California’s message to D.C. Something must be done to stop the scourge of shooting deaths.

High stakes on the railways W

ater is the most precious resource we have

here in Northern California, and recently the voters of Butte County voted overwhelmingly to protect it by banning hydraulic fracturing (fracking).

Seventy-two percent of us— Republicans and Democrats, men and women, young and old— understood the dangers fracking presents to our water and decided not to allow it here.

But an even bigger threat to our water supply is still rolling through our county every day on old, crumbling rail lines. In the by last five years there have been Jake Davis 35 oil train accidents across The author runs a North America. As the recent community garden 16-car derailment in Mosier, and is co-founder of Ore., illustrates, hauling crude Chico350. oil on aging railways is dangerous. In that accident, four cars ruptured and leaked 42,000 gallons of Bakken crude into nearby waterways.

Here in Butte County, hundreds of rail cars filled with oil travel the steep, rocky corridor along

Highway 70 every week; right above the Feather River. If such a spill were to happen here, that oil would run into Lake Oroville, polluting water that 23 million Californians depend on.

And then there’s another issue. The motivation for our fracking ban and the concerns over these oil trains are both mostly due to how they will affect us locally (i.e., our water). But these things also represent a much bigger, much more dangerous threat to most life on the planet: climate change.

The U.S. Navy has determined the Arctic will be mostly ice-free by 2019. Superstorms, flooding, heat waves and drought are all becoming more frequent and much more intense. Virtually every new study finds that climate change is happening faster than we even thought possible. We simply have to stop burning fossil fuels. And one way we can help do that locally is to stop them from coming through our county.

Time is short, the stakes incredibly high. Please help us stop these trains. To join local efforts visit Chico350.org or search for Chico350 on Facebook.

The public is invited to learn more during screenings of two films on the subject, followed by a panel discussion, at 7 p.m. Sunday, July 10, at the Pageant Theatre. □

This isn’t a controversial statement anymore. The United States has gone through too many tragedies and mourned too many victims to allow gun ownership with so few restrictions.

Gun owners and peaceniks rarely agree, yet you’ll find them among the 90 percent of Americans who want some form of background check before just anyone can buy a gun. Still, even that popular step can’t get traction in Congress; Democrats mounted a filibuster and a sit-in simply to get Republicans to consider voting. The GOP balked.

Locals tried a similar tactic with North State Rep. Doug LaMalfa.

Tuesday (July 5), nearly two dozen Butte County Democrats gathered to “occupy” LaMalfa’s field office in Oroville for a couple of hours to demand “common-sense legislation to prevent gun violence.”

LaMalfa wasn’t there; were he, the effort probably would have been moot, because our congressman is big on guns and gun rights. In fact, he spent part of his Independence Day weekend at the Down Range Indoor Training Center—the Chico gun range that raised hackles for promoting a July 4 giveaway of an AR-15, a weapon similar to the one used in the Orlando shooting.

GOP entrenchment, shored up by the National Rifle Association, has relegated change to statehouses. On that front, we’re proud to be Californians.

Last Friday (July 1), Gov. Jerry Brown signed a half-dozen gun bills.

The new state laws require background checks for purchasers of ammunition, prohibit selling semiautomatic weapons with “bullet buttons” to replace magazines, restrict loaning guns without background checks to close relatives, outlaw possessing magazines holding more than 10 rounds and increase penalties for filing false theft reports.

Brown didn’t go gun-control crazy: He vetoed five other bills passed by the Legislature. Those will appear in an initiative, pushed by Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, on the ballot in November. That’s when California—citizens, not just electeds—can send a loud message to Washington that even Congress should hear. □

Respect Mother Nature Summer is the perfect time for getting outside and enjoying some of what

makes living in the North State so great: the parks, the trails, the water!

So it seemed appropriate to dedicate this issue to outdoor adventures that involve getting wet. At the same time, after hearing about so many recent water rescues—and a few tragic deaths—we also feel it’s important to encourage safety on the water this summer.

Most of the rescues, injuries and deaths each year involve at least one bad decision, says Butte County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue Lt. Dennis Schmidt. Those include not wearing life jackets, being intoxicated, or leaving for a float or paddle too late in the day (rescue personnel generally won’t go on the water after dark for their own safety, Schmidt warns). It’s also important to understand your own limitations—maybe you can’t swim that well—and respecting the forces of nature.

We hope to have great adventures this summer, and that you do, too.

But, when you get into your kayak on the lake, or tube down the river with a group of friends, take proper precautions. Same goes for that afternoon swim in Bear Hole or wherever your favorite spot is. Too many people have become seriously injured—paralyzed even—from attempting risky feats, like jumping from the cliffs.

Have fun, but be safe about it. Now, get out there! □

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

the lists Chico has ended up on a lot of lists over the years. The infamous one, of course, is the university’s No. 1 ranking in Playboy magazine’s top party schools rundown back in 1987. That distinction will never go away. The other one that seems to stick is the city’s inclusion about a decade ago in a book titled The 100 Best Art Towns in America.

Lesser-known lists include a couple of best-biking categories (in 2012, Outside magazine rated Chico 10th for cities with great road and mountain biking, and in 2011, The Atlantic put the city in the No. 8 spot in a compilation of the nation’s top bike-commuting cities).

I’m sure Chico’s been on a bunch of other lists, too, but in the last few weeks alone, our fair city has made it onto two new ones. The first is a feel-good story on feel-good website Upworthy about “9 gorgeous, chemical-free swimming pools to dive into this summer.” Obviously, Sycamore Pool got a nod here. The iconic cement swimming hole filled with moving water from Big Chico Creek isn’t exactly ranked—rather is simply numbered six out of the nine featured spots, mostly spring-fed pools, as close as a couple of Death Valley pools to as far away as Coral Gables, Fla., where residents escape the heat in the aquifer-fed Venetian Pool.

The other list is less flattering. It comes from a source I’d never heard of—financial news and opinion website 24/7 Wall St.—and ranks Chico 48th among the “50 worst cities to live in.” Yikes. And, unlike the subjective lists we’re used to seeing, the website (see Sifter, page 9) actually appears to have done some decent homework. Check out its methodology at www.tinyurl.com/Chico48th.

What really hurt Chico—and landed it on the list—is that a “major component” of the ranking was based on financial status.

Median household income here is $40,815 annually compared with the national median of $53,657. Meanwhile, the typical home in Chico costs $275,600. That’s less expensive than the U.S. median of $290,400. However, homes here cost 6.8 times the yearly household income (nationally, houses typically cost 3.4 times the median). In other words, Chico lacks high-paying jobs and affordable housing. That’s not exactly news around these parts. Then again, it’s interesting to see how our hometown stacks up with the likes of Boston and Palo Alto, which bookend Chico, ranking 47th and 49th, respectively.

I generally don’t put a lot of stock into lists. There isn’t enough context to give a full picture. I mean, Chico could just as easily end up on a best cities list for things like its minimal traffic, low violentcrime rate, and, as Upworthy mentioned, that chemical-free public pool at One-Mile Recreation Area.

Speaking of which, this week’s cover spread, an excellent photo essay on water hotspots, is the final CN&R project by photography intern John Domogma. The Chico State student is now preparing to apply to grad school. Domogma went above and beyond to get just the right shots to include in this week’s package. He’s a go-getter who has a great eye and an even better attitude. His standard answer when asked if he was available to go on assignment: “Of course.” We’ll miss him.

Beware the big-box Re “Walmart opposition brews” (Newsline, by Meredith J. Cooper, June 30): Kudos to CN&R for helping start a public discussion on the proposed Walmart expansion. Proponents for the Walmart expansion say it will bring jobs and new tax revenue.

Studies have shown that for every two jobs Walmart creates, three jobs are lost.

As pointed out in the CN&R article, the draft EIR for this project states that the closure of FoodMaxx is not considered a significant impact.

Really? Tell that to the 80-plus employees who will lose their jobs.

And there is strong speculation a second grocery store would also close.

Stores near a new Walmart are at increased risk of going out of business. After a single Walmart opened in Chicago in September 2006, 82 of the 306 small businesses in the surrounding neighborhood had gone out of business by March 2008.

Also, there will not be an increase in tax revenue. The major portion of the expansion is grocery, and food is not taxed. The other retail sales increase is simply a shift from an existing business to Walmart’s coffers. Walmart’s ruling family, the Waltons, have a combined wealth of $144 billion, more than 42 percent of American families combined. How much more do they need?

‘Shameful’ Re “Superdelegate on Sanders” (Letters, by Bob Mulholland, June 30): It’s shocking to me that Bob Mulholland would accuse the Sanders campaign of using the ethnic makeup of this area as a criteria for coming here to speak. Sanders traveled up and down California during the primary campaign. He drew huge crowds everywhere he went—all over this state and our nation—of people from all walks of life.

The very idea of ethnically profiling a community to decide to speak there or not would be the antithesis of what his movement is about. The Sanders campaign is about economic, social, political and environmental LETTERS c o n t i n u e d

Sanders came and spoke in Chico because we are the educational, political, economic, population and cultural focal point of the North State region in between Sacramento and Redding. It’s good campaign strategy to speak in communities such as ours, as Bob Dole, Ron Paul and others have recognized over the years.

Finally, there are people who live here who have worked long and hard on the campaign and have a strong relationship with Sanders and his campaign staff, which also factored into the decision to come here. For Mulholland to suggest otherwise is shameful.

I am the Chico Running Club board member who spearheaded the campaign to save the July 4 celebration at One-Mile Recreation

Area. Considering that just over three weeks ago the announcement was out that the traditional celebration was canceled, I believe the 1,500 people, including the hundreds of kids, who attended our event had a wonderful day.

I want to thank Sheriff Kory Honea and his fabulous pancake breakfast crew, the Chico Community Band, Developmental Disabilities Sports Fund (next year’s host), Chico Noon Exchange Club, Recology and other Chico Running Club board members for working with me on this project, and my wife and fellow board member, Krista Stone, for working with me these last few weeks (and decades).

It is now time to look at our options for next year. I propose that all organizations, including the absent city of Chico, that are interested in making sure the Fourth of July celebration continues in 2017 and for decades to come contact me at Randall@RandallStone.net so we can have a public meeting to determine private fundraising, more public activities like sack

Legalize it The War on Drugs did not begin with the Nixon administration, but it certainly accelerated with the passing of the Controlled Substances Act (1970).

Subsequently, the Reagan and Bush administrations injected the war with steroids (Chasing the Scream, 2016; The New Jim Crow, 2010).

Nixon professed the war was necessary because drugs threatened society, were highly addictive and devastating to health. He made no distinction between heroin, which is indeed highly addictive and deleterious, and marijuana, which is not. In truth, Nixon’s reasons were spiteful. Blacks and hippies were Nixon’s bêtes noires. He was furious that they demonstrated against the Vietnam War and agitated for civil rights. Nixon’s actual intent is evidenced by this

quote from his domestic policy chief, John Ehrlichman, in 1994: “By getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin … we could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night….

Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

(Harpers, July 1, 2016.)

In November, Californians will have an opportunity to negate Nixon’s malfeasance and the Reagan and Bush administrations’ mean-spirited, profligate anti-drug campaigns. Vote “yes” on the marijuana referendum!

National Velvet (the TV series) has never been released on DVD, and I’ve often thought that grandchildren (and great-grandchildren) born to baby boomers would love it. As it stands now, we must be content with old photos of Carole Wells in her younger days.

EYES IN THE SKY

A large cannabis operation was busted on June 29 outside of Bangor, in the foothills near the border of Butte and Yuba counties. The grow was discovered during an aerial survey, according to a press release from the Butte County Sheriff’s Office.

Detectives from multiple agencies found a total of 5,274 marijuana plants and arrested one man at the location. A second suspect ran into the brush and escaped. The growers allegedly had diverted water from nearby creeks and stored it in an above-ground swimming pool, the release noted. The pool was covered with brush and tarps, keeping it hidden from aerial surveillance.

Rigoberto Zavala, 45, of Guanajuato, Mexico, was arrested for cultivation and possession of marijuana, along with several charges related to a short-barreled AR-15 assault rifle found on the premises. His bail has been set at $195,000.

The California Public Utilities Commission will return to Chico next Thursday (July 14) for a second local hearing on Pacific Gas & Electric’s application to raise rates in 2017. The public meeting will be at the Chico Elks Lodge, 1705 Manzanita Ave., at 6 p.m.

A previous forum on April 26 focused on residential electricity rates and also included a session on Cal Water hikes under the commission’s review (see “Sticker shock,” May 21, Newslines).

The CPUC now is accepting public comments about the entire proposal, or general rate case, submitted by the gas and electric utility to justify its requested increases. If approved by the CPUC, PG&E’s new rates would boost revenues by $333 million next year, $469 million in 2018 and $368 million more in 2019.

SPEAKER FOR THE ARTS

Local arts leader Debra Lucero was recently appointed to the board of statewide nonprofit organization Californians for the Arts.

Lucero (pictured) was one of two people elected to join the board on June 29. She is the executive director of both Friends of the Arts organization (creators of Artoberfest) in Butte County and the Shasta County Arts Council. She’s also one of the driving forces behind Chico’s newly revamped publicaccess TV station, BCAC.TV. According to a press release, Californians for the Arts’ mission is to increase public awareness and dialogue of the arts “as a critical component of their own lives and ... their communities.”

As Chico rolls out LED streetlights, national group raises relevant concerns cityscapes have been cast in a warm, Fyellow-orange glow. It’s familiar—some or decades, America’s nighttime

might say comforting—but it’s fading fast.

“It’s the only color by we’ve known because Howard Hardee streetlight technology has always been in that h owa rd h @ orange-ish color temn ew srev i ew. c o m perature,” said Skyler Lipski, Chico’s manager of public works.

“Perhaps, given the option, we all would have chosen a more neutral color—something closer to the color of moonlight.”

There are nearly 7,000 streetlights in Chico, almost all being the traditional variety known as high-intensity discharge (HID). They have been the industry standard for more than 30 years, but are inefficient compared with what’s available today. The latest technology is lightemitting diode (LED) streetlights—about 10 percent of existing U.S. streetlights have been converted to LED—and the city of Chico is getting on board.

On May 3, the Chico City Council voted 6-1 to participate in Pacific Gas & Electric’s LED Street Light Turnkey Replacement Service, through which the utility giant is offering the city $145,950 to retrofit its streetlights, bringing the city’s cost down to about $1.2 million. The project is tentatively set to roll out on Monday

(July 11), Lipski said, and will take about two months to complete.

“When all is said and done, every streetlight in Chico will be LED,” said Erik Gustafson, the city’s public works director-operations and maintenance.

LED streetlights clearly have some upside

in terms of saving money and reducing use of fossil fuels. Nevertheless, one glaring through your bedroom window may be more than annoying.

On June 14, the American Medical Association issued a warning about poorly designed, high-intensity streetlights in residential neighborhoods and potentially negative impacts on human health.

“Blue-rich LED streetlights operate at a wavelength that most adversely suppresses melatonin during night,” the statement reads. “It is estimated that white LED lamps have five times greater impact on circadian sleep rhythms than conventional street lamps.” The AMA goes on to cite big data studies that have linked brighter lighting in residential neighborhoods to reduced sleep times, dissatisfaction with quality of sleep, excessive sleepiness, impaired daytime functioning and obesity.

In some cities, there’s been public pushback. The city of Davis, for example, recently replaced about 650 LED streetlights due to widespread outcry.

During a phone conversation with the CN&R, Mitch Sears, sustainability program manager in Davis, said that the city installed about 200 LED streetlights as part of a pilot program in 2011. They seemed generally well-received; at least, no one was complaining.

The lights had a color temperature of 4,000 kelvins (K). (The higher the color temperature rating, the higher content of blue light there is, and the whiter the light appears.) Based on the pilot program, Davis chose the same color temperature when it extended the retrofit throughout the city in 2014, Sears said.

“As we started to put in these new lights, we got about halfway done with the residential portion of the city and we started to hear concerns,” he said. Public input was overwhelmingly negative; homeowners said the lights were glaring and intrusive. “Our City Council said, ‘Let’s take a timeout,’ and we went back to the drawing board.”

Ultimately, Davis decided to replace the lights with dimmer, 2,700 K fixtures, which happens to fall in line with the AMA’s new recommendation that residential streetlights not exceed 3,000 K. The citywide retrofit was completed about nine months ago, and complaints have since subsided.

“We feel like we found a decent balance point,” Sears said.

The new LED streetlights in Chico’s

residential neighborhoods will be 3,000 K exactly. When installing the fixtures, the city will take additional measures to make sure the light doesn’t encroach on homes, Gustafson said.

“With LEDs, you can specify the exact light pattern and where you want it to hit,” he said. “The existing HIDs, they spill light everywhere and create a lot of light pollution. If there are intrusion scenarios, we’ll take those on a case-by-case basis. We can put external covers on the back or sides, depending on the location.”

The new lights won’t be the first LEDs in Chico. The city’s maintenance policy is that, if an HID light goes out, it’s replaced by an LED, and mostly commercial thoroughfares—including The Esplanade, East 20th Street, East Avenue and Park Avenue—were retrofitted with them a few years ago.

To date, the city has received only two complaints regarding LED streetlights, Gustafson said.

He’s aware of the AMA warning, and pointed to a June 21 response from the U.S. Department of Energy that maintains that “there’s nothing inherently different about the blue light emitted by LEDs.” “As the potential for undesirable effects from exposure to light at night emerges from evolving research, the implications apply to all light sources— including, but by no means limited to, LEDs.” The statement adds that people may also be adversely affected by watching TV or using a smartphone before bed.

From the perspective of energy and cost savings, Gustafson said, Chico’s LED retrofit is a slam-dunk. Each year, the city spends about $700,000 just keeping the lights on. LEDs use half as much energy as the current HID fixtures, which will save Chico an estimated $273,183 in annual electric utility costs, according to a city staff report.

The project should pay for itself in less than five years. And, environmentally speaking, it will save about 1.6 million kilowatt hours of electricity and prevent the release of 831,500 pounds of carbon into the atmosphere.

“It’s hard to argue against an LED retrofit,” Gustafson said. “The environmental benefits are huge. The cost savings are huge. We probably spend $30,000 to $35,000 annually just sending staff members out to go change light bulbs and photo cells. An LEDs’ life cycle is much longer. We’re expecting not to touch these for 20 years.” □

Protecting a fish Changing the status of the Pacific bluefin tuna to endangered is largely symbolic, some say nvironmentalists are demanding that one of the most prized fishes on the planet be listed as an Eendangered species.

Last week, about a dozen environmental groups—including Greenpeace, the Center for Biological Diversity, Defenders of Wildlife and Earthjustice—formally petitioned the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service to consider listing the Pacific bluefin tuna as endangered under the Endangered Species Act. That status mandates the highest levels of protection from harm.

Other endangered species include the California condor and the Florida panther. Some scientists and activists feel the chances of getting the fish listed are slim. However, many also feel the action is long overdue.

The Pacific bluefin tuna, a species distinct from the overfished Atlantic bluefin, has been depleted to less than 3 percent of its estimated unfished levels, according to numerous researchers.

This, scientists and environmentalists argue, is an ecological emergency.

“The stock is down over 97 percent from prefishing levels, so there is no doubt the species needs to About this story: have some protections put in place,” Longtime CN&R contributor Duke University research scientist Andre Alastair Bland originally wrote Boustany said via email. this piece for NPR. One of the problems with current fishing patterns, said Catherine Kilduff, a staff attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity, is that most—possibly more than 98 percent—of the Pacific bluefin that are caught and processed are immature juveniles that have never reproduced.

“So the baby fish never grow up to be moms and dads, and the adult fish eventually die,” Kilduff said. “We feel this is a recipe for extinction.”

SIFT ER Lousy cities Chico ranked 48th in a list of the country’s 50 worst cities, as researched by 24/7 Wall St., a Delaware-based online company specializing in financial news and opinion. Low wages, expensive housing and the poverty rate were the dominant reasons the city made the list. The survey noted that Chico has a well-educated population—almost 39 percent of adults have a minimum of a bachelor’s degree (compared with 34 percent nationally).

Yet, the median household income is $40,815 annually. Meanwhile, the median home price is $275,600—or 6.8 times as much as household income. Home values across the U.S. are generally 3.4 times the median. Here’s a list of the top 10 worst cities, as reported by 24/7 Wall St.

1. Miami, Fla. 2. Detroit, Mich.

3. Paterson, N.J. 4. Hawthorne, Calif.

5. Fall, Mass.

6. Birmingham, Ala. 7. Memphis, Tenn.

The Pacific bluefin tuna is often caught early in its lifecycle, limiting the species’ ability to reproduce.

The international fishery essentially manages itself, setting its own quotas each year, and critics say too many tuna are taken.

Boustany, for one, said the fishery managers’ population recovery goals are much too modest: By 2024, he said, “the current management measures are only aiming to rebuild the stock” to around 6 percent of what it would be if the Pacific bluefin wasn’t fished.

And “almost all of the conservation measures that have been put in place to meet this low target are voluntary,” Boustany wrote.

“There is a reasonable probability that this target will not be met.”

The process of considering the petition and eventually listing the Pacific bluefin could take about two years, said Kilduff.

She said an endangered status would make it illegal to catch and kill Pacific bluefin in American waters, which extend 200 nautical miles from shore. Kilduff said it would also forbid Americans from possessing the fish even when outside of the United States, and prohibit the sale or trade of Pacific bluefin within the country. For instance, most of the Pacific bluefin captured by Mexico, and then fattened in open-ocean pens before being slaughtered, is sent to Tokyo via United States ports, according to Boustany. An endangered listing would ban that activity.

Bluefin tuna travel great distances across the ocean, through waters governed by many different nations—including Japan, where the bluefin’s fatty pink flesh is highly prized for making excellent sashimi. The migratory nature of the bluefin has made sustainable fishery management a challenge, since it requires the close cooperation of numerous national governments.

It’s also part of the reason why protection under the Endangered Species Act would have limited effects on the fishery and the species’ population. Of the 37 million pounds of Pacific bluefin caught by fishermen in 2014, Americans caught just 2 percent, according to data provided by Michael Milstein, a public affairs officer with NOAA Fisheries. (Japan took about half and Mexico almost 30 percent.)

The Vaquita porpoise ( P h o c o e n a s i n u s ) , is currently the most endangered marine mammal in the world. Approximately 60 exist in the wild based on a recent study by the Committee for the Recovery of the Vaquita (CIRVA). Inhabiting the Sea of Cortez between California and Mexico, the Vaquita is threatened due to the use of gill nets by fishermen to catch shrimp. Additionally, the endangered Totoaba fish is in demand in China also causing the accidental capture of the Vaquita. This has contributed to the death of an animal whose population is declining at a rate of 18.5% a year!

bluefin industry is why some conservationists feel listing the Pacific bluefin as endangered would be largely symbolic.

“It would affect fishing for Pacific bluefin in U.S. waters and would also stop imports of Pacific bluefin into the States, and that would send a major signal to the global market” that current fishing trends are not sustainable, said restaurateur and seafood sustainability consultant Casson Trenor, whose San Francisco sushi restaurant group Tataki has vowed never to serve bluefin tuna.

Buzz Brizendine, captain of the San Diego-based recreational fishing boat The Prowler, said he thinks listing Pacific bluefin, and thereby banning fishing for the species, would be unfair and relatively ineffective.

“Recreational fishermen have already had their daily bag limit on Pacific bluefin reduced from 10 to two fish,” said Brizendine, who takes customers fishing for bluefin in the summer months.

“We’ve already made a significant contribution to reducing the catch.”

Brizendine sits on the Pacific Fishery Management Council, the advisory panel that makes recommendations to the U.S. government on how to manage many species.

He said efforts to reduce mortality of Pacific bluefin must be focused on the western Pacific—the waters near Asia—where more than threefourths of the catch is taken.

Some depleted but commercially valued fishes, like several strains of chinook salmon and a handful of rockfish species, have been afforded strict protections by the federal government. Kilduff notes that her organization petitioned the U.S. fisheries service in 2014 to add the Pacific bluefin to its list of species that can’t be fished under regulations.

“They denied that petition [two weeks ago],” she said. “So, we’ve tried to get them to take action before, and they haven’t.”

Council refuses to jettison rental fees ill the League of Women Voters be willing and able W to pay to use Chico City Council

chambers for its candidate forums?

Not likely, and some council members think that’s a shame.

For that reason, among others, they sought at their Tuesday, July 5, meeting to reverse the council’s February vote to charge for use of the chambers.

Councilwoman Ann Schwab, who has consistently opposed the fees, again argued that the city should be making its facilities available to groups like the LWV that provide a benefit to the community.

“There are few buildings for our community to really come together and discuss the issues,” she said.

The city charges $137 per hour for use of council chambers, along with certain ancillary fees, and $150 per hour for the auditorium in the Old Municipal Building.

At issue was an element that City Attorney Vincent Ewing added to the ordinance giving the city manager the option to waive the fees for certain nonprofit publicservice groups.

Loretta Torres, who is a candidate for the City Council, argued on behalf of the LWV, saying the group provides an important service not only for those who attend the

forums, but also those who watch the televised events from home.

Councilman Randall Stone pointed out that 44,000 Chicoans registered to vote in the June election, arguing that use of the council chambers for candidate forums would be “appropriate.”

Not so, countered Councilman Andrew Coolidge. Most cities don’t open their council chambers for political debate precisely because it is inappropriate.

Vice Mayor Sean Morgan said trying to decide public benefit is a “slippery slope.” Allowing free use of city facilities was costing the city money, which is why the council came up with a policy.

“It’s still well below market cost.”

The biggest user of the chambers was the school board, which held its monthly meetings there.

“Now, Chico Unified didn’t like [paying a fee] at all, and they left.

OK,” Morgan shrugged.

Mayor Mark Sorensen noted that the school district has a fee policy for use of its own facilities, and “there are no waivers.”

He agreed with Morgan about the difficulty of determining public benefit: “Just about everybody will say they provide a public benefit.

Just ask them.”

The proposed changes failed, 3-4, with Stone, Schwab and

the council’s agenda involved three proposed changes to the City Charter.

One would simply eliminate an outdated provision mandating that the first council meeting in December of even-numbered years begin at 7:30 p.m.

The others had to do with the city’s ads in local newspapers.

The more controversial one would allow the city to advertise its public-works projects on a free Web service called Public Purchase rather than in a newspaper.

Sorensen noted that contractors seeking to bid on public-works projects all subscribe to Public Purchase, so newspaper ads aren’t needed. Addressing the council, Jim Gleim, publisher of the Enterprise-Record and 10 other Northern California newspapers, countered that “there are far more people looking at the public-notice section than simply your vendors.”

The other would eliminate the requirement that it put its newspaper legal notices and official advertisements out to bid. City Clerk Debbie Presson said there was no reason to do so.

Charter changes require voter approval. The council voted, 6-1, with Coolidge dissenting, to put the measures on the Nov. 8 ballot.

HEALTHLINES Dr. Brandon Stark, a Chico family medicine doctor trained in addiction treatment, says about 1 in 4 of his patients have some degree of opioid dependence.

died from an accidental overdose Cof Prince an opioid medicine hammered home what onfirmation last month that music icon

statistics have shown for years: Painkillers can be actual killers.

Opioids (also called opiates)— compounds either naturally or synthetically derived from opium—have various names and come in various strengths. Prince’s autopsy found fentanyl, which is about 50 times more powerful than heroin and, according to The New York Times, attributed by federal officials to OD incidents “occurring at an alarming rate throughout the United States.” Related narcotics commonly prescribed include tramadol, codeine, hydrocodone (in Vicodin/Norco), oxycodone (in Percocet/Oxycontin) and morphine.

The death toll is climbing, up to around 15,000 Americans a year. The medical community has taken notice and established stricter prescribing guidelines. The effect has been fewer prescriptions since 2012 (down 12 percent or 18 percent, depending on the health-data reporter) but not a corresponding downturn in fatalities.

Meanwhile, two new studies—one on animals, one on human patients with sickle-cell anemia—have found that opioids actually may make pain worse with long-term use. The first study found a negative physiological reaction in the nervous system of rats; in the second, patients reported worse symptoms.

Since so many patients have been prescribed opioids for so long, often in escalat-

ing doses, the new evidence that’s mounting places health care at a crossroads.

Dr. Brandon Stark is a Chico physician certi-

fied in family medicine and trained in addiction treatment, and Dr. Mark Lundberg, Butte County’s outgoing public health official, just this week joined the addiction treatment team at Butte County Behavioral Health. Both stress that opioids are valuable when prescribed and used appropriately, but they see the way medical protocols are evolving as signposts of change.

“For the last decade or so, doctors trying to be good doctors and reduce suffering prescribed a lot more pain-relievers,” Stark said on Thursday (June 30). “I don’t think anyone was trying to do the wrong thing … wellintentioned, but certainly we didn’t know well enough the dark side of pain control.

“So now we’re at where we’re at, which is a huge epidemic of overdose deaths.”

To stem the tide, physicians have placed an emphasis on “judicious” prescribing, Lundberg said. Overdose statistics have stayed static, Stark added, because so many people were already dependent on the drugs before doctors started cutting back on prescriptions.

“We will see a decrease [in adverse effects],” Stark said. “It just hasn’t caught up yet.”

Indeed, physicians see two streams of patients: those already taking opioids and

those now seeking pain relief.

“It’s certainly a challenge for those patients who are good patients, following a prescription by their doctor, but now they have tolerance and their body has adapted to these opiates,” Lundberg said by phone.

“There’s the challenge of just getting them off the opiates now. That’s what we want to avoid to begin with … you’ve got to start on the front end.”

All Californians fall under the same rules

requiring more safeguards to curtail opioid abuse. For example, effective July 1, every licensed prescriber and dispenser (i.e., doctor and pharmacist) must register to access the CURES database monitoring controlledsubstance pharmaceuticals. This enables a physician to cross-reference a patient’s prescriptions to ensure he/she doesn’t have any undisclosed painkiller scripts.

Some of the strictures, including methods for prescribing and bans on refills, have led to restrictions at local practices and clinics.

“We have to make sure we have places for these good patients to go,” Lundberg said. “All [medical offices] have policies where they’re trying to be careful about how they prescribe opioids, and [in the short-

sedatives; it’s been very common in the past, but that’s a deadly combination … and it also can be you’re taking your pain medicines appropriately and drinking beer on the weekend, or other sedatives we [doctors] haven’t always thought about in the past and have to be aware of.”

Stark included cannabis—not as a sedative, but as a substance a patient might use in conjunction with an opioid and potentially lose track of dosing.

“We don’t really know all these different ways you can get into trouble by taking your medicines appropriately but still get into serious health problems,” he said.

Lundberg emphasized the value of opioids in the medical toolbox, citing patients suffering from terminal illnesses and those fresh out of surgery as prime beneficiaries.

He does not gloss over risks—after all, his new job focuses on substance abuse—but puts them in perspective.

“In their proper use, they are very important,” Lundberg said of opioids. “I hope that people don’t undermedicate when there are appropriate uses for these medicines.” □

This guy saves you money.

term] they work great, but there could be some patients who get lost in this scrutiny of opioids.”

Stark says about 40 percent of his practice consists of addiction medicine versus family medicine, and that segment has grown steadily in the five years he’s been at Argyll Medical Group. Between 20 percent and 30 percent of his patients are dependent on opioids; that figure has stayed constant, but he says he sees only a demographic slice of the population because his office does not accept Medi-Cal. The big picture is shocking.

So are the individual stories, such as the demise of Prince, a devout Jehovah’s Witness who publicly eschewed drugs and reportedly didn’t drink alcohol other than red wine in moderation. The publicly released autopsy listed only fentanyl, no other causes or toxicology reporting.

Even with questions unanswered, Prince’s death should serve as a warning.

“Most of the overdoses, I think, are people who are on chronic medications and using them appropriately,” Stark said.

“They just have been given a combination of pain relievers and

Office workers, listen up. A large body of research links sitting for long stretches at a time to increased risk of heart disease, and a new study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology might help explain why. The researchers analyzed data on 2,030 people free of cardiovascular disease—the average age was 50—and found that being sedentary created more accumulation of calcium in arterial plaque, an indicator of increased risk of heart disease. The longer people sat, the more calcium was found in their hearts. What’s more, exercise did not counteract that effect. Getting away from the desk just a bit more often could go a long way, the study’s authors concluded: “Reducing daily sitting time by even one to two hours per day could have a significant and positive impact on future cardiovascular health.”

Daytime at the museum

Renee Renner, executive director of the Gateway Science Museum, shows off the newest traveling exhibit, “TreeHouses: Look who’s living in the trees!”

Gateway in Chico offers a diverse collection of exhibits focused on the natural world story and photo by

in the sun on a recent blistering Rday,Squinting the executive director of the Gateway enee Renner clearly enjoys her job.

Science Museum flashed a wide smile as she pointed to a group of bees buzzing around a bush awash with blue flowers.

“If you look closely, you can see at least three different species of bee at any one time,” she said, “just with your bare eyes.”

The museum is hosting a traveling exhibit, “TreeHouses: Look who’s living in the trees!” But Renner couldn’t help herself—she had to go to the museum’s garden first. Considering how well the space fits in with local sustainability efforts, it was easy to see why. The garden was created—several years ago, so it’s well-established—to be an example of a native, drought-tolerant, pollinator-attracting garden.

“It was designed to be a showcase of what we can grow here simply and easily,” she said. The past few years of drought have pushed people toward a new model of landscaping, which can take some time to get used to, she said, acknowledging that it was a hard sell for her at first, too. “But it’s grown on me. Now, I have sage and salvia in my own garden.”

As she circled the plants, Renner pointed to different species and remarked on how successful they’ve been in attracting bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. Milkweed, in particular, is often pooh-pooh’d because people think it’s a weed, she said, but it’s not invasive, and this past spring, she noticed theirs attracted migrating monarchs.

Around back is the museum’s edibles garden, where a modest crop of seasonable produce is grown. The goal, Renner said, is to show people how easily they can grow a few veggies in standard planter boxes.

The Gateway Science Museum’s exhibits

range from the natural, permanent setting of the pollinator and edibles gardens to traveling or temporary shows focusing on specific topics. The goal is to educate, Renner said, rather than to push an agenda. In that vein, she pointed to the exhibit titled “Modern Farming: Land, water, people and science,” which highlights advancements by Chico State agriculture students and faculty as well as Butte County’s top ag commodities.

“That’s something we’re always getting hit with from big ag—that we need to farm more so that we can feed a growing number of people,” she said while a globe rotated in front of visitors, highlighting parts of the world where walnuts—she’d pushed that button—are grown and consumed.

Another display focused on rice fields and water, and how they connect with the natural world through migratory birds and other animals, like crawfish and fairy shrimp. “In a drought, people wonder why they flood the fields,” Renner said. “We want to present the information so people can learn and understand for themselves.”

See for yourself:

The Gateway Science Museum’s summer hours are Wednesday-Sunday, noon-5 p.m. log onto www.csuchico.edu/gateway or call 898-4121 for more information, or stop by at 625 Esplanade. The TreeHouses exhibit will be on display through Sept. 4.

The other main room of the museum featured a tree house exhibit, on loan all the way from New England and hand-picked

by Chicoan and museum supporter Bonnie Huntington, who donated the money to bring it to Chico. In the middle is a large tree complete with a house and suspension bridge reminiscent of something out of The Swiss Family Robinson. “[The exhibit] is meant to inform people about all the animals that live among or in the trees,” Renner said, “about their habitat, and how to be better stewards of that habitat.”

Videos and display stations scattered throughout the room concentrate on different tree-related topics, from responsible logging to accepted etiquette for dealing with bird nests and eggs. Part of the reason for the exhibit’s name, “TreeHouses,” Renner said, is that it shows how wood can be transformed from living tree to lumber to pieces put together to form a home.

“In a way, we’re all tree-dwellers,” she said.

Renner pointed to a few localized touches spread out among the traveling show, including banners displaying local native trees, a research poster on trees and drought from Chico State’s Department of Science and Natural Resources and a hand-picked display about the Carolina parakeet.

“Bonnie’s husband was an outdoorsman—this was an opportunity for her to bring in an exhibit that highlights the outdoors and conservation of it,” she said of the exhibit’s donor. “Bonnie also loves

parrots. So, in researching, we found that the Carolina parakeet was the only parrot— yes, it’s actually a parrot—to be native to this country before its extinction, which is another way we can show the importance of protecting this natural habitat.” □

ECO EVENT

GROWING LIBRARY Believe it or not, it’s time to start planning fall gardens. In preparation for such, the Chico Seed Lending Library is holding its monthly Lettuce Get Together event, this one focused on plants like onions, broccoli, cabbage and kohlrabi. An orientation is available, where prospective members can learn how to check out seeds from the library as well as how to save their own.

Tuesday, July 12, 4:30-7:30 p.m. at the Chico branch of the Butte County Library (1108 Sherman Ave.).

EVERYBODY’S BUSINESS Ryan Poirier (left) and John Ralston.

15 MINUTES

The ultimate in beauty?

jokers are wild John Ralston likes practical jokes, and often waits behind the door to spook his partner, Ryan Poirier, when he gets home. That helps explain the name of the couple’s new business, The Joker’s Bakery, which offers 16 flavors of cheesecake, from eggnog to peanut butter and jelly. The 17th flavor is wild—any variety customers think up, Ralston will whip up. He’s been baking experimental cheesecakes as a hobby for more than 20 years, since attending the Culinary Institute of America in New York. He met Poirier a few years ago while living in Washington, D.C., and the partners, who are engaged to be married in September, decided to move closer to Ralston’s hometown of Corning. They moved to Chico last fall and intend eventually to open a brick-and-mortar shop, but for now they’re establishing themselves at local farmers’ markets, serving dessert at weddings and taking special orders. (Ralston handles the business side of things.) The Joker’s Bakery is off to a good start, having sold out of cheesecake when it debuted last month at the Thursday Night Market in downtown Chico. Go to www.the jokersbakery.com or call (917) 885-8014 to place an order.

THE GOODS

Why jokers?

Ralston: It’s mostly about my mom. She passed away about five years ago. We would play cards all the time, just nonstop. I have a fascination with cards, and I like the jokers the best.

Poirier: He also likes to play jokes. Not only does it fit John’s passion and interest in cards, it’s also part of his personality.

What’s special about your cheesecake?

Ralston: A New York-style cheesecake is very dense and heavy. When you have a piece, you can really feel it in your stomach.

Mine is lighter, fluffier, creamier.

And I like to play with new flavors.

I used to have 32 flavors, almost like Baskin-Robbins, you know?

But I’ve cut it down. The one that’s really surprised me with its popularity is the peanut butter and jelly. I use a blackberry jelly and

it’s been a big hit. Also, the flavors are very subtle and well-balanced.

They’re very artisanal.

Do you make anything else?

Poirier: He also makes cheesecake pops; he’ll take the cheesecake and dip it in chocolate, then decorate it with toasted coconut or nuts. Those are really good.

He’s also working on cheesecake truffles. And the latest one, yet to be developed, is a push-up pop— multiple levels of different cheesecake flavors.

What will your shop be like?

Ralston: My vision is a place that is part coffee shop and serves dessert wine that pairs well with cheesecake or coffee. And there are going to be framed joker cards covering the walls all over.

I rarely do anything drastic with my hair. I get it trimmed two to three times a year, I stopped highlighting it a decade ago after a few streaks too many made me practically blonde, and I’m generally too lazy to get it cut in such a fashion that would require actual work. (A blow dryer? What’s that?)

That said, I do try to take good care of my hair. But I never fully appreciated the power of quality products, despite being urged by every hairstylist I’ve ever had to try something new. I was fine with Dove, or Herbal Essences, or Teen Spirit back in the day (anyone remember that?!). Well, I ran out of my own conditioner the other day and it so happened my roommate had just bought some Biolage shampoo and conditioner over at Downtown Salon & Gallery in the Garden Walk Mall and insisted I try it. Consider me a convert.

That got me thinking about Ulta Beauty, the largest supplier of products for hair, nails and makeup in the United States, which is getting ready to open a 10,000-square-foot megastore next to Costco. In addition to supplies, the store will include a full-service salon offering hair, nail, makeup and browwaxing services.

The Chico store is currently hiring for manager positions, for those looking to jump on board. Job recruiting and review site Glassdoor.com shows Ulta employees get great benefits and generally enjoy working there, but hours are inconsistent.

New businesses coming to town are always kind of exciting. Ulta clearly is going to create jobs, but as with Walmart proposing an expansion, I have to wonder how many of those jobs will create vacancies elsewhere. Thing is, while the beauty seekers among us may be stoked on the promises of Ulta—one-stop primping/shopping, 250-odd product lines—it could hurt local salons. I reached out to my esthetician friends and acquaintances to gauge their thoughts and was met with apprehension. My own stylist, Lindsay Allison, owner of Crucial Salon in the SOPO neighborhood (and the only one to go on record), predicts that salon owners will feel most of the heat.

“It will make it a lot harder for salons to make money because we really rely on retail as salon owners,” she told me. “The booth renters pay the bills and the retail sales are our profit above what we make from our clients. Not only that, but we are the ones to recommend the products to the client and to have done all that and have them go somewhere else to buy the products hurts our business.”

When it comes to service, however, Allison was quick to stand behind her and other local salons’ brands. Their success is entirely up to them—if they do a great job, they get repeat customers; if not, they likely end up choosing another career path.

Ulta is slated to open this fall, so it won’t be long before we see how things shake out.

ow about those triple-digit days last week? Pretty brutal. If there’s one thing we can count on in the North State, it’s the summertime heat. The good news, especially for those of us without swimming pools of our own, is that we are surrounded by some pretty sweet spots to take a dip.

From a municipal fountain in the city center to the wide-open water at Lake Oroville, Butte County residents can take respite at dozens of locations. Here’s a look, through the lens of CN&R photography intern John Domogma, at some of the prime spots to cool down when Butte County heats up.

ceiling-high shelves filled with books, is a bibliophile’s comfort zone—conducive to both reading and listening.

At the most recent event (June 22), participants presented a series of memoir pieces, including Christopher Barry’s “Brooklyn, Coming Off Ship, Weekend Chronicle,” an evocative medley of stream-of-conscious images interspersed with lyrics from classic blues songs.

Gary Cooke read from his short story, “A Piece of Sky,” effectively portraying the circumscribed reality of small-town life.

Garner usually invites a few people from the local writing community to come read, and then leaves a few spaces open for other attendees to share as well.

“It’s fascinating,” he said. “You never know quite what you’re going to get.”

readings is a circular concrete stage surrounding a fire pit situated beneath the branches of a huge, marvelously twisted oak. Sitting there recently, I was reminded of Kahlil Gibran’s poetic observation that, “Trees are poems the earth writes upon the sky/We fell them down and turn them into paper/That we may record our emptiness.” But among the 15 to 20 mostly younger poets at last month’s reading (June 16), I sensed not so much emptiness as a willingness and readiness to accept each other’s versions and

visions of their individual realities.

Whether reading comfortably and confidently or fairly inaudibly and bashfully, from hand-scrawled scraps of paper, bound journals, smartphone screens or memory, each poet received concentrated attention and sincere applause.

Series organizer Kate Wright said the motivation for creating the Poets in the Park group was to carry on the tradition of readings that began at the now-defunct Café Flo several years ago, “providing a safe space and open community” for local poets.

André Williams, a regular at the gatherings who often serves as emcee, is a good example of how the community has developed. “I used to just come and never read, but now I really like reading and talking to people at the readings,” he said. “I think it can help the shy ones and inspire them to feel like it’s OK to share their feelings by reading themselves. Participating draws both them and me further into the community.”

Another regular, Piper Josephine— who can often be found selling poems, love letters, etc., written on the spot at the Saturday farmers’ market—added, “Reading is performance. And writing is private.

art jams A kick-ass mix of visual work by Chico musicians night (June 30) was TmuchThursday louder than normal for an he background music last

art reception at the 1078 Gallery.

The increased volume made for by an appropriately Carey Wilson lively atmosphere at the opening for the gallery’s new show, Scene Review: and Heard, a Scene and heard, group exhibit now showing at 1078 featuring works gallery through July 16. Plus, by nine Chico free artist concert artists who are, Friday, July 8, 6 p.m. in most cases, better known for 1078 Gallery 820 broadway their contribu343-1973 tions to the local www.1078gallery.org music scene. As it turned out, the visual art of the musicians—a rich mixture of styles, media and content—made for just as fun and fascinating a presentation as would have a concert featuring the same roster (a concert that will actually come to be Friday, July 8, at the gallery). Taken together, Scene and Heard is a satisfyingly eclectic, well-crafted playlist of art.

Looking at Donald Beaman’s untitled abstract drawings may not conjure the feeling of moody

Americana that suffuses much of his music, but a sense of loosely meticulous attention to detail inhabits both art forms.

The images of Jasuka Naomi’s boldly colorful acrylic and oil paintings exude an aura of joy and playfulness. But with the colors in “Moon Cat” and “Wintu Wisdom,” outlined in and overlaying areas of black and deep blue, one also gets a hint of the soulful depth of Naomi’s songwriting and singing.

Scout, a young woman who composes multilayered “electronic R&B electro hip-hop indie-pop rap trip-hop” and sings in a clear, delicate voice, conveys a similar emotional immediacy and surety of vision for her mixed-media collages, such as “Willie,” a portrait of Willie Nelson. Equally visionary are Lisa Valentine’s watercolor portraits of fellow musicians, such as “Lisa Marie” (of local acts Bunnymilk, Skin Peaks and Hallelujah Junction), which portrays the singer meditatively cradling a bunny.

Robin Indar, tile-maker, mosaic artist extraordinaire and punk-rock bassist and singer for Severance Package, brings hard-edged humor to both her visual and musical art forms. Her craftsmanship of the “Glow in the Dark Boombox,” with

its perfectly composed green, black and white subject highlighted by a single bright scarlet tile fairly leaps off the wall; and her sculpted “Spike Boots,” in the same color scheme, made for some kick-ass punk art.

Acoustic players Sean Galloway (who makes “quiet music” as Ave Grave) and Fera contributed sketchbook-ish paintings and drawings, respectively, that reflect the singer/ songwriters’ introspective souls.

The sole photographer in the show is heavy metal musician Sesar Sanchez (Teeph, Cold Blue Mountain), whose 365Chico website is chronicling a full year of daily photo shoots and interviews.

His thoughtful portraits are mostly of local folks, including many musicians, and the bold examples on view at 1078 are solely of the other musician-artists in the exhibit.

Robert “Mad Bob” Howard, of spacey rockers The Vesuvians and neo-goths The Empty Gate, brings a cartoonish imagination and sense of ironic humor to his creations for the show, with a series of TV-themed, welded sculptures that appear ready to walk out of the gallery. As Howard puts it in his artist’s statement for the exhibition, “The whole gig is more or less inventing a problem and then figuring out how to solve it.” □

Dying to Know

Gay Dillingham’s feature-length documentary is an engaging double portrait of Timothy Leary and Ram Dass, two visionary experimentalists from the heady, consciousness-expanding movements of the 1960s. Voice-over narration from Robert Redford, Dillingham and writer-editor David

who, for immigration purposes, will become their daughter.

Each of the three is the lone surviving member of a family destroyed in the course of Sri Lanka’s civil wars, and each is desperate to leave the wreckage of his or her life and that nation as far behind as can be arranged. In this case, however, liberation as well as survival depend on their reinventing themselves as a family of three.

The hard-won rewards and obvious stresses of maintaining (and perhaps transcending) their imposed identities become unexpectedly moving parts of the newfound family’s story. And those dramatic stakes are heightened by the discovery that the machinery of the civil war is still making claims on Dheepan, even in France. Plus, Illayaal has trouble in adapting to life in a French school, and Yalini finds herself the recipient of some rather problematic special rewards in her work as a part-time maid/caregiver.

In France, their makeshift little family resides in a massive public housing complex.

Leach delivers capsulated versions of both men’s life stories, with particular emphasis on their daring and sometimes notorious experiments with spirituality, sex and drugs, including (most famously) Leary’s muchpublicized adventures with LSD. Vintage video clips (of Leary, in particular) make brisk and apt additions to the proceedings, but a key part of the project is built around footage and commentary from the reunion the filmmakers staged between the two men in 1995 when Leary was on his deathbed. The reunion becomes the occasion for last testaments from both men, with both affirming that their far-flung, seriously rambunctious friendship has been a “love story.” Subsequent interviews, done more recently with Dass, figure significantly as well. The pair’s reflections on death and dying give the film its title, but most of Dying to Know is simply

Dheepan has a job as a “caretaker” for a section of the complex that is a thinly veiled hotbed for criminal activity. The fraught circumstances in all that serve as compounding aggravations for the various individual struggles, and lead in part to an episode of violence, an outburst that seems to echo all that Dheepan hoped to leave behind.

The recurrence of violent conflict late in the film may seem more climactic that it

Authentic South Indian Cuisine

Truck wars, part two The search for the taco wagon McGuffin continues a taco truck, the first of which was the name.

LI’llating now consider some others. ast week I began discussing the criteria for evalu-

A second way a truck attracts customers is through perks—little bennies other trucks don’t have. First among perks is a coupon. The standard taco coupon is for half by off a second meal if you buy two Tuck Coop drinks. Do not fall for this. Do the math: half off a Mexican lunch is $3.50. The drinks will cost you $4.

This is just a scam to get you to spend more money.

With diligence, coupons can be found for half off everything, without strings.

There are many other perks. Among them: Mexican Coke or Penafiel (Mexican soft drink) Shade—especially in a parking lot on a Chico summer afternoon Free chips and salsa Good chips and salsa Black bean option Aguas frescas (real fruit juice—try the sandía, aka watermelon) Double tortillas on the tacos Unusual salsas Salsa bar Limes on request Limes in the salsa bar (better) Unusual menu items: sopes, tortas, lengua, barbacoa Interesting décor (e.g., Gordo Burrito’s murals) English rarely or never spoken Promises of healthiness (lard-free cooking especially) Promises of unhealthiness (aka “auténtico”) Feel free to make your own list. El Sol has killer french fries, for example.

The criterion most people think of first, but the hardest one to use, is the quality of the food. The facts of the matter are: 1) Tastes differ wildly. The most inedible taco truck food in Chico, by my reckoning, is at a truck lavishly praised by a seemingly sane friend who swore to me it stood head and shoulders above all other Chico trucks. And, 2) It’s very hard to tell one taco-truck burrito from another. As far as I can tell, all Chico trucks get their beef and pork from a central distribution hub called Carnes R Nos. To render a judgment, you must order the chicken. Taco truck chicken comes in three modes of preparation: boiled in water (ugh), grilled (OK) and interestingly seasoned (Gordo).

By the way, if you’re a novice negotiating the various Mexican meats, you really need to know only two things: 1) There are two porks—carnitas and al pastor—and al pastor is the hot one.

Apparently, in Mexican culture, ministers or shepherds are considered “hot.” 2) Barbacoa is made from goat, unless it’s made from beef, cow head or lamb.

A third reason judging food quality is iffy is because there are two standards of judgment: how good the food tastes now, as you eat it, and how sick you feel in an hour, as you digest it. Often the trucks that rate the highest by the first standard fail most dramatically by the second (see “auténtico,” above).

You must decide for yourself where your values lie.

Now rating a given taco truck is easy. Consider the name. Award points for each perk present according to how much each perk matters to you (award three points for sopes—they’re rare). Try the chicken.

Decide if you value pleasing your palate now or feeling good later. Sum up.

When next we meet, we’ll go forth armed with our new skills and evaluate some real Chico trucks. □

With The Haters, he crafts a unique young-adult take of jazz-camp escapees who form a band and hit the road to find themselves. Corey, Wes and their new friend, Ash, the “guitar-shredding” mystery girl, leave behind their cellphones and a world of rules and hit the road to embrace being a rock ’n’ roll band.

Ash declares that truly great bands are born on the road playing live— anywhere and everywhere, them against the world. Narrowly avoiding calling the band Air Horse, The Haters christen the “Summer of Hate” tour with an ill-fated gig at a Chinese restaurant. Andrews’ skills are paramount in the realistic, and savagely funny, voice he bestows upon his young protagonists and in the sensitivity he demonstrates in identifying each young person’s background and the gifts or burdens parents pass on to their children.

Light Upon the Lake Whitney Secretly Canadian Whitney’s Light Upon the Lake exudes a polished sound, a quality not so common on a debut album. Part of this might stem from the fact that while Whitney is new, its members are not. A bulk of the band came from indie darlings the Smith Westerns, which disbanded in 2014, leading to Whitney and this first release. The album effortlessly exudes that 1970s pop quality; an R&B silkiness to the hooks’ tone, with strings and horns that feel like a huge melodic smile. Songs like “Golden Days” and “No Matter Where We Go” fall instantly into an easily digestible groove; perfect summer pop.

There are moments that seem to reflect the aural sunny disposition of California bands like the beloved Mother Hips (“The Falls”), while others nod toward Whitney’s hometown of Chicago’s jazzy foundation (“Red Moon”). It sounds like a lot to get done in one album, but it’s done well.

The Bob’s Burgers Burger Book Loren Bouchard, Cole Bowden universe Publishing Bob and the Belcher family know burgers. The new cookbook from the writers of the Fox cartoon Bob’s Burgers began as a fan’s blog. Cole Bowden created real-life recipes for the joke burgers featured in the show. Author and series creator Loren Bouchard, with chefs Aliza Miner and Paul O’Connell, added the Belcher wit and fine-tuned the burgers, respectively, to create a humorously imaginative cookbook with practical recipes.

While the puns often center on one ingredient—Beets of Burden Burger, Romaines of the Day Burger—the recipes achieve a lot with simple ingredients and instruction. The patty in the Summer Thyme Burger—beef mixed with rosemary, thyme and feta—is spot-on and worthy of numerous summer barbecues. Seasoned chefs may find places to add more depth at the cost of convoluting the recipe, but keep the process as simple as Bob’s puns and you’ll have a burger well done.

World of art coming to chico Two words: Poemjazz. OK, that’s actually

one word with two words in it, but arts dEVo is no less excited for its arrival.

This week is Chico Performances’ annual big reveal, wherein Chico state’s arts-presenting arm flexes its typically impressive schedule of shows featuring a wide range of world-class performing arts. The 2016-17 season preview—free and open to the public—happens at Laxson auditorium on Saturday, July 9, 11 a.m.-1 p.m., and will be followed by the official release of the schedule on July 11 (followed by the opening of ticket sales in early August). And as the big day has gotten closer, there have been little birds dive-bombing my desk from every direction, dropping a mess of clues as to what might be rolling into Chico this school year. If I’m interpreting the splatter patterns correctly, there is a varied and impressive not-yet-official calendar coming into view. A small sampling of what I’m reading (including Poemjazz!):

Cnrsweetdeals.newsreview.Com

ARTS DEVO

This guy saves you money.

• Colvin & Earle—That’s shawn Colvin and steve Earle touring together in support of their recently released collaborative album.

• The great musical crew dave Rawlings Machine (with Gillian Welch) rolls back into Butte County.

• The great humorist david sedaris strolls back to Laxson Auditorium.

• Four (!) Italian operas: La Bohème, Lucia di Lammermoor, The Elixir of Love and Tosca.

• Memphis bluesman Booker T. Jones brings the stax Revue, “a journey through soul, blues and R&B,” to Chico!

Is your pet the cutest?

Booker T. Jones

• The Uncle dads art Collective will come together and try to carry the weight of something by The Beatles.

• And Poemjazz, the marriage of the rich wordplay of one-time American poet laureate Robert Pinsky with the music of jazz Grammy-winner Laurence Hobgood.

Welcome the neW dude What’s this?! The daniel Taylor is now part of the

CN&R crew? It’s true. I saw it with my own eyes, Daniel talking to me from behind a desk across the office we will now share as he joins the paper as our new calendar editor/editorial assistant. I’ve known Daniel for somewhere around 16 years, both for his many public acts of scene-making—as a musician in bands like West by swan, Cold Blue Mountain, surrogate (and damelo, of course) and as the hilarious and often hilariously self-deprecating writer of the popular Hot Flashes column in the old synthesis magazine—and personally due to often being in the vicinity of the aforementioned stuff.

I think Daniel is a fantastic writer as well as one of the best dudes around, and I’m stoked he’s joining our office. However, between him and staff writer Ken smith and their combined righteous dudeness, unpretentious NorCal pedigree, and complete ownership of the local music scene, I am starting to get little nervous as I try to keep my balance atop my wobbly stack of cred.

The proof is in the picture! Go to our Facebook page and reply to the pet-issue post with pic of your furry (or feathery, or scaly) friend.

Be sure to include your pet’s name.

CLASSIFIEDS For the week oF july 7, 2016 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Events in

the coming week may trick your mind and tweak your heart. They might mess with your messiah complex and wreak havoc on your habits. But I bet they will also energize your muses and add melodic magic to your mysteries. They will slow you down in such a way as to speed up your evolution, and spin you in circles with such lyrical grace that you may become delightfully clearheaded. Will you howl and moan?

Probably, but more likely out of poignant joy, not from angst and anguish. Might you be knocked off course? Perhaps, but by a good influence, not a bad one.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In the

book A Survival Guide to the Stress of Organizational Change, the authors tell you how to raise your stress levels. Assume that others are responsible for lowering your stress levels, they say. Resolve not to change anything about yourself.

Hold on to everything in your life that’s expendable. Fear the future. Get embroiled in trivial battles. Try to win new games as you play by old rules. Luckily, the authors also offer suggestions on how to reduce your stress. Get good sleep, they advise.

Exercise regularly. Don’t drink too much caffeine. Feel lots of gratitude. Clearly define a few strong personal goals, and let go of lesser wishes. Practice forgiveness and optimism. Talk to yourself with kindness.

Got all that, Taurus? It’s an excellent place to start as you formulate your strategy for the second half of 2016.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Normally

I’m skeptical about miraculous elixirs and sudden cures and stupendous breakthroughs. I avoid fantasizing about a “silver bullet” that can simply and rapidly repair an entrenched problem. But I’m setting aside my caution as I evaluate your prospects for the coming months. While I don’t believe that a sweeping transformation is guaranteed, I suspect it’s far more likely than usual. I suggest you open your mind to it.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): As I gaze

into my crystal ball and invoke a vision of your near future, I find you communing with elemental energies that are almost beyond your power to control. But I’m not worried, because I also see that the spirit of fun is keeping you safe and protected.

Your playful strength is fully unfurled, ensuring that love always trumps chaos. This is a dream come true: You have a joyous confidence as you explore and experiment with the Great Unknown, trusting in your fluidic intuition to guide you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “You can only go

halfway into the darkest forest,” says a Chinese proverb. “Then you are coming out the other side.” You will soon reach that midpoint, Leo. You may not recognize how far you have already come, so it’s a good thing I’m here to give you a heads-up. Keep the faith! Now here’s another clue: As you have wandered through the dark forest, you’ve been learning practical lessons that will come in handy during the phase of your journey that will begin after your birthday.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): My devoted

contingent of private detectives, intelligence agents and psychic sleuths is constantly wandering the globe gathering data for me to use in creating your horoscopes. In recent days, they have reported that many of you Virgos are seeking expansive visions and mulling long-term decisions. Your tribe seems unusually relaxed about the future, and is eager to be emancipated from shrunken possibilities. Crucial in this wonderful development has been an inclination to stop obsessing on small details and avoid being distracted by transitory concerns. Hallelujah! Keep up the good work. Think big! Bigger! Biggest!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): After years

of painstaking research, the psychic surgeons at the Beauty and Truth Lab have finally perfected the art and science of Zodiac Makeovers. Using a patented technique known as Mythic Gene Engineer-

by rob brezsny ing, they are able to transplant the planets of your horoscope into different signs and astrological houses from the ones you were born with. Let’s say your natal Jupiter suffers from an uncongenial aspect with your Moon. The psychic surgeons cut and splice according to your specifications, enabling you to be recoded with the destiny you desire. Unfortunately, the cost of this pioneering technology is still prohibitive for most people. But here’s the good news, Libra: In the coming months, you will have an unprecedented power to reconfigure your life’s path using other, less expensive, purely natural means.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In high

school, I was a good athlete with a promising future as a baseball player. But my aspirations were aborted in sophomore year when the coach banished me from the team. My haircut and wardrobe were too weird, he said. I may have been a skillful shortstop, but my edgy politics made him nervous and mad. At the time, I was devastated by his expulsion. Playing baseball was my passion. But, in retrospect, I was grateful. The coach effectively ended my career as a jock, steering me toward my true callings: poetry and music and astrology. I invite you to identify a comparable twist in your own destiny, Scorpio.

What unexpected blessings came your way through a seeming adversary? The time is ripe to lift those blessings to the next level.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Do you remember that turning point when you came to a fork in the road of your destiny at a moment when your personal power wasn’t strong? And do you recall how you couldn’t muster the potency to make the most courageous choice, but instead headed in the direction that seemed easier? Well, here’s some intriguing news: Your journey has delivered you, via a convoluted route, to a place not too far from that original fork in the road. It’s possible you could return there and revisit the options—which are now more mature and meaningful—with greater authority.

Trust your exuberance.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I love writing horoscopes for you. Your interest in my insights spurs my creativity and makes me smarter. As I search for the inspiration you need next, I have to continually reinvent my approach to finding the truth. The theories I had about your destiny last month may not be applicable this month. My devotion to following your ever-shifting story keeps me enjoyably off-balance, propelling me free of habit and predictability. I’m grateful for your influence on me! Now I suggest that you compose a few thank-you notes similar to the one I’ve written here. Address them to the people in your life who move you and feed you and transform you the best.

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

an Illinois man’s wife whacked him in the neck with a hatchet, he didn’t hold a grudge. Just the opposite. Speaking from a hospital room while recovering from his life-threatening wound, Thomas Deas testified that he still loved his attacker, and hoped they could reconcile. Is this admirable or pathetic? I’ll go with pathetic.

Forgiving one’s allies and loved ones for their mistakes is wise, but allowing and enabling their maliciousness and abuse should be taboo. Keep that standard in mind during the coming weeks, Aquarius.

People close to you may engage in behavior that lacks full integrity. Be compassionate but tough-minded in your response.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Can water

run uphill? Not usually. But there’s an eccentric magic circulating in your vicinity, and it could generate phenomena that are comparable to water running uphill.

I wouldn’t be surprised, either, to see the equivalent of stars coming out in the daytime. Or a mountain moving out of your way. Or the trees whispering an oracle exactly when you need it. Be alert for anomalous blessings, Pisces. They may be so different from what you think is possible that they could be hard to recognize.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act.

Love’s Real estate

More Disclosure I received a letter: I sold my place a few months ago. I didn’t give my buyer a Transfer Disclosure Statement, and he’s trying to get back at me on some technicalities, saying they should have been disclosed.

If I didn’t know I was supposed to give him this Transfer Disclosure Statement, he can’t sue me for not giving it, can he?

The problem is the water. He claims he didn’t know you have to time your watering or you will run out of water. This is dry-ground foothill property and everybody knows the wells aren’t too strong.

The answer to your question about whether you can claim innocence because you didn’t know you were supposed to provide your buyer with a Transfer Disclosure Statement (TDS) is, more than likely, no. The TDS law has been on the books since the 1980’s and the legal world considers it common enough knowledge that a reasonable person should be aware, along the lines of say, requirements for insurance on cars, or requirements for smoke detectors in houses.

I answered:

Real estate attorneys like to remind us that the TDS law gives a buyer the “right of rescission” which means they have the right to cancel a purchase.

People in California sue each other over real estate disclosure more than anything except divorce, I’m sorry to say.

In other words, as an attorney told me, “Tell the seller to fix the problem. If he can’t fix it, tell him to get ready to buy back his property.”
