Davis roads worst in the region Council subcommittee to seek solutions BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer

Legislature backs off on emissions Bill to use clean-car rebates as leverage stalls BY RACHEL BECKER CalMatters
A plan to weaponize cleancar rebates in California’s ongoing feud with the Trump administration over tailpipe pollution stalled in the state Legislature on Monday. The bill, by Assemblyman Phil Ting, D-San Francsico, would have restricted clean-car rebates to people buying from automakers that have sided
with the state. That would have meant millions of dollars of incentives for Californians to buy clean vehicles from Honda, Ford, Volkswagen and BMW — the four major automakers that agreed to follow California’s clean car rules. The bill, AB 40, was up for consideration by the Assembly Transportation Committee this week, but Ting elected to pull it — citing too little support. The decision means the bill will
advance no further this year, which Ting called disappointing. “But I am not deterred,” Ting said in a statement emailed to CalMatters. “I will keep pushing to decarbonize our transportation system because our climate crisis is worsening rapidly.” The legislation was intended as another strike against federal efforts to roll back tough tailpipe pollution rules that require carmakers to curb greenhouse
gas pollution and increase fuel efficiency to reach an average of roughly 50 miles per gallon by model year 2025. The Trump administration has proposed freezing fuel economy standards at 37 miles per gallon — and, in the meantime, has revoked California’s authority to make its own greenhouse gas rules for cars, SUVs, light-duty pickup trucks, and crossover vehicles. California is fighting the move in court. The state

The city of Davis has the worst roads in the region, with a pavement condition index — the standard by which the quality of streets and bike paths is gauged — continuing to decline in recent years, according to a report presented to the City Council on Tuesday. The city’s roads PCI of 57 is worse than virtually every city in the area, including that of Winters, Woodland, West Sacramento, Dixon and Sacramento. The city’s bike paths are even worse off, with a PCI of 52, according to the 2019 Pavement Management Report. In 2015, the PCI for Davis streets was 63; in 2012, the PCI for bike baths was 58. According to the PCI scale, the city’s roads and bike paths currently are in the “fair” category but perilously close to dropping into the “poor” category if they fall below 50.

destinations to the west. The bike path is even a designated Safe Route to School corridor. All but one portion, that is. The section between Salamanca Court and Ponteverde Lane was removed from the suggested safe route several years ago because of safety concerns. At this location, bicyclists headed eastbound on Ponteverde from Tulip must cross the westbound traffic lane on a tight 90-degree curve to access the bike path. To avoid this, bicyclists — frequently children — ride on the north sidewalk. Additionally, city staff have noted, “no
In yet another push to make higher education more accessible in California, a bill filed in the state Legislature last week would extend the state’s tuition-free college guarantee to four years — and beyond community college — for some students, making it one of the most generous programs in the nation.

The Davis City Council on Tuesday moved forward with plans to improve safety on a bike route in East Davis heavily used by school children. Three of the five council members voiced support for extending the bike path that runs parallel and south of Loyola Drive to Tulip Lane and creating a bicycle and pedestrian crossing on Tulip so cyclists no longer have to cross traffic on a section of Ponteverde Lane to enter the path. Mayor Pro Tem Gloria Partida recused herself from the matter because she lives near the location, while Councilman Dan

Carson said he preferred a different fix that involved extending the path to Tulip and creating a four-way stop at Tulip and Ponteverde instead of a new crossing north of the intersection. Mayor Brett Lee and Councilmen Lucas Frerichs and Will Arnold favored the bike path extension and new crossing. The Tulip and Ponteverde multi-use path extension project has been in the works for several years with funding — up to $770,000 — allocated in the city budget. At issue: the multi-use path is a key east-west route connecting Mace Ranch Park, Korematsu Elementary School and Harper Junior High School with

Aguair-Curry honored for nuclear-weapons reduction Special to The Enterprise Assemblywoman Cecilia Aguiar-Curry, D-Winters, has been honored with a national Pacesetter Award from the Women’s Legislators’ Lobby for authoring and successfully enacting AJR 30 in 2018, a joint resolution calling on the Congress to pass legislation requiring a vote of Congress before the U.S. president can be the first to use nuclear weapons in a military conflict. California was the first state in the nation to pass such a resolution, which spurred state legislators in Oregon, Illinois and New Jersey to propose similar bills — jump-starting a nationwide movement to begin to rein in the growing nuclear arms race that threatens the world and diverts resources ($70 billion per year in the US) from pressing domestic needs like housing, education, health care and climate crisis response. “AJR 30 added California’s Legislature to the many voices demanding respect for the balance of powers proposed in HR

Suspect leads cops on twocounty pursuit BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer Davis police arrested an Elk Grove man early Thursday morning following a pursuit that ended in Vacaville. Terrance Duckworth, 46, was contacted shortly after 2 a.m. at the Chevron station on Research Park Drive in South Davis, where Lt. Art Camacho said he was “observed by officers suspiciously loitering in and around the parking lot area.” Contacted by officers regarding his behavior as well as possible vehicle code violations, “Duckworth broke off the contact and fled the scene in his car with officers in pursuit heading westbound on the I-80 freeway.” At the Vacaville city limits, Duckworth struck the center divide guard rail, then fled the crash scene and hid in some nearby bushes, where he was located by a Vacaville police K-9, Camacho said. He was jailed on charges of felony evading, loitering, resisting arrest and driving on a suspended and revoked driver’s license.

Police arrest alleged rock-throwing vandal Ruff life: Dog hitches BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer A Davis man is facing vandalism and other charges after allegedly throwing rocks at moving vehicles early Tuesday morning, police said. Lt. Art Camacho said police received several calls shortly before 1:30 a.m. Tuesday reporting the rock-throwing along Second Street near the Pole Line Road overcrossing. The callers reported sustaining major damage to their vehicles, including at least one shattered windshield, but no injuries.
“Davis P.D. units responded and searched the area when a man matching the description of the suspect in this case was located,” Camacho said. “Upon being contacted, the suspect allegedly threatened the responding officer with a rock before he was subdued.” The suspect, 29-yearold Eric Severin Jenkins, was booked on felony charges of throwing a substance at a vehicle with intent to cause great bodily injury, vandalism and obstructing a police office, Camacho said.

Come get a close-up look at eyes BY SARA THOMPSON Special to the Enterprise
O
ur eyes are a small and very important part or our bodies and lives, but how much do you know about these small, ball-like organs? Most people have heard about the parts of the eye such as the pupil, cornea, rods, cones, and the optic nerve, but how do all these parts work together to help us view our world? The most notable part of the eye is the pupil and iris. The pupil is the black dot in the middle of the eye that allows light to enter. The iris surrounds the pupil and is what causes the pupil to change size, which affects the amount of light that enters the eye. The color of the iris is dependent on genetics and heredity, but it act the same regardless of color. Both the iris and pupil are covered by the cornea, which is a clear protection shield. Immediately behind the pupil is the lens which focuses the light entering onto the lightsensitive parts known as
EXPLORIT SCIENCE CENTER the macula and retina at the back of the eye. Between the lens and the retina is a soft, jelly-like substance known as the vitreous humor. All of these parts of the eye are surrounded by the sclera, which is the white part of the eye that helps keep the shape of the eye and keeps everything protected. The pupil and iris let light into the eye, and the lens focuses it, but it is the retina that interprets what we’re seeing and sends it to the brain. Most people have heard of cones and rods in the eye, but what are they actually used for? Cones are concentrated in the center part of the retina, or the macula. These help us to see color and fine details, such as reading and faces. Rods are located on the outer areas of the retina and help with peripheral vision and are what help us see in the dark. All things we see begin as light bouncing off an

The Avid Reader welcomes author Jennifer Wilhoit and her latest book of nature essays, “Weaned Seals and Snowy Summits,” in-store on Wednesday, Jan. 29. The hour-long event begins at 7:30 p.m. at The Avid Reader, 617 Second St. in downtown Davis. It is free and open to the public. Wilhoit’s “Weaned Seals and Snowy Summits” is co-authored with Stephen B. Jones. WILHOIT Together, they share a Will discuss collection of stories her book that is derived through the exploration of nature focusing on how soil and birds, trees and rivers, rain and cycles can inspire creativity and care for the land. Though Wilhoit and Jones have taken different trails in their lives, they have the same outlook regarding the promotion of environmental stewardship through understanding and enjoyment of the ecological world. The writings of both show how a re-connection with the natural world will enhance not only the life of the reader but also the world at large. Burt J. Kempner, co-creator of Rewilding the Human Machine forum states about the overall theme of the book ,“Given our current environmental crisis, connection (or reconnection) to the natural world is not just a crucial emotional or spiritual experience, it could well be the key to our survival.” Wilhoit is a faculty member and partner of the Charter for Compassion’s

OBITUARY
Dr. James Addison Cheney, a professor emeritus of civil engineering at UC Davis, was the first faculty member in the department of civil engineering who brought a diverse technical background which allowed him to teach a wide range of academic disciplines including civil, aerospace and mechanical engineering, died on Nov. 22, 2019, at home in Davis. He was 92 years old. Dr. Cheney was the founding director of the Center for Geotechnical Modeling at UC Davis and known for his dry wit, generously mentoring the research of more than 100 graduate students and working with 50 different faculty members. His wide range of interests included geotechnical modeling for earthquakes at NASA’s Ames Research Center and Lawrence Livermore National Labs, sheathing materials for satellites and aircraft at Lockheed, peaceful uses of atomic energy through project Plow Shares; and diagnosing the causes and mitigation of racehorse bone fractures with the UC Davis Veterinary School. Dr. Cheney was recognized as a prominent engineer but also as an intellectually generous scholar. When asked by the United Nations and the Italian government to diagnose the causes and approach for the renovation of the “Leaning Tower of Pisa,” he agreed. After initial analysis, he determined the cause of the famous tilting is due to “basic physics” of the tower being “too thin in proportion to its height; it is like balancing a pencil on a table.” When asked why he had not announced his discovery while attending
Dr. James Addison Cheney Feb. 2, 1927 — Nov. 22, 2019
the national conference, he said, “The problem was simple when understood. There were plenty of Italian colleagues who cared and plenty of credit to go around.” The Italian national press release had more than 50 prominent scientists named, along with Dr. Cheney, solving the mystery and enabling the conservation of the iconic tower. James Addison Cheney was born in West Los Angeles on Feb. 2, 1927, to Burton Cheney and Esther Cheney. His father was a hardware store owner in West Los Angeles. His mother was a practicing nurse. Jim grew up in a simpler West Los Angeles beach community attending Hamilton High School. In World War II, from 1945 to 1946, Jim served in the U.S. Navy as a petty officer in the 12th District Navy Headquarters, stationed in San Francisco. Returning to Los Angeles, he attended UCLA, where he met and married Frankyee Jane Jackson of Santa Monica, also attending UCLA. Jim was granted a bachelor’s degree in 1949 and then continued to work for the UCLA department of engineering research. In 1952, he was granted a master’s degree from UCLA in civil engineering. Jim and family fully enjoyed the informal university lifestyle in Los Angeles. Following graduation, he joined L.T. Evans, Foundation Engineers in Los Angeles, for two years as a licensed civil engineer in the State of California. He then joined the Lockheed Missile Systems Division in Sunnyvale. Moving to
Saratoga, he became head of the Strength Analysis Group on the Agena Satellite. In 1959, he won a Lockheed scholarship to pursue graduate studies in engineering mechanics at Stanford University. His Ph.D. was awarded in 1963. In 1962, he joined UC Davis’ new School of Engineering as its first faculty member. His distinct background enabled the new department to teach a myriad of subjects from engineering mechanics to aeronautical sciences. He was one of the early leaders of the development of geotechnical centrifuges. He was the founding director of the Center for Geotechnical and Seismic Modeling at UC Davis and was the principal investigator to build the National Geotechnical Centrifuge at NASA Ames. Under his direction, the large centrifuge was later moved and installed at UCD. Throughout his extensive career, he authored over 50 published papers, 40 lectures, among other technical reviews. His professional contributions led to his being named a Fellow of Emmanuel College at Cambridge University in England. He had three marriages. He is survived by his wife, Elaine Barrett, with whom he lived in Davis and two sons, Michael Cheney and David Cheney, with his second wife Barbara Chadwick. Jim’s four daughters and two sons, Linanne Spangler, Sarah Worley-Cheney, Sharla Cheney and Jennifer Douglas; John Cheney and Matthew Cheney are from his first marriage with Frankyee Jackson (deceased
1966). His brother, Phil Cheney, preceded him in death. Jim’s legacy continues with 10 grandchildren: Renee and Brett (Sarah), Lucas and Bryson (John), Mara and Evan (Sharla), Maggie and Jackson (Linanne), Trevor (Jennifer), Ali (Matt); and two great-grandchildren, Caleb (Trevor) and Summer (Maggie). Jim was married to Elaine Barratt for the last 31 years of his life. They were fond of traveling extensively to many of their favorite destinations, including Paris, Hawaii, Colorado and Arizona. They also enjoyed being active members of the Davis community including the Davis Odd Fellows and St. Martins Episcopal Church. Jim was also an avid San Francisco Giants fan throughout his life. Jim had profound faith, combining theology and science. Jim was a deacon in the Episcopal Church in Davis and the Arch Diocese in Northern California. He also was a Boy Scout leader having been awarded the highest adult honor, the Silver Beaver Award, for leadership. Jim was known to be playful and charming; whether at a Harry Potter-themed wedding in Virginia or at a political event, exploring new ideas, new relationships and new interests. Jim was a devout defender of science, theology and common decency. Cremation services were held privately in December. The “Celebration of James Cheney’s Life” will be held from noon to 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 2, at the Odd Fellows Hall 415 Second St. in Davis; it is open to all friends and family. He will be missed.

SAFETY: ‘Hordes of children going to and from school’ From Page A1
traffic control exists on Tulip at its intersection with Ponteverde Lane, further increasing safety concerns for southbound bicyclists on Tulip Lane turning left to eastbound Ponteverde Lane.” On Tuesday evening, several residents of the neighborhood urged the council to take action to make bicycle travel safer. “We see hordes of children going to and from school every day and this is a real safety issue,” said a woman who lives a halfblock away. “I cannot count the number of near-misses that I have seen where if there hadn’t been a parent accompanying small children or if a car had not stopped at the last moment there would have been something truly disastrous.” “I, too, have witnessed a lot of near-misses there,” said Steven Pimentel, the parent of two Korematsu students who lives a block away from the location. “I can’t send my children to that intersection without myself or my wife,” he told the council, adding that he thinks of himself
as a good, safe driver, but said, “I myself have almost come into contact with cyclists who are being dumped off of the bike path into traffic. “This is important,” he added. “It’s money, it’s an investment (but) I can’t think of a better place to spend this money than in my neighborhood where my children are in danger.” He and other parents urged the council to approve the fix that would extend the bike path west and across Tulip and add flashing beacon lights and a speed table at the crossing as well. “Those are all no-brainers,” Pimental said. “This all makes sense to me … and a very good use of my tax dollars.” A majority of the council agreed and asked staff to prepare a design to send out to bid after determining the cost difference of including a speed table in the crossing or not. “This intersection is unsafe,” said Frerichs. “We need to provide the most superior design possible.” Carson agreed there is “a terrible configuration at that

Back in 2015, fifth-grader Marina Greenwood — with her mom Soji Howe and sister Sage in tow — pedals across Ponteverde Lane near Tulip Lane in East Davis where cars can approach bicyclists on a blind curve at left. Marina’s request to the city to improve bike safety in the neighborhood four years ago may soon be granted. intersection … for kids and bicyclists,” but said he favored a fourway stop at Tulip and Ponteverde to slow cars down instead. “The concern is about the cars, and cars (traveling) up and down Tulip at a high rate of speed. A stop sign slows them down and stops them and then they
accelerate again but they’re going up and down this street more slowly,” said Carson. “That’s why I think this is the design that makes sense.” Of the other design favored by his colleagues, Carson said, “the really bad drivers, this isn’t going to slow them down.”
Arnold disagreed, saying, a four-way stop “is sort of a half measure that’s more costly than a half measure and doesn’t do what we want it to do for bike safety or incentivizing bike use, so my preference is a crossing that gets you across Tulip, not at the intersection and gets you to … the west side of Tulip.” Lee also objected to a four-way stop at the intersection. “It’s important for us to figure out a way for traffic to move smoothly … cars, pedestrians and cyclists,” the mayor said. “This notion that we improve safety by putting four-way stops everywhere is a problem … The goal here is not to stop traffic or get everyone to have to stop at every single intersection they come to.” Rather, Lee said, the favored option with a dedicated crossing on Tulip “has the potential to have a nuanced, good way for people to travel the city safely whether they’re walking or biking or driving a car.” — Reach Anne TernusBellamy at aternus@davisenter prise.net.

COLLEGE: Evolving plan doesn’t go beyond cost of tuition From Page A1
Assemblyman Miguel Santiago, D-Los Angeles. While the bill must still make its way through the legislative process, it has surfaced at a time when free college has become a hot topic during the Democratic presidential primaries, just a year after California’s liberal governor and Legislature gave community college districts money to waive two years of fees for first-time, full-time students. Santiago authored that law, too, and said his goal now is for students from low-income families to see a bachelor’s degree as within their financial reach. “If we want a truly debtfree education, you’ve got to begin that conversation by cutting tuition and fees,” he said. “If you don’t tell these kids every single day that you’re going to go to college, it may not be a reality.” About 22,000 students entered CSU in the 2017-18 school year with an associate’s degree for transfer, a special two-year credential that guarantees a spot at the university. The CSU has not yet taken a position on the bill, said spokesperson Mike Uhlenkamp. While the bill does not contain a cost estimate, the price tag would likely be “in the low hundreds of millions,” said Francisco Rodriguez, chancellor of the Los Angeles Community College District, a bill sponsor. (The overall state budget proposed by Gov. Gavin Newsom last week totaled $222 billion, with nearly $4 billion earmarked for Cal State next year.) Rodriguez said the number of students enrolling in his district from local public high schools had gone up by nearly a quarter since it instituted its free community college program, which also includes extra counseling and other support. He believes more of them would go on to university if tuition were covered. “It raises the level of aspiration, and relieves the pressure of how am I going to pay for college,” he said. Alexa Victoriano, a 27-year-old student at East Los Angeles Community College and Los Angeles Harbor College, hopes to start at Sacramento State next fall after earning two associates degrees for transfer. The process took six years, she said, during which she cleaned
houses, managed a local ice cream shop and took breaks to care for sick and pregnant family members. Moving away from home for the first time would be easier if she had her tuition paid, she said, giving her time to find a new job in Sacramento. “I think it would make a huge difference for a lot of first-generation (students) like myself,” she said. Among free college programs nationwide, New York’s Excelsior Scholarship covers four years of tuition at the state’s public universities for students with family incomes of $125,000 or less, provided they attend full-time and stay in the area after graduation. But most state free-college plans only pay for
“If we want a truly debt-free education, you’ve got to begin that conversation by cutting tuition and fees.” Assemblyman Miguel Santiago D-Los Angeles community college, which helps contain cost and draw bipartisan support. The language of the California bill will likely evolve as the session progresses. While it would cover two years at California State University, only about 40% of transfer students complete a bachelor’s degree that quickly. And it does not address non-tuition expenses such as housing and food, for which students pay
about $2,000 per month on average, according to a survey by the state’s Student Aid Commission. The bill’s cost is also limited by the small size of the state’s existing College Promise program: Twothirds of the state’s two million community college students attend part-time and don’t qualify. Clamor over the rising cost of college in California led to two major bills last year that sought to expand
the state’s main scholarship, the Cal Grant, with cost estimates ranging into the billions. Both stalled, and Gov. Gavin Newsom did not include funding for such an expansion in his proposed 2020-21 budget, though he set aside about $22 million to increase grants for students with children. But the bills’ authors have said they will bring new versions of the legislation back this year. Santiago’s free college proposal could offer legislators another, potentially lessexpensive option for tackling affordability. If passed, it could also increase demand for spots at the already-overcrowded California State University, said Gail Yen, a policy analyst at California Competes,
a nonpartisan higher education think tank.
“The community colleges are doing a lot of reforms to improve student success and to create better pathways to transfer, but there are questions about can the CSUs and UCs take all these students,” she said. “This is a pretty big incentive, so it would put more pressure on building capacity in CSU to take more students.”

Richard A. Dole
June 1, 1932 — Nov. 27, 2019 Richard Alexander Dole died peacefully at his home in Davis, surrounded by his loving family, on Nov. 27, 2019, at the age of 87. Sandy (or Dick, as he was also known) was born in Honolulu in the Territory of Hawaii on June 1, 1932, to Nedra (Johnson) and Richard Alexander Dole Sr. He lived most of his life in Palo Alto, where he graduated from Palo Alto High School in 1950 and from Stanford University, with a degree in chemistry, in 1955. Highlights from his youth included root beer floats at the Southern Pacific station in Palo Alto (which he enjoyed before heading out on his San Francisco Call-Bulletin paper route), biking with friends to Searsville Lake, playing football for the “Paly” Vikings (once carrying the ball seven yards while the crowd gasped) and, at the age of 19, spending three weeks at sea returning a Transpac yacht to San Francisco from Honolulu. Sandy met his wife, Betty Armstrong, through a Stanford acrobatics troupe. They were married for 63 years, until Betty’s death in May 2018. Together they raised two children, Jefferey, who died in 2008,
and Janet, a resident of Davis. His career included work as a chemist for Sunkist, a mail handler for the U.S. Post Office, and an engineering aide for the Santa Clara County Department of Public Works, from which he retired in the 1990s. He belonged to the Knights of Columbus and Sons in Retirement. Among his favorite pastimes were fly fishing in Wawona, reading novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs and James Fenimore Cooper, attending Stanford football games, and playing with his grandchildren. In later years he studied chess and played games through the mail with his father and brother. He also loved to swim and could still do a “one-and-a-half ” off the diving board at Palo Alto’s Rinconada Park well past retirement age. Besides Janet and her husband, Joe Krovoza, Sandy leaves two beloved granddaughters, Charlotte and Lillian Krovoza; his brother, Richard B. Dole (Susan); his sister, Lynn Marley (Craig); and two nieces and a nephew. Services will be private. Gifts in Sandy’s memory may be made to the Yosemite Conservancy or a charity of the donor’s choice.

ROADS: City not spending enough to keep up From Page A1 Already, nearly 30 percent of the city’s streets are considered poor with PCIs below 50 and more than 46 percent of the city’s bike paths. About a quarter of both streets and bike paths are in good condition.
Looking for answers Council members acknowledged the depth of the problem on Tuesday evening and appointed Mayor Pro Tem Gloria Partida and Councilman Dan Carson to a subcommittee that will work with city staff and possibly outside consultants to identify ways to increase annual funding for roadways. The funding need is enormous, however. Simply maintaining the current PCI of the city’s roads will require $75.9 million over the next 10 years, according to the report, plus an additional $22.2 million over the next 10 years to maintain the current bike path PCI. In other words, to maintain what are already the worst roadways in the region will cost the city nearly $100 million over the next decade and the amount of deferred maintenance will continue to grow at the same time. Meanwhile, if the city sticks to its existing budget, allocating $4.3 million per year for streets and $765,000 per year for bike paths, in 10 years the PCI for streets will drop to 49 and for bike paths to 38 while deferred maintenance costs will double. In accepting a role on the subcommittee, Carson noted that the city “got into this situation over many, many years and it will take some years to get out of this situation.” Focusing on finding revenue to fix roads and bike paths will be key. “Some of the work that we need to do to address these rather daunting numbers is just the things we’ve talked about, dealing with the city’s overall fiscal shortfalls, which we last calculated at $8 million but know surely now is more than that,” said Carson. “Our pursuit of economic
development, the work we’re doing right now on the downtown plan, the innovation strategy we’re trying to implement, that is part-andparcel of trying to solve this, as well as the efforts we have made to try to constrain city costs which I think have also been laudable.” Carson tempered expectations that the subcommittee will return to the council “with a grand solution for everything,” noting that “we know the work we need to do.” “But I think there are some interim things we can come forward with, start to move the ball, demonstrate that we really are trying to address this problem and I think it’s important that we start right away because … every day we delay, the cost of repairing the pavement goes up over time.” Partida also agreed to be part of the effort. She said she was surprised at first to see the data showing Davis roads are worse than those in every other local community, but noted that Davis also has many more miles of bike paths than those other cities. “I think that is something to consider,” Partida said. “We have the extra burden of the bike paths that we have to maintain and that are important to our community.”
Miles to go All told, the city of Davis has 51.7 miles of bike paths, in addition to 165.8 miles of roads. Speaking during the public comment period Tuesday evening was Elaine Roberts Musser, who called the state of the city’s roads and paths “abysmal.” “An elderly friend of mine has stopped walking on the bike paths because she has fallen twice due to the uneven pavement,” Musser said. “Davis roads are worse than Woodland, West Sacramento, Winters and Dixon. This is shameful,” she added. “I realize this problem does not originate with the City Council and has been the result of many years of neglected maintenance.” But the reality, Musser said, “is our roads, bike paths and
REBATES: Legislation was at cross-purposes with itself From Page A1 also cut its own deal with Honda, Ford, BMW, and Volkswagen, giving the carmakers time to hit California’s greenhouse gas targets. In return, the carmakers agreed to recognize California’s authority, regardless of federal rollbacks. Even as the bill aimed to restrict payouts from California’s Clean Vehicle Rebate Project, which provides Californians with rebates of up to $7,000 for buying or leasing zeroemission vehicles, the bill also would have set state targets for 5 million zeroemission vehicles on the road by 2030, and 10 million by 2035. That’s why Assemblyman Jim Frazier, D-Fairfield, chair of the Assembly Transportation Committee, decided to neither support nor oppose the bill — which he called contradictory. “On the one hand, AB 40
proposes to codify an ambitious state goal to deploy millions of zero-emission vehicles,” he said in a statement emailed to CalMatters. “And on the other hand, it restricts the state’s ability to incentivize the purchase of those vehicles.” Even as Ting’s bill stalled, however, California already has set in motion plans to leverage its pocketbook against car companies that sided with the Trump administration — pledging in November to stop purchasing cars from manufacturers that haven’t signed on to the state’s deal. At the time, California Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement: “Carmakers that have chosen to be on the wrong side of history will be on the losing end of California’s buying power.” — CalMatters.org is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.

pedestrian walkways have not been maintained as they should. “It is either pay me now or pay me much more later on down the road, pardon the pun. For every dollar spent on roads now, something like $10 is saved that will have to be spent in the future to fix things. “I strongly urge the City Council to support staff ’s recommendation to identify opportunities and mechanisms to increase annual funding allocations for roadway maintenance,” she said. Also addressing the council was Nico Fauchier-Magnan, president of Bike Davis, who urged the council to consider how proposed development projects could worsen the situation if the infrastructure needed for those projects can’t be maintained by the existing tax base. He noted that much like pensions owed to city employees, infrastructure — including roads — “is very much a financial liability.” “Those roads, we can’t sell them, we can’t get revenue from them, but we have to maintain them, to spend money on them because our residents depend on them,” said
Fauchier-Magnan. “I think that should inform how we look at new proposed projects and developments and we should take a very rational and mathematical approach and say, ‘Is this new development going to bring enough income to cover the future liabilities that come with it?’ ” Several council members bemoaned the failure of Measure I two years ago, a parcel tax which would have raised $3 million annually for roads and bike paths. “Unfortunately, 57 percent of voters said yes,” noted Mayor Brett Lee, “but we needed to get to twothirds.” But Measure I wouldn’t have even provided the funding needed to maintain the current PCI, noted Councilman Will Arnold, “just to show folks how big the problem is. “We all recognize the weight of this and the needs here,” he added. Now Partida and Carson, along with city staff, will be tasked with coming up with solutions. — Reach Anne Ternus-Bellamy at aternus@davisenterprise.net. Follow her on Twitter at @ATernusBellamy.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The actions to be considered at the public hearing relate to the Field & Pond Use Permit for a large event center and bed and breakfast/lodging facility. The project was previously approved, and a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) adopted, by the Board of Supervisors on October 11, 2016. A subsequent lawsuit regarding the project and MND was filed with the Yolo County Superior Court on November 14, 2016, alleging that the Use Permit was in violation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), among other things. The Superior Court issued a judgment on June 20, 2018, finding that the MND was deficient as to three special status species, the tricolored blackbird, valley elderberry longhorn beetle (VELB), and golden eagle, and dismissing all other claims. A court-ordered Writ of Mandate required the County to undertake further study and preparation of an Environmental Impact Report to address only the potential impacts of the project on the tricolored blackbird, VELB, and golden eagle allowing the Use Permit to remain intact.

Dear Annie Get Out Now! Dear Annie: I have never felt the need to write in until I read the letter from “Please Help Guide Me,” who is despairing about how her husband of one and a half years is abusive to her and her daughter. My heart was breaking for her, and my blood was boiling. She sounds depressed and thoroughly beaten down, and she needs to get mad and get out NOW, if only for her child. I’ve learned that anger is a great motivator. She must put her daughter’s safety above everything else, keeping in mind that emotional abuse can and often is worse than physical abuse. That mother and child deserve better. It was good of you to suggest the National Domestic Violence Hotline, but first she needs to grab her child and leave; even a shelter would be a better living situation. And have her contact an attorney. — Sympathetic Woman

Dear Sympathetic Woman: Your letter offers a great suggestion. You are correct that she should leave the household immediately and get out of the abusive situation. ——— Dear Annie: I appreciated the letter from “Another Aging Individual,” who saw a mother teaching her kid to be respectful of her elders. I’d like to add a message to parents, which is to teach your kids to skip the handicapped restroom stalls. I was at a family comedy show where the bathroom was very small, with only two stalls, and the little girl who went in before me
took the handicapped stall. I had to squeeze into the tiny regular stall instead. Fortunately, I am able to stand without using the handrails, but I was barely able to fit. I kept thinking that I was squeezed in while the little girl, who didn’t seem impaired in any way, hogged the larger stall. — A Tip for Your Readers Dear A Tip for Your Readers: Thank you for your gentle reminder about handicapped stalls. ——— Dear Annie: I’ve been reading Ann Landers and “Dear Abby,” the famous twins, since the 1950s.

I often find myself finishing one of the reader queries and thinking, “I wonder how she will advise this person...” I sure wouldn’t know what to tell them.

Davis teachers deserve better treatment BY GREGG COOK Special to The Enterprise
T
he Davis Joint Unified School District Board of Trustees is charged with ensuring quality education opportunities for Davis students and its No. 1 asset in meeting that responsibility is Davis Teachers. In November, the board recognized the need to appropriately pay those teachers while at the same time demeaning them. There is no question that Davis teachers are underpaid and are entitled to a salary that recognizes their contribution to our community. At the same time, teachers are entitled to respect and that’s where the board fell dramatically short. Rather than scour the school district’s budget to find the resources to pay our teachers, the board chose to pass the buck to Davis voters and to the teachers themselves. A tentative agreement with the Davis Teachers’ Association to augment the current teacher salary schedule for each teacher by $2,900 dollars per year and an annual health care benefits increase of $345 was ratified by the board contingent upon the passage of an escalating parcel tax increase of $198 per year to be placed on the March 3
COMMENTARY primary election ballot. Board members have required that Davis teachers actively support the parcel tax measure, including phone-banking and precinct walking, a demeaning requirement sending out our teachers to phone call or knock on doors asking Davis voters to give them a pay raise, discrediting their professional dignity. The responsibility for providing fair and deserved pay rests with the school board, not the teachers. The DJUSD board has resisted all effort to fulfill this responsibility. The proposed parcel tax will generate approximately $3 million dollars in the first year and will escalate in perpetuity, that’s forever, compounded annually based on inflation; no sunset, no periodic review by Davis voters. Davis’ school budget for 201920 is $97 million dollars, the $3 million dollar proposed parcel tax is approximately 3% of the current budget. Is it possible that a 3% reduction couldn’t be found in a review of current budget expenditures? The board has strenuously rejected proposals to audit existing education programs to
determine if they are making the contribution to our students as intended. The board rejected a public line-item review of the budget, with district staff stating that there are over 10,000 line items and such a review would be impossible. The board rejected a suggestion that it impanel a citizens’ advisory committee to review the current budget and make recommendations regarding fulfilling the obligation and need to properly financially support our teachers. The district has managed to find the money to conduct a poll assessing the potential success of a parcel tax proposal and pay for the development of the proposal language. The cost of conducting the election will be high, not just to the teachers requiring them to “actively support” the ballot measure but to the district’s financial standing as well, where is this money coming from? The Yolo and Solano County Registrars of Voters will not bear the cost of preparing the sample ballot, ballot statements, election ballots and vote counting, the DJUSD will be required to pay for those services. When asked of board members what those cost will be, they had no idea. Fulfilling their responsibility as trustees overseeing the quality education provided our students,
supporting professional staff and assuring process transparency are not hallmarks of the current DJUSD Board of Trustees or the District’s administrative staff. Whether refusing to disclose payments to legal counsel or indepth public review of revenues and expenditures, the board leaves it up to individual research, analysis and interpretation.
S
o what does that individual review, analysis and interpretation of the budget reveal that may be utilized to reduce or eliminate expenditures that would result in increasing the funds available to properly pay our teachers? The Sacramento Bee reported last year that Davis teachers are paid 10% less than neighboring communities while our Superintendent is paid 10% more than neighboring districts. A review of administrative personnel demonstrates an increase of 20 new positions added in the last three years. According to the district’s current budget information, the district spends $716 dollars per student per year (Average Daily Attendance) for administrative salaries, that’s $21,480 for each 30 student class room, a little less than 50% of the average

to detect the following differences in radar cross-section, which distinguishes between flying objects of various sizes. The blip created by a commercial airliner would be clear. Consider that a Boeing 737-800, like the one downed in Iran, is just under 130 feet long with a wingspan of nearly 113 feet, whereas a Tomahawk cruise missile, with booster, is just over 20 feet long, with a wingspan of less than nine feet. A B-52 bomber’s length is just over 159 feet with a 185-foot wingspan. In addition, the Boeing 737800 had a transponder which “squawked” its identification to military radars as well as the airport tower. We don’t know — and we may never find out — why Ukraine flight 752 was brought down by Iran’s military. Julia Lutch Davis
Support for Provenza
I am writing to wholeheartedly support Jim Provenza’s reelection to District 4 Yolo County Supervisor. I have observed Jim as supervisor when he has been involved with decisions about the future of the Yolo County Detention Center, the Office Of Refugee Resettlement grant to the county; meetings with key city and university players; meetings on climate change and our environment, as well as how to welcome and support immigrants; meetings regarding our most vulnerable — seniors, disabled, the poor, and those that can’t speak for themselves. From these I’ve learned Jim is quiet until he has something important to say. Jim seeks more information before making any decision. He truly listens. Jim is an innovative planner and often behind the scenes activist. Jim is compassionate and ethical. He is a team player and also able to forcefully drive through his own ideas. Jim is totally driven to make Yolo County a great place to live and safe for everyone. His drive is not to be a bigwig or be seen — it is to make a real difference now and later. Beyond the meetings, Jim is an energetic and effective County Supervisor. I know he has our back! Look at Jim’s accomplishments; pretty amazing! They happened because, 24/7, he is analyzing, thinking and testing possible solutions. I repeat, Jim Provenza is one of a kind. Let’s keep him working in Yolo County. Sandy Filby Davis
Measure G will keep our community strong
As a Davis teacher, parent, and homeowner, I am deeply invested in our community. To me, the core of this incredible community is the schools and the people inside them. When you really think about it, education is all about people. The individual human beings who come together in a community of schools to work and learn together. I’ve taught in three separate school districts, and since officially joining DJUSD in 2013, my sense of pride, belonging, and dedication has soared. That is 100% because of the people in our community — the educators, students, and their families.
I’d never felt so supported and appreciated by a community until I taught here, and I’ve never worked with such a talented and caring team of teachers. It is heartbreaking to watch these talented and caring teachers leave our district because they can’t support their families on the salary DJUSD provides. It is even harder to watch the children say goodbye to the teachers they love, sometimes year after year, because of the low pay. As my daughter approaches high school, college tuition is looming in the future and now I'm faced with the same question that my colleagues have had to answer: Do I leave for better pay elsewhere so I can better support my family, or do I continue teaching in my community, where I've had the best years of my teaching career? Please support Measure G, let’s keep our wonderful community together, and welcome new members who will help Davis schools remain the caring and inspiring places we know and love, and from which we all benefit so greatly. Lauren Kahn Willett Elementary
Explain this first Jim Provenza’s published view is that people need to show up regarding issues: “Supervisor Jim Provenza of Davis said the board received numerous emails on the topic prior to Tuesday’s meeting but noted that none of those folks showed up at the meeting.” This was published in a past edition of the Davis Enterprise. Many of us find it inconvenient to attend meetings, and hope that emails or letters will convey our views. We live under a representative form of government.

It wasn’t ‘mechanical failure’ According to Brigadier Gen. Amir-Ali Hajizadeh, commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Aerospace Force, “The operator identified the plane as a cruise missile but was unable to contact the central air defense command to confirm it. So he had to choose between shooting it down or not, and he choose (sic) to do it.” The Tor-M1 battery near the airport would be integrated with other radar equipment in the local air defense system.

I am pleased to write to offer my 100% support to Yolo County Supervisor Jim Provenza’s re-election to the Board of Supervisors. Jim has been a friend and mentor to me over these past two decades in his role as Davis Joint Unified Schools Trustee and county supervisor. I was closely affiliated with Jim as I moved through my community activities as Davis High School social sciences teacher, where he never failed to provide the professional support and guidance from his spot on the board of education. In my roles on the Yolo County Grand Jury and planning commission, I could always count on Supervisor Provenza to provide an honest appraisal of the political landscape in the county. Jim has proven himself to be one of the finest representatives of the regional interests of the Davis community while serving on the Board of Supervisors, at the same time taking a global view of the needs of our entire county. He follows in the footsteps of some very capable Davis-based county leaders, such as Betsy Marchand, Helen Thomson, Lois Wolk, David Rosenberg and Mariko Yamada. I would place Jim Provenza in the same category of dedicated and knowledgeable leadership we have come to appreciate in our homegrown leaders. I will be supporting Supervisor Jim Provenza in the fast approaching election, and I encourage your readers to do the same. Don Winters Davis

teacher salary; do we really need 15 administrative staff to support 30 students? Did we really need the recently added 3rd Vice Principal at Davis High? The DJUSD budget identifies “non-employee costs” in the following categories: materials and supplies, $1.4 million; outside services, $1.3 million; and travel and conferences, $2 million. Isn’t it reasonable to assume that “non-employee costs” expenditures could be reduced; contrary to threats of increasing class size, reducing programs or closing school(s) as pronounced by District staff and board members? As Dan Walters wrote in The Davis Enterprise last January, “if new school taxes are proposed in Sacramento, Los Angeles or anywhere else, officials shouldn’t try to fool voters with clever buzzwords. They should be honest about finances, own up to their miscues, own up to pension and health care expenditures….” The district’s budget reflects its priorities. Clearly, support for the No. 1 asset of the District, its teachers, is not a priority; but a bloated district office, travel and conferences, outside services and materials and supplies seem to be. — Gregg Cook is a longtime Davis resident.

Pets of the week
Lots of animals are waiting for “forever homes” at the Yolo County Animal Shelter, 2640 E. Gibson Road in Woodland. Among them is William (A177041), a sweet and mellow 3-year-old Bernese mountain dog mix. He has so a lot of love to give, according to shelter volunteers.
William
Also looking for a good home is Brea (A128999), an 11-year-old female cat surrendered after her owner passed away. She’s a lap cat who loves people and gets along well with other cats. All shelter animals are up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, and spayed or neutered. The shelter is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays (closed for lunch from 1 to 2 p.m. each day). For information on how to adopt a pet, call 530-668-5287 or visit www.petfinder.com/ member/us/ca/woodland/yolo-county-animal-services-ca283/. Over at Rotts of Friends Animal Rescue, you’ll find Kit is a 2½-year-old neutered male pit terrier.

ith a new year come new laws. What’s new this year are several impressive animal welfare laws that impact the lives of all Californians whether they have pets or not. Senate Bill 313, the Circus Cruelty Prevention Act, bans circuses from having performance animals other than dogs, cats and horses. This bill comes two years after Ringling Bros. closed its traveling circus after 146 years on the road. Senate Bill 1249 bans the sale of cosmetics that have been tested on animals. It was signed by then Governor Jerry Brown in 2018 but didn’t go into effect until Jan. 1, 2020. It is now illegal for cosmetics companies to import or sell products in California that have been tested on animals. In 2015, California banned the trapping of bobcats. This year, Assembly Bill 44 went further and bans the sale and manufacture of new fur items. California is the first state in the nation to ban recreational and commercial fur trapping of animals such as foxes, coyotes and beavers. This law makes it “unlawful to sell, offer for sale, display for sale, trade, or otherwise distribute for monetary or nonmonetary consideration a fur product (and also makes) it unlawful to manufacture a fur product in the state for sale.” Assembly Bill 1260 “makes it a misdemeanor to import into the state for commercial purposes, to possess with intent to sell, or to sell within the state, the dead body, or a part or product thereof, of a crocodile or alligator … or product of an iguana, skink, caiman, hippopotamus, or a teju, ring or Nile lizard.” It is interesting to note that California banned the sale of alligator and crocodile skins back in 1970 but the law was effectively blocked for 50 years by the exoticskins industry. What’s ahead? Although Governor Newsom vetoed several animal-welfare bills, they are being reworked. The canine blood banks bill was vetoed because Newsom was concerned about privately owned animal blood colonies that keep animals in cages for the purpose of drawing their blood. He has asked the legislature to revise the bill to address this issue.

Acme’s ‘The Burials’ a powerful show Play’s plot deals with tragic and timely issue
The only negative thing about this show is that there were so few people in the audience. This is an excellently acted play with an important message and I hope that more people will come to see it.
BY BEV SYKES Enterprise theater critic
A
cme Theatre Company is opening its 40th season with an excellent, powerful play called “The Burials,” by Caitlin Parish, directed by Emily Henderson. In its 40-year history, Acme has never shied away from controversial subjects and this play about a school shooting and gun control delivers another compelling message that will have the audience talking when they leave the theater. In fact, leaving the theater, I heard one group talking about how it was “the most real thing I’ve ever seen” and another sadly remarking that “this is the way things are now.” The cast of nine are uniformly good, with Morgan HendrixChupa outstanding as Sophie Martin, the daughter of Sen. Ryan Marin (Grey Turner), who is running for re-election. The play is loosely based on the Greek tragedy “Antigone” by Sophocles, in which a desperate young woman single-handedly defies an unjust law in order to bury her brother, and is punished by being buried alive. This is a multimedia presentation, with three large screens over the stage and TV cameras on either side. The middle screen is for YouTube videos of Ben Martin (Sam Cubbage), son of the senator, leading up to his decision to go on a shooting rampage in his school and end

The Martin family members — from left, Ryan (Grey Turner), Sophie (Morgan Hendrix-Chupa) and Chloe (Rebecca Hirsch) — mourn after a tragic event occurs at Sophie and Chloe’s high school.
Great production What: Acme Theatre Company’s “The Burials” When: 7 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday through Jan. 19 Where: Veterans Memorial Theater, 203 E. 14th St. in Davis. Tickets: $15 general, $10 for students and seniors, available at acmetheatre.net. his own life. The one problem with the videos is that the sound needed to be louder; they were not always easy to hear.
Ben begins his shooting rampage on voting day, as his father is on television being interviewed by reporter Zoe Lucas (Jemima Aldas, who also plays one of the schoolteachers, Mrs. Souder). The ability to see each individually on the large screens was a wonderful idea. The screens are also used to display the many twitter and email messages received by the Martins, condemning them following the shooting. Turner is excellent as the politician/father, though he is extremely unlikable. His feelings about his son are hard to accept and his treatment of his daughter, whom he has taught to think for herself, when she has her
own strong feelings about the shooting and about her brother, is just downright cruel. While there is no violence seen on stage, there are vivid descriptions of what happened. We hear of a pile of bodies and attempts to escape. Chloe Martin (Rebecca Hirsch), Sophie’s sister, also has stained knees from kneeling in someone’s blood. (Hirsch has problems projecting and much of her dialogue is lost.) Parish’s script tries to tackle too many subjects for one play. The Martin family must learn how to deal with Ben’s actions and their own grief, to ask how they might have helped Ben and how do they move forward, but, in addition, they argue about
what can be done about gun control. The girls return to school, and face ostracism from by other students. Only Sophie’s friend Janette (Wren Arellano Calderon) remains positive and supportive of Sophie, though Sophie wants only to be alone. Janette, it turns out, is hiding anger issues of her own. Janette’s boyfriend Jayden (Maya Bailey) is angry with Sophie and seems to blame her for his pain at the loss of friends. The fistfight among the four was done very well. Brianna (Sara Su), a survivor of the shooting, seems to have the most reasonable feeling about the shooting and seems to understand Ben. Sadly, however, Su spoke very softly, and we missed most of her dialogue. The only negative thing about this show is that there were so few people in the audience. This is an excellently acted play with an important message and I hope that more people will come to see it.
Taproot New Music Festival composes connections Special to The Enterprise
The Taproot New Music Festival is a festival of fresh new sounds, but it is also about building connections among ensembles, composers and audiences. The seven-concert festival at UC Davis, from Jan. 30 to Feb. 2, features many university-affiliated artists, but has just as many coming from outside. The UCD department of music has mounted a new music festival every other year for a decade. Going forward, Taproot will be the name and a mix of UCD and outside ensembles and composers will be the format. “The festival is rooted in this place and produces unique works,” said Sam Nichols, festival coordinator, composer and music department faculty member. “The different groups and people come together and meet one another and share. We didn’t just want groups parachuting in and

New adaptation of this classic is good-natured fun BY DERRICK BANG Enterprise film critic Hollywood had a distressing habit, in the 1960s and early ’70s, of turning classic children’s books into musicals. This lamentable trend started with 1964’s “Mary Poppins,” which — by becoming that year’s third most popular film — lit the fuse on what followed. Subsequent entries, most with positively dire songs, included 1968’s “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,” “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” (as 1971’s “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”) and — I positively shudder — 1973’s “Tom Sawyer.” Not to be left out, animated examples included 1966’s “Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree,” 1970’s “The Phantom Tollbooth” and 1973’s “Charlotte’s Web.” Every one of which, without exception, destroyed the gentle tone so carefully wrought by the authors of the respective books. A few of these films may have been popular — most were just this side of awful — but many loyal young readers felt utterly betrayed, with ample justification. Hollywood didn’t “get” children’s literature any better than it understood the decade’s counter-culture revolution. All of which brings us to 1967’s “Doctor Dolittle,” arguably one of the worst offenders. Rex Harrison may have been suitably refined and British in the title role — albeit much too old — but the film is a bloated, over-produced train wreck that pleased nobody, but nonetheless pulled nine Academy Award nominations (including, the mind doth boggle, Best Picture) … only because 20th Century Fox bought votes by serving fancy buffet dinners, cocktails and bottomless champagne at all pre-nomination screenings. (The ploy succeeded, if only partially. The film won two Oscars — Special Effects and Song — the latter robbing Bacharach/ David’s vastly superior “The Look of Love” from its rightful statuette.) Harrison turned British author Hugh Lofting’s quiet bachelor veterinarian, who operates a clinic in the small village of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh, into a creaky song-anddance man. Eddie Murphy made him a wise-cracking animal-rights advocate in a 1998 comedy that borrowed little but the title and premise of Lofting’s books. Robert Downey Jr., in turn, has turned Dolittle into a superhero. Director/co-scripter Stephen Gaghan’s “Dolittle” has its charms, and it’s
COURTESY PHOTO
Having joined the unlikely crew of a ship heading for an island that never has been found, young Tommy Stubbins (Harry Collett) is befriended by a frigophobic polar bear (named Yoshi) and an uncharacteristically meek mountain gorilla (Chee-Chee). always nice to see a familyfriendly fantasy that wears its mild PG rating with pride. The film is faithful to the character’s mid-19th century roots, with an ambiance impeccably replicated by production designer Dominic Watkins and costume designer Jenny Beavan. Modern CGI technology also allowed effects supervisors Nicolas Aithadi and John Dykstra to imbue Dolittle’s many animal friends not only with speech but also all manner of delightful personalities. (Given this application of cinematic magic, though, I’m surprised we never get to meet the two-headed pushmi-pullyu.) No question: The result is a lot of fun. But Gaghan and his gaggle of co-writers — Dan Gregor, Doug Mand and Thomas Shepherd — don’t even try for Lofting’s quaint tone, and their story is more re-imagining than adaptation. Editor Craig Alpert’s rat-a-tat pacing, and this adventure’s constant dollops of peril, have more in common with the current “Jumanji” series. Downey makes Dolittle a Welsh gadget inventor and animal lover who, with his wife Lily — as revealed in a brief animated prolog — has traveled the world to turn their massive estate into a wild animal park laden with all manner of exotic critters. But when Lily fails to return from another routine voyage, after having drowned at sea, Dolittle closes the park and becomes a recluse who refuses all contact with other people. Until, one day, his walls are breached by two adolescents: Tommy Stubbins (Harry Collett, playing a character lifted from Lofting), needing help to save a squirrel he unintentionally shot; and Lady Rose (Carmel Laniado), an emissary from the equally young Queen Victoria (Jessie Buckley), who is gravely ill with a mysterious ailment, and pins her hopes on Dolittle’s wide-ranging medical knowledge. Dolittle cannot refuse the queen, and — much to the Royal Court’s consternation — shows up with half-a-dozen of his animal friends. After a brief
examination, he sadly announces that the queen’s condition is terminal; her only hope is a cure that’s never been tested, requiring the fruit from an “Eden Tree” that’s never been seen … which grows solely on an island that’s never been found. And — wouldn’t you know it — Lily was searching for that very island when she perished. Stuff and nonsense, insists royal physician Dr. Blair Müdfly (Michael Sheen), a former school peer of Dolittle’s at Edinburgh, who has been insufferably jealous of his more flamboyant colleague ever since. Indeed, Müdfly is more than envious; he’s clearly up to no good, and subsequently becomes the villain of this increasingly chaotic piece. Sheen plays him to gleeful, Snidely Whiplash perfection; one wishes he had a mustache to twirl. The droll, snarky exchanges between Downey and Sheen notwithstanding, most of the film’s comedy emanates from the various critters, all voiced by familiar stars. Emma Thompson’s Polynesia, a parrot who is Dolittle’s oldest friend and most trusted confidante, also narrates this saga. She’s wise and practical, qualities that radiate from Thompson’s every spoken syllable. Poly also champions young Tommy’s desire to become Dolittle’s apprentice: a request the doctor greets with one of Downey’s signature dubious glances. Yoshi (voiced by John Cena) is a polar bear who hates the cold; nervously placid mountain gorilla Chee-Chee (Rami Malek) prefers chess and word games to physical activities such as boxing and wrestling. Insecure ostrich Plimpton (Kumail Nanjiani) resents being Dolittle’s trusty steed; ditzy duck Dab-Dab (Octavia Spencer), pressed into service as Dolittle’s nurse, forever confuses scalpels with stalks of celery. Some of the relentless, good-natured verbal byplay succeeds; the mild rivalry between Yoshi and Plimpton is a hoot. Other performances are rather strained, as with
‘Dolittle’ Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Michael Sheen, Antonio Banderas, Emma Thompson, Harry Collett, Rami Malek, Kumail Nanjiani, Octavia Spencer and Jim Broadbent Rating: PG, for no particular reason Craig Robinson’s way overthe-top handling of the aforementioned injured squirrel, Kevin. A little of him goes a long way, and we get far more than a little. The same is true of Jason Mantzoukas’ equally tiresome performance as an insufferably verbal dragonfly. Selena Gomez appears briefly as a giraffe; Marion Cotillard as a fox; and Ralph Fiennes as a Bengal tiger with complex mommy issues. Getting back to homo sapiens, Antonio Banderas channels his delightfully roguish Puss in Boots personality as the sinister Rassouli, fearsome king of the pirate Port of Monteverde. He and Dolittle have an unpleasant history; circumstances naturally will prompt a reluctant reunion. Collett is an appropriately eager young acolyte, and it’s a shame we don’t see more of Laniado’s Lady Rose; she’s charm and grace personified. The action is propelled by Danny Elfman’s appropriately larkish and flamboyant score (with nary a song to be heard). I worry that this film won’t find its target audience, having been dumped unceremoniously in the early January doldrums that always follow the holiday season’s Oscar bait. That’s a shame; although nothing special, this “Dolittle” is quite entertaining. Even if Lofting’s fans, alas, still await a faithful adaptation. — Read more of Derrick Bang’s film criticism at http://derrickbang. blogspot.com. Comment on this review at www. davisenterprise.com.
TAPROOT: Eight composers wrote festival pieces From Page B1 Davis’ Armadillo Music. Eight composers were selected to create pieces for the festival. They are from the U.S., Russia, Turkey, Singapore and Iran, and include UCD doctoral music composition students Daniel Godsil and Aida Shirazi. The orchestra concert will include a new piece by music director and faculty member Christian Baldini and a recent work by Jean Ahn, who was a participant in a UC Davis new music festival in 2018. Both pieces feature soloist Soo Yeon Lyuh, who performs on the haegeum, a Korean fiddle. “Our goal was to bring together composers and performers and to share
something unique with our audiences here in Northern California,” Nichols said. “Our matchmaking builds real relationships between people who wouldn’t have otherwise met. It offers our community something special — performances of new works written especially for the festival.” Taproot is a collaboration with the Robert and Margrit Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts. “It’s no small thing that Taproot genuinely ticks the big three boxes of the UC mission — teaching, research and public service,” said Jeremy Ganter, associate executive director of the Mondavi Center. “The music department has built a festival that, all
at once, develops new talent, adds new music to the repertoire and creates opportunities for fascinating and provocative

Hear Norwegian jazz at Mondavi BY JEFF HUDSON Enterprise staff writer Norwegian jazz pianist Tord Gustavsen brings his trio to the Vanderhoef Studio Theatre from Sunday through Wednesday, Jan. 22-25.
Gustavsen was born in Oslo in 1970. He and his trio have released four albums on the widely respected European ECM label, the most recent being 2018’s “The Other Side,” which references J.S. Bach chorales (which have
appealed to a number of jazz performers over the years) and traditional Scandanavian hymns. He also has recorded albums for ECM with a quartet and with a larger ensemble. Showtimes are 7 p.m.
Wednesday, Jan. 22, and 8 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 23, Friday, Jan. 24, and Saturday, Jan. 25. Tickets are $47-$59 general, with discounts for students, available at www. MondaviArts.org or by calling 530-754-2787.
WOH’s ‘Sister Act’ a delightful, fun evening BY BEV SYKES Enterprise theater critic “Sister Act,” the new show at the Woodland Opera House, directed by Jason Hammond, is an absolute delight from start to finish. Based on the 1992 Whoopi Goldberg movie, the stage show adds music by Alan Menken with lyrics by Glenn Slater. The musical turns the storywith-music movie into a musicalwith-story stage show. I missed some of the story of the nuns venturing out of the convent and into the community, but the musical numbers are so much fun, it makes up for it. Woodland has amazing talent in the cast. Deborah Hammond is Deloris Van Cartier, a lounge singer under the thumb of her gangster boyfriend Curtis (David Ewey), who witnesses a murder he commits. Fearing her life is in danger, Deloris reports to police officer “Sweaty” Eddie (Erik Catalan), who remembers Deloris from high school and hides her in a local convent under the name Sister Mary Clarence. Hammond is magnificent with a strong voice, captivating personality and quick comedic timing. Each of the 10 numbers in which she is featured is wonderful. Over the course of the two-hour show, she goes through a transformative process that makes her reevaluate her priorities.
Don’t miss it! What: Woodland Opera House’s “Sister Act” When: 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays through Feb. 2. Where: 340 Second St. in Woodland Tickets: $25 for adults, $23 for seniors and $12 for children; balcony tickets are $15 for adults and $7 for children, available online at www.woodlandopera house.org or by calling 530-6669617. The role of Mother Superior has been expanded from the movie version, and how lucky we are for that. Lenore Sebastian is vocally every bit Hammond’s equal. Mother Superior is frustrated with having to hide a woman of whom she does not approve, who is such a disruption to her quiet convent. Her anguished “I Haven’t Got a Prayer,” trying to ask God for guidance, was a standout. To give her something to do, Mother Superior puts Sister Mary Clarence in the tone-deaf choir, a group so discordant it has driven
parishioners away. With the addition of a real musician, the choir shapes up quickly and becomes so popular the church is filled again, though Mother Superior is shocked by the modern twist to some of the beloved hymns. But Monsignor O’Hara (David Cross) is pleased with the popularity of the choir, which has removed the danger of having to close the church for lack of congregation. Sister Mary Patrick had a somewhat larger role in the movie, but Judith Boreham still brings her personality out beautifully, and Jadi Galloway, as the postulant Sister Mary Robert, is shy and retiring, but when she comes out of her shell, she displays a wonderful, rich voice. Her “The Life I Never Led” was quite poignant. Catalan also has a powerful voice and his Act 2 costume gets the biggest laugh of the night (kudos to Denise Miles and Kathy Dixon). Gangsters Joey (Spencer Alexander), Pablo (Miles Meckling) and TJ (Michael Davis Smith) get laughs in “Lady in the Long Black Dress,” as they describe how their manly charms will affect the nuns and help them find Deloris. With Deloris safe, the show ends gloriously, with the nuns in Vegas-worthy habits, receiving a well-deserved tumultuous standing ovation.

American Bach Soloist to host young countertenor BY JEFF HUDSON Enterprise staff writer Countertenor Aryeh Nussbaum Cohen — a young singer who has appeared with the San Francisco Opera, the San Francisco Symphony, the London Symphony Orchestra, the Houston Grand Opera and other notable companies — will be the soloist the American Bach Soloists at 7 p.m. Monday, Jan. 27, at Davis Community Church, 412 C St. Tickets are $38-$98, and can be reserved at americanbach.org or by calling 415-621-7900. Some readers may be asking themselves, “So what is a countertenor?” During the 1700s, many Baroque composers composed a substantial amount of vocal music for high-voiced castrati — “a male who had been surgically altered before puberty to prevent his voice from changing,” according to scholar Victor Gavenda of the American Bach Soloists. “Because the castrati kept the vocal apparatus of a child, but developed the larger lung capacity and bone structure of a fullgrown man, they were capable of producing a high-pitched vocal tone of great power and agility.” The most famous of the castrati enjoyed something resembling modern pop-star status and they were paid enormous fees by

range using what singers call a “head voice,” which is basically a form of falsetto. Others followed the path that Deller blazed, and in recent decades, countertenors have reclaimed many roles that Handel and others wrote for castrati in the first half of the 1700s. “The recent generation of countertenors continues to develop their technical and expressive abilities to levels that
give us a glimpse of the experience (of listeners who heard the castrati in the 1700s),” according to Gavenda. Countertenor Aryeh Nussbaum Cohen, who is in his 30s, last year released his debut album with the American Bach Soloists, which was well received. Writing in San Francisco Classical Voice, reviewer Jason Victor Serinus described Nussbaum Cohen as “as a complete artist with an impressive technique. Diction, phrasing, breath support, full rounded tone, and a flair for ornamentation — the veritable checklist of technical attributes essential to great Baroque singing — are there in spades. So is a total commitment to the swings between melancholy, despair, anguish, nobility, fury, pain, and love under duress at the core of the (Baroque) repertoire.” In Davis, Nussbaum Cohen and the American Bach Soloists will be performing compositions by Dietrich Buxtehude (16371707) and Georg Melchior Hoffmann (1679-1715), as well as the earliest sacred vocal piece by Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741), his setting of the Stabat Mater. The program also includes a triple concerto by J.S. Bach (1685-1750) — the Bach Soloists will be featuring harpsichordist Gabriel Benton, violinist Tekla
“The recent generation of countertenors continues to develop their technical and expressive abilities to levels that give us a glimpse of the experience.” Victor Gavenda music scholar Cunningham and flutist Sandra Miller — and a Concerto Grosso by Georg Muffat (1653-1704). At 6 p.m., one hour prior to the concert, ticketholders can enjoy a free lecture by musicologist and ABS violone player Steven Lehning (who studied for several years at UC Davis, and played a recital on the viola da gamba at the Pitzer Center on the UC Davis campus earlier this season). Always a favorite speaker for ABS audience members, he will share his broad and eclectic expertise about the music during a 45-minute talk that will include musical examples.

“Pump Boys and Dinettes” is on stage at Sacramento Theatre Company through Feb. 16.
STC’s latest packed with catchy tunes BY BEV SYKES Enterprise theater critic Any show with a tapdancing accordion player has got to be fun. “Pump Boys and Dinettes” by John Foley, Mark Hardwick, Debra Monk, Cass Morgan, John Schimmel and Jim Wann is now on Sacramento Theatre Company’s Pollock stage. This is a 1982 Tonyaward-nominated musical written by a performing group of the same name. It became Chicago’s longestrunning theater production for many years. This concert-style musical centers around the story of four men — L.M., Jim, Eddie and Jackson — who work at a gas station and two sisters, Rhetta and Prudie Cupp, who work at a diner called the Double Cupp-all in an isolated, small-town road stop somewhere between Frog Level and Smyrna, N.C. The show was conceived when two of the writers (Wann and Hardwick) were playing music in a restaurant in New York City and wrote of their experiences in the restaurant. As Jim Wann said in a 2010 interview, “I was a scuffling songwriter/ guitarist and Mark Hardwick was a piano player/ actor ... Mark and I were unemployed and happy to take a job playing five nights a week in the Cattleman Lounge, attached to a restaurant on one of the darker blocks west of Grand Central. Our mission was to play country standards to entertain the ‘tired businessman’ who
Enjoy the fun What: “Pump Boys and Dinettes” Where: Sacramento Theatre Company’s Pollock stage, 1419 H St. in Sacramento When: 7 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays, 8 p.m. Fridays, 2 and 8 p.m. Saturdays and 2 and 7 p.m. Sundays through Feb. 16 Tickets: $25-$40, available at tickets. sactheatre.org, 916443-6722 or in person at the theater box office had come for the drinks, the steaks, and the waitresses in classic Western saloon-girl attire.” On slow nights, they would play original music, gradually adding costumes, which gave them the look of guys who worked in a gas station. This is more a standalone story tied together with music, but it spotlights each of the characters: Jim (Sam C. Jones), L.M. (Brady Wease), Jackson (Darrell Johnston), Rhetta (Rebecca Mason), Prudie (Sidney RaeyGonzales) and Eddie (Michael LaPlante). The men are postponing working on Uncle Bob’s Winnebago by singing, they say. As for the girls, they spend their time baking pies and flirting with the men. Each of the performers gets his or her turn to
shine. LaPlante, as Eddie, sings a loving song about his beloved grandmother, whose photo hangs on the wall. Johnston rocks out to “Mona,” Wease brings down the house with his Dolly Parton memory. The women stand out in their song “The Best Man” about “the one who got away.” The charismatic Jones, who is sort of the MC of the show, stands out in each of the songs in which he is featured. While this does not sound like much of a show, the 20 high-spirited country-rock tunes make this a concert rather than a real musical play, and many have the audience clapping along while the girls dance in the audience. Some highlights include “T.N.D.P.W.A.M.” (“The Night Dolly Parton Was Almost Mine”) by L.M.,
“Tips” by the girls, and a Menu Song. There is even a raffle for someone in the audience to win a new car ... air freshener. Scenic designer Andrew Fiffick has managed to create a complex set in the tiny Pollock theater, with half of the set in the garage and the other half in the restaurant. Costume designer Jessica Minnihan get stars for L.M.’s costume for the Dolly Parton number. Director/choreographer Abbey Campbell has created a look that is special, with all of the musical numbers as precise and crisp as a military parade. This show aspires to be nothing but a fun evening, to show off the talents of the cast. Add to that a collection of toe-tapping music and you have a show that will appeal to an audience.

David Wilcox heads to The Palms on Friday, Jan. 25 Special to The Enterprise Folk singer-songwriter David Wilcox’s lyrical insight is matched by a smooth baritone voice, virtuosic guitar chops and creative open tunings, giving him range and tenderness. Now, more than 20 albums into a career spanning more than three decades of touring extensively around the U.S. and world, he continues to deliver joy, inspiration and invention to his legions of fans. Wilcox will return to The Palms Playhouse, 13 Main St. in Winters, at 8 p.m. Friday, Jan. 25. Tickets are
$25 in advance, $29 at the door and $12 with student ID. Wilcox is a quintessential folk singer, telling stories full of heart, humor, hope, searching and style. His sense of adventure and authenticity is why critics and colleagues alike have praised not just his artistry, but his humanity as well. That’s not by accident. It’s the result of a man giving himself over in gratitude and service to something bigger than himself. “I’m grateful to music,� he said. “I have a life that feels deeply good, but when I started playing music, nothing in my life felt that
Globe, “Fueled by brilliantly articulate guitar, an honestly pretty baritone and deft lyrics, he combines the best of both pop and modern folk aesthetics,� while Rolling Stone opined, “David Wilcox’s ongoing musical journey is compelling and richly deserving of a listen.� Wilcox pulled no punches on his most recent release, 2018’s “The View from the Edge.� The song cycle finds him delving into mental health, family legacies, spiritual contemplations and topical concerns. The song “We Make the Way By Walking� won him the Grand Prize in the 2018 USA Songwriting Contest.

Zukerman joins Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
BY JEFF HUDSON
Enterprise staff writer
Violinist and conductor Pinchas Zukerman and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra have appeared at the Mondavi Center a number of times in recent years, and they’re coming back on Saturday, Jan. 25, for an 8 p.m. concert in Jackson Hall. The program will feature three durable landmark works from the 1800s: Felix Mendelssohn’s “Hebrides� Concert Overture (also known as “Fingal’s Cave�) which dates from 1833 and was inspired by a visit to the Scottish island of Staffa in 1829; Max Bruch’s Violin Concerto No. 1 (from 1866); and the Symphony No. 1 of Johannes Brahms, which the composer — reportedly stressed out because he worried that it would be compared with
Wilcox also won first prize in the competition’s folk category. 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 the show is not sold out.

Violinist and conductor Pinchas Zukerman and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra will return to the Mondavi Center. Beethoven’s symphonies (and found wanting) — worked on for 14 years and finally premiered in 1876. Zukerman was born in Israel in 1948, and moved to New York in the early 1960s to study violin at
the Juilliard School under Isaac Stern and Ivan Galamian. Zukerman has enjoyed a long career, including appearances as a soloist with many orchestras around the world, and he was the music director of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra during much of the 1980s. He has received two Grammy Awards and 21 Grammy nominations, and he has served as principal guest conductor with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra since 2009. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra was formed in 1946 in London by conductor Thomas Beecham and has toured and recorded on a regular basis since. Tickets are $55-$150 general, available at www. MondaviArts.org or by calling 530-754-2787.
Special to The Enterprise The Lonesome Ace Stringband is an oldtime band with bluegrass chops that plays some righteous folk and country music. They show a depth of groove not often heard in bluegrass today, a level of instrumental interplay and vocal blend uncommon in old-time music and an engaging on-stage rapport. The trio will play at The Palms Playhouse, 13 Main St. in Winters, for the first time at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 23. Tickets are $22 in advance, $26 at the door and $12 with student ID. Three Canadians lost in the weird and wonderful traditional country music of the American South, band members Chris Coole (banjo), John Showman (fiddle) and Max Heineman (bass) are all veterans of some of Canada’s top roots music acts, including New Country Rehab, The David Francey Band, The Foggy Hogtown Boys and Fiver. Brad Kolodner of taste-maker Washington, D.C. radio station WAMU said, “Three of the most accomplished old-time musicians on the planet, the Lonesome Ace Stringband does a masterful job melding their talents.� According to Bluegrass Unlimited, “These are three powerful musicians playing and singing some powerful music,� and The Banjo Newsletter opined that Lonesome Ace Stringband is “a great old-time band.� Instrumentation sets the band’s sound apart. With just fiddle, clawhammer banjo and upright bass, the band moves freely
between having a sound so powerful that it doesn’t seem like it should be coming from a trio, to a lightness and delicacy that draws the listener in. All three men are compelling lead singers, each with his own character and range. This allows for the vocal texture to shift depending on a song’s feel and what it has to say and to blend into powerful harmonies. The band has toured internationally, been engaged at some of the largest festivals in North America and Europe (including Merlefest, Rockygrass, Wintergrass, Winnipeg Folk Festival, Vancouver Folk Festival, Gooikorts and John Hartford Memorial), and recorded four albums. The latest album, “Modern Old-Time Sounds for the Bluegrass and Folksong Jamboree� (2019), showcases the band’s musical range, interpretive skills and instrumental and vocal chops. Banjoist Coole previously played at The Palms as part of the 2018 edition of Bill Evans’ California Banjo Extravaganza. 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 the show is not sold out.

B8 THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE
FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 2020
KNOT: Late goal lifts Blue Devils From Page B10
contributions from senior Grace Carlson, juniors Megan Looney and Lyah Fitzpatrick, and freshmen Mia Williams and Una Keller “They did a really nice job just winning balls and making the right decisions on when to play the ball long,” Stone said. “It was a close game with two talented teams. We’re still undefeated, so I told the girls not to hang their heads and now we get to play them at home.” Davis returns to the pitch on Wednesday for a match at Cosumnes Oaks before rounding out the first half of the Delta League season with a game against Elk Grove on Friday, Jan. 24.
“You would think that you would dominate in games against weaker teams, but that’s not always the case,” Stone added. “For this game, we had to step up against a better team, and my players, who were younger, really did their jobs well.” Toward the end of the game, Davis had a chance to take all three points, but senior Lily Byrne scuffed her effort just wide. Coming into the match, St. Francis led the Delta League in goals per game, but DHS was able to hold the Troubadours to just a few clear chances thanks to strong backline

ROUGH: 4th loss in a row From Page B9
all for naught as a poor second half of shooting saw the locals close the contest out with an ugly 15 percent clip (6 for 40) from beyond the arc. “Our ball movement was right,” Gonzalez went on, talking about his team’s fourth consecutive defeat after starting the season 11-0. “It was really just the shooting.” Taylor, who’d netted 17 and 22 points in Davis’ previous two ballgames was held to just 6 on the night and Keaton Massey — Davis’ biggest threat from deep as of late — missed the majority of the second half after fouling out midway through the third period. After just a day off, DHS will be back on the hardwood to take on Franklin (127, 2-1) on Friday in Elk Grove. The Wildcats upset MaxPreps No. 3 team in the Section, Jesuit, 70-59, Wednesday. Taylor says the Devils will have their eye on Wildcat Davion Wright in that one. The 6-2 now-sophomore guard chalked up 15.5 points and secured 4.3 rebounds a game last season.
“I liked our energy, and I liked our effort.” Dan Gonzalez Blue Devil boys head coach “Davion scored nine or 10 threes on us last time,” Taylor remembered. “And we’ve beat them at home, but never been able to beat them at Franklin. So to go into their place — one of the loudest gyms in the Delta League — it’s going to be a battle.” Notes: Joey Asta added 12 points for DHS, while CJ Fabionar and Shiya Solodoff each scored 4 and Isaiah Conlan, Bryce Barker and Massey tallied 3 each. DHS shot 7 for 12 (58 percent) from the free-throw line, while the Huskies converted on 23 of their 36 tries (63 percent). ... In junior varsity action Wednesday, the Devils fell, 86-54. The Davis freshman squad also dropped its encounter with the Huskies, 63-59. — Reach Owen Yancher at oyancher@ davisenterprise.net. Follow him via Twitter at @530athletics.

UCD ROUNDUP
More All-American honors for Preece Special to The Enterprise Tight end Wes Preece represented UC Davis on Phil Steele’s 2019 FCS AllAmerica squads, earning a spot in the third team, as announced by that media outlet Wednesday. The honor continues a list of postseason accolades for the managerial economics major from Rocklin. Preece made second-team all-Big Sky PREECE Conference and secondMulti-award team Phil Steele’s all-Big winner Sky Conference, plus was impressive off the field with CoSIDA Academic All-America and FCS ADA Academic All-Star nods since the conclusion of the 2019 season. Preece collected 36 receptions for 434 yards and six touchdowns last fall. He finished with career totals of 109 catches, 1,398 yards and 24 touchdowns. Preece became the third tight end in school history to crack the century mark in career receptions, while that TD total stands as the Davis record for the position.
UCD-bound duo named UC Davis women’s basketball recruits Mazatlan Harris and Bria Shine are headed to the 2020 McDonald’s AllAmerican Games, it was announced by event organizers. The pair join 29 other California players on the list of prep standouts from across the country who are expected to be at Toyota Center in Houston on April 1. It will be the 19th annual girls game, which was first held at Madison Square Garden in New York in 2002. Shine, a 6-foot-1 guard from Christian Brothers High (Sacramento), and Harris, the 6-foot-2 forward from Cathedral Catholic High in San Diego make up
two-thirds of the Aggies’ 2019 early signing class announced back in November. The other future UC Davis studentathlete coming to campus is Allie Carreron, a 5-foot-10 guard from San Diego Christian. Harris is currently averaging 11.9 points and 10.0 rebounds per game through the first 14 games of her senior season, shooting 48 percent from the floor and adding 31 blocked shots for the Dons. Shine, meanwhile, is averaging 12.0 ppg and 7.6 rpg, along with 2.3 assists and 3.4 steals per game for the Falcons in 12 games thus far this season.
Schedule announced It’s a tough schedule. The UC Davis women’s beach volleyball program will face eight teams that finished either ranked or receiving votes in the final American Volleyball Coaches Association top 20 poll, as announced by Aggie coach Ali McColloch. Big West rival Hawaii headlines that list after posting a 24-7 overall record and finishing No. 5 in the nation. League foe Cal Poly was the No. 8 team after a 21-10 season, earning the No. 6 seed in the postseason, followed by Loyola Marymount (27-11 overall) at No. 11, Long Beach State (18-9) at No. 12, Arizona (24-4) ranked No. 13, Saint Mary’s (20-9) at No. 19 and Stanford (10-16) finishing at No. 20. Boise State was one of nine schools among those receiving votes. Coming off its inaugural campaign in which they finished 8-10 overall and earned the No. 5 seed at the inaugural Big West Conference tourney, the Aggies officially open their second season of competition on Feb. 29, traveling to California and Utah in back-to-back contests. UC Davis then opens a March run of four straight home contests — the only regular season appearances at the UC Davis Beach Volleyball Courts in 2020.
JESUIT: DHS boys on playoff bubble From Page B10 English was there to complete the scoring in emphatic fashion. Conversely, the Devils didn’t put their first shot on target until the 47th minute, with attacking midfielder Zach Anderson hitting a dipping effort from 18-yards out that forced a save by the Marauders goalie. The result dropped Davis to 6-3-1 on the season, but just 1-2-1 in the Delta League where it currently sits in the fifth-and-final playoff spot, just three points ahead of sixth-place Sheldon, where Davis plays Friday, Jan. 17, at 3:30 p.m. “The good news is that I feel like, if we play better, we can compete with each team that we’ve seen so far,” Park said.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 2020 B9
In an eerily similar fashion to last year’s second-round playoff encounter with this same highflying Sheldon, the Davis High boys basketball team hung tight early on with the No. 3 team in California Wednesday night. But it was a tale of two very different halves as the Huskies dunked their way ahead, littleby-little, to spoil the evening for the Blue Crew, 72-59, before a DHS home crowd of nearly 900. Ahead by double digits at one point during the second period, Davis benefitted from back-toback 3-pointers courtesy of Joey Voss (12 points). But the Huskies bit back shortly thereafter, reclaiming their lead to enter
intermission up 29-26. They never trailed again. “It’s always frustrating to lose,” Devil guard Cody Taylor said after. “But we saw another side of us that we didn’t see in our first two league games. “We know we can hang with the best of them.” With Davis’ third straight loss in conference play, the Blue Devils slipped to 11-4 overall, while the Huskies improved to 12-2. In response to Davis fans’ boos and chants of “over-rated” at him throughout the night, Sheldon’s Marcus Bagley threw down a handful of showtime slams en route to his 9 points. It was the 6-foot-8 big man’s first game back after nursing an ankle injury that kept him sidelined last week as the Huskies began their Delta League play. Bagley, who averaged 20 points per game last season, missed his team’s entire 2019 Sac-Joaquin Section playoff run, including the bout with the Blue Devils, while on a trip to Cactus Nation
Ella Helge
DHS girls in Florida showcase event Enterprise staff writer Three Davis High sophomores are off to the Sunshine State to test their mettle in the National Field Hockey Coaches Association-sponsored Winter Escape Collegiate Showcase at Boombah Sports Complex in Sanford, Fla. The three-day event begins Friday. Fresh off a season in which their DHS varsity unit recorded its 45th straight program win, a streak spanning multiple seasons, Lady Devils Lili Wierzbicki, Ella Helge and Julie Thomas are ready to get right back to it. “The sophomores had a real impact on the field for the 2019 season,” Devil head coach Beth Hogan says. “Netminder Lili stepped up to help create a strong defensive front against the opposition, and both Ella and Julie’s speed, technical and tactical skills helped create scoring opportunities on the field. “ Thrust into starting roles in each of their first seasons after being called up from junior varsity, all three were key contributors. Thomas’ talent with the Julie stick kept the ball away Thomas from Devil opponents,
who never scored more than two goals in a match. Wierzbicki was locked in between the pipes. And receiving an all-Eastern Athletic League nod, Helge scored or assisted in three of the Devils’ final six matches of the season. Across Davis’ 19 consecutive victories, Wierzbicki recorded 11 shutouts, allowing just a single goal in six of the crew’s last eight matches. Perhaps her biggest plays of the year came during the locals’ 2-1 overtime shootout win against rival Pleasant Grove, in which she made a handful of one-on-one stops to extinguish the Vikings’ late fire. As recently as two years ago, as many as five former Blue Devils suited up for next-level programs, some of whom include: Kailey Smith (Syracuse), Andi Jackson (Indiana), Cara Satre (Central Michigan), Anna Riesenberg (Central Michigan), Siena Dwyer (UC Davis), Chloe Deamer (Seton Hill), Malia Fujisawa (Indiana), Emily Barber (Central Michigan), Danielle Mentink (Cal) and Emily Mentink (Lock Haven). Coaches from more than 50 colleges regularly attend the Winter Lili Escape Wierzbicki Showcase.

(DHS lost that clash, 79-57). The younger brother of the Sacramento Kings former No. 2 overall pick committed to play college ball at Arizona State just over a month later. But on this night it was Sheldon’s Josh Williams who had the hot hand, tossing in a teamhigh 18 points. Dontrell Hewlett added 10 for the Huskies, while Ryan Hakl topped Davis’ stats with 14 and a pair of blocks. “I liked our energy, and I liked our effort,” Devil head coach Dan Gonzalez added. “We knew who we were playing so guys got amped up, but we’ve got to bring it every night. We can’t just do it because we’re playing a (Sheldon).” On the defensive end, Davis continued to force a silly amount of turnovers, but it was

Echoes from a lost civilization

very so often these days I lose myself in days gone by. The memories remain vivid thanks to my career in newspapers. As a journalist, one of your charges is to follow what’s happening around you. And I’m finding it keeps one sharp. However, last night, in thinking back through the years, I realized I’m fast becoming living history. My son and daughter have been pointing this out to me for the last 20 years. But I’ve come to understand that the joke might be on them. And if you remember any of the following, you and I should sit down and have coffee someday. My kids will have none of it. Ready? Try this sampling on for size: ■ San Francisco’s Juan Marichal pitching at Dodger Stadium before 55,000 fans. Then he throws 14 times to first base, trying to keep Maury Wills anchored — only to have Maury steal second on Marichal’s first offering to the plate. ■ To be one of the 90,000 in attendance at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum for a UCLA/USC game featuring eventual Heisman Trophywinners Gary Beban and You Know Who (can I even say O.J. Simpson in this day and age?). ■ Ever wriggled down under the covers in fifth grade with a crystal radio set listening to Vin Scully call Dodger games during the first year the major leagues came to the West Coast?
A
s a baseball fan, I felt like Neil Armstrong landing on the moon — and meeting E.T. once I jumped off that ladder. What more could a 10 year old ask for? ■ In an era in which you couldn’t purchase jerseys of your favorite players (and sometimes even your favorite teams), I asked my mom to take off the No. 14 on my Little League jersey and re-sew it back on as No. 41. Then I wore that heavy flannel shirt everywhere during the smog-filled summers of Los Angeles. I guarantee no one else had a Braves (my Little League team) jersey honoring his favorite player like mine. (Belated apologies to my coach Bud Shussler for saying I lost my jersey so I could keep it year-round. I still owe my dad $3 because he had to pay for it.) What? You say your Cam Newton jersey cost $200. Ha! ■ Ever take for granted a weekend sporting event on television? In the mid-1950s, it was Friday Night Fights from Madison Square Garden, Saturday’s baseball game of the week and Saturday afternoon’s “Live from Hollywood Park.” Sunday? If I wasn’t in church, I’d settle for Leonard Bernstein’s “Young People’s Concerts.” When the Dodgers and Giants got here, the world started to change. Eleven games a year from San Francisco were televised by KTTV. ■ Oh, and there was no cable ... (thought I just heard gasps). And there was no TV remote control (what was that “thud?”). ■ I went to the 1959 World Series (Dodgers/White Sox) by saving $14 from cutting lawns and purchasing two tickets on the third-base side, 15 rows up from the field. ■ Wiffle Ball, Strat-O-Matic baseball, Hula Hoops, Pluto Platters, aggravating Mrs. Rounds next door when I overthrow Bill and the football landed in her flower bed. All things that kept me and my friends busy. The closest I came to video games was “Winky Dink and You.” Alright, I’m done there. But if anyone had the Winky Dink kit, or remembers what famous emcee hosted the show, give me a shout. Coffee’s on me. We have a lot to talk about. — Reach Bruce Gallaudet at bgallaudet41@gmail.com or 530747-8049.
LONG BEACH — Aggie freshmen Ezra Manjon and Elijah Pepper scored 19 points each as the UC Davis men’s basketball team held off a late charge by Long Beach State to escape the Walter Pyramid with an 85-82 Big West victory Thursday. With slightly more than 1 minute remaining in the contest, the 5-foot-11 Manjon drove
the lane and scored around 6-11 Beach center Joshua Morgan (Sheldon High) to give the Aggies a 76-66 lead. Long Beach was put in the unenviable position of being forced to foul UCD (7-11 overall, 1-1 BWC), the conference leader in free-throw percentage. The Aggies made their hosts pay as they hit 27 of 36 from the charity stripe. The tide changed for Beach (6-2, 1-1) as it implemented a

Pepper was fouled and sank one of his two free throws for the final margin. UCD senior Joe Mooney finished with 14 points, and classmate Stefan Gonzalez had 13. Senior center Matt Neufeld and Pepper had five rebounds. Beach sophomore Chance Hunter had a game-high 28 points, while teammates Colin Slater and Jordan Roberts had 11 each, and Morgan chipped in 10.
Aggie women edge Beach BY BRUCE GALLAUDET Enterprise sports editor You won’t find this game strategy on any UC Davis women’s basketball chalk boards. Leading by 9 points with less than 5 minutes remaining, the Aggies stumbled their way to 29 turnovers, fell behind by a point then held way as visiting Long Beach State failed to get a shot off during the final 9 seconds and went home a 57-55 loser. You read that right ... Twentynine turnovers. “It was a bit uncharacteristic of us,” explained UCD head coach Jennifer Gross afterward. “That’s something we’ve done really well all season, protecting the ball. But they sped us up … and to their credit, that’s what they do. “But to turn the ball over like we did and still find a way to win says as lot about our group and our defense.” Davis — winners of three straight Big West titles — improved to 2-1 conference and 7-9 overall. The Beach — as it is now known — fell to 6-10 and 1-2. Sage Stobbart, the 6-foot-3 post from North Vancouver, B.C., stoked the Aggie fire early when she scored 6 of her team’s first 9 points. On the night, the redshirt sophomore would score 10 and collect 10 caroms.

Aggie guard Evanne Turner (15) makes a move on Long Beach State’s Cydnee Kinslow, while Woodland-native and Beach guard Shanaijah Davison (21) looks on in Thursday’s 57-55 Big West Conference win for UCD. Leading, 17-11, after one quarter, on three separate occasions UCD would go up by 11. But those darn turnovers kept this one from being a blowout. With Justina King and former Pioneer High standout Shanaijah Davison pressing the issue, the Beach erased a Davis 47-38 lead at 4:43 of the final stanza
to actually go ahead, 48-47, when Cyndee Kinslow scored her only basket of the evening. However, immediately thereafter, Aggie Cierra Hall made up for an eight-turnover night by drilling a 3-pointer. Davis never trailed again, but it was sketchy to the end. It wasn’t until King missed a shot in the
paint and the ball found safe harbor with Stobbart at the buzzer that Aggie Nation breathed again.

The stands may have been relatively full with fans from both Davis and Jesuit high on Wednesday afternoon at Playfields Park. Tempers on both sides may have flared at times during a game that felt like it featured a referee whistle every 30 seconds. And the Blue Devils and Marauders may have each given it their all, wanting to come out on top of what was once one of the can’t-miss sporting events in the area. But it was the Marauders who came out on top as they put on a clinic in a 3-0 victory that kept them atop the Delta League with a 4-0 record. “I don’t understand how we play so poorly sometimes,” said head coach Alex Park. “Part of it is that we’re having a hard time transitioning from grass to turf. We’re struggling big time. “Our players are having a hard time adapting, we’re struggling with our chemistry,” he added. “There are moments when you can see glimpses of it, but we haven’t found it yet.” DHS struggled outside of the gate to contain big Jesuit center forward Elijah Beverley, who
Both teams then started fouling each other at high rates in dangerous plays, resulting in a plethora of set pieces in the attacking third. With 5 minutes left in the first half, Blue Devil Walsh Klineberg he took down a player in the box. Not willing to wave off a spot kick for the second time, the center referee blew his whistle and Jesuit’s Chris Myers stepped up to bury the ball in the back of the net. The Marauders weren’t done, though. Three minutes after the break, Myers sent a corner kick to the back post, where unmarked center-back Lucas
Playing at a venue that has historically challenged the Davis High girls soccer team, the Blue Devils faced their biggest rival St. Francis in Sacramento on Wednesday and lived to tell the story. Despite going down a goal just one minute into the second half, a late free kick from junior Summer Baron gave DHS a 1-1 draw and kept the team undefeated on the season. Davis’ record is 5-0-3 overall and a table-topping 4-0-1 in the Delta League — the Troubadours have played one fewer game and are just behind the Devils in the standings at 3-0-1. “It was the best game we’ve played so far,” said head coach Sara Stone. “We were faced with a challenge with the small field space, so I was worried that we were going to be panicked under pressure, but we weren’t. The quality of soccer was good, and my team was happy with their play and having fun so that was good to say.

DHS lost the match, 3-0. created havoc on the Davis backline by using his combination of size and speed to hold up play or get in behind the host’s defense. Just 15 minutes into the game, Beverley turned in the box and was clipped, though fortunately for the Devils, the referee elected to wave off a penalty shot. However, Beverley would have the last laugh. Five minutes later, he took a touch 45 yards out and had a clean run in on goal. DHS goalkeeper Cariappa Kordia saved the initial attempt, but Beverley was there to awkwardly scuff the rebound into the back of the net.
