Might as well jump SACOG finalizes agreement to bring Jump bikes back to town

BY OWEN YANCHER Enterprise staff writer Davisites favorite bright red bicycles may soon be returning to the city’s streets.

Following last Friday’s finalization of a short-term agreement between the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) and micro mobility firm, Lime, the rentable bikes

should be coming “back to Davis very soon,” according to Vice Mayor Lucas Frerichs, who also serves as SACOG’s chairman and on the Regional Bike Share Policy Steering Committee.

Several months back, due to COVID-19 safety concerns, Jump bikes were removed from Davis by then-parent company

Uber. Shortly thereafter, Uber folded its Jump e-bike and scooter venture into San Francisco-based Lime’s operations as part of an $85 million investment.

The bike-share program had been operating in town since May 2018, when the City Council originally approved an ordinance authorizing bike sharing and laid out rules and regulations for such operations.

However, back in October, the city hit pause on a Jump pilot program when concerns

were raised by both members of the community and Uber about bike parking rules and a proposed increase in fees.

At that time, the one-year pilot program would have: ■ Allowed Jump bikes to be parked on the street perpendicular to the curb anywhere vehicle parking is permitted except downtown where they must be parked at a bike rack; ■ Exempted Jump bikes from time restrictions and

Davis native’s book ponders work, race, equity

BY BRUCE GALLAUDET Enterprise staff writer Alexandra Chang is a 2006 Davis High graduate whose interest in writing came almost accidentally while, as a senior at Cal, she worked as a manuscript reader for a San Francisco literary agent.

Chang said she was a voracious reader growing up, but didn’t have writing experience at The Hub or DHS yearbook.

But now, given the reception of her critically acclaimed novel, “Days of Distraction,” the 31-year-old former Village Homes resident has discovered her calling.

“I am a full-time writer,” Chang explained. “It’s kind of hard to say because I think ‘Like how is this possible that I am a full-time fiction

VOL. 123 NO. 107

writer right now?’ ” The answer? It’s the impact of “Days …” that has made her such.

Chang’s book, guided in print by fictional narrator Alexandra, doesn’t venture far from the writer’s own story. She talks about racism, wage disparity and workplace “othering.”

Her Asian and Asian-American characters deal with permanent and fleeting loss.

It is a compilation of short stories that weaves Chang’s mostly made-up people through the toughest of times.

Alexandra tells us how her psyche got lost in the shuffle and how today’s society has somehow pushed to the background what continue to be very important social issues; issues that need fixing.

On the evening of Aug. 18 and into the morning of Aug. 19, fires burning in Napa County changed direction and began heading into western Yolo County.

Now known as the LNU Lightning Complex fires, they prompted evacuation orders to go out to multiple zones in the county, including those in the vicinity of the city of Winters on Aug. 19.

The problem: Residents in those areas who expected to receive an emergency alert via a phone call were out of luck. Text and email alerts went through, but none of the voice phone alerts sent out by the county’s emergency alert system did.

“One hundred percent of the voice communication tactics — the audible phone calls that leave you a message on your cell phone or home phone — did not go through,” Dana Carey, manager of Yolo County’s Office of Emergency Services, told the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday.

“They did not reach their end destinations.”

Turns out they were identified as robocalls and blocked.

Briefly Child abduction attempt reported Davis police officers responded this week to a call involving a suspect in a white van who allegedly attempted to lure a 3-year-old child into the car. The child’s father witnessed the incident at about 11 a.m.

Monday.

The father said his son was walking about 20 feet behind him along Spafford Street in East Davis when a van pulled up near his son. The side cargo door was open and a person inside the van attempted to wave the child over to the vehicle. The father ran toward his son and the van left the area.

Police described the van as a white Ford with no side windows, the occupant believed to be a white male.

Anyone with information should call 530747-5400.

For the record On Tuesday, Sept. 1, The Enterprise posted on its website a letter to the editor that made unsubstantiated accusation of wrongdoing against an unnamed City Council candidate.

While we strive as much as possible to maintain the letters section as a forum for open debate, posting this letter constituted a failure to apply our usual standards of factchecking and fairness to any material that goes on our site. For that failure, we apologize to our readers.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2020

Memories are great, but bring proof E very now and then a newcomer to Davis — anyone who arrived here after Sept.

12, 1951 — will ask me what it was like growing up in such a small town.

Well, it was what it was. In fact, given that we moved here on my fifth birthday, Davis didn’t seem small to me at all. I mean, once I learned to ride a bicycle, it took me at least five minutes to get from one end of town to the other.

We had a grocery store, a meat market, an elementary school, a dime store, a drug store, a Vienna Bakery, a Foster’s Freeze, a doctor, a dentist and football teams at both the high school and the university to root for. Certainly seemed big enough to me.

We also had the largest swimming pool I had ever seen — attached to Hickey Gym — complete with a terrifying “tower” that to my five-year-old eyes appeared to be at least 100 feet tall.

At some point in your growingup years in this town, you had to summon the courage to actually leap from that tower and plunge feet first into the cold blue water below. Otherwise, even your closest friends would call you “chicken” and make clucking sounds when you declined to jump.

Berkeley’s University Farm to blossoming into a general campus all its own.

That was the year, according to the official campus timeline, that the College of Agriculture was established independent of Berkeley.

Once you solved the tower dilemma you could swim in the Hickey Pool to your heart’s content for a single dime on a 105-degree summer afternoon.

What more could a kid want?

When we moved here from Portland so dad could attend college, Davis had a population of 3,554 happy souls, over twice what it had in 1940.

After our family of mom and dad and five kids finally settled into our first rental home on Rice Lane, the population swelled to 3,561. Today it’s 20 times that size.

The only thing that hasn’t changed over all those years is the elevation of Davis. It was 52 feet above sea level the day we moved here and it’s still 52 feet above sea level today.

In 1951, with a grand total of 1,029 undergraduate students, UC Davis was just beginning the slow transition from being

O

ddly, at the same time the Dunning family moved to Davis, the poultry department also moved here. The connection between the two is unclear. Also unclear is whether the poultry people promised a chicken in every Davis pot.

Regardless, I do remember eating a whole bunch of chicken in those days.

The only trauma I can remember after we arrived came when we were celebrating my fifth birthday in Central Park because we hadn’t yet found a place to live.

The birthday party, however, was not traumatic. The trauma came when mom pointed across the street to the kids playing on the blacktop at Central School and said “That’s where you’ll be going to school tomorrow.”

My three older siblings knew all about school, but my younger sister and I had never been. In those days, preschool was pretty much thought of as a communist plot to steal young children from their

parents, so heading off to kindergarten was my first real separation from home and most definitely not something I relished.

Unfortunately, from that day forward, school was never among my strong points. I have the report cards to prove it.

In fact, long after I had finished my career in the Davis school system, I was invited back to the high school for one of those “Career Days” so I could tell the kids about the joys of typing for a living.

I was told to wear whatever I would normally wear when I was writing my column, so I showed up in my pajamas.

I was asked to speak to an English class taught by my former teacher Jane Norton — Mrs. Norton to me — and I told the students that this had been my worst subject and almost kept me from graduating.

Mrs. Norton waved her arms in protest and told the class firmly that “Bob was one of our better students.”

She hadn’t counted on me bringing my old report card that showed a fat “C-minus” in her class despite the fact I had “tried very hard to master the subject.”

I was never invited back.

Woodland Christian receives OK LNU wildfire is now to resume classroom instruction 81 percent contained

BY LAUREN KEENE

BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer Students in kindergarten through sixth grade can return to Woodland Christian School for in-person instruction after the school became the first in Yolo County granted a waiver by the state.

Six other private and charter schools in the county have submitted waiver applications as well.

Schools in counties with widespread COVID-19 activity (those in the purple Tier 1 like Yolo) were required to begin the school year with distance learning only.

However, K-6 schools within those counties could apply for a waiver to open for in-person instruction.

Approval of Woodland Christian’s waiver on Thursday allows the school’s students in grades K-6 to return to the classroom, though students in grades 7-12 must continue with remote classes.

Under the school’s reopening plan, which was approved by both the state and Yolo County’s health officer, the school will maintain small, stable cohorts of students with no mixing outside their classrooms, including at recess and lunch. Teachers and aides will be responsible for ensuring students remain with their cohort all day.

At morning drop-off, students’ temperatures will be checked by staff members who will also visually assess each child for wellness, according to the plan.

All staff members, as well as all students in grades 3 and up, will be required to wear face coverings in class and parents of K-2 students will be strongly encouraged to have their children wear face coverings as well, the plan states.

Meanwhile, outdoor hand washing stations have been installed in three locations

on campus “to ensure students are able to wash their hands on a regular basis before and after recess times (and) hand sanitizer stations have been installed in all classrooms.”

Within classrooms, the plan says, items have been removed to allow for as much space as possible between desks.

“In many cases, we can achieve (six feet) between desks,” the plan states. “Desks will be arranged facing forward rather than in face-to-face groupings. Students will be assigned to a specific desk (and) will wipe down their work area at the end of each day.

“As weather permits, doors and windows will be open to allow for ventilation and tents will installed outside in eight locations to allow of outside instruction.”

In the event a staff member or student is in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, that person will be required to stay home for 14 days.

If the school is notified that a student or staff member has tested positive and has been on campus with other individuals, Woodland Christian will notify the county health department and any staff members or students who may have been in close contact with the person who tested positive, according to the school’s plan.

Staff members or students who are considered a close contact will be required to quarantine. Whether to close a classroom, a section of the school or the entire school will be made in partnership with the Yolo County Health Department, the plan said.

See the school’s full reopening plan at https://www.woodlandchristian.org/ covid-19-response.html.

Davis police warn of ‘arrest warrant’ scam

BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer Davis police are warning the community about a current phone scam in which the caller “is using the names and ranks of current Davis Police Department officers to solicit funds in a fraudulent manner.”

At least three local residents reported receiving these calls on Tuesday, the first advising that an “aggressive” male caller, using the name and rank of an actual Davis officer, falsely told the victim that the department had issued a criminal warrant for their arrest, which could be avoided by paying $5,000.

In a second incident, a

woman reported that a person identifying themselves as a lieutenant said she owed $5,000 for failing to appear on a warrant, “and needed to stay on the line while she got money from her bank,” according to the Police Department’s online bulletin. The woman also was told she could pay the fine in gift cards.

That’s apparently what happened Tuesday evening, when a woman reported sending $7,000 worth of gift cards to different addresses after a “lieutenant” informed her she had a warrant out for her arrest, the online bulletin shows.

contact community members in an attempt to solicit or collect money over the telephone.

Police also advise residents to take precautions when communicating with strangers on the telephone or by email. Never provide private, personal or financial information, including credit card or bank account numbers.

Anyone who has received similar calls is asked to call the Davis Police Department at 530-747-5400.

Enterprise staff writer The LNU Lightning Complex Fire reached 81 percent containment Thursday, its acreage steady at just over 375,200, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection reported at 7 a.m. Thursday.

The number of structures destroyed or damaged in the incident’s multiple blazes increased to just over 1,700 as officials continued damage assessments in the fivecounty region, including Yolo, Solano, Napa, Lake and Sonoma counties.

Yolo County began the process of repopulating two rural areas ordered evacuated last week after the wildfire jumped Highway 16 and threatened residences there.

Zone 1, in the county’s northwestern corner, was moved Monday from a mandatory to advisory evacuation east of the fire’s edge and south of County Road 41, county officials announced on social media. Zone 2, which lies directly to the east, moved to an advisory evacuation east of

Highway 16 and east of Rumsey Canyon Road.

Zone 3, east of Zone 2, saw its advisory evacuation order fully lifted.

Officials had issued the evacuation orders Wednesday, Aug. 19, after the Hennessey Fire, part of the larger LNU Lightning Complex Fire, jumped the highway despite several days of favorable weather conditions that helped reign in the fire’s spread.

The blaze also continues to send smoke drifting into Yolo County and beyond, keeping local air quality levels moderate to unhealthy. Residents are advised to remain indoors with their windows closed to avoid exposure.

More than 2,700 fire personnel remain assigned to the fivecounty incident, including a team of 10 Israeli firefighters deployed throughout Northern California on Monday in response to a request from the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services. It marks the first time Israelis have been assigned to fight fires in the U.S.

F

or more than four decades, more than 1,500 communities across the nation have negotiated with cable companies to get Public, Educational, and Government access (PEG) programming on their cable systems. It’s not just programming — which can include everything from municipal meetings to talk shows or music performances — but a whole suite of community benefit services that collectively comprise what we call community media.

Here in Yolo County, for example, our nonprofit Davis Media Access contracts with the City of Davis and the Davis Joint Unified School District to manage the public and educational access channels, while the City manages its own government access channel. DMA also holds the license for and manages KDRT-LP, 95.7 FM. Through our three main projects, DMA helps document our shared history in the communities where we work, providing capacity building, transparency, media literacy, local content, youth media, and job readiness skills along the way.

Recently, a few organizations who study and

DAVIS MEDIA ACCESS advocate for PEG got curious about how community media centers like DMA were functioning during the pandemic. For those who are tempted to lump us in with “Wayne’s World” or “Between Two Ferns,” the answers may be surprising.

The Center for Media & Social Impact, in conjunction with the Alliance for Community Media and the National Association of Telecommunications Officers and Advisors, surveyed the field and found that during the pandemic, community media centers turned out to be critical communications resources.

Their tales of how they functioned during the pandemic conveyed the angst, the unknown, and the work, and coming through once again as communication hubs for their local communities. You can read the whole report at https:// bit.ly/2Z2k4Hv In addition to the survey, the study’s authors interviewed a handful of community media leaders across the nation, and I was honored to be asked.

The final report highlights DMA and KDRT in two different sections.

The first notes:

“Davis Media Access leveraged its reach with its low-power radio station KDRT-LP, 95.7 FM. DMA Director Autumn LabbeRenault recalled the creation of the ‘COVID-19 Community Report,’ which (to date) featured 50 people and produced 27 episodes. ‘I remember going home March 13 and thinking, how are we going to provide services and remain relevant? I thought, I’m just going to go KDRT … and start a show all about COVID. We needed to hear local voices, and having an LPFM was the easiest way to get out there in front of it.’ ”

T

he decision to launch the show was organic. I’m trained as a journalist, I’d done radio before, and importantly, I was willing to risk going in the building even when I wouldn’t let my staff and volunteers do so. I also remember thinking that I’d do the show for a month or so, just to make sure we were getting out local news and public health information about the pandemic. Nearly six months later, I’m still on the air Tuesdays at noon, and documenting local perspectives on the pandemic still seems as relevant and as vital.

The second reference details the audio yearbook

and short documentary we created at the request of school and parent leaders for the first Pick-up Graduation Celebration.

We were the first public access center in the nation to launch LPFM radio, but we’re not the only one. But the fact that cable TV anchors all our other work is important. For many, cable is still a primary source of information, especially for municipal meetings and the transparency that having them aired and streamed brings.

And beyond that, it’s what we’ve done to leverage the cable resources into a wide range of community programs and services that makes the difference, day in and day out.

These days, DMA has retooled and supported remote production training for many volunteers, and is working to be as responsive as we can be to the large number of other nonprofits coming to us for assistance with virtual event production. Find out more about us at http:// davismedia.org.

Set yourself up for emergency notifications

BY JACCI O’CONNOR AND JAY WOODS Special to The Enterprise

S

eptember is National Preparedness Month.

Do you know which Yolo County evacuation zone you live in? Are you set up to receive emergency notifications and alerts?

What would you take with you if you had to leave your home on short notice?

And what do these questions have to do with our smartphones? Read on.

Recently, with the threat of road closures and evacuations in Yolo County, we signed up to receive alerts on our smartphones. First, we confirmed which zone we live in — something everyone should be aware of — then, we signed up to receive alerts from the county website (www.yolo county.org).

When you locate your zone and sign up for notifications on the Yolo County website you can choose which types of information you wish to receive as well as which cities in Yolo County you’d like to receive notifications about.

We recommend that you also visit the excellent Ready.gov website, www. ready.gov. The website is a treasure trove of helpful information about how to be prepared for both natural and man-made disasters and emergencies, and how to make and practice a preparedness plan for a variety of situations.

We studied the Ready. gov website for information pertaining to the role of personal technology — specifically, our smartphones — in preparing for emergencies. Here are just a few of the recommendations in the “Get Tech Ready” section of the website:

Equipment ■ When a potentially dangerous situation is close at hand, keep your phone fully charged at all times.

■ Keep a phone charger, power strip and if possible a back-up power supply in your car.

TECH OVER 60 ■ Know how to change the settings on your phone to low power mode to conserve energy.

■ Almost all smartphones have a built-in flashlight and a magnifier feature. Become familiar with these features.

Smartphone apps ■ Download the free

FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) app to your phone and set it to receive notifications and text alerts, including local fire and smoke alerts.

■ The Red Cross Emergency! app has an “I’m Safe” button you can use to post information to your social media (e.g. Facebook, Twitter) accounts letting others know your status. Even if you don’t use social media, this app has useful information about all types of disaster preparedness, with various preparedness quizzes you can take and learn from.

■ Both the FEMA and Red Cross Emergency! apps can be downloaded for free from the app store (iPhone) or the Google Play store (Samsung).

Important documents Have (or have access to) these on your phone: ■ Use your phone’s camera to scan or photograph important documents such as insurance policies, medical and other official records. When possible obtain electronic versions of these documents to keep on your phone and in a cloud storage service.

■ Have digital copies of all your important photos and keep them backed up.

■ Keep your contacts updated on your phone and synced across all of your devices (phone, tablet, computer).

■ We also suggest keeping important passwords in your phone so that you can access your online accounts

if you away from home.

There are several ways to do this depending on your phone and your personal preferences. Of course, if you do keep passwords or any sensitive information on your phone be sure that the phone itself has security (passcode, touch ID or facial recognition) enabled.

Additional tips ■ The Ready.gov website recommends signing up for Direct Deposit (e.g. your paycheck, Social Security check or other funds you receive regularly) and setting up electronic banking.

■ We know many of our fellow seniors are not comfortable with banking online; however, we recommend you consider establishing online access to your bank and download the bank’s app. Even if you choose not to do routine banking transactions online, you will be able to get to your account no matter where you are.

Finally, we recommend that once you have made your emergency plan (including a list of the items you need to have on hand), put a copy of that plan in your phone — in your Notes app, Reminders app, or any text document — and keep a copy in the cloud. This way, if you are ever faced with the need to act quickly and you feel a bit of panic, you need only remember one thing: go to your phone, tap on your safety plan, and follow it step-by-step.

We hope you’ll visit the Yolo County Government and Ready.gov websites and take advantage of what they have to offer. If you need assistance with getting “tech ready,” ask a friend, family member, or trusted tech professional to help.

Stay safe and well.

“I don’t actually remember meeting him at Patwin — or even junior high — but I’m pretty sure I knew of him, considering how small Davis is,” Chang says with a chuckle.

But in high school, the relationship grew. After two years at UC San Diego, Chang transferred to Cal to be near Jorgensen and eventually the two married.

The pair moved to Ithaca, N.Y., so Jeff could pursue graduate work at Cornell. Chang, meanwhile, enrolled in a Syracuse University creative writing class.

She had been compiling stories, items that became vignettes in her book: “I had collected all these scenes, pieces of dialog, character sketches before I even thought of it as a novel,” Chang explained.

“The more I worked on it, the more I realized it was all connected through this time period of my life.”

CHP ramps up Labor Day patrols Special to The Enterprise Labor Day typically marks the end of the summer travel period, but 2020 has been anything but typical.

Although many Californians may forego the long weekend road trip this year for a staycation, the California Highway Patrol will still implement its Labor Day maximumenforcement period.

The CHP advises all drivers to take precautions that keep themselves safe behind the wheel and protect others, such as buckling up, avoiding distractions, adhering to a safe and legal speed, and never driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Last year during the Labor Day holiday weekend, 45 people were killed in crashes throughout California.

Nearly three-quarters of all the vehicle occupants killed in CHP jurisdiction were not wearing a seat belt. In addition, the CHP made more than 1,000 arrests for driving under the influence during the 78-hour enforcement effort in 2019.

“Getting behind the wheel of a vehicle while under the influence is extremely dangerous, not only to the person driving but to everyone on the road with them,” CHP Commissioner Warren Stanley said. To help keep California’s roadways safe and assist motorists this weekend, all available CHP officers will be on patrol for the MEP, which begins at 6:01 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 4, and continues through 11:59 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 7.

Over the past few years, the CHP increased its training efforts to detect impaired drivers. All CHP officers and sergeants have received additional training in the detection of impaired drivers.

So just how closely does her book — called “autofiction” by some — call on personal experience?

“I did draw a lot from own life,” Chang noted.

“That included my relationships, my jobs and my family … but at the same time, as I wrote, I took a lot of liberties to fictionalize and dramatize and to create new situations for the characters.”

Chang did the writing in fits and starts, taking four years to get the book from notes to publication.

“I set it aside for almost a year, then revised and restructured it a few times before I felt I had a draft ready for somebody else to read,” the author told The Enterprise. “Even after that process — getting an agent and having an editor — I went back through the book three or four times.”

When reading “Days …” one can feel her upbringing ring through.

Had the pandemic, racial injustice and the current presidential election been topics during the book’s evolution, Chang is pretty sure they would have been addressed, too.

“I’m sure (those) would have made their way emotionally into the book,

Chang cited police brutality, racial inequity, unfair treatment in the workplace and the value of people’s labor as “things that have been, and continue to be, problems that we’re still talking about and trying to figure out.”

The first line in the book reads: “People think I’m smaller than I am.” maybe in different ways,” she pointed out. “I started writing this book before the 2016 election, and racism in America was very much on my mind.

“Being an AsianAmerican woman, being a young woman of color in predominantly white spaces … that was something that had been on my mind my entire life, whether or not when I was young that it was very conscious.

“What’s been nice about hearing from readers about my book, (they say) that it leads to discussions about topics that are really relevant right now.”

By the time all 310 pages have been consumed, folks will know that Alexandra Chang has become larger than life in the literary world.

Notes: Published by Ecco Press, the book can be found at The Avid Reader in Davis or online at amazon.com and other outlets.

It retails for $26.99. …

Like the “Days of Distraction” narrator, Chang has a younger brother and sister. Her father lived in China, and both parents, although not together, still live in Davis.

City staff would monitor the expansion and the city could require a reduction in bikes if the increase causes too many problems.

■ Assessed an annual fee of $38,000 to any bike-share company permitted in Davis to pay for city costs associated with parking management and relocation.

Jump is set to relaunch in Woodland and West

Sacramento in the coming days, with its Davis operations set to follow more slowly, as city officials weigh coronavirus-related concerns with UC Davis students returning to town.

“This system is an important part of our regional strategy to provide healthy alternatives to automobiles, to improve air quality, and to achieve our climate goals,” Frerichs said.

To ride, Jump bikes cost 20 cents per minute with a $1 activation fee.

However, those fees are set to increase at the end of September to 32 cents per minute. Riders can utilize the Lime app to locate and purchase bike time.

Jump aims to eventually have 1,000 bikes available to riders in Davis.

OBITUARIES Joe Hall

Nov. 11, 1938 — Aug. 27, 2020 Joe Hall passed away peacefully on Aug. 27 with his beloved wife Susan by his side. He valiantly battled bladder cancer, and ultimately succumbed to health complications that arose as a result of treatments.

Joe was born on Nov. 11, 1938, in Parma, Idaho, to Sarah and George Hall, who preceded him in death. He had three brothers who predeceased him, Ray, Grant and Wally. He leaves behind his sister, Cheryl (Mark) Johnson, who will miss him dearly.

Joe spent several years at the University of Oregon at the behest of a high school teacher who agreed to pay Joe’s tuition, knowing his family did not have the means.

Throughout his life, Joe remained a loyal Ducks fan. After moving to the Sacramento area, he ultimately graduated from Sacramento State University.

In 1961, he married Nancy Weaver and they had three children, Joe Hall, Dave Hall and Marjorie (Michael) Terry. Joe was always there to lend an ear and give sound advice, and he loved taking his kids to San Francisco on Black Friday to Christmas shop. He was known as Sawpa to his grandsons Matthew, Shawn, Dillon and Parker, and his great-grandchildren Addison and Jackson.

Joe served his country for eight years in the Marine reserves. He had a successful career working in the farm equipment business and he retired from Weaver Tractor in 1976. He then stayed home with his children and prepared to become a certified public accountant. Joe had a private CPA

practice in Davis for several years and then moved his practice to Napa and Dixon.

In 1989, he married Susan Wilkinson Vandermer. Together they made many happy memories traveling, RVing, playing golf and spending time with many dear friends. Joe was an amazing step-father to Susan’s three daughters, Elizabeth Lacey, Katie Geminder and Jenny (Richard) Bennett. His granddaughters Olivia, Lily, Lucy, Lena, Amelia and Audra cherished their Joe-Joe. Joe enjoyed barbecuing, woodworking, competing in chili cook-offs and walking his faithful companion, his poodle Blue.

His kindness, easy smile, quick wit, calm nature and ability to carve a turkey will be missed by all who loved him.

Joe was very proud of his decision to donate his body to the UC Davis Medical School. His hope was that this gesture would help to further medical science. In accordance with his wishes, there will not be a service, but his family invites you to visit and leave a message at the online memorial: www.forevermissed.com/joe-hall.

If you would like to honor Joe’s memory, the family requests donations be made to the Rotary Club of Dixon, PO Box 181, Dixon, CA 95620 — an organization for which he spent countless hours volunteering at the pumpkin patch, crab feeds, pancake breakfasts, dog shows or any other events where his skills and hard work may have been needed.

Edmund Bellinger Lewis, Sr. Jan. 8, 1927 — Aug. 4, 2020

Edmund Bellinger Lewis passed away in his home on August 4, 2020. He was 93 years old.

Ed was born in Birmingham, Ala., and raised in Chapel Hill, N.C. At age 16, he joined the effort in WW II as a radio operator in the Merchant Marine. There, he converted to the Catholic faith that would guide the rest of his life. He left the Merchant Marine at age 19 and joined the Trappist monastery in Berryville, Va. He was lead cantor in the monastery and had a beautiful singing voice.

Ed decided to leave the monastery 10 years later. Two days out of the monastery he met RoseMary Castelli in New York City. Two weeks after meeting her, he proposed marriage. He was fond of recounting, “I knew what I wanted in a woman, and Rosie was it.”

Seven years later, they had six children. They remained married for over 63 years.

Ed completed a master’s degree in physics from New York University. He worked at many jobs, including photographer, x-ray machine salesman and high school science teacher. His true love was teaching. His students loved him, and he would invite them to work his ham radio in the family basement in Brooklyn. He taught for over 35 years.

He was an avid bicyclist and used to commute to work at Midwood High School in Brooklyn by bike, rain or shine, at a time

when this was not common.

Together, he and Rose raised not only their own children, but also would take in young people who needed help. It always seemed like there was someone else living in the house while the children were growing up.

Never one to stop learning, after retirement from teaching, Ed got a job repairing automatic teller machines.

He and Rose ultimately retired to Vermont to be closer to family, where he taught Sunday school and volunteered to drive cancer patients to their appointments.

After RoseMary passed away, he moved to Davis to live with his daughter. He was 91 years old when he purchased a recumbent tricycle to commute to morning mass. He fit right into the culture in his new town of Davis.

He always loved Jesus and his faith was central to his life. He joins his wife in Heaven and is survived by six children: Christopher, Edmund Jr., Jonathan, Gregory, Maria and Andrew. He is also survived by his eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, as well as by his sister Catherine Hume.

There will be an outdoor memorial Mass at St. James Catholic Church in Davis at 10 a.m.

Tuesday, Sept. 8. His ashes will be interred at a later date, to rest beside his wife in Brattleboro, Vt. Those who wish to sign a guestbook online may do so at www.smith-funerals.com.

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2020 A5

Book project unites girl, grandmother Pets of the week Enterprise staff During the emotional difficulty of social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic, a girl and her grandmother found a way to unite through a shared project.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has been particularly difficult for children, many of whom have been isolated from their classmates, from friends and from extended family members,” the grandmother Susan Curry noted.

“I have missed seeing my granddaughter since the onset of the pandemic, and she has missed me,” Curry noted.

Both live in Davis, in different neighborhoods and remained apart for their mutual safety for many months. But they found a way to work together on a project while keeping their distance — and the result is something that likely will bring comfort and joy to other isolated children.

Several years ago, Isla Bulman had asked her grandmother to write a story for her, but they never found the time to discuss the plot or the characters.

Curry is a licensed marriage and family therapist, and even before the pandemic struck, she had begun phasing into retirement.

“After shelter-in-place orders went into effect in March and contact between us was limited to video calls, we decided to take advantage of the opportunity to collaborate,” Curry said. She noted that Isla, 11, conceived a story concept “with surprising specificity.”

Isla said it should be about a farming family composed of four children ranging in age from 18 months to 15 years old. “Isla had

Briefly Homelessness update on KDRT Ryan Collins and Paul Doroshov, homeless outreach services coordinator and deputy police chief for the city of Davis respectively, first appeared on “Davisville” a year ago to talk about homelessness in Davis. They return to the publicaffairs program this week to talk about developments since last summer, including the Respite Center that opened on L Street in February, and the impact of the pandemic.

“Davisville,” hosted

by Bill Buchanan, is broadcast on KDRTLP, 95.7 FM Mondays at 5:30 p.m., Wednesdays at 8:30 a.m., and Saturdays at 8:30 a.m.

The program with Collins and Doroshov began airing Monday, will be broadcast through Sept. 13, and is available anytime at https://kdrt.org/ davisville or on Apple podcasts.

Meeting looks at mental state Local therapist Dr. Gitane presents a twopart Zoom class on how to survive and thrive while managing these demanding times. “The Dos, the Don’t, and the Dares …” runs from 10 to 11:30 a.m. on Sept. 8 and 15.

“Are you experiencing survival fatigue?” a news release asks.

“Internet & Zoom burn out? Are you irritable, discouraged or simply numb? Is your own personal refinement “on hold” as you deal with daily demands and difficulties? The class will add perspective and offer practices to assist in refining the art of being and becoming your best you.”

The registration fee $10. Register at dccpres.org (click on “Integrated Spirituality”) or mail a check to DCC, 412 C Street, Davis CA 95616 in the memo write “Thriving in Place.”

chosen names for the children and their parents even before we started working together on plot details,” Curry noted.

Furthermore, Isla already had a storyline in mind. The protagonist would be an Australian shepherd dog named Sheila who could understand human language. A neighbor’s dog, who came to be named Rufus, would be troublesome.

“As we chatted regularly through video calls, both of us contributed ideas and the plot began to take shape. I wrote the narrative that she described and sent drafts in progress to Isla, whose critiques led to course corrections,” Curry said.

“She let me know in no uncertain terms that the 12-year-old girl in the story should not play with dolls.

A deer should be intertwined in the story, Isla decided — oh, and the

youngest child should become lost. Isla’s ideas helped breathe life into the tale.”

Together, they decided to call their finished book “A Dog’s Tale: A Furry Farm Fantasy.”

“While the story that was unfolding before us brought us joy, we derived the most pleasure from the creative process itself, and the opportunity it gave us to spend time together on it. At times it seemed we were sitting side by side rather than miles apart,” Curry said.

After several weeks, the story came to a satisfying end.

“Isla then produced charming illustrations depicting what she had envisioned in her mind. She derived a well-deserved sense of pride from publication of the book this summer,” Curry said.

It was formatted for publication through the Book Prep service of EditPros LLC, a Davis business that two years ago helped Curry publish her first book, the murder mystery “Truth, Fiction and Lies.”

“Preparing this book was a wonderfully enriching experience for both of us — something Isla will long remember — and I cherish our time together. I encourage other grandparents and parents to use shelter-in-place time to work on a writing project with a child. You’ll leave them with a pleasant memory associated with this otherwise gloomy era.”

“A Dog’s Tale: A Furry Farm Fantasy” is geared for readers 8 to 12 years old and the young at heart.

The 100-page paperback (suggested retail $8.99) is available at local bookstores as well as Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other online booksellers.

At Rotts of Friends Animal Rescue, you’ll find Never, a very friendly spayed female cattle dog.

She came to ROF after her owner passed away. Never is 8 years old and deaf but she acts much younger and her deafness doesn’t slow her down at all. Never is obedience-trained with hand signals. She’s housebroken, walks well on

leash and is very calm and gentle, and would do best in an adult-only home.

Molly is a friendly, 7-year-old spayed female Rottweiler mix. Molly loves people but doesn’t do well with cats. She loves to play in water, is housebroken, obedience-trained and walks well on leash.

She has always been well cared for but her family divorced so she’s looking for a new forever home.

She would do best in a family with older children or just adults.

The next Rotts of Friends’ adoption event is from 8 to 11 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 5, at 34505 County Road 29 in Woodland.

Come by 10 a.m., as it takes at least an hour to meet and adopt a dog; everyone who will be living with the dog should come out to meet it.

Bring proof of home ownership, such as a mortgage statement or property tax bill. If you rent, please bring proof that you are allowed to have a dog in your home, such as a pet clause in your lease or a note from your landlord.

Molly All dogs adopted from Rotts of Friends are healthy, microchipped, upto-date on their vaccines and come with free lifetime obedience training classes. For more information, visit facebook.com/ rottsoffriends.

ALERT: Warnings rejected as robocalls From Page A1 the state in 2019 to eliminate robocalls led in part to the failure.

For six years, up until last fall, the county used an emergency alert number, 999-999-9999, that was easily identifiable to residents as a mass notification message.

In 2019, after the robocall law was passed, the county purchased a new number — 833-422-5253 — that would not be identified by computer systems as a robocall number.

However, on Aug. 19, the system “reverted back to using our old caller ID number rather than the 833 number, so they were immediately scrubbed by companies as robocalls and were denied being delivered,” Carey said.

The county’s vendor has now gone through and reprogrammed the mass notification system, and a test will be conducted at 10 a.m. on Friday to ensure it’s working, Carey said.

Mass notifications will be sent to zones 58, 59 and 60 (all in the vicinity of Winters) “just so we can make sure the program is working,” said Carey.

She and County Administrator Patrick Blacklock also noted that the county doesn’t rely on electronic notifications alone.

“The emergency mass notification system we use here in Yolo County is a combination of many different systems,” Carey said. “We use social media, we use the county’s website… the sheriff goes out using tones on their vehicle, fire (personnel) go door to door.

“There is no 100-percent goingto-hit-everybody-all-the-time solution, which is why we encourage everybody to sign up for as many different communication pathways in that digital system as possible,” she said, “and also heed the warnings of anybody who comes to their

door. Listen for the law enforcement sirens. There’s a lot of different ways that we’re trying to get information out.”

Blacklock noted that “if anybody here has had their computer unexpectedly shut down when they’re working on it, you know that we cannot fully rely on an electronic system, so we’re going to continue to use our sheriff ’s office and rely upon them in a situation like this.”

Winters resident Kate Laddish is one of the individuals who never received an alert.

Laddish, who said she was two blocks from one evacuation zone and one mile from two others, watched in alarm in the early hours of Aug. 19 as the fires raged to the west of her apartment.

“I hadn’t gotten any alerts,” she said. “No Yolo County information was available to me until a Facebook post at 5 a.m. so I had to make my decisions based on scanner traffic and Facebook live videos by a fire photojournalist who included addresses.”

Laddish, vice chair of the county’s In-Home Supportive Services Advisory Board, noted that she also lives in an apartment building that is home to seniors and people with disabilities.

Speaking to the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, Laddish said, “a robust and effective alert system is a keystone of emergency preparedness and response.

“This is what connects emergency managers and all the rest of us. Our actions and our safety hinge on this working properly, and public trust in the system is crucial.”

Laddish was participating in Tuesday’s board meeting along with Davis resident Elaine Roberts Musser, both members of the disaster preparedness subcommittee within the county’s Commission on Aging and Adult Services.

That subcommittee was created

to devise recommendations for county supervisors for helping prepare residents for emergencies ranging from fires to floods to power shutoffs.

On Tuesday, they presented a slate of recommendations that the board adopted.

Laddish focused in particular on the role of emergency alerts, urging the county to issue more alerts, not less.

“People are less likely to panic when they go into any given emergency familiar with and confident in the alert system,” said Laddish.

“People with access and functional needs may require more time to prepare to evacuate and secure evacuation assistance, highlighting the need for increased and timely alerting.”

Additionally, she said, alerts should go out to the whole county, not just areas immediately impacted.

“This is especially true for incorporated areas adjacent to zones with evacuation warnings or orders,” Laddish said. “During the pandemic, it may be particularly important that people not evacuate into congregate settings unnecessarily.

GRANT: UCD looks to reach underserved communities From Page A1 the Clinical and Translational Science Center and the Center for Reducing Health Disparities.

“We have been successfully training community health workers for many years to help diverse populations improve their health, and now we’ll have an opportunity to take that training to the next level, to formally teach the essentials of research to community health workers,” said Sergio Aguilar-Gaxiola, director of the CRHD and also director of the community engagement program of the CTSC. According to the UC Davis Health news service, the community health workers — known in Spanish as promotoras de salud — who will benefit from the training are public health workers “who are trusted members of the community or have an unusually close understanding of the community they serve,” the news service said.

UC Davis Health will use the grant to train Spanishspeaking community health workers in research, including contact tracing, to slow the spread of COVID-19, Aguilar-Gaxiola said.

Latinos in California, many of whom are essential workers who don't have the option to work from home, have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19. They are infected at three times the rate of whites, according to the California Department of Public Health.

Latinos total 60% of COVID-19 cases in California

despite making up less than 40% of the population.

Nearly 80% of COVID-19 related deaths in Californians aged 35-49 are Latino. In comparison, whites represent less than 8% of COVID-19 related deaths in the same age group.

“This particular grant could not be more timely because of the dire need to have this workforce of promotoras or community health workers to potentially help with contact tracing, which is much needed in hard-to-reach populations,” Aguilar-Gaxiola said. “Promotoras are in the ideal position of using their cultural and linguistic skills to reach their communities and help slow the spread of the disease.”

According to UC Davis Health, the grant seeks to educate community health workers in research best practices, make competency-based training and other training tools accessible online to community health workers, and empower select community health workers to become training “champions” who will serve as mentors and facilitate trainings for their colleagues.

UC Davis Health also will work closely with partners that can assist in outreach and recruitment, including the Mexican Consulate in Sacramento, Health Education Council, Rio Vista CARE and other organizations, the UC Davis Health news service reported.

Downtown Tom resurfaces in kids’ book

BY BRUCE GALLAUDET Enterprise sports editor

H

e made the news in England and Japan.

He was known throughout Davis. Loved by some. Despised by others.

Regardless of how one felt, people knew Downtown Tom — a full-grown male turkey who roamed the otherwise urban byways of the city’s numbered and lettered streets — left an impression.

Now, with a twist of morality, comes a children’s book by Davis resident Jay Schwerin. The 14-page adventure is appropriately called “Downtown Tom.” “It’s meant as a children’s book, but I think it would appeal to more than kids,” said Schwerin, whose Made in Davis franchise has produced T-shirts, trading cards, magnets and a puzzle revolving around turkeys.

“I really liked Downtown Tom. He never chased me,” Schwerin told The Enterprise. “I thought it was just fun. You’d (start) to go into a shop and there he was, pecking at the ground, just minding his own business, most of the time.”

Ah, “most of the time” is the key to Schwerin’s recollection …

Shoppers, restaurant customers and some who worked downtown

felt differently about the robust gobbler.

Even Schwerin has a story about the grumpy side of ol’ Tom: “My kid was about 6 when Tom decided to chase him from Village Pizza down to F Street.”

Such a pest did Downtown Tom become that citizens complained to the City Council — who in 2017 eventually put a hit out on persnickety Thomas J. Turkey.

One night, sound asleep in his nearby perch, Downtown Tom was shot to death, ending his reign of terror.

Or was it terror? An outpouring of grief came from the citizenry: letters to the editor, online comments and signs of protest came from those who were sad to see their bird friend fly the bonds of

“Downton Tom” author Jay Schwerin says he was fond of Downtown Tom — since the notoriously aggressive turkey never chased him. its earthly coop.

“The people that called 911 on Tom, or got pinned to a Wells Fargo ATM, or had to swing their backpack at him before they got pecked may all have been happy to see him go,” Scherwin noted.

So knowing all this, it sounds like “Downtown Tom” isn’t necessarily children’s fodder.

Scherwin promises there is a moral to the story — and that the book’s artwork by Davis talent Eben Burgoon — are all in great fun.

Oh, and that moral?

“Energy can be used in a variety of ways,” the author explains. “And it’s best when it’s used for good.”

On Scherwin’s T-shirts, the turkey is used as a symbol of the Republic of Davis.

Vehicle versus turkey encounters continue to make the news as several rafters (yep, that’s

what a group of turkeys is called) of the Thanksgiving centerpieces roam near Pole Line Road and Eighth Streets and in West Davis.

As Schwerin said, some people love seeing the out-of-place birds and some Davisites still carry the

‘Memories of a New Future’ opens at The Barn Gallery Special to The Enterprise In a new exhibition exploring the meaning of art during a pandemic, YoloArts will debut “Memories of a New Future,” a multimedia exhibition featuring the artwork of Yolo County and regional artists, makers and thinkers.

The Barn Gallery’s exhibition includes sculpture, paintings, drawings, photography, prints, mixedmedia installations and digital media.

Artists are: multimedia, installation-based artist Lynn Beldner; sculptor Steve Briscoe; UC Davis design professor and painter Melissa Chandon; artist, writer and curator Chris Daubert; UCD design professor Glenda Drew; UCD cinema and digital media professor Jesse Drew; and contemporary artist Mel Smothers.

Artists Chandon and Smothers conceived the idea of the show prepandemic.

“Working on this show came about as a result of a conversation we had during the early part of the summer of 2019, after which it grew and developed into this amazing group exhibition,” Chandon said. “We are friends,

Next Virtual Open Mic set

colleagues and mid-career artists who show their work internationally and are active in our local and academic community.”

The exhibition is a conceptual show with unique interpretations of the theme.

“This show comes at an important time. Each of the artists, in very individual ways, examine the meaning of art in a world that has turned upsidedown in the wake of stayat-home orders, face masks and social distancing,” said Jance Purnell, YoloArts creative director.

“The show’s theme is grounded in the journey we are all undertaking these days: leaving behind a known world for a very uncertain future. The works of art, in many different media, provide both a map and a reflection of this shared voyage into the unknown.”

An augmented-reality workshop with Glenda Drew and Jesse Drew will begin at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 21, via Zoom and introduce popular tools for creating augmented reality with hands-on demonstrations of how to use Artivive.

Workshop registration is available at yoloarts.org.

‘The One and Only Ivan’ makes a noble hero Insightful family fantasy makes a good case for animal rights

‘The One and Only Ivan’ Starring: Sam Rockwell, Bryan Cranston, Angelina Jolie, Danny DeVito, Helen Mirren, Ariana Greenblatt, Ramon Rodriguez and Owain Arthur Rating: PG, for mild dramatic intensity

BY DERRICK BANG Enterprise film critic Break out the Kleenex; you’ll be snuffling before this gentle little fable concludes its first act.

This is not to say that “The One and Only Ivan,” debuting on Disney+, is an unrelenting tear-jerker; far from it. But by replicating the “gimmick” from Katherine Applegate’s Newbery Medal-winning 2012 children’s novel — in which the title character, a silverback gorilla, narrates his own story — scripter Mike White puts us squarely into this intelligent creature’s heart and soul.

I’ve not been a fan of the increasingly convincing CGI talking animals in recent Disney films — particularly when they burst into song — because their speaking ability destroys the otherwise astonishing accuracy with which such critters are created. But it works here, because it is essential that we understand what motivates this saga’s star: what he imagines and yearns for, and how he reacts to the environment, people and other animals in his orbit.

Right from the start, it’s easy to embrace the fact that we’re sharing Ivan’s thoughts … which was, of course, the point of Applegate’s book. Considerable credit also goes to Sam Rockwell, who voices Ivan so sensitively; and director Thea Sharrock, who plays us like a fiddle. Let us not forget that Sharrock helmed 2016’s “Me Before You,” which had folks sobbing in the aisles.

Needless to say, this film — as was the case with Applegate’s book — also is a quietly powerful statement in our ongoing reassessment of wild animals in captivity. Indeed, the fact that this story is set in a circus, of sorts, feels uncomfortable. But it’s a

Viewers have no trouble drawing the proper conclusions.

Events take place at the Exit 8 Big Top Shopping Mall and Video Arcade, which for years has boasted a “little top” circus. (Filming took place in Lakeland, Fla., although the script deliberately avoids specificity; this could be any indoor mall, in any city or state.) Ivan, the 400-pound star, is joined by Stella (voiced by Angelina Jolie), an aging African elephant, and a small assortment of other critters.

The tiny circus was founded years earlier by Mack (Bryan Cranston), as a means to accommodate and earn a living with Ivan, who was rescued as a baby but quickly outgrew his initial suburban home. The two have long shared a special relationship.

In the tradition of such stories, Ivan, Stella and the other animals converse avidly with each other, but never with humans. It’s a testament to both Cranston and CGI wizardry, that we recognize the Mack/Ivan bond via silent expressions,

forehead touches and other tiny — but powerful — shared gestures.

Times are tough: Once a thriving attraction, the circus has fallen out of favor, and dwindling attendance barely keeps the operation alive. This greatly distresses young Julia (Ariana Greenblatt), daughter of animal keeper George (Ramon Rodriguez); she’s a budding artist who loves to draw while sitting by Ivan’s cage. She impulsively gives him crayons and paper one day, which resurrects Ivan’s long-dormant interest in art (a detail eventually explained in the third act).

Capitalizing on Ivan’s artistic flair revives public interest in the circus, but it isn’t enough. Mack further hedges his bets by purchasing an adorable baby elephant named Ruby (Brooklynn Prince), who immediately endears herself to the others, and is taken under Stella’s wing (er … trunk).

But Ruby’s presence upsets the environmental dynamic that the others have been forced to embrace. Stella, old enough to remember her life in the wild, chafes at the notion that Ruby might grow up never knowing what it

means to be free. The veteran elephant extracts a promise from Ivan: that he’ll do whatever he can, to grant Ruby a happier, entirely different life in the wild.

A tall order, even for a creature as intelligent and sensitive as Ivan.

Aside from Stella, Ivan’s best critter friend is Bob (Danny DeVito), a scrappy stray dog who calls the mall his home and spends each night sleeping on Ivan’s chest. Bob is the bane of Mack’s life, who — despite best efforts — can’t get rid of the mutt. Good thing, too, because DeVito’s droll voice work gives Bob a delightful personality, and provides an ongoing — and quite welcome — bit of snark.

Bob’s scruffy, independent appearance and spirit make him the “Tramp,” contrasting Snickers (Helen Mirren), a posh, impeccably groomed white poodle — the “Lady” — who rides atop Stella’s back during the show, and sleeps comfortably on a fancy pillow in Mack’s office.

Ivan, Stella, Bob, Ruby and Snickers were the sole critters in Applegate’s book, but — in true Disney fashion — this film adaptation

adds several more “colorful” characters. (They simply can’t help themselves.)

Ergo, we also have Frankie (voiced by scripter White), a neurotic seal forever fretting about balancing a ball on his nose; Henrietta (Chaka Khan), an exotic, quirky chicken with a flair for no-nonsense candor; Thelma (Phillipa Soo), an observant macaw; and Murphy (Ron Funches), a white rabbit who (sigh) drives a little red fire truck and squirts circus patrons with a hose.

None adds anything of consequence to the story; they serve mostly as comic relief, and to fill time between key plot developments. We should be grateful that Sharrock and White integrate them reasonably well, and resist overdoing their slapstick antics.

Cranston, whose Mack is visibly more benevolent than his book counterpart, brings just the right amount of human pathos to this saga; he personifies Stella’s insistence that “not all humans are bad.”

Cranston’s frequently furrowed brow — and occasionally aggrieved tone — convey warring emotions: an entrepreneur’s

determination to keep his show alive, versus a reluctant awareness that All Things Must Pass.

Greenblatt’s Julia is adorable: sweet, instinctively sensitive, and just precocious enough, without becoming cloying (in the manner of far too many young Disney heroines).

Rodriguez is similarly strong as her compassionate father (although a plot point that references his ailing wife — Julia’s mother — definitely is an impending crisis too many).

The persuasive degree to which Cranston and all the other human stars interact with these critters — who obviously weren’t on the stage, in real life — is astonishing.

Occasional hiccups notwithstanding, Sharrock and White build their film to a sweet and satisfying conclusion … at which point a montage of text and photos briefly details the saga of the actual Ivan — inspiration for Applegate’s book — who (yes, really) spent 27 years of his life in a 14-by-14-foot concrete enclosure at the B&I shopping center in Tacoma, Wash.

Which, if you’ve resisted succumbing to sobs thus far, should finish the job.

Oh, and don’t depart too quickly; a lengthy bonus scene, midway through the end credits, adds a nice final touch.

Helping others in trying times Irresponsible T behavior by movie studios

BY DERRICK BANG Special to The Enterprise

T

hanks to the come-hell-or-high-water recklessness of Warner Bros. and writer/director Christopher Nolan, his new film “Tenet” — the summer’s most hotly anticipated sci-fi blockbuster, postponed from its original July 17 release date — opens today in active movie theaters across the country.

That doesn’t include us here in Davis or Sacramento; the closest venue is in El Dorado Hills.

Although a few new releases have cautiously popped up at Sacramento’s West Wind Drive-In — notably “Words on Bathroom Walls” (worth your time) and “Unhinged” (definitely not) — Nolan refuses to allow that option. He insists on the traditional biggest-possible-indoorscreen experience.

To a degree, I sympathize. I’ve long championed the big-screen dynamic, because nothing beats the rush of watching a great film in a theater packed with enthusiastic viewers.

But now? In our COVID environment?

No, no, a thousand times no.

On top of which: Even if “Tenet” were opening in a (scaled-back) conventional manner, in our market, you still wouldn’t find a review by me in this newspaper.

Because the Warner Bros/Nolan decree extends to film critics, who were not offered the option of watching at-home screeners for review purposes, as has been the case with “Mulan” and several other recent offerings.

Numerous critics — from media outlets large and small — therefore have boycotted reviewing “Tenet.” As stated bluntly by the Boston Globe’s Ty Burr, in a thorough and thoughtfully composed Aug. 27 editorial, we aren’t willing to risk dying for something as inconsequential as a film review.

P

lease don’t misunderstand me: I grieve for the hardship faced by brickand-mortar movie theaters, whether large chains or Mom ‘n’ Pop independents.

My first “real” job, post-UC Davis graduation, was as assistant manager at our own Varsity Theatre. Goodness, my wife and I met there; she was a cashier at the time.

Movie theaters are in my blood, just as much as what they project on their screens.

That said, I’m not at all satisfied by the “safety precautions” taken by Regal, AMC and other big chains: distanced seating, sanitized between shows; fancy air-filtration systems (in houses that can afford them); staggered show times; and mask requirements. The latter is a total joke, because patrons aren’t required to keep the masks on once they’re seated: the better to consume popcorn, candy and soda, donchaknow (which is where movie theaters make their money … but that hardly justifies such an exemption).

Even if patrons were required to “mask up” at all times — given a total absence of concessions — I’d not trust compliance. Far too many people are careless, oblivious or arrogantly rebellious when it comes to masks.

Can you picture some poor teenage staffer wandering the aisles with a flashlight, attempting to handle “mask patrol”? Please.

Potential exposure is a function of three elements: proximity, time and activity.

Indoor movie theaters flunk all three: We’re too close to too many people — in the lobby, at the concession counter, in the restrooms, let alone seating — for far too long a period of time, under conditions that encourage unsafe activity … by which I mean laughing, cheering, shouting and otherwise having a good verbal time. As is customary.

Class, can we say “aerosol transmission”?

It comes down to this: To my deep regret, you won’t be reading reviews of some upcoming big-ticket movies in this newspaper. I’m simply not willing to risk my health. More to the point, I’m not willing to risk your health, by encouraging you to engage in the blatantly hazardous activity of spending too much time in a crowded, enclosed building.

God knows we all want to get out of the house, socialize more, resume our normal lives.

But not yet.

he year 2020 continues to test us in historic ways. Over the past months, we’ve endured the COVID-19 pandemic, waves of social unrest and, now, a rash of California wildfires.

The LNU Lightning Complex Fire alone has burned more than 340,000 acres, led to more than 45,000 evacuations, and clouded our air with unhealthy levels of smoke. LeShelle and I send our thoughts to all those who have been affected by these devastating fires.

All of this has been a tremendous amount to endure.

But one thing I know about our community is this: When the going gets tough, we never fail to open our hearts and help others. We are a tenacious bunch in Davis, and we’ll need this resiliency and willingness to work together even more in the days ahead.

I’ve seen this directly at UC Davis. I’m proud of how our university raced to help as the wildfires started to burn, especially our UC Davis Fire Department. By late August, they’d logged hundreds of hours fighting fires around

the state, including the LNU Lightning Complex and others.

Our world-leading School of Veterinary Medicine also jumped into action, often heading to areas most impacted by the fires. They’ve treated more than 1,000 animals so far, including cats, horses and cattle that needed help with burns and other injuries.

The fires also have taken a personal toll on our campus community. We provided emergency housing for faculty, staff and registered students and their families who were evacuated or lost their homes.

It’s heartening to see how people around the city of Davis are determined to help as well. Crews from the city of Davis Fire Department also joined firefighting efforts around the state, sometimes leaving as early as 4 a.m. to

head to the front lines.

As residents of Vacaville were given evacuation orders, the owners of downtown Davis’ University of Beer ramped up with a donation drive. They collected water and food, along with Davis Downtown canopies, which were delivered in Vacaville to assist with relief efforts.

At D-Q University in west Davis, members of its new board of directors launched their own donation drive.

They drove to a rest stop in Vallejo to provide water and snacks to evacuees who were sleeping in their cars. They headed about 50 miles north of Davis to deliver even more donations they’d collected.

B

ack on campus, we’re staying tenacious and looking forward to the first day of fall quarter on Sept. 28. We’ve continued to work closely with public health officials to make sure we’re as safe as possible.

We’ve sought broad input from across campus, including our healthcare and academic experts, to help plan for fall instruction and operations.

I’m encouraged by the regular and open dialogue

between UC Davis and civic leaders from around the region.

Most recently, I coauthored a statement with Davis Mayor Gloria Partida to address concerns about housing for students and lease agreements during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Though many of these issues have yet to be resolved, it shows how city leaders and UC Davis are united on how we’re trying to get support for our students and residents.

Who knows what else 2020 will throw at us. But no matter what’s in store, we all need teamwork more than ever before. Our world is more connected than ever, and it will take all of us working together to solve problems.

In the meantime, I hope everyone is staying healthy and safe. Please continue to mask up and practice social distancing — but more than anything, keep looking out for one another in these times of need. Together, we can rely on our common strength.

— Gary May is chancellor of UC Davis; his column is published monthly.

LETTERS Two for school board The Davis Joint Unified School District has the mission to “equip each student with the knowledge, skills, character and well-being to thrive and contribute to an evolving and increasingly connected world.”

Our public school system and that promise will soon be challenged like never before as we begin a new school year in the midst of a continued COVID-19 pandemic and a related severe budget shortfall. The students, staff and broader community need a Board of Trustees with the right vision, experience and commitment.

That’s why, in addition to endorsing Lea Darrah in our Trustee Area 2, I also urge neighbors in Trustee Area 5 to vote for Cecilia Escamilla-Greenwald. Cecilia has been a dedicated parent, volunteer and advocate for children and education, including serving on the committee that developed the District’s current strategic plan. As a member of Davis city advisory and oversight commissions, Cecilia has also built coalitions and advanced policies to improve transparency, equity and public health and safety in our community.

Cecilia Escamilla-Greenwald and Lea Darrah will not only best represent their Trustee Areas, but will also work to uphold the District’s promise to all our children.

Time for a fresh, new voice?

Dillon Horton made a socially distant visit to our doorstep one very hot evening in August. Even with the five of us dripping in sweat, my family was blown away. If you haven’t met him yet, you should. His thinking cuts through complexity with precision and he communicates with knowledge, reason, directness and a hugely reassuring, accessible calm.

He’s smart, honest, wise, funny, articulate, black and young, and talking with him is like breathing clean air.

An L.A. native, raised by a single mother (who’s now deceased) he came to study political science at UCD and after graduation made Davis his home.

We need this representation in Davis.

We need this fresh, new voice. Yes, we fell head-over-heels after meeting him and learning about his politics, which is how I imagine those meeting Obama felt when he was a young, community activist knocking on their door. He’s that good, that important.

Help out landlords, too I read that Davis has a moratorium on evictions. Good. We need to also look at giving the property owners a moratorium on paying their city bill, mortgage payments and property tax if their tenants are not paying their rent due to COVID-19.

Seems only fair. Most landlords depend on their rent income to pay those bills.

Learn to use phone banking If you’ve ever knocked on doors for your favorite candidate, you know that this year is like no other: COVID-19 has taken away the chance to share your enthusiasm with your neighbors. But don’t despair — candidates and supporters alike are happy to find out that phone banking, a fancy phrase for calling your neighbors, works pretty darn well in making that much needed personal contact.

For the last six months, I have been part of the team organizing phone banks for two local political action organizations, Sister District CA-3 and Indivisible Yolo. Since the pandemic forced us to close down our volunteer center — and all the activities we’d plan to host there this election season — we have taken our work online! We host five phone banking sessions a week, all via Zoom.

None of us expected this, but we’ve come to see the value in online voter calls. And it’s certainly been fun! Turns out, phone banking in this time of the coronavirus, is the most effective way to establish person-to-person contact with voters. This contact has proven essential to turning voters out for critical elections. Like this one.

On Wednesday night at 7 p.m., we are hosting a presentation on phone banking.

Colin Walsh for Council I am writing this letter to encourage Davis District 2 voters to vote for Colin Walsh for City Council.

Colin is a longtime Davisite with a deep concern for the quality of life we have in Davis. He grew up in Davis, attended Davis schools from West Davis Elementary through UCD and now his children attend Davis schools. He has impressed me over and over again with his knowledge of local issues and current events. He takes time to study the details, analyzes all aspects and encourages others to join in the civic process.

I have been disappointed with our current city council and decisions that have been made with little or no time to allow the public to learn of the plans or weigh in on decisions. Colin recognizes the importance of transparency in governing and values input from all.

Colin has become extremely knowledgeable about development projects including the DISC and has asked probing questions of our council and identified areas that require further review or clarification. Colin is an advocate for the environment, the preservation of open space and has a deep conviction about the importance of farmland. You can learn about Colin through his walsh4davis.com website, I strongly recommend a vote for Colin for City Council.
