The Fair Coup Editor: Ryan Burns’ “Ferndale Gothic” (Feb. 28) gives excellent coverage of the happenings at the Humboldt County Fair. There has been a virtual coup by the Humboldt County Fair Board, and, with the exception of the outstanding reporting by the Ferndale Enterprise, there has been little to alert Humboldt County of what is going on.

There was no news in the daily press of the protests by local citizens who crowded the Jan. 28 board meeting, of Kirk Breed, the executive director of the California Horse Racing Board, of representatives of the concessionaires who came long distances to voice opposition to the board’s actions.

In the meantime, members of the board have installed themselves to take over the fair. Not one of them has any professional experience in running a fair, and they have no professional replacement for Stuart Titus, the manager of 22 years with an unblemished record of keeping it afloat in hard economic times.

Anyone who is concerned that the $6 million the fair brings to Humboldt County is in jeopardy should be kept informed of what is going on.

Anyone who has exhibited an animal, a work of art, a quilt or pie at the fair should be vitally concerned with what is happening. Anyone who plans to take children to the fair this summer should be aware of the turmoil that is brewing.

This is not just a Ferndale fair. This is the Humboldt County Fair and everyone in Humboldt County should be made aware of it. I can’t help wondering why the Times-Standard has paid so little attention to this story. Kudos to both the Ferndale Enterprise and the North Coast Journal for excellent journalism which has been lacking in the daily newspaper.

Betty Briggs, Ferndale Editor: As a retired journalist who pushed the rock of truth up the slippery slope of public scrutiny for 40 years, I applaud Ryan Burns’ “Ferndale Gothic” as well as Carrie Peyton Dahlberg’s “Good Cops Aren’t Afraid of Cameras” in the Feb. 28 North Coast Journal.

How refreshing to read even-handed reportage done in a highly professional manner in Humboldt County. Imagine, both writers actually gathered the details themselves, instead of waiting for a press release. Wow! (Sarcasm fully intended, Times-Standard.)

How thoroughly familiar, after 23 years behind the Redwood Curtain, to watch

Europe in my early years.

The EPD hires many locals with, sometimes, an attitude not conducive to police work. All these rednecks who picked on the “queers” in high school now carry a badge. For Officer Rodrigo Sanchez to make jokes about other departments (“Humboldt’s Mayberry,” Aug. 2, 2012) is not so out of character. I’ve seen him be so unprofessional, and he doesn’t care.

I was waiting for the day they would pull this on the wrong person. I am glad that you’re brave enough to shed some light on this very old problem hiding behind the redwood curtain. We need them held accountable. Now, get ready to get pulled over for next year, as I was for writing a letter detailing the abuse and incompetence of the EPD. A clean sweep of all EPD and investigations into their actions are badly needed. We are a poor community and conditioned to shut our mouths. You do not cross an EPD. I’ve worn a uniform in the military. Not as a cop, yet the same idea. I am no liberal but I am a realist. The fact that O-f-f-i-c-e-r Goodale has called himself a redneck from Fortuna is telling.

As a cop, he should have been taught that you leave all that at home when you put on that uniform. I wonder if the cops who beat Rodney King were also Reagan-loving Republicans. Ahumm.

Cue Mayberry whistling. Nah, there’s nothing Mayberry here. Much more Southern good ol’ boy mentality, like “Mississippi Burning.” I want to trust the police here, but their actions make it difficult.

Stéphan St.Claire, Eureka Editor: Wow, what’s up with Eureka?

We have a mayor who is either ignorant and stupid, as his beliefs in wild mythological fantasy indicates, or he’s an anti-American traitor, as his nose-thumbing at the Constitution indicates (“The Bully Pulpit,” Media Maven, Feb 28). Either way, he should never hold any position of authority, anywhere.

Then we have right-wing hillbilly police who think (or wish) that we live in some sort of police state (“Good Cops Aren’t Afraid of Cameras,” Feb. 28). Checks are constitutionally defined for government, where they are needed, not citizens. Our police chief needs to inform his officers that taking photos of police activities is legal as long as it doesn’t interfere with them. These police expect us to submit to video surveillance almost everywhere, but the laws don’t apply to them? Since they seem to be hiding something, I think citizens ought to be taking video of every police action seen.

It looks like a couple of losing lawsuits in the making, which our city cannot afford. Maybe this plays into the apparent right-wing objective to bankrupt government at every level so they can “demonstrate” that government doesn’t work.

God and Government

No Lady Parts? Hmmm

Editor: In line with Burstiner’s excellent article, “The Bully Pulpit,” about Mayor Jager and the separation of church and state, Bill Moyers (Moyers and Company, KEET) interviewed author Susan Jacoby about her book The Great Agnostic. I encourage everyone to watch this on line. The agnostic is Robert Ingersoll (1833-99), a man much ahead of his time. I think Jager would do well to read this book.

Jacoby points out that the constitution deliberately doesn’t mention God. Of this Ingersoll said, “They knew that the recognition of a deity would be seized by fanatics and zealots as a pretext for destroying the liberty of thought.”

The founders saw the violence and war in Europe about religion and didn’t want that for America. It was not till the 1980s that politicians started saying God bless America in speeches.

In a 1947 Supreme Court decision against religious education and prayer in public schools Justice Black said, “The First Amendment rests upon the premise that both religion and government can best work to achieve their lofty aims if each is left free from the other within its respective sphere.”

I think that the Pew Forum data cited

by Burstiner is conservative since atheism is demonized in our society. I think the numbers are much higher.

Jager needs to learn that when he wears the mayor’s hat he must separate Mayor Jager from citizen Jager. Otherwise he brings the office down to the lowest common denominator.

Ingersoll said, “We reward hypocrisy and elect men entirely destitute of real principle, and this will never change until the people become grand enough to do their own thinking.”

Having leaders who impose their righteous attitudes and thinking on the people does not foster independent thought. A good leader doesn’t need to do that.

Sylvia De Rooy, Westhaven

Editor: I am writing in reference to “Abortion Prayers Unfazed,” Feb 21. I know that anyone who serves in a public office can do what they want in their spare time.

However, it kind of makes me wonder why Lance Madsen, one of our council members, wants to sit out in the weather — when he doesn’t even have any woman parts.

He is taking his stand on anti-abortion, which he is allowed to take. Will he provide for the unwanted babies he is so desperate to defend before they are even here? Maybe he even has a bank account set up for them.

This is a man who is serving our population, and his prayer and fanaticism make me wonder what he stands for on the politics of our town.

Editor: Dear Mr. Jaeger: Please review your First Amendment and the McCollum decision. Please note that it does state clearly that church and state are separate.

Please keep your religion out of Eureka city government. It is unconstitutional.

Cartoon by joel mielke

at city council meetings is very affirming for those of us who oppose government promotion of any religion. Thanks are due to Ms. Beaton, the ACLU and the Freedom from Religion Foundation.

Regardless of how one may interpret the establishment clause of the First Amendment, it is clear that the founding fathers saw that the only way to safeguard religious freedom was for the government to stay out of it. Mixing state and church can only exclude a significant number of citizens whose belief is other than the presumed predominant Christian faith and others who are agnostic or atheist.

Presumably, prayers need not be spoken aloud. The only reason for doing so is to identify the purveyor as promoting a particular religion — invariably Christianity. When the purveyor is a public entity, their religious promotion can only have a stifling effect on those who do not share that belief, and it implies that they have lesser standing under that entity.

According to polls, the numbers of people professing no religious belief are increasing. And religious extremists of various faiths continue to use their beliefs to justify hate crimes against certain segments of the population. As a result, more of us have become more assertive in exercising our right not to have religion imposed on us, our public institutions or our fellow human beings.

Some misinterpret enforcement of separation of state and church as an attempt to deprive believers of their right to believe and pray to whatever supernatural being they may choose. Everyone has that right and anyone can pray at any time and at any place they choose. But they do not have the right to insert religious practice into governmental functions which apply to all citizens.

Fire Wasn’t Trivial Editor: I was part of the initial attack crew responsible for the successful suppression of the July, 2012, “Spanish Flat ” wildfire caused by Mr. Evans’ careless use of fire on the Lost Coast (“The Fireball,” Feb. 21).

I write with 25 years experience as a volunteer wildland firefighter in the Mattole River watershed and also as someone else who once, through negligence, set the woods on fire.

I would like to expand on the Journal article by: Mentioning that state law unequivocally states that he who unleashes fire onto the ground is responsible for all the consequences therefrom; Acknowledging the existence of human communities to the north, south and east of the point of origin of the fire; Pointing out that CalFire prioritizes the Lost Coast as an area of the highest vulnerability to catastrophic wildfire based on its vegetation type, topography, remoteness, proximity to human communities, and number of potential ignition sources during the time of highest fire danger; Offering a standard post-incident accounting of number of structures lost (zero) and number of firefighter injuries (none); Admonishing novice and veteran backpackers that, once a fire is beyond their control, their highest priority is to make contact with 911; And, finally, by imploring Mr. Evans to acknowledge remorse beyond the loss of a Thermarest, to make restitution beyond purchasing a new camp stove, and to express gratitude toward the firefighters

Meditation Misfire Editor: I have been a practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism for the past 10 years and so read Barry Evans’ column on meditation with interest (“Meditation: Stress Reduction or Induction,” Feb. 21). Buddhism is an extremely complex philosophy which teaches literally thousands of types of meditation. However, in very general terms, the purpose of Buddhist meditation is to clear one’s mind of disturbing emotions, particularly attachment. While a sense of calm and well-being is often a byproduct of Buddhist meditation practice, it is never the goal. By definition, being free of attachment means that one has no goal.

Mr. Evans mistakenly asserts that destroying the mind’s complacency is the opposite of healing it. He states that our choices are to (1) meditate on our path to serenity and good health or (2) meditate to realize there is no path. Dharma teaches us not to meditate “on” anything. Only when the mind is free of attachments can we experience clarity and insight.

e want to give readers an update on an incident that happened Feb. 22 in the parking lot of the Humboldt County Library, reported in last week’s paper, especially since it has become the topic of much discussion on the Journal website and in this week’s letters to the editor.

Journal Editor Carrie Peyton Dahlberg was returning books that day when she came upon a crime scene. It was well after a suspect was in custody, cuffed and in the patrol car. Three officers were searching a vehicle and pawing through several large garbage bags of, possibly, pot. There appeared to be no imminent danger.

There was no police caution tape and officers were allowing other library patrons to come and go. Carrie pulled out her cell phone camera and went to work. It was then a Eureka police officer told her, “No photos” — which she took as an order.

Carrie, who had worked as a reporter and editor for the Sacramento Bee for 23 years before moving to Humboldt, knows it is perfectly legal to take any picture in any public place — as a reporter or a member of the public — so she began to protest. It escalated from there. She was ordered to step back and she was threatened with arrest for interfering with an investigation. When she requested the names and ranks of the officers to file a complaint, she was initially met with refusal — in the form of silence. Later, she announced she was going to move in close enough to read their name badges.

Eventually one officer complied with her request for identification in what can be

these

you’ r e gonna

need

described as a sarcastic, demeaning and unprofessional manner.

On Wednesday, Feb. 27, Carrie filed a formal complaint. Police were video recording the incident — we’ve requested a copy — and there is an internal police investigation in progress. We should know those results soon and what actions the city will take.

We know what actions we’d like the city to take. Whichever officer told a reporter, “No photos,” needs further training. (“Step back” is OK; “No photos” is not OK.) We’ve requested information on what regular training EPD officers receive on handling photography at a crime scene, and we will have a follow-up story soon.

There’s also the matter of bullying and intimidation. If you don’t get it, pretend you’re 5‘1” and female. You’re facing three large, physically fit, far younger men — all in uniform, with badges, carrying weapons. One of them tells you not to take photos. Another orders you to step back, threatening you with arrest. He refuses to comply when you first ask his name.

Because they are big, strong and are wearing a uniform, and they speak in a commanding, authoritative voice — that doesn’t mean they are right. The officers involved need to be reminded of the law, have Carrie’s complaint placed in their personnel folders and most importantly — get some retraining on how to treat members of the public and the press.

And an apology would be nice.

No Cheese Balls Here

Arcata says Cypress Grove’s wastewater violations are not (yet) that big a deal

By Heidi Walters

heidiwalters@northcoastjournal.com

A

nyone who reads the tiny print in the back of newspapers — the legal notices — might have noticed the appearance last month of an apparently very grave affair: All of last year, Cypress Grove Chevre was in “significant noncompliance for discharge of oil and grease” into the city of Arcata’s sewer lines.

Oh, no. Trouble again? Cypress Grove had already gone through considerable scrutiny and neighbor push-back last year when it tried to add a big goat dairy to its operation in the Arcata Bottom, on land it was set to acquire near its existing cream-

ery on Q Street. (See “The Goat Test,” July 28, 2011.) Factory farming! Goat poop! Talk and meet-ups did not appease critics, so the company chucked the Arcata plan and instead set up the new farm in Dow’s Prairie, in McKinleyville.

Now this: Apparently, in all four quarters of 2012, the creamery exceeded what are called “pre-treatment” standards for oil and grease in the wastewater flowing from its cheese-making factory into the city’s sewer lines. It wasn’t a question of what about the goat poop, this time, but what about that cheesy offal getting washed off the cheese-making equipment

into the drains at the creamery.

On the phone shortly after the notice came out, however, neither Bob McCall, Cypress Grove’s sales director, nor David Estes, the company’s operations manager, sounded too concerned. Yes, the creamery has been in violation of the industrial discharge permit from the city — chronic violation, said Estes, for at least a couple of years, now. But, he said, the company’s expansion plan includes a new pre-treatment system with better grease interceptors — wastewater collection tanks that trap grease as the water flows through.

And the city seems content to let that

serve as the fix when it goes online in about a year.

Although the cheese fats entering the water system with Cypress Grove’s effluent have often exceeded the city’s limit, McCall and Estes know of no instances in which that’s caused a problem. The real issue, they said, is that the city’s pretreatment standard for fats, oil and grease is among the strictest in the land: 50 mg per liter of wastewater discharge (about two tablespoons of oil per five gallons of wastewater).

“It’s extremely stringent compared to other municipalities,” said McCall. “Los Angeles’ standard is 600 mg per liter. [A city in] North Carolina — 275; [a city in] Colorado — 200 mg per liter.”

He was citing a document from the State Water Resources Control Board noting a range of fats, oil and grease limits.

Last year, said Estes, the amount of oil and grease in the creamery’s effluent ranged from 68 mg per liter to, at the highest, 200 mg per liter. They’re not saying it’s right to exceed the city’s standard like that. But the proof is in the impact. The problem with fats, oil and grease is they

can solidify and clog the sewer lines. If that happens, the lines can back up and cause an overflow of sewage — containing far worse things than just grease balls — possibly into creeks and the bay.

Estes and McCall said the cheese waste from the creamery — crumbles of stuff washed off the machines with soapy water at the end of the day — doesn’t tend to ball up in the sewer lines like, say, restaurant grease can. Perhaps, they suggested, that’s also why the city is being lenient and only requiring the creamery to post a legal notice about its violations.

Last week, by phone, Mark Andre, environmental services director for the City of Arcata, and Erik Lust, the city’s water and wastewater superintendent, confirmed much of what the creamery folks said.

They even agreed that the city’s fats, oil and grease limit is too strict. In fact, said Andre, the city is revamping its sewer use ordinance, and intends, among other things, to increase the fats, oil and grease standard.

“One thing to keep in mind,” said Lust, “is even though it’s been published in the paper that Cypress Grove has been

a chronic violater of the standard, we haven’t actually had any sewer blockages in their line. They’re a good example of why the limit should be higher than 50.

The standard we’ve been using is actually more restrictive than what would be considered normal.”

A water treatment plant must meet standards established by the national Environmental Protection Agency for discharges from the plant — in Arcata’s case, the water treatment plant’s permit governs discharges into the marsh (which is part of the system) and Humboldt Bay. It’s up to each municipality, however, to set the standard for what’s coming in to the water treatment plant by way of the city’s sewer lines, said Andre.

“The cities can customize those standards,” Andre said.

So, why is Arcata’s standard 50 mg per liter for fats, oil and grease?

“It’s kind of a soft target,” said Lust, “because the conditions are different everywhere you go. For example, if you have a brand new sewer system that’s all made of plastic, it’s not as easy for grease to build up in that. So you can have a higher limit.”

Arcata’s aging sewer infrastructure has some lines that are 20 to 30 years old. And the city has had sewer line upsets in the past — but none from cheesy wastewater from the creamery. Andre said the city has major upgrades planned for both its piping and collection system and for the treatment plant. These upgrades, Lust added, should also resolve issues with the city’s water treatment plant that resulted in violations of the EPA permit for several years. The city recently was granted a new discharge permit, good for five years.

Among the upgrades planned: changing from a chlorination system to ultraviolet, and moving the treatment plant’s effluent discharge point from Butcher Slough to McDaniel Slough. And, said Andre, the use of marshes in the wildlife refuge for treatment has been codified in the permit, “with clear goals for them” laid out.

Meanwhile, said Lust, for industrial users discharging wastewater into the sewer lines, the city probably will change the fats, oil and grease standard from 50 mg per liter to 100 mg per liter.

“Even at 100, Cypress Grove might have an occasional violation,” at least until

its new pre-treatment system is up and running, cautioned Lust. “Cypress Grove understands they still need to do a better job pre-treatment-wise.”

On a recent Friday morning out at the creamery, as the two resident outdoor black cats — Mr. Mittens and Mr. Whiskers — licked their cheese-fed chops in the semi-sun, McCall pointed out the broad green field north of the existing building. That’s where the new building, about 24,000 square feet, would be. It is expected to accomodate about 10 years of production growth.

Some neighbors, actually, had fought this expansion, too — they were worried about increased traffic, said McCall, and the loss of agricultural land, among other things. Critics and creamery officials reached a cease-fire last year, with the creamery agreeing to a number of things, including an agricultural easement and a commitment to ease traffic congestion.

Construction contracts — including for that new pre-treatment system — have yet to be firmed up, said Estes, but the company hopes to break ground this year. l

TRINIDAD / BY HEIDI WALTERS / MARCH 4, 2:53 P.M.

GOVERNMENT / BY HEIDI WALTERS / MARCH 4, 11:56 A.M.

Incredible Shrinking Council

Step Up, Humboldtia

But this is no circus trick, not even a political implosion — though the small City of Trinidad has been known to generate some excitement in recent times and years past.

It’s just life, intervening.

Simply: The five-member Trinidad City Council is down to three members now — Mayor Julie Fulkerson, Mayor Pro-Tem Dwight Miller and Councilmember Tom Davies.

Councilmember Kathy Bhardwaj is out on sick leave, possibly for as long as three months. And Councilmember Maria Bauman, elected just last November, resigned in February, citing a family emergency.

The city’s trying to re-fill Bauman’s position — there are three years and nine months left to her four-year term.

Why would a person want to be on the Trinidad City Council? To lord it over the city’s 300-some residents, of course.

And to make some decisions in their best interest, it is assumed. There’s some work involved: meetings on the second Wednesday of the month in the evening for about three hours; reading the staff material handed out the Friday before — which sometimes might mean a fair bit of homework. Says City Manager Karen Suiker: “We are amazingly busy and involved for such a small community. We have all the issues of a large community (and more!), but we just don’t have the corresponding staff or resources.”

Candidates can expect decent teammates, however, says City Clerk Gabe Adams. He describes the temperament of the board these days as harmonious: “Their opinions vary slightly, but for the most part, there’s no one that stands out or tips the scale in an opposite direction. They are all thoughtful in their deliberations and provide useful input during discussions.

Hey, quit complaining — you elected those county supervisors, now tell them what you want them to do. Can’t make it to the courthouse on Tuesdays to weigh in on decisions in person at the board meetings? Can make it but don’t want to burn up gas traveling in from the sticks?

That’s all very sad, you know, but now many more of you have fewer such excuses: The county has opened an online forum where citizens can talk about the topics troubling them. Says a county news release: County staff will read the statements from citizens and incorporate them into the decision-making process. Further, the County aims to empower citizens by providing them information on issues to enrich online comment and to provide more opportunities for citizen interaction and engagement.

It’s called Open Humboldt. And the first topic of discussion opens with this question: “How would you prioritize the County’s budget in fiscal year 2013-14?”

The responses are coming in — 35 last we checked, but more being added fast.

People are talking about crime, wages, business development, first-home buyer programs and more.

The forum was developed by Peak Democracy, a non-partisan company from the Bay Area. ● RECREATION / BY HEIDI WALTERS / MARCH 1, 5:03 P.M.

OK, so it’s been out there ready to tromple along for some time now. But tomorrow — Saturday, March 2 — is the grand opening for the 1.5 mile multipleuse trail through the wildlife sanctuary along the Elk River.

It’s called the Hikshari’ Trail — a Wiyot name for the place. Numerous private and government entities collaborated on it. It’s got dunes and willows and saltmarsh, as the Redwood Community Action Agency notes. And it’s got parking: off Truesdale Avenue, south of Bayshore Mall; along Hilfiker Lane; and off Herrick and 101 at

Three and a half years after budget cuts forced HSU to briefly close its Natural History Museum at G and 13th streets in Arcata, the university is partnering with Redwood Capital Bank to relocate the museum in a new space — across the street in the Figueiredo’s building. The video store recently closed its Arcata branch. Redwood Capital, meanwhile, will open a new branch in the old museum building.

The Professor and the Vote Yesterday, the Supreme Court tackled a prickly issue: Is Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act unconstitutional because it makes some states (and some counties and townships), but not others, report to the feds before they can make any changes in their voting procedures?

That’s what Shelby, Ala. (which sued the federal government) and other critics claim. The Justice Department doesn’t agree — and it’s quite possible that one of the arguments that Solicitor General Donald Verrilli, Jr., made yesterday for keeping Section 5 intact was informed in part by a paper written by Ryan Emenaker, a political science professor at College of the Redwoods.

Emenaker, reached by phone today, said he was researching the Voting Rights Act last summer out of general interest and to prepare to teach it in class. A couple of months ago, when he learned that the Supreme Court was going to be taking on Shelby County v. Holder, he wrote a paper presenting an argument for keeping Section 5 that, he said, he hadn’t seen anyone else make yet. And he sent it to SCOTUSblog — the premerie news and research site on the Supreme Court that all the law clerks scour for smart nuggets.

“I didn’t hear from them for a while,

10 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 2013 • northcoastjournal.com

and I figured they were just blowing me off,” Emenaker said. “Then they wrote back. They said my paper was the impetus for a new symposium.”

More scholars were asked to write essays, which were published on the blog in a special series. Emenaker is the first community college professor to ever write for the SCOTUSblog; his colleagues in the symposium hailed mostly from law schools at places like Yale, Columbia, George Washington and Stanford.

You can follow a link on our website to read Emenaker’s paper.

He argued that because there is a process for getting out from under this special federal oversight, it is constitutional.

Many states and local jurisdictions have used this “bailout” provision. Even so, nine states and dozens of counties and townships remain listed, including four counties in California (Kings, Merced, Monterey and Yuba).

The court’s decision is expected to be close — 5-4, Emenaker’s predicting. ●

Move Over for Cyclists Joe Mello, 56, has built a 10-foot by sixfoot steel cross, bedecked it with bicycle sprockets and the busted-up remains of the Calfee bicycle his big brother, John Mello, treasured, and planted it on a slope beside Highway 101.

John, 57, of McKinleyville, was riding the Calfee last Sunday when, just north of Trinidad, a county-owned Nissan Titan drifted to the shoulder he was in and struck and killed him. The CHP reported that the driver, Brian Bresee, 26, of Eureka, a Humboldt County Parks employee, did not appear to be impaired.

Joe — an avid bicyclist also — said this morning by phone that he wanted to

make a statement. After his brother’s sudden death, he went into his shop — Joe Mello’s Auto Repair — and built the cross.

He painted it white, in the manner of the white ghost bikes that people sometimes place on the side of the road, including locally, where a cyclist has been killed in a collision.

Then he hauled it to the site. He says he didn’t consult Caltrans, and doesn’t plan to. “I’m a rebel,” he said, sounding more sad than defiant.

In a news release his cycling friends sent to the media, Joe said in part: “John was riding legally and in a way that should have been safe. Is it too much to ask that drivers have enough skill and concern to not steer over the fog line?”

He added that his brother, who leaves behind two grown children and four grandchildren, was “a quiet and sort of serious kind of guy who was happiest when he was on his bike.”

The brothers, who grew up in Arcata, got into cycling in 2002. Joe took it to the competition level; John — a small guy at 5‘6” and 140 pounds — liked the long rides and hill climbs. He rode the Tour of the Unknown Coast every year, and the Chico Wildflower Century, and others.

Last Sunday, he was returning from a ride to Prairie Creek, Joe said, and if he’d finished the ride it would have been about 90 miles.

He hopes the cross reminds drivers to give cyclists room. “Just move over,” he said. “It don’t cost a dime to move over and save a life.”

Update, March 4: A memorial bicycle ride is planned on Sunday. The ride begins at 10 a.m. at the Arcata Plaza, goes through the Arcata Bottom and over the Mad River on the Hammond Trail Bridge, then continues north, eventually ending up at the place where Mello died, says Bigfoot Bicycle club in a news release on greenwheels.org. ● EUREKA / BY ANDREW GOFF / FEB. 27, 5:16 P.M.

Charles grew up near Pecwan, along the Klamath River in Waukel Village (her parents were Nettie and Harry Waukel).

She spoke fluent Yurok — it was her first language — and was a master basket weaver who taught new generations of weavers the tradition.

When she was 91 she was interviewed

I dream about it. It just comes to me and I have to make it. I put everything else away and just start making it. If you want to make a cap, just make it.”

She added that she didn’t draw out a pattern first, but worked straight from the image in her head.

Unleashed

Managing dogs on the beach helps protect seal pups and snowy plovers

By Deidre Pike

T

rinidad Beach. Low tide. A pair of marine biology students measure tide pool lengths and depths.

A couple wanders behind a haystack rock for a romantic moment. Children check out sea urchins and starfish, firmly attached to damp rocks.

Sudden chaos. Two dogs race at each other from opposite ends of the beach.

Barking wildly. Fixated on an encounter, brief, with each other. Then galloping together to the foamy shoreline.

Within seconds, I see a marine mammal in one dog’s mouth. Possibly a fur seal pup, dark and slender. Small or at least much smaller than either dog.

The dog’s teeth sink into its neck.

Whipping the animal back and forth.

Thrashing it for the kill.

Owners scream at their dogs. Rushing to the waterline. The dog drops the seal. It swims away or it washes out on a wave.

The owner of one dog, a young woman, disappears quickly toward the parking lot, towing her dog, now on a leash. The other owner, a 20-something male, remains on the beach, pointing to the seal’s head bumping up as a low wave crests.

“He’s OK,” the man says of the seal.

“He’s swimming away.”

The dog owner dismisses a suggestion to call a rescue group.

“No, I don’t think he’s hurt,” the man says. “Look, see, there he is.”

A dark bump drifts away toward Trinidad Head.

The man doesn’t put his dog back on a leash. “I don’t know what happened. He’s never like this. He always listens.”

Fido’s a killer?

The scene I witnessed at Trinidad State Beach late last year is what Dennis Wood, founder of the Northcoast Marine Mammal Center, calls a “worst-case scenario,” a tragic encounter between a marine

HARBOR SEAL PUP OLLIE WAS RESCUED FROM INDIAN BEACH IN TRINIDAD ON JUNE 5. SHE WAS BROUGHT IN WITH PUNCTURE WOUNDS TO BOTH OF HER REAR FLIPPERS, AS WELL AS HER RIGHT FRONT FLIPPER, MOST LIKELY CAUSED BY A DOG ATTACK.

mammal and unleashed dogs that aren’t, for one reason or another, responsive to an owner’s commands.

Many owners may think they have voice control over an unleashed dog — but they don’t.

“If you have an animal with any kind of prey drive,” he says, “and they see something, you might not be able to stop your dog from chasing down another animal.”

Unleashed dogs on the beach can be a real problem, says Lynda Stockton, a marine mammal stranding coordinator for Humboldt and Del Norte counties. Stockton, also a dog owner, answers calls to the center’s hotline.

12 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 2013 • northcoastjournal.com

She can list five or six such incidents from last year, including two seal pups who died from dog attacks. She recalls one month in which three separate dog bite incidents occurred on the slender stretch of beach below Trinidad Memorial Lighthouse.

“That’s one of the smallest beaches here, and yet it was bad,” she says. “We don’t know if it’s the same dog or what.”

Initially, when rescuers reach a mauled

seal, bite punctures might be hard to see, hidden under the seal’s fur. “Once we get them in the hospital, we see the damage.”

Bleeding wounds. Broken flippers.

A Pacific harbor seal pup was rescued from Indian Beach in Trinidad after a dog attack on May 8. The 18-pound pup, later named Bongela, had severe lacerations on his face and puncture wounds on his flippers. He was rehabilitated at the Northcoast Marine Mammal Center and was released on July 24 at a healthy weight of 51 pounds.

Another harbor seal pup, Ollie, was rescued on June 5 at the same beach.

Ollie had puncture wounds on both of her rear flippers, as well as her right front flipper. X-rays revealed that Ollie’s back flippers were also broken. The center’s former director, Robyn Walker, says the wounds were most likely caused by a dog attack. Ollie survived and was released in September.

Yet another harbor seal pup, Mary, was rescued from Samoa in April. Mary had puncture wounds on her sides and her back flippers. The Marine Mammal Center volunteers weren’t able to save her.

This handful of anecdotes clearly understates the problem. By far, most encounters between dogs and seals are unreported, including the attack I witnessed.

Of course, dogs aren’t the only danger facing seals on the beach.

Well-meaning human intervention is a problem. Boats collide with seals. Seals get entangled in bits of rope or fishing line. Sharks are a natural predator, dining on seals for lunch.

But it’s particularly heartbreaking, Stockton says, to see damage done by a

household pet when the injury could have been avoided so easily.

“If my dog ever did that, I don’t know what I’d do,” Stockton says.

Living outside the food chain “Many people believe that cats and dogs should be allowed to roam free. People introduced domesticated cats and dogs to this country, and however much we may appreciate them as part of our lives, those animals are not native wildlife or part of a naturally functioning ecosystem.”

— from a U.S. Fish and Wildlife report, “Cats and Dogs and Birds on the Beach — A Deadly Combination” Dogs have the instincts of hunters. But their meals are pink slime in gravy doled out from tin cans or salmon-flavored kibble purchased in 40-pound bags at the local pet store. Domestic dogs were once working animals, herding sheep or guarding farms. Nowadays most dogs, for all the mental health benefits they bring to the human species, are pets that live outside a natural food chain.

Wood, who is a veterinarian as well as founder of the marine mammal center, enjoys walking his dogs on the beach. He keeps them on leashes.

“You can get those long retractable leashes, 30 to 40 feet, and they can run and play,” Wood says. “The fact that my dog wants to get off its leash and play is a poor excuse.”

Most Humboldt dog owners are responsible human beings with friendly, well-trained canines. They buy local, organic produce, bring it home in reusable shopping bags, drive hybrid cars and recycle. Good human beings, all, who don’t need another environmental cause about which to feel guilty.

That said, dogs, especially unleashed ones, endanger wild creatures, including harbor seal pups and

snowy plovers.

Leash laws at beaches in Humboldt County vary widely, depending on who’s in control of the beach, says Andre Hale, Humboldt County animal control officer.

Some beaches are under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management, a federal agency, or are state parks. Clam Beach is a county park — and the leash laws there vary not only on where you’re walking but also on the time of year.

Leash laws at Clam Beach, for example, are tighter and more strictly enforced during snowy plover nesting season, March through September.

“Clam Beach is a location where snowy plovers nest,” Hale says. “So there are restrictions based on the birds’ nesting habits.”

Dogs are one of several dangers to the Pacific Coast western snowy plover, a ground-nesting shorebird listed as “threatened” under the Endangered Species Act. In the past several months, plans have been hatching to minimize damage to plover populations from crows and ravens, birds in the corvid family, who consider shorebird eggs a tasty treat.

Human activity — especially the proliferation of litter that attracts the corvids — puts snowy plovers at risk. Also, plovers are difficult to see on beaches.

Humans might get too near a nest without even knowing it.

Dogs, however, have no problem finding birds’ nests.

“Many dogs are naturally inclined to hunt birds after generations of breeding for that purpose,” states a U.S. Fish and Wildlife report. “Unleashed dogs chase birds, destroy nests and kill chicks.”

Damage can occur fast, sometimes without the owners’ knowledge.

“Please be considerate,” warns Daria “Sprout” Topousis on the Humboldt Dogs website. Topousis’ site lists the dogfriendly beaches in the area and advises owners to enjoy their freedoms responsibly. “We don’t want to lose plovers or our dogs’ access to the beach.”

Special agent Tim Broadman, of the NOAA Fisheries Office for Law Enforcement, investigates and writes up federal cases against pet owners who never suspected their dogs could kill or injure another living creature. “‘My Fido is so calm and nice that he would never hurt anyone or anything,’” Broadman says, quoting pet owners. “But people take eyes off their dog, and it goes and kills a young harbor seal hidden in the continued on next page

continued from previous page bushes. The dog just takes a bite out of it.

It’s an instinctive thing to do.”

Broadman owns dogs but rarely takes them to the beach. They like to chase gulls, he says.

“I’m a dog lover,” Broadman says. “And I’m all for leash-law beaches, but people around here wouldn’t abide by that.”

A Clam Beach morning A family spills out of an SUV — young parents, young kids and two enthusiastic Dobermans straining at leashes. The dogs are barking. A toddler is screaming.

Another car pulls in and parks. A jogger and her pet, a medium-sized mixed breed that exudes Happy Dogness, hop out of a van. The dog owner hits the Hammond Trail and her unleashed canine noses about the parking lot, shitting in some bushes and greeting humans and other dogs with an enthusiastic wag.

Welcome to Clam Beach on a sunny Saturday. The parking lot, nearly full at 11 a.m., is lined with several signs warning dog owners to keep dogs on leashes in the parking lot, campground and everywhere else from March 1 to Sept. 30, a.k.a. snowy plover nesting season. It’s not yet March.

The waveslope, or area covered by the last high tide, is a leash-free zone for dogs under their owner’s voice control. No matter where or when dog owners are on the beach: “Dogs must be under complete control of owner.”

The Dobermans yank themselves free to chase Happy Dog. The Dobermans’ owners holler their names. They yell at each other to go after the dogs. They try to calm the hysterical toddler.

None of this disturbs the beach-walking satisfaction of HSU alumna Allison Lui and her friend. In fact, Lui wishes that she could bring her own dogs from Sacramento to run on the beach and make new friends in Humboldt County. “They would love it up here.”

Since she moved to Arcata for college a few years ago, Lui’s encounters with other people’s dogs on the beach — leashed and unleashed — have been good ones.

“I feel like a lot of the dogs are very well-behaved,” she says. “And cute.”

At this, the Dobermans bound up to Lui and stop to sniff. The dogs are no longer trailing leashes. Owners still shout their names intermittently.

“Sorry about that.” An owner carrying a leash apologizes to Lui as the Dobermans, now best of friends with Happy Dog, gallop off into the sand dunes. Lui smiles and waves. No problem.

On the waveslope, Willow Creek architect Joan Briggs walks 16-week-old Chesapeake Bay retriever Bochy. The

puppy’s on a longish red leash for his first trip to the beach. Briggs and Bochy are killing time, waiting to meet a flight at the airport.

“I thought we’d take an outing to the beach,” Briggs says. “He’s not sure about the waves. He’s been barking at the foam.”

Briggs is heartened by Humboldt’s dogfriendly beaches. In fact, she’s noticed a more accepting attitude toward pets all over California — even in urban areas.

She was shopping in San Rafael recently and an employee at a kitchenware store welcomed Bochy.

“I didn’t think a store would let a puppy inside,” Briggs says. “But they said, ‘Bring him in!’”

As Briggs talks, Bochy bumbles about blissfully, not seeming to mind the leash.

He digs up a sun-bleached shell fragment and munches away.

“Don’t eat that,” Briggs says, offhandedly. Overall, Briggs says she has experienced only a few problems with other dogs on Humboldt’s beaches.

As she talks, the Dobermans and Happy Dog arrive, owners now a football field or so away. Briggs pulls Bochy in close as the three dogs circle her and the puppy.

There’s a bit of tension.

“They look pretty young,” Briggs says of the Dobermans.

Finally, the three unleashed hounds race off along the waveslope, then back into the tall grassy dunes.

Leashing Lassie Leashes benefit dogs as much as they do the environment, Wood says.

A leashed dog won’t be as susceptible to sneaker waves.

A leashed dog won’t be attacked or bitten by a defensive California sea lion basking on the beach. Even if the sea lion isn’t in attack mode, the mammals are often carriers of leptospirosis, bacteria that can kill dogs and that’s contagious to humans. Untreated leptospirosis infections can lead to meningitis, liver damage and kidney failure.

“We’ve seen increasing numbers of leptospirosis in dogs,” Wood says. “It’s transmitted in urine and they can pick it up from the sand.”

The numbers of leptospirosis cases in marine mammals have doubled each decade since workers began monitoring the problem on stretches of California beaches in the 1970s, says Shelbi Stoudt, stranding and data manager at The Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito. Workers aren’t sure whether the actual number is increasing or reporting efforts are improving. Stoudt agrees, however, the problem’s a real one.

14 North Coast Journal • Thursday, March 7, 2013 • northcoastjournal.com

“I am not personally aware of any specific cases of dogs contracting leptospirosis directly from sea lions, but it is possible and even likely that it occurs,” she says.

She recommends that if people see a marine mammal on the beach, they should stay at least 50 feet away.

On the beach

He once saw unleashed dogs go after small children, north of Clam Beach in McKinleyville. Two little children were playing in the sand and the smaller one, a toddler, was attacked. “That was the most alarming thing for me,” Broadman says. “I saw what a dog could do — and so quickly.”

He’s seen packs of dogs go after farm animals. “They see a goat or a sheep and the play turns into harassment or a ‘take.’”

That’s why owners need to be aware of what their dogs are doing — all the time.

“Pretty soon, when dogs get to be dogs, when there are two or more, they don’t act how they act one-on-one with their owners,” he says. “They can hit kids.

They can hit wild animals. They turn into, much more, killers.”

Broadman agrees that most Humboldt County dog owners would never want to harm a wild creature. Their dogs like to run on the beaches, and owners aren’t aware of the dangers.

Another afternoon at Trinidad Beach.

High tide. A young couple hops out of their car and releases the hound, or rather, a 2-year-old American pit bull. The dog’s on a leash, yanking its owners toward the waves. Halfway there, the dog pauses, assumes that familiar hunching posture.

“This always happens!” the woman says.

She looks around sheepishly, sees only me, then kicks sand over the steaming golden poop.

“He’s still just a puppy,” she says. “Look at all that energy.”

By this time, the dog’s unleashed and racing into the water.

On to Moonstone Beach, where a sign in the parking lot states: “West of this sign all dogs must be securely leashed or under voice control of owner. Voice control means your dog will come to you at first calling. Violators will be cited.”

Above the sign, a box dispenses bags for pet feces. This tactic works for most pet owners, though a couple large turd piles ripen in the sun west of the sign during a recent visit.

Moonstone is doggie heaven on any weekend afternoon, with more than a dozen pooches on and off leashes, wagging and fetching, making new friends, racing into the water and splashing gleefully back onto the beach.

Dash, an 8-year-old mix of border collie and Australian shepherd, is not on a leash. But the dog stays close, within a few feet of his owners, Kit and C.J. McKinley of Eureka. When C.J. throws a stick, Dash runs for it and totes it back immediately. Other dogs and waves and humans do not distract Dash at all. He’s responsive to every word that comes out of his owner’s mouths.

“He’s super-smart and well-trained,” Kit McKinley says. “The epitome of voice control.”

The McKinleys say they have few problems with other dogs on the beach.

Most people with aggressive, unfriendly dogs know enough to keep those animals on leashes.

But Moonstone Beach can get crowded. And some owners think their dogs are under voice control — when they obviously are not. If an owner needs to repeat the dog’s name or a command more than once, the dog is not under voice control.

Samba + Love

SambAmore’s new CD, plus Motherlode with Fred, benefits, Beatles and a parting Saint

By Bob Doran

bobdoran@northcoastjournal.com

S

amba + love = SambAmore.

That’s the derivation of the name for Arcata’s drum/dance/music ensemble, a 10- to 25-piece outfit that came out of the even larger Brazil/Mardi Gras-inspired Samba da Alegria that plays at the North Country Fair. Jesse Jonathan founded the group around five years ago starting with samba and drawing on influences beyond, including AfroCuban, African and Middle Eastern rhythms and music.

“We love samba, but we want to do more than just that — we wanted to expand it,” said Jonathan who has traveled to Brazil to see samba in action. “Samba is a living art form; it’s changing all the time.”

A few years ago Jonathan connected with Jordan Rain, aka Yogoman. When Rain’s Yogoman Burning Band came to town from Washington, a battery of SambAmore drummers would open the show with some classic African-inspired Brazilian batucada.

The Burning Band horns would join in, fusing their brassy funk/ska sound with the rhythm. SambAmore expanded on that notion, adding its own horn section and electric bass and guitar.

Last summer, the local musicians embarked on what they called Operation Water Dragon. They joined Yogoman for a West Coast tour and ended with a SambAmore show at the Arcata Playhouse. Before that

show, the band spent the day recording its repertoire for a CD titled, you guessed it, Operation Water Dragon. (Good stuff, BTW.) SambAmore returns to the Playhouse Friday for a release party. Catch a preview Thursday at noon when the band crams into KHUM’s studio for a live session.

When I spoke with Jonathan on Monday, he was heading for a rehearsal of another band he plays in, Motherlode. He’s the baritone sax player, part of a killer horn section.

Started last year by guitarist Greg Camphuis from Bump Foundation, the 10-piece Motherlode starts with straight-ahead funk a la James Brown and adds shades of Funkadelic and Afrofunk a la Fela. As drummer Pete Ciotti explained, “We’ve been working hard getting into the roots of funk; it’s definitely got me going back to my roots. People think funk is really simple, but sometimes being laid back is difficult.”

Motherlode is gearing up for a really big show Saturday night at Humboldt Brews with an extra special guest on trombone, Fred Wesley. As funk aficionados know, Wesley served as bandleader/musical director of James Brown’s band, The J.B.’s.

His writing credits include hits like “Hot Pants.” He also spent time playing with Parliament-Funkadelic and led a spin-off known as The Horny Horns. Getting him on board was surprisingly easy: Ciotti found his email through his website. “We sent him

our Facebook link with videos and stuff and showed him some of our songs; I guess he liked what he saw.” The plan is to record Saturday’s show for a live Motherlode/Wesley album including some classic J.B.’s tracks like “Good Foot,” along with Motherlode originals penned by Camphuis. Needless to say, the band is psyched. Ciotti admits he’s also a bit nervous, “feeling some of that James Brown don’t-miss-a-beat-or-you’ll-befined vibe.” I’m sure he’ll do fine — the band is tight — and on the good foot. Should be a great night.

Speaking of recording CDs, the wild country quartet Gunsafe is throwing a launch party in advance of recording a bona fide album Friday after Arts Arcata at the Bat Cave (1164 11th St. in Arcata). The plan is to auction off some cool stuff donated by friends; DJ Knickerbocky will be doing onedolla on-the-spot portraits and the band will roll out some on-the-spot new tunes.

Sounds like fun.

Other options? For starters there are a bunch of benefits.

Eco-activist Richard Gienger’s 11th annual Pisces Party on Friday at Beginnings is a birthday celebration/benefit for forest and watershed restoration work with the rollicking Casey Neill and The Norway Rats down from Portland for the occasion, plus Carlotta country swingers Falling Rocks.

Animal Carnival, the third annual Animal Costume Party Friday at Portuguese Hall, is a benefit for KMUD/KMUE with The House of Vibe Allstars featuring Chali2na from Ozomatli, Deploi, Kelley Mak and Piper.

Saturday there’s the Arcata Eye Ball benefitting the Arcata Ridge Trail with an auction and various local luminaries playing music (see item on page 27 for full details).

There’s also a benefit for Humboldt Community Breast Health Project at Sewell Gallery that night, with stories and songs

by Jeff DeMark and The LaPatinas plus the jammy string trio The Spindrifters.

We have dueling Fab Four tributes Saturday night. The Arkley Center has Come Together: The Beatles Concert Experience, a touring show covering the band’s entire history with costume changes, light show, etc.

Have to say, when I caught the Experience, the costumes were pretty bad, particularly those for the Sgt. Pepper era. Humboldt’s own Beatles cover band, Silver Hammer, plays that night at Cher-Ae Heights in crazy cool Yellow Submarine/Pepper costumes.

Bear River Casino lists Saturday’s show as “St. John and The Sinners‘ Farewell Performance Extravaganza.” As you may recall, the bluesy Sinners won the Journal reader’s poll as “Best Band” two years running. Guitarist/bandleader St. John Hunt is moving to Florida at the end of the month so this is your last chance to dance and to say goodbye (unless you’re a member of the Elks

Lodge, where they’ll be playing at the end of the month). Vocalist Christina D’Alessandro and some of the other Sinners plan on continuing on in some form, so the band will not disappear completely.

The Pine Box Boys return to Six Rivers Brewery Saturday night with more songs of murder and misery. This time the Boys are bringing along some friends: Colonel Jimmy and The Blackfish, a “hellbilly countrygrass” outfit from Sacramento made up of former punk, metal and alt. rock players who claim to “have country in our souls and rock in our blood.”

Portland garage-rock, indie-pop psychedelic-soul trio The Quick and Easy Boys plays the Jambalaya Saturday.

Underground hip hop veteran Alejandro Ocana, aka 2Mex, came out of L.A.’s Good Life Café/Project Blowed scene 20 years ago. He’s still at it, bringing his show to the Red Fox Saturday night with the ubiquitous Pressure Anya DJs opening.

Take a traditional bluegrass line-up, swap Dobro for fiddle, add a healthy dose of rock, spread with jam and you have Greensky Bluegrass. The picking is good, the songs likewise. The quintet from Kalamazoo has been touring relentlessly for years, working up the jamgrass ladder. The boys hit the festy circuit come summer — Telluride, Electric Forest. NW String Summit, etc. — but first a West Coast swing brings them to Humboldt Brews Tuesday with the Ryan Montbleau Band opening.

World Famous continues its electro barrage with two shows this week. First up, a party at the Jambalaya Thursday with a two-hour set by Machinedrum, aka Travis Stewart, a beatmeister based out of Brooklyn, with local support from Zanapod. Then there’s a triple bill next Wednesday at the Arcata Theatre Lounge featuring Emancipator, aka Douglas Appling, a producer known for a more organic sound. His latest, Dusk to Dawn, draws on American folk sounds — banjo, hammered dulcimer and the like. He’ll be joined by violinist Ilya Goldberg. He’s touring with British downtempo producer Little People and Seattle-based production duo Odesza, made up of Harrison Mills and Clayton Knight.

A couple of shows on the alt. side: Seattle garage duo Pony Time is on the road with a new CD/LP, Go Find Your Own. A tour with electro-pop duo Stickers stops at the Shanty Thursday. The Lost Luvs open.

Then Tuesday at the Lil’ Red Lion, it’s yet another PDX band, Appendixes, with Beth Morgan and Eric Sabatino with what they call “slightly psychedelic dream-pop about dinosaurs, rainy weather and unrequited love.” Also on the bill: Blood Gnome, who play “cutesy ball-busting all-girl synth pop … I guess,” according to keyboardist Natalie Arroyo. I guess that works. l

book America The Possible: Manifesto For A New Economy

By James Gustave Speth Yale University Press James Speth is a veteran environmentalist, and this is the latest book by an environmental veteran about how Americans can successfully address a future dominated by climate change. But his subtitle is not deceptive: He identifies the economy as the crucial element.

The book is divided into four parts: what’s wrong now, a vision for a better future, what changes are required to get there, and how to build a political force to make those changes.

The future he’s writing about is not far off: 40 or 50 years. The climate change he’s assuming is caused by the greenhouse gases that have already been spewed into the atmosphere, plus what will be added in the near future. If greenhouse pollution is not reduced and acceleration becomes uncontrollable, or there’s unforeseen abrupt climate change, then the farther future looks more like slow motion nuclear war.

Balancing “realism and hopefulness,” Speth is nevertheless convinced (and he is hardly alone in this) that just addressing the climate change that’s pretty definitely coming will require major political and economic transformation. He identifies precedents and experiments that show promise, but he believes that only an aroused citizenry can create the pressure necessary for fundamental change. (Once called the “ultimate insider,” Speth now returns to Washington as a protestor.)

The good news is that changes needed to cope with the climate crisis — different economic values, restructured institutions (including corporations), etc.— are needed anyway for other reasons (including oil depletion), and are likely to make for a better country and a better world. Such transformations may seem impossible, but they’ve happened before.

Speth’s prose is lean and non-academic. This book is clearly organized and well sourced. For covering so much ground it is amazingly short: under 200 pages of double-spaced print, with another 36 pages of notes.

So apart from coping with possible emotional shock, it is readable and re-readable.

On first reading, I’ve identified two particular virtues. One is a specific point: Speth recognizes that an economically stronger middle class is essential if we’re to cope with what’s coming, including higher prices for just about everything.

The general virtue is that he shows how interrelated the problems are and how comprehensive the change must be. He doesn’t dance around this, and his knowledge is itself reassuring. The ideas he discusses aren’t all original, but how they might work together is what’s important.

That very level of analysis can be overwhelming.

There is however another new book that mixes the scales of change to provide more to hold onto, as a companion to Speth’s wise and motivating vision: Hot

by Mark Hertsgaard, which I’ll review next time.

Discover The Absence of Warmth At its best, Eureka’s Discovery Museum exists to challenge kids’ minds through creative play and interactive exhibits. As its website states, the Old Town kid magnet is in the business of “fostering a passion for exploration and learning.” That’s nice.

But it’s not all about the kids! This weekend, the museum will assist a group of brave/dumb local adults in their own “exploration and learning” attempts. In fact, if any of you are reading this, let’s just start the lesson now. Here’s some vocab to get you started: hy·po·ther·mi·a: An abnormally low body temperature, often caused by prolonged exposure to cold. mas·och·ism: A willingness or tendency to subject oneself to unpleasant or trying experiences.

That’s right, gravity fans! This Saturday, March 9, sees the return of the Perilous Plunge, the Discovery Museum’s biggest fundraiser of the year. Starting at 10 a.m., plungers will march from the museum toward the Boardwalk and then generously, one by one, fling themselves off the pier at the foot of F Street into the temperature-challenged waters of Humboldt Bay. (Hopefully they gathered some pledges beforehand.)

If you’ve attended the Plunge in years past, you’re aware that the prime viewing areas fill pretty quickly. This year you have another option: The museum is offering what it calls a “Super Happy Fun Pass” which — for $125/$200 per couple — grants you passage aboard the Madaket, a clear view of the foolishness, the chance to be an honorary judge, and all the mimosas and bloody marys you can drink. (The SHFP also gets you into the Beach Party the night before in the museum.)

Get wet, HumCo. For more information on the Perilous Plunge and the Discovery Museum programs it helps support, jump on over to discovery-museum.org.

After years of work and colorful community fundraising, the land for the proposed four-mile trail, which will connect the Sunny Brae Forest and the Arcata Community Forest, is reportedly only $10,000 away from being purchased.

You may begin having a ball when the ATL’s doors open at 6 p.m. Tickets for the evening are $15. For more info, check out arcatatheatre.com and/or arcataeye.com.

With less than year left until its selfimposed Feb. 12, 2014, could-be expiration date, the future of Kevin Hoover’s Arcata Eye remains undecided. Will the paper fold? Will a buyer materialize? Will it be taken over by the Plazoid masses? Time will, most likely, tell.

In the meantime, we party. This Saturday, March 9, sees the return of the Arcata Eye Ball at the Arcata Theatre Lounge. Now in its 16th year, the evening is packed full of local performers, classic rock and enough color to rival any Arcata Eye front page.

Here’s the what’s skedded: • Vaudevillian antics and artistry with Shea Freelove and his circus.

• Bumpin’ and grindin’ with the Rutabaga Queens.

• Appearance by the Eureka Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.

North COAST Coast JOURNAL Journal •• THURSDAY, Thursday, MARCH MARCH 7, 7, 2013 2013 •• northcoastjournal.com northcoastjournal.com 28 NORTH

AMOUR. An open letter to the loudvoiced guy (and his giggling companions) who attended Sunday’s matinee at the Minor and responded as such: “Three hours for no resolution?! Yeah, French films RULE!” (I’ve added caps and italics to indicate sarcastic emphasis, possibly also eye-rolling.)

First off, writer-director Michael Haneke is actually Austrian. Pointing this out is, on my part, nerdy and myopic. I acknowledge this. But there is some validity in it as I think Amour approaches the subject of love (and aging and death) in a distinctly un-French way, cinematically; more on this in a minute.

Perhaps more to the point, the movie opens after one of the two main characters has already died. That is, we first see her as a corpse. The narrative then jumps back many weeks to detail her gradually declining health. By my loose, shifting standards, death is one of the few concrete resolutions we can look forward to in life, much less in the movies. So there’s that.

What internal void or excess compels certain people to pop-off with ill-timed remarks in the least appropriate circumstances? Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but a theater, especially in the silence following a movie as thoughtprovoking and emotionally resonant as Amour, is for me a sacred space. When we’re in there, we should be granted the rare opportunity to quietly consider the effects art can have on us. Should be; seldom are.

My experience with the loud guy notwithstanding, Haneke’s latest is a challenging, delicate thing. Jean-Louis Trintignant and Emanuelle Riva play Georges and Anne, retired music teachers living the quiet life of an elderly Parisian married couple. But when Anne has a stroke, and

surgical treatment is unsuccessful, she returns home, insisting that Georges promise never to take her back to the hospital.

Their elegantly threadbare apartment thus becomes the setting for an unflinching but never undignified examination of love at the end of life.

Haneke eschews lyricism or visual poetry, instead filming his subjects with strikingly Teutonic precision. His camera avoids invasion and ugliness but unflinchingly shows us the stuff of day-to-day life in this scenario, with often troubling completeness. There’s no score or background music. The camera rarely moves, almost becoming a piece of furniture, in front of which the characters can live out the dramas of their life un-self-consciously.

This stylistic approach makes for tough going at more than a few points. For the most part (and also thanks to uncannily honest performances), it gives Amour the feel of a meticulously composed documentary. Haneke takes the time to tell the half of love stories we never see in movies — wherein a lifelong love affair boils down to the existential commitment at its center, where one of the lovers is forced by circumstance to watch the beloved become unrecognizable.

Tough stuff, and Haneke won’t let us look away. But his respect for his characters and their bond never wavers. So they retain their dignity, even in the most undignified of moments. For this attribute, for its simple visual beauty, for its truly unique narrative voice, Amour is a remarkable, challenging, unusual movie and an important work of art. PG13. 127m.

JACK THE GIANT SLAYER doesn’t depress me with any of its own faults, per se. The CGI is clunky, the story drags and the leads underwhelm, but all in all it’s no worse than the average early-in-the-year Hollywood release — except that it re-

portedly cost about $200 million to make.

What depresses me is how this and other recent fairytale retreads highlight the tremendous disconnect between creative people and the people with money.

Now more than ever, original content abounds. It’s become cool to write and tell stories, and thanks to the Internet everybody who does so can almost instantly exhibit it for an audience and almost as quickly get a reaction. Between YouTube, DIY indie films and television, it seems like we’re in the early stages of a low-rent Renaissance.

But for whatever reason, Hollywood seems to think there aren’t any new stories to tell. So we get lame, colorless retellings of centuries-old folktales that are too familiar to have any sort of resonance.

And to that group, Jack the Giant Slayer is the latest, unfortunate addition.

Long-suffering orphan Jack (Nicholas Hoult), tasked with selling his uncle’s horse and cart, instead ends up with a bag full of beans. Enter a princess (Eleanor Tomlinson) on the run from an arranged marriage. Before they can even develop a relationship, the beans have sprouted, and everybody has to deal with the prospect of an invasion by giants. I’d take the Disney version (1947) over this one every time. PG13. 114m.

Previews

OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL. In this big-budget, 3D Disney prequel, director Sam Raimi (The Evil Dead, SpiderMan) follows a cut-rate circus magician (James Franco) who gets whisked away to a far-off land with witches, munchkins and flying monkeys. Place could use a wizard!

PG. 127m.

DEAD MAN DOWN. Colin Farrell and Terrence Howard star in this action-thriller

from the guy who directed the original (Swedish) The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. The preview promises brooding slomo and stylized violence galore. R. 110m.

SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MAN. Academy Award winner for best documentary, this film explores the mysterious career of musician Rodriguez, who recorded an album in the ‘70s that flopped in the U.S. but found an audience in apartheid South Africa. But whither the man? PG13. 86m.

Continuing

21 AND OVER. The dudes who wrote The Hangover recycle the premise (drunken morons breaking stuff) with characters who are barely legal. R. 93m.

ARGO. Ben Affleck helms a thrilling and surprisingly funny account of the 1979-‘80 Iran hostage crisis — winner of Best Pic Oscar. R. 120m.

DARK SKIES. The suburban Barrett family witnesses a series of disturbing events because — wouldn’t you know it?

— they’re being targeted by an unimaginably terrifying force. PG13. 95m.

ESCAPE FROM PLANET EARTH. A nerdy, risk-averse alien must save his heroic astronaut brother in this poorly reviewed CGI cartoon comedy. PG. 89m.

A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD. Bruce Willis is back for the fifth time as wisecracking supercop John McClane, this time going to Russia to rescue his son. R. 98m.

IDENTITY THIEF. A long-suffering everyman (Jason Bateman) hunts down the crazed throat-puncher who stole his identity (Melissa McCarthy) in this “comedy.” R. 111m.

THE LAST EXORCISM PART 2. So, wait.

Are you telling me that the first Last Exorcism was really the second-to-last exorcism? That rascally devil! PG13. 98m.

PHANTOM. Ed Harris, David Duchovny and William Fitchner star in this Cold War-

era submarine suspense thriller. R. 97m.

SAFE HAVEN. Another sappy adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks romance novel (see A Walk to Remember, The Lucky One — or don’t). Staring Julianne Hough and Josh Duhamel. PG13. 113m.

SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK. Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence deliver Oscar-nominated performances (Jen won!), with a twist of mental instability, in this bipolar dramedy. R. 122m.

SNITCH. Dwayne Johnson stars in this action-thriller as a man who goes undercover with the DEA in order to save his son. PG13. 112m.

WARM BODIES. Teen rom-com based on the Bard’s Romeo and Juliet — with zombies. Nicholas Hoult and Teresa Palmer are R and Julie, the star-crossed lovers. PG13. 97m.

SPACE AXIS TIM EA XI S(

ne ou throw sto a stone up, it comes back down. How does it know to do so, Same absent little arrows in curvature! the air? Isaac Newton and Albert B ght liEinstein offeredS two very different answers, neither of which is easy to SPACE A XIS visualize.

In Newton’s version, two masses, 10 meters X to the Earth and stone, are attracted each other by the force of gravity, like an invisible rubber band (except the farther away the masses are from each other, the weaker, not stronger, the attraction).

Newton himself knew his theory was no more than a mathematical convenience, writing, “That gravity should be innate, inherent, and essential to matter, so that one body may act upon another, at a distance through a vacuum … is to me … an absurdity.”

Einstein replaced Newton’s “absurdity” with what might, at first blush, sound equally absurd: freely moving bodies, including light, moving in straight lines through “curved space.” Diagram 1 shows the paths taken by a stone and a ray of light from A to B close to Earth’s surface.

Both are curved, but they’re obviously very different. While the stone follows an arc, in this case 1.2 meters (about 4 feet) high, the light ray also follows a path, but one that deviates from a straight line by the merest fraction. So how can we possibly say they’re following the same path?

By taking note of the time difference: The stone takes one second to go from A to B, while light goes the same distance in a tiny fraction of a second.

Einstein employed the trick of measuring “seconds of time” in terms of “meters of distance” by multiplying “t” seconds by the constant “c”, the speed of light, 300,000,000 meters per second.

One second is then represented by 3x108 meters (i.e. 1 second x 3x108 meters/sec-

ond). So now we can create a truncated 3D representation of what’s going on, with two dimensions of space and one of time-asdistance, Diagram 2. (It’s truncated because the third spacial dimension isn’t shown.)

Here, the stone and light ray do exactly what they did in Diagram 1, but now we’ve added time axis y (going into the paper) to create a “spacetime” picture. In spacetime, stone and light start at point A, but (unlike in Diagram 1) they end up at very different points, BS and BL. While the ray of light travel time is just 10 meters (in our timeto-distance conversion — it’s really 3 x 108 seconds), the stone takes much longer, 3 x 108 meters (really 1 second).

Here’s the kicker: The two paths, stone and light, have the same degree of curvature! What curvature? That caused by the mass of the Earth. Instead of some mysterious Newtonian force, Einstein’s gravity is defined geometrically as curvature in which bodies “fall” along the shortest possible paths (geodesics).

So, is gravity really a force of attraction (per Newton) or is it really curvature in spacetime (per Einstein)? Who knows?

True, curvature explains why massless light, as well as massive bodies, travel along geodesics (“thinking” they’re going in straight lines). In this sense, conceptualizing gravity as spacetime curvature gives more accurate results than Newton’s invisible force. But so long as we’re stuck in our 3D bodies trying to picture 4D spacetime, we’re stuck in the land of metaphor, which isn’t a bad place to be, but it would sure be nice to actually see what Einstein was trying to tell us. l Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo.com) owes a profound debt to Dr. Paul Boynton of Washington State University for introducing him to these ideas, circa 1980.

Maya and Parker

Cody

Gina Velasquez and her husband, Jon, with Parker and Maya

“We love riding our scooters!”

Meet our neighbor Jon and Gina Velasquez met while attending a community college in Santa Rosa then again taking

classes at Humboldt State University. Jon’s degree is in wildlife management and Gina’s is general biology. They married and now they have two children, Parker and Maya, and of course, Cody their Miranda Rescue dog is a big part of their lives. “We love riding our scooters around the neighborhood, too,” says Gina. Maya and Gina wanted to learn about horses and they are first doing the hard work, mucking out stalls and grooming the horses. Gina is a native Californian from Ft. Bragg and Jon is from Santa Rosa and they are a family of campers and readers taking as many as 20 books out from the library in a month.

“I tried the discount shopping stores but I always came back to Murphy’s! When I lived in McKinleyville and worked in Bayside, I went to their Sunny Brae store. And now since we have moved, we shop at the Cutten store.

Our son Parker loves to push the child size grocery carts, it is a big hit with the kids. They just added a fresh salad and soup bar and the kids think the soup is great. Then on Wednesdays — we love it and the kids love it — the sushi bar! They make the sushi right there in front of you, the kids love to watch everything put into the wrap and then roll it up. Murphy’s has something for everyone! We shop here because Murphy’s is where friendly customer service is still alive!”
