Smile, Humboldt!

February is National Children’s Dental Health month, and as part of a national awareness campaign started by the American Dental Association, the Humboldt County Dental Advisory Group, along with Redwood Community Actions Agency’s TOOTH Program and other partners have been hosting activities and opportunities for families to receive free toothbrushes, toothpaste and floss. Dental care, it’s a family affair!

We are proud to have kicked off a new county wide campaign, Smile Humboldt, with the goal of educating the community about how easily preventable oral health issues are, with regular brushing and flossing, as well as access to preventable measures such as fluoride varnish, sealants, and fluoridated water. Tooth decay is the most common chronic disease found in children. This group has been working diligently on this campaign through a local Pediatric Oral Health Initiative launched 2 years ago, whose purpose was to really address the ongoing challenges our children face in this community in getting access to care, particularly when we lack services and providers. Our goals include, working towards making sure everyone has access to oral health supplies, regardless of economic status, as well as towards local solutions and advocacy to bring down the numbers of children in our county entering Kindergarten with such a high rate of tooth decay. If you need oral health supplies visit your local family resource center, and If you have unopened supplies to spare please look for our donation boxes around the county, including at Murphy’s Market in Sunnybrae. For more information go to our website at smilehumboldt.org and remember, you CAN prevent dental decay; it’s in your hands!

Minor Concern Editor: The plan of the new owners for the Minor Theater is great news for film lovers (“Return of the Minor,” Feb. 18). However, I have two reservations. Serving food and beverages during the movie might be profitable and might attract patrons, but how can this be anything other than distracting and interruptive?

Also, I’m not sure about children attending movies not intended for kids. I stopped going to the movies after a miserable experience trying to watch a threeand-a-half-hour long Kurosawa epic with unsupervised children disturbing viewers.

So while I’m thrilled by the prospect of wonderful programming, I’m curious to see how the actual movie-watching experience goes under these conditions.

The Dignity of Tiny Editor: I appreciate Thadeus Greenson bringing light to the conundrum of Eureka’s homeless population (“Push and Pull,” Feb. 18). The declaration of a “shelter crisis” by the city council relaxes zoning and other ordinances to allow legal, temporary occupation of some city properties. Is there a plan to shelter in some of these areas?

Secure camping or legal car camping, with the addition of water and toilet facilities, could help people stay safe, warm and dry for the rest of the winter.

The consulting service, Focus Strategies, does not recommend “sanctuary camps” as a solution but wants to place people in Eureka’s existing rentals. This depends on cooperative landlords, low rents and availability. Will rent be subsidized on an ongoing basis? How many people can be housed in this plan and how long will it take?

While Housing First is in the works, sanctuary camps could be set up fairly quickly under the mandates of the shelter crisis. Homeless advocacy group Affordable Homeless Housing Alternatives has written a detailed plan for a sanctuary camp at a relatively low cost. Because homelessness is at its root a failure of our economic system, every community in this nation is struggling for a solution.

I have visited the sanctuary camps and tiny house villages in Oregon and Washington and was impressed with the self-regulating communities I found there.

Poverty was apparent but also the dignity of having a place to call home. It is a great time to rethink our concepts of “house” or “village.” AHHA recently showcased models of tiny houses, built for just a few

thousand dollars. They also put up a model of a sanctuary camp village, reminiscent of the way native people lived on the California coast 200 years ago. I would like to see all options on the table, consulting with those in need of shelter about their needs. The solutions might be simpler than we think.

Bamboo Snafu Editor: After reading Heather Jo Flores’s article on bamboo in the backyard (“To Bamboo or Not to Bamboo,” Feb. 18), I wanted to add my two cents. I agree that a neglected grove of bamboo can be a bear to deal with. The bamboo in the picture was probably put in 20-plus years ago.

People didn’t understand the plant, neglected it, the problem started. Never use herbicide. It’s not the panacea it’s made to be. A Bobcat or backhoe would be the fastest and easiest way to destroy a grove. If that’s impossible to do in your backyard, hire a lot of young backs with bamboo shovels, Sawzalls, strong boards for leverage and some patience.

Rhizomes grow in the top 18 to 20 inches of the soil and spread out from the grove. Keep chipping away at the main bio mass, it does give. Plastic root barrier is very effective for containing the rhizomes.

I use it. It’s not fool proof; it’s only as good as you are a gardener. The plant moves out for survival, you always have to be aware of that. It’s not a matter of “win.” Do not use weed cloth or flat sheet metal, bamboo loves it! It acts like a conduit for the rhizomes because of the air and moisture

zone it creates. You’ll have a bigger mess.

The name says it all, clumping bamboos do not run, but yes they are a substantial plant. Bamboo or any plant larger than an annual should never be planted on a property line, plant 3 to 4 feet off of it. The plant will eventually fill the void space. I’ve lived in harmony with bamboo in my yard for over 20 years. Educating the public is always the hardest part of the job. Gardening is nurturing, plants and people.

Humbled by Humboldt Editor: In his review of “The Invention of Nature” (Feb. 18), Bill Cassel writes that my hero, Baron Alexander von Humboldt, “was probably gay.” I believe there’s no question about it; our lad was as gay as a spring lamb, although, as Cassel puts it, we don’t know if “he was practicing or just inclined.”

Humboldt’s sexuality ran from infatuations in his 20s with theology student Wilhelm Wegener (to whom he wrote of his “fervent love”) and Lt. Reinhardt von Haeften (“the love I have for you is more than friendship or brotherly love”); presumed intimacy with his five-year South American traveling companion Aimé Bonpland; and long-term relationships with physicist Joseph Gay-Lussac and astronomer François Arago. (Another traveling companion accused him of “shameful passions of the heart” for patronizing a gay brothel in Ecuador.)

Practicing or not, his gayness only increases my admiration for the man, who lived at a time when homosexuality was

Getting the Word out Editor: After reading “Sex and the Future” (Feb. 11), a very informative article, I would like to provide some information about the state of education at the local Planned Parenthood in Eureka.

As a member of the local Planned Parenthood Board of Advocates, I know that during the 2014-2015 school year, Planned Parenthood’s health educators provided education at 34 schools in the county, made 15 presentations at community organizations, and tabled at 17 events from Southern Humboldt to Hoopa to Del Norte County. During that school year, Spare Change, Planned Parenthood’s teen troupe, did 12 performances and 10 peer education classroom teachings. In addition, Spare Change performed at the Del Norte Child Abuse Prevention Roundtable and did a community performance in Southern Humboldt. Spare Changers donated a total of 2,693 volunteer hours during the 2014-2015 school year.

In the fall of 2015, Planned Parenthood Northern California, the successor to Six Rivers Planned Parenthood in Humboldt County, received a three-year education grant for 2016 through 2018. This has allowed Planned Parenthood in Eureka to increase the size of the education team, which will help many more students in our area gain access to the information they need to make healthy and informed choices.

Planned Parenthood provides accurate

information regarding sexuality, pregnancy, sexual abuse, gender identity and drug abuse, among other topics. This information is sorely needed by teens in our community to keep them safe during what is for some a very difficult time in their lives.

Judy Anderson, Eureka

Throbbing Editor: Jennifer Savage’s reductionist portrayal of marital sex as a hurried athletic romp (“Steamy Windows,” Feb. 11) exemplifies the decay and meretriciousness of American popular culture and current presidential politics: want of discretion, modesty and respect. Her prodigal disclosures are painfully devoid of love, beauty, poetry, tenderness, romance and eroticism. Anaïs Nin, George Sand and Madame du Barry would be mortified by this graphic picture of aridity and jadedness. Is the column intended as reality TV in print (exhibitionism, solipsism, prurience) or as an invitation to Peeping Toms at one remove?

Whatever the author’s misguided purpose, the result is a study in sophomoric regression. Scarcely a mutinous teenager would find it hip or cool. Pity would seem to be in order but pity, as Max Beerbohm said, is little sister to contempt and that is Ms. Savage’s grievous sin against the very soul of eroticism — the very embodiment of the love and teeming energy of throbbing, passionate, uncontainable life.

Paul Mann, McKinleyville

Correction: The Feb. 18 story “Return of the Minor” misidentified the studio behind the upcoming release of the Jungle Book — it’s Disney — and ignored the presence of live actors in the film. l

Road Barriers A semi-famous bus of do-gooding vagabonds stalls in Humboldt

T

he rain has stopped, the homeowner has said they can stay the night, and the inhabitants of the Vagabus are doing what they call “puking the bus,” which means removing all of the contents of the 41-foot 1971 Bluebird schoolbus so they can clean and organize within. Previous efforts at a deep cleaning have been stymied by bad weather, law enforcement and annoyed business owners, but this is among the smaller obstacles facing this group of self-proclaimed “rubber tramps.”

Despite having only traveled a fraction of their ambitious, multi-continent itinerary, raising only 4 percent of their $25,000 crowd-funding goal, and allegedly scaring off at least one reporter who couldn’t handle their free-spirited ways, the Vagabus detail has swelled from a lone bus to a caravan thanks to Humboldt County residents. The bussers’ optimism seems undimmed.

It began, as many dubious contemporary escapades do, on a subReddit. The bulletin-board type website has a vibrant community of so-called “vagabonds,” who use the Internet to connect and share information about travel plans, seasonal work and traveler-friendly communities.

Something about the call to create a “large

hobo army to embark on an epic trip across the entire Western Hemisphere” caught on. Perhaps it was the energy of the Reddit user who began the movement, Mississippi native Steven Boutwell.

At 32, Boutwell, whose road name is “Huck,” has been hitchhiking and hopping freight trains for almost his entire adult life. He could have settled down, he says, he just didn’t want to.

“I started out as homeless involuntarily, but then I got into the lifestyle,” Boutwell says. “I figured out how to take care of myself — by dumpster diving, or going to a bread store and asking for their almost-stale bread. Then I found out if I went to the foodbank and offered to volunteer, they’d give me twice as much food.”

Inspired by this discovery, Boutwell put the call out to his fellow vagabonds, hoping to gather a community of like-minded travelers who wanted to volunteer their way from Fairbanks, Alaska to Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina. Since it would be virtually impossible for a large group of people to hitchhike together, they would buy and renovate a bus for habitability. The idea went viral, due in large part to Huffington Post technology reporter Betsy Isaacson, who met Boutwell while reporting on

how homeless travelers use social media.

According to Boutwell, Isaacson agreed to buy the bus in return for the gonzo journalism experience of riding along. She left the Vagabus in late December. (Attempts to contact Isaacson for this story were unsuccessful.) A different writer, with GQ, bailed out after only 11 hours on the road.

By Nov. 1, a bus had been located and purchased in the Bay Area. By Nov. 7, the Vagabus was rolling through the redwoods. The original plan was to travel to Canada to pick up some solar panels, then turn around and begin the trip south, spending three to four days in each town and wintering on organic farms in central Mexico. Instead, thanks to the lure of free pizza, the crew spent two months on the foggy Oregon coast.

“Someone gave us a gift card for Domino’s. We looked it up and the closest city north of here with a Domino’s was Coos Bay, Oregon,” Boutwell says. “When we got there, our clutch went out.”

Because of the age of the bus, it took several months and more than $1,000 in parts to repair. (The bus currently has 268,000 miles on it.) A pilot car went to Canada and picked up the solar panels.

Meanwhile, the Vagabussers coordinated a beach cleanup and Boutwell continued

to pound the digital pavement asking for donations, both from potential riders and do-gooders. On the group’s Reddit page, Boutwell requests a buy-in of $1,000 per vagabond to cover gas and personal expenses. Boutwell and Isaacson also collaborated on several crowdfunding sites.

“A lot of us are currently homeless!” reads the group’s Indiegogo pitch. “So if you hate homeless people and don’t want us in your city, you should fund us, because then we’ll be in a different country.”

By mid-January the bus was rolling again, coming to a stop in Arcata on Jan. 22 for more volunteer work and repairs to a broken driveshaft. In the meantime, Boutwell has been a PR force of nature, calling local media outlets and coordinating with Eureka nonprofit The Ink People to get the Vagabus listed as a Dreammaker project, which grants it non-profit status. The organizations with which the vagabussers have volunteered — the Salvation Army, Friends of the Marsh, Food for People — say their work has been diligent and very welcome.

“It was a wonderful, mutual thing,” Kim Class, executive director of the Companion Animal Foundation, says of the group’s Continued on page 8 »

work cleaning up her nonprofit’s backyard and kennels.

Class returned the crew’s work by feeding them, letting them shower at her home and spaying one of the group’s “road dogs.” It’s this kind of reciprocity on which Boutwell says they are dependent to keep going.

“Last week someone saw what we were doing and handed us a $100 bill,” he says.

“Of course, it doesn’t go far, because our bus only gets 5 miles to a gallon.”

While the movement may not be growing fiscally, its size has doubled. Since arriving in Humboldt, four people in a bus have grown to a caravan with 11 people, five dogs, two buses, a minivan and an SUV. One bus was donated by a local business owner on the condition that the group stop camping in front of his office.

“It sounds like a kinder, gentler version of Mad Max,” Tim Crosby says of the caravan. Crosby is operations manager at Food for People, where the group volunteered a month ago. “They’re really nice guys. I’m surprised that they’re still in Humboldt; they must have a lot to do. I hope they make it to Tierra Del Fuego.”

“We’re growing faster than we need to,” admits Boutwell, who says anyone is welcome to join, “All I ask is that you’re not a thief, you don’t use hard drugs and you’re willing to get your hands dirty.”

Among the more recent additions to the bus are a college junior who dropped

out of Mississippi State University when he read about the bus on Reddit, a young couple that was living behind the Bayshore Mall, and a rogue zine publisher who only gave his road name, “Tumble.”

“I’ve lived on the streets since I was 8 years old,” says Tumble, who began his life as a ward of the state. “This is different for me, being inside a bus. I’m taking it slow.”

William Yuhlein, the young Mississippi State dropout, said that like other members who bring their unique talents such as carpentry and cooking to the bus, Tumble’s talent for playing the djembe has enhanced the group. They spent a recent rainy morning aboard the bus playing music.

While they definitely plan to leave soon (“We’ve been saying three to four days for weeks, now,” says Boutwell), the group is currently searching for someone who can repair the brake lights and turn signals on the schoolbus. Their malfunction almost caused an accident recently, and they’d like them fixed before they leave town.

“We’re just headed south to the next dot on the map, and that’s Fortuna,” he says, adding that plans to go to Argentina may be slightly delayed due to a ferry strike in Panama’s Darien Gap. “We definitely need help with necessities, like fuel and tortillas. We go through about 80 tortillas in four days,” he says.

“But I have no doubt that we’ll make it.” l

I Carry it in my Shoe

By Marcy Burstiner

thesetlist@northcoastjournal.com

I

f you include my college newspaper, I’ve worked for eight different news organizations as a reporter or editor.

Never once did I flash a press pass.

I’m pretty sure I never had one, even in the six months I covered the cop beat.

The closest I came was a press sticker I had for my car so I could park at the Bob Hope Golf Classic in Palm Springs, where my paper sent me to file feature stories. It got me free parking into all kinds of events until the Honda died years later.

I never needed a press badge. I bring this up because some local folks want to know if a press badge would stop police from hassling them when they try to photograph or videotape altercations that involve cops.

The answer is no. My students on The Lumberjack newspaper make press badges for themselves each term. I don’t discourage them, although I know the badges carry no weight. The strength of the badge is only in the courage it gives whoever’s wearing it.

My favorite scene in a movie is from the original Walking Tall with Joe Don Baker as Sheriff Buford Pusser. He walks into a bar and a woman says, “Sheriff, you got a warrant?” He answers, “I carry it in my shoe.”

Then he kicks down the door.

I don’t need a press badge. I carry the First Amendment in my shoe.

The reason we call the press the Fourth Estate is that our Founding Fathers expected it to act as the fourth check on government power. If the executive, legisla-

tive and judicial branches fail to check each other’s power, the independent press is there to make sure everyone knows.

I’m not sure that corporate-owned press really counts as an independent press, but that’s where citizen journalists come in.

The U.S. Supreme Court has acknowledged, sort of, the right of people to use their cameras to document the police interactions that take place in public. It did so in 2012 by refusing to review a case that came up out of a federal appeals court in Chicago. That appeals court had ruled against an anti-eavesdropping law that would have made it a felony to videotape a police officer in public with a microphone turned on. The court said the law restricted “an expressive medium used for the preservation and dissemination of information and ideas.”

You can understand why some police officers get testy when you pull out a camera in public. I get nervous when people videotape me, and I can’t imagine I’d be caught doing anything viral-worthy.

The reason officers wear a uniform and shiny badge is to get attention. And they wield guns and batons to command attention. Right now, the actions of some police in some communities have gotten the attention of the whole country. We also live in a world in which everyone has a camera with a mic. So now if someone asks me: “Marcy, you got a camera?” I tell them I carry it in my phone.

Here is the bottom line. You can photo-

graph or videotape in public. And you have the absolute right to witness police interactions with the public and document those interactions with a camera, mic turned on. The police have no right to seize your phone or camera or take your digital media cards. To get the photographs or video you take, police will need a search warrant signed by a judge.

Two different things have been happening that I’m aware of. Some people have taken out phones to videotape situations in which someone is resisting arrest. That’s what happened in the PalCo Marsh recently as police tried to clear out a homeless encampment.

But what’s also starting to happen is that more than a few journalists, student journalists and citizen journalists have taken to listening to police scanners and showing up when it sounds like something is happening. So our local police find themselves responding to a car accident, or a fight, or someone wielding a gun and find themselves surrounded by half a dozen camera-wielding nosy nellies.

Because some of these nellies are my students, the police have complained to me, or my colleagues. We turn around and high-five the students. We teach journalism and mass communication. That’s the study of how to witness events and massively communicate what you see, hear and smell. They are doing exactly what they are supposed to — hustling to cover news. A complaint that a student of mine is hustling for a story with a little too much passion will likely get the kid a higher grade.

In big cities, any interactions with police draw a big crowd. But crowds of people don’t faze big city cops. In the city, you won’t have half a dozen people with a camera; you will have dozens of people with cameras.

We have a backwards problem here in this backwoods place.

If people had had camera phones over the last 50 years, police would probably be more careful about how they interact with people; Your average Joes pulling out camera phones, even here, wouldn’t cause any problems.

But know this, you citizen journalists.

You can’t just photograph and videotape private citizens minding their own business in public and post those images to the Internet. If they have a reasonable expectation of privacy, even in public, you could be slapped with a lawsuit after the fact for invasion of privacy. And if you slap some funny text on top of someone’s image in Photoshop, and send it bouncing around the Internet as a meme, you could be sued for misappropriation of the person’s identity. And if too many people do this too often, the courts might get testy toward citizen journalists. Last month, a former cop turned South Carolina state representative proposed a law that would require journalists there to register. Most First Amendment experts said the law would have no chance of passing, or withstanding a legal challenge. But that was before Donald Trump won the South Carolina presidential primary.

Would you feel so sure about your rights as a citizen journalist to photograph in public with a U.S. Supreme Court filled with justices appointed by President Trump? l Marcy Burstiner is chair of the Department of Journalism and Mass Communication. As she is slow to get out of her chair, and hates leaving her house, she appreciates those in the press who jump to cover what needs to be covered.

Week in Weed

Roughing the (Joint) Passer

By Grant Scott-Goforth grant@northcoastjournal.com

T

wo football players lost their positions on their team rosters after being busted with weed.

University of Kentucky linebacker Jason Hatcher had a pound of weed on him when he was pulled over for speeding on Feb. 22, cops say. The college later announced his dismissal from the roster for breaking team rules. According to the Courier-Journal, Hatcher had been cited for marijuana possession before, but had taken a class to dismiss the charge.

A few days before that, Indianapolis Colts linebacker Jonathan Newsome was arrested on suspicion of possessing marijuana after cops responded to a noise complaint at his apartment. He was released by the team less than a week later.

In the sober light of post-Super Bowl 2016, maybe it’s time to re-assess weed policies in sports. I’ve already pointed out in this column how ridiculous it is for teams — professional and collegiate — to bring the hammer down on talented young people for possession arrests. It’s a practice, on its face, that disproportionately affects minority players. (Colts CEO and owner Jim Irsay, for example, was suspended for six games and fined $500,000 after he pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of opiates in 2014.

Hardly a career-ending punishment for the billionaire.) Neither Newsome nor Hatcher had been convicted of a crime. It’s unclear if either had even been charged with a crime. Meanwhile, player violence is overlooked, college players go unpaid, and misplaced hero worship perpetuates racist and misogynist tenets of our society. l

Meanwhile, a local hot dog kingpin was recently sentenced to two years in federal prison for running an interstate marijuana enterprise. Jonathan Quaccia, who sold franks from his Humboldt Hot Dogs cart on the Arcata plaza (for which he was the subject of a Journal story in 2011), pleaded guilty to charges that he’d laundered more than $2 million he’d earned growing weed on the North Coast and selling it in New York and Georgia. According to a sentenc-

ing memorandum, Quaccia sold 785 to 1,000 pounds of weed to the East Coast From 2012 through 2014.

As first reported by the Lost Coast Outpost, Quaccia also forfeited $100,000 and a 2013 Honda Accord in the plea deal. l The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is practically going prog, if you look at its successful, humanitarian pursuit of dignity and decency that’s housed thousands of homeless people in Utah (see this week’s cover story). Not content to rest there, the church recently softened its stance on a Utah Senate bill that would allow medical marijuana in the state. To be clear, the church still opposes the bill, given its belief that “drug abuse in the United States is at epidemic proportions, especially among youth.”

But, in its statement on the proposed law, the church said, “In our view, the issue for the Utah Legislature is how to enable the use of marijuana extracts to help people who are suffering. … We continue to urge legislators to take into account the acknowledged need for scientific research in this matter and to fully address regulatory controls on manufacture and distribution for the health and safety of all Utahns.” l Finally, Humboldt County’s Commercial Medical Marijuana Land Use Ordinance goes into effect on Friday, Feb. 26, which means cultivators the county wide can apply for local business permits for their operations. In a press release, Humboldt County Board of Supervisors Chair Mark Lovelace was quick to point out that the county was the first to enact a regulatory system since state medical marijuana regulations went into effect last September.

In addition to cultivation, business owners can apply for permits to manufacture and distribute medical marijuana products.

HSU Honors Humble Heroines

S

usie Van Kirk would probably not have approved of Humboldt State University’s plan to immortalize her. The decades-long activist for homeless and environmental rights was not a fan of the spotlight, according to all who knew her, going as far as to ask her son not to hold a memorial service or write an obituary after she had passed. That didn’t stop many from mourning her Dec. 30 death, which came a day before her friend and collaborator in activism, Lucille Vinyard, also died. Now the university is taking steps to honor both women by gathering their papers into a special research collection.

Among the papers may be letters like the one Van Kirk’s friend and fellow homeless advocate, Becky Price-Hall, often thought of sending her.

“She was so humble,” Price-Hall says. “She was very pessimistic about what could be done, but she really made more difference than anyone else. Sometimes I just felt like writing her a letter and telling her why she shouldn’t be discouraged.”

Van Kirk helped establish what would become the Arcata House Partnership and was, according to Price-Hall, “single-minded about getting people someplace to sleep that was dry.” But when the Arcata Night Shelter bought a new building and wanted to name it for her, she strongly refused. Today it bears only her initials: The SVK House.

Vinyard had no less of a legacy. Often referred to as the “Mother of Redwood National Park,” she formed the region’s first

Sierra Club in 1964, and advocated for the inclusion of the North Coast in the national park system. Despite considerable blowback from the timber industry, her efforts and the efforts of other activists were ultimately successful. She went on to receive a Woman of the Year award from state Assemblymember Patty Berg in 2003, among other accolades.

Dan Sealy, vice-president of the board of the North Coast Environmental Center, recalls Vinyard as a “really, really brave person.”

Both women inspired many in their community. Margaret Gainer, who called Van Kirk her mentor, recalls drawing on their experience negotiating with CalTrans to modify bypass plans through what is now Newton B. Drury Parkway to avoid removing old growth trees.

“A couple years ago, when CalTrans was planning for the Highway 101 Corridor between Arcata and Eureka, I asked Susie to tell me what they did to be so successful in getting CalTrans to modify their original plans to address what the community wanted,” Gainer says. “I’ll never forget her response: ‘Lucille and I just made it clear to them that we were not going away and that we would not take ‘no’ for an answer.’”

The Van Kirk & Vinyard Research Collection Enduring Memorial & Learning Opportunity is projected for completion in spring of 2017. HSU is currently soliciting donations in order to aid this project.

Homing the Houseless Housing First is spreading across the nation, but can it work in Humboldt?

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

A

t 52, Brad Saxenhaus had been chronically homeless his entire adult life. A mentally ill drug addict and alcoholic, he’d been in and out of programs, treatment and transitional housing, but always wound up back on the streets, sleeping on the cold ground. “I always said, ‘I gotta fix this, I gotta fix this.’ I never did,” Saxenhaus recalls. “Emotionally and mentally, I was a rotten person.”

Then something unexpected happened: A nonprofit called Arcata House gave him the keys to his own apartment, furnished it and helped him move in. “I got into an apartment, but that doesn’t make you stable,” he recalls. “I would cry. I felt weird living in a house, I really did. It wasn’t easy.

I had a bed to sleep in, but I still slept on the floor a lot. I don’t know why. I was lonely. Out there, I never had a problem with that — there were always people around — but in the apartment, I was lonely.”

Most days, Saxenhaus says, he would

wake up at his small apartment on Alliance Road in Arcata and catch the first bus heading south. He would arrive at St. Vincent de Paul’s free meal facility on Eureka’s Third Street before local philanthropist Betty Chinn showed up to dole out morning coffee and doughnuts. He’d sip his coffee sitting on a nearby stoop and just watch the day go by. Then, as the sun set and the air grew cold, he’d catch the bus home.

After a time, the case managers at Arcata House began to prod. “They said, ‘You have to go to medical appointments. We’ll take you, but you have to go,’” Saxenhaus says, smiling. That was a decade ago. Saxenhaus concedes it took him three or so years to feel normal living off the streets, but he says the folks from Arcata House were always there. They took him to substance abuse classes and doctor appointments, to the grocery store and counseling sessions. When unruly neighbors left him feeling like the walls were closing in and old habits came knocking, Arcata House

found him a new place. When he grew despondent, an Arcata House case manager showed up at his door to check in.

“These people are like angels — a bunch of little angels running around and always there to help you,” says Saxenhaus, now 62, sitting in his clean, second-story apartment overlooking downtown Arcata.

Many locals are hoping to hear a lot more stories like this in the coming years, as Eureka and the county of Humboldt begin to formally embrace the philosophy of Housing First. The road forward is uncertain and will be fraught with challenges and hurdles, but Saxenhaus’ story — and thousands like it around the country — offer hope.

Decades before it began

sweeping the nation or even gained a foothold in Arcata, Housing First emerged in New York City, the brainchild of a frustrated psychologist. Born in Greece and raised in Montreal, Sam Tsemberis was

treating homeless patients at an inpatient mental health clinic in New York City’s Bellevue Hospital. He’d see people treated and stabilized, only to run into them on the streets days later. “It was quite disturbing,” he said in a recent phone interview with the Journal.

By the mid/late ’80s, Tsemberis switched to outreach, with the goal of getting and keeping people off the streets.

This meant getting them “housing ready” — mentally stable and sober — and then finding them a place to live. It was difficult to find success. He’d work to get someone into an alcohol treatment program, only to later find them drunk and back on the same streets. He’d get people mental health treatment and find them homeless and in crisis a month later. “That system was clearly not working,” he says, explaining that it’s extremely hard for someone who’s homeless to manage their mental health, stay sober or become “housing Continued on next page »

you go to most treatment providers, they’ll talk to you for a few moments and then they’ll tell you what you need to do, ‘Take two of these,’” he says. “This is not that. This is not a medical model. This is collaboration. From a relationship dynamic, it engages the person in a very active way to be participating in the plan. They own the plan. It’s not like you’re imposing a plan on them, they are co-authoring the plan with you.”

This resonates with Saxenhaus. “You can bring a bunch of people in off the street, but you really need to change the life of a person,” he says. For him, he says this meant constant encouragement and help getting to appointments. He was already sobering up by the time he entered Arcata House’s Apartments First, but he needed ongoing counseling, support, and personalized care. When he underwent overnight sleep apnea treatments, someone from Arcata House was there every day to pick him up at 6 a.m. Without much of a support system — estranged from his family and away from his friends on the streets — Saxenhaus says he came to cherish and depend on his care providers. “They’re there,” he says. “You call them and they call you back. Always.”

While continuing to work with its initial clients, Tsemberis’ group, Pathways to Housing, looked to expand and replicate its success in the mid- to-late 1990s. The program expanded into each of New York’s five boroughs, and the success rates held. With the help of a National Institute of Health grant, they held a randomized,

controlled trial in Washington D.C. that got published. People began to take notice, though many remained skeptical.

“The truth is, we thought the earth was flat,” Richard Bebout, a prominent Washington D.C. scholar of homelessness told the Washington Post. “But here (Tsemberis) was saying the earth is round, and we said, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me.”

Skepticism about Housing First seems to be rapidly diminishing. In most cases, the numbers speak for themselves: New Orleans reports having ended chronic homelessness among military veterans, while rates of chronic homelessness among veterans nationally has dropped 36 percent in three years under a Housing First approach; Small towns around Brattleboro, Vermont reported a 55-percent reduction in chronic homelessness in just two years; Buffalo, New York, one of the nation’s poorest cities, has reduced chronic homelessness by 95 percent in four years; and, in the most jaw-dropping case, the state of Utah has reduced its chronic homeless population by 91 percent in 10 years, from nearly 2,000 people in 2005 to fewer than 200 at the end of 2015.

Just as notable in many circles are the financial impacts. A pilot study by Denver’s Colorado Coalition for the Homeless followed 200 chronically homeless people in a Housing First program and found the cost of providing them with emergency services — detox services, incarcerations, emergency psychiatric hospitalizations, inpatient medical care and emergency

room visits — dropped 73 percent over two years, saving an average of $31,545 per participant. The study also found that 77 percent of those who entered the program remained housed after the two-year study period.

A similar study of 95 Housing First clients in Seattle reported a cost savings of 53 percent — nearly $2,500 per month, per person. Another study by the Massachusetts statewide Housing First program found it saved an estimated $9,500 per client, per year when comparing Medicaid, shelter and incarceration costs before and after Housing First.

Former U.S. Department

of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan estimated that the average unsheltered homeless person on the streets costs taxpayers about $40,000 a year once all the costs, from shelters and food programs to emergency room and jail visits, are factored in. According to the latest Point-in-Time Count, Humboldt County has about 840 homeless people living unsheltered within its borders. That pencils out to about $33 million annually.

Late last month, the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors and the city of Eureka convened a joint meeting — the first in recent memory — to receive a report from Focus Strategies, a consultant the two governments paid $80,000 to chart a plan to address the county’s homeless problem. And, for anyone who doesn’t get out much, it is a problem, especially in Eureka.

Nationwide, the average community reports that about 1 percent of its population is homeless. That number holds true in Humboldt County, which has about 135,000 residents and a homeless population of about 1,320, according to data from the PIT count and the U.S. Census.

But Eureka — the county seat where the vast majority of social services are located — obliterates those numbers with one of the highest homeless rates in the country, about 2.7 percent of its population.

But those numbers don’t convey the depth of Humboldt’s homeless issues.

Nationwide, 70 percent of the homeless population is classified as “sheltered,” spending nights under a roof, whether in a shelter, a friend’s house or a motel.

In both Humboldt County and Eureka, those numbers are essentially flipped, with 64 percent of the homeless population unsheltered. Perhaps more ominous is that while just 15 percent of the national homeless population is classified as “chronic,” 69 percent of Humboldt’s homeless people Continued on next page »

Eureka City Councilmember Marian Brady, Mayor Frank Jager and Board of Supervisors Chair Mark Lovelace (from left) listen to a presentation on Focus Strategies’ plan to address homelessness during a joint meeting last month. Submitted photo of their income toward rent. The balance — as well as things like deposits, first and last months’ rent — is paid through rent assistance, sometimes using a designated funding stream like the Mental Health Services Act and other times through another source, like a grant, a local government or a housing trust fund.

But however you fund Housing First, Tsemberis says it absolutely has to be sustainable. You can’t take someone in only to turn them out when the money runs out, and you can’t take someone in and then fail to fund or deliver the services they need.

“You can’t find people who have all these needs and put them into housing without the wraparound services to care for them. It’s a recipe for disaster,” Tsemberis says. “Someone has to figure out how to get the money.”

Housing First’s single greatest success story, the state of Utah, is perfect alignment of factors. Utah’s a prosperous state with some of the lowest poverty and unemployment rates in the country.

Its state government regularly finishes the year with a budget surplus. Both the governor and the mayor of the state’s largest city were outspoken supporters of Housing First, as was the state’s largest non-government organization — the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints — which is also an unrivaled fundraising and volunteer-organizing powerhouse.

“They committed to doing Housing First big time,” says Tsemberis. “If we had failed [in Utah], there was really no hope.”

Utah had money to throw at Housing

First — state funds to capture matching grants, private sector money to invest and charitable donations to contribute — that allowed it to quickly build hundreds of new housing units with a virtual army of volunteers waiting to furnish them and stock their pantries. But Tsemberis and others intimately involved in the effort say just as important was that the state unified behind the philosophy. This makes sense, given the Mormon Church’s belief in charitable work. After all, the church has its own welfare department to take care of members down on their luck.

At a recent speaking engagement in Redding, Lloyd Pendelton, who left his post as the executive manager of the LDS Church Welfare Department to head the state’s homeless task force and oversee the implementation of Housing First, said the key to a successful rollout is having a community champion, someone who can bring diverse stakeholders behind a common goal. That and getting to work.

He urged people not to wait for an implementation plan and to see things through a positive light. “It shouldn’t be, ‘We want to end homelessness.’” he told about 500 people gathered in a middle school auditorium. “It should be, ‘We want to put people in housing.’”

To some extent, that’s the approach Focus Strategies is taking in Humboldt, too, urging the Eureka City Council and the supes to pledge to house 30 people in 60 days. (Neither has made the commitment yet.)

Humboldt’s Homeless at a Glance

Homing the Houseless Continued from previous page

stock in Humboldt County to immediately make a significant dent in the unsheltered homeless population. Specifically, the consultant estimates there are 259 available units in the county, enough to house the current unsheltered population in a single year if clients were to share rooms, though the consultant concedes that this approach might be difficult “given the complexity of the mental health and substance use issues in the unsheltered population.” A three-year approach, Focus Strategies claims, could get everyone housed without doubling up in rooms.

The report, however, doesn’t include any survey of landlords to see how many of the properties fall into the low-income category, or how many property owners would be willing to offer up units to the formerly homeless who may be mentally ill and addicted.

And though it outlines a number of options, the Focus Strategies report doesn’t recommend a specific funding stream to implement Housing First in Humboldt. Judging from public comment at recent council meetings, the popular sentiment in Eureka seems to be that the

county — and specifically its Department of Health and Human Services — has the resources to put this plan into motion.

That’s not exactly the case. The county budget has a multimillion dollar structural deficit that is projected to balloon in coming years. Even today, only the influx of Measure Z funds has stabilized the county’s spending plan. The temporary tax measure is slated to expire in a few years. As far as DHHS goes, the department has a large budget but it’s almost entirely tied to funding streams and services. While it can direct services toward eligible Housing First clients, there’s no indication it has millions of dollars squirreled away somewhere to throw at the cause.

Meanwhile, Eureka has some funding from its former redevelopment agency — $250,000 — that it’s already voted to repurpose toward the plan. And while the city, like the county, is in a financial pinch — it carved some $4 million from this year’s budget to make ends meet — tough choices may be necessary. After all, the city is combining to spend more than $1.5 million this year on the zoo, the chamber

There are also some funding options that could leave the city and county general funds intact. Last year, the grand jury recommended the formation of a housing trust fund, which has been successful in other areas. Essentially, these create an independently managed pool of money with an identified funding stream, like developer fees or a new tax, to be used for local housing aid and projects.

In short, Focus Strategies’ plan leaves some large questions about how a Housing First strategy can be funded

“In Arcata, we end homelessness by building housing,” Fox Olson, then the executive director of Arcata House Partnership, told the crowd. “I want the rest of the county to take note.”

While the statement seemed to ignore the fact that the facility was built in cooperation with DHHS, or that the agency brought almost $2 million in one-time Mental Health Services Act funds to the table to make it possible, Olson’s point was clear: Arcata’s been successfully using a scaled Housing First model for some time.

Six months after that day, on a cold and rainy February afternoon, Jerry — who requested his real name not be used in exchange for his full candor — sat in the small smoking area of Arcata Bay Crossing’s courtyard. The place still looked brand new and immaculately kept.

He’s obviously nervous and having trouble finding the words. He repeats several times that he had lived in his van for a year and a half, but asked where or why, he struggles and repeats himself, taking long pauses. Finally, talking about his tie-dye shirt, he smiles and the words come a bit easier. Jerry explains that he’s an alcoholic, that he spent 18 months living out of his van in Eureka and then another year and a half staying in a dingy Eureka motel before moving into Arcata Bay Crossing. “You know, it was really bad,” he says. “And then I came here.”

Jerry describes himself as “higher functioning” than some of the other people there. He says he has a couple of neighbors he’s friendly with, but says he mostly keeps to himself. He still drinks, he says, but not as much as he used to. He’s feeling healthier, he says, and definitely safer. He passes his days reading mystery novels and listening to KGOE, a talk radio station, even though he doesn’t have much interest in politics. He says he’s working with his case manager to get a dog to keep him company, but says life at Arcata Bay Crossing is good. “I’m so thrilled,” he says. “I just can’t tell you how happy I am.”

Officials say all the residents who moved into Arcata Bay Crossing’s 30 units remain housed six months later, save for one woman who was sent to prison for an offense committed prior to her September move-in. “These are the neediest of the needy, and they’re all still housed, which is really big,” explained Darlene Spoor, who recently took over from Olson as executive Director of Arcata House (the nonprofit has an event scheduled to officially welcome Spoor the afternoon of March 15). “If somebody is chronically

homeless and they’re still housed after six months, that’s really big.”

Spoor explains that Arcata House relies on a hodgepodge of grants and private donations to operate its transitional housing program, which includes five houses throughout the city that accommodate up to six people apiece, and Apartments First, which features 19 units sprinkled around town. She said there are three keys to the nonprofit’s success with Housing First: a supportive community, willing landlords and intensive case management.

“Our landlords — without their support, we couldn’t do what we do,” Spoor says, explaining that Arcata House signs leases for its tenants, who then sublet from the nonprofit. This means Arcata House is the one that pays the rent and is liable for any damages, which puts landlords at ease, Spoor says. And, when a landlord calls with a problem, Arcata House always responds immediately, she says.

The importance of proactive case management also cannot be understated, Spoor says. “The plans are individualized, but the case management is intensive,” she says. “Our staff is on call 24/7, and we’re there and we mediate and negotiate and train.”

As Arcata and Utah can attest — albeit on very different scales — Housing First is truly a community endeavor. As Tsemberis sees it, it’s the delivery of a basic human right — housing — to our most vulnerable residents. But the numbers show it’s also sound fiscal policy.

Several decades ago on the streets of New York, Tsemberis said he learned the key to addressing homelessness is personalization — treating each client as an individual and finding the right path to get them housed, one person at a time.

“It’s a movement,” he says, “and every movement has a leader, but you also need to have a tremendous amount of support from the troops and the entire community. You have to get everyone involved.”

The stakes are high. Sitting in an easy chair in his apartment, Saxenhaus explains that, born in New York, he grew up in Florida and became suicidal as a teenager. He left home, started wandering and self-medicating with drugs and alcohol. Chance brought him to Humboldt. He pauses for a moment, eyes Heavenly, his large, longhaired cat, and says he’d likely be dead or dying if it weren’t for the keys Arcata House gave him almost a decade ago.

“This program changed me,” he says, adding that he’s now independent, standing firmly on his own feet with little support from Arcata House. “I give it all to God and Arcata House. God first, and Arcata House second.” l

Good Golly, Khinkali Juicy Georgian dumplings

By Jada Calypso Brotman tabletalk@northcoastjournal.com

T

his winter has been a proper winter for the first time since I moved back from the East Coast in 2010. The drought-stricken pastures have been soaking up the water and the cow wallows are thick with mud. The hills have returned to their proper verdancy. It’s been cold enough that I don’t have apologize for keeping the heat at 80 degrees, and the rain-whipped streets look properly gray and shimmering.

Time for dumplings. Perfect for wintry weather, they’re globally ubiquitous, because who doesn’t like hot little meat buns? Or veggie bags? Or cheese parcels?

Dumplings provide a vast culinary canvas; people can make dough out of most grains and cram pretty much any foodstuff inside. One thing I miss about living in New York, actually maybe the biggest thing, are my favorite dumpling-esque foods — papusas and soup dumplings.

The former are El Salvadorian masa harina circles stuffed with meat or cheese and beans, served with pickles and hot sauces.

The latter, called xiao long bao, are China’s greatest contribution to the world as far as I’m concerned. Forget movable type and paper, it’s dumplings filled with meat and soup. Definitely forget gunpowder.

I have ranted about my obsession with Georgian cuisine (country, not state) several times and I’m happy to report I actually

22 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Feb. 25, 2016 • northcoastjournal.com

have some second-hand commentary via my parents, who went to Georgia and had a blast. Along with stories of thuggish, hairy men with both hearts and chains of gold, they returned with tales of delicious cuisine, including, of course, Georgian dumplings. Called khinkali, these precious packets of juicy heaven are made with a distinctive dough knob on top, and it is customary to show your prodigious appetite by lining up the uneaten knobs at the edge of your plate. My father says 40 or more is not uncommon. Apparently they’re insanely popular, with lots of purveyors selling out early.

The process seems daunting but, trust me, they’re easy. If they look blobby, call them rustic. The only point of concern is really squishing the dough to ensure a proper seal, and half the yum is in the meat juices that seep out and fill your dough sack with rich broth. For this reason, you don’t want ground beef or pork that is too lean. An 80-percent lean mix should work. It only takes a few tries to get the knack of umbrella-folding the dough and pinching it shut. Make sure your hands are dry — moisture makes the seal slip. It’s a Georgian point of pride to get as many pleats as possible, so you can have fun with that. You can make a small batch — I made half the recipe, which yielded 14 dumplings, good for two or

three people for dinner, and the whole thing took about 45 minutes. Georgians don’t use a dipping sauce, as there’s plenty of juice in the dumpling, but I bet a sort of vinegar-based sauce would be a nice foil to the richness of the meat. You’re meant to pick them up using the dough knob as a handle, eat the meaty part in a few bites and toss the knob to the dogs. Or if you have a competitive streak, line ‘em up along the plate and spell out your name in knobs.

Khinkali Makes 28 dumplings, serves 4.

Ingredients and method: 4 cups flour (plus more for flouring board) 2 ½ teaspoons salt, divided 1 ¾ cups warm water, divided ½ pound ground pork ½ pound ground beef ½ teaspoon black pepper 2 tablespoons cilantro ¼ teaspoon ground caraway 1 pinch cayenne pepper 3 onions, small, peeled and coarsely chopped

For the dough Mix the flour, 1¼ teaspoons salt and 1¼ cups warm water in a bowl. Knead for 5 minutes. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.

For the filling Combine the meat, 1¼ teaspoon salt, pepper, caraway, cayenne and ½ cups warm water in a bowl. Finely chop the onions and cilantro in a food processor and add it to the other ingredients. Using your hands, knead the mixture thoroughly.

Roll the dough into a log and cut into 28 pieces. On a floured board, flatten a piece with the base of a glass and roll with a pin into a roughly 6-inch round.

Place about 1½ tablespoons of filling in the center. Make overlapping umbrella pleats all the way around the filling in a clockwise direction. Holding the dumpling firmly in one hand, pinch the tip of the dough to twist the pleats firmly and squeeze the top ½ inch to make a seal and create a knob.

Cook the dumplings in salted boiling water for 12 to 15 minutes. Drain them well.

Finish them with freshly ground black pepper and serve with shots of vodka. ●

Setlist

Mark Lovelace Jamming with your public servants

By Andy Powell

thesetlist@northcoastjournal.com

H

umboldt County 3rd District Supervisor Mark Lovelace is serving his final year in office as the chair of the board. But the San Jose native and former punk rock club busboy won’t stop playing music anytime soon. He grew up listening to big band jazz music and the crooning of Bing Crosby with his parents. Later, one of his hip sisters laid the seeds that would turn him on to music coming out of ’60s and ’70s San Francisco, such as Jefferson Airplane, The Grateful Dead, Joe Cocker and Janis Joplin.

Lovelace picked up the acoustic guitar in seventh grade, and saw his first concert in 1979 at the San Jose Performing Arts Theater, which was hosting “performing artists” Van Halen. He remained a fan of hard rock like Led Zeppelin, but enjoyed The Beatles (who doesn’t?) and West Coasters Neil Young and Crosby, Stills & Nash. No slouch, Lovelace saw The Who, AC/DC, The Rolling Stones, The J Geils Band, Styx, Santana and The Dead in concert. The first album Lovelace bought was ... well, you’ll have to ask him, as he still seems a bit embarrassed; but the second and third albums were Draw the Line by Aerosmith and Steely Dan’s Aja. Asked if he could play with any band, Lovelace quickly responded (to this writer’s surprise) with The Ramones (“because I could”). Lovelace still drives a car with a six-CD changer in it, which currently contains Jeff Beck’s Blow by Blow, one of the discs of The Beatles, Brett Dennen, Billie Holiday and The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Speaking of electric guitar, Lovelace went electric in the last few years (Judas!) and you may have seen him playing at occasional benefits in his district. An insight into music that lasts, Lovelace says, is that it be “played” and not “performed.” The shows that stick in our heads are when a band includes joy, freedom or, perhaps, spontaneous creativity. A performance, in the strictest sense, could be seen as merely a type of artistic regurgitation. A man

wiser than this writer once said, “If music be the food of love, play on.”

ed Bob Dylan and Talking Heads. $12 if you can get your hands on a ticket, 8 p.m..

Thursday

Saturday

Returning to Humboldt County, The Brothers Comatose bring some of their high-energy old-time music to Humbrews.

The guitar/banjo/fiddle/mandolin outfit is releasing a new album, City Painted Gold, on March 4, so you can hear some new songs before they are released. The brothers Morrison (Ben & Alex) front the band, and a music video for their new song “Brothers,” gives the impression that these two probably pounded on each other a bit. Set in an old-timey boxing ring — surrounded by dapper, mustachioed chaps — the brothers get to go after each other, but it becomes clear that what keeps them together is music. “Like most brothers, Alex and I fought a lot when we were kids,” says Ben. But in high school the two “picked up instruments and started smoking weed,” so everything worked out, and now they’ve got a successful band. I wonder why they keep coming back to Humboldt... The Easy Leaves open the show at 9:30 p.m. and $15 will get you in.

Friday

Supertramp super-fan Chuck Mayville is back at Gallagher’s Irish Pub and he’ll be serving your ears starting at 6 p.m. for free.

Also doing the free thing is Wild Otis which you’ll find at the same time in Arcata at the Redwood Curtain Brewery.

Should you choose to travel to the Arcata Playhouse, you’ll witness Jeff DeMark and the Gila Monsters present “stories and songs” related to travel with a bunch of Blue Lakers including Michael Crowley, Paul DeMark, Diana Heberger, Lizzy Moonbeam, Marvin Samuels and sit-down comic Charlie Gilbert with the above-mentioned monsters. Expect some original songs by Jeff along with those by the equally talent-

Jeff DeMark’s travel show sold out last night, you say? Well, it’s a good thing you have another chance to see the show tonight. Read above for the details so I don’t go over my word count.

Fulkerson Recital Hall up at HSU hosts the HSU Symphonic Band, which will be performing a new work, The Poseidon Overture, written especially for them by L.A. emigre and now-North Coaster Michael Kibbe. This world premier will start around 8 p.m. for $8. The Jazz Orchestra rounds out the bill, performing originals by HSU student composers.

Local funk masters Motherlode will be enticing you to move at The Jam in Arcata at 9 p.m., for only $8.

Or find “top shelf” Dead covers by The Miracle Show at The Blue Lake Casino and Hotel. I heard the Wave Lounge was packed last time the band performed. Free show at 9 p.m.

Humboldt Free Radio presents a benefit for the North Star Quest Girls Camp at the Alibi with local big boys Side Iron.

Helping them raise funds are local “angsty indie rockers” Chachi Hands. Alibi shows start around 11 p.m. and they’re asking for $5-$10 to benefit the camp.

Sunday A master of anything with strings will be in the Cream City at one of Humboldt County’s newest venues. Musician par excellence, David Lindley plays The Old Steeple in Ferndale at 7:30 p.m. When he’s not playing with Jackson Browne, Bob Dylan, David Crosby, Graham Nash, James Taylor, Rod Stewart or Joe Walsh, David apparently likes to return to Humboldt.

No word as of press time on ticket price, but it’ll be worth it.

But wait! There is another group of musicians in Humboldt that has also played with Jackson Browne and Bob Dylan. The Chieftains — who have also jammed with Van Morrison, Roger Daltrey and the Rolling Stones, to name a few — will be at HSU’s Van Duzer Theater at 8 p.m. performing classic and traditional Irish music. HSU students can see this show for an incredibly low price of $10. The rest of us? $66.

Tuesday

Local Roland Rock will bring surfabilly rock to the Mad River Brewery. Enjoy a pint (or more), the music’s free at 6 p.m.

At The Depot on the HSU campus, you can catch former Californian John D. of The Mountain Goats at 8:30 p.m.

Now from one of the Carolinas, The Mountain Goats will be joined by fellow non-Golden Stater William Tyler from Tennessee. “Equal parts Appalachian drone and ambient noise, his set will be homage to ancient melodies, dead languages, and ghosts.” Got it. $25, or $20 for you Lumberjacks. l Full show listings in the Journal’s Music and More grid, the Calendar and online.

Bands and promoters, send your gig info, preferably with a high-res photo or two, to music@northcoastjournal.com.

Editor’s note: “Setlist” writer Andy Powell is endeavoring to interview all of Humboldt County’s supervisors on their musical inclinations and appreciations.

Look for more “Jamming with your public servants” features in the future.

Andy Powell is a congenital music lover and hosts The Night Show on KWPT 100.3 FM weeknights at 6 p.m.

He wouldn’t really want to play with The Ramones. Nor they with him.

Calendar February 25 - March 3, 2016

the show is LA comedian Lisa Best. Also featuring locals John McClurg and Kim Hodges. Hosted by Matt Redbeard. $10.

THEATER

Festival de Cine The 18th annual International Latino Film Festival lights up Mill Creek Cinema March 1 through 3 at 6 p.m. ($5 per film, free to students enrolled in specific classes at HSU/CR). This collaboration of Humboldt State University’s Department of World Languages and Cultures and College of the Redwoods’ Arts and Humanities Department lets viewers enjoy and discuss films relating to Hispanic culture and experience.

This year’s selections couldn’t be more timely.

Keynote speaker Karim Hauser Askalani, a former BBC journalist in the Middle East and currently head of Governance at Casa Árabe in Madrid, introduces three films followed by discussion with HSU and CR faculty. The festival delves into the theme of “Arab Cultural Heritage in Spain” with: Adiós Carmen, the story of a 10-year-old Moroccan boy who is introduced to the world through cinema by his new friend Carmen, a Spanish exile; Wilaya, a drama about a Sahrawi refugee family suddenly confronted with the death of the mother and the return of the younger sister who has lived most of her life in Spain; and Retorno a Hansala, in which a woman loses her brother in an illegal immigration attempt and must return his body to their homeland. All films will be shown in Spanish, Arabic and Berber with English subtitles, so bring your glasses.

Cast Out

The Witch’s spell, Race’s false start

By John J. Bennett

filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

THE WITCH. A few things built my expectations for The Witch. First, of course, was the trailer, which cut together some of the more striking visual elements and off-putting moments into an unnerving little straight shot of devilishness, overlaid by pull quotes declaiming it as the new scariest movie ever made. But we’ve all been taken in by effective marketing before, and the job of the trailer is to draw us into the theater anyway. Related but perhaps even more pointed is the fact that The Witch joins a growing group of arty, independent horror pictures that have found their way to market in the wake of the minor mainstream horror boom we experienced a couple of years ago, thanks in large part to director James Wan. I became a happy, unsuspecting participant in that boom, finding joy, surprise and art in a genre I had previously neglected. That pleasant surprise has subsequently presented problems, elevating my hopes whenever a new indie horror offering punches through. And while I celebrate new storytellers with talent and fortitude presenting their hard work to a wider audience, I worry about the undercurrent of sepulchral seriousness that increasingly defines that work. A straight comparison is unfair, but by way of clarification, I enjoy The Conjuring and You’re Next because they offer artistic competency, old-fashioned scares and humor in satisfying, refreshing balance. Granted, to compare The Witch to either of those is apples and oranges, and the picture is certainly sure-footed and composed in its aesthetic and its sense of narrative. But it is also deathly humorless, and that’s where it loses me.

In a desperate New England settlement in the 17th Century, a family of five is ostracized from the community. The opening sequence in which this event occurs is rather elliptical, so while we know it’s a matter of religion, whether it’s that the family is too pious or not pious enough is

Worst petting zoo ever.

unclear. The upshot is that they are forced out into the wilderness to start anew. The land is unyielding, their crops wither on the vine and there is little game to be had.

In a place and time that, with the benefit of historical perspective, seems awful, these folks have it even worse. And that trend only continues when the youngest child, an infant boy, disappears while being watched by his oldest sister Thomasin (Anya Taylor-Joy). This sparks much wailing and accusation within the household and sets Thomasin at odds with her justifiably devastated mother. It is only the inciting incident in a series of events that will erode the family’s trust, faith, health and sanity, though.

Writer-director Robert Eggers creates a pleasantly unnerving atmosphere in the early going, combining long, static takes with ghostly choral music and orchestral stabs. His devout adherence to the language and tonality of the time are admirable (a title card at the end informs us that much of the dialogue is drawn from first person accounts). The cast gives raw, relatable performances in keeping with the air of smoldering dread. As the story really begins to take shape, though, it loses its hold. The characters become unsympathetic, the menacing aesthetic doesn’t pay off and a number of themes

(truth in religion, sanctity of the family, gender roles) are only tentatively explored before being left aside. In the end, I like that The Witch got made more than I like The Witch. R. 93m. BROADWAY, FORTUNA, MILL CREEK. RACE. A sort of Disney-light treatment of a watershed event in American history, sports-related and otherwise, Race describes Jesse Owens’ training for and participation in the Nazi-hosted 1936 Olympics. Jason Sudeikis is enjoyable, if unsurprising, to watch as Owens’ coach, and Stephan James is innocuous in the role, though there’s not much in it for him.

The production is well detailed enough to be convincing, if slightly antiseptic in its feel. The major failing here is its toothless handling of institutionalized racism, both at home and abroad. The filmmakers miss an opportunity to tell this story, warts and all, and really examine a tough question in an appropriate moment. Instead, this is a pleasantly forgettable biopic about overcoming adversity that doesn’t require much of the audience. PG13. 134M. BROADWAY, MILL CREEK.

YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED April 3, 1998. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE, IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on March 10, 2016, at the hour of 10:30 a.m., on the steps to the front entrance of the Humboldt County Courthouse, located at 825 5th Street, City of Eureka, County of Humboldt, State of California, PRIME PACIFIC, a corporation, as Trustee will sell at public auction, to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state, all payable at the time of sale, real property situated in the County of Humboldt, State of California, and the purported address is 654 Oakridge Drive, Redway, CA 95560 (APN: 077-041-009), and is more particularly described in the Deed of Trust referenced below.

Directions may be obtained pursuant to a written request submitted to the beneficiary: Julia B. Conner, formerly known as Julia B. Rowan, c/o Prime Pacific at (707) 468-5300 or mailing request to Prime Pacific, P.O. Box 177, Ukiah, CA 95482–within 10 days from the first publication of this notice.

If a street address or common designation of property is shown in this notice, no warranty is given as to its completeness or correctness. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address and other common designation, if any, shown herein.

The total amount of the unpaid obligation, together with reasonable estimate of the costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this notice is $87,912.68. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due.

The sale will be made without covenant or warranty of title, possession, or encumbrances to satisfy the obligation secured by and pursuant to the power of the sale conferred in that certain Deed of Trust, all advances thereunder, interest provided therein, and fees, charges and expenses of the trustee. The Deed of Trust was executed

by Peter Gray and Kim Gray, husband and wife, as the original Trustor, recorded September 3, 1998, in Document No. 1998-22959-4, Official Records of Humboldt County, and said property will be sold “as is” and no warranty or representation is made concerning its present condition.

Notice of Default and election to sell the described real property under the mentioned deed of trust was recorded on November 10, 2015, Document No. 2015-021443-4, Official Records of Humboldt County.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call PRIME PACIFIC at (707) 468-5300. You may also visit our website–primepacificforeclosures.com. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the website. THE BEST WAY TO VERIFY POSTPONEMENT INFORMATION IS TO ATTEND THE SCHEDULED SALE. The mortgagee or beneficiary has made contact with the borrower pursuant to CA Civil Code Section 2923.5 Dated: February 11, 2016

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should under− stand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the prop− erty. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this infor− mation. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, benefi− ciary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a cour−

hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, benefi− ciary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a cour− tesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 280− 2832 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.AUCTION.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 009772−CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

t 2:51 a.m. PDT on Sept. 14, twin observatories in Washington and Louisiana detected “ripples in the fabric of spacetime.”

After months of checking and re-checking, the LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) team, including Humboldt State University alumnus Corey Gray, announced on Feb. 11 it had found evidence of gravity waves in a fifth-of-a-second “chirp” detected simultaneously at both sites. A 40-year, billion-dollar gamble had paid off.

Based on his theory of General Relativity, Einstein predicted that spacetime would undulate noticeably given a sufficiently violent event (in this case, the distant collision of two black holes having a combined mass of over 60 suns). By “noticeably,” we’re not talking about something you can feel or see. Detection of the ripples — measuring less than one thousandth of the diameter of a proton — had to wait for super-sensitive technology to be invented and built. In the LIGOs, laser light is bounced 75 times to and fro inside a pair of 2-and-a-half-mile long vacuum tubes set at right angles to each other. Interferometers detect when the returning waves are slightly out of phase, indicating that a passing gravity wave has slightly altered the lengths of the tubes. They are probably the most precise measuring tools ever built. Two were needed to filter out local effects.

The best thing: A brilliantly designed and executed experiment has confirmed the notion of Einstein’s pliable spacetime matrix. But that’s also the worst thing.

Claude Shannon, father of information theory, famously quipped that information can be viewed as the capacity of a system to surprise the observer. Since General Relativity has already been confirmed via a dozen independent experimental approaches, detection of gravity waves last September amazed no one. The surprise — and therefore the information-value —

would have been in not detecting a signal after running the experiment for a suitably long time. Similarly, the discovery of the Higgs boson four years ago, confirmation of the Standard Model of particle physics, was completely anticipated. Both findings — gravity waves and the Higgs boson — merely confirmed what we already knew.

Like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s clue of a dog that didn’t bark on the night of a theft, not finding either one would have been the more compelling result.

In the big picture, physics is at a stalemate if the best we can do is to confirm already well-accepted theories. The only major unanticipated discovery in physics in the last few decades was in 1998, when two independent groups simultaneously found that the expansion of the universe is accelerating, thereby opening up whole new areas for future investigation. Impressive as they are, neither the LIGO results nor the Higgs boson detection offer much opportunity for truly radical progress.

On the other hand, I’m skeptical of taking the LIGO announcement at face value, and not because I doubt the precision of the experiment itself. What I worry about is our reliance on the spacetime metaphor, in which time and space are metaphysically interwoven into an invisible, flexible “fabric.” Following the LIGO announcement, animations of rippling spacetime (like water in a pond after a stone is tossed in) popped up on the web, as if such a purely metaphorical scenario were literally true. Newton imagined gravity as an invisible force acting at a distance; Einstein, working in a pre-quantum era, invoked the curvature of spacetime. What’s next? When (not if) our current conception of gravity is superseded by some new and improved theory, how long do you think that metaphor will last? l Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo.com) doubts the existence of black holes, too.
