Avoiding collisions with cars, changing their songs in noisy cities, and using street lights to increase their foraging times are just a few of the remarkable ways birds cope with a changing planet. Roger Lederer’s Beaks, Bones, and Bird Songs, will be available for sale for $20 at this presentation and throughout the Festival weekend.

in volunteer programs that support park stewardship.

If offered as a credit course for high school and college students, the benefits would increase exponentially as young leaders educate their peers.

Applicants would receive training and pass a written test to become certified park naturalists.

After completion of the course, they would provide a specified number of volunteer hours of community outreach/education or park enhancement projects each year to maintain their certification.

The program could be administered by Butte College, Chico State or the city of Chico. College alumni and staff provide a wealth of local experts capable of instructing on all things Bidwell Park.

Potential lecture topics include cultural history, geology, hydrology, native and invasive plants, wildlife, riparian ecology, restoration efforts and trail-building methods.

Imagine the power of educated, motivated volunteers advocating for our park. They could organize and complete improvement projects, act as docents and lead field trips. Perhaps their most important role would be to educate the public about the challenges facing the park. The ripple effect would be wide-reaching: knowledge and community ties helping to preserve our beloved Bidwell Park. □

train wreck. While nothing following the inauguration of Donald Trump on Friday (Jan. 20) has been particularly surprising, it’s still somehow shocking that it’s becoming reality. And it’s happening fast.

In just his first few days in office, President Trump already has made a number of orders, including: • Canceling a .25 percent cut on mortgage insurance that former President Obama approved but that hadn’t yet taken effect. This affects mostly firsttime home buyers.

• Directing Congress to begin preparing for the repeal of the Affordable Care Act. • Reinstating the Mexico City policy, which forbids U.S. federal dollars from funding nonprofits that perform abortions in foreign countries.

• Moving forward on the controversial Keystone XL and Dakota Access Pipeline projects. In doing so, he asked the Army to approve construction near the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation and mandated that pipeline material be made in the United States.

• Withdrawing from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade agreement among 12 nations championed by former President Barack Obama but not yet in effect.

As of press time, many other actions were expected Wednesday, including those regarding building a wall between the United States and Mexico, and launching an investigation into voter fraud. Trump has said he’ll soon submit his nomination for the empty Supreme Court seat.

And, of course, Trump isn’t the only one making laws in Washington.

Earlier this week, the office of Rep. Doug LaMalfa sent out a press release in which he pats himself on the back for voting for House Resolution 7, an anti-abortion measure This that will make the procedure unaffordable for low-income women by eliminating funding to is our insurance plans that cover it. revolution.

We’ve long known that LaMalfa (R-Richvale), whose 1st District covers Butte County, is anti-abortion. After all, during the pre-election debate hosted by the League of Women Voters of Butte County between himself and challenger Jim Reed, the CN&R asked the two men about their stances on Planned Parenthood. LaMalfa predictably repeated the debunked claim that the nonprofit, which provides reproductive health services including exams, STD testing and family planning, is a “seller of baby parts.” Reed rightly took LaMalfa to task, clearly disgusted—as we were—that the congressman would continue to spread such lies.

HR 7 looks to be a first salvo at defunding Planned Parenthood. But more than that, it’s one of the first actions—following Trump’s reinstatement of the Mexico City policy—that our government has taken during this presidency that takes direct aim at women’s rights. It’s disturbing that it came just days after the Women’s March, for which millions of people took to America’s streets to protest policies that would strip women—and all minorities—of their rights, including the right to an abortion.

This week’s cover package focuses on the power of protest. As we saw in just a few days following Trump’s inauguration, people are ready for it. We could be entering an era of revolution unlike anything in America since the Civil Rights movement and protests against the war in Vietnam. It certainly feels that way.

In this new era, in addition to protesting the inhumane policies set by our leaders, we must be vigilant in our efforts to stay informed. We must not let our representatives, like Mr. LaMalfa, off the hook when they reverse the path to equality this nation has fought so hard for. As journalists, we’ll do our part to keep readers informed. We hope you’ll do your part, too. This is our revolution. □

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

appointments For years, going back to at least 2008, the Chico City Council discussed adopting a new system for choosing people to serve on certain city boards and commissions, one in which each council member, upon his or her election, would appoint a nominee. The proposed direct-appointment process was controversial because of concerns that it would result in partisan choices rather than individuals who were best qualified or equipped to serve the city as a whole.

In September 2014, the new process passed with a mix of bipartisan support—progressives Tami Ritter and then-Mayor Scott Gruendl joined conservatives Sean Morgan and then-Vice Mayor Mark Sorensen in voting aye. Councilmembers Ann Schwab and Randall Stone, along with then-Councilwoman Mary Goloff, cast the dissenting votes.

Dave Kelley, a former planning commissioner, twice appeared before the panel to voice concerns about potential cronyism. The second time around, in 2015, during the public’s first look at the new process, Kelley pointed out that Sorensen and Reanette Fillmer’s appointments to the Planning Commission (Bob Evans and Dale Bennett, respectively) had given money to their campaigns. In other words, there was a perception of favoritism.

That could have been a deal breaker. The catch with the new system is that the appointments are still subject to a vote of the full council. But that disclosure didn’t convince anyone to vote nay. All seven council members, in a vote on all of the appointments together, approved the lot (three members of the Planning Commission and three members of the Bidwell Park and Playground Commission).

That changed last week when a challenge arose for the first time.

It came from Sorensen—the biggest advocate for the new system.

He didn’t want Tom Barrett, Councilman Karl Ory’s pick for park commission, to serve on that panel. Sorensen noted that Barrett had been on the Planning Commission in the past and had been censured, but he didn’t go into detail on what spurred the censure.

I’ve never met Barrett, so I can’t speak to his temperament, but in doing research through CN&R’s archives, I learned that the controversy stemmed from him using the word “bullshit” in an email exchange with a Chico resident back in the mid-aughts.

Sorensen made a motion for approval of all of the appointments with the exception of Barrett. What’s funny is that it passed along party lines. That means Councilman Andrew Coolidge joined Sorensen, and so too did pottie-mouths Morgan and Fillmer, who’ve dropped an F-bomb and S-bomb from the dais, respectively. I guess only board and commission members are subject to censuring.

Speaking of Morgan, I can’t write about Chico’s ultra-conservative new mayor this week without mentioning that on Saturday, the day of the Women’s March on Washington, which turned out to be the biggest day of protest in U.S. history, he posted to Facebook a piece from a far-right website headlined “A guide to basic differences between left and right.” Here’s just one of the nuggets I found there: “Family Ideal: Left: any loving unit of people Right: a married father and mother, and children” Morgan’s passive aggressive response to the demonstration in Chico was offensive to many of his constituents and unbefitting of his position.

Melissa Daugherty is editor of the CN&R

Two on Women’s March The first press conference in the Trump White House news room, while millions of people were marching in the streets, was pathetically focused on our president claiming the media had underestimated his crowd size at the inaugural, the day before.

Does he truly live in a bubble of alternate reality?

Meanwhile, here in Chico, the amazing women’s rally and march was the largest such event ever seen in Chico. Thousands carried signs and rallied, determined to get involved— women, men, children, all standing up for the decent, kind and caring United States we all know we can assure by standing together. It was a wonderful event, and I would like to thank the organizers and volunteers who made it such a success.

I helped staff a table at the rally, for the Democratic Action Club of Chico (meetings every fourth Tuesday, 7 p.m., at the Chico library). There was a lot of interest in the DACC table, perhaps due to our banner with a quote from union organizer and martyr Joe Hill: “Don’t mourn, organize!” As President Obama said, “buy a clipboard” and run for office.

Or help someone who is. No handwringing. Don’t mourn, organize!

Bill Monroe Chico

Went to the Chico edition of the Women’s March. First word that comes to mind is “embarrassing.”

Most of the people there must be the face of some type of revolution, as it was “revolting.” Placards were abundant, ranging from “Full rights for all immigrants” to “Resist fascism.” The only one remotely related to women was “This pussy grabs back!”

I had hoped to see and hear about issues such as Islamic oppression of women, clitoral mutilation and sex slavery, but that was not to be found. To the crowd, it seemed that all women’s problems were somehow related to Trump’s election. I heard several incoherent, rambling speeches about “building bridges instead of walls,” “justice for all,” ad nauseum.

However, I did feel included when “dreamers” were mentioned, as I can only imagine my nightmares related to this event.

‘Grabber-in-Chief’

A few one-liners

At one of the new “president’s” campaign events, he used one of George Harrison’s songs, “Here Comes the Sun.” More appropriate would have been Harrison’s song “Beware of Darkness.”

A hyperactive child in the bloated body of a self-absorbed narcissist, his first action in his new job was to raise taxes on a million middle-class home buyers, reversing a scheduled .25 percent tax cut in FHA mortgage insurance premiums. Next, he signed an executive order to begin the process of taking health care away from 20 million people, as well as an additional 10 million who will see state-sponsored insurance cut.

I wonder how many of the uneducated white male voters who supported him will be affected?

How many of his senior citizen supporters will be hurt by the Republicans’ plan to dismantle Social Security and Medicare?

How many of his supporters’ children and grandchildren will suffer from dismantled regulations on air and water pollution? And how safe is the world now that this thin-skinned, whiny little brat has the codes to our nuclear arsenal?

Many dictators prefer military rank titles. Since this dictator-wannabe acts more like a petulant baby than an adult, I crown him Colonel Diapers, our Grabber-in-Chief.

It is not the small size of a man’s hand that determines his method of governance, but rather the enormity and consistency of just his middle digit.

Roger Beadle Chico

Dear Speaker

Cnrsweetdeals.newsreview.Com

To Paul Ryan: Set an example. Be the first American congressman to repeal your own gold standard government health insurance, funded by the taxes of your hardworking constituents. Give up your protection from pre-existing conditions and pay out of your own pocket for diseases that private insurance will refuse to cover. Take the moral high ground and show us you are willing to threaten your own physical safety before you demand that sacrifice from the millions of Americans you claim to protect. Be the courageous warrior who leads his troops into battle, rather than shouting proclamations from a safe distance.

Shelter needed now Re “Shelter from the storm” (Newslines, by Meredith J. Cooper, Jan. 14): At least [Joel] Castle is making a noble effort to address the plight of homeless in regards that there is not enough “legal” shelter to protect them from the elements. By the time City Council, et al., finish palavering about it, they may have to figure out how to dispose of some who couldn’t find alternative shelter and succumbed to the elements, which aren’t waiting for anyone.

Frank Toews Chico

Too much waffling Re “More tent talk” (Newslines, by Meredith J. Cooper, Jan. 19): According to your story on a proposed permanent campground, “[Councilman Randall] Stone acknowledged that he did initially vote to approve one such law, the Offences Against Waterways and Public Property ordinance, but, after realizing he’d made a mistake, voted against it when it came back for expansion.” Firstly, the “one such law” is a multifaceted ordinance, criminalizing an array of functions necessary for survival.

Secondly, while it’s true that Stone voted against expanding these cruel laws to more areas of the city, he did not mention any previous “mistake,” on the night the expansion was approved. On the contrary, Stone praised the original ordinance, saying it made a “tremendous difference” in the safety of his own neighborhood.

Revising history, even by implication, enables Stone’s perennial waffling. If Stone can find his

Wake up, Dems North State Progressives won big in the state delegate vote a few weeks ago, and a better Democratic Party may be possible.

But the gaping black hole in the Democratic Party is that it does not consider foreign policy an issue worthy of attention, at a time when the U.S. has gone trillions of dollars into debt for a very militarized U.S. foreign policy that has killed hundreds of thousands, and left unimaginable pain, destruction and environmental degradation behind … and more refugees since World War II, and made the world more unstable and the U.S. less safe.

The Democratic Party is oblivious. Or they are scared that if they had an opinion they might lose votes.

Right now, the Democrats are going after the Russians with a McCarthy-like, bloodthirsty zeal. It is embarrassing.

While the Russians may be responsible for hacking the DNC, it was the DNC and establishment Democrats who rigged the primary and it was obvious before the leaked emails.

The U.S. routinely influences elections and attempts to overthrow governments.

Domestic issues are extremely important! But careless militaristic foreign policy may disembowel the future by creating so much hate, instability, debt, destruction and environmental damage that the

world can’t recover.

Being complacent is being complicit. The Democrats have really bloody hands.

Women’s rights Roe v. Wade is the war on women.

Since 1973, approximately 60 million Americans have lost their lives before taking a breathe outside the womb. At least half, or around 30 million, were females who would have become doctors, teachers, coaches, construction workers, managers, business owners, friends, wives, moms and on and on.

What about the human rights of these 30 million women. Did politicians take their rights? Did Christians take their rights? No, to all the above. The sad reality is that some women and their complicit organizations continue to support and promote the taking of innocent and defenseless lives.

Women, be alert, your enemy walks among you.

More marchers than that As part of the team that organized the Women’s March, I would like to correct the Chico police chief’s estimate of only about 1,000 marchers. A mathematician figured out the number was about 2,500 people, part of the over 1 million people who marched globally in support of groups who will be hurt by the new administration. That includes all of us who will be harmed by rolling back measures to halt global warming and undermining public education.

NEWSLINES DOWNSTROKE POSSIBLE OVErDOSE DEaTHS

In the span of one week, two Chicoans died from possible drug overdoses, according to the Chico Police Department.

On. Jan. 17, a worker found Joseph Maybrun, 29, unresponsive in the public restroom at Ringel Park on West First Street. Medical personnel, who found drug paraphernalia in the restroom, attempted CPR and transported Maybrun to Enloe Medical Center, where he died. Facebook posts describe Maybrun as a struggling addict with a love for music and dedication to his church and volunteering.

A few days later, on Sunday (Jan. 22), 20-year-old Harley Young was found dead from a possible drug overdose in the alcove of the front doorway of the Chico Area Recreation District’s office on Vallombrosa Avenue. Again, heroin paraphernalia was found nearby.

Homeless advocate Bill Mash wrote a Facebook post about Young’s passing. He’d met her as a 17-year-old runaway who sought refuge at the Safe Space Winter Shelter. “Bless everyone that loved and cared for her, the best way they knew, and the best way they could,” he writes.

In both cases, the cause of death will be determined by autopsies performed by the Butte County Coroner.

aBOrTIOn rIgHTS TakE a HIT

North State Congressman Doug LaMalfa (R-Richvale) sent out a press release Tuesday (Jan. 24) touting his latest vote—for House Resolution 7, which prohibits federal dollars from funding abortion services.

“Today, I was proud to join with my fellow men and women of the House to ensure that Americans are never forced to pay for abortions with their tax dollars,” LaMalfa (pictured) said in his statement. The conservative representative is known to repeat the unfounded notion that Planned Parenthood “sells baby parts.”

HR 7, aka the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act of 2017, makes permanent the Hyde Amendment, passed in the 1970s, which says federal money can’t be used to fund abortions. In addition, it amends the Affordable Care Act to disallow premium tax credits on plans that cover abortion services.

Deal is off Durham school board votes down contested tentative agreement got in trouble, big time,” said 9-year‘A old Justin Hedlund as he addressed the couple of months ago, I told a lie and I

Durham Unified School District’s board of trustees on Jan. 18. “I got story and suspended from school, photo by grounded at home and Ken Smith all my electronics were kens @ taken away. But worst n ew srev i ew. c o m of all, I lost the trust of people around me.”

Justin, a fourthgrader at Durham Elementary School, continued speaking about the impact of his dishonesty, his attempts to regain trust and the importance of keeping one’s word.

And then he drove his point home. “Your words are your honor. … I ask the school board members to honor their words and keep their own promise of honoring the agreement they already signed, before all trust in them is lost.”

The crowd of about 100 people, filling lunch tables in the Durham Elementary School cafeteria behind Justin, erupted in cheers and applause as he finished speaking. The phrase “honor your words” was

repeated by many of the Durham parents, teachers, students and community members who spoke after Justin, the majority of whom urged the board to accept a tentative agreement signed by the district and the Durham Unified Teachers Association in October.

The board balked at ratifying the agreement in November, citing a computational error in the document that would result in bigger raises than intended. During last week’s meeting, school board President Ed McLaughlin said the contract in question would result in an 11 percent total hike rather than the 9 percent raise—spread over three years—the district says it agreed to. The issue hung in limbo until last week’s contentious board meeting, when the tentative agreement was shot down by a 4-to-1 vote.

Teachers in the DUSD have been working

without a contract since their last one expired on July 1, 2015, and say they make less than teachers in other Butte County districts. Other details of the contested agreement included lessening the time it takes for a teacher to reach the

maximum salary schedule, from 32 to 26 years.

The district’s website still links to an Oct. 21 announcement that a tentative contract agreement for the 2015-16 through 2017-18 school years was worked out in a 6 1/2-hour mediation session two days prior.

Davis Van Arsdale, DUTA president and a math teacher in Durham, said Tuesday (Jan. 24) that the document the district now objects to was reviewed three times and signed by both parties during that marathon meeting. He also said the district’s renege on the deal resulted in the union filing a complaint with the Public Employment Relations Board in mid-November because, by law, district officials have to support a tentative deal signed by their representatives.

“Not only did the district not support it, they came out publicly and said the board can’t agree to this, and that it’s a bad contract,” Van Arsdale said.

Since Jan. 16, as a form of protest, Durham teachers have been working hours according to the precise terms of their expired contract, meaning they are on duty

Jennifer Hedlund and her son Justin, a student at Durham Elementary School, both spoke on behalf of Durham Unified School District teachers who’ve been working without a contract since 2015 at a board meeting last week.

only for 15 minutes before and after school and close their classrooms during breaks and lunch. The teachers say they normally put far more hours than that into preparing their lessons, tutoring, overseeing clubs and extra-curricular activities, as well as other expected duties. Van Arsdale said this will continue until a final contract is signed.

The district contends that the tentative agreement, as it stands, would create an overwhelming financial hardship.

The ongoing disagreement has resulted

in turmoil in the community and some tense moments at last week’s school board meeting.

At one point, a man began to speak from the floor and McLaughlin cut him off: “I’m not talking to you,” he said loudly. “I’m talking to the general, reasonable people out in the crowd.”

“You, sir, are stunningly superficial,” the man retorted as he rose and left the building.

There were also some tears during the hour-long public comment period.

Ellese Mello Buttitta, an alumna of the district’s schools, faced her former teachers rather than the board, addressing some by name and crediting them with her decision to become a teacher herself. She grew tearful when explaining that she teaches in another district where her salary schedule is $10,000 higher than it would be in DUSD. “Justice needs to happen because I, at 14 years [of teaching], shouldn’t be making more than my teachers and mentors,” she said.

As contentious as the meeting became, a pin drop could be heard when it came time for the five-member board to vote. All but one trustee, Kathy Horn, voted to reject the tentative agreement.

Explaining his decision to vote against, trustee Lance Smith said he believes the teachers deserve a raise, but that the agreement was flawed. “I would be saddling this district with a financial hardship that we could not come out from underneath,” he said.

On Tuesday, Van Arsdale said that, though the teachers had hoped for a different outcome, he’s glad the board made a decision so that contract negotiations can continue. DUTA and DUSD representatives will meet for a fact-finding session in Sacramento on Jan. 31. □

Supes weigh in on pot grows In a bizarre meeting filled with misunderstandings, board votes to regulate growing for recreational use roposition 64, approved by California voters in November, Pmakes it legal for each residence to grow up to six plants.

“Is that six plants per resident or per residence?” Butte County Supervisor Larry Wahl asked as clarification during Tuesday’s regular meeting of the board.

“Residence,” replied Chief Deputy County Counsel Brad Stephens.

“So, three people living in a house can each grow six plants?”

Wahl asked. “No ...”

And that was pretty much how it went during Tuesday’s discussion of a proposed county ordinance to regulate the growing of recreational marijuana in unincorporated areas.

As Stephens explained to the panel, the proposed ordinance mirrors restrictions on medical grows set forth in Measure A, with a few exceptions. Instead of limiting grow areas by square footage based on lot size, it simply limits where people can grow based on lot size. So, for recreational grows

“Everyone’s pretty much taken four minutes—might as well make it four minutes,” prompting some who’d already spoken to repeatedly ask for an additional minute).

“You should let people know that you’re looking out for them,” she told the board, explaining that it’s already legal for people to grow for recreational use. So, without an ordinance, there aren’t restrictions on lot size, etc. She did request that the limit on outdoor grows be dropped to lots 2 acres or less instead of 5. Also, she opposed a provision requiring filtration systems for indoor grows, which could prove quite costly.

Candace Grubbs, county clerkrecorder, approached the board and had Connelly hang a map on the wall depicting where the concentrations of people who voted in favor of medical marijuana grow restrictions lived, showing they were mostly in the county’s rural communities. Grubbs, who lives in the county, said with all the pot grows popping up, “I wouldn’t want my grandchildren growing up here.”

In response, a man named Anthony said he’s seen a lot of businesses closing lately. “The reason you don’t want your grandchildren growing up here is that there aren’t any opportunities for them here. Times are changing and we need to adapt—do we want to fall behind or do we want to lead the way? If you want less growing, give people a place to get their medicine, and their recreational marijuana.”

That discussion, however, will happen over the summer.

Ultimately, after some more debate and misunderstandings, the board voted 3-to-2, with Wahl and Supervisor Steve Lambert dissenting, to approve the ordinance.

Teen suicides prompt mandate for California schools to confront taboo topic by

Jessica Calefati

Iamong cide is the second leading cause of death teens—a grim reminder that many n California and across the country, sui-

high school students’ primary barrier to adulthood is themselves.

More young people take their own lives than are killed by cancer, heart disease, birth defects, stroke, flu, pneumonia and chronic lung disease combined. And under legislation set to take effect this month, school systems up and down the state will be forced to confront the taboo topic headon.

Assembly Bill 2246, authored by Assemblyman Patrick O’Donnell, D-Long Beach, requires districts to adopt suicide prevention policies that target high-risk groups, such as students bereaved by a classmate’s death and LGBT youth. It was inspired by teen suicide clusters that have traumatized Palo Alto and San Diego in recent years.

CN&R

january 26, 2017

A string of suicides this school year among boys who attend the same Central Valley high school in Clovis is the latest example underscoring the urgent need to tackle this problem. The new law asks districts to attack it from all sides by promoting students’ emotional well-being, intervening when they’re in crisis and responding appropriately when tragedy strikes.

“This is not a policy to write up and put on a shelf. It’s a lifesaving policy,” said Abbe Land, executive director of The Trevor Project, a nonprofit serving LGBT youth that sponsored the legislation. “One teacher reaching out at the right time because they were trained to see the warning signs can save a student’s life.”

After declining steadily in the 1980s and ’90s, the prevalence of suicide in this country began to rise once again around the turn of the century, increasing 24 percent between 1999 and 2014, according to a report published earlier this year by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

That analysis also revealed that the suicide rate among tween girls ages 10 to 14 had tripled over 15 years.

Surveys of California high school students have shown that 1 in 5 had seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year and that thoughts of suicide were most prevalent among female students and among students from multiracial, Native American and Pacific Islander backgrounds. Males, however, account for three out of every four deaths.

O’Donnell knows this is an “uncomfortable topic,” but said he felt an obligation as chair of the Assembly Education Committee to take it on.

Earlier this year, the measure cleared the state Senate with unanimous support, but in the lower house, almost a dozen GOP members voted no, including Assembly Republican leader Chad Mayes, R-Yucca Valley. (Our local assemblyman, Republican James Gallegher, did not vote on AB 2246.)

Asked about the recent group of suicides at Clovis West High School, including two in the last few weeks, O’Donnell called the cluster “beyond tragic” and said it’s proof of the new law’s relevance.

“Not talking about this problem won’t make it go away,” said O’Donnell, who

had only been on the job a few months in 2014 when a series of student suicides swept through the leafy Silicon Valley enclave. It was the second cluster to hit the district in less than five years, a statistical aberration, leaving McGee almost paralyzed with emotion.

“I felt such terrible sadness,” McGee said. “All I could think was, ‘What could have been done?’”

The district responded to this latest cluster—defined as a succession of deaths in close proximity to one another—by refining the prevention plan it had adopted after the first one and striking a better balance between the district’s storied academic rigor and students’ social and emotional wellbeing.

McGee finally started enforcing a 15-hour-per-week cap on homework that had been on the books for years and began promoting the value of sleep by moving the start of the school day back almost an hour to 8:25 a.m. The district also switched to block scheduling, opened wellness centers staffed by licensed therapists and taught students how to seek help for their friends.

dents who are depressed or suicidal from confiding in their teachers. It also found that bullying and stress over school performance can contribute to the problem.

Palo Alto’s prevention plan doesn’t target LGBT teens, homeless youth or students with disabilities, but it will need to once the new state law takes effect.

Surveys cited by the CDC show LGBT youth are bullied more than their straight peers and that they’re more than twice as likely to have attempted suicide.

Last year, San Diego County endured a string of suicides by transgender youth. Max Disposti had worked with several of them at the LGBT resource center he runs in Oceanside and understands how much they struggled.

“For these kids, it’s not about doing well on exams, it’s about survival,” Disposti said. “They leave the house each morning knowing their body doesn’t match who they are and that they’ll need to explain themselves over and over again. It’s a heavy load.” □

This guy saves you money.

Commuter trains that roll past his office on the hour remind McGee of the work’s importance.

“I still grimace when I hear the train whistle,” McGee said, referencing the students who killed themselves by stepping in front of an oncoming train.

Legislative analysts predict it will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars for districts to develop these plans but noted that costs would be defrayed if they adopt a model policy the California Department of Education is drafting now. Palo Alto also has made its prevention policy available to other districts for free.

“We know now that student wellness is a critical component to learning and that you can’t have one without the other,” McGee said. “We’re eager to share this work with any and everyone.”

Six other states already have adopted similar legislation, and research published earlier this year in The Lancet found that schools have an important role to play in reducing the number of teen suicide attempts. But another study published in a different journal found that schools’ role in tackling the vexing problem has limits.

A meta analysis of schools’ impact on teen suicide revealed that many treat self-harm as bad behavior, which discourages stu-

According to the Center for Science in the Public Interest, here were some of the most deceptive food products of 2016:

Signs of hope Ten ways America moved forward on climate change during the Obama administration by

Peter Dykstra

T

he eight years of the Obama presidency

didn’t lack for environmental (or antienvironmental) gaffes and scams. But those years also gave us plenty of advances and signs of hope. Here are a quick twenty-five.

1) We’ll always have Paris (maybe) After conspicuously failing in Copenhagen in 2009, the world’s nations finally agreed to take concrete steps to reduce CO2 emissions at Paris in late 2015.

Concerns abound that President Trump will seek to ignore or undermine the agreement, however.

2) Environmental justice is a thing again Sometimes, what people do changes history. Sometimes, it’s what people do to other people. Environmental justice—or its lessnoble-sounding alternate name, environmental racism—was reignited as an issue after years of benign good intentions or simple indifference. The struggling, mostly minority city of Flint, Mich., got a new, toxic water supply as a money-saving effort. City, state and federal officials concealed the dangers from Flint residents for more than a year.

And in North Dakota, Native Americans spearheaded a protest that blocked, for now, construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline, braving rubber bullets, pepper spray, attack dogs and water cannons.

Flint residents responded, and the DAPL protesters stood their ground, with great dignity. Like civil rights protesters in the South more than a half-century ago, their ordeals can serve as powerful symbols for many struggles to come.

3) Journalism is dead. Long live journalism.

Reporters have written much about the demise of traditional journalism. Well, at least the ones who still have jobs have written much. But with newspapers slashing

16

CN&R

January 26, 2017

employees and TV news slashing IQ points, journalism websites have filled at least some of the void. Quality environment reporting lives on at nonprofits like the Center for Public Integrity and InsideClimate News, and their for-profit counterparts like Mashable and Vox.com.

And not all old media have thrown in the green towel: The Washington Post and The Associated Press have boosted their reporting resources.

4) Climate deniers lose face-time (except for Congress and the White House) Mainstream media finally noticed embarrassing disclosures about climate denial and its funding sources. With the unsurprising exception of Fox News, media appearances by the small circle of scientists and political operatives like Dr. Richard Lindzen and Marc Morano seem to be in steep decline.

In 2013, the Los Angeles Times instituted a ban on publishing fact-free Letters to the Editor that promoted climate denial.

5) Eyes on the prize(s) Not everyone pays attention to environmental reporting, but the Pulitzer Prize committee does. The beat has averaged better than a Pulitzer per year in the Obama Era— national or investigative reporting, public service and nonfiction.

About this story:

it originally ran as a list of 25. check out the full story on online environmental news site www.environmental healthnews.org.

Topics included analysis of avalanches, a lethal mudslide, wildfires, the poisoning of a town and fossil fuel scams.

6) Eyes in the skies Too much planet, too little law enforcement. But satellites, drones, Google Earth and more are helping to monitor oil spills, illegal logging, mining, fishing and more. A tiny nonprofit, SkyTruth, has been a pioneer, partnering with Google and environmental NGOs to cyber-patrol the oceans in search of pirate fishing boats.

7) Chesapeake comeback (sort of) Four decades of concerted effort to save America’s largest estuary are finally beginning to pay off. Industrial pollution and farm runoff had nearly killed off the Chesapeake Bay, but 2015 saw a slight drop in farm pollution and a rise in two iconic species, blue crabs and rockfish (striped bass). The Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s report card gave the Bay its highest-ever grade, a C-minus. At long last, the Bay stands a chance of getting accepted at a second-tier state college.

8) Turn your head and cough less often The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported a sharp drop in cigarette smoking from 2005 to 2015—from 45.1 million Americans to 36.5 million. Accounting for the drop? A lot of smokers quit; a lot died prematurely. The American Cancer Society reported a 25 percent drop in overall cancer fatalities since 1991.

9) An outbreak of saltwater Yellowstones More than a century ago, the U.S. went on a binge of protecting wild, scenic

lands—Yellowstone, Yosemite, the Grand Canyon and many more—from commercial onslaught. The world’s nations have reprised this at sea in recent years, with giant swaths of ocean set off-limits for most types of commercial activity—fishing, minerals exploration and more. Smaller protected areas popped up along coastlines, and even in the Great Lakes. And 2016 saw a crown jewel established—a multinational protected area in Antarctica’s Ross Sea. 10) Cities take on sustainability ...

It makes sense when you hear that a metropolis like Boston or San Francisco is pursuing sustainability plans. But Vegas, baby, Vegas. Well, the city government of Las Vegas at least. The city announced that a new solar deal enables everything from government buildings, streetlights and all municipal functions to be 100 percent powered by renewables. The fountains and bright lights of the Strip still remain powered largely by natural gas and unthinkable amounts of hype. But what happened in Las Vegas City Hall won’t stay in Las Vegas City Hall. □

Paul Lema has always loved cooking. As a boy, he enjoyed his Italian family gatherings, where he helped make huge quantities of ravioli and salsiccia (an Italian sausage). Later, he devoted himself to organizing and cooking for church groups traveling in Mexico. This eventually led to the creation of his Italian Guy Catering business, which he started 10 years ago.

Now 63, Lema moved to this area to play football for Chico State. He graduated in 1974, met his wife here and worked as a P.E. teacher at Bidwell Junior High for 25 years, the last 15 of which he spent teaching special education P.E. (he retired three years ago). Aside from catering, Lema also hosts events at his Italian Guy Warehouse (28 Bellarmine Court), which opened in October. Contact Italian Guy Catering 345-5633, visit online at www.italianguycatering.com or find it on Facebook

How did you start catering?

I had no formal cooking background, but used to cook for local church youth groups, which I’d take to Mexico to build homes for their impoverished citizens.

My cooking became so popular that nearby charity groups there wanted to eat with us, so I had a “cook wagon” made

I built several buildings, which house the kitchen, storage, freezer, coolers and the Italian Guy Warehouse facility center, which holds indoor and outdoor gatherings. I couldn’t have done it without my two sons, Kyle and Erik, who set up, cook, shop and deliver.

What types of events do you cater?

On weekends, we do weddings, and during the week, we cater corporate luncheons for groups like Enloe’s cancer survivors’ Celebration of Life, PG&E, Hignell and a twice-a-year fundraiser for the Jesus Center. We also

Our Italian Guy Warehouse holds up to 80 people, indoors and outdoors. It’s got a bar and dance floor inside, and lights and big heaters outside. Not many local places can host small corporate and group events with the privacy of not being part of a restaurant.

You also offer your kitchen for rent?

Yes. We’re mainly caterers, but many groups and food trucks rent from us, such as Chico State, Truck-a-Roni, Tacos El Pinolero and the Weiner Man hot dog cart. They use our stoves, barbecues, coolers and freezer.

This past week has been a doozy. And I think I can say that on behalf of everyone, whether Inauguration Day brought with it fear or optimism for what lies ahead.

After such an emotionally charged election season, witnessing the changing of the guard was likewise emotional.

One thing I’ve noticed this presidential year that sets it apart is the fiery passion it has ignited in so many people. I love it! And while I fall more in the fear category above, this individual and community empowerment that’s washed over America is reason enough for some optimism. So, when I read the impassioned email sent out by Klean Kanteen CEO and President Jim Osgood on the eve of the inauguration, I felt a sense of pride for being part of this special community.

The overall message of Osgood’s letter was to rally the community around the common cause of fighting against injustice, whether it be through activism, with one’s wallet or, in the case of local businesses, joining the B Corp movement.

(According to bcorporation.net, B Corps are “for-profit companies certified by the nonprofit B Lab to meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.” In addition to Klean Kanteen, locally, ChicoBag is also a B Corp.)

“This is what we stand for,” Osgood writes. “United in cause and inspired by action. As a global business committed to positive social change, we will not cower behind fear-based tactics and we will not be silenced. We are stronger and more committed to our mission than ever.

“Above all, we urge you to organize, to gather together, mobilize and use your voice. Your voice matters. You can make a powerful difference with simple, daily choices. As they say, ‘vote with your wallet’—buy brands that reflect you and what you believe in.”

I am right there with him. It’s not always the most economical choice to support businesses based on their social or environmental values, but sometimes that choice is more important than money. So, go forth, dear readers. In this time of uncertainty, spend your money thoughtfully. Support businesses you believe in and keep your dollars out of hands that could do you harm. The time is now.

In other news After 33 years in business, local children’s clothing store FKO (For Kids Only) has announced it’s preparing to shut its doors on East Avenue in Chico.

The shop’s Facebook page explains the closure, expected at the end of April, is due to a rash of break-ins this past year and an offer from Chuck Patterson to purchase the property to expand the car dealership. Loyalists, don’t fret: FKO’s Oroville location is still going strong.

Pack that rV I was over at Gold Country Casino last week and ran into Grant Townsend, director of marketing for the casino, who informed me that the swath of land under development just east of the main building is slated to become an RV park. Considering its proximity to the lake, it makes perfect sense. No camp sites, though; just recreational vehicles. Just don’t bet your boat on Blackjack.

REJECT AND RESIST On California’s moral obligation to oppose Donald Trump • BY SASHA ABRAMSKY

O

n Jan. 20, the unthinkable became reality, with Donald Trump assuming power as the nation’s 45th president. This is a man who coarsened every aspect of the political debate during more than a year of campaigning, who befriended bigots of every stripe and perfected the art of shameless demagoguery—a man who gloried in his abilities to get the military to embrace torture and collective punishment, and who reveled in the violence his mob could inflict on political opponents, has assumed supreme power.

There’s no way to sugarcoat this: It is a global calamity—an implosion of the ideals of the open society, and a gut-punch to what is left of the Enlightenment and the universalist political dream.

Trump’s election puts the nuclear codes in the hands of a bully, a thug, a man with the personality of a barely adolescent teen and with the hubris to think that his brand of instinct-based politics can do no wrong. The potential for an irreparable disaster is vast. And, even if we avoid a nuclear cataclysm, Trump’s election and the totalitarian, explicitly racist culture he seeks to impose likely will see a vast corrosion of American soft power, as the democratic world turns its back in horror at the degraded spectacle of his presidency.

And so, in 2017, the global community stands at a moment of utter peril as the United States comes to be led by a team of generals, businessmen and hucksters, hostile to the principles of the United Nations, and as the global alliances—that, for all their fault, did end up avoiding direct conflicts between the great, nucleararmed powers for 70 years—and trade agreements of the post-World War II era fade into obsolescence.

So much has changed, and so fast. Those October days, when Trump lost three debates in a row—not just lost, but was obliterated—when his sordid, creepy verbal sexual assault tape was dominating the news, and when respected pundits were predicting a blowout victory for Hillary Clinton, seem decades rather than mere months ago.

How do we in California—a state that voted overwhelmingly against Trump’s agenda, and that helped propel Clinton to her 3 million vote edge over Trump in the popular vote—resist Trumpism?

The answer is we must stand unified and uncompromising in our opposition: from the governor through to the Legislature and the attorney general; from the mayors and council members of our state’s great, cosmopolitan, multiethnic, multireligious

18

JANUARY 26, 2017

cities to the regents, chancellors and presidents of our universities; from people in the streets and workers in their workplaces; we in California have a moral obligation to say no. And to say it again and again and again, as loudly and creatively as we can over the coming weeks, months and years.

We will not be cowed by Trump’s bullying tactics and his mob-rallying rhetoric that defines “the people” as those who support him and “enemies” as those who oppose him. We will not cooperate with federal attempts to deport millions, to unleash the full power of the state against workers fighting for a living wage, to deprive millions of health care, to unleash new arms races upon the world. We will not collaborate with morally repugnant policies such as the creation of registries of Muslim residents or the dismantling of vital environmental regulations. We will not stand silent in the face of systemic injustice—be it directed against Dream Act students on our campuses or Muslim families facing a stream of wrath directed at them from the presidential bully pulpit.

We are, in California—and, for that matter, in Oregon and Washington, too—in a strong position to resist this agenda every step of the way. We are populous, liberal states, with the political muscle to fight Trump in the courts; with the economic muscle to hold out against federal efforts to defund programs in states and cities that refuse cooperation with, say, massive roundups of immigrants; and with the cultural clout to showcase an alternative, more inclusive vision than that about to be peddled by the feds. We have a clutch of liberal billionaire entrepreneurs and technology investors who could, should they so choose, financially support school districts or universities that lose federal dollars for declaring that they will be “safe havens” or “sanctuaries” for immigrants.

None of this is meant to be pollyannaish. But it is meant to point out an obvious truth: that as much of the country turns its back on refugees, withdraws state protections from vulnerable groups—be they members of the LGBT community, or young women seeking access to abortions or other medical assistance—wages a de facto war on the environment and so on, California can and will continue to work aggressively to protect the integrity of its air, water and land, will welcome immigrants, and will continue to extend protections to minorities.

Because of this, ever more people will seek out states like California as havens in a hostile, backward-looking America. It’s entirely possible, as a result, that our state will see a fascinating political and cultural renaissance, that the horrors of Trumpism will actually propel California further leftward. It’s likely that our campuses will become as active as they were a half-century ago, and that our cities will see mass street protests.

The middle doesn’t drop out of powerful socioeconomic systems very often. And, when it does, the results are terrifying—as witnessed in revolutionary Russia after October 1917, or in Germany as the Weimar Republic collapsed into Nazism.

That is what has happened in the United States with Trump’s rise and now his assumption of the presidency. The old order, from the two main political parties, to the bipartisan foreign policy consensus, to the authority wielded by many establishment news outlets and the old federal bureaucratic structures—those that guided the United States during its hyperpower, internationalist decades—are now at the mercy of a Trump who is both crassly inward-looking and, at the same time, ruthlessly nationalistic.

The American Dream, as it was embodied in Emma Lazarus’ poem “The New Colossus,” carved into the Statue of Liberty, and as it was thought of and looked to as a source of inspiration throughout the 20th century, cannot co-exist with Trumpite politics and culture. If it is to survive, it is going to do so in states such as California—states that resist both the violence of Trumpism and also the shrunken sense of human possibility encoded in its political message. It is to states such as California that the heirs of Lazarus’ extraordinary vision will now have to look: “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

It’s a huge responsibility, but also a great opportunity. When this moment of madness—as it must be, assuming that Trump doesn’t unleash a nuclear Armageddon—ends, the West Coast will be at the epicenter of the new country that will, over time, emerge. It will look different from the old country, less grandiose, less self-confident; it will, perhaps, end up somewhat like post-imperial Britain, as its population grapples with loss of status, loss of clout and loss of place in the world. This will, ultimately, be Trump’s sorry legacy: for no matter how militarily strong a country is, there is a limit to how much bluster and bullying the rest of the world will endure.

America won’t be made “great again” under Trump; rather, its role on the world stage will shrink. As it does, California’s own role, its lure, its attractiveness as a place of tolerance in an age of intolerance, will, I believe, correspondingly rise. Ω

We will not be cowed by Trump’s bullying tactics and his mob-rallying rhetoric that defines “the people” as those who support him and “enemies” as those who oppose him.

REVOLUTION NOW How to get involved in the resistance against Donald Trump I

n the coming weeks and months, Californians will be challenged to live up to their best, their highest ideals in the face of a relentless campaign of division, hatred and propaganda emanating from Trump’s administration. It will be tempting to sit back, hide one’s head in the sand and simply try to wish away the storm. That’s not good enough. We must be vigilant, engaged, committed and determined to resist.

Here are five call-to-action steps Californians can—and should—take in the next four years: 1. Don’t shy away from the fray: We must make our voices heard and our protests seen. Nonviolent resistance—demonstrations, pickets and so on— will be vital in keeping the progressive flame alive in an era of intolerance.

2. Engage in consumer boycotts: Companies that collaborate with Trump’s agenda—taking part, say, in the building of Muslim registry

databases—must know that empowered consumers will hit their bottom line in response.

3. Go on the political offensive: Create a better, fairer counternarrative by embracing workplace protection laws, a higher minimum wage and universal health care. As the remnants of the Great Society and the New Deal come under sustained assault, progressives must convince voters that their policy ideas are better and more socially just.

4. Create space: Turn houses of worship, university campuses, schools and local neighborhoods into de facto sanctuaries, places where communities will work to protect immigrants and that will be readily mobilized. Do this via smartphone and social media messaging as a way to resist roving deportation squads, vigilantes and those willing to inflict violence on Muslims and other targeted minorities.

5. Build a counterculture: Begin envisioning a true, across-the-board alternative to the Trumpian world by creating health clinics that will provide care to those who stand to lose their health insurance; finding ways to keep private funds flowing to organizations such as Planned Parenthood as federal funds are withdrawn; creating consumer networks to support companies that pay their workers a living wage and provide decent benefits; creating art that stresses our common humanity rather than buying into Trump’s divide-and-rule strategy; making consumer choices that help rather than hurt the environment during an era in which the federal government will be waging a war on the environment.

Californians can do this. We are big enough to create our own narrative—and to draw much of the country into our progressive orbit.

WALKING

t’s official. Last Friday (Jan. 20), real estate magnate and reality TV personality Donald Trump took the oath of office as the 45th president of the United States. The new administration has already released a set of “alternative facts” to contest the reality that attendance at Trump’s swearing-in ceremony was much lower than it has been in recent years, and the new POTUS seems unmoved by large-scale Inauguration Day protests that took place world-wide on Friday and Saturday (Jan. 21).

Saturday’s Women’s March on Washington and its sister marches across the country are being hailed as the largest single day of protest in American history, with conservative estimates reporting that more than 2.6 million people participated. Locally, thousands flocked to the Chico City Plaza.

March organizers estimated at least 3,000 people attended the event, which City Councilman Randall Stone called “the largest [political] gathering I’ve seen in my 23 years in Chico.”

Additionally, many locals traveled to Women’s Marches in Sacramento and beyond.

The Women’s March began at 10:30 a.m.

Saturday and attracted an estimated 3,000 people to Chico’s streets.

Fimbres and Segovia, both originally from Los Angeles, have lived in Portland since the 1990s, and have played big roles in the music scene, even as venues continue to get squeezed out. In fact, Máscaras has kept the longstanding tradition of basement shows a thing in Portland, even as rising rents hinder the scene.

“We try and keep it real,” said Segovia, pointing out that, while musically Máscaras pulls from many influences, their ethnicities are important to the identity of the band (Segovia is El Savadorian, Craig is Native American and Fimbres is Mexican). They’ve even dubbed their music “maximalist indigenous rock.”

There is a looseness to Máscaras, both musically and in the way they interact with one another. Add a couple of palomas, and it’s nothing but laughs and hugs. Fimbres is the gregarious leader, his

drumming at times the lead instrument.

Segovia is measured and thoughtful, while Craig is sweet and self-effacing. And if you listen to their individual parts separately you’d almost think they were playing different songs. It’s pretty stunning.

The trio went into Máscaras with zero preconceived ideas of what the music would sound like. Some songs, including the scorching Dick Dale nod “Burgers & Balrog,” date back to the band’s earliest jam sessions. It’s been somewhat of a learning curve for both Segovia and Craig, the latter of whom had taken a three-year break from playing.

“Papi taught me to be a better bass player,” said Craig. “I’m constantly counting.”

That’s not a joke—keeping up with the spazzy, jazz-and-Cumbia-influenced Fimbres is no easy feat. Craig can sometimes be seen tapping his foot during shows as his legs move along to his walking bass lines. Segovia’s been playing multiple instruments for most his life, and even he admits that Máscaras has pushed his guitar playing.

“I have to adapt,” said Segovia, turning to his drummer. “You’re like a roller coaster, and I have to hold on.”

Two local plays hit home

Tship,explore the father-son relationone of the oldest tropes in wo four-character plays that

theater (think the Greek tragedy Oedipus Rex), opened locally last weekend. The by similarity ends Robert Speer there, however; rober tspe er@ these plays could newsrev iew.c om hardly be less alike.

Taylor Mac’s Reviews: Hir, at the Blue Hir shows at the Blue Room, Thurs.-Sat., Room Theatre 7:30 p.m., through in Chico, is a Feb. 4. present-day porTickets: $14.99 trait of a family Blue Room Theatre whose members 139 W. First St. 895-3749 are so unmoored in their thinking Of Kites and Kings and behavior that shows at the play goes Theatre on the Ridge, beyond realism Thurs.-Sat., 7:30 p.m.; Sun., 2 p.m., through to what its author Feb. 12. calls “absurd Tickets: $12-$18 realism.” At Theatre on times horrific, the Ridge at times hilari3735 Neal Road ous, it’s unlike 877-5760 anything you’ve seen before.

It begins as Isaac Connor (Jonah Nilsson) comes home after three years as a Marine in Afghanistan, where he worked in “mortuary affairs,” recovering body parts for burial. “I pick up guts. Exploded guts,” he says.

All Isaac wants is to be home and sleep in his own bed.

So much for sentimentality.

Home is not what it once was, to put it mildly.

Isaac’s father, Arnold (Bruce

Dillman), has had a stroke and is in a stupor, thanks in part to the estrogen his wife, Paige (Leesa Palmer), feeds him in his “shakyshake” to make him as docile as his violence once made her. Now she’s treating the home like it’s a garbage dump—there’s debris everywhere—just to piss off Arnold, who used to beat her when he thought it wasn’t neat enough.

And Isaac’s teenage sister, Maxine, is transitioning to become a man named Max (Justin Torres). Plus he’s sleeping in Isaac’s bed, relegating Isaac to the couch.

These brief descriptions don’t do the characters justice. They are a magnificently warped lot, and collectively they summon up many of society’s wrenching social changes, especially around issues of sexual identity, patriarchal dominance, and female power.

Directed by Joyce Henderson with her usual flair, and performed by four outstanding actors playing difficult roles, Hir is a mind-bending tale of dysfunction writ large.

The Connors are like no family you know, but there’s a little of them in all of us.

Meanwhile, Paradise’s Theatre on

the Ridge is presenting Of Kites and Kings, Grass Valley playwright Gary Wright’s historical comedy about Benjamin Franklin (Christopher Jones) and his illegitimate son William (Andy Hafer). Mirroring their relationship is the one between William and his illegitimate son Temple

(Addison Turner).

The word “kites” in the title refers to Ben Franklin’s legendary electricity experiment with a kite, at which William was the only other person present. Three scenes in the play are of them out in a storm, waiting for lightning to strike.

The word “kings” refers to the fact that, during the Revolutionary War, father and son found themselves on opposing sides, with William—who attended school in England— remaining loyal to the English king, while his father became one of this nation’s founders.

Did I mention this is a comedy?

It is, thanks mostly to the character Polly Stevenson, proprietor of the boarding house where Ben Franklin lives during his long stay in England. All of the actors in this production do excellent work, but Samantha Shaner, who plays Polly, truly shines. As the narrator of the play, Polly often speaks directly to the audience, sharing her bawdy fantasies and poking fun at herself and others. She’s larger than life, and Shaner embodies her brilliantly.

Polly also is half of the one romantic relationship in the play, that between her and William. Her long unrequited love for him is one of the drivers that move the play forward. In the end, though, Of Kites and Kings is about the pull of history and how it can overwhelm the love of sons for their fathers. □

persona, for example, McAvoy has a memorable dance scene, a welcomed funny break in the movie.

And one of the personalities plays a big part in taking the film into realms beyond psychological thriller.

McAvoy even saves what could have been a hokey final moment by fully committing to some Shyamalan lines that represent the screenwriter at his most obvious. He delivers his final major monologue with such ferocious and fully invested energy we just buy into it.

In short, McAvoy’s work here should go into the annals of great psycho performances alongside Anthony Perkins in Psycho, Jack Nicholson in The Shining and Kathy Bates in Misery.

Quickly becoming a new kind of “scream queen,” Taylor-Joy has now anchored two masterful horror films within a year of each other. She has an amazing array of expressions, and Shyamalan takes advantage of this. Rather than shrieking her face off as the terrorized often do in horror movies, Taylor-Joy is a restrained, conflicted kind of horrified. What she lacks in volume she makes up in intensity.

Following up her terrific performance in The Edge of Seventeen, a solid Richardson takes the normally vain “popular” character in horror films, and gives her a lot of depth and smarts. Betty Buckley does equally well as a therapist trying to help the McAvoy characters handle their afflictions. Shyamalan himself shows up for a fun cameo—and stick around for the credits, which include a pretty powerful Easter egg.

Split is one of Shyamalan’s best, and proof that we weren’t all crazy back when The Sixth Sense teased at his promise of being able to do great things behind a camera. □

Barry Jenkins’ Moonlight really is something special. Its subject matter (a kid growing up black and gay in rough parts of Miami and environs) sounds provocative at first, but what’s most extraordinary about this small, sharp, emotionally evocative movie is less a matter of social provocations than of the quiet, empathetic attention paid to emotional lives persisting, just barely, against a tide of grim circumstances. The central figure in all this is a boy named Chiron, and his story is a matter of episodes from three different phases of his young life—elementary school, when he’s known as “Little” (played by Alex Hibbert); high school, when he goes by his given name (and is played by Ashton Sanders); and young adulthood, when, after a stretch in prison, he calls himself “Black” (played by Trevante Rhodes).

Hidden Figures

Katherine Johnson, one of the most brilliant mathematicians of the last century, gets the movie her life’s story deserves with Hidden Figures, an entertaining and enlightening look at her—and her cohorts’—decades of contributions to NASA and space flight starting in the late-1950s.

Johnson was part of a segregated wing of mathematicians who did the work that actual computers do today. The movie depicts the humiliation she and two other historical black figures (Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson) went through while solving equations that helped put men safely into space and return them to their families.

Taraji P. Henson plays Johnson, the “smart one” who astronaut John Glenn personally demanded check the coordinates before his historical 1962 flight around the Earth launched. Henson is perfection in the role, depicting Johnson as the awesome nerd she is. The film only scratches surface of what Johnson, Vaughan and Jackson accomplished and endured, but it does bring their historical significance to light.

Cold nights are for barleywine

the e c n e i r e p x E ru! e P f o s e t s a T

is the classic refreshment of Iaice,summer day, the ideal brew of f a light and zesty lager, cold as

a cold winter evening should be something at the by opposite end of Alastair the beer spectrum.

Bland Sure enough, January, February and March are traditionally the months when breweries release what might be the king of craft beers—the barleywine.

This rich and delicious style, born long ago in Britain, is usually honey- to amber-colored, often quite sweet, and approaches wine levels of alcohol (hence the name).

Sierra Nevada’s Bigfoot barleywine contains more than 9 percent alcohol by volume, and some barleywines—especially modern American ones—go as high as 15 percent or more.

Traditional British barleywines are softer on the hops and heavier on the candy and caramel notes.

Anchor’s Old Foghorn—one of the first barleywines brewed in the United States, in 1975—was modeled after British beers encountered by the San Francisco brewery’s owners as they toured England’s pub country, seeking brewing inspiration. Old Foghorn, on the low end of the scale at 9 percent alcohol by volume, has retained its gentlemanly composure even through the American extreme-brewing craze of the past decade or so.

Elsewhere, American barleywines have become a recognized style, bigger, stronger, and bitterer than the original English renditions. Dogfish Head in Delaware, for example, makes a ferocious

beast called Olde School, which is brewed with dates and figs and weighs in at 15 percent ABV. Many others measure 12 percent and 13 percent, and increasingly popular among brewers is to age barleywines prior to bottling in wooden barrels that once contained whiskey, rum or wine. Bigfoot— which has become a popular style for Sierra Nevada to experiment with as part of the brewery’s expanded barrel-aging program—is one of most extreme of Americanstyle barleywines. The beer is famously bitter, so aggressively hopped that it could just as well be categorized as a double IPA. But whereas IPAs are best consumed fresh from the tanks, barleywines originated as beers for the cellar, to last through the cold months. They served as a source of calories for people for whom solid food may not have been a guaranteed asset in the winter. Brewers quickly discovered that barleywines, better than nearly any other beer style, can endure the passage of months—and years—with grace.

That is, rather than grow skunky or sour like a forgotten lager in the basement, barleywines mature and grow. Their easy-drinking sweetness of youth turns thick and chewy,

with elderly specimens exhibiting wonderful flavors of caramel, vanilla, dried figs, and fudge.

The presence of the word “old” in the names of so many current barleywines reflects the tradition of keeping these beers in the cellar.

With bitterly hopped barleywines like Bigfoot, the changes brought about by time are especially dramatic: the hops fade quickly as the malt character develops. Tastings of aged Bigfoot are popular among many beer aficionados, who may sample several vintages side by side to study like scientists the dramatically different stages of maturity.

What barleywines to try?

There are many fine choices on the shelves of better beer stores including Stone Old Guardian, Lagunitas’ Olde GnarlyWine, 21st Amendment’s Lower DeBoom and Firestone Walker’s Helldorado.

Meanwhile, Anchor’s Old Foghorn and Sierra Nevada’s Bigfoot (including big bottles of whiskeybarrel-aged Bigfoot with ginger added) are still around as well— but once the cold, rainy days begin to give way to more sunshine, stash unused bottles of barleywine in a cool place until next winter.

They’ll be waiting. □

Why Viagra Is Failing Men Paid Advertisement

ADVERTISEMENT

Soaring demand expected for new scientific advance made just for older men. Works on both men’s physical ability and their desire in bed.

By Harlan S. Waxman Health News Syndicate New York – If you’re like the rest of us guys over 50; you probably already know the truth… Prescription ED pills don’t work! Simply getting an erection doesn’t fix the problem” says Dr. Bassam Damaj, chief scientific officer at the world famous Innovus Pharma Laboratories.

As we get older, we need more help in bed. Not only does our desire fade; but erections can be soft or feeble, one of the main complaints with prescription pills.

Besides, they’re expensive… costing as much as $50.00 each Plus, it does nothing to stimulate your brain to want sex. “I don’t care what you take, if you aren’t interested in sex, you can’t get or keep an erection. It’s physiologically impossible,” said Dr. Damaj.

MADE JUST FOR MEN OVER 50 But now, for the first time ever, there’s a pill made just for older men. It’s called Vesele®. A new pill that helps you get an erection by stimulating your body and your brainwaves. So Vesele® can work even when nothing else worked before.

The new men’s pill is not a drug. It’s something completely different Because you don’t need a prescription for Vesele®, sales are exploding. The maker just can’t produce enough of it to keep up with demand. Even doctors are having a tough time getting their hands on it. So what’s all the fuss about?

WORKS ON YOUR HEAD AND YOUR BODY The new formula takes on erectile problems with a whole new twist. It doesn’t just address the physical problems of getting older; it works on the mental part of sex too. Unlike the expensive prescriptions, the new pill stimulates your sexual brain chemistry as well. Actually helping you regain the passion and burning desire you had for your partner again. So you will want sex with the hunger and stamina of a 25-year-old.

THE BRAIN/ERECTION CONNECTION Vesele takes off where Viagra® only begins. Thanks to a discovery made by 3 Nobel-Prize winning scientists; Vesele® has become the first ever patented supplement to harden you and your libido. So you regain your desire as well as the ability to act on it.

In a 16-week clinical study; scientists from the U.S.A. joined forces to prove Nitric Oxide’s effects on the cardio vascular system. They showed that Nitric Oxide could not only increase your ability to get an erection, it would also work on your brainwaves to stimulate your desire for sex. The results were remarkable and published in the world’s most respected medical journals.

THE SCIENCE OF SEX The study asked men, 45 to 65 years old to take the main ingredient in Vesele® once a day. Then they were instructed not to change the way they eat or exercise but to take Vesele® twice a day. What happened next was remarkable. Virtually every man in the study who took Vesele® twice a day reported a huge difference in their desire for sex. In layman’s terms, they were horny again.

They also experienced harder erections that lasted for almost 20 minutes. The placebo controlled group (who received sugar pills) mostly saw no difference.

AN UNEXPECTED BONUS: The study results even showed an impressive increase in the energy, brainpower and memory of the participants.

SUPPLY LIMITED BY OVERWHELMING DEMAND “Once we saw the results we knew we had a gamechanger said Dr. Damaj. We get hundreds of calls a day from people begging us for a bottle. It’s been crazy. We try to meet the crushing demand for Vesele®.”

DOCTOR: “VESELE® PASSED THE TEST” “As a doctor, I’ve studied the effectiveness of Nitric

New men’s pill overwhelms your senses with sexual desire as well as firmer, long-lasting erections. There’s never been anything like it before.

Oxide on the body and the brain. I’m impressed by the way it increases cerebral and penile blood flow. The result is evident in the creation of Vesele®. It’s sure-fire proof that the mind/body connection is unbeatable when achieving and maintaining an erection and the results are remarkable” said Dr. Damaj.

HERE’S WHAT MEN ARE SAYING • I’m ready to go sexually and mentally.

• More frequent erections in the night (while sleeping) and in the morning.

• I have seen a change in sexual desire.

• Typically take 1 each morning and 1 each night. Great stamina results!

• An increased intensity in orgasms.

• My focus (mental) has really improved… Huge improvement.

• Amazing orgasms!

• I really did notice a great improvement in my ability.

Celebrate World Music

T Sisters T Sisters Three-headed Sounds Enjoying the harmonies of the Tietjen sisters begs the question: “What would Alison Krauss sound like if she was flanked by two singing sisters?” The self-titled, second full-length from Oakland’s T Sisters retains the harmony-heavy folk-Americana stylings that have garnered the group rave live reviews, while sparking a wider appeal through more sophisticated songwriting.

The band has grown to six, adding lead guitar/mandolin, double bass and drums to the sisters—Chloe (vocals), Erika (vocals/guitar) and Rachel (vocals/guitar/banjo). But at its core are the seamless three-part vocal harmonies, and the 10-song disc includes multiple songs penned by each them. On the Celtic-flavored “Come Back Down,” Erika rejoices in romance: “Of the lovers I have entertained, You hit upon a string/Of a song that I never knew I had to sing.”

Meanwhile, Rachel’s contemplative, a capella “So It Goes” is a showcase for the trio’s vocals that helps us cope with a world in which “the wars rage on/all the blood and all the pain/and the song plays on.” T Sisters perform Sunday, Jan. 29, at Sierra Nevada Big Room.

The Nile Project | Feb. 19

Seven years after having gone missing, a young woman resurfaces. She was blind when she disappeared, now she’s not. She was Prairie before, now she asks to be called “The OA.” And instead of telling the story of her disappearance to her family, the cops, reporters or an FBI therapist, she confides in a group of mismatched strangers who are told to meet her nightly in an abandoned house. That is the very basic setup for The OA, an addictive eight-episode dose of supernatural mystery that Netflix dropped in December. Created by Zal Batmanglij and Brit Marling (who is mesmerizing as the sweet and trippy Prairie/OA), the show’s disjointed narrative moves all over the place— from the present to the past (all the way to Prairie’s childhood as well as through the terrifying reality of the circumstances surrounding her disappearance) and even to other dimensions. I recommend suspending disbelief and binging this weekend on this shocking, magical and bravely presented story.

88 Joshua Breakstone Capri records Subtitled “The Cello Quartet,” 88 features guitarist Joshua Breakstone in company with cellist Mike Richmond, bassist Lisle Atkinson and drummer Andy Watson in a collection of nine tunes, eight of them composed by some of his favorite pianists. Like his 2014 Capri CD, With the Wind and Rain in Your Hair, Breakstone’s string section (cello, bass and guitar—14 strings!) gives the music an unusual vibe. The tempos range from the super hot (Cedar Walton’s “Black”) to the meditative calm of Mal Waldron’s “Soul Eyes,” on which Breakstone’s poignant playing has the clarity of rain drops gently falling into a reflecting pool.

Richmond’s pizzicato cello work shines throughout, especially on “Eighty-Eight,” a Breakstone original he “dedicated to the pianists of the world,” and Barry Harris’ swaying “Lolita.” Among other delights here are an achingly slow version of Tadd Dameron’s “If You Could See Me Now,” a real beauty that’s followed by the intricately uptempo “Lennie’s Pennies” by Lennie Tristano.

ARTS DEVO

by Jason Cassidy • jasonc@newsreview.com

Feels It’s been a taxing week for us emotional meatbags. arts dEVo is exhausted by it all. As I process what it means to live in a country with the divisive donald Trump as its leader, I am buoyed by the woke masses and the powerful energy of the millions of women who marched in protest of the president and in solidarity with those whose civil rights are threatened.

I am the only brother of four sisters, a classic mama’s boy who was formed by a team of aunts and grandmas and one mighty, tireless mom. Lots of love and validation. That’s the way forward—coming together instead of creating division, pulling close instead of pushing away. If we can add empathy for the disenfranchised, working-class conservatives who voted for Trump, give value to their plights and some validation to their place as brothers and sisters in this wonderful, crazy, mess of a country, we can unify and pull away from those who manipulate and divide. liFe’s rich Pageant A new year, and a new slate of extra treats at Chico’s

little art house. First, this Saturday, Jan. 28, at 3 p.m., the Pageant Theatre will present a one-time showing of The Cult of JT LeRoy, the documentary about the intriguing literary scam perpetrated

by Laura albert. Albert wrote from the POV of the abused/neglected son of a lot lizard under the JT LeRoy moniker (in 2000’s sarah), and even hired her sister-in-law to play the part of the “author” in real life, complete with a backstory of teen prostitution and heroin addiction. Eventually, the ruse was discovered, but not before two more books and a few years of notorious celebrity for the enigmatic LeRoy. Director Marjorie sturm will be on hand to answer questions after the screening.

And starting next month, the Pageant is rolling out a new repertory series, featuring one or two classic films each weekend, and a print calendar previewing each month’s selections. February kicks off with The Cult of JT LeRoy 2001: a space odyssey (Feb. 5), followed by Eraserhead (Feb. 11), Harold and Maude (Feb. 12), The seventh seal (Feb. 19), The Holy Mountain (Feb. 25) and Bicycle Thieves (Feb. 26).

Jam on it Chico Comics Jam? Sounds pretty rad to me. Especially since the monthly get together at aBC Books (950 Mangrove Ave.) is open to all ages and all skill levels and supplies are provided (though you are welcome to bring extras). The intent is to get people together “to make and learn to create comics,” and all writers, artists and storytellers “who can hold a pen” are welcome. Saturday, Jan. 28, 1-4 p.m. in the Future, art will be cloned Just got word from artist, font wizard and all around sweet dude Max infeld that he and some of his fellow art pranksters are bringing back the Replication Machine. What’s the Replication Machine? It’s a machine that will be posted up at the Chico art Center in which a member of the public will place an item to be replicated. An artist from the team will then retrieve the object, create an original piece of art—a replication—and give it to the member of the public. That’s it. No cost. Free art! Infeld was part of the Chico state art Club that did the same project at the school in 2007, creating more than 100 “copies” and documenting the process with Polaroids.

Chico Art Center will replicate the Replication Machine during the month of March, starting March 3.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY For the week oF january 26, 2017 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Westward

Ho! is the name of a village in southwestern England. Its name is impressive because of the exclamation point. But it’s not as dramatic as that of the only town on earth with two exclamation points: Saint-Louisdu-Ha! Ha!, which is in Quebec. I invite you Aries folks to be equally daring. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you have a cosmic mandate and poetic license to cram extra !!!!s into all your writing and speaking, and even add them to the spelling of your name! Why? Because this should be one of the most exciting and ebullient phases of your astrological cycle—a time to risk showing just how enthusiastic and energetic you are!!!!!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The New

York Film Critics Circle named Casey Affleck the Best Actor of the year for his role in the film Manchester by the Sea. In his acceptance speech at the award ceremony, Affleck gave a dramatic reading of quotes by David Edelstein, a prominent critic who has criticized his work. “Mumbly and mulish,” was one of Edelstein’s jabs about Affleck. “Doesn’t have a lot of variety,” was another. A third: “Whenever I see Affleck’s name in a movie’s credits, you can expect a standard, genre B picture— slowed down and tarted up.” I suspect that in the coming weeks, Taurus, you may get a vindication comparable to Affleck’s. I suggest you have wicked fun with it, as he did.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The roulette

wheels at casinos in Monaco have 37 pockets. Eighteen are black, 18 are red, and one is green. On any particular spin, the ball has just less than half a chance of landing in a red or black pocket. But there was one night back in August of 1913, at the Casino de Monte-Carlo, when probability seemed inoperative. The little white ball kept landing on the black over and over again. Gamblers responded by increasingly placing heavy bets on red numbers. They assumed the weird luck would soon change. But it didn’t until the 27th spin. (The odds of that happening were 136,823,184 to 1.) What does this have to do with you? I suspect you’re in a comparable situation—the equivalent of about 20 spins into an improbable streak. My advice: Don’t bet on the red yet.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Born to a

religious mother on July 8, 1839, John D. Rockefeller amassed a fortune in the oil industry. Even in comparison to modern billionaires like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, he’s the richest American who ever lived. “God gave me the money,” he said on numerous occasions. Now I’m going to borrow the spirit of Rockefeller’s motto for your use, Cancerian. Why? Because it’s likely you will be the recipient of blessings that prompt you to wonder if the Divine Wow is involved. One of these may indeed be financial in nature. (P.S. Such boons are even more likely to transpire if you’re anchored in your sweet, dark wisdom and your holy, playful creativity.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): What influence do

you need most in your life right now? Are you suffering because you lack a particular kind of help or teaching? Would you benefit from having a certain connection that you have not yet figured out how to make? Is there a person or event that could heal you if you had a better understanding about how you need to be healed? The coming weeks will be a favorable time to get useful answers to these questions—and then take action based on what you discover.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The next two

weeks will be a favorable time to kiss the feet of helpful allies, but not to kiss the butts of clever manipulators. I also advise you to perform acts of generosity for those who will use your gifts intelligently, but not for those who will waste your blessings or treat you like a doormat.

Here’s my third point: Consider returning to an old fork in the road where you made a wrong turn, and then making the correct turn this time. But if you do, be motivated by bright hope for a different future rather than by sludgy remorse for your error.

by rob brezsny LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the begin-

ning was the wild cabbage. Our ancestors found that it had great potential as food, and proceeded to domesticate it. Over the centuries, they used selective breeding to develop many further variations on the original. Kale and kohlrabi were the first to appear. By the 15th century, cauliflower had been created. Broccoli came along a hundred years later, followed by Brussels sprouts. Today there are at least 20 cultivars whose lineage can be traced back to the wild cabbage. In my astrological opinion, you Libras are in a wild cabbage phase of your long-term cycle. In the coming months you can and should do seminal work that will ultimately generate an abundance of useful derivatives.

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

1733, workers finished building the New Cathedral in Salamanca, Spain. But if you go there today, you will see two seemingly modern elements on one facade: carvings of a helmeted astronaut and of a gargoyle licking an ice cream cone. These two characters were added by craftsmen who did renovations on the cathedral in 1992. I offer this vignette as metaphor for your life, Scorpio. It’s a favorable time to upgrade and refine an old structure in your life. And if you do take advantage of this opening, I suggest you add modern touches.

I suspect that in the coming weeks, you will be afforded opportunities to bend the rules in ways that could make life simpler, more pleasurable, and more successful— or all of the above. To help you deal with the issue of whether these deviations would have integrity, I offer you these questions: Would bending the rules serve a higher good, not just your selfish desires? Is there an approach to bending the rules that may ultimately produce more compassionate results than not bending the rules? Could you actually get away with bending the rules, both in the sense of escaping punishment and also in the sense of being loyal to your own conscience?

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

don’t necessarily guarantee that you will acquire paranormal powers in the coming weeks. I’m not saying that you will be able to foretell the future or eavesdrop on conversations from a half-mile away or transform water into whiskey-flavored coffee. But I do suspect that you will at least tap further into a unique personal ability that has been mostly just potential up until now. Or you may finally start using a resource that has been available for a long time. For best results, open your imagination to the possibility that you possess dormant magic.

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

London-based think tank does an annual study to determine which of the world’s countries offers the most freedom. The Legatum Institute measures indicators like civil liberties, social tolerance, and the power to choose one’s destiny. The current champion is Luxembourg. Canada is in second place. France is 22nd, the United States is 26th, and Italy 27th. Since I’m hoping you will markedly enhance your own personal freedom in the coming months, you might want to consider moving to Luxembourg. If that’s not an option, what else could you do? The time is ripe to hatch your liberation plans.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I love to

see dumpsters that have been decorated by graffiti artists. Right now there’s one by the side of a busy road that I often drive down. Its drab gray exterior has been transformed into a splash of cartoon images and scripts. Amidst signatures that look like “Riot Goof” and “Breakfast Toys” and “Sky Blooms,” I can discern a ninja rhinoceros and a gold-crowned jaguar and an army of flying monkeys using squirt guns to douse a forest fire. I suspect it’s a perfect time to for you to be inspired by this spectacle, Pisces. What dumpster-like situation could you beautify?

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

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

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

Love’s Real estate

Prop 60

If you are over the age of 55 you can reduce your property taxes when you buy a new home because you may qualify for the special tax break under Proposition 60.

• You can only use the transfer once in a lifetime.

It 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.

• The replacement property must be built or bought within 2 years of selling the original property.

The Proposition 60 tax benefit results in thousands of dollars of savings, and has helped people move into a new living situation when they need it most.

Here are the Proposition 60 rules: • You or your spouse must be at least 55 years of age when the original property was sold.

• The original property and new property must be within the same county.

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

• Your original property must be your primary residence and have been eligible for the homeowners’ exemption or disabled veterans’ exemption.

• Your replacement property must be your primary residence and must be eligible for the homeowners’ exemption or disabled veterans’ exemption.

If this Prop might work for you, take advantage. If you know someone over 55 and they need to change their living condition, let them know about Proposition 60 too. Watch their face as you tell them. The thought of saving on taxes will raise a smile, guaranteed.
