Race toward zero

California’s power grid facing a 15-fold increase in electric vehicles

As California rapidly boosts sales of electric cars and trucks over the next decade, the answer to a critical question remains uncertain: Will there be enough electricity to power them?

State officials claim that the 12.5 million electric vehicles

expected on California’s roads in 2035 will not strain the grid. But their confidence that the state can avoid brownouts relies on a best-case — some say unrealistic — scenario: massive and rapid construction of offshore wind and solar farms, and drivers charging their cars in offpeak hours.

Under a groundbreaking new state regulation, 35% of new

Special to The Enterprise

2026 car models sold in California must be zero-emissions, ramping up to 100% in 2035.

Powering the vehicles means the state must triple the amount of electricity produced and deploy new solar and wind energy at almost five times the pace of the past decade.

The Air Resources Board enacted the mandate last August — and just six days later,

California’s power grid was so taxed by heat waves that an unprecedented, 10-day emergency alert warned residents to cut electricity use or face outages. The juxtaposition of the mandate and the grid crisis sparked widespread skepticism: How can the state require Californians to buy electric cars if

The Celebration of Abraham, a longtime interfaith organization in Yolo County, extends an invitation to the whole community to join us for our 20th annual community conversation: “Caring for Our Earth, Caring for Each Other.”

Helen Roland, President of Celebration of Abraham explained, “It seemed fitting that our 20th anniversary community conversation theme revisits one of our earlier events of caring for creation, and at the same time expands to reflect a common thread in the Abrahamic faiths recognizing a relationship between stewardship for

City gets bad news on state of roads

The City Council received some bad news on Tuesday night — funds committed in 2020 to rehabilitate the city’s roads and bike paths will not be sufficient to bring the city’s pavement condition index up to the target set for 2029.

Back in 2020, the council received a report showing the city had the worst roads in the region, with a pavement condition index — the standard by which the quality of streets and bike paths is gauged — of 57, which was worse than virtually every city in the area, including that of Winters, Woodland, West Sacramento, Dixon and Sacramento.

The PCI index for bike paths — 52 — was even worse.

In response to the report, the council appointed a subcommittee of Councilwoman Gloria Partida and former Councilman Dan Carson to find ways to increase the annual pavement maintenance budget.

That subcommittee developed a funding strategy to increase the amount of money available for pavement rehabilitation, including by

School Board approves new contracts, gets an earful

The school board meeting on Thursday, Jan. 19, was highlighted by a surge of support for all LGBTQIA+ students in the Davis Joint Unified School District. With a large turnout, the audience was filled with signs denouncing hate and rallying for inclusivity and educational opportunities for all students regardless of their identity.

In the wake of Martin Luther King Day, the public comments echoed King’s sentiments of equality and acceptance. Individuals also stepped

up and expressed their gratitude to the school board for their efforts to create an educational environment within the DJUSD that is accepting and welcoming to students of all walks of life.

The meeting then moved to the 2022-23 local control accountability plan (LCAP) update.

In the update given by Interim Associate Superintendent, Troy Allen she dove into LCAP overview, student outcome data as well as the next steps. Alongside her review of the LCAP’s goals, Allen broke down data points

Take a dive into the Subnivean Zone

Have you ever watched a fox jump and dive headfirst into the snow? It can be an amusing sight, but the predator is actually hunting for its prey under the snow. Each winter, under the snowpack, a specialized climate is formed called the subnivean zone. This is where many small animals will spend their winter, protected from the elements and hiding from predators.

Subnivean comes from the Latin words for under (sub) and snow (niveus). As snow falls and accumulates it will begin to insulate the ground beneath it, keeping it warmer than the air above. The warm ground will heat the lowest level of the snow, transforming it into water vapor, and creating a small gap between the ground and the snowpack.

When the water vapor refreezes on the “roof” of the space, creating an ice layer, it gives structure to the space and further protects it

from the cold. The temperature in the subnivean zone is around 32 degrees, much warmer than the surface temperature, which drops well below freezing.

The subnivean zone is home to an assortment of small creatures including mice, shrews, voles and more. Small mammals lose heat much quicker than larger ones and are too small to handle the growth of a winter coat. During the winter, small mammals such as rodents do not migrate and instead seek protection elsewhere, in buildings, caves or the subnivean zone.

The animals that live under the snow will burrow and create more tunnels for living. They will have a nest chamber to rest and birth their young, chambers for storing food, and they have plenty of exit holes used for entry and exit, and also for air ventilation.

The subnivean zone isn’t without its dangers. The tunnels can flood or collapse, trapping the inhabitants. Too few air holes can reduce oxygen levels and cause too much carbon dioxide to build up and cause suffocation. They are

Police use Taser in downtown incident

Davis police officers used a Taser to subdue a man acting erratically in the downtown area Wednesday evening.

Lt. John Evans said officers responded shortly before 6 p.m. to reports of a man — later identified as Jacob Wilfred Otto

McGhee — who was yelling at people and punching car windows in the E Street Plaza.

“Officers contacted McGhee, who began challenging them to fight while removing his outer clothing including his jacket and shirt,” Evans said. Police attempted to de-escalate the situation, “but McGhee

kept coming, disobeying the officers’ orders to stop.”

At that point, one officer deployed a Taser “out of concern for their own safety, and he was safely taken into custody,” Evans said. McGhee, a 30-yearold Davis resident, was booked into the Yolo County Jail on felony threats charges.

Cops catch up with grand-theft suspect

Woodland police last week caught up with a grand-theft suspect who had eluded them during a prior vehicle pursuit.

Kimberly Johnson, 37, of Woodland, allegedly committed the grand theft at the Marshall’s store in east Woodland, then fled in her car from police, who terminated the chase due to unsafe speeds, Sgt. Victoria Danzl reported Friday.

Further investigation revealed the suspect, ultimately identified as Johnson, was on parole for a prior offense, Danzl said. Police and parole officers served a search warrant at her West Lincoln Avenue residence on the morning of Jan. 13, reportedly finding items taking during the theft.

Officers lodged Johnson in the Yolo County Jail on suspicion of grand theft, evading and conspiracy charges, as well as a parole violation.

also not fully protected from predators either.

Many predators, such as foxes, coyotes and owls, can hear the small animals moving through their tunnels and can make accurate dives into the snow to grab their prey.

Smaller predators such as stoats can enter the tunnels and hunt underground. This is where having many escape routes come in handy for the residents of the subnivean zone.

The subnivean zone is invisible from the surface. Luckily, activities such as skiing, and snowshoeing do not harm the subnivean zone. The next time you are exploring a winter wonderland, look for small rodent tracks, they may lead you to an opening to the subnivean zone.

On Tuesday, Jan. 24, at 7:30 p.m., thee Mondavi Center will host an allBeethoven program featuring three internationally famous musicians. Yo-Yo Ma is the most prominent living cellist, and Emanuel Ax is one of the top pianists in the classical field — the two of them established their careers by making making several highly regarded Beethoven recordings when they were recent graduates of the The Juilliard School back in the 1970s.

Joining them will be Greek violinist Leonidas Kavakos (who is some 15-20 years younger that Ma and Ax), who is one of the most widely respected violinists of his generation. All three of these performers have been the star of the show at past Mondavi concerts in the past. Their program together features

the Beethoven "Archduke" Trio, plus a piano trio version of Beethoven's Fourth Symphony (as arranged by contemporary American composer Shai Wosner).

Marga H. Hirst, a longtime resident of Davis, died on Dec. 31, 2022. She was 98.

Marga was a world traveler and fluent or conversant in multiple languages, including English, German, Hebrew, French, Arabic and Spanish. Shaped by her challenging childhood, she was a lifelong supporter of civil rights and the concept of public citizenship. She lived a remarkable life.

Born in 1924 to Alfred and Else (née Stern) Hirsch, Marga was the youngest daughter of a Jewish family that had lived in Germany since the 1600s, including the famous rabbi and scholar Samson Raphael Hirsch. In 1933, after Hitler came to power, Marga, her siblings, and her parents fled to Paris. Unable to remove their money or possessions from Germany, the family initially left with only the suitcases they could carry. Marga, 8 years old and unable to speak French, was placed with her twin brother

Stefan and older brother Enzio in a Parisian kindergarten.

Shortly thereafter, the family moved to Palestine, where they grew olives, and Alfred opened the Palestine Milling and Trading Company Ltd., a rice mill, in Haifa. The mill was a unique collaboration with Jews and their Arab friends and partners. Marga was sent to the English School for girls, where one day she was punished for hiding a halvah bar in her skirt. Undeterred, Marga’s lifelong love of halvah never diminished.

When the state of Israel was created, Marga was a teenager in Palestine. She spoke often of the excitement and challenges of that period, when her siblings and friends debated how a new country could be formed to represent the ideals of freedom, equality

June Walker Codone, age 90, of Pensacola, Fla., passed away surrounded by family on Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2023. June was born on June 22, 1932, in Pensacola to the late Robert and Daisy Williams Walker. In addition to her parents, June is preceded in death by her husband, George John Codone Sr.

June was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and homemaker. She graduated from Pensacola High School and attended Tennessee Temple University and Pensacola Junior College. She was an active member of Olive Baptist Church, lovingly devoting her time to Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, and Girls in Action. She loved quilting and was a member of the Quilting Club and was also on the Olive Bowling League. She was an avid Scrabble player and loved to spend time with her family and friends.

Those left to cherish her memory include her four children, Dianne McGraw (Alex) of New Orleans, Cindy Barrington (Mike) of Pensacola, Louis Codone of Napa, and George Codone Jr. (Susan) of Macon, Ga.; grandchildren Jennifer Rimes (Tyson) of Huntsville, Ala., Mark Hale, Jr. (Mandi) of Huntsville, Erin Codone of Atlanta, and Brynn and Connor Codone, both of Macon; and greatgranddaughter Quinn Rimes, of Huntsville.

A celebration of life service will begin at 9:30 a.m. Monday, Jan. 23, at Harper-Morris Memorial Chapel with Dr. Jerry Passmore officiating. A committal service will follow at Barrancas National Cemetery.

and democracy. Later, her lifelong interest in these principles led Marga to join and contribute to various civil rights groups, including a decades-long membership in Common Cause; to volunteer for Democratic liberal politicians, including Bella Abzug and Ramsey Clark; and to march with Martin Luther King Jr.

For a short time, Marga moved to Argentina to live with her older sister Elizabeth. In 1947, she immigrated to New York. Marga’s twin brother Stefan lived there and took Arthur Murray dance classes with Samuel Priest Hirst. Stefan introduced the couple and they married in 1956.

When Sam was 17, without his parents’ consent, he lied about his age and joined the Navy to fight in World War II. A few months later, while serving on the USS Kidd, the destroyer was hit by a kamikaze plane off the coast of Okinawa, and Sam was blinded and paralyzed. He eventually regained his mobility and vision in his remaining eye. Sam’s sacrifice drove Marga to become an

Dean Ryan died peacefully at the age of 96 on Oct. 31, 2022, at his home in Davis, where he had lived for 63 years. Dean was born in Independence, Kan., on the Fourth of July, 1926.

He attended Will Rogers High School in Tulsa, Okla., lettering in football, was captain of the wrestling and baseball teams, and was vice president of the senior class. He graduated in 1944 and entered the Naval Air Corps. It was while he was stationed in Corpus Christi, Texas, that he met Madeline Houlihan, from Ventura, Calif. They were married in Tulsa on June 18, 1946, and three days later he enrolled at the University of Illinois. There, he lettered in wrestling and graduated in 1948 with highest honors.

His first job was wrestling coach at the University of Illinois, Navy Pier, Chicago (1948-53). While there he received his master’s degree from Northwestern University. In 1953, he moved to coach wrestling at UC

Yolo Land Trust introduces new executive director

WOODLAND – Yolo Land Trust, the only nonprofit in Yolo County whose mission is to conserve farmland, hired John S. Currey, a longtime conservationist and farmer, as executive director.

“After an extensive nationwide search, YLT is pleased to have found such an exceptional candidate with local ties to the agriculture and conservation community,” the Land Trust said in a statement. Currey stepped into the executive director position after YLT’s longtime executive director, Michele Clark, retired on Jan. 9.

Currey has deep family connections to agriculture in Yolo and Solano Counties. He grew up on a farm in Solano County and is a graduate of UC Davis with a

bachelor’s degree in agricultural and managerial economics. Currey spent more than 20 years managing special districts providing irrigation, drainage and resourceconservation services to constituents in Solano, Yolo, Shasta and Tehama counties.

Prior to public service, Currey gained extensive work experience with crop and livestock production, managing agricultural operations, and as an organic farm inspector. He served on the Solano Land Trust’s Agricultural Conservation Easement Committee and the Board of Directors, where he developed a better understanding of the effective use of farmland conservation and strengthened his connections with the larger land conservation community.

“John’s exceptional background and experience makes him uniquely qualified to guide the YLT Board through the next level of growth for the organization” said Mary-Ann Warmerdam, president of the Board of Directors. “We are pleased he has joined us in our mission of conserving Yolo County’s farmland for future generations. On behalf of my fellow YLT board members and staff, we look forward to working with John.”

Currey is eager to apply his passion for land and resource conservation to further YLT’s mission of conserving farmland in Yolo County. “Conserving farmland for future generations is a critical part of our community’s backbone and economy,” he said.

“Producing food and fiber that feeds our community and the world starts with protecting the land and resources. I am looking forward to collaborating with landowners and farmers to ensure that existing and future conservation easements are an effective tool to conserve local farmland.”

The year 2023 also brings new board leadership with new officers. “A strong Board of Directors allows a nonprofit organization to best serve its community and make the most impact toward achieving its mission,” the news release said. YLT board leadership comprises 10 Yolo County community leaders who volunteer their time and provide guidance and support to the organization. Each member brings years of

professional and personal experience around agriculture, land use, and conservation practices.

Neal Van Alfen, retired dean of the UCD College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences, has completed his two-year term as president, but will remain on the board as a director. YLT has elected Mary-Ann Warmerdam, senior vice president of governmental affairs at Rural County Representatives of California, as President. Kathy Ward, retired from Bayer, has moved from treasurer to vice president, and Melissa Harlan, co-owner at Harlan Family Ranch, maintains her role as secretary. The treasurer position will be filled by Duncan MacEwan, principal economist at ERA Economics.

ROADS: ‘Dollar is just not going as far as we had hoped’

using community enhancement funds and General Fund revenue. An additional $31.1 million was identified on top of the $52.5 million already planned, and the council subsequently approved an $84 million, 10-year funding plan.

But on Tuesday, the council was told that “the previously identified funding amount will no longer be sufficient to reach the target PCI values by 2029.”

The target PCI goal for roads ranges from 60 for residential streets to 68 for arterials and 68 for bike and multi-use paths.

“In order to reach the target PCI for both streets and bike paths, the city

would need to spend $124.1 million over the next 10 years,” the city was told by staff and consultants Tuesday. “This is significantly more than the estimated amount needed in 2019/2020 to reach target PCI by 2029.

“Staff recommends that City Council consider ways to further increase the annual pavement maintenance budget.”

The reasons given for the funding shortfall include a large increase in construction costs (material, equipment and labor) over the past couple of years, as well as inflation, staff said.

“The dollar is just not going as far as we had hoped,” said Melissa Marshall, the city’s principal civil engineer. “Since 2019,

construction costs have increased quite a bit, about 20 percent within the city of Davis.”

Said City Manager Mike Webb: “The same dollars we were here talking to you about just two years ago get us less miles paved.”

“We need to be identifying and looking at much more significant dollar figures to invest in this infrastructure if we’re going to see it maintained, let alone improved, in its condition.”

On Tuesday night, staff recommended that the council create a revenue subcommittee to work with staff and the Finance and Budget Commission to develop further financing options, something the council agreed to do, appointing Partida and

Councilman Bapu Vaitla to that subcommittee.

Partida, a member of that original subcommittee, said even when that initial work was done to find additional funding, “we knew that there was going to have to be other ways to raise revenue to get to the place where we needed to be and it seems like that has come sooner than we thought.”

Meanwhile, according to a 2022 pavement survey, the city’s average street PCI is currently 57 (the same as in 2019) and bike path PCI is 50, down from 52 in 2019.

“(I)t was anticipated that the PCI for streets would be 61 in 2022 and that the bike path PCI would be 56 in 2022,” the staff report

GRID: Big changes are coming, ready or not

From Page A1

the grid couldn’t even supply enough power to make it through the summer?

At the same time as electrifying cars and trucks, California must, under state law, shift all of its power to renewables by 2045. Adding even more pressure, the state’s last nuclear power plant, Diablo Canyon, is slated to shut down in 2030.

With 15 times more electric cars expected on California’s roads by 2035, the amount of power they consume will grow exponentially. But the California Energy Commission says it will remain a small fraction of all the power used during peak hours — jumping from 1% in 2022 to 5% in 2030 and 10% in 2035.

“We have confidence now” that electricity will meet future demand “and we’re able to plan for it,”

said Quentin Gee, a California Energy Commission supervisor who forecasts transportation energy demand.

But in setting those projections, the state agencies responsible for providing electricity — the California Energy Commission, the California Independent System Operator and the California Public Utilities Commission — and utility companies are relying on multiple assumptions that are highly uncertain.

“We’re going to have to expand the grid at a radically much faster rate,” said David Victor, a professor and co-director of the Deep Decarbonization Initiative at UC San Diego.

Yet the Energy Commission has not yet developed such policies or plans, drawing intense criticism from energy experts and legislators. Failing to provide enough power quickly

enough could jeopardize California’s clean-car mandate — thwarting its efforts to combat climate change and clean up its smoggy air.

“We are not yet on track. If we just take a laissezfaire approach with the market, then we will not get there,” said Sascha von Meier, a retired UC Berkeley electrical engineering professor who specializes in power grids.

The twin goals of ramping up zero-emission vehicle sales and achieving a carbon-free future can only be accomplished, Victor said, if several factors align:

n Drivers to charge their cars during off-peak hours: With new discounted rates, utilities are urging residents to avoid charging their cars between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m.

n Build solar and wind at an unprecedented pace: Shifting to all renewables requires at least 6 gigawatts

of new resources a year for the next 25 years — a pace that’s never been met before.

n Develop a giant new industry: State officials predict that offshore wind farms will provide enough power for about 1.5 million homes by 2030 and 25 million homes by 2045. But no such projects are in the works yet.

n Build 15 times more public chargers: About 1.2 million chargers will be needed for the 8 million electric cars expected in California by 2030. About 80,000 operate statewide.

prepared for Tuesday’s council meeting noted.

“We are still below the statewide average,” added Marshall. “The average PCI is 66. We’re at 57.”

Partida said she was “hoping to see this increase in the PCI over these years because there’s been a lot of work. You can see the work that’s being done. But I

guess that we were in such a bad place and we would have been in a worse place if we hadn’t put all that effort in.”

“We need to find some money,” she added.

BOARD: Meeting flooded with advocates for inclusivity

From

regarding overall achievements, chronic absenteeism, low suspension rates, English language arts, mathematics, English learner development, parent education and graduation rates that have increased overall by 2.5% in 2022.

“The Learning Institute published findings in 2019 and they identified school networks that improve measurable student outcomes for our country’s most vulnerable youth. Their findings were that students that engage in schools that promote deeper learning reliably show a closing of the opportunity gap in comparison to other schools,” said Allen. “Their research points us to models that adhere to a fostering of critical thinking, collaboration, communication, inquiry, motivation and a growth mindset. Which are remarkably parallel to the competencies described in the graduate profile.”

Following suit was the public disclosure regarding compensation for the Davis Teachers Association. Before the presentation was given by Associate Superintendent, Amari Watkins, Superintendent, Matt Best gave a shoutout to the DTA and DJUSD negotiation team for their tireless efforts. Watkins gave an overview of the agreement stating that it’s

for a specific salary schedule and benefit cap increases for DTA positions with the cost of the agreement in 2022-23 being at $1.5 million one-time and $4 million ongoing, totaling at $5.5 million — or 9.4%.

“The first interim budget approved by the board in Dec included a boardcommitted fund balance to fund the projected costs of collective bargaining in the current and subsequent years,” said Watkins. “The tentative agreement, as well as the AB-1200 disclosure, were provided to the county office of education upon their request and in accordance with the law.”

The following tentative agreement vote was a big first step forward in — as Best stated — getting the employees paid. Before the vote, Best invited DTA president, Victor Lagunes to express his sentiments.

“I think that this is a moment we wanted to get to the whole time and I want to take the moment to acknowledge the support within the families, students and members of the community that we had that are also in support of CSCA contract negotiations and hope that, that becomes quite clear as to where people’s values are in terms of making sure we prioritize the people that we need in order to do the things that we want to do,” said Lagunes.

“Ultimately, I’m really

pleased that we’re coming to this agreement. Obviously, I’m assuming you’re going to pass it right now, but being with that assumption in place, I think that we can learn that from this there will be a new budget and it’s coming out now and sure, it can look good, and we’ll go right back into negotiations and that is the way of these things. But I think that as long as those conversations are transparent, are public and that we’re ultimately talking about the things that matter most, which is providing for our students, then we’re always going to find those agreements.”

After a unanimous vote, the agreement between the DTA and DJUSD was finalized.

After that was the public disclosure regarding the compensation for the Administration Leadership Team. Associate Superintendent, Watkins gave her report stating the changes proposed are for specific salary schedule and benefit cap increases. She also stated the cost of these changes in 2022-23 is $225,000 for one time and $605,000 ongoing, totaling at $830,000 — or 9.4%.

Prior to the vote was an opportunity for the public to speak. Brendan White took to the podium and criticized the entire board, stating that now was not the right time to be extending any of the administration’s contracts. He went on

to mention a name that he claims the board never mentions in their meetings — Max Benson.

The 13-year-old Benson, a former Birch Lane Elementary student who was autistic, died in 2018, two days after being restrained by staff and losing consciousness at Guiding Hands School, a private school in El Dorado Hills. A report in December by the federal Department of Education determined that the Davis school district

violated the Section 504 and Title II rights of three of its disabled students placed in nonpublic schools. Three educators from Guiding Hands will be facing trial starting Feb. 28.

White claimed Benson died under the DJUSD administration team’s watch and reprimanded them for being hypocrites in their claims of “all belonging.”

Following the comments, there was a unanimous

vote to approve the employment contract extension for Superintendent Matt Best and associate superintendent Laura Juanitas, and a contract amendment for associate superintendent of administrative services Julie Corona.

The board also voted to approve the employment contract for Troy Allen as the interim associate superintendent.

With that, the meeting came to an end with the next scheduled for Feb. 2.

sports League realignment can be tricky

Now that the Sac-Joaquin Section revealed its 2024-28 league realignment cycle, here is a look and thoughts regarding the first public meeting held in six years.

The first public meeting was held Tuesday at The Reserve at Spanos Park in Stockton.

One thing about league realignment: It can be tricky.

n First off, the section staff put in many hours constructing its first plan for Divisions I through VII.

Once the first plan is presented to high school athletic directors, administrators and the public, more than 90 percent of the time that plan is going to stay in place.

This means that the section did its homework in preparing its plan. Whether it’s initially likeable or not. Give the section staff a B-plus. n Since 2014, Davis has been a member of the Delta League. Part of the league with DHS are Elk Grove schools in Cosumnes Oaks, Elk Grove, Franklin, Pleasant Grove, Sheldon, plus all-boys school Jesuit and all-girls school St. Francis.

Under the first plan, DHS would be

moved to the Sierra Foothill League, one of the three Division I leagues in the section. The new-look SFL would have DHS, plus Jesuit and St. Francis, join Del Oro of Loomis, Folsom, Granite Bay, Oak Ridge of El Dorado Hills, Rocklin and Whitney of Rocklin.

One item to note from Tuesday’s meeting is that Del Oro, which has been very strong in football and wrestling in D-I and D-II for more than decade, wants out of the SFL. Steve Birch, a representative for the school, cited declining enrollment and most of the school’s athletic programs having limited success in most sports.

Davis fields more athletic programs than the bulk of the Elk Grove high schools currently in the Delta. Ergo,

DHS joining the SFL would be perfect. In particular for the Blue Devils’ water polo programs.

But — maybe not for the DHS football program.

Davis played at Granite Bay in a nonleague game last season. Final score: Granite Bay 74, DHS 6.

The two teams played each other in 2021. Final score: Granite Bay 56, DHS 13.

During that same season, Davis played Rocklin at the Thunder’s field. Rocklin 69, DHS 6.

Davis fields only varsity and junior varsity football teams. The rest of the SFL field varsity, JV and freshman football squads.

How about putting DHS football in the Metro Conference, which is D-II, for the 2024 and 2025 seasons? The current plan has Cordova, Grant, Inderkum, Kennedy and McClatchy of Sacramento and River City of West Sacramento in the conference.

Should DHS have winning records both seasons, move back to the new-look Delta, which has Cosumnes Oaks, Elk Grove, Franklin, Laguna Creek and Monterey Trail — both from the Metro

— Pleasant Grove and Sheldon. An eight-school league for football in 2026 and 2027. Capital Christian of Sacramento is proposed to join the Delta but only for boys basketball.

n The Capital Athletic League is being dissolved for the 2024-28 cycle. The section is opting for six and eight-school leagues.

n If DHS was placed in the Metro Conference for football only, consider moving Bella Vista of Fair Oaks into the conference as well.

Bella Vista is a member of the Capital Valley Conference, now and in the first plan. The school is solid in most of its athletic programs - except football. The Metro would have eight for football, counting Davis and Bella Vista.

n Lincoln of Lincoln and Twelve Bridges, which is Lincoln’s second high school, should be in the same league.

The first plan has Lincoln in the Pioneer Valley League, which is D-V. Lincoln is in the Foothill Valley League, which is D-III.

Twelve Bridges, currently in the PVL, is moved to the Golden Empire League

Aggie on the CoUrt

Women’s hoops wins on the road

RIVERSIDE — The UC Davis women’s basketball team got back in the win column and notched its third victory in Big West Conference play when forward Megan Norris led the way to a 60-48 win over hosts UC Riverside.

UC Davis (3-4 in the Big West, 7-10 overall) was dominant from start to finish in a brilliant offensive display that saw the Aggies deliver their most efficient shooting night of the season. The Aggies moved the ball extremely effectively as they were constantly finding open looks, posting a season-best field goal percentage of 52.1 percent while registering their second-best mark from beyond the arc at 42.1 percent.

Norris put in an excellent performance on both ends of the floor as she picked up her second double-double of the year, pouring in 14 points and grabbing a careerhigh 13 rebounds. She was 6-of-7 from the field and 2-of-3 from the 3-point range.

Earning her second start of the season, guard Tova Sabel also reached double figures with 14 points and five rebounds on 6-of-14 shooting.

Aggies guard Evanne Turner dropped nine points while going 4-of-8 from the floor and Mazatlan Harris chipped in with eight point and three boards.

UC Davis controlled the glass, outrebounding the Highlanders 45-22 and clamped down the defensive end, holding the hosts to 30.6 percent from the floor.

The Aggies came out firing in the opening period as Norris buried her first 3-ball of the night to give her team an early lead. Norris dropped in a layup in transition following a Turner jumper and the Aggies found themselves leading by seven points.

UC Davis extended the lead to double-digits in the second quarter after an 8-0 sparked by baskets from See HOOPS, Back page

Pepper continues growth with team

From Selah Washington High star, to one of the perennial UC Davis men’s basketball players, Elijah Pepper reached a milestone not many collegiate athletes achieve.

A former NBA player and a member of his family played a role along the way of his development on the court.

That being, Pepper’s accumulation of over 1,000 total-points and counting.

Additionally, prior to this season, Pepper was named on the Preseason 2022-23 All-Coaches Team.

After averaging a career-high, in both points with 15.1 and rebounds with 5.4 per game his junior season. But, before Pepper was named to the All-Coaches team, he received All-Big West Conference Second Team honors, that season

and the previous season.

In his junior season, Pepper had a game against the University of the Pacific in which he had 30 points and shot six of 11 from 3-point range.

But, during his electric sophomore year, Pepper was also named Big West Player of the Week in February 2021. He averaged 14.7 points, five rebounds and shot an incredible 44.6 percent from 3-point range.

“He’s an elite level shooter, he can get hot and make shots from anywhere on the floor,” said UC Davis head coach Jim Les.

Les has coached Pepper through his UC Davis career and personally witnessed his development. Les gave notice to Peppers scoring ability, but also credits how his competitiveness impacts the teams culture and growth.

“He raises the level of the people around him. When your best player

works that hard, who’s anybody else to take a day off,” said Les on Pepper’s biggest contributions to the team and culture.

Les adds Pepper sets the visual example of what Aggie basketball looks like. Needless to say, the work speaks for itself.

But, many don’t know what it took for Pepper to develop his competitiveness and scoring ability.

At a young age, Pepper was exposed to basketball by way of his father Ryan, who was a collegiate basketball player also at the guard position at Central Washington University.

Then later overseas for the Hobart Chargers in Australia where Elijah was born, specifically in Shepparton. While living in Australia, Elijah would go to watch his father’s games.

It was at the age of two that he

Kids need more mental-health services

Despite California’s unprecedented investment in child and family wellbeing, the gap between promising policies on paper and what they actually accomplish for young people and families has never felt so vast.

My children, former foster youth living with complex medical needs, are considered high priority for behavioral health care and yet still have waiting times for services measured in months and — on more than one occasion — years.

I have a lot of privilege and experience working in health care that spans decades. But despite my understanding of the necessary health policies, I am unable to access behavioral health care for my children in a timely manner, if at all.

I can only imagine what it is like for families with less understanding and fewer resources to navigate this system.

While at a recent meeting citing the U.S. Surgeon General’s 2021 report warning that youth mental health had become a “devastating” crisis, I was already a few months into my attempt to get my 15-yearold daughter back into medical care for her ADHD and depression. Her psychiatry referral had been in place since she was 12, but it was inexplicably closed due to an apparent paperwork glitch. We were told we would have to restart the entire process.

So while I appreciate Instagram posts raising awareness of adolescent mental health, and applaud efforts to highlight the disparities Black children (like my daughters) face in terms of elevated risks for depression and anxiety, I also know firsthand that the system is deeply flawed.

This is especially true for families like ours who are insured through Medi-Cal. At best, Medi-Cal’s behavioral health services are hard to access. Most of the time they are a vast sieve through which children and families are lost by no fault of their own.

This is not a new problem. When my youngest daughter was diagnosed with a debilitating and incurable disease at 5 years old, I asked her pediatrician how I could access behavioral health resources to build her resiliency and support our family.

Unfortunately, my daughter needed a mental health diagnosis to get those services through Medi-Cal, which required a longer wait.

There was no preventive care available for her or our family.

While that particular policy changed last year and now children with Medi-Cal who are system-involved or have experienced trauma theoretically have access to benefits, the ability to actually receive care has not materially improved.

My same daughter, now 14, was diagnosed with post-viral syndrome after COVID, and her symptoms exacerbated her existing illness, triggering the onset of depression and anxiety. Her pediatrician (who is fantastic) told me there were no more pediatric psychiatry referrals available through the practice, but if she became a danger to herself I could call 911 or visit urgent care.

As a former therapist, I know that when children — especially adolescents — tell you they are suffering, there is a critical window of opportunity for treatment that cannot be delayed. And yet all California’s mental health system could do was tell me to wait.

Our children are not OK. We need something better than hotlines, first responders and local hospitals as a safety net. State leaders must acknowledge the depths of the current emergency and support the mental health needs of our system-involved youth, who are some of the most vulnerable populations in our state.

Specifically, the state needs to allocate dedicated, non-federal funding to counties in this year’s budget to move the promising new Specialty Mental Health Services eligibility criteria policy into practice.

Transit heads toward ‘fiscal cliff’

California utopians, including those holding public office, envision a state that by 2045 will have achieved zero net emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.

The largest source of those emissions is transportation — the cars, trucks, buses, airplanes and railroad engines that carry Californians, the goods they need to live and the inputs and outputs of the state’s $3.4 trillion economy.

To that end, the California Air Resources Control Board has issued seemingly countless decrees, including one that would ban the sale of autos with gas- or dieselpowered engines by 2035.

Public transit is central to the state’s hopes of reducing transportation emissions. Officials want more Californians to park their cars — or not buy them in the first place — and use buses and light and heavy rail systems for commutes and other personal trips.

Despite those hopes, transit ridership is going the other way, and transit system operators and advocates are using terms such as “fiscal cliff” and “death spiral” as farebox revenues decline and there is greater demand for taxpayer money to shore up

their operations.

Transit usage cratered when the COVID-19 pandemic hit the state three years ago and millions of workers either lost their jobs or shifted to working at home. Ridership picked up a bit when pandemic closures eased and employment finally returned to pre-pandemic levels. However, the California Transit Association says that as of the third quarter of 2022, overall ridership was averaging just two-thirds of what it had been prior to the pandemic.

“Some agencies have returned to pre-pandemic ridership levels and above, while others continue to struggle with ridership counts that are one-third of previous totals,” the organization says in a new “strategic plan” it unveiled in December.

The plan “comes at a moment when our industry

PG&E rate hikes

PG&E’s four years of rate hikes should be opposed. Following a 9% increase in rates last year, PG&E has requested another 18% increase this year with continuing rate increases through 2026 to reach rates 40% (electricity) and nearly 60% (gas) greater than 2021 rates. Such large increases will bring many households and business to the brink.

The rate increases will primarily fund the undergrounding of thousands of miles of power lines. While undergrounding is effective, it is the most expensive form of wildfire mitigation and is a type of capital spending that boosts profits. If PG&E were concerned with safety it would correct the cause of PG&E wildfires: negligence in maintenance and inspection of equipment, using its Operating Funds. PG&E’s plan is open ended on the extent of undergrounding, on costs, on a time to completion. PG&E is known to hold up and even divert funds from their intended uses.

These arguments are detailed with documentation in a petition to the Public Advocate/CPUC for their support opposing PG&E’s four year plan. This petition is posted on change.org (http://

faces serious existential threats — slow ridership recovery, a fiscal cliff, and a widening workforce gap,” Karen King, who chairs the organization’s executive committee, said.

The plan makes obtaining more financial support, particularly from the state, its highest priority, citing not only declines in ridership and operational revenue, but the state’s mandate that it get rid of its hydrocarbon-fueled buses and replace them with battery-powered vehicles. The cost of zero-emission buses and the infrastructure to operate them is tabbed at more than $11.6 billion.

Three weeks after the plan was released, Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed a new budget for the 2023-24 fiscal year with spending reductions to close what he said was a $22.5 billion deficit, thanks to a projected decline in revenues.

Transit officials and their supporters didn’t like the budget’s treatment of transit, particularly a $2 billion reduction in transit infrastructure. The industry’s top legislative advocate, Scott Wiener, a Democratic state senator from San Francisco,

Democratic values

I completely agree with Sarah Pattison (Enterprise, Jan. 15) that we need to stand up for democratic values. That is precisely why I stand up for Israel. Unfortunately, however, when it comes to Israel and the Palestinians, J Street’s Pattison is egregiously misinformed beginning with her description of the “millions of Palestinians who live under Israel authority without civil and political rights.”

Where are those millions? Hamas has governed Gaza since 2007. The PLO took control over most of the Palestinian population of the “West Bank” in 1994, and elections have been held there off and on ever since for president, the Palestinian National Council, and local municipalities.

I say off and on because as Pattison may not know, Palestinian elections occur at the whim of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas who is beginning the 19th year of the four-year term to which he was elected on Jan. 9, 2005 (he has forbidden all presidential elections since). Democratic values are not alive and well in Ramallah.

pledged to seek restoration of the funds and more money to cover transit’s revenue declines.

Wiener said, “We must not let our public transportation systems go over the impending fiscal cliff and enter a death spiral – where budget shortfalls lead to service cuts that lead to ridership drops that lead to further budget shortfalls and service cuts. The state must serve as a financial back-stop against this fiscal cliff to ensure our transit systems survive.”

The transit dilemma typifies the conflicts and tradeoffs that permeate the state’s hopes for achieving carbon neutrality 22 years hence. As a recent CalMatters analysis of the state’s ambitious but tortured plans to rid itself of hydrocarbon-fueled cars underscores, it’s one thing to declare such a goal on paper, but it’s quite another to make it reality when the precise steps needed are complicated, time-consuming and expensive.

— CalMatters is a publicinterest journalism venture committed to explaining how California's state Capitol works and why it matters. For more stories by Dan Walters, go to Commentary.

This past November in a vibrant display of democracy, 40 political parties vied for votes in the latest Israeli election. A near record 70% of all Israelis went to the polls. The previous Coalition was voted out, and as Pattison points out, a conservative Benjamin Netanyahu-led Coalition was voted in.

Pattison fails to point out that this result was directly because of the huge increase in Palestinian terror during the time of the previous government. 7,386 attacks (shootings, stabbings, runovers, Molotovs, IEDs, and rocks) were carried out in 2022 alone. 31 Israelis were murdered.

Pattison calls the policies of the new government “highly destructive.”

In fact, it has pledged to create a level playing field between the Knesset and the Supreme Court, safeguard the rights of women and LGBTQ+ people (Amir Ohana just became speaker of the Knesset, the first gay man to hold this powerful position), restore the educational curriculum that was dismantled by the previous government, and advance the rights of Israelis living in Area C of Judea and Samaria.

There is nothing undemocratic, destructive or radical about any of these positions. Standing with Israel means standing for democratic values.

Op-Ed

Going green a palpable need but tough transition

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — I first heard about global warming being attributable to human activity about 50 years ago. Back then, it was just a curiosity, a matter of academic discussion. It didn’t engage the environmental movement, which marshaled opposition to nuclear and firmly advocated coal as an alternative.

Twenty years on, there was concern about global warming. I heard competing arguments about the threat at many locations, from Columbia University to the Aspen Institute. There was conflicting data from NASA and other federal entities. No action was proposed.

The issue might have crystallized earlier if it hadn’t been that between 1973 and 1989, the great concern was energy supply. The threat to humanity wasn’t the abundance of fossil fuels. It was the fear that there weren’t enough of them.

The solar and wind industries grew not as an alternative but rather as a substitution. Today,

commenTary

they are the alternative.

Now, the world faces a more fearsome future: global warming and all of its consequences. These are on view: sea-level rise, droughts, floods, extreme cold, excessive heat, severe out-of-season storms, fires, water shortages, and crop failures.

Sea-level rise affects the very existence of many small island nations, as the prime minister of Tonga, Siaosi Slavonia, made clear here at the annual assembly of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), an intergovernmental group with 167 member nations.

It also affects densely populated countries like Bangladesh, where large, low-lying areas may be flooded, driving off people and destroying agricultural land. Salt works on food, not on food crops.

Sea-level rise threatens the U.S. coasts — the problem is most acute for cities such as Boston, New York, Miami, Charleston, Galveston and San Mateo. Flooding first, then submergence.

How does human catastrophe begin? Sometimes it is sudden and explosive, like an earthquake. Sometimes it advertises its arrival ahead of time. So it is with the Earth’s warming.

Delegates at the IRENA assembly felt that the bell of climate catastrophe tolls for their countries and their families. There was none of the disputations that normally attend climate discussions. Unity was a feature of this one.

The challenge was framed articulately and succinctly by John Kerry, U.S. special presidential envoy for climate. Kerry’s points:

n Global warming is real, and the evidence is everywhere.

n The world can’t reach its Paris Agreement goal of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2030 or the ultimate one of net-zero carbon by 2050 unless drastic action is taken.

n Warming won’t be reversed by economically weak countries but rather by rich ones, which are most responsible for it. Kerry said 120 less-developed countries produce only 1 percent of the greenhouse gases while the

20 richest produce 80 percent.

n Kerry, notably, declared that the technologies for climate remediation must come from the private sector. He wants business and private investment mobilized.

The emphasis at this assembly has been on wind, solar and green hydrogen. Wave power and geothermal have been mentioned mostly in passing. Nuclear got no hearing. This may be because it isn’t renewable technically. But it does offer the possibility for vast amounts of carbon-free electricity. It is classed as a “green” source by many government institutions and is now embraced by many environmentalists.

The fact that this conference has been held here is of more than passing interest. Prima facie, Abu Dhabi is striving to go green. It has made a huge solar commitment to the Al Dhafra project. When finished, it will be the world’s largest single solar facility. Abu Dhabi is also installing a few wind turbines.

Abu Dhabi has a four-unit nuclear power plant at Barakah, with two 1,400-megawatt units

online, one in testing and one under construction. Yet, the emirate is a major oil producer and is planning to expand its production from more than 3 million barrels daily to 5 million barrels.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has made oil more valuable, and even states preparing for a day when oil demand will drop are responding. Abu Dhabi isn’t alone in this seeming contradiction between purpose and practice. Green-conscious Britain is opening a new coal mine.

The energy transition has its challenges — even in the face of commitment and palpable need. The delegates who attended this all-round excellent conference will find that when they get home.

In the United States, utilities are grappling with the challenge of not destabilizing the grid while pressing ahead with renewables. Lights on, carbon out, is tricky.

Ukraine’s future: peace through war?

Hopes and realities ...

Ukraine’s President Zelensky had a fairly successful visit to Washington last month, returning home with promises of more American weapons and unqualified US backing for Ukraine’s war effort. Zelensky’s sales pitch, that the war is an investment rather than a charity, went over very well in Congress.

But questions remain, such as how long that investment will continue and when (if ever) will the war move into a negotiating phase. Zelensky no doubt is attuned to two slow-moving trends in American opinion that his country will have to confront sooner or later: one on the far right, which wants to substantially reduce aid to Ukraine, and on the left, which demands negotiations with Russia. Both those paths seem closed for the foreseeable future.

Zelensky’s own hopes, which may or may not have been a subject of discussion with President Biden, is for future protection from Russia, which includes Ukraine membership in NATO. He said several months ago: “De facto, we have already made our way to NATO. We have already proven our compatibility with alliance standards.”

He also said: “This is an alliance, de facto. Today, Ukraine is applying to make it de jure.” But he backed down later, acknowledging that his country needed to accept that it might never join NATO.

And with good reason: The very idea of Ukraine in NATO faces some unpleasant realities.

First, Ukraine does not have French, German, U.S., and probably other members’ support for membership.

Second, when Sweden and Finland decided to apply for membership earlier this year, they were immediately green-lighted to apply. Moscow considered that a provocation, but imagine how much more of a provocation Ukraine’s membership in NATO would be.

Third, and probably most important, the NATO treaty would require that all members contribute to driving Russia out of Ukraine — a fullscale U.S. and European intervention that would mean war with Russia.

Some experts now talk about a postwar security guarantee for Ukraine in lieu of a treaty, but that too would raise the risk of a wider war.

Even though Ukraine cannot join NATO, it makes a plausible argument that it is performing NATO’s mission: defeating Russian aggression. But that is an argument for prolonged war and no negotiations with Russia.

In Europe, opinion polls show only a slight erosion of public support for arming Ukraine. “A new survey by eupinions, a platform for European public opinion, found that 57 percent of Europeans, down from 60 percent in the summer and 64 percent in March, still support sending arms to Ukraine."

Few Europeans seem to buy Putin’s arguments; even the new Italian right-wing leadership firmly supports Ukraine. Yet one can detect a slow erosion of support for Ukraine, and the longer the war goes on, the more will that erosion continue.

Meanwhile, support in the U.N. for negotiating peace is far from firm. To be sure, in October 66 U.N. members voted in favor of a cease-fire and immediate talks between Ukraine and Russia.

However, no country offered a plan for implementing a cease-fire, which the U.N. secretary-general himself discounted as a prospect. Nor was any opinion offered about how to induce either Kyiv or Moscow to accept a cease-fire, or what its ground rules might be, for how long it would be in effect, and on what basis it might lead to negotiations.

Recently, Vladimir Putin again said he is interested in peace talks. But the Russians have created insuperable obstacles to peace by violating the U.N. Charter's Article 2 on the use of force against another state. (They are also accused of violating a U.N. sanction on Iran’s sale of drones that Russia is now using in the war).

Moreover, by occupying Ukrainian territory and declaring it their own,

by intimating that use of nuclear weapons is conceivable, and by dramatically increasing the number of soldiers being sent to the front, the Russians also are in violation of the Charter's Article 33, which calls for the peaceful resolution of disputes. Few of those 66 U.N. delegates recited the list of Russian violations of the Charter and international law, and some of them — specifically India — were outright hypocritical in saying that their country took no side other than the side of peace. Those observers who see India, or China, as a potential broker are whistling in the wind.

Peace through war is not the way

A recent op-ed in the Washington Post gives insight to the mindset of the U.S. foreign-policy elite. Former secretary of state Condoleezza Rice and former defense secretary Robert Gates propose that “the way to avoid confrontation with Russia in the future is to help Ukraine push back the invader now.”

Arguing that Putin’s ambitions for restoring the Russian empire will never be thwarted by negotiating peace, Rice and Gates call for more, “dramatically” more, weapons shipments to Ukraine. Ukraine, they acknowledge, is America’s and NATO’s proxy for defending the West.

Yet they also acknowledge the terrible destruction war has wreaked on Ukraine, making it totally dependent on outside aid. Their solution is frankly unconscionable: Let Ukraine’s people suffer even more so that the country can defeat Russia and reclaim all Ukrainian territory. Morally and logically, that is no solution at all.

Supporters of a negotiated peace in Ukraine need to do a much better job of promoting the idea. It is not enough to keep calling for peace when one of the warring parties is an aggressor state.

What would be the parameters of negotiations? How would a cease-fire preliminary to talks be supervised? And what are the substantive issues to negotiate given that neither the Russians nor the Ukrainians are willing to yield territory or accept arms control?

These are among the reasons I keep reminding people, unhappily, that not all wars end in peace settlements. Some wars are interminable, and only “end” when one party is exhausted or, hopefully for Russia, changes course when the regime changes.

That is not a near-term solution, but peace through war is worse still.

Is there a negotiated path to peace?

My words get published somewhere new

As long as they’re not too scary, I like unexpected experiences. They often show me something I haven’t noticed in day-to-day life.

The unexpected experience that I’m writing about today was particularly pithy because I learned about a desire of mine, perhaps shared by others, that I didn’t recognize before.

My story begins with an article I read in the Dec. 5 edition of the New Yorker magazine titled, “Endgame: How the visionary hospice movement became a forprofit hustle.” I have been a volunteer at YoloCares — formerly Yolo Hospice — for almost 20 years, first working with patients and now serving on the board of directors as well.

I’ve been close to the action as the phenomenon described in the New Yorker exploded. Companies large and small figured out how to use Medicare’s hospice reimbursement to make money. Some of those companies are big players, such as the largest for-profit hospice, Vitas, which is owned by the Chemed Corporation, a conglomerate that also owns RotoRooter.

I’m sure that many nurses and staff working for companies like Vitas are as kind as any health

worker I’ve ever met, but when their employer’s objective is to make money, corners might be cut.

That’s what the New Yorker article described, noting that some for-profit hospices send staffers to pound the pavement and drum up new business, even enrolling people who are not nearing death.

Unfortunately, the New Yorker article itself was far from perfect. It devoted a lot of space to one idiosyncratic legal case and did almost nothing to show what nonprofit hospices offer that forprofits do not. As soon as I finished reading, I picked up my cell phone, clicked on “voice” and recorded the beginnings of a letter to the editor.

I do this occasionally when I feel strongly about something, but my writing disappears into my cell phone, never to be seen again.

This time, however, I went back to it. People need to know that they can choose any hospice they want, even if they were treated by a particular hospital or belong to a specific medical group. At the moment when they make the choice, they are under pressure, so it is best if they learn early about nonprofits.

I sent my draft letter to a trusted colleague at YoloCares and when he voiced approval, I emailed it to the New Yorker.

Then I forgot about it. I’ve sent letters to various outlets over the years and, like most people, I usually get rejected.

But two weeks later I received an email from the New Yorker marked “time sensitive.” A person who addressed me as “Marion” and signed himself “Dennis” as if we knew each other said my letter was being considered for publication. Would I approve his shortened version?

His changes were few, but he took out the word “heartfelt.” Could I let that go?

Yes.

It turned out that I could shove “heartfelt” into the wings because my ego had stepped on stage. My letter might be published? Suddenly I was Speaker Kevin McCarthy, willing to agree

to anything to grab the brass ring.

After I OK’d the editorial changes, silence fell in my email but not in my head, where thoughts were pumping like a river in flood.

The main thing I was thinking about was how wonderful it would be if publication of my letter might mean hearing from someone in my past.

Does my old Harvard friend John read the New Yorker and would he see my letter and write to me? Would someone from high school take time to look up my address and send a message?

With a high-circulation magazine like the New Yorker, that could happen.

Soon my effort to help nonprofit hospices wasn’t as important to me as receiving unexpected messages, which shows how shallow a writer can be.

Finally, on Dec. 26, my letter appeared online and I learned it would be printed in the Jan 2 and 9 issue. My letter was really going out into the world.

It was accompanied on the letters page by three other missives written by people who also

support nonprofit hospice. My letter was shortest and last.

I quickly heard from a former Enterprise reader who lives out of town. Then a friend from Napa emailed me. When I told local friends, they got excited and congratulated me, and the board at YoloCares applauded. An old friend dropped by an extra copy of the magazine.

I enjoyed these things, and because I feel strongly about the value of nonprofit hospices, I was happy my letter was being read. But a surprisingly big part of me was waiting for that special letter or email from someone in my past. I began to wonder if this is something all of us yearn for, to be rediscovered by a person who remembers you as a young person and might help you see who you are now.

The desire for that reconnection is mighty powerful in me. Might I hear from a teacher, a neighbor, an old boyfriend?

I am listening for that unexpected voice from the past that will surely find me.

It has been three weeks now. I’ll wait.

Fritter has been saving towards a summer visit to Six Wags Amusement Park. His goal is to save and earn a total of $100. Fritter is now up to $97.50!

Can you help Fritter count out the correct change for his customers?

Tonya bought a glass of lemonade plus two cookies. She paid with two dollars. Circle the coins Fritter should give her in change.

Lien-hua bought a bag of peanuts, a glass of lemonade and a copy of Kid Scoop. She paid with a $5 bill. Circle the bills and coins Fritter should give her in change.

Don’t rule out a career too soon

Dear Annie: Kids today are pushed too early to make career decisions. The first two years of college are a good time to take different courses to see where one’s interest lies. A major can easily be declared as a junior, and ample credits can be accumulated in that discipline in the last couple of years.

I took a career test in school that said I should be a forest ranger. Instead, I became a nurse with a business degree. One son thought his major would be math, but he ended up with an English degree. A daughter initially failed a Spanish test, but she graduated with a major in Spanish and linguistics. Another son has a degree in psychology, but he is building houses today. A grandson who struggled with math all through school is getting his masters in financial counseling.

We push too hard and too soon, and few people going to college are ready to make decisions about their future without further life experience. Many people change careers more than once in their adult lives.

Career counseling has its place. A neighbor’s son was dissatisfied after the degree he chose and the job it led to after college graduation. He then became a successful car salesman. We seem to be rushing kids into adulthood and perhaps inappropriate decision-making way too soon. The adult brain isn’t fully formed until around age 25. It’s OK to take time to decide.

— Stressed-Out Students

Dear Stressed-Out Students: There is much to be said for having a well-rounded education and not specializing at too young an age. It is very insightful of you to celebrate the fact that so many of what appeared to be your children’s failings ended up, one way or another, becoming some of their greatest accomplishments. Being patient and kind with ourselves will make us more patient and kind with students, allowing them to live the full experience of life.

Dear Annie: Guardianships save lives! With a guardianship, anyone can be confined in a safe environment. Using their financial information, i.e., bank statements, credit card statements, jail records, etc., showing where they are spending their money will be used to prove they are unable to handle their life. The probate division of your local courthouse has names of professional guardians who can be assigned if no one in the family is willing and capable. Guardianships will be plenary, which is for personal care and financial, or general, which will be for one or the other. They can be dissolved when the person has passed the crisis. Lawyers for the person and guardian will be expensive, but people must make the decision of saving money or trying to save a life. The Veterans Administration covers costs for veterans and knows everything you need to help someone. It saved my son, and now he is healthy and very happy, thanks to the Veterans Administration.

— Happy, Relieved Mom.

Dear Relieved Mom: Thank you for this information.

Attending the wedding shower with no wedding invitation

Dear Annie: If you are invited to a wedding shower,

should you always be invited to the wedding?

I was invited to a good friend’s shower for her daughter. I gave a generous gift. No wedding invitation ever came.

I’ve now found myself questioning this friendship in silence. No mention was ever made by either of us regarding what I consider a tacky insult.

What are your thoughts?

— Questioning

Dear Questioning: My thoughts are with you. On the surface, it sure seems tacky, and it is certainly understandable that your feelings are hurt. That being said, maybe she just had a very small family wedding. Maybe it was the shower that was her big celebration. But until you find out the reason, you will remain hurt and angry. Communication with your friend will help clarify a great deal.

Good move on time change for NBA game

When NFL or FBS teams

fire their head football coach, the coach generally has at least a year or two remaining on his contract.

Some have even more. Kliff Kingsbury, recently uncoupled by the Arizona Cardinals, signed a new 5-year deal last summer. After a 4-13 season, he was canned.

So, knowing he had roughly $20 million coming his way to not coach, Kingsbury hopped a flight to Thailand, and sent word back that he’d deal with future coaching opportunities when he returned stateside but that he wasn’t interested in doing anything immediately.

n How popular is the NFL,

especially during playoff time?

The Los Angeles Clippers had been scheduled to play in Dallas late Sunday afternoon. When it was announced the Dallas Cowboys-San Francisco 49ers game would be played at 5:30 p.m. local time, the Clips-Mavericks contest was quietly switched to 1:30, ensuring it would be over by time the football game started.

n If today’s Cowboys-49ers game is close late, advantage is San Francisco.

Robbie Gould, San Francisco’s kicker is 50-of-51 in points after touchdown made. His Dallas counterpart, Brett Maher, became the first kicker in league history to miss four PAT kicks in a single game last Monday.

n If Tom Brady wants to play this fall, he may have to take a pay cut to do so. Teams will also be leery of the fact Brady has absolutely no mobility anymore.

*The first and second rounds of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament come to Sacramento March 16 and 18 at the Golden 1 Center.

n Not surprisingly, the best

hockey player in the world, the Edmonton Oilers’ Connor McDavid, is the National Hockey League’s leading scorer headed into the All-Star break in a couple of weeks.

McDavid, a Canadian, has 39 goals, 47 assists, 86 total points through Friday’s play. His German teammate, Leon Dreisaitl (27-45-72) is second.

The San Jose Sharks’ Erik Karlsson is sixth. The Sharks need help in several areas, so it is possible Karlsson could be moved to a contender at the March 3 trade deadline.

n If you’re looking ahead to next weekend’s AFC and NFC championship games, here goes:

PEPPER: ‘Off-ball guard who could really shoot’

From

picked up a basketball for the first time. He would dribble on the sidelines and watch professional basketball with a front row seat, picking up as much as he could.Even though Elijah played a variety of different sports; football, baseball and soccer, basketball’s what stuck.

“I had more feel and skill for basketball,” said Elijah Pepper. “I always shot around, asked my dad to rebound for me and I wasn’t really into the other sports.”

A seemingly natural or simple attraction for him and it wasn’t long before Elijah was serious about playing college hoops.

It was in the sixth grade, when Elijah decided to commit himself in pursuit of that goal. At five in the morning, he would get up, go work out and shoot the basketball. All before the

first bell rang for middle school. And during those workouts, his father would help hone Elijah’s shooting prowess.

“He was an off-ball guard who could really shoot the basketball,” said Elijah. “The biggest thing we focused on was being able to shoot the basketball from anywhere.”

The younger Pepper elaborated on this point, by adding the necessity to sharpen one’s shooting, translates to new opportunities for driving lanes. Not only does this explain his precision shooting, but he understands the meaning surrounding that skill. A sign of true basketball knowledge and competitiveness.

Pepper’s inherent competitive spirit is one of the driving factors of his success on the court.

From card games to board games, he hates to lose and finds solace in working for the win. A fruit-

ful example is how Pepper competes with himself, by striving for a new personal record in making free throws during practice.

“I think everything’s better when you’re playing to win something, it makes to where people want to work harder,” said Pepper.

His mentality is focused on bringing out the best in others by feeding into his and their competitive natures. And as someone who despises losing, he’s done a lot of winning because of that.

From his days back at Selah High in Washington state, where he helped Selah to four straight 20-win seasons. Three straight Central Washington Athletic Conference championships and became the school’s all-time leading scorer.

Since becoming a fulltime starter his sophomore season at UCD, he’s helped the team to two-straight above .500 seasons.

Pepper’s put up four-30point games throughout his Aggie career and flirts with 20-points on a regular basis. It’s no wonder he was able to tally well over 1,000 career points.

“There’s not much more I could ask for,” Pepper said. “I’m super thankful to be here, I didn’t plan on leaving. Coach put me in the right positions, I have God on my side, my family. I have the right support staff around me to make everything happen.”

Les added: “I deeply care about him as a person because, when you’re in the trenches like we’ve been these past four year.

“He’s always in my office, we always talk, and we’ve built a relationship that goes beyond his time at UC Davis, it’s a life-long relationship.”

the New York Giants, the Eagles will host. If Philly loses and San Francisco wins, the 49ers host. If both lose, Dallas hosts. AFC — If Kansas City wins, Chiefs host provided Buffalo loses to Cincinnati. If Bills win, they meet Chiefs on neutral field Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. This is due to the cancellation of the regular season Bills-Bengals game. If Bills and Chiefs both lose, Cincinnati hosts.
