The state of California recently granted a harm

DISTRICT 1 (OROVILLE AREA)

Three head-to-head contests A Q&A with the folks seeking a Board of Supervisors seat

Bill Connelly

The Greenline was meant to be a demarcation to protect ag from development. It will continually be challenged as there is no perfect fix when great soil is being built over. So, in most cases, it will stay in place with my support. Homelessness is on the rise for many reasons, from losing a job to self-induced through drug use. The best use of funding would be to get the mentally ill off the street and into supervision. This may be impossible until the courts understand our personal and public safety is best served by forcing the mentally ill to take prescribed drugs and rehabilitate. Laura’s Law is a start. Veterans with issues should be given priority.

The Greenline is fine as it is. Boundaries for development are necessary. Growing food needs to be considered just as important as housing, and there are lots of other areas in Butte County that aren’t as agriculturally rich. Tiny houses seem to be the homelessness panacea of the past few years. Whenever the homeless question pops up, just say the magic words and people think that the candidate has a solid plan. Tiny houses are good and all, but they aren’t addressing the issues that cause homelessness. We need longterm behavioral health facilities, low-cost/affordable housing and living-wage jobs that provide health care in this county.

DISTRICT 4 (SOUTH BUTTE COUNTY)

1. Do you view the Greenline as a firm demarcation or flexible boundary—and why? 2. According to the biennial point-in-time survey, homelessness countywide has increased 16 percent. What should the county do to better address this issue? 3. In terms of policy, what should the Board of Supervisors do to address climate change? 4. Given what happened during the Camp Fire, should the county allow further development in Butte County’s eastern foothills where open space currently exists? If not, why? If so, what kind of development? 5. In terms of rebuilding on the Ridge, given the lack of evacuation routes, should the county incentivize a smaller population? If so, how could this be accomplished? If not, why? 6. In the wake of the fire, California’s auditor criticized Butte County (and other counties) for inadequate disaster planning and preparedness. Considering that the potential for disaster on the Ridge had long been feared (see the 1993 CN&R cover story “Inferno in Paradise,” reprinted on Jan. 10, 2019), what must be accomplished to avoid a similar scenario in the future? 7. There is a proposal for water conveyance between Paradise Irrigation District and Cal Water Co. in Chico. The idea is that PID could sell surface water to Cal Water, and thus help sustain valley groundwater supplies. Do you support such a plan? Why or why not? 8. The state of California recently granted a harm reduction group the authority to operate a needleaccess program in Chico. Among other things, the group gives away and collects needles and sharps containers. Butte County’s Department of Public Health has come out in support of the program and presented the science to back up that stance. Do you support or oppose such programs—and why? Go to newsreview.com/chico for additional questions and answers.

Sue Hilderbrand

The Greenline is and should remain a firm demarcation between development and farmlands. The development that is coming to Butte County must be well-planned so it doesn’t result in sprawl, costing the taxpayers more money to provide the services for these developments. There are many places in the county that would be more appropriate areas for development than our precious ag lands. We must protect the county’s small town feel and beautiful ag land. The cities generally have the problem of homelessness, but the county provides mental health services, drug/alcohol addiction services, and low-income housing options. These services are overwhelmed since the Camp Fire. The county must collaborate more effectively with cities and neighboring counties to create more low-barrier shelters, and ultimately a regional mental health facility for the severely mentally ill. Collaboration creates opportunities and lightens the burden on each local government, while offering better solutions and funding.

The Greenline is a firm demarcation. We must protect our agricultural lands and promote smart growth. I am honored to be endorsed by retired county Supervisor Jane Dolan, the biggest champion of the Greenline. I believe the county should work more collaboratively with our cities in order to address the increase in homelessness. We need to ensure that state and federal dollars coming into the county are being appropriately allocated to housing and service programs that produce results.

DISTRICT 5 (PARADISE RIDGE)

Henry Schleiger

Where exactly the limit lies is flexible, but we need to have a long-term plan for any further development into unincorporated land. Using the incentive of developing large lot, high-end housing in the periphery—to leverage partnerships to help create urban renewal and low/middle income appropriate housing, within the city limits—has the potential to shape a future county that fills the needs of a growing economy, and is affordable for its workers. It’s time to grow. This county cannot afford to drag its feet into the future any longer. But we must grow smart, and that can be done with a general plan that prioritizes urban growth, transportation efficiency, and housing for students, workers and those trying to get a fresh start. The other key piece is mental health. We have to figure out a way to create options to meet the diverse needs on the streets.

I consider the Greenline a firm boundary. We should not build on prime ag lands. I have also supported the 300-foot setback of new developments to protect ag operations. Protecting ag land, farming and ranching has been a priority of mine and is why I am endorsed by the Butte County Farm Bureau and Butte County Cattlemen’s Association. I support building accessory dwelling units (granny units), which would facilitate more affordable and smaller housing options. Plans could be preapproved, especially those able to use slab construction. New home construction should encourage a separate rentable unit. For those homeless with severe addictions and challenging mental health issues, we need state hospitals built to rehabilitate or house them. Meth and heroin dealers should be held strictly accountable for causing the destruction of lives. Climate change generally isn’t in the supervisor’s purview. This is being addressed or a least reacted to on a state level. New construction is under new codes to slow climate change. Many codes are helping cut A/C costs. That’s good, but sometimes in frivolous ways. Example: putting tin foil on the bottom of roofing plywood will cut down cooling bills a tiny amount while reflecting heat through your roof, ruining the felt and shingles.

We need to follow in the footsteps of the counties that are successfully addressing climate change. One-hundred percent renewable electricity at all county facilities is an attainable goal. Santa Clara County is almost there and they’ve made $3 million in renewable energy credits while getting to that point.

While updating the county’s outdated general plan, we must incorporate strategies to address climate change. For example, housing development and community centers should include walkable, bikeable and public transportation options to reduce traffic and emissions, and incorporate energy efficiency into the planning such as solar and water-reducing landscapes. The county should also take advantage of all state and federal grant funding to upgrade equipment, including old heating systems, and install solar energy.

The Board of Supervisors must continue to support agriculture. Why? Because local agriculture helps sequester carbon and improve the overall air quality in the region. Research proves that Butte County agriculture has been affected by climate change, but also that it can be part of the solution.

Reducing sprawl and the total number of miles traveled will always be critical, even if we widely adopt vehicle energy alternatives to fossil fuels. To this end, we must densify our cities, reduce housing costs there, reduce commute miles, and of course encourage mass transit, and bicycles and other humanpowered alternatives. I’d also like to see Highway 99 replace stoplights with proper interchanges, from Neal Road all the way to Esplanade.

The county is updating the Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment Action Plan; we will need to create attainable action items addressing the assessment’s findings in areas such as temperature change and shifting precipitation patterns. Continue investing in a county Water Department, providing scientific research in how our aquifers need to be sustainably managed. Support the creation of a local power purchasing agency with green energy choice, so folks can directly choose how their electricity is generated.

The first issue with rebuilding in the foothills is property rights. Someone owns the land and will be allowed to rebuild to newer, more fire-resistant standards. In some places it may be very hard to provide second exits, and that should fall on personal responsibility; the acceptance of the risk. The greatest threat to homes is the lack of proper forest management practices, something that has gone on far too long on both private and public lands.

Given what happened during the Camp Fire, I believe that development is desperately needed! If by development you mean widening roads and clearing vegetation along escape routes. Or by development you mean making rebuilding possible for the fire survivors without them being nickled and dimed with inflated permit fees. Camping fees to live on their own land?! after an investor-owned utility company burned down their home?!

as far as rebuilding on the ridge, that is a risk to be taken on by the residents that choose to live there. butte County shouldn’t tell Paradise what to do. In the county areas the rebuilding will be to a higher fire standard. evacuation routes are necessary but not the only consideration of where to grow in the foothills. Stay-in-place fire protection is becoming more common and is proven adequate with proper preparation.

I’m not quite sure how a county would incentivize a smaller population. We have a moral obligation to ensure that there are adequate escape routes for the people who return and to the ones who are already there. any private development beyond that needs to coincide with escape route expansion and improvement.

The county must begin updating the general plan to avoid a repeat of the Camp Fire. Fire experts and climatologists must be included in the planning process in order to advise stakeholders about best practices and the best science, and incorporate the most recent building practices. Through the process of updating the general plan, we can decide what is the best direction to take to restore the ridge in a responsible way.

The short answer is: it depends. If you’re looking for a no-growth county supervisor, that’s not me. but that doesn’t mean I support irresponsible growth. I currently serve as the president of the Northern California regional Land Trust, where I have served on the board since 2008. Since then, the Land Trust has conserved 17 easements totaling about 19,005 acres of prime agricultural lands, rangelands, open spaces and wildlife habitat. The job of supervisor is to gather the best information and make decisions for what is good for the county. During a general planning process, fire and land-use experts should guide the rebuilding of the ridge. The area must be evaluated in terms of safety and carrying capacity. We must skillfully balance the desire for rebuilding quickly, and the need for rebuilding safely. remember: If this were easy, we would have done it already.

No, I do not think the county should incentivize a smaller population returning to the ridge. The county and the town are in the process of making the ridge more resilient. The state and federal governments must also do their part to reduce risk, which in turn will also aid with greater insurance access and affordability.

California’s auditor is a typical bureaucrat that ought to stay in their area of expertise. The same type of person that knows how to manage our forests into becoming a burn pile for the next highwind electric storm. So I don’t really care what they have to say.

Paradise Irrigation District is in a dire financial position after the Camp Fire. a study to see if they may stay in place and keep their water rights is just a study. I fully support the use of butte County water in butte County. Now if the delivered water is treated water, then PID just gained some customers. If that helps farmers, so be it; agriculture is the No. 1 industry in butte County.

We need a better alert system and improved escape routes. People need to be able to escape the next fire with their lives. That is our responsibility. If the county doesn’t have the necessary funding, then the board needs to bang on the governor’s and legislators’ doors until they fund a modern, cohesive, fire prevention/disaster plan. also, why is the company that caused all of this devastation still selling us our energy? I am all for this plan with the stipulation that we replace “Cal Water” with butte Municipal utility District. With a municipal utility district we will be able to ensure that the water needs of every butte County resident will be met at a fraction of the cost.

Needle exchanges sound good, but are not a good fit in our county. Nobody is collecting one needle for another, so they end up on the streets, in the parks and on school grounds. The innocent, the children, should be protected over those who choose to shoot up. In the end that is their choice; nobody quit but of their own free will.

as I said at the League of Women Voters forum, the ability to receive needles is state-mandated and I believe it should be up to each municipality, not the county, to decide how and where it is appropriate for needles to be distributed.

Planning, planning, planning. The entire region must be evaluated in terms of safety, particularly around escape routes. With 20 years of experience in longterm strategic planning and public policy, I know that the devil is always in the details. I also know that not including land-use planning experts, fire expertise, and public health experts in the process produces bad public policy. We must use the best research and hard sciences for a safer future. The most important question facing butte County is about water, so all decisions must be made with complete transparency. For this proposal, we need more information, including: 1) Who will pay for the proposed pipeline, and will costs fall to taxpayers? 2) What are the legal repercussions of this deal, and are PID’s water rights at risk of being forever lost? 3) Is there a connection between this proposal and the proposed Tuscan Water District?

We need better evacuation routes. We need better emergency technology. We need improved communication systems. We need a healthier forest. We need advanced warning systems. We need more resilient water infrastructure for fighting fires. We need homeowners to manage their property more responsibly. We need our loved ones to have a better emergency action plan. This project should be studied to figure out how much it would cost, how it could operate and how it could benefit the town, the residents of Chico, and the county’s groundwater basin. During this recovery period, I think it’s irresponsible not to at least look at potential solutions that could make our county more resilient. Good public policy is based on data, not ideology. Policy formation considers all available data about the problem and chooses the appropriate course of action. County and state health experts support this program to reduce disease. The real problem that needs to be addressed is lack of proper disposal of dirty needles. We should not “throw the baby out with the bathwater” and instead focus on keeping needles out of our community spaces.

I oppose free needle distribution programs. It was recently reported that officers with the Chico Police Department were called to a scene where they spent precious time collecting discarded needles. Our law enforcement officers are already stretched too thin. They shouldn’t be taken off patrol to collect dirty needles around town. I have yet to see how this program is benefiting butte County.

I’ve heard the idea of instituting a redline, because of the inherent fire danger in the foothills; I’m not opposed to that idea. Much of this area has been annexed already, and so it’s up to the city to decide how far to grow in that area. but they should be using the same incentivization plans I mentioned earlier (in No. 1) to achieve goals in their core when greenfield development is proposed. I’m not going to say that we need a smaller population, but we need to think more carefully about the way it’s distributed. I believe that the county should be buying lots in Magalia and Paradise, and using the opportunity created by having so many on the market, to undo some of the illegal/unwise creation of small lots that happened with the blind eye or rubber stamp of previous county government officials.

The 5th District already limits land subdivision in Magalia and butte Valley. County zoning limits other areas. I strongly supported the butte Creek Overlay, which does not permit clustered development. Clustering allows more houses when much of the land is unbuildable. However, I find it unsuitable when it would negatively impact existing evacuation routes. New developments and their homes designed and built for fire resistance and with sufficient evacuation routes should be considered and allowed. I don’t believe it necessary if evacuation routes have sufficient clearance from trees and bushes so vehicles escaping and first responders entering won’t be subjected to life-threatening flames and heat. a bottleneck was traffic signals at the valley floor, which will be fixed. However, an incentive to reduce buildable lots could be a building density bonus to developers who buy ridge lots and build in other areas or reduced fees to those merging lots. Not to mention “Time bomb,” april 12, 2018 (the publishing, and subsequent ignoring, of that story was one of my inspirations to run)! Structural changes like reducing sprawl into the wildland urban interface (WuI) will help in the long-term, but we also need to learn how to safely use prescribed fire in our neighborhoods, and to organize neighbors to prevent wildfire. We should also find a way to create value in the harvest of dangerous fuels, building the foothill economy. The biggest problem with the plan is the timeline; by the time water is flowing through a Skyway pipe, the population of Paradise will begin to demand most of the water again. I think they should figure out a way to transfer PID and county water down butte Creek and sell it to local ag users, in lieu of their pumping the aquifer. We must maintain public control! I respect the science and ethics behind harmreduction and housing-first policies generally. I believe that all of humanity (and especially governments) should operate within the confines of the Golden rule, in all matters, and that when you do, civilization is better for it. I understand that there is no “exchange requirement” at the needle program currently, but I do think they should somehow incentivize the return of used needles, to keep them off the street.

already homes built to current building codes have superior resistance to flying ember ignitions. I support banning flammable materials within the first 5 feet of a structure. Wood fences and flammable landscaping started many structure fires. The public will need to decide how serious we inspect and enforce defensible space. California needs to treat biomass energy as green energy, which would facilitate unmarketable tree and brush removal, permitting carbon sequestering versus uncontrolled wildfires’ massive CO 2 emissions. I support that the study be done and if feasible we build the project. PID won’t be able to use all of its water rights in the future due to increasing statemandated conservation measures. If we don’t use the water in county, unused water rights could be taken away by the state (given to others). It makes sense and is more cost effective to have a regional water treatment plant and use our water locally. Outside our county, data supports the opioid crisis increased injection drug use and science exists that communicable diseases, such as HIV and hepatitis C, increase with injection drug use. Locally it is too early to tell if needle access will result in fewer infections. This program needs to prove that it does not attract out-of-area drug users, actually reduces needle litter and crime, and reduces infections. If it doesn’t, I would not support it.

A painter’s legacy

Arts community shows up for Sal Casa memorial exhibit

When Sal Casa died, on Dec. 4, at the age of 91, Cameron Kelly knew right away that she had to do something to honor this iconic figure in Northern California art.

Kelly is director of the Chico Art Center, where Casa had taught drawing classes for many years, after retiring from teaching at Chico State. If any organization was going to celebrate his remarkable career, it had to be the CAC.

Short on both time and readily available works (Casa liked to sell his paintings as soon as he finished them), Kelly contacted people who knew Casa and his art well. One was Lorraine Slattery, who with her husband, Steve Johnson, had collected numerous Casa paintings over many years. Another was Gwen Curatilo, a fabled Chico singing teacher whose home showcases wall-to-wall works by local artists, including Casa. The CAC had previously mounted (in 2014) a chronological retrospective of Casa’s 75-year career, which began when he was a teenager growing up in New York City. The retrospective was “before my time,” Kelly said during a recent interview. She wanted to do something different.

Talking to these two collectors and several others, Kelly realized that Casa’s story wasn’t separate from his life in Chico. He sold mostly to local collectors who lived in the town he Review: Sal Casa: Through the eyes of Friends, Collectors and Students shows through March 1. Chico Art Center 450 Orange St., Ste. 6 895-8726 chicoartcenter.com by Robert Speer

loved, but Casa also was a nationally recognized master painter who won major awards in prestigious competitions and whose paintings have found permanent homes in galleries and museums across the country.

Kelly decided to invite a number of local collectors to lend their Casa paintings to the CAC and also to write something about the artist and what his friendship and artwork meant to them. These often touching portraits add a profoundly personal dimension to this exhibit.

So does the nicely written biography penned by his daughter, Kate Casa, and included in the exhibit. In it she traces his life, beginning with his birth in 1927, in Brooklyn, as the “beloved only child” of Italian immigrants and describing his early fascination with the treasures in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

It was clear early on that he was destined to become an artist. As Kate Casa writes, “To say he loved art would be to diminish art’s influence on the boy and later the man. Art was part of him, a way of being that informed everything he would become and every choice he would make.”

In 1957 Casa and his wife, Jane, longing for space and, as Casa put it,

“a place to spit,” moved out West to live on a farm in Capay, from whence they eventually moved to Orland and, in 1968, Chico, where he began teaching at Chico State.

This exhibit, titled Sal Casa: Through the Eyes of Friends, Collectors and Students, does a superb job of illustrating Casa’s eventful life and career. In addition to the paintings, collectors’ statements and Kate Casa’s highly readable biography of her father, it includes a 15-minute video interview done by local collector Reed Applegate, a recreation of part of Casa’s downtown studio, examples of works in progress, and much more.

A video of the opening reception, held last Saturday (Feb. 8), is in the works. More than 300 people listened to the collectors’ often emotional descriptions of what Casa’s friendship and his paintings meant to them and to the people of Chico.

As his daughter writes, “He leaves a community that he loved; a community that loves him.

“His extraordinary body of work lives on.” Ω

Into the woods

Few scares in latest Brothers Grimm adaptation

In Gretel & Hansel, director Osgood Perkins appears to be shooting for the deliberately paced, lushly photographed Gothic horror style of director Robert Eggers’ The Witch, but winds up creating a low-rate version of that 2015 masterpiece. His film looks OK, but the script (by Rob Hayes) provides few chills. It’s all atmosphere with little substance.

The familiar story takes place centuries ago. On the verge of starvation, 16-year-old Gretel (Sophia Lillis) and her 8-year-old brother, Hansel (Sammy Leakey), are kicked out of their home. They head into the forest, where the only source of food they find is hallucinogenic mushrooms (yes, they trip out), until they come upon a house inhabited by a strange old lady named Holda (Alice Krige).

Holda is all by herself without a market in sight, yet her table is full of freshly baked and roasted goodies. As the fairy tale goes, the hungry children settle in for some good country cooking. Little do they know, the obviously evil Holda (look at her, she’s definitely a witch) has nefarious plans that involve a different kind of meal.

As the kids mull about the house and stuff their faces, Gretel has “visions” that suggest she could have witchcraft in her blood. So, while Holda encourages Gretel’s budding witchiness, Hansel moves closer to the roasting oven. Will his sister get ahold of herself before Hansel gets dressed in parsley, sage, rosemary 2 Gretel & Hansel Starring Sophia Lillis, alice Krige and Sammy Leakey. Directed by Osgood Perkins. Cinemark 14, Feather river Cinemas. rated PG-13. by Bob Grimm bgrimm@ newsreview.com and thyme? Trust me, you’ll be so bored you won’t care.

You also won’t be scared. There’s the potential for frights in a foreboding shot of a witch standing in a pink-tinged forest, and one involving entrails that transform into baked goods, but that’s it. The film mostly revolves around the kids talking to each other about scary things, and walking around the forest and Holda’s house where things should get scary but don’t.

Lillis also starred in It (which was a hard-R, and frightening), and she is good here, even though her role is almost a complete copy of Anya Taylor-Joy’s Thomasin in The Witch. Krige has the makings of an evil witch, but she’s required to do little more than sit at a table and speak ominously.

As for taking a classic fairy tale and turning it into something more dark and terrifying, that mission has failed. You would think that kids being roasted and eaten in an old lady’s oven would be fright city, but nope. This film is about as scary as a jar of pitted olives.

On the bright side, it’s much better than what will perhaps always stand as the worst adaptation of the story, the Jeremy Renner vehicle Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters.

Gretel & Hansel is just boring bad, not bad to the core. Still, horror fans need not waste their time. Ω

Reopening this week 5 Parasite The latest film from South Korean auteur Bong Joon-ho (which just won Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay) is a savagely farcical comedy/ drama with a whiplash streak of social commentary and a few stinging touches of horror film and theater of the absurd running through it. Its central story concerns the mutual misadventures of two families, one poor and the other wealthy. The downat-the-heels members of the Kim family live in a squalid basement apartment and are mostly unemployed. They’re indifferently educated, lacking in marketable skills, and not particularly attentive to ambition or any other bourgeois values. But they do have a certain roguish flair for forgery and the role-playing of con artists, and that’s what soon brings them all into the lives of the very well-heeled Park family. An air of rowdy comedy prevails through most of this, but the harsh contrasts between poverty and wealth bode ill right from the start, and the signs that all this probably won’t end well really start to kick in when we (and the Kims) discover that there’s yet another family and yet another basement dwelling in this story and in the palatial “modernistic” house that is its main setting. Cinemark 14. Rated PG-13 —J.C.S.

Now playing 4 1917 Sam Mendes’ sprawlingly detailed war film intrigues, above all, as a relatively simple and intimate tale told in spectacularly large-scale terms. Its plotline has two youthful British soldiers carrying a crucial set of orders through the labyrinthian trenches of a World War I “no man’s land” in hopes of preventing the likely massacre of two battalions. Lance Corporal Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman) and Lance Corporal Schofield (George MacKay) are longtime pals who follow orders with increasing fervor, even or maybe especially with the mounting indications that they and all their comrades are in way over their heads. The film’s main claims to some kind of greatness have to do with the ways in which the story of the pair’s battlefield journey is mounted. Mendes and ace cinematographer Roger Deakins keep their camera in close proximity to the two principles, and in the process create the impression of one long continuous take as Blake and Schofield trek through terrain that is by turns gruesomely confining and desolatingly expansive. Cinemark 14. Rated R —J.C.S.

3The Gentlemen Guy Ritchie is back in his wheelhouse—gangster comedy—and for his new film, he’s assembled and excellent roster led by an intense Matthew McConaughey and an extremely amusing Hugh Grant, plus Colin Farrell, Charlie Hunnam, Michelle Dockery and Eddie Marsan. The Gentlemen feels a lot like the style of Ritchie’s other films in this genre (see Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels), in that it has zippy dialogue and a fairly routine mystery at its core. But it’s a lot of fun, from start to finish, and you will forgive the familiarities and foibles. McConaughey is at his best as Mickey Pearson, an American pot gangster who has built a large illegal weed empire in England. He’s toying with getting out of the business, and offers his empire to another American, Matthew (Jeremy Strong), for a tidy, yet semireasonable sum. Bodies start piling up, Mickey’s hidden farms get compromised, and somebody in the cast is responsible for the chaos. Cinemark 14. Rated R —B.G.

It’s the middle of winter, and citrus trees are full of fruit

In February, they seem to dangle from trees in yards and alongside streets all over Chico: Citrus in a rainbow of neon-bright colors.

But how do you tell when to pick those oranges, lemons and other juicy fruit?

When it comes to citrus, color is not enough. You need to take a taste test. It helps if they first got a “kiss of cold.”

We’re having a good citrus season, with local trees heavy with fruit. Citrus fruits in the North State ripen slowly, often taking nine months or more to reach their peak of flavor. They also can hang on the tree for months after maturity.

Adding to the puzzle: Citrus will look ripe long before they are ripe. That leads many gardeners to despair that they planted a “bad” orange or grapefruit variety that will never produce “good” fruit.

Right now, navel oranges are reaching full ripeness while Valencias are still a month or more away. Grapefruit, too, need more time.

Weather, climate and growing conditions all factor into the citrus calendar. Grapefruit grown in Nor Cal can take 12 to 18 months to reach full ripeness, twice as long as the same grapefruit varieties grown in Coachella. The more summer heat, the faster citrus develops.

Once picked, citrus won’t get sweeter or juicier. Bitter or dry oranges often were just picked too early. In addition, oranges benefit from chilly overnight temperatures in the 30s to bring out their natural sugars.

In January, our oranges finally got that “kiss of cold,” and taste much sweeter for it.

According to local citrus experts, ripe citrus looks bright and full colored. But it also feels heavy for its size and firm when squeezed. A fully ripe orange or lemon will slip easily off its stem without tugging. To pick, gently twist and pull at the same time. The best way to judge ripeness is by tasting. Pick fruit from opposite sides of the tree and sample. Fruit growing on the outside of the tree tends to ripen faster than fruit that grows closer to the trunk. If the trial oranges taste sweet, the tree is ready to pick. If not, wait a week, then sample again.

The best place to store ripe citrus? Leave it on the tree. Unless there’s a bad frost, it will stay fresh and firm until ready for use— or until the tree drops the fruit to make room for more. Ω by Debbie Arrington

If life gives you citrus, make sorbet

In desserts, citrus is often brought in to help balance things out or bring out other flavors. Add some lemon zest to baked goods to cut the sweetness; put orange next to chocolate for a perfect marriage of contrasts. But when you want it to be the star of your sweet treat, it’s best to leave citrus as unencumbered as possible, and few desserts are as simple—and elegant—as sorbet. All you really need is orange (or lemon, or grapefruit) juice and sugar. The ratio can vary—from 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup sugar for every cup of liquid—depending how sweet you want it, but the more sugar, the more silky and less slushy your final product will be.

Simple sorbet 3 cups citrus juice (if using lemons, mix 3/4 cup juice with 2 1/4 cups water) Between 3/4 cup and 1 1/2 cups sugar (based on personal preference)

Pour one cup of juice (or water/ lemon mixture) into saucepan with sugar. Cook over med-high and whisk until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat, stir in remaining liquid. If you have an ice-cream maker, pour in and churn until ready. If not, pour into a freezer-proof dish and place in freezer. Whisk every hour until firm.

Ceramic garden

Chinese mythology and fruit imagery in new university exhibit

San Francisco artist Cathy Lu’s current exhibit, Foreign Bodies—a collection of ceramic and mixedmedia works at the Jacki Headley University Art Gallery—offers a lot of food for thought. Her cast and glazed ceramic fruit and vegetables display her mastery of technique, a fine eye for threedimensional assemblage, and a subtle sense of humor balanced with commentary on cross-cultural expressions of “art.”

The first of the 12 pieces encountered is the paradoxically named “(Untitled) Fruit Net,” an imposing (12-by-9 feet) composition of ceramic fruit strung on a network of steel cable suspended from the ceiling. Lit from above, the intricately textured, sized and shaped cabbages, apples, bananas, eggplants, Durian fruit, etc. are glazed with nearly metallic sheens of gold, silver, green, pink and yellow. The “net” of fruity objects provides a fragmented, filtered view of the rest of the exhibit.

Next up on the suggested counterclockwise route around the space by Carey Wilson Review: Cathy Lu’s Foreign Bodies shows through March 14. Jacki Headley University Art Gallery Arts & Humanities Building Chico State headleygallery csuchico.com is “Pile,” which delivers the opposite effect of the carefully composed “Fruit Net.” It consists of a literal pile of “discarded bricks” that looks like it could have been dumped on the floor out of a wheel barrow. On closer examination, however, the piece also reveals an assortment of cast ginger root, bananas and other brick-sized food elements in muted, unnatural mattefinished colors mixed in randomly with the broken bricks.

Enigmatic as “Pile” is, the four numbered pieces titled “Security Fence” were, to this viewer, the most mysterious and least cohesive of the exhibit. The incongruity of these stark white, cast porcelain barriers held up by sandbags separate the other pieces like paragraph returns.

Segregated from the rest of the exhibit, “Peach Garden” is set within a framework of PVC pipe draped with clear plastic sheeting held in place with jumper cable clamps. Inside the enclosure, the “peaches” are super-sized sculptures set on coiled pedestals of unglazed red clay. In Chinese mythology, peaches represent immortality, and Lu’s counterpart to the garden of Eden is filled with beautiful, multicolored and intricately textured abstractions of the fruit accented by smaller rounded unglazed cones emitting wisps of steam. Standing in their midst, I couldn’t help but think of Cathy Lu’s “Pile” (detail) PHOTO BY JASON CASSIDY

the pods from the Alien movies. As Lu explained in an interview on the Asia Society website: “I love when people see my pieces from far away and are just drawn to the ‘nice’ colors, but then they get closer and are really disturbed by the violent or sexual imagery, and then they begin to question why.” This piece certainly succeeds in that regard.

The other major, or at least biggest, piece in the exhibition is “Tree,” a plastic net of produce bags, bamboo poles and zip-ties. The multicolored produce bags are suspended from the A-frame lattice work of bamboo, which is held together with multiple wraps of black plastic zip-ties. As in all of the pieces, the cast fruit is not of its natural color, in this case being presented in drab matte tones that complement the shiny plastic nets that hold them.

The final piece on the circuit is “Nuwa Hands,” a pair of forearms projecting from the wall with goldtipped, plant-like fingertips. Nuwa is a mother goddess in Chinese mythology connected to creation myths, and in the context of the exhibit, she is still at work through the artist who created an intriguing world of “foreign bodies.” Ω OverflOw thread: warm-winter versiOn It’s three in the afternoon on a Tuesday in the middle of February and the temperature is 73 degrees. No wind, no clouds, nothing but intensely blue skies in all directions outside arts dEVo’s office.

As with his band, Cotton Jones, the Maryland musician’s recent songs are still kind of rooted in the Americana/ folk rock tradition.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11, AT 11:59 P.M.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Now that she’s in her late forties, Aries comedian and actress Tig Notaro is wiser about love. Her increased capacity for romantic happiness has developed in part because she’s been willing to change her attitudes. She says, “Instead of being someone who expects people to have all the strengths I think I need them to have, I resolved to try to become someone who focuses on the strengths they do have.” In accordance with this Valentine’s season’s astrological omens, I invite you to meditate on how you might cultivate more of that aptitude yourself. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus artist Joan Miró loved to daub colored paint on canvases. He said he approached his work in the same way he made love—“a total embrace, without caution, prudence thrown to the winds, nothing held back.” In accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to invoke a similar attitude with all the important things you do in the coming weeks. Summon the ardor and artistry of a creative lover for all-purpose use. GEMINI(May 21-June 20): In 1910, Gemini businessman Irving Seery was 20 years old. One evening he traveled to the Metropolitan Opera in New York City to see an opera starring the gorgeous and electrifying soprano Maria Jeritza. He fell in love instantly. For the next 38 years, he remained a bachelor as he nursed his desire to marry her. His devotion finally paid off. Jeritza married Seery in 1948. In 2020, I think you will be capable of a heroic feat of love that resembles Seery’s. Which of your yearnings might evoke such intensely passionate dedication? CANCER (June 21-July 22): I’ve been married twice, both times to the same woman. Our first time around, we were less than perfectly wise in the arts of relationship. After our divorce and during the few years we weren’t together, we each ripened into more graceful versions of ourselves and we developed greater intimacy skills. Our second marriage has been far more successful. Is there a comparable possibility in your life? A chance to enhance your ability to build satisfying togetherness? An opening to learn practical lessons from past romantic mistakes? Now is a favorable time to capitalize. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In 1911, the famous Russian poet Anna Akhmatova and the famous Italian painter Amedeo Modigliani were in love with each other. Both were quite poor, though. They didn’t have much to spend on luxuries. In her memoir, Akhmatova recalled the time they went on a date in the rain at the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris. Barely protected under a rickety umbrella, they amused each other by reciting the verse of Paul Verlaine, a poet they both loved. Isn’t that romantic? In the coming weeks, I recommend you experiment with comparable approaches to cultivating love. Get back to raw basics. VIRGO(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I hope there’s someone in your life to whom you can give a note like the one I’ll offer at the end of this oracle. If there’s not, I trust you will locate that person in the next six months. Feel free to alter the note as you see fit. Here it is. “When you and I are together, it’s as if we have been reborn into luckier lives; as if we can breathe deeper breaths that fill our bodies with richer sunlight; as if we see all of the world’s beauty that alone we were blind to; as if the secrets of our souls’ codes are no longer secret.” LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the course of your life, how many people and animals have truly loved you? Three? Seven? More? I invite you to try this Valentine experiment: Write down their names on a piece of paper. Spend a few minutes visualizing the specific qualities in you that they cherished, and how they expressed their love, and how you felt as you received their caring attention. Then send out a beam of gratitude to each of them. Honor them with sublime appreciation for having treasured your unique beauty. Amazingly enough, doing this exercise will magnetize you to further outpourings of love in the coming weeks. SCORPIO(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I invite you to copy the following passage and offer it to a person who is receptive to deepening their connection with you. “Your healing eyes bless the winter jasmine flowers that the breeze blew into the misty creek. Your welcoming prayers celebrate the rhythmic light of the mud-loving cypress trees. Your fresh dreams replenish the eternal salt that nourishes our beloved song of songs. With your melodic breath, you pour all these not-yet-remembered joys into my body.” (This lyrical message is a blend of my words with those of Scorpio poet Odysseus Elytis.) SAGITTARIUS(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The poet Virgil, a renowned author in ancient Rome, wrote three epic poems that are still in print today. His second was a masterpiece called the Georgics. It took him seven years to write, even though it was only 2,740 lines long. So on average he wrote a little over one line per day. I hope you’ll use him as inspiration as you toil over your own labors of love in the coming weeks and months. There’ll be no need to rush. In fact, the final outcomes will be better if you do them slowly. Be especially diligent and deliberate in all matters involving intimacy and collaboration and togetherness. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I invite you to copy the following passage and offer it to a person who is ready to explore a more deeply lyrical connection with you. “I yearn to earn the right to your whispered laugh, your confident caress, your inscrutable dance. Amused and curious, I wander where moon meets dawn, inhaling the sweet mist in quest of your questions. I study the joy that my imagination of you has awakened. All the maps are useless, and I like them that way. I’m guided by my nervous excitement to know you deeper. Onward toward the ever-fresh truth of your mysterious rhythms!” AQUARIUS(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian author Derek Walcott had a perspective on love that I suspect might come in handy for you during this Valentine season. “Break a vase,” he wrote, “and the love that reassembles the fragments is stronger than that love which took its symmetry for granted when it was whole.” I urge you to meditate on how you could apply his counsel to your own love story. How might you remake your closest alliances into even better and brighter versions of themselves? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Piscean poet Saul Williams wrote a meditation I hope you’ll consider experimenting with this Valentine season. It involves transforming mere kisses into sublime kisses. If you choose to be inspired by his thoughts, you’ll explore new sensations and meanings available through the act of joining your mouth to another’s. Ready? “Have you ever lost yourself in a kiss? I mean pure psychedelic inebriation. Not just lustful petting, but transcendental metamorphosis, when you became aware that the greatness of this other being is breathing into you. Licking your mouth, like sealing a thousand fleshy envelopes filled with the essence of your passionate being, and then opened by the same mouth and delivered back to you, over and over again—the first kiss of the rest of your life.”
