EDITORIAL

The mayor’s obligation If accurate, a community member’s portrayal of comments Mayor Sean

Morgan made during a meeting this week are troubling on a variety of fronts.

For some, they will serve as confirmation of what many believe to be his goal when it comes to addressing homelessness locally: that the city and other charitable groups should not provide anything. The desired result: to drive the population out of town by making life more difficult.

Morgan has already indicated that he believes certain efforts to help homeless people only serve to enable their lifestyle. We also know he has been a driver behind city ordinances that criminalize behavior associated with life on the streets.

But what was shared during Tuesday’s City Council meeting reveals something different: an openly hostile and cruel position.

We’d love to hear directly from the mayor on this issue. We’d like to confirm that he said these things, and hear the context of those and other comments, including his alleged insult to the county seat. But Morgan refused to speak with the CN&R following a meeting in which a local woman outed him.

And that’s unacceptable. Morgan owes the citizens of Chico, including those who live unsheltered, an explanation. He’s a political figure and, like it or not, has a duty to answer questions from the media and those he represents—which is everyone in Chico, regardless of their politics or socioeconomic status. □

A recent report released by the California Medical Association finds that youth are attracted to sweet flavors and are more likely to try and continue using a tobacco product that is flavored. Just as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and surgeon general have in the past, this study concludes that tobacco by flavors like chocolate, strawberry Andy Miller and bubble gum help mask the The author, a harshness of tobacco and lure physician and Butte our kids who have never used County’s health tobacco products before into a officer, wrote this lifetime of addiction. in honor of National But this is not news: In 2009, public Health Week, the FDA banned the use of April 2-6. flavors in traditional cigarettes on the basis that flavors are especially appealing to youth and that a ban on these products would help to reduce the number of

young people who start smoking. However, menthol and other tobacco products—like cigars, hookah tobacco, smokeless tobacco and e-cigarettes—were excluded from this ban and are still allowed to be sold in flavored varieties. In fact, certain flavors used in tobacco are the exact same flavoring chemicals used in candies such as Jolly Ranchers, meaning that these tobacco products literally taste and smell like candy.

We know this marketing approach has been effective because the use of cigarettes among youth has declined over the past few years while the use of flavored e-cigarettes and hookahs has increased. If you doubt these flavors are attracting kids, just ask them—a recent study did just that and found that more than two-thirds of youth report using tobacco products because “they come in flavors I like.”

While the FDA decides on its next steps regarding flavored tobacco products, the good news is that local jurisdictions in California have the power to restrict or even prohibit the sale of flavored tobacco products. We know that as long as tobacco products are allowed to be flavored, they will continue to entice our kids, whose lifetime health will suffer from an ongoing addiction to tobacco. □

months, some deranged man walks into a concert, a nightclub or a school and starts shooting people with an automatic or semi-automatic weapon.

We’ve seen these incidents around the nation—and close to home last fall, when five people were killed in Rancho Tehama. Between each of these incidents are smaller ones during which one or two people are killed.

Meanwhile, the official responses from our nation’s capital involve “thoughts and prayers” followed by a “debate,” which in this case is a euphemism for “Congressional Republicans ignore the obvious solutions so they can continue to accept big campaign donations from gun lobbyists.”

So, what are the obvious solutions? There are plenty, including easier access to mental health care services. However, above all is sensible reform of the gun laws in this country.

Weapons like the AR-15 used in Parkland aren’t like a rifle you might use to kill vermin out on the farm. They’re not even like a handgun or shotgun you might use to chase a burglar out of your house. They are tools meant to kill many people quickly. There is absolutely no reason that an emotionally disturbed teenager should be able to buy one, as was the case in Florida two months ago.

Gun regulation could work like automobile regulation—licensing, with written and practical exams, ownership registration, basic health requirements, annual renewals, and so forth. This is a sensible solution, and according to recent polls conducted by The Washington Post and ABC News, something favored by a majority of Americans.

What can we do on a local level? For starters, citizens can support the youth who are calling attention to the subject. At noon this Saturday, April 7, at the El Rey Theatre, a group composed of students from Chico High, Inspire School of Arts & Sciences and Chico State are holding a panel discussion on gun violence. They’ve invited Rep. Doug LaMalfa to speak, but are prepared with experts in the event he’s a no-show.

SECOND & FLUME

by Melissa Daugherty m e l i s s a d @ n e w s r e v i e w. c o m

Words matter As the editor of a community newspaper, getting emails or phone calls from readers upset with something published in these pages is part of the job. In the five years I’ve sat at the helm, I’ve irked a wide cross-section of Chico and beyond.

Seriously, name a group—liberals, conservatives, politicians of all stripes, Christians, atheists, tea partiers, peaceniks, the local cops’ union, city management … I could go on—and chances are they’ve cursed my name at one point or another.

But I don’t piss people off for the sake of pissing them off. If you make it into an editorial in these pages or this column—whether it’s for praise or, well, something else—you’ve earned it.

Which brings me to last Friday (March 30), when I got an email from a member of Chico First, a local citizens’ group, who was upset about something I’d written in an editorial. That was followed by a phone call from another member regarding the same complaint—that I’d labeled their group’s name as having been inspired by the Ku Klux Klan.

I don’t believe Chico First took its name from that hate group’s propaganda, and it’s not what I meant to imply, but when I reviewed what I’d written I can see how that might be the takeaway. What I was trying to impart was that, for some folks, the name Chico First conjures the term America First, which, in addition to having been adopted as policy by President Trump, is associated with a World War II-era isolationist group (read: antisemitism) and the KKK decades earlier in the form of that group’s slogan.

Basically, I was trying to tell the local group that it may want to consider losing that handle. To put it another way, words matter. And that goes for me, too, which is why I’ve taken to this space to correct the record. I’m sorry that I offended those folks, and I’ve amended the editorial to clarify things.

What’s unfortunate is that, for some Chico Firsters, that single sentence was the only takeaway in the editorial.

The data about the increase in Chico’s homeless population didn’t resonate. Nor did the fact that the federal government (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) penalized our region for criminalizing homelessness—as a result of the City Council’s adoption of the sit/lie and protection of public property ordinances—by cutting $50,000 in annual grant funding to local service providers. That’s a big deal, as that amount of money can make or break a local program.

In other words, efforts to codify similar policies would take our community another step backward on addressing homelessness. I hope Chico First’s members realize this, though, from what I’ve seen, I’m doubtful.

In a letter to the editor this week, a Chico Firster denies that the group is lobbying the city to prohibit food giveaways at City Plaza, which counters his public statements to the City Council calling for “the need to end the abuse of our City Plaza and other parks as a distribution and gathering point for ad hoc charitable services.”

While some have chided me for not knowing enough about the group to comment, they should be aware I didn’t write about it in a vacuum. I joined the group’s public Facebook page months ago. There, among other things, I have seen comments that demonize homeless people go unchecked despite a purported goal of providing a forum for “civil discourse that is safe, respectful, and constructive.” Obviously, I’ve also paid attention when its members speak at city meetings.

At the same time, I’ve had conversations that lead me to believe there are members with whom I’ll find common ground. For my part, I’m trying to keep an open mind.

Melissa Daugherty is editor of the CN&R

Opposing views Re “Compassion above all else” (Editorial, March 29): Facts matter, even if not to the editor of the CN&R. Bridging gaps requires careful attention to bothersome things like facts, objectives, mission and virtue, especially virtue.

Fact is, we have not proposed outlawing “food giveaways.” All of our parks, waterways, public places, roads, airspace, etc., are regulated. Even those things that might be prohibited in one place might well be allowed somewhere else. Civilized society imposes rules of conduct. When we don’t obey these rules, we are subject to enforcement. As people find new ways to offend community standards, new laws and ordinances must follow.

Fact: Chico First is not affiliated with any other group, especially Nazis or the KKK. We are exactly what we say we are: a group of community volunteers concerned with matters of public safety and quality of life for the entire community should come first; i.e., “Chico First.”

Unless we get at the root of some of the issues driving the increases in crime, degraded public safety and quality of life, things will get worse. That is not to say that we think we have all of the answers, but clearly we have thought about it more carefully than you.

I am writing to thank you for your well-balanced editorial regarding the activities of Chico Friends on the Street (CFOTS) and Chico First.

Several weeks ago, Chico First set up a booth in the plaza on Sunday while CFOTS passed out food. I was at the plaza with CFOTS, introduced myself to Rob Berry, and invited him and the others to come see for themselves what we were doing.

Unfortunately, no one took me up on it; it all felt rather silly, as if we were rival gangs rather than concerned citizens in a public space.

My experience has been that CFOTS leaves the plaza cleaner LETTERS c o n t i n u e d

LETTERS c o n t i n u e d f r o m pa g e 5 then when they arrived. The claim that an occasional shared meal is keeping people on the streets is specious as well. There are currently around 1,100 homeless humans in Chico. There aren’t enough shelter beds or housing available for all of them. What is keeping them on the streets is not a PB&J sandwich.

I live in Chico and want it to be clean and safe, but I also seek respectful solutions rather than criminalization for those who are living on the streets. I will continue to seek common ground with any group working toward those goals.

Angela McLaughlin Chico

Editor’s note: For more on this, see Second & Flume, page 5.

Re “Under pressure” (Newslines, by Robert Speer, March 29): I appreciate your coverage and recent editorials concerning the activities and divergent philosophies of Chico Friends on the Street and Chico First.

Over two years ago, Chico Friends on the Street began a protest in response to the further criminalization of homelessness, implemented through the Offenses Against Public Property Ordinance.

Our protest takes place in Chico City Plaza, where we meet and share food and clothing. This has raised the hackles of landlords and members of Chico First. At the council meeting on March 20, we were pilloried for our activities and the council was asked to prohibit us from sharing food.

I found the testimony to be wildly exaggerated. (Especially with respect to managing litter—which we have consistently controlled.) We were also accused of engaging in “political theater.”

There is theater in protest: We are in a visible public space, affirming the rights of all people to coexist. I agree with Mayor Sean Morgan when he says we are “empowering” the homeless—at least I hope this is true. The homeless have at least some power when present among us, especially as the alternative to exclusion through deprivation, criminalization and “consolidation”—the interdependent devices now promoted by our local authoritarians.

‘Almost nightmarish’ Re “More than a doll” (Second & Flume, by Melissa Daugherty, March 29): I am sorry for those losing jobs when Toys R Us closes, but otherwise I am glad that store is closing. Taking a child in there was guaranteed to start an addiction for wanting stuff, and more stuff.

That addiction may kill our planet.

I have been in Toys R Us, but I would never have taken a child there. Entering the store, I was always appalled at the quantity, and the garish, almost nightmarish, endless aisles of variations on mostly unnecessary stuff, designed to create cravings for more, more, more.

The purpose of the revered U.S. economy is to create constant wanting, also called consumer demand. People froth at the mouth with the prospect of creating more and more new stuff, and creating more and more demand for new stuff, and thus “building” the economy.

An economy so selfishly oriented on creating wants, rather than fulfilling needs, has perverted U.S. society, by undervaluing the public sphere.

With the public sphere undervalued, infrastructure is not built or maintained; education does not have needed resources; there’s a lack of affordable housing; health care is inadequate, and many states are too cheap to have unhackable voting machines.

But people have lots of stuff.

Lucy Cooke Butte Valley

Unfair condemnation Re “Point of preservation” (Newslines, by Ashiah Scharaga, March 29): The CN&R seems to be lacking in philosophical consistency in the March 29 issue. It seems people camping in park and trashing it, in violation of many rules, are to be defended. But disc golfers who are following all the rules are to be condemned for minor impacts incidental to using a park for recreation as intended. (I thought the article was overly sympathetic to Friends of Bidwell Park.)

Rules regarding public property are to be applied the same to all of us, regardless of socioeconomic

status. If the mayor’s effort to reduce illegal camping is hateful, then what term shall we use for “Friends” of Bidwell Park’s 15-year harassment of the disc golfers? How much tribute do the disc golfers need to pay?

If John Merz of “Friends” is allowed to supplant the city staff and negotiate a settlement with the disc golfers, they won’t just be paying for his friends to do repetitive botanical studies, they will also need to offer up a chest of gold doubloons and their first-born daughters. And it won’t be enough, since disc golfers are lowly people not worthy of park access in the “Friends” way of thinking.

Michael Jones Chico

Editor’s note: A representative from the disc-golf group, Chico Outsiders, declined to comment to the CN&R’s reporter and other media.

‘Ahead of the curve’ Re “Maternal mandate” (Healthlines, by April Dembosky, March 29): Thank you for publishing the important article that addresses the crisis of lack of services for women struggling with maternal mental health disorders. Butte County is a bit ahead of the curve; an organization called Mothers Strong has been working since 2014 to expand screening and services for mothers. Information and resources for families can be found at helpcentral.org/mothers strong and Mothers Strong can also be found on Facebook.

Anna Bauer Chico

Calling out Congress The Republicans in Congress are demonstrating a lack of character, conscience and common sense.

They refuse to responsibly address the complicated issue of

immigration, take sensible action to develop gun safety regulations, or manage funding the government for more than six weeks. They avoid discussions on foreign policy and the defense of our country, other than to throw more money at military contractors.

President Trump recently called Russian President Putin to congratulate him on his sham re-election victory, this against the advice of the adults on his staff.

However, he failed to mention Russia’s alleged nerve gas attack on British soil, the attack on U.S. soldiers by Russian mercenaries in Syria, their antagonistic aggression against NATO, or their interference in our presidential election.

By staying silent on these critical transgressions, Trump gives Putin a green light to keep it up.

Yet we hear no condemnation

by Republicans in Congress, including Trump yes-man Doug LaMalfa, for this un-presidential behavior. Republicans exhibit indifference to the actions of Russia’s criminal dictator. It seems that Mr. Putin has seduced Donald Trump to help achieve his world views.

What does Putin have on Trump? It’s a question many people have and one Trump doesn’t want answered.

Roger S. Beadle Chico

On military spending Re “Bloat” (Cover story, by Dennis Myers, March 22): Unfortunately, most people are unaware of the vast waste and true cost of maintaining this monster.

We would as a nation have to educate ourselves and become politically active and aware of the plain and simple truth: that the military, industrial, congressional complex is a criminal organization.

They are destroying this country.

Wayne Rice Chico

Speaking of LaMalfa Pleasant Valley High School students organized the successful March for Our Lives on March 24.

Now Chico High students have stepped up to the plate to organize one of the national town halls to be held in every district.

Let’s turn out on April 7 at noon at the El Rey Theatre to discuss gun violence and gun reform with Congressman Doug LaMalfa. Will he show up to face his constituents? If not, a panel of his opponents and experts on the issue will speak so our students don’t have to wonder if they’re the next to be killed.

Gayle Kimball Chico

Missing Dr. King April 4, 2018, marked 50 years since Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, and I still remember the moment I heard he was killed. I had just returned to my unit in Vietnam, after several weeks of hospitalization, recovering from wounds.

Just two months after the Tet Offensive, morale was already low and this assassination was a big blow to most of us, as it became apparent that not only was Vietnam falling apart but back home was too.

America finally recognized Dr. King’s contributions in 1983, by creating a national holiday with a bipartisan bill signed by President Reagan. I still miss the man who gave us the “I have a Dream” speech.

Bob Mulholland Chico

Clarification A news story on Peregrine Point and Sycamore Field in the March 29 issue (see “Point of preservation,” by Ashiah Scharaga) requires clarification: The Bidwell Park and Playground Commission denied the erection of a permanent fence around Sycamore Field on a 4-to-0 vote. The tie-breaker vote noted in the story was regarding an effort to allow a softball league to set up a portable restroom at the site during its season.

In light of the Oroville Dam Spillway crisis and last summer’s devastating wildfires, the Butte County Library has added hundreds of books focused on disaster prep and recovery, made possible by a $10,000 Crisis Collections grant from the California State Library.

Subjects include how to prepare for and survive floods and fires, and the survival, recovery, resiliency and science behind emergencies. Some reference mental health and wellness services often needed after traumatic community events, while others focus on the process of rebuilding homes and replanting landscaping.

The Butte County Sheriff’s Office photo essay about the spillway incident is also included, along with professional titles to help community leaders and emergency responders build skills or plan.

Armed, Aggressive mAn Arrested

Around 9 p.m. last Wednesday (March 28), police received reports that a man was acting erratic, screaming and possibly armed with a knife on the 1800 block of East Eighth Street.

Once an officer arrived, the man initially fled and then walked back toward the officer, who used a Taser to incapacitate him until backup arrived. When police tried to take the suspect, later identified as Kai Perrelli, 19, of Chico, into custody, he allegedly resisted and bit an officer. Perrelli was placed in a fullbody restraint and admitted to the hospital, determined to be in need of medical attention based on his behavior.

Perrelli will be charged with brandishing a weapon at a citizen and peace officer, resisting arrest, assault on a peace officer, and being under the influence of a controlled substance.

JAil, probAtion in vehicle deAth

On Tuesday, after pleading no contest to a vehicular manslaughter charge in February, Christina Lynn Glenn (pictured), 32, was sentenced to six months in jail and five years of supervised probation, including alcohol and drug treatment, for the death of bicyclist Karl Eugene Keyes, 65, in January 2017.

Keyes was found dead on Olive Highway between Foothill Boulevard and Kampong Court. Law enforcement posted a witness’ description of an SUV on social media, prompting Glenn to call police. She told officers she’d had three 20 oz. mixed drinks and took a Norco painkiller before going for a drive after an argument with her husband.

The prosecution pointed to a lack of remorse and admission from Glenn that she’s since continued drinking and using marijuana, despite the nature of her charge and being a mother of four.

member Dave Nopel, who at the time served on a site-specific steering committee with (among others) Kao, said it happened “without our input or discussion.” Debbie Ricci, the museum’s board secretary, described the news as “a thunderbolt.”

Nopel said the group received indications the museum wouldn’t reopen, yet “was unwilling to walk away” from the shuttered showplace.

“I can remember when there was no Chico Museum,” he said. “I remember people of my parents’ generation dreaming of when Chico could have its museum.

Finally this took shape over five years of volunteer work and financing, and the Chico Museum has been here for 30-plus years.”

Indeed, the Chico Museum opened in February 1986. Nopel joined the steering committee five years ago, following an exhibition of photos from the collection of his late father, renowned Chico historian John Nopel. Kao and Ricci got involved at roughly the same time, Ricci due to her friendship with Randy Taylor, who currently serves as exhibit chair.

The board, with Kao as liaison, is negotiating with the heritage association to assume ownership of the museum’s contents—then will be positioned to execute a new lease with the city to use the building.

“I think we actually can see the light at the end of the tunnel,” Nopel said, “and it may be just a few weeks to a month away before we sign off [on agreements.]”

The Chico History Museum, as it’s now

called, reopened in December. It has limited hours—11-4, Thursday-Sunday—in no small part due to the volunteer nature of the operation.

There’s no paid staff; during this transition period, board members have sought to economize by doing everything themselves. Even so, the museum costs between $30,000 and $50,000 a year to run, not counting outlays such as replacing the aforementioned air conditioner. The biggest annual fundraiser, Museum Night Out, was canceled because of the closure.

“The flow of money is right at the root of this transition,” Nopel said.

Added Kao: “We need volunteerism— amongst funds, obviously, but volunteerism is a way to keep this museum open that limits the cost of our operation.”

Despite recruitment efforts, she said, “we’re running out of folks.”

The Chico History Museum has information for prospective supporters—donors and volunteers—on its website, chico historymuseum.org. Concurrently, and somewhat confusingly, the Far West Heritage Association has kept active its site for the facility (chicomuseum.org), updating some information but not all, and using Chico Museum for its name. The Far West Heritage Association says it plans to forward its site to the new address upon completion of the transfer agreement.

For specifics on the closure and negotiations, the CN&R contacted Steven

Board members—including (from left) Debbie Ricci, Amy Kao and Randy Taylor—operate the Chico History Museum strictly with, and alongside, other volunteers.

Gun control reruns A bevy of new laws heads to the State Capitol amidst fresh violence

Heithecker, president of Far West, Wednesday morning; he was unavailable for comment by press deadline, as was Vice President Susan Donohue.

Since reopening, the museum has hosted three events: the first two installments of a new lecture series, which resumes this weekend (see infobox), and a celebration of the Chico Chinese Temple exhibit, held March 23.

The museum’s centerpiece is Chico Through Time, of which the temple is a part. Following the Nopel photo exhibition, featuring rare historical images, Taylor and Nopel (among others) collaborated to turn the museum’s focus toward the city’s past.

“There had been general-interest exhibits on bees and rice and bicycles, and those were all good,” Nopel said.

“There was a real interest to bring back Chico’s story.”

That vision remains: “Our plan is to keep it just Chico,” Taylor said.

“Chico history is incredible,” Ricci said. “I’ve lived here my whole life, and these two gentlemen have taught me so much about Chico that I never knew.

This town has so much that most people don’t know about—that’s what we hope to show them.”

Chico Through Time exhibits will rotate several times a year. Currently there’s a look at classic buildings, most notably three “grand hotels,” highlighted by items from Taylor’s personal collection. Coming soon will be a World War I commemoration with memorabilia loaned by a benefactor.

Taylor said exhibits have roughly a “50-50” split between objects owned by the museum and community members.

Even after five years, he hasn’t been able to inventory every museum possession—unopened boxes still await in the basement.

Also at his disposal are catalogs of the 100-some exhibits produced over 32 years—plus, the building itself, which board members see as worthy of showcasing, perhaps in a lecture.

“There’s just a nearly endless kind of opportunity and potential [here] for exhibits,” Nopel said.

“It just speaks to the pride of Chico,” Kao injected. “There’s just tremendous pride in this community—people who have lived here, people who have had families here—and we feel very privileged to be able to share that.” □

W

ith gun massacres in Nevada, Texas and Florida still fresh in people’s minds, California lawmakers are moving forward with no fewer than 10 pieces of legislation aimed at curbing the violence. And whether they were looking out their windows at the 6,000 marchers who descended on Sacramento recently, or are just taking inventory of a string of mass shootings in their own state, lawmakers seemingly have the motivation to push California’s reputation for gun control even further.

But how many of their bills have a real chance of passing?

There have been eight mass shootings in the Golden State since 2006, if mass shootings are defined as events in which five or more people are killed by a lone shooter.

Over that span, California legislators passed more than 18 bills linked to gun control. The most recent was Assembly Bill 785, signed in October, which bans individuals convicted of misdemeanor hate crimes from owning firearms for a decade.

Now, as the nation remembers the slaughter of 58 people in Las Vegas and 17 in Parkland, Fla., California leaders prepare to debate a package of new measures, including ones to: take firearms from people who have been hospitalized for suicide attempts twice in a year; raise the age to buy long rifles to 21; and allow people to put themselves on the state’s prohibited persons list, operating on a werewolf theory that at-risk individuals will try to stop themselves from killing during a lucid moment.

But if recent history is any indicator, there’s no guarantee that any of these bills will become law.

Assemblyman David Chiu’s AB 1663 rehashes a failed attempt to broaden the definition of an assault weapon in California to include largecaliber, semi-automatic rifles without fixed magazines. That bill died in committee two years ago.

Similarly, a bill by San Francisco Assemblyman Phil Ting to expand emergency intervention orders is also a retread.

Ting’s proposal would allow people other than family members to request that guns be temporarily confiscated from someone they’re worried about, giving co-workers, teachers and mental health workers that same authority. In 2016, Ting’s bill cleared both state houses only to be vetoed by Gov. Jerry Brown.

Amanda Wilcox, co-president of the Sacramento Valley chapter of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, acknowledges that some new bills present privacy and stigmatization concerns, and says her organization tries to muster its advocacy around the legislation it thinks can save the most lives. Wilcox adds she’ll lobby especially hard this year for AB 2222 and AB 2781, both of which give law enforce-

SIFT ER the growing divide The divergence of partisans’ views on climate change has widened over the past year, according to a recent Gallup poll. While a majority of Republicans in 2017 reported that most scientists think global warming is happening, a minority of GOP respondents now agree with that premise. Meanwhile, Democrats’ views remained unchanged. The news may not be that surprising given the political climate, especially since President Trump thinks it’s a hoax, or, as he put it: “The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing noncompetitive.” Here’s a look at some of the results:

2017 2018 Say most scientists believe it’s occurring Republican 53% 42% Independent 71% 65% Democrat 86% 86% Think the seriousness is exaggerated Republican 66% 69% Independent 32% 34% Democrat 10% 4%

ment more tools for tracing guns used in crimes.

Still, Wilcox says, nuanced policy fixes may not be fueling the current youth movement.

“The politics are changing with all the shootings, like Parkland and other recent ones,” Wilcox told the N&R. “We have a lot of newer advocates that are showing up to help us, but they might not be interested in intricacies of gun-tracing. But they get the idea of an 18-year-old buying a gun.”

That energy was on display during the national March for Our Lives. A diverse, emotionally charged crowd rallied to the steps of the State Capitol on March 24, seeking answers to the nation’s tide of mass shootings and the impotent government response to them. Many young people were following the lead of Parkland students, who created a political firestorm designed to make leaders feel the heat.

“Gun violence affects all students, no matter where you live,” said high school student Sky McNurty, who marched Saturday.

“We want real change and real action.

Instead, we get posters at school telling us to run in [a] zig-zag line in a shooting. We should not be learning survival techniques instead of preparing for math tests.”

Outside of Sacramento, roughly 500 people marched against gun violence in Republican-red Rocklin. Wilcox spoke at that event. After spending 17 years fighting to end mass shootings, Wilcox felt inspired by the number of teens marching in Rocklin.

“It’s very heartening,” she said. “We haven’t seen this kind of advocacy and interest from young people in the past. But their population has so much at stake. … This really gives me hope.”

Fed up Chico Friends on the Street rally at council meeting very Sunday for more than two years, Melissa Holmberg has Efound herself at the City Plaza,

providing free food and survival supplies to homeless folks.

A year ago, she went through some unfortunate circumstances— her car became her home until friends took her in. She had no money, no job.

“I never thought that I’d be living just like my friends on the street,” she told the City Council on Tuesday (April 3). “If you want to see the effects of trauma exponentially compound, then just take the roof out from over someone’s head.”

Though the topic of food giveaways at the City Plaza was not a scheduled part of an otherwise quiet, quick meeting, several members and supporters of Chico Friends on the Street showed up to address the council at the meeting’s end in response to comments made at the last council meeting, where Chico First members rallied to call for regulations regarding food-giving in public spaces.

Holmberg shared comments she said Mayor Sean Morgan made at a Chico First meeting she attended on Monday.

“I found the following quotes to be very disturbing: ‘The best that could happen in Chico is to provide no services, period, so they would be forced to leave,’” Holmberg read from her notes. She continued to say that the mayor announced that he only cared about Chico, not about the nearby communities in which Chico’s homeless population might end up, including Redding and Oroville, calling the latter a “Third World country.”

“Mayor Morgan insisted that Patrick Newman and his group Chico Friends on the Street are only sharing meals with homeless for purely selfish reasons, to make themselves feel good,” Holmberg continued. “Mr. Mayor, I just Melissa Holmberg replies to a statement allegedly made by the mayor calling Chico Friends on the Street’s motives of providing free food to homeless folks as selfish: “We are not afraid to look into the face of poverty and despair and we are not afraid to take action.” photo by AshiAh schArAgA

want you to know that we use our own money to provide for our friends on the street, the food and supplies, because we are compassionate and brave people. We are not afraid to look into the face of poverty and despair and we are not afraid to take action.”

Morgan refused to provide comment to the CN&R after the meeting. While seeking context for his comments, Holmberg told the CN&R via phone that she felt “he was dead serious about everything he said.”

Carol Eberling shared a different perspective with the council, that of being a child of the Great Depression who grew up in poverty. It’s comforting to remember the federal government’s compassionate responses to housing crises, she said: in the 1930s, a community called Greendale was created in Milwaukee, Wisc., with 572 units and rents ranging from $19-$46 per month to provide families relief from the shortage of low-income housing.

It’s a place that Eberling found beautiful upon visiting in the 1950s; a place she would have loved to have lived instead of the $7/month place her family could afford. Public housing assistance is necessary, she said.

“We have people living in the rough. Instead of complaining or making life harder for our street people, isn’t it better to look for a good solution, maybe work-

ing with [Chico Housing Action Team] or other people in Chico who are trying to help the homeless?” she said. “We’ve come a long way from the 1960s, when there was warmth and love and hope for the future. We need to find a way to create compassionate solutions for Chico’s current homeless population.”

Also on Tuesday, Robert Jones addressed the council as a CFOTS member. There is a pervasive narrative in Chico that demonizes, dehumanizes and disparages people living in extreme poverty, including veterans, those with disabilities or brain injuries and those suffering from addiction, the Chico State philosophy professor said.

“On display are the antecedents of what has, in the past, led to some of the most vile and repugnant expressions of a corrupted human nature,” Jones said. “My involvement with Chico Friends on the Street is not motivated by charity but rather by expression of my constitutionally guaranteed right to participate in a weekly protest of criminalization, failure to provide restroom access and the entire direction our city has taken in respect to visible poverty and our shelter crisis.”

As for the items on Tuesday night’s

agenda, the council chose to start treating short-term rentals (think AirBnB and Vacation Rentals by Owner/VRBO) like hotels, which

Transgender / gender nOnCOnfOrming Week 2018 April 5, Thursday 5:30 to 9 pm · Professional Training Focus on Education

means the city will begin collecting a 10 percent transient occupancy tax (or ToT) on reservations. How they are going to do so is the question: City Administrative Services Director Scott Dowell said he is going to propose the most efficient option, which, in some cities, has meant contracting with a company that works directly with short-term rental sites to collect the tax and give it to the city.

The ordinance comes back for a second reading before going into effect. Once it does, Chicoans with short-term rental properties will have to get a business license (an annual fee of $18 for three to five rooms; $18 plus $1 per room for residences with more than five). The vote was 5-1, with Councilman Andrew Coolidge voting against and Councilman Randall Stone recusing himself because his business generates revenue from AirBnB.

Other decisions worth noting:

• The council unanimously directed $50,000 from the general fund to the Chico Police Department’s radio system, which has broken transmitters.

• An agreement with the downtown property-based business improvement district was approved. Effective through 2022, it outlines important terms, including adherence to the Brown Act, record retention requirements and a $500,000 bond to protect against fraud. The PBID organization requested $17,000 in additional annual funding from the city, explained as reflecting the “general benefit” of the service being provided, most of which comes from the PBID Ambassadors. The city pays about $70,000 into the PBID, as it makes up 15 percent of the property assessments that fund the organization. The council chose not to make any motion on the request.

• Public Works will use $1.5 million in gas tax funding to reconstruct a portion of The Esplanade from Lindo Channel to East Avenue in spring 2019.

A new prescription Advocates offer new remedy for health care woes as a bridge to single payer

Rendon made sure of that by opposing it.

But the health care system is ailing, and organized labor, health care advocates and several Democratic lawmakers are offering a new prescription in the form of several bills. The measures could provide a bridge to a single-payer system in the future.

“Universal coverage is within our grasp,” Anthony Wright of Health Access California, the leading proponent of the package, said at a Capitol press conference last month.

The measures are intended to rein in health care costs, fend off Trump administration efforts to undermine the Affordable Care Act (ACA), provide lower-income Californians with greater access to care, and reduce pressure on Democrats to embrace

the costly single-payer concept. The overall cost is yet to be determined.

Backers say they hope to deliver them to Gov. Jerry Brown’s desk for his signature in the final months of his tenure. It won’t be easy. Measures that would cost money—and any significant bill would—probably would need to be approved before the deadline for adopting a new budget, July 1.

The announcement came a week after Covered California, which oversees the ACA in this state, reported that health care premiums for some ACA customers could rise as much 35 percent by 2021.

Separately, a report produced as part of an

Assembly inquiry into health care said 21 percent of Californians who have health insurance are considered under-insured, and cannot afford out-of-pocket health care expenses.

There are, for example, people earning $30,000 a year who have insurance policies requiring them to pay annual deductibles of as much as $6,000, an impossibility.

The proposal includes bills to provide greater subsidies for middle-income earners

who rely on the ACA and help them pay for prescriptions. Other measures would attempt to regulate health insurance company profits, including one by Assembly Health Committee Chairman Jim Wood, a Democrat from Healdsburg, to impose greater oversight when health care providers want to merge.

A bill by Senate Health Committee Chairman Ed Hernandez, a Democrat

from Covina, aims to prohibit the sale in California of the low-cost shortterm insurance policies, a concept that would undercut an idea pushed by the Republican-controlled Congress and President Trump. Democrats dismiss such policies as junk because they failed to provide basic coverage.

HEALTHLINES Wright said the coalition, which includes organized labor, consumers, immigrant advocates and groups such as Planned Parenthood, is advocating a stateonly individual mandate, intended to compel people to buy health insurance. Such a bill likely would require a two-thirds vote of the Legislature. Congress abolished the federal mandate that had been part of the Affordable Care Act. A goal would be to expand coverage to include more undocumented immigrants. The state already provides health care coverage for all children, including about 225,000 who are undocumented. Sponsors hope to extend that coverage, at a minimum, for undocumented individuals up to age 26, and elderly people.

Insurance companies and many

business groups surely will oppose most if not all the bills as too costly and burdensome.

From the left, the California Nurses Association is skeptical of the package. The union is a leading advocate for replacing our existing private insurance with a single-payer system, funded by taxpayers and administered by the state—and is an aggressive political force that pushes Democratic

candidates to embrace it Chuck Idelson, the union’s spokesman, said the union supports expanded coverage for undocumented immigrants, but called the proposal “fragmented” and said it would reinforce an insurance-based system that depends on profits.

“The leaders of California are sitting on their thumbs or taking half steps,” Idelson said.

Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has made a point of backing single payer in his Democratic bid for governor, was quick to issue a statement calling the package “a step in the right direction” toward universal coverage.

Democratic politicians worried about attacks from the left see the new package as a way to show voters, who are increasingly concerned about health care, that they are acting. No matter what comes of the roughly 20 bills, whoever becomes the next governor will need to grapple with health care coverage, costs, and the politics of it all. □

WEEKLY DOSE Does flossing work?

If you just ate a big plate of barbecue or a spinach salad, the obvious answer is yes. But The Associated Press reviewed 25 studies and concluded that flossing doesn’t have proven health benefits, and both the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and Department of Agriculture have removed it from their oral health guidelines.

Many dentists disagree, however, and that’s not likely because of lucrative stakes in something so inexpensive as waxed string. The connection between flossing and cavities is inconclusive, but the positive effect of flossing on preventing gum disease is clear, which is why oral health professionals still recommend doing it at least once a day. A toothbrush cannot reach between your teeth and flossing is the only way to remove stray bits of food that can cause gum inflammation. Almost half of Americans have gum disease, which is linked to heart disease, diabetes and other health conditions.

GREENWAYS

The outer limits Where are the conversations about our apocalyptic population growth?

by

Jaime O’Neill

T

he census of 1920 revealed that California

had a population of 3.4 million people.

Now, going on a century later, Los Angeles alone has about a half-million more people than that. As of last year, the Golden State had 39.54 million living and breathing souls.

When I came here in the early 1960s, there were fewer than 16 million people from San Diego to Eureka. Barring some enormous calamity, natural or manmade, we will have exceeded a population of 40 million by 2020.

In 1920, the estimated human population of the entire planet was under 2 billion.

By 2020, we are expected to have nearly quadrupled that number to 8 billion people, a population that will grow by roughly 20 million additional people each year.

We’ll be engaged in a presidential election when that year arrives. The last time we had one of those, there was no discussion of population growth. We heard from the eventual winner that manmade global warming was a hoax. We heard his determination to bring back the coal industry. But we heard nothing about the impact of rapid and ultimately unsustainable population growth.

By mid-century, we will be nearing a planetary population of 10 billion inhabitants. I won’t live to see that, but you will if you’re young or middle-aged, and I don’t think you’re going to like it much. By the end of the century, our numbers will have reached nearly 12 billion. Though there is no clear scientific consensus on the matter, it is widely believed that those numbers exceed the outer limits of a sustainable

human population.

This isn’t sci-fi dystopia and it’s not “fake news.” We are already awash in refuse. The Pacific Ocean has an expanding island of floating garbage bigger than France, Germany and Spain combined.

Plant and animal species are going extinct at an alarming rate, mostly due to loss of habitat. Clean drinking water is becoming harder to find for growing numbers of our fellow human beings. The growing gap in wealth has resulted in ever more millions of people living marginally, with lives as “poor, nasty, brutish and short” as they were in 1588 when Thomas Hobbes concocted his famous phrase to describe the human condition.

Stanford professor Paul Erlich warned us about apocalyptic population growth back in the late ’60s. He and his wife wrote a book—The Population Bomb—foretelling the consequences to come if we continued to ignore the accelerating growth in our number.

He appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and a range of other popular television shows. His ideas were discussed at scientific conferences. For a year or so, the phrase “population explosion” was in the mix of thought and concern most everywhere.

However, since our species has the attention span of a gnat, we turned to other matters—the ’70s disco craze, to cocaine, to wars and rumors of wars. There was plenty to worry about, and Erlich’s anxieties were a bummer, man. Besides, we were told there was a “green revolution” that would save our asses, with miracle synthetic fertilizers and other innovations that made Erlich’s doomsday prognostications seem hysterical. Now, even in the deluge of writing and thinking about sustainability, the subject of overpopulation seldom comes up.

Am I unduly pessimistic? Perhaps. We’re still

being reassured that technology will save us. But no matter how you imagine it, such growth in the number of hungry mouths, all in need of roofs and infrastructure and living space, is unsustainable. And since our species seems incapable of or unwilling to curb the growth in its numbers, it is inevitable that nature will take a corrective course and limit those numbers with a pandemic or two, a global calamity.

Or, alternatively, the growth in our numbers will lead to greater environmental degradation and famines that are sure to follow.

Already, the ocean’s fisheries are exploited, in danger of collapsing. Beyond those mounting perils, the planetary overcrowding is sure to increase human strain, tension and desire for territory. That will almost certainly lead to a series of wars—or one big one—that will reduce population in an orgy of death and suffering.

Our species has never shown much capacity for peace and harmony, and we get nastier when we are too many. Way back when I was in college, I read of studies being done on rat populations. As their conditions became more crowded, their tendency for violence grew exponentially. They began to eat their young.

In a somewhat less literal sense, we humans have been eating our young, too. We are consuming nonrenewable resources at an astonishing rate, despoiling the future home of our progeny like there’s no tomorrow, turning forests into deserts, rivers into sewers, oceans into cesspools. As we divert ourselves with sparkly tech toys, as we elect politicians intent upon expediting the looming disaster—ignoring global warming, pulling out of environmental accords, deregulating polluters, extending the tyranny of fossil fuels, stockpil-

ing ever more weapons of mass destruction— we are also ignoring the biggest elephant in the room, which is too many of our own kind.

We are procreating ourselves to death, a human plague upon the planet. No amount of recycling or organic backyard farming will be enough to offset this oncoming rush of additional human beings, a species of parasites busily devouring its host, where growth is seen by far too many as an unmitigated good thing.

Will those children of the future look back on our well-meaning but modest efforts to curb our impact on the planet? Or will they, like half the human population in our own time, be too busy trying to survive to give much thought and blame to the ways we failed?

So, what is to be done? We might start with reducing corruption by reforming campaign finance laws, by doing a better job of educating our young to the dangers that await them and to their duties as citizens in a democracy. We could stop electing people who play fast and loose with our delicate ecological balance. We could insist on leadership—locally, nationally, internationally— that puts sustainability ahead of growth. We could stop applauding when people boast about having lots of kids. We could do countless things, small and large, even as we fear that whatever we do may be too little and too late.

What we cannot do is stare into smartphones while remaining stupid, diverting ourselves with empty distractions. What we cannot do is continue to elect people who fail to factor population growth into every policy decision and program being planned. Most urgently, what we cannot do is do nothing at all. □

EVERYBODY’S BUSINESS photo By meredith J. Cooper

THE GOODS

Beauty prevails

Get your drink on

Alisa Woods’ philosophy on interior design is all about bringing beauty into your personal space—which is why she named her store A Beautiful Life Furnishings. But she doesn’t run any ordinary furniture store.

Aside from filling her showroom with colorful, modern pieces for any room in—or outside of— your house, she also hosts art shows every other month and holds art classes, plus lessons on personalizing the furniture you buy. Woods opened A Beautiful Life Furnishings 2 1/2 years ago after two decades of working in interior design in the Bay Area and on Maui. Visit her store at 250 E. First St. Wednesday-Monday, or check it out online at abeautiful lifefurnishings.com. Design consultations available.

Where do you find the furniture you sell?

I have found a source that lets me purchase floor models at interior design showrooms that are to-the-trade only. So, they bring in all-new items several times a year and when they do that, they need to liquidate their floor models. They usually all come in with a price tag on them, and if I can hold at that wholesale price, I absolutely do that and pass it along to my customers.

How did you end up in Chico?

The past few years, it seems every time I turn around, a new bar or brewery is opening in Chico. Well, there are two more in the works: The Commons and The Lab Bar and Grill. The former will be a self-service bar with taps of craft beer, cider and wine. It calls itself a “social empourium” and is in the final stages of construction over at 2412 Park Ave. (near Hooker Oak Distillery). The bar’s Facebook page suggests a mid-May opening—stay tuned for more.

The Lab, which is going in where The End Zone used to be (250 Cohasset Road), is being taken over by Chico Beer Enthusiasts. Kevin Jaradah, who runs that group as well as Spike’s Bottle Shop, announced via Facebook that the new bar will serve tasters and pints from 44 taps in beakers and other lab equipment. Plus, it’ll provide CBE with a regular meet-up space. Sounds fun! Expect more information by the end of April.

I stopped in Chico to visit my brother and sister-in-law, then I was going to go back to the Bay Area and look for a cute little town to move to. But I stopped here, and I was just like, “Why do I need to go over there?”

Why feature local artists?

I know how hard it is to be an artist and make money, so I sort of wanted to do a combination— where I brought in local art and showed it with the furniture and took away that part that people get really scared about buying local art. I wanted to show them how to mix it all together and how this matches that and you don’t have to match the sofa to the art or the art to the sofa. That’s something my mother taught me when I was really young—never buy the art to match the sofa. You buy the

art because you love the art, because it brings you emotion or beauty.

You also offer classes?

One of the things that happens with our furniture is sometimes it comes in with little dings and nicks on it. So, I needed to find a way to rectify that. I found a fabulous paint line, and I now sell the paint line, I paint things for people, and I turned it also into a class—if you want that shabby chic, that farm style, a European antique, we can kind of teach you all these different styles.

There’s really nothing better to me than when they come into their house and they see that piece of furniture and they love it and they go, “I did that.” It’s such a great feeling.

right half of what used to be Peet’s Coffee at the corner of Second and Main streets. A few co-workers and I took an afternoon stroll on over to check it out earlier this week and I’m happy to report (though not surprised) that the place was hopping. The strangest part of the whole experience was looking around and trying to remember what Peet’s layout had been. We pulled up Yelp photos of Peet’s to compare columns and doorways—it’s trippy! Turns out, they used a lot of Peet’s fixtures, which is exactly what I’d do in their place. Looks good!

While there, I ordered a blended Milky Way mocha, at the suggestion of the cashier, and a turkey, bacon and ranch panini. The mocha was awesome—smooth, flavorful, delicious. The panini also was quite good—unpretentious, a nice grill on the bread, tasty. Just not sure it was worth $9.50. But I’ll definitely be back for that coffee.

Poetry 99 A poetry contest for a poetry month

W

e get it. Word counts are tough. Like all newspapers, the Chico News & Review has to adhere to them with every issue. And for this edition of our annual Poetry 99 contest, we are proud to say that, for the first time in many years, all of the local wordsmiths whose work was chosen for publication met the restrictive guidelines and kept their poems to 99 words or fewer. Congrats, and thank you! And thanks also to our esteemed judging panel—the English teachers, instructors, published writers and editors of the 1078 Gallery Literary Committee—as well as all of the hundreds of writers who entered this year. Happy National Poetry Month, everyone!

Notes: Names are stripped from all stories before judging so writers’ identities do not influence their decisions.

And, in the high school division, two of the top finishers and two honorable mentions are from students at Table Mountain School inside Butte County Juvenile Hall. In order to protect their privacy, only first names are included with their stories.

FIRST PLACE

Natisha Williams

The Art of Diebenkorn For ages of rolling dust around my mouth, I saw the coast pull away in a charcoal smudge, a purple horizon that didn’t belong to us.

I found a place in the cityscapes, every woman a lounger in an empty room.

I know her and I can understand why she had to leave her sons in the hands of a hundred dollar bill.

She just couldn’t see how her shoulders blended with the yellow of the walls, how the edges of her skin formed to the fields beyond her, how every space depended on the shape of her body.

NATISHA WILLIAMS Ch ic o

Not only is Natisha new to Poetry 99, she’s also new to town. She’s been in Chico for only a few months since moving up from San Diego, but she’s wasted no time in making herself known, taking the top two spots in this year’s contest. She’s a land planner by trade and in her spare time enjoys writing poetry—which she got interested in via writing classes and the spokenword club in college.

SECOND PLACE While I Was Waiting for You

While I was waiting for you On the steps we never agreed to The movement of the birds Told me you were coming for me And when the wind blew leaves in front of me I thought in that direction I would find you And you would tell stories how you found my name on keychains Hanging in gift shops, from places like Tucson or Wyoming, Of endless stretches of land Sewn within a car window, How the tires moved like rubber toes Inching across a paved highway That ran from you for miles And into everyone you knew.

However, he insists that he’s written only “maybe three poems” in his life, including this one, which just came to him all at once.

I am soft, sensitive, tentative and that is not usually to my advantage, but I hope that my wavelength does not go unnoticed.

fantasy film, 3 Keys. It took four months to create the puppets, animation and practical by effects for a single scene, Howard and his most ambitious Hardee project to date consumed most of his free time over Preview: the last three years.

The roughly 15-minute film is the follow-up to Funk’s last major stop-motion project, Spaceman (2014).

“Spaceman was about this guy who builds a cardboard spaceship, goes to an alien planet and fights a monster, but there was no dialogue,” Funk said. “It was almost like a silent black-and-white film.

When I was making [3 Keys], I really wanted to push myself in every aspect. I wanted it to look better and sound better and I wanted to work with new people.”

The story starts with a psychiatrist (local actor Robert Donnelly) and his

patient (Funk’s sister-in-law, Brigette Funk), who has recurring nightmares. The dreams always start in a dark and spooky basement, where she finds three keys in front of a mysterious door. There’s an element of Alice in Wonderland as each key transports her to a different place.

“So, there are three different dreams I’m showing throughout the film,” Funk said, “and they all involve puppetry of some kind and sets and visual effects.”

3 Keys is set to premiere at the Museum of Northern California Art April 13 and 14.

The event will include a short behind-thescenes video, a Q&A session with Funk and the cast, and a display of puppets, Josh’s brother Jordan Funk goes green to film scary puppet scene.

miniatures and props from the film. A host of actors, artists and Chico State students (Funk teaches a course on animation) donated their time and talent to bring the project to life.

Funk has submitted 3 Keys to about 20 film festivals and contests, and it already won an Award of Excellence in FilmFreeway’s prestigious Best Shorts Competition.

The film incorporates elements of horror and suspense drawn from Funk’s own childhood fears, but it’s not at all gory, and falls comfortably into the category of a fantasy/thriller. He started writing the script in 2015, working mostly late at night while watching his sleeping newborn son, Jonah.

“I was thinking of childhood so much, and I started thinking about how I used to be scared to death of dolls,” he said. “I saw a clip of Chucky [from Child’s Play] on Entertainment Tonight and it just traumatized me. … I still have recurring nightmares about Chucky.”

He also borrowed from fairy tales, in which doors often serve as symbolic thresholds, and repetition of the number three also bears significance. As with any fairy tale, 3 Keys concludes with a moral.

Without giving away the ending, it’ll suffice to say the protagonist’s nightmares are rooted in her waking life.

“The main character is someone who refuses to admit that they do anything wrong,” he said. “Until they can admit their own faults, they’re not getting out.” □

The museum’s directors had decided the organ wasn’t a good fit with an automobile museum, said Dave Dewey, a “semi-retired piano tuner” who is managing the installation project.

At the time, STAGE hoped to have this “Miracle on Myers Street,” as it was soon dubbed, completed by Christmas 2013. Dewey laughed when he was reminded of this fact.

Right now, STAGE is facing a more daunting deadline: the State Theatre’s 90th anniversary celebration coming up this weekend. It will feature, among other events, the first performance by the new organ.

Dave Moreno, the Sacramento-based technician who is assembling the instrument, will provide sound for a double feature of silent films, including the Laurel and Hardy classic, Two Tars.

It’s a race against time, and volunteers have been deployed widely. Two blocks south, in the theater’s storefront workshop, Marie Wilson is punching out hundreds of leather washers for use in the valves that are part of the sleigh bells apparatus. In the theater lobby, four or five volunteers are planning for the anniversary celebration. Up in the balcony, other volunteers are working on the theater’s lighting.

Even if it all comes together in time, the installation won’t be fully finished, Dewey says. STAGE intends eventually to expand the organ into a second chamber that was built as part of the original theater but never used. The organ they’re now installing is sufficiently powerful to make use of both chambers, Dewey said.

STAGE also wants to build an elevator for the organ, so that it can be placed center stage and rise up as a performance begins. Finally, they want to create a working orchestra pit for use during musical-theater productions.

So far, they’ve spent about $100,000 on the organ.

Dewey cautiously estimates that, if all of their goals were met, the cost would be somewhere in the neighborhood of $3 million.

Dewey seemed undaunted. “We’ll just take it a step at a time,” he said. □

This is the end A darkly comic family drama for a postmodern world The Piano Teacher Hidden, Amour, etc.) is not in the business of making F“happy” movies, and his new film, the ironically titled ilmmaker Michael Haneke (

,

Happy End, is no exception to that rule. For all that, however, this grim-humored drama about three generations of a large, by Juan-Carlos wealthy and thoroughly unhappy Selznick family offers up a good many rewards for audiences not scared off by the prospect of an incisive and often surprising two-hour parade through a diverse array of distinctly modern human failings.

Elderly Georges Laurent (JeanLouis Trintignant), the family patriHappy End arch, is in declining health, and his Starring isabelle daughter Anne (Isabelle Huppert) Huppert, Jean-louis Trintignant, Mathieu has taken charge of the family conKassovitz and Fantine struction business in Calais, France, Harduin.

Rogowski), for an executive future.

Anne’s brother, Thomas (Mathieu Kassovitz), is a physician whose second marriage is in trouble.

There’s an upper middle class saga brewing in all that, but the real dramatic fire in Happy End turns up elsewhere and in somewhat unexpected quarters.

Thomas’ ex-wife falls gravely ill (it’s soon evident that she’s been poisoned), as a result of which 13-year-old Eve (Fantine Harduin) must come to live with her oddly distracted father. For Eve, the move is a mixed blessing, at best, and her mother’s poisoning is soon followed by a tragicomic string of family calamities.

There’s a major cave-in at a company work site; grandfather Georges drives a company vehicle into a

tree and ends up in a wheelchair; Pierre goes AWOL after the cave-in and tries to completely escape the family; the computer-savvy Eve discovers evidence of the romance-by-sexting that her father is having with a woman named Claire; grandfather Georges offers cash to homeless Africans if they’ll help him commit suicide; etc.

Suicidal wishes, fallacious declarations of love and a multigeneration deficit of empathy recur throughout Happy End. Those are time-honored elements of sadness in family sagas, and Haneke gives them a special contemporary sting by filtering them through the social media used by much of the family. Besides the quasipornographic love affair conducted by e-mail, there’s the oddly disturbing video footage of family members that Eve compiles on her smartphone. Pierre’s crazed and reckless display of breakdancing on a strobe-lit barroom stage seems part of that electronically amplified madness as well.

Haneke’s films are discomfiting. But, at least part of the time, the discomfort and unease are signs that he’s hitting very close to home. The performances he gets from the main players here, including the hauntingly grave Harduin, are examples of that, as are the brief but telling roles played by other luminaries.

Nathalie Richard, who does a cameo as a real estate agent, is a fresh breeze from a whole other world.

Hassam Ghancy, as Georges’ valet, evokes another civilization and its history. Claire, Thomas’ online lover, is seen mostly through the erotic texts the two of them share. But world-class musician Hille Perl appears onscreen as Claire—once while she’s texting alone in bed and once at the finish of a frenetic solo performance on viola de gamba—and she comes across as a furious, solitary, homeless goddess. The only thing better than that in Happy End is Rogowski’s berserk dancing. □

With its black superhero and predominantly black cast, and its special mixture of action fantasy and social history, Black Panther is a monumental cultural event. And a key part of its specialness is that it’s also a richly entertaining movie. Writer-director Ryan Coogler and co-writer Joe Robert Cole have produced a very engaging mixture of action movie and epic/utopian allegory.

It’s an impressively mounted production throughout, and even with elements that are routine or generic, it makes fine use of a large and appealing cast. Chadwick Boseman has the title role. He is T’Challa, the newly coronated king of the fictional African nation of Wakanda. His Black Panther-infused superpowers derive from vibranium, the super-strong metal that is the basis of Wakanda’s radically advanced technology. A key premise of the tale is that Wakanda has heretofore kept its highly developed civilization hidden from the rest of the world. Eventually, the new king will move to change all that, and Boseman proves to be well attuned

ventured beyond the borders of the United States, I feel that food story and has the ability photo by to transport Meredith J. Cooper you—to other countries, other m e re d i t h c @ cultures. new srev i ew. c o m Chico is lucky to have Vietnam Bistro a good variety 788 East Ave., of cuisines repre433-7108 senting flavors of Hours: Daily, 11 a.m.-9 p.m. different regions of our country and beyond. Last summer, we got a real gem when Vietnam Bistro opened on East Avenue, where Fast Eddie’s used to be, across from the movie theater. If nothing else, go there for the pho.

I am no expert on Vietnamese food, so I did a little research, and what I learned was pretty awesome.

The Vietnamese approach food in a very deliberate way. Each dish is expected to represent five elements, which correspond with flavors: wood (sour), fire (bitter), earth (sweet), metal (spicy) and water (salty). They also emphasize balance, both in flavors and temperature. Knowing that makes it simpler to understand why many meals are served compartmentalized, to be assembled by the eater rather than the chef.

My first visit to Vietnam Bistro was a late-afternoon takeout order

of wonton soup with egg noodles, which is pho with shrimp and pork wontons and, of course, egg noodles. This is the best soup I have had in a very long time, and that’s saying a lot. I love soup. I make my own stocks and have perfected chicken noodle, matzo ball and pork belly ramen varieties.

I also make a mean wor wonton soup. But I have a new challenge on my hands if I want to compete with Vietnam Bistro’s pho.

The flavor of the broth was bright and rich while maintaining that light, somewhat sweet flavor that pho is known for.

The wontons added depth to that flavor, while the noodles provided substance. The serving size, too, was substantial—I had to drink a good portion of the broth before I could add the noodles and other accoutrements (bean sprouts, a mix of green herbs). Perfection.

I returned with my boyfriend, Chuck, to try a few of the noodle dishes. He ordered the vermicelli with beef; I opted for the shrimp and egg roll. We also tried the popcorn chicken and potsticker appetizers. First, the latter: The popcorn chicken, little bite-size pieces of fried chicken, was divine.

Nothing particularly Vietnamese about ’em, but delicious. The potstickers, too, were very good.

If anything, I prefer mine more like gyoza than the thicker, softer, Chinese variety. These were somewhere in the middle. Satisfyingly

flavorful, nonetheless.

As far as the vermicelli is concerned, I preferred the beef over the shrimp. There was something about the texture of my protein that was off-putting, and it lacked flavor without adding a dash of the accompanying lime chili fish sauce. These were both meals that highlight the five elements as well as a balance of hot and cold. The noodles (wood), for instance, were served at room temperature, while the protein (earth) was hot and the herbs (fire) were cold. It made for a serious full-sensory experience, with the additional variety of textures.

Speaking of textures, there was something about the shrimp that I did not find appealing—they were rough, rather than plump and juicy. The egg rolls provided a satisfying crunch, but not a whole lot of flavor. The barbecued beef, however, was heavenly, giving me a serious case of plate envy. Chuck described his dish as “exceptional”; I’d return for the pho (and, in fact, already have), but not the shrimp vermicelli.

Reviews online indicate inconsistency with service—perhaps the language barrier or cultural differences turn some people off, but I experienced only friendliness. The dining area is minimalist, but nice.

The outdoor patio offers a change of scenery, though the view of the backside of Tinseltown is not all that interesting. □

IN THE MIX Guided by Voices rockathon records With so many bands coming and going, it’s a comfort when the classic ones stick around and thrive. Guided by Voices is a prime example; with the exception of a few dormant years, frontman Robert Pollard’s been leading the band since 1983, putting out dozens of records (counting his solo work, Pollard has penned more than 2,000 songs). The newest album, Space Gun, is on point and on par with some of their best work.

Things start strong with the opening title track, the rhythm section kicking in to join twin guitars and Pollard’s vocals for anthemic verses.

Songs like “Daily Get-Ups” and “Sport Component National” blend driving post-punk and buoyant rock and feel plucked from the mid-’90s underground. Pollard’s voice remains prominent and strong, carrying odd melodies like the one gluing the lowkey tune, “I Love Kangaroos.” There are no surprises in these 15 tracks, only a confirmation of GBV’s staying power.

MUSIC

—Robin Bacior

Rough Cut Curtis Salgado and Alan Hager Alligator records On Rough Cut, vocalist/harmonicist Curtis Salgado is joined by guitarist Alan Hager for a mix of traditional blues and originals. As Salgado explains, “We did it for the love of the music; these are deep songs we love to play.” Hager is a terrific guitarist whose playing brightens every song, and when they get into the blues—look out! His slide work on Muddy Waters’ jaunty “I Can’t Be Satisfied” is the perfect complement to Salgado’s in-the-pocket vocals. Hager’s slide guitar also enhances “You Got to Move,” Elmore James’ bouncy directive to a lazy lover. Salgado’s melancholic harp graces “Too Young to Die,” Sonny Boy Williamson II’s litany of fears about a tough woman: “I’m scared of that child,” he stresses. Salgado essays some relaxed boogie-woogie piano (!) on his “Hell in a Handbasket,” about a guy who never did anything in moderation, and we all know how that’s going to end. The disc’s highlight is his list of wishes song, “I Want My Dog to Live Longer (The Greatest Wish),” and who can argue with that?

This guy saves you money.

MUSIC

—Robin Bacior

Cnrsweetdeals.newsreview.Com

One of Tal National’s many strengths is bringing people together, whether it’s a crowd of hundreds at the band’s nightclub in its home country of Niger, international audiences during world tours, or just the band members themselves. The group is a reflection of the diversity its country, representing Songhai, Fulani, Hausa and Tuareg people. Part of what draws the players and audiences together is the band’s wide-ranging genre exploration. The song “Akokas” kicks off with an electric solo that feels sliced from a post-punk song, but as the percussive beats layer in, the rhythm morphs into a lively Tuareg blues.

“Belles Reines” is a breezy afropop tune with a fluttering finger-picked lead and leaping percussion. Each of these eight tracks features a different singer (seven of whom are regular band members), and the whole album is boosted by air-tight bright polyrhythms and palpable group energy. The closer, “Aminiata” is a testament to the band’s skill, with wild percussion cartwheeling alongside sing-along choruses.

rotAtor tuff The goal of the surgery is to re-anchor the torn tendon

back to the bone.

“La la la la … I’m sorry, I didn’t catch that. I was under the table with my fingers in my ears.” arts dEVo is grateful he didn’t do too much research ahead of his recent surgery to repair a torn shoulder tendon and reattach a bicep tendon that was barely hanging on. It turns out that clueless and exhausted was probably a better pre-op gameplan than informed and pissing myself.

Visions of bone screws and the annoyance of four weeks (so far) in an arm sling aside, it’s been pretty smooth going. (Thank you, dr. david schillen at shasta orthopaedics!) I’m just impatient and eager to put my shoulder to work fist-pumping my way through this beautiful spring.

On the bright side, after a few weeks off, I get to return to this column.

And dammit if I didn’t miss hanging with y’all! So much has happened—1078 Gallery’s new location was approved for live music, the upgraded Humboldt avenue skate Park opened, the sun came out. And so much is still happening: • Former Chico State music major Madeline Mathews—who goes by MaWd when she’s singing her rootsy indie tunes—moved to Los Angeles last year to pursue a music career and it looks like she’s starting to get some notice. This week, both LA Weekly and Buzzbands.la posted reviews online of her video for the impressively recorded, soulful, toe-tappin’ rocker, “Dark Room.” Visit her site, mawdmusic.com, to hear/see for yourself.

• amber sauer, the Paradise-raised singer who recently made it to the first battle round of the current season of The Voice singing competition (she was eliminated on the March 20 episode), has started a funding drive to finance the recording of an EP of original music. Visit gofundme.com/ambersauer to chip in.

• And there are some killer shows hitting Chico in the spring: Lost on Main has New Orleans’ Rebirth Brass Band April 17; new Big Room Manager Mahina Gannet has Cults (May 20) and son Little (May 27); man about town Jake sprecher has Big Business (Jared from KARP and Coady from Murder City Devils) at Chico Women’s Club June 7 and has also teamed up with naked Lounge booker Matt Leyrat for Valley Fever, a two-day garage-rock meltdown—featuring Guantanamo Baywatch, Jonathan Richman and 18 more local and visiting crews—at multiple downtown venues April 20-21; and new power-booking duo donald “spirit Molecule” Beaman and Boris “Mockingbyrd Coffee” Breckinridge have (to name a couple) Tourag guitarist Mdou Moctar at Naked Lounge May 22 and Chico fave Richard Buckner at the new Tender Loving Coffee on May 26. That’s all in addition to the CN&R’s CaMMiEs Finale (more info on page 30) with 13 local bands performing April 22 outside at Sierra Nevada’s new Container Bar next to the hop fields!

rip Molly Got the heavy news this past weekend that local artist Molly

amick died on Saturday, March 31. She was 52. Actually, her identity as “an artist” was a relatively recent development. Amick spent 22 years as a primary care and psychiatric nurse practitioner before retiring 2 1/2 years ago after being diagnosed with breast cancer. She’d always been a voracious collector of art, and in retirement threw herself into creating her own.

This past month she filled the walls of Beatniks for a one-woman art show (which closed, neatly enough, on the same day Amick did) and sold every piece but one. Another coincidence: The cover image for this week’s issue is one of Amick’s paintings, “The Ferryman,” a dark and lovely piece from her recent show that pairs well with the annual Poetry 99 issue.

The staff at the CN&R sends our condolences to Molly’s son, Atticus, and husband, Sterling Ogden. Rest in power, Molly.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY For the week oF april 5, 2018 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Eighty-

three-year-old author Harlan Ellison has had a long and successful career. In the course of publishing hundreds of literary works in seven different genres, he has won numerous awards. But when he was in his 30s, there was an interruption in the upward arc of his career. The film production company Walt Disney Studios hired him as a writer. During his first day on the job, Roy Disney overheard Ellison joking with a co-worker about using Disney characters in an animated pornographic movie. Ellison was fired on the spot. I am by no means predicting a comparable event in your life, Aries. On the contrary.

By giving you this heads-up, I’m hoping you’ll be scrupulous and adroit in how you act in the early stages of a new project— so scrupulous and adroit that you will sail onto the next stages.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Are

you an evolving Taurus or an unevolving Taurus? Are you an aspiring master of gradual, incremental progress or a complacent excuse-maker who secretly welcomes inertia? Will the theme of your next social media post be “The Smart Art of Compromise” or “The Stingy Glory of Stubbornness”? I’m hoping you will opt for the former rather than the latter in each of the three choices I just offered.

Your behavior in the coming weeks will be pivotal in your long-term ability to animate your highest self and avoid lapsing into your mediocre self.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you fly in

a passenger jet from New York to London, the trip usually takes more than six hours. But on January 8, 2015, a powerful jet stream surging across the North Atlantic reduced that time significantly.

With the wind’s extra push, several flights completed the trip in five hours and 20 minutes. I suspect you’ll have comparable assistance in the course of your upcoming journeys and projects, Gemini. You’ll feel like the wind is at your back.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Actor

Keanu Reeves’ career ascended to a higher level when he appeared as a lead character in the film Speed. It was the first time he had been a headliner in a bigbudget production. But he turned down an offer to reprise his starring role in the sequel, Speed 2. Instead he toured with his grunge band Dogstar and played the role of Hamlet in a production staged by a local theater company in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

I admire him for being motivated more by love and passion than by fame and fortune. In my estimation, Cancerian, you face a choice that in some ways resembles Reeves’, but in other ways doesn’t. You shouldn’t automatically assume that what your ego craves is opposed to what your heart yearns for and your soul needs.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A Leo sculptor I

know is working on a 40-foot-long statue of a lion. Another Leo friend borrowed $30,000 to build a recording studio in her garage so she can pursue her quixotic dream of a music career. Of my other Leo acquaintances, one is writing a memoir of her time as a black-market orchid smuggler, another just did four sky dives in three days, and another embarked on a long-postponed pilgrimage to Slovenia, land of her ancestors. What about you?

Are there any breathtaking challenges or smart gambles you’re considering? I trust you can surf the same astrological wave.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): How sexy is

it possible for you to be? I’m referring to authentic soul-stirring sexiness, not the contrived, glitzy, counterfeit version. I’m alluding to the irresistible magnetism that wells up in you when you tap into your core self and summon a reverent devotion to your life’s mission. However sexy it is possible for you to be, Virgo, I suggest you unleash that magic in the coming weeks.

It’s the most reliable strategy for attracting the spiritual experiences and material resources and psychological support you need.

by rob brezsny LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): According to

my analysis of the cosmic omens, your impact is rising. You’re gaining influence. More people are tuning in to what you have to offer. And yet your stress levels also seem to be increasing. Why is that? Do you assume that having more power requires you to endure higher tension? Do you unconsciously believe that being more worried is the price of being more responsible? If so, banish that nonsense. The truth is this: The best way to manage your growing clout is to relax into it. The best way to express your growing clout is to relax into it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The im-

mediate future will challenge you to revisit several fundamental Scorpio struggles.

For best results, welcome these seeming intrusions as blessings and opportunities, and follow these guidelines: 1. Your control over external circumstances will increase in direct proportion to your control over your inner demons. 2. Your ability to do what you want will thrive to the degree that you stop focusing on what you don’t want. 3. Your skill at regulating and triumphing over chaos will be invincible if you’re not engrossed in blaming others.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

I’m about to say things that sound extraordinary. And it’s possible that they are in fact a bit overblown. But even if that’s the case, I trust that there is a core of truth in them. So rejoice in their oracular radiance. First, if you have been hoping for a miracle cure, the next four weeks will be a time when you’re more likely than usual to find it or generate it. Second, if you have fantasized about getting help to address a seemingly irremediable problem, asking aggressively for that help now will lead to at least a partial fix. Third, if you have wondered whether you could ever retrieve a lost or missing part of your soul, the odds are more in your favor than they’ve been in a long time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The

French government defines books as an “essential good,” along with water, bread and electricity. Would you add anything to that list of life’s basics? Companionship?

Stories? Deep sleep? Pleasurable exercise and movement? Once you identify your “essential goods,” I invite you to raise the level of reverence and care you give them. Take an oath to treat them as holy treasures. Boost your determination and ability to get all you need of their blessings.

The coming weeks will be a favorable time to enhance your appreciation of the fundamentals you sometimes take for granted.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Buckingham Palace is the home and office of the Queen of England. It has been the main royal residence since Queen Victoria took the throne in 1837. But in earlier times, the site served other purposes. The 17thcentury English lawyer Clement Walker described the building occupying that land as a brothel, a hotbed of “debauchery.”

Before that the space was a mulberry garden where silkworms turned mulberry leaves into raw material for silk fabrics.

I see the potential for an almost equally dramatic transformation of a certain place in your life, Aquarius. Start dreaming and scheming about the possibilities.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Poet Caro-

lyn Forché is a role model for how to leave one’s comfort zone. In her early career, she earned writing degrees at placid universities near her childhood home in the American Midwest. Her first book mined material about her family; its first poem is addressed to her grandmother. But then she relocated to El Salvador, where she served as a human rights advocate during that country’s civil war. Later she lived and wrote in Lebanon at the height of its political strife. Her drive to expand her range of experience invigorated her poetry and widened her audience. Would you consider drawing inspiration from Forché in the coming weeks and months, Pisces?

I don’t necessarily recommend quite so dramatic a departure for you, but even a mild version will be well rewarded.

NOTICES CITATION TO PARENT TO MITCHELL MARES: PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on April 25, 2018, at 1:30 p.m. in Department TBD in the above-titled court at the North Butte County Courthouse at 1775 Concord Avenue, Chico, California 95928, the Petitioners, ANTHONY BRUSCHI and DENISE BRUSCHI, will petition the court to terminate the parental rights of MITCHELL MARES pursuant to Family Code Sections 7800 et seq. and Probate Code Sections 1516 et seq. By order of this court you are hereby advised that you may appear at the above-referenced action, then and there show cause, if any you have, why your parental rights should not be terminated, and why ALORA KAY SHAE JOHNSON should not be declared free from your custody and control for the purpose of freeing ALORA KAY SHAE JOHNSON for adoption.

The following information concerns rights and procedures that relate to this proceeding for the termination of parental rights pursuant to Family Code Sections 7860 et seq.: 1. Any person having the custody or control of the child, or the person with whom the child is, is REQUIRED TO APPEAR at the above-stated time and place of the hearing.

2. Since Minor is under the age of ten (10) years old, the Minor’s presence at the above hearing is not required absent the issuance of a court order after necessity has been shown.

3. At the beginning of the proceeding the court will consider whether or not the interest of ALORA KAY SHAE JOHNSON requires the appointment of counsel. If the court finds that the interest of ALORA KAY SHAE JOHNSON does require such protection, the court will appoint counsel to represent her, whether or not she is able to afford counsel.

4. This petition is filed for the purpose of freeing the child for placement for adoption.

5. Under Family Code Section 7862, “If a parent appears without counsel and is unable to afford counsel, the court shall appoint counsel for the parent, unless that representation is knowingly and intelligently waived.”

6. Under Family Code Section 7864, “the court may continue the proceeding for not to exceed 30 days as necessary to appoint counsel and to enable counsel to become acquainted with the case.”

7. Under Family Law Code Section 7883, “if a person personally served with a citation within this state as provided in Section 7880 fails without reasonable cause to appear and abide by the court order of the court, or to bring the child before the court if so required in the citation, the failure constitutes a contempt of court.”

(This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or conseted to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: April 24, 2018 Time: 9:00 a.m.

Dept: C-18 Room: Address of the court: Superior Court of California County of Butte 1775 Concord Ave. Chico, CA 95926.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Attorney for Petitioner: RAOUL J. LECLERC P.O. Drawer 111 Oroville, CA 95965 (530) 533-5661 Case Number: 18PR00133 Published: April 5,12,19, 2018
