Supervisors Voters to decide McKinley’s fate stay out of trophy hunt restrictions Kevin L. Hoover Mad RiveR Union

ARCATA – Arcata voters are going to decide the fate of the statue of William McKinley on the Plaza, not the Arcata City Council, now that the Humboldt County Office of Elections has completed verification of signatures on pro-statue petitions. The City of Arcata was notified June 14 that the petition drive had obtained enough valid signatures to qualify for the Nov. 6 ballot. The “Petition for the Initiative to Prohibit

HUMBOLDT – Humboldt County’s Fish and Game Commission recommends that the Board of Supervisors oppose a state bill that would ban possession of trophy parts from “iconic” African animals – but supervisors have ignored the advice. The bill’s lack of effect on local residents motivated supervisors to do nothing except discuss the bill at their June 12 meeting. Senate Bill 1487 – the Iconic African Species Protection Act – would ban the possession and importation of body parts of the iconic animals, including African elephants, lions, rhinos, zebras and hippos. The bill sets fines of $5,000 to $40,000 as punishment for violations. Phil Grunert, the commission’s chair, said he’s hunted in Africa several times and said each nation on the continent has its own hunting regulations. And he added that the animal parts that aren’t used as trophies are put to good use. “About 30 percent of the carcass of an animal that you harvest goes to a local tribe,” he said, adding that in Africa, “The poverty is unbelievable – it is everywhere and roughly 30 percent of the animals that are harvested by the hunters go to these people that are within those districts.” Fortuna resident Jon Sapper, who assisted Grunert with drafting the proposed letter against the bill, said he’s also visited Africa and described hunting trips as revenue providers for anti-poaching and conservation efforts. Supervisor Mike Wilson said he can understand that argument but “it seems a bit colonial in its framework.” Wilson noted that the commission has requested that its budget be increased from $3,000 to $6,000 and questioned whether the issue is relevant to its purpose. “If they brought the parts back, then it would be within the County of Humboldt,” said Board Chair Ryan Sundberg. Wilson laughed briefly. “That would be your interpretation,” he said. Supervisor Estelle Fennell said she can’t support the letter, adding that “it’s not about hunting, it’s about trophies” and isn’t “such big, burning issue in Humboldt County that I want to send a letter to the Senate.” Supervisor Rex Bohn, who sponsored the agenda item, said the bill is over-reaching and is being advanced for its sponsor’s political gain. “I just don’t think it’s very well-written,” he said. “I kind of figure that they’re playing on the feelings of ‘Oh my God, we’re going to kill all this stuff’ and Senator (Henry) Stern is gonna be able to use it on his next campaign.” Sundberg said that his “default position” is to stay out of controversial issues that HUNTING

Beer dispute has Arcata Main Street, local brewers in a froth Kevin L. Hoover Mad RiveR Union

ARCATA – The OysterFest beer-broglio has either been resolved, or just gotten worse. But in any case, attendees at last weekend’s 28th Annual Arcata Bay Oyster Festival had choice of delicious, thirst-slaking beers from three breweries – one hyperlocal, one regional and one regional/multinational. First reported by John Ross Ferrara of the Lost Coast Outpost, Arcata Main Street had earned the enmity of local breweries by asking for their beer to be donated to this year’s Arcata Bay Oyster Festival (of which the Union was a co-sponsor). The local brewers alleged that Arcata Main Street (AMS), which mounts the OysterFest, was using an offer of free beer by Petaluma-based Lagunitas Brewing Co. to leverage them into doing the same. AMS denies this. According to AMS Executive Direc-

ARCATA – The City of Arcata has adopted new standards regarding adult-use cannabis retail sales and services, which will take effect on Friday, July 6. At the Arcata City Council meeting held on June 6, 2018, the City Council voted unanimously to adopt City Ordinance No. 1501, which amended zoning regulations pertaining to cannabis retail sales and services. These zoning changes are a result of new state laws legalizing recreational adult-use cannabis and community input provided over the past year. The new ordinance allows retail cannabis sales and services in commercial and light industrial districts including downtown and central Arcata, Northtown, Valley West, the industrial areas of South G Street, the Creamery District, West End Road/Aldergrove and the neighborhood commercial areas. Businesses primarily conducting cannabis retail sales and services are now required to reVILLAGE

HUMBOLDT CRABS

A hard-earned victory for Crabs Erik Fraser Humboldt Crabs

ARCATA – Ask any baseball player, and they’ll tell you that the last thing you want on getaway day on the road is to go into extra innings. You want a quick game so you can get on the road and head home. But you don’t always get what you want. After breezing to an 8-1 win in the first of two games against the Colt 45s at Tiger Field in Redding, the Crabs seemed on their way to a sweep, leading 5-3 in the eighth. But with one on and no outs, the 45s’ Daniel Duerte mashed a game-tying homer, leading to a marathon game that wouldn’t end until after 1 a.m. The teams traded rallies in the 10th, with each scoring twice, but that was it for a while. A long while. It wasn’t until the top of the 20th — twentieth! — inning that anyone from either team would cross the plate again. Fittingly, it was McCarthy Tatum who started the rally with a leadoff triple — his sixth hit in nine at-bats on the evening. (Is it still an evening at 1 a.m.?) Chase Larsen followed with a single to drive in Tatum, and then scored himself three batters later on a double by Jackson Kritsch for the final run of a hard-earned 9-7 victory. Eighteen hours later, the Crabs found themselves back on this side of the 299 corridor, facing another longtime rival, the Seattle Studs. All three games against the Studs were close ones, but the visitors took

two out of three, handing the Crabs their first series loss of the young season. “It was a good series,” said manager Robin Guiver after Sunday’s game, a shutout loss in which Studs starter Alex Spahman went the distance and allowed just two hits. “We split the first two and then their guy just pitched his tail off today. … We pitched pretty well today, just didn’t hit.” The teams had split the first two games of the series. On Friday night, the Crabs sent Alex Pham to the hill, dueling against Seattle’s Mitchel Viydo. Both pitchers were solid, and the game was tied 1-1 after six innings. But the Studs’ Brennan Hancock knocked in two runs in the seventh, and the Crabs could only manage one run in their half of the inning and they dropped the game 3-2. On Saturday, the Crabs looked on their way to a relatively easy win, carrying a 6-2 lead into the ninth. Jared Milch and Kenton Carruthers had both pitched well, and the Crabs had gotten some timely hits in the sixth and seventh innings, scoring twice in each frame. But Tatum — yes, the same Tatum who’d had six hits on Thursday — took the mound in the ninth, and couldn’t put the Studs away. The visitors scored four times, sending the game into extra innings. Tatum had the last laugh though, because even though he had been removed from the mound in the ninth, he was still in the lineup. He singled to lead off the 11th,

CLOSE, BUT NO CIGAR Crab Jackson Kritsch thwarts an attempted steal of second base during Sunday’s game against the Seattle Studs. Below, Barry Smith threw out Matt Filar | Union the first pitch. and ultimately came around to score the winning run when the Studs threw the ball away on a sacrifice bunt attempt by Santiago Cantu. Sunday’s game saw Spahman outduel Crabs ambidextrous starter Alex Trautner, who despite warming up both arms, pitched exclusively with his right one during the game. Though it had been a long week, Guiver refused to blame that for his team’s two-hit effort on Father’s Day, preferring instead to heap praise on the Crabs’ opponent. “He did good,” Guiver said of Spahman. “I know we’re tired as a team right now, and it will be nice to have a day off tomorrow. It was kind of a wild road trip to Redding, a lot happened in those two days — the bus broke down, a 20-inning game — but no excuses, that’s baseball. They drove from Seattle to come down and play us, so you tip the cap to them, and we’ll get a day off and regroup and get ready to go to Healdsburg.”

ANDRES ESCARENO “I liked how they taught us to get into our stance and make the letter ‘V’.”

The Crabs now head out on their last road trip of the year, a trek that will take them to Healdsburg and San Luis Obispo. Their next home game is Tuesday, June 26 against the Humboldt B52s.

Michelle Butler was sitting in the top row of the Bonomini stand, holding her brand new baby, Emmalea Lou. Butler is the great-granddaughter of Crabs founder, Lou Bonomini (1916-2000) who was profiled for her volunteer work doing the laundry for all the Crabs uniforms last year (Mad River Union, July 12, 2017) She told me that Emmalea Lou is named after Lou Bonomini. She’s been a little busy with the baby so she’s doing camp registrations instead of laundry duty, although she said she still “makes sure they have Shout on the road trips.” Butler was proud of the new system, explaining that a parent had registered a child for the camp that afternoon and was able to pick up the family’s tickets at the box office the same evening. “Sometimes, when we mailed the tickets, they would come back with the wrong address or just take too long to get there,” Butler said. “Now with the online registration, it’s much faster.” The person who paid for the camp can pick up the tickets at the box office with an ID. Butler and her mother, Jan Briggs, agreed that they’d like to see more girls sign up for the camps. As of now there are only 3 to 5 signed up for each location. Who knows, maybe in 20 years we’ll be seeing Emmalea Lou playing for the Crabs.

Beer | Local brewers band together over politics of beer FROM A1

tor Jeanette Todd and Boardmember Josh Neff, Petaluma-based Lagunitas Brewing Co. is donating 10 kegs of IPA, Arcata-based Redwood Curtain Brewing Co. provided 40 kegs of IGA on a 1-for-1 basis – that is, one keg free and one purchased, while Crescent City-based SeaQuake Brewing provided 80 kegs on a 1-for-1 basis. AMS had solicited donations of beer from the local brewers, including Eel River Brewing Co., Lost Coast Brewery, Six Rivers Brewery, Mad River Brewing Co. and Lost Coast Brewery. It had a verbal agreement for 35 donated kegs and 7,000 cups from Lost Coast, but that blew up during a heated meeting between AMS and the brewers at Mad River Brewing Co. (MRBC). Todd and AMS Boardmember David Neyra had gone to MRBC thinking they were going to work out another deal with that brewery, only to find all the local brewers present – and rather pissed. They’d been sharing information on the aborning beer arrangements, and didn’t like being hammered into giving away their product with the Lagunitas cudgel. “As we started to talk, all these discrepancies started coming up,” said

“I’m pleased at the result,” said City Councilmember Michael Winkler, who spearheaded the petition drive. “It shows that a very large number of Arcata citizens feel that they should make the decision to keep or move the statue.” Winkler cast the sole dissenting vote on Feb. 22 when the council voted 4–1 to remove the statue. “It’s not unexpected

Meredith Maier of the pre-meeting discussions. “A distribution company confirmed that Lagunitas had put a very large offer on the table.” Maier said the local brewers stood in solidarity against Lagunitas, which as of last year is wholly owned by Heineken International. The Petaluma brewer is heavily involved in a range of local events, with its beer available at Reggae on the River and other area festivals. The locals feel it eclipses the indie beermakers. “All I want is a high tide that lifts all the boats around here,” Maier said. “You can’t use Heineken/Lagunitas to leverage a donation from local breweries. It’s dirty business. It’s bad business.” She said the AMS reps at the MRBC meeting were “devaluing our businesses, our staff and our craft.” Todd staunchly denies that there was any pre-existing deal per se with Lagunitas. She said Lagunitas’s 10keg contribution was just added by AMS’s board last Tuesday, to ensure an ample supply of beer for the festival. But according to Neff, who served on the AMS board’s beverage committee, there had been a standing offer from Lagunitas, and one that AMS didn’t make any secret of in the inter-

news, but it’s very good news for the people of Arcata,” said David LaRue, petition co-organizer. “They’ll now have the opportunity to express their views in a safe environment, one that Mayor Sofia failed to provide them.” LaRue was referring to the raucous Feb. 22 City Council meeting which was dominated by anti-statue advocates, with some citizens who wished to retain

ests of transparency. “It was always on the table,” he said. “But it wasn’t a negotiating tactic by any means. That got blown way out of proportion. It was never a leverage point.” Maier disputes this. “Everyone heard the same thing,” she said. “It was 100 percent or nothing.” Neff attributes the breakdown in negotiations to “poor communication by everyone.” “There’s been a lot of misunderstanding and a lot of defensive posturing,” he said. “We of course are sensitive to keeping things local. In a perfect Utopia we would keep everything local.” But, he added, AMS’s core mission is to promote Arcata’s downtown, and the OysterFest is the organization’s principal funding source. “Our directive from the city is to create 12 to 15 fun events per year for the community, and we have to fund that,” he said. In any event, no one lacked hydration resources at the OysterFest. In addition to beer, Mendocino County-based Frey Vineyards provided organic, vegan, sulfite-, gluten- and GMO-free wine for the event (on a 1-to-1 basis). Mimosas were also available along with non-alcoholic beverages.

the statue feeling intimidated and declining to speak their opinions. “I think that one of the most important jobs held in our community is that of the voter,” said Mayor Sofia Pereira. “I trust that they will make the best decision for our community.” Pereira was wary of predicting the outcome of the July 11 council meeting, where the only choices for the council appear to be

adoption of the pro-statue ballot measure as an ordinance or its placement on the November ballot. “We’ll see at the meeting where a majority of the council goes,” she said. “Since there’s been a lot of conversation about putting it on the ballot, I imagine that’s what will happen.” But, she said, she can’t foresee that meeting’s result.

Cannabis | Retail permits FROM A1

ceive a Use Permit from the City’s Planning Commission. The permit process will allow the community to provide input on a cannabis business’s potential impacts to the public’s health, safety and welfare before the permit can be issued. In addition, all businesses, whether cannabis is the primary activity or a small part of the business, will be required to have a City Commercial Cannabis Activity Permit and California state license. The ordinance limits the number of Use Permits to 15 businesses within the Arcata city limits. It also prohibits businesses on the Plaza that primarily focus on adult-use cannabis retail sales and services. In addition, no more than one cannabis retail and service-based business will be allowed to operate in each neighborhood commercial district including the Westwood, Sunny Brae, Greenview and Bayside districts. The ordinance allows non-cannabis retail stores to have a small inventory of cannabis accessory products. Cannabis accessory sales are not limited to the 15-permit cap, and will be allowed in most commercial zones including the Plaza and Cannabis Innovation Zones. All business selling cannabis products are required to apply for all state and city licenses, including those that provide retail sales of both medicinal and adult-use cannabis directly to consumers, and businesses providing a service to individuals that includes the use of cannabis products. Cannabis consumers are limited in where they are able to use cannabis products since state law prohibits cannabis from being consumed or used in public, and the City of Arcata also prohibits smoking tobacco and cannabis products in places of employment. The new standards allow for on- and off-site cannabis consumption or use as allowed per California state law, but the new ordinance did not revise the City’s “places of employment” smoking prohibition. The City of Arcata Community Development Department will begin accepting Use Permit and Commercial Cannabis Activity Permit applications for cannabis retail sales and service businesses on Friday, July 6, when the new standards take effect.

Massive slurrification project getting underway Mad RiveR Union

ARCATA – The 2018 Street Resurfacing (Slurry Seal) Project will begin on Tuesday, June 26. The City of Arcata has contracted with Pavement Coating Co. for this project that involves laying slurry seal and striping on the recently repaired pavement surfaces on the Giuntoli Lane roundabouts, Janes

Road, Spear Avenue and St. Louis Road. Due to the work required for this project, the east and west Giuntoli Lane roundabouts will be closed on Tuesday, June 26 and Wednesday, June 27 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for paving operations. Community members are encouraged to take alternative routes on those days.

Project construction will run Tuesday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on some days the contractor will extend work hours from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. On the days of scheduled work, community members are urged to follow all directions and traffic control devices within the project area. Construction for this

project is scheduled to be completed by Friday, July 13. If problems are encountered with this project, please contact Pavement Coating Co. at (916) 7083092 or the City of Arcata at (707) 825-2173. Updates on construction progress and project plans can be viewed at cityofarcata.org.

HUMboldt State UniveRSity

ARCATA – On Saturday, June 16 the Humboldt State University Police Department was working a multi-agency operation targeting alcohol violations. In conjunction with this operation, two arrests were made off campus at 9th and F streets in Arcata. The university is looking into circumstances surrounding these arrests, as well as videos that have been shared. University Police officers made a traffic stop at 8:21 p.m., after seeing the passenger of a vehicle hanging dangerously out of the sunroof. That person, a juvenile, was arrested on suspicion of providing false identification to a peace officer, public intoxication and battery on a peace officer. Following that arrest, another passenger in the vehicle, Samantha Alonso Luna, was arrested following an altercation with a UPD officer. Alonso Luna was booked on suspicion of resisting arrest, battery on a peace officer, public intoxication, and providing false identification to a police officer. HSU President Lisa Rossbacher and UPD Chief Donn Peterson are aware of the incident, and

have reviewed video of the arrest. Peterson says that there was reasonable cause to conduct the initial stop and investigate the alcohol violations that were subsequently observed. All video relating the incident is being reviewed and there will be a transparent and independent review of the arrest as well as a full internal review. “We take underage drinking very seriously,” Peterson says. “The stop and what occurred afterwards will be thoroughly reviewed by the District Attorney.” “I have seen the video of this arrest, and I have confidence that Chief Peterson and our University Police will conduct a thorough review,” says Rossbacher. “The external review will give our university community the opportunity to understand this incident in a full and fair light.” Alonso Luna is not an HSU student. The name of the other arrestee is being withheld because the person is a minor. UPD regularly assists enforcement relating to underage drinking, as well as to keep vendors and establishments in compliance with laws that restrict providing alcohol to minors.

The ADA bus station work is going to take until June 25 to finish Mad RiveR Union

ARCATA – The City of Arcata 2018 ADA Bus Stop Improvements Project is underway, and due to the work required for this project, the Arcata Transit Center will continue to be closed until Monday, June 25, requiring temporary bus stops at nearby locations. The city has contracted with RAO Construction, Inc., for this project, and the plan involves concrete work, asphalt paving, and drainage improvements at the Arcata Transit Center and adjacent portions of Ninth and 10th streets. Due to the Arcata Transit Center closure, temporary bus stops will continue to be set up on the corner of Ninth and F streets next to the Arcata Fire Station, and on the east side of F Street, in front of the Arcata Ball Park, to accommodate transit, Greyhound and Amtrak passengers. Arcata & Mad River Transit, Greyhound and Amtrak office services will remain open during the closure. Community members are encouraged to follow posted signs to gain pedestrian access for Greyhound or Amtrak ticket purchases and baggage handling. Community members with disabilities are instructed to contact the Transit Office at (707) 825-3775 to speak with the transit manager for special accommodations. In addition, only neighborhood residents will be allowed vehicular access in the construction zone. The Arcata Transit Center parking lot will continue to be closed, and there will be no parking available on F Street between Eighth and Ninth Streets in order to accommodate the temporary bus stops. On the days of scheduled work, community members are urged to follow all directions and traffic control devices within the project area. Project construction will run Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on some days the contractor may employ a longer work day, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Cities, counties and other local jurisdictions have come to rely on the Internet as an open medium with the assurance that a service provider will deliver a resident’s request for government v GUEST content just the same as they deliver any other content. Amy Nilsen Local agencies cannot allow private Internet service providers to be the gatekeeper between our residents and the government services on which they depend every day.

OPINION

“It is essential for citizens and government officials to support and defend Net Neutrality and the principles of the open Internet...” It is essential for citizens and government officials to support and defend Net Neutrality and the principles of the open Internet in order to make sure that private interests and advertising gatekeepers do not drown out diverse, local and public information that is essential for democracy. The marketplace of ideas must include both commercial and non-commercial speech. Responsible government officials must take all available steps to ensure the Internet remains open and to keep service providers from throttling, blocking or limiting government content on the Internet. To that end, to the extent permitted by law and within our control, decision-makers should: 1. Procure applicable Internet services from companies that do not block, throttle, or provide paid prioritization of content on sites that local jurisdictions run to provide critical services and information to their residents. 2. Ensure an open Internet connection with any free or subsidized service offered to residents. 3. Not block, discriminate, throttle or engage in paid prioritization when providing Internet service directly to residents, such as through free public Wi-Fi or municipal broadband. 4.To the extent permitted, require clear and accessible notices of filtering, blocking and prioritization policies with enforceable penalties for violations to protect consumers from deceptive practices. 5. Monitor and report the practices of Internet service providers so consumers and regulators can know when a company is violating open Internet principles or commitments. 6. Encourage consumer use of ISPs, including municipal and community-based options, that abide by open Internet policies. Access to high-speed Internet is already difficult in rural areas like Humboldt County, and these communities will be disproportionally negatively affected now that the Federal Communication Commission’s Net Neutrality repeal is in effect. For these reasons Humboldt County supports an open Internet and respectfully urges your support as well. Sincerely, Amy Nilsen Humboldt County Administrative Officer cc: Board of Supervisors Paragon Government Relations Rural County Representatives of California

separate immigrant children from their parents when they cross the border illegally. Sessions says this right was defined by Apostle Paul through “his clear and wise command in Romans 13, to obey the laws of the government because God has ordained the government for his purposes.” However, by the U.S. law as defined in Article II, Section 2 of the United States Constitution, the president has been given the right to pardon individuals who have been found guilty of federal crimes. In a sense then, the president has been given the power to play God as his pardon power supersedes what otherwise would be dictated by the criminal law of the land. This is nothing new as presidents of both parties have granted numerous pardons over the years. But in the case of Trump, I have some problems. Last August he didn’t hesitate to pardon former Sheriff Joe Arpaio before he served a day of punishment for being found guilty of racial profiling when searching for suspected illegal immigrants. He said Arpaio was worthy of a pardon based on his many years of service in law enforcement. Now it is told in both the Old and New Testaments that God is a compassionate God. So why can’t Trump, who has god-like powers when it comes to Federal law, show the same compassion to the comparatively innocent illegal immigrant families that he showed to the guilty Joe Arpaio? Instead of doing nothing besides continuing to falsely blame the Democrats for the law behind this situation, he could instead simply direct Attorney General Sessions to allow these immigrant families to be detained together. I think God would smile. Sherman Schapiro Blue Lake

proposed to be built by AmCal in north Arcata. I believe that, from the outset, the developer, in collusion with the HSU administration, has been underhanded in its dealings with the City of Arcata. The communications unearthed by the Mad River Union reveal clearly that the plan all along has been for AmCal to turn the finished “privately owned dorms” over to the University. Since that is now obviously the case, it should have been on the table two or three years ago — so that the City Council and the city manager could have better evaluated the project’s effects on our city and its budget. On its face, this project appears to be a way for the University to acquire new student dorms without paying the union wages it would otherwise be subject to. But that’s not my greatest concern. The city is being asked to rezone 11 acres from light industrial to residential. That’s probably appropriate, considering the parcel. That will also add to the city’s property tax income. However, once AmCal sells their completed project to HSU those 11 acres will be removed forever from Arcata’s tax base. There is an “if” clause in the proposal, which should be read as a “when” a public entity buys the parcel. That would require a mitigation of, if I remember correctly, 8 percent of the purchase price, or $300,000. That’s a decent lump sum, but a truly paltry amount over a 40 (50? 80?) year period. Given inflation and customary tax increases, a single family home in Arcata could end up paying almost that much over the next 40 year period. Yes, it would be wonderful if new HSU students could find a place to live easily when they arrive here — particularly a place where they wouldn’t have to pay first and last month plus security deposit. Yes, the developer has made some very desirable changes to their original plans. On the other hand, young families also need to be able to afford to live here. So do new faculty or young professionals and

in private (and whenever possible, individual) hands. We have only so much land between the green spaces we value to the east and west. That’s our tax base — we should not be allowing any of it to slip away. I can only assume that the HSU administration was aware that the City of Arcata might not look fondly on ceding a portion of its tax base to the state — and that probably accounts for the clandestine nature of their involvement in this project. Either way, it stinks. In light of all the new information, The Village project looks to be a land grab by the university, and a future financial disaster for the city. As a City Council Member, I think you should also be bothered by the years of under-the-table negotiations that you were not privy to. I urge you to say no to this project.

Buen Vivir means good living

aura Guarnieri, a transplant from Argentina to Redway, brings her special brand of good living to the Farmers’ Market in Arcata every week. She was new to the market last month and her booth is a glowing beacon of green, all shades of vibrant green. Guarnieri is an advocate of microgreens. “Microgreens are a way to have a good living, to eat healthy,” she explained. One sign in her booth reads, “Responsibly grown in Redway.” And the greens are. Guarnieri uses organic soil, no pesticides, only non-GMO seeds, and compostable pots. “In the very beginning we used plastic pots but I did a search and found these. People love

them,” she said. And folks can return the trays to her every week. Another sign reads “Richest Food on Earth.” Guarnieri explained that in South America Buen Vivir is also a movement, as well as the name of her business. “It’s about environment and community,” she said. Laura Guarnieri Her microgreens can be found at the Garwith the different stages of berville, Fortuna, and growing the microgreens. “They are so nutritious Eureka markets, in restaurants, and tasty,” she said.

SCENE Can war be funny?

RUZZANTE’S NIGHT Members of the cast of Ruzzante Comes Home From The War on opening night. KLH | Union Janine Volkmar MAd river Union

BLUE LAKE – A friend said before the play started, “I’m so glad it’s comedy.” I just looked at her. Ruzzante Comes Home From the War, the new production at Dell’Arte, is true Commedia dell’Arte in that it whipsaws from comedy to tragedy in a moment and then back again. It’s physical comedy with the characters flying across the stage, doing backflips that leave the audience gasping. And it’s also mental comedy, swerving from the 15th century to Vietnam to the McKinley statue controversy in just one character’s rhyming, hilarious, word-playing speech.

THEATRE REVIEW And despite the opening night’s problems with the wildly feedbacking sound system and one character losing his microphone altogether, it works. For the most part. Ruzzante is an ambitious production with high aims. A great many of the aims are met but some just did not work, not only for this reviewer, but for members of the audience polled after the play. For instance, the three characters who return home, and that’s Home with a capital letter in their longing and memories, are subject to persistent flashbacks of gunfire, incoming air attack, and explosions. The explosions were deafening and with the above-mentioned sound problems, actually painful, but they were also ambiguous. Could it just be the war starting again or were these really PTSD, audible only to the three? Maybe that was hard to believe because they were so very audible. THE DELL’ARTE COMPANY PRESENTS RUZZANTE COMES HOME FROM THE WAR Date & Time: June 14 – July 1 at 8 p.m. Thursday – Sunday (except Thursday, June 21) Location: Rooney Amphitheatre, Blue Lake Admission: $18 Regular, $15 Senior/Student; $12 Kids Sundays, June 17 & 24 – Pre-show talk and free admission to veterans and their families. The Dell’Arte Company presents a no-holds-barred Commedia dell’Arte performance that hits at the humor and the humanity of coming home from war. Another, deeper aim was the conceit that one of the characters was a ghost that only the other two could see. A quick line early in the play alludes to that, when Pantalona says she can’t see him. But it’s a throwaway. Much later in the play it’s explained but by that time it’s a bit late. Still, it was a tender and poignant moment when I realized that a character who had been delighting me with clever dialogue and physical antics was, in fact, dead. At least three people I asked about it after the play didn’t get it. In fact, they looked at me as if I were the crazy one. Can dead be funny? Michael Fields says in his Director’s Note, “Is war funny? No.” The first section of the play where Capitano, played by James Peck with humor and depth, drills and admonishes three soldiers, Ruzzante, Brighella, and Stupino, is funny. This section is classic Commedia with physical maneuvers that mimic the military in theater and dance. “War is what happens when language fails,” he says. RUZZANTE

LOS LOBOS Date: Thursday, Jan. 10 Location: Arkley Center for the Performing Arts, Eureka About: Over the past 40 years, East L.A.’s Los Lobos has redefined how a rock band—and rock music—can sound. Many musical groups are eclectic, but few are equally as unpredictable and successful as Los Lobos. The band has notched a number one single, won three Grammys and sold millions of records. Returning to Humboldt with both an acoustic and electric set format, this concert is sure to prove once again why Los Lobos still remains one of the greatest bands to see live in popular music.

THE TEMPTATIONS Date: Thursday, Jan. 17 Location: Arkley Center for the Performing Arts, Eureka About: An essential component of the original Motown sound, the Temps began their musical life in Detroit in the early ‘60s. An avalanche of now classic hit songs followed including My Girl, Get Ready, Ain’t Too Proud to Beg, and Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone. Beyond their fabulous trademark harmonies, the Temps became known for smooth-stepping choreography and flawless presentations.

hearts of these beautiful brothers as they wait to find their forever homes. They have not spent much time apart and seek solace in one another, so we would love to place them together if possible. We are also open to the alternative option of separately socializing them as long as their foster parents can lather them with love!

If you are interested in fostering Gideon and Gabriel, please swing by 88 Sunny Brae Center between 10 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. and fill out an application! They are also available online at cafanimals.org. Call us at (707) 826-7387 with any questions!

Pink Floyd tribute band in Arcata MAd river Union

ARCATA – Pigs on the Wing, a Pink Floyd tribute band, will perform Saturday, June 23 at the Arcata Theatre Lounge, 1036 G St. in Arcata. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. The band, based in Portland, Ore., will perform a show it calls “Finding the Dark Side of the Moon” – a two set retrospective live experience culminating in a full performance of Pink Floyd’s 1973 concept album The Dark Side of the Moon. Tracing its roots to a one-off performance in Portland in 2006, Pigs on the Wing has steadily developed a reputation for delivering a high quality, high energy take on Pink Floyd’s music steeped in the

North West’s own rich musical heritage. All of the members of the band are seasoned veterans of the original rock scene and balance a decidedly un-tribute like attitude towards the music with a deep understanding of the precision and importance of Pink Floyd in many fans’ lives. The result is a sound and experience both refreshing in delivery and yet true to the original – something the band believes sets it apart from other Pink Floyd tributes. This is a 21 and iover show. Tickets are $17 in advance, or $20 on the day of the show, and are available at brownpapertickets.com.

WESTHAVEN CENTER FOR THE ARTS presents “Flowers of my Mind,” hip-pop psychedelic rock ‘n roll band, performing on Friday, June 29 at 8 p.m. at the center, located at 500 South Westhaven Dr. The band will also play original songs by the neo-beat poet/ philosopher and songstress, March Adstrum. The band includes March on lead vocals/ guitar/keyboard, Rob Diggins, electric-violin/cornet/vocals, Joli Einem, bass/vocals, and Gabe LuBowe, percussion. The band tantalizes and captivates with rapturous psychedelic tales of inspired activism, a call-out for your positive engagement! These merry minstrels walk the cutting edge and are the original hip-pop artists and the originators of the Acid Bach Project. Tickets are. $5-20 sliding scale and refreshments will be available.

Ruzzante | Commedia that makes you laugh – and think – a lot FROM B1

ALL SEASONS ORCHESTRA Arcata’s community orchestra is celebrating its 30th anniversary with two upcoming concerts. SUbmitted pHoto

The very first line of the play follows the musical pre-show, brilliantly. “Has the war gone?” Capitano asks and we all hope with him that it is so. But we know better since we have just sung along with Country Joe and the Fish on “Fixing-to-Die-Rag,” listened to “Waltzing Matilda” with new ears, and wept when we heard those haunting lyrics of “I Ain’t Marching Anymore” by the genius poet Phil Ochs yet again. These are not new songs and many of the audience had obviously heard them at peace march after peace march, down through the

years. Everyone around me knew every word of the Country Joe song and sang it loudly. The three soldiers are informed that there is a ceasefire and, after some double-dealing by Capitano, are paid a pittance and sent on their way. It’s when they try to go to Ruzzante’s home that things get difficult. The world has changed, the statue is down, and how can Ruzzante meet his old love under a statue that is no longer there. The metaphor works and provides many opportunities for local humor, something that Dell’Arte productions always incorporate in clev-

er and unexpectedly funny ways. A trio of sassy laundresses/Columbinas gives the three veterans some new clothes and sets them up for a difficult time. That Lynnie Horrigan’s costumes for the laundresses make them look both fluffy and slutty is just an example of her always excellent work. The veterans are now dressed in traditional Commedia attire and blend in with the rest of the cast, at least visually. They are, however, still having a difficult time adjusting. Brighella’s (Alyssa Hughlett) lament on her efforts to find work is particularly clever. She also has the most amazing assortment of funny and rude names for her fellow vets. Whoever heard anyone called “dork fork” before? Ruzzante (the always brilliant Pratik Motwani) has a different line in language, tending to run on in rhyming lines of words that make any spoken word barroom poet look lame in comparison. In addition, his physical grasp of the Commedia moves makes it seem as if the original Ruzzante (playwright and actor Angelo Beolco (1502-1542) nicknamed Il Ruzzante) has come to life. Motwani can mime the birth of a child with a few moves of his pelvis and bring back the memory of Motown with his singing and dancing. The man is versatile. The third veteran Stupino (played by Lucius Robinson) is a taller foil to the other two, sometimes hysterically funny with his desire for a “peaceful place to poop”, sometimes with a dry humor, as when he compares Ruzzante’s love interest, Gnua, to an indig-

enous rhino. He delivers his lines with words such as “collywobbles” and “Coddiwomple” with style and brash delight. This brings us to Gnua (Alexandra Blouin). As she did in Ferndale, playing a German stewardess, this actor doesn’t just tear up the stage, she detonates it. Her version of the insipid Lesley Gore song from 1963, “You Don’t Own Me,” is enough to make Lesley come back from the dead and stand up for herself. Blouin belts the lyrics and throws her voluptuous self around the stage until poor Ruzzante is practically in a coma of unrequited love. The Columbinas help her in this scene but really, she doesn’t need them. It’s her stage and no one else’s. Gnua is so adorably selfish that it’s hard to dislike her for the way she treats her former lover. “You Don’t Own Me” and all the other songs that come from our musical past work much better in this play than the original songs written by members of the cast and the band. It’s not that the new songs aren’t great, they are, but they are a harder sell in this fastpaced production. It may take several hearings to really grok them. Songs that the audience knows resonate and fit in more deeply because the audience has heard them before, many times. “Partisan” by Leonard Cohen is an example. It works perfectly in the script and was sung so well by band member Tim Randles. All of the band members (Marla Joy, Randles, Mike Labolle, and Jeff Kelley) were excellent, as always, adding depth and excitement to the production. Donald Forrest and Mi-

MINSTRELS IN THE GALLERY Tim Randles, Mike LaBolle, Marla Joy and Jeff Kelley. KLH | Union chael Fields bring a true spirit of Commedia to the stage as Pantalone and Granfa. It doesn’t matter a bit that Forrest tells one of the world’s oldest stories in vaudeville; he sells it and the audience loves him. Fields still has his moves and for his brief appearance, owns the stage. Another friend told me that she goes to the first and last performance of the Dell’Arte big summer play. In the interim, the play has changed and grown. The sound problems of the first performance should be fixed by the time you read this review. Pacing issues may be ironed out as well. Go and see this production, sing along, but take your sensibilities about war with you and don’t expect it to be all comedy. It won’t be and that’s what is so terrific about Ruzzante. It’s one of the most heartfelt of the Dell’Arte canon. That means a lot to us. Thank you.

edwood Pals Rescue works hard to help dogs from the Humboldt County Animal Shelter find good homes. There are several avenues towards that end. We volunteer at the shelter and try to learn as much as we can about each dog so that we can assist potential adopters in discovering which dogs might be a good match for them. We also watch for dogs that need a little help to become more adoptable through the shelter, such as shy dogs who need a little confidence-building to learn to stay towards the front of their kennel where people can see them, or happy dogs that need training in better ways to display their

that we really like that are unlikely to succeed in the shelter environment for whatever reason. Those are the ones that we place in foster homes when we can. We are always amazed at the changes we see when sensitive dogs are in a quieter environment or boisterous dogs have more training and activities to engage them. Our foster families are true lifesavers in these situations. Fosters always have the first opportunity to adopt the dogs should they choose to do so, but often they are fostering because they are not able to make the commitment to adopt due to time constraints, school, seasonal employment or already having other pets. Our goal is always to

about that than you might expect. These two featured today are with fosters that need to get back to other obligations. We would like to find them permanent homes so that they don’t need to be moved yet again. Maxx has been with Redwood Pals for a while. His fosters love him but work as firefighters and need to be available on short notice as we get into fire season. Maxx is a young adult male mixed bred mutt, possibly lab, cattle dog and/or Pit mix . He is about 55 pounds with a beautiful dark brindle coat. Maxx is a great companion for jogging, hiking or lounging around the house or yard. He has been good with children and new people. Maxx gets along well with other dogs and has several regular friends, though he is not currently living with any other pets. He loves to follow his people around and share in their activities! Digging at the beach is a great treat but he does not dig in the garden (good boy!). His foster reports that he knows sit, shake and down and is working on stay. He loves to fetch and swim and will happily bring every stick he can find out of the water! Maxx is house trained and the fosters report that he will bark to alert but is not much of a barker otherwise. He would do best in a home without chickens or other birds as he finds them a lit-

tle too interesting. Maxx is neutered, current on vaccinations and can be microchipped at adoption. If you are looking for that perfect companion for all of your summer activities, Maxx is your guy! Junebug is a young female border collie. This dog was terrified in the shelter! She has sensitive hearing and the noise at the shelter was just too much for her. Outside of the shelter and in a home she is a completely different dog, as you can see in the before and after photos. This is a sweet, affectionate dog who loves giving kisses, cuddling and rolling in the grass. She is a little shy on meeting new people but warms up quickly. She has met a few other dogs and has been friendly and playful with them. This is a very quiet dog; she wouldn’t make much of a watchdog, but could do well in an environment where quiet is a prerequisite. She is house trained and does well with a crate, even choosing to relax in the crate at times when she does not need to be in it. She is new to leashes and obedience training but is proving to be a quick learner. Junebug is a perfect example of a dog that was a total fail at the shelter, but will make a fabulous family dog. She was reported to be reactive to cats at the shelter, but her foster reports that she has paid no attention to a neighbor cat that came in the yard. We would want to check compatibility for any potential adopter with cats. All of our dogs are altered, current on vaccinations and can be microchipped at adoption. If you would like to meet either of these or learn more about fostering, please contact us at redwoodpalsrescue@ gmail.com or call (707) 839-9692.
