Evict ‘em

Call to Artists “CAPTURE THE MAGIC”

Editor: Hilary Mosher explained in her views piece “Disquiet on the Mobile Home Front” (Aug. 13) that the board of supervisors won’t even put the issue of rent stabilization at mobile home parks on the agenda and expressed that Ryan Sundberg, Virginia Bass and Rex Bohn are subverting the public process.

I hope that neither Ms. Mosher nor anyone else who’s been paying attention is surprised that the these three supervisors are more concerned with the profit margins of the owners of the mobile home parks than with the plight of Humboldt County’s seniors and other low-income citizens.

All one need do is look at the public records of the donations to their campaigns to see that Sundberg, Bass and Bohn are funded and backed by the largest landowners and the related development industry business owners. The reason these well-heeled folks back these three supervisors is that they know they can count on them to always vote for industry’s interests over those of the average citizen. And you have to give all three of them credit for being unabashed in their public display of contempt for the rest of us.

As to the McKinleyville Advisory Committee (MAC), Hilary is wrong to refer to them as in any way representing the citizens of McKinleyville. The MAC is a sham, created by the board of supervisors, which appoints all its members, as a way of further subverting the will of the voters and to provide cover for Sundberg’s actions on behalf of the land developers’ cabal.

It is long past time to vote these supervisors out of office.

Editor: Amy Gustin’s opinion piece in the NCJ (“Cannabis Crossroads,” Aug. 6) suggests that the upcoming marijuana ordinance for Humboldt County parcels five acres and larger should be designed to reduce the amount grown. “We have much to gain by scaling back marijuana production” she says, citing the small amount of “native habitat” remaining here, and its importance to “Humboldt’s largest species.”

She is barking up the wrong plant here. Humboldt County encompasses 2,283,520 acres of land. Of this land, Wikipedia tells us, nearly 1.5 million acres is in public or private timber production, and we produce 20 percent of the volume and 30 percent of the value of all forest products in the state. Humboldt County Sheriff Mike Downey estimated we have

4,100 marijuana gardens. It is doubtful that any of these is as large as 1 acre, and the argument over garden sizes allowed in the proposed ordinance tops out at 1/4 acre (10,000 square feet).

Giving every benefit of the doubt to Amy’s argument, let’s say that the average area of the marijuana gardens is 1 acre. That amounts to two-tenths of 1 percent of the land in the county. Commercial forestry occupies 375 times as much land, and is actively working it. Over half of the entire county is commercial forest lands. Which activity impacts habitat more? There is little point in expending environmentalists’ energy on marijuana unless they are satisfied that forestry is operating as they wish.

Long-time environmentalists will recognize the habitat argument as carried over from opposition to logging. It made some sense in that context. It makes no sense in the marijuana context. The real argument over the garden sizes in the ordinance concerns mom-and-pop marijuana producers versus large or “corporate” producers, and the discussion will create a better result if it is conducted on that ground rather than bringing in a kind of kitchen sink collection of possible reasons to bolster one side or the other.

Not So Cute

other animals) in the U.S. annually. The problem is especially acute for young, naïve birds. This is unsustainable and wildlife advocates, supported by a growing number of pet welfare advocates, are pretty much unanimous in opposing outdoor cats. The Migratory Bird Treaty Act actually makes it illegal to allow a cat to kill a native bird, but unfortunately the law is poorly enforced.

For those who insist on letting their cats out, collar bells don’t work very well; cats learn how to move without ringing them and birds don’t always associate the sound with danger. Much more effective are bibs, usually neoprene, that prevent cats from getting their catches into their mouths. Cats and bird feeders simply don’t mix; putting them into the same yard is inviting carnage, which has the same root as “carnivore.” And no amount of birdfriendly landscaping or conscientious feeder placement will keep an outdoor cat from leaving its yard to wreak havoc elsewhere, including other yards with bird feeders. Some cat-owning, bird-loving friends of mine have built outdoor runs so their cats can get out without interacting

with wildlife or disturbing the neighbors.

In short, having a pet of any kind comes with the responsibility of preventing it from doing harm or bothering others, the same as with a child. Too few pet owners — and parents, for that matter — take that responsibility seriously. Creating a yard that is inviting to wildlife and then putting cats into it is irresponsible, as is inflicting them on neighbors who don’t want them around.

False Beliefs

Editor: As a society our nation has come to rely too much on law enforcement to deal with the social problems of homelessness and mental health (“Eviction Notices Served to Marsh Homeless. What Now?” July 30). We place the demand on law enforcement officers who can only deal with these problems on a superficial level.

Removing homeless people from the area behind the Bayshore Mall will not solve anything. They will return again. That is the problem with direct enforcement. It

only serves to move the problem to a different location and putting them in jail for violations of minor laws and ordinances serves no real purpose because they do their time, then return to life on the streets. And jail is a much more expensive temporary solution.

Either we continue to deal with this problem as such through law enforcement — by cutting and defunding social programs and we leave the homeless or mentally ill to fend for themselves, maybe even die on our streets — or we provide affordable housing and social support through our government. It is much more cost effective for us to solve these problems in a humane way by funding affordable housing and other more effective permanent solutions. Cutting funding for food stamps, homeless shelters and other governmental support only serves to make this problem worse.

We support tax cuts and generous subsidies for wealthy individuals and corporations that cost us much more than any social program in a false belief that they will create economic wealth for all rather than place our support as a society through our government and the tax revenues that government generates to those who really need our help. What does that say about us?

Power Play

Editor: At an Arcata City Council meeting the California Clean Power principals told us they’d learned how to set up CCA systems

by setting up Sonoma County’s (“Arcata Eyes Costly Divorce,” July 30). They did that as county officials. But the model they’re urging on us is not that model: It adds a new layer of organization, to wit, their new private company. Pardon my jaundiced eye, but their in-house feasibility study looks a bit self-serving to me.

Evidently we’re helpless without them.

CEO Peter Rumble says California Clean Power (not to be confused with our other suitor with the same acronym, Community Choice Partners) is set to share the financial risk among other communities who may use its services. What’s stopping the Redwood Coast Energy Authority from reaching out to those other communities? And while CalCleanPower’s middleman-for-profit model is untried (we’d be their first customer), the not-forprofit models are legion. OK, not legion, but there are Marin and Sonoma counties, which between them also cover six cities in two other counties, and the unincorporated part of a third. San Francisco’s finally moving forward on its own, Davis wants to join Marin, Santa Barbara’s at least flirting with the idea (though it doesn’t look like St. Barbara was the flirting type). San Diego’s consulting a lawyer who helped set up Marin’s system. As far as I can tell, none of these entities is looking to farm out the job to either CCP or, uh, CCP. Jamie Flower, Arcata ●

Game Over

A former sex trafficking victim fights back

By Linda Stansberry linda@northcoastjournal.com

E

lle Snow sits with a straight back and squared shoulders. Her long blonde hair is pulled back into a ponytail. Her muscular arms are framed with matching black tattoos: an angel and a devil. At some point soon she hopes to get the name of her new nonprofit Game Over, Inc. inked on her knuckles. Her former pimp, she says, hated tattoos. Snow testified against the man, David Bernard Anderson II, in 2014, which resulted in his conviction and a nine-year prison sentence. Now Snow is channeling her experience into helping other victims.

On Aug. 19, the Humboldt County Department of Health and Human Services was scheduled to present to the Law Enforcement Chiefs Association of Humboldt County on recent changes to sex trafficking legislation. Proposition 35, approved in 2012, increases prison time for those convicted of human trafficking and mandates training for law enforcement.

Assembly Bill 1585, signed into law in September of 2014, allows someone who has been convicted of prostitution to have that conviction dismissed if the defendant can prove he or she was a victim of human trafficking. Snow says that AB 1585 is a crucial change that will allow victims to come out from the shadows.

“I didn’t know I was a sex trafficking victim until a year and a half ago. I didn’t know there was a name for it,” says Snow.

“I thought I was just a prostitute.”

Snow was 19 when she met Anderson in Eureka. She fit the profile of the type of young girl so-called “Romeo pimps” target: young, vulnerable, with a history of abuse. She was flattered by the attention he offered. When he invited her to spend the weekend in Sacramento, she went, thinking he was motivated by romance.

Instead he beat her, raped her and tried to force her to walk the street. When she went into shock, he brought her to a brothel. He sold her body for almost a

year before she escaped. She survived the experience by withdrawing, a tactic she developed in childhood.

“I said goodbye to myself, said, ‘I can’t be here right now.’” After escaping, she retreated again, into alcohol abuse. Now 31, Snow says testifying against Anderson was terrifying but also “liberating.”

“I spent 10 years thinking I was weak.

It’s not true. I grew up a tough, crazy girl. I have to remember who I am or believe I’m a piece of crap.”

Human trafficking is often thought of as a problem that applies to other places, other countries. But in 2014 the National Human Trafficking Resource Center received 685 calls related to sex trafficking in California alone. In 2013, California’s anti-trafficking task force initiated 2,552 investigations, discovered 1,277 victims and arrested 1,798 suspected traffickers.

Like Snow, many victims don’t know their experience is defined as trafficking.

“If it’s somebody under 18, then they’re a trafficked person simply by virtue of their age,” says Paula Arrowsmith-Jones of the Humboldt County Rape Crisis Team, adding that adults forced into the trade or giving their money to someone else also meet the definition.

Snow puts it more bluntly: “If you have a pimp, then you’re being trafficked.”

There are no statistics available to gauge the scale of the problem in Humboldt County. Locally, there have been several stings targeting prostitutes, but none appear to go up the ladder to their potential pimps. Snow says she initially wanted to bring training into the region, but couldn’t find a curriculum that met the unique needs of Humboldt County, where there is both a high level of poverty and a great deal of seasonal, disposable income. Unlike urban areas, trafficked people in Humboldt may be sold out of motel rooms and private homes instead of on the street. Easy access to the interstate allows pimps to transport their

victims and “break them in” at truckstops, says Snow. Poverty and widespread drug abuse help create a population of vulnerable young people who might be enticed by a trafficker’s promises.

Chief Probation Officer William Damiano says that to many, the idea of people being trafficked out of Humboldt County may “sound fantastical” but he does have cases come across his desk. Working with young people who have been trafficked poses special challenges.

“My perspective as a correctional officer is that we have youth on probation that have been sucked out of the area, they have been enticed by people offering them free access to drugs, sex, whatever it may be, then they get trapped in this lifestyle and exploited,” says Damiano. “We don’t treat them differently because they’ve been involved in the sex trade. These youth have been culled off from the herd and isolated. They have issues of trust. … From a psychological standpoint they’ve been basically told they’re a worthless piece of trash. Our society doesn’t look highly on prostitution; forgiving themselves and moving on can be difficult.”

Patti Thomas, a local therapist who worked with Snow after the trial and helped found Game Over, says traffickers are “more sophisticated than any perpetrator that [she’s] ever worked with.”

Thomas works with sex offenders locally.

Pimps, she said, share information, share techniques about how to break and brainwash their victims, and use social media and technology to expand their empires.

Both Thomas and Snow point to listings on Backpage.com, a Craigslist-type website that offers escort ads, as evidence that women are being trafficked into Humboldt County. Many anti-trafficking activists have accused Backpage of abetting the crime and Visa and Mastercard both recently stopped allowing the site to use their payment services. The site responded by making it free for users to post ads if they used the promo code FREESPEECH. The women advertised on the Humboldt section — around 10 unique listings a day — are displayed in bits and parts: the curve of a buttock, the scoop of a breast, a face peering over a shoulder. They are predominantly women of color, and often warn that they’re only in town for a limited time. Snow says their pimps are playing to the market by offering a racially diverse selection to a racially homogenous region. Moving women around, she says, is all part of the game,

a way to keep victims away from their support networks and familiar surroundings. When asked if it’s possible if the women are free agents — not trafficked, not pimped — Snow scoffs. She says that the number of women she has met in the industry who joined of their own free will is negligible.

Kyla Baxley, an investigator with the Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office, says that it’s entirely possible that some of the women advertised as escorts are “exploring that venue of work on their own.” Baxley helped break open the Anderson case, which went on to be the first of its kind prosecuted in Humboldt County. She agrees that it is difficult to quantify the number of victims, and that there may be many traffickers such as Anderson targeting and exploiting local youth.

“From my perspective, victims often don’t feel that they’ve got a safe place to report. Just because a law enforcement officer speaks to them doesn’t mean they’re going to trust them. … They’re finding more solace in their pimp,” says Baxley, adding that there may be many cases originally reported as domestic violence or prostitution which are actually human trafficking. For a case to be prosecuted successfully, “it takes a victim, a cooperative victim, someone willing to testify against him.”

Victims with that kind of courage are rare, says Baxley, making Snow’s accomplishments all the more remarkable. Only four of the eight women Baxley contacted in the Anderson case were willing to testify against their former pimp. Snow says that during the trial she predicted Anderson’s legal strategies with uncanny accuracy.

“I live in a trafficker’s head now,” she says. “That’s where I had to go to survive.”

Snow is in the process of developing a curriculum that addresses sex trafficking in Humboldt County and hopes to present it at future workshops and form a task force specifically focused on the issue.

Having remained anonymous in the past, Snow says she is now ready to step out of the shadows, to “go big or go home.” Although she still suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, she says testifying against Anderson and starting her nonprofit have helped. She has started kickboxing. She is ready to fight.

“I owe my allegiance to Humboldt,” she says. “This place is my healing. I can’t leave here without fixing this.” ●

Lost Coast Roast The Miller Family, Dylan, Luke, Jon and Dusty started Lost Coast Roast in 2015. Lost Coast Roast provides Humboldt with the best in local, organic, fair trade cold brewed coffee.

Brewed in small batches, Lost Coast Roast’s iced coffee only uses single-origin coffee beans harvested from self-sustainable farms in Central and South America.

Lost Coast Roast’s iced coffee uses only four main ingredients, premium medium roast coffee, cane sugar, 2% Humboldt Creamery milk, and salt. Lost Coast Roast’s iced coffee is also cold brewed and the family takes every step necessary to make sure that the water that is used is free of all pollutants and contaminants. To them, it’s the water that makes the coffee and without good water your coffee is mediocre.

Currently, Lost Coast Roast is only available in one flavor, original. They do plan on expanding their line to other flavors and also a milk substitute variety.

Lost Coast Roast’s iced coffee can be found at 40 plus locations throughout Humboldt County, including Murphy’s Market. “Murphy’s has always been a part of our lives. Growing up in Westhaven, the Murphy’s in Trinidad was the grocery store for us” explain the guys at Lost Coast Roast. “Murphy’s is a great spot to get organic local products, seafood, drinks or produce,” they explain.

For more information on Lost Coast Roast you can check them out on Facebook, call them at 630-5032 or grab a bottle at a store near you. They will also be participating in this year’s “Everything Humboldt” event at the Humboldt County Fair on August 24th.

HORSE RACING AT THE HUMBOLDT COUNTY FAIR IN 1946.

COURTESY OF THE FERNDALE MUSEUM

Once More around the Track

By Rod Kausen

newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

R

ed Smith, the famous New York sports columnist, described the directions to the historic Saratoga Race Course in upper state New York this way: “Take the 87 north from New York City, drive past Albany, turn right on Union Avenue, and go back 100 years.”

The Humboldt County Fairgrounds in Ferndale may not have the same international horse racing fame as Saratoga, but on a smaller scale, walking into the old wooden grandstand area and sensing the excitement of the opening of the race meet is also a step back in time.

The Humboldt County Fair prospered in the early years around the beginning of the 20th century. It followed local racing traditions of the Eel River Jockey Club in Rohnerville, where the backstretch is now just a street called Brandy Lane and trotters and pacers raced in Sulky’s at a time of an even earlier yesteryear.

Smaller gambling outlets also dotted the area in the golden age, some recognized, some not – a makeshift racetrack in Hydesville, a cock fighting venue on Centerville Road, and card games far and wide on Friday nights.

Of course, the Ferndale Racetrack is just Ferndale, not Saratoga or Del Mar, but to the residents of Humboldt County, it

has long been our slice of Americana.

Since 1935 there have been ongoing attempts to maintain the perimeter of the Ferndale racecourse to allow the charm of bygone eras to endure. Every year enough people are lured there for two frantic weekends in the dog days of August to allow the place to survive for at least another year.

The racetrack has everything needed for a casual racing fan: a fair for the kids to wander off to, racing mules, thoroughbreds that still have a chance to win at age 12 (horses, in other words, that can run a little bit), small-town politics between the Humboldt County Fair Board and the Ferndale Enterprise, and corndogs.

An ethical bunch of horsemen choose to pick up their tack and stock and drive north or south to this backstretch for a few days, a life where the Sport of Kings is simply unending work with an occasional flight uptown to a hideaway called The Palace.

Melanie McDonald is a hard-working, small-time trainer who owns a few horses.

On the early morning backstretch at Santa Rosa last month, she reminisced about the Humboldt County Fair races with a drawl of melancholy in her voice: “I don’t know if I have any horses to bring up to Ferndale this year since I don’t have one for

the Humboldt County Marathon — my favorite race at my favorite race track.”

McDonald is an astute, seasoned horsewoman, having claimed a horse for $4,000 in Sacramento two years back and shipped him here to win the marathon.

She won the marathon — the final race of the meet — last year too, with her only winning thoroughbred of the year.

Barrington Harvey is an honest and reliable journeyman jockey who has been a lifer around the racetrack stables. Born and raised in Jamaica, he began racing at the age of 16 and moved his tack to the East Coast in 1987 to try to hit the big time. Now, at 52, he still works horses in the morning and takes mounts on anything he can in the afternoon.

He is colorful, popular and lives the life of a self-made nomad; he needs no handouts living a tough life existing in his own element; he works hard and keeps his weight down by exercise, not sweatboxes; and every summer he is lured back, hoping to get a decent horse to ride in the Humboldt County Marathon, a race he has mastered in the past.

As one story goes, since the horses pass the finish line four times in the big race — the Marathon — some jocks have been known to put four peas in his or her mouth and spit one out each time passing the grandstands to remember how many laps are left. Barrington Harvey doesn’t like to use an agent like most jockeys, he would rather take less mounts and do it himself. He travels light and packs no peas in his duffle bag.

Class reunions are timed around the horse races. Friends meet; longshot seekers wander in, everyone puts a few bucks down on front running favorites that win at an unusually high percentage on all the bullring tracks like Ferndale. Patrons cash all their winning bets at the end of the day and wonder how they lost money.

Groups of gamblers at other racetracks rely on the little guys at Ferndale to drink too much beer and bet the favorites down. The home track relies on the money gambled at off-track sites even more.

Maybe Americans are still drawn to the roots of our country, the idealized way of small-town life in days long gone.

Our country made big strides before the Depression and World War II to accept others as part of the mosaic of society, to bask in the tossed salad that we had become instead of an idealized “melting pot” of cultures that our forbearers imagined. Maybe Americans really long for that acceptance of diversity.

To me, the racetrack has always felt like a place that has more equality than other sports. Back in the late 1800s, the children

of former slaves won the Kentucky Derby many times before being banned. Women have unique equal rights in the sport, as a female jockey with good hands can often outride a more aggressive male. In the biggest twist of sports culture, the smallest of men are the heroes and stars of the sport.

It’s a game, and it’s a sport; but it binds us together as the culturally diverse crowd roars in unison as the horses turn for home.

Picture a perfect day at the track, winning most of the races — not all of them, but almost. Finish the day with a big hit on an exotic wager like the Pick 4. The day is over and the winners mingle under the grandstands, reveling together before drifting uptown to the watering holes and dining establishments where the day never quite ends. You can hear the clinking of whisky glasses into the din of the evening even from the outside of the Victorian facades, the chatter of the tales of the day’s triumphs and tragedies.

These aren’t the days of young men out driving around the back country roads with a fishing pole and tossing Pabst Blue Ribbon beer cans off the back of flatbed trucks, or a Sunday morning church social, or the drive-in theater, or couples dancing past midnight to a soft jazz band or jukebox at the dinner club. But the Humboldt County Fair is a close second by a photo.

Saratoga and Del Mar are two of my favorite places on earth, but somehow in August I’d still rather be at the historic little racetrack in the historic little town where I grew up. The smell of a cigar always triggers memories: Gaining entrance to the races as a kid by climbing the fence between the Ferndale football field and the far side stables; the sandwiches from the booth under the grandstands smothered with a simple mustard and mayonnaise spread; the two lady ushers upstairs, one tall, one short, both dressed in red, white and blue, who ushered us kids out of the reserved box seats; and my first big winning score, a $2 exacta that paid $749 in the summer of 1973 just before my senior year at Ferndale High.

My lifelong love affair with horse racing began here. My first love. These are the good old days. Hope to see you at the races this weekend, 100 years ago.

Humboldt Made Shakeup

T. Aaron Carter, the executive director of Humboldt Made who was hired at the beginning of the year and led an effort to reshape the group, has left the position.

“It just got to a point where I felt like I did what I needed to do,” he says. “I couldn’t justify continuing to pay myself.

I agreed to [step down] to help protect [Humboldt Made] for the members.”

Carter was featured in the Journal’s June 18 cover story, in which he talked about his efforts to define Humboldt Made and what it offers its member businesses and the community at large.

His work was not unanimously supported by the board. Carter supported incorporating marijuana businesses into Humboldt Made’s vision, an effort that he said was “divided.” Following presentations from California Cannabis Voice Humboldt this summer, Humboldt Made decided to hold off on allowing marijuana products into its fold until California’s anticipated recreational legalization in 2016, saying the board feared approval would jeopardize its ability to seek federal funding.

Carter was also behind a push to broaden Humboldt Made to incorporate retail shops and services. He said the board has largely embraced that vision now, in part because the organization stands to benefit from increased revenue from member dues. Redwood Capital Bank and Eureka Payments are among the financial services that recently joined the organization, and Carter said retail shops and real estate agencies have been applying recently.

Humboldt Made Board President Clint Victorine also stepped down recently, according to a press release, and board member Don Banducci was named as his replacement. Board member Alanna Powell, the general manager of Tulip perfumes, has taken over as interim executive director.

Pay It Forward

Fires are still raging around Humboldt County. If you want to help volunteer firefighters and evacuees, Pay It Forward Humboldt is coordinating donations of non-perishable food, sleeping bags, tarps and N95-certified breathing masks. They ask that people do not donate clothes, but consider donating directly to volunteer fire departments in affected areas.

Jail Suicide Report

Bolman to Sue HSU

A 46-year-old Colorado man fell to his death near College Cove recently, according to the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office.

A Coast Guard helicopter helped retrieve the body of Anthony Wayne Hodson on Saturday, Aug. 15 after the sheriff’s office was notified. Officials believe Hodson fell about 75 feet from cliffs above where he was found.

The Bureau of Justice Statistics has released a report on mortality in jails and state prisons. Its findings offer some perspective on the recent spike in suicide attempts at the Humboldt County jail, which has seen 12 attempts so far this year, three times the amount of the previous two years. The statistics in the federal report do not include information for attempts, just deaths. Only one person has died as a result of suicide at the Humboldt County jail this year.

According to the report: Suicides in jails increased 9 percent, from 300 suicides in 2012 to 327 in 2013.

Suicide was the leading cause of death in jails in 2013 (34 percent of all jail deaths) and has been the leading cause of death in jails each year since 2000.

The suicide rate increased from 40 suicides per 100,000 local jail inmates in 2012 to 46 suicides per 100,000 local jail inmates in 2013.

Jacquelyn Bolman, former director of Humboldt State University’s Indian Natural Resources Science and Engineering Program, has filed suit against the university in Humboldt Superior Court, according to an article in Indian Country Today.

Bolman alleges that her free speech, right to due process and civil rights were violated after she was fired in October 2014. The firing, which Bolman says was a retaliatory action after she criticized the university’s “under-representation of minorities,” was marked by weeks of student protests.

Bolman, who is currently working for the Wiyot Tribe, is demanding reinstatement to her position at HSU, and is seeking a jury trial in Humboldt County Superior Court. The University has filed its own complaint requesting the case be moved to a U.S. District Court. Read more about Bolman’s firing, and the turmoil that ensued, in the the Journal’s Feb. 26 cover story, “35 Days in the Forum.”

Registration Day

By Grant Scott-Goforth grant@northcoastjournal.com

F

irst-of-their-kind regulations for marijuana grows were approved last week by the northern section of California’s water board.

At a somewhat tumultuous Santa Rosa meeting on Aug. 13, the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board adopted a registration program that it originally released in draft form in May. The program requires anyone with a cannabis cultivation area 2,000 square feet or larger to enroll by Feb. 15, and will regulate how those sites discharge wastewater and impact waterways.

The program has three tiers of cultivation: grow sites under 5,000 square feet that pose no risk of waste discharge, grow sites that are larger or pose risks, and grow sites that are already in need of remediation, according to a report in the Press Democrat.

Tier 2 participants must provide a water resource protection plan and Tier 3 sites need that as well as a clean-up and restoration plan.

Waste discharge risk factors include drainage features, stream crossings, water diversion or storage, and the use of fertilizers. As the Journal noted when the draft regulation was released, it’s almost impossible to imagine a 2,000-square-foot grow that doesn’t fit at least one of those criteria.

The water board voted 5-1 to adopt the plan, with only board member Greg Giusti of Ukiah opposing, saying he was worried that registering growers in the statewide regulatory program would put them at risk of federal scrutiny. The regulation includes the option for growers to register through approved third-party organizations to lower the risk that their information could be seized by the feds. It is also worded vaguely enough, officials said, that no one registering is admitting to growing marijuana specifically.

When the water board’s enforcement arm began a pilot program, visiting grows in Southern Humboldt watersheds in January, officials said that residents were eager to hear what they needed to do to come into compliance.

But according to a Record-Bee report, several Sproul Creek residents spoke at last week’s meeting about “difficulties in following up with site notification, with one threatening to take the board to court.” l

Business leaders in Israel, an international leader in medical marijuana research, may look to export the product as a future revenue generator for the nation.

The Jerusalem Times reports that a recent conference saw the leader of the Israel Loss Adjusters Association call for the government to dedicate land to export-oriented medical marijuana, a move that some predicted could outpace the country’s natural gas sales. l Montana marijuana advocates are holding their breath for a state Supreme Court decision that could make or break the state’s medical marijuana framework.

In effect since 2004, the program came under fire when thousands of dispensaries popped up around the state, near churches and schools.

“As medical marijuana consumers cry foul, state legislators and grassroots opposition have sought to undermine the industry, saying business grew too large, too fast — in effect becoming recreational marijuana operating under the guise of medicine,” writes the Washington Post.

Sound familiar? Unlike California (and other states, where marijuana prohibition is becoming more relaxed), Montana legislators later imposed major restrictions in 2011, hampering marijuana businesses and patient access. It’s those restrictions that are subject to the outcome of a current Supreme Court case. l Tennis phenom Novak Djokovic took a break between sets at Montreal’s Rogers Cup recently to complain to the umpire about crowd interference. Djokovic had won the first set, and would go on to win the second, but not without overcoming the racket-dulling effects of marijuana smoke wafting across the stadium.

“Someone is smoking weed, I can smell it, I’m getting dizzy,” Djokovic complained, according to a Sydney Morning Herald report. And it wasn’t the first time — a few days prior, he’d been bothered by a toker during a doubles match. “Somebody’s really enjoying his life around the tennis court,” Djokovic said. l

Choosing The Right Medical Cannabis

Can be confusing at first with so many different and unusual names and choices. That being said, it is much easier to find a medical cannabis product that will work for you once you have figured out what your desired effect is.

We are learning so much more about this wonderful plant all the time. We now know that aspects of cannabis such as the flavor, contributes to the effect. Remember, “The nose knows” – So trust your instincts and keep a personal cannabis journal to note how certain strains affect you. One very important factor in choosing the right medicine for yourself is that each strain has a limit to the amount and type of cannabiniods that can be received by your body at a certain time. This is why you gain a tolerance faster to certain strains and others seem to medicate the same way for longer. By choosing to use different strains, and different methods of ingestions, such as using edibles or vaporizing, it is easier to keep your cannabiniod receptors fresh and ready to be activated by the next type of medicine you are using. This will help you conserve your medicine and get the maximum effect from it, and it can also help to reach the desired cannabiniod balance you are looking for. Each patient has an individual reaction to each type of medicine tried, and experimentation with different types of strains and methods of use is essential for the new patient.

In very little time, you’ll be able to determine what works best for you. We are here to help you find what will work best for your needs. Please feel free to come to us with any questions or concerns. We believe in the “Heart of Humboldt” and professional and compassionate care is what you will always receive here.

et’s face it: As bike commutes go, five to six miles of flat terrain is about as good as it gets. Enough distance to count as exercise, no challenging hills, not so far as to add an undue amount of time to the work day.

Plus I get to bike over SEEMS EXCESSIVE, RIGHT? Mad River Slough PHOTO BY JENNIFER SAVAGE and through the Arcata Bottoms, so plenty of flora and fauna to enjoy along the way. The only drawback to riding my bike from my house in Manila to my office in Arcata is the lack of a safe, well-maintained way to get there.

Option 1: Ride along State Route 255 the entire way. Pros: Most direct, smooth-

est road. Cons: Between Jackson Ranch Road and V Street, a cyclist has maybe 18 inches of shoulder to pedal in as cars and trucks roar by at 55-plus mph.

Option 2: Take 255 to Old Samoa Road, then turn right and ride through the farmlands to V Street. Pros: Less chance of death, bucolic, only adds half a mile to the commute. Cons: Road is in terrible shape, gravel in some stretches.

Option 3: Take 255 to Jackson Ranch Road, turn left and ride through the Bottoms to Foster, etc. Pros: Less chance of death, bucolic, road isn’t as torn up as Old

Samoa. Cons: Adds over a mile to the commute, can be stinky, rough roads, potholes.

Today I rode the whole way on the highway, which turned out to be surprisingly less traffic-y than usual — not one single car or truck came close to hitting me. Yes, it’s sad that the state of bicycle commuting in Humboldt is such that simply not being hit by an errant driver feels miraculous, but even more sad is the number of deaths and injuries that make such concern warranted.

I chose that route because I was running late. Packing for the day is more challenging when I have to transfer everything to panniers instead of simply hucking my various sundries into the backseat. Especially when I’m trying to be good about bringing lunch and because I get all sweaty riding and need to shower at my office building (yay for showers at the office building!).

I’d slept in a bit, which meant by the time I rolled out of bed, the day had already progressed to 7 a.m. Before leaving, I had to make tea, make breakfast, make lunch and remember to pack: towel, dress, bra, underwear, sandals, earrings, mascara, moisturizer, laptop, power cord, notebook, purse, phone charger, phone, sunglasses, jar with the beet salad I’d made, container full of strawberries and peas for a snack — it felt ridiculous, like I was doing something wrong. There’s got to be a way to travel lighter.

It didn’t help that I stopped to not

only compulsively organize this week’s farm share produce into a separate veggie drawer from last week’s, but also was compelled to leave my husband an illustration about what to eat first — look, I just got back into town and these things are important. We can’t let the vegetables go bad.

By 8:12 a.m., I was ready to roll.

The ride itself was uneventful. Besides the mild traffic, the gray morning and low tide muted what is sometimes a brilliant scene of blue and green.

Not that I minded — the lack of glare and cool weather were welcome antidotes to the 109 degree heat I’d experienced in Sacramento the day before. The most notable moment was when I turned from 10th Street onto N and immediately started weaving like a maniac to avoid the potholes and worst parts of the road ... before I noticed the cop car waiting at the stop sign on Ninth. I suppose I didn’t look too sketchy, however, in my fancy bike pants and snazzy helmet, so my potential brush with the law was averted.

And the only things I forgot, since I didn’t drive, were my office keys.

Number of miles ridden: 5.6 Time traveled: 25:27 minutes Number of roadkill passed: 2 Number of times actively feared for life: 0

As Coastal Programs Director for the Northcoast Environmental Center, reluctant cyclist Jennifer Savage wants to be a better environmentalist, hence the bike commuting commitment.

A flawed system, a prosecutor’s error and a man who fears he will harm children again

BY GRANT SCOTT-GOFORTH grant@northcoastjournal.com

I

t was a Thursday afternoon in Courtroom Four of the Humboldt County Superior Courthouse and Deputy District Attorney Andrew Isaac was frustrated.

Isaac told Judge Timothy Cissna that a month earlier he had begun the process of trying to designate Drew Stonebarger, a 26-year-old Humboldt County man, as a sexually violent predator — a designation that could lead to a lifelong commitment to a state hospital. Stonebarger had just completed a six-year state prison sentence for the very sexual offense that could qualify him for the determination.

The prosecutor needed three things: an order to transport Stonebarger to the

Humboldt County jail, an order to commit him there, and a petition to begin the civil trial that would determine if Stonebarger would be committed indefinitely to a state hospital.

Two of those were signed by another Humboldt County judge. Stonebarger sat in the courtroom that day in May having been housed in the jail since his release from a state prison in the Central Valley on April 5. But the court had no record of a petition to begin the civil process to commit Stonebarger, despite Isaac’s repeated declarations that he had submitted that paperwork as well.

“There has clearly been a deviance from the normal order of things and how

18 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • THURSDAY, AUG. 20, 2015 • northcoastjournal.com

the paperwork was processed,” Isaac said.

“But I know what I handed to the judge, and it’s what I hand the judge every time. … So the petition was filed. Apparently I can’t prove that.”

But the judge in question — Dale Reinholtsen — told Cissna he’d never seen the petition, much less signed it.

David Lee, Stonebarger’s public defender, was also frustrated. State code governing the sexually violent predator (SVP) designation process says that it must begin while the prisoner is serving his or her sentence, Lee said. But the DA’s office had petitioned for an extension, which allowed it to hold Stonebarger for 45 additional days while the proceedings were

sorted out. Now, more than 45 days later, there still was no evidence the district attorney’s office had filed the proper paperwork.

“They’ve got their 45-day grace period they asked for,” Lee told the court.

“They’ve got him in custody. They do not prosecute the case. They just don’t do anything on the case. They don’t even file the petition.”

Isaac, the prosecutor, responded, “Is the paperwork in the condition it should be? No, it’s not. … There is a potential loophole here because, let’s say, I got sloppy with my job. … But this is serious continued on next page

business, and we should proceed on that basis, as opposed to saying, essentially, ‘You forgot to dot an “i” here.’”

Judge Cissna, overseeing the proceedings, agreed it was important — psychologists had determined that Stonebarger posed a threat to the community, that he exhibited the signs of pedophilic disorder.

“This is a really troubling case,” Cissna said. “On the one hand, Mr. Stonebarger may get out of custody immediately. On the other hand, he may never get out of custody for the rest of his life. And that’s a very important situation.”

But the bottom line, Cissna said, was that no petition had been filed, despite Isaac’s insistence. “I am aware of the seriousness of this matter and the seriousness of this ruling,” he said. “But I have to follow the law, as I expect everyone else to.”

Stonebarger had been sentenced to state prison in 2010 on one count of committing a lewd act upon a child. In a February interview with a psychologist, he said he feared release, afraid that he might again endanger children. Two psychologists determined him likely to re-offend but, on May 29, he walked out of the Humboldt County jail a free man.

Stonebarger’s case

highlights a number of issues with the state’s sexually violent predator laws, as well as the way they’re handled in rural communities like Humboldt County. For 20 years, California has been evaluating people convicted of certain sex crimes, assessing their risk of re-offending. If two psychologists agree that someone exhibits qualifying mental disorders — typically paraphilia or “deviant sexual urges” — the Department of State Hospitals can recommend the person be tried as a sexually violent predator.

It doesn’t apply to all sexual offenses — the “vast majority” of sexual offenders are not considered SVPs, according to the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office. To be considered sexually violent, the underlying crime must be assaultive, involving “force, violence, duress, menace or threats of immediate bodily injury or threats of future retaliation against a person,” or must be perpetrated against a child.

Anyone who commits a sexual assault can be evaluated as an SVP — though in order for an evaluation to occur, he or she must be serving time in prison.

While relatively uncommon locally, the state seems overburdened with the process of evaluating, housing and treating people deemed SVPs. The civil process for SVPs is taxing for small communities. And

20 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • THURSDAY, AUG. 20, 2015 • northcoastjournal.com

public defenders say the system is problematic: Often, people who have completed a sentence for their crimes find themselves committed to a state hospital, likely for the rest of their lives.

California’s sexually violent predator law took effect in 1995, and has been amended several times since then, including by ballot initiative with the so-called “Jessica’s Law” in 2006, which broadened the scope of crimes that would qualify someone for the SVP designation.

The law outlines a civil process to commit offenders determined to be sexually violent predators to a state hospital.

Toward the end of a prisoner’s sentence for a crime, he or she (there is only one female SVP in the entire state system) is evaluated by two state-contracted psychologists. If they agree that the person is at risk to reoffend — if he or she exhibits signs of mental illness associated with sex crimes — that recommendation is sent to the district attorney in the county where the person was originally convicted.

Then, at the district attorney’s discretion, the county can hold a civil trial to determine if the person should be designated an SVP. If a jury finds that’s the case, the defendant is held indefinitely at Coalinga State Hospital, pending completion of a treatment program or a ruling that he or she is no longer a threat to the community.

It’s an imperfect process, as illustrated by the Humboldt County DA’s office’s recent mishap and statewide statistics.

Right around the same time District Attorney Maggie Fleming was notified

about Stonebarger’s pending release, her office received word that another man convicted of a sex crime in Humboldt County, Delbert Derryberry, was due to be released from prison on a coming Sunday. Fleming’s office was notified on a Thursday, effectively giving attorneys one day to compile and have a judge sign off on the necessary paperwork: orders to commit and transport the prisoner, and a petition to begin the SVP trial process.

Derryberry’s paperwork was completed, Fleming said, and he awaits civil trial.

It’s unclear why Deputy DA Isaac’s petition for Drew Stonebarger never made it into the court record. He insisted, according to court transcripts, that he followed the same petition process he has every time. And Fleming, more recently, confirmed that the petition was indeed presented, according to her office’s record-keeping system. (How the system could be at odds with the court file and Reinholtsen’s recollection is unclear.) In any event, without a file-stamped copy with a judge’s signature in court records, and with an overdue release, Stonebarger was freed.

Whatever misfired in the Stonebarger case, Fleming said the bigger problem is that the state hospital’s department is often late in notifying district attorneys’ offices that an SVP qualifying prisoner is due for parole.

From now on, Fleming said, her attorneys handling SVPs will go through the court clerk’s office to get paperwork OK’d, rather than going to the judge directly (which is how the process is supposed to

Currently, only 15 of the 575 people at Coalinga are enrolled in the treatment program, according to Montaño.

The rest languish there, with, if the statistics continue to hold, little hope of ever being released. work to prevent these types of situations).

The DA’s office will compile a comprehensive list of everyone it has ever sent to prison on an SVP-qualifying offense, so that Fleming can notify the state hospital system well in advance to begin the evaluation process. Those convictions could go back decades, she said, and it will be time-consuming to create the list. “That’s the only other process I can think of to make sure that this never happens again,” she said.

She said SVP prosecution in her office will now fall to Deputy DAs, Zachary Curtis and Brie Bennett, because Isaac used up his part-time allocation as a retired annuitant attorney for the year.

The state district attorney’s association will also take up the issue of late notices with the department of corrections, Fleming said, particularly on behalf of small, rural counties like Humboldt, where it creates a particular burden. “Why we would have two-to-three day’s notice is absurd,” she said.

The state’s SVP framework is

complicated and overwhelmed, creating stresses on nearly everyone involved: the departments of corrections and hospitals, psychologists who perform evaluations, public defenders, prosecutors, prisoners awaiting potential commitment and those already incarcerated.

From 2010 to 2014, the state Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation referred more than 25,000 inmates to the departments of Mental Health and State Hospitals. Of those referrals, officials said 6,859 prisoners warranted full evaluations by psychiatrists, resulting in 194 civil commitment trials and 63 individuals committed, according to numbers provided by the Department of State Hospitals.

It’s unclear why so few referrals end up in hospitalization, considering how difficult critics say civil SVP commitment trials

are to defend. But there are still hundreds of people serving indefinite sentences under the law.

The entire population of SVP detainees in California is 576, nearly every one of them housed at Coalinga State Hospital, a maximum security facility, where they’re offered a voluntary treatment program.

Five of those detainees were convicted in Humboldt County. Ralph Montaño, a spokesperson for the Department of State Hospitals, said there are two ways that SVP detainees can be released.

One is by judicial review — Coalinga’s prisoners are legally entitled to annual reviews, which involve more psychological evaluations. If a judge decides one of them no longer meets the qualifications of a sexually violent predator, he or she is released “practically immediately.” That is rare. Sixty-three people have been released unconditionally in the last five years, according to Montaño.

Also rare is release through the voluntary treatment program; just 32 in the 20 years the program’s been operating. Nine of them later broke the conditions of their release and were re-committed to the hospital or prison.

The voluntary treatment program consists of a variety of pro-social trainings and exercises. “[Department of State Hospitals] offers a diverse program that includes group therapy and individual therapy as well as physical, social and creative opportunities,” Montaño said.

The Department of State Hospitals website says the treatment program’s practitioners don’t seek a “cure”, but try to teach patients to manage their risk of re-offending.

Currently, only 15 of the 576 people at Coalinga are enrolled in the treatment program, according to Montaño. The rest languish there, with, if the statistics continued on next page

continue to hold, little hope of ever being released.

The program is not without controversy. In 2008, the Los Angeles Times reported that the state payed $24 million to contract psychiatrists who were churning out SVP evaluations after the passage of Jessica’s Law. The state said it would bring in more employees and use fewer contractors.

Just a few months ago — shortly after a psychologist evaluated Drew Stonebarger and recommended him for SVP designation — California’s auditor released a report criticizing the Department of State Hospitals, saying its SVP evaluations are inconsistent.

“The audit also found that evaluators lack clinical supervision and training, and that Coalinga has a ‘significant backlog’ of annual evaluations that violates the rights of patients,” a March article in the Times reads.

The state is still having difficulty attracting staff psychologists, according to the audit, and may again turn to contractors, the Times reported. As to the inconsistencies, the audit found that “the protocol does not give guidance on specific risk assessment approaches or list specific risk assessment instruments evaluators may choose to use,” leaving much to the interpretation of the individual psychologists, increasing the potential for vast variations in evaluation methods.

That’s one of the main concerns of Kevin Robinson, Humboldt County’s public defender, who wrote an article in 2008 for the California Public Defender Association’s journal saying SVP law was “creating havoc” in the criminal justice system. He said it was destroying the idea of determinate criminal sentences and blurred the distinction between criminal and civil law, eroding civil liberties. He also wrote that it was harming the credibility of forensic psychiatry and creating an “unfunded and unending” pool of inmates who weren’t receiving treatment.

The law, Robinson wrote, shows “California is in the process of creating its own class of incarcerated persons without any rights or privileges, similar to the enemy combatants housed at overseas facilities.”

Robinson railed against the risk assessment employed by psychologists, saying the risk doesn’t need to meet the legal standard of being proven beyond a reasonable doubt, and that general recidivism statistics shouldn’t be used to determine the risk an individual poses to reoffend, as the background and mental health of each offender is unique.

David Lee, the county conflict counsel

attorney who represented Stonebarger, declined to comment specifically on that case but echoed many of Robinson’s concerns. “My personal view is that it is junk science; predictability cannot be quantified sufficiently to make it a humane or just process,” Lee wrote in an email.

Robinson’s opinion on the subject hasn’t changed much since he wrote the 2008 report. Despite the fact that less than 1 percent of CDCR referrals for SVPs typically result in committals, he said it’s difficult to defend SVP civil trials.

While in criminal cases prosecutors can be forced to refer to a defendant by his or her name, Robinson said prosecutors in SVP cases can refer to the defendant as a “sexually violent predator” — because of the state evaluation — during much of the proceedings, including jury selection.

That just adds to a jury’s fear of releasing a “predator” into the public, which is already difficult to overcome, Robinson said.

“That’s always what we fight with,” Robinson said. “[The defendant] might have a presumption of innocence, but when you talk to people they say, ‘Where there’s smoke there’s fire.’ That whole presumption is very compelling and hard to deal with. Especially with terms like ‘sexually violent predator.’”

Lee said he represents SVP defendants once every two or three years, though he used to do it more often, and he agreed that it’s difficult.

“Juries necessarily hear terrible things about our clients’ past behaviors and then are asked to free them over a state’s expert saying they will offend again,” he wrote. “More defense victories probably result from procedural oversights or technicalities than on the merits.”

Fleming, who took over as DA in January, is a staunch supporter of the state SVP program. “I think the welfare and institutions code that governs the SVP convictions is a very good law,” she said, adding that amendments making it more powerful have been positive for public safety.

Fleming said the purpose of the SVP process was to ensure treatment, though there are shortcomings, considering the large population of SVP inmates not participating in programs designed to prevent them from reoffending. “I think, like with any other treatment program, the person has to be willing to participate in order to alter the behavior that makes them a danger to the public. Having done these trials, I can say it’s individuals who don’t think they have a problem. And that’s really at the root of the problem.”

northcoastjournal “It’s important, too,” Fleming added, “that while we receive evaluations done by two experts, ultimately it’s a jury that determines beyond a reasonable doubt that an individual should be classified as an SVP.” But how does one determine a risk — or the likelihood of something happening in the future — beyond a reasonable doubt?

Drew Stonebarger’s

SVP evaluation, which consists of risk assessments and two interviews with psychologists, is at turns sympathetic and chilling.

Born in Arcata and raised in Blue Lake, Stonebarger didn’t appear to lead a noteworthy childhood. Then he began getting into trouble. He was accused of vandalism and trespassing at age 11 or 12. At 14, he was suspected of sexual misconduct with a 4-year-old girl, an allegation that investigators deemed inconclusive.

At 16, he was arrested and accused of sexually molesting “at least one of his stepsisters and step nieces,” according to the evaluation by psychologist Dale Arnold. He was made a ward of the court and underwent a two-year sex offender treatment program for juveniles in Redding, which he successfully completed.

But by then he was adrift. His crime “undoubtedly contributed to his estrangement from his family,” according to the report, and he had a string of short-lived attempts at jobs and school, as well as arrests for public intoxication and petty theft. Homeless at 21, he befriended a family who let him stay at their house a couple nights a week. It was there, after a night of drinking, that he was accused of touching the family’s sleeping 6-year-

old daughter briefly before she woke up and asked him to stop. He stopped and apologized, but her brother reported the incident to their parents, who turned Stonebarger in.

In 2010, he was convicted of one count of committing a lewd act upon a child and sentenced to six years in prison. He would serve about five and a half.

Stonebarger’s crime qualified him for a sexually violent predator designation because it was committed against a person under the age of 14, and his evaluator opined that Stonebarger meets the diagnostic criteria for pedophilic and alcohol-use disorders.

In his interview with the psychologist, Stonebarger comes off at times thoughtful and overwhelmed. He told Arnold it was stress that caused him to lose his way with attempts at school and jobs.

He feared leaving prison and the structure it provided, telling Arnold “being dropped on the street would be incredibly stressful” and reiterating “how worried he was about being able to successfully transition into the community,” according to the evaluation. “On top of the fact that Mr. Stonebarger’s last performance on community supervision was quite poor, he will now have to register [as a sex offender] and will be subject to community notification. Mr. Stonebarger is at a complete loss as to how he will manage these additional stressors that he [did] not have to face in the past.”

Stonebarger’s case represents the problems that the state’s lawmakers, voters and law enforcers have in dealing with the perpetrators of sex crimes. As it stands, there seems to be little middle continued on next page northcoastjournal.com • NORTH COAST JOURNAL • THURSDAY, AUG. 20, 2015

He said, ‘I don’t believe I should be around children, I fear for children when I am around them. There are things I do and I can’t explain why.’ ground between lifelong incarceration and a largely unstructured release into society.

Stonebarger told Arnold he was “quite content” at Soledad State Prison during the first several years of his sentence, because he could play Dungeons & Dragons with friends in the yard for seven hours a day. Though the Central Valley Correctional Facility is considered a “preferred facility,” Stonebarger was apparently less happy after he was transferred there in 2013, because he lost that friendly community.

He told Arnold he wanted help reintroducing to the community outside prison, but feared a lifelong hospital commitment. And, in the report’s perhaps most telling moment, Stonebarger expresses a combination of self-awareness and doubt.

“He said he was confused because he had undergone two years of intensive therapy and that the problem was solved.

He said, ‘I don’t believe I should be around children, I fear for children when I am around them. There are things I do and I can’t explain why.’ He opined he believes he needs therapy to help with his problems. He stated, ‘I need to make myself safe for other people.’”

The Journal was unable to reach Stonebarger. Lee, his appointed attorney in the SVP case, did not have contact information for him, and the state parole office said it does not set up interviews with parolees. It’s unclear where he is now. The state’s sex offender database lists him as a transient.

Fleming said

her office notified the victim’s family that Stonebarger was recently released. If he violates parole — a condition of which is to obey all laws — the SVP proceedings can be resumed, even if the violation of parole was nonsexual. That’s another provision of the law that bothers Robinson — that once you’ve committed an SVP-qualifying sexual offense, you’re marked for life — and he ends his 2008 report with a suggestion

24 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • THURSDAY, AUG. 20, 2015 • northcoastjournal.com

for his fellow public defenders: “For the criminal defense lawyer defending a person charged with a sexual offense … [he or she] probably should advise his or her client that he may spend the rest of his life involuntarily confined if convicted and at some later time sent to prison, no matter [whether] the prison commitment is determined appropriate for the underlying offense.”

Any sort of perceived latitude for sex offenders — particularly those deemed pedophiles or predators — is political poison in California. Perhaps that’s why lawmakers acted quietly when they recently softened restrictions in Jessica’s Law that prohibited sex offenders from living near community fixtures, making it difficult for them to live in many cities.

Lee said sex offender laws that give an “aura of fairness” are unassailable.

“These kind of offenders are widely despised and are thus subjected to emotionally charged overreaching and piling on by legislators, voters and even appellate courts,” he wrote. “Truly cynical observers might say it’s a scam to add years (usually a lifetime) to a sentence after a defendant pleads or is convicted. The net effect is that imprisonment is extended far beyond what was expected or even allowed at the time of the offense or conviction.”

Still, it’s clear the state needs an effective way to treat or commit people who, sometimes by their own admission, are a danger to their communities. Stonebarger, for example, craved a structured re-entry into society, but no such thing existed. Of course, lacking evidence, there’s no guarantee that re-entry programs would be sufficient to protect communities from potential predators. Through commitment, the statistics show, Stonebarger was unlikely to get the treatment that would allow him to ever leave the state hospital in Coalinga. Instead, due to a clerical error, he’s been shown the door to a world he fears will lead him to re-offend. l

It’s all there.

By Carrie Peyton Dahlberg tabletalk@northcoastjournal.com

lmost every weekend for more than a year, Scott Misener’s aging pickup truck has bumped and clanged along a twisting dirt road to a metal shed high on a ridge in Fruitland.

There, Misener has milled and mashed, hopped and hoped.

Now he’s about to find out whether Humboldt’s beer drinkers approve.

Misener is making the transition from hobbyist to commercial brewer, introducing his Ridge Rd. Brewing Co. this weekend at Hops in Humboldt. His will be the county’s seventh brewery and its most southerly, based about 10 miles northeast of Myers Flat.

He’s starting about as small as a brewer can, pouring three beers at the festival and arranging to offer his brews at a handful of bars and restaurants soon after. He’s got no tasting room, no growler sales and at the moment, no outlets that are confirmed solidly enough to name them in print.

He’s got beer, though. Twenty-four barrels of it, with more production planned later this month.

I met Misener on a smoke-hazed afternoon at his home in Fortuna, where his truck, “Mud Crud,” was loaded with kegs that make the clattering trips to his brother’s property in Fruitland. He is lean and soft-spoken. I could envision him offering quietly practical advice during his day job as Fortuna store manager for Northcoast Horticulture Supply. Misener squinted into the sun as he talked about the almost meditative calm of brewing in Fruitland, the peacefulness of that ridge, the ingredients from the land. The malt in his

m.northcoastjournal.com Cinder imperial stout is smoked with local oak. Juniper berries and spruce tips bitter his Comet Oorbier double hefeweizen.

There was no time for us to visit his brewing venue; he was getting ready for a Lake Tahoe vacation, and when he returns he’ll be juggling brewing with work and family time with his wife and their 6-year-old daughter. Since Ridge Rd. beer can’t be purchased anywhere yet — Misener plans a tasting room and bottling line in 2016 — he handed me a cardboard box full of sample bottles.

They were capped in all colors and identified mostly with plain white labels he’s used when testing his recipes on family and friends. The exception was a name scrawled on duct tape — a backwoods look Misener likes for a rice, corn and cane sugar concoction he calls Redneck Ale. Fully packed, complete with instructions on which bottle-conditioned beers should be opened over the sink for worry-free foaming, this box looked like a great excuse for a beer tasting.

I called on friends and relations, and set the stage with every little glass I could find, along with water, snacks, pens and Misener’s descriptions of each brew. The consensus?

Most of us preferred the darker Ridge Rd. beers, and we noticed that across the board they seemed lighter than other beers we’ve drunk in the same styles.

A wee heavy Scotch ale called Great Scot! won the day. It’s a style that tends toward higher alcohol and more sweetcontinued on next page

ness than regular Scotch ales, and the Ridge Rd. version is especially smooth and satisfying, quaffable despite an alcohol content Misener estimates at 9.5 percent.

“Make this their signature beer,” my friend Thom said. He was ready to buy a six pack. Amy liked an imperial stout called Kaiser Dick — “Creamy, chocolatey, the one I would drink happily.” The three beers that Misener has chosen to highlight at Hops in Humboldt, a pale ale, a kolsch and the quirky Redneck ale, didn’t make the top of anyone’s list. The quickly assembled box might have included some off bottles, though, so I’m not sure the samples were fully representative.

If you’re going to Hops in Humboldt, you’ll have a chance to taste for yourself. And if not, just keep an eye on restaurant and bar menus. Misener is planning on Kaiser Dick as a winter release and Great Scot! for spring. Along with an English Special Bitter he calls simply “The Special,” those three are my favorites from Ridge Rd. — so far.

Legally Blonde: The Musical at Ferndale Rep

By Kate Haley

f you’re much over the age of 13, you’ve likely been there at least once — that place where we are so madly in love and so wildly convinced that it is both true and enduring that we are willing to undertake absolutely any action in its pursuit. It isn’t the most logical of places, nor the healthiest, but it is certainly relatable.

When we just know that Cupid’s arrow has struck true, we surprise ourselves with what we can accomplish in our

attempts to make it all end in a happily ever after.

Legally Blonde follows perky-in-pink protagonist Elle Woods as she works her way from Malibu party girl to Harvard Law prep, all in the name of love. Applying her signature style to any challenge, she proves to everyone that she’s also accessorizing with some serious smarts. With the help of her own chorus of sorority sisters, some loyal friends and a whole lot of pink, Elle manages to come out on

top of life and love. The musical, adapted from the 2001 film, spends much of its time reveling in stereotype-laden humor.

While the story follows the traditional romantic comedy formula of people facing challenges and learning and growing along the way, the script never hesitates to go for the quick and easy laugh. As a result, the characters grow but the humor remains adolescent. In Ferndale Rep’s production, it is a good reminder that while a good script cannot overcome lackluster performances, a mediocre one can succeed with the efforts of a sincere and dedicated cast.

As Elle, actress Jessie Rawson exudes a buoyant charm, a natural sweetness and innocence, all of which lend themselves to the part. As a singer, she handles ballads with special ease and the show provides more than one chance for her to show off. Director Molly Severdia amply manages to motivate a large ensemble, placing actors in comfortably fitting roles.

In a production that is overflowing with glitz and glam, it is the more down-toearth characters that manage to stand out. As Elle’s beautician friend Paulette, actress Sarah Blair Seidt is delightful. Her capable voice and strong grasp of the role and its particular humor has the audience as engaged in her side story as it is in the outcome for Elle. (Though this is certainly helped by Dante Gelormino’s passionate portrayal of Paulette’s package-delivering paramour.) The program lists some offbeat names as well; that would be Beanie Boo and Lady Sansa, the two canine cast members. It is a unique and extreme challenge working with live animals on stage and, while they are certainly more cameos than lead roles, the fact that the cast and crew have taken on wrangling two dogs is an impressive and laudable feat.

The production makes use of recorded music — a logical decision for the show, the score is primarily high-energy pop — but skipping a live band means a lack of flexibility to adjust key and timing. The upbeat choreography, by Anthony Hughes

and Molly Severdia, has the whole ensemble skipping and snapping all over the stage. Of particular note is the impressively in-synch jump rope number “Whipped into Shape,” featuring Jessie Shieman in the role of fitness guru Brooke. The entire show is highlighted by massive costuming work by Kevin Sharkey, who has produced a profusion of pink, sparkles and spandex.

The set, designed by Raymond Gutierrez, is every Barbie’s dream house, fully bedecked in swirling lights and twinkling hearts. It works well to set the mood but the number of set pieces and changes clearly have the cast scrambling. However, if the scene changes seem clunky, they are balanced by effortless costume changes — there are quite a few of them, many done quickly.

Overall, the show is a silly, fun romp that works because the actors believe in what they are doing. A feminist epic it is not, but it certainly makes for a carefree evening out. Legally Blonde continues at Ferndale Rep through Sept. 6, with performances Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets are $18 general admission, $16 for students and seniors. For more information, call 786-5483.

Sea Fairing

The Humboldt County Fair has been thrilling kids, feeding folks and awarding Best in Show ribbons for 119 years. 119 years, people. That’s a lot of cotton candy. The fair flings open its gates Aug. 20 through Aug. 30 and welcomes you to enjoy 10 jam-packed days of all the fair food fun you can stomach ($8, $6 seniors, $4 kids 6-12, free to kids under 6).

This year’s theme is “All Aboard — A Salute to our Coastal Heritage,” and includes special days like Everything Humboldt on Monday, Aug. 24 and Tuesday, Aug. 25, when you can browse arts, crafts, foods and products, pick over the produce at the farmers market and enjoy live music by the Lyndsey Battle Trio and Humboldt Harmonaires. On Wednesday, Aug. 26 the fair goes Everything Coastal with Mayor of Flavortown Guy Fieri heading up the Surf and Turf Barbecue Contest in the grandstand from noon to 5 p.m. Later that night, he’s emceeing the Battle of the Bands on the midway stage at 7 p.m. Cowboy action takes over the Grandstand with the Bull-O-Rama on Thursday, Aug. 27 at 7 p.m. ($10, free for kids under 6) and kids Games like mutton bustin’, animal scramble, sack races and more at 5:30 p.m. (free).

In addition to horse racing at the track ($3), you can catch Cavallo Equestrian Arts, Popovich Pet Theater, Live Stingray Encounter, Lucha Libre Wrestlers, sheepdog trials, pony rides, camel rides and the World Record Balloon Stunt Show. Then head inside to tour the exhibits and vendors showing everything from livestock to flowers, baked goods to fine arts. And let’s not forget the carnival, open each day from noon to 10 p.m. Local bands Don’s Neighbors, Eureka Brass Band, Uptown Kings, Buckshot Possum and others take the stage, too. And then there’s the food — not just corndogs and funnel cake, but fancier fare like apple crisp with warm whiskey cream from Sweet Basil Bistro.

MY GOD, WE LOOK GOOD.

GQ and G

U.N.C.L.E. vs. N.W.A.

By John J. Bennett filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. I’ve spent far more than my share of idle afternoons watching and re-watching Guy Ritchie’s Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) and Snatch (2000). Regardless, Ritchie’s first two movies ushered in a period of fairly intense British crime cinema viewership in my life. That his works in particular would serve as the gateway makes sense now: They represent a sort of modernized, American-influenced pastiche of the couple of decades of UK gangster movies that preceded them. At the time, of course, they seemed like something completely new and different, something that spoke directly to us. Ah, youth …

Those first two Ritchie pictures still hold up, even if their influences and tricks have by now long been revealed. The writer/director stalled out a bit in the middle of his career, first with the universally reviled Swept Away (2002), a remake engineered as a star vehicle for Ritchie’s then-wife Madonna. He followed that disaster with the lower-profile but nonsensical, pretentious and thus perhaps even worse Revolver (2005), then settled back down into RocknRolla (2008), which more or less plays like a low-resolution copy of a Ritchie picture. The years since then have been good to ol’ Guy, sending Robert Downey Jr. and Sherlock Holmes his way and allowing him to reinvent himself as a director of blockbusters.

This brings us, in its circuitous course, to The Man from U.N.C.L.E: an enjoyable, sexy, lavish production, the existence of which is almost incomprehensible. Set just post-Cuban missile crisis, U.N.C.L.E is based on a 1960s TV series centered on the unlikely alliance of top-flight CIA and KGB operatives Napoleon Solo (Henry Cavill) and Ilya Kuryakin (Armie Hammer). Solo and Kuryakin represent the active arm of an uneasy détente brokered to locate and capture some nuclear secrets that have fallen into the wrong hands. In the process, they will of course have to rescue and enlist the aid of Gaby Teller (Alicia Vikander), an expert mechanic and driver whose estranged father happens to be the keeper of the aforementioned nuclear secrets. The plot really isn’t the thing, though, as much as it is a vehicle to transport the cast from East Berlin to the Italian Riviera in an array of seriously chic

clothes. The movie is beautifully appointed, from the costumes to the interiors to the cars and boats, but functionally does little more than present an opportunity for its makers to build a rather elaborate time capsule. Don’t get me wrong, I love spy movies and the aesthetic of this era. It impresses me that Ritchie, et al. were able to carry to its completion a period espionage actioner based on a TV show that precious few of the audience will know. But this is little more than an exercise in style; there are some missed opportunities for commentary on global politics, the friction between worldpowers is only a source for minor jokes and the plot is too familiar, too well-worn to sustain a contemporary movie, even one as breezy and good-looking as this. PG13. 116m.

STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON. It certainly doesn’t help The Man from U.N.C.L.E that its opening was slotted against this, maybe the most relevant, composed, stylistically self-assured movie of the year. Surely someone at the studio must have known.

Directed by F. Gary Gray (Friday, Law Abiding Citizen), Compton tracks the meteoric rise and flame-out of southern California rap powerhouse NWA in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Forged in the frustration of social injustice and violence on the streets of Compton, NWA is born primarily of the collaboration between fledgling producer/rapper Andre “Dr. Dre” Young (Corey Hawkins) and shockingly prolific writer/ rapper O’Shea “Ice Cube” Jackson (O’Shea Jackson Jr.). With the financial backing and front-man swagger of Eric “Eazy-E” Wright (Jason Mitchell) and accompaniment of Lorenzo “MC Ren” Patterson (Aldis Hodge) and Antoine “DJ Yella” Carraby (Neil Brown Jr.), NWA takes commentary on real life, set it to beats that knock and changed contemporary music. Before long, the group is playing arenas, raising the ire of the Moral Majority, pissing off the police and falling victim to financial infighting.

Gray’s fluid visual style, bolstered by the talents of cinematographer Matthew Libatique (Requiem for a Dream, Iron Man), suits the material, lending the movie a heightened vérité feeling that is immersive and naturalistic without sacrificing style. The principal actors are exceedingly well cast, and all give a sense of real life to people who by now are near-mythic figures on the contempo-

rary cultural landscape. And the soundtrack, well, it’s undeniable. The only disheartening thing about Straight Outta Compton is its real-world cultural context. The events depicted here took place a quarter-century ago, with the Rodney King tape playing in the background. As bracing and brazen and fun as the movie is, it also necessarily brings up the notion that some of our primary social problems — racial and economic disparity, incommensurate police violence — have gone largely unaddressed, instead festering and flaring in the decades that have passed.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the prop− erty. 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 infor− mation. 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, benefi− ciary, 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 cour− tesy 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 the trustee’s information line at 530−246−2727 or visit this Internet Web site: calforeclosures.biz, using the file number assigned to this case: TS # 15−2172.

Different strategies

I can be sure it’s summer now that I’ve seen two of my favorite butterflies.

Considered as a pair, they show two very

4

different survival strategies. One is gaudy, covered by nature with large clown eyes, the other is a very “plain Jane” butterfly.

You can see them both on any sunny summer or fall day.

Look for the buckeye (Junonia coenia) on Shasta daisies or almost any patch of blooming Himalaya berries. Their vivid eye spots may serve to protect them from predators, especially birds, by startling them. The size of those eyes is that of a much larger creature, and there are a lot of them. Fortunately, most birds can’t count. So, when it comes to eyes, I guess bigger and more is better. This species does not hide, but patrols and displays its vivid markings wherever it lands. It is common throughout North America.

At the other end of the spectrum is the least obtrusive butterfly I know, the California ringlet (Coenonympha tullia California). The upper side is a cream or sand color, which matches the tall dry grass where it usually hides. Every live photo I’ve seen of this small butterfly has its wings closed, showing pale gray-brown underside. Unlike the buckeye, its survival strategy seems to be camouflage rather than intimidation.

The species Coenonympha tullia is a widespread species throughout the northern hemisphere. The california appellation indicates our local subspecies. When I posted a photo from my backyard of the Ringlet on an entomological Facebook page, a fellow from Scotland posted one from there, which was indistinguishable from our locals.

Both are members of the family Nymphalidae so presumably had a common ancestor not too far back on the evolutionary tree. But they have obviously taken very different paths to success. l

ANTS HERDING APHIDS.

PHOTO BY ANTHONY WESTKAMPER

CROSSWORD by David Levinson Wilk

PHOTO BY ANTHONY WESTKAMPER

It rained the day before and the sky hung low and menacing over the warm, muggy, quiet clearing. Strangely, at that moment there were very few insects in a place I expected to see many. I was reminded of an old jungle movie. The words “It’s quiet — too quiet!” ran through my mind. Where were the bugs?

Just for something to do I took a shot of a thistle in perfect full bloom and my eye caught a dark spot behind a leaf axil.

It moved, so I looked harder. It was a fairly large ant, nearly half an inch long, herding a flock of aphids. I had read about this behavior. The ants diligently protect and care for their charges. In return, the aphids secrete a sweet substance called honeydew, which the ants eat.

If the ant workers are all female and the aphids are their cows, that makes them “Cowgirl ants.” Menace them with your finger and the ants will take a threatening pose, even attacking if you push it.

I took a few photos using the flash as supplemental illumination, finally returning my little camera to my pocket. It occurred to me to take another photo from a different angle. As I was retrieving the camera there was a flash. I thought I might have left it on until the flash I saw was followed by a very loud crack of thunder. Alone in an open clearing, I decided to let that last shot go and hustled out of there only to get drenched by rain on the way.

I guess the rest of those insects knew the storm was coming.
