Council approves wireless ordinance

Suspect in NorCal Rapist case will stand trial

BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer With comments reminiscent of last year’s discussion on switching to district elections, Davis City Council members voted unanimously Tuesday not to stand in the way of 5G high-speed internet deployment in Davis. City attorney Inder Khalsa had informed the council that trying to block installations of small cell facilities in Davis would open the city up to litigation that would be both costly and likely unsuccessful given current federal law. Council members had received similar advice last summer when they were threatened with a lawsuit if the city did not switch from at-large to by-district elections. In unanimously agreeing to make the change, all of the council members cited the legal consequences of failing to do so. Likewise Tuesday evening, several council members — after listening to nearly two-dozen residents plead with them not to

But local officials overseeing schools most affected by disasters say they don’t have the finances to make up the days — and sometimes weeks — of lost instruction. In a phone interview, Dodd said his bill would help alleviate the negative academic impact on students who miss school because of fires, disasters and power shutoffs. “This is something that I think does impact students adversely and we have to provide some sort of framework,” Dodd said. Though he does not yet have a cost estimate, he said the state needs to step up support for schools and students whose education, in some cases, is now being annually disrupted “through no fault of their own.” During the fall of the current 2019-20 school year, more than 360 schools closed for five school days or longer, with some students in Sonoma County losing as many as 15 instructional days – equivalent to three weeks of class time – due to mandatory wildfire evacuations and power shutoffs.

SACRAMENTO — Roy Charles Waller will stand trial for the NorCal Rapist crimes that included two attacks in Davis, a Sacramento Superior Court judge ruled Wednesday. Waller, 60, stands accused of 46 charges that accuse him of sexually assaulting and kidnapping young WALLER women in six coun- Accused serial rapist ties over a span of 15 years. He’s alleged to have assaulted three of his victims in Davis — two in 1997 and one in 2000. Judge Trena BurgerPlavan issued her ruling following a multi-day preliminary hearing held over December and January in Sacramento, where crimes that occurred in Butte, Contra Costa, Sacramento, Solano, Sonoma and Yolo counties have been consolidated into one case. The NorCal Rapist’s last known attack occurred in the Natomas area in 2006. Waller, a longtime safety specialist at UC Berkeley, was arrested in September 2018 after allegedly being linked by DNA evidence to multiple crime scenes. They included the July 16, 2000, attack of a

Relief for fire-affected schools Bill would ease financial impact BY RICARDO CANO CalMatters As climate-fueled natural disasters and power shutoffs have eroded the school year in an unprecedented swath of California, a lawmaker in wildfire country is proposing making up the lost instructional time for the most severely impacted students by funding “disaster relief ” summer schools. Formally dubbed the “Disaster Relief Instructional Recovery Program,” Senate Bill 884 by state Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, would give schools the funding to make up instructional days lost to fires, natural disasters and attendant blackouts. School districts would not be required to participate in the program, and neither students or teachers would be required to participate in disaster relief summer school if their school district opts

into the program. District and charter schools would be eligible to participate if they lost five or more instructional days to disasters in one school year or, cumulatively, “at least 10 instructional days in two out of three consecutive school years,” according to the bill’s text. The legislation, introduced Thursday, follows reporting and data published last year by CalMatters that detailed the heavy toll that climate-driven fires — and the power shutoffs aimed at preventing them — have taken on students, teachers and public schools. This school year alone, fires and utility power shutoffs forced emergency closures in more than 1,500 public schools across 34 counties that affected more than 800,000 kids, according to schoolclosure data gathered by CalMatters. Though it isn’t required by state law, school districts can voluntarily budget emergency days into their academic calendars — a strategy the state Department of Education advised in the wake of this year’s widespread disruptions.

Top-two primary tactics get ... creative Operatives use proxies to disrupt opponents BY BEN CHRISTOPHER CalMatters Kathy Garcia is not your typical Republican candidate for the California Senate. For one, she only just joined the GOP. A lifelong Democrat, she won election to the Stockton school board with the backing of the county Democratic party. She changed her affiliation to Republican in June 2019, six months before the deadline to enter the Senate race. She said the idea to run — under the banner of a party she’d opposed most of her adult life — was suggested to her by a Stockton

lawyer and powerbroker who, records show, has helped fund the campaign of another candidate in the race. And that candidate, a moderate Democrat, incidentally stands a better chance if the Republican vote is divided. The 80-year-old Garcia, asked by CalMatters why she’s running under the GOP label, gave a series of distinctly un-Republican explanations. “I just decided I was going to try something new. And not because I like Trump,” she said, before making a retching noise. As for the Republicans that are running, she said, “I want to just put them under the bus.” Garcia might get her wish. That’s thanks to California’s unique “top two” election system, in which all candidates — regardless

of party affiliation — are listed together on the same ballot in the first round “primary.” Only the first and second place winners March 3 move on to the general election Nov. 3, also regardless of party affiliation. The race for state Senate in this Central Valley district race is the latest oddball illustration of how the state’s decade-old electoral attempt at reform can distort the typical logic of campaigning, confuse voters and lead to mindbending results. Under the top-two system, Garcia’s unlikely candidacy as a Republican is — paradoxically — most likely to benefit moderate Democrat and Modesto Councilman Mani Grewal. By running as a Republican along with another long-shot GOP candidate, Jim Ridenour, Garcia could split the

local GOP vote three ways. If so, that could very well leave the two Democratic contenders — Grewal and Assemblywoman Susan Eggman — with the top two winning spots. And it would leave the most viable Republican candidate running, Stockton Councilman Jesús Andrade, who has been endorsed by the state party, flattened under that proverbial bus. Asked if her motivation was to undermine Andrade, Garcia demurred: “I can’t come out and say that.” Both she and Grewal say they aren’t working together. The Andrade campaign isn’t buying it. “It’s shameful that Democrat Mani Grewal would plant a Bernie

Briefly DUI blamed in four-car crash The California Highway Patrol reported Wednesday the arrest of a Williams man whose intoxication allegedly caused a four-car collision Sunday night near Dunnigan. According to reports, 27-year-old Brandon Hall of Williams was at the wheel of a Dodge that clipped a Toyota while trying to pass it on northbound Interstate 5 near County Road 4. The impact caused both vehicles to lose control and spin into the southbound lanes, where they struck two more cars head-on. Hall sustained major injuries in the 7:15 p.m. crash and was transported to Mercy San Juan Hospital, where he was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving, the CHP reported. The other motorists sustained minor to moderate injuries.

Davis can do more for its teachers J ust around the corner we will all get to vote on whether to tax ourselves $198 a year per parcel in order to provide raises for school district employees. Because this thing needs twothirds approval to pass, the district has decided to exempt both school district employees and anyone over the age of 65 from having to pay this tax, if it passes at all. Obviously, they need all the votes they can get. In the past I’ve stated my opposition to exempting whole classes of people based solely and strictly on age or occupation. In my mind, exemptions are fine and necessary in a fair and just society, but all exemptions should be based on need and nothing else. Some seniors certainly need the exemption, as do some school district employees. But struggling young families who have trouble paying the mortgage might need exemptions, too. Given the sharp downturn in the newspaper industry in the last decade, a strong argument can be made that journalists should be exempt from the parcel tax as well. Put simply, we’re all in this

From Page A1 Sanders supporting, fake Republican like Kathy Garcia in this Senate race to split the Republican vote,” said Andrade’s consultant Steve Presson. “Republican Jim Ridenour is also a Grewal plant whose candidacy is solely to help Grewal make the toptwo general election run-off. These Nixonian dirty tricks are just deplorable. Central Valley voters deserve better.” Grewal called that a “ridiculous accusation.” The top-two system was intended to strip political parties of their influence over the candidate selection process, making California elections less prone to backroom dealing and polarization. The jury is still out as to whether the system actually has pushed state politics towards the ideological center, as promised. But 10 years into California’s experiment with electoral reform, an unintended side effect has emerged. Political insiders have figured out how to game the top two — or, at the very least, how to accuse other campaigns of doing so to muddy the political waters. But the mere fact that any of this is in doubt is an artifact of the state’s peculiar election system, said Paul Mitchell, vice president of Political

The last “Whereas” is also important, stating, “Whereas, supplementing Measure H with a new, permanent, qualified special tax (‘Parcel Tax’) is now needed to provide a sufficient, stable local funding source that cannot be taken by the State in order to maintain outstanding programs and retain highly qualified, experienced teachers and staff that our children deserve.” Yes, the tax will be permanent to ensure ongoing support, but “permanent” can always be reversed if folks don’t like the way things are going. I realize some people on the margins may find this tax difficult to manage and they will vote accordingly. That’s what elections are all about. But for me, as one who has benefitted immensely from our public schools since the day my mom enrolled me in kindergarten at Central Davis School, the choice is overwhelmingly simple. Hopefully, two-thirds of my fellow citizens will feel as I do. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenterprise.net

Data Inc. and frequent critic of the top two. “Nobody would have questioned (Garcia’s candidacy) under the old system,” he said. The top two, he said, “encourages not only this manipulative strategy, but it also makes the public question a manipulative strategy where maybe there isn’t one.” Grewal said allegations of coordination between his campaign and any other candidate in the race are “conspiracy theories” and “a cry for some free media” by the Andrade campaign. “The first time I met Kathy Garcia was at the Modesto Bee forum” on Jan. 14, he said. “I know Jim Ridenour and the last time he endorsed me in my campaign. I would have liked his endorsement this time.” In a follow-up conversation, Garcia, who supported New Jersey Democratic Sen. Cory Booker for president, insisted that her choice to run was not motivated by her antipathy towards the Republicans, despite her earlier comments. “Look at the people running as a Democrat,” she said. “Everybody is either an incumbent or has a big following or something. So here I am.” She added that the idea to change parties first came from Stockton lawyer and political operative N. Allen Sawyer, whom she described as “kind

of my campaign manager.” In an email, Sawyer explained that he encouraged Garcia to run as a Republican because the “San Joaquin County Democratic Party is rigged and controlled by insiders … I think as a moderate she has a better chance of being treated fairly as a Republican.” Running political advertising to back a weaker candidate is yet another convoluted strategy enabled by the top-two system. Last year, supporters of Attorney General Xavier Becerra and Gov. Gavin Newsom ran advertisements that subtly (or maybe not so subtly) boosted the conservative bonafides of their Republican opponents. In a traditional partisan primary system, a Democrat in California would be forced to face-off against a Republican no matter what. But in California, where a Republican hasn’t won statewide since 2006, ensuring a GOP candidate gets into the top two rather than a fellow party member is a winning strategy for any Democratic candidate. Newsom said as much when asked which candidate he’d like to run against during a pre-primary debate last May: “A Republican would be ideal.” — CalMatters.org is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.

thing together. Those who can pay the tax should pay the tax. And those who can’t pay the tax should be exempt. Be that as it may, the $198 parcel tax, known as Measure G, seems a small price to pay to make our district salaries competitive in this area. It’s embarrassing in a town like Davis, where everyone raves about the schools, that other districts pay teachers more than we do. The double-whammy here is that the cost of living in Davis is substantially higher than it is in those other districts. According to the official “Ballot Measure Summary” from the Yolo County Elections Office, the longwinded question is, “To attract and retain quality teachers and

staff by keeping compensation competitive in order to (a) preserve outstanding instruction in math, science, reading, writing, history, social studies and technology; (b) support arts, music; (c) limit class sizes; and (d) support student health and safety; shall a Davis Joint Unified School District ongoing parcel tax of $198/ year, adjusted annually for inflation, be adopted, raising approximately $3,000,000/year, with senior, disability, employee exemptions and citizens oversight; for Davis schools only?”

Woodland police seek at-large parolee BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer Woodland police blocked off a residential street Wednesday in search of a parolee at large, who as it turned out was not in the area in the first place. In a Facebook post, the Woodland Police Department said it had received information that 25-year-old Joseph Gonzalez was inside a vehicle parked in the 100 block of Muir Street. Officers blocked off the street and brought in a robot to determine whether it was Gonzalez who occupied the car. “Ultimately it was discovered that the information given to us was inaccurate and Gonzalez was not located,” said the post, which also thanked the West Sacramento Police Department, Yolo County Bomb Squad, Yolo County Sheriff ’s Office and the Woodland Fire Department for assisting during the incident. Anyone with information about the whereabouts of Gonzalez — or any other wanted subjects, who are featured weekly in the Police Department’s “Warrant Wednesday” postings on Facebook — is urged to call police at 530-6662411 or leave a message on the agency’s Facebook page.

WIRELESS: Council wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t risk lawsuit RELIEF: Schools in fire From Page A1 allow 5G deployment in Davis â&#x20AC;&#x201D; cited the consequences of not complying with Federal Communications Commission regulations. For more than a year, the council has been hearing from opponents of 5G who fear the health impact of radio frequency emissions. Many of those arguments were repeated again Tuesday night. But Khalsa and assistant city manager Ash Feeney reiterated what they told the council previously and in the staff report prepared for Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting: the FCC has placed substantial new limitations on citiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ability to regulate small wireless facilities and prohibits the city from regulating any wireless facilities based on radio frequency emissions or health impacts. The ordinance before them, however, would â&#x20AC;&#x153;ensure to the greatest extent possible that wireless facilities are located, designed, installed, constructed, maintained and operated in a manner that meets the aesthetic and public health and safety requirements of the city,â&#x20AC;? according to the staff report. But many of those who spoke during public comment disagreed with that assessment, contending Khalsa is wrong about the law and urging the council to seek additional legal advice. Others simply urged the council to stand up to the FCC in order to protect community health. And council members expressed frustration over the loss of local control. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I share a lot of the frustration that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sensing in the room tonight,â&#x20AC;? said Councilman Will Arnold. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As an elected policy maker and lifelong resident of our community, the fact that our power to regulate something so important to folks has been taken away â&#x20AC;Ś I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like being told what factors I can and cannot â&#x20AC;Ś consider when making decisions for my community. That bothers me,â&#x20AC;? said Arnold, who added that he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;reminded of the issues we dealt with over the summer and fall with regard to district elections. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were told, and the law was such, that we had very limited options within which to operate or the taxpayers would be faced with a

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am fairly comfortable with the evidence that is out there right now around 5G.â&#x20AC;? Gloria Partida Davis mayor pro tem large legal bill. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where I believe we are today as well.â&#x20AC;? Similarly, Councilman Lucas Frerichs said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that this is not something that everybody agrees with but â&#x20AC;Ś our hands are somewhat tied with this. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a lot, once the federal government or agencies have made decisions that affect local governments â&#x20AC;Ś thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a huge amount that we are able to do,â&#x20AC;? said Frerichs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So right now, I think, without this updated ordinance, it seems we put ourselves at even more risk.â&#x20AC;? He also noted the public comment from a Verizon representative who said the ordinance goes too far in regulating small cell facilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On one end we have a select group of citizens that feels the proposed ordinance doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go far enough and on the other end we have a telecommunications industry telling us it goes way too far,â&#x20AC;? said Frerichs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I feel like given that we are fairly limited in what we can do as a local government, we are taking a reasoned approach â&#x20AC;Ś Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a great position to be in but I do think we should be proceeding with some type of ordinance.â&#x20AC;? One of the key components of that ordinance are the setbacks the city will seek â&#x20AC;&#x201D; namely that small cell antennas be placed as far from residences as possible. The preference would be that they only be placed in non-residential zones and if thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not possible, they be placed at least 250 feet from a residence or school, and if thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not possible, then as far away as possible. But setbacks that effectively prohibit the wireless service would not comply with FCC regulations, the council was told. So when small cells must be allowed within 250 feet of a

residence, council members requested that those living within 250 feet receive notice from the city â&#x20AC;&#x201D; though with the caveat that the city cannot do anything about it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in favor of the noticing option provided that it is really clear for people, that they completely understand â&#x20AC;Ś that they have no recourse. That this is purely a notice,â&#x20AC;? said Mayor Pro Tem Gloria Partida. In her comments prior to the vote, Partida also acknowledged the concerns about health risks expressed during public comment but said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I was really concerned, and I really felt that this was an issue, then I would maybe advocate more for, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s take the risk and go ahead and incur the lawsuit.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I have to say I am fairly comfortable with the evidence that is out there right now around 5G,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have read â&#x20AC;Ś the scientific articles that people have sent in. I spent 30 years of my life reviewing scientific journal articles â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I did before I was here â&#x20AC;Ś and I know that the most important part of that reading was deciphering when studies have been done well and if there was enough confirmed evidence to make a definitive conclusion and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say that I have a lot of confidence in the completeness of the studies that have been done so far. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not an expert in this field so I leave that to the experts who are,â&#x20AC;? Partida added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And right now the World Health Organization, the International Commission on NonIonizing Radiation Protection and the American Cancer Society â&#x20AC;Ś organizations that I trust â&#x20AC;Ś also feel this way.â&#x20AC;? That said, Partida joined her colleagues in voting for a separate motion â&#x20AC;&#x201D; proposed by Mayor Brett Lee â&#x20AC;&#x201D; asking city staff to report back on both legal and legislative avenues for examining the authority of local government to regulate technology based on health impacts. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Reach Anne Ternus-Bellamy at aternus@davisenterprise.net.

CalMatters identified at least 480 California public schools that have lost 10 or more instructional days for fire-related issues since the 2017-18 term, and thus would be eligible for disaster relief summer school under the billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provisions. In California, school districts can apply for attendance waivers through the state Department of Education that protect them from financial penalty for having to shut down schools in the wake of disasters. However, while these waivers excuse schools for not meeting the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 180day instructional requirement, the state does not require districts to make up

COMMISSION: Three members resign, one suspended From Page A1 members and one alternate, now has four members, one of whom is suspended, and no alternate. That outcome was one that Mayor Brett Lee appeared to be trying to avoid Tuesday evening when he warned his colleagues of just that possibility if the council did not act on the commission’s request to remove Commissioner Todd Edelman. At that point, two commissioners — Eric Gudz and Frances Andrews — had served at their final commission meeting earlier this month and Lee said two other commission members had communicated to council members that they would resign if Edelman remained. Commissioner Mike Mitchell has since resigned his seat, leaving just Edelman and three other members. On Tuesday night, Edelman was suspended by the council for the February and March meetings with the intent that some sort of conflict resolution process would take place during that time in order to get the commission back on track. However, there will be no quorum for the February or March meetings. The city’s current commission recruitment process — for five city commissions, including the BTSSC — is currently underway with applications tentatively scheduled to be submitted to the City Council for appointments in March. All of this began with a letter sent to the council back in October — signed by Gudz, Andrews and Mitchell — which claimed Edelman showed “a lack of respect for the chair, commissioners, and all involved by consistently prolonging meetings, derailing discussions, failing to yield the floor, and not accepting the decisions of the commission. “We are calling on you to remove Todd Edelman from the BTSSC immediately,” the letter said. “If he remains on the commission, we feel that we have no recourse but to resign from the BTSSC.” The council declined to

act on that letter and at the commission’s November meeting, Edelman admitted his behavior as a commissioner was not ideal and apologized, saying at the time, “I regret that my behavior has elicited the negative reaction shown in the letter. I sincerely apologize for the times I was clearly out of order and disrespectful to the chair and other commissioners.” The commission voted at that November meeting to censure Edelman and noted that “if behaviors continue, progressive penalties will occur.” Edelman accepted the censure and agreed to conditions set out for his behavior.

Escalation Then, two months later, at the commission’s January meeting, commissioners approved a letter asking the City Council to remove Edelman. But at Tuesday’s City Council meeting, concerns were raised by members of the public as well as two council members — Mayor Pro Tem Gloria Partida and Councilman Will Arnold — about a process that led so quickly from censure to a request for removal. Arnold noted that censure is not explicitly defined in the city’s handbook on commissions but said, “it sounds like what they felt was an earnest attempt to try to address the issue.” However, he said, “I’m not sure what happened in between this censure (and the vote to request Edelman’s removal). “It sounds like Mr. Edelman was earnest in his desire to proactively address the issues that were brought up in that censure process,” Arnold said, “but there’s been only one meeting between the censure and this January meeting where it was decided that it wasn’t working. “And it would have been helpful if the correspondence we received from the other commissioners had indicated, ‘Hey we tried something, it’s not working because of X, Y and Z.’ “Absent that,” said Arnold, “I’m here to speculate that there was just a feeling that the censure

wasn’t working, we’ve reached some sort of tipping point or something.” That’s not just a flawed process, said Arnold, “that’s not a process.” “I know it’s well within our rights to remove a commissioner, to disband a commission, but that doesn’t make me comfortable that this is something that we ought to do in this case.” Partida noted that city commissions are frequently home to “some lively discussions” and said the fact that “this particular commission has gotten to this point … is a red flag for me.” “I haven’t been to this commission so I don’t know the details of what has happened,” she said. “I’m a little concerned that this was brought up in November and then again in January and I’m not sure what happened in December but it seems like a very short time.” “The other thing I’m troubled with is that none of the commissioners that want (Edelman) off are here,” Partida said. “And I know it’s midnight, so I probably wouldn’t want to be here either. But they might have come at the beginning of public comment … For me, I feel like if you are going to ask somebody to leave your commission then you should show up.” “I’m not sure what to do going forward,” she added. “I would suggest that maybe Mr. Edelman doesn’t show up for a few meetings while he goes through mediation just so we can work through the process.” That ultimately is what the council decided to do: suspend Edelman for the February and March meetings, while encouraging a conflict resolution process for all those who are willing to participate. Edelman told the council he would be willing. “I’m happy to abide by the conditions set this evening,” he said. The mayor — who serves as council liaison to the BTSSC and said he has attended more than 80 percent of its meetings — indicated there have been larger issues surrounding the commission and its

April 22, 1925 — Jan. 15, 2020 Hans (Johannes) Abplanalp, professor emeritus in avian science at UC Davis and longtime Davis resident, passed away peacefully at home on Jan. 15 at the age of 94. After completing his graduate education at the University of Washington (Pullman) and UC Berkeley, Hans embarked on his lifelong career at UC Davis as a professor in poultry husbandry/avian science. He received many awards for his internationally recognized

research in poultry genetics and was chair of the department of avian science at the time of his retirement. He is survived by his wife Salome; children Hans, Susan, Helen and Peter; six grandchildren and one great-grandchild. The family requests that, in lieu of flowers, contributions be made to the UC Davis Hospice Program, 202 Cousteau Place, Suite 185, Davis, CA 95618. There are no services planned at this time.

the council’s decision on the BTSSC request were six members of the public who spoke in opposition to Edelman’s removal, with most calling such a move not just unprecedented but one which would send a terrible message. “I think this is really misguided and sends a very wrong message to commissioners,” said Alan Pryor, who serves on the city’s Natural Resources Commission. Roberta Millstein, who chairs the city’s Open Space and Habitat Commission (but said she was speaking as an individual), said, “I think dismissing Todd Edelman from his commission would be unprecedented and unwarranted and I think it would set bad precedent for future commissions.” Millstein said she attended the January meeting of the BTSSC and was puzzled why commissioners would ask Edelman to change his behavior in November and then in January vote to dismiss him with only one meeting in between. “Todd had promised to change his behavior and I thought his demeanor during the January meeting was quite appropriate,” Millstein said. “But commissioners did not explain why they did not give Todd time to demonstrate the changed behavior they’d asked for. Instead, they all admitted that Todd’s expertise in commission matters was extensive and they acknowledged that he is dedicated and passionate. As reasons for dismissal they said things like, ‘I don’t want the meetings to go long.’ “The commissioner handbook does not specify these as reasons for dismissal and I don’t believe anyone has ever been dismissed for such reasons before,” Millstein said. She and others also objected to commission members threatening to resign if Edelman was not removed. “I don’t understand that,” Ron Glick said. “I get that they’re all volunteers and I’ve had to work in groups

inability to do what it needs to do. “That commission has been very ineffective for the past … three years,” Lee said. “There were some very major personnel changes which had it get potentially back on track, but I will say the last year the commission has not been able to tackle what it needs to. The reality is they haven’t been very effective and I point this out because there are some real costs.” He offered one example: “For the past several years we’ve been allocating money for traffic calming. In the past three years there’s been zero traffic calming. One of the charges of the BTSSC is to be more actively involved with traffic calming and …. they have a real role with assisting staff with these types of programs. They didn’t. They aren’t. “I don’t put that on Todd,” Lee said. “But the reality is that for those commissioners who have been there, it’s been such an extremely frustrating experience, not because of conflicting views, but because of meeting management issues — and I don’t place that on the chair, just the workings of the seven people there — that there is no additional energy or bandwidth to take on anything other than the bare minimum.”

Long-term issue Lee also stressed that what BTSSC commissioners were objecting to regarding Edelman’s behavior “is not a recent phenomenon. This is not something that has just come up in the last month or two. This has been a year-plus-long challenge for the commission. “There have been three chairs that have over the last year-plus tried to work with Todd,” said Lee. “They have spent a lot of time with him (as has staff liaison Brian Abbanat) trying to figure out a way for the meeting to be conducted in a useful manner.” Among those who stuck around until midnight for

where, you know, people had to put up with me and probably they didn’t like it and I’ve had to work with people I didn’t like. “I think that this sets a really bad precedent for commission members to come threatening the council with ‘Purge somebody or else we’re going to resign,’” he said.

Process? Edelman also addressed the council Tuesday night, laying out his concerns about the process that led to the commission’s request that he be removed. “I stand behind my performance and record as an appointed member of the BTSSC … and this includes an acknowledgement that I could have done a few things much better, and an acceptance of the commission’s censure in November. “What I don’t appreciate is the process since then that’s brought this issue into the council,” he said. “A decision by the council to remove me from the BTSSC will, I fear, undermine the independence not necessarily of the commissions themselves, but of the positive, sometimes strident and occasionally harsh minority voices that have made Davis what it is today.” The council in the end chose not to remove Edelman but suspend him for two meetings instead.

Solveig Manners

Sept. 24, 1924 — Jan. 21, 2020 Solveig Saethre Manners went home to the Lord on January 21. She passed away peacefully at her Winters home surrounded by her loved ones and caregivers. She was 95 years old. She is survived by her sons, Spencer Manners (Linda) of Woodland and Noel Manners (Tuum) of Covelo, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Born September 24, 1924 in Mandal, Norway, she was the sixth of seven children of Oscar Saethre (b.1879) and Kari Olsen Saethre (b.1888). She was 15 years old when the German army invaded Norway and 20 years old when the occupation ended. The war and occupation caused the death of her father and brothers. Solveig followed her older sisters to America, arriving in February 1947 where she met John Manners, a former Special Forces paratrooper who had been assigned to a Norwegian-American OSS Operational Group during the war. They soon married, and later that year drove from New York to San Francisco to live near John’s family. After arriving in San Francisco, her first job

was selling cosmetics and hats at City of Paris department store on Union Square where she was often photographed for their advertising. They later moved to Sacramento where John was employed at the Franchise Tax Board for over 30 years. Solveig was a wonderful homemaker and created a warm home for her family. During the 1950s and 1960s when her two boys were growing up, she would plan weekend outings to camp, boat, water or snow ski. John was not particularly outdoorsy but gamely went along with these activities. As a lifelong skier, she continued to drive to the Tahoe area ski resorts until age 84 when she hung up her skis for the last time. Solveig was very involved in church her entire adult life and held a weekly prayer meeting for women at the Yolo County Jail for 15 years. She was a Deaconess at Trinity Tabernacle in Davis for many years before moving to Winters where she attended Pioneer Presbyterian. A celebration of life will be held at 3 p.m. on Saturday, February 1 at the Lutheran Church of the Incarnation, 1701 Russell Blvd in Davis.

Uptick in water bill may indicate leak in slab Special to The Enterprise Finding out your home has a slab leak can feel like the rug has been pulled out from under you. But panic and confusion are not a great starting point when seeking out the right contractor. There are plenty of tools at your disposal to get a grip on what is happening with your home and your plumbing. Armed with knowledge, you’re better prepared to tackle that slab leak. The majority of homes in California have slab foundations. In these homes, the plumbing generally runs in the ground under the slab. Winter weather causes soil — especially the expansive soil in Davis — to expand and contract. That movement causes pipe breaks, a.k.a. slab leaks. Usually a pipe break conjures images of gushing water and flooding. Most slab leaks, though, are the size of a pinhole and water will only surface after months of steady, concealed leakage. By then, that pinhole has run up a high water bill and — if the leak is hot water — a high gas or electric bill. Homeowners have a few tools at their disposal to catch a slab leak before it causes property damage or

more damage to their wallets. It just takes a bit of detective work. Clues come in a variety of forms, though. The city notes a sharp uptick in water usage. The PG&E bill is unusually high. Mr. Biggles has found a nice warm spot on the tile floor to curl up and take a nap. Hot water comes out of the tap instantaneously. The water heater seems to run continuously. Misinterpreting one of those last clues has lead more than one homeowner to replace a perfectly good water heater. Some proactive sleuthing can save time and money. Start by figuring out if there is a plumbing leak at

all. You’ll need to locate your water meter. After making sure no water is running — including that tricky toilet in the back bathroom and the pool’s auto-fill — check the meter’s indicator. You’ll see a needle, a triangle or a digital read-out. Movement indicates a plumbing leak. Now you can narrow your search to either the interior or the exterior of the home. You’ll need to find the water shut-off valve to the house. After shutting off the water, check the meter again. Movement tells you that the leak is outside the house. It is not a slab leak, but it could be a main line or irrigation leak. Lack of move-

ment tells you the leak is inside the house. Next, determine if the leak is on the cold side or hot side of the interior plumbing. Turn the water to the house back on. Head over to the water heater and find its shut-off valve. Shut off the hot water and check the meter again. If the meter is moving, the leak is on the cold side of the system. If the meter is still, the leak is on the hot side. California has set its sights on reducing average per person per day water usage from 85 gallons to 55 gallons by 2025. The EPA asserts that 10 percent of U.S. households waste at least 90 gallons of water

every day because of leaks. A few simple steps can help staunch that flow. If you have any questions about slab leaks — or leaks in general — contact Bullseye Leak Detection a call at

Choosing the best fruit tree BY DON SHOR Special to The Enterprise California’s development history is intertwined with fruit trees. Since the Spanish padres brought seeds of the Spanish sweet orange (a seeded juice orange with thin skin, similar to our modern Valencia) and a thick-skinned lemon-like fruit, the earliest settlements by Europeans have taken advantage of the ideal fruit-growing regions of the state. The first citrus farm was planted in 1841 in Los Angeles, and William Wolfskill’s oranges were selling in San Francisco during the Gold Rush for a dollar apiece. Our climate is ideal for growing stone fruits (apricots, cherries, plums, peaches and nectarines), both in orchards and as backyard trees. Apples are generally grown

Or buy a good fruit dryer— nearly all fruit can be dried, including some that would surprise you (dried Asian pear slices are as sweet as candy).

where autumn nights are cooler, and pears thrive in the Delta. In recent years Mediterranean and Asian fruits have become increasingly popular, and for good reason: persimmons, figs and pomegranates are probably the easiest, lowest-maintenance backyard fruit trees. What you plant is a very individual decision. Here’s a checklist of considerations.

Fruit all season?

What do you have room for? You can get more trees in your yard than you might think. Miniature trees, multiple grafts, dwarfing rootstocks, close spacing, espaliered trees and summer pruning all enable you to get more fruit per square foot. Ignore old-fashioned spacing

Below, The “dual-purpose” peach called Red Baron is grown for the showy spring flowers as well as the outstanding fruit. and pruning recommendations designed for orchard production. Your goals are smaller trees, better quality fruit and a longer harvest season, and you are in control of the size and production of the trees. You can plant trees very close together, prune severely to reduce the size of the tree and the quantity of the fruit, and choose varieties that ripen over a long period. With the right combination of stone fruits, Mediterranean fruits, and citrus, you can get fruit from your backyard every month of the year!

severely enables you to plant several varieties and extend your harvest. You get a reasonable amount of fruit from each tree, with different types coming in at different times. With more unusual fruits — Asian pears, Fuyu persimmons, blood oranges — you might want to try some from the farmer’s market first. Though these keep much better than stone fruits, you may find your family just doesn’t use that many — and by ‘that many’ I mean dozens or even hundreds.

What do you like? What would you use?

What ripening period is important to you?

A fully-grown tree trained in the traditional orchard style can produce hundreds of fruit! That is a LOT to eat or process in a few days. Training them as small trees or shrubs, and pruning

If you travel each summer, select varieties to ripen before you go or after you get back. If you have room for a couple of types, put in an early, mid-season, and late variety.

Consider a mix of “styles” and fruit types so you have something different each period during the season. An excellent combination, if you have room, is: ■ A Blenheim apricot and an early peach (June), ■ a midseason nectarine such as Heavenly White, or a classic peach, like Loring (July), ■ a late-season pluot such as Dapple Dandy, and a rich, late peach such as O’Henry or Rio Oso Gem (August), ■ a late-ripening Asian pear such as Shinko (September), ■ a pomegranate (October), ■ and a persimmon (October to November). That would give fruit from late May through November! Add some mandarins and navel oranges, and you’ll have fruit all through the winter and spring as well.

How long do they take to start fruiting? Gardening teaches patience, but some people want fruit right away. Peaches, nectarines and plums all fruit on year-old wood, so you may get some fruit in the second growing season. Spurfruiting types such as apples, pears and apricots, as well as pomegranates, take three to four years to start bearing fruit.

The elevated foyer was home to the front door, stairwell landing, coat closet, an awkward island, and multiple steps down to the sunken living room. After: We designed a new floor to ceiling foyer screen with a finish that coordinated with the spiral staircase.

HOME IMPROVEMENT

Make a calm home a reality in 2020

This tray of peaches and nectarines was harvested on one afternoon in July.

Special to The Enterprise Think of this new decade as the motivation to hit reset in your environment. Everywhere you look someone is promoting the benefits of decluttering. But, organizing your home isn’t something you do once and walk away. Your home and your habits influence one another in this effort. So, while paring back nonessential objects is a big task — and one well worth undertaking — maintaining your hard-won organization will be easier with thoughtful storage. If you can do the dishes, tidy up in five to 10 minutes, and hit the “reset” button on your home before bedtime, you will be able to fully enjoy your space in the morning. The way to get that evening “reset” down to 10 minutes, or less is to have a place for everything. A trend we have seen more of recently is generous, accessible and visually minimal storage. Panel front doors — whether they be on the front of an appliance, or lead to a full space like a pantry — disappear into a room. Full wall cabinetry is minimal in appearance, but maximal in function, allowing for the realities of needing and having “stuff,” and easy access to your stuff while maintaining a serene space. The quest for organization has pushed design a long way in recent years. Having a thorough understanding of how you really use your home helps you organize your space for your life. Where do you feed your dog or work on

hobbies? Do you bake? In a dining or living room, bench seats may be customized with built in charging stations for devices. Thoughtfully designed cabinet pull outs are available with designated spaces for everything, from little spice jars to stock pots and recycling bins. When you don’t have to think about where to put things, putting them where they belong is simple, making it easy to keep track of essentials. Whether that essential is olive oil you use daily — or that is infrequently used but nonetheless essential when you need it saffron — or rain boots, or card stock, whatever it is, when there is a designated place for everything, the likelihood of waste of both time and resources is reduced. Of course, remodeling and working with a designer is a great opportunity to fine tune a home or

a room with accessible storage, organization and calm in mind. However you don’t have to remodel to make many simple improvements. There are plenty of products available to aid in organization for those who are unable to remodel, with many options for adapting standard cabinetry with pull outs, risers and racks. If you are making the effort to clear clutter and simplify this year, consider how and where you will keep what has “made the cut.” Let your home and your habits be a positive influence on one another. Oh yes, and “out of sight, out of mind” can be pretty nice if you want to think about other things.

FRUIT: Enjoy Nature’s bounty from back yard From Page A6

What is easy to grow? Learn before you plant which types of fruit need special pruning or spraying. Apples are kind of a hassle here. The fruit is sure to get a codling moth, the “worm” in your apple, and managing that pest requires a combination of trapping, spraying, and picking up the spoiled fruit on the ground. Cherries, unfortunately, get a worm in the fruit that is very difficult to control. Larger-fruited stone fruits are considered the most desirable fruits. The flavor of a summer peach just off the tree is incomparable. Peaches and nectarines must be pruned each year, or the branches will collapse from the weight of the fruit. Summer pruning techniques can be used to manage the tree size. It’s not difficult but requires a little guidance at first. Plums and pluots are among the easier summer fruits to grow. Pruning is beneficial, but not crucial. They have very few pest problems and yield abundantly.

Persimmons, pomegranates, figs, and citrus are easiest of all. They require no pruning or spraying. They can be pruned for size control, but it isn’t necessary.

Which trees look nice in the landscape? Your fruit trees can be a very pretty part of your landscape. Some have very showy flowers, such as Red Baron and Fantastic Elberta peaches and Garden Prince almond (also a naturally small tree). Some have all-season beauty: persimmons have vivid chartreuse new growth in spring, attractive shiny leaves in summer, golden fall color, and the winter fruit is showy even if you don’t eat it (don’t worry, the birds will!). Apricot trees have a graceful spreading growth habit. And citrus trees have fragrant spring flowers, nice evergreen foliage, and colorful fruit all winter. You really can enjoy nature’s bounty of fresh fruit from your back yard all year round. A little planning makes it easier and more satisfying.

Local writers endangered by AB5

Vote to give F Provenza another term The issue: Experience, accomplishments merit re-election One of the fortunate aspects of living in a town like Davis is the sheer quality of candidates we get for local office. We doubt that there is any district in the state that has anyone as qualified as the three candidates who are running for District 4 of the Yolo County Board of Supervisors. FROM THIS well-qualified group, we see the incumbent Jim Provenza as the clearest choice to serve the people of the district, which includes much of north, east and south Davis. Provenza’s dozen years on the board have been marked by his diligent work on behalf of his constituents and the most vulnerable residents of the county. He came to the board in 2009, following a lengthy career as an attorney that included stints at the Legal Aid Foundation of Santa Barbara County, where his work focused on domestic violence, consumer fraud and civil rights violations; with Legal Services of Northern California, where he focused on housing discrimination cases; as counsel to both the state Senate Judiciary Committee and the Assembly Public Safety Committee; and as a representative of the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office in the state Capitol. He is the chair of First 5 Yolo, an agency that improve the lives of the county’s youngest residents, from early developmental screenings to child abuse prevention efforts. Likewise, staff and volunteers at the Yolo Crisis Nursery credit Provenza with helping save the nursery when it was on the verge of being shuttered several years ago. The nursery, located in Davis, provides care to children 0-5 whose parents are in crisis. That care keeps young children safe while their parents receive the help they need. It is one of the most effective systems we have for keeping kids out of the welfare system. On other end of the spectrum, Provenza is also the chair of the Yolo Healthy Aging Alliance, an agency he helped create in 2010 to coordinate services for the county’s senior citizens. He is focused on building a new Adult Day Health Center, which provides a range of services for individuals and families dealing with challenges like dementia and chronic illness. He has also been a champion of agriculture and environmental concerns, helping preserve open spaces in the rural areas of the county. For his experience, his service and the good things he still has yet to accomplish, we are proud to recommend to the voters of the District 4 to send Jim Provenza back to the Board of Supervisors for another term.

rom Madera to Mill Valley, Eureka to Encinitas, Coalinga to Claremont, local columns are among the most popular features in newspapers that still survive in this era of Craigslist and eBay taking away classified advertising and many display ads moving to Google and Facebook. But now local columnists following in the large footsteps of the late icons Herb Caen of San Francisco and Leon Emo of Madera are suddenly an endangered species. Few newspapers, especially weeklies, can afford to pay these writers regular salaries for the valuable work they do in feeling out and revealing the pulse of their own communities, and many of them have other jobs or sources of income. Now a new state law best known as AB 5, authored by Democratic Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez of San Diego, threatens the very existence of this vital species, without whose popular appeal some surviving newspapers might wither away. Many small papers also employ similarly situated part-timers — day traders or supermarket cashiers or medical assistants by day, reporters by night — to cover city councils and local boards governing everything from water and sewers to schools and building permits.

So far, truckers have done the best in getting around AB 5, which was opposed during last year’s legislative process by many of the very gig workers it supposedly will protect, especially those who drive for rideshare services like Uber and Lyft. Without them, these agencies might get little or no coverage and many areas could become de facto news deserts. Under AB 5, newspapers now must make such almostvolunteer workers into fulltime employees if they are paid for more than 35 news articles or columns per year. Never mind if the writers want this or not. Few small newspapers can afford to do it; even many large dailies are cutting off freelancers for fear they might be sued and found liable for huge legal fees and back pay. All this ties the fate of local columnists and other freelancers who are paid by the piece to truckers and gig workers like the thousands of contract employees at some of the same companies that now get advertising revenue which once funded news coverage. This includes outfits like Google, for one, which pays little or nothing to aggregate huge amounts of news that other people and companies produce at great trouble and expense.

federal judge exempted independent truckers — many of whom own their own vehicles and drive as contractors for shipping companies — from the new law, saying AB 5 conflicts with a federal law that forbids states to make laws affecting prices, routes or service of freight haulers. If those companies had to hire their current contract drivers with full benefits, it would certainly affect shipping prices. Freelance writers have a pending lawsuit of their own. Meanwhile, Uber and Lyft are pushing a proposed November initiative to overturn the law. These moves have not stopped news outlets from moving to protect themselves from possible lawsuits. The largest such action came from Vox Media, which announced in mid-December it would cut ties with more than 200 California contract writers and editors who covered sports for its blog network SB Nation. Even a large outfit like Vox, which also owns New York

Magazine and blogs like Eater and The Verge, can’t afford to give all its workers full benefits, so it has dumped those in California and won’t say how it will replace the coverage they provided. If Vox can’t afford to keep writers under AB 5, how can small-town weeklies be expected to? Gonzalez and other AB 5 sponsors never say they intended to target freelance writers, yet they wrote a very specific article limit into the law. The solution, if lawmakers want newspapers to survive, including some classic small businesses with one editor-ad salesman-writer who needs help but cannot afford to pay much for it, is to fix AB 5 with a new law exempting freelancers and newspapers whose revenues don’t exceed a specific limit. Anything short of that ought to provoke a First Amendment lawsuit, for no California law has ever threatened to curb freedom of the press more than this one. — Email Thomas Elias at tdelias@aol.com.

LETTERS Delighted to endorse Provenza We are delighted to endorse Jim Provenza for re-election to the Yolo County Board of Supervisors. From his service on the Davis School Board, to City-County collaborations, to policy acumen shaped by his career in Sacramento, Jim’s great. He listens, he cares, he follows up, he’s kind and he has deep knowledge of social services, labor, budgets, education, energy, open space and so much more. Jim always keeps it positive, respecting those he might differ with on any particular issue. What community could ask for more? This all said, what’s been most impressive to us is hearing from friends who have met Jim and witnessed his conscientious and effective public service. Comments like this come back to us: “Do you know Jim? How thoughtful he was when I asked him about ...” and, you know who always makes sense? Jim Provenza. He gets it.” These comments from Yolo residents who engage on the issues that matter most to them tell us all we need to know about Jim. An example of Jim’s attentiveness to issues raised by constituents is his strong advocacy for a new animal shelter. Davis residents asked that the current antiquated shelter be replaced. Jim has taken the issue on and is working with the county, our four cities, the university and the private sector to make a humane state-of- the-art facility a reality. Due to Jim’s conscientious and effective public service we are supporting his re-election.” Janet and Joe Krovoza Davis

Vote yes on Measure G I joined the DJUSD community this year as a science teacher at DSHS to be closer to my family. I also took a $16,000 yearly pay cut to do so. It’s incredible that schools a mere 30 minutes apart offer such vastly different compensation packages.

If Measure G does not pass, I fear this gap will continue to grow. Measure G focuses on attracting new teachers. Attracting new teachers with a competitive salary offer is essential when considering the looming teacher shortage. However, the community should also consider the position veteran teachers will find themselves in if Measure G does not pass. Regardless of how wonderful we may perceive DJUSD to be, teachers need to plan for retirement. We may witness veteran teachers transferring to higher paying districts for their last years of teaching to maximize their retirement earnings. Please vote yes on Measure G to help maintain Davis’ stellar academic reputation. Sydney Lundy Davis High School

Deos represents change I’m voting for Linda Deos for real change. I strongly support term limits in California politics and agree with those imposed on our state legislators. I think the longer an elected office-holder is in the same job the more entrenched they become with their same ideology and their same old ways of doing things. That’s no longer enough given the huge challenges facing our planet, our country, and our county. For instance, on a local level, Yolo County still has an extremely regressive

criminal justice system that disproportionately hammers even non-violent lowincome defendants of color and minority youth. We still have an exploding homeless population that shows no signs of abating. Yet our supervisors are only using short-term band-aids to try to alleviate this glaring problem and have yet to enact a long-term comprehensive plan to address our homeless and housing crisis. Yolo County is still increasing its carbon footprint every year while the world is burning and the Supervisors have yet to declare a climate emergency or implement policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that have already been adopted by the city of Davis and more progressive communities. Enough is enough. Jim Provenza is a very nice man and truly believes in what he is doing. But he has had 12 years to make his mark on Yolo Co. and there has barely been a dent in improving the lives of the most vulnerable people in our midst. It’s time we changed the make-up of our staid, male-dominated Board of Supervisors and their same old ways. Endorsed by one of my favorite local progressive heroes, public defender and 2018 Yolo County District Attorney candidate, Dean Johannson, Linda Deos will work for the little and forgotten people in our county. Linda Deos gets my vote. Alan Pryor Davis

Census Bureau is recruiting workers Special to The Enterprise The U.S. Census Bureau wants the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help to get a complete and accurate count this spring and summer. Thousands of censustaker jobs are still available in every Northern California county. The jobs offer flexible hours on nights and weekends, weekly pay, mileage reimbursement and higher-than-average hourly wages. The pay rate in Sacramento County begins at $21 per hour, even more for supervisors. Anyone who is 18 years old, a citizen and has an email address can apply online at 2020census.gov/ jobs. Beginning in mid-April, census takers will work in an operation that counts all people who have not selfresponded to the census questionnaire. They will visit those

households in person and help residents respond to the census. We want to recruit people who live in the communities theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working. People who know their communities are best positioned to explain how important it is to respond to the Census when they knock on the door. The decennial count influences how hundreds of billions of dollars are distributed each year for schools, roads, bridges, homeless and senior services, emergency response and other critical services and programs. For more information about 2020 Census jobs, call 1-855-JOB-2020. There will be two recruiting events at the Carmichael Library, 5605 Marconi Ave. in Carmichael, from 10 a.m to 4 p.m. Friday, Jan. 31, and Saturday, Feb. 1.

Celebrating 10 years of Thursday Live! Series gives all ages a chance to gather, relax and listen to great music

The British Invasion was one of several tribute shows at Thursday Live! that have featured the Davis Odd Star Band. From left, are Kurt Roggli, Richard Urbino, Don Johnson, Rene Martucci, Natalie Cortez, Jamie Knapp, Dianna Craig and Aubrey Jones.

he Davis Odd Fellows will continue their legacy of providing donation-based performances with a dose of cake, country and community on Thursday, Feb. 6, for the 10th anniversary of Thursday Live! “We’re going to treat it as a celebratory event and a thank you for supporting us over the 10 years, said Odd Fellows music committee chair Juelie Roggli. This year’s event will be ripe with refreshments and a performance by Bay Area musician Maurice Tani, who is known for fusing country, Americana and blues. But Thursday Live! wasn’t always the largescale show that it is today. When Kurt Roggli — another Odd Fellows member and the co-spearheader — and Juelie Roggli first brought the event to fruition, the turnout ranged from 25 to 50 people, but in recent years, attendance has grown to 100 to 150. “Most of the people who come, come not to dance or party but to actually listen to music,” Kurt Roggli said. According to him, this wasn’t an environment that Davis had before Thursday Live! took off. There were bars with occasional performances, but there weren’t really any all-ages venues in town for people to simply watch and listen to live music. “There are places that people can go if they’re 21 or 25,” he said. “But if you’re a little bit older and you want to hear good music, there are precious

So we wanted to pick up the slack. It’s much more of a happening thing than it was initially.” In its infancy, Thursday Live! featured artists across genres, including rock, reggae and koto. But over time, the music committee found that people often turned out for Americana shows and so they tried to tailor their selections to the community

preference. The Rogglis hustled to find local musicians or people in their network to perform to get the event off the ground and keep it afloat. Kurt Roggli and volunteers would personally set up the sound systems at Odd Fellows Hall and the bands received no guarantees. “At first it was an act of faith on the part of the bands that this was a

And it was a good deal, according to Tani, who played at a previous Thursday Live! event and liked the atmosphere enough to travel to Davis from the Bay Area to perform again this coming Thursday. “I’m a little bit honored that they tossed me this one that is the 10th anniversary of the series,” Tani said. For his narrative lyricism, some have labeled Tani’s music as “hillbilly noir,” a label Tani does not find very accurate given his metropolitan upbringing. He described his music as being rooted in Americana but from a “left-coast” perspective. “While I still think of

“It’s always a thrill when local great Joe Craven shows up,” said Juelie Roggli, chair of the Davis Odd Fellows music committee, about the nationally acclaimed singer and multi-instrumentalist from Davis, who has often graced the Odd Fellows stage.

Louis becomes increasingly frightened and frustrated, when his wife Michelle repeatedly insists that things he discusses or describes as happening in the here and now, actually took place long ago — or not at all. COURTESY PHOTOS

Short films an engaging potpourri Weighty topics alternate with heartwarming little fables BY DERRICK BANG Enterprise film critic A droll familial theme runs through this year’s Academy Award-nominated short subjects: Two of the animated entries are titled “Daughter” and “Sister,” while two live-action entries are titled “Brotherhood” and “A Sister.” Family also is key to “Hair Love” and “The Neighbor’s Window,” which makes one wonder if this is design, rather than coincidence. And while numerous entries involve solemn or even grim topics — no doubt reflecting the increasingly agitated state of real-world events — the collective package is by no means a slog through wrist-slashing despair, as was the case last year. For which we can be grateful. The live-action entries kick off with Belgian director Delphine Girard’s suspenseful “Une soeur (A Sister),” which begins placidly, as a couple takes a late-night drive; Alie (Selma Alaoui) chats on her cell phone, discussing child-care details with her sister. The tableau seems innocuous … until Girard shifts to an emergency call center, where an operator (Veerle Baetens) takes a call, and the same conversation repeats. And we suddenly realize that Alie isn’t chatting capriciously; she’s in real trouble — the driver (Guillaume Duhesme) is no friend — and trying desperately, cleverly, to get help. Tension builds as the sharp-witted operator, deducing the scenario, adjusts on the fly; the camera mostly holds on Baetens, who does a terrific job. The guy in the car grows increasingly suspicious as the “conversation” continues, until… “Saria,” a brutal slice of recent history, comes from Bryan Buckley, who also was nominated in this category for 2012’s “Asad,” a coming-of-age fable about a Somali boy struggling to survive in his war-torn land. Inspired by an actual 2017 event, Buckley’s new film focuses on Saria (Estefanía Tellez) and Ximena (Gabriela Ramírez), two orphaned sisters who — along with scores of other young girls — endure daily abuse and hardship as “residents” of Guatemala’s Virgen de La Asuncion Safe Home (a designation that is beyond ironic). The food is awful, the girls are worked mercilessly, and constantly demeaned by a guard (Imelda Castro) who can’t be bothered with names, and refers to them solely as “little bitches.” Occasional gatherings with orphaned boys allow brief respites … but can young romance blossom amid such harsh surroundings? “Brotherhood,” this category’s likely winner, is a Canada-Tunisia-QatarSweden co-production

Mohamed (Eltayef Dhaoui, left) and his younger brother Abdallah (Mohamed Ali Ayari) are about to have a most unusual encounter with a donkey.

The 2019 Oscar Shorts Starring: Veerle Baetens, Estefanía Tellez, Gabriela Ramírez, Mohamed Grayaâ, Maria Dizzia, Greg Keller, Eltayef Dhaoui and Mohamed Ali Ayari Rating: Not rated, and perhaps too intense for young viewers helmed by Meryam Joobeur. Mohamed (Mohamed Grayaâ), a devout and hardened shepherd, ekes out a meager existence alongside his wife and their two young sons. The dynamic shifts abruptly when the family’s estranged eldest son, Malek (Malek Mechergui), returns from Syria after having served as a foreign fighter for ISIS. He’s accompanied by a new wife, her features almost completely concealed beneath a burqa. The tension is palpable; Mohamed clearly disapproves, despite Malek’s effort to reintegrate with his family. The story progresses with very little dialog, much of the drama unfolding via gestures and expressions captured deftly by cinematographer Vincent Gonneville. The most striking detail is that all three boys — actual brothers, and first-time actors — are freckled and red-haired, which seems bizarrely out of place in these surroundings. Joobeur’s approach is quietly unsettling, and we anticipate nothing good. American director Marshall Curry’s “The Neighbor’s Window,” in great contrast, is an inconsequential trifle that doesn’t belong alongside its far better nominees. Alli (Maria Dizzia) and Jacob (Greg Keller), big-city parents increasingly harried by their expanding family, are mildly shocked when two free-spirited twentysomethings move into a similar high-rise apartment across the street … and engage in all manner of sexual activity without bothering to draw the curtains. Despite feeling like voyeurs, Alli and Jacob can’t help watching, as days, weeks and months pass. Although Dizzia attempts to convey the weary ennui of Alli’s life, Curry can’t

sustain interest over his film’s 20-minute length; the easily anticipated “surprise climax” hardly justifies the journey. My favorite entry, the delectably gentle and droll “Nefta Football Club,” is a France-Tunisia co-production directed by Yves Piat. The set-up sounds like the opening of a shaggy-dog joke: Two brothers meet a donkey wearing headphones … in the desert. In a Tunisian village where children play football (soccer) as often as possible, brothers Moha-med (Eltayef Dhaoui) and Abdallah (Mohamed Ali Ayari) use a motorcycle to scavenge throughout the nearby desert. They come across the aforementioned donkey, which — as we’ve learned, via a conversation between the two men (Lyès Salem and Hichem Mesbah) who await it — has been trained to return home while listening to a specific song through the aforementioned headphones. The younger, innocent Abdallah doesn’t understand why the donkey’s satchels are filled with bags of white powder, but his older brother knows all too well. Piat’s ability to find humor against a premise of drug-smuggling is nothing short of genius, and the film’s conclusion is absolutely perfect. Shifting to animation, two entries employ a similar stop-motion approach with “soft,” felt-like puppets. Los Angeles-based Chinese director Siqi Song’s “Sister,” at first blush, seems a study of typical sibling rivalry between a boy and his constantly annoying little sister, as they grow up alongside each other. These events are recalled by the boy’s “off-camera” adult self (Bingyang Liu), reflecting on childhood memories. Song’s little fable frequently yields to impressionistic and even bizarre touches, as viewed by the boy: his infant sister ballooning into a huge baby early on (perhaps a metaphor for how much she bothers him); and, at another point, his pulling out her nose, Pinocchiostyle. But these odd touches will be forgotten when Song reveals the point of her story, given additional emphasis by Liu’s somber narration. The finale is an emotional gut-punch. Czech director Daria Kashcheeva’s “Daughter,”

My favorite entry, the delectably gentle and droll “Nefta Football Club,” is a France-Tunisia co-production directed by Yves Piat. The set-up sounds like the opening of a shaggy-dog joke: Two brothers meet a donkey wearing headphones … in the desert. although treading similar territory, isn’t as successful. Her puppets are mildly grotesque and off-putting, and the story is too mundane: a middle-aged woman still haunted by a childhood incident involving an injured bird, and her father’s failure to understand why it meant so much to her at the time. That moment of misunderstanding has stretched into a lifetime of emotional loss. Now, decades later, the father is an old man awaiting death in a hospital bed; his adult daughter stands at his side, similarly unable to offer the appropriate comfort. The next two entries, heartwarming charmers, employ conventional animation; both feature impressively wise cats, and both tell their stories with little or no dialog. “Hair Love” — from American co-directors Matthew A. Cherry, Everett Downing Jr. and Bruce W. Smith — focuses on a momentous event in a little African American girl’s life: the first time her father assumes responsibility for “doing” his daughter Zuri’s impossibly tangled hair. The poor guy can’t begin to cope with the force of nature atop Zuri’s head, until moisturizer, hairpins, scrunchies and a vivid pink bow ride to the rescue. The story builds to a sweetly poignant finale, fueled at all times by the vibrant score from Paul Mounsey,

The Australian-based “new circus” company called Circa has visited the Mondavi Center several times and built up something of a local following. Under the direction of circus visionary Yaron Lifschitz, Circa brings its newest concept show, “Humans,” to Mondavi’s Jackson Hall stage for five performances from Feb. 6 to 9: 8 p.m. Thursday and Friday, 2 and 8 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. The audience will be seated on stage close to the action, and 10 dancers will lead the audience on “a stirring journey of what it means to be human and of how our bodies, our connections and our aspirations all form part of who we are.” The performers push the boundaries of the old-style “big top” circus entertainment, blurring the lines between movement, dance, theater and circus — and lead the way with a

diverse range of highly visual creations that “redraw the limits to which circus can aspire” (according to the Australian publication The Age). This is a more mature performance, recommended for ages 10 and older. Tickets are $49 general, with discounts for students and children, available at www.Mondavi Arts.org or by calling 530-7542787.

Daniel D. Crawford and Taylor Graves. “Kitbull,” a Pixar “Sparkshort” by director Rosana Sullivan, depicts the unlikely friendship that ignites between a fiercely independent stray kitten and a pit bull being groomed into a fighter. The kitten lives in a discarded box at one edge of the razor-wired yard where the dog is kept chained; their relationship blossoms during an impromptu game involving the bright orange cap of a plastic juice bottle. The little black kitten’s personality is conveyed brilliantly via poses and expressions — Sullivan

clearly is a cat person — and the dog’s more formidable bearing is offset by a gentle disposition wholly at odds with what its (mostly unseen) human master demands. The resulting story is amusing, suspenseful, chilling and touching. By far the strongest entry — and the certain winner — is French director Bruno Collet’s “Mémorable.” His medium of choice, clay animation, is absolutely perfect for this brilliantly conceived parable about the heartbreaking onset of dementia, and the horror of what somebody so afflicted experiences.

Friends and even close family members have mutated into oddly distorted beings akin to scary creatures from space. Worse yet, as time passes, even Michelle begins to destabilize and destructure; little blobs of herself waft away, as if on an unfelt breeze. Collet achieves a shattering degree of emotional intensity in this 12-minute masterpiece. As has become tradition,

He has described his art and process as an exploration of the world, materials and himself. “As a receiver of information, I

want to take in as much as possible, I want to learn as much as possible, and I want to give back as much as possible,” he said in a recent interview. “You know that you don’t have all the answers, and the unknown is the best place

to be as an artist. That actually leads you to ask questions. That’s the position I place myself in, always.” His most recent public commission, “City in the Grass,” was a 100-by-30-foot topographical mosaic in Madison Square Park in New York City last year. In 2017, he created an installation in the massive lobby of the de Young Museum in San Francisco, and last year installed a commissioned piece at the San Francisco International Airport. Drew currently has a solo exhibition at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles and is represented in San Francisco by Anthony Meier Fine Arts. The lecture series is named for the late Betty Jean Thiebaud, filmmaker and educator, and her husband, Wayne Thiebaud, world-renowned artist and UC Davis professor emeritus.

Capital Stage’s ‘Alabaster’ brings out all the emotions BY BEV SYKES Enterprise theater critic Do a Google search on “Alabaster,” the Audrey Cefaly play at Capital Stage, directed by Kristin Clippard, and you’ll get a list of “text words” to help describe it: LGBTQ, PTSD, grief, recovery, alcoholism, samesex relationships, natural disaster, Alabama tornado, farm life, goats ... Now, how, you wonder, does all that fit together into one play? Surprisingly well. This is a very funny, but very dark comedy about two women, learning how to deal with the scars of life and begin to heal. And it’s all narrated by a sassy goat. “A play about suffering that cuts so deep — it also needs goats,” says Capital Stage literary manager Cathy Hardin. There is a cast of four extraordinary actresses. Stephanie Altholz is June, a folk artist who lost her family in a tornado that destroyed their barn, ripped off the front porch of the house, and left June,

the only survivor, scarred from head to toe. She has not left the house in more than two years and spends all of her time painting.

And then there are the goats. Amy Kelly snuck over from B Street to make her Capital Stage debut. She is Weezy, the younger of the goats and it is explained that she speaks both English and goat. Her partner Bib (Janet

Motenko) is an aging goat who only speaks goat. Kelly is a talented comedic actress, whom I have watched play a host of characters, both human and animal. She has that certain je ne sais quois that she brings to everything she plays and this goat was a perfect role for her. In California Stage’s

“Italian Opera,” Motenko played several different very verbal characters. As Bib, the dying goat, she has little to do but sleep, and as she speaks only “goat,” she has no lines. Yet, Motenko presents a sympathetic character, whose dying days are eloquent, words or not. It is a beautiful performance.

As for the humans, kudos to costume/makeup designer Caitlin Cisek, who has created June’s scarred body, both burn scars on her legs and back and ribbed scars on her face. June uses sarcasm, bitterness and isolation to protect her from her emotional scars, until a terrifying incident opens a crack in her wall and lets her open up to Alice. Altholz gives a riveting performance. Altholz and Maris have wonderful chemistry together. Maris’ scars are more deeply hidden, but when June needs her, her raw emotional story is very moving. The scenic design by Timothy McNamara, lighting design by Michael Palumbo and sound/ projection design by Ed Lee make this a very believable story — and whoever painted June’s paintings was wonderful. This is a show that will make you laugh and cry and cringe, but will make you very happy that Sacramento has such a professional theater that presents such wonderful productions.

Redstone will bring full band to The Palms His new album is ‘Shot in the Dark’ Special to The Enterprise Stevie Redstone calls himself “a sucker for the big swooning harmonies and orchestral instrumentation of the ’60s and ’70s.” The Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter and pianist’s new album, “Shot in the Dark,” is an infectious slice of vintage gold, a retro-tinged collection that feels both classic and modern at once as it draws on everything from Motown and Stax to Britpop and Laurel Canyon. Redstone and his band will bring that full sound to The Palms Playhouse, 13 Main St. in Winters, on Friday, Feb. 7 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $22 in advance, $26 at the door and $12 with a student ID. “As proud as I am of the record, I’m even more proud of the way these songs are performed on stage,” Redstone said. “The shows I play are very high energy, totally rocking and rolling and danceable, but they’re also really improvisational. I like to open the songs up and let the band jam in a way that makes each concert totally different and unique.” Prior to going solo, Redstone recorded a pair of projects — an EP with his first band, Redstone Hall, and an LP under the name Steven Roth — with producer Dave Cobb, who won Grammys for his studio

Singer and pianist Stevie Redstone, who’s played dates with The Who and Elvis Costello, will bring his band to The Palms Playhouse in Winters on Friday, Feb. 7. work with Chris Stapleton and Jason Isbell and has also produced the likes of Brandi Carlile, Robert Randolph & the Family Band and Chris Isaak. That earlier album earned rave reviews and helped Redstone land some seriously high-profile gigs, including opening for The Who at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and the Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York, where Elvis Costello also joined the bill. Redstone’s new project reflects a more collaborative approach to his music. He teamed up with writers he met in Nashville and L.A. for more than six months of intensive sessions, pursuing a sound inspired by those

raw recordings from the 1960s and ’70s that have piqued his imagination and inspired his artistic spirit since childhood. Though much of “Shot in the Dark” is drawn from personal experience, Redstone also looks outward, tackling cultural and political issues with subtlety and nuance. It was recorded live and straight to tape at Los Angeles’ Valentine Studios with producer Nic Jodoin (Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Allah-Las). The cuts burst with 1950s-infused jazz, jammy Motown horns and take-you-to-church harmonies, tipping the cap to George Martin and Phil Spector in their outsized ambition.

Each track is chock full of introspective stories of love — or the lack thereof — even while tackling current cultural and political issues with subtlety and nuance. The record opens with the epic sweep of “Shot in the Dark,” a densely orchestrated earworm all about taking chances and going after the things you want in life. Hints of The Ronettes and The Beach Boys permeate the tune, with Redstone’s velvety voice carving through the rich sound of strings and horns. The George Harrisonesque “Now,” released as the album’s first single, combats the modern world’s constant barrage of negativity with an urgent surge of exuberant optimism. “Shots Fired” recalls “Let It Bleed”-era Stones as it decries America’s epidemic of gun violence, and the album closer, “Rivers in the Sky,” was born of the Southern California drought. Tickets are available at Armadillo Music in Davis, Pacific Ace Hardware in Winters, Davids’ Broken Note in Woodland, online via The Palms’ website and Eventbrite, and at the door if not sold out.

YoloArts and Gallery 625 present ‘Postal Migration’ Special to The Enterprise “Postal Migration,” a solo exhibition, will feature the mixed-media artwork of June Daskalakis. The show opens Friday, Feb. 7, at YoloArts’ Gallery 625, at 625 Court St. in Woodland “Postal Migration” looks at the concept of correspondence taking wing, much like migrating birds and seeks to challenge people’s notions of mail and its enduring role in communication. Daskalakis is a native of New York City and holds a degree in sociology from The State University of New York at New Paltz and a degree in English literature from San Francisco State University. She later attended the San Francisco Academy of Art and pursued graduate studies as a fiber and mixed-media master’s degree candidate at John F. Kennedy University in the San Francisco Bay Area. At her studio in Davis,

Daskalakis creates mixedmedia and assemblage works using a process that involves building layers, then peeling away or blending what exists. The art presented in “Postal Migration” was inspired by a trip the artist made to Stockholm and a day spent at the Postal Museum in that city. “During my trip, I wandered the city in awe of its skyscape, active with migrating birds. Writing postcards and letters home, while observing these natural patterns in the sky, sparked a connection,” Daskalakis said about this exhibition. “Postal Migration invites the viewer to consider the possibility of our mail as a form of migration,” she said. “This migration of handwritten correspondence, however, is endangered. Ink to paper, an era of letter writing, is becoming lost to us in an age of digital type on cold, sterile screens.”

June Daskalakis will have a solo mixed-media show at Gallery 625 from Feb. 7 to March 31. Among the pieces on display at the show will be “Some Say They’re in Cahoots,” at right.

As whales cavort in blue-green seas, To watch the hawks on the thermals rise Into the blue of summer skies. Ten more harvests to celebrate Of apple and peach and pear and date. To anticipate the vintner’s wines

Dear Annie: My boyfriend broke up with me pretty suddenly and over the phone right after spring semester ended. We haven’t talked over the summer, and now that school started this fall, it’s been pretty awkward. I still have feelings for him and a lot of questions. Since we haven’t talked to each other for about four months, I don’t know how to start talking to him again. I don’t even know if talking to him is a good idea. After he broke up with me, he said he still wanted to be good friends, and I told him that I honestly didn’t think I could be friends with him. I don’t know what to do. What do you think I should do? — Uneasy at University

From fresh new grapes on ancient vines.

Dear Uneasy at University: I think you ought to listen to your heart, which seems to be saying that it needs more time to heal. So, be cordial when you run into your ex-boyfriend — wish him all the best — but put your energy into nourishing friendships, interests and your sense of self. One day you might be able to be friends with this ex, but that day is not today. And that is 100% OK. ———

Of blazing hearths and soft warm beds.

Dear Annie: I was shocked to read that “Fearing the Future” is so pessimistic at 67. I am 91 and recently wrote the following poem:

Ten more New Years to welcome in,

Ten more autumns in which to see The change of color on every tree, Russets and golds and reds ablaze To brighten the ever-shortening days. Ten winters of freshly fallen snow On mountains above and valleys below. Of cherry-cheeked children on skis and sleds,

Ten Christmas seasons of church bells rung, Of mince pies eaten and carols sung. Of families gathered to celebrate The wonder of that age-old date.

To wonder what the year will bring.

“The Optimist”

Will there be a new baby for me to see?

“Why live to one hundred?” asked my friend.

A great-grandchild on my family tree?

“Isn’t ninety enough to make a good end?”

I strive for another decade of living,

In a glorious blaze in the eastern skies. Moons to wax and wane anew, Trillions of stars in the midnight blue. Ten springs to see the lilacs bloom

Your poem made my day a little brighter, and I’m sure it will do the same for many readers. ———

Doesn’t want to share the title of ‘Grandma’ Dear Annie: I’ve been divorced for a long time. My ex-husband, “Joe,” is living with “Sue.” She is the one who broke us up. I don’t care about that part anymore; she can have him. I’m upset because my granddaughter got married recently, and they gave Sue a corsage, too. When I saw them give it to her, I said to myself, “What the heck?” My other daughter was with me and she said, “Get over it, Ma.” I was hurt but said nothing. After the wedding, when they were taking pictures, they said, “Let’s have the grandparents.” Sue walked up with my ex. Again, I said nothing. My ex is not married to Sue, even though they have been together for a long time, which is why my other daughter said she got the flowers. Does sleeping with Grandpa make you Grandma? These are my granddaughters. I birthed their mothers. I gave up my weekends to babysit the granddaughters. I picked them up from day care and took them to my house until someone could pick them up. I was always there. Do I have to share my title of Grandma with Grandpa’s girlfriend? — Am I Wrong Dear Am I Wrong: Love is not a finite resource. That your granddaughters show love to Sue does not mean they care any less for you. The fact is that this isn’t about you vs. Sue or even you vs. your ex. Whether or not you think it’s fair, they are both going to be a part of your children’s and grandchildren’s lives. Now it’s for you to decide how you’ll behave. I suggest you try out being the bigger person. You might be amazed how much better you feel. And remember, Sue is not the one who broke you up: Give your ex-husband the credit for that. ——— Dear Annie: I have been living with the same guy for 25 years. We have a 22-year-old daughter together. I am listed as a dependent on his taxes. I have not worked a job since our daughter was born. (Well, at least not a job in the sense of getting a paycheck). This man promised me marriage and even proposed, but never went through with actually planning a wedding and getting married. He bought a condo 10 years ago, and just decided to sell it. And now he just tossed me away. Do I have any rights? — Left Behind Dear Left Behind: By default, unmarried couples don’t have any rights to each other’s property. Unless you two had drafted a property agreement, I’m afraid you’re out of luck here. Additionally, according to the legal resource Nolo, “In most states, neither unmarried partner is entitled to receive any alimony-type support after a breakup unless there is proof of a clear agreement to provide post-separation support.” I am sorry that your 25-year relationship has come to an end. In time, you’ll feel more set free than tossed away.

YOUTH SPORTS ROUNDUP

Diamonds shine in season opener Special to The Enterprise RANCHO CORDOVA — The Davis Diamonds vaulted into the 2020 season with solid performances at the Golden State Classic on Saturday. In the Junior Olympic Level 8 Division, Davis' Mia Tobia — in her first year at Level 8 — finished fourth all-round with a 36.325. Tobia was first on vault, a tucked Turchenko, that earned a 9.425. She also won a bronze on uneven bars. The older division was won by Bethany McElhern, who also added golds for bars and vault. Only competing two events, Alexandra Lee won beam and placed second on bars. The Level 8 squad finished second in the team total. In the Level 7 session, the youngest Davis Diamond, Sophie Logvy, nailed her maximum-difficulty uneven bars routine for a 9.3 in her first meet in this level to bring home silver. In the Xcel Older Platinum Division, Lily Rigor won an all-around bronze medal with a 35.375. She was first on bars and a second on beam (9.1). Simone Anderson won the Older Gold Division with a 36.35. She took home golds on bars (9.45) and floor exercise (9.35), as well as a silver on beam (9.5). The bars bronze went to teammate Sabrina Parsons, fourth all-around. The bars silver went to Gabriella Baxter with 9.2 for a Davis sweep of the bars podium. Baxter added a vault bronze. The Older Silver Division saw Daniela Torero-Bucrek post a solid 36.975, good for fourth all-around. The beam silver also went to Torero-Bucrek, who earned scores over 9 for all four performances.

Among the Younger Silver Division, Ilya Salcido won bronze medals on both bars and beam. Olivia Stark's dynamic vault earned a 9.5, good for bronze. Among the Bronze Level gymnasts, Mia Perry, Molly Roseen and Emily Spence were competing for their very first time. Perry totaled a 37.525 for second allaround in the older division. Perry also won a silver for her bars (9.7). In the middle division, Roseen won the all-around silver with 37.35, taking gold on vault and silver on bars. Every Xcel gymnast qualified for the State Championships this spring in their first meet.

Soccer In under-12 girls AYSO Select play, the Davis Blizzard bested crosstown rivals the Natural Disasters 3-0 on Saturday at Nugget Fields. On a rare warm winter day in East Davis, the Blizzard once again let its defense do the talking. Led by goalkeeper Suzette Cruz , who made multiple diving saves, the defense, which included Emma Kerr, and Charlotte Coil, kept the Natural Disasters off the board. The defense needed to be solid against the relentless attack of the Natural Disasters, particularly the fearsome trio of Lucy Chelius, Isabel Damesyn and Chloe Ehlers. The Blizzard offense was led by goalscorers Reese Watterson, Avery Wolk and Odessa Frohlich, and excellent play from Addie Lillenord, Maria Noctor-Cerdeño, Jocelyn Quechuleno, Angie Schick and Morgan Quest.

The Blizzard’s Angie Schick, left, prepares to slip the ball past the Natural Disaster’s Isabel Damesyn to her teammate Avery Wolk (8) in last weekend’s action.

Breisacher nets award Special to The Enterprise IRVINE — After a stellar performance in Oregon last weekend, senior Kristina Breisacher led UC Davis women’s tennis to a 3-1 overall record to earn her first career Big West Athlete of the Week award. Breisacher paired with Shirley Hall in doubles, defeating Portland’s Neli Sunjic/Marija Elenova 6-2 to win the doubles point over the Pilots, and moved on to garner a three-set win over Sunjic at No. 2 singles to help the Aggies to a 4-3 team win. UC Davis is now 3-0 this season when winning the doubles point. In the weekend’s opener, Breisacher was the last singles match off the court against Pac-12 foe Oregon, falling to Lillian Mould at No. 2 singles well after the clinch.

UCD ROUNDUP The Aggies head into Big West play this weekend with a pair of matches at UC Riverside (Saturday) and Long Beach State (Sunday).

Aggie guard Campbell Gray gets off a shot over the CSUN defense in Wednesday’s 61-39 Aggie win at The Pavilion. Gray was a key factor in breaking the Matadors’ full-court pressure defense.

FIRST: Bring on UCSB From Page B12 patient in the post, we can get really good shots.” The 39 points was a season-low for the Matadors and the third-lowest points allowed by the Aggies this year. It was the fourth time in five games that UCD limited an opponent to fewer than 50 points and the second game in a row under 40. With a sluggish start in the first quarter, it was hard for the 387 fans in attendance to believe either team was going to score more than 40. However, the Aggies were eventually able to grab some momentum and pull away for the win. “It felt like we were lacking energy,” said Gross, in her ninth year as UCD’s head coach. “When you miss your first couple of shots, it can cause that feeling. It felt like the whole first quarter we just couldn’t get going, but to our credit, we kept defending. “That’s been something from the last couple of games that we’ve been able to rely on. It’s been when the ball’s not dropping, we’re still bringing a really focused effort on the defensive end. “Then you find yourself where you’re still in the games. You’ve only scored 8 points, but you only gave up 10, and, now, you get your flow going a little bit.” In the first half, the Aggies started hitting from behind the arc.

“They were bringing a lot of pressure, but when we’re patient in the post, we can get really good shots.”

Irvine shot a sizzling 61.3 percent from the field in the first half, while the Aggies struggled through a 36-percent shooting performance. For one brief stretch midway through the second half, however, UCD showed signs of life as Pepper and Stefan Gonzalez hit back-to-back 3-pointers to cut the deficit to 60-52 with 8:52 remaining. Suddenly the listless crowd came to life, but the Anteaters calmly and methodically regained control and dominated from that point on. Again, it was Leonard and Worku leading the way as Irvine put together a 17-5 run to push its lead back to 20 points at 77-57. The Anteaters finished the game with 57.6 accuracy from the field to just 38.6 percent for UCD and absolutely dominated the backboards by outrebounding the Aggies, 38 to 24. UCD returns to action at home Saturday at 5 p.m. against Cal Poly, a 101-100 overtime winner over Cal State Fullerton Thursday night.

Now they come out and seal their wins on a varsity mat against tough opponents.” Among those youngsters was Joshua Prudhomme, who pinned his Cosumnes Oaks opponent 5:29 into the match, and Sam Raising (a 7-4 victor against his Oaks foe). “Josh wrested a really good match. Josh and Sam are not only wrestling well, but winning varsity matches in the Delta League, which is a big deal,” Johnny Rosendale said. Added junior Aaron Turner, “I think the team is coming together real well. We’ve been drilling hard every day in practice, and it’s good to see our new freshman wrestlers learn and progress.” Also claiming wins against Cosumnes Oaks were junior Turner, sophomore Vance Tangren and junior Ethan Horowitz. “We’ve been working on some specific things with Vance and he came out and performed,” added the coach. “The hard thing in any sport is that if you’re down points, you have to keep fighting. Horowitz did that and came home with a big win.” The solo portion of conference postseason begins Feb. 8 at Sheldon High. The top five wrestlers in each weight class will advance to the following weekend’s divisional tournament.

OVERTIME: Break the record tonight? From Page B12 Catholic squad eventually take a 64-63 lead with 45 seconds remaining. With under 20 seconds to go, Joey Asta’s offensive rebound and layin put Davis back ahead, before Silva hit one of two free throw attempts to knot the contest at 65-65 and force the extra 5 minutes of action. In OT, the Devils led first, taking a 70-69 advantage off an Asta scoop-and-score steal before Silva ignited, scoring 9 points in the period. Down 78-72 with 10 seconds left, Davis’ Joey Voss (16 points) sank a 3-pointer. But Jesuit wasn’t missing much from the charity stripe in crunch time, despite the home crowd’s deafening chorus. “Losing to yourself is the toughest,” Solodoff added. “It wasn’t (muscle) or height, we just hurt ourselves on the basics.”

Asta ended the night with a team-high 17 points for DHS. Isaiah Conlan added 11 points for the DHS and Ryan Hakl finished with 9, hitting back-toback shots from downtown that gave the locals their largest lead of the night, 57-52, at the end of the third quarter. Jack Andre netted 20 for Jesuit, while Chris Holley tossed in 16. The Devils will be back on their home court today at 7:30 p.m. for their annual Break the Record Night White-Out contest. Cosumnes Oaks will play the enemy as the locals look to fill their gym to capacity. Last season, 1,110 packed the stands (roughly 500 short of the attendance record), as DHS beat the Wolfpack, 70-57. Also, halftime of Friday’s game, the Blue Devils will honor members of their 1995 section-winning unit — the lone boys team to accomplish the

That historic season, Davis defied the odds after a sluggish start — winning nine of its final 10 contests, including a 61-49 overtime victory against Napa in the Division II Championship. The blue banner now hangs in the rafters of the North Gym. “I’m so proud of having coached those guys,” said Gonzalez, who coached the boys on junior varsity at the time. “What they accomplished, especially Kevin Nosek, winning here and then the national title at UC Davis — they were the right group for winning.” Added then-DHS girls head coach Dan Ariola: “Coach

I remember Kevin Nosek and them practicing and then coming over to help me with my practice. “They were special.” Notes: Jesuit has not lost to DHS now since the 2009-10 season, when the Blue Devils won, 59-56, at Kennedy High’s Delta Challenge. CJ Fabionar finished with 6 Devil points, Keaton Massey and Colin Walsh each scored 5 and both Bryce Barker and Collin Yee tallied 3. Devil forward Alan Favela missed Friday’s game (sick) as did Yassine Lamsiah (injury) and Theo Seng (injury). Seng is expected to return to the lineup in the next week or two, after missing the past four weeks nursing a nasty ankle sprain. — Reach Owen Yancher at oyancher@davisenterprise.net.

UC Irvine silences Pavilion Aggie men fall to 4-3 at home BY BOB DUNNING Enterprise staff writer There’s still a lot of basketball to be played, but the climb to the top of the Big West Conference standings is getting tougher and tougher for the UC Davis men. Trailing for all but the opening 1:13, the Aggies were overwhelmed by hot-shooting and leagueleading UC Irvine, 80-65, Thursday night before 1,002 fans at The Pavilion. “We have to make some changes,” said a disappointed and clearly irritated Aggie head coach Jim Les afterward. “We can’t be doing this. We let a team come onto our home floor and offered absolutely no resistance. They got into a real good offensive rhythm right

away, and they were able to do whatever they wanted to. It’s very disappointing.” The loss dropped the Aggies to 2-4 in Big West play and 8-14 overall, and worse yet, into a share of the league cellar with Cal Poly, UC Santa Barbara and Long Beach State. Defending champion Irvine is now 5-1 in league, 13-9 overall and alone in first place, a half game ahead of idle Hawaii, which is 4-1. The Aggies were coming off a heartbreaking 1-point loss at Hawaii last Saturday night and could ill-afford to drop a game on their home floor. “Once that ball starts rolling downhill, it’s hard to stop and we just had no answers,” Les added. “We had no fight and no resistance.” Irvine came out on fire and completely dominated the first 20 minutes of action. After Elijah Pepper hit a short jumper just 14 seconds into the game to give the Aggies their only

The UC Davis women’s basketball team issued a strong statement this week. In overpowering visiting CSUN on Wednesday, 61-39, at The Pavilion, the word from the Aggies is, “Big West, beware!” Unofficially billed as The Clash of the Defensive Titans, the Aggies and Matadors entered the game tied atop the conference standings. Four quarters later, the three-time defending leaguechampion Aggies were queens of the mountain. Entering the contest, UCD (10-9, 5-1) was holding BWC opponents to 52.2 points per game while CSUN (9-11, 4-2) was giving up just 56.8 ppg. The key for the Aggies was to shut down Matador scoring threats De’Jionae Calloway (15.2 ppg), Jordyn Jackson (9.8) and Deja Williams (9.7 ppg). “CC (Hall), Kayla (Konrad) and Sage (Stobbart) —

The majority of Aggies were also held below their scoring average, but the locals sank 40 percent of their tries (22 of 55) compared to only 25 percent for CSUN. “It’s all about being patient,” said Konrad, a UCD forward who had 9 points to go with her nine boards. “They were bringing a lot of pressure, but when we’re

Some games raise your blood pressure to unhealthy levels. This was one of them. Hoping to end Jesuit’s 10-game winning streak against the Blue Devils, members of the Davis High boys basketball team pulled out all the stops. They roared back from a double-digit deficit, traded leads with the Marauders 14 times and forced their first overtime period in over two years. But Big Red hit its shots when it mattered in extras, handing the Blue Crew its fourth loss in Delta League play, 81-75,

DHS grapplers win 2 Attention turns to individual meeting BY EVAN REAM Enterprise staff writer For the second straight year, the Davis High wrestling team finished with a winning record after defeating both Cosumnes Oaks 52-16 and Pleasant Grove 57-18 in the final meet of the year Tuesday. The pair of victories at Franklin High took the Devils to 4-2 on the season, good for a thirdplace finish — but not quite enough to qualify for team for this weekend’s Delta League festivities. Davis needed a top-two finish to advance and now gets Friday and Saturday off before the postseason begins for individuals. “I was honestly a little nervous going into (Tuesday),” reports DHS head coach Johnny

Rosendale. “It would have been my pride suffering if we didn’t get third, but the kids wrestled very, very well. “Our new wrestlers, our underclassmen, showed up and performed, and our juniors and our experienced wrestlers also showed up, and that’s a recipe for good success.” While just four matches were contested against Pleasant Grove due to several injuries on both sides, the Devils went 2-2 in those contests. The real action came against Cosumnes Oaks where DHS won six of its nine matches, in the process accruing three pins. Possibly the standout of the day was junior Ethan Rosendale, who won both of his matches with first-round pins. “I’m really proud of the dedication our team has put into this sport, watching the small improvements lead to wins, and watching the fight in my teammates show in the way they move,” Ethan Rosendale said. “My favorite part
