The Mill Yard

The Mill Yard started in 1985 and was bought by owners Laurie Mark and Tanka Chase in 2002. Laurie and Tanka moved the business to their new location at 4949 West End Road in 2010. The Mill Yard now employs 30 people and offers Humboldt County the highest quality building materials.

“We have the best customers and employees in the world,” explains Laurie.

“That’s what built the success of The Mill Yard.” With over a third of its employees being there for over ten years, The Mill Yard offers the best in customer service and knowledge.

With delivery all over Humboldt, it’s important for the crew at The Mill Yard to stay fueled. For most of the crew this means a quick trip to one of Murphy’s five locations. “I love the deli, there are so many grab and go options,” Tanka explains. “Plus there are so many locations across Humboldt.”

Come in to The Mill Yard for all your building material needs; from lumber, to doors, windows, and decking, The Mill Yard has it all. For more information about The Mill Yard stop in at 4949 West End Road, visit their website at www.themillyard.biz or give them a call at 707-826-9860.

Learn Spanish

Editor: I suppose it’s a way of establishing your credentials as a progressive by printing part of the front page in Spanish (“Preparados,” April 9). But why stop there?

Print the whole newspaper in Spanish, because that’s the way California is heading.

Here illegally and can’t speak English? No problem, here’s a driver’s license anyway.

And wait awhile and you’ll get free medical coverage, too.

Reading Linda Stanberry’s story on our largest minority group, I get the sense of an air of entitlement. And as for the honor student who wants to become a lawyer (just to help others naturally), take a look at the bumper stickers on all the cars and with all the honor student stickers put there by proud parents. You’d think we were in Lake Wobegon not Eureka.

Richard C. Brown, Eureka

It’s Alive!

Editor: Grant Scott-Goforth is mistaken to equate ending cannabis (marijuana) prohibition with an experiment (“Give It Away Now,” April 9). Like the original prohibition with alcohol, which historically is known as the Grand Experiment, the sequel, with cannabis, is the experiment. More like a Frankenstein experiment.

The effort in Washington D.C. is simply a desperate attempt to end one of America’s worst policy failures in history.

Ending the negative consequences of cannabis prohibition requires forcing government to regulate cannabis. Unfortunately, Republican Congress chooses to force the black market to regulate the God-given plant. The proof: knowing most people in D.C. who have cannabis were not given their plant material.

Stan White, Dillon, Colorado

Thanks, Buhne

Editor: I want to start by telling Ryan Hurley how flattered I am that he would consider me a charter member of the “tall, aristocratic, well-coifed public servants club” (“Nerfing the World,” April 2). One out of three isn’t bad — I am tall.

“Aristocratic?” — hardly, as the son of a waitress and a small business bookkeeper.

“Well-coifed” just means that the camera caught me after I combed my hair from its usual unkempt, graying, fall-where-it-may look. I’m sure that Donald Trump, Hilary Clinton and Michelle Obama have better coifs — OK, maybe only two out of three.

Additionally, I thank you for the atten-

tion your “119-Percenters” piece brought to the issue of opioid abuse and how prevalent it is in rural Northern California. Unfortunately, I can’t take too much credit for my pill crushing demonstration being a “how-to” video. With nearly 1 in 10 California teenagers abusing prescription pain pills for recreational purposes and hospitalization rates for opioid overdose running twice the California average in some rural counties, the “how-to” abuse information is clearly already widely available. The abuse deterrent formula of pain killers addressed in Assembly Bill 623 is not a one-and-done solution, but they will give us an important tool for those of us who want to keep these powerful pain pills out of the hands of our children.

2nd District Assemblyman Jim Wood, Healdsburg

And Another Thing…

Editor: Harkening back to the recent article about the harm the out-of-town growers are doing to our streams with the water diversions (“Drained Dry,” March 26). We know what the problem is, no more studies necessary. What is needed is some strong government action, such as $10,000 fines, which go on the title of the landowner’s deed, for each infraction.

Fines may be altered according to the size and number of pipes stealing water.

The article about the lady and her experience with jury duty (“Civic Duty,” April 2) was meant to illustrate how few “citizens” actually participate and how the process works. The actual understory is how a nation with so much disposable wealth can send shuttles to the moon, have all manner of museums, etc., while at

Haulin’ Trash

Medford OREGON CALIFORNIA

Where your garbage goes

By Grant Scott-Goforth grant@northcoastjournal.com

calculations based on 2014 stats from HWMA, trucks traveled more than a million miles hauling Humboldt’s waste to landfills and returning, producing more than 1,700 times the average U.S. household’s annual CO2 emissions.

Humboldt does a decent job keeping trash out of the landfills, reaching a 69-percent diversion rate in 2011 — about 5 percent more than the statewide average. But more work in recycling and composting needs to be done to meet the state’s mandated diversion rate of 75 percent by 2020.

In a waste characterization study released in 2012, HWMA reported that more than half of the waste the agency processes could be diverted through recycling or composting. ●

etting a picture of Humboldt County’s waste situation is a little like snapping a picture of Bigfoot: Even if you get something, it’s going to be blurry and inconclusive.

That’s not to say there isn’t good data out there about the trash that Humboldt creates. But tracing a piece of trash from the bin under your sink to the landfill has a lot of variables.

First there are your haulers. A host of curbside pickup companies serve the county, depending on where you live. Or you might bring your trash to transfer stations in Eureka, Southern Humboldt or McKinleyville.

The vast majority of Humboldt’s trash is processed by the Humboldt Waste Management Authority, a joint powers authority made up of representatives from the county, Eureka, Arcata, Ferndale, Rio Dell and Blue Lake. Eel River Disposal in Fortuna and Humboldt Sanitation in McKinleyville also operate transfer stations and curbside routes. Some of the garbage those companies collect is processed by HWMA. The graphic here reflects only data from HWMA — most of Humboldt’s waste, but not all.

From HWMA’s Hawthorne Transfer Station in Eureka, household, commercial and construction trash is loaded in 23-ton shipments and sent hundreds of miles north to Medford, east to Anderson or south to Suisun City, where it’s buried in landfills. It’s a long, costly trip with a large carbon footprint. The operation sends more than eight trucks a day, on average. By the Journal’s

LeValley Home from Prison ‘Sabbatical’

trimscene.com 1911 Barnett Court, Suite 6 Redway, CA 95560 (707) 923-9319

Humboldt County’s original auto recycler since 1951

Dismantler #45649

For all your trimming, extracting and functional art needs

About nine and a half months after surrendering to federal prison, embattled local biologist Ron LeValley recently announced his return home with a grinning selfie taken somewhere on the North Coast and a plea for help paying down the debts incurred from his “sabbatical.”

Since LeValley’s incarceration for conspiring to embezzle almost $1 million from the Yurok Tribe, the prominent birder, nature photographer and wildlife biologist has kept up an email list dubbed “Outside my Window” that offers daily bird photographs (LeValley got some help on the outside with the daily emails). Folks on LeValley’s list got a surprise shortly after midnight the morning of April 14, when the (jailbird) selfie popped up in their inboxes with the following message: “Well, I am finally home! Back at the ocean! ... I would like to make a request to you. I will keep putting out the (Outside my Window) for free, but I would greatly appreciate the purchase of an 8x10 matted print from as many of you as are interested. The legal experience did cost me quite a bit and I would like to pay off

my bills. So if you have a favorite photo, please order one from me! Many thanks to you all for the support I received while I was on ‘sabbatical.’”

Included in those bills LeValley mentions, presumably, is $852,000 in courtordered victim restitution payments.

According to court records, LeValley has yet to make a payment on either debt, which may be why he’s pushing the 8X10 prints, which he retails for $45 to $85 apiece, depending on matting and framing preferences.

According to court documents, LeValley used his company, Mad River Biologists, to conspire with former Yurok Tribe Forestry Director Roland Raymond to embezzle tribal funds through a complex scheme of fake and inflated invoices and payments for northern spotted owl survey work that Mad River Biologists never performed. It’s unclear whether the embezzlement affected timber harvest plans or led to the destruction of potential owl habitats.

Since his arrest in early 2012, LeValley hasn’t spoken with the press and attempts to reach him for this story were unsuccessful. But those eager to hear his story in his words need not fret, as he promises a “summary” in the near future. Stay tuned as the bird prepares to sing.

Baked in Arcata

rcata and pot. Are they, or aren’t they?

In 2014, the city started collecting a tax for high electricity use, a move clearly targeting residential grow houses. The council’s relationship with dispensaries has been all over the map since medical marijuana was legalized in 1996, culminating in a cap on the number of dispensaries allowed in the city.

But now, with the winds of statewide legalization at the city’s back, a decidedly pot-friendly idea is germinating: the Arcata Marijuana Industrial Complex.

When legalization (most likely) plops into California’s lap next year, the cannabis retail sector is expected to explode with buds and concentrates, food and candies, and tinctures, lip balms and lotions.

With legalization will come a greater need for oversight of those products, and a greater expectation from customers that the food, smoke and cosmetics they’re consuming are prepared and labeled properly. It’s in that notion that Economic Development Director Larry Oetker sees Arcata’s next big opportunity.

Arcata has a “long history as the niche manufacturing capital of Humboldt County,” Oetker says.

The city’s Aldergrove Industrial Park makes for an attractive business setting, and Oetker says the city’s success with a kitchen facility for blossoming food companies gives Arcata an edge in attracting manufacturers of marijuana-infused goodies.

But ganja brownies can’t be cooked in the city’s existing facility — there’s too much risk of cross contamination with non-mind-altering snacks.

However, just around the corner on West End Road, between the U.S. Highway 101 underpass and the Aldergrove Industrial Park, lies the dying carcass of the Humboldt Flakeboard plant. Massive, abandoned and littered with debris, it’s an eyesore, but it’s brimming with possibility, Oetker says.

With 170,000 square feet, the site could

host a variety of growing and processing facilities. Oetker points out that it’s not next to residential areas, schools or other “sensitive users” that might be impacted by marijuana businesses.

And, Oetker says, “From an economic development standpoint … the best policy is to cluster similar business types together. Synergy.”

The Mad River Union first reported the city’s interest in the site on April 8.

A paranoid person might think Arcata — fighter of chain restaurants — is pushing out mom-and-pop growers in favor of big agribiz. But Oetker insists that his vision is all about small businesses.

To make a community marijuana processing plant work, the city would need to increase its cap on legal pot companies, he says (it currently stands at four) for small companies and kitchen-based hobbies to start up.

“Arcata’s whole strategy has been to encourage as many businesses as it can possibly generate and encourage them to grow and stay local,” he says.

With help from Oetker and other staff, the shape of Arcata’s position in the marijuana industry is up to the city’s council members. They will be the ones to decide whether to lift caps and ease permitting for marijuana businesses, and change zoning at sites.

And with recreational marijuana still illegal in California, the city has to approach all considerations from a medical angle.

Still, Oetker says he thinks the council is thinking ahead and that council members will take up the topic soon. The economic development committee is preparing a report looking at the what-ifs of legalization.

“I can tell you here’s is a great deal of interest from people that would like to locate their [medical marijuana] businesses in Arcata,” Oetker says, though he declines to name names.

“At this point I am almost ready to provide a recommendation that the council establish this area. But the council sets the policy. … I cannot get ahead of the council on this issue.” ●

Paul Sever’s Wilderness The Lost Coast Trail and the man who keeps it wild Story and photos by James Adam Taylor

THE KING RANGE NATIONAL CONSERVATION AREA ON THE LOST COAST WAS NAMED A DESIGNATED WILDERNESS AREA BY CONGRESS, MEANING THE ONLY STRETCH OF CALIFORNIA WITHOUT A COASTAL HIGHWAY HAS A STELLAR CAPACITY FOR OUTDOOR RECREATION AND SHOULD BE SPECIALLY MANAGED.

10 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • THURSDAY, APRIL 16, 2015 • northcoastjournal.com

T

he thick fog north of Black Sands Beach quickly masks the hikers I had met the day before as they pass by, heading south. Like myself, they had started the Lost Coast Trail at Mattole Beach, some 25 miles north.

For most, this journey is about the solitude and beauty of the Lost Coast, the rugged stretch of coastal lands devoid of highway that begin where U.S. Highway 101 turns inland near Fernbridge in Humboldt County, and stretches until State Route 1’s asphalt reaches the coast just north of Fort Bragg in Mendocino County.

Backpackers usually treat this as a one-way trip, leaving a car at each end, before covering the Humboldt section of trail in the King Range National Conservation area from Mattole Beach to Black Sands Beach. I, on the other hand, having just reached Black Sands Beach, turn around to hike the opposite direction, a “yo-yo” in hiker terminology.

This particular morning I’m waiting for a figure to emerge from the fog, a man I had only spoken to briefly on the phone a week before. I’d contacted the Bureau of Land Management offices in Arcata to find information about the Lost Coast Trail, curious to see what was going on out there: conservation efforts, trail-specific issues, biological field studies. I’m interested in that sort of thing. Through a chain of emails, I connected with Paul Sever, the King Range’s wilderness ranger. I had hiked the trail southbound the previous three days and was set to meet Sever and accompany him north on his patrol. “I’ll be carrying a shovel,” he had said on the phone. I pack my camp near split rock and keep watch for a man with a shovel.

That shovel, I would come to find, is arguably the most important tool in Sever’s kit, the runner up being his notebook. Wiry with a light complexion and narrow features, Sever is a 29-year-old graduate of Humboldt State University’s resources management program and

has worked as a wilderness ranger with BLM since 2009. We hike on, chatting for a short while before Sever trails off toward an area I had seen illuminated by campfire and headlamps the night before. He explains that his two main duties while patrolling are to speak with users to encourage leave-no-trace ethics and collect information. In casual conversation, he asks key questions: “Do you have a bear canister? Did you fill out a wilderness permit? Do you know where to dispose of solid human waste?”

This is a quest for information — Sever wants to know where users come from (mostly the Bay Area) and gauge bear canister compliance rates. After each contact, Sever records stats in his notebook. The third question, it turns out, has a lot to do with the shovel.

Sever dismantles the smaller — and newer — of the two fire rings at the abandoned campsite.

I assist him in scattering the sticks, stones and ash, and he covers the remnants of the pit in soil.

“This is a wilderness area, really you are supposed to use the existing campfire rings when one is available and camp in areas that have already been impacted,” Sever explains. I stand back to appreciate the work, with Sever now off in the tall grass a few feet away. “Yeah, we got an ETB, make that two,” he says.

From my vantage, I can see him working the shovel, “A what?” I ask.

“Oh yeah, ETB, Exposed Turd Burial,” he explains. It turns out, Paul gets a lot of these.

If you are ever asked, “Do you know where to dispose of solid human waste on the Lost Coast Trail?” the correct answer is, you dig a hole 6- to 8-inches deep, 200 feet from the trail, campsites and water sources. In most cases, this means you dig in wet sand below the high tide line on the beach. The LCT follows a narrow stretch of land, with the Pacific on one side and steep hillsides and cliffs on the other.

With few exceptions, areas fit for camping are closer to water sources than is ideal. If solid waste disposal

continued from previous page were left entirely to suitable camping areas, every tent would rest within inches of excrement, and every stream fit for water collection would be contaminated.

Sever performs ETBs because some people aren’t considerate enough to do it themselves. Beyond the obvious reasons of protecting water safety and keeping a fly from inspecting human feces and then landing in your freeze-dried beef stroganoff, Sever buries turds so we can experience an area of “Designated Wilderness” as intended. “Big W, wilderness,” as they’re often referred to by those who work on and manage the lands, are areas designated by Congress as having stellar capacities for outdoor recreation.

Designated Wilderness lands have special rules and are managed to ensure certain criteria are met. The opportunity for solitude is paramount. In short, Sever buries feces, hauls out garbage and dismantles excessive fire rings to ensure that anyone looking to have a wilderness experience on the Lost Coast can enjoy the area in its full primal splendor.

By the end of the first day, Sever has made contact with 100 trail users. Hiking north against the flow is a very different experience. The impression of solitude and communion with the elements seems

somewhat of a stretch, partly because we are hiking during spring break, opposite throngs of exuberant young people in bright colors, and partly because I’m seeing the area through Sever’s eyes. It is becoming apparent that much of the wilderness experience in this part of the King Range is the hard work of Paul Sever.

That night we make camp at Miller Flat. “This is one of the problem spots,” Sever explains. Eight miles north of Black Sands Beach, Miller and Big flats are an easy enough hike with a surfboard. This is possibly the only place where surfing in a wilderness area is possible. Unlike backpackers traditionally traveling south for many more miles before reaching the area, surfers have a shorter hike. And, as their primary endeavor is surfing, they aren’t necessarily as geared for the particulars of backpacking.

I follow Sever through a meadow to a brushy thicket where he reveals a pile of items: a butane stove and empty canisters, heavy duty plastic tarps, multiple sauce pans, surf fins, a framing hammer and a full-size pillow, among other odd bits. It isn’t apparent if this is carelessness, or if the items have been left behind for the next visit or the next visitor, but it represents a cultural difference in the

How to get there

Trail tips

There are no roads on the Lost Coast, no significant ones anyway.

To get there from the north, one must part ways with U.S. Highway 101, pass through Ferndale, and follow 35 miles of narrow, twisting and often crumbling asphalt through open rangeland. The 35-mile drive takes at least an hour and a half, provided cattle refrain from blocking traffic. The southern approach is even longer. Splitting from Highway 101 in Garberville, one should expect a more than two-hour drive to cover the 50 miles to Mattole Beach and the Lost Coast trailhead.

• Only burn sticks and branches you can break by hand

• “Cotton kills,” so avoid cotton clothing, which can be slow to dry and lead to hypothermia • Invest in strong sunblock • Wear long pants or gaiters to protect you from poison oak and keep sand out of your boots • Keep dry with a raincoat and a pack cover

Arrange for transportation Leave a car at each end of the trail or arrange for shuttle service: • Sherri Luallin, Lost Coast Shuttle Service, 986-7437 or 223-1547 • Blu Graham, Lost Coast Adventure Tours, 986-9895 or 502-7514

expects, over time more educated users will follow and promote best practices.

One area has already started to show proof that change is possible. Sever leads me to a thicket of alders with names carved into their branches and trunks, and

tents erected below their spring foliage.

“It’s looking pretty good in here,” he says.

In previous years, he and volunteer groups had cut down countless ropes and maritime floats that had been found on the beach and tied up in the branches. After a continued on next page

continued from previous page few seasons they stopped appearing. One float encourages more, Sever says, and the name of the game is to eliminate the problem while it’s small, before adding to the mess becomes a trend.

As we eat dinner, discussion turns toward bears and we share tales of encounters. The canisters, he explains, have transformed the bears in the area. Bears can smell maybe seven times better than a bloodhound, and are more scavengers than hunters. Really, they just want an easy meal.

One night here at Miller Flat, Sever recalls, a group of volunteers had their food canisters in a row at the other end of the meadow. At some point in the night, Sever awoke to a sound. Looking out of the tent he could see a large bear by moonlight in the distance. “It went from canister to canister,” he recalls, and the bear knew the canisters were a waste of time, and eventually just left in search of an easier meal. With few exceptions, there are no trees on the LCT, so canisters are the only safe food storage. As they say, “a fed bear is a dead bear.” Food-habituated bears see humans as a source of an easy

Requirements

Leave No Trace

• Carry a current tide table and map, as some areas are dangerous and impassable at high tide

• If you pack it, in pack it out

• Don’t turn your back on the ocean, “sneaker waves” can be deadly

• Double check camp areas for left-behind items

• Food must be kept in a bear canister (they can be rented at the BLM offices in Whitethorn and Arcata, from the general stores in Shelter Cove and Petrolia and through HSU Center Activities)

• Camp in already impacted areas

• Fill out and display a wilderness permit for each group • Check for seasonal fire and ignition restrictions • Dispose of human waste and food scraps safely (bury them in a 6- to 9-inch-deep hole, 200 feet from camp areas, trails, and water sources) • Respect private land parcels and cabins along the trail

from the surf; and we see bear tracks in the sand. As we traverse a section of trail following the San Andreas Fault, Sever points to interesting geologic features.

“See this twisted, crazy-looking layer?

This is the Franciscan Assemblage. Look up there,” he says, pointing to basketballsized, rounded stones atop a twisted layer.

The stones are identical to what we are walking on — large, round rocks that sit underwater at high tide. This whole place is dynamic, with the forces of wind and water constantly shaping the Earth’s surface. More sporadic, however, are tectonic shifts. Uplifts have moved stones from the surf to edges of crumbly cliffs 15 feet above, evidence that the shoreline has moved and lurched, sometimes multiple times in a small area.

We round a corner, 50 yards south of an area impassible at high tide, and see a whale carcass that has washed ashore.

It was there when I passed days earlier.

Now, however, its color has changed to a dingy brown and it has begun to swell in the sun. Gulls and ravens crowd the shore, waiting for larger animals or possibly time to break through the whale’s thick skin so

they may partake. The strong winds keep the smell to minimum and we are able to inspect the goliath up close. A group of hikers passing south stops too, and Sever checks in with them, asking the three important questions. For a time, the five of us admire the beast together.

Sever and I continue on to Sealion Gulch, camping above in a high windy meadow that’s sharply slanted. Offshore, large protrusions of rock host dozens of sealions. Jockeying for position, their calls and belches offer a disgruntled serenade that’s strangely comforting through the evening and into the night.

We finish the remainder of the hike the following day, making our way to Mattole Beach by mid afternoon. In all,

we packed out 21 pounds of garbage, including a rusty machete, a dozen beer bottles and a pair of boots. Sever recorded five ETBs and six CRDs (campfire rings destroyed), among other stats. As I walk to my truck to drop off my pack, Sever stops to talk to a guy starting off at the trailhead. I can see he has a machete strapped to his pack. Listening in, I can hear Sever explaining the importance of a bear canister and telling the gentleman that he can rent one from the Petrolia general store, just 15 minutes away. Paul Sever is too polite to say it, so I’ll say it here: Hey man, you don’t need that machete, but the bear canister, that’s important. l

Food Not Lawns

BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER. HEATHER JO FLORES

Bringing the farm to your front yard

By Heather Jo Flores

downanddirty@northcoastjournal.com

G

rowing food at home is hardly a new idea. But in this culture, where more people know how to take the perfect selfie than how to grow a potato, urban agriculture has become a form of activism.

The slogan “Food Not Lawns” is spreading like wildfire. Here are some reasons why: Lawns are the largest agricultural sector, covering more than 40 million acres of land and consuming more than 800 million gallons of fuel each year in the U.S. alone, according to Duke environmental professor William Chameides. The cost of organic produce is prohibitive for many families. Growing their own gives them access. Eating fresh produce improves health and increases vitality. Gardening brings a family closer together and sharing surplus produce, seeds and plants builds community with neighbors and fellow gardeners. Growing food creates a sense of empowerment and gives gardeners the feeling that they have control over their food supply.

These are just some of the ideas that sparked the Food Not Lawns movement.

The original Food Not Lawns organization started in 1999 in Eugene, Oregon. Three of us who cooked for the local Food Not Bombs chapter started calling ourselves Food Not Lawns and hosting workshops in our garden. Our vision was to share seeds and plants with our neighborhood, to promote local awareness about food security and to learn about permaculture, sustainability and organic gardening.

Within two years the project had expanded to include dozens of gardens around the neighborhood, and Food Not Lawns was rewarded with a Neighborhood Development Grant from the city of Eugene.

From there, Food Not Lawns continued to blossom. Now, 16 years later, Food Not Lawns is an International network with more than 50 local chapters.

Here are some of the most frequently

asked questions that I get from people who want to turn their lawns into gardens:

How do I get rid of the grass?

There are a few options, each with pros and cons: Sheet mulching.

Sheet mulching is a technique where you cover the grass with cardboard and then pile on organic matter — straw, leaves, food scraps, soil. It’s basically like building a wide, short compost pile all over the yard. The top layer is covered with fine mulch and then garden starts and seeds can be planted directly into the mulch. This is the preferred method of most permaculture aficionados, as it is the least harmful to soil communities and can be a quick way to build up garden soil for growing food. However, sheet mulching can pose multiple problems.

If you have the kind of grass that spreads through underground rhizomes, there is a good chance those roots won’t die under the mulch, and will eventually create a hard-pack of thick roots that your plants won’t be able to penetrate. Also, the piles of un-composted materials can tie up nutrients and make it hard for your veggies to thrive.

Garden boxes, aka raised beds.

This can be a great way to build gardens quickly, while still maintaining paths and patches of your lawn. Spread a layer of landscape cloth or cardboard on the ground to suppress the grass, and then build boxes in any shape on top. Fill with organic garden soil and you’re ready to plant. This is a great technique for people who have back problems and prefer to garden in beds that are up off the ground.

Problems with garden boxes include the continued growth of grass rhizomes, as I mentioned above with sheet mulching.

Also, the soil in the boxes gets stale over

time and will need to be replaced and/ or amended. Garden boxes also tend to decay and fall apart over time, and will need to be repaired.

Roto-tilling (or hand-digging) By far the most effective way for permanently removing your lawn is to dig off the top layer of grass and then till up the soil underneath. This presents a blank slate for designing your garden layout, and new plants will be able to send deep roots into the ground. Tilling can be problematic, however, if you have lots of rocks or toxic soil. Tilling also disrupts microcommunities in the soil, so it’s important to mulch over the new beds with good organic matter. Once you’ve tilled and established a garden, you probably won’t need to till again as long as you maintain the garden and keep the remnants of grass roots from re-establishing themselves.

ruthless with dead and diseased plants.

If your energy for gardening wanes, scale back your plans and only grow what you can maintain.

3. Be charitable. Offer surplus produce, plants and seeds to your neighbors. Invite them to share in the harvest and offer to help them with their garden ideas. Neighbors who value you as a friend are much less likely to cause problems.

4. Be considerate. Understand that not everyone in your neighborhood will be as excited about growing food as you are.

Don’t leave piles of soil or cardboard in the driveway for weeks on end. Consider their needs and they will consider yours.

Does it have to be in the front yard?

Not at all. In fact I recommend starting small. Remove a section of the lawn and plant a little bit of food or an herb spiral.

Or remove the lawn around the edges and plant an edible hedge of raspberries and currants. Or just carve out a few circular spots and plant some peaches and figs.

These small changes will provide a delicious inspiration for you and your neighbors, and when the time is right to take out the rest of the lawn, you’ll be ready!

Of course not! In my opinion, the transformation of any lawn to a garden is always a good thing. However, growing food in the front yard becomes a statement to your community, telling them that you value homegrown food. Front yard gardens invite community dialogue, and bring fellow gardeners in the neighborhood out of the woodwork. Front yard gardens can also provoke complaints from the neighbors, however, so follow these four basic guidelines to help ensure those neighborly reactions are positive: 1. Be creative. Spend some time designing a garden that is beautiful and unique.

Get some books on edible ornamentals and create a landscape people will see as a work of art.

2. Be consistent. Don’t let the front yard get overgrown and unsightly. Keep up with weeding, mulching and pruning. Be

I’m overwhelmed!

Do I have to rip out the whole lawn?

This summer, Heather Jo Flores, the author of Food Not Lawns; How to Turn Your Yard into a Garden and Your Neighborhood into a Community, is taking the Food Not Lawns show on the road with her Edible Nation Tour. She will teach workshops, plant gardens and help organize communities across the country around the idea that growing food at home helps build a more sustainable society.

My Humboldt Diary Bob Rowen, My Humboldt Diary, LLC, 2014

By Nerissa Moran

lapses in safety protocols at the power plant and alleges a corporate culture at PG&E of intimidating employees who tried to address the issues with supervisors or in plant safety meetings. He begins before the nuclear power plant became operational in 1963. Rowen explains that the Humboldt Bay reactor was originally loaded with nuclear fuel housed in stainless steel fuel cladding. He claims that while a far superior but more expensive zircaloy cladding was available, cheaper materials, coupled with the specific design of the reactor, led to the breakdown of the stainless steel cladding and increasingly high radiation levels in all systems throughout the plant,

W

hen President Obama made his announcement of loan guarantees to the nuclear industry in 2010, Bob Rowen decided it was time to pick up his pen. My Humboldt Diary: A True Story of Betrayal of the Public Trust, is Rowen’s account of his life as a nuclear control technician working for Pacific Gas & Electric at the Humboldt Bay Nuclear Power Plant from the mid-1960s to the early 1970s. It is an indictment of PG&E, as well as the meticulous and often painful chronicling of young man’s political coming of age.

Rowen details many

including the gaseous discharge.

Other alleged breaches of safety protocols Rowen describes involve the release and transportation of spent fuel and the removal of a continuous air sample monitor at the South Bay Elementary School located 400 yards directly downwind from the plant.

In the book, Rowen claims he paid a high price for exposing, as he says, “PG&E’s unquestionably immoral disregard for employee and public safety.” He tells of being fired from his job, blacklisted from the nuclear industry, publicly smeared, accused of “communist tendencies” and being a member of SDS, as well as garnering an FBI file that would have made Joseph McCarthy proud.

Bob Rowen is in some ways the perfect person to tell this story convincingly.

Trained as a U.S. Marine, he began as a true believer in the industry who worked hard to become a nuclear control technician and only gradually came to doubt the technology’s safety while he worked at the Humboldt Bay Power Plant.

While convincing, the book is not well edited. It is repetitive and a bit disjointed. Not everyone will want to read past the first couple of chapters. But for me, that does not detract from the bravery of the writer, the value of his testimony or the excellent documentation of the assertions in the text. l

FIVe THINGS To knoW

Before All Hope For the Planet Is Lost

By Jennifer Savage

Support change at the top. Support those who prioritize the environment: legislators who put forth bills to reduce waste and enforce clean water regulations; elected officials who serve the public’s interests; citizen leaders who demand accountability; businesses that voluntarily go greener.

We, as individuals, have a responsibility to do right, but shouldering the burden of cleaning up after mass producers of pollution and suffering the impacts of unsustainable industries is an unfair burden.

Consider the drought: Industrial agricultural, the beef industry, statewide inefficiency, outdoor residential usage (particularly in Southern California), bottled water and lousy regulation are all enormous factors that must be addressed and that far supersede one individual’s impact. You taking shorter showers is a comparative drop in the bucket. A simpler example: Convincing one coffee shop to forgo to-go coffee cups diverts far more waste than you remembering to bring your reusable mug.

2. You should still bring your reusable mug.

3. Support organizations that fight on behalf of the environment. (Full disclosure: I work for those beach huggers at the Northcoast Environmental Center.)

Attending public meetings, delving into

public policy, keeping track of legislation and building relationships with agency staff, doing the hands-on work to restore damaged ecosystems and running educational programs is a full-time job and then some. Without watchdog nonprofits, we’d be living in a dirtier, sadder world.

Donate money, time, sponsorships, whatever works for you, so these organizations can continue working on behalf of us all.

4. Be public in your support. The individuals undermining environmental education and research often disregard the truth, so those of us who adhere to science and facts need to speak more loudly and more often.

5. Source your stuff. From seafood to solar panels, pot to pottery, handcrafted chocolate to handblown glass, know where what you buy comes from. The more locally crafted, the better. If what you’re purchasing was at least made in America, that’s better than buying something assembled and shipped over from a country with lesser environmental regulations (and subpar labor standards). It’s not easy! Buy secondhand. Trade. Borrow. Get creative. Do without.

Bonus: Go spend time in the forest, at the river, at the beach, in the ocean, in the dunes. Stay in love with nature and you’ll care more about protecting it. l

Those of us who adhere to science and facts need to speak more loudly and more often.

The underappreciated little smelt

1735 4th St. Eureka • 443-2080

By Susan Penn

tabletalk@northcoastjournal.com

I

t was still dark at 6 am, but the street light shining into the custom aluminum bed of the pickup parked on the Englund Marine dock revealed a mass of finger-length, silvery night smelt.

You may not think of smelt as dinner fare — they certainly weren’t on my shopping list until someone suggested I was overlooking a local treasure. They were right! Fried smelt are scrumptious, nutritious finger food — crispy on the outside, tender and moist with a mild, sweet flavor on the inside. Smelt are also sustainable, affordable and an integral piece of the local food system.

Just three hours ago these little gems were tumbling in the surf to spawn at Gold Beach, as millions do from January through August. Fishermen wait on shore, holding A frame nets not unlike those used by Native Americans, looking for silver in the waves.

This had been a successful night of fishing for JJ and Adam Logan, who now had the job of washing 1,300 pounds of smelt.

JJ started scooping fish into a large tub of water at the back of the truck with a flatbladed shovel. A small amount of gravel from the catch sank to the bottom, and the men transferred the clean fish into a bin by hand.

The spotlight on the back of the truck illuminated tiny translucent globes floating and clinging to the sides in the wash basin — eggs. Smelt spawn on gravelly, turbulent beaches. The eggs adhere to the gravel, are quickly washed out to sea and hatch in about two weeks.

The fact that essentially all the local smelt fishing is done from shore using only hand-held nets precludes overfishing, a major component of sustainable fishing.

At its peak, this fishery brought in up to

THERE’S NO OVERFISHING THESE SOON-TO-BE “FRIES WITH EYES.” PHOTO BY SUSAN PENN

2.5 million pounds of fish annually, less than 2 percent of the total run. By 2006, with just 17 permits for beach vehicle access issued by Redwood State and National Park, the fishery had diminished significantly. Annual catch now averages about 250,000 pounds. Most of that is sold in stores and restaurants in the Bay area and along the I-5 corridor. About 30 percent is used as feed by aquariums and wildlife care organizations.

The surf fishing method also has a very low rate of by-catch, another consideration in the sustainability of a fishery.

When the fish are running, the schools are so tightly packed that few other fish wind up in the nets.

So why isn’t smelt more popular? Perhaps people don’t know how to prepare them. In larger markets, smelt are often sold cleaned, with the heads removed, but locally they appear as whole fish.

Very small (3- to 6-inch) whole fish. Night smelt are eaten tip to tail, while day smelt need to be deboned, so be sure you know which kind you’re buying. The recipe here is for night smelt, which are available earlier in the year through summer. And with night smelt, size matters: Smaller is better.

The favorite way to eat smelt is fried, often whole. The head does add crunch, and some calcium. A popular Bay area restaurant sells them as “fries with eyes.”

The only drawback to eating them whole is that you may encounter sand. I am not a fan of grit in my fish, so I cleaned the larger ones. With a pair of kitchen shears, cut off the head and cut the bottom of the belly open. You can rinse out the insides with running water or save water by running your thumbnail along the opening, cleaning everything out in one quick motion.

Fried Smelt with Fresh Herbs Serves 4

Bayfront Restaurant One F Street, Eureka, CA 443-7489

Ingredients and method: Cooking oil for frying (½ olive oil, ½ safflower works well) 1 cup masa (you could substitute flour, cornmeal or panko) 1 pound smelt (with or without heads) 2 tablespoons butter Big handful fresh herbs, your choice, minced 2 cloves garlic Salt and pepper to taste 1 large Meyer lemon, halved Directions: In a wide pan, heat ½ inch of oil to 350 F. A little masa dropped in will bubble.

In a shallow bowl, mix the masa, salt and pepper. Coat the smelt on both sides with the masa, then carefully slide them one at a time into the hot oil to fry. Allow enough room so they don’t touch while cooking. Fry each side of the smelt for about 2 minutes.

Drain on a wire rack. These little fish cool quickly, so place them in a warm oven while you cook successive batches.

Meanwhile, heat the butter in a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the fresh garlic, and when it becomes fragrant, season with salt and pepper and the juice of one of the lemon halves. Just before serving, stir in the fresh herbs, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Pour this over the plated fried smelt and serve immediately with lemon wedges. l

Monday: Warm yourself up

If you have lived in Humboldt for any length of time and are a fan of the bluegrass, you already know all about SF’s Hot Buttered Rum and Humboldt’s Absynth Quintet. (Did you know you can mix rum and absinthe with orgeat, simple syrup, lemon juice and bitters to make a cocktail called the “Absinthe-Minded Professor?

True!) If you are new to town, please know that these are two of the West Coast’s most outstanding, creative, sexy bluegrass bands in existence. Something else to know about HBR: The band is committed to achieving its musical goals in an environmentally sensitive manner and toured for years in an old school bus converted to run on 100 percent vegetable oil and recently traded up for a newer van that runs on biofuel. So, all due props to them for loving the Earth so well. Catch ’em 9 p.m. at Humbrews. $15.

Humboldt State University film students have been bringing carefully-crafted independent films to local aficionados for 48 years via the Humboldt International Film Festival. It’s the oldest student-run film festival in the world — HSU students have been prescreening and judging festival submissions since 1967. This year, the festival returns to its original home, the Minor Theatre, after spending nearly a decade at the Van Duzer Theater.

The festival kicks off Wednesday, April 22 and runs through Saturday, April 25 with 26 films over the first three nights. The screen lights up each night at 7 p.m. ($5 per night). Wednesday gets things started with the weird and wonderful Animation/Experimental night, including I Was a Teenage Girl Apparently, Uncandy, Swallowed Whole and Cybergenisis. On Thursday, see the documentaries Road to Desegregation, Old Dudes, Code Oakland, Life Under the Bridge and DAMS. Narrative night is on Friday, with Tenuous, Electric Indigo, The Matador, Son Shine, Consolation Prize and The Collection, among others. Wrap it up with Best of the Fest and Judges Awards on closing night, Saturday.

These films embody the art, time and execution of student filmmakers from around the world.

Come to the Minor Theatre and see the storytelling unfold. The next Scorsese, Bergman, Capra or Bigelow may be seated next to you.

This time each year, birding revelers flock to fields and wildlife habitats throughout Humboldt for Godwit Days, the annual celebration of the Marbled Godwit. The week-long festival from Friday, April 15 to Wednesday, April 22 celebrates its 20th year this year and features field trips, lectures, workshops, art exhibits, boat excursions and more during the peak of migration season.

With events at the Arcata Community Center and the Arcata Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary, as well as throughout Humboldt County, the festival is a chance to learn about, photograph and otherwise obsess over the tens of thousands of shorebirds. And let’s not forget the snowy plover and spotted owl — two other area stars. As for the human element, you can listen to speakers and acclaimed authors, do some crafting and view Godwit-inspired artwork by children. Hop aboard kayak trips, take a marsh night hike, or go birding from Trinidad to Ferndale and beyond.

On Friday, April 17 at 5 p.m., stop by the free opening reception at the Arcata Community Center.

Stay for the Humboldt County Bird of the Year award and lectures by Friends of the Arcata Marsh and Green Diamond Resource Company. Catch this year’s keynote speaker Andy Mack on Saturday, April 18 at 7:30 p.m. at the Arcata Community Center ($10 or free with registration). On Saturday, April 18 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and on Sunday, April 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the center, a kid favorite — live hawks and owls, courtesy of the Humboldt Wildlife Care Center.

I’M JUST SAYING EIGHT SECONDS SEEMS REALLY SHORT.

Saddle Sore

Longest Ride and Woman in Gold miss the buzzer

By Dev Richards

filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

THE LONGEST RIDE. This is not my first rodeo … movie. From 8 Seconds to The Cowboy Way, I’ve seen my fair share.

Despite my lack of interest in actual rodeos, the film genre is usually entertaining. What’s not to like about watching people fall down, literally get back in the saddle and then fall down again? It’s basically cowboy Benny Hill without the piano accompaniment. Apparently, Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook, various other dreck) doesn’t like fun things. The Longest Ride follows the long tradition of turning his sappy novels into unbearable films and it may have reset the bar for how horrible a Sparks adaptation can be.

Luke (Scott Eastwood) is a North Carolina bull rider who suffers what should have been a career-ending injury. One more fall could kill him, but he refuses to give up on his dream. Sophia (Britt Robertson) is a city slicker with only a few months to go until college graduation.

She’s counting down the days until she gets her dream job at a New York City art gallery. These two extremely attractive people from different worlds are an unlikely couple. That all changes, though, when Sophia catches Luke’s cowboy hat, they make eye contact and fall completely in love. Of course, their love can never work because their lives are headed

in opposite directions. And it looks like they’ll never see each other again until they pull Ira Levinson’s (Alan Alda) elderly body from the scene of a gruesome car accident. When Levinson wakes up in the hospital, Sophia is by his side holding a box of love letters salvaged from the wreckage. Via a series of flashbacks, Ira tells his own love story. Hearts melt, lovers unite and other predictable things happen.

The Longest Ride doesn’t just lack kickass rodeo scenes, it lacks relatable characters, a compelling story structure and a somewhat realistic plot. Alda is the only hope for a silver lining and, despite his best efforts, he fails to elevate the movie to even a tolerable level. Robertson is bland even when she is at her best and Eastwood is nothing more than a charming smile. Granted, he has more charisma on screen than his legendary father, but it’s still not enough to develop a genuine interest in his character’s outcome. A love story means nothing if you don’t care about either of the love interests. The Longest Ride, like so many actual rodeo riders, falls flat in the dirt. This time, however, no one is rooting for it to get back up. PG13. 128m.

WOMAN IN GOLD. It was so close to being the perfect piece of Oscar bait. It has everything the Academy looks for in a nominee: historical relevance, Holocaust survivors, a plot based on a true story, even Helen Mirren (The Queen). Then Ryan Reynolds (Green Lantern) came

along and ruined everything. Woman in Gold could have been a contender, but Reynolds and a soft-focus, feel-good plot made it a bum.

Maria Altman (Mirren) flees Austria in 1939, after the German occupation. She makes it safely to the United States, but her once-affluent family is not as lucky.

Nazis seize their home, their business and their art. Decades after the end of World War II, the now elderly Altman tries to retrieve the stolen art, a Gustav Klimt masterpiece, but the Austrian government and its overly complex judicial system thwart her attempts. Altman takes the legal struggle stateside and seeks the help of a handsome rookie lawyer, Randol Schoenberg (Reynolds). Together, they take the case all the way to the United States Supreme Court.

Woman in Gold is a feather in director Simon Curtis’ (My Week with Marilyn) cap, as nearly all of his previous directorial work is comprised of made-for-TV movies and short-lived television series.

Mirren, as per usual, does a dame-worthy job with a character that is whimsical and determined, but with sadness at her core.

Then, there’s Reynolds. He’s a one-trick pony and that trick does not fit this film.

He brings his usual cocky boyishness to a role that required so much more dimension, particularly since he shares so much screen time with Mirren. In their scenes together, his performance distracts from the realism of the drama and it’s too hard to take him seriously.

Story-wise, there’s nothing particularly impressive or special about Woman in Gold. Sure, it follows the Oscar-nod formula, but it’s still far from spectacular.

It relies heavily on Mirren’s skills and Nazi flashbacks. Of course you want Altman to win, but an already rich woman gaining possession of her extremely valuable art is hardly the most compelling Holocaust story. Not to diminish the suffering that the real Altman endured, but it should be noted that there are countless heirlooms, keepsakes and antiques — less headline-

grabbing than the Klimt — that will likely never make it back to the families of Holocaust survivors. In the film, Altman has the necessary means to fight for what is rightfully hers and of course you’re rooting for her. But it’s hard to ignore how Woman in Gold paints a rosy picture about a very dark issue. PG13. 109m.

hen a passenger jet takes off, about one-third of its weight is the fuel it will burn flying from point A to point B. Rocket designers would swoon for such efficiency! When NASA blasts a rocket into orbit, it’s basically launching fuel, polluting the atmosphere with the exhaust en route. For instance, fuel accounted for about 95 percent of the weight of the Hubble space shuttle at launch, resulting in a rather pitiful payload; 2,000 tons of fully-fueled shuttle was needed to place the 12-ton space telescope into a 400-mile-high Earth orbit.

The efficient and ecological alternative is the space elevator, or “skyhook” to its fans. The concept, shown in the accompanying diagram, is simple: A vertical cable dangles from orbit to a fixed anchor point on the Earth’s equator. To get into space, a “climber” carrying the payload would roll itself up the cable. Typical designs call for a speed of about 200 mph in order to arrive in geostationary orbit, 22,000 miles high, five days after leaving the anchor station.

Most communication satellites hang out over the equator in “geostationary” orbits. As the word implies, an object orbiting 22,000 miles high stays at a fixed point over the planet. To an earthbound observer, it appears stationary, so a dish TV antenna, for instance, doesn’t have to be moved around; once aimed at a geostationary satellite, it stays aimed. Construction of a space elevator takes advantage of this phenomenon by lowering the cable from a point in geostationary orbit over the equator, while simultaneously spooling out cable in the opposite direction. Eventually the “down” cable, all 22,000 miles of it, hangs vertically, tethered to an anchor station on Earth’s surface (a floating barge in an ocean, in most proposals). The cable stays taut due to centrifugal force on a massive counterweight at the other end.

Sounds great, let’s go build one! All we need is a (very) long cable strong enough to support its own weight, after allowing for both decreasing gravity the higher you go, and the counterbalancing effect of centrifugal force. In round numbers, the cable has to support 3,000 miles of

A SPACE ELEVATOR USES A CABLE ANCHORED TO A POINT ON THE EQUATOR AND REACHING INTO SPACE. A COUNTERWEIGHT AT THE FAR END IS NEEDED TO MAINTAIN THE CENTER OF MASS ABOVE THE GEOSTATIONARY ORBIT.

its own weight. Steel doesn’t do it — nowhere near; a 20-mile long steel cable would break under its own weight. Kevlar, fiberglass or carbon-graphite fibers get us up to around 300 miles, still way too weak. What we need is a material with very high specific strength, that is, great tensile strength compared to its mass. Since most of an atom’s mass is in its nucleus, we’re looking for an element with comparatively few protons and neutrons, but many outer electrons to bond strongly to its neighbors.

Which is why carbon nanotubes are looking promising as space elevator cable material — carbon has an atomic weight of 6, compared to, for instance, 56 for iron.

Long nanotubes of carbon arranged in a honeycomb lattice are, weight-for-weight, a thousand times stronger than steel, and might work — in theory. Practically, the longest defect-free carbon nanotubes (and similar graphene ribbons) to date are inches long, not the thousands of miles needed for this venture.

But that’s just a matter of time, if past technological hurdles are any gauge. One day — not soon, but perhaps in a century or two — we’ll be reaching space by elevator, not by rocket. Only then, I believe, can we really start thinking of ourselves as a spacefaring civilization — without polluting our precious atmosphere as we go. l Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo.com) thinks that we’re in a two-dimensional hiatus of existence on Earth’s surface, between the threedimensionality of the ocean 400 million years behind us and space just ahead.
