Police tape blocks off the North Davis scene of a domesticviolence and officer-involved shooting that left two people dead on Thursday morning.

Respite center gets approval

An extensive homicide investigation is underway following an apparent domestic violence incident in North Davis early Thursday morning that left two people dead and a Davis police officer injured. The deadly violence

began at about 3:40 a.m. Thursday, when dispatchers received a 911 call reporting a family disturbance at a home in the 400 block of Avocet Avenue, according to Lt. Mike Munoz. “A female resident of that address called regarding a domestic violence incident,” Munoz said. “Officers

responded and saw a female down inside of the residence” through the home’s front window. “Officers could see the woman on the ground; however, she still appeared to be alive,” Munoz added Thursday night. The Police Department’s online bulletin indicates the caller was a mother who said her son was “being verbally aggressive

and making non-specific threats” to her, and that no weapons were involved. As they moved into the home to aid the woman, officers “were confronted by a male subject armed with a knife,” said Munoz, who due to the ongoing investigation did not disclose the type of knife. “He confronted them with the knife and

City Council backs Corona memorial

Standing for impeachment

BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY

Enterprise staff writer

The Davis City Council voiced support Tuesday for moving forward with plans for a water feature in Central Park honoring slain Davis Police Officer Natalie Corona. City staff CORONA will return City to settle to the on memorial council with design options and cost estimates for an interactive water feature, as well as funding opportunities, after conferring with city parks commissioners, the Corona family and others. A memorial for Corona has been in the works since not long after she was shot and killed in the line of duty responding to a traffic

The Davis City Council voted unanimously in favor of opening a daytime respite center for the homeless in the city’s public corporation yard following a lengthy public hearing Tuesday evening during which more than 50 members of the public weighed in. More than two-thirds of those who addressed the council supported the proposal, including many residents of the Davis Manor neighborhood, north of the proposed site. Others objected to the location, expressing concerns about the safety of children living and attending school nearby, the security of the neighborhood and diminished home values. But council members were united in moving forward with the respite center and pledged along with city staff to have regular meetings with neighbors to mitigate issues that arise and ensure the pilot project — which Mayor Brett Lee has said he hopes to replicate around the city in the future — is a success. The council voted to appropriate up to $350,000 toward the respite center for start-up

As the House of Representatives gathered to impeach President Trump on Wednesday, Davis residents rallied at the corner of Fifth and B streets to support the action, one of hundreds of such rallies across the country. Organized by MoveOnYolo, which estimated the group at about 30, the protesters sang songs, waved signs and passed out hundreds of American flags to stopped motorists while eliciting honks from hundreds of other passing cars ... but also counted three “disaffirmational” gestures.

They started the Holiday Meal so that no member of the Davis community would be left with no place to go during the holidays, and to this day the Holiday Meal remains centered around the desire to provide a place for those with no place else to go.

The gathering is a place for the elderly, for those who cannot travel, for students far from home and for those in need. But the aspiration behind the Holiday Meal goes beyond this desire to provide a space for those who have nowhere else to go, this meal

Swirling around the bowl games I ’ve been looking over the long, long list of college football bowl games that begin today and I should be salivating in anticipation. For some odd reason, I’m not. And you, I’m afraid, are wondering what this piece is doing on Page A2 and not the sports section. Well, since half the town is going to be watching bowl games instead of impeachment testimony for the next three weeks, I figured it’s my job to warn everyone, especially folks who don’t care at all for football. I am, of course, duty-bound to watch every minute of every game, no matter how lopsided or flat-out boring. Otherwise, I might be caught flat-footed getting on an elevator somewhere when a complete stranger asks me — a certified college football guru — “Hey, what did you think of that Cheribundi Bowl?” If I hadn’t seen the game, I might think the Cheribundi Bowl was a new menu item at Panera Bread, packed full of cheribundi, which is a rare tropical fruit grown only in southern Kansas. This whole smorgasboard of America’s favorite sport kicks off

or the other, is the Tropical Smoothie Café Frisco Bowl. But no, this one is not in Frisco by the Bay, but Frisco by Dallas. Saturday we’ll be treated to no less than six bowl games, highlighted by the aforementioned Cheribundi Bowl between an outfit named “SMU” and another named “FAU.”

this afternoon on foreign soil with the Makers Wanted Bahamas Bowl in Nassau. In previous years, this game has been so poorly attended by a populace that much prefers soccer or cricket that they dispensed with individual player introductions and just had the players go up in the stands to shake hands with anyone they could find, including the roving vendors selling hot dogs and popcorn. The Bahamas Bowl features a battle to the death between Buffalo and Charlotte. And who knew Charlotte was a real college, no less one that has a football team? And yes, this would be the Buffalo Bills, who have fallen on such hard times that they’ve been kicked out of the NFL. On the same day, but five hours later so you won’t miss one game

aturday’s real highlight, however, is the Mitsubishi Motors Bowl where all fans arriving in an actual Mitsubishi get to park in the end zone. The intriguing story here is that the game features Washington and Boise State, which means former Aggie superstar Chris Petersen will be coaching Washington for the last time against the team he used to coach with great success before moving to Seattle six seasons ago. It should be called the Petersen Bowl, but maybe they’ll give Chris a new Mitsubishi if the Huskies win. Also on Saturday is the oddlynamed Cure Bowl, which promises to cure insomnia, boredom, eye strain and that gambling addiction that forces you to watch a game you have absolutely no interest in simply because you

Davis man gets 3-year sentence Yolo County accepting trees for recycling for driver’s license fraud Special to The Enterprise SACRAMENTO — David Sun, 65, of Davis, was sentenced Thursday to three years and one month in prison for a scheme to fraudulently obtain California Class A and Class B commercial driver licenses for the students of his commercial driving school, U.S. Attorney McGregor W. Scott announced. “He not only knowingly and willfully abused his position of trust for personal gain, but did so at the expense of others, in this document fraud scheme,” said Tatum King, special agent in charge, San Francisco, Homeland Security Investigations. “HSI will continue working with our law enforcement partners to identify and disrupt document fraud and bring to justice those involved in these illegal schemes.” On Sept. 13, after a sevenday trial, a jury found Sun guilty of one count of conspiracy to commit unauthorized access of a computer and to produce identification documents without lawful authority, eight counts of production of identification documents without lawful authority, and one count of conspiracy to produce identification documents without lawful authority and to transfer identification documents produced without lawful authority. According to court documents and evidence produced at trial, Sun operated a driving school named Commercial Driver Institute USA in the East Bay with a parking lot in Richmond.

Sun primarily catered to Mandarin and Cantonese speaking students. He helped students get Class A or Class B commercial driver licenses that allowed them to drive large vehicles like tractor-trailer trucks and buses. Sun typically charged $2,500 to $6,500 per student. Sun committed two different types of fraud: a testing conspiracy where Sun helped his California students fraudulently bypass the required written or behind-the-wheel tests to get commercial licenses, and a residency conspiracy where Sun recruited students from New York and helped them pose as California residents to get a California CDL. Sun would arrange for the licenses to be mailed to the students who had returned to their actual home state of New York. Sun’s students struggled with the written tests because of their English language limitations so he helped them bypass the written testing requirements for learner’s permits. Those permits were issued from DMV’s Walnut Creek office under one employee’s login from at least November 2014 through January 2016.

None of Sun’s students in the conspiracy or charged counts ever went to that Walnut Creek DMV office or passed the tests on the dates indicated in DMV’s records. Sun instructed his students to attempt the written tests, which they did at various DMV offices in the Bay Area. If they failed, Sun often took their DMV receipt, which would show their unique California DMV number, and a fraudulent permit would issue from the Walnut Creek DMV after fraudulent passing scores were entered under the Walnut Creek employee login. On occasion, Sun provided his students with a Bluetooth device to wear during the driving test, and instructed them to wear a beanie to conceal it, so that Sun could tell the student what to say and do during the test. In addition, on many occasions Sun took his students to a particular licensing registration examiner at the DMV in Santa Rosa with whom Sun had a personal relationship. Evidence at trial showed that Sun was paid extra money to guarantee his students would pass the driving tests.

There are many opportunities to safely dispose of or recycle waste almost every day of the year at the Yolo County Central Landfill, 44090 County Road 28H in Woodland, and the Esparto Convenience Center, 27075 County Road 19A in Esparto. The landfill regularly holds weekly collection of household hazardous waste on Fridays and Saturdays from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., except on holidays. The Esparto Convenience Center transfer station provides free recycling of glass, plastics, mixed paper and metals as well as used oil, filters, cardboard and e-waste on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., except on holidays. Both facilities will be hosting free recycling of residential holiday trees from Dec. 26 through

Jan. 15. Tree-cycling turns holiday trees into a valuable, renewable and recyclable resource as trees are biodegradable and will eventually decompose to provide essential organic matter. Residents should ensure that trees are free of all ornaments, flocking, tinsel, garland and lights. Please note that this program is only for Yolo County residents and there is a limit of two trees per customer for free recycling. The landfill and the Esparto station will be closed on Wednesday, Dec. 25, for Christmas and Wednesday, Jan. 1, for New Year’s Day. The Esparto station will be open on Saturday, Dec. 28, and Saturday, Jan. 4, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and will resume their full regular schedule on Wednesday, Jan. 8. For information on proper disposal, call 530666-8856 or visit: www. yolocounty.org/landfill.

Interestingly, the city of Orlando is hosting no less than three bowl games — the Mickey Mouse Bowl, the Minnie Mouse Bowl and the Goofy Bowl — which will help to keep that city’s hotel rooms full over the holidays. The Cheez-It Bowl sounds like the perfect snack to accompany you at the Redbox Bowl, which will be showing “Rudy” instead of an actual Notre Dame football game. Speaking of snacks, my favorite game is the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl in sunny El Paso, with the winner taking home the golden Cereal Bowl. And if you make it all the way to the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl on the first Friday of 2020 with family and friends still by your side, take them to the Lending Tree Bowl and grab a loan to take them on a well-deserved vacation. And just think, you won’t have to put up with college football for another eight months, so be a sport and soak it all up while you can. Don’t worry, the Trump Bowl will be back on TV soon enough. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenterprise.net.

Holiday snaps with furry friends BY EVELYN DALE Special to The Enterprise

t’s the holiday season and time to take those family photos. What about your pets? Are they camera-shy, fast-moving critters? Perfect pet pix are pretty easy with a smartphone camera because you can take a whole lot of photos and then trash the bad ones. Here are a few tips for those who’d like to go beyond mass-and-trash photography. Adjust your smartphone’s camera. Turn off the flash so the flash doesn’t spook your pet when it goes off. Without the flash you’ll also increase depth of field, capture more color variations and avoid scary glowing eyes. Use photo tools. Use the zoom option to get closer to a pet without you moving. Edit options allow you to adjust lighting, shadows, color saturation and sharpen images as well as crop and straighten photos. Today’s smartphones take high quality photos but size and resolution often change when you email or post them online. Familiarize your pet with your smartphone and the photo process. Let it sniff the device and practice aiming it at your pet. Pretend to take photos or simply take a bunch and then delete them. Use treats to teach your pet to pose for the camera. Keep lighting and location natural. Subjects become silhouettes when light, such as from a window, is behind them. Bright sunlight can cause sharp, unnatural contrasts so seek out soft, natural lighting when possible. Include surroundings to provide scale and show the pet in its environment. Closeups emphasizing a pet’s face may be endearing but they’re pretty common and don’t give a clue about a pet’s size or its natural environment. Respect your pet and showcase its personality. Do not force it into unnatural or uncomfortable positions or places. Costumes? If your pet doesn’t mind and they’re safe, go ahead. Otherwise, go for the natural look. Ready? Set? Relax and be patient. Sit quietly with your camera in hand and wait to capture that special

Pets of the week Special to The Enterprise Lots of animals are waiting for “forever homes” at the Yolo County Animal Shelter, 2640 E. Gibson Road in Woodland. Among them is Olivia (A176109), a 2-year-old female domestic shorthair cat. She likes head scratches and lounging about, according to shelter staff. Also looking for a good home is Diamond (A175682), a 2-year-old female “gem” with puppy dog eyes. She loves the shelter playgroups and would thrive in an active home with no children.

Treats can lure a dog into position or have it follow a command like sit, stay or lie down. Then get its attention with a high-pitched sound from a squeaky toy or your voice so it looks at you but doesn’t come to you. Rustling sounds from crunching a paper bag or a sparkly toy dangling overhead can get your cat’s attention. Try different perspectives. Move around your pet to get different angles. Although standing may be easier, top-down photos can distort appearances so get low and move around your pet. Alternatively, have your pet get on something higher than the floor.

Calvin writes, “We have now adopted four pups from Front Street Animal Shelter. Marvin (adopted October 2019) and Daisy (adopted March 2012). Two of our fur kids have passed. LuLu was adopted in 2014, and she was with us for five years. Josie was adopted in 1996 and was with us 15 years.” Back in October, when Marvin met Daisy, it was clear they would be pals so off they went for their first

adventures with Calvin and David. Calvin relates, “Took Marvin on his first family adventure today. He was a good boy. He and Daisy are gonna be great friends. He will need some time to decompress from his uncertain past, but he is loved and has a family now that is willing to do what it takes to make him a happy doggo.” Calvin continues, “As for Christmas we are so excited to discover Marvin loves toys and has no qualms about wearing fun costumes. We realize this is probably going to be his very first Christmas so we are going to make it special for him. Marvin will have a front-row seat. He’ll help us decorate the tree, have his own stocking filled with treats and toys, plenty of presents, and a trip to the snow. Daisy has always been spoiled at Christmas and this season Marvin is going to get to be the star!” — Evelyn Dale of Davis is a volunteer and advocate for shelter animal welfare.

ost people are aware that our Earth rotates on its axis every 24 hours, which gives us our day/ night cycle, and that our planet orbits the sun every 365.25 days, which is our year. But what about the solstice? A solstice happens twice a year, once in summer and once in winter. This year the winter solstice for the Northern Hemisphere is Dec. 21, which would be the summer solstice for the Southern Hemisphere. Between September and March, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, which is why it experiences colder weather and shorter daytime hours than the summer. The winter solstice marks the shortest day and longest night hours of the year. After this date the daylight hours will increase each day until the summer solstice in June, which has the longest daylight hours of the year. In the Southern Hemisphere, these dates are reversed because they are angled towards the sun while we are angled away, and vice versa. Many ancient cultures tracked the solstices. Stonehenge may be one of the most famous monuments that does so. Others would see the shortest day of the year as the death of

Library announces Winter Reading Program Special to The Enterprise Capitalizing on the success of its annual Summer Reading Program, Yolo County Library is launching its first Winter Reading Program from Jan. 1 to 31. The Winter Reading Program will use an online platform from Beanstack that allows participants to engage in reading challenges, log reading time and books, earn badges and prizes, and discover great books. Yolo County Library will join more than 1,500 schools and libraries across the nation offering reading challenges January. The Winter Reading Program, designed for adults and teens, encourages participants to read at least 10 hours during the month of January to earn a free book. Alternatively, adults who complete

the program can select the “Read Off Your Fines” option and have up to $10 in late fines removed from their account in place of their finisher prize. Participants may complete optional activities to earn additional prizes. Pre-registration for the program begins Dec. 19 at: yolocountylibrary.beanstack.org. The Yolo County Library Foundation is sponsoring a three-year subscription to Beanstack, which aligns with one of their top funding priorities to expand access to Yolo County Library’s reading programs. The Beanstack software platform and mobile application will make it easier and more convenient for participants to record their reading habits anytime and anywhere and stay motivated throughout the program with more frequent incentives and optional

reading suggestions based on their interests. “I am thrilled that with the support of the Yolo County Library Foundation’s generous donation to provide this platform and mobile application, we will make our reading programs more accessible for local readers,” said Yolo County librarian Mark Fink. “Additionally, we will be able to respond to direct feedback from our community to provide a more immediate and convenient way to log their reading time.” For information, visit your local Yolo County Library branch or go to: www.yolocountylibrary.org.

DISPUTE: Several DPD officers fired on suspect From Page A1 prevented (the officers) from assisting her,” Munoz said. “He assaulted the officers with the weapon, and they were forced to use lethal force.” Multiple officers discharged their service weapons — the exact number of officers remained unclear as of Thursday evening — and “the suspect went down and was determined to be deceased at the scene.” According to Munoz, five officers had responded to the scene, and two to three of them made entry into the house. Following the shooting incident, the female resident also was determined to be dead at the scene, her cause of death still under investigation, Munoz said. A Davis police officer sustained minor injuries during the incident and was treated and released at Sutter Davis Hospital, Munoz said. The officer was not identified. The names of the man and woman have not been publicly released pending positive identification by the Yolo County Coroner’s Office, which was expected to release that information on Friday. However, Munoz noted that both have had multiple prior contacts with local police. “The police department was familiar with them,” said Munoz, who declined to elaborate pending the ongoing investigation. Online police activity

Police tape blocks off the North Davis scene of a domestic-violence and officer-involved shooting that left two people dead on Thursday morning, stopping short of a front-yard nativity display. records show that officers have responded four times since Dec. 4 to an address in the 400 block of Avocet Avenue for welfare checks and a miscellaneous service report, including a callout shortly before 8 p.m. Wednesday — less than eight hours before Thursday’s deadly altercation. Police wouldn’t immediately confirm whether it was the same residence. Munoz said the confrontation with the armed man was captured on officers’ body-worn cameras, the footage of which is expected to be released under a new state law that calls for video of officer shootings and use-of-force deaths to be made public within 45 days of an incident.

Neighbors, mayor react Crime scene tape continued to block access to the 400 block of Avocet late Thursday morning. Residents of the block were allowed to come and go while police activity continued at a house near the end of the cul-de-sac, and one officer was seen going door to door along the street. Neighbors said it’s normally a very quiet street with the exception of that one house, where they said an increasingly disturbed and frequently disheveled man lived with his mother. One neighbor described the man as mentally ill, while another said he had a history with drugs — and

was “totally normal” before he began using — but both said they would see him walking through the neighborhood at all hours. “He was going downhill,” said one woman who reported calling police several years ago because the man was outside screaming and swearing during the night. His mother was described as an “average, normal, friendly” person who was “living an awful existence” following the death of her husband several years ago and enduring her son’s ongoing problems. In addition to the homicide probe, the police department has ordered a parallel investigation into the officer-involved shootings, which typically are

performed by an outside law-enforcement agency. The involved officers will be placed on routine administrative leave from the department during that process, Munoz said. The homicides are Davis’ first in nearly a year, since Davis Police Officer Natalie Corona was fatally shot on the night of Jan. 10 while investigating a traffic collision on Fifth Street. Her killer committed suicide hours later during a police standoff. Davis Mayor Brett Lee released the following statement Thursday: “First and foremost, the loss of life is always tragic; we wish to express our sympathy to those directly impacted by this event. Related to next steps, we are confident in our police department and their ability to follow the approved protocols in place to ensure that this complex set of investigations is handled thoroughly and appropriately. “The investigation protocols involve independent review by other agencies and the city’s Independent Police Auditor. The police department will be providing more information as it becomes available, but we encourage patience as the parties work through the necessary steps to address this event,” Lee said. — Reach Lauren Keene at lkeene@davisenter prise.net or 530-747-8048.

RESPITE: Officials pledge to mitigate community impact From Page A1 costs and six months of operation and execute agreements with Yolo County and CommuniCare Health Centers to provide staffing for the center. Earlier on Tuesday, the Yolo County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to help fund the pilot project, appropriating $375,000, much of which will cover the cost of having those two full-time CommuniCare case managers on site. The two Yolo County supervisors who represent Davis on the board — Supervisors Jim Provenza and Don Saylor — both spoke to the City Council Tuesday night in support of the pilot project. “We think it is an excellent step towards addressing the homeless problem,” Provenza said. Dozens of other Davis residents agreed, including a number of longtime volunteers with the Interfaith Rotating Winter Shelter, local clergy members, former homeless individuals and a sizable contingent of Davis manor residents who said they welcomed the respite center to their neighborhood. One was a student at Da Vinci Charter Academy, Sophia Nachmanoff, who said growing up in the neighborhood and seeing people experiencing homelessness always made her uncomfortable and left her feeling powerless. “As a child in this neighborhood, this shelter doesn’t make me feel unsafe,” she told the council. “It makes me feel empowered to make change in the future.” The Rev. Elizabeth Griswold, who lives near the respite center location, said she “could not be more in support of the respite center” and took issue with those who she said were slandering the

Residents pack Community Chambers on Tuesday to speak on the proposed Homeless Respite Center. homeless by painting them as dangerous criminals.

Location, location, location But more than a dozen people did speak up in opposition to the respite center’s location, most of them residents of the neighborhood worried about a number of issues, including loitering after the respite center closes each evening at 4 p.m., increased criminal and nuisance activity (particularly public urination and defecation) and a decrease in home values. Several speakers said they had been told by real estate agents that their homes would lose more than $100,000 in value if the respite center opens. City Council members acknowledged those concerns but voted unanimously nonetheless to move ahead with the respite center in the corporation yard. “There are legitimate concerns

that the neighbors have raised,” said Councilman Lucas Frerichs, who is seeking re-election in the newly formed district that will be home to the pilot project. “The impacts to neighbors are real,” Frerichs said, “so I think that there is going to be a real need for community engagement. I have been in the neighborhood a lot… talking with neighbors about this particular issue, both those in support and in opposition, and I think that the continued discussions and communication and … building the relationship with the neighborhood is what is going to actually make this successful or not. “But I’m really supportive of us proceeding in this particular location,” he added. Council members also apologized to the Davis Manor neighborhood for not engaging with residents earlier in the process, though the city did hold a community meeting on the matter earlier this month.

“This has not been a perfect process,” Councilman Dan Carson said. However, he added, the rain, wind and cold are here and more is on the way “and I feel morally bound to support an action that seems well planned out that will help keep folks alive. “But there are strong analytical public policy reasons for doing this,” Carson added. Getting people off the street so they are no longer in fear for their own lives “opens the door for strong counseling, getting them engaged with treatment — substance abuse and mental health — getting them engaged with moving on to permanent housing. It’s our best chance for making things better.” The respite center pilot project approved Tuesday will be located in the public corporation yard located along Fifth Street but entrance to and exit from the shelter will be on L Street across from the Davis Korean Church.

Operating daily from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., the center will provide individual case management, connections to services and permanent housing plans for those willing, as well as food, laundry facilities, pet kennels, restrooms, showers, storage and lounge areas for the city’s homeless population. The center will be staffed by at least two managers on site during all hours of operation, in addition to city staff (including Davis police services specialists) and volunteers from the Interfaith Rotating Winter Shelter who are expected to assist with daily operations. The city will provide daily transportation from the daytime respite center to IRWS overnight shelters when the respite center closes each evening at 4 p.m. City staff, including Mayor Brett Lee and Police Chief Darren Pytel, strongly advocated for a daytime respite center and both have made clear the plan is a pilot project and will be closely scrutinized throughout its operation to determine whether it should be continued, possibly in other locations in the city. Lee said Tuesday night he believes the corporation yard could serve as a long-term location for a homeless respite center but said the city needs to demonstrative it “can run this well, in a way that doesn’t create a lot of near-neighbor impacts.” Meanwhile, City Manager Mike Webb said efforts to prepare the location, which began in earnest after council members zeroed in on the corporation yard as their preferred site last month, will continue over the next couple of weeks. — Reach Anne TernusBellamy at aternus@davisenter prise.net.

MEMORIAL: ‘I thought it was an extremely fitting tribute to Natalie’ From Page A1 incident on Fifth Street — not far from Central Park — in January. Community outreach, including a recent survey, indicated a memorial at Central Park resonated most among Davis residents, specifically either rehabbing the children’s splash pad at the south end of the park or creating a new water feature. The existing splash pad has been out of operation for years due to aging equipment and a lack of compliance with current state codes. “That’s where we used to take our kids and they had a great time over at the park and we spent many, many summers there,” Davis Police Chief Darren Pytel told council members on Tuesday.

“When the splash pad option came up (as a memorial site) I thought it was an extremely fitting tribute to Natalie.” He recalled that when Corona was in the police academy in Sacramento, she frequently visited the elementary school next door. Pytel visited the school after Corona’s death, “and had the opportunity to meet with hundreds of school children … and what was remarkable was how many of them came up to me when they learned that I was her boss over here and how many kids that she had touched at that school.” The kids told Pytel stories about Corona visiting them, how she sought out individual kids on the playground that weren’t playing with other kids “and she

would go make friends with them and then she’d get them engaged in all the soccer going on… she did everything she could to get all the kids engaged.” “So when it came up that we could have this children’s area and a splash pad… I thought, ‘Man that’s a perfect match and something that would have been very, very special to Natalie,’ ” Pytel said. According to City Manager Mike Webb, preliminary cost estimates are in the neighborhood of $750,000 to either rehabilitate the existing splash pad location or to build a new water feature elsewhere in the park, possibly on the north end close to the children’s playground and carousel. Park impact fees totaling $350,000 are available and the remainder would have

to come from fundraising and grants. “We have a strong interest from community leadership to undertake some robust fundraising efforts,” Webb said. “I have confidence the interest is there from a community perspective to pull together to make something happen.” Among those ready to pitch in is former councilwoman and state senator Lois Wolk, who told the council on Tuesday a memorial to Corona “should reflect how vibrant she was and how active she was. It should be something visible and central to the city and certainly in Central Park, that would be a good location. “It should reflect her energy and her youth and give pleasure to people of all ages,” said Wolk. “So

whether young or old, whether grandparents or toddlers, it seems to me they all could enjoy the water feature and I think it would be a very fine, living memorial for Natalie Corona.

“I urge you to move forward with this,” Wolk told the council. Council members subsequently voted unanimously to have staff move forward with the next steps in making it happen.

COMMENTARY Some disasters waiting to happen Watch candidates’ V stances on gerrymandering BY KATHAY FENG Special to CalMatters

ith California’s new relevance in the presidential primary, it is absolutely critical that we ask candidates how they plan to lead the country out of the political impasse and take-no-prisoners battle ground that America has become. Much of the analysis has centered on who can win against Trump, and some of the candidates have made this their only measuring stick. But if we are to defend our republican democracy for the next generation against internal chaos and foreign interference, the real question is, after the election, what does group therapy for our national trauma look like? California has a lot of lessons to offer the nation on how to walk that path toward national healing. Let’s start with redistricting, the process of drawing voting maps using decennial census data that, in most states, makes mixed martial arts cage fights look tame. When a UFC match is finished, one fighter advances and the other goes home. In redistricting, incumbent politicians not only win an election, they get to set the rules for the next match and every election for a decade. Here in California until 2008, we drew election district lines the same way most states still do, giving lawmakers the power to draw voting maps for themselves and for members of Congress. Instead of voters choosing their politicians, politicians chose their voters. I was a young attorney in 2001 organizing the Asian American and Pacific Islander communities to tell their stories at legislative redistricting hearings. For many people we helped, this was the first time they testified before any group of lawmakers. I remember getting a phone call from a Democratic lawmaker from San Francisco. I was so excited that maybe this politician listened to our testimony. Instead that lawmaker said, “Kathay, you’re not going to put another f—ing Asian in my district.” It was clear that politicians having the power to draw their own election maps and ensure uncontested power for the rest of the decade bred arrogance, privilege, and even racism — and was poisoning our democracy. In 2008, I led efforts to fundamentally change California’s redistricting process. With an unusual coalition of left, right and center allies, we created the nation’s first independent citizens redistricting commission. The power to draw voting maps was taken from politicians and given to people like you and me. Today, our redistricting process is independent and community-led with the goal of keeping communities together in the new maps. No longer behind closed doors, drawing voting lines is conducted openly and transparently. Fourteen commissioners — Democrats, Republicans and independents — listen to testimony from people around the state, and then have to talk with each other to work through hard decisions and come up with a common solution.

his is a model for the rest of the country. Oregon, Nevada and Virginia could be the next states to adopt redistricting reforms, and they’re all states where Democrats hold power. The question is, will any of the Democratic candidates embrace this model? Any plan to reform our democracy and unrig the redistricting process requires us to work across party lines and champion solutions that lift all our voices. Labor and chambers of commerce. AARP and Generation Z. Farmers and city dwellers. Newcomers and natives. At the national level, there is a bill, The For the People Act, HR1, by Congressman John Sarbanes, D-Maryland. HR1 would make these reforms that already are law in California a national standard. It passed the House, where Democrats are in control, but stalled in the Republicancontrolled Senate. Do any of these Democratic candidates have a plan for how to bridge the partisan canyon in Congress to pass important bills such as HR1? — Kathay Feng is executive director of California Common Cause and Common Cause’s national redistricting director, kfeng@com moncause.org. She wrote this commentary for CalMatters, a public interest journalism venture committed to explaining how California’s Capitol works and why it matters.

irtually all adult Californians know the kinds of disasters that commonly befall this state by the time they decide to stay here or move to the Golden State from someplace else. The usual list most folks consider is fairly short, but can have long-lasting impacts: fires, floods and earthquakes. Those who lack complete faith in technology and human efforts to prevent tragedy see some other potential dangers lurking. One is the nuclear waste dump that has taken shape beside the defunct San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station near the border between San Diego and Orange counties. About 15 months ago, the Southern California Edison Co., operator and majority owner of the onetime atomic power plant, saw a 50-ton (100,000-pound) canister with a five-eighths-inch-thick shell twist almost completely out of control while being loaded into a niche in the newly constructed beachfront nuclear waste dump Edison has built because there is no room in existing federal atomic dumps and no immediate prospect of opening a new one. Like other nuclear plant operators, Edison must fend for itself both in building and filling its dump. The nearmishap, which could have seen the giant, thin-walled canister fall dozens of feet to a hard concrete floor, was

neither reported nor acknowledged publicly by Edison until months later, when a worker mentioned it during a public meeting nearby. Because this almostaccident took time to clear and workers plainly needed more instruction and practice in handling the canisters, no more radioactive waste was loaded into the dump — just yards from a popular state beach — until slightly over a year had passed. Edison maintains everything there is now hunkydory, even though a major leak from the dump could theoretically irradiate everything within 50 miles, including most of Orange and San Diego counties, plus one of America’s two largest Marine Corps bases, Camp Pendleton. The near-accident “will not repeat itself,” Edison has said. A spokesman told a reporter, “What issues we did see were captured as part of our lessons-learned, continuous education program. That will help us be successful going forward.” No one is panicking in

surrounding areas. But some consumer activists still worry, especially after a webinar in which the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission admitted it has no backup plan for repairing or safely storing any damaged nuclear waste container. The best way to remove leaking containers is via “hot cells,” portable nuclear containment chambers. But there are no hot cells within 1,000 miles large enough to cope with San Onofre’s storage units and federal law forbids moving high-level nuclear waste across state lines — or even across freeways like the adjacent I-5.

aid Charles Langley, executive director of the San Diego-based advocacy group Public Watchdogs, “The admission by the NRC that it has no backup plan for handling leaks in these thin containers at San Onofre is terrifying.” He also worries about what a significant earthquake on the known fault offshore from San Onofre might do to the canisters and their storage facility. Only about 45 miles northwest along the coast, other folks worry about another fault and another kind of potential disaster. A homeowner group in San Pedro, beside the Los Angeles Harbor, which is America’s busiest, worries about the effects of a possible earthquake on the previously

unpublicized, blind-thrust Wilmington fault, which seismologists only recently rated as active. The fault runs near several oil refineries, but the homeowners group worries it might set off an explosion from a 25-million-gallon liquified petroleum gas storage tank federally authorized under President Richard Nixon during the early 1970s. The group says this large tank was built without Los Angeles permits and sits on soils which the U.S. Geological Survey defines as prone to “landslides and liquefaction.” A quake under this alleged geological feature could be disastrous, the homeowners fear. And yet … life proceeds quite normally for residents who could be affected by either of the potential disasters at the doorsteps of San Diego, Los Angeles and their suburbs. Real estate prices have risen exponentially over the last four decades in both areas, while no one has seriously discussed possible effects on schools and other public facilities.

LETTERS Support for center I am a 35-year resident of the Davis Manor neighborhood, living two blocks from the proposed Pilot Daytime Respite Center. My husband and I wholeheartedly support the center at this location, or anywhere else in Davis. For too long I have watched poor people sitting and sleeping in the rain or blazing heat, with their belongings scattered around them. This is wrong anywhere, but especially in an economically prosperous city such as Davis. We should do better. I’ve noticed that the media reporting is focusing on the opposition to the center. I’d like to point out that support is alive and well from Davis Manor residents as well! At a recent neighbors meeting where 38 people stayed for two hours, about two-thirds supported the site, with mitigations for concerns. Most of the opposition is from the area near N Street park and we have given the city suggestions to not just mitigate the concerns, but beautify and improve the park for everyone. There is an opposition petition circulating that allows people from all over Davis, outside of Davis, and even in other states to sign. This is unfair. Truly, it shouldn’t matter where the center is located, or how many support or oppose. The city has a responsibility to people who are poor and it’s the right thing to do. Laurie and Russell Loving Davis

Keep college testing Drop the SAT and ACT? Why? Advocates cite the issue that those tests discriminate against minorities and the poor. They are really saying that if you are a minority or poor, you won’t pass the tests, so we will “fix” that problem by eliminating that requirement for college entry. How many students, who are in the “minority” or “low” or “very low” income groups, have taken the path of “I know it

will be difficult, but if I work hard, accept the challenge, it may take longer, but I will make it”? What has happened to the expectation that students must meet certain standards, whether it is for entry into programs, college or university, or to move to the next higher level? Our education system has been “dumbing down” the long-held excellence of the U.S. education system in order to “not let the student feel bad” or they “cave” to the parent who demands that their child receives the “prize,” whatever it may be, without reaching the standard required for that “prize.” I hate to say this, but not everyone is No. 1 in everything, academics included. It is about time that students, parents and the academic community accept the reality and that includes the recognition that each person is different — abilities, artistic, academic, physical, etc. There are so many alternatives to the “university” or “college” level learning. Don’t “dumb down,” but instead maintain the high standard, striving to elevate those standards, so our system is worldcompetitive. Don’t use excuses for the “easy” path. It is an insult to those who succeed in spite of multiple barriers. Vernette Marsh Davis

temporary homeless respite center scheduled to be located in the city’s corporation yard on Fifth Street. I understand that residents living near this proposed center are concerned about shielding children from our local homeless population. The fact is, that’s impossible; homeless individuals already are present throughout our community, and are seen every day in most parts of town. While volunteering with programs that work with our homeless community, I’ve learned that a large percentage have lived in Davis for years. They’re not faceless strangers. They need our compassion and help. The proposed center will give homeless people shelter, and care, to help them get off the streets. The constant stress of living homeless normally makes this virtually impossible. By helping to remove this stress, clients utilizing the respite center can focus more on improving their lives. This is win-win for all. We’ll see fewer homeless individuals on our streets, and fewer people will be suffering in our town. The city obviously is committed to doing this right, with proper staffing and professional help from Communicare health services. This is public-health crisis that we can no longer ignore. We owe it to ourselves, and all involved, to give this respite center a try. Gayna Lamb-Bang Davis

Perlman to bring music and stories BY JEFF HUDSON Enterprise staff writer

iolinist Itzhak Perlman — who in January 1999 gave a concert launching the UC Davis fund drive to build what is now known as the Mondavi Center — will return to the Mondavi for the eighth time at 8 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 11. He’ll be joined by pianist Rohan de Silva for what is being described as “an evening of stories and music” drawing on Perlman’s many decades as a concert artist. Perlman’s January 1999 appearance was a recital at the Sacramento Community Center Theater, kicking off the capital campaign for a proposed concert hall that was then known as the Center for the Arts at UC Davis. (The project was given the Mondavi name in September 2001, when Robert and Margrit Mondavi announced a $35 million gift to UC Davis, supporting the new performing arts center and the adjacent Robert Mondavi Institute of Wine and Food Science).

played at the Mondavi Center during the 200304 season and returned in the seasons of 2005-06, 2007-08, 2008-09, 201011, 2014-15 and 2016-17. Perlman’s appearance on Jan. 11 will be a little different, since he will be wearing a microphone and speaking a bit more than usual, in an evening that (in addition to some concertizing with de Silva) will include Perlman sharing his reflections on old photographs (dating back to his boyhood in the 1940s) and video clips from some of Perlman’s more famous appearances — most likely including a little of his first American television

Itzhak Perlman, at age 13, chats with Ed Sullivan in 1958, when the young violinist had his first American TV appearance. Perlman’s performance on Saturday, Jan. 11, will include sharing his reflections on old photographs and video clips from some of his more famous appearances, including “The Ed Sullivan Show.” appearance at the tender age of 13 on “The Ed Sullivan Show,” broadcast in glorious black-and-white back in 1958. (Some of Perlman’s “Ed Sullivan” appearances are on YouTube, where he plays a highlight from the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto.) Perlman is turning 75 during 2020, and while his appearances this year sharing “stories and music” onstage with de Silva are not being billed as a “farewell tour” (Perlman hasn’t

announced his retirement), age 75 is nonetheless an appropriate time to pause and recollect a bit. Perlman has come in for numerous honors and recognitions during the past decade. He was the subject of a widely screened documentary in 2017, he was presented with the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama in 2015 (and Perlman performed as part of Obama’s January 2009 inauguration ceremony).

A longtime New Yorker and a baseball fan, Perlman performed the national anthem at a New York Mets game in 2016, He’s received 16 Grammy Awards (including one for Lifetime Achievement), four Emmy Awards, the Genesis Prize (awarded by the Prime Minister of Israel in 2016), Kennedy Center honors in 2003 and many other accolades as well. Perlman was born in 1945 in a portion of Palestine that would soon become known as Israel, his parents (who met in the Middle East) were Jewish natives of Poland. Perlman contracted polio at age 4, and for many years, he’s used leg braces, crutches and (in recent years) an electric scooter to get around. After he moved to the United States in 1958, he enrolled at the Juilliard School, where he studied the violin. He made his debut at Carnegie Hall in 1963 and he’s subsequently given recitals and appeared as an orchestra soloist all over the world. Perlman is best known for his interpretation of

classical music, but he has also recorded albums of jazz, klezmer and other musical styles. He’s recorded a number of movie soundtracks, including “Schindler’s List” (which John Williams composed with Perlman in mind). Don’t be surprised if Perlman plays a little something from “Schindler’s List” at the Mondavi concert. Starting around 2000, Perlman also took up conducting and continues to lead orchestras from time to time. He’s also closely associated with the Perlman Music Program, a summer camp for exceptional young musicians that his wife Toby launched in 1995. Tickets for Perlman’s Jan. 11 concert are $55$150 general, and will likely sell out. At this point, only scattered seats remain downstairs in the Orchestra and Orchestra Terrace sections, with more seats available in the Grand Tier and Upper Tier balcony sections. They are available at www. MondaviArts.org or by calling 530-754-2787.

Quartet continues Shostakovich cycle DMTC plans annual

New Year’s Eve Gala

BY JEFF HUDSON Enterprise staff writer The Alexander String Quartet will complete its two-year survey of the complete cycle of the 15 string quartets composed by Russian/Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich in the next few months, with concerts at 2 and 7 p.m. Jan. 5 and June 7 at the Vanderhoef Studio Theatre. The Sunday, Jan. 5, concerts will feature the 12th and 13th String Quartets. The 12th String Quartet was composed in 1968, and it is part of a set of four string quartets that Shostakovich completed late in life, dedicated to each of the members of the Beethoven String Quartet (a Moscowbased foursome that premiered 13 of the 15 string quartets that Shostakovich composed). In composing his 12th String Quartet, Shostakovich chose to explore the 12-tone approach to modern composition known as serialism. The 12th Quartet is dedicated to Dmitri Tsyganov, the first violinist of the Beethoven Quartet, which premiered the piece in 1968. The 13th Quartet was completed in 1970 and is dedicated to Vadim Borsovky, violist with the Beethoven Quartet, and the viola is featured prominently in the piece. The piece opens with a 12-tone row played by the viola and closes with a long viola solo. The work also calls on the musicians to tap the bodies of their instruments with their bows.

The Alexander String Quartet continues its two-year survey of the 15 string quartets composed by Dmitri Shostakovich at 2 and 7 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 5, at the Vanderhoef Studio Theatre. Shostakovich string quartets will conclude on Sunday, June 7, featuring the 14th and 15th String Quartets, late works that were composed in 1972-73 and 1975 respectively. (Shostakovich died in 1975). The Alexander String Quartet formed in New York in 1981 and then relocated to San Francisco, where they became the ensemble in residence with San Francisco Performances and began a long association with San Francisco State University. The group established its own Foghorn label for recording and they have released the complete string quartets of Beethoven and

Shostakovich, as well as quartets, quintets, octets and other chamber works by numerous other composers. The quartet began performing at the Mondavi Center when it opened in 2002 and has appeared in Davis four or five times each season since. Tickets for the Jan. 5 concerts are $65-$79 general, with discounts for students, available at www.Mondavi Arts.org or by calling 530-754-2787. The 2 p.m. performance will feature remarks by noted composer/music historian Robert Greenberg; the 7 p.m. performance will include a postconcert question-and-answer session with the musicians.

Davis Musical Theatre Company plans its annual New Year’s Eve Gala, with a preview of the upcoming music production, “The Drowsy Chaperone,” followed by dinner and dancing. The party starts at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 31, at 607 Peña Drive, Suite 10, in Davis. Tickets are $50 (plus a $2 per ticket facility fee), and include the show, dancing to a live disc jockey, party favors and the catered buffet (appetizers, chicken marsala, tri-tip, vegetarian pasta, vegetables, mashed potatoes and gravy, salad, rolls and butter, dessert, champagne, sparkling cider, coffee, tea and lemonade). “The Drowsy Chaperone” is a lavish 1920s musical with vaudeville gags and Charlestons galore. Robert Martin is

set to marry Janet van de Graaf, a young Broadway starlet giving up performing. But between Janet’s inebriated chaperone, the oblivious hostess Mrs. Tottendale, the egomaniacal lothario Adolpho and Janet’s scheming producer, Feldzieg, there are more than enough hijinks to go around. But that’s not the musical DMTC is putting on. Instead, prepare for a story of the eccentric and melancholy Man In Chair, who puts on a record of his favorite musical, “The Drowsy Chaperone,” and imagines the show springing to life in his apartment. Through his eyes, the audience will learn why some of the gags performed have been distorted by historical context, how some of the characters they’re seeing are products of questionable acting talent, and what the truth is behind the darkness that haunts the Man In Chair. Tickets are available at https://dmtc.org.

Terrific acting highlights loving adaptation of classic novel BY DERRICK BANG Enterprise film critic “Little Women” has hit the big screen seven previous times, starting with silent versions in 1917 and ’18. Director Greta Gerwig’s new handling is by far the most sumptuously realized: a passionately heartfelt adaptation that honors author Louisa May Alcott as much as her celebrated 1868 novel. Gerwig’s thoughtful script faithfully acknowledges all of the book’s major plot points, but not slavishly; she employs split timelines to heighten key revelations while adding a bit of suspense, and cheekily massages the conclusion to add a bit of Alcott’s own life to the semiautobiographical finale that embraces her beloved March sisters. It’s also noteworthy that this saga feels family-nextdoor sincere, rather than the stuff of contrived melodrama. Credit goes to Gerwig’s finely tuned ear for authentic conversation and emotions, and the care with which she lifted dialog right off the page, and (significantly) Alcott’s forwardthinking concern with female equality, long before such things became even acknowledged, let alone acted upon. But even the most carefully crafted dialog relies upon its delivery system. Gerwig scores here as well, having drawn uniformly strong performances from a talented cast headed by Saoirse Ronan (Jo), Emma Watson (Meg), Florence Pugh (Amy) and Eliza Scanlen (Beth). The film opens as Jo, an aspiring author, successfully places a short story with publisher Mr. Dashwood (Tracy Letts) — but only after succumbing to editing demands that gut the little tale. She’s living in a boarding house in New York City and has caught the eye of young literature professor Friedrich Bhaer (Louis Garrel). Believing him a kindred spirit, she shares some of her work … and is dismayed when he judges her stories inconsequential little trifles. Ronan plays Jo’s reaction just right; she’s angry, embarrassed, humiliated and defiant … all while stubbornly overlooking Friedrich’s quiet insistence that she can do better. Before we can wonder what will become of this budding relationship, Jo is summoned back to the family home in small-town Massachusetts. At this point, Gerwig moves the clock back seven years; we meet the March sisters’ younger selves in 1861, just as the Civil War has broken out. Their father, a pastor, has left to serve as a war chaplain; the girls and their mother, Marmee (Laura Dern), must fend for themselves in humble conditions of genteel poverty, making ends meet as best they can. Entertainment is homegrown, often in the form of larkish costume plays written by Jo, with plum starring roles for the slightly older Meg, and giggling

At a time when “economic necessity” grants women little choice but to marry, the March sisters — from left Meg (Emma Watson), Amy (Florence Pugh), Jo (Saoirse Ronan) and Beth (Eliza Scanlen) — yearn for more satisfying destinies. Can any such dreams be realized?

‘Little Women’ Starring: Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Timothée Chalamet, Laura Dern, Florence Pugh, Eliza Scanlen, Meryl Streep, Chris Cooper, James Norton, Louis Garrel, Bob Odenkirk and Tracy Letts Rating: PG, for no particular reason supporting parts for the younger Amy and Beth. The group dynamic is strong and believable; the girls playfully squabble one moment, then fall into each other’s loving arms in the next. But the mutual devotion is undercut by genuine tension at times, often — in these younger, flashback years — between the headstrong Jo, quick to anger, and the mischievous and self-centered Amy. Gerwig cuts between timelines as the film proceeds, allowing us to see how the girls’ older selves are shaped by significant earlier events. Jo dominates the story — as befits a fictional character who inspired generations of young readers to embrace their own artistic dreams — and Ronan delivers a beguilingly complex performance. We read Jo’s thoughts in the flicker of Ronan’s gaze, or the twitch of her mouth; at times her emotions are painfully raw. Pugh does equally well with her reading of Amy, who transforms from an unrepentant brat to a surprisingly thoughtful and perceptive young woman. It’s a tough challenge, because Amy’s monstrous act of revenge against Jo, at one key point, is beyond unforgivable. And yet we do ultimately forgive her, in great part because Gerwig’s cross-cutting has revealed

the degree to which Amy will mature into a much better version of herself. Eldest Meg always is regarded as the most traditionally “feminine” of the sisters, and Watson makes it clear that she’s comfortable with such a choice. The point is made sharply during a passionate exchange between Meg and Jo; the latter — dismayed by her sister’s desire to marry humble tutor John Brooke (James Norton, recognized from TV’s “Grantchester”) — wants Meg to join her in New York, to become the “famous actress” that Jo believes is her destiny. Scanlen is luminescent as the slightly withdrawn Beth, who gives voice to her passion via her talent at the piano. She’s often the gentle voice of reason: the only sister who can get through to Jo. Even at Beth’s happiest, Scanlen makes her feel unsettlingly fragile; we worry about her. Timothée Chalamet is radiantly irresistible as ne’er-do-well Theodore “Laurie” Laurence, the dashing “boy next door” who initially flits, butterflylike, between Meg and Jo. Laurie lives with his wealthy paternal grandfather, Mr. Laurence (Chris Cooper), who worries that his grandson is destined to become a wastrel. Chalamet amplifies this concern, his dancing gaze implying hedonistic tendencies. Meryl Streep is appropriately feisty as the wealthy and “ancient” Aunt March, who resignedly “gives up” on each girl in turn when they succumb to love or other impractical things. Cooper is particularly memorable as the elder Mr. Laurence, who benevolently keeps an eye on the March household. He still mourns the loss of a granddaughter and generously encourages Beth to visit, so she can play the departed

girl’s piano. That’s a moment of true magic when Beth shyly walks to the Laurence mansion and approaches the gorgeous piano in the downstairs ballroom. She pauses — we feel the girl holding her breath — and Scanlen’s eyes positively sparkle with unspoken excitement. As she begins to play, Mr. Laurence silently descends a nearby staircase and sits on a bottom step, transfixed and grieving the absent granddaughter; we read all of this on Cooper’s face. Another great sequence comes much later when Jo yields to authorial inspiration and spends days and nights crafting the first few chapters of her first major work, shuffling pages back and forth on the floor of her attic workspace: a brilliant evocation of the writing process, nimbly assembled by Gerwig and editor Nick Houy. Engaging as all this is, Gerwig isn’t entirely successful at juggling the two time frames; it’s sometimes difficult to determine which narrative path we’re occupying. The length of Jo’s hair helps at times, but even that isn’t consistent. And while Ronan and Watson have no trouble playing Jo and Meg in both time streams, it’s a stretch to imagine Pugh and Scanlen as the pre-teen Amy and Beth. That said, all eventually becomes clear, building to a thoroughly enchanting — and satisfying — conclusion. By which point, if you’ve not fallen under the spell of these characters, and Gerwig’s slyly “enlightened” take on this classic saga — well, obviously you’re watching the wrong movie. — Read more of Derrick Bang’s film criticism at http://derrickbang. blogspot.com.

The Gold Souls — from left, Darius Upshaw, Jace Dorn, Juniper Waller, Billy D. Thompson and Alex Severson — will bring funky soul grooves to The Palms Playhouse in Winters for a New Year’s Eve dance party on Tuesday, Dec. 31. Ten Foot Tiger will open. Doors for the 9 p.m. show will open at 8:30 p.m. COURTESY PHOTO

The Palms plans New Year’s Eve Bash Davis-born band The Gold Souls headlines; Ten Food Tiger to open Special to The Enterprise The Palms Playhouse, 13 Main St. in downtown Winters, will ring in 2020 with a funk, soul and blues New Year’s Eve dance party featuring Sacramento-based quintet, The Gold Souls. Ten Foot Tiger will open. Doors will open at 8:30 p.m. for the Tuesday, Dec. 31, show. The music will start at 9 p.m. and continue into the early new year. Tickets are $25 in advance, $30 at the door and $15 with a student ID, and will include a champagne toast and appetizers. The Gold Souls bring the driving grooves of funk, the rich textures of soul, and the compelling storytelling of the blues to the Northern California scene and beyond. Drawing from a variety of influences and experiences, they aim to deliver compelling lyrics and fresh arrangements over a vintage sound. Led by Juniper Waller (daughter of

noted bluegrass bandleader Kathy Kallick), the group is made of young talent hailing from the Bay Area and Sacramento region. The lineup includes guitarist Darius Upshaw, keyboardist Alex Severson, drummer Billy D. Thompson and bassist Jace Dorn. Each member has a hand in writing and composing, making The Gold Souls a truly collaborative effort. The quintet burst on the Sacramento music scene in early 2017, swiftly becoming a promising new talent in the area. Since releasing a self-titled fivesong EP in May of 2017, The Gold Souls have released a full-length album (“Good to Feel”) and several singles. Apple Music Blues’ Hot Tracks list featured their 2017 single, “Nobody.” The band collaborated with multiGrammy-winning producer and engineer Timothy Bloom on their February 2019 single, “True Blue.” Their latest single, “Strongman,” came out in August. The Gold Souls are now working on their new album. The band has toured up and

down the California coast, and from Southern California to Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and New Orleans. Sacramento-based trio Ten Foot Tiger will open the show with their catchy funk-pop tunes. Since its inception at the For the Funk of It music festival, Ten Foot Tiger has adapted and evolved beyond traditional categories into a jam-band indie-pop outfit. Their songs and improvisations stem from several genres. According to frontman Dan Green, “There’s something for everyone.” The dance floor will be open. Tickets are available at Armadillo Music in Davis, Pacific Ace Hardware in Winters, Davids’ Broken Note in Woodland, online via The Palms’ website and Eventbrite, and at the door if not sold out. For more information, visit palms playhouse.com, thegoldsouls.com and dangreenstudio.com/ten-foottiger. The Gold Souls released the official video for their newest single, “Strongman,” in October. To watch it, find this article on The Enterprise website at https://wp.me/p3aczg-3JAP.

COURTESY PHOTOS

Gary Cederlind’s “Hand of Constatine” will be part of a show of his photography at The Artery during January. Also on display will be necklaces, at right, and other jewelry as well as mixed-media work by Cathy Cederlind.

Gallery will highlight work of Cederlinds Special to The Enterprise The Artery presents “New Works by Cathy and Gary Cederlind,” showcasing Cathy’s jewelry and mixed media and Gary’s photography, from Jan. 3 to 27, with a reception from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday, Jan. 10, coinciding with the Second Friday ArtAbout. Gary began his photo

adventures in 1962 with the purchase of a plastic “Diana” camera at the 88 Cent Store. He utilizes infrared techniques and compositing in his work. Many of his compositions portray landscape and architectural features that capture a sense of wonderment. Color and texture are the focus of Cathy’s art. She

sees her jewelry not only as body adornments but also miniature compositions providing self-expression to the wearer. Her mixedmedia pieces depict entities in an offbeat, eccentric manner. Nature and manmade objects trigger her imagination as she incorporates found objects and

other unusual items into her art. The Artery, 207 G St. in Davis, is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays, noon to 5 p.m. and until 9 p.m. Fridays. For more information, call 530-758-8330, email artery@att.net or visit www.theartery.net.

Still healing from the traumas of addiction Dear Annie: After more than 40 years addicted to meth, and being an alcoholic, I have been clean and sober for two years now and I am nothing like the old me. My now grown children are speaking to me after four long heartbreaking silent years. Unfortunately, my goal to reconcile my mother/child relationships just don’t seem to be in sight. My kids are drinkers, but nothing like I was, so I try to convince myself that they are worried I’ll relapse if I’m around them and that is why they never include me in family get-togethers. I am asking myself whether I did the right thing by putting down the bottle and pipe, since I rarely hear from them anymore. Personally, I made a huge change in my life but if my kids aren’t a part of it, am I not better off going back to bad habits so they at least call to check on me? Am I just too late? — Feeling Left Out Dear Feeling Left Out: You might be sober, but you are far from healed. Addiction, the cleverest of all diseases, is bending your perception to suit its goal, which is to get you to pick up that pipe again. It is, of course, beyond twisted to consider relapse as a tool to get your children’s attention. But a part of you knows this, or you wouldn’t have written to me. And I want to speak to that part of you now. You quit alcohol and meth — one of the most addictive substances — after 40 years of using. You are tougher than nails, my dear, with a gigantic spirit. You are going to get through this, but you aren’t going to do it alone. You are going to reach out to others for Rentals & Real Estate

support: whether that be an organization such as Narcotics Anonymous or SMART Recovery, a counselor, a good (clean) friend, or all of the above. Make the focus your own recovery. Be patient, and understand that your children are not guarded out of spite, but out of caution. Their hearts, like yours, have been through the wringer of addiction. I truly believe that, in time, they will come around to including you more in their lives. I have no doubt that they miss you. Please do get help today, and write me again sometime to let me know how you’re doing. ——— Dear Annie: I clipped this excerpt from the “Horoscopes by Holiday Mathis” column in the Gettysburg Times a while ago: “If there’s no one in need, no one gets a chance to be helpful. Generosity brightens moods. It’s good for both the helpers and the helped. If you ask for assistance, you’ll actually be doing someone a favor.” I’m 81 with limited mobility and I’d like to maintain my independence as long as possible. If someone offers to help with something I can handle, I just tell them, “No, thanks, I can do it.” But as often as not, I accept the offer and appreciate the fact that there are so many kind, helpful people out there. As I told my children as they were growing up: “You find what you look for. If you look to be insulted, then that is what you will find. If you look for the good in people, then that is what you will find.” — Still Kickin’ Dear Still Kickin’: I adore your letter and am glad to print it.

DHS hires diamond champ

No wonder we get the solid guys

ednesday was my kind of night ... If you haven’t had a chance to hear UC Davis head coach Dan Hawkins profess the benefits of things like the truth, steer wrestling, climbing Mount Everest, getting a world-class education or playing football as an Aggie, you have missed one of college athletics’ most entertaining and energizing 45-minute discussions. Knowing Hawkins, I’m sure other coaches at other schools hate to hear their prospects say, “That all sounds pretty good, but there’s one other guy I have to see. I’m visiting Dan Hawkins at UC Davis on Tuesday ...” Doh! Before almost 100 season-ticket holders, benefactors and fans at a reception at El Macero Country Club, Hawkins sang the praises of his first 16 recruits in the Class of 2024. The event signified the three-day National Letter of Intent early window. The players, all but two from California, seemed to fit the needs of an Aggie program that is on a journey designed to keep the wins coming while turning out young men — already character-laden — who will by graduation have a sense of a greater purpose in the real world ... beyond excelling at making the tackle or completing a pass. Not unlike associate head coach Tim Plough’s offense, the diversity of the recruits coming to town is not only by position, it’s by upbringing, course of study and ambition. Think Hawkins was joking about steer wrestling? A former Aggie fullback by way of the California outback town of Beiber, Hawkins seemed especially effusive when talking about Lan Larison — the 6-foot 180-pound Caldwell, Idaho, native. While most recruits are listed by position, the Aggie staff rostered Larison simply as “athlete.”

e earned back-to-back Idaho D-4A Player of the Year honors. This fall, as a quarterback, he threw for 2,373 yards and 27 touchdowns. When he brought the ball down, he scored nine TDs on 778 yards. Defensively, at linebacker or in the secondary, Larison made 67 tackles and intercepted three passes. But the attribute that pumped up the coach and brought a collective roar from the guests was pointing out that Lan Larison is also a steer wrestler. His brothers — Ringo and Rainy — are well-known names on the pro circuit and his mom’s side of the family — the Picketts — sit 1984 World Championship Cowboy Dee and ex-NFL quarterback Cody Pickett. That country spirit of Dan Hawkins’ was never more evident. Listening to the coach, you know his cup was running over ... Folsom High receiver C.J. Hutton, Arizona all-everything tight end Josh Gale, Campolindo left-handed QB Grant Harper (5,270 yards passing with 54 scores the last two years) and Rio Americano QB Mitchell Dixon were among those who will be welcomed to the Aggie family. “I know we didn’t win as many games as we wanted to, or as you wanted to,” Hawkins told the gathering. “But like I’ve said before, this thing’s a journey.” Along the way, Hawkins talked about journey’s having their ups and down — pointing to his trip to Base Camp on Mt. Everest or walking from France to the Spanish coast on the Camino de Santiago. “Sometimes you sprain your knee, get sick ... but you plug along (to your) goal,” Hawkins explained. That 10-3 season in 2018 — one in which the Aggies won a share of the Big Sky title and went deep in the playoffs — that 10-3 season is what Hawkins says he hopes is the norm going forward. And with who we saw rolling across the video presentation of that Class of 2024 ... Well, the group of Aggies is no joke. — Reach Bruce Gallaudet at bgallaudet41@gmail.com or call 530320-4456.

It took about 25 seconds to see where this one was going Thursday. The entire night was a complete blue blur as the Davis High boys basketball team went fullthrottle against visiting Dixon and clocked the Rams in epic fashion, 88-31, in their home opener that doubled as the first round of the annual Les Curry Invitational. The win bumped the Blue Devils overall record to 7-0 on the year and lines DHS up for a second-round clash with Rodriguez tonight at 8:30 p.m. Dixon slipped to 6-5 and will face River Valley at 5:30 p.m. “These guys were pumped up going in,” Devil head coach Dan Gonzalez said after the 57-point pounding. “Especially the seniors knowing it’s their first home game. “They were champing at the bit beforehand, and I really didn’t know how excited they were going to be. But they played with that energy and followed through with good defense and some buckets.” Ryan Hakl had the hot hand early on, netting three baskets in a row to give DHS a quick 10-2 lead. Moments later, Cody Taylor’s back-to-back three-balls extended the Devils’ cushion to 17-2 and in the blink of an eye,

through the third quarter and by intermission Conlan topped all scorers with 12 points and Davis was ahead 58-16. “Our last game Isaiah hit four threes,” Gonzalez added. “He wants to get better and he’s been doing things outside our practices to improve his game. “That’s why I brought him up as a sophomore last year,” the coach went on. “We’ve got good things still to come from him.” Hakl finished with 11 points on the night, while Seng tossed in 9, Joey Asta scored 8 and both Colin Walsh and Keaton Massey tossed down 7. TJ Lewis and Jacob Albrectht led Dixon with 7 apiece. Rodriguez (7-4) scouting report: Beating River Valley, 61-54, Mustang Galen Casen supplied a game-high 13 points each as the Fairfield hoopsters secured their second straight win. Their three most-recent victories have included wins over American Indian (88-35), Benicia (75-58) and Woodland (5639). The Mustangs average 67 points per game compared to Davis’ 92 entering the tournament. “It’s going to be a physical game,” Gonzalez added. “We certainly want to use our depth against them.”

Blue Devil guard Isaiah Conlan (2) drives to the basket for a layup against Dixon. It was the second consecutive double-digit scoring effort for the junior and his third this season. Davis was already up by 30. “We’d practiced putting up a lot of shots, so we came in trying to get as many points as we could,” Devil guard Collin Yee said of his squad’s fast start. One of 16 scorers for DHS, the fourthyear varsity man finished with 5

points. “It’s great to see them all putting shots down, it gives them confidence and gets the rest of us going.” A Theo Seng ally-oop dunk via Taylor and Isaiah Conlan’s crosscourt layin pushed the Blue Crew’s advantage to 40 midway

They will hop in their cars and drive I-80 for about 30 minutes. From wherever the newest recruiting class for UC Davis arrives, head coach Dan Hawkins promises each student-athlete will fill a need. “I’ll say this about the class ... it’s really dynamic,” said the former Aggie fullback who now enters his fourth season at the UCD controls. “I keep coming back to that word because if you were around these guys, you’d want to spend some time in getting to know them. “You would be engaged about how they speak — and what they speak about. Their depth.” In addressing a packed ballroom at El Macero Country Club, many fans got their first peek at the Class of 2024.

Pepperdine rally tops Aggies UCD collapse negates lead; Stanford next

Waves 70, Aggies 67

Next game: Saturday, Dec. 28, at Stanford, 2 p.m. at Maples Pavilion. Listen: KDVS 90.3 FM

Enterprise staff The UC Davis women knew their year-ending four-game road trip wasn’t going to be easy ... It started brilliantly when the Aggies came from off the pace to take out Northern Arizona, 71-61, in Prescott, Ariz. A rugged matchup at Minnesota was a game effort. But road games are brutal. Doesn’t matter where or what time of day or what the month. The road is the road ... and unforgiving. Such was the case on Thursday at Pepperdine when the Aggies — who at one point led by 12 points — saw their advantage fade while wave after Wave went to the charity stripe to eventually provide a comeback 70-67 victory for the home-standers at Firestone Fieldhouse. It was an unusual mid-week matinee attended by only 250 fans. UCD was up 38-28 at intermission. Opening the third period, a Cierra Hall bucket off a Katie Toole made it seem like the smooth sailing would continue — but Pepperdine’s Barbara Sitanggan hit back-to-back jumpers and threw a steal into the mix as the West Coast Conference member came roaring back. A 3-pointer by Hannah Friend knotted the score at 40 with 6:04 still remaining in the third. From there, the final thirdperiod time would be played even, two Campbell Gray layins and a Makaila Sanders triple keeping Davis afloat. Even so, Pepperdine bested the Aggies, 22-12, in the stanza as both schools leaned in for a

fantastic finish ... A Toole layup, a Sage Stobbart free throw and a Mackenzie Trpcic trey with 4 seconds left brought Davis from 6 down, but

in the interim it Sitanggan’s charity tosses and an in-the-paint jumper that kept the visitors at arm’s length. Aggie senior Toole continues to

be a scoring spark. Hitting 7 of 9 from the floor, the Utah State transfer ended with a game-high 17 points. Cierra Hall added 11 points and six rebounds while Stobbart collected a career-high 12 rebounds with two blocks. Trpcic and freshman Campbell Gray each tallied 9 points. Nina Bessolo had 6 points and five boards off the bench. Davis was 8 of 22 from beyond the arc and managed to hold Pepperdine to 39.1 shooting (and a miserable 23.5 percent from Three-point Land). But it was at the free-throw line that Pepperdine collected the victory. The Waves hit 16 of 19 while the Aggies converted 9 of 12. In Sunday’s 9-point loss at Minnesota, the Golden Gophers were 26 of 31 at the strip with Davis converting 6 of only 11 free chances. It also didn’t help that UCD had 16 turnovers to only seven for the Waves, who added 6 fastbreak points to none for the Aggies. Sitanggan’s 13 points led Pepperdine (6-3) with Jayla MilnerRuffus adding 12. The Aggies are now off until Dec. 28, when they take on Stanford at 2 p.m. at Maples Pavilion. On New Year’s Day, William Jessup visits The Pavilion and UCD has a gift for everyone in attendance — free admission. Big West competition for Davis (4-7, 3-2 at home) gets under way Jan. 9 at UC Riverside before UCD comes home to meet Hawaii (Jan. 11) and Long Beach State (Jan. 16).

UC DAVIS FOOTBALL RECRUITING

How it all comes together It’s not about the big fish; it is all about the ‘right fish’ ■ Note: This is the second installment of a twopart look at UC Davis football recruiting. Today coaches Dan Hawkins, Jerry Brady, Tim Plough and Cody Hawkins talk about routine and responsibility on staff.

BY BRUCE GALLAUDET Enterprise sports editor Movies have been made about recruiting college athletes (think “Blue Chips”). Books have been written (“Recruited”). From Amos Alonzo Stagg’s days of driving dusty backroads to meet that prized farm boy — or negotiating urban subways to talk with The Next Big Thing — the art of scoring a recruiting coup has been romanticized, and vilified. Not too many years ago, a coach would have to attend a kid’s game to get a clear picture if the potential next-level project had the hops or could spin the ball. That was then. This is now. “Nowadays, knowing who the athletes are? It’s pretty self-explanatory,” says UC Davis associate head football coach Tim Plough. “There’s so much film out there. Even when I was coming out of high school (2005), you had to send your tapes out and hope someone would actually watch it.” Now, says Plough, the online service HUDL “has cornered the market.” Colleges near and far pretty much know a prospect’s physical ability before writing a name down or making a call. Plough says once a player piques the Aggies’ interest from afar, the real fun (grind?) starts. “I don’t think it’s a grind for the coach,” Plough reports. “Any great college coach

needs to be a great recruiter ... have fun coach Jerry Brady and receivers assistant with it. I try to tell the young guys on our Cody Hawkins as recruiting coordinators. staff, ‘I hope that I’m a better recruiter “Coach does things a little differently,” than I am a coach’ because the only way says Plough of Dan Hawkins’ recruiting our program is going to survive (against setup. “Each coach has a special area the competition) is if we continue to bring within the state.

What are his motivations and, as Plough adds, “See if he fits the mold for what a Davis guy is.” “For Jerry and I, with everybody that the program is recruiting, we should help in their evaluation, communication with that player and everything else from Point A to Point B ... from the time we identify them as a prospect to signing their letter of intent,” explained Cody Hawkins, who was talking with me while driving down to Salinas late last week. “It’s a super-busy time right now.” Hawkins said it becomes a higherstakes game the closer it gets to the Wednesday through Friday early signing date. “Recruiting at UC Davis is very different, but man, it’s an absolute pleasure because the caliber of kids we recruit academically usually means those guys are pretty special. “We don’t recruit against a lot of other Big Sky schools,” added the younger Hawkins, who played his college football at Colorado. Aggie coaches will tell you that UC Davis finds itself in the same recruiting circles as the Ivy League, U.S. service academies and, especially during the Hawkins’ years, in competition for players with offers from the Mountain West and Pac-12 schools. “First and foremost,” says Cody Hawkins. “When you see guys on film or hear about players, you’re always looking for guys that can help you win a national championship.” After that, it’s about the academics, personality, character. “Everything else has nothing to do with their film,” says the receivers coach. “It’s not about catching that big fish. It’s about catching the right fish.” — Reach Bruce Gallaudet at bgallaudet 41@gmail.com or call 530-320-4456.

DAVIS HIGH GIRLS BASKETBALL

The beat goes on... Blue Devils take 3rd straight over a game Whitney BY OWEN YANCHER Enterprise staff writer The Lady Devils may finally be done soul-searching. Following an on-and-off 1-5 start to the season, the Davis High girls basketball team has rattled off three straight wins, with Whitney playing the role of its latest victim Wednesday night at The Cage. Subduing the visiting Wildcats, 45-41, in a see- Lily Hessl saw battle, it was again an DHS guard asphyxiating Devil defensive performance that kept the normally high-scoring Rocklin hoops squad at bay. Limiting Whitney to singledigit scoring in two quarters, it was the third time this year that DHS had held an opponent to less than 50 points. The true test, however, may come next Thursday, when the Blue Crew (now 4-5) opens its play at the Dixon Ram Jam

Classic against a 10-2 Pioneer High team. Winners of eight consecutive contests, the Patriots are coming off a 19-win season that saw them secure a Golden Empire Conference title and venture into the Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs. “Recently we’ve been playing a lot of zone but we switched it up, and I thought (we) executed,” Devil head coach Heather Highshoe said after the triumph. “Our defense really carried us.” On the opposite end of the hardwood it was Skylar Schouten’s scoring that again topped the Devil stat sheet. The junior post’s 13 points led all scorers and marked her second double-digit outing of the season (13th career). Senior forward Surina Beal added 11 ticks for the Lady Devils. “Skylar’s shown a lot of leadership recently,” DHS guard Lily Hessl told The Enterprise. “She’s been shooting a lot, and she’s been making them.” Playing extended minutes Wednesday, Hessl’s 8 points were a season-high for the junior sharpshooter. The 5-foot-6 Devil floor general knocked down two

“Skylar’s shown a lot of leadership recently. She’s been shooting a lot, and she’s making them.”

Hessl said valuing the ball better will be key moving forward this winter: “Recently we’ve been having a lot of turnovers and we need to (fix) that, but overall we played a lot better than we have been.” Davis had been in front, 24-22, at intermission, but never shook the persistent Wildcats until late in the final quarter. “We know we’ve got weapons,” Highshoe added, praising the game play of Schouten, Beal and Hessl as well as Emme Eisenman (6 points) and Kate Nelson (5 points). “We’ve just got to work on building some confidence up. “These wins certainly give us some momentum.” Bring on the Patriots. Notes: Now in her sixth season coaching at Whitney, Wildcats mentor Sydney Gatson served as an assistant at Sierra College when Highshoe was a member of the Wolverines women’s hoops squad. A former all-Big Sky honoree, Gatson played for

CHAMP: Baseball continues to be big part of his life From Page B6 Cal was titled: “The Impact of Cultural Capital on High School and College Baseball Success.” And Guevin’s Davis baseball roots run deep — his father, Tony, coached varsity baseball before Ariola took over in 1996. And even before his high school days, the youngster Guevin was a constant presence around Blue Devil baseball. Though Tony passed away

earlier this year, he left a lasting impact on his son. “There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think about what he’s taught me ... His coaching of me, the way I saw him coaching other people and treating other people both on and off the field. “So, it’s a little bittersweet, but I know that he would be pretty thrilled that I have this opportunity.” The new coach and his wife, Rachel Heidt, have an

almost-3-year-old son, Riley, who is a baseball fanatic just like his father and grandfather. “I’m excited for him to have that same opportunity to grow up around the field and be able to look at players as role models,” Guevin said. “It’s a pretty special thing that he gets to do the same thing that I did, in the same place that I did. “I grew up around Davis High chasing foul balls, bothering the players,”

Guevin laughed. “This was back at the time where it was a dirt infield. There were no dugouts, it was just a bench behind the fence. And the poor players had to deal with me constantly.” Guevin will again be dealing with student-athletes, albeit in a different manner. “We want to be a character-driven program,” Guevin said. “So when you step outside the lines, when you stop playing baseball what you’re left with is your character

and the lessons that you learned from baseball. For me, baseball is an incredible tool for teaching life lessons.” The new coach hopes to emphasize the core values of “character, community and player development.” “I think when the program is successful it brings the community together, it brings the baseball community in Davis together.” Guevin acknowledges that there is a lot of work to be done before the season. But

he has the vote of confidence from his former coach. “It’s gonna be great for the program,” Ariola said. “I’m so happy for Ethan, and I’m happy for the program and the players to get that quality of an individual leading this program. “He’s gonna do his own thing and he’s gonna be great at it.” — Lev Farris Goldenberg is a staff writer for The Enterprise.

very year for over a century, people around the country count birds. It’s called the Christmas Bird Count. Counting birds every year at the same time and in the same location gives scientists important information about birds and the environment.

PROTECT COUNT LEARN CENTURY HOLLY SKILL BIRDS STARS SCIENCE MODEL CAP CANDY GRAPH TYPE LOOK

In 2007, Tom Rusert of Sonoma Birding had the idea to include kids in this important “citizen science” effort. He launched the first Audubon Christmas Bird Count (CBC) for Kids. It was so successful that now organizations around the country are starting their own CBC for Kids programs, following Rusert’s model. To learn more about how you could start or join a CBC for Kids, visit: www.audubon.org or www.sonomabirding.com

The information helps scientists protect birds and their habitat—and helps identify environmental problems. For example, changes in bird populations can tell about a threat to the environment, such as groundwater poisoning from improper use of pesticides.

Look through today’s newspaper and count the number of eyes you can find in photos, comics, etc. Have a parent try. Who found the most?

Observation is an important scientific skill. Look carefully to count each type of bird and complete this graph by coloring in a bar for each one you count on this page.

can’t tell you how many bowl games there are because I can’t count that high. Plus some of them feature schools I didn’t even know had a football team. When the final results are in, we may find out that they actually didn’t have a football team. This seasons’ bowl picks are as follows ... NORTH DAKOTA STATE 42, MONTANA STATE 14 (FCS semifinal, Dec. 21, in Fargo, N.D.) ... The Mighty Bison roll on toward their eighth national championship in the last nine years. JAMES MADISON 27, WEBER STATE 7 (FCS semifinal, Dec. 21 in Harrisonburg, Va.) ... If anyone can stop the Bison, it’s JMU. Weber State had just 113 yards of total offense last week and still managed to beat Montana. The Wildcats will need more yards than that to bring down James Madison. BAHAMAS BOWL (Dec. 20 in Nassau): Buffalo 22, Charlotte 21 ... Yes, Virginia, Charlotte has a football team. But it’s not in Virginia. And these are the Buffalo Bulls, not the Bills. FRISCO BOWL (Dec. 20 in Frisco, Texas): Utah State 40, Kent State 20 ... Jordan Love will be playing on Sundays next year. NEW MEXICO BOWL (Dec. 21 in Albuquerque): San Diego State 28, Central Michigan 24 ... The Aztecs have won with defense all year long. This time they show a little offense. CURE BOWL (Dec. 21 in Orlando): Georgia Southern 35, Liberty 33 ... Give me liberty or give me a touchdown. CHERIBUNDI BOWL (Dec. 21 in Boca Raton): SMU 45, Florida Atlantic 41 ... Lose your coach, lose your bowl game. CAMELLIA BOWL (Dec. 21 in Montgomery): Arkansas State 32, Florida International 28 ... I can’t tell you how excited the folks in Montgomery are to have this game in their backyard. I really can’t tell you. MITSUBISHI LAS VEGAS BOWL (Dec. 21 in Las Vegas): Washington 41, Boise State 17 ... In his last game coaching the Huskies, Chris Petersen goes up against the very team he coached to gridiron glory before heading for UW. Thus, people are calling this one the “Chris Petersen Bowl.” NEW ORLEANS BOWL (Dec. 21 in New Orleans): Appalachian State 38, UAB 14 ... The Boys from Boone are headed for a top 25 finish. GASPARILLA BOWL (Dec. 23 in Tampa): Central Florida 34, Marshall 10 ... This is not the best UCF team ever, but it’s close. HAWAII BOWL (Dec. 24 in Honolulu): Brigham Young 31, Hawaii 30 ... Believe it or not, this may be one of the best bowl matchups of the entire slate. INDEPENDENCE BOWL (Dec. 26 in Shreveport): Miami (Fla.) 20, Louisiana Tech 14 ... Tt’s been an incredibly disappointing season for the Hurricanes who sometimes seem to show up without much purpose. QUICK LANE BOWL (Dec. 26 in Detroit): Pittsburgh 24, Eastern Michigan 17 ... Don’t know if the Quick Lane is a bowling alley or a bowl game, but Pitt has too many horses in this one. MILITARY BOWL (Dec. 27 in Annapolis): North Carolina 17, Temple 15 ... The Owls aren’t the patsy they used to be, but the Tar Heels are rejuvenated under Mack Brown. PINSTRIPE BOWL (Dec. 27 in Yankee Stadium): Michigan State 28, Wake Forest 27 ... A close match indeed. TEXAS BOWL (Dec. 27 in Houston): Texas A&M 22, Oklahoma State 20 ... Jimbo Fisher doesn’t have the Aggies where he’d like them to be, but a win here would be a step in the right direction. HOLIDAY BOWL (Dec. 27 in San Diego): USC 38, Iowa 28 ... The rejuvenated Trojans have too much skill for the plodding Hawkeyes. CHEEZ-IT BOWL (Dec. 27 in Phoenix):

Washington State 55, Air Force 31 ... An up-and-down year for the pass-happy Cougars ends on an up note. CAMPING WORLD BOWL (Dec. 28 in Orlando): Notre Dame 27, Iowa State 25 ... The luck of the Irish. COTTON BOWL (Dec. 28 in Dallas): Penn State 34, Memphis 24 ... Lose your coach, lose the game. (See “Florida Atlantic” above). PEACH BOWL (Dec. 28 Playoff semifinal in Atlanta): LSU 45, Oklahoma 21 ... Can anybody stop the Bayou Bengals? FIESTA BOWL (Dec. 28 Playoff semifinal in Glendale, Ariz.): Ohio State 35, Clemson 31 ... Someone finally de-fangs the Tigers. FIRST RESPONDER BOWL (Dec. 30 in Dallas): Western Michigan 29, Western Kentucky 28 ... I guarantee Western will win this one. MUSIC CITY BOWL (Dec. 30 in Nashville): Mississippi State 24, Louisville 21 ... Not a great Bulldog team, but enough to get the job done. REDBOX BOWL (Dec. 30 at Levi’s Stadium): Cal 21, Illinois 13 ... The Bears have too much defense to lose this one. ORANGE BOWL (Dec. 30 in Miami Gardens): Florida 45, Virginia 24 ... Boys playing with Gators. BELK BOWL (Dec. 31 in Charlotte): Virginia Tech 26, Kentucky 20 ... The Hokies recover from their season-ending loss to Virginia. TONY THE TIGER SUN BOWL (Dec. 31 in El Paso): Arizona State 24, Florida State 23 ... If the Sun Devils can beat Oregon, they can certainly beat FSU.
