EDITORIAL

callous disregard for victims’ rights Brett Kavanaugh’s hasty confirmation to the Supreme

Court sends a clear and decisive message to women the nation over—irrespective of political affiliation—that the president and GOP have no interest in hearing or doing anything about sexual violence.

Senate Republicans’ fabricated outrage over the treatment of fratboy Kavanaugh during the vetting process is one of the most insincere theatrical episodes the legislative branch has undertaken during the trainwreck that is the Trump era. And that’s saying a lot. Their handling of the accusations levied by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and other women in Kavanaugh’s social sphere decades ago sets a chilling tone of callous disregard for victims’ rights.

We know from watching the confirmation hearings that Kavanaugh is far from Supreme Court material.

There, he dodged questions, vocalized conspiracy theories involving Bill and Hillary Clinton, and quarreled with those who attempted to determine if he is a serial drinker and would-be rapist. Indeed, Brett Kavanaugh showed us exactly who he is: a petty, belligerent, unstable partisan who admittedly has a penchant for alcohol.

Here is a choice quote from his testimony: “This is a circus. The consequences will extend long past my nomination. The consequences will be with us for decades. This grotesque and coordinated character assassination will dissuade competent and good people

of all political persuasions from serving our country.

“And as we all know, in the United States’ political system of the early 2000s, what goes around comes around.”

How’s that for a not-so-veiled threat?

Among his many character flaws—the drinking and misogyny, etc.—Kavanaugh is a liar.

In fact, he lied under oath. Several classmates, also Republicans, have contradicted his testimony that he never drank to the point of blacking out. They also contradicted Kavanaugh’s testimony about the crude and sexist passages he penned for his yearbook entry. Moreover, he lied under oath about how he learned about the sexual misconduct allegations—he testified he’d read about them in a news story, but it’s been revealed he began to try to discredit his alleged victims months prior to the confirmation hearings.

The Senate’s efforts to jam through the embattled, ultra-conservative Kavanaugh—in spite of a mound of questions as to his fitness—are demonstrative of just how out of touch the predominately white, aged, male senators are with everyday America. Many of the aforementioned pols are part of a dying breed clinging to the last vestiges of their prominence and power. The price to the republic be damned.

In this case, the cost is the legitimacy of the nation’s highest court. It is marred for the foreseeable future. Ω

GUEST COMMENT

Documenting the disastrous rightward lurch Fahrenheit 11/9, M clarion call to seize the opportunity we have to use what is left of our democracy to keep this counichael Moore’s new movie,

is a

try from driving off a cliff.

Don’t think that you are immune to what is happening in this country because you live in a fairly prosperous, white, sheltered community. There are multiple Americas, and many of them are suffering.

I was surprised at the size of the outrage just this year shown to us so clearly by this documentary and not by the media. The recently by Benjamin Hills departed CEO of CBS was quoted as saying about the whole Trump the author is a phenomenon: “It may not be good photographer, writer and film critic. He has for the country, but it’s damn good lived in chico for for us.”

major news networks in minimizing widespread support for Bernie Sanders. All this and much— more that led to the election of an incompetent president and the disaster for so many in the two years since is explained in this film. The poisoning of Flint, Mich., and the hopelessness of people disenfranchised by policies designed to remove the rights we have come to expect did not have to happen. The speeches of Donald Trump chosen by Moore make it clear that recent policy changes are deliberately written to advance white supremacy at the expense of the rest of America.

As a 103-year-old woman who drops her ballot in the box in the film says, “This is the most important election in my lifetime.” A T-shirt on a man in one of his rallies sums up the rightward lurch Trump has precipitated, declaring “I’d rather be Russian than Democrat.”

This movie is an informative history of crime, incompetence and malfeasance fueled by greed, ignorance and a lust for power. If we are lucky it will come back to a screen in town before the election. Ω

SECOND & FLUME

blasts from the past If this newspaper feels heftier than the typical CN&R, it’s because this is our annual jumbo-size Best of Chico issue. At 76 pages, it’s close to double the average. It also happens to be our most-read issue of the year. People love contests, you see. This one, now in its 35th year, is the biggest and … well … best around these parts.

After we put the finishing touches on the list of winners in 146 categories of Readers’ Picks—whew, you read that right—as well as our Editors’ Picks, I began wondering what the contest was like in its beginnings. So, I headed over to our bound volumes and began skimming old issues, including the inaugural edition of Best of Chico in the mid-1980s. Remember, we’re talking pre-internet.

Best of Chico definitely has evolved over the years. For starters, the Editors’ Picks back then were interspersed with the Readers’ Picks. For instance, Best Mexican Food (El Indio) is followed shortly thereafter by Best Political Feud (“gadfly Kelly Meagher and Supervisor Hilda Wheeler,” who “seek any opportunity at the Tuesday Board of Supervisors’ meeting to zap their opponents.”).

I’ve lived around these parts for 20 years—and have visited family here all my life—but I learned a thing or two reading the writeups. For example, that upside down airplane that used to be on the top of the old Spirits of America gas station at Nord and Glenwood avenues was a real plane, not a prop, as I’d always assumed.

According to a cheeky Best of Chico category, Best Plane in Architecture, which clearly is a staffer’s random blurb, that plane was a 1947 Ercoupe that crashed at the Paradise Airport back in 1979.

Evidently, the mini mart’s owner recruited members of the Lambda Pi fraternity to hoist it on the building. “Their payment: two cases of champagne.” Sounds pretty Chico to me.

Another fun one from back in the day: Best Skinny Dipping Spot.

Now, the picks written by staffers aren’t bylined, but I can pretty much guarantee that one was penned by retired CN&R Editor Robert Speer. For the record, according to the write-up, it’s Brown’s Hole.

More memory lane Best of Chico: Best Beer Tavern: Joe’s Place; Best Hamburger Drive-In: Foster’s Old-Fashioned Freeze; Best Basement: La Fonda; Best Closed Punk Bar: Nellie’s; Best Defunct Newspaper: The Butte County Bugle.

We hope you enjoy reading the 2018 version.

SPeAking Of tHe beSt, I have a few more to mention.

First off, this month marks CN&R Art Director Tina Flynn’s 40th year with the company. Tina is pretty much the anchor around here.

She not only works meticulously on each page, like the lovely cover of this issue, but is truly indispensable in numerous other ways. Her duties range from—I kid you not—designing the paper to ordering supplies like toilet paper. Happy anniversary to her!

And last, but not least, a heartfelt happy retirement shout-out to longtime CN&R distribution driver Mara Schultz, who, from 2002 until recently, delivered this newspaper to the Paradise Ridge, rain or shine. Before that, she worked in the classified department. Mara is a fellow animal lover and kick in the pants and all of us appreciate her long service. That includes the folks on her route, who I’m told still ask about her.

On the last issue Re “Homeless script flipped” (Newslines, by Ashiah Scharaga), “Stepping down” (Newslines,

by Meredith J. Cooper) and “An odious letter” (Letters, by Tom Malolepszy): Thoughts on the Oct. 4 edition of the CN&R: 1) Chico has declared a “shelter crisis,” but the devil is in the details; i.e, with his motion to capture state funding for the Jesus Center—to be renamed the “Renewal Center” (a “point-of-intake” facility, replacing Chico’s only soup kitchen)— Councilman [Andrew] Coolidge signaled, once again, that all roads must lead to a “consolidation” compound.

2) Our council was again unanimous in its tone-deaf approach to human rights in the public space, as evidenced in wide support for a permanent homeless hit-squad, aka Street Crimes Unit.

3) With the closing of Stairways, 30 people will lose shelter—however squalid. It’s a disaster. Were we to learn anything

from this failure, we’d have to go much deeper into how Michael Madieros and his ally, real estate mogul Wayne Cook, manipulated the homeless issue for years, with scant understanding of how “velvet hammer” criminalization—and our failure to provide real services and decent housing—afflicts those on the streets.

4) In conflating the Brock Turner case with the Brett Kavanaugh travesty, letter writer Tom Malolepszy unwittingly illustrates the point of my guest comment: In the realm of gender, we are increasingly incapable of well-reasoned, dispassionate discourse.

Patrick Newman Chico

More on homelessness It is time that we take a realistic view of the homeless situation in Chico. We have a crisis!

Punishment has not worked, the homeless are not going away.

Consolidation is too little too late.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Sept. 18, 2018,

that as long as there is no option of sleeping indoors, the government cannot criminalize people for sleeping outdoors on public property.

My friend Patrick Newman has been arguing this for years! Patrick has been a consistent, loud and clear voice for the rights of the homeless.

Not only has he defended their right to exist in our city, he has personally taken action to defend their right to use the plaza by distributing food and clothes each Sunday.

Patrick has been right all along.

Now it’s not only his opinion, it’s California law.

What’s next? Now we wait for the lawsuits against the city for criminalization of the homeless. We still have a crisis with no solution in view.

If they did not believe Dr. Ford, they’re not going to believe me either.

What would the discussion have been if Sharpe had broken free, continued to flee and then crashed into and killed a car full of innocent bystanders? The decision of the city of Chico to make this payment is a bad decision.

Mark Priano Chico

—ralph Slater

“You can’t legislate morals; making a law that says you will do right.”

Mr. Beadle nailed it. Quote: “Those who control the nation’s wealth will control the legislative process, and laws will favor capitalism, not democracy.” With almost any analogy, to have the insight and to express such in coherent language is to be commended. When the subject is our quality of life—whether it be financial, moral, etc.—it requires a process to not only recognize the circumstances, but also to do something about it.

Take, for example, the hound dog that was sounding off with such an expression of pain that the passerby asks, what in the hell is wrong with that poor dog? The reply came back: He’s sitting on his tail.

Ernie Bean Paradise

Settlement feedback Re “Settlement in sight” (Downstroke, Oct. 4): It is unfortunate that innocent victims in many cases do not receive the same support and justice from our courts as those who commit criminal acts.

PursuitSAFETY does not support fleeing drivers and is disgusted at the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision upholding the excessive force claim of the officer-involved shooting of Breanne Sharpe.

We are dismayed that the city of Chico will offer up a settlement to her mother. This individual led police on a high-speed chase in February 2013 driving a stolen vehicle putting innocent bystanders at risk. Seven months later, she is again eluding officers in a pursuit, fleeing, running into a pole, trees, vehicles and putting the car in reverse toward officers. As a repeat offender, Sharpe again put the lives of police officers and innocent bystanders in danger. If she would not have again been breaking the

Back and forth Re “The upsell” (Letters, by Peter Bridge, Oct. 4): Mr. Bridge, I didn’t realize that your argument is that abortion is somehow OK, but shouldn’t make up 3 percent of a clinic’s business.

Let’s start with your apparent premise that the word “abortion” describes a bad thing.

Abortion is an option every woman has a right to. Abortion is a medical procedure. Abortion is virtually unavailable in many areas because of the Christian right’s “belief” that theirs is the only correct opinion on the matter.

Abortion phobia fuels hate and murder in its addicts. Abortion is a subject 73-year-old men like me have little business opining on.

Did I use “abortion” enough times that it takes the stigma of the word away? I doubt it.

As for the rest, I have hiked naked, self-medicated and paid my taxes with no thought they were confiscatory. I plan on choosing the way I die if at all possible, like my late wife did. I am glad we have a strong government to provide the many services we desire, and regulate the people who would take all they can of the common (stuff that belongs to all of us) for their own enrichment.

Rich Meyers Oroville

He likes Jerry Re “Faux eco gov” (Letters, by Garry Cooper, Oct. 4): I’ll add (to a recent letter) some important points in the role that Gov. Jerry Brown has accomplished in moving California to a green state. In the 1970s, Brown forced the utilities to pay manufactures for electricity produced in the cogeneration process, thus reducing the need for coal plants, like the one that PG&E proposed south of Chico, which was stopped by Jane Dolan. Brown also was the first in the country to start wind turbine farms (Altamont Pass, Bay Area).

Today, Gov. Brown is the international leader on the threats of Earth heating up, while the Republicans, led by Trump, have their heads in the sand.

Over the decades I have observed some at meetings criticizing Vice President Al Gore (awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 for his environmental work), Gov. Jerry Brown and other climate change leaders for not solving every problem the world is facing, yet the critics drove to the meetings in oversize SUVs or very old polluting cars.

Bob Mulholland Chico

Roundabout revulsion Re “A visual feast” (Second & Flume, by Melissa Daugherty, Sept. 27): I hate this new structure in the roundabout. It is too tall and obstructs my ability to see the cars about to enter the roundabout or the ones already in it. [It cost] $378,000 to make it more difficult!

What a waste of money! Now I will always avoid that intersection when I go downtown.

The streets around where I live aren’t even paved to the curb! And there are numerous pot holes— why can’t they fix that?

NEWSLINES DOWNSTROKE PARTY PUNCHERS

Five people apparently tried to force their way into a private house party last week and resorted to throwing punches when turned away. That night, Oct. 4, ended in a stabbing.

About 11:15 p.m., Chico police officers arrived at a home on the 600 block of West Sixth Street to find a 21-year-old man who had been stabbed in the upper leg.

Witnesses told police that five unfamiliar people—three men and two women—had tried to join the festivities, and when asked to leave, they started a fight by “suckerpunching” random party-goers.

Officers found the suspects and their getaway car, a white Honda Civic, the next night on Oak Street.

Amarion Lang, 24, of Sacramento, was identified as the alleged stabber; and Angelo Craver, a 20-year-old convicted felon, also of Sacramento, was arrested for carrying a concealed and loaded pistol.

POT ZONING ADVANCES IN OROVILLE

Cannabis businesses hoping to operate in Oroville moved a step closer to legality last Thursday (Oct. 4), when the city’s Planning Commission passed a zoning ordinance for City Council approval.

On a 3-to-1 vote, with three members absent, the commission recommended allowing dispensaries to set up shop no closer than 1,000 feet from parks, schools, day care centers and churches—up from 600 feet in an earlier draft—and prohibiting any cannabis business except for dispensaries from displaying a commercial sign. Visit tinyurl.com/OrovilleCannabis to find the provisions.

The council has not yet set a date to consider the ordinance.

MISSING CHICO MAN FOUND DEAD Butte County Sheriff’s officers determined the fate of a Chico man missing for a week when they discovered his body Monday afternoon (Oct. 8) in a Concow-area canyon.

Robert Gonzales, 53, last contacted his family Oct. 1. The Chico Police Department got a missing person’s report last Wednesday (Oct. 3). According to a sheriff’s office press release, family members told police that Gonzales (pictured) was planning to stay with a friend who lives in the Big Bend area of Concow. The search for him started last Friday.

Sheriff’s detectives are investigating the cause of death.

Sign of the times Chicoans targeted for promoting equality

W States’ 45th president, Liz Michelena found her political calling. hen Donald Trump became the United

“I woke up the morning after Election Day with the dread of having to face my story and children and tell them photo by Ashiah the news,” she said. “I Scharaga had to show them when things go wrong, you ash i a h s @ stand up and you act.” n ew sr ev i ew. c o m She joined likeminded citizens who formed Mobilize Chico, dedicating themselves to the mission of defending human rights and dignity and preserving democratic values through political engagement.

At the same moment, nearly 500 miles away, Nasty Women Get Shit Done PDX launched in Portland, Ore., with a similar goal. Collaborating with Portland artists, the group created an American flag image that has since been emblazoned on tens of thousands of yard signs, stickers and posters.

One of those signs rests in Michelena’s yard. It reads: “In our America all people are equal, love wins, black lives matter,

immigrants & refugees are welcome, disabilities are respected, women are in charge of their bodies, people & planet are valued over profit, diversity is celebrated.”

Proceeds of the flag sales have gone to organizations supporting those values. As of August, the Portland group has donated $110,350.

Michelena has had her sign up for more than a year and enjoys spotting dog walkers in her California Park neighborhood who stop to read it and offer a thumbs up.

Recently, however, she received an angry letter in the mail.

Signed by an Edward Stevens from “Maini” Street, the letter says that the Michelena family’s sign is offensive to neighbors because it is hate speech supporting Black Lives Matter. Though BLM is a global activist movement—with members who protest police killings of black people, police brutality, racial profiling and racial inequality—the writer argues that it is a “terrorist group” that supports the killing of America’s police officers. Stevens—though the name is potentially an alias—continues by asking the Michelenas to leave the coun-

try. Beneath his signature are the initials of 13 supposed neighbors.

Upon reading, Michelena felt mixed emotions of amusement, anger and disbelief. The writer bought into what she calls a “Fox News cult” mentality, fueled by misinformation and propaganda.

Michelena supports BLM and police officers, and advocates for more police training when it comes to racial bias and use of nonlethal force.

“It’s not an either/or,” she said. “The sign is standing up for so many threatened communities.”

Michelena reported the letter to the FBI tip line, in case it is part of a larger hate campaign; bought 25 more “In Our America” signs to give to her neighbors and friends; then returned to her activist duties with Mobilize.

It turned out she wasn’t the only target in

Chico.

Deborah Pruitt had a chance meeting with Michelena at a recent Mobilize Chico event, in which members stood in solidarity with survivors of sexual assault and pro-

tested Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation as Supreme Court justice.

The pair were discussing this year’s election and found out they both received the same letter criticizing their “In Our America” signs, despite living in different neighborhoods.

The day Pruitt received the letter in the mail, from an Edward Stevens on “Coit Tower Way,” it hit her like a slap in the face, she told the CN&R. She had been through an exhausting week with her husband, Larry Jenson, who was seeking medical care in the Bay Area.

She worried that her family had been targeted and called the police, speaking with an officer who said there were no other complaints made or reports of vandalism in the area, and that the letter writer likely just wanted to be heard.

When Pruitt found out there was another person impacted by this, she felt less alone. The women suspect that there are other letter recipients across the city.

It’s no question that the cultural norms for acceptable behavior have changed since 2016, Pruitt said. She was a longtime professor of anthropology in the Bay Area before moving to Chico with her husband last year.

“I am very sad to see how things are going in our society right now. These are core American values, and we still stand for that … I think the sign expresses confidence and openness, and then people react out of fear. That says to me they feel insecure.”

This incident has caused Michelena to

reflect on her political activism.

Before the 2016 election, Michelena was content voting and sharing articles online, and now she has a laundry list of ways she has become politically engaged, including canvassing for a friend running for Chico City Council, participating in protests and marches, serving as a Democratic Party delegate and attending council meetings.

“The country has become so polarized, and civil discourse about why we believe the way we believe is so difficult, because we’re all in our own echo chambers,” she told the CN&R. “I want to live in a country where diversity is celebrated, women are valued and nobody feels under threat because of who they are, and all of that has tumbled so far downhill over the past two years that it feels like I’m baling out the ocean one teaspoon at a time.

“Democracy takes work, and we’ve been lazy and complacent,” she added.

“And that time is over.” Ω

Council seat sweepstakes Fundraising for Chico’s 2018 election reaches almost $300,000 Candidates for Chico City Council are in the

final stretch of campaign season, which means they’re ramping up spending on everything from mailers to billboards. To date, this could well be the most expensive race yet (in 2016, now-Mayor Sean Morgan raised about $62,000).

The seven candidates who are accepting donations have brought in a whopping $286,718. It should come as no surprise that the conservative trio has garnered the major-

ity of that financial backing, with each of its three candidates bringing in more than $50,000.

Here are the numbers, as gathered from campaign finance documents filed with the city of Chico—the most recent reporting date being Sept. 22. The majority of the spending has occurred in the past couple of months, and it’s safe to expect that to increase as we inch closer to November.

· Progressive Alex Brown has raised $20,805.25. The majority of her contributions have come in smaller denominations of less than $100—with many $27. (Bernie Sanders

SIFT ER Best in energy efficiency It’s likely not a surprise that California is one of the most energy-efficient states in the nation.

The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy released its 2018 State Energy Efficiency Scorecard this month. California ranked second, following Massachusetts. As the national government has loosened environmental rules, top states are those that have chosen to continue investing in energy efficiency. The report evaluates state policies/programs for utilities, buildings, transportation, combined heat/ power and appliances. Massachusetts established three-year energy savings targets and approved utility spending to update its power grid. Meanwhile, California rolled out an updated zero-emissions vehicles plan, and required new

homes and commercial buildings be net zero energy by 2020 and 2030, respectively.

Overall, states invested nearly $8 billion in utility energy efficiency in 2017, up from $7.6 billion in 2016. This resulted in a 7.3 percent increase in electricity savings—enough to power about 2.5 million U.S. homes per year.

Top five states: 1. Massachusetts 2. California 3. Rhode Island

famously received an average of $27 per donor and pulled in over $8 million during his run for the presidency in 2016.) The majority of her expenditures—which actually outpace her fundraising, at $21,557.06— have gone to billboards and mailers.

· In 2017, incumbent Andrew Coolidge raised $21,445, and this year his supporters have thrown in an additional $31,160, bringing his fundraising total to $52,605. About $10,000 was a loan to himself. The majority of his contributions came in the $250 range. To date, he’s spent the most—nearly $32,000—on his campaign, $21,000 the past couple of months. About $8,500 of that has gone toward campaign literature, plus $5,000 toward radio ads. · Matt Gallaway has raised $62,721.50, with almost half of that coming in last year— $30,350—and the rest, $32,371.50, this year.

The majority of his contributions were either $100 or $500, with only a handful clocking in at less than $100. As an architect and a conservative, it’s unsurprising that much of his campaign money has come from builders and developers. He’s spent about $20,000 to date, the majority on campaign literature. · Among the progressives, Scott Huber has raised the most—$37,299.41—with the majority in donations of under $150. He’s spent about $23,500, much of it on lawn signs and billboards.

Like many Americans, regardless of

political affiliation, Chris Smith has grown increasingly disappointed with the tone of political discourse. His unease hit an apex after the 2016 presidential election.

“I was noticing there was a big chunk on the left and right who couldn’t talk to each other anymore,” he told the CN&R. “I think there’s also a big chunk in the middle … that can still talk and we’re seeing this degradation. Those of us on the sidelines have let our civil institutions degrade.”

Smith counted himself among those “watching from the sidelines” even though he’d “been somebody who’d always been interested in politics.” At that point, he continued, “I figured it was time to stop sitting around, step up as a Viewing info: citizen and start Visit facebook.com/ trying to do NorCalNewsNow to find podcast videos, typisomething.” cally uploaded 7 p.m.

In up Wednesday evening. fact, he’s won two regional Emmys for his work with teens on public service announcements. (See “The Emmy goes to …,” Scene, July 5, 2012.)

So, when he discovered that friends Mike Richman and Aaron Haar wanted to launch a podcast offering politicians and other community members a forum for expressing their ideas, he jumped on as a producer.

“Building a place where rational people on the left and right can talk intelligently, without shouting, is something I figured I could contribute,” Smith added.

Along with Ben Weddell, who works for Smith at RocketSpots TV in Paradise, they’ve created NorCal News Now—a recurring program that streams online via Facebook as well as YouTube. It debuted in April 2017 as an audio pod-

cast, upgrading to video this past February after 18 episodes.

“Every time we could come in and do a show, Aaron would look longingly at those cameras and go, ‘Can’t we just do this on video?’”

Richman recalled with a chuckle.

“We started doing it, and it’s really changed the equation.”

Richman hosts; Haar provides political commentary; both interview guests. Weddell, as coproducer and booker, brings in people from across party lines: Democrats such as congressional candidate Audrey Denney and Senate challenger Kevin de León; Republicans such as Travis Allen, who lost the gubernatorial primary; even a democratic socialist, David Hildebrand, who ran against de León in June.

Monday (Oct. 15), NorCal News Now will hold its first public event— a forum for Chico City Council candidates—which it will broadcast two days later (see infobox).

Viewership varies based on the

guest and topic. Richman cited a recent episode with Assembly candidate Sonia Aery, a Chico Democrat, as typical, drawing 2,000 views and 60 shares.

Richman brings journalistic credentials to the interview desk.

A Rutgers grad, he came to Chico in 2000 to write for Magical Blend magazine, then moved to Quality Digest in 2004, becoming publisher the next year. For that businessto-business publication, Richman decided in 2011 that video content was essential, so he added a weekly show—Quality Digest Live—to the website. (See “Quality control,” 15 Minutes, May 8, 2014.)

He hired Smith as his producer.

Haar, whom Richman met soon after moving from New Jersey, is active in statewide Democratic politics. He managed the 2016 congressional campaign for Jim Reed, who lost to GOP incumbent Doug LaMalfa—whom, by the way, Richman hopes they can book for NorCal News Now. Haar also serves as a Chico city parks commissioner, appointed by progressive City Councilman Karl Ory. “He’s a partisan—he would own up to it as well,” Richman said of Haar. “He’s supported progressive candidates, he’s an operative.

“His knowledge is terrific, but on both sides of the equation. He knows the strategy and tactics on the other side, as well. For color commentary, he’s valuable.”

When booking guests, Richman said producers “make that [affiliation] real clear … and I don’t hide the fact that I’m left-leaning, too.”

He considers himself “a centrist” and, by asking about biographical information and broad ideas instead of political minutiae, Richman feels he counterbalances his co-host.

“I don’t feel a real need to editorialize,” Richman added. “I feel our job is to ask good questions and give our guests two, three minutes to spread out and really say what they’re thinking. Yeah, follow up— but in a respectful way.”

As for a political tone for the show, “I always try to drag it to the middle regardless of who the guest is.”

Ahealthy than 500 presentations countywide about relationships and intimate partner

lyssa Cozine estimates she has given more

violence.

During her nearly six years as Catalyst Domestic Violence Services’ community educator, she cannot think of one presentation that hasn’t led to a teen or adult sharing a story of domestic violence, either experienced personally or by a friend or relative.

Cozine, who has her master’s degree in psychology, recalled one session in which she was teaching high-schoolers about the cycle of abuse—a theory explaining behavioral patterns in abusive relationships. In these instances, couples go through stages: tension—during which stress builds from daily life—leading to violence from the abuser, followed by a honeymoon, reconciliation or calm period, before tension begins

to build again.

One girl had an epiphany during the session, confiding in Cozine: “That was present in my [former] relationship. … Looking back, that was definitely what was happening.”

This sort of moment—opening the eyes and minds of teens—is just one example of Catalyst’s outreach efforts, which also include preventative education in elementary schools. The private, not-for-profit agency has engaged in violence prevention and advocated for victims of domestic abuse, and their children, for more than 40 years.

Though often the hardest part of its work to fund, the organization’s education and outreach team has increased by two professionals in the past five years. In the same amount of time, it has created annual events like the Love Is acoustic showcase, in which local musicians perform songs that promote healthy relationships, and Youth Empowered, a conference that teaches eighth-graders about bystander intervention—how to step in safely during dangerous situations with their peers, before an assault happens.

Every October, for Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the agency puts together educational and free events to honor the lives of those lost to domestic violence and to celebrate healthy relationships. One in 3 people will experience relationship abuse in their lifetime, and that includes emotional abuse. Cozine says it is a common misconception that in order to be a victim of intimate partner abuse, someone has to experience physical pain.

This year, Catalyst has joined the California Partnership to End Domestic Violence, taking on the theme of “the personal is political,” in light of witnessing the “heartbreak of survivors having to prove their trauma on the national stage.” This was most recently exemplified by Christine Blasey Ford, who publicly testified that

has grown in many areas.

In the beginning, “there was a group of women who kept seeing the need [for refuge] and hearing stories about women wanting to leave relationships, feeling unsafe and having nowhere to go,” Associate Director Jackie Kent told the CN&R. “People took it upon themselves to have a community response and invited people into their own homes.”

Catalyst’s emergency shelter, Haven, opened in 1985. Today, after multiple expansions, it provides shelter for 32 domestic violence survivors of all gender identities.

Catalyst also offers four single-family transitional homes. There are drop-in centers in downtown Chico and Oroville, and by appointment in Paradise. Other services include counseling, a 24/7 hotline and legal help, the most common for filing restraining orders.

Last year, the agency served 1,259 adults and 72 children. It offered 8,679 nights of shelter, answered 2,731 crisis calls, welcomed 1,581 crisis drop-ins and provided 1,856 counseling appointments.

Lately, Catalyst has felt the momentum from the national #MeToo movement, as victims of intimate partner violence often

HEALTHLINES have survived sexual abuse as well.

Kent, who has been with Catalyst for eight years, said the agency has really focused on continuing “to send this message to survivors that they are worthy, they are valued, we’re here for them and we believe them.”

It feels like society has taken a step forward for now, Cozine added, because it’s always good when survivors feel comfortable enough to come forward and share their stories.

Still, the pair agree, many obstacles exist, and they are driven to create social change. Victims still feel a lot of guilt and shame about the abuse they have lived through, Kent said, or experience a negative reaction, such as disbelief, when they first try to tell someone what happened to them.

Others have a hard time recognizing that they are victims, when abusive relationships or behavior was a normal aspect of their childhood. Physical barriers to leaving or reporting abusive relationships include housing, finances and transportation.

A lot of people don’t talk about healthy relationships, Cozine said, and domestic violence remains a really uncomfortable topic, especially when it comes to telling family members or friends.

Creating an ongoing dialogue in communities through educational programs, events and outreach—such as Domestic Violence Awareness Month—is an important part of bringing down those barriers, Cozine said, along with embracing survivors.

“The more we can talk about the real impact of violence on people’s lives and focus on promoting healthy relationships,” Kent added, “the more we’ll see a shift in the acceptability of violence in our community.” Ω

‘I like beer’ As depicted in movies such as Dazed and Confused and detailed in testimony during Brett Kavanaugh’s infamous Senate hearing, heavy drinking was common among teens in the 1970s and ’80s.

As cheesy as they may have been to the Gen X target audience, ads from MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) and D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) can be credited with a decline in teen drinking. Their programs worked—data from the National Institutes of Health show that while 17 percent of 12thgraders were binge drinkers in 2015, that is a massive decrease from the 41 percent of binge-drinking seniors in 1979.

Still, alcohol is one of the most widely available and commonly used drugs among teens. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, excessive drinking is responsible for more than 4,300 deaths among underage youth each year and people age 12-20 drink 11 percent of all alcohol consumed in the United States, with 90 percent of that booze in the form of binge drinking.

GREENWAYS Loren Poncia not only raises cattle, he’s among California’s carbon farmers—participants in a state effort to suck climatethreatening particles out of the air.

Lthepowerful gust of afternoon wind. Inside warm cab, he scans the sun-browned hills oren Poncia’s idling pickup shudders in a

through his binoculars, counting his grazing cows.

Poncia raises beef cattle. As he sees it, though, what he is really doing is raising soil.

“I’m growing grass to feed to my cattle, but it all comes down to having high-quality soil,” said Poncia, who owns Stemple Creek Ranch in western Marin County with his wife, Lisa.

He is among more than 80 farmers now engaged in a state-funded program aimed at increasing carbon concentrations in California’s soil. Part of the state’s overarching goal of curbing greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate climate change, the California Healthy Soils Initiative took effect a year ago, when the state’s cap-and-trade program made $7.5 million available in small grants to farmers like Poncia. This year, the Healthy Soils Program, one component of the initiative, is receiving about $15 million.

That money is used to encourage and implement carbon farming—the buzz term for any strategic agricultural practice that helps suck carbon atoms from the air and pump them into plant tissue and the ground faster than carbon cycles back out. Over time, the process creates rich, carbon-black soil. A growing community of scientists now believes carbon farming will be essential in helping curb global warming trajectories.

Participating farmers add heavy layers of compost to invigorate plant growth while avoiding tilling, which exposes raw soil to the air and allows carbon atoms to bond with oxygen and float off as carbon dioxide, a potent greenhouse gas. More than half of the Earth’s historic soil carbon has been released

into the atmosphere by unsustainable farming, according to researchers in the field, and the mission of California’s new policy is to put some of that carbon back in the ground.

Farmers receiving Healthy Soils funding are now working about 8,600 acres.

“But we need to do this [on] a mass scale—we need hundreds of thousands of acres engaged in this,” said Torri Estrada, executive director of the Carbon Cycle Institute, a Petaluma-based climate solutions think tank.

The top roughly 8 inches of U.S. cropland and grassland soils five years ago contained more than 18 billion tons of carbon, according to a paper in the Journal of Soil and Water Conservation. The authors, including Ohio State University soil scientist Rattan Lal, found that U.S. carbon farming eventually could lead to annual carbon sequestration of 83 million tons per year on agricultural soils. Given all available lands in the country, including forests, as much as 475 million tons of carbon could be put into the ground each year.

That’s significant, if not huge: California alone emitted 472 million tons of CO2 equivalent (CO2 isn’t the only greenhouse gas) in 2016, according to the state’s Air Resources Board.

In an interview, Lal acknowledged that although “U.S. soils can technically achieve this,” even modest carbon sequestration goals About the article:

cN&r contributor Alastair bland wrote this story for cALmatters.org, an independent public journalism venture covering california state politics and government.

may be a long shot for the United States, politically.

Estrada says it’s reasonable to expect well-managed pasture land to sequester half a ton of carbon per acre per year. By that formula, a farmer with 1,000 acres of land could potentially offset the carbon dioxide emissions of 500 active vehicles. Statistically significant changes in soil carbon levels, however, can take decades to appear.

The California Department of Food and

Agriculture, which manages the soils program, has handed out carbon farming grants to growers in more than 30 counties. Paul Kjos, agricultural commissioner of Shasta County, said he doubts regional participation rates will be politically influenced.

“Some farmers have very strong political views, but I don’t think they would ever avoid doing something that’s good for their land just because it might also politically benefit someone else,” Kjos said.

Thaddeus Barsotti, co-owner of Capay Organic farm in the Sacramento Valley, said he believes human activity causes planetary warming. But he isn’t sold on the state’s carbon farming program. He said his soil’s carbon levels are already increasing.

“If we want to maximize the amount of carbon in soil and produce food, there is no need to coin a fancy new term,” Barsotti said.

“That method exists—it is certified organic agriculture.

“If getting as much carbon into the ground becomes your entire focus, you can’t also grow vegetables. Ultimately, these methods of farming they’re promoting make it more expensive to grow food.”

Though it’s still early in Poncia’s carbonfarming run, this so far seems to be the case. He said the out-of-pocket cost of creating his enormous compost reserves, which he has amassed on a hilltop, was almost $60,000—double what his three-year state grant will cover. Still, he’s gambling that spreading the fertilizer over his land will eventually result in more forage, more beef and more profit.

As the Healthy Soils Program enters its second year, proponents say the state is under-funding it. Estrada contends incentives should be $80 million to $100 million.

This could change with time, said Jenny Lester Moffitt, the undersecretary of the California Department of Food and Agriculture: “As this program builds and gets more support, I imagine the Legislature will respond and offer more money to the program.” Ω

ECO EVENT Meep meep!

Though there have been a slew of roadrunner sightings in Upper Park, perhaps your best chance to spot one is with the experts at Altacal Audubon Society when they go birding on the Yahi Trail. They’re heading out Saturday (Oct. 13). Birders of all levels and nature lovers in general are invited, especially those wanting to learn about the vast avian wildlife in Bidwell Park. The group meets at Parking Lot E at 8 a.m.; you should wear good hiking shoes, and bring water and a snack. Binoculars are recommended, but there will be a few pairs available to borrow. Visit facebook.com/Altacal Audubon for more information.

EVERYBODY’S BUSINESS PHOtO by jasOn cassidy

Hitting the new towne Lounge

beautifying the landscape Third-generation Chicoan Jason Johnson is the proud new owner of Chico Landscape Management, a commercial landscaping company that was established by Ernie Cox in 1987. Born and raised in Chico, Johnson went to Chico High School and graduated early with a math scholarship. He attended Chico State at the age of 15, earning a “useless” degree in philosophy, and now he says he “mows lawns.” Johnson, who moved to Paradise in 2008 just before his daughter Nova was born, started landscaping 15 years ago, but began working with Cox in 2015. After three years of working together, they struck a deal and Johnson bought the company. Call him at 715-9323.

Why buy Chico Landscape Management?

It’s a well-known company with a great reputation. I’m just trying to keep the level of excellence the same, which is hard because most landscapers aren’t like that, they just try to get it done as fast as they can and leave. We don’t do that; we do the best that we can.

Will you be making any changes?

One thing I do different is I’m very scientific. I take soil samples and I fertilize for every plant. I’m more customized. I know plants and I know soil; I bring that to the table.

What do you like most about the landscape business?

I like working with plants, I’m a plant guy. I grew up on a farm, I know a lot about it. I also love working outside. I have to work outside with my job.

What do you say to people who complain about the noise of the leaf blower?

We’re just trying to get our job done, it’s about beautification. If we didn’t do it, eventually it will build up so there’s nothing but dirt and weeds.

It also reduces the risk of fire by getting the dry

brush out. The noise is why I want to move to electric.

What’s the range of services you offer?

We do trimming and shaping, irrigation, rock walls, patios, outdoor lighting and design—I would actually love to do more design. We also do droughttolerant landscaping, we use a lot of native species for that.

Are you involved in the community?

I used to do a lot of trail work for the city of Chico, Bidwell Park, all kinds of stuff. I laid the Vita Course [Trail] out—it was a long time ago, I volunteered for that forever, but not for a while. With my life now, running a business and being a single dad, that’s everything, that’s all I got.

Plans for the future?

In the spring I’m going to go all electric and get my second truck. I think that’ll be good for the Chico community. People are pretty conscious of the environment and they don’t like noise and pollution.

When I first moved to Chico back in 2006, I wanted to shoot pool and have a couple of beers to try to meet people and I found myself at the Towne Lounge playing a game with the bartender, Meagen. I was passably good, so she offered me a spot on her women’s league team. We’re still teammates today, and I’m confident we’d still be playing at the Scrounge if it hadn’t closed.

I spent a lot of time at the Towne Lounge and was sad to see it go. Turns out the owner, Woody Sjostrom, gave downtown restaurateur Will Brady the old sign— until recently, it graced the patio at B Street Public House—and now it hangs inside his third bar/eatery, Bill’s Towne Lounge. (Brady tells me that while he doesn’t go by “Bill,” it is his namesake.)

“The Towne Lounge is an icon that needs to always be in Chico,” he said. I agree. And I once again found myself seated at the TL bar last Friday (Oct. 5) during its soft opening (it’s now a few blocks up Main Street, between First and Second).

First things first, Brady set out to create a dive bar and he certainly accomplished that. With low lighting and loud, lounge-y music—the soundtrack playing while I was there was killer—the vibe is definitively less pub than B Street or The Banshee. It’s also swankier than the old TL, so you probably won’t find as many blue collars in there. There’s a full bar, plus a kitchen—I tried the fried chicken sandwich and, aside from being a bit messy, it was awesome.

Brady says he’s trying to emulate L.A.’s “emergent chicken culture” at Bill’s, just as he aimed to elevate the hamburger at The Banshee. Expect the menu—and the hours—to expand over the coming weeks. For now, it’s open Thursday-Saturday.

GrOceries in Paradise Last month, plans for a new Safeway at the junction of Black Olive Drive and Skyway cleared a major hurdle, as the Planning Commission granted its conditional use and tree-felling permits. The project, dubbed Black Olive Village, requires the removal of over 180 trees and must adhere to 42 conditions, Craig Baker, community development director, told me.

The project is pretty massive, so I was surprised that a Google search yielded zero news coverage of it. The village consists of 67,473 square feet of retail, 54,471 of which will be a 24-hour Safeway. There will be a nine-pump gas station, plus a restaurant pad. The existing Safeway, on Clark Road, will close. The lack of a sewer system in Paradise set the project back—it will also include its own onsite wastewater treatment system. dressinG students This Sunday (Oct. 14), from 6-9 p.m., Chico Mall’s JCPenney will be closed to the public while it offers some major discounts for Chico State students (with valid ID). It’s part of a “Suit Up” campaign meant to help college students dress for success. If you don’t know how to tie a tie, they’ll even teach you!

Food & Drinks READERS’ PICKS

Celebrating local flavors Chico’s already eclectic food scene is really growing. Mobile kitchens have rolled in to join the mix of restaurants, cafes and eateries, and an explosion of tap rooms and breweries has provided even more options for the discerning palate. Taking home a Best Of honor is more challenging than ever! This year,

there are some noticeable upsets in Best Local Restaurant (Chico), Best Chef and Best Burger categories—plus, a newcomer on the scene came in and snagged the title for Best Craft Beer Selection.

Cheers to all the restaurant owners, chefs, servers and brewers who make it so fun—and delicious!—to eat out.

What really sets Chico apart from other North State cities are its nightlife and arts scenes, which often go hand-in-hand.

Whether you’re up for an art show, theater production or want to sip on a delicious cocktail while listening to live music, Chico is the place to go out and have some fun. There were a few upsets this year in the Best Place to Dance and Best Art Space categories.

Without further ado, here are the best of the best.

With a growing number of boutique gyms popping up around town, this year we’ve added a category for those as well as one for personal trainers—for those who want to take a proactive approach to improving their health.

When people first come to Chico, they notice our thriving arts, nightlife and restaurant scenes and recognize the grandeur of Bidwell Park. All of those things make Chico an attractive, fun place to live. But for anyone who has spent even a small amount of time here, it’s apparent that the community runs much deeper. A wide network of volunteers and nonprofits make the city a better place, as do all of the teachers, farmers and museums that enrich life in this fair town.

Reproductive Health Know before you go

In Chico, Women’s Health Specialists and Planned Parenthood offer comprehensive, patientfocused reproductive health care, including birth control, STD testing and prevention, and abortion services.

Beware of local “crisis pregnancy centers.”

What they are really offering is pregnancy testing and religious-based counseling.

Best fairytale ending Chico Princess Parties 116 W. Second St., 809-1666

Best save of 2018 The water towers at Third and Orient streets

The iconic structures are part of the backdrop of the neighborhood just east of downtown. They have been depicted in paintings and other artworks—including this newspaper’s recent Discover Butte County magazine—but based on concerns about seismic safety last year, the structures were going to be dismantled. Thankfully, however, the community rallied. Especially vocal was the Chico Heritage Association, whose members launched a preservation campaign. The towers’ owner, California Water Co., listened and recently announced the structures would stay put. Those of us at Second and Flume streets sure are happy the landmarks will remain in our backyard.

Sisters Kelley Sexton and Shannon Rowley have been on an adventure that’s one for the storybooks.

The pair, who each have a performing arts background, relocated to Chico from San Diego last fall and launched Chico Princess Parties, sharing a vision of enchanting children by bringing beloved fairytale characters and superheroes to life. This past year, the princesses of Chico Princess Parties have hosted story and tea time events and dance/gymnastic/etiquette classes, and made special appearances at parties and community events.

In fact, they were so successful that by May they had outgrown their first location in north Chico and opened up a shop downtown. And Sexton and Rowley haven’t stopped there. They’ve expanded the business by opening a children’s clothing boutique and party venue, Shells & Fairytales, at the Chico Mall last month. This may just be the first chapter for the sisters, but it’s certainly one happy ending.

Chico Princess Parties

Linda Storey was on to something when she decided to remove plastic drinking straws from her restaurants—Hula’s Chinese BBQ. Spurred to action by a disturbing viral video of a sea turtle that had ingested a straw, Storey aimed to broaden the movement locally, starting a website that challenges other local businesses. Several followed her lead and even the Associated Students at Chico State saw merit in going strawless, pulling the single-use plastic from dining halls and offering paper or stainless steel varieties instead.

The Sustainability Management Association also joined the movement, launching the Strawless Challenge to garner more support.

It’s a small gesture in favor of the environment, and we’re certainly on board.

117 Broadway, 899-8203

There’s a particular item on the menu at B Street Public House that is so craveworthy it’s made an appearance in the dreams of one online reviewer. When we say “get trashed,” we’re not referring to an item with a hangover-inducing ABV percentage; we’re talking about binging on the pub’s Trashy Fried Chicken Tacos. They’re far from traditional, with crispy chicken, plus cilantro, slaw, pickled onions and an impressive cheese skirt, covered in cilantro ranch. Regulars describe them thusly: “Best ever.” “Must have.” “Freakin’ delish.” And “ridiculous indulgence you don’t want to miss.” We couldn’t agree more.

Shepard Fairey’s “Peace” mural

Best reason to leave downtown Booze District

No area of town has exploded in quite the same way as Chico’s newly developing Booze/Beverage/ Fermentation District along South Park Avenue. With two breweries, two cideries, a winery, a distillery and a craft beer bar all within a short distance of each other, it’s become a destination for those seeking something different from the downtown scene.

Throw in a rotating schedule of food trucks and live music, plus games for kids and adults alike at most establishments, and you’ve got your evening planned. Plus, have we mentioned that the beers, ciders, honeywine and rum made by local folks are quite good?

That’s reason enough to say cheers!

Best armchair travel opportunity Sons and Daughters of Italy dinners

We can’t all drop everything and hop a plane to Europe. But we can take a little trip while staying right here in Chico, thanks to the folks over at the

Sons and Daughters of Italy—and the chefs and restaurants they’ve partnered with. Each month, one of four restaurants—Christian Michaels Ristorante, Grana, Panighetti’s and Sicilian Cafe— puts together a special, prix-fixe menu based on a different region of Italy and the Sons and Daughters write up some information about that region, its food and influences. What a great way to get away without actually going anywhere! Mangia!

Sons and Daughters of Italy at Sicilian Cafe

Best new claim to fame Shepard Fairey mural

This one gets added to the list: Bidwell Park, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., Aaron Rodgers, that big-ass yo-yo and the “Peace” mural. In August, a crew of hired artists installed the artwork designed by world-famous street artist/graphic designer/activist Shepard Fairey (of Barack Obama “Hope” fame) on the side of the Chico Peace & Justice Center downtown. In addition to the giant words “Peace” and “Harmony,” the striking propagandaposter-style mural features the artist’s signature image of the giant named Andre. Serious cred points.

Best fusion of art and words CN&R art boxes

When the CN&R first launched the art box program about a decade ago, it was a ton of fun to see all the local artists’ ideas for painting our newspaper boxes. Each week, we’d receive new ones and get to ogle them as they awaited delivery around town. Well, some of them were the victims of vandalism or just aged over the years and it was time for a fresh coat of paint.

So, we relaunched the campaign this

year and once again it’s such a delight to see fresh, locally created public art used to disseminate our free weekly.

It’s truly great to be alternative!

Best fire in the belly HeartBurn Records

A new local record label committed to punk-rock music and activism? Yes, please! Founded by local rocker Alex Kokkinakis (bassist for The Vesuvians) and her partner, recording engineer Josh Garcia (of The Electric Plant Recording Studio), the label was christened in February with the release of Out of the Cold—a six-song, threeband compilation that raised money for the Safe Space Winter Shelter. And they followed that up this summer with the much more ambitious Noise for Nor Cal, an 18-band comp that raised money for wildfire recovery in Northern California. Get your credit card out, visit heartburnrecords.band camp.com and do some good rockin’ and some good for the community.

Second Street roundabout

Best cultural infusion TOT funding for arts

The transient occupancy tax is the fee visitors pay when staying at local hotels, motels and bed and breakfasts. Back in May, Councilman Andrew Coolidge broke from the conservatives and voted to divert a small portion—1 percent—of that revenue to fund local arts projects.

According to estimates, that’s about $27,000 annually, but that number is likely to rise since the city has amended policy to collect those fees from Airbnb-type rentals. That’s a tiny portion of the general fund, but it’s a big deal considering arts funding was gutted during the Great Recession. That wasn’t a wise fiscal move. As we learned from an independent study in 2015, the arts spur the economy. Indeed, the previous year, 54 Chico nonprofit groups spent $8.7 million producing artistic and cultural events, and audiences spent $8.9 million attending them, for a total of $17.7 million. That money supported 451 fulltime jobs and generated $519,000 and $1.8 million for local and state government, respectively. We’re looking forward to new projects that buoy Chico’s culture and its coffers.

Best public art masquerading as a road improvement Second Street roundabout With the chain-link fencing removed, and traffic diversion signs gone, Chicoans finally can see the fully realized vision for the junction of East First, East Second and Flume streets. The middle of the roundabout long has been a mostly flat, dirt-covered disc—drawing attention only when a horn or skid signaled an impending accident. Now, it’s a centerpiece welcoming visitors to downtown, an eye-catching display that ironically seems to have increased drivers’ focus.

(Purely anecdotal evidence: We’ve heard fewer screeches.) The art piece comprises brick, metalwork, plantings and a tree. As a bonus, the city laid irrigation lines and relandscaped the surrounding sidewalk strips to match. If you haven’t seen it in person, swing by … safely.

Best local sports feat Best food epiphany Hot dogs are sammiches

Are you just hung up on the shape of the bread? Or is it the fact that the meat is in tube form? It’s still bread with meat inside! Why don’t you just get over your sandwich preconceptions already and give in to the Gnarly Deli mantra: “Hot dogs are sammiches.” The street-food vendor with the offbeat sense of humor has memes for days spreading the gospel on its Facebook page, but the real proof is in the well-conceived dogs, such as the Juan Popper (beef dog topped with cheese, barbecue sauce, sour cream and crispy fried jalepeños) and the Ooo Mommy Dog (beef dog with teriyaki, nori, green onions and wasabi mayo on a sesame bun).

Check out the schedule at facebook.com/ gnarlydeli and go broaden your sandwich horizons. The Earl of Sandwich would approve.

Reaching state finals in basketball is never easy. That Pleasant Valley achieved this feat with both its boys’ and girls’ teams this past season is remarkable. The boys won the championship, 70-65, over Notre Dame High of Riverside—a year after the Vikings football team won a state title. The boys finished with a 32-2 record. The girls lost to Redondo Union, 57-42, finishing 25-5. Both teams played at the Golden 1 Center, home arena of the Sacramento Kings. Runner-up: The Chico Heat (RIP) won the Great West League title for the second time in its three years of existence as a collegiate wood-bat summer team.

Best democracy resource League of Women Voters of Butte County candidate forums

The all-volunteer local league of the national organization is a go-to source for voters. Each election cycle, its members organize forums that showcase the folks running for office—from city councils to our District 1 congressional representation. The events are nonpartisan and professionally operated. They are not only open to the public, but also are broadcast by the local public television station, BCAC TV, to allow busy folks to tune into them at their convenience. Hooray to that!

The Best words “100 percent contained”

Forget “covfefe,” out here in drought-stricken California, the words that offer the most comfort are those that signal the end of whichever record-breaking wildfire has been blocking the sun with oppressive smoke for weeks. Getting smoked out is, of course, of relatively minor concern when measured against the many tragedies suffered by those in the path of the flames. And the real heroes during wildfire season, the ones who deserve all of the awards and gratitude we can muster, are the firefighters and other first responders who risk their lives to protect others. Those brave souls are the Best of the Best.

Best use for an old shipping container Build a bar!

The iconic copper-coated brew kettles at Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. came to Chico from Germany in the 1980s. Once the contents were unpacked, the shipping containers that housed them were tucked in a corner of the property and left to gather dust … that is, until someone had a genius idea: Turn them into a bar.

This past spring, two of the big, beige metal boxes were plopped down near the brewery’s hop fields, corn hole courts were set up and Sierra Nevada beers were put on ice as the new Hop Yard outdoor bar was born. It’s still a kick to grab a cold one at the bar in the busy pub and let off steam with a friendly crowd of beer-lovers, but having the option to head outside and stretch out in the fresh air with your crew and your dog seems so natural for Chico that the only question is, “Why didn’t they do this sooner?!”

Earlier this year, Chris and Andi Martin opened up a second branch of their store, Hempful Farms, right here in Chico. Based in Phoenix, the company not only sells CBD products, it also makes and sells them around the country. So, if you’re looking for a tincture, salve or edible—you’ve got to try their honey sticks!—to soothe your aches and pains, this is the place to go.

They also have a variety of hemp clothing and other items as well as a line of CBD products specifically for pets, under the brand name Paw Puddy. One thing we find particularly cool about the store is that it’s also an information center of sorts where CBD and hemp newbies can study up on the science behind these natural remedies. Ω

Hersey’s folk art-informed works more resemble the illustrated pages of a children’s book than the realistic sketches found in botany and birding field guides, and he describes the juxtaposition between his two callings as that between “meticulous observation and loose expression.” Hersey’s murals can be found 58

around Chico—inside Naked Lounge and Tender Loving Coffee—and a collection of his work is currently on display at the 1078 Gallery. The exhibit, which opened on Oct. 4, is titled Just Lying on the Grass, based on a poem by Mary Oliver titled “Just Lying on the Grass at Blackwater.” During a recent conversation at the gallery, Hersey explained that the poem—which describes nature in colorful, emphatic terms like “the hurrying, athletic river” and joyously embraces “the possible glamour of death”—is analogous to his own work.

“I love that poem because the content is very profound and deep … she’s talking about death and how amazing it would be to die and become part of the landscape again, to go back to everything,” he said. “It’s also about how just sitting and observing nature and being quiet can be the same as singing a song of gratitude.

“The title is so unassuming, and I feel it fit the show because it perfectly matches the character of my art,” he continued.

“It has a funny, casual, celebratory feeling to it but it’s also profound and [originates] from the same place I’m coming from, which is a love for the relationship between humans and nature.”

Hersey said he has limited formal art training, but that he comes from an artistic family—his father is an illustrator, his mother makes collages and jewelry, and all of his siblings are similarly artistically

inclined. He considered art school, but “felt like I wasn’t ready to stop learning about other things yet.” Instead, he studied ecology at the Evergreen State College in Olympia, Wash. After graduation, Hersey landed an internship with Point Blue Conservation Science, doing bird surveys at Point Reyes National Seashore. He continues to do field work seasonally—still mainly focused on birds—and has spent the last several summers working in the Sierra Nevadas.

Hersey said his unique perspective on art and nature was largely developed through participating in an extracurricular activity while enrolled at Evergreen— an independent enrichment program called the Kamana Naturalist Training Program offered through the Wilderness Awareness School in Duvall, Wash.

In addition to traditional tracking and survival skills, the program focuses on mindfulness and experiencing nature with all of one’s senses. For example, he practiced doing “fox walks” (a form of “stalking, walking meditation”) and maintained a “sit spot” (a quiet place where he could observe changes to a single plot of wilderness over time) for his entire tenure in Washington.

“It helped me develop a sensory awareness of the world around me,” he said. “It helps to use all of my senses while doing field work, and also to focus on the impressions I get from nature and express through my art.” Ω

Farmer/musician Gregory Alan Isakov.

PhOtO by rebecca caridad

GYoumusician … part of the time. might be familiar with the

regory Alan Isakov is a full-time

Colorado folkateer’s honeyed vocals and earnest acoustic by ballads, but his Robin Bacior music career is actually his second gig. His real Preview: full-time job is Gregory alan isakov performs Friday, Oct. as a farmer, and 12, 8 p.m. the Wild touring to support reeds open. his music haptickets: $25 pens during the (ticketweb.com) off season. Over Senator Theatre time, though, 517 Main St. he’s been able to jmaxproductions.net build enough of a following to sell more than 100,000 copies of his 2013 album, The Weatherman (on his own independent label, Suitcase Town Music).

“Sometimes people will say, ‘You’re a musician, right?’ And I always feel like a fraud,” Isakov said during a recent interview.

“It’s crazy to me that I get to even play music as a job at all. I was always the ag kid in the ag program at school, always working. You [say], ‘I’m a full-time musician, I’m gonna do this all the way’—I tried that on for a second and was like, ‘Nope, I don’t know if that’s for me.’ I feel like part of my work

with music is listening and noticing what’s going on in my life, and when you’re on tour all the time, that’s a pretty limited window of experience.”

The musician/farmer balance didn’t come overnight. In fact, the lack of it is what fueled his just-released new album, Evening Machines. After extensive touring surrounding The Weatherman, Isakov returned home and began suffering from severe anxiety.

“I’d never experienced that before in my life. It really opened me up,” Isakov said. “I have a lot more compassion than I used to about that.”

At home, Isakov’s barn is divided into living space, a washing station for produce, and a recording studio. He began diving into the studio side and sketching out new demos in the evenings, writing not about the anxiety, but rather through it. Almost 40 songs came out.

“When you’re in a place that’s really hard—which everybody goes through—music has been that place to find that sense of space,” Isakov said. “I don’t know if I’d call it a therapy, but it felt important that I play to feel that space.”

Isakov eventually whittled those songs down into an album, then went to Portland to mix with

Tucker Martine (Laura Veirs, First Aid Kit). What developed with Evening Machines was a record that veered some from the soft ballads of his earlier work. Take the single “Caves,” which feels twice the sonic size of his past work, with heavy percussive steps carrying gritty metallic tones and Isakov’s voice flanked by a choir. In some ways it feels new, but for Isakov and his band, it’s more the norm.

“I love making quiet records,” Isakov said. “I think mainly because I have this one record on usually at my house, and it’s always Songs of Leonard Cohen.

Sometimes I’ll flip the side—every couple months. I don’t even know if I’m listening to it, I’m just hearing it. Our shows have always been heavier, a little bit more rock ’n’ roll, but I’ve always made records that are really different from what we played live, and this record, I wanted to incorporate the stuff we’ve been doing live, but also maintain a sense of spaciousness.”

As Isakov moves into touring for a new record, his balance is more in place—with necessary overlap between his two worlds.

“I’m always on the bus reading horticultural stuff at night, I’m doing all my farm ordering on tour,” Isakov said. “I guess I’m just a hermit-y motherfucker.” Ω

Iic.poetically incandescent Blaze to simply call it a biopThis new film does indeed depict the short, casut doesn’t entirely do justice to director Ethan Hawke’s

ally meteoric life and career of one Blaze Foley, the singer, songwriter and back-porch visionary memorialized in songs by by Lucinda Williams and Townes Van Juan-Carlos Zandt and in a book by his ex-wife, Selznick Sybil Rosen.

But Hawke, who directed and co-wrote the screenplay with Rosen, makes the life story and its details into the core and central Blaze reference point of what at times Ends tonight, feels like an amiably laid-back Oct. 11. Starring experimental film, an unhurried benjamin Dickey, Alia meditation on the moods, visions Shawkat and charlie Sexton. Directed by and ecstasies of Foley and those ethan Hawke. Pageant closest to him (especially Rosen theatre rated r. and Van Zandt).

The life story gets told, from beginning to end, but not at all in strict chronological order. It’s a drifting, sideways sort of narrative, moving associatively through a nicely blended assortment of memory fragments and remembered anecdotes. One of Foley’s off-handed visionary preoccupations in the film has to do with a kind of present-tense timelessness, and in Hawke’s film, time sometimes seems to stand still, or almost so, and other times rolls over, or circles around and back.

4

Two events in particular recur, more or less as narrative “anchors.” One is a marathon bar room performance by Foley that doubles as a live recording session. The other is an extensive postmortem radio interview in which a DJ (Hawke, more heard than seen) talks with Van Zandt (distinctively well-played

by Charlie Sexton) and a drummer called Zee (Josh Hamilton) about their time with Foley.

The interview fragments have the additional effect of making Blaze into a double portrait, with Van Zandt (thanks in part to Sexton’s performance) assuming major character status almost as an afterthought. And, given Alia Shawkat’s quietly intense performance as Rosen, Foley’s beloved foil and muse, the picture might even be called a triple portrait.

Benjamin Dickey brings a seemingly effortless conviction to every aspect (including the musical) of his performance as Foley. Three nouveaux riches Texas stooges (played by Steve Zahn, Richard Linklater and Sam Rockwell) bring a jolt of antic satire to a story much immersed in all things Texan. Kris Kristofferson makes a haunting impression, both pathetic and diabolical, in a nearly wordless performance as Foley’s institutionalized father.

Bluesy country music and heavy boozing are integral to nearly every aspect of Blaze. “Drunken Angel,” the Lucinda Williams song about Foley, doesn’t turn up until the tag end of the final credits, which may be a way for the film to indicate agreement with the spirit and sentiment of Williams’ song, but only after having found its own cinematic path to similar conclusions. Ω

BlacKkKlansman

The latest “Spike Lee joint” is a periodpiece action movie of sorts, but of course it’s also much more than that: a stark appraisal of race and American social history; an undercover police story set in the 1970s with historical references ranging from the recrudescence of the KKK circa World War I to the white supremacists of Charlottesville, Va., in our own time; a nifty roundelay about self and American identity; a half-comic epic that entertains without ever losing sight of its most serious and urgent concerns. The central story premise has to do with the actual case of a black police officer named Ron Stallworth who successfully infiltrated a KKK chapter in Colorado in the late-1970s.

Stallworth (versatile John David Washington) talked his way into the group via telephone calls, then shadowed a fellow undercover cop named Flip Zimmerman (Adam Driver) who pretended to be the “white Aryan” that Stallworth concocted. The racial tensions are at times ferocious and there is an extraordinarily intimate and riveting quality of suspense in the moments in which the guile and daring of Stallworth and Zimmerman put them in danger of all-out misadventure.

Hell Fest

Natalie (Amy Forsyth) joins some friends for an evening of terror as they

visit an amusement park full of haunted houses, death mazes and masked cast members running around with a mandate to scare the shit out of them. Walking among the paid crew in a mask and a hoodie similar to many other characters in the park is an anonymous man who isn’t going for make-believe. He likes to really kill people with ice picks, mallets, guillotines, syringes and standard-issue knives. Much of the action takes place in the dark, with flashing strobe lights, shades of red and stock horror sound effects—so, there’s a pretty good reason why none of this is scary. Plus, director Gregory Plotkin and crew filmed it in a way that renders the locales flat, cheap-looking and stagey, just like your average amusement park haunted house. Maybe in real life this stuff would be a little scary, but sitting in a movie theater watching folks enter these themed rooms is not. This is conveyer-belt horror at its worst, with a lame cliffhanger ending that suggests there will be a lame sequel.

preferences can change over time as he floats through by the haze of explorAlastair ing beers, one by Bland one, until, one day, he lands on an old favorite and discovers he’s arrived at a new sensory paradigm.

That’s what happened to me two weeks ago when I bought a six-pack of Anderson Valley Brewing Co.’s Hop Ottin’ IPA—a beer I remember drinking routinely in the early 2000s but which I’ve since gone perhaps a decade without trying. It did not taste at all like I remembered—or, at least, thought I remembered. It was malty and toffee-like in flavor, with just a faint hint of IPA bitterness.

What happened?

My palate, it was clear, had drifted. This beer was first made in 1995, and at the time it was one of the big trendsetting IPAs. However, as time went by, and new breweries upped the ante on hop-loading and bitterness—and using new hop varieties—my tastes seemed to change.

To gauge how much things have changed over time, I went on an IPA spree the next day, buying a variety of old-school IPAs that many of us know, and which I hadn’t tasted in some time. Just as I suspected would be the case, each of them tasted subdued and less fruity than I prefer my IPAs today. Lagunitas’ flagship IPA was

probably the most bitter of the bunch, followed by Marin Brewing Co.’s India Pale Ale—which I also found to be the fruitiest, though its grain character remained prominent, with some caramel and toast flavors. Ninkasi Brewing Co.’s Total Domination IPA had the elements we expect in the style—tropical fruit, pine, citrus and bitterness—but also a sweet and bready malt base that I believe many breweries today would try and bury with hop flavors.

I liked the beers—but not as much I once did. Actually, I’m not sure it’s accurate to say my palate has drifted. Rather, brewing styles have changed, and my taste buds have followed along.

In the case of IPAs, hops are the most obvious ingredient to toy with, and the clear thing to do for many breweries as the beer market became more competitive in the past six or seven years was to add more, and so went the trajectory.

Beers became increasingly bitter while the added hops—often new varieties developed in recent years by Pacific Northwest breeding programs—showcased new flavors, often with over-the-top, dazzling tropical fruit notes.

Alcohol and sugar levels were

elevated as well, to accompany and give balance to the hops. Many breweries began adding fruit to their IPAs—generally aromatic ones like citrus, pineapple, guava and various other tropical fruits that complement fruit-forward hop varieties.

Breweries—notably Stone Brewing Co. out of Escondido— launched campaigns to encourage customers to drink their IPAs as soon as they could to make sure they were getting the full experience of the hops, which fade quickly in a stored beer. There were also the session IPAs, in which brewers pulled way back on the malt and alcohol while keeping the hop profile loud and accentuated. And most recently we’ve experienced the hazy trend, with cloudy unfiltered IPAs that explode with fruit flavors and aromas.

All the while, those early craft IPAs remained as they were— humble landmarks that watched the IPA craze sail away but which, thankfully, remained as they were.

Today, these classic, well-balanced beers—such as Sierra Nevada’s still popular Torpedo extra IPA— allow us the chance to retrace the evolution of craft beer and rediscover an old favorite along the way. Ω

Last weekend, Oakland emo-ish pop-punkers (with the perfect name) Pity Party were joined by locals sunny acres and Helicopter Kids for a lively Sunday night gig, which was followed by what I’ve heard was a roof-raising tour kick-off party for PERVERT the following night. Ike’s manager and booker Ben schlotthauer is an alum of Chico State’s soTa Productions program and he says he has a handful of shows in the works for the fall/winter (bands can message him at facebook.com/IkesChico about playing). Next up: an amazing threeband bill featuring super-rad punky indie rock from San Jose’s awakebutstillinbed plus locals Thin air (solo experimental chillness) and Helicopter Kids (punk trio), Thursday, Oct. 18.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY For the week oF october 11, 2018 ARIES (March 21-April 19): In his book

The Snow Leopard, Peter Matthiessen describes his quest to glimpse the elusive and rarely seen creature in the Himalayas.

“Its uncompromising yellow eyes, wired into the depths of its unfathomable spirit,” he writes, give it a “terrible beauty” that is “the very stuff of human longing.” He loves the snow leopard so much, he says, that it is the animal he “would most like to be eaten by.” I bring this up, Aries, because now would be a good time, astrologically speaking, for you to identify what animal you would most like to be eaten by. In other words, what creature would you most like to learn from and be inspired by? What beautiful beast has the most to give you?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Richard

Nelson is an anthropologist who has lived for years with the indigenous Koyukon people of Alaska. He lauds their “careful watching of the same events in the same place” over long periods of time, noting how this enables them to cultivate a rich relationship with their surroundings that is incomprehensible to us civilized Westerners. He concludes, “There may be more to learn by climbing the same mountain a hundred times than by climbing a hundred different mountains.” I think that’s excellent counsel for you to employ in the coming weeks.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “It is sad

that unless you are born a god, your life, from its very beginning, is a mystery to you,” writes Gemini author Jamaica Kincaid. I disagree with her because she implies that if you’re human, your life is a complete and utter mystery; whereas my observation has been that for most of us, our lives are no more than 80 percent mystery. Some lucky ones have even deciphered as much as 65 percent, leaving only 35 percent mystery. What’s your percentage? I expect that between now and November 1, you can increase your understanding by at least 10 percent.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You Can-

cerians may not possess the mental dexterity of Virgos or the acute cleverness of Geminis, but you have the most soulful intelligence in the zodiac. Your empathetic intuition is among your greatest treasures. Your capacity to feel deeply gives you the ability to intensely understand the inner workings of life. Sometimes you take this subtle acumen for granted. It may be hard for you to believe that others are stuck at a high-school level of emotional skill when you have the equivalent of a PhD. Everything I just said is a prelude to my advice. In the coming weeks, I doubt you can solve your big riddle through rational analysis. Your best strategy is to deeply experience all the interesting feelings that are rising up in you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Do you ever

experience stress from having to be so interesting and attractive all the time?

It may on occasion feel like an onerous responsibility to be the only artful egomaniac amidst swarms of amateur egomaniacs. I have a suggestion that might help. Twice a year, celebrate a holiday I call Dare to Be Boring Week. During these periods of release and relief, you won’t live up to people’s expectations that you keep them amused and excited. You’ll be free to be solely focused on amusing and exciting yourself, even if that means they’ll think you’re dull. Now is an excellent time to observe Dare to Be Boring Week.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A Chinese

proverb says, “Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are.” I’m happy to let you know that you are currently more receptive to this truth than maybe you have ever been.

Furthermore, you have more power than usual to change your life in ways that incorporate this truth. To get started, meditate on the hypothesis that you can get more good work done if you’re calm and composed than if you’re agitated and trying too hard.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): My astrologi-

cal analysis suggests that life is conspiring

by rob brezsny to render you extra excited and unusually animated and highly motivated. I bet that if you cooperate with the natural rhythms, you will feel stirred, playful and delighted.

So how can you best use this gift? How might you take maximum advantage of the lucky breaks and bursts of grace that will be arriving? Here’s my opinion: Be more focused on discovering possibilities than making final decisions. Feed your sense of wonder and awe rather than your drive to figure everything out. Give more power to what you can imagine than to what you already know. Being practical is fine as long as you’re idealistically practical.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): How far

is it from the Land of the Lost to the Land of the Lost and Found? What’s the best route to take? Who and what are likely to provide the best help? If you approach those questions with a crisply optimistic attitude, you can gather a wealth of useful information in a relatively short time. The more research you do about the journey, the faster it will go and the more painless it will be. Here’s another fertile question to meditate on: Is there a smart and kind way to give up your attachment to a supposedly important thing that is actually quite burdensome?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

21): In her only novel, Save Me the Waltz, Zelda Fitzgerald described her main character like this: “She quietly expected great things to happen to her, and no doubt that’s one of the reasons why they did.” That’s a bit too much like fairy-tale wisdom for me to endorse it unconditionally. But I do believe it may sometimes be a valid hypothesis—especially for you Sagittarians in the coming months.

Your faith in yourself and your desire to have interesting fun will be even more important than usual in determining what adventures you will have. I suggest you start now to lay the groundwork for this exhilarating challenge.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Armenian philosopher George Gurdjieff taught that most people are virtually sleepwalking even during the day. He said we’re permanently stuck on automatic pilot, prone to reacting in mechanical ways to every event that comes our way.

Psychology pioneer Sigmund Freud had an equally dim view of us humans. He believed that it’s our normal state to be neurotic; that most of us are chronically out of sync with our surroundings. Now here’s the good news, Capricorn. You’re at least temporarily in a favorable position to refute both men’s theories. In fact, I’ll boldly predict that in the next three weeks you’ll be as authentic and awake and at peace as you’ve been in years.

year, people discard 3.3 million pounds of chewing gum on the streets of Amsterdam.

A spokesperson said the intention was to “create a product people actually want from something no one cares about.” I’d love it if you were inspired by this visionary act of recycling, Pisces. According to my reading of the cosmic omens, you now have exceptional powers to transform something you don’t want into something you do want.

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

the late 19th-century, American botanist George Washington Carver began to champion the nutritional value of peanuts. His influence led to the plant being grown and used more extensively. Although he accomplished many other innovations, including techniques for enhancing depleted soils, he became famous as the Peanut Man. Later in life, he told the story that while young he had prayed to God to show him the mystery of the universe, but God turned him down, saying, “That’s for me alone.” So George asked God to show him the mystery of the peanut, and God agreed, saying, “That’s more nearly your size.” The coming weeks will be a great time for you to seek a comparable revelation, Aquarius.

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

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

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

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