Back to school DAS classes filling up online BY JEFF HUDSON Enterprise staff writer The fall courses at the Davis Adult and Community Education School are starting on Sept. 28, and there is still time to sign up for a wide variety of classes. Community-interest classes cover topics that range from getting more out of your personal computer, digital photography, fitness, woodworking, cooking, auto mechanics and more. Also available are the alwayspopular classes in topics like English as a Second Language, Parent Support for Child Academic Success, New World of Work Employability Skills, and
a course for Parents of Students Who Are English Learners (and how a parent can provide support to a child who is an English learner). And there are courses for students who want to become a Certified Nursing Assistant. There are also classes for adults who want to complete the requirements for a high school diploma or a GED. This fall, there is one significant change in the Adult School’s operations — most classes are being offered online, owing to concerns about the coronavirus pandemic. Thus far, adult school students seem to be adjusting to the format change — mostly because they really want to take the classes. “We worried that some students would feel challenged by the distance learning format,” said adult
school principal Grace Sauser. “But we’ve found that many students benefit from distance learning.” “I think the online learning format seems to attract more younger students,” Sauser added, “because our younger students are ‘digital natives’ who grew up surrounded by technology.” Sauser said that a goodly number of students seeking to complete their high school
diploma requirements come from Davis, but there are also students in the program that come from Winters and Dixon, which don’t offer an adult school program. “Adult school students don’t have to live in Davis to sign up for our courses,” she said. “And enrollment in the high school diploma program is up this fall,” she said. She figures

Yolo County hires Sisson as health officer BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer Just two weeks after she resigned as Placer County’s health officer following that county’s termination of its COVID-19 health emergency, Dr. Aimee Sisson has been hired as Yolo County’s new health officer. Sisson fills the position vacated by Dr. Ron Chapman’s retirement earlier this summer. The Board of Supervisors is expected to appoint Sisson public health officer on Sept. 29 and she will assume office on Oct. 26.
VOL. 123 NO. 116
Dr. Larissa May continues to serve as the county’s interim health officer. Sisson said Wednesday she SISSON is “honored to Busy time be given this during COVID opportunity to protect and promote the health of all people living in Yolo County. “Being a local health officer is challenging during a pandemic, but this is what I have trained for,” she said. “I look forward to using my skills to keep the
community healthy, whether the threat is COVID-19, obesity, mental illness, wildfire smoke or poverty.” Sisson, who spent the last seven months leading Placer County’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, has a number of ties to Yolo County. She is a graduate of UC Davis and serves as assistant professor on the volunteer clinical faculty where she teaches graduate students public health, according to a county press release issued Wednesday morning. Sisson has also previously run a small urban farm in West Sacramento.

Some of the Davis community’s most vulnerable homeless people will have overnight shelter this winter following City Council action on Tuesday. The council unanimously approved plans to lease up to 25 apartment units for six months to house up to 40 of the most vulnerable members of the local homeless population, starting with those over age 65 or with an underlying health condition that puts them at greater risk. The cost will be covered by federal CARES Act funding required to be used to support low-income individuals suffering the impacts of COVID19. For the past 13 years, the Interfaith Rotating Winter Shelter has provided that service but is unable to do so this winter, given the pandemic. Housing dozens of people overnight in church halls and meetings rooms is no longer safe in the COVID-19 era. But the pandemic has also resulted

Leaf-blower ban runs out of gas BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY Enterprise staff writer
Prior to joining Placer County’s public health department in 2019, Sisson served as public health medical officer at the California Department of Public Health for over 10 years. In that role, she directed the department’s Preventive Medicine Residency Program and the California Epidemiologic
A week after asking city staff to bring back an urgency ordinance temporarily banning the use of leaf blowers, the Davis City Council could not reach a consensus Tuesday night and took no action on the proposal. Instead, City Manager Mike Webb will be left with his existing authority to declare an emergency when air quality is poor, banning the use of leaf blowers for the duration. Such a declaration, when made, would take effect immediately and would have to be ratified by the council at their next meeting. The city would then have to issue an alert similar to a “Don’t Light Tonight” message letting residents

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2020
I’m on the right side of the lawsuit Y S ou know it’s a good day when the first line of an unsolicited letter from someone you do not know begins with the words “You are not being sued.� Somehow, those words made it sound as if maybe I was about to be sued. As in, “you are not being sued now,� but you might be sued if you don’t pay up immediately. “On June 10, 2020,� the letter goes on, “the Honorable Edward J. Davila of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, granted preliminary approval of this class action Settlement and directed the litigants to provide this notice about the Settlement.� A couple of things here. First, I don’t understand the comma after “California� and before “granted.� Unnecessary and a complete waste of ink. Slows the whole thing down. Also, “settlement� does not need to be capitalized unless it’s someone’s name, which it does not appear to be. “You have received this notice because Google’s records indicate
the “9:00 am.� As we all learned in kindergarten, “a.m.� is a breakfast term that means “after muffins.� As such, it requires a period after both the “a� and the “m�.
that you may be a Settlement Class Member, and may be eligible to receive a payment from the Settlement.� Hey, if you just give me 10 bucks for every phantom comma and unnecessary capital letter, I’ll be happy as a clam on Seaside beach. The Final Approval Hearing on the adequacy, reasonableness, and fairness of the Settlement will be held at 9:00 am on November 19, 2020 in San Jose Courthouse, Courtroom 4, 5th Floor located at 280 South 1st Street, San Jose, CA 95113.� That is quite an address. Wonder if it all fits on Judge Davila’s business card. The only problem here is with
ince the double-zero in 9:00 is redundant and serves no meaningful function, the easy fix here is to drop the double zero and use both dots in the colon as periods after “a� and “m.� Problem solved and ink saved once again. “You are not required to attend the Final Approval Hearing, but you are welcome to do so at your own expense.� Just as long as I’m not being sued, I’ll be there. “Google operated the Google+ social media platform for consumers from June 2011 to April 2019. In 2018, Google announced that the Google+ platform had experienced software bugs between 2015 and 2018, which allowed app developers to access certain Google+ profile field information in an unintended manner.� Sounds like someone is about to be sued, even if it’s not me.
“Plaintiffs Matthew Matic, Zak Harris, Charles Olson and Eileen M. Pinkowski thereafter filed this lawsuit asserting various legal claims on behalf of a putative class of Google+ users who were allegedly harmed by the software bugs (‘Class’).� What do you know, I think I went to fourth grade with those folks. Matt, Zak, Charlie, Pinky, how you guys been? Boy do we have a lot of catching up to do. But here comes the good part. “Under the Settlement, Google will pay $7.5 million.� Honey, our ship has come in. Look up the address of the nearest Maserati dealer and ask them if they take cash. Wait a minute, there’s a little bit of fine print here. “Class Members (that’s me and Matt and Zak and the rest of the gang) who submit a Valid Claim may receive a pro rata share of the Net Settlement Fund up to a cash payment of $12.� Not sure if that will quite cover a Maserati, but if not, I’ll sue. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenterprise.net.
Biberstein Fund grants available to local nonprofits Special to The Enterprise Nonprofit organizations are invited to submit applications to the Biberstein Social Action Fund for grants in support of projects addressing poverty, discrimination, abuse and neglect in Yolo County. The fund was established in 2002 by the Board of Directors of Congregation Bet Haverim, Jewish Fellowship of Davis, to honor
Ernie and Hannah Biberstein, who are among the founding members of the synagogue and who devoted much of their lives to community service and social justice. Hannah passed away in April 2011. The goal of the grant is to help groups in their efforts to meet unfulfilled needs. “In light of all the budget cuts in social services, we hope that grants like ours
can make a difference,� Hannah Biberstein had said. “It means a lot to us that real individuals benefit from our grants.� Special consideration is given to new or innovative projects. Grants ranging from $500 to $2,000 are awarded each November. A committee of Bet Haverimcongregants’ reviews applications. Current Biberstein Fund committee members
are Ernie Biberstein, Anne Gieseke, Amy Abramson, Sandy Jones, Joan Sublett, and Shoshana Zatz. Information about the Biberstein Award, including a link to the application, is available on the CBH website: https://www. bethaverim.org/engage/ committees/bibersteinsocial-action-fund. Grant proposals are due Oct. 9. Questions may be
directed to cbhbiberstein fund@gmail.com. “We are looking forward to the annual distribution of these funds for good works in Yolo County,� Ernie Biberstein said. Contributions to the fund may be made through Congregation Bet Haverim, 1715 Anderson Road, Davis, 95616. Note that the donation is for the Biberstein Social Action Fund.

HOMELESS: City Council backs designated camping site From Page A1
“If there’s nowhere for folks to camp, then everywhere is a possible campsite. It’s already in our neighborhoods.”
where people can be directed. “If we have a designated spot for people to camp and there was availability, certainly those people who are living in areas that we deem to be more unsafe than others, we can actually order them to vacate the places that are unsafe, especially if there’s really unsanitary conditions that are a health problem,” Police Chief Darren Pytel told the council. “Many of the current campsites really meet that definition because there’s no adequate toilet facilities and water, there’s a lot of debris and garbage and human waste that makes the area unsanitary,” Pytel added.
in a higher-than-usual vacancy rate in the Davis rental market, thanks to thousands of UC Davis students remaining at home for the fall quarter while classes are conducted remotely. “Right now, with UC Davis mostly virtual, there are many apartments that sit empty,” Kelly Stachowicz, assistant city manager, told the City Council on Tuesday. In addition to covering the cost of leasing those apartments, the city’s CARES Act funding will also cover the cost of health services provided to participants by CommuniCare Health Centers. Not everyone in the homeless community has traditionally taken advantage of the rotating winter shelter, however; many continue to camp outdoors regardless of the weather. Makeshift campsites with and without tents have been seen throughout the city. “There’s no one specific part of town that is unfamiliar with folks setting up camp, sometimes for just a couple of nights; sometimes for a much longer period of time,” said Stachowicz. These “de facto camp sites,” said Stachowicz, “don’t address basic hygiene needs and certainly can be frustrating to businesses and other residents.” Thus the council on Tuesday discussed and ultimately voiced support for a designated camping site in town, one with trash containers, toilets and potable water,
Will Arnold Davis City Council
Keeping order
Arnold cited the number of programs and developments either available now or in the works, from the daytime respite center to actual housing being built, and said a designated camping spot with a minimum amount of hygiene available “is the next piece of the puzzle that we don’t currently have in Davis
Pushback? Setting up such a designated camping site will likely face some pushback, however, given it will have to be located somewhere in town. As was seen with the selection of a daytime respite center location earlier this year, there will be Davis residents who don’t want it in their part of town. Councilman Will Arnold suggested more than one designated camping site, “so not one single area of town is more affected than another.” But other council members questioned whether that would stretch city resources too thin. However, all council members agreed on a need for a designated camping site as yet another option within the community for ameliorating the impacts of homelessness.

There should be some behavior constraints, similar to what the Interfaith Rotating Winter Shelter has, in terms of guidelines and expectations for behavior, said Lee. And there also should be security on site, he said, not just for the sake of neighbors, but also so that “the people who go there willingly ... feel safe and secure about their own safety as well as their belongings. “I think, though, it is really essential that we do have a place that we can direct people to,” said Lee. “I don’t think people, by choice, really choose to live in a gully which becomes a mud pit when the rains come. I don’t think by choice they choose a location where they have to walk a quarter of a mile to go get drinking water. In offering something that is safe and secure and just has the basic amenities, people will naturally prefer to be in that location.” “We should move forward with this as quickly as possible so this
“Because if there’s nowhere for folks to camp, then everywhere is a possible campsite,” Arnold noted. “It’s already in our neighborhoods. It’s already in my neighborhood. It’s already in neighborhoods throughout the city. There’s folks camping all over town. The only difference is there’s no accounting for what’s going on ... It could be unsafe … because it’s in a ditch somewhere. This is a better solution to that.” He also favored allowing vehicles and trailers to be brought to the camping site, saying “there would need to be some sort of a bar set for how that is allowed it

couldn’t just be a free for all… but if someone is living in a trailer and they are literally just looking for a place on the earth where they can park, I see that as reasonable.” Councilman Brett Lee also noted that people are camping throughout town now and said, “let’s create a safe and secure and healthy environment for them to do so."

Frerichs said he preferred a single location so resources aren’t stretched thin at multiple camp sites and said, “key for me, regarding the safety of users, the safety of staffing, for the public and potential volunteers … is some sort of basic sets of rules around cleanliness, trash and garbage, basic levels of sanitation…” Summing up the council’s thoughts for city staff, Mayor Gloria Partida said, “I think most of us are on the same page about having one location and I’m going to agree with that because if we want to get this going as soon as possible, we do need to start off small. “What I am envisioning,” said Partida, “is we have this location where people can camp and have access to potable water and porta-potties and they then can access the respite center where they can be connected with services and laundry facilities and showers and things like that that they might need.” City staff will return to council with possible locations for a designated camping site. — Reach Anne TernusBellamy at aternus@davisenter prise.net.

Anti-maskers, anti-vaxxers ... anti-evidence
T
he headline back on June 12 was threatening: “A revolt against masks creates new risk,” warned one newspaper atop a wire service story about mass resistance in California to helping stave off the coronavirus pandemic by wearing masks indoors and in crowded outdoor spaces. That story was prophetic: Just two weeks later, the state began piling up its highest numbers ever for COVID-19 cases and deaths. It was a simple case of cause and effect, separated by the virus’ approximate two-week incubation period. Even renewed runs on funeral homes, hospital beds and space in intensive care units didn’t quell the revolt. In a parallel phenomenon, Louisiana, which refuses firmly to adopt masking rules, has the nation’s highest percapita coronavirus rate, 70 percent above California’s. It’s natural for people
and even states to resist masking when the president of the United States first called the coronavirus a hoax and later said it would simply disappear. And then, still later, admitted he lied about it, claiming he did so to prevent panic. Meanwhile, he also precluded a quick national response. This should surprise no one, when that same president has become a parody of the old parable about the boy who cried wolf. Donald Trump has cast himself as the man who cries “hoax” upon encountering anything he dislikes. Because he’s the president, many Americans continue believing him,
LETTERS Ethical leadership Linda Deos acts congruently with her highly ethical values and deep caring for all others. Linda Deos is honest with everyone and works collaboratively with them. She seeks out information, listens carefully and then acts in the best interests of those she represents. As a consumer-protection attorney, Linda has always advocated for the vulnerable. She supports efforts to address the needs of the entire community, especially children and families. Linda realizes that jobs, as well as affordable and sufficient housing, build the base of a strong community. She supports smart growth. She realizes that the impacts on agriculture and the environment must be carefully considered in any decision. Linda is fiscally responsible. She is transparent with everyone. She is dependable. She says what she thinks. She does what she says. I have found her to be a highly ethical person — which is something we need in our politics today. I came to Davis in 1981 to serve the entire Davis community as its high school principal. I care deeply about our town. More than ever, we need the thoughtful ethics, caring and voice of Linda Deos. Please vote Linda Deos for the 4th District seat, Yolo County Board of Supervisors. David J. Murphy Davis
A voice for South Davis Since moving to South Davis in 2000, I have not only been part of the larger Davis community but as a resident of this area, I have experienced some of the unique challenges for what is now District 5. It’s my commitment to Davis and South Davis that inspired me to join Rochelle Swanson’s team as her campaign manager. Not only does Rochelle know Davis, she knows South Davis. Rochelle first made South Davis home in 1993, and it is where she largely raised her three boys. Her children attended the local schools, and she lives in the home she purchased in the early 2000s. Her many years in this part of town give her a deep understanding of District 5 in terms of our opportunities and challenges because, historically, we’ve been treated differently from other areas of town. Rochelle’s earlier experience serving as an at-large member of
despite admitted lies and many others he doesn’t cop to. It’s almost as if the antivaccination movement has taken over part of the national psyche and California’s. There is strong evidence that the best ways to stave off new infections are wearing masks, washing hands often and keeping at least 6 feet away from people not sheltering with you. But when county health officers impose masking rules, they meet resistance to the point of death threats. Intimidation caused the former health officer of Orange County, for one, to resign, believing she and her family were endangered. Even as deaths pile up, resisters contend masks don’t help, or that the disease itself is phony. Why shouldn’t they spout such claptrap when the president has done it? These tactics ape what the anti-vaccination
the Davis City Council provides her with particular insight on the lack of voice of this part of town. District 5, which includes South Davis and the Olive Drive corridor, is a strong revenue generator for the rest of the city, and yet many residents feel that our needs are overlooked. It’s not just the Mace Boulevard fiasco, Pacifico, the South Davis Library and Learning Center project. Residents are rightly upset that despite all the revenue generated here, we don’t even have a community meeting place. Where can we gather beyond bumping into neighbors at Safeway or Nugget? Rochelle raised concerns about where the finances were for the South Davis Library Learning Center, back then it was called the Community Center. I am grateful Rochelle agreed to run again and, now, this time to serve District 5. I’m one of many who personally asked Rochelle to consider putting her hat in this very important race. I know she has compassion for South Davis and will do all she can to make sure District 5 gets a voice at the table.

Vote No on Measure B Measure B is a “yes” or “no” voter decision on a proposal to develop an over-200-acre industrial park off of Mace Boulevard north of Ikeda’s. The proposal includes housing, and annexation into the city of Davis, which would supply its services. Currently, this acreage is open-space in the county, surrounded by orchards, with a view of the Sacramento skyline many have enjoyed for years. To proceed, the proposal will need approval of Davis voters on Nov. 3. Importantly, the statemandated environmental report confirms that daily traffic in the Mace area will increase by over 24,000 vehicles “during a typical week day” as a direct result of this proposed project. You may be aware that there is a current and ongoing “Mace Mess” matter that has made an already imperfect traffic situation much worse for those using the Mace Boulevard corridor today. Twenty-four thousand more vehicles using Mace a day, and years of construction, plus a history of bad traffic planning by the City, does not bode well for our future. Please investigate this Measure B proposal for yourselves. I would

movement has done to opponents for years, including a street attack on the author of a state law tightening restrictions on inoculation exemptions for schoolchildren. Anti-vaxxers now signal that whenever a COVID19 vaccine appears, they will try to discourage the public from using it.

t’s part of a “me first” philosophy putting public welfare behind personal convenience. Yes, the anti-vaxx movement consistently promotes disproven claims about vaccine side effects, and will surely do the same when a coronavirus preventive appears. The essence of the movement is that any individual’s preference trumps the public interest. If it’s
vote no if I were able. County residents will not have a chance to vote on the wisdom or value or planning of this project even though its traffic impacts will affect us directly. The proposal was put on the ballot without first addressing the outdated Davis general plan, which reflects conditions that existed 20 years ago. In my opinion, any such project should not be given serious consideration until current, well thought out, citizen-approved planning for Davis’ future has taken place. Otherwise, it’s patch, patch, patch with disjointed results that can adversely affect us all. Please vote no on Measure B on Nov. 3. Thank you for your consideration. Landon Scarlett El Macero
Mom supports Escamilla-Greenwald As a mother of children who attend public school in DJUSD, I’m voting for Cecilia EscamillaGreenwald for school board. Like me, Cecilia believes strongly in our public education system. That’s why all her children, like mine, also attend public schools here in Davis. She’s the only candidate to be endorsed by the Yolo County Democratic Party. And she has shown a lifetime of dedication to public service, including advocating for public education, English-language learners, foster children and students with special needs. It’s no wonder she’s endorsed by former State Superintendent of Public Instruction Delaine
inconvenient for me to inoculate my child against smallpox and polio, this element says the child should be exempt. That amounts to child abuse, exposing youngsters to serious and deadly diseases. Activists also say “don’t tell me what to do.” Yet, the same folks stop for red lights, wear clothing and put up with other common infringements on absolute personal liberty. Maybe it’s somehow a right for parents to expose their kids to diseases that could kill them or, with ailments like measles or mumps, impair them for life. But it’s patently absurd for parents to claim the right to expose other people’s children. Similarly, it might be individuals’ right to expose themselves to COVID-19 by not wearing masks indoors, but when huge numbers of cases have been transmitted personto-person by unknowing, undetected carriers, the

A home-grown leader I wholeheartedly support Will Arnold for a second term on the City Council. Will’s leadership in his first term has represented us well. Will knows the ropes; he has the experience to guide us forward in a second term. In the face of the challenges ahead, Will brings stability and resilience. As a native Davisite, Will grew up with our values. Although we face a great deal of uncertainty, Will has faith in our community and himself to learn and adapt to address our issues with perseverance, resilience and innovation. He has always sought to define our policies by the values we share. We, as a nation, and, as a community, are in an historic moment. Will stands ready to reaffirm our conviction that a person is not defined by gender, color/ethnicity, economics or disability. Will is a person of integrity and compassion. He brings just what we need to our City Council. COVID-19 has brought us new and urgent challenges. The fires that have raged throughout California have reminded us of the urgency of addressing Climate Change. Even though we are just

rights of those who might be infected take precedence. Meanwhile, the claim that the coronavirus plague is a hoax has not died since anti-vaxxers began shouting it last spring at rallies against shutdown orders. It’s been picked up by the many more folks who are reluctant to wear masks and by people who claim — without evidence — that masks prevent them from breathing well.

Prop. 19 is critical As the wildfires grow with greater intensity across Northern California, many people have had to pack what they need and leave their homes behind as evacuation orders spread. When they return, some have witnessed their home and entire community left devastated. Proposition 19 will provide housing relief for those who’ve sadly lost their homes to wildfire by limiting property-tax increases on a replacement home anywhere in California. Prop. 19 will also provide hundreds of millions of dollars in annual funding for fire protection, local government, and school districts. Prop. 19 will be critical to combatting California’s ever-intensifying wildfire seasons and helping our communities recover from the pandemic. Cory Gold Davis

Woodland man completes Addiction Intervention Court Special to The Enterprise Yolo County's Addiction Intervention Court celebrated another success story Thursday with the graduation of Woodland resident Jordan Spears via a Zoom ceremony. When the COVID-19 crisis hit, all AIC court appearances were canceled to avoid further spread of the virus. In early April, Yolo County’s justice partners rebooted Mental Health Court (MHC) and AIC by having its first informal “Zoom court” where participants met with team members and judges through videoconferencing. In preparation, the treatment team contacted participants and helped them learn how to use Zoom. On Thursday, the MHC team held its first-ever live, virtual informal court hearing in Dept. 14 before Yolo
Superior Court Judge David Rosenberg. The first AIC informal Zoom court occurred on April 16. Addiction Intervention Court (AIC) is a specialty court program that serves up to 20 individuals who struggle with substanceuse disorders and are involved in the criminal justice system as a result of their addictions. The program is a collaborative effort between the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office, Yolo Superior Court, Public Defender, Probation Department and Health and Human Services Agency. The program provides intensive support services and supervision aimed at increasing a participant’s overall quality of life while reducing recidivism. Spears was arrested by a Yolo County sheriff ’s deputy on Feb. 11, 2018, for
driving a stolen vehicle, possession of burglary tools and possession of drug paraphernalia. A transient living in Woodland, Spears had numerous prior convictions for drug-related crimes and admitted to using methamphetamine on a regular basis. He reported that he had never participated in formal substance abuse treatment and he expressed a desire to stop using drugs and narcotics and to engage in treatment to assist him with that goal. Spears was referred to the AIC team for assessment. The team believed he had a substance-use disorder and his present and past crimes were driven by his drug addiction. The team found him suitable for AIC and his first appearance in the specialty court was April 16, 2018. Initially, Spears had
difficulty with the program, at one point walking away from a residential treatment facility. After writing a letter asking for one more chance, he continued in AIC. He engaged with the Day Reporting Center at the Yolo County Jail and got glowing reviews, also receiving services from CommuniCare for his substance-use disorder. In April 2019, Spears started work at a Denny’s restaurant and was able to purchase a car and auto insurance in the fall of 2019. Spears continued to do well in AIC, including during the pandemic. Health and Human Services Forensic Case Manager Amanda Navaez was the first to congratulate Spears. “You have come such a long way. You stayed clean, got a job and a car. You gave it your all,” she said. Next, Deputy Public
the graduation, the team had pizza and cake delivered to Spears at his Woodland home. Spears also will participate in the AIC alumni program, which allows graduates to stay involved and mentor others who are still in the program.
Defender Bret Bandley, who represents Spears, told Spears, “I’ve watched you grow so much in the 45 court appearances where I’ve been by your side.” Normally, MHC and AIC graduations conclude with cake and pizza. Just prior to

OBITUARIES Barbara ‘Sue’ Hartley
Parakrama de Alwis Gurusinghe
July 4, 1931 — Sept. 16, 2020
Barbara “Sue” Hartley, age 89, passed away peacefully at her daughter’s home on Wednesday, Sept. 16. Born Barbara Sue English on July 4, 1931, in Cincinnati, Ohio. She went to MacArthur High School (Ohio), where she met her future husband, Larry Ramsey Hartley. She graduated in 1949 as the valedictorian in her class and went on to attend The Ohio State University where she studied home economics. She and Larry married in 1952. Larry joined the Navy in 1953 and Sue and Larry moved to wherever he was stationed, first in Corpus Christi, Texas, and then finally to San Diego, where, in 1961, their first daughter, Julie Ann, was born, and in 1962, their second daughter, Cindy Sue. The family moved around the Los Angeles area before settling in La Canada. Sue remained a mom, wife and homemaker during these years, nurturing her girls with love and laughter. She was involved in Girl Scouts as a troop leader and assistant leader for both of the girls. When she was not chauffeuring the girls to music lessons and ballet, she kept busy with the PTA and the local Methodist church. Family vacations were spent on three-week tent-camping trips every summer, crisscrossing the western United States. Stories of these trips have been told and retold throughout the years and will go down in family history as “epic” adventures. In 1972, the family moved to San Ramon. It was there that her passion for horses was reignited and passed onto her girls. The family purchased several horses during their time there, and most family outings for years to come were spent on horseback on trails or in show arenas. In 1974, Sue and Larry purchased the Western Auto Store on G Street in Davis.
May 17, 1947 — Sept. 19, 2020
Soon thereafter, family and critters made their move to their new home. In 1976, Sue and Larry divorced and closed the store. Sue then started her 35-plus-year career as an escrow officer, working at Ticor/North American Title, Young Mortgage and First American Title. She is remember as being “one of the best escrow officers in town” and for “her laughter and sparkle in her eyes.” During her retirement, she took numerus trips to Bodega Bay with her daughter Cindy and her grandson Troy Birdeau. She also enjoyed “road trips” with her daughter Julie throughout Northern California. She is preceded in death by her parents, James “Clyde” and Margorie Lillian (Culberson) English, and daughter Cindy Hartley. Sue is survived by her brother, Keith McMurray, daughter, Julie (Hartley) Brinley, grandson and wife Troy and Michelle (Dutra) Birdeau, great-grandchildren Troy Jr. and Madalynn Sue, the many “Brinley Kids” that she loved as grandchildren and great-grandchildren, her special “daughters of the heart” Mary Scoonover, Lisa de Lalla, Lisa (Gonzales) Richards and Maria Thomas, special family friend John Day and former son-in-law John K. Brinley. Those who would like to pay their respects may join the family from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25, at Smith’s Funeral Home, 116 D St. in Davis for a circulated visitation. Face masks are required. Sadly, please refrain from hugging, kissing and shaking hands during the visitation. In remembrance, Sue asked that donations be made to the Yolo County SPCA, P.O. Box 510, Davis, CA 95617 Cheers to a life well lived, Sue! We will miss your smile, the sparkle in your eyes, your wit and laughter!

Parakrama “Gura” de Alwis Gurusinghe, Ph.D, died at UC Davis Medical Center on Sept. 19 from a blood infection at the age of 73. Born in Sri Lanka, Gura moved to Davis in 1981 to complete a doctoral degree in population genetics at UC Davis. In 1984, he returned to Sri Lanka, but in 1990, immigrated back to Davis and eventually became a naturalized citizen. He lived in Davis with his wife until his death. He is survived by his wife Sunitha Gurusinghe, Ph.D., three daughters Chamindra G. Konersman, M.D., Dumindra Gurusinghe, M.D., and Nilendra Gurusinghe, and grandson Volant Gurusinghe Laverty. Gura was educated at the University of Peradeniya in Sri Lanka. In 1978, he developed a method for rapid multiplication of black pepper crops, which is still widely used in commercial planting. Next, he worked at UC Davis under the plant
pathology department and then as an environmental scientist for the department of pesticide regulation until his retirement in 2014. He was a friend, mentor and community leader to many in both Sri Lanka and in the Davis/Sacramento community. Though a prolific athlete in his youth, he devoted his adult life to the sciences, particularly agriculture and the environmental sciences. He was also a practicing Buddhist. Above all, he was a loving husband, father and grandfather. In keeping with his wishes, Gura’s body was donated to the UCD School of Medicine upon his death. In lieu of flowers or gifts, the family has requested supporting Gura’s legacy with a memorial donation to a charity of your choice. The family will not be holding a live memorial but encourages family and friends to leave a memorial message online at https://www.forevermissed.com/ parakrama-dealwis-gurusinghe/.
Marilyn Lee Vaughn Feb. 8, 1935 — Sept. 22, 2020
Marilyn Lee Vaughn passed away very peacefully at Gloria’s Country Care in Woodland. After being diagnosed with congestive heart failure and pneumonia (old age), Marilyn spent a couple of days in hospice care at Gloria’s, being visited by grandchildren and listening to her son read “Chicken Soup for the Soul.” She was born Marilyn Lee High to Lee Marie (Cottle) and Julias Edward High on Feb. 8, 1935, in Tulsa, Okla. Her mother died when Marilyn was 13 of leukemia. She was then adopted by her aunt, Velma (Cottle) and uncle, Ben Musick, in Kingfisher Okla. Marilyn attended Oklahoma University where she got her nursing degree. She worked as a registered nurse until she left her profession to raise her children, Audrey, Ben and Joe. She and her husband Neil Vaughn moved to Davis in 1961 with then-young Audrey and Ben. Joe came along in 1967 to the boisterous, bed-jumping response of
Audrey and Ben. Neil became a well-loved doctor to the small town of Davis and UC Davis students. Marilyn, progeny and community were robbed by his premature death in 1985. Marilyn remained “married” to Neil for the rest of her life. She was active in a variety of local and national organizations and spent the last half of her life as “Gramme” to Ben’s three kids, Jamaica, Hannah and Neil and Joe’s son, Michael. Marilyn was an integral part of an aging generation of Davisites which, now with her passing, is growing quite small. A private graveside service will be held at Davis Cemetery. Those that wish to sign an online guest book may do so at www.smith-funerals.com. The family asks that, instead of flowers, donations be made to STEAC or a charity of your choice.
Judith Simpson Schreider Oct. 17, 1939 — Sept. 11, 2020
Judith Schreider died in peace at home in the presence of her loving husband (Jay), sweet dog (Cayenne), and caregiver (Lisa Perrin) after a lifetime struggle with type 1 diabetes. She was born Judith Leone Speer on Oct. 17, 1939, in Glendale to George Robert Speer and Dorothy Elizabeth Dryden. Dorothy later married Robert Galusha, a kind man to whom Judith became very close. Judith grew up in Southern California and was an excellent student at Valencia High School in Fullerton. She was an avid reader and enthusiastic learner, practices she maintained throughout her life. She entered the University of Oregon in 1958 and joined Kappa Alpha Theta sorority where she formed lifelong friendships (she was active in founding a chapter at UC Davis). Judith met and was engaged to her future husband, George Simpson. Unfortunately, she had to leave the university due to a family disruption. She returned to Fullerton, married George in 1960 and moved to Hillsborough. George and Judith had two daughters: Suzanne Elizabeth followed by Catherine Elizabeth (Judith loved the name Elizabeth). Judith further developed her volunteering habits that continued throughout her life. George and Judith divorced in 1968 and Judith completed her undergraduate studies at California State University, Hayward. Hayward. Subsequently, Judith, Sue and Cathy moved to Davis in 1970 where Judith began her graduate work in biological anthropology. As part of her fieldwork, Judith and her daughters were set to spend a year in the jungles of Venezuela studying
primate interactions. However, a medical examination in preparation for the trip uncovered her late-onset type 1 diabetes. In addition to disrupting her studies, this started her life of health struggles. Yet she persisted — as she did throughout her life. Her field of research shifted to perinatal biology and non-human primate reproduction at the California Primate Research Center and she received her doctorate degree in 1976. Judith continued with postdoctoral work in perinatal biology from 1976 to 1979, lectured, and consulted for six years on primate reproduction with the Letterman Army Institute of Research. Judith always enjoyed working with college students, even as a graduate student and post-doc. Mentoring college students turned out to be her niche and love in the academic world. In 1978 Judith was encouraged by Chancellor James Meyer’s office to apply for a new position in the Health Sciences Advising Office (HSAO). Chancellor Meyer had a goal to raise the UC Davis reputation as a premier school for students interested in maximizing their opportunity for admission to graduate and health professional schools. They wanted to have a Ph.D. level science individual so that would be accepted by deans and directors of admissions at health professional schools and also have a knowledge of UC Davis and a history of working with students. Judith was perfect for the job and became the director of HSAO and chair of the PreHealth Professions Advisory Committee, positions she held until her retirement in
1993. During her tenure, she also served on various committees of the Association of Medical Colleges and the National Association of Advisors for Health Professions. Although officially retired in 1993, she remained as chairman, PHPAC until the doors on the program closed. She was not paid but truly cherished continuing to work with the students, conducting interviews in her home, and receiving calls from them and admissions officials at all hours. Even after the program closed, students would call asking for advice. This is also reflected in her advising of members of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority at UCD and the over 25 years of activities as the alumni liaison with the Prytanean Women’s Honor Society. Judith’s activities included volunteer work for Assemblyman John Vasconcellos and Congressman Vic Fazio. She also served on the board of directors of a local nonprofit organization, where she met her future husband, Jay Schreider, who was also on the board. Their relationship flourished and they were married on May 21, 1993, with their dog (Pepper) serving as a flower girl. An activity Judith began concurrent with her position with the PHPAC was preparing Christmas pumpkin bread and fudge for the members of the committee, delivered to their homes. Over the years, the delivery list expanded to include the neighbors around her house. Judith and Jay had a kind and nurturing marriage and supported each other’s myriad different activities and interests. Their greatest joys came with the marriage of Cathy to
Thomas Copenhaver and the birth of their children, John Robert and James Phillip. Judith was referred to as “Gram.” Judith cherished watching digital pictures of John and James until the time of her death. Another of Judith’s joys was watching “her students” as they completed their studies and had successful careers in the various health professions. Many of her students have maintained contact with Judith over the years and her face lit the room when they called or visited her. Almost to a person, they expressed their love and gratitude for her nurturing and mentoring. Judith had a profound sense of fairness and kindness; enthusiasm for science, reading, and education; and deep empathy for the less fortunate. Her intelligence, smile and enthusiasm will be missed. It was Jay’s greatest honor and joy to care for Judith. Judith is survived by her loving husband Jay, dog Cayenne, daughters Suzanne Swanson and Catherine Copenhaver, grandchildren John Robert and James Phillip Copenhaver, brothers Robert Galusha and David Galusha, sister Donna Graden, and nieces Laura Gordon, Margaret Braun, Meghan Galusha, and Katelin Moore. She was preceded in death by her dear dogs, Pepper and Chili. Following Judith’s wishes, there will be no formal services or memorial. She also expressed her hope that people would vote. Anyone who knew Judith’s heart knows how she would have voted in the upcoming election. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Yolo Hospice or Yolo Food Bank.

Investigation Service Fellowship Program, overseeing the training of future public health leaders. “She engaged regularly with local health officers and epidemiologists, individually and through statewide organizations,” according to the county. While at CDPH, Sisson led a mental health disparities project, helped to start the interagency Health in All Policies Task Force, and raised awareness of public health impacts from climate change. “Dr. Sisson is excited to work on Health in All Policies once more in Yolo County, whose 5-year Strategic Plan addresses health equity with a Health in All Policies approach to governance,” the county press release said. Sisson is a physician and surgeon and earned her masters in public health in epidemiology from UC Davis. “Dr. Sisson’s unique qualifications and experience make her an ideal fit
for Yolo County,” said Supervisor Gary Sandy, chair of the Yolo County Board of Supervisors. “Her insights and expertise will be a great help in combatting COVID-19 and a range of other issues commonly associated with ag counties in California.” Sission resigned as Placer County’s top health officer on Sept. 8, the same day that county’s board of supervisors voted to declare it no longer considers COVID-19 an emergency. “It is with a heavy heart that I submit this letter of resignation,” Sisson wrote in her resignation letter. “Today’s action by the Placer County Board of Supervisors made it clear that I can no longer effectively serve in my role as Placer County Health Officer and Public Health Director.” Her resignation sparked more discussion across the state about the number of health officials in California who have quit or been forced out of office during the COVID-19 pandemic, often due to public vitriol and threats from those
objecting to everything from face-covering requirements to stay-at-home orders. Yolo County supervisors are well aware of what county health officers face. During a ceremony marking Chapman’s retirement in June, Sandy said, “they are vilified, they are threatened, they are bullied, all for trying to protect the public’s health. “The average person has no idea the pressure and the attacks that public health officers are under throughout the country right now.” And while some members of the public have voiced their opposition to many of Yolo County’s COVID-19 health orders, the Board of Supervisors appears to be in no rush to lift a local state of emergency. A majority of the board here have urged a go-slow approach to reopening businesses and other activities, particularly in the wake of a surge of cases that followed reopenings in late spring and early summer.

know not to use their blowers due to poor air quality and smoke related to wildfires. The council had been unanimous last Tuesday when they asked staff to return with an urgency ordinance aimed a reducing emissions and dust during a period when air quality from wildfires had been unhealthy for days on end. The ban on the use of all leaf blowers — electric and gas-powered — would have taken effect immediately and lasted until Oct. 31, subject to extension or early termination based on ongoing air quality readings, with an AQI of 100 being the benchmark city staff would consider. But since then, air quality in Davis has been quite good, prompting two council members — Will Arnold and Brett Lee — to have a change of heart this week. Arnold had expressed some reservations last week about banning leaf blowers but had voted in favor of asking staff to bring back a temporary ban. “The reason I was willing to consider this a week ago is because the emergency felt very acute,” said Arnold. “Today we have the best quality air in the whole world … So I find it hard to be in favor of an emergency declaration when the emergency itself … comes and goes. We ought to be more nimble. “(I)nstead of banning (leaf blowers) until a date that is more or less arbitrary,” he said, “I think something more akin to
DAVIS
CHAMBER
‘Don’t Light Tonight’ makes more sense. That’s something that I would be more inclined to support. It’s more attuned to what the air quality needs are.” Former mayor Brett Lee said he had come to the realization that “we approached what we did … incorrectly. “I believe, really, the direction we should move forward with is by allowing staff to declare an air quality emergency and certain things follow. “Rather than this idea that we’re banning leaf blowers, we’re giving staff the ability in a thoughtful manner to declare an air quality emergency,” he said. Lee put forward a motion to that effect — authorizing city staff to determine whether the city is experiencing an air quality event such that leaf blower activity should be temporarily halted until the city manager determines the air quality has recovered sufficiently. And while Arnold supported that motion, no one else did. Mayor Gloria Partida, Vice Mayor Lucas Frerichs and Councilman Dan Carson all said they preferred the original urgency ordinance brought forward by staff. Additionally, City Attorney Inder Khalsa indicated the motion was unnecessary, given the city manager already has authority under existing city ordinance to declare a local air quality emergency and include in that declaration a ban on certain activities. The idea of handling leaf blower use during poor air
quality days this way, rather than with an outright ban enacted by council, was previously discussed and one of the issues raised was in getting the message out to the community. Don’t Light Tonight orders are often issued, for example, but on some of those nights, the smell of woodsmoke in many neighborhoods is evident. “Frankly, I think there will be some struggles with messaging,” said Khalsa. “The advantage of the moratorium or the urgency ordinance was its clarity — it’s just prohibited unless it’s lifted.” Nonetheless, that is the direction the city will take for now. In voicing his support for that approach, Lee said, “My goal here is not to weaken our ability to protect the air quality. It’s just giving (city staff ) the ability to operate in closer-to-realtime assessment. “Hopefully we don’t have another big wildfire event,” said Lee, “but this idea that, ‘Oh, we had wildfires last year, therefore we could have them this year, so we better ban everything,’ that doesn’t seem to be a sensible approach.” Should Webb at some point declare an air quality emergency, city staff would then communicate to the community that they should not use leaf blowers and the City Council would have to ratify Webb’s declaration at their next meeting. If they don’t ratify the declaration, it would become ineffective, Khalsa said.

‘I’m Thinking of Ending Things’: Why did it begin? No sane studio exec could have financed this
‘I’m Thinking of Ending Things’ No stars Starring: Jessie Buckley, Jesse Plemons, Toni Collette, David Thewlis and Guy Boyd Rating: R, for profanity
BY DERRICK BANG Enterprise film critic 2017’s “Mother!” was the most boring, insufferably pretentious twaddle I’d seen in years. I figured a long, long time would pass before something similarly overblown arrived. Wrong. Writer/director Charlie Kaufman’s adaptation of novelist Iain Reid’s “I’m Thinking of Ending Things” — debuting on Netflix — actually is worse. For all its failings, “Mother!” is an obvious allegory that builds to a graspable conclusion. Kaufman’s film offers no such relief in its final act, which grows more aggressively obtuse by the minute. Indeed, he ignores the resolution in Reid’s similarly weird book — which at least partially justifies what has come before — in favor of more eye-rolling stuff ’n’ nonsense. Not 10 minutes into this unbearable 134-minute slog, a little voice in the back of your head will start screaming, “Abandon ship. Now.” Be smart. Pay attention to it. The frustrating thing is, Kaufman isn’t a talent to be ignored. (Sometimes.) His vivid imagination and defiantly non-linear storytelling style exploded with 1999’s “Being John Malkovich,” brought him an Oscar for 2002’s “Adaptation” and demonstrated sheer genius with 2004’s “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.” It should be noted, however, that those films found Kaufman working alongside equally outré directors — Spike Jonze and Michel Gondry — who knew how to check the screenwriter’s
MARY CYBULSKI/NETFLIX PHOTO
When Jake (Jesse Plemons, far left) brings his girlfriend (Jessie Buckley, standing) to meet his parents (Toni Collette and David Thewlis), their “friendly dinner” quickly turns increasingly peculiar. more ludicrous tendencies. When Kaufman directs his own material — as with 2008’s “Synecdoche, New York” and 2015’s “Anomalisa” — the results are unwatchable. As is the case here. Our protagonist and voiceover narrator is an unnamed young woman (Jessie Buckley) who, somewhat against her better judgment, agrees to a day trip to visit boyfriend Jake’s (Jesse Plemons) parents at their secluded farm. She’s been thinking of ending the relationship — she repeatedly informs us, as things proceed — out of, I dunno, boredom, dissatisfaction, whatever. She and Jake chat at length during this initial car trip, as they pass along the bleak and barren Oklahoma countryside. Their conversation rises from the depths of mundane banality to the heights of philosophical speculation. She’s a quantum physicist — or maybe she’s a poet — or
maybe she’s a student with a paper due Wednesday, on “Susceptibility to rabies infection in the sensory dorsal root ganglia neurons.” Their increasingly dreary nattering goes on … and on … and on … and on … for what feels like days (but is “only” 23 minutes). Cinematographer Lukasz Zal’s point of view never shifts throughout this increasingly pointless exchange: The lens stares straight at them, through the windshield, as if he’s perched on the car hood the entire time. (This could be A Clue. You won’t care.) Up to this point, things are merely boring. Once we reach Jake’s parent’s home, we slide into the aggressively strange. Mother (Toni Collette), who suffers from painful tinnitus, constantly giggles at her own terrible jokes, like somebody on a marijuana high. Father (David Thewlis), who appears benign, nonetheless invades
one’s space by leaning close-close-close. Mother serves a feast that could feed a squadron; the food remains untouched. Jake displays serious rage issues. One suspects Kaufman intends this atmospheric shift to be unsettling, perhaps even sinister. If so, he fails; it’s just bizarre and off-putting. Our heroine has trouble with the details of how she and Jake met. Is it memory loss — or is she making stuff up as she goes along? Jake and his parents begin to refer to her by different names; after a moment’s disorientation, she repeatedly accepts this and moves on. She wanders the house, discovers a typical family photo gallery and spots a picture that looks like a younger version of herself. As she moves from one room to another, Mother and Father age unexpectedly, then get much younger, then become infirm.
At about this point, we realize that Kaufman — much the way he eschewed linear narrative, in the past — is messing with point of view. We’ve been saddled with an unreliable narrator, which means nothing can be taken at face value. All this nonsense notwithstanding, Buckley deserves credit for gamely making this “young woman” — as she’s identified in the credits — reasonably sympathetic and somewhat compelling. But she cannot overcome Kaufman’s relentless eccentricity. Jake finally relents to her increasingly agitated desire to return home, and (oh, gawd, no!) we’re back in the car, watching them chat via that same framed windshield. Now it’s nighttime and snowing heavily, so we see even less of them. Let’s see … subsequent detours involve a stop at a Dairy Queen-esque ice cream parlor dubbed Tulsey Town, inexplicably
open in the dead of night and staffed by three odd young women, and Jake’s former high school, staffed by an elderly janitor (Guy Boyd) who we’ve watched cleaning the deserted hallways, during brief cutaway sequences throughout the entire film. As for the final sequence — it absolutely defies description, except that I’m pretty sure Rodgers and Hammerstein wouldn’t approve. By this point, Kaufman has completely violated the spirit of Reid’s book, which at least offers an explanation (which apparently did little to satisfy most readers who slogged through his 224 pages). Kaufman just spins into the stratosphere, defying us to think any less of his “ending.” I accept that challenge, Charlie: Your film is mindnumbing, self-indulgent rubbish. At its core, all the meandering aside, this is a 15-minute premise stretched way beyond its capacity to sustain interest. I kept thinking how a master fantasist — such as Richard Matheson, Roald Dahl or Charles Beaumont — could have made this a chilling, 15-page short story; and how, in turn, Rod Serling could have transformed it into a terrific 30-minute “Twilight Zone” entry. Kaufman, instead, merely wastes our time. — Read more of Derrick Bang’s film criticism at http://derrickbang. blogspot.com. Comment on this review at www. davisenterprise.com.
‘The Burnt Orange Heresy’ brings nothing but ash Laughably pretentious drama makes for an insufferable bore
‘The Burnt Orange Heresy’
BY DERRICK BANG
Starring: Claes Bang, Elizabeth Debicki, Donald Sutherland and Mick Jagger Rating: R, for profanity, nudity, sexual content, drug use and violence
Enterprise film critic Deliver us from filmmakers who cherish attitude and atmosphere over plot logic and credible characters. Director Giuseppe Capotondi’s “The Burnt Orange Heresy” — available via Amazon and other streaming services — drowns beneath pretentious monologues and arch behavior. It’s a confined four-hander: a tedious stage play with delusions of big-screen glory. Scripter Scott B. Smith makes absolute hash of celebrated crime writer Charles Willeford’s 1971 novel, pitting three condescending men — each an insufferable aristocratic sophisticate — against a lone woman who may as well have the word “victim” tattooed on her forehead. Indeed, it’s painful to watch an actress of Elizabeth Debicki’s talent play such a relentlessly stupid and blindly reckless character. If Capotondi wanted to emulate the gritty, neo-noir ambiance of Willeford’s prose — 1984’s “Miami Blues” remains a masterpiece of hard-boiled crime fiction — the director missed by a mile. Danish actor Claes Bang (no relation, I assure you) rapidly becomes tedious as arrogant art critic James Figueras: fallen from his profession’s grace, and reduced to lecturing witless tourists in Milan, in hopes of selling more copies of his book, “The Power of the Critic.” (Was there ever a more pompous title?) Not even five minutes into this film, you’ll seek escape. This particular day is different; James’ oft-repeated presentation concludes with the appearance of the coquettish Berenice Hollis (Debicki). She has sought him
COURTESY PHOTO
James (Claes Bang, left) and Berenice (Elizabeth Debicki) are initially awed to be in the presence of renowned art power-broker Joseph Cassidy (Mick Jagger) but they become more wary when their host explains exactly what he wants from them. out — for reasons Smith’s script never makes clear — and mutual lust slides them into bed. Cue a gratuitously explicit sex scene that suggests we’re in for an erotic thriller: a genre Capotondi never comes close to delivering. The affair feels doomed from the start, James far too consumed with himself to be anything approaching a desirable companion. But then, unexpectedly — rather unbelievably — she tags along when he’s invited to spend the weekend at the luxurious Lake Como villa of wealthy art power-broker Joseph Cassidy (Mick Jagger). James assumes that his scholarly wisdom is desired, but no such luck; Cassidy has something much more ambitious — and probably larcenous — in mind. His immediate neighbor is celebrated painter Jerome Debney
(Donald Sutherland), a selfimposed recluse following the long-ago loss of his life’s output, in a fire. He subsequently has achieved mythic status in the art world, fueled by the tantalizing notion that this “confounding J.D. Salinger of the canvas” still might be working. Precisely because nobody owns a Debney — his works having been destroyed before they could be galleried, and then sold — Cassidy. Must. Have. One. By any means necessary, but preferably if the silver-tongued James a) can verify whether Debney is, in fact, still painting; and b) then can finesse a work from him. At this point, the film settles into a series of obliquely calculated cat-and-mouse conversations, much to the amusement of Debney, far too smart to succumb to faux flattery; and the growing
frustration of James, getting nowhere; and the rapidly increasing exasperation of viewers still waiting (in vain) for something worthwhile to occur. All while Berenice, now also the object of Debney’s paternal attention, wanders about like a prized doe. We halfway expect one of the men to gift her with a collar. The third act eventually descends into rash conduct, as greed overpowers judgment; this much is expected, and in keeping with the naked avarice on display. But Debicki can’t come even close to handling what Smith’s script demands of Berenice, whose clueless behavior prompts rolling eyes and snorts of disgust. Smith clearly hasn’t the slightest idea how to write a credible female character; this one is
nothing but a one-dimensional fantasy. More damningly, because Capotondi’s film wastes so much time with its artificially baroque banter, there’s no foundation for the final scene’s “surprise reveal,” which merely prompts questions that Smith’s script can’t begin to answer. In fairness, Jagger is a hoot; he’s the only actor able to extract maximum smugness from every individual syllable of the smoothly haughty Cassidy’s irony-laced speeches. Jagger also swans about quite persuasively in this patrician setting. He looks like he belongs, which is more than can be said for anybody else in this overcooked fiasco. Sutherland occasionally manages sympathetic charm, particularly with respect to Debney’s fondness for Berenice, but even he ultimately is undone by Smith’s hopelessly ornate dialogue. People simply don’t talk like this. Bang, for his part, never ceases to be insufferably annoying. We loathe James on sight, and Bang never does anything to alter that opinion. And it’s not merely that James is a contemptuous character; Bang never really settles into the role, as if he doesn’t respect the material. (If so, I can’t blame him.) Capotondi’s film is the sort of pompous nonsense that gives a bad name to indie cinema. Proceed at your own risk.

My brother has been estranged from the family for a long time — since he was in Vietnam. I have maintained a relationship with him by calling him a few times a year. He never calls me. I am the only sibling out of six who keeps in touch with him. My husband does not think highly of him, nor did he think highly of my nephew who just passed. The reason is that there was not a great meeting, which took place at our wedding. So, when I broke the news to my husband, he said to me, “Sorry, but (expletive) your nephew for how he Living, working, Apartment for Rent: treated me, and (explePrivateoffice 13’ x 13’ downstairs space. tive) your brother.” I bedroom, single or double am really hurt.

Dear Annie: My wife’s brother-in-law, “Mike,” is the family character, always quick with a quip, just a fun-loving guy, seemingly without a care in the world. He has a few flaws, which are mostly tied to his excessive drinking, but they have always been overlooked, because, well, that’s just Mike. Over the past few years, Mike has become a bit too clingy to my wife, shown by the longer than normal hugs, unrequested shoulder rubs, never missing a kiss goodbye, etc. However, his actions of late have become more excessive and obvious. Additionally, these displays of affection are uniquely bestowed upon my wife and no one else in the family. My wife is uncomfortable with the situation but does not want to confront Mike, both because she is not confrontational by nature and out of respect for her sister. She would prefer to grin and bear it and hope for the best. I believe Mike needs to be pulled aside and confronted directly, telling him exactly what he is doing that month double First and last makes my wife uncomfortable, making sure he understands he is crossing the line with her and his physical displays of affection need to stop. Your thoughts on how we should best address this situation would be appreciated. We look forward to your response. — At a Loss with the Loveable Lush Dear At a Loss: Is it possible that Mike’s intensifying inappropriate behavior toward your wife coincides with an intensifying drinking problem? Alcoholism is a progressive disease, and you never know what might be going on behind closed doors. Your wife could open a dialogue (upside down) with her sister: ask how things have been at home, gently and nonjudgmentally express concern about Mike’s drinking. Sudoku 1 Sudoku 2 That’s one place to start. Additionally, see if your wife would be OK with your trying to stop his unwanted advances before they start — such as by warmly walking him to the door while making chitchat, before he can begin making his way to her for a goodnight kiss. And continue to check in with her about how she’s feeling. Over time, she may grow more open to the idea of your speaking up. ——— PUBLIC NOTICE Dear Annie: My boyfriend and NOTICE OF PUBLIC AUCTION BEGINNING ON OCTOBER 23, 2020 I have been together nine years.

City of Davis Notice of Public Hearing The City of Davis City Council will conduct a public hearing on the project application, as described below, at a meeting beginning at a meeting beginning at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 6, 2020 in the Community Chambers, City Offices, 23 Russell Boulevard, Davis, California. In accordance with Executive Order N-33-20 and N-29-20, this meeting may be conducted electronically or by teleconference, without a physical location from which members of the public may observe and offer public comment. The Zoom meeting link can be found on the electronically posted agenda on the City of Davis website. Information on how to observe the meeting and offer public comment electronically or telephonically will be included in the meeting agenda. Please contact the City Clerk’s Office or Department of Community Development and Sustainability for the approximate time this item will be heard. Project Name: Plaza 2555 Apartments Project Location: 2555 Research Park Drive APNs: 069-530-030 and 069-530-031 File Number: Planning Application (PA) #17-17: General Plan Amendment#1-17, South Davis Specific Plan Amendment (SPA) #1-17, Rezoning and Preliminary Planned Development #1-17, and Development Agreement (DA #3-18) including an Affordable Housing Plan #1-17 Applicant: Blue Bus, Limited Partnership, C/o Richard Harris P. O. Box 4400, Davis, CA 95617 Owner:
John Ott, P. O. Box 4400, Davis, CA 95617
Project Description: The proposed project requests approval of General Plan and Specific Plan amendments, rezoning, affordable housing plan and development agreement (DA) to accommodate the Plaza 2555 apartment project. The proposal is to allow the construction of up to 200 apartment units on approximately 6.34 acres, and provide approximately 1-acre land contribution that could be deeded to Yolo Crisis Nursery (YCN). According to the applicant, contributing “land to the YCN supports the community’s social services safety net for very low-income families, enabling children to remain safe and supporting their families through crisis.” The projected unit mix for the proposed project is featured in the table below. The precise unit mix will not be confirmed until the applicant submits Final Planned Development and Design Review applications, if the current entitlement applications are approved by the City Council. Table 1: Plaza 2555 Proposed Unit Distribution Unit Type by Bedrooms % of All Units # of Units # of Bedrooms Micro unit 2.5% 5 5 One bedroom 2.5% 5 5 Two bedroom 40% 81 162 Three bedroom 55% 109 327 Total Units: 100% 200 499 Further the applicant states: “The Plaza 2555 project proposes a mix of affordable housing elements -- on-site affordable housing and a land contribution to the Yolo Crisis Nursery that addresses a particular unmet housing need within the City of Davis (“City”); meets the affordability requirements for a Sustainable Communities Project (“SCP”) under Public Resources Code section 21155.1(c); and respects the neighborhood context. Because this project would be entirely privately funded, the components of the affordable housing plan can be both straightforward and flexible. There are two components of the revised Plaza 2555 Affordable Housing Plan: on-site affordable rental units and a land contribution to the Yolo Crisis Nursery, as described more fully below. 1.) On-Site Affordable Rental Units for Very Low Income (Sustainable Communities Project). Consistent with Public Resources Code Chapter 4.2, 21155.1, Section (c)(1), Plaza 2555 will include 5% of the rental units to be rented at an affordable rent to very low income households, which is defined by the statute as those households with a gross income of no more than 50% of the Area Median Income (“AMI”), adjusted for household size appropriate for the unit. Yolo County will be used as the “area” for calculation of applicable AMI. With the proposed project of 200 units, Plaza 2555 would provide 10 units that are affordable to very low-income households. Half of these are proposed to be micro units and half of them would be 1-bedroom units. At current standards, the rent for such units would be 30% of the income for a household earning 50% of the AMI. …” 2.) Approximately 1-acre Land Contribution to Yolo Crisis Nursery (YCN). In addition, Plaza 2555 also proposes to contribute approximately one (1) acre of land to the Yolo Crisis Nursery (“YCN”) for the purpose of YCN creating a new, larger YCN facility that will better meet the needs of families in Yolo County. …” On September 21, 2020, the Social Services Commission provided advisory input to the City Council, which included revisions to the above-described affordable housing plan. Environmental Determination: Staff and the Planning Commission have determined that the project is statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Public Resources Code (“PRC”) Sections 21155.1(Transit Priority Project). Therefore, the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Availability of Documents: The project application file is available for review at the Department of Community Development and Sustainability, 23 Russell Boulevard, Suite 2, Davis, California, 95616. 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. . Again, the Zoom meeting link can be found on the electronically posted agenda on the City of Davis website. The City Council staff reports and agenda are available through the City’s website at: https://www.cityofdavis.org/city-hall/city-council/city-councilmeetings/agendas. Public Comments: All interested parties are invited to attend the meeting or send written comments to the project planner at: City of Davis, Department of Community Development and Sustainability, c/o Ike Njoku, Project Planner & Historical Resources Manager, 23 Russell Boulevard, Suite 2, Davis, California, 95616; or via email at: injoku@cityofdavis. org. To ensure comments will be distributed, comments are requested to be provided no later than 12:00 noon the date of the meeting. For questions, please call the project planner at (530) 757-5610 x 7230. 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. If you challenge the action taken on this matter in court, the challenge may be limited to raising only those issues raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or in written correspondence to the Director of Department of Community Development and Sustainability or City Clerk at, or prior to, the public hearing.
