Enterprise staff writer Over the years, newspapers have changed in size and scope. Some have evolved into online-only products while enough old-school readers remain to keep print editions alive across the nation. Among the newspapers to be the last standing, industry experts say, will be community publications like The Davis Enterprise. Smaller local papers not only serve to inform their readers about events in their backyards — ranging from breaking news to weddings and sports to garage sales — they also offer a proving ground for upand-coming journalists. Such has been the case at The Davis Enterprise, with former scribes, editors and interns having plied their trade from the San Jose Mercury News and the Sacramento Bee to The New York Times and beyond. Many of The Enterprise alums have matriculated from the Davis High school newspaper, The Hub. It’s a relationship that has been alive for decades, and thanks to the pandemic, has now been married in print as The Davis Enterprise publishes a weekly page on Wednesdays produced by The Hub staff. “We’re just thrilled with the partnership,” Enterprise editor Sebastian Oñate said. “Davis High’s student journalists do marvelous work, and we’re proud to be able to showcase it through the rest of the school year and beyond.” Enterprise publisher Taylor Buley said the idea was a natural outgrowth of the “News Cycle” podcast, on which the Hub and

Council OKs Research Park project

City has plan for crumbling pavement

BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY

Enterprise staff writer The Davis City Council on Tuesday unanimously approved construction of a mixed-use project in South Davis. The project will bring housing and additional office space to University Research Park, which is already home to Novozymes Inc., Bioconsortia Inc. and Marrone Bio Innovations, among others. Developer Mark Friedman of Fulcrum Property said the housing is aimed at

individuals already working in the research park as well as employees of businesses considering moving there. Located on 4.5 acres north of the Holiday Inn Express on Research Park Drive, the project will feature a complex of four buildings, each containing four floors of apartment units over a ground floor of office and technology space. The buildings will surround an open courtyard. All told, the project will bring 26,912 square feet of

In describing the goals of the project to the council on Tuesday, Friedman praised the success of University Research Park — which Fulcrum acquired from Interland LLC in 2015 — and the kinds of businesses it has lured, calling them “the finest mix of R&D companies anywhere in our region.” But, Friedman said “our

Enterprise staff writer The city of Davis has a path forward for fixing its worst-in-the-region roads and bike paths under a plan approved by the City Council on Tuesday. The plan was devised by a subcommittee of Councilman Dan Carson and Mayor Gloria Partida — along with city staff and consultants — and aims to bring roads and bike paths up to the standards set by the city back in 2013. Not only was that goal — a pavement condition index of 63 for roads and 68 for bike paths — not met, but in January the council learned conditions had deteriorated to a PCI of 57 for roads and 52 for bike paths. The city’s roads, the council

was told, were worse than every other city in the area, including that of Winters, Woodland, West Sacramento, Dixon and Sacramento. Carson and Partida were tasked with finding a way to turn things around and pay for it. Their recommendations, approved unanimously Tuesday, include a plan for funding the estimated $84 million cost over the next 10 years in part through a combination of increased General Fund money, unallocated funds from other projects, community enhancement funds and more. About $53 million is already available for the work, Carson said, leaving a

Briefly Downtown fight leads to arrest Davis police reported Tuesday the arrest of a man on suspicion of battery — with possible hate crime and other charges forthcoming — after a weekend altercation in the downtown area. According to a Davis Police Department Facebook post, officers were dispatched at about 1:30 a.m. Saturday to investigate reports of a physical fight between two men in an alley near the 200 block of E Street. “The officers conducted an investigation and found that a verbal argument between the two had escalated into a physical fight after the victim asked the other person to leave the area of his business because he was trespassing,” the post said.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2020

As long as the atrocity was sanitary ...

LEAN AS A WHISTLE ... our own United States Justice Department admits that it cannot find the parents of even one of those 545 children held at the Mexico-U.S. border ... but, as our dear president just said, the facilities in which they are being held are “so clean.” ... I’m imagining one of those 545 kids ripped from their parents arms sitting down to write a letter to mom and dad, wherever they are ... “Hi, I’m fine. Don’t miss you at all, because this place is so clean.” ... VOTER SUPPRESSION ... why is it this time around that every appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court to restrict voting is always being filed by the same political party? ... as the president says, if we let everyone vote, we’ll never elect another Republican in this country ...

district elections would dramatically reduce the cost of running a campaign ...

lawyers on the Bush team ... SPEAKING OF JUSTICE BARRETT ... the newest member of the Supremes seems to have all sorts of trouble allowing former felons to vote, but argues strongly for their right to possess firearms ... EVEN MORE BARRETT ... a Republican friend of mine who was happy about the Barrett appointment, told me “Now that the Supreme Court is secure for a long, long time, I can comfortably vote for Joe Biden.” ... an odd, but interesting, perspective ...

Texans, had planned to have 12, but I guess that was 11 too many for the Texas Rangers to guard ...

TO B OR NOT TO B ... opponents of Measure B are afraid the Sacramento city skyline will fade from view if the DISC project is approved ... so I did a little research and learned that among the top three reasons people move to Davis in the first place are the schools, Dos Coyotes and the Sacramento city skyline ... among travelers from Europe, the Sacramento city skyline ranks only behind Yosemite and Disneyland among “must see” attractions ...

ARED SHOWS HIS TRUE COLORS ... presidential sonin-law Jared Kushner declared this week that “President Trump’s policies are the policies that can help Black Americans break out of the problems that they are complaining about, but he can’t help them be successful more than they want to be successful.” ... wow ... and the Grand Old Party still wonders why it has trouble attracting Black voters? ...

A FLOWERING ELECTION ... I don’t know about you, but I truly appreciate the two pink flowers framing the words “OFFICIAL BALLOT” on the Yolo County General Election ballot ... I’m sure the Republican Party is at this very moment petitioning the Supreme Court to toss these ballots as subtly telling voters to pick the kinder, gentler candidate ...

RED VERSUS BLUE ... President Trump pulled out a COVID graph the other day and claimed that if you didn’t count the blue states, there had been almost no coronavirus deaths at all in the United States ... so, defining a red state as one that voted for Trump in 2016 and a blue state as one that voted for Clinton in 2016, I meticulously went through the grim death toll, state by state, and was stunned to realize that for the first time in his life, the president was not telling the truth ... Turns out there have been more COVID deaths in red states than blue states, and by a significant margin ... and that’s nothing for either side to be happy about ...

Officers arrested Ostland on a battery charge as well as a misdemeanor warrant from an outside jurisdiction.

EVEN MORE ON SUPPRESSING THE VOTE ... writes Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, parroting the man who appointed him, “If the apparent winner the morning after the election ends up losing due to late-arriving ballots, charges of a rigged election could explode.” ... so what? ... if the state law in question says they should be counted if they were postmarked by Election Day, that’s all a Supreme Court justice should concern himself with ... The president has already exploded with claims that the election is rigged, no matter when the votes come in ... I seem to remember that Bush v. Gore wasn’t decided on Election Day either, something that Kavanaugh should remember, given that he, Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett were all

The case has been forwarded to the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office with recommended additional hate crime and false imprisonment charges, police said.

Watch the video at https://fb.watch/1pSqFX 9S7u. The suspects, both male, are seen smashing the front window of Kind Farma, 946 Olive Drive, with a yellow crowbar before briefly entering the business at about 2:30 a.m. Monday. They fled the scene in a black or gray older-model sport-utility vehicle.

Killer denied parole for 13th time Special to The Enterprise Convicted Davis murderer Daniel Wehner was denied parole for the 13th time this week by a twocommissioner panel of the Board of Parole Hearings. He is currently housed at California State Prison Solano in Vacaville. In March 1980, Wehner brutally murdered his former girlfriend Robin Ehlman and her friend John Manville at the Castilian Apartments in Davis. Ehlman was 19 years old when she was killed and Manville, a UC Davis veterinarian student, was 25. Wehner had been stalking Ehlman and had physically and emotionally abused her during their relationship, causing her to lose consciousness after choking her on at least one occasion. On June 19, 1981, after Wehner agreed to a plea, a Yolo County judge sentenced Wehner to 27 years to life in state prison for the murders. Prior to the sentencing hearing a courtappointed psychiatrist interviewed members of Wehner's family, who

described him as “irresponsible,” "violent" and having an “explosive temper.” “He had a winning personality and charmed older people but had not an ounce of sincerity,” said Wehner’s family, who also described Ehlman as “soft and gentle.” At Tuesday's parole hearing, conducted remotely by video due to the COVID-19 pandemic, parole board Commissioner Mary Thornton and Deputy Commissioner Patrick Reardon both agreed that

Wehner, now 67, still posed a continued risk to public safety should he be released from prison. “You were callous towards others. You brutally shot the victims not considering how that loss would affect their family and friends," Thornton told Wehner. "We were concerned about your lack of credibility and minimization. And you were not honest in describing the physical abuse you did to Robin before the life crime.”

BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY More than 56,600 Yolo County voters had returned their ballots to the elections office as of noon on Thursday, representing 47.5 percent of all registered voters in the county. As of Thursday, 119,218 county residents had registered to vote, an all-time high. By comparison, the county had 113,132 registered voters for the November 2018 election and 111,226 for the November 2016 presidential election. Voter turnout in Yolo County for the last presidential election was 76.1 percent. Seniors represent the largest block of county voters who have returned their ballots so far, according to Political Data, Inc., which tracks absentee ballots for all counties. Political Data’s vice president, Paul Mitchell, also heads Redistricting Partners, which contracted with the city of Davis last year to draw the boundary lines for City Council districts.

According to Political Data, 63 percent of Yolo County registered voters over age 65 had returned their ballots as of Wednesday. The largest age group receiving ballots — the 35,601 registered voters ages 18 to 34 — had returned 31 percent of their ballots as of Wednesday. Those aged 25 to 49 had returned 38 percent of their ballots while those 50 to 64 had returned 47 percent of their ballots. A higher percentage of Democrats have returned their ballots than either Republicans or those listed as independent or other. Slightly more than half of Democrats (51 percent) have sent in their ballots, versus 37 percent of Yolo County Republicans and 34 percent of independent/other voters. Democrats make up just over half of all registered voters in Yolo County, according to Political Data, with voters registered as independent or other comprising just under 30 percent and Republicans about 20 percent.

PROJECT: Council happy with Pets of the with affordable-housing fee From Page A1 major objective is to figure out how to continue to provide the kinds of amenities, lab space and office space that will continue to make this a vibrant and desirable park.” Housing is a big part of that, he said. “There really isn’t any kind of jobs and housing balance here,” said Friedman, who added that, “by providing people an opportunity to live close to where they work… it will enhance our ability to attract (tenants to the rest of the research park).” The Davis Planning Commission had recommended approval of the project to the City Council but on a split vote with several commissioners objecting to the affordable housing component of the project. That component would not include affordable units on site but would instead provide $600,000 in in lieu fees for the city’s affordable housing trust fund. Councilman Will Arnold on Tuesday noted how useful those fees are, including enabling the city recently to purchase a duplex on H Street that will provide transitional housing and other homeless services during and after construction of Paul’s Place. Located next to the

duplex, Paul’s Place is a $5 million, privately funded “vertical tiny home” project that will provide emergency, transitional and permanent supportive housing in a multifunctional facility. That $600,000, said Arnold, “is a real investment that can go directly towards housing folks in our community … That’s a big deal and should not be ignored and be seen as not a real investment.” Planning Commissioner Darryl Rutherford had urged Friedman to provide more in the way of affordable housing, but Friedman had said that given how expensive vertical mixed-use housing is to build, that $600,000 was the maximum feasible for the project. He also told planning commissioners, “I don’t understand how the community is better off, how you solve your housing problems, by making projects so infeasible that nobody builds them.” Mayor Gloria Partida echoed that sentiment on Tuesday, describing it as “just sort of shooting ourselves in the foot for not doing what we need to do in providing housing for people and providing projects that we need in this community.” Partida called the mixeduse project “everything that our community has asked for.”

“We’ve asked for more workforce housing and this is providing that,” she said. “We’ve asked for infill and this is providing that. We’ve asked for mixed-use projects which are very difficult to provide — which is the reason we had originally not included any affordable housing in mixed-use — so the fact that we are getting something that will go to our affordable housing trust, is a plus here “We do need that revenue also to ensure that we do have a pot of money for when we need it.” the mayor added. Other council members were equally enthusiastic about the project. “I think it’s really a great infill project,” said Vice Mayor Lucas Frerichs. The project will meet current and future employer needs, he said, with proximity to downtown and the university. The council also thanked Friedman for bringing the project to Davis. “Getting a project approved in Davis can be gray hair inducing,” said Councilman Brett Lee. “So thank you for continuing to want to invest in our community,” Lee told Friedman. — Reach Anne TernusBellamy at aternus@ davisenterprise.net.

PAVEMENT: Long-term problem From Page A1 $31 million gap that would be filled the following ways: ■ Taking into account new money that is already going towards pavement rehabilitation efforts. That includes $3.5 million in funding the council approved for pavement work that went unspent in 2019-20 and $300,000 per year already earmarked to offset road damage from garbage trucks ($10.1 million) ■ Investing additional General Fund money into roads and bike paths once the current recession is over. ($12.1 million) ■ Directing a share of uncommitted special funds to road and bike path rehabilitation projects. These include transportation funds such as gas tax revenues that the city receives and which are usually left unallocated for unanticipated transportation needs. ($6 million) ■ Directing a share of uncommitted community enhancement funds to pavement rehabilitation. The city regularly collects one-time funding from developers of housing and commercial projects that would be used in part for pavement work that benefits residents who live in or near those projects and the community as a whole. ($2.8 million) City tax rates would not be increased, Carson noted, but additional revenues generated from economic

development projects would be redirected to road and bike path repair. The plan assumes the recession will end by 202324, allowing increased General Fund revenue to flow towards roads and bike paths after that, and may result in fewer dollars available for other new programs or projects. However, said Partida, “It doesn’t mean that we will never have anything new or nice, but it does mean that we have to take care of things (that need it most first).” Carson said the plan is not “a fake promise”; rather, he said, it is a 10-year plan, laid out in detail. The council will make the funding decisions in each budget it passes, said Carson, and the city’s Finance and Budget Commission will play an active role in seeing the plan implemented. “At the end, the roads will be at the goal we set,” he said. His colleagues on the council were supportive of the plan and appreciative of the work that Carson, Partida and city staff put into it. Unlike flashier items that might garner more public attention and media coverage, “this is the real nuts and bolts,” said Councilman Will Arnold. “This is one of the fundamental, essential services that a local government provides along with public

safety and water in, water out. “And to be able to create a pathway to achieving a benchmark that was set years ago and which very recently we had been discouraged that we would be able to achieve… to have a very detailed plan set up for that, I’m just so pleased to be a part of it, so thankful for the work.” “I’m super appreciate for the work that’s been done by (the subcommittee),” said Vice Mayor Lucas Frerichs. Carson, meanwhile, noted that when he first ran for office in 2018, “knocking on doors back when you could do that, time and time again those conversations at the door were folks saying, ‘Please do something to fix the roads, please do something to fix the bike paths.’” The council had been making that effort, he said, including by encouraging economic development to bring more revenue into city coffers, something done with cannabis taxes, for example, and approval of new hotels. Those things, said Carson, “are helping us to get the resources that we (need to) do this.” The city has more to do on economic development, he added, “but we’re getting really close here.” — Reach Anne TernusBellamy at aternus@ davisenterprise.net.

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 Torta (A183700). She is a young, easygoing, laidback tortoiseshell cat who would love to hang out and cuddle. She would do well in a home with or without other cats. Also hoping for a good home is Odessa (A183080), a 3-year-old female husky who is very affectionate and playful. She has a gentle and mellow personality but also enjoys a good game of fetch. To meet Odessa or any adoptable YCAS animal, contact adoptycas@ gmail.com. All shelter animals are up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, and spayed or neutered. The shelter is closed to the public for nonemergencies but the staff is available to assist at 530-668-5287 during new temporary hours: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Monday to Friday and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays. For information, visit www.petfinder.com/ member/us/ca/ woodland/yolo-countyanimal-services-ca283/. At Rotts of Friends Animal Rescue, you’ll find two adorable blackand-white, 4-month-old kittens. They would love to be adopted together but can also go separately. They are up-todate on kitten shots and will be neutered by our vet at no cost when they are old enough. They are a little shy but very sweet and friendly. Janette is a 1-yearold spayed female Rottweiler. She is extremely friendly but just needs training. She is currently being taken through obedience-training classes so she is on her way to being well trained. Janette is full of fun and loves to play. The next Rotts of Friends’ adoption event is from 8 to 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 31, at 34505 County Road 29 in Woodland.

The issue: It’s a new era, in more ways than one Election Day is almost upon us, which these days means, the end of the voting process, not the beginning. Here, then, is a lastminute reminder of where we stand on local candidates. It’s a new era in Davis politics. As if the coronavirus pandemic didn’t make things strange enough, we’re also voting for City Council by district for the first time. For twofifths of the population, this means there will be no vote at all, and the rest of us get one candidate each. This is a marked change from the days when the whole city voted on multiple candidates and radically realigns the relationship between voters and candidates. IN DISTRICT 3, we can’t help but be impressed by the work Lucas Frerichs has put in. A DHS graduate and a truly involved community member, Frerichs has the best interests of this city at heart in every action he takes. The impression one gets speaking to Frerichs is high energy and rapid-fire delivery of ideas. He’s been a part of the council’s transition into a more businesslike and effective entity. Looking back on his previous eight years, Frerichs cited as his proudest moments cofounding Valley Clean Energy, the locally governed clean energy provider for Davis, Woodland and unincorporated areas of the county; working with colleagues to approve and then build the Woodland-Davis Surface Water Project; and replacing the aging wastewater treatment plant. He has been Davis’ representative on the Sacramento Area Council of Governments and was elected board chair in January of this year, taking an opportunity to give Davis a voice in regional issues. We hope Davis voters agree with us and return Frerichs to office. IN DISTRICT 5, South Davis, attitudes are different on the matter of district elections. Where most Davis voters (and politicians) are, at best, ambivalent about the change, those south of Interstate 80 are embracing an opportunity to emerge from what they see as decades of neglect in local politics. Enter Rochelle Swanson, who served two terms under the old system and then walked away to focus on family as her youngest approached graduation. Now energized by the possibility of bringing more attention to South Davis issues, she’s reapplying for her old job. We think she deserves it. Her time on the council was marked by recovery from a recession and turmoil over policing. Davis, all of Davis, could use her experience on those matters. “It’s a perfect storm of things that have come together that I’m uniquely qualified for,” Swanson told us in September. We agree, and hope to see her on the council after November. IN DISTRICT 2, we recommend returning Will Arnold to the council. A Davis native and Davis High graduate, he had already been involved in local politics and volunteerism for years when he first ran in 2016. Arnold doesn’t do anything halfway; when he commits to an issue, he does so with enthusiasm and sees it through to completion. A busy husband and father, he also has experience as a downtown merchant and has seen first-hand Davis’ challenges in that arena. In recent years, the once-dysfunctional City Council has been able to get down to business, and made serious progress on issues like the budget and housing. Like Frerichs, Arnold’s blend of sincerity, commitment to his own values and collaborative approach has been a key part of that evolution. Housing was his priority in 2016 and, as he told The Enterprise in August, “We addressed that head-on. We approved a number of rental (market rate and affordable) housing projects and I’m very proud of that.” Now he has his eye on more diverse housing projects. For his commitment to the community, for his level-headed approach to problemsolving, and for his compassion and enthusiasm, we are proud to back Will Arnold for District 2.

I am writing a personal letter to endorse Supervisor Jim Provenza’s re-election to the Yolo County Board of Supervisors. First, I want to be clear, I am a loyal supporter of equality and the first to support local and national efforts to serve minority communities and human rights. When it comes to leadership, however, I have always aligned myself with the leader that I believe to exhibit the highest values, integrity and dedication in serving their community. I don’t believe that excellent leadership is represented by one gender over another, and I do believe that diversity brings the right balance. As you cast your vote, I urge you to consider true leadership, experience and commitment when you vote for Jim Provenza in the upcoming election as Yolo County Supervisor. I assure you, I will be the fist to endorse a female candidate, as well as more diversity and equal representation for the Board of Supervisors, when a candidate with comparable leadership qualities enters the race. Until that time, however, Jim has my vote. As a longtime Davis resident, now living in Woodland, I have known Jim for more than 10 years and I am uniquely familiar with his track record in serving our community. I have worked side by side with him on matters that address families and children in crisis, and I can assure you that many of the programs Jim has endorsed, as well as the corresponding budget allocations he has voted for, have resulted in contributing to long-term physical and mental health, educational achievements and success of the families served. I have personally witnessed his unwavering care and commitment to housing insecurities, food insecurity and the needs of the elderly in Yolo County. Jim has been an unwavering champion of diversity. More recently, Jim’s response and hard work to care for those impacted by COVID-19 has been exemplary and his many years as a supervisor have produced a distinguished track record of creating sustainable economic development solutions, more jobs, a farmland protection ordinance, as well as responsible funding allocations.

I support Colin Walsh for Council Having served on the Davis City Council for 12 years and having served as mayor of Davis, I understand that our quality of life in Davis is facing unprecedented challenges in the pandemic era. I’ve known Colin for over two decades, and I know that Colin appreciates that maintaining our quality of life doesn’t come from blindly following out-oftown boilerplate consultant reports or approving every developer application with minor tweaking. Colin knows that good city planning comes from having the judgment to combine our unique smalltown character with sound, common-sense environmental principles and to actually listen to the citizens. I have complete trust in Colin’s intelligence, wisdom and dedication to oversee Davis’ city planning and financial management in these challenging times. Especially important to me is that Colin loves the unique character of

Swanson for South Davis In the future, South Davis will have its own representative and voice on the Davis City Council, and I hope that person is someone strong, sensitive and responsible. Through your esteemed paper, I would like to bring to the attention of my fellow South Davis residents, an outstanding candidate running for City Council this year from our district, No. 5. In 2018, I was very disappointed when I learned that Rochelle Swanson was not going to seek re-election to the City Council but was elated this year when she decided to run again. I had seen Rochelle in action at several City Council meetings and her skills in dealing with difficult issues. I was very impressed by her approach, dedication, progressive thoughts and analytical skills. There have been times when the council was divided on the issues, but Rochelle came up with solutions, which were budget-friendly and provided accountability, and was progressive in nature. In short, these are extraordinary times that require extraordinary ideas and approaches. The COVID-19 pandemic has added a whole new and difficult dimension to society, which requires leaders like Rochelle, ones who embody progressive, accountable and responsible governance. She is a leader whose experience and expertise can help Davis meet the challenges of our college town and leverage our unique and home-grown innovations and entrepreneurs that are the key to economic sustainability. I am proud to support Rochelle for District 5, and I look forward to her representing our community on the Davis City Council. Sham S. Goyal Davis

Opposing DISC and Measure B I am going to oppose Measure B, but for different reasons from most of the rest of the opposition. I generally acknowledge the need for this type of innovation center in Davis and I think we can design one that is more favorable to the environment than if it was built in another community. But I think the changed circumstances since March must give us pause as to what our future looks like. What’s going to happen to the downtown core? Will commercial space empty as more employees work

at home? Will the retail services there close as business declines? Is a peripheral development the best choice in this environment? While residential development in California appears to continue afoot, a quick perusal of the daily newspapers shows that the same isn’t true for commercial. We have time to get this right. My second reason is that the developers staged an endrun of the public review process, even if it was inhibited by the pandemic. I am a member of the Natural Resources Commission and saw what happened. The developers had most of the elements for the baseline features and development agreement in place last fall, yet they waited until February to engage with the various commissions. And then they came back in May with a “rush, rush” need for approval before the decision to put this on the ballot in early July. The developers didn’t even bother to show up for the last two NRC meetings where we hammered out an extensive set of baseline features to be considered. The staff off-handedly dismissed all of the proposals from the various conditions in the report (and in their haste even a couple that the developer had originally included), and the City Council members had to reach out to individual commission members to learn more and then add some features back. We cannot reward developers for such blatant disregard of our citizens. So I now publicly oppose Measure B. I’ll reconsider when they come back with a proposal that fits the best of the future of Davis (once we figure that out). Richard McCann Davis

Vote for Hyder, Darrah, Chapman I am supporting Betsy Hyder for DJUSD Area 5 School Board Trustee. Betsy has many years’ experience as a parent and volunteer in our District and served as PTA president at Pioneer Elementary. As someone who has done a lot of volunteer work at Davis schools, I know that our volunteers work tirelessly and passionately to support our students, teachers and community. Betsy’s volunteer work, her experience as an engineer and attorney (specializing in child advocacy), and her willingness to collaborate will make Betsy a great addition to our school board. I am also happy to support Lea Darrah who is running unopposed for Area 2 School Board Trustee! Lea is a longtime volunteer and parent in our District, and she is also the vice president for education on the California State PTA. I have worked with Lea on various District committees and PTA’s over the years and I am confident that her skills and experience will make her an asset to the School Board. Finally, I am supporting Josh Chapman for the District 5 City Council seat. Josh is very

Back Frerichs and Arnold I am writing in support of Lucas Frerichs and Will Arnold for City Council. As a longtime member of the Open Space and Habitat Commission it has been my good fortune to work with these two candidates on many environmental issues over the past years. They have both demonstrated a strong commitment to our city’s open space program and will undoubtedly continue to do so over the next four years. As a commissioner as well as a professional conservation scientist at UCD I can say that these are the two strongest environmental candidates for their districts on the ballot next month. More importantly, however, they have both shown that they are experienced, thoughtful, intelligent and progressive decision makers that will be necessary in the coming months and years as we deal with multiple natural, social, and political crises. With their track record, I am certain that these are the two best candidates to represent their districts. I will be excited to cast my ballot for Lucas, and wish I could as well for Will. Patrick Huber Davis

Deos is a much-needed voice If you have not voted yet, please do vote for Linda Deos for county supervisor. I know Linda, and I know she will do the right thing for Yolo County. Linda has a passion for uplifting those disenfranchised in Yolo County — her priorities of affordable housing, protecting the environment and alternatives to mass incarceration will be a refreshing and muchneeded voice on our Board of Supervisors. We do not need to incarcerate more nonviolent offenders in an expanded jail. We do not need more money going to a district attorney’s office that overcharges minor offenders and wastes our county’s precious funds. Linda will advocate passionately for immigrants, people of color, and other marginalized folks. As an immigration defense attorney, I know there sometimes is bias in county agencies, which means that important needs in our communities’ are not being met fairly and accountably. And very importantly, we really need a strong, progressive woman on our Yolo Board of Supervisors! Ann Block Davis

HUB: Longtime collaboration only gets stronger From Page A1 team knew that we wouldn’t be able to publish our work like we normally do,” noted Renee Xiang, co-editor of The Hub. “Having the opportunity to print in The Enterprise is exciting for us: Firstly, because it means we get to widen our audience base. “Secondly, being able to foster a project that’s new and innovative during a time when we’re faced with a unique set of barriers is rewarding for all of our (staff ).” DHS teacher Kelly Wilkerson, the longtime student-newspaper adviser, pointed out, “We are a career tech program, so this is invaluable to students. While I look over articles, student editors are getting direct feedback from their ‘bosses’ at The Enterprise.” Wilkerson said planning for a year without The Hub in print “was honestly too depressing to think about ... all those things students were going to miss out on. So, instead, I decided to focus on new opportunities.” Under normal circumstances, The Hub is a 16-page monthly publication distributed to Davis High students and parents. How important has The

Hub/Davis Enterprise relationship been? Two recent National High School Journalist of the Year winners — Kellen Browning and Meghan Bobrowsky — got their start at The Hub, then served internships at The Enterprise. Dozens more have gone from The Hub to The Enterprise to real-world reporting over the years. “I’m extremely proud of the relationships developed between The Hub and our newspaper,” said Debbie Davis, the retired Davis Enterprise editor and assistant publisher. Davis, who was The Hub adviser herself in the early 1980s, went on: “We’ve offered reporting and photography internships as well as newsroom clerk positions to dozens of students over the years. “Not only did those students gain valuable professional experience, but our newspaper reaped the benefit of their journalistic talents and enthusiasm. It was truly a win-win situation. “Wilkerson is an

outstanding teacher; the high school students we hired were skilled in the basics and often were better writers and reporters than our UC Davis interns.” Added Wilkerson: “Few high school journalists have the opportunity to work professionally, so (interning at The Enterprise) has always been a unique and valuable experience for Davis High students.” The two publications began co-producing the “DHS News Cycle” podcast last year and The Enterprise has printed The Hub for many years. But it’s the internships that put local journalists in a position to excel. “My time at The Hub and The Davis Enterprise in high school was crucial in helping me develop reporting and writing skills,” said Browning, a general-assignment reporter for the New York Times. “It’s where I learned how to write on deadline and cover breaking news. “I definitely would not

have been able to succeed as an early career journalist without those formative experiences. I still read The Enterprise.” Lauren Lee, who holds The Hub editor’s title with Xiang, weighed in on the importance of the new program: “The Enterprise and The Hub print collaboration was an amazing connection for our staff. I am really excited that we are able to share significant student-oriented stories with the entire Davis community. “Our whole team got to learn more about Adobe InDesign and receive feedback from professional journalists, which contributes tremendously to improving our publication. “This project is our greatest opportunity to innovate and expand The Hub during distance

learning, a necessary but otherwise disappointing replacement to in-person school.” Oh, one more thing? What’s the future of newspapers? “Although I can’t say for sure what the future of print media holds, there will always be a place in society for journalism,” Xiang believes. “I think newspapers have a certain impact that just can’t be recreated by digital media (at least not anytime soon). “So, erring on the side of optimism, I would hope to see a resurgence in the popularity of print within the next few years.” — Reach DE staffer Bruce Gallaudet at bgallaudet41@gmail.com or call 530-320-4456.

OBITUARIES Clara Louise O’Neil Comingore

Greta Ann (Gockel) Heinemeier

Sept. 26, 1926 — Oct. 22, 2020

Clara Louise O’Neil Comingore, at the great age of 94, passed away peacefully at home on Oct. 22, with her family at her side. Clara was born in 1926 in Moundsville, W.V., to Nelle (Lancaster) O’Neil and Ray O’Neil. Clara and her parents moved to Washington, D. C. when she was a young child. At the age of 9, she met the love of her life, Ed Comingore, through their church. Ed and Clara married on July 12, 1947, and celebrated their 73rd wedding anniversary this year. Together they had the joy of raising five daughters. Clara earned an associate’s degree from George Washington University and a bachelor’s degree from The Ohio State University. Her academic studies were topped off with a master’s degree in education from California State University, Hayward in 1978. Clara deeply enjoyed being a teacher of elementary-age children. She worked as a teacher, reading specialist and resource specialist for 20 years. Clara and Ed brought their daughters up to enjoy the outdoors. Clara taught all her daughters and many grandchildren how to ski. She was a member of the Boreal Ridge Ski Patrol as an auxiliary patroller for 25 years and, with her husband, skied until she was 89 years old. Clara also enjoyed tennis, swimming, running, walking, reading and writing. She played piano from childhood and

Alzada Jean Knickerbocker July 6, 1944 — Oct. 20, 2020

On Tuesday, Oct. 20, Alzada Jean Knickerbocker, loving mother, sister, grandmother, aunt and friend, passed away in her home in Davis from natural causes. Though the passing was unexpected, it was peaceful as Alzada was embraced in the arms of her savior. Alzada was 76 years old. Alzada was born on July 6, 1944, in Ohio to Kenneth and Dorothy Knickerbocker. Her family moved to Dallas, Texas, in 1945 and then to Knoxville, Tenn., in 1946. Alzada came from a long line of academics and her father served as the head of the English department and academic vice president of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Alzada earned her undergraduate degree at Radcliffe University and two master’s degrees from Stanford University and UCLA. Alzada was married in 1972 to Stan Forbes and they lived in Nashville, Tenn., and eventually, Richmond, Va., where she was a reporter for the local National Public Radio station. Alzada’s beloved son Alex was born in Richmond, Va., in 1976. Following this, Alzada moved to Davis in 1979, where she worked as the public relations and

marketing manager for the Sacramento Symphony. In 1987, Alzada found her true calling when she opened the Avid Reader Bookstore with her thenhusband, Stan. The Avid Reader quickly became a local treasure and the legacy lives on through the Avid Reader Bookstore and Avid Reader Active shop in downtown Davis. Alzada took great care and pride in serving a diverse community and had long-term dedicated customers and employees. Her store survived Amazon and big box competitor Borders Books. She sold the two stores in February 2020, and was so pleased to know the stores would continue to thrive under different ownership. She also opened the Avid Reader at The Tower in Sacramento in 2007 with Stan. The partnership continued until 2012 when she sold her ownership to him. Alzada had a full and active life, which was seen in Davis and beyond. She cared deeply for the community of Davis and was involved in a variety of local organizations. She was a longtime member of the Downtown Davis

Business Association and served as the past president. In this role, she influenced local policies and served as a voice for small businesses, emphasizing the importance of their role in the community. Previously, she led the local group, We the People, that promoted the U.S. Constitution through essay contests, events and community activities. Alzada loved politics and was a member of the executive committee of the local Yolo County Republican Central Committee and served as the former chair. Outside of Davis, Alzada was a member of the National Federation of Independent Business, advocating at the state and national level on small-business issues. She won the NFIB California Small Business Champion Award, twice, competing with more than 20,000 members across the state. Alzada believed strongly in the teachings of the Bible and was a founding member of the Christ the Redeemer Anglican Church in Davis. Her faith was an important part of her life and she

recently read the entire Bible with a study group of friends. Alzada is survived by her son Alex of Arnold, Md. (wife Julie), grandsons Mason and Connor, brother Robert Knickerbocker of Dallas, Texas, niece Dana Tennyson of Pottsboro, Texas (husband James), great niece Samantha and great nephews Robert and Lane. Alzada was passionate about her family, faith, small business and freedom. She was a champion for all of these things and a great encouragement to all who knew and loved her. She was an elegant embodiment of steadfast devotion to her God, family, church and country. The best kind of Christian: confident in her own beliefs, but welcoming toward the differences in others. A private ceremony for family and close friends will be held at the Davis Cemetery. A celebration of life service will be scheduled in the coming months once we are able to meet in larger groups. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Yolo County SPCA and Christ the Redeemer Anglican Church, 1801 Oak Ave., Davis, CA 95616, www.christredeemerdavis.org.

RAPIST: Victims detail horror on witness stand

Briefly City looks at housing needs

From Page A1

The city of Davis is hosting a Housing Needs Virtual Workshop for the public to learn about and share their input on the Housing Element Update. Participants can provide feedback on current and future housing for a safe and livable community at the workshop, planned for 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12, via Zoom at www.bit.ly/ DavisHousingNeeds. The 2021-2029 Housing Element will outline the programs, policies and strategies needed to promote the development of safe, accessible and diverse housing for households of all income levels in the city. RSVP at housing needs.eventbrite.com.

YoloWorks has layoff assistance The YoloWorks Rapid Response Team is offering a Layoff Assistance Webinar about the valuable resources available to workers and businesses impacted by COVID19. Participants will have three opportunities to attend the webinar on Nov. 2, 16 or 30, from 10 a.m. to noon. Register for the webinar via Zoom at https: //zoom.us/meeting/ register/tJcvcOCsrj0s GtcH9iK27CtvwXhU wfbLawoK.

face, jeans, hiking boots and a sleeveless vest. He asked T. Doe about her ATM card in a voice she described as “very soft and gentle.” That night, however, T. Doe and her roommate, K. Doe, experienced several hours of terror that authorities would later link to the NorCal Rapist, the serial sexual offender whose crime spree ultimately spanned 15 years and six counties, including 1997 and 2000 attacks in Davis. Most of the crimes followed common themes, during which the suspect entered dwellings at night while the victims were asleep or going about their nighttime routines. He would overcome and bind the women, sexually assault them repeatedly, then ransack their homes, stealing bank cards or personal property. DNA evidence would later link the attacks to Roy Charles Waller, 60, whose trial is in its second week in Sacramento Superior Court. A longtime safety specialist at UC Berkeley, Waller was arrested at his Benicia home in September 2018, 12 years after the NorCal Rapist’s last-known assault in Sacramento’s Natomas neighborhood. That 2006 incident also involved two victims, as did the 1997 Davis rapes.

Detail on the stand On the witness stand Wednesday, T. Doe said the intruder covered her eyes and mouth with duct tape

and ordered her onto her stomach, tying her hands and feet with zip ties and covering the back of her head with a pillow. He then pressed what she believed to be a gun to her head while telling her not to do anything “stupid.” “I was so afraid, so scared,” said T. Doe — as she’s referred to in court to protect her anonymity. Despite her fear, she struggled out of her restraints while the man bound Doe’s roommate in the other bedroom and made several trips up and down the stairs. “I got free. I opened the window and I’m about to jump down” when the man heard her movements and “he came and grabbed me back. …He said something like I ‘ruined his plan’.” After that, the intruder re-tied T. Doe — tighter this time — and carried her over his shoulder down the stairs, where he fastened her to a mattress he’d moved from one of the bedrooms. He again asked T. Doe about her ATM card and access number, which she gave him by gesturing with her finger, she said. At one point, he covered her with a blanket when she said she was cold. Fearing his next move, T. Doe warned the man that a third roommate would soon be home. She hoped the ruse would make him leave, “but it didn’t happen,” she said. Pausing several times to control her emotions and wipe away tears, T. Doe described having her pajamas removed with scissors, followed by several sexual assaults. “It was very painful,

because I’d never had sex before,” she said. Although she didn’t know it at the time, the man also victimized her roommate in the same room. Afterward, “he told me he had to go to the car and he’d be back in 10 minutes, and then he was gone.” Before he left, however, the man asked T. Doe whether she wanted him to call someone on her behalf. She refused, and, once the coast was clear, the two women freed one another and fled to a neighbor’s apartment after failing to find their phone, which their assailant had stashed in the freezer. Ashamed of what had just occurred, the women told their neighbors only that they’d been robbed, T. Doe recalled. “We didn’t want anyone to know,” Doe said, adding that to this day only seven of her relatives are aware of the attack. Two of her sisters accompanied her to court Wednesday, and “this is the first time they heard my story. …I never told them in detail.”

Return for more The NorCal Rapist returned to Davis more than three years later, setting his sights on a recent UC Davis graduate in her Alvarado Avenue townhouse. Her four housemates had recently moved out, leaving C. Doe home alone on the night of July 16, 2000, as she did some household chores. “I remember the windows were left open,” C.

Doe testified in court Thursday, recalling she left the townhouse several times to go to the complex’s laundry room. “It’s possible that I forgot to lock the door.” But nothing seemed amiss until about 10 p.m., when C. Doe went downstairs for a cup of water before going to bed. “I heard a squeaking sound coming from upstairs,” in one of the vacated bedrooms, she said. “I was a little bit suspicious, so I though I should go upstairs and check it out.” She retrieved a pair of manicure scissors from her own bedroom before crossing the hall and gently pushing on the other bedroom door. “That’s when the guy came out from behind the door. I pretty much freaked out,” C. Doe said, describing a man dressed all in black, a ski mask covering his face. She tried jabbing at him with the scissors, “but that was not useful at all, and he pushed me down on the floor.” Pressing a knee into C. Doe’s back, the intruder covered her eyes and mouth with duct tape and zip-tied her wrists and ankles. “Be quiet,” he said, telling C. Doe he just wanted “a little bit of money” and would leave. He also asked whether her whether her roommate was coming back, “so I said yes.” So the man turned his attention to C. Doe’s car, asking which in the parking lot was hers and where the keys were, she recalled. He tossed her over his shoulder and carried her downstairs — apologizing

when her head bumped against the ceiling — then placed her in the back seat of her sedan before getting behind the wheel. “He said he needed money, and a friend is going to pick him up and go to the airport,” C. Doe said. “I was hoping he would just cash out from my account and that was it.” But instead they drove, the man’s behavior ranging from accommodating — “he asked if the temperature was OK” — to admonishing, saying “I shouldn’t leave my windows open.” After about 20 minutes, he parked in a “dark and quiet” place, swapping C. Doe’s zip ties for duct tape before sexually assaulting her several times — and leaving behind physical evidence that would later yield the assailant’s DNA profile. “Don’t tell your boyfriend about this, or he may not want you afterwards,” the man said during the ordeal, which ended back in the townhouse parking lot. He asked for some time to “get away,” but also warned: “Don’t go to the police. I know where to find you.” But C. Doe ignored the warning and, after struggling free from the duct tape, drove directly to the Davis police station and filed a report. Waller’s trial resumes next week before Judge James Arguelles. — Reach Lauren Keene at lkeene@davisenterprise .net. Follow her on Twitter at @laurenkeene

New â€˜gardenâ€™ emerges at the Pence Metal artwork also serves a practical purpose Special to The Enterprise

long-awaited public art project has finally been installed at the Pence Gallery. The piece, titled â€œOur Garden,â€? was designed by artist Roma Devanbu to serve as a permanent metal artwork installed as a faĂ§ade to its stairwell. This project serves both as a practical solution to safeguard the facility from vandalism in the stairwell, as well as to create a beautiful piece of public art for all to enjoy in the courtyard. In the â€™70s and â€™80s on the extensive grassy

grounds and deck next to the Pence Gallery, live music and theater were frequently presented for the community. Over time, the necessary removal of several natural elements, including a historic oak tree, left the courtyard with very little â€œgreenâ€? for the public to visit. Devanbu, who lives in Davis, wanted to create a design based on her works on paper that are cut with intricate designs and patterns. â€œOur Gardenâ€? is based on the concept of returning a bit of nature to the community. â€œAs I prepared for this project, I found a great deal of inspiration in the (UC Davis) Arboretum and in the gardens of Davis neighborhoods,â€? Devanbu said. Viewers will see a forested garden full of blooming flowers, with all of the details cut out of metal. The courtyard where the

piece is installed has been extensively used for events including live theater and music over the past 15 years since the new building opened. The Pence approached the city of Davis for support in making this intimate outdoor venue more user-friendly, and the screen will help to make a backdrop for performances. Downtown Davis is in short supply of small performance venues, and the cityâ€™s arts and culture manager Rachel Hartsough has worked with several of the business and property owners adjacent to the Pence courtyard to activate this space. â€œIf youâ€™ve ever been to a show or event in the courtyard behind the Pence, you

know that itâ€™s a really special place,â€? Hartsough said. â€œThe city is very pleased to support Roma Devanbuâ€™s â€˜Our Garden.â€™ Not only is it a striking piece of public art, but it provides a functional public-safety solution, it enables the Pence to earn much-needed revenue from this great part of their space and it addresses an identified need in the downtown, which can ultimately support our small businesses and restaurants.â€? Translating Devanbuâ€™s design into metal was challenging. Initially, no one would take on the project due to the complexity and scale of the design. It measures

Nigerian American artist will give Thiebaud Endowed Lecture Virtual talk celebrates 100th birthday of professor emeritus BY JEFFREY DAY Special to The Enterprise Njideka Akunyili Crosby, whose art negotiates the cultural terrain between her adopted home in the United States and her native Nigeria through collage and photo transfer-based paintings, will give the seventh annual Betty Jean and Wayne Thiebaud Endowed Lecture at UC Davis at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12. This yearâ€™s online free lecture celebrates art Professor Emeritus Wayne Thiebaudâ€™s 100th birthday on Nov. 16. To register, go to arts.ucdavis.edu/event/njidekaakunyili-crosby. Akunyili Crosby is a recipient of a 2017 MacArthur Fellowship; a 2020 Carnegie Corporation â€œGreat Immigrant, Great Americanâ€? Award; a Financial Timesâ€™ 2016 Women of the Year award;

and a 2019 African Art Award. Drawing on political, personal and art historical references, Akunyili Crosby creates densely layered, figurative compositions focused on interiors and everyday scenes that reflect the complexity of contemporary experience, her own cross-cultural experiences and Nigeriaâ€™s thorny history. The artworks showing families watching television, friends socializing, couples sharing intimate moments, or lone figures lost in thought are constructed of family portraits, snapshots and images from Nigerian movies, advertisements and history. â€œIâ€™m mining my life to tell a story that is global,â€? she said in an interview with the MacArthur Foundation. Akunyili Crosby has had recent solo exhibitions at the National Portrait Gallery in London and the Baltimore Museum of Art. She also has participated in La Biennale di Venezia and in exhibitions at the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art and the MusĂŠe dâ€™Art Moderne in Paris. Her artworks are in the

collections of the Museum of Modern Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Studio Museum in Harlem and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. In early 2021, she will have a solo exhibition at the Yale Centre for British Art in New Haven, Conn., that will also be shown at the Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens in San Marino. She is represented by the David Zwirner gallery in New York. Akunyili Crosby came to the United States at 16, took her first painting class at a community college, and didnâ€™t decide to major in art until her final year at Swarthmore College, where she initially studied pre-med. She earned her masterâ€™s degree in fine arts at Yale University. She lives in Los Angeles. The Betty Jean and Wayne Thiebaud Endowed Lecture honors the Thiebaudsâ€™ longstanding commitment to educating the eye and hand along with the mind. Betty Jean Thiebaud, a filmmaker and teacher, and

‘The Witches’ casts a weak spell in sloppy adaptation This classic ‘The Witches’ children’s book is ill-served Starring: Octavia BY DERRICK BANG Enterprise film critic HBO Max is offering an unusual take on Roald Dahl’s “The Witches.” Transplanting a Dahl tale from his native England to Alabama is akin to suddenly insisting that James Bond hails from California. The disconnect is jarring, and the absence of Dahl’s distinctly British tone is keenly felt. That said, if an international order of witches wishes to eradicate all the world’s children, it certainly makes sense that such enchanters would travel. Ergo, why not the rural Alabama town of Demopolis? Indeed, location isn’t an issue in director Robert Zemeckis’ handling of Dahl’s creepycrawly fantasy; the major problem is the script’s reliance on sight gags and special effects, over plot logic, continuity and plain ol’ common sense. I’m frankly surprised. The writing chores are handled by Zemeckis, Guillermo del Toro — who certainly understands wellplotted fantasy structure — and Kenya Barris. The latter, best known for television work such as “America’s Top Model” and “Black-ish,” may be the reason this film too frequently sinks into sitcom-style slapstick, rather than attempting to emulate Dahl’s mordant British wit. The story is told via flashback and introduced during what appears to be a classroom slide show by an off-camera presenter (Chris Rock’s always distinctive voice and cadence). We then slide back to 1967 …

Spencer, Anne Hathaway, Jahzir Bruno, Stanley Tucci, Codie-Lei Eastick, Chris Rock and Kristin Chenoweth Rating: PG, for scary images and fantasy frights

… where our young protagonist (Jahzir Bruno) has come to live with his Grandma (Octavia Spencer), following the tragic death of his parents. When the boy — never given a name — reports an unsettling encounter with an oddly dressed woman, Grandma springs into action and takes them on a “vacation” to the seaside Grand Orleans Imperial Island Hotel. Turns out Grandma has dealt with witches before, and cautions her grandson about what to watch for. Witches always wear gloves, even when it’s hot outside; their nostrils are larger than most; they wear wigs to hide their bald heads; they don’t have any toes; and — the ookiest detail — their elongated mouths can stretch to their ears. Alas, Grandma and her young companion have abandoned the frying pan, only to wind up in the fire. The hotel also is hosting a gathering of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children … whose exclusively female members actually are all witches, led by the Grand High Witch (Anne Hathaway). She has called this meeting in order to demonstrate her just-perfected potion, which she tests on the unsuspecting Bruno Jenkins (Codie Lei Eastick), a

While her mouse-ifed grandson and two similarly magicked mice companions watch hopefully, Grandma (Octavia Spencer) carefully blends the ingredients for a counter-spell designed to return them to human form. hotel guest along with his overly indulgent parents (Charles Edwards and Morgana Robinson). As introduced, Bruno is an obnoxious, gluttonous brat apparently inspired by Augustus Gloop, from “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” How strange, then, that — once transformed into a mouse — Bruno suddenly becomes kind, sympathetic and heroic (if still constantly hungry). That’s just sloppy writing. Our young hero, having witnessed this magical makeover, becomes the second victim; he and his new rodent companion race back to Grandma, where — being able to talk — they’re able to apprise her of the situation. So: Can one feisty senior citizen and two little mice successfully tackle the Grand High Witch and her 50 (!) glamorous witch companions? Oops, make that three

little mice. In this film’s most glaring, out-of-leftfield revelation, it turns out that our young hero’s apparently ordinary pet white mouse, Daisy, also can talk (in Kristin Chenoweth’s equally distinctive voice), having been witchified at some previous point in time. Uh-huh. Spencer tries hard, but she can’t keep up with her character’s shifts in tone and behavior. She’s warmly persuasive as a tough but doting grandmother — “the kind that wouldn’t hesitate to give a spanking if you deserved it, or a big ol’ hug if you needed it” — but less convincing as a witch hunter. (One wonders when, where and how she developed such skills.) Hathaway, on the other hand, is wonderfully overthe-top as the Grand High Witch; her baroque flourishes, Shakespearean eloquence, sinister glances

and predatory smiles are effectively creepy. And it’s quite chilling, each time the latter do indeed stretch bloodily from ear to ear. None of the other witches makes an impression. They’re all ciphers, aside from costume; one seems Irish, one French, one Spanish, and one Italian. The rest are nameless and faceless. Bruno’s parents have more personality, and that’s not saying much. Stanley Tucci is completely wasted in his supporting performance, as the fussy, fastidious hotel manager. We keep expecting him to do something significant — anything — but it never happens. Similarly, despite the Grand High Witch’s repeated reference to how she and her entourage all hate garlic — a hammeredupon detail that Seems Significant — this also never amounts to anything. And why, pray tell, does

the Grand High Witch suddenly lose faith in her black cat familiar? The best work comes from Visual Effects Supervisor Keven Baillie, who does marvelous things with those witch mouths, and their toe-less feet, and claw-like hands extending from arms able to stretch hideously long distances. The mice also are brought to life quite convincingly. But that’s scarcely enough on which to hang your attention. At best, Zemeckis’ film is colorful, fast-paced and reasonably entertaining … but also quite flawed. Folks seeking a film version of Dahl’s book will find director Nicolas Roeg’s 1990 adaptation far more satisfying. — Read more of Derrick Bang’s film criticism at http://derrickbang. blogspot.com.

and we are grateful for her dedication and creative energy that went into producing ‘Our Garden.’ It’s a lasting legacy that enhances the outside courtyard for other arts groups, as well as Davis residents and visitors. “We are also so pleased to have the support of the city of Davis Arts & Cultural Affairs Fund, and the help of Pence members Kit and Bonnie Lam also was essential in making this dream a reality.” As Devanbu stated, “For artists to grow and bloom fully, and for their work to reach and be enjoyed by others, welcoming spaces and

opportunities need to be there.” The Pence will invite the community and sponsors to celebrate the installation of this piece at a later date and to meet the artist. More information on Roma Devanbu and her work can be found at Roma.devanbu. com. The piece, behind the Pence building at 212 D St., is always visible for members of the public to view, and they will have the opportunity to learn more about the artist and its fabrication through scanning a QR code on a smartphone, which links to a video about the artist.

Davis High presents new radio play ‘The Zero Hour’ Special to The Enterprise Davis High Drama presents its first of three short radio plays. Just in time for Halloween, this show follows a script from the Suspense Radio Program that ran in the ’40s and ’50s. This sci-fi thriller is adapted from a Ray Bradbury short story, “The Zero

Hour,” and will keep listeners on the edge of their seats. With original studentwritten music and studentcreated ads supporting local businesses, the drama department hopes to create a brief screen-free diversion that brings everyone back to a time when families huddled around the

radio waiting for their favorite program — like an oldy-timey Netflix binge. The recording can be accessed through Saturday, Nov. 7, at https://sites. google.com/view/davis hightheatre. There is no cost, and the running time is about 25 minutes.

Recording and editing for “The Terra Show” are, clockwise from top left, Jordan Brownlee, Elyse Sharp, Simon Santos and Melissa Cunha.

The Woodland Opera House presents “Boo!!!!,” an evening of scary stories from nationally renowned tellers, at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 30, and 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 31. Hosted By Rodger McDonald, these spooky tales should help get the audience into the Halloween spirit.

Tickets are $10 for individuals per device (computer, phone or tablet) or $20 per device for families or groups. There is also an option to make an additional donation to the theater. Participating tellers are McDonald, Angela James, Patricia Glass, Brandon Spars and Jeff Gere. For more information and tickets, visit woodlandoperahouse.org.

‘Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure’ is live on Oct. 31 Special to The Enterprise Acme Theatre Company’s first production this fall, “Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure” by Steven Dietz, is live on Zoom at 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 31. The world’s greatest detective has seemingly

reached the end of his remarkable career when a case presents itself that is too tempting to ignore: The king of Bohemia is about to be blackmailed by a notorious photograph, and the woman at the heart of this crime is the famous opera singer, Irene Adler.

Join in for this final exploit full of danger, intrigue, wit, humor and surprise. There is a suggested donation of $10 to watch the show, but it is not required. For more information, visit acmetheatre.net.

Special to The Enterprise Bike City Theatre Company is proud to present “The Terra Show,” a radio play by Jordan Brownlee. “The Terra Show” launched this past Tuesday, and is available to listen to for free online at bikecity theatre.org. Brownlee’s second piece in Bike City Theatre Company’s online theater series, Radio Tuesdays follows Terra, a vampire turned home decorator and the host of a successful daytime crafts and cooking show a la Martha Stewart. Live from Transylvania, her Halloween-prep episode features an up-and-coming werewolf and some delightfully gruesome undead decorating skills. You may recognize Brownlee’s work from his first radio play with BCTC, “Andy Pitchem.” In addition, his voice acting talents have been featured on several installments of Radio Tuesdays. Brownlee made his Bike City acting debut in “Light The Way: a Bike Safety Musical,” and has since acted and written for various Bike City sketches and radio plays.

Born and raised in San Diego, California, Brownlee is an award-winning impressionist who has lent his voice to several short films, award ceremonies and “The Empty Iris” on Amazon Prime Video. He has trained with the Muppet performers of “Sesame Street,” and has since trained other Bike City actors to operate puppets. While radio theater has been the bulk of their work during the pandemic, readers can see some of Bike City Theatre Company’s actors live (from a distance) in the upcoming Zombie Bike Ride on Halloween, partnered with Davis Odd Fellows and The Bike Campaign. Maps with locations of the zombies are available at zombiebikeparade.com. Radio Tuesdays are supported by a city of Davis Community Arts grant. For more information, follow Bike City Theatre Company on Facebook, Instagram @bikecitytheatre, and sign up for the mailing list on their website. Listen to “The Terra Show” now at bikecitytheatre. org. Note: Plays aired on “Radio Tuesdays” may contain adult material.

Davis School Arts Foundation funds art boxes for fifth-grade students Special to The Enterprise Davis School Arts Foundation is collaborating with Davis Arts Center and Davis Joint Unified School District to provide Art Kits for all fifth-grade students throughout the district. This onetime block grant, estimated at $40,000, will take the place of the

foundation’s usual grant program for the 2020-21 school year. Kits will be delivered directly to all fifth-grade students, accompanied by printed lessons and backed up by video support. The distribution will be through each school site’s existing materials pickup system. Classroom teachers, science

teachers and other artists will also receive kits so they have the option of developing projects and sharing them throughout the school year. Art Kits and lessons can be incorporated into online lessons with teachers. The art activities will build on one another, including art history, technique and

cultural diversity. Thet will also include singalong videos with local artists. The songs will be from a variety of cultures and genres, with closed captioning included. Availability is targeted for January. Future collaboration may include the development of an online dance curriculum for all

students through sixth grade. This portion of the project requires additional funding. Anyone interested in supporting DSAF-funded projects may donate at https://davisschoolarts foundation.org. Questions can be sent to DSAFstudio@gmail.com, attention Lorraine Visher, DSAF president.

COVID-19 Halloween tips Dear Annie: I don’t know what to do about my husband anymore. I am just about to lose it with him. He’s always calling me bad names, and I’ve noticed him leering at my sister many times. Whenever I call him out on it, he gets aggressive and it becomes a big argument. He tells me I should just leave. I am really getting tired of this mistreatment. It’s always something, every week. Yet, whenever I’ve prepared to leave, he’s tried to smooth things over with me, for the sake of appearances. I feel so unwanted and unhappy, but I know that I’m not in the wrong. What should I do? — Desperate in Denver

ANNOUNCEMENT

GRAND OPENING ZMC Cabinets Outlet

Huge Cabinet Sale! Located at 3232 Reed Ave. West Sacramento, CA www.ZMCCabinetry.com ZMCCabinetsOutlet@gmail.com 279.444.0349 916.385.9513

Dear Desperate: First and foremost, I must say that if your husband’s insults constitute verbal abuse, reach out to the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233. If his behavior is inconsiderate but not abusive, then I encourage you to attend marriage counseling. I only have a vague picture of the situation based on your letter, but it’s clear that you two aren’t communicating well. Marriage counseling can offer a neutral space in which you can both learn

not just how to express yourselves but how to better listen to each other. Dear Annie: Here are some tips to help keep yourself, your family and your neighborhood safe during this time, while still celebrating this whimsical time of year. 1. Get the facts. Brush up on the CDC Halloween guidelines (yes, the CDC has guidelines, and no, your Halloween mask does not replace your normal mask). Educate yourself on the safest ways to proceed for your household. The CDC lists activities from lowest risk to highest risk. You’ll find some of their ideas in this list. 2. Know the safest alternatives: If you want to be as safe as possible, consider alternative inhome-only activities for your entire household. Coordinate a virtual costume party with your friends. Host a Zoom pumpkin

carving event with the people you would normally invite over. Decorate sugar cookies and watch your favorite Halloween movies at home. Host a virtual event where each friend brings a scary story to share. 3. Avoid the front door. COVID-19 spreads when people “share the air” and having kids walk up to your front door is an easy way to “share the air” and put yourself at risk. Instead, do the candy transactions or other activities out in the open, where there’s air circulation. Get creative blocking off areas where you don’t want people. Use ropes and spiderwebs, chains and even lawn furniture with skeletons in it. Make it clear visually where you want people to go.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2020 B5 4. Distance candy distribution: Placing candy into a kid’s trickor-treat bag by hand means you’re close enough to get or spread COVID-19. So, how do you avoid this? There are some creative solutions to get candy to kids from a distance. Some families are making a candy chute that spits candy out from a distance. Test it first to make sure you get it just right. As a last resort, you might place a large candy bowl at the front of your driveway and stay inside. It’s not going to help the kids socially distanced from each other, but it should keep them from coming to your door. — Vanessa Alvarez of Nexme Dear Vanessa: It’s a tricky year for handing out treats. I appreciate these tips for doing so safely and the creative ideas of alternate activities.
