Council OKs mall proposal

Garamendi sounds warning on Post Office

BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY

Enterprise staff writer

Enterprise staff writer A recent slowdown in mail processing by the United States Postal Service, resulting from operational changes at the agency, has raised concerns that the federal mail system could be ill-equipped to handle November’s presidential election, in which an unprecedented proportion of ballots are expected to be cast by mail. Over the past few months, purported costcutting measures at USPS have included removing expensive mail sorting machines and blue curbside mailboxes and restricting overtime pay and new hiring. Last week, the Postal Service warned states it may not be able to meet mail-in ballot deadlines, a failure that could disenfranchise millions of voters or cause controversy during vote tallying, which is expected to take several days or possibly weeks this year due to the volume of mail-in ballots. The Postal Service cutbacks have come as President Trump continues to rail against mail-in voting, falsely claiming that allowing widespread voting by mail would invite opportunities for fraud. In fact, voter fraud is rare and there is no evidence linking fraud with mail-in voting. Last week, Trump said publicly that he opposes funding the Postal Service because he wants to make it harder for Americans to vote by mail, confirming accusations from Democrats that he is undermining the Postal Service ahead of the election. “They need that money in order to have the post office work so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots,” said Trump, who trails Democratic presidential nominee

A wildfire burns through a hillside in western Yolo County.

NorCal wildfires keep burning BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer Yolo County’s air quality remained poor and unhealthy Thursday as fire crews continued their battles against a series of wildfires burning in five counties. The LNU Lightning Complex Fire — a series of fires ablaze in parts of Yolo, Solano Napa, Sonoma and Lake counties — had scorched 131,000 acres with zero containment as of about 5:30 p.m. Thursday, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection’s incident website.

“Extreme fire behavior with short- and long-range spotting are continuing to challenge firefighting efforts,” the website says. “Fires continue to make runs in multiple directions and impacting multiple communities.” The fires — started Monday by lightning strikes — have destroyed or damaged at least 175 structures, threatened another 30,500 and triggered numerous road closures and evacuation orders, with multiple evacuation zones established in western Yolo County. Highway 128 west of Winters remained closed from County Road

Colby tells school board to plan for rough times BY JEFF HUDSON Enterprise staff writer Bruce Colby, who served as the Davis school district’s chief budget officer for 14 years, officially retired at the end of July. But Colby came out of retirement briefly on Tuesday night (Aug. 18) to advise the school board trustees that they should prepare now for what could be a nasty financial jam about a year hence. As a result of a decline in economic activity due to the COVID19 virus, California is experiencing a substantial dip in state tax revenues. And in the final state budget that California legislators approved and Gov. Gavin Newsom signed in late June the state added a big round of deferrals of state

funding to local school districts, along the line of the deferrals of state funding that occurred during the Great Recession (2008 to 2011).

As school board president Joe DiNunzio put it, “A deferral is only helpful if at some point the state makes good on that.”

Colby explained that the final version of the state These deferrals are budget in late June conessentially IOUs from the COLBY tained new deferrals that state to local school disSounding rendered the Davis school tricts, in the form of a alarm district’s adoption budget delay (deferral) in pay(based on earlier state budments under the Local Control Funding Formula that the state get estimates from the governor’s had intended to make.

The aging University Mall across Russell Boulevard from the UC Davis campus will be demolished and replaced with a multistory mixed-use development under a plan narrowly approved by the Davis City Council on Tuesday. The council voted 3-2 in favor of the University Commons redevelopment project with Vice Mayor Lucas Frerichs and Councilman Will Arnold casting votes against it. The future of the project seemed in doubt prior to the vote when former mayor Brett Lee voiced his opposition to the project’s size. But after mall owner Brixmor offered to reduce the building height from 80 feet to 72 feet, Lee added his support to that of Mayor Gloria Partida and Councilman Dan Carson, who voted in favor of the plan. The concession on height offered by Brixmor would still allow for retail and

comparatively small school district like Davis. Colby additionally warned the trustees that enrollment projects indicate that the Davis school district is looking at a probable decline of 346 students between 2021 and 2023. Since the state sends average daily attendance funding to school district on a perpupil basis, a decline of 346 students could easily amount to a reduction of several million dollars. Colby warned that the combined impact of the new state budget’s funding deferrals along with the impact of an enrollment decline in the range of 340-some students could prove to be a financial double-whammy, unless the school district begins to prepare now.

Briefly ‘Armed’ man had airsoft gun Woodland police evacuated the city’s Post Office area Wednesday afternoon after officers observed a suspected armed man inside a vehicle. According to a post on the Woodland Police Department’s Facebook page, the officers were dispatched to the post office parking lot in the 700 block of Court Street “regarding a subject who appeared to be unconscious in a vehicle.” “When officers arrived, the subject had a gun in his lap and was still unconscious,” the post said. “The area was cleared and the subject was called out of the vehicle.” Police said the man was cooperative and relayed that the ‘gun’ was an airsoft handgun replica, the department posted in a 4:45 p.m. update. The man was cited for possessing a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia.

Man arrested for auto theft A 21-year-old Dixon man faces criminal charges for allegedly driving a stolen truck and vandalizing another vehicle, according to Davis police. Ronald Albee Carbahal came to officers’ attention at about 8 a.m. Tuesday when witnesses reported seeing him throw a rock through the passengerside window of a Cadillac parked outside the Motel 6 on Chiles Road, “causing great damage,” Lt. Art Camacho said. The man then got into a white Mazda pickup, which officers caught up to and determined it had been stolen, Camacho said.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 2020

Nothing but the facts in front of us I ’m always intrigued when I get my Official Sample Ballot and hidden somewhere in there will be an “Impartial Analysis” of one issue or another. Impartial in whose eyes, the author’s? Imagine if Donald Trump were tasked with giving an impartial ballot analysis on the candidacy of one Joe Biden. Imagine Kamala Harris giving an impartial analysis of Mike Pence. In this day when even the simple act of wearing a face mask — or not — has become a loaded political statement, I’m not sure I trust anyone to give me a truly impartial spin on anything. Especially something we’re about to vote on. Be that as it may, our Official Yolo County Sample Ballot features the Davis city attorney’s take on Measure B. But wait, let me rephrase that. It’s not the city attorney’s “take,” it’s the city attorney’s “impartial analysis.” In other words, no leading the witness one way or the other. And don’t you really want to know how the guy or gal who pens an impartial analysis on any subject actually ends up voting on the issue at hand? And trust

infamous Bermuda Triangle. “The 187-acre DISC site and 16.5-acre Mace Triangle site are northeast of Mace Blvd. and Interstate 80 near the ‘Mace Curve,’ approximately 2.5 miles east of Downtown Davis in unincorporated Yolo County.”

me, they do vote. “Measure B was placed on the ballot by the City Council,” the analysis begins without wading into deep water. “If approved by the voters, Measure B would approve Resolution 20-110 amending the City of Davis General Plan to allow for the development of the Davis Innovation & Sustainability Campus (‘DISC’) and Mace Triangle.” I’m not sure I can vote for a project with an ampersand in its title, but now I’m the one not being impartial here. I mean, shouldn’t it really be known as “DI & SC,” which sounds more like a regional railroad than a major development. The Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe comes to mind here. And let’s just hope the Mace Triangle is not related to the

haven’t done the math, but I’ll allow those figures to be introduced into evidence without objection. “The ‘Citizens’ Right to Vote on Future Use of Open Space and Agricultural Lands’ Ordinance requires voters approval of amendments to the General Plan that change the land use designation from agricultural or open space to urban uses.” Can we just shorten that to the CRVFUOSALO so it will fit comfortably on a business card? “It also requires voter approval of ‘baseline project features’ that cannot be significantly modified later without voter approval.” Which means the developer cannot promise an on-site McDonald’s and then replace it by dark of night with a Chick-fil-A. But he can, presumably, plant petunias on the premises if pansies become unavailable.

This very requirement is now the subject of much discussion and dispute at another voterapproved project on the opposite side of town. And yes, well-meaning citizens can have significantly different opinions about what those three words — “baseline project features” — actually mean. For instance, one of the proposed baseline project features is that “at least 1,800 trees” must be “planted onsite.” So, does this mean the developer can put in a working almond orchard or are these supposed to be decorative shade trees like redwoods and dogwoods and cottonwoods and maples and elms and sycamores and the mighty valley oak? There’s much, much more to this impartial analysis, but I do have to say that city attorney Inder Khalsa has successfully negotiated a number of potential bumps in the road and given us the facts and nothing but the facts. I’d offer a shake of the hand for a job well done, but these days I suppose an elbow bump is more appropriate. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenterprise.net.

Tuleyome lecture to focus Pimping, pandering yields 10-year term on unfamiliar mammal Special to The Enterprise

Special to The Enterprise

he ringtail is a relatively unknown small mammal found in the United States and in Central America. As implied in the name, they have a long, black-andwhite banded tail and are stealthy predators during nighttime hours. They are about the size of a small housecat and are sometimes called ringtail cats — even though they are not related to cats and in fact, are actually related to raccoons. To learn more about these mammals here in California, join a Zoom lecture, “Ringtail Ecology in the Sutter Buttes,” by wildlife biologist David Wyatt, at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 27, via Zoom. Register on the event page at http://tuleyome.org/ events/ and download Zoom. After registering, participants will be sent an email with login information. Attendees will be able to ask questions via Zoom’s chat feature.

Yolo County prosecutor announced this week the sentencing of a Woodland man to 10 years in state prison for pimping and pandering multiple victims. Ray Lawler Jr., 41, received his sentence on Aug. 7 from Yolo Superior Court Judge Paul Richardson. In May 2019, correctional staff at the Yolo County Jail advised the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office’s human trafficking unit that Lawler, a jail inmate, was possibly engaged in pimping and pandering while serving a sentence for a parole violation. District attorney investigators began reviewing Lawler’s communications from jail and found he was directing an adult victim residing in Texas on how to post to escort websites, advising prices for commercial sex acts, demanding she continue to engage in commercial sex acts when she said she did not want to, and requesting she put money on Lawler’s jail commissary account. Investigators arrested Lawler for pimping and pandering on June 27, 2019. Their investigation revealed that Lawler had been involved in pandering other adult victims since 2017, while on parole. Several victims were identified and a large amount of evidence accumulated.

MALL: Divided council votes for redevelopment project From Page A1 office space on the ground floor with four floors of housing above, while the three-floor parking garage would also be built beneath the residential portion. In voicing his support, Carson said the proposal met his three criteria for such projects: sound land use policy, mitigated environmental impacts and a positive fiscal impact for the city. He praised the site’s location next to campus, which he said will reduce the number of people driving to campus from other parts of the city, and the student-oriented housing, which he said would prompt students to move out of single-family homes, freeing those houses up for families. Carson also stressed the economic benefits to the city, particularly given the sharp decline in sales tax revenue in the city and the loss of sales-tax-generating businesses at University Mall recently. “This is an economic development project,” Carson said. “This mall is decaying. This is our best chance to attract the investment to turn it again into a vibrant

economic center and we need things like this if we’re going to pay the bills around here. “I cannot think of a time when we have had more of a need for housing and jobs and revenue for our city.” But neither Frerichs nor Arnold were swayed by Brixmor’s concession on height. Said Arnold, “We’re focusing on pure height which is part of, but not the entirety of … what people are concerned about. When we say scaling it back, at least when I do, I don’t mean just shaving off feet from the sky.” Arnold said he had concerns about affordability as well as the number of four-bedroom units included in the project. He had previously urged that such units — geared toward students — not be included at all. “Folks in our community, particularly students, have been advocating for more affordable rental housing and we’ve heard consistently from students that on-campus housing is too expensive,” Arnold also said. “And that’s part of the reason that many choose to live off campus. “But the proposal we have

before us now would be even more expensive than on campus housing,” he said. Frerichs’s opposition also stemmed from the size of the project. “I’m supportive of the project here but personally I think it needs to be right sized to accommodate the concerns of the community,” Frerichs said, referencing a large volume of emails from neighbors objecting to the size of University Commons. “It’s not just adjacent neighbors who are raising concerns,” he added, noting opposition coming from other parts of the city. And the University Commons recipe, he said, is not the right one for the location. In voicing her support for the project, Partida disagreed with those who want to keep University Mall as a retail-only center but one that is perhaps revitalized. “It’s not a retail gem as it stands,” she said, referencing comments by planning commissioners who unanimously opposed University Commons. “And it’s not headed in that direction,” Partida added. “We’ve

all been down to the Woodland mall, which has sat in a state of decay for at least 10 years and probably more. So I would question, if it’s that easy to revitalize a mall… and make it more attractive, that would have happened already.” Regarding the opposition to housing geared toward students, Partida said she was taken aback by the hostility of some residents. “I know that there is a long and deep-seated frustration at the university for increasing enrollment without providing housing. But this is not the students’ fault,” she said. “(Y)es, the university has enough room to build enough housing to fully segregate students on their land, but how would we get them to stay there? Students want to live off of campus,” Partida said. “Not just because it’s more expensive there but because it’s part of a student’s evolution to leave campus and live in the adult world.” Additionally, Partida said, “it’s clear that many … want a return to what was here 30 years ago and we can all empathize with wanting to go back in time 30 years… but we have to face the

fact that the economics are at odds with building for the past.” The choice before the city, she said, is letting the area continue to degrade and fail to meet housing needs “or build an ambitious project across the street from a world-class university. “When we talk about smart growth, this is what it looks like.” Lee, who lives a block from the site, echoed Partida’s comments on the future of retail. “Why can’t it just be like it used to be, a vibrant mall?” he asked. “Well, retail doesn’t work that way. “The idea that Brixmor is going to plunk a lot of money down and look to the glory days of the 1980s, that just not going to happen. We see the devastation that retail is experiencing. In order to make it work, it needs to be a mixed-use project.” Bill Brown, a Brixmor executive vice president, told the council after the vote that Brixmor’s CEO often says the very best projects often arise from conflict like that seen in Davis over the proposal, and said “we look forward to delivering a worthy project.”

GARAMENDI: House members called back to vote on postal action From Page A1 Joe Biden in the polls. “If they don’t get (the funding), that means you can’t have universal mail-in voting.” The changes at USPS have been implemented by Louis DeJoy, who Trump appointed as Postmaster General in May. DeJoy is a major Republican donor who has significant financial investments in the Postal Service’s competitors. Amid growing alarm, the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives announced it will cut short its summer recess this week to hold an emergency vote on the Delivering for America Act. The bill would block operational changes to the Postal Service until 2021 and provide the agency with $25 billion in funding. The House is expected to vote on the legislation on Saturday. Meanwhile, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called

John Garamendi, D-Walnut Grove, checked in with The Enterprise via Zoom to discuss the challenges the U.S. Postal Service is facing. on elected officials to participate in a national day of action to support the Postal Service on Tuesday, urging representatives to hold press events in their districts. In an interview with The Enterprise, Rep. John Garamendi, D-Walnut Grove, echoed that alarm and warned of the potential consequences

of the “dismantling” of the Postal Service. On the same day, DeJoy, who has been called to testify before Congressional oversight committees in the coming days, released a statement saying the Postal Service will suspend its cost-saving measures and leave mail processing

equipment where it is until after the election. Garamendi said he is not taking DeJoy at his word. “I don’t believe him for a moment,” the congressman said, adding that in threeand-a-half months on the job, DeJoy has “done his level-best to dismantle critical parts of the Postal Service infrastructure.” On Wednesday, reports from Michigan, a key battleground state, emerged that mail sorting machines continued to be yanked from post offices and destroyed. The same day, DeJoy reportedly told Pelosi “he has no intention of replacing the sorting machines (nationwide), blue mailboxes and other infrastructure that have been removed,” the House Speaker said. “Mr. DeJoy has a long way to go before he gains any confidence from me and I think from the American

west side of the county Wednesday, and posted a map of the evacuation zones and rally points on its social media platforms: Fire Evacuation Zones. The Winters Police Department announced, “Due to mandatory evacuations taking place near the City of Winters, the Emergency Operation Center Room (EOC) located at 702 Main Street, Winters, CA will be open as a Rally Center. The Rally Center will be available to gather, get information and make arrangements.” Those and other

wildfires burning across the state prompted Gov. Gavin Newsom to declare a statewide emergency Tuesday: “We are deploying every resource available to keep communities safe as California battles fires across the state during these extreme conditions,” Newsom said in a news release.

Nora (Eleonore) Agnes Rosenberg, 96, of Walnut Creek (Rossmoor) and Davis (Carlton Senior Living), passed away on Aug. 3, 2020. She was born to parents Aladar Vadasz and Lillian Berger Vadasz, on Jan. 12, 1924 in Budapest, Hungary. Nora was very studious and intelligent. She studied languages and was interested in art history at University of Brussels in Belgium but was unable to graduate due to World War II. Nora survived the Holocaust as a young adult. After the war, she escaped to Bogota, Colombia, where she married another Hungarian refugee, Stefan Rosenberg in October of 1952. Nora worked as an assistant administrator and translator for various companies. Eventually she retired from the California Teachers Association. Nora was kind, friendly and enjoyed her family and friends; traveled internationally; was an exceptional duplicate competitive bridge player; engaged in sports including tennis, ski-racing, waterskiing, horseback riding, swimming, figure skating and hiking; spoke seven different languages; loved

reading and listening to classical music, and socializing with friends. Nora played the violin in various orchestras throughout the Bay Area of California. She ended her playing career at the age of 90 with the Mount Diablo Orchestra in Walnut Creek. Nora and Stefan raised two children: Anne and Charles in Bogota. The family immigrated to the United States in 1968. In 1973, Nora and her family became naturalized citizens of the United States. Nora is survived by daughter Anne; son Charles; son-in-law Fred Main; and grandchildren Kaitlyn, Douglas and Andrew Rosenberg Main. She was preceded in death by husband Stefan, parents Aladar and Lillian Vadasz, and brother Andrew Vadasz. No memorial will be held due to the COVID-19 epidemic.

This is the campaign literature that goes out and requests for (campaign) contributions,” Garamendi said. In California, early voting begins roughly six weeks from now, on Oct. 5. Garamendi also emphasized harmful consequences of a breakdown in mail delivery that are unrelated to the election, some of which especially affect the many people who rely on the Postal Service for medications. “A slow-down, as intended for ballots, also slows down the delivery of prescription drugs, creating a very human health crisis,” Garamendi said.

The congressman said that while the House’s Postal Service bill may not contain direct language on replacing infrastructure that has been removed, it would hold USPS to a standard that requires the agency to restore any necessary equipment. “The Delivering for America Act requires the Postal Service to provide the same level of service that was available on Jan. 1, 2020. That is all aspects of service — hours of service for the actual post office, employees, the timeframe in which mail would be delivered,” Garamendi said. “If those sorting machines are necessary to provide that, those too must be put back into service.” Garamendi said the oversight hearings in the Senate on Friday and the House on Monday are “a good start,” adding that “every day

Pet Tales

THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE

4-legged friends also teach

Pets of the week Special to The Enterprise Lots of animals are waiting for “forever homes” at the Yolo County Animal Shelter, 2640 E. Gibson Road in Woodland. Among them is Bobo (A182164), a 5-month-old, very shy male cat who has a booming purr once you spend some time with him. He will need a quiet home and family that will give him time to acclimate to his new space and would likely do better with another calm cat.

BY EVELYN DALE Special to The Enterprise Kids and pets equal great learning! With kids at home instead of school, parents need all the help they can get and pets are there to help. Here are a few tips and lessons to get kids learning all kinds of stuff with a little help from a pet or two. First off, there are two kinds of curricula — hidden and formal. The hidden curriculum is what kids learn outside formal lessons, including values and unspoken social and emotional experiences. Pets “teach” a hidden curriculum by giving unconditional love that helps children develop self-esteem, as well as social, emotional and cognitive skills. Talking to pets not only develops language and communication skills but also provides emotional support especially when there’s a need to confide feelings or show affection without recrimination. Pets keep you active too. How about playing fetch or going for a long walk? Pets also provide opportunities for adults to teach important life-long lessons through humane education that develops empathy, kindness, selfconfidence and leadership skills as well as responsibility. Kids need to respect pets and understand that their behavior affects pets. So the first lesson is for kids to bond with pets by observing and playing with them appropriately. Young children can learn how to use treats to get a pet to follow commands it already knows and then teach it new tricks. Responsibility for care depends on age and maturity. Have kids begin by giving meals and then graduate to preparing meals as well. Additional lessons depend on the pet. Dogs and some cats can be walked on a leash. Gerbils, birds and similar pets need cages cleaned. Appropriate care for all pets develops healthy living habits. Finally, children learn how to cope with loss when pets die. Managing such losses with respect and sensitivity prepares children for life itself. Pets can help with formal curriculum too. Reading aloud to a pet in a quiet room can be fun and builds reading proficiency because pets do not judge or correct readers’ mistakes.

Theo Dale draws his grandmother’s dog Roland. Theo learned drawing techniques in sixth grade. He’s practicing his skills to add excitement to his homeschooling.

PAWS FOR THOUGHT Researching and writing essays, short stories and poems about pets provides creative and imaginative opportunities to learn across the curriculum. Math lends itself to all kinds of pet calculations. How much to feed a pet? How to double ingredients for pet recipes? Don’t forget organizing time. Kids can keep track of when the cat is fed, the dog is walked or a pet’s cage is cleaned and then help with these activities. Develop analytical and mathematical skills with a pet survey comparing the number and types of pets friends have, then graphing the results. What does it cost to have a pet? Now there’s an opportunity to learn how to use a spreadsheet with formulas to calculate weekly, monthly and yearly costs for different kinds of pets! Don’t have a pet? Consider fostering. Otherwise borrow a friend’s pet or use a toy animal. ———— Happy Tails: Do you know about Pop Art? What about Pet Art?

cross. She is beautiful, people-friendly and very sweet. Spencer is a 1-year-old purebred German shepherd. He had to have his front leg amputated but is doing quite well as a tripod. He’s a very sweet boy who would love a home of his own to finish up his recovery.

Theo’s grandparents adopted Roland in November 2016. After that, it was fun, fun, fun snuggling and playing fetch at the Dale household! Earlier this summer, Theo asked his grandma if she’d send him a photo of Roland so he could draw him. With Roland’s photo printed out, Theo used The Da Vinci Initiative techniques he’d learned from his sixth-grade art teacher to create Roland’s portrait. Theo notes, “Homeschooling can be very boring and sheltering in place is lonely. I decided to start drawing my Grandma’s dog so I could feel closer to her. Thanks to my art teacher, I learned how to envelope, block and shade, and this has helped me to become better at drawing.” Interested in doing your own Pet Art?

Davis native keeps theater alive in age of coronavirus Special to The Enterprise BLOOMINGTON, Ind. â€” Davis native and New York University graduate Nancy Kimball, faced with shuttered theaters nationwide and no job prospects in her field, has been selected for an all-new artist residency in rural Indiana designed to give talented young actors and directors a safe place to keep creating in the age of COVID. A product of Korematsu Elementary, St. James School and the Oakland School for the Arts, Kimball started 2020 on top of the world. She was set to graduate from NYUâ€™s Tisch School of the Arts with a bachelorâ€™s degree in theater after only three years. Sheâ€™d cap off her training at the prestigious Stella Adler Studio of Acting by serving as the lead role in a play about the Victorian writer Charlotte BrontĂŤ. Her parents had bought tickets for her Yankee Stadium graduation. She was looking forward to beginning her acting career in New York, auditioning for shows during the day and working at night. Of course, her 2020 has not gone how she planned. She spent the spring attempting to do virtual movement and dance classes in her cramped East Village apartment. The Charlotte BrontĂŤ play was performed for 15 people on Zoom. She watched her graduation on YouTube. In the summer, she suddenly found herself waitressing at an Italian restaurant, trying to stay sane in a city under siege, and waiting to see where life would take her next. She would not have to wait long. In late June, a small group of Kimballâ€™s former NYU classmates, led by Fairfield native and fellow Oakland School for the Arts alum Kyndall Sillanpaa, reached out about joining an innovative new program â€” the Emerging Theatre Artist Residency â€” that would keep talented young actors and directors creating during the pandemic in a space that is safe and relatively isolated from COVID-19. â€œI didnâ€™t pick Nancy just

Nancy Kimball, who grew up in Davis, is quarantining with other young actors in an all-new artist residency in rural Indiana. They are working on a series of new plays, which they will debut outdoors in a safe, socially distant setting in early October.

â€œWhile I didnâ€™t necessarily envision myself on a farm in rural Indiana at this point in my life, there is nowhere else I would rather be.â€? Nancy Kimball Davis native and actor because we went to high school together, though that is a good part of our story,â€? Sillanpaa said. â€œNancy is fiercely dedicated to both the work she does and those she works with. She allows herself to be unapologetically invested in everything she does and the people she works with.â€? Kimball and eight other residents converged on The Hundredth Hill, an Bloomington, Ind., farm and artist retreat, in early August. Once tested and medically cleared, they quarantined together and began work immediately on a series of new plays, which the residents will debut outdoors in a safe, socially distant setting in early October. No theater company in

the country, from Broadway to small-town childrenâ€™s theaters, has been able to adapt successfully to the age of COVID-19. Attempts such as staging plays on Zoom, separating actors with dividers and releasing archival footage have received lukewarm responses. The Hundredth Hillâ€™s Emerging Theater Artist Residency is currently one of the only, if not the only, theater company nationwide actively creating and rehearsing new, traditional live theater. The artists hope the residency could serve as a model for how other companies could still produce safe and meaningful live performances. â€œThis is better than I could have ever expected,â€? Kimball said. â€œWhile I didnâ€™t necessarily envision myself on a farm in rural Indiana at this point in my life, there is nowhere else I would rather be. â€œI keep telling people that this is my quarantine dream. I feel so lucky. I was already lucky to be safe and healthy over the last few months. I really didnâ€™t think it would be possible to be acting in a room with other people again until who knows when.â€?

‘Chemical Hearts’: Partial combustion Engaging leads compensate for abridged book adaptation

‘Chemical Hearts’ Starring: Lili Reinhart, Austin Abrams, Sarah Jones, Kara Young, Coral Peña, C.J. Hoff, Bruce Altman, Meg Gibson and Adhir Kalyan Rating: R, for profanity, sexuality and teen drug use

BY DERRICK BANG Enterprise film critic There’s never been any shortage of stories focused on the bittersweet angst, hopes and heartbreak of young people in love; as one character in this film observes, we can go all the way back to Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.” The premise is universal, and everybody responds to it: a painfully familiar scenario that stretches back centuries. Amazing, then, that today’s writers continue to find (reasonably) fresh ways to explore the same well-trod territory. Australian author Krystal Sutherland made a significant splash with her debut novel, 2016’s “Our Chemical Hearts”; a bigscreen adaptation was inevitable, and it debuts today on Amazon Prime. Director/scripter Richard Tanne’s approach gets most of its emotional juice from the quietly sensitive performances by his two stars; alas, his 93-minute film can’t match the philosophical complexity of the 320page book. Tanne’s screenplay focuses almost exclusively on the two protagonists; many sidebar characters seem little more than afterthoughts. The result feels somewhat claustrophobic, although — again, to credit the stars — it’s easy to succumb to their predicament. Seventeen-year-old Henry Page (Austin Abrams) has long coveted the editorship of his high school newspaper: a job he secures as his senior year begins. He’s surprised to discover, however, that he’ll be sharing the position with transfer student Grace Town (Lili Reinhart, recognized from TV’s “Riverdale”). She’s an odd duck. She wears guys’ clothing, doesn’t seem interested in making herself look good, speaks only when spoken to — and, even then, with as few words as possible. It

Henry (Austin Abrams) doesn’t understand why Grace (Lili Reinhart) has joined the staff of the student newspaper; she refuses to write or participate in story-pitching sessions, preferring to solely edit the work of others. isn’t shyness; it feels more like an active disengagement from everything around her. She also has a pronounced, painful limp and walks with a cane. (Her being assigned the co-editorship seems a peculiar move on the part of the paper’s faculty advisor since she expresses no interest in the job. We have to just roll with it.) Henry fancies himself a romantic, despite never having had a girlfriend; he desperately wants to fall in love. His sudden proximity to Grace suggests possibilities, given that she enjoys love sonnets by Pablo Neruda. She graciously tolerates Henry’s presence, albeit in unusual ways. When he misses the bus, she offers him a lift in her car … which she asks him to drive (likely due to her injury, he assumes). But then she walks back to her place, and — a bit later — somebody comes along and drives her car home. Grace invites Henry to spend an evening feeding koi in what looks like an abandoned factory (another detail that likely made more sense in Sutherland’s novel). She is relentlessly philosophical; “People are the ashes of dead stars,” she muses,

His sudden proximity to Grace suggests possibilities, given that she enjoys love sonnets by Pablo Neruda. She graciously tolerates Henry’s presence, albeit in unusual ways. staring into the night sky. By day, though, she refuses to participate in journalism class, when Henry and the others bluesky possible themes for the end-of-year final issue. Henry, acutely sensitive to the moods of others, gradually realizes that Grace is damaged: not just physically, but also emotionally. Withdrawn. Unable to connect … but — and this, he senses, is key — not necessarily unwilling. Tanne doesn’t wait too long to reveal what troubles her so; Henry then is drawn even more strongly into her orbit, once he understands the reason behind her moody vulnerability. We can’t help being

charmed by the slow, cautiously careful manner in which he gradually wins her trust. At home, he practices the Japanese art form of kintsukuroi, in which small bowls or pots are smashed into pieces and then reassembled, the result becoming more beautiful for having been broken. The metaphor, as it applies to Henry’s approach to Grace, is obvious. Abrams is note-perfect as a nervous, bashful guy figuring out, step by step, how to connect with his first love. He and Sarah Jones also share a nice dynamic; she’s Henry’s older sister Suds, a medical student enduring her own agony, having just been dumped by her boyfriend.

She bitterly explains the physiology of a broken heart: that the brain sends the same signals it does when one is in physical pain (hence the book’s title). Abrams’ one serious flaw: He mumbles. Quite a lot. Chunks of his dialogue are difficult to discern. Reinhart radiates a forlorn, heartbreaking calmness; we desperately want Grace to smile, an act that seems utterly beyond her. She’s crippled not by her physical injury, but by an unfathomable weight of pain; we can almost see it, given the way Reinhart carries herself. When Grace finally displays candor, it emerges in a torrent that leaves Henry breathless. “Being young is so painful,” she observes, “it’s almost too much. The teenage years are limbo: halfway between being a kid and an adult. And adults are just scarred kids who were lucky enough to make it out of limbo alive.” (I do love that last line.) Composer Stephen James Taylor backs this developing dynamic with a blend of high-schoolgarage-band aesthetic, heard during daytime activities; and expressionistic, melancholy themes

that exemplify Grace’s nighttime realm of pain and grief. Henry has two best friends, who also work with him on the school paper. Kara Young is a perky, mischievous force of nature as La, struggling with her sexuality and dying to be noticed by fellow journalist Cora (Coral Peña). Henry and La’s mutual friend Muz (C.J. Hoff ) is a blank page. Tanne doesn’t even try to flesh him out; he’s simply there on occasion. (What’s with the strange names in this story? Suds, Muz and La???) Bruce Altman and Meg Gibson do their best during fleeting scenes as Henry’s parents; they seem progressive and compassionate, but otherwise don’t register more than the furniture in their living room. Robert Clohessy (a longtime fixture on TV’s “Blue Bloods”) gets even less to do as the mysterious individual who repeatedly collects Grace’s car. The story’s resolution isn’t much of a surprise, in part because the primary character dynamic and frequent philosophical musings share a more than a little with Disney’s adaptation of Jerry Spinelli’s “Stargirl,” which debuted a few months back. That said, I do love Tanne’s final scene, with its demonstration of devoted friendship: its own, equally strong form of love. I suspect, however, that Sutherland’s fans will find this film frustratingly superficial. — Read more of Derrick Bang’s film criticism at http://derrickbang. blogspot.com.

COMMENTARY

A major force for inequality

Prop. 24 A would result in redlining BY KHAIM MORTON Special to CalMatters

n the 1980s, I listened to my father Louis’ local radio show. It was a forum for the Black community to talk about social justice, civil rights and how the American Dream remains elusive for Black people. It highlighted the systemic challenges of surviving and trying to thrive in a government originally structured to treat Black people as property. Recently, I pulled these 30-year-old shows from the archives and found the conversations similar to those happening today. But, history is not doomed to repeat itself. We have an opportunity before us: One that only works if we work for it. We must organize. We must vote. Some of these systemic challenges are obvious and notorious. Others are less obvious but equally damaging and merit every bit as much scrutiny, even if buried deep in the technocratic and data structures of our contemporary economy. Proposition 24, the so-called privacy measure being bankrolled by Alastair Mactaggart, a wealthy real-estate developer from San Francisco, is one such example of the new challenges facing people of color. Prop. 24 fails us in two key ways: First, Prop. 24 creates a loophole that allows commercial credit agencies and data corporations to sell the personal information of small-business owners. Creating the loophole weakens the privacy of small-business owners and hurts our Black, Latino and Asian-American small businesses the most. And California leads the nation in minority-owned small businesses. Second, Prop 24 allows the continued use of “neighborhood scores” and fails to address “digital redlining,” a practice whereby lenders use a person’s race or the racial make-up of a neighborhood as a rationale for either refusing to lend to its residents or charging much higher interest rates. Historically, redlining stifled the ability of Black families to get ahead by either denying them access to home ownership or charging them significantly higher finance fees.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 2020

oday, redlining still exists deep in the data and neighborhood scores used by credit reporting agencies to determine a person’s credit or a neighborhood’s potential for investment. These scores are created based on a variety of factors, including census and aggregate financial transaction data, which are opaque and frequently biased against people of color. If Prop. 24 was truly a privacy initiative for all Californians, then decisionmakers should not be able to use these scores to determine where they want to invest. But instead, Prop. 24 fails to close this loophole to protect the privacy interests and socio-economic rights of people of color. Bottom line, Prop. 24 furthers the institutional racism that has long been used to deny Black families and other ethnic minorities equal access to homes, services and opportunity. As families in my community work to achieve the American Dream, pulling themselves up through hard work, we are still being discriminated against through technology and data systems. We need more protections to fight systemic racism, not less. I am not fooled by the 52 pages of confusing language and fine print in Prop. 24, and neither should you. I know racism when I see it; my father taught me better. I support my community in our quest to fulfill the promise of the American Dream. I’ll be voting “No” on Proposition 24. And so should you. — Khaim Morton is a small-business owner in Sacramento and a father of two sons, khaimmorton@gmail.com. He wrote this for CalMatters, a public interest journalism venture committed to explaining how California’s Capitol works and why it matters.

cross America, protests and rallies crying “Black Lives Matter” have featured thousands of demonstrators wearing no masks, taking no care to social distance and not bothering to sanitize their hands very often. They’re ostensibly pushing for social justice and racial and economic equality, calling for fair treatment and less violence from police and other authorities and in effect demanding more equity in hiring and education. But their frequent disregard for the contagion of the ongoing coronavirus plague often accomplishes the opposite: They and others who disregard simple but sometimes inconvenient precautions are very ironically and tragically helping push the greatest force for inequality since Jim Crow. That’s the virus, which afflicts low-income minority residents of California in far higher numbers than whites, who are often more affluent. Latinos, for the strongest example, make up about 39 percent of California’s population, but account for 56 percent of all COVID-19 diagnoses and 45.7 percent of deaths from the virus. African Americans are 6.5 percent of the populace and about the same percentage of COVID19 cases, but 8.5 percent of deaths from the virus. Geographic data indicates the

virus also strikes disproportionately in lower-income locales, especially those heavily populated by farmworkers. So the coronavirus plainly hits minorities with low incomes harder than whites, especially those in the most affluent areas. Which means that the more protesters, partiers, beachgoers and others disregard tactics known to stem viral contagion, the more they promote racial inequality. But the inequities encouraged by the pandemic go much deeper than caseload and death statistics, revealing as those can be. It turns out COVID-19’s most lasting effect may be on education, where impacts may affect student performance and achievement for more than a decade. It’s a new form of segregation, based more on economic class than on race — but class lines often coincide with racial ones. The reasons for this stem from the vitally necessary decision to keep most public schools closed this fall, the bulk of what used to be classroom teaching now done

electronically via services like Zoom and Google Classroom. On the surface, this seems to treat rich and poor alike, every public school student seemingly subject to the same pluses and minuses from remote learning. Except that the wealthy can do something about it when their children’s Wi-Fi fails, while the poor often cannot. The wealthy are often able to stay home with their children during the pandemic, while a far higher proportion of the poor work in menial jobs now considered essential, from farmworkers to street cleaners.

o the likelihood of children having adult supervision while they learn via screens is far less among low-income minorities than among whites. Whether or not distance learning can be effective, there is no doubt that without adult supervision, children are more likely to wander away from screens or not to sign on at all. Even while they’re online, their attention wanders more if they are not supervised. The result inevitably will be that the rich get richer educations while the poor get poorer. Depending on how long this goes on, its effects could be lifelong. Other educational advantages are also manifesting from affluence during the pandemic. Besides the large percentage of the wealthy who opt out of public school

problems with online schooling by sending their kids to private schools, large numbers of public school parents have already begun setting up “pods” of up to 10 children, with several families combining to hire tutors at $40 per hour or more. Newspapers around the state report tutors and former schoolteachers who post notices of their availability are getting multiple calls from groups of parents seeking stable education for their children. Parents also are using social media to find like-minded others, the result being that those who can afford to kick in for better education are buying extra opportunities for their kids. That situation led former San Francisco Mayor and ex-state Assembly Speaker Willie Brown to observe the other day that the virus is leading to new forms of segregated education. He’s right, and so long as the virus endures, there’s little low-income parents can do about it. — Email Thomas Elias at tdelias@aol.com.

LETTERS When a community loots Looting is a return to the reality that there are no property rights intrinsic to or vested in a thing or a person, but they are instead reified by the community that respects, defines and suffers to tolerate those rights. So what happens when a community ceases to consent to or recognize those rights? When it finds the existence of those rights to be intolerable? When, by base need or moral philosophy, those rights must be repudiated? Is this looting? Or is it the repudiation of an unsustainable status quo by the community and a return to a more balanced and tolerable distribution of wealth? Bernie Goldsmith Davis

Endorsing Walsh for City Council I write to endorse Colin Walsh for Davis City Council District 2. I first met Colin when he was working on the campaign opposing Nishi 1.0. I was immediately impressed by his passion and dedication. He often worked late into the night and was concerned to get every detail right. Since then we’ve worked on a number of initiatives together, including the community blog Davisite.org, which fosters neighborly dialogue in Davis. Another example: Since last fall when the MRIC Mace curve business park project resurfaced to become ARC and then DISC, Colin has read thousands of pages of documents, attended Council and Commission meetings, asked hard questions, and made thoughtful suggestions, all on his own time as a citizen committed to good process and careful analysis. He raised concerns about the compressed timeline for community engagement and about the inadequate affordable housing proposed by the developers. His comments to the Open Space and Habitat Commission on the DISC business park were particularly helpful to me as a commissioner. He pointed out that the bat studies at the site were insufficient, an issue that might otherwise have been overlooked, and urged that the prime farmland at the site weigh heavily in any decision.

Rarely have I seen a council person with the combined level of involvement, compassion, intelligence, action and commitment as Lucas Frerichs has shown in his time on the council. He is the only council member to respond to a recent letter outlining a very serious local concern. He is in the field getting personal information about issues.
