EDITORIAL

A culture of disrespect An exchange between veteran Chico City Councilwoman

Ann Schwab and Chico Mayor Sean Morgan at the dais Tuesday evening (Sept. 4) was telling.

It followed Morgan ordering police officers in the council chambers to clear the gallery—everyone but the media and city staff were shooed out—following an orchestrated outburst by several members of the public (see Ashiah Scharaga’s report on page 9).

“We need to be able to treat each other in a manner that is respectful, so that we can be examples for the community,” Schwab said, once the dust settled.

“Well, it’s too late for that,” responded Morgan, under whose tenure the meetings have grown increasingly out of control.

Month in and month out, this newspaper bears witness to the council members’ cutting comments, petty arguments, snide accusations and, oftentimes, scowls. The combativeness is over the top. And it comes from both sides, though more so from the conservative majority. On this evening, among other things, it included longtime Councilman Mark Sorensen calling a colleague a schoolyard bully and then, in an ironic turn later in the evening, interrupting a community member during her allotted speaking time.

Sorensen, a former mayor and an administrator of

the tiny town of Biggs, knows better. As should all of the council members, considering they adopted a City Council Code of Conduct just a couple of years ago.

No. 7 on that list: “Be tolerant of all views expressed at public meetings.”

No. 8: “Refrain from abusive conduct, personal charges, verbal or written attacks made upon the character or motives of other members of the council, boards and commissions, staff or members of the public.”

The council is regularly out of step with this set of guidelines, and it’s ugly to watch. But members’ actions have larger implications. Indeed, how they’ve conducted themselves for years has bred a culture of disrespect.

We don’t think the protesters’ outbursts aided their efforts to steer the council away from bad policy, but we get where they’re coming from. They’ve grown tired of the council not listening to them. They’re fed up with the panel ignoring important community matters.

On Tuesday, they sent a message loud and clear that should clue in the council members to this mess of their own making. The only way to foster civility is to also display it. Ω

guns and titties.”

Of all the things being said about the damage Trump is doing to our country, little has been said about the coarsening of our culture, just how tacky, sleazy and tawdry it all is. Reading Trump’s tweets or hearing speeches he gives at rallies can leave people feeling like they need a bath. Real damage is being done to our national psyche, a collective sliming of our sense of ourselves, an assault on our dignity and identity as a people. We are now a kakistocracy, government by the least qualified and most unscrupulous people. And the tackiest.

From his old appearances on The Howard Stern Show to those creepy Access Hollywood tapes about “grab[bing] ’em by the pussy,” Trump and his consort of crooks and creeps have set the bar for class and decency well below the sewer level.

Anyone who thought the Donald couldn’t go much lower than when he invited Ted Nugent, the draftdodger, to the Oval Office severely underestimated the man’s complete lack of dignity, class and character. The stain he will leave on this nation will never fade. Ω

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

Closures and murders Last August, just about the time we at the CN&R were about to celebrate our 40th anniversary with a block party outside our downtown office, I learned that the granddaddy of alternative newspapers, New York City’s The Village Voice, had stopped its print operations and moved to an online-only format.

That storied paper started in 1955 and, like this one, made its name by speaking truth to power and keeping a finger on the pulse of the arts and culture scene. One of its founders was the journalist and novelist Norman Mailer. Among the many prestigious awards the Voice earned during it six-plus decades is the Pulitzer Prize—three of them, in fact.

And now, dear readers, that newspaper is finished. Last week, the Voice’s owner, a billionaire who’d operated the paper for just a couple of years with the intention of keeping it alive, made the announcement. Of course, this leaves New Yorkers with one less, well, voice.

Unfortunately, this is a scenario befalling cities throughout the nation in the digital age. That includes one close to home.

In a note to readers on Friday, Aug. 31, the 137-year-old Gridley Herald—a small paper covering mainly Gridley, Biggs and Live Oak— announced it was immediately ceasing operations. The culprit: the economy, but especially the rising costs of newsprint, according to its publisher/editor, Lisa Van De Hey, who worked there for 26 years.

Van De Hey wrote a heartbreaking goodbye in the final edition: “To think that this will be the last thing I write for the newspaper is so hard to grasp.

“Many, many thanks to my devoted and loyal staff who are all close friends, I love you all.”

The Herald’s parent company, New York-based GateHouse Media, owns hundreds of publications, including nearly 700 community papers. The closure, which reportedly took place after giving employees a single day’s notice, leaves these communities in a local news desert.

Considering Gridley was only sporadically covered by the Chico Enterprise-Record back when that paper had a sizable stable of reporters, there isn’t much hope the daily will pick up the slack.

Fortunately, however, according to a rogue post on the Herald’s Facebook page, the paper’s former prep sports reporter, David Vantress, is going to continue the region’s coverage of that realm despite the closure by its “corporate overlords.” Find his work on Facebook by searching for Southern Butte County Prep Sports Zone.

Vantress doesn’t mince words on the new page: “[He will produce] the same high-quality coverage readers came to expect from the Gridley Herald before its greedy, sleazy, shady, unprofessional corporate owners decided to pull the plug last week.”

I’m cheering for him.

In not totAlly unrelAted newS ... I hope you’ll take the time this week to read our cover story, by Ken Smith, a writer we often turn to for historical narratives. This one is about a double murder that took place in Chico in the 1930s, and it involves much drama, as we learned from old newspaper clippings, but it also has a modern twist. One of the central characters is a San Diego man with a passion for research—he contacted me months ago to relay what he’d discovered. I was hooked and contacted Smith, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Labor under Trump As we celebrated Labor Day, brought to you by organized labor—the people who brought you the weekend, the 40-hour work week, minimum wage and much more—many tried to demonize unions and claim that their influence is waning.

Meanwhile, under Trump’s tax bill, CEOs’ pay has risen to 271 times their average worker’s pay of $58,000, according to the Economic Policy Institute. Average CEO pay for the top 350 companies in the U.S. is $15.6 million (does anyone really need $15.6 million?). In 1978, the ratio was 30 times the average worker. Over these years, workers’ wages rose 11.2 percent while CEOs’ rose 937 percent. The U.S. worker continues to be the most productive in the world.

The Waltons—owners of Walmart and the richest family in the U.S. with a net worth of $149 billion, according to Forbes—got there on the backs of 1.3 million nonunion workers and

U.S. taxpayers by limiting worker hours to get around pay and health coverage and encouraging workers to apply for Medi-Cal because they don’t pay a living wage.

Next year, as we enjoy our holiday, let’s give organized labor a small thank you and try to put a stop to this obscene greed.

Rich Meyers Oroville

‘Misbegotten vessel’ America has become a misbegotten vessel floundering on a sea of disregard, with Captain Clueless at the helm, navigating his seas of deception. He’s under attack, cornered, paranoid; his self-image faces humiliation. His leadership is in question.

In moments of diplomatic overtures and national oversight, leadership in these matters calls for a president who is polite, thoughtful and respectful. What we have with Captain Thumbs is rude, inconsiderate and arrogant.

Which is why we should question his policies.

Andrew Wheeler, former lobbyist for coal company Murray Energy and acting administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, has announced the dismantling of Obama-era emissions regulations on coal-burning plants, touting job creation, ending the “war on coal,” forgetting to mention the “war on life.”

The administration’s own recently released analysis outlines jobs aren’t the only things that will increase. They anticipate as many as 1,400 more premature deaths annually by 2030 due to the increase of airborne fine particulates, which are linked to heart and lung disease. Their report went on to say there will be up to 15,000 new cases of upper respiratory problems annually, a rise in bronchitis, and tens of thousands of missed school days.

All for a few more votes?

Roger S. Beadle Chico

In support of newspapers The tragic shooting in June at the Capital Gazette in Annapolis, Md., also brings into focus how precious our community newspapers are.

As crucial as their central task is, to inform us about local issues, they do so much more: highlight area organizations and businesses; affirm principled values and standards; provide space for ads, opinions and other submissions … glue that helps hold our communities together. And at such a paper the people doing the work are not part of a faceless monolith, but are our neighbors, accountable and committed (no one takes a newspaper job to get rich).

I realize, if you are reading this, that I am likely preaching to the choir. So, to my fellow newspaper faithful: Let us not take these assets to our communities for granted.

If their financial backing were to falter, would we respond? I read that in Sonoma County residents are buying stock in their newspapers in an effort to save them. It is hard to truly appreciate something until it’s gone, but we must try, in these difficult times for community newspapers, to stay aware of what these papers mean to us, and give them all the support we can.

Joe Wills Chico

The road to worse The right wing of the Chico City Council scrambles to inflict even more of the thoughtless damage it has wrought under Mayor Sean Morgan’s waning tenure. Affluent and authoritarian representatives of the status quo have persuaded the council to deny the shelter crisis that has plagued the city for more than half a decade and to reinvigorate inherently unconstitutional and wholly ineffective criminalization statutes that make it illegal to perform activities of daily living if you are unhoused.

There is a strain of conservatism that strives to prove its theory that government is always incompetent by assuring it is whenever they’re in majority. Throw in with the right if you will, as it barrels along most oblivious to the standards, practices and insights of those scholars and professionals immersed in the field, but it will surely lead to even more detention

camps soon and to even worse once that becomes too expensive.

Dan Everhart Chico

Editor’s note: The Chico City Council is expected to discuss the shelter crisis issue at its Sept. 18 meeting.

Note to pro-lifers I know what it’s like to be homeless. Because of family dynamics, I found myself in this situation and spent a couple of months at Sabbath House at the Jesus Center.

I spent five years on a waiting list for low-income housing while I rented rooms. I’m 80 and live on Social Security.

But I’ve never considered myself to be a person who holds judgment to homeless people until today. While waiting for a bus, I met a family with eight children under 12 and another on the way.

They live at the Torres Community Shelter.

Here is my rant for all you “right to life” people. You want people to keep having babies and you close the Planned Parenthood centers and work your butts off to cancel Roe v. Wade, but you certainly don’t want to care for those children after they are born. I don’t think taxpayers should have to pay support for more than two children and everyone who can work should work.

We need a new Conservation Corps where homeless workers live in dorms and we take some of that prison money and train people in building trades, etc. We can rebuild America—as soon as we get rid of our corrupt government.

He’s choosing Denney A woman stepped forward to the pharmacy counter, with her two children in tow, to pick up medication. When the pharmacy technician asked about her co-pay and showed her the slip stapled to the bag with the price, she froze.

The technician asked, “Do you want me to put it back?” She softly replied, “Yes.” Doug LaMalfa, our congressman, receives contributions from a super PAC that pours money into the war chests of Republican candidates across our nation. The PAC receives big contributions from major drug manufacturers.

This “dark money” from Big Pharma ensures that drug prices in our country remain the highest on earth.

Audrey Denney, the Democrat challenger for LaMalfa’s congressional seat, does not accept corporate contributions. It’s a grassroots campaign with 4,500 individual contributions so far. A growing number of people support her.

If she wins, that mother and her family, and families like them, will finally be represented by a human being who cares about them, as opposed to LaMalfa and his super rich constituency.

Denney will need your vote on Nov. 6. Please calendar the date and visit her website, where you can get to know her and, if your circumstances permit, make a donation to her campaign.

I assume a comprehensive, independent assessment of Cal Fire’s performance in tackling this monster fire, identifying strengths and weaknesses, will be accomplished and made available for public review.

While we await such an assessment, I offer a few of my own observations: 1. During the early days of the fire, it was impossible to gain

reliable information regarding the fire’s status and projected path. Cal Fire public information officers should be front and center starting the first day of the fire holding frequent media updates on fire status.

2. A single official source of information about the fire was needed, with access to a current fire map, road closure and evacuation lists, shelter locations, structure and repopulation maps, incident update reports and links to key supporting agencies.

4. A Cal Fire toll-free number would be helpful, with options for the latest on fire status, evacuations, road closures and important information.

Dare I say, lessons learned from the Carr Fire will better prepare us for the next big one.

Farewell, Sen. McCain I sneaked into the hotel room in New Hampshire in 2000 where John McCain and 150 supporters had gathered when he was declared the winner of that state’s presidential primary, beating Bush Jr. by 43,276 votes.

I went to many presidential candidate rallies and campaign offices. At McCain’s office, I spent time with many former “roommates” of his from the “Hanoi Hilton.” As a Vietnam veteran myself, I appreciated their service and what they endured as POWs. And I talked to McCain several times.

Long before I met McCain, on my first visit back to Vietnam in 1985, I toured the “Hanoi Hilton,” and went to the lake he landed in after ejecting from his plane.

I thought long and hard about McCain’s five years as a POW. What I really appreciate about McCain is how, despite what he went thru as a POW, he worked hard with President Bill Clinton in establishing diplomatic and trade relations with Vietnam. Thank you, John, and R.I.P. Bob Mulholland Chico

Our gifted and talented cousin Charles did more for this nation than all of the McCain family combined. At only 19 he was flown home from Vietnam in an appalling red, white and blue

rectangular prism. Youthful and vibrant Chuckie was not given an opportunity to orchestrate his own elaborate and self-congratulatory funeral because half of him never found its way home. Such human slaughter and this week’s deification seem fully unnecessary.

The death of Sen. John McCain has not left a void in our country. It has left a chasm I cannot see being filled by any of his contemporaries.

In a time when the one thing this country needs most, men and women of virtue and integrity, we have lost one of the greatest. His duty to his country and his fellow man far exceeded his duty to party and politics.

Nice stadium Last night, my wife and I decided to attend the first football game in Chico High’s new stadium, and I must say it was quite an impressive event. The venue itself is truly first-class—every square foot of space is beautifully laid out and appointed. The engineers, architects and contractors did an amazing job to make this stadium the best I have ever seen at a high school.

Equally impressive were all of the participants and staff in attendance at the event. The band, cheerleading squads and choir were a joy to watch and all were excellent in their execution of duties. There are obviously a lot of positive activities for students to choose from at that school and the school pride showed.

The students, staff, administration, sports boosters, parents, coaches and everyone associated with the event should be congratulated on a job well done!

And the icing on the cake—the football game was entertaining as well and Chico High won their first game in the new stadium!

All abusers deserve prison The pope must actually start using imprisonment as a deterrent for one of the most heinous crimes possible, that of child sexual abuse.

Not just sentencing them to “a life of penance and prayer.” He has all the legal authority he needs to imprison almost anyone who is in Vatican City.

The statute of limitations shouldn’t matter; the pope is the sole sovereign of the nation-state.

People who sexually abuse children—especially repeatedly—must spend the rest of their lives imprisoned. I believe this is the only way to begin to restore the dignity of the Vatican and the religion as a whole. And more importantly to do some measure of justice to the

NEWSLINES DOWNSTROKE STONEGATE UPDATE

Stonegate, a proposed subdivision for southeast Chico, will go to the City Council on Sept.

18 with a recommendation for approval from the Planning Commission.

Epick Homes’ 313-acre development would bring over 600 housing units to Chico, but has generated controversy because it is situated on a vernal pool habitat, home to species such as the endangered Butte County meadowfoam.

The vote to recommend certification of the project’s environmental impact report and adoption of a mitigation monitoring and reporting program fell 4-2, with Commissioners John Howlett and Lupita Arim-Law dissenting, citing environmental concerns.

When it came to recommending approval of a general plan amendment, rezone, vesting tentative subdivision map and use permit, the vote was 5-1, with Howlett against. Commissioner Evan Tuchinsky (also a contributing editor at this paper) recused himself due to a potential conflict of interest.

BUILD.COM EXPANDS IN CHICO

Locally founded Build.com has expanded its presence by opening a second facility in Chico, a tech hub on East 20th Street.

The home improvement e-commerce company remodeled the 8,780-squarefoot building previously occupied by United Healthcare to accommodate 70 employees.

It’s located by Meriam Park, which the firm said in a news release “will soon bring a thriving new technology community nearby.”

The facility—closed to the public—opened on Monday (Sept. 3).

The company has expanded numerous times since its founding in 2000. Its 51,585-square-foot Otterson Drive headquarters houses over 600 employees.

OROVILLE DECLARES SHELTER CRISIS

Jumping ahead of other Butte County municipalities—including Chico—the Oroville City Council voted unanimously Tuesday night (Sept. 4) to declare a shelter crisis.

The declaration gives Oroville organizations access to the Butte Countywide Continuum of Care’s potential $4.9 million share of state funds allocated to address homelessness. Vice Mayor Janet Goodson (pictured) told the CN&R by phone that funding will boost existing and “grassroots” programs, calling it “a golden opportunity to which we could not turn a blind eye or a deaf ear.”

The vote was 5-0, with Mayor Linda Dahlmeier and Councilman Scott Thomson absent.

The Chico City Council will take up the issue at its next meeting, Sept. 18.

Muddy waters Local mine faced with mitigation measures, potential fines in contamination investigation

M any other waterway in Butte County’s eastern foothills, but heavy rain makes the

orris Ravine Creek is usually as clear as

water run the color of chocolate milk.

That’s not normal. According to Josh Brennan, a warden with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), storm conditions churn up unnatural deposits of sediment that settle into cracks and crevices within the creek, burying the bases of trees in several inches of sand and smothering most aquatic life.

“Most of the time, it looks like a nice creek,” Brennan said, “but the creek is essentially dead.”

The source of the sediment by is Morris Ravine Mine, a 240Howard acre silica quarry and processHardee ing plant about 4 miles north of Oroville, Brennan told the CN&R. The excavated hillside is visible from Cherokee Road on Table Mountain, but most of the property is hidden from public view. When the holding ponds on the site overflow during storm conditions, the runoff enters the creek and flows downstream, creating a light-brown plume as it enters the Feather River near Oroville Dam. Brennan believes the mine is causing severe environmental damage to the waterway. In 2015, he filed a report with the Butte County District Attorney’s Office, but the DA declined to prosecute the mining company—Oroville-based Mineral Resources LLC. The DA instead referred the case to the state-run Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board, which is now investigating Mineral Resources.

A full-scale, court-mandated cleanup likely would shut down the mine, Brennan said. The company employs 35 local workers.

“Just from my experience, I know the cleanup measures on something of this magnitude would be horrifically expensive,” he said. “You could imagine what that would do to the operation.”

Mineral Resources has consistently failed to

monitor and report stormwater discharges dating back to August 2013 and has a history of violating the terms of its general industrial permit, according to a water board inspection report dated July 20.

In November 2015, the water quality board served a notice of violation to Chris Van Veldhuizen, the company’s president, for failing to develop an adequate dischargeprevention plan and using substandard pollution-control technologies. The next July, citing a lack of progress, the board issued a cleanup and abatement order with a deadline of Jan. 1, 2017. According to the report, the mine was still in violation past the deadline. “[Mineral Resources] has complied with some of our requirements but certainly not

all of them,” said Bryan Smith, a water resource control engineer with the Central Valley Water Quality Control Board. “There are ongoing water-quality concerns at the facility. We simply don’t have the information, at this point, that shows they have completed the required actions to ensure water quality will be protected into the future.”

The damage wrought upon MorrisRavine Creek has been significant. In March 2016, surveyors estimated that the creek had been inundated with more than 1,200 cubic yards of sediment—enough sand to fill roughly 85 standard-size dump trucks.

If the conditions persist, the water board may enforce a fine of $10,000 per day of violation, Smith said: “Financial penalties are certainly on the table. Our main interest is achieving the water quality protection we need out there, and if we have to pursue enforcement through fines, we will.”

The mine also is facing a legal challenge from the California Sportfishing Protection Alliance, according to Legal NewsLine. On June 13, the nonprofit group filed a com-

California Department of Fish and Wildlife warden Josh Brennan at Morris Ravine Creek.

plaint against Mineral Resources and Van Veldhuizen in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California, alleging that the polluted stormwater discharges violate the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (aka Clean Water Act).

The group is seeking civil penalties of $37,500 per day day of violation.

Van Veldhuizen responded to the CN&R’s questions via email. He said Mineral Resources is striving to improve conditions at the mine and cooperate with state water regulators despite the company’s financial difficulties, spending some $4 million over the past two years on slope stabilization, grading and revegetation efforts.

Additionally, the company has installed a more efficient water-recycling system to reduce the discharge of wastewater into holding ponds. Part of the problem is that the geological composition of the area is prone to erosion, according to Van Veldhuizen.

“Undoubtedly, the site has faced historical challenges with stormwater management,” he wrote.

Carol Oz is a retired water quality specialist with CDFW. Speaking with the CN&R from her home in Calaveras County, she recalled her first visit to Morris Ravine Creek with Brennan in the spring of 2015.

“That stream was completely sterile when I was there,” she said. “There was nothing.”

The survey compared the creek to another small waterway in the area that is unaffected by the silica mine. At the control site, she discovered a healthy watershed and thriving ecosystem of fish, insects and macroinvertebrates that animals up the food chain depend on. When Morris Ravine Creek “runs chocolate,” she said, sand covers the pebbles and cobbles, stifling many species’ ability to find food and reproduce—especially for wildlife that lays eggs, such as salmon.

“It’s like if you were sitting in your living room and somebody filled it with flour,” she said. “Fish can’t see in it and their gills have pretty sensitive lining.

They can’t get away from predators, see to eat their food, and they have trouble breathing.”

There’s no question that Morris Ravine Creek is being suffocated by silica fines, Oz said. Left unchecked, the runoff will result in “chronic decay of the ecosystem.”

“It’s basically unregulated discharge wiping out a whole stream,” she said.

“I would say it’s stunning that it’s still going on.” Ω

Kicked out Mayor clears City Council chambers after sit/lie ordinance protest

“We demand an immediate end to criminalizing

poverty! We demand housing for all!”

A group of people shouted those demands—and others—inside the Chico City Council chambers during Tuesday night’s meeting (Sept. 4), after it appeared that the panel’s conservative majority was moving toward reinstating the controversial sit/lie ordinance.

What ensued at the dais was hard to hear.

A frustrated Mayor Sean Morgan, who’d already called for three separate recesses due to clapping and whooping interruptions that evening, pounded the gavel and police officers escorted all attendees, aside from a few members of the media, out of the chambers.

It was an unprecedented sight for City Clerk Debbie Presson, who’s been with the city for nearly 20 years.

What followed was a lengthy discussion about not only sit-lie, but also incivility from the gallery as well as the dais, as council members made accusations of politicking and traded insults. (At one point, Mark Sorensen called fellow Councilman Karl Ory a “big schoolyard bully.”)

“We need to be able to treat each other in a manner that is respectful, so that we can be examples for the community,” Councilwoman Ann Schwab reminded.

Morgan replied, “Well, it’s too late for that.”

Three hours into the meeting, and after more than 40 speakers from the public, the choice to direct the city attorney to draft a new sit/lie ordinance fell predictably along party lines: 4-3, with Councilmembers Schwab, Ory and Randall Stone dissenting.

The one-page staff report on sit/lie, signed

by Police Chief Mike O’Brien, explains that during the time the city’s ordinance was in effect—Dec. 19, 2013, to Jan. 1, 2016—56 citations were given to 39 people, and 247 verbal warnings were given to 221 people.

From Chico Police Deputy Chief Matt Madden’s perspective, reinstating it would grant police “legal authority” to detain and

SIFT ER Death by gun The Journal of the American Medical Association just published the Global Mortality From Firearms: 19902016 report, which underlines the scale of the threat to public health posed by gun violence. In 2016 alone, 251,000 people worldwide died from firearm-related injuries. Casualties of war, terrorism and police shootings were not included—victims of mass shootings that were explicitly deemed homicides, as opposed to acts of terror (such as the incident at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando), were included in the numbers. The U.S. had the second highest number of gun-related deaths (37,200) of any country in 2016 (behind Brazil at 43,200), and had the 20th highest death rate at 10.6 per 100,000 (El Salvador was highest, at 39.2; Singapore was lowest, at 0.1). Of the global numbers, 64 percent were due to homicide, 27 percent suicide and 9 percent accidental. The U.S. had the second-highest suicideby-firearm rate, with 6.4 per 100,000 people, or 60 percent of its overall gun-related deaths.

investigate individuals when necessary for sitting and lying on public sidewalks, curbs and streets in commercial districts for extended periods between the hours of 7 a.m. and 11 p.m.

Council and citizen proponents of the ordinance argued that it would be a useful tool for police, and that it does not target homeless people but rather transients and vagrants.

“We’re talking about uncivil, rude behavior, much like the behavior that led to the council being cleared earlier,” Sorensen said.

“These are people demanding respect when they show absolutely no respect for anybody else? No.” Schwab said she chose not to support reinstatement of the sit/lie ordinance because it would “criminalize something people are doing because they have no other option, no other place to go.” Her comments echoed many members of the public who’d spoken in opposition to the ordinance.

“We all want to have fewer people on the street. We all know it is cheaper to offer services than police protection,” she said.

“We need safety of our most vulnerable people. We need to address this problem in the way that will eliminate the need for a sit/lie ordinance.”

Ory and Stone both called the timing of the discussion a political stunt during an election year in which Councilman Andrew Coolidge is the only incumbent running for re-election. Three conservative seats are up for grabs on what’s now a conservativemajority council.

Stone also returned to the criticism he voiced back in 2013, which is that a sit/lie law would drive the problem deeper into neighborhoods. “This is a waste of time,” he said. “It’s nothing more than political shenanigans.”

Coolidge, who originally proposed the discussion, defended himself by stating that his motivations were derived from a concern surrounding public safety and that time was paramount for the issue.

However, the discussion comes at a time when sit/lie laws are being examined in federal court.

That same day, in fact, the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals made a ruling regarding laws of this nature: Certain conduct cannot be criminalized if it is an unavoidable consequence of being homeless, it declared.

City Attorney Vince Ewing will consider that ruling as he drafts an ordinance. Any law that has an enforcement mechanism in place when there are no beds available and folks are told they cannot sit/ lie/camp on sidewalks could “run afoul,” he said.

Also at the meeting:

• The council directed staff to bring back funding options to make the Chico PD’s Street Crimes Unit permanent. It currently operates during the summer while Chico State students are away. Estimates for a three-officer unit were quoted at $690,000 per year, while a seven-officer team was quoted at $1.3 million.

• Ordinance 2490, which would have allowed Chico Scrap Metal to remain on East 20th Street, was repealed during its final reading.

• A six-month progress report on Butte County Behavioral Health’s partnership with Chico PD that formed a Mobile Crisis Team garnered criticism from attendees for being vague, though it received positive comments from department heads, who reported 194 responses to individuals in crisis since April.

• The council nixed proposed changes to the building code that would require energy retrofitting on any remodels of more than 50 percent of a home or apartment.

Blue rift ‘Dark money’ bill pits Democratic legislators against rising progressives

Did top-ranking Democrats in the state house

declare war on the California Democratic Party? That question was in the air as the legislative session entered its final days, after two Democratic state senators voted to move forward a bill co-authored by the speaker of the Assembly, one that critics describe as the biggest rollback of campaign finance reform in a decade.

In doing so, the two senators—the speaker and veteran Democratic Assemblyman Kevin Mullin—ignored deafening protests from party leaders, along with some 50 Democratic clubs and central committees and most good governance organizations in the state. The controversial bill headed for floor votes in the Assembly and Senate, pushing more elected Democrats to jump in a fight over the future of the party.

When Daraka Larimore-Hall walked out of the state house Aug. 14, he needed a cigarette and a few moments to calm down. LarimoreHall is the vice chair of the California Democratic Party. He had just made an impassioned plea to the State Senate Standing Committee on Elections and Constitutional Amendments to kill Assembly Bill 84.

The measure, he argued, would take Democrats in the opposite direction from the will of the people. Larimore-Hall then watched two Democratic senators ignore him in the committee hearing and push AB 84 forward.

But those veteran politicians weren’t just ignoring Larimore-Hall and the California

Democratic Party; AB 84 also faces adamant opposition from the California League of Women Voters, the California Clean Money Campaign, California Common Cause, the California Public Research Institute, and Indivisible and Democratic central committees from Fresno to Glenn counties.

Authored by Mullin, the bill allows the Assembly

speaker, the Senate president pro tem and both minority leaders to create new leadership party caucus committees—organizations that would be allowed to accept campaign contributions of up to $36,500, which is eight times the legal limit for individual candidates. The bill also permits those caucus committees to move unlimited funds toward campaign expenditures for candidates within each leader’s respective party.

The ability for legislative leaders to financially circle the wagons around their allies led California League of Women Voters Deputy Director Dora Rose to call AB 84 “an incumbent protection act.”

Rose was among those protesting on the Capitol lawn an hour before testimony began on Aug. 14. During the hearing, Mullin had zero experts or witnesses speaking in support of his bill.

“The reality is elections in California are enormously expensive,” Mullin pointed out.

“To get your message out, it is increasingly expensive, and until we come up with another way, like public financing, we have to fundraise to get elected and stay elected.”

Mullin also stressed his bill requires campaign finance disclosure forms to be filed more often.

But Larimore-Hall countered that AB 84’s modest gains in transparency could have been done without creating four new avenues for corporations and special interest groups to channel money to legislative leaders.

“You know, the Democratic Party isn’t known for being always in lock-step,” Larimore-Hall said at the hearing, “but for a party that has been at each others’ throats for the last year … this bill has unified the party more than anything I’ve seen.”

Larimore-Hall also noted that, though the state party currently can accept donations at that $36,500 limit, it has officially banned contributions from big oil, the private prison industry, charter schools and tobacco corporations. That won’t necessarily be the case with the four new caucus committees.

“We made those decisions, tough as they are … because of overwhelming pressure from our grassroots activists,” Larimore-Hall told committee members. “It was a democratic decision. AB 84 would allow [legislative] leadership to sidestep that democratic decision.”

Yet committee member Robert Hertzberg, a San

Fernando Democrat who’s been a legislator since 1996, expressed skepticism about leaders in the Assembly and Senate being bound to what he called “factions” in their parties, especially in an era of Democrats vying against Democrats in California’s open primaries.

Hertzberg also questioned what was wrong with allowing the new caucus committees to accept up to $36,500, since both state parties do that now.

Nicolas Heidorn, policy and legal director for California Common Cause, had a response: “The party doesn’t make laws, you guys make the laws.”

Not long after Heidorn’s comment, Democratic committee member Connie Leyva of Chino announced she was supporting AB 84 because of the beating some in her party recently took at the hands of shadowy super political action committees. “This might be a way to fight back,” Leyva said.

The committee voted 3-2 to forward the bill, with Democrats Henry Stern and Benjamin Allen voting against it. As he left, Larimore-Hall told the N&R, “This isn’t over.”

He was right. Last Monday (Aug. 27), the bill was punted to the inactive file at the request of Democratic Sen. Bill Monning of Culver City, essentially neutralizing it for the year.

HEALTHLINES Doctors check for hepatitis C when they

have reason to suspect the disease. Both Lewis and Sylvestre explained that people who contract it usually are “asymptomatic”—free of symptoms—long after they get infected. Physicians mostly order tests based on the behaviors associated with hep C. “One of the difficulties is there isn’t anything that’s pathognomonic, where if you have that symptom we know you have that disease,” Lewis said. Two early symptoms are fatigue, associated with a variety of medical conditions, and jaundice (yellowing of the skin), associated with various liver conditions.

Testing for hep C is a two-step process—another pitfall for diagnosis, recently addressed by Butte County Public Health. The initial screen checks for hep C antibodies in a patient’s blood. A positive test indicates the person should get a second test, for hep C virus, which shows if the body has fought off the disease.

Hepatitis C, oft-undetected, skews younger amid opioid crisis by

Evan Tuchinsky evantuc hin sk y @ n ewsrev i ew. com

Inoticed with drug addiction, Dr. Diana Sylvestre a condition many had in common.

n the mid 1990s, amid the crush of patients

Injection drug users not only battled their substance issues, but often also the liverravaging disease hepatitis C. Uninfected, these people struggled to find medical care; with hep C, “no one would touch them,” she told the CN&R by phone. Treatment at the time was injected, carried harsh side effects and could take a year—if it worked.

“It was hard, regardless of who they were; then you add on the layers of addiction, mental illness and homelessness, and it was an [apparently] impossible task. But, if somebody was going to die of hepatitis C,” Sylvestre added, treating them struck her as “the ethical thing to do.”

So, 20 years ago, in response to the hep C wave she saw in the Bay Area, she 12

CN&R

established a nonprofit that operates the Oasis Clinic in Oakland. Sylvestre also travels weekly to Ukiah to see patients in that rural community and conducts research as an assistant clinical professor at UC San Francisco.

Treatment options have expanded over the years. So, too, has the demographic spread of hep C. The age of people getting infected skews younger, both statewide and nationally—a trend health experts connect to the opioid epidemic.

“There’s a lot of evidence that that would be the case,” said Dr. Linda Lewis, health scientist at the Butte County Public Health Department. “We know that injection drug use is increasing; we also know that injection drug use is the primary cause for hep C.” Other causes include “high risk” activities associated with youth: unprotected sex, unsanitary tattoos or piercings, shared razors. Transfusions before 1982, when hep C screening became mandatory for donated blood, also represent a risk. By far, injecting narcotics from a needle used by someone else poses the greatest danger.

“I’m sure there are some people who do that and get lucky,” Lewis said by

phone. “That’s a very high-risk behavior.”

In the most recent statistics available from the California Department of Public Health, through 2015, the state experienced a 55 percent increase of hep C cases among men in their 20s and a 37 percent increase among women that age over eight years—comparable to national numbers.

Butte County has experienced an overall rise, from 318 cases reported in 2013 to 359 last year (13 percent). Lewis said the incidence among younger groups hasn’t matched the broader trend, “but I will not be surprised if I see it; it could be in this year’s data.”

Lewis, who studies the spread of diseases for Public Health, noted that hep C “is usually diagnosed as a chronic disease, and so there can be many years between when the person was infected and when they’re diagnosed.” Acute diseases, by contrast, yield symptoms and sickness quicker.

Sylvestre pointed to another possible reason local statistics differ from the state. Particularly in rural areas, she said, testing takes place “where young injection drug users—or even young drug users, period—are unlikely to surface.” Butte County statistics “may even be correct, but I bet you’re missing the majority of kids with hepatitis C,” she said, because they don’t tend to seek medical care except for emergencies, in emergency rooms. Hep C primarily gets diagnosed by primary care physicians.

HEALTHLINES The gap comes with those who never receive the confirmatory test. In the time between screenings, Lewis said, the patient may move, not hear from the doctor’s office or miss the next test. Whatever the reason, “they aren’t aware of their true status. They may not even know for sure they tested positive … [or] think they’re infected when they’re not.”

Public Health has focused on follow-ups. Officials worked with local hospitals and labs to establish a “reflex test” protocol in which a positive antibody result automatically triggers a virus test, instead of requiring a physician’s order. The department also “piggy-backed” hep C testing on a grant-funded program for rapid testing of syphilis.

Treatment has progressed from injected interferon with ribavirin—medications with adverse effects and cure rates less than 50 percent—to pill regimens with fewer, milder complications and cure rates over 90 percent.

Access is limited: Dr. Andrew Miller, Butte County’s public health officer, told the CN&R by email that these drugs are prescribed locally by gastroenterologists and infectious disease specialists (more so than primary care practitioners); clinics that offer treatment are hard to get into.

Harvoni is the mostly widely known drug, due to advertising; Sylvestre also highlighted Mavyret, an eight-week course, and Epclusa, a 12-week course— each covered by Medi-Cal and Medicare for hep C patients suffering acutely with long life expectancy. “Private insurers are another matter,” she said, routinely balking at the cost. Once $100,000, hep C medicine now runs $25,000 out-of-pocket.

“The treatments, the medications, are remarkably wonderful,” Sylvestre concluded. “The main challenge these days has drifted away from concerns about side effects and efficacy to access.” Ω

WEEKLY DOSE Ditch the Hot Dog Diet Now that the most intense heat of the summer is behind us, we can get busy with backyard parties and barbecues again. If you’re trying to eat healthy, however, an invitation to a cookout can turn into a gastrointestinal gauntlet. Nutrition experts from Orchard Hospital in Gridley have some helpful suggestions on how to stick to your regular diet, make good choices and live to eat another day:

• BYO: When asked to bring a side dish to a potluck, prepare a veggie-laden dish like lentil salad, grilled ratatouille or chickpea tomato salad to share with your friends.

• Moderation: Use self-control and don’t double-dip on dessert.

• Protein: Grilled fish and chicken are healthier choices than hot dogs and burgers.

• Skip “salad”: Do mayonnaise and carbs really count as salad? Mix up some leafy greens and skip the potato and macaroni salads.

• Booze: It’s OK to enjoy a margarita on a hot summer day, but that single drink could top 600 calories. Limit your intake, cut your calories and make it home safely.

Putting the cycle in recycling

Nelson said that while she is passionate about her job because of her love for the environment and her concerns surrounding climate change, the people are what make it so special.

“This is the highlight of my week,” she said.

“Everyone invites me in and catches up. … It’s checking in, it’s getting to know these people who’d otherwise be complete strangers, building community.

“Hopefully this will inspire people to take small steps in their own life to make the environment better.” Ω

Athewith hand-painted orange-leaves through Barber neighborhood last week, she was s Rose Nelson pedaled her green bicycle

stopped by a young couple walking their dog.

Nelson is certainly a curious sight. Twice a week, she hauls six blue tubs in a trailer by bike. A large decoupage sign faces the people she passes: “Drop in the Bucket bicycle powered compost service.”

She explained to the couple that her bins are filled with kitchen scraps from her clients: veggies, fruits eggshells, coffee grounds and paper. She travels through Chico neighborhoods, using Bidwell Park as a main thoroughfare, gathering food waste from tubs off people’s porches. Then, she takes the compostable material to her residence, where she manually turns compost piles.

Nelson just launched her business in May, with the help of the Butte County Business Incubator Program, and so far has a budding 20-client base. She’s working on setting up partnerships to donate material (scraps or soil) to local school and community gardens.

On a clipboard, she keeps close track of the pounds she hauls each week: 100 to 300 between all of her clients. Composting— adding organic material to the soil to help plants grow—keeps materials out of landfills, where they take up space and release methane, a greenhouse gas. That’s hundreds of pounds of nutrients going back into the soil and into the bodies of her community members, Nelson said.

In fact, each person in the U.S. generates about 4.4 pounds of waste per day, and only about 34 percent (1.5 pounds) ends

“People get bogged down because there’s so much happening in the environment and the world and they feel powerless to help it,” Nelson said. “Every small thing you can do can make a difference.”

Nelson’s background makes this venture

a perfect fit. She grew up in Durham on a small farm with horses and chickens, and raised pigs and sheep for 4-H. Being of modest means, her family chose to spend their vacations outdoors: driving an hour or so up into the foothills and camping under the stars. Nelson, 31, developed a love and respect for nature, which grew into a life-long study. Over the past decade, she’s earned her environmental studies degree from UC Santa Cruz, served as an interpretive ranger for multiple state parks in the redwoods and worked as an outdoor educator for at-risk youth at Mono Lake.

Shortly before returning to the North State in December, she embarked on a bicycle tour of the south island of New Zealand.

“I just kind of realized I didn’t want to stop biking,” she said. “Let’s keep it going!”

clients and three part-time employees. She taught Nelson all the dos and don’ts, then Nelson brought the biz to Chico.

Bicycle composting services have become

popular throughout the country. Nelson’s friend modeled her business after Compost Pedallers in Austin, Texas, which has gathered almost 500 customers and composted more than 250,000 pounds since December 2012.

The process is really simple for a lot of these businesses. With Nelson’s service, which costs $5 per week, every client receives a 5-gallon bucket with a lid. She empties it, cleans it and lines it with a new compostable paper bag every week—picking up the scraps on her bike between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. on collection day.

Monica Smith, a client who lives near Bidwell Park, told the CN&R that she was always interested in composting but didn’t have her own space for it or a use for the soil it would generate.

The process is simple, affordable and makes her feel good because she is part of a bigger-picture effort to make more environmentally conscious choices that help the community. She’s also enjoyed the opportunity to teach her children about composting, “that we all are a part of the cycle of the earth and we can do our part in the littlest way.”

“You really get to see how much scraps and waste you have and how many vegetables maybe rotted in your fridge,” she added. “You’re taking notice of your own personal waste.”

ECO EVENT TINY FARMING FRIENDS

Mostly unseen to the home gardener, numerous and diverse microorganisms inhabit the soil—playing important roles in plant performance and mineral nutrition. As part of Chico State’s Regenerative Agriculture Initiative Seminar Series, you can learn how to optimize these microbes to restore soil fertility, improve growth and increase the water efficiency of your plants. This afternoon (Thursday, Sept. 6), New Mexico State University molecular biologist David Johnson will discuss his research in microbial community structure and how farmers can regenerate beneficial diversity in their soil. The seminar is free and takes place at 4 p.m. in Colusa Hall, Room 100B.

Peak poke?

Mary Norman is ready to help pep people up with a fast and friendly cup of Joe. She opened what she’s calling The Truck last month and is already on the move. Mary and her husband, Brandon, who works for a digital marketing company, both grew up in the area and attended Chico State. The couple moved to the Bay Area for a few years, but when their first child was born, they felt compelled to move back to Chico, “where we belonged,” she said. Now, as a stay-athome mother of two (ages 3 and 6), and with her own mother nearby for support, Norman is ready to get to work. The Truck is scheduled to serve racers and race fans at the Gold Cup Race of Champions at Silver Dollar Speedway Sept. 5-8, and she’ll also be at the Chico Outdoor Art Festival at the Palms on Sept. 16.

How did you get the idea to start a coffee truck?

I just didn’t have enough to do [as a stay-at-home mom] and so I said to my mom, “What would be something that Chico could really use?” And she said, “You know, a coffee truck would be genius!” I got on Craigslist and there was one that was ready to go, brand new, turnkey.

Things are always changing around here, whether it’s businesses closing or new ventures beginning. Right now, we’re flush with good news of the latter variety.

First things first: LemonShark Poké is finally open in the old Has Beans spot at Fifth and Main streets, and just in time for all the hungry college students. Initial reviews—on opening day last Friday (Aug. 31)—sound promising. There’s yet another poke place slated to move in on Third Street downtown. When will Chico reach peak poke?

Also new to downtown: Tender Loving Coffee. It’s been operating for a while as a coffee roaster and for occasional live concerts, but now the owners have added a wood-fired pizza oven and you can stop by 7 a.m.-8 p.m., Monday-Saturdays, for coffee all day and a full menu of pizza, salad and sandwiches from 11:30 a.m. till close. It’s at 365 E. Sixth St. There are also a number of businesses getting ready to open. The one perhaps the furthest along is Insomnia Cookies, a national chain that specializes in delivering fresh-baked cookies in the middle of the night. Sounds like Midnite Munchies has some competition (but a better name). I spied the sign up on Main Street last week, in the space just to the south of Urban Fresh Fuel.

Degrees Coffee had installed all the machinery …. I literally signed the paperwork on Monday and did my first job on Saturday.

What are your goals for the business?

I want to be able to serve people and have them have a good experience, but still have it in a timely fashion because people who are at work or who have a short lunch break or a short coffee break, they don’t want to waste their entire time waiting for the drink they’re not really gonna get to enjoy. So, we’ve kind of streamlined everything. There are two sizes of the hot and two sizes of the cold and for those sizes, it’s just the two prices, no matter what you want to put in it—unless it’s an extra shot, then of course I have to charge for that.

What varieties do you serve?

We’re always gonna be changing it up and that way people get a chance to try all the different options, whether it be Costa Rican or whatever. It’s really nice that we’re able to work with Six Degrees Coffee, because they have just menu after menu of stuff to try.

Do you offer additional flavors for the coffee?

All the good stuff: white chocolate, regular chocolate, caramel.

We do flavored Italian sodas also, so I’ve got probably 12 flavors of Italian soda including cherry, coconut, raspberry, lemon-lime. One of the favorites right now is honey-hazelnut, so it tastes like the old Bit-O-Honey candies as an Italian soda and also as a latte.

—CATHY WAGNER

ITALIAN FEAST I sat down last week with Joe Azzarito of the local chapter of the Sons and Daughters of Italy lodge. He’s excited for a program he helped launch earlier this year, in conjunction with local restaurants, to highlight a different region of Italy each month. In September it will be Calabria. Check out a special prix fixe five-course menu developed by chef James Taylor at Sicilian Cafe Sept. 13-15 featuring baked lamb shoulder, braised chicken and stuffed pork rolls.

CUT AND COLOR Butte College last week opened its cosmetology center in the old

Marinello School of Beauty space in the Almond Orchard center. The school had previously contracted with the Chico Beauty College for cosmetology instruction. The change is great for Butte College, of course, though Chico Beauty College, which opened 60 years ago, closed due to the loss in business.

ANNIVERSARY TIME A couple of local businesses are celebrating milestones this year. The first is S&S Produce and Natural Foods, which is hosting a shindig this weekend (Sept. 8, noon-5 p.m.) to honor 50 years in Chico. It started as a produce stand on the side of the road, and now it’s a household name. Congrats, S&S! Also hitting a milestone is Woodstock’s Pizza, which turns 35 this year. And it’s been a year of change for the popular downtown eatery, which has been making a strong effort toward becoming more green. It recently received an “oceanfriendly” certification from the Surfrider Foundation. Part of what that means is you will no longer find single-use to-go cups—instead, they offer reusable ones.

That’s not the only new thing happening at Woodstock’s—earlier this month, the eatery launched beer delivery, so you can order a handful of different beers in six-packs with your pie. Right on!

Ambush on Tenacious researcher’s dig into Depression-era killings uncovers an unsung local hero

BY KEN SMITH

M

inutes after midnight on Oct. 6, 1934, garage mechanic Kenneth Ray Davis pulled to the side of Mangrove Avenue and positioned his tow truck to haul away a vehicle that had crashed into a fence surrounding an almond orchard across the road from the Chico Cemetery. He’d been summoned by California Highway Patrolman William R. McDaniel to clear the wreck left by Nick Turchinetz—a local jeweler and ex-convict known to authorities for his predilection for hard drink and penchant for violence.

As Davis set about hooking the vehicle to his truck, his work illuminated by a hand-held flashlight and the emergency beacon mounted on Officer McDaniel’s patrol motorcycle, the sound of gunfire erupted from within the dark orchard. The first bullet— fired by Turchinetz, who’d left the accident scene to fetch a rifle from his nearby home and returned to ambush the pair—struck Davis, with a subsequent shot hitting McDaniel.

SEPTEMBER 6, 2018

The officer returned fire with his service revolver, but within seconds both he and the mechanic lay dead on the side of the road. Turchinetz, also wounded in the exchange, would be dead shortly after sunrise, gunned down by a sheriff’s posse.

Memorials to McDaniel are scattered across the internet on websites dedicated to law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty, but other details of the tragedy seem to have been largely forgotten.

They likely would have remained so if not for the diligent research of former police officer and towing industry veteran Randall Resch, who stumbled upon the story back in March and, troubled by the lack of recognition for Davis, set out to make sure the man’s sacrifice is remembered.

Along the way, he discovered Davis is in fact the first-recorded tow truck driver killed in the line of duty. He also found the mechanic’s granddaughter, a Chico State professor who described the lasting effects of a long-forgotten tragedy.

Both she and Resch will be present at the International Towing & Recovery Hall of Fame & Museum in Chattanooga, Tenn., on Sept. 15, when Davis’ name will be added to a memorial honoring lost tow operators called the Wall of the Fallen.

Resch’s quest to ensure Davis is honored

for his service—84 years after the mechanic’s death—represents the crux of the white-haired and magnificently mustachioed man’s unique passion. A one-time police officer with more than 50 years of experience in the towing industry, Resch is intimately aware of the dangers towing professionals face on the highways. He said he’s been affected personally, having lost friends to towing-related accidents, including Fred Griffith, who was killed by

a drunken driver last year in San Diego.

“It’s a big deal to me [when tow truck drivers are killed],” Resch said via phone from his home outside of San Diego. “As a former police officer, I appreciate the boys in blue and what they do out there, but these tow truck drivers that go out in all hours of the night, in all weather conditions, and risk their lives to help complete strangers or law enforcement … they deserve to be recognized, too.”

Resch has put considerable work into finding tow truck drivers who were killed on the job, and said he’s compiled a list of nearly 900 names he’s working through to get proper documentation to have them placed on the towing museum’s Wall of the Fallen. The wall currently has more than 400 names, several of which were added due to Resch’s research. Before finding Davis, he’d found the previous earliest honoree, Aubrey Bryan Collier, who died in Nashville in 1946.

His fascination with the industry began early. When Resch was a child, his father started a tow company, capitalizing on a knowledge of rigging, chains and pulley systems gained during his tenure in the Navy, where he specialized in rescuing and recovering submarines. Resch started working in the family garage as a youngster, and began driving a tow truck when he got his driver’s license at age 16. He then joined the San Diego Police Department at age 21, and was a policeman for 12 years before an onduty motorcycle accident ended his law enforcement career.

“People tell you, ‘Go where you know.’ I know towing, so I went back to the towing industry,” Resch said.

He owned and operated a tow company in Auburn for several years, went on to manage several large San Diego-based

Mangrove towing businesses, and still teaches towing safety classes for the CHP. In addition, he’s developed a voice as a writer, editor and researcher. His first such gig was as editor of Police Magazine for three years, beginning shortly after he left the police department, during which time he also oversaw publication of three volumes of a book series called Death Row. Over the past 22 years, he’s contributed more than 550 articles to American Towman magazine.

“I’m always doing research looking for new topic ideas everywhere and anywhere,” he said. “And you know how the internet goes; you go in one side and it takes you somewhere else entirely.”

In the case of this story, Resch saw an online tribute to McDaniel, the CHP officer, and an accompanying historical article that referred to Davis as a “garage mechanic.”

“Men and women of our industry who serve the motoring public are out there taking chances on the side of the road all the time, but it’s something that has to be done.”

Most folks wouldn’t think twice about that description, but Resch remembered from his childhood that the term was used synonymously with “tow truck driver” in the industry’s early days. He noted such utility vehicles were invented in 1916 in Chattanooga, and remained relatively rare until the middle of the last century: “They were mostly owned by gas stations or body shops, and tow truck work came secondary,” he said.

To have Davis added to the wall, Resch dug deep to discover details of the tragedy and wrote to the CHP state headquarters in Sacramento for official verification. He received a letter back from Scott Silsbee— the agency’s deputy commissioner—that confirmed the incident and expressed regret and appreciation for Davis’ sacrifice.

In his research, Resch found dozens of news-

paper articles about the 1934 incident. It was covered extensively by the Chico Record and even became national news, with accounts appearing in dozens of other papers including The New York Times. The collected narrative found in those reports reads something like a hard-boiled, true-to-life pulp novel.

The gunman, Turchinetz, is sometimes referred to as “Big Nick.” The accounts paint a portrait of a desperate man in his early- to mid-40s who’d had two drunken-

driving run-ins with local law enforcement earlier that year. One of those encounters had turned violent, and the Austrian-born jeweler and watchmaker had served time in federal prison for forgery in the 1920s.

The downtown Chico jewelry shop where he’d worked for several years had gone bankrupt weeks before the fateful incident, and Turchinetz had just returned to Chico from taking part-time work in Eureka. He was married (the Chico Record refers to his 28-year-old wife, Jane, as “a small darkhaired woman with pleasant features”) and the couple had a young daughter, Olga.

ble for the accident. She did as he asked, but after police on the scene realized she didn’t have a driver’s license, she confessed that her husband had been driving. He was gone when she returned home.

Turchinetz allegedly had a beef with several local police officers, and when McDaniel was dispatched to the crash scene, he was reportedly warned to not try to take the man

into custody single-handedly. McDaniel, a 36-year-old World War I veteran and rookie patrolman of six months, confidently responded, “I’ll get him.”

McDaniel contacted the 29-year-old Davis at his place of work, a garage attached to the Hotel Oaks, a six-story building then located at the corner of Second and Salem streets, and agreed to meet the tow truck driver at the

scene of the accident.

Spurred by gunshots coming from the crash scene, Turchinetz’s wife started hurrying back toward the site, and was reportedly shot at six times by her husband as she approached Mangrove from First Avenue; he allegedly thought she was another policeman coming for him, and lamented after firing at her, “My God, Jane, did I get you, too?”

Luckily unscathed, she helped her fugitive husband back to their home, where she bandaged some of his wounds as he attempted to dig McDaniel’s slug out of his hip with a pocketknife. He scribbled out a makeshift will leaving his life insurance policy and belongings to Jane and Olga, kissed them goodbye and grabbed his Remington .30-30 rifle. Jane later told investigators she knew she’d never see him again as she watched him disappear into an orchard.

Later that morning, residents of Chico’s Pleasant Valley neighborhood (the area around modern-day Pleasant Valley High School) reported seeing an apparently drunken, bloodied man carrying a rifle and stumbling toward the foothills. The posse, armed with tear gas bombs and guns, cornered Turchinetz on a ranch about 3 miles east of the accident scene.

A gunfight ensued, with the jeweler reportedly discharging his last round just before being taken down by a bullet fired by a Gridley police officer named A.D. Miner.

As Resch uncovered this historical saga, he

also enlisted the help of his sister-in-law, a genealogy buff who used online resources like Ancestry.com and Findagrave.com to help identify several of Davis’ potential descendants, to whom he sent letters in hopes of making contact. He eagerly awaited a response for several months, and had all but given up when he received a call from Cindy Wolff, a Chico State professor and executive director of the school’s Center for Healthy Communities. Davis was her maternal grandfather.

Wolff said she was shocked upon receiv-

ing Resch’s message, and that she and her relatives were “dumbfounded” by the information he provided about their long-forgotten family history. She also was able to shed light on the lasting ripples of the tragic incident, which she said affected her family for decades afterward.

“It was really weird,” Wolff said of receiving Resch’s snail-mail letter. “First off, it was a hand-addressed envelope, which isn’t all that common anymore, and it starts out by introducing Randy and his role with the towing association, and that he’d been working to track down a relative of Kenneth Ray Davis. I looked at that and said, ‘That’s my grandfather, I know that name.’ The letter said he was not a stalker and gave a URL to an article he’d written [about Davis] in American Towman magazine.

“I was very skeptical,” Wolff said with a laugh, noting she’d never heard of the Wall of the Fallen or dreamed that a tow truck museum even existed. “I thought it was wise of Randy to put in the letter that he’s not a stalker, because I was going, ‘You have to be kidding, this does not sound believable.”

She confirmed Resch was the real deal before calling him, and the two became “fast phone friends.” The researcher, thrilled at the opportunity to meet one of Davis’ descendants, arranged to visit Chico to meet Wolff and other relatives in June.

Wolff said the information Resch shared was especially revealing because the historic episode was rarely—and wrongly—spoken of among her family: “The family story was a little different from the one that the newspapers and other sources would support,” she said, noting she’d heard her grandfather’s name mentioned only a handful of times. “I was told as a kid that he was killed by the man who robbed the Bank of America, and that he had gone to retrieve the car that was used for the getaway with a deputy sheriff, and that he was shot and killed.

“My grandmother, Eula, refused to talk about this man,” Wolff said, noting her own

“I appreciate the boys in blue and what they do out there, but these tow truck drivers that go out in all hours of the night, in all weather conditions, and risk their lives to help complete strangers or law enforcement … they deserve to be recognized, too.”

—randall resch

mother, Marlene, was just 2 years old at the time of the tragedy. “It just wasn’t a topic of discussion, and I got the impression the Davises were a quiet family, maybe because they were from the South and didn’t have much money. [Eula] came across the country from the Dust Bowl, from Tennessee to Oklahoma to Chico, and then her husband died tragically. I think there was a lot of stigma associated with that. I don’t think being a widow during the Depression was a pleasant experience, and I think she considered that the dark years and did not talk about them.

“They became instantly poor [after Davis was killed], and my mother lived a very impoverished life,” she continued. “So this had a tremendous impact on the family for generations. My mother died 30 years ago, at a young age, and that’s part of the impact … she lived a fairly tragic life.

“Both my grandmother and mother carried this mantle of sadness with them.”

Wolff expressed similar sympathy for all

Cindy Wolff—pictured here in front of the cafe Blackbird, which was her late grandfather’s home—says Randall Resch’s research has given her deeper insight into a tragedy that affected her family for generations.

three widows, including Turchinetz’s wife, Jane, whom news reports say left Chico for her native Canada after her husband was killed. One of the articles in the Chico Record from October 1934 describes a tender moment between McDaniel’s wife (who had three sons) and his murderer’s spouse, in which the two bereaved women embraced and wept.

Tragedy aside, Wolff said she’s learned lots of details about her family from Resch’s work, including some neat tidbits, such as the fact that the home Davis grew up in and was living in when he died is the building that currently houses Blackbird, a café and bookstore on Park Avenue. That’s also where she and Resch met up before visiting the Chico Cemetery to find the graves of Davis, McDaniel and Turchinetz.

All three are buried there, within hundreds of feet of the site of the shooting.

McDaniel’s burial marker—the proverbial hero’s grave—is the largest of the three. It still attracts regular visitors according to Clark Masters, a cemetery employee who conducts historical tours of the graveyard.

Davis lies beneath a relatively humble stone in the family plot, and Turchinetz’s resting place is unmarked.

Resch and Wolff, along with their respec-

tive spouses, will reunite in Tennessee for Davis’ induction to the Wall of the Fallen on Sept. 15. The ceremony is part of four days of events the towing museum in Chattanooga hosts annually, including adding members to a Hall of Fame honoring exceptional work done in the towing industry. Resch was bestowed that honor in 2014.

Jeffrey Godwin, first vice president of the museum and co-chair of the Wall of the Fallen and its accompanying Survivor Fund—which helps families of tow truck operators killed in the line of duty financially—explained Chattanooga is a fitting home for the museum, as the city is the birthplace of the tow truck.

The museum features exhibits ranging from vintage tow trucks to something called the “Tater Tot”—a golf cart converted into a miniature rotator wrecker (a type of heavy-duty, semi-truck-size tow truck outfitted with a large crane-like boom) with external controls that allow children to operate it. Godwin said that, in addition to “preserving and protecting towing history,” one of the facility’s main functions is to

educate the public about the risks tow truck drivers face daily in the service of others.

He praised Resch’s recent project and past efforts for “adding to the conversation and creating more awareness” about that issue.

“It’s a very dangerous line of work,” Godwin said. “Men and women of our industry who serve the motoring public are out there taking chances on the side of the road all the time, but it’s something that has to be done. Unfortunately, we lose an operator about every six days on average, about 60 a year. The risks involved are very similar to those faced by other first responders.”

As for Resch, he said he was determined to see this research project through, and that he’s happy Davis will finally receive some long-overdue recognition.

“Once I get on something,” Resch said, “I don’t let go.” Ω September 6, 2018

folk music, blending their voices with a warm, emotionally charged timbre, criss-crossing melodies with a fluidity akin to improvisation, and what feels like deep musical intuition that resonates with Chico.

MaMuse has also performed extensively beyond Chico, touring throughout the U.S. and even performing on A Prairie Home Companion in 2012 after winning first place in the radio show’s duet contest.

“MaMuse has always steered us in ways that don’t always make sense or aren’t conventional or practical, but when we listen, we’re usually guided to unexpected gifts,” Nutting said.

Over the years, the duo have invited a range of guest players to expand its sound, including Chico’s Mike Wofchuck, who’s provided a steady heartbeat as a regular percussionist, and singer/songwriter Molly Hartwell, who added third harmony parts to several songs on MaMuse’s 2015 album, Heart Nouveau.

For the recording of their new album, Prayers of Freedom, Nutting and Longaker made their most ambitious adjustment to date, bringing in a wide array of guests, from the East Bay activist Thrive Choir to activist/ musician Lyla June. They raised nearly $40,000 through an Indiegogo campaign for the album (their fifth), on which they stretched their airy harmonies into sturdy “anthems for freedom

and justice,” as they put it.

With a name like Prayers for Freedom, “it’s kind of a tall order,” Nutting said. “It shows our evolution as beings and musicians; taking it from the simpleness of our little duet, then bringing in the bigger global perspective and diversity of other friends, choir members, people from other cultures, that is the essence of this new album. It’s a good marker of where we’re currently at.”

In celebration of the release, Longaker and Nutting have been joined

by Wofchuck and guitarist Walter Strauss and have been touring the West Coast and performing with local choirs and communities in an effort to recreate the album.

“It’s not exactly who was on the album, but it captures the essence of collaboration,” Nutting said.

With so much change and growth in less than a decade, it’ll be interesting to see where the pair end up, but for now, Nutting says, “MaMuse for me is home.

“It’s a relationship I fully trust, the most committed I’ve felt to any personal, or beyond personal relationship in my life,” she added. “I can’t know what’s gonna happen, but somehow I trust it, I’m held in this relationship, not to Karisha, [but] to my muse, my music. Each of us is in our own relationship with the muse, and coming together and sharing is what makes it even more potent.” Ω

THE LAST O.G. Best known for his seven-year stint on Saturday Night Live and for playing a fictionalized version of himself on 30 Rock, comedian Tracy Morgan hits Gold Country Casino & Hotel in Oroville on Friday, Sept. 7. His antics on those shows may have sometimes been outlandish, but his stand-up goes further, treading a teetering path along the line of good taste. Four years ago, Morgan sustained a traumatic brain injury in an accident caused by a sleepy Walmart truck driver. His 2017 Netflix special addresses the physical and spiritual recovery he’s undergone since the accident, while lacing his jokes with plenty of words we avoid printing. As always, standup is a live medium and Morgan kills on stage and is well worth the ticket.

His rober tspeer@ exhibit—his newsrev i ew.c om last completely American show, at least for a Review: Trong Gia Nguyen’s while, he says— Dogg Days shows showcases both through Oct. 13. previous and new works, the latJacki Headley University Art ter having been Gallery created during a Arts & Humanities recent six-week Building residency in Chico State 898-5864 Chico. universityartgallery.

The exhibit wordpress.com opened Aug. 30 with a reception at the gallery and an artist’s lecture and slide show in the Zingg Recital Hall. The following day, Nguyen returned to Vietnam.

For the exhibit, the gallery has been divided into two separate rooms holding two distinct presentations, one titled Dogg Days, the other titled Neo Theo. The works in the former are mostly new, while those in Neo Theo were created previously.

The two exhibits share a desire to make, or illustrate, a subtle kind of socio-political statement. The main difference between them is organizational: Whereas Dogg Days is a collection of independent works

that share certain themes but otherwise are unique, Neo Theo’s many parts comprise a single whole. In the center of the back wall is a version of the original Betsy Ross American flag. Subtly creased into the flag’s fabric is an appeal: “Help me,” it says, as if to suggest that the values the flag stands for are under assault.

On the other walls are about two dozen small, framed photos of hands saluting the flag using the original Bellamy salute created to accompany the Pledge of Allegiance. That salute was abandoned during World War II because it looked too much like the fascist salute used by the Nazis.

Finally, there’s an audio element: a looped recording of children reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, but with the words “under God”— which were added to the pledge in 1954, during the depths of the Cold War—excised.

Together these elements—flag, hands, truncated pledge—ask the viewer to ponder how American iconography and the values it represents have changed over the years.

The title Dogg Days—a reference to the hot, enervating days of late summer—serves triple duty as the title of the overall exhibit, the title of one of the two parts of the exhibit, and the title of a specific piece in this show. Is Nguyen being purposely confusing? Hard to tell.

What is certain is that he demands that viewers participate in creating it—it’s a call to action, he says.

Outside resources—gallery curator Kelly Lindner’s excellent posted statement, an interview of the artist included in the exhibit’s elegant brochure (designed by Stanley Boos)—serve as guides helping viewers to go deeper into the pieces. Ultimately, though, it’s up to us to spend enough time with them to squeeze out their fascinating content.

For example, what to make of “Win Win (Beauty Queen),” a bright pink ping-pong table whose near half protrudes from a mirrored wall, so that viewers are able to play against their own reflections?

Nguyen clearly isn’t afraid to be enigmatic. Take “The Rain in Spain,” which we’re told is based on the Francisco Goya antiwar masterpiece “The Third of May 1808.”

The Goya is a rightly famous painting of a wartime execution by firing squad, but it’s hard to see that in Nguyen’s piece, which looks like a dart board stretched into unrecognizable shapes.

When I compared a photo of the painting to “The Rain in Spain,” however, I could see the shapes of Goya’s bodies and rifles in Nguyen’s wall piece. If nothing else, it compelled me to return to the Goya, one of the greatest paintings of the 19th century.

Dogg Days is a challenging exhibit, one that asks viewers to devote some time in contemplating its features. It reveals itself slowly, but the payoff is considerable. Ω

A tender, honest look at that most confusing rite of passage—junior high Eighth Grade Bbeing days, the facts of life and the existential perils of 14 or so years old. o Burnham’s

is a little gem about school

Kayla (the indefatigable Elsie Fisher) is an eighth-grader, a bright, wistful, underappreciated loner, edging by Juan-Carlos hesitantly toward the “transiSelznick tion” to her high school years.

Struggling for self-respect as well as the respect, or at least the attention, of her peers, she is both a self-motivated work in progress and a distinctively individual example of the emotional awkEighth Grade wardness and the reflexive selfStarring Elsie Fisher, Josh Hamilton, Emily consciousness of the archetypal Robinson and Jake 14-year-old.

Ryan. Directed by Bo Burnham’s script centers on the Burnham. Pageant final weeks of Kayla’s year in the Theatre. Rated PG-13. eighth grade, with stages of her quest emerging through a series vignettes—school-related events, extracurricular activities, her mildly fraught home life, the clumsy experimenting of early teen socializing, etc. And the action as a whole is punctuated (and bookended) with examples from Kayla’s advice-filled blog.

Much of Eighth Grade has a near-documentary feel to it, and it’s to the credit of Burnham and his mostly young cast that they’re able to manage such a graceful balance between brash honesty and tender ironies. The film’s approach to its characters, including a couple of the adults, is kindly without being rankly sentimental, and ironic without being sarcastic or cruel.

32 CN&R CN&R S E PSTeEpMtBe EmRb e6 r, 260, 1280 1 8 32

The heart of the film, and its greatest appeals, reside in scenes built around partially mismatched pairings: Kayla and the sullen, self-absorbed Aiden (Luke Prael); Kayla and Gabe (Jake Ryan), on a “dinner date” in his family’s dining room; Kayla and Kennedy (Cathleen Olivere), the dim, snooty class beauty; Kayla and her high school “shadow,” Olivia (Emily Robinson); Kayla and the high school kid (Daniel Zolghadri) who tries to take advantage of her; Kayla and her mildly flummoxed single dad, Mark (Josh Hamilton).

The seemingly off-handed father-daughter relationship gradually becomes especially important, and the adult characters as well as the high school kids seem prone to insecurities and fragile hopes hauntingly similar to those that beleaguer Kayla and her classmates. One of the sidelong ironies in Burnham’s scenario has to do with Kayla getting invited to Kennedy’s birthday party mainly out of the hopes the latter’s mother (Missy Yager) has for catching the eye of Kayla’s dad.

The one element of the film that’s a little hamhanded has to do with several instances of musical bludgeonry. Burnham makes much of the role played by social media, both as emotional diversion and protective insulation. But the cranked-up volume on the kids’ ear bud music obliterates a point about hysteria and panic that’s made more incisively elsewhere in the film. Ω

BlacKkKlansman

The new “Spike Lee joint” is a periodpiece action movie of sorts, but of course it’s also much more than that: a stark appraisal of race and American social history; an undercover police story set in the 1970s with historical references ranging from the recrudescence of the KKK circa World War I to the white supremacists of Charlottesville, Va., in our own time; a nifty roundelay about self and American identity; a half-comic epic that entertains without ever losing sight of its most serious and urgent concerns. The central story premise has to do with the actual case of a black police officer named Ron Stallworth who successfully infiltrated a KKK chapter in Colorado in the late-1970s.

Stallworth (versatile John David Washington) talked his way into the group via telephone calls, then shadowed a fellow undercover cop named Flip Zimmerman (Adam Driver) who pretended to be the “white Aryan” that Stallworth concocted. The racial tensions are at times ferocious and there is an extraordinarily intimate and riveting quality of suspense in the moments in which the guile and daring of Stallworth and Zimmerman put them in danger of all-out misadventure.

Cinemark 14. Rated R —J.C.S.

Christopher Robin

Crazy Rich Asians

Crazy Rich Asians is being celebrated as a landmark of Asian-American filmmaking, and deservedly so. And best of all, it’s a smart and lively romantic-comedy, a multicharacter entertainment that keeps its sense of serious fun fully in play from beginning to end.

The central romance in all this is between

C H I CO P E R F O R M A N C E S Nick Young (Henry Golding) and Rachel Chu (Constance Wu). He is a brilliant young businessman and the expatriate scion of a massively wealthy family in Singapore, and she is an economics professor at NYU and the daughter of an immigrant single mom. Nick invites her to travel with him to Singapore, where he will be the best man at a wedding on old family turf. The Singapore trip advances the love story between those two, but it also takes them into the tangled relationships and deeply entrenched history of Nick’s family and friends. A diverse array of siblings, cousins, lovers and pals complicates things, comedy-wise and otherwise. And particularly dramatic challenges come from Nick’s aunts, his grandmother (Lisa Lu) and, most crucially, his stately mother Eleanor (a superb Michelle Yeoh). Cinemark 14, Feather River Cinemas, Paradise Cinema 7. Rated PG-13 —J.C.S.

After watching this listless, joyless, humorless exercise in how not to make a puppet movie, it’s safe to say that the public will not be hankering for more adult-puppet shenanigans anytime soon. The film is set up like your standard puppets-interactingwith-humans Muppet movie, but Kermit and company are banned from the set in favor of bland, seriously unfunny puppets that fail to distinguish themselves in any way. Brian Henson directs, and it’s a lost puppet cause.

Melissa McCarthy takes the lead human role as Det. Connie Edwards, former partner of puppet-cop-turned-private-investigator Phil Philips (puppeteer Bill Barretta). The two find themselves teaming up again when puppet cast members of ’80s TV show The Happytime Gang start getting the cotton knocked out of them in a series of visually uncreative murders. While there are hints of some funny premises, none of them are taken to fruitfully funny extremes. That’s because screenwriter Todd Berger thinks simply being naughty is enough for a laugh.

There’s no room for wit or depth in his land of puppetry, just F-bombs and silly-string ejaculate. Cinemark 14, Feather River Cinemas. Rated R —B.G.

@SierraNevadachico

tions, as well as an automated irrigation system, story and my blossoms photo by have dropped Jason Cassidy en masse. j aso nc @ Unfortunately new srev i ew. c o m timed heatwaves this summer have robbed me—and many fellow local gardeners to whom I’ve whined—of most tomato and melon fruits. Not all has been lost, though. The lemon cucumber and spaghetti squash yields have been respectable.

And the jalapeños—those chilis I most often cook with and always do well in my yard—continue to be on fire. The time was ripe to finally make some “cowboy candy.”

My conventional use for a bumper crop of jalapeños is to combine it with the “too many” tomatoes that I normally enjoy for some homemade pico de gallo for all my tortilla chip and tri-tip-smothering needs. But the absence of tomatoes presented an opportunity for trying out this tasty-looking pickling/candying method of preserving hot peppers that I’ve come across on various recipe websites over the years.

Turns out cowboy candy is super quick and simple to make—especially if you just do the quick refrigerator pickle—and the results are amazing. I’ve tried

them on a turkey burger and a grilled-chicken sandwich (both transformative) and spooned them straight out of the jar and into my mouth for an intense sweet/sour/ hot snack. It’d also be a perfect contrast to a bagel with cream cheese, and would make a great addition chopped up and stirred into a potato salad or coleslaw.

After making one batch, I think I have a new staple in my fridge.

The recipe I settled on borrows bits from the glut I found online, all of which are basically the same. Other additions that I found but left out of my batch include cayenne pepper (seems overkill), celery seeds (meh) and lime zest and/or juice (next time). I included some whole red jalapeños for extra color, but you could also add a few whole cayenne or, if you’re really brave, habanero peppers to further enhance the look and flavor.

Cowboy candy Ingredients: 3 pounds jalapeños, sliced Handful of additional whole chili peppers (red jalapeño, cayenne, habanero, etc.)

6 cups sugar 2 cups vinegar (apple cider or distilled white) 1/2 tsp turmeric powder 8 cloves garlic, smashed

Sterilize four or five one-pint pickling jars and lids, plus a slotted spoon and a funnel.

Put on some rubber or plastic gloves. Rinse off your jalapeños and any other peppers you’re using, then cut off the stems and slice into quarter-inch rings. (You could de-seed first if you want less heat ... but c’mon!) If you’re including any whole peppers, simply cut off the stems and add to the pepper pile.

Start your syrup by adding vinegar, sugar, turmeric and smashed garlic to a large saucepan and bring to a boil, whisking until sugar dissolves. Reduce to a low boil, and cook for four minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove garlic. Add all your peppers to the pot and boil for another four minutes.

Turn off heat, and with slotted spoon remove peppers and distribute evenly between jars. Turn heat on syrup back up and bring to a boil. Cook for an additional five minutes or so, until syrup begins to thicken. Funnel syrup into jars, covering peppers completely and leaving about 1/2-inch airspace at top. Tighten lids and put in the fridge. Wait one week. Enjoy!

Using this refrigerator method for pickling, your cowboy candy will be good in the fridge for at least three months. Ω

tives of arts-makers/events-promoters are probably the most important producers of original art in Chico right now. Arts DEVO thinks so anyways, and he is stoked that we’ve just entered that season when all three are showing off their new stuff.

I rode my bike out to the orchards south of town last Sunday (Sept. 2) to drink in the latest edition of the annual Butcher Shop theater festival, and it was another glorious spectacle of theater, art, music, food, drinks and hundreds of fellow revelers (more than 1,000 visited over two days) that felt like a punctuation mark on the summer. The main production this year was a string of three colorfully staged original one-acts stitched together with original tunes by local songwriters—Donald Beaman, Scout, etc.—as performed by Bravo! to the Butcher Shop 2018! the Butcher Shop’s long-running house band, Dave the Butcher.

The final one-act, the trippy The Blue Origin, written by Chico-to-New York ex-pats Forrest Gillespie and Jesse Karch, made the biggest impression on me. Blue Origin is the name of the private space-travel company that Amazon owner Jeff Bezos dumped billions of his stock profits into, and the play’s dystopian setting featured a looming figure called the BZos (a bald, pasty creature played to culty perfection by Bryce Corron) ruling over the zombified masses and being pursued by a young rifle-toting assassin played by a very intense and rad Ilani Welsh-Johnson. Bravo!

Starting tonight, the Uncle Dad’s Art Collective will kick off its fourth annual Small Town Big Sound production (see more info in This Week, page 27), which this year will hit the road as well, with stops in Weaverville, Orland and Redding. But even with its packed schedule, the Dad’s crew is also looking forward to its next big production—the multimedia musical/theatrical Madonna tribute at Laxson Auditorium Jan. 24-26. Shortly after they return from tour, Uncle Dad’s will be holding open auditions for performers for that show. They are seeking vocalists, instrumentalists, choir members and performance artists of any style (dance, circus, contortion, “weird stuff,” etc.).

If you’re feeling like a lucky star, show up at the side door (on First Street) of Laxson with everything you need to express yourself in a three- to fiveminute routine. Auditions are Sept. 23, 2:30 p.m., and Sept. 24, 6:30 p.m.

The women of the Chikoko fashion/performance crew also are holding auditions. Models of “all shapes, sizes, ethnicities and genders” are invited to the Chico Women’s Club this Sunday, Sept. 9, 10 a.m., to try out for their annual fall fashion show (bring heels). This year’s them is “Evoke,” and I’d bet my Energy Dome that it’ll be another sold-out affair with a couple thousand party people crammed into the huge commercial building at the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds on Oct. 20 for the arts happening of the year.

This guy saves you money.

Why Haven’t Senior Homeowners Been Told These Facts?

Keep reading if you own a home in the U.S. and were born before 1955.

It’s a well-known fact that for many senior citizens in the U.S. their home is their single biggest asset, often accounting for more than 50% of their total net worth.

Yet, according to new statistics from the mortgage industry, senior homeowners in the U.S. are now sitting on more than 6.1 trillion dollars of unused home equity.1 With people now living longer than ever before and home prices back up again, ignoring this “hidden wealth” may prove to be short sighted.

All things considered, it’s not surprising that more than a million homeowners have already used a government-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage or “HECM” loan to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement.

However, today, there are still millions of eligible homeowners who could benefit from this FHA-insured loan but may simply not be aware of this “retirement secret.”

Some homeowners think HECM loans sound “too good to be true.” After all, you get the cash you need out of your home but you have no more monthly mortgage payments.

NO MONTHLY MORTGAGE PAYMENTS?2 EXTRA CASH? It’s a fact: no monthly mortgage payments are required with a government-insured HECM loan;2 however the homeowners are still responsible for paying for the maintenance of their home, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their

HOA fees.

Another fact many are not aware of is that HECM reverse mortgages first took hold when President Reagan signed the FHA Reverse Mortgage Bill into law 29 years ago in order to help senior citizens remain in their homes.

Today, HECM loans are simply an effective way for homeowners 62 and older to get the extra cash they need to enjoy retirement.

Although today’s HECM loans have been improved to provide even greater financial protection for homeowners, there are still many misconceptions.

For example, a lot of people mistakenly believe the home must be paid off in full in order to qualify for a HECM loan, which is not the case. In fact, one key advantage of a HECM is that the proceeds will first be used to pay off any existing liens on the property, which frees up cash flow, a huge blessing for seniors living on a fixed income. Unfortunately, many senior homeowners who might be better off with HECM loan don’t even bother to get more information because of rumors they’ve heard.

That’s a shame because HECM loans are helping many senior homeowners live a better life.

In fact, a recent survey by American Advisors Group (AAG), the nation’s number one HECM lender, found that over 90% of their clients are satisfied with their loans.

While these special loans are not for everyone, they can be a real lifesaver for senior homeowners.

The cash from a HECM loan can be used for any purpose. Many people use the money to save on interest

FACT: In 1988, President Reagan signed an FHA bill that put HECM loans into law. charges by paying off credit cards or other high-interest loans. Other common uses include making home improvements, paying off medical bills or helping other family members. Some people simply need the extra cash for everyday expenses while others are now using it as a “safety net” for financial emergencies.

If you’re a homeowner age 62 or older, you owe it to yourself to learn more so that you can make an informed decision. Homeowners who are interested in learning more can request a free 2018 HECM loan Information Kit and free Educational DVD by calling American Advisors Group toll-free at 1-(800) 840-8803.

At no cost or obligation, the professionals at AAG can help you find out if you qualify and also answer common questions such as: 1. What’s the government’s role?

2. How much money might I get?

3. Who owns the home after I take out a HECM loan?

You may be pleasantly surprised by what you discover when you call AAG for more information today.

Source: http://reversemortgagedaily.com/2016/06/21/seniors-home-equity-grows-to-6-trillion-reverse-mortgage-opportunity. 2If you qualify and your loan is approved, a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) must pay off any existing mortgage(s). With a HECM loan, no monthly mortgage payment is required. A HECM increases the principal mortgage loan amount and decreases home equity (it is a negative amortization loan).

AAG works with other lenders and nancial institutions that offer HECMs. To process your request for a loan, AAG may forward your contact information to such lenders for your consideration of HECM programs that they offer. When the loan is due and payable, some or all of the equity in the property no longer belongs to borrowers, who may need to sell the home or otherwise repay the loan with interest from other proceeds.

AAG charges an origination fee, mortgage insurance premium, closing costs and servicing fees (added to the balance of the loan). The balance of the loan grows over time and AAG charges interest on the balance.

Interest is not tax-deductible until the loan is partially or fully repaid. Borrowers are responsible for paying property taxes and homeowner’s insurance (which may be substantial). We do not establish an escrow account for disbursements of these payments. A set-aside account can be set up to pay taxes and insurance and may be required in some cases. Borrowers must occupy home as their primary residence and pay for ongoing maintenance; otherwise the loan becomes due and payable. The loan also becomes due and payable when the last borrower, or eligible non-borrowing surviving spouse, dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, defaults on taxes or insurance payments, or does not otherwise comply with the loan terms.

8/29/18 5:01 PM

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY For the week oF September 6, 2018 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Now is an

excellent time to feel and explore and understand and even appreciate your sadness. To get you in the mood, here’s a list of sadnesses from novelist Jonathan Safran Foer: sadness of the could-have-been; sadness of being misunderstood; sadness of having too many options; sadness of being smart; sadness of awkward conversations; sadness of feeling the need to create beautiful things; sadness of going unnoticed; sadness of domesticated birds; sadness of arousal being an unordinary physical state; sadness of wanting sadness.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Do you

have any feral qualities lurking deep down inside you? Have you ever felt a mad yearning to communicate using howls and yips instead of words? When you’re alone, do you sometimes dispense with your utensils and scoop the food off your plate with your fingers? Have you dreamed of running through a damp meadow under the full moon for the sheer ecstasy of it? Do you on occasion experience such strong erotic urges that you feel like you could weave your body and soul together with the color green or the sound of a rain-soaked river or the moon rising over the hills? I ask these questions, Taurus, because now is an excellent time to draw on the instinctual wisdom of your feral qualities.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Close

some doors today,” writes novelist Paulo Coelho. “Not because of pride, incapacity, or arrogance, but simply because they lead you nowhere.” I endorse his advice for your use, Gemini. In my astrological opinion, you’ll be wise to practice the rough but fine art of saying NO. It’s time for you to make crisp decisions about where you belong and where you don’t; about where your future fulfillment is likely to thrive and where it won’t; about which relationships deserve your sage intimacy and which tend to push you in the direction of mediocrity.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): To

casual observers, you may seem to be an amorphous hodgepodge, or a simmering mess of semi-interesting confusion, or an amiable dabbler headed in too many directions at once. But in my opinion, casual observers would be wrong in that assessment. What’s closer to the symbolic truth about you is an image described by poet Carolyn Forché: grapes that are ripening in the fog. Here’s another image that resonates with your current state: sea turtle eggs gestating beneath the sand on a misty ocean beach. One further metaphor for you: the bright yellow flowers of the evening primrose plant, which only bloom at night.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I want to make sure

that the groove you’re in doesn’t devolve into a rut. So I’ll ask you unexpected questions to spur your imagination in unpredictable directions. Ready? 1. How would you describe the untapped riches in the shadowy part of your personality? 2.

Is there a rare object you’d like to own because it would foster your feeling that the world has magic and miracles? 3. Imagine the perfect party you’d love to attend and how it might change your life for the better.

4. What bird most reminds you of yourself?

5. What’s your most evocative and inspiring taboo daydream? 6. In your past, were there ever experiences that made you cry for joy in ways that felt almost orgasmic?

How might you attract or induce a catharsis like that sometime soon?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): By volume, the Amazon is the largest river in the world.

But where does it originate? Scientists have squabbled about that issue for over 300 years. Everyone agrees the source is in southwestern Peru. But is it the Apurímac River? The Marañón? The Mantaro? There are good arguments in favor of each. Let’s use this question as a poetic subtext as we wonder and meditate about the origin of your life force, Virgo. As is the case for the Amazon, your source has long been mysterious. But I suspect that’s going to change during the next 14 months. And the clarification process begins soon.

by rob brezSny LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): When Warsan

Shire was a child, she immigrated to the UK with her Somalian parents. Now she’s a renowned poet who writes vividly about refugees, immigrants and other marginalized people. To provide support and inspiration for the part of you that feels like an exile or fugitive or displaced person, and in accordance with current astrological omens, I offer you two quotes

by Shire. 1. “I belong deeply to myself.” 2.

“Document the moments you feel most in love with yourself—what you’re wearing, who you’re around, what you’re doing.

Recreate and repeat.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Once in

a while came a moment when everything seemed to have something to say to you.”

So says a character in Alice Munro’s short story “Jakarta.” Now I’m using that message as the key theme of your horoscope.

Why? Because you’re at the peak of your ability to be reached, to be touched, to be communicated with. You’re willing to be keenly receptive. You’re strong enough to be deeply influenced. Is it because you’re so firmly anchored in your understanding and acceptance of who you are?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

In 1928, novelist Virginia Woolf wrote a letter to her friend Saxon Sidney Turner. “I am reading six books at once, the only way of reading,” she confided, “since one book is only a single unaccompanied note, and to get the full sound, one needs ten others at the same time.” My usual inclination is to counsel you Sagittarians to focus on one or two important matters rather than on a multitude of semi-important matters.

But in accordance with current astrological omens, I’m departing from tradition to suggest you adopt Woolf’s approach to books as your approach to everything.

Your life in the coming weeks should be less like an acoustic ballad and more like a symphony for 35 instruments.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): From

49-45 B.C., civil war wracked the Roman Republic. Julius Caesar led forces representing the common people against armies fighting for the aristocracy’s interests. In 45 B.C., Caesar brought a contingent of soldiers to Roman territory in North Africa, intent on launching a campaign against the enemy. As the general disembarked from his ship, he accidentally slipped and fell. Thinking fast, he exclaimed, “Africa, I have tight hold of you!” and clasped the ground, thus implying he had lowered himself on purpose in a ritual gesture of conquest. In this way, he converted an apparent bad omen into a positive one. And indeed, he won the ensuing battle, which was the turning point that led to ultimate victory and the war’s end. That’s good role modeling for you right now.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Below are

sweet words I’ve borrowed from poets I love. I invite you to use them to communicate with anyone who is primed to become more lyrically intimate with you. The time is right for you to reach out! 1. “You look like a sea of gems.”—Qahar Aasi 2. “I love you with what in me is unfinished.”—Robert Bly 3. “Yours is the light by which my spirit’s born.”—E. E. Cummings 4. “Tell me the most exquisite truths you know.”—Barry Hannah 5. “It’s very rare to know you, very strange and wonderful.”—F. Scott Fitzgerald 6. “When you smile like that you are as beautiful as all my secrets.”—Anne Carson 7. Everything you say is “like a secret voice speaking straight out of my own bones.”

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: September 25, 2018 Time: 9:00 a.m.

Dept: 8 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

Cash in Hand

A good friend of mine asked me about getting a reverse mortgage on his property. I gave him some bad information. I hate that. After all these years in real estate, you would think by now I might have overcome the habit of handing out bad information. But, alas, the opportunity of doing so presents itself so often.

“Hey, Doug,” he said, “I’m thinking of getting a reverse mortgage.

How does that work?”

“Well,” I said, “unfortunately you won’t qualify, because you have to be at least 62 years old.”

“Very funny,” he said. “I got that covered by a long shot.”

“Oh yeah,” I said. “So the rest of it is, you gotta own your place free and clear, or close to it, because the amount of loan you can get is based on the value of your home minus any loan you have against it.”

“Got that covered,” he said. “I own it outright.”

“Okay,” I said. “The way it works is you get approved for a certain loan amount, and you don’t have to make monthly payments on

(530) 570-8402 CalBre: 01495078

that loan. Instead, the bank sends you a monthly check. It seems crazy, but it’s true.”

“What happens when I die?” he asked. “I mean I know it’s open to debate about what happens to me, but what happens to the loan?”

“All is forgiven.” I said. “For the loan that is. If, when you die, your house is worth less than the loan amount, the loan is forgiven.”

Well,” he said, “I was hoping to use the money to buy the lot next door.”

“They won’t give you cash, it’s set up to give you monthly payments, not a lump sum in hand.”

Boom! That’s where I gave him bad information. My friend talked to the loan guy, who corrected me.

Take note: A reverse mortgage can put cash in your hand, as well as pay you monthly payments. It seems crazy, but it’s true.

Either way, you make no payments. Boom!
