One Version of The Story Land Owners push severed limbs into the ground, anchored in boluses of concrete. one person buying another. one person grades into the breast of a hill. downstream, cataracts of silt: a kind of preventable blindness. There are all sorts of responses to being held captive: death. sense less ness. rebellion.

The forehead of the fire leans into drywall paper unveils the pale, chalky gut of gypsum. I feel certain that this fire did not stop to check in at the courthouse, or request a title report from a title company. This fire doesn’t rate the generations of land owners as a significant detail. Nor did Krakatoa Katrina Sandy or the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami consider the history of human habitation or the history of buying and selling souls.

Pot Thoughts Editor: The county and state are worried about marijuana farmers using rodenticides indiscriminately and affecting wildlife (“Blog Jammin’,” Sept. 5). I’m not a pot farmer, but I am a victim of government’s continuing policies to maintain the marijuana monopoly’s artificially high prices. It is typical lawyerpolitician noise to presume illegal growers will allow a pre-site inspection and look at where these things are going to be used. How is government going to prevent obtaining illegal rodenticides when it already is incapable of controlling illegal marijuana growing? The only result of attempting to restrict rodenticides will be to raise the cost of growing, allow growers to get higher prices for their pot, increase the number of Mexicans killed by cartels, give police and sheriffs higher benefits, clutter our “correctional institutions” with more growers, give lawyers more employment circumventing complex laws, and raise tax bills even higher. The anti-rodenticide law will be just one more hidden government failure. Rats and mice multiply and are all around. I keep them out as best I can. In the Mojave Desert years ago I knew an old guy who would shoot at the rats scampering in his rafters. Fortunately for me, government is not further restricting warfarin. Moles burrow tunnels under foundations. Plumbers cut plates and sills to put in vents providing convenient attic access. Electricians drill many unused half-inch holes, and mice wiggle through. Building codes want twoinch spaces between walls and the chimney. Pot will soon be legalized in California and the rodenticide problem will disappear. Charles Wilson, Orick Editor: If you learned anything from Prohibition it is that it creates more problems than it solves (“Green-eyed Cops,” Oct. 3). But you knew that. So, sign the upand-coming petition to legalize the weed.

the week in WEed

Land of Oz

PLUS MORE

By Ryan Burns

t’s marijuana harvesting season in Humboldt County, which means, among other things, that would-be trimmers are loitering in Garberville, sticky bills are flowing into local cash registers and law enforcement is making ginormous drug busts every day or two. A couple weeks ago, for example, local sheriff’s deputies and the DEA-funded Cannabis Eradication and Reclamation Team (CERT) made three big busts in three days, seizing 21,523 marijuana plants and 600 pounds of processed marijuana. Total value was estimated conservatively at about $21 million. Last Monday, another bust destroyed about half a million dollars’ worth of weed. Tuesday, a $400,000 crop was eradicated. Now, we know through law enforcement’s own admission (not to mention Google Earth imagery) that these seasonal busts represent just the tip of the iceberg (maybe 1 or 2 percent, according to the Sheriff’s Office) when it comes to our illicit cash crop. Setting aside questions about the effectiveness of enforcement efforts (spoiler: not effective), let’s take a step back and ponder the tremendous girth of this metaphorical iceberg. Conservative estimates for the marijuana industry’s value in Humboldt County range from $400 million to more than $1 billion. One can imagine that the underside of the iceberg looks like the towering spires of Emerald City — a shimmering green metropolis that radiates profit motive and lures wide-eyed dreamers down a road paved with gold. And if they can’t find the road they can just rent a tractor and grade one of their own. Elsewhere: A study published last week in the British Medical Journal Open found that marijuana seizures in the U.S. increased 465 percent between 1990 and 2009. Over the same period, the price of weed decreased by 86 percent while average potency of the drug shot up by 161 percent. Can you carry weed on a plane? Several news outlets this week reported that Transportation Safety Administration screeners are increasingly looking the other way and allowing passengers to bring their stash onboard. The TSA website says screeners “do not search for marijuana or other drugs,” but as a federal agency it’s still bound by federal law. “The final decision rests with TSA on whether to allow any items on the plane,” the site says. l

his is definitely going to be one of those ‘you don’t look homeless’ days.” The woman making this comment is about 50. With her thick dark hair in a bob, her blue windbreaker and wire-rimmed glasses, she could be a mom on her way to pick up her teenager from soccer practice. But she lives in her car, along with the two dogs she adopted before losing her home and job. She washed her hair under a cold water spigot in a public restroom two days ago. She is sitting with several other homeless people at a folding table in The Annex, a public resource center in Arcata, reviewing mockups of Humboldt County’s newest newspaper: The Humboldt Edge, a street paper written and edited by those living below the poverty line. “What does a homeless person look like? Isn’t that one of the questions we’re trying to answer?” says Lorena Boswell, founder and editor, in response to the woman’s comments. Boswell is a volunteer coordinator for HSU, and she organizes yearly trips for students to help the needy in cities such as San Francisco and Portland. This year, she and her students spent spring break in

Sacramento, where Boswell met the editor of Homeward, a periodical written by houseless and low-income people. Bowell had been thinking about a Humboldtbased street paper for several years, and the meeting was a catalyst. Emotion colors her voice when she recalls talking with one of her students on the return trip. “I was ... talking about how I wanted to do this but I wasn’t sure that I could, and he just turned to me and said, ‘You can do this.’” Creating The Humboldt Edge involved collaboration and hard work. Some of Humboldt County’s most marginalized residents overcame challenging circumstances to meet, deliberate, write, edit and authorize the paper’s content. “It was an amazing process of getting people’s voices,” says Boswell. She went to community service organizations to find contributors who would vet every step of the process. The Edge’s editorial team has been meeting every week since June. Many of the stories are published anonymously or under pen names. When reading the articles, it’s easy to understand why. The writers speak of stigmatization, of mental illness, of harassment, of being pushed from town to town. Fear and anger are pervasive tones. Boswell

says many of the homeless people she’s met in Humboldt carry with them “wads of tickets” from the police, simply for “existing in a place when there’s no place for them to be.” Some 2,000 copies of The Humboldt Edge’s premier edition were printed on Friday. Originally it was only going to be in black and white, but the editorial board voted to spend a few extra dollars and add an eye-popping orange to the back and front pages. The paper’s eight pages are filled with editorials, news, cartoons and poems. Copies were handed out at the Arcata Farmers Market, local coffee shops and community resource centers. Edge contributors at last week’s editorial meeting talked about the challenges they had to overcome to get this far: no computer, no steady source of electricity, no place to sit down to write, drama at the shelter. Some contributors declined to help distribute the paper, saying they didn’t want to out themselves as homeless. Street papers in some cities have a vendor program, which enlists homeless people to sell the papers for a fixed price and keep part of the profits. That could come in time for The Humboldt Edge, Boswell said, but for now, the paper is free and she is actively seeking businesses that would like to carry it. A $3,000 grant from the Jonathan M. Daniels Memorial Fellowship is underwriting the first few issues, and the Edge is looking for contributors for the next issue, which is planned for December. Copies dropped off at Fortuna’s Apple Harvest Festival on Saturday were met with a lukewarm response. Few people seemed interested in picking up the paper, and the majority of those who did were already among the converted. “People need to get some unfiltered information about what’s going on. We’re all one incident away from being in the same place,” said Anna Johnson of Carlotta, after taking a copy. Craig Mesman, who volunteers with the Riverlife Foundation charity in Fortuna, which feeds and clothes the needy as well as cleans up homeless camps, said he was happy to see the paper, and he echoed the hopes of many that this would help residents see homeless people not as a homogenous group, but as individuals. “The homeless are like the last disadvantaged group that everyone feels justified in taking an opinion against,” he said. Similar words were spoken at last week’s celebratory editorial meeting, but the empowerment spoken of by Edge contributors often had a more practical bent. Many were fascinated, they said, with how a newspaper is made. •

Disputed Principles County supervisors clash yet again on visions for the region’s future By Ryan Burns

ryanburns@northcoastjournal.com

hen it comes to the muchdebated guiding principles in Humboldt County’s General Plan Update process, it looks like the spirit of compromise was just a one-evening anomaly. Two weeks ago on Sept. 23 the Board of Supervisors held a rare evening session to tinker yet again with the language of the guiding principles, a list of goals that are supposed to express a broad community vision for land use planning in the county’s unincorporated areas. And for the dura-

tion of that meeting, at least, it looked like the board was striving to find middle ground between the original principles, developed through a years-long public process, and a new set put forth in June by 2nd District Supervisor Estelle Fennell. But when the board reconvened Monday afternoon to finish tinkering with the principles, the ideological chasm opened wide yet again. Third District Supervisor Mark Lovelace argued passionately for language defending resource lands, while the rest of the board pushed through

12 North Coast Journal • Thursday, Oct. 10, 2013 • northcoastjournal.com

principles with more generalized wording. The impetus for this dramatic change in tenor appeared — on the surface, anyway — to be a letter recently sent to the board by the city of Arcata that implicitly praised the Sept. 23 version of principle No. 4. Signed by Arcata Mayor Shane Brinton, the letter suggests that a proposed new policy on lands zoned for timber production conflicts with the principle. The timber policy would allow up to two residential units to be built on each tract of land zoned for timber production.

Currently only one house is allowed, and only if it’s incidental to the land’s principal purpose — producing timber. Arcata’s letter urges the board to reconsider, arguing that the more houses get built on timberland, the harder it becomes to manage that land and the worse it is for the environment. The letter concludes with a reference to principle No. 4, which was revised unanimously in September to include language “discouraging conversion of resource lands and open spaces to other uses.” The Sept. 23 change evidently didn’t sit well with homebuilders and private property rights advocates. During the public comment period at Monday’s meeting, Sally MacDonald, the executive director of the Humboldt Coalition for Property Rights (a job once held by Supervisor Fennell), urged the board to go back to principle No. 4 yet again and “have it be incredibly less restrictive.” Julie Williams, speaking on behalf of the Northern California Association of Homebuilders, called principle No. 4 “more dangerous than a cannon.” Other speakers, including Gordon Leppig, an environmental scientist speaking on behalf of the California Department

of Fish and Wildlife, urged the board to maintain resource protections in the six principles yet to be addressed. Instead, when it came time for the board to act, 4th District Supervisor Virginia Bass suggested going back to principle No. 4 and striking out the call to focus development “in areas with existing infrastructure and [discourage] conversion of resource lands to other uses.” Confusingly, Bass used Arcata’s letter as justification. She’d heard from many people after the last meeting, she said, and thought that “some clarifying language ... would take care of this issue brought up by the city of Arcata.” She and 5th District Supervisor Ryan Sundberg had taken a stab at rewriting the principle and had run it by the county’s director of planning and building, Kevin Hamblin. Rather than calling for focused development around existing services, Bass and Sundberg’s version of principle No. 4 says simply that development should be “consistent with Land Use maps contained in the General Plan.” Fennell was on board. “I like the idea of making the guiding principles a little more general,” she said.

First District Supervisor Rex Bohn liked it too. “I don’t think it’s our place to discourage anybody [from doing] what they do with their personal property rights,” he said. Lovelace was the sole board member disturbed by the change. He argued that carving resource lands into smaller parcels has helped facilitate illegal marijuana grows, and in a surprise slideshow presentation he cited years of feedback in support of resource land protections. “Discouraging conversion of resource lands is a message we’ve heard so solidly, so clear year after year — including just recently from our agricultural producers,” Lovelace said. “I don’t know why we’d want to take out that language.” But his fellow board members insisted that the new version provided more clarity, and the board voted 4-1, with Lovelace dissenting, to adopt Bass and Sundberg’s wording. As the board moved through the rest of the guiding principles, the pattern remained largely the same. Discussing principle No. 6, for example, Lovelace argued for language calling for “increased restrictions on resource lands” while the

rest of the board wanted to strike that out and replace it with a call to “encourage, incentivize and support” agriculture and timber production. The board began voting on No. 6 before Lovelace was ready. He suggested a compromise on the language, which seemed to annoy Sundberg. “That’s not—. We should probably straw vote this one,” Sundberg said. Lovelace responded, “Last time we went through the guiding principles we were able to take a series of 4-1 votes and move them back towards greater consensus, which I think was good not just for us as a board but for the community. And I’m getting the sense that that’s lost.” The board proceeded to vote 4-1, with Lovelace as the dissenting vote, on principles six, seven and eight. Rather than calling for protection of open space and fisheries habitat, principle No. 7 now calls for honoring individuals’ rights to live where they want to. And the original version of principle No. 8 — “Include actionable plans for infrastructure financing and construction” — was simply eliminated. (See the Journal website for a full set of before-and-after comparisons.)

When word of what happened Monday reached the City of Arcata, officials were confused. Mayor Brinton said he was “baffled” and “reeling a bit” by the votes and by the role the city’s letter played in the proceedings. The letter, he said, was drafted with input from staff and various committees, including the politically moderate forest management committee, and was supported unanimously by the Arcata City Council. The letter’s intent, Brinton said, was to encourage the county to protect timberland. “Somehow either the Board of Supervisors didn’t understand, or it took action contrary to the express desires of the city council,” he said. As for the letter’s reference to guiding principle No. 4, Brinton said, “We were trying to acknowledge the good work done by the Board of Supervisors by quoting part of their guiding principles. Somehow that resulted in a change to those very guiding principles.” With these new principles in place, the Board of Supervisors will soon move forward on crafting the specific land use designations, where the county’s guiding vision will shape its plans for the future. ●

Sheriff: ‘It Sickens Me’

Members of the Buckeye Conservancy gathered along with HSU faculty, local business owners and timber industry professionals last night for a presentation by Sheriff Mike Downey on the impact of industrial marijuana grows. “It sickens me to see what’s happening to our county,” said Downey. In a 20-minute slideshow presentation the sheriff illustrated the environmental problems associated with large marijuana grows, including sediment slides from illegal grading, water diversion, rodenticides and hazardous waste leaks. “It’s getting to the point where I’m asking my deputies to wear protective gear when they go in, some of these sites are so toxic,” Downey said, referring to the presence of chemicals such as DDT and methomyl, which are sometimes used to deter vermin from the plants. He went on to cite lack of funding for enforcement as a major hindrance to addressing the problems, though he said the District Attorney’s office has a special task force whose primary focus is land issues. Elizabeth Marshall Maybee, of the Marshall Ranch near Bridgeville, spoke of her anxiety at losing her family ranch and facing the potential of selling parcels to

growers. There were many murmurs of agreement in the crowd. Another landowner said, “It took me 30 years to piece together my ranch. I’m selling it to a 29-year-old ex-rodeo star. I’m taking a hit on it. I was offered a lot more by growers.”

Meet Dan Johnson The developer talks family, politics and plagiarism, and explains why he won’t resign from the school board By Ryan Burns

t’s not about the speech. That’s what Dan Johnson and his wife Kendra have come to believe after nearly four months of criticism. This scandal is clearly about them — who they are and what they represent: success, money and development in a town whose politics run in the other direction. Yes, fine, he used portions of East Coast English teacher David McCullough Jr.’s “You Are Not Special” speech during his own address to the graduating class of Arcata High last June. And no, he didn’t give McCullough credit. He says that he didn’t know any better, and sure, he probably should have. But that’s not the point. This is personal. “You’ve got these people and these board members demanding an apology,” Dan Johnson says. “Well, OK. You’re gonna hit me

with a ruler? And you want me to apologize? It’s like, you know, c’mon. I’m an adult just like you guys. It doesn’t matter what I would have written; it would have been tore up. Because it’s not. About. The speech.” The Johnsons are sitting in their living room with their three kids, eldest daughter Sydney, who just graduated from Arcata High and stood next to her dad onstage when he gave that fateful speech, 16-yearold Carter, who has his dad’s swagger and auburn hair, and youngest daughter Jayden, 13, who later this evening will call her dad “the most amazing person I’ve met in my entire life.” Dan Johnson, the local construction company magnate, sits in a leather armchair in front of his brick fireplace. He has a thin smile and a fiery glint in his cobalt blue

eyes. Behind his boyish looks there’s a flinty confidence. He speaks with the brusque, no-bullshit delivery of a hard-nosed coach, a role he’s filled for the Arcata High girls’ basketball team and the Mad River Youth Soccer League. Only the thin lines stacked across his forehead suggest his true age, 49. After months of refusing to speak to the media, Johnson and his family have decided that it’s finally time to open up and talk about this plagiarism controversy and its aftermath. At a school board meeting last month, Johnson said his critics don’t know “who the hell I am as a person.” No one story can capture the full scope of a person, but here, according to Johnson, his friends and his detractors, is something of who the hell Dan Johnson really is: He’s a man who grew up doing ranch chores, who made his first big money as a teen raising cattle. A business owner who employs 225 people and, in partnership with his wife and one other couple, owns the entire town of Samoa. A steadfast friend for a family who lost a daughter. A guy known for building green. A man who tells a journalist that he has never sued or been sued — and who later says he either forgot or wasn’t involved with dozens of lawsuits that turn up in court records. A man who calls himself “a freakin’ winner.” A school board member who, despite a 3-1 board vote calling for his resignation, tells the Journal this September evening at his Bayside home that no, he will not be stepping down.

Hard work runs in the Johnson

family. Dan Johnson’s grandpa Carl built two trailer parks, one in Arcata and another in Eureka, and in 1948 he founded The Carl Johnson Co., a mercantile and auction house that still operates on Jacobs Avenue in Eureka. By the time Dan was 10, he was working there every evening after school and on weekends, said his father, Don Johnson, who now runs the company. Dan and his older brother David were both in 4-H, and by the time Dan was 12 the Johnson boys were heading out to the family ranch with their dad every morning by 6. Dan raised Holsteins, David raised sheep and they both raised pigs. “We worked in a family where there was a strong work ethic and you worked until you got through,” says Don Johnson. About his sons he adds, “They were full of hell a little bit when they grew up, but these kids worked.” Dan is a workaholic, just like his father and grandfather before him, says Don. At 16, Dan Johnson got his driver’s license and started a business with his friend Mike Burger. The two bought day-old calves at auction, bottle-fed them and raised them up to 1,000-pound steers, then sold them. “I think they split up forty thousand [dollars] apiece,” says Don Johnson. “And some of the kids looked at him. ... He bought himself a BMW when he was young, and he did that with his own money. But he worked so hard for it.” Dan Johnson says he shouldn’t get all the

credit. “I didn’t realize at the time that really the reason I was making money was because Grandpa was giving me the ranch, paying the electricity, giving me the hay. I didn’t have expenses. Now I really see the gift that he gave me; he gave me the gift of hard work.” Still, when you’re able buy your own truck and ski boat at 17, as Dan did, community college can seem a bit pointless. After graduating from Eureka High in 1982, he briefly attended Shasta College in Redding but quickly returned to Humboldt County, where a friend gave him the opportunity to build the Carriage Car Wash on Broadway in Eureka. He’d helped his parents build a house on Fickle Hill, so he knew the basics of construction. Shortly after, Johnson met local real estate developer Mark Rynearson, who hired him as a builder. At Rynearson’s request, Johnson took a crash course and earned his contractor’s license. In 1986 Johnson founded his eponymous company, Danco, which grew steadily during the 1990s, becoming one of the region’s most successful companies. “We’ve probably built 600 houses in Humboldt County,” Johnson says. And that’s not all. Danco’s group of companies (there have been at least two dozen separate entities) have built medical offices, nonprofit centers, assisted living facilities, commercial offices, school buildings and more. About 15 years ago, Danco’s insurance agent introduced Dan and Kendra, who

co-owns the business, to an affordable housing developer named Caleb Roope. Through a partnership with Roope, Danco has become Humboldt County’s foremost developer of affordable housing projects, a complicated field that involves state and federal tax incentives. In 2002, Dan Johnson was named “Construction Person of the Year” by the Humboldt Builders’ Exchange, and by the mid-2000s Danco was riding high atop the housing bubble with more than 300 employees, offices in Arcata, Bakersfield and Fort Collins, Colo., and projects spread across 13 western states. The economic collapse of 2008 caused Danco to cut its staff by more than half (and even to consider bankruptcy, Johnson says), but now it’s thriving again, with a workforce of 225. The company’s most ambitious project has yet to see the light of day. In December 2000 Dan and Kendra Johnson partnered with Sun Valley Floral Farms owners Lane and Kathryn DeVries and, under the name Samoa-Pacific Group, purchased the town of Samoa and 75 adjacent acres from Simpson Timber Co. for about $4.8 million. The $105 million vision for the peninsula town includes almost 300 new homes, a business park, a major utility overhaul, retail shops and a town plaza. The project got rezoning clearance from the Coastal Commission in 2011, and Johnson says he expects it to be presented at county public hearings by next May or June. continued on page 19

I’m a freakin’ winner, man. I’m about as competitive a guy as you’ll ever meet.

At least, according to Merriam-Webster, Oxford and other dictionaries. After the controversy blew up Johnson consulted some “pretty high-level” educators and political consultants, including “a guy who worked on the governor’s campaign,” to see if he’d done anything wrong. “And they said absolutely not,” Johnson says. (He declines to provide the names of these experts.) The criticism started almost immediately. Johnson got an email from an HSU professor on the evening of the graduation ceremony informing him that he was “a laughing stock,” neither special nor smart. As weeks went by without a response from Johnson the criticism grew louder, with people demanding an apology for stealing someone else’s speech, a major sin in academia. (Johnson says he was occupied through June and most of July with an intense family issue. He declines to elaborate except to say, “We were taking care of some concerns with our kids.”) It’s true that some rules are different outside of academia. Arcata resident Sean Armstrong, who worked for 5 ½ years as a planning manager for Danco, says, “In most of the rest of your life, the standards for plagiarism are much, much less severe.” In the business world, people frequently work collaboratively, loan out spreadsheets and freely share a lot of information, Armstrong says. He thinks that relying on the expertise of others is one of the things that has made Johnson so successful in his field. Johnson listens to the best consultants he can find and follows business practices that have worked well elsewhere. The results speak for themselves, Armstrong says.

So what,

if anything, do Dan Johnson’s professional achievements have to do with his plagiarism scandal? It depends on who you ask. Johnson and his family

believe that he’s being vilified by lefties who resent success, while many of his critics take the opposite side of the same coin, saying that he’s been allowed to skate by for so long because of his money and the influence it carries. Elaine Cunha, one of the Arcata High students who graduated the day of Johnson’s speech, expressed a common sentiment in her July 17 letter to the Arcata Eye, in which she says that “if Mr. Johnson refuses to apologize or even acknowledge his error, it teaches us graduates that power and money lets you get by with a different set of rules.” Both views hold that Johnson is being treated based on what he represents rather than the specifics of his speech. The only difference is that Johnson and his family feel he’s been punished inordinately while his critics feel he hasn’t been punished enough. Does this stem from differing views on plagiarism? Is it, in fact, about the speech? Or are Dan and Kendra Johnson correct? Is it personal? The Johnsons look stern sitting in their living room as the setting sun pours through their bay-facing windows. Jayden, the blondhaired 13-year-old, sits perched on the couch with her siblings, her bare feet tucked beneath her. She was standing at the back of the crowded room during the Sept. 10 school board meeting that ended with the resignation vote, and she had a hard time listening to what people said. “I saw all these people get up and talk about how much of a terrible person my dad is. And some of the stuff they were talking about wasn’t even about the speech.” Carter’s been hearing things at school, like this one guy who came up and said the only reason Sydney graduated and is going to Santa Clara University this fall is because their dad paid for her good grades. “That kind of shit just pisses me off,” Carter says. continued on next page

continued from previous page At public meetings and in letters to the editors of local newspapers, people have argued that by plagiarizing a well-known speech and sparking this whole controversy, Dan Johnson ruined his daughter’s graduation day. What does Sydney think of these criticisms? “My entire school career, I’ve always been taught that plagiarism is not OK,” she says. “It’s not to mess with, and they teach you the proper forms of citation. So I definitely know that plagiarism is not something that should be tolerated or is tolerated.” How does she square that with her dad’s speech? She says she hasn’t really gone back to compare it with McCullough’s. And her graduation day, she says, was great. “It was definitely special, and it was awesome for him to speak and everything he said,” Sydney says.

she, too, has been less than impressed with Danco projects. “There’s almost always a missing piece,” she says. A Danco project will come before the city missing its water quality certifications, or it will be slated for toxic sites that haven’t been cleaned up yet, or it will have access problems, Brown says. And Danco won’t make the necessary fixes until forced. “If the citizens weren’t raising their hands, you just wonder what would happen,” she says.

Johnson disputes

the unflattering characterizations of Danco. During the conversation at his house he proudly says, “I’ve never sued anybody; I’ve never been sued. We’ve done a lot of shit in a lot of places, and we get along with people.” However, court records show that Danco — and Dan Johnson personally — have sued and been sued, numerous times. Many of the suits involved Danco property management companies suing tenants for unlawful detainer, a routine legal step that’s part of the eviction process. But other suits were more serious. Asked about this long list of lawsuits (more than three dozen in all), Johnson initially holds to his claim of zero litigation. After thinking for a minute he acknowledges the eviction cases (“We’ve had a shitload of those”) and apologizes for forgetting them. But regarding the more substantial cases Johnson says, “They’re news to me. I mean that from the bottom of my heart.” Some specifics: In 2003, Robert Morris (who’s now a county planning commissioner) and his wife Carol sued Danco and Johnson personally for $100,000 in damages, alleging that “neg-

ligent construction” (specifically, a leaky deck and lousy ventilation) had caused dry rot under the house. The case was dismissed pending repairs to the house. “I used to live there,” Johnson says when told the address. He says his company built the house and his family lived there for a bit before selling it (not to the Morrises). Regarding the lawsuit he says, “I don’t know anything about that.” Court records show Danco and Johnson represented themselves. So it’s unclear how the case might have escaped Johnson’s attention. In 1993, Danco Construction was among 11 plaintiffs (all builders or construction companies) which sued the McKinleyville Union School District, challenging the assessment of developer fees. This case dragged on and on, ultimately resulting in a 1995 settlement that lowered developer fees in the district. Johnson doesn’t remember much about it. “I don’t know why my name was on it,” he says, “but it does ring a bell.” In 2001 a man named John Shannon sued Danco Builders for refusal to pay a claim, with Shannon saying Danco owed him $47,256.26. The Journal tracked down Mr. Shannon, who explained via email that he’d been subcontracted by Danco to build new cabinets at Bloomfield School in Arcata. Shannon says Danco kept requesting changes, which drove up the cost of construction, and, “When it came time to pay for the changes Danco/Dan Johnson refused to pay.” Shannon says he met personally with Dan Johnson and in the course of their dispute Johnson said something like, I’m bigger than you and have more money than you do. “Not an exact quote but pretty close,” Shannon writes. “He was being a bully and he also knew that the statement was true.” At the time, Shannon says, he was in a serious financial crisis and so decided to take a settlement for a fraction of what was owed. “Mr. Johnson’s unwarranted failure to pay me in full ... put me and my business into a tailspin that I was not able to recover from,” Shannon writes. “It forced me into bankruptcy and the loss of my business.” Asked about this case, Johnson looked into it. “I checked around. It isn’t me that he’s talking about,” Johnson says. “Who the hell knows who it was in our organization? ... I’m not saying the conversations didn’t occur, [but] they didn’t occur with me.” continued on page 22

a definition somewhere that says what is a sincere apology? I mean, I don’t know. Seriously. I don’t get it.” In the written statement, Johnson did apologize for not crediting McCullough, but he also said he’d given a “personalized version” of the speech. And his statement concludes by condemning “the self-appointed referees of good and evil” — meaning anyone who refuses to move on — for having an intolerance that’s “a far more profound flaw than mine.” In his second statement, delivered in person at the Sept. 10 school board meeting, Johnson said “I’m sorry” a number of times, but never for plagiarism, and never without judgment in the subtext. He was sorry that his critics “feel the way they feel,” sorry that the issue has wasted so much of the district’s time and sorry that his family has suffered from unfair attacks. Johnson didn’t help his cause when he lashed out at a woman who’d snickered during his prepared remarks, calling her “Miss Teacher” and telling her to “go stand in the hallway while I speak.” He chastised people for focusing on something so insignificant, saying, “Nobody

was killed. No drugs were given or sold to any children.” And he sought to close the book on the matter: “We all need to move this district forward and focus on the kids.” Turns out, though, that the kids are still focused on Dan Johnson. The school year’s first issue of Arcata High School’s student newspaper, the Pepperbox, was dominated by a large cover package devoted to Dan Johnson and plagiarism, including opinion pieces, a story on the school’s plagiarism policies and an illustrated timeline of events in the Dan Johnson saga. In the introductory piece, student Editorin-Chief Piper Bazard wrestles with Johnson’s accusation, asking in the headline, “Are we intolerant?” Bazard argues, “We have a responsibility as young scholars to participate in the ongoing dialog surrounding not just a key community figure, but the overarching topic of plagiarism.” Dan Johnson suggests another lesson can be drawn. “They talk about bullying in the high school, well what the hell do you think this is?” he asks. “Talking about people like they’ve talked about me? It is bullying. ... I mean, who really owes who an apology?” l

Oh SCRAP!

The creative reuse center gets ready to rumble By Ken Weiderman artbeat@northcoastjournal.com

s we speak in the September sunlight behind the Marsh Commons, Tibora Girczyc-Blum is still catching her breath from dancing in the Samba parade at the North Country Fair. Her whole group stitched together its outfits from reused materials. At our table built from used railroad ties, the sun glints off of her shimmery gold top, and she points out the pathways around us made from broken up chunks of old concrete. “Here’s what I have, here’s what I want to do and now I’m going to do it,” says Girczyc-Blum with confidence. She’s one of the founding members of SCRAP Humboldt. SCRAP stands for School and Community Reuse Action Project, and its hip creative reuse center is located in the Marsh Commons on South G Street in Arcata. With a little more than a year under its belt, SCRAP has quickly emerged as a critical resource for people looking to acquire or offload art, craft and office supplies.

SCRAP in Portland. With the help of former recycling center educator Patti Johnson and artist Spring Garrett, she applied to the Oregon non-profit to start a similar venture in Arcata. After six months of fundraising, organizing and proving that this area truly needed a place like SCRAP, they were accepted into the organization. The Portland group is SCRAP’s fiscal sponsor and provides their business model, branding and guidance. “Here’s how we do things, here’s what we do,” they told Girczyc-Blum, “Now you do it in your community in whatever way fits best.” A year later, keeping up with the influx and demand for materials is tough. SCRAP relies completely on donated goods, with stuff arriving daily from citizens, businesses and places like Humboldt State University and College of the Redwoods. “We never know what we’ll have. We never know what we’re going to get!” says Girczyc-Blum. Filled with fabric, yarn, art supplies and even “weird and quirky” things like CPR dummies and dental molds, SCRAP has become an important hub for connecting creative people to

… this live crafting competition promises to mix the sass of Project Runway with the grit and vigor of Iron Chef for an allout intergalactic craft battle of felt-andadrenaline-fueled fury.

SCRAP’s 850-square-foot shop is packed to the ceiling with innumerable items that have taken a direction away from the dump (14,000 pounds so far) and now sit, ripe with possibility, waiting for reuse. Girczyc-Blum and her crew have cultivated a 21st century not-only-is-itcool-to-reuse-stuff-but-it-also-helps-theenvironment vibe — a place where artists, crafters, teens and elders can all come to satisfy that creative urge. A Humboldt native, Girczyc-Blum spent time living in San Francisco and relied heavily on the creative reuse centers that populate the Bay Area. Upon returning home, she saw that the Arcata Community Recycling Center had closed, taking with it a huge resource for reuse. She bounced around to some creative reuse conferences and found a place called

supplies they didn’t even know were available. Artists have material request cards on file at the shop, and teachers can fill out donation requests via SCRAP’s website. Of course, most of their business comes from the small business owners, parents, crafters and artists who regularly visit the store to peruse the ever-changing inventory. In October, SCRAP is presenting Humboldt County’s first ever Rebel Craft Rumble. This ain’t your grandma’s craft show! In front of a booty-shakin’, DJ-bouncin’ crowd, this live crafting competition promises to mix the sass of Project Runway with the grit and vigor of Iron Chef for an all-out intergalactic craft battle of felt-and-adrenaline-fueled fury. Four teams from various nonprofits will be presented with a scenario where they’ll craft a solution out of preselected materials directly from SCRAP’s shop. After 10 minutes of cheers and heckles from the audience, their creation will be judged on creativity, artistic value, technique and utility. Winners of the first round will compete with the winners from round two for the glorious title of Extreme Ultimate Supreme Craft Master. SCRAP is modeling the event after an annual one in Portland with a few Kinetic and Humboldt twists, and proceeds will support SCRAP’s educational programs. Events like the Rebel Craft Rumble highlight the energetic, funky community that has evolved around creative reuse. Girczyc-Blum gets a serious look in her eyes when she talks about SCRAP’s educational mission. “We want people to be responsible in how they consume but also responsible in how they use materials.” She notes that recycling has come to dominate the three R’s, but “remember those other two? They’re pretty cool!” The Rebel Craft Rumble is on Saturday, Oct. 19, but you don’t have to wait that long to check out all that SCRAP has to offer. Stop by during Arts! Arcata on Friday, Oct. 11, when you can meet the Rumble teams (with names like “The Sparkle Ninjas,” who wouldn’t want to meet them?) and peruse the re-boutique, the part of their store that features finished works that are at least 75 percent reused. SCRAP board member David Bethuy will be the featured artist, showing his “Vegan Taxidermy” series. ●

Our Town Meets Frankenstein!

Classic American play at Ferndale, classic film comedy musical at HSU By William S. Kowinski stagematters@northcoastjournal.com

Gino Bloomberg and Brandi Lacy as George and Emily in Our Town. Photo by Tina M. Harris

year after Kaufman and Hart’s You Can’t Take It With You won the Pulitzer Prize in 1937, Thornton Wilder won it for Our Town. You Can’t Take It With You ends its run at North Coast Rep this weekend, while Our Town opens at Ferndale Repertory Theatre. Thornton Wilder was a classically educated teacher and successful novelist who felt drawn to the stage. He called theatre “the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being. … We live in what is, but we find a thousand ways not to face it. Great theatre strengthens our faculty to face it.” Legendary director Tyrone Guthrie described Wilder as a “ceaseless traveler” and “a notable wit” whose work expresses “between the lines of story or play, one human soul speaking to another.” Wilder’s wanderlust began in childhood, as he rarely lived in one place for

more than a year or two. Among his California stops were Ojai, near Santa Barbara, and Berkeley, where he attended high school. At Oberlin College he had the reputation of being “worldly yet somehow ‘small town.’” As his first staged original full-length play, Our Town had a rough beginning. After a well-received tryout at Princeton, it bombed in Boston. By then the director and the playwright were no longer speaking. It went to Broadway for one performance and was saved by enthusiastic reviews, but its 10-month run lost money despite the Pulitzer Prize. It quickly got new life in revivals around the country — a number of them featuring Thornton Wilder playing the key role of the narrator, known as the Stage Manager. He did so again in 1946 at the Westport Country Playhouse in Connecticut, where Paul Newman would play that part in 2002. Today it’s said that Our Town is performed every day of the year somewhere in the world.

Partly because of its simple staging, it’s become a high school staple. But a 2009 off-Broadway production directed by David Cromer became the longest running Our Town in history. Cromer stripped the play of the nostalgia and sentimentality that had upset Wilder in the original production. In Cromer’s configuration, the audience was seated on the same level as the actors, almost within the playing area. I saw a professional production at the Pittsburgh Public Theatre in 1991 (directed by Robert Allan Ackerman) that also did this. It especially made the key scene of the play (you’ll know it when you see it) very powerful, one of those unforgettable theatrical moments. But the play has endured because audiences connect to the words as spoken, whatever the staging. Specific lives are portrayed, governed by the universal truths of life and death. In his Harvard lectures on American characteristics, Wilder said that poet Emily Dickinson solved the American problem of loneliness “by loving the particular while living in the universal.” Audiences can now enter into this unique American classic at Ferndale Repertory Theatre. Directed by Patrick Porter, it features Tina Marie Harris as Stage Manager, with Brandi Lacy, Gino Bloombery, Willi and Bill Welton, Charles Beck, Stephen Avis, Carol Martinez, Scott Monadnoick, Dana Zurasky, Shelley Harris, Laureen Savage, Michael and James Swiker. Sets are by Les Izmore, lights by Liz Uhazy, sound by Peter Zuleger, costumes by Denise Ryles and Rosemary Smith. Our Town previews on Thursday, Oct. 10, and continues on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. through Nov. 3. Tickets: Ferndalerep.org, 707-7865483.

Coming Up:

HSU presents Young Frankenstein: The Musical for two weekends beginning Thursday, Oct. 17. As he did with the stage version of The Producers, Mel Brooks wrote the script, music and lyrics, slightly parodying past Broadway songs. This 2007 musical comedy version doesn’t require familiarity with the classic 1974 Young Frankenstein movie, but key comic moments recur, with some variation and embellishment. Director Rae Robison and designer Derek Lane are applying an industrial “steam punk” (or Frankensteam) approach to the set and the Monster. But the Monster’s specific look (and the identity of the well-known local actor who plays him) are secrets for audiences to discover. Erik Standifird plays Dr. Frederick Frankenstein, grandson of the original monster-maker. He played the lead in last year’s North Coast Rep production of Anything Goes, the Cole Porter show that inspired Mel Brooks’ musical approach to this one. A large ensemble features Anna Duchi, Ashley Adams, Christopher Moreno, Sasha Shay and Keith Brown. Elisabeth Harrington is music director, Paul Cummings conducts the band, and Lizzie Chapman is dance choreographer. Marissa Menezes designed costumes, Telfer Reynolds the lighting, Charles Thompson the sound. This comedy about a man, his monster and the women who loved them contains verbal and visible PG humor of a sexual nature — no surprise, it’s Mel Brooks. Because it’s in the relatively small Gist Hall Theatre, two Saturday matinees are added to the usual schedule of Thursday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. HSUStage.blogspot.com, 707-826-3928. l

Autumn Booze By Dev Richards

tabletalk@northcoastjournal.com

thing tastes like spiced magic. The food and fragrance of fall have a tang that no other season offers, and the same holds true for autumnal booze. With so many bars, taprooms and wineries to choose from and so little daylight to spare, it’s hard to know where to start on the quest for the quintessential, seasonal beverage. Rest assured, we’ve done the footwork A steaming cup of Baked Pear. Photo by Dev Richards for you. The Speakeasy is a classy joint and there’s an alluring artistry to t’s always sad to see summer go, their cocktails (411 Opera Alley, Eureka). when everything turns from green to Bartender/Sorceress of the Sauce Sibrown, shorts are replaced with jeans erra Anderson didn’t miss a beat at the and the word “iced” is removed from request for something that “tastes like coffee orders. Rather than dwell in autumn.” In a flourish of pouring, shaking the funk of another summer lost, it’s betand zesting, two drinks appeared on the ter to look at the perks of autumn: Those bar, one cold and one hot. The “baked corduroys are practical again, mowing your pear,” semi-translucent and steaming, is lawn is conveniently impossible and every-

one of those drinks that will sneak up on you. The combination of Absolut Pears, DeKuyper Buttershots, house-made spiced simple syrup, lemon and a twist of orange has a deceivingly non-alcoholic taste. It’s more tart and less sweet than a mulled cider, which makes it go down so easily. Granted, the heat keeps you from gulping it down too quickly, but once it cools, all bets are off. The “Dia de los Muertos” brings pumpkins into the limelight. If you’ve ever eaten a pumpkin pie and thought, “I’d sure like to drink this,” then you are in luck. Sierra filled the graham crackerrimmed martini glass with puréed pumpkin, Absolut Vanilla, Baileys Irish Cream, DeKuyper Buttershots, and a dash of cream. (A simple napkin-wipe on the rim makes the drink a gluten-free masterpiece.) It’s sweeter than the baked pear and probably isn’t the sort of drink

you’d want to repeat through the evening (unless you like a sugar crash). But it’s the perfect drink for capturing the essence of autumn. The Local is the cider drinkers’ Shangri La (517 F St., Eureka). Not only do they have a huge selection of bottled ciders, but they also have at least three or four ciders on tap. The most satisfying on-tap option is the Spire. It’s dark, thick and not too sweet. Server Ari Friedman was also quick to suggest the Ace Pumpkin Cider, saying, “I like it because it doesn’t taste like pumpkin pie filling … it’s actual pumpkin.” He’s right; what at first seems like an odd concept turns out to be a surprisingly pleasant and refreshing alternative to traditional apple ciders. So throw on those corduroys, ignore your lawn and have a drink. Why fight the onset of fall when you could embrace it with booze? l

Hey, McGUinty!

Worst Facebook Share Ever? By Jessica McGuinty

ey McGuinty!

My 26-year-old son is handsome, brilliant, funny and soon to be a doctoral in clinical psychology. He has a great relationship with his ex, who is Cuban. They dog sit for each other, have lots of common friends, and when he’s sick she drops off Sprite and chicken soup. His current girlfriend says he may no longer text, email, talk or otherwise interact with his ex, thus no contact with the friends, dog … and what if he gets sick?! The latest: When a Cuban restaurant was suggested for a group dinner in San Francisco, current girlfriend says: No Cuban restaurants. I am concerned my son is going to lose out on many great adventures in life, including a true friendship. Yes, she is pushy and he is whipped, but how does a mom approach a son with advice that other trains will be coming down the track? — Worried Mama WORRIED MAMA! I really want to not be the stereotypical snarky, mocking advice columnist. That’s so 1998. But my first reaction was, “If your son is so brilliant and about to be a shrink, he should be smart enough to dump this jealous, controlling girlfriend.” I mean, right?! Clearly you know it too. So if you’re smart enough to spawn such a genius, you need to be smart enough to STFU. (Google it.) In short, back off, Mama. Kids generally don’t listen to their

parents about relationships. And for all we know, her fears may be founded in reality. Maybe she sees a lingering connection between them that is triggering this. Your comment about “what if he gets sick?” is telling. The ex is not the only provider of Sprite and chicken soup. It’s a lovely but entirely unnecessary gesture that raises the question, where is the current girlfriend when it comes to fulfilling this need? Why can’t he drag his sorry sick ass to the store himself? I promise, if your son were to back off a bit on his ex-dependency, he’ll survive his next case of the sniffles. Maybe that will help the current girlfriend chill and you can again enjoy Platanos Maduros as a family. Your best bet is to talk to one of his friends you’re close with to see if the rest of his crew is worried or if you’re just being too … motherly. If your son can hear the truth from a friend, good. Because seriously, I’m worried about what happens if he ever befriends a lady from Turkey. Your Thanksgivings might become vegetarian without you wanting them to.

Hey McGuinty!

I’m really bad at asking for or accepting help. It goes way beyond being independent or self-reliant. How can I learn to accept help or advice when I would really benefit from it? — Hal HAL! Your question is one many people face, myself included! I know you in real life

and asked permission to provide the context that you are a doctor. So you work all day helping people. I think that matters here. It does seem that people who are the worst at asking for help are the best at providing it. You’re a giver, so you know how good it feels to be helpful. Put yourself on the other side of that equation. Let other givers feel good by helping you. Beyond that, you just have to get over it. Suck it up and get over yourself. Really. That’s the only answer. Our lives and experiences are a continual ebb and flow. You know how wonderful it feels to do something nice for someone, and you know how humbled and full of gratitude you feel when you allow someone to do something nice for you. Neither of these experiences trumps the other. Both are integral to the human experience. Gratitude is an intense, beautiful feeling that you deprive yourself of if you don’t allow people to do things for you. Your response? Thank you. You say thank you, you mean it, you do something for them someday, and the energy exchange continues. It’s pretty awesome.

Hey McGuinty!

Recently, a (now-former) Facebook “friend” posted that her 11-year-old had gotten her first period. This woman has 2,000 Facebook “friends.” It alarms me that she would post this sensitive information to so many people, some of whom are strangers. When I was 13, I felt weird when my mom told my dad that

I had “become a woman.” I feel bad for this girl, and a little scared that too much information is appearing about her on the Internet. Am I being oversensitive? — Privacy Hound PRIVACY HOUND! OMG I’m facepalming for this poor girl! I can’t even imagine. I was mortified when I “became a woman” and my mom forced me and my BFF Betsy to go out for ice cream to “celebrate.” She also wouldn’t stop singing “This Girl Is a Woman Now” while Betsy and I slid further and further down in our red parlor booths. Mo-om! GAWD! You say this is a now-former FB friend, so at least you’ve done yourself the favor of ridding yourself of her oversharing. You’re not asking if you should say anything to the mother, you ask only if you’re being oversensitive. Um. No. Dear God, no. You can bet that you’re not the only one of the 2,000 “friends” who gave their computers the side-eye when they read that status. We can only hope the daughter forbids the mother from posting further overshares. ● Wow, can your Facebook question top this one?! Write heymcguinty@ northcoastjournal.com.

GET OUT!

Masochist, Meet ‘Peak Fun’ A great mountain bike trail off State Route 36 — and you can hike it, too By Amy Cirincione

outdoors@northcoastjournal.com

Amy Cirincione, beginning her ride at a suspension bridge that crosses the Trinity River. Photo by Jon o’connor

met my husband on the Deschutes River, where we guided a group of (at-risk/delinquent) teens through rapids for a week. We measured the next four years of our courtship in miles of whitewater rafting, hiking and rock climbing. Initially it seemed so romantic, falling in love against a wilderness backdrop. But eventually, the unfortunate truth emerged. The activities I preferred — backpacking, sea kayaking, cross-country cycling — bored my now-husband to tears. The kinds of trips he loved — Class 4 rapids and single-track mountain biking — scared the bejesus out of me. When I proposed a multi-day backpacking trip, Jon replied, “Why would I want to carry all my stuff on my back and eat dehydrated food when I can throw my gear and a cooler in the raft and end my day on a beach with a beer?” I mumbled something about endurance and simplicity and put my pack back in the closet. Over the years, we’ve learned to compromise. I go on lower-key rafting trips with him; he hikes with me if the following criteria are met: the hike takes a halfday or less and ends at a swimming hole, a peak with a view or another rewarding destination. Meanwhile, I backpack and cycle with friends who enjoy my brand of grueling moderation. Two weeks ago, I planned a lateseason backpacking trip up Stuart’s Fork in the Trinity Alps. But when my friends backed out, I wasn’t comfortable doing an extended trip in a new area by myself.

I knew Jon would never go for a three-day expedition, so I started looking for other options I could do solo. I considered the Rogue River trail, which runs from Grants Pass to Gold Beach along the river. It’s spectacular in the late summer and early fall, but it’s a hefty drive and the shuttle costs were daunting. Instead I found a poor man’s Rogue River trail: The South Fork National Recreation Trail along the Trinity River. The trail begins at the Scotts Flat Campground, just off Highway 36 in the town of Forest Glen. It was originally a hunting and traveling trail for Native Americans, and then a wagon road used by cattle drivers and pack trains during the Gold Rush. The trail is now a littleused hiking trail that extends from Scotts Flat for 7.2 miles to the mouth of Smokey Creek. Most hikers camp here and turn around the next day. But the trail continues an additional 10 miles to Double Cabins and has ample camp sites, so the trip could easily be three days. The trail is known for its remoteness and its moderate elevation gain, making it accessible for beginning hikers and families. The idea of a long, remote, nondramatic hike deeply appealed to me. Jon and I met while working at a wilderness therapy company in Oregon, he as a rafting guide and me as a therapist. I’ve spent months on end hiking in the backcountry in silent reflection with teenagers, with nothing to distract us from our own thoughts but sweeping vistas and sore

legs. I started my packing list. When I showed the trail map to Jon, he noticed the length and the grade, and asked, “Why don’t we mountain bike it?” Because I am a practitioner of the gracious art of marital compromise, I agreed to explore the trail on wheels instead of on foot if it meant having fun outside with my husband. We decided to ride the first half of the trail to Smokey Creek and then evaluate if we had the time, energy and light to complete the second half. I am not a bad-ass mountain biker. I do well up steep hills (due to masochism and strong legs), but on downhills I grip the handlebars and tense up instead of letting the bike and my body roll through the curves. I tend to envision myself faceplanting or flying off a cliff on every tight turn. But the trail looked mild on the map, so I figured I was up for it. It took us about two hours to get to the trailhead from Eureka. The weather was overcast and we drove through several rain showers. We were the only vehicle at the trailhead parking lot on a Sunday morning. The trail begins on a narrow suspension bridge that spans the Trinity. We scooted our bikes across the bridge and were able to begin the ride on the other side of the river. The trail is well-graded and relatively wide and flat initially, and it snakes along, above and periodically through the river. Some of the streams had split-log footbridges across them, but we rode our bikes through most of them. Jon did this gleefully, and

then coached me through the first few crossings. “Downshift! Pedal hard!” By the third crossing I was a champ, and Jon recorded me shrieking with pride on our camera. That film will not be available on the NCJ website. The clouds parted around mile three, and we stopped for lunch on a gravel bar in the river to dry our gear. We talked about our work in the wilderness, reminiscing about other cold, wet times — setting up shelters in the frigid, high desert, digging fire pits deep in the snow of the Cascades, and rowing for miles against the wind through canyons. It’s always fun to talk about those times while warming your backs in the sun. After lunch, we rode for another two miles up a gradual but persistent incline into wooded bluffs until we were viewing the river from above. The trail narrowed as we ascended, and we were steadily working. We arrived at a trail sign that proclaimed Smokey Creek to be three miles away. As we examined the map, the skies darkened and it started to rain. If I had been by myself, I would have pushed through to our pre-decided destination. Would it have been pleasant to ride in the cold and the rain? No, of course not. But I am an outdoor masochist. Fortunately, my husband’s high-adrenaline adventures have taught him to end his days at “peak fun.” He looked at the time (2 p.m.), looked at the sky, looked at the map, and then at me. “I think we should turn around here,” he said. I had a few flashes of guilt, but my ultimate emotional response was relief. I was exhausted. It was only as we rode back that I realized how steep the incline had been on the way in; we practically flew back to the trailhead. Even a non-bad-ass mountain biker like me can appreciate the joy of whizzing down a hard-earned trail. I finally relaxed my shoulders and trusted the bike to navigate the tight turns. We zoomed through the creek crossing in what was now a downpour and arrived back at the truck covered in mud and rain, but gleeful. Peak fun obtained. l If you would like to write a Get Out!

Lust for Life

A novel approach to this week’s musical seductions By Jennifer Savage thehum@northcoastjournal.com

Chapter One

They smile at each other, slap knees, and pass the pipe as talk of those days flutters back and forth. Oh, the protests! Oh, the music! Oh, the hair and clothes, flowing long. It was a beautiful time. If only we could revisit it, they think, swapping out another Dead album on the turntable for some Joni Mitchell. Wait! Someone says, we can. Yes, it’s true. Thursday night, Joanne Rand channels the ’60s, reviving psychedelic folk, passion and sincerity — take that, you ironic hipsters of today! — this Thursday night at Mad River Brewing Company from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Locally renowned pianist Tim Randles accompanies.

Chapter Two

She wants to just say, “Look. Listen.” A glance, a snippet, what more do they need to know? Must she say out loud that this band is sex on a stick? The idea of objectifying them troubles her — slightly — but sweet Jesus, look at them. Even in the still pictures, that dark timeless handsomeness shimmies off the screen, all sugar and swagger. Seeing them live, the way the trio plays conduit for a delicately restrained garage rock that every so often bursts into something straightforward and raw — The Blakes bring everything a girl or boy could want, sex and love and rock and roll, all for a mere $15 at Humboldt Brews on Thursday night. Oh, she is looking forward to this. Doors at 9:30 p.m. The Trouble, appropriately, opens.

Do you know Mark Farina? WHO: The Blakes WHO: Hank 3 Here is some info about him: “While exploring purist forms WHEN: Thursday, Oct. 10, 9:30 p.m. WHEN: Wednesday, Oct. 16, 7 p.m. of house music, Mark develWHERE: Humboldt Brews WHERE: Mateel Community Center oped his trademark style, known TICKETS: $15 TICKETS: $25 as ‘Mushroom Jazz’: acid jazz infused with the West Coast’s organic productions along with Biloxi and the Fucks out of New Orleans. urban beats.” I wanted to tell you By the end of the previous sentence, more, but opened a door into his website you should have known if that’s the sort “Tell me what am I supposed to do/ and haven’t returned to the outside world of thing that appeals to you. I can do no Tell me what am I supposed to do/Tell since. Some respected judges of this more. Five bucks, late show, drinking age me what am I supposed to do/Tell me sort of thing consider Farina one of the and up only. what am I supposed to do. …” OK! You’re top DJs in the world. Lucid Dream Lab supposed to call KHUM (786-5486), Productions present him at Arcata Theatre request “The Cage” and then say, “Oh, Lounge, also on Thursday.

Behold salsa: fresh, piquant and colorful, savior of bland dishes, the lone healthy food on the game-day buffet. And salsa contains multitudes — spicy, fruity; just think where an adventurous chef and a curious child might go with it. Better yet, find out. At noon on Saturday, follow the sound of crunching chips and veggies to the Arcata Plaza, where teams of local elementary school students will be competing in the fourth annual North Coast Youth Culinary AllSTARS Salsa Recipe Competition. Each team learns about nutrition and is mentored by a local chef who helps the team come up with a zinger. Have you seen Viva Las Veggies in the store? That was last year’s winner from South Fortuna Elementary, coached by Patty Lapham from River’s Edge. The county education office’s nutrition program and the Rising Stars Foundation put this thing on to teach kids about eating right and cooking. It’s enough to shame you out of that Hot Pocket. Really. Put it down. It’s all happening during the farmers market, so you can sample, vote and then go home and freestyle a salsa of your own. — Jennifer Fumiko Cahill

Lost in Space

Gravity pulls you in and Runner Runner stumbles By John J. Bennett filmland@northcoastjournal.com

GRAVITY. Critics have complained that Alfonso Cuaron and director of photography Emmanuel Lubezki tried too hard with the cinematography in Children of Men, and that their meticulously designed tracking shots, little visual masterpieces, take us out of the story rather than drawing us in. But Cuaron’s reverence for story and character is well-served and not diminished by his very technical visual style, certainly in Children of Men, perhaps never more so than in Gravity. The movie opens with a team of American astronauts at work on the Hubble Space Telescope. Veteran Matt Kowalski (George Clooney) does laps around their shuttle with an experimental jet pack, while motion-sick medical researcher Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) — on her first shuttle mission — attempts to install a device she’s designed on the telescope. Word comes from Mission Control that a cloud of debris from a destroyed Russian satellite is headed their way. They attempt to disengage from the Hubble as quickly as possible, but before they can react, the space shrapnel is on them and the rest of their crew is killed. Their shuttle inoperable, Kowalski and Stone have to rely on each other and Kowalski’s jet pack to get to the International Space Station some 60 miles away. Needless to say, the trip does not go smoothly. Gravity represents the best of science fiction as I see it. It’s breathless and expansive, but at its heart is an honest, concise, human story. It manages to visually convey both the beauty and horror of space, creating a strange feeling of claustrophobia out of all that vastness. Bullock’s performance is an especially strong one; she

Movie Times ENOUGH SAID. A woman finds out her wonderful new boyfriend is her friend’s horrible ex. Whoops. Julia Louis-Dreyfus and the late James Gandolfini star. PG13. 93m. MACHETE KILLS.

convincingly renders Stone as a person at the intersection of hope and resignation. She gives life to the story at the heart of the movie, which is ultimately about loss, strength and perseverance. Gravity may be the most visually ambitious, technically challenging movie we’ll see this year. Very few shots take place outside of the zero-gravity environment. Many of them involve multiple bodies moving on different axes in three dimensions. There are long takes and seemingly impossible tracking shots aplenty, and I can’t think of a better way to photograph this story. The movie marries style and substance almost perfectly — the technique never detracts from the story, only amplifying the critical elements. I may not have been as on-edge with anxiety as I expected (my neurochemistry is probably still recovering from Prisoners), but I found the experience engrossing from start to finish. (Incidentally, this one’s actually worth seeing in 3D). PG13. 90m.

is on-track for the big payday at a Wall Street firm when the 2008 collapse puts him out of a job. He enrolls in Princeton’s MBA program to try to re-enter the upper crust, financing his higher education with online poker winnings. But in a Hail Mary attempt to pay off his degree, Richie gets taken for everything he’s got. Having determined the mathematical impossibility of such a loss, he heads down to Costa Rica to confront the owner of the poker site, Ivan Block (Ben Affleck). Block offers him a job, everything seems to be coming up Richie — then the FBI gets involved. (It makes me tired just remembering the hackneyed plot.) Runner Runner has pretensions to sexy espionage as a behind-the-scenes thriller about gambling. But it plays out as another dumbed-down version of the same old caper story Hollywood has been remaking since the 1940s. There’s no compelling sense of danger, no surprise, no sexiness — really nothing to recommend it whatsoever. I suppose I should say that Timberlake and Affleck give strong performances, but it almost makes me feel sorry for them — it’s that poorly done. R. 91m. — John J. Bennett

[Gravity is] breathless and expansive, but at its heart is an honest, concise, human story.

RUNNER RUNNER. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a 90-minute movie this light on story or character development.

Heavenly Bodies By Paul Koudounaris, Thames & Hudson Skeletons decorated with jewels in their eye sockets, crowns of golden leaves on their fissured skulls and pearl-encrusted filigree on their ribs pose in glass cases. These are skeletons that the Catholic Church sent out in the 1500s to replenish the relics destroyed by Protestants, as well as to bolster faith in the German-speaking regions where the pope was losing influence. Creepy, but effective. Paul Koudounaris’ Heavenly Bodies: Cult treasures and spectacular saints from the catacombs digs into the strange history of these Katakombenheiligan, or “catacomb saints.” Starting with the discovery of a lost catacomb in a vineyard, Koudounaris details the sketchy evidence on which the church declares the bodies martyrs (an “M” on a grave would do). From there he follows newly minted saints to villages where nuns and craftspeople bedazzle them and congregations celebrate them. He also traces the cultural and political shifts that lead to the skeletons being made over, hidden and eventually discarded. While much of the history is for the hardcore schism fan, and there are times when Koudounaris’ writing seems to have caught the decorative bug, Heavenly Bodies is still a fast read — more than half its pages are filled with color “… a skeleton in a photographs of jeweled soldier’s the jaw-droppingly opulent figures. On costume grins one page, a skeleton from a glass case in a jeweled soldier’s costume grins from a like something glass case like someJohnny Depp thing Johnny Depp might swordfight.” might swordfight. On another page, rings adorn delicate finger bones wrapped in cheesecloth. Like “Bodies: The Exhibition,” the photos are at once repellant, fascinating and beautiful. Koudounaris doesn’t pull punches about the shady provenance of the skeletons (Saint Incognito? Really?), their political use or how they filled church coffers, both in Rome and the villages where they were sent. Neither does he mock the very powerful emotional and spiritual meaning they held (and still hold) for many of the faithful. Koudounaris takes his subject beyond historical rubbernecking and looks at how bodies can move the spirit — and why we can’t let go and can’t look away. — Jennifer Fumiko Cahill Paul Koudounaris will be at Northtown Books for a lecture and signing on Tuesday, Oct. 15 at 7 p.m.

eems we’ve always believed in an afterlife of some sort, usually (but not always) pleasant. Archeologists regularly find richly stocked graves, both human and Neanderthal, dating back tens of thousands of years. Food and drink, weapons and armor, jewelry and ornaments — all the essentials to ensure a safe passage from this realm to the next — frequently accompany skeletons. These grave goods give us a glimpse into what our ancestors thought awaits us after death. You’d think that after all this time, nothing more could be said about heaven or hell, but the New York Times nonfiction best-seller list tells us otherwise. In Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon’s Journey into the Afterlife (topping the list as I write) an otherwise comatose neurosurgeon, Dr. Eben Alexander, describes cavorting in heaven with butterflies, angels ... and nubile girls. A couple of years ago, a toddler’s tale of visiting paradise and sitting on Jesus’ lap, Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy’s Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back, sold a million copies, also making No. 1 on that same list. “We do not second-guess personal accounts,” wrote Deborah Hofmann, senior editor of The Times best-seller lists, in defense of that “nonfiction” classification. My envy for these get-rich-quick scams, er, books, is only matched by my skepticism. Yet many of the finest minds in history seem to have been convinced of the reality of the afterlife and our ability to communicate with it. Take Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. His protagonist, Sherlock Holmes, was the very epitome of cold-blooded analysis and deduction. No hunches or spirit-rapping for him! Rationality rules Holmes’ thought process: “From a drop of water, a logician could infer the possibility of an Atlantic or a Niagara without having seen or heard of one

or the other.” Yet Doyle, his creator, was about as gullible an occultist as anyone before or since, going so far as to enthusiastically endorse the infamous “Cottingley fairy” photographs. (In that hoax, two girls in Yorkshire, England, photographed themselves with pictures of fairies they’d carefully cut out from books.) Likewise, the late 19th century philosopher William James, father of “radical empiricism,” was a hard-headed rationalist by day and a credulous fool by night. He was convinced of the reality of the supernatural realm by a smooth-talking medium, Leonora Piper. Mediums back then encouraged the dear departed to rap on tables, toot trumpets and write reassuring messages on slate-boards. (“I’m fine. Food’s great. Send money.”) Then there’s Thomas Edison, personification of the pragmatic inventor-businessman — and loyal patron of Madame Blavatsky, founder of the esoteric Theosophical Society. Going back even farther, if anyone can be called the father of the scientific revolution, it’s Isaac Newton, physicist, mathematician — and alchemist and believer in apocalypticism. Historians believe that Newton’s scientific work was less important to him than the supernatural, with John Maynard Keynes claiming that “Newton was not the first of the age of reason, he was the last of the magicians.” I could go on and on, but the question remains: lacking any hard evidence, why do so many of us — 62 percent of Americans (geniuses or not), according to the 2010 Baylor Religion Survey — “absolutely believe” in heaven? Are our brains naturally wired to believe in eternal life? (“Field Notes,” Oct. 22, 2009.) Or is it simply that we’re having such a good time here that the idea of shuffling off our mortal coils becomes too great a burden to bear?
