wo days and 600 miles apart, a pair of governing bodies held very different conversations about the need for local input into development decisions that will impact Humboldt County for decades to come. It was a bit jarring.

First, on May 7, the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors had a testy exchange over a seemingly reasonable request from Fifth District Supervisor Steve Madrone that the board send a letter to the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), asking that it request that the California Coastal Commission delay a hearing on a controversial hotel project near Trinidad by two months so local residents can provide input. Two days later, the commission — an agency with a big-government reputation for taking a top-down approach — stressed the importance of making sure larger projects are heard in the communities that will house them.

Madrone’s request comes as the Coastal Commission is preparing to hold a hearing on Trinidad Rancheria’s proposed project to build a five-story hotel next to its casino on Scenic Drive. Because the Rancheria is a sovereign nation, it’s ultimately up to the BIA to approve the project. But as a part of the BIA’s process, the federal agency asks the commission to offer an “objection” or “concurrence” as to whether it would comply with the California Coastal Act. The matter is scheduled to come before the commission next month at its San Diego meeting — which falls just two months before the commission meets in Eureka.

Responding to requests from constituents, Madrone asked the board to send the letter to BIA, saying it was an issue of good governance and transparency to allow local residents to address the commission without having to drive 750 miles south. Three-fifths of the board pushed back. Hard. And that’s a bit perplexing.

Supervisor Virginia Bass said every jurisdiction in the state has important issues coming before the commission and it’s not up to the board to opine on which projects the commission hears and when. Supervisor Estelle Fennell said, as she understands it, BIA won’t grant the request anyway, adding she has confidence the commission will thoroughly vet the project. Supervisor Rex Bohn echoed the concerns of Rancheria representatives, saying the two-month delay could cause additional expenses and impact project financing.

But these reasons seem thin. After all, the board has not been shy about weighing in on the processes of other governing agencies. A couple of years ago, it urged the commission to support an application to expand oyster farming in Humboldt Bay. Heck, earlier in the

May 7 meeting, the board debated a resolution calling on the state to abandon plans for a high-speed rail and approved sending a letter to the California State University system urging it to reverse Humboldt State University’s gutting of KHSU-FM, in part, to close its budget deficit. So the board clearly has no philosophical issues with weighing in on other entities’ processes, disregarding their financial concerns and advocating the interests of its constituents.

But when Madrone and Supervisor Mike Wilson pushed back, with Wilson saying he didn’t understand the controversy and Madrone saying he was simply asking that the board defer to his knowledge of his constituents and support a request that’s tremendously important to some of them, things escalated. Bass said she felt blackmailed and Bohn told Madrone: “Respect is earned, not given and I hope you know that.”

The strangely terse exchange only seemed weirder when, two days later, California Coastal Commission Executive Director Jack Ainsworth described Caltrans’ pushback to postponing a hearing on its U.S. Highway 101 safety corridor improvement project two months until the commission meets in Eureka as “incredibly disappointing” and stressed the importance of holding local hearings for “these larger projects.”

Now the BIA clearly has a difficult decision ahead — one that will attempt to balance the desire of a sovereign nation for an economic development project against concerns over that project’s impact on the environment and coastal resources of the surrounding area. But we hope our elected officials would advocate at every step for more — not fewer — opportunities for their constituents to be heard on the issue.

We are not clear why Bohn, Bass and Fennell wouldn’t support Madrone’s request because, honestly, their stated reasons don’t make sense. Maybe they are putting vague concerns about the costs of the delay to the Rancheria over the value of ensuring locals feel heard on a project that could alter one of Humboldt County’s most famous viewscapes, which would be disappointing. Or perhaps they feel more allegiance to the project’s proponents than to the rest of us. After all, their former colleague, Ryan Sundberg, is working as the interim general manager of the Rancheria’s casino and David Tyson, Bohn’s close friend who worked with Bass as city manager when she was a Eureka city councilmember and mayor, is serving as the interim CEO of the Rancheria’s economic development arm and the public face of the project.

If that’s the case, well, that really would be incredibly disappointing. l

‘A Manufactured Divide’ Editor: On behalf of the Ladies of the CAB, along with the supportive listening community, thank you Humboldt State University journalism department for speaking out on behalf of KHSU (“KHSU Dismantling Rebuked, KEET Board to Discuss Possible Radio Venture,” posted online April 17). Your statement of support sheds light on a manufactured divide between the journalism department and KHSU, a diverse hybrid community radio station. Issues that the university administration have alluded to appear to stem from leadership that lent itself to separation rather than collaboration within the community of the university and the greater community served.

Here’s to celebrating the unity in community.

headlined, “The Graduates.” I really would like to clarify some things about my painting titled, “Red Scare: US Involvement in the Indonesian Genocide of 1965.”

I would like to make clear that the two central figures are not children and they are not standing in rags or in trash as described in the past article. These two figures are the remembrance of the people who died in the genocide

and they are standing on the expansive Indonesian archipelago. The flower motif in the background is done in wax with the use of a traditional Indonesian batik stamp. The red fan the main figure is holding symbolizes the red scare that swept through Asia as the U.S. sought to stamp out communism by backing and supporting the oppressive, militant leaders.

I encourage readers to watch the

films by Joshua Oppenheimer, The Act of Killing and The Look of Silence, that inspired this painting.

I have addressed this issue with the author and I still encourage her to edit the online version as well as to see the Graduate Art Show at HSU in person.

Council approves hotel project at former Eureka Chamber of Commerce site

‘Two Different Games’ Editor: Sherman, buried in your diatribe against Franklin Graham, you alluded to but for the Electoral College system of electing a U.S. president, we would be experiencing our first female president (Mailbox, May 9).

The game played was Electoral College, not Popular Vote — two different games.

To attempt to rationalize Hilary’s loss by claiming victory by popular vote is like you and I playing the game of Clue, you lose, and you try to rationalize your loss by applying the rules of Monopoly.

Those of us who understand the rule,

shake our head every time someone, in their ignorance, tries to apply the rules of Monopoly to a different game.

Next time, Sherman, do not forget to bring your rulebook.

he former Eureka Chamber of Commerce building and its surrounding property are slated to become the site of a new “upscale” 83-room hotel after the city council voted unanimously last week to accept a $435,000 bid for the parcel.

The project by SJN Hospitality — which built the Holiday Inn Express & Suites in Eureka a few years ago — was recommended by staff over a proposal by Alcohol Drug Care Services to use the current structure for a 16-bed crisis and sobering center.

The single-story, 1950s-era building located on 1 acre that sits at the corner of Broadway and Hawthorne Street served as the chamber’s headquarters for decades, but last year the business organization asked to be let out of its long-term lease after the city discontinued its contract with the chamber to run a visitors center at the site.

While the city owns the property, the chamber paid for the construction and maintenance of the building under a 1957 agreement that had ownership reverting to the city in 2033, when the chamber’s lease was slated to end.

Last summer, the council agreed to pay the chamber $100,000 as “compensation” for the remainder of the lease and allow the chamber to move and create a business incubator facility in the downtown area. That, in turn, allows the city to sell the property outright.

In February, a request for proposals was circulated for the property resulting in two responses: the hotel development and the treatment center.

developmental services, says the SJN project was the one that most closely aligned with the RFP requisites, which included the ability to “purchase and develop the property beyond its existing condition,” and generate tax revenue.

Noting that the city is working to find another location for the treatment center proposed by ADCS, which currently runs the 56-bed Waterfront Recovery Services treatment program at the former Multiple Assistance Center and oversees 39 units of transitional housing at the Serenity Inn, Holmlund says funding has not been secured for the operations of the proposed project, and ADCS wasn’t looking to purchase the property or pay a lease.

Holmlund tells the Journal the hotel option is the “best fiscal opportunity for the city, as well as for doing aesthetic improvements” along the busy main street.

In the General Plan update, the Broadway corridor “is envisioned to increase in density with taller buildings, and become a beautiful and well-coordinated entry-way into the City and a key retail and service-commercial corridor.”

According to SJN Hospitality’s proposal, the developer has a purchase agreement for a property behind the Broadway site and plans to build a four-story hotel on the combined 29,000-square-foot lot that would generate “millions of dollars in TOT over the life of the property,” referring to the transitory occupancy tax levied on hotel rooms.

“The public benefit of the development is plentiful. A significant beautification of Broadway will occur with the addition of the project,” the proposal to the city states.

“Local residents along with their family and friends will have the opportunity to stay in a modern upscale hotel within Eureka during holidays, events and weddings occurring throughout the year.”

While the city redacted SJN’s projections on how much the take would be on an annual basis contained in documents provided to the Journal — deeming it “proprietary” information — a 2018 economic analysis looking at development options for the waterfront lots between C and F streets gives some indication of possible numbers.

The report looked at three scenarios that included the potential of a mid-to-upscale, 100-room hotel and estimated such a development would generate around $430,000 a year in TOT. Also addressed in the report was the impact a new hotel would have on existing establishments, a question raised at the May 7 meeting by Councilmember Leslie Castellano, who asked whether the development proposed for the former chamber site would “compromise established hotels.”

Holmlund replied that he didn’t “predict that this would be a problem” and that “occupancy is healthy, it’s good.”

When Councilmember Natalie Arroyo noted she had heard indications that the hotel would be more of a long-term stay option for travelling professionals, Holmlund said the developer is interested in that type of facility. This could impact the TOT revenue potential for the project, as the tax can only be levied for the first 30 days of a person’s hotel stay.

According to the waterfront economic analysis, SJN’s Holiday Inn Express & Suites was the first new hotel on the Eureka scene in 15 years and the addition of 100 rooms was absorbed without resulting in “a decline in overall occupancy or average room rates” at other similarly situated establishments.

Using data compiled by a lodging analytics firm, the report states that there are around 680 mid-to-upper-mid class hotel rooms in Eureka but notes that not all establishments were accounted for. Most of those missing from the count did not fit into the same classification, with many of the 400 or so other rooms in the city “in use as more permanent housing rather than being available for overnight lodging.”

The analysis also notes that another new mid-to-upper scale hotel — such as the one proposed for the Broadway property — would likely result in a similar situation, but any more than that could saturate the market, resulting in a negative impact.

“With only modest growth in area population and employment anticipated in the coming years, new hotel room demand would largely have to come from expanding the number of tourists attracted to the local area,” the report states. “It is likely that the level of tourism attraction that would be necessary to support 29 to 44 percent growth in local room demand would require a concerted long-term promotion effort.

“Given these factors, while there may be market potential for one upscale hotel in Eureka, this may be the limit to what can be supported by demand, at least in the near term,” it continues, going on to state that a “cautious approach would be to delay the development of more than one hotel, with further market evaluation after the first hotel has been in operation for a period of one or more years.”

The city is, in fact, looking at a new promotion effort — and a new promotor — after deciding in February to take the $370,000 allotted for marketing each year out to bid, ending its decades-long funding relationship with the Eureka-Humboldt Visitors Bureau.

Much like the chamber’s exit from serving

as the city’s outreach arm to tourists, for decades the bureau had provided marketing services for the city with an approach that focused heavily on the region’s redwood trees as a global draw.

“Staff proposes that Eureka deliberately and strategically shift its funding and destination marketing efforts toward a marketing strategy that concentrates specifically on Eureka while simultaneously expanding the target audience to include local/regional residents and the local business community,” a February staff report on the issue states.

“A primary mission of the city’s new strategy is to promote the city of Eureka not only as a desirable destination but also an amazing place to live.”

While the bureau submitted a proposal, it did not make the list of three finalists selected by staff to provide the city’s marketing services that was released last month, which included Eddy Alexander of Roanoke, Virginia, Humboldt Made of Eureka and MC2 Design Group, of Chico.

A final recommendation from a review panel, made up of “city staff and local business representatives,” is slated to go before the council May 21. l Kimberly Wear is the Journal’s assistant editor.

Lack of drinking water threatens Trinidad Rancheria hotel project

he planned 100-room Trinidad Rancheria hotel at Cher-Ae Heights Casino appears stalled at the state level because of an inability to come up with a definite source of drinking water for the facility.

Located on the bluffs of Scenic Drive, a mile south of city limits, the planned hotel is outside of Trinidad’s water service area, which is designated by the city’s General Plan. The city is in the process of studying its own limited water supply from Luffenholz Creek and does not yet know if there would be enough water to accommodate the hotel in addition to all present and future users within the existing service areas, especially during drought years.

Approval for the hotel is currently being considered by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) but it won’t move forward until it receives “concurrence” from the California Coastal Commission that the project will not violate the California Coastal Act, which requires that developments in the coastal zone have a definite source of drinking water.

California Coastal Commission staff has found other problems with the plans for the five-story building, as well, including incongruity with the pristine ocean views around Trinidad Head, possible issues with wastewater disposal and its location upon an unstable bluff top. Coastal Commission staff has recommended it object to the project.

Although the commission was initially scheduled to hear the project in April, the BIA — acting on behalf of the Trinidad Rancheria — requested it delay holding a public hearing on the project to allow the Rancheria to provide additional information. The Coastal Commission responded by re-scheduling the project hearing from April to June, when it will meet in San Diego.

At the May 7 meeting of the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors, Fifth District Supervisor Steve Madrone made a motion asking the board to write a letter to the BIA requesting that the Coastal Commission’s hearing on the hotel be further delayed to its August meeting in Eureka.

That would give locals the opportunity to attend the meeting and provide input on

the hotel plans without traveling 750 miles south.

“We’re not here today to discuss the project,” Madrone said. “We’re simply talking about a public process and asking that something so important be held locally.”

Three representatives of the Trinidad Rancheria then spoke, urging the board not to request any further delays.

“The tribe’s critical pathway to bring information before the Coastal Commission in June is crucial to the economic success of the project,” said Trinidad Rancheria CEO Jacque Hostler-Carmesin. “We cannot delay this project.”

David Tyson, interim CEO for the Trinidad Rancheria Economic Development Corporation, said the Rancheria had made a long-term effort to be transparent.

“It’s important that this project move forward,” he said. “Time kills deals and, in this case, time is money. The tribe is spending a great deal of its money in answering these questions and moving forward with the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Coastal Commission. It’s imperative that this be on the June meeting. Funding [for the project] is determined by that outcome.

Loan guarantees are determined by that outcome.”

Tribal member Shirley Laos said there had already been plenty of opportunities for public comment and she did not understand why the Rancheria should have to endure further delays.

Kent Sawatsky, who is not a tribal member, said that he wants the meeting to be held locally and that he could not attend a meeting that was hundreds of miles away.

“This is a major issue,” he said. “If it were held down there, only one or two people would go down there. But if it were held locally, 30 or 40 people might attend. We’re all entitled to public participation. This is just a two-month delay on a project that has been going for 12 years.”

He wondered if the Rancheria was “location shopping to have this meeting where we cannot participate.”

Madrone noted that when the project was publicized by the Rancheria several years ago, the plans were for a two-story hotel but have since evolved into a

Submitted

five-story hotel.

“I don’t know why one would not support a request to have the hearing locally and have the ability of the community to engage” he said. “We’re talking about a two-month delay when, in fact, over the past couple of months, the Rancheria themselves and the BIA have requested several delays when they submitted inadequate information for the project. ... The Coastal Commission staff was recommending denial of the project because of inadequate information, particularly about water, landslides, traffic and other impacts.”

Although Third District Supervisor Mike Wilson thought Madrone’s request was reasonable, the other three supervisors did not. Second District Supervisor Estelle Fennell expressed her support for the tribe’s concerns and her confidence that the Coastal Commission would examine all the evidence rigorously. Fourth District Supervisor Virginia Bass said she did not think it was appropriate for the board as a whole to request a delay but that Madrone, as an individual supervisor, was welcome to do so.

A long and increasingly heated argument ensued, with the words “disrespect,” “frustration,” and “blackmail” thrown around. At one point, Madrone asked if there is some reason his fellow supervisors “don’t want this project to be viewed by the community.” But after 15 minutes of discussion, he

rescinded his motion. (Madrone later told the Journal he sent the BIA a letter as an individual after the meeting.)

The following evening, on May 8, the Trinidad City Council heard a highly technical report from City Engineer Steve Allen on the capacity of the city’s water treatment plant. The study, however, shed little light on whether the city could serve the hotel with water. The report was limited to how many gallons of purified water per day the water treatment plant is capable of providing under current conditions.

The report noted that the treatment plant does produce enough water to supply the city’s current residents and even produces a surplus. However, Allen emphasized that there were many questions the study did not address, including how many additional customers the city could serve. Further studies are needed to answer these questions, he said.

Trinidad’s priorities for water usage are spelled out in its General Plan and its top priority is serving all customers, existing and future, within the boundaries of its water service area. The state’s recent passage of a law permitting a secondary dwelling unit on most parcels could add considerable density to the town’s popu-

lation. The city planner is currently working on a study to analyze the water demand that could result from the potential buildout.

In addition, state law requires that a certain amount of water be left in the stream to serve fish and wildlife. This means that in a drought year, the city might have to cut back on supplying water to existing residents to meet these flow requirements.

Moreover, other landholders with properties outside city limits but that adjoin Luffenholz Creek already hold riparian rights on the creek’s water, and these potential appropriations must be honored as well — if there is enough water to do so. Fourth on the priority list are existing visitor-serving facilities along Patrick Point Drive, a mandate created by regulations of the California Coastal Commission.

According to the report, “There is no known documentation indicating that the creek flow has previously decreased to the point that the city’s intake rate needed to be reduced. However, periods of drought, long-term changes in the climate and increased extractions in the upstream watershed could result in restrictions in the future. It is important for the city to remain mindful of these future potential changes in creek flow and not over commit

the water supply, which could become restricted due to low flow in the creek at some point.” The report aroused a lot of comment, both from the audience and council members. Several were quick to point out that simply having a surplus was meaningless without knowing how much of the surplus was likely to be needed in the future. Eventually, the council agreed that more studies are needed before making any kind of decision about future commitments of the town’s water supply. l Editor’s note: In the interest of full disclosure, Elaine Weinreb, who reported and wrote this piece, addressed the Trinidad City Council and wrote a letter to the Bureau of Indian Affairs in 2017 alerting both to the fact that while Environmental Assessment quantified the economic impact the proposed change would have on the county of Humboldt, it offered no such analysis on the impacts to Trinidad, an incorporated city. In both instances, she did not advocate for or against the proposal but argued the Environmental Assessment should accurately address the project’s potential impacts.

Week in Weed

Fleeced by Phylos?

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

A

bout two years ago, we wrote in these pages about the looming battle over cannabis genetics and the effort of deep-pocketed companies to register utility patents — the strongest intellectual-property protection available for field crops in the United States, one that essentially treats them like works of art — for cannabis (“Who Owns Your Pot?” Aug. 31, 2017). And we noted there was an effort to push back, led in part by a Portland scientist by the name of Mowgli Holmes, who created a system that allowed growers to register their strain genetics into the public domain.

“But farmers are suspicious,” we wrote, “fearing Holmes intends to steal the genetics for himself.”

To some, those words — and the underlying fears — now seem prophetic.

The cannabis industry was rocked a couple of weeks ago by news that Phylos Bioscience, Holmes’ Portland-based cannabis testing company, is launching an in-house breeding program. After the announcement, a video began circulating of Holmes pitching a room full of potential investors at the Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference, telling them that the vast amount of genetic data his company has collected makes it uniquely suited to breed “optimized plants” that are resistant to molds and mildew or primed to grow in a certain climate or region.

What’s rubbing farmers the wrong way is that Holmes pitched Phylos’ services as a way for farmers to get their unique strains genetically tested to protect against predatory patenting, even giving them the option of registering them in the public domain, which would leave them open to use by anyone.

Phylos billed its testing service, in part, as a way to fight the proverbial Monsantos circling around the cannabis industry, launching the Open Cannabis Project, a now independent entity that announced last week that it will be closing by the end of the month amid the fallout from Phylos’ announcement.

“Our story has been a key part of shaping their public image as altruistic and science-loving protectors of the cultivation community,” the project’s eight-member board wrote in an open letter announcing the move. “OCP started as a project of Phylos to ‘protect’ heirloom varieties from overbroad patents as cannabis transitions into a legal market.”

The fact that Phylos, which has spent years mapping cannabis genetics and doing

other testing for farmers, is getting into the breeding game opened the flood gates of worry and speculation in the industry.

“The concern that a lot of people are advancing [on Instagram] is that they mistakenly think that their genetics have been stolen and that’s not what is going on. I think it’s worse,” Michael Backes, author of Cannabis Pharmacy: The Practical Guide to Medical Marijuana, told www.futurecannabisproject. com. “They’ve basically charged people to genetically fingerprint their cultivars, and they’re mining that data to find markers to form the basis of a breeding program so that they can compete against the people who paid them to sequence their genetics. It’s like a leech operating a blood bank. … It’s as if 23andMe got into the designer baby business.”

Further infuriating some in the industry is that while thousands of farmers submitted samples to Phylos with the idea that the genetic sequencing would enter the public domain for all to see, thousands of others opted not to go public with theirs, trusting the company as a custodian of their proprietary data. It now appears Holmes and Phylos intend to use that data for their own gain in a scheme Backes likened to “surveillance capitalism.” To Backes’ point, Phylos reportedly doesn’t have the live tissue samples it would need to recreate specific strains. But what it does have is a database of thousands of genetic sequences that it can use to identify which markers cause specific traits.

But some in the industry aren’t too freaked out by the prospect of Phylos getting into breeding. Nat Pennington, the CEO of Humboldt Seed Co. and a board member for the Open Cannabis Project, was sharply critical of the way Phylos has conducted itself but he was also fairly quick to discount the threat.

From watching Holmes’ presentation, Pennington said it’s clear he’s focusing on breeding for mass consumption, honing in on the genetic markers that will make a fast-growing, mildew and drought resistant strain.

“It’s like the Early Girl Tomato — unbelievably easy to grow, disease resistant but it doesn’t taste like a tomato,” he said. “A lot of what (Holmes) is saying to these investors speaks to that tomato, not the one at the farmers market.”

Humboldt County’s future, Pennington said, is and always has been in growing the best unique and high-quality cannabis in the world. He doesn’t expect anything Phylos does to change or threaten that. l

Coastal Commission Looks to Delay Safety Corridor Hearing

T

he California Coastal Commission requested May 9 that its staff shelve plans to hold a June hearing on Caltrans’ proposed plans to overhaul the Safety Corridor on U.S. Highway 101 between Eureka and Arcata and, instead, to agendize the hearing for the commission’s August meeting in Eureka.

“To staff, without a doubt, this project is incredibly important if anyone has ever been in that neighborhood,” Commissioner Donne Brownsey said. “That is just the lifeblood of moving around in those communities. … If there is not meaningful community consultation, it is just going to be a terrible situation.”

Shortly after the vote, Caltrans issued a brief statement indicating it hopes the two-month delay in getting the project before the commission won’t impact the agency’s construction timeline.

“If the Commission were to delay their meeting on this subject until August the goal of beginning construction by summer 2020 is likely still reachable but it will certainly cut things close,” reads the statement.

The commission’s vote to recommend staff postpone the hearing came after it received a number of letters from North Coast individuals and organizations requesting the move. Surfrider Foundation California Policy Manager Jennifer Savage also addressed the commission during its public comment period.

Savage said the project — which seeks to spend roughly $35 million to build a new interchange at Indianola Road, replace the Jacoby Creek Bridge, add a stoplight at Airport Road and close all other medians on the roughly 7-mile stretch of highway

— is complex and decades in the making.

“Our community really deserves a chance to weigh in,” Savage said, before charging that Caltrans’ plans have so far failed to analyze the impacts construction will cause to alternate routes, like Old Arcata Road and State Route 255 through the Samoa Peninsula.

Savage also criticized the project’s review for not addressing projected sea level rise, and charged that Caltrans’ public engagement efforts have been inadequate.

CCC North Coast District Manager Bob Merrill told the commission that staff has repeatedly expressed its “strong preference” that the issue be heard in August in Eureka, but that Caltrans is concerned that holding the hearing after the June 30 close of the fiscal year could jeopardize funding allocated for the project. But even aside from concerns about making sure North Coast residents have the opportunity to offer public testimony without travelling 750 miles to San Diego, Merrill said the project was not on track to be heard next month.

“Frankly, at this point, it’s very doubtful the project will be really ready for consideration at the June meeting,” Merrill said, adding that Caltrans’ application is still missing “key” information, including a “viable mitigation plan.”

One of the commissioners asked if this project has been in planning for more than a decade, why it’s seemingly being rushed to a hearing. Caltrans Division of Environmental Analysis Assistant Division Chief Jeremy Ketchum said the agency has been conducting outreach efforts dating back to 2001.

“There hasn’t been a lack of engagement,” he said flatly, adding that the agen-

fter a long hike in England’s Dartmoor National Park, Jeff Black and his wife stopped at Wayside Cafe.

As they were sitting, drinking tea, they noticed scores of people coming in and out to take selfies with an otter sculpture.

Out of curiosity, they approached the sculpture and learned there were 99 others scattered throughout England as part of a scavenger hunt to promote the park’s Moor Otters Art Initiative. The 3-foot sculpture was painted bright green with pink and blue flowers and wetland plants covering most of its body. Black was in awe.

“It captured my interest; it was like the otter’s head was emerging from the plants,” he said. “It was elegant and charismatic, standing on its hind legs, proud.”

Black and his wife joined the hunt and spent the next week searching for otter sculptures around Dartmoor National Park.

They ultimately found 30 and submitted their check-list brochure to be entered in a raffle. But others, Black said, had taken the hunt even further, finding all 100.

Black, a Humboldt State University wildlife professor who has overseen the River Otter Citizen Science Project since 1999, had just published the project’s first 17 years of data in a scientific journal.

“Very few people look at those things,” he said jokingly, adding that while in England he had a revelation to bring a similar project to five counties across the North Coast with the aim of raising awareness of — and funds for — his otter project.

“I was in reflection mode when I was on vacation in England, thinking, ‘After 20 years [of the River Otter Citizen Science Project], how long am I going to continue this? Five years? Ten? Twenty? What am I going to do next?’ And while I was in reflection mode, I stumbled on the Dartmoor otter project,” Black said. “We [had participated in the scavenger hunt] for a week when I thought, ‘Right! That’s what I’ll do.’”

way to promote the River Otter Citizen Science Project, raise awareness about otters and their watersheds, and raise funds for monitoring and restoration efforts, Black took to telling people he’d had “an otter idea.” Now with the help of HSU, Black’s plan is hitting stride and the North Coast Otter Public Art Initiative will be in full swing, with education initiatives and cute otter art on display in businesses throughout the area.

Black is now looking for sponsors and hosts. Sponsors will finance an otter sculpture, paying about $750, with $150

going to the otter artist for supplies and materials. When all 100 otters are finished, they will each be placed in a business that will “host” it for the summer. Sponsors and hosts are different, Black stressed, explaining that sponsors will pay for the sculpture and stipend, and then, when the otter is finished, a small plaque with the sponsor’s name will be attached to the otter. Hosts, on the other hand, will pay $500 to have an otter sculpture placed in their business, which Black said will attract more foot traffic from those participating in the scavenger hunt. At the end of next summer, all the otters will be auctioned off. Host businesses will not keep the otters unless they buy them for the upfront price of $5,000 ­— the “adoption option,” which keeps their desired otters out of the auction catalog.

The 100 otter sculptures will be placed in businesses in Humboldt, Mendocino, Siskiyou, Del Norte and Trinity counties.

People will then be encouraged to track them all down as a part of a scavenger hunt that will award prizes to those who find the highest number of the colorful sculptures.

The Moor Otters Art Initiative saw all 100 of its sculptures auctioned off and Black purchased “Bunty,” his first choice of the 10 otter sculptures he was hoping to buy.

Bunty was the work of Maria Burns, a natural history illustrator based in England, who spent two weeks painting him and told Black she was excited her otter would be used to set up a California initiative. Bunty is blue with Cirl buntings — “a rare species of bird that were successfully brought back from the brink of extinction in Dartmoor,” according to Burns — covering his body.

“I was amazed to find out that my otter was travelling to California (and a little jealous of him!)” Burns wrote in an email to the Journal. “I was even more delighted when professor Jeff Black contacted me to let me know he was using my otter to set up a whole new arts initiative. It is a lovely feeling to feel that my work is

being used to inspire other artists and also raise awareness of Jeff’s important otter studies. I couldn’t have asked for a better home for him.”

Black now uses Bunty to promote and recruit sponsors and hosts for the initiative, toting him to city council meetings, coffee shops and the Arcata Wildlife Sanctuary. The initiative, Black said, is an environmental education outreach program that includes an elementary school component and will teach the community about clean water and healthy habitats “where we live and play.”

Black showed Bunty off to the Eureka City Council on March 19, asking the city to sponsor and host 10 otters. Rob Holmlund, the city’s director of development services, found enough funding for four but Black still hopes he can inspire the council to find the money to sponsor the other six.

The city’s otters align with its Strategic Art Plan to promote and incentivize visiting Eureka, Holmlund said. The otters will be placed in Eureka’s Cultural Art District in Old Town — the Eureka Visitor Center will host one and city will hold a contest to place the other three in local businesses.

“The North Coast’s only art district should have a strong representation and concentration in the otter project,” Holmlund said.

Black’s effort to recruit sponsors

and hosts is off to a good start, he said, with organizations and businesses like the Arcata Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary, Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge, Los Bagels, Coast Central Credit Union, the McLean Foundation, 2nd Street Gallery in Crescent City and the Arcata Animal Hospital signing on to be sponsors, hosts or, in some cases, both. Arcata Animal Hospital is taking that a step further, pledging to sponsor, host and purchase an otter sculpture.

“I absolutely love otters,” said Joy Fox Beaudet, the hospital’s head veterinarian.

“They’re amazing little creatures that are fun to watch.”

One day, while Fox-Beaudet was sitting near a river by herself, she said a family of four otters came near her. She said she felt excited but scared to move and recalled it as the “most magical moment of my life so far.”

She read about Black’s initiative in the Times-Standard and immediately wanted to be a part of it. She attended one of Black’s presentations and spoke to him about participating. She said she is looking forward to hosting an otter that incorporates a wildlife phenomenon, jokingly adding that they need to be careful of placing

a life-like otter in the hospital’s office, as visiting animals might growl at it.

“I’m excited. This is a fun and exciting thing for people to be a part of and a great way for the hospital to be a part of the community,” Fox-Beaudet said.

For nearly 20 years, Black has run the River Otter Citizen Science Project out of HSU’s Wildlife Department. The project asks community members — citizen scientists — to record and submit basic information about otter sightings. Using that information, wildlife students and Black conduct more studies on river otters in the North Coast.

As an undergraduate at HSU, Alana Chin, formerly Alana Oldman, worked on a river otter study that was published in

2009. In an interview with the Journal, Chin, who now studies trees at the University of California at Davis, said it was her first independent research experience.

She and Black had wanted to learn how river otters on the North Coast use latrines (areas where otters urinate and defecate). They posed the question: “Do river otters use latrines as a form of official communication or for territorial purposes?” What they found was that (at least on the North Coast) river otters aren’t territorial, as previously stated in other papers.

Chin and Black leaned heavily on the River Otter Citizen Science Project for their study, using it to determine the locations of latrines. They then took feces

from local and foreign latrines and put it in various locations on top of dispersed sand to identify territorial behavior, expecting to see the otters exhibiting marking behavior “just like a dog peeing on top of another dog’s urine,” Chin said. But instead, the otters smelled the feces and rolled around in it, using it as a form of communication.

Chin said the study wouldn’t have been possible without the citizen project sending in information about sightings, as she and Black wouldn’t have been able to gather the data on their own.

“It’s time-consuming,” Chin said. “[Using citizen scientists] changed the ability to

gather information.”

Black said the concept allows scientists to sift through big data sets without having to fund the effort to collect them.

“I try not to ask too much [from citizen scientists], just relevant information like location, what otters are doing and how many there are,” Black said.

Recently, Chin and Black worked on analyzing the behaviors of otters with the first 15 years of the River Otter Citizen Science Project data.

They both went through 3,880 entries by hand, gathering important information regarding behavior like group sizes in the presence of pups (baby otters) and how group size might affect the way otters forage for food. Chin and Black couldn’t have completed either study without the information gathered by volunteer citizen scientists, she added. According to Black, there have been roughly 6,000 entries in the project’s nearly 20-year span. Chin said she hopes the research paper will be published before the Otter Art Initiative next summer.

In addition to the value it brings to research, Chin said citizen science is also a great way to engage the public and teach the importance of clean water and habitats.

Alan Peterson, a photographer, videographer and volunteer otter spotter, said he started reporting sightings to Black’s project in 2016.

“I love spending time with otters and interacting with them,” said Peterson, who’s also working on a film about otters, which he hopes to release before the initiative takes off next summer. “They swim up to me and do their thing; I’ve had a dozen encounters.”

Seeing the way such projects can provide scientists with valuable data while also helping the public understand and appreciate nature, Chin said she has launched her own river otter citizen scientist project through American River College in Sacramento. It was inspired by Black, she said.

“It’s sort of my hobby,” she said.

wonder while attempting to describe how we interpret the world.

Libby Maynard of the Ink People Center for the Arts is working closely with Black, aiding in the search for local artists to participate in the initiative, which Maynard said will be part of Ink People’s North Coast Open Studios DreamMaker projects.

A call for artists will be sent out next month and artists will be asked to submit sketches of their proposed sculptures. Black emphasized that there are no content limitations and said he is also seeking Native artists who are connected to rivers and watersheds in the area.

Maynard said it’s a great opportunity.

“It combines art and science, and their creative process is the same, so it’s just natural for them to come together,” she said.

One local artist is already excited to be involved. Black approached Shawn Gould, a Humboldt County nature and wildlife painter who began illustrating science and natural history subjects 10 years ago for the National Geographic Society, Smithsonian Institute and National Audubon Society before deciding to focus exclusively on painting.

“I’m thrilled; it’s going to be a lot of fun,” Gould said. “I saw the otter sculpture from England. It looked great and I got excited to be a part of [the initiative].”

Gould is still brainstorming what he will paint on his otter sculpture — maybe birds or aquatic animals, but he hasn’t nailed it down yet. Painting a sculpture is new territory for Gould, as he so far has only painted flat surfaces.

“It’s going to be a process of discovery,” Gould said. “I’ve never painted a sculpture and especially of that size. It’s going to be a learning process, always.”

In addition to raising awareness and creating a lot of whimsical otter art, England’s Moor Otters Art Initiative raised a bunch of money. With the average winning auction bid for a sculpture coming in at $1,500 and all 100 otters sold, the project raised at least $150,000. Black said artists will decide if they want to take a 10 percent commission from their otter’s auction bid. Black hopes the local initiative raises the same amount or more. Black specifically wants to devote some of the funds back to the watersheds in the form of internships for HSU students and would

Otters seen from the Trinidad pier. Mark Larson also like to support watershed projects from nonprofit organizations, like the Mad River Alliance.

Black is also looking to combine the Otter Art Initiative with Eco Day in the spring of 2020, tapping initiative leaders to raise awareness by going to local elementary schools to talk about otters and make otter art. The initiative will also create a junior ranger program during the summer, where kids will be able to pick up Otter Art Initiative activity books from areas like the Arcata Marsh Sanctuary or the Humboldt Bay Nature and Wildlife Refuge,

complete them and return them for an official Otter Spotter badge.

Black is invigorated, excited about the merging of science and art, saying he wants to keep the River Otter Citizen Science Project going for as long as possible.

Table Talk

The List

The quest to eat at (almost) every restaurant in Humboldt

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

K

en Burton and Cindy Moyer are on a mission. Again. For the second time, they are making their way through an alphabetical list of restaurants in Humboldt County — the Journal’s online A-Z Restaurant Guide, in fact — and eating at every single one within an hour’s drive.

Yes, in alphabetical order. The first time it took around seven years. Right now they’re deep in the Ls and taking a break while Burton is out of town.

The reaction they get when they tell people about their quest is typically, they say, either that it sounds like a great idea or they’re nuts. Mostly a bit of both.

The rules are simple but draconian in their way. The friends get together weekly, barring trips out of town, and, starting with the AA Bar and Grill, alternate responsibility for arranging a visit to each restaurant. Only the person planning the trip knows where they’re going (which requires careful scrolling) and, unless a shop is closed, there’s no skipping. Even if they aren’t in the mood for Thai that day.

Not even if they know a particular café is objectively awful. Despite the geographic limitations that unfortunately eliminate much of Southern Humboldt, Burton admits sometimes the food is not worth the trip. For him, it’s no big deal.

“I mean, it’s a meal, it’s not going to kill us,” says Burton. “And I like to give places a second chance. And a third chance and fourth chance if we live long enough.”

It was Moyer’s idea to not hit every outpost of a given fast food chain, despite Burton’s protest that each Subway, for example, is a little different. “One will be sufficient,” she says.

Burton, who has written outdoor and other articles for the Journal, is an ornithologist and, unsurprisingly, an avid birder.

Over the phone from Roseburg, Oregon, he explains his current project, a study for Oregon State University, documenting creatures and plants at sites affected by logging and wildfire. “Biological field work

inevitably involves documenting what’s out there,” he says, adding that it does make him consider his proclivity toward cataloguing and “if our restaurant game somehow fits into my overall nature.”

Asked about the possible connection to his hobby, Burton says with some amusement, “I’ve always been a list maker and a list keeper. ... Birding lends itself to the list-keeping personality. Eating out based on a list that somebody else created fits pretty well into that mindset, too.”

“Ken’s crazy alphabetical eating … it’s a very Ken thing. ... He’s very systematic in many ways,” says Moyer, who adds that Burton’s alphabetical plowing through his Netflix queue throws off the streaming service’s algorithmic recommendations.

Moyer is the chair of Humboldt State University’s music department, teaching violin, viola and music theory. She speaks quickly and laughs often over the phone.

“I used to joke that his tombstone would say ‘We made it to M,’” she says with a chuckle. She knew Burton through music (he plays percussion) and birding, and the two were already going through a hiking book hike by hike when she got invited along on the first Humboldt restaurant journey “somewhere in the Bs.” (That was around 12 years ago, just before a married couple he was touring with fell off.) Back then they were eating their way through a hard copy of the Yellow Pages.

“I actually started this game with a girlfriend in Indiana a couple decades ago and we never got past the letter N,”

22 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, May 16, 2019 • northcoastjournal.com

says Burton, who had to move before completing the list. “I think it just comes back to my nature. For one thing I hate making decisions. I do a lot of things in life by coming up with a system that decides things for me. … We were in a relationship and it certainly saved a lot of time arguing about where to go.” Even on his own, Burton has explored local food scenes systematically in other places he’s lived, though in a smaller radius.

“I am about as far from a food snob as one can possibly be. I’m an opportunist and will eat just about anything,” says Burton, who thinks living in lots of places — Kenya, Indonesia and Canada among them — may have made him unfussy. “A lot of times I feel like eating is just taking time away from doing other things. And yet I’m doing this. I’m just a bundle of contradictions. What can I say?”

Moyer, on the other hand, cares about food and is “scheming with friends to get into French Laundry someday.” The draw for her is more about how the alphabetical approach takes her to places she wouldn’t have otherwise gone, offering the occasional surprise, like the Indian Tacos at Blue Lake Casino’s snack bar. She also echoed a sentiment Burton expressed: “It is a regular excuse to meet up with a friend, which is good.”

This time around, Moyer is documenting the journey on her Facebook page.

Each stop gets a snapshot by the establishment’s door or sign, and another with either Moyer or Burton at the table with

food. The photos are cheerful but perfunctory — there’s no posing, no flattering filters and nothing approaching food porn in sight. The captions are equally straightforward, with Moyer noting minimal details, like the surprise of a red chile verde, the chilly temperature of a dining room or that Burton said his mole was excellent.

It’s a far cry from the never-ending highlight reel of styled food and glamorous good times on Instagram, and the dramatic effusions and vitriol of Yelp.

The duo’s posts (visible only to friends) are almost radical in their tight-lipped mundanity.

In more than a dozen years eating around Humboldt, they’ve come to similarly modest conclusions: Overall, the food scene in the county is improving, though more expensive, with more mid-range options and a little more ethnic diversity.

Fortuna turns out to be a food scene to watch and La Patria Mariscos and Grill in Eureka is among their surprise favorites.

Neither of them remembers exactly what they ordered at most places but that’s not really the point.

“It’s fun,” says Moyer, “I wouldn’t be doing it if it wasn’t fun.” Even the bad meals?

She laughs. “Well, when you decide to do everything, you do everything.” l Jennifer Fumiko Cahill is the arts and features editor at the Journal. Reach her at 442-1400, extension 320, or jennifer@northcoastjournal.com. Follow her on Twitter @JFumikoCahill.

Setlist

Cap and Gown and Getting Down Build to edge of the document Margins are just a safe area

By Collin Yeo

I

music@northcoastjournal.com t’s time for the big walk this weekend and no, I’m not talking about the trip into the Pacific Ocean that I’ve got booked for sometime in the next 40 years in lieu of a functioning retirement plan because the world is dying and the previous generations have destroyed the notion of upward economic mobility.

I am talking instead about a much more optimistic and beautiful walk, specifically the one which ends with a freshly minted college graduate and a diploma. My roommate is consummating his first major education achievement this Saturday at the Redwood Bowl — congratulations, Shea! — and we are throwing a big deck BBBQ at my house in celebration. (As a nod to The Simpsons, the extra B in BBBQ is for BYOB because we are a household of students and working class proles, after all.) Anyway, congratulations to all of the graduates and their families. What follows in this column are some very good suggestions on how to celebrate your new spawning into adulthood. Gift of Gab from Blackalicious is in town! How swell is that? We also have indie heroes, electronic space invaders, psychedelic warlocks and war-ladies, and a fine trio on Sub Pop records called Moaning to help bring us into the quiet salad days of summer.

So please disregard my moaning, it’s mostly gallows humor, and instead focus on my literary hero Bertie Wooster’s favorite Robert Browning poem, “Pippa’s Song”: The year’s at the spring, And day’s at the morn; Morning’s at seven; The hill-side’s dew-pearl’d; The Lark’s on the wing; The snail’s on the thorn; God’s in His heaven — All’s right with the world!

Have a nice week.

Thursday It’s that time of year when the students graduate and the streets and motels become briefly congested. It’s also the time of year when you can enjoy free senior recitals from the talented music department at Humboldt State University. Tonight at 8 p.m. Fulkerson Hall will host the recital of Eric Tolfa, a talented young man who will be performing original pieces as well as pieces from other artists from around the world. The instruments involved include marimba, bass clarinet and trumpet and the first movement of Mr. Tolfa’s original duet for flute and piano, “Into The Void,” is featured in the program.

Friday

Gift of Gab is the lyrical half of talented Sacramento hip hop duo Blackalicious.

Tonight he is appearing in a locals-heavy show at the Jam at 9 p.m. ($20, $15 advance). I’ve seen Blackalicious a few times in Humboldt and have always walked away with a high opinion. One needs only to look up the now-viral track “Alphabet Aerobics” to see what I am talking about.

Included in tonight’s lineup is Little Kid Lost with B. Swizlo, Hiway, DJ Just One, Nac One and my homie Big Jay, aka DJ Goldylocks. Live art will be provided

by Julia Finkelstein and there will a free all-ages meet and greet with the headliner at the Fatbol Store at 6 p.m.

Saturday

Barbara Manning was a mainstay of the West Coast lo-fi indie rock scene in the ’80s and ’90s, having released many albums during that time on labels of note like Matador, K Records and Teenbeat.

Her now-defunct bands World of Pooh and SF Seals paved the way for the sort of twee sports-referencing songs that later labelmates Belle and Sebastian would take to the bank many times over. Tonight she is playing Siren’s Song at 9 p.m., appearing on a perfect bill made of bands who have followed in the wake of her considerable musical influence. Those groups are Blood Hunny and Monster Women, two formidable champions in the lineage of local indie songsters ($5).

Sunday

Moaning is a trio from Los Angeles that traffics in the kind of post-punk urgency that made Placebo and Interpol household names two decades ago. And even though that aesthetic often presents itself with the brutalist architecture of terminally serious band photos — thank you Ian Curtis and the rest of Joy Division — I am a complete and total sucker for the form. The band’s music totally blasts too, so tonight’s 7 p.m. show at the Outer Space should be a special one ($7-$20 sliding scale). Local dreamweavers mister moonbeam and Spirit Notes should provide plenty of pineal provender for all assembled lovers and dreamers.

Monday

The always fantastic Opossum Sun Trail celebrates its return from a minitour — tour-ette? — with a hometown CD release party for its newest offering,

Strontium Highway, at the Miniplex tonight at 9 p.m. ($5). Come join my pal Dieter and co. and score a record or a cactus skull from the merch table during a night of utter lone range-trippin’ fun. Along for this stardust-y ride is the superb sound machine known as D3D and globe hoppin’ local journeymen cosmonauts White Manna. Don’t be shy, get in the mix.

Tuesday

I caught Tristan Norton gigging with Lovebush last Friday and I can say that the man can really play guitar masterfully and with taste. Catch him tonight at a solo cover-free gig at the Creamery Building at 6 p.m. to hear him work through a repertoire of blues, folk, jazz and various American tunes.

Wednesday It’s Whomp Whomp Wednesday at the Jam again tonight at 9:30 p.m. ($10).

Come enjoy an evening dedicated to the deepest of grooves possible in the bassheavy world of electronic dance music.

Tonight’s celebrants are Hullabalo0, Masta Shredda, Pägån and OrangeKhemist.

If a club-sized dose of bespoke electric pandemonium is attractive to you, come and get some.

The Outer Space hosts an interesting Pacific Northwest hybrid punk show tonight at 7 p.m. Memory Boys are from Langley, Washington, and play minor-key punk songs fitting for the often gloomy rainscape of Whidbey Island. WEEED is a quintet from Portland, Oregon, that specializes in experimental sound jams played on all sorts of instruments, from strings to synths to flutes. Imagine Nirvana but instead of the grunge band, the actual state of nirvana.

Opening the evening will be local digital/analog mutants CV and, like most Space shows these days, admission is a sliding scale of $7-$20. Come and get it. l

Queen Up

Photo by Mark McKenna

Reigning over the Kinetic Grand Championship Race is some serious business.

And this year is some really big business as it’s the 50th anniversary of the whole dang thing. Thankfully, there’s a fitting vetting each year to determine who’s right to rule (settle down, Cersei), presented by the Kinetic Universe.

The Rutabaga Ball 2019, the Kinetic Grand Championship’s crowned counterpart, takes place this Saturday, May 18 at 7 p.m. at Bayside Community Hall ($15 or $12 if you bring your own reusable cup). The three-round pageant (representing the three days of the kinetic race) determines who will be the new Rutabaga Queen — the queen bee of the ball and the royalty that reigns over the 2019 Kinetic Grand Championship Race. There’s no age or gender requirement to run — the only rule to rule is that fun is the law of the land and must be enforced. And bribery gets you everywhere. Past and forever queens do the judging (girl, we know) as contestants compete in a Ball Gown Round, a “Water-Crossing” Round (inside the hall) and a Talent Round. Contestants vying for the glorious title include Mystical Wildflower Protector of the Lost Coast, Betty Crafter and Deer to Heart Kinetic Glory. Guests can get down to the funky, soulful tunes of Claire Bent and Citizen Funk, and snack on tasty treats and libations at the Queens’ Bar sponsored by Lost Coast Brewery.

Reign on, queens.

Hats Off

Photo by Mark Larson

Oh, the pomp. Oh, the circumstance. The kids have done it again. Another year comes to a close and with it, hundreds of freshly inspired minds leave the halls and hallowed grounds of higher education, setting off to make their mark on the world. Our two bastions of higher ed send off their classes of 2019 with handshakes, photo snaps and scarce dry eyes at their respective ceremonies.

“Down South” at College of the Redwoods, the 2019 Commencement takes place Saturday, May 18 starting at 11 a.m. in the College of the Redwoods Gymnasium. The 2019 RN Graduates Pinning Ceremony takes place in the gym later that day at 2 p.m.

Humboldt State University salutes its graduating class on Saturday as well with the HSU 2019 Commencement starting at Redwood Bowl at 8:30 a.m., with the College of Arts Humanities and Social Sciences. Then at noon, the College of Natural Resources and Sciences graduates walk, and at 3 p.m., it’s the College of Professional Studies. Bring a hat or umbrella because it’s raining caps at the very least.

Rain or shine, all weekend long, there’s a party for the grads and their families on the Arcata Plaza — now with extra dance space. The HSU Graduation Weekend Celebration goes from 4 to 8 p.m. on Friday, May 17 and all day Saturday, May 18, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. with bands, entertainment, fun activities for the fam and the farmers market on Saturday.

Pouring it On The Hustle and Wine Country

By John J. Bennett

filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

THE HUSTLE. Just as, after two consecutive days of memory-redacting sunshine, the coastal fog must re-mount its sullen siege, so, too, returns the torpor of the average, mainstream American movie comedy in the wake of one that is timely, pointed and actually funny.

I don’t usually like to let the movies I’ve seen in recent weeks cast a shadow over current offerings but in the case of Long Shot I can’t help it, nor do I care to. Flatlined as the excitement level of cinema-at-large has become, there are frequent enough surprises to keep me coming back. But Hollywood’s ongoing crisis of imagination has impacted comedy more deeply than perhaps any other genre. Because comedy requires sustained inspiration and energy from the germ of the idea to the final edit, it is deceptively difficult to do well. And so, more often than not it is either done rather poorly or not at all; this is the new normal. Long Shot almost made me forget that — The Hustle will not let me.

The Hustle is set up as a gender-role reversing remake of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (1988), for which I hold some fond memories but do not consider canonical.

(I wonder how many in the audience will have even seen it.) We’re first introduced to Penny (Rebel Wilson), an Australian ex-pat pulling inventive but simplistic dating-app scams in America. She gets a wild hair to fly to France, though, where she crosses paths with Josephine Chesterfield (Anne Hathaway), a grifter of a very different stripe but a grifter nonetheless. Penny forcefully inserts herself into Josephine’s coolly mannered existence, ostensibly to study at the feet of the master. Together, through a series of hackneyed scenarios, they manage to separate some arch stereotypes from a significant amount of jewelry. Then they fall to in-fighting and decide to select a mark and see who can first unburden him of half a million dollars.

Pacing is a problem here (well, it’s really almost all problems) — the narrative moves

Counting on white women to come through at the polls in 2020.

Wine Country

from telegraphed set-up to unsatisfying punchline over and over again, so that it plays more like a series of backfiring sketches than a continuous story. There are occasional attempts to visually elevate the material but they just stand out all the more against the planar dullness of the whole thing. (It’s set in a sparkling town in the Côte d’Azur and manages to suck the charm out of even that most charming of locales.) And what should be a playful duel of foils (Wilson and Hathaway certainly each have the chops to pull that off) becomes a predictable hash of slapstick tumbles and scatological asides against the ersatz sophistication of the evening gown set (no prize for guessing who manages each part).

The Hustle is generally unfunny. It fails on a number of technical and structural levels, and it underserves its capable, likable stars. More troubling, though, is that in its ostensible feminist re-imagining of this story, it only reinforces old-fashioned gendered norms. The protagonists, powerful women using their wits to level the playing field, are brought to their knees by a puppy-dog tech wiz (Alex Sharp), whose act has one of them falling in love and the other nearly snarling in a slinky silk nightgown. It’s problematic and perhaps unintentionally so, which creates its own set issues and highlights the shortcomings of The Hustle as a whole. Insufficient attention was paid throughout, resulting in a movie that actively works against its own potential. PG13. 94M. BROADWAY, FORTUNA, MILL CREEK. WINE COUNTRY. In brief: Amy Poehler directs a script by Liz Cackowski and Emily Spivey (both of whom boast sterling comedy writing CVs) and the thing stars Poehler, Rachel Dratch, Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer, Paula Pell and Spivey, with Tina Fey and Jason Schwartzman in supporting roles. I thought the same thing you (hopefully) are:

How could this miss?! Well, let me tell you.

Perhaps I shouldn’t have expected a movie created by and starring a whole crew of comedic geniuses to be funny. But I did, and was a little disappointed. Because Wine Country is less about the jokes than it is about the feelings, and in that focus it loses sight of both.

There are some mid-sized laughs and a few salient insights, but the movie attempts to be both an ensemble comedy and an intimate examination of the lives of women of a certain age. While admirable in intent, the execution doesn’t serve either thematic thread fully. The story demands that we feel invested in the characters and, while the cast do fine work with them, there isn’t enough time or space in the narrative for them to really live on screen. Instead of character arcs, we get a series of moments in time that, while certainly helping to illuminate the lives of which they are a part, often feel more distancing than connective.

Admittedly, Wine Country isn’t really meant for me but I wanted to love it and am instead left with an after-effect of inessential pleasantness. R. 103M. NETFLIX. — John J.

osmology is essentially a whodunnit but, unlike your typical 600-page detective yarn, this story doesn’t unfold clue by clue until the denouement in last few pages.

The puzzle — basically, “How the hell can we explain our presence here?” — is more cryptic than ever. For all the thousands of brilliant minds working on the problem and despite deep-space observations and investigations into the tiniest atomic particles, we’re stuck.

Notwithstanding all that science has revealed to us in the last 200-odd years, we’re still essentially blind, deaf and a mystery unto ourselves. By rights, we shouldn’t be here.

Three models of the universe are victims of their own success: • Einstein’s 1915 General Theory of Relativity (“mass tells space-time how to curve and space-time tells mass how to move”) gives us gravity. It has passed every test (hundreds!) with flying colors.

• The Standard Model of particle physics is based on quantum field theory, which took 40 years to assemble starting in the 1960s; it’s been tested to better than 10 parts in a billion. Finding the Higgs boson in 2013 only confirmed what we already knew.

• The 100-year-old Big Bang scenario — we live in an evolving, expanding universe that began in an incredibly hot and dense state nearly 14 billion years ago — fits all our observations.

Three self-consistent models, tested down to the finest details … except they’re mutually inconsistent. Nothing works to bring them into agreement. We need a bigger picture, a “Eureka moment,” to get us out of the doldrums in which we’ve been drifting for the past few decades. At this point, such a moment appears unlikely.

To illustrate the extent of our ignorance, take the most obvious example: time.

You’ll agree, I think, that past and future are different in every way — that is, time has an “arrow.” Cosmologists explain this by saying that the past is low entropy, an “unnatural”

ordered state (imagine all the air molecules in a room clustered into a small, dense ball); the future is high entropy: disorderly (as with air molecules spread randomly throughout the room). We’re now 14 billion years into randomness (fortunately, we live close to a low-entropy star that keeps us organized).

Eventually, all the ordered bits of the universe will mush into a high-entropy featureless emptiness. The arrow of time, then, derives from the extremely low entropy state that the universe was in 14 billion years ago. The problem in trying to reconcile this with the Standard Model is that the laws of physics are indifferent for past and future. And — the crux of the whodunnit — nothing in the three models I outlined above explains how our ordered low-entropy early universe came about in the first place.

Hence all the current wild speculation about multiuniverses (ours is one of an infinite number of universes); many worlds (all possible alternate histories and futures are real); the anthropic principle (we’re here, living in this life-friendly universe because we’re here); simulations (we’re self-aware bots created by a bored teenager on an iPhone 1000); Boltzmann brains (your self-awareness is a statistical fluke due to random fluctuations, nothing to do with evolution); multidimensionality (unseen dimensions exist beyond the four walls of our spacetime); etc. At this point, we have no way of checking such crazy ideas and perhaps never will.

In the past we always had some sense which way to turn, where to find answers — or at least how to look for anomalies in our present theories. Today, that doesn’t seem to be the case. We have three beautiful and elegant models, each spectacularly successful, but with no clue how we might reconcile them. Welcome to stuck. l Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo.com) can’t get over the fact that the 3-pound lumps of jelly we call “brains” can even conceive of this stuff.

NOTICE OF PROPERTY TAX DELINQUENCY AND IMPENDING DEFAULT Revenue and Taxation Code Section 3351, 3352 I, John Bartholomew, Humboldt County Tax Collector, State of California, certify as follows: That at close of business on June 30, 2019 by operation of law, any real property (unless previously tax-defaulted and not redeemed) that have any delinquent taxes, assessments, or other charges levied for the fiscal year 2018-19, and/or any delinquent supplemental taxes levied prior to the fiscal year 2018-19 shall be declared tax-defaulted.

That unless the tax defaulted property is completely redeemed through payment of all unpaid amounts, together with penalties and fees prescribed by law or an installment plan is initiated and maintained; the property may be sold subsequently at a tax sale to satisfy the tax lien.

That a detailed list of all properties remaining tax-defaulted at the close of business on June 30, 2019, and not redeemed prior to being submitted for publication, shall be published on or before September 8, 2019 That information concerning redemption or the initiation of an installment plan of redemption of tax-defaulted property will be furnished, upon request,

by John Bartholomew, Humboldt County Tax Collector at 825 5th Street, Room 125, Eureka, California 95501 (707)476-2450.

I certify or (declare), under penalty of perjury, that the foregoing is true and correct.

John Bartholomew Humboldt County Tax Collector Executed at Eureka, Humboldt County, California, on May 13th, 2019. Published in the North Coast Journal on May 16th, May 23rd, & May 30th, 2019.

NOTICE OF IMPENDING POWER TO SELL TAX-DEFAULTED PROPERTY Revenue and Taxation Code Section 3361, 3362 Pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code 3691 and 3692.4, the following conditions will, by operation of law, subject real property to the Tax Collector’s power to sell.

1) All property for which property taxes and assessments have been in default for five or more years.

Note: The power to sell schedule for nonresidential commercial property is three or more years of tax-defaulted status, unless the county adopts, by ordinance or resolution, the five-year tax default schedule.

2) All property that has a nuisance abatement lien recorded against it and for which property taxes and assessments have been in default for three or more years.

3) Any property that has been identified and requested for purchase by a city, county, city and county or nonprofit organization to serve the public benefit by providing housing or services directly related to low-income persons and for which property taxes and assessments have been in default for three or more years.

The parcels listed herein meet one or more of the criteria listed above and thus, will become subject to the Tax Collector’s power to sell on July 1, 2019, at 12:01 a.m., by operation of law. The Tax Collector’s power to sell will arise unless the property is either redeemed or made subject to an installment plan of redemption initiated as provided by law prior to close of business on the last business day in June. The right to an installment plan terminates on the last business day in June, and after that date the entire balance due must be paid in full to prevent sale of the property at public auction.

The right of redemption survives the property becoming subject to the power to sell, but it terminates at close of business on the last business day prior to the date of the sale by the Tax Collector.

All information concerning redemption or the initiation of an installment plan of redemption will be furnished, upon request, by John Bartholomew, Humboldt County Tax Collector, 825 5th Street, Room 125, Eureka, CA 95501, (707)476-2450.

The amount to redeem, including all penalties and fees, as of June 2019, is shown opposite the assessment/parcel number and next to the name of the assessee.

The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on June 6, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. at the Superior Court of California, County of Humboldt, 825 Fifth Street, Eureka, in Dept.: 6.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in Cali− fornia law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court.
