Freedom for Dogs! Editor: Unleash some context please! “Unleashed” (March 7) seems willing to kick the hornet’s nest. People and their dogs is a touchy thing. Freedom can be found in one of its finest forms running on the beach. For some of us our freedom is lived vicariously through our dogs. Call it therapy if you want. That exercise of freedom runs a little contrary to control sometimes. That said, teaching ourselves and our dogs some discipline is very rewarding on a lot of levels. A well-behaved dog is a good reflection on its human. I would like to see some real data regarding the number of seals harmed by dogs locally and relate that to the number of seals that get killed or harassed by more “natural” means. Another big miss in this article is the effect that dogs have on local plovers. The actual nest failures that are due to human activity recorded in the local annual reports are extremely low and dogs even lower. Actually lower than all the rest of the “natural” nest terminations including windblown sand. A little context would be more genuine. The tired, over-flogged, nonsensical guilt trip surfaced once again blaming us for ravens hanging at the beach. Like they would leave if we would all just go away. I see them out there scavenging on washed up carcasses, not French fries and leftover Ding-Dongs. Our big mistake is still letting researchers lead these clever predators to the plover nests. So unless we are going to bubble wrap all these creatures and keep them alive at all costs (not exactly “natural”) let’s make sure we protect and enjoy these freedoms that encourage us to have a healthy interaction with our environment. And dude, don’t let your dog pee on someone’s picnic. Uri Driscoll, Arcata

Fair is Fair Editor: I was amazed at the in-depth article regarding the Fair Association Board and what appears to be its small town, petty attitude (“Ferndale Gothic,” Feb. 28). Regardless of who owns and publishes the Ferndale newspaper, the Fair Association Board should conduct its meetings professionally — according to the article, Ms. Cindy Olson feels threatened by using a digital recorder, the necessity to follow the rules of the Brown Act, and that that board members should not be “made to look bad” by being quoted/reported in the newspaper. Ms. Olson did indeed “look bad” by not want-

ing her photo taken and by protesting the aforementioned points. Meetings should be conducted quickly, accurately and professionally. Ms. Olson “doth protesteth too much.” With this kind of attitude, I submit Ms. Olson should be eliminated from the Fair Association Board and someone who isn’t afraid of doing a credible job should be brought in. It is only common sense. Further, if these meetings were conducted similar to business meetings, no one would be “fired” after 22 years of service without due process or a legitimate reason. None of this seems to have occurred, and I would suggest that perhaps Mr. Titus should retain a wrongful discharge attorney. After all, “fair is fair” — no pun intended. Audrey J. Chapman, Sonoma

Peace Officers Vital Editor: Here it is folks, here is the police state getting closer and closer to you/me/us. I refer to the editorial by Carrie Peyton Dahlberg, editor of the Journal, entitled “Good Cops Aren’t Afraid of Cameras” (Feb. 28). I would define a good cop as one who takes on the mantle of peace officer. Not someone who uses their authority to threaten the very people they have sworn to protect. I have heard Arcata Police Chief Tom Chapman describe himself as a peace officer, and I believe him. How many other officers can we count on to protect you/me/us from those who are doing us harm? If not protect us, at least don’t hit us over the head or shoot things at us when we are demonstrating to stop harm being done to the common man, woman, child, tree, whale or dolphin. Because we ARE going to have to stand shoulder to shoulder, us common, life-loving folk, to stop further destruction of all that we hold dear. We can see that now, can’t we? We are the ones who are here at this time to do so. Those of us who are willing to see what is going on and care enough to get in the way of it. We need what is left of our truth telling media to expose the lies and contradic-

tions we see all around us. Thank you, Carrie Peyton Dahlberg, for doing so. And we need genuine peace officers who behave like the people they have sworn themselves to be: protectors of you/me/us. Maureen Kane, Arcata

Goodale a Good Cop Editor: It is newsworthy anytime a reporter has trouble with law enforcement, especially when their article contains pictures, a timeline and features a local authority that many of us know and respect. I expect the matter between Officer Goodale and yourself to get straightened out over time, as the Journal and the EPD work together reviewing the facts. Having acknowledged that, I feel a responsibility to point out that Officer Goodale is a damn good cop. My brothers and I own and work in Mantova’s Two Street Music, Old Town’s music store. There we receive the brunt of Old Town’s ills: life-defeated bums, drug-riddled hobos, the mentally vacant and all the culture that comes with it. I’ve worked with Goodale on many occasions and have encountered nothing but professionalism and results. Eureka’s homeless epidemic isn’t going away anytime soon, continued on next page

continued from previous page but at least when I put in a call to Officer Goodale, I know that “the problem of the day” will get solved. Officer Goodale has been great for Old Town Eureka, and it would be a pity to lose him. Anthony Mantova, Eureka

Editor Just a Jerk? Editor: Thank you MSNBC, oh I mean the North Coast Journal for your enlightening portrayal of bullying, or should I say “bully pulpit.” (“Waiting for Answers,” March 7.) So you write, “Carrie pulled out her cell phone camera and went to work.” I can only imagine what was happening, and must have included perhaps a compromised book depository situation, or people were forced to double park, or the suspect was sitting in the police car without proper sun protection. I mean there had to be something right? And you know, thinking about Carrie, perhaps she’s just a real big jerk and the police were simply doing their jobs. But how is the public supposed to know anything but what your one-sided and subjective reporting and updates describe? Not content with reporting on the news, I guess you have to create it, comment on it, feed it, build it, etc. … (like most right wing or left wing nut jobs do so they can gain more audience share). Ever think to have an objective report comprised? Too much trouble? I’m likely to be looking forward to “Carrie and her Camera,” a new column in your rag, for years to come. Thank you in advance for that as well. Aaron Gottschalk, Bayside

Show Some Remorse Editor: I was very interested in Barry Evans’s

Cartoon by joel mielke

account of his Lost Coast misadventure (“The Fireball,” Feb. 21). I spent some wonderful and exciting years in the ’70s living fulltime near Honeydew, a parcel or two away from Peter Marshall. I have very fond memories of hiking, hunting and fishing in the King Range and on the beach. In those days you could spend a week or two and never see another person. What a playground for expression of my Neolithic, Neanderthal, Slavic heritage. A childhood dream come true. Something about the story nagged at me and I could not put my finger on it. Peter Marshall hit it exactly with his letter, “Fire Wasn’t Trivial” (March 7). Peter knows what he is talking about. I, too, have had nearly disastrous experiences with fire. If you seek a religious experience, try the feeling you get when the fire that got away from you, and is about to burn out you and your friends and neighbors, is miraculously extinguished. I still cringe to think about it. None of that from Mr. Evans. The piece has a sackcloth-and-ashes, Joe Btfsplk, can-you-believe-it aspect that is inappropriate. Mr. Evans is extremely lucky that neither he, his companion, nor other campers, nor the King Range or southern Humboldt County were consumed in a conflagration for which he would be held

responsible if he survived. In July??!! He is lucky that his insurance company paid his lucky, low-ball bill. A teeny, tiny, iota of culpability, remorse and gratitude would have prevented this otherwise great story from being an example of self-absorption and an exaggerated sense of entitlement. Timothy Crlenjak, Eureka

Don’t Be Transphobic Editor: We now have a new addition to the hollow class of liberals that so pervade the redwood curtain. Joining such classics as “The Patriarchy Hurts Men Too,” “I’m Not Homophobic; I Have A Gay Friend,” and “I Hate All Races Equally,” we have “One Man, One Penis!” Charlotte Stuart’s letter, “No Lady Parts? Hmmm” (March 7) on the article “Abortion Prayers Unfazed,” insists that Lance Madsen, one of our council members, should not be protesting because he doesn’t have “woman parts” or any professionalism to go with them. Here’s the short and the long of it: Women don’t necessarily have vaginas. Men and nonbinary people may. By equating vaginas and abortion rights to being a

woman, you are being transphobic, a word that here means “oppressing people who don’t live up to your limited expectations of gender and are committing the terrible crime of their anatomy.” This isn’t just an ideological thing, either. Trans men and nonbinary people are actively denied abortions for their gender, a fact which I sure hope you are dismayed about (and it’s the fault of you and our mutual friend Charlotte Stuart). When transphobia is so casually thrown about in a journal that totes itself as progressive, it makes me wonder what makes a liberal in Humboldt County and if it’s possible to test for the gene. Now, instead of being denied services for your gender not matching what’s on your birth certificate, we can openly discriminate against those bleedin’ hearts and their agenda. I, for one, am excited. Emily Carlson, Arcata

Taking Pictures in Public Some guidelines from an expert who has trained police chiefs nationwide

orth Coast Journal Editor Carrie Peyton Dahlberg talked with Mickey H. Osterreicher, general counsel for the National Press Photographers Association, about taking pictures in public. Here is a condensed version of that conversation. North Coast Journal: You trained police in Tampa and Charlotte before the Republican and Democratic conventions in 2012 and also in Chicago before the NATO Summit. What did you tell them about photography? Osterreicher: The key messages are that both the press and the public have a right to photograph and record police performing their official duties in public. Period. If you are in a public place and you can observe something, you can photograph and record it as well. You don’t need anyone’s permission. Either police learn and respect that right, or they will end up getting sued. And for the most part, in the cases I’m aware of, they lose. NCJ: What were the results of that training? Osterreicher: In Tampa and Charlotte, for the first time since 2000, we had no arrests of journalists at either political convention. What’s really important for police departments is that leadership come from the top. [The chiefs] were out on the street with their men and women, directing and supporting them. The police took that cue and behaved appropriately. In the 2008 conventions, we had a number of journalists arrested. Once those charges were dismissed, they brought federal civil rights lawsuits. It cost Denver and St. Paul $100,000 and $200,000. NCJ: So proper training saves the public money? Osterreicher: I look at it as a win-winwin. It’s win for the press. They don’t get harassed; they get to do their jobs. It’s a win for police. They’re upholding the Constitution and they don’t get sued. And it’s a win for the public because they get information. NCJ: What should police never tell a photographer? Osterreicher: “Because I said so.” It works for your mother. But for a police officer, there has to be some basis in law to order you to do something. When they

start making it up, that’s when they get in trouble. NCJ: What’s the legal basis for saying police can’t interfere with photography? Osterreicher: The First Amendment guarantees freedom of press and freedom of speech. You cannot have someone telling you that you can’t shoot pictures and gather news in a public place. It’s a prior restraint. As member of the public, it abridges your free speech rights, because photography and recording are acts of expression, and you have a right to free expression. The press may not have any greater right than the public, but they certainly have no less right. If you’re allowing the public to walk by, you can’t just because someone has a camera in their hand, treat them differently. That would be where the 14th Amendment applies. You can’t apply the law differently. If the public has access, then someone with a camera has access. NCJ: Are there any additional rights or restrictions under California law? Osterreicher: California law has a section which basically says that journalists are allowed to enter areas that are generally closed to the public during disasters. NCJ: What are some of the things that police can tell a photographer without violating anyone’s rights? Osterreicher: Police can certainly make polite requests. They can say, excuse me, those are undercover officers, we’d appreciate it if you don’t photograph them. Or the family hasn’t been notified yet, please don’t take pictures that would identify the victim. Or, I know you’re in a public place, but could you please move back a few feet for your own safety. And photographers don’t have carte blanche to walk through a crime scene. If police set up a perimeter, photographers have to stay back with the rest of the public. NCJ: Some commenters on our website have suggested that police or others in public have a privacy right, and can say no to pictures. What can you tell us about that? Osterreicher: I love this one. The Seventh Circuit addressed it in another case (ACLU v. Alvarez). It was just decided less than a year ago. In Illinois there was a law that you cannot record an officer without his permission and if you were convicted, you’d be subject to 15 years in jail.

The ACLU challenged that law and it was struck down. Here’s the distinction. When you’re out in public, you have no reasonable expectation of privacy. It’s what distinguishes public from private, which is the reason why there are surveillance cameras and we are recorded hundreds of times a day. It’s nonsense for anyone to come up to you and say you don’t have permission to take my picture and you have to stop. NCJ: We’ve also heard it said professional photographers know they aren’t supposed to take pictures of evidence. As someone who has worked as a professional photographer yourself, have you ever heard of that? Osterreicher: Not only have I never heard it, it’s probably one of the more absurd things I’ve ever heard. NCJ: Beyond the kind of in-person training that you provide, what other materials are available for police departments that might want to improve officers’ knowledge about photography rights? Osterreicher: I’ve got a compilation of model guidelines. But really, guidelines are one thing. After the guidelines you have to have training. And the third component of that is you have to have discipline. If officers violate the guidelines, and get a wink, nothing is going to change. NCJ: In that context, of the message needing to come from the top, the city of Eureka is about to begin a national search for a new police chief. What should this city be looking for in its next chief? Osterreicher: Somebody who, when the officer takes an oath to uphold the Constitution, not only says that when they’re sworn in but lives it every day. NCJ: What tips can you offer for police and the press to work together to ensure both public safety and the free flow of public information? Osterreicher: Have meetings. Sit down and talk about these issues. Don’t wait until the police are busy dealing with situations and the press is busy covering them. Do it before all of that happens, so there is a clear understanding and respect of what both the officers and the press do.

The Video Recording, Please W

e have heard from Eureka Police Chief Murl Harpham, and we appreciate his swift response to Editor Carrie Peyton Dahlberg’s complaint about being threatened with an arrest after she took photos in the Eureka Main Library parking lot. Harpham says there is a video recording of the incident, but so far it has not been made available to us. Giving us a copy of the recording will be a great next step toward correcting any errors on either side. Meanwhile, you should know that after reviewing the tape, the chief says his officers did identify themselves, said “please” right after saying “no taking pictures,” and made the arrest threat because they felt Carrie was too close, not because she was taking photos. Harpham concludes, “[T]here was no violation of the law or policy by any officer …” We respectfully disagree. Again, we are eager to obtain a copy of the recording, in its entirety, so we can fully understand the context and sequence of events. We understand the police and the district attorney are conferring on the legalities of releasing the tape. Meanwhile, there is some good news here. The chief acknowledges that his officers could have been more polite. There is also some troubling news. The chief implies that evidence cannot be photographed in a public place. That’s just plain wrong. Anything in a public place can be photographed, although officers can always request that certain shots not be taken. (See “From the Editor” Q&A on this page.) The chief has suggested that this is a training opportunity for his officers and for the media. We agree. The more we talk, the better. Let’s start with the recording, and then go from there.

n northern Finland, a grizzle-bearded man named Stäni Steinbock tells how, when he was a kid, somebody took an excavator to his beloved Oulu River, changing its course where it flowed past his grandmother’s summer house. “I remember being so angry I wanted to set that giant excavator on fire, but so stupid that I uttered my intentions out loud, and my Granny was adamant that I shouldn’t do that,” he writes on the International Rivers website. The nonprofit group’s interactive online “map of actions and stories” has other reminiscences like Steinbock’s, including some pure love stories with no identifiable wrongs detailed. But dozens of the links on the map lead to notices of actions planned all over the world to highlight rivers that have been damaged or dammed — or might be soon. Many actions will take place on the International Day of Action for Rivers and Against Dams on Thursday, March 14. In the Amazon, boater Rocky Contos raises the alarm about the Río Marañon, the main tributary to the Amazon River, upon which there are plans to build 20 hydroelectric dams.

In the Republic of Georgia, a group including residents facing displacement plans a protest against a proposed 702 megawatt hydroelectric dam on the Inguri River. In Muskrat Falls, northeast Canada, where two dams are proposed, Inuits and other folks will have a picnic on the frozen Grand River, with an Inuit drum circle and then a traditional Labrador sing-along to a piano accordion propped on the ice. And along our very own Klamath River, Karuk Tribal Council member Crispen McAllister will run 53 miles to pray for “safe passage for the salmon and all other life that thrives on the healthy flow of the Klamath River,” he writes on the International Rivers site. McAllister, joined by several others, will begin his run at 8:30 a.m. at Orleans Elementary School. The Klamath River has multiple dams. Four have been marked for removal — and the river basin for restoration — in dual agreements worked out by a coalition of farmers and fishermen, environmentalists and tribes, local and state governments. But the deal’s not done, not all river users are on board and some are chickening out.

McAllister, 29, did a much longer run last year — 232 miles, from Orleans to Yreka and back to Orleans. He hoped to motivate kids to exercise and live healthfully, he said recently by phone. Eight teens with the Karuk Youth Leadership Council joined him for 12 miles and the trip caught the attention of First Lady Michelle Obama, who invited the kids and McAllister to a conference last year on childhood obesity, in Washington, D.C. This time around, McAllister is running on State Route 96 again. He is the youngest on the Karuk Tribal Council— his term started in November 2010 — and he says his fellow councilmembers put him up to it. He will start at Bluff Creek, about eight miles south of Orleans. It is a place where stories abound (Karuk and Yurok stories, as well as contemporary Bigfoot stories), and McAllister said one of his mentors, the late Florence Conrad, had talked to him about beginning a run there someday. Bluff Creek also is thought to be the western border of Karuk ancestral territory (with Yurok land to the west). He’ll finish at Happy Camp. The official cause is for the river. But once again, McAllister said, he hopes his run — he is calling it a “spirit run” — will inspire others, especially kids, to do something positive for themselves and for the land and water that has sustained the tribe for centuries. Children from Junction School, in Somes Bar, plan to run a mile with him. Some kids from the Karuk Tribal Youth Council will join him again. And four young men from the local mixed-martial arts club, Pikshiip Fighters, plan to do the whole run with him. Running is very Karuk thing to do, McAllister said. “There is a long history of running in the tribe,” he said. “That was how we traveled and often communicated messages to each other.” His ancestors ran along the ridges of the rugged, steep mountains encasing the territory, and along trails by the river. Running also helped McAllister rise from the inactivity he settled into after he got out of the Navy, where he spent almost five years, including much of 2004 in Iraq. “It happens to quite a few people,” he said. “You get out of the service and, for some reason, you just shut down on the physical activity. And you start to feel all the impacts and injuries. And it’s just a job change — my life wasn’t as fast-paced anymore.” In Iraq, McAllister was stationed along the Euphrates River, where his battalion helped train the new Iraqi police. “I got to see the Euphrates every day,”

he said. “It is a beautiful river. Not like people think it is. Some of the stuff they put out in the news and movies — they miss a lot of things. The people there had trees and grass and water. It was like in my river community. It was beautiful. The people invited us in. You’re walking by, see a bunch of bullet holes in the side of their houses that wasn’t there the day before. You’d like to know what happened — so they’d invite us in to watch a soccer game with them while we talked about stuff going on in their neighborhood.” There were attacks daily, he said. McAllister, who was the sole medic for the battalion, went out with three different patrol squads each day, and was caught in several blasts from IEDs. One, buried in the hard clay, was so big it blew out windows of cars for three to four blocks, he said, and knocked him and others into walls. Later, he felt the impact. A shoulder dislocated on impact that had popped right back in. And concussive trauma to his brain, of the kind many soldiers experience in such blasts. He finished out his deployment and returned to the United States the day before his 21st birthday. He met his wife, Ashley, not long afterward, in Twentynine Palms where he was next stationed. She was a massage therapy and nutrition student. They moved to Arizona, where McAllister worked as a phlebotomist in hospitals in a couple of small cities. In 2007, after their first child was born, they moved to Weed, Calif. McAllister went to College of the Sikiyous for two years. They had their second child. And McAllister began reconnecting with his roots. He became involved in reviving the Karuk language. And he ran, uncontested, for the Yreka district seat on the tribal council. Their third child was born last September in Orleans. McAllister, who had delivered babies as a medic prior to his Iraq deployment, delivered the child at their new home in tribal housing on the river. “It was really fun,” he said. Even the military was fun, most of the time. He loved meeting other river people. Being a medic fulfilled his desire to help people. He returned, he said, like many combat veterans with “a sense of humor that most people can’t relate to or understand.” And then he entered politics with a desire to be the sort of leader who leads in a “progressive forward motion” — and by example. He wants his tribe to become self-sufficient, independent and economically stable, he said. One way is through ensuring that its traditional life-sustaining force, the Klamath River, remains healthy and fish-producing. l northcoastjournal.com • North Coast Journal • Thursday, March 14, 2013

Hungry in Blue Lake By Heidi Walters

heidiwalters@northcoastjournal.com

wo absurd chefs, clownishly attired in checks, plaids, stripes and large chefs hats, “made” soup, introducing the ingredients one by one. “The broth!” “The potato!” “The chicken!” These items were rushed and bumbled through two doors into the kitchen of the Mad River Grange in Blue Lake last Friday evening. All except for the chicken, a floppyfluffy-fake thing. It was trouble, and soon had Chef Jacob Trillo by the throat with its beak. He shrieked and reeled around. Chef Anthony Arnista hefted a large, real ax and swung it wildly and determinedly at the death-grip pair. Missed, of course — this was comedy, not drama. And the antics went on. Gardeners chased each other with shovel and rake. Carrots danced then sang a sad ballad. The crowd of roughly 75 hooted and laughed (although a few crept out, including one woman who said to her male companion, “It’s getting worse!”) Trillo and Arnista, third-year MFA students in the Dell’ Arte International School of Physical Theatre, interspersed skits and groaner food jokes with recorded interviews and live speakers. Their production, Voice of Hunger, was aimed at highlighting food issues in Blue Lake — that is, the folks apparently not getting enough healthful food out there for one reason or another, and the services and food sources available to them whether they know it or not. Wait a minute — just how many foodchallenged people are there in Blue Lake, population 1,200? There’s no hard figure. But, in a telephone interview days before the performance, Kim Rios, who coordinates services at the Blue Lake Community Resource Center, said the center’s emergency pantry gave out 54 bags of emergency food last month and about 60 “backpacks” for

kids. Rios said the people who get emergency food bags also get commodities once a month through Food For People; about 62 families are signed up for commodities in Blue Lake, she said. When that food runs out, they can get a little more from the community resources center, a nonprofit run by St. Joseph Hospital that connects people to everything from health care to counseling to groceries. “The emergency food is to get people through ‘til pay day,” Rios said. (In Trillo and Arnista’s performance, they make a sauce out of the things left over in some people’s commodity bags at the end of the month: a muffin, catsup, three bananas. …) Fifteen Blue Lake children are in the backpack program. Each Friday, they take home a paper bag with “enough food for breakfast, lunch and dinner for Saturday and Sunday, and snacks like granola bars and fresh fruit,” said Rios. In a pre-performance interview, Trillo, from Orange County, and Arnista, from Virginia, explained that as third-year students in the physical theatre program they are required to do at least one production that involves a community organization. They talked to farmers, people who distribute food and the people needing help getting it. They even went out with Meals on Wheels to talk to seniors. They call Blue Lake a “food desert” because the nearest grocery store is a couple miles away in Glendale, and the few eating establishments don’t take food stamps. And yet, there’s a food pantry in the middle of town that not everyone seems to know about, he and Trillo said. “We realized more and more how food insecurity affects everybody — and how Humboldt County is a really generous county,” Arnista said. “So now we’re trying to raise awareness that there is a food pantry in Blue Lake.” l northcoastjournal.com • North Coast Journal • Thursday, March 14, 2013

Wage Hike Proposal Headed to Eureka City Council

Inmate Suicide

Here’s a ray of hope for people working at Eureka’s Taco Bell. Or Wal-Mart. Or any other business in the city that pays workers as little as the law will tolerate: A petition to boost Eureka’s minimum wage to $12 an hour has received enough valid signatures to be presented to the City Council at its March 19 meeting. And if the council shoots it down, as proponents predict it will, the measure will be placed on next year’s ballot. Eureka City Clerk Pam Powell announced earlier today that the “Eureka Fair Wage Act” was signed by 1,635 qualified voters, easily clearing the threshold of 1,370 signatures (10 percent of the city’s voters in 2011) needed to be deemed legit. If the measure succeeds, it would give Eureka the highest minimum wage in the country by a fairly wide margin. The mark is currently held by San Francisco,

Forty-six-year-old Jose FernandezMoreno, the inmate found unconscious inside the Humboldt County jail last Friday, March 8, with a bed sheet tied around his neck, died yesterday at St. Joseph’s Hospital. The full sheriff’s news release is on our website. This is the second suicide (and second death) at the jail this year. On Jan. 17, a 56-year-old male inmate jumped to his death inside the housing unit. There were two in-custody deaths last year in the jail, says Sheriff’s Sgt. Duane Christian. One was deemed to be from medical complications; the other has not been declared yet, said Christian, because the coroner’s office has not released an official report yet. Since 2000, 16 inmates have died at the jail. ●

where the lowest wage is $10.24 per hour. Minimum wage in Eureka (and most of California) is $8 an hour. President Obama, in his State of the Union address, called for raising the federal minimum wage from $7.25/hour to $9/hour. ● CRIME / BY HEIDI WALTERS / MARCH 8, 12:48 P.M.

Jerks Stole Your Connection Well, you can’t very well blame Suddenlink for this one. Suddenlink users across the Humboldt land — or in Trinidad and the Eel River Valley, at least — suffered Internet outages today because, says the Sheriff’s Office, somebody cut and ran with the company’s fiber optic cables serving those areas. Apparently, the dirty dipper(s) cut and made off with 24-feet of fiber optic cable at the underground vault near Grizzly Bluff Road and Blue Slide Road in Ferndale at 12:17 a.m. About 1,000 customers lost service. Then they headed up to Trinidad, says the Humboldt County Sheriff’s news release: Approximately two hours later service on another Suddenlink Fiber Optic Cable was lost in the Trinidad area. When

Suddenlink repair crews arrived at the location of the damage on Scenic Drive, Trinidad, near the US 101 southbound onramp, they discovered that line had been cut. Approximately 950 customers were affected by the loss of that line. They don’t know who did it yet. But whoever they are, they’ll be responsible for about $10,000 in damages, at least. Plus, they’ll be felons. If you have any tips, call the Sheriff’s Office, 445-7251, or its crime tip line, 2682539. ● BUSINESS, EUREKA, HORSES / BY HEIDI WALTERS / MARCH 8, 7:59 A.M.

Old Town Carriage Sold These are the final days of a familiar pair — or pair of pairs — in Eureka. Marty L’Herault, he of the dapper hats and Old Town tales, has finally sold the Old Town Carriage Co. On March 25, he turns over the company, the horses, the rig and all the rest to the mysterious new guy who has bought the whole deal. No more Marty and Buster. No more Marty and Barney. Won’t the horses miss him? Nah, said L’Herault yesterday evening as the low sun dropped warm glow all over the red-brick

F Street Square and the resident pigeon flock conspired against shiny new-car paintjobs. “Barney,” he said, gesturing at mister white fuzz standing patiently in his traces, “only cares about the carrot.” To illustrate, he grabs a carrot from the big sack of carrots over by his carriagerides sign, and instantly the previously indifferent beast has eyes only for him. Turns big shaggy head to follow him — follow the hand with the carrot, rather — as L’Herault walks back and stands out of reach. Stares until finally the carrot comes closer. He’ll miss Barney and Buster, of course. But not enough to delay his plans any longer to pursue an acting career in New York City. He’s been plotting this for some time now, but had to sell the carriage company first. So, who is the new owner? L’Herault gets all friendly-cagey, says, “He’s perfect for the job.” Smart businessman, L’Herault wants the new guy — a fellow with a Liverpool accent and decades of carriage driving experience — to arrive with a flourish and tell his own story then. Well, why not wait? We could tell you more, but it’s more fun this way. L’Herault’s last day driving is March 24. He said some local folks have agreed to drive the carriage for weddings and occa-

sional Saturday events in April and May. And then the new owner will resume the Old Town Carriage rides in Old Town, “six days a week” all year long, after that. L’Herault said he’ll miss Humboldt, but plans to return at least once a year.

waveslope. His surfboard jutted out of the back end of the camper, and he was scrubbing wax off its front end. Jennifer Bell, meanwhile, was putting together a tiny camera with a bright orange float-block stuck to it. Michael McClymons and Ted Okell, nearby, readied their own camera equipment and discussed the operation. They tried attaching the tiny orange camera to the nowclean spot on the surfboard — excellent; it would catch the speeding water beneath the board, Lydgate’s feet, action. It was the sort of footage the film crew — friends from the digital media program at College of the Redwoods — needed to complete their documentary about surfer Scott Stephens, the great white shark that attacked him near this spot last October, and the people in the water and on the beach who rescued him. They saved Stephen’s life, according to the surgeon who pulled Stephen’ flesh back together in the emergency room. In fact, the documentary has become very much about Stephens’ rescuers, who acted so quickly and fearlessly, McClymons and Bell said. (A fourth member of the shoot, Robert Stoneman, was home sick today). Originally, the crew had come together because Stephens needed someone to help him film raw footage of him recounting the attack to give to the extreme-sport website Buddhasport.com, which had asked for it. First they filmed an interview of Stephens at Lost Coast Brew-

ery (where his shark-bit surfboard hangs on a wall). Then they started interviewing the people who rescued him. “And we realized, they’re the real story,” said McClymons. The crew isn’t ignoring the attack itself. For that part of the film, Okell, an artist, has drawn sketches of the attack as Stephens describes it: He’s just ridden another wave, it’s a fantastic day, and he’s paddling out for more. A shark grabs him. It pulls him under. It shakes him. He punches it in the nose. It lets go and, bleeding but staying calm, he swims to shore. Stephens’ voice will narrate over the sketched scenes, edited together into a vignette by McClymons. The film then recounts, through interviews, the derring-do of the folks who tried to swim toward him through shark- and blood-tainted water, the ones

on the beach who laid on him to stop his bleeding, who flagged down a pickup on the beach which hustled him to town, and the truck driver who called an ambulance to meet him there, and the emergency room crew who attended him. For today’s shoot, Lydgate, who was at Bunkers that day but far enough away he missed all the action, and Okell got in the truck and drove a bit closer to the jetty. The swell seemed better there. McClymons and Bell, on foot, met up with them. Lydgate stripped off his clothes and pulled on his wetsuit, then he and Okell attached the little camera — donated to the crew by GoPro — to the surfboard so its eye could record surfboard, feet and rushing water as Lydgate surfed. Then, while Okell filmed, Lydgate walked into the waves. ●

There will be a lot less music in the future at College of the Redwoods if the college administration follows through with plans for reductions in class offerings in its music department. Earlier today the Journal received a leaked copy of a memo sent by C.R.’s music department head Ed Macan to C.R. students and faculty at C.R. and Humboldt State University. Macan detailed changes in the music program that will affect most music classes. Courses including concert band, jazz ensemble, studio band and oratorio choir are shifting into the college’s Community Education program, which means students will not receive transferable credit if, for example, they transfer into the HSU music program. According to Paul DeMark, C.R.’s director of communications and marketing, the cuts are in part a response to budget restraints imposed by the state. “We also have a structural deficit here, which means we’re spending more on a variety of things than we’re taking in. That’s why we’re making these judicial cuts. “We’re facing a serious financial crisis here. We had layoffs last year. We’re still facing a $2 million deficit,” he said. DeMark said with less money coming in from the state and not enough coming in from enrollment, the college is focusing on courses in three areas: basic skills, career technical and coursework for academic transfer for those moving up the education ladder. “What we’re trying to do is based on

Pot Rules Mosey Along The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors decided yesterday to take its draft medical marijuana outdoor cultivation ordinance to the hills. The proposed ordinance would require outdoor medical pot farms to be registered with the county public health branch and to follow certain rules — or be considered a nuisance. Farms would have to register once a year; prove that all the buildings on the farm are permitted; show where the water for the plants will come from, how much of it will be used and whether the farmer has the right to it; and prove that no illegal chemicals are going to be used on the plants. The draft— which you can read on the board’s website — notes some registration method alternatives, including one in which the information that a permit applicant gives the county would be returned to the applicant and not kept by the county.

Block Busters Those surfers! Another beach disaster was averted the other day after Humboldt Surfrider member Bill Lydgate spread the alarm that one of those giant, shellencrusted concrete-encased styrofoam blocks — they come from floating docks — had washed ashore and was breaking apart on the beach near Bunker Road on the North Jetty. Wrote Lydgate in his Feb. 28 email blast: “Yesterday, the block was intact. During the high tide and 12’ swell last night, the block cracked open and has started to spew polystyrene. … The block is approxi-

mately 10’ x 8’ x 3’ so there may be 9 cubic yards of styrofoam.” If the block didn’t float away in the next high tide that night, he wrote, maybe a bunch of people could go out and wrestle it in and take it away. March 1, the Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District got a volunteer ‘dozer operator out there who hauled the thing to the parking lot. Surfrider members cleaned up the foamscattered beach. Dan Berman, director of conservation for the harbor district, said the blocks are likely from old docks within Humboldt Bay. This was a rare one that made it to a beach outside the harbor entrance, he said. “There’s 21 of these things in Humboldt Bay that we need to clean up,” he said. “There’s some on the shore at Indian Island, where the Wiyot Tribe is doing cleanup. A number around the bay are either washed up on the shoreline or half buried in the sand or mud.”

The Wiyot Tribe and the district are seeking a grant to do the work. Why are they a problem? Well, the trash factor — a big mess of foam all over the beach and water. And who’d want to run a boat into one of those things bobbing around waterlogged and unseen just beneath the surface? The roughly 2,000-pound block taken in last week will end up at the Redwood Marine Terminal, where the district has been stockpiling stray dock blocks until their next purpose is discovered. In the past, Kernen Construction, based in Arcata, has taken blocks and recycled them, said Berman. ●

This set-up might avert the sort of troubles seen in Mendocino County, which tried a permit program — then stopped it after the feds made threats — and now is fending off U.S. Justice Department efforts to secure the information growers had given the county when they registered their farms. As noted in a report on yesterday’s board meeting in the Times-Standard today, Humboldt’s staff is patterning the ordinance after a so-far more successful one passed in Tehama County. The T-S reports that the board decided to have staff set up several public meetings in rural Humboldt, south end and east side, for more ordinance talk. Over at the LoCO, Kym Kemp wrote an excellent piece on the draft ordinance and had several folks invested in the topic weigh in. ●

reallocating resources to areas where classes are in demand,” he said, for example, speech, math, English and biology. Regarding the pending cuts, DeMark said, “It’s not just music. There are other areas.” DeMark said a press release was in the works laying out C.R. President Kathryn G. Smith’s views on the subject. In the meantime, on our website, you’ll find the memo sent out by Ed Macan.

Beasts and Children What you might not know about PETA’s youth outreach — and all the dogs and cats PETA kills By Carrie Peyton Dahlberg

t’s tough being the only vegan in fifth grade, maybe even the only vegan in all of St. Bernard’s Catholic School. Your friends keep talking about the yummy stuff they’re eating, and ask why you’d want to give that up. They’re not trying to be mean; they really don’t get it. But when you want to tell them about all the awful things farm animals go through, it feels so complicated sometimes that you fall back on “It’s gross.” Eating meat is just gross. You know that for sure. You have ever since you asked your mom what Charlotte was trying to save Wilbur from, and she told you it was from being eaten. You aren’t going to eat Wilbur — not Some Pig. Not any meat at all. Not eggs, or milk, or honey. So you pet your cats and volunteer at Miranda’s Rescue. And something in you does a happy little leap when a friend switches from chicken to PB&J at lunch. And you read the e-news from PETA Kids, with the stories about kids who make a difference, and people on TV who are vegan, and why having classroom pets is cruel. “She gets to see that there are other kids like her,” said Christina Lewis, mom to the sparkling burst of 11-year-old enthusiasm that is Adara Lewis. “She gets to see that she’s not alone.” Lewis got pulled into veganism by her daughter, first reading up to make sure she could raise a healthy child

without any animal products, then learning more about factory farms, and only later eschewing meat herself. As to PETA — People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals — well, there are nuances. “There’s always a place for the aggressive person who wants to make change,” she said thoughtfully, as her daughter filled bird feeders on their deck. “They’re a little too graphic for me.” Lewis was still in her scrubs this late February afternoon, just home from a surgeon’s office in Eureka, where she works as a vascular ultrasound tech. She chatted beside the planters that have held summer and winter crops, most recently chard, carrots and kolrabi. Last summer Adara tended her own personal strawberry patch on this deck, which overlooks a grassy gorge in one of those hidden Eureka nooks that still look like country. Her mother paused again, still pondering PETA. “Everybody has their own path. I try not to be judgmental.” Whatever other concerns she might have, Lewis is certain that PETA’s youth branch has been wonderful for Adara, who can immerse herself in games and stickers and stories, tips about what to say to the other kids, and fun booklets like “The Kid’s PETA Guide to Helping Animals.” Then there was that Cutest Vegan Kid contest. It seemed perfect, Lewis said, because, really, every kid is cute. The contest was open to both boys and girls, and it was mostly about passion and commitment and how many supporters each contestant could recruit to vote on the PETA Kids website. Adara remembered talking to her mother about entering. “She asked me if I wanted to do it, and I said, ‘Of course,’ because I love being a vegan.” Here, Adara grinned and framed her chin with both hands before finishing, “And I love being cute.” The “cute” came out extra high and sweet, in a semi-self-parody that said “you know and I know how silly and adorable this is all at the same time.” In between gymnastics and jujitsu, in between loving reading and math, Adara knows how to work cute. The PETA people spotted that right off. Around 120 entries came in from all over the country, and Adara was named one of just 10 finalists nationwide. If she’d won, she would have gotten to appear in online ads on PETA sites. It turned out that the honors went instead to 6-year-

old Vaughn Anderson of Fairfield, Iowa, and Ciera Leughmyers, age 5, of Columbia City, Ind. Both will get what PETA calls a prize pack and a chance to appear in a PETA Kids advertisement. And both, when they get a little older, will be able to read up on PETA. Maybe by then, PETA won’t be euthanizing more than 90 percent of the cats and dogs it accepts in Virginia. (More than 1,600 of the 1,800 it took in last year alone.) Maybe by then, the long and bitter battle between two groups of animal lovers — PETA and the proponents of “no-kill” animal shelters — will be over.

People for the Ethical

Treatment of Animals began its climb to fame in the early 1980s, when one of its co-founders went undercover in an animal research lab, igniting a firestorm that helped lead to changes in federal law. Headlines have followed ever since. Compared with the older and far more staid organizations that advocate on animals’ behalf, PETA has staked out the edgiest ground, deliberately provocative and sometimes just this side of legal. “We are complete press sluts,” cofounder Ingrid Newkirk said in a 2003 profile in The New Yorker magazine. “It is our obligation. We would be worthless if we were just polite and didn’t make any waves.” From PETA over the years have come the naked models scorning fur, the Holocaust on a plate, the aproned woman taking a bloody knife to a bunny rabbit under the headline “Your Mommy Kills Animals.” PETA wishes that no one would wear wool or keep a bird in a cage. In a perfect world, its website says, no one would ever have domesticated any animal at all, not even dogs or cats. “This selfish desire to possess animals and receive love from them causes immeasurable suffering,” the group’s website says, because people manipulate pets’ breeding, give them away casually and deprive them of natural behaviors. “They are restricted to human homes, where they must obey commands

and can only eat, drink and even urinate when humans allow them to.” Newkirk has even opposed seeing eye dogs because they live “as servants,” according to the New Yorker profile. PETA takes on zoos and circuses and marine parks, sheep shearing and bee keeping. It declines to condemn lawbreaking that lessens animal suffering, as long as no one is hurt in the process. It says that feeding or spaying feral cats is morally acceptable only in the rarest of circumstances; otherwise it’s better to kill them humanely. And yet, over the years, from PETA have come the vivid exposes of chilling cruelty in slaughterhouses, farms and dairies, stories so compelling that they have helped influence even meat-eating moderates. Nearly two-thirds of California voters backed a ballot measure in 2008 that required keepers of farm animals to give them room to lie down, stand up, turn freely and fully extend their limbs or wings. The vote came despite bleak predictions, all the more compelling during an economic tailspin, that the requirement would raise food prices. Would that have happened without PETA? No one can say for sure. What is certain is that while PETA has campaigned to make life better for fish and birds and farm animals, it has also been killing cats and dogs. In 2005, two PETA employees made repeated trips to a dumpster behind continued on next page

continued from previous page a Piggly Wiggly supermarket in North Carolina, each time to toss in plastic bags full of dead dogs and cats. At the trial that followed, a veterinarian testified that he had given a healthy mother cat and two kittens to PETA workers who said they would find them a home. Instead, they were swiftly euthanized in a mobile van and dropped in a dumpster. In Friendly Fire, a book that examines the ways that animal advocates have failed the no-kill shelter movement, author Nathan Winograd writes that PETA simply lies when it claims that it kills only irredeemably ill animals. “It is a lie because rescue groups and individuals have come forward stating that the animals they gave PETA were healthy and adoptable. … It is a lie because Virginia shelters as a whole are saving 56 percent of the animals they take in, and many of those are doing so without even really trying. … It is a lie because PETA refuses to provide its criteria for making the determination as to whether or not an animal is ‘unadoptable.’” At its headquarters in Norfolk, Va., the only place nationwide where PETA is required to report publicly on its euthanasia activities, PETA accepts animals surrendered by the public. Because it is registered with the state as an animal shelter, it can dispose of them as it sees fit. For years, it has killed most of them, according to numbers it reports to the state. Compared to past practices, 2012 was a slightly better year for pets that came into its hands. PETA took in 1,843 dogs and cats — and euthanized 1,647 of

them. It placed 19 in adoptive homes. It gave 130 to other facilities in Virginia. None of this has been a secret. A scathing episode of Penn and Teller’s “Bullshit” took on PETA in 2004. Last year, the Atlantic headlined one piece “PETA’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad History of Killing Animals.” But PETA has long gotten some cover from its wealthy enemies. Pharmaceutical firms. Big agriculture. Food conglomerates. People who set up pseudo “consumer” groups like The Center for Consumer Freedom, which, by the way, runs a website named petakillsanimals.com. It is easy to imagine that the whole thing must be a frame up by huge corporations protecting their bottom line. On top of that, PETA accomplishes so much good for so many animals that the details have long had trouble gaining traction. At a North Coast Journal planning meeting a few weeks ago, only half of those in the room had heard about the

established a good-sized outpost a year or so ago. She estimates around 50 people work there, doing marketing and media outreach, often in the company of their own cats and dogs. PETA actually has two different youth operations, each with its own website, aimed at different age groups, PETA Kids for the little ones, and peta2 for those 12 and up. For the older group, says Leal, “We have games, we have tips, we have recipes, things they can do with their families to get involved.” For younger children, “We have free stickers, comic books, coloring books.” The bonds between children and PETA are natural ones to forge, she says, because the horrors of the food industry are so pronounced. “Piglets have their tails ripped off without any pain killers; chickens and turkeys have their throats slit while they’re still conscious; fish are suffocated and cut

killings. Some animal advocates in Humboldt who belong to PETA or send money to PETA didn’t know about its euthanasia practices until a Journal writer called them. Who could expect little kids who just want to be the cutest vegan to know? Such children, said Winograd in a telephone interview, are “a living, breathing embodiment of love. Don’t we owe them the truth?”

It is a thought

long attributed to Jesuits: Give us a child until age 7, and we will give you the adult. That’s even easier when the child is already primed to embrace the message. Annie Leal, who is a street team coordinator with peta2, the youth division for PETA, puts it this way: “Kids love animals. Any kid you talk to will say they love animals and they want to make a difference. Sites like PETA Kids allow them to make a difference and speak up.” Leal works in Los Angeles, where PETA

PETA has run a cutest kid contest for the past six years, although this is the first time that entrants have been limited to vegans instead of the broader pool of vegetarians. “It’s an amazing way to spread the word,” says Leal, partly because the selection process includes encouraging friends and relatives to go on PETA websites to vote. More votes can help a child win. And all those voters are more hearts and minds, ready to be won by PETA. “So many people who go onto the site to vote stay there and learn about the ways animals are treated on factory farms and how they can stop it by going vegan,” says Leal, her voice bubbling happily through the phone. There are unquestionably some great messages about animals that go out to little children through PETA, said Douglas Anthony Cooper, an author of both children’s books and novels aimed at grownups. Then there’s the rest. “Part of it is absolutely nauseating,” said Cooper, who last year wrote a Huffington Post piece headlined “PETA’s Death Cult.” “It’s all propaganda. It’s an attempt to get kids before they’re capable of reasoning their way through this. And it’s true of teenagers. The interns they get are bright and bushy tailed.” They don’t go to PETA anticipating that they’ll have to advocate killing animals. But they learn, he said. Leal has learned. Most of the animals that come in

to PETA, she said, “are completely sick. They really can’t recover or they don’t have a home to go to. The best thing we can do for them is to try to end their suffering as fast as possible and as painlessly as possible.” At PETA headquarters in Virginia, “we really don’t have the space to take in as many animals as needed, and throwing them back out on the street is just not an option.” What about partnering with rescue groups or no-kill shelters? “The problem with no-kill shelters is they take in so many animals it actually can become a hoarding situation,” she says. It’s better to spay and neuter, she says, and to stop all breeding of dogs and cats, which only increases the number of animals that could suffer from maltreatment. Eventually, after we ask when PETA co-founder Newkirk had stopped comparing the owner-pet relationship to the master-slave relationship, we’re handed off to Ashley Byrne, a campaign specialist for PETA based in New York City. “That’s a misconception,” she says at first. “It’s never been our stance that people should not adopt homeless animals.” Later, she acknowledges that yes, Newkirk has said that sort of thing. “She’s made that comparison to help people understand some of our problems with the pet trade, with breeding and selling animals,” says Byrne. “As long as animals are being bought and treated as commodities, it’s going to be harmful to them.” PETA does pick up abandoned or maltreated pets, Byrne says, and “we’re euthanizing animals that have no place to go.” But surely, after collecting more than $30 million in donations in 2012, continued on next page

wouldn’t PETA have the resources to find homes for animals with no place to go? “The problem is, the homes are not there. The overpopulation problem is stunning, it’s horrifying,” she says.

THE FARMERS’ MARKET WITH REDVENTURE GARNISH PHOTO BY AMY STEWART

Drink Your Celery By Amy Stewart

amystewart@northcoastjournal.com

t’s not quite time to put in a vegetable garden yet — it’s too cold for tomatoes and peppers and all that — but if the weather’s nice and you’re just itching to get something in the ground, I’ve got three interesting, cocktail-friendly plants for you. Strawberries. The trick with strawberries is to plant them in a vertical planter or hanging basket so the berries are more or less suspended in the air, not turning to mush on the ground. I turned an old wooden medicine cabinet into a vertical planter last year by knocking out the mirror and replacing it with chicken wire, then drilling holes in the top, bottom, and back for drainage and air circulation. I placed it on its back and filled it with potting soil enriched with coco fiber. (Ask at the garden center for a potting soil with coco fiber designed for hanging baskets — it holds much more water, which you’ll want in a vertical planter.) With the chicken

wire-framed door closed, I planted strawberries into the container, watered it, and let it get rooted for a couple of weeks before mounting it on a fence with L-brackets. Once established, it just needs to be watered through holes drilled in the top or by gently spraying it head-on with the hose. The strawberries to get are everbearing alpine strawberries, Fragaria vesca, which put out small, tart berries over a long season. (Actually, there are no bad strawberries to get. Try a bunch and you’ll figure out which ones you like best.) I particularly like “Golden Alexandria” for its lime green foliage, and “Tristan Day” for its unusual pink flowers. (The fruit’s not bad, either.) They need at least six hours of sun and protection from hard frosts. Give them regular water and rich, organic compost. I feed all container plants with kelp meal and fish emulsion throughout the growing

season; a little of that couldn’t hurt either. Strawberry plants don’t live forever. Expect to get five years out of them, and that’s only if you renew them every spring by pulling off brown leaves, snipping back runners, and generally trimming the whole thing so that new vegetation sprouts from the crowns. But once you’ve got a regular crop of strawberries going, cocktail hour takes care of itself. Smash them into rum, drop them in prosecco — you get the idea. Mexican Sour Gherkin Cucumber. This is not actually a cucumber. It’s a close relative, Melothria scabra, native to Central America and Mexico, with a bright, tart flavor a bit bolder than a cucumber — but the flavor isn’t the only reason to grow this one. The fruit is only the size of a grape, resembling miniature watermelons with a mottled green and white skin. It’s the perfect size for a drink garnish. Look for them in garden centers; if you can’t find them, grow them from seed. They’ll get up and running quickly, they’ll tolerate cold better than a regular cucumber, and they’ll produce loads of fruit all season long. Just be sure to give them wire or a trellis to climb — they can reach 10 feet tall, and will produce more fruit than you know what to do with. That’s okay, because your friends will all happily take the surplus. Just give them sun, rich soil and regular water, then stand back. Celery. If you’ve never grown celery, this is the year you’re going to start. It would never have occurred to me to plant celery in my garden, but someone gave me a few starts, so what choice did I have?

I happened to have a good spot for them: I put them near the kitchen door where they get rich, moist soil and about a half day of shade. The celery thrived, and I found out that I’d been crazy not to grow it before. I used it in everything: soups, salads, all kinds of dishes that could be improved by celery if only I had some on hand. And, of course, I used it in drinks. The celery to grow is “Redventure,” a cross between an heirloom strain called “Giant Red” and a popular commercial variety called “Ventura.” Crossing those two resulted in a celery with slender red stems about the diameter of a pencil — perfect for swizzle sticks. And it has a rich, strong celery flavor that’s bold enough for cocktails. You can easily start it from seed, but I’d spring for a six-pack of it so you can start using it right away. Just give it rich soil, plan on watering it about once a week when it’s not raining, and give it some shade. “Redventure” will continually produce new stalks all season long, but in the second year it will want to push up a central stalk and set seed. You can try cutting the stalk down, but the plant will win in the end and put all its energy into reproducing. Use the slender stalks as a garnish in a Bloody Mary, or muddle them with vodka in any kind of spicy, savory cocktail like this one. It calls for tomatoes, which aren’t at all in season — but those greenhousegrown cherry tomatoes that are available in grocery stores year-round are actually a pretty nice treat right about now. Give it a try:

The Farmers’ Market Ingredients:

1.5 oz. vodka 2-3 Mexican Sour Gherkin cucumbers 1-2 stalks “Redventure” celery 2-3 sprigs cilantro 2-3 slices small spicy or mild peppers 6 cherry tomatoes or 1-2 slices large tomato Dash of Worcestershire sauce (try Annie’s for a vegetarian version) 3-4 oz. Q or Fever Tree tonic water

Method:

Reserve a celery stalk, cherry tomato or cucumber for garnish. Combine all ingredients except the tonic water in a cocktail shaker and gently crush the vegetables and herbs, making sure to release the tomato juice. Shake with ice and strain into a tumbler filled with ice. Top with tonic water and add garnish.

After more than 100 productions involving well over 1,000 performers, it still is. “The goals from the beginning were to provide opportunities for people in the community to perform and explore musical theatre,” Ryder said, “and to provide the community with a company that’s dedicated to performing only musical theatre.” The anniversary concert featured songs from HLOC shows of the past five years, from its fifth production of The Pirates of Penzance to the North Coast premiere of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. The show previewed songs from HLOC’s forthcoming summer production, Shrek The Musical. “It’s going to be a huge challenge,” Ryder said. “We have to build a 25 foot singing dragon. But because we’ve had a great design and production team for so long, led by Jayson Mohatt, I know we’ll do it.” Also performing were representatives of two auxiliary groups —the women’s

he was a Humboldt State political science major who took a voice class on a dare. She sang in public for the first time in Amahl and the Night Visitors, the first show produced by the Humboldt Light Opera Company. It was December 1973. Now voice teacher Carol McWhorter Ryder runs the company, and she was the artistic director of This Is Our Story, the show celebrating HLOC’s 40th anniversary in a packed Van Duzer Theatre at HSU last Saturday. “A lot of us didn’t have that much music in our lives when we were younger,” she said in an interview as the company rehearsed. “When we explore that as an adult, we find a passion we didn’t know was there. It changes your life tremendously.” She credits Jim Stanard, her HSU voice teacher, with inspiration that went beyond music. “He was an amazing mentor, not only vocally but in his feelings about the community and the role of arts organizations in the community.” Stanard, along with director Francine Peterson and con-

chorus known as The Babes, begun 20 years ago, and KidCo, the training and performance company for children, formed in 1998. With four voice teachers currently in the company, HLOC emphasizes training. But this anniversary was clouded by the news that College of the Redwoods is about to reduce its music and theatre programs to almost nothing, beginning this May. “Probably 80 percent of our company’s young people have gone to CR,” Ryder said. “Closing these CR programs is going to hurt us and all the local theatres, and the whole community.” To emphasize this, performers who’d gone to CR filled the anniversary show stage just before intermission to ask audience members to petition the administration. One example Ryder noted in the interview was James Gadd, a lead in several HLOC shows and a soloist Saturday night, who had never considered singing “until he walked into a voice class at CR. He’s amazing now. He never would have felt he could sing except for CR. And that man needs to sing.” Besides Gadd, soloists for the anniversary show included Brad Curtis, Lela Annotto-Pemberton, Tyler Rich, Molly Severdia, Kevin Richards, Fiona Ryder, Katri Pitts, Bill Ryder, Melissa Trauth, Larry Pitts and the singer who will play Shrek, Tristin Roberts. There were duos and trios and larger groups, and 50 munchkins from KidCo singing songs from The Wizard of Oz. Led by HLOC’s orchestra conductor Justin Sousa, a final chorus of at least 60 adults and nearly that many children reprised the evening’s theme song from the upcoming Shrek: “This Is Our Story,” with the lines, “You are us/we are you/ this is our story.” The first solo number in the show, sung by (former CR student) Essie Canty Bertain, was from Little Women, about how the young writer Jo wants to be “Astonishing.” A few hours before this performance I listened to visiting New York director Samuel Buggeln talk to HSU theatre students about working in New York and Los Angeles, where intense competition along with the vagaries of show business mean that few actors get opportunities. But as the HLCO anniversary show should remind us, an audience somewhere in Humboldt on any given weekend may see and hear someone be astonishing.

Along with advertising displays festooned with shamrocks and leprechauns, we have glasses of green beer, corned beef and cabbage — and parties galore. Among them, a “Wild Irish Barn Dance” Saturday night at the Arcata Veteran’s Hall, sponsored by the Humboldt Folklife Society. Dance coordinator/caller Sue Moon is not Irish — she’s from Dorset in South West England — but, she says, “My mum’s a Celt,” with Scottish blood, and she loves Irish music. “I grew up with a mother who called back home for English and Scotch country dances. In the summer we would go to country houses and dance on the beautifully manicured lawns. I’m pretty sure it was a long-held tradition, like the peasants being allowed to dance on the lord’s lawn.” Since the dance is on St. Patrick’s Day Eve, she’ll be calling “specifically céilidh dances” — céilidh being an Irish form of social dance, not unlike the English country dances she usually features at barn dances. “There are so many forms of Irish dance — this one has to do with patterns,” and definitely should not be confused with Irish step dancing. “Everyone’s seen Riverdance and think they’ll

have to do funny footwork. This is easy, and doesn’t require experience.” Matthew Marshall will call a few dances to give Moon a break. The music, all Irish tunes, will be provided by fiddler Blake Ritter with his former teacher Sam McNeil on piano, guitar and fiddle. “Blake’s fiddling is the star of the show,” says Moon. “Even if you don’t like to dance, it’s worth coming to hear his power fiddling. Sometimes I’ll have him play 20, 25 minutes non-stop. He’s technically brilliant, but he’s also developed a soulful way of playing.” Equally soulful: the local trad Celtic band The Drones, who reassembled late last year for a session/wake for departed Drone Charlie Rudd. “We’ve been enjoying playing tunes together again after nine years,” says George Ziminski. The band is kicking off St. Pat’s weekend Friday evening with some tunes at Café Mokka. You’ll find many of the same players Sunday at the third annual St. Patrick’s Day Bash at Robert Goodman Winery, with an Irish session, more soulful fiddling by Blake Ritter (around 7 p.m.), the Emerald Coast Irish Dancers (9 p.m.) and Drone-ish Irish jamming until midnight. Gallagher’s Irish Pub celebrates Sunday with Seabury Gould and friends (3 p.m.) followed by Humboldt’s favorite Celtic quartet Good Company (6-9 p.m.).

The Knights of Columbus’ Shenanigans Celebration Sunday afternoon at the Fortuna River Lodge includes step-dancing by the Emerald Coast Irish Dancers, a silent auction and a “pot-o-gold” drawing. The Logger Bar is celebrating the green Sunday with free corned beef and cabbage and music all day, including fiddler Colin Vance (3 p.m.), The Rat’s from The Black Brewery (5 p.m.) and The Vanishing Pints, a rockin’ Irish-ish combo that draws equal inspiration from the Clancy Brothers and The Pogues. Over at Mad River Brewery Taproom, the local Quebecois quartet Mon Petite Chou celebrates the French Canadian Irish (with Sue Moon on concertina). Pressure Anya is at the Pearl Lounge Saturday and Sunday for a St. Patrick’s Day weekend run. “We’ll be spinning dance mixes of tropical bass and hip hop — and some Irish-inspired tunes for good measure, and good luck,” says Gabe. Also on Sunday, St. Paddy’s Day, but with no apparent connection to the Irish: Naive Melodies doing its Talking Heads thing at Humboldt Brews. There’s also a laser-powered “St. Patrick’s Day Dance Party” at Nocturnum with RazleDazle, Snoflake and DJ Fx. Deep Groove Society’s Sundaze goes all vinyl for St. P. with DGS’ resident DJs and special guest Mr. E.W. Perhaps you’d prefer the hip hopthemed St. Patty’s Day at the Red Fox with LuckyIam Equipto, Mike Marshall, Z-Man and DJ True Justice, among others. And there’s another all-day Moonstone Performance Outreach Music Festival at Trinidad Town Hall, including an open mic plus Jerry Thompson on grand piano, Ashanan, Tripwire and Eclectica. Anaïs Mitchell and Jefferson Hamer play Sunday at the Arcata Playhouse. While the songs from their latest album, Child Ballads, come from the British Isles, the origins are Scottish and English, not Irish. And despite the name, they’re not for kids: They come from a collection of often-twisted ballads, tales of incest and murder from the 17th and 18th centuries collected by American folklorist Francis James Child in the late 1800s. Mitchell is a songwriter in her own right, winner of the “New Folk” award at Kerrville awhile back. Hamer is an experienced sideman who, among other things, spent a few years in Vince Herman’s Great American Taxi. Extra added bonus: an opening set by Frank Fairfield, a truly amazing fiddler, banjo/ guitar picker and hollerer who sounds like he stepped out of a time machine. “A good song has a way of speaking to everybody,” says ace banjo/guitar picker Danny Barnes. “I have faith that more people are going to hear my songs, which is really what I have to offer. I’m not one of those virtuoso instrumentalists. I can’t compete with those guys, but the one thing I can do is write really good

songs.” The humble Barnes may not be a virtuoso, but he’s a damn good player — and extremely influential. He founded the alt. country band Bad Livers in 1990; Paul Leary from the Butthole Surfers produced the Livers’ first record, inspiring countless young punks with banjos. At the turn of the millennium Barnes relocated to Washington State, where he teamed up with guitarist Bill Frisell among others, merging country and bluegrass with jazz in a trio called The Willies. More recently, he showed up backing Dave Matthews on Herbie Hancock’s The Imagine Project, a collection of Beatles tunes. Barnes is currently on the road with mandolinist and multi-instrumentalist Matt Sircely of Hot Club Sandwich and New Forge. Barnes and Sircely are both truly fine songwriters; give ‘em a listen Thursday at Humboldt Brews. Remember EDM by the numbers? Sound Culture 003 brings together Psy-Fi, iBeat, DAT-1 and Treemeista at the Jambalaya Thursday night. Kulica is back in action with a Friday evening show at The Mad River Brewery Taproom. The band still has guitarist Curtis Thompson out front with his wife Julie on bass and John Severn on sax; new additions are Tim Randles on keys and Tim Gray on drums. Groove on. Six DJs (Mat ‘n’ Adam, Mantease, King Maxwell, JayMorg and Tanasa take you on a strange erotic journey from Milan to Minsk in Missing Link Soul Night 17, Saturday at Humboldt Brews. (They’ll also be celebrating JayMorg and Tanasa’s b-days.) Saturday at Five Eleven, acclaimed alt. rockers Strix Vega are joined by “high energy, queercore, extraterrestrial, melodic punk trio” Space Biscuit and Blues for Carl Sagan, a one-man “Velvet Floyd acid boogie” machine powered by FX pedals and looping devices. Meanwhile at the Logger Bar, Portland’s “Mad Scientist of Song” Professor Gall lays down jazzy, theatrical junkyard folk from a steampunk perspective. Even if you’re not a blues fan, you probably remember Little Charlie and the Nightcats. The swingin’ Bay Area jump blues outfit with Charlie Baty on guitar played here off and on for three decades. When Baty went into semi-retirement in 2008, frontman/harp player Rick Estrin took over the band and Charlie’s place was filled by hot Norwegian guitarist Chris “Kid” Andersen, formerly of Charlie Musselwhite’s band. Rick Estrin and The Nightcats are coming up Saturday night — where else would the band play but Humboldt’s home of the blues, the Riverwood Inn? Ready for a road trip? Rooster McClintock plays its reverb-drenched, Bakersfield-style honkytonk music at the soon-to-close Mendo honkytonk the Caspar Inn on Friday night. Better book a room; you won’t want to drive home. ●

The play opens with a prison guard and a prisoner, each on a separate stage. They face the audience. They speak: Guard: I am Guard. Not one guard, but many. I have one mouth, but speak with many voices. I have two ears, and I have heard many stories. Prisoner: I am Prisoner. Not one prisoner, but many. I have one mouth, but speak with many voices. I have two ears, and I have heard many stories. Guard: I am tall, short, all shades of color … Prisoner: male, female, vicious, (pause) kind … Guard & Prisoner (simultaneously): don’t give a damn. Prisoner: I do time. Guard: I do time in eight hour shifts. Prisoner: I do time all the time.

And then several choruses chime in, one at a time, as “the public.” From there, they become different faces: friends and family of prisoners and guards, victims of prisoners. They argue. They tell personal stories — the guard’s scary first day; the college-bound son diverted to prison “for a little bit of nothing,” his father laments; life in “the hole.” And more. Facts are thrown in: “We are the people who live in communities where 50 new prisons have been built every single year for the past 20 years,” says one chorus. Another replies: “You gotta be kidding! … Who would believe that?!” This is from the script of Thousand Kites, a play written by Donna Porterfield and based on a hip-hop radio DJ in Appalachia who began corresponding with prisoners in a Super Max prison. (“Kites” is prison slang for notes slipped cell to cell by prisoners.) Across the United States, community groups have produced the play, modifying it with local stories. Spoken-word artist/activist Vanessa PikeVrtiak, who produces, directs and acts in the local production, has added stories, including one based on her five-year correspondence with a Pelican Bay prisoner. “He’s been locked up since 19 and he’s 26, now,” she said. “He gets out when he’s 50. He’s in for murder; he was in a gang when he was a kid. And you can sense the remorse he feels, and the shame. He’s in a single housing unit, by himself, and only gets outside for one hour a day.” In part of the play, Pike-Vrtiak embodies his story, telling how it was during his sentencing, how his mother looked so heartbroken and crushed. She said she knows what it’s like to be the family left behind — her mother was locked

up for a while when she was a kid. Her uncle was in for burglary. Her stepfather has been locked up for a long time for murder. “And I remember seeing them take him away,” she said. Throughout the production, speakers are backed by music by DJ Jay Collins. The play — and a criminal justice dialogue paired with it — is designed to raise awareness, to help people heal, and to inspire development of more services for prisoners and their families, said Pike-Vrtiak. For example, perhaps prisoners could be assigned case managers when they get out, she said. And maybe, when a police officer comes into a home to take away a prisoner, there could be a little box on the form that says whether there was a child in the home. “That is crucial, so someone can come in and follow-up with the child,” she said. “I feel I would have greatly benefited from something like that.” Thousand Kites comes to Humboldt this week, with the opening performance at 8 p.m. Friday, March 15, in Gist Hall at Humboldt State University. Subsequent performances are Friday, March 29 at 8 p.m. in the Native Forum on the HSU campus, and Sunday, April 7, at 2 p.m.at Redwood Curtain Theatre in Old Town Eureka. The Criminal Justice Dialogue is March 28 and 29 at 6 p.m. in the Native Forum at HSU. Organized by the play performers and the local Child Abuse Prevention Council, it brings together Bay Area organizations, Humboldt County District Attorney Paul Gallegos, KHSU radio deejay Sista Soul and Humboldt County Chief Probation Officer Bill Damiano. — Heidi Walters continued on next page

book HOT: Living Through the Next Fifty Years On Earth by Mark Hertsgaard Houghton Mifflin Harcourt In 2005 environmental journalist Mark Hertsgaard began hearing some deeply unsettling news about the effects of global warming called climate change, primarily from scientists in Europe: Climate change was no longer something that might happen in the future. It was already happening, and it would continue getting worse for at least the next 25 years, even if carbon emissions were suddenly slashed to nothing. Of course, if emissions of greenhouse gases aren’t stopped, the future beyond 2020 gets even worse. But at the time, American activists didn’t want to talk about dealing with the effects that were surely going to happen, even if they accepted this science. Al Gore and others thought this would distract from the efforts to control emissions so ultimate catastrophe could be avoided. But more recently, when it became apparent that climate change was happening with unexpected speed, American activists (and Gore) began to accept that the world would need to deal with the effects (floods, storms, heat waves, drought, disease, sealevel rise, etc.) now and in the near future, and they would need to simultaneously address the causes of global heating (emissions), to save the farther future. Unfortunately, they adopted the confusing technocratic terms of “adaptation” (dealing with effects) and “mitigation” (the causes). Hertsgaard’s book distinguishes itself partly by dealing with what’s needed and what’s being done along both those tracks. A lot is being done at the city, state and regional levels in the U.S., including here in California, as well as internationally. The other distinguishing element of the book is a very practical and personal framework: Hertsgaard is trying to figure out what the world is going to be like for his very young daughter back in San Francisco. That’s also part of the impact of understanding that the climate change future has begun. It was his first thought in 2005. He writes: “Chiara will have to live through this.” Hertsgaard travels, reports and describes, compares and evaluates with informed objectivity, but Chiara is never far from his thoughts. He realizes that stories — from myths and fairytales to comic book heroes — can tell her important things in addition to what science says. Just for its comprehensive and clear information, this is one of the best books on climate change I’ve read, and because of the ongoing work he reports, it’s a bit more heartening than many, at least for the near future. But it’s no easier to read. It requires emotional work just to allow into consciousness this onrushing future dominated by climate change. Hertsgaard ends with a letter for his daughter to read in 2020, when much more will be known about the farther future, depending on what gets done in the next seven years. Chiara will be 15. — William Kowinski

Sam Raimi’s Oz might have been wonderful, if it only had a heart By John J. Bennett filmland@northcoastjournal.com Activists march in protest of the “Yellow Brick Road Widening Project” near Garberville.

Reviews OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL. Sam Raimi is a director of considerable talents. His best stuff (the Evil Dead trilogy, The Gift, Drag Me to Hell) showcases his distinctive visual style, slapstick humor, sharp editing and a reverence for classical horror cinema. When it works, it really works. Oz doesn’t really work. We open in Kansas, 1905. A shaggy traveling circus has rolled into town, and Raimi shows it off in a long, black-and-white boom shot (one of the movie’s creative high-water marks). Oz (James Franco) runs a sideshow magic grift and dreams of greater things. Before long, his implied philandering enrages the circus strongman, whose pursuit leads Oz to beat a hasty escape in a hot air balloon. His timing couldn’t be worse; a tornado takes hold of his conveyance, and before you know it he crash lands in a vividly colorful Cinemascope wonderland. From there, he’s off to be the wizard, yellow brick road, Emerald City, witches and all. The trailer prepared me for a sumptuously imaginative revisiting of the L. Frank Baum

mythology. What it failed to disclose was the countless plodding scenes of exposition-heavy dialogue, which awkwardly advance the story from one plot point to the next. Like I said, Raimi has a lot of strengths as a filmmaker; directing walk-and-talks isn’t one of them. And in the case of Oz, neither is casting. I like Franco, as much for his intellectual antics as his weirdo-James Dean screen presence. But this part, or Raimi’s conception of it, calls for a straightforward approach, which doesn’t play to Franco’s strengths. He has a genuine talent for conveying difficult emotions like jealousy and wounded pride, but the Oz character doesn’t leave room for that. It’s all P.T. Barnum bluster without any introspection. And his PG-rated chemistry with Michelle Williams and Mila Kunis is bloodless to the point of implausibility. But the most frustrating element may be the visual depiction of the Land of Oz. At nearly 75 years old, 1939’s The Wizard of Oz remains immersive, even revelatory for its use of the technology of the day. Technicolor, still new at the time, was employed in a way that few films have rivaled. Ditto the large-scale soundstage production, fantastical set and costume designs and matte (backdrop) painting. Technology has advanced immeasurably since then, but in Raimi’s movie it amounts to a maelstrom of humdrum digital effects. In recreating Oz with green screens and 3D rendering, the filmmakers have robbed Oz of its tactile charm. PG. 130m. DEAD MAN DOWN takes a milliontimes-retold story about revenge-crossed lovers, updates it to present-day New York and adds Hungarians, Albanians and a lot of guns. The end result: a faux-noir that’s disappointingly short on style and substance. Victor (Colin Farrell) is a rising star in a scrubby criminal organization led by a would-be slumlord named Alphonse (Terrence Howard). But Victor has secrets, and

his neighbor Beatrice (Noomi Rapace) knows at least one of them. She saw him commit a murder and intends to blackmail him into committing another on her behalf. The man she wants dead is a drunk driver who hit her, forcing her to undergo facial reconstructive surgery while he served just three weeks in jail. Victor agrees to the deal, and soon he and Beatrice are both deeply involved in a separate revenge plot that he’s got going, one that’s even more elaborate, less plausible — and central to the plot, so I won’t go into it. A few small but fundamental problems stop Dead Man Down in its tracks. For one, Victor’s character is depicted as some sort of poor man’s James Bond, beyond-capable in a number of violent arts. These skills are explained away as a result of “military service.” For another, we’re supposed to believe that Beatrice’s surgery has rendered her hideous and unable to continue a normal life. Kids in her neighborhood call her monster and throw rocks when she walks down the street. But she looks just like Noomi Rapace with some interesting scars around her left eye. Even these details could work in the context of the movie, even add to its atmosphere, but they are mishandled. Rather than creating a world for his characters to inhabit, director Niels Arden Oplev lets the action play out in the real one, so the flawed logic and implausible characterizations stand out all the more. Oplev did so well with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which is painted with similarly broad thematic strokes, that I was optimistic, even excited to see Dead Man Down. But where the former was atmospheric and engrossing, this one is dismally predictable and unsatisfying. R. 110m. — John J. Bennett

NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST, DATED May 22, 2006, UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 213 488-0218. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Columbus of the Pacific Part 1: The Explorer-Friar By Barry Evans

fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com

n 1565, 73 years after Columbus navigated across the Atlantic, Friar Andrés de Urdaneta (1498-1568) discovered the vital route from Manila in the “Old World” to Acapulco in the “New World” that would link the Philippines with the Viceroyalty of New Spain (present-day Mexico) for the next 250 years. Turns out, our own Cape Mendocino played a key role. As a monk in the Order of the Hermits of Saint Augustine, probably the last thing Urdaneta had on his mind in 1564 was a plea from King Philip II of Spain to help lead an expedition across the Pacific. But Urdaneta probably knew more about sailing the world’s largest ocean than any other navigator of his time. He’d already had his share of adventures, including circumnavigating the globe, albeit as a prisoner for much of the journey. His was only the second circumnavigation, the first having been made 14 years earlier, in 1822, by the remnants of the Magellan-Elcano expedition. Born in the Basque province of Gipuzkoa, Spain, Urdaneta surely hadn’t planned on being away from home for 11 years when he sailed in 1525 with the ill-fated Loaísa expedition (the subject of a future Field Notes). Along with just 24 other survivors out of the original 450, he was captured by the Portuguese in the Spice Islands (now part of Indonesia), and spent several years in captivity before being brought back under guard to Lisbon by the Portuguese Indian Armada. He subsequently escaped, received a cool reception from the King of Spain, decided he’d had enough of Europe, and headed to New Spain for what he probably imagined would be a life of holy contemplation

through his twilight years. The challenge thrown down by the new Spanish King, Philip II, was simple: Find an easterly route across the Pacific for galleons to safely sail from Spain’s newly acquired (1565) Philippines colony to Acapulco. Sailing westward across the Pacific was no great problem: Magellan had been blown by westerly trade winds across the Pacific in 1521. The eastward voyage proved trickier. Several Spanish navigators had already failed to find suitable winds before Urdaneta established the “Volta do Mar” Manila-Acapulco route in 1565. Urdaneta guessed correctly that, by sailing sufficiently far north, he would leave the trade winds and enter the zone of the westerlies. He set sail from present-day Cebu Island on June 1, 1565, sailing north to beyond 35 degrees latitude, where he found the westerly “north Pacific drift” winds he was looking for. He reached Acapulco 130 days and 12,000 miles later after a difficult voyage in which 14 crew died, mainly from scurvy — what we now know to be a deficiency of ascorbic acid, vitamin C. Arriving at Acapulco, only Urdaneta and one other seaman had strength enough to drop anchor, but it was enough to ensure “Urdaneta’s route” could be used by future generations of galleons between the Old and New Worlds. Next week we’ll look at Urdaneta’s legacy — including the “lost treasure of King Peak” legend. Barry Evans’ (barryevans9@yahoo. com) interest in Urdaneta was piqued on a recent visit to the museum in Acapulco’s old Spanish fort.
