president of the United States—choosing between a racist, sociopathic Republican or a hawkish, baggage-laden Democrat—we probably ought to analyze how we got here. That’s not to say there wasn’t a common-sense choice. Among those who made it onto the general election ballot, and despite the outcome of the election, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was the only one qualified for the job. Her knowledge about issues foreign and domestic is among the many reasons this newspaper endorsed her. We had confidence in her abilities to move the United States in a positive direction, particularly for the poor and middle class. We had confidence that she would not take the nation backward when it comes to the environment, health care, public education and the economy. We had confidence that she would adeptly handle the duties of commander in chief, including safeguarding nuclear launch codes. Thing is, while Clinton was the most qualified candidate for president on Nov. 8, we believe that there are others, including a certain Vermont senator, who would do a better job for Americans. CN&R endorsed Bernie Sanders in the primary because we believe him to be incorruptible, authentic and nonestablishment. As we said in our qualified endorsement of Clinton weeks ago, if CN&R’s editorial board had gotten its way, Sanders would have been on Tuesday’s ballot. What we didn’t count on is a majority of Americans being so set on a nonestablishment candidate that they would vote for Donald Trump, who is so flawed on so many levels and whose forthcoming presidency poses untold consequences. And it seems the Democratic National Committee didn’t count on that, either. Its leadership worked overtime to undermine Sanders and aid the anointed one, Clinton, during the primary, even while there were clear indications that Sanders would fare better against Trump in the general election. That the country chose Trump over Clinton on Tuesday sends a clear message to Washington that Americans are tired of the political elite. This should be a wake-up call for both major parties. High-ranking Democrats must come to terms with their failures to energize the base and pull in independent voters. And upper-echelon Republicans now have to deal with a party leader who has indicated he is willing to take great risks with the nation’s security, economic solvency and standing with the rest of the world. A sociopath is on his way to the White House and we know he will unravel years of progress. Come what may, the DNC and the GOP must own the repercussions. □

The media’s failure When Donald Trump came on the scene as a presidential candidate in the

summer of 2015, CN&R didn’t take him too seriously. That August, we called him a trainwreck and attributed his rise in the polls to the reality-TVobsessed segment of America. But the warning signs were there and we noted his demagoguery. Month after month, emboldened by a dark side of America that he had tapped into, Trump upped his nativist rhetoric. Cable news stations and networks gave Trump unprecedented coverage over the year, helping to propel him within the Republican Party, and newspapers failed to see him as a viable candidate until it was too late. Among the biggest failures were those of rural newspapers, whose timid editors feared the backlash of subscription losses if they disavowed Trump. Clinton was endorsed by newspapers conservative and liberal, but not always in the heartland. Right here in Chico, for instance, the editor of the 9,700-circulation Enterprise-Record chose not to endorse either candidate, and 47.8 percent of Butte County voters chose Trump (42.8 percent voted for Hillary Clinton). That mistake is now a part of local history. □

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

numb It was almost a year ago that I watched in horror the video footage of Donald Trump mocking a physically disabled newspaper reporter. Then came the story this past weekend about a boy with cerebral palsy who was kicked out of a Trump rally after peacefully protesting the treatment of that reporter. Trump called attention to 12-year-old activist J.J. Holmes during an event just three days before the election. Then his supporters turned on the boy—booing him and his family, shouting obscenities at them and pushing his wheelchair. There is no excuse for that behavior. Donald Trump is the worst kind of monster—the kind that preys on the weak. He is a deplorable human being and, as was evidenced during that rally, brings out the worst in those around him. And now, dear readers, he is president-elect of the United States of America. As I write this, literally minutes after Trump gave his victory speech, I am numb. This newspaper has disavowed Trump and his racist and xenophobic rhetoric time and time again over the last 14 months. So, too, have editors of reputable papers throughout the nation. They saw what I saw. A dangerous and vengeful man with no scruples who will do most anything to enrich himself and his ilk. More on this in the coming weeks … For my sanity, I’m looking for the silver linings. One is that newspaper reporters told J.J. Holmes’ story and he got to meet President Obama. Another is the outcome of the crowded Chico City Council race. Voters chose from a total of 11 candidates, eight of whom were split evenly into conservative and liberal slates. All things considered, it’s impressive that three of the four open seats will remain in the progressive camp. No surprise that Vice Mayor Sean Morgan retains his seat. The conservative incumbent had raised upward of $60,000 as of the last deadline to submit campaign finance reports. Additionally, he had the backing of multiple political action committees. He took the top spot—barely. Councilmembers Ann Schwab and Randall Stone followed him. What is surprising and disappointing, if unofficial results hold once the provisional ballots are counted, is that one of the most competent and engaged members of the panel, Tami Ritter, lost her seat. The consolation is that she was bumped by Karl Ory, a former Chico mayor who not only has a lot of experience but also a lot passion (see page 10 for more on the council race). Measure L, local commercialization of medical cannabis, went down in flames (see more on page 9). However, Californians passed Proposition 64, which legalizes the herb for recreational use. Local officials will have to reconcile the outcome of that vote in the near future, especially given that a majority of Butte County voters favored legalization. Voters overwhelmingly supported the two local education facilities bonds, Measures J and K, which will pay for upgraded and new facilities at Butte College and Chico Unified School District. The community college bond will allow the expansion of impacted programs and pay for a veterans center. CUSD will be able to replace dilapidated structures at elementary schools, including the old portables that are literally falling apart. In other words, it’s not all doom and gloom.

Hit the bull’s-eye Re “Fluffer in chief” (Arts Devo, by Jason Cassidy, Oct. 20): For months I’ve searched for the language to convey the exact sentiments expressed recently by Jason Cassidy. This analysis of the current presidential marathon is suggested reading for all registered voters. Therein lies the exact bull’s-eye I’ve aimed toward but failed to hit as brilliantly and truthfully as Cassidy has. This rates among the dozen most gripping articles in America this year—several others coming from the CN&R staff as well. Kenneth B. Keith Los Molinos

‘Make every vote count’ Although it doesn’t happen very often that the popular vote and the Electoral College do not agree, it does happen as it did in 2000, when Al Gore won the popular vote by 540,000 votes but lost the electoral vote. We will never know what would have happened if Gore had become president, but I can say that those eight years weren’t as good as we had hoped. If the Electoral College ended in a tie, the House of Representatives would pick the new president. And yes, it has happened. With all of the bickering in the House, how many voters have that much confidence in them to make the correct choice? Isn’t it time to do away with the Electoral College and let the voters decide who they want to be the next president and vice president? For the people and by the people. And to top it off, the voters on the West Coast won’t have to hear who won hours before their polls close and their votes can make a difference. Make every vote count and get rid of the Electoral College.

LETTERS c o n t i n u e d f r o m pa g e 5 the story of planet Zircon. A sickness runs deep in the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton is the poster child of this culture. The assertion of party insiders, that a candidate could win on a record of antipopulism, war mongering and toxic political machinations, was hubris indeed. Operatives and voters in the neoliberal wing of the Democratic Party scoffed at the candidacy of Bernie Sanders, never getting it that Sanders represented the soul of progressive politics. DNC arrogance cost dearly; Sanders would have won this election. The work ahead is to go to the America where mortality rates are approaching third world levels. Places where the wounds are visible to anyone willing to see. To leave behind the neoliberals of the corporate lap dance; those who made Bernie Sanders irrelevant and limousine liberalism the scourge of America.

I’ve lived in Chico all my life; attended Shasta Union, Bidwell Junior, Chico High, Butte College and Chico State. The Esplanade is still fine. It works quite well. Drive around 26 mph and you hit most every green light. Cross traffic is fine. The roundabouts would have had traffic backed up and more accidents, so thank you for not making that happen. Why don’t we invest the money in repairing our horrible roads around Chico. I travel quite a bit and our roads are falling apart. Do we need bike lanes on The Esplanade? It has one-way frontage roads on both sides going north and south. Repair the roads. That’s my two cents.

a broken home: Broadway and Main streets. The alcohol continued until she became out of control, much like Lombard Street in San Francisco. This is where I came in. Because of the old DeLorean and spare plutonium my uncle had in the shed, Doc asked me to spearhead a time-travel mission. I went back in time to perform a variety of street therapy sessions on The Esplanade. But nothing was working. She was in deep denial. It seemed that only a scared-straight approach would have a chance. Yeah, that’s right: skid row. But she got it together after she saw what that was like. And of course, I came back to the future. But I want it known that it was I, well, and Doc, who truly saved The Esplanade. You are welcome, Chico. Jeff Straub Chico

Thanks, voters The League of Women Voters has proudly completed our work this election season. We hosted 17 candidate forums and 13 proposition pro-and-con programs throughout Butte County. Additionally, we managed the Voter’s Edge website, which provided in-depth information about candidates and propositions. It has certainly been an easy

election year to become dispirited. Yet, LWV members who had the good fortune to meet local candidates found them to be committed to our community and knowledgeable about local issues. Many voters were willing to study and listen to our information even though League members do not support or oppose candidates or political parties. We are grateful for the ongoing support of the local press. Their information about the forums and our work was essential. Numerous community venues welcomed the LWV events. We thank Chico Unified School District, Gridley Unified School District, Paradise Town Council, Durham Recreation and Park District, Oroville Southside Community Improvement Association and the city of Oroville for helping us host our election programs. We are grateful to LWV members and everyone who attends our annual winetasting benefit because it helps us earn the income to finance our voter education programs. Thank you to all who attended.

More on The Esplanade With all the campaign mailers that have been distributed throughout Chico, there have been local claims that have been exaggerated or are not at all true. Please allow me to clear the air. Back in the early part of the 1900s, Shasta Way (you know her as The Esplanade) had a bit of an absinthe drinking problem. This may have been unavoidable, given she came from

NEWSLINES DOWNSTROKE SENTENCED FOR CHILD PORN

A Chico man was sentenced to 17 1/2 years in prison on Friday (Nov. 4) for receipt of child pornography. Agents served a search warrant at Frank Coon’s apartment in March 2012 and found him at the keyboard of his computer, according to a press release from the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California. His computer contained 117 videos of child pornography, some of it graphic and violent. At sentencing, U.S. District Judge Garland Burrell stated that Coon had committed perjury when he testified during his threeday trail in May. Burrell handed down such a lengthy sentence in part because Coon, 52, blamed other people for his actions. He will be supervised for 20 years after his release and must register as a sex offender.

After voting Tuesday, Saira Siddiqui and Hajra Masood sign a petition for the referendum effort to move Chico Scrap Metal.

SCHOOLS WIN BIG

Schools scored victories at the city, county and state levels on Tuesday (Nov. 8), as a majority of voters cast their ballots in favor of bond measures to fund education facilities. Nearly 69 percent of Chico residents voted to approve Measure K, a $152 million bond measure aimed at improvements at Chico Unified School District schools. Meanwhile, about 66 percent of Butte and Glenn County voters approved Measure J, a $190 million bond measure to pay for construction of a veterans center and improve facilities that would open up impacted programs at Butte College. At the state level, 54 percent of voters (50 percent in Butte County) approved Proposition 51, the California Public School Facility Bonds Initiative, which will provide $9 billion in funding for improvement and construction of K-12 schools and junior colleges statewide.

TEETER TOPS

Capping a sweep for incumbents on the Butte County Board of Supervisors, Doug Teeter won his runoff with Maurice “Big Mo” Huffman to retain the seat representing District 5. Teeter (pictured), who secured his first term in a 2012 runoff, won by a margin of 59.2 percent to 40.6 percent on Tuesday (Nov. 8) for the district on and around the Ridge. He’ll continue to serve with Bill Connelly and Steve Lambert—both reelected in June—as well as Maureen Kirk and Larry Wahl, whose seats will be up for grabs in 2018. “This really confirms some of the decisions I made that were tough,” Teeter said by phone, “and it was nice to get about the same amount of votes that I did in 2012.” 8

hood’s voting location, the Chico branch of the Butte County Library. Though eager to cast her ballot for this year’s contentious genstory and eral election, her focus photos by that morning was on the Ken Smith November 2018 election. kens @ Galena was one of n ew srev i ew. c o m several volunteers who had signed on to launch a petition drive aimed at gathering the roughly 8,000 signatures necessary to put the fate of Chico Scrap Metal (CSM) into the hands of Chico voters via referendum. The effort is organized by environmentalist group Move the Junkyard and comes on the heels of an Oct. 18 decision by the Chico City Council to allow the recycling business to stay at its East 20th Street location. The move comes near the end of a particularly eventful year in the decade-plus CSM saga. Zoning changes enacted by the Chapman-Mulberry Neighborhood Plan made the business out of compliance with the neighborhood, and the council ordered it to move in 2006. The business received a series of extensions through December

2014, and in January 2015 a newly elected conservative-majority council voted to explore a compromise to allow the business to stay put. The council approved a plan in CSM’s favor earlier this year with a 4-to-3 vote split down party lines, but a mistake by city staff in the plan’s wording led to another round of deliberation before last month’s decision. “There’s a strong tradition in Chico of initiatives and referendums, and I think we need to put more issues in front of local voters to get a real sense of things,” said Move the Junkyard spokesman Karl Ory. He believes last month’s council decision to approve CSM’s permanency was pushed through by the conservative majority in case Tuesday’s election resulted in a shift of power to progressives. Ory said that a successful petition drive could trigger a special election, but that the group agreed the most prudent approach would be to shoot for 2018’s November election. Tuesday was a busy one for Ory; in addi-

tion to being Move the Junkyard’s primary organizer, it also was the day of reckoning for his own council bid (see page 10). Ellen Galena collects signatures on Election Day.

Move the Junkyard was preparing to launch a referendum effort back in May, but aborted plans when the mistake in the ordinance was discovered. “We decided to do this four days ago, and I just dropped off the petitions at the printer,” Ory said by phone on Monday. His plan then was to distribute materials to

volunteers that night and Tuesday morning before a 7:15 a.m. radio appearance promoting the petition drive on KZFR 90.1 FM. Then he’d continue campaigning—for himself and the referendum effort—throughout the day. “The one silver lining of the timing is that others have had positive experiences collecting a large number of valid signatures from registered voters by petitioning at polling places,” he said. “It gets difficult this time of year, with depleted funds, exhausted campaigners and possible sloggy weather. We have until Nov. 30 to collect the signatures, but I think we need to wrap it up before Thanksgiving, which is a really short period of time.” At the library on Election Day, volunteer

Galena set up a table on the sidewalk before 8 a.m. She said volunteers were briefed about maintaining the legal, 100-foot distance from the polling place. Butte County election officials had measured the distance that morning to ensure she was in compliance. Galena said she was asking for signatures only from people who approached her, and only after they’d voted or finished their library business. “My daughter went to Chapman Elementary as part of the Spanish immersion program, so I’ve been following the issue since [CSM] was first supposed to move,” Galena said of her reason for volunteering. “I believe that it should move as was written in the neighborhood plan, so I’m here to support getting it on the 2018 ballot.” By 9 a.m., Galena said she’d already gathered about 50 signatures and that most people she’d spoken to were familiar with the issue, and many expressed strong opinions: “There’s been a handful of people who’ve said they want it moved, and a handful that really don’t think it should,” she said. Just then, a woman approached with questions about the deep history of the issue, some of which Galena couldn’t answer. The woman criticized Galena and a man signing the petition, to which the man responded his only opinion on the matter was that the issue should be put to voters. “You should be ashamed of yourselves,” the woman said as she left. Ory said that Move the Junkyard volunteers will be collecting more signatures at the Chico Certifed Farmers’ Market on Saturdays.

to six plants apiece—and before too long will be able to purchase it at dispensaries, too. Proposition 64, approved by 56 percent of Californians—and 52 percent of Butte County voters—legalizes recreational marijuana. But local voters weren’t so stoked on Measure L. That initiative, brought forth by the Inland Cannabis Farmers’ Association, called for the commercialization of medical marijuana. To Jessica MacKenzie, who heads that group, the result was surprising. “In Butte County, over 50 percent of the population voted in favor of Proposition 64. So, why did 60 perBy the numbers: cent vote In Butte County, as of press time, Proposition 64 passed with 51.9 percent against L?” of the vote.

The only explanation I can think of is that the fear-mongering worked.” By “fear-mongering,” MacKenzie was referring to glossy mailers that she says mis-

represented Measure L. They said, among other things, that the initiative would cause more gang activity, would lead to a proliferation of pot shops and would allow for the degradation of the environment. None of those things are true, MacKenzie charges, and some were even mentioned during a public meeting of the Board of Supervisors, which came out against Measure L. “They said there were going to be dispensaries on every corner, and growing everywhere. And county staff never bothered to correct those errors [in the public eye],” she said. “I always thought we were at risk for being negatively affected by that.” Measure L, which would have allowed for

dispensaries, manufacturing and commercial growing of medical cannabis, isn’t a complete loss, however. ICFA will continue to advocate for patients and growers and hopes

the county will come together with the association and others to create an ordinance that allows dispensaries in Butte County, she said. “Right now, there’s no way our farmers can come out and be legitimate. There’s no path to licensing,” she said. “Which means there’s no way for them to stand apart from the cartels and rogue grows and folks who don’t want to play by the rules.” Prop. 64 is a game-changer, however, and MacKenzie is interested to see how it plays out in Butte County. She worries that without a regulatory structure for selling medical cannabis, the local landscape will take a turn for the worse. Without dispensaries, she argues, and with the newfound ability of every adult (21 and older) to grow up to six plants, there will be lots of little grows with no supervision instead of fewer, larger gardens governed by licensing rules. “But, I didn’t think Trump was going to be elected, so what do I know?” she quipped. Butte County District Attorney Mike Ramsey has come out as opposed to dispensaries, both medical and recreational. MacKenzie hopes that local voters’ approval of Prop. 64 will encourage further dialogue, however. “We know more every day,” she said. “More counties are doing things—some well, some not so well. We’ll continue to propose paths toward what we think are sensible solutions.” —MEREDITH J. COOPER me r e d i th c @ newsr ev iew.c o m

The national results soured what should have been a celebration, at least for the three progressive candidates who likely won seats on the Chico City Council—incumbents Ann Schwab and Randall Stone and former Mayor Karl Ory. The odd progressive candidate out was Councilwoman Tami Ritter. “It’s challenging not to have held on to my seat,” Ritter said by phone on Wednesday (Nov. 9). “The silver lining here is that Karl Ory took that seat, and I have all the confidence that Ory is going to be a wonderful council member. I don’t have any concerns there. “The outcome of the national election is what’s really throwing me for a loop.” Another candidate with a bitter pill to swallow was Reed, the Democratic challenger for LaMalfa’s District 1 seat in Congress. Throughout the night, he closely watched incoming results on his laptop and saw the writing on the wall early on. “The campaign felt good,” he said. “I was counting on the Trump effect; if he got trounced, that would mean Republicans weren’t showing up to vote. It doesn’t look like that’s happening.” As the gathering thinned out, the few people who remained were slouched over their drinks, watching, seemingly shell-shocked, as Trump took the White House.

Mandly is an associate planner for the Butte County Air Quality Management District, a local regulatory agency mandated to protect public health. As of Nov. 1, the district’s Check Before You Light program is in effect. It asks people to voluntarily refrain from using wood stoves on days when the levels of fine particulate matter—the stuff that reduces visibility and makes the air appear hazy—exceed standards outlined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. On advisory days, the county encourages people to reduce their exposure by avoiding heavy outdoor exercise. Residents should

also mind their neighbors when there’s a lot of smoke in the air, said Bob McLaughlin, the county’s assistant air pollution control officer. “People can choose not to burn,” he said, “or change their burning practices to reduce emissions and contributions to ambient levels of [fine particulate matter].” When the air quality index (AQI) exceeds 100, the air is considered unhealthy for sensitive groups—people with respiratory conditions, children and the elderly. An AQI value under 50 represents good air quality with little potential to affect health, while an AQI value over 300 represents hazardous air quality, according to the EPA. “These are particles that are so small, they can get past your body’s natural defenses and penetrate deep into the lungs,” Mandly said.

Reduce smoke:

• Use only dry, well-seasoned wood, which is darker, has cracked grain and weighs less. • Keep your chimney swept and ash bin clean. • Stack wood loosely in your firebox so air circulates around it. • Don’t let your fire smolder—keep it active or put it out.

Butte County started posting health

advisories on wood smoke in 2006. Over the last decade, the Air Quality Management District has recorded an encouraging downward trend in levels of fine particulate matter. Last winter, for the first time, Butte County didn’t exceed federal standards on a single day and the district didn’t issue any advisories for wood smoke. The especially rainy El Niño season played a role, Mandly said. “The months of December and January usually are the peak time of year, when we have those still, cold nights,” he said. “But last year, we had storms all throughout those months.” Another factor may be the district’s popular wood stove replacement program, through which residents traded in old, inefficient wood stoves for new ones. From 2013 to 2015, the program partially paid for 450 clean-burning, EPAcertified wood, gas or pellet stoves, but it ran out of funding last year. The county currently is exploring grants to resume it. “If you operate one of the new stoves correctly, you shouldn’t see any smoke come out of the top,”

For air-quality advisories, visit the butte County Air Quality management District’s website at www.bcaqmd.org or call 3329409.

Mandly said. Check Before You Light also has worked in terms of reducing emissions, specifically on advisory days. When the county calls an advisory, residents cut back on burning enough to reduce emissions of fine particulate matter by an average of about 23 percent, Mandly said. “We have to express our appreciation to the public for stepping up to the plate and doing what they can to protect air quality and to be good neighbors,” McLaughlin. The advisory program will remain in effect until Feb. 28. That’s around when the district usually sees an improvement in local air quality. “Some people just use their wood stoves for holiday ambiance,” Mandly said. □

Researchers with the University of British Columbia gave 128 adults $40 a week for three weeks, then told one group to spend it on themselves and another group to spend it on other people. Among participants diagnosed with high blood pressure, spending on others reduced blood pressure significantly over the course of the study, author Ashley Whillans wrote in The Washington Post. “Critically, the magnitude of these effects was comparable to the benefits of interventions, such as antihypertensive medication and exercise.” Whillans also notes that past research has linked other forms of helping others to improved physical health.

big money flows in Grants to fund projects protecting fish, water along Butte Creek and the Feather River by

Meredith J. Cooper mere d i thc @ n ewsr ev i ew. com

StionsNorthern California’s salmon populahave plummeted. Two new projects in

ince the drought struck several years ago,

Butte County—one on Butte Creek and the other on the Feather River—aim to protect those salmon and recently got the green light by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The grants, part of Proposition 1 approved by voters in 2014, total up to $2.75 million. The first, smaller, grant was awarded to the Family Water Alliance for a fish screen along Butte Creek. The second is upward of $1.6 million and calls for elimination of invasive species along the Feather River just downstream of Lake Oroville as well as reintroduction of native floodplains in order to benefit salmonid populations. Both projects are important to the overall health of California’s watersheds and the protection of native species, explained Matt Wells, policy and administration manager for the CDFW’s Watershed Restoration Grants Branch. “Our portion of Prop. 1 covers anything we can do to restore watersheds and habitat to not only benefit what we focus on—the habitat for fish and wildlife—but also increase efficiency for water flow and storage,” he said. Other portions of the proposition cover drought preparedness, groundwater sustainability and flood management, among other water issues. When Prop. 1—aka the Water Quality, Supply and Infrastructure Improvement Act of 2014—was passed, the CDFW first developed the application and award process and then opened up for proposals last summer. They were immediately overwhelmed,

CN&R

receiving 190 proposals for more than $200 million in funding. They awarded about $31 million to 24 projects, but recognized that “clearly there was an unmet need,” Wells said. So, they secured another $20 million, which allowed them to approve five additional projects—including those on Butte Creek and the Feather River. The wild chinook salmon is well-known in

California’s Central Valley, including Butte Creek, where it enjoys its largest spring run. While the species used to live in abundance in the region—swimming upriver to spawn in the fall and then to the Pacific Ocean in the spring—its populations have dwindled to the point that it’s now considered threatened. One of the obstacles these salmon face is, quite simply, staying in the creek. Diversions, like one located on the Butte Creek Canyon Ecological Reserve that serves nearby farmers, sometimes divert more than water. “This one on Butte Creek is not a huge diversion—it’s relatively small—but it’s known to be an entrapment spot for 10,000plus juvenile chinook salmon,” Wells explained. That number is not the annual entrapment rate, he elaborated, but rather a number gathered over several years of monitoring. But it was significant enough to place that particular diversion on a state list of priorities for building a fish screen, helping it to get the Prop. 1 funding. “It has potential to make a big impact,” Wells said of the project. Fish screens are aptly named, as they function exactly how one might expect— they screen out fish. When the creek is

pumped for agricultural use, a screen would keep the fish on their path instead of allowing them to be sent off-course by the diversion. “Screen projects are a huge priority for the department, and for state and federal regulators,” Wells said. “Everyone agrees that this work needs to be done, so there’s pressure to fund these projects.” One of the reasons Family Water Alliance decided to work on this project is its potential to help both farmers and the environment. “Family Water Alliance is very much about keeping agricultural communities whole,” said Debbi Lemburg, project manager for the organization’s Sacramento Valley Fish Screen Program. “By putting in a screen, they can continue to pump water while protecting the species. We want the salmon industry to come back and be as successful as it has been.” The Butte Creek project is in the permitting phase, Lemburg explained. The CDFW awarded Family Water Alliance—headquartered in Maxwell—up to $150,000, primarily to go through the California Environmental Quality Act and National Environmental Policy Act permitting processes. Once the project has all the permits necessary, she added, they’ll be able to go back to the CDFW and submit a second proposal for grant funding to cover the costs of “implementation,” or construction of the screen. The Lake Oroville project is in the implementation phase already, Wells explained. It also came to the table with some matching funds, which made the $1.6 million grant

easier to approve. The project calls for improving the connectivity of the Feather River to its historic floodplain, which would increase the historic habitat for salmonids while reducing flooding in the channel. That’s exactly the kind of project the CDFW is looking to fund. “This one definitely outlines a plan to restore species and habitat and create a more resilient water resources system that can better survive whatever happens in the future,” Wells said. □

blast from toys past When Mike and Paula Pembroke decided to open a vintage toy store in a quaint, suburban Chico neighborhood, they envisioned a shop that carries toys with a purpose and meaning, ones that remind them of their childhood days. Mike recently retired from Cal Water Co., where he worked as a regional manager for 40 years. And he had long dreamed of opening a novelty toy store with his wife, who is part owner of a nearby hair salon. Their brainchild came to fruition Oct. 1, when the doors to Creekside Variety Toys and Gifts opened to reveal specialty vintage toys including spinning tin tops, wooden toys, prehistoric dinosaur collectible figurines, vintage Hot Wheels, the original and newer Slinky and Magic 8 Balls, stop watches designed by artists, eclectic games, select dolls, quality stuffed animals, learning toys, puzzles, gag gifts and more. If creating an old-time toy shop was their goal, they’ve certainly succeeded, as walking through the store is like venturing into yesteryear. Visit Creekside Variety at 1388 Longfellow Ave., Ste. 4, or find it on Facebook. It’s currently open only on weekday afternoons, but check ahead for expanded holiday hours. Mike recently took some time to discuss the store with the CN&R.

I have long held a special place in my heart for military veterans. From a young age, I can remember my father speaking with pride about enlisting in the Air Force during the Vietnam War. While he never saw combat, he was ready and willing to go. Both of my grandfathers served in the Navy during World War II, and I had a unique opportunity several years ago to interview my late great-uncle about his time in the Army during that war, when he was stationed in China and served as an encoder. These days, veterans are even nearer and dearer to me. My boyfriend, Chuck, fought in Afghanistan, and I have many friends who have served—during peacetime and in combat. I admire their courage and, in honor of Veterans Day, I thank them for their service. From the bottom of my heart.

These are toys that Kmart and Toys R Us don’t have. I looked for toys that reminded me of when I was growing up.

Do you incorporate any skills from your past into the present?

Do you remember your favorite childhood toy?

How did you come up with this concept?

Yes—managing, budgeting monies and talking to customers.

Who are your customers? Moms, grandparents and adults buying for themselves. A woman came in and bought one of those for herself (he points to a selfpainting kit complete with a paintable turtle and paint set).

What toys are most popular? I’m bringing back “STEM” toys—for science, technology,

Oh, yes. I remember playing with these metal cars [points to display case filled with small vintage cars and trucks].

Are you going to expand or get more stock for Christmas? Yes. The orders are coming in. I want family-style board games. Growing a business is a learning process. It’s a challenge to figure out what to buy, picking merchandise and inventory. —JORDOnnA LOBeSe

that support veterans. I’ll name a bunch of them later. For now, I want to highlight one: Lucero Olive Oil. Last year, the Corning-based company decided to partner with the Farmer Veteran Coalition, a national nonprofit whose goal is to provide farming jobs for veterans, particularly those in rural communities like ours. As part of its Future for Others program, Lucero is donating $5 for every large bottle of Five Star extra virgin olive oil sold during the month of November to the Farmer Veteran Coalition. Last year, the company donated nearly $1,500 to the organization, through drives in May (honoring Memorial Day) and November (Veterans Day). What’s more, the tasting room (2120 Loleta Ave., Corning) offers a 20 percent discount for all active-duty and veteran service members—every day.

Showing their thankS As I mentioned above, many local businesses care about America’s veterans. And many of them show that thanks, either through regular discounts or single events. For Veterans Day, here are a few local businesses offering their gratitude for service: • Gold Country Casino: On Nov. 11, veterans can go to the casino and chow down for free. That’s right, Gold Country is offering a free buffet lunch (11 a.m.-3p.m.) or dinner (4-9 p.m.) for all vets. • Free eats: A variety of national chains offer freebies, from appetizers to full meals, on Veterans Day—and sometimes a day before or after as well—to active and former military. Here’s a sampling: Applebee’s, Buffalo Wild Wings, Chili’s, Denny’s, IHOP, Krispy Kreme, Logan’s Roadhouse, Olive Garden, Outback Steakhouse, Panera, Red Lobster and Starbucks. • Other cool stuff: Get a free haircut at Great Clips. Visit the Gateway Science Museum and any national park for free. Also receive discounts at stores like Bed, Bath & Beyond, Home Depot, JC Penney, Lowe’s and OSH. • For those of us who are not military, we can still participate by supporting businesses that support our military. For instance, Baskin-Robbins donates 11 cents for every scoop sold on Nov. 11 to the USO.

Adult winners

Flash fiction Readers tell their stories in 59 words

Write, count, repeat ...

Marjorie Okie

or those who don’t know, Fiction 59 is not the only name in the brevity-inwriting game. There’s dribble (50-word stories), drabble (100-word stories), Twitterature (stories and poems of 140 characters or less), even seven- and six-word stories. For our annual Fiction 59 contest, the only number the Chico News & Review is concerned with is 59. And even though it seems that a few people put too much trust in their digital wordcounters (not the best choice here), many of our community of flash-fiction writers were on count and on point with putting the gimmick to good use in creating engaging, sometimes mysterious, stories. Actually, it should be noted that this was a down year for Fiction 59 submissions. We still received many great stories by local writers, but the younger categories were noticeably underrepresented. In fact, in the Junior High and Kids divisions, the only entries we received came from one family, so the judges chose a few spotlight pieces instead of winners for those two age groups (see “Kids in the spotlight,” page 23). Whatever the reason for the shortfall, we’ll certainly be more diligent on getting the word out to local schools for future writing contests. For now, enjoy the mini stories that our judges on the 1078 Gallery Literary Committee chose, and come out to The Bookstore on Friday for the live reading.

SECOND PLACE FIRST PLACE This Is the Way You Start Over First, she poured the gasoline on that lovely floral couch she had never liked. After that it somehow seemed easier and she began spilling it enthusiastically about her house. Then she lit the match and tossed it. There was a satisfying pop and then sprang the flames. She opened the door. The night was crisp and cold. She smiled.

Magalia

Marjorie Okie used to write poetry, but that was 30 years ago. A recently retired drug and alcohol counselor for a women’s correctional facility, Okie joined a writing class at The Hub wellness and recovery center in Paradise, where the instructor challenged students to submit entries for the Fiction 59 contest. “Well, now it’s a throwdown, so I have to do it,” was Okie’s response, and did she ever throw down. Not only did she take first place, she also had two entries receive honorable mentions. “It’s just like a renaissance for me,” she said.

Emiliano Garcia-Sarnoff

Seeing Himself Seeing Himself Seeing Himself Seeing Hims— He could see himself pretending to think in the reflection of the plate glass. One skinnyjeaned leg over the other; bittenapple aglow, set against the hegemonic aesthetic: exposed brick, reclaimed wood. A plan to write. But a fear of being mediocre, mocked, unworthy. So: he employed an ironic, metanarration. Cowardly. Then he said it was cowardly. Emiliano Garcia-Sarnoff

Chico

The words of local writer and father of two Emiliano Garcia-Sarnoff have graced the pages of local newspapers many times over the past several years, with his reviews, features and general musings having been published in the now-defunct Synthesis magazine as well as the arts section of the CN&R. His fiction has been featured in these pages before as well, having been chosen for honorable mention a handful of times and taken first place in 2013. Lately, he’s been volunteering at Butte County Juvenile Hall’s Table Mountain School, working with the writing students who entered this year’s contest (see page 18).

HONORABLE MENTIONS Hot for teacher

Crane Fly Season My friend died in crane fly season. We would get drunk on the porch and pee on the oak in my yard. I made him an altar with a tiny typewriter, hot water and whiskey. But he died anyway. Now he lives in the oak and sits with me on the porch. My friend died in crane fly season.

Close Encounters

THIRD PLACE A Man Walked Into a Bar He sat at the dark end of the bar, his private sanctuary. Several empties in front of him, he was tormented by three recurring thoughts. He named them: 1, 2, 3. He worried them like a dog would a bone. He repeated them like prayers on rosary beads. Last call. He staggered out, three shadows stepping on his heels.

Karen Aikin

Chico

Chico marriage and family therapist/registered nurse Karen Aikin has been entering the CN&R’s Fiction 59 contest for several years, and this is the second time she’s taken home third place. Her favorite kind of writing is the short story form, and she says that the “short short stories” she does for this contest are especially fun.“I look at [it] as sort of a word doodle.”

Polka dot dress swings. I know he is watching. My shoe strap is almost worn through. He sits on the grass shading his eyes, the giant magnet in my core pulling us. My lips want to talk, to touch. The strap is almost broken free. I’m hopeful, but I don’t know why. Damn, I should have worn different shoes! T.H. Miller

Chico

On the slithering Andean trail, an Aymaran woman rests, shaded by a coffee tree. We smile; in broken Spanish she recounts, “I’ve been bitten by a serpent,” as she peels a sheet of skin from her forearm. Back in town, the doctor assures me she was likely sunburned. But he hadn’t seen her, and he is wearing snakeskin boots. Danielle Lang

Oroville

Perfect Shot Frozen morning, the sky dotted with snowflakes. She tugged on her red cap, pulling it lower over her ears. Her boots crunched in the snow. Breath blew clouds ahead of her. She scanned the woods, hands tightening on metal. The buck stood before her, crowned head raised high. Her hands lifted. The shutter clicked. Leaping buck disappears into whiteness. Marjorie Okie

Had a Dream ... I sat on the curb of East Second and Wall. I was homeless—with a gimpy sore leg and a mangy pit bull mix. The love I felt for her was immense. The Saturday morning market goers looked at me with what felt like contempt; some of them looked at me as if they were looking in the mirror.

Leonard Rush Chico

Hutch Hutch was a little different. He had a job and sometimes he abstained from drinking. He came to Happy Hour anyway, just to be a pain. He hesitated, then said, “Gimme a water.” Next round he said, “Water—no, wait. Double margarita. TWO double margaritas!” He finally staggered out and rode away on his motorcycle. You know the rest.

Domestic Incident My hand stirs tea. The spoon clinks against porcelain. He is raising his voice again, pacing like a panther about the kitchen. He stops before me. Leaning close, he yells, “This is all your fault!” His breath hot and sour. I raise my eyes; his burn like lava. His hands clench into fists. And in that moment, I knew.

Marjorie Okie

Death of a Serial Killer Her focus took control, steadying death yielding skills. The rat was held up in an abandoned building across the freeway. Stealth her friend, patience her partner, weighted down her victim’s odds. Advancer in lanes waiting on a single flying light. The winking pickup lunged left. Panic! Steel smashing bone. Weeks later, an homage on Facebook: “I miss my cat.” Roger Jolliff Chico

Ironically Tortured Darry knelt before the crucifix. Filled with guilt, begging for forgiveness. An hour later he’s shooting dice. Darry’s up. This is unusual. Shake after shake, roll after roll. He keeps finding more money in his pockets. Drinks flowing, women teasing, smoke floating. Darry leaves thinking of how much he will put in the offering next week. Ironically tortured circumstances.

High school winners

Juvenile hall students take the prizes hoNoRable meNtioNs

very time the CN&R opens up submissions for its two writing contests—Fiction 59 and Poetry 99—the newsE paper receives a stack of entries from the students of Scott

Bailey, education specialist at Table Mountain School inside Butte County Juvenile Hall. And each time, at least one story or poem by the school’s young writers (the names of whom are concealed to protect their identities) is selected for publication. This year, all the winners and honorable mentions in the high school category of Fiction 59 are from Table Mountain, so the CN&R asked Bailey to share a few words about the program: The Writing Exchange is an anonymous exchange of writing between adjudicated youth residing in various juvenile hall facilities. In 2006, it started as a writing program between two Butte County Office of Education community day programs and soon became a program utilized by Table Mountain School inside Butte County Juvenile Hall. Lassen, Placer, Fresno, Siskiyou and Butte County juvenile halls all participate in the program. Students are given topics to write about and asked to put their stories on paper. They most often write intense first-person depictions of homelessness, abuse, addiction, loss and heartbreak. The program allows them to vent about and even purge some of the incredible difficulties they have faced. Student writing and artwork from each facility are printed for students to read and posted on a blog at www.writeyourtruth.blogspot.com. Students share their stories, read them out loud, analyze the writing and connect with one another. Writing fiction is something the youth are now excited about and is a nice deviation from the normal routine of the program.

one thousand six hundred and Ninety days It had been three years since Shane and his mother had spoken. In county’s juvenile hall they talked over the merciless blue phone. She told her son she was in a rehab and doing well. She had made plans for Shane and her to get clean and start their lives over again. Shane had no room for that whatsoever.

Kids in the spotlight Favorite Fiction 59 stories from the Bailey kids F

or the past few years, if the CN&R was having a writing contest, readers could be certain to read at least one piece by a member of the Bailey family. Whether Fiction 59 or Poetry 99, the Bailey boys—Colin (13) and Cedar (11)—regularly place in the top three, and dad Scott and 6-year-old sister Clover (who loves horses and bunnies) have been chosen as honorable mentions. Even mom Jill has submitted a piece. The well-balanced kids enjoy reading and writing as much as they do the great outdoors— skateboarding for the boys, horseback riding for Clover. They got their start writing for the contests as part of class projects at Sherwood Montessori (Colin now attends Chico Junior High). Since this was an odd year for Kid and Junior High entries for Fiction 59 (the Bailey kids were the only youngsters who submitted stories), the CN&R decided to simply showcase the judges’ favorite submission from each one.

Back Talk Tired anxious energy spits through an angry tongue. Clenched teeth hiss with unanticipated sarcasm. The lie, “I hate you,” dies before it leaves his lips; retaliation never worked with her. He bit down bitterly on his pride. “I’m sorry …” inaudible sounds mumble from his suppressed outrage. Tears roll down her flushed cheeks, though from anger or embarrassment neither knew. Colin Bailey

Toothless stressed GPs Oliver and Andrew were best friends. They made a wrong turn on Vallombrosa Avenue. The GPS was rerouting when Andrew’s phone started to vibrate as if steam was coming out its ears. She started to disfunction and snorted “I’m lost,” “Are we there yet?” “Nice driving guys,” and “What, are we going to Guadalajara?” Illegally, Oliver made a U-turn.

Ruby had two front teeth that were really loose. One had been loose for five weeks. She turned her head really fast and hit her brother’s shoulder. They both came out. The Tooth Fairy brought four dollars. The next night Ruby wrote, “Please give me my teeth back,” and she put the money under her pillow. She saved them. Clover Bailey

But the seeming randomness of the layout is perhaps a reflection of Sollars’ stated intention of achieving a “reclamation of pub-

lic spaces … [by] juxtaposing dissimilar elements, objects and materials [in order to] explore absurdist opportunities in the public realm to generate unexpected outcomes.” The piece “Wet Blanket,” which is a fleece blanket printed with an image of dried, cracked lake-bed mud, dropped in a crumpled state in the middle of the gallery floor, successfully looking absurd and unexpected. Near the back wall of the gallery, “Water Cooler” consists of two large water cooler bottles stacked neck-toneck in hourglass fashion atop a white plastic utility bucket, with the bottom bottle filled with “sand from Lake Oroville,” making, perhaps, a comment on the drought conditions that exposed the sand as our local water supply runs lower and lower. At seemingly random moments, a voice begins issuing from a small set of speakers in the gallery’s back corner. “Dam. Dam. Daaam. Daam. ...” the word repeats at various lengths and levels of emotional expression. This is the auditory portion of the exhibit’s title piece, “DAAAM,” which includes a video slideshow displaying dozens of photographs of dams and their environs, ranging from aerial views to groundlevel closeups. The photos are projected on a plywood and fiberglass resin screen that gives the pictures a sort of rippled texture, as if being viewed on a watery

surface. The largest and most complex piece in the exhibit is “Tree & Turf.” At first glance, the artificial, 5-foot-tall pine tree, standing over a similarly sized patch of artificial turf, just seems like a bit of fake nature mixed in with the accumulated found-object sculptures. But then one begins to watch the video being projected on a large screen from a projector hidden at the foot of the tree and the realization dawns that the “tree” and the “turf” are costumes worn by two actors staging various scenarios in public places, such as the corner of Tarn Circle and Royal Oaks Drive in Oroville, or the drought-exposed lake bed and marina of Lake Oroville. Over the course of the 18-minute film, the two characters repeatedly walk up to or into different settings and then pose, blending more or less realistically into the scene depending on how incongruous the costumes are to that particular area. The aesthetic and emotional outcome of each tableau varies from silly to deeply poignant as the characters seemingly search for comfort and a place to “fit in”—from the striated depths of the lake bed to a green and woodsy hillside and artificially luxuriant irrigated lawn— giving some genuine meaning to Sollars’ intention of creating “absurdist opportunities in the public realm to generate XQH[SHFWHG RXWFRPHV ³ Ɛ

HOLIDAYS ON ICE “I said that Santa changed his policy and no longer traffics in coal. Instead, if you’re bad, he comes to your house and steals things. I told Riley that if he didn’t behave himself, Santa was going to take away his TV and all his electrical appliances and leave him in the dark.”—David Sedaris, The Santaland Diaries What better way to prepare for the stress, cheer, drama and warmth of the holiday season than to hear one of the greatest American humorists read from his books, or journals, or whatever else he might decide to share.

That creativity proved fruitful, and quickly. Not long after forming and writing a handful of songs, the group hit the road for the first time, playing the renowned Treefort Music Fest in Boise and shortly after joining indie superheroes

Built to Spill for a national tour. By the end of 2013, they released their first full-length, Get Lost. Though things were rapidly accelerating, Genders was still getting its footing as a band. Until that point, the sound had teetered between dreamy and aggressive, a mesh of shy shoegaze with bouts of garage-rock cacophony. The band decided to take some time to hone its style, finding its own distinct place on the sonic spectrum. “We started writing songs in a little bit of a different way after that first tour with Built to Spill,” Leisy said. “We realized things we needed to work on as a band. We got on that tour pretty fast. Even though I think we kept up well, we were extremely lucky to get pushed into a situation at that point because we weren’t quite ready for it. When we got back and started writing songs, there was just a lot more focus— trying not to compete as much with parts and not throw as many tracks on every single song.” The clarity feels palpable on their just-released EP, Phone Home. Even amid the heavy reverb, gritty breakdowns and wobbly, trebley guitar licks, there’s a sense of rootedness as well as some wideopen space, making it easy to follow along with guitarists Morris and Leisy as they trade off lead

vocals (the band is rounded out by Katherine Paul on drums and Toby Tanabe on bass). The first single, “Life Is But a Dream,” has the clear melodic drive of a pop song, with a psychedelic glaze. There’s an overall downbeat feeling across the five songs, and while the fuzzy drawl of dream-pop already lends itself to a low mood, the events in the band members’ personal lives might’ve subconsciously added to the EP’s overall melancholy. “I don’t think we necessarily thought of it as being a super dark record,” Leisy said. “I suppose a lot of bad things were happening while we were recording that, so that probably just snuck its way in there. Maggie’s grandparents died while we were working on that. My dad died. I guess it was just kind of a tough time that maybe found its way into the songs.” The EP was mixed by Portland duo the Helio Sequence, with whom Genders just finished a West Coast tour. With its strong pop songcraft and dark undertones, the EP finds the band with a more clearly defined sound. And with an album’s worth of new songs already under its belt, Genders would seem poised to continue to build upon its newly IRUWLILHG IRXQGDWLRQ Ɛ

IN THE MIX Zoo music Fall tempts us all into cozy slumber, but luckily there are bands like Crocodiles to pull us back out onto the dance floor. The San Diego glam-punks have released their fifth LP, Dreamless, which finds the group exploring more polished electronic tones. It’s a mix of grit and glitter coming from sparkling keyboard lines over a distorted underbelly. Danceable bass lines are paired with simple synth rhythms that seem to smooth out Crocodiles’ typical fuzz-pedal rough edges, though the production itself remains more on the raw side. Songs like “I’m Sick” fall in the realm of driving punk, while “Jumping on Angels” feels more like glam-psychedelic fusion. Despite the album’s instrumental arms and legs, it’s missing a certain punch; the melodies are pleasant, buoyant, but not entirely memorable. However, if you’re merely in search of good beats to keep you from hibernating, you’ll find them here.

Acoustic Recordings 1998-2016 Jack White Third man records Jack White’s Acoustic Recordings 1998-2016 spans his many incarnations, as a solo artist and as a songwriter for bands—The White Stripes, The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather. This double album, featuring White performing unplugged, reaffirms his gift for storytelling surrounding the human condition. “As Ugly as I Seem,” from The White Stripes’ Get Behind Me Satan (2005), offers his always stellar guitar work accompanied by former bandmate Meg White on bongos. It’s his raw, emotive voice, however, that steals the air—clear, naked, sometimes wrenching and plaintive. Listening to the high-quality, 180-gram vinyl version on my old record player (while enjoying the generous liner notes, lyrics and photos) makes White’s emotive voice especially resonant. Beck contributes folksy slide guitar on “Honey, We Can’t Afford to Look This Cheap” (2007 B-side), and included among the 26 songs are remixes of familiar tunes like The White Stripes’ first single, “Hotel Yorba” (2001), and a rich version of The Raconteurs’ murderballad “Carolina Drama,” from 2008’s Consolers of the Lonely.

Solange Saint/Columbia It can’t be easy to step out from an older sibling’s shadow, especially if that sibling is millennial icon Beyoncé. However, Solange Knowles has stepped into her own spotlight. To call her new album a throwback would be a disservice to its true nature as an innovative record that also calls on deep funk and R&B roots. With co-production and arrangements by Raphael Saadiq, it’s something refined, but not overly polished. Knowles creates modest, grounded vocal melodies that hook not with their poppiness, but their pure sincerity. The strength of the album comes both from its elegant melodic mood and Knowles’ lyrical examination of her identity as a black woman, told through lenses of historical indignities to the black community and a deep pride in personal heritage. There are interludes throughout from an interview with rapper Master P, who also provides earnest enlightenment. The album doesn’t have poppy peaks and slow-jam valleys; its entirety radiates something substantial, proud and long-lasting.

Selznick The entire endeavor, the film as well as its story, seems both fascinating and slightly cracked right from the start. The journey is long (163 minutes of screen time), even the characters who show flashes of brilliance and charm are flawed and American Honey erratic, and the group’s journey is Starring Sasha Lane, littered with crime (mostly petty), Shia Labeouf and riley Keough.

But as grim as it might sound in bare-bones synopsis, American Honey is a surprisingly rich experience, provocative, unpredictable, full of stray and offbeat discoveries, lyrical in ways that are both gritty and luminous. The key figures in all this are a spindly young runaway named Star (Sasha Lane in her film debut); the tough-talking young boss-lady Krystal (Riley Keough), who is in charge of the itinerant sales crew; and a smooth-talking salesman and lothario named Jake (Shia LeBeouf), who romances Star and serves as Krystal’s lieutenant and “bitch.” (Much of the

cast, including Lane, is made up of nonprofessionals recruited off the street, with Keough, LeBeouf and Will Patton being the lone pro actors of note.) Most of the film’s sprawling, loose-knit story stays close to Star’s point of view, and that serves to suggest that American Honey is, at least in part, a coming-of-age story for Star. But Arnold brings a mixture of raw realism and patient sympathy to all of the characters, including imperious Krystal and mercurial Jake. In a review for Variety, Guy Lodge praised the film as “Part dreamy millennial picaresque, part distorted tapestry of Americana and part exquisitely illustrated iTunes musical ….” I’d quibble with some of the details in that description, but I think Lodge is quite right about the film’s inspired and provocative blend of genres. At times, it is indeed a very lively movie musical, and one in which the music has much to do with the characterizations—both as a force of liberation and community and as a tool for social control. There’s a fractured kind of love story mixed in with that, and in its road-movie, road-show mode American Honey also becomes a kind of traveling circus and, in a late sequence, a festival of solidarity for outsiders. Especially with Jake, the film is also a kind of inverted Death of a Salesman for the 21st century. He is, among other things, a transient acolyte of TV’s self-help gurus, simultaneously a parody and a victim of the Horatio Alger-ish, “up by his own boot straps” model of individual enterprise and the ascent to wealth. □

mond Doss, a conscientious objector who refused to carry a weapon while serving as an Army medic yet nonetheless received the Medal of Honor for his life-saving feats of bravery. Cinemark 14, Feather River Cinemas and Paradise Cinema 7. Rated R.

Inferno

This is easily the worst film in Ron Howard’s adaptation of The Da Vinci Code series. In this one, Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) wakes up in a hospital room with a bullet scratch on his head and loss of memory, and Sienna Brooks (Felicity Jones) is there to help out. Then somebody starts toward Langdon’s hospital room guns blazing, and the so-called adventure begins. The main “puzzle” Langdon has to solve this time involves the whereabouts of a doomsday bomb that contains a virus that will wipe out the majority of Earth’s population. The first quarter of the movie does have some decent visuals as Langdon has nightmares about a plague-infected Earth, although it makes little sense why he’s having them at all. Much of the movie consists of the couple running around, pausing to talk about some sort of puzzling business that needs to be solved, and then running around again. The puzzles, as in the prior films, are ridiculous. Hanks is just going through the motions with this one. Cinemark 14, Feather River Cinemas and Paradise Cinema 7. Rated PG-13 —B.G.

Salads and sour beer Burgers and Brew serves up more than just beef and hop-bombs restaurant, and that feels true at Burgers and Brew. The Toutdoor patio facing Broadway is a leading example of hey say ambiance is half of what you pay for at a

why that style of dining is taking off in downtown Chico. And really, that’s what separates Burgers and Brew’s new location from the old one, which until last year was just up the street, at the corner of Second and Broadway story and streets. The old place also had an photo by Howard outdoor seating area, but it was Hardee small and offered an uninspiring view of a parking lot. The new one h owardh@ is prime real estate, especially on newsrev iew.c om sunny days. It’s one of my go-to places to kick it, eat and drink and HHH1/2 watch passersby. Burgers and Brew The move also allowed the 301 broadway St. restaurant to expand its number of 879-9100 www.burgersand tap handles (now 64), providing brew.com a ridiculous variety of specialty craft beers, including 15 rotating Hours: specials. Otherwise, it’s stayed Sunday-Wednesday, 11 a.m.-midnight; pretty much the same. There’s a Thursday-Saturday, full complement of burgers and 11 a.m.-3 a.m. sandwiches and fries of all kinds— sweet potato, garlic and curly—and the cooks generally make any HHHHH modifications you want. ePIC A diner’s first inclination may be HHHH to order a burger paired with some AUTHorITATIve monstrous IPA or stout. When in Rome, you know? Meat and cheese HHH APPeALING and hop-bombs are standbys, but if you’re in the mood for something HH HAS momeNTS different, something a little lighter, Burgers and Brew’s menu goes H FLAWeD deeper than its name might suggest.

On a recent, chilly weeknight on the patio, my dinner date, Abby, and I got a table by the outdoor firepit and ordered a flight of sour beers ($14 for four 5 oz. glasses) and a salad apiece. Hear me out: At Burgers and Brew, the salad is more than miscellaneous green stuff. Consider the Fuji salad ($6.50 for a half-salad, which is a full plate). It includes sliced apples or pears, candied walnuts, crumbled blue cheese and carrot shavings, all seated on greens drizzled with balsamic dressing. As per usual, my Fuji salad was right on, but Abby’s Caesar ($6.25 for a half) wasn’t up to par. We discovered that it’s possible for croutons to be stale—aren’t they like, old bread, anyway?—and the dressing’s anchovy flavor was weak. The salads paired well with the flight, however. For those not on the sour beer bandwagon, they’re produced by intentionally allowing wild yeast or bacteria in during the brewing process, providing an acidic quality that can range from slightly tart to a sour slap in the face. Our flight included the Petrus Aged Pale from Belgium’s De Brabandere Brewery; Cuvée des Jacobins Rouge, a Flemish red ale made by another Beligan outfit, Omer Vander Ghinste Brewery; The Bruery’s Oude Tart, a Flemish red produced in Orange County; and the Tell-Tale Tart, a sour ale made by Kansas City’s Boulevard Brewing Co. The Petrus, glowing yellow in the firelight, looked appealing, but had a bitter finish neither of us cared for. I thought the deep-red Cuvée hit the spot, with the right balance of malt and sour kick; and the cloudy, highly carbonated Oude Tart scored points with Abby for giving her nose a fizzy feeling. We agreed that the Tell-Tale Tart was more neutral in flavor and sensation by comparison. We ate relatively healthfully, sampled beers new to us, and didn’t empty our wallets or overstuff ourselves. Overall, we left satisfied. □ November 10, 2016

No fUN This is the real shit. All self-

respecting rockers need to get to the Pageant Theatre this week for Gimme danger, Jim Jarmusch’s just-released documentary on the band The stooges. Mixing the dark noise of the Velvet Underground, the sensuality of Jim Morrison, the glamor of David Bowie and the blue-collar toughness of the Detroit band’s factory-town beginnings, iggy Pop and his band of Stooges created a primal, wild and loud brand of rock that would end up influencing the sound, look and attitude of most of the punk and alternative music that would come after. Opens Friday (Nov. 11).

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY For the week oF november 10, 2016 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Now and

then you display an excessive egotism that pushes people away. But during the next six weeks you will have an excellent chance to shed some of that tendency, even as you build more of the healthy pride that attracts help and support. So be alert for a steady flow of intuitions that will instruct you on how to elude overconfidence and instead cultivate more of the warm, radiant charisma that is your birthright. You came here to planet Earth not just to show off your bright beauty, but also to wield it as a source of inspiration and motivation for those whose lives you touch.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “How

often I found where I should be going only by setting out for somewhere else,” said inventor Buckminster Fuller. I don’t fully endorse that perspective. For example, when I said goodbye to North Carolina with the intention to make Northern California my new home, Northern California is exactly where I ended up and stayed. Having said that, however, I suspect that the coming months could be one of those times when Fuller’s formula applies to you. Your ultimate destination may turn out to be different from your original plan. But here’s the tricky part: If you do want to eventually be led to the situation that’s right for you, you have to be specific about setting a goal that seems right for now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you

were an obscenely rich plutocrat, you might have a pool table on your superyacht. And to ensure that you and your buddies could play pool even in a storm that rocked your boat, you would have a special gyroscopic instrument installed to keep your pool table steady and stable. But I doubt you have such luxury at your disposal. You’re just not that wealthy or decadent. You could have something even better, however: metaphorical gyroscopes that will keep you steady and stable as you navigate your way through unusual weather. Do you know what I’m referring to? If not, meditate on the three people or influences that might best help you stay grounded. Then make sure you snuggle up close to those people and influences during the next two weeks.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The com-

ing weeks will be a good time to fill your bed with rose petals and sleep with their aroma caressing your dreams. You should also consider the following acts of intimate revolution: listening to sexy spiritual flute music while carrying on scintillating conversations with interesting allies … sharing gourmet meals in which you and your sensual companions use your fingers to slowly devour your delectable food … dancing naked in semidarkness as you imagine your happiest possible future. Do you catch my drift, Cancerian? You’re due for a series of appointments with savvy bliss and wild splendor.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “I have always

wanted … my mouth full of strange sunlight,” writes Leo poet Michael Dickman in his poem “My Honeybee.” In another piece, while describing an outdoor scene from childhood, he innocently asks, “What kind of light is that?” Elsewhere he confesses, “What I want more than anything is to get down on paper what the shining looks like.” In accordance with the astrological omens, Leo, I suggest you follow Dickman’s lead in the coming weeks. You will receive soulful teachings if you pay special attention to both the qualities of the light you see with your eyes and the inner light that wells up in your heart.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The Pas-

sage du Gois is a 2.8-mile causeway that runs between the western French town of Beauvoir-sur-Mer and the island of Noirmoutier in the Atlantic Ocean. It’s only usable twice a day when the tide goes out, and even then for just an hour or two. The rest of the time it’s underwater. If you hope to walk or bike or drive across, you must accommodate yourself to nature’s rhythms. I suspect there’s a metaphorically similar phenomenon in your life, Virgo. To get to where you want to go next,

by rob brezsny you can’t necessarily travel exactly when you feel like it. The path will be open and available for brief periods. But it will be open and available.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Modern toilet paper appeared in 1901, when a company in Green Bay, Wis., began to market “sanitary tissue” to the public. The product had a small problem, however. Since the manufacturing process wasn’t perfect, wood chips sometimes remained embedded in the paper. It was not until 1934 that the product was offered as officially “splinter-free.” I mention this, Libra, because I suspect that you are not yet in the splinter-free phase of the promising possibility you’re working on. Keep at it. Hold steady. Eventually you’ll purge the glitches.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Don’t

be someone that searches, finds and then runs away,” advises novelist Paulo Coelho. I’m tempted to add this caveat: “Don’t be someone that searches, finds, and then runs away—unless you really do need to run away for a while to get better prepared for the reward you have summoned … and then return to fully embrace it.” After studying the astrological omens, Scorpio, I’m guessing you can benefit from hearing this information.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Go ahead and howl a celebratory “goodbye!” to any triviality that has distracted you from your worthy goals, to any mean little ghost that has shadowed your good intentions, and to any faded fantasy that has clogged up the flow of your psychic energy. I also recommend that you whisper “welcome!” to open secrets that have somehow remained hidden from you, to simple lessons you haven’t been simple enough to learn before now, and to breathtaking escapes you have only recently earned. P.S. You are authorized to refer to the coming weeks as a watershed.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Greenland

sharks live a long time—up to 400 years, according to researchers at the University of Copenhagen. The females of the species don’t reach sexual maturity until they’re 150. I wouldn’t normally compare you Pisceans to these creatures, but my reading of the astrological omens suggests that the coming months will be a time when at long last you will reach your full sexual ripeness. It’s true that you’ve been capable of generating new human beings for quite some time. But your erotic wisdom has lagged behind. Now that’s going to change. Your ability to harness your libidinous power will soon start to increase. As it does, you’ll gain new access to primal creativity.

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

you know about the Lords of Shouting? According to Christian and Jewish mythology, they’re a gang of 15.5 million angels that greet each day with vigorous songs of praise and blessing. Most people are too preoccupied with their own mind chatter to pay attention to them, let alone hear their melodious offerings. But I suspect you may be an exception to that rule in the coming weeks. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you’ll be exceptionally alert for and receptive to glad tidings. You may be able to spot opportunities that others are blind to, including the chants of the Lords of Shouting and many other potential blessings. Take advantage of your aptitude!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Musician and visual artist Brian Eno loves to dream up innovative products. In 2006, he published a DVD called 77 Million Paintings, which uses technological trickery to generate 77 million different series of images. To watch the entire thing would take 9,000 years. In my opinion, it’s an interesting but gimmicky novelty—not particularly deep or meaningful. During the next nine months, Capricorn, I suggest that you attempt a far more impressive feat: a richly complex creation that will provide you with growth-inducing value for years to come.

Love’s Real estate

The Abyss

“I hate to bust your balloon, babe, but your new listing is way overpriced,” said my mentor, KDV. “I know,” I said, “but Mr. Mason was dead set on his price.” “Listen, babe,” said KDV. “I know old Mr. Mason is a hard-headed son of a gun. And he’s such a tightwad that if he ever pulled a dollar bill out of his pocket, George Washington would blink at the light.” KDV paused for comedic timing. “But you gotta stand on your own two feet. You can’t let any client push you into the Listing Abyss.” “Listing Abyss, huh?” I said. “That’s a good one.” “I’m not being sarcastic. A sarcastic abyss would be a sar-chasm,” KDV said. “Trust me, babe, the Listing Abyss is a bottomless pit of time, money, and energy. You’ve done a poor job for your client when you take a ridiculously overpriced listing. It won’t even get offers.”

He pointed to his face. “Look at me,” he said. “You gotta say to Mr. Mason, ‘Do you want to just list your house, or do you want to actually sell it?’” Later, I stood with Mr. Mason at his auto shop, searching for the right words. Mr. Mason said, “Aren’t you going to ask me whether I want to just list my house or if I want to actually sell it?” He chuckled. “Your buddy KDV stopped by today and read me the riot act about our price. He’s right.” “But I was also supposed to stand on my own two feet,” I said. “Well,” said Mr. Mason, “at least he saved us from the Listing Abyss.”
