correctness. Our society accepts that calling fellow American citizens despicable names and the stereotypical misrepresentation of them is socially irresponsible, not politically incorrect. That’s because historically powerful social movements have objected to the ugly words and false imagery and forced change. The indigenous people’s Not Your Mascots movement is attempting to do the same, as is true of the feminist movement’s effort against demeaning women as “chicks” and barnyard “cackling hens.” Both are asking us, “Why do you have such a huge stake in devaluing/demeaning your fellow citizens?” I do agree political correctness is running amok. Applying the word “contractors” to U.S. privatized “mercenaries” reeks of political correctness as does insisting obvious acts of torture are no more than “enhanced interrogation techniques.” Currently, the most “politically incorrect” thing one can do is posit the U.S. and its allies as terrorist states, or argue (with much proof) in its “War on Terror” the U.S. is conducting a “War of Terror.” Just ask the civilian victims of U.S. “Shock and Awe” (PC for terror) bombing. The obvious difference is, these examples of politically correct/incorrectness are enforced by and serve the interests of the powerful. □

microcosm of what’s happening at the national level. To be blunt, things are a mess. That’s clearer than ever following a chaotic opening of the so-called North State Republican Victory HQ last Saturday. In an amateur move during the event, GOP representatives kicked out the media, including Evan Tuchinsky, a longtime CN&R contributor and former editor, who was there to cover the publicly advertized grand opening ceremony. It was a bizarre decision during a bizarre election year in which the Trump campaign has repeatedly booted or barred members of the media from his events. But look where that’s gotten The Donald. Our advice: Locals shouldn’t mirror the real estate magnate’s fascist campaign tactics. It will backfire. Case in point: Two highly respected members of the local Republican Party—Paula McLay and Stephanie Taber—stood up for Tuchinsky during the commotion. In fact, one departed in protest of his being booted. Another, Butte County Supervisor Larry Wahl, who attended the festivities but had nothing to do with the incident, called Tuchinsky later to apologize on behalf of his party. We appreciate their gestures. The CN&R, by far Butte County’s largest-circulated newspaper, has a long history of covering the happenings of both major parties’ headquarters—primarily on election night—so being kicked out of the grand opening was unprecedented. It was also a politically unsavvy move for a number of reasons. First off, it makes it appear that local Republicans have something to hide. Second, it’s a missed opportunity for the candidates to get their messages out to the public. Third, a newspaper reporter who gets tossed from a political event is going to write about the experience. You’d think all of this would be obvious. Then, there’s simple common courtesy. Tuchinsky was there to cover, not disrupt, the proceedings. Way to make a guy’s job more difficult. To his credit, in the face of the inhospitality, Tuchinsky still did a bang-up job of covering the event, including the protests outside (see his report on page 10). □

City shouldn’t play favorites Last month, the conservatives on the Chico City Council put to rest the idea

that certain groups should be able to use the council chambers free of charge. It was a controversial move because several prominent groups, including the Butte County League of Women Voters and the Chico Unified School District board of education, have held functions in the council chambers pro bono for many years. Back in February, the panel made the decision to start charging groups a fee: $137 per hour for the chambers and $150 per hour for the auditorium in the Old Municipal Building, plus ancillary fees. The leftie council members wanted to allow the city manager the discretion to make exceptions for certain groups. But that didn’t fly with the rightwingers. The takeaway from the new policy is that no groups should receive preferential treatment when it comes to using taxpayer-funded facilities. That’s why CN&R was stunned to hear that Congressman Doug LaMalfa was holding an event in a city-owned building, Fire Station 5, free of charge. Moreover, he had not only the blessing of the city’s upper management, but also the aid of city fire personnel, who set up for the so-called “community coffee” (see more on page 5). It’s clear to this newspaper that LaMalfa’s visit was contrary to the spirit of the new policy, and, in general, not an appropriate use of city resources. It smacks of hypocrisy and unfairness. The city should not play favorites. □

LETTERS

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

Hoodwinked My invitation to Congressman Doug LaMalfa’s recent “community coffee” at Chico’s Fire Station 5 must have gotten lost in the mail. I mean, his staffers know how to get hold of me. Like two years ago, when LaMalfa’s legislative director called me up and charged that it was incorrect to say the Richvale native had increased subsidies for wealthy farmers while simultaneously voting to cut federal food stamps. Evidently, his camp didn’t think crop insurance—“the largest subsidy for agribusiness,” according to the nonpartisan Taxpayers for Common Sense—qualifies as a subsidy. LaMalfa was running for a second term at the time. His challenger was whip-smart Democrat Heidi Hall, who got trounced in the election despite owning LaMalfa during their showdown in Chico at a Butte County League of Women Voters forum. But enough about the past. It’s election season again and LaMalfa is looking to beat opponent Jim Reed, another Democrat, this November. And thanks to the city of Chico, LaMalfa is getting a leg up. On Tuesday morning, city management rolled out the proverbial red carpet for our local congressman at the fire station near the base of Upper Bidwell Park. I asked City Manager Mark Orme about the event, and here’s what I learned: Fire Chief Bill Hack was contacted by LaMalfa’s district representative. According to the chief, she’d inquired about holding a “community event” at the station. Hack thought it would be an opportunity to show off the fire department and to highlight its “challenges/opportunities,” as he put it in an email. He mentioned the department’s SAFER grant, federal largesse he hopes will be extended to fund the 15 firefighters it’s paying for. His department set up for the event. He’d been assured that it would not be political in nature. LaMalfa’s camp paid nothing to use the facility. Zilch. Hack and Orme got hoodwinked. Of course the event was political! CN&R Managing Editor Meredith Cooper showed up after hearing about it last-minute. Some of the topics included aid to veterans, his legislative bill regarding the proposed Sites Reservoir, Planned Parenthood—“I don’t think Planned Parenthood reflects the values of America by making body parts available [on the black market],” he said. Yes, our congressman is still spreading that debunked propaganda. Orme didn’t throw Hack under the bus. I asked if department heads have carte blanche over the use of city facilities. The answer is no; Orme gave the final approval. “The buck stops with me,” he wrote in an email. Hardly anyone was at LaMalfa’s event, so what was the purpose? It’s simple: He’s out glad-handing specific constituencies. In the case of the fire station, LaMalfa targeted local firefighters. That’s not an insignificant voting bloc. It’s not surprising that LaMalfa would go for the low-hanging fruit. What’s disconcerting is that he had a helping hand from the city of Chico. Thing is, city leaders should know better. They fell for a classic LaMalfa move. Let’s be honest, the guy is known for deception. Just ask Joe Montes, the Chico Republican whose reputation he torched last spring in a series of mailed hit pieces. Despite what was implied in LaMalfa’s political mailers, Montes’ only crime was daring to challenge the ruthless incumbent. Note to city staff: Any time a politician asks for something during campaign season, it’s for political purposes.

Anniversary Event

‘City slicker campus’ Re “Changing spaces” (Cover story, by CN&R staff, Aug. 18): The Chico State campus has become a walled-in fortress with the completion of the new Arts & Humanities Building, much like the Sorbonne in Paris. I assume this is to protect the students from the big city crime issues that Chico now endures. The new art center looks like a hodgepodge hospital design that somebody picked out of a catalog. The glassed side is seemingly derived from Mies van der Rohe’s 1958 Seagram Building—and, considering Chico State’s reputation for drinking, is an architectural bon mot if ever there was one. The side facing the bus stop looks like a county jail and is despairingly ugly for an arts building. I suggest a mural or mosaic to remedy this. From our quaint Tobacco Road country college, Chico State has transformed into a big-time city slicker campus. This is not necessarily good—Chico State has more part-time professors than full-time, it drowns the students in cultural Marxism (yes, dad, you’re sending your daughter to college to become a communist), the acceptance rate is as high as 72 percent (Harvard is only 4 percent) and every time I take a book off the shelf in the university library, I have to blow a quarter-inch of dust off it. There are still many internal problems that have to be remedied. Students and faculty make a university, not the buildings.

‘Try a little reality’ Re “Rebuttal time” (Letters, by Patrick Newman, Aug. 11): Patrick Newman sarcastically suggests that women “wanted” what they’ve gotten. In the 17th-20th centuries in America, apparently women wanted to be treated like chattel, without the right to vote or even a say in their own lives. Women also wanted their children killed in wars created by men in the endless quest for power and empire. Women wanted to be paid less, be given fewer opportunities and be routinely discriminated against. One in six women wanted to be LETTERS c o n t i n u e d

raped. Around the world, women wanted to be forced into marrying men decades older than they and to be exiled, beaten or stoned to death if they didn’t behave the way their religion/culture expected them to, even when victims of rape. For hundreds of years, men have controlled most areas of business and government. Last year, women held only 17 percent of the Fortune 500 executive positions and only 19.4 percent of seats in Congress. For centuries, women have had little or no influence over any important decisions being made. Men have created most of the products available for human consumption, including ones that are creating “environmental Armageddon.” Perhaps instead of bold displays of ignorance, arrogance and sarcasm, Mr. Newman should try a little reality and research.

Fred and Maryann Trump: This conference week, it’s imperative to communicate that Donnie J. is way below grade level in English and history with a troubling inability to understand current events. His failure to recall numbers is worrisome. He insists rudely that he’s the only student smart enough to qualify for class president. He constantly demands a “break,” but has not worked one second to improve education or anything else outside his own immature self-interest. He bullies our girls and physically challenged toddlers unless they help shovel dirt for his castles. He refuses to let “losers” in the sandbox until they pledge allegiance to him—not the American flag—because only Trumpy can make school safe for all white children. Nobody can believe or understand his repetitive false claims against our great president and all others accused of treating him unfairly. Donnie’s anger concerns everyone, and he insists his science project is construction of a wall— using our Mexican kids’ Legos. Hopefully, with his newfound affinity for non-Caucasians, we’ve found something positive to conclude our meeting. Normal children are taught respect and compassion. These characteristics

are devoid in Donnie. Intensive consultation and tutoring are urgently recommended. What the heck do you have to lose? Kenneth B. Keith Los Molinos

Pot’s not dangerous The California State Sheriffs’ Association claims marijuana seriously impairs driving and has other adverse consequences. Yet researchers find that while obviously inadvisable, marijuana only modestly affects driving (Journal of Drug And Alcohol Dependence, June 23, 2016). Marijuana users know their performance is impaired and compensate by slowing down and being especially attentive. By contrast, inebriated drivers are seriously impaired. They merely think they are in control; in fact, they speed, weave across lanes, have lethally slower reaction times, and cause thousands of accidents (National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, 2015). Moreover, illegality accounts for marijuana’s negative societal consequences, not its use per se. Incarceration soils reputations, deprives children of custodial parents, financially and mentally stresses families and society, blackballs one from employment, and puts one at risk for assault. Violence results from gangsters killing other gangsters and passersby, not from discretionary users committing crimes of violence or going berserk. In fact, while alcohol precipitates, cannabis reduces aggression and is associated with less—not more—domestic violence (Psychoparmacology, July 15, 2016; Psychology of Addictive Behavior, September 2014). The California State Sheriffs’ Association’s false claims mislead the public and diminish law enforcement’s credibility. William R. Todd-Mancillas Chico

Four seats are up for grabs on the Chico City Council. Three of the challengers are (left to right) Mercedes Macias, Jon Scott and Jeffrey Glatz.

Fire stAtion meet-And-greet

California 1st District Rep. Doug LaMalfa invited constituents to join him for coffee Tuesday (Aug. 23) at Chico’s Fire Station 5. The get-together was billed as a nonpolitical meet-and-greet with the Republican Congressman, who took the podium to discuss issues he’s tackling, from forest management to the proposed Sites Reservoir. During his speech, LaMalfa, who is up for re-election this year, pointed to several pieces of legislation currently in the Senate and urged the couple dozen people in attendance to call their senators and ask for “ayes.” The most significant was House Resolution 2898, which he said would change priorities for storing and transferring water. He said the state’s reservoirs should be full; water should not be released based on “poor science” for environmental protections. This bill also would set the stage for the Sites Reservoir. If it fails in the Senate, LaMalfa said, he’ll push his own HR 1060, which would do the same. LaMalfa also dissed the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs—“one of the most frustrating organizations to work with”—and offered to help veterans “on an individual basis.” To the father of a young combat vet who’s witnessed the bureaucracy at the Chico Vet Center, LaMalfa said he has a “team of whistleblowers” inside California veterans organizations and is poised to take action. A young woman asked LaMalfa about his support for HR 3762, which attempted to end federal funding for Planned Parenthood. “I don’t think Planned Parenthood reflects the values of America by making body parts available [on the black market],” he said. When the questioner said that that wasn’t true, LaMalfa simply said that the organization does “nefarious things,” drawing cheers from the audience.

For Chicoans accustomed to waking up to the perky personality of longtime local TV news anchor Megan McMann, Friday (Aug. 25) will be a day for goodbyes. McMann announced earlier this week via Facebook that she’s leaving Action News Now, adding that, after 10 years with the network, she’ll soon assume the role of community relations coordinator for the Butte County Sheriff’s Office. “I will never forget my first ‘grown up’ job and I will always cherish my time here, even if it included waking up at 3 a.m.,” she wrote. A Chico State graduate, McMann (pictured) joined KHSL/ KNVN as an intern during her last semester in spring 2005, according to the station’s website. She worked through the ranks and eventually became the face of the local morning broadcast, Wake Up. 8

getting familiar A look at the lesser-known City Council candidates some residents in the race for the Chico ICity Council face more of an uphill battle.

f it takes name recognition to get elected,

In a crowded field of 11 candidates, three names—Jeffrey Glatz, Mercedes Macias story and photos by and Jon Scott—likely Howard Hardee are unknown to most h owa rd h @ Chicoans. n ew srev i ew. c o m Scott, for one, isn’t particularly optimistic about his chances. “I probably won’t [get elected],” he said, “but, you know, stranger things have happened.” Four current council members—Sean Morgan, Tami Ritter, Ann Schwab and Randall Stone—are running for re-election. Savvy voters are at least passingly familiar with a handful of other candidates: Lisa Duarte ran for election in 2012; Loretta Torres is a watchdog at local government meetings; Karl Ory is the former mayor of Chico and a passionate political activist; and Jovanni Tricerri is an outspoken advocate for fully staffing the Chico Police Department. Ahead of the election on Nov. 8., the contenders will square off during a candidates forum hosted by the League of Women Voters on Oct. 20 at Marsh Junior High School. That means there’s time to get familiar with the newbies. During separate inter-

views, Glatz, Macias and Scott all said they’re jumping into the race without campaign experience, driven by strong feelings about the direction of the community. Jeffrey Glatz Chico isn’t what it used to be in the eyes of Glatz. About 15 years ago, he moved here from Los Angeles and was sold on the small-town vibe. From living on Woodland Avenue, on the south side of One-Mile Recreation Area in Bidwell Park, he says that impression has eroded; both he and his wife, Joni, have recently been shaken by hostile encounters with shady characters in the park. “Not everybody will agree, but to me, it’s gotten pretty sketchy,” he said. That might sound like he’s running for council out of concern for his own backyard, but Glatz insists it’s more than that. He says local government’s first purpose is to protect Chico’s “four main assets— the people, the university, downtown and Bidwell Park.” If elected, he would explore adding more police and park rangers. It would have to fit in the budget, however. Glatz is politically moderate, a fiscal conservative who leans liberal in certain ways, such as providing adequate services for homeless people and supporting the arts. Glatz, 53, graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 1988 with dual bachelor’s degrees in finance and

international business. In Los Angeles, he produced TV commercials and also worked as a consultant for PepsiCo and ExxonMobil. Currently, he and Joni own Old River Road, a business that sells home decorations made from repurposed and recycled materials. Until now, Glatz has never taken an active role in politics. “I’ve always talked the talk but never actually done anything about it,” he said. “I thought it was time to get more involved.” Mercedes Macias As it’s currently composed, the City Council does not represent young, childless and unmarried people, says Macias. “Seeing things with new eyes is really important for our city,” she said. “I have the time, passion and compassion to serve.” Macias, 26, describes herself as a secular atheist and “recovering Catholic.” She was raised in a Mexican-American family and went to church every week. “I was very indoctrinated and preconditioned emotionally to a lot of things I didn’t believe intellectually,” she said. “It took me a couple years to decide what I was going to believe for myself.” At 16, she transferred from Mercy High School in Red Bluff to HomeTech Charter School in Paradise, and has since become

an outspoken atheist. She has an upcoming engagement to speak about her experience as part of California Freethought Day in Sacramento. Macias is a barista at Has Beans Coffee & Tea Co. on Main Street and is working on bachelor’s degrees in philosophy and cultural anthropology at Chico State. She volunteers for The Stream Team—a citizen-led group that monitors water quality in Big Chico Creek—and serves on the board of the Theatre on the Ridge in Paradise. Running on a progressive platform, she hopes people will listen to her ideas despite not raising campaign funds. “Other candidates are out there saying, ‘I want your money,’” she said. “I’m out there saying, ‘I want your vote.’” Jon Scott In his campaign statement, Scott, 57, describes himself as the “No BS candidate,” which provides a glimpse of his personality. In person, his voice is booming and his attitude brash. He admits that, if he were elected, the City Council meetings would be colored by far more four-letter words: “Sometimes, I would just have to stand up and say, ‘That’s bullshit!’” For instance, he says elected officials and the Downtown Chico Business Association paint too rosy a picture. “It isn’t Mayberry,” he said of downtown, citing widespread homelessness and empty storefronts. His view is that, in a party-oriented college town like Chico, the businesses that thrive usually are restaurants or bars. “We’re not going to fill downtown with cute little dress stores and 35 different ice cream parlors,” he said. Scott’s main gig is running an Internet promotion company called Information Agent Inc., and he also owns a few dozen single-family rental homes in Chico. As a businessman, his experiences with the Chico City Council have left him “disgusted,” he said, including his unsuccessful attempt nearly two years ago to build a card room on the blighted corner of Third and Main streets. He plans to describe how he’d do things differently—like letting people “vote with their dollars” on the types of businesses they want downtown—in a series of newspaper ads. Traditional campaign tools, such as lawn signs, don’t convey a candidate’s stance on issues, he said. “Lawn signs,” he said, “are about who can dress up a pig in the best lipstick.” □

Superheroic support Comic book community rallies behind local artist diagnosed with terminal cancer t’s been about three weeks since Susan Schulz suffered a massive, 45-minute-long Iseizure and was airlifted to the UC San

Francisco Medical Center, and even less time has passed since doctors delivered a dire prognosis: Schulz’s life expectancy is about two years, if she survives the next round of chemotherapy. Schulz has struggled with cancerous brain tumors since she first fell ill as a student at Chico State 12 years ago. In that time, she’s undergone two brain surgeries, several rounds of chemo and a decade-long period of remission. About a year ago, doctors found more tumors, one of which has resisted treatment and progressed to stage 4, the disease’s most severe state. However, the 36-year-old Chico resident didn’t act like the recent recipient of such grim news last Monday (Aug. 22) during an interview at Kettil’s Keep Table Top Games, the East Avenue shop she owns with her husband, Shane Will. Schulz was quick to laugh at her own self-professed “dorky” jokes, peppering the conversation with references to comic books, movies and old TV shows. She was also possessed of a steely resolve. “I’ve beat cancer several times now, and I’m pretty damned sure I can do it again,” she said. Will is the owner of local publishing company

CK Comics and the founder of Chico-Con, a comic book convention celebrating its third year this Saturday (Aug. 27) at the Elks Lodge. Schulz has also worked for CK

Comics, inking and coloring several issues. With Schulz’s latest bout with illness coinciding with final preparations for this year’s convention, many of the couple’s friends and colleagues have stepped up to support her. This weekend’s Chico-Con will include a raffle for collectible artwork and other prizes to benefit Schulz. “One of my fellow artists, Chuck Bowmen, asked if he could do something to help, like donate some art for a raffle or auction,” Will said. “I thought that would be great and contributed the first page I ever drew from my comic Caliber. We put those two online and the comic book community has been awesome. Some guys from Marvel and DC have given us some pages, and everyone is reaching out to help. “It’s a friendly group,” he added. “We take care of our own.” Chico-Con has been remarkably successful since it started in 2014 at Chico Veterans Memorial Hall. Will said he expected a few hundred attendees and hoped for 1,000 at the inaugural event; more than 2,000 showed up. He is anticipating upward of 6,000 people

SIFT ER trump’s spiral Just as polls taken during the month leading up to the Republican and Democratic national conventions saw Donald Trump’s chances of winning a presidential election over Hillary Clinton rise steadily to a point where the odds were about even, the month since has seen his chances drop just as quickly. According to Nate Silver’s fivethirtyeight.com aggregate of national polls, as of Aug. 18, Clinton had an 88.5 percent chance of winning the presidency while The Donald’s number stood at 11.4 percent. Furthermore, Clinton is predicted to get 49 percent of the popular vote and 365.5 electoral votes to Trump’s 40 percent popular vote and 171.9 electoral votes.

this weekend. The number of booths hosting vendors and industry professionals has roughly doubled each year, this year exceeding 70. The couple said funds raised from the raffle will mostly go toward travel costs (Schulz must visit UCSF every six weeks for chemotherapy, with her next session scheduled in two weeks) and treatment not covered by insurance. Schulz said she finds it ironic that her insurance covers the anxiety medication to calm her for chemo, but not the treatment itself. Though determined to beat the disease, Schulz said her latest diagnosis has reminded her to make the most of every minute. She and Will spoke of small trips they want to make sooner rather than later—to the coastal redwoods and Disneyland’s Star Wars-themed land when it opens. “It’s not about going certain places as much as it is about going with my husband,” she said, describing Will, whom she met in 2008 and married three years ago, as her soul mate. “The hardest thing about going through this is that I want to spend the rest of my life having new experiences with him.” Schulz became emotional for a moment, but laughter replaced tears as the couple started describing one another, and her illness, in terms of comic book superpowers. “Having a 45-minute seizure feels a lot like being electrocuted,” she said. “Now if I could just get this electrical storm in my brain to come out of my hands, then I’d have something to work with.” —Ken Smith kens@ newsr ev iew.c o m

Hard(line) opening Chico GOP’s office-warming party reinforces protesters’ comparisons to Trump, down to the ejection of reporter hen local GOP organizers set last Saturday (Aug. 20) for the W grand opening of their regional

campaign headquarters in Chico, Democratic Party organizer Bob Mulholland leaped into action. He organized a protest—rallying his base by, among other things, dispatching a mailer from the Chico Democrats connecting Chico Vice Mayor Sean Morgan (up for reelection) with Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. Saturday morning at 1058 Mangrove Ave.—what supporters call the North State Republican Victory HQ and opponents brand the Trump/Sean Morgan Campaign Office—this distinction of Trump or not-Trump proved a defining characteristic. Mulholland may have imposed the narrative from the outside, but actions of organizers and reactions by local Republicans suggest a party that’s maybe not, contrary to what state Sen. Jim Nielsen told the audience, “going to unify.” Indeed, Nielsen made his impassioned declaration—continuing, “Today is the day all Republicans are welcome, all Butte County folks are welcome, even Bernie folks are welcome!”—right before an incident that undercut his message: this reporter getting kicked out. From 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., when

speeches began inside, around a dozen protesters and 220 event attendees had occupied the same general vicinity. With protesters relegated to the perimeter, the building buffered the partisan groups. Organizers insisted anyone they identified as a protester would face removal from the premises (private property), so protesters were restricted to the sidewalk (public property). Mulholland remained streetside but engaged in a debate with Jack Breuker, North State regional policy director for the GOP. Breuker 10

recorded their entire exchange with a video camera; Mulholland pulled out his smartphone and recorded himself getting recorded. When Breuker insisted that the center was established for regional races, as opposed to being a presidential satellite, Mulholland exclaimed: “Not for Trump? What kind of Republican headquarters is this? Stand up for your candidate!” Actually, the center did, with Trump/Pence campaign signs for the taking and a cut-out of Trump in the main room. Plus, evoking the tone of Trump rallies, organizers offered limited access to media at an event to which they’d invited the public, then ushered out a reporter whom a Republican had asked into the building. The point person for Saturday’s event, Saulo Londono, welcomed print media (the CN&R) and broadcast media (KRCR Channel 7) into the office complex’s courtyard, located off the backside parking lot. However, only the TV crew gained access to the room holding the reception— and just for a few early speeches to capture atmospheric shots (known as “B roll”). Londono declined this reporter’s earlier request to enter, even for a quick photo, saying the camera could make people in the room feel uncomfortable. Before the program began, Paula McLay, a member of Chico Republican Women Federated, invited this reporter just inside the building to shoot a photo of her organization’s table, which was manned by Stephanie Taber, CRWF president. The table was close enough to the reception area to hear the speakers. Chico City Councilwoman Reanette Fillmer explained how much the GOP campaign center had meant to her election effort in 2014. Assemblyman Jim Gallagher repeated many of the same comments he made in a CN&R inter-

view 20 minutes earlier, encapsulated by his remark that “we need a new course and Republicans have it, so the next generation gets the California we all love and can benefit from.” Partway through Nielsen’s speech—after his rousing cry for unity, on behalf of North State GOP representatives in Sacramento and D.C.—one of the organizers escorting out the camera crew asked this reporter to leave the room. McLay, visibly upset, followed through the door. Londono came right after, providing an explanation that did not satisfy McLay— that the speeches weren’t open to media coverage. He had not stated so earlier. McLay said she could not understand why they would be private; Republicans should want their message to get out. The door opened again, and Taber approached Londono. “If he’s not welcome, I’m not welcome,” Taber said. She turned and departed. Around the same time, 12:30 p.m.,

organizers mounted a counterprotest to Mulholland’s. Five young adults emerged with handmade signs. The face-off lasted less than five minutes, ending when the cameras had their shots. Mulholland expressed to the group, which included Breuker, that he was pleased by the attention.

Other Chico Democrats also had drawn attention. One driver razzing the protesters, too preoccupied to notice the pickup in front had stopped mid-block for pedestrians, wound up in a fenderbender. Mike Hawkins, a longtime Democratic Party activist, estimated a 50-50 split between friendly and unfriendly responses. “Exciting times,” said Jean McGrath, a fellow protester. The grand opening drew a who’s-who of North State conservative politicians: U.S. Rep. Doug LaMalfa, Nielsen, Gallagher, Butte County Supervisor Larry Wahl, Morgan, Fillmer, Paradise Town Councilman Woody Culleton and Oroville City Councilman Dave Pittman. Also in attendance were

several lesser-known general election candidates, including Dr. Eugene Cleek (Congressional District 3), Loretta Torres and Jovanni Tricerri (Chico City Council), Mike Zuccolillo (Paradise Town Council) and Mike Greer (Paradise school board). The regional campaign apparatus covers Butte and surrounding counties, with Chico as the epicenter.

will benefit—expressed support for the GOP candidate. LaMalfa, the District 1 Congressman: “As Republicans, as conservatives, as patriots ... we’re all kind of interlocked together on this, so I’m interested in Sean Morgan getting re-elected, I’m interested in Donald Trump getting elected.” Cleek, the Enloe-based surgeon running to unseat John Garamendi: “I am voting for Donald Trump. Do I agree with everything? No … but he needs to be the president, not Hillary Clinton.” Gallagher, the District 3 Assemblyman: “I think [the protesters out front] want to take the focus off their own candidate … if they want to do something, talk about what she’s done, what she’s going to do, and can we believe her, can we trust her?” Zuccolillo, the Butte County GOP chairman: “[Trump is] not afraid to speak his mind…. I’ve always been somebody who’s outspoken, not afraid to speak my mind, and I think people find that view refreshing.” Only Morgan backed away from the Trump association. “I think it’s funny,” he said around 1:15 p.m., after both assemblages had dispersed. “I guess if I’m the people protesting this, I gotta go, ‘OK … we can’t attack his record, so let’s throw him in with this guy [Trump].’ “I’ll be honest with you: What’s happening nationally is irrelevant to my race.” Morgan said he also is running independently of the two other council candidates who attended the event. Yet, if the GOP embraces those other two conservatives, all three will benefit from the collective campaign resources. In that way, Morgan agreed, the GOP is connecting candidates up and down the ticket—if not promoting regional unification, then integration. “I think that’s absolutely a great word [integration],” Morgan said, adding: “If we march together, things are better.”

is worse when they’re having a reaction— how much to draw up, what dose, where to inject it.” Enter the EpiPen, produced by pharmaceutical company Mylan. It’s relatively foolproof, automatically delivering a measured dose of epinephrine when pressed into the thigh. It’s a trusted brand name among allergists and other health care professionals. “It’s the easiest to use and the best device on the market,” Dotson said. It’s also the only device on the market. Last year, Sanofi, producer of EpiPen’s main competitor, issued a total recall of its product, the Auvi-Q, due to inaccurate dosages, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. In 2007, when Mylan purchased the EpiPen trademark, two of the devices cost $57, according to Connecture, a health insurance technology and data analytics company. Mylan then launched an awareness campaign on childhood allergies and steadily raised the price; the company’s annual profits on EpiPen now exceed $1 billion, according to Mylan’s website.

ing at my already-swollen foot and shooting up my leg. It didn’t look good. Feeling flushed, I left the field and walked toward my truck, parked in a lot on Nord Avenue. Halfway there, white hives had formed on my arms and legs and my face felt heavy. Not only was it swollen, as I saw in the reflection of my cellphone, but I also looked 30 years older. The creases around my mouth and on my forehead were bizarrely exaggerated. The rest of my body was rapidly turning lobster-red; every inch of skin itched intensely. Calling 911 was not an option. I couldn’t afford to ride in an ambulance and Enloe Medical Center was just blocks away. So, I got in my truck and started driving, now feeling like I was breathing out of a straw. This was really serious, I thought as I turned onto North Cedar Street toward the hospital. Then the engine sputtered, because my truck was out of gas.

The first-line medication for an anaphylactic

reaction is epinephrine. According to information provided by Denise Kratzer, a battalion chief with Butte County EMS, it’s used to treat allergic reactions caused by insect bites or stings, foods and medications, and works by relaxing the muscles of airways and tightening blood vessels. Butte County EMS keeps epinephrine in vials or pre-filled syringes, depending on the concentration, and the first responders use it fairly often. Last month, the agency answered roughly 2,000 emergency calls and administered epinephrine 91 times. Drawing epinephrine into a syringe and injecting it is easy, at least for medical personnel, said Dr. Anton Dotson of Chico’s Allergy Associates. “I know how to fill syringes,” he said. “But a normal civilian who’s stung by a hornet, they’re nervous, having a hard time breathing.

Janet Balbutin, owner of Chico Pharmacy, said that the cost is up by nearly 500 percent since 2010 and that her customers usually will decline to buy EpiPens when they see the price tag. “It’s the poorest people who are paying for it,” she said. “They’re afraid for their children; they’re scared to death of not having it.” As for my story, my truck sprang back to

life on North Cedar Street, ran on fumes for the last couple of blocks and died just as I coasted into a parking spot outside Enloe’s Emergency Department. The woman at the front desk gave me one look and put me at the front of the line. Within minutes, I was in a hospital bed with vital sensors on my chest, an IV in my arm and a nasal cannula helping me breathe. Hospital staff asked me if I’d ever been stung by a bee; I told them that I’d been stung six or seven times over the past few years, but this had never happened. Well, it will from now on, a nurse said. The reaction, my body overresponding to the bee’s venom, will be worse if I’m stung in the future. The IV contained a cocktail of antihistamines and steroids and, over the next hour, my skin turned from red to splotchy to normal, and my face looked more or less all right. I was written a prescription for EpiPens and sent home. On the way out, the nurse advised me against playing sports barefoot. A kit of epinephrine, which comes with a vial of medication, syringe and gauze, costs $10, Balbutin said. When the medica-

tion expires, it’s $2.50 to refill the vial. She recommends that patients ask their doctor to prescribe them such a kit, rather than pay for an EpiPen. “The company, Mylan, thinks they can get away with it right now,” she said. “[Pharmacists] don’t have an answer.” Julie Knell, a representative for Mylan, responded to the CN&R’s request for an interview with a prepared statement. “Mylan has worked tirelessly … advocating for increased anaphylaxis awareness, preparedness and access to treatment for those living with potentially life-threatening (severe) allergies,” it reads. “Given the unpredictable and life-threatening nature of anaphylaxis, nothing is more costly than failed or no treatment.” Mylan’s statement attributes the price changes to the health care insurance landscape. “An increasing number of families are enrolled in high deductible health plans, and deductible amounts continue to rise. This shift ... has presented new challenges for consumers, and they are bearing more of the cost.” The company doesn’t control final retail prices, it continues, and offers coupons that eliminate co-pays for some patients. The people who get gouged, Dotson said, are either uninsured or haven’t met the yearly deductible on their health plan, like me. When I begrudgingly bought my EpiPens, I learned they weren’t a one-time expense. The medication expires after 12 months and must be refilled. Ouch. □

Short circuit So you want to get in better cardiovascular shape—and maybe tone up a little, too—but find slogging on a treadmill dreadfully boring. As an alternative, consider circuit training, an exercise format that increases your heart rate, strengthens your muscles, and keeps your mind engaged. Here’s the trick: Move through eight to 10 different exercises quickly, with little to no rest between sets. Each set should last 30 seconds to three minutes, and you should allow a total of 20 to 30 minutes. Create the circuit that works for you—beginners should pace themselves as necessary, and if you want more of a challenge, switch between stations more quickly or up the weight or intensity. If you get bored with your circuit, change the exercises, sequence or setting. For instance, instead of working out at the gym, hit the trails in Bidwell Park and alternate between running, walking, push-ups and squats.

GREEN Matt Ball shows off a new addition to the Butte County Mosquito and Vector Control District: indoor tanks that allow for year-round breeding (and, thus, distribution) of larvae-eating mosquitofish.

contract simply from the miniscule bite of a pesky mosquito. Ball has a professional obligation to keep these threats at bay, as manager of the Butte County Mosquito and Vector Control District. He also has a responsibility at home: Every day, he thinks of his 6-yearold son living and playing on the Ridge. Last year, when the county experienced its record-worst West Nile outbreak—55 human cases, over half with the most severe strain (neuroinvasive)—the afflicted included a half-dozen children under age 14. Since first detecting the virus in California in 2003, public health officials have confirmed 225 Butte County residents having contracted West Nile. Eight of them died. “If that was your wife or your son or your grandma,” Ball noted, “one is too many. “Same with Zika: My level of concern is great, because even though [public health officials] are considering us a lower risk but still a possibility, one child being born with microcephaly is something I can’t tolerate.” Zika—transmitted primarily via mosquitoes, but also via sex with an infected man or blood transfusions from an infected person—can cause brain defects in a developing fetus. One birth defect is microcephaly, an abnormally small head. “I couldn’t imagine seeing a child having those lifelong complications just because of the bite of a mosquito,” Ball said. In California, particularly the North State,

Zika has been an over-there issue despite media saturation the past year. The focus first was on Latin America, particularly Brazil, because of the Olympics; then Miami because of a localized outbreak; then the Gulf Coast and Caribbean because of the tropical climate that spawned comparable flare-ups. Now, Zika has become an over-here issue. A few mosquito species capable of carrying Zika have made their way to California where—thanks to the effects of climate change—they’re finding the habitat hospitable. The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has confirmed 170 cases in 26 counties, and though they’re all linked to travel, the vector threat looms. Of those, two babies have been born with Zika-related microcephaly. Dr. Karen Smith, California’s state health officer, advises in a news release that, in the face of Zika, “pregnant women and couples planning to have children need to be especially cautious.” Connecting climate change to Zika may seem

like an interdisciplinary leap, but it’s all biology—“common sense,” as Ball explains it. Temperatures have been rising worldwide, setting high marks year upon year this decade. Case in point: NASA and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Association recently declared July 2016 the hottest month on record (i.e., since 1880, Learn more:

when tracking began). Mosquitoes breed in specific climate conditions. They are active when it’s hot and humid. So, concurrent with the change in climate has come a change in “mosquito season.” Climate Central, an organization of climate scientists and journalists, reports that three-fourths of U.S. cities have experienced an increase in the number of days with mosquito activity. This corresponds with the experience locally. Ball said the North State mosquito season traditionally runs June through September. In the previous four years, afflicted by drought, mosquito season ran February through November. This wet winter did not delay matters—mosquitoes again went active in February—and Ball projects another continuation through November. “Climate change is definitely playing a new role in mosquito control,” he said, explaining that the expanded opportunity for breeding has an “exponential” effect on the population. Then there’s immigration. According to CDPH, two known Zika vectors have been found in 12 counties in the state. Butte isn’t one of them. The first one, known as the Asian Tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus), initially appeared in California around 2002 in ports at Alameda and Los Angeles. That infestation was contained, Ball said, but a small Asian Tiger population took root in the L.A. basin five years ago and since has expanded into Orange County and the Inland Empire. The other carrier, the Yellow Fever mosquito (Aedes aegypti), first appeared in three Central Valley counties; now that species has been found all the way from Hayward to San Diego. Another relative, the Austrialian Backyard mosquito (Aedes notoscriptus), also has appeared in Southern California; there are no indications it is a vector, but Ball said “it’s plausible other mosquitoes can carry this,” and research is ongoing.

Mapping, notably projections of Zika spread conducted by Kansas University researchers, shows the Sacramento Valley as a potential hotbed of vector-borne disease. “Climate change isn’t just about warming the temperature so the mosquitoes have a longer reproductive period,” said Chico State biology professor Kristina Schierenbeck, who studies the impact of climate change on plant and animal species. “They’ll continue to move north as climate warms and we continue to have anomalous weather patterns.” Schierenbeck sees what’s happening with mosquitoes as reflective of a broader phenomenon of species migration and climate-related change, covered in her book Phlyogeography of California. “It’s not just Zika we have to worry about,” she added, “it’s a lot of other diseases associated with environmental decline.” □

Store Director Sarah Foisy oversees everything that takes place at the eclectic college store. She sat down with the CN&R to chat about where the store has been and where it’s headed.

How long have you worked here? I have been with the Wildcat Store for just over two years, and I love it here. Working with Chico State students, faculty and staff has been very rewarding, and it’s great to see the high level of involvement Chico State students have with their campus and community.

This is obviously the busy season, right? Yes, back to school. It’s always the most exciting time, and having the students back on campus brings so much energy. Over the past few weeks, the bookstore team has put in a lot of prep work to ensure we’re ready to help students, faculty, staff and fans start the school year on the right foot—from textbooks to supplies and the latest spirit gear.

I spent this last weekend traveling—to South Lake Tahoe for a night to visit with my sister and her husband, and then to Denver, where I got to play the part, with my friend Jackie Karol, of a pool-playing angel. South Lake was breathtaking. I’m kind of embarrassed to say I’ve never made it there before! We flew to Denver because Karol’s company, The Angel of Billiards, was a vendor at the Rocky Mountain Cigar Festival. We did a variety of things, from trick-shot demos (mostly her, though she did teach me a few!) to mini-lessons to playing challengers for a price (a portion of the money we made will benefit local foster families). You can find Karol at Chico Billiards Academy, at 1005 W. First St., next door to The Oasis Bar & Grill.

How are things different since you took over as director? We have more of an expansion on rental books available here.

What made you decide to sell vinyl? Vinyl is one of the faster growing particular forms of music in the music industry right now. It seems to be more common of an interest than CDs nowadays. We’re carrying a variety of music from classic rock to more pop stuff like Kayne West. —TOM SundGren

speaking of … The Oasis recently started accepting credit cards, which came as a surprise to pretty much everyone who’s ever stepped foot in the place. Owner Stacy Schaeffer said it was just time to make the switch-over, and it seems appropriate, as it happened within a month or so of the installation of new awnings out front. I want to take this opportunity to wish The Oasis a very happy birthday, as it opened in 1961—55 years ago.

Brand new My buddy Chris Singleton, who’s the operations manager over at 101.7 KVXX FM, had some exciting news to share this week. I’ve always liked his station, but my personal musical taste is a little more rockin’ and a little less emopop. Well, I’ll probably let my car radio dial hover on 101.7 a little more starting today (Aug. 25), because that’s exactly where the station is headed. It’s rebranding itself to 1017X and will be airing more alternative hits. “It’s going to be a much more exciting station to listen to,” Singleton said, “more upbeat and energetic music; fewer ballads and pop-sounding songs.” Sounds good to me! shoe gazing The Baker family moved to Paradise 45 years ago and it’s safe to say they’ve made their mark on Chico and Ridge roads ever since. At least when it comes to footwear. They opened Baker’s Birkenstock in Chico in 1976—the store celebrated its 40th anniversary in April—and then a second store in Paradise five years later. In honor of that store’s 35th anniversary, Celeste Baker tells me they’ll be having an open house this Friday (Aug. 26), from 2-6 p.m., complete with refreshments and specials.

t Mexico City’s historic central square, or zócalo, Jose Adan Garcia Canales was busy balancing a small pipe organ on a wooden peg. He turned its crank, and the instrument let out a shrill tune reminiscent of circus music. Garcia’s partner strolled amid the shoppers, tourists and vendors with a hat in hand, asking for change. The organillero, or organ-grinder, is one of many in the capital’s massive unofficial economy. He’s a man of the people, with his fingers on the pulse of the city, and that’s why I asked him about one of the most pressing issues in Mexico today: Donald Trump. What does the everyday Mexican think of “the wall,” or Trump’s plan to send 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States back to Mexico, among so many other contentious proposals?

Garcia’s response was to the point: “They’re very radical,” he said in Spanish. “I don’t like them.” In the weeks leading up to the Republican National Convention, I interviewed a number of Mexico City residents—from teachers to musicians to fellow journalists—about Trump, and whether the demagogic candidate had changed their perception of America. Responses varied. While the organillero didn’t believe Trump would win the election, some predicted that Trump would take it all in November. Others hinted at a conspiracy between Trump and Mexico’s president. A few bluntly compared Trump to Hitler. And some likened his campaign to a stunt, instead of an honest attempt to win the White House. Lots of people described the man with the darkest of humor: His campaign is a joke, but not a funny one. One common theme emerged from all of these interviews: Trump has to go. Or, in Spanish: ¡Fuera Trump!

‘He’s like a clown’ Fabiola Valdez Gutierrez, interpreter Fabiola Valdez Guierrez is a SpanishEnglish interpreter—but her message for Trump needs no translation: He will never build “the wall.” She actually believes that, if he were in fact elected and did try to push the wall, a litigious private sector on both sides of the border would stop his plans in the courts. “Mexican companies have American partners that would likely lose money, as well, and I cannot see the federal government trying to solve all the possible lawsuits that will be surfacing” because of the wall, she explained. Valdez understands issues north and south of the border. She works remotely with clients in the United States and other English-speaking countries. She also has family in America and, in 2003, spent a summer in Texas and Arizona. So, for her, the border is personal. Like many people I spoke to, Valdez was cynical when it came to Trump and his bombastic style. “He presents himself as a great business success, but a lot of reporters have caught him lying,” she explained. She thinks his No. 1 motivation is to further his Trump brand with scandals and constant media attention. But “his message is so full of ignorance that it is a joke to think that his proposals are serious,” she said. Is there anything new about Trump’s brand of bigotry? Valdez doesn’t thinks so, calling it a byproduct of “a racist America that is still palpable and very alive, present in a lot of cities.” The only surprise is that’s he’s a legitimate major-party candidate, she said—one supported by extremists who “won’t recognize the multiculturalism in their own country,” and who want “to go back to an

America that never existed.” For Valdez, that’s why Trump’s popularity is ultimately scary: It validates the idea that “racists think they have the right to impose their worldview on the rest of the population, and ultimately the world.” Despite her concern about Trump and his supporters, she said that his vision is basically a punchline in Mexico. “He is like a clown,” she explained. “Nobody has real concerns or fears about him becoming president. At least not in my social circle.”

‘We are Poland and Trump is Germany’ Federico Campbell Peña, journalist A TV journalist who works for Canal Once, or the “Mexican PBS,” Federico Campbell Peña has followed Trump’s campaign from day one. And he is certain that Trump, whom he calls a “unique species,” will win. That’s a disconcerting prognostication from a man who also recently wrote a self-published book, Stop Trump: Una cronología abreviada, or an “abridged chronology.” But Campbell doesn’t want Trump to move into the White House; his hope with the book is to inspire Mexican leadership to develop a plan to deal with the possibility of a Trump presidency. The writer partially attributes Trump’s appeal in America to the scandals that have beset Hillary Clinton. But he also believes that global instability is setting the table for a Trump presidency. “ISIS is helping Mr. Trump,” he explained, “and also the police attacks.” If Trump becomes president, Campbell predicted that he would imme-

diately enact a series of “publicity policies,” such as building the border wall, to prove his might. Another demonstration of power Campbell expects in Trump’s hypothetical first year is the cessation of diplomatic relations between Mexico and America—as crazy as that sounds. “We are not going to have ambassador[s] in D.C. and in Mexico City,” he predicted. But Campbell does not believe Mexico would fork over the billions of dollars needed to erect Trump’s notorious wall. He cited President Enrique Peña Nieto, who recently said, “There is no way that Mexico can pay.” He does expect a truly massive deportation effort, although not of every undocumented immigrant, as Trump has promised. According to Campbell, that would be physically impossible. “But he is going to deport more people than Obama.” If that happens, he predicted the U.S. economy could collapse, due to the sudden removal of a large percentage of its labor force and consumer base. And the situation would be equally as dire on the receiving end. “Mexico cannot receive a lot of migrants,” he said. And with the loss of remittances from Mexicans that had been living in the states, the Mexican economy could fold, too. In an interesting twist, Campbell said conspiracy theories about Trump abound. “A taxi [driver] told me that Peña Nieto has just been with Donald Trump,” he said, implying that the two are somehow in cahoots. He explained that many Mexicans share an inherent distrust of mainstream news outlets, because of their close ties to government. But it’s also possible that conspiracy theories are simply a means for those

who feel disempowered to make sense of Trump’s madness. Speaking of which: How does it feel to be Mexican and hear Trump’s vitriolic message? Campbell was blunt: “We feel as [though we are] Polish in 1938, when Adolf Hitler reached power in Germany. ... We are Poland and Trump is Germany.”

‘The easiest way is hate’ Ali Gua Gua, punk musician and disc jockey Like many Mexicans, Trump wasn’t on Ali Gua Gua’s radar prior to his current campaign. “We only know he had, like, some hotels and had a lot of money,” she explained while seated in the middle of a protest encampment full of striking teachers in the heart of Mexico City, where she lives. Gua Gua—a globetrotting musician prominent in the Latin American punk scene—is perhaps best known as part of the Kumbia Queers, an all-female outfit whose members hail from Mexico and Argentina. She views Trump’s popularity in America as a byproduct of a strong strain of cultural intolerance in the country. “I think in the United States, [people are] more aggressive when you’re different,” she observed. “And I think Trump is representing these people who think all the problems are because of immigration.” TRUMP! c o n t i n u e d

But she also realizes that the U.S. economy sucks for a lot of people. “I think United States citizens are very scared about the economy,” she said. In turn, they’re drawn to Trump’s quasi-populist message and purported business acumen. Although she thinks Trump ultimately will lose the election, Gua Gua admitted that it’s still frightening that his ideas carried him to the nomination. “The easiest way is hate,” she said. And she also wanted to share a warning for Trump supporters in America: White people will soon be outnumbered. She dismissed Trump’s claim that the Mexican government uses the United States as a “release valve” for its own domestic poverty. Instead, she said, common people are often faced with an impossible situation. “If you’re a young guy, in a small town in the middle of Mexico, you have only a few choices: You’re a peasant and you

starve [to] death, or you become a policeman, [or] te vuelves narco [you traffic drugs], or you go to the states.” And a majority decline crossing the border, because it is expensive and fraught with danger. Amazingly, she keeps a sense of humor about Trump. During our chat, she joked about his “piggy face,” and how metal bands might find him the perfect target for their derision were he elected. And, in the end, she likened his candidacy to dystopian farce with a musical twist: “For me, it’s like a comic, no? It’s like Jello Biafra’s worst nightmare.”

‘Little Trumps’ Maritza Waldo Molina, English teacher When Maritza Waldo Molina crossed the border with a coyote, or trafficker, she didn’t even realize it was illegal. She lived for more than five years in North Carolina, beginning in 2005. And she returned to Mexico only for her parents’ sake. But she still has family in America, some of whom are legal residents, some still undocumented. Waldo, now an English teacher, said that her view of Trump is akin to that of the majority of Mexicans:

“Everybody thinks he’s a jerk.” Her theory as to the candidate’s popularity, however, is unique: People get defensive when they feel threatened—“The problem is, like, we blame everybody”—and Trump is the ultimate defense mechanism. As a Mexican, she isn’t offended by Americans who love Trump—because she isn’t surprised. “I’m not 100 percent neutral, but I know you can expect anything” from politics on both sides of the border. Her big-picture attitude is that the president doesn’t matter: The rich will get richer, and they’ll continue to ignore the working class. To that skeptical end, she described Trump as a “Muppet” who’s “part of a malicious plan.” (More of those conspiracy theories.) She views Trump’s role as the distraction, the guy who says hateful and outrageous things to keep people distracted, while the powerful elite do the real damage. That’s one reason why she thinks Trump will win. She’s equally jaded when it comes to Mexican politics. Waldo mentioned the most recent presidential race, in which Peña Nieto won with less than half of the popular vote, an election reminiscent of the Bush-Gore standoff of 2000. She also thinks we all have some of Trump’s flaws in us, to varying degrees. She called these our “little Trumps.”

‘Mexico belongs to the United States’ Cuauhtli Contreras, shop owner On most days, you’ll find Cuauhtli Contreras at his news kiosk in Mexico City’s zócalo, where he sells papers and magazines, bottled drinks and loose cigarettes. He’s a man of the news—so you might be surprised, then, that he sympathizes with Trump. “He’s defending his country. No one sees it that way, but it’s true,” Contreras argued. Nonetheless, he believes Trump will lose, because his vitriol disassociates so many voters. “If you’re not blonde and tall, you’re opposed to Trump,” he explained in Spanish. For Contreras, Trump isn’t directly threatening Mexico. His message is not about Mexicans. “His whole campaign of hate is against Mexicans in the United 22

States,” he explained. Contreras’ views also stand out because, he said, if Trump were to win, he thinks the Mexican government would in fact go along with his plans. “Mexico belongs to the United States,” he said. He pointed out that it has been this way since the MexicanAmerican War, when the U.S. Army occupied Mexico City and flew the Stars and Stripes over the very square where he runs his kiosk. That’s why Contreras believes that Mexico might bend to pressure and pay for a border wall—even though his country would have to borrow money from the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, or possibly America itself to make it happen. If that occurred, that Mexico would carry the debt for generations. “It’s like I told you, Mexico is not in a position to refuse the United States.”

‘What would the [U.S.] gain from being constantly at war?’ Isaías Jaime Ignacio Cruz, teacher on strike The ongoing teachers strike in Mexico City is a mass protest against national education reforms that would hardly cause U.S. citizens to bat an eye. But critics say Peña Nieto’s proposals have more to do with privatization than actu-

ally improving schools. And his government has tried to enforce its will against protesters with violent police crackdowns. To that end, teacher Isaías Jaime Ignacio Cruz sees similarities between Trump’s rhetoric and the reality in Mexico. “[H]ere, too, our government has already become very right-wing,” he explained. “It has become more discriminatory, and it’s affecting its own population.” A teacher from Oaxaca, Ignacio has been part of the teacher occupation in Mexico City since 2013. He said that what makes Trump worse than most is that “he is a person who discriminates too much and that, in fact, he is racist toward certain groups.” Ignacio predicted that the U.S. economy would collapse if undocumented immigrants were prevented from entering the country or sent back to Latin America. “They have jobs that Americans cannot or will not do,” he said. He added that U.S. business owners ultimately benefit from undocumented immigration, since those without legal status will often work for less money. He wonders what supporters think they will gain from Trump’s belligerent policy. “We’ve already seen this gentleman’s intentions to begin cutting ties with all of the developing nations,” he said. “What would the [United States] gain from being constantly at war?” Hopefully, he said, Americans will come to their senses by November. He quoted Benito Juarez, the first indigenous president of Mexico: “Respect for the rights of others means peace.”

EXCLUSIVE & ACADEMIC

this year, Trump tweeted a picture of himself at his desk with a sad-looking tortilla shell—a classic example of Americanized “Mexican” food—and the caption “I love Hispanics!” “It’s very weird,” Sanchez lamented. “It’s a comedy.” Sanchez thinks the motive for Trump’s slapdash campaign is obvious: “I think that Donald Trump only wants to draw attention.” He sees Trump’s extremism as a side show. “Se sabe que no va a ganar,” or in English: “It’s known that he is not going to win.” Sanchez speculated that instead, the entire campaign is about creating a high profile to earn more cash. “His finances aren’t so good right now and he

! Brillyl Sanchez, customer service Brillyl Sanchez sat in a Quakerrun hostel and community center in central Mexico City, where he sometimes practices English with ex-pats and hostel guests. Sanchez, who is gay, admitted that the current groundswell of global reactionary conservatism, including Trump’s overwhelming popularity, feels not only regressive, but also dangerous. “I hope that he doesn’t win,” he said with the utmost sincerity. “It’s the first time that I’ve heard a candidate who talks like this, so openly, about problems ... without making a sound judgment about the causes,” he explained. Sanchez brought up the “taco bowl” episode: On Cinco de Mayo

to pursue a hard line with Mexico, his influence would be limited by pre-existing agreements between the two governments, the counterweight of the U.S. Congress, and state laws along the border. Diaz also believes that Mexico’s significance as a leading country in Latin America would temper some of Trump’s more extreme proposals. “We say that, in terms of Latin America, Mexico represents the big brother for the majority of countries, with the exception more recently of Brazil, Chile or Argentina,” the professor explained. He pointed out that Mexico has been the United States’ partner for 150 years. This means that, according to Diaz, the country is an essential intermediary between the United States and other Latin American nations. In other words, Trump would need Mexico. Mexico also has deep economic ties to the United States. Not only do U.S.-based firms use cheap Mexican labor, but Mexico, with roughly 120 million residents, represents an important consumer market (think “Mexican Coke”). But Diaz also reminded me that most voters in Latin America admire U.S. elections as clean and free of repression or corruption. At the same time, he thinks that, in the United States, Latino voters are undervalued as a complementary bloc to white voters, and that their interests are too often overlooked. Trump’s pandering to the concerns of an ever-insecure, mostly conservative base support Diaz’s view. And that’s the rub in Mexico: “For us, the worst thing is that there’s a mass [of people] that support the proposals of Donald Trump,” he said. “Today, if you ask any Mexican, they’ll say, ‘God willing, Hillary Clinton will win.’” Interestingly, this anti-Trump sentiment is shared across the political aisle in Mexico, from supporters of the conservative Peña Nieto to those who sympathize with the striking teachers. They’re all saying it: “God help us if Donald Trump Ω wins!”

needs more publicity.” But Sanchez said that, as a gay man, he views Trump’s response to incidents such as the Orlando shooting as wildly irresponsible and disrespectful. “I think that was, like, very misguided,” he told me. “Who’s he helping, really?” Sanchez believes that Clinton would be a better leader for the gay community and the country in general.

With the chico.com non-English tongues and the fact that one of those percussion pieces is an Indian dhol, it might be tempting to call the band “world” (which it very often is), but that oversimplifies a varied sound that runs from the Western-influenced Punjabi “folk-hop” style of bhangra to American-born jazz. All of it starts with bandleader, singer and dhol-player Sunny Jain, an upstate New York native whose parents emigrated from India in the 1970s. Jain was brought up on Punjabi music and was simultaneously immersed in a culture of classicrock radio hits. And amid these influences, he found his own outlet: jazz.

CN&R

AUGUST 25, 2016

“When I went to study drums with my private teacher, he was a bebop drummer, and so instead of showing me John Bonham licks, he showed me Philly Joe Jones, Art Blakey,” Jain said in a recent telephone interview. “He hit upon the pivotal jazz drummers and that’s really where my love formed.” Jain continued to study jazz and began playing around New York City. Though he was immersed in jazz projects, he began to craft an idea to create an Indian brass band, a rare find in the U.S. but common back in India. “The Red Baraat outfit came about from years of spending time in India during the summers as a child, trips to my family’s homeland in New Delhi, and seeing these Indian marching bands. They’re all over the streets, everyone’s scrambling to get to a gig somewhere,” he said. Jain began searching out friends in New York to start a band with, and in 2005, Red Baraat began to take shape, building its chops during a two-year monthly residence at a small club in Brooklyn. From the start, it wasn’t just the sound audiences reacted to, but also the band members themselves, who comprise a wide array of ethnicities. “What started happening from the beginning was people started noticing how we looked before we’d even play a note, and that started striking me as bizarre,” Jain said. “It was like, ‘Why is this so fascinating for people? I live in New York City; this is normal.’ I started kind of real-

izing, ‘Wow, this is actually very powerful.’ We’re not going up there to necessarily deliver a political message other than: ‘We’re here to celebrate people and humanity; let’s celebrate together.’” In 2012, the band’s second album, Shruggy Ji, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard world music charts, which led to big festival gigs, world tours, a spot on Austin City Limits and an invitation to play at the White House. Even with all that under their belts, the members of Red Baraat still love playing club shows, like the stop at Chico’s Lost On Main tonight (Aug. 25) as part of a tour supporting the band’s latest release, the fivesong EP Livewire. “There’s something that’s just beautiful and cathartic, verses a large outdoor festival where you’re up on stage away from people,” Jain said. Red Baraat is still going to get lumped into world music, but its actual effect is as varied as the makeup of its eclectic audience. “The goal is to bring different backgrounds together,” Jain said. “It allows people just to latch on to what their experience is with music, and to hear something familiar, but hear it with a twist that’s not familiar. If we go to London, people hear the punk influence in our music. If we go to Southeast Asia, people hear the bhangra and the Bollywood. And if we play for a jazz audience, people here the jazz influence. There’s someWKLQJ IRU HYHU\ERG\ WR JUDE RQWR ³ Ɛ

In the hands of a cowboy poet, even the most utilitarian item can symbolize the rugged beauty of the American West. Take, for example, the opening stanza of “The Gate,” by Chico’s own Jim Lynch: “It’s a finger mangling closer that drives slivers right on through/Clothed with boards of thorns, grown in hot sun, wind and blue/Steel, held with barbed wire, it’s mean and stout and bleak/That gate will take your pride away, and leave you mild and meek.” Lynch, fellow cowboy poet Bill Hooten, singer/ songwriter Dave Stamey and all-around showman Sourdough Slim (pictured) will present An Evening of Cowboy Poetry and Music on Sunday, Aug. 28 at Durham Memorial Hall.

Dance marathon ISure, Chico’s nightlife was lacking. the dance instructor/studio

owner freely admits, you can go to bars every night, but he believed Chico yearned for by something more. Mason Masis “I saw a need for it in town, something fun,” Anniversary party: Scherba said durStudio One celebrates ing an interview 10 years with a dance inside his Studio party featuring the One ballroom on live dueling pianos of a recent Tuesday the Kelly Brothers, Saturday, Sept. 3, night. “I wanted 7 p.m. Contact to provide a safe, the studio for fun alternative more details. for people to go Studio One out and have 707 Wall St. some kind of 345-9465 entertainment.” www.studioone Scherba, ballroom.com then 25, opened Studio One Ballroom in July of 2006 during the “height of the economy.” Then, a couple of years later, everything crashed. “The economy sucked,” he said. “They say every millionaire has gone bankrupt three times on average. So I’m pretty close to being a millionaire then.” But the studio stayed afloat,

moving twice—its original location was on Mangrove Avenue, then it spent two years inside Chico Creek Dance Centre—before settling into its current location on the corner of Wall and Seventh streets five years ago. And Studio One will be celebrating its 10-year anniversary with a party on Saturday, Sept. 3, with food, dueling pianos and, of course, dancing. “We’ve made it this far. I don’t anticipate us closing down anytime soon,” Scherba said. “We’ll be open for the next 50 years. If we can make it through that, we are fine.” It was salsa night when we talked, and dance instructors yelled out time across the wood-floored ballroom as student dancers tapped their feet back and forth in rhythm and swayed their hips to the beat. Studio One features swing, Latin and ballroom dancing—which are all umbrella terms for about 20 different subgenres that the studio’s instructors teach six days a week. The studio is open in the evenings and it costs $12 ($10 for students and seniors) to drop in on a group class—no partner needed. Friday nights feature a club-style dance after lessons, and Saturdays are the Latin Dance Party ($7 for lessons; $7 for dancing each night). There also are monthly membership plans,

as well as private lessons available. “This is the only real place to dance in town,” Scherba said. “Going to [a bar] is fine, I’m all for that. But it’s just a different vibe. It’s not a partner dance. It’s not a structured dance. It’s a shake and wiggle.” Scherba said that Studio One’s dance instructors routinely compete in national and international competitions and that the facility probably has a combined experience level of just under 100 years among its instructors. “This is a good way to get people out together and a healthy way to interact.” he said. “I oftentimes say, ‘Where else can you go hold someone else’s hand for 30 minutes and have it not be creepy?’ It really establishes a way for humans to connect in a healthy way.” People connecting is the secret to the studio’s success, Scherba said. Without the community and the culture, it would have been hard to maintain his “expensive hobby,” he explained. “We really want to create a positive environment to forget about work, forget about the stresses of relationships or whatever is going on outside, and come here and enjoy the music and the movement on the floor.” □

Based on an article in Rolling by Stone magazine that described realBob Grimm life gun-runners who bilked the bobg @ government and screwed each other new srev i ew. c o m over, the film plays out as a sort of The Wolf of Wall Street with weapons and Albania instead of stocks and the Financial District.

Even though Hill throws Phillips.

Miles Teller plays his partner, David Packouz, a massage therapist who can’t keep his career in line and needs to straighten out fast, especially because he has a kid on the way with his wife, Iz (Ana de Armas, far less scary here than when she was torturing Keanu Reeves in Knock Knock). The story focuses on one big deal that the two try to broker involving millions of rounds of ammunition in an Albanian warehouse. The U.S. government under Cheney and Bush had basically put arms trading deals out to anybody who dared to bid on them, and these guys dove in. They run into all kinds of trouble, some of it predictable. You’ll be able to guess what’s about to happens at times, but hey, much of this actually happened. It just shows how utterly stupid and simplistic the whole system was, and how these dopes walked into all kinds of traps—their predictability and willingness to chase a profit at all costs went hand in hand with their carelessness.

into dramatic satire. Yes, the film has its laughs, but this is by most standards a drama, one that the likes of Scorsese would try to tackle. Mind you, Phillips is no Scorsese, but he does make a good-looking movie containing realistic and strong performances. While he’s going down some familiar story paths here, he does so in a way that comes off stylistically strong. One of the film’s best moments is a sequence in which Efraim and David must drive a relatively small shipment of guns through the Triangle of Death and into the heart of Iraq. It’s funny, thrilling and even a little scary. The parts before and after are riveting and engaging in other ways, but aren’t nearly as fast-paced or entertaining. Teller bounces back impressively after last year’s awful Fantastic Four, giving a performance more in line with his awesome work in Whiplash. War Dogs isn’t a great movie, but especially in a summer that’s stunk, it’s one of the season’s better ones. □

FILM SHORTS Reviewers: Bob Grimm and Juan-Carlos Selznick.

Pete’s Dragon

Bad Moms

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.

Ben-Hur

A re-imagining of Lew Wallace’s Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ (1880), the fictional Biblicalera story of the betrayed Judah Ben Hur and his journey to redemption through chariot racing and a guy named Jesus. Cinemark 14, Feather River Cinemas and Paradise Cinema 7. Rated PG-13.

Florence Foster Jenkins

Meryl Streep teams up with director Stephen Frears (The Queen) in this story based on the real life New York socialite who, in the early/mid-20th century pursued her lifelong dream of being an opera singer despite not having a voice that could remotely meet the demands of the music. Cinemark 14 and Paradise Cinema 7. Rated PG-13.

Jason Bourne

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-ofthe-art 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. Rated PG-13 —J.C.S.

Kubo and the Two Strings

An ambitious-looking stop-motion/CGI animation feature about a young boy who

Pete’s Dragon never descends to the level of mere “Disney-fied” entertainment. 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 adventure” with his parents in mountain wilderness. We quickly learn that he survives for several years without human contact, his only companionship coming from a not unfriendly dragon, a legend in the region but rarely sighted. Eventually, both the 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. Cinemark 14, Feather River Cinemas and Paradise Cinema 7. Rated PG —J.C.S.

Sausage Party

An R-rated animated comedy from Seth Rogen and friends about a hotdog named Frank (voiced by Rogen) who discovers the horrible truth about what happens to groceries when humans take them home from the market. Cinemark 14, Feather River Cinemas and Paradise Cinema 7. Rated R.

The Secret Life of Pets

Louis C.K. stars as the voice of terrier Max, whose cushy life is upended by the arrival of an unwanted new roommate and an ensuing adventure in the big city with a wide-ranging cast of talking animals. Cinemark 14. Rated PG.

Suicide Squad

A film adaptation of the DC Comics antihero team, a group of supervillains released from prison on the condition of carrying out dangerous missions for the government. Cinemark 14, Feather River Cinemas and Paradise Cinema 7. Rated PG-13.

War Dogs

See review this issue. Cinemark 14, Feather River Cinemas and Paradise Cinema 7. Rated R —B.G.

A few small tables, Spanish spoken everywhere, Mexican music in the background, the swamp cooler blasting—you could be in a taqueria in any Mexican town. Mary’s builds the food in front of your eyes, with a cheerful Mexicana dumping giant spoonfuls of ingredients onto the tortilla while you watch in fascination on the other side of the sneeze guard. Perk points for being open Sunday, a rarity in the Catholo-centric taco business. The food is delicious, and Mary’s boasts it’s healthy—a poster says their “tasty and amazing food” is made from scratch and the beans and rice are vegetarian. In fact, Mary’s is the only taco shop that takes vegetarianism seriously, offering its own veggie menu with interesting options. And the regular menu offers unusual items like campechana (seafood cocktail) and mula (a taco/tostada mashup). On the down side, the menu is so absurdly long and complicated that ordering can be daunting. Would there were Tacos Mary Cliff Notes. Even the staff can’t understand it, so when I ordered a basic burrito, I was charged an absurd $8 and spent 10 minutes working with the cashier to figure out where that figure came from. There are many inexpensive items on the menu, however. And my $8 behemoth weighed in at an impressive 660 grams. 1. The best taco truck in Chico is … not in Chico. It’s in Hamilton City. El Patio is a truck, oddly parked in front of a Mexican restaurant called La Perla del

Pacifico (585 Los Robles Ave.) and easily confused with a restaurant down the block also called El Patio. The food is cheap—$3.50 for a 490-gram burrito. The place is a perfect storm of taco truck perks: Spanish newspaper, gran baile posters, sopes, buches (Google it), extraordinary roasted onions and peppers by request, Spanish spoken almost exclusively, a glorious typo in the menu (“tostadadas”—tostadas à la Marcel Duchamp?), gratuitous mural of Mount Rushmore, and ample shade. But the best perk is the nearby La Bamba murals, which cover the outside and inside walls of the adjoining restaurant, murals that illustrate “the history of La Bamba” (the dance). No, I don’t understand it either. The food explodes with flavor, but it’s volcanically hot and outlandishly raw-onion-y, unless you ask it to be otherwise. The counter person won’t ask. I ask for the mildest salsa and for onions on the side. Honorable mentions: Props to Tacos el Pinolero (East Park Ave.) for the best taco truck name. My native Spanish-speaking friends didn’t know what “pinolero” meant. Guesses included “pine nut gatherer,” “popular brand of Mexican flour,” and the correct answer: “Nicaraguan” (love that Internet!). Great food, too. Props to Taqueria La Mexicana (main drag, Highway 99), the shed in Los Molinos from which one person produces, at the speed of tectonic plate shift, great Mexican food, including the best crema and sopes in the area. Finding the place is part of the fun. Props to Aztlan (1645 Park Ave.), which sounds like something from Narnia but is a tiny shop specializing in tortas (most for $5.99), which may be the best bang for your Mexican food buck. One torta easily makes two meals. Tortas come on a bun that is essentially Wonder Bread, and they’re buried in mayonnaise. But if you ask for no mayo, they’re still madly flavorful, and the calories per dollar is matchless. □

IN THE MIX I’m Alone, No You’re Not Joseph AtO Records There’s just no beating the often otherworldly purity of sibling harmonies. And that phenomenon is exemplified by the band of sisters—Allison, Meegan and Natalie Closner—in Portland’s Joseph. Through persistent touring, the trio made a quick rise to recognition for their spot-on braided vocal melodies. Their newest album, I’m Alone, No You’re Not, is a clear reflection of that relentless effort. While the overall sense of the release is more on the folky side, songs like “Blood and Tears” and “White Flag” have an undeniable pop drive. The record has producer Mike Mogis’ (Bright Eyes, M. Ward) signature sounds—distant, howling pedal steel, cavernous vocals—that give a strength and movement to the arrangements, specifically on “Whirlwind.” But the true grandeur of I’m Alone, No You’re Not comes from the pure familial heart of the music; three sisters moving together through harmonies, sometimes as interconnected cogs, and sometimes turning solo for one awe-inspiring note. After all, it’s in the blood … and tears.

The Bangles Omnivore Recordings Most people didn’t get their first glimpse of The Bangles until their hit “Manic Monday” was all over the radio and MTV. That was 1986. By then, the four-piece had already released their 1984 debut and before that were playing bars and clubs around Los Angeles with the likes of The Three O’Clock and The Dream Syndicate as part of the Paisley Underground scene. Before the studio polish, The Bangles were a scrappy power-pop band heavily indebted to The Beatles and Big Star. Ladies and Gentlemen … The Bangles!—originally released in 2014 as a download only—chronicles the band’s output prior to being signed to a major label. The harmonies and jangly guitars on “Getting Out of Hand”—released as a single in 1981 when the band was still The Bangs—and “I’m In Line” are pure British Invasion heaven. This collection, released on CD, shows the band’s songwriting strength for sure, but more importantly, it reaffirms The Bangles’ importance to countless future female rockers.

40 Years of Stony Plain Various artists stony Plain Records Like his last two-CD compilation 10 years ago, which celebrated his 30th year in business, Holger Petersen has again opened his Canadian label’s vaults, releasing this three-CD set commemorating this latest anniversary. What’s new here is the third CD, a selection of 12 rarities and previously unreleased material. Curiously, the story begins with the last track on disc three—Petersen’s very first recording, a pre-Stony Plain 1972 session that featured Chicago harmonica great Walter ‘Shakey” Horton on the moody instrumental “Shakey’s Edmonton Blues.” The label’s focus is on “roots and blues music” and Petersen records a lot of stateside musicians such as guitarist Duke Robillard, who has more than 20 albums out on the label. He gets his licks in here on “Ain’t Gonna Do It,” an outtake from a 2002 session. Other stateside musicians include Maria Muldaur, Eric Bibb, Jay McShann and Rory Block. There are a lot of Canadian musicians here, too; among them singer Ian Tyson, guitarist/ vocalist Colin Linden and blues/rocker Jeff Healey.

ARTS DEVO by Jason Cassidy • jasonc@newsreview.com

usher in the new seAson When school is out, Chico theater is run largely

by the young thespians on the scene, with many youth workshops and productions staged during the summer break. But with September approaching, the adult players are back on the boards at local community theaters, which are launching new seasons alongside the programming at Chico state and Butte College. Here’s a sampling of the early offerings:

aug. 25-28: a Kid Walks into the Bar, Blue Room Theatre. The premiere of an original dark comedy by local playwright and film buff Craig Blamer about a young woman who starts tending bar in Chico and “is quickly schooled by coworkers and regulars.” Four nights only. www.blueroomtheatre.com

aug. 26-sept. 18: Little shop of Horrors, Chico Theater Co. The cornball comedy-horror flick-turned community-theater staple returns to Chico with its bright songs and man-eating plant. www.chicotheatercompany.com

sept. 3-4: The Butcher shop: The annual off-the-wall Labor Day weekend theater festival is back for its 11th installment. Expect the usual food trucks/booths, communal merriment and live-music preshow (a stacked lineup that includes Michelin Embers, Jasuka, Bran Crown, scout, donald Beaman, Lish Bills and Erin Lizardo). And, of course, an original Butcher Shop production (with music by dave the Butcher) about “the rise/assassination/daring medical rescue of a Mysterious Future Foreign Dictator.” Two shows, both free, car-parking $5, biking encouraged, 2500 Estes Road. www.slowtheatre.com

sept. 8-24: The How and The Why, Blue Room: Local acting superstar amanda detmer directs this drama by sarah Treem (House of Cards, The Affair) about a couple of evolutionary biologists from different generations who clash over what it means to be female.

in the local productions of the Irish playwright’s work. This time he’s at the helm in Paradise, directing this tale about a defrocked priest in a haunted early 19th-century country house that “weaves Ireland’s troubled colonial history into a transfixing story about the search for love, the transcendental and the circularity of time.” www.totr.org

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY For the week oF august 25, 2016 ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the coming weeks, I hope you won’t scream curses at the rain, demanding that it stop falling on you. Similarly, I suggest you refrain from punching walls that seem to be hemming you in, and I beg you not to spit into the wind when it’s blowing in your face. Here’s an oracle about how to avoid counterproductive behavior like that: The near future will bring you useful challenges and uncanny blessings if you’re willing to consider the possibility that everything coming your way will, in some sense, be an opportunity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Oh, how I

wish you might receive the grace of being pampered and nurtured and entertained and prayed for. I’d love for you to assemble a throng of no-strings-attached caretakers who would devote themselves to stoking your healing and delight. Maybe they’d sing to you as they gave you a manicure and massaged your feet and paid your bills. Or perhaps they would cook you a gourmet meal and clean your house as they told you stories about how beautiful you are and all the great things you’re going to do in the future. Is it possible to arrange something like that even on a modest scale, Taurus? You’re in a phase of your astrological cycle when you most need this kind of doting attention—and when you have the greatest power to make it happen.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I invite you

to dream about your true home … your sweet, energizing, love-strong home … the home where you can be high and deep, robust and tender, flexible and rigorous … the home where you are the person that you promised yourself you could be. To stimulate and enhance your brainstorms about your true home, experiment with the following activities: Feed your roots … do maintenance work on your power spot … cherish and foster your sources … and refine the magic that makes you feel free. Can you handle one more set of tasks designed to enhance your domestic bliss? Tend to your web of close allies … take care of what takes care of you … and adore the intimate connections that serve as your foundation.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): It’ll be

one of those rapid-fire, adjust-on-the-fly, think-on-your-feet, go-with-your-gut times for you—a head-spinning, endorphingenerating, eye-pleasing, intelligenceboosting phase when you will have opportunities to relinquish your attachments to status quos that don’t serve you. Got all that, Cancerian? There’ll be a lot of stimuli to absorb and integrate—and luckily for you, absorbing and integrating a lot of stimuli will be your specialty. I’m confident of your ability to get the most of upcoming encounters with cute provocations, pleasant agitation and useful unpredictability. One more tip: Be vigilant and amused as you follow the ever-shifting sweet spot.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): At the risk of

asking too much and pushing too hard, my Guerrilla Prayer Warriors have been begging God to send you some major financial mojo. These fierce supplicants have even gone so far as to suggest to the Supreme Being that maybe She could help you win the lottery or find a roll of big bills lying in the gutter or be granted a magic wish by an unexpected benefactor. “Whatever works!” is their mantra. Looking at the astrological omens, I’m not sure that the prayer warriors’ extreme attempts will be effective. But the possibility that they will be is definitely greater than usual. To boost your odds, I suggest you get more organized and better educated about your money matters. Set a clear intention about the changes you’d like to put in motion during the next ten months.

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

experiments: (1) Take a vow that from now on you won’t hide your beauty. (2) Strike a deal with your inner king or inner queen, guaranteeing that this regal part gets regular free expression. (3) Converse with your future self about how the two of you might collaborate to fully unleash the refined potency of your emotional intelligence. (4) In meditations and dreams,

by rob brezsny ask your ancestors how you can more completely access and activate your dormant potentials.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I hope you are

not forlorn, shivery, puzzled or obsessive right now—unless being in such a state will mobilize you to instigate the overdue transformations you have been evading. If that’s the case, I hope you are forlorn, shivery, puzzled and obsessive. Feelings like those may be the perfect fuel—the highoctane motivation that will launch your personal renaissance. I don’t often offer this counsel, Libra, so I advise you to take full advantage: Now is one of the rare times when your so-called negative emotions can catalyze redemption.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): From

what I can tell, your vigor is peaking. In recent weeks, you have been sturdy, hearty, stout and substantial. I expect this surge of strength to intensify in the near future—even as it becomes more fluid and supple. In fact, I expect that your waxing power will teach you new secrets about how to wield your power intelligently. You may break your previous records for compassionate courage and sensitive toughness. Here’s the best news of all: You’re likely to be dynamic about bestowing practical love on the people and animal and things that are important to you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

The odds are higher than usual that you will be offered a boost or promotion in the coming weeks. This development is especially likely to occur in the job you’re doing or the career plans you’ve been pursuing. It could also be a factor at work in your spiritual life. You may discover a new teacher or teaching that could lift you to the next phase of your inner quest. There’s even a chance that you’ll get an upgrade on both fronts. So it’s probably a good time to check on whether you’re harboring any obstacles to success. If you find that you are, destroy those rancid old mental blocks with a bolt of psychic lightning.

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

cosmos seems to be warming up to your charms. The stinginess it displayed toward you for a while is giving way to a more generous approach. To take advantage of this welcome development, you should shed any fear-based beliefs you may have adopted during the recent shrinkage. For instance, it’s possible you’ve begun to entertain the theory that the game of life is rigged against you, or that it is inherently hard to play. Get rid of those ideas. They’re not true, and clinging to them would limit the game of life’s power to bring you new invitations. Open yourself up wherever you have closed down.

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

any of your allies acting like they’ve forgotten their true purpose? If so, you have the power to gently awaken them from their trances and help them refocus. Is it possible you have become a bit too susceptible to the influences of people whose opinions shouldn’t really matter that much to you? If so, now is a good time to correct that aberration. Are you aware of having fallen under the sway of trendy ideas or faddish emotions that are distorting your relationship with your primal sources? If so, you are hereby authorized to free yourself from their hold on you.

Love’s Real estate

Proposition

“My mother simply can’t afford to sell her house,” said Ed Robinson. “The taxes on her new place would be too high for her fixed income.”

“Proposition 60”, read the headline. “is a California tax benefit that results in thousands of dollars of savings if you are over the age of 55.

Ed’s mother, Sheila, had signed a Listing Agreement with me. Sheila was in her 80’s and could barely walk up and down the stairs of the old place, much less maintain the house and grounds. I had already shown her homes and she loved the idea of down-sizing.

“Proposition 60 allows you to transfer your current property’s assessed value into a new replacement property. In other words, you would be able to buy a new property, yet still pay the same property taxes you pay on your current property.

“I know the property is a little much for Mom to take care of,” said Ed, uttering the understatement of all-time. But he was right that Sheila’s taxes would at least quadruple if she sold the old place and bought at the current Real Estate prices. I was drafting up a Listing cancellation and whining about it, when my Real Estate mentor, KDV, handed me a tax pamphlet.

Proposition 60 Requirements: • You or your spouse must be at least 55 years of age. • The original property and new property must be within the same county.

49 Lake Haven Way OrOviLLe

• The new replacement property must be of equal or lessor value than the original property sold.”

Lovely home on 5 beautiful acres with a gated entrance. Home offers 3BR with an additional large bonus room. A nice sized kitchen with lots of amenities. Formal dining, covered patio area. Attached shop/garage with plenty of storage. Plus a hot tub! Property has a wonderful rural feel with beautiful views, yet only minutes to downtown Oroville. Close to Lake Oroville, Feather Falls trail head and right off of Forbestown road. Many recent upgrades. #982

I slapped my forehead and called Sheila Robinson.
