Frerichs sworn in as Davis mayor

High Court fallout

Enterprise staff

California’s Air Resources Board, which oversees the state’s efforts to reduce air pollution, told CalMatters the agency agrees that the state’s

Lucas Frerichs, city councilman for District 3, was sworn in Tuesday as the 41st mayor of the Davis during the July 5 Council meeting. Frerichs took the oath, administered by his wife, Stacie Frerichs, after the City Council voted to confirm him on June 28.

“I love our community, and after serving on the City Council for the last 10 years, I’m grateful FRERICHS for the opportunity Takes the gavel to serve the city of Davis as mayor,” Frerichs said. “As mayor, I promise to continue to actively listen, be responsive, keep our community’s best interests at heart and serve our city to the best of my abilities.”

Frerichs has served on the Davis City Council since 2012 and is currently serving his third term.

Experts: California climate rules won’t be undercut by decision

By Nadia Lopez CalMatters The U.S. Supreme Court’s June 30 decision to drastically limit the power of the federal Environmental Protection Agency to regulate planet-warming

emissions upsets environmentalists, but experts say it doesn’t necessarily pose a threat to California’s ability to maintain its own stringent greenhouse gas reduction rules.

The 6-3 vote in the West

Virginia v. EPA decision marks a significant change in how the federal EPA can exercise power to address climate change, making it clear that without approval from Congress, the agency is limited in how it can set national standards.

The bigger question now is how the ruling could affect the control all federal agencies have in imposing regulations and

how states like California — which have historically taken a stronger approach to tackling climate change — could be affected.

Winters teen missing after rural crash UC Davis moves COVID test site to new location

By Rick von Geldern

McNaughton Newspapers

An investigation is underway regarding a single-vehicle crash that hospitalized one Winters graduate with non-lifethreatening injuries and left a second Winters teen missing.

Shortly after midnight on Sunday morning, sheriff deputies responded to a call of a crash near the east end of Lake Solano County Park and Putah Creek Road, west of Canal Lane.

Upon arrival observed a red truck submerged in Putah Creek. They found an injured young man about 70 yards downstream from the entry point clutching the steep creek bank who

After nearly two years, UC Davis closed its COVID-19 test site at the campus’ Activities and Recreation Center (ARC) last week. On Tuesday, the campus opened a new test site at the Human Resources Administration Building, which is near the ARC on the other side of La Rue Road.

The moves coincided with the end of UC Davis’ biweekly COVID-19 testing mandate, which expired June 24, and with the closure of the Healthy

Davis Together program, which provided free asymptomatic COVID-19 testing to community members at the campus test site and several other sites in Yolo County.

Going forward, the test site at the Human Resources Administration Building will be open to UC Davis students and employees through the end of the 2022 calendar year.

Hours for the new site are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Sunday through Thursday. Appointments

Briefly Alleged groper caught dowtown Police say an alert witness helped officers nab a sexual battery suspect Monday in downtown Davis.

A 22-year-old woman reported being groped by the suspect shortly after 1 p.m. at Philz Coffee at Second and E streets, Lt. James MacNiven said.

Employees there confronted the man, who left before officers arrived on scene.

But he didn’t go far, and about a block away when a Philz employee spotted him around 8:45 p.m. and flagged down an officer, who took 25-year-old Kwontell Summerfield of Carmichael into custody, MacNiven said.

GPS reveals stolen truck Three Woodland residents who allegedly stole a truck last week got no help from the vehicle’s tracking system.

Woodland police Lt. Tom Davis reported Tuesday that the alleged thieves broke into Barnard Pipeline at about 5:40 a.m.

Thursday and drove the 2020 Dodge Ram through a fence.

From there, they headed toward Placer County, where the truck’s GPS system gave away their whereabouts, Davis said. Sheriff ’s officials stopped the Dodge off Interstate 80.

Ashley Salmon, 30, Matthew Kuehneu, 34, and James Thompson, 38, all were booked into the Yolo County Jail.

They know what they’re doing, right?

T

he quarter-page ad in a nearby major metropolitan newspaper had my name all over it.

“Men Needed for a Research Study, University of California, Davis,” said the headline over the ad sponsored by the UC Davis Department of Nutrition.

Why men are needed but no others is not explained, but maybe if I sign up, they’ll let me in on the secret.

“We are looking for interested participants to volunteer to participate,” it begins.

I would hope these participants are interested, otherwise they probably won’t volunteer in the first place.

I realize this study is about nutrition, not grammar, but let’s rewrite that whole sentence to say, “We are looking for volunteers to participate.”

There, I feel better already.

Every now and then I’ll read the results of some random study and wonder how people were selected to participate. You know, like, “98 percent of men in the study regrew all their hair.” Nobody asked me to join, even though I’d

what strawberry powder is. Maybe it’s something that kids stir into their milk at lunchtime to make it taste like strawberries, just like brown powder makes milk taste like chocolate, but maybe it’s something else entirely.

pretty much volunteer for any medical study that does not involve a colonoscopy.

But back to the ad. This may be my chance to actually be part of a study instead of just reading about it.

“We are looking for interested participants to volunteer to participate in a 16-week research study that will examine the effects of daily strawberry powder intake on markers of cardiovascular health.”

That is a mouthful, to say the least, even if I’ve never actually been exposed to strawberry powder or have any idea how one might go about getting it into his system. And it’s OK to use the pronoun “his” here because this study is apparently exclusively for men, just like the Founding Fathers intended.

Truth be told, I have no idea

T

here are, not surprisingly, some conditions to participating in this study. Seven conditions, actually, and it’s not multiple choice. You have to meet all seven.

First, you must be “60-80 years of age.”

Let me find my birth certificate.

At my age I sometimes forget my age.

“Be willing to come in for 6 study visits, lasting about 1-2 hours each.”

Do I have to study for 1-2 hours or will other people be studying me for 1-2 hours?

“Be willing to provide blood and urine samples.”

OK, but I find those two activities very draining.

“Be willing to have your blood pressure taken.”

Repeat 10 times after me: “I am not afraid of a sphygmomanometer. I am not afraid of a

sphygmomanometer.”

“Willing to stop all supplement use prior to and throughout the study period.”

Is Tillamook Mudslide considered a supplement?

“You must be overweight or obese.”

The bathroom scale doesn’t lie.

“You must be in good health.”

Now wait a minute. If I’m 80 years old and obese, isn’t that the very definition of not being in good health, no matter how much strawberry supplement I add to my milk?

“You will receive up to $365 for completion of all study visits.”

With three kids in college and a fourth on the way, I can use the cash, but what does “up to $365” mean? The “up to” part is concerning. Do I need to bring a lawyer when I agree to participate?

Here’s an idea. Paul McCartney just turned 80, so maybe you can get him to volunteer if you’re willing to name the study, “Strawberry Powder Forever.”

Paul can probably use the cash, too.

Stories on Stage presents two novels with themes of family, mystery, and love

UCD helps develop better way to detect typhoid

Special to The Enterprise

Special to The Enterprise

On Saturday, July 9, Stories on Stage Davis will present the second event of its ninth season at the Pence Art Gallery. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the event starts at 7:30 p.m.

This night’s readings will feature two excerpts from novels about unexpected ways families can form.

An excerpt from the novel “A Prayer for Travelers,” by Ruchika Tomar, will be read by Beatriz Figueroa.

In this excerpt, a young girl recounts how she came to live with her grandfather, Lamb. It starts with a disappearing mother, which sets the stage for this literary mystery to unfold.

Tomar is a writer from California’s Inland Empire region. She holds a bachelor’s degree in English literature from UC Irvine and an MFA from Columbia University. She has received fellowships from The Center for Fiction, The MacDowell Colony, Vermont Studio Center and Stanford University, where she was a Stegner Fellow and Jones Lecturer. Her first novel, “A Prayer for Travelers,” won the 2020 Pen/Hemingway Award for debut novel.

Figueroa is a proud Mexican American singer based in Sacramento.

Through the years, she has enjoyed strengthening her musicianship through theater and dance by learning

and collaborating with Teatro Nagual, IMBA, Davis Shakespeare Festival, Vacancy Arts Collective, and Thrive Movement Arts. Beatriz is very excited to read for Stories on Stage Davis for the first time and hopes to do more readings in the future. Beatriz studied Music and Sociology at Sacramento State University where she advanced her musicality and strengthened her passion for social justice. When off stage, Beatriz enjoys teaching and spending time with her husband and her dog, Quijote.

An excerpt from the novel “Cormorant Lake” by Faith Merino will be read

by Sarah Elizabeth. This is a story that asks from the outset about what it means to be a mother. When Evelyn whisks away her neglectful roommate’s two young daughters to Evelyn’s hometown of Cormorant Lake, she must face her choices as well as the women who raised her, including Nan. Nan tells the other half of this haunting story, and this excerpt, which crackles under the surface with both mystery and love.

Merino is a Stegner Fellow at Stanford University and a graduate of the UC Davis Creative Writing Program with an MFA in fiction. She's been supported by fellowships and scholarships to Writing By

Writers, The Martha's Vineyard Institute of Creative Writing, and The Disquiet International Literary Program. Her short stories have appeared or are forthcoming in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, The Indiana Review, Harpur Palate, The Carolina Quarterly, and more, in addition to inclusion as a distinguished story in The Best American Short Stories. She lives in Sacramento with her husband, sons, and animal friends.

Elizabeth is excited to be joining Stories on Stage Davis again. She is a Bay Area actress and has worked with the Davis Shakespeare Festival, Bike City Theatre Company, the San Francisco Shakespeare Festival, Ross Valley Players, and others. She has recently been training with Voice One in San Francisco and is excited to be exploring the world of voiceover acting. You can catch some of her VO work with Bike City Theatre Company and their Radio Tuesday series.

Stories on Stage Davis is a sponsored project of YoloArts, a nonprofit arts organization. The event is free to attend, and Stories on Stage appreciates donations at the door. For more information, including previous podcast episodes and live events, go to the Stories on Stage Davis website: storiesonstagedavis.com.

UCD police to offer self-defense classes

By Caleb Hampton Enterprise staff writer The UC Davis Police Department will begin offering self-defense classes this summer, UC Davis’ news service announced last week. The classes are geared towards women but are open to all students, faculty and staff.

“The class is intended to build physical skills, muscle memory and self-confidence,” the campus news article said. Class sizes will be small, limited to about 10 students and taught by three instructors. No previous self-defense or martial arts experience is required.

Classes will take place over two full days on consecutive Saturday. The precise dates will be determined based on demand, according to Corporal

Mikio McCulloch, who is organizing the class and will be one of the instructors.

Prior to the pandemic, the self-defense class was briefly offered and has been held with campus groups such as sororities.

“The class is based on the Model Mugging program established in 1971, which emphasizes personal safety, realistic techniques and overcoming fears of assault,” the campus news article said. UC Davis instructors, McCulloch and police officers Jenny Choc and Tabbasum Malik, were

trained and certified by the national program.

“People who have taken this training have said it has changed their lives, by building confidence and helping survivors with recovery,” McCulloch said.

The UC Davis Police Department is subsidizing the cost of the class for participants. It typically would cost more than $500.

There may be a nominal fee for registration.

SACRAMENTO — An international team of researchers found a new technique for detecting typhoidal Salmonella infections that can significantly help vaccination planning in countries where typhoid is prevalent. The new approach detects typhoid antibodies in dried blood spots. It is faster and more accurate than blood cultures and simplifies disease detection in remote areas.

The collaborative study includes authors from Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, Ghana, Canada, South Korea, England and Germany. It was published in The Lancet Microbe.

“Typhoid is difficult to diagnose, and we know the burden is much higher than what we find through routine hospital surveillance,” said Kristen Aiemjoy, first author of the study. Aiemjoy is an assistant professor in the Division of Epidemiology, Department of Public Health Sciences at UC Davis.

“You can't diagnose it on symptoms. The only available test is expensive, slow, not very widely available and has only around 60% sensitivity.”

The World Health Organization estimates that 11 to 20 million people get sick from typhoid, and between 128,000 and 161,000 people die from it every year. The lifethreatening infection is caused by the bacterium Salmonella Typhi and is usually spread through contaminated food or water. It is most common in parts of the world with poor sanitation.

The WHO recommends typhoid vaccines to control endemic and epidemic typhoid fever.

Many countries lack the infrastructure to conduct comprehensive typhoid testing, particularly in rural areas. As a result, the incidence in Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan and other countries may be significantly undercounted, making it difficult to develop

effective strategies.

vaccination

Blood samples reveal infections The team developed a tool that relies on antibody responses from dried capillary blood samples. The blood is collected using a finger prick, similar to the small amount used for a blood glucose monitor. This assay is easy to perform, can be readily accomplished in remote, rural areas and is far more accurate than blood cultures.

To develop this technology, the team collected blood spots from 1,420 people with confirmed typhoid infections in Bangladesh, Ghana, Nepal and Pakistan. They tested the samples for antibody responses against two antigens: Hemolysin E (Hlye) and Salmonella lipopolysaccharide (LPS).

The researchers showed the antibody responses to both HlyE and LPS persisted for months after infection, making these antibodies excellent biomarkers to measure typhoid incidence.

While the study is limited to typhoid, the authors believe this approach could be applied to other infectious diseases, revolutionizing how nations conduct epidemiological surveillance.

“This is a big jump for typhoid surveillance, but it's also a big methodological jump in seroepidemiology,” said Aiemjoy.

“We are now planning on applying this to other infectious diseases like scrub typhus and melioidosis.”

Funding for this research was provided by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

UCD Medical School earns full accreditation Special to The Enterprise SACRAMENTO — UC Davis School of Medicine has been granted full accreditation for eight years by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, the accrediting authority for medical education programs leading to the M.D. degree in the United States and Canada.

“Receiving this important accreditation, for the longest period of time possible, is a testament to the strength of our education programs and the incredible work of our faculty, staff, students, and trainees,” said Mary S. Croughan, UC Davis provost and executive vice chancellor. “The School of Medicine’s unwavering commitment to achieving exceptional results in all areas of our mission — while providing the highest quality medical care to our community — is unequaled.”

Accreditation is a peer-reviewed quality assurance process that determines whether the medical education program meets 12 LCME standards incorporating 93

elements. The LCME can provide accreditation for up to eight years.

The School of Medicine’s last accreditation review took place in 2014, from which it also received a full eight-year accreditation. The LCME can also decide only to accredit a school provisionally, or for shorter periods of time, based upon the number and type of concerns identified by its review.

“This recognition is the result of a dedicated effort across our entire organization, and it’s worthy of celebration,” said David Lubarsky, CEO of UC Davis Health and vice chancellor for Human Health Sciences. “This is not easily earned, and it requires considerable and time-consuming preparations, not only to complete this accreditation, but to make sure everyone at the school is doing everything we can for the students. This truly was a collaborative effort.”

The virtual site visit was from Feb. 28 to March 2. The LCME team met with more than 150 School of Medicine faculty, staff, students and hospital leaders. The accreditation process is designed to

enhance the quality of medical education by identifying areas for improvement.

“I want to thank everyone involved in our successful LCME re-accreditation,” said Susan Murin, the medical school’s interim dean. “Our success is the result of years of meticulous preparations and extraordinary work by the Office of Medical Education and all who served on committees, assisted with preparations and participated in survey visits. This achievement is an affirmation of our school’s commitment to excellence, continuous quality improvement, and listening to – and addressing – the needs of our students.”

At the School of Medicine, preparation for the LCME accreditation process was led by an Institutional Self-Study Task Force and selfstudy sub-committees. These involved faculty, staff, students, residents, leaders and affiliate partners, who generated hundreds of pages of data and analysis demonstrating compliance with LCME standards. The effort also included

Bretton Woods is designed for seniors who wish to downsize from their single-family homes in Davis and age in place, but not in a traditional retirement community.

Groundbreaking scheduled for Bretton Woods development

By Anne Ternus-Bellamy Enterprise staff writer Groundbreaking is scheduled for July 26 on the Bretton Woods senior housing development in West Davis.

Originally called the West Davis Active Adult Community, the project was approved by voters in November 2018.

Located on 74 acres of land north of Covell Boulevard and just west of Sutter Davis Hospital, Bretton Woods at build-out will feature 560 dwelling units with 80 percent of all units reserved for buyers and renters ages 55 and over and 90 percent for individuals connected to Davis.

Single-story residences will range in size from 1,195 square-foot cottages to 1,862 square-foot homes.

Also available will be 150 affordable senior apartments.

Other elements of the project include 2½ miles of walking paths, parks, a health club and more.

Davis residents approved the project on a 55.7 percent to 44.3 percent vote in 2018, making it the second housing proposal approved under the “Citizens’ Right to Vote on Future Use of Open Space and Agricultural Land,” an ordinance passed by voters in 2000.

The ordinance requires that any project that changes the land use

designation of property from agricultural or open space to urban uses be approved by voters.

Since the ordinance was first passed, seven proposals have gone before voters with just two being approved.

In addition to Bretton Woods, voters approved Nishi 2.0 in June 2018, a student-housing project adjacent to campus that has yet to break ground.

The groundbreaking for Bretton Woods is scheduled for Tuesday, July 26.

Defensible-space bill clears hurdle Special to The Enterprise SACRAMENTO — With dozens of uncontained wildfires burning across California and the West, legislation advanced last month from Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, to encourage creation of defensible space, protecting life and property from infernos fanned by drought and climate change.

“Once again wildfires are threatening California communities, and we must take steps to protect ourselves,” Sen. Dodd said.

“Clearing combustible fuels around our homes minimizes potential damage and the chances for fire to spread. Measuring how well we are doing that is the focus of this bill. It will help us decide on potential lifesaving investments to keep our families safe.”

In a report last fall, the state Legislative Analyst’s Office cited the creation of defensible space around homes and other structures as among the most valuable

steps that can be taken to reduce the destructiveness of wildfires. Under existing law, homeowners in certain areas are required to create these fire-safe spaces. However, because of a number of factors, compliance and inspections are inconsistent from region to region, the LAO found.

Senate Bill 896 responds to the agency’s recommendations for increasing compliance and reducing future losses. It includes provisions to gather more information on defensible space inspections through improved data collection and to take initial steps to address other barriers to state and local defensible space efforts.

It also supports additional research to identify effective strategies to improve defensible space compliance and to conduct oversight activities to learn from and inform future policy decisions.

Defensible space has been a high priority

wildfire protection issue for Sen. Dodd for several years, beginning in 2019 with his authorship of SB 190 which directed the state fire marshal to develop model defensive space standards that local governments could voluntarily use as part of their zoning codes.

SB 896 passed the Assembly Natural Resources today with overwhelming support.

Dodd represents the 3rd Senate District, which includes all or portions of Napa, Solano, Yolo, Sonoma, Contra Costa and Sacramento counties.

A traffic collision triggered a parking-lot altercation last week, ending in one man’s arrest on assault and other charges, Davis police said.

Romie Marquis Mims, 19, was taken into custody at his South Davis home following Thursday’s incident, which left a 72-yearold man with a head injury and vandalized car, Lt. James MacNiven said Tuesday.

MacNiven said Mims followed the victim to the Nugget parking lot on Mace Boulevard after their cars apparently collided on nearby Chiles

Road around 3:30 p.m.

An argument ensued, and the victim reported being struck on the head with an unknown object as he attempted to walk away.

Mims allegedly threw an air purifier at the victim’s vehicle, smashing the rear window, and drove away, but not before a witness took a photo of his license plate and gave it to police.

Officers tracked down Mims at his residence and took him to the Yolo County Jail, where he was booked on charges of assault with a deadly weapon, criminal threats, elder abuse and vandalism, MacNiven said.

4H Club announces its scholarship awards for 2022 Special to The Enterprise Scholarship awards were recently announced for Yolo County 4-H-ers.

The Yolo County PostSecondary Scholarship Program made awards to Charlie Pollock and Maddux Madayag, both from the Golden Valley 4-H club. The MaryAnn Wegener Memorial 4-H Scholarship was awarded to Tyce Wilkerson of West Plainfield 4-H club, and the Adreon Johnston Memorial Scholarship was awarded to Mia Mayberry of the Clarksburg 4-H club.

MAYOR: Frerichs’ term to be short From Page A1 throughout Davis and Yolo County.

Frerichs’s term as mayor will run through the end of 2023, but given his election to the Yolo County Board of Supervisors, he will be departing the council at the end of 2022, leaving his colleagues to name a replacement mayor who will serve out the rest of the term.

The council will also have to either call an election for his replacement on the council or appoint a successor, something they will discuss at their July 19 meeting.

Following the swearingin of the mayor, Councilman Will Arnold was sworn in as vice mayor by his wife, Nichole. Arnold has served on the Davis City Council since 2016, and he is currently serving his second term.

“I’m honored to take on this role and continue the great work of my predecessors on behalf of our

MISSING: Visited earlier crash site From Page A1 searched the creek’s shore, and upon reaching the truck later in efforts, found it unoccupied.

The missing man has been identified as 18-yearold Eduardo “Lalo” Fierros, a 2022 graduate of Winters High School.

Solano County Sheriff ’s Office Search and Rescue personnel with assistance from the Yolo County Sheriff ’s Office and the Sacramento County Sheriff ’s Office were dispatched Sunday morning to search for Fierros. At 8:25 p.m., the search was paused until Monday morning when search teams returned with jet skis and sonar. The search continued into the early afternoon without locating Fierros.

Friends, family and volunteers arrived on site Monday to stand vigil and help search the creek with kayaks and paddleboards, but by the end of the day Fierros had not been located.

According to a family member — who wished to remain anonymous — at

the scene on Monday, Fierros had attended a quinceañera Saturday evening at the Winters Community Center. After the celebration, Fierros departed with his friend to visit the site of the June 3 fatal ATV crash that claimed the lives of two WHS students.

The family member said Fierros shared a cellphone app with friends connecting in real time their locations, arrival and departure times, and travel routes.

The app, he said, indicated the young men first traveled to the ATV crash site at the intersection of Holmes and Margaret Lane.

Thereafter, the vehicle was said to have traveled westbound on Putah Creek Road toward Pleasants Valley Road. The app indicated that prior to reaching Pleasants Valley Road the truck turned around and was returning toward Winters.

As the truck traveled eastbound on Putah Creek Road it left the roadway, clipped a tree and plunged into the creek.

Search goes on Members of the Solano County Sheriff ’s Office returned Tuesday morning to continue the search.

Deputy R. Hawkins said the Solano County Office of Emergency Services was searching the area with dogs. “I can only imagine the loss and questions,” he said.

Hawkins thanked their regional partners from the Yolo and Sacramento County Sheriff ’s Departments., CHP and fire districts for their assistance.

Little information has been released about the other 18-year-old occupant of the truck, who has only been identified as “Julio.” The CHP is the lead agency handling the crash investigation. A call to the CHP’s Fairfield office for details was not immediately returned.

Hawkins said the search is continuing and that if Fierros is not located by the weekend there will be a large search. Although the effort is still classified as a “search and rescue” effort, “it is transitioning into a ‘search and recovery,” he said.

CLIMATE: California can still set its own rules From Page A1 policies and regulatory agencies now play an even more critical role in the fight against climate change.

Several experts say the ruling would not cripple the state’s efforts. Still, California’s efforts alone can’t solve a global problem, said attorney Sean Donahue, whose firm Donahue, Goldberg & Littleton wrote a brief in the case.

“California has its own state laws that are regulating carbon dioxide emissions so in that respect, it matters less to California directly,” Donahue said. “However, we’re all affected by climate change. California is doing a lot to try to reduce its own emissions, but we won’t have a safe climate unless everybody pitches in and the federal government’s efforts are really important there.”

The state’s authority to independently set stronger tailpipe emissions standards than those of the federal government was granted half a century ago, when Congress passed the Clean Air Act in 1970.

The law included special conditions for California to help the state address its severe smog.

Some experts worry that the ruling could lead federal agencies to take a more cautious and less effective approach to addressing

“The opinion takes away one of the EPA’s tools to address climate change going forward,” said UCLA law professor Blake Emerson.

“But the broader significance is that it’s going to provide a precedent for both the Supreme Court itself and the lower courts to strike down federal regulations, both with regards to the environment and with regards to market

regulation and public health and safety if those courts think that the agency has taken a really major policy position.”

Cara Horowitz, co-executive director of the Emmett Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at UCLA School of Law, agreed, adding that “regulations that affect significant swaths of the economy that are not explicitly authorized by Congress with very specific and clear statutory

language, are especially vulnerable.”

Several state leaders maintained that California would continue to lead the nation in setting its own rules to reduce emissions, affirming that the ruling would not impede the state’s efforts to combat climate change.

“Today’s ruling makes it even more imperative that California and other states succeed in our efforts to combat the climate crisis,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement. “California will remain the tentpole for this movement with record investments and aggressive policies to reduce pollution, to protect people from extreme weather, and to leave our children and grandchildren a world that’s better off than we found it.”

Attorney General Rob Bonta called the Supreme Court’s decision “misguided and gravely disappointing.”

“We are running out of time in the fight against climate change, and we need all levels of government working together to take action before it’s too late,” he said in a statement. “In California, we have strong programs in place to address climate change, and we will not go backwards. With the future of our planet at stake, our commitment to tackling the climate crisis cannot waver.”

Do plants have personalities?

By Kathy Keatley Garvey Special to The Enterprise Do plants have personalities?

Yes, if you use the term “personality” to refer to “intraspecific expression of behaviors that are stable over time and consistent across different situations,” says ecologist Richard “Rick” Karban, an international authority on plant communications and a distinguished professor in the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology.

“Individual plants respond differently to alarm calls, just as individual animals do,” says Karban, a 40-year member of the UC Davis faculty who has studied plant communication in sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) since 1995 on his research site, located east of the Sierra Nevada mountain range.

In a newly published paper in the international peer-reviewed journal, Oecoogia, the UC Davis professor and two colleagues found that when plants tell their neighbors — via volatile cues — that they are under attack by herbivores, the plants showed consistent individual variation in how they perceived and responded to the cues, that is, how effectively they shored up their defenses.

“The gist of the argument here is that animal behaviorists have found it useful to recognize that individual animals show behavioral tendencies that are consistent under different circumstances and repeatable over time,” Karban explained. “So, for instance, some individuals are bolder or shier in terms of issuing or responding to alarm calls. They have termed these individual tendencies ‘personalities.’ We have found similar consistent individual differences among sagebrush plants.”

Rick Karban, an international authority on plant communication, takes nots at his research site.

The paper, titled “Consistent Individual Variation in Plant Communication: Do Plants Have Personalities?” is co-authored by Patrick Grof-Tisza of the University of Eastern Finland and Charline Couchoux of the University of Quebec.

Established in 1968, Oecoogia is one of the most cited ecology journals.

“Just as animal biologists have come to consider consistent individual personalities to be an important factor in shaping animal phenotypes, behaviors, and interactions, so, too, should plant biologists include individual variation in plant communication as a significant individual attribute that influences their evolution and ecology,” they noted.

In their abstract, they explained that “When animals sense danger, some individuals will alert neighbors with alarm calls and both calling and responding vary consistently among individuals.

Plants, including sagebrush, emit volatile cues when they are attacked by herbivores and neighbors perceive these cues and reduce their own damage.”

The researchers “experimentally transferred volatiles between pairs of sagebrush plants to evaluate whether individuals showed consistent variation in their effectiveness as emitters and as receivers of cues, measured in terms of reduced herbivore damage.” They found that 64 percent of the variance in chewing damage to branches over the growing season “was attributable to the identity of the individual receiving the cues.

This variation could have been caused by inherent differences in the plants as well as by differences in the environments where they grew and their histories.”

They found that 5 percent of the variance in chewing damage “was attributable to the identity of the emitter that provided the cue. This

fraction of variation was statistically significant and could not be attributed to the environmental conditions of the receiver. Effective receivers were also relatively effective emitters, indicating consistency across different situations.

Pairs of receivers and emitters that were effective communicators in 2018 were again relatively effective in 2019, indicating consistency over time. These results suggest that plants have repeatable individual personalities with respect to alarm calls.”

In their paper, the scientists pointed out that the goal “in discussing plant personalities is not to insinuate that plants are people or are intelligent in a similar way that we are, but to highlight that animal behavior has much to offer the development of plant biology.

Recognizing that plants exhibit consistent behaviors that are repeatable in different situations and stable over time (i.e., personalities) has several important consequences.”

First, they said most plant biologists focus on treatment groups instead of individuals. “The idea that individual plants may show consistent tendencies that can be quantified, independent of other treatments, leads to a different research focus. In addition, the existence of plant personalities means that knowledge of an individual’s past provides information that can predict its behavior in the future. In Bayesian jargon, the existence of personalities means that informed priors can be used to improve predictive power.”

Second, they wrote, “recognition of correlations among different plant behaviors suggests that there may be tradeoffs among important traits that are not independent of one another. For example, a negative correlation between growth of

UCD: Global food supply issues demand solutions Disruption to wheat trade could affect security Karen Nikos-Rose Special to The Enterprise Global supply issues related to the pandemic and war in Ukraine have highlighted yet another global vulnerability — food availability.

While international trade allows countries to buffer against domestic food shortfalls and gain access to larger markets, what happens when supplies run short, or the global supply chain slows or even breaks down like it did during the pandemic?

A new UC Davis study asheds light on how trade, and centrality in the global wheat trade network, affect food security. The study shows that many countries depend on trade to fulfill their food needs. Further, the global wheat trade is concentrated in a handful of countries whereby disruption in only a few countries would have global impacts, researchers suggest.

The study, “Connected and Extracted: Understanding how centrality in the global wheat supply chain affects global hunger using a network approach,” was published in June in the journal PLOS ONE. The study’s authors include Subhashni Raj, assistant professor, Department of Urban and Regional Planning, University of Hawaii-Manoa, who was a UC Davis postdoctoral scholar when the study was written; Catherine Brinkley, associate professor, Department of Human Ecology, UC Davis; and John Ulimwengu, senior research fellow, International Food Policy

Research Institute.

The current shortage of baby formula and concern over global grain supplies are now at the forefront of global trade concerns.

“Food grains — wheat, maize and rice — account for over 50% of human caloric consumption and underpin global food security. With conflict between Russia and the breadbasket of Ukraine, global fear about food shortages is sounding alarms,” said Brinkley, co-author of the study.

“War in Ukraine, for example, combined with supply chain issues, have contributed to price increases in cereal grains and food prices globally, but especially in the Global South where countries rely on cereal imports,” Raj added. This area encompasses Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, Pacific Islands, and the developing countries in Asia, including the Middle East.

Having more land doesn’t mean more food Furthermore, researchers found that having more agricultural land does not necessarily translate to higher levels of national nourishment.

“One might expect that having lots of farmland would help buffer against hunger,” Brinkley said. “Yet, agriculturally rich areas of the world are often literal battlegrounds for control over resources.”

The food resources are often plugged into the vast globalized food chain with little to no positive impact on communities where the chain started, researchers said, undercutting

the food security of their own people to leverage the country’s advantage in the international food economy.

Countries in the Global North with low production capacities control a significant share of that supply chain given their purchasing power and location adjacent to important wheat trade hubs. “Historical patterns of wealth accumulation through colonization and the slave trade are also visible when you look at the global wheat trade. Many European countries with limited agricultural lands find themselves highly central to the global wheat supply chain, reflecting trade agreements and trade patterns that emanated from their colonial past,” Raj said.

Researchers used international wheat trade data to reconstruct the global trade network and identify the most influential countries. They found that countries most central to the global grain trade account for more than half of all wheat exports globally by volume: Germany, Italy, France, Turkey, Russia the United States and Canada.

This makes the global wheat value chain vulnerable, as a shock to one of these countries is likely to propagate across the globe.

“That is the curse of operating within a food system where components, big or small, are all connected,” Brinkley said.

To correct the unbalanced structure of the trade network, researchers called in their study for more emphasis on regional and localized food systems, because well-functioning local food systems more effectively counter shortfalls and perturbations in the larger globalized food system.

roots and shoots suggests an allocation tradeoff between above and below ground tissues while a positive correlation between growth of roots and shoots suggests that differential access to resources is more important than such an allocation tradeoff. Life-history tradeoffs of this nature are familiar to evolutionary plant biologists and this framework can be applied to other plant behaviors.”

Third, they wrote, “alarm calls that affect herbivory influence plant growth, survival, and reproduction in the few systems where they have been studied. These demographic effects have the potential to shape plant adaptations, population sizes and distributions, ability to respond to natural and human induced changes, and interactions with other species, although potential effects of variation in plant communication have been largely neglected.”

The trio pointed out that “many of these volatile chemicals dissipate rapidly so that they are present in biologically active concentrations over relatively short distances (often less than 1 m). In many instances, cues may be emitted unintentionally, and this process is probably best described as eavesdropping by the receiving plant. These same plant volatile cues have been found to serve other functions in some instances such as repelling herbivores and attracting the predators and parasites of the herbivores.”

Karban is the author of the landmark book, “Plant Sensing and Communication.” He is a fellow of the Ecological Society of America (ESA) and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the recipient of the 1990 George Mercer Award from ESA for outstanding research.

Legislature approves Dodd’s big-game bill Special to The Enterprise SACRAMENTO — State Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, announced today the Legislature has approved his proposal to help ensure the conservation of biggame habitats in California through public-private partnerships with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.

“Maintaining sustainable hunting lands in California requires considerable collaboration and resources,” said Dodd, who co-chairs the Legislature’s Outdoor Sporting Caucus. “Many in the outdoor sporting community are the most conservation-minded because they want to leave future generations the same opportunities they’ve had. My bill will help ensure the continued conservation of these wild habitats.”

In 2010, the Legislature established the Big Game Management Account, funded by hunting license fees, to pay for research and habitat restoration to benefit big-game spe-

cies. Senate Bill 370 clarifies the law to allow public and private entities, including nonprofit organizations and federally recognized tribes, to continue their valuable habitat work.

Doing so is critical to achieving program objectives including contracting for aerial surveys and captures of wild sheep, as well as important research at institutions like UC Davis and Humboldt State University.

SB 370 is sponsored by the California Deer Association and the California chapter of the Wild Sheep Foundation and is supported by more than a dozen outdoor sporting organizations. It was approved this week with overwhelming support of the Assembly after previously passing out of the Senate.

Dodd represents the 3rd Senate District, which includes all or portions of Napa, Solano, Yolo, Sonoma, Contra Costa, and Sacramento counties.

Davis American All-Stars win District 64 title

By Rebecca Wasnik Enterprise correspondent The Davis Little League American League 8-10-year-old All-Stars are the District 64 Tournament champions.

After six innings of play, Davis defeated the Vacaville American League All-Stars 9-6 on Friday at Davis Little League Complex’s East Field.

“We feel very proud to represent District 64 and to play for Davis,” said Davis AL All-Stars manager Kermit Kruse. “We practice harder than anybody else and put a lot of work in and it paid off.”

Reid Forward and Rhett Kruse each had strong outings on the mound to help Davis secure the victory.

Sam Adams faced the last Vacaville batter of the game and got a strikeout.

“I couldn’t be more proud of them”, said Kermit Kruse. “Reid and Rhett played on the same team in the spring.

They’ve been through a lot together and trust each other. Sam closed it. He is an incredible player and I’m so happy he got to close it out.”

Forward started the game for Davis with a solid three-up-three-down first inning.

In the second frame, Vacaville struck first, scoring two runs for a 2-0 lead.

Despite the runs, Forward recorded three strikeouts for all three outs of the inning.

Davis answered right back in the

bottom of the second inning, scoring four runs of its own for a 4-2 lead.

Singles were aplenty for Davis in the half. Rhett Kruse led off the half inning with a single. Then Logan Wallace followed with another single.

Noah Lingbloom loaded the bases with a single.

Then Milo Zicari singled, allowing Rhett Kruse to cross home.

Forward was then walked, scoring Wallace. Davis now tied Vacaville 2-2.

Charlie Teague followed with another single, bringing home Lingbloom. Davis took the lead 3-2.

Davis’ fourth run of the frame came on a fielder’s choice by Evan Abrams, bringing home Zicari.

Vacaville added another run in the top of the third to cut Davis’ lead to 4-3.

But Davis responded by scoring two runs in the bottom of the third to expand its advantage to 6-3.

Kruse led off with a single, followed by a Wallace single, just as they did in the previous inning. Kruse moved to third base and Wallace moved to second base on a wild pitch.

Adams’ groundout brought home Rhett Kruse and moved Wallace to third.

Luke Herrington smacked a single, which scored Wallace.

Going into the fourth frame, Davis led Vacaville 6-3.

New UC Davis women’s golf head coach Demi Runas, shown here watching her shot during a match for the Aggies in 2011, has built up a history after graduating from the college.

Runas to lead Aggie program Enterprise staff Demi Runas, who is in the Cal Aggie Athletics Hall of Fame, is returning as the UC Davis women’s golf head coach, director of athletics Rocko DeLuca announced Tuesday.

“It is with great excitement we welcome back Demi Runas to UC Davis,” DeLuca said. “As one of our most decorated (alumnae) and a Cal Aggie Athletics Hall of Fame member, she knows what it takes to compete at the highest level, and I am thrilled to work with her as we strive for Big West championships.”

The three-time Big West Golfer of the Year takes over the program after a 10-year professional career, which included becoming the first Aggie to earn her LPGA Tour card.

“My time as a studentathlete at UC Davis has always been special to me and I am looking forward to my journey coming full

circle as the head women’s golf coach,” Runas said.

“As a former member of the team, I have seen firsthand the success this program is capable of, and I am excited for the opportunity to work towards that once again.”

Dumas, who was inducted into the CAAHOF in 2020, helped UCD capture the Big West team championship every year she competed (201013), adding an individual title of her own in 2013.

The Aggies made the NCAA postseason all four years and advanced from the regional to the national finals in her sophomore and senior seasons.

“Demi is a respected professional golfer and an active member in the golf community,” DeLuca added. “Demi has a vast network and knowledge of the game, and we are proud to have her leading

Women blanked in home finale

By Henry Krueger Enterprise correspondent After scoring at least three goals in each of the last four matches, the FC Davis women’s soccer team didn’t waste time trying to continue its impressive scoring output in their final home game against reigning champion Lamorinda United.

Moments after initiating the opening kickoff, FC Davis forward Ariana Coronado sprinted down the field and received a pass on the left wing. Coronado took the shot, but Lamorinda United’s goalkeeper made a diving save, killing the Lionesses’ scoring attack.

While FC Davis had several more scoring opportunities in the match, each one had the same outcome as Lamorinda United posted a 2-0 win at the club lost 2-0 to Lamorinda United at Playfields Park on Friday.

“We created our chances but just couldn’t finish,” said FC Davis assistant coach Pip Harragin, whose team goes to 3-3-3 for the summer season. “Just the way it goes sometimes.”

Struggling to score against Lamorinda United (5-11) is nothing new for the Lionesses, who lost 5-0 when the teams last played on June 4. Though, it doesn’t appear to be an issue unique to FC Davis as Lamorinda United has held all but two of its opponents scoreless this season.

Despite their offensive woes, the Lionesses only conceded two goals to the second-highest scoring club in Pacific North Conference.

Lamorinda United’s first score came in the 15th minute when Indira Naylor received the ball off a corner kick, battled through disorder in the goal area

and found the back of the net.

Shortly after, FC Davis had a chance to tie the game on a free kick from forward Tiffany Miras, but the shot narrowly missed the upper right corner of the goal and went out of bounds.

The Lionesses had a few more opportunities to score, including a missed shot from Molly Branigan in the 45th minute, but the score would remain 1-0 going into halftime.

Looking to build its lead, Lamorinda United was aggressive to begin the second half, which resulted in forward Adalie Hernandez burying a goal in the 53rd minute.

Neither team would score for the remainder of the game as Lamorinda United took home its third-straight victory while FC Davis has now lost in consecutive games.

With three games left in its schedule, Lamorinda United hosts Napa Valley 1839 FC (2-6-0) on Saturday and the San Francisco Nighthawks (5-31) on Sunday before traveling to face Napa Valley on Wednesday.

FC Davis will play its final game of the season on the road against the California Storm (7-2-0), a team the Lionesses tied 0-0 in their season opener on June 1.

Choose the river

By Kern Beare Special to The Enterprise

I

n a world that feels increasingly conflicted — where so many cultural battle lines have been drawn it’s impossible not to stumble over one of them and find yourself in unfriendly territory — what centering force helps us maintain our inner sense of wellbeing, our faith in a better future?

The experience of Janessa Gans Wilder may be instructive. She found her centering force in the midst of a war zone.

An intelligence analyst for the CIA, Janessa spent 21 months in Iraq from 2003 to 2005 — the height of the insurgency. Her job was to make sense of the enemy, to understand their motives, tactics, strategies, funding sources and leadership — all to help the U.S. wage a more effective war.

It was a job that brought her to the brink of despair. It was all too much: The death, the maiming, the near impossibility of collecting good information, the nights made sleepless by the incoming mortars of the enemy and, even worse, the outgoing mortars from U.S. forces that “shatter you from the inside out.”

For Janessa, the first battle of Fallujah — sparked by the killing and mutilation of four American Blackwater guards, their bodies hung on a bridge spanning the Euphrates river — was the worst of it. “It felt like the world was coming to an end and I couldn’t do anything to help. I just felt so powerless...I was drained emotionally, physically, spiritually, on every level.”

Janessa had reached what Amanda Ripley, author of High Conflict, calls the saturation point: “The point in a conflict where the losses seem heavier than the gains.” In common parlance, it’s when we’ve “hit bottom,” when we finally accept that the old ways aren’t working, but don’t yet know what else to do.

While it may not feel like it at the time, reaching the saturation point can be a very creative moment. It’s an opportunity, says Ripley, “for a shift.” At a loss for what else to do, new possibilities arise we hadn’t seen before.

For Janessa, a new possibility came as she stood on a rooftop overlooking the Euphrates river: “From the roof of the house, I could see the Euphrates, and I was captivated by its beauty and by the quiet. The only thing I could hear was the water gurgling by, which was so incredible, because the noise of war is so intense and constant. So that contrast with the quiet just took my breath away. And I just sat there, wanting to be taken in.

“And what I noticed was, just a few miles downstream, this river goes right through the middle of Fallujah. This beauty, this peace and quiet, was actually happening amidst all the bombs and noise and death and destruction.

“And then the thought came to me: Which will you choose?

“And I was so taken aback. I mean, it's a choice? I could choose this scene of life and peace and beauty?

“And I just said out loud, ‘I choose the river.’”

At that moment, says Janessa, a weight lifted from her shoulders. She’d regained a calm and clarity of mind the war had taken from her.

After choosing the river Janessa stopped being an analyst and took a new position with the U.S. Embassy, assisting the Iraqi government in making its transition to democracy. And later, after coming home from Iraq, she founded a nonprofit dedicated to global peace-building, which she named The Euphrates Institute.

Here then is one recipe for maintaining our inner wellbeing and our faith in the future, even in the midst of conflicts that seem forever out of reach of resolution: Choose the river. Say no to the fighting, the attacking, the resisting. Trust the flowing, creative force of the river rather than the destructive force of our rage and fear.

Saying yes to the river won’t make our conflicts go away. We’ll still have to live though perilous and chaotic times. But we’ll be living through them having made the one choice that can truly make a difference: — Kern Beare is the founder of the Difficult Conversations Project and the author of “Difficult Conversations: The Art and Science of Working Together.”

Will abortion ruling revive secession effort?

C

alexit, the movement for California secession from the Union, has never gotten off the ground, despite the efforts of the so-called “California Freedom Coalition,” formerly “Yes, California!” which tried running separatist ballot initiative drives in 2017 and 2020.

Its reasoning then was that California pays far more into the federal government in taxes than it gets back in federal spending, unlike much smaller states like West Virginia and Mississippi, which get far more back than they pay in. Secessionists also held this state is permanently underrepresented in the Senate and Electoral College compared with places like Alaska, Wyoming and Delaware.

If there are ever to be causes that might spur this state and perhaps some of its neighbors to go it alone, the twin U.S. Supreme Court decisions this spring to cancel out laws like California’s restrictions on carrying firearms and the federal right to female bodily privacy and, thus, abortion, might do it.

Right now, most voices opposing those decisions are exhorting their cohorts to “resist.” They don’t say how to do that effectively, even as the rulings are often compared to the Supreme Court’s infamous 1857 Dred Scott decision upholding the rights

Letters City Council was right about glyphosate In light of the fact that the U.S. Court of Appeals (Ninth Circuit) recently overturned the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) 2020 determination that glyphosate is safe for humans and wildlife (June 17), Rich Rifkin should update his April 6 piece about the City Council’s ban on glyphosate.

Rifkin cited EPA extensively to support his thesis in “Science not pushing Davis policy” but, as it turns out, the court found that EPA’s determination was what was not “pushed” by science.

According to Center for Food Safety (CFS; an NGO that took EPA to court over its decision; quotes are from the court decision), the court criticized EPA’s “disregard of tumor results” (EPA selectively discounted evidence that glyphosate causes tumors in animals); its use of “bare assertions” that “fail to account coherently for

of slaveowners to pursue escaped slaves even in socalled “free” states. That 7-2 ruling, like the 5-4 anti-abortion decision, was voted in by justices with personal interests in the cause at hand, folks who under some standards ought to have recused themselves from voting.

In the Dred Scott case, the court majority were slaveowners or former high officials of slave states from Maryland to Georgia. In the new anti-abortion ruling, all five justices voting to end the right are Roman Catholics taught since early childhood in church or school to oppose all abortions.

Abortion and gun control adherents can resist all they like, but it’s not likely to change a thing. When that sinks in, it’s just possible some people might consider other courses of action.

For sure, California often acts like a semi-independent country, and the abortion decision immediately set the state into action.

No one now knows whether this will be the first step in a move toward secession by California and its neighbors, with like-minded places like Hawaii and the Canadian province of British Columbia possibly joining in.

They might form a powerhouse country, perhaps called Pacifica, that could be a major world economic and military force.

Already, in spring 2020, when ex-President Donald Trump first indicated he might try cheating to hold onto power, the nominal head of the Calexit movement, Marcus Ruiz Evans of Fresno, observed that, “People are saying, ‘Hey, I used to think Calexit is a fanciful idea and I still do, but I’m coming around; we need a government that works and I don’t believe America can anymore.’”

That’s the same feeling a lot of Californians are voicing in the days after the Supreme Court’s two late-June decisions.

Some lately have cited an

the evidence;” making conclusions that do not “withstand scrutiny under the agency’s own framework,” and “fail[ing] to abide by” its own cancer guidelines. CFS also said the court noted that EPA’s “inconsistent reasoning” made its decision on cancer “arbitrary” and struck it down.

Just to be clear, selectively disregarding/ discounting relevant results, making bare assertions that don’t account coherently for the evidence, using inconsistent reasoning, and making arbitrary decisions might all be techniques that can be used to “push” something … but they ain’t science!

The court also noted that EPA had unlawfully ignored the Endangered Species Act in making its 2020 glyphosate decision and therefore had violated that law.

Consequently, the court sent EPA back to do its job again, properly this time. I hope that under the current administration, bona fide science and the law will prevail.

I’m sorry about Davis’ weeds and the inconvenient truth that the 2015 IARC (specialized cancer agency of WHO) deemed glyphosate, based on the scientific evidence, “probably carcinogenic to humans” and carcinogenic to experimental animals (no qualifier). But I’m thankful to

1860 editorial from the Dubuque, Iowa, Herald that argued “It does not follow that because a state cannot secede constitutionally, it is obliged under all circumstances to remain in the Union. There is a natural right, which is reserved by all men, and which cannot be given to any government…to form a government for their mutual protection... and for such other purposes as they may deem most conducive to their mutual happiness and prosperity.”

Those would be the very grounds toward which California and two of its neighbors now might be moving. Ironically, rather than resisting, what's left of the Union might just say “good riddance,” since a California departure alone would all but assure indefinite Republican rule of the rest of America.

So far, though, secession is a mere idea that has never had much support. Yet, history shows that borders, policies and governments are never permanent, no matter what any constitution may say.

Shelter bursting to the brim As a volunteer with the Yolo County Animal Shelter, I want to pass along an urgent message: we need more people to foster and adopt kittens and cats.

“Hello Everyone! Our shelter is currently bursting to the brim with cats and kittens available for adoption! We are in a standstill with not enough adoptions to open space for kittens in foster homes ready to come back. If you know anyone interested in adding a new feline friend to their home, let them know to check out our kitties!”

You can get information at https://www. friendsofycas.org.

While I’m at it I want to thank the Animal Services staff members — and especially Laura Nguyen — for all their competent and caring help. Thank you for all you do!

Moral dilemmas — law, love and my dog Chum

M

any years ago, I enjoyed lunch with an Episcopal priest whom I liked and admired. Our conversation eventually turned to how one might resolve a moral dilemma.

This is an issue in the Episcopal Church because we do not have a pope to guide our thinking, and biblical infallibility does not help Episcopalians as it might evangelical protestants, so dogma does not help us resolve such dilemmas.

We do not always get clear guidance from the pulpit in such controversial matters perhaps because the congregation may not have one dominant view of any dichotomy. And so, I wondered how a priest might resolve such matters for himself or herself. I have always valued the answer my lunch companion gave me: He said “Michael, always choose the path of greater love.”

That left the choice still mine to make, of course, but he provided me a tool I could use in sorting out moral dilemmas, and whenever such an issue arises, I always take that approach. Other

folk, of course, using the same guidance, may well choose a different answer from me, and we must honor and respect each other’s conclusion arrived at honestly.

The great moral dilemma of today swirls around the SCOTUS decision with regard to Roe. In my view the justices did not choose the path of greater love nor, unfortunately, do I think they saw the issue in those terms. They are, after all, lawyers who think as lawyers do. By some odd logic they concluded that the privacy protections of the 14th Amendment do not extend to pregnant women. I find that a bit odd as even a murderer is not stripped of Constitutional rights. Also, I ask what Constitutional rights the male

partner in this pregnancy must sacrifice?

The law has had its say; now love must speak.

Here there may be the faintest glimmer of hope with an iota of compassion and magnanimity.

There glows perhaps a far distant silver lining to Roe’s demise: That state legislatures enact generous programs to support families, many already burdened by poverty and other children, and some single mothers sometimes abused sometimes abandoned and always at risk for housing, food, child care, health care, education and a host of other needs.

Love for the unborn must now become Love for the born.

Of course, if such strong and effective family-oriented programs already existed in every state there may have been no need for Roe in the first place.

Unfortunately, I do not see the jubilant crowds celebrating Roe’s demise howling for support of the soon-to-be-born; rather, I think they are anxious even militant, to extend their view to all states. These folks remind me of my dog Chum, who was my

companion as a small boy. Chum loved to chase cars. One day he had the misfortune to actually catch one and as a result was killed. Unintended consequences.

Justice Clarence Thomas is playing a very odd game. He should be the last justice to apply this new interpretation of the 14th Amendment equally across all rights to privacy. His aim, of course, is at Constitutional protections for contraception and gay rights, that is, a program of Vatican family values, but he happens to be a beneficiary of 14th Amendment protections in a way that many citizens are not: In 1967 SCOTUS struck down laws that banned interracial marriage such as that between Clarence and Ginnie.

Now I don’t doubt that Ginnie may belong in jail but that Clarence could be the one to put her there surprises me. Perhaps it shouldn’t.

— Reach Michael Lewis at waleslewis792@gmail.com.

Because I have specifically mentioned the Episcopal church in the opening to this column, I should add the following state-

ment of the church’s guidance about Roe to its congregants: The Episcopal Church maintains that access to equitable health care, including reproductive health care and reproductive procedures, is “an integral part of a woman’s struggle to assert her dignity and worth as a human being” (2018-D032).

The Church holds that “reproductive health procedures should be treated as all other medical procedures, and not singled out or omitted by or because of gender” (2018-D032). The Episcopal Church sustains its “unequivocal opposition to any legislation on the part of the national or state governments which would abridge or deny the right of individuals to reach informed decisions (about the termination of pregnancy) and to act upon them” (2018-D032).

As stated in the 1994 Act of Convention, the church also opposes any “executive or judicial action to abridge the right of a woman to reach an informed decision … or that would limit the access of a woman to safe means of acting on her decision” (1994-A054)

Four tips to master the grill, cook kebabs Special to The Enterprise The end result of perfectly cooked chicken is a mouthwatering meal that smells just as good as it tastes and beckons loved ones to the patio. To achieve that juicy, tender flavor that brings family and friends together, it’s important to keep a few safety and grilling tips in mind.

Fire up your grill, season poultry to perfection and serve a safely cooked meal at your next backyard barbecue with this advice from the experts at Perdue Farms.

Maximize your budget For a flavorful meal without breaking the bank, consider less-expensive cuts of meat like bone-in thighs or drumsticks, or cook a whole chicken that can last for several meals.

In addition to the savings at the grocery store, these cuts can also withstand hotter temperatures on the grill for juicy and tender results.

Save a little time

Add favorite seasonings

One easy way to maximize your time around the grill while cutting down on prep and mess is using a pre-cut option like Perdue Fresh Cuts Diced Chicken Breast, a perfect solution for kebabs. Recipe ready in an easy-peel package, the chickens are hatched and

Because seasonings can sometimes come off on the grill, try seasoning both before and after grilling for a better-tasting final result.

If you’re planning to marinate, be careful to avoid over-marinating as acidbased marinades can start breaking down meat fibers.

Remember before and while seasoning raw meat to keep proper safety practices in mind. Wash your hands, cutting boards, knives, scissors, the sink and all work surfaces for 20 seconds with hot, soapy water, and don’t allow raw meat or its juices to touch other foods.

Trust the thermometer Once your grill reaches the desired heat, put chicken on the grates with

confidence by trusting a meat thermometer to measure doneness. This Easy Kona Pineapple Chicken Kebabs recipe, for example, calls for 10-12 minutes on the grill, but it’s important to check for an internal temperature of 165 F rather than simply relying on recommended cook times. Be sure to serve using a clean platter and utensils, never ones touched by raw meat.

Refrigerate any leftover chicken immediately and use within 3-5 days.

— Family Features

Easy Kona Pineapple Chicken Kebabs Prep time: 45 minutes Cook time: 15 minutes Servings: 4 Ingredients: 1 can (6 ounces) pineapple juice 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 lime, zest and juice only 1 tablespoon sugar

1 piece (1 inch) fresh ginger, grated ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes 1 package Perdue Fresh Cuts Diced Chicken Breast ½ fresh pineapple, cut into 16 chunks 1 large red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 16 (1-inch) chunks 4 metal skewers or 8 wooden skewers (12 inches) soaked in water 30 minutes Putting it together: In bowl, whisk pineapple juice, vegetable oil, lime juice and zest, sugar, ginger and red pepper flakes until sugar dissolves. Add diced chicken breast, cover and marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes.

Thread alternating pieces of chicken, pineapple and red bell pepper onto skewers. Discard remaining marinade.

Heat lightly greased grill or grill pan to mediumhigh heat. Grill kebabs 10-12 minutes, turning every three to four0 minutes until chicken feels firm to touch and a meat thermometer inserted in the center reaches 165 degrees.

Remove kebabs from grill, rest two to three minutes and serve.

Tip: If using wooden skewers, soak in water 30 minutes to keep skewers from burning on grill.

If using metal skewers, remember chicken will cook faster because metal will conduct heat and cook chicken cubes from inside along with grill heat cooking chicken from outside.

UC appoints a new chairman for Board of Regents Enterprise staff The University of California announced on July 1 the appointment of regent Richard Leib as chair of the UC Board of Regents and regent Gareth Elliott as the board’s vice chair. Leib and Elliott were selected for their leadership roles by their fellow regents and will serve one-year terms starting on July 1.

Leib, previously the board’s vice chair, is the president and CEO of Dunleer Strategies, a San Diego-based strategic consulting firm specializing in emerging companies. As vice chair, Leib had been serving as the Board’s leader since March 2022 when former chair Cecilia V. Estolano’s term as a regent ended. In addition to his work leading Dunleer Strategies, Leib co-founded Liquid Environmental Solutions, a pioneering company focused on developing non-hazardous

Name Droppers liquid-waste recycling, where he served as executive vice president and general counsel. Leib also worked in a number of federal and state government positions, including on the staff of state Sens. Gary K. Hart and Herschel Rosenthal, and for Reps. Henry Waxman and Mel Levine.

“UC is making positive impacts on the lives of Californians and the communities we call home every day.

I look forward to partnering with President Drake and my fellow regents to expand access to UC for more California undergraduates. Higher education is one of the primary pathways to economic mobility, and the university is focused on securing the necessary investments, in partnership with the state of California, to allow even more hardworking, quali-

fied Californians to attend UC in the years ahead,” said Leib.

Leib was appointed to the UC Board of Regents for an eight-year term in 2018 by Gov. Jerry Brown.

Leib’s previous public service work in education includes 10 years on the Solana Beach School Board, where he served as Board President for two years. Leib was also an appointee of Gov. Gray Davis to the Community College Board of Governors from 1999-2005, serving as President of the Board from 2001-2003. He holds a J.D. from the Loyola University School of Law, an M.A. from Claremont Graduate School, a Fellowship with the Coro Foundation, and a B.A. from UC Santa Barbara.

“Regent Leib is a powerful and effective advocate for the University of California, helping chart the University’s direction and

advocating for the critical resources our system needs to thrive,” said Michael V. Drake, M.D., president of the University of California.

Elliott has served in a number of governmental policy roles in California, including as legislative affairs secretary to Gov. Jerry Brown from 20112015, policy director to California State Senator Alex Padilla from 2008 to 2011, as well as policy director and deputy chief of staff to California State Senate President pro Tempore Don Perata from 2004 to 2008. He currently works as a partner at Sacramento Advocates, Inc. Elliott earned his B.A. degree from Humboldt State University. He was appointed as a regent in 2015 by Gov. Brown to a term ending in 2025.

2022-23 appointed chairs for the board’s standing committees include:

■ Regent Michael Cohen, chair of the Finance and Capital Strategies Committee ■ Regent Jay Sures, chair of the Compliance and Audit Committee ■ Regent Lark Park, chair of the Academic and Student Affairs Committee ■ Regent John A. Pérez, chair of the Health Services Committee ■ Regent Janet Reilly, chair of the Public Engagement and Development Committee ■ Regent Richard Sherman, chair of the Investments Committee ■ Regent Jay Sures, chair of the National Laboratories Committee Members of the Board of Regents are volunteers and serve without compensation.

Try Sign Up Genius I

t is time once again to raise the perennial question of why it is so difficult — sometimes impossible — to book a swimming slot at City of Davis swimming pools.

While it is so easy to do this at the City of Woodland’s Charles Brooks Community pool.

The answer is “Sign Up Genius.” Genius is an easily accessible platform for making reservations for anything.

It will automatically cap the number of swimming spots available as well as provide a way to sign a liability waiver. It is inexpensive for cities or other subscribers.

At the UC Davis recreation pool, you just walk up and buy a day pass for $10.

The City of Davis uses an antiquated software which pointlessly complicates the process to the point of sometimes denying slots even when they are available.

I have raised this question before. People have stopped me to say they support my proposal.

I have not yet started a petition, but I might. Just give me one good reason to stay with a failed system. n Schaal on the UC Davis campus is back for the long course Davis Aquatic Masters’ 50-yard endurance swimmers.

Until Thursday, Aug. 4, there will be three Schaal workouts at 6 a.m., 6:05 p.m. and 7:05 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

That’s the good news.

The bad news is that there will be no Summer Splash competition this year due to numerous scheduling challenges with Pacific Masters and the City of Woodland.

Instead, DAM has chosen to host an intersquad meet to wrap up its summer schedule at Arroyo Pool. Swim results will be eligible to set club records in both individual and relay events but will not count toward Pacific or US Masters swimming recognition. n Matt Zachan has been named the ninth head coach of Davis Aquatic Masters effective Friday, July 15.

They looked far and wide and found him in Davis. Zachan joined DAM shortly after moving to Davis. He has been swimming at Arroyo Pool and has competed in — and won — events for

TITLE: Davis kept lead From Page B1 In the top of the fourth, Forward took a hit to his leg from the first batter up.

This is when Kruse took over pitching duties for Davis.

Davis held Vacaville to one run in the top of the fourth, making the score 6-4.

Kruse recorded two strikeouts in the frame, with the second one being a three-pitch strikeout.

Davis added its final three runs in the bottom of the fourth.

With one out, Abrams hit a single, followed by another single from Zach Sulenta.

Abrams moved to third and Sulenta moved to second on a wild pitch.

Sulenta moved to third and Abrams came home on a flyout to centerfield from Wallace. Then Kruse walked.

Next, Lingbloom hit a single, allowing Sulenta to cross home and moved Kruse to third.

For Davis’ final run of

the game, Kruse scored on a wild pitch. That gave Davis a 9-4 lead entering the fifth inning.

Kruse held the Vacaville All-Stars scoreless in the inning, recording three strikeouts for all three outs, just as Forward had done in the second inning.

Vacaville added two runs in the top of the sixth frame, but it was futile.

Adams recorded the final out of the matchup and was mobbed on the first base line by his teammates and coaches.

“We emphasize pitching, but the only thing more powerful than our pitching is our hitting,” said Kermit Kruse. “We can hit from the top to the bottom of the lineup. We averaged 10 runs a game.

That’s what made the difference.”

Other members of the bDavis team include Pete Prussel and Alexander Ewers.

RUNAS: Still holds the Aggie in scoring average From Page B1 our Aggie program.”

Runas remains the program’s career leader in scoring average (73.91), top-10 finishes (31) and top-five finishes (18), while her senior season totals of a 72.63 average, 19 rounds of par or better, 11 top-10 finishes and eight top-five finishes remain school records.

Runas graduated from UCD with her degree in communication in 2013.

She won her first professional title on the Cactus Tour that summer, then later achieved another program milestone by becoming the first Aggie to earn her LPGA Tour card, thanks to a ninth-place finish on the Symetra Tour’s 2014 money list.

Runas played in 45 events on the LPGA Tour and announced her retirement from professional golf last year.

DAM at the 2021 Summer Splash and the 2022 Berryessa Swim. n Masters water polo practice has been on Wednesdays from 8 to 9:30 p.m. But throughout August, it will be on both Monday and Wednesday evenings. n DAM’s outstanding winners at Lake Berryessa open water swim June 4 were Brad Winsor, ninth in the combination 1- and 2-mile swim; Amy Rieger 25th; Helene Nehrebecki. 41st; and Jane Russell, 49th.

Benefits of blueberries

Metro

Small, yet bursting with big flavor, blueberries are a favorite of so many people. While blueberries may be coveted for their appeal in recipes that run the gamut from breakfast foods to desserts, the nutrients within them provide many benefits as well.

Blueberries are a low-calorie food.

Healthline notes that blueberries contain only 84 calories per cup. Plus they are 85 percent water. Blueberries can be a filling snack that doesn’t compromise low-calorie diets.

Blueberries may improve exercise recovery rates. Research published in the Iranian Journal of Public Health in 2018 has shown that eating blueberries can increase muscle strength recovery.

Blueberries help fight urinary tract infections. Cranberries are often touted as the go-to for treating and preventing UTIs. Blueberries may thwart cancer.

Phytochemicals in blueberries decrease the risk of several cancers by protecting cells from inflammation.
