March 24, 2016

Secretary of State’s Office announced that a labor group had gathered enough signatures to place an initiative on the general election ballot that would significantly increase the minimum wage over the next five years.

Moreover, a Field Poll conducted last summer indicates that voters would support the measure.

This follows the bump low-wage earners received in January, the second step of an increase that took the state’s minimum wage from $8 in 2008 to $10 today. That translates to an annual income of $20,800—an amount that’s nearly twice that of the federal poverty level ($11,702). However, here in the Golden State, according to MIT’s Living Wage Calculator, 10 bucks an hour is more than $2 short of making a living wage.

Here in Butte County, wage earners fare somewhat better. The local living wage for an adult is $9.95 an hour. Thing is, cost-of-living indexes are based on full-time employment, and most low-wage earners don’t work 40 hours a week. What’s more, many of them have a child—or children—a factor that more than doubles the amount of money it takes to make a living wage.

During this presidential election season, there’s been talk about increasing the federal minimum wage over a five-year period, presumably starting in 2017. Sen. Bernie Sanders favors increasing it to $15, while Hillary Clinton supports a $12 hourly wage. (It’s currently $7.25 an hour).

But back to California, where lawmakers face the public taking the issue into their own hands at the polls. State law allows for proponents to withdraw the initiative should they come to a compromise. But that has to happen before the ballot is finalized in June.

The initiative calls for a dollar increase each year over the next five years. The question is whether lawmakers can mollify both the labor group and the business community, who consider the measure a savior for the working class and a job killer, respectively.

From our perspective, it’s clear the recent bump to $10 was not adequate. The data from MIT show that workers in the state need to be paid at least $12.34 an hour to get by. Getting Californians to that living-wage threshold seems like a good compromise, so long as it happens in the short-term. The increase is not a panacea for the state’s poverty issues, but it would be a step in the right direction. □

Sunshine at last Last week, after years of legal wrangling involving a former middle school

principal, the Chico Unified School District and Chico State, a dispute over public records came to an end. Coincidentally, it was national Sunshine Week, which celebrates government transparency.

In court, CUSD agreed to pay the fees of an attorney specializing in freedom of information. That lawyer, Paul Nicholas Boylan, will receive $200,000 for his efforts to procure the documents his client, Jeff Sloan, sought under public records laws (see Meredith J. Cooper’s report on page 10). Back in August, the court ordered the release of more than 9,000 pages of emails.

But that dollar figure is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the money spent to try to block Sloan from receiving documents that the court ultimately agreed should have been handed over. It doesn’t include CUSD’s legal fees nor those of yet another public agency, Chico State, as that institution of higher learning was sued by CUSD in its attempt to suppress the documents in question.

We’re very likely talking about fees totaling upward of $1 million of taxpayer money. Put in the context of educating the local populace, that’s certainly a waste. □

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

Woman at the top One of the upsides to being a journalist in a small metro area is that the folks who make news are often in some way familiar to me. I’ve interviewed easily thousands of people over the past 17 years, starting with my earliest reporting in college. I cannot remember everyone, of course, but many times a name or face rings a bell.

That was the case for me a few weeks ago, on deadline Wednesday morning, when the CSU Chancellor’s Office announced who would be Chico State President Paul Zingg’s successor when he retires in a few months. “I know that name,” I said to CN&R staffer Howard Hardee, upon him saying that 1) A woman had been chosen, and 2) Her name is Gayle Hutchinson.

The mystery deepened when he told me she’s the current provost at CSU Channel Islands. I’ve never been to that campus, although it is near my husband’s hometown in Ventura County, and we do visit the area each year. Moments later, when we figured out that Hutchinson had spent the majority of her career at Chico State, things started coming together.

“I’ve interviewed her,” I guessed. That was a safe bet, since I spent more than three years as the full-time higher education beat reporter over at the local daily. I would’ve gone digging through my old stories, but the E-R has a paywall for its archives—and current content—and I wasn’t about to spend money to sate my curiosity.

But the reporter in me thought I should at least take a shot at it. Turns out, all it took was Googling my name and Hutchinson’s together. What turned up was a 13-year-old story in The Orion, Chico State’s student newspaper, about a University Policetaught women’s self-defense class having been canceled. Then it all came back to me. The campus officers who taught the class were upset that a scheduling error had led to low enrollment, and thus the cancellation.

I remember sitting down with Hutchinson—then in her first year as chair of the Physical Education Department (now the Kinesiology Department). I could tell that she wasn’t particularly excited to be interviewed. But to her credit, she was very professional with me—a campus watchdog in my last semester of college. She acknowledged that the screw-up was hers. She said it was not intentional and that the class would resume the next semester and thereafter, so long as campus police were willing to teach it.

To my recollection, that’s the first and last time I spoke with Hutchinson.

Hardee talked to her for this week’s cover story, a Q&A that gives us at least a small window into what she’s like and her initial thoughts on leading the campus. After she gets resettled here, I’ll look forward to meeting her in person and chatting about what it’s like to be the first woman to hold the university’s top position.

Being the first woman to sit in the editor’s chair at the CN&R, I certainly have some interesting anecdotes of my own to share.

Re “What a hypocrite” (Editorial, March 17): Congressman LaMalfa shares the same sentiment as many Californians when it comes to road conditions.

While the president wants to repair the infrastructure across America, defunding the high-speed rail in our state could cover the cost. At this point, it is clear that the rail will not be built by the original 2020 deadline, and well above the original cost estimate of around $40 billion.

Using state and federal funding to repair California roads would be better for taxpayers, as opposed to a new gas tax. When funding projects, lawmakers must consider alternatives that will be less burdensome on the taxpayers in California.

Uncalled for pot-stirring Re “On to the voters” (Newslines, by Ken Smith, March 10): Ken Smith did a bang-up job of stirring the pot of dissension between cannabis proponents and opponents.

If twisting the truth to suit his own agenda was his goal, I applaud Mr. Smith. If using his position as a CN&R staff reporter to fan the flames of opposition was his intent, I applaud him. However, if presenting a factual account of what actually happened at the Board of Supervisors meeting was the goal, Mr. Smith missed the mark by a mile.

The meeting did not “teeter on the edge of chaos.” Both sides presented their opinions in an orderly fashion.

Board Chairman Bill Connelly was able to keep everyone on topic with very little difficulty.

We live in changing times. Change is never an easy thing. People are angry with many of the policies that restrict personal freedoms. There are always two sides to every conflict.

This is a good thing if it causes both sides to examine the issues objectively.

In the future, I challenge Mr. Smith and the CN&R editors to report events as factually as possible, and to leave personal biases and opinions out of the press.

This is compassion?

Re “‘Our community cares’” (Letters, by Ron Reed, March 17): Ron Reed claims Chico is a “town full of compassionate and caring” people. He should share this news with people on the streets; they’ll be ecstatic.

Fact is, the homeless live in a city where it is illegal for them to sleep; this is literally true. At night, the homeless live in a “compassionate” city where they cannot legally urinate or defecate. They live in a city where their possessions can be seized and “storing” necessities on public land is a crime. They live in a city where they are driven from make-shift shelters without notice—and they may be arrested in the process.

They live in a city where they are told to keep moving and moving; simply standing in an alcove is a crime.

Michael Madieros and Joe Montes are public figures, publicly supporting homeless criminalization ordinances driving much of the above—apparently on behalf of the wealthiest people in Chico.

Reed is free to admire criminalizers and rationalize their positions, as do many in Chico. But, “town full of compassion?” If this is compassion, what do bullying, intimidation, harassment, oppression, exclusion, deprivation and tyranny look like?

Patrick Newman Chico

Voice your opposition On March 29, the Glenn County Board of Supervisors will hear an appeal from a citizens group for the approval of a waste conversion facility 3 miles west of Hamilton City on the banks of Stony Creek.

I urge anyone who is concerned about this potentially disastrous project to either attend this hearing or write to the Glenn County supervisors to make their views known.

About those oil trains Re “A looming disaster” (Guest comment, by Dave Garcia, March 10): Dave Garcia’s editorial warning against the dangers of crude oil trains in the Feather River Canyon

proved prophetic when, just a few days later, another train derailed in the canyon.

Oil trains are a growing regional concern, with six counties and 20 cities located near Sacramento having gone on record as not wanting oil trains to traverse their boundaries. And that’s in the valley, where falling rocks are not a problem and the route is not designated as “high-hazard.”

Understandably, folks in this area are becoming more concerned.

Readers will be interested to know that this very week, at Chico State’s sustainability conference, they can learn much more. On the Wrong Track, a new documentary film on oil trains coming down the canyon, will debut today (Thursday, March 24) at 3 p.m. [in Bell Memorial Union 203]. Along with Garcia, filmmakers will be on hand to answer questions.

Paul W. Rea Newark

The March 10 column “A looming disaster” does not acknowledge that America’s freight rail network is one of the world’s safest transportation networks, and that the industry’s goal is to always make a safe network even safer.

Freight railroads have privately invested record amounts in recent years to maintain and improve the 140,000-mile nationwide network and develop innovative safety technologies. Train accident rates have fallen 45 percent since 2000, and 99.99 percent of trains carrying crude oil reach their destinations without incident.

The safety of our employees and the communities in which we operate is the industry’s top priority. In addition to stepped-up track inspections and the use of track-side safety technology, freight railroads train thousands of first responders in local communities across the U.S. and offer online and hands-on classroom instruction at the industry’s specialized training facility in Colorado. Safety is the industry’s No. 1 priority and is built into every aspect of railroading.

Patricia M. Reilly senior vice president, Association of American Railroads Washington, D.C.

On March 12, Lake Oroville and California missed another nightmare. There was a landslide

For the sake of California’s economy, our representatives ... must demand that all railroads immediately reroute all trains carrying crude oil away from the Feather River Canyon.

—John Scott

in the Feather River Canyon near Pulga that took out the railroad tracks. If a train laden with toxic crude oil had been coming down the tracks at that time and crashed into the Feather River, California, as well as the nation, would be reeling from a preventable disaster.

Oil will destroy Lake Oroville and the Thermalito Afterbay and then will leak into the Tuscan Aquifer, poisoning our groundwater from Nelson and Richvale to the Delta.

The water from Lake Oroville and our groundwater drive the California economy.

For the sake of California’s economy, our representatives— Doug LaMalfa, Jim Nielsen, James Gallagher, Brian Dahle, Dianne Feinstein, Barbara Boxer, Governor Brown, the Farm Bureau, the rice growers associations, U.S. Fish & Wildlife, sport fishing clubs and associations and all of the state water contractors— must demand that all railroads immediately reroute all trains carrying crude oil away from the Feather River Canyon.

It is not “if this disaster will happen,” but when. So far, our representatives have said/done nothing to reroute these toxic railcars.

Commentary comments Re “Move Chico toward compassion” (Guest comment, by Patrick Newman, March 17): After reading Patrick Newman’s guest comment and the letters to the editor, I just had to pause and write the editor in praise of the Chico News & Review. It’s always interesting and pertinent. This, no matter who you are or where you’re from or coming from.

Decades of fun. Truth. Always something to pick up.

I’m sure loads of folks feel the

same. The paper is part of a fabric of town and the county of Butte.

Chico goes through cycles and changes over time, so it’s nice to see a true standard carry on though this paper. I always make sure to get mine.

Sure, there are human feces, syringes, litter and pit bulls on the sidewalk, and there are murders here. The Chico News & Review reports this. The paper reports all sides of this issue and thoughts concerning fixes. Prospective parents of kids planning to attend the college should read this paper.

Their investment is quite large in this community.

Chris Durniak Chico

Mr. Newman obviously has good intentions with his suggestions for improving the living conditions of Chico’s homeless.

However, I believe that a major public relations issue should be addressed to bring the citizenry on board. The literal tons of refuse, clothing and other debris the homeless trail on our streets, sidewalks, creeks and park send a very negative message.

I believe we feel disrespected and violated by this spin-off of their living situation. Chico is many things, but the most outstanding element may be its natural beauty. Mr. Newman, please consider an approach to this issue by changing or in some way correcting this behavior. When you hand out food and clothing, remind them how important not defiling the environment is. Why would we give when we likely will see our efforts strewn about?

Residents say Casa de Flores Mobile Home Park has had problems with transients and tweakers, but not medical marijuana patients.

WeeMs guilty of Murder

After three weeks of testimony and arguments by the prosecution and defense, Chicoan Zir Weems was convicted of first degree murder Friday (March 18) in the 2014 strangling death of his wife, Angelica.

Testimony of family members, expert witnesses and co-workers was often emotional and pointed to a history of abuse and numerous attempts by Angelica to leave her husband. Weems himself took the stand and testified that he had never abused Angelica and that he blacked out for nearly a week after her disappearance.

The members of the jury did not agree.

With a choice between first and second degree murder—basically the difference between a premeditated crime and one of passion—they chose the former, which carries a minimum sentence of 25 years to life.

Weems faces sentencing April 21.

assaults on students

In 2014, nearly a quarter of the people in Butte County who received forensic medical examinations for sexual assault were students, according to an annual report from the Butte County Sexual Assault Response Team (SART).

This year, for the first time, the report breaks down victims’ student status, according to a press release from Enloe Medical Center. Of 68 people who were examined, 16 of them—24 percent—were students at the time of their assault. Five were high school students and 11 were in college. All but two victims were women.

SART is a collaboration between Enloe, Oroville Hospital, Rape Crisis Prevention & Intervention and local law enforcement agencies. The release encourages sexual assault victims to seek medical treatment as soon as possible and notes that participating in the criminal-justice process is optional.

The Joneses (not their real name) live in the Casa de Flores Mobile Home Community in north Chico. In early March, they received the 13-page packet of regulations, which take effect in September, from Storz Management Co., an Orangevale-based property management firm that oversees more than 40 mobile and manufactured home communities in the North State. The packet includes guidelines for landscaping, parking, visitor allowances and myriad other things, but the Joneses were most concerned with an item under the “criminal activity” subsection regarding residents’ prescribed standards of conduct.

The rules state that residents and guests shall not engage in criminal actions, including drug activity, on or near the

premises, and further read, “This includes an absolute prohibition on possession of marijuana under any circumstances, even if the resident has a medical marijuana card.”

“Never in my life as a law-abiding, tax-paying citizen would I expect anyone to try to regulate what legal activities I engage in in the privacy of my own home,” Margaret said. Noting their senior status and her husband’s service as a Vietnam veteran, she added, “I think most people here are old enough that we don’t need to be told what to do.”

More than 100 Casa de Flores residents

attended a community meeting at the mobile home park last Friday (March 18) to express their concerns about the rules. Christina Watts, a senior regional property supervisor for Storz, facilitated the meeting.

Watts explained enforcement of the pot prohibition would be driven by resident complaints rather than managers policing the premises, with the legal eviction process beginning after a tenant received three complaints the management deems valid.

But in the case of criminal activity (under which medical marijuana is included), the rules read, “It is understood and agreed that a single violation shall be good cause

for termination of the Resident’s rental agreement/lease. Proof of violation shall not require an arrest by law enforcement and/or criminal conviction.”

The purpose of the rules, Watts said repeatedly, is to address problematic tenants and protect residents. At the meeting, tenants grumbled about ongoing issues with drug dealing, theft and trespassing by transients.

When resident Louthea Griffin questioned the medi-pot rule, Watts responded that park management won’t be policing it: “Until your neighbors start complaining about a ton of partiers or pot billowing out of your windows, we don’t care; we’re not going to go around sniffing and wondering if you’re smoking pot in your house.

“I understand people need to smoke marijuana for medical reasons, and I understand people like to smoke marijuana just to get a little goofy every once in a while,” she continued. “But if it becomes a nuisance, we are going to ask you to leave.”

Griffin, who is not a medical marijuana user, was not satisfied. “They say they won’t enforce it, but that’s not what’s written in the rules,” she said later, adding she feared the rule could be used to unfairly target otherwise exemplary tenants.

“Most of the people in this park are elderly and on fixed incomes. If the management company tries to enforce the medical marijuana rule against someone in the park, what recourse would [the tenant] have other than to hire a lawyer?”

Tenants have been given the option to sign a form and voluntarily accept the park rules. Regardless, they will apply to all residents beginning Sept. 1.

Andy Carey, president of Storz

Management Co., stands by the medical marijuana prohibition.

“As in other residential rental properties, such as apartment complexes, the enactment and enforcement of rules and regulations in mobile home parks is key to maintaining safe, peaceful and enjoyable living environments for the residents of the community,” he wrote by email. “The prohibition on marijuana in the park rules and regulations was enacted in accordance with law, and is reasonable.”

Carey noted marijuana is still a Schedule I substance federally, and that state law doesn’t limit a landlord’s ability to prohibit it.

“Marijuana smoke (like any other smoke) may be a nuisance to neighbors. Similar to cigarette smoking bans, which are enforced throughout the state and universally recognized as reasonable, the marijuana ban was enacted for the benefit of the entire mobile home park community.”

The only reference to cigarettes in the rules is that smoking is not allowed within 20 feet of recreational facilities, the clubhouse or laundry room.

Robert MacKenzie, a Chico land-use lawyer who’s done extensive work on medical marijuana cases, said Proposition 215 patients like those at Casa de Flores are “stuck in a confusing interplay between state and federal laws.”

“Most tenants at any rental property have something in their lease saying they agree to follow all laws,” he said.

“But medicine is an area that generally falls under state’s rights, and in some cases, it’s been successfully argued that federal law shouldn’t apply when it comes to marijuana used as medicine.”

MacKenzie warned that patients caught medicating likely would face a legal battle and that rental laws largely favor landlords. Barring a substantive Supreme Court ruling or state legislation that pushes pot out of the gray area, legal protection is not guaranteed.

“It’s unfortunate, but if they were my clients I’d counsel them to be very careful if they choose to continue using and possessing medical marijuana.” □

Mass uprooting Spring storms topple big trees in Bidwell Park a tree falls in Bidwell Park, does someone it? Unless it’s hazardous to park users Iorfclear blocks a pathway, the answer is no: The

city’s park staff generally lets fallen trees rest and nature run its course.

With all the wind and rain pounding the North State, that’s not just a hypothetical question. In the last two weeks, 17 trees have fallen in Lower Bidwell Park alone, said Dan Efseaff, Chico’s parks and natural resources manager. Others have fallen in Middle and Upper Park, he added, but the city hasn’t kept an official count.

In recent context, it was an unusual series of uprootings. An average of two or three trees fell in Lower Bidwell Park over the last few winters, Efseaff said. “More fell this year than in the last five years, for sure.”

California’s drought likely contributed.

“The trees lose some of their roots because of the dry conditions” he said, referring to “root shedding,” a survival measure of stressed trees. “But there’s still weight up top. Then, with the rains, the ground gets loose and over they go.” Most of the trees fell after windstorms had passed, Efseaff said, indicating that ground saturation was the greatest factor.

So many trees haven’t fallen around the same time since 2008, Efseaff said, when a fierce late-March storm knocked down more than 80 of Chico’s street trees. At the time, most of the trees had sprouted leaves, which, in heavy winds, creates a “sail effect”

that makes the trees more vulnerable. “With the leaves, there’s a much bigger surface area,” he said. “You get that drag, you get that leverage, on top of the wind and ground saturation.”

The recent storms came at a bad time for

the chronically understaffed city park crew.

With one worker out sick, only two were onhand to remove tree material that presented an immediate hazard or blocked a right-ofway, Efseaff said. And with regular park duties beckoning, cleaning up the remaining debris has been slow work.

Most of the trees fell in less accessible parts of Lower Bidwell Park, but three were at One-Mile Recreation Area: one at the footbridge at Sycamore Pool; another in a nearby picnic area; and a third that crushed a fence and blocked South Park Drive. All three areas looked like “war zones,” Efseaff said while guiding the CN&R on a survey of

SIFT ER Refreshing rain Recent heavy rains have been a boon to North State lakes, some of which are now filled higher than their historical averages. As of Monday (March 21), Lake Oroville is at 86 percent of capacity, which is 110 percent of its historical average.

Last year on the same day, the lake was at 59 percent of total capacity, or 75 percent of its historical average. The state’s Department of Water Resources tracks daily water level information at major reservoirs and presents the data in easy-to-read charts available at cdec.water.ca.gov. The data show that, though Lake Shasta and Folsom Lake are similarly ahead of the historic curve, most California lakes are still much lower than usual.

the fallen trees on Monday (March 21). The vast amount of material left over was startling, especially from the tree that fell across South Park Drive. Workers had sawed the trunk into pieces and pushed the brush aside to clear the road.

Where will all the green stuff go? To the extent possible, park staff will keep it onsite. Brush and small branches will be turned into wood chips to provide soil nutrients and promote the growth of the next generation of oaks, Efseaff said. Sections of trunk either become park features—and habitat for forest critters—or barriers in parking lots.

Only material too large to be chipped and too small to be repurposed in the park will become green waste.

In the case of the fallen tree at the picnic area, which forms an arch over the tables, park staff will leave it intact but move it to be “less in the way,” Efseaff said, and See a fallen tree? make sure the trunk Alert city staff by callis sturdy enough to ing the Parks Division at support the people 896-7800. If a collapse is who will inevitably imminent, call the Chico Police Department at climb on it. The lower 897-4900. trunk of the tree on South Park Drive, on the other hand, will stay put. Workers will remove the root system for aesthetics, but otherwise their intent is for natural processes to take over.

“It’s part of Bidwell Park,” Efseaff said.

“It’s part of nature.”

Pay day Chico Unified set to pony up $200,000 after court denies lawsuit against Chico State to stop release of emails

F

or more than a decade, Jeff Sloan has been searching for answers. He’s been dogged in his quest to obtain public records that could shed light on what he believes to be despicable methods used to oust him from his position as Marsh Junior High School principal in 2004.

He finally got some of those answers last August, when a Butte County court ruled that more than 9,000 pages of emails sent by Chico Unified School District staff or board members be released to him. (He has yet to read through all 9,000 pages.) Last week, the district agreed to a settlement agreement with Sloan’s attorney, Paul Nicholas Boylan. To the tune of $200,000.

“That’s a significant amount of money. I’m pleased; it’s always good to have my time compensated,” Boylan said by phone.

The Davis-based attorney has vast experience in dealing with public records and is a staunch supporter of transparency in government.

“The law encourages that; it encourages the award of attorneys’

fees for attorneys who take these types of cases.

“It’s the largest settlement I’ve ever been paid for a case like this,” he added.

Why, exactly, is CUSD forking over such a large amount of cash?

It’s complicated.

Two years ago, after several

attempts to retrieve emails via the California Public Records Act from CUSD and getting some— but not all, he suspected—of what he was asking for, Sloan decided to look at the problem in a different way. “What Mr. Sloan suspected was that the district was using outside email services—like AOL or Gmail—so when people ask for these records, they can say, ‘We don’t have them’ and it’s true, even though it’s a trick,” Boylan said.

Several of the people whose emails he was interested in reading—then-Assistant Superintendent Bob Feaster and board members Andrea Lerner Thompson and Kathy Kaiser—also held positions at Chico State. So,

Sloan sent a CPRA request for emails to the university, which in preparation to comply, offered the interested parties a chance to redact any private messages or information, Boylan said. CUSD’s lawyer then contacted Chico State and argued all of the emails should be exempt. The university balked and CUSD, along with Feaster, Lerner Thompson and Kaiser, sued Chico State.

“In communications with Chico Unified School District’s counsel (primarily Paul Gant), the District and the individually named plaintiffs demanded that CSU issue a blanket denial to Mr. Sloan, denying all of his requests and withholding all of the emails ... on the grounds that the records were not public records because they pertained to District business and not CSU business, and because CSU Chico’s email system use policy provided the individually named plaintiffs with a privacy interest in all of the emails responsive to Mr. Sloan’s requests,” explains Chico State attorney Susan Westover in a declaration to the court.

In other words, they argued Chico State’s email policy made the exchanges private, and thus not applicable under public records laws.

CUSD Superintendent Kelly Staley countered Westover’s statement, saying it was her understanding that the university did not immediately offer to redact any private information. “We spent a lot of money to protect students from the release of confidential information,” she said by phone.

“In fact, we found confidential information [that was released] even after we went through it very carefully—some emails had social security numbers in them.”

In lieu of a judge, the court appointed what’s called a “special master”—in this case, Sacramento public law attorney Ruthann Ziegler—to weigh the petitioners’ arguments and make a decision.

“Having reviewed the records, the Special Master finds that the records Petitioners claim are not public records pursuant to the CSU Chico E-mail Policy and court decisions … are, in fact, public records,” Ziegler writes. “The reason is that these records are in the possession of a public agency subject to the CPRA and were used by public officials in the performance of their official duties, even if not for CSU Chico.”

In providing Sloan with these emails, the court sent a strong message to public agencies throughout California that transparency rules, Boylan said.

“There is no right more important than access to information,” he said. “Without it, you can’t make decisions, you can never identify whether something’s gone wrong.

Whether we like it or not, every citizen is a watchdog. And you can’t fulfill that function if you can’t see what’s going on.”

For Sloan’s part, he’s not giving up the fight, but he is ready to relax a little.

“I’m not sure what comes next.

I know I want to take some time off to spend with my wife, put all of this behind us,” he wrote in an email. “I can say that I am amazed how long this took and how much it all cost, not just me, but also the public. It shouldn’t take so much time and cost so much money for someone to review public records.”

HEALTHLINES The Pesticide Action Network seeks to spread awareness of the environmental health risks of agricultural pesticides.

Developing and vulnerable Children most susceptible to pesticides, residue on produce

a 2014 study of 15 rural counties, not including Butte.)

Schafer and her colleagues are finalizing their report, which she anticipates will be released in June, so she couldn’t share all the conclusions. She did say the latest data—“new evidence, new types of studies”—have been “overall reinforcing the findings we saw in 2012.”

The crux of the findings: Exposure to certain herbicides and pesticides at specific periods of development, even in very low doses, contributes to a child’s increased risk of cognitive and physical problems.

Conditions to which studies link agricultural chemicals include birth defects, autism, ADHD, childhood cancers, asthma, obesity, diabetes and early onset of puberty.

“Why we focused in on children is because they’re particularly vulnerable,” Schafer said. “They take more in poundfor-pound than adults do—more air, more water, more food—as they’re growing, and at the same time they don’t have all the biological, physiological defenses developed that adults do.”

Dr. Mark Lundberg, Butte County’s public health officer, shares Schafer and PAN’s concern about ensuring the healthy development of children. He stresses, howHEALTHLINES c o n t i n u e D

on a ranch before moving to Butte Creek Canyon when she was in middle school.

She served in the Peace Corps in Kenya, working on agroforestry, and in the World Resource Institute’s Sustainable Agriculture program before joining the Pesticide Action Network (PAN) 20 years ago.

PAN is an international coalition of NGOs and citizen groups dedicated to challenging “the global proliferation of pesticides, defend[ing] basic rights to health and environmental quality, and work[ing] to ensure the transition to a just and viable food system,” according to its website.

As program and policy director, Schafer encountered an increasing number of scientific studies about adverse effects weed- and

insect-killing chemicals have on people.

Some research would draw headlines; much would get no publicity, so the impact would be limited—mostly in households like hers.

“My daughter was like the strawberry police in her preschool; she was like, ‘You can’t eat those, those aren’t organic!’”

Schafer said in a phone interview from Atlanta, where she traveled last week to watch her daughter, Linnea Mack, swim for UCLA at the NCAA Championships.

“There are a lot of chemicals used on strawberries, which has tremendous impact on Watsonville and the whole Central Coast region. But it was funny, [young Linnea wouldn’t] let you eat those strawberries….

“We don’t tend to be rigid about only eating organic, but when we can it’s something we try to do because not only does it support our family’s growth, but it also helps support that sector of the agricultural industry…. Moving in the direction of reducing the use of the chemicals that we know to be most harmful just makes sense.

It’s common sense.”

Which chemicals are the most harmful? How

do we really know?

Schafer sought to consolidate and propagate the science in collaboration with experts through PAN. She has been the lead author on multiple reports for the organization and co-authored a report on children’s health.

The latter report—A Generation in Jeopardy: How Pesticides Are Undermining Our Children’s Health and Intelligence— came out in 2012 and will get republished this spring with added information. Not only will the 2016 version have updated data, incorporating newer scientific studies, it will also examine environmental effects from agricultural chemicals in rural areas.

Children in all communities ingest pesticides as residue on food they eat, Schafer said; children in farming communities “get this kind of double dose of exposure.”

It’s a widespread issue: The California Department of Public Health determined that more than a half-million children statewide attend school within a quarter-mile of pesticide use. (That figure comes from

HEALTHLINES ever, that an all-or-nothing view of pesticides also poses risks.

Take mosquito-borne illnesses, such as the West Nile and Zika viruses. Zika, so far, has not posed a major risk in Butte County. West Nile has. In fact, 2015 was “our most significant year for WNV” with 32 milder (i.e., fever) cases, 24 serious (neuroinvasive) cases and one death.

“When you are talking about these communicable diseases, these are complicated analyses you have to look at: the health benefit versus the health risk,” Lundberg said by phone. “In some places of the country and in some places of the world, they’re using pesticides to try to address a public threat, a public health epidemic.”

Lundberg appreciates efforts to reduce the use of farm chemicals, such as a bill moving forward in the California Legislature (Senate Bill 1247) that would create “agricultural innovation zones” to incentivize change.

“When alternatives can be found, why not encourage that?” he said. “We don’t have a shortage of pesticides in our bodies, do we?”

His overriding perspective is that “the public’s health needs to be the

Schafer, for her part, hopes to spark informed discussion, akin to those that her children have had.

Her reports and the PAN-affiliated website WhatsOnMyFood.org get information to the public.

“It’s trying to make those links between what’s on our plate and what’s happening in the field,” she said. “Pesticides are in the name of the organization, [but] pesticides are sort of a way into a whole bundle of issues around food and farming, and our goal is really to promote and support a thriving, resilient food and farming system that doesn’t put children at risk, rural communities at risk, farm families or farm workers at risk.” □

WEEKLY DOSE Break from booze Put that beer down for just a second. There’s a growing movement inspired by Dry January, which is based on the idea that laying off the bottle for a short while—like, say, a month—can reset your relationship with alcohol. William Miller, author of Controlling Your Drinking, has been arguing in favor of this approach for decades. “To practice not doing something you habitually do, it builds up your self-control muscle,” he said, “your ability to manage your own behavior.” There may be health benefits as well. In a small study of 10 regular drinkers who abstained for five weeks, researchers at London Medical School found that liver fat, an early indicator of liver damage, fell by an average of 15 percent; blood sugar, a risk factor for diabetes, fell by 16 percent; blood cholesterol dropped by 5 percent; and the participants lost an average of 3 pounds. They did, however, report less social contact.

GREEN Roger Doiron will deliver a speech about gardening Friday at Chico State’s This Way to Sustainability conference.

Power of the plot Nationally known gardening advocate on the importance of growing food locally

talk about the challenges that organizers have faced in mobilizing the garden movement, and how our organization can help.

If there is one thing you want people to take away from the garden movement, what is it?

Rachel Bush

the nonprofit Kitchen Gardeners RInternational (KGI), an organization that oger Doiron is founder/director of

mobilizes communities to start gardening projects in the hopes of becoming more self-reliant within their local food distribution systems. He’s based in Maine, but will be making a stop in Chico this week for Chico State’s 11th annual This Way to Sustainability conference.

KGI gained international renown after successfully proposing the White House garden campaign, which First Lady Michelle Obama implemented, growing and distributing food around the Washington, D.C., area.

Since then, Doiron’s received several accolades, including being named one of the 10 Most Inspiring People in Sustainable Food by editors of Fast Company Magazine.

He’s written many pieces and given speeches on sustainable food practices. Doiron and KGI currently focus their efforts on SeedMoney, a crowdfunding website helping nonprofit gardens around the country raise money to grow their food.

Doiron recently spoke with the CN&R about the importance of the garden movement and the myriad benefits gardens provide, from redistribution of wealth to healthier food options and more sustainable production methods.

Why did you start Kitchen Gardeners International?

I kept arriving at the conclusion that food gardeners were going to be part of the solution to many of the bigger challenges we’re facing. We started with a focus on home gardens, and now that’s shifted to community gardens, including gardens at schools, food banks, etc. There is strength in numbers and a number of good things that come from bringing gardeners together.

The White House garden campaign was a big deal for KGI. How did you organize that?

I did a lot of improvising. In 2008, the U.N. was running a contest called On Day One to collect ideas for change that President Obama could put into action during his first 100 days in office. I suggested the idea of a White House garden on the [On Day One] website, and asked everyone on the KGI mailing list to vote for the idea.

We set up a separate website and posted the petition on Facebook and eventually got over 100,000 signatures. Later, I called the White House switchboard and asked to speak to Michelle Obama’s policy director, Jocelyn Fry. I think she was a little surprised I got through to her line so easily [laughs].

It turned out to be an important call, and after the garden went in, the rest of the work was First Lady Obama’s doing. It’s not just a garden; it’s a stage for talking about the health of Americans.

This Way to Sustainability:

The two-day event will include 80 workshops, presentations and over 100 speakers ready to discuss the future of sustainable living practices, on individual and community levels. Roger Doiron is one of three keynote speakers during the event, which will be held Thursday-Friday, March 24-25.

Doiron’s speech, Eat the View: The Fight for Edible Landscapes, will be Friday, 3-4 p.m., in the Bell Memorial Union. For more information, log onto www.csuchico.edu/sustainablefuture/conference.

In your 2011 TED Talk, you call gardening a “subversive” act. Can you expand on that?

Food is energy, but it’s also power. By growing gardens, we’re growing food but also taking control and power over lives.

Who has power over finance, health and food systems? In most cases, too much of that power is in the hands of big corporations. So if we’re taking control within our communities through gardening, the community becomes more self-reliant and less affected by the control of corporations.

In that same TED Talk, you also mention the importance of the recent shift from rural to urban society. How does this affect our relationship with agriculture and food systems?

The world population is growing faster than experts predicted, and we’re becoming increasingly urbanized. Right now we have a long-distance relationship with food; the average bite of food travels 1,500 miles [from production to our mouths], and there are various ramifications of that—it’s not good for the environment, it’s not good for human health. We’re trying to find ways to bring production closer to home, and gardens can do that.

What topics will you cover in your speech on Friday?

I’m going to talk about the struggles that we’re in the midst of, but also focus on how we can get more of these gardens planted.

I’ll take people through space and time and show how gardens have inspired me, and I’ll

Small is beautiful. Small is powerful. Gardens sometimes aren’t taken as seriously as I’d like. People say, “What good comes from some raised beds in a backyard?” But little actions really do make a difference and that’s been proven time and time again. I would urge people to think big about what can be accomplished through little actions. Not everyone is cut out to grow a garden, but everyone is cut out to eat good food and play a constructive role. □

Veggie tales Michelle Rivers and Jeannie Trizzino are longtime vegans, and last year they got together to form a community of like-minded locals, the Chico Vegan Cooperative. Since opening last September, the co-op specializing in animal-free products has grown to 20 members. Rivers, who is also the founder of the Pinwheel Community Acupuncture Project, and Trizzino, a longtime vegan advocate and educator, started the group because they wanted to make it easier for the Chico community to go vegan. They found a place of operation that has room for their food and a small lending library comprising all sorts of books on veganism. The CN&R sat down with Rivers and Trizzino (pictured, left and right, respectively) to learn about the co-op and the search to find a commercial kitchen space to better serve its members. Find more information about the Chico Vegan Co-op online at chicovegancoop.org.

Why did you decide to go vegan?

Trizzino: I’ve been vegan for 27 years, and I do it because I hate the way we treat animals. I would never want my cat or dog to be treated the way we treat the animals that feed us.

Rivers: And same here. I realized nine years ago that I could help make an impact, however small, on the world, and this is my way. I, and with the co-op, strive to reduce harm and suffering by going back to a plant-based diet.

How does the co-op work?

Rivers: It runs on a two-week cycle, and completely by volunteers.

Members pay an annual fee of $25, and then they have access to the health-food software. Every two weeks, the orders begin anew, and the members go online and start picking what they want. They chat with each other about new things to try or if someone wants to split [an order], and even making sure everything they order is vegan. Then, when the [food] gets delivered, volunteers split the food based off the orders, write up individual invoices, and then members pick up their food.

What is the vegan community like in Chico?

Trizzino: I’ve been a big advocate for veganism for 27 years. I run the Chico Vegan Meetups and

potlucks, and I collaborate on a vegan-themed radio show. There is a community here; it’s just small.

We hope to continue to draw people in with a vast amount of knowledge and how-to, and to really encourage people to think about the impact they are making by eating animal products.

How do you want the co-op to grow?

Rivers: We need a commercial kitchen space so we can deal with raw foods and offer cooking classes. Our space now is good for what we do, but if we got a commercial kitchen space, we would be able to do so much more. I want to see the co-op reach out to those who are looking for a way to be more environmentally conscious with what they put in their body.

Over the past three weeks, I’ve spent a lot of hours in Oroville. Most of them were sitting in a courtroom, where I was observing the trial of Zir Weems, accused—and convicted—of killing his beautiful wife, Angelica.

When I wasn’t in the courtroom, however, and had a lunch hour to fill, I did a little exploring, sticking mainly to downtown because it isn’t all that far from the courthouse. The first thing I wanted to see was the progress that’s been made on the Oroville Inn. Last summer, I wrote a cover story about the renovation (see “Restoration Oroville,” June 11) by well-known local developer Bud Tracy, and I’ll say, the building’s looking pretty awesome these days.

Letters spelling “Oroville Inn” now adorn the side of the building, all the scaffolding has been removed, and the red lead paint has been stripped from the façade, including from the decorative medallions. It also appears the exterior has received a new coat of paint—it all looks so white and new!

While wandering the streets near the inn, I noticed a number of cool shops, salons and restaurants, including a new place for pho that looked hip and fairly busy. A sign in front of a Myers Street storefront that’s part of the quaint, Garden Walk Mall-style Prospectors Alley advertises the future opening of Butte County Wine Co. I’ll keep you posted when I learn more.

My mini walking tour took me around the corner to Montgomery Street, where I spied a “grand opening” sign in the window of Manzanita Market. The place looked cute, so I went in to check it out. Owner Kayla Jones wasn’t in that day, but I got a nice introduction to the shop from her employee, Kayla Mazza. The front of the store is filled with mostly home décor items for sale, and there’s an entire bookshelf set aside for locally made goodies. But the back of the store is where the fun resides.

The shelves are filled with wine glasses, vases, mason jars, greeting cards and more. And a large table is set up in the middle and covered with crafting supplies, from markers and pencils to paints and paintbrushes, stamps and inks, that are free for customers to use. There’s nothing more annoying than going to the craft store and buying a bunch of supplies for one project and then never using them again. So, at Manzanita Market, that problem is solved! They’re also in the process of fixing up the back room for classes and private parties. Stop in at 1967 Montgomery St. or stalk them online at www.facebook.com/manzanitamarketoroville.

All Fired Up is closing. As far as I can tell, the paint-your-own pottery spot is open while it redistributes assets—it’s owned by the Work Training Center.

Not only did it offer local crafty types a space to get creative, it also benefited the developmentally disabled clients at WTC. It will be missed.

elebratory cries were heard throughout chico State’s Student Services center on the morning of March 9 as word spread quickly: The university’s next president would be Gayle hutchinson. Some people even danced a little.

So related Mimi Bommersbach, a longtime chico State counselor, who temporarily came out of retirement this semester to help with the counseling center’s high volume of student patients. “People who have felt jaded forever are suddenly feeling hopeful,” she said, “even giddy with a sense of relief.”

Gayle Hutchinson, Chico State’s next president, is technically an outside hire, but she served in various roles at the university for 23 years.

Chico State’s next president, Gayle Hutchinson, intends to unite the fractured university The reaction is due partially to familiarity. Most of Hutchinson’s 25-year career in higher education has been at Chico State. And after a relatively brief stint as a senior administrator elsewhere in the CSU system, she’ll be back in a big way. Her first day as Chico State’s chief, July 1, will be a homecoming of sorts.

Many hope it will also turn the page on Chico State’s rocky recent history.

Some faculty and staff members, like Bommersbach, are sour on Chico State’s current administration, led by President Paul Zingg since 2004. (In light of a series of serious health complications, Zingg is retiring at the end of June.)

They point to things like the Campus Climate Survey, conducted in 2015, which revealed widespread workplace dissatisfaction and generally low morale rooted in longstanding issues such as salary inequity, bullying and intimidation on the part of university officials, and a lack of transparency from upper management.

Over the past two years, members of the Academic Senate have further spotlighted a lack of shared decision-making when it comes to hiring high-ranking executives who have been turning over at an alarming rate. It all came to a head on Dec. 10, when the senate took the unprecedented step of delivering a vote of no confidence in not only Zingg, but also two of his top executives: Interim Provost Susan Elrod and Lorraine Hoffman, vice president for business and finance.

Then there’s the matter of pay. Chico State faculty members, along with their colleagues throughout the CSU system, are set to strike in mid-April if their demand for a 5 percent raise isn’t met by the CSU Chancellor’s Office.

In other words, it’s a tumultuous time to be assuming responsibility of the university. But Hutchinson knows the campus and the community well; she worked at Chico State for 23 years

in various roles: faculty member, chair of the Department of Kinesiology, dean of the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences, and member of the Academic Senate. In 2013, she left to become provost and vice president of academic affairs at CSU Channel Islands in Ventura County.

With the appointment, Hutchinson, 58, will become the first female president of Chico State, a major public figure in the North State and the leader of arguably the city’s most vital institution.

She says she’s ready for the pressure.

From her office at CSU Channel Islands, Hutchinson spoke with the CN&R by phone—she’s yet to visit campus since the hiring—and discussed her traits as a person and a leader, her priorities once she takes the reins, challenges the university must confront and how she plans to set Chico State’s course for the future.

What do you do for fun?

Fun? Well, I love working. That’s one thing I do for fun. I’m very passionate about my work. I also love to cycle, and I’ve picked up surfing down here. I love to golf. I’ve become a bird enthusiast, although I’m just starting to learn about birds. I love music; let’s say I’m a perpetual beginner at both piano and guitar. I also love to read, especially about economic development.

How would you describe your personality?

I’d describe myself as energetic.

I love life, I love people and I love to laugh. I love helping people strive toward their potential. I love to examine issues and work collaboratively with other people. I love diversity and finding ways to be inclusive. I think I’m very steady and calm under pressure.

What about your leadership style?

My leadership style is one of openness. I operate out of fairness and principle; I’m ethical. I believe in being

really honest with people. I am able to help develop vision with a community as well as pay attention to the details as we move forward. One of the things that’s a strength is that I understand and appreciate the landscape of change. I know that change in today’s world is a constant, and I embrace that not for change’s sake alone, but to understand the world we live in and make sure the work we do is dynamic.

I really, truly pay attention to that, not only as a leader or a president, but as a member of a community and in working together with different people.

ity, my leadership skills, my knowledge and my experience over time.

What was the selection process like?

First of all, the people. I spent 23 years in Chico, and the people there are just top-notch—very giving and concerned about students, the community and the environment. I also love

I’d like to share my appreciation for everybody who served on the search committee: the folks from Chico State’s campus, the community members, the CSU board of trustees, as well as the chancellor. They did an outstanding job. Having gone through the interviews, it was rigorous, but it allowed all of the candidates—whoever they were—a chance to step up and display our strengths and really lay out what’s important to us in terms of working at Chico State and with the community. I thought it was a really rigorous process, and my compliments to all those who were engaged in it.

What got you the job?

You know, I really don’t know. Like I said, I have a lot of energy, I’m very authentic, very genuine, sincere and knowledgeable. I love my work, and I’m passionate about student success.

I’m passionate about academics and cocurricular activities. I have acquired a lot of knowledge over the years and have a lot of practice with leading and working with folks. I love all aspects of the university, anything that helps students out—whether it’s in the classroom, support services, or in the laboratory. I feel fortunate to have been selected, but I think it’s a combination of my personal-

How have people on campus reacted to your appointment?

I’ve heard from quite a few people from the campus community, Chico and the surrounding areas. All the responses have been very, very positive. I feel a warm embrace from campus as well as the North State. It’s pretty humbling. It’s really remarkable. I feel the same way about coming back to Chico State.

What aspects of living here do you appreciate most?

My first priority is to unite the campus around a shared vision. my colleagues at the university and the work that’s being done. When you look around campus—whether it’s someone in an academic program, in student services, student government, or someone working on the grounds—everybody is enthusiastic about helping students prepare for a future as engaged citizens PRESIDENT C O N T I N U E D

as well as being productive in the workforce. I also like the way the community comes together with Chico State; there are a lot of wonderful partnerships going on with local government, industry and agriculture. I look forward to finding ways to strengthen all of those relationships, and for the university to continue to be a vibrant hub—just continue to be phenomenal.

We’ve heard that media scrutiny here is more intense than for presidents of other CSU campuses.

I think any time that you step up in a leadership position, as a leader of a university, a politician or legislator, any time you have significant responsibility, you

I think I can hit the ground sprinting.

Something’s broken at Chico State. How will you fix it?

I see my colleagues from all areas of the campus wanting to serve students to the best of their abilities. I see a campus that is waiting to have somebody unite the campus in a way that improves morale and sets the direction for the future of the campus, to move us into the future so we can continue doing an extraordinary job. We’ve been giving students awesome experiences at Chico State for 125 years. As for what’s going on specifically, I don’t know fully. I’d like to meet the campus where it is right now and, through collaboration and inclusion, unite the students, staff, faculty and administration and build a shared vision.

Staff and faculty have decried the current administration’s lack of shared decision-making.

What does “shared governance” mean to you?

Shared governance is extremely important to me. As a faculty member, department chair and member of the Academic Senate, I really appreciated the opportunity to be a part of shared governance.

I worked really closely with my faculty colleagues, the staff, student government and the administration. For me, shared governance is a chance to come together,

vision together. We can develop a strategic plan and then really get to work on moving the university forward in a way that keeps students at the center of everything that we do. We’re here to serve our students by creating access and opportunity, and also help them toward earning their degrees in four years, five years, six years. Also, I’d like to emphasize working with students where they are. We have first-year students, transfer students, students taking a timeout from school to pursue other opportunities in life. We need to address their needs no matter where they are in life, give them a fantastic experience and prepare them for what lies ahead.

Given your long history at Chico State and the connections you’ve already made, do you feel like you’ll hit the ground running on achieving those objectives?

I think I can hit the ground sprinting.

Will you partner with other schools in the area?

I think working with preschool through community college is essential. It’s not an isolated university. It really is about the entire education process, so I really welcome partnerships, maybe even earlier than preschool, such as early childhood development programs, and also with our sister community college campuses in the North State. I wish to expand those relationships to prepare our young people for the future.

What would those relationships actually entail? have opportunity to be scrutinized by the public and the media. It comes with the territory; I’m aware of that and prepared for it. President Zingg has made wonderful contributions to Chico State and the CSU system. To do that, all while being scrutinized, that’s remarkable, and I hope to do the same.

What’s your relationship like with President Zingg?

Well, he was my president for a long time. I had as much of a relationship with him as a dean or department chair does with a president. I haven’t had much contact with him since I left Chico State because I’ve been very busy here with my work at Channel Islands. In my roles at Chico State, Paul was very supportive.

seize input and consult with all of campus as we’re trying to examine issues and overcome challenges. So, I will continue to embrace shared governance, as I’ve always done, and processes that are inclusive and collaborative.

What will your top priorities be when you take over in July?

My first priority is to unite the campus around a shared vision, but I need to get to know everyone first. I’d like to spend 100 days or so on a listening campaign and hear about the challenges of folks on campus. Also, I’d like to start asking questions about where we see ourselves in the next five, 10, 15 years as a university in the North State, and then begin processes where we can start building that shared

Every single discipline on campus could be, or has been, involved with working with young children and getting them excited about the sciences, kiniesiology, the performing arts, music, the humanities.

There’s so much we can do with children and getting them ready for college. I would welcome an exploration of those areas, beginning with the superintendent of [Chico Unified School District], the administrators and presidents of community colleges. I’d like to build more effective pipelines to help children to make their way to university and earn a degree.

Will you commit to increasing diversity on campus?

I truly embrace diversity as a leader.

I think diversity and inclusiveness, when you have people from all different back-

grounds, with different ideas and perspectives, brings excellence. When I was at Chico State, I was always involved in diversity efforts. Chico State continues to have—as many universities do around the country—a lot of work to do in terms of diversity. I will step in and immediately get to work on diversifying the student population and the faculty and staff. A lot of good work has been done at Chico State looking into how issues of diversity can be worked into the curriculum. We really have a full complement of curricula and programs that are celebratory of how wonderful diversity is, but also tackle some of the challenges in that area. It’s more than increasing numbers of students—it’s about addressing the challenges of the day and doing so in a way that is sincere. Diversity is representative of a healthy community.

Is the significant and growing Hispanic population on campus a sign of progress?

Yes, I was pleased to learn that Chico State has earned Hispanic-serving institution status, meaning that the Hispanic population has increased, but I think we have to look at all the underrepresented student groups. A lot of them still need to be increased. I don’t have an answer today, but I do know it remains a challenge and it’s one of the first ones I’ll start working on with my colleagues at Chico State.

Does Chico State still deserve the party-school reputation?

This is my opinion: We changed that reputation a long time ago. The academic programs and academic rigor at Chico State are second to none. We have a reputation of being one of the best universities in the West, if not the country.

Chico State students compete against students from universities that are considered more reputable and Chico State students win in these competitions and solve problems. In my mind, Chico State is a rigorously academic institution. Yes, we do always have to deal with that party reputation, but we will continue to do so in a way that is positive and really focus on the strengths of the university—academics, co-curricular activities, athletics, student services—and promote the quality of work from our students. I think many universities today have to address issues about partying, but will we continue to focus on our strengths and do so alongside the city of Chico.

Is there a gender-equity problem among chico State’s employees?

That’s a really good question, but I don’t have the answer. That’s something we have to examine.

When you left chico State for the provost position at cSU channel Islands, what was your motivation?

When I chose to leave Chico, I had served as dean of the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences from 2007 to 2013. I had started to consider my next career move, and I decided that the college was in very good shape at that time. We had some people who were up-andcoming in leadership who could continue on. So, it felt like a good time to look at other opportunities available, and I applied for provost positions around the CSU. I accepted the one at Channel Islands and it was a wonderful move for me. I’ve had three excellent years here with extraordinary individuals. [CSU Channel Islands] President Richard Rush has been a wonderful president and person to learn from.

What have you learned at cSU channel Islands that you’ll be able to apply to being president of chico State?

The provost position brings with it the responsibility for the entire university, the cabinet and the president. Serving in this role has expanded my knowledge of university operations. It also allows me to work on my leadership skills, as I’ve been doing for a very, very long time. And it’s given me an opportunity to enhance my skills in

the area of advancement; in cultivating relationships with potential philanthropic interests in the area.

I’ve also worked with local legislators, figuring out what the needs are for the community, industry and economic development. All of that has prepared me quite well for this position as president.

are you concerned with the systemwide faculty strike set for mid-april?

I think it’s important to respect faculty and staff’s right to organize, and I do. This is something that the Chancellor’s Office is working on, and I don’t know much more than that.

how long do you anticipate being president?

Well, I intend to live to be 100-and-something, with no intention of slowing down. I’m anticipating it’ll be for a long, healthy time.

What will your legacy be when you leave?

I hope to have a united campus that embraces everyone and has appreciation for everyone. When people are able to work together in a way that is positive, it allows people to demonstrate and apply their strengths, and also learn and grow. I want it to continue to be this stellar university offering amazing opportunities for students.

At this point, I haven’t really thought much about a legacy. I just want us to do what we do best— serve students. Ω

over,” Caput said. “Seattle, San Francisco, local, a couple from the other side of the country. [They’ll be] giving talks on some of the latest and greatest hacking techniques; things that they have done.”

NorCon’s keynote speaker is Billy Rios, a hacker who was recently featured in a Forbes magazine article detailing his work exposing potentially fatal security flaws in hospitals.

“There’s no security on any of these devices,” Caput said, “[You can] basically [send] a signal to it, telling the insulin pump to keep pumping or telling the EKG to stop. … That was his big exposé, which he did on a couple of hospitals that he assessed.”

Among the other presentations will be talks on coding, InfoSec (information security), the corporate takeover of the hacker community, and how-tohack gift cards.

The convention will provide an opportunity to learn hacking basics. Caput says

he’s has run into several people who claim they can hack, but, in reality, are hacks.

“People want to be a part of the group, so they pretend like they know what they are doing, but a lot of them don’t,” he said. “So this convention is going to have introductory stuff in the beginning.”

Most of the hacking the public hears about is of the ill-intentioned variety— a notion that is reinforced by bad-guy

CLIMATE CHANGE AS A UNIFYING MOVEMENT: Panel discussion of

stereotypes in movies—but Caput believes that most hackers are not looking to do harm. “[Hacking is] a very boring process.

It takes a lot of time. But once you get it done, it’s pretty cool. … We’re not listening to techno and we are not going to parties and raves,” he said (as multicolored lights flashed and electronic music loudly played in the Idea Fab Labs). “[We’re] very technical. … Most of us are introverted.”

Caput said that DC530 strongly supports personal privacy and freedom of information, and that the group backs whistleblowers, such as Edward Snowden, the former U.S. government contractor who exposed mass-surveillance programs targeting American email, cellphone and Internet-search data.

“We loosely support Anonymous and their goals,” he added, referring to the well-known, but mysterious hacktivist group. “We believe in freedom of information and the flow of information—a lot of libertarian principles in the group.

“We are trying to build a community here of like-minded people who have an interest in security, privacy, hacking, and [NorCon] will be the start of something bigger,” Caput said. “[We want to] teach them how I do it, how these other people have careers in this field now, and [hopefully] that might spark some interest in a few people and start them on a FDUHHU SDWK ³ Ɛ

READING OFF KEY The Bookstore in downtown Chico is more than just a place to buy books; it’s a local institution, and one so revered that Chicoans donated tens of thousands of dollars to save it from closure in 2013. The new owners have made good on their promise to further develop the store as a community space, holding regular poetry readings and other bookcentric events. Tonight, March 24, the store hosts Literary Karaoke, inviting participants to read up to two pages from a book of their choice, or one randomly selected off of the shelves.

What’s going on in Dublin?

Getting to the dark heart in Irish ‘fairy tale’ Theatre’s current producGtion,Room which features a catastrophiazing at the stage of the Blue

cally unmade bed, and strewn with assorted furniture, by unwashed dishCarey Wilson es, laundry and other detritus of an unkempt life, one can’t Review: The Night Alive shows help but think, Thursday-Saturday, “What’s going 7:30 p.m., through on here?” The March 26, at the scene is the Blue Room.

Tickets: $15-$18 chaotic inte(Thursdays, rior of a Dublin pay-what-you-can, apartment that $5 minimum) director/set designer Amber Blue Room Theatre 139 W. First St. Miller has 895-3749 crafted for Conor www.blueroom McPherson’s theatre.com The Night Alive, and as narratives by the Irish playwright (The Weir, The Seafarer) often do, there is a whole lot more to the setting than meets the eye.

As McPherson is quoted in the show’s program, “When I had the first idea for the play, I saw it as a kind of Charles Dickens story. …

It’s very old-fashioned and traditional. … It’s almost like a fairy tale.”

Blending Dickens’ penchant for pointed social commentary with

elements of a fairy tale and setting the result in present-day Ireland is a worthy dramatic challenge. The narrative begins when the tenant of the apartment, Tommy (Joe Hilsee), returns from going out for a late night snack of chips (supplied by The Banshee pub down the block) with a battered young woman in tow. If Tommy is a dubious blend of knight in shining armor touched with a bit of conniving ogre or shambling giant, his guest, Aimee (Julia Rauter), is not only the damsel in distress but also the redeeming fairy and, perhaps to some, the wicked enchantress.

Tommy’s compatriot in getrich schemes and collaborator on odd jobs, Doc (Rob Wilson), bears the name of the leader of Snow White’s seven dwarfs, and like that Disney character, he sometimes amusingly bumbles and stammers while expressing his wisdom and insight, losing his train of thought mid-sentence. Doc’s thoughts, Tommy says, “will always, always, be five to 10 minutes behind everybody else.”

Maurice (Roger Montalbano) is both Tommy’s landlord and uncle who doesn’t hesitate to express his disapproval of his nephew’s slovenly habits and ramshackle life choices. Maurice is wounded by his own grief and loss, and bears guilt of his wife’s death—she slipped

on ice after he refused to take her hand because, at the time of the accident, they “weren’t speaking.”

His drunken breakdown on coming home from an anniversary mass commemorating her death—which is attended by only three people— leads to a touching moment.

The action of the play stirringly and gracefully fluctuates between comic moments, genuinely sentiment-laden sadness, and, with the entry of Aimee’s abusive boyfriend, Kenneth (Nick Anderson), disturbing violence. Part-time prostitute Aimee is a catalyst for many kinds of release, including getting Tommy to admit, after having received sexual satisfaction via her skilled hand, that full copulation, with “all that huffing and puffing, [is] so unbecoming.”

The key scene occurs when Tommy hears Marvin Gaye’s classic soul-searching song, “What’s Going On,” and rises in a dance that takes him, and eventually Aimee and Doc, out of their tragic present and into a world where there’s at least the possibility of momentary peace.

“Marvin, you said it there, man,” Tommy says in response to the song’s chorus/title. “That is the question. The man who answers that one will ...” He never completes the statement, leaving it open for us to decide. □

Disaster in the fjords

The Wave Video on demand (DirectTV, amazon Prime, etc.)

by Juan-Carlos Selznick

The Wave, from Norway, makes the topography of that country—with its fjords and rock formations— into one of the chief characters in a smartly appointed, briskly paced thriller.

It’s also been promoted as a “disaster movie,” the disaster here being a tsunami (hence the title) resulting from a massive rock slide in one of those fjords. Director Roar Uthaug and company are 30

old trying to look like an adult, has never looked or acted his age, and still doesn’t.

Big Holiday, written by Reubens and Paul Rust and directed by John Lee, effortlessly resurrects farcical Pee-wee at his best while also managing to generate an underlayer of dark comedy that touches on the character puzzles of both Pee-wee and the actor who plays him.

Best of all, there’s a wealth of comic invention in the story itself. Pee-wee is traveling cross-country for the birthday party of his adored new friend Joe Manganiello (played by Manganiello himself). Along the way, Pee-wee has frolicsome encounters with Farmer Brown and his nine man-hungry daughters, the crew at the Freewheelin’ Mobile Hair Salon, a neurotic mountain man who calls himself Grizzly Bear Daniels, Peggy King (the Door Bell heiress) and her flying car, Gordon the Traveling Salesman, and the all-girl gang of very butch bank robbers whose names are Bella, Pepper and Freckles. □

working with something less than a blockbuster budget, but they still deliver levels of spectacle and suspense worthy of those genre designations.

The drama in this case is heightened by the fact that key characters are part of a group in charge of monitoring seismic activity at a very remote fjord.

Kristian (Kristoffer Joner) is just about to leave that group for a job in another area when he notices signs of an unusual seismic disturbance. He takes immediate action, first investigating the site of the disturbance up close and then racing to alert the villagers, tourists and members of his family who are in the path of the impending big wave.

Screenwriters John Kare Raake and Harald Rosenlow-Eeg fold some piquant family drama into the story. Kristian’s wife, Irun (Ane Dahl Torp),

seems the more capable and selfpossessed of the two. Their sulking teenage son (Jonas Hoff Oftebro) and angelic small daughter (Edith Haagenrud-Sande) are both imperiled in the film’s climactic action, and both parents have to make risky choices in the course of the ensuing rescues and escapes.

The writers also add touches of drama around the local community’s rather scattered and disjunctive reactions to an unfolding calamity that is both long anticipated and very nearly unforeseen. In a way, that part of the story is scarier, and hits closer to home, than the eponymous monster itself. □

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2

Alien invasion?— happening on the surface. A “blood relative” but not sequel to Cloverfield. Cinemark 14, Feather River Cinemas and Paradise Cinema 7. Rated PG-13.

Deadpool

The third film adapted from the young-adult dystopian sci-fi series written by Veronica Roth, this one finding the protagonists outside the walled city of Chicago fighting to save all of humanity. Cinemark 14, Feather River Cinemas and Paradise Cinema 7. Rated PG-13.

The latest Marvel superhero film is based on a former special-forces operative who, after undergoing an experimental treatment to cure his cancer, is accidentally mutated into Deadpool (played here by Ryan Reynolds), a somewhat unstable antihero with accelerated healing powers. Cinemark 14 and Feather River Cinemas. Rated R.

The story of The Taliban Shuffle: Strange Days in Afghanistan and Pakistan, the memoir by Kim Barker on which Whiskey Tango Foxtrot—a comedy/drama about a female reporter’s “strange days” as a war correspondent in the Middle East—is based, makes a very lively vehicle for its star, Tina Fey. Barker was a print journalist working for a newspaper in Chicago; Fey’s Kim Baker is a writer for a second-level TV news outlet.

In the memoir and the film, Kim sees the Afghanistan assignment as a great career break, plunges into it all with surprising zeal, and then nearly flames out on three years’ worth of the adrenaline rushes that go with 24-hour cycles of risky behavior. There’s satire aplenty (with the military, the media, corrupt officials, male chauvinists and naïve careerists as special targets), but much of it gets soft-pedaled. By the finish, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot seems intent on retreating to the relatively safe territory of a mildly quirky romantic comedy. Cinemark 14.

Rated R —J.C.S.

The Young Messiah

A biblical drama about a 7-year-old Jesus who leaves Egypt for Nazereth with his parents and begins to find out the truth about his life. Based on Anne Rice’s 2005 book Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt. Cinemark 14. Rated PG-13.

people because they consume Isoother much red wine, then the Portuguese f the French truly live longer than

can’t be far behind. There, the average man and woman drinks 60 bottles of wine per year. Only France, Italy and Luxembourg exceed this per capita rate. The country is one-fifth the size of California, yet grows about the same acreage of grapevines. Hundreds of indigenous varieties occur there—and winemaking itself began in Portugal more than a millennium before the French or Italians ever purpled their hands, feet or carpets.

In spite of its vinicultural street cred and despite its well-known port—the brandy-fortified dessert wine—Portugal has remained a relatively quiet player through the modern global wine craze, and its other wines are only beginning to trickle into Chico. Wine Time (26 Lost Dutchman Drive), the north Chico wine bar, currently features one, a red blend called Vale do Bomfim from Dow’s ($6/glass), while the just-opened Unwined at 980 (980 Mangrove Ave.) doesn’t yet carry any Portuguese varietals (other than port).

And at Chico’s major wine retailers—BevMo and Trader Joe’s—Portuguese wines have only a slightly surer foothold. The former currently carries many of the young, light and summery vinho verde styles, as does the latter, in addition to a red table wine, the Tuella Douro ($5.99). All are fine entryways for newbies into Portugal’s wine world.

Deeper into this wine-dark land, one will encounter region names like Dão, Bairrada, Alentejo, Tejo and Lisboa. The most reputable region may be Douro, origin of port dessert wines.

Vinho verde is the summery, drinkable star of the north. There, grapevines are often trained up fences, trees and telephone poles in a rustic, guerilla-style approach to wine-growing that likely will not appear in California.

But there are Portuguese grapes increasingly taking root around California as winemakers take greater interest in exploring new varieties. Hottest among these is a burly red-wine grape by the name of touriga nacional.

Traditionally reserved for port-style sweet wines, touriga

nacional can be fermented to dryness and may be shaping up to become the red-wine superstar of Portugal, with shoulders broad enough to bump a Napa Valley cab off the table and with enough presence to draw the spotlight from Spain’s tempranillo. In the Sierra foothills, Wise Villa Winery, Bumgarner Winery and Jeff Runquist Wines have each made a touriga nacional.

Statewide, a miniscule 258 acres of the variety are grown (the state’s cabernet sauvignon acreage tops 80,000), though just a decade ago that figure was closer to zero. In El Dorado Hills, at Shaker Ridge Vineyards, Andy Standeven grows five Portuguese varietals, including touriga nacional, which he sells to several wineries. Standeven notes that marketing a new variety at the retail level is not always easy in established wine markets.

“It’s very hard to break a new varietal into the people’s vocabulary,” said Standeven. “Someone has to experiment with these new grapes.”

Winemaker Stuart Spencer is doing just this at St. Amant Winery in Lodi. Spencer’s family vineyard, best known for zinfandel, includes 25 acres of touriga nacional and other Portuguese grapes, such as souza, verdelho, tinta francisca, bastardo, and tinta cão.

“These wines can be great, but they’re still a hard sell,” Spencer acknowledged. “You need to have people taste them if they’re going to buy them. They won’t just jump up and move off the shelf.” □

IN THE MIX Post Pop Depression Iggy Pop Loma Vista Iggy Pop has led a life of detours and reinventions. But even when he does go down a certain path—be it with Bowie, or the B-52s’ Kate Pierson—it’s still 100 percent Iggy. Over the past few years, the ironclad frontman found closure with his earliest music project The Stooges—with mixed results. This time around, Pop has found Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age, and together they’ve made his best rock album in decades. Post Pop Depression doesn’t simply plunk down in the punk sump. Instead, it’s a playful and loose stroll through different styles and textures, from the plastic soul of “Gardenia” to the druggy desert vibe of “Vulture.”

Pop’s crustier croon serves the songs well, and his lyrics are still cheeky even when dealing with what feels like a shirtless punk writing his final chapter. The irony is that Post Pop Depression might just be a new beginning.

Exploding Kittens Exploding Kittens, LLC Board game With the distinct boast of being the “Mostbacked Kickstarter Project Ever” (nearly $9 million in pledges), this card game is a true product of the Internet. However, the Internet influences don’t end there. Created by Elan Lee (formerly of Xbox), Matthew Inman (The Oatmeal) and Shane Small (Marvel game designer), Exploding Kittens is a twisted viral cat video full of tacocat palindromes, unicorns and rainbow barf. It’s everything the Internet loves. Gameplay is simple—think Uno with a random chance to lose every turn—and, with an expansion, it’s scalable for two to nine players. If someone plays a card you don’t like, respond with a “NOPE” card and shut it down. The lighthearted humor and simple rules make it great for larger groups, but the game can drag on a bit too long with only two or three players. Optional rules add some depth, but don’t expect a test of skill—the real appeal is in random, underdog wins and screwing over everyone else. Again, just like the Internet.

Capri Records Noted mostly for his clarinet playing on a discography of some 50 recordings, multireedman Ken Peplowski plays tenor sax on four of the 10 tunes on his new album, Enrapture. With his working group of a year or so—pianist Ehud Asherie, bassist Martin Wind and drummer Matt Wilson—Peplowski shows his stuff on a variety of songs. Except for Duke Ellington’s “The Flaming Sword” (a snappy samba) and a lively version of ex-Weather Report’s Peter Erskine’s “Twelve,” the tempos are relaxed. On the Lennon/Ono ballad “Oh, My Love,” Peplowski engages in a lovely duet with bassist Wind. The album’s eclectic flavor is highlighted by a wistful rendition of Bernard Herrmann’s “Vertigo Scene d’Amour,” with Peplowski’s evocative clarinet the perfect choice.

He ruminates on tenor sax on the Barry Manilow/ Johnny Mercer sweet lament “When October Goes.” Fats Waller’s atypical “Willow Tree” gives both Wind (playing arco) and Wilson a chance to shine. Pianist Asherie provides strong support throughout on this truly delightful album.

8TH ANNUAL BIKE ISSUE

chico area Music Voting for the 2016 CaMMiEs started today! (Visit www. newsreview.com/cammies for the link.) When you visit the voting page, you will see, as has been mentioned already in these pages, there are fewer voting categories from which to choose this year. In fact, you’ll see only one: Best Local Act. No more genre categories. No more nominees. All local acts currently playing original music are eligible (sorry, cover bands, it’s not fair for local songwriters to have to compete against Lennon, McCartney, etc.).

You have until April 24 to vote, and arts dEVo challenges you to be brave and not simply go with your standby or rep your friend’s band. Get out and hear some live local music, or at least go visit the Chico Bands website run by scene impresario sesar sanchez (at www.chicobands.tumblr.com) and explore some new music and make an informed choice. It’s your patriotic duty!

The CN&R will reveal the people’s choice winner—along with a bunch of critics’ choice awards—at this year’s CaMMiEs Finale & awards show, Sunday, May 1, on the bucolic grounds of Patrick Ranch south of Chico. It’s going to be a free outdoor festival, featuring 13 local acts—including the fun, superadorable Irish/American folk trio, odd Little Egret (pictured)—on two stages (see page 21 for lineup), food trucks and some tasty adult beverages for sale.

And leading up to that culminating show of what the CN&R is now calling the Chico area Music Festival, will be 10 days of local shows hosted by area venues. We’ll be including a program in the April 21 issue of the newspaper, and already are compiling an online Odd Little Egret calendar of shows at the CN&R CAMMIES website as well as at www.facebook.com/chicocammies/ events. Local venues are pulling out all the stops and there are some eclectic and pretty epic shows in the works.

And to get you in the mood for all this local-music fun, check out this week’s episode of Banana Grape stomp—Bill deBlonk’s live-music public television program documenting Nor Cal concerts—which will feature highlights from last year’s CAMMIES finale at the Chico Women’s Club. Tune in to KiXE (channel 9) Saturday, March 26, at 10 p.m.

Chico is one of the best bike towns in the U.S. and locals and students alike are peddling where they need to go more than ever.

on my Facebook wall: “Your favorite song ever by a Chico band?� I tagged a handful of friends, and was quickly inundated with an outpouring of localmusic love—more than 500 responses in 24 hours. Since then, I’ve let myself get lost in local playlists, revisiting a lot of the old songs (superstar ’80s-’90s indie-pop four-piece Vomit Launch still rules the universe, with at least a half-dozen tunes I’d put on my list of personal faves), and digging into the songsmiths currently writing Chico’s soundtrack—Bran Crown, Chris Keene (surrogate), aric Jeffries (solar Estates), Kelly Brown and Lisa Marie (skin Peaks, Bunnymilk), donald Beaman, to name a few.

I’ve kind of become obsessed with discovering every quintessential Chico song— from whatever spark ’n’ Cinder’s signature jam was to which Keene tune sings to the most local hearts. So, what do you readers think? What’s the best Chico song? Share with Arts DEVO at the email address above.

For the week oF march 24, 2016 ARIES (March 21-April 19): When Orville

and Wilbur Wright were kids, their father gave them a toy helicopter powered by a rubber band. The year was 1878. Twentyfive years later, the brothers became the first humans to sail above the earth in a flying machine. They testified that the toy helicopter had been a key inspiration as they worked to develop their pioneering invention. In the spirit of the Wright Brothers’ magic seed, Aries, I invite you to revive your connection to a seminal influence from your past. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to feed a dream that was foreshadowed in you a long time ago.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “The task

of a writer is not to solve the problem but to state the problem correctly,” said Russian writer Anton Chekhov. Whether or not you’re a writer, Taurus, that is also your special task in the coming weeks. The riddle that has begun to captivate your imagination is not yet ripe enough for you to work on in earnest. It has not been defined with sufficient clarity. Luckily, you have the resources you need to research all the contingencies, and you have the acuity to come up with a set of empowering questions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The good

news is that if you eat enormous amounts of chocolate, you will boost your memory.

Science has proved it. The bad news is that in order to get the full effect of the memory enhancement, you would have to consume so much chocolate that you would get sick. I propose that we consider this scenario as a metaphor for what may be going on in your life. Is it possible you’re doing things that are healthy for you in one way but that diminish you in another?

Or are you perhaps getting or doing too much of a good thing—going to unbalanced extremes as you pursue a worthy goal? Now is a favorable time to figure out if you’re engaged in such behavior, and to change it if you are.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): When the

young director Richard Lester got his big break, he took full advantage. It happened in 1964, when the early Beatles asked him to do their first movie, A Hard Day’s Night.

Lester’s innovative approach to the project propelled his career to a higher level that brought him many further opportunities. Writing of Lester’s readiness, critic Alexander Walker said, “No filmmaker … appeared more punctually when his hour struck.” That’s what I hope you will soon be doing in your own chosen field, Cancerian. Do you understand how important it will be to have impeccable timing? No procrastination or hemming and hawing, please. Be crisply proactive.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): As a young man,

the poet Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891) left his home in France and settled in Abyssinia, which these days is known as Ethiopia. “I sought voyages,” he wrote, “to disperse the enchantments that had colonized my mind.” You might want to consider a similar strategy in the coming weeks, Leo. From an astrological perspective, it’s going to be an excellent time both to wander free of your usual haunts and to disperse the enchantments that have colonized your mind. Why not find ways to synergize these two opportunities?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): At one

point in his life, author C. S. Lewis had a rude awakening as he took stock of the progress he thought he had been making.

“I am appalled to see how much of the change I thought I had undergone lately was only imaginary,” he wrote. I want to make sure that something similar doesn’t happen to you, Virgo. You’re in the midst of what should be a Golden Age of SelfTransformation. Make sure you’re actually doing the work that you imagine you’re doing—and not just talking about it and thinking about it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “There are

questions that you don’t ask because you’re afraid of the answers,” wrote Agatha Christie. I would add that there are also questions you don’t ask because

by rob brezsny you mistakenly think you already know the answers. And then there are questions you don’t ask because their answers would burst your beloved illusions, which you’d rather preserve. I’m here to urge you to risk posing all these types of questions, Libra. I think you’re strong enough and smart enough, and in just the right ways, to deal constructively with the answers.

I’m not saying you’ll be pleased with everything you find out. But you will ultimately be glad you finally made the inquiries.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): If you

are enmeshed in a jumble that makes you squirm or if you are caught in a tangle that stifles your self-love, you have three choices. Here’s how Eckhart Tolle defines them: (1) Get out of the situation. (2) Transform the situation. (3) Completely accept the situation. Does that sound reasonable, Scorpio? I hope so, because the time has come to act. Don’t wait to make your decision. Do it soon. After that, there will be no whining allowed. You can no longer indulge in excuses. You must accept the consequences. On the bright side, imagine the new freedom and power you will have at your disposal.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Here’s a proposed experiment. Sidle up to a creature you’d love to be closer to, and softly sing the following lyrics: “Come with me, go with me. Burn with me, glow with me. Sleep with me, wake with me.”

At this point, run three circles around the creature as you flap your arms like a birds’ wings. Then continue your singing: “Rise with me, fall with me. Work with me, play with me. Pray with me, sin with me.”

At this point, leap up into the air three times, unleashing a burst of laughter each time you hit the ground. Continue singing: “Let me get high with you. Laugh with you, cry with you. Make me your partner in crime.” At this point blow three kisses toward the creature, then run away. (P.S. The lyrics I’m quoting here were composed by songwriter Fran Landesman.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “We

teach each other how to live.” Poet Anne Michaels said that, and now I’m passing it on to you—just in time for the phase of your cycle when acting like a curious student is your sacred duty and your best gift to yourself. I don’t necessarily mean that you should take a workshop or enroll in a school. Your task is to presume that everyone you meet and every encounter you have may bring you rich learning experiences. If you’re willing to go as far as I hope you will, even your dreams at night will be opportunities to get further educated. Even your vigils in front of the TV. Even your trips to the convenience store to buy ice cream.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In her

poem “Time,” Piscean poet Lia Purpura wonders about “not picking up a penny because it’s only a little luck.” Presumably she is referring to a moment when you’re walking down a street and you spy an almost-but-not-quite-worthless coin lying on the concrete. She theorizes that you may just leave it there. It adds next to nothing to your wealth, right? Which suggests that it also doesn’t have much value as a symbol of good fortune. But I urge you to reject this line of thought in the coming weeks, Pisces. In my astrological opinion, you’ll be wise to capitalize on the smallest opportunities. There will be plenty of them, and they will add up.

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

getting energy from food, we humans have at our disposal over 50,000 edible plants.

And yet we choose to concentrate on just a few. Wheat, corn, rice and potatoes make up two-thirds of our diet, and 11 other staples comprise most of the rest.

Let’s use this as a metaphor for the kind of behavior you should avoid in the coming weeks. I think it will be crucial for you to draw physical, emotional and spiritual sustenance from a relatively wide variety of sources. There’s nothing wrong with your usual providers, but for now you need to expand your approach to getting the nurturing you need.

NOTICES NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE VERNA A. PYE aka VERNA ADELE PYE To all heirs and beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: VERNA A. PYE aka VERNA ADELE PYE A Petition for Probate has been filed by: HAROLD O. PYE in the Superior Court of California, County of Butte.

The Petition for Probate requests that: HAROLD O. PYE be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate.

The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

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

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: March 29, 2016 Time: 9:00a.m.

Dept: Probate Address of the court: Superior Court of California County of Butte 1775 Concord Ave. Chico, CA 95926.

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

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

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

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

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

Love’s Real estate

Disclosure Test

Sellers are required by law to provide buyers with a Real Estate Transfer Disclosure Statement, answering questions designed to reveal defects and problems with the property.

Here’s a test. Below are examples of sellers’ disclosure statements that made us scratch our heads.

Guess which are real disclosures made by real sellers and which are fake: 1. Are you (Seller), aware of any noise problems or other nuisances?

A) My neighbor is a liberal commie and puts up offensive political signs every year.

B) The guy two doors down is a real problem. He calls the police every time I drag race my Camaro with my buddies in the street.

2. Features shared in common with adjoining landowners such as walls, fences, driveways?

A) The next door guy borrows my tools all the time.

B) The gold mine on the 100-acre piece up the road originates on my property, and that miner owes me at least half the gold he got out.

3. Any settling, slippage, sliding or other soil problems?

A) Every year the leaves fall off the trees and make a mess all over the ground.

B) A hydraulic engineer wrote up a ridiculous report claiming the pond at the top of the hill is held by an earthen dam that is not adequate for the water weight behind it. We did our own research. The cracks are natural.

Send in your answers on a $20 bill and I will reveal the truth. However, in the interest of full disclosure, I must tell you: they are all real.
