Movies, pools cleared to open BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer Movie theaters, public pools, bars, gyms and more can reopen today in Yolo County. The reopenings were announced Thursday along with specific guidance for businesses to ensure public health and safety. However, just hours after announcing the reopenings, the county reported a surge in cases — a total of 13 confirmed on Thursday, the highest one-day total in Yolo County since mid April. Eleven of the new cases were reported in Woodland. County Health Officer Dr. Ron
Chapman previously told the Board of Supervisors that additional outbreaks might occur, given the novel coronavirus isn't going away, but he said he believed it was safe to continue reopening activities. However, it won't be business as usual for those activities resuming today — all reopened businesses must adhere to specific guidelines and residents must continue to abide by the county’s face-covering order and social distancing recommendations. Activities cleared to reopen Friday include: ■ Schools (further details on school reopenings will be provided by
schools or school districts at a later date) ■ Day camps ■ Music, film and TV production ■ Professional sports (without live audiences) ■ Movie theaters and family entertainment centers ■ Bars and wineries ■ Zoos, museums, galleries and aquariums ■ Gyms and fitness facilities ■ Hotels (for tourism and individual travel) ■ Card rooms and racetracks

Judicial Council ends Former UCD star calls out racism in gymnastics statewide zero-bail schedule BY LAUREN KEENE

Enterprise staff writer
Enterprise staff writer By the time Alexis Brown graduated from UC Davis, she was one of the most decorated gymnasts in program history. In 2017, her junior year, Brown was named the best gymnast in her conference and the top female athlete at UC Davis. She won multiple conference championships, earning the school’s first ever perfect score from a judge. Despite her extraordinary talent, events in the final two years of her NCAA career nearly drove Brown to quit gymnastics. After graduating, she left the United States in part,

California’s Judicial Council voted Wednesday to end the statewide emergency bail schedule created in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, though local court officials appear poised to keep similar measures in place. The 17-2 vote repeals effective June 20 the emergency schedule, which set zero bail for misdemeanors and lowlevel felonies with the intent of reducing jail populations — by 20,000 across the state, according to the Judicial Council’s estimate — and curbing the spread of coronavirus.

Chief Justice Tani G. Cantil-Sakauye also has rescinded a statewide order extending time for defendants to be arraigned, reverting the limit to the previous 48 hours. “The Judicial Council’s action better reflects the current needs of our state, which has different health concerns and restrictions county-to-county based on the threat posed by COVID-19,” Justice Marsha Slough, a Judicial Council member and chair of its Executive and Planning Committee, said in a news release following Wednesday’s action. “We urge local courts to

BLM fight closes sandwich shop BY LAUREN KEENE AND WENDY WEITZEL The Davis Enterprise The corporate office of Mr. Pickle’s Sandwich Shops shut down the Davis store as of Wednesday, after local franchise owner Mickey Mann sent an email to his employees, berating them for bringing Black Lives Matter into his workplace. Michele Fagundes, president of Mr. Pickles Inc., responded to The Enterprise with an email Wednesday afternoon, before posting the same message on its social media: “Mr. Pickle’s is a franchise network of independently owned and operated shops. Corporate has been notified of the alarming and painful statements made by the owner of the Davis shop to his staff. We made the decision to terminate his franchise and (it) is now permanently closed for business. If that location ever reopens, it will be under new ownership that upholds our corporate standards.” In Mickey Mann’s Tuesday email — which he confirmed sending — he said he was upset when at least one employee wore a Black Lives Matter pin to work, saying they brought politics into his store — against store policy and against his will. “I do not support Black Lives Matter. I never have and I never will. You do not have arguments that can change my mind.” He later added, “BLM is the
flip side of the KKK. Their tactics are out of the Mafia play book.” Similar business policies are not uncommon. BuzzFeed News reported on Wednesday that the Starbucks company’s dress code policy states Black Lives Matter attire is prohibited, just as any political or religious clothing, saying it could potentially incite violence. However, the policy exempts jewelry and attire celebrating LGBTQ rights. Mann wrote that he and his wife Bonnie were harassed by employees. “I am not one to bend to bullying or run away. The members of this crew that are a party to the bullying and attempted oppression of Bonnie and I had better understand that right now. I have no fear of the repercussions that may come from standing up to you.” “I do regret putting that in writing,” Mann said Thursday, “because of the damage that it has done to myself, my family and my employees. However, the sentiment conveyed is my true feeling, I will not retract the sentiment.” Three former employees of Mr. Pickle’s who spoke to The Enterprise on Thursday said it was never their intention for the Manns to lose their business. “Never in a million years did we think that was going to happen,”

Briefly UCD warns of ‘job offer’ scam Multiple UC Davis students have reported being on the receiving end of an email scam involving “professors” offering job opportunities. “The alleged professor offers a job to the student that requires them to receive a (fake) check, deposit it, sometimes buy gift cards, and then wire remaining money back to the suspect,” UCD police said in a crime alert issued Thursday. Police say the fake checks aren’t immediately detected by banks and appear to be processing while the victims continue to follow instructions of sending money/goods. Only too late do they learn the checks are rejected, and the victims have used their own funds to enrich the suspect. Some tips to avoid becoming a victim: ■ Don’t give personal information — people may be posing as government officials (IRS) or a trusted company (banks, Apple, etc.) ■ Don’t deposit checks received and wire money back as requested by alleged employer. The check is likely fake and takes days for banks to detect. ■ Consider how you are paying someone. Wiring services (Western Union or MoneyGram) and gift cards are not protected and are difficult to track, while credit cards have fraud protection. ■ Be careful of clicking unexpected links received via email and text. Perform online searches of the company or messages. ■ If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Try keeping your cool as you read it S U ometimes great advice comes from a place you least expect it, which is what happened to me when I opened our monthly PG&E bill the other day. Inside the envelope was a bill that reflects what happens when six people are locked into a house 24 hours a day, with four of those people participating in “distance learning” on energy-sucking electronic devices of various shapes and sizes. But included with the bill was a clever insert titled “Summer Safety Tips” that provided just about the best advice I’ve received about sheltering in place as we head into summer. Of course, the president of the United States has pretty much guaranteed that the coronavirus will magically “disappear” as the days grow warmer — he actually said it would happen in April — so maybe I don’t even need these summer safety tips in the first place. Still, it was nice to see that the good folks at PG&E are concerned about the health and welfare of

our family. Touching. According to PG&E, there are a number of ways to “stay cool and safe during extreme heat.” For my money, “Move to Bodega Bay during June, July and August” should be at the top of the list, but PG&E somehow overlooked that option. “High temperatures can be lifethreatening unless you take action to stay cool,” the pitch begins, making it sound as if the Sacramento Valley is actually Death Valley. “During periods of unusually high heat, visit your local cooling center or other public buildings such as a theater, library, mall or museum.” Hey, you find me a theater,
“Having that be the first thing I heard was hurtful and disheartening.” A few weeks later, Brown traveled with the team to compete at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo. The anthem played and she knelt, head bowed. “I kind of looked up a little at the stands,” she said. “Everyone was staring at me.” At the end of the meet, Brown held up a fist in a black power salute each time her name was called as the winner. “I saw a couple of parents mocking me in the stands, making faces at me, sticking out their tongues, holding their fists up,” she said. Afterwards, while athletes mingled with parents in the stands, Brown approached the group. “I wanted to see why they felt the need to mock me, if they wanted to learn anything about my protest or have a conversation,” she said. The interaction didn’t go as she hoped. “I had five parents crowding around me saying how disrespectful I was; that I was not welcome there; that I should have taken my award with a smile; that there’s no place for politics in gymnastics.” What could have been so threatening, she wondered, about a young black woman in a sparkling leotard? The next day, Lavallee called Brown into the gym, told her she had “incited a conflict,” and was no longer to go into the stands after competitions. Lavallee declined a request for comment from The Enterprise. In 2017, he spoke about Brown’s protest with The California Aggie. “I am totally fine and comfortable with her making her statement,” he said. “We made it perfectly clear to her and the team

Team trouble The only black gymnast on the team, Brown became increasingly isolated. Two teammates told her privately they supported what she was doing, but they wouldn’t stand up for her in front of other teammates, some of whom had become actively hostile. “They used the N-word very regularly to describe the rest of the black athletes and black community,” Brown said. When she tried to explain the reason behind her protest, she felt her teammates were not willing to listen. “Throughout the rest of the season, my teammates didn’t really speak to me. My coaches said the bare minimum,” Brown said. “I spent most days — beginning, middle and end of practice — crying my eyes out. I had to go to counseling like three times a day so that I didn’t quit gymnastics,” Brown said. “It was traumatic.” She found support from other black students at UC Davis. Before the last home meet of the season — celebrated as Senior Night — the Cross Cultural Center and the Center for African Diaspora Student Success distributed flyers encouraging students to go and show their support for Brown. When the rest of the
team heard that a group of black students and faculty planned to go to the meet, they asked Brown to discourage them from attending. Then they called a meeting, Brown said, and asked their coaches to intervene and bar the group from the meet. “The seniors weren’t just upset that the limelight wouldn't be on them, but that the black community would be there in general,” Brown said. “That was really painful for me.” Despite her team's response — and in part because of it — Brown continued to protest until the end of her NCAA career. “I was ready to let everything burn to the ground for this cause,” she said.
Climate changing Over the past two weeks, as protests over the killing of George Floyd spread around the world, institutions have rushed to publicly align themselves with a groundswell of support for the Black Lives Matter movement. Brown said the shift in public opinion gives her hope, but she wants groups and individuals to “be transparent about missteps in the past” and commit to tangible changes going forward. “It’s important to call people out,” she said. In a series of Instagram posts published this week, Brown recounted several of the incidents reported in this article and referred to “the larger picture of racism on our team.” “Remember when you all were appalled at kneeling?” she wrote. She is no longer upset, she said, but she
wants the gymnastics community to do better — to listen to black people, educate themselves and speak out against racism. Some people have messaged her and apologized, she said. Lavallee was not one of them. Brown said she recently reached out to her former coach multiple times, encouraging him to make a public statement, but she did not get a reply. “That kind of affirmed for me that what I experienced wasn’t in my head. It was real and it was personal,” Brown said. Lavallee has coached the UC Davis women’s gymnastics team since 2007, winning the conference Coach of the Year award six times, including in 2017. On Monday, Lavallee released a statement on Instagram. “I firmly stand with the Black Lives Matter movement. We must use this opportunity to implement strong and lasting change,” he wrote. “I will continue to look inward, listen and learn so we can move forward together.” The statement, Brown said, validated her outreach and her insistence that the team take a moment to reflect. The gymnasts also released a statement, which Brown said was even more meaningful. “Our nonBlack team members are committed to supporting our Black team members in this time of struggle and in the future,” they wrote. “I feel hopeful,” said Brown. “I hope they stay accountable to what they said.” —Reach Caleb Hampton atchampton@davisenter prise.net.

that we support her doing that.” When asked for comment, UC Davis Athletics Director Kevin Blue referred to his comments to The Aggie in 2017, when he “unconditionally” affirmed Brown’s “right to free expression.” At the time, Brown told The Aggie their support was “not as apparent” as she would have liked.

nder the all-inclusive “Tips to stay cool and safe,” the No. 1 directive is to “Drink plenty of water, even when you are not thirsty.” Now, unless your personal early-warning system is wildly out of whack, you do not need to be drinking water when you are not thirsty. It’s probably OK to eat a bowl of ice cream when you’re not hungry, but that, too, is not absolutely necessary. For centuries, people have relied on their own bodies to tell them when they need water or food or a breath of fresh air. But somewhere along the way, a smart entrepreneur with access to billions of empty plastic bottles, convinced people to “hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.” So now, not only are we overfed, we’re also waterlogged, which makes it much, much harder to walk around the block and burn
off some of those excess calories. “Take a cool shower or bath,” is the next piece of advice, which works especially well if you don’t have a water meter recording every drop you use and reporting your usage to the proper authorities. “Wear lightweight, loose, lightcolored clothing.” That’s fine, except with the added pounds this lockdown has added to my aching body, finding anything that’s “loose” is virtually impossible. “Avoid alcoholic or caffeinated beverages.” Yes, shelter in place and have absolutely no fun at all. “Check on the elderly, neighbors and pets.” That’s a fine sentiment, and something we should most assuredly do on a regular basis, but how that even remotely will help you to “stay cool” is unclear. If all else fails, crank up the air conditioner and avoid opening your PG&E bill. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenterprise.net.
GYMNASTICS: Left the country to avoid racism she said, because of pervasive racism in the U.S., and on the UC Davis gymnastics team in particular. She is currently studying at the Royal Veterinary College in London. Brown’s freshman year began shortly after the police killing of Michael Brown (no relation), which set off widespread protests that birthed the Black Lives Matter movement. More police killings of black men followed. During Brown’s first two years at UC Davis, Walter Scott, Alton Sterling and Philando Castile were all killed on camera. “I kept seeing the numbers climb,” she said. Some of the victims reminded her of her father or her brother, and she feared for them. “It made me feel physically sick to my stomach,” she said. The summer before her third year, then-San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick began kneeling during the national anthem, a silent protest that was taken up by athletes across the country. "I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people," Kaepernick said at the time. Brown knelt during the national anthem at every gymnastics meet for the next two years. Lots of friends and classmates encouraged her, she said, but not everyone was supportive. After one of the first meets, she was lectured by coach John Lavallee. “I remember him saying, ‘There were kids on the floor. What kind of example are you setting for them? I don’t want their parents to be mad at me because you’re doing something wrong,’” Brown said.

PICKLE: Email antagonized employees, corporate office From Page A1 said Z, who asked to remain anonymous. “I honestly do believe if that email (from Mickey Mann) hadn’t gone out, things would be really different.” But Bonnie Mann said what occurred to the business “seemed to be a planned takedown” by a few disgruntled employees, even though the Manns had been working with the Mr. Pickle’s corporate office in recent days to “bend the rules” so their staff could express their support of the BLM movement. “For eight years, we’ve had no issues with our stance that employees, or anyone for that matter, shouldn’t use our store for any platform,” she said. “We really believe the business runs better without all of that in the store. We’re there to serve food to people who are hungry and want to come in for a pleasant Mr. Pickle’s experience.” But Z said she “immediately quit” after reading the email, because “I was just shocked at his words, that he did not support Black Lives Matter at all. That goes against everything I believe in, and I couldn’t work for somebody that believed that.” The former workers said the events leading up to the store closure began late last week, when Z said she asked for permission to wear a BLM pin at work. The sandwich shop included four white employees, three Asians, three Hispanics and one who identified herself as black/filipino/Mexican. “I looked at the dress code, and there was nothing against it,” Z said. But when she asked Mann about it, “he said no, because he didn’t want to bring
politics into the store.” But another worker, Q, had been wearing her own BLM pin since Monday with no problem until that Friday, when Mickey Mann “told me to take it off because it was a political issue,” to which she said she responded it was “a human rights issue.” Q said Mann told her “if I wasn’t going to take it off I should clock out and go home, and I did.” On her way home, Q encountered a George Floyd memorial at Central Park and joined the crowd, sharing with others there her experience at work. Some asked if they could go to her workplace to talk with the owner, and she agreed. A group of about 10 people, including several children, showed up and engaged in a conversation the employees described as “very nice and polite.” That Sunday night, Q said she received an email from Mann offering a choice to employees of wearing BLM pins or providing a donation jar inside the store. That led to a team meeting the next morning, Monday, that a Mr. Pickle’s field representative also attended, the former employees said. A third employee, Aly, said Mickey Mann “started to get a little agitated” during the staff meeting, which the employees said he claimed was being recorded. “He basically expressed how he was feeling, and it was compared to the way a black man was being held to the ground by a white officer with a knee on his neck,” an inferred reference to the Floyd incident, Aly said. “That actually led me to quit that day.” Still, Aly said she was willing to further discuss the matter after
Bonnie Mann reached out to her, asking how to improve the workplace. Meanwhile, word of the alleged Floyd comment reached other employees, including Z. “At that point, there was a shift,” said Z, who emailed Mann to inform him that the comment “was unacceptable to say. I honestly really tried to make it peaceful as possible for everyone, but it was really hard for me to defend them.” Then came the Tuesday morning email. Z quit — “morally, I had to,” she said — and Q said while she told the Manns she wouldn’t be in for a week, “I was OK with not coming back, either.” “They’re not bad people,” Z added. “But we’ve never really seen their true colors, and now they’ve shown us.” Bonnie Mann said as she and her husband were becoming educated about the BLM movement, they wanted to back their workers by allowing them to wear pins on their uniforms and putting out the donation jar the Manns said they and corporate officials planned to launch with a $500 contribution. They’d also agreed to display a BLM sign inside the shop, she said, and offered to give employees a day off to attend a “A Peaceful Protest for our Rights,” a June 6 rally in Sacramento, and any future events to “let their beliefs be known.” “We don’t want to shut out everybody’s beliefs. We were allowing our employees to get the ball rolling on this, but it doesn’t happen overnight,” Bonnie Mann said. But when the changes weren’t immediately put in place, “some workers started using stronger tactics to get their way.” Davis police logs indicate two calls to police on the issue over the

Mann said. “This is proof why we had the rules in place that we did. Only to prevent this from happening, and to protect our customers and employees.” “We did everything we could for eight years to create a beautiful place to work, not to create havoc, and havoc was created in a very short time by a couple of people,” Bonnie Mann added. “It’s so unfortunate, so very sad, that a couple of people can take the place down. This was a second home for many of our employees, and we have been thanked numerous times for creating a safe haven for them to work.” Mickey Mann’s Tuesday email to employees was shared on social media, and widely spread through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Nextdoor, with multiple comments calling him racist. Bobby Coyote, who owns another restaurant in Oakshade Town Center, said he may have met Mickey Mann once or twice since the sandwich shop opened, but after reading Tuesday’s email posted on social media, he called the Mr. Pickle’s owner “an insensitive jerk.” “Dos Coyotes supports Black Lives Matter 1,000 percent and what happened in Minneapolis was one of the most disgusting signs of police brutality that I have ever seen,” Coyote said Thursday. Mr. Pickle's opened in September 2012 at 2191 Cowell Blvd., Suite F, in South Davis. — Reach Lauren Keene at lkeene@davisenterprise.net.

Pets of the week Special to The Enterprise
past week — the first at about 6:20 p.m. Friday, June 5, requesting extra patrols following a “protest encounter” earlier in the day. A summary of the call indicates the “RP (reporting party) asked (an) employee to remove BLM badge, employee refused and left for the day. Protesters came back upset with RP,” and the owner expressed concern they would return to the business that night. Police received a second report at about 10 p.m. Tuesday from a relative of the Manns, asking officers to stand by as Mann installed a closure sign at the business. The report said he received threats from BLM and he was concerned that his business would be vandalized. Mann’s email to employees refers to police contact. The Davis Police Department was “informed of the Libel, Slander, and threats that have been made toward us. … I have no fear of any or all of you quitting. We started the store with zero employees, so if necessary, we will rebuild from zero again. If Mr. Pickle’s Davis suffers window breakage, vandalism, or theft I have names of the people that I will hold responsible.” Bonnie Mann said despite their efforts to resolve the issue, the shop was swiftly forced to close, putting their 10 employees out of work. She said some employees’ parents have called her “who support us 100 percent” but don’t feel comfortable speaking out publicly for fear of backlash. “We have had numerous people stop by and call the store in support of us. Even today, we had a BLM representative stop by and let us know that she was very sorry for what had happened to us,” Bonnie

Two key takeaways: just 1 percent of tests were positive, but more than 75 percent of those who tested positive were asymptomatic. A total of 1,639 individuals were tested at the OptumServe site, which was open May 5-30 at the Yolo County Fairgrounds.

OBITUARIES Margaret Tucher
April 11, 1919 — May 29, 2020 Margaret Tucher, an indomitable spirit, aged 101, departed the earth May 29, 2020, at Carlton Senior Living in Davis. Born in the midst of the influenza pandemic, April 11, 1919, to German/Austrian immigrants, she was a child of the Great Depression. Having endured abject poverty and life-threatening illness (diphtheria) that claimed the life of her little brother, these hardscrabble series of tragic events shaped her outlook her entire life, imbuing her with a grit and tenacity unmatched by few. Margaret married Alvin Tucher May 17, 1941, and they were together 41 years until his death. Those early years took her to Mare Island, Vallejo, accompanying her husband who worked as a civilian in the war efforts, then a return to Sacramento after World War II, where she raised her family and focused her considerable energy in homemaking and community activism. Indeed, she succeeded in lobbying local politicians to install sidewalks in her South Sacramento neighborhood, and in later years reveled in her work as a volunteer consumer advocate for Call 3 at KCRA in Sacramento. In addition, over the years, she wrote prolifically in letters to family, friends, politicians, even to the president of the United States at the time, Lyndon Johnson (and received a personal call from the Pentagon in response!). She was never at a loss for words, spoken or written. Margaret pursued a lifelong passion for gardening and floral arranging. She would spend hours in her garden at her Sacramento home of 55 years, then subsequently in her Davis home where she moved at age 82, and tended her picturesque grounds with the
enthusiasm and boundless energy of someone half her age, Her roses were exquisite, her green thumb legendary, After one particularly exhausting day of attempting to unearth a stump with a shovel and brute force, 90 year old Margaret exclaimed, “I just don’t know why I’m so sore and tired today!” No obstacle was too big to tackle with gusto, and giving up was never a considered option. The proverbial “life of the party”, she regaled in being the center of things, never failing to relish a good story (especially her own), She was always ready for a good party, and welcomed an opportunity to dress up and celebrate with friends and family. She adored her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and especially treasured their visits with “Gram.” Throughout her life, this irrepressible soul with a personality that would fill an entire room, possessed remarkable fortitude. In her final days, through sheer force of will, she persisted until her beloved granddaughter’s long anticipated baby was born. As she looked at her new great granddaughter’s picture and beheld the miracle of life, she commented, “That is a beautiful baby!” Margaret’s life was complete, and her work done, She is survived by two daughters and their spouses, Carolyn and Ross Leonard and Susan and Johannes Binnewies; three grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; six nieces; and one nephew. The family would like to thank Dr. Allison Alcalay, Dr. Monica Romo, Krizzha Zamora, RN from Sutter Hospice, and the staff at Carlton, particularly Juanita and Jake, for their outstanding care and compassion in these final years.
now moved to West Sacramento where it will be open through June 27. In its first week there, 322 people were tested and two positive cases of COVID-19 were confirmed, one in someone who was asymptomatic. The OptumServe testing, done in conjunction with the state, is available to anyone over the age of 12, whether they have symptoms or not. There is no cost either, as those with insurance will have their insurance companies billed and the state covers the cost for those who are uninsured. The West Sacramento site will be open Tuesday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. with testing by appointment only. Call
888-634-1123 or complete an online application at https://lhi.care/covidtesting. Countywide, more than 7,400 tests have been administered since the beginning of the pandemic, resulting in 240 confirmed cases, including 24 in the last week. Tests are administered by local health care providers as well as the community testing sites run by OptumServe. As of Monday, more than 2,100 Davis residents had been tested since the pandemic began, with approximately 1.2 percent of them testing positive, compared to 4.4 percent in West Sacramento and 3.9 percent in Woodland, according to the county.

Economic stresses feed into rage, too F
or decades, academics warned that the everwidening income gap in America could have dire consequences for California and the rest of the nation unless someone did something about it. Nothing happened. Then came the wholly unjustified police killing of the African American Minneapolis resident George Floyd, touching off protests from coast to coast, from near the Canadian border to near the Mexican border. The protests broke out in Seattle and Phoenix, in Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Francisco, Miami, Atlanta, New York, Philadelphia — almost everywhere with significant minority populations. These began peacefully. But then crowds began expressing pent-up anxiety and rage left from the 11-week coronavirus lockdown, with its loss of jobs and continuing spread of the plague itself. Both hit minorities far harder than whites largely because of their vastly contrasting living conditions and educational levels. Over a week of steady demonstrations, looters eventually
began exploiting the protests. Some of their raids looked well organized, likely via social media. They went after high-end shopping areas in San Francisco and Emeryville, Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills and the Santa Monica Promenade. In Santa Monica on Sunday, May 31, legitimate demonstrators and looters split sharply, soon conducting their activities blocks apart. On swank Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles Saturday, May 30, and on Santa Monica’s Broadway the next afternoon, looters literally trampled groups of legitimate peaceful protesters trying to divert them from storefronts. The thieves went after goods from sneakers to sweaters, jeans to jewelry, TVs to computers and cellphones. The booty so
packed their cars, SUVs and pickups that looters themselves almost could not fit in with it. Look for much of that easy-tosell stuff in swap meets across America. Outside some brand-name sneaker stores, the bandits’ vehicles lined up in what seemed a systematic pattern, police so outnumbered in many places that they could not safely intervene. Some conservatives including President Trump soon tagged “Antifa” as the culprit, with no evidence. Of course, no one knows exactly who Antifa is, so it’s a convenient, anonymous scapegoat. But there’s much more at work here than the usual “outside agitator” suspects, to whom conservatives appear to be applying the Antifa tag, after a group that has not been very active for the last few years. Doing that intentionally downplays and ignores the legitimate grievances of African Americans, who have time after time seen police injure or kill unarmed persons of their race. It bypasses at least one legitimate
question: Why are police trained in the knee-on-neck technique used by Minneapolis policeman Derek Chauvin to kill Floyd while three other cops stood by as Floyd moaned that he could not breathe? But there are deeper issues. California exemplifies them, Los Angeles in particular. Said one businessman who recently relocated to the posh L.A. district of Bel Air, “It’s been hard for me to believe that I can live in luxury here, but less than 5 miles away are some of the poorest people in America.” Academics have noted that contrast for years, sometimes warning it could lead to violence. The New York-based Urban Institute, for one example, reported that between 1963 and 2016 families near the bottom of wealth distribution (those at the 10th percentile) went from averaging no wealth to being about $1,000 in debt, while families near the top (at the 90th percentile and above) saw their wealth increase fivefold between 1963 and 2016. That’s compounded inequality. Long before the Floyd murder,

way that abandons the language and practices that have resulted in an intractable divide. The evils created by our failure to achieve racial unity will be eradicated only by a love that is translated into action. Actions that include deliberately going out of our way to befriend all—even those whose views differ from our own, appreciating the contributions of all, and joining hands to solve the difficult problems that are the relics of historical injustices. We believe in the fundamental goodness of the masses of our fellow citizens, and we are certain that we will find in this appalling act a way forward to building a country that lives up to its ideals of “liberty and justice for all.” Sandra Schickele Secretary, Spiritual Assembly of the Baha’is of Davis
Reopening too early As a physician, I am writing in support of caution in lifting coronavirus restrictions in Yolo County. We’ve been here before. The 1918 Spanish flu pandemic infected 500 million people worldwide, killing an estimated 20-50 million victims. Both Spanish flu and COVID-19 kill by an overreaction of our immune systems, leading to severe lung inflammation, with a fatal build-up of fluid. The “second wave” of Spanish flu was deadlier than the first. Its rapid spread in fall of 1918 was partially due to an official unwillingness to impose quarantines in wartime. Britain’s public health official, Arthur Newsholme, knew a strict civilian lockdown was the best way to limit spread of highly contagious disease. But he gave the war effort higher priority, keeping munitions factory employees and others working. Newsholme decided war needs justified the high risk of spreading infection. As a result, more people died of Spanish flu than soldiers and civilians killed by all of World War I. In 1918, U.S. cities which intervened early in the epidemic — including closing schools, churches, theaters and communitywide businesses — had peak death rates about one-half of those that acted later. Unfortunately, few cities kept restrictions longer than eight weeks; reopening brought increased deaths. No city had a second wave while shut down; second waves occurred only after interventions were relaxed. The descriptions above may sound familiar, as we relive the 1918 experience, now being at the point of deciding when and how to properly relax restrictions. Pressures are enormous to simultaneously avoid a second surge of disease and deaths, while relieving suffering of the many who must pay bills and support families. We can’t just choose one and we may have to readjust, as we go to get things right. We may even need recurrent lockdowns if things go poorly, as happened recently in South Korea. It’s claimed the best time to intervene at an epidemic’s start is when it is “too early.” Conversely, to end an epidemic we must move carefully and thoughtfully. To that end, I thank our public health community for applying these principles with their knowledge and hard work. James Eusebio, MD Davis
Recent protests Yesterday someone I know posted flyers along the greenbelt near Northstar Park that said, “White silence is white violence ... challenge everyday racism.” I saw some people reading them, but this morning most of them were torn down, with several left crumpled on the ground. The scraps of paper fluttering from the lamp posts said as much as the flyer itself.
then, there was plenty of inequality and reason for minority rage. The rage is now in the open. That’s why it was no coincidence when, at least in California, protesters and their piggybacking looters headed to highend areas. With a long, hot summer ahead, this outbreak may lapse, but its causes won’t go away. California can hope this is not the start of the class war some scholars warned of, but the only way to make sure of that is to do something about the blatant inequalities in economics, policing, housing and many other areas. That could lead to a guaranteed monthly income for all, or something else. But there must be movement, or the troubles may only be starting. — Email Thomas Elias at tdelias@aol.com. His book, “The Burzynski Breakthrough: The Most Promising Cancer Treatment and the Government’s Campaign to Squelch It,” is now available in a softcover fourth edition.

Some flyers were left crumpled on the ground, and some remain, so presumably they were not taken down by city workers. Many white people have participated in the recent protests against police brutality toward people of color. But many more white people, myself included, need to get better at recognizing and confronting systemic racism in our everyday lives. Mark Brown Davis
‘Good’ cops in the media The imprudent ideas that this is a time for spreading positivity about actions of law enforcement is incredibly misguided. Our society is already structured to protect police officers despite racist brutalization, this is what must be dismantled. The system must be reformed so they answer for their crimes. What we are seeing right now by law enforcement is a gross abuse of power. Featuring “good cops” or positive actions by cops directly undermines the BLM movement because it feeds into the idea that the fight is with the individual when it is not, the fight is with the system. More specifically the systemic racism that has plagued this land for over 400 years. It contributes to rhetoric of “a few bad apples” ensuing the ingrained historic racism of police officers. There is a duty to ensure these atrocities are what is taking up media space. There is duty to ensure media remains a looking glass into the systemic problem right now and not to be distracted by performative actions. While many use quotations of MLK to vindicate their posts of positivity, even though he was an incredible man who fought for justice, in the end he was a hated man who was also murdered for the color of his skin. If you are uncomfortable with the news cycle and its lack of alacrity, that is privilege. It is a privilege to learn about racism rather than experience it your whole life. Headlines like “White cops helping black Americans” is not something to boast about, that is an expectation we should all have, that is not newsworthy because that

is their job. What is newsworthy is the gross human rights violations and disgusting abuse of power and the reason it needs to be displayed so prominently is because it is systemic, meaning it will not go away until change is demanded. Fundamentally, there is no space right now for the exhibition of anything other than the systemic barbarity present in our police forces, contributing to the detraction of that is nothing short of irresponsible.

Baha’is grieve for George Floyd Our nation is again witnessing the collective pain caused by the death of an unarmed African American man at the hands of a white policeman. We all grieve for the family and friends of George Floyd. We pray for the relief of their hearts and ask for God’s grace to surround them. As a religious community, the Baha’is of Davis see this crisis, like many others engulfing our county, as essentially spiritual in nature. It originates in our collective failure to recognize that humanity is one. The oneness of humanity is far more than a slogan or unattainable ideal. It has profound implications for both personal behavior and for the way society is organized, challenging many current assumptions and revolutionizing the relationships that exist between individuals, society, and institutions. Awareness of the spiritual reality of human beings means society must be structured in a way that gives everyone the opportunity to fulfill their God-given potential to contribute to our country’s wellbeing. Our failure to fully embrace this awareness and the changes it requires is at the heart of this tragedy. Baha’is believe we must work to reshape society based on principles of love, inclusiveness, fairness, reciprocity, and the elimination of the extremes of wealth and poverty. Working together, we must find a way to address racism and inequality in a

Graffiti relating to George Floyd murder Following the horrific murder of George Floyd, I’ve seen a number of messages pop up in the parks and greenbelts in my neighborhood in support of the Black Lives Matter movement and in condemnation of the brutal killings of African Americans throughout our country. All these messages were written in chalk, and I was both deeply moved by them and proud of my town for expressing itself in this manner. It was an honorable way to show support for the African American community and honor the memory of George Floyd in the difficult time. However, lately I have seen some things in my neighborhood that trouble me. Scrawled in black spraypaint on a pedestrian/bike tunnel were the words “George Floyd — Rest in Power.” A very nice sentiment, but why spraypaint it? Even worse, in black spray paint, inside a different tunnel the acronym “ACAB” (“all cops are bastards”) was written. A number of flyers were taped to light poles in my neighborhood that asked for us to join the Black Lives Matter movement. I think flyers are a great way to express ourselves, and the Black Lives Matter movement is a very worthy cause. However, the flyers include the hashtag #ACAB. Of course, I get that many people are furious at the state of affairs in our country with regards to the systemic racism directed at black Americans and other minorities. I’m horrified and angry also. But why alienate people by resorting to spray painting graffiti in a town that is so supportive of social justice causes? And why use an acronym that stands for “all cops are bastards,” when I’m sure any reasonable, thinking individual knows this isn’t true. Let’s do this together, the way that we Davis residents have always done, by peacefully and respectfully expressing ourselves and supporting each other through these difficult times.

Looking for a real connection Dear Annie: Would you happen to know a dating site that isn’t crazy expensive and that would allow me to find someone who’s not fake? I’m looking to meet someone real, preferably someone who loves animals like I do. I’d appreciate any help you can offer. — Just Me in Germany Dear Just Me: There are plenty of dating websites that offer free basic memberships and affordable premium memberships, such as OkCupid (which is free to join, and $5.95 per month for sixmonth premium subscription) and Plenty of Fish (also free to join, with premium memberships available for $5 to $10 a month). Though it’s not a dating site, MeetUp.com offers opportunities to meet people who share similar interests, and you might consider volunteering somewhere that allows you to work with animals and meet like-minded folks. As for verifying whether someone’s the real deal, a few practical tips: Look them up on social media; FaceTime, Skype or Zoom with them rather than just messaging; and, of course, always, always meet in a public place.
——— Dear Annie: I am a 92-year-old lady, and have outlived my child, immediate family and many dear friends. Sadly, I’m writing you after hearing of a 90-year-old friend who tried to commit suicide but was saved. This friend no longer has family. She has a lot of back pain and agerelated problems that most of us get in later years. We are all isolating ourselves due to the pandemic, and sometimes our loneliness is more than we can bear. I’m writing to let people know to please, please remember to call often to these lonely souls or stop by to say, “Hi,” or send over a few cookies or a flower from your yard. Just keep in touch to give them a sense of worthiness. I’ve talked to other elderly persons going through this, and some have admitted crying themselves to sleep at night or just sitting all day doing nothing. Please remind folks to check on the elderly, especially those living alone. — Soon to Be 93 Dear Soon to be 93: This is heartbreaking.

——— Dear Annie: Your column “Nurses Offer a Hand to Hold” hit me hard — and gave me some solace at the same time. In 2003, my mother was living with us and had a heart attack (she’d had a couple before). The EMTs responded quickly and took her to the cardiac ICU, where she got excellent care. She had expressed a strong wish to not be alone when she passed. As we got close to the end, I left what I thought were explicit directions to call me any time of day or night. I left her at about 10 p.m. one evening to get some rest and got a call at 7 the next morning that she died at about 3 a.m. I was crushed that I wasn’t there! That has stayed with me to this day. My hope, and maybe one day my belief, is that a nurse like nurse Palmer was holding Mom’s hand when her time came. I hope the column comforts others as well. We all need to thank a nurse not only for their professional capabilities but also their personal care. — Thank a Nurse Dear Thank a Nurse: I am sorry you lost your mother but grateful that you found comfort from nurse Palmer’s letter.

Project Name: 614 Cantrill Drive Flex Building Project Location: 614 Cantrill Drive, Davis, CA 95618 Property Owner/Applicant: Daniel D. Sadler, P. O. Box 2186 Davis, CA 95617 File Number: Planning Application (PA) #20-07 for Final Planned Development #2-20 and Design Review #2-20 to Construct A New Commercial Service Flex Building Project Description: The applicant requests approval of Final Planned Development and Design Review applications to allow for the construction of a new commercial service (C-S) flexbuilding on the approximately 0.64-acre vacant lot located at 614 Cantrill Drive. The proposal includes approximately 10,246 sf of single-story flexible building (that will not be conditioned initially as prospective tenants would improve their own spaces), a parking lot, bike parking spaces, landscaping, trash and recycling enclosure structure. The anticipated uses and the space dedicated to each use, based on principal permitted uses in P-D#2-99D C-S subarea, are as follows: Q Office -- 1,246 square feet; Q Custom/light manufacturing -3,000 square feet; and Q Warehouse -- 6,000 square feet. Environmental Determination: The proposed project is categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Section 15332 as an Infill Development Project, and CEQA section 15305 as Minor Alteration in land Use Limitations. In addition, that the adopted General Plan EIR, and East Davis Specific Plan EIR, Negative Declaration #1-99 prepared for Midtown Village adequately addressed the environmental impacts of developing the subject site and that mitigation measures adopted in the referenced environmental documents will reduce any impacts to less than significant.
Q Removal of the requirement for construction of the commercial buildings concurrent with the apartment building to allow construction of the 72-unit apartment building; and Q Revision to delay payment of the $150,000 in-lieu affordable housing contribution to one year after certificate of occupancy to help with project financing.
Currently, the Development Agreement requires build out of 50% of the commercial buildings in order to obtain the certificate of occupancy for the apartment building, but the commercial financing is not currently available. The proposed amendment would remove the concurrency requirement for the construction of the commercial buildings allowing construction of the 72-unit apartment build-ing to proceed. The Development Agreement also requires a $150,000 contribution to the afforda-ble housing trust fund and the amendment would delay the payment for one year after occupancy of the apartments to help with financing.

OPEN: Strict rules to protect public as business ramps up From Page A1 ■ Campgrounds and outdoor recreation ■ Public swimming pools (saunas, spas and hot tubs should remain closed) ■ Wedding ceremonies (no reception) Movie theater audiences will be limited to 25 percent of capacity or 100 people, whichever is lower. The state’s guidance to theater operators is to “reconfigure, close or otherwise remove seats from use to ensure physical distancing of at least 6 feet between attendees.” “This may require seating every other row or blocking off or removing seats in a ‘checkerboard’ style so that distances are maintained in all directions,” the guidance said. “Members of the same household may be seated together but should maintain at least 6 feet of distance from other households.” Additionally, face coverings should be worn by patrons when not eating or drinking as well as while entering or exiting the theater and purchasing refreshments. Guidance for bars and wineries is similar to that for restaurants, including prioritizing outdoor seating, adjusting the maximum occupancy indoors to limit the number of customers and providing plastic barriers where possible between tables. Wineries are required to provide a clean glass for each tasting
and discontinue group tours that combine individuals from different households in the same group. Other guidance for bars and wineries focuses on cleaning and disinfecting protocols and employee health screening. Likewise, the guidance for gyms and fitness centers include protocols for sanitation, including requiring patrons to disinfect individual exercise equipment, mats and machines before and after use with disinfecting wipes provided by the facility. “If members are unable or unwilling to wipe/disinfect equipment after exercise, provide ‘Ready to Clean’ tags for members to place on equipment after use to ensure equipment is cleaned by staff before the next use,” the guidance said. Facilities should also encourage members to bring their own towels and mats. Physical distancing at gyms and fitness centers includes the standard 6 feet of separation but more than 6 feet for high-exertion aerobic equipment. “Evaluate maximum occupancy rules based on the size of the facility to develop a capacity plan that supports physical distancing and limits the number of patrons allowed in the facility at any given time,” the guidance said. Additionally, “group exercise classes should only be offered if distancing requirements can be maintained and there is no

Yolo County’s coronavirus dashboard showed an increase in cases on Thursday. See more at https://www.yolocounty.org/health-human-services/ adults/communicable-disease-investigation-and-control/novelcoronavirus-2019/dashboard-and-documents. person-to-person contact.” “High-contact programs that require close contact less than 6 feet in distance should be suspended. This would include activities such as group sporting events, organized intramural activities, pick-up basketball or organized races.” The guidance for public swimming pools also focuses on physical distancing, including changing the layout of deck chairs, designating employees who will monitor physical distancing by pool users, and requiring face coverings to be worn by everyone when they are not in the
pool and cannot remain 6 feet apart. Guidance for public pools also focuses on cleaning and sanitation protocols. The city of Davis announced in May that recreational swimming would not resume in city pools before July 5. City officials were checking Thursday whether pools may be able to reopen before then now that guidance has been provided. Pools are reopening, however, for lap swim programs. “As the county opens up we want to encourage everyone to take advantage of our great
weather and to walk and exercise safely,” said Yolo County Supervisor Gary Sandy, who chairs the Board of Supervisors. “We also hope local residents will remember to stay close to home, to wear a mask when in proximity to members of the public, to avoid large gatherings, engage in frequent hand washing and to take personal responsibility for safeguarding their health and the health of others. Practice healthy habits.” As these activities reopen, the county reminds the public of their responsibility for adhering to the rules and guidelines set by businesses as well as for practicing social distancing and wearing a face covering. “Everyone has a role to play in keeping our communities safe and healthy,” a county press release stated. “Older adults and individuals with underlying medical conditions should continue to stay at home as much as possible except for accessing essential services and activities.” Meanwhile, counties are still prohibited from reopening other businesses that have not yet been approved by the state. They include nail salons, libraries, playgrounds, nightclubs, concert venues, live audience sports, theme parks, higher education, live theater and more. —Reach Anne Ternus-Bellamy ataternus@davisenterprise. net.Follow her on Twitter at@ ATernusBellamy.
BAIL: Local judges mulling options, decision expected next week From Page A1 continue to use the emergency COVID-19 bail schedule where necessary to protect the health of the community, the courts, and the incarcerated. We are also asking courts to report back by June 20 on whether they plan to keep the COVID-19 emergency bail schedule, or another reduced bail schedule,” Slough said. Those conversations are forthcoming, Yolo Superior Court Presiding Judge Samuel McAdam said Thursday. He noted that Yolo County was one of the first courts in California to adopt a zero-bail schedule in late March, under Cantil-Sakauye’s recomendation, as the pandemic ramped up. The chief justice issued the emergency order on April 13 “because some local courts did not follow her lead,” McAdam said. “We’ve historically followed the recommendations of the chief justice,” he added, emphasizing that any local bail-reduction measures would continue to target low-level crimes and not serious or violent offenders. A decision is expected to be announced next week, following discussions between the court and Yolo County’s justice partners. “We’re going to listen to everybody,” McAdam said. The bail schedule’s impact in Yolo County varies slightly based on who you ask. According to the Yolo County Sheriff ’s Office, which operates the jail, 156 inmates gained release under the zero-bail order, while another 26 left the jail under another statewide measure allowing sheriffs to release lowrisk inmates with fewer than 60 days remaining in their sentences. Meanwhile, the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office says 151 inmates were freed under emergency bail conditions — including prior to the
Judicial Council order — while 27 received early release before their sentences expired. Of that combined number, “24 have reoffended, and several multiple times,” Assistant Chief Deputy District Attorney Melinda Aiello said. Aiello called the statewide bail schedule “well intentioned” but inadequate, saying it “compromised public safety and created a revolving-door policy that impeded the criminal justice system from addressing underlying issues such as addiction or mental health illness that cause criminal behavior. “As the courts are slowly beginning to reopen, it was time for the Judicial Council to rescind its statewide order and allow the counties to craft a bail schedule that balances public safety with the need to maintain a manageable jail population to mitigate the risk of COVID being introduced into the jail and reduce the risk of spread,” Aiello said. “We will work with the court and our criminal justice partners to achieve such a goal.” Public Defender Tracie Olson, meanwhile, penned a letter to McAdam urging Yolo to maintain the emergency bail provisions in order to further minimize COVID-19’s spread in the local jail and decrease court congestion caused by pandemic-induced case delays.
The jail’s reduced population of 201 as of Thursday — less than half its maximum capacity — allows the facility to house inmates in individual cells and maintain a separate quarantine area for those showing symptoms of the virus, Olson noted. So far, no inmates or employees have tested positive. “Going back to the preCOVID-19 bail schedule would endanger lives, as once the jail population increases, the conditions I describe above would be lost, encouraging virus spread,” Olson wrote. “This will endanger the lives of people in jail and in our communities, especially Black people, who are incarcerated and sickened and killed by this disease at disproportionate rates. “As the movement against systemic racism grows, Yolo County should be a leader in protecting this vulnerable minority population; it should not be making life more dangerous,” the letter says. Yolo County Supervisor Don Saylor also weighed in on the issue, telling the Judicial Council the emergency bail schedule — along with the order granting early inmate releases — had “positive” impacts. In addition to safer jail conditions, “the brief period of time with these additional tools in place has generated early indications that public safety has
WE’RE OPEN! Mon-Thu 6am-2pm • Fri-Sun 6am-4pm
not been endangered through zero-cash bail and early release,” Saylor said. “Of course, this is an incomplete finding. We need to do a complete assessment of all the aspects of this issue.” He added: “While California is following a reasonable reopening schedule set to the governor’s Four Phase Road to Reopening, we are not through this
pandemic yet. All of the phases of reopening have been accompanied by riskreduction precautions. We know that any activity that involves groups of people in tight quarters indoors for extended periods of time provides the highest risk for COVID-19 contagion. We are still at risk.” The Judicial Council also was slated to consider Wednesday whether to end
emergency rules on evictions and judicial foreclosures, but opted to suspend those votes. “I believe the executive and legislative branches will need more time to sort through various policy proposals,” Cantil-Sakauye said. — Reach Lauren Keene at lkeene@davisenter prise.net or 530-747-8048.

Pence invites all to look at the birds BY NATALIE NELSON Special to The Enterprise
W
hen I was younger, I spent a fair amount of time with my husband’s grandparents. His Grandmother Margaret was an elegant, brilliant research scientist who loved birds. Whenever she would hear a family member erupt in disagreement during an otherwise civil meal, she would announce, “Oh look at the birds.” She would point to some collection of hummingbirds outside her window, a sparrow or maybe even a crow. Any bird would do to distract us and to pause the conversation from continuing into conflict. During this truly confusing, gut-wrenching time, I opened an exhibit
PENCE GALLERY of artists who enjoy looking at and depicting birds. The exhibit “Rare Birds,” on display through July 2, includes paintings, photography and sculpture by 15 regional artists who are fascinated by the world of birds. Participating artists include Suzanne Adan, Paula Bellacera, Mary Czechan Coldren, Diana Coleman, Lynn Criswell, Chris Daubert, Natasha Dikareva, Anne Gregory, Mark Gleason, Sasinun Kladpetch, Nelson Loskamp, Katie McCann, Mike Stevens, Marsha Schindler and Sandy Whetstone. Nelson Loskamp’s paintings center on childhood memories of pet birds, like Sam, a destructive
Cockatoo who swore a blue streak. For Paula Bellacera and Natasha Dikareva, birds are linked to spiritual beliefs and cultural traditions that see birds as a conduit to the heavens and a symbol of power. Katie McCann creates hybrid human/bird creatures to question the malecentric naming of birds, in her collage titled “Why Are There No Queen Birds?” Chris Daubert’s “Flock” includes hanging buildings crafted out of Plexiglas. Local birds, as seen from sighting at his Dixon studio, fly across each one of the small structures, lit up by LED lights. But even bird watching can’t escape from larger societal issues of racism. Avid birder Christian Cooper, a comic book author who is African American, was the subject of a verbal attack from a white woman in Central Park that went viral a few weeks ago. He stated that it was not the first time it had happened, but that his love for birds went beyond the incident. “We should be out here. The birds belong to all of us,” he said. “The birds don’t care what color you are.” Cooper, who documented the incident on video and is the director of the Audubon Society’s New York Chapter, had told Amy Cooper to leash her dog. She in turn responded by calling the police to announce that an African American man was threatening her. The incident is part of a month of racist attacks in America that have provoked many of us in the art

This is a conversation that is as pertinent as any
in our society, and it’s time for all of us in the art world to stop avoiding, denying or playing down our role in direct or indirect complicity with racism. In other words, we have to be willing to
engage in conflict and to dig deep. I’m not great at this — most of the time, I do just want to look at the birds, but that’s really my white privilege talking.

‘The King of Staten Island’ should be de-throned Contrived drama is a mean-spirited waste of time
‘The King of Staten Island’ Starring: Pete Davidson, Marisa Tomei, Bill Burr, Bel Powley, Steve Buscemi, Ricky Velez, Lou Wilson, Moises Arias and Maude Apatow Rating: R, for drug use, sexual candor, brief violence and gore, and relentless profanity and vulgarity
BY DERRICK BANG Enterprise film critic I cannot imagine this film’s target audience. For starters, calling it a comedy is false advertising; nothing is funny here. Not even remotely amusing. If writer/director Judd Apatow has made this for millennials, it’s a savagely damning portrait. Are we seriously to believe that anything about this misbegotten drama’s protagonist is endearing? Even given Apatow’s decency-shredding tendencies, and fondness for vulgarity, “The King of Staten Islandâ€? is way, way beyond tolerable. It’s available as an ondemand streaming rental, at a premium price. At its core, the script — by Apatow, Dave Sirus and star Pete Davidson — is a redemption saga. Meaning, we spend the first two acts watching ruthlessly selfish, 24-year-old, weed-smoking degenerate Scott Carlin (Davidson) abuse everybody in his orbit ‌ after which we’re supposed to cheer him on during the third act, when he starts getting his act together. Sorry, but no; this formula works only if the character in question deserves redemption — which Scott most certainly does not. On top of which, the character dynamics here don’t exist in anything remotely approaching reality. While higher than a kite, and egged on by his “friends,â€? Scott starts to tattoo a 9-year-old boy ‌ and he doesn’t get locked up for
COURTESY PHOTO
Scott (Pete Davidson) sees nothing wrong with staying home with his mother (Marisa Tomei) most nights, and watching mindless television. Alas, when this cozy dynamic is threatened by a newcomer, Scott becomes even meaner than usual. child abuse? Worse still, the boy’s father — following an initial furious tirade — quickly turns forgiving, because he wants to start dating Scott’s mother?!? This is supposed to seem reasonable? Not in this universe. This script — and premise — are forced contrivances stretched far beyond the snapping point. Scott, a foul-mouthed Failure To Launch, still lives with his mother, Margie (Marisa Tomei, who does her best to bring some class and charm to these dire proceedings). Their lives have remained on hold ever since her husband, Scott’s father, died in action as a Staten Island fireman. Margie maintains a living room shrine to her late husband; Scott has weaponized his grief as an excuse to be nasty to everybody.
He’s a would-be tattoo “artist� who isn’t very good, despite having inked up loser buddies Oscar (Ricky Velez), Richie (Lou Wilson) and Igor (Moises Arias). Their notion of fun is getting stoned while playing video games, and being vulgar with a gaggle of similarly vacuous female friends. Remove the profanity from their “conversations,� and they’d be forced to stare silently at each other. (This is scripting? I think not.) The one exception is Kelsey (Bel Powley), Scott’s sorta-kinda girlfriend — he eschews the label — who genuinely wants to better herself. Points to her, and to Powley, who delivers one of the film’s few authentichuman-being performances. Which means, of course, that Scott treats Kelsey like dirt.
Following the ill-advised tattooed-child incident, the father in question — Bill Burr, as Ray — begins the aforementioned relationship with Margie, much to Scott’s disgust and horror. The latter emotion erupts because Ray’s also a Staten Island fireman, so how (Scott wonders) could his mother risk such heartache a second time? This seems a reasonable reaction, were this a reasonable scenario. But it isn’t; Davidson is much too successful at making Scott a deplorable jerk. Numbnuts sidebars wander in, as if from outer space. Ray and his ex-wife think nothing of assigning Scott — who’s blindingly obvious bad news — to walk their two young children to school each morning. (Seriously?) Oscar, Richie and Igor decide to break into a pharmacy late
one night, to “make their fortune� by stealing and reselling all manner of drugs. Scott repeatedly lives down to — and beneath — everybody’s lowest expectations. That includes college-bound younger sister Claire (Maude Apatow, sadly wasted in a role that feels like a pointless afterthought). And then, whoosh, the third act suddenly hijacks us into an entirely different (and vastly superior) movie. Scott becomes something of a mascot to the crew at Ray’s fire station: a thoroughly engaging gang supervised by a veteran dubbed “Papa� (Steve Buscemi, a welcome presence). But even Buscemi, good as he is, can’t sell the film’s most ludicrous line. Noting Ray’s ongoing disapproval of Scott — the two have maintained a tempestuous
relationship — Papa looks sagely at his colleague and asks, “You ever gonna give this kid a break, or what?� Cue the roll of eyes, and a mental scream: “Or what! Or what! He doesn’t deserve a break!� It seems obvious that this portion of the film comes from Davidson, a regular on “Saturday Night Live� since 2014; his father was a firefighter and firstresponder who died when the Marriott World Trade Center collapsed on 9/11. We’ll never know if Davidson, on his own, might have written a better script; what’s obvious is that, by the time Apatow and Sirus got done, the result was vulgar, tasteless rubbish. We’re also long past due for a new Hollywood rule: Self-indulgent films of this nature shouldn’t be allowed to exceed 95 minutes. This appalling junk runs an interminable 136 minutes, the first two-thirds of which are akin to rootcanal surgery. Without anesthesia. You’ve been warned. — Read more of Derrick Bang’s film criticism at http://derrickbang. blogspot.com. Comment on this review at www. davisenterprise.com.
Arts Center reimagines its summer programs BY STACIE FRERICHS Special to The Enterprise
D
o you, your children or grandchildren need creative inspiration, materials or direction for art projects this summer? Davis Arts Center has pivoted our summer programming to provide creativity and art to our community with art kits complete with materials, instructions, videos and online “office� hours. As a bustling arts organization that serves children, teens and adults, Davis Arts Center staff has given careful consideration to the risks involved with resuming our in-person programs and came to the conclusion that the COVID-19 pandemic called for an alternate plan this summer. We will miss our all-day Summer Arts Camp in 2020 but look forward to our reimagined summer programming. With more than a little
research and many brainstorming sessions, our staff developed the plan to offer a modified version of our camps. Our virtual Summer Arts Camp will run for five weeks from July 6 through Aug. 7, with each week exploring a new medium: Drawing in Color, Painting, Drawing in Black and White, Sculpture and Clay, and Collage. Although they are called “virtual,� the camps can be enjoyed with or without screen time. Now that our children have been engaged in distance learning, our staff realized that more time on our devices may not function as the break from the daily grind that summer usually provides. The online supplemental material is designed to enhance your camper’s experience, but not be the focus of it. Here is how it works. The Friday before camp starts an art kit can be picked up curbside at
DAVIS ARTS CENTER Davis Arts Center. Shipping is also available for campers who register in time to receive kits. Art Kits will include all materials needed for the week, an activity checklist for caregivers and campers and written project instructions. Links to online instructional videos from Davis Arts Center instructors and other arts organizations are included. Campers also will have the opportunity to participate in three optional drop-in Zoom meetings to discuss projects, show off work in progress and submit questions for Q&A sessions. Camp is designed to keep campers creatively engaged with fun, at-home projects. They are constructed so that projects can be completed with the art kit and written instructions only.
It is not mandatory for campers to watch the how-to videos or attend the Zoom meetings. The virtual material (how-to videos and Zoom check-ins) are optional. Most projects are designed for ages 8 years and up, and suitable for campers starting at age 5 with parental help, but teens and adults will find projects to do as well. The cost is $100 per week, which includes one Art Kit. Additional Art Kits can be purchased for $25 each. Davis Arts Center also offers an early bird discount for all five weeks at $450. To register, please visit http://www.davisartscenter.org/ As we have begun designing the camps, our staff agreed that we would enjoy every art kit and the accompanying projects ourselves. We will be doing the projects and encourage adults to join in as well.
Another idea is if you have grandkids in another location, you can buy the camp with the kit shipping option for your grandkids and then purchase an additional art kit for yourself. During the week of camp, check in with your grandkids and do the projects with them or watch the videos through Facetime, Zoom or Google Hangouts. Of course this works for nieces, nephews and friends’ kids too. The early bird discount expires on June 22, so sign up soon. Due to the time it takes to build the kits and order materials, you must purchase camps at least a week in advance. Registration deadlines are approaching soon. We look forward to greeting you on Fridays this summer while we are passing out Art Kits in front of Davis Arts Center! — Stacie Frerichs is executive director of the Davis Arts Center; her column is published monthly.
PENCE: Up to five at once may visit From Page B1 Last week, I was in awe of the tremendous public art displayed in town to honor those who were killed by acts of police brutality, such as the mural of George Floyd on the corner of Denali and Shasta streets. Also very moving is the series of silkscreen prints produced by youths at TANA (Taller Arte del Nuevo Amanecer) of Floyd and others, seen most recently as part of a community art installation at Central Park and evolving as we speak. It is an honor to be part of a community where grief, anger and hope can be expressed simultaneously, in a public way.

13. We value the health and safety of our public tremendously, so we will notify the public as soon as we have completed our preparations. Due to the impact of COVID-19, we’ve had to cancel the community art show, “Exhibit It,� but it will return next summer. We’ve also postponed our June Treasure Rummage Sale to 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Friday, July 31 and Saturday, Aug. 1, and 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 2. We are still accepting donations for the sale, such as china, jewelry, art, collectibles, clothing, small furniture, frames, books or similar items. Our ceramics exhibit upstairs has been extended until June 28 for those of you who haven’t seen it online or in person. Thank you for your support of the Pence Gallery during this difficult time. We hope that you will visit us in July when we aim to reopen to the public with our normal hours, 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. — Natalie Nelson is the executive director and curator of the Pence Gallery; her column is published monthly.

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE — FRIDAY, JUNE 12, 2020
Future home, sweet home
Murray snagged by Rays
F
our years ago, Tanner Murray wasn’t even sure he would be playing college baseball, let alone getting a swing at the major leagues. But the hard-hitting, slickfielding UC Davis shortstop heard his name called by the Tampa Rays on Thursday in the fourth round of the truncated MLB draft. He was the 125th player taken overall. The San Lorenzo Valley High (Ben Lomond) product was the find of Aggie assistant coach Brett Lindgren, a Santa Cruz High alum. While Murray flew under the radar of college recruiters, Lindgren urged UCD skipper Matt Vaughn to “get Tanner on campus.” A good idea, too. Murray walked on, hit over .300 during his freshman campaign and was named Big West Freshman Field Player of the Year. Last year, he hit .364, and this spring he was at .310 and percolating. The Aggies were 9-7 before the panMURRAY demic pulled the Aggie infielder plug on a prompicked by Rays in fourth round ising season. Murray, according to Vaughn, has done it all for Davis. As a team leader, he not only gets on base, drives in and scores runs, but he makes the game fun for those around him. I talked with Vaughn on Thursday night and wondered if congratulations were in order for the skipper who might now lose his best player to The Bigs. If he returns to UCD, Murray would have two years of eligibility left ... “Yes. Congratulations are in order, without sounding funny about it,” Vaughn told me. “You want a player that deserves to get that next step — and that’s what Tanner is getting. “He’s an incredible player. In my 32 years associated with the program, he’s one of the best (Aggies) I’ve ever seen. He plays the game with joy, has fun playing the game and flat-out competes.

UCD breaks ground on sports performance center BY OWEN YANCHER Enterprise staff writer Shovels finally hit the dirt last month as construction kicked off on the future home of the UC Davis athletic department. Less than two years after Aggie Director of Athletics Kevin Blue’s announcement of the soon-to-be 50,000 square-foot Student Athlete Performance Center on La Rue Road — a project spearheaded by what Blue then described as “the largest donation in UCD athletics history” courtesy of alumni Diane and Bruce Edwards — a full-sized grass practice gridiron has already been completed. Additional support from Bruce and Marie West, and Mike and Renee Childs, among others, has helped finance more than 90 percent of the project cost. Blue and UCD Chancellor Gary May are set to host a virtual groundbreaking ceremony at 10 a.m. Sunday, June 14, to honor donors.
UCD Associate Athletic Director of Facilities, Operations and Capital Projects Maggie Fenton says the $40 million undertaking at the former Aggie football tailgate site (at the northeast end of UC Davis Health Stadium at La Rue and Hutchison roads) is on track to be finished by 2022. The state-of-the-art facility will house intercollegiate athletics offices, team meeting spaces, a satellite UC Davis Health sports medicine clinic, academic lecture halls and a much-needed and expanded weight room. Happy that the COVID-19 pandemic hasn’t derailed any scheduled work, Fenton says that besides moving planning meetings online, everything’s gone according to plan. Following a three-firm design competition in 2019, San Francisco-based architecture giant Gensler has been tapped along with builder Aecom Hunt. The two firms recently partnered to develop Major League

The UC Davis athletic department is one shovel of dirt closer to the opening of its state-of-the-art Student Athlete Performance Center when crews broke ground last month. A virtual ground-breaker ceremony is Sunday. Soccer heavyweight Los Angeles FC’s new 22,000-seat digs, Banc of California Stadium. “Everyone’s excited about this,” Fenton adds. “It’s going to be great for athletics, but with the auditoriums and UC Davis Health component as well, it’s going to bring different (branches) of the university together.”
On a different subject, the big boss when it comes to sports facilities on campus, Fenton says it’s still far too early to make any kind of prediction about what things might look like come fall regarding fans in the stands. The former Stanford Stadium operations chief says school officials

Bedeviling time for DHS Smyte wonders when practice may begin ■ Editor’s note: This is the first in a two-part series looking at Davis High’s football team and its efforts to stay on track for a fall season.
BY BRUCE GALLAUDET Enterprise sports editor They’re like horses awaiting a race, champing at the bit to roll down the track. The only problem? The starter is holding the gate ... As the mixed messages in the siege against COVID-19 continue, everybody at Davis High is doing what they can — while “practicing” separately from their teammates — to prepare for fall sports. One such team, Blue Devil football, has been active in trying to keep the wheels on. DHS is coming off a brilliant season in which it went 10-2 and won a Delta League championship. More than 20 key personnel are returning. But all the preparation for an uber-contact sport runs contrary to the theme of social distancing. The challenges of getting ready for a season that may not happen wear on the psyches of those involved. Even if prep teams take to the gridiron in less than three months, the environment probably will be very different than seasons past. Davis High football coach Steve Smyte spoke about how his program has approached getting ready. He was also asked when football will start and what it will look like ... “I hope you weren’t thinking I was the Oracle from ‘The Matrix,’ ” Smyte said when The
Enterprise called. “I have no clue. I have been in contact with some other coaches at other schools, and everybody has no clue. “If the Sacramento schools don’t go and we go, we’ll end up playing like … Sierra Foothill League teams, as best we can.” If Sacramento County shuts down high school sports, it would wipe out the Delta League, and schools in Placer and El Dorado counties would hear their phones ringing. Recently, California school reopening guidelines were issued by Tony Thurmond, state superintendent of public instruction. While high school sports were briefly addressed in a 62-page guide book, “Stronger Together: A Guidebook for the Safe Reopening of California’s Public Schools,” the discussion of athletics was far from definitive. “Vague,” said one critic. The California Department of Public Health last week handed the ball off to local counties and school districts to determine how (or if ) sports will reappear. On Tuesday, Yolo County health officials reissued the state’s “Roadmap to Recovery,” which said the following: “Guidelines and considerations do not reflect the full scope of issues that school communities will need to address, which range from day-today site-based logistics to the social and emotional wellbeing of students

UC DAVIS PHYSICAL EDUCATION
What’s in store for storied PE program? ■ Editor’s note: The following is the third and final segment in a threepart series exploring the physicaleducation program at UC Davis, which now faces an uncertain future following the major’s elimination and a looming UC budget tightening. In today’s installment, program director Barbara Jahn discusses summer classes, how the department is navigating the COVID-19 era and what fall classes might look like should students be able to attend them in-person.
BY OWEN YANCHER Enterprise staff writer As so many schools and businesses continue to navigate uncharted waters amid the COVID-19 pandemic, so, too, have the members of the UC Davis physical-education department over the last three months. More than 7,000 students enroll annually in almost 200 program course offerings. Classes range from archery to aquatics, racquetball and rock climbing, in
“For a lot of students, these courses are like a lifeline. Students have said that these classes, this break from their schedules, has been what’s kept them going.”
addition to the more traditional podium-style lecture courses. Unique to UC schools, by taking Davis’ physical-education classes, students can earn anywhere between one-half to three academic credits while often learning from Division I college coaches. But with in-person instruction suspended this past spring quarter, physicaleducation lecturers have had to get creative. Greg Chapla (a longtime Barbara Jahn presence on the Aggie football sidelines as a special-teams PE department director and running-backs mentor) teaches some of those rock- that students can participate in climbing sections. He’s adapted remotely. “The main focus has been on to the campus closure by modifying his class to a more strength mental health and wellness,” and cardio-focused seminar — according to women’s swim coach one with a climbing emphasis. Barbara Jahn, who’s served as the Some instructors have turned to department’s director since 2017. articles or books on physical fit- Along with Lou Bronzan, another ness and hold online weekly dis- former Aggie football coach who cussions with their students. now oversees the program’s Others hold live workout sessions academic minor in coaching
principles and methods, they’ve shifted focus to keeping students physically active at home. “In some cases, we’ll have students make videos of themselves,” Jahn says. “That way we can see them performing exercises or techniques and can then critique them.” Luckily for the PE department, each of its summer courses (which include Sport in American Society along with Healthful Living, Drugs and Society and an injury prevention and care course taught by Aggie athletic trainer Lisa Varnum) are podium-style — making for an easy transition to remote learning, which extends through the summer at UCD. Students and staff have their fingers crossed that come fall they’ll be able to physically attend classes again, even if it means new social-distancing safety protocols in order to protect students. Jahn points to Yolo County Human Health and Public
Service Agency (HSA) guidelines that have already been released for lap-swimming activities that can be followed by class instructors come fall. “For a lot of students, these courses are like a lifeline,” Jahn explains. “Students have said that these classes, this break from their schedules, has been what’s kept them going. “I think it gives a lot of them something to look forward to — something that breaks up the monotony of such a demanding school schedule,” she adds. “It gets them up and about and moving and gives them an outlet to shed some stress.” However, should school remain closed through the fall quarter, much remains up in the air. UC President Janet Napolitano has already announced a systemwide salary freeze and with campus administrators seeking ways to cut costs, Jahn has reason to be concerned.

B6 THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE
FRIDAY, JUNE 12, 2020
DHS: Practice on hold GALLAUDET: Murray joins elite group From Page B3 and staff; further guidance is forthcoming, including on school-based sports and extracurricular activities.” This all came with the proviso that “this guidance is interim.” That’s something the nation has known all too well these past 12 weeks. DHS Athletic Director Jeff Lorenson last week emailed a sports-planning status update in which he told student-athletes and parents that “the district’s decision on fall sports will be based on recommendations and guidelines from the National Federation of High Schools, California Interscholastic Federation, Yolo County Office of Public Health and Yolo County Office of Education.” The only concrete information emanating from the message: sports athletic clearance for individuals is underway and physical exams must be administered and reported beginning June 1. Lorenson joined the chorus in saying he’s just as eager as the next person to get the show on the road, but so much has to be considered. For example, one Davis schools official said Thursday that while Superintendent John Bowes and his staff have been wrestling with a local edict, “(new) guidance on (sports) and other issues was just issued today ... (information) we’ll need to review.” The spokesperson indicated Thursday afternoon that Bowes will have a message Thursday, “but as of now, (there are) no changes to (Lorenson’s note) of last week.” What’s a coach to do? What’s a player or parent to do? Smyte was asked that,
should the cloud continue to hover over the county — and specifically Davis High — is there a chance that elite student-athletes will bolt for high-profile schools that have guaranteed fall athletics? “That’s definitely a possibility. And I understand,” the former UC Davis and Boise State assistant reported. “If a player wanted to do that, I get it. “I’m not going to mess with a family or an individual who thinks that would be best for their future. I’m going to be supportive of our players, regardless of what they do. I love ‘em.” Smyte praised Lorenson and the school district for keeping coaches in the loop, even if officials — from the World Health Organization to Yolo County— find themselves chasing their tails trying to get a handle on what to do amid the pandemic. “We understand what the situation is,” added the coach. “It’s hard for them to have clarity ... with health officials’ (pronouncements).” Messages from elected and public health officials are changing “from week to week, sometimes every day,” Smyte said. Nonetheless, when that long-awaited opening of the starting gate happens, Smyte says ... “We have a game plan, regardless of what they tell us. We’ll be ready to go.” Notes: Read in Sunday’s Davis Enterprise about how the football Blue Devils have been Zooming through preparations — for both play in the fall and to bring the school year to a championship close in the classroom. — Reach Bruce Gallaudet at bgallaudet41@gmail.com or call 530-320-4456. Follow Gallaudet on Twitter: @BGsportsinDavis.
From Page B3 “It’s fun to see that guy get this opportunity.” Attempts to reach Murray before deadline were unsuccessful — but that’s understandable as he was surrounded by family and was busy with sundry calls from well-wishers and, I’m sure, the Rays. Murray is the fifth Aggie drafted in the past four seasons. Caleb Van Blake went to Cincinnati last year, Ryan Anderson entered the Texas organization in 2018 and pitchers Robert Garcia and Orlando Razo were taken in 2017 by the Kansas City Royals and Seattle Mariners, respectively.
In history, Murray becomes the 54th UC Davis baseballer selected in the draft and only the fifth to be drafted in the first five rounds (the first since Jake Jeffries went to Tampa Bay in the third round in 2008). Vaughn knows the Rays are getting the real deal ... “We knew as soon as he came in ... he could be our shortstop,” the coach recalls. “And he did that, did everything we thought he could do … and more. He took advantage of that opportunity. “Between innings during warmups music playing, he’d be dancing around, having fun but
also competing at a very high level.” Vaughn admits that Murray “has made me a better coach because there was a time in the past where that guy who was messing around and having fun? I would want him to be more serious about it.” But when the music stops, Tanner Murray is nails. Maybe, as he matriculates through the ranks of the Florida franchise’s program he’ll have time to pursue a book. Call it “The Joy of Baseball.” Notes: In 2019, Murray was an all-BWC first teamer after being named to the second team his
sophomore season. He is the son of Scott and Chantel Murray and has an older sister, London. ... Among Murray’s many Aggie accomplishments, he tied his own school record for single-game doubles during UC Davis’ 24-inning win over Loyola Marymount this spring (a game in which Murray also scored every Aggie run). ... Along the way, Murray toiled in the prestigious summertime Cape Cod League as an Orleans Firebird in 2019. — Reach Sports Editor Bruce Gallaudet at bgallaudet41@gmail. com or call him at 530320-4456.
HOME: More renovations on horizon From Page B3 continue to point to guidance from Yolo County and California public health officials. “The NCAA has made some blanket statements about when student-athletes can return and start working out voluntarily,” she notes. “But
it’s still up to each county, individually, to OK things. And with every school operating under the county, city and state guidelines they fall under, it’ll be an interesting next few months, for sure.” Notes: Besides the sportshealth complex, UCD also has started renovations of the
Bob Foster Team Center and Aggie football/lacrosse locker rooms ... This past year, work was also completed on new locker rooms at softball’s La Rue Field and Schaal Aquatics Center’s team center. — Reach Owen Yancher at oyancher@davisenterprise. net.
FENTON Associate AD of Facilities, Operations and Capital Projects
PROGRAM: UCD set apart from other UCs From Page B3 Even before the pandemic, lecturers leaving or retiring from the physical-education program were not being replaced, even while campus enrollment swelled and classes remained popular. “I’m saddened that administrators haven’t always seen the value in us being an uncommon program,” Jahn adds. “The fact that we were different and uncommon is something that over the years has attracted so many students, athletes
and teachers to come to Davis. “I know Kevin Blue, our athletic director, wants Davis to continue to be different from other universities in how we uphold the importance of education in relation to athletics. And just because other schools might not offer academic credit for fitness classes, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t. We’ve always been different and that’s part of what’s always made UC Davis stand out.” Notes: Additional activity courses offered by the UCD physicaleducation department include: ab
conditioning, aerobic bootcamp, aerobic running, aquatic boot camp, badminton, cardio/core fitness, field hockey, golf, Hapkido, interval weightlifting, Kokikai Akido, kickboxing, military conditioning, self-defense for women, soccer, swimming, tai chi, taekwondo, table tennis, tennis, track, ultimate Frisbee, volleyball and water polo, among others. — Reach Owen Yancher at oyancher@davisenterprise.net.

How to keep your car fresh when you're not driving as often Special to The Enterprise During a season that's usually devoted to adventure, many of us have been forced to stick a little closer to home. When it's finally time to return to our globetrotting ways, it's vital to make sure our vehicles are ready. That means taking active steps now, while our cars are mostly idle. How do we make sure they're in top shape for the journeys to come? There's no one better to ask than Charles, the Humble Mechanic, whose YouTube tips have helped millions get the most out of their vehicles.
Get charged up If you're charged up for adventure, we don't blame you. As we wait for the pathway to become clearer, Charles notes it's important for our batteries to stay charged, too. "Things like big temperature swings and not being driven for extended periods of time cause extra strain on the vehicle battery," he says. "With the average life
span of a vehicle battery being three to five years, we want to do everything we can to keep it healthy." The key to getting your battery in gear? Using it regularly will keep it charged. Other tips include making sure your car is locked - so all computer systems know to sleep - and unplugging items from your cigarette lighter.
Be entirely confident Tires are your car's only safety device that touches the road. While you wait to head back onto the highway for an extended trip, make sure they're in excellent working order. There's a danger to look out for if your car has been sitting for a long time: flat-spotting, or isolated flattening in parts of the tire that are in contact with the ground. The easiest fix: driving your car at least once each week. "Flat spotting is variable and worse with heavy vehicles," says Nokian Tyres Director of Products Steve
Bourassa. "Cold weather will make it more prominent. Some might see it overnight while others might only experience it after sitting for a week." If you've driven several miles and still feel vibration, this may be the problem and you should take your car to a tire dealer. Now is also a good time to make sure you're driving the right tires. "Seasonal tires are the optimal choice for those living in a northern climate," Bourassa says. "It is important to change to appropriate tires for spring and summer. Winter tires will wear quickly in hot weather, and braking distances will also increase compared to your summer rubber." If you drive one set of tires year-round but live in an area with unpredictable winters, it might be a good time to consider all-weather
tires, which allow for yearround use but better protect you from wintry roads. Once you're confident you're riding on the right tires, be sure they're up to speed. Use the penny test to check tread depth, and use a tire pressure gauge to ensure they're properly inflated you can typically find your car's recommended psi level inside the driver's side door jamb or owner manual. "It's important to ensure appropriate inflation pressures for your vehicle," Bourassa said. "Also check the condition of your tires, looking for cracking or discoloration that could be a sign of damage. If you notice anything unusual, bring it to your tire dealer for an expert opinion."
Embrace the fluid situation Next, make sure your car's juices are flowing properly. "There are about eight
ating 4 Celebr er 1 Years f O S vice!
fluids in most cars," Charles says. "That includes engine oil, transmission fluid, coolant/antifreeze, power steering fluid, brake fluid, differential fluid, windshield washer fluid and, of course, gasoline." Check your dipstick to make sure your oil is at the right level. Check the other fluids while you're at it, seeking out a dealer for help with tougher-to-measure fluids.
Keep your motor running There's one main rule of thumb Charles recommends: Keeping your car active, even though you aren't able to go everywhere
you want right now. "Cars are meant to be driven," says Charles. "Cars with high miles always seem to have fewer issues than cars that were barely driven. I take my cars for a cruise every 10-14 days. This gets the tires up to temperature and rolling, the fluids circulating, and the battery charged. Windows down and radio up is also good to clear the brain." Here's to recharging now, so we're ready when it's time to journey once again.
