Yolo County killers get money in massive EDD scheme BY LAUREN KEENE Enterprise staff writer Three convicted Yolo County murderers — including a sheriff ’s deputy’s killer condemned to death row — are among tens of thousands of California inmates who unlawfully received pandemic unemployment benefits in
their names under a statewide scam believed to have cost taxpayers as much as $1 billion. “We believe this is the largest fraud of California taxpayers ever uncovered,” Yolo County District Attorney Jeff Reisig said Tuesday, just hours after four California district attorneys and a U.S. attorney held a news conference
detailing the fraud scheme they described as “offensive” and “staggering.” Tuesday’s revelation has put the state’s already-beleaguered Employment Development Department back in the hot seat. In addition to its dysfunctional response to the coronavirus pandemic, it’s earning new criticism
for failing to cross-check the names of unemployment applicants against those of California prison inmates, even though similar efforts are being made in 35 other states. According to Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert, that comparison wasn’t made until early November,
Back on the hardwood UCD women win, men lose as surreal season begins

Enterprise sports editor They’re playing. They’re really playing! After a three-week delay in deference to the threat of the coronavirus, the NCAA gave its schools the green light to open the basketball season on Wednesday. And both UC Davis teams were in action in a couple of competitive games with mixed results.

Project Roomkey finds housing for 61 people BY ANNE TERNUS-BELLAMY
BY BRUCE GALLAUDET
In season that seems destined to find its way around and through the ongoing pandemic, the UC Davis women’s basketball season got under way on Wednesday. And, at least on the court, things are promising in Aggie Nation ... With all five starters finishing in double digits, UCD managed an uneven 82-75 victory over visiting San Francisco — even if no one was watching. As strict protection protocols against the spread of COVID-19 dictated no fans in attendance, social distancing among bench players, game-support personnel and media as well as long-range postgame interviews, the product on the court looked ever so familiar. Using myriad different

Sixty-one formerly homeless Yolo County residents have found permanent housing thanks to Project Roomkey, a collaborative effort aimed at providing safe shelter during the pandemic. All told, 533 homeless individuals were assisted between March 16 and Nov. 17, the county reported last week, with an average stay in local motels of 92 nights per person. The partnership between the Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency; the cities of Davis, West Sacramento and Woodland; as well as other agencies and nonprofits began by providing motel rooms and case management to medically vulnerable homeless residents in order to protect them from contracting COVID-19. Nine motels throughout the county participated, including several in Davis. “While Project Roomkey was never intended to be a permanent housing solution,” the county said in a press release, “the program’s increased stability
and access to case management services has resulted in over 61 permanent housing transitions to date, with clients moving into both market rate and subsidized apartments, room and boards, and some reuniting permanently with family.” Throughout the program, CommuniCare Health Center provided a mobile medicine team funded through Dignity Health in partnership with Woodland Clinic Medical Group and Sutter Health. The team provided 1,340 unique visits through mid October and conducted multiple COVID-19 tests on site when clients appeared symptomatic. “In the midst of a pandemic, this project has been a shining example of what can occur when those most in need are supported through a collaborative effort from providers, cities, and the county,” said Yolo County’s Homeless Program Coordinator Nadia Waggener. “Yolo County’s Project Roomkey has become a model to the state, and a success story for community-supported

Well, one of them has to win today “I can’t believe it’s that time of year again. The one week of the year that I dread more than any other. The week when I feel as if the weight of the world is upon my shoulders. Yes, it is Big Game Week, the annual football frenzy that takes places in Berkeley Friday afternoon when Cal entertains Stanford to determine Bay Area pigskin supremacy.” I wrote those very words last year and the year before that and the year before that and who knows how many other previous times. I use those words over and over again because they’re true. Except that the location changes back and forth every year. I have issued a Big Game forecast every fall since the day I was born up north in Portland, where the natives think it’s more than presumptuous to call any game between two California schools “The Big Game.”
the record books to prove me wrong, but since I had destroyed all previous issues of The Davis Enterprise from that date each year, no one could prove me wrong. But now I have to live with my lie unless I am somehow able to call today’s game correctly.
In Oregon, in fact, they have something called the Civil War, also today, matching the state’s two major football powers, Oregon and Oregon State. Only the game’s longstanding title was sacked like a woozy quarterback earlier this year out of concern that it could cause further division in our already divided country. Unfortunately, one year while issuing my Big Game forecast, I made a Trump-like claim that my forecast in every previous season had always been correct. That sent a number of folks to
T
his week brings out the kind of passion that requires all football prognosticators worth their salt to issue a prediction. Only a 97-pound weakling would refuse to do so. The really weird thing here is that this year both Stanford and Cal enter The Big Game winless for the first time in the game’s history, which began in 1892 before anyone currently on the Earth had even been born. Even weirder is the fact this is the Friday after Thanksgiving, the very weekend when the regular
season usually ends, and both teams have played but two games. Yes, you guessed it, both are 0-2. And as strange and desperate as it might seem, the loser of today’s game will still be winless entering the month of December. The horror. So I ask you, how can a game between two winless teams, both of which are so bad that Cal’s Memorial Stadium will be entirely devoid of fans, be possibly called The Big Game. It’s now simply Just Another Game. The reason you usually play these rivalry games at the end of the season is to provide a chance for redemption for one or the other of these teams should they have a particularly bad season. Now they’re playing just so one team can finally claim a victory. Take the Bears, 24-21. — Reach Bob Dunning at bdunning@davisenterprise.
UC Davis iGEM team takes home gold medal Spore_core aims for fungal respect BY ALEJANDRA WILSON Special to The Enterprise Team Spore_core won a gold medal for UC Davis in this year’s iGEM competition for its bioinformatics work in filamentous fungi. iGEM, which stands for “International Genetically Engineered Machine,” is an international synthetic biology competition in which each team must design its own project that relates to synthetic biology. Past UC Davis iGEM team projects have included Zorya, Cenozoic and OliView, which won the grand prize in 2014.
This year, the UC Davis team took advantage of lab shutdowns to develop a completely online project. Their project name, Spore_core, is a reference to filamentous fungi, which are multicellular organisms in contrast to unicellular fungi like yeasts. Team member and head of videography Jason Hu explained the importance of filamentous fungi as follows: “Filamentous fungi have been an expansive source of valuable compounds in the past. Despite this, they are understudied when compared to research organisms.” As Hyde et. al. put it in their paper “The amazing potential of fungi: 50 ways we can exploit fungi industrially,” “Although fungi have so many potential uses, research on their

potential applications is in general poorly funded and much of the research that is being carried out in academia is fundamental, even in areas that belong to the fields of biotechnology and applied mycology.” Especially pressing to researchers is the lack of biological tools available for the genetic manipulation of this class of organisms. To address this problem, team Spore_core developed a set of software tools for the identification of transcription factor binding sites in specific regions of the genomes of filamentous fungi, called biosynthetic gene clusters. Describing the importance of identifying transcription factor binding sites, Hu said, “Transcription factor binding sites are essential as they are the
places where the transcription factor binds to and recruits the machinery for RNA polymerase. No binding site means no gene expression.” Using publicly available fungal genomes provided by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Joint Genome Institute, the team designed a series of programs that could identify transcription factor binding sites solely using computers. Team head of data analysis Daniel Labolle said, “Computational identification makes the process of discovery faster and cheaper. With this method, one person can identify thousands of candidate sites in just hours as opposed to a whole team taking months or even years.” After obtaining proof of
concept and identifying 14 binding sites, the team has made its software available to other researchers via their public Github repository. For the next steps going forward, the team hopes to validate its findings experimentally and refine the program to identify even more binding sites in the future. From head of software development Lily Karim, “With this result, UC Davis was able to establish that an entirely computational method of motif discovery using the promoter sequences of BGCs was indeed possible and could be used to rapidly and inexpensively expand the database of fungal genetic parts.” — Republished from the Aggie Transcript

Do mangoes reduce women’s wrinkles? BY AMY QUINTON Special to The Enterprise Mangoes, like other orange fruits and vegetables, are rich in betacarotene and provide antioxidants that may delay cell damage. A new study from researchers at UC Davis finds eating Ataulfo mangoes, also known as honey or Champagne mangoes, may have another benefit — reducing facial wrinkles in older women with fairer skin. The study was published in the journal Nutrients. Postmenopausal women who ate half a cup of Ataulfo mangoes four times a week saw a 23 percent decrease in deep wrinkles after two months and a 20 percent decrease after four months. “That’s a significant improvement in wrinkles,” said lead author Vivien Fam, a doctoral student in the UC Davis Department of Nutrition. But the findings are very specific and come with a caveat. “Women who ate a cup and a half of mangoes for the same periods of time saw an increase in wrinkles. This shows that while some mango may be good for skin health, too much of it may not be,” Fam said. Researchers said it’s unclear why consuming more mango would increase the severity of wrinkles but speculate that it may be related to a robust amount of sugar in the larger portion of mangoes.
Quantifiable results The randomized clinical pilot study involved 28 postmenopausal women with Fitzpatrick skin types II or III (skin that burns more easily than tans). Women were divided into two groups: one group consumed a half cup of mangoes four times a week for four months, and another consumed a cup and a half for the same period of time. Facial wrinkles were evaluated using a high-resolution camera system. “The system we used to analyze wrinkles allowed us to not just visualize wrinkles, but to quantify and measure wrinkles,” said Robert Hackman, a professor in the department of nutrition and corresponding author of the study. “This is extremely accurate and allowed us to capture more than just the appearance of wrinkles or what the eye might see.” The study looked at the severity, length and width of fine, deep and emerging wrinkles. Fam said the group that consumed a half cup of mangoes saw improvements in all categories. Fam said further research is needed to learn the mechanisms behind the reduction in wrinkles. She said it may be due to the beneficial effects of carotenoids (orange or red plant pigments), and other phytonutrients that could help build collagen. Other authors, all from UC Davis, include Roberta Holt, Department of Nutrition; Carl Keen, departments of nutrition and internal medicine; and Raja Sivaman, department of dermatology. Research support came from the National Mango Board.

Lots of animals are waiting for “forever homes” at the Yolo County Animal Shelter, 2640 E. Gibson Road in Woodland. Among them is Sally (A184171), a 7-year-old female cat with a booming purr and a huge need for lots of love and attention. She is a super sweetheart who will do well in a home with another calm cat. She would also be fine by herself so she can have all the attention. Also hoping for a good home is Meatball (A183178), a 6-year-old pit bull terrier. He is a giant goofball that has no idea of his size. He happily gets along with some dogs but is still learning how to play nicely with new friends. Meatball is working on his leash manners and walking with ease. Meatball will do well in a family committed to continuing his training. To meet Sally or Meatball or any adoptable YCAS pet, contact adoptycas@gmail.com. All shelter animals are upto-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.
At Rotts of Friends Animal Rescue, you’ll find Hurricane, a 10week-old male Jack Russell terrier mix. He and his sister Windy are both looking for wonderful loving homes. They are up-todate on vaccines. Rotts will cover the cost of having its vet spay or neuter and microchip them when they are old enough. They come with free lifetime obedience training classes. Mars is an adorable 3-month-old neutered male American shorthair kitten. He comes up-to-date on vaccines and microchipped. Mars is a silly goofball who will keep you smiling. He would be great company during these stayat-home times. The next Rotts of Friends’ adoption event is from 8 to 11 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 28, at 34505 County Road 29 in Woodland. Come by 10 a.m., as it takes at least an hour to meet and adopt a dog; everyone who will be living with the dog should come out to meet it. Bring proof of home ownership, such as a mortgage statement or property tax bill. If you rent, please bring proof that you are allowed to have a dog.

The holiday season sometimes arrives with a frenetic pace. At the dawn of the holiday season, there seems to be so much to fit into a relatively short period of time, including planning celebrations and shopping. The rush often begins the Friday after Thanksgiving on a day called Black Friday. Plaid Friday was born out of a recognition that the frenzied nature of Black Friday may not be for everyone. The event was created in Oakland to transform holiday shopping for family and friends into a more connected, pleasurable activity than Black Friday. Plaid Friday promotes the

It’s time to break up utilities Initiatives for T an economic recovery BY JULIE A. SU Special to CalMatters
I
n times of economic crisis and high unemployment, we often hear “any job is a good job.” But, is it? Even before the pandemic, during California’s record-breaking 120 months of economic growth, one-third of California’s workers made less than $15 an hour, with workers of color disproportionately represented in these low-wage jobs. Put another way, jobs were exacerbating racial inequality, and too few Californians had a good job. The pandemic exposed and accelerated these inequities. We must do better. Being a part of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Task Force on Business and Jobs Recovery, I got to work with more than 100 of California’s and the nation’s top minds to develop initiatives for a strong economic recovery for all. Our recently released report embraces the fundamental truth that a strong and resilient economy must have equity at its core — prioritizing communities too long left behind, who are now the ones most affected by COVID-19 and the pandemic-induced recession. The health of our economy, like the health of our families and communities, relies on us recovering together. This is why California adopted the first-inthe-nation health equity metric, where counties are evaluated not just on overall COVID-19 rates but on their success in preventing and mitigating the spread among the most vulnerable Californians. This is why we have focused on investment in our youth. Studies show the devastating impact on young people, particularly youth of color, who come of age during times of high unemployment and economic recession. In the short term, they encounter more competition for limited jobs. But even more distressing, they face lower lifetime earnings, decreased retirement savings and even lower mortality rates. To secure their future and ours, we are launching a multi-pronged effort focused on job creation, training and experience, professional networks and leadership opportunities for young Californians who face the greatest barriers to employment.
W
ith every policy priority, there is an opportunity to invest in California businesses and workers by creating more quality jobs. With the Task Force’s guidance, Newsom accelerated the transition to a lowcarbon economy by setting requirements for zero-emissions vehicles. In addition to addressing climate change, this action is a chance to create thousands of high-quality, well-paying jobs in manufacturing, green energy technology and related changes in how we live and move. This will be a huge economic boost for families and communities; quality jobs put hardearned money in the pockets of middle- and lower-income workers who invest those dollars back into the economy when they pay their bills, buy groceries and support local businesses. These priorities, and others in the report, are models for the nation. California can emerge as a more just and prosperous state, with higher-wage, stable jobs and high-road, resilient businesses. This starts with improving the jobs we have and expanding quality jobs in growth industries. We know employers want a well-trained and competitive workforce and that businesses reap the benefits of investments in their workers many times over in greater retention and employee satisfaction. The task force’s initiatives expand our economic recovery and help people achieve their fair share in the economy, increasing consumer spending and shortening the pandemicinduced recession. But the measure of the task force’s impact extends beyond the ideas generated. The trust and relationships built are arguably just as important. The crises of our time will not be met by government alone, nor by any one sector working in isolation. The task force embodies California at our best — working together, challenging one another, leaning into rather than running from the hardest problems, and setting our sights high. Workers deserve nothing less, and their well-being will define the health of the economy we build. — Julie A. Su is the Secretary for the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency, Communications@labor.ca.gov.
he most annoying part of living in the myriad potential wildfire areas around California lately has been a series of PSPS’s (public safety power shutdowns) imposed by companies like PG&E, Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric. The stoppages, sometimes lasting as long as three days, are plain acknowledgements from the companies that their equipment and their maintenance practices are unsafe, inadequate to protect individuals from harm and possible death. This renders service provided by the companies unreliable. Yet, no one seriously threatens the survival or monopolies of these companies, which admit they’ve killed upwards of 100 people over the last three years, while not one of their executives has served a single minute in jail for their destructive decisions. The bulk of the admitted deaths came in the 2018 Camp Fire which incinerated the city of Paradise in Butte County. PG&E pleaded guilty this year to manslaughter charges for 85 deaths. There could have been more such guilty pleas in other places, but no district attorney outside Butte County has brought criminal charges against any of the utilities or their executives. Yes, there have been penalties. Most famously, PG&E
S
o PG&E is not only failing to tell key customers far enough in advance when power cutoffs are coming, it also has not notably increased safety, despite all its at-fault fires of the last four years. There is no such monitor for Edison or SDG&E, but Edison admitted its power lines likely caused two large October blazes in Orange County. All of which leads some to believe it’s high time Gov. Gavin Newsom activates a law known as SB 350, which he signed June 30, authorizing the state to take over and/or force the selloff of parts of utility companies failing to discharge their duties. These companies have done precisely that. They cut off power when it suits them. They do not compensate victims of those shutoffs, customers sometimes paying for electricity they never get. So far, Newsom does not
take seriously the notion of breaking up any utility, even PG&E. When this question arose during an October news conference, Newsom claimed PSPS notifications are improved. “It’s a different day,” he said. “But we do have the ability to take (PG&E) over. We now have oversight and safety committees.” He did not respond to the questions of why utilities should be allowed to keep deciding how and when to warn customers and when to do shutoffs. Nor did he respond to one customer who complained that “Every time I pay my electric bill, I feel like I’m helping a murderer.” Others are ready and waiting to take over parts of PG&E. The many relatively new publicly-owned community choice aggregation outfits around the state, for example, would love to take over power lines they now must rent. It’s time Newsom took this seriously. If he does not, he can expect his inaction to be used against him when he seeks reelection in 2022. — Email Thomas Elias at tdelias@aol.com.

LETTERS Bicycle thefts Our family had another bicycle stolen today in Davis, in plain view, broad daylight in a public space. How many of our bikes have been stolen here in town? I couldn’t even say as we have lost track of the number. We have learned from experience not to call the Davis Police, as they are totally unhelpful in these situations. However, the timing of this theft today was different. It had just happened within the last 10 minutes. The thieves left the front wheel behind, so they may be carrying it. Perhaps if the Davis PD could let their cars know to keep an eye out for someone carrying an orange bike around we could catch the thief? What was I thinking? Walk home and fill out a form on the internet was the reply. Goodbye bike. OK, bike theft is not a violent crime. It is however a major part of criminal activity in Davis, amounting to millions of dollars in thefts. It is perhaps the type of crime most likely to impact us in town. Yet the Davis PD does nothing. I propose the city take away a significant part of the budget allocated for Davis PD and use it to fund a bicycle security and safety organization that will take responsibility for ameliorating bike theft in town. Some things they could do: create an instant bike theft social media platform for community response to theft, institute a bait-bike program to bust thieves, have a person who scours second-hand bike shops and online bike parts sites for stolen bikes. We are not helpless to bike theft and our community should take it upon ourselves to deal with the problem. Jesse Drew Davis
want to talk about.” It is reported that he has not attended a COVID task force meeting in five months and counting. And now his aversion to reality is going to hold up the distribution of the newly discovered vaccines, by refusing to ensure a smooth transition. Would it kill him to simply say something like, “Folks, please take this seriously and wear masks whenever it’s called for without complaining. It’s your patriotic duty to follow the guidelines of the CDC as close as you can. Please socially distance as much as you practically can”? It turns out that donations to his legal fund to fight the election results go mostly into his pocket. All donations under $8,000 go into a special fund, that you just know he is pillaging to pay off his copious debts. Talk about suckers and losers. I am morbidly fascinated to see how this all plays out by Jan. 20. Gabe Lewin Davis

went through bankruptcy and paid billions of dollars in cash and stock to a trust representing many of its victims. The company’s board of directors was cashiered and replaced. But some top executives escaped with golden parachutes worth millions of dollars to go along with their guilty consciences. Now come two further authoritative condemnations of the companies, especially PG&E. In one, the ratepayer advocacy division of the state Public Utilities Commission recommended fining the company $167 million for its poor communication with customers about impending shutdowns aimed at preventing new fires. Said one division lawyer, “When a utility fails to provide hospitals, fire departments and people with medical conditions with adequate warning of its decision to execute a shutoff, it is endangering lives.” This doesn’t appear to bother PG&E, according to the Chicago-based law firm monitoring the company’s legally required attempts to
make power lines and transformers safer. The monitor’s report noted that PG&E’s safety effort has been worse in 2020 than before. “The monitor team has not seen a meaningful improvement in the quality of work (on vegetation trimming),” said the report from the Kirkland & Ellis law firm. “On a per-mile basis, (we are) finding more missed trees in 2020 than…in…2019.”

Sports has been a good distraction during COVID, and I’ve really enjoyed portions of Doug Kelly’s weekly “Off the Top of the Wall” segment. However, I’ve noticed each week over the past few months, he likes to throw in one or two political jabs. In one article, he promoted Trump for speaking to the Big Ten commissioner about revisiting the spring football calendar. This week, however, Kelly chose to go after Gov. Gavin Newson on two bullet

points. In both cases, he doesn’t call out Newsom, he skirts the issue. Why do politicians think the general public won’t notice when everyone has a camera and wonder if our politicians will observe the curfew? Doug, either stick with sports or start your own conservative column. You shouldn’t try both. Paul Welch Davis
Help the hungry I am very concerned about the increase in hunger during this pandemic. Less than half of families with children are “very confident” they can afford to put food on the table this holiday season according to the latest Census Bureau research. People are being forced to choose between rent and groceries. Some leaders in Congress are ignoring this hidden hunger crisis, dragging their feet on any food assistance for families. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly Food Stamps) is our nation’s first line of defense against hunger. And it helps our economy recover — every $1 in new SNAP spending creates $1.50 to $1.80 in economic activity. There has been some bipartisan support in Congress to increase SNAP benefits during this crisis. I urge our members of Congress to resume COVID relief negotiations now and quickly pass legislation that increases the maximum SNAP benefit by 15 percent. James Dawson Davis

TREE: A tradition for five decades From Page A1 three years ago. This is the elder Lovitt’s first season in charge of organizing the tree lot. “I became reacquainted with Scouting when my son joined Troop 111,” Lovitt, a former Boy Scout himself, told The Enterprise. “I got involved, as adults do, in helping bring certain skills and whatever we have to help out where we can.” It was a snap for the construction contractor to get the tree-support stanchions, lighting and fencing up for this year’s event. Five Davis troops and one crew are participating. Troops 66, 466, 139, 111, Crew 66 and all-girls Troop 1625 have supplied the muscle. It will be their members on hand to staff the lot, which is expected to have its gates open by 4 p.m. today. Regular hours for the lot will be 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays with sales from 4 to 8 p.m. on weekdays. Lovitt said social distancing, mask-wearing and other COVID-19-era safeguards will be in place. Additionally, if the lot is too crowded, folks
will be asked to wait in line, separated by at least 6 feet outside the fencing for their turns to explore the holiday forest. For people concerned about venturing out, the Scouts are providing tree delivery. Head to davischrist mastrees.com to place an order. But the pandemic wasn’t the only concern that had area Scouts wringing their hands as the pandemic loomed large. “We order our trees from the same broker based in Oregon each year,” Lovitt pointed out. “He sources our trees with farms in that state. “But the wrinkle that (we had) forgotten about was when the tree guy called me over the summer, saying, “It looks like the trees are going to be OK in the midst of all the fires. “We thought, ‘That’s right. They’re having fires, too.’ ” Starting in April, Oregon — like California — was battling brush and forest fires by the hundreds of thousands of acres. “For a while, there was uncertainty up there about the trees and what lots we’d
be buying from,” Lovitt added. But all is well, and Scouts are expecting three separate deliveries totaling 1,850 trees. About 700 firs will be on hand today. “Our goal was to get more trees a little bit sooner in the season so people don’t come out and find they’ll have to come back because we’re picked over,” Lovitt said. A Davis tradition for more than 50 years, the sale of holiday trees is the Scouts’ biggest annual fundraiser. Lovitt said the Scout troops and crew that are involved will split the proceeds evenly after those kids working the lot get extra “pay” toward the cost of Scouting incidentals. The troops will use the funds to defray the cost of camps, equipment and “big adventure trips,” Lovitt noted. “This has all been very exciting,” he continued. “The big thing about Scouting is it puts young people in opportunities to lead, to become leaders.” More than 200 Davis youths are involved in Scouting. Nationally, Scouts BSA claims 2.2 million members.

HOUSING: Cities adding more beds From Page A1 Housing First approaches to homeless services.” Project Roomkey participants have received support from many local service providers along with local restaurants, the Yolo Food Bank, Love Laundry and several city and county departments. Services are tailored to meet the needs of individual clients and include the following: ■ Aid in applying for Medi-Cal as well as help in understanding qualifications for various benefits such as CalFresh, CalWORK’s, and General Assistance ■ Assistance applying for unemployment insurance and completing housing applications ■ Procurement of medical care, mental health screenings or substance use screening appointments ■ Free COVID-19 testing, as needed While Yolo County has until December to utilize federal CARES Act funding for Project Roomkey, the cities and county are collaborating on longer term options and next steps. The city of Davis has launched the Davis Emergency Shelter project which will be utilizing 25 twobedroom apartments for up to six months. The first clients were moved into the apartments in mid-October and the project will run through April 2021, providing non-congregate
shelter for up to 40 individuals at a time. The project’s target population is elderly and medically vulnerable individuals. Case management and other services are provided onsite. The city of Woodland is opening a new permanent shelter at Road 102 and Beamer Street. The facility is a newly constructed 100 bed shelter that is expected to house up to 70 individuals during the COVID-19 response. Laundry, showers, restrooms, food and a host of services will be available to those onsite, including day services to ensure those staying do not need to leave during the day. Back in April, Yolo County was recognized by Gov. Gavin Newsom for leading the way in providing noncongregate shelter for those experiencing homelessness during the pandemic. The county obtained a $600,000 grant from the County Medical Services Program to cover the initial costs of behavioral health services as well as funding from Dignity Health, in partnership with Woodland Clinic Medical Group and Sutter Health. Additionally the Health and Human Services Agency received a portion of the county’s CARES Act allocation to continue Project Roomkey through December and is working with all involved parties to determine options for sustainable housing and services, including keeping Project Roomkey going past 2020.

SCHEME: ‘All of us need to be really angry about this’ From Page A1 fraudulent claims were filed in inmates’ names, in some cases more than once. Of those, just over 20,000 were approved, resulting in payouts of more than $140 million — including the $600 federal weekly benefit that expired back in July, Schubert said. Reisig said participants include an “all-star list of Yolo County prison inmates,” such as Marco Topete, sentenced to death for the 2008 fatal shooting of Yolo County Sheriff ’s Deputy Tony Diaz; William Gardner, serving life without the possibility of parole for the 2013 shooting death of his ex-girlfriend Leslie Pinkston in Winters; and Oscar Cervantes, the shooter who killed two men and injured two girls in Woodland’s 2002 “Halloween homicides.” Also on the list: 133 death-row inmates including Scott Peterson, convicted of killing his wife Laci and their unborn son in 2002; and Cary Stayner, the so-called “Yosemite Killer” who murdered a mother, her daughter and a
family friend in 1999. Similar fraud is underway in California’s 58 county jails, where the state paid upwards of $10 million in inmates’ names, Schubert added. All told, losses are expected to reach the $1 billion mark. “The fraud is honestly staggering,” Schubert said at Tuesday’s news conference. “It encompasses every type of inmate. … Clearly individuals who are not entitled to these benefits that are so desperately needed by the working families here in this state.” Reisig said his office is in the process of investigating more than 130 state prison inmates from Yolo County who are believed to be involved in the scheme, along with inmates serving time at the county level. His office, along with others across the state, is seeking additional investigative resources from Gov. Gavin Newsom. “This never should have happened,” said Reisig, who serves on a state EDD fraud task force launched in response to the scam. “There has been a massive failure
of process and fraud prevention at the state level.” ———— So how did it happen? Prosecutors say the scam TOPETE went something like this: inmates Convicted cop killer got his from local, state and federal correctional facilities, using their own internet access or with help from friends and relatives on the outside, completed online applications claiming losses of selfemployment income due to the pandemic. Approved applications led to the deliveries of pre-loaded EDD debit cards, some directly to correctional facilities, others to conspirators on the outside — both in California and out of state — who withdrew the cash to enrich both the inmates and themselves. Schubert said while the inmates themselves oftentimes were involved in the fraud, in other cases the false claims may have been the result of identity
theft. Some applications won approval despite the use of false Social Security numbers and names, including one filed under the name of “Pookie Britches.” Details of the fraud came to light back in July, said San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe, when one of his investigators listening to recorded jailhouse calls for a pending case overheard an inmate discussing “a scam that he had heard about.” “We determined there were 22 individuals who had pulled this scam off,” both from inside the jail and out, Wagstaffe said. “Like any pandemic, it spread all over our correctional facilities.” As San Mateo prosecutors went about filing charges in those cases, accounting officials at a Kern County state prison noticed something amiss as well: large money orders coming in for inmates’ books, some totaling thousands of dollars. “This was very abnormal,” said District Attorney Cynthia Zimmer of Kern County, which is home to five California prisons. State prison investigators later
determined that roughly 4,000 EDD claims had been filed there in inmates’ names and 2,382 paid out, totaling more than $16 million. The deception went undetected for months at EDD, which has only 17 investigators statewide assigned to fraud. While they’ve been cooperative, higher-ups have been “slow to nonexistent” in their reaction, Schubert said. “We’ve made a number of efforts to reach out to top-level management and haven’t really had any response from that,” she added. The next step: a letter to Newsom requesting his personal involvement in halting the rampant losses. “As taxpayers, all of us need to be really angry about this,” El Dorado County District Attorney Vern Pierson said Tuesday. While further investigations and prosecutions are forthcoming, “the reality is the vast majority of this money will never be repaid.” — Reach Lauren Keene at lkeene@davisenterprise.net.

HARDWOOD: Aggie men can’t hold lead against Nicholls State From Page A1 then shrinking that baker’s dozen lead to 63-62 with 8:12 to play. It was at that point that Aggie guard Evanne Turner nailed a trey just before Sage Stobbart scored on a fast break off a Mackenzie Trpcic assist. Hall’s 3-pointer off Stobbart’s helper was followed by her lay-in and Turner’s bold move through the lane to restore order for Davis at 75-62 and the end in sight. Turner would go on to score an Aggie-best 19 points with Hall and Stobbart both contributing 15. and Trpcic and Kayla Konrad adding 10 apiece. Hall corralled 11 boards; Stobbart had nine; and Trpcic and
Hall had five assists each. USF was led by Ioanna Krimili with 22 points while Amalie Langer drilled home 17. However, just to be playing was the victory for which Aggie coach Jennifer Gross was looking. “It was fulfilling,” explained Gross in a Zoom postgame interview. “Just knowing how much work these kids have been putting in, and how disciplined they’ve been — making really good choices (regarding the pandemic) ... always (keeping) the team in mind every time they’ve made a decision. “So to be in a position where we were able to suit up and be able to compete? It was awesome. It was
really fun to be back out there.” And while playing for the first time since March 7 was a celebration in and of itself, the coronavirus cloud still looms heavy. Saturday’s proposed home with Simpson has been scratched after officials of the Redding-based school reported a COVID-19 case in the basketball program. This comes after a contest with Santa Clara next week was put on hold. Gross says her staff will try to make up the lost games as other area schools have seen their schedules crumble. Stanford — slated to play UCD at Maples Pavilion on Dec. 11 — was told on Wednesday its next opponent, Pacific, has suspended
operations due to COVID considerations. Several other Big West entrants have had early games pulled due to virus outbreaks among opponents. “Every time (our women) turn on social media, there’s another team that has to delay,” Gross said afterward. “So I think, you know, our goal was, No. 1, just to be safe and keep each other healthy and then obviously the secondary benefit of that is that we do get to compete.” Pandemic willing, the Aggies are next scheduled to play at Sacramento State on Dec. 8.
Men rally, fall back In Santa Clara, Squire was on fire, Ba kept his team in
the game early and EZM didn’t disappoint, but the absence of second-half defense cost the UCD men in a 101-93 road loss to Nicholls State in the first round of the Bronco Invitational. The season debut saw an uneven first half for both schools. But it was Alameda native Cameron Ba hitting his first three 3-point attempts to give the Aggies a 48-44 halftime lead. In the second half, with UCD falling behind 78-68, it was five straight free throws by Ezra “EZM” Manjon and another two baskets from junior guard Damion Squire that pulled Davis even with 7:43 remaining. It was at that point that Aggie defense failed and Ty
Gordon (23 points) and Jaylen Fornes and Najee Garvin (18) put away Davis with a 12-4 run from which the locals couldn’t recover. Manjon, picked as a preseason All-Big West Team member by league coaches, led UCD with 25 points. Squire added 21 while Ba and center Kennedy Koehler finished with 11 apiece. Next up for the men is a 1 p.m. outing today with Invitational host Santa Clara of the West Coast Conference. On Saturday, Big Sky member Idaho State meets UCD, also at 1 p.m. — Reach sports editor Bruce Gallaudet at bgallaudet41@gmail.com or call 530-320-4456. Follow him on Twitter at @BGsportsinDavis.

Universities bring drama about identity challenges Online version of play allows patrons to shape the story Special to The Enterprise “[re: CLICK],” an innovative contemporary drama spotlighting five students who struggle with their identity in the digital age, marks a new collaboration between the UC Davis department of theater and dance and the American Music Theatre Project at Northwestern University. The free performances are at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday, Dec. 9, 10 and 12, can be accessed at re-click.ucdavis. edu. The play by Jacqueline Goldfinger, fall quarter Granada Artist-in-Residence at UC Davis,
is being co-directed by Margaret Laurena Kemp, associate professor of theater and dance at UC Davis, and Roger Ellis, assistant professor of theater at Northwestern University. The play has been previously produced on
stage, but this version has been conceived specifically for digital performance. “[re: CLICK]” includes participation by students from both universities, rehearsing across four time zones and three countries, and performed through a special website created by Jackie Fox, a recent graduate of the master of fine arts program in stage design at Northwestern. This site allows the viewer to follow the characters by selecting various portals on the show’s homepage, each altering the storytelling perspective for each patron. “The goal of the website is to offer users an experience while allowing them to make choices for themselves and individualize their experience,” Fox said. “In live theater, so much of the experience is controlled for the audience. Much of that still rings true in the virtual landscape except
that we can’t control how audiences experience the work, what they choose to click on or how they decide to activate it,” she said. Ellis and Kemp adapted Goldfinger’s original play, “CLICK,” for remote rehearsal and digital presentation. “In this moment of raised global consciousness, ‘[re: CLICK]’ challenges the notion of ensemble as being tied to geographic location,” Ellis said. “Our rehearsal process centered on embodied explorations of Goldfinger’s text in the context of solo and group performance. Each ensemble member amplifies each other’s voices through their individual and communal contributions to the work. What happens when we de-center the singular perspective, challenge the false

WOH presents ‘A Christmas Carol, a Play for Live Radio’ Special to The Enterprise The Woodland Opera House will present a worldpremiere production written by local playwright Bob Cooner. Presented virtually, “A Christmas Carol, a Play for Live Radio” is a twist on a holiday classic. Costumed in period attire, the five actors (Matthew Abergel, Patricia Glass, Rodger McDonald, Gil Sebastian and Lenore Sebastian) create the voices of all the familiar Dickens characters. “Adapting Dickens’ tale, which includes dozens of characters, as a radio script for only five actors presented a challenge, but it was a challenge the actors were excited to meet,” said writer and director Bob Cooner. “I wanted to include as much of Charles Dickens’ rich, colorful language as possible — not only the familiar phrases and passages from the original novella, but also a lot of the language that so strongly appeals to the senses.”
The Woodland Opera House will be streaming a holiday classic with a twist. “A Christmas Carol, a Play for Live Radio” takes the viewer back in time to the golden days of live radio broadcasts. Gil and Lenore Sebastian are radio voice-over actors in this world-premiere presentation. COURTESY PHOTO
“Dickens gives us so many vibrant characters, and this was a chance for each of us actors to play not
one but several of those characters. I think we all felt like one of those Victorian one-man bands,” actor
Matthew Abergel said. In the tradition of a 1930s and ’40s radio show, live sound effects were created
by Woodland Opera House props master and actor, Jason Hammond. Said Cooner, “Hammond has collected a variety of props to brilliantly create dozens of live sound effects that add so much color to the storytelling.” Alongside the talented cast, Dean Mora accompanies the story action on the organ. “One of the hallmarks of live radio shows back in the 1930s and ’40s was the live musical accompaniment provided by the studio orchestras,” Cooner said. “We are incredibly fortunate to have Dean Mora providing an amazing live soundtrack for our production, playing a vintage organ provided by Musictown Studio,” he added. “Rehearsing this show, I occasionally thought about my grandfather’s ancestors, the Cockney working-class Londoners whose difficult lives Dickens often depicts. If they could endure the hardships of those hard times, I guess I don’t have much to complain about,
not even this year. This has been a tough year. We need reminders of hope, and here’s Dickens serving it up in a feast fit for a king,” Cooner said. “Our goal is to keep the arts alive and offer creative options for our community while our theater doors must remain closed,” said Angela Baltezore, executive director. “We are currently holding all of our theater and dance education classes virtually and we plan to continue streaming concerts, plays and encore presentations of past shows.” The show was recorded live on the Woodland Opera House stage and will be streamed through the ShowTix4U platform at 7:30 p.m. Saturdays, Dec. 5 and 12, and 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 6. Tickets are just $10 for individuals and $20 for groups for viewing on one device (Smartphone, computer, or smart T.V.) Tickets can be purchased at www. woodlandoperahouse.org .

‘The Croods: A New Age’ feels somewhat primitive Little is fresh in this sequel
‘The Croods: A New Age’
BY DERRICK BANG Enterprise film critic “The Croods: A New Age” — now playing in whatever theaters are open, and available via video-ondemand closer to Christmas — is akin to its 2013 ancestor … only much more so. Director Joel Crawford eschews the subtler wit that filmmakers Kirk DeMicco and Chris Sanders brought to the original, instead favoring relentless pacing and a shrieking tone; both prove exhausting before this new film is even half over. These characters rarely chat; they’re always yelling, screaming, bellowing, howling … well, you get the point. We’re once again in an imaginary prehistoric past, set — as DeMicco and Sanders cheekily suggested — somewhere between the Jurassic Age and the “Katzenzoic Era.” The entire voice cast has returned; the cave-dwelling Croods consist of father figure Grug (Nicholas Cage) and his wife Ugga (Catherine Keener); their teenage daughter Eep (Emma Stone), adolescent son Thunk (Clark Duke) and toddler Sandy (still not speaking); and Ugga’s mother Gran (Cloris Leachman). As before, Grug maintains an inflexible set of rules intended to ensure their survival, most notably that the pack (which is to say, the family) Must. Stay. Together. Alas, this is becoming less likely, because Eep and Guy
COURTESY PHOTO
Eep displays her strength by hoisting her new best friend Dawn aloft, while the others — from left, Ugga, Grug, Guy, Hope and Phil — watch with a blend of admiration and concern. (Ryan Reynolds) — the young man they came across in the first film — have become a serious item, and are thinking about starting their own pack. It’s every father’s nightmare, and Cage once again is hilarious in full-tilt exasperation mode. This sequel grants Guy a backstory, during a prologue that picks up years before the first film’s events, when — as a young boy — he’s orphaned during a close encounter with a tar pit (a rather grim opening for a family-friendly animated film). His parents’ final words direct him to “follow the light, to find tomorrow,” so the boy wanders … and wanders … and wanders. Along the way, he finds the cuddly three-toed sloth, Belt, that becomes his constant companion and fashion statement. Years pass, and they eventually meet up with the Croods, and so forth. Moving forward, the search for food remains a
constant challenge that hasn’t gone well of late. The pack, therefore, is astonished to discover an idyllic, impressively farmed, foodladen paradise sheltered behind tall wooden walls. This proves to be the home of the aptly named Bettermans: Phil (Peter Dinklage), wife Hope (Leslie Mann) and teenage daughter Dawn (Kelly Marie Tran). The Bettermans live in a well-appointed treehouse that would be the envy of the Swiss Family Robinson; the inventive Phil also has re-routed a nearby mountain stream in order to irrigate this garden of plenty. The Croods are welcome to as much as they desire … but they’re never, ever to eat the bananas. (This isn’t merely a case of Neanderthals bumping up against Cro-Magnons; the Bettermans seem totally present-day, down to the presence of mirrors and modern clothing. That’s an evolutionary eyebrow-lift, but you gotta go with it.)
Given the insulting disdain and condescension with which Phil and Hope treat the Croods — and the obvious irritation this sparks in the latter — it’s pretty clear the scripters are tweaking our realworld divide between snooty liberal city dwellers who view themselves as superior to rural “deplorables.” The comparison definitely hits home; Phil and Hope are insufferable, and the Croods — despite their “primitive limitations” — become more admirable by comparison. Turns out Phil and Hope knew Guy’s parents, and are overjoyed to see that he survived, because — and here’s the kicker — they regard him as the perfect mate for Dawn. Surely, Phil insists, his daughter is far more suitable than a backward “cave girl.” The resulting romantic angst and us-versus-them relationship dynamics are offset by all manner of “retro” sight gags and encounters with an increasingly crazed menagerie of
hybrid predators and prey: kangadillos, chicken seals, pigators, rumblebees, bumblerhinos, wolf-spiders and so forth. The funniest running bit is Thunk’s immediate fascination with the newfangled invention — a “window” — in his private shack. He becomes entranced by the constant “show” taking place through it, failing to understand that he could step outside and experience the same environment. (The comparison to kids glued to their screens, at the expense of living in the real world, is impossible to miss.) And just when that gag seems to have been exhausted, fresh fun erupts when Thunk discovers a portable window. Unlike her parents, Dawn is genuinely nice and friendly. One of the film’s high points comes when this sheltered young woman — having never been allowed beyond the wall — is taken by Eep on a gal-power “joy ride” in the outer world.
Starring (voices): Nicolas Cage, Emma Stone, Ryan Reynolds, Catherine Keener, Cloris Leachman, Leslie Mann, Peter Dinklage, Kelly Marie Tran and Clark Duke Rating: PG, for mild rude humor Unfortunately, Crawford loses control of his film shortly thereafter, with a third act that becomes silly rather than funny, and also rather tedious. When Gran and the other women adopt alter egos for a climactic fight, things feel more like a video game, and less like a coherent story. As was the case in the first film, Cage and Stone are by far the best voice talents; the latter is spot-on as the audacious, resourceful and ferociously strong Eep. Stone also is amusing, early on, while Eep is mooning over Guy. Tran is a hoot when Dawn gets “drunk” after being poisoned by a rumblebee sting, but Leachman’s “feisty old lady” shtick isn’t as funny as it was in the first film (and, frankly, gets a bit weird during the aforementioned third act). This film has moments — and young children certainly will be entertained — but, mostly, this is a case of everybody trying too hard. Too much of the humor is forced, rather than feeling organic to the storyline.

DRAMA: Playwright impressed with evolution of work into new format From Page B1 notion of ‘universality,’ and create space for a wider array of voices?” During the rehearsal process, co-director Kemp discovered that using the students’ digital experiences may challenge audiences’ expectations. “Our creative inquiry was led by curiosity about ‘what is my body on the internet’,” Kemp added. “We kept coming back to questioning the impact of the anonymous, weaponized and often false voice of the digital chorus. Our cast of digital natives are the first generation for whom the digital experience is more real than the ‘fleshbased experience.’ Our decision to approach this material physically within the digital space is an invitation to the audience to not just think about but experience this dichotomy.” Playwright Goldfinger has been impressed by the evolution of her work in its new format. “I’m honored that Margaret and Roger chose to use ‘CLICK’ to create this beautiful and thoughtprovoking show,’ Goldfinger said. “I hope this piece encourages and supports students in their search for identity, and helps us determine how we can best support their journeys.” Goldfinger teaches
playwriting at the University of Pennsylvania and co-founded The Foundry at PlayPenn. She won the Yale-Horn Drama Prize for an Emerging Playwright and received the Smith Prize for Political Theatre by an Emerging Playwright, Barrymore Award for Outstanding New Play, the Brown Martin Award and Philadelphia Theatre
Critics’ Award for Best New Play. Goldfinger credits Women Organized Against Rape for providing research materials early in the writing process. Adriano Cabral, assistant professor of voice and movement at the University of Nevada, Reno, is the production’s voice and intimacy coordinator. Owen
Marshall, postdoctoral scholar and lecturer, science and technology studies at UC Davis, is the sound ecologist, and Gabrielle Strong, a graduate student in stage design at Northwestern, is the lighting designer. The production features original music by UC Davis alumni Richard Chowenhill (bachelor’s in music,
’10) and Ramteen Sazegari (bachelor’s in music and English literature, ’07). “[re: CLICK]” is cochoreographed by Rebecca Blaich. Note: This play contains strong language and

‘Uncle Frank’ is one of the year’s best Sublime acting highlights this well-sculpted character study
‘Uncle Frank’ Starring: Paul Bettany, Sophia Lillis, Peter Macdissi, Steve Zahn, Judy Greer, Margo Martindale, Stephen Root, Lois Smith, Jame McNeill and Burgess Jenkins Rating: R, for profanity, sexual candor and drug use
BY DERRICK BANG Enterprise film critic I haven’t been this nervous since Anne Hathaway reached for the microphone, in 2008’s “Rachel Getting Married.” Writer/director Alan Ball’s “Uncle Frank” — an Amazon Prime original — is a deeply personal and sensitively handled character study, brought to life by an excellent ensemble cast headed by Paul Bettany, Sophia Lillis and Peter Macdissi. Ball deftly walks the razor’s edge that often separates comedy from tragedy, delicately developing circumstances that set up a thirdact revelation/confrontation that raises our anxiety to the screaming level. We know an emotional train wreck is coming. A lengthy prologue — set in 1969, in tiny Creekville, S.C., — introduces the Bledsoe clan during a rowdy birthday party for elderly patriarch Daddy Mac (Stephen Root). Three generations are present: Daddy Mac, his wife Mammaw (Margo Martindale) and Aunt Butch (Lois Smith); adult children Frank (Bettany), Neva (Jane McNeill) and Mike (Steve Zahn); the latter two’s respective spouses, Beau (Burgess Jenkins) and Kitty (Judy Greer); and a rambunctious passel of grandkids. Fourteen-year-old Beth (Lillis) stands out as a quiet observer, keenly attuned to the moods of others. Alas, she isn’t quick enough to prevent an irate Daddy Mac from explosively chewing out the younger kids: an eyebrow-raising moment that reveals a truly nasty temper. We also don’t notice Frank right away; like Beth, he seems somehow removed from the noisy celebration. The exchange of gifts reveals a guarded dynamic between Frank and his unpleasant father. We assume it’s the former’s outsider status; unlike everybody else in the room, Frank long ago left Creekville for the Big Apple, where he has become a revered literature professor at New York University.

is quite funny; Wally’s shrewd observations are always dead-on, and his bluntness — never unkind — invariably softens a tense moment. Wally also radiates devoted love: Frank is his entire world, and there’s no question that Frank needs him equally. The supporting cast is a wellestablished collection of scenestealers. Martindale has cornered the market on no-nonsense matriarchs, and her Southernfried sensibilities here are to die for. Zahn makes excellent use of his slow-burn double-takes; we sense that Mike is always one or two pages behind, in life’s complex script. Greer’s Kitty is sweet but slightly ditzy; Smith’s austere Aunt Butch seems to date back to the Civil War. I wish Ball had spent more time with McNeill’s Neva; she proves to be an important character, and deserves more exposure, early on. Cole Doman is exquisitely shaded as Frank’s teenage self, during flashback sequences. Darcy C. Scanlin’s production design feels completely authentic, from the comfortably disheveled appearance of the Bledsoe family home, to the scholarly NYU atmosphere and early 1970s vibe of post-Stonewall New York. Nathan Barr’s quietly poignant score is augmented by a wealth of period pop tunes that further establish the setting: from The Isley Brothers’ “It’s Your Thing” and Bobby Sykes’ “Feet Get Me Out of Here,” to Paul Frederick’s “Cool Blue” and Apollo 100’s switched-on take on Bach’s “Joy.” Ball builds his film to a powerful conclusion, and I’ll warrant there won’t be a dry eye in the house. This is one for the ages. — Read more of Derrick Bang’s film criticism at http://derrickbang.blogspot.com. Comment on this review at www. davisenterprise.com.

Although she has adored him her entire life, Beth (Sophia Lillis) begins to realize that there’s a lot more to her Uncle Frank (Paul Bettany) than he reveals to most people. Frank escaped the vicious cycle of high school pregnancies that trap Creekville 16-year-olds into a lifetime of drudge jobs: a fate he hopes Beth also can avoid. He’s her favorite adult: the only one who treats her like a person, and not a child, listening attentively to her every word. But she fears her limited options, given family circumstances. Don’t settle for who people expect you to become, he advises; become who you want to be. That sentiment caps an achingly sweet and poignant chat on the porch, an entire world removed from the noisy clan on the other side of the wall: staged by Ball with carefully nuanced sensitivity, and delivered with touching persuasiveness by Bettany and Lillis. This film is bookended by an older Beth’s off-camera narration, much in the manner of the adult Scout, in 1962’s “To Kill a Mockingbird.” (A bit later, Ball cheekily has Beth admit that Harper Lee is one of her favorite authors.) Flash-forward four years. Beth has become a freshman at NYU, excited both by a wide-open future, and this proximity to her beloved Uncle Frank. She is, nonetheless, an adorably naïve product of her conservative upbringing.
A few typical rites of passage into her first semester, she discovers — during a bohemian evening — that Frank is gay, and has long shared an apartment with his partner Walid “Wally” Nadeem (Macdissi): not merely another gay man, but a Saudi Arabian. Lillis established her talent for wide-eyed astonishment as Beverly Marsh in the recent “It” twoparter; it serves her equally well here. Although such a revelation is utterly beyond Beth’s ken, her bewilderment does not include judgment; she’s simply insatiably curious. And it’s impossible to resist Wally’s good-natured charm and genuine delight at meeting the niece who is the apple of Frank’s eye. While still trying to process all of this, a crisis: Daddy Mac has died suddenly, and Frank and Beth must return to Creekville. Kitty, apparently terrified of airplanes, doesn’t want her daughter to fly; Frank, therefore, agrees to drive them both. Beth is delighted, as she’ll have a chance to get to know her uncle better; she has so many questions. It soon becomes clear, however, that Frank’s discomfort over this road trip has deeper roots than (we now understand) a sense that he doesn’t belong. Bettany, a long-undervalued

actor of transcendent talent, gives a phenomenally layered performance. Frank has, in effect, been giving a performance his entire life. In New York, or when around Beth, he’s a kind-hearted intellectual — but absolutely never snooty about it — keenly attuned to people and his environment. Out of his comfort zone, though, Bettany allows the man’s deeply buried anxiety and despair to surface. The closer they get to Creekville, the more apprehensive Frank becomes, as if he somehow knows this will be far more than a funeral. Beth’s sudden (and unexpected) slide into adulthood is fun to watch, and not merely for the way her appearance and clothing gradually become more hip (kudos to costume designer Megan Stark Evans). Lillis makes her progressively more spunky and saucy, culminating in a riposte to a clumsy pick-up attempt by a young garage mechanic: absolutely the best, funniest — and wincingly ontarget — put-down I’ve ever heard. (Ball should get an Oscar for those few lines alone.) Macdissi is a similar revelation. Wally is the soothing, restorative balm to Frank’s edgy, angstridden intellectual. Macdissi also
