West Sac releases shooting footage

State audit finds dozens of ‘improper’ admissions across UC

BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer

BY CALEB HAMPTON

The deadly encounter began with a casual greeting, issued by a West Sacramento police officer as he walked toward his vehicle on a darkened city street.

“Hey, how’s it going sir?

Can I help you?” the unidentified officer said to the elderly man who had parked behind the patrol car at Merkley and Poplar avenues, according to video released this week by the West Sacramento Police Department.

The officer got no response from the other man, later identified as 88-year-old Robert Coleman, who gripped a revolver in his right hand as he exited his car.

“Oh sh—!” the officer exclaims before three shots ring out. “Shots fired! Shots fired! Put down the gun!

Put it down!”

A standoff ensued, with more than a dozen additional shots fired over the next two minutes as several officers repeatedly order Coleman to release the gun and “show us your hands now!”

Alive but wounded, Coleman apparently fails to comply, leading one officer to warn his colleagues that

provided the county health officer agrees.

Yolo County's health department gave the OK on Tuesday afternoon, provided state and local guidance is followed.

“The reopening of nail salons is consistent with ensuring a safe environment for business patrons, owners and employees,” said Supervisor Gary Sandy, chair of the Yolo County Board of Supervisors.

Yolo County is one of 25 counties statewide that remain in the purple Tier 1, where numerous activities and businesses remain restricted or closed altogether.

Over the past several years, the University of California failed to prevent “inappropriate factors” from influencing dozens of admissions decisions, according to a state audit released Tuesday.

From 2013-14 through 2018-19, the years the audit investigated, at least 64 applicants were admitted to four UC campuses based on criteria such as family donations and relationships to campus staff. The campuses that admitted students based on improper criteria were UCLA, UC Berkeley, UC San Diego and UC Santa Barbara.

At least half of the 64 admitted students had annual family incomes of $150,000 or more and the majority were white, the audit report said. Twentytwo of the applicants were falsely designated by UC athletic staff and coaches as qualified athletes despite not having demonstrated collegiate-level athletic talent.

More than half of the improper admissions offers were made by UC Berkeley.

County closer to red tier Nail salons cleared to reopen

BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer Yolo County remained in the state’s purple tier for widespread risk of COVID-19 spread on Tuesday, but also received some good news: The county’s test positivity rate and daily new case rate both fell well within the ranges required to move to the less restrictive red tier. The county must maintain those metrics for another week in order to make that move.

If the county’s test positivity rate

remains below 8 percent (it is currently 4.2 percent) and its adjusted daily new case rate remains below 7 per 100,000 residents (it stood at 4.7 on Tuesday), the state would move the county to the red tier as early as next Tuesday.

Another bit of good news for some local business owners on Tuesday: Nail salons will be allowed to reopen immediately for indoor services.

Nail salons had been restricted to outdoor services only in counties in the purple tier, but Dr. Mark Ghaly, the state’s secretary of health and human services, said Tuesday those salons, as well as physician-ordered electrolysis, will be able to open everywhere, regardless of tier,

Gorman seeks 5th District council seat

BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer Connor Gorman has been a familiar face and voice at Davis City Council meetings for the last couple of years, speaking in particular about housing, social justice and police reform.

A graduate student in the UC Davis physics department, Gorman became involved in student-worker organizing after arriving in Davis (from upstate New York) in 2013, and that later led to his interest in municipal politics.

“My first year or so was mostly academic pursuits,” he said, “especially classwork. But even in my first year, I started getting involved in political organizing because the UC Davis student-workers union was in the middle of a contract strike.

Gorman joined the strike to support student-worker demands as well as patient care and service worker demands.

“That’s how I got started with political organizing in Davis, with my involvement in labor organizing,” he said.

That involvement continued and included becoming an officer in UAW 2865.

By 2015, Gorman said, he was becoming more involved in efforts

outside of campus, including working with local activists who convinced the city of Davis to move its banking away from Wells Fargo Bank out of opposition to the Dakota Access Pipeline.

“That’s really why I started attending City Council meetings, public comment around that,” he said. “But at that point, I started getting more interested in more conventional city business … There was also a push to create the Police Accountability Commission after the Picnic Day 5 incident, so I also started attending City Council meetings around that to talk about that specifically.

“But I would generally stay for the whole meeting and by doing so, I got interested in other topics. I definitely started thinking about what my views were on different issues, especially around housing and policing … That prompted me to think about how I would want to do things.

“When the city switched to district elections, that’s when I really decided that I should run for council as the next way to make change on a very local level,” he said.

Gorman is one of four candidates seeking the 5th District council seat on November's ballot, one that would represent South Davis.

As he has spoken with South Davis residents over the course of this campaign, Gorman has heard a number

Running for South Davis He supports creatslot ing more bicycling infrastructure, as that project intended, but said, “the original process needed more community outreach … finding out what the problems were and what (residents wanted). The changes themselves caused unexpected issues.”

Housing, particularly affordable housing and renters’ issues, also remain a concern, Gorman said.

“I think Davis needs more housing but I think it should be more affordable, sustainable and also in line with community and neighborhood needs, so if an apartment complex is being proposed in or adjacent to a singlefamily neighborhood, you need to think about concerns of the neighbors,” said Gorman.

Additionally, “recent projects have not incorporated as much affordability as I would have liked,” said Gorman. “I’m really interested in pushing developers to include more affordability.”

Teen charged with Yolo County attempted murder

BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer A 17-year-old boy is fighting for his life after suffering “significant” head and body injuries allegedly inflicted by a teenage assailant, Yolo County sheriff 's officials said.

The suspect, Sacramento resident Oleg Lavrenko, 18, is in Yolo County Jail custody on charges of attempted murder, kidnapping, mayhem, assault with a deadly weapon and battery with serious bodily injury, according to sheriff ’s Lt. Matt Davis.

A fisherman looking to cast his line off County Road 22 on the west end of the Yolo Bypass found the victim’s body near a canal shortly before 8 a.m. Sunday. He was transported to an area hospital for treatment of his injuries, which Davis said appeared to have been inflicted with an unspecified weapon.

It remains unclear where the assault occurred or how long the victim had been lying in the remote area before he was found.

A subsequent investigation led to Lavrenko’s arrest later that day at his Sacramento home. Davis said detectives are still investigating the motive for the assault and relationship between the teens, but confirmed they are not related.

Lavrenko, who is being held without bail, is scheduled to be arraigned at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday in Yolo Superior Court.

A2 THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE

Briefly Man accused of attempted rape Davis police arrested a 26-year-old man Monday morning after he allegedly tried to sexually assault a female neighbor inside her Sycamore Lane apartment.

According to a Davis Police Department news release, officers were summoned at about 9:45 a.m. to investigate the reported attack, which occurred at the apartment complex in the 700 block of Sycamore Lane.

“The female victim reported that a male neighbor who was visiting her apartment began to undress, voiced his intent to have sex, and, using physical force, restrained her,” the news release said.

“When the victim screamed for help, two roommates responded and were able to push the suspect out of the apartment.”

The suspect, identified as Davis resident Jeanpierre Millard Papouloute, fled the scene on foot, but officers later tracked him down in the area of West Eighth Street and Parkside Drive. He was booked into the Yolo County Jail on felony charges of assault with intent to commit a sex crime, burglary and false imprisonment, police said.

The investigation of this incident is ongoing, and anyone with information is asked to contact the Davis Police Department at 530747-5400.

The answer is blowing with the leaves

P

resident Trump warned those of us living in a deep blue city that this was com-

ing.

“First they’ll come for your guns and then they’ll come for your leaf blowers,” the president told me during one of our regular latenight phone conversations.

Indeed, that friendly South Davis service station affectionately known as Gas-n-Guns no longer sells lethal weapons. And now the second part of the president’s warning is about to come true if members of the Davis City Council do as I expect by one day banning our decibel-destroying leaf blowers.

I don’t know about you, but the last time I checked there were no guns or leaf blowers in our humble East Davis garage. Truth be told, we never did have any weapons more deadly than a child’s slingshot and a bow-and-arrow set from The Dollar Tree.

The proposed leaf blower ban is part of what the president says is a devious plot to destroy the suburbs by covering our neighborhoods with leaves and twigs and wilted dandelions, not to mention anarchists, arsonists, socialists and residents of low-cost housing.

According to Anne TernusBellamy’s front-page piece in this very newspaper, “Davis City Council members directed city staff to work with city commissioners and the community at large to craft a revised leaf blower ordinance that would likely include a ban on gaspowered blowers.”

Before they do that, however, council members, city staff, city commissioners and members of the community at large should try to make a living in this town by successfully maintaining a number of Davis yards without the use of a leaf blower.

I think we all might learn something.

In the many years I have lived in Davis I have known a number of people who pay the rent and put food on the table by mowing

Former cop charged with embezzlement

BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer A former Davis police officer is due to appear as a defendant next month in Yolo Superior Court, where he’s accused of misappropriating public funds.

Trevor Anthony Edens, 46, faces a single felony charge in connection with his alleged conduct, the details of which have EDENS been kept Was Davis under wraps officer since he first came under suspicion in late 2018.

At the time, Edens was a sergeant with the Davis Police Department supervising the now-defunct Yolo County Narcotics Enforcement Team (YONET).

According to Davis Police Chief Darren Pytel, several officers under Edens’ supervision back then reported to their assigned administrator that he may have engaged in workrelated misconduct. Edens was placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation.

“Shortly thereafter, several Davis police administrators conducted a standard check of department equipment and items under the control of Edens,” Pytel said in a written statement released this week. “An anomaly was detected that was unrelated to the original allegation.”

The anomaly — the result of an unspecified event that occurred hours before Edens was placed on leave — prompted the Davis Police Department to contact the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office and request “a full, independent criminal investigation by an outside lawenforcement agency,” Pytel said.

As parallel criminal and administrative investigations ensued by the DA’s Office and Davis Police Department, Edens fully resigned on June 7, 2019, with no benefits extended to him, Pytel said.

Following the conclusion of its investigation, the Yolo County DA’s Office submitted its case to the Solano County District Attorney’s Office for review and potential handling of the prosecution should charges be filed. That agency filed a criminal complaint in Yolo County on July 23.

Online court records show that Edens is charged with felony embezzlement.

A copy of the complaint document obtained by The

Davis Enterprise shows he is charged with misappropriation of public funds, alleging he was a public officer “charged with the receipt, safekeeping, transfer and distribution of public moneys, did in a manner not incidental and minimal without authority of law, appropriate the same, and a portion thereof, to personal use or the use of another.”

Pytel said in an interview Tuesday that Solano prosecutors have cautioned him “not to disclose any additional information at this point so we don’t jeopardize the investigation.”

“In cases involving a former police officer, prosecuting can sometimes be difficult,” Pytel added. “It’s incumbent for the agencies to control the information so that we have a successful criminal prosecution.”

Edens’ arraignment is scheduled for 1:30 p.m.

Oct. 14 before Yolo Judge Peter Williams. According to Pytel, Edens has not yet been arrested, but is required to surrender for booking prior to his court appearance.

“This is usually how it’s done in these types of nonviolent cases,” Pytel said when asked if Edens received preferential treatment.

Edens joined the Davis Police Department in September 2002. In December 2007, he suffered major injuries in an off-duty motorcycle collision in Roseville that resulted in the amputation of his left lower-leg.

He returned to work six months later and full-time patrol five months after that, going on to receive the department’s Officer of the Year award in 2009 and promotions to the rank of corporal, then sergeant. He also served as an undercover YONET agent.

The Enterprise has reached out to Edens for comment on the allegations and is awaiting a response.

In his prepared statement, Pytel called Edens’ alleged conduct “inexcusable and entirely incompatible with being a police officer and supervisor.”

“Without question, his departure had to happen,” Pytel said. “Despite Edens’ breach of public trust and duty, I was very pleased that the officers under his supervision took active steps to report potential misconduct and to completely cooperate with investigators.

This is exactly what we expect from our personnel and what we demand as a professional law enforcement agency.”

people’s lawns, trimming their hedges and blowing their fallen leaves into piles for proper disposal.

Nearly without exception, none of these people could afford to actually live in Davis. Not by a long shot. The term “workforce housing” does not apply to them.

I do agree with Councilman Dan Carson’s assessment that “if there is ash present, you should never use these devices.”

That’s common sense. But ash on Davis lawns and sidewalks is uncommon.

S

ome folks complain about the noise, but gardeners rarely use a leaf blower for more than a few minutes on any individual yard. If they were forced to use rakes or brooms instead, the additional time necessary to properly finish a job would seriously impact their ability to make a living.

Others complain about the gas being used and the fumes released into the air. These would be the same people who think nothing of idling the 420-horsepower engine on their Cadillac Escalade as they wait 10 or 15 minutes for a coffeeflavored milkshake in the drive-

thru lane at Starbucks.

As my friend Eric so perfectly notes, “Banning the use of gasolinepowered blowers would place an inordinate burden upon those who rely upon them for their livelihood.”

Indeed.

Adds Eric, “The citizens of Davis who sit inside their cozy homes and complain about three minutes of noise while their gardener labors outside regardless of weather does not seem right. The difference between the time and labor it takes to quickly blow off a sidewalk or walkway relative to the time and effort to push a broom is substantial. These individuals already operate on thin margins.”

In short, give them a break.

These people work hard to keep our town neat and clean, almost always accepting low wages with no benefits or perks of any kind, other than a cold drink of water from someone’s garden hose.

A bit of noise, a bit of gas and a bit of stirred up dust that will quickly settle is a small price to pay for the great service they provide.

Lecturers’ union: UC didn’t pay retirement

BY CALEB HAMPTON Enterprise staff writer The University CouncilAmerican Federation of Teachers (UC-AFT), the union representing lecturers and librarians at the University of California, has filed an unfair labor practice charge against the university, UC-AFT Executive Director Bill Quirk announced Friday.

According to the union, UC failed to make contributions to employees’ retirement accounts over multiple years. When correcting for the failure, the university did not account for years of market gains, potentially depriving employees of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

“Correcting this error is a process that requires close attention to each individual’s DCP account and investments,” said UC-AFT Vice-President for Organizing Daniel Schoorl, to the UC Retirement System Advisory Board in June.

More than 2,000 employees did not receive their retirement account contributions, according to a press release. The combined amount the university failed to pay totals roughly $650,000.

Most of the affected employees were contingent lecturers and teaching faculty whom the university hires on short-term, part-time contracts. According to

the union, the median annual UC lecturer salary in 2019 was $19,067.

“The University administration claims it failed to make the contributions because of a coding mistake in its centralized payroll system, UCPath,” Quirk said. UCOP did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

According to UC-AFT, the now nearly 2-year-old payroll system, UCPath, which was originally budgeted at $156 million, has cost the university around $500 million to implement.

The coding failure is not the first problem UCPath has caused. Last year, undergraduate employees at UC Davis walked off their jobs at the Coffee House and staged a protest inside Mrak Hall after

the new payroll system caused many to go unpaid for nearly two months.

“Earlier in the academic year (2019-2020), I received a similar email stating that I had been underpaid and would get the correct pay in my next paycheck. It’s troubling that I experienced these problems twice in one academic year. It makes me wonder how many payroll problems have gone unnoticed,” said UCLA teaching faculty member Sophia Cheng.

According to UC-AFT, the retirement program provides a supplemental benefit for eligible academic appointees and contributes 5% of an employee’s income to that employee’s 401k-style defined-contribution account.

Visiting the past to evade the present L

iving in the present moment seems good advice, but when the present feels, looks and smells like The End of the World, a visit to the (carefully edited) past might be sanity-saving. Here’s my Once Upon a Time.

As a child, I spent lovely days with Grandma Selgelid. I liked everything about her from the Dutch Girl uniform she wore to work (at Van de Camp Bakery) to her apple pie to her ebony rocking chair (my sole inheritance).

Grandma and Grandpa’s only grandchild at the time, I got taken to exotic places like Pismo Beach and Solvang. Especially Solvang, where during Danish Days, folks dressed up in charming outfits not unlike that uniform, and we got to eat aebleskiver for breakfast.

My relationship with Ma Leonardi, my other grandmother, was more conflicted. She scared me. She effortlessly cracked walnuts with her teeth, she didn’t seem to like me much, she didn’t speak fluent English, and she didn’t make apple pie. Besides, she had other grandchildren, who were 100% Italian and not half-breeds like me.

But given a choice between Sunday dinner at Grandma and Grandpa’s or Sunday dinner at Ma and Pa’s (not that I had a choice — we operated on a strict alternating schedule), I knew I’d choose Ma and Pa’s.

Ma served pasta. Sometimes bought from the Italian store, other times it was rolled out on the kitchen table just waiting to br plopped into the

boiling water. She ground her own veal and pork for meatballs, and she simmered the tomato sauce all day (though she was proud of her ability to whip up a batch on the spot if we paid an unexpected visit). I was usually the only diner who accepted her sometimes insistent offers of seconds and thirds (she liked that about me, at least), after which I had little interest in the meat course — or even dessert.

Her legacy: my lifelong love for good pasta of every shape and size with every sort of homemade sauce. A banner food week here might be linguine with tomato sauce on Monday, penne with chunky eggplant sauce on Tuesday, farfalle with garbanzo sauce on Wednesday, einkorn spaghetti with anchovy carbonara on Thursday and pizza on Friday. Saturday maybe risotto, polenta or farinata so long as the Sunday special is mushroom lasagna or oricchette with Roman broccoli sauce.

We could squeeze a nice piece of fresh fish in there somewhere, though I’d undoubtedly be tempted to serve it over pappardelle.

As a result of this pasta love, I’m always delighted to find a wine that perfectly matches one of my dishes — like the recent discovery of Tenuta delle Terre Nere Etna Bianco, which seems made just for Rigatoni and Cauliflower Al Forna (recipe easily available online if you’re interested in my household’s current favorite way to Eat More Crucifers).

The wine comes, as you might have guessed, from Sicily, Ma-and-Pa land. In particular, from Etna, an ancient area around the volcano, which has a pretty extreme climate that necessitates very careful vine-tending and winemaking but can produce really distinctive and unusual wines. Like this blend of local varieties carricante, catarratto, grecanico and minnella.

Carricante, the majority grape here, in conjunction with its native volcanic soil, produces whites with unusual salinity — this small family production is definitely saline. Though the nose is flowery, the wine’s much more savory than fruity; it’s also racy, beautifully acidic and alive. It cuts right through the cheese of the baked pasta and marries well with the dish’s large amount of fresh sage. Fermented 100% in stainless steel tanks, it’s terrifically food-friendly — I’d love to

try it with a fish dish, maybe fettucine with charred shallot, tomato paste and anchovy sauce, in honor of Fall’s official arrival.

California has the advantage of a climate much like Italy’s, with the result that many of the great Italian grapes grow quite well here.

Daughter Julian supplied me with a bottle of the Broc Cellars Amore Bianco (“perfect name for an anniversary wine” she noted).

The grape is Tokai Friulano, grown in the Fox Hill Vineyard — 60 acres devoted exclusively to Italian varieties. I’m hoping the fires haven’t ruined this year’s crop. Chris Brocway gets his Nero d’Avola grapes from this loamy Mendocino county vineyard as well.

W

ines can’t actually be labeled Tokai Friulano in Italy anymore because of the possible confusion with the unrelated Tokay of Hungary. Its alternative name is sauvignon vert, which is equally misleading since it has no known connection with sauvignon blanc. This Broc version shows off the pineapple-y possibilities of the grape, but it’s bright and acidic

and vibrant. The bottle is beautiful as well with its sketched artichoke label and clear glass that highlights the unfiltered contents.

Fermented on the skins in sandstone jars and stainless steel, it’s both sophisticated and entirely approachable. Foodfriendly, too, of course — the Broc folks actually recommend it with the hard-to-pair artichoke. I’m planning to make artichoke pesto over casarecce next time I get a bottle.

And, yes, perfect with all manner of pasta dishes, though we actually drank it with a loaf of Cheese Board bread, some bufala blue cheese, and a salad made with daughter Allegra’s cucumbers and tomatoes, which made it a family dinner (in these times of no family dinners) even though there were only two of us to share it.

Grandkid Sylvie was in the mix, too, since she was the subject of our toast on that evening, her 13th birthday.

Both these wonderful wines are, alas, at $28 a bit of a splurge. But what are the End Days for if not splurges — in the good cause of supporting organic vineyards and small winemakers? The Terre Nere came to us via

The Pip in Dixon, the Broc can be ordered on the website or picked up at Broc Cellars in Berkeley on weekends.

For something less expensive though equally Italian — this by way of Southern Australia — pick up a bottle of the Deliquente Screaming Betty Vermentino at the Co-op.

I’ve written before about the excellent, small-batch, single-vineyard Deliquente wines from the Riverland region, which you can spot easily by looking for the ugliest labels ever. So ugly that people love them.

Usually, these bottles sell for around $20, but the Co-op currently has the vermentino on sale for only $14 — a huge bargain.

All three wines are low in alcohol, but the Deliquente is (crazily and very surprisingly, given the full flavor) just 10%. So stock up and drink to days gone by, always remembering that in them we didn’t have much access to wine — or pasta — this good.

AUDIT: Connected applicants got in REOPEN: Data must stay steady From Page A1 The audit found the campus admitted 42 applicants based on their connections to staff and donors. Meanwhile, better qualified applicants were denied admission.

“By admitting 64 noncompetitive applicants, the university undermined the fairness and integrity of its admissions process and deprived more qualified students of the opportunity for admission,” state auditor Elaine M. Howle wrote in a letter to Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Email records published with the audit report show how athletics staff arranged admission for one student whose family made a donation to the UC Berkeley athletics department. “(The family’s) recruiting agent called me up … to have a direct conversation about what needed to happen next with this kid.

After beating around the bush for a little bit, he said the family has made it clear they would like to ‘add to the legacy of the (sports team) and their family at Berkeley’ to the tune of $(Amount redacted) donation,” an assistant coach at UC Berkeley said in an email to a head coach, who responded with emojis of a wine glass and thumbs-up signs.

Three days later, the assistant coach emailed the recruiting agent: “(Head Coach) is open to opportunities and would like the chance to speak on the phone. If the (family) is willing to establish their legacy with Berkeley and (the sports team) very soon involving the figures you suggested, we’ve already identified specific short-term & long-term needs of the program.

With this could *possibly* come early admission for (applicant) to facilitate the process & agreement.”

According to the audit report, the applicant was less qualified than others and, in the coaches’ own assessments, “lacked the (athletic) talent to compete at the campus,” but was admitted to UC Berkeley following a donation made by the applicant’s family.

Other applicants identified in the report include the child of a prominent alumnus, an applicant whose family was friends with a UC Regent, an applicant who babysat for a colleague of the former director of undergraduate admissions at a UC campus, the child of a highlevel university staff member and multiple

applicants whose families made large donations.

The number of inappropriate admissions offers made by UC campuses in recent years may be greater than the 64 cases identified in the audit.

“Because of limitations in the evidence available for our review regarding the campuses’ admissions processes, there were likely more inappropriate admissions at the campuses than the 64 we describe in this report,” Howle stated.

Auditors concluded that campus staff were able to engineer inappropriate admissions because campuses failed to implement safeguards against “improper influence” in the admissions process. Missing safeguards include separating decision-making authority so that no single individual is responsible for an admissions decision and verifying key information about applicants before offering admission.

UC President Michael V. Drake responded on Aug. 27 to the draft audit.

“I have zero tolerance on matters of integrity, and

will do everything I can to ensure inappropriate admissions do not happen on any of our campuses,” Drake said. He added that the university “will take prompt action to address issues raised in the State Auditor’s draft report.”

Some of the safeguards recommended in the audit report have already been implemented within the past year, Drake said.

The dozens of reported cases of students seeking admission to UC campuses through fraudulent means underscore the intense competition for a seat at the public university. The UC system as a whole admitted 149,461 students from among 215,162 applicants for fall 2020, though the admission rate for some campuses, including UCLA and UC Berkeley, was much lower.

From Page A1 the red Tier 2 on Tuesday: Alameda, Solano, San Mateo, Riverside and San Luis Obispo, joining 14 other counties in that tier.

Nearly all of the Bay Area is now in the red tier, with the exceptions of Contra Costa and Sonoma counties.

Sacramento County, like Yolo, remains in the purple tier but also met the metrics for the red tier over the last week.

Moving to Tier 2 would allow a number of Yolo County businesses, including gyms, libraries, movie theaters and places of worship to reopen, albeit with restrictions on the number of people allowed in at a time.

Restaurants could also resume indoor dining with a maximum capacity of 25 percent or 100 people, whichever is fewer, and schools could resume inperson instruction.

Further business reopenings would come in the orange Tier 3, which three counties (El Dorado, Lassen and Nevada) joined on Tuesday. Eleven counties are now in the orange

OBITUARIES Barbara ‘Sue’ Hartley July 4, 1931 — Sept. 16, 2020

Barbara “Sue” Hartley, age 89, passed away peacefully at her daughter’s home on Wednesday, Sept. 16.

Born Barbara Sue English on July 4, 1931, in Cincinnati, Ohio. She went to MacArthur High School (Ohio), where she met her future husband, Larry Ramsey Hartley. She graduated in 1949 as the valedictorian in her class and went on to attend The Ohio State University where she studied home economics. She and Larry married in 1952.

Larry joined the Navy in 1953 and Sue and Larry moved to wherever he was stationed, first in Corpus Christi, Texas, and then finally to San Diego, where, in 1961, their first daughter, Julie Ann, was born, and in 1962, their second daughter, Cindy Sue. The family moved around the Los Angeles area before settling in La Canada.

Sue remained a mom, wife and homemaker during these years, nurturing her girls with love and laughter. She was involved in Girl Scouts as a troop leader and assistant leader for both of the girls.

When she was not chauffeuring the girls to music lessons and ballet, she kept busy with the PTA and the local Methodist church. Family vacations were spent on three-week tent-camping trips every summer, crisscrossing the western United States.

Stories of these trips have been told and retold throughout the years and will go down in family history as “epic” adventures.

In 1972, the family moved to San Ramon. It was there that her passion for horses was reignited and passed onto her girls. The family purchased several horses during their time there, and most family outings for years to come were spent on horseback on trails or in show arenas.

In 1974, Sue and Larry purchased the Western Auto Store on G Street in Davis.

Soon thereafter, family and critters made their move to their new home. In 1976, Sue and Larry divorced and closed the store.

Sue then started her 35-plus-year career as an escrow officer, working at Ticor/North American Title, Young Mortgage and First American Title. She is remember as being “one of the best escrow officers in town” and for “her laughter and sparkle in her eyes.”

During her retirement, she took numerus trips to Bodega Bay with her daughter Cindy and her grandson Troy Birdeau. She also enjoyed “road trips” with her daughter Julie throughout Northern California.

She is preceded in death by her parents, James “Clyde” and Margorie Lillian (Culberson) English, and daughter Cindy Hartley.

Sue is survived by her brother, Keith McMurray, daughter, Julie (Hartley) Brinley, grandson and wife Troy and Michelle (Dutra) Birdeau, great-grandchildren Troy Jr. and Madalynn Sue, the many “Brinley Kids” that she loved as grandchildren and great-grandchildren, her special “daughters of the heart” Mary Scoonover, Lisa de Lalla, Lisa (Gonzales) Richards and Maria Thomas, special family friend John Day and former son-in-law John K. Brinley.

Those who would like to pay their respects may join the family from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25, at Smith’s Funeral Home, 116 D St. in Davis for a circulated visitation. Face masks are required. Sadly, please refrain from hugging, kissing and shaking hands during the visitation.

In remembrance, Sue asked that donations be made to the Yolo County SPCA, P.O. Box 510, Davis, CA 95617 Cheers to a life well lived, Sue! We will miss your smile, the sparkle in your eyes, your wit and laughter!

tier and just three counties are in the least restrictive yellow Tier 4: Alpine, Mariposa and Modoc.

But Yolo, according to Ghaly, is one of “a number of counties (that) did enough to control transmission that they’re moving towards a change in tier.”

Key to whether the county can make that change may be just how many students and staff returning to UC Davis test positive for the coronavirus.

The university began testing all students moving into campus housing last week and will continue to do so this week before moving on to students in offcampus housing as well as university employees. UC Davis plans to test everyone at least weekly after that.

UC Davis officials have warned the amount of screening being done in the beginning of the fall quarter, including on students flying in from around the state and country, will almost certainly lead to an increase in case numbers.

Officials in San Diego County, which has been in

the red tier the last couple of weeks, saw such an increase after hundreds of students at San Diego State University tested positive for the virus.

Fearing the county might be pulled back to the purple tier, San Diego County officials asked the state to remove college students from the county’s case numbers, a move the state refused. However, San Diego remained in the red tier on Tuesday.

“We included the San Diego State University numbers we received in all of our calculations,” Ghaly said Tuesday. “There were no concessions made on their data.”

Many states are seeing increases in COVID-19 cases, he noted, and a second wave of the pandemic is starting in Europe, “with some European countries returning to stricter stayat-home orders.”

Locally, Yolo County has averaged fewer than nine new cases per day in the last week, down from an average of 18 the week before, and well below the average of 30 or more daily cases earlier this summer.

Judith Simpson Schreider Oct. 17, 1939 — Sept. 11, 2020

Judith Schreider died in peace at home in the presence of her loving husband (Jay), sweet dog (Cayenne), and caregiver (Lisa Perrin) after a lifetime struggle with type 1 diabetes.

She was born Judith Leone Speer on Oct. 17, 1939, in Glendale to George Robert Speer and Dorothy Elizabeth Dryden.

Dorothy later married Robert Galusha, a kind man to whom Judith became very close.

Judith grew up in Southern California and was an excellent student at Valencia High School in Fullerton. She was an avid reader and enthusiastic learner, practices she maintained throughout her life. She entered the University of Oregon in 1958 and joined Kappa Alpha Theta sorority where she formed lifelong friendships (she was active in founding a chapter at UC Davis).

Judith met and was engaged to her future husband, George Simpson. Unfortunately, she had to leave the university due to a family disruption. She returned to Fullerton, married George in 1960 and moved to Hillsborough. George and Judith had two daughters: Suzanne Elizabeth followed by Catherine Elizabeth (Judith loved the name Elizabeth).

Judith further developed her volunteering habits that continued throughout her life.

George and Judith divorced in 1968 and Judith completed her undergraduate studies at California State University, Hayward.

Hayward. Subsequently, Judith, Sue and Cathy moved to Davis in 1970 where Judith began her graduate work in biological anthropology. As part of her fieldwork, Judith and her daughters were set to spend a year in the jungles of Venezuela studying

primate interactions. However, a medical examination in preparation for the trip uncovered her late-onset type 1 diabetes. In addition to disrupting her studies, this started her life of health struggles.

Yet she persisted — as she did throughout her life. Her field of research shifted to perinatal biology and non-human primate reproduction at the California Primate Research Center and she received her doctorate degree in 1976. Judith continued with postdoctoral work in perinatal biology from 1976 to 1979, lectured, and consulted for six years on primate reproduction with the Letterman Army Institute of Research.

Judith always enjoyed working with college students, even as a graduate student and post-doc. Mentoring college students turned out to be her niche and love in the academic world. In 1978 Judith was encouraged by Chancellor James Meyer’s office to apply for a new position in the Health Sciences Advising Office (HSAO). Chancellor Meyer had a goal to raise the UC Davis reputation as a premier school for students interested in maximizing their opportunity for admission to graduate and health professional schools. They wanted to have a Ph.D. level science individual so that would be accepted by deans and directors of admissions at health professional schools and also have a knowledge of UC Davis and a history of working with students.

Judith was perfect for the job and became the director of HSAO and chair of the PreHealth Professions Advisory Committee, positions she held until her retirement in

1993. During her tenure, she also served on various committees of the Association of Medical Colleges and the National Association of Advisors for Health Professions.

Although officially retired in 1993, she remained as chairman, PHPAC until the doors on the program closed.

She was not paid but truly cherished continuing to work with the students, conducting interviews in her home, and receiving calls from them and admissions officials at all hours. Even after the program closed, students would call asking for advice.

This is also reflected in her advising of members of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority at UCD and the over 25 years of activities as the alumni liaison with the Prytanean Women’s Honor Society.

Judith’s activities included volunteer work for Assemblyman John Vasconcellos and Congressman Vic Fazio. She also served on the board of directors of a local nonprofit organization, where she met her future husband, Jay Schreider, who was also on the board. Their relationship flourished and they were married on May 21, 1993, with their dog (Pepper) serving as a flower girl.

An activity Judith began concurrent with her position with the PHPAC was preparing Christmas pumpkin bread and fudge for the members of the committee, delivered to their homes. Over the years, the delivery list expanded to include the neighbors around her house.

Judith and Jay had a kind and nurturing marriage and supported each other’s myriad different activities and interests. Their greatest joys came with the marriage of Cathy to

Thomas Copenhaver and the birth of their children, John Robert and James Phillip.

Judith was referred to as “Gram.” Judith cherished watching digital pictures of John and James until the time of her death.

Another of Judith’s joys was watching “her students” as they completed their studies and had successful careers in the various health professions. Many of her students have maintained contact with Judith over the years and her face lit the room when they called or visited her. Almost to a person, they expressed their love and gratitude for her nurturing and mentoring.

Judith had a profound sense of fairness and kindness; enthusiasm for science, reading, and education; and deep empathy for the less fortunate. Her intelligence, smile and enthusiasm will be missed. It was Jay’s greatest honor and joy to care for Judith.

Judith is survived by her loving husband Jay, dog Cayenne, daughters Suzanne Swanson and Catherine Copenhaver, grandchildren John Robert and James Phillip Copenhaver, brothers Robert Galusha and David Galusha, sister Donna Graden, and nieces Laura Gordon, Margaret Braun, Meghan Galusha, and Katelin Moore. She was preceded in death by her dear dogs, Pepper and Chili.

Following Judith’s wishes, there will be no formal services or memorial. She also expressed her hope that people would vote.

Anyone who knew Judith’s heart knows how she would have voted in the upcoming election. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Yolo Hospice or Yolo Food Bank.

ou say you care about the environment and the future of our planet. How will you vote on a referendum on your ballot that is designed to increase greenhouse gas emissions?

You say you want less automobile traffic, and you think people should walk or bike to work and shop. How will you vote on a referendum that puts more people in their cars and makes them less able to get around on foot or bicycles?

You say you are for economic fairness. How will you vote on a referendum that will increase rents in Davis, taking more money from the have-nots and handing it to the haves?

You say you understand that Davis is a college community.

How will you vote on a referendum that is designed to harm university students and deny them housing in Davis?

You say you are against systemic racism. You say you oppose policies that hurt lowerincome minorities. How will you vote on a referendum that you know has the effect of pricing out Black and brown people from living in Davis?

You say you understand that Davis has become unaffordable for families with young children and you know that threatens the viability of our schools. How will you vote on a referendum that’s

LETTERS Re-elect Provenza I am writing to urge Davis voters in District 4 to re-elect Yolo County Supervisor Jim Provenza on Nov. 3. During the past two years, I have been impressed with Supervisor Provenza’s dedication to our efforts to save the Pine Tree Gardens residential treatment program for adults living with serious brain disorders.

He has attended numerous meetings, has toured both homes in Davis and has worked with Turning Point Community Programs, family members, mental health professionals and county administrators to create a plan to make this program sustainable and available to individuals who need this type of care in the future. In addition, he has partnered with Yolo County leaders to advocate at the state level for increased income and support for board and care residents and providers. This summer, he voted to allow Yolo County to purchase Pine Tree Gardens East with Mental Health Service Act Funds. He also supported the three-year Mental Health Services Act plan for Yolo County mental health clients. We need his experience and his compassion for the most vulnerable in our community now more than ever.

During this COVID-19 pandemic Jim has provided Yolo County residents with steady leadership and current information about the multiple crises in and near Yolo County. Vote for Jim on or before Nov. 3.

Marilyn Moyle Davis

Support for Hyder I have known Betsy Hyder since she and her family moved to Davis. Our initial connection was through a book club, and I have subsequently got to know her and her family better over the years and have become good friends.

I have seen firsthand her dedication to her children and her thoughtfulness and kindness.

During the book club, Betsy was

designed to make Davis more expensive for young families?

You say you are for good government and you realize Davis needs to plan for the future.

How will you vote on a referendum that makes civic planning impossible?

On Nov. 3, you will be able to cast your vote for or against Measure D. This pernicious proposition renews the initiative originally called Measure J in 2000 and revived in 2010 as Measure R. On its face, Measure D seems like an innocuous way for ordinary citizens to have their say on growth in Davis. If the City Council approves a new development on our borders, it goes to the ballot where you can give it a thumbs up or a thumbs down, majority rules.

However, it’s not that simple in effect. The reality is that Measure D will be disastrous. In its guise as Measure J/R, it has been injurious to our environment, renters, students, lowerincome minorities, diversity,

Davis Hospital. That determination was made by the developer.

After a very expensive campaign, the unplanned project was approved by voters. But, if the developer did not have hundreds of thousands of dollars to convince a yes vote and millions of dollars in profits on the line, the project would have failed.

People with less money or small proposals, even ones more suited to our needs, stand no chance at the ballot.

D

espite a huge housing shortage in 2004, Davis voters turned down “Covell Village” in the first Measure J referendum. It would have added 1,884 new housing units and other facilities by 2017.

The wealthy homeowners of Davis flexed their muscles in that vote.

Yet Covell Village housing was built: in Woodland, 6 miles north; in Winters, 15 miles west; in Dixon 8 miles south; and in West Sacramento, 15 miles east.

No large housing developments have ever been approved by voters in Davis in the Measure J/R era.

As a result, Davis housing has become much less affordable.

Young families have no chance to buy a starter home here. Rents have skyrocketed in the last 20 years.

Many Davis school children are now driven into town from

Woodland, Dixon, Winters and West Sacramento. Parents that would have lived in homes we planned for, now live in other cities and drive to work at UC Davis.

The same is true for university students. Our lack of proper planning has pushed thousands to live 10 to 30 miles away.

Instead of biking to class, they are driving cars and crowding our streets and highways.

Instead of riding zero-emission bicycles, Measure J/R has given us more and more CO2 from tailpipe emissions.

If housing had been built here, Davis would have property tax money to pay for better bike lanes and road repairs. Instead, we get more car traffic, more potholes and less money to fix our crumbling streets.

The proponents of Measure D tell you their desire is to preserve open space and prevent sprawl.

But experience proves that false.

If land on our periphery is not developed, Davis housing demand will be met on farmland in Natomas, West Sacramento, Vacaville, Woodland and Dixon.

You say you want Davis to be racially diverse, properly planned, affordable and environmentally sound? Your no vote on Measure D should be obvious.

Vote Deos for diversity Since the primary election held last March, the need for more diversified leadership in our country has only intensified.

Death rates from COVID-19 and the use of deadly force by police are vividly illustrating, essentially every day, the racial and socioeconomic disparities that exist in American society. In order to initiate and maintain the hard work of establishing true equity for all Americans, it is crucial that we tap into the entire pool of human resources and talent.

In November’s general election, Davis citizens living in the 4th District have the opportunity to expand the pool of human resources and talent among our elected county officials. We can elect Linda Deos to our Yolo County Board of Supervisors — a board which is currently, and has been for the last decade, comprised of all men.

Linda has spent her career as a consumer-protection attorney, protecting the 99% against the most powerful, defending employees against sexual harassment and discrimination. She knows that too many people in our community are just one missed paycheck away from disaster. In her “spare” time she’s worked for social justice and food equity.

Linda has the skills and experience to give a strong and powerful voice to the needs and concerns of everyone in Yolo County, especially women, members of the LGBTQ+ community and people of color.

Linda Deos is the right woman for the 4th District’s open leadership role on the Board of Supervisors. Please join me in voting for Linda Deos.

families with young children, public infrastructure and municipal planning.

Take the last one first. Measure D prevents the city of Davis from planning for its future.

Our city has — by state law — a general plan. The main idea of that document is to gauge our needs and zone accordingly. If, for example, we have a shortage of rental apartments or expect demand for them to increase, professional planners and the City Council can determine which available properties would best suit needed new developments.

The general plan would then be updated to fit that need. In cases where land is available inside our boundaries, it would be drawn up inside the city limits. But in Davis there is little available land for new housing.

So planners could wisely prepare for new units on our periphery.

However, Measure D removes that planning option. If the city of Davis expects our future needs will be met on the periphery, and a majority of voters — largely older white people — reject that growth, the general plan proves impotent.

In place of civic planning, Measure D gives us haphazard developer proposals. It was not, for example, the city or the free market that decided we needed senior housing west of Sutter

Frerichs for District 3 District 3 neighbors, let’s reelect Lucas Frerichs to the city council! I have known Lucas for years and supported his first run eight years ago. I’ve not been disappointed.

He brought a needed spirit of collaboration and problem solving to the council. And this approach produced tangible results: co-founding Valley Clean Energy, building the WoodlandDavis Surface Water Project and replacing the old wastewater treatment plant.

He worked on the memorandum of understanding with the county and UC Davis, under which the university has committed to provide more oncampus housing for students and to invest millions of dollars in local transportation.

He supported more marketrate apartments for students, his goal being to release the pressure on single-family homes so they become more affordable for people who want to raise a family in Davis.

Other examples of Lucas seeking collaborations: he is on the board of Yolobus and he is now the chair of the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG), an association of local governments in the six-county Sacramento region.

I know that he will continue to work with the university,

the county and nonprofit organizations on issues such as homelessness, the lack of affordable housing, and the necessity to reduce negative police interactions in our community by investing resources in outreach and mental-health crisis intervention services.

Also, I can count on him to stand for principle and transparency, like last April when he was the only council vote against a no-bid long-term lease of city land to a commercial solar company.

Finally, I am sure that Lucas will continue to care about our entire community despite the fact that we are now voting by district.

documented at Walsh4Davis and persuades me that he will make a fine, thoughtful councilman.

Any council that would approve unanimously the Ramos DISC 200-acre project and Measure B is seriously in need of replacement.

These days, a developer need only promise the council, against sound evidence, that the project is traffic- and carbon-neutral, will produce a rich stream of revenue for the city and include affordable housing for a unanimous vote of approval.

Then comes project creep: This is the process by which everything beneficial and mitigating (and expensive to the developer) creeps away and everything contributing to profitability creeps in.

Creep occurs slowly but surely by increments, none of which alone is a huge deal, but, taken together, would have sunk the project if acknowledged in the first place. Every longtime resident has seen this time and again.

Colin knows project creep for what it is and will demand realistic not fanciful evaluation of development proposals.

Although he will not be “my” councilman, I shall rest better knowing he is there to serve our city.

SHOOTING: Preliminary footage From Page A1 “he’s still got the gun — he’s manipulating it.”

Coleman succumbed to his injuries moments later, marking West Sacramento’s first officer-involved shooting in nearly two decades. No officers were injured.

The fatal shooting was captured in roughly eight minutes of officer bodycamera video that West Sacramento police released on Monday, nine days after the incident. It includes footage from three officers’ cameras.

Several days after the incident, police revealed that Coleman was a former code and parking enforcement employee of the West Sacramento Police Department, who according to his family had suffered from mentalhealth issues and suicidal thoughts in recent years.

“After reviewing the footage, I felt even more deeply the profound tragedy of Mr. Coleman’s battle with mental illness, as well as the trauma endured both by his family and by police officers on the scene,” West Sacramento Mayor Christopher Cabaldon said.

Investigation continues The events leading up to the shooting began at about 3 a.m., when police received a 911 call reporting a man in his 30s armed with a gun in the 1800 block of West Capitol Avenue.

“Multiple officers respond and detain a man who matches the description but ultimately is unrelated to the shooting,” police said in a written statement accompanying the video.

As officers spoke with the detained man, one of them returned to his patrol car, where the encounter with Coleman began.

Sgt. Eric Angle noted that the footage released thus far is preliminary only, with full video expected to be released within 45 days of the fatal shooting in accordance with state law.

Four officers discharged their weapons that night, the exact number of shots fired still under investigation, Angle said. The officers included a sergeant with 15 years of experience

and three officers with five years or less on the job.

Also unclear is whether any shots came from Coleman’s weapon.

“We wouldn’t speculate about that until we get the complete video from all four shooters,” Angle told The Enterprise on Monday.

All six involved officers were placed on administrative leave following the shooting but will soon be authorized to return to duty while receiving support services, Interim Police Chief Rob Strange said.

The Davis Police Department is conducting the investigation into the shooting, the results of which will be reviewed by the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2020 A9

GORMAN: Viewpoint of ‘students and renters’ From Page A1 University Commons project recently approved by the City Council, but said, “I actually think the final project was quite a bit better, especially around affordability, than some of the early proposals, because they included affordable (units) on site.

“I believe the council actually pushed University Commons to include more affordability.”

That, said Gorman, is proof that council members can push developers to improve their proposals despite arguments that if the city pushes too hard for affordable housing (or anything else) in a project, the developer will simply move elsewhere.

Likewise, the current proposal for a University Research Park multi-use project should have the same percentage of affordable housing as University Commons, Gorman said, “and preferably more.”

The Davis Innovation and Sustainability Campus, meanwhile, “is a good project,” Gorman said, “in the sense that I would rather have it than not have it.”

In particular, he likes the affordable-housing component, “which is another example of the city pushing a developer.

“It also provides jobs, especially for people who are coming out of the university,” said Gorman, “and I do think that is something that’s important.”

But he has another proposal for economic development: namely, either a commercial vacancy tax or commercial rent control.

“Because one big problem, especially in the downtown, is small businesses being priced out,” said Gorman.

“Having either direct commercial rent control or possibly a commercial vacancy tax that incentivizes the landowners to lower the rent enough that a business

tenant is willing to fill the spot (would encourage more businesses to move here),” he said.

On police reform, Gorman said “I don’t think policing creates safety for pretty much anyone.

“Policing certainly doesn’t create safety around drug use and substance abuse and those types of issues, but even in terms of the more serious crimes, policing doesn’t prevent them, it comes afterwards. And even then, there’s often a very low clearance rate and often not victim-centered.”

He favors redirecting resources to mental health crisis response as well as homeless outreach, shelters and respite centers.

“But also things like victims services through trained social workers who are not armed … Police can be very triggering even for people who are victims of serious crimes, people in marginalized communities (who) won’t go to police with these types of things because they don’t believe the police will make it better and might make it worse. I believe we should redirect resources to other types of programs,” said Gorman.

As one of four candidates or the council’s 5th District, Gorman believes he is unique in part because of the perspective he brings: “A perspective of students and renters.”

“Simultaneously, I believe my continuous organizing in Davis has given me a connection to different community needs and organizations and groups that I think will help me make decisions.

“And I have been involved in city politics for quite a while as well, so even though I will bring new perspective and connections, simultaneously I have a decent amount of background in the way that the city council does thing.”

LVW aims to make sense of election

BY KATHY ROBERTSON Enterprise staff writer One year after start-up, a re-energized League of Women Voters Davis Area offers nonpartisan information to help Yolo County residents register to vote and make informed decisions on Nov. 3.

The League will host candidate forums for the local school board and city council, provide online fact sheets about local propositions and election issues, and work to boost voter registration.

An outgrowth of the women’s suffrage movement that gave women the right to vote 100 years ago, the League of Women Voters is all about nonpartisan information to help voters make good decisions at the ballot box.

Women have represented a majority of the voting public since 2000, according to a study by the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University. The number of female voters has exceeded male voters in every presidential election since 1964, the study found.

“The reason why I decided right away to work on the League’s revival is that it has a brand name and is known for nonpartisanship,” said Bob Fung, chair of the voter service committee for the Davis League. “Whether local, statewide or national, all political levels need a nonpartisan organization to get the parties and candidates to talk to each other in a civil way.”

Demise and restart The Davis League was born in 1957, paving the way for Kathleen Green to become the first woman elected to the Davis City Council in 1958. Once a strong group in local election politics, the League struggled to maintain membership as more women entered the workplace. It was dissolved in 2015.

Last year, former president Mary Jo Bryan tapped a handful of others to restart a local League. The group now has more than 100 members — and men, as well as women, are invited to join.

Six men are individual members, but men are also part of 24 “household” members.

The League of Women Voters offers a two-pronged approach to political activism: the group studies specific issues of local concern as well as its traditional role in voter registration and election information.

Highlights during the first year include forums on the Davis General Plan, housing discrimination and affordable housing; a health-care forum on local issues related to COVID19, and an election forum for candidates for Yolo County Supervisor.

League members also helped 1,300 UC Davis students register to vote for the 2020 primary election.

“There are so many reasons to be active in local politics,” said Bryan, who is president of the new

League of Women Voters in Davis. “I like getting involved in helping other people get involved.”

Davis Mayor Gloria Partida credits the League with making her journey to become the first Latinx elected to the Davis City Council possible.

“The suffrage movement said women should have a voice at the table,” Partida said during a Zoom meeting last month to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the Davis League.

“I spent a whole lot of time asking (the council) for things that were needed, and I wanted to be (on the) other side,” Partida added.

“The League of Women Voters gave women a voice in democracy. “

After a successful summer horse camp, Pine Trails Ranch and the city of Davis will collaborate again to offer fall riding sessions.

Each participant will have his or her own horse for the week.

This session will focus on riding skills, becoming a confident rider, horse care, and applied learning.

A total of 116,187 of the 152,152 Yolo County residents eligible to vote Nov. 3 were registered as of Sept.

15, according to Yolo County election officer Jesse Salinas. The high was 117,140 for the primary in March 2020, but he expects 3,000 to 5,000 more voters to register by election day.

Salinas is working closely with the Davis League to get the word out about how to register and details about when, where and how voters can cast their ballots.

“When I look for organizations that can be neutral and remain nonpartisan, the League is a wonderful partner,” Salinas said.

Every registered Yolo County voter will receive a vote-by-mail ballot — and there is no need to worry about the post office falling down on the job of getting ballots to the right place in time to be counted, he stressed.

“We’ve talked to the postal service in West Sacramento, and they have had no changes in any of their equipment, nor are any changes expected,” Salinas said in a recent interview.

Salinas expects to report the first election returns by about 8:15 p.m. election night, although he legally, has a 30-day window to report official results. As long as mail-in ballots are postmarked by election day, they can arrive up to 17 days late and still be counted, he said.
