Second virus outbreak at nursing facility

Not so fast, now?

UCD faculty pushes back on cuts to PE

BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer This Saturday marks the four-year anniversary of Lola Rios Gutierrez’s worst nightmare — the disappearance of her teenage son Enrique Rios, now presumed murdered along with his friend Elijah Moore.

Yolo County authorities say both were slain by four other young men over a $300 marijuana robbery, a case that so far has sent one defendant to prison, while RIOS another Body never admitted found to the murders and two more still await trial.

In the years since Rios’ Oct. 17, 2016, disappearance, Gutierrez has maintained a near-constant presence on Facebook, paying tribute to her son with photos and videos from his upbringing in addition to posting updates about the ongoing court case.

She’s also hosted public gatherings in Rios’ remembrance, but with large crowds currently discouraged due to COVID-19,

Another large outbreak of COVID-19 infections has been reported at Alderson Convalescent Hospital in Woodland.

Eighteen cases — including 14 residents and four staff members — have been confirmed as of Wednesday, the county reported.

This is the second outbreak the family-owned skilled nursing facility located on Walnut Street has dealt with. The first outbreak, which began in July, involved 27 people — 17 residents and 10 staff members — and resulted in three deaths.

None of those infected during the first outbreak have tested positive during this second outbreak, according to county public information officer Jenny Tan. “There are no repeat infected individuals at this time,” Tan said Thursday.

“This facility mitigated its first outbreak in early July,” a press release from the county said.

However, it noted, “locations like nursing facilities, where people are living in congregate settings and the population served are older or elderly with underlying health conditions, are at the highest risk of being infected.”

A student petition has collected upwards of 2,000 signatures as UC Davis students and faculty push back against the university’s recent decision to eliminate its long-standing physical education program.

In the final week of September, campus officials announced the 100-plus-year-old program would be discontinued following the conclusion of the current fall quarter. Cited among reasons for its elimination were “steadily declining enrollment” figures and alternative fitness options offered through Davis’ Campus Recreation activities. In recent years, total enrollment in the program has ranged from 5,900-7,800 UCD students (close to 20 percent of the undergraduate population) with nearly a quarter of students enrolled in multiple PE classes.

UCD Director of News and Media Relations Melissa Blouin told The Enterprise the decision had been made “after considerable review by groups of faculty and staff over a period of multiple years.”

But members of the Davis Faculty Association

Enterprise staff writer With less than three weeks to go until the election, dozens of downtown Davis businesses are weighing in against the Davis Innovation and Sustainability Campus and objecting to the Davis Downtown Business Association’s endorsement of the project.

On the Nov. 3 ballot as Measure B, DISC would

VOL. 123 NO. 126

bring 2.64 million square feet of business and innovation space as well as up to 850 residential units to the northeast corner of Mace Boulevard and Interstate 80.

The proposal was placed on the ballot by a unanimous vote of the Davis City Council with written support from both the Davis Chamber of Commerce and the DDBA.

In a letter sent to the Davis Planning Commission in June, DDBA executive director Brett Maresca said, “We believe DISC will improve quality of life for our members and residents through its considerable contribution to our local economy and many small businesses, while making considerable efforts to support a vibrant

Enterprise staff writer The Davis Planning Commission this week unanimously approved a conditional use permit for Raising Cane’s to open a restaurant in downtown Davis.

The Louisiana-based fast-food chain, which specializes in chicken fingers, will move into the location previously occupied by Watermelon Music at 207 E St. Current city zoning code requires a conditional use permit for formula fastfood restaurants in the central commercial zoning district. But several planning

commissioners questioned why that was the case, given the numerous fast-food chains already operating downtown.

“It seems like an archaic restriction on business in our town,” said Commissioner Greg Rowe. “It seems kind of weird that we have to go through a planning commission review of this type of thing when formula-istic fast-food restaurants are prevalent all over downtown Davis.”

Briefly Former cop’s case postponed Wednesday’s scheduled arraignment of a former Davis police officer accused of embezzlement was postponed for a week at the prosecution’s request.

Trevor Anthony Edens, 46, is charged with misappropriating public funds in 2018.

Edens’ new court date is Oct. 21 at 1:30 p.m. in Yolo Superior Court Department 1.

While the case is being prosecuted in Yolo County, it will be handled by the Solano County District Attorney’s Office, which reviewed the case prior to formal charges being filed in late July.

For the record In a Jan. 8 story about an effort to ban parking meters downtown, a statement from the Freedom to Park group blamed Long Shot Political Consulting for failing to deliver any signatures to its petition effort.

On Oct. 6, a smallclaims judgment in Yolo County court sided with Long Shot’s Paul Scott on his claim that he had fulfilled the terms of his contract, which was “to run a radio advertising campaign to push registered voters to the (Freedom to Park) signature-gathering locations.”

Special to The Enterprise When you go to the grocery store, you can look at an apple and know if it was grown in Chile, Washington or somewhere closer to you by a quick glance at its sticker. But consumers have largely been in the dark when it comes to energy and how far it has traveled to reach them.

A study published today in the journal Frontiers in Sustainability by UC Davis sheds light on the lengths alternative-energy providers go to bring electrical power to customers.

Consuming electricity closer to its source can reduce greenhouse gases lost in the transport of electrons across the transmission and distribution grid.

This can help increase efficiencies and create more self-sustaining, equitable communities. Similar goals are often shared by farmto-table supporters.

“This study provides a quantitative foundation for a local energy movement, akin to the local food movement,” said co-leading author Rebecca R. Hernandez, an assistant professor in the UC Davis department of land, air and water resources and a founding director of the Wild Energy Initiative in the John Muir Institute of the Environment, and Energy and Efficiency Institute.

The study compared three types of energy providers in California — community choice aggregations, or CCAs; cooperatives; and publicly owned utilities — to learn the distance purchasedenergy sources travel to support their consumers, and the makeup of their energy resource portfolio, in 2017. Investor-owned utilities were excluded from the study.

Going the distance Madison Hoffacker, a master’s student in the UC Davis Energy Graduate

Group at the time the study was conducted, designed and hand-curated the study’s large, spatial dataset. She found that CCAs purchased more than 2.5 times as much renewable energy as other providers.

Renewables comprised nearly half of their energy portfolios.

However, CCAs also went 2.5 times farther to source that energy.

Hoffacker notes that CCAs are young, with beginnings around 2010, and it takes time to build energy portfolios. She hopes the research will help shape future goals of energy providers and raise awareness among customers and utilities alike of the need to look for both renewable and local sources.

“My study was trying to find a way to ensure accountability for different decision-makers who have an influence over not only what type of energy is procured but also where we’re sourcing that energy from,” Hoffaker said.

Outsited and outsourced The study found that only about 20 percent of purchased energy among providers was local. The remaining 80 percent is what Hoffacker terms “outsited” — energy generated from outside the provider’s jurisdictional footprint. In fact, 42 percent was drawn from out of state.

On average, purchased resources in California came from 270 miles away — as far north as Canada and as far east as Oklahoma. Further, 100 percent of coal and nuclear energy purchased by these providers was sourced from out of state.

“As we race toward a rapid energy transition to renewables, it can be deceptively attractive to impose large-scale energy infrastructure upon poorer, often rural communities that are far away,” Hernandez said.

“Such communities are often disenfranchised from such development decisions or lack the socio-economic resources to voice how that infrastructure may impact their viewsheds, natural resources, and livelihoods — and we have seen this happen here in the U.S. “By siting energy infrastructure as near as possible to those who directly benefit from it, risks and liabilities associated with environmental justice are often reduced.”

The food connection While conducting the study, Hoffacker noticed several parallels between consumers’ increased interest in local, decentralized energy and the local food movement.

One movement fuels interest in sourcing food from our own backyard, farmers markets, cooperatives and communitysupported agriculture subscriptions. The other features people installing rooftop solar panels and battery systems, and supporting providers like cooperatives and CCAs. “People want to provide their own energy or have choices over where their energy resources are coming from, be they renewable or local,” Hoffacker said.

“There’s a lot we know about the food sector regarding standards for producing organic food or distance metrics for local foods. There’s a similar movement underway that we can apply to the energy sector, as well.”

The study was funded by UC Davis’ John Muir Institute of the Environment; Department of Land, Air and Water Resources; Agricultural Experiment Station; and by the California Energy Commission.

Enterprise staff writer Davis police are on the lookout for a motorist who was involved in a hitand-run collision that injured a bicyclist Tuesday morning.

According to a news release, officers responded at about 11:50 a.m. to the collision at Third and D streets that involved the cyclist and a green Volkswagen Beetle.

“Upon their arrival, officers conducted an investigation and found that the Volkswagen had left the scene. The bicyclist had sustained injuries during the collision and was transported

by ambulance to a Sacramento hospital for treatment,” the news release said.

Police are investigating the incident as a felony hit-and-run. The vehicle involved is described as lime-green in color possibly having yellow paper plates with “Cal Motors” in red lettering.

The driver is believed to be a Hispanic male adult, 20 to 30 years old, with short dark hair in a “buzz cut” style.

Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact the Davis Police Department at 530-747-5400 and reference case number 20-4503.

Dia de los Muertos lives on with displays, mural Enterprise staff Due to COVID-19, the Davis Cemetery District has decided to modify this year's Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebration, planned for Friday, Oct. 30, through Sunday, Nov. 1.

Informational signage will be placed along the cemetery's eastern internal roadway, just north of the memorial fountain.

A public altar will be at the end of the eastern roadway. Contributions to the altar are welcome.

Local artist Judy Catambay will be painting a temporary public plaza mural on the corner of Pole Line Road and Eighth Street, as part of a public art project called #Plan4Resilience.

In #Plan4Resilience, artists are asked what we can learn from the pandemic and what lessons we can carry into the future to build resilience

for future challenges, including the climate crisis. Artists create temporary pavement paintings in parks and plazas to honor public holidays and lift the community's spirits while reflecting on long-term resilience.

Also an art teacher, Catambay works in ceramics, mixed-media painting and street murals.

The pavement mural for Dia De Los Muertos is especially meaningful to her after the recent passing of her mother.

“It’s a way to honor her life,” she said. “The vision for the mural will be inspired by her legacy of kindness and perseverance. These are the qualities we need for resiliency in the future.” #Plan4Resilience is funded, in part, by a grant from the city of Davis Arts & Cultural Affairs Program.

UC Davis testing COVID-19 antibodies given to Trump

BY CALEB HAMPTON Enterprise staff writer UC Davis Health began a new clinical trial last week that will test the safety and effectiveness of a monoclonal antibody cocktail called REGN-COV2 in preventing COVID-19 in adults who are living with infected patients, the university announced Monday in a press release. President Trump was recently given the drug, which is still in the clinical experimental stage, as part of his treatment for COVID-19. “We at UC Davis Health are very excited to be part of this clinical trial and to study antibodies which have been used in the past to prevent many viral infections, such as hepatitis B, after exposure,� said Stuart Cohen, chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases and director of Hospital Epidemiology and Infection Prevention at UC Davis Health, who will oversee the clinical trial and recruitment of participants. “We will test the ability of REGN-COV2 to prevent COVID-19 infection in people who have had close exposure to a diagnosed patient, such as a household member,� Cohen said.

The trial is sponsored by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals and is currently in Phase III, during which the efficacy, tolerability and safety of the drug is evaluated. Study participants are limited to adults with no history of coronavirus infection who live with someone who has COVID-19. UC Davis Health enrolled its first participant on Oct. 6. “Study participants will be randomly

assigned to either an experimental group receiving the active medication or to the control group taking the placebo,� UC Davis Health said in its press release. “As a double-blinded study, both the participants and the researchers will not know the group assignments.�

The participants will be administered either REGN-COV2 or the placebo within 96 hours of having been in close contact with an infected person. According to UC Davis Health, the trial will seek to determine whether the antibody cocktail can prevent infection for one month following administration of the drug. Participants should anticipate living in the same household as the infected person for at least 29 consecutive days, the study criteria states.

The trial aims to enroll an estimated 2,000 participants at more than a hundred study locations, of which UC Davis Health is one. It is scheduled to run through Aug. 2021.

The REGN-COV2 antibody cocktail developed by Regeneron combines REGN10933 and REGN 10987 antibodies to bind the coronavirus spike protein and block its interaction with the host receptor, UC Davis Health said. “The trial builds on encouraging findings from a set of studies that showed the neutralizing impact of REGN10933 and REGN10987. In addition to this clinical trial, UC Davis Health is involved in testing this antibody combination as a treatment for patients with COVID-19,� the press release said.

Davis firefighters and their families assemble food baskets for the department’s annual turkey-basket giveaway in 2014.

Firefighters plan food drive

BY LAUREN KEENE Special to The Enterprise It’s a fall rite of passage in the city of Davis — local firefighters and their families gathered at busy intersections around town, holding “Fill the Boot� fundraisers benefiting their annual Thanksgiving turkey basket program.

But as the COVID-19 pandemic rages on, firefighters can’t risk exposure to the virus by taking to the streets this year. At the same time, the program’s need remains as high as ever given the ongoing economic slump. “We’ve been getting bombarded with calls from families, asking if they can still get a turkey this year,� said Luis Parrilla, a Davis Fire Department captain and

organizer of the food basket program for Davis Firefighters Local 3494 — and who survived his own battle with coronavirus last spring.

While many local traditions have fallen by the wayside in 2020, “we want to keep this one going,� Parrilla said of the turkey basket program, which the Fire Department began more than three decades ago. “I think this year we probably need it more than ever.�

So the union is pressing on, hoping to raise the $18,000 needed for up to 600 food baskets through contact-free methods such as the Venmo mobile payment service or by asking donors to send their financial contributions directly to the Fire Department.

Those using the Venmo

app can send their donations to @DavisFFL3494.

Mailed-in or dropped-off contributions should be delivered to the Davis Fire Department (attention: Local 3494), 530 Fifth St., Davis, CA 95616.

Meanwhile, anyone who still wants to “fill the boot� can do so. Dos Coyotes owner Bobby Coyote plans to set out boots at his two Davis restaurants at The Marketplace in West Davis and and Oakshade Town Center in South Davis, according to Parrilla.

As for the basket pickups, scheduled to take place the Monday before Thanksgiving, firefighters are working out logistics for contact-free delivery. — Reach Lauren Keene at lkeene@davisenterprise.net. Follow her on Twitter at @laurenkeene

UCD will create program for students with intellectual disabilities

BY CALEB HAMPTON Enterprise staff writer The UC Davis MIND Institute and the UC Davis Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion will create an inclusive four-year college program for students with intellectual disabilities. The program, which is made possible by a $2.1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education, will be the first of its kind in the Western United States.

“It’s a game-changer,” said Beth Foraker, an instructor at the UC Davis School of Education who will be the co-director of the new program, which is called the Supported Education to Elevate Diversity, or SEED, Scholar program.

The first group of 12 students is expected to begin classes at UC Davis in the fall of 2021. The group will likely include people with autism, Down syndrome, fragile X syndrome and other neurodevelopmental disabilities, UC Davis Health said this week in a press release.

“Ninety-seven percent of adults with intellectual disabilities are living in poverty,” said Foraker, noting that higher educating options in the U.S. are severely limited. “This is a chance for them to go on to make a living wage, to live an authentic life of true freedom.” Foraker’s 21-yearold son, Patrick, has Down syndrome and has been working towards that goal for years, she said.

The program will be fully integrated into the larger campus community. SEED scholars will live in campus housing, attend classes and take part in extracurricular activities. There is also an internship component of the program with options for placement on campus, within UC Davis Health and in legislative offices at the State Capitol in Sacramento.

“This really is about diversity, equity and inclusion,” said Leonard Abbeduto, director of the MIND Institute. “People with intellectual disabilities should have the same rights to post-sec-

ondary education options as everyone else.”

Incorporated into the program will be a support system for SEED scholars. Fellow undergraduate students will serve as peer mentors and will help SEED scholars with academics, social activities, health and wellness and with internships.

“I am excited about partnering with the MIND Institute to expand inclusive education and excellence,” said Renetta Tull, vice chancellor for diversity, equity, and inclusion. “Having support from the Department of Education for this new initiative to welcome students with intellectual disabilities into the UC Davis Aggie family is a reason to celebrate!”

The SEED scholars’ curriculum will include regular UC Davis courses along with some special courses focused on issues like independent living. Some of the courses for the program are still being designed. “The goal is to create a program that will culminate in a meaningful credential

for the graduates,” UC Davis Health said.

“Even though we were motivated originally by the benefit to the students with intellectual disabilities, I think there’s going to be a great benefit to UC Davis undergraduate students in general,” Abbeduto said. “This is why we encourage diversity in all of its forms. We want people to understand the world from everyone else’s perspective because there’s great value in that.”

The five-year grant from the U.S. Department of Educations is categorized within the Transition and Postsecondary Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities (TPSID), which was created in 2010. UC Davis is the first school in California to receive TPSID funding to create a fouryear inclusive, residential program, according to UC Davis Health.

The grant will cover roughly 80% of the cost of creating the program. The rest of the cost will largely be covered by philanthropic donations.

PE: Faculty feels left out of decision From Page A1 elimination.

Among several concerns listed in the DFA letter were: ■ Why there was not a larger degree of engagement with the campus community concerning the decision and its consequences, noting that Davis’ Academic Senate has formal authority in decisions of this nature.

■ How eliminating physical education courses supports the recentlylaunched “Healthy UC Davis” initiative, which aims to promote physical activity, health and both mental and emotional wellbeing.

■ That many majors on campus are “profoundly segregated by race and by gender,” while PE classes offer students, across all disciplines and economic backgrounds a safe space and unique opportunity to make connections “and interact across lines of race, religious belief and sexual orientation.”

This past Wednesday, Drew said the DFA had also learned of UCD’s notice of plans to suspend its popular teacher education program — a K-12 credentialing path offered through Davis’ School of Education. A separate petition challenging that move has also amassed

On KDRT: DSF and ‘Frankenstein’ Special to The Enterprise If 2020 had been a normal year, the Davis Shakespeare Festival would have staged “Frankenstein” this month.

The pandemic eliminated that idea, at least for this year, but Bill Buchanan still talks about the play with DSF co-founder/co-artistic director Rob Salas on the latest edition of the KDRT program “Davisville.”

The play by Nick Dear is based on the book by Mary Shelley, and presents a creature very different than the “green skin and neck bolts” image of the monster in the classic movie.

“Davisville,” hosted by Buchanan, is broadcast on KDRT-LP, 95.7 FM Mondays at 5:30 p.m., Fridays at 12:30 p.m., Saturdays at 8:30 a.m., and Sundays at 12:30 p.m. The talk with Salas will be broadcast through Oct. 25, and is available at http://kdrt. org/davisville or on Apple podcasts.

2,000-plus signatures.

“This cannot happen unilaterally,” Drew said.

“There’s a set of procedures for wrapping up and (closing) down programs.

“For (UCD) to just announce they’re shutting it down immediately, with no consultation — I think it’s a violation of our rights as faculty.”

Surprised by UCD’s statement that PE enrollment figures have been steadily declining, thirdyear student Madison Butler told The Enterprise she’s experienced quite the opposite: “I have to battle other students every quarter to get into PE classes,” the human development major said. “And some quarters I can’t even get in.”

Butler recalled two separate instances she’s been waitlisted and not received a class spot, attempting to enroll in kickboxing and women’s self-defense courses.

While enrollment figures do reflect a decrease over the last several years, PE lecturers have been quick to point out said trend is a result of the university offering less courses, not a decrease in their popularity.

Over the last five years, the number of activity classes offered has decreased by nearly 40 — down from 240 sections of PE-1 in 2014 to just 205 last school year. That’s

largely been the result of a slow attrition, PE Program Director Barbara Jahn explained to The Enterprise earlier this year.

Retiring lecturers have not had their courses replaced, while assistant coaches within UCD’s athletic department have also no longer been required to teach.

With the elimination of the PE program, 40 instructors are set to lose their teaching positions, 27 of whom concurrently serve as intercollegiate athletics coaches.

“Most of the student body has no idea they’re losing this program,” said Claire Klyver, a junior neurobiology, physiololgy and behavior student whose positive experience in one of lecturer Andrea Khoo’s weightlifting courses inspired her to return the following quarter as a teaching assistant.

“It’s frustrating to see how much money we’re paying (for fitness and athletics) compared to other UC schools,” Klyver added.

“But they can’t afford to give us a PE program.”

Thursday night, UCD Provost Mary Croughan responded to the DFA letter, writing that “because the program does not meet the definition of an academic unit ... no formal requirement of Senate action (was necessary) to disestablish the program.”

Croughan added that she had consulted with the Academic Senate Chair, Richard Tucker, recently, and challenged beliefs that PE “courses should be offered for academic credit” and that “the benefits of the PE program justify its budget.”

Agreeing that students benefit from engaging in physical activities, Croughan wrote, “Students will continue to have many opportunities for recreational activities through the Campus Recreation program. I plan to provide supplemental funding to Campus Recreation to ensure that ample programming will remain available for our students and that all students have access to these programs.”

UCD spokesperson Melissa Blouin added that the elimination of the PE program will save the university roughly “$1.3 million, after approximately $1.2 million in campus funds are provided to ICA to pay what was formerly the lecturer portion of coaches’ salaries.”

Blouin said, “SASI was passed by students in 1994 for the specific purpose of supporting ICA and has been used for that purpose continuously since that time. Because SASI funds are not adequate to support the entirety of ICA, campus funds are used as a supplement.”

OBITUARY Marilyn Elen MacGregor Aug. 1, 1926 — Sept. 16, 2020

I am Marilyn MacGregor. My life ended a month-and-a-half after my 94th birthday. With COVID 19 restrictions, the University Retirement Community Skilled Nursing Staff did their best to honor me on my special birthday. I had been under their care for several years.

My life began in Portland, Ore. During my childhood I lived in Longview, Wash., on the Columbia River with my parents Dade and Alta Mae Russell, my little brother Alfred, and my Danish maternal grandmother. We spent some lovely summers at the ocean in that area. I went to Oregon State University and on a bus ride home, I met Neil MacGregor. We struck up an intense conversation over my reading Emily Dickenson.

After receiving my bachelor’s degree from Oregon State in 1949, Neil and I married.

He was a liaison for the U.S. Forest Service to the National Park Service which allowed us to spend winters in the Bay Area and summers in the California National Parks.

We built a house on Grizzly Peak in the Berkeley Hills and lived there for most of our married life until I moved to Davis. I loved being in Berkeley and driving my all time favorite car, an MG model MGA. I had a full and busy career starting at UC Berkeley as secretary to the German department, transferred to psychology, and then became administrative officer of the sociology department. At the same time I was a consultant for the US Office of Personnel Management and developed and taught a course on “Leadership and Women.” With my teaching skills, I switched to staff development, and at the end of 1976, had a

promotional transfer to UC Davis, where I taught a number of courses to staff and faculty including leadership and management skills, time management, effective communication and group dynamics.

Throughout my career I was committed to employees, particularly women and people of color, to improve their opportunities to advance professionally. In 1989 I retired and moved to URC in 2000. I made good use of my organizational skills at URC, serving two years as secretary of the Resident Council and organizer of two URC elections. While in Davis I made many friends who shared my appreciation of fine cuisine and wine and others who were members of my Ski Club at Soda Springs.

I was always a passionate reader, a student of Sherlock Holmes and P.G. Wodehouse, and an active member of Sherlockian Societies and Wodehouse Societies throughout the world. Before retirement I had never traveled abroad and soon became a member of the Lansdowne Club in London. With my interests in Holmes and Wodehouse activities and related organizations, I made dear friends in many different countries, visiting England, Scotland, France, Denmark, Sweden, the Czech Republic, Japan, the Netherlands and Switzerland.

I had many interests in culture and art including the Asian Art Museum, the San Francisco Opera and environmental organizations. I enjoyed life fully and wish that my ashes be scattered outside the Golden Gate, gateway to a city that I truly loved.

It’s time to say goodbye.

“This is a very exciting opportunity for UC Davis to be on the forefront of offering college experiences for young people with disabilities,” said School of Education Dean Lauren E. Lindstrom, who is also a MIND Institute faculty member. “The partnership between the MIND Institute and the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is very innovative.”

There are already hopes of expanding that partnership beyond UC Davis, “with the program serving as a model for other UC and CSU schools,” the press release said. “We should be able to replicate our program across every UC and every CSU, which is unreal and amazing,” Foraker said.

In the coming months, the UC Davis MIND Institute and the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion will hire new staff members to design the curriculum, housing options, the peer mentor program and an outreach system to attract applicants from local schools.

OUTBREAK: Staff, residents tested daily From Page A1 All Alderson residents and staff were tested for COVID-19 on multiple days since Oct. 1 and will be tested every week for the duration of the outbreak, the county said.

All those who have tested positive have been isolated and both residents and their families have been notified of the outbreak, according to the county.

Alderson is one of nine skilled nursing facilities in Yolo County that have experience COVID outbreaks since the pandemic began, according to the county’s online COVID-19 dashboard.

Others include Atria Covell Gardens and Courtyard Healthcare Center in Davis; five other facilities in Woodland and one in West Sacramento.

Those outbreaks have infected 169 people and led to 27 deaths.

The announcement of an outbreak at Alderson on Wednesday came as Yolo County saw its highest single-day case total in more than a month.

The 24 new cases reported on Wednesday included 12 in Woodland, four in Davis, three in West Sacramento, two in Winters and three in unincorporated areas of the county.

The four cases in Davis on Wednesday included two individuals ages 0-17 and two ages 18-24.

Thursday brought seven more cases in the county, including two in Davis.

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE

PETITION: DDBA defends process From Page A1 downtown business ecosystem.”

DISC, the letter said, “is, in effect, a stimulus project for Davis with ripple effects that will uplift businesses throughout our city.

“It possesses huge potential for downtown Davis businesses, with a new base of customers living and working near downtown Davis who can help rejuvenate the vibrancy of our city’s core … It is estimated that employee compensation at DISC will exceed $500 million, and a lot of that money will be available to spend downtown.”

But some 30 downtown merchants have now signed a petition organized by Heather Caswell, owner of The Wardrobe, who has asked the DDBA to rescind its support for Measure B “until the full DDBA membership can be polled in an open, transparent and democratic manner.”

The petition also declares opposition to Measure B, saying the project, which includes retail, hotel and meeting space, “will siphon business tenants and merchant customers away from our downtown core adversely affecting its viability and vitality.

“We therefore are opposed to Measure B which seeks to approve the annexation of prime farmland into the city and the construction of the massive DISC project,” said the letter.

Signatories include an array of downtown businesses ranging from Avid Reader, Newsbeat and Skin Renewal Center to Creme de la Creme, John Natsoulas Gallery, the Mustard Seed, and the Hotdogger.

In an interview Wednesday, Caswell expressed frustration with the DDBA executive board, calling it “irresponsible and not representative of our organization.”

The association is a business improvement district

formed in 1989 that selfassesses annual fees from all business license owners in the district to fund marketing, advocacy, events and more. An 11-member board of directors, elected annually by the more than 600 members, guides the DDBA effort and voted to endorse Measure B. But Caswell said many downtown small business owners have spent the last seven months focused on staying in business during pandemic-induced shutdowns and weren’t aware the DDBA had taken the position on Measure B that it had.

“I really had no idea,” she said. “In my wildest dreams I could never really fathom that an organization would represent our downtown the way they recently have.”

Caswell said she took it upon herself to poll around 20 downtown business owners over two days and “learned that nobody even knew anything about Measure B and that they really appreciated getting more informed and they were really astonished at having no voice against it and no representation.”

“I basically did what the DDBA should have done and polled its members,” Caswell said.

But the DDBA and its executive board remains in support of Measure B and Maresca informed Caswell in an email that they would not be revoting on the matter.

In a statement made on behalf of the DDBA board on Tuesday, Maresca said, “The DDBA greatly values input and feedback from our 600-plus member businesses, and continuously encourages them to be part of the conversation of any and all issues brought to our board.

“We provide dates and times of meetings to attend, information to review, up-to-date resources, and ample time for comments and requests to be made,” Maresca said.

He also reiterated points made by the DDBA in its letter of support for Measure B, saying, “Based on our analysis and feedback related to DISC, the DDBA believes the project will improve quality of life for our members and residents through its considerable contribution to our local economy and many small businesses.

“DISC provides a major opportunity to strengthen our businesses, improve our employees’ earnings and our city’s tax base, which all leads to supporting a vibrant downtown business ecosystem.”

Also weighing in Tuesday was Davis City Councilman Dan Carson, who is active in the city’s effort to pass Measures B. DISC, he said, would be “a big winner for our downtown businesses.”

“Davis business leaders, including the DDBA and the Davis Chamber of Commerce, are overwhelmingly supporting Measure B because they know that it will help our business community and our downtown recover from the COVID recession and generate the new high-tech jobs and economic opportunity we have long needed to become fiscally sustainable,” Carson said.

“An independent economic analysis shows that the economic spillover to our community, beyond that coming directly from the DISC site, would reach $120 million annually, including $40 million in payroll and 700 jobs.

“This is a big winner for our downtown businesses," he said, adding that, "Measure B contains important, legally enforceable protections that allows new retail or hotel space in the DISC project to be built only if it is proven it won’t hurt existing businesses."

Additionally, Carson said, “DISC will provide a shuttle from the project site to the downtown Amtrak station and the UC Davis

campus that will bring new customers and economic vitality to our local business community. It is a perfect fit with our plans to rejuvenate our downtown.”

DISC — on the ballot as Measure B — will mark the sixth time Davis residents have exercised their right to vote on a land use development on the city’s periphery. Since Measure J was first enacted 20 years ago and renewed as Measure R 10 years later, three projects have been defeated at the polls (Covell Village in 2005; Wildhorse Ranch in 2009; and Nishi 1.0 in 2016) and two approved (Nishi 2.0 and the West Davis Active Adult Community, now known as Bretton Woods).

More information about the project, as well as arguments in favor and against, are available at https:// www.cityofdavis.org/cityhall/city-clerk/elections/ november-3-2020general-municipalelection#measures.

The following merchants have have signed on to the petition opposing DISC: The Avid Reader, Bizarro World, Cloud Forest Cafe, Couleurs Vives Art Studio, Creme de la Creme, Cultive Frozen Yogurt, Farmers Kitchen Cafe, Generations Family Footwear, Himalaya Gift Shop, John Natsoulas Gallery, Skin Renewal Center, MyLand Nails and Spa, Natural Food Works, Newsbeat, Optical Phases, Pinkadot, Pomegranete Salon, Sanctuary Salon, Sarah's Alterations and Eco Cleaners, Shu Shu's Clothing and Accessories, Sole Desire Shoes, Studio 355, Tea List, The Hotdogger, The Mustard Seed, The Wardrobe, Tibet Nepal, Treehouse Vintage, Yeti Restaurant and Z1 Properties.

Crops that lack close relatives need less pesticide

BY KATHY KEATLEY GARVEY Enterprise staff writer Persimmons, asparagus, figs and other crops distantly related to native California plants attract fewer pests and diseases than the closer kin, and thus receive fewer pesticide treatments, according to a newly published article by two UC Davis-linked scientists in the Proceedings of the Natural Academy of Sciences.

Co-authors Ian Pearse, a research ecologist with the U.S. Geological Survey and a UC Davis alumnus, and Jay Rosenheim, a UC Davis distinguished professor of entomology, analyzed the 2011-2015 state records of pesticide applications of 93 major California crops.

“We hypothesized that California crops that lack close relatives in the native flora will be attacked by fewer herbivores and pathogens and require less pesticide use,” said Rosenheim, a 32-year member of the UC Davis department of entomology and nematology faculty and a newly elected fellow of the Entomological Society of America.

Rosenheim and Pearse examined the pesticide applications against arthropods, pathogens and weed plants and compiled the data into a comprehensive analysis.

Their findings appear in the PNAS article, “Phylogenetic Escape from Pests Reduces Pesticides on Some Crop Plants,” published Oct. 12. “Phylogenetic relationship” refers to the relative times in the past that species shared common ancestors.

“It is well understood that many of the insect pests and diseases that

Persimmons, like the ones on this Vacaville tree, have very few pests, probably because persimmons have no close relatives in the California native plant community, the study’s authors believe. attack our crops are often invasive species that come from overseas,” Rosenheim explained. “Almost all crops grown in California have been domesticated from wild plants whose area of origin is overseas, and many of the invading pests come from the original home of the wild ancestor of the now domesticated crop plant.

“In contrast, our study focuses on the roughly half of all herbivores and diseases that attack California crops and that are actually native to California. These organisms originally attacked members of the native California flora, but have now shifted to attack a novel host: the crop plant.”

However, “host shifts aren't always easy,” Rosenheim said. “It's relatively easy to shift to attack a close relative of a native host plant, but it's relatively hard to shift to attack a very different host plant.”

Pearse further explained.

“Our study shows that crops like dates, asparagus, figs, kiwis or persimmons that are distantly related to

native California plants — and thus separated by many million years of independent evolution — are colonized by fewer pests and diseases.”

These crop plants, the scientists said, are too different to be attacked readily. As a result, fewer pesticide applications are needed to protect those crops.

“Thus, we can capitalize on an understanding of the evolutionary relatedness of crops and native plants to find crops that will suffer less attack, and that can therefore be grown with less use of toxic pesticides,” Pearse said.

"The crops that require the most pesticide applications are those, like artichokes, blackberries and sweet corn that have close relatives in the Californian flora and are of high economic value per acre."

California's top agricultural crops include almonds, grapes, lettuce, strawberries, tomatoes and walnuts.

Rosenheim said persimmons are a good example

“of the phenomenon we've studied: they have very, very few pests — almost zero in my experience — and that's probably because persimmons have no close relatives in the California native plant community.”

Pearse, a 2005 Fulbright scholar who received his doctorate in ecology from UC Davis in 2011, studying with Professor Rick Karban, joined the U.S. Geological Survey in Fort Collins in 2016. He focuses his research on invasive species and plant-insect interactions.

Rosenheim researches insect ecology, with a focus on host-parasitoid, predator-prey, and plantinsect interactions, with direct applications to biological control.

VIGIL: Coronavirus forces event online From Page A1 Gutierrez is making this year’s event virtual, asking her supporters to light a candle Saturday in memory of her son and either message her photos or post them to their own Facebook pages.

“This is an event to honor my son’s life, not his death,” said Gutierrez, who hopes to host a community gathering in January to celebrate what would have been Rios’ 21st birthday. “I want people to remember him for years to come.”

Moore, who was Rios’ classmate and friend, vanished on Nov. 4, 2016, and is presumed to have met the same fate. Their bodies, said to be buried in rural Knights Landing, have never been found.

His mother, Alicia Moore, could not be reached for comment this week.

June brought the twoyear anniversary of the arrests in the doublehomicide case, including that of ringleader David Froste, who authorities say orchestrated the killings after Moore, 17, robbed him of a jar of marijuana and fled. His accused cohorts, Jesus Campos and Chandale Shannon Jr., witnessed the holdup.

According to court documents and trial testimony, the trio contacted Rios, 16, after they failed to track down Moore after the robbery. But when Rios refused to lure Moore to them, David Froste fatally shot him.

Froste’s brother, Jonathan “Jay” Froste, joined the threesome several weeks later when the group encountered Moore in Woodland, abducting him and driving him to a remote area of Knights Landing where he was bludgeoned to death, authorities allege.

Two of the defendants, Shannon and Jay Froste, admitted to the foursome’s roles in the murders in jailhouse interviews with The Davis Enterprise following their arrests. Jay Froste took a plea deal in which he admitted to seconddegree murder in exchange for his testimony against the others, including his brother, who was convicted of both killings and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole in November 2018.

Trial proceedings for Campos and Shannon currently are scheduled to begin in February 2021.

Both also are due to appear Friday in Yolo Superior Court, where Judge David Rosenberg is expected to rule whether their cases should be tried together or separately.

Gutierrez says she is hoping for a joint trial.

“It’s frustrating, because we have to keep going through these things over and over again,” she said. “I just want to focus on finding my son and bringing him home.”

EATERY: Spot has been vacant since 2016 From Page A1 agreed, saying, “it is a little weird to have formula fast-food called out as a particular business for this line of review.”

Founded in 1996, Raising Cane’s has around 500 outlets across the country with a menu consisting primarily of chicken fingers, chicken sandwiches, fries and toast.

Proposed hours for the Davis location are 9 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and 9 a.m. to 3:30 a.m. Friday and Saturday.

“The applicant notes that the demographics of their clientele draws from a wide range of ages and is not limited to college students,” city staff noted in the report prepared for Wednesday’s commission meeting.

“They expressed their eagerness to fill a downtown space that has been

vacant since 2016 and to help reenergize the site.

The applicant feels that they have something different to offer and can benefit the community.”

The property in question is owned by the Browman Development Company, which purchased the building along with a number of other downtown properties from the Brinley family in early 2016.

Watermelon Music had occupied the space for many years but relocated to West Davis not long after Browman purchased the property.

Approval of the conditional use permit Wednesday will stand unless appealed to the City Council.

However, there was no opposition to the proposal voiced during the Planning Commission meeting on Wednesday.

Think outside the box

Special to The Enterprise

Pandemic impacts animal adoptions

BY EVELYN DALE Special to The Enterprise

E

xtraordinary times can produce extraordinary innovation. That’s what’s been happening in the animal-welfare world. In July, Paws For Thought focused on how the pandemic has changed animal sheltering for the better. Realizing shelters needed to evacuate their pets in March, their communities stepped up and fostered the pets in their homes and continue to do so today.

Well, one extraordinary idea deserves another. Human Animal Support Services, https://www. humananimalsupportservices.org, is a new animal-welfare organization aiming to turn animal sheltering upside down by providing support services to people and their pets before their pets enter animal shelters.

HASS is an international coalition of animal shelter leaders and animal welfare organizations working together to reduce the number of animals in shelters through innovative programs that support social justice for people and their pets regardless of their cultural or financial status.

Greater support for more people and their pets means fewer pets entering shelters, resulting in more kennels available to temporarily house pets during disasters or economic downturns. Of course, shelters will still need to house animals needing urgent medical care, are in abusive or hoarding situations, or are a danger to the community.

As Gina Knepp, a member of the HASS Executive Leadership group and National Shelter Engagement Director for the Michelson Found Animals Foundation, observes, “It’s truly about shifting our focus from animals to both ends of the leash, recognizing that people are a huge component of our success.

PAWS FOR THOUGHT lifesaving cannot be accomplished without community involvement.”

HASS currently supports a twophased pilot program. Phase 1 has animal shelters across the nation including four from California — Los Angeles Animal Services, Oakland Animal Services, Fresno Humane Animal Services and San Diego Humane Society. These shelters are testing new resources and programs including remote services like veterinary telehealth and text support, comprehensive stray and lost-pet return services, self-rehoming assistance for people who cannot keep their pets, and communitybased animal protection services.

Phase 2 involves shelters that implement some HASS programs while preparing to include all of them in the future.

Supporting pet parents regardless of their financial, racial or ethnic status or their pet’s appearance not only greatly reduces the number of animals in shelters, it gives shelter staff time for community outreach activities that help people and their pets.

Bottom line: It’s a win for the community, a win for pets and their people, and a win for shelters and their staff!

Happy Tails Ready to safely celebrate Halloween with your pet? How about its adoption? Jeremy Danielson adopted Jack the cat from Yolo County Animal Services eight years ago on Halloween.

Jeremy writes, “Jack was around 5 when I adopted him. He was new to the shelter so he was not out with the other cats. I asked if they had older cats. They showed me him. I tickled his belly and he love-bit me. I knew he was the cat for me.

“Jack likes to slide across the wood floor when we are in bed. We have caught him a few times. He also likes to move the kids’ toys. Probably playing with them at night. When I wake up in the morning, he is by my side.

“I adopt older pets because they need families to love them just as much as a young pet. I believe they need more love because they have unknown history that may have caused traumas. We can make the rest of their life comfortable and full of love.”

Here’s to a safe and boo-tiful Halloween for all pets!

NorCal Boxer Rescue joins virtual Strut Your Mutt Day Special to The Enterprise NorCal Boxer Rescue, headquartered in Davis, is among the top groups leading the pack in raising funds for its lifesaving work through Best Friends Virtual Strut Your Mutt Day. So far NorCal Boxer Rescue has raised over $55,000, and fundraising runs through Oct. 31.

NorCal Boxer Rescue, along with hundreds of animal rescue groups across the country, is participating in the Best Friends Animal Society’s Strut Your Mutt Day, the virtual walk and fundraising event that saves the lives of dogs and cats in communities across the country.

Launching more than two decades ago in Salt Lake City, Best Friends Strut Your Mutt expanded to several cities across the nation in 2010 with a commitment to help Best Friends Network partners raise critical funds for their lifesaving work. But Best Friends realized that this successful fundraising event did not have to be tied to a few geographical venues and added Strut Your Mutt Day in 2011 as a virtual fundraising platform that Best Friends Network partners everywhere could tailor to their needs. This year more than ever, the virtual Strut Your Mutt Day is an important tool to help animal shelters and rescue groups raise money toward saving the lives of homeless dogs and cats.

Rebecca Genauer, NorCal Boxer Rescue’s Strut Your Mutt team captain, said, “We at NorCal Boxer

Lots of animals are waiting for “forever homes” at the Yolo County Animal Shelter, 2640 E. Gibson Road in Woodland.

Among them is Scrappy Doo (A182673), a chill, sweet little kitten who just wants to be near you. He was hard to get a picture of because he insisted on getting up close for cuddles! He also doesn’t mind being held or being showered with attention.

Also hoping for a good home is Sloth (A182895), a 7-year-old pitty looking to live out his retirement years in comfort.

He is calm, walks well on leash and will sit when asked. He needs a good diet to help him get healthy again after a difficult past. Email adoptycas@ gmail.com to set up a meeting.

All shelter animals are up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, and spayed or neutered.

The shelter is closed to the public for nonemergencies but the staff is available to assist at 530668-5287 during new temporary hours: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Monday to Friday and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays.

For information, visit www.petfinder.com/ member/us/ca/woodland/yolo-county-animalservices-ca283/.

At Rotts of Friends Animal Rescue, you’ll find Lenox, a 3-yearold neutered male black-and-tan Doberman. He’s as sweet as he is handsome. Lenox walks well on leash and comes with free lifetime obedience training.

Janette is a beautiful 1-yearold spayed female Rottweiler. She is extremely friendly but just needs training. Janette is full of fun and loves to play.

The next Rotts of Friends’ adoption event is from 8 to 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 17, 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.

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

ust in Time for Halloween, Davis Musical Theatre Company will present Mel Brooks’ “Young Frankenstein,” the musical, virtually (underwritten by Dave and Rachel Lyman).

The show will open on Facebook Live, this Friday, Oct. 16, and run through Sunday, Oct. 25.

“Young Frankenstein,” originally scheduled to run in April, shut down due to the pandemic. DMTC is now going virtual until the Davis theater company can perform in person.

This is a free event, but DMTC is gratefully accepting donations since this currently is its only source of income.

Steve Isaacson will direct, with Andi Bourquin handling choreography and Jonathan Rothman directing music.

This production may not be suitable for young ones.

Grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein, Frederick Frankenstein (pronounced “Fronkensteen”) inherits his family’s estate in Transylvania.

With the help of a hunchbacked sidekick, Igor (pronounced “Eyegore”), and a leggy lab assistant, Inga (pronounced normally) and the weird housekeeper Frau Blucher (insert horse whinny here!), and Hugo Figueroa as the lovable Monster, Frederick finds himself in the mad

scientist shoes of his ancestors.

“It’s alive!” he exclaims as he brings to life a creature to rival his Grandfather’s. Eventually, of course, the monster escapes and hilarity continuously abounds.

“This show should be every bit as relevant to audience members who will remember the original as it will be to newcomers,” Isaacson said. “‘Young Frankenstein’ has all of the panache of the screen sensation with a little extra theatrical flair

“This show should be every bit as relevant to audience members who will remember the original as it will be to newcomers. ‘Young Frankenstein’ has all of the panache of the screen sensation with a little extra theatrical flair added.”

Steve Isaacson Show’s director added. “It will surely be the perfect opportunity for

a production company to showcase an array

of talents.”

With such memorable tunes as “The Transylvania Mania,” “He Vas My Boyfriend” and “Puttin’ on the Ritz,” Young Frankenstein is “scientifically proven, monstrously good entertainment.”

Condemned! Some banned films became classics

BY DERRICK BANG Enterprise film critic Until the Motion Picture Association of America introduced standardized ratings in 1968, most states — and many individual cities — had their own film censorship boards to protect innocent citizens from “immoral, obscene, indecent or gruesome motion pictures.”

Some of these regulatory bodies dated back to the turn of the 20th century, when “motion pictures” were nothing more than nickelodeons and oneminute documentary-style “actualities” of parades, boxing matches, overviews of Niagara Falls and so forth.

Vermont and West Virginia were outliers, with essentially no censorship boards. Other states, such as Tennessee and Massachusetts — hence the phrase, “Banned in Boston” — censored and denied access to films with the enthusiasm of a fire-andbrimstone preacher (and many censorship boards were staffed by such individuals).

But these actions were arbitrary and wildly inconsistent, from state to state.

The Roman Catholic Church was dissatisfied; it did no good if a film banned in Ohio could be viewed by folks crossing the state line into Pennsylvania. This resulted in the creation of the National Legion of Decency, which from 1936 to ’78 assigned every film a rating of A, B or C — the latter regarded as “condemned,” and therefore forbidden to Catholic viewers.

Wary of angering the Church, Hollywood studios initially self-censored story content. As a result, for most of the first decade, condemned films were solely foreign imports, such as Czechoslovakia’s “Ecstasy” or home-grown exploitation films such as “The Wages of Sin” and “Reefer Madness.”

This changed in 1943, with the arrival of Howard Hughes’ notorious “The Outlaw,” a rather pedestrian re-imagining of Western lore’s Pat Garrett/Billy the Kid confrontation, which gained its notoriety for the manner in which cinematographer Gregg Toland’s camera leered at co-star Jane Russell’s ample cleavage. (Matters probably weren’t helped by the promotional tagline: “How’d you like to tussle with Russell??”)

“The Outlaw” really wasn’t worth anybody’s time, but that wasn’t true of numerous condemned films to follow, in a postWWII environment that found adults demanding more challenging, provocative fare that dealt with real-world issues, however uncomfortable. Let’s consider some of the best

examples — all available via Amazon Prime and other streaming services — and, as you’ll see, the stigma of a C rating didn’t prevent some films from becoming Academy Award-winning classics.

Few movies provoked the pulpit-fulminating fury that greeted 1956’s “Baby Doll.” Director Elia Kazan’s salacious slice of Southern Gothic was notorious even before its release, thanks to a New York promotional billboard that featured the image of scantily dressed star Carroll Baker stretched out in a ramshackle crib, sucking her thumb.

Boris Kaufman’s moody, often steamy black-andwhite cinematography contributes greatly to the overall atmosphere of decay that permeates every frame of this deliciously sordid and scandalous saga.

Kaufman earned a richly deserved Academy Award nomination, as did Baker, supporting actress Mildred Dunnock and screenwriter Tennessee Williams.

The central figure is Mississippi Delta cotton-gin owner Archie Lee Meighan (Karl Malden), a middleaged alcoholic at the brink of financial ruin, thanks to the arrival of Sicilian Silva Vacarro (Eli Wallach), whose modern “cotton syndicate” has put many of the local, family-run gin operations out of business. Two years earlier, Archie Lee married the much younger, white trash, dumb-as-apost Baby Doll (Baker), who agreed to the union only if he waited until her 20th birthday — now mere days away — to consummate the relationship.

Viewing the revival of his business as the only means of regaining Baby Doll’s respect (as if ), Archie Lee sneaks out one night and sets fire to Vacarro’s gin, burning the structure to the ground. The Sicilian subsequently orchestrates a crafty revenge scheme that leaves him alone with Baby Doll for an entire afternoon.

The brouhaha greeting this film’s release had a chilling effect on Hollywood for the next several years, perhaps most (in) famously, Stanley Kubrick heavily re-edited 1960’s “Spartacus” to avoid a C rating. (The deleted scenes were reinstated for the film’s 1991 restoration.)

As a result, no further mainstream American release ran afoul of the National Legion of Decency until 1964’s “The Pawnbroker” — and director Sidney Lumet wasn’t about to cut his film in order to appease the Legion.

The story, set in the early 1960s, is quite grim.

Sol Nazerman (Oscarnominated Rod Steiger) hasn’t ever forgiven himself for having endured the Holocaust, after losing his

Leo Bloom (Gene Wilder, right) watches apprehensively as his partner, Max Bialystock (Zero Mostel), embraces one of the perks in their new partnership.

At this early stage, Duane (Jeff Bridges) has no idea how much his scheming, self-centered girlfriend Jacy (Cybill Shepherd) will ruin his life in the next few months. wife and two children in the concentration camps.

(Lumet’s drama was the first American film to depict the Holocaust from the viewpoint of a survivor.)

He has carved out a living as a pawnshop owner in East Harlem, where — having completely stifled his emotions — he handles customers with mechanical, even brutal detachment. He’s indifferent to the cheerful enthusiasm of young assistant Jesus Ortiz (Jaime Sanchez), and blatantly hostile to friendly advances made by a local social worker (Geraldine Fitzgerald). Sol doesn’t even mind his shop being used as a front by a local racketeer (Brock Peters, as Rodriguez).

Sol’s stiff façade finally cracks when he learns that Rodriguez earns some of his money through prostitution, which triggers a memory of Sol’s wife being raped by Nazi soldiers. But the subsequent epiphany doesn’t arrive quickly enough: Jesus, having endured too much of his boss’ bitter misanthropy,

Pawnbroker Sol Nazerman (Rod Steiger, left), completely cut off from his emotions in an effort to eradicate memories he cannot face, is unapologetically harsh with even hard-luck customers.

accepts a local street gang’s suggestion to rob the pawnshop.

It’s worth noting that “The Pawnbroker” marked Quincy Jones’ debut as a Hollywood film soundtrack composer.

Not even Mel Brooks could have imagined the longevity that “The Producers” would enjoy. The 1967 hit was a gamechanger that alternately delighted and dismayed patrons. (A musical comedy — about Adolf Hitler and Nazis?!?) Brooks won a well-deserved Oscar for his original script; Gene Wilder also earned a nomination as Leo Bloom, the nebbish accountant talked

by Broadway producer Max Bialystock (Zero Mostel) into a scheme to make money by overselling shares in a “sure-fire flop.”

The film became a classic within the next decade — igniting a trend in savvy comedies that turn realworld scoundrels and despots into buffoons via sharp satire — which begat a Tony Award-winning stage hit in 2001, which in turn became a film in 2005. The C rating didn’t slow it down a jot.

Former film critic and historian Peter Bogdanovich made a stunning mainstream directorial debut with his 1971 adaptation of Larry McMurtry’s semiautobiographical 1966 novel, “The Last Picture Show.” (Bogdanovich also helmed the low-budget “Targets” back in 1968.)

The shattering, relentless dour narrative, taking place during a single year from November 1951 to October 1952, is set in a forlorn North Texas town slowly

dying from cultural and economic isolation.

The ensemble cast is stunning: one of the rare films that caught an impressive number of talented actors on the rise.

Consider: Jeff Bridges, Timothy Bottoms, Ellen Burstyn, Cybill Shepherd, Sam Bottoms and Randy Quaid, alongside veterans Ben Johnson and Cloris Leachman. The latter two won both supporting-actor Oscars, where Bridge and Burstyn also were nominated, as was Bogdanovich (director and script) and cinematographer Robert Surtees, whose monochromatic work made the setting even more bleak.

The coming-of-age saga ostensibly focuses on high school seniors and longtime friends Duane Johnson (Bridges) and Sonny Crawford (Bottoms), but the film’s power derives from the multiplicity of brilliantly sculpted characters within their orbit. It’s hard to watch more than once.

The Legion of Decency was losing its influence by the time 1972’s “The Carey Treatment” came along.

This film’s pedigree is almost more interesting than what ultimately landed on the big screen.

Michael Crichton published “A Case of Need” in 1969, the same year he graduated from Harvard Medical School. Since the medical thriller is set at a Boston hospital, with many of the sidebar characters based on people he had encountered while completing clinical rotations at Boston City Hospital, he felt it prudent to conceal himself behind the pseudonym

Jeffrey Hudson.

That ruse was exposed when the book won the 1969 Edgar Award for Best Novel, an honor Crichton couldn’t resist collecting in person. Screen rights were picked up by MGM, and the resulting film adaptation, as “The Carey Treatment,” was assigned to director Blake Edwards.

Production was notoriously acrimonious, with Edwards repeatedly harassed by producer William Belasco and MGM studio head James Aubrey; the completed film was removed from Edwards’ control and savagely edited down to 101 minutes, leaving all sorts of essential exposition on the cutting-room floor.

Edwards sued to have his name removed, but lost, and his anger led to a selfimposed 10-year exile from Hollywood; he exorcised those demons with 1981’s “S.O.B.,” a thinly veiled satire of his treatment by Aubrey.

Although visibly flawed, “The Carey Treatment” remains engaging. James Coburn stars as pathologist Peter Carey, who begins a new job at a Boston hospital, where he’s reunited with longtime friend Dr. David Tao (James Hong).

The latter is arrested for murder after the hospital chief ’s 15-year-old daughter dies following a botched abortion, Tao having been known to clandestinely perform this still-illegal procedure (which triggered the C rating).

But the medical details of the girl’s death raise too many questions, on top of Carey’s refusal to believe that his friend, a skilled surgeon, could have butchered any patient so badly.

The subsequent personal inquiry makes the cocky, arrogant Carey look and sound like a hard-charging, Chanderesque private detective in lab whites, rather than anything remotely resembling an actual doctor; even so, Coburn treats the role seriously.

After tagging 1978’s “Dawn of the Dead,” “Pretty Baby,” “Same Time, Next Year’ and “Ice Castles” (say what?!) with C ratings, the National Legion of Decency ceased operations two years later.

‘Summerland’: A deeply emotional sojourn Strong cast highlights this cleverly scripted period drama

‘Summerland’ Starring: Gemma Arterton, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Lucas Bond, Tom Courtenay, Dixie Egerickx, Penelope Wilton and Jessica Gunning Rating: PG, for no particular reason

BY DERRICK BANG Enterprise film critic I marvel at the variety and emotional sensitivity of World War II-based dramas that continue to arrive from across the pond.

Clearly, several generations of our British cousins continue to be profoundly impacted by the Blitz, which terrified the London populace for eight harrowing months, from September 1940 through May 1941. (And a noisy subset of Americans complain that the sensible request to wear a mask is too restrictive?

Please.)

Writer/director Jessica Swale’s engaging and clever scripted “Summerland” — available via Amazon Prime and other streaming platforms — focuses on this era through the lens of yet another fresh perspective.

Her film is fueled by a richly nuanced performance from star Gemma Arterton, who — in turn — is surrounded by a talented ensemble cast that brings this drama to vibrant life.

The setting is a tiny community nestled along the seaside cliffs of Southern England’s Kent district; the story’s catalyst is “Operation Pied Piper,” the mass evacuations designed to keep children safe in outlying rural locations during the Blitz, while their parents remained behind in cities across Britain.

Alice Lamb (Arterton) is a reclusive researcher/ writer who lives in a quaint home overlooking the ocean. She’s constantly tormented by local children: in part because they always get such a furious rise out of her; and also because

MICHAEL WHARLEY/COURTESY PHOTO

As Alice (Gemma Arterton) grows more tolerant of Frank’s (Lucas Bond) presence, she becomes more willing to share her interest in the fascinating atmospheric phenomenon known as Fata Morgana mirages. much of the community suspects she might be a “Nazi spy.” (Not really. But tongues do wag…)

Her isolation is rudely interrupted when she’s assigned a young boy — Lucas Bond, as Frank — who arrives in the newest wave of displaced children.

Alice is furious, wanting no part of such an intrusion; the townsfolk — led by genial school headmaster Mr. Sullivan (the quietly excellent Tom Courtenay) — are equally firm. She must do her part.

Fine, she replies waspishly, but only for one week: until you can find him another home.

We cringe during these early scenes, because Alice doesn’t even try to conceal her disgust over the situation in general, and poor Frank in particular; she couldn’t care less if his feelings get bruised. But — intriguingly — he’s a remarkably resilient boy, and he accepts her hostility with equanimity (although

Bond ensures that we see the distress in his gaze when Alice isn’t looking).

But the unrepentantly cruel Alice soon gains our sympathy, as we realize that her behavior is generated not by blunt selfishness, but by the hardened bitterness of one whose heart has been broken. Frank is a similarly wounded sparrow whose presence kindles memories of the circumstances that led her to such an isolated existence. Swale initially teases us, via fleeting flashbacks, of the “forbidden” affair that took place during Alice’s university years.

Details eventually emerge, of the incandescent love that ignited between her and fellow student Vera (Gugu Mbatha-Raw). Alice is luminescent in these scenes, Arterton’s expression suffused with the warm glow of soul-deep happiness. Swale depicts this relationship matter-offactly, as if it’s the most

natural thing in the world — which of course it is, on the most important level.

But not in the 1920s.

In the present, Alice — despite herself — can’t help bonding with Frank. He’s an inquisitive, intelligent and sensitive lad: eager to learn more about her scholarly interest in Fata Morgana mirages (complex images — full buildings, even — seen “hovering” above the ocean horizon, under specific weather conditions). She, in turn, helps him build wooden model airplanes, going so far as to paint decals on their wings.

(This is the point at which we know her heart is thawing.)

Bond makes Frank persuasively earnest, (mostly) cheerful and eager to please; one can’t help liking him. But he also has a serious, sober side, particularly when he talks about his parents.

In school, Frank befriends Edie (Dixie Egerickx), a feisty little girl who

styles herself as a free spirit (much to the vexation of her teacher). It’s unclear whether she’s a good choice for Frank; her eyes are wily and untrustworthy, and she has a spiteful side wholly at odds with his gentle nature.

She also reflexively dismisses Alice as “a witch,” which doesn’t endear her to him (or us).

And yet Swale coaxes a similarly subtle performance from Egerickx. Edie “acts out” because she’s a lonely and isolated child; we sense that even the smallest bit of kindness might soften her rougher edges.

We assume that the story’s dramatic tension will revolve solely on the question of whether Alice truly will send Frank packing, after a single week. Ah, but no: Swale has much more poignant fish to fry, along with a couple of narrative jolts.

We’re reminded of one of life’s harder lessons: Sometimes, when it’s necessary

to do or say something, you’re damned if you do, and equally damned if you don’t. This plays out in calamitous fashion, Arterton delivering Alice’s mounting anguish with palpable physical pain; she once again becomes the deeply emotional woman she has tried to bury, for lo these many years.

I love all the surprises — large and small — that Swale packs into her script.

The bucolic countryside setting is captured brilliantly by cinematographer Laurie Rose, who often frames her establishing shots against the region’s imposing white cliffs. Production designer Christina Moore takes equal care with Alice’s home, which has the slightly disheveled look that results from a resident too frequently focused on her work, and laden with shelves that groan beneath the weight of books.

It should be mentioned, as well, that Arterton looks and behaves every inch the obsessed writer: furious typing, dangling cigarette, grimly focused expression, frequent dives into the half a dozen books and manuscripts that litter her workspace.

“Summerland” is wholly absorbing throughout, and it builds to a powerful conclusion (with an equally poignant epilogue). This is an impressive feature debut for Swale, and I can’t wait to see what she does next.

‘Fisherman’s Friends’: This one is quite a catch!

Delightful dramedy showcases real-life folk-singing troupe

‘Fisherman’s Friends’

BY DERRICK BANG

Starring: James Purefoy, Daniel Mays, Tuppence Middleton, Maggie Steed, Sam Swainsbury, David Hayman, Dave Johns and Noel Clarke Rating: PG-13, and much too harshly, for fleeting profanity

Enterprise film critic You can’t get much more charming than this one.

Director Chris Foggin’s gently amiable comedy, available via Amazon Prime and other streaming services, gets additional sizzle from its factual origins. Scripters Piers Ashworth, Meg Leonard and Nick Moorcroft based their story — while adding a sweet romantic subplot — on the “discovery” of the actual Fisherman’s Friends, a group of Cornish fishermen who, for the past quarter-century, have met on the Platt (harbor) in their native Port Isaac, raising money for charity by singing traditional sea shanties.

They signed a major record deal in 2010; their debut album went gold, as they became the first traditional folk act to land a Top 10 album in the UK. You can’t ask for a better premise on which to hang a typically droll touch of British whimsy.

A quartet of cynical, fastliving, London-based music executives, led by patronizing boss Troy (Noel Clarke), descend on Port Isaac for a “stag weekend” prior to one of their own getting married. They couldn’t be more insufferably arrogant, prompting the locals to dismiss them as useless tossers (with several deliciously arch insults hurled in their direction).

The newcomers also

COURTESY PHOTO

Hoping to impress his rugged hosts, Danny (Daniel Mays) nervously rises at the crack of dawn, in order to join a gaggle of men during a typical morning at sea. prove helpless when it comes to simple ocean activities such as stand-up paddleboarding, further irritating the townsfolk by necessitating a rescue at sea.

Having quickly lost interest in these “boring” surroundings, Troy and his mates perk up when they happen upon the local fishermen’s weekly pier-side concert (“the rock ’n’ roll of 1752”). But the performance quality cannot be denied; Troy encourages colleague Danny (Daniel Mays) to chat the group up, in the hopes of signing them to a contract.

This proves useless, of course; the cheerfully unruly, mildly grumpy men, led by nominal spokesman Jim (James Purefoy), can’t begin to take this big-city clown seriously. Indeed, they laugh him out of the pub

(which actually happened to London record executive Ian Brown, the real-life Friends’ manager, on whom Danny is loosely based).

Worse yet, Danny doesn’t realize that he’s been pranked; Troy has no intention of “wasting time” with the fishermen, and in fact hastily departs with his two other mates, deliberately leaving Danny behind (which makes Troy a wanker, rather than a tosser).

Danny, not yet aware of his plight, carries on trying to woo the rugged Post Isaac singers.

The well-cast Mays is perfect in this role; everything about Danny — his manner, his clothing, the way he carries himself — screams insincere opportunist, and his mousy physique sets him further apart from the hardy locals.

Jim and his mates can smell the smarm (and so can we).

But Danny perseveres, and his earnest, puppy-dog gaze is as persuasive as his silver-tongued promises.

Doing his best to show respect — by joining some of the men on a day of ocean work — also earns grudging admiration. Jim and the others finally agree to record an album’s worth of songs.

During this process — and we knew it was coming — Danny quickly succumbs to the allure of these centuries-old shanties, and soon believes in his mission to promote this unlikely “boy band.” Which does not sit well with Troy, back in London.

Danny’s presence and behavior throughout have alternately amused and exasperated Jim’s adult daughter, Alwyn (Tuppence

Middleton), a single mother with an adorable young daughter (Meadow Nobrega, as Tamsyn). She thaws as time passes, and Jim uneasily senses where that is heading. Middleton is a sparkling presence, and her blossoming oil-andvinegar relationship with Danny is quite sweet.

Purefoy is terrific as the shrewdly observant Jim, whose imposing presence somehow makes him seem larger than he already is.

Purefoy deftly maneuvers his character’s many roles: as watchful guardian of the Friends, doting parent to Alwyn, and — eventually — wary friend to Danny.

Additional dramatic tension is supplied by Rowan (Sam Swainsbury), the youngest member of the Friends, and owner of the town’s sole — and much beloved — pub, the Golden Lion. Unfortunately, business can’t match rising expenses; as a newly minted father, responsible for a wife (Mae Voogd) and child, he fears losing the pub to creditors.

Each of the actors playing the various Friends

establishes a strong presence. Standouts include David Hayman, as Jim’s father Jago, a crusty coot with a tart tongue and unerring sense of comic timing; and Dave Johns as the ancient Leadville, a font of local wisdom. The venerable Maggie Steed is similarly strong as Maggie, the local matriarch, who tends bar at the Golden Lion.

All of the actual Fisherman’s Friends also pop up in the background, as the film proceeds (primarily as members of the opposing team, during a pub quiz).

The numerous songs are an equally important character; we’re treated to lengthy renditions of classics such as “Keep Hauling,” “Blow the Man Down,” “Nelson’s Blood,” “Widow Woman” and many, many more. The film almost becomes a musical, but not quite; the performances are cleverly integrated into the developing narrative.

Cinematographer Simon Tindall emphasizes this seaside community’s colorful, old-world charm, and fans of British TV will experience a burst of déjà vu; Port Isaac is the realworld setting of the fictitious Portwenn, home of “Doc Martin.”

This film is certain to further goose sales of the actual Friends’ already popular albums, and there’s talk of a sequel, to be set during the group’s first tour of South Australia.

It can’t come quickly enough.

B4 THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2020

Chad Mayes gives ‘top two’ its biggest test H ere’s a situation California’s 10-year-old “top two” primary seemingly was designed for: A three-term Republican assemblyman from what once was a “safe” GOP district defies his party, goes independent and gets a spot on the November runoff ballot against another Republican.

Back when they were advocating for the 2010 Proposition 10 and the top-two system it created, sometimes called the “jungle primary,” former Gov. Arnold Schwarznegger and Lt. Gov. Abel Maldonado, both moderate Republicans, insisted it would give minority party voters a significant say in districts otherwise dominated by either Democrats or Republicans.

Now look at the Redlands-to-the-desert Assembly District 42 in the state’s Inland Empire, where former Republican Chad Mayes faces Republican Andrew Kotyuk in

the November runoff.

Mayes, now registered with no party preference, as are about one-fourth of all California voters, pulled about 35 percent of the primary vote to just a bit less for Republican Kotyuk, who entered the race on the last possible day — because that’s when Mayes renounced his membership in the GOP. Republican officials reacted very quickly, almost instantly gathering the needed signatures to put San Jacinto Mayor Kotyuk on the ballot.

Although he’s never said it, Mayes likely timed his announcement in hopes it would preclude his drawing a GOP opponent.

LETTERS Prop. 15 by the numbers According to the California Teachers’ Association, “The Schools & Communities First” initiative, Proposition 15 on the November ballot, will close corporate property tax loopholes to reclaim billions every year for California’s K-12 schools, community colleges, and local communities — all while exempting homeowners and renters, small businesses and agricultural land.

The estimated funding your school district will receive if Proposition 15 passes is as follows: Davis: $4,651,287 Esparto: $662,851 Washington: $5,092,705 Winters: $1,034,140 Woodland: $6,381,162 Yolo County Office of Ed: $344,788 Sherrill Futrell Davis

Arnold leads with compassion We are so proud to support Will Arnold to be re-elected to our City Council. He leads with compassion and love, which is so important right now. We wish Will all the best and hope he can be our mayor. He is truly a kind man and deserves to be re-elected.

Vote for Horton As a 30-year resident of Davis, I am excited to support Dillan Horton for Davis City Council, District 2. I moved here in 1989 to attend law school. Dillan also moved here to attend UC Davis as an undergraduate, and he has stayed here and become a vibrant, active resident of the city of Davis and Yolo County.

His first job after college was working for Congressman John Garamendi’s reelection campaign. Currently, Dillan serves as vice-chair of the Yolo County Democratic Central Committee.

It is Dillan’s day job that speaks to my heart. Dillan works for a local nonprofit that assists Davis residents who have developmental disabilities with their community participation and employment. As a person with a disability myself, I know that laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act provide people with rights that are often not

He didn’t get that wish.

Still, he siphoned more than enough votes away from the only Democrat in the race, Hemet lawyer DeniAntionette Mazingo, to make the runoff against Kotyuk, a conventional Republican whose website proclaims the standard GOP contention that “Sacramento elites are hurting hard-working taxpayers.”

Mayes, once the Republican leader in the state Assembly, was forced out of that post after he broke with the party’s longtime stance against California’s cap-and-trade program aimed at reducing greenhouse gases and climate change and voted in 2017 to continue it.

He survived the 2018 midterm election despite that, with some support from Democratic voters in the district. To win this fall, he will need plenty of support from Democrats who voted last spring for Mazingo.

It’s uncertain whether

Y

es, there have been plenty of Democraton-Democrat and Republican-vs.-Republican races, but until now California had not seen an apostate member of one party depend on voters from the other party for survival.

In some cases, including the Santa Clarita-area 25th Congressional District, where Democratic Assemblywoman Christy Smith is trying to unseat Republican Mike Garcia, who last spring beat her in a special election for a vacated seat, two Republicans have combined to

almost become the leading primary vote-getters in districts where voter registration for the big parties is about even. Smith hopes the large presidential election turnout will let her reverse the spring outcome.

But no member of a major party has ever faced off against an independent. In fact, independents have griped for years that the jungle primary discriminates against them.

The best rejoinder to that was always that independents needed to find candidates with wider appeal, and Mayes may have given them one.

Now the question is whether Mayes, who has joined Schwarzenegger’s nascent centrist advocacy group New Way California, can continue to pick up votes from both Democrats and independents.

Since Mayes has sometimes criticized President Trump, who shares the fall ballot with him, it’s

entirely possible moderate Republican “Never Trumpers” may vote his way, even if they’re holding their noses and after all instinctively voting for Trump, their fellow Republican.

If Mayes can put together a coalition of moderates, independents, Republicans and Democrats, he will demonstrate for the first time that it can be done. Which would mean there really is a possibility that at least some California politicians won’t have to worry about party backing in the future. The November results will tell a lot.

actualized, and it’s people like Dillan and the organization he works for that make sure the promise of the ADA is realized.

Finally, when Dillan is elected, he will be the first black person to serve on the Davis City Council. I am looking forward to that day.

Dillan understands the importance of equity and full inclusivity for all!

Young voter for Deos I’ve grown up in Davis my whole life and am finally old enough to vote for leadership in my home town and beyond. One thing I’m looking for is more representation by women and people of color here in Yolo County. I met Linda Deos last year at a house party in my neighborhood that was hosted so that people could get to know her.

She was super interested in hearing my thoughts as a young person and a college student. She listened as I shared what was important to me and I left believing that she’s the candidate to put on the Board.

This is a shout out to the young people in Davis who will be voting in November to do some research and see what Linda Deos brings. I’ll be signing my ballot with a check next to Linda’s name. I hope you’ll do the same.

Go with Guenther Vote for Larry Guenther for City Council. The Council needs more voices committed to more transparency and procedural reform.

Larry Guenther is committed to being that kind of voice. The city needs a healthy balance of the “expert” recommendations of staff and the considerable real subject matter expertise of the community and its citizen commissions.

The Cannery project, with its litany of developer miscalculations and repeated applications for reconsideration of their everchanging plan, is a textbook example of failure in transparency and procedure. Cannery is just one example of a continued pattern of failure that is a huge problem for the city and its residents. All across the city, we have been saddled with months-long traffic problems and extra expenses without meeting our need for low-income housing.

We need a city that does not regard the General Plan as an invitation to developers to come in with a half-baked request for an exception. The City Council needs to represent its electorate.

There is a long history of the City Council’s development decisions that documents its failure to do so. This goes all the way back to the saving of Central Park and the great Farmers’ Market we now have there. If the City Council had had its way in 1986, we would have a three-tiered shopping mall, with incalculable damage to downtown business, crawling traffic and more climate-carbon footprint.

We really have to get past the “business as usual” mentality, and Guenther will help us do that.

Support Frerichs, Asmundson and Hyder Voting has never been more important, and local races are just as crucial as national. We’re lucky to have great candidates running for elected office in Davis.

Lucas Frerichs embodies public service. He listens for understanding, advocates for solutions and collaborates well with his City Council colleagues. He is patient and persistent, putting in long hours for the people of our town. We’ll need that dedication, as well as his state and local experience, to navigate the difficult financial times ahead.

I support Vigdis Asmundson and Betsy Hyder for Davis School Board. I am convinced these two strong, smart women will put students at the center of their service for public education.

Cast your vote for your community — we’re in this together.

Chapman will create a vibrant downtown I spent the better part of a decade serving as a director on the board of the Davis Downtown Business Association, and for eight of those years I had the pleasure of working alongside Josh Chapman. As a small business owner, your plate is full the moment your day begins, so carving out time to sit in morning meetings discussing topics like parking meters and sandwichboard placement is sometimes a difficult ask. But the 11 of us who volunteer each year do so because we care deeply about Downtown Davis, and in my mind, none more so than Josh. I was an eyewitness to Josh’s passion for the downtown, his ability to listen to and consider all sides of issues, and his patience and thoughtfulness when confronted with strong, vocal personalities.

The downtown core is a vital part of any city, and Davis Downtown needs to stay vibrant more than ever. The convenience of internet shopping, delivery apps and streaming content leaves little incentive for people to leave their homes for purely commercial, transactional reasons. Today, people want an experience, something that can’t be replicated on a phone or computer or television. COVID19 has shown us how desperately we miss these experiences, and it’s these experiences that must be waiting for us when we reach the other side of this pandemic.

Josh would ensure that they will. He has forged strong relationships within the business community, and on the council,

Josh could use his insight from his prior work with local businesses, along with his practical knowledge as an owner himself to help the city navigate the challenges of COVID economic recovery. He knows, first-hand, how past councils have boosted us and how they’ve failed us. He would enact common-sense policies that will actually help our downtown thrive. And he would do so with the diligence, empathy and vigor I’ve seen him impart during the years I served with him.

A vote for Josh Chapman is most assuredly a vote for the continued and future success of Downtown Davis.

Provenza is caring My wife, Debbie Mayhew, has dementia. Since our marriage in 2013, I have been serving as her primary caregiver. Yolo County Supervisor Jim Provenza is a longtime friend from his tenure on the Davis School Board. In an editorial last spring you state, “He (Provenza) is focused on building a new Adult Day Health Center, which provides a range of services for individuals and families dealing with challenges like dementia and chronic illness.”

Provenza has constantly demonstrated compassion towards Debbie. Whenever I see Provenza, he immediately asks how Debbie is doing. Without hesitation, I strongly support Provenza for re-election to The Board of Supervisors.

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE

Addicted to love Dear Annie: I am depressed and deeply heartbroken over the final breakup with a man whom I have loved for eight years. I went to endless therapy and even went to a wellness center in Germany to help me get over him. Nothing has worked. Here’s the backstory.

“Steve” has hurt me deeply many times, and after a few weeks or months of my begging him to come back, he always did.

He’s broken up with me so many times, ruined my birthdays and holidays, and he’s excluded me from family functions when his ex-wife and adult kids would attend.

I met “Steve” while he was separated from his wife. He said that

ANNOUNCEMENT

he was essentially divorced, though they hadn’t gone through the formal process yet. A year in, I learned that he didn’t even have

a lawyer. It took him five years to get divorced. I was promised that once he was divorced, I’d be allowed to attend family functions. We even got engaged. However, after he told his four older sisters about the engagement and they became angry, he broke it off.

We got back together again after that, only for him to break up with me the day after we got back from my birthday trip on which he told me he loved me and promised no more breakups.

This year, I had no contact with him from February until the end of May, when his dad died.

We got back together for three weeks. But at the end of June, he told me that he’d made a mistake.

He is almost 62 years old; I am 54.

When I told him that he’d used me and treated me as a friend with benefits, his reply was, “I thought our feelings were mutual.” I told him that he knew I loved him, but he insisted he thought we could just hang out.

He said that he’s not in love with me. I feel so used and dirty; it almost feels like I was violated.

The thought of our intimacy during those three weeks nauseates

In toxic or tumultuous relationships such as yours, these addictive effects could be even more pronounced.

Just as the vast majority of people cannot simply will themselves out of addiction, you’re going to need more than just logic to get over Steve. You’re going to need time and support. Cut off all contact. Block his number and email address, and block him on social media. Join a support group such as Co-Dependents Anonymous (https://coda.org), and return to therapy. It won’t be quick or easy, but it will be so worth it. And remember, you are worth it.

How can a human being act so kind, caring and loving, and then say, “I’m not in love with you”?

This has been a pattern, and I cannot get over it. My head knows; my heart, however, is bleeding. How do I stop hurting and missing him?
