Supervisors OK lease agreement for Pacifico
Measure H trailing in early returns
By Anne Ternus-Bellamy Enterprise staff writer
By Anne Ternus-Bellamy
The Yolo County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday approved an agreement with the city of Davis that would allow the county to lease two vacant buildings in the Pacifico complex to provide up to 38 lowincome families with housing. The Davis City Council is expected to consider the agreement at its next meeting on June 14, but council members last summer expressed their support for the plan in principle. Currently Pacifico, located on Drew Circle in South Davis adjacent to the Putah Creek bike path, is providing housing to low-income individuals in two of the complex’s four buildings. Under the five-year lease agreement approved by county supervisors on Tuesday, the other two buildings would be refurbished in order to provide
Enterprise staff writer Measure H, the Davis Innovation and Sustainability Campus, was trailing in early returns on Tuesday evening. With 10,570 ballots counted as of 9 p.m., 63.4 percent opposed the measure and 36.6 percent supported it. DiSC would bring about 1.1 million square feet of office, laboratory and advanced manufacturing space, as well as 460 housing units, to open space directly east of Mace Boulevard and north of I-80. The project that went before voters during this election is about half the size of the original DISC project turned down by voters in 2020 on a 52-48 percent vote. In that election, 31,647 votes were cast with 16,458 voting against the project and 15,189 in favor.
Friday was Celebrate Davis in Community Park. Merchants, government agencies and the community came out to experience all Davis has to offer and enjoy local music. Sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce, Celebrate Davis offered locals a chance to shop their favorite businesses, enjoy entertainment and stroll through Yolo history, purchase dinner from food vendors and beverages from the beer and wine garden, have fun at the bounce houses and enjoy fireworks at the end of the event.

By Aaron Geerts Enterprise staff writer Thursday, June 2, marked a lengthy school board meeting that kicked off with an abundance of recognition for district students’ achievements, both academic and athletic. Subsequently, it was business as usual with program updates, reviews and approvals. The special-education program review update was led by the district director of special education, Patrick McGrew. It encompassed a collection of qualitative and quantitative data that yielded program strengths as well
as areas for improvement. He also covered data derived from focus groups as well as surveys given out to parents, students and staff to better bolster the program. “It’s important to me to get as much input as possible from those involved in special education in our district. And we especially want to hear from those who are historically less connected from communication channels,” said McGrew. “To date, there have been eight focus groups for parents, eight for paraeducators,

Briefly Student injured in campus assault A UC Davis student suffered serious injuries after being assaulted on campus early Sunday morning, officials said. According to a crime alert bulletin, the 20-year-old victim got into a verbal altercation with a group of people at about 1 a.m. at 565 Oxford Circle, west of Shasta Hall. “Two subjects ran to the victim where he was hit and kicked unconscious,” the bulletin said. “The victim sustained severe facial injuries. The victim was transported to a hospital for medical treatment.” Police continue to seek the two suspects in the case, both described as Black males between 18 and 22 years old. One was about 6-foot-1 and 180 pounds, wearing a white T-shirt, bright peach-colored shorts and a baseball cap. The other was about 6 feet tall and 190 pounds, wearing a white T-shirt, dark shorts, white shoes and a light-colored wide brim hat. Anyone with information about this or similar incidents is asked to call the UCD Police Department at 530-754-COPS (2677).

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8, 2022
How it’s all going to turn out today O n the very day I started this daily grind a few decades or so ago, I was greeted by a large poster on the wall of the newsroom that said simply “A Deadline Is a Writer’s Best Friend.” That has generally been true over the years, but given that my deadline for Wednesday’s paper looms several hours before the polls close on Tuesday night, it is definitely not my best friend this time around. So, I’ve turned to my always reliable crystal ball and have absolute confidence in the words that follow. The outcomes listed below are not guesses, they are facts. Of this I am certain. First, I’d like to congratulate Governor Newsom for singlehandedly prevailing over 25 other candidates. It’s not easy to beat that many people all by yourself, but Gavin made it look easy. I mean, imagine a football game with 25 players on one side of scrimmage and just one player on the other side. Democrats are already looking around for someone other than Joe Biden to run against Donald Trump in 2024 and Gavin may just be their man. But only if he agrees to never again set foot in the Napa Valley. The big ticket item, of course, was Measure H and what a donnybrook that turned out to be. I suspect it ended up a bit closer than some people thought it would. I can also tell you that the winner of that Davis seat on the Yolo County Board of Supervisors went to someone with an “L” and a “U” in their first name and an “E” and
a “C” in their last name. You can cash your winning ticket and take it to the bank. The hotly contested race for Yolo County District Attorney went to the candidate with an “R,” an “I,” an “E” and a “G” in their last name, while the County Sheriff spot went to a guy whose first name begins with the letters “T-O-M.” Other clear winners included Garth, Jesse, Mike and Cecilia. I’d also like to give a special award to Yolo Superior Court Judge Daniel Maguire for introducing higher math into the legal arena during this election season. Maguire, you see, did not just decide out of thin air to award $42,000 in attorney fees out of Davis City Councilman Dan Carson’s pocket to the “Real Parties in Interest” representing No on H. Carson had gone to Woodland’s highest court claiming five provisions of the No on H ballot argument were false or misleading. According to Anne TernusBellamy’s Enterprise piece, “Maguire noted that Carson prevailed on one provision, was granted partial relief on another and lost on the remaining three.”

Well, as long as we know where you stand. Furthermore, Maguire noted, “It is important to note that there was not one battle here, but five, since each of the challenged provisions were separately analyzed, each statement stood or fell on its own.”
B
ut wait, it gets better. Here is where Maguire shifts gears from legal scholar to mathematical master. “The quantitative tally is one victory for petitioner (Carson), three for Real Parties in Interest, and one split decision.” Unfortunately, the law does not provide for extra innings in the case of a split decision. Thus, Maguire reasoned, the real parties were 70 percent successful, with Carson coming in at 30 percent. Turns out 70 percent of the $92,024 in attorney fees the Real Parties were seeking comes out to
$65,117. And 30 percent of the $76,358 Carson was seeking is $22,907. Subtract one from the other and the net result is that Carson owes Real Parties just over $42,000. Whether Maguire used a calculator or simply did the math in his head is unclear, but since there are six Real Parties splitting the cash, the six of them ought to get together and throw a Real Party. Finally, I’d like to thank the homeowner on a busy corner lot in East Davis for being fair to everyone in the display of lawn signs. I don’t know about you, but it made all of us in the neighborhood proud. (See photo). And just think, we get to do this all over again in another five short months. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenterprise.net.
Victim of Yolo County homicide ID’d By Lauren Keene Enterprise staff writer Yolo County authorities attached a name to an unsolved murder case last week, thanks to a DNA match using genetic genealogy. Gerron Gipson, who had ties to the Sacramento area, was 29 years old when his killer delivered a fatal stab wound to his heart and left his body along the east bank of Elk Slough in Clarksburg. That’s where someone found the badly decomposed remains on March 4, 1999, obscured by dry grass and a sleeping bag. Coroner’s officials made numerous attempts to identify the man, at one point collaborating with Chico State University’s forensic anthropology department for a skull reconstruction that attempted to replicate the victim’s facial features. After a decade with no leads, Yolo County Deputy Coroner Laurel Weeks sought a second reconstruction from Project EDAN (Everyone Deserves a Name), a
group of forensic artists who donate their work to lawenforcement GIPSON agencies. Victim not Forensic seen since experts 1999 conducted this skull reconstruction in a 1999 Yolo County homicide case. But Gipson’s identity remained a mystery until last Thursday, when advancements in technology enabled investigators to obtain a partial DNA match from the victim’s remains and, using genetic genealogy, trace them to members of Gipson’s family. Members of the Yolo County Sheriff ’s Office, Yolo County District Attorney’s Office Cold Case Unit, Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office and state Department of Justice collaborated in the investigation. “While this important work cannot bring a loved one back, I hope the
Gipson family can finally feel a sense of closure,” Yolo County Sheriff Tom Lopez said. “I appreciate the many, many hours of tireless work by our dedicated law enforcement professionals who made this possible.” “Though there was a passage of time, Gerron Gipson was never forgotten,” District Attorney Jeff Reisig added. “I am proud of the dedication and collaboration among our law enforcement partners that will make it possible to return Gerron to his loved ones and offer them some sense of closure. We will wholeheartedly support them in the coming days.” The investigation into Gipson’s homicide remains active. Anyone with information about this case is urged to contact the Yolo County Sheriff ’s Office at 530-666-8282, or leave an anonymous tip at 530-6685248. — Reach Lauren Keene at lkeene@davisenterprise. net.

Shots fired in downtown Davis By Lauren Keene Enterprise Staff Writer Davis police continue to investigate a shooting that rattled witnesses at Second and E streets early Saturday morning. But with neither a suspect nor a victim identified, police say they have an uphill battle ahead of them. It remains unclear whether anyone was injured during the incident, which began with a verbal dispute around 2:10 a.m., according to Davis Police Chief Darren Pytel. “There were multiple callers with differing accounts as to suspect(s) and possible
victims,” Pytel said in a written statement. “After all statements were taken and evidence collected, it is believed that the unknown suspect was involved in a verbal altercation with another unknown person in the intersection.” At one point, the suspect pulled out a handgun and fired four to five shots at the other person, who fled on foot before getting into a vehicle with several others inside. Investigating officers recovered four spent .40-caliber shell casings from a Smith & Wesson firearm, Pytel said. There were no
signs of blood from a shooting injury or damage to any buildings or vehicles. “The subject who was shot at has not come forward or been identified,” Pytel said, adding that no shooting victims sought treatment at area hospitals, which are legally required to notify law enforcement of gunshot victims or violent injuries. Officers returned to the area Saturday to check for video surveillance at nearby businesses. Meanwhile, anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact the Davis Police Department at 530-7475400.

A fire Thursday night damaged power lines and a train trestle.
Fire damage disrupts Railroad operations By Lauren Keen Enterprise Staff Writer As firefighters continue to investigate the cause of a vegetation fire that damaged a historic train trestle last Thursday night, railroad officials say the damage is expected to disrupt its operations for at least another week. The blaze broke out at about 7:30 p.m. in the area of County Road 100A near Willow Slough, east of Highway 113, burning about two acres of vegetation and damaging power lines, along with the historic wooden trestle used by the California Northern Railroad line.
“The effects of the fire are currently impacting California Northern Railroad customer operations on the West Valley between Davis and Tehama,” said Tom Ciuba, a spokesman for Genesee & Wyoming Railroad Services, Inc. Ciuba said its operations are expected to resume on Monday, June 13. He also noted that railroad records indicate the trestle, or bridge, was built by Northern Railway, a subsidiary of Central Pacific Railroad, and opened in late 1869, making it more than 150 years old.
Jury convicts West Sac man of child molestation By Lauren Keene Enterprise Staff Writer A former West Sacramento man faces a prison sentence more than two centuries long following his conviction last week on 28 counts of child molestation, according to the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office. Prosecutors said David John Sidhu, 75, committed the acts on a family member between the ages of 5 and 12, although she didn’t report the conduct to authorities until 15 years after it ended.
“The jury also found that enhancements for every count were true, finding that each of the offenses was completed by the use of duress, and that each offense involved substantial sexual conduct,” the DA’s Office reported in a news release. Sidhu could receive up to 224 years in prison at his July 14 sentencing before Yolo Superior Court Judge Timothy Fall, who presided over the trial. The jury returned its verdicts Thursday.

Why toilets aren’t garbage cans By Sandra Macomb Special to The Enterprise
A
toilet is the ultimate convenience. One simple flush and everything is out of sight — and out of mind, right? However, wastewater treatment is more complicated than it seems, and challenges can arise when what you’re flushing isn’t meant to be flushed. Sewer systems are only meant to handle liquid wastes (with only small amounts of solids), and messy problems can occur when other materials end up in the sewers. So, what’s the story? After being flushed, material from the toilet joins the wastewater from sink drains, shower drains and the rest of the drains inside your household, then flows out to the City’s sewer main in the street. The wastewater then goes through a large system of underground pipes (using gravity) and pump stations (when the gravity needs help) to get to the city’s Wastewater Treatment Plant, located about 5 miles north of the city center. There, the wastewater goes through a treatment process so the water can be reused. Sewage systems are designed to handle mostly liquids, hence the underground pipes and pump stations. This is one of the
Environmental update main reasons why toilets should only be used for waste that comes from your body and toilet paper. All other materials, including “flushable” wipes, food scraps, cooking oil, medicines, etc. should never be flushed down the toilet or poured down a drain. When these materials enter the sewer system, they can lead to clogged sewer pipes in your home and in the City’s sewer system (trust us, it’s super gross when this happens). Another factor to keep in mind is since people are getting so good at water conservation in their homes (way to go Davis!), there is often less water going down the drains, and unanticipated solids can become even more of an issue. So you might be asking, why specifically include “flushable” wipes, cooking oil and medicines? Aren’t flushable wipes … flushable? Well, not really. Even though the packaging says so, wipes do not break down like toilet paper does in water. They typically maintain their form, and when flushed down the toilet, they can cause major backups and clogs within the sewer lines. Well, what about food scraps? Don’t they just go down the garbage disposal? It turns out it’s
more complicated than that. While your garbage disposal may be able to handle food scraps, the sewer pipes cannot. Besides, there’s a better option available! Instead of placing food scraps and plate scrapings down the garbage disposal, you can place them all in your organics cart so they can be turned into nutrientrich compost. Cooking oil is a liquid and meant to go in the pipes, right? Well, what might seem like liquid when you're done cooking can solidify when poured down the drain. And sadly, pouring hot water or soap down the drain will not help. In fact, it can only break up the grease temporarily. Fats, oils and grease build up on the walls of sewer pipes and block the plumbing, which can lead to sewer backups in homes and into streets. Clogged sewer lines can lead to expensive plumbing maintenance for you and the city (and as mentioned above — it’s really gross). So what to do instead? Wait until the fats, oils and grease are cool, then soak up small amounts with paper towels and place the towels in the organics bin. Save larger amounts to recycle for free at the Household Hazardous Waste facility at the Yolo
County Landfill. You can also bring along all your fluorescent bulbs, electronic waste, paints, medications and other hazardous waste items for free and safe disposal at the Landfill, every Friday and Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Lastly, while the city’s Wastewater Treatment Plant can treat water to be reused (and released into the Davis wetlands), the treatment process does not remove medications from the water. To prevent environmental contamination, prescription and over-thecounter medications should never be flushed down a toilet (or, for that matter, thrown in the trash). Instead, take the medications to any of these local drop-off locations: Yolo County Landfill Household Hazardous Waste Drop-Off Facility (mentioned above), UC Davis Clinic Pharmacy, UC Davis Police Department, Davis Police Department, or Kaiser Permanente Davis MOB Pharmacy.

People watch bats emerge from under the Yolo Causeway during the Yolo Basin Foundation Bat Walk.
Bats back at causeway Special to The Enterprise Summer is here, and the bats are back. The maternity Mexican free-tailed bat colony under the I-80 Yolo Causeway is growing daily as they return from wherever they spent the winter. The bats return to the Causeway as the weather warms, crops grow and insect populations explode. In late June each summer the females give birth to one pup. She nurses that pup for about 5 to 6 weeks and then it joins her as she flies throughout the Central Valley to consume crop pests and mosquitos. There also are males that live in the Yolo Causeway bridge, but their groupings are smaller, so they are less noticeable. Throughout the summer Yolo Basin Foundation offers opportunities to learn more about the bats. Registration is now open and some evenings
have already sold out. This year the Bat Talk and Walk events are in a hybrid format. The Talk is virtual and the Walk is inperson. Live ambassador bats are present for up close viewing at both the Talk and the Walk. Children who are interested in bats are encouraged to join Yolo Basin Foundation for a morning of “Bats and Crafts.” They will meet live bats from our local area and have fun creating crafts and playing bat games. This special event is aimed at children, ages 3 to 8, especially those that are too young to stay up late to watch the bats fly. Parents must stay with their children. All events and some fun fact videos about the programs are at https://www. yolobasin.org/bats2022. Yolo Basin Foundation offers environmental education programs for all ages related to wetlands and wildlife.

Obituaries Victoria Haard
Jan. 4, 1943 — June 1, 2022 Victoria Haard was born on Jan. 4, 1943, in Manhattan, New York, to Herbert and Elizabeth Grifenhagen. Vicky passed away peacefully on Wednesday, June 1, 2022, in Davis, at the age of 79. She was battling cancer. Vicky was a dedicated wife, loving mother of three, and a grandmother of seven. She lived by her faith in Jesus Christ and His Gospel. With her deep love of the Body of Christ, she was active in her local churches and the Fellowship of the Saints, and was involved with the Gideons — who focus on the free distribution of scripture — for more than 25 years. Wherever her journey took her, Vicky always managed to touch the hearts of those nearby with her grace, kindness and sincerity. Her absence leaves a void in many lives. She will be greatly missed by her family. Beyond her involvement with church and family, Vicky was a student of life who loved to discover the world. Together with her beloved husband Norm,
she visited more than 30 countries across all seven continents. Vicky also took an active interest in writing poetry and reading books, in the study of medicine and nature, and in many other hobbies including gardening, singing, knitting and baseball. But she was most especially fascinated by birds and the concept of flight. Vicky subscribed to flight magazines while young, and later did postgraduate studies of ornithology at the University of Massachusetts before finally receiving her personal pilot’s license in her 50s. She always loved attracting and feeding birds in her gardens, and was most especially fond of all the metaphors and scriptures about birds and flight to be found in the Bible. In addition to her love of birds, Vicky took delight in bells, roses, and good chocolate. She was the embodiment of gratitude for not just the good things but all aspects of her experience, and was continually thankful for the myriad blessings that made up her
spiritually rich and full life. Vicky is survived by her sister, Carol (Bob) HAARD Russell; daughter Elizabeth (Kevin) Schatz; sons Theodore (Ellen Lin) Haard and Daniel Haard; grandchildren Abigail, Jesse, Peter, Aiden, Evan and Ian Schatz and Adrian Haard; nieces, nephews and many other close family members, dear brothers and sisters in Christ, and friends from all over the world. A viewing was held from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 7, at Newton-Bracewell Chico Funeral Home. A memorial service will take place at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, June 8, at Paradise Cemetery District, in Paradise. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations be sent to The Gideons International in care of Newton-Bracewell Chico Funeral Home.

To market, to market Editor’s note: This column first ran in April 2018
M
y Facebook post from April 20, 2015: “Thank you to the beautiful shopper in the pasta aisle at Nugget who danced with me to the irresistible swing music playing on the sound system this afternoon. You were so lovely and you made my day. How wonderful that a woman, nearly twice my age, who grew up with the swing of Benny Goodman, could dance so effortlessly with a woman who learned country swing on the weathered dance floor of the Eagle's Nest in Billings, Montana. I've never danced so well and I hope anyone who has a chance to review the Nugget security footage from Aisle 13 this afternoon enjoys the moment as much as I did.” It was a Monday and I was in a hurry to get dinner and get home. I remember telling myself, as I often do, “Get in and get out.” But the music was infectious. When I saw the beautiful silver-haired woman tapping her foot and snapping her fingers in front of the rigatoni, I knew we had to dance. And when the song ended, my new friend looked me square in the eye, leaned down and kissed my hand. This memory came to mind as I watched one of my favorite Ted Talks, “The secret to living longer may be your social life.” In her presentation, developmental psychologist Susan Pinker shares her assertion, along with a study, that shows the greatest indicator of how long we will live is the number of face-to-face interactions we have every day. The study by Julianne Holt-Lunstad, a researcher at
Brigham Young University, was summarized with 10 indicators that determine a person’s longevity. Listed from least powerful to most powerful, they were: ■ Clean air ■ Hypertension treatment ■ Being lean vs. overweight ■ Exercise ■ Cardiac rehab ■ Flu vaccine ■ Quit boozing ■ Quit smoking ■ Close relationships ■ Social interaction Social interaction ranked as the most important indicator of a long life. According to the study, the number of interactions we have with people on a daily basis is more important even than those close relationships we have with the people we love the most. Community and a sense of belonging are vital to our wellbeing. As Pinker shared, “Building in-person interaction into our cities, into our workplaces and into our agendas bolsters the immune system, sends feelgood hormones surging through the bloodstream and the brain, and helps us live longer.” Knowing we will be seen, recognized and welcomed is one of the reasons so many of us continue to get up every morning, brush our teeth and venture out into the world. We can join book clubs and poker groups. We can walk our dogs around the block and talk
to our neighbors. We can buy our morning coffee from the same shop every day. There are many ways to find our people. My way is grocery shopping at Nugget. Davis has a wide variety of grocery stores. We have big ones, small ones, chain stores and independently owned stores. We have supermarkets that play great music and some that don’t. There are stores that specialize in local and organic and others that regularly offer bargains. They are all different, all fully stocked and all provide two things human beings desperately need: food and endless opportunities for social interaction. If you want guaranteed face-toface social interaction, all you need to do is go to your nearest grocery store with a desire to interact. Over the years I’ve had thousands of meaningful social interactions while grocery shopping. I could never recount all the conversations and encounters with old friends, new friends and strangers, but they occur every time I go to the grocery store. Many times, they are small interactions, like “Hey, Chuck!” to our favorite checker, or “How is your writing coming along?” to another checker (who also happens to be a writer and singer). Or to my friend Susanne who I see about once a month when we both happen to be shopping at the same time, “What’s for dinner tonight?” Other times the encounters are helpful, such as the time our daughter wanted to create a cheese plate for dinner. Emme, who is on a first-name basis with the cheese experts at Nugget, secured the assistance of Christina, who helped her choose the items and advised her on how to

assemble the plate. When I can’t quite get my barbecued ribs to “fall off the bone,” I ask the guys behind the meat counter and my problem is solved (you must remove the thin, plastic-like membrane from the back of the ribs by gripping it with a paper towel, then cook them low and slow). And other times, the experiences are the kind that stay with you, make you think, and help you to understand the world a little bit better. Like spontaneous dancing. Or changing the tire for a mom in the parking lot who was already having a tough day. Or asking the gentleman buying the pickles if they are good and ending up learning all about his life in Brooklyn, how he moved to Davis to be closer to his son and grandchildren, then taking his recommendation on the Grillo’s Pickles, as well as the lox and bagels, and going home with a bunch of stuff that was never on your shopping list. If you haven’t already found your grocery store, find it. Make it yours. Get to know the butcher and the baker and the bagger.
Get to know the other shoppers. Smile. Be curious. Ask questions. Next time the kind associate asks if he or she can help you out with your groceries, say “Absolutely!” If you’re curious about the beer with the funny name that a college student is reaching for, ask about it. When the checker who is also a serious “foodie” recommends the newest meat substitute and even leaves his post to show you where it is in the cooler, try it and then let him know what you thought. You will have a new friend, another reason to look forward to grocery shopping, and you will possibly have added to the length of your life. It’s been more than three years since my first Nugget dance and it remains one of my favorite memories. I intend to grocery shop every day for the rest of my life. And I am certain, if I do, I’ll be telling that story to my greatgreat-grandchildren when I am 105. — Shelley Dunning is a Davis resident and a mom of four. Reach her at dunningsm@ yahoo.com.
Winner-take-all approach has consequences I R n what mad, mad, mad, mad world does it make sense that an 18-year-old boy can buy a Beretta but not a Budweiser, or an assault weapon but not an ale? That makes absolutely no sense to me but I guess it does to some voters and some legislators in some states. If I apply the age-scale for gun purchase to beer, I would let a 13-year-old buy beer. If I apply the age-scale for beer purchase to (non-sporting) guns, a buyer should be 30. The design and purpose and use of beer and guns is just that different. I am perfectly willing to live with the requirement that beer purchasers be 21 years old, even though I think it’s silly. I would not want to live where an 18-year-old may easily acquire a hand gun or an assault-style rifle. I cannot tell you how deeply the shooting of so many children in Uvalde, Texas, affected me. I saw the photo of each child and read the name of each and cried for half an hour. I cried for all the reasons that we all cried over
this; there is no need to list those reasons as there are no words sufficient. Unfortunately, I think the event in Uvalde is an inevitable consequence of the society in which we live. We live in a Winner-Take-All Society: In sports we cannot tolerate a tie so we play extra innings of baseball until a winner emerges. In football and basketball we allot extra time to decide the winner. But a winner we must have. And a loser, of course. It's not like that in the rest of the world, where soccer, rugby and cricket are played. If at the end of regulation time the score is tied we call it a “draw” and that’s just the way it is. The
teams played equally well. We bring this winner-take-all attitude to many aspects of public life. We have untold dozens of groups with an intense common interest. I’ve heard them called “tribes.” Tribes are held together by common beliefs, a common vocabulary and a single focus on getting their way. A hundred years ago such a tribe brought us Prohibition of alcohol. A modern tribe is bringing us prohibition of abortion. Then there are tribes about white supremacy, stop the steal, gay rights, school curricula, Black lives, religious rights, among many others. Other tribes are media outlets, or corporations or industrial groups such a Big Pharma, coal and other fossil fuels, and of course the firearms industry with its political arm, the NRA. None of these groups or tribes are vying for a mere place in the sun, a place to be, to be heard and to do their thing. They are looking to dominate, to have it all, to be the winner, the last and only man standing, the cock of the walk, the definer of opinion.
Winner-take-all may be the cause and so-called polarization its effect, in our public discourse.
ich Rifkin in a recent Enterprise column dramatically documented political contributions of many millions via the NRA from the firearms industry, to Republican senators as part of an ambition to put as little regulation as possible between manufacture and sale of guns. The ultimate removal of almost all restraints from gun sales, as a result of this expenditure, will eventually and inevitably put guns into the hands of those who should not have them. That ultimately leads to Uvalde, and schools and synagogues and churches and supermarkets and theaters and public spaces across the nation, to say nothing of some 45,000 deaths from accident, suicide and homicide. Unintentional deaths, to be sure, but inevitable. Now I suppose the alcohol industry many years ago could have adopted an aggressive attitude towards promoting sales.

They could have purchased senators to drive down alcohol taxes, abrogate the three-tier system, defang the sting of law enforcement, and lower the age and other restraints of time and place for purchase of alcohol. Though there is strong competition in the beverage field, producers compete with each other, not with the regulations under which they compete. The brewing industry in particular has been a loud voice and strong advocate of “Don’t Drink and Drive,” and people and places of beer manufacture and distribution are all sober places. It’s the right thing to do. I think, once upon a time, the NRA also took its responsibilities towards gun safety seriously.

RETURNS: Tough to get community approval From Page A1 Developer Dan Ramos returned to the city in 2021 with the slimmed-down version that he said reflected community concerns. Tuesday’s vote on Measure H marked the seventh time city voters have weighed in under the “Citizens’ Right to Vote on Future Use of Open Space and Agricultural Lands.” Originally passed in 2000 as Measure J — and renewed twice since then — the ordinance requires that any project that that changes the land use designation of property from agricultural or open space to urban uses must be approved by voters. Baseline project features, which cannot be significantly modified later without voter approval, are also part of that vote. Since Measure J was first passed, six developments have gone before city voters, with just two of them receiving voter approval — Nishi 2.0 and the West Davis Active Adult Community (now Bretton Woods). Voters turned down Covell Village,
Wildhorse Ranch, the first Nishi project and the original Davis Innovation and Sustainability Campus. While each of those votes was contentious, the battle over Measure H in 2022 took things to new levels, complete with a lawsuit filed over the ballot arguments opposing the project. Davis City Councilman Dan Carson filed the writ seeking court-ordered changes to the ballot argument and Judge Daniel Maguire ultimately ordered two changes — removing the word “only” from one section and changing a unit of measurement related to greenhouse gas emissions. The remainder of the ballot argument was left intact and the signers of that ballot argument were ultimately awarded $42,000 in attorney fees to be paid by Carson. Outcry over that lawsuit dominated the final two months of the Measure H campaign, with a number of Davis residents weighing in on social media and in letters to the editor saying it had swayed their vote.

PACIFICO: Neighbors worry about impacts From Page A1 temporary housing primarily to single parents with one or two children. Those families participate in the state-funded CalWORKS program which aims to provide resources to help families get into permanent housing. But the lease agreement is not without opposition. A number of residents living near Pacifico spoke out against the proposal on Tuesday, expressing concerns about ongoing issues at the site and what they see as an absence of management. Pacifico was originally designed as a 112-bed cooperative housing development for students, but it went into foreclosure and became public housing more than a decade ago. In recent years, residents living in the Oakshade neighborhood have complained repeatedly about the negative impacts on their neighborhood emanating from Pacifico, including what they describe as drug use, property crime and verbal and physical harassment of neighbors by residents of and visitors to Pacifico. There have also been complaints about a lack of property management and oversight at Pacifico. The city of Davis owns the property but Yolo County Housing manages it. Davis City Council members have acknowledged those concerns and several years ago sought proposals for reuse of the site. Several came in and were discussed in the community but none came to fruition. Next week the council will decide if placing CalWORKS families in the vacant buildings is the solution. The $21,579 the city would receive monthly through the lease agreement could be used to improve the two non-CalWORKS buildings on the site should the agreement be approved. In presenting the proposal to the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, Nolan Sullivan, interim director of the Health and Human Services Agency, noted that Pacifico has lacked proper case management for
years and said, “I think the issues the neighbors have experienced over the past couple of years probably haven’t been great.” However, he said, by adding CalWORKS housing to the site, “we’re providing a revenue stream for onsite security, enhanced case management and property management services across all four buildings.” He added that placing families with young children at a location that has dealt with the kinds of issues neighbors have complained about is concerning, but noted that many of these families are currently living in their cars, in hotels on West Capitol Avenue in West Sacramento and in other unsafe situations. “So this is a much more stable place to put these families,” Sullivan said, adding that on-site, aroundthe-clock security, security cameras and more will enhance the safety and serenity of the whole neighborhood. The two buildings would be configured by age and gender, with one building designated for families with children under the age of six, the other for families with children 7 and up. According to the county, 81 percent of children in the CalWORKS program are under the age of 12 with primarily female heads of household. Supervisor Jim Provenza, whose district includes the Pacifico site, said, “the easy thing for me would be to just oppose it because I have constituents that don’t want it. But it would also not be responsible because we have homeless families that need to be housed. “And we’re talking for the most part about mothers with young children... we’re not talking about your typical homeless population. We’re talking about people on CalWORKS, meaning that they are on work projects, they’re in education, they’re trying to improve themselves at a time they’re in a housing crisis. So the idea is to provide housing while they get themselves out of that situation. Some are from Davis, some are from other parts of the county, but it’s a county responsibility and there’s
not a whole lot of places to put them,” said Provenza. Provenza added that he completely sympathizes “with the members of the neighborhood who feel impacted by the current Pacifico project. “And there have been mistakes. I don’t think it’s been well managed … there have been management problems ongoing that have continued to this day and those need to be addressed,” he said. But the city of Davis, Provenza said, has agreed to use the net revenue from the rent to improve the two non-CalWORKS buildings “and we have a joint commitment to improving the overall complex.” Some area residents are not convinced. One neighbor of the Pacifico complex said putting CalWORKS families in the vacant buildings would create “a 100-bed homeless shelter… immediately adjacent to a singlefamily residential area.” Tracy Dewit, an Oakshade resident who has been vocal for years about issues related to Pacifico, echoed that. “There’s a high need to house homeless people,” she said, “but we’ve already been down this road. We have been experiencing this for 10 years. “I am respectfully asking that this property no longer be used to house homeless individuals. We have already proven it does not work,” said Dewit. Others spoke in support. Georgina Valencia, a former city of Davis social services commissioner and now a planning commissioner, said, “I think this is something that needs to be done. “The thing that concerns me is this idea of NIMBY-ism. Do I have anxiety about the people that will be there and how the program will develop? Yeah, I have some anxiety about it. But I have greater anxiety about people living on the street, about families living on the street and children not being taken care of,” Valencia said.

The presentation included the updated credentials teachers are required to have for TK, curriculum alignment, enrollment growth, facility planning as well as other implementation plan components. “An important part of our program design is community outreach so that we learn from our community partners and build a foundation for future collaboration,” said Boonchouy. “Contacts were distributed amongst district leadership and over the last two months, conducted ongoing outreach. The objective for these calls and meetings was to ensure our community partners understood the upcoming changes in the new TK expansion and get the reactions, needs, priorities and thoughts on this opportunity.” Another significant happening in the meeting was the adoption and approval of the joint powers authority agreement, creating government financial services JPA.

Improve health with Rx solutions Statepoint
While diet and exercise improvements typically top Americans’ todo lists, experts say that focusing a few of your goals on forming good habits relating to your pharmacy routine can improve your overall health. Susan Peppers, RPh, vice president, Express Scripts Pharmacy, suggests these rules to make the most of your pharmacy care.
Ask more questions Many of us are hesitant to speak up when we have questions about prescribed medications or therapies. Don’t be! Pharmacists have clinical expertise and can play an important role in your whole health.
Clean out your cabinet Many people find they’re more likely to take medications properly if they have a well-organized medicine cabinet. Go through and properly dispose of expired medications or those you’re no longer taking. For more information on discarding expired medications, visit https://www.fda.gov/consumers/ consumer-updates/where -andhow-dispose-unused-medicines.
Never miss a dose The best way to see improvement in both chronic and short-term conditions is to take medication as prescribed — the right dose at the right time in the right way. Try using a pill container or a dose reminder or taking your medication as part of your daily routine, such as brushing your teeth. Talk to your pharmacist about the best time to take your medication. You should also consider ongoing home delivery so you never run out of medication due to a missed pharmacy trip. Your healthcare plan may be able to enroll eligible medica-
tions in an automatic refill program. Your prescriptions will be refilled at the right time, so your medicine will always be on hand.
Take your medications safely Taking medication the wrong way or without knowledge of their effects can be dangerous. Read and understand the instructions printed on your prescription label, so you can be sure you’re taking your medicine exactly as intended. For example, taking certain medications on an empty stomach if you’re supposed to take it with a meal can reduce their effectiveness. You’ll also want to be sure you don’t mix your medication with certain other drugs or alcohol, or even engage in specific activities, like driving, if the label warns you against doing so.
Check-in with your doctor Your health can change, and your prescriptions should change along with it. Schedule time at least once annually to go over everything you’re being prescribed. It’s a good chance to talk to your doctor about what’s working, what’s not and what might need adjustments. In turn, keeping all medications at a single pharmacy when possible allows your pharmacist to have the most accurate information to help keep you safe from drug interactions or medication issues. Be sure your physician knows which pharmacy you use.
Update your insurance The beginning of a new year is the perfect time to ensure you have updated insurance information accessible in case you need to reference it. Replace old cards with new ones.
comes as California local education agencies (LEA) issue the biggest share of total debt issued by California public agencies which beckons a need for specialized expertise to support LEA debt financing. “There is a growing need for specialized expertise to support LEA debt financing that is transparent, efficient, guided by established best practices and encourages public trust with respect to taxpayer funds,” said superintendent of business services, Amari Watkins. “For over 30 years DJUSD has successfully worked with and received financial services provided by government financial strategies in support of DJUSD’s financing needs and future facilities planning.” After discussion amongst the board, it voted unanimously to approve the joint powers authority agreement creating Government Financial Services JPA. As always, there was a COVID-19 health and safety update presented by associate superintendent of student support services, Laura Juanitas. Unfortunately, the county continues to see an increase in positive cases. Juanitas also reported that the DJUSD will suspend the use of the COVID dashboard as of June 10 because once school is out, numbers will become inaccurate. “Our preparations for summer school include having a
nurse at Harper, Korematsu and Montgomery to assist in assessing students for illness,” said Juanitas. “Summer school nurses will have an ample supply of tests they can use for students who are experiencing symptoms.” A big portion of the meeting belonged to tax-rate changes. Spearheaded by associate superintendent, Amari Watkins, the tax rate changes were given a public hearing followed by votes for approval. Authority given to the board allows it to adjust the tax rate of community facilities district (CFD) No. 1 by 4.63% per year. The board voted unanimously to pass the proposed change. The CFD No. 2 tax rate allows the same authority given to adjust it 4.63%. This motion passed unanimously as well. After that was the 2022-23 Measure G tax rate. Based on inflation, the board has the authority to adjust the tax rate by 5.1%. This measure passed unanimously like the others. Finally came the Measure H tax rate. Similar to measure G, the board has authority to adjust it 5.1% and it was passed unanimously, too. The meeting came to a close late into the night with the next school board meeting being scheduled for June 16 at 6:30 p.m. in the Community Chambers at 23 Russell Blvd. It will be televised on DJUSD Education Channel 17 and streamed at djusd.davismedia.org.

FC Davis men lose Causeway Classico By Henry Krueger Enterprise correspondent As the National Premier Soccer League’s top goal scorer, Manolo Pina is the focal point of any team that faces Sacramento Gold FC. Pina scored twice in the Gold’s 2-0 win over rival FC Davis on Saturday at Playfield’s Park. “He’s not the most athletic guy, but he holds the ball well, and he finds the spaces really well, so credit to him for finding the net twice,” said FC Davis forward Ty Shikashio, whose team goes to 3-4-1 on the season. Both of Pina’s goals came in the second half, with his first coming in the 75th minute and his second in the 90th minute. Pina’s second score may have been the best play of the match, as he shifted past an FC Davis defender on the left wing before cutting toward the goal where he nailed a close-range shot. For most players, scoring twice is exceptional. But for Pina, who scored three times in his team’s last match against the Oakland Stompers on May 21, it’s not a rare occurrence. Aware of Pina’s talent, Golden Lions head coach Kris Hall was pleased with
the way his team handled Pina. “I felt like for the most part, we shut him down,” Hall said. Anytime you’re inside the 18-yard box, people are going to get nervous or anxious and he’s a very calm player and he showed up tonight.” FC Davis’ defense held strong for most of the match. But ultimately the Gold’s offensive scheme was too overwhelming to contain. “They do a really good job of playing it through the midfield so credit to them for dismantling us that way,” Shikashio said. “We solved it a little bit in the first half, but once they play their 10, they like to overload one side and once they overload one side, it’s two on one against one of our outside back, and at that point, it’s a done deal.” FC Davis was shutout for the second time this season, despite having several big-time opportunities to score, including a penalty kick in the 81st minute that hit the bottom of the left post. “I’m not worried about us not finishing those chances,” Hall said. “I don’t think that’s an area that we have to continue to work on.”

We’ve always gone with Phil Steele’s College Football Preview. n The 2022 season will be different in many respects, notably at the Power 5 level. With Name, image likeness and the transfer portal, much of the college game has become another version of professional football. In the NFL, all the players get paid. In college, only the high-profile guys do. n Coming up on the 10th anniversary of now-retired San Francisco Giants pitcher Matt Cain’s perfect game. On June 13, 2012, Cain retired in succession all 27 Houston Astros he faced. His perfecto was aided by center fielder Gregor Blanco’s sensational running catch on a ball headed to left center field. The Giants will celebrate the feat Sunday with Matt Cain bobbleheads to the first 20,000 fans. Only 23 perfect games have been thrown in major league history. No one has ever thrown one against the Giants, either in New York or San Francisco. n Golden State Warriors in seven.

DHS athletics boosting showcase By Henry Krueger Enterprise correspondent In an effort to engage the community and spread awareness of the numerous sports Davis High has to offer, the school’s athletic program held its first-ever Davis Athletic Showcase at Ron and Mary Brown Stadium on Saturday. Put on by the Davis Blue Devil Athletic Boosters, the event was an opportunity for future and incoming students to learn about the school’s sports teams from current coaches and student-athletes. “What we’re trying to do is open up the Davis High School community and give kids access to all of the sports that are out there,” said Greg Campbell, president of Davis Blue Devil Athletic Boosters. With different stations around the track for each program, the athletic showcase served to help kids understand sports they may have never played or even seen before. “My hope here is that we are able to introduce some sports that maybe kids don’t see on TV very often, and they want to try it,” said Davis High Athletic Director Jeff Lorenson. “We offer about 27 different programs, which is very unique for high school, anywhere from ski and snowboard to field hockey, and some of those programs that don’t get a lot of media attention.” Davis High girls field hockey head coach Elizabeth Hogan
managed the field hockey station where attendees were given a stick and taught how to control the ball. “We just want to promote the sport and introduce it to younger kids, and also facilitate them getting into the sport earlier because it helps when they get to high school if they started sooner,” said Hogan. Also working the stations were student-athletes. That included sophomore Houston McCray, who was one of several players representing the baseball team. “We’re just trying to show kids that in baseball, you just gotta have fun,” McCray said. “I’ve met some of my closest friends that I’ll always remember, and I’ve made some great memories.” The fact that athletics can be both fun and competitive is a message Davis coaches and players wanted to convey to those who stopped by their booths. Blue Devils softball head coach Tyler Gibson was one of the biggest promoters of this idea, hoping it would help solve a growing issue in high school sports: the nationwide decline in athletic participation. Even at a school like Davis High, which reported an enrollment of 1,783 students for the 2020-2021 school year, there’s been a drop in

Baked-in problems with California’s rent relief program need fixing By Paula Nazario Special to CalMatters California’s rent relief program was one of the few measures offered to help make sure families didn’t lose their housing. Yet our state leaders allowed the program to end without offering any other solution to stem evictions. California must invest some of its budget surplus in reopening the program and ensuring that communities of color have the support needed to apply successfully. I know what a lifeline this program can be. My working-class family was one of those who applied for and received aid. When the district I worked for announced its plan to close schools in May 2020, my family wasn’t sure how we were going to pay bills and rent. I scrambled to find other employment. As COVID-19 infection rates continued to rise, however, my sister and I knew our parents could not continue to work. They were at a higher risk of getting COVID-19 because they worked in confined spaces and had pre-existing health conditions. Despite all our efforts to find new jobs and keep up with our bills, it was clear in July 2020 that we needed help. We applied for the City of Los Angeles Emergency Renters Assistance Program, which was funded with state and federal dollars. After waiting three months, we were lucky enough to receive a one-time payment. The process, however, was incredibly difficult. It required our landlord’s willingness to participate, and for my sister and me to have a deep understanding of the criteria for eligibility. My family’s story isn’t uncommon, but our ability to access the relief is. A recent report from the Latino Policy and Politics Initiative at the University of California, Los Angeles, found that nearly 53% of California’s distressed tenants never applied for rental relief — more than in other states — and only 16% received aid. Then, in March 2022, state lawmakers allowed the program to close, leaving many families at risk of eviction. In recognition of the problem, the governor in May proposed using $2.7 billion of California’s staggering $97.5 billion budget surplus to increase funding for the Emergency Rental Assistance Program — but only to pay those who had applied before the deadline. The decision to end the program has prompted tenant groups in Los Angeles County to sue. The suit claims that the state unlawfully cut off applicants who were awaiting funds. It asks that the state make the full 18 months of rent assistance promised available to those eligible. My family and other tenants faced many barriers, but understanding the eligibility requirements was our biggest. We were not sure if we qualified as Los Angeles residents. We struggled to figure out if funds were only for individuals behind on rent or for low-income folks struggling but still current on their rent. We didn’t know how to provide proof of pandemic-caused financial hardship. Further, our family members felt ashamed applying for rent relief. Other tenants told researchers they found the online application too difficult to access and navigate. That might explain why only 39% of distressed Latino renters received rental debt relief. While the Legislature passed and the governor signed into law Assembly Bill 2179, which extends eviction protections until June 30, it isn’t enough. State leaders must reopen the Emergency Rental Assistance Program and ensure outreach to families of color. Between July 2021 and January 2022, about 14% of California renters fell behind on their rent, and 15% feared eviction. Of those, the least likely to receive rent relief were Asians and Latinos, likely as the result of language barriers and lack of culturally competent support. The governor’s proposal further exacerbates those equity challenges. — Paula Nazario is a policy fellow at UCLA’s Latino Policy and Politics Initiative and a researcher on the initiative’s report on California’s Emergency Rental Assistance Program.
Newsom budget recognizes one housing reality
I
t’s anyone’s guess whether the developer campaign donors who greatly influence California’s huge Democratic legislative majorities will follow suit, but Gov. Gavin Newsom’s proposed budget at long last recognizes one reality that has been plain since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic: With hundreds of thousands of white-collar office workers switching permanently to home offices where they are often more productive than before, billions of square feet in office towers and other buildings now sit vacant, earning their owners nothing. Meanwhile, despite a state audit showing its figures are unreliable, the demand of the state Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for more than 1.8 million new housing units by 2030 remains the mantra for so-called “progressive” politicians. And state Attorney General Rob Bonta persists in threatening lawsuits against local governments which don’t knuckle under and approve thousands of new units right away. The trouble is that at the current pace of construction (less than 100,000 new units per year since Newsom took office in late 2018), there is no chance for creating anywhere near that many newly constructed apartments, condominiums and
Letters DHS Band Boosters say thanks After a 2-plus year COVID hiatus, the Davis High School Band Boosters were thrilled to be able to reimagine and relocate their biggest fundraiser of the year, “Coconut Grove.” To ensure the safety of performers and participants, this year’s event was held outdoors under the Farmers Market Overhang in Davis’ Central Park on the evening of 5/14. Following the lead of Band Director, Thomas Slabaugh, the DHS mariachi, concert, symphonic, jazz, and rock bands performed under shade trees while event-goers enjoyed a silent auction, beer/wine/mocktails, food trucks, and offerings from shops and restaurants adjacent to the park. As a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization (tax ID #: 68- 0240002), DHSBB helps fund scholarships, travel expenses, festival fees, sheet music, new instruments, repairs, professional instruction (section coaches), substitute teachers and more.

individual houses. Not even the 2021 passage of densifying measures like SB 9 and SB 10, which all but eliminate single-family zoning, could change that. So Newsom has had to recognize the reality of office vacancies and their inevitable conversion to housing. It’s already happening in some places, with more than 5,000 converted units either created or approved so far in all parts of California. This trend would be accelerated considerably by the proposed Newsom budget, which is better known for its effort to place billions of dollars in the pockets of car owners to help them cope with inflationary gasoline prices created by oil company price gouging. But squirreled away in the more than $300 billion spending plan – which must be approved by June 15 in either its submitted form or a revised version, on pain of financial penalties for legislators – is $600 million to help convert office space to housing, particularly in dense urban areas.

The need for these conversions has been obvious since March 2020, when Newsom ordered lockouts to help slow the spread of Covid. That edict suddenly emptied not only freeways, but also office towers. There has been only a partial return to offices since anti-pandemic measures were largely relaxed. Without conversions, local governments stand to lose many millions of tax dollars annually, as property values and assessments drop in amounts parallel to lost rental revenues. So the real estate investment trusts that own many of those buildings will feel ever more pressure from shareholders as many dividends remain well below pre-pandemic levels. But will legislators respond? They say they’re committed to creating new housing for the benefit of would-be homeowners now priced out of the market, where median single-family home prices statewide top $810,000. But the lawmakers are tied closely to developers, who stand to make far less from conversions than from new construction. They are also beholden to building trade unions, which would get plenty of work from conversions, but still much less than from new developments. Because those interests are

among the top financiers of Democratic legislative campaigns, the Democrats who rule in Sacramento have resisted office conversions. They allowed a 2021 measure that would have made local approval of such conversions automatic die without floor votes. The questions now is whether they will try to knock the $600 million one-time enabling contribution out of Newsom’s budget proposal. If they do, it will prove they are committed far more to their campaign donors than to the prospective homeowners they nominally support. Right now, the fate of this boost to housing supplies remains uncertain regardless of all the evidence that it would help property owners, new buyers and local governments, each an interest to which the Democrats pay lip service. Now is the time for anyone who wants to see housing at all price levels created quickly to speak up and pressure legislators to leave that appropriation alone. But it’s unclear what will happen. — Email Thomas Elias at tdelias@aol.com.

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE
Seek advice in new book ‘How can I forgive my cheating partner?’ Dear Annie: My wife and I have been married for eight years, and we have four beautiful boys together. A little over a year ago, I caught her having an affair with one of her coworkers. The details of the affair broke me. Over the past year, the pain and hurt has turned into resentment and major
Legals@DavisEnterprise.net distrust. I don’t want to live like this, but I don’t want to change things for my boys. I worry that a change of home life would hurt them in the long run. — Still Hurting Dear Hurting: It is totally understandable that you are still hurting from your wife’s betrayal. You suffered a real trauma, and you need to allow yourself time to heal. Once you can heal, then you can decide if you want to stay or not, but staying out of guilt and feeling bad for your sons is not reason enough. You can heal from this and forgive your wife’s mistakes, but the forgiveness will be a gift that you give to yourself and not to anyone else. If you are just muddling through your marriage but are secretly

unhappy, then your sons will sense that, and it will be damaging for them to watch you in that state. The best thing to do is to go to marriage counseling, and maybe therapy yourself as well, so that you can have a better understanding of your marriage. Many couples survive infidelity if that is what you want to do. I wrote a new book called “How Can I Forgive My Cheating Partner?” I wrote this because, over the years, this has been one of the questions asked most often. Now you know that you are not alone and there are many other people out there struggling in similar situations. Best of luck to you as you move forward. ——— Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for a year now. He has told me
that a female friend of his from medical school who I’ve never met has been texting him about her failed relationships. She texts, “I’m so single” and, “Why are boys so dumb?” and he messages her affirming her that one day she will find someone. At first, I felt bad for her. I don’t mind asking the opposite sex for advice once or twice. At least, I didn’t mind it until I found out that this is a nonstop occurrence of her messaging him and telling him about how single she is. I was on his phone looking at our pictures together when she messaged him complaining, so I decided to open the message and saw a text message from her saying, “is it weird if i send you a booty pic to show you my progress at the gym.”

He replied, “yes that’s weird,” and she ignored him and sent him a picture of her butt in tight gym clothes. So, my question is, what should I do? Is this a normal friendship, or should I seriously be worried about this girl? — Starting to Worry Dear Starting to Worry: No, this is not normal behavior, and all signs show that she is after your husband. The good news is that he told you about her and that he finds her behavior to be weird. I would describe it as flat-out seductive. It is time for their friendship to end. Ask
your husband to take a texting break from her. Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@ creators.com.

Local roundup
UCD golfer Hutchinson earns honors Enterprise staff NORMAN, Okla. — UC Davis men's golfer Thomas Hutchison was named to the 2022 PING All-America third team, the Golf Coaches Association of America announced Tuesday. The All-America accolade is a career first for the UC Davis Male Athlete of the Year. Hutchison becomes the first Aggie since Matt Hansen in 2014 to nab All-America honors. With his third-team designation, Hutchison becomes the first UC Davis golfer since Jay Westerlund in 2003 (second) to be named to one of the first three All-America teams. Hutchison, a senior who capped off his recordbreaking UCD career at the NCAA Stockton Regional in May, became the first Aggie since Hansen in 2014 to earn All-West Region accolades. The San Jose native was also the first UCD men's
MEN: Next home game is on June 18 From Page B1 Capitalizing offensively, however, wasn’t just an issue for FC Davis. The Gold (7-1-1) had their lowest scoring performance since their 1-1 tie with Academica SC on April 23. They also scored less than when they last played FC Davis, a 4-2 victory on April 30. With the matchup being dubbed the “Causeway Classico” for the Yolo Causeway, which connects Davis and Sacramento, the Golden Lions have a 1-5-3 all-time record against the Gold. After Saturday’s match,
Sacramento maintained its top spot in the Golden Gate Conference standings while FC Davis is positioned No. 6. The Golden Lions have two more games to improve their conference standing. They go on the road to play Napa Valley 1839 FC (6-2-0) this Saturday before returning home to host the Oakland Stompers (0-7-2) on Saturday, June 18. — Henry Krueger is a rising sophomore at Gonzaga University and an intern for The Enterprise this summer.

SHOWCASE: ‘It’s all about outreach’ From Page B1 the number of students trying out for particular sports. “We are trying to get as many of these young girls to play as possible,” Gibson said. “Our numbers have been a little bit low this year, but it’s all about outreach.” Several Davis coaches noticed an acceleration of this problem after the COVID-19 pandemic. “Take an athlete who thrives in an environment with all their teammates, and you take their teammates away, and that’s difficult,” Hogan said. “We definitely noticed we had less players in our current sophomore and freshman classes due to the pandemic and people’s level of comfort and also a lot of people just not wanting to try new things.” The athletic showcase was more than a way to boost athletic participation at Davis. According to Lorenson, much of the event’s purpose was to highlight how playing sports benefits students. “Study after study shows
athletics have a huge positive impact on studentathletes, youth all the way through adulthood, whether it be social, emotional, health, physical health, learning how to be part of a team, learning commitment,” Lorenson said. The athletic showcase may have been the first of its kind at Davis, but the event was inspired by another event that brought the community together. “We kind of took the idea from the pandemic when we couldn’t have graduation and we had this massive community event for cap and gown distribution,” Lorenson said. Realizing the event’s potential, Lorenson plans to host something like it each year. “It’s pretty cool,” Lorenson said. “This is a good event and I think it’s gonna get bigger and bigger each year.” — Henry Krueger is a rising sophomore at Gonzaga University and an intern for The Enterprise this summer.

golfer to be named Big West Player of the Year twice, also earning top-honors in 2019. Hutchison medaled three times in 12 tournaments played this season, including taking home the Big West Conference Tournament individual title to help lead the Ags to the championship. He was also tabbed to the All-Big West first team for the third time in his career, joining Austin Graham as just the second Aggie in school history to do so. The senior boasted eight top-10s this season, including six in the top-5. The senior fired 18 rounds in the 60s that was topped off by a school-record 62 at the Gene Miranda Falcon Invitational this past fall. Hutchison entered the NCAA Stockton Regional as the 21st-ranked collegiate golfer, according to Golfstat, and finished his college career with a scoring average of 69.69.
Enterprise Sports Team The Enterprise ran its second annual Sports Team in Sunday's edition. Colin Walsh, a senior guard who was the Davis High boys basketball team's co-MVP last winter, was added to the list. Julie Thomas was on DHS girls field hockey team. Colette Quaas joined Blue Devil girls lacrosse teammate Devon Morris in representing their team. The DHS boys ski team of Lucas BreitbardRasmussen and Lukas Voss, along with Blue Devil girls squad of Ariel Bukowski and Athena Leckie, were accidently left off the list.
