Editor: Thank you for Heidi’s enlightening cover story, “Merv’s World” (Sept. 11). If there was ever a more all-around role model, Merv George would be challenging that person for first place. I am envious beyond reason and I plan to share this article broadly. As small farmers, my wife and I are fortunate to have an acre on Carpenter Lane at the north end of the Hoopa Valley. We have an orchard and a vegetable garden. My wife keeps bees. Our neighbors are Green Fire Farm and Lost Coast Winery’s vineyards. The rich alluvial soil that the Trinity River has deposited over the centuries and the cool evenings offered by the coastal proximity provide this valley with absolutely perfect growing conditions. If I ever get the opportunity to meet Merv George I will tell him how much I admire and respect him. Then I will take the opportunity to encourage him to encourage his people to embrace agriculture within their valley. The resource is there. The valley is fertile. The river flows through. Roy Henry Marin, Eureka

‘The People’s Election’
A retrospective look at the supes’ campaign finance proposal By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com
A
local professor is fond of saying politics is essentially choosing who gets what, when, where and how. If that’s the case, then the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors is in the process of deciding what its members will get, when they will get it and how they will get it when it’s time for them to run for re-election as the board continues wrangling with a proposed campaign finance ordinance. In essence, the supervisors are setting the rules for how their re-election bids will be financed, which will dictate how much they have to spend on radio, television and newspaper advertising, lawn signs, paid campaign staff and just about every other aspect of their quest to retain public office. The board has long been in the process of considering some type of campaign finance reform for county elections and recently assigned a subcommittee consisting of Fourth District Supervisor Virginia Bass and Fifth District Supervisor Ryan Sundberg to draft a proposed ordinance. But, apparently, First District Supervisor and Board Chair Rex Bohn got impatient, as he agendized the item for the supervisors’ Sept. 9 meeting, proposing the board scrap the subcommittee and direct staff to come back with an ordinance loosely modeled after Sonoma County’s. At the meeting, the board’s conversation meandered, wandering through the nuance of a complex set of laws and court rulings that govern such ordinances. Bohn, who said he figured it was time to force the issue because it’s “slack time” in local elections, said he was looking for a way to “cap contributions so we can take outside interests out of the equation,” later adding that those “big money donations” aren’t representative of the community as a whole, yet have the power to shift elections.
Second District Supervisor Estelle Fennell essentially agreed, saying the public perception is that certain deep-pocketed groups and individuals hold undue sway over the process. “When you think about the general feeling that we want campaign finance reform, I think a lot of that reflects what we see on a national scale, especially when we hear about these gigantic political action committees and super PACs and the massive influence they have on national politics … Of course, then people tend to bring that down to a local level and say, ‘Oh, all that’s happening here,’ and I don’t know that’s the case,” she said. “We need to give some kind of assurance that there’s a level playing field.” Exactly what constitutes a level playing field and how to get there was the topic of more than an hour of debate by the board, which ultimately voted 4-1, with Third District Supervisor Mark Lovelace dissenting, to direct staff to craft an ordinance that prohibits candidates from accepting more than $1,500 from a single donor in a primary election and more than an additional $1,500 in the event of a runoff. While a $1,500 donation might seem like “big money” in a county with a median annual household income of $40,830, according to the U.S. Census — it is 3.7 percent of the median — it’s clearly not by Bohn’s definition, as he repeatedly referred to donations of $5,000, $10,000 and beyond as the ones he was seeking to prohibit. In casting his “no vote,” Lovelace said he preferred a $500 donation cap (like those in place in San Diego, San Francisco and Santa Clara counties) and a voluntary spending limit of $50,000, which would rein in overall spending and stop the trend of six-figure campaigns. His ideas got little traction among his colleagues. continued on page 8

Staff is expected to bring back a proposed ordinance in the next few weeks, at which point supervisors said they will seek more public input and continue the discussion. In the meantime, the Journal decided to pore through some recent campaign finance disclosure forms to see how the proposed ordinance may have impacted recent supervisorial elections, had it been in place. A few months ago, county voters reelected Sundberg and Bass. In the Fifth District, Sundberg raised a total of $90,769 in cash donations to fend of challenger Sharon Latour, who culled together just $12,003 in cash donations. Sundberg received a total of 12 donations of more than $1,500 and, had the proposed ordinance been in place, would have had to forego $11,475 in contributions, 13 percent of the total amount he raised. Latour’s balance would have remained unchanged, as she didn’t receive a single donation that went over the proposed cap. In the Fourth District, Bass received four donations of more than $1,500, and would have had to return 4 percent of the $85,710 in cash donations she received for the race. Her challenger, Chris Kerrigan, benefitted heavily from two large donations — $5,000 from Bill Pierson and $2,100 from Kenneth Miller — and, under the proposed ordinance, would have had to turn down $4,100 in donations, roughly 9 percent of his $45,544 total. It’s difficult to imagine the proposed ordinance having significantly affected the outcome of either race. Overall, it would have kept $19,325 out of two races that saw four candidates combine to raise more than $234,000.

There have been races, however, that would have been dramatically impacted by the proposed ordinance, most notably Bass’ successful 2010 bid to unseat Bonnie Neely, a 24-year incumbent. If we apply the proposed rules to that contest, Neely would have had to return a whopping 48 percent of her fundraising total of $143,889. For her part, Bass would have had to refuse $10,100 in contributions, about 6 percent of her $173,475 total. Despite Neely’s boost from a few big donors (she got $30,000 from Blue Lake Rancheria, $21,000 from Bill Pierson and $10,000 from a business based in Dana Point), Bass took 55 percent of the vote in the general election. While it seems the proposed ordinance wouldn’t have a sweeping impact on local elections — Neely-Bass and a few other races aside — a lower contribution cap could have some dramatic implications, as it’s clear a few dozen donors are responsible for a huge amount of campaign funds. For example, this year Sundberg took in $49,730 in contributions — 55 percent of his total haul — from 27 donors who
each put down more than $1,000, a dollar amount the average Humboldt family would be hard-pressed to donate. Bass received 31 donations of $1,000 or more, accounting for 54 percent of her total cash contributions. Kerrigan and Latour each received four such donations, accounting for 21 and 37 percent of their totals, respectively. For those keeping score at home and wondering about 2012: Bohn took in 34 donations of $1,000 or more (accounting for 35 percent of his total haul); Fennell recorded 29 (40 percent); and Lovelace listed nine (37 percent). On Sept. 9, a majority of the board made clear that it isn’t looking to overhaul campaign financing in Humboldt County, just to rein in the outliers. There was a lot of talk about leveling the playing field, of limiting the influence of special interests. “The whole idea was to get the big checks out,” Bohn explained. “It’s not to take anybody out of the process. It goes back to what it’s supposed to be — the people’s election.” ●

Three Feet For Bikes
Bill Burton, who founded Arcata’s Library Bike nonprofit and is director of LibraryBikes.org (think: checking out a bike like a book), sent a happy but poignant note to the press noting that the new Three Feet for Safety law goes into effect Sept. 16. The law requires drivers to give bicyclists traveling in the same direction three feet of clearance when passing. If it isn’t possible (or safe) to pass a bicycle giving it three feet clearance, the law demands that the vehicle driver slow down and only pass when it is possible and safe to. Violation of the rule brings a $35 fine — and $220 if a driver hits and hurts a cyclist while violating the rule. Burton, who wrote the early versions of the bill and lobbied heavily for it, said the law contains “many compromises … [but] nevertheless today we get a good safe law initiated.” He said the law might reduce cyclist deaths by about half in California.

SCENES FROM THE GOLDEN TARP AWARD FESTIVAL AT THE MATEEL COMMUNITY CENTER ON SEPT. 13.
Story and Photos By Grant Scott-Goforth grant@northcoastjournal.com
W
ildfires are filling the skies with haze, but the smokiest spot in Humboldt County on Sept. 13 wasn’t a wild conflagration. It was hundreds of miniature arsons as a smorgasbord of weed enthusiasts descended on the Mateel Community Center for the Golden Tarp Award, a celebration of Humboldt-grown pot. While it was pretty clear that many people paid admission so they could get baked, others spilled out of the tent where gardeners were offering instructional classes on propagation, cloning and trimming weed and sat in on presentations on legalization and grower pollution. Among those speakers was Terrance Alan, treasurer of a recently founded political action committee, California Cannabis Voice (see “PAC a Bowl,” June 19), which has been drumming up support in the Emerald Triangle all summer long, collecting donations from growers who are increasingly convinced that legalization is on the way and that they need representation as marijuana laws change. Alan, a tall, slender 62-year-old with three piercings in his eyebrow, was pulled into the fray eight months ago, when CCV founder Matt Kumin called on his activism expertise. After decades of work in marijuana law, Kumin saw an opportunity for legalization. “This is the moment,” Kumin told Alan. Alan has been a community organizer in San Francisco since the 1980s, when “the AIDS crisis was first hitting my family — the gay community,” he said on Saturday,
squeezing into a seat next to a group of red-eyed young men with smoking utensils strewn on a table in front of them. Marijuana provided some relief for men suffering from AIDS — pot eased pain and stirred appetite — and by the early ’90s, Alan had a dozen plants growing in his closet to provide patients with pot, including his lover, who would die from AIDS in 1994. Then police kicked in his door. The incident caused outrage in San Francisco’s gay community, and eventually residents convinced the city to defund marijuana enforcement. It was a precursor to Proposition 215, which passed in 1996. The following decade, Alan worked to unite club owners and entertainers and create the city’s entertainment commission, which took permitting and discipline of clubs out of the police department’s hands, to the consternation of cops and some neighborhood groups. A New York Times profile from 2009 describes how Alan appealed to several of San Francisco’s supervisors, building rapport with politicians and the community and earning claims of favoritism and conflicts of interest.
Forming the entertainment commission may be the perfect experience to prepare Alan for his current battle. San Francisco’s nightclub scene is particularly important for the gay community, the New York Times explained, a culture that had largely stayed underground until recent times because of stigma and regressive public opinion. Club owners and the community were tired of strong arm tactics from the police, insisting that regulations and enforcement should be designed and carried out, in part, by responsible members of the industry. While public consensus in favor of the entertainment commission grew, the police department had to adapt to a cultural change of its own and — like any politically powerful group — it pushed back. The whole situation parallels, in many ways, the current state of marijuana in California. And it’s not a metaphor that Alan is hesitant to mention. In his speech at the award festival, Alan urged marijuana growers to “come out of the closet” to the people they loved in order to legitimize their lifestyle (which, it must be said, is a choice — so the metaphor only works up to a point). And the
PAC continues to call for growers to support lobbying efforts in Sacramento — another kind of coming out for the industry. CCV is making a concerted push for medical marijuana reform in 2015. Alan thinks the group will be successful. The most recent iteration (California Senate Bill 1262) was opposed by CCV and died quietly in committee, but Alan said it showed progress in attracting more stakeholders. “At least the police were in the room,” he said. It might seem counterintuitive to try and change the state’s medical laws when, by Alan’s admission, full legalization is looming (2016, he predicts). But, he said, “If we set medical regulations in place — licensing, quality control — we can practice it for a couple years.” When more expansive legalization is approved, legislators can “overlay it on an already successful program.” Alan speculates that framework law is part of why legalization in Colorado is working, and Washington is struggling: Colorado kept its medical marijuana framework in place, whereas Washington threw out its medical marijuana laws in order to build new ones from scratch. CCV has had success — it’s noteworthy that at a festival teeming with young people and some of the world’s finest pot, dozens took time to sit and listen to a panel of speakers discuss law, regulation, environment and marijuana culture. Outside, reggae music blared while people toked and collected industry schwag. They sampled cannabis caramels and marijuana-infused kale chips and shopped for lightly pornographic marijuanathemed airbrush art. At least for one day, no stoners were in the closet. l

t’s a hot and humid afternoon in Atlanta, Georgia, and Oakland Athletics catcher John Jaso is getting a rare break from batting practice. The Atlanta Braves are doing some kind of promotion on the field, which gives the 30-year-old Humboldt native a chance to chat with a hometown reporter. When the A’s PR guy hands Jaso the phone, he’s chipper, confident and relaxed despite heading into the most difficult stretch of the season. Yes, it’s a game. But September is hard on baseball players. With 162 regular season games, a rigorous travel schedule and few days off, fatigue typically begins to set in around the end of August. But Jaso has playoffs — and the World Series — on his mind. “You might be hurting and everything right now but it’s so close to the end you push through,” Jaso said. “We’re competing. We’re in first place in our division.” In his publicity shot, Jaso’s got a half smile (like he’s about to laugh, something you can hear in his voice), thick stubble and short hair under his green and gold cap. He looks like a natural-born Humboldter; a few years ago, when he played for the Seattle Mariners, he sported a barely-trimmed beard. When he began with Oakland, in 2013, his hair was nearly shoulder-length. At home plate, he holds the bat high behind him, an upright but comfortablelooking stance that allows for a speedy swing of the bat. And when No. 5 connects, he connects. That swing’s taken nine balls out of the park this season and sprayed 81 hits. Despite his posture over home plate, Jaso is soft-spoken and unassuming. He sounds genuinely humbled to be playing major league ball, appreciative of the circumstances that led to his success. Part of that success is due to a particularly savvy new management style that’s crept into baseball over the last couple decades. There is, perhaps, no better current incarnation of “moneyball” than Jaso. What Jaso doesn’t say, on that Aug. 16 afternoon, is that he’s been suffering concussion symptoms since taking a hard foul ball off his mask in early August. The symptoms — nausea, pain, “fuzziness” — are getting worse every day. Fast forward one month and things have changed dramatically from midAugust, when the team was tied for the division lead and the best record in baseball. The A’s have fallen 10.5 games behind the Angels in the race to win their division, and cling to a wild card spot that would get the team into the playoffs if it can’t climb back on top of the American League West. In an eerie repeat of his
2013 season, Jaso has sat out more than 20 games since Aug. 25 — just a week after he talked with the Journal — with severe concussion symptoms. “He’s kind of in a tough patch right now,” said his dad, Greg Jaso. John’s recovery time was extended last week following a visit to a concussion specialist, and it’s unclear at this point if he will return to help the tailspinning A’s for the rest of 2014. “I think the team could use him,” Greg said.
John Jaso grew up
hiking and camping around Humboldt County and beyond, and he still takes every opportunity to explore the outdoors. But there aren’t many of them during the six-month baseball season. The downside of wanting a World Series title: “If the postseason takes us into November, then camping season is pretty much gone,” he said. Jaso mentions his dad enough during the phone call from Atlanta that it’s clear he’s been a huge influence on the 30-year-old’s life. In a promotional interview after joining the A’s, John cited his father as his hero. Greg Jaso lives in McKinleyville and works as a dentist for the United Indian Health Services. He shares his son’s humility — when asked what would have inspired John to name him as his hero, Greg joked, “I dunno. He hasn’t been around that much I guess.” John grew up the oldest of four siblings — one brother lives in McKinleyville, another moved to Florida to become a municipal firefighter, and his sister’s a pastry chef for Pixar. When each of the Jaso kids graduated eighth grade, Greg took them on a trip. He and John spent a week on the Boundary Waters in Minnesota fishing, canoeing and camping. “It was one of those father-son things where you really connect,” Greg said. “We’ve got more of a bond than a ‘hero’ thing.” When the Jaso brood was growing up, the family would play pickle or “fenceball” — a game in which Greg would hit grounders across a gopher-riddled backyard. If one of the kids made a clean catch, they’d get a point. If the ball pinged the fence behind them, the point was Greg’s. John’s raw talent, Greg conceded, likely came from his mom’s side. John’s grandfather spent years fending off scouts from the Chicago White Sox, determined to start a medical practice, and several of John’s uncles on that side played baseball in college. Greg said John’s baseball commitments outweigh his backcountry pining. “He talks a lot about coming home and going

up to the Trinity Alps,” Greg said. A few years ago, Jaso asked then-girlfriend Shannon to marry him while they were backpacking in the Trinity Alps. “I proposed to her up there so she couldn’t get away,” he said, laughing. (She said yes.) On their last day, his dad met them with champagne, smoked salmon and cheese. “That was like a 10-mile hike for him,” Jaso said. Jaso’s permanent home is in Florida, where it’s easier to go through spring training, but he still loves Humboldt. In the meantime, he hikes in the Bay Area when he can, and sees Shannon whenever possible. When he spoke to the Journal, Shannon was planning to travel to Atlanta from Florida, where she’s attending business and marketing school, so they could spend a day together. “It’s always tough doing baseball in a relationship,” he said. And Jaso still talks regularly with some of his former coaches and teachers, including Dustin Dutra, who coached him at McKinlevyille High School and taught history and government classes. “He was a big part of my baseball life growing up as a kid,” Jaso said. “We still keep in touch. I send him gear once in a while — extra wood bats he can use during batting practice.” Dutra’s been coaching McKinleyville High baseball for 19 years, and says that, in hindsight, he could see Jaso had the makings of a pro ballplayer. “Just in our area and just in high school baseball there have been a lot of talented
players that have come through,” Dutra said. “Part of it, though, is … perseverance. If you’re not going to make the major leagues in the first couple years, are you going to be willing to grind it out a little bit and be patient? And then, when your opportunity comes, you know, [will you be ready to] jump on it?”
Jaso spent five years
playing minor league baseball before getting his shot, in 2008, with the Tampa Bay Rays, a scrappy, relatively new team that shares a division with two baseball megaweights: the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. It was in Tampa Bay that Jaso became part of an esoteric trend in baseball management. The sport has long bred an obsession over statistics; fans have been poring over players’ efficiencies and weaknesses via their scoring, defensive and pitching averages for a half century, and in the last few decades, fantasy sports (played competitively using real-life players’ stats) have added to the popularity of baseball’s numbers game. But numbercrunching has moved beyond the realm of the Excel-wielding super fan. Coaches, owners, scouts — teams — have begun paying attention. While he’s built for baseball — naturally talented, perseverant, with a good disposition for the game — Jaso isn’t a headlining player or a household name. But with careful planning, teams have continued on next page northcoastjournal.com • NORTH COAST JOURNAL • THURSDAY, SEPT. 18, 2014

continued from previous page found a way to capitalize on his strengths, employing vast spreadsheets of hyperanalytical figures — a wonky tactic known as sabermetrics. The Oakland Athletics have been turning heads for a little more than a decade now, becoming a cult favorite for the team’s now-famous brand of management: “moneyball.” Michael Lewis’ 2003 book of that name (subtitled “The Art of Winning an Unfair Game) exposed the A’s crafty strategies. The team, under General Manager Billy Beane’s direction, had quietly become the world’s best sabermetrics analysts. Eschewing the tradition of baseball scouts (who relied on instinct as much as numbers), the team broke players’ broad statistics into hyper-specific nodes, allowing it to stack its rosters with relatively cheap players with undervalued skills. And it worked. But after Moneyball came out Oakland’s tactic was exposed, and the underdog’s secret was co-opted by the rich teams, who — given the same data sets and valuations — could build even bigger, broader teams of number-crunchers. Jaso’s online profile, like any major leaguer, features a breakdown of how well he has hit: by batting order, by pitch count, by field, by time of day, by whether

he’s playing on grass or turf. Tampa Bay’s front office must have realized, in 2008, that John Jaso, who bats left, hits very well against right-handed pitchers. In order to make up for his weaker numbers against lefties (for his part, Jaso says he “used to hit lefties pretty well”), a strategy was born: Start Jaso when the opposing team starts a right-handed pitcher, and start another catcher against lefties. It’s not a new concept — Jaso’s former coach, Dutra, says it goes back in popularity to at least the 1980s Toronto Blue Jays (though, really, it’s existed since baseball’s inception)
— but it’s employed effectively by cashstrapped teams like the Rays and Athletics who can’t afford marquee players. “The Oakland A’s have created a monster,” read a headline at the beginning of the 2014 season referencing the Frankensteinian catcher position. Jaso was in a two-man “platoon” with the fearsomely bearded right-hander Derek Norris. The duo “would rank 14th in the league at the moment, if the A’s catchers were one player,” the story noted toward the end
of May. Another writer, lauding the tandem catchers for people building fantasy teams, called it the “platoon of awesomeness.” The A’s won the American League West in 2012 and 2013. A June New York Magazine article claimed, “Most teams would look at players like A’s catchers John Jaso and Derek Norris and lament how badly they struggle against pitchers who throw from the same side of the plate as they hit. This is seen as a liability. But Beane and the A’s see it as a potential strength.” New York Magazine called it a “new brand of moneyball.” “That’s a perfect example of capitalizing on peoples’ strengths and putting them in positions where they’re going to be successful,” Dutra said. Not only effective for a team’s success, it’s potentially cheaper for a team to carry two — even three — contracts for relatively cheap situational players than one catcher who, say, appeared on a video game cover. Though efficient, the strategy is potentially problematic. “Every player wants to play every game,” Dutra said. But not in Jaso’s case. “I like it,” Jaso said. “That’s just something that I’ve done since I reached the big leagues. As long as

continued from previous page Chula Vista, California. “I was just thinking about getting my education paid for; using baseball as a tool to get me through school,” Jaso said. He was planning to get a teaching degree when he was approached by a pro scout. “That’s when it really hit me that I could play professional baseball,” Jaso said. In 2003, after two years playing for Southwestern College, the Tampa Bay Rays drafted him in the 12th round. He had a decision to make: Sign, or take another scholarship to play baseball for San Diego University, a private Jesuit school. He signed. “This kind of fell onto me,” he said. “It was an opportunity that I knew I had to take.” (As part of his Suited up behind home plate on July 3. signing contract, the Photo courtesy of the Oakland Athletics Rays agreed to pay for two years of school World Series.

double into the outfield in the fourth inning. Hernandez reportedly responded with a grin from the mound. Jaso’s tenure with Oakland — concussion issues aside — has been positive for him. He praised the A’s organization, saying the coaches are up front with the catchers about when they’ll play. “That stuff is nice to have during a long season.” And his teammates? “Our clubhouse here is awesome,” he said. “I’ve been in clubhouses that weren’t so great. That makes a really long season.”
As a nation, we love underdogs,
and Oakland’s club fits that bill, with its deteriorating stadium, slim bankroll and lack of a World Series title since 1989. But the team makes up for that in enthusiasm, gumption, humor and camaraderie. When one scruffy player hits a homerun, he runs through a tunnel his teammates form in the dugout. This all makes for an imminently watchable group of players. Of course, things change quickly in baseball. Beane dropped jaws in August when he traded young slugger Yoenis Cespedes for two Boston Red Sox players, part of an apparent bid to load the offensively solid team with great pitching for the postseason. “I was surprised,” Jaso said. “We didn’t expect to see Cespedes go. We thought that was a piece of the puzzle. You can tell with that we’re definitely going for it this year.” The A’s were first in their division when the trade went through. As of Tuesday morning, the team was 10.5 games back. Meanwhile, Jaso, who is in a one-year, $2.3 million contract, sits out with concussion symptoms. Concussions are serious matters. After decades of accepting head-rattling plays in the realm of professional sports, owners, coaches, players and (maybe) fans are finally taking them seriously. Several years ago the National Football League began imposing in-game precautions following a string of high-profile suicides — and ensuing lawsuits — of former players attributed to repeated head injuries from the game. Awareness seems to have spread to Major League Baseball. Catchers, particularly, are vulnerable to concussions, with their frequent collisions with runners, backstops and foul balls. Jaso missed the second half of the 2013 season (he led the team in on-base percentage when he was sidelined) while he recovered from a concussion. Then, in early August, Jaso took a hard foul tip off of his mask. The concussion symptoms returned. He was nauseous, dizzy, in pain. Like migraines, concussions can be heightened by bright lights and loud noises — September ballparks aren’t the friendliest

environs for someone seeking concussion relief. The A’s put Jaso on a seven-day disabled list status — a way for teams to add to their roster by temporarily substituting their injured starting player with someone fresh. But a week later Jaso was still feeling “fuzzy,” having trouble seeing the ball as it approached the plate. He’s currently on a 15-day disabled list. If Jaso does come back in the 2014 season, it’s unclear what his role will be. His platoon-mate, Norris, has been the starting catcher in most appearances since Jaso was hurt. The A’s may not want to risk Jaso getting injured again, or may not have confidence that he is well enough to spend nine innings behind the plate, but they could tap him to be a designated hitter (A’s pitchers don’t hit unless the team is away playing a National League team) or a pinch hitter. A’s Manager Bob Melvin told MLB.com last week that he wasn’t surprised that Jaso was told by a specialist that he needed more time to recover. “On a personal level, I’m more worried about the person than I am the baseball player,” Melvin said. It’s frustrating, no doubt, to be that close to what looks like a banner year, only to have your status — and the possibility of seeing a single playoff at-bat — thrown into uncertainty by a routine foul tip. In spring training this year, Jaso told a Comcast Sports Net reporter about his frustrations over missing the end of 2013. “Nobody really likes being on the DL and
being that guy that has to go into the training room and sit there all day,” he said. “That part was a little bit depressing.” Jaso hasn’t spoken to the media since his most recent concussion, but his dad, Greg, recently came back from visiting him in the Bay Area. Greg said his son is still looking forward to some game time — even if it’s limited — with the A’s this season. “He’s in the kind of career where you’ve got to be on top of your game at all times,” Greg said. “Especially as a catcher — you’re tracking moving baseballs coming in at 90 mph. You’ve got to have your wits about you. “It’s tough because he’s worked so hard at it. It took a long time get to where he is today. He, more than anybody, knows what an honor and blessing it is to take it that far. That’s one of the things I’m proud about. It’s one thing to make it on your physical attributes. It’s another how you handle yourself along the way, the ups and downs.” When John Jaso talked to the Journal in August, his mind was on the postseason. “It’d be nice to get a World Series ring,” he said with a modest chuckle. But while baseball in August and September is all-consuming, there’s a sliver of room in Jaso’s mind that thinks about school, about teaching and coaching after the major leagues, about his family, and about the pristine lakes high in the Northern California mountains. l

continued on next page of the Giants. After six-tenths of a mile, the trail crosses a dirt jeep trail and then loops through fern-carpeted woods and across a small creek. We stopped a few times to nurse and adjust the stroller, but still completed the entire hike in about an hour. We were able to keep a steady pace, and Anika was thoroughly entertained by the sounds of the forest and the light filtering through the redwood branches. (Or something — who knows what’s going on inside a baby’s head?) We had a little picnic in a sunny patch of grass by the trailhead and congratulated ourselves on a successful mission.

he key to any successful backpacking expedition is good recon: Accurate information about the conditions you will face on your trip will inform your gear selection and meal planning. This goes for becoming a first-time mother, too. When embarking on my third trimester, I found myself exploring kids’ stores, reading parenting books, asking experienced parents for advice and scrolling through blogs by mothers of twins. What baby gear did I need? What kind of birth experience should I prepare for? What exactly was I going to do with two babies? Since hiking is one of my favorite activities, I spent a good portion of my maternity leave checking out strollerand kid-friendly trails. My requirements: The trail had to be at least a half-mile long, level but unpaved (to give you the impression you’re hiking, not just walking in a park), and a bit outside of town (for a sense of adventure). Given these requirements, I did not include the Headwaters or Hikshari’ trails, both of which are splendid local walks to take with a stroller.
I recruited fellow adventure mama Patricia Cheng Terry to explore Humboldt Redwoods State Park with me. She is a reliable paddling and climbing partner, and her infant daughter Anika made the perfect stroller-hiker test subject.
Hike 1: Drury-Chaney Loop trail
Humboldt Redwoods State Park has a number of very short trails (onequarter of a mile or shorter) that are stroller-friendly, but we selected the Drury-Chaney Loop trail (2.5 miles) on the northern edge of the park as the first recon mission. The trail is just south of Pepperwood on the Avenue of the Giants, and the trailhead is on the right side of the road when heading south. There is ample parking in the pullouts on both sides of the road by the trailhead. The Redwood Hikes trail guide described the path as “surfaced with gravel,” but most of it was hard-packed soil and redwood mulch. Nevertheless, Anika’s jogging stroller maneuvered like a champ. The trail was lush with redwoods and quiet despite its proximity to the Avenue
Bull Creek Flats Loop Three months later, I returned to the park to explore another trail, this time with my own stroller and my infant sons. I had planned to do recon on the Bull Creek Flats with Patricia and Anika, but a few hiccups (childbirth, sleep-deprivation) caused delays. When family came to visit, I took advantage of the extra hands and took the boys into the redwoods for the first time. We started our hike in the parking area of Rockefeller Forest, just off Mattole Road. We loaded the boys into their double, non-jogging stroller. There were lots of mosquitoes in the damp, warm parking area, but they weren’t noticeable once we started on the trail. The short (six-tenths of a mile) loop trail is wide, hard-packed and very popular. The stroller did just fine. We traveled counter-clockwise on the trail, passing beautiful displays of old growth, living and fallen. My relatives, both adult and infant, were sufficiently impressed. At the midpoint of the loop, one of the babies mounted a protest, so we took a break at the junction for the Tall Trees trail that overlooked Bull Creek. The water level was low, and the summer bridges were in, so we decided to ditch the stroller and carry the boys down to the water. Strapped into carriers, the boys calmed down and we were able to cross the creek and ascend the Lower Bull Creek Flats trail on the south side of the creek. The trail crosses a gorgeous alluvial plain before climbing up toward the Burlington campground. A side trail dips down to the water again at the confluence of the creek and the Eel River. We took it and picnicked on the sandbar at the confluence. We watched some “big kids” play in a swimming hole and assured the babies that as soon as they were old enough, we would be back to swim, too. We crossed back over the creek to rejoin the Rockefeller Loop and returned to the parking area. In total, our hike was less than 2 miles and easily done in two hours or so. Mission accomplished. ●

Hey there, little fella. Photo by Linda Stansberry
Slugfest
Not like bananas. At all. By Linda Stansberry tabletalk@northcoastjournal.com
O
f all the creatures that have made their way down my gullet, the banana slug is the most endearing. It’s cute, in its slimy way. It returns to the redwood forests after the spring rains, reminding us that a summer of riverside barbecues is on the horizon. Banana slugs are hermaphroditic and have what must be the most reciprocal and giving sex lives in the animal kingdom, a matter of careful alignment and the matching of various ports and nodes before engaging in hours of tender consummation. They look like little yellow smiles. The thought of eating one really pinged the radar of my conscience. But I did it. For journalism. The recipe for sautéed banana slugs, attributed to early German settlers in Humboldt County, might have been lost to the march of time were it not for an intrepid Humboldt State University scholar, Alex Johnson, who chronicled it and passed it on to the author of A Taste of Humboldt, whose book my friend stumbled upon and whose recipe she insisted I add to my list of gastronomical challenges. Thanks, Alex Johnson. Thanks, friend. First, the harvest. These critters are hard to miss, with their immistakable yellow hue, which ranges in intensity from chartreuse to school-bus yellow. I plucked half a dozen from under logs and
off trails in the Arcata Community Forest and stuck them in an old gelato canister. They made several slow and dispirited attempts to escape, but soon gave up and huddled together at the bottom of the jar. Looking through the clear plastic, I noticed that, close up, banana slugs have tiny little faces with tiny little red upside-down bow mouths that resemble those of sad teddy bears. I’m going to hell. At the suggestion of a noble friend, I stuck the jar in the freezer when I got back from my hike, to slow the slugs’ metabolism and anesthetize them for processing. Slime removal is a major part of slug prep, and the most efficient way to do it is to douse them in vinegar. After an hour in the freezer, my slugs were catatonic enough not to suffer too badly. They did expel lots and lots of slime, which I rinsed off thoroughly in the sink. Sans slime, dead slugs are stiff and discolored and about a quarter of their original size. I found some small and morally agnostic children to help me gut the de-slimed gastropods, then we sautéed them in butter and salt and, on the count of three, popped them in our mouths. The verdict? “Chewy.” “Salty.” “Not bad.”
The texture was a little like calamari and the taste was unremarkable. Slugs are high in protein, and like most entomophagic cuisine, flavor takes a backseat to nutrition and novelty. It should be noted that eating improperly prepared slugs can lead to meningitis (something I only found out after feeding them to my friend’s children). Slugs tend to chew on toxic mushrooms, among other things. Neither I nor the children fell ill, but I’m cured of my curiosity. The elaborate preparation process makes slugs a poor candidate for survivalist fare, and I’m not cavalier enough to risk the wrath of Mother Nature a second time. Sluggies, roam free, you’re safe from my fork.
Banana Slugs Sauteed
From A Taste of Humboldt: An Historical and Ethnic Cookbook of Humboldt County, California, assembled by Humboldt State University’s Youth Educational Services. Ingredients and method: 12 large banana slugs white vinegar butter Put the slugs in the freezer for roughly one hour. Remove and immerse them in vinegar for another hour. Slug slime will congeal. Wash the slime off thoroughly under running water. Using a very sharp knife, make a vertical cut along slug’s body and carefully remove the dark entrails. Also remove the small, fingernail-shaped shell from the slug’s head area. Sauté them well in the butter and your choice of seasoning. Serving over rice or rolled into sushi are also options. l

ccording to the calendar, this weekend is technically summer’s last hurrah. But according to sunny days and balmy breezes, we’ve got a proper Humboldt summer for some time yet. Whenever you decide to acknowledge the changing of the seasons, the equinox itself will arrive on Monday, meaning longer nights and more things to do after dark. Here we go.
Thursday: Stimulation, satisfaction
Let’s get this out of the way right now: The Hip Joint is a sexy beast of a band. Mia Casasanta, Cory Goldman, Mike Tofu Schwartz, Chuck Johnson and Justin Schwartzman will make your night delicious with ear candy. Inhibitions will be shed, propriety will vanish and all that weighty responsibility you normally bear will evaporate as your body shimmies to the funky jazz beats. As Tofu would say,
“Boom shaka laka, baby!” Feel them at the Palm Lounge, 8 p.m., 21-and-over, free. Elsewhere, the indie-folk husband and wife duo You Knew Me When (mentioned in last week’s “Setlist”) wraps up a Humboldt run at Redwood Curtain Brewing Company, 8 p.m., 21-and-over, free.
Friday: American past meets future
Oakland’s Dirtwire does this dirtyblues-meets-beats kind of sound that I’m finding surprisingly irresistible, as well as some more esoteric Middle Eastern vibefilled tracks — Americana reinterpreted through a “world music” filter. Which makes sense, given that Dirtwire’s two halves are multi-instrumentalist David Satori of Beats Antique and Evan Fraser of Hamsa Lila and Stallamara. See the duo at the Arcata Theatre Lounge, doors at 9:30 p.m., 21-and-over. Tickets are available in advance for $15 online at worldfamous. inticketing.com or $20 advance at Wildberries, People’s Records and The Works.
Saturday: Stupid with options
is your only chance to see Humboldt’s own Weezer tribute band in 2014. (Say it ain’t so!) This year marks Wepeel’s 13th in existence and the 20th anniversary of Weezer’s eponymous debut, which Wepeel will perform (almost) in its entirety. Sing along. Ready? “My name is Jonas…” Cover is $5, music starts at 11 p.m., show is 21-and-over.
Into the week
The ATL hosts a couple more gigs for your weeknight pleasure. Tuesday, it’s a hip-hop-bass-trap party with Keys N Krates, Gladiator and ThugLi. Doors open at 9:30 p.m., tickets are available in advance for $15 online or $20 at retail outlets, and this show is 21-and-over. Then, on Wednesday, the genre-defying Rising Appalachia takes the stage. Led by sisters Leah and Chloe, the band offers “poetic harmonies, soul singing, spoken word rallies, banjos, fiddles, organic bass and groove rhythms.” Doors open at 8 p.m. Music starts at 9 p.m. Tickets are $15 advance, $20 at the door. This show is 21-and-over.
North Country Fair! See the Journal calendar (page 28) for a full rundown of Arcata’s annual two-day event extraordinaire. Piñata Party! Seriously. Not only do you get live music by Nectarine Season, El Flaco and Diggin’ Dirt, the always-creative folks at Blondie’s invite you to create your finest, most creative piñata; winner gathers a $200 cash prize. “Don’t forget to fill it with something awesome,” they say. “Must be legal,” they say. Arrive at 3 p.m. to enter your piñata. The bashing begins at 4 p.m. Catherine Feeny and Chris Johnedis! Acclaimed songwriter Feeny met jazz drummer Johnedis after recording her rebellious fourth solo album, America. She had just come back from the Occupy Wall Street protests in New York, and he was returning from two years of working and studying in Thailand. Two years later, working with impressively credentialed producers, the two recorded an eponymous collaborative album that captures WHO: Catherine Feeny and Chris Johnedis their intriguing ability to create WHEN: Saturday, Sept. 20 at 8 p.m. dreamy, hook-filled melodies upon which serious social comWHERE: Humboldt Machine Works mentary hangs, delicately.

TOTALLY AIDING AND ABETTING IDRIS ELBA.
Bungled B&E
No Good Deed is punishing By John J. Bennett filmland@northcoastjournal.com
Reviews
NO GOOD DEED. The whole “killer inside the house” thing is long in the tooth. But for me it taps into a visceral fear — one of those childhood phobias founded on nightmares. So despite the contrived set-up, I expected to be a little scared by No Good Deed. Maybe I’ve finally outgrown the genre, but more likely the movie just isn’t very good. The problems start almost immediately, as we’re introduced to Colin Evans (Idris Elba), the villain. As he’s transported from prison to a parole hearing in shackles, a reporter at the scene reads off a long, expository paragraph detailing his misdeeds: convicted of voluntary manslaughter after beating a man to death in a bar fight and suspected — but never tried, due to lack of evidence — of abducting five young women who remain missing. This idea, that Evans is a rage-monster capable of killing someone with his hands, but also a calculating sicko, is effective. However, no further mention is made of the alleged abductions, so it only plays as clumsy exposition. Moving along, Evans is denied parole despite his impassioned speech about having been reformed and rehabilitated by prison. A member of the parole board makes equally emphatic remarks debunking these claims, countering that Evans is actually a malignant narcissist. I emphasize the phrase as the filmmakers do; that is, for no good reason. So on the way back to prison Evans summarily murders his guards and heads back to suburban Atlanta, where he kills his ex-fiancée. Then he crashes his stolen pickup in a rain-
storm, finds himself on the doorstep of the nicely appointed home of Terri (Taraji P. Henson) and starts terrorizing her and her small children. The plot builds as if somebody envisioned this as a much longer affair. Fortunately, a more sensible person cut it down to 84 minutes, which feels like about four hours. By the time Evans gets inside Terri’s house, it’s time to start wrapping things up, structure-wise. The climax and the resolution are so rushed you might blink and miss them. Elba, who flew so close to the sun as Stringer Bell in The Wire, gives an effectively chilling performance in the lead, but there’s too much missing. He can do a lot with looks, movement and intonation, but the character doesn’t have enough behind him to come to life on screen. A remorseless killer is scary, sure, but we’d be better off never understanding his motivation at all than to be told he’s just a jealous guy. Senseless violence can make sense if the story is handled properly, but here it has zero impact because it’s patently unreal. Of course Evans won’t hesitate to shoot a cop on the side of the road or hit a pretty blonde in the face with a shovel. He might do anything, because it’s all manufactured, untethered to reality. Which would be fine if the movie were at all stylized or heightened, giving the impression of an intentional disconnect. Instead, No Good Deed feels slapdash and insufficiently thought out, all the more so for its incongruously strong lead performances. The title doesn’t even make sense. PG13. 84m. — John J. Bennett
THE DROP. A robbery turns up old neighborhood secrets in this drama starring Tom Hardy, Noomi Rapace and the late James Gandolfini. R. 106m. MAZE RUNNER. The Hunger Maze. Boys are mysteriously stranded and searching for a way out of a giant labyrinth. PG13. 113m. THIS IS WHERE I LEAVE YOU. Brothers and sisters duke it out and hug it out in their family home after their father dies. With Jane Fonda, Tina Fey and Jason Bateman. R. 103m. WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES. Whoever you are, Liam Neeson is going to find you and kill you. Or rescue your kidnapped wife. R. 114m.

AS ABOVE, SO BELOW. Archaeologists with GoPros run screaming through catacombs under prime Paris real estate. As the French say, non. R. 93m. DOLPHIN TALE 2. Did Blackfish bring you down? Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman star in a more upbeat story with a blowhole and a happy ending. PG. 108m. THE GIVER. A young man’s placid dystopia is rocked by the knowledge of how it came to be. Faithful to the book, with Jeff Bridges and Meryl Streep. PG13. 97m. GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY. Unlikely heroes save the galaxy from boredom in this clever, edgy and dazzling sci-fi blockbuster. PG13. 121m. THE HUNDRED-FOOT JOURNEY. A family of Indian restaurateurs is pitted against an established French restaurant owner (Helen Mirren). Warm, sincere, nostalgic filmmaking. PG. 122m. IF I STAY. Chloe Grace Moretz decides whether or not to go into the light in this surprisingly good drama. Both the emotions and the Pacific Northwest are beautifully rendered. PG13. 107m. LET’S BE COPS. Two dolts impersonate cops to get free stuff and become popular. R. 103m. LUCY. Director Luc Besson muddles an interesting idea with half-baked plotting, wasting Scarlett Johansson as a woman with access to the other 90 percent of her brain. R. 90m. THE NOVEMBER MAN. Pierce Brosnan in a stylish, well-acted retread of the rogue-spy-out-in-the-cold-double-cross plot. R. 108m. TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES. Hollywood unwisely reinvents the origin story and the world’s most fearsome fighting team is duller than ever. PG13. — Jennifer Fumiko Cahill and Grant Scott-Goforth ●
