Listen to Central High School teachers and classmates remember Aviva Okeson-Haberman.
At Central High School, Aviva Okeson-Haberman was part of the student broadcast journalism team called Central Intelligence, or CI.
Josh Cantrell, Central’s media teacher, worked with her on CI her senior year of high school. He says her dedication to research and knack for storytelling made her bring as much detail into her stories as possible.
“We had kind of a two-minute limit, two-and-a-half,” Cantrell remembers. And she would always try to negotiate down from about five, because she just had so much that she always wanted to say.”

A new proposal would allow California restaurants to permanently offer to-go cocktails.
Senator Bill Dodd from Napa said SB389 would throw businesses a lifeline as they struggle to stay afloat beyond the pandemic. Dodd said he thinks the plan would have bipartisan support.
“These restaurants that are hurting, aren’t in just Democrat or Republican areas, Dodd said. They are in all areas.”
The bill would allow restaurants to continue sales of pre-mixed drinks as long as those drinks are purchased with food. The allowance would apply solely to businesses that serve both.
“Nobody is going to go out and buy a vodka tonic to go, Dodd said. A lot of the time, what’s happening, these are nice upscale restaurants and these are mixologists making different types of cocktails.”
