partnered with qualified homebuyers, volunteers and donors to build 32 affordable homes. While that may not sound like a large number, consider our building model that makes it all come together: a minimum of 4,000 volunteer hours, plus the human and financial capital from the families, Habitat, the city of Chico, local builders, donors, your neighbors and local civic by and faith groups.

and business owner, among others. One family told us, “We do not live in fear all the time. We know, no matter what, we can afford to pay our mortgage and we will have a home.”

The affordable housing picture has changed dramatically over the past quarter-century. The first decade, Habitat built homes solely with volunteers.

In 2004, we launched ReStore and started bringing in funding through the sale of new and used building supplies and household items, an effort that also diverts discarded items from our local landfill. In 2007, we hired our first director and staff to support the growing projects.

In the past, federal and state funds were dedicated to affordable housing. That was also a time when more affordable housing was available, and more people could afford it. Now, we face a challenge. One-third of people in Butte County pay over 50 percent of their income for housing costs in a seriously tight market. So, even as we celebrate these past 25 years, we focus on the future of Butte County.

Please enjoy our anniversary celebration events this year (check out buttehabitat.org for details), and join us as a building partner to help families build their own homes for another 25 years! □

Street and Chico First, the CN&R would like to give props to the groups for their work supporting the civil rights of homeless individuals and conducting community cleanups, respectively.

By giving food to homeless people at City Plaza, CFOTS is making a statement: that those folks have as much right to the public space as anyone else. Additionally important, however, especially during the winter, is the group’s distribution of life-saving gear to the unsheltered.

Meanwhile, by picking up trash, Chico First joins a long list of local groups and nonprofits, such as the Butte Environmental Council, which for decades has organized events to beautify our parks and waterways. During a cleanup in 2008, as the CN&R reported, BEC volunteers collected a whopping 10.5 tons of trash in five hours.

The next year, according to the first-ever local Point-in-Time Homeless Census and Survey, the county was home to 1,106 homeless folks, 668 of whom called Chico home. Out of the total population of those surveyed, 28 percent (or 310 individuals) were unsheltered (i.e., living outdoors).

Today, according to the latest survey results, gathered in 2017, Butte County is home to 1,983 homeless individuals. Chico’s number: 1,096, which includes 433 people in the unsheltered category. That means homelessness has nearly doubled countywide over the last decade. Breaking it down further, the number of people literally living on Chico’s streets today is 25 percent greater than the number of folks in that category throughout the entire county nine years ago.

Our community is in crisis. It has been for years, due to a perfect storm of events: the Great Recession (steep unemployment, widespread foreclosures, etc.), a resulting lack of construction and subsequent housing shortage, and an opioid epidemic that has struck every socioeconomic class (the effects of which are easier for those with money to conceal and address).

We get Chico First’s frustrations with the side effects, including panhandling and litter. We understand wanting to keep the environment “clean and safe.” But we also know that demonizing this already marginalized population isn’t the answer. Nor is making their lives more difficult by codifying laws targeting them, such as the proposal to outlaw food giveaways in the city center (as chronicled by Robert Speer in Newslines, page 8).

Indeed, Chico First members would be wise to expend their time and energy on efforts that are proven to mitigate homelessness. At the top of that list, based on a growing body of research, is housing first. That’s the model in which people are immediately placed into stable living environments—it’s at that point they are more likely to successfully address the underlying issues that led to life on the streets.

How to help? Here are some suggestions: Lobby for the city to support Simplicity Village, a proposed tiny house community; gather donations, including building materials, for that effort; volunteer with any of the many local groups (Chico Housing Action Team, Torres Community Shelter, Jesus Center) that have a history of housing the needy; and donate funding earmarked specifically for that cause.

We also suggest looking into the origins of America First, ostensibly the inspiration for the name Chico First. Hint: It was an isolationist political group during the era of World War II, and used in Ku Klux Klan literature decades earlier.

Until we make substantive progress putting people in homes, the members of Chico First and other cleanup groups will only find themselves returning time and again to the same locations to pick up refuse. That’s the pattern we’ve seen over the years as both liberal- and conservative-majority leadership in Chico have chosen the path of least resistance: criminalization.

In fact, it’s that mindset that led to the creation of Chico Friends on the Street in the first place (see “Out of sight, out of mind,” Cover story, Jan. 23, 2014). Speaking of that group, we’re thankful its members are there to remind us that we’re talking about human beings. Above all else, we ought not lose sight of that. □

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

More than a doll When I was a little girl, my toys of choice typically were equinerelated. My Little Pony and Breyer horses were among the favorites.

I also had a bunch of stuffed animals, including a giant white unicorn.

I wasn’t into Barbie and didn’t have any baby dolls, but in the second grade, there was one popular toy I couldn’t live without: a Cabbage Patch Kid. Like most of my peers—not only in the Bay Area where I grew up, but also around the country—the must-have toy of the early 1980s was that yarn-haired doll with the plastic face and fabric body. And that was the rub—there weren’t enough of them to meet demand.

The go-to place for Cabbage Patch Kids: Toys R Us. That’s where my mom went to purchase one and, after finding only empty shelves, was placed on an “adoption” waiting list. When Mom got a call at work that the cherubic-faced doll had arrived at the store, she left early to pick her up.

Recent reports that Toys R Us is closing nationwide usher in an end to an era. That news follows the closure of nearly 200 of the stores at the start of the year. For Gen-Xers like me, who grew up with the ubiquitous toy store, it’s about the nostalgia. Sure, you can find many of the same toys online, including on Amazon, the Grim Reaper of the brick-and-mortar retail segment, but surfing the web in no way compares to walking through a giant warehouse filled to the brim with playthings.

I’m especially disheartened for Toys R Us’ estimated 30,000 employees around the U.S., including those here in town. I’ve made my fair share of purchases at the East 20th Street retailer with my 6-year-old in tow. In fact, he asks to go there all the time.

Isaac Larian, CEO of the company that makes the Bratz dolls, is leading an effort to save the chain. He and other investors have committed $200 million to the effort and have set up a GoFundMe page (gofundme.com/helpsavetoysrus) to generate donations from the public to bid on the company through bankruptcy proceedings.

Their goal: $1 billion by a Memorial Day deadline to keep a majority of the 700-plus remaining locations open.

Considering such donations are basically gifts for a commercial operation (read: not tax-deductible), and don’t give donors any stake in the company, the fundraising drive seems like a Hail Mary.

As of the CN&R’s deadline, five days into the campaign, 1,645 people had pledged $49,000, an average of about $30 each. The odds of getting an additional nearly 27 million people to give a similar amount?

Pretty slim, I’d say.

I don’t recall the precise moment I first held Doris, a brunette who came with a birth certificate bearing that name, but she certainly was well-loved for years. Indeed, even after I outgrew her and my other childhood toys, she was among the special ones I kept stored away for decades. After several moves, though, and some prodding from my husband, I gave Doris to a local charity thrift store.

Honestly, I kind of regret that now. Call me sentimental, but that doll was more than fabric and plastic. It was a link to my childhood and a symbol of the lengths to which our loved ones will go to make us happy.

Melissa Daugherty is editor of the CN&R

One on the cover Re “Bloat” (Cover story, by Dennis Myers, March 22): In addition to the “thousand U.S. military installations encircling a planet that has only 200 countries,” the last Pentagon budget that was enacted contains a whopping $700 billion. We give billions of dollars to countries such as Saudi Arabia and Israel with its brutal occupation of the Palestinians. Only eight senators, including Bernie Sanders, voted against that budget. We have so many urgent problems in our country that we need to be spending this money on, including right here in Chico and Butte County.

As a general rule, I don’t believe in considering only one issue when voting, but this, along with having improved Medicare for all, are litmus tests to me. Public officials or candidates for office, including Democrats, who are not willing to oppose this wasteful war spending and support improved Medicare for all, don’t get my votes anymore. These are not just minor issues.

‘Shame and disappointment’ Re “Spot-on, Mr. Mayor” (Second & Flume, by Melissa Daugherty, March 22): I have been trying to find the words to describe my shame and disappointment in our illustrious mayor, after viewing the same TV news interview you mention in your column. You mimicked my sentiments eloquently while defining Sean Morgan’s narrow and naive comments regarding his community and constituents.

I would like to believe he represents the few and not the majority; however, he is in a position to represent and his lack of professionalism is an insult to the citizens of Chico. I am more embarrassed for him than I am disheartened he is an elected official in a community that upholds higher education. Sean Morgan does not represent me.

LETTERS c o n t i n u e d f r o m pa g e 5 for their human rights. While working alongside public defender Saul Henson, we have made numerous attempts to prevent the disenfranchised from being oppressed further. I also work at the Psychiatric Hospital Facility (PHF) where I support treatment for many who struggle with mental illness.

These are people who have families—brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers. They are humans who have needs. More criminalization will only lead to funding being misdirected while the homeless— including veterans and mentally ill individuals—go further into the shadows.

Valerie Sanz Chico

Chico First members and some individuals from the Jesus Center have turned the word compassion into a dirty word, and I resent it deeply.

They say it isn’t compassionate to share food with the hungry, except at designated pit stops, and, of course, the hungry must behave a certain way or “Oh well, maybe if you miss a few meals, you’d be rehabilitated.”

Hopefully, they don’t treat their children this way. They say it isn’t compassionate to hand out sleeping bags or blankets when it is cold and raining—and the list goes on.

These self-righteous, profitoriented Chico inhabitants should at least be honest enough to acknowledge that they don’t care about the poor. They just want the homeless to disappear from “polite” society, and compassion has nothing to do with it.

Sandra O’Neill Chico

Stand up, Christians Happy Easter to all Christians. I’m pissed at you. On one of the most significant days of your faith, I am thinking about the intelligence of our Founding Fathers, their insistence on the separation of church and state, and their brilliant ideas on freedom of religion. Freedom of religion intrinsically includes freedom from religion.

The policy of the U.S. cannot use faith-based logic, as has been proven by our head of the EPA, Scott Pruitt. His evangelical Christian belief informs him that climate science is a hoax because 6

These self-righteous, profit-oriented Chico inhabitants should at least be honest enough to acknowledge that they don’t care about the poor.

—Sandra o’neill

god gave the resources of Earth to mankind to use up, and somehow Jesus will make it all better in the end. He rants against and ends the EPA’s “regulations,” which are actually protections for U.S. citizens.

We have a president and local congressman who exemplify this selfish attitude, even as they have children and grandchildren who will have to deal with their profligacy.

It is time for real Christians to stand up against the people who have co-opted their religion with the foolishness that says, because you think you have the “correct” faith-based answers, you can impact my life and my body.

Rich Meyers Oroville

Five decades later Recently, NBC television broadcast a very interesting yet disturbing retrospective of the American civil rights movement of my youth [Hope & Fury: MLK, the Movement and the Media]. What disturbed me was how little has changed in five decades.

Black youth, sometimes unarmed, are still being killed by white law enforcement officers.

Those black youth may now be registered to vote, but they are also still dead. Law enforcement was the strong arm of a racist South in the 1960s. That strong arm still flails away today, but in nearly every state of this nation.

Ronald Angle Chico

Worse and worse In June 2015, when Donald Trump declared his candidacy, I laughed and said, “Well, it can’t get any worse than this!”

A year later, again in June, when Trump was nominated to run for president by the Republican Party, I shook my head, and said, “Well, it doesn’t get much worse than this.”

In November 2016, when Trump secured the presidency, I

angrily claimed, “It’ll never get worse than this!”

But then, as each week brought new issues—Access Hollywood; Charlottesville; Comey; Bannon; Russian election meddling; “I’m rubber and you’re glue” dialogue with Kim Jong Un; Stormy Daniels; etc.—I worried, “Could it really get any worse?”

And now, each evening I watch the day’s news and go to bed saying, “It absolutely can’t get much worse than this.”

But by the time the morning tweets are posted, it always is.

Dean Carrier Paradise

Dear Mr. Carrier Re “Two on guns” (Letters, by Dean Carrier, March 15): Mr. Carrier’s argument that “AR-15s don’t fare very well against tanks, aircraft and napalm,” suggesting American citizens should relinquish theirs, is an allor-nothing fallacy of logic AR-15s are not to resist an armed assault from Washington, D.C., any more than Kentuckians with muskets would be. Politicians may lust for absolute power, but 100 million armed Americans are a daily reminder that America belongs to the people. The Second Amendment is a deterrent, not a challenge to a fight.

As to the Ukraine, Obama laughed at Mitt Romney for saying Russia was a threat. Obama whispered to Dmitry Medvedev (paraphrased), “I’ll be more flexible when I’m re-elected.” Obama’s foreign policy was to “Lead from (offering your?) behind,” and he bent over complacently as Russia violated the Ukraine.

Obama sent no armaments because (paraphrased), “Russia has the high-ground, so sending them would be futile.”

But Ukrainians fight on with AR-15-type weapons, weapons somewhere between all-or-nothing, because they prefer independence over subjugation: more like the French Resistance than some “cheese-eating surrender monkey.”

It isn’t one world, Mr. Carrier; not yet. Consider the current global uncertainties before you wish for a disarmed American populace and pen your own screenplay to Brave New World.

Peter Bridge Ord Bend

Generation PTSD We are the only country in the world to have raised over a generation of youth with or at risk for [post-traumatic stress disorder] simply from going to school, constantly fearing that their school or they themselves might be the next target. And we can’t blame this fear of present danger on an outside threat; we have brought it on ourselves.

It is truly past time for a change in our gun laws. We can’t bring back the victims who died because of lax and shameful gun laws, but we can honor them by working for change at all levels.

Marcia Moore Chico

Taxes = higher prices It didn’t take very long for the 2018 gas tax and car registration increase to affect our quality of life—I’ve already noticed higher prices on staple groceries. Today the news confirmed as much— Yoplait and Cheerios are up in price “due to transportation costs.”

This tax increase has no “lowincome subsidy.” Poor families will pay a higher percentage of their income, just to get to work and buy food.

Gas tax proponents claim the money will go to fix roads, but according to the San Diego Tribune, only half the money will be dedicated to traffic infrastructure. “The other half of the money would be spent largely at the discretion of local municipalities on a variety of projects.”

The city of Chico already receives gas tax from the state, as well as over a million dollars a year in “franchise fees” from PG&E, Comcast and Waste Management, for use of city streets, and look at the condition of our streets.

California registered voters can still sign the gas tax repeal petition that is being circulated by Reform California. Signature gatherers have been working at Chico

Safeway stores. You can also download the petition to print, sign and send in at reformcalifornia.org.

Ignored by CPD Last Friday (March 23), four cars had their windows smashed and belongings taken at the Upper Bidwell Park Chico Canyon Trailhead at the top of Centennial Avenue and Chico Canyon Road.

I returned from my trail run to find broken glass inside my car, including in my infant daughter’s car seat. Two pair of sunglasses were stolen, which cost less than having the window replaced.

Another victim had a bottle of sunscreen taken. At least two more cars were hit the following day.

I called Chico PD immediately and was told to file a report online; no officer would be coming.

The dispatcher seemed unphased and uninterested. The Chico ER showed no interest and is aware of high crime at this location.

This parking lot is popular among Chico locals and visitors.

It is very visible with a residence across the street and next to the entrance of a private gated community. There is no signage at the parking area warning of the high crime rate; however, the abundance of broken glass and trash suggest it.

I would like to see Chico PD do a much better job of protecting citizens and taking our losses seriously.

NEWSLINES DOWNSTROKE highway 70 to be widened

One of the deadliest roads in the North State, Highway 70, will soon be widened to five lanes from Oroville to Marysville, having received nearly $500 million in funding as of March 22, according to Butte County Association of Governments Executive Director Jon Clark.

About $165 million, awarded by the California Transportation Commission, will be applied to Butte County, widening the route from Ophir Road south of Oroville to the Butte County line, with construction beginning in spring 2020.

The road will include a center turn lane and 8-foot shoulders. There will be a 9-mile gap from the county line to Laurellen Road that will be two lanes with a center turn lane until an additional nearly $36 million in federal funding can be secured, Clark said.

Accidents have claimed 35 lives along the stretch from Oroville to Marysville since 2010, including 13 in 2017 alone.

For the win

Students at Pleasant Valley High School have something to cheer about after the varsity boys basketball team clinched a 70-65 win over Riverside’s Notre Dame High School at the Sacramento Kings’ Golden 1 Center on Saturday (March 24).

As the CIF Division III championship game, it marked the first time in school history that the boys basketball team took home the state title, according to news reports.

The Vikings girls also competed Saturday for the state title, but fell to the Redondo Union Seahawks, 57-42. The champions reportedly will be honored at an upcoming City Council meeting and during the annual downtown Pioneer Day Parade in early May.

Mobile crisis teaM introduced

The members of Butte County Behaviorial Health’s Mobile Crisis Unit were introduced Tuesday at the Chico Police Department, a partner in a venture aimed at assisting those in Chico who struggle with mental illness.

Counselors Pam DeCamp and Manson Petty will work overlapping shifts, with someone on duty seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., responding to mental health emergencies with police officers to de-escalate tense situations, provide emotional support and engage in crisis intervention and conflict resolution.

DeCamp and Petty also will work proactively, providing outreach at critical places like homeless shelters and following up with Behavioral Health patients.

Behavioral Health Director Dorian Kittrell (pictured) said the county has received $720,000 in Mental Health Services Act funding to keep the program active for at least three years.

under pressure Weekly gathering supports homeless folks’ right to public space

Twouldn’t even though they knew the food get there for another hour. By the hey began arriving as early as 11 a.m.,

time Patrick Newman backed his pickup loaded with dozens of brown-bag lunches story and into one of the parking photo by spaces on Main Street Robert Speer at the southeast corner r ob e r t s pe e r@ of the City Plaza, their n ew srev i ew. c o m numbers had swelled to 60 or more.

It was a convivial crowd on Sunday (March 25), with lots of shout-outs and hugs being given. Most of the people were homeless, but there were several housed folks in the group—Chico State professors, several activists and former City Councilwoman Mary Flynn among them.

They are members of Chico Friends on the Street, a group Newman founded in January 2016 to provide free lunches every Sunday.

They quickly unloaded the food— which included burritos wrapped in foil and packaged trail mix, among other items—and the homeless people began distributing it among themselves.

Recently CFOTS and its lunches have come under attack by people who want the City Council to pass an ordinance banning the food giveaway. A group has formed—called Chico First and claiming more than 1,600 members—to work collectively toward a cleaner Chico by

doing neighborhood cleanups. The group has targeted CFOTS’ lunches and put pressure on the council to ban such food distribution.

Several Chico First members, led by Rob Berry—who on his Facebook page is described as a “semi-retired attorney and business adviser living in Chico”— appeared before the council at its March 20 meeting to argue for an ordinance.

The giveaways are “a misuse and abuse of our public spaces,” Berry charged.

Another member, Josh Pitts, an ambassador of the downtown propertybased improvement district, said the giveaways contribute to a lessening of the community’s quality of life and safety.

They leave messes behind, the food is “uninspected” and isn’t necessarily healthful to eat, and graffiti, trash and vandalism increase following the gathering.

Wayne Cook, the owner of Hotel Diamond as well as many other properties, was similarly hostile toward CFOTS’ giveaways. They’re poisoning the downtown, he told the council. “It’s hard enough to be a business person without taking the heart of your city and turning it over to problematic people,” he said.

Newman has a blunt response to any

ordinance banning public feeding: “It’s unconstitutional.” Homeless people have a right to use public spaces to meet their survival needs, especially when nothing

else does, he says.

He is among those who see homelessness as a symptom of the social dislocation that has resulted in large measure from the inequality in wealth in America that was exacerbated by the Great Recession. With housing costs at historic highs, even people with good jobs have trouble paying for shelter.

Newman and many others believe the necessary first step toward ending homelessness is the obvious one: find or build housing for the homeless. Once they have roofs over their heads, they can deal with the personal problems—alcoholism, mental illness, post-traumatic stress disorder, debilitating poverty—that put them on the streets in the first place.

Where “housing first” has been implemented—Utah, for example—it has been successful.

Many cities, however, are going the route the Chico City Council has taken: criminalizing the behavior of the homeless in order to force them out of downtown and, even better, out of town.

Lisa Brockus knows from personal experience that criminalization doesn’t work. Interviewed at Sunday’s lunch, she recounted something that recently happened to her and several other homeless people.

Needing to get out of the rain one night, they camped out on the portico of the downtown post office. Sometime around 2 or 3 a.m., Chico police awakened them.

Chico Friends on the Streets founder Patrick Newman (center) says “it’s unconstitutional” to enact a law prohibiting food giveaways.

Brockus was charged with illegally sleeping in a public place, handcuffed and taken to the Butte County Jail. She was released on her own recognizance later that day, and eventually the charges were dropped.

She’s back on the streets. She won’t go to the Torres Community Shelter, she says, because “I don’t want bedbugs.”

Chico Mayor Sean Morgan is of the

school of thought that says helping the homeless only makes them less able to help themselves. In a recent interview aired on Action News Now, he said CFOTS is made up of “well-intentioned people … who are only making the problem worse. … They’re hurting these people by empowering them.”

In an interview with The Washington Post, Eric Tars, an attorney with the National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty, said that laws against homelessness have such resonance in the United States because of the puritanical work ethic woven into its social fabric.

“This is the assumption: that people are homeless because they aren’t trying hard enough,” he said. “There’s the sense that something must be wrong with them, rather than something is wrong with society.”

For his part, Newman is supportive of the many services in Chico that help homeless people. And he’s under no illusions that his once-a-week outreach is going to make Chico’s homeless population significantly healthier and happier. But every bit helps, he says, which is why during winter months he passes out blankets and tarps, in addition to food.

An important part of his effort, however, is its emphasis on bringing sheltered and unsheltered people together, to “bridge the gap” between them.

Angela McLaughlin, a member of CFOTS, expressed it vividly in her

North State Voices column in the March 8 issue of the Chico E-R: “Our conversations need to include … those who are struggling with addiction, who are dirty and unkempt, who were just released from prison, who made dumb mistakes. If we don’t find a way to incorporate their perspectives, we will not only all be more impoverished for it, but real, lasting solutions will continue to elude us.” □

Point of preservation Commission seeks changes at Peregrine Point, nixes Sycamore Field fence s the nights grow shorter, the sun lingers longer in the sky over Bidwell Park, Awarming picnicking couples, adventurous

disc golfers, and ball players cracking a bat at home plate, sending a softball soaring across Sycamore Field.

That spot in Lower Bidwell Park, in particular, is a pleasant, safe place for many, several Chicoans told the Bidwell Park and Playground Commission on Monday (March 26).

“It’s a gorgeous, important, iconic space,” nearby resident Tom DiGiovanni said. He was echoed by former Vice Mayor Jim Walker, also a former park commissioner, who said it’s becoming harder to find similar open space in the city.

The comments came as the panel tackled two topics that centered around the character and preservation of two locations within the city’s largest park: Sycamore Field and Peregrine Point.

First up were proposed changes to Sycamore Field aimed at improving game play for members of the Chico Senior Softball League, organized by the Chico Area Recreation and Park District.

Some proved noncontroversial, including an extension of the chain-link fence along the first and third baselines and the installa-

tion of an electrical outlet for a scoreboard.

Others—like the addition of a permanent, 6-foot-tall outfield fence and enclosed, portable restroom—drew more than a dozen public comments in opposition and ended in a deadlocked 2-to-2 vote (Commissioners Jeffrey Glatz and Aaron Haar recused themselves and Alberto Hernandez was absent).

When it came to Peregrine Point, a popular disc golf and trailhead area, commissioners wanted to know whether Outdoor Recreation Advocacy Inc., aka Chico Outsiders, has complied with its operating agreement with the city, and when plant species would receive better protection. Heavy use and a lack of upkeep on certain fronts have impacted that part of Upper Park to the point that members of local advocacy groups, such as Friends of Bidwell Park, have become concerned.

It’s the lack of progress and protection that concerns Woody Elliott, a retired state

SIFT ER What to do about guns A new Gallup survey presented a range of proposals for curbing gun violence in America, and several of them garnered a broad consensus that crossed party lines. Four approaches— more training for officers responding to active shooters, background checks for all gun sales, beefing up security for people going into schools, and instituting programs to identify and manage students posing potential threats—had between 86 percent and 95 percent approval across the board. Other potential measures proved more divisive. Democrats were more in favor of raising the buying age to 21 (83 percent versus 53 percent of Republicans) and banning semi-automatics (72 percent versus 37 percent), while Republicans favored putting guns in the hands of teachers (69 percent, versus 22 percent of Democrats).

parks land manager and treasurer of Friends of Bidwell Park. Not much has changed at Peregrine Point since he last spoke to the CN&R about the issue three years ago (see “Disc-ology,” Newslines, May 28, 2015): “They’re not doing diddly, except talking,” he said Tuesday.

The site has long been controversial. Chico

Outsiders, a nonprofit, entered an operating agreement with the city in 2010 to work with city staff to protect native plant species at Peregrine Point and monitor impacts on and near the disc golf course.

The agreement states that the “operator,” Chico Outsiders, will maintain the premises and all disc golf improvements “at its sole cost and expense,” and reimburse the city for data collection costs related to mitigation and monitoring requirements up to $5,000, with that maximum increasing 3 percent per year.

On Jan. 29, the commission received a staff report that concluded that the city and Chico Outsiders needed to better protect trees and plants by installing mulch, delineating/decommissioning trails, creating alternative target/pole locations and installing tee/trail signs. Linda Herman, the city’s park and natural resource manager, attributed the delays to weather, lack of staff resources and equipment challenges.

While presenting an update on plans for the area on Monday, she reported that Chico Outsiders isn’t out of compliance. Rather, the city has not been pulling its weight in protecting the natural environment from NEWSLINES c o N t i N u e d March 29, 2018

wayward discs, foot traffic and weatherization. The city should play a larger role, she argued, especially since Peregrine Point has been impacted by more than just disc golfers, and the city, not Chico Outsiders, is ultimately charged with protecting the region.

“It’s a beautiful area; it’s a well-used area. And it’s hard to pinpoint, other than the trees getting hit with discs, that it’s only disc golfers up there,” Herman said. “We should continue to protect it the best way we can and make sure we are all sharing that responsibility and not just putting it on one user.”

The city’s recommendation, according to Herman, is that Chico Outsiders “continues to monitor and maintain the course to the best of their abilities and resources,” as it has provided about $10,000 more than required for extra studies, half of the construction costs of the 18-hole course and nearly 4,700 volunteer hours since 2011.

Wood chip placement and snake rail fencing should be finished by June, Herman said, and the city is working with a consultant on the trail plan. Herman will provide the commission with an update on the improvements by September. The city will conduct the next five-year review of the operating agreement in 2019.

Though staff says it is going to direct more resources to Peregrine Point, Elliott is skeptical. The department still isn’t fully staffed, and was originally intended to rely upon Chico Outsiders for financial support.

At the meeting, Commissioner Elaina McReynolds expressed a similar sentiment, saying she’s concerned about the timeline.

“I appreciate the city taking ownership, but I also know you guys are short-staffed. It was like a couple years we couldn’t get a drill there,” she said.

Given his background, Elliott, also the conservation chair for the Mt. Lassen chapter of the California Native Plant Society, finds the degradation of the area a “travesty.”

“People don’t appreciate that their very existence is sometimes derogatory to their environment,” he said. “You’ve got to care for your impacts.”

Data battle Facebook opposes privacy measure on the heels of Cambridge Analytica scandal ust a few weeks before Facebook CEO Mark JZuckerberg apologized for the

“breach of trust” that allowed Cambridge Analytica to access the private social media activity of 50 million people, Facebook plunked down $200,000 to fight a data privacy initiative in California.

The social media giant’s donation matched others from Google, AT&T, Comcast and Verizon—a million-dollar sign that the issue of how companies collect and share personal information is likely to grow into an expensive fight as election season unfolds.

The businesses are fighting an initiative proposed by San Francisco real estate developer Alastair Mactaggart, who’s already spent $1.7 million on a measure that would allow Californians to prohibit companies from selling or sharing their personal data.

His campaign is gathering signatures with the goal of landing the California Consumer Privacy Act on the November ballot.

“What we are proposing is some very basic rights: Let people find out what information companies are collecting, and let them have the ability to say, ‘Don’t sell

my information,’” said Mactaggart, who was inspired to draft the initiative after chatting at a party with a Google engineer who told him that people would freak out if they knew how much companies track, compile and sell their personal information.

Ever use a fitness or fertility app? They collect loads of personal information that can be shared—and a study by the Future of Privacy Forum found that some don’t have privacy policies telling users what happens to their data.

Use a discount card at the grocery or drug store? Everything you buy is a piece of data about you.

The measure would give Californians the ability to opt out of having their personal data sold or shared by requiring businesses to display a button on their websites that says, “Do Not Sell My Personal Information.” Clicking the link would take users to an opt-out form.

Mactaggart and his supporters seized on the recent controversy over Cambridge Analytica accessing the data of millions of Facebook users to benefit clients such as the Trump campaign, publicly calling on the company to stop opposing his ballot measure.

Though Zuckerberg said on

national television that Facebook has a “basic responsibility to protect people’s data,” his company has worked with other internet giants to beat back numerous efforts to increase consumer privacy. They lobbied against federal legislation last year that would have required tech companies to obtain customers’ permission before selling their data to advertisers. And they lobbied against a bill in the California Legislature that would have required internet service providers to get permission from customers before selling or sharing information about their browsing history.

Now they’re fighting Mactaggart’s measure by warning that it would fundamentally disrupt the 21st century economy, not only impacting the business of digital advertising but also hampering many services people have come to rely on. Mapping apps, ride-hailing apps and email subscription services all rely on sharing users’ data. The initiative treats “sharing” data and “selling” data the same, and opponents say such services wouldn’t work if consumers were allowed to opt out. The measure says the opt-out wouldn’t apply when the consumer intentionally discloses personal information (for example, revealing their location when hailing a ride), but opponents maintain the distinction is unworkable.

“Just about every sector of business in the state will oppose this because it’s a direct threat to their vitality,” said Steve Maviglio,

Students in solidarity An estimated 2,000 people headed to downtown Chico Saturday morning (March 24) for the March for Our Lives. The demonstration included a march around the city center and concluded with poignant speeches by local youth and other activists at City Plaza. Local high school students organized it as a sister event to one in Washington, D.C., during which survivors of the recent shooting at a high school in Parkland, Fla., addressed the nation on the issues of gun violence and school safety.

spokesman for the tech-funded political committee opposing the privacy initiative, called the Coalition to Protect California Jobs. The committee has backing from the California Chamber of Commerce, TechNet and the Internet Association—powerful and deep-pocketed interests.

Facebook didn’t respond to a request for comment, but it’s a member of TechNet and the Internet Association, which argue that changing the internet’s rules in one state is impractical because it’s a global network.

“This measure will stifle innovation and send companies to competing states and countries that do not have such job-crushing regulations,” said a statement from TechNet Vice President Andrea Deveau.

The initiative also would allow Californians to sue companies that violate their request not to share personal information—another point of contention for business groups, which almost always oppose policies making it easier for them to be sued.

Consumer groups have been assessing whether the initiative as drafted does what it aims to do.

Several now support it, although others, including the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which litigates civil liberties issues in technology, have not yet taken a position.

Leading the campaign with Mactaggart is Mary Ross, a former CIA analyst who moved to California two years ago. As a counterintelligence analyst, Ross said she helped monitor foreign governments’ efforts to spy on America. So when Mactaggart asked her to join his campaign, Ross said she had “an insider’s perspective” on the power of big data.

“Information is being used to manipulate people and you don’t even know when you’re being manipulated…. Maybe it’s being done to make you buy something or maybe it’s being done to get you to go vote a certain way,” Ross said. “But if there is no transparency or accountability, it’s going to continue.”

connect obstetricians or pediatricians to a psychiatric specialist.

“Just like we have case management programs for patients who have diabetes or sleep issues or back pain, a case management program requires the insurance company to take some ownership of making sure their patients are getting the treatment they need to be healthy,” said Root Askew, who is now advocating for the bill on behalf of the group 2020 Mom. Health insurance companies haven’t taken a position on the legislation. It’s unclear how much it would cost them to comply, because some already have infrastructure in place for case management programs, and some do not. But there is consensus among insurers and health advocates that such programs save money in the long run.

“The sooner that you can get good treatment for a mom, the less expensive that condition will be to manage over the course of the woman’s life and over the course of that child’s life,” Root Askew said.

Some doctors still have their objections.

Under the bill, they could be disciplined for not screening. Some have said they worry about how much time it would take.

Doctors, patients debate mental health screening for expecting and new moms

Ldoctors next month on a bill that would require to screen new moms for mental awmakers in California will begin debate

health problems—once while they’re pregnant and again after they give birth.

But many obstetricians and pediatricians bristle at the idea, saying they are afraid to screen new moms for depression and anxiety.

“What are you going to do with those people who screen positive?” said Dr. Laura Sirott, an OB-GYN who practices in Pasadena. “Some providers have nowhere to send them.”

Nationally, depression affects up to

1 in 7 women during or after pregnancy, according to the American Psychological Association. And of women who screen positive for the condition, 78 percent don’t get mental health treatment, according to a 2015 research review published in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology.

Sirott said her patients give a range of reasons why they don’t take her up on a referral to a psychologist: “‘Oh, they don’t take my insurance.’ Or ‘My insurance pays for three visits.’ ‘I can’t take time off work to go to those visits.’ ‘It’s a three-month wait to get in to that person.’”

She said it’s also hard to find a psychiatrist who is trained in the complexities of prescribing medications to pregnant or breastfeeding women, and who is willing to treat them, especially in rural areas.

“So it’s very frustrating,” Sirott said, “to ask patients about a problem and then not

have any way to solve that problem.”

Moms are frustrated, too. After the baby comes, no one asks about the baby’s mother anymore.

Wendy Root Askew struggled for years to get

pregnant, and when she finally did, her anxiety got worse. She couldn’t stop worrying that something would go wrong.

“And then, after I had my son, I would have these dreams where someone would come to the door and they would say, ‘Well, you know, we’re just going to wait two weeks to see if you get to keep your baby or not,’” Root Askew said. “And it really impacted my ability to bond with him.”

She likes California’s bill, Assembly Bill 2193, because it goes beyond mandated screening. It would require health insurance companies to set up case management programs to help moms find a therapist, and

HEALTHLINES The health care system, and the incentives, aren’t set up for this sort of screening, Sirott said.

“Currently, I get $6 for screening a patient,” she said. “By the time I put it on a piece of paper and print it, it’s not worth it.”

It’s not clear whether the direct and indirect costs of screening would be worth it to the patients, either. Four other states—Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey and West Virginia—have tried mandated screening, and it did not result in more women getting treatment, according to a study published in Psychiatric Services in 2015.

Even with California’s extra requirement that insurance companies facilitate care, women could still face high co-pays or limits on the number of therapy sessions.

Or, the new mothers might be so overwhelmed with their care for a newborn that it would be difficult to add anything to their busy schedules.

What does seem to work, according to the study of mandated screening in other states, is when nurses or mental health providers visit new moms at home.

Health myths busted Old wives have probably given you some false tales in terms of health.

According to WebMD.com, here are several health-related myths that need busting: • You should drink eight glasses of water a day. Turns out there’s no need to count cups. Research shows that gulping a glass when you’re thirsty should be enough to keep you hydrated.

• Eggs are bad for your heart. Contrary to popular belief, eating an egg or two a day doesn’t raise the risk of heart disease in healthy people, and they contain omega-3s, which may actually lower the risk.

• Being cold gives you a cold. Spending time in chilly outdoor environments won’t make you sick, despite what your grandmother says. In fact, you’re more likely to get sick from too much time indoors.

• Sugar makes kids hyper.

Eating lots of sugar isn’t good for kids, but sweets won’t cause them to act out, do poorly with homework or hurt their focus.

“Despite abundant good will, there is no evidence that state policies are addressing this great need,” the study’s authors report.

Supporters of California’s proposed bill, however, say doctors need to start somewhere. Screening is the first step in recognizing the full scope of the problem, said Dr. Nirmaljit Dhami, a Mountain View-based psychiatrist. Women should be screened on an ongoing basis throughout pregnancy and for a year after birth, Dhami said, not just once or twice as the bill requires.

“I often tell doctors that if you don’t know that somebody is suicidal it doesn’t mean that their suicidality will go away,” she said.

“If you don’t ask, the risk is the same.” □

Portland set the stage for banning fossil fuel expansion by

Kevon Paynter

O

n a clear July morning three years ago,

dozens of environmental activists pushed their kayaks into the Willamette River in Portland, Ore., while others rappelled 400 feet from the top of St. Johns Bridge in an attempt to block a Shell Oil ship and its drilling equipment from leaving the port and entering Alaskan waters.

A key piece of Shell’s arctic drilling fleet, the vessel had arrived in Portland for repairs but its departure was delayed by protesters chanting “coal, oil, gas, none shall pass!” during two days of civil disobedience that became known as Summer Heat.

By the time the vessel sailed, the stage had been set for what would be a yearlong battle, culminating in an ordinance that banned construction and expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure in the city.

Last month, the Oregon Court of Appeals upheld Portland’s ban as constitutional, affirming the city’s power to regulate the safety and welfare of its residents and sending a powerful signal to cities that they too can take the lead to limit fossil fuel use.

“The Oregon Court of Appeals decision basically says that, ‘Yes, local communities do have the right to restrict against fossil fuels and the risk that they bare,’” says Mia Reback, who helped organize Summer Heat and is development coordinator at the Portland chapter of a global climate action group, 350PDX. In the 14 months since the Portland ban was imposed, elected officials across three U.S. states—Idaho, California and Washington—have publicly committed to creating similar climate action in their communities.

City- and state-level actions opposing the fossil fuel industry are gaining momentum across the country. But it took Portland a while to find its own way.

Seeing value in the Pacific Northwest for its geographical proximity to Asian energy markets, oil and gas companies were planning expansion of offshore oil and gas

operations in ways that threatened the atmosphere with carbon dioxide emissions.

In fact, a Sightline Institute study in 2014 showed that the number of proposals for new and expanded terminals and pipelines in Oregon, Washington and British Columbia had the combined potential for releasing five times the level of climate-warming carbons as the Keystone XL pipeline.

And for Portland, construction seemed inevitable because the Port of Portland could enter most agreements directly with the oil industry without having to hold public hearings. That left local climate activists stuck in perpetual crisis-response mode each time a lease permitting Arctic drilling was issued.

Civil disobedience and direct action seemed the only avenue to slow the industry, Reback said.

“In the public consciousness, we started to message that ‘all fossil fuels are bad, and that it’s not a debate between coal and gas, and it’s really a debate between fossil fuels and renewable energy,’” she said.

In 2014, some 5,000 people in Portland par-

ticipated in the People’s Climate March.

Retired teachers, churchgoers and students later formed the Climate Action Coalition to continue to build on the momentum.

They straddled tracks to block the passage of oil trains in Vancouver, Wash., where 21 people, dubbed the Vancouver 21, were arrested. But their involvement in “kayaktivism,” which created a human blockade of the Willamette River that day in 2015, was one of their boldest moves.

But even as coalition members bonded,

About this story:

It is an abridged version published by yeS! Magazine and written by Kevon paynter, the Surdna reporting fellow for yeS!

a Canadian company, the Pembina Pipeline Corp., proposed shipping 37,500 barrels of propane every day to the Port of Portland on the Columbia River. The propane would arrive via oil trains across sensitive environmental areas between Portland and Pembina’s Redwater facility in Canada.

Coalition organizers knew a propane terminal this large warranted a big response.

Media reports had been showing the worsening impact of fossil fuels on both the climate and health of people in the Pacific Northwest.

A 2014 Oregonian report showed that 25 percent of Portlanders reside in what it called the “blast zone,” along rail lines where train cars carrying propane would present irrevocable damage if it were to explode or spill. Oregon’s emergency planners, the report noted, were insufficiently prepared to clean a spill or respond to an explosion.

“Some of the people most impacted by [this] are living in rural and conservative areas… it’s threatening the fundamental livability of this planet,” Reback said.

So the coalition fine-tuned its message to shift the debate from liberal versus conservative to focus on the health and safety dangers the oil industry posed to everyone.

And then they found a breakthrough.

Pembina inadvertently opened up the public hearing process after it requested a small modification to land-use and zoning regulations, necessary for just 300 feet of pipe. But that small opening gave the public its first chance to launch a referendum on the entire project.

The coalition packed subsequent City Council hearings. They moved aggressively to cement their deep concern for the climate into local law. And in May 2015, eight months after he came out in support of Pembina, Portland’s then-mayor, Charlie

Hales, cited more than 3,000 public comments in denying the company’s land-use request. In withdrawing his support for the entire project, Hales called it “a real referendum on our commitment” to addressing climate change.

The coalition’s vigilance led the city of Portland to pass the zoning code amendments that the Oregon Court of Appeals recently upheld. The amendments, contained in a city ordinance, ban the expansion of existing fossil-fuel terminals and significantly limit the size of new terminals in the city of Portland.

A resolution, which wasn’t challenged in court and passed in September 2015, requires the city to divest local government money from Chevron, Exxon Mobil, and 200 of the largest fossil fuel companies on the city’s ‘Do Not Buy’ list.

“We sent the message, very loudly and clearly that we were tired playing whack-amole,” Reback said. “We were done fighting these individual fossil fuel terminal projects, and we’re ready to find creative solutions that once and for all settle the question that fossil fuels do not belong in our society and we would transition off of them.” □

‘sheak’ streak

amazon strikes again

Angela Waller is busy—though she and her mother, Cindy O’Rear, co-own commercial and residential cleaning company C&A Cleaning, last November Waller opened a new shop: Country Sheak & Boutique, which offers a little bit of everything. During a recent visit, the store, also the location of C&A Cleaning’s office, had a hat stand with beanies of all colors, a display of bath bombs, a table with patriotic baubles and a rack with scarves and plush vests. On the walls were floral paintings by a local artist, home décor and jewelry. Find the business, which Waller runs with the help of her daughter, Brittney, who attends Butte College (pictured on the right), on Facebook or stop by 1382 Longfellow Ave., 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

What went into your product selection?

Angela: When I go into other stores, there’s certain things I like. But you know how you have to go to several different stores to find them? My idea was to have a little bit of everything … so there’s wildlife stuff, there’s western stuff, there’s little gift stuff. I’ve let some people just bring in some consignment.

Some stuff we’ve made as well.

Amazon is a beast. I remember back in the day, when it focused almost exclusively on books and other media—and spelled the end for stores like Borders Books and Tower Records. Over the past decade, it’s expanded to other retail categories and more stores closed. For smaller operations, the fight’s been rough. I was driving down Mangrove the other day and was shocked at the number of former retail stores that are now occupied by service-industry offices like mortgage companies.

Amazon’s latest local victim, Reef Connections, leaves another hole on Mangrove. I spoke briefly via Facebook Messenger with owner Jody Smith, who lamented closing up the popular fish-centric store after 23 years. He said if he had to point to one reason, it’d be Amazon. “Really the cost of business and the management of employees is not worth the rewards,” he told me. Clearly, he’s not alone—and it makes me sad, as it means less diversity in our retail landscape.

Aquarium owners, don’t fret: Smith will continue to do service calls. The phone number remains the same: 892-8183. [art], too. As stuff goes out, I try to order new stuff … so it’s never the same thing each time you come in.

What’s up with “Sheak?”

A: I thought of country, and [my daughter, Brittney] said, “What about chic and boutique?”

She asked Siri, “How do you spell ‘chic?’” and that’s how Siri brought up ‘chic’ to her.

I’ve heard from people in town, “That’s not how you spell chic.”

I’ve said, “I know, but—it’s different.” It’s not spelled or used like that, but it actually is a good conversation piece. I’ve had several guys come in thinking we’re a new steak shop! They were so excited till they came in and saw it was a gift shop. It’s really funny.

Did you grow up on a farm?

A: I grew up in Chico. I live in Orland now. We’ve always lived out in the country.

Brittney: Grandpa has horses, a dog and a cow, which is actually our cow. We have rabbits, chickens, ducks, a pig, dogs, sheep, a goat—we’re going to have a donkey—guinea pigs. We had a fish, but it died …

A: A couple times over!

B: … and we have two turkeys.

What are your goals for the business?

A: I would love for it to thrive and have clientele all the time.

We pay rent for the cleaning business, so I don’t have … all those extra costs that a lot of people have, and that’s why a lot of the little businesses go out.

I try to really price it reasonably so it’s not a huge markup, because I don’t want [stuff] here forever. We’re not here to make a fortune.

Wait, there’s more Claire’s filed for bankruptcy last week, blaming a decline in mall traffic. The good news for local teenage girls: The Chico Mall location is not on the list of immediate closings. As for Toys R Us, get over to East 20th Street before April 21, especially if you have an unredeemed gift card. Expect going-out-ofbusiness sales to get better, but inventory to clear out quickly. Related news: a company that bought the name KB Toys is planning to revive that once-popular toy store by Black Friday. There’s no list yet of where the new stores will be.

DoWntoWn loWDoWn I was walking down Broadway last week with a couple of

co-workers when we noticed work being done inside the old Trucker (between Second and Third streets). According to one of the construction workers, it’s going to be a Lulu’s outlet store, which is pretty cool. Messages seeking comment from Lulu’s weren’t returned by press time, so I’m not sure when it will be opening.

A block or so over, Chico Coffee Co. is making progress on its new digs at the corner of Second and Main streets. A peek inside revealed a weird makeover, though—a diagonal wall extending from the left side of the front door to where the counter used to be. That means roughly half the space of what used to be Peet’s will become part of one of Will Brady’s new bars, Bill’s Towne Lounge, in the space previously occupied by Lyon Books.

loyalty programs I’m a sucker for a good deal, but I feel like lately every store I walk into is offering a different kind of loyalty program. Recently, I was offered 7-Eleven’s new loyalty card and membership in Cold Stone Creamery’s My Cold Stone Club. The weird part about that one? I entered my phone number at the register and received an email confirmation. Turns out Cold Stone uses Spendgo for its rewards—and so does Jamba Juice. I like getting free stuff, but I’m feeling like Big Brother is overly interested in my eating habits lately. Bring back stamp cards!

GHOST GUNS KILL

The death trail of weapons that are untraceable, unrestrictable and so far unstoppable

BY SCOTT THOMAS ANDERSON s c o t t a @ n e w s r e v i e w. c o m

T

he house has been torn down. Some papers stapled to a hacked-up stump are the only evidence it ever existed. Before getting ripped to pieces, the double-wide trailer on the edge of Rancho Tehama Reserve was a testament to the nocturnal activities of Kevin Janson Neal. For months, people along the broken hills could hear him screaming lewd threats or firing his Jennings 9mm into the night, shots echoing off a steep wash of oaks that rose like a shadow over his trailer.

Now, there’s only silence. It was here, not far from the trailer, that Neal first attacked his neighbors, 34-year-old Hailey Poland and her boyfriend’s mother, Diana Steele. Court documents indicate Neal had been menacing their family for months. And on Jan. 31, 2017, he finally went after them.

Rancho Tehama Reserve is still reeling from the mass shooting that took place there in November.

MARCH 29, 2018

Prosecutors outlined the encounter in their charging documents: Neal spotted the women on a walk and fired his Bushmaster rifle near them. Panicked, they saw him bolting over the fence with a 7-inch knife. Neal drove his blade into Poland’s abdomen. He snatched Steele’s cellphone as she tried to call for help and punched the 68-year-old woman in the face. Then he threw her to the ground, continuing to beat her.

Poland says he suddenly snapped out of it and stopped.

Neal was arrested and charged with multiple felonies. A Tehama County judge issued a restraining order that barred him from going near the women and their family. That decree made Neal a “restricted” person—a judge’s order forbade him from possessing firearms. On Feb. 22, Neal’s attorney filed a form promising that his client had surrendered his remaining Jennings 9mm to a gun supplier inside a garage near a lonely airstrip outside Red Bluff.

There may have been a brief pause in the nighttime sounds around Neal’s double-wide, but there were other sounds—different sounds—going on inside the trailer’s living room. They were the noises of a hand drill biting shavings out of a metal frame, the click of a trigger spring and pop of a slave pin, the quiet scrape of a gas block sliding over a barrel.

Neal soon had two fully functional AR-15 rifles, and every part he used to build them was unmarked, unregistered and unlicensed. They were “ghost guns.”

A cold wind slaps the papers on the stump. They flap backward, waving in the direction of the spot where Neal stuffed the body of his slain wife under the trailer’s floorboards on Nov. 13, 2017. The next morning, he took his AR-15 ghost guns, along with two pistols of unknown origin, down a long brushy road spotted with old gates and pickup trucks. A short time later, four more people lay dead, nine others were rushed to the hospital with gunshot wounds, and an elementary school stood riddled with the marks of high-velocity bullets.

Among the bleeding but breathing survivors were three young children. Among the bodies being driven to the mortuary were two names on Neal’s restraining order.

Graham Barlowe of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrived in Rancho Tehama in the aftermath of the chaos. The longtime federal agent had come to assist with the investigation. He wasn’t surprised to hear from sheriff’s deputies that it was a ghost gun Neal had pulled out at the elementary school.

Barlowe’s team had seen a nightmare like this before. And everyone knows that the next nightmare can be worse.

“It’s a huge problem,” Barlowe says of ghost guns. “No records are kept on them. They’re not regulated in any way. There are no serial numbers when you find them. … In Sacramento, they’re probably the majority of our work now.”

The Ranch A group of people stand shivering by the door of Rancho Tehama Community Church. Sunlight beams on the rough ridges and wooded bluffs overhead, casting brighter on snowdusted mountains lifting through a frigid blue sky. The townsfolk huddle in a line under beanies and flannels. A few bent cowboy hats are tipped in the breeze. They’re waiting for the food bank to let the next family in. Charles “Chic” Sievers, a church elder, carries two bags of groceries out to a woman’s car. To Sievers’ right, Stagecoach Road stretches 700 yards from a faded “Come and Worship” sign to the elementary school where Neal fired nearly 100 rounds from his ghost gun, its .223-caliber bullets punching through walls to hit a sheltering 6-year-old.

Sievers sets the groceries down. To his left is the intersection where Neal opened fire on Tiffany Phommathep’s pickup, striking her five times and sending bullets into her 6- and 10-yearold sons. As Sievers pivots back toward the line, his eyes turn over the section of road where a sheriff’s deputy and a Corning police officer finally confronted Neal, hearing round after round sing into their patrol cars as they tried to drop him.

On that morning about four months ago, this pale pillbox church literally stood at the crossroads of terror. “Even

our pastor’s truck had bullet holes in it,” Sievers says.

All winter, residents of Rancho Tehama Reserve, which they call “the Ranch,” have tried to move on from the sound of cracking air and desperate screams. But this week is different. This week they’ve had to contemplate the slaughter of 17 students and teachers in Parkland, Fla. The story keeps playing on the news—and in the minds of locals who can still hear Neal’s AR-15.

The Ranch put its flags at half-staff for Parkland’s dead. Some here sense a real connection with the teenage victims. But on the Ranch’s community Facebook page, the debate about the effectiveness of gun laws remains fierce. Plenty here have thought about the differences between Neal’s killings and the Parkland horror. Unlike the Florida shooter, Neal didn’t get his long rifles through a dealer. He couldn’t have. Neal was awaiting trial for felony assault, assault with a deadly weapon, taking property by force, possession of an assault rifle and reckless discharge of a firearm. The restraining order in Neal’s case would have flagged him in the database of any licensed retailer.

Yet after all the killing that happened on that November day—Michelle McFayden murdered in front of her husband, Joseph McHugh shot dead out in the open, Danny Elliott executed before he could get to the school where his 7-year-old came under fire—some people on the Ranch think the restraining order wasn’t worth the paper it was issued on. Neal killed two of the five people the restraining order was meant to protect: Elliott, Poland’s boyfriend; and his mother, Steele, the middle-aged woman he’d earlier throttled.

None of the evidence for Neal’s pending trial stopped him from getting the AR-15s, and most locals on the Ranch are fully aware of why.

“People know that he just got his gun parts through the mail,” Sievers says, shaking his head.

With a story emerging about how Neal had murdered his wife and hidden her remains under his floor, the detail of his ghost guns found minimal coverage in the media. But for Barlowe, the resident agent in charge of the ATF’s Sacramento field office, it was a critical

factor in the carnage that ensued.

“The ATF regulates the sale of firearms, but what we don’t regulate is the sale of firearm parts,” Barlowe explains. “If you Google ‘unfinished AR-15 receivers for sale,’ you’re going to get a hundred hits, all from companies that are selling them. … The parts are delivered within two to three days.

If I’m going to commit some terrible crime, I can probably have one of these guns within 48 hours of pulling out my credit card.”

Barlowe adds that his team has dealt with ghost guns long enough to know two things: They’re not as hard to assemble as people think, and the ATF’s sophisticated gun-tracing center can’t track their history.

Several Rancho Tehama residents who spoke with the News & Review expressed concerns about how Neal circumvented his restraining order by building his rifles, though they cautioned not to oversimplify how the tragedy unfolded. Several factors contributed to the killings.

Despite Neal being charged with five violent felonies 10 months before the incident, Tehama County’s bail schedule set his bail at only $160,000; Neal’s family sprung him from jail on bond in just two days.

Then, not long after Bottke barred Neal from having guns, the disturbing nighttime noises started around his trailer again. The crack-cadences were the unmistakable sign of Neal firing his ghost guns in the shadows. Alarmed residents began making calls to law enforcement to report that Neal had firearms again. Tehama County Sheriff Dave Hencratt has acknowledged his office received numerous calls about shootings near Neal’s address prior to the killings.

Hencratt has said his deputies could never definitively prove who was pulling the trigger. Many in Rancho MARCH 29, 2018

Tehama feel they never tried. The Tehama County Sheriff’s Office stopped doing interviews about Neal’s story in December.

Finally, though Neal made two ghost guns, he also had two pistols that were stolen or illegally purchased. In a town like Rancho Tehama, where numerous residents are Second Amendment defenders, and more than a few own AR-15s, the logic goes that Neal could have killed people that morning no matter what.

But how many? A self-assembled AR-15 was his primary weapon at the elementary school. It’s generally considered a far more stable shooting platform than a pistol and much easier to accurately aim under stress. It also had triple the round capacity of a standard handgun.

Barlowe did not directly comment about the likelihood that the ghost gun made Neal a more effective killer. But he does call the AR-15 “a highly effective gun for killing human beings.”

Mr. Helpful and Dr. Death Mike Turner walks by the long, prison-style bars caging a storefront in south Sacramento. The late afternoon light glares on his sunglasses and a red skull centered in a gear silhouette on his T-shirt: The death’s head was a symbol for the gun parts store Turner used to work at behind those guarded windows.

When the shop’s owner was sent to federal prison over ghost guns, Turner’s own photograph found its way into an affidavit in the case. He still simmers over how he feels it made him look like a criminal. But on a lawn-dotted culde-sac in Antelope, Turner is one gunbuilder whose reputation is the opposite.

It started with screams. On the night of Oct. 5, 2017, Turner was watching TV in his house when a frantic wailing echoed through his windows. Turner paused to listen. A week before, the neighbors to his south had spotted a man in a skeleton mask peering through their window, holding a pistol with a blue laser sight. Though the couple didn’t own a gun, they threatened to shoot the stranger, bluffing him back into the darkness.

Turner knew all about the incident.

Now his phone was ringing. “Mike, they’re in our house with a gun!” his neighbor Linda yelled through the receiver. “Help! Help!”

Turner jumped up, grabbed his Sigma 20

9mm and told his wife to call 911. A second later he was stalking down his driveway in the dark, trying to adjust his eyes to the floodlights. He practically walked into one of the home invaders. The man, later identified by sheriff’s deputies as Marius Oh, was dressed in black and grasping a pistol with a blue laser sight. Turner says he shouted to stop, but the azure beam only slashed up at him.

The gunfight was on.

Turner drilled a hollow point bullet through the stranger’s hip. The stranger banged a .45 caliber slug right at him.

It sailed low, cutting into the ground.

Turner started emptying his 10-round magazine with such gusto he stumbled backward, though his volley landed one more hit. At the same instant, the stranger took a shot at Turner’s head. The round whizzed by to detonate the tire of a Ford Ranger up the driveway. Turner could hear his Sigma’s empty chamber clicking as a second intruder darted out of the shadows. A truck suddenly swooped by to grab the men. Turner jacked another clip in as the getaway vehicle tore off for the north county line.

Later, investigating deputies were contacted by a Roseville police officer who’d found Oh bleeding from two gunshot wounds in a Chevron parking lot. An official report by the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department supports Turner’s version of the shootout. Oh is awaiting trial for assault with a deadly weapon and multiple robbery charges.

Word about Turner’s actions traveled through his neighborhood. Then, in early January of this year, Turner got another hysterical call, this time from his neighbors on the north side of his home.

As the sun was rising, they’d walked into their garage to find a burly biker sleeping in their white sedan. “He’s in my house!” his neighbor Mona stammered. “He’s in my car, in my house!”

Turner didn’t wait. He grabbed one of his big, self-built AR-15s. Within seconds, the biker was sitting against a retaining wall with Turner’s rifle holding him at bay. Since the man hadn’t forced his way through a locked door, sheriff’s deputies ultimately declared it a civil matter. Turner’s neighbors, who confirmed the incident, said it was

“scary” but ended all right “since Mike was there.”

Turner says both calls for help illustrate why gun owners aren’t paranoid to think that they need their high-powered weapons. That includes ghost guns, though Turner doesn’t call them that.

The technical term is “firearms built from unfinished lower receivers.” The receiver is a hand-size metal casing that a hammer, breechblock, trigger, firing pin and other parts assemble onto. Most lower receivers come with a jig showing exactly where to drill the holes to facilitate attaching the parts needed to turn it into a functional gun. It’s a process hobbyists call “carving out” or “milling out” the gun. After that, attaching the upper receiver, a barrel, a stock and other parts complete the firearm. Turner got hooked on this customizing process at a gun show in Nevada.

“It’s like being a motorhead,” Turner explains. “I can put together a really high-quality gun, and it can be specific. … Making them was always more fun for me than shooting them.”

LCG AR Parts and Accessories had been owned by Luis Garcia, who gave Turner tips on milling out receivers. But the man who taught him the most about building ghost guns was a machinist out of north Sacramento named Dan Crowninshield. Turner says he didn’t

know Crowninshield had an alternative persona on internet gun forums. He called himself “Dr. Death.”

According to an affidavit filed by ATF Agent Jerry Donn, on April 3, 2013, an undercover member of his team went into Crowninshield’s machine shop. The agent discovered that Dr. Death had a $200,000 drill press that could completely mill out an unfinished lower receiver in 20 minutes. Moreover, the agent said, Crowninshield would engage in this hyper-fast carving for anyone who’d pay him $120. That’s significant, because, according to federal law, if someone instructs another person on how to mill out an unfinished receiver, that’s legal, but if they do any step of the process for another person, or “provide expertise,” for pay, that’s a crime—that’s unlicensed gun manufacturing.

Donn wrote in his warrant that Crowninshield was prepping weapons for strangers without background checks, waiting periods or sales transactions. Dr. Death kept his ghost guns pretty ghostly. There was a reason: Crowninshield had twice been convicted of domestic violence.

“Turns out he’s a prohibited person,” Turner recalls. “He’s not even allowed

to touch a gun.”

Turner says he stopped hanging out with Crowninshield in August 2013, after the machinist set him on edge.

“He pulled out [a lower receiver] and showed it to me, and it was an M16 carved out, probably ready to put a fullauto mag in,” Turner remembers. “I was done with him.”

Turner didn’t want to hang out with people who made automatic weapons.

When the ATF raided Dr. Death’s machine shop, agents searched several other locations, including Garcia’s store and Turner’s house. Luis’ brother, Jimmy Garcia—already convicted of firing a machine gun in Nevada City—was caught with numerous pistols and shotguns. An undercover agent also watched Jimmy mill out a ghost gun and sell it to a convicted felon. Crowninshield and the Garcia brothers were charged with criminal manufacturing of firearms. All three pleaded guilty and went to prison.

Turner was never arrested, though four of his guns—some of the best he ever made, he says—were seized. He says what troubles him more is losing the job at Luis’ gun store, the only job he’s ever loved. These days, Turner admits that the ATF probably had a case on Crowninshield and Jimmy Garcia.

He doesn’t believe the same of his former boss. Turner’s convinced Luis was different than his brother—that he was a small-business owner who enjoyed helping gun-lovers, including cops, and was just tripped up by a nebulous fog of regulation around making ghost guns.

“The law is so vague,” Turner stresses. “It makes no sense. No one can even understand it.”

Ricochets Walking in the winter rain, retired journalist Rich Hanner pauses on a soundless street in Stockton to look through a chainlink fence at a chipped and faded sign for Cleveland Elementary School. He’s sure its letters date back to a moment that’s never stopped haunting this avenue—or his own memories on the job.

It was Jan. 17, 1989, and Hanner had been the Stockton Record’s city editor for two months when he got a call from staff photographer Calixtro Romias, who urged Hanner to send every available reporter to a schoolyard in the north city.

Hanner’s team was about to discover, in real time, that a violent ex-con and drifter had walked onto the campus with an AK-47. His name was Patrick Purdy.

He was wearing a flak jacket. There was a bomb in his van. Then Purdy did what

until that moment had been unthinkable: He started mowing down the children on the playground.

“I’d covered floods, fires, crimes, but no kind of spot-news experience could prepare someone for this,” Hanner says as he glances to where the photographer captured the small, bleeding bodies. “All you can think about is the tragedy of it, and the horror.”

Purdy murdered five kids and wounded 32 more before terminating himself.

The Record’s management eventually made sure Hanner’s reporters had access to professional counseling. “For the people of Stockton, it was traumatizing, shocking,” he recalls.

Hanner now understands his team was witnessing an ominous opening note—the nation’s first high-profile, mass-casualty schoolyard shooting.

They’ve since watched its specter return over and over at different spots in the nation. It turned through the American consciousness again last month in Parkland, Fla. But in 1989, the people of California weren’t stupefied by Purdy’s massacre of little children. Before the year ended, lawmakers passed the Roberti-Roos Assault Weapons Control Act, which banned an array of military rifles in the state, including the AK-47.

Twenty-five years later, Hanner was still a journalist in San Joaquin County when Stockton experienced the seconddarkest day in its history. And if the city’s slaughter of the innocents in 1989 had helped pass the Roberti-Roos Act, three Stockton gang members were about to show how ghost guns could beat it. And they’d do it by turning the streets into an urban war zone.

Misty Holt-Singh was pulling cash out of an ATM on a July afternoon in 2014. Her 12-year-old daughter was a few feet away in the car. Suddenly someone grabbed her. It was one of three gang members. Hoodies over ball caps, dark fake beards, gloves duct-taped to their sleeves. The men pulled HoltSingh into the bank, leveling guns on the customers and employees. The Police Foundation, a nonprofit research center, later interviewed more than 50 officers and witnesses to understand what happened next.

One of the gangsters took hold of the manager, Kelly Huber, by her shirt collar. Huber felt a gun at the back of her head. The men pulled cash from a safe and took bank teller Stephanie Koussaya as a third hostage. They forced the women out into the parking lot. A Stockton police officer was pointing a rifle at them, ordering them to surrender. The robbers kept their guns on the women’s skulls.

In a matter of sec-

onds, the trio was driving wildly through Stockton as they used a self-built AK-47, a ghost gun, to overwhelm the responding officers. They still had their three hostages.

In the front of the Explorer was 30-year-old Gilbert Renteria. Nineteenyear-old Jaime Ramos sat in the backseat. In the way back, spraying 7.62mm rounds out the window, 27-year-old Alex Martinez. According to San Joaquin Superior Court records, both Renteria and Martinez already had felony convictions for street terrorism and dealing meth. The ghost gun had allowed the two men not only to beat the federal Gun Control Act’s rule on felons, but also the Roberti-Roos Act prohibiting AK-47s.

With his high-capacity combat weapon, Martinez crippled 14 police cruisers.

He even shot the tires out of a BearCat armored vehicle.

“Bullets tore through cars, shattered windshields, shredded tires, and incapacitated engines,” Police Foundation President Jim Bueermann noted in a review. “Never in the history of U.S. law enforcement has a police force dealt with an incident like this.”

Meanwhile, Holt-Singh’s husband, Paul, got a text from his daughter: “Bank got robbed. They took mom.”

Paul and his daughter would never see Misty alive again. When the smoke cleared, she was found dead from 10 bullet wounds, the result of Ramos allegedly using her as a human shield.

Later that day, after Renteria and Martinez were zipped into body bags, and Huber and Koussaya were lying in a hospital, two of Barlowe’s ATF agents arrived on the streets of Stockton. It wasn’t the first time the agents had seen a ghost gun used in an exigent shooting event. The year before, John Zawahri— prohibited from owning guns due to mental illness—built his own AR-15 and used it for a shooting rampage at Santa Monica College. He killed five people and wounded four others. The Stockton case was also far from the last time the ATF would see ghost guns in the hands of gang members.

In December 2017, Barlowe and his team partnered with the Sacramento police and county sheriff’s depart-

ments to launch a major anti-gang operation that led to 29 arrests and the seizing of 211 illegal firearms. Barlowe says many of those weapons were ghost guns.

“We bought one from a 17-yearold gang member,” Barlowe recalls.

“And when that’s happening, you know they’re pretty available.”

In July, a new California law, Assembly Bill 857, goes into effect. It requires anyone who builds a ghost gun to apply to the state for a serial number, which arrives in the mail. It’s on the gun owner to etch it onto the weapon’s receiver. To an amateur gunsmith like Turner, the claim that AB 857 prevents crime is ridiculous for an obvious reason: It works on a voluntary honor system.

Turner says law-abiding gun owners will comply. Criminals and deranged loners won’t. If anything, the law is further fueling a belief with many gun enthusiasts that announcements around the state capital are about optics instead of reality.

As for Hanner, 30 years of being a journalist has left him with his own lingering questions about lawmakers’ commitment to putting problem-solving over political gain. That’s what has changed, Hanner says, since he was tasked with making sense of the hellish havoc at the schoolyard.

“Back then, the idea that a madman would walk onto a playground and slaughter children was beyond most peoples’ perception,” he admits. “But the politics weren’t as deeply entrenched as they are now. Back then, they took action.”

With children dashing out to the monkey bars and swings of Cleveland Elementary School, Hanner suddenly notices a tiny cardboard sign, written in permanent marker, hanging on the worn chain-link. It reads: “No bullying.

No violence.”

“I’m kind of surprised that there’s no permanent memorial,” Hanner mutters over the shouts and laughter.

“But maybe the kids being out there is memorial enough.” Ω

The ATF worked with Sacramento officers to seize hundreds of illegal weapons, including ghost guns, from gang members.

artist said he’s always been into emotionally heavy music. He was a metal kid who started listening to post-punk bands such as Joy Division in high school and later discovered new wave groups like The Cure and Depeche Mode. At 19, he bought an Akai XR20 drum machine and started emulating synthpop band Future Islands, gradually developing an electronic style of his own.

Now 25, Knowles has crafted a sound defined partially by his mournful baritone, which ranges from gravelly to operatic. In fact, some listeners mistakenly assume he uses studio trickery to pitch-shift his voice lower.

“It wasn’t until I started playing shows that people realized I was actually doing it live,” he said. “I don’t really know how I started singing that way. It just felt natural, and I have a couple of different inflections that I just sort of figured out over the years.”

Instrumentally, the new wave stuff he dug into as a teenager definitely seeped into his dark, industrial beats. In a live setting, Knowles plays synthesizers and guitar and syncs up his drum machine on the fly, but relies on computerized backing tracks for bass sounds. It’s a technical feat to pull off a show with

such a setup.

“There are always a little hiccups,” he said. “There are a couple of songs I love so much that I have to play them live, but there’s like a 50/50 chance that they will fall apart. But that’s kind of the fun part about playing live, you know?”

During the March 16 release show for Pure Desperation in Portland, Ore., Knowles’ video projector malfunctioned because he set it on the venue’s subwoofer.

“I tried to fix that halfway through one of the songs, and then I ran back and for some reason my synth had changed to a different setting,” he said.

“I was running all over the stage, but it didn’t seem to bother the audience at all. It’s like, if you have problems, get over it. It’s not worth ruining the rest of your set.”

Some parts of Pure Desperation are too complicated for Knowles to play live by himself, but he chose to keep them on the record because they fit into his overall sound—moodiness offset by relatively upbeat moments—which is a lot like Knowles himself.

“I put everything I have into this project,” he said. “All of myself is in my music.” □

may indeed “lightly turn toward thoughts of love.” But, just as Tennyson’s narrator in the poem “Locksley Hall” by discovered Carey so long ago, Wilson thoughts and acts of love often turn weighty and dour Review: with considerthe Village bike shows ations of sex, thursday-saturday, lust, reproduction 7:30 p.m., through and emotional March 31. tickets: $15 betrayal. Hence, (thursday: pay-what- British playyou-can) wright Penelope Skinner sets The Blue Room Theatre 139 W. First st. Village Bike—a 895-3749 darkly comic blueroomtheatre.com exploration of the complications of modern love—in the same pastoral Britain that held Tennyson’s poem, but with the additions of cellphones, pornographic DVDs and the “modern” perspective of sexual liberation.

We first meet newly pregnant English teacher Becky (Blake Nicole Ellis) and her advertising executive husband, John (Kyle Horst), preparing to bed down in their country cottage. Their conversation is a wittily entangled mass of double entendres as Becky tries to entice John with invitations to lovemaking while he obstinately

clings to discussing his concerns about their house’s faulty, and very noisy, plumbing. Even changing into a négligée and digging out the porn stash from under the bed fails to arouse John’s libido. The reversal of sexual stereotypes to horny woman vs. sexually reluctant man is played off convincingly and humorously as Becky settles in to enjoy herself, or at least relieve her frustrations, watching porn while John buries his head in pillows.

The titular MacGuffin of the play is a used bicycle that Becky wants to buy from neighbor Oliver (Evan Allen), ostensibly for exercise and to enjoy the beauty of their pastoral home but also to help burn off some of her increasingly frustrated sexual energy.

Interrupting their discussion of the bike’s potential virtues or detriments the next morning, Becky’s neighbor Jenny (Delisa Freistadt) brings treats and effusive admiration of her husband, John, into the mix. Jenny is frustrated with her housewife’s life of caring for her children and home despite the fact that she is a doctorate in astronomical physics. Freistadt, using humorous but subtly affected enunciation and facial expressions, brings her character to delightfully realistic, comic life.

Keeping with the theme of life imitating stereotypical porn scenarios, the humble, widowed village plumber, Mike (Steven Caples), arrives to assess how to best deal

with the cottage’s “sweaty pipes,” thereby triggering Becky’s fantasy of acting out her lustful thoughts.

Then, with immaculate timing, bike-seller Oliver arrives bedecked in a Shakespearean outfit for a village theater production, and his smarmy, bare-chested charm, dramatic manner of speaking, and overt admiration of Becky’s attractiveness add to her confused but irrefutable feelings of lust.

It wouldn’t be fair to delineate all of the ways in which that lust manifests and expresses itself as the characters interact and intervene on each other’s intentions and aspirations, but it is fair to say that Skinner’s tale weaves their differences into a post-modern amoral comedy of manners that may leave one feeling a bit doubtful about casting judgments or even feeling consistently sympathetic regarding their assorted entanglements.

It’s a tribute to the playwright—and especially the cast and director Ashlyn Barnett’s stagecraft—that despite some overly convenient plot mechanisms, one can accept and, perhaps queasily, enjoy the development of the story for the intrigue of seeing how the fantasy works itself out—reflecting the complications of actual love and love affairs. Or, as Tennyson put it way back when, “Make me feel the wild pulsation that I felt before the strife,/When I heard my days before me, and the tumult of my life.” □

That may sound like it has the makings of a mean-girls exploitation flick aimed at younger audiences. But Cory by Finley’s movie (skillfully adapted Juan-Carlos from his own play) is an elegant and Selznick uncommonly effective entry in the long long line of Hitchcock-inflected psychological thrillers.

The two young women are contrasting studies in beguiled affectlessness. Amanda has a shrewd sensitivity to nuances of damaged human behavior, but is also deeply scarred by her involvement in the destruction of her mother’s beloved thoroughbred horse.

scheme. Her animosity toward her rather supercilious stepfather (a haughty Paul Sparks) boils over into shared fantasies of lethal retribution, and the twists and turns of character derangement accelerate from that point on.

The story gets even better with the addition of sad-sack Tim (the late Anton Yelchin), a would-be wheeler-dealer who sells drugs to the young women’s contemporaries. His somewhat tattered presence in the story sharpens Finley’s themes of class conflict and hollow American dreams of financial triumph.

Finley’s script gives extra dimension to the psychological dramatics by way of the attention it pays to the points-of-view of the stepfather and the drug dealer.

There is, eventually, a murder, and the film does have its obliquely chilling, blood-stained moment. But the most significant developments in the later portions of the tale have to do with changing perspectives on those two male characters.

Cooke and Taylor-Joy are very good with their respective, complexly crazed characterizations.

Yelchin’s Tim, with his scruffy rummaging among even the most threadbare signs of success and selfrespect, gives the film its most appealingly “human” moments.

But all of the characterizations gain power through the film’s stylishly expressive technical design. The aggressively eclectic music track and sound design greatly enhance the film’s sense of psychological disarray. And a rowing machine, heard but not seen in an upstairs room, becomes an especially disquieting emissary of bad dreams and madness. □

Reviewers: Bob Grimm and Juan-Carlos Selznick.

Black Panther

With its black superhero and predominantly black cast, and its special mixture of action fantasy and social history, Black Panther is a monumental cultural event. And a key part of its specialness is that it’s also a richly entertaining movie.

Writer-director Ryan Coogler and co-writer Joe Robert Cole have produced a very engaging mixture of action movie and epic/utopian allegory. It’s an impressively mounted production throughout, and even with elements that are routine or generic, it makes fine use of a large and appealing cast.

Chadwick Boseman has the title role. He is T’Challa, the newly coronated king of the fictional African nation of Wakanda. His Black Panther-infused superpowers derive from vibranium, the super-strong metal that is the basis of Wakanda’s radically advanced technology. A key premise of the tale is that Wakanda has heretofore kept its highly developed civilization hidden from the rest of the world. Eventually, the new king will move to change all that, and Boseman proves to be well attuned to both the warrior and the statesman in the character. Cinemark 14.

Though limited, there will be a chinook fishing season this year the finest of seafoods, Fthepursue figurative glass contains half or those of us hankering to

the water it could. That is, some fishermen are relieved by the by season options Alastair Bland newly proposed by fishery managers, while others are dearly disappointed.

The agreement settled upon March 14 by the Pacific Fishery Management Council promises we will be fishing in California this year. There are three options on the table, each of which allows fishing through October. The council will meet again on April 11 and make a decision on which plan will be the one implemented.

In short, the outlook isn’t bad— and it comes as a surprise given we saw a direly low return of fall-run Sacramento River chinook in 2017.

Still, overall abundance of fish off the California coast right now is estimated to be quite high—better than last year—and even in the most restrictive of scenarios, we will be fishing by July 21.

Commercial fishermen, on the other hand, will be looking at a severely restricted season. Of their three options, each one prohibits salmon fishing in July from Point Arena in Mendocino County to Pigeon Point south of San Francisco. One of the alternatives

34

CN&R

March 29, 2018

on the table allows fishing only in September and on several days in October. Commercial fishermen might also have a week to fish in mid-June.

At the Coastside Fishing Club, a prominent fishing advocacy group in San Mateo, club member Dan Wolford is looking at the coming summer with a glass-half-empty stance. He was hoping for a longer recreational fishing season. In a recent press release issued in response to the management council’s season options, he argued that fishermen are being punished for flawed management of water by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, which many environmental and fishery groups have blamed for failing to keep river conditions downstream of dams suitable for spawning salmon, especially during the drought.

“While [the chinook’s] depressed status is the result of inland water management practices, it is the fishermen that are losing a big chunk of their season in order to rebuild these stocks,” Wolford said.

Still, fishermen might consider themselves very lucky that they’ll be fishing for salmon at all this year. The 2017 return of Sacramento River fall-run chinook was the second lowest on record. Just 44,000 of the fish

swam up the river last fall—about 15 percent of the long-term historical average—and only a notch above the 2009 return of 40,000 fish, when fishing was closed entirely for two years.

On the heels of such a poor return of spawning fish, why are we being allowed on the water at all? National Marine Fisheries Service biologists, it turns out, have calculated there are almost 600,000 fall-run chinook in the ocean off the California coast—229,400 of Sacramento River origin, and 359,200 fish from the Klamath. In total, that would make salmon more plentiful this year than they were last year, which was hailed by many as the best fishing season in recent memory.

But the late start to a fishing season that sometimes kicks off in April bothers many anglers.

Wolford, for one, warns fishermen will suffer the consequences of low salmon numbers until rivers are managed with an eye toward maintaining plentiful stocks.

“Until salmon receive adequate flows of cold water in their spawning and rearing areas, salmon abundance will remain low regardless of whether fishing is allowed or not,” he said. “Continuing to ask fishermen to carry the burden of fixing a problem they did not create is unjustified.” □

Warner Bros. records The English rock band Muse is easy to bag on. Since emerging as Radiohead wannabees way back in 1999, the group has become more pompous and cartoonishly overblown with each passing year. Frontman Matt Bellamy, especially, has increasingly embraced a silly, Gene Simmons-esque stage persona (minus face paint, plus shutter shades) and very much plays the part of guitar hero. But there’s a reason why Muse is one of the biggest bands on the festival and arena circuits, and its new standalone single, “Thought Contagion,” only reinforces that it’s best when causing a massive ruckus. The song starts with a bass riff that draws equally from the song “Fury,” a bonus track off the band’s 2003 album, Absolution, and the main theme from The Phantom of the Opera. Space-age synthesizers and pitch-shifting guitar effects abound, and the drums are cranked up to stadium-stomping status. The way Bellamy delivers the shrill, operatic vocal hook will ensure it gets stuck in your head, and he lays down a nasty, pitch-shifting solo à la Tom Morello. Guitar hero indeed.

—Howard Hardee

We Play Mossy Creek Self-produced Mossy Creek, one of Chico’s most enduring bands, continues to evolve with the its lively new project, We Play. In addition to traditional bluegrass flourishes that the band is most known for, We Play offers a pleasing supply of rollicking swing music and crafty lyrics. The 11-track album, recorded and mastered by local engineer Dale Price, includes nine originals plus the traditional folk song “Shenandoah,” and a cover of “‘39,” by Queen (the band sneaks a little of War’s “Low Rider” into one track). Now in its 16th year, Mossy Creek boasts a steady lineup of seasoned local players. Pat Haley, as he’s been since the beginning, is lead songwriter and guitar, banjo and Dobro player. Tamara Allspaugh offers flawless vocals on most of the material, and there are many skillful harmonica passages by Bob Littell. The rest of the cast includes Dean Mott (guitar/lap steel), Christine Hogan (fiddle), Kim Gimbal (bass), and Bob Kirkland (mandolin). If the members of this fine ensemble didn’t already have families and other careers, they could surely find an audience in the greater traditional American music scene.

IN THE MIX

on

Lo Moon Lo Moon columbia If you tend to keep your finger on the pulse, there’s an excellent chance you’ve felt a beat or two from Lo Moon. In the last few years the Los Angeles-based trio has built a reputation for its flawless, dynamic live shows, and it’s safe to say its self-titled debut album lives up to that standard. “Real Love” is the kind of synth-driven mellow pop that feels effortless, lifting off as it hits the chorus. Most of these tunes tend to fall into the same pattern of airy grooves built from tasteful, spacious synth rhythms, supporting singer Matt Lowell’s porcelain vocals as they move through sultry verses into roomy choruses. As a result, the songs blend together, but that also helps the listener sink into the album a little easier. Occasional moments do stand out, such as the doubled vocals on the choruses in “Wonderful Life.” Smooth and sturdy low-key pop.

ARTS DEVO

by Jason Cassidy • jasonc@newsreview.com

On June 28, 2016, a year to the day after local icon Jim dwyer (aka The

Rev. Junkyard Moondog) died on his way back to Chico from a Grateful Dead concert, steve Metzger, a longtime friend, bought Dwyer’s house—with the stipulation from Billy dwyer, Jim’s brother, that he leave Jim’s peace sign, made with freeway lane-divider dots, on the roof. He spent some $35,000 and untold hours fixing up the worn-down house to use as a short-term rental. Metzger, a one-time CN&R contributor, retired Chico state (and current Butte College) English instructor, is writing a book about Jim, the house and selected history of Chico, including the filming of The adventures of Robin Hood, Woody Guthrie’s little-known visit to town, the Chico Army Air Base and the early 1960s protests of the missile silos and the beginnings of the Chico peace movement. Anyone with information/stories about any of this Chico history can contact Metzger at smetzger@csuchico.edu. arts dEVo is excited to share this excerpt from the current draft of Metzger’s Brokedown Palace: a Remodel: 1 The End I used to tell my writing students that you can begin a story anywhere.

“Look,” I’d say, holding up a novel, short story, or narrative essay. “The writer could have begun this in a million different places.” Then I’d shut my eyes tight and let my finger run along a page, over onto another, dramatically brushing my fingertips over the words, then stop totally at random. “Ha!” I’d open my eyes. “‘Call me Ishmael’ is good,’” I’d say, “but so is ‘I stuffed a shirt or two into my carpet-bag, tucked it under my arm, and started for Cape Horn and the Pacific.’”

Or: “‘Stately plump Buck Mulligan came from the stairhead, bearing a bowl of lather on which a mirror and a razor lay crossed.’” Also good. More than. Classic. Iconic. But Joyce could also have begun at the end, with Molly’s soliloquy (as the 2004 film Bloom does): “Yes because he never did a thing like that before to ask me to get his breakfast in bed…” Or, with Chapter 2: ‘Leopold Bloom ate with relish the inner organs of beasts and fowls.’”

And so it is with any story: that of a young teenage girl running off to a bizarre and far-off land only to return to find that there’s no place like home; a lost extraterrestrial finding friendship in a lonely earthling; starcrossed teenage lovers in medieval Verona, dead at the hands of class conflict, blind passion, and a lost letter; a smirking, bow-and-arrow toting English ne’er-do-well who steals from the rich to give to the poor.

Or the story of a charmingly crazy poet-actor-scholar-altruist-environmentalist, who, in 2010, retired from his job as a university librarian and then spiraled into self-destruction and died trying to find his way home to his small northern California town after a long strange bus-train-and-taxi trip to a Fare Thee Well concert by a band that, 50 years prior and just a few miles away, had changed their name from the Warlocks to the Grateful Dead.

And, part of it all: the reimagining and resurrection of a small, longneglected cottage, built in 1938, the same year that Warner Bros. released The Adventures of Robin Hood—and to which, on the day it opened, the local movie house (still open all these years later but now home to rock and hip-hop concerts) offered free screenings to school children, many of whom had watched the filming from the oak and sycamore “Sherwood Forest,” staged in this small northern California college town. And the same year that Woody Guthrie passed through town, singing in the downtown plaza and camping in Bidwell Park.

One place among many to begin: April, 1979, ten o’clock on a Tuesday night in a tiny cinderblock house—across town from that little cottage and about a mile from where Errol Flynn and gang had made their movie 42 years earlier. A handful of English majors with guitars are trying their best to summon Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, John Prine and Kris Kristofferson. “Blowin’ in the Wind” sounds okay, and everyone knows “Angel From Montgomery,” which resonates throughout the room.

Just give me one thing that I can hold on to To believe in this living’s just a hard way to go And then, on “Me and Bobby McGee”: Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose.

You can begin a story anywhere. As long as you find a way back.

This New Bladder Control Pill May Replace Adult Diapers

Clinical studies show new pill may be effective enough to replace adult diapers for bladder control; initial users show dramatic reduction in trips to the bathroom, embarrassing leaking, and nighttime urgency.

Robert Ward, Associated Health Press AHP− Adult diaper sales are expected to plummet as results from a clinical trial on a new, patented bladder control pill have finally been released.

Sold under the brand name UriVarx™, the new pill contains key ingredients that keeps the bladder from releasing voluntarily, which reduces accidents and frequent bathroom trips.

Perhaps more impressive, it also targets the tiny muscles around the bladder, which helps the bladder to create a tighter seal.

This would explain why the average UriVarx™ user in clinical trials experiences a 66% reduction in urinary incontinence symptoms, such as day and night leaking and sudden urges to urinate.

NEW DISCOVERY IN BLADDER CONTROL Until now, doctors believed it was impossible to strengthen the muscles that control the bladder. They are amazed to see that it can now be done with the nonprescription UriVarx™ pill.

“As you get older, and the involuntary muscles around your bladder weaken, you lose urinary control. With your bladder wall unable to properly seal, you constantly leak and feel pressure to urinate” explains Dr. Bassam Damaj of Innovus Pharmaceuticals.

“UriVarx™ targets the bladder muscles and help restores vital kidney health, reducing urgency and frequency. It also helps you “hold it” for hours so you never have to worry about embarrassing accidents ever again!”

FREEDOM FROM SUDDEN URGES AND LEAKS Since hitting the market, sales for the patented UriVarx™ pill have soared and there are some very good reasons why.

To begin with, the double blind large clinical studies published in the clinicaltrials.gov have been impressive.

Participants taking UriVarx™ saw a stunning reduction in urinary frequency, which resulted in fewer bathroom trips both day and night.

They also experienced a dramatic decrease in incontinence episodes, such as leaking and bed wetting.

The active ingredients in UriVarx™ comes from a patented formula. It is both safe and healthy. There are also no known serious side effects in its history of use.

Scientists believe that the ingredients target the muscles of the bladder to grow stronger. These muscles are responsible for keeping the bladder tightly sealed.

They also help the bladder to completely empty, allowing bacteria to be flushed from the urinary tract.

Research has shown that as you get older, certain hormonal changes in the body cause these muscles to shrink and become lose. This is what causes the bladder to be over active and the resulting urine accidents and why UriVarx™ seems to be so effective in the published clinical trials.

EXCITING RESULTS FROM URIVARX USERS Many UriVarx™ users say their bladders have never been stronger. For the first time in years, they are confident and in complete control. Adult pads and diapers are no longer a big worry.

“After my third child, I couldn’t control my bladder. I was running to the bathroom all the time! And once I hit my 60s it became so unpredictable I needed to wear adult pads every day” explained Marie L. of Danbury, CT. “I was embarrassed so before going to my doctor I decided to try UriVarx and I’m so glad I did! The urgency is gone and I no longer feel like my bladder is about to explode. I can also “hold it” when I need to so I’m no longer living in constant fear of finding a bathroom.”

IMPRESSIVE CLINICAL RESULTS The exciting clinical results published on the government clinical website clinicaltrials.gov show that UriVarx™ can strengthen your bladder fast, significantly reducing the urine urgency and leaks.

In a new double-blind, placebocontrolled clinical study, 142 men and women with bladder control issues were separated into two groups. The first group

was given a placebo while the other received UriVarx™.

The results were incredible. The participants who received UriVarx™ saw major improvements in leaking, pressure, and the urgency to go − all without the usual side effects seen in prescription drugs! They also reported fewer trips to the bathroom both day and night.

Overall, the UriVarx™ group experienced: • 56% Reduction in Urge Incontinence • 66% Reduction in Stress Incontinence • 61% Reduction in Urgency • 33% Reduction in Frequency • 46% Reduction in Nighttime Bathroom Trips Additionally, at the end of clinical trial and after seeing the results, 84% of the participants taking UriVarx™ said it significantly improved their quality of life.

“The clinical findings are incredible, but people still wonder if it will really work” explains Dr. Bassam Damaj. “It’s normal to be skeptical, but we’ve seen thousands of UriVarx™ users get results exactly like the participants in the study. It’s an amazing product.”

HOW IT WORKS UriVarx™ is a pill that’s taken just once daily. It does not require a prescription.

The active ingredients are patented natural extracts.

Research shows that as we get older, the muscles which surround the bladder weaken. This is caused by hormonal changes in the body that causes the muscles to atrophy and weaken.

When they become too small and weak, they cannot seal your bladder shut, which causes leaking, accidents, among other incontinence symptoms.

It also prevents your bladder from fully emptying, which can result in persistent bacterial infections and UTIs. UriVarx’s™ active ingredient targets the muscles around the bladder, making them stronger. Supporting ingredients in UriVarx™ support kidney function and overall urinary health.

NEW PILL MAY REPLACE DIAPERS FOR BLADDER CONTROL: This new patented clinically proven pill solution is now available nationwide

BLADDER PROBLEMS GONE With daily use, UriVarx™ can restore strong bladder control and help users overcome leakage without the negative side effects or interactions associated with drugs.

Leakage sufferers can now put an end to the uncontrollable urges, the embarrassing accidents, and enjoy an entirely new level of comfort and confidence.

HOW TO GET URIVARX IN CALIFORNIA This is the official release of UriVarx™ in California. As such, the company is offering a special discounted supply to anyone suffering from bladder issues who calls within the next 48 hours.

A special hotline number and discounted pricing has been created for all California residents. Discounts will be available starting today at 6:00AM and will automatically be applied to all callers.

3/19/18 2:17 PM

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY For the week oF march 29, 2018 ARIES (March 21-April 19): A few years

ago, a New Zealander named Bruce Simpson announced plans to build a cruise missile at his home using parts he bought legally from eBay and other online stores.

In accordance with current astrological omens, I suggest you initiate a comparable project. For example, you could arrange a do-it-yourself space flight by tying a thousand helium balloons to your lawn chair.

APRIL FOOL! I lied. Please don’t try lunatic schemes like the helium balloon space flight. Here’s the truth: Now is a favorable time to initiate big, bold projects, but not foolish, big, bold projects. The point is to be both visionary and practical.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The

Finnish word kalsarikännit means getting drunk at home alone in your underwear and binging on guilty pleasures. It’s a perfect time for you to do just that. The Fates are whispering, “Chill out. Vegetate.

Be ambitionless.” APRIL FOOL! I told a half-truth. In fact, now is a perfect time to excuse yourself from trying too hard and doing too much. You can accomplish wonders and marvels by staying home and binging on guilty pleasures in your underwear. But there’s no need to get drunk.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Actor Gary

Busey is very sure there are no mirrors in heaven. He has other specific ideas about the place, as well. This became a problem when he was filming the movie Quigley, in which his character Archie visits heaven.

Busey was so enraged at the director’s mistaken rendering of paradise that he got into a fist fight with another actor.

I hope you will show an equally feisty fussiness in the coming weeks, Gemini.

APRIL FOOL! I lied, sort of. On the one hand, I do hope you’ll be forceful as you insist on expressing your high standards. Don’t back down! But on the other hand, refrain from pummeling anyone who asks you to compromise.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In the

Scots language still spoken in parts of Scotland, eedle-doddles are people who can’t summon initiative when it’s crunch time. They are so consumed in trivial or irrelevant concerns that they lose all instinct for being in the right place at the right time. I regret to inform you that you are now at risk of being an eedle-doddle.

APRIL FOOL! I lied. In fact, the truth is just the opposite. I have rarely seen you so well-primed to respond vigorously and bravely to Big Magic Moments. For the foreseeable future, you are King or Queen of Carpe Diem.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Paul McCartney

likes to periodically act like a regular person who’s not a famous musician. He goes grocery shopping without bodyguards. He rides on public transportation and strikes up conversations with random strangers.

I think you may need to engage in similar behavior yourself, Leo. You’ve become a bit too enamored with your own beauty and magnificence. You really do need to come down to earth and hang out more with us little people. APRIL FOOL! I lied. The truth is, now is prime time to hone your power and glory; to indulge your urge to shine and dazzle; to be as conspicuously marvelous as you dare to be.

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

days will be an excellent time to concoct an alchemical potion that will heal your oldest wounds. For best results, mix and sip a gallon of potion using the following magic ingredients: absinthe, chocolate syrup, cough medicine, dandelion tea, cobra venom, and worm’s blood. APRIL FOOL! I mixed a lie in with a truth. It is a fact that now is a fine time to seek remedies for your ancient wounds. But the potion I recommended is bogus. Go on a quest for the real cure.

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

will soon receive a wealth of exotic and expensive gifts. For example, a benefactor may finance your vacation to a gorgeous sacred site or give you the deed to an enchanted waterfall. I won’t be surprised if you’re blessed with a solid gold bathtub or a year’s supply of luxury cupcakes. It’s

by rob brezsny even possible that a sugar daddy or sugar momma will fork over $500,000 to rent an auditorium for a party in your honor.

APRIL FOOL! I distorted the truth. I do suspect you’ll get more goodies than usual in the coming weeks, but they’re likely to come in the form of love and appreciation, not flashy material goods. (For best results, don’t just wait around for the goodies to stream in; ask for them!)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): There’s

a narrow waterway between Asia and Europe. In the fifth century B.C., Persian King Xerxes had two bridges built across it so he could invade Greece with his army. But a great storm swept through and smashed his handiwork. Xerxes was royally peeved. He ordered his men to whip the uncooperative sea and brand it with hot irons, all the while shouting curses at it, like “You are a turbid and briny river.” I recommend that you do something similar, Scorpio. Has Nature done anything to inconvenience you? Show it who’s the supreme boss! APRIL FOOL! I lied. The truth is, now is an excellent time for you to become more attuned and in love with a Higher Power, however you define that. What’s greater than you and bigger than your life and wilder than you can imagine? Refine your practice of the art of surrender.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Fifteenth-century Italian painter Filippo Lippi was such a lustful womanizer that he sometimes found it tough to focus on making art. At one point, his wealthy and politically powerful patron Cosimo de’ Medici, frustrated by his extracurricular activities, imprisoned him in his studio to ensure he wouldn’t get diverted. Judging from your current astrological omens, Sagittarius, I suspect you need similar constraints. APRIL FOOL! I fibbed a little.

I am indeed worried you’ll get so caught up in the pursuit of pleasure that you’ll neglect your duties. But I won’t go so far as to suggest you should be locked up for your own good.

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

is a favorable time to slap a lawsuit on your mom in an effort to make her pay for the mistakes she made while raising you.

You could also post an exposé on social media in which you reveal her shortcomings, or organize a protest rally outside her house with your friends holding signs demanding she apologize for how she messed you up. APRIL FOOL! Everything I just said was ridiculous and false. The truth is, now is a perfect moment to meditate on the gifts and blessings your mother gave you. If she is still alive, express your gratitude to her. If she has passed on, do a ritual to honor and celebrate her.

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

ian author Alice Walker won a Pulitzer Prize for her novel The Color Purple. She has also published 33 other books and built a large audience. But some of her ideas are not exactly mainstream. For example, she says that one of her favorite authors is David Icke, who asserts that intelligent extraterrestrial reptiles have disguised themselves as humans and taken control of our planet’s governments. I bring this to your attention, because I think it’s time that you, too, reveal the full extent of how crazy you really are. APRIL FOOL! I halflied. While it’s true that now is a favorable time to show more of your unconventional and eccentric sides, I don’t advise you to go full-on whacko.

Danger! You are at risk of contracting a virulent case of cherophobia! And what exactly is cherophobia? It’s a fear of happiness. It’s an inclination to dodge and shun joyful experiences because of the suspicion that they will disappoint you or cause bad luck. Please do something to stop this insidious development. APRIL FOOL! I lied. The truth is that you are currently more receptive to positive emotions and delightful events than you’ve been in a log time.

Love’s Real estate

Scary Reform

“Have you read the new tax reform bill? They’re about to pass it into law!” It was my friend, The Finance Guy. “You people in real estate should be scared!” The Finance Guy makes dour predictions every year about the real estate market. His excitement today, I assumed, was at the prospect of his latest dour prediction coming true.

“Uh, no, I haven’t read it,” I said. Truth be told, there was no chance I would ever read the tax reform bill. From what I had heard the bill was four inches thick. Let the attorneys read it and explain it to us.

“There are parts of the bill that will bring real estate to its knees,” said The Finance Guy. “You should read it!”

affordable; the 1031 exchange that allows investors to sell their property without the government taking all their money.”

“That doesn’t sound like good news,” I said.

“Very perceptive, my boy,” said The Finance Guy. “You better read that bill!”

Luckily, the National Association of Realtors has attorneys who did read the bill and then mounted a lobbying campaign. The tax reform bill passed without killing the incentives for owning real estate.

I called The Finance Guy.

“What will bring real estate to its knees this time?” I asked.

“Looks like the real estate world dodged a bullet,” I said.

“Oh just the killing of the primary benefits and incentives that cause people to own real estate in the first place,” said The Finance Guy. “Little things like the capital gains tax exclusion that allows us to sell our homes and keep our money; the mortgage interest tax write-off that makes monthly payments

“That may be, my boy,” said The Finance Guy, “but the rest of that tax reform bill could cause nervousness for people, which could have consequences for your real estate market. You should read it!”

Not a chance.
