“Rachel has such a busy schedule as one of the leading virtuosos in the world playing with professional symphonies, chamber orchestras and baroque ensembles and is all over the country and in different countries all the time. The reason she’s drawn to Davis to perform with my group is, this group was the first public school baroque ensemble of its kind that was designed and implemented into a public

They reached out and said, ‘We have Rachel Barton Pine soloing with the philharmonic this weekend. Would you like to have her come into your classroom and meet your students?’ I said, ‘Yes!

‘Fill the Boot’ to help families in need
UCD study shows promise for wine grapes’ resilience to climate change
By Lauren Keene Enterprise staff writer Members of Davis Firefighters Local 3494 will take to the streets later this week, collecting donations for its annual Thanksgiving meal program for people in need. The popular “Fill the Boot” fundraisers are planned from 2:30 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 5, at the intersections of Fifth and B streets, as well as Cowell Boulevard and Pole Line Road.

The city of Davis will complete its move to district-based elections for City Council when voters in East and West Davis elect their district representatives for the first time in November. Two years ago, residents in the city’s three other districts voted for their council members, electing Vice Mayor Will Arnold in District 2; Mayor Lucas Frerichs in District 3; and Councilman Josh Chapman in District 5. On Nov. 8, residents in District 1 will choose between Councilman Dan Carson, Kelsey Fortune and Bapu Vaitla, while voters in District 4 will choose between Councilwoman Gloria Partida and Adam Morrill. Carson and Partida were first elected four years ago in the city’s final atlarge election. The city moved from electing all five council members at large to district-based elections in 2019 after being threatened with a lawsuit under the California Voting Rights Act. The threat came from Woodland attorney and former Yolo County Supervisor Matt Rexroad, who

Given the highly specific climate required to grow quality wine grapes, climate change poses unique challenges for grape growers in California and similar regions across the world. Wine grapes need sunlight to produce good wine. But too much heat, like California has seen in recent years, can create overly sweet wines that are high in alcohol and sugar and lack acidity.
