UCD profs take on gun violence BY TANYA PEREZ Enterprise staff writer

A panel of experts on Thursday attacked the issue of gun violence from every direction. All affiliated with UC Davis, five professors and a doctor each brought to the debate a different perspective; yet all expressed frustration during “Guns and BARNHORST Psychiatry America after Parkland” forum. To a crowd of about 70 people, UCD Chancellor Gary May gave the opening remarks, including why this topic resonates right here in Davis. “This is a very important, and at the same time sobering conversation we’re going to have,” May said. “Sobering because we recently lost two members of our own Aggie family” to gun violence. May reminded the audience of 2007 UCD graduate, BARNHORST Michelle Vo, who Sociology died in October in the Las Vegas Strip rampage that killed 58 people. As well, May mentioned the March tragedy at a Yountville veterans’ home where alumnus Jennifer Golick, Class of 1998, was one of three women shot to death by an Army veteran. “I’ve written two condolences to Aggie families for deaths due to gun violence,” May said, “and I’ve only been chancellor for eight months.” Following a moment of

weigh in as well. This process began with the council’s approval last year of a retail cannabis ordinance, under which up to four retail shops dispensing medical and recreational cannabis on site may be approved for an 18-month period, after which the council may increase the number allowed in town. Thirteen applications were submitted last fall. Six proposed sites were in the downtown core, one in Old East Davis on L Street, three on Olive Drive, two along Second Street east

The second round of campaign finance disclosures shows Dan Carson remains well ahead of the rest of the pack in the race for Davis City Council. Carson took in $22,337 in campaign contributions between Jan. 1 and April 21, nearly twice that raised by Mary Jo Bryan, who was second among candidates who filed disclosure forms last week. Bryan reported $10,125 raised since Jan. 1, followed by Gloria Partida who reported $9,215 in contributions, and Linda Deos, who reported $5,395. Mark West reported $2,950 in donations and Ezra Beeman reported $2,710. The city clerk’s website shows no campaign disclosure forms filed for this period by Eric Gudz, Larry Guenther or Luis Rios. The deadline for filing forms was April 26. Carson also led in

The F Street Dispensary was one of several proposed cannabis dispensaries to hold open houses recently. All the applicants will present their proposals to the Davis City Council this week and up to four will eventually be approved to set up shop in Davis.

Council to hear pot pitches BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer The 10 remaining applicants hoping to set up cannabis dispensaries in Davis will make their pitches to the Davis City Council on Tuesday, with the council expected to approve up to four of them when it meets again later this month. The applications cover locations in downtown Davis, along Olive Drive, on Second Street east of town and on West Chiles Road. The Davis Planning Commission weighed in on all of the applications last month, with commissioners unanimously recommending three of them and a majority of the

commission recommending two others. Since then, two applicants have withdrawn their proposals from consideration: 5 Point Management at 1046 Olive Dr. and Delta of Venus at 120-122 B St. That leaves a total of 11 applications still in the mix. (One applicant, The Good People Farms, filed two applications for two separate locations). The council is expected to make a final decision at its May 29 meeting, but Tuesday’s meeting will give all of the remaining applicants an opportunity to present their proposals and the public a chance to

Two Davis elementary schools hire new principals BY JEFF HUDSON Enterprise staff writer Pioneer Elementary and César Chávez Elementary will have new principals taking over in the fall. At Chávez, the new principal will be Veronica Dunn. Dunn will be taking over the duties when longtime principal Denise Beck retires in June.
