EDITORIAL

Chico’s waning Camp Fire sympathy The CN&R watched Chicoans come together to support

those in need following Nov. 8. Money was raised, supplies were donated, doors were opened to friends and strangers alike. The generosity heartened us.

At the same time, our cynical inner voices wondered when the good will would end. Sympathy has waned here and there—especially vile are the greedy landlords cashing in on the disaster by putting rentals on the real estate market for exorbitant prices—but we were caught off guard by one recent case of NIMBYism.

Nearly five months to the day after the Camp Fire, we watched with jaws agape as several Chico residents appeared before the City Council (last Tuesday, April 9) to appeal a woman’s plan to let a handful of displaced residents temporarily reside in RVs on her Royce Lane property, as allowed by special emergency ordinance permitting.

The gripes varied. Some were concerned trenching for power lines might harm old-growth walnut trees or that additional vehicular traffic would further deteriorate the private roadway already in disrepair. Others

worried about potential septic issues and noise, and charged that the permit lasted far too long. In general, they feared a decline in quality of life. “Please don’t put the needs of temporary residents above the needs of longtime Chico families,” implored one neighbor.

They lost the appeal on a vote along party lines (5-2).

The project’s applicant, a local doctor who lives on-site, appeared responsive to her neighbors’ complaints and ably defended the plan to share her 1-plus acre lot with up to four families. One prospective occupant is a longtime Chicoan—a nurse displaced when the house she rented was put on the market.

Will her and others’ presence pose an inconvenience to existing neighbors? Perhaps. Is it severe enough to outweigh the merits of the project? We think not. This is precisely the sort of temporary housing Chico desperately needs for the greater good—which is the reason the council approved them in the first place. If anything, we encourage other Chicoans with the means to consider embarking on similar projects.

Let’s remember, we’re in this together. Ω

GUEST COMMENT

Tax system skewed to the rich, powerful Tandsystem is fair, whether it raises the revenue we need, whether it promotes economic growth and equality. his year, we should be asking whether our tax

The answer to all three questions is, unfortunately, no. The tax code, already full of loopholes for the wealthy and corporations, was laden with even more by the new tax law. That law also will add nearly $2 trillion to the national debt, endangering services like Medicare, Medicaid and education, as well as vital new initiatives like lowering health care costs and improving roads and bridges.

Over 20 percent of the TrumpGOP tax cuts are estimated to have gone to the wealthiest 1 percent of by Americans last year.

Big profitable corporations got a 40 percent cut in their tax rate.

the Republican tax law went into effect.

Republicans want to make up the shortfall by cutting public services working families rely on—while, incredibly, cutting taxes for the wealthy even more. In his recently released budget, President Trump proposed slashing $1.4 trillion from Medicare, Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act (ACA), while cutting taxes by $1.1 trillion, once again mostly to the benefit of the rich.

President Trump promised workers would benefit from the corporate tax cuts, guaranteeing that working families would get a $4,000 boost in wages. According to a tally by Americans for Tax Fairness, only 4 percent of employees have seen any increase in their compensation tied to the tax cuts, and the great majority of those payouts have been one-time bonuses.

A review of our tax system yields troubling results.

But we can fix that. Congress can begin by repealing the tax cuts for the rich and corporations in the recent GOP tax law. Then it can start closing all the other special loopholes inserted in our tax code over the years by the wealthy and well-connected.

Those cost us trillions of dollars in public revenue we need to fulfill solemn promises we’ve made to ourselves, like Social Security and Medicare, as well as invest in our future through bold new investments. Once those loopholes are closed, on some future Tax Day we can count ourselves proud participants in a fair share tax system. 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

Trusty locals A few weeks after the Camp Fire ignited, yours truly wrote about the influx of parachute reporters and groused about how they’d eventually bail from covering the disaster. That would leave the reporting largely to local journalists.

Sure, there are occasional flyovers from regional and national newspaper, TV and radio folk, but the aftermath primarily is in the hands of Chico’s trusty newspapers, this one and the EnterpriseRecord (including the Paradise Post insert).

Speaking of the latter, someone over at its operations at East Park Avenue and MLK Parkway submitted a package of the Chico E-R’s early Camp Fire reporting for consideration for a Pulitzer Prize—the nation’s premier journalism contest named in honor of Joseph Pulitzer, the late newspaper publisher and founder of the Columbia School of Journalism. It was entered in the category of Local Reporting, but the Pulitzer jury moved it to a more appropriate one, Breaking News.

The E-R’s excellent efforts in the initial weeks were buoyed by reports and photos by its big Bay Area sister papers. The submission didn’t win, but it was one of the finalists, which is pretty great for Chico’s scrappy little daily. All of the stories—dated between the day the Camp Fire started, Nov. 8, and Dec. 18—can be found at pulitzer.org. (The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette won for its reporting on the mass shooting at the city’s Tree of Life synagogue.)

The entries were written during the tenure of former Chico E-R Editor David Little, who left the paper at the end of the year. He’s since been working part-time in a public relations role for the North Valley Community Foundation, the Chico nonprofit distributing tens of millions of dollars of charitable donations for short- and longterm disaster relief.

That sounds like a fulfilling gig following his resignation from the newspaper, where he’d sat in the chief’s seat for just under 20 years. However, I was happy to hear this week that Little’s back in the journalism realm: He’s now serving as the adviser to Chico State’s student newspaper, The Orion.

As I’ve written before, I have a soft spot for The Orion and the E-R, where, in that order, I cut my teeth. But I have a greater affection for the CN&R, obviously, and I’m more aware at this time than ever before of its function in Chico and the surrounding communities to provide critical in-depth coverage of important issues, such as Meredith J. Cooper’s latest Camp Fire cover story in this issue. There are countless other examples that also set our work apart.

To wit, earlier this week, as I scanned the headlines, I came upon a national story by one of those aforementioned parachute reporters about the water situation on the Ridge; how residents are moving back there in spite of contamination throughout a water system that may take years to address. It’s a short version of a story first told in the pages of the CN&R three months ago—when nothing had been reported about that crisis and the agencies charged with public health had failed to issue warnings.

Our role in the community is indeed unique—complementary to the Chico E-R’s daily coverage—and Butte County is the beneficiary.

‘Business as usual’ Re “Drastic measures” (Cover story, by Judy Lin, April 4): CN&R’s recent cover story on the coming wildfire season included comments by California Public Utilities Commission President Michael Picker. His comments were so incredibly casual and stupid they should have activated the CN&R editor to write something about the role and power of the CPUC and how strong CPUC leadership could force PG&E to be more responsible so that their equipment sparks fewer horrendous fires.

PG&E’s equipment was responsible for 17 of the 21 major fires in 2017. And PG&E said that its equipment probably caused the Camp Fire.

The state Public Utilities Commission has the responsibility to regulate services and utilities, protect consumers, safeguard the environment, and assure Californians’ access to safe and reliable utility infrastructure and services.

The CPUC is known for enabling PG&E’s focus on profits

and its lax safety culture.

With Picker president of the CPUC, it is likely business as usual, and people should care, unless they just want to accept wildfire tragedies as inevitable.

I doubt that the large majority of people blaming climate change for the Camp Fire acknowledge their role in climate change, nor are they willing to make the sacrifices to stop climate change.

Blaming climate change for the Camp Fire is just too easy.

CSUC pres disappoints Re “Unbelievable opportunity” (Newslines, by Ashiah Scharaga, April 11): As a 20-year employee of Chico State, I have been proud of the efforts the university has made toward transparency and progressive engagement with the community.

President Gayle Hutchinson’s bombshell letter opposing the location of a homeless center on Orange Street leaves me questioning that progress.

After a week spent promoting “courageous conversations” and community engagement through Great Debate events, this administration, without campus consultation as far as I am aware, has shamed us all, with this NIMBY condemnation of the efforts to provide a safe and dignified alternative to sleeping on the streets, in the name of public safety.

Clearly, the homeless are not the population whose safety is of concern.

I have close family and friends who volunteer their time and energy at the Safe Space Winter Shelter, and I know from them that those needing these services pose no more danger to the community than do other citizens. I am appalled that despite the claim to not “disparage a population as criminals,” this is exactly what this letter does.

Demonizing the homeless for society’s problems is no solution.

The homeless are here, they live in our neighborhoods, the need is present, but alas compassion is not.

Action News ran a hit piece last week intended to raise fear within our community by conjuring dangers to local schools with having a low-barrier shelter near downtown. Meanwhile, every location mentioned to alarm residents is located in the midst of low-barrier frat houses, dormitories and residential housing.

This was a thinly guised mob attack on community members based on economic status and the disabilities many of them endure.

Plain and simple. You see, when a mob sends its people, it is not sending its best. It’s sending people with lots of xenophobia and rhetoric, and they’re bringing those callous, unclean and unsafe, views with them. They’re bringing lies, they’re bringing innuendos. They’re pawns.

And some, I assume, thought they were do-gooders.

I’m reminded of The Poseidon Adventure, where well-intended people angrily dismissed the heroes who had calmly and accurately figured a way to safety. The way forward and off the sinking postCamp Fire ship is the Orange Street Shelter. Thank you, Safe Space, the Jesus Center and the city of Chico, for leading the way.

Bill Mash Chico

Speaking of the Camp Fire Understandably, survivors of the Camp Fire want to rebuild fast, those with money that is. However, if we are to learn from our past mistakes of the previous fire footprints where building standards were always lowered to rebuild faster, we really need to slow down and get it right this time: fireproof concrete, steel frames, six-lane evacuation routes are what’s needed.

Paradise could be the model Green New Deal city.

Instead, Assembly Bill 430 (aka Camp Fire Housing Assistance Act of 2019), introduced by climate denier Assemblyman James Gallagher, is another one of those hurry-up-and-lower-buildingstandards mistakes. It is an end-run attempt around CEQA, which puts environmental screening standards on all proposed projects.

“Since 1999, 13 large wildfires burned within the footprint of the Camp Fire,” said Chris Folkman, a disaster analyst. “I think there needs

to be a frank conversation about rebuilding and fire resilience. The good news is there are measures to be taken to make a house less susceptible to a wildfire. In the end, we have to face the fact that the climate is changing and a lot of houses are built in dangerous areas.”

Editor’s note: For more on AB 430, see Ashiah Scharaga’s report on page 9.

Beware of mail snatchers If your mail is delivered to a multi-address mailbox in Chico (typical for an apartment complex or newer subdivision), beware of mail thieves. Someone either has a USPS key or a tool that can pop open those boxes. Although all mailboxes of that type are equally vulnerable, the USPS doesn’t stop delivering mail to your box until it’s actually broken into. Then, besides possibly losing something valuable, deliveries cease, and you must start picking up your mail at the Vallombrosa post office.

Our box was hit early, and we’ve been doing that for the past six weeks. If your box hasn’t been hit yet, some recommendations: pick up your mail every day to minimize your loss when it does happen; don’t use the box for your outgoing mail; be careful ordering valuable merchandise that might be delivered by the USPS; and keep an eye out for any strange activity at your mailbox.

The USPS doesn’t seem to have the capability or the will to solve this problem, or even inform other patrons that a problem exists.

NEWSLINES DOWNSTROKE OROVILLE ADDRESSES BLIGHT

Seeking a remedy to blight, the Oroville City Council unanimously passed an urgency ordinance that temporarily expands the city’s Nuisance Code to include significant public health and safety hazards on private properties. (See “Southside’s plight,” Newslines, April 4.)

The ordinance, adopted Tuesday night (April 16), takes effect immediately and lasts 45 days. Interim City Administrator Tom Lando told the CN&R by email Wednesday morning that the council will permanently change the code within that period.

Urgency ordinance provisions give city staff immediate right of entry onto private property to remedy code violations specified as hazards.

CHICO STATE WARY OF SHELTER

Chico State’s administration isn’t on board with the proposed location of the Orange Street Shelter, a low-barrier facility proposed by Safe Space Winter Shelter and the Jesus Center in the south campus neighborhood, at 388 Orange St. President Gayle Hutchinson said as much in a letter addressed to the City Council dated April 11. Among other things, the correspondence said a low-barrier shelter would introduce “an element over which both our campus and our city can exercise limited control.”

Organizers told the CN&R that they had previously had a positive meeting with Chico State representatives, but Hutchinson was not present. Angela McLaughlin, president of Safe Space’s board of directors, said the organizers have a safety plan and Safe Space has “effectively and safely run a lowbarrier shelter in a dozen locations per year for the past five years.”

PARADISE MAYOR FACES RECALL

Jody Jones—the face of Paradise following the Camp Fire—risks ouster from the Town Council after a resident notified the town of his intent to file a recall petition Wednesday (April 17).

Jones (pictured), the mayor, and Greg Bolin, the vice mayor, were served with notices at Tuesday night’s council meeting. Town Clerk Dina Volenski told the CN&R she certified the noticeof-intent filing Wednesday morning.

Resident Loren Harvey had served Jones and Bolin at the previous meeting, but when he came to the Town Hall to file Tuesday (April 16), Volenski informed him he needed more signatures of support—20, versus the 10 he’d gotten—for his application to be valid. On the recall petition, he’ll need 2,836 signatures.

GoFundMe. “He loved history. He was an avid craftsman and coin collector,” it reads. On Nov. 18, however, “the family sadly had to pull the plug.”

And for Ida Flores, of Magalia, “[t]he stress of losing her home was too much,” her granddaughter writes on a GoFundMe page. She died on Nov. 28.

Two days later, Sydney Zimmerman went to check on her father, Sandy

Zimmerman, who she says was staying in a hotel room in Sacramento provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

The whole family had been displaced from their Paradise homes by the Camp Fire. He hadn’t been in contact and they were worried. When they arrived, he was dead. “[H]e was also a victim of this tragedy,” Sydney wrote on a GoFundMe page.

Alice Cummings was staying at the Red Cross shelter at the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds on Jan. 5 when she fell ill and was rushed to the hospital. The 61-year-old evacuee from Magalia had developed pneumonia. She died at the hospital, according to the Butte County Sheriff’s Office.

The stories go on and on. And yet, for these Ridge residents who were forced to leave their homes—some of them in a panic, some of them needing assistance to reach safety—there are no crosses at a memorial display on the Skyway in remembrance of their lives. Despite the fact that some health professionals might categorize them as victims of the Camp Fire disaster, nobody is officially labeling them as such.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, however, tracking deaths both directly and indirectly related to a disaster is important in developing strategies to avoid such deaths in the future.

“During a disaster, it is important to conduct surveillance to determine the extent and scope of the health effects on the affected populations. Surveillance is the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of deaths, injuries, and illnesses which enables public health to track and identify any adverse health effects in the community,” the CDC’s website reads.

Furthermore, the agency has put together a toolkit for gathering this surveillance.

“By documenting and raising awareness of risks associated with certain types of disasters, we can potentially prevent unnecessary deaths through refinement of strategies to prepare for, respond to, and recover from future disasters,” the toolkit reads.

But no agency in Butte County, the state or

the nation appears to be tracking deaths indirectly related to the Camp Fire. In response to a CN&R query, an unnamed FEMA spokesperson responded with a statement: “FEMA does not determine deaths after a disaster. Determining whether someone’s death was directly or indirectly related to a disaster is always difficult to do, and the decision ultimately rests with the professional judgment of the attending physician, medical examiner, or coroner. State, Tribal, or Territorial governments may provide

guidance to hospitals, health care providers, and medical examiners on reporting disaster-related deaths.”

The California Office of Emergency Management referred this reporter to the Butte County Department of Public Health or the Coroner’s Office as the first places to look for local data. Neither is tracking that information, the CN&R was told. Butte County spokeswoman Casey Hatcher, Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Miranda Bowersox and Public Health spokeswoman Lisa Almageur referred the CN&R to local hospitals.

When asked about indirect death and injury data related to the Camp Fire, Nicole Johansson at Enloe Medical Center said via email that “that isn’t something we are tracking. You may contact the Sheriff/Corner’s Office.”

Phone and email messages to Oroville Hospital spokesman Jonathan Miceli went unanswered.

UC Davis Medical Center spokeswoman Karen Finney said her organization is tracking injury data and said that 12 patients were admitted to UC Davis with burns: “They arrived with conditions ranging from fair to critical, and one died,” she said. “One patient is currently in the hospital in serious condition.”

That one patient, Larry Smith, is listed among the 85 official Camp Fire deaths.

“As far as indirect deaths—things like people who may have been in a frail condition to begin with and this was the last straw, or they lost everything and gave up the will to live—I don’t have a good way of accounting for those. In some cases, they might not even be reported to us,” said Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea.

The sheriff did confirm that Williams, who died during the evacuation from Feather River Hospital, was not counted among the 85 Camp Fire victims. A man who committed suicide as the fire approached, however, was, despite the fact that the fire likely precipitated both deaths.

When asked about the CDC’s recommendation and toolkit, Honea said, “That’s something that’s on our radar.

But given the gravity and scope of this [disaster], we’re still in the process of finishing up the cases of those people who were direct victims—there are 11 individuals we are still working on identification for.” Ω

Dramatic exit Polarizing topics at lengthy council meeting cause early dismissal

There has been a palpable sense of fatigue in the

Chico City Council chambers lately. Tuesday (April 16) was the panel’s fifth consecutive weekly meeting, and the last two clocked in at more than five hours due to packed agendas and polarizing topics with lengthy discussion.

It appeared to all come to a head with an early shutdown of Tuesday’s meeting, which featured discussions on the budget, housing and public safety. The meeting ended before closed session, just past midnight.

Most public speakers showed up to voice support of Assembly Bill 430, introduced by Assemblyman James Gallagher, a Republican from Yuba City. Also known as the Camp Fire Housing Assistance Act, the bill would streamline development throughout Butte County up to 2030.

Councilwoman Kasey Reynolds asked her colleagues to send to the state Legislature a letter of support for the bill, which she said would “allow building in Chico to happen as quickly as possible, so we can keep prices down and get people housed.”

Her liberal colleagues were apprehensive.

Some noted that the final version of the bill has yet to be drafted. Councilwoman Ann Schwab called the proposed legislation an “overreach,” and added that rebuilding homes in Paradise should be the priority.

Reynolds replied by noting that some Chicobased employers have lost an estimated 7 percent

to 15 percent of their workforce due to the Camp Fire, and the city has a responsibility to help displaced employees get housed.

Public speakers in favor of the bill echoed Reynolds’ points. “Either you want to help people in emergency housing situations and are willing to overlook environmental regulations to get it done, or you’re not,” Kami Denlay told the panel.

In contrast, those against it said they felt it was tailored in the interest of developers.

Attorney Richard Harriman, who often represents environmental advocates, called it a “wide-open Trojan horse” exemption to the California Environmental Quality Act. Ultimately, the discussion fizzled—a vote for staff to provide input on the bill’s language failed 3-4, with Schwab, Mayor Randall Stone, Vice Mayor Alex Brown and Councilman Karl Ory against.

Tuesday marked the first of several budget

discussions for the 2019-20 fiscal year, as well.

vent the next two years, Administrative Services Director Scott Dowell painted a bleak picture down the road. He estimates that city revenues will stagnate by 2022-23.

At the same time, its debt to the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (aka CalPERS) will grow. By 2020, the city’s annual payment will be nearly $10 million, and by 2025, nearly $13 million—it was around $6 million in 2017.

Either the city has to generate more revenue (e.g., pursue a tax increase) to the tune of at least $1.2 million, Dowell said, or “will have to do some major reductions.”

City Manager Mark Orme already noted in his opening comments to the council that all departments, aside from Chico Police, are at 2013 staffing levels—since then, PD has grown by approximately 14 positions (five are grant-funded) and received the lion’s share of the general fund. About $26 million is proposed for CPD in 2019-20.

The topic was one of the more popular that night, with eight speakers. During public comment on the item, Chicoan Mat Bacior approached the council stupefied. While everyone wants a safer city, continuing to direct more money to law enforcement staffing is “short-sighted,” he said.

“This city, the infrastructure is falling apart.

It’s obvious,” he said. “I don’t think throwing more money at [public safety] is going to be the panacea we keep claiming it’s going to be.”

Following the budget discussion, the council took a step toward entertaining a sales tax.

The panel provided direction to staff and consultant EMC Research for a voter survey. It will ask Chicoans if they’d pass a 1-cent sales tax to fund public safety and roads. The vote fell along party lines.

lic safety at a later date. Reynolds initially wanted to discuss the declaration of a public safety emergency, but her colleagues took issue with that classification. The vote fell 4-3, with Schwab, Brown and Stone against.

Also, final appointments to the Commercial Cannabis Citizen Advisory Committee were made: Jessica MacKenzie/cannabis expert; Mike Waltz/local business representative; Carrie Welch/real estate representative; and community members Danelle Campbell and Vincent Villegas. Brown was chosen as the council appointee in a vote along party lines. Chico State chose Juanita Mottley, Student Health Center director, as its appointee.

The most speakers of the night,

about 24, showed up for business from the floor, which is when the meeting came to a halt. Many argued for the council to prioritize public safety and declare such an emergency. Ashley Atkinson mentioned a rash of recent robberies and said citizens are “living in fear.”

Others, like Erica Traverso, a longtime Justice for Desmond Phillips advocate, called on the city to defund its police department, which she called “poorly trained [and] overly aggressive.”

Kat, also with Justice for Desmond Phillips, said people possess a “privileged state of mind” when calling for a crime-free city without addressing systemic issues with the police department, which she said “includes military-style defense tactics” and lacks de-escalation and implicit-bias training.

“The officers will murder again,” she said.

During her impassioned comments, Kat cursed multiple times, causing a stir. When fellow attendee Jaime Jin retorted something indecipherable from her seat, Stone asked her to not “disturb the hearings or we’ll ask you to leave.”

Jin stormed off, calling out, “You’re a joke!” Others joined her chant and exited the chambers. In the cacophony, Stone pounded his gavel and shut down the meeting.

Several audience members lingered, a few yelling insults at one another, before being ushered out the doors.

Taxing biology Legislators in Sacramento push for gender-equity by arguing against ‘period tax’ Annie Wang remembers the panic she felt being a

freshman in a 500-person chemistry class at UC Davis when her period arrived and she didn’t have a tampon or pad. There was nowhere nearby to go, and leaving to find something meant missing class.

So she tried to focus on the lecture instead.

“I stayed in my seat and prayed it would not be too bad. When I got up I had left a mark on UC Davis in a very bold way,” she said. “It was a very embarrassing moment for me.”

She knew she couldn’t be the only one in this predicament—that “a lot of my classmates had experienced similar situations where they were in class or going to class and suddenly got their period and were not able to go to class or had to scramble,” she said.

Now she’s one of many student activists, advocates, experts and officials working toward what they call “menstrual equity.” In California, that means exempting period products from state sales tax and ensuring that tampons and pads are provided as freely as toilet paper in public schools and universities, government buildings and prisons.

It’s part of a global movement—partially funded by feminine hygiene product manufacturers—to bring periods into the consideration of mainstream policymakers. A documentary about “period poverty”—the reality that some women miss work and some girls miss school About this story: because of cultural It’s an abridged version of a taboos or because story published by CALmatters. org, an independent public they can’t afford perijournalism venture covering od products—won an California state politics and Oscar this year. government.

Already in California, public schools in low-income areas are required to provide free period products, and college students are petitioning for free products in state universities. And an ongoing state Superior Court case claims the state is violating the 14th Amendment equal protection clause by taxing the sales of period products, arguing that tampons and pads are not luxuries.

But the most closely watched effort is underway in the state Capitol, where lawmakers expect to advance a bill to end that sales tax.

A few years back, there were a lot of eye rolls and snickers when Democratic Assemblywoman Cristina Garcia of Bell Gardens carried such a bill. Embracing the novelty of it all, she dubbed herself “Tampon Queen” and propped a huge pad and tampon in her office window.

“It allowed a conversation to happen that was more than a tax—it’s about menstrual equity and

our biology,” she said.

Her bill cleared the Legislature in 2016, but Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed it, saying it should have been addressed within the state budget and that “tax breaks are the same thing as new spending.”

With a new governor in place, she’s at it again. This time her colleagues have been so eager to back her Assembly Bill 31 that it has more co-authors than any other this session.

Brown isn’t alone. Editorials in newspapers such

as the Los Angeles Times have contended that it’s unwise to carve out exemptions from state sales tax in such a random fashion—especially when the state taxes items equally as essential, such as toilet paper, diapers and toothpaste. The California Tax Reform Association criticized the bill for drawing a line new to the state sales tax: “gender necessity…. The problem with drawing such a line is that many possibilities for exemption follow the logic of gender specificity. Clothing, cosmetics, over-the-counter and pharmaceuticals are all examples of products that can be construed as both gender-based and necessary,” the association noted.

And the California State Association of Counties also opposes the idea. “After the past 30 years of changes to sales and use tax collections, counties have come to depend on those revenues to balance their budgets and specifically offset the costs of providing realigned services, including criminal justice, health, mental health and social services,” the association wrote.

“I respect the need for California to be fiscally sound,” Garcia countered, “but the state budget should not be balanced by a tax of a person’s uterus. The same goes for local governments; our tax codes should be gender-neutral.”

UC Davis students Annie Wang is working to ensure placement of tampons and pads in UC Davis restrooms as part of a program now supported by volunteers, donations and the university.

A legislative analysis said the bill, if enacted, would cost the state of California $9 million in lost revenue in the first year and $19 million in the second year.

Menstruation is about equity and engagement as much as it is about health, said Jennifer Weiss-Wolf, vice president of The Brennan Center for Justice at New York University who co-founded Period Equity, an organization that is behind the tampon tax campaigns nationwide. It produced a glitzy ad that has model and actress Amber Rose fondling a bezel-set diamond pendant from which a bejeweled locket contains a tampon. She asks, “Where else would you keep something 36 states tax as a luxury?”

The ad’s kicker: “Tell the government where to stick this tax.”

“The taxes and the challenges of access are unfair and discriminatory toward women,” said Weiss-Wolf. “It’s an enormous distraction and at worst a hindrance to being fully present.”

After Wang’s embarrassing moment at school, she started a campus chapter of PERIOD., The Menstrual Movement, a nonprofit that donates products and works on menstrual policy and education, which is petitioning the UC Davis administration to provide free products in all campus bathrooms. The school approved and funded a pilot program to provide free products, stocked by student volunteers, in up to 13 campus bathrooms.

The chapter surveyed students and reported that 52 percent of student respondents said they missed class or work in the last school year because they could not access a tampon or pad.

Whenever Alden would visit Chico, he recalled, “people would be driving by in their cars and stop and reach out the window and wave and say, ‘Hey, Jonathan, how are you doing?’ spontaneously.”

Jonathan had a larger-than-life personality in a smaller-than-average body. He was born with a rare genetic disease, osteogenesis imperfecta, which caused his brittle bones to break frequently throughout his life. This also meant that Jonathan spent much of his life in

a wheelchair, in a lot of pain, and in and out of the hospital.

But he didn’t see his disease as limiting. In fact, in his autobiography, Not Just Any Bag of Bones, he described it as “a very small part” of who he was on the inside, despite it standing out as a “very visible part” on the outside.

Jonathan’s book was published last year, 17 years after his death. Alden saw to it that the manuscript was shared with the world, though Jonathan initially asked him not to publish it, for fear of what the family might think.

The autobiography, penned around 1996, paints a portrait of a man who defied the odds and doggedly pursued his dreams, living an extraordinary life. Within its approximately 250 pages, Jonathan not only reflects upon his experiences and accomplishments, but also

encourages others to do the same, inviting the reader to see life as an opportunity to “show the world your work of art.”

Years after his brother’s death, Alden said he felt an urge to return to the manuscript and realized it was a treasure.

“Every time I read it, I said, ‘This is a story that would appeal to a lot of people,’” whether the reader is living with a disability, loves sports or just enjoys autobiographies, Alden told the CN&R. “His optimism was infectious. It really was. He did not let stuff get in his way.”

Jonathan spent much of his childhood in Shriners hospitals, which he called his “second home.” His family moved around a lot— he grew up in Hawaii, San Mateo, Indiana and Michigan.

Alden said because the two were eight years apart, they grew much closer in their adult years. Jonathan, the youngest of four, was “kind of the mascot of the family. He was the comedian, even for somebody who was in pain a lot.”

The U.S. National Library of Medicine estimates that six or seven people per 100,000 worldwide live with osteogeneisis imperfecta. The disease is classified by types, and Jonathan’s was more severe: He fractured bones before he was born, and over the course

of his nearly 36 years of life, he broke more than 100. Over his lifetime, Jonathan had many attendants who helped him with his daily needs, like getting into and out of the bathtub, mopping the floors, preparing dinner and running errands. He referred to them as “the glue that holds me together.”

Though Jonathan’s intelligence was often underestimated, Alden said, he and his parents persisted in advocating for his mental acuity.

“It’s amazing he got as good an education as he did,” Alden said. “Particularly in those days, they just wanted to pigeonhole people like him into special ed.”

Jonathan arrived in Chico in 1983 to attend Chico State, which he described as “one giant roller coaster, never a dull moment.” He pledged the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity and, as a fierce football fan, served as the kicking coach for the Wildcat football team. He graduated in 1987 with a degree in communications and decided to call Chico his home.

Post-college, he hosted a sports segment called “Chalk Talk” for the local NBC affiliate.

For 10 years, he was the honorary head coach of the East-West Shrine Football Classic.

Later in his life, Jonathan was an educational and motivational speaker, an advocate for those with disabilities, and passionate about public service.

Blame the cavemen Why is a bag of chips so much easier to eat than a bag of carrots? The siren call of pizza and other junk food has less to do with your willpower and more to do with marketing and genetics. To our ancestors, fat, sugar and salt were necessary to survive. Thus, they were built to crave it. The stuff was hard to find, so the self-control part of their brains remained underdeveloped. Today, neither our willpower nor our cravings has changed, but we can find those “bad” calories anywhere. Junk food also triggers happy hormones, leading manufacturers to spend millions to find the perfect ratio of fat, sugar and salt (known as the “the bliss point”) to seduce you. One suggestion is to cut down on sugar, so you become more sensitive to sweetness and, in theory, eat less of it. If that fails here and there, remember to cut yourself a break.

Email richard.bamlet@ chicoca.gov before May 9, the next Tree Committee meeting. (Visit tinyurl.com/ChicoTreeList for the committee agenda report that includes the current list.)

imperiled,” cover story, Dec. 4, 2014).

Bamlet said those sycamores didn’t need to go. Arborists have techniques to trim trunks and roots in a manner that looks extreme but, performed correctly, can save both the tree and the paving. Coincidentally, the day he spoke with the CN&R—last Wednesday (April 11), before a city Tree Committee meeting—he’d attended a Sacramento Tree Foundation session about sidewalks and trees.

Through the Tree Committee, incorporating public input, Bamlet is developing a framework he hopes will forestall situations like the one on Mission Ranch Boulevard.

That framework: an urban forest management plan, with a 50-year horizon. It’s similar to the Bidwell Park Master Management Plan—in fact, members of the Bidwell Park and Playground Commission compose the Tree Committee—and Bamlet also compares it to the city’s general plan, which sets a blueprint for development. Bamlet’s predecessor, Denice Britton, started drafting a master plan in 2011 but retired in 2013.

A key “tool” for developers, designers and city officials who sign off on projects is a list of street trees approved for medians, parkway strips and parking lots. Updating that list constitutes a key part of the process (see infobox) and began at last Wednesday’s meeting.

Bamlet has a citywide tree inventory set to commence within two months and finish by the end of the year. The master plan also will codify planting, pruning and tree care—its crafting will run into 2020. He expects to revisit the tree list every few years.

Committee Chair Garrett Liles, a soil and plant sciences professor at Chico State, told the dozen attendees: “We’re a city of trees— we want a city of diverse trees.”

“It’s an ecological issue,” Liles said, “not just an urban street issue.”

Climate change is another factor.

“Whether you believe it’s man-made or it’s natural phenomenon, it’s getting hotter— that’s undisputed,” Bamlet said. “And it’s hotter than the sun in Chico during the summer!

So we need to be looking at trees that grow in this Mediterranean climate.”

Does that mean native species only?

Bamlet thinks not. He says other varieties do well here, and limiting the “palette” would be counterproductive.

Woody Elliott, a Chicoan who serves as conservation chair of the Mount Lassen chapter of the California Native Plant Society, said he’d “encourage the use of native plants whenever appropriate.” He cited as a good example the valley oaks within the Highway 32 median between Highway 99 and Forest Avenue. However, he added, his group isn’t opposed to other species, in the right context.

“That’s part of the planning process,” Ellliott said, “that Bidwell Park is for the natives and street trees are more heterogeneous.”

Robin McCollum of Chico Tree Advocates also prefers natives. He supports the push for diversity—and large trees, which he said last longer, provide more shade and remove more greenhouse gases from the air.

Yet, with 4,000 trees removed but not replaced (by Bamlet’s count), McCollum told the CN&R: “Any tree is better than no tree.” Ω

ECO EVENT

Diversity represents a consideration more

significant than aesthetic. Bamlet explained before and during the meeting that bugs, both insects and pathogens, pose a serious threat to tree species. “It’s not a matter of if, but when” Chico will face an arborial plague, he said.

A beetle, the polyphagous shot hole borer, infests trees including California sycamores and has migrated north from Los Angeles to Ventura. Gypsy moth larvae feast on valley oak leaves; two were found in Butte County in 2010, indicating to Bamlet they could return.

Based on a decade-old study, Chico has 38,000 trees in public rights of way. Seventy percent come from just six families: maple, sycamore, oak, pistache, walnut and crape.

Maples hold the highest proportion, at 18 percent of the canopy. While not as unbalanced as some cities—Portland, for instance, has 40 percent of one species, Norway maple—Chico’s breakdown raises concerns.

caffeinated legacy

The Kettle is on

Oziel Magaña is an attentive shop owner. During a recent interview at Mondos Coffeehouse, he checked in with a regular who’d taken the last drip of coffee in a dispenser and thanked a couple of students on their way out the door. He gushed about his team of 14 part-time workers, seven of whom participate in a work training program through Far Northern Regional Center, which serves individuals with developmental disabilities. Magaña, who has a background as a social worker, gave himself “a major crash course” in business ownership when he purchased Mondos in 2009 with his brother, Esteban (the pair closed their former shop, Euro Cafe, to run Mondos). Now, as the brothers celebrate 10 years in business, Magaña is pursuing his master’s in business administration.

He’s also dedicated to nurturing what he sees as a legacy business in Chico—Mondos was founded in 1997 by Tim and Brandee Hamor. The shop, at 995 Nord Ave., Ste. 100, is known for its cozy atmosphere and lush display of indoor plants— along with its coffee and delicious breakfast sandwiches.

How have things evolved over a decade?

What’s next for Mondos?

At some point—I’m not eternal— I’m not going to be here. And it’s really important for me that this continues.

Kevin Jaradah is building up quite a portfolio of businesses here in Chico, in a short amount of time. In fact, this Friday (April 19) marks the one-year anniversary of The Lab Bar & Grill, the science-themed pub off of Cohasset Road that boasts a variety of beers on tap and quite possibly the best chicken sandwich in town (I might, however, need to sit down for a side-by-side comparison with the version at Bill’s Towne Lounge).

As if running the Lab and Spike’s Bottle Shop weren’t enough, Jaradah’s got a new venture. Last Saturday (April 13), I stopped in to check out The Brew Kettle, on Nord Avenue across from Safeway. What a cool little place! It’s a combination craft brew bar/liquor store/lounge and like nothing else currently in Chico.

When I got there, a handful of people were occupying futons along a wall and a table in the center of the space. I ordered a half-pint of a blonde ale and sat on a futon in one of about half a dozen groupings, each of them facing its own bigscreen TV. The reggae on the stereo was a refreshing break from the seemingly constant pop noise everywhere else.

“I just want this to be a chill spot,” Jaradah told me. So far, it’s working. At the moment, in terms of food, he’s just serving tamales—from the infamous Mary, who also makes tamales and fried chicken for the Durham Country Market—but hopes to expand the kitchen offerings. And, with an alcohol license that allows him to sell solely beer, he hopes to attract an all-ages crowd. The bonus: You can buy beer to go. Best of luck!

SAndAl SeASon Just in time for the warm weather, Baker’s Birkenstock is celebrating its 43rd anniversary. Stop by the Chico shop, on Broadway—which currently also houses the Paradise store—now through the end of April and enter to win $100 credit to the store. The shop has super cute sandals and an awesome selection of socks. I can’t bring myself to get on board with combining the two, though!

Sign SAved I had no idea until earlier this week that local homeless advocate/tree hugger Charles Withuhn also happens to be a woodworker. Apparently, he carved the iconic sign that hangs outside Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. back in the 1980s. Sadly, it was hit recently by a truck and broken into several pieces—but do not fear, it’s been rehung after some TLC from Withuhn, who gifted the roughly $2,500 job to Ken Grossman as a way to thank him for all the generosity he’s shown since the Camp Fire. How’s that for good karma?

BAcK in Town After abruptly shutting down the Tesla Energy operations in Chico last summer and laying off 30 employees there, the company is poised to reopen its Huss Lane office in another capacity: as a service station. As far as I’m concerned, the company owned by Elon Musk has some work to do reputation-wise locally, so let’s hope it treats its new employees better than its old ones.

SURVEYING the DESTRUCTION

After two major fires, specialists and planners chart a new course for Concow

ive-plus months after California’s deadliest and most destructive wildfire wreaked havoc on Butte County’s foothills communities, experts are still pondering a complicated, but critical question: How do we avoid another Camp Fire?

The answers are far from simple. But for the two dozen local stakeholders who got together April 4 in Concow to survey what’s left of that community, one thing was certain: Whatever we do, we must abandon the status quo.

CN&R

APRIL 18, 2019

The group, assembled by the Butte County Fire Safe Council, represented a wide range of local experts—from Cal Fire, the U.S. Forest Service, the Butte County Resource Conservation District, the Konkow Maidu tribe, among others—who, together, possess a vast amount of knowledge and experience when it comes to fires, the landscape and topography, and planning.

They gathered in Concow because of the historical context it provides. It has, after all,

burned before—most recently during the devastating Butte Lightning Complex fires of 2008. Strangely enough, the blaze that leveled Concow that time also was dubbed the Camp Fire. So history does have a way of repeating itself. Had wind conditions mirrored those of last Nov. 8, the day the 2018 Camp Fire ignited, Paradise may have seen destruction a decade earlier as well.

“This is one of the largest high-severity burn zones

“This used to be lush forest,” says Calli-Jane DeAnda, executive director of the Butte County Fire Safe Council.

She’d assembled a group of stakeholders to discuss the region’s future.

in California, one of the most devastated ecosystems in our state,” said Calli-Jane DeAnda, executive director of the Butte County Fire Safe Council, who was leading the day’s discussion. “The Camp Fire was the deadliest and largest fire—and I think Concow has [taken] the brunt of that ecologically. We are all dealing with something that has never necessarily been

tackled before.”

“This used to be lush forest,” DeAnda explained. “But the ’08 fire burned so much, and the Camp Fire burned so hot, that now it looks like the Nevada desert.”

For the next four hours, the group identified problems that contributed to the recent Camp Fire—too much dead wood and brush, poorly planned communities, difficult terrain, climate change. The solutions weren’t clear-cut, but could be whittled

^^

down to a few key ideas: thoughtful planning of the wildland-urban interface (aka WUI, pronounced “wooey”) and continual maintenance of it, to include forest thinning and prescribed burning. Any solution will require partnerships that have, thus far, been difficult to forge.

Other fire-stricken regions of the state are dealing with similar scenarios on a smaller scale. So, while the group focused its discussion on the local landscape, they did so with the understanding that whatever the decision-makers do right now has much broader implications. Indeed, lawmakers and scientists across the state—and even the world—are watching and learning from what’s happening here.

DeAnda believes the first area of attack should be Concow, as the level of devastation in that community is so massive—before the Camp Fire, there were some 500 people living there; now locals count about 30.

“We basically have a clean slate, although there’s a lot of work to be done out here,” offered Eric Josephson, of the Konkow Maidu Cultural Preservation Association.

“Concow is part of what makes Paradise burn,” added Zeke Lunder, owner of wildfire consulting firm Deer Creek Resources, based in Chico. A pyrogeographer, he specializes in mapping and analyzing wildfires.

‘It’s burned here forever’ “Concow has burned the entire existence of my tribe,” Josephson told the group. “When Concow burned in history, two little boys went down into the sweat house and threw some pitch pine onto the fire.

And it leaped up … and from there, it spread everywhere, killing all the Konkow but two.

“So, how’d we survive? Most of ’em didn’t! All but two died one time—at least, that’s the story from my tribe.”

But until 2000, the community had lived peacefully without burning for decades. On Sept. 19 of that year, a resident hit a rock in a crawler tractor and a spark set the dry grass ablaze, according to a Cal Fire report on the incident, dubbed the Concow Fire. That blaze destroyed 14 homes and spread over 1,845 acres. One woman refused to leave her dogs inside her house and died.

Eight years later, the Butte Lightning Complex fires—57 of them—were much more destructive. Sparked by lightning storms, they roared through the region, covering nearly 60,000 acres and destroying 212 residences, 50 of them in Concow, where again one civilian was killed. Dry weather and a series of lightning events across Northern California that summer were deemed responsible for a total of 2,000 fires spanning 1.2 million acres.

“In California’s modern fire suppression era, this many fires starting early in

the season, and burning simultaneously over such a long a period of time is unprecedented,” a Cal Fire summary reads.

In both 2000 and 2008, incident summaries indicated that while the vegetation provided much of the fuel, homes and other buildings also contributed. As the frequency of fires in the WUI has increased, the need to enforce defensible space around structures has grown as well.

“It’s burned here forever,” Josephson reiterated. “People should know that and build accordingly.”

His wife, Kate Hedges, suggested looking at alternatives to wooden frames and even considering building semi-subterranean homes in the hopes that “the fire will just roll right over the tops.” Sticking with the old ways won’t work, she said, because that doesn’t take modern technologies or issues into account.

“We’ve gotta talk about climate change,” she said frankly. “We have to adapt or leave.”

Others echoed her.

“We had a fire in 2000, we had a fire in 2008 …. We have a lot of fire [here],” said Tim Snellings, director of development services for the county. “People and fire are not a good match. We have a planning discussion ahead of us ....

It’s not just a reforestation, growthstabilization process—we have a discussion about repopulation ahead of us. We need to have a serious conversation about that.”

Pete Moak, a Concow resident who, with the help of his family,

successfully defended his property, along with the neighboring Cal Fire station, agreed. More than once, officials referred to Moak not as a landowner but as a “land manager.”

So, beyond planning the community—including where people should and shouldn’t live—with the understanding that fire will inevitably return, it’s incumbent upon residents to work together to ensure the next fire is less ferocious and deadly.

“You need to be independent up here, to take care of yourself,” Moak said. “And that’s gotta be something—how do you tell people that they can’t take care of themselves? They retire somewhere, they come up into these beautiful areas. They want to enjoy the timber, the woods …. But in order to do that, you’ve got to be able to say to yourself, ‘Yes, I’m selfsufficient.’ A lot of ’em aren’t.

They don’t have a clue. When fire comes that close, it’s a scary situation. And we had people die that weren’t prepared.”

Managing the landscape After the fire rolled through in 2008, the U.S. Forest Service surveyed what was left on its parcels in the Concow basin, Ryan Bauer, a fire management specialist for the agency, told the group. They were standing in a rough circle on a patch of land along Concow Road overlooking the region’s reservoir of the same name. The landscape looked more like a moonscape, someone commented, to nods of agreement.

“The place we’re standing right now is national forest land. It was masticated after the 2008 fire,” Bauer said, referring to the mechanical process of chewing up brush to reduce fuels. “A 20-acre chunk of mastication in a sea of brush isn’t successful at doing anything. It didn’t perform. It burned how you expect a brush field to burn.”

In fact, on another USFS parcel, which is too steep to use masticating machinery, it burned exactly the same, he said. That’s because that process may cut down fuel—but it doesn’t remove it. Now, with an estimated 600,000 dead or dying trees in the Camp Fire burn zone, it’s imperative that those responsible for that land do something

“What we need to be thinking about when we think about fuels treatments is they need to be designed to put more fire on the landscape, to allow us to live with fire,” Bauer said. “Because we know it’s going to continue to happen.”

A century of aggressive firefighting has left the state of California with dense, and in many areas dying, forests. Bauer’s views on introducing fire to the landscape are shared by many across the state, as tactics have shifted in recent years toward accepting fire as a natural occurrence in nature rather than something to be suppressed. At the same time, people who have long fought against forest thinning are beginning to come to terms with the practice—for fire safety as well as wildlife and watershed protection.

ring across the Sierra Nevada region which demonstrates that a diverse group of stakeholders, agencies and individuals recognize that the forest is overgrown and in jeopardy of continued catastrophic wildfires,” DeAnda told the CN&R. Cal Fire Battalion Chief Gus Boston also understands the value of controlled burning, part of his agency’s strategy for combating wildfires. As head of the Butte Unit’s vegetation management program, however, he took it a step further.

He suggested forest thinning projects—like two in Magalia managed by the Fire Safe Council, which have been credited with slowing the Camp Fire’s spread.

“There was also work completed last year at the Pine Ridge School in Magalia, which was very helpful in firefighters’ ability to protect the school during [the] Camp Fire,” DeAnda told the CN&R. Boston also emphasized bringing in plant species that will protect the landscape versus allowing whatever is now growing—or might sprout naturally—to flourish.

“There was standing timber here that survived the 2008 impact—that

no longer exists,” Boston said.

“Now you can see, overall, the landscape has completely changed.

There are some places that had a timber fuel component, and that’s now gone. What’s going to come in behind it? That’s what we’re concerned about.”

To avoid allowing the accumulation of dead trees and brush— perfect fuel for a fire—as was the case pre-Camp Fire, everyone agreed, there must be a combination of either mechanical mastication or livestock and prescribed burns.

Moak, whose house the group visited as a prime example of how to survive a blaze, uses goats and fire to keep his property clear.

“Possibly we haven’t had enough fire [in recent years],” he said.

“Because in the old days, they did burn it. Intentionally. Maybe we need to plant trees that can withstand that. And have slow-burning fall fires, with cattle grazing and livestock grazing ….”

Goats have become increasingly popular in culling tough brush like manzanita, which grows rapidly and burns well. Plus, Moak added, they stamp down the ground while they’re munching.

“You can see it, right down on Concow Lake, where they did have goats this last summer, they grazed all of Concow Road along [there],” he said. “It didn’t burn.”

What’s more, at least one person with property by the water was able to survive the fire by jumping into the reservoir. He wouldn’t have

been able to do that if the woods there had been overgrown, Jim Hautman, of the Fire Safe Council, told the CN&R. “If we look at the history of what we’ve accomplished with cutting brush, as far as affecting the size of the fires we’ve had, we haven’t been effective at all,” said pyrogeographer Lunder, in addressing the bigger picture of how fire moves through the landscape. “There are scant opportunities for a fuel break to be effective. And, when the wind’s blowing, there’s no opportunity for a fuel break to be effective.

“We can’t really vegetationmanage our way out of the problem.

Fire belongs here and we need to live with it,” he added. “We need to start with not making the problem worse when we come and clean up after it.”

Everyone agreed that no one approach will solve the problem of vegetative fuel in the Concow basin, particularly when considered within the bigger context of the vast forests that surround it. Going forward, DeAnda said the group had formed a Forest Health and Wildlands Task Force Committee, which plans to meet next on Wednesday, April 24 (see infobox).

“This is a very large project,” Boston said. “What we do in the next 36 months with that vision is going to be how this landscape unfolds in the future.”

All together now One of the biggest obstacles to putting together a large-scale effort such as improving the fire safety of Butte County’s communities and forests—as well as putting them in the larger context of California and even the nation—is the fact that no one entity oversees it all. In Concow alone, portions of the land are owned by private citizens like Moak; by Native American tribes like the Konkow Maidu; by governmental bodies like the U.S. Forest Service; by private corporations like Sierra Pacific Industries; and by special districts like Thermalito Water and Sewer District, which owns Concow Lake, and Paradise Recreation and Park District, which owns the nearby Crain Memorial Park.

So, how to get everyone on the same page, and who should be in charge? Those are additional questions stakeholders have been asking themselves—and having fits over.

Large agencies often have the ability to get grant and other funding to do projects, but without partner-

The newly formed Forest Health and Wildlands Task Force Committee will meet Wednesday (April 24) to create an action plan. Those interested in finding out more should email firesafe@buttefiresafe.net or call 877-0984 to be put on the email list for the group.

ips with nonprofits and other oots-on-the-ground types, welltentioned plans tend not to get mplemented, the group agreed.

“I’m sick of planning for the ke of planning,” Lunder said.

John Hunt, conservation manger for the Northern California egional Land Trust, echoed him.

“When you’re talking about liance upon agencies or, rather, e relinquishment of our obligaons or responsibilities, etc., [to gencies]—it creates a bottleeck,” he said. “Essentially, agenes ... are driven by these large ureaucracies with point people. nd our communities are loaded ith people who are badasses— ey’re knowledgeable, they’re xperienced—who are underutized and underintigrated.”

Any plan that has a chance of eaningful, timely follow-through has got to be led by people in e community who … have the xperience,” he continued. “And has to be enabled, it has to be mpowered. It can’t be just left up the agencies.”

Moak piped in: “We can have e knowledge on the ground, but e can’t do the paperwork,” he id, referring to processes like pplying for grants that take time nd expertise.

One tool that will soon be vailable to address those conraints comes from a watershed ant just obtained by the Butte ounty Resource Conservation istrict—a special district whose ission is to “protect, enhance, nd support Butte County natural sources and agriculture” by orking with public and private ndowners. The grant will, in art, help launch a local preribed burn association (PBA). he concept is fairly new—only umboldt County has an active BA, though Plumas recently unched one, too—and would ovide support for partnerships etween public and private enties, plus work- and equipmentare opportunities.

“So, someone like Pete Moak], who has a lifetime of nowledge—it will allow people ho aren’t Pete but want to be ke Pete get the backup support ey need,” explained Wolfy ougle, conservation project coornator for the district. “It’s not ir to just expect normal people

to volunteer forever. There needs to be ... some framework for people to fall back on, a place to park the trailer with the gear in it.”

Legislation is being crafted to help individuals become certified in prescribed burns, Lunder added, because the idea of having private citizens perform risky maneuvers is a scary prospect if they’re not fully confident and trained in what they’re doing. The grant, Rougle said, hopefully will get the ball rolling.

DeAnda, of the Fire Safe Council, also has an idea she hopes to implement sooner than later. It requires participation from public- and private-sector stakeholders and would empower them all.

“I feel like the next big thing that needs to happen is to have a collaborative map that everybody can be working off of,” she said, speaking specifically in regard to Concow. “It would show, at parcel-level, where the burn severity was the highest, where we’re anticipating the most brush regrowth, where we would want to replant oak versus conifers, where we would need strategic fuel breaks, where we want to have cultural information—just the go-to vision going out 10 years in the future.

It would encompass “the bulk of the WUI,” she continued, “everything we see here where homes used to be that’s going to be influenced by fire.”

The county should look at zoning to reduce population density—which could save lives while reducing fuel on the landscape—and also consider mandates regarding defensible space, some suggested. Fines for noncompliance, and even a lien process, could improve the entire region’s ability to avoid future catastrophic blazes.

In looking at the bigger picture of how the USFS and other agencies can learn from the fires in Concow, Bauer summed it up: “We’re going to have to accept that we’re going to have large, long-duration wildfire events in there that are actually going to ultimately benefit the landscape.

Because otherwise we’re setting up a situation where we’re keeping fire out of there for 50 years and then the big one comes rolling down the canyon.” Ω

Wide open spaces Paradise parks leader sees opportunity to increase fire safety while offering more outdoor activities

A

round 10:45 a.m. on the morning of Nov. 8, 2018, as vehicles fleeing the Camp Fire were caught in gridlock on the Skyway leading out of Paradise, about 75 people found themselves driving another direction, toward Bille Park. They took refuge from the flames, wind and flying embers under the shelter of the metal pavilion until Cal Fire crews came in with tractors to clear the roads and allow them safe passage.

“Their best chance wasn’t trying to make it out at that point, so they went back, into the park,” said Dan Efseaff, director of the Paradise Recreation and Park District (PRPD). “Here’s a park we managed as a recreation resource—and it saved lives.”

Bille wasn’t the only one, either. In Concow, fire personnel ushered people to the open space at Crain Memorial Park, as it was safer than trying to escape through the flames.

Efseaff now looks at parks a little differently. With his background in restoration ecology, he appreciates the value of nature, as well as humans’ impact on it. He also sees the benefits people can gain from getting outside. Now he’s got some big ideas when it comes to increasing the number of parks and open spaces within PRPD’s jurisdiction with a dual purpose in mind: to increase the health and vibrancy of the area, and to create community defensible space in the event of a future fire.

To that end, he says he’s building partnerships with people and organizations such as the Paradise Irrigation District, Butte County Fire Safe Council and Bureau of Land Management.

Dan Efseaff, director of the Paradise Recreation and Park District, hopes to add acreage to create more parks that also can serve as community defensible space.

Still, there is a challenge inherent in the rebuilding process—as residents and businesses are clamoring to move back onto their properties, no one has yet presented a comprehensive goal for the community that doesn’t involve going back to what was there before.

“Paradise needs some leadership, to think radically in regard to planning,” Zeke Lunder, a wildfire expert and mapper based in Chico, told the CN&R. “Now is the time.

Consolidate parcels, create big parks. If we rebuild on the same footprint, we’re insane.”

That’s just what Efseaff has in mind.

Through a combination of easements, property purchases and land donations, he hopes to grow trail networks and bike paths, and to create spaces for additional recreational activities like rock climbing, kayaking and even zip-lining.

“We want to have programs that will take advantage of where we are in the landscape,” he said. “There’s so much therapeutic value in recreation—our community needs that.”

At the same time, introducing more open space within the communities PRPD covers—

“If we rebuild on the same footprint, we’re insane.”

which is nearly the entire Camp Fire burn area, Efseaff noted—will serve as defensible space. And paths and trails can offer emergency vehicles access to otherwise hard-toreach areas.

So far, Efseaff said, people have been receptive to discussing out-of-the-box ideas. “There’s a really positive collegial atmosphere,” he said. “Egos are gone.”

Working together is the key to reimagining life in such a fire-prone region. It’s no longer acceptable to stay isolated.

“In our area, property rights are very important,” Efseaff said. “But this episode, this catastrophe, opened some eyes. What happens on your neighbor’s property could have a huge impact on yours. Pre-fire, people in Paradise would say, ‘Concow is across the canyon—it doesn’t have an impact on me.’

But we’re much more connected than we thought before the fire. We need all the partners on board to tackle these tasks that seem insurmountable right now.”

Efseaff is also cognizant that the direction Paradise—and the rest of the Camp Fire zone—takes will inform communities across the state and beyond.

“I’m excited about this,” he said. “A lot of the solutions that happen in Paradise will have huge implications for our future.

Paradise [will be] our model, an outdoor lab for the rest of California.”

of the Valley Fever festival), in support of the band’s new six-song EP, Into the Iris, which was recorded in LA at the home studio of psych-rocker extraordinaire Ty Segall.

The band members are ruthlessly efficient with their studio time, Ivy said.

Rather than recording in separate booths and nitpicking details, they get together as a group and just rock out, rarely taking more than a couple of days to track an album’s worth of material.

“We work really efficiently because we try to have the songs as tight as we can before we go into the studio,” Ivy said. “We set up the mics in a room and just play through them all. Sometimes I’ll do guitar overdubs, and Tim will maybe track a second bass overdub, but we don’t want to go too crazy because we want to present what we are without extra bells and whistles.

“I think the best thing you can do, when you’re recording your project, is to document how it sounds live.”

That said, the band allowed Segall to work his magic in key moments, like during the intro of the EP’s first single, “Shouting at the Wall,” which features a warped version of a guitar lick that reappears in the bridge. For the effect, Ivy and Segall collaborated on some “tapemanipulation stuff to make that section as weird-sounding as possible, speed-

ing it up and slowing it down, adding some extras,” Ivy said. And that’s just one example; sonic freakouts abound throughout the EP, breaking up otherwise straightforward scuzzy pop songs.

“We like to make it so our songs aren’t so stock,” he said. “We enjoy tossing in noisy parts, but there’s a spectrum for us. There’s the noisy, weird end of the spectrum and the pop end of the spectrum. You can get too far out, but keeping something memorable and hooky in the songs is also important.”

Working within those parameters, Flat Worms is able to create songs spontaneously from jamming during practice sessions. Though Ivy has resisted jam-based songwriting in his previous bands, something clicks when he’s making noise with Hellman and Sullivan.

Without much verbal communication, their parts just fall into place.

“When we’re playing together, it just works,” Ivy said. “We’ll be messing around with something and it it will become one of our favorite songs on the new record. You never know, when you start a project, the chemistry that you’ll have with each other. I think we’re lucky that we all sort of fit, and I love the three-piece dynamic—it’s so lean Ω and streamlined.”

858-6100 mynspr.org “We were parsing out information as quickly as we were able to confirm it.”

As the National Public Radio affiliate for 13 counties—from Sutter to the Oregon border, and from Trinity to the Nevada state line—NSPR is part of a daily ritual for some 40,000 listeners, and a trusted source for news every morning (on Morning Edition) and evening (All Things Considered).

Station call signs—KCHO 91.7 FM in Chico and KFPR 88.9 FM Redding—as well as the familiar names and voices of the program hosts have become ingrained in lis-

teners’ consciousness.

This week marks 50 years that NSPR has been on the air, and its place in the community today is as a cultural and informational cornerstone. The station imports some of the finest radio programming into our little corner of the world—from the NPR slate to This American Life, Radiolab and The Moth Radio Hour. Plus, the station’s staff and stable of freelance producers and volunteer hosts fill out the schedule with shows that have become institutions in their own right: Mike Fishkin’s daily explorations of the world of classical music on Afternoon Classics; Dave Schlom’s science/environment/astronomy program, Blue Dot; and Nancy Weigman’s long-running author spotlight, Nancy’s Bookshelf, to name a few.

On April 22, 1969, however, the station was simply KCHO, a radio training ground for Chico State communications students that debuted with a mere 10-watt signal emanating in a 14-mile radius from Ayres Hall. In 1975, the station moved to the basement of Meriam Library, and it wasn’t until 1982 that it started broadcasting NPR content. After federal regulators sided with KCHO over Jefferson Public Radio for the rights to broadcast in Shasta and the surrounding counties, a transmitter was installed on the Shasta Bally peak, and Redding’s KFPR went live in November 1993, joining sister station KCHO under

the NSPR banner.

A decade later, in 2004, the station moved into its current downtown location and new digitally upgraded digs with professional production studios and the promise of more locally produced shows.

That’s still a mission, Wilke said, though he acknowledges the staff (six full-time; five part-time) is stretched thin.

“I want to reinforce local programming, especially the local news,” he said. “The region deserves longer, more, and in-depth news.

In the wake of the Camp Fire, NSPR was able to add After Paradise to its rotation. Created with visiting journalist Tess Vigeland, a veteran public-radio reporter/producer (All Things Considered, Marketplace), the show was initially a daily program focused on recovery efforts. After Vigeland left two and a half weeks in, After Paradise morphed into a weekly series produced by News Director Sarah Bohannon with reporter Marc Albert.

This week, the station is hosting a 50th birthday party in the KCHO parking lot. Wilke says the event is an opportunity for NSPR to show its appreciation for the supporters who keep the station going (to the tune of roughly $500,000 in pledges a year), and for the community to “meet the people who you listen to.” Ω

An impressive period piece from lawmen’s point of view

T

he Highwaymen, now streaming on Netflix, is centered on the tale of Bonnie and Clyde, the much storied outlaws of the 1930s and the Great Depression, but it tells that story from the point of view of two former Texas Rangers who were assigned to track down by Juan-Carlos the famously elusive couple and Selznick bring their criminal escapades to a full, dead stop.

The two aging ex-Rangers, Frank Hamer and Maney Gault, are ably played here by Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson, The Highwaymen Starring Kevin respectively, and the story of their Costner and Woody pursuit of the outlaw pair runs parHarrelson. Directed allel to events portrayed in director

by John lee Hancock. Arthur Penn’s iconic 1967 Bonnie Netflix. rated r. and Clyde with Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty in the title roles.

Here, until the final showdown, Bonnie and Clyde are seen only in fleeting glimpses, if at all, while Hamer and Gault frequently share the foreground with an intriguing array of historical figures who played important roles in the wide-ranging pursuit.

As written by John Fusco and directed by John Lee Hancock, The Highwaymen functions as a kind of flip-side counterpart to Penn’s wild humored outlaw ballad. But it’s also a richly textured and unexpectedly haunting film that stands quite impressively on its own. It lingers in the memory as a kind of modernday western, as an astutely understated period piece, as a subtly convoluted crime story, as a stingingly ironic hero tale, and more.

There’s a deep bond of hard-earned friendship between Hamer and Gault, but they’re aging ex-

4

lawmen leading very separate lives when the state of Texas brings them back together as the two old-school “man-killers” needed to catch Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. Federal and state lawmen write them off as “old cowboys” and there is a streak of dark comedy running through several episodes in which the ex-Rangers’ tracking methods clash with the modern investigative practices of FBI agents and state lawmen.

The film celebrates the two men’s friendship in mostly understated ways, but gradually also brings out an abiding sense that the bond between them is something like the tragic brotherhood of deeply haunted warriors. A signal event in both men’s pasts as Texas Rangers involves the massacre of 54 Mexican “bandits,” and both men (but especially Hamer) are ferociously dedicated to their jobs as lawmen, but neither has any illusions about any glory that might override the guilt that goes with the killing.

A major motif in Fusco’s screenplay sets up ironic parallels between the outlaw couple and the two aging ex-Rangers: Both are traveling long distances in fast cars with a load of firearms in the back seat; Hamer and Gault have to run through a police roadblock to continue their pursuit of a gang notorious for crashing through roadblocks; Hamer has a conversation with Clyde’s father that seems to put them both outside the law in the usual senses of the term.

Kathy Bates does strong work as Miriam “Ma” Ferguson, the boldly proactive governor of Texas.

William Sadler is very good as Clyde’s sorrowful father. Josh Caras is very good as the ill-fated Wade McNabb, a furloughed prisoner whose death aggravates Gault’s sense of guilt. And Kim Dickens dazzles early on as Hamer’s well-to-do wife, Gladys. Ω

Captain Marvel

Despite the fact that she’s playing a superhero who has the power to shoot electrical bursts from her hands, Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel suffers from a disappointing lack of energy. Larson’s turn as the title character, aka Carol Danvers (aka Vers), is plagued by lethargy and bizarre line deliveries, and she gives off a detached vibe that she doesn’t want to be in the movie. Had the film around her been really good, the lead’s bored disposition might’ve been forgiven, but this cosmic superhero origin story and intergalactic war movie is also riddled with some haphazard storytelling and awful special effects. Cinemark 14. Rated PG-13 —B.G.

Five Feet Apart

Film adaptation of Rachel Lippincott’s young-adult novel of the same name about two teens whose newfound love for one another is complicated by the fact that their respective life-threatening illnesses keep them from coming into physical contact.

Cinemark 14. Rated PG-13.

A young girl in a 1980s flashback drifts away from her father at an amusement park on the Santa Cruz pier and finds herself in a darkened and frightening hall of mirrors. Things then jump to the present day, where Adelaide and Gabe (Lupita Nyong’o and Winston Duke) are taking their children, Zora and Jason, to the beach. It’s the same beach we saw in the flashback, and we find out that Adelaide was that young girl. She’s not happy about revisiting the place. The family excursion quickly becomes the worst vacation ever, as another family shows up at night. A quick examination of the intruders reveals what the commercials for this movie have already told you: The family outside is a darker mirror image of the stunned family inside the house. They aren’t coming over to borrow the lawn mower. They intend to kill. Writer-director Jordan Peele follows up the success of Get Out with another mind bender, one that is also an efficient, bareknuckled horror-thriller, plus a comedy and a brutal social satire. It’s the whole package. Cinemark 14. Rated R —B.G.

Size matters Trend of small fillets threatens fish population

Bcatching, selling and eating fish.

For certain snappers, in fact, a market preference igger isn’t necessarily better when it comes to

for plate-size whole fillets is driving fishermen to target smaller fish. For some wild fish populations, this is a recipe for collapse.

“The preferred size of a fillet in the U.S. market corresponds to juvenile fish that haven’t had a chance to reproduce,” said conservation biologist Peter Mous, director of The Nature Conservancy’s Indonesia Fisheries Conservation Program. “A lot of species here are heavily overfished, and this demand for small fillets is making things by Alastair worse.”

Bland Of particular concern for conservationists are such species as Malabar snapper. Mous said this fish becomes sexually mature at 4 pounds and can grow as large as 29 pounds—but global restaurant and retail markets prefer to buy it at 2 pounds and as small as 1 pound.

“For a large species like giant ruby snapper, the differences are even more extreme,” Mous wrote in an email. “The trade buys them at 1 pound, but they only become adults at nine pounds, while [they] can grow to 73 pounds.”

The reproductive patterns and growth rates of these fish vary widely, but with virtually all species, the market prefers what are essentially baby fish. He says many snapper species already have been depleted to an estimated 10 percent of their unfished biomass—a term that refers to a population’s total mass, rather than the number of individuals.

Mous’ organization is trying to change the industry by encouraging seafood buyers and exporters to commit to purchasing only fish greater than a certain minimum size. This would motivate fishermen to catch bigger snappers and leave the juveniles in the water, allowing the fish to eventually reproduce and help replenish their population.

The campaign is gaining some traction. Norpac Fisheries Export, which sells to Safeway, Costco and other companies, signed on to the campaign in January, and a few weeks later, Netuno USA, the largest importer of frozen snapper in the U.S., followed suit.

Rachel Winters, associate director of media relations for The Nature Conservancy, said eight more distributors have since announced their commitment to the fishery plan, including five that made the pledge March 17, in Boston, Mass., on the first day of Seafood Expo North America.

The demand for smaller fish seems to be coming mainly from the American retail and restaurant market, where many chefs and large-scale caterers tend to prefer not only whole intact fillets, but fillets that, on their own, perfectly constitute a single portion.

“Chefs prefer fish where the fillet size is ready to serve,” explained Christian Monchâtre, a Paris-born chef who has worked for more than 20 years at restaurants in Europe, Mexico and California. “It’s cost-effective—you don’t have extra scraps where you have to develop other recipes in order to use them.”

Monchâtre said chefs who wind up with larger-thanoptimal fillets “lose money with every serving.”

While whole fillets are a visually appealing and very popular serving style, so is a whole fish, said Andre Brugger, the sustainability compliance and quality assurance manager at Netuno USA. “A lot of places serve a whole snapper, and to fit it on the plate and for it to serve two people, it can’t be a huge fish,” Brugger said. He added that the demand for small and uniform fish fillets is strongest in situations in which a chef or restaurant is serving large numbers of people, as on cruise lines or in hotel restaurants.

Thomas Kraft, founder of Norpac Fisheries Export, says “standardization makes industries more costeffective.” But in the case of wild fish, breaking away from industry norms could be critical for sustaining the Indonesian snapper industry. Kraft expects that chefs, acting as role models and even celebrities, will be pivotal in changing the market and, eventually, motivating fishermen to try to catch more mature snappers.

“This needs to come down from the top,” he said.

Brugger sees the same path forward. Eventually, a shift in demand from chefs and retailers will reach the water level, and fishermen, he says, will respond.

“They’ll go somewhere else to catch bigger fish,” he said. Ω

ARTS DEVO

by JASON CASSIDY • jasonc@newsreview.com

A BURNING HOLE IN THE CENTER OF EVERYTHING Right in the center of the French region of Île-de-France (“Island of France”) is the city of Paris.

And right in the center of Paris is the Île de la Cité (“Island of the City”).

The centerpiece of that island in the middle of the river Seine is Notre Dame Cathedral. It sits in the spot where the city was born and is the central point from which all distances from Paris are measured.

Right there, during a vacation several years ago, while Mrs. DEVO was inside the cathedral attending mass, Arts DEVO posted up at an outdoor table along the large public square out front and drank in the scene. For a good hour, I was completely alone. The square was quiet and all the chairs on every patio nearby were empty.

It was very easy in that moment, as I studied the features of this weird, old, Gothic wonder—its two massive bell towers out front, the impressive stained-glass rose window above, and the row of gargoyle-shaped rain spouts lining the side—to feel a strong connection to history while I nursed my espresso. It’s a feeling I get whenever I’m around anything that has a history—whether it’s as young as Bidwell Mansion or as old as Via Sacra, Ancient Rome’s main street.

Of course, some locations contain more juice than others, and Paris’ Notre Dame—like many Catholic churches around the world—is bursting with the art and the blood of history. Other than a brief change of hands during the French Revolution (to the Cult of Reason and then the Cult of the Supreme Being!), Notre Dame has belonged to the Catholic Church since ground was broken on the site in 1163. (Technically, France owns the place and lets the church run it.)

But its importance isn’t merely a Catholic or even a Christian thing.

Sanctuary?

Many Parisians never set foot in Notre Dame or any church. The building itself, however, is a monument to the city’s and the world’s history over the last eight centuries—the violence, oppression and world wars, as well as the resilience, beauty and imagination of humanity. Millions of tourists and modern Parisians still revolve around this massive, centuries-oldyet-still-breathing piece of history.

Bearing witness to Notre Dame Cathedral on that day was one of the most powerful art experiences I’ve ever had, one that was nearly matched in intensity by my visceral reaction to the images of flames shooting out of the iconic structure that appeared on my Facebook feed on Monday (April 15).

I’m not a Catholic or even a Christian (or anything really), but the news that most of the art and sacred artifacts (including Jesus’ crown of thorns! Who knew?) made it out safely and the damage to the cathedral—the most monumental work of art of them all—wasn’t complete had me praising Jah or Jehovah or Jeebus, or whomever.

Notre Dame will be repaired and rebuilt, just as it has been many times during its history. And no matter what form it takes, life around it will continue—the good and the bad—and the art will live on.

APRIL 18, 2019

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY For the week oF April 18, 2019 ARIES (March 21-April 19): French

writer Simone de Beauvoir sent a letter to her lover, Aries author Nelson Algren.

She wrote, “I like so much the way you are so greedy about life and yet so quiet, your eager greediness and your patience, and your way of not asking much of life and yet taking much because you are so human and alive that you find much in everything.” I’d love to see you embody that state in the coming weeks. In my astrological opinion, you have a mandate to be both utterly relaxed and totally thrilled; both satisfied with what life brings you and skillfully avid to extract the most out of it; both at peace with what you already have and primed to grab for much more.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The Beat

Generation of American poets arose in the late 1940s as a rebellion against materialistic mainstream culture and academic poetry. It embraced sexual liberation, Eastern spirituality, ecological awareness, political activism and psychedelic drugs. One of its members, Jack Kerouac, tweaked and ennobled the word “beat” to serve as the code name for their movement. In its old colloquial usage, “beat” meant tired or exhausted. But Kerouac re-consecrated it to mean “upbeat” and “beatific,” borrowing from the Italian word beato, translated as “beatific.” I bring this to your attention because you’re on the verge of a similar transition: from the old meaning to the new.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Scattered

through the ordinary world, there are books and artifacts and perhaps people who are like doorways into impossible realms, of impossible and contradictory truth.” Argentinian author Jorge Luis Borges said that, and now I’m passing it on to you—just in time for your entrance into a phase when such doorways will be far more available than usual. I hope you will use Borges’ counsel as a reminder to be alert for everyday situations and normal people that could lead you to intriguing experiences and extraordinary revelations and life-changing blessings.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The

Free Will Astrology Committee to Boldly Promote Cancerians Success is glad to see that you’re not politely waiting for opportunities to come to you. Rather, you’re tracking them down and proactively wrangling them into a form that’s workable for your needs. You seem to have realized that what you had assumed was your fair share isn’t actually fair; that you want and deserve more. Although you’re not being mean and manipulative, neither are you being overly nice and amenable; you’re pushing harder to do things your way. I approve! And I endorse your efforts to take it even further.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Many experts who

have studied the art and science of running fast believe that it’s best if a runner’s legs are symmetrical and identical in their mechanics. But that theory is not supported by the success of Leo champion sprinter Usain Bolt. Because he has suffered from scoliosis, his left leg is a half-inch longer than his right. With each stride, his left leg stays on the track longer than his right, and his right hits the track with more force. Some scientists speculate that this unevenness not only doesn’t slow him down, but may in fact enhance his speed. In accordance with current astrological variables, I suspect you will be able to thrive on your asymmetry in the coming weeks, just as Bolt does.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo

adventurer Jason Lewis traveled around the world using transportation powered solely by his own body. He walked, bicycled, skated, rowed, pedaled and swam more than 46,000 miles. I propose that we make him your role model for the next four weeks. You’re primed to accomplish gradual breakthroughs through the use of simple, persistent, incremental actions. Harnessing the power of your physical vitality will be an important factor in your success.

by rob brezsny LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Curcumin is

a chemical found in the plant turmeric.

When ingested by humans, it may diminish inflammation, lower the risk of diabetes, support cardiovascular health and treat digestive disorders. But there’s a problem: The body is inefficient in absorbing and using curcumin—unless it’s ingested along with piperine, a chemical in black pepper.

Then it’s far more available. What would be the metaphorical equivalent to curcumin in your life? An influence that could be good for you, but that would be even better if you synergized it with a certain additional influence? And what would be the metaphorical equivalent of that additional influence? Now is a good time to investigate these questions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “I have

the usual capacity for wanting what may not even exist,” wrote poet Galway Kinnell. How about you? Do you, too, have an uncanny ability to long for hypothetical, invisible, mythical and illusory things? If so, I will ask you to downplay that amazing power of yours for a while. It’s crucial for your future development that you focus on yearning for actual experiences, real people and substantive possibilities. Please understand: I’m not suggesting you’re bad or wrong for having those seemingly impossible desires. I’m simply saying that for now you will thrive on being attracted to things that are genuinely available.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

“Sometimes I have kept my feelings to myself, because I could find no language to describe them in,” wrote Sagittarian novelist Jane Austen. I’m guessing you’ve had that experience—maybe more than usual, of late. But I suspect you’ll soon be finding ways to express those embryonic feelings. Congrats in advance! You’ll discover secrets you’ve been concealing from yourself. You’ll receive missing information whose absence has made it hard to understand the whole story. Your unconscious mind will reveal the rest of what it has thus far merely been hinting at.

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

over the world, rivers and lakes are drying up. Droughts are becoming more common and prolonged. Why? Mostly because of climate change. The good news is that lots of people are responding to the crisis with alacrity. Among them is an engineer in India named Ramveer Tanwar. Since 2014, he has organized efforts leading to the rejuvenation of 12 dead lakes and ponds. I propose we make him your role model for the coming weeks. I hope he will inspire you to engage in idealistic pursuits that benefit other people. And I hope you’ll be motivated to foster fluidity and flow and wetness everywhere you go. The astrological time is ripe for such activities.

“Have you noticed the crazy traffic lately?” asked my Realtor buddy, Cartlin. “I showed property yesterday and got tied up in traffic jams in Chico and Oroville and on the freeway in between.

The whole place has gone nuts!”

“True!” said Janie, another Realtor buddy. “It’s not like it used to be.”

“Yeah,” said Cartlin. “All these people driving around. And have you ever seen crazier drivers?”

“I’ve seen you,” said Janie. “That’s crazy enough for me. And could you please slow down? That light turned red before you got to the intersection. I’m in no hurry to get back to the office, and I don’t like the idea of my last meal being that last hot dog.”

“Hey,” said Cartlin, “I don’t like wasting time getting around. These days, it takes forever getting anywhere. And I’m driving more than ever. I’m sick of it!”

“Well,” said Janie, “I know the reason you’re driving more. Do you?”

Cartlin glanced at her suspiciously. This might be another set up which Janie always begins as a question and answer trap.

“I’m driving more,” he said, “because my buyers are wanting to see property all over the place. Oroville, Magalia, Gridley.”

“And that’s because?” she questioned.

“Because Chico has nothing to look at. Inventory is lower than ever before. And prices have jumped. Obviously.” He rolled his eyes. “Is that news to you, oh wise one?”

“Why is inventory low and prices so high?” she pressed. “And slow down, please.”

“You know as well as I do. Everything changed after the Paradise fire.”

“Aha!” said Janie, “So you’re saying that because of the Paradise fire, you are taking into consideration the needs of your buyers who are having a hard time?”

“Obviously,” said Cartlin.

“And your buyers are fire victims from Paradise?”

“Of course,” said Cartlin.

“Then why can’t you take into consideration the needs of all these fire victims driving around who are having a hard time with traffic just like you are?” said Janie.

“Oh, I see,” said Cartlin, “so I should change the way I’ve been driving my whole life?”

“Everything changed after the fire,” said Janie. “Slow down.”
