EDITORIAL

A piece of the puzzle We learned Tuesday that the Torres Community Shelter is for the first

time operating a wet shelter program at its current facility in south Chico.

This is by far the best news we’ve heard all week.

Wet shelters and programs are growing in numbers around the nation as homeless advocacy groups adopt the philosophies of the harm-reduction/ housing-first models. The idea is fairly simple: Provide homeless people with housing immediately, and then provide the services that focus on keeping them healthy, such as help for substance abuse and mental illness.

Think for a moment about what life on the streets is like for people who are sober. We know how hard it is from the stories we’ve told in CN&R over the years. Now think about what it’s like for those without sobriety and those with debilitating mental illness. It’s not hard to imagine how these issues would make the transition from the streets to stable housing exceedingly difficult.

We understand that the harm-reduction/housing-first models are controversial, but when it comes to helping solve the homeless crisis, there is no one-size-fits-all answer. Indeed, many organizations have had success with programs that include a sobriety prerequisite. However, those programs are simply not suitable for a certain segment of the homeless population.

There is another year-round local organization—Stairways—serving as a wet shelter, but there’s still an underserved segment of the community. That why it’s a big deal that the Torres Shelter, Chico’s largest and oldest emergency shelter, has taken on the cause. The facility has been around for nearly two decades, including the years it was housed in churches around town, and has operated at its standalone facility on Silver Dollar Way for the last 13. It is our community’s preeminent homeless-helping organization.

It appears from early results of the Torres Shelter’s foray into harmreduction/housing first that such a program will be successful (see Ken Smith’s report on page 9). Already, there’s no doubt that it’s another piece of the puzzle when it comes to tackling local homelessness. □

GUEST COMMENT

Environmental toll of Olympic proportions a million people, and the city dumps R50 over percent of its raw sewage into Guanabara Bay.

io de Janeiro is riddled with slums inhabited by

In that context, it’s mind-blowing that $30 billion was thrown at the Olympics.

As mind-blowing was the Olympic opening ceremony: a chartreuse “environmental themed” laser show, chock-full of photon forests and a voice booming: “The heat is melting the ice cap; it’s disappearing very quickly!” True— and I wonder if the Olympics has anything to do with it. by A round-trip flight to Brazil, Patrick Newman from either the U.S. or Europe, the author, an activist is about 10,000 miles—and from and longtime Chico Asia, about 20,000 miles. With resident, is a frequent 500,000 international visitors writer of letters to attending the games, air travel has the editor. a price tag of 1.7 million barrels of oil. That’s a hundred Olympic-size swimming pools, up in smoke—producing the CO2 weight equivalent of two Empire State Buildings.

But air travel is a fraction of the total impact.

construction, the games are an advertising orgy.

Networks spend billions for the rights to air the Olympics, knowing they will generate more billions in advertising revenue. Wanna throw napalm on an environmental holocaust? Stimulate consumer demand with as much advertising as possible.

The games are sponsored by a who’s-who of ecocidal corporations. McDonald’s, for instance, a company that has nearly torn a gluteal muscle doing PR gymnastics, straining to burnish its environmental credentials. Inconveniently, McDonald’s still sells factory-farmed meat—marketing the most greenhouse gas intensive product of all time. Along with his seat at the Olympics, Ronald McDonald should get 23 gold medals for methane production.

Meanwhile, winning Olympic athletes morph into corporate whores, promoting more consumerism. Medals have become licenses to practice corporate prostitution—the environment be damned.

Michael Phelps is both a champion swimmer and champion consumer, with a 7,000-square-foot house and net worth of $55 million.

So, about those Brazilian kids living under a few sheets of corrugated metal, carrying their little trees on day one of the festivities? I fear they were swept into Guanabara Bay, by a greenwash Tsunami. □

Pride matters Stonewall Alliance Center’s Chico Pride Weekend has never been more

important for our local LGBT community than it is today. The three-day celebration starting on Friday (Aug. 19) includes dancing, music, film, food and drink, and a festival at City Plaza.

But it should be a big weekend for everyone, not just the members of the LGBT community. We’re all in this together, and if we truly want to progress as a society and break down barriers based on our differences, we should all show up to show our support. Stonewall’s annual festivities provide a chance to celebrate how far we’ve come as a whole. Case in point: Just a couple of years ago, federal marriage equality seemed like a pipe dream. Locally, the Chico Police Department is sending a strong message by participating in the annual event.

In short, we’ve made a lot of gains nationally and in our backyard. That signals that Pride matters.

Not that 2016 has been free of bigotry. Make no mistake—there’s still a lot of hate out there. LGBT people across the country still face widespread discrimination and are disproportionately victims of violence. Indeed, this year’s Chico Pride Weekend comes in the wake of the Orlando massacre in a gay nightclub, the deadliest attack by a single shooter in the nation’s modern history (see Evan Tuchinsky’s story on page 8).

We all have reasons to celebrate and mourn. That’s why this year, especially, we’d like to encourage everyone to participate in the festivities and stand together with your friends, family members, co-workers and neighbors.

Let’s party. □

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

Fancy pants For those who attended Chico State, say, more than a decade ago, the campus has changed significantly. This realization came to me when my family and I went for a recent walk along Big Chico Creek after our regular trip to the Saturday farmers’ market.

There, we noticed the upgrades to Colusa Hall, especially on the outside of the facility, which is now home to a lovely courtyard with a large metal arbor complete with climbing vines and other plants in a raised brick flower bed.

That stroll was the inspiration for this week’s cover story, our annual Back to School Issue, in which we look at the evolving campuses of three local educational institutions: Chico State, Butte College and Chico Unified School District (see “Changing spaces,” page 25). It was an eye-opener for CN&R’s staff, as I’m sure it will be for readers who don’t have an occasion to visit the respective campuses.

For me personally, the most striking changes have occurred at the university, but that’s probably because I am a Chico State alumna. I spent a lot of time on that campus, especially during my last two years of study, when I was a reporter for the campus newspaper and practically lived at its headquarters in the basement of Plumas Hall.

Some of the changes to campus are more subtle. For instance, from the outside, passersby wouldn’t know that Colusa has new guts, including technology upgrades, because its brick exterior remains. I didn’t realize that until I conducted research for this week’s cover story. That’s also when I learned it’s the oldest building on the campus proper, dating back 1921, when the site we know as Chico State was the Normal School.

Of course, the most dramatic changes to the face of campus are the new buildings that have popped up over the years. I mean, some folks will hardly recognize parts of the complex. During my last semester, then Chico State President Manuel Esteban presided over the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Yolo Hall, home of the university’s Kinesiology Department. I remember being pretty impressed.

More than half a dozen large buildings have been constructed since then, including the now-open, ultra-modern Arts & Humanities Building. I took many literature classes in the old Taylor Hall, and while it had its charms (the occasional malfunctioning elevator), demolishing it to make way for the new arts facility was the right call.

Today’s Chico State students are attending, for lack of a better term, a fancy-pants campus. To be honest, I’m a little envious.

Speaking of undergraduates, unlike a lot of folks, I’m glad when they return toward the end of summer. Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice to have a couple of months of quiet downtown. You know, more places to park, shorter lines at the coffee shops, fewer puddles of puke to avoid on the sidewalks. But I miss the energy only they provide.

Last week, on my way home from work, I came face-to-face with a car driving the wrong direction down one-way East Fourth Street.

It happens to me around this time each year. I didn’t get angry or annoyed. Instead, I slowed down, smiled and thought to myself, “Welcome back, students.”

About the revolt Re “‘We are robbers, or we must be conquerors’” (Cover story, by Ken Smith, Aug. 11): The Bear Flag Revolt is a small footnote among the struggles that ultimately led to establishment of California as a U.S. territory.

The Bear Flaggers were a small bunch of drunken thugs that kidnapped a general without an army for three weeks. The influence of these men on the general’s wine cellar was greater than their influence on the establishment of California.

Please remember that the Mexican government at that time was much the same as it is now—that being incompetent and corrupt in its dealings with the California citizens of the time (Californios).

California militias had already routed Gov. Micheltorena in 1847, making absent any significant Mexican military presence above San Francisco. Capt. Silva surrendered Monterey without a shot fired. The Battle of San Pasqual near Los Angeles was fought to a draw in 1846.

Hostilities ended with the Treaty of Caheunga in 1847 between the Californios (not Mexico) and the U.S. (one year before the Treaty of Guadeloupe Hidalgo). This treaty kept intact Californio property rights and was incorporated into later treaties.

These treaties were honored by the U.S government.

The important point is that the California citizens of 1847 gave to us a beautiful state in return for their continued property rights and a more secure government.

Government Code. Also, our background checks are conducted by the Chico Police Department, not the FBI. I think that this is an important distinction, as our checks are performed by officers who live, work and have families in the city of Chico and have a genuine interest in the safety of our community. These two checks are also just the bare minimum of our screening process.

Drivers who wish to be licensed to service Sacramento Airport have similar screenings performed by the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department, and drivers that deliver courier packages also receive a security threat assessment administered by the TSA. I also don’t want to give the impression that my company isn’t interested in establishing a level playing field between taxi-cab companies and TNCs. We just feel that the city level is not the appropriate place for this argument. We’re members of both the Taxicab Paratransit Association of California and the Taxicab, Limousine and Paratransit Association, both of which are working toward leveling the playing field in the for-hire transportation industry at both the state and national levels.

Re “What about Costco” (Letters,

by Vic Makau, Aug. 4): While business expansion appears to be a positive thing, that is not true if it negatively impacts other businesses and employment.

That is a very compelling reason why so many people are opposed to the planned Walmart expansion here in Chico.

Some people have mentioned that there was no opposition to Costco expanding, so why single out Walmart? It should be noted that Costco consistently pays better salaries and offers better benefits to its employees. And it should be noted that right across the street FoodMaxx is still open, employing 85 people with good wages and benefits. As stated in the draft EIR, an expanded Walmart will

more than likely cause the closure of FoodMaxx, as well as other existing businesses in the area. A study by UC Irvine showed that a Walmart opening/expansion causes the loss of approximately 150 jobs.

Put another way, for every job Walmart creates, 1.4 jobs are lost.

It also reduces a county’s payroll by $1.2 million.

As for comments about additional out-of-town shoppers and additional tax revenues: Red Bluff and Willows have supercenters, and plans are underway for supercenters in Oroville and Paradise; the primary expansion plan is for groceries, which aren’t taxed, while discounted taxable items will reduce overall city tax revenue.

So, all things considered, expanding Walmart will result in local businesses closing, creating overall job losses and reducing disposable incomes that actually benefit local businesses and city tax revenue. So to the City Council I ask, which side are you on?

Three on The Donald Despite Donald Trump’s constant attacks on women, minorities, the media, Gold Star parents, Muslims and many others, and despite the latest news that Trump’s campaign manager, Paul Manafort, has allegedly taken $12 million from a Putin ally in Ukraine, local Republicans are going forward with and for Trump.

On Saturday (Aug. 20), local Republicans will open up the Chico headquarters for Trump. Republicans will do the ribbon-cutting at 11 a.m. at 1058 Mangrove Ave., the southeast corner of East First and Mangrove avenues. Everyone is invited to hold signs for your favorite candidates, whether Hillary Clinton for President, Kamala Harris for U.S. Senate, or Congressional or City Council candidates.

If you want information on how to get involved to defeat Trump, email democrats@chicodemocrats. com. We will soon announce the opening of the Democratic Party headquarters.

It’s actually been over for a while. Everything else has been a hysterical and sickening sideshow

that demonstrates clearly the low depth to which a nation-state can sink by allowing such rat filth to compete for the presidency. The troubled tycoon is unraveling fast and it is a pure pleasure to observe the breakdown.

The left wing will fly solo for at least eight more years and continue to fulfill the mission of pulling us out of the gutter we were left in by the Bush administration. The disgrace levied on America by the ridiculous right wing for believing in this idiot may put them on the sidelines for decades to come—and rightfully so.

It feels like we were very recently backed into our own end zone and ready to lose it all until President Obama’s tenure. Now we have at least marched back to the 30 yard line and are heading upfield with much better trajectory than in 2008.

It is impossible to believe anyone would support such a blatant fool and risk taking us back to the near collapse we so narrowly escaped just eight years ago.

Pain is a warning system for our bodies to alert us about something harmful. We need to get away from the source of pain or try to alleviate it in some way.

Hatred is a warning system for our emotions. It tells us there is a problem we need to solve or avoid. Intense or prolonged pain can cause faulty perception and outright delirium. Prolonged hatred results in much the same. It clouds judgment. It causes anguish. Yet, in our society today, many embrace it. Donald J. Trump is such a person.

Trump’s true platform is hatred, and more importantly for him, it is revenge. He says we need to get stronger. What is stronger?

Someone steals from me and I retaliate by stealing from them.

Problem solved? No, now we’re both thieves.

Hate is a natural part of being human. Many of us can say we hate injustice, and rightly so. The problem arises when our hatred of injustice overpowers our love for justice. We all need something to hold on to. I’d rather hold on to something constructive than something destructive.

Phil Frankenberg Chico

‘An outdated attempt’ Marco Rubio’s opinion that women with Zika virus should be denied abortions is an outdated attempt to impose sexual sanctions and nothing more.

Human life has never been sacred to any religion. Religions have instigated wars, denigrated and enslaved women and encouraged homicide. Read the Old Testament, the Koran, etc.

We do not feed the poor; we kill each other in wars; we don’t provide medical care for the poor.

Throughout history, women have been denied the choice of giving birth. We have been, and still are, victims of rape, forced marriage and social pressures.

The abortion debate is not now and has never been about the sanctity of life. A fetus is a potential life.

It’s easier to force a woman to bear a child than it is to comfort the poor, the ill and the indisposed.

Lest you think I am a heartless brute, let me add abortions in the second or third trimester make me feel ill. Children are indeed miracles, but all living children should be fed, cared for, comforted. Let’s not waste our sympathy on what could have been but never was.

Correction Howard Hardee’s Aug. 4 Newsline about local cab companies and transportation network companies contained two factual errors. First, it incorrectly stated that local cab drivers are subject to drug tests mandated by the Department of Transportation. In fact, drug tests are mandated by state law.

Second, the story misidentified the agency to which cab drivers must submit fingerprints. Fingerprints are conducted at the Chico Police Department.

We regret the errors, which have been corrected online. —ed

NEWSLINES DOWNSTROKE the virus Among us

Three locals have been infected with West Nile virus (WNV), marking the first recorded human cases in Butte County this year.

Meanwhile, health officials are investigating additional potential cases.

One of the three people infected experienced a feverish illness without complications, while the other two suffered the most severe, neuroinvasive form of WNV, according to a Butte County Public Health press release.

In rare cases, the neuroinvasive form causes death. Recovery can take weeks or months; some people have lasting impairments.

WNV, a mosquito-borne illness, has been detected in 35 of California’s 58 counties this summer, the release notes. Statewide, 22 human cases have been confirmed. In Butte County, 11 dead birds, 25 sentinel chickens and 35 mosquito samples have tested positive.

The new iteration of the Chico Heat won the Great West League championship with a 1-0 road win over the Medford Rogues on Aug. 14.

The local baseball team last played in 2002, in a professional league, but reformed this season as part of a collegiate circuit. The Heat finished the season with a record of 36-23, according to a team press release.

For the championship, the Heat faced Medford in a best-of-three series starting on Aug. 12. The Rogues won the first game at Chico’s Nettleton Stadium, 12-4.

The Heat answered with a 9-3 victory the next day in Medford, forcing a tiebreaker in which Chico State recruit Stuart Bradley pitched a complete-game shutout, allowing four hits, no walks and striking out six.

Infielder Kyle Kramer, a fellow Chico State player, drove in the game’s only run with a single in the third inning.

The deadline to qualify to run for Chico City Council ended on Friday (Aug. 12) with a total of 11 residents making the cut as official candidates for four open seats on the panel.

The latest additions ahead of the Nov. 8 election are Jon Scott and Jeffrey Glatz. Scott is a real estate investor who serves on the board of directors for the Blue Room Theatre. In a campaign statement, he cites downtown safety as a priority and refers to himself as “the no B.S. candidate.” Glatz did not respond to the CN&R before press time.

All together now Stonewall Alliance’s annual celebration buoyed by allies in the wake of Orlando massacre

Alocal members of the LGBT community felt shaken to the core last June by news s in cities and towns across the country,

of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando.

That tragedy, which claimed 49 lives, left story and deep scars. photo by Evan Tuchinsky Out of the loss has sprung an unexpected eva nt u c h i ns k y @ gain. n ew srev i ew. c o m The day after the More about Pride: tragedy, one of the stonewall Chico Pride first calls fielded by takes place Friday-sunday, the Stonewall Alliance Aug. 19-21, at Center in Chico came various locations. from Mike O’Brien, visit www.stonewall chief of the Chico chicopride.com to see the schedule and, for Police Department. It events with admission, was not a perfunctory purchase advance minute on the phone; tickets. Thomas Kelem, the center’s executive director, described the outreach as “very nice and genuine on his part” and said O’Brien wanted to “see what we needed and what he could do to help us feel and be safe.”

O’Brien’s initiative led to a town hall meeting about security for the local LGBT community, which in turn influenced how the center and the police—working togeth-

er—decided to approach this weekend’s Stonewall Chico Pride.

The Chico Police Department will have a booth at the centerpiece event Saturday (Aug. 20), the Pride Festival, at Chico City Plaza, where Volunteers in Police Service (or VIPS) also will be on hand with a vintage police car.

This represents a distinctly prominent police presence at Chico Pride, which this year celebrates its 25th anniversary.

Previously, Kelem said, officers “strolled by occasionally, and the park rangers [would come] in and out to make sure everything’s OK—but it’s the first time they’re participating in the festival itself, which is really cool.”

Maya Rand, the Stonewall Alliance Center’s program coordinator, characterized the police department’s participation as “more community involvement rather than policing” and the paradigm as “safety rather than surveillance.”

Interjected Alyssa Larson, the center’s coordinator: “Of course, if we need them...”

“Right,” Rand added. “But we don’t anticipate needing them.”

Since Orlando—even before—the local environment has not been overtly hostile for members of the LGBT community, accord-

ing to Stonewall Alliance Center staff.

They’ve received an outpouring of affirmation that has manifested, for example, in sponsorships and volunteers for Pride.

“In the case of Orlando, that was one person [shooter Omar Mateen], not a climate,” Larson said. “That we’ve seen, there’s been no community backlash, no downward slope. If anything, we’ve seen a lot more support and a lot more positivity around Chico, and Pride is looking like it’s going to be as good, if not better, than it’s ever been before.”

Stonewall Chico Pride will pay tribute to

Orlando in several ways. Friday night’s Spectacle of Wonders adult variety show at the Chico Women’s Club will include several memorial performances. Saturday, both the downtown festival and the afternoon Beer Garden and entertainment event at the Women’s Club will feature altars for the Pulse victims.

“I don’t know that we’ll ever stop talking about it or thinking about it or remembering it; it was a huge tragedy in our country and in our community,” Rand said. “It’s brought our community together and it’s also brought our allies out from hibernation … as tragedies seem to do, it’s bringing people together even more within

the community.”

Pride will not be a funeral dirge, however.

“We want to focus on Chico for Chico Pride,” Rand added, “while also celebrating other communities. We are absolutely keeping Pulse in mind while also focusing on moving forward as a community and strengthening our community as well.”

Serendipitously, the headline entertainer and emcee for Friday night’s show, Spikey Van Dykey, comes from Orlando. Pride organizers asked for input and ascertained that the mood there has progressed from mourning to, as Rand put it, “remembering and celebrating and strengthening the community. I want to make sure we are respecting that feeling.”

As such, Pride comprises a series of upbeat events. The teen dance Friday night at Trinity United Methodist Church has a roaring ’20s theme. The variety show, produced by dancer/ choreographer and drag king Tucker Noir, has a Vaudevillian circus vibe.

Also on the schedule are an adult dance Saturday night at the Women’s Club, a free brunch Sunday in Bidwell Park’s Oak Grove and an inaugural film festival Sunday night at the Pageant Theatre.

“I think we have more entertainment,” Kelem said. “At the Plaza Saturday, it’s more packed, and [also] at the Beer Garden. I think things are filling in more, as well as adding new stuff.”

Added Rand: “It gets bigger and better every year—we’re trying to keep that going this year as well.”

With Pride, the overarching goal for the Stonewall Alliance Center is to “bring the community together, have a lot of fun and create awareness and inclusion,” Rand said. Part of that awareness is for the label GSM (gender and sexual minority) that has entered the lexicon to replace the various LGBT iterations.

“Everyone has a different version of which letters to say and include, which order they go in,” Larson explained.

“That leads to kind of a hierarchical separation of who is what and who fits where; and, if you are trying to be inclusive, there are so many identities that we’d need to list in order not to leave anyone out.”

Exclusion would be the antithesis of Pride. □

Breaking down barriers Torres Community Shelter announces wet shelter program executive director of the Torres Shelter, Brad Montgomery AhassCommunity faced his share of moral quandaries in

determining how to best address the needs of the homeless people the shelter serves.

A large source of that turmoil is the organization’s traditional status as a dry shelter, meaning that guests must maintain sobriety in order to stay there.

“This job hasn’t changed my values, but it’s been interesting how often I find those values in conflict with each other,” Montgomery said during an interview last month. “I have a responsibility to keep kids and families safe here, but I also have a responsibility to not let people die in the streets. From time to time, those two things have been at odds.

“Falling off the wagon is a natural part of recovery, but in the past we’ve had to suspend people [from the shelter] for relapsing.

Some sober up and get right back in the program, but others fall into a deep hole and we might not see them for weeks or months.”

Montgomery is hoping a recent sea change in the shelter’s policy will alleviate that problem: The Torres Shelter has been dry since it started in 1997, but since late June has offered a wet shelter program for those who don’t meet the sobriety requirement.

The changes were announced on Tuesday (Aug. 16). In a follow-up interview, Montgomery said his staff kept the roll-out under wraps to cause minimal disruption to existing shelter services. He also wanted to gather preliminary quantitative data and give it a trail run.

Montgomery said challenges included

maintaining safety, as the shelter houses several families. He also didn’t want to interfere with other guests in recovery, as sobriety is still required in the shelter’s primary program. The wet portion thus far includes five beds separated from the larger population.

The program has served 27 individuals to date, all but eight of whom Montgomery reported have gotten sober and returned to the primary program.

The changes at the shelter coincide with

broader changes in how society is addressing homelessness. While programs that hinge on sobriety were once the norm, a newer model known as harm reduction/housing first— aimed at providing housing before dealing with mental health and addiction issues—has grown more prevalent in recent years.

In fact, federal funding to combat homelessness in the form of the Emergency Solutions Grants Program offered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has added stipulations in recent years that housing can’t be contingent on barriers, such as sobriety. The Torres Shelter

SIFT ER California’s gold California universities clinched the top spots on a list of 11 colleges producing the most American athletes for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

16, while UCLA and the University of Southern California tied for third with 15 athletes each competing at the games. Rounding out the list are Pennsylvania State University (University Park) and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, each with 13; the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Oregon with 12; and Princeton University, which tied the universities of Washington and Georgia with 11 athletes.

depends heavily on that funding source and applied for two grants totaling $330,000 in July, but Montgomery said that’s not what spurred the change.

“We’ve wanted to do something like this for a long time, and when we finally figured out a good way to do it, we took action,” he said.

Montgomery said the wet shelter program will expand in the near future, and he eventually wants to see a separate facility and staff dedicated to its operation. He said it’s too early to peg a timeline or projected costs of such a project.

“If the public really gets behind this, supports it and lets us know this is what our community wants and needs, then we’d like to make it happen sooner than later,” he said.

Chico City Councilwoman Tami Ritter, who served as the Torres Shelter’s executive director from 2000 to 2005, said Tuesday that she approves of the change.

“It’s been proven that efforts to combat homelessness are much more successful when you remove that kind of criteria,” she said. “We’ve found that when we focus on getting individuals into a safe place first, it’s much easier to then address those issues that can contribute to keeping them homeless. It’s important to break down those barriers.

“I’m also glad they did it because that’s the direction state and federal funding is going. The Torres Shelter provides a valuable service to our community, and anything they can do to improve that service and ensure that organization continues is good for Chico.”

The two towers Chico State’s upgrading its infrastructure to keep up with new building construction huge water-storage tank with a fierce-looking Wildcat logo is Aa familiar landmark for students

who’ve played lacrosse, flag football, soccer, ultimate disc or softball on a multipurpose field in front of Yolo Hall. Positioned in the southwest corner of Chico State’s sprawling athletics complex, it’s visible from the bike path that runs along the western boundary of campus, parallel to the train tracks.

Why is it there? As most passersby likely are unaware, the tank, constructed in the early 1960s, is a critical piece of university infrastructure. The water stored inside is used to heat and cool every building on campus.

“A lot of people probably don’t know what it does or that it’s even there,” said David Wymore, a project manager with Chico State’s Planning, Design and Construction Department.

However, people probably do

Next fall, a second water storage tank will be completed next to the existing one at Chico State’s Central Plant.

wonder why, since early July, the athletic field has been torn out, a row of redwood trees has been cut down and a chain-link fence has gone up around the area. That’s because the university is building a similarly proportioned water tank adjacent to the existing one as part of the Central Plant Modifications Project.

It’s partially for the sake of increased efficiency. The Central Plant’s boiler and chiller equipment, housed in a structure at the base of the water tank, sorely needs upgrading, said Sandra Beck, Chico State’s campus architect. The main impetus, however, is new construction on campus— specifically, the Arts & Humanities Building (see “Open university,” page 24).

“We now have more square footage on campus than what the existing plant is able to cool,” she said. “So, we’re adding capacity.”

It’s a problem the university has seen coming for more than a decade. Chico State’s Master Plan 2005 notes that new building construction was “severely

hampered by the lack of sufficient utility infrastructure to support the current and planned facilities efficiently and cost-effectively.”

The Central Plant’s storage tank

is 75 feet tall and holds 1.3 million gallons of water, which runs through on-site chillers and boilers. Then, steam and cold water is distributed to the university’s buildings through a series of underground pipes and used either for heating or air conditioning.

“The chilled water and the steam, it’s all in a recirculating system,” Wymore said. “Once the water is in the system, it goes into the buildings, it’s used and returned [to the plant] to be recooled or reheated. There’s minimal water being wasted.”

Due to Pacific Gas & Electric’s rate schedule, which charges more for energy expenditures during the day, the plant usually runs its chillers at night—ideally, at least. That hasn’t been the case since the Arts & Humanities Building was completed, Wymore said.

“Right now, we’re over our

For our Chico Area friends, we are having an tank capacity and cooling water during peak times,” he said, “so we’re paying more to cool that water than if we had an additional tank and a chiller.”

Construction of the new tank— along with a second structure to house more boilers and a chiller— is set for completion in November 2017.

In total, the project will cost $18.9 million, Beck said. It’s paid for by infrastructure improvement funds through California State University’s Capital Outlay Program and money directed from the Arts & Humanities Building project budget.

New equipment for both buildings will be acquired though lease financing, Beck said. The plant is still using its original boilers from the 1960s.

“The existing equipment is at a point where it could fail very easily,” she said. “Technology has changed so much over the years, especially with boilers, chillers and pumps.”

Even though the plant will double in size, it should cost less to operate the equipment once it’s upgraded, she said.

Rest in Peace, Alan

When the dust settles next fall, the

university will replant the 15 redwood trees it cut down this summer, Beck said. The sports field will be resurfaced and reopened to the public. The nearby ropes course, used mostly by outdoor education students, will remain open throughout the construction period.

In the meantime, as a tradeoff for closing the sports field in front of Yolo Hall, the university has been patching up and watering a long-neglected field on the north end of the athletic complex, between the University Soccer Stadium and West Sacramento Avenue.

The project may have an eye on the future, but for now Beck and Wymore are focusing on day-today challenges, such as directing heavy equipment and concretepouring trucks around students passing through the athletics complex.

“It’s an area of campus that there’s less attention on,” Beck said, “but that doesn’t mean there’s less activity.”

HEALTHLINES Eric Snedeker, director of special services for Chico Unified School District, says only a few parents have called with concerns about the state’s new vaccination law.

Snedeker and Ficcardi fielded a handful of calls combined. For several parents who still object to vaccines, Ficcardi said she helped them explore other options, such as independent study.

“We’re trying to provide them as many opportunities to come to school,” Ficcardi added. “There are a few parents that get upset and don’t like that the [federal] government or the state is dictating to them.

I’m hoping they understand it’s not the school districts making up this requirement, that it really is the state law, and by it being a state law we need to be able to enforce it.”

Snedeker also made the distinction between following the law and taking an issue position: “I’m here to work with parents, not challenge them.”

ticularly those of kindergarteners and Tseventh-graders—have come face-to-face his academic year, local parents—par-

with the state’s stance on vaccinations.

Senate Bill 277 took effect Jan. 1, with full impact July 1, establishing a set of immunizations as a prerequisite for attending school unless a student receives a specified medical waiver issued by a physician.

The new law eliminates the “personal belief exemption” that allowed families to enroll unvaccinated children in schools if the parents had religious, ethical or other objections to vaccines.

The law is being challenged—a group of parents in San Diego is suing to overturn SB 277—but the immunization requirement remained in force as children across Butte County returned to school this week.

“We don’t have flexibility like there used to be,” said Eric Snedeker, director of special services for Chico Unified School District. “It’s strict, there are guidelines, and the federal government and the state monitor what we do.

“We comply with the law.”

That means schools cannot allow a

student into a classroom until receiving verification that the child is up-to-date on all required vaccinations.

Mary Ficcardi, director of special services for Paradise Unified School District, said proof of a doctor’s appointment will work on an interim basis, but should parents not follow through on the vaccination schedule, the children would be unable to return to school.

It may sound harsh, she said, but if there’s a local outbreak, parents of kids who don’t have all their immunizations will “receive a call or letter saying, ‘Your child can’t come to school.’”

Ficcardi, like Snedeker, serves as her district’s administrator for health services. “So there is a bigger picture here.”

Ficcardi cited whooping cough as an example: The state mandated the vaccine known as Tdap—a combined preventative for tetanus (aka “lockjaw”), diptheria and

pertussis (whooping cough)—for schoolchildren after a spike in whooping cough cases that resulted in some fatalities.

Neither CUSD nor Paradise Unified School District—the county’s two large K-12 districts—received much parental pushback before the first day of school.

appointMent

to which the provisions of SB 277 fully apply, but districts began implementing the law during the last school year. Paradise updated its board policy on vaccinations to match the new requirements. In both Chico and Paradise, school-site health officials coordinated with district officials on parental outreach about the changes.

Kindergarten and seventh grade represent the two “checkpoints” for immunizations. In other words, students entering those two grades must provide vaccination records or medical exemptions. (This requirement also extends to youngsters entering child care and students at any grade level transferring from another state.)

In the case of kindergarten, Snedeker explained, “those are new parents in the system so they may not truly understand it yet.” The district and campuses have been HEALTHLINES c o n t i n u e d

particularly active in contacting those incoming families. In the case of seventh-graders, he continued, “those parents have had enough communication during the school year, but we have to stay on top of it.”

Both CUSD and PUSD have sustained these efforts for at least six months.

“If we have typical parents that are waiting until the last minute, they might find it hard to get into the doctor or the health clinic or wherever they need to go to get their shots,” Snedeker said. “So we’ve been trying to get word out there. We want kids to start school on the [first day].”

For those missing immunizations, he added, CUSD will have a “case by case relationship with parents” to get the children vaccinated for school.

“It’s not going to be a large number of students; it’s going to be a very narrow number because we’re trying to be proactive and parents want their kids in school,” he added. “It affects their daycare, it affects their jobs, it affects their lives, and parents value education.

“I think the team approach, with

the relationships with the parents and the school sites, is going to be the solution to assisting in making sure all kids have the opportunity to come to school.”

Indeed, Ficcardi said, excluding a child from classroom participation is a last resort. PUSD health personnel check the state vaccination registry routinely to ensure each student’s record is updated even if parents haven’t supplied all the information. They also will continue to follow up with families on records requests and appointments.

“We’re really trying to bombard it from all different ways,” she said.

“We want kids in school. We want to do everything we possibly can to have kids in a safe, healthy environment because we know that’s where they need to be. We know we want them to be successful students and healthy students.” □

Perishable food—meat, poultry, fish and eggs—needs to go. Most other foods are safe, so long as the power isn’t out for more than four hours.

Here’s a quick guide: Toss: • Raw or leftover cooked meats, poultry and seafood • Soy meat substitutes • Soft cheeses • Eggs and dishes containing eggs • Milk, sour cream and yogurt • Casseroles, stews and soups • Pizza Save: • Hard and processed cheeses • Butter and margarine • Pasteurized fresh juices • Fresh and canned fruits • Raw vegetables • Condiments • Bread, tortillas • Vinegar-based dressings

trash talkin’

Shelly Rogers trash-hunting along the Chico bike path she cleans up religiously.

Chico woman puts her hate of litter into action thought, ‘OK, well that’s interesting.’ There was a bunch of other stuff near it like makeup, some clothes. I assume it was from a car that got broken into and whatever wasn’t taken was thrown by the path, and the mannequin head did not make the cut.

story and photo by

picking up trash as a “hobby” durAingbegan her walks through Upper Bidwell Park bout 10 years, ago, Chicoan Shelly Rogers

with her now-deceased husky-corgi mix, Blue. Rogers said she was astonished by the amount of trash she’d find and decided something had to be done. So, last year, she began what some have called a fool’s errand—cleaning up the litter along the bike path that begins at The Esplanade and continues past Rio Lindo and East avenues.

She documents her quest on Facebook and Instagram (search “Chico Trash Walking”).

Many people know she goes on trash walks, but until now, she’s kept her identity under wraps when it comes to social media.

The accounts help document the trash she finds, she says, including but not limited to needles, razor blades, rotting food, unidentifiable liquids, disposable gloves, condoms and couches. Last Saturday (Aug. 13), the CN&R met up with Rogers outside her work, the Pacific Gas & Electric building on Rio Lindo Avenue. Armed with two trash grabbers, a reusable coffee cup and trash bags, Rogers discussed her hopes, doubts and the future of her ongoing war against refuse.

You’ve been trying to clean up this area for more than a year—have you seen much progress?

My initial thought was the more I pick up, the less there was going to be. So I started taking pictures, and I started the Facebook page when I was naive and optimistic and I thought, “I’ll pick up litter and document what kind of difference it’s making.” It has not worked out like that. In fact, there’s probably more now than there was when I started here. I don’t know why.

I can’t really give a reason for it. But the things I find, and really just the volume of it, is really just bizarre, so I just continue to take pictures.

Have you received any feedback on your work?

If you see somebody picking up trash and

Are there times when the volume of trash is especially bad? How much do you typically pick up?

Here’s what I’ve noticed: In the hot weather, summertime, it’s twice as bad as in the winter. There are just more people out.

I would say this is normal for summertime.

Sometimes I can only make it [just more than halfway to East Avenue] before I have to turn around. Rio Lindo to East Avenue is a quarter mile. So sometimes I get 13 gallons of litter in 16-hundredths of a mile on a path I just picked up 24 hours ago.

What can people do to help?

you give them a few nice words, it’s a really nice thing to do. It will keep them going.

[On] social media, everyone has been really, really encouraging. When I first started on the bike path, I felt like a total weirdo, and I still kind of do. I wonder what people think about me. I think a lot of people think I work for the city. I imagine people think I’m doing court-ordered community service. So getting the nice feedback from social media has been so encouraging. There are some days when I think I don’t want to do this anymore. It’s depressing. It’s discouraging.

But then I think, you know, if I post a picture on Instagram and I get some nice feedback, I know that’ll keep me going.

What about people on the bike path? How do they react?

I would say about a third of the people say nice things. About two-thirds of the people ignore me. When I’m at One-Mile, pretty much everybody ignores me. They almost go out of their way to pretend like they don’t see me. I don’t like it.

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve found?

About two weeks ago, I found a mannequin head, like an art student would use.

So I’m walking along and there’s just this mannequin head lying near a backpack. I

ECO EVENT GReen pARty Chico is home to a number of community gardens, and the Humboldt Community Garden is one of the most impressive. The cityowned lot at the corner of Humboldt Road and El Monte Avenue sat in limbo for about 20 years before the Butte environmental Council was given permission to transform it into garden space in 2012, and it is now the site of 55 separate plots producing hundreds of varieties of flowers and vegetables.

The green space will serve as the site for a Garden party and plant Sale on Sunday, Aug. 21, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., featuring vendors and informational booths focused on gardening and sustainability.

I would say if anybody who reads this or thought about this would pick up three pieces of litter a day, even around their house or their business, Chico would look so much better. That’s the downside of picking up trash—you start to see litter all over the place. I want to jump out of my car at stop lights and get litter. I haven’t gotten to that point yet, but I have a feeling I might. So the end game, even if a few people are inspired to pick up where they live, where they work, where they drive by every day, then my picking up every day would be worth it. □

Specialty rolls on the ridge Nestled in the hills of Magalia, on the Skyway, sits an unassuming, cozy little diner-style cottage that is the home of a new restaurant, Sakura Sushi. “Sakura” means “cherry blossom” in Japanese. And although it’s been open only a few months, the restaurant’s friendly staff, delicious food and seasoned chef are all helping this quaint sushi restaurant make a name for itself on the Ridge. Woody Xie is the mastermind behind Sakura.

A veteran chef whose native land is China, Xie spent 10 years cooking in Los Angeles and New York before moving his family to Butte County. Three years ago, he and his wife, Jenny, bought Lynn’s Optimo just down the Skyway in Paradise. The nightclub/Chinese restaurant is a popular spot to grab a drink, play pool, lounge on the patio, chow down on some housemade Chinese food and listen to live, local music. Since moving here, Xie has become a role model in Paradise and Magalia, where he employs more than two dozen people at both of his businesses.

At Sakura Sushi, the wide selection of menu items—from yakitori and udon soups to sushi combos and bento boxes—are affordable and made fresh while

you wait; and the friendly downhome atmosphere almost guarantees you’ll feel like family. Xie has applied for a liquor license, and he expects to obtain it within the next few months, at which point Sakura will serve wine, sake and beer. Xie recently sat down with the CN&R and, as he speaks little English, his son, Mei, a student at Chico State, translated.

The change is happening. Can you feel it? It started a week or so ago— restaurants were a little busier, the streets filled with a few more cars. By the time this hits stands, we’ll be in the thick of the new school year.

In other words, it’s starting to feel like Chico again. So, welcome, students! Among the perks of being young in this town, you’ll find that many local businesses offer discounts just for, you know, being you. With a flash of your student ID, you’ll be handed free sodas with meals as well as other deals. I was grabbing lunch at Pita Pit the other day and noticed a sign at the register for a student discount app, one I (somehow) hadn’t heard of before, called Pocket Points.

Pocket Points was launched two years ago by two Chico State grads, Rob Richardson and Mitch Gardner. And it’s kind of genius because it serves two purposes, both of which can further your college career. 1. It offers rewards, in the form of points, for locking your phone while in class, and 2. Those points are redeemable at local restaurants and retail stores for free or free-er stuff, aka “gifts.”

I was blown away by the number of businesses that participate. Kudos to Richardson and Gardner for getting so many on board—and for expanding to campuses across the country. See, students, your hard work can pay off!

Locally, the Pocket Points app is available to Chico State and Butte College students. Here are just a few of the perks; download the app for a full rundown: • 5 points will let you extend happy hour at Unwined at 980 • 10 points will get you a free round of mini golf at FunLand/Cal Skate Chico, 20 percent off your order at Kona’s or a free Ultra PRO deck box at Chico Magic • 20 points can be redeemed for half off a U-lock at Campus Bicycles or BOGO half off on women’s clothing at Anika Burke • 50 points will get you half off your froyo at Jon & Bon’s or a free month of level 1 tanning at The Electric Lounge My personal favorite gifts listed are at La Cocina Economica, which, among some genuinely cool rewards, offers a Monopoly-esque “jump to the front of the line” bonus for 25 points and a free hug for just 10 points (“Official hugs may last from 3-5 seconds and may be substituted by a hi-five at our discretion”).

M’OrOville The historic Oroville Inn is making some real progress. Photos on its Facebook page show the residential wing is looking fresh and clean, a far cry from this reporter’s prerenovation visit last summer. Developer Bud Tracy emailed me last week to report that a new Northwest Lineman College sign was just put up, serving as an official welcome to that school’s students, who will become the inn’s first tenants in a decade. Furniture is set to arrive in October and 120 students will move in around Thanksgiving, he says. Get ready, downtown Oroville!

Open university Changing spaces A time of evolution, growth for local campuses

Welcome to CN&R’s

annual Back to School Issue. This is an exciting time of year for our community’s educational institutions as well as the public at large.

Classes begin at Chico State and Butte College next week, and Chico Unified School District is already in session.

In this package of stories, we take a look at all three institutions, with a focus on the sweeping physical changes to their respective campuses over the last decade, as well as future projects, some of which are reliant on the passage of local bond measures.

As always, we hope this is a productive and successful school year for students and faculty.

tion,” he said. “We wanted to extend the social atmosphere from downtown to the university.”

The promenade is one of many construction projects outlined in Chico State’s Master Plan 2005 and completed during Zingg’s tenure. Since it was near its final draft when he became president in 2004, Zingg didn’t have much of a hand in crafting the document, which

his newspaper ran a story in 2008 that listed Chico’s top 10 eyesores. Included was Chico State’s Performing Arts Center, the backside of which still presents a big, windowless wall to downtown’s West Second Street.

“It’s almost as if the building is snubbing the city of Chico,” the article reads.

“Of course, that sentiment isn’t true.” The PAC wasn’t built with its back turned; the campus has changed around it. Its frontside faces the university’s pedestrian promenade, a section of West First Street that was still open to downtown traffic when construction was completed in 1967.

Still, it’s always been one of retired Chico State President Paul Zingg’s least favorite buildings.

“I wanted buildings that are open through design, that signify pride in being part of the city,” he said recently by phone from his new home in Danville.

The university’s recent construction projects are more welcoming to the surrounding community, he said. For instance, the promenade— cutting a broad path through the south side of campus from a stone entrance near Celestino’s New York Pizza to the Wildcat Recreation Center (WREC)—was designed to be a social center and interface with downtown.

“We wanted the campus to be distinctive in its own right yet more connected to the city, so folks would have a sense of having arrived on the campus, but it would be an easy and natural transi-

S n a p A few of Chico State’s major projects over the last decade Colusa Hall Colusa Hall received a facelift back in 2010 that turned the university’s oldest structure—the only building dating back to the original Normal School—into a conference and classroom facility with modern audio/visual equipment.

Prior to the remodel, it served as administrative offices, classrooms and food service. Funded by Chico State’s Regional and Continuing Education.

The five-story structure is home to student housing and a dining facility for its approximately 200 residents.

2008. The 120,000-foot brickand-stucco facility houses offices such as Admissions, Career Planning and Placement, Upward Bound and Financial Aid. State bond funded.

BUDGET: $46 MILLION

Gateway Science Museum The relatively small single-story facility adjacent to Bidwell Mansion comprises 9,698 square feet.

Gateway Science Museum was completed in 2009 and is home to permanent exhibits highlighting aspects of the North State’s natural environment, as well as broader traveling exhibits. The project received a $3 million state grant via Proposition 40, but the bulk of it was paid for through private donations.

BUDGET: $14.2 MILLION

goals, Zingg explained. One was to support growing enrollment with contemporary, energy-efficient student spaces while complementing the historic quarter’s redbrick buildings—Kendall Hall, Laxson Auditorium, Ayres Hall and Trinity Hall.

As such, both the Student Services Center, which opened on the corner of Second and Ivy streets in 2008, and the Sutter Hall complex, the dormitory and dining hall that went up on Legion Avenue in 2010, incorporate those signature redbrick elements into overall modern designs.

Another was to accent buildings with public art, such as hiring art-

ist John Pugh to re-create his celebrated Academe—the trompe l’oeil-style mural that gives the illusion of a hole in the building that reveals a Greek edifice.

Pugh originally painted the piece as a Chico State student in 1981 on the nowdemolished Taylor Hall. His re-creation, finished last year, is in nearly the same spot on the new Arts and Humanities Building (aka Taylor II).

“Clearly, that’s a pretty powerful statement about the importance of the arts for the university, and that the arts are part of what makes Chico so attractive,” Zingg said.

The master plan also emphasized open layouts. Take, for example, the Arts and Humanities Building, one of the first structures visitors see upon entering the promenade from downtown. It has an interior courtyard and floor-to-ceiling windows on the upper stories facing Kendall Hall. Unlike the PAC, passersby can see what’s happening inside through windows facing West Second Street, Zingg said.

The same goes for the opposite end of the promenade, where the WREC opened in fall 2009 as a state-of-the-art workout facility for students. The weightlifting area and group classrooms on the second floor are visible from the outside through glass walls.

Visually, at least, both buildings are open to the broader community.

Many of the buildings in the master plan were state-funded. Some of the exceptions include the WREC, paid for by student fees and $5 million from the university’s coffers; the Gateway Science Museum, buoyed by private donations and a state grant; the Normal Street Parking Structure, funded by a variety of sources, including parking fees; and Sutter Hall, with the bulk of its funding through housing fees.

What’s up next? The master plan outlines a project to tear down the existing Siskiyou Hall, the one-story science building to the north of Meriam Library, and replace it with an ultra-modern, fourstory structure. Elsewhere on campus, the plan calls for a new child care center and extensive recreational aquatic complex.

The master plan is updated every decade or so, Zingg said, which means his successor, President Gayle Hutchinson, may soon set about making her own mark on the university. Into the future, he hopes Hutchinson will mind the symbiotic relationship between Chico State and the city of Chico.

“A big reason that Chico State is attractive to students is its proximity to downtown,” Zingg said, “and a big reason for the success of the city is its connection to campus.” Ω MORE

Career opportunities Butte College proposes $190 million bond measure to bolster vocational programs and improve infrastructure story and photos by

he welding technology program at Butte College offers students the opportunity to acquire the necessary skills and certification to land a high-paying job just one year out of high school. However, with just 50 slots available each fall, it’s an opportunity available only to the few who plan ahead.

“The waiting list right now is two years,” said Don Robinson, chair of the college’s welding program, during a recent visit to the welding and manufacturing building on Butte College’s main campus. “If students aren’t on our radar by the time they’re juniors in high school, then they’re kind of lost.

It’s really tough for them to come out as seniors and say they want to take welding here, because there just isn’t any room.”

Robinson said the program doubled its enrollment about 10 years ago, and is in need of doing so again. He also said students could benefit from new facilities and upgraded equipment, as some of the department’s machinery is decades old. The college has plans to to expand and upgrade the welding program and make other campus improvements, but the plans are contingent on voter approval of a $190 million education bond.

The Butte College board of

trustees voted unanimously last month to put the bond measure— dubbed the Butte College Repair, Safety, Job Training Measure—on November’s general election ballot in both Butte and Glenn counties.

It is subject to a comprehensive 55 percent voter-approval threshold.

“Last spring and summer, we did a lot of community outreach, giving presentations and conducting surveys to find out what the 28

community thought our priorities should be,” Butte College President Samia Yaqub said last week regarding how the bond came to be. She said about 70 percent of those surveyed during outreach efforts also said they would support such a measure.

“What they told us, and we agree with, is that providing vocational education to prepare people for jobs is important,” Yaqub said. “[We need to focus on] careers like nursing, law enforcement and those kinds of programs where people can go through in two years and come out with certification or degrees that can lead to highpaying jobs for which there is significant demand. In addition to working on those career pathways, we also need to be sure our stu-

dents headed on [to fouryear schools] are properly prepared to transfer.”

In addition to bolstering education and vocational programs, funds would be used for new construction—including a new home for the welding department and replacing outdated classrooms and laboratories—and to overhaul aging infrastructure at the main campus.

Yaqub noted Butte College will celebrate its 50th anniversary next year, and has been at its current site since the mid-1970s. Much of the school’s facilities have not been updated in that time.

“We have a lot of old gas lines, water lines, electrical wiring and things like that that need to be replaced,” Yaqub said, noting larger enrollment also necessitates upgrades. She said the campus was designed when there were only about 6,000 students. The school serves about 17,000 now.

The last time Butte College

initiated a bond measure was in 2002, when voters passed Measure

A, an $84.9 million general obligation bond to construct, repair and equip classrooms, labs and other facilities.

Les Juaron, the school’s vice president of planning, research and organizational development, outlined some of the improvements made with those funds. He said the college was able to use the funding to leverage another $70 million in state dollars, much of which was put toward a half-dozen large construction projects: the school’s Chico Center; the Allied Health and Public Services Center (home of the nursing, police and fire programs); Learning Resource Center and library expansion; Arts building; Student and Administrative Services building; and renovation of the Campus Center.

“Before we built those new facilities, we had a lot of programs that had expanded in mobile classrooms,” Juaron said. “It looked like we had a bunch of trailer parks on campus.”

Juaron said spending the Measure A money was overseen by a citizens’ oversight committee, and that a similar committee will be formed to monitor the new bond if voters approve it. The bond also

has an accountability provision that ensures money can’t be spent on administrators’ salaries or pensions.

Measure A funding also went toward installing the school’s 25,000-plus solar panels, Juaron said. In 2011, Butte became the first college in history to reach grid-positive status—meaning the school can generate more electricity than it uses.

The college’s president also noted bond funds would be used to support a growing segment of the student population: veterans.

“We’ve found we have an increasing number of veterans returning to school, and that’s something schools are seeing across the country,” Yaqub said.

“In 2008, we started a Veterans Resource Center where they could find camaraderie and support for mental health, emotional and academic needs.

“It was the first of its kind and has served as great model for other programs, but it’s also in an old portable. We’d really like to get it into a permanent facility.” □

Designing district Chico Unified revamps campuses, seeks new bond funding for further improvements story and photos by

he past 18 months, but particularly this summer, brought the most significant physical transformation across Chico Unified School District campuses in decades.

Assistant Superintendent Kevin Bultema says the construction and renovation under way since spring semester 2015 total $38 million. He and Julie Kistle, facilities and construction director, rattled off projects that included deferred maintenance work: carpeting, painting seven elementary schools, repairing heating and air-conditioning units, and patching asphalt and roofs.

Most notable were gilding touches to the crowning achievements: large-scale improvements at all three middle schools.

CUSD also enhanced athletic fields at Pleasant Valley and Chico high schools.

This home-stretch bustling culminated years of work funded by two significant bond allocations: Measure A for $39 million, approved in 1998 to build a third high school but instead (with $11 million in additional state funding) applied to the two current campuses, plus Fair View (alternative ed) and Inspire (charter); and Measure E for $78 million, approved in 2012. Of that Measure E amount, $15 million in bonds have been sold; the rest of the $38 million spent has come from developer fees and state matching funds, and was applied as advertised to maintenance and middle schools.

“It has been amazing the things we have been able to accomplish with those dollars—really nice,” said Kistle, seated at a picnic table with Bultema on the patio of Marsh Junior High’s new multipurpose building, which serves as a student union.

If Chicoans agree, work will continue.

CUSD has another bond request on the ballot. Measure K, which

will go before voters in the Nov. 8 election, totals $152 million: $130 million for district schools and $22 million for charter schools within district boundaries.

This money primarily would fund improvements on elementary campuses; CUSD’s Facilities Master Plan (or FMP) also calls for additional work on high school athletic facilities.

“If we are lucky enough to have our bond pass,” Kistle said, “we are ready to pounce on getting those [projects’ architectural plans] done.”

All told, the FMP comprises $400 million worth of what Bultema calls “identified need,” which he described as what’s required to give schools across the district equivalent facilities.

“It’s not gold-plating,” he added.

“It isn’t even taking them to a higher standard that we’d love to see.”

Meanwhile, Kistle and her team have focused on the tasks at hand, which have been multiple and varied. Each middle school—starting this year the “junior high” campuses enroll sixth- through eighthgraders (rather than just seventhand eighth-graders), to alleviate crowding at elementary schools— received significant attention.

One commonality is high-speed Internet infrastructure. The three Last week, workers were putting the finishing touches on the new drop-off point at Chico Junior High in front of the newly painted gym.

campuses got 10G wiring plus high-capacity wireless hot spots sandwiched by classrooms.

“If that’s the only thing we did to improve student learning,” Kistle said, “that’s huge…. Teachers actually can utilize their technology so much better now.”

Every school in the district got safety and security upgrades, most notably for “code red” lockdowns.

Fencing and security cameras also were installed where needed. The middle schools also are more accessible under the Americans with Disabilities Act and have improved facilities for special education.

Here are site-specific improvements:

Chico Junior High

Most conspicuously, the campus gained a new L-shaped building across a grassy field from the gym, where a new drop-off/pick-up point was constructed.

The new building houses three science labs plus a long connecting room with additional work areas.

Existing science classrooms were fully renovated.

Exterior walls and hallways received new paint; the multipurpose room and library were refreshed, too. Particular attention went to the restrooms.

“My wife attended Chico Junior 30 years ago,” Bultema said, “and we were touring the facility before I started working [at CUSD in

2013] and she said, ‘Kevin, these bathrooms look exactly like they did when I went to school here!’”

Each was fully renovated.

Marsh Junior High

The multipurpose building, with its adjacent quad, stands as the centerpiece of Marsh’s expansion, though the school also received a new science building, parking lot, paint and fencing, plus repairs to a dry-rotted walkway.

The student union combines a multipurpose room with a cafeteria, performing arts space and classroom. Inside it has a kitchen, dining room and stage; outside, restrooms and a covered eating area overlooking the grassy, amphitheaterconfigured quad.

The science building holds four labs—equipped, like Chico Junior’s, with computers that interface with the teacher’s large touchscreen—as well as an engineering space with a retracting door that opens to a covered patio for a more flexible working area.

Bidwell Junior High

This campus received no new buildings. Instead, its administration center got gutted and reconfigured; the multipurpose room and library remodeled; and the gym repainted, refloored and reequipped with air conditioning.

Julie Kistle and Kevin Bultema show off the cafeteria inside Marsh Junior High’s new student union.

“It was a dingy, dark place,” Kistle said of the gym. “Now it’s beautiful.”

The campus also got an exterior paint job, a new drop-off point out front and a solar array.

PV and Chico High

The facilities plan calls for the comparable athletic upgrades at both high schools, Bultema said, and this summer’s work was intended to “get the ball rolling” in anticipation of Measure K. Chico and Pleasant Valley each got its track resurfaced and all-weather turf on the fields—used for football, soccer and field hockey— funded by one-time monies versus bonds.

This work is the latest in a line of projects that have reshaped both campuses. Monuments to Measure A include a classroom building where PV faces Marigold Elementary, completed in 2015, and a classroom wing on the north side of CHS, completed in 2011. □ Find the plan:

AUGUST 18, 2016

THIS WEEK replaces the two-story 52-year-old Alva P. Taylor Hall—was completed earlier this summer. It opens for classes for the first time beginning Monday (Aug. 22), the start of the fall semester.

A couple of weeks ago, Joseph Alexander, associate dean of the College of Humanities and Fine Arts, led this writer on a tour of the new building. He highlighed its many impressive features, including a state-of-the-art recording studio with connectivity to many performance spaces on campus as well as the old recording studio (in the PAC), and huge glass-blowing and ceramic studios, both with windows looking out on an inner courtyard.

And of course, every corner of the complex is wired for the modern world, with smart classrooms, studios, study areas, conference rooms and lecture halls. Many are equipped with retractable screens and projectors and wireless connectivity, allowing smart devices and laptops to communicate with and operate systems. “Now it’s about what comes out of the building,� said Alexander, whose excited to put what he called “an incubator for creativity� to work. “We have the capability to do so many different things. It’s a tremendously exciting time for us.�

In addition to its obvious academic advantages, the new building is touted for its role in focusing the school’s various artspresenting groups into one area. The Arts & Humanities Building sits at the apex of what has been newly dubbed the Chico State “Arts District.� Laxson Auditorium and its Chico Performances and North State Symphony programming is on one side, and the Performing Arts Center building and its very active trio

of theaters showcasing drama, music and dance is on the other. And the new building’s slew of new and updated performance and exhibition spaces do make it an ideal entry point—right at the junction of the university and downtown Chico. “We now have this connection to the community,� Alexander said.

The Arts & Humanities Building boasts new homes for a couple of existing campus art galleries—the Janet Turner Print Museum and the newly redubbed “Jacki Headley�

University Art Galley—and also features a brand-new MFA Gallery, all housed in highceilinged rooms with polished-concrete floors.

But the star is the Paul and Yasuko Zingg Recital Hall, a 200-seat performance space with an acoustic makeup integrated into its sleek yet warm dĂŠcor. Floor-to-ceiling wooden diffusers are designed to either reflect or absorb sound, and behind those, curtains can be pulled out or drawn in to further deaden or brighten the room. The stage is a floating platform surrounded by more adjustable diffusers, and the entire room is wired for video and audio in conjunction with the new recording studio across the hall. “It’s not colored by reverberation,â€?

Alexander said. “What you hear is what’s happening on stage with very little interaction from the room.�

So far, there’s been a soft opening in the hall, featuring performances by an a capella group and the university’s guitar ensemble.

The first public performance will be a multiartist recital featuring faculty ringers past and present on Sept. 11, and by then the district will be jumping with live shows at Laxson and WKH 3$& DQG DOO JDOOHULHV IXOO RI QHZ DUW Ć?

n most business days, Magnolia Gift and Garden is

plants, statuary, pottery and gardening supplies as well as a small gift shop filled with seeds, story and soil amendments and garden and photo by home décor. But at one end of the Carey Wilson outdoor yard, built out in front of a cool blue mural on the side of a converted storage container, is a wooden Review: stage that hints at another side of the Jonathan Richman East Avenue nursery: concert venue.

CD-release show, And on Sunday (Aug. 7), it was Sunday, Aug. 7, Magnolia Gift & none other than punk-pioneer-turnedGarden well-traveled-troubadour Jonathan Richman putting on a show at Magnolia, debuting his newest release, the Chico-produced Ishkode! Ishkode!, alongside Chico bands Bad Mana and Skin Peaks, plus longtime drummer/collaborator Tommy Larkin and a wide-ranging cast of local musicians who worked on the recording.

When I arrived at the nursery, the members of Skin Peaks were settling into their gear on stage. (Regretfully, I missed Bad Mana’s opening set.) After a simple but emphatic drum intro from Elliot Maldonado, guitarist Lisa Marie Hiatt and bassist Kerra Jessen simultaneously laid out the ominous, slow-motion surf riff of “Midnight” guided by Hiatt’s distinctive, heavily reverbed midtone picking, which emphasizes singular notes rather than strumming to produce rhythm. The style is well-suited to singer Kelly Brown’s wickedly emotive vocals and lyrics. Balancing Brown’s moodier approach were Jessen’s sassy vocals on “Dark-Haired Mama,” a rave-up that would fit right into a Wanda Jackson album, circa 1959.

Skin Peaks delivered a solid half-hour of original rock ’n’ roll that kept the upfront portion of the audience energized throughout, and may have even raised a few eyebrows with the closing two-minute

blast of “Dik Pixxx.”

The intimate garden setting proved ideal for Richman’s set. After casually setting up his own gear and making minor adjustments to the sound system to achieve clarity for his trademark low-volume approach, Richman welcomed to the stage a rotation of local musicians—including Skin Peaks’ Hiatt and Brown, drummer Jake Sprecher and bassist Miles Montalbano, among others—who also worked on Ishkode! Ishkode!, his first release in six years, which was recorded at local engineer/musician Scott Barwick’s Origami Recording Lounge.

Starting off with a tribute to the virtues of romantic socializing on the sidewalk at downtown Chico’s iconic tavern, “Outside O’Duffy’s” gave the set a hometown feel that emphasized Boston-born Richman’s heartfelt connection to the little city he now calls home. The title song of the new album (“Ishkode” means “fire” in the Ojibwe language) followed with Hiatt and Brown supplying the chanted title as Richman sang of the poetic nature of contemplating a bonfire that “brings up feelings from way down back … bringin’ up sorrows that we can’t name.” Montalbano’s bassline was reminiscent of the Temptations’ “Papa Was a Rolling Stone” and was nicely counterpointed by Richman’s rhythm guitar and intricately melodic picking.

Other songs from the new album, such as the Italiansung “A Nnammurata Mia” (featuring young Chico accordionist Ava Moore), are beautifully crafted additions to Richman’s 40-year oeuvre. And his perfectly suited garden presentation—including a section of the concert featuring backup from the “Duffy’s Chorus” (Kelly Houston, Victor Robin, David “12-Pack” Sorensen, Rich Morarre, Dave Melendez and bar owner Roger Montalbano)—was as fresh as ever. Richman still maintains his nearly shamanistic ability to express childlike wonder and humor mixed with insightful wisdom based on his acute and empathic observations. □

One of the surprises is that, while it’s a Disney product, a “remake” of the studio’s 1977 film of the same name, Pete’s by never descends to the level Dragon Juan-Carlos of mere “Disney-fied” entertainment.

Selznick It’s rated PG, but its blend of drama, comedy and fantasy is fresh, expansive and forthright throughout.

The Pete of the story is a small boy (played by Oakes Fegley) who is orphaned while traveling on “an Pete’s Dragon adventure” with his parents in mounstarring Oakes Fegley, tain wilderness. We quickly learn that Robert Redford and he survives for several years without Bryce Dallas Howard.

Eventually, both the 7. Rated Pg. boy and the dragon become objects of sympathetic and problematical attention from a forest ranger named Grace (Bryce Dallas Howard) and her wilderness-loving family.

The devotion of the ranger and her father (Robert Redford) to the natural world signals some of the film’s main themes. But the Redford character is both an outdoorsman and a spinner of yarns and tall tales, and storytelling and the power of myth and imagination are also central to the film’s dramatic concerns.

The dragon, of course, is crucial to all that. The

or me, Pete’s Dragon is one of the high points of this

Sept 16

Aug 20

Wild mystery film envisions him both as a physical being and as a mysterious and evanescent presence hovering in the half-light of the deep woods. Pete calls him “Elliot,” which just happens to be the name of the little lost boy in the storybook that Pete carries as a kind of memento of his pre-wilderness, pre-dragon life.

The dragon, a fine CGI creation, comes across as one of the film’s most distinctive characters. He’s a magical and mostly benevolent monster, and he’s also a kind of giant sidekick for Pete. He looks like a dragon, a great green beast with wings, who at times moves with a panther-like grace. But just as often, if not more, he’s prone to the pratfalls of a goofy, oversized cartoon dog.

Writer-director David Lowery (Ain’t Them Bodies Saints) gets touching, shrewdly understated performances out of all of his performers, live and otherwise.

Some of the best moments in Pete’s Dragon arise from exquisitely nuanced close-ups of the key players reacting wordlessly to something they’ve just heard from one of the other characters.

When Grace asks Pete where he last saw his mother, he answers, “On an adventure,” and the expression on her face seems to reflect everything, the beauty and terror, that Pete’s answer embodies in the film as a whole.

Similarly, the Redford character’s modest smile when confronted with skepticism about the mystical aspects of his stories. It’s a patient smile, kindly and welcoming in ways that neither condescend nor pass judgment, still open to the possibility that all involved may learn more in days to come. It’s a long way from the Sundance Kid, but it’s very close to the heart of this film. □

Eat That Question

Norwegian filmmaker Thorsten Schütte has pieced together a very engaging composite portrait of the late Frank Zappa, rock-music experimentalist and leader of the legendary Mothers of Invention. Drawing exclusively on archival footage from both sides of the Atlantic, Schütte composes a kind of post-mortem self-portrait of Zappa in which the furry freak himself does nearly all the talking. No new interviews or critical commentaries are added, and Eat That Question makes no pretense of being a comprehensive biography. Instead, we get a lively celebration of a particular kind of American genius, an exceptionally playful rebel from the 1960s whose Dada-style antics partly disguised a fierce intellect. The bits of performance footage are a delight, and the clip of a very young Zappa using a bicycle as a musical instrument on The Steve Allen Show is worth the price of admission all by itself.

Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, the writer/ director duo behind The Hangover, turn the comedy reins over to the women (Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, Kathryn Hahn, Jada Pinkett Smith and Christina Applegate) in this story about a group of “overworked and underappreciated” moms who ditch their responsibilities for a prolonged jag of wild living. Cinemark 14 and Feather River Cinemas. Rated R.

Tommy Lee Jones, I’m almost sorry to say, looks epically weary and worn out in Jason Bourne. In part, it’s built into his role here—he’s the CIA director who’s become Bourne’s chief nemesis and mortal enemy, and he’s terminally pissed off that the agency’s rebellious, custom-made, state-of-theart assassin has gone rogue and keeps resurfacing. He seems tired of it all right from the start, and he’s not the only one. When he finally does have a face-to-face showdown with Matt Damon’s Bourne, writer-director Paul Greengrass has them both looking like gargoyles of the sort you might expect to find at the gates of some action-movie hell.

It’s almost as if this resurrected franchise, with its endlessly renewable superhero, has an increasingly noticeable death wish but just can’t stop itself from charging onward.

Not yet, anyway. Cinemark 14, Feather River Cinemas and Paradise Cinema 7. Rated PG-13 —J.C.S.

Make-ahead recipes

The worlds best sandwiches are now in chico!

“It’s all about the Dirty Sauce”

Four new cookbooks to free up the party host back-to-school lunches and maybe even get a M jump start on holiday party-planning with four of the ake the most of summer’s final bashes, prep for

best new cookbooks, featuring make-ahead recipes that will heat up the party—not the kitchen.

Project Smoke, Steven Raichlen Cooking for a summer party can add heat to an already sweltering house, so take the cooking outside with a smoker. Featuring close to 100 recipes, this how-to guide from the PBS host by and James Beard award–winner is a Matthew comprehensive look at selecting and Craggs using a smoker and understanding the smoking process.

Though Raichlen includes his take on fan favorites, such as Slam-Dunk Brisket and pulled pork shoulder, the book’s real wealth is in the dissection of smoking tools and terminology as well as more unique smoking applications and recipes—eggs, cheese, vegetables, and desserts such as smoked chocolate bread pudding. However, nothing tops the ingenious recipe for smoked ice cubes. Your backyard Bloody Mary and front porch Manhattan will never be the same.

No-Bake Treats, Julianne Bayer Keep guests cool with a chill treat from Bayer’s first book, subtitled “Incredible Unbaked Cheesecakes, Icebox Cakes, Pies and More.” The author and blogger (BeyondFrosting.com) primarily relies on fillings rooted in a combination of cream cheese, heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar, but the results are sweetly simplistic in prep and taste. Strawberries-andcream parfaits make the perfect weeknight treat, while the Candy Lover’s Ice Cream Pie is a crowd-pleaser with customizable crushed candy options (though the malt powder in the ice cream doesn’t come through as strongly as one would hope).

Bayer runs the goody gamut, from sophisticated (Champagne cranberry cheesecake) to silly (Funfetti S’more Mousse Bombs) with straightforward instructions and sinfully shot photography that’ll leave a partygoer’s sweet tooth aching over enticing options.

Rice Craft, Sonoko Sakai As back-to-school lunches return and culinary interests shift to healthy and tasty meals with minimal prep, consider onigiri—rice balls with various fillings wrapped in seaweed. This second book by the co-founder of the Japanese food/culture project Common Grains offers a great start for beginners. The included tips, tricks and terminology are especially helpful for cooking and shaping rice. Sakai’s recipes range from traditional— carrots, shiitakes, pickled radishes—to modern—tuna melt onigiri, bacon and scrambled egg onigiri.

Unfortunately, many recipes include redundant rice cooking and shaping directions; space that could have held more photos, additional recipes, or perhaps a look at onigiri art. However, other parts are invaluable, such as the suggested use of haiga rice—a “semi-milled” brown rice that maintains much of the vitamins and nutrients while cooking like white rice.

With a slightly nutty, not-too-chewy texture, haiga rice is a real grain game-changer.

Modern Potluck: Beautiful Food to Share, Kristin Donnelly Finally, prepare for upcoming holiday potlucks with the former editor of Food & Wine. In over 100 recipes, Donnelly reveals what it means to be a potluck in modern times—catering to myriad dietary restrictions without compromising the homemade, farm-to-fork style. This culinary tightrope may sound like a nightmare to many cooks, but Donnelly’s recipes make navigation a dream.

Almost every recipe is either vegetarian (Caramelized Kimchi Corn Bread), vegan (Anna’s Summer Vegetable Tian), gluten-free (polenta stuffed with sausage and broccoli rabe), or a combination—such as the Smoky Squash Mac & Cheese that balances smoked gouda with sweet butternut squash.

A section on room-temperature main dishes is a relief for anyone who’s ever queued in line for the host’s oven or office microwave. Modern Potluck may not become a weeknight kitchen staple but when someone begins to say, “I can’t eat …” you’ll be prepared to feed them like royalty. □

As John Cobbett moves further away from his days in the defunct Bay Area black-metal band Ludicra, the Hammers of Misfortune/ VHÖL guitarist seems to be circling back to the classic thrash he was reared on. Last year on VHÖL’s Deeper Than Sky, Cobbett went full thrash-metal with strokes of psychedelic and punk; on Hammers of Misfortune’s latest, Dead Revolution, he continues his love for prog, but the riffs are more fist-pumping than ever. This is the kind of metal that makes you want to tell your shithead boss to “Fuck off!” with a wide smile on your face. “Flying Alone” is high-octane headbanging fuel, and “Sea of Heroes” slows things down with an earworm of a riff. There are still odd twists and turns, and organ buzzing underneath (sounds like they were listening to Rising by Rainbow), but Dead Revolution is just what the title implies—with a fist in the air.

Hammers of Misfortune

Sometimes you want that instant musical satisfaction. It’s not always that easy; a lot of the best records take a serious sit down and devotion to break through. But, there are two tried-and-true genres that can abide to the quick need: pop and good ol’ country. With that in mind, Seattle’s Country Lips have the perfect new album for easy listening. The eight-piece is composed of Pacific Northwest indie rockers who came together to make straightforward old-school country. This isn’t to be confused with pop-country; think the golden era, à la George Jones. Till the Daylight Comes is full of the standard foot-stomping instrumentation—howling fiddle hooks, lickety-split guitar lines, crowdrevving accordion—all sitting on an easy backbeat.

Three voices switch off between harmonies singing about the plight of a quintessential country rebel; aka the whisky lover.

Even in the midst of all that lyrical catharsis, it’s that kicking kind of music you wanna slosh around to with big groups. There’s even something reminiscent of the Grateful Dead, but mostly, it’s just pure country.

MUSIC

—Robin Bacior

Widowmaker Teeph teeph.bandcamp.com For those unaware of wacky, noisy Chico sludge trio Teeph, the band’s latest (and final) release, a four-song suite called Widowmaker, is a total monster that is more than worthy of your attention. The record is billed as being more “under control” than Teeph’s previous releases, and its strengths lie in the band’s nimble balance between calm and chaos. However, make no mistake, Widowmaker earns its menacing title. Guitarist Sesar Sanchez and bassist Matt Shilts wield their instruments like weapons of war on the scorching opener “1,000 Deaths,” with the latter sporting a bass tone that might actually cause shortness of breath if played at the proper volume. The heaviness undulates in severity throughout the record, with the third track, “Forgive,” offering a lengthy respite in the form of disquieting soundscapes courtesy of drummer (and engineer) Alex Coffin. Widowmaker is unlikely to appeal to the unadventurous ear. But for those looking for something interesting and challenging to dig into, the music that the recently disbanded trio left behind deserves a listen.

You likely will hear a lot of noise from those who’ve come before you—the upperclassmen who’ve been around for a few years, the locals who’ve been molding on the vine for decades—about how Chico isn’t as great as it used to be. Don’t bite. Of course, like every other place on the planet, Chico has gone through changes. Old haunts have faded away, new venues have arrived, and the city’s populaPssst ... Buck up, Willie. Chico is just fine. tion has swelled, and more people means more problems we have to deal with.

But the foundation of what makes Chico Chico—the core of its split Mayberry/Partytown personality—remains unchanged, and I can prove it with a short quiz: • Is Bidwell Park still here? Yes. • Is sierra nevada Brewing Co. still in town? Yes! • We know that we still have Chico state. Naturally.

• Are the Mother Hips still rocking? Actually, yes.

• Does summer heat still linger for five months? Hell yes!

• Can I still get stupid (like, really dangerously, brain-damaged stupid) drunk on $1 beer and 50-cent cocktail specials? Sigh, yes.

• Are the dirt-twirlers still kicking up dust to the jam that’s been going since the 1960s? God dammit, yes!

You see, things don’t really change here. You can float along in the same North Valley-bubble-fantasy-world-of-leisure that your local forebears did—chillin’ with your crew, raging with your bros and blissfully twirling along with your fellow freaks. It’s still pretty perfect, herpes and all.

Here are 10 more pieces of advice to help nudge you into the Chico groove: 1. Taco is a food group: Tacos are Chico’s signature dish. And eating them from one of the taco trucks within a few blocks of wherever you are right now is cheaper than cooking for yourself—between $1 and $2 each (never pay more).

2. Thursday is for nightswimming: During the warm months Sycamore Pool, the swimming pool that is a dammed up portion of Big Chico Creek in lower Bidwell Park, is very popular with Chico’s kids and their tiny bladders. Thursdays its emptied and cleaned and by nightfall it’s fresh and refilled and ready for a (sober) dip under the stars.

3. Buy a beater bike: Your No. 1 Chico tool is an everyday cruiser that’ll get you from class, to downtown, to the farmers’ market and to the backyard barbecue, something you can throw on the pile of bikes on the lawn and won’t be too pissed about if/when it’s ripped off.

4. $3 burritos: This is a real thing in Chico, and they are beautiful, and they are waiting for you at Tacos El Tapatio (East First and Longfellow avenues).

5. stay off the railroad tracks: Please, don’t die.

6. Wear a condom: Like all the time, even when you’re just walking around.

7. one-stop shop for Chico cred points: The Butcher Shop, the annual avantgarde theater festival, brings the bulk of Chico’s creative community together on the outskirts of town for a Labor Day Weekend of original one-act plays, live music, food and more. And it’s free. Sept. 3 & 4, 6 p.m., 2500 Estes Road.

8. don’t be a dick.

9. Try something new.

10. Buy me a beer: Something good. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale’s are only $1 on

Wednesdays at the U-Bar.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY For the week oF august 18, 2016 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Can you

imagine feeling at home in the world no matter where you are? If you eventually master this art, outer circumstances won’t distort your relationship with yourself. No matter how crazy or chaotic the people around you might be, you will remain rooted in your unshakable sense of purpose; you will respond to any given situation in ways that make you both calm and alert, amused and curious, compassionate for the suffering of others and determined to do what’s best for you. If you think these are goals worth seeking, you can make dramatic progress toward them in the coming weeks.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): As I

tried to meditate on your horoscope, my next-door neighbor was wielding a weedwhacker to trim her lawn, and the voices in my head were shouting extra loud. So I decided to drive down to the marsh to get some high-quality silence. When I arrived at the trailhead, I found an older man in ragged clothes leaning against the fence.

Nearby was a grocery cart full of what I assumed were all his earthly belongings.

“Doing nothing is a very difficult art,” he croaked as I slipped by him, “because you’re never really sure when you are done.” I immediately recognized that his wisdom might be useful to you. You are, after all, in the last few days of your recharging process. It’s still a good idea for you to lie low and be extra calm and vegetate luxuriously. But when should you rise up and leap into action again? Here’s my guess: Get one more dose of intense stillness and silence.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): My readers

have a range of approaches for working with the counsel I offer. Some study the horoscopes for both their sun signs and rising signs, then create do-it-yourself blends of the two. Others prefer to wait until the week is over before consulting what I’ve written. They don’t want my oracles to influence their future behavior, but enjoy evaluating their recent past in light of my analysis. Then there are the folks who read all 12 of my horoscopes. They refuse to be hemmed in by just one forecast, and want to be free to explore multiple options.

I encourage you to try experiments like these in the coming days. The moment is ripe to cultivate more of your own unique strategies for using and interpreting the information you absorb—both from me and from everyone else you listen to.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Have you

been drinking a lot of liquids? Are you spending extra time soaking in hot baths and swimming in bodies of water that rejuvenate you? Have you been opening your soul to raw truths that dissolve your fixations and to beauty that makes you cry and to love that moves you to sing? I hope you’re reverently attending to these fluidic needs. I hope you’re giving your deepest yearnings free play and your freshest emotions lots of room to unfold. Smart, well-lubricated intimacy is a luxurious necessity, my dear. Stay very, very wet.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In my opinion, you

need to bask in the glorious fury of at least one brainstorm—preferably multiple brainstorms over the course of the next two weeks. What can you do to ensure that happens? How might you generate a flood of new ideas about how to live your life and understand the nature of reality? Here are some suggestions: Read books about creativity. Hang around with original thinkers and sly provocateurs. Insert yourself into situations that will strip you of your boring certainties. And take this vow: “I hereby unleash the primal power of my liberated imagination.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When you

were a child, did you play with imaginary friends? During your adolescence, did you nurture a fantasy relationship with a pretend boyfriend or girlfriend? Since you reached adulthood, have you ever enjoyed consorting with muses or guardian angels or ancestral spirits? If you answered yes to any of those questions, you are in a good

by rob brezsny position to take full advantage of the subtle opportunities and cryptic invitations that are coming your way. Unexpected sources are poised to provide unlikely inspirations in unprecedented ways.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): When you

were born, you already carried the seeds of gifts you would someday be able to provide—specific influences or teachings or blessings that only you, of all the people who have ever lived, could offer the world.

How are you doing in your quest to fulfill this potential? Here’s what I suspect: Your seeds have been ripening slowly and surely. But in the coming months, they could ripen at a more rapid pace. Whether they actually do or not may depend on your willingness to take on more responsibilities—interesting responsibilities, to be sure—but bigger than you’re used to.

The advertiser and not the newspaper assumes full responsibility for the truthful content of their advertising message.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I suspect

that you will soon be culminating a labor of love you’ve been nurturing and refining for many moons. How should you celebrate?

Maybe with some champagne and caviar?

If you’d like to include bubbly in your revels, a good choice might be 2004 Belle Epoque Rose. Its floral aroma and crispy mouth-feel rouse a sense of jubilation as they synergize the flavors of blood orange, pomegranate and strawberry. As for caviar: Consider the smooth, aromatic, and elegant roe of the albino beluga sturgeon from the unpolluted areas of the Caspian Sea near Iran. But before I finish this oracle, let me also add that a better way to honor your accomplishment might be to take the money you’d spend on champagne and caviar, and instead use it as seed money for your next big project.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Some species of weeds become even more robust and entrenched as they develop resistances to the pesticides that are designed to eradicate them. This is one example of how fighting a problem can make the problem worse—especially if you attack too furiously or use the wrong weapons. I invite you to consider the possibility that this might be a useful metaphor for you to contemplate in the coming weeks. Your desire to solve a knotty dilemma or shed a bad influence is admirable. Just make sure you choose a strategy that actually works.

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

assignment, if you choose to accept it, is to compose an essay on at least one of the following themes: (1) “How I Fed and Fed My Demons Until They Gorged Themselves to Death.” (2) “How I Exploited My Nightmares in Ways That Made Me Smarter and Cuter.” (3) “How I Quietly and Heroically Transformed a Sticky Problem into a Sleek Opportunity.” (4) “How I Helped Myself by Helping Other People.” For extra credit, Capricorn—and to earn the right to trade an unholy duty for a holy one—write about all four subjects.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I sus-

pect that in the coming months you will be drawn to wandering through the frontiers and exploring the unknown. Experimentation will come naturally. Places and situations you have previously considered to be off-limits may be downright comfortable.

In fact, it’s possible that you will have to escape your safety zones in order to fully be yourself. Got all that? Now here’s the kicker. In the coming weeks, everything I just described will be especially apropos for your closest relationships. Are you interested in redefining and reconfiguring the ways that togetherness works for you?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you’re

playing the card game known as bridge, you’re lucky if you are dealt a hand that has no cards of a particular suit. This enables you, right from the beginning, to capture tricks using the trump suit. In other words, the lack of a certain resource gives you a distinct advantage. Let’s apply this metaphor to your immediate future, Pisces. I’m guessing that you will benefit from what may seem to be an inadequacy or deficit. An absence will be a useful asset.

decendent’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.

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

Numerology

“I am in tune with the way numbers affect our lives,” said Angie Harris, “and I will know if you are also in tune, or not.” She had seemed impatient with me since I had I arrived five minutes late for our appointment.

We sat at the kitchen table and I sifted through the numbers in my market analysis like an accountant preparing for an IRS audit.

“In conclusion,” I said, “I intend to employ a marketing strategy for your property in which the initial asking price is $459,000.”

“Listen,” she said, “you need to know I am trained in the Science of Numerology. Based on your birthdate and name, your Life Path Number is a Three. I am a Four. Your presentation is typical of a Three. You are a communicator, and you are loyal. As a Four, I am a

demanding manager, and my challenge will be maintaining patience with you.” She paused and narrowed her eyes.

“The price will be $477,777,” she said. “The sevens in the price will excite the buyers. In seven days we will adjust the price to $456,789. The sequential numbers will point our buyer here. I will sell the property at $444,444, for obvious reasons. Write it up.”

21 days later, we sold Angie’s property for $444,444.

We closed in 44 days. Angie remained demanding and impatient throughout process, though it was quite short and smooth for a real estate transaction.

2562 E. 20th St • ChiCo

Impressed, I subsequently looked into the Science of Numerology. I have never calculated my wife’s Life Path Number, but I’m guessing it’s not a Four.

“Dustin, we really appreciate what you and our lender Jim Heberle did for us. We’re getting all settled in and LOVE our new home!”

– James and Edi. This 2 bedroom, 2 bath, 893 sq. ft. home sold to Dustin’s buyers in just 7 days on market and had multiple offers.

Dustin has the privilege of helping people reach their dreams: first-time home buyers, experienced investors, families needing to up-size or downsize. Make him your first call.
