Lawsuits pile up against feds over international student order BY CALEB HAMPTON Enterprise staff writer On Wednesday, the University of California announced plans to sue the federal government to stop a new policy that could strip international students of their visas and force them to leave the United States. On Thursday,

California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said the state will file a lawsuit on behalf of California Community Colleges and California State University to block the same rule. The policy, announced Monday by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), requires foreign students to take

in-person classes this fall or leave the country. Students who are currently abroad will be barred from entering the U.S. if they can’t prove at least some of their instruction will be delivered faceto-face. There are roughly a million international students enrolled at U.S. colleges and universities,

more than 160,000 of whom study in California. In June, UC Davisannounced a planto offer remote instruction for all classes and also hold some in-person classes should public health guidance allow. The university will need to certify that each individual international student who enters or remains in

the U.S. “is not taking an entirely online course load,” the ICE policy states. If in-person classes are moved online midway through the term — something state or local authorities could order schools to do — international students

Unanimous council vote puts DISC on ballot

The line of people seeking a COVID-19 test at the Veterans Memorial Center on Friday stretched back toward Community Pool. More than 400 people were tested on Monday and hundreds more were expected Thursday evening.

Davis voters will have the final say in November on a proposed innovation center and housing development that has been in the making for years. The City Council on Tuesday night voted unanimously to put the Davis Innovation and Sustainability Campus on the November ballot for a Measure J/R vote. The proposal would bring 2.64 million square feet of business and innovation space as well as up to 850 residential units to the northeast corner of Mace Boulevard and Interstate 80. The vote in November will mark the sixth time Davis residents have exercised their right to vote on a land use development on the city’s periphery. Since Measure J was first enacted 20 years ago and renewed as Measure R 10 years later, three projects have been defeated at the polls (Covell Village in 2005; Wildhorse Ranch in 2009; and Nishi 1.0 in 2016) and two approved (Nishi 2.0 and the West Davis Active Adult Community,

Coronavirus cases surge in Yolo County BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY

serves as the districtwide summer meal distribution site.

Enterprise staff writer The surge in coronavirus cases in Yolo County produced more grim news this week, including more deaths, ICU beds that were temporarily at capacity and the highest oneday total of new cases since the pandemic began. Additional cases were reported at skilled nursing facilities in Davis and Woodland and have shut down a West Sacramento high school that

In the last seven days, the county has reported 189 new cases, 17 hospitalizations and four deaths from COVID-19. Thursday alone brought the highest one-day total yet, with 43 new cases reported. Sixteen county residents suffering from COVID-19 were in hospitals on Thursday. “Behind every number is a family, a person and a community and our thoughts and

prayers go out to them,” county spokeswoman Jenny Tan said Thursday. Said Supervisor Don Saylor of Davis: “These sick, these lost, these people… are our friends, our family, our neighbors, our co-workers, our community. This is not abstract. This is not ideology.” The increase in cases and decrease in available ICU beds in Yolo County’s two hospitals (Sutter Davis and Woodland Memorial) landed the county

on the state’s monitoring list on Wednesday and raised alarm among local residents and officials. “As of today, Yolo County has 0% of staffed ICU beds available,” West Sacramento Mayor Christopher Cabaldon tweeted on Wednesday. “This is not a drill.”

Briefly PD gets mental health support Woodland police officers are getting some backup in the form of mental health services support. Beginning this week, Crisis Intervention Specialist Robert Villarreal joined officers in the field when they respond to mental health calls. “Robert is an integral part of our team,” Woodland Police Chief Derrek Kaff said. “While our officers do get crisis intervention training, Robert’s experience and expertise gives us an invaluable tool to keep our community safe.” A Crisis Intervention Specialist will help officers determine if a person needs medical help, counseling or access to services. Up to 25 percent of an officer’s day can be spent dealing with mental health issues. Having a specialist assist officers ultimately leads to better outcomes for the individual and for the community. Villarreal brings more than 20 years of mental health work experience to the department. He worked with Woodland Police Department in 2015, but the program ended because of lack of funding. Thanks to the partnership with Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency, the program is back up and running.

They don’t take kindly to reporters I realize the president of the United States wants to convince anyone who will listen that those of us who type for a living are “The enemy of the American people,” and he apparently has some followers in a remote county in the beautiful state of Oregon. “Malheur County asks sheriff to investigate local newspaper for contacting public officials,” said the headline over a story originally reported by the Washington Post several months ago. Now wait a minute. If I’m reading this correctly, the paper’s reporters are in hot water simply for contacting public officials. Does the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution not apply in certain parts of Oregon? Worse yet, the newspaper in question is known as “The Enterprise,” which causes a special kinship with those reporters to well up in my heart. “The Malheur Enterprise, a small newspaper in Eastern Oregon, spent months investigating a state lawmaker’s business deals and contract work in Malheur County,” the story begins. “But on Monday, the newspaper

reported an unusual development: now the county wants to investigate the Malheur Enterprise — for harassment.” Apparently, Enterprise reporters made too many phone calls and sent too many emails to people who didn’t wish to have their activities scrutinized. Malheur County occupies the southeastern corner of Oregon, touching Nevada to the south and Idaho to the east. While Oregon as a whole is a reliably blue state, 28 of Oregon’s 36 counties, including Malheur, voted for Donald Trump in 2016. Malheur, in fact, gave Trump an overwhelming 71.8 percent of the vote compared to just 22.2 percent for Hillary Clinton. Maybe that explains this recent

attack on the press and maybe it doesn’t. But an attack it is. “The newspaper broke the news Monday morning after learning that Malheur County’s legal counsel had asked the sheriff to investigate whether reporters’ persistent attempts to contact officials, sometime after business hours or using their personal email accounts, amounted to a violation of the law.”

I

suspect if Woodard and Bernstein ever visit Malheur County, they’ll be arrested on the spot. “State Rep. Greg Smith, the lawmaker at the center of the journalists’ investigation who serves as director of Malheur County Development, complained to the newspaper: ‘It is not appropriate that you are sending emails to employees using their personal email accounts on the weekends.’ ” Reporters chasing a story on the weekend? What’s the matter with those people? Smith requested “to not have our employees contacted outside of their work place.” And why did I suspect that

Mr. Smith would be fine with after-hours contact if the stories in The Enterprise were always full of praise for his activities. “Les Zaitz, editor and publisher of The Enterprise, said in a statement that reporters were only trying to do their jobs.” A likely story. Turns out Zaitz is a two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist from his days at the esteemed Oregonian out of Portland. Said Zaitz, “Suggesting that professional journalists are behaving as criminals in gathering vital information for the community appears to be an effort to silence and intimidate The Enterprise. We are a small, independently owned news source trying to hold public officials accountable. Rather than provide information and truth, local officials appear more interested in criminalizing a profession protected by the First Amendment.” I don’t know if the Malheur Enterprise sells subscriptions by mail, but if they do, they’ve just picked up one more subscriber. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenterprise.net.

Hearing on Bretton $8 million awarded to driver Woods postponed injured at Capay warehouse BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer Wednesday’s scheduled meeting of the Davis Planning Commission has been postponed at the request of Bretton Woods developer Dave Taormino. On the agenda was Taormino’s request to remove from the project’s development agreement all language related to the Davis-based buyers program, which had promised 90 percent of for-sale units in the West Davis senior housing development would be reserved for individuals with ties to the city of Davis. The program had been a key selling point for the project, previously known as the West Davis Active Adult Community, which was approved by Davis voters in November 2018. The staff report prepared for Wednesday’s meeting said Taormino wished to remove the program from the development agreement because of a fear of litigation. A lawsuit challenging the legality of the Davis-based buyers program was filed prior to the November 2018 election, alleging the program violated federal fair housing law and was discriminatory, given that the city of Davis is a largely white community to begin with so buyers qualifying for the program would largely mirror that. Both Taormino and city

officials publicly defended the program and the lawsuit was subsequently withdrawn. However, given the issue was not decided by a court, “the applicant feels this leaves a continued threat of litigation,” the staff report noted. Additionally, city staff said, “the legality of the provision would be difficult to enforce.” In exchange for removing the program, city staff said Taormino would agree to make all residences in the development 100-percent electric. On Tuesday, Taormino requested that the matter be continued to the next available Planning Commission meeting. “The purpose of continuation is to allow me an opportunity to put in writing our proposal and its justification that I intended to deliver orally to the Planning Commission,” Taormino said. “Unfortunately, not doing so initially has led to erroneous conclusions by some members of the Davis community,” he said. “With the continuance my intended oral presentation and the supporting logic will be in writing so that interested parties will have the materials in advance of forming and expressing their opinion. I apologize for not making the substitute program available in advance of my scheduled presentation.”

New policing unit makes gun and drug arrest BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer A newly formed Davis Police Department unit arrested a Woodland man on weapon and drug charges Wednesday. The CommunityOriented Policing and Problem-Solving Unit (COPPS), which works in cooperation with citizens to address problems in their neighborhoods, served a search warrant Wednesday in the 100 block of Kern Avenue following an investigation into “recent, illegal firearms sales and opiate sales in the city of Davis,”

Deputy Police Chief Paul Doroshov said. “A total of seven firearms along with high-capacity magazines were located,” including one gun determined to have been stolen in Connecticut, Doroshov added. COPPS officers booked 48-year-old Donald Cupler into the Yolo County Jail on suspicion of possessing illegal firearms, unlawful possession of ammunition and various drug charges including possession of heroin with the intent to distribute, according to Doroshov.

BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer WOODLAND — A Yolo County jury awarded nearly $8 million in damages this week to a former truck driver whose leg was amputated following a Capay warehouse accident. Monday’s verdict in favor of Bhupinder Singh and his wife Reena Rani came more than four months after the start of the Yolo Superior Court civil trial, which experienced repeated delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic that strictly limited the proceedings held inside the Woodland courthouse. The trial stemmed from an accident that occurred on July 21, 2017, as Singh, then 37, picked up produce at a Capay warehouse owned by Capay Inc., which also does business under the names Capay Fruits and Vegetables and Farm Fresh to You. According to Singh’s attorneys, Ricardo Echeverria and Stuart Chandler, a forklift operator “who failed to use proper caution in operating his

vehicle” ran over Singh as his truck was being loaded with pallets of tomatoes, ultimately resulting in the amputation of Singh’s right leg below the knee. The jury awarded a total of $10.5 million in damages but assigned 25 percent “comparative fault” to Singh in the mishap, which reduced the amount $7.9 million. Capay Inc.’s attorneys argued Singh should have gotten the forklift operator’s attention before walking through the active driving area. “Bhupinder was going about doing his job like any other normal day when this catastrophic and life-altering accident happened,” Echeverria, the trial’s lead counsel, said in a news release. Now under extensive medical care including the use of prosthetics, Singh no longer can work as a truck driver but currently is employed as a truck dispatcher, his attorneys said. Co-counsel Chandler noted that Singh, who lives in Clovis, “has been unable to enjoy activities we all take for granted such as taking walks with

his wife, playing with his children and helping around the home.” Brent Anderson, lead defense attorney for Capay Inc. in the civil case, could not be reached for comment Tuesday. Initially held during the first two weeks of March, the trial first was postponed March 16 as Yolo County issued a shelterin-place order and court officials postponed numerous court cases order to reduce the number of people entering the court building and curb exposure to coronavirus. Proceedings were scheduled to resume on May 11, then further delayed until June 29. At that point, two jurors were excused due to COVID-19 concerns. The 12 remaining jurors heard the remainder of the three-week trial, deliberating over two days before reaching Monday’s verdict. Judge Samuel McAdam presided over the trial. — Reach Lauren Keene at lkeene@davisenter prise.net or 530-7478048. Follow her on Twitter at @laurenkeene

Designation of the Original Four Davis Bike Lanes as City Landmarks

Project Locations: Third Street from B Street to K Street; J Street from Third Street to Eighth Street; Sycamore Lane from Russell Boulevard to West Eighth Street; and West Eighth from Sycamore to A Street. Property Owners / Applicant: City of Davis Historical Resources Management Commission 23 Russell Blvd., Davis, CA 95616 Project Description: The Historical Resources Management Commission is proposing that the City Council designate as Landmark resources the four original bike lanes in the City of Davis. In 2015, the City conducted a citywide survey that included evaluation of the four original bike lanes. The bike lanes evaluation (i.e., DPR 523A, Primary Record) found that the four Davis’ bicycle lanes were established in 1967. The roadway segments are 1) Third Street from B Street to K Street; 2) J Street from Third Street to Eighth Street; 3) Sycamore Lane from Russell Boulevard to West Eighth Street; and 4) West Eighth from Sycamore to A Street. These

were the first designated bicycle lanes opened in the City of Davis, California, and United States, according to the survey. Environmental Determination: The proposed designation of the original four bike lanes as historical resources is Categorically Exempt per Section 15331 of the CEQA Guidelines as a preservation effort in a manner consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Treatment of Historic Properties. Availability of Documents: Should an electronic copy of the document be required, members of the public may bring a thumb drive to the Department of Community Development and Sustainability to copy the document onto. Staff reports are available through the City’s website at: https://www.cityofdavis.org/city-hall/commissions-andcommittees/historical-resources-management-commission/ agendas. Staff reports for the public hearing are generally available five (5) days prior to the hearing date and may be available by contacting the project planner. Public Comments: All interested parties are invited to participate in the meeting electronically or by teleconference, or send written comments to Ike Njoku, Project Planner, City of Davis, Department of Community Development and Sustainability, 23 Russell Boulevard, Suite 2, Davis, California, 95616; or via email at: injoku@cityofdavis.org, no later than noon the date of the meeting. For questions, please call the project planner at (530) 757-5610, extension 7239. The City does not transcribe its proceedings. Persons who wish to obtain a verbatim record should arrange for attendance by a court reporter or for some other acceptable means of recordation. Such arrangements will be at the sole expense of the person requesting the recordation.

Busy week of arrests reported by Davis police BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer Two burglaries, a package theft and a roommate dispute led to multiple unrelated arrests this week, the Davis Police Department reported. Manuel Antonio BetetaMonterroso was arrested Sunday night at an apartment in the 500 block of Alvarado Avenue, where a woman arrived home around 11:20 p.m. to discover a man taking a shower in the bathroom. “She told officers she did not know the suspect and has never seen him before,” Deputy Police Chief Paul Doroshov said. “Upon checking the house, officers found a backpack (allegedly owned by the suspect) that contained items belonging to the victim’s family.” Beteta-Monterroso, 29, was

booked into the Yolo County Jail on suspicion of burglary, petty theft and aggravated trespassing, Doroshov said. On Monday, officers arrested a 37-year-old man after allegedly finding him in possession of a stolen Amazon package in the Covell Park area. A probation search of Woodland resident Matthew Ray Vandelinder led to the discovery of a knife, burglary tools and unspecified narcotics, Sgt. Janell Bestpitch said. He also went to the jail, facing charges of receiving stolen property, carrying a concealed dagger and drug and burglary tool possession. Police said the roommate dispute brewed over the weekend and culminated late Monday night in the 3000 block of Carmelo Lane, where the suspect allegedly tried to break into one housemate’s room

and brandished a knife at another. “The person arrested told his roommates he was going to kill them and mentioned he was looking for a gun he misplaced. Officers located the suspect in his room with a knife in his pocket” at about 11:30 p.m. Monday, Bestpitch said. Richard Amaya Jr., 39, was booked into the Yolo County Jail on charges of attempted burglary, criminal threats and brandishing a weapon, according to Bestpitch. Finally, an early-morning burglary at a South Davis construction site ended poorly for two Vacaville residents, police said. Surveillance cameras at a hotel construction zone in the 2700 block of Cowell Boulevard caught the suspected burglary in progress shortly after 4 a.m. Wednesday, prompting a phone call to police. “They observed a suspect coming

out of the building carrying property,” Lt. Mike Munoz said. Arriving officers found a second suspect inside a waiting car, and “he confirmed his partner was inside, stealing stuff.” Police surrounded the property and ordered the first suspect outside, deploying a K-9 into the building when the man refused to come out, Munoz said. Tyler Matthew Lamar, 23, was treated for dog bites at Sutter Davis Hospital before being booked into the Yolo County Jail. His alleged getaway driver, 29-year-old Matthew Jean Alvarado, joined him at the jail, where both men face burglary and conspiracy charges, Munoz said. — Reach Lauren Keene at lkeene@davisenterprise.net or 530-747-8048.

DISC: Council members voice support for project From Page A1 now known as Bretton Woods). Also on the ballot in November will be Measure J/R itself. The council voted unanimously Tuesday night to place renewal of the measure before voters again. DISC’s path to the ballot has been a long one which featured multiple iterations and multiple names — from the Mace Ranch Innovation Center to Aggie Research Campus to DISC — dozens of commission meetings, public hearings and more. On Tuesday night, all five council members not only voted to place DISC before voters but also voiced their support for the project itself, citing, among other things, the fiscal benefit to the city and the need to provide jobs for young people. Councilman Will Arnold noted that whenever council members put a tax measure before the voters, they are in turn asked by voters to seek a revenue source other than taxpayers. “This is that,” said Arnold. That desire for additional revenue sources, he said, was the original impetus among community members for luring an innovation center to Davis. “Nobody gets 100 percent of what they want out of this,” he added, “nor do I believe that’s realistic. But I do commend our staff and developers for making very serious commitments, in particular with regard to sustainability. “I am ready to support this project to be placed on the ballot this November and to support its passage in November.” Former Mayor Brett Lee cited job creation as a key for him. He said before he joined the council eight years ago, “my lens was slightly narrower.” “So as I looked at proposals, I thought, ‘What’s in

financial benefits to the city to project’s sustainability features. “There are a lot of opportunities in this project,” she said. “There are financial opportunities… There are opportunities to advance tech transfer and research in our entire region. There are opportunities to provide housing which the entire state is struggling with right now.

An overhead view of the proposed Davis Innovation and Sustainability Campus in East Davis. this for me? I have a job. I have a house. Why would I vote for something that creates more traffic … that potentially makes my life slightly less enjoyable?’” The answer, he said, lies in the obligation the city has to this community and the greater region. “Obviously, Davis on its own can’t do everything,” he said, “but I believe it’s inappropriate for us who have so much to say we can’t do anything. “We have a lot of high school kids, we have college kids and this type of technology center will provide internships for them, it will provide entry-level jobs and also more professional jobs,” said Lee. “Sometimes, we’re accused of saying … yes to development so the city gets money. I don’t view it that way. The majority of the money that would come from this project is really going to address the impacts of this project and also make sure that Davis stays a nice place to live,” Lee said. “There will be more traffic … but if we’re smart about it, that money can mitigate some of those impacts so that we can maintain our high quality of life while importantly

doing something for our region and also for the state of California.” Vice Mayor Lucas Frerichs said he initially opposed the mixed-use idea, adding housing to a business park, but said he’s since come to believe it is the superior option. “You really create a community and more of a natural neighborhood by having the mixed use components,” he said. He also said he believes there is a false choice being offered, namely that if the project is not built in Davis, it won’t be built somewhere else. “If we don’t build a project like this in Davis that has higher standards than anywhere else in the region is going to have, a project of equivalency will be built somewhere else and the standards won’t be anywhere as strong as what we are putting in place and putting forward to voters for approval,” Frerichs said. Councilman Dan Carson called the project a turning point for the city. “Every community faces certain decisions that, in retrospect, turn out to be a turning point for their citizens, and for Davis in the past, it’s been landing the railroad; the fire that

turned us into a real city; landing UC Davis. “I wouldn’t put this quite up there,” said Carson, “but this is up there as a really big decision and it is one of those moments truly.” Part of the reason for that, he said, is the city faces significant fiscal challenges. “We love our parks and greenbelts and bike trails and senior center; we enjoy lots of amenities but we lack the money to sustain them. “And now the pandemic is making everything much worse,” said Carson. People have lost jobs and businesses have closed or are struggling, he said. “Students left in the spring (and) we’re still not sure how many will return in the fall and beyond and our options to address the financial fallout from all of these things are limited. “Economic development is a solution,” said Carson. “Not the only solution, but a very important solution that we should follow and this project is just the right approach. “The money coming out of this project is impressive.” Mayor Gloria Partida echoed much of what her colleagues said, from the

“Everyone knows that the traffic will increase, that the flavor, maybe, of our city will change some and I think that is the biggest concern to a lot of people … they have this vision of who we are as citizens and who we are as a city and it’s hard to move away from that. “But I think that it’s time to really ask, ‘Who do we want to be? What sort of a community do we want to be? Do we want to be a community that only looks out for ourselves and wants to remain comfortable in where we’ve come from or do we want to be visionary and think about how we can make a better life for our region and for the poeple who live in our community?’” “We’ve spent a lot of time looking at this and asking for what we think would be best for our community and we’ve gotten a lot of what we’ve asked for,” Partida said. “I’m also in support of this.” —Reach Anne TernusBellamy ataternus@ davisenterprise.net.

Travis Credit Union Foundation Donates $40,000 to the Leaven Special to The Enterprise VAVAVILLE — The Travis Credit Union Foundation is contributing $40,000 to the Leaven to support after-school mentoring and tutoring programs to low-income neighborhoods where high dropout rates and gangs threaten the community. This donation was made possible with donations received through Travis Credit Union Foundation’s COVID-19 Relief Initiative,

which were generously matched by Travis Credit Union. The Leaven is the first of many organizations participating in this initiative to raise the full $20,000 and receive a $20,000 matching gift from Travis Credit Union. “We greatly appreciate this grant as these important funds are crucial,” stated Mark Lillis, executive director of the Leaven. “We lost two of our fundraisers from not being able

to meet with COVID-19. Without these emergency funds, we would not be able to have the financial resources to remotely assist the hundreds of students who were left with very little educational assistance while the school season was terminated.” The Travis Credit Union Foundation is dedicated to lifting communities through financial wellness. Financial wellness looks different today

than it did earlier this year. While business shutdowns, self-quarantines and “shelter in home” orders have kept people safe from the virus, they have also limited the capacity of families to access income, food and much needed resources. Community organizations are continuing to provide more services with less resources. To meet this demand for support in our communities, the Travis Credit Union Foundation is

raising funds for local nonprofits who provide these essential resources. “We are focusing where we know funds will immediately recirculate and strengthen communities, creating authentic community impact and financial wellness. We continue seeking more resources to help non-profits (501c3) survive and innovate as we all prepare for a ‘new normal’ in the aftermath of COVID-19,” said Damian

Alarcon, President of the foundation. Travis Credit Union Foundation supports financial education, literacy and wellness initiatives and is the philanthropic arm of Travis Credit Union. The Foundation’s mission is to build financially empowered communities and its vision is to create philanthropic solutions for building sustainable financial wellness in communities for generations to come.

SURGE: County hospitals boost ICU beds to deal with crisis From Page A1 opening up additional capacity, said Tan, who noted that not all of the ICU beds available in the county — a total of 14 according to a recent count — are occupied by COVID-19 patients. According to the state, six county residents suffering from COVID-19 were in ICU beds at Sutter Davis and Woodland Memorial on Thursday and 31 percent of ICU bed capacity was now available. “There is a process in place for surges (of ) patients in need of an ICU bed,” Tan said Thursday, including in the county as well as at hospitals outside the county. She urged county residents, “if you are in need, do not hesitate to go to the hospital.” A total of 16 county residents were hospitalized with COVID19 on Thursday, 11 in the county and five hospitalized outside the county. Social and family gatherings continue to drive the increase in cases locally. “Social and family gatherings

persist as significant threats to our health,” said Saylor. “In many cases, these exposures are leading to more workplace and community infections.” The county was investigating 34 possible outbreaks earlier this week, according to public health director Brian Vaughn, including at two retail businesses, six food packaging sites, two schools, one religious institution, one restaurant and five longterm care facilities. Nineteen of those 34 possible outbreaks were in Woodland, while six were in Davis, four in Winters or unincorporated areas and five in West Sacramento. An employee of River City High School in West Sacramento tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday, prompting the Washington Unified School District to announce the closure of the campus. The school serves as the districtwide summer meal preparation and distribution hub and, out of an abundance of caution, the district said, it was canceling all meal distributions for students on Friday.

A notice on the district’s Facebook page said staff at the high school were sent home immediately and the campus will remain closed for 48 hours. A skilled nursing facility in West Sacramento — River Bend Nursing Center — has also reported two residents testing positive for COVID-19. As of Thursday morning, there were 74 county residents in isolation after testing positive for COVID-19 and another 297 in quarantine after having come into contact with someone who had tested positive. The city of Woodland remains the county’s hot spot, with 76 new cases reported since Monday. With 403 total cases since the pandemic began, Woodland now accounts for more than half of all the county’s cases. Nineteen possible outbreaks in that city are being investigated and two have been confirmed by the county — at the 4th & Hope homeless shelter and Alderson Convalescent Hospital. Eight residents and five staff members have tested positive at Alderson

and one person has been hospitalized. The Courtyard Healthcare Center in Davis also reported a new case this week and now has seen four residents and three staff members test positive. The city of Davis, which has the lowest test positivity rate and fewest cases per capita in the county, according to county officials, has reported 82 cases since the pandemic began, including three on Thursday. More than 400 people were tested for COVID-19 at the Veterans Memorial Center on Monday and hundreds more were expected on Thursday evening, when the county expected 500 tests to be available. Testing has ramped up throughout the county, with oneday test sites taking place in cities as well as unincorporated areas of the county and hundreds of residents standing in line for a chance to be tested. Meanwhile, other efforts to stem the surge in cases countywide have included ramping up contact investigations — with the

assistance of contact investigators provided by the state — and public messaging on the importance of social distancing and wearing face coverings, Tan said. Expecting to land on the state’s monitoring list due to increased cases and decreased hospital capacity, the county last week preemptively shut down some business sectors, including bars and indoor dining. Now enforcement is being ramped up thanks to an urgency ordinance passed by the Board of Supervisors this week that allows for civil fines to be levied on businesses and even individuals who fail to abide by health orders requiring social distancing and face coverings. “If necessary, the county may also consider other mitigation strategies such as rollbacks or further restrictions on activities,” Tan said Thursday. —Reach Anne Ternus-Bellamy ataternus@davisenterprise.net.

LAWSUITS: ICE cites rising COVID-19 caseload as reason for action From Page A1 would need to leave the country or transfer to a different school that is holding classes in-person, a suggestion academic advisors at UC Davis said is unrealistic. Students who fall out of compliance with visa requirements could face serious consequences, including deportation and decade-long bans from entering the U.S. In March, when many universities shifted to remote learning due to the spread of COVID-19, ICE exempted foreign students from longstanding federal regulations that limited international students to taking one online class per term. The new rules announced this week end that exemption and require international students to take at least some instruction in-person. While the number of COVID-19 cases has increased since March, ICE

officials said the agency needs to enforce federal requirements and maintain oversight of international students. “This was the best way of doing so,” ICE spokeswoman Carissa Cutrelltold BuzzFeed News. The policy has not yet been finalized, but it is already the subject of several lawsuits filed by states and universities across the country. In March, President Trump declared a national emergency, which has not been lifted. A lawsuit filed by Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) points out that ICE agreed to keep its exemption for foreign students in place “for the duration of the emergency.” The expulsion from the U.S. of hundreds of thousands of students in the middle of a pandemic would inevitably pose health risks to the students and to the countries receiving them. On Wednesday, the U.S. recorded more

than 60,000 new COVID19 cases, the highest number recorded by any country in a single day. “Shame on the Trump Administration for risking not only the education opportunities for students who earned the chance to go to college, but now their health and well-being as well,” said Attorney General Becerra. For many students, continuing coursework abroad may not be realistic. Dramatic time-zone differences, unreliable electricity and internet service, and health infrastructures illequipped to cope with COVID-19 outbreaks are only some of the challengesstudents have mentioned. After investing years of work and thousands of dollars, some said being forced out of the country could derail their education permanently. “I’m going to have to think about whether I’m going to remain in academia at all,”

said a UC Davis Ph.D. student from India. “My world is being turned upsidedown.” Students also worried they could be ordered to leave the U.S. without having a way to get home. Many countries have imposed travel restrictions and international flights are limited. Some routes have been marked up by thousands of dollars. A UC Davis instructor told The Enterprise a former student of hers traveled home to China by cargo ship this summer because there were no flights. “At a time when college students across America are struggling to deal with the challenges and uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic while focusing on their studies, this capricious and illegal order from the federal government plunges them into deeper anxiety and uncertainty,” UC President Janet Napolitano said. “It is illegal, unnecessary and callous.”

Obituary policy Helen Ardienne Neiswonger Oct. 13, 1930 — June 30, 2020

Helen Ardienne Neiswonger (born Oct. 13, 1930, to Charles and Helen Reilly) passed away peacefully in her sleep early Tuesday June 30, 2020. She was 89 sweet years young. Born in Pasadena, Ardienne attended Pasadena City College and UC Berkeley, completing her bachelor’s degree in 1952. She was a member of the Tri-Delta Sorority and talked often about the college days in which she very much enjoyed. Ardienne married her college sweetheart James Neiswonger in 1952 and together they had six children. They eventually settled in Davis and Homewood. Ardienne’s happiest childhood memories were spent in Laguna Beach at her Grandmother Nana’s home. As a child and with her Scotty dog she posed for a bronze statue done by Ruth Eaton Peabody that still stands at Jahraus Park in Laguna. She also often talked about Hilo, Hawaii, where she lived in the early 1940s for a few years with her brother and parents. As a barefoot youngster Ardienne and her brother Stephen enjoyed playing in everything that Hilo had to offer.

Aside from being an avid reader, Ardienne loved to sail and cycle completing the Centurion 100-mile bike ride in Davis. She loved classical music, opera, art and photography. Ardienne impressed upon her children to have open minds and exposed them to many cultures especially in the Arts world. Ardienne is survived by her children, son David and Liz Neiswonger (grandson Mitchell), daughter Jill Neiswonger (grandchildren Tara, Paul and four great-grandchildren), Rick Neiswonger (grandchildren Albert, Tiffany, Eric, Stephenie and two great-grandchildren), Steve and Debbie Neiswonger (grandson James Ross), Kristi and Tim Reimers (grandchildren Julie, Jenny and James and three great-grandchildren), and Wendy Neiswonger (grandchildren Jon, Carter, and daughter-in-law Cathrine). Ardienne is also survived by her loving brother Stephen Reilly of Sherman Oaks, niece Susanne Reilly (family Mike and Derek of Pennsylvania) and extended family. “Mom’s” Memorial Service will be held at a future date when we can all join together in her memory.

The UC Office of the President said in a statement that its lawsuit “will seek a temporary restraining order and preliminary and permanent injunctive relief ” to block enforcement of the policy. UC’s suit will argue, among other things, that ICE violated the Administrative Procedure Act. “The safety of our students and the campus community is our paramount concern and guides what we do,” said Napolitano. “The idea that the federal government would add to the burden of students and universities working to navigate this global health crisis beggars belief. UC will fight this blatant

disregard for the law and public health with all the legal means at our disposal.” In a statement released Thursday, UC Davis leaders called the policy “cruel and thoughtless” and said the campus “remains committed to supporting our international students and scholars.” There are more than 7,000 international students at UC Davis, comprising 17 percent of the undergraduate population and 24 percent of the graduate student population. —Reach Caleb Hampton at champton@davisenter prise.net.

In the ground or up a tree? BY SARA THOMPSON Special to the Enterprise

Pets of the week

Y

ou can find squirrels in almost every park climbing and chasing each other around the trees. There are three varieties of tree squirrels that can be found in California: the eastern fox squirrel, eastern gray squirrel and the western gray squirrel, with the western gray being the only one of the three that is native to California. There is also another type of squirrel, one that lives under the ground. The California ground squirrel is also a native species, found primarily in California and Oregon but has also been spotted in parts of Washington and Nevada. Although all of these squirrels look very similar, they live very differently. All three types of tree squirrel live high up in trees away from most predators. They live in holes in trees or build a little nest out of twigs to rest in. As their name suggests, ground squirrels live underground. They dig their own burrows and live in family groups with numerous entries and exits. Tree and ground squirrel varieties consume the same foods of seeds, nuts, fruits, and occasional insects. While tree squirrels store food to use during the winter, ground squirrels hibernate in their burrows during the cold, rainy months. When faced with predators, all types of squirrels

EXPLORIT SCIENCE CENTER use their speed to run and evade being caught. Tree squirrels retreat up trees to get out of reach of dogs, coyotes, even large birds of prey. Ground squirrels will run down into their burrows for protection from the same predators but can be pursued by snakes. If cornered by a snake, a ground squirrel will raise its tail and shunt blood to it to make themselves seem bigger to the snake who detects infrared radiation to hunt. A ground squirrel will also swish its tail to distract the snake and might escape if the

snake strikes at the tail instead of the body of the ground squirrel. The campers in our Animal Adventurers camp this week were able to see tree and ground squirrels while attending our Summer Science Camps. Mace Ranch Park has numerous large trees for the tree squirrel species to live and gather food in, as well as a ground squirrel colony under the native wildlife area. There are spaces still available in our August Summer Science Camps! Registration available online at http://www. explorit.org/programs/ summer-camp/summerand-vacation-classes.

Senior dogs at NorCal Boxer Rescue fetch grant Special to The Enterprise Old dogs have something to wag about this summer, as The Grey Muzzle Organization announces the recipients of its annual grants, and dogs at NorCal Boxer Rescue are among the winners. NorCal Boxer Rescue, headquartered in Davis, is one of 64 animal-welfare groups chosen from 288 applicants to receive a grant to help local senior dogs. The winning groups received more than $510,000 in grants to help save or improve the lives of at-risk old dogs in their communities. “We are so excited about the senior dog adoption program that this grant is funding,” said Karen Heald, Executive Director of NorCal Boxer Rescue. “Thanks to The Grey Muzzle Organization, the next ten senior dogs who are adopted will come with up to $1,000 in post-adoption veterinary expense support in the first year after adoption. Many people who love senior dogs hesitate to adopt them because they

anticipate age-related veterinary expenses. This grant will help alleviate that concern and give senior dogs like Helen a better chance at adoption. No one is more grateful or loving than an old dog, and we’re looking forward to helping more senior dogs get the second chance they all deserve.” Over the past 12 years, the national nonprofit Grey Muzzle Organization has provided $2.5 million in grants to support its vision of “a world where no old dog dies alone and afraid.” “Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we’re delighted to help deserving organizations like NorCal Boxer Rescue make a difference in the lives of dogs and people in their communities,” Grey Muzzle’s Executive Director Lisa Lunghofer said. “Many senior dogs in northern California are enjoying their golden years in loving homes thanks to the wonderful work of NorCal Boxer Rescue.” NorCal Boxer Rescue is an entirely volunteeroperated, foster-based,

o vote in November,” everyone tells you. “Vote because your vote will determine the next leader of the free world,” people say. But this is only partly true. Voters do not elect the president and the vice president. Technically, voters vote for electors, members of the Electoral College who then vote for the president and vice president every four years in December. With the exceptions of Maine and Nebraska, which have a proportional system, electors vote for the presidential candidate who received the most votes in the state they represent. Each state has a different number of electors, which equals the total number of federal representatives that state has. In California, where we have 53 members of Congress, and two senators, we have 55 electors. In fact, we are at the top of the heap. Because we have more members of Congress than any other state, we also have more members of the Electoral College. It sounds like California, with our 55 electors, must play a key role in picking the next president of the United States. The answer is, not really. Here is the bad news for California voters. First, because California is not a socalled “swing state,” candidates largely ignore us. Second, thanks to how the Electoral College is structured, we have much less power in electing the next president than voters in less populous states. For instance, Wyoming has three members of the Electoral College and about 590,000 residents. California has more than 39 million residents and 55 electors. This means if you vote in California on Election Day, you have approximately 3.5 times less power to elect electors than you would if you voted in Wyoming. Imagine a scenario in which sometime on or after Election Day, the electors look at the results of how the states voted and say to themselves, “yuck.” “Yuck,” is of course a legal term that electors use to mean, “can’t we do anything about this?” And that actually may be the point of the Electoral College, to save us from ourselves. The Founders created the Electoral College to, in part, act as a safety valve against an unruly mob of voters who might be taken by an unqualified demagogue. Despite the fact that electors rarely go rogue, 32 states and the District of Columbia have implemented loyalty laws to stop so-called faithless electors. These laws require that electors vote according to the popular vote of the state they represent, and if they don’t they may be penalized. The question before the U.S. Supreme Court this term was whether these loyalty laws are Constitutional. Those challenging the laws argued that states lack the power to penalize faithless electors, and that electors must have some agency, or discretion, as to who they vote for. A unanimous court disagreed. Justice Elena Kagan, writing for the majority of the court, concluded that “(t)he Constitution’s text and the nation’s history both support allowing a state to enforce an elector’s pledge to support his party’s nominee — and the state voters’ choice — for president.” So, if on or after Election Day, electors say a collective “yuck,” with respect to the presidential results, electors in the majority of states have no discretion to act on that. If states could not implement loyalty laws for electors, then all or just some of California’s 55 electors could sway the election. But as a result of the Supreme Court’s decision, there will be no (virtual) backroom deal among electors. But now, electors in the majority of states must rigidly adhere to the vote of the majority of those in the state they represent. This could embolden those who are pushing to abolish the Electoral College. For now, get ready to round up 2.5 of your friends to vote on Election Day. You’ll need them to equal the voting power of your cousin in Wyoming. — Jessica Levinsonis a professor at Loyola Law School and the director of the Public Service Institute at Loyola Law School, jessica.levinson@lls.edu.

ep. John Garamendi, Recently constituents received an update via email. As chairman of the Armed Services Subcommittee on Readiness, you lauded your fiscal work, amounting to $740 billion towards military spending. The amount is a $20 billion increase in one fiscal year and that translates into over 55% of national spending. The purpose of this query concerns other, non-military issues, facing the nation. Your town hall meetings here in Davis and by phone hear you loudly supporting massive expenditures for health care, education, infrastructure and movement towards a green economy. That resonates with many of us. Do you embrace and support them all? Furthermore, you have let it be known that massive expenditures are needed in all areas. So, it is important to know where you stand on these issues in terms of deeds and strong progressive leadership. We have for far too long listened to,“there is no more money for programs to rebuild America.” But the pandemic has made it clear that there is money where there is political will and necessity. Health care, education, living wages, infrastructure, funding

COMMENTARY a green economy and ending racial inequality, which one can argue are all measures of social and economic justice, have gone wanting and hobbled the nation’s moving forward. Yet we are living in an age of two kinds of poverty: one of political will and the other of widespread suffering. Now there is a pandemic. That $3.2 trillion of the CARES Act materialized rather swiftly, despite years of telling the nation we do not have money for social programs. Black-swan event aside, clearly we have the money. There are over 140 million citizens living in or on the fringes of poverty. Those numbers are rising. Many have no health care, lack decent jobs, receive inadequate wages and, well, you get the picture. Moreover, the nation’s infrastructure is in a shambles, but upgrading it to first-world status requires political will. That will is absent across the political spectrum. Since 9/11, the U.S. has spent well over $6 trillion for defense. President George W. Bush’s budget levels have more than doubled since his presidency. Our annual expenditures are greater than China, Russia, the EU, India, Korea, Japan, Brazil and a few other nations combined.

LETTERS Support local restaurants Sunday night July 5. At 7 p.m., the heat of the day was dissipating; a gentle breeze was coming from the south. It was time for another visit to our favorite pizza restaurant for their delicious Mediterranean pizza. We have been eating out or ordering out at various restaurants at least once a week since mid-March. The outdoor temperature was perfect. But where were the customers? Our restaurants are bending over backwards to make your dining experience as safe as it can be. Masks required, hand sanitizer available, paper plates etc, no self serve, out door seating only. This restaurant had seven tables outside, five spread apart on the front porch and two on the sidewalk below, but we were the only customers there. My husband remarked that he had never before been here when we were the only customers. If you have favorite restaurants, make it a plan to eat out regularly to keep them in business. A month ago, a neighbor of ours went so far as to tip his favorite restaurant about 400% ($100 bill given for a Mexican dinner for two). I loved

According to the “Reports from the Inspector Generals’ offices of Iraq and Afghanistan estimate that the U.S. military has lost$60 billion to waste and fraud in Iraq, $100 billion to Afghan reconstruction efforts, and billions more in wasted equipment either burned or left behind after the withdrawal of forces” (Harvard School of Politics). In the aftermath of those wars, much of the equipment began to find its way to our police departments. Since that time, we have further militarized our police. To be clear, policies and institutions are responsible for the present predicaments and gross inequalities that we face.

P

resident Eisenhower was abundantly clear to the nation that spending money at levels of $750 billion leaves little for education, a green economy, health care, the schools and infrastructure. The pandemic has once again highlighted the glaring inequities across our society. It reveals the failed policies and decisions over the generations that have followed the Vietnam War and The Kerner Report’s recommendations to end inequality of 1968. It is abundantly clear that we have

hearing that. Many of us are retired and have regular monthly income plus savings. Lets support our restaurants and keep them open. Molly Anderson Davis

Bait and switch This is a public comment for the Davis Planning Commission, concerning the proposal by the developer to remove the Davis-based buyers program from the Bretton Woods development. The development was sold to the residents of Davis as providing an opportunity for Davis seniors to be able to purchase housing appropriate for seniors to move from their existing Davis residences to more “senior friendly,” e.g. single-story, ADA-type housing. Unfortunately, as is often the case, we are now faced with the typical developer bait-and-switch strategy, which we have seen before. Since the principals made a very explicit set of promises to the citizens of Davis by ballot, they should be required to perform to the full extend of their promises and commitments. There is no excuse for allowing them to walk away from their promises. Allowing this chance will guarantee that another

learned little over the past 50 years. Progress has been halting at best and destructive at worse. Two days after the email update received on the Armed Services work you shared, there was Congressional Update in the mail from your office. It reads like a tale of two cities, or like that Kerner Report’s recommendation, if you read between the lines. Jobs, unemployment, food, schools, paid leave, health care and more. All the areas where we need reinvigorated and new policies were highlighted. But where is the political will in terms of the tough decisions fiscal support? The pandemic, sadly, reveals the good we might do looking at that mailer, but alas so little commitment. While many citizens would have questioned the wisdom of such CARES Act spending at the start of 2020, many of those same folks are now lining up for state sponsored “socialism.” We are a curious lot. We need new policies that put the people ahead of corporate USA’s welfare; you know, people before profits. In closing Congressman Garamendi, the question is: Where do you really stand on these issues, the ones you support in town halls? — Rick Moniz is a Davis resident and U.S. historian.

generic suburban development, promoted under false pretenses, will be allowed to further impact Davis in negative ways (traffic, infrastructure needs) without providing the promised benefits to Davis senior citizens. The developers are proposing to provide an “electric development replacement.” This is really proposing nothing. Replacement of gas service for electric will be good for the developer since they will not have to bear the cost of providing gas service. It would be bad for the residents since electric rates are expected to rise significantly with the PG&E bankruptcy. Would it save energy (reduce greenhouse gases). No! Much of the electricity is generated with gas fired generation plants and this is not likely to disappear in the near term. The developers are already trying to back out of their existing promises. If the developers wish to make changes to their development, let them put it on the ballot for the voters to decide. The original ballot initiative was approved with specific promises and to meet specific goals for Davis. Voters should decide if they want any changes made to those promises. Dan Parfitt Davis

PEPPER: Spicy plants have gone around the world to your back yard From Page A1 nursery rhyme are not black pepper, but the hot peppers we grow in our gardens, which botanists put in the genus capsicum. Yet capsicums are native to the Americas. A more relevant question than “where’s the peck of pickled peppers” might be: How did a French colonial administrator happen to have peppers to pickle? Did he grow these MesoAmerican fruits in Mauritius? It’s quite possible, even likely. In an article my father wrote a number of years ago, which we reprinted in The Davis Enterprise in 2009, he traced the trade in capsicum peppers from the New World, carried by Columbus to Spain (the aji pepper) and especially by the Portuguese along their extensive trade routes from South America to South Africa, India and the Middle East. “The evidence seems to be clear: that in 51 years from 1492, when Columbus found the ‘aji’ in Hispaniola, to 1543 when Fuchs in Germany published a treatise that described the ‘Indian or Calicut’ peppers newly arrived from the East, the plants had spread from North and South America, not just to a few palace gardens and herbariums in western Europe, but to common cultivation in Africa and India, and back to eastern Europe and were competing with the ‘true pepper’ in its own stronghold.” Columbus often gets the credit, but the Portuguese really did the work due to the sheer breadth of their trading empire. Peppers even ended up in the Dutch East Indies, the center of the world’s spice trade, and were called peppers because their pungent nature made them similar in usage to black pepper. Any avid horticulturist of the 18th century, including Monsieur Poivre, was likely growing some form of capsicum pepper. Part of their success is that peppers are quite easy to grow anywhere it’s warm. In subtropical to tropical regions, they are soft-wooded shrubs that live for several years. In warm-summer, cold-winter areas such as the Sacramento Valley they are summer annuals in the vegetable garden. In a mild winter, pepper

Our long, warm, dry autumns typically lead to abundant pepper harvests. This picture of mixed sweet and hot peppers was taken in late November. plants can overwinter here in a sheltered location. Current consensus of plant taxonomists is that there are four major species, with one predominant, of Capsicum in the parentage of our home garden types. First, the lesser-known pepper species: Capsicum baccatum: the South American aji (ah-hee) peppers. Aji amarillo is widely used in Peru and Bolivia. Great flavor. The aji peppers are generally quite hot. Capsicum frutescens includes the tabasco pepper (originated in the Mexican state of the same name), the famously hot little Thai peppers, and those used for the Portuguese condiment known as piri piri. Fruit are generally held upright. All are very hot. Capsicum pubescens, also mainly from Bolivia and Peru, has very few varieties familiar to us, but the rocoto peppers are sometimes grown. Capsicum chinense is totally misnamed. “Chinense” means “from China,” but of course they aren’t from China or even Asia at all. They originated in Central America and the Caribbean. They had been planted in China and India already when the first botanical classifications were done, and were so widespread that they were thought to be

native to those regions. Varieties of chinense peppers include some of the hottest types known: habanero, naga, and Scotch bonnet. Bhut jolokia, commonly called the ghost pepper, is a hybrid between C. chinense and C. frutescens. It was ranked as the hottest pepper in the world for a while. Some intrepid breeders have created even hotter types. As of 2013, the verified hottest pepper in the world is said to be the Carolina Reaper, another variety of C. chinense. Chinense peppers need heat to get going. Don’t plant them early. In terms of sheer number of types, the most important species of peppers is Capsicum annuum, which includes the most popular hot peppers (jalapeño, serrano), some very hot (cayenne) and some used as dried spices (paprika), the canned chiles you buy in the store (variants of Anaheim), the New Mexico antecedents of the Anaheim such as Hatch peppers, and all the wax, sweet and bell peppers, along with lesser-known types such as chiltepin pepper native to the American southwest. Sweet peppers are a modern invention. Until the 1920s, all peppers contained some capsaicin, the main chemical that causes the heat when you eat

them, though they varied widely as to how much. What we call sweet peppers, including the blocky-shaped ones called bell peppers, were developed in Hungary based on a recessive gene. For most gardeners, it’s probably simpler to classify peppers by how we use them. Fresh eating: Those blocky, thick-walled sweet bell peppers are the most popular peppers eaten north of the border. Thinner-walled varieties such as Gypsy are more productive for home gardeners. Frying peppers: I first encountered these in conversations with gardeners of Italian heritage. They cut peppers long ways and toss them on the grill or in the pan next to the main course, usually meat, to flavor the dish. The pepper is cooked until slightly soft and served alongside. You want a firm flesh that holds up in cooking. Italian long green and Spanish sweet are often used this way. Shishito and padron peppers are often sautéed for garnish, but be forewarned that about 10% of the plants produce fruit that are fiery hot. Sort of a pepper roulette. They are thinner, so are cooked for a much shorter period, and are also popular for pickling and fresh eating. Easy to grow and very productive here. Powders, rubs, pepper flakes: Some peppers have smoky or fruity flavors, and others are just used to provide pungency to a dish. Dried and ground, these are used as rubs for meat or in powder or flake form. For serious heat, look for cayenne or Thai peppers. For a distinctive flavor for some recipes, grow poblano (dried into ancho), pasilla or the aji peppers. Allow them to ripen red on the plant, then dry the fruit in late fall. Handle with care when you’re processing them; the hot chemicals in the fruit and seeds get on your fingers and can burn your eyes or skin. This is not a project for the kids. If you’ve never grown a very hot pepper, you may find that the production of a single plant in a five-gallon bucket is sufficient for sampling. Get the richest potting soil available, keep the plant in nearly full sun, and

JULY

plan to water it every day. You will get several peppers, which in the case of something as hot as cayenne may well be a year’s supply for your family. Competitive heat endurance tests: There is a Y-chromosomelinked subculture in the pepper world: folks growing the superhot peppers simply because of how extremely hot they are. Why would people subject themselves to the extreme pain of a very, very hot pepper? Apparently, it releases endorphins and causes an instinctive fight-or-flight condition, and some people like that. Even if you don’t eat them, the habanero and ghost peppers are strikingly pretty plants, producing colorful, kind of sinisterlooking fruit in fall. How about pickling? Peter Piper would perhaps prefer pepperoncini or pimento for his peck of pickled peppers now. They are pickled whole because they are tender and crisp. Both are sweet peppers, unavailable in his time. Peter Piper’s pickled peppers would have been piquant. Peppers grow best in full sun. They need plenty of water to develop full size and yield well. All peppers will change color as they ripen, and most will get sweeter. Those fancy colorful ones at the grocery store are bred to ripen faster, usually grown in greenhouses to increase yield and stretch the seasons. Your regular bell peppers will turn red and sweet if you wait long enough. It’s a curiosity that most North Americans eat our peppers green, which is unripe. Pepper plants continue to set fruit and ripen as long as days are warm and sunny. They are especially productive here in the early fall and many varieties have fruit that hangs well on the plant all the way up to frost. Peppers planted in June or early July can produce good yields through October. —Don Shor and his family have owned the Redwood Barn Nursery since 1981. He can be reached at redbarn@omsoft.com.

Shifting gears: More Americans get back behind the wheel Special to The Enterprise The COVID-19 pandemic has had an undeniable, unavoidable impact on our world - from the way we conduct business, to how we shop for groceries. It has shifted our idea of what is important in life, and according to Hankook Tire's latest Gauge Index, Americans say spending time with family is a top priority. In light of everything 2020 has brought so far, Americans are shifting gears with a renewed emphasis on things we may have previously taken for granted: from time spent with loved ones, to road trips to our favorite vacation destinations, and even surprisingly, our daily commute.

The rise of the road trip Summer is normally synonymous with taking a break and making an

escape to somewhere fun, and for many, the COVID19 pandemic has thrown a wrench in those plans. But Hankook found that nearly two-thirds (62%) of Americans are still hopeful and excited about the idea of an upcoming vacation. And more than likely, that vacation will be a road trip. As consumers remain skeptical of traveling by plane and other forms of public transit, they are finding a safe hygiene haven in their own vehicles. According to the Gauge, 60% of Americans expect to take more road trips as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many expect a rise in road trip plans enabling travelers to explore while still safely adhering to social distancing guidelines. So, who are they going with? Even as restrictions

lift, Americans remain uncertain about traveling with people outside their households. At the same time, they don't necessarily want to travel with everyone in their household. When Hankook asked who Americans would most like to travel with after the pandemic restrictions ease, the top choice was their significant other or spouse (40%), indicating a desire to spend some quality time together. Traveling with a spouse or significant other was more than twice as popular as the next most popular choice: traveling with your children (18%). Good time to check to make sure your babysitters are available!

Redefining the daily drive Americans' preference for wheels over wings doesn't stop when it comes to planning their next vacation. It will also have an impact on the daily commute. The Gauge found that Americans agree automotive travel will be the top form of transportation after the COVID-19 pandemic eventually subsides (62%). Only a small percentage of people expect to regularly use other forms of transportation - including public transit (9%), ride sharing (7%) and trains (6%) with the same regularity. Of course, nobody knows what that regular rush hour might look like, as offices across the country look for

ways to safely stagger workforces and encourage working from home to allow for proper social distancing. Many will continue to avoid commutes altogether as companies encourage employees to keep working from home. When the time is right to resume your daily commute to work or school, make sure your vehicle is ready for the job as well by checking your tire pressure, any flat spots developed from prolonged

parking and that A/C systems are ready to keep things cool this summer! Overall, it's clear that one of the many perspectives the COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped is Americans' attitudes toward driving. What may have once been a daily drag might now be a necessary change in routine, and a welcome opportunity to spend time with the people that matter most. —Brandpoint

Poster boy for Davis-born art career Graphic artist learned from the greats at UCD BY JARROD BANIQUED Enterprise correspondent

F

ifty-six years ago, a student at UC Davis received disappointing grades at the end of his freshman year. He was enrolled in the College of Engineering on the advice of his high-school counselor, and was barely coasting by with a 2.0 grade-point average, which was boosted by being a pitcher on the baseball team. He began to seriously reconsider his path as he realized that his slide-rule skills and the engineering curriculum just weren’t a good fit for him. In the following year, Thomas Morris joined Delta Sigma Phi fraternity and began a year filled with transition. “I switched to a liberal arts curriculum and began taking art

UCD had become a nexus for

Thomas Morris is at the San Francisco Library in the summer of 2017, where the third floor featured an archival show of almost all of the work he designed and managed production of for Planet Drum, with more than 25 year of work represented.

The hand-drawn logo Morris designed circa 1974 is still used on the nonprofit’s website at www.planetdrum.org. the foremost contemporary artists in the United States during the mid-1960s. Morris described his studies there as prodigious: “In 1965, the arts department was in an old Victorian building

There are some great sculptures, paintings and photographs included that truly defy definition. The exhibit is in our Main Gallery from July 10 through Aug. 16. The awardwinning pieces will be announced on our website on July 10, so be sure to watch for that! Given the eclectic nature of pulling together a cohesive show, Pardee stated that he “was especially impressed by new applications of traditional processes. Ceramics and fabric arts show particular strength, with their transformations of conventional materials and suggestions of strange biology at work, while sculpture opens up fresh perspectives on everyday objects.

Davis-based musician Lillian Frances releases her debut album Special to The Enterprise When Lillian Frances arrived by foot in Santiago de Compostela, the town was hushed in the shadow of dusk. Five hundred miles and 39 days from where she began, she beheld the ancient cathedral as its exquisite towers reached toward the sky like two stretching cats. But when she fell to her knees in reverence, it wasn’t for the treasured Spanish cathedral, but the glowing ember of the moon sneaking up behind. For the Davis-based electronic musician, watching the full moon rise is a ritual: a time set aside to slow down, breathe and reflect.

Lillian Frances released her debut album, “Moonrise Queendom,” in June. In the two years since releasing her 2018 EP, “Timeism,” these monthly moonrise check-ins have

been where she makes sense of her own stories. Her debut album, “Moonrise

Queendom,” is the tale of these 24 moons: a collection of the stories that weaved their way through. While crafting her music, Frances isn’t bothered by genre. Instead, she collages together whatever sounds spark joy, stumbling into spontaneous sonic worlds. Once inside “Moonrise Queendom,” she leads the listener past the monsoon-soaked deserts of “Raincheck Summer,” through the chirping jungles of “Falling With(out),” and into the crystal castles of “Pass on You.” Her unique alt-pop sound has been compared to Lorde, Sylvan Esso and Billie Eilish.

Family-friendly ‘Scoob’ is a doggone hoot The courageous canine and his friends tackle a fearsome foe

‘Scoob’ Starring (voices): Will Forte, Mark Wahlberg, Jason Isaacs, Gina Rodriguez, Amanda Seyfried, Zac Efron, Kiersey Clemons, Ken Jeong, Tracy Morgan and Frank Welker Rating: PG, for mild suggestive humor and fantasy peril

BY DERRICK BANG Enterprise film critic Scooby-Doo, the nervous Great Dane with a nose for supernatural-style trouble — and a manner of “speaking” borrowed from Astro, on “The Jetsons” — has covered an amazing amount of territory since solving his first case back on Sept. 13, 1969. The character and his human sidekicks have never not been ubiquitous on television, thanks to well over a dozen variations on their initial 17-episode run … not to mention numerous direct-to-video films and several (mostly) liveaction entries. It’s safe to say that Scooby-Doo has eclipsed Rin Tin Tin and Lassie as the world’s most famous canine screen hero. (No accident, these days, that we refer to a crime-solving detective’s posse as a “Scooby gang.”) Director Tony Cervone’s “Scoob,” debuting on HBO Max and other video-ondemand platforms, is guaranteed to keep the lovable pooch vibrant for additional years to come. Cervone’s pacing frequently has the frantic intensity of classic Warner Bros. cartoons, and the script — credited to no fewer than six hands — definitely captures the original Scooby vibe, while inserting snarky asides and droll one-liners that’ll keep adults equally entertained. The voice talent is solid, and longtime Saturday

Our heroes — from left, Velma, Fred, Shaggy, Daphne and Scooby-Doo — don’t know it yet, but they’re about to solve their first mystery. morning cartoon fans will have fun spotting all the supporting characters borrowed from other HannaBarbera shows. The film is littered with additional Hanna-Barbera “Easter eggs”; you’ll want to pay careful attention to billboards and street signs. “Scoob” also serves as an origin story, of sorts, with a lengthy prologue that shows how a clumsy puppy with hilariously oversized paws chances to meet 10-year-old Shaggy Rogers at California’s Venice Beach. Of course, they bond over a shared sandwich, and thereafter become inseparable best buds. Halloween arrives shortly thereafter, at which point Shaggy and Scoob meet up with Daphne, Velma and Fred. During a pell-mell attempt to retrieve Shaggy’s bag of Halloween candy from a supposedly haunted house — with Scoob hindering and much as helping — the quintet exposes the actual

culprit behind these faux scary doings. (That’s key; classic Scooby-Doo adventures always seemed to involve dire supernatural events, ultimately revealed — after all manner of pratfalls and red herrings — to be the work of decidedly Earthbound human baddies.) Flash-forward to the present day, with the quintet enjoying a successful debunking career as Mystery Inc., roaring from one adventure to another in a turquoise and acid green van dubbed the Mystery Machine. This darn-near indestructible vehicle may look like its 1969 antecedent, but the interior is Velma’s pride and job: a mobile crime-solving lab and digital database with a satellite hookup and cutting-edge electronic surveillance equipment. Ah, Velma. At a time when most female characters were either victims or dim bulbs, “Scooby-Doo”

The story ... has an all-important emotional core, which explores the nature of loyalty and true friendship, and how the ephemeral rush of “status” can blind one — even a dog — to what’s truly meaningful in life. was decades ahead of its time. Velma was smart, confident and resourceful: the true brains of the outfit, and a terrific role model for young female viewers. Anyway…

While Fred (voiced by Zac Efron), Daphne (Amanda Seyfried) and Velma (Gina Rodriguez) seek questionable advice on how best to promote Mystery Inc., Shaggy (Will Rogers) and Scoob (Frank Welker) enjoy a few rounds of bowling. This frivolous activity turns perilous when the pins prove to be little transformative robots — the “Rottens” — that like to change into menacing, pointy-sharp things. All seems lost, until Shaggy and Scoob are unexpectedly whooshed aloft by a luminescent blue tractor beam, and deposited inside a way-cool spaceship belonging to their favorite TV hero of all time, the Blue Falcon. Except that it turns out the iconic costume now is being worn by the original Falcon’s less capable son, Brian (Mark Wahlberg), whose confident brobluster can’t quite mask his insecurities. Brian has maintained his

father’s rep only due to assistance from übercapable pilot Dee Dee Sykes (Kiersey Clemons) and their precision-engineered robotic dog, Dynomutt (Ken Jeong). The latter, speaking with the cultivated cadence of a British butler, clearly suffers the efforts of his lesser human companions out of loyalty, rather than actual respect; his heavenward gazes and long-suffering sighs become one of this film’s many droll running gags. It turns out the Rottens are being controlled by the infamously ill-tempered, grudge-bearing, venomspewing Dick Dastardly (Jason Isaacs), an evil scientist and all-around bad guy who’s the first to admit that he’s, well, a real Dick. Dastardly has been jetting around the world in an effort to find three unusual artifacts, in service of a megalomaniacal scheme that also requires the participation of none other than Scooby-Doo. (Dastardly — clearly modeled on Snidely Whiplash, archenemy of “Dudley Do-Right of the Mounties” — was the forever put-upon villain in SEE SCOOB, PAGE B3

Her interest lies less with symmetry and function, than with balancing the movement of random elements. Her process involves rolling and tearing slabs of clay, which are then slumped over a uniform shape. Glazes, underglazes and mason stains are applied in broad abstract patterns, that anticipate unexpected fluxes to emerge when fired. Sudhakaran is a visual artist and yoga teacher who lives and works in Davis. Originally an architect practicing in India, she moved to Davis to raise her family and has been exploring abstraction on canvas for the past 10 years. She has great reverence for the

folk arts and traditional handmade textiles around the world. After years of working in figurative art and still life, the transition to pure abstraction has allowed her to capture the essence and spirit of her subject matter through the medium of glazes on canvas. In our Dowling Community Gallery, artist David Olivant’s work is on display from July 10 through Aug. 16, in an exhibit titled “Because I Know I Shall Not Know.” David is a mixedmedia artist who just retired from teaching at CSU Stanislaus as an art professor. We are so lucky to have his amazing work at the gallery, as his art bridges the realms of ceramics, painting, drawing and photography. This exhibit presents a new aspect of his oeuvre, where his common practice of making

sculptures out of found objects, coupled with exquisite drawings of subjects from life and art history, is ground zero for the creation of a series of large-format prints. Titling them “retroglyphs,” the new large, highresolution photographs are a collaboration with his studio assistant Jennifer Van. His artistic process and the resulting prints are multi-layered in nature, offering us an insight into the mind of the artist, where allusion and meaning are multifaceted, chaotic and evolving. This exhibit is sponsored by Tandem Properties. Through July 24, the Pence will be closed to the public following Yolo County protocol and to help slow the spread of COVID-19. The gallery will still be open by appointment, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays to

Bike City releases bite-sized radio plays Special to The Enterprise Readers can now listen to “The Game of Life” by Andrea J. Love: the first mini-radio play in the “Summer Shorts” lineup of Bike City Theatre Company’s online series “Radio Tuesdays.” The shorts are free to access and audiences can listen by visiting bikecitytheatre.org or searching for “Bike City Theatre Company” on SoundCloud.com. Bike City Theatre Company began its foray into radio drama after the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted live theater. Under the project title “Radio Tuesdays,” BCTC now releases free plays — made for listening — via its website. Up next in the collection of original shorts is “Andy Pitchem” by Jordan Brownlee, a comedy about an office worker with a heart of gold and a voice to match. The show is in production and will be released soon. Last month’s release, “The House,” was a suspenseful twopart murder mystery. In keeping with the company’s “Expect Everything” motto, the shorts are mostly comedy by contrast. The first in the lineup was published

Voice actor and playwright Jordan Brownlee remotely records dialogue for his upcoming radio play “Andy Pitchem.” on June 30 and can be listened to now. In “The Game of Life,” local artist Andrea J. Love ponders how you would play your own life as a video game: Are you playing the game or is the game playing you? “It’s a typical day in your world, and all your decisions are being

tracked and judged, per usual. What choices will you make in the face of exes, mind-numbing co-workers and your own internal narrator?” Love said. Love — a BCTC company member — is the resident musical director and a writer of

multiple shows produced by BCTC, including “Westeros Side Story,” “Hangman” and a touring children’s musical focusing on the environmental impact kids’ everyday actions can make. A member of Actors’ Equity Association, she has recently worked

with The 5th Avenue Theatre (Seattle), San Francisco Shakespeare Festival, Capital Stage and Davis Shakespeare Festival. While the radio plays traditionally air on the last Tuesday of every month, the shorts will be released on a Tuesday every two weeks until mid-August. Listeners can sign up for BCTC’s mailing list to be notified as soon as they come out or follow its page on social media for new updates. Like BCTC’s pre-pandemic “Salon Reading Series,” “Radio Tuesdays” are funded by the city of Davis’ community arts grant program. “In challenging times for the city, BCTC is grateful for its ongoing commitment to economic development in the arts during an unprecedented year,” a news release said. For more information and updates, follow Bike City Theatre Company on Facebook or Instagram @bikecitytheatre and sign up for the mailing list on the website. Listen to “The Game of Life” by Andrea J. Love now at bikecitytheatre.org. Note: Plays aired on “Radio Tuesdays” may contain adult material.

Acme Theatre Company plans for a Zoomin’ summer Special to The Enterprise This summer, Acme Theatre Company has reinvented itself as an allonline theater company. Using a Zoom livestream, the youth-led group will produce five online plays over four weeks in July and early August as a series of experiments in what electronic theater can be. The plays vary widely in genre — beginning with Patricia Loughrey’s “Dear Harvey,” a documentarystyle piece reflecting on LGBT activist and politician Harvey Milk, and culminating with Mary Zimmerman’s “Metamorphoses,” a contemporary retelling of Greek myths about love and transformation. “Our goal was to choose scripts that rely on textbased story-telling, rather than movement or physical

settings,” said Emily Henderson, Acme’s artistic director. A different play will be offered for free at 7 p.m. Saturdays through Aug. 1, with a 2 p.m. matinee on Saturday, July 18. Each week, audience members will be invited to support Acme as well as a different local, nonprofit partner. Since 1980, Acme has produced a large-cast play each summer and offered a role to every student who auditions. However, the limitations of a Zoom meeting led Acme to pursue a new structure of smaller, weekly productions to allow each group of actors to work more closely with each other. This structure also will allow actors to play widely different roles each week. “It’s definitely a different kind of acting challenge,” said Acme junior Morgan

Hendrix-Chupa. During the summer, Acme usually focuses on expanding the company’s technical theater skills — but technical theater will look different this summer. “We are doing a lot of experimenting,” Henderson said. “Can candles illuminate actors faces? What about shadow puppets? Can everyone perform this scene in their bathtub? Can we make a giant dragon puppet with different body parts appearing in different Zoom screens?” In addition, Acme is offering free workshops for youths. Thespians ages 11-13 are invited to come work with Acme actors on scenes from “This Girl Laughs, This Girl Cries, This Girl does nothing” — a feisty coming of age adventure by Finegan Kurckmeyer, from 1 to 3 p.m. Tuesday, July 14.

Younger thespians, ages 7-11, are invited to go “back-stage” with Acme actors and get a sneak peek of “The Boy Who Cried Dragon” from 2 to 3 p.m. Thursday, July 16. To register for workshops or to register to attend the weekly productions, visit www.acme theatre.net.

Acme’s summer shows, streamed live “Dear Harvey” by Patricia Loughrey is 7 p.m. Saturday, July 11. This is a documentary-style ensemble play recounting the life and lasting impact of groundbreaking LGBT activist and politician Harvey Milk, recounted through interviews with those who knew him best.

“The Boy Who Cried Dragon” by Inda CraigGalván is 2 p.m. Saturday, July 18. A modern adaptation of the “The Boy Who Cried Wolf,” this is a humorous story of a boy and his dragon. “This Girl Laughs, This Girl Cries, This Girl Does Nothing” by Finegan Kruckmeyer is 8 p.m. Saturday, July 18. This is a feisty coming-of-age story of three sisters abandoned in the woods and their adventurous journey to adulthood. “The K of D” by Laura Schellhardt is 7 p.m. Saturday, July 25. A pack of teenagers wrestle with the loss of their friend in this summer ghost story about a lonely girl with a lethal skill. “Metamorphoses” by Mary Zimmerman is 8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 1. Dreams and reality collide

with gods and mortals in Zimmerman’s ode to the power of love — and the shadows that lurk beneath it. Join Acme for Ovid’s classical tales of passion, betrayal, hope and transformation. Acme Theatre Company is an independent, selfsustaining community theater group for highschool-aged artists. Its mission is to present plays of high literary quality while providing opportunities for young people to learn various acting and technical skills in an organization run entirely by young people themselves under the direction of a small cadre of adult mentors. For more information, visit www.acmetheatre.net, contact the publicity director Morgan HendrixChupa or find Acme’s latest posts on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

SCOOB: Dog is granted too much speaking ability in this version From Page B2 Hanna-Barbera’s “Wacky Races.” Dastardly’s fuzzy canine sidekick, Muttley — with his wheezing, snickering chuckle — also pops up here.) All manner of subsequent skirmishes pit our eight good guys against Dastardly and his seemingly limitless army of Rottens (whose not-quite-reliable antics are modeled, perhaps too closely, on the beloved Minions from the “Despicable Me” franchise). The plot charges merrily through various victories and setbacks; Cervone and editors Ryan Folsey and Vanara Taing

keep everything lively during the film’s fast-paced 93 minutes. The story also has an allimportant emotional core, which explores the nature of loyalty and true friendship, and how the ephemeral rush of “status” can blind one — even a dog — to what’s truly meaningful in life. The only detour that feels contrived is the third-act appearance of Captain Caveman, the “Neanderthal lost in time” who wields a magical club. Although Tracy Morgan is his usual manic self while voicing this tiny terror, the character doesn’t bring anything to the party.

Forte supplies just the right blend of insecurity and reckless bravery to Shaggy, and Seyfried grants Daphne more warmth, sweetness and determination than the character possessed, back in the day. (Daphne, alas, too frequently was underwritten.) Efron, in turn, has fun with dialog that takes goodnatured pokes at Fred’s image of himself as a somewhat vain jock. Rodriguez and Clemons are smart, self-assured and mildly sassy as Velma and Dee Dee; there’s no question that the team couldn’t survive without their intelligence and calm resourcefulness.

The film’s animation style, pleasantly “soft” and rounded, makes the razor-wielding Rottens even more formidable. Production designer Michael Kurinsky’s palette is vibrant, lush and vividly colorful; one almost needs sunglasses at times. All manner of cameo voices pop up in fleeting roles: among them Henry Winkler, Christina Hendricks, Ira Glass and Simon Cowell (the latter as, well, Simon Cowell). My one objection is that Welker grants Scoob too much speaking ability; he has become a true talking dog, which somewhat violates the word-mangling

spirit of his original concept. That said, Welker — who has voiced the plucky pup since 2002 — certainly has the deep, throaty timbre that Don Messick gave the character for three decades and change. “Scoob” is a lot of fun. It’s also quite “busy” and chock-a-block with sight gags and one-liners; you’ll likely need a second viewing to catch many of them. Which certainly won’t be a chore. — Read more of Derrick Bang’s film criticism at http://derrick bang.blogspot.com. Comment on this review at www.davis enterprise.com.

‘My Spy’ a delightful license to amuse Secret agent comedy benefits from droll script and solid performances BY DERRICK BANG Enterprise film critic A curious cinema subgenre finds macho action stars slotted into comedies with children. Vin Diesel turned babysitter in 2005’s “The Pacifier.” Dwayne Johnson discovered a surprise daughter in 2007’s “The Game Plan,” and donned a tutu in 2010’s “Tooth Fairy.” That latter year, Jackie Chan looked after his girlfriend’s three kids, in “The Spy Next Door.” It therefore was inevitable Dave Bautista would follow in their footsteps. These films rise or fall on the personality of the child(ren) involved; if they’re insufferable, illbehaved little brats who exist solely to make their adult chaperones look like idiots, the results can be dire. And knowing that director Peter Segal was responsible for “Tommy Boy,” “Nutty Professor II” and a gaggle of overly broad Adam Sandler comedies, did not exactly inspire confidence. But the Erich Hoeber/ Jon Hoeber script is smarter than usual for such projects, and Segal (mostly) eschews wretched excess. More crucially, young Chloe Coleman is genuinely endearing as Bautista’s pint-sized foil, and she can actually act … as opposed to many of the youngsters who turn up in films like this. The result is far more entertaining than I expected. Heck, at times even mildly poignant. Bautista has made the

Although it breaks every known level of CIA protocol, JJ (Dave Bautista) reluctantly accepts a dinner invitation from Kate (Parisa Fitz-Henley) — in great part because her daughter Sophie (Chloe Coleman) threatens to blow his cover if he refuses. most of his post“Guardians of the Galaxy” notoriety, and the WWE veteran has the same gruff, brooding charm that helped Arnold Schwarzenegger achieve fame, back in the day. He also has an imposing physical presence that contrasts amusingly with a storyline that demands his character “get in touch with his inner feelings.” Hardened CIA operative Jason “JJ” Jones (Bautista), ex-Special Forces, is introduced while “handling” a weapons-grade plutonium trade between the Russian Mafia and a Middle Eastern terrorist. The resulting mayhem appears to conclude successfully, but appearances are deceiving; JJ’s cowboy heroics allow one of the key villains to escape. Back at Langley, JJ’s boss (Ken Jeong, suitably condescending) is extremely displeased; the terrorist in the wind has half the means to threaten the world with a miniaturized nuclear bomb.

While a rival agent gets the plum assignment of tracking the most likely action in Paris, JJ is banished to a nondescript Chicago apartment. His job: to surveil a single mother, Kate (Parisa Fitz-Henley), and her 9-year-old daughter, Sophie (Coleman). Kate’s deceased husband was connected to the terrorists, so there’s an unlikely chance that she knows something. In other words, it’s a tedious, likely useless monitoring gig. To make matters worse, JJ gets stuck with tech specialist Roberta “Bobbi” Ulf (Kristen Schaal), an aspiring field agent who worships him, and whose overeagerness is a constant embarrassment. (Schaal’s nasal, cartoon character voice — certainly not her fault, but still — wears thin very quickly.) Alas, JJ and Bobbi have barely begun, when the precocious Sophie and her adorable dog find one of the hidden cameras and — with astute Wi-Fi skills — track the spies to a

‘My Spy’ Starring: Dave Bautista, Chloe Coleman, Parisa Fitz-Henley, Kristen Schaal, Greg Bryk, Ken Jeong, Devere Rogers and Noah Danby Rating: PG-13, for action violence and profanity neighboring apartment. Sophie’s subsequent action proves unexpected. Lonely and friendless after the abrupt move from Paris, she blackmails JJ into becoming her new constant companion. Desperate not to have his cover blown to Langley, he reluctantly agrees — and discovers, as with all blackmail victims, that the little girl’s demands are ongoing. The formula is familiar and predictable, but Bautista and Coleman make it feel fresh. Her wide-eyed candor and mildly saucy cunning are balanced by

the woebegone despair of a little girl desperate to join the cliques on the school playground. Bautista, in turn, credibly plays a guy utterly divorced from his feelings, who leads an isolated life with nothing but a pet fish (Blueberry) for company. Watching the two of them warily bond is a treat, because they make it feel authentic. Fitz-Henley’s Kate is intelligent, sensitive to her daughter’s distress … and overwhelmed by everything. The script grants her a reasonable excuse for trusting this hulking guy with her little girl, and we can anticipate where that is going, as well. Bobbi is horrified by all of this, given how protocol has been abandoned; Schaal nonetheless becomes less whiny as the story progresses, which is a good thing. Her sparring with Bautista develops into the mildly brittle sniping of a married couple. Devere Rogers and Noah Danby are a hoot as Carlos

Her wide-eyed candor and mildly saucy cunning are balanced by the woebegone despair of a little girl desperate to join the cliques on the school playground. and Todd, a gay neighbor couple who take an interest in JJ’s developing relationship with Kate and Sophie. Rogers is cheerfully bubbly and talkative; Danby’s Todd “speaks” only in monosyllabic grunts. Greg Bryk is appropriately nasty as French illegal arms dealer Victor Marquez — Kate’s brother-inlaw, and Sophie’s uncle — who is seeking the plans that’ll allow terrorists to build the aforementioned nuclear bomb. Although most of the mayhem and action sequences are bloodless, a few details — such as a baddie’s severed head floating across the screen, in slow motion — are needlessly tasteless, and stretch the film’s PG-13 rating. Fortunately, the various character dynamics more than compensate for the occasional lapses, and there’s no denying the fun in watching Bautista’s JJ attempt to dance. And ice skate. “My Spy” certainly won’t set the world on fire, but it’s a delightful way to spend a couple of hours.

POSTER: Job didn’t always pay much, but he had a great time From Page B1 sculpture from coppersmith Tio Giambruni, and helped the latter with castings that are now out on campus. Sculpture artist Bob Arneson, a grad student there who had his own studio on the top floor with the beginnings of his uniquely special icon work, taught Morris as well. Morris also took a run at acting, auditioning at the then-new Theatre Arts Building next door, and perMORRIS Circa 1974 forming in several productions. “Now that was a real trip,” he said. One afternoon when he was at the student union building at Freeborn Hall, he noticed a strong smell of ink coming from the lower level. Something about it drew him in, and not long after that, he began volunteering at the campus print shop and drawing posters for campus events, sometimes for tips that went toward food and drinks, but mostly for free. “The silkscreen process with hand-cut screens was very primal and basic, and truly handson,” Morris recalled. He learned how to do photo-exposed stencils and began experimenting with multicolor split-fountain inking. “Combining silkscreen with my first ASUCD offset printed poster for Jefferson Airplane’s concert at Freeborn Hall in 1967 opened a whole new world of printmaking,” he said. Morris migrated the next year to the Bay Area with his new friend and artistic partner Frank Carson, also a UCD student. They began working with rockshow promoters and created posters for events throughout the Northern California music

scene. He brought the band Spirit, along with Davis-based band The Oxford Circle, to Freeborn Hall in 1968, sponsored through his former fraternity, Delta Sigma Phi. Morris said that discipline and focus were needed in those early years. “Creating rock posters when promoters asked for a quick turnaround and weren’t paying much money became more of a creative ‘jam session,’ rather than some kind of unique artistic experience,” he said. But he also noted: “We really did have a great time doing the work, though. Every job was its own kind of adventure. And it was pretty cool to be able to go to almost all of the concerts we did the artwork for, and to see some of the greatest bands of that era.” During this time, he continued to draw on the influences that inspired him from the beginning. Morris still appreciates Thiebaud’s storied art career, and has tried to get to any of Thiebaud’s openings when possible, such as his Whitney Museum show in New York City. Morris also cited other influences such as Art Nouveau poster artists Alphonse Mucha and Jules Chéret, as well as other artists of the time like Stanley Mouse, Rick Griffin and Victor Moscoso. During this period, Carson moved to New York and Morris continued to work on his own with several rock promoters. His hand-drawn lettering and eradefining printing still hang today at concert halls and rock museums, and can be viewed at www. TMrockPosters.com. Morris also formed meaningful relationships with many alternative-thinking groups, such as the Diggers, the Ecology Center, the Berkeley Free Press and Planet Drum.

These influencers connected him with other liberal-minded groups to help start a free print shop they named Jellyroll Press. He did the offset printing himself on an old single-color press. “They built a process darkroom and plate-burning machines, and became a completely independent shop that supplied many of the counterculture posters and manifestos of the era,” Morris explained. “We used the money from the rock promoters to buy supplies to print important anti-war chronicles and some of the first ecology manifestos — all for free! A great history of this period can be found in David Rossman’s book ‘All of Us or None.’” Morris’ oeuvre was prolific. By 1973, he had started his own Berkeley office, Sharpshooter Studios, and continued to do rock posters for local promoters, while also creating awardwinning logo designs and advertising art for many Bay Area businesses. Much of his work at the time reflected his rockposter-oriented hand-lettering designs. He also worked with UC Berkeley’s entertainment group, SUPERB, and designed a series of posters for campus music events (also chronicled on his rock-poster website). The logo he designed for the group is still in use today. A huge blow came when Jellyroll Press was destroyed by a fire, nearly ending Morris’ printing ambitions. He persisted, however, and often used presses from East Bay shops during off-hours to burn plates and print his work. For several years, Morris was invited to use a production center in Berkeley belonging to David Goines, also a renowned poster artist. Morris anticipated what was to be the end of the classic studio

The disciplined regimen of daily commuting, caring for a sick spouse and raising his two children — while meeting the corporate demands for productivity — forced him to focus and continue to grow in his confidence and creative skill sets. “This was a tremendously strong and stabilizing period in my life,” he said. “My wife was battling cancer and the medical benefits (obtained through his corporate job) helped her live for 10 more years.” The years that followed were

some of his hardest. His wife eventually lost her cancer battle and he lost his job when the San Francisco firm went bankrupt after 50 years. He went through years of interviews, but many recruiters found him too old and overqualified. He tried selling life insurance with little success and moved from a large house at the Moraga Country Club to a onebedroom apartment in a seniorhousing complex. But through it all, he rolled with the changes. “I had several prodigious creative years, even with very little financial success,” Morris recalled. “I was the U.S. contact point for a Mumbai tech start-up called ZINFI, where I helped to market contact management and lead generation platforms to big companies like McAfee, Oracle and Netgear. “I’m still optimistic and joyous over the years now that my adult son and daughter are doing great and have been successful and I’ve been blessed with a granddaughter,” he said. “I am fortunate now, that a young production manager took a shot at hiring an old guy, and am working as a designer at a Pleasant Hill sign shop. I get to use all of my experience and skillsets to help the shop with vehicle wraps, signs of all types and large-format banners and posters. It feels great to still be able to create good art.” He continues to take on freelance assignments 56 years after his beginnings at Davis. The most important thing he took away from those early years, he said, was to “always be ready to learn new things, and never stop working to keep your mind strong and the creative spirit vibrant and alive.” An overview of his work and varied skillsets can be viewed at www.ThomasMorrisDesign.com.

Local golfers in spotlight Dean battles on TV; Long to CA Amateur BY EVAN REAM Enterprise staff writer

FRED GLADDIS/ENTERPRISE FILE PHOTO

Davis High grad Griffith Long was gaining momentum at Pacific when the COVID-19 pandemic canceled the second half of the season. However, once golf was deemed OK to play again, he medaled in a June qualifier for the California Amateur.

After featuring in a handful of events for the University of the Pacific men’s golf team in the beginning his freshman year, 2019 Davis High graduate Griffin Long had his eyes set on making a bigger impact at the NCAA level during the second half of the season. But then COVID-19 happened, forcing the cancellation of all subsequent events. However, as he’s done on the golf course countless times, Long adapted and made a big step toward securing his dream of becoming a professional competitor one day by getting into this month’s California Amateur with a win in a June qualifier. Playing against a tough field of competition, Long carded a 4-under 68 at Peach Tree Country Club in Marysville to book his spot in the July 27 event at Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego. When Long tees it up on Day 1 of the shootout, it will be his second time playing in the Cal-Am. “This tournament always has one of the strongest fields in amateur golf,” he Long told The Enterprise. “It’s fun to be able to compete in such a

high-level tournament.” For those around the DHS golf scene in recent years, none of this comes as a surprise as Long compiled a high-school career on par with the likes of current PGA professional Nick Watney and 2016 U.S. Open qualifier Tyler Raber. A four-time all-Delta League selection, Long was named the league’s Player of the Year twice and became the first Devil golfer since Raber to make it to the CIF State Tournament. Long looked to be transitioning to the Division I game with ease, finishing strong in four of Pacific’s seven events, while carding season-low 71s twice before COVID shut everything down, leaving him searching for more opportunities. “I wasn’t able to compete at all during that time and many of the tournaments in early summer were canceled as well, so it was pretty much a mandatory break from golf,” Long said. “It was also difficult to find places to practice and keep my game sharp during quarantine.” Still, as things started opening up, Long continued to hone his game. “I’ve been trying to spend as much time as possible out on the golf course instead of working a lot on technical stuff at the range,” he said. Early in his high-school career, Long said that his goal was to become a professional, citing Watney as an example. Given all the recent events and this latest pause, though, he was asked again if this was still his goal.

“Yes,” he said simply, likely on his way back out to the course.

Holy putt-putt If it wasn’t for having to negotiate a rolling log after her putt, former Davis High golfer Marie Dean might have moved on to play for $250,000 on ABC-TV’s “Holey Moley” mini-golf series. After beating professional golfer Fiamma Felitch on the first hole, Dean fell off one of the game show’s obstacles and lost to eventualDEAN winner Alexandra Scott in the eight-player elimination format on Thursday night. Dean, a 2018 graduate of DHS, captured 11 Junior Golf Association of Northern California titles and was a threetime Delta League MVP LONG as a Blue Devil. The daughter of David Dean and Kristy Soloway survived the first round on No. 2 — called the Porta-Potty — after sinking a 3-foot putt with her back to the hole and reversing her putter head. The show is associated with Golden State Warrior great Stephen Curry, who opted out of this season due to COVID19.

Kings could win the Battle of the Bubble O

n March 11, the NBA indefinitely suspended its season amid concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic. During that four-month break, the league has been negotiating and fulfilling player contracts, monitoring health concerns and working towards a restart date. That date is finally upon us. On July 30, NBA players will suit up and play real games for the first time in what seems like forever. The restart presents a very unusual schedule to determine postseason rankings. Twenty-two teams will enter “the bubble” at Disney World Orlando’s Wide World of Sports, a fortified (healthy?) basketball utopia. Each team will play in eight “regular-season” games to jockey for better position in the standings. In some cases, franchises will be fighting to play into the so-called postseason. The most compelling story of the battle of the bubble takes place for the eighth seed in the Western Conference. The Memphis Grizzlies currently inhabit that final playoff spot, but Portland, New Orleans, San Antonio, Phoenix and our Sacramento Kings all have a shot at further glory. Even after those games, there could be additional drama ... If the ninth seed finishes within four games of the eighth seed, the two teams will duke it out in a playin game. To add even more intrigue, the nine seed has to beat the eight seed twice, whereas that eight seed can knock off its opponent with one win. Sacramento will be eager to bump the incumbent and snap a brutally dry 13-year playoff drought. The national media, however, is writing off the Kings before the ball even tips off. The Pelicans and Blazers are the only teams, scribes write, that are considered a threat to pass the Grizzlies. The disrespect is nothing new to the Sactown faithful — but from my vantage point, they have a lot to be hopeful about during this playoff push. Foremost in my reasoning is point guard De’Aaron Fox. The third-year pro has made yet another leap in his ability, improving to average 20.4 points and 6.8 assists per game. He is the fastest player in the league, liquefying opposing teams in transition. When the pace slows down and the Kings operate in the half-court, his impressive finesse is boldly displayed through a variety of crossovers, step backs and tough finishes at the rim that keep defenders guessing. The former Kentucky Wildcat also is no slouch on the defensive end, swallowing up 1.4 steals a night and using his quickness to keep opposing guards at bay. Joining the Kings’ catalyst is a fantastic crop of players. Buddy Hield, this season’s NBA 3-point champion, is a certified deadeye, connecting on 39.5 percent of almost 10 attempts a game. Bogdan Bogdanovic and Harrison Barnes, who average 14.5 and 14.7 points, respectively, are both critical cogs in the Kings’ offense, accounting for big

performances when Fox and Hield have rare off nights. However, the talent in the Kings rotation doesn’t end with these four. Nemanja Bjelicia, revelling in the best season of his career, torches defenses with 30 foot bombs from what can only be described as “belly range.” The 32 year-old Serbian is often joined in the frontcourt by the electrifying Richaun Holmes, a 6-10 center with a heart twice as big. The energetic big man does the dirty work for his teammates, blocks shots into the bleachers and dunks on opponents for fun. This has cemented him as a fan favorite in Sacramento, even getting chants of “MVP” from the Golden 1 Center crowd. Overall defensive output is not difficult to find with veterans Kent Bazemore, Alex Len and Cory Joseph making things difficult on opponents. Young players fill out the rest of the Kings’ rotation, hoping for more opportunities to display their budding NBA skills. Harry Giles has played some important minutes at the five this season, showing off his first-class passing ability and the swagger of a seasoned vet. Marvin Bagley III, the second overall pick in the 2018 NBA draft, is finally healthy after an injury-riddled sophomore campaign. If Bagley can stay healthy, his offenDE’AARON sive versatility, athletiFOX cism and rim-running AP PHOTO ability will be bonuses to the Kings in Orlando. This exciting group of players faces a daunting yet feasible road to their goal. The Kings will face the Spurs, Magic, Mavericks, Pelicans (twice), Nets, Rockets and Lakers in their final eight games of the regular season. The games against New Orleans are by far the most important games of the restart for the Kings. Winning both would not only increase Sacramento’s chances of the eight or nine seed, but would also give the Kings the tiebreaker in case both teams had the same record. Sacramento should have the means to beat the Magic and face significantly weakened rosters for the Nets and Spurs games. San Antonio will enter the bubble without one of their most important players, LaMarcus Aldridge. Aldridge underwent season-ending shoulder surgery. The Brooklyn Nets enter the bubble a handful of players short, because many tested positive for COVID-19 or are nursing injuries. Key players like Spencer Dinwiddie and DeAndre Jordan will stay home, impacting the Nets chances. All things considered, it is very possible for the Kings to produce a winning record in the restart and thrust themselves into the playoffs for the first time since 2006. They will need to play well and have other results go in their favor, a combination that the team has struggled to balance in recent memory. With a long break to rest and regain strength and a hunger to win that burns hotter than ever, the Kings have all they need at their disposal to end the longest playoff-less streak in league history. — Reach Enterprise correspondent Will Wyman at wymanw26@gmail.com.

Swimmers need to schedule time at Manor Pool.

Limited swim lanes available Enterprise staff The city is offering limited public lap swim hours at Manor Pool in East Davis. Following almost four months of closure, swimmers 14 and older can reserve one of the facility’s eight lanes (a recommended 24-hours in advance) via the city’s recreation website: (webtrac.cityofdavis.org/ wbwsc/webtrac.wsc/splash. htm#activities). To help maintain social distancing measures, just one swimmer will be permitted per lane. Time slots lasting 45 minutes will be available at 8:15 a.m., noon and 8 p.m. Monday

through Friday. Swim fees are $4 per visit (no cash accepted) and drop-ins will not be not be allowed. Facial coverings will be required when swimmers are not actively in the water, and changing areas and indoor showers will remain closed. Modified swim lessons are being offered at Manor Pool with registration also on the city’s website. UC Davis’ Activities and Recreation Center is open with limited hours and new safety protocols in place. Make reservations at campusrecreation.ucdavis. edu. Locker rooms are not available.

UCD dominates BWC All-Academic teams Enterprise staff Ninety UC Davis studentathletes from 12 sports were named to the Big West Academic All-Conference teams for winter and spring sports, the league office announced this week. To earn Big West AllAcademic honors, studentathletes must hold a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or higher, complete one full year at the member institution prior to the year for which the award is bestowed, and compete in at least 50 percent of their team’s contests for that year. The Aggie total crushed the previous benchmark for honorees, surpassing the 66 won in the 2018-19 season. The usual requirement for minimum competitions was waived for track and field due to the COVID-19 pandemic canceling the season; however, all or most of the 32 honorees from those two UC Davis teams were

expected to compete significantly in 2020. When their seasons were ended in mid-tournament, Aggie women’s basketball claimed seven honors while men’s basketball landed one. Psychology major Sophia Song captured her third straight honor with Kayla Konrad, Sage Stobbart and Katie Toole each being lauded a second time. Mackenzie Trpcic and Emma Gibb also were honored. Psychology major Damion Squire made the list for men’s basketball. Senior animal science major Sarah Anderson, who earlier this year was selected as UC Davis’ female recipient for Big West Scholar-Athlete of the Year, earned her sixth total award between cross country and track. See Davisenterprise.com for a complete list of the UC Davis Academic All-Conference members.
