The cost to park a car or motorcycle on campus went up Thursday as UC Davis imple mented a parking fee increase it first announced last month. The new daily parking rates range from $2.25 for motorcycle spaces to $3.50 for C lots and $4.60 for A lots, up by 25 cents to a dollar from previous rates. Electric vehicle parking increased from $3.50 to $4.50 for drivers who park in C lots after charging. The electric vehicle parking includes four hours of charging per day. Visi tor parking permits went up from $12 to $15 per day. Park ing on campus with a disabled placard remains free. In a message on its website, UC Davis Transportation Ser vices said the price hike was a result of increased costs associ ated with managing parking on campus. “Parking revenue helps us keep parking areas safe, improve roads and pathways for pedestrians, and keep traffic flowing throughout the cam pus,” the message stated. In 2020, UC Davis elimi nated long-term paper permits and switched over to using an app called ParkMobile to con duct daily parking payments. That switch, along with remote and hybrid work schedules, contributed to a significant decline in the number of people parking on campus on a daily basis, according to an article published this week by the UC Davis news service. Today, the number of people parking daily on campus is about half the amount it was in the 2018-19 academic year, the last full year before the pan demic. Remote work has helped Transportation Services surpass a goal it set to reduce the num ber of single-occupancy vehicle trips to campus by 10% before 2027. That goal is part of an objective to help California

Concerns raised by hunters over the city’s new safe-storage gun ordi nance resulted in a small change to the law on Tuesday night but left the ordinance largely intact. The safe-storage ordinance requires Davis residents to securely store firearms in their homes as well as in their vehicles, and it is the latter provision that raised concerns among duck hunters who travel through Davis on their way to and from the YoloTheBypass.ordinance approved last month required that for four-wheel vehicles lacking a trunk, such as sport utility vehicles, firearms must be located in a container that is perma nently affixed to the vehicle and underneath a seat, or covered, and outside of plain view from a window. The purpose, says Davis Police Chief Darren Pytel, “is to make it harder for a thief to simply break a window and be able to steal a gun from“Havinginside.a gun somehow attached to the vehicle certainly makes it more secure and increases the amount of see storaGe, paGe a5

By aaron Geerts Enterprise staff writer The trustees didn’t hide their excitement about school being back in ses sion during the DJUSD board meeting on Thurs day. Alongside the revelry within the meeting were a strategic plan update, an instructional planning update as well as the COVID-19 health and safety update. On top of the to-do list was the strategic plan update. The company, Performance Fact, was contracted to conduct the strategic planning process for the district and is an attempt to align the schools and community toward the same goals moving forward. Empha sizing the importance of this alignment was the update presenter and Per formance Fact CEO, Mutiu,“WhenFagbayi.you think of strategic planning, it’s almost like going to the chiropractor. You don’t have to go to feel okay, but when you do, do that you feel better than before you went,” explained Fagbayi. “So, if we want everyone to be aligned in a com mon purpose, it’s impor tant to include them in the planning process.

The youth commission expects to select commis sioners by November and plans to start meeting in January 2023. Youths who are selected will assume an active role in local govern ment. In addition to monthly meetings, youths will also receive leadership training and development opportunities to support them in their role as com munity representatives.

Applications open for Inaugural Yolo Youth Commission

Uneven

Special to The Enterprise WOODLAND — Appli cations for the first-ever Yolo Youth Commission are now available and all youth interested in engaging with and for their community are encouraged to apply. Once formed, the new youth commission plans to convene monthly to discuss community issues and bet ter understand the needs of youths and teens in Yolo County.Theyouth commission will be comprised of 15 members. To reflect the diversity of the county, three members represent ing each of the five supervi sorial districts will be selected. Commissioners will be appointed for a oneyear term and may be reap pointed for one additional one-year term. To be eligible for the youth commission, youths must be between the ages of 13 and 18 and reside in Yolo County. Youths do not need to be enrolled in Yolo County schools to be eligi ble.The application for the youth commission is avail able online at www.bit.ly/ YoloYCApp22 and the deadline to apply is Sept. 30. There is no cost to par ticipate.County leaders hope to encourage youths who are not traditionally involved in leadership activities to join the new commission. Youth applicants do not need to have any prior work or school experiences to be eligible for selection. “I encourage any young people who are interested in making a difference in their community to apply for the newly created Yolo Youth Commission. We need youth voices from all sectors of our diverse com munities in the County,” said Supervisor Oscar Vil legas. “I believe our youth actively engaging in local governance is critical in shaping stronger commu nities in Yolo County where they can thrive.”

Sure, you still had to pay for food and books and a place to lay your sleepy head, but part-time jobs were abundant and paid well enough that you could get by without compromising your stud ies.I was one of those lucky stu dents who stumbled into a great part-time job watering plants and getting Class 1 soil under my fin gernails every afternoon in a cam pus greenhouse and that pretty much paid for everything, includ ing pizza and beer on Friday nights.Asan added bonus, at least as valuable as my college education, was the fact that my greenhouse work was under the guidance of Milt Silva, who was an enormous positive influence in my young life.Back in those days, we did have an "incidental fee" of $81.50 per quarter that allowed us to get into football and basketball games, get an emergency appendectomy at the Student Health Center and run for student body president. The fee was the same even if you went on to graduate school. Then one day, unfortunately, someone in charge decided California students should start paying tuition and the rest is history. Sad history. Tuition quickly escalated to the point where you could no longer work a part-time job and afford to attend college. Even if you flipped burgers or waited tables full-time, it still wasn't enough. As a result, a great many stu dents, UC or otherwise, started accumulating student debt. It may have felt like free money at the time, but at some point you had to pay the piper. But now some of that, for some people, will be dismissed with a stroke of the Presidential pen, but there's a catch. Any debt accumulated after June 30 of this year will not be forgiven. Which means this year's crop of incoming freshmen will start the debt cycle all over again. Much better to go back to the days of tuition-free education, which may seem impossible at this point, but if it was possible way back then, it's possible today. We just need to move it up a few notches on the priority list. Another problem with Biden's get-out-of-debt plan is that it doesn't treat everyone equally. What about those folks who took out student loans and then faithfully, and sometimes pain fully, paid them back in full? Will they get a refund for their respon sibleAndbehavior?whatof those people who never had an opportunity to go to college and started paying taxes shortly after graduating from high school? Do they not deserve a piece of this pie? Some of them, no doubt, have $10,000 of creditcard debt they'd dearly like to see disappear.Ifwetruly have money to burn, Mr. President, just send everyone a check of the same amount and let us decide how we want to use it. We're all Americans, after all, with hopes and dreams of our own, whether or not we went to college.Atthe very least, we deserve to be treated as equals. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdun ning@davisenterprise.net

“The Yolo Youth Com mission will provide a plat form to engage and support young people throughout our County. I have always seen youth as a resource. Their voices are fresh and critically needed in shaping our shared future,” said Supervisor Don Saylor. “This commission will build on efforts in our com munities and the annual Youth Empowerment Sum mit (YES!) by establishing an ongoing action and leadership forum for young people.”TheYolo Youth Commis sion is a partnership between the Yolo County Office of Education (YCOE), Yolo County, and the Martin Luther King Jr. Freedom Center in Oak land.In May, the Board of Supervisors voted unani mously to establish the youth commission as a two-year pilot program and authorized YCOE to administer the program.

The pilot is being funded by county cannabis tax rev enue with additional grant funding from the Martin Luther King Jr. Freedom Center.Once formed, a key func tion of the youth commis sion will be conducting an annual review of grant proposals to youth-cen tered efforts or youth orga nizations serving Yolo County. A total of $160,000 per year will be available for youth-cen tered grants during the two-year pilot.

First and foremost, let me say I'm thrilled that President Biden, all by himself, wiped away my student debt once and for all. The kids will now have shoes for the winter. The only problem with this sweeping executive action, which may or may not be legal, is that I don't have any student debt. NeverThisdid.isnot because I had a full ride to Stanford in advanced mathematics due to my 2.43 grade point average at Davis High School that included a C-plus in introductory algebra. It's also not because I got a full athletic scholarship to play base ball at Cal after singling in three at-bats in a JV baseball game against Clarksburg. It's also not because my tuition and room and board at Notre Dame were waived because I'm Catholic.No,the reason I do not and did not have student debt is that when I attended the University Farm, the University of California was tuition-free.This,ofcourse, was back in the day when Davisites drove tractors instead of Teslas, and Gov. Edmund G. "Pat" Brown — Jerry's dad — decided that college should be tuition free. Yes, free.

A local transient was arrested on felony assault charges last week after allegedly attacking a man in his own backyard. Kyle Arthur Steffens was known to go onto the victim’s property occa sionally, and he arrived at about 1:30 p.m. Tuesday speaking unintelligibly as the victim worked in his shop, Davis police Lt. John Evans reported Fri day.“He walked up to (the victim) and punched him in the face,” then tried to hit him with a lawn chair and a ladder, Evans said. The victim managed to block those blows, but was struck with a handful of small rocks Steffens allegedly hurled. A larger rock, estimated to weigh around 10 pounds, narrowly missed the victim, Evans said. Steffens, 40, left the scene but was located by police Wednesday night in downtown Davis, where Evans said he was taken into custody on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.

Marietta Mae Hamilton May 1, 1932 — May 29, 2022. A lovely life lived. One of caring, supporting and giv ing.Marietta Hamilton spent many of her 90 years cheer ing on and helping others. She was both gregarious and nurturing throughout her 50-plus years spent in the medical field, her life long dedication to volun teer work, and her lifetime commitment to Aggie bas ketball.Born May 1, 1932, in Laramie, Wyo., during the depression, Marietta grew up with a single mother (Marian Mildred Niespo) and a younger sister (Lila). Her mother always had to go where the jobs were, taking the family to places such as Gordon, Neb., Reno, Nev., Hurlong, Calif., and Port Orchard, Wash. By Marietta’s ninth-grade year, they had also moved to three small towns in South Dakota. In Buffalo Gap, her mother taught English on a Native American Reserva tion, where Marietta “could see Mount Rushmore out of her bedroom window.” She finished her high school years at South Kit sap High in Port Orchard and did so without her mom there her junior and senior years (she lived with a friend’s family). After high-school graduation, she also attended Olympia Junior College. In that time period, Marietta’s mother had got ten married and her new husband owned a motel on the Oregon coast. This led to Marietta’s migration to Oregon and to Eugene. Eugene is where Marietta started work in her first doctor’s office and also started her involvement in community organizations. She served as president in the Alpha Rho chapter of Epsilon Sigma Alpha and organized a local chapter of medical and legal secretar ies in the area. Eugene was also the place she went on a blind date with a basketball coach named Robert Ham ilton. They were married four months later on Aug. 15,After1953.they were married, Marietta continued to work in the medical field while Bob ran a small business and pursued his coaching career. Their only child, Shana, was born in May of 1961 in Eugene. In the Fall of ’63, the family moved to Davis, as Bob was hired as the bas ketball coach at UC Davis. After Shana started school, Marietta returned to work in a doctor’s office and vol unteered for the Red Cross, including during the Viet nam War. She served as vice chair of the Yolo County branch and was honored for her hospital service. Marietta and Bob lived in Davis until Bob’s passing in 1995.

However, because UC Davis Trans portation Services does not receive funding from tuition, campus fees or state money, raising parking rates is one of its only options to cover expenses, including salaries, road maintenance and debt payments on parking structures, according to the campus news service.

The price variation for different lots is designed to balance demand for particular campus parking lots. That also contributed to the variation in rate increases this week. “The different rates allow us to dis tribute parking and traffic congestion throughout the system,” said Ramon Zavala, transportation demand man ager for Transportation Services. “With greater separation between A and C rates, some people will shift from A zones to C zones and better alleviate congestion.”

She officially retired from Sutter Davis Hospital in 2000, but still continued to work part-time at the Davis Chamber of Commerce, where she enjoyed greeting people and talking with them about Davis, a town she lived in for 59 years and grew to love so much. As she aged, unable to pursue her other hobbies of traveling, reading, writing letters and shopping with her daughter, she relied on her family, wonderful friends, and the kindness of those in the caregiving pro fession. Marietta was able to stay in her home of 54 years until the last seven months of her life. She enjoyed her 90th birthday party, where she got an inperson serenade from the Cal Aggie marching band. The party was at a wonder ful facility (Gloria’s country care) where she passed away on May 29, 2022. She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Shana and Mitch Campbell, sister Lila Pengra, sister-inlaw Sarah Hamilton and many nieces and nephews.

And these are people coming from other counties, from out of state… none of them are going to know about this ordinance and I just think people are going to fall through the cracks and then be cited for things that really they had no knowl edgeHennellyof.” added that requiring duck hunters, in particular, to put their guns in hard cases “is problem atic.”“When we go out, it’s during the wettest, rainiest days — those are the best duck-hunting days if you’re hunting rice fields. And the firearms get completely soaked wet. The last thing you want to do is to put that (firearm) in an envi ronment where there’s no ventilation. It causes rust, it causes corrosion. Some of these shotguns are $2,000, $3,000 … it just ruins them..”Healso cited the expense of installing a hard con tainer and urged the coun cil to remove the vehicle storage component alto gether “or amend it to make it much more work able.”In response to the con cerns raised, Pytel offered an amendment to the ordi nance.“Ithink that there is a fairly simple fix by changing a couple of words that both can work for a majority of hunters but also make sure that firearms are safely secured,” he told council members. “(A)s currently worded, it says ‘for vehicles with four or more wheels and lacking a trunk, in a located container that is per manently affixed to the vehicle and underneath a seat, or covered, or otherwise outside the plain view from the outside of the vehicle.’ “By removing the word ‘permanently,’ and then after ‘affixed’ adding in ‘or secured’ then that should be some kind of middle ground,” said Pytel. “In other words, the firearm would still have to be in a locked container, but the locked container can then be secured to the vehicle with a chain or cable lock so that it would be more secure than having it sim ply sitting in the vehicle where it can be easily sto len.“But it doesn’t require having … some sort of con tainer permanently affixed to the vehicle… it’s a lowcost solution, but makes it morePytelsecure.”added that the ordinance only applies to unattended vehicles. “So anybody can drive with a gun in the car as long as they’re lawfully car rying the firearm under state law. But for… stop ping to get gas, assuming that you’re just doing that at the pump, the firearm’s attended in the vehicle and there is no violation of this ordinance.“Thisis to stop people from leaving unsecured weapons inside of a vehicle and leaving the vehicle,” he said. “And again, making it harder for somebody to steal the firearm from the vehicle.”Asfor concerns that police might target hunters passing through the city, Pytel said just like any other city ordinance, “we consistently give warnings and educate people and this one would be really no different.“Theprimary goal here is to educate our community about how to safely store firearms to make them more difficult for people to access them. This was never really about enforce ment, although in some cases enforcement may be entirely appropriate if somebody leaves their guns unsecured in a car and they’re stolen … Having an infraction violation proba bly is not such a bad thing.” He noted as well that city has “a pretty large theft problem” with people often leaving purses or comput ers in their cars and losing them thanks to break-ins. “But here we’re talking about firearms, and espe cially in the case of hunters, oftentimes there’s ammuni tion with those firearms. And honestly they should not be left unsecured in the vehicles. That’s dangerous.” As for suggestions that hunters should be exempted from the ordi nance, Mayor Lucas Fre richs said, “I’m not sure the ability to do an exemption for a class of people, in this case hunters, is going to work … there’s a slippery slope and when you start to exempt classes of folks.” The council ultimately voted unanimously to amend the ordinance as proposed by Pytel. Hen nelly thanked Pytel for working to address the concerns of hunters, but said, “I don’t think that’s going to fully fix our issue.”

The crash instantly killed Jona sen, a former Yolo County proba tion officer who, according to her family, devoted her life to helping others.Late last month, those relatives received a letter from the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office alerting them that Hendrix “will be considered for resentencing and may have their sentence shortened.”Severalchanges in state law brought this about, starting on Jan. 1, 2020, when Senate Bill 136 invalidated one-year sentencing enhancements for prior prison terms, but for sentences not yet Thenfinal.came SB 483, which as of Jan. 1 of this year brought retro active relief for those who had prior-prison enhancements imposed, as Hendrix did. SB 483 later became Penal Code 1171.1 (renumbered to 1172.75 in July). All eligible cases automatically undergo a review, including about 40 to 50 in Yolo County, according to Melinda Aiello, Yolo County’s assistant chief deputy districtAielloattorney.notedthat the court also can consider other factors in a resentencing bid, such as the inmate’s post-conviction conduct. As for any potential new sen tence Hendrix could receive, “it’s not clear what’s going to happen,” Aiello said. The case returns to court Oct. Hendrix,6.serving his time at the California State Prison, Los Angeles County, was not present for Thursday’s hearing. The Cali fornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation website shows he’s eligible for a parole hearing in February 2026.

Defense helps Blue Devils to victory

The Blue Devils pride themselves on being fundamentally sound, which the team exemplifies through the basic exe cution of principles and being consistent with their training. One of the driving factors behind the team is their desire to be competitive. “We want to be competitive; we want to advance as deep as we can, and we want a (Sac-Joaquin) section champion ship,” Stapleton said. “Those things are motivators for now but it’s about the experience and understanding so that when we get to that point, the switch is already turned on.” The opportunity to compete will come soon with the team having some highly competitive tournaments coming up.

“If children can treat them selves kindly, they’ll treat others that way,” said Carter Peters from KinderCare Learning Cen ters’ education team. “When children feel encouraged, sup ported and loved, they are able to give those feelings to others.” Consider these three tips to boost your children’s self-esteem. Be Your Children’s Cheer leader. When praising or com plimenting children for their achievements, be specific and include affirmation for positive character traits, such as “You were so kind to help Ms. Delmar take her recycling out” or “I’m proud of you for seeing she needed help and offering it.” Being specific with your compli ments reinforces the idea that your children are kind and help ful. Eventually, they’ll offer oth ers the same positive affirmations and be less likely to look to outside influences to define their sense of self. “When children have high selfesteem and self-worth, they know when someone’s opinion of them is untrue,” Peters said. “Children with high self-esteem become adults capable of believ ing in themselves.” Give Children Space to Safely Express Their Emotions. While it’s important to intentionally con nect with your children one-onone, it’s equally important to give them space to come to you for help. Let them know you notice when they don’t seem like them selves but try not to push them to share before they’re ready. You can talk with your children about the ways they can communicate with you, aside from one-on-one conversations. If they find it easier to communi cate their feelings through writ ing, you can go to the store together to pick out a journal.

Children who are not yet profi cient writers may prefer to draw pictures about their feelings. No matter the method, be sure to make time to check in with your children. Teach Emotional Literacy and Replacement Skill Behavior. You can help your children move beyond comprehension of basic emotions — happy, sad, mad — and toward an understanding of more nuanced emotions. When children can identify their feel ings, they’re closer to developing healthyCommonlyresponses.labeled “bad behaviors” are often young chil dren’s way of communicating something is wrong, so they may need help identifying the emo tion driving their actions. It’s important for children to under stand that while their feelings are acceptable, their behavior may not be. That’s where replacement skills — acceptable ways to express emotions – come in. For example, try saying “It’s OK to be mad. It’s not OK to hit other people. When you’re mad, you can hit a pillow.” For more tips to help boost children’s self-esteem, visit kindercare.com. — Family Features

While packing bags and back packs for school, there’s one essential that may be over looked: Children’s self-esteem. Although many children may feel confident and self-assured at home, they can feel differently in the classroom. When children have high self-esteem, they’re less likely to reflect negative feel ings toward others.

Heartfelt thanks to Father Rene of St. James Catholic Church for the funeral mass on Monday, Aug. 22, and to Father Carlo of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Auburn for the graveside services on Tuesday, Aug. 23. We definitely lost a special person but he’s still watching over everyone and smiling.

Fulminating over city staff's ask for wildlife crossings as part of his Bretton Woods development project, Dave Taormino shares his obvious contempt for wildlife. He demands that staff prove the crossings would benefit frogs and toads more than they would vermin. He warns that the crossings would revise our “national embarrassment” of the 1995 Davis Toad Tunnels. But perhaps Mr. Taormino might share evidence that wildlife crossings don’t work as intended. After all, many wildlife crossings have been built worldwide since the Davis toad tunnels, so there ought to be plenty of evidence for him to bring forth. The burden of evidence should be his, not the Measurescity’s.to mitigate development impacts to wildlife don’t always work, which is why it is prudent to require each be implemented with sufficient experi mental design and monitoring to test for efficacy. The sum total of mitigation to date has failed to prevent rapid declines of wildlife in and around Davis, such as the western toads for which the toad tun nels were built, yellow-billed magpies, white-tailed kites, California ground squirrels, black-tailed jackrabbits, desert cottontails and many others. It has been two years since the last suc cessful nest of burrowing owls in Davis. These terrible outcomes of careless deci sion-making are what bring shame to Davis, Mr. Taormino, not the efforts to lessen them. Build the wildlife crossings.

Newsom worries about ‘bullies’

ForumB4 THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2022

By LLeweLLyn King Special to The Enterprise The Uber model is changing America. First, it made a business out of the fam ily car. Then it made a business out of the spare room or vacation house. Soon it might make a business out of the roof over yourThathead.isthe dream of a group of hugely successful entrepreneurs who see roofs as the next big monetization of a widely held capital asset. This group, which at present chooses to remain anonymous, believes that with the right communications network and smart computer linkage, the nation’s sun-trap ping roofs could become a new source of electricity; and, if connected to in-home batteries, a virtual power plant of scale and reliability.WhatUber did for ride-sharing and what Airbnb did for lodging, these entrepreneurs believe could be done for the electric utility industry.Oneof them told me, “A network can be many different things, but in the context of a network of potentially millions of solar rooftops, it means virtually real-time cap ture and analysis of billions of data points. Only a wireless network, using the latest broadband technologies — similar to those that support our smartphones — can han dle that Rewindworkload.”theclock to when solar cells became generally available: Utilities encouraged their use and bought electricity from customers when it was generated, not when it was needed. At the same time, large solar plants began to be developed and owned by the utilities, which worked better for them, and they soured on rooftop solar. In talking to utilities, I find them to be cool-to-indifferent to rooftop solar but enthusiastic about solar central station generation, particularly if linked with bat tery storage. Mostly, utilities like solar gen eration because of its predictability. The idea of hooking together a vast net work of millions of solar panels on roofs with their own batteries puts demand back in the hands of the utilities, giving them the flexibility of having a great new resource. Also, like the Uber model, there would be variable pricing: In a crisis or a highdemand situation, the utility or the system operator would order power from home owner batteries at surge prices, befitting all. Owners of solar rooftop and battery setups would become “citizen solarizers.” The concept of a vast, on-demand, vir tual power plant isn’t entirely speculative. Brian Keane, president of SmartPower, told me that what might be a frontrunner is already being tested in Connecticut.

Politicians who claim to have an elevated moral purpose risk being branded as hypocrites if they fail to live up to the standards they set for NewsomCaliforniaothers.Gov.Gavinrunsthatriskas he denounces the Republican governors of other states, particularly Ron DeSantis of Florida and Greg Abbott of Texas, as “bullies” for their states’ policies on abortion, gay rights and other issues.

“People keep asking why I’m calling out DeSantis and these Republican governors,” Newsom tweeted late last month. “The answer is sim ple: I don’t like bullies.” Newsom’s tweet contained his interview with ABC news, including a lengthy rant beginning with “I can’t take what’s going on in this coun try.”“I can’t take what these governors are doing state after state affecting minori ties, affecting vulnerable communities, threatening the Special Olympics with fines, going after the LGBTQ com munity, saying if you’ve been raped by your father you don’t have the right to express yourself and rights over your own body,” New som told ABC’s Matt Gut man.“My entire life I don’t like bullies,” Newsom added. “I don’t like people who bother other people. I don’t like peo ple who demean other people and that’s being celebrated in American politics today and you got to call it out. DeSan tis is the worst of it but Abbott and these other guys, they’re right there and forgive me, I’m naming them because we have to and I think people need to under stand what’s going on in this country and there’s too much at Onstake.”the issues that Newsom cites, particularly abortion and LGBTQ rights, his criticism is more than warranted. But calling rival gover nors “bullies” is over the top. After all, they were duly elected to their posi tions, as was Newsom, and like him, probably will be re-elected this year. Their positions on these hot button issues would not fly in Califor nia, but they apparently do in their states. That’s not bullying; it’s governing, which often means compelling people to do things they’d rather not do. Newsom has done a lot of it since becom ing governor nearly four years ago, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, when he was governing by decree.WasNewsom being a bully or governing when he ordered thousands of small businesses to shut down to stop the spread of the deadly coronavirus? Those affected, including more than 2 mil lion workers who lost their jobs, might say he was being a bully, since larger busi nesses were often exempted. Likewise, parents com plained that Newsom arbi trarily closed schools and forced their children into “Zoom school” even though COVID-19’s threat to chil dren was scant. Many of California’s city officials have complained that Newsom is bullying them into building high-den sity housing that their con stituents don’t want, threatening legal action or financial sanctions if they don’t comply. Newsom says the state must act aggres sively to solve its housing shortage.California gun owners complain constantly that Newsom and the Legislature impose nonsensical, harass ing regulations on their con stitutional right to bear arms. Newsom considers all of those acts, and many others, to be governing — just as DeSantis, Abbott, et al, con sider what they do to be gov erning. But in the eyes of beholders, he could be just as easily branded a bully. Finally, doesn’t Newsom’s name-calling make him one of the “people who demean other people” he professes to despise? — CalMatters is a public interest journalism venture committed to explaining how California’s state Capitol works and why it matters.

The Davis Community Church has had original volunteers like Dorthy Laben who have had “hands on” experiences col lecting and storing food, and raising funds for food on the Hunger Hike to Woodland.

“All residential customers who choose the ‘Connecticut Green Bank’s CT Storage Solution’ option receive the generous, upfront rebate incentives for agreeing to have their battery drawn from every week day afternoon during June, July and August, as well as on high-need ‘critical’ days on the weekends, in September, and for a handful of days during the winter months. Customers will get a payment each year based on the amount of electricity that is drawn from the battery,” Keane explained. Developing a national virtual power sys tem would enhance something that is happening quietly, which is what I call the “buttressing of the grid.” It might be seen as the tacit acceptance that the grid isn’t going to be rebuilt in any substantial way, but it will be buttressed by new generation and limited new transmis sion. Uberizing rooftop solar could be an important part of this buttressing — and a gift to the nation both as a source of clean power and citizen involvement. It remains to be seen whether regional solar networks would be subject to regulation by the federal government or by the states. Going forward, a rooftop solar installa tion might be more than a convenience for a household and a way of signaling green virtue. Llewellyn King is executive producer and host of “White House Chronicle” on PBS. He wrote this for InsideSources.com.

Newsom has run ads criti cal of the two governors and donated $100,000 to DeSan tis’ challenger, Charlie Crist. At the very least, Newsom is raising his national political profile. But it could be the beginning of a presidential campaign, which he denies.

Our family is very thankful for the pub lication of Glen Ralph Baxter’s obituary in The Davis Enterprise. We have received support from many individuals after his death. A constant comment from family, neighbors, and friends was his “great smile” whenever they saw him in our front yard, shopping in various stores, working at Meals on Wheels or Craftsmen for Christ activities, or walk ing one of the dogs we owned during our 56 years of marriage. A very special thank you to Glen’s pri mary physician, Dr. Steven Smith, who referred Glen to Sutter Care at Home — Sacramento Hospice (their staff gave us super support) and to the caregiver team of Desmond, James, and Victor who became our “family” during the last days of Glen’s life.

By RoBeRt C. KoehleR Special to The Enterprise Close your eyes and try to envision the two wolves. Imagine yourself as a ter rified child. I think that helps bring the myth to life ... this myth, said to be Cherokee, of humanity’s two choices. The wolves are engaged in a vicious fight. The wise grandfather explains to the child that the two wolves are inside all of us. One of the wolves is an arrogant narcissist — a jerk, an egocentric idiot. You know, evil. The other is the embodiment of joy and empathy, kindness and love. The trembling child asks in alarm: “Which one wins?” And Grandfather lays it on the line: “The one you feed.” This is morality 1.0. Don’t cater to the worst in yourself. Yeah, OK, that makes a lot of sense; we all no doubt need to remind our selves of this on a regular basis, especially when things aren’t going the way we want. But here’s the problem with this myth — or at least what seems to be its oversimplified ver sion. It’s continually vulnerable to turning into a tool of the worst of who we are. I make this point in the midst of a larger research project: trying to understand the nature of war and the nature of being human. Are they insepara ble? And more to the point: How do we evolve beyond war? When the two wolves popped up in the midst of this research, it felt like an “aha!” moment. Which wolf wins? The one you feed: “A diverse coalition of civil soci ety groups responded with dis gust after the Senate Armed Services Committee voted Thurs day to tack an additional $45 bil lion on top of President Joe Biden’s already massive military spending request, bringing the total proposed budget for the coming fiscal year to a staggering $857.6 billion.” So wrote Kenny Stancil in Common Dreams. Yeah, the U.S. military budget just keeps grow ing. So does the global military budget. And here’s what this feed ing frenzy looks like less abstractly, in the present moment, in the words of Marcy Winograd of Pro gressive Democrats of America: “The Department of Defense recently announced it would send nearly $3 billion more in weapons and assistance to Ukraine. . . the largest Ukraine arms package yet — rockets, drones, 350,000 rounds of ammunition . . . . The latest announcement from the DOD brings the total in weapons, ammunition and military train ing to escalate the war in Ukraine to at least $13.5 billion.” But as I think about this, a counter-argument, a defense of U.S. military assistance to Ukraine, immedi ately pops up. The U.S. and NATO have no choice! Putin’s the bad wolf here. And this is where the wise grandfather and the myth itself begin to collapse. Both wolves are fighting with bared claws and bared teeth; both are trying to kill the other.

This past weekend, four men wearing black cloth ing and masks displayed an antisemitic banner over the Highway 113 bicycle over pass in Davis that stated, “The Holocaust is an antiwhite lie.” A similar incident occurred a week earlier. This type of hateful behavior can not be tolerated in our com munity and we must stand together against these abhor rentAsacts.thechief prosecutor in the county, I want to assure you that my office will aggres sively prosecute hate crimes perpetrated in this County. I have always taken a strong stand against these sorts of crimes — hate crimes are message crimes that trauma tize not only the direct victim, but all community members. I am hopeful that, to further assist California prosecutors, Gov. Gavin Newsom will sign into law AB 557, which will require the state Department of Justice to establish a grant program for the purpose of creating, supporting, or expanding vertical prosecu tion units for the prosecution of hate crimes. This bill was recently passed unanimously by the assembly and senate. Of course, we must keep in mind that not all of these repugnant acts rise to the level of a hate crime. Some, including the hateful act that occurred this past weekend, are classified as hate inci dents. And some hateful speech is protected by the United States Constitution. With the rise in hate inci dents and crimes in our county over the past few years, I have had numerous discussions with the Yolo County Multi-Cultural Com munity Council. The MCCC is comprised of a diverse group of individuals from through out Yolo County. Their mission is to seek fair and equal justice, facilitate understanding, ensure open communication, and promote community participation, education and diversity within the criminal justice system. The group also acts as an advi sory committee to the DA. At a recent MCCC meeting, as I’ve done so many times in the past, I asked the the memgbgers for their thoughts and input. What I found most poignant were the comments by Alan Brownstein, who is a retired King Hall Law School constitutional-law professor and is also a member of Con gregation Bet Haverim. Professor Brownstein said that under the Constitu tion, the remedy for bad speech is good speech, not the suppression of evil messages. This First Amendment doc trine, however, relies on the willingness of good people to speak up when there is time to do so and counter evil counsel to reduce the likeli hood that bad speech will lead to unlawful acts or vio lence.SoI think it is important for government officials like me to know that while free speech doctrine prevents us from silencing evil ideas, the reasoning underlying that doctrine obliges and requires us to speak up loudly against evil speech. I was pleased to see strong statements con demning the recent acts of hate by Davis Mayor Lucas Frerichs, UC Davis Chancel lor Gary May, and Davis Police Chief Darren Pytel. We must stand united against all acts of hatred. All human beings should be treated fairly regardless of age, education level, race, eth nicity, gender expression and identity, religion, marital sta tus, and socioeconomic sta tus. — Jeff Reisig is the district attorney for Yolo County. commenTary

Humanity’s wars over the last 10,000 years have evolved, it would seem, out of that very myth. As the human social struc ture has gotten more complex, more grounded in property and wealth — and control — the concept of us-vs.-them has hard ened into place. There’s always an enemy, and the enemy is always the bad wolf. War took a while to find itself. As anthropologist R. Brian Fer guson wrote in Scientific Ameri can:“Simple hunting and gathering characterized human societies during most of humanity’s exis tence dating back more than 200,000 years. Broadly, these groups cooperate with one another and live in small, mobile, egalitarian bands, exploiting large areas with low population density and few possessions.” But life slowly grew more com plex for much of humanity, espe cially as people transitioned from hunter-gathering to agriculture and the establishment of fixed settlements, property, ownership and, ultimately, wealth (or lack thereof).“Overmillennia,”

Ferguson writes, “preconditions of war became more common in more places. Once established, war has a tendency to spread, with violent peoples replacing less violent ones. States evolved around the world, and states are capable of militarizing peoples on their peripheries and trade routes.” And this is today’s world. Are we stuck with war then — war that has evolved its weapons over the years from clubs to spears to guns ... to nuclear weapons? We’ve pushed ourselves to the absolute brink of existence, with minimal interest at the highest levels of state power to transcend self-annihilation, either by war or my climate col lapse. When the mega-bombs begin to burst, billions of us will soon be dead. We’re stuck — is that it? So long, humanity? Ferguson does point out that some human societies, during that era of agricultural transition, avoided the emergence of war. “Many social arrangements,” he points out, “impede war, such as cross-group ties of kinship and marriage; cooperation in hunting, agriculture or food sharing; flexi bility in social arrangements that allow individuals to move to other groups; norms that value peace and stigmatize killing; and recog nized means for conflict resolu tion.”Conflict is inevitable — that will never change. But various societies over the millennia have found ways not simply to mini mize conflict, but to learn from it and transcend it, to create what Ferguson calls “distinct precondi tions for peace.” This is not idealism! It only seems that way to minds encaged in the belief that they’re the good wolves. Creating the precondi tions of peace — negotiating with Russia, for God’s sake, and beyond that, disarming the world’s nuclear weapons, coura geously addressing climate col lapse — is not wishful thinking.

Sept. 24-25: Thriving Pink Annual Renewal Retreat. This is an annual retreat weekend for individuals in Yolo County newly diagnosed with breast cancer offers meaningful support and resources. The retreat is profes sionally facilitated and thought fully planned by pink peers who have been on the same journey through a cancer diagnosis. Thriving Pink honors, cele brates, and supports those who are impacted by breast cancer. The local nonprofit organization provides individual financial grants to help with essential needs, including medical and quality of life care, educational workshops and wellness semi nars facilitated by medical pro viders, and a pink peer mentoring program for those who are newly diagnosed. “The most important part of Thriving Pink is the realization that no one is in this alone,” said Gayle Norman Barry, who serves as chair of the Mentoring Pink program for Thriving Pink. “There are other survivors always willing to reach out and lend a hand. I found chemo to be tiring and from talking with oth ers, realized that I can take this one step at a time and fight each battle as it comes. There is a place to go to find a group of women who understand and are there to help in every way from the initial diagnosis through the entire journey.

“Murphy sat in my lap and just stared at me and I was like ‘I can’t leave without this dog’,” Hamm recalled. The shelter needed to see proof from her landlord that she was allowed to have a dog but by the time Hamm got the OK, the shelter had closed for the day. That was enough of a pause for her to wonder if she was getting in over her head com mitting to taking care of a puppy with a full-time head coaching gig. Murphy had already left his mark though.Hisindoctrination into soccer at first was a product of how much care a puppy needs combined with Hamm’s busy schedule.“Ijuststarted bringing him every where with me,” Hamm said. Her office in Santa Rosa, classes, trainings, games, indoor soccer practices — the result was Murphy became comfortable being around lots of people in different environments at a young age. All that early socialization means Murphy rarely looks more at home than he does making his rounds before UCD home games and sleeping a few feet behind Hamm while she coaches. Until Hamm arrived at UCD in 2019 though, Murphy had always sat in the stands and quickly picked up the timing of a soccer game. Though she hadn’t had him on the sideline until that 2019 season, any apprehension was quickly erased when Murphy simply walked over to the back row of the bench and slept through his first game at UCD. T he two are nearly inseparable and now in their third season and fourth year overall, Murphy is synonymous with Aggie soccer. Tongol/UC

The running back took the ball and slid to the right side of the offensive line and ran into the end zone on a 10-yard run.

n The San Francisco 49ers decision this week to retain GaroppoloJimmytobe Trey Lance’s backup seems to ask as many questions as it answers.TheNew England Patriots traded Jimmy G to the 49ers once the regular season was underway.IfLance stays healthy and defies the critics, the same thing could happen again.

On Aug. 23, the 2022 UC Davis women’s soccer coaching staff was finalized when Murphy, head coach Tracy Hamm’s pitbull mix, was quietly added to the roster as the Aggies’ StudentAthlete Wellness Supporter. Though Murphy has been that for all of Hamm’s teams over the last nine sea sons, he’d never had a title and never been publicly listed as a member of a coaching staff. By the next day, Murphy had gone viral on Twitter and was the Internet’s favorite dog.But the Murphy Aggie fans have grown used to seeing at Aggie Soccer Field for the last three seasons almost didn’t go home with Hamm when she found him at a Santa Rosa shelter. Hamm was in her first head coaching stop at Santa Rosa Junior College and had always wanted a dog. She went by a local shelter just to look one day.

We knew that we could establish our run game to then the pass offense.” Oakmont scored its final touchdown of the game with 4:01 left on the clock.

The Vikings had one more chance to score in the game. But the scoring opportunity ended with the ball sitting on the Davis 33-yard line when the quarter ended. Vaughn gave the Blue Devils a 6-0 lead on the team’s first offensive drive of the game. He scored on a 57-yard counter play in which his own teammates and Viking players only saw the back of him while he went to the end zone after breaking free from a host of Oakmont line backers.
