Enterprise columnist We all like free samples, but since my ÒCalifornia Statewide Direct Primary Election Official Voter Information GuideÓ was printed at taxpayer expense, itÕs clearly not free. To be clear, this is the Debra Bowen version of the ballot, not the one our friend Freddie Oakley sends out from behind the barricades in Woodland. … Continue Reading
Enterprise staff writer * EditorÕs note: This is the fourth in a series of profiles on the five candidates for Davis City Council. At the ripe young age of 28, Davis City Council candidate Sydney Vergis has quite a few accomplishments under her belt. SheÕs a former senior land-use planner for Sutter County and recently … Continue Reading
Enterprise wine columnist I like to blame the stars for my resistance to change. With two Tauruses in the household Ñ or would that be ÒTauriÓ? Ñ we never even rearrange the furniture or rotate the art. Converting a small closet into a pantry/wine cellar sent us both into paroxysms of anxiety. So when I … Continue Reading

ÒCasino Jack and the United States of MoneyÓ Ñ When mega-lobbyist Jack Abramoff was sentenced to jail in early 2006, he was seen as the personification of corruption, along with Tom DeLay and Bob Ney. But as Alex GibneyÕs documentary shows, Abramoff and the individuals associated with him were just the tip of the iceberg. … Continue Reading
Special to The Enterprise So many questions! Weird weather, the usual spring pest problems and much more. This monthÕs column therefore is a grab bag of odds and ends. WhatÕs up with this weather? NASA climate scientists inform us that January through April were warm worldwide. That said, regional anomalies exist, and weÕre in one … Continue Reading
Enterprise art critic Last weekend, San FranciscoÕs de Young Museum unveiled a singularly supreme achievement: ÒBirth of Impressionism: Masterpieces from the MusŽe dÕOrsay.Ó I slipped in a few days before the show opened, to see some old favorites before crowds swarmed the building for the summer. Henri MatisseÕs ÒWoman with a HatÓ lives at the … Continue Reading

Davis I am voting for Sydney Vergis and Joe Krovoza for the Davis City Council. Sydney is a problem-solver who will bring a refreshingly open and independent perspective to the council. She has a strong sense of values, but isnÕt locked into a rigid ideological approach to solving the problems our city confronts. She has … Continue Reading
Davis IÕve known and worked with Joe Krovoza for about 10 years. Watching him in action as a fundraiser and external relations pro for the UC Davis Institute of Transportation Studies and Energy Efficiency Center gives me great confidence that heÕll be a terrific council member. Joe facilitates conversations and negotiates research and funding agreements … Continue Reading
Davis I met Rochelle Swanson while working with the Davis High School Blue & Foundation to renovate our high school stadium. RochelleÕs leadership was tenacious. It wasnÕt uncommon for her to work into the middle of the night, only to start the next day bright and early, ready to tackle the dayÕs tasks. Her leadership … Continue Reading

Her position on growth is that it must be based upon proven needs. Her understanding of budgetary matters goes far beyond other candidates. Her successes in supporting local schools speaks for … Continue Reading
Davis As the Election Day draws closer, I hope everyone votes. It is so important. The success of our system of government depends on it. I also hope all of us make the best effort to educate ourselves about the candidates for different offices and the different issues on the ballot. Our country, state, county … Continue Reading
Davis I am writing in support of Joe KrovozaÕs candidacy for Davis City Council. While I canÕt imagine why anyone would want a job that, as far as I can tell, consists mainly of long and late meetings, numerous tedious agenda items that require reading reams of detailed staff reports, and more or less required … Continue Reading
