UC Davis to ease COVID testing requirements

The site of the demolished Sierra Healthcare Center would host 30 attached singlefamily homes under a proposal scheduled to go before the Davis Planning Commission in December.

By Caleb Hampton Enterprise staff writer UC Davis will relax COVID-19 testing requirements for nearly all students, staff and faculty beginning Jan. 17, Chancellor Gary S. May announced last week. Until then, campus affiliates who are vaccinated will continue to be tested once every two weeks. Unvaccinated students, staff and faculty are tested every four days and will continue to be after Jan. 17.

In ending the testing requirement, Chancellor May cited the high vaccination rate among campus affiliates and the low COVID-19 positivity rate reported throughout the fall quarter.

As of this week, 99% of UC Davis students and 95% of employees were vaccinated against COVID-19.

Since the quarter began in midSeptember, the test positivity rate has hovered around 0.1%. As of this week, just 1% of the campus’ isolation and quarantine housing facilities were in use. There are 250 beds in total dedicated for use as isolation or quarantine housing.

Homes proposed for Pole Line lot

By Anne Ternus-Bellamy Enterprise staff writer Thirty attached single-family homes would fill a currently vacant lot on Pole Line Road under a proposal scheduled to go before the Davis Planning Commission in December.

The site — between Fifth and Eighth streets — was previously home to a convalescent care facility, Sierra Healthcare Center, that closed several years ago.

After the buildings sat empty — and became increasingly dilapidated and run-down — they were finally demolished

earlier this year when the site was purchased by developer Dan Fouts.

“The site has now been 100 percent cleared and is ready to be redeveloped into a muchneeded new residential neighborhood, targeted to first-time homebuyers,” Fouts’ project description states.

The proposal for 715 Pole Line Road, dubbed the “715 East Subdivision,” would create 30 for-sale, attached singlefamily homes, three of which would be affordable units.

Homes would range in size from 1,561 square feet to 1,711

square feet. All would have at least three bedrooms and 2.5 baths and 24 of the 30 will have a fully accessible bedroom on the first floor.

Each home would have a onecar garage and one parking spot on the driveway.

According to a description provided to the city, 715 East will reflect the “Napa Farmhouse” style with architecture that minimizes the prominence of the garages.

Entry to the neighborhood would be via a single road off of Pole Line ending in a cul-desac. The 30 homes would line

UC students living in hotels

Zarai Saldana expected to kick off her senior year at UC Merced from a brandnew apartment where she’d already signed a lease.

Instead, the transfer student spent the first two weeks of the school year shuttling from hotel to hotel.

Construction delays had held up the opening of Merced Station, the private student apartment complex where she’d planned to live, leaving more than 500 of UC Merced’s 9,000-plus students without housing.

In hotel rooms paid for by the university, Saldana

“We benefit mental health and Yolo County directly, versus Goodwill which is national, and those proceeds don’t often go local,” said R&R ambassador, Janae Breslin. “We employ some people with mental disabilities when they wouldn’t be able to get a job elsewhere. R&R is also a positive environment for our any shoppers with mental disabilities.”

Long ago — in a time known as the ’90s — a group of local women wanted to do something to benefit mental health.

They presented the idea of opening a consignment store at a Yolo Community Care Continuum retreat, and on

HOTELS: Instant Pot, DoorDash and the commuter life From Page A1 she said, the university assigned her to three different hotels in a span of 11 days. The constant moving affected her studies.

“I didn’t start off as well as I hoped I would,” she said. “I started falling behind.”

Saldana eventually found a room to rent off campus. But her experience reflects that of thousands of students across the UC system who were eager to return to campus life this fall after a year of online learning during the pandemic and found themselves scrambling to find housing. Unable to secure dorm rooms or afford pricey offcampus apartments, some ended up in unconventional housing — local hotel rooms.

At least four UC campuses offered a hotel option, providing temporary relief to hundreds of students. But the financial support that went along with them varied from campus to campus.

And for many students, finding more permanent, affordable housing remains elusive, even as the end of fall quarter nears.

Longstanding problem Affordable housing has long been an issue for California’s public universities. In 2020, 16% of UC students lived in hotels, transitional housing or outdoor locations because they didn’t have permanent housing, according to a report from the state’s Legislative Analyst Office. Though the UC system has added about 20,000 more beds across its 10 campuses since the 2015-16 school year, there were still more than 7,500 students on waitlists to get on campus housing during Fall 2021, the LAO found.

The pandemic exacerbated UC’s housing crunch. Administrators said uncertainty around whether instruction would be in person or online created a lastminute rush of students applying for housing after those decisions were made. To keep campuses COVID safe, some set aside beds for quarantining students who become infected and lowered density in dorms, meaning fewer beds were available. And in

Hamidi who applied for housing in hopes of getting an apartment was met with a waitlist, then given a temporary hotel room in Santa Barbara. coastal cities like Santa Cruz and Santa Barbara, students found themselves facing housing markets that were transformed by the pandemic. Besides camping out in hotels, some resorted to other extreme measures to counter the high cost of living, including couch-surfing and commuting long distances.

The UC Merced students who were living in hotels have since moved into apartments or oncampus housing, said Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Charles Nies. But UC Santa Barbara, UC San Diego and UC Santa Cruz have also turned to hotels to house students.

As of Nov. 16, there were 280 UC Santa Barbara students staying across 10 different hotels contracted by the university, Mario Muñoz, associate director of Residential and Community Living, said during a Nov. 16 town hall meeting. That’s down from roughly 350 earlier in the quarter after some students were able to secure housing elsewhere.

University officials said that students in hotels are paying $26 per day, the equivalent of a

double-occupancy space in university-owned apartments, and the school is covering the remaining $175 per day.

Fifth-year student Sarah Hamidi said she started searching for housing in June, after the university announced it was returning to in-person instruction. But she was put on a waitlist and told that residence halls and apartments were already full.

And she couldn’t find housing in the nearby communities of Isla Vista and Goleta.

One week before school started, Hamidi received an email from the university offering a room at Ramada by Wyndham, and took what she saw as her only option. She commutes to campus by car, cooks some of her meals in an instant pot and orders from DoorDash for the rest.

The housing struggle came on top of an already frustrating end to her college experience. She recently learned she couldn’t finish her chosen major because of a low grade in one class. When she signed the housing contract, she said, she cried.

“This is my last year at UCSB,”

she said. “I couldn’t believe that was my situation.”

UCSB senior Madeline Castro is paying $750 out of pocket per month for a room at the Pacifica Suites. She has her own space with a king-sized bed, a little mini fridge and microwave, and a desk, but says she finds herself feeling lonely.

“The whole point of coming to college is to have the roommate and fun experience, right?” Castro said.

Initially, students faced a December deadline to either find housing elsewhere or pay the hotel price on their own. Castro said she was having trouble saving for a deposit, and searching for a place in Santa Barbara’s punishing housing market left her “super stressed.”

The plight of students in hotels became a rallying point for Food Not Bombs, a local mutual aid collective, which organized a Nov. 5 rally calling on the university to extend the hotel contracts. Hundreds of students attended, spurred by backlash against a campus housing proposal dubbed “Dormzilla” in press reports and

social media. The proposed 4,500-bed building, Munger Hall, has been criticized for its design, which includes windowless dorm rooms.

At the Nov. 16 town hall, Muñoz said the university is planning to extend hotel contracts into the winter quarter for those who need them.

“At this point, we are looking to prioritize moving the students who are in hotels into campus housing. Our intent is that anyone who is currently in a hotel will receive an offer of either campus housing or an extended hotel contract into the winter quarter,” Muñoz said.

While UC Santa Barbara is subsidizing the cost of hotel rooms for students, and UC Merced paid the entire bill plus shuttle service and grocery store cards, students who resort to hotel living at UC San Diego must pay their own way.

Four Marriott hotels near La Jolla offer UCSD students discounted rates for long-term stays, and a university spokesperson estimated about 20 students were staying there.

For example, students can book a room at the Residence Inn San Diego Del Mar for $169 per night.

But even that discounted rate works out to about $5,000 per month. Students who stay 90 days or more can pay as low as $125 per night at that hotel, or $119 at the hotel chain’s La Jolla location.

UCSD spokesperson Leslie Sepuka said the university does not pay students’ hotel bills, but they can apply for a one-time subsidy to cover part of the cost through the school’s Basic Needs Hub. While hotels might be nice for the amenities, they’re not a feasible option for low-income students and those who don’t get financial support from their families, said UCSD sophomore Kida Bradley.

“It’s like putting a Band-Aid on a bullet wound,” Bradley said.

Instead, she and another student involved in UCSD’s student government drafted a proposal to administrators calling on them to provide more on-campus emergency housing and allow couchsurfing in dorms.

R&R: Pandemic hits nonprofit From Page A1 was not immune to all the difficulties and challenges that came with the coronavirus pandemic. If there’s one quality this organization possess that’s not in its name, however, it’s resiliency.

“We were closed for about two months in the start of the pandemic since we were deemed ‘nonessential,’” Breslin said.

“When we reopened, the biggest challenge was getting the word out that we were open again. So far, though, things have been going great. Our sales are up and we’re still focusing on getting word out that we’re open.”

Breslin also mentioned the delight in serving a

variety of community customers. From college students to the elderly and everyone in between, R&R bolsters the upward trend of thrift shopping with their lightly used clothing, furniture and other wares.

Not to mention, secondhand shopping also lowers one’s carbon footprint.

“We’re on a limited schedule because of the pandemic. When we first reopened, people were trying to get rid of everything and we only had so much space,” Breslin talked about donations to R&R. “We take donations on Wednesdays and Fridays from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and it’s all subject to space availability.”

Along with its thrifty opportunities, R&R also

accepts consignment — meaning the store will help sell one’s goods and give them part of the profit. These items can be clothes, furniture, household goods and more. New consigners, however, need to call R&R at 530-7599648 to schedule an appointment beforehand.

R&R also accepts monetary donations, but would prefer one donates to their recipient agencies directly.

They include: Citizens Who Care, CommuniCare Health Centers, Davis Community Meals, Empower Yolo, Short Term Emergency Aid Committee, Suicide Prevention & Crisis Services of Yolo County, Shores of Hope and the Yolo Community Care Continuum.

COVID: Mandatory UCD testing will end Jan. 17 From Page A1 once again for making our return to inperson instruction go as safely and as smoothly as possible,” May said. “Your continued diligence in following our health protocols has made all the difference.”

Testing requirements will remain in place over the next month and a half to ensure that UC Davis affiliates traveling for the holidays do not return to campus with COVID-19 undetected. After winter break, students, staff and faculty will need to get tested at least once between Jan. 3-16.

“Per the new campus testing guidance, after Jan. 17, 2022, fully vaccinated students

or employees will no longer be required to get tested every 14 days. However, they are still encouraged to test regularly to help to continue to identify asymptomatic cases within the community,” UC Davis’ Campus Ready guidance states.

The campus’ in-house rapid testing program, available to Davis community members through Healthy Davis Together, a partnership between the city and university, has won awards and gained national attention for successfully limiting the spread of COVID-19 over the past year.

“UC Davis has truly emerged as a role model for our response to the pandemic,” May said.

Raleigh W. Klein 1949 — 2021

Raleigh Klein was born in San Francisco. He passed away in Davis from pancreatic cancer. He was 72 years old at the time of his passing.

There are two red-letter days in Raleigh’s life. The first took place in April 1982, when he married his bride of 39 years, Nan. The second took place in December 1988, when their son, Jim, was born.

Raleigh lived almost his entire life in the Bay Area, growing up in Palo Alto, where he attended Palo Alto High School (go Vikings). He attended UCLA (go Bruins), where he graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BA in Political Science/ International Relations. Raleigh is a member of Phi Beta Kappa.

He spent his junior year abroad at the University of Birmingham, England.

While there, he became a fan of English football and has continued to support his local team, West Bromwich Albion (go Baggies).

Raleigh returned to the Bay to attend business school. He graduated with an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business (go Cardinal).

After five years as a CPA,

Raleigh entered the equipment leasing industry, where he remained for the rest of his professional career. He retired from Bank of America Leasing & Capital Group well before the 2008 meltdown. During his time in the equipment leasing industry, Raleigh held various treasurer and CFO positions, before turning to the marketing side. During his banking career, Raleigh negotiated numerous complex financial transactions involving railcars, airplanes, satellites, power plants, and the like. His final financial position was as managing director of a worldwide group of quantitative analysts responsible for structuring transactions.

Raleigh and Nan lived most of their married life in Alameda, an island city in San Francisco Bay. Through their son, they became involved in typical events which deepened their ties to the community, including youth soccer, Little League, High School and summer baseball, parents’ association events, and the like.

After retirement, Raleigh participated as much as possible in charity work in

the Bay Area as part of the Stanford Business School Alumni Consulting KLEIN Team (ACT) program. Through this program, as a member of a series of teams, Raleigh provided free consulting services to local non-profits in the arts, the environment, family services, health, and education.

Raleigh and Nan moved to Davis, near Sacramento, in 2016. They wanted to escape the ever-increasing traffic while continuing to live in a community that valued education and diversity. Davis fit the bill nicely.

Raleigh started taking OLLI classes through UC Davis Extension. He particularly enjoyed discussion classes on Atlantic, New Yorker and scientific topics.

Despite having taken several classes in the subject, Raleigh continued to be mystified by quantum mechanics, through no fault of the instructor.

Raleigh also became a member of the Odd Fellows Lodge in Davis, the largest such lodge in North America. Through the Odd Fel-

“If the city does not accept Pole Line Lane as a public street, it will force the formation of a homeowners association, further burdening the new home owners with additional monthly dues for street maintenance….

Thereby further reducing the affordability of these mid-range priced homes.”

Fouts said the project will feature energyefficient, all-electric homes with prices targeting “Davis’ ‘missing’ middle price point.”

they lived in Washington, D.C., Honolulu, and Charlottesville, Va. Their lives were enriched by Myra’s trusting nature and openness to new GABLE experiences. Over her lifetime, she and Dick visited nearly 100 countries, inspired by curiosity and the desire for adventure. Myra maintained contact with extended family dispersed around the globe by her parents’ generation’s emigration from Russia. The relatives were spread from Mexico to South Africa, Israel, Australia, Italy, Canada and the U.S. She instilled a love of travel and curiosity about other places, cultures and times in all her children and grandchildren. As her grandchildren said, “you gave us the world.”

A woman of her time, Myra devoted herself to raising her family and supporting her husband’s career.

Myra managed all the administrative duties of home and family through multiple moves and living in developing nations, and did it with aplomb.

She parented with a light hand, a fact her children reflect upon with wonder and appreciation. Myra eagerly adopted a West Coast approach to fresh foods and ethnic cooking.

A knowledgeable lover of all art forms, she expressed her aesthetic sense in the decoration of her home, sewing and weaving. She was an avid

lows, Raleigh was able to take part in events that benefited the community while also having a very good time with his fellow members. Raleigh was awarded the Member of the Year award in 2019.

Raleigh was an avid fan of local sports teams in the Bay Area. Thanks to his dad’s work with KCBS Radio — including being the voice of Stanford sports and then the 49ers – Raleigh was able to attend numerous special events, including a Final Four, three World Series, two Super Bowls, and the NBA finals (go Giants, go A’s, go Niners, go Warriors).

Beginning at age 11, Raleigh began to keep stats for his dad’s broadcasts.

Working together until his dad’s retirement led to a great many pleasant experiences.

While at the University of Birmingham, Raleigh traveled throughout England as much as possible, and then throughout Europe for breaks and the summer. The travel bug never left Raleigh. Raleigh and Nan were able to travel to various special spots, including the Galapagos, Australia for a total eclipse, and Germany to visit with relatives in Berlin and near Frankfurt.

The city has determined the project complies with the site’s residential medium density zoning, would not adversely affect traffic or air quality and “water quality may even be improved ... compared to the prior land use.”

Now the project heads into the city’s approval process. The Planning Commission is scheduled to hold a public hearing on the project on Wednesday, Dec. 8, at 7 p.m.

reader and a longtime book group member who flew through multiple books every week. As she became home-bound, book group friends stopped by often to bring books and chat. Myra was a good conversationalist and maintained many decadeslong friendships with people around the globe into her 80s and 90s.

Myra also was outspoken, with a strong social conscience and commitment to doing whatever work was necessary to right any wrong, from helping the World War II effort, to forming the first integrated Camp Fire Girls group and preventing white flight as her Los Angeles neighborhood became integrated, to demonstrating for peace during times of war. Her longest and most lasting effort was her dedication to the planning, founding and support of Yolo Adult Day Health Center, whose establishment in 1984 made it the first such center to be purpose-built in California.

She touched the lives of many, and many looked to her for inspiration and encouragement.

Left with extensive fond memories are her daughter Cyrel, and grandchildren Emily and Aaron; son Richard, daughter-in-law Gloria and granddaughter Bryana; and son Carl and daughter-in-law Jackie.

Dunloe Brewing to open a taproom downtown

O

ne of Davis’ best breweries will add a taproom downtown.

Dunloe Brewing opened in 2017 at 1606 Olive Drive. Owner Brennan Fleming just signed a lease for 610 Third St. The space was the longtime home of B&L Bike Shop before it closed at the end of 2020. Recently, it was the temporary sales office for Ryder on Olive, a new Olive Drive apartment complex which, coincidentally, is just down the street from Dunloe.

Fleming said they are just starting the process, which begins with acquiring the Alcoholic Beverage Control license.

Assuming that’s approved, they need to draw up plans and submit them to the city. “We only have napkin drawings at this point,” he said Tuesday. He plans to include outside seating because “drinking beer outside is a wonderful thing.”

The scenario allows Dunloe to expand its brewing at Olive Drive, and expose its beer to more people. The current brewery is 3,050 square feet, with 550 of it as indoor tasting room. The Third Street space is about 2,250 square feet. Fleming hopes to maintain both taprooms “until it doesn’t make sense.”

The new location has been a dream for a while, Fleming said.

“We need a little more space at the brewery for production, and the traffic headache to get over here is only going to get worse.

This, in theory, helps us with both of those issues.”

The brewery is crammed with equipment. The plans allow a permanent spot for the canning line, and add at least one new fermentor. He said these days, “we move it from A to B to A again, just to be able to sneak a pallet of grain in or some cans out.”

A downtown taproom also helps solve the problem of the brewery’s location. The Richards Boulevard/Olive Drive intersection is one most people try to avoid.

The Olive Drive offramp on westbound Interstate 80 has been closed since late March, as

the city builds the new bicycle/pedestrian overcrossing connecting Pole Line Road with Olive Drive. Having easier access to the area (as early as December) will be a plus, but is pinching businesses for now.

“That intersection and the tunnel congestion was a big motivator on the second location,” Fleming said. “We are tucked out of the way. You kinda have to be on a mission to find us.”

He said the new spot will get walk-up traffic, have lots of surrounding food options, and — depending on the time of day — more parking. “The new spot will give us more opportunities to put Dunloe in (front) of new faces. Spreading our little labor of love one beer at a time. That’s the fun part.”

(I could see an opportunity to partner with neighboring Zia’s Delicatessen, which might feel some effects when Mamma opens this summer. Mamma will fill the former Bistro 33 space, offering Italian food and a market/deli. The glitch in my scheme is that that Zia’s closes at 3 p.m. each day. Fleming said he hasn’t yet reached out to nearby

businesses but is looking forward to eating more meatball sandwiches from next door.)

“As a brewer, I am excited to expand my playground a bit. We have been shoehorned in for quite a while. It will be nice to take some pressure off the current spot and have some room to walk again.”

Fleming said it’s too early to predict an opening date or taproom hours. Davis has one other downtown brewery: Three Mile Brewing, which is hopping most nights. It’s at 231 G St., Suite 3.

———— In case you missed it, Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers opened Tuesday at 207 E St. Hours are 9 a.m. to 1 a.m. Sundays through Wednesdays, and 9 a.m. to 3:30 a.m. Thursdays through Saturdays.

The menu is short: chicken strips — with or without a bun — crinkle-cut fries, Texas toast and coleslaw. Lines were long on opening day.

———— There’s a sign up in Fifth Street Plaza for the new boba tea shop I mentioned. It will be called Dah Bao. Presumably, it will serve bao buns too. I’ll let you know when I learn more of the cafe at 2880 Fifth St., Suite 140.

———— The Davis Boy Scout Christmas Tree Lot was set to make its seasonal debut on Friday, Nov. 26 at 480 Mace Blvd. It’s open from 4 to 8 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekends. Its last day is Dec. 21 — unless it sells out earlier. Proceeds go to support local scouting activities.

The scouts also are taking donations of nonperishable food items for the Short-Term Emergency Aid Committee.

———— I keep track of Davis businesses on my Google spreadsheet, which includes more than 325 Davis businesses affected by COVID-19. It’s at https://bit.ly/ DavisBusinesses. In it, there are sheets for Restaurants-open, Restaurants-closed, Coming soon, Businesses-retail, Businesses-service, and more. Email me (address below) to suggest updates.

First Northern Bank announces intent to invest in CalHFA ZIP loans Special to The Enterprise First Northern Bank announced this week its investment in California Housing Finance Agency Zero Interest Program loans made to low to moderate-income individuals throughout Placer, Sacramento, Yolo and Solano Counties, totaling $665,805.

The CalHFA ZIP loan is a zero-interest loan made to cover the down payment or closing costs for firsttime homebuyers who use the CalPLUS FHA program for their fully amortized 30-year, fixed-interest, FHAinsured mortgages. “When we learned about this relatively new program designed to help underserved individuals realize

the dream of home ownership within the communities First Northern Bank serves, we wanted to get involved,” explained Jeremiah Smith, Senior EVP/Chief Operating Officer.

“The program is quite flexible in that the properties financed can be singlefamily residences, condominiums, or manufactured homes. The borrower must occupy the property as a primary residence, meet CalHFA income limits which vary by county, and complete homebuyer education counseling and obtain a certificate of completion through an eligible home-

Family’s old home movies are full of surprises

F

or a man of his generation, my father, born in 1916, was a techie. He made home movies on film that needed to be spliced and cared for and shown on a special projector that broke down a lot.

Today, I am the lucky beneficiary. I inherited some of his techie qualities but more important, I inherited his home movies.

I know the early reels well because we watched them often as a family. What I didn’t realize until recently, when I had the movies transferred to DVDs as a gift, was that the film continues well into my teenage years on reels I don’t remember.

Watching them now is akin to putting binoculars in front of my eyes and suddenly learning that a hummingbird has a long tongue. Even though sound is absent and the film quality is poor — every scene looks dusty — I was riveted by what I saw.

At first, what struck me were the “signs of the times.” Details you pay no attention to when making a family movie — like the car, the furniture, and the clothes — jump out at you when they’re 50 years old. I saw

chrome-festooned vehicles, crowds of smoking people, women wearing hats and gloves, and the New York skyline, not after the World Trade Center, but before.

Women wore their hair “teased,” children bounced freely around in the car (no car seats, no seatbelts) and Coke came in bottles that weren’t retro.

This is cool stuff, but I can find it elsewhere like at the movie theatre or in nostalgic emails that get passed among friends.

However, the material in the foreground of our home movies — what my parents did with us and what they chose to film — is a private gold mine.

Two settings figured so prominently in the home movies that I thought, “that’s why I am what I am today.”

First was water.

If a Martian came to see our family movies, he would conclude that humans spend more time on water than on land. In reel after reel we’re swimming in a lake or a pool or the ocean.

We’re paddling floats, canoes or rowboats. We’re riding in river vessels: ferries, tour boats and, in Paris, a bateau mouche.

Little Marion, I notice, jumps into cold water quickly, and teenage Marion swims far out into the waves at Jones Beach, New York, farther than anyone except her dad.

I thought I became a whitewater kayaker because my husband introduced me to the river, and I fell in love with him and paddling simultaneously. Now I see that the chicken may have been my family’s passion for water; Bob was the Johnny-come-lately egg.

After water, animals dominate the movies. My brother hugs a cat. I feed a country neighbor’s goat milk from a bottle. My mother refills the bird feeder while the squirrels look on.

No mallard duck or Canada goose looked so much like the others that he didn’t merit his

own time on film.

At the Bronx Zoo, which we visited frequently, my father uses his film, pricey in those days, to record long shots of elephants, seals and lions. In those scenes, my mother is the one who is leaning farthest into the elephant’s pen, almost to the tipping point, to offer a carrot.

Is it any wonder that I hang bird feeders, crane my neck for river otters, and bend low to study tracks and scat?

W

atching hours of film, I also noticed what was absent. We did not shop, even on vacation.

Although we played tennis and croquet, we did not participate in team sports. We were outdoorsy but we didn’t camp.

I’m still not much of a shopper, nor do I play team sports, although I do love sleeping outdoors in a tent.

Since the movie camera was most often in my father’s hands, I can tell what interests him and the answer is, No. 1, his children.

He took far more movies of us than of anything else.

Interestingly, when the camera was passed to my mother, she took as many pictures of him as

she did of us.

My father’s most frequent non-water shot of the family was this: my mother, brother and I coming out of our house in Eastchester, N.Y. We descend the five steps from our porch in simple finery, on our way to occasions that don’t show up on the film. I’m not sure what that walk down the stairs meant to my father, but it must have been important to him.

Something about being a provider?

When I watch the “family descending a staircase” shots, I focus on my mother, noticing how genteel she was, understated — not much of a shopper either — but lovely in colors she chose well. Although I don’t know what happened in private, I wish that my father had occasionally remarked out loud in front of my brother and me how beautiful, how graceful, she was.

I might have known it, then.

Instead, I learned it last month, 50 years late, at the home movies.

Celebrating 20 years of serving Yolo by raising $20K

By Eric Miller Special to The Enterprise

T

he Yolo Crisis Nursery is celebrating 20 years of service in Yolo County. Since 2001, the nursery has served more than 7,500 children and their families. The need for the nursery’s services continues to grow. Last year the nursery served 67% more families and distributed 3,874 care packages.

The Yolo Crisis Nursery is one of only four crisis nurseries in the State of California. The nursery would not be here today without the commitment and generosity of our extended family of supporters and donors. Preventing child abuse and helping families strengthens our community for years to come and we are fortunate to have this vital, necessary resource. On behalf of the nursery, our board of directors, and the children and families we serve, I would like to express our gratitude to our generous community.

Tuesday, Nov. 30, is Giving Tuesday. On Giving Tuesday people from around the world come together to thank, help, give, show kindness, and share what they have with

Yolo Crisis Nursery those in need. This year on Giving Tuesday, the Yolo Crisis Nursery is celebrating 20 years of service to Yolo County, and has launched the “20 for 20” campaign with the goal of raising $20,000 to help the most vulnerable children and families in our community. A generous group of anonymous donors has come together and will match, dollar-fordollar, all gifts up to $20,000!

That means every dollar you donate to the nursery will have double the impact and will help families like Jeanette’s break the cycle of abuse and crisis. Jeannette and her two children came to Yolo County to escape a violent relationship. All three were staying on a friend’s couch when Jeanette reached out to the Yolo Crisis Nursery’s helpline desperate for diapers and formula. The nursery’s trauma-informed staff member could hear the distress in Jeanette’s voice and shared information on the many services that the nursery provides.

The Yolo Crisis Nursery is celebrating 20 years and 7,500 children served, since opening in 2001.

Jeanette was connected with the Yolo Crisis Nursery Family Specialist who referred her to the local women’s shelter and helped her obtain essential services such as counseling, Medi-Cal and CalFresh. We also completed a Help-Me-Grow screening for Jeanette’s four yearold daughter, Amelia, which revealed developmental and cognitive delays that needed to be addressed.

Our Family Specialist was able to educate Jeanette on how to manage her child’s special needs and supported her in getting an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) for Amelia. While at the nursery, we facilitated speech and physical therapy sessions for Amelia that were administered via Zoom.

Also, the nursery’s trained staff helped Amelia learn coping skills, self-soothing techniques, and how to

Perez named interim president of San Jose State Special to The Enterprise California State University Chancellor Joseph I. Castro has appointed Stephen Perez of Davis to serve as interim president of San José State University.

Perez currently serves as provost and vice president of Academic Affairs and professor of economics at Sacramento State.

Perez will assume the leadership of the campus on Jan. 3, after the departure of current SJSU president Dr. Mary A. Papazian, who is resigning from the presidency effective Dec. 21.

Current SJSU provost and senior vice president for Academic Affairs Vincent J. Del Casino Jr., will be the executive in charge on campus during the transition.

“Dr. Perez is a bold leader with a longstanding commitment to improving student achievement demonstrated through his many years of service at Sacramento State,” said Castro said. “His passion for increasing opportunity for all students and his track record of building collaborative relationships

Name Droppers with students, faculty and staff will ensure that SJSU continues on its upward trajectory during this time of transition.”

Perez joined Sacramento State as an assistant professor in the Department of Economics in 2001.

Over his two decades of service to the university he

has also served as associate professor, professor, assistant to the president for special projects, faculty athletics representative and interim provost before being appointed to his current role in the fall of 2019.

His previous experience includes service as a member of the faculty at Washington State University and Virginia Commonwealth University.

successfully interact with her peers.

While Amelia was lovingly and skillfully cared for by the nursery staff, Jeanette was able to focus on her own recovery, search for employment, and permanent housing.

Amelia transitioned into a specialized pre-school after her time at the nursery. Jeanette was persistent and eventually found stable employment and reliable childcare, allowing

her to move into her own apartment with her two children.

Day in and day out, our staff and client families are addressing unimaginable challenges. All too often, the nursery’s wrap around approach and services can mean the difference between life and death for the youngest and most vulnerable children in our community.

If you believe all children deserve to grow up in a safe and loving home, please join us with a donation to the Yolo Crisis Nursery on Nov. 30 for Giving Tuesday. With the first $20,000 in donations being matched dollar-fordollar, there is no better time to give! Through your support, the nursery can avert disaster with welltimed assistance and early intervention.

Please visit www.yolocrisisnursery.org to donate now through 11:59 p.m. on Nov. 30 to have your donation eligible for the dollarfor-dollar match. Thank you for making the future brighter for our community’s most vulnerable children and families.

— Eric Miller is a Yolo Crisis Nursery board member.

In The Heart of Davis

Perez earned a bachelor’s degree in economics from UC San Diego and his master’s and Ph.D. in economics from UC Davis.

The duration of Perez’s interim appointment is expected to last for approximately one year.

Gospel-themed Christmas program heading to Mondavi

By Jeff Hudson Enterprise correspondent The versatile Damien Sneed is known as a classically trained composer and musical arranger, choir director, pianist and organist. He got a warm reception when he brought his group to the Mondavi Center in February 2019 to perform a program that paid tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. Now Sneed and his group (featuring 10 singers and instrumentalists) are coming back to Mondavi at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 4, to perform a gospelthemed holiday season program titled “Joy to the World: A Christmas Musical Journey,” which includes Sneed's arrangements of carols like “Silent Night” and “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” as well as adapted excerpts of familiar sections drawn from the Handel oratorio “Messiah,” as well as gospel

standards associated with Christmas.

Sneed has been a soughtafter arranger and conductor for some time, working with Wynton Marsalis on a setting of the mass that Marsalis composed. At other points, Sneed has worked with opera great Jessye Norman, singer/ composer/musical polymath Stevie Wonder, Motown-era vocal star Diana Ross, gospel artists like The Clark Sisters and Hezekiah Walker, and with the Alvin Ailey Dance Company.

Sneed was also commissioned by the Houston Grand Opera to compose and conduct what is described as a “familyfriendly opera” about the great American contralto Marian Anderson (18971993), whose long and celebrated career included a famous free outdoor performance on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on Easter Sunday 1939.

The concert, which featured Anderson singing American spirituals and classical vocal works, took place at at the Lincoln Memorial (with a bit of assistance from First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt) after the Daughters of the American Revolution (which built and still owns Constitution Hall in the nation's capital) denied Anderson the opportunity to perform in that venue because of her race. Anderson's performance at the Lincoln Memorial drew an estimated 75,000 people and was also carried on radio to a broad national audience.

She later became the first African American to perform with the Metropolitan Opera in New York. Sneed's opera “Marian's Song” premiered in Houston during the early months of 2020.

Tickets are $65-$25 general, with youth tickets $32.50-$12.50, mondaviarts.org.

y random thoughts as we conclude the Thanksgiving weekend and enter Christmas mode. n On Saturday, the fall sports season at Davis High officially ended. The Blue Devil boys and girls cross-country teams competed at the California Interscholastic Federation State Championships, which were held at Woodward Park in Fresno.

Check the Enterprise’s Website, which is www.davisenter prise.com, if you want to find out how the Davis teams and individuals did at the state meet. If you’re reading my column after midnight on Sunday, then you’ve probably seen the story. n The process has already started to find the next Davis High football head coach.

Earlier this month, Mark Johnson resigned after only one season with a 1-8 record. He stated he was offered, and accepted, a full-time job working in sales with a commercial uniform-supply company. Prior to his new job, Johnson worked as a substitute teacher in Yolo County.

Once Davis High has its new head coach in place, you’ll get to read the story in The Enterprise. n Add Lindsay Taylor and Maddie Walker to the growing list of Davis High water polo players who are continuing their careers at the collegiate level.

Taylor, who was named MVP in the Sac-Joaquin Section, is continuing her academic and water polo career at Indiana University. Walker, a goalie, is taking her talents to UC Santa Barbara.

f you think this year’s Davis High girls water polo team was good, wait until fall 2022.

Blue Devil head coach Doug Wright, whose squad played in the CIF NorCal title game on Nov. 20, has 13 players returning. Lucie Lapuz, Leila Meraz, Kyla Cutler, Kenzie Walker, Malaya Wright and Ava Portello are some of those players returning next year.

Let me call it now — Davis will make another deep run in the CIF playoffs next year. n You’ll also need to keep an eye on the 2022 Davis High boys water polo team.

Head coach Tracy Stapleton also has a strong group of underclassmen projected to come back next fall. Eight of the 14 players on this year’s roster are juniors, sophomores and a freshman.

Christian Davis, along with Brennan Fuchslin, JT Doughty, Ryan Pfeifer and Jackson Harris are also some of the players to watch. n Today should determine if the San Francisco 49ers are going to make a playoff run in their remaining six games.

The 49ers are hosting the Minnesota Vikings at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara. San Francisco and Minnesota enter the game at 5-5 each. The winner improves their NFC playoff chances. The loser still has a shot, but might need assistance.

Even with a win, the 49ers will need to keep their focus on their remaining opponents in the Seattle Seahawks, Cincinnati Bengals, Atlanta Falcons, a Thursday night game at the Tennessee Titans, Houston Texans and the Los Angeles Rams. n Are you going to be in Los Angeles the weekend of Jan. 8 and 9, 2022?

Aggie women gaining momentum

By Mike Bush Enterprise sports editor UC Davis women’s basketball head coach Jennifer Gross spoke highly about the Causeway Classic rivalry between the Aggies and Sacramento State at the Golden 1 Center.

“Obviously, the rivalry with Sac State and UC Davis, for both the men (Sacramento State beat UC Davis 75-63) and women, is just a lot of fun,” said Gross, whose Aggies posted 75-46 win over the Hornets on Tuesday. “We’re really grateful to participate this year. Our team was really excited about it; something we’ve been looking forward to for a long time.”

Aggie forward Kayla Konrad added, “It was awesome. Obviously, we come to the boys’ games before, and we’ve always hoped that it would be us. To come out with a win makes it even better. Super fun.”

Shooting at the beginning of the season was one of Gross’ concerns. But making 28 of 56 shots from the floor and 13 of 27 behind

the 3-point line are numbers that any college coach would be pleased.

“We have a lot of 3-point threats on the floor,” Gross said.

After recent tough losses to San Francisco State, 73-46 on Nov. 18, and Saint Mary’s 52-50 on Nov. 13, the scoring almost at will against the Hornets is something that the head coach hopes will continue to build.

“We’ve struggled with up until this point,” Gross said. “You know, we’ve had a little bit of adversity up until this point, and trying to find our chemistry. The thing I love about this team is we’re bought in. Even after a tough loss (to San Francisco State and Saint Mary’s), where everybody is taking accountability, saying ‘How can we get better? Let’s find a way.’

They were in the gym all week getting shots up. So, that was exciting ... it was nice to see us knocking down shots tonight.”

The Aggies displayed defense in their game against the Hornets. UC Davis had 13 steals and forced Sacramento State into 13 turnovers. Clearly, 13 was an unlucky

number for the Hornets in this contest.

UC Davis had three players score in double figures against the Hornets. Center Sage Stobbart had 14 points and Konrad and forward Cierra Hall had 12 each. Stobbart had three blocked shots. Aggie guard Makaila Sanders followed in scoring with nine points and wing Marley Langi six.

Now at 3-2 after beating Weber State, 62-54, in a Friday nonconference matinee game at the University Credit Union Center, the Aggies are looking to continue building that winning momentum that hopes to translate into another winning season.

“What we’re trying to do is put a product on the floor that people are excited to come and watch, you know?” Gross said. “It starts with fundamentals. It starts with playing great defense. Being great shooters and being

Hall of records Enterprise staff There wasn’t any fanfare. The game didn’t stop.

But let the record show that with little more than a minute remaining in Friday’s nonleague contest, UC Davis senior Cierra Hall grabbed her 13th rebound of the game pushing her to the top of the Aggie Division-I record books as UCD topped Weber State, 62-54, at the University Credit Union Center.

Hall recorded her seventh career double-double, with 18 points to go with her 13 boards, setting a program D-I era career record for rebounds.

It was the second straight win for the Aggies (3-2 overall) and their first-ever meeting with the Wildcats. Weber State (2-3) erased a 12-point deficit and briefly took

the lead at the start of the second half, getting 16 points and 10 rebounds from Jadyn Matthews.

Hall’s performance on the glass pushed her past Alyson Doherty for the most rebounds in the program’s D-I history with 713, passing Doherty’s mark of 708 set in 2016. The 713 rebounds rank fourth on the school’s all-time list, just 38 rebounds shy of Staci Stevens (1984-88) for third. The 13 boards were just one shy of her career high set against UC Irvine in 2020, while were 18 points on Friday were a season high.

Senior Sage Stobbart joined Hall in double figures with 14 points, four rebounds, a pair of steals, and three blocks, with the latter moving her past Janae Henning (1998-02) for fifth on the

all-time list with 110, putting her just nine behind Kendall Greene (1992-96) for fourth place.

Sophomore Evanne Turner added 12 points and senior Kayla Konrad finished with 11 more to go with four assists and three steals to help lead the Aggies. Freshman Sydney Burns tied her career high with five assists, draining a three-pointer and grabbing three rebounds.

Blue Devil’s Thomas gives thanks for field hockey

By Lev Farris Goldenberg Enterprise staff writer California’s leading scorer wrapped up her high school field hockey season a month ago, just in time for finals and the holidays.

Julie Thomas earned a welldeserved break after leading the Davis High field hockey team to an 18-1 overall record and a 14-0 league mark. The senior Blue Devil captain tallied 31 goals and 18 assists on her way to being named Eastern Athletic League MVP. “I definitely did not expect that,” Thomas said of her stellar season. “It’s just so very rewarding and it definitely pushes me to do better. Just because, oh, how much more can I do?”

So where was Thomas on Thanksgiving, you ask? Back on the field hockey pitch, of course.

Doing more.

Thomas took her talents to South Beach for the USA Field Hockey Festival with her NorCal Bears travel team.

“It’s definitely a change of pace from the play we get back

home,” Thomas said. “In a lot of ways that’s a good thing, because the only way you’ll get better is by playing people that are better than you.”

There were not many — if any — players better than Thomas in California this year.

The senior forward found the net in every game she played, and twice recorded outings of four goals.

“She had that powerful shot in earlier seasons, but it wasn’t as on target,” head coach Beth Hogan told The Enterprise.

“She really developed the skills to be stronger so that she could get the reach with one hand on her stick, grab the ball, do a couple moves, get around a player, and then get her shot off.”

At 5-foot-10, Thomas towers over players, both in skill and in stature. So, where does she rank among all-time Blue Devil forwards?

“Some strong players have come out (of this program),” said the former Blue Devil Hogan.

’70’s energy crisis a tale W for today

By Juliette Beck Special to The Enterprise

By Llewellyn King Speical to The Enterprise

I

’ve been here before. I’ve heard this din at another time. I’m writing about the cacophony of opinions about global warming and climate change.

In the winter of 1973, the Arab oil embargo unleashed a global energy crisis. Times were grim.

The predictions were grimmer: We’d never again lead the lives we had led — energy shortage would be the permanent lot of the world.

The Economist said the Saudi Arabian oil minister, Sheik Ahmad Zaki Yamani, was the most important man in the world. It was right: Saudi Arabia sat on the world’s largest proven oil reserves.

Then as now, everyone had an answer. The 1974 World Energy Congress in Detroit, organized by the U.S. Energy Association, and addressed by President Gerald Ford, was the equivalent in its day to COP26, the UN Climate Change Conference which has just concluded in Glasgow, Scotland.

Everyone had an answer, instant expertise flowered. The Aspen Institute, at one of its meetings, held in Maryland instead of Colorado to save energy, contemplated how the United States would survive with a negative growth rate of 23 percent.

Civilization, as we had known it, was going to fail.

Sound familiar?

The finger-pointing was on an industrial scale: Motor City was to blame and the oil companies were to blame; they had misled us. The government was to blame in every way.

Conspiracy theories abounded. Ralph Nader told me there was plenty of energy, and the oil companies knew where it was. Many believed that there were phantom tankers offshore, waiting for the price to rise.

Across America, there were lines at gas stations.

London was on a three-day work week with candles and lanterns in shops.

In February 1973, I had started what became The Energy Daily and was in the thick of it: the madness, the panic — and the solutions.

What we were faced with back then was what appeared to be a limited resource base which the world was burning up at a frightening rate. Oil would run out and natural gas, we were told, was already a depleted resource. Finished.

T

he energy crisis was real, but so was the nonsense — limitless, in fact.

It took two decades, but economic incentive in the form of new oil drilling, especially in the southern hemisphere, good policy, like deregulating natural gas, and technology, much of it coming from the national laboratories, unleashed an era of plenty. The big breakthrough was horizontal drilling which led to fracking and abundance.

I suspect if we can get it right, a similar combination of good economics, sound policy, and technology will deliver us and the world from the impending climate disaster.

The beginning isn’t auspicious, but neither was it back in the energy crisis. The Department of Energy is going through what I think of as scattering fairy dust on every supplicant who says he or she can help. On Nov. 1, DOE issued a press release which pretty well explains fairy dusting: a little money to a lot of entities, from great industrial companies to universities. Never enough money to really do anything, but enough to keep the beavers beavering.

That isn’t the way out.

The way out, based on what we have on the drawing board today, is for the government to get behind a few options. These are storage, which would make wind and solar more useful; capture and storage of carbon released during combustion; and a robust turn to nuclear power.

All this would come together efficiently and quickly with a no-exceptions carbon tax. Republicans will diss this tax, but it is the equitable thing to do.

Nuclear power deserves a caveat. It is unique in its relation to the government, which should acknowledge this and act accordingly.

The government is responsible for nuclear safety, nonproliferation, and waste disposal. It might as well have the vendors build a series of reactors at government sites, sell the power to the electric utilities, and eventually transfer plant ownership to them.

The government has some things that it alone is able to do. Reviving nuclear power is one.

The energy crisis was solved because it had to be solved. The climate-change crisis, too, must be solved.

hen looking at Earth from outer space, astronauts have experienced a transformative shift in awareness called the “overview effect.”

They describe seeing a magnificent, swirling blue orb separated from infinite darkness by a thin silver line — our atmosphere. From this viewpoint, the fragility of our living planet and the pettiness of human borders become clear.

I recently saw our planetary home, not from above, but from below, through the eyes of people worldwide that are witnessing — and actively resisting — the systematic destruction of the Earth’s interconnected lifesupport systems. In my “underview,” I heard testimonies from the Amazon basin to the Niger delta to the Himalayan plateau to Australia and Turtle Island (North America) — regions that have sustained civilization for tens of thousands of years that are now being flooded, eroded, scorched, denuded and saturated with toxic chemicals, plastic, fossil fuel and waste.

Hundreds of community leaders had traveled to Glasgow, United Kingdom from the frontlines of the climate crisis to urge the world’s governments that had gathered for the United Nations Conference of Parties (COP26) to protect not only their ancestral homelands, but the livability of the the planet for all humanity and future generations.

Wearing the brightly colored feathered headdress of her Waorani tribe, Nemo Andy Guiquita addressed a large crowd that had gathered in front of the Scottish headquarters of U.S. multinational JP Morgan Chase, the largest financier of the fossil-fuel industry globally.

“The animals are dying, the plants are dying, the rainforests are dying. Governments and banks like JP Morgan Chase that are financing the extraction of fossil fuels from our territories are criminals, killing our people, destroying our territories,” shared Guiquita, the director of women

and health for the confederation of Indigenous nationalities of the Ecuadorian Amazon.

“Indigenous people (resisting fossil fuel extraction) are not the problem — we are the solution,” she stated proudly.

Indigenous tribes such as the Waorani of South America and the Standing Rock Sioux and the Wet’suwet’en of North America are doing what leading governments have failed at. They are battling the culprits of climate change — fossil fuel corporations and their powerful investors — whose extraction and production of oil and gas is at the root of the crisis.

As Marco Lemus, a young urban gardener from Richmond, where Chevron’s oil refinery recently caused the closure of three schools from foul air, told the crowd, “We gotta keep that s*** in the ground!”

COP-out The official aim of this year’s COP was to implement the 2015 Paris Accord, committing nearly 200 countries to keep global average temperature rise to no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Yet Climate Action Tracker estimates that the national pledges made at COP26 are less than half of what is needed by 2030. At this rate, with greenhouse gas emissions still rising precariously, they predict a 2.4 degree temperature increase by the end of the century.

Developed countries were also expected to make good on the promise made in 2009 to provide $100 billion a year to help highly impacted countries in places like the Pacific Islands and Sub-Saharan Africa that have already passed the 1.5 degree threshold and are struggling to cope with ever more extreme weather.

Many pointed to the return of the U.S. — the largest historical carbon emitter — as a sign of progress. Despite the welcome change in presidential rhetoric, behind the scenes, the

U.S. focused on dodging liability and opposing a key climate justice provision — “loss and damage” payments to highly impacted countries that have contributed the least to the problem but are suffering the brunt of the consequences. Biden’s decision, just four days after talks concluded, to launch an auction of oil and gas leases for a record 80 million acres in the Gulf of Mexico suggests sadly that there is no real change of direction.

Power vs.

Democracy The failure of governments at COP26 to bridge the emissions gap and finance a just transition is not surprising given the entrenched power of neoliberal global economic institutions. The World Trade Organization and other trade pacts grant multinational corporations — including oil and gas companies as well as pharmaceutical giants — turbocharged “rights to profit” regardless of the environmental and social impacts.

Research by the UKorganization Global Justice Now shows that the same energy companies that are fueling the climate crisis are suing governments using secretive “corporate courts” written into trade deals for more that $18 billion.

Energy giant RWE and Uniper have sued the Netherlands over its coal phaseout, while TC Energy is suing the US over the cancellation of the Keystone tar sands oil pipeline.

With the presence of more than 500 fossil fuel industry lobbyists at COP26 (larger than any country delegation), it is not surprising that the UN talks failed to produce clear and just strategies for phasing out fossil fuels. Former Bolivian ambassador to the UN Pablo Solon suggested that to have a fair and effective outcome within the COP framework, fossil fuel corporations should be banned from the talks, and representatives from indigenous nations and nature itself should be brought to the

negotiating table.

A just transition While the events in Glasgow may seem far removed from our daily lives, the message I heard from indigenous defenders of the planet is that we all have to play a role in changing the dominant economic system. The indigenous emphasis on buen vivir — wellbeing — offers a muchneeded alternative to a globalized system based on limitless consumption and extraction.

Domingo Peas of the Achuar tribe said on the U.S. radio show “Democracy Now!,” “All of us have to work together — young people, old people, women, men, every sector of society, government. We must work together for our common future. And it is that transition, ecological transition, is what we’re seeking. And that work begins within ourselves. We must first change our relationship to nature, change the way we think about the world, and really put at the center of our thinking our connection to life and our commitment to future generations.”

From a global “underview” perspective, local governments have a critical role in the transition to a decarbonized, climate resilient, equitable economy. Local elected officials should start by supporting initiatives that build community-wealth and wellbeing, such as cooperativelyowned businesses, farms and housing, rather than locking us into unsustainable development projects that expand highways, suburban sprawl and ecologically destructive mining.

As Greta Thunberg said at COP26, leadership will not come from above, it will come from below. We have to treat the climate crisis as the emergency it is. Let’s all double down on stopping industrial extraction and focus on healing, repairing, and learning to live sustainably here and now on the only planet we can call home.

Schools could use your help The Davis Public Schools are a cornerstone of our vibrant community.

Like the rest of us, they have been greatly stressed over the last few years.

The teachers and the students have been under extra pressures and challenges.

Stress takes a toll on each person’s ability to thrive and to achieve. Growing up physically, emotionally, and intellectually is difficult enough in good times, throw in a curveball like the pandemic and suddenly the challenges can start to look overwhelming.

Students and teachers then need extra resources and tools to help everyone cope and to then flourish in and out of the classroom. The Davis Schools Foundation is raising funds to help provide those extra resources and tools for each campus in our district.

Please consider our goals and then donate to our fall campaign to help our students and teachers. For more information and to donate, visit davisschoolsfoundation.org or mail your donation to P.O. Box 1154, Davis, CA 95617.

Plenty to be thankful for this sports season H ope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving. n One of the unsung NFL broadcasters is Scott Hanson, who works for NFL Network and hosts the Red Zone channel every Sunday. Hanson works for seven hours straight, bringing viewers the top plays and every touchdown from the day’s early and late games. n The Detroit Lions have played on Thanksgiving every year since 1934, with the exception of World War II. The Dallas Cowboys began their own Turkey Day tradition in 1966, missing only 1975 and ‘77. n Just one NFL team has never played on Thanksgiving Day, the Jacksonville Jaguars. n With Oregon’s total flameout last weekend at Utah, the Pac-12 once again is eliminated from the College Football Playoff. It isn’t that the conference is necessarily bad, but with a

subpar USC and several other schools having down seasons, its relevance in the college football world is being questioned.

Two solutions: Win more meaningful games and USC needs to return to a seat of prominence. Easier said than done. n Watching Gonzaga dismantle UCLA, it stands to reason the Zags will be tough to beat in the NCAA Tournament come March. n Ever since he was an assistant coach, Bill Belichick’s defensive thrust has been based upon three things: total points allowed, yards allowed and turnovers forced. Sounds simplistic, but it isn’t. n Keep a good thought or a prayer for Hall of Famer Curley Culp.

The former Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Oilers nose tackle is battling advanced stage cancer.

In his day, Culp could create

havoc like few of his contemporaries. n The man practically invented one of the great dance crazes of all time, the Twist. So why has Chubby Checker never been inducted into the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame? n When Mike Holmgren was hired in 1992 to resurrect the Green Bay Packers, he assembled one of the greatest staffs in NFL history. Holmgren’s assistants included Jon Gruden, Dick Jauron, Andy Reid, Steve Mariucci and Ray Rhodes. All became future NFL head coaches. n East Coast column

contributor Bob Drury suggests this trade: New York Giants send QB Daniel Jones to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for QB Baker Mayfield. Might not be a bad idea.

Jones has already appeared uncomfortable in the New York City spotlight, the same glare that Mayfield would have no trouble reveling in. Jones, meanwhile, could continue his career in a much quieter environment. n Our item the other week about the greatest rock guitarists continues to produce nominations. Las Vegas resident Rich Rose suggests Jeff Beck. Duly noted. n With so many sports television networks in existence now, the volume of men’s and women’s college basketball provides daily, hour-by-hour programming.

Noted a colleague: “If you are not on TV these days, your team must be pretty awful.”

n Due to COVID-19 the Maui Invitational hoops tournament is in Las Vegas this year. Well, Vegas does have palm trees. n Doug Greenwald is the new radio voice of UC Davis women’s basketball on KDVS. Greg Wong moves over to the TV side, calling games on ESPN+. Two highly-competent broadcasters. n Kevin Gausman has gone from a semi-journeyman pitcher to a man in demand. The San Francisco Giants want to re-sign him, but so do the Seattle Mariners, Los Angeles Angels and Toronto Blue Jays.

Good position for Gausman to be in.

HOCKEY: Strong defensive play sparked Thomas, Blue Devils’ offense From Page B1 “But I’m not sure about a dominant forward with a shot like that.”

The competition is strong. The coach cites Katherine McLaughlin — now Katherine Cook — who played with Hogan at Davis High and went on to play at the University of Massachusetts. Thomas mentions Avery Brayton, older sister of Emma, as a forward she looked up to.

Thomas, for her part, excels at the corner shot, a play on which Davis scored in every game except one.

“I would say (she’s) like a Carli Lloyd in soccer,” Hogan said, searching for a comp. “Not in height (Thomas is taller) but just the ability to find the back of the net and the power.”

But there would be no shot at all without the dynamic Davis midfield and defense.

“Genna (Olavarri) on defense, is the one who starts the play often, and then Ella (Helge) is the

Blue Devils, from left, Maya Schumann, Julie Thomas (20), Emma Brayton, Genna Olavarri and Malia Fujisaw take turns sending the ball passed the arc. next one moving the ball up the field,” Hogan said.

“They are the catalysts behind Julie scoring.”

Seniors Olavarri and Helge ranked in the top 10 among California assist leaders, tallying 38 combined set-ups.

“Definitely the mids and the defenders play one of

the most supporting roles on the team,” Thomas added. “We have a really strong midfield line with Ella, Aurora (Hogan), Jeesoo (Jung) – they all contribute so much to our attacking abilities and setting us up.”

That squad played its final game together in

November. Now, Thomas turns her attention to travel ball and to finishing out her senior year.

Even while balancing school and field hockey, Thomas managed a 4.3 GPA. In college, she hopes to pursue biomedical engineering and work on medical prosthetics.

“Yeah, I’m a nerd,” Thomas said, grinning.

“I’ve always been a very hands-on person. My dad’s kind of a mechanic, he tinkers with stuff all the time, so that’s kind of been implemented into my life since I was really young …

So, it’s just a combination of all these little worlds that I have and using it to help people.”

The perfect fit would be a school with a strong biomedical-engineering program as well as a competitive field hockey squad.

It’s been a long road to get to this point. Thomas first picked up a stick in first grade back in Ohio.

“They taught us how to play field hockey for a couple weeks in P.E. and I was like ‘Oh, this is kind of cool.’”

Flash forward 11 years: “I’ve just continued on and I love it. It’s just something that’s weaseled its way into my life and it’s kind of stuck there. It’s just become a part of me now,

but I don’t mind.”

Along the way, she’s had a lot of support. Her dad, Mark, works for Kinoo, an e-learning platform, while her mom, Susan works for Solar Roof Dynamic in Davis.

“They have supported me through all of COVID, even if it was just sending me balls on the field to receive and hit off of. They really helped me through that period in terms of skill-wise, so I wasn’t just sitting at home.”

And don’t forget Hogan.

Thomas has been at Davis High since the coach first rejoined the program in 2019.

“She really does motivate us to do our best as players and as people, and that’s just so, so valuable. So she’s definitely been one of the greatest mentors I’ve had.”

The top goal-scorer in California pauses for a second.

“Even if she is a goalie.”

BUSH: What now Kings? AGGIE: Women playing up-tempo style From Page B1 Rams at SoFi Stadium in the regular-season finale.

In case you might be wondering, yes, I’m planning to be there. The last 49ers game I was at was Jan. 19, 2020, when they beat the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship game at Levi’s Stadium.

In recent years, I’ve driven to L.A. to visit family and friends in Kern and Los Angeles counties, the hotel I stay in is less than three miles away from the stadium.

The outside of the stadium is simply breathtaking. Now it’s time to see the inside of another gem in L.A. n Unless you’ve been living in the Batcave with Batman, Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl and Alfred the butler lately, the Sacramento Kings dismissed Luke Walton as head coach on Nov. 21.

Enter Alvin Gentry, the Kings interim head coach. He was the Kings assistant head coach.

If you’re a Kings fan in the Davis area, Yolo County or reading my column

outside of California, it’s too early to say if the Kings are going to have a winning record when the NBA’s AllStar break arrives in February.

But you can’t say that they will have a losing record, either.

Let’s wait until the All-Star break to see what the Kings’ record is at that point.

If they have a winning record, then the P word, playoffs, can be discussed at that time. The last time that the Kings were in the playoffs was the 2005-06 season.

I photographed and wrote columns on the Kings in the early-to-mid-2000s on their playoff run.

More than a generation has passed, and if you’re part of that new generation, you’ll want to experience a Kings home playoff game; you can’t compare a playoff game to a regular-season game.

If the Kings are hovering at .500 or below, there will probably be changes after this regular season is over.

From Page B1 great passers, and playing a style where we share the ball and there’s extra passes.”

Then Gross started talking about the Golden State Warriors.

“People talk about the Warriors all the time and how exciting their offense is,” Gross said. “We feel like we play a similar style. We’re spreading the floor out, and we’re attacking the paint and driving and kicking, getting everybody involved.

We’re just always trying to be a team that can compete every time we step on the floor. Whether we’re playing Sac State, whether we’re playing a conference opponent. Whether we’re playing Stanford or Oregon or a top 10 team.

“We’re trying to challenge ourselves,” Gross continued. “We’re trying to bring exciting teams to the area. But more than anything, we’re just trying to a product on the floor where the kids are playing hard, they’re playing selfless basketball and they are fun to watch.”

UC Davis’ numbers speak highly in recent seasons.

The Aggies have won five Big West Conference regular season titles, which included the 2019-20 title. That was one of four consecutive titles; the 2018-19, 2017-18 and 2016-17 seasons. The first one came

During the pandemic-shorten spring season, the Aggies posted a 13-3 record that included a 9-1 record in the Big West and a perfect 5-0 record at home.

Moving forward, UC Davis plays at Oregon on Wednesday. On Saturday, the Aggies host Washington State at 4 p.m.

Another big game of note for UCD is playing at Stanford on Wednesday, Dec. 15. The Aggies entertain Gonzaga on Sunday, Dec. 19, then start Big West play on Dec. 28 at UC Riverside.

“We do have teams in the Pac-12

that want to play us, because they know we’re a solid team,” Gross said. “Hopefully, those names will bring more people into the arena and get the excitement going even more. The Gonzaga game will be one of the top, mid-major matchups.”

Should the Aggies continue to shoot as well as they did against Sacramento State, then Big West foes could have concerns when playing the Aggies.

“I’m excited,” Gross said. “We have inside threats; we have outside threats. To see clicking where we are able to go to both of them.”

Stressed about Mom’s finances Dear Annie: Our family is like most families — dysfunctional.

Our father worked two jobs most of his life to better himself for the good of his family. My mother was a spender, but my father controlled the money. When my father passed, my mother was finally free to live as she wanted.

Yet my eldest sibling, “Dan,” suddenly controlled all her money. Never was there a family meeting to discuss finances.

Recently, we learned that Dan has taken liberty with our mother’s money. Almost everything my father worked for is gone. Our mother needs assistance, and now she cannot afford it. I feel that Dan cheated not only my mother but also the rest of our family, because now we have this added burden of her care. Dan has never shown remorse. Our mother could press charges for elder abuse but has chosen not to go that route.

The burden has mostly fallen upon me to care for our mother. I really enjoy our time together.

But I am struggling now because the rest of the family wants to find peace and has let Dan back into the fold. He is a bad person who is a real con. He’s stolen from people outside the family, too. I cannot seem to accept this decision. I have forgiven the crook, but I cannot forget.

I am keeping my distance from the situation and asking all other family members to assist with our mother’s care. My family has no idea of the stress this situation has put on me. I have lost some of my hair; I constantly break out in rashes; and I hardly ever sleep at night because I worry about our mother’s finances.

I am wondering whether I am wrong to start thinking of myself

and to stop worrying about our mother’s future. I know there are ways to get assistance for our mom, but without her pressing charges against the person responsible, it might be difficult.

I would like all of us to find peace with this situation so there will be a legacy of love and kindness left by our mother. Can I just go on and pray that my other siblings will see that I need to separate myself from all of it?

— Heartbroken

Dear Heartbroken: You might want to consult an attorney about your situation, just to be sure you’ve exhausted every avenue regarding your mom’s finances and your brother’s mishandling of them.

That said, the person I’m worried most about is you. It is not wrong at all for you to start thinking of yourself. In fact, it’s imperative that you do. The rashes, hair loss and lack of sleep are symptoms of severe stress. Consider seeing a therapist, as it could greatly improve your quality of life. If not therapy, at least take other steps to improve your mental health — whether that means planning a vacation, taking a fitness class or simply spending more time alone. Self-care is not self-indulgence.

——— Dear Annie: I would like to make a public service announcement for all office workers.

Please, for the love of all that is good, wear shoes! I don’t care how hot it is or that you chose to purchase uncomfortable shoes; keep your feet covered at work!

Also, flip-flops are not appropriate footwear for an office. Please choose one or more of the thousands of other summer footwear options out there. — P.U.

Ex still in the picture Dear Annie: About two years ago, my wife of 20 years, “Cynthia,” and I divorced. Our two children are grown and out of the house. Our divorce wasn’t the norm; we did it without a lawyer or mediator. Everything was civil; no one cheated or was abused. I think we both just changed over time.

About four months after the divorce, I met another woman, “Beth.” Having already had my cry, I decided to give it a shot.

Long story short, we were great for each other, and now, a year and a half later, we’re engaged.

The problem is that Cynthia doesn’t really have a family other than mine. My sister and the rest of my family are sympathetic to Cynthia and want to include her.

I don’t mind being around her, but the awkwardness comes in when Beth and Cynthia attend the same family events. Beth understands that it’s unavoidable during big occasions, such as weddings and funerals. But she feels that it isn’t normal for Cynthia to be around for our casual family gatherings, which are more frequent. She feels that once people divorce, they should start to move on with their lives and shouldn’t hang around an ex’s family gatherings.

I’m very torn. I want Beth to attend these events. However, if I asked Cynthia to stop being around so much, it might get back to my family, and then Beth

and I would be deemed as spoilers in the family. But she may already be seen as an outcast by excluding herself from these gatherings.

Is Beth having anxiety over nothing, or should I ask my ex not to be around so much?

— Ex In or Ex Out Dear Ex In or Ex Out: Your exwife was a part of your family for 20 years, and that bond doesn’t disappear once the ink dries on the divorce papers. It’s understandable that she wants to stay in touch with her former in-laws, and it’s understandable that they want to include her. But it’s important that your fiancee really get to know and love your family, and she’s having a hard time doing so with your ex-wife around. Rather than disinvite Cynthia, talk to your family members about your concern and plan additional outings with just them and Beth. Once Beth feels more settled and secure with her place in the family, it will be easier for her to relax at family gatherings, even when Cynthia is there.

——— Dear Annie: My husband and I own a boat that takes tourists on short trips. Three years ago, he fell in love with the only woman on board. When I realized something was up, I said, “If she is so wonderful, what is stopping you from being with her?” Without hesitation, he said, “The age difference.”

I have not been able to stop thinking about that every day for the past three years. I am becoming upset even writing this to you.

She is not interested in him. I guess he is old enough to be her father. But what if he meets someone his own age? I think I’d better see my lawyer. What do you think? Should we get a divorce?

Dear Annie: I would like your opinion on a recent incident that happened to me. I went to my son’s house to go out to dinner with him and his family to celebrate his birthday. When I arrived, the only person there was my granddaughter. My son was meeting us at the restaurant, and my daughter-in-law, “Jean,” had been called into work but intended to be back at the house shortly. She still hadn’t returned by the time my granddaughter and I had to head to the restaurant, and I noticed a pot of soup boiling on the stove. I thought Jean had forgotten to turn the burner off, so I turned it off.

Well, I was wrong. We all happened to return later at about the same time, and when Jean noticed the burner was off, she asked, “Who turned the stove off?” I told her I had. She looked very upset and said, “The soup was supposed to cook for 12 hours.” I said, “Well, it is better to be safe than sorry.”

Later, I asked my son whether Jean was still upset with me, and he said she had not been upset with me. I told him I could tell by the expression on her face that she was. He then said I should not have turned the burner off, that “it was her stove.” I told him

whether you should get a divorce based on your letter. But I can tell you that you can’t keep living this way. One comment has been eating away at you for three years, and you need to put a stop to that before it swallows you whole.

Have you tried talking to your husband? It’s possible his comment was a joke, albeit a mean one. In any case, I’d strongly recommend a few sessions of marriage counseling so you can open up the lines of communication.

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE I was concerned the house might catch on fire, and he said that the house is her house and that if it had caught on fire, it would have been her concern. I do not like family discord, and I don’t usually insert myself into their affairs, but I think that was a foolish thing to do and I acted appropriately by turning the stove off. What say you?

— Safety First Dear Safety First: It’s unsafe to leave a stove burning unattended. But if you keep treating this as an argument, things will get unnecessarily heated. Wait for things to simmer down before letting your son know about the fire safety issue, and erase all traces of “I told you so” from your tone.

When the holidays roll around, consider buying them a slow cooker — much safer to leave on for hours at a time.

Dear Annie: I love, love, love your column. I especially love that you listen to your readers and are willing to add to your answers and even alter your advice when given new information. My comment is about your response to “Missing Life and Happiness,” who has been married for over 25 years to a man who turns his back on her in every way possible, basically treating her as a disgusting part of his life. I agree that she should focus on herself, enrich her life and improve her self-esteem. However, I believe she needs to do more than discuss issues with her husband. She has put up with this for too long. I don’t believe she should waste even one more second allowing that evil person in her life. From her description, it doesn’t sound possible for him to change how he treats her. It’s time to remove him

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: WILLIAM MARSHALL MURPHY, JR.; AKA: WILLIAM M. MURPHY CASE NO. PR2021-0252 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of WILLIAM MARSHALL MURPHY, JR.; AKA: WILLIAM M. MURPHY A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Rui Chen in the Superior Court of California, County of Yolo.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that Rui Chen be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests the decedent's will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 01/4/2022 at 9:00AM in Dept. 10 located at 1000 MAIN STREET, WOODLAND, CA 95695 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

— Jane G. Dear Jane: You’re not the only reader who thought I should have told “Missing Life and Happiness” that enough was enough. I wanted to let her reach her own decision about her marriage, and I was trying to encourage her to get into a good headspace for evaluating things. Perhaps I should have worded my response more strongly, as I agree with you: The way her husband has been treating her is unacceptable. Thank you for writing.

No one cares anymore Dear Annie: I am a 75-year-old woman in good health, and I’ve been married for 54 years. I have wonderful children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. My problem is that

many lifelong friends and most of my family members don’t seem to want to maintain a relationship with me.

When I contact them, they seem glad to hear from me, but for the past three or four years, there has been no effort on their part to keep in touch with me.

My siblings and I have always been very close and shared things going on with our children and grandchildren. My siblings still talk to each other often, and my one sister-in-law keeps me informed about what’s happening in the family. I love my family and friends, but I am about ready to give up on those who don’t seem to want to have a relationship with me. I have asked a couple of family members whether they have a problem with me, and they deny there are any issues. I think

they probably love me but for some reason don’t like me. I have examined my actions and spoken to a counselor and simply cannot find a reason for their distance. Any suggestions?

— Feeling Rejected Dear Feeling Rejected: You’ve done all the right things so far by talking to your family about this and consulting a counselor. You mention this has happened only in the past few years, which leads me to think it may just be because everyone’s busy with children and grandchildren of their own.

Or it could be because the advent of social media has made us lazier about reaching out in general. We check our Facebook feeds and feel content that we know what’s going on in loved ones’ lives.

Regardless of the reason, your recourse is the same: Get out there in your community and make new friends. Volunteer at a local shelter. Join a book club.

Start a neighborhood walking group. And be doubly thankful for all the people in your life who are always there for you. You’ll be half as bothered by those who aren’t.
