Davis The letter printed April 28, presented as ÒSafeguarding Co-op Democracy,Ó is not about ÒsafeguardingÓ or Òdemocracy.Ó The use of these terms provides cover for the intent of Michael PachÕs letter. The Davis Food Co-op is not part of a large chain. It is vulnerable to being co-opted by people who wish to use it … Continue Reading
Davis At times, Martin Luther King Jr. had to confront people who claimed his call for justice was illegal. Over time people, came to realize the illegal claims were nothing more than people afraid to open their hearts and minds. I think of the civil rights movement as I write this letter to encourage Davis … Continue Reading
Davis In a recent letter, Mike Pach explained why he wants to be on the Davis Food Co-op board. He believes the Co-op should adopt any political resolution that garners the support of a bare majority of the voting members. It does not matter that the resolution has nothing to do with food or cooperatives. … Continue Reading
Davis Mike Pach is not entirely honest in his letter announcing his candidacy for the board of the Davis Food Co-op. He writes that he wants to pursue the organizationÕs principles of Ò… self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality …Ó But thereÕs no mention of his underlying intention: to reverse the current boardÕs decision to not proceed … Continue Reading
Davis Well, I hope all the folks who pushed for the Fifth Street Òroad dietÓ will enjoy an increased amount of cars driving through their neighborhoods, especially those just north of Fifth Street. When the backups start happening, and they will, drivers will seek out the path of least resistance. This will absolutely include the … Continue Reading
Davis Regarding the changes to Fifth Street, IÕm reminded of the old saying, ÒKeep it simple, stupid.Ó Both Third Street and Eighth Street having really great, well-used bike lanes. For the newcomers who donÕt know that bicyclists are much safer on those streets, maybe we could educate them with signs on Fifth Street. The sign … Continue Reading
Davis A fleeting impulse … a violent crime … a victim … many victims… A fleeting impulse led me to attend the fourth annual Crime Victims Tribute in the atrium of the Yolo County Administration Building. At first, I thought two hours was a long event. Never have two hours passed so quickly or seriously! … Continue Reading
Enterprise columnist Unable to get parents to control what their kids eat, Santa Clara County supervisors have banned toys in McDonaldÕs Happy Meals, apparently under the impression that high-calorie toys make kids fat. The Nanny State is alive and well, and one only wonders when Yolo County supervisors or Davis City Council members will decide … Continue Reading
The issue: TheyÕre detained in Iran without charge, denied visits from their attorney and in failing health The Obama administration has again called on Iran to release three young U.S. hikers who have been detained without charge since they strayed across the border almost nine months ago. THE CALL FOLLOWED a 40-minute visit to the … Continue Reading
Special to The Enterprise I have been through four Picnic Days now Ñ my first year as a visitor, and the last three years as a worker. In June 2009, I was hired to be the chair for the 96th Picnic Day, and I knew that my work was cut out for me. I spent … Continue Reading
Davis The Davis Schools Foundation is pleased that early retirements will allow the Davis Joint Unified School District to rescind 48 pink slips (ÒRetirement means 48 fewer layoffs,Ó April 26). WeÕd like to clarify, though, that while the 48 teachers holding those layoff notices will have jobs next year, the fact remains that 88 positions … Continue Reading
Davis IÕm confused by all of the head-scratching going on around Davis wondering: 1) WhatÕs happened to the sweet community event known as Picnic Day and 2) What can be done to bring it back to what we all came to know and love? Having lived here only 12 years, IÕm no expert on the … Continue Reading
Davis After this yearÕs debacle of a ÒPicnicÓ Day, I believe the university and the City Council should agree to not have a formal Picnic Day in 2011 (and perhaps not even in 2012). I recognize this would interrupt a 96-year Òtradition,Ó but believe we need to take a step back to re-evaluate the purpose … Continue Reading
San Diego I just wanted to say what a lovely community you have! Our daughter attends UC Davis and since she started school, we have had the pleasure to visit several times. All of our visits have been hospitable and we have admired how clean and friendly the surroundings are. Recently, my daughter dropped her … Continue Reading
