JIMMY SMITH 1948 – 2016

Congratulations from Murphy’s Blue Lake Elementary is a K-8 grade school with approximately 180 kids, nestled in sunny Blue Lake. This small school with nine teachers stays very busy, especially with the recent changes taking place.

There are major staffing changes taking place in the upcoming school year and the folks at Blue Lake Elementary are excited to share them with the community. One of the key changes to the school is the leaving of Superintendent/ Principal Paula Wyant. After eight years at Blue Lake, she will take over as the principal of Hoopa Elementary. Resource specialist teacher DeAnn Waldvogel will be

the new Superintendent/Principal of BLS. “I am excited to continue what has been going on at the school and look forward to the future,” explains DeAnn. Also, after 30 years of teaching, Terry Bean Iverson will be retiring at the end of the school year. “I have had a wonderful time here at Blue Lake. I would like to thank the community of Blue Lake and all the teachers, parents and students over the years,” explains Terry.

Patty Ohman is retiring from leading the afterschool ASES program after 13 years. “We have a great program that serves

hat are you doing Saturday, June 4? There’s an event that morning in Eureka and I hope you’ll stop by.

Yes, I know you’re busy. Just to see how busy, I checked the Journal’s online calendar and there are at least 58 other ways to spend that particular day. It’s the first Saturday in June and the weather will likely be terrific. There’s the Arcata Farmers Market, Arts Alive in Eureka, the Summer Arts and Music Festival in Benbow, Pony Express Days in McKinleyville, a pet parade in Ferndale, North Coast Dance’s Spring Concert, a cello festival at HSU, and CASA’s 25th anniversary party at the Eureka Theater (congrats!). Wow. Add to that live music and all the things not in the Journal’s Calendar — like your kid’s soccer game, Jewell Distillery’s opening in Blue Lake or the sands of College Cove.

In Fieldbrook, we have a once-a-month neighborhood potluck that just happens to be this Saturday and it’s our turn to host. But before we light the barbecue, I’m heading over to the Wharfinger Building for the Trails Summit.

For those of you like me who keep asking what’s happening on the Bay Trail between Eureka and Arcata — and will it happen in our lifetime — this event will be a status report. Doors will open at 9:30 a.m. for a meet-and-greet, but don’t miss the short presentations at 10 a.m. The

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

county will go first, providing an update on all the pieces of the regional trail network system. Then staff from the cities of Arcata, Eureka and Fortuna will talk about progress, priorities and how the public can get involved. Even if you can’t make the formal presentation, there’ll be tables to visit until noon with agencies and organizations talking about completed trail projects and those still in development in a neighborhood near you. This is definitely a kid-friendly event, so bring them along.

It’s being billed as a “report back to the public,” a behind-the-scenes look at how we are moving from the vision of a countywide network of non-motorized, hike-and-bike trails to the real thing. One word of caution from Hank Seemann, Humboldt County’s deputy director of Public Works: “This is not about home runs. This is about hits and singles to advance the runners.”

My particular interest, since I semi-retired a few years back, has been the Humboldt Bay Trail. On a beautiful day like this Saturday will be, I can visualize a solid parade of people safely walking and biking between Arcata and Eureka to go out to breakfast, visit Old Town or the marsh, and shop at the farmers market.

The two largest population centers along the bay will finally be linked for humans not in cars. Some day.

success. Even though the Annie & Mary Trail to Arcata presents huge obstacles and a complete trail is far in the future, that doesn’t stop a dedicated group of trail advocates from showing the rest of us how to organize and get the job done.

I know a number of people who were raised in Humboldt, left for college and careers, then came home to raise their own families. One of them told me that after a 15-year detour to the Midwest, he was surprised at how far behind Humboldt County is in building trails compared to other regions of the country. There are many reasons why, of course, but consider just one: our challenging terrain. What makes this place so majestic — heavily forested mountains rising right out of the ocean upward to more than 2,000 feet — makes flat land hard to come by.

In addition, it’s a challenge to get everyone on the same page, from state and local agencies to local volunteer groups with sometimes-conflicting agendas.

I hope I don’t sound naïve, but I think there has been significant progress in the last few years. The North Coast Railroad Authority has signed an agreement with the city of Ukiah to share its right of way there. And its board is working closely with both Eureka and Arcata on trail projects within those cities’ limits. Then there’s Caltrans. While it’s easy to demonize big, bloated state agencies headquartered far away, Caltrans has a statewide

mandate for a “complete street” policy that embraces all forms of moving people from place to place. A few years back I was part of a small, concerted effort to get permission from the NCRA to share the rail corridor between Arcata and Eureka for the Bay Trail and I can tell you Caltrans District 1 employees were on board, doing everything they could to help. That support was also essential to the effort it took to get conditional approval from the California Coastal Commission to build the trail. Still ahead, we’ll need to get that approval from “conditional” to the real thing. It will be no small task.

If you go Saturday, you’ll learn about more the challenges ahead. Using $2 million in state funds, the county is ready to hire a consultant to do the technical work — engineering and environmental design — on the Bay Trail. Think about sensitive wetlands and steep narrow spaces near those eucalyptus trees in the Safety Corridor, and crossing the Eureka slough.

It will likely take two to three years to design and it won’t be easy. Finally, some day, it will take $9 million to $12 million to construct 7 miles of trail to link Eureka with Arcata’s effort to reach just north of Bracut. And we’ll still need a fund to manage and maintain all of Humboldt’s trails, along with the volunteer trail stewards from the Humboldt Trails Council.

Come and learn how you can get involved. Hope to see you Saturday. l

Thank a Defender Editor: Thank you for your article “The Defender,” May 19. We are fortunate to have such dedicated attorneys, investigators and support staff at the Public Defender’s Office. Without their hard work our constitutional rights would be meaningless. It is unfortunate that each defender must carry a caseload far beyond that recommended by the American Bar Association.

Perhaps it is not well known that in county jails across the United States the majority of inmates are not convicted of any crime. Research published by the Vera Institute of Justice (www.vera.org) reveals that most inmates simply cannot afford to post bail money. They await disposition of their cases, sometimes for months or years.

I suggest our board of supervisors could invite Kevin Robinson for further discussion of what can be done to remedy the shortage of staff.

Jonathan McCrone, Rohnert Park

Vote!

Editor: It is with great enthusiasm that I endorse Mike Wilson for Humboldt County 3rd District Supervisor.

I have worked with Mike as a fellow

Humboldt Bay Harbor District commissioner and have found Mike to be very competent and a problem solver. While Mike was chair of the Harbor Commission he pushed forward the purchase of blighted property on the Samoa Peninsula and was instrumental in removing millions of gallons of caustic chemicals. Mike also brokered a deal for the Harbor District to purchase a dredge that will be invaluable for years to come for local docks and will save the city of Eureka and the Humboldt Harbor District millions of dollars in the future. Mike has also completed many other complex projects.

I am proud to stand behind Mike as a friend and admirer of somebody who “Gets things done!”

Please vote Mike Wilson for 3rd District Supervisor on June 7.

Richard Marks, Samoa Editor: I have worked with Mike Wilson on a number of occasions in my roles as Wiyot Tribe natural resources director and Blue Lake city councilmember. Mike helped facilitate the Indian Island brownfields remediation, which led to the restoration of the Wiyot World Renewal Ceremony and removed a significant dioxin hotspot on while pumping millions of dollars into the local economy.

While others would have delayed or

dodged responsibility, Mike’s decisive action on the Samoa pulp mill helped prevent an environmental catastrophe that would have cost exponentially more to clean up. If the cleanup had not occurred before this past year’s rains, the improperly stored chemicals would have spilled into the bay. Instead the facility is being transformed into an economic driver that will create living-wage jobs.

While others like to complain and promote unrealistic goals, Mike has the experience, scientific literacy and drive for the betterment of our community.

Stephen Kullmann, Blue Lake

ozens of people scanning Craigslist to find work trimming marijuana got an unexpected reply this week: a stern letter from the Eureka Police Depart-

ment.

EPD Chief Andy Mills said the idea for the sting stemmed from data collected on homeless people who, until May 2, were camping in the PalCo Marsh. Mills said he was surprised to learn that “a sizeable percentage” of those who came from out of the area were initially drawn to Humboldt County by the lure of trimming jobs.

Local philanthropist Betty Chinn, who has dedicated decades of her life to caring for the area’s homeless populations, also said she’s noticed a large uptick in the number of young homeless people, travelers or transients who say they were drawn here by the promise of lucrative work in Humboldt County’s illicit billion-dollar industry.

Scores of these would-be migrant workers have been sent back to the communities from which they came, through both the county’s Transportation Assistance Program and Chinn’s work, for which a handful of local business owners pony up for bus tickets to get stranded folks back to their communities of origin. But looking at the little bit of data available, Mills said it’s clear Humboldt County has a problem with people traveling here for work they’re ultimately unlikely to get, as most growers prefer to hire locals or

people they know.

“I started thinking that maybe the better way would be to try to prevent them from coming in the first place,” Mills said, adding that he started with a simple question: How do people know to come here for trim work?

After spending some time on Craigslist and other online classifieds, Mills said he found a host of advertisements both from trimmers looking for work and from growers looking for help. On May 20, Mills posted an ad himself that read, “need a few capable people to weed/garden/ trim in Humboldt. smokers okay, must be functional. hard work but lots of fun. call and leave a message we’ll get back within a week.” Mills attached an EPD phone number to a voicemail set up for the sting.

Within two days, he said he’d received 100 messages.

Mills then had someone within the department call the people back, asking that they send an email with a photo of themselves — “Send us a picture of yourself so we know you’re not law enforcement” — and contact information. About 50 of the initial 100 responded with the additional information, including phone numbers from about 30 different area codes, according to Mills, who added that some decided it was a good idea to submit selfies of themselves holding “sizeable quantities of marijuana.”

The chief said he was initially uncer-

tain what to do with the batch of eager trimmers. He didn’t have enough probable cause to arrest most of them, as marijuana farm work exists under a haze of medical legality. Taking the sting a bit further and asking them to meet an undercover officer risked bringing folks to town only to strand them, exactly the scenario Mills was seeking to avoid.

Ultimately, Mills settled on a kind of reverse public relations ploy and on May 26 sent them all a note on EPD letterhead thanking them for responding to the ad.

“The information you provided is part of a conspiracy to cultivate marijuana investigation in Eureka,” he wrote. “As you know, growing, cultivating, transporting or selling marijuana is still illegal under federal law and may be illegal under state law as well, depending on the circumstances.

Eureka strongly discourages those who would desire to travel here for the purpose of trimming marijuana. Most of the grows are illegal and destroy our environment, drain our rivers and victimize our citizens. It is important you do not come to Eureka for this purpose or any other illegal purpose.”

The letter warned that trimmers locally have been assaulted, murdered, forced to work in the nude, serve as sex slaves or become ensnared with transnational drug cartels. “Many trimmers have been cheated of their pay and as a result, become stranded in Eureka,” continues the letter,

which is complete with hyperlinks to news accounts of ills that have befallen local trimmers.

Finally, the letter concludes: “Come enjoy Eureka for its fabulous people, great restaurants and amazing scenery. We have much to offer. If you come to commit this or any other crime, we are paying attention. EPD continues this investigation. To improve Eureka, Andrew Mills, Chief of Police.”

Response to the letter has been varied, Mills said. A few people cussed him out.

Others pleaded that they were only looking for work. Some professed gratitude. “I am sorry,” read one note Mills forwarded along to the Journal. “I will never pursue this thought again. Thank you for protecting me.”

Mills said he’s willing to bet that each of the 50 people who received the letter have talked about it in their social circles, spreading word that Humboldt County might not be as trimmer friendly as its reputation suggests and advising caution about who might be on the posting end of online classified ads. Meanwhile, the chief said, “I’m still getting emails.”

Pleased with the sting, Mills said it’s one that his officers will look to replicate on other online platforms and even in other areas, as time permits.

“We’ll continue to reverse market this as a place to be for transients looking for illegal jobs,” he said. l northcoastjournal.com • NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, June 2, 2016

ear neighbors, We live in a lonely place.

When I was a kid, I’d sit on our porch with only the radio for company and let the big dark swallow me up. The mountains that framed the Mattole Valley bit into the star-strewn sky like dark, crooked teeth.

That wild land, owned by the Bureau of Land Management or old ranching families, was empty enough to make you feel like you were the only person on Earth. Far across the river, there was a smattering of household lights — neighbors with whom we shared weather reports over the CB radio and occasionally forded the river to visit with firewood. From the brightness of those lights I could tell who, like us, used kerosene lamps, who was close enough to the county road to be on the grid and who must be using that most precious of luxuries — bringer of television and clean clothes — a generator. In the midst of the darkness, those tiny, twinkling lights were a reminder that there were other hearths and other homes among the ubiquity of trees and sky. Twenty years later, some things are better and some things are

worse. Cell phones and solar panels make rural living less dark and lonely, but half of our neighbors have been replaced by strangers. And the woods look like they’re on fire.

The photo included with this article was taken by Kyle Keegan, who lives in Salmon Creek. It is of the upper portion of Mattole Canyon Creek, as viewed from Elk Ridge. It is one of the more extreme examples of greenhouses lit by artificial sunlight to prolong the growing season, but is far from an exception to what you’ll now see in many rural parts of Humboldt County, where marijuana producers are trying to trick their plants into thinking that summer has begun many months ahead of schedule. It’s only the latest indignity heaped on the place we all claim to love: There are no longer elk on Elk Ridge, nor spawning salmon in Salmon Creek and, soon, there will be no shadows in Mattole Canyon Creek. From other vantage points, Keegan says, the glow of greenhouses equal that of a small city. Small valleys look like they have the moon caught in their necks. The horizon is smudged, the stars erased.

Keegan, myself and other neighbors may risk being accused of NIMBYism for mourning the loss of our night skies. Progress is progress, and over the last decade I watched the twinkling lights of homesteaders freckle our ridges in increasing numbers, first with dread, then with some small optimism. You become friendly faster out here because you have to. Ours is a lonely place. Strangers become neighbors through community barbecues and volunteer firefighting, and newcomers are often folded in and educated gently on how to get along. And where neighborly nudges fail, legislation will (ostensibly) prevail.

“I believe that every single ‘lightshow’ you see after dark is in violation of [the Medical Marijuana Land Use] ordinance, which calls for International Dark Sky standards,” says Humboldt County 2nd District Supervisor Estelle Fennell. “I believe the time for staying quiet about this kind of intrusion into our environment should be over. Our community needs to speak up.”

Growers, Fennell says, should cover up. Many do, Keegan notes, shielding the impact of the light out of respect for their neighbors and the landscape. A restorationist for more than 20 years, Keegan says native flora and fauna are adversely affected by the spillage of artificial sunlight, which disrupts their natural circadian rhythms. The impacts of light pollution on amphibians, nocturnal predators, plants and their pollinating suitors have been well documented in scientific literature.

As with many things related to our region’s green rush, the practice of lighting up the night has happened too quickly, and with too little oversight, to be prop-

erly studied. Keegan attributes its spread to “cultural mimicry” and its persistence to the increasing number of growers without community ties or neighborly instincts.

Many of the light systems are on timers, he says, and people just aren’t making the extra effort to cover up once night has fallen.

The county’s recent medical marijuana ordinance includes language regulating light spillage, with enforcement coming from the Humboldt County Planning Division. But, of course, these are only for grows that are licensed, and it relies on the often-dubious power of bureaucracy to police what should be common courtesy. Keegan and others believe that real change might come down to the power of shame.

“The scale and inertia of this industry is exceeding regulation,” he says. “We’ll have to deal with it as we did in the past, with social enforcement. Now, if you put a pump in the upper Mattole, it’s completely unacceptable. It should be the same if you’re stealing the stars from the sky.”

Last weekend my little nephew and I took binoculars and watched two bald eagles build a nest in a snag overlooking the Mattole River. The giant greenhouses are commonplace to him; at 10 years old, he’s never seen anything else. I hope watching the eagles is something we can continue to do; light pollution is an increasingly common cause of avian deaths.

And I hope he grows up in a place where we know and trust our neighbors. Those twinkling lights have mostly been replaced by eerie, sanitized beams. They no longer look friendly; they look alien. l northcoastjournal.com • NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, June 2, 2016

Buzzkill: That’s Not the World’s Tallest Tree

I

f you logged on to Facebook in the last week, you probably saw that beautiful photo of a redwood tree soaring over its shorter neighbors overlooking a broad river valley below.

It’s real and it’s in Humboldt County. It’s not, however, the tallest tree in the world.

For whatever reason, the picture has been circulating like crazy lately, and it seems to always be accompanied by a misleading or flat-out wrong caption. There could be a whole study of the virality of images and misinformation conducted about it, but, being stuffy, old truth-seekers, we just wanted to set the record straight.

The photo is actually of an unnamed coastal redwood in Southern Humboldt County somewhere east-ish of Weott.

Here’s the original caption: “An old-growth redwood dwarfs younger redwood growth in California’s Bear Creek Watershed on the northwest side of Bear Creek Ridge. Peavine Ridge sits in the distance in Rockefeller Forest, the world’s largest continuous old-growth redwood forest, measuring more than 10,000 acres.”

It was taken by Michael Nichols for National Geographic and was part of the redwoods spread that came out in October of 2009.

Nichols captured at the time. They’re gorgeous and worth looking at. (We wanted to feature the picture, but National Geographic charges a $200 licensing fee that they’re “unable” to waive. They must be raking in the cash from those thousands of Facebook pages it appears on …)

As far as the tallest tree in the world, that honor still belongs to “Hyperion,” which rises 379.1 feet out of Redwood National Park land. Its exact location is somewhat of a secret, but it’s in the oldgrowth forests of the Redwood Creek Basin northeast of Orick.

It’s unclear what exactly prompted one caption that’s accompanied the viral image: “World’s tallest tree, Humboldt County, Age: 800+, Height: 387 feet …”

The tree in the photo is unnamed, and those statistics don’t apply to Hyperion or its most famous counterpart, the Stratosphere Giant, which held the rank of tallest tree until researchers confirmed Hyperion’s height in 2006.

Photos and rumors about tall trees have circulated the far reaches of the Internet for years. That won’t change, and hey, it shouldn’t. We are home to the tallest trees in the world. But let’s do our best to represent our natural wonders accurately. POSTED 05.26.16

ormer Humboldt County 1st District Supervisor Jimmy Smith — a man revered as much for his kindness as his work ethic — died May 24 at St. Joseph Hospital after a long fight with cancer. He was 67.

Smith, who tirelessly served the 1st for more than a decade and had struggled with and largely prevailed over cancer since the 1990s, left his post in 2012 due to declining health. But he stayed active, continuing work on many of the projects he’d spearheaded as a supervisor. A lifelong Humboldt County resident, Smith attended Eureka High School before enjoying a varied career as a commercial fisherman, harbor commissioner and waterfowl researcher before being elected to the board in 2000.

Known and widely admired for his handson approach to being a supervisor, Smith personally inspected rural roads and promptly responded to concerned emails and phone calls from constituents. He sought consensus wherever possible, respected everyone and largely lived without pretense or ego, making him a perfect fit to head diverse teams that tackled large problems, like transforming the blighted South Spit into a wildlife refuge or crafting a seven-county water management plan.

When friends and community members gathered at a May 27 memorial service, there were more jeans than heels, and half the parking lot was filled with pickup trucks. The line of cars stretched down the small main street of Fields Landing, and the parking lot in front of the boat launch named in honor of

the man everyone knew as Jimmy filled with mourners. A strong, persistent wind made the microphone hum and the speakers wobble.

It was a good wind, the kind his friends said Jimmy would say was good for the salmon. It was the kind of day that brought the smell of the sea into your lungs, the kind Smith would have liked.

Rex Bohn, who filled Smith’s 1st District seat when Smith’s health began failing him, said he and other officials bent some rules in order to dedicate the ramp to his predecessor in 2014. “We broke procedure policy, we didn’t ask anybody, we just did it,” Bohn said, spurring the audience to applaud. Of course, the decision was voted in unanimously at the next board meeting. Smith, everyone agreed, was a rare kind of politician, the kind who united people who normally wouldn’t come together.

Smith was dedicated to the preservation of wetlands, to rural communities, to knowing as much about what was going on in Humboldt as possible. Loretta Sands (formerly Loretta Nickolaus), a former county administrative officer and Jimmy’s “sister from another mister,” spoke with reverence about her colleague and friend’s humility, about how during difficult financial times for the county, he demanded a cut in his salary.

“He led by example. He’d do just about anything for anybody,” Sands said, adding that the world would be a better place if everyone were a little more like Jimmy, prompting nods from the audience.

Other speakers talked about his dedi-

In preparing this story about the passing of former Humboldt County 1st District Supervisor Jimmy Smith, pictured above on one of his beloved fishing trips, we asked community members to share their memories (page 14) and three words that described Smith. We then used those words to form the above word cloud. “Dedicated” and “integrity” were the most commonly offered descriptors.

cation, how he never stopped working, about his yellow lined legal pads in which he’d write lists of things to do, checking them off one by one, and about how he kept a garage so neat and clean you could eat off the floor. They spoke often of his wife of 40 years, Jacque, of whom Smith would still sometimes sigh about, saying, “Isn’t she cute?”

Smith’s many trips to rural parts of the county, his willingness to always take a phone call or buy dinner for a friend, to offer advice and champion for those who requested his help, would take him away from his beloved Jacque for long lengths of time. Bohn thanked her for nursing him in his final years, and for sharing him with the public.

“Jacque, you shared him like no other person,” Bohn said. The audience clapped again. “We’re all better for having known him. I’m a better person for having known him,” Bohn continued, adding that he often met Smith for breakfast and asked him for advice.

In the crowd, men dressed in baseball caps and Carhartts, fishermen and firefighters, lifted their sunglasses to carefully wipe their eyes. Couples leaned against one another for comfort and shelter from the wind. Smith’s widow sobbed next to the podium. Their son, Gary, proudly wore his father’s favorite hat, which was autographed by members of the television show The Deadliest Catch.

North Coast Congressman Jared Huffman, who drove from Sacramento to attend the memorial, shared his first impressions of Smith, who said he would endorse Huffman under realignment only if Congressman Mike Thompson, Smith’s friend and the North Coast’s former representative, also endorsed him. For the next few months, Huffman told the crowd, he was put through the paces. He met with multiple groups, multiple people, all over the county, in what he called “Humboldt County boot camp.” He said Smith thought it was important that Huffman knew the place he would be representing. And when Smith gave his approval, Huffman received the full benefit of his influence, with support rolling in from all sides.

“One of the things I most appreciated about Jimmy is that his word was his bond,” said Huffman. “His reputation was just golden. He taught us that we need to treat other people, whether they agree with us or not, with respect. Wouldn’t politics be a lot better if we all did that?”

The audience applauded again. Huffman presented Jacque Smith with a plaque honoring her husband.

“I don’t know where the souls of really

rendition of Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone). As the last notes faded and the singer began to leave the stage, before the crowd could begin to speak again, the wind caught the unattended microphone and added its own voice to the proceedings — a low rush of sound, a hum. It was the kind of quiet moment you get before the fish takes the bait or you snap the perfect shot on a duck, the kind of moment Smith would have liked, and the kind he had too little of as he sacrificed his time to service.

Smith is survived by his wife, Jacque; his son Gary; his granddaughters McKayla Smith and Shawni Chrislock and her husband Kohl; his sisters Laurie Smith and Marnie Carr; and a host of nieces, nephews and cousins. In lieu of flowers or gifts, the family asks that donations be made to the St. Joseph Hospital Foundation in Smith’s memory. l Jacque Smith and her son Gary at the memorial.

good people like Jimmy go when they die,” Huffman said. “But I hope the rivers are cold and clean, the salmon are thick and the ocean is calm.”

The speakers in the ceremony were split evenly between friends and colleagues, but it was clear from their anecdotes and warmth that Smith had a way of blurring that line. One person who embodied both roles was Thompson, who often went hunting and fishing with his late friend.

“I’m very, very proud to be here,” said Thompson when he got up to the podium, his voice colored with a sob at the bottom of his throat. “Jimmy was a different kind of politician. He was hard-working. He

When we first met, we just clicked. I knew we were going to be friends.”

Thompson echoed what had been said earlier, that the world would be a better place if everyone were a little more like Smith.

“Make sure that you matter. He did that,” Thompson said. “Everything he did improved life for everybody else. We should all do that.”

After a prayer and several readings from the Bible, the ceremony closed with a

In addition to being my confidant, my counsel and one of my best friends, Jimmy was also my duck hunting buddy.

We took a lot of hunting trips together over the years but on this particular trip it was just Jimmy, me and my chocolate lab Katie. Whenever Katie and I were on hunting trips, I’d break home rules and bring a blanket to put on the bed so that Katie could sleep with me. She knew we were taking liberties we couldn’t take at home, and she took full advantage of it, snuggling up to me all night.

I went through a very serious health scare about five years ago. When Jimmy found out what I was going through, he called to offer words of encouragement and support. In fact, he called me periodically through the year to check in and see how I was doing. Whenever I ran into Jimmy in town or at some political event, he always gave me a big hug and inquired about my health. He helped me make it through some really rough times.

Even when Jimmy was battling his own illness, he always seemed more concerned about the health and well-being of others. He was just such a genuinely caring and selfless soul. Jimmy taught me how humans should really treat one another. I Continued on next page »

‘Seeking Middle Ground’

At a time in our country’s history when we are deeply divided and people seem to be talking past each other, Jimmy Smith’s approach to politics and life are more needed now than ever. Jimmy understood that whatever our personal points of view, solving our problems requires listening to each other and seeking middle ground.

Sadly we have all lost a friend and our community has lost a true leader.

But we can best carry on Jimmy’s legacy by striving to be like him in recognizing that we are first and foremost human beings and Americans and we are only Democrats or Republicans, conservatives or liberals second. Jimmy showed us that we have more in common than our differences, and that only by working together can we build a better community and country.

Pollyanna

Jimmy and I first met supporting a mutual friend. We hit it off immediately. I was impressed by his positive attitude and his sophisticated grasp of a situation, even though he came across as, as he put it, a Pollyanna. I know that people often think a positive attitude means that you do not know what is going on. Jimmy and I agreed that people with negative attitudes do not know what is going on.

When he became supervisor, we worked together on a couple of meth task forces. I appreciated his work ethic combined with a total regard for dignity and respect. He cared about people who were affected by neighborhood meth problems but he really cared about the folks addicted to meth as well. And he wanted to get things done. He stuck with it until things got done.

I heard folks criticize him for being a “good guy,” like that was a problem. Well, that “good guy” got a lot more done than a lot of the leaders who cultivated their critical attitudes. I miss him and appreciate all he has done for Humboldt County.

Former Director of Humboldt County Public Health Mike Goldsby

‘That’s Just my 20 Percent’

I worked with Jimmy at a time when the Board of Supervisors was generally perceived to have a 2-2-1 split, with Jimmy perpetually in the middle. He would often state his position with the dismissive “that’s just my 20 percent,” but he would use that 20 percent to build more consensus. A 3-2 vote just wasn’t good enough for Jimmy. If you wanted his vote for your side, you’d have to earn it by reaching across to the other side and accommodating some of their concerns. He would hold back on casting his vote until the rest of the board could reach more agreement, to see if we could get to a 5-0. I think Jimmy wanted to do the most good for the most people in Humboldt County, so a vote that only represented 60 percent of the people, or even 80 percent of the people, just wasn’t good enough. He wanted everyone to work toward agreement wherever possible.

A Sack Lunch for Two

Life behind the Board of Supervisors Chambers was more lively and dynamic than most people saw by just watching our meetings. There was gentle bantering,

Smith with former longtime Humboldt County Chief Administrative Officer Loretta Sands, formerly Loretta Nickolaus. Submitted negotiating, problem-solving, meetings with constituents, department heads, project advocates/opponents and other electeds, and laughter. There was often laughter when Jimmy was around.

And when the offices cleared for the lunch hour, it was often Jimmy in his office and I in mine continuing our work.

Sometimes, there’d be a soft knock on the outer door and Jacque would walk in carrying a sack lunch for two looking for her “Sweetie.” Jimmy’s eyes always lit up as he greeted his “lovely bride” with a hug and kiss.

I’d return to my office, and hear quiet murmuring of voices and the rustling of lunch.

A good part of the essential fabric of Jimmy is Jacque and her unwavering support, faith and love.

Former Humboldt County Supervisor Jill Duffy

‘Simple Acts of Kindness’

One of Jimmy’s most endearing and and enduring attributes, what made him a wonderful supervisor, was his ability to touch so many with just simple acts of kindness. At his memorial last Friday Jacque reminded me that he was impressed by my work during devastating fires in Southern Humboldt in 2003. It reminded me that even while the fires were still being fought I received a letter from Jimmy, thanking me for my work and offering any assistance he could. It meant a lot to me.

So much that I even framed it and hung it on my office wall. It was just as important to me as all the accolades that followed.

he was actually much more interested in developing the perspective and fortitude to avoid creating them in the first place.

That, he figured, was a way to save time and be able to get to the things we enjoy.

Uri Driscoll

‘The Antidote’

We live in a world where political and social disparities are often encouraged, where snark tends to get more attention than substance. Jimmy was the antidote to that. His goodness inspired people to be their better selves and to seek solutions with the people who, as Jimmy realized, were their neighbors — because we’re all neighbors here. Every time a local public figure opts to take the high road, he or she will be stepping in Jimmy’s footsteps all the way.

Jennifer Savage

Absolute Dedication

When the state sent the Marine Life Protection Act implementation team to town, tensions between agency staff and fishermen ran high. Drama, threats and protests dominated the early meetings — except when talking with Jimmy. With his trademark calm, he spoke to us about the fishermen’s concerns and advised us on how to best take those worries into consideration. Jimmy’s dedication to his constituents was as absolute as his commitment to getting everyone as on the same page as possible. The imprint he made helped guide the North Coast MLPA stakeholders into doing what no other regional group in the state could do: Come together with a unified proposal on a complex resource management issue.

Jennifer Savage

A ‘Go-To Guy’

Jimmy loved Humboldt County and was truly a man of the outdoors. As a hunter and as both a recreational and commercial fisherman, Jimmy understood the importance of protecting our great outdoors.

He approached every policy decision with that understanding and passion so that he and future generations would always have a beautiful place to hunt and fish. He studied hard, he listened to every opinion and he brought an unrivaled wealth of knowledge and passion for Humboldt County to every decision. Throughout my entire time in the state Senate and in Congress, he was my constant go-to guy, he had an impact on all resource-related public policy I ever dealt with. Humboldt County and its residents are already benefitting from Jimmy’s great work, the returns of which will benefit Humboldt County for generations to come.

U.S. Congressman Mike Thompson

Enjoying the Ride

I am so thankful that my career in Humboldt County has been intricately woven together with Jimmy Smith’s. We worked together to forge partnerships to restore the Salt River watershed; to resolve the problems and then restore the South Spit; to develop a management strategy for Humboldt Bay and to develop a multi-county partnership for integrated regional watershed management needs for water/wastewater and related infrastructure needs, and that is only a partial list.

Throughout all the trials and tribulations that these kinds of projects presented, we enjoyed the ride and all the people along the way. We always knew that whatever frustrations we were facing that day, it was worth persevering because

Jimmy and the Talking Fish

Many people know about Jimmy’s love of the outdoors. He loved to tell people about the sounds ducks and geese make and what they mean. One day, Jimmy and I were out fishing for sand dabs on my boat, the Reel Steel. We had just filled a bucket with the tasty fish when a fish at the top of the bucket made a squeaking sound.

We both made comments that we had never heard a fish “talk” before and I went forward to start the boat. I looked back to see Jimmy carefully lift the fish and gently return it to the water. When he saw that I had seen what happened he got a sheepish look on his face and said he couldn’t take listening to that fish anymore. It became a running joke between us.

He was a great friend and I loved him dearly. I’ll miss him.

‘He Teased Me Relentlessly’

My first crossing out of Humboldt Bay was on Jimmy’s boat. I was lucky enough to go salmon fishing with him a few times.

He teased me relentlessly about the time on a back-cast my hook snagged his shirt.

He always made it sound like I had opened him up with a knife and forced him to donate a gallon of blood. It was all in good fun.

He told me once about being out at sea alone and how an orca swam right up

there with all his heart and soul. He was behind our efforts to clear the brush and young firs that had taken over his favorite hunting grounds above the Mattole (now BLM King Range). He took great interest and helped in our salmon restoration projects, providing the kind of support that was effective. And it was a joy to see how delighted he was telling me that the Pedrazinni boat launch on the lower Eel had been constructed, so that part of the river would be easily accessible to everyone. He enjoyed the hard work of bringing people together to accomplish both the great and small works that define a Humboldt way of life.

ahead. In fact, it was a complete landslide.

But Jimmy was at the elections department waiting for the final precincts to be in. I told him to go home and celebrate the “ass-kicking” he just gave. He chuckled and said, ‘No.’ He’d wait until the last precincts were counted and then he and Jacque would go home and maybe have a glass of wine. For Jimmy, elections were just something you had to go through to get back to work, not the other way around. … He never raised his voice, but at times, a look would cross his face. You knew you might be out of line. And he was right.

Gregg Foster

The Diplomat

What I remember most about Jimmy was his enthusiasm for all things. He was always engaged and showed a definite interest in whatever you might be talking about, be it the fire department or a recent fire or rescue call, or fishing, hunting or the most current event or issue in our community. Jimmy was “all in” on whatever you were discussing, and he always made you feel like you and what you were discussing were the most important things in the world right at that moment. He would get excited, with a big smile and a sparkle in his eye, and you felt a connection. I will be forever grateful for those discussions and the friendship that was always there.

Humboldt Bay Fire Chief Bill Gillespie

Jimmy, Mike Thompson, and I were driving out to the Trinity River restoration ceremony. It was a big deal; Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt would be there, and it was the first time I’d staffed the Congressman without (District Rep) Liz (Murguia.) Mike was giving me the business for blanking on the name of the Willow Creek newspaper.

Jimmy saw how nervous I was, so to put me at ease he started in on Mike, telling stories about missed shots, fish lost and other choice memories from their million hours together. He really got off some good ones, then Mike started in, and we laughed nearly all the way to Hoopa. Later, Jimmy told me that he was just taking care of me. He was. He always did. But he also loved any opportunity to rib Mike. They accomplished so much together and their brother-like friendship was such fun to behold.

Allison Talbott

One thing about Jimmy is he sure knew how to always handle his constituents in a diplomatic fashion. He welcomed praise and constructive suggestions but the thing about Jimmy, and this stands in contrast to many other supervisors, past and present, is that even if you sent him a scathing critique on an issue or vote he’d cast, he would always reply to every email and thank you for comments, no matter how much you might have disagreed on the topic at hand.

Follow Through

Honeydew Fire needed another building to protect a second fire engine from the rainforest elements we experience in our neck of the watershed. Jimmy worked with us to ease the county permit process and, after my husband died suddenly before construction could begin, Jimmy followed through on what he and Dan had started.

In the meantime, he attended each Roll on the Mattole, handing over a hefty personal check every time, and eagerly visited with his constituents while he was there. After ‘Trower Station’ was completed, we had a dedication party open to the community on one of the hottest days of summer in 2009, where Jimmy presented to the Honeydew Volunteer Fire Company and my family two certificates of appreciation from the board of supervisors.

He passed on to his District 1 successor all his contacts, so that we felt he was still watching over us … which he was. He emailed quite often after he retired, and Rex and he met for breakfast regularly.

‘A Dignified Presence’

The North Coast’s Complete Restaurant Directory 18 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, June 2, 2016 • northcoastjournal.com

I met Jimmy during his first supervisorial race. I bumped into him on the front steps of a house going door-to-door in south Eureka. I was campaigning for his opponent, Carlos Benemann. We introduced ourselves and his eyes sparkled at the humor of it. I liked him instantly.

He was dedicated in his attention to Petrolia. He showed up at the Grange barbecues, planning commission meetings, memorials. He was a dignified presence wordlessly affirming the rewards of order and tradition. But he was fun-loving too.

We have this race in Petrolia called the Rye & Tide (it’s modelled on the Ride & Tie horse race, but with bikes instead of horses), where you drink a jigger of rye (kids don’t drink it) and leapfrog on a bicycle to the ocean. Then somebody like Socrates or Captain Ahab or Grover Cleveland gives a fine speech and gives out prizes. Everybody gets a prize. That’s the whole point of the race.

We asked Jimmy if he’d do it and he didn’t hesitate a moment. He gave a great speech about civic virtue and shook hands and had a conversation with every winner and got all smoky cooking hot dogs on a stick around the fire, demonstrating that you can get down and at the same time not lose a drop of your ceremonial dignity.

Everyone out here will remember it.

Ellen Taylor

‘Seeds of Kindness’

Jimmy led by example and would do just about anything for anybody. If he

couldn’t solve a problem, he would find the person or persons who could. He noted every visit, call and conversation in note pads. He regularly checked his notes to make sure things were getting done. He worked 24/7, always helping others. When the budgets were tight he was the first person to cut his own pay. He didn’t ask for reimbursement for mileage or other business expenses.

He shouldered the costs himself. He wouldn’t ask anyone to do anything he wouldn’t do himself. Jimmy greeted everyone with a warm hello. He was always making rounds in the community to make sure things were OK, and to see if there was anything he could do to make things better. Jimmy knew that working together was the only way to get things done. He believed in treating (all) people with dignity, kindness and respect. He planted his seeds of kindness everywhere he went.

Former County Administrative Officer Loretta Sands, formerly Loretta Nickolaus

‘A Living Legacy’

Jimmy brought a statesman-like persona to the Board of Supervisors and developed relationships that benefited the county. Jimmy always invested 100 percent in his position as a supervisor and expected the same from others. He was instrumental in so many beneficial projects throughout the county and he invested in people tapping into their strengths, which has resulted in state, county and city leaders with a vision and purpose that will continue to be a living legacy to a great man.

‘A Nod and a Smile’

Jimmy’s State of the County speech for the League of Women Voters was a prime example of Jimmy doing something like nobody else can: make people feel appreciated.

Usually, the county supervisor who delivers this annual speech focuses on addressing the current conditions that the community is facing. What did Jimmy do?

He picked out people from the crowd and thanked them for what they do for the community. Business owners, elected officials, board commissioners, foster parents, retirees, service club members, nonprofit leaders, avid fundraisers, the list goes on.

I lost count of how many people Jimmy thanked that day, but what I remember is how good everyone felt after he got done. I can still picture him standing on the stage. He would look at someone with a nod and a smile and he would mention

Smith and his wife of 40 years, Jacque, at the naming ceremony for the Jimmy Smith Fields Landing Boat Launch. Submitted their name and individually thank them for what they do.

Humboldt County 4th District Supervisor Virginia Bass

‘A Good Supervisor’

Many who worked directly with Jimmy will have more to say on this subject.

For me, his legacy is his example of what makes a good supervisor — respect, hard work, a willingness and an ability to listen openly to all sides and work toward the best solutions possible; a love of Humboldt County in all her natural beauty, diversity and wonderful resources and an ability to foster collaboration toward common goals.

Humboldt County 2nd District Supervisor Estelle Fennell

Jimmy’s Struggle

I used to love our Thursday night “research” sessions at O.H.’s. Always a great discussion. Occasionally we’d get dinner and talk about future. Jimmy never complained about his health but was always concerned about how his struggle would affect his ability to follow through on some of the very important community projects he was spearheading. I say spearheading but he’d never talk about it that way. He was always part of a great team.

His humility and dedication to true public service were inspiring and, as hard as I try, something I might never match.

Gregg Foster

‘He Cared Deeply’

I worked with Jimmy in the courthouse.

We saw each other, and talked, almost every day. He was so incredibly genuine and fun to be around. He believed in doing the “right thing” every time. Jimmy wanted

to show that people who worked for the government did care and could help.

When he couldn’t help someone he would explain to them why. He made it a point to understand the details of everything.

He made no decision without understanding the full consequences and outcome.

He brought so many people together to solve problems and make our community a cleaner, safer, better place to live.

He cared deeply about our county and brought in many outside resources for the environment, water quality, law enforcement, health and human services, roads, tsunami/disaster warning and planning, fisheries, dairies, ranchers, fire protection and developing local talent to lead and serve in a kind, competent, respectful and team oriented way.

Former County Administrative Officer Loretta Sands, formerly Loretta Nickolaus

‘My Inner Jimmy’

Jimmy’s Legacy? Treat everyone with respect. Be considerate of their opinions even if they are different than yours. Take the time to let people know they are appreciated.

I realize that I don’t let people know nearly often enough that they are appreciated and valued. As a tribute to Jimmy I am going to focus on “channeling my inner Jimmy” and change that.

Humboldt County 4th District Supervisor Virginia Bass

‘Too Many Leaners’

Jimmy and I shared adjoining offices at the courthouse. When matters would sometimes heat up, go crazy or simply be frustrating; either one of us would pound the wall in hopes of gaining some attention. No problem there. We imme-

diately would go to the hallway in front of our offices, which was a lone, narrow space leading to the conference room B door. Whereupon we would lag for quarters. A regular old budget balancing maneuver. He, of course, would win with too many leaners.

‘A Natural Leader’

Its hard to be comparative to others, but it is easy when it comes to Jimmy. He was truly dedicated like no other to the natural resources of our great environment. He was as great in deed as in the spoken word, a natural leader, where you would see everyone gravitate for understanding, agreement, sometimes solace and definitely joy. They should name a stool at the Marina Cafe after him.

Former Humboldt County Supervisor John Woolley

‘A Better Example of Ourselves’

Jimmy Smith didn’t just talk about our community and the people who live here, he was the people and our community. Everything he did or was involved with focused on making our community better. Jimmy lived and demonstrated the philosophy of “Service above Self.” He gave everything he had to work on issues, to bring people together and to reach a consensus with people who often had very different views. He led by example, in that quiet manner that was Jimmy. He taught so many of us how to work cooperatively and how to be a better example of ourselves. I will miss him.

summer drought will set in. New plantings should be watered weekly depending on your soil type and the weather. Over and under watering stresses plants leaving them susceptible to disease. Fewer and longer soakings will encourage a deeper root system resulting in stronger, healthier plants.

Blackspot on Roses - Roses are

Prune the Spruce - June is the best month to prune your conifers. A good rule of thumb is not to remove more the 1/2 of the green growth. Avoid pruning cuts in inactive areas (no leaves or needles).

Pinch pine ‘candles’ by half to encourage bushier growth.

Shade Hangers - Do you have a shady

spot for a hanging basket? Try tuberous begonias, fuchsias, lobelia, impatiens, ferns, Heuchera, trailing pansies, Creeping Jenny and Tasmanian Violet. A combination of all these plants will make a beautiful basket.

Down and Dirty

Gardening Grab Bag

What’s new and cool in the gardening world

By Genevieve Schmidt

downanddirty@northcoastjournal.com

E

very spring, the gardening world explodes with an almost overwhelming array of new plants, books, tools and techniques. While most of it isn’t cool enough to bother with (do we really need 14 new Heuchera introductions when ‘Plum Pudding’ is already perfect?), there are always a few gems that take gardening up a notch.

Here’s what I’m loving right now.

A bounty of butterflies With a photographer in the house, as well as an observant and wonder-filled toddler, there seems no better time to double down on inviting as many living things into the backyard as I can. Though we’re all familiar with a broad selection of plants that can provide for pollinators, gardening for butterflies can be challenging because they have such specific relationships with individual plants, making it imperative to know as much about them as possible in order to invite the greatest number into the garden.

Given that, I’ve been particularly enthusiastic about the latest book from The Xerces Society, Gardening for Butterflies.

Even beyond the plant recommendations, the ideas on providing places for butterflies to pupate, take shelter and overwinter are helpful in re-imagining my garden as a place where butterflies might like to live, rather than just visit for a snack. Gross tip: A huge number of butterflies love to drink from scat to meet their mineral and nutrient needs. I don’t think I’ll be providing that particular resource but I can certainly indulge them with a few sheltered mud puddles.

New organic treatment for thrips California’s drought has been a real problem for many shallow-rooted plants like rhododendrons, which do best with more consistent moisture than they’ve been getting recently. For many rhododendrons, this stress from lack of water has caused thrips infestations which are notoriously challenging to beat. Thrips are a microscopically tiny sucking insect which sap the chlorophyll and energy from plants, leaving a silvery sheen on the

top side of the leaves (especially older leaves). Until now, the most effective and practical option for treatment has been imidacloprid, a neonicotinoid insecticide that’s been implicated in colony collapse disorder in honeybees, and kills our individually nesting native bees and other pollinators as well. I hope it goes without saying that I’ve been unwilling to use the stuff.

Thanks to local rhododendron nursery Singing Tree Gardens, I’ve discovered a new rosemary extract solution from Sierra Natural Science called 209. You start by spraying the affected foliage (especially the undersides) and stems, then drench the soil around the root zone every two weeks for at least four treatments. When the thrips drink from the plant and come in contact with the rosemary extract, they quickly move on. Though nothing will fix the appearance of previously damaged leaves, this treatment can help protect new growth and allow your rhododendrons to shake off an otherwise nasty and hard to fix infestation.

Alluring apricots Apricot flowers, that is. Though blue, lavender and purple are my favorite colors in the garden, apricot and amber blooms make an ideal brightening contrast to these cooler shades. The new introduction I’m most excited about is Digiplexis Illumination ‘Apricot’, a new color of Digiplexis with a warm peachy-yellow hue.

Digiplexis are the spectacular result of breeding a shrubby perennial (Isoplexis) with a foxglove (Digitalis). You get those iconic foxglove spires, with more bloom spikes, exotic colors and a spring-fall bloom season.

To get my apricot fix, I am also planting Flower Carpet Amber landscape rose, dwarf Alstroemeria ‘Inca Ice’, and Helianthemum ‘Cheviot’. Pair them with blue-flowered Geranium ‘Rozanne’, the fuzzy purple spires of Mexican bush sage (Salvia leucantha), or brighten up the combination with plants that have golden foliage like golden heathers or golden-variegated herbs.

Watering wisely Though I use automatic drip irrigation for most of my garden, the classic watering wand has long been a favorite for areas that need a little boost, such as the vegetable garden and potted plants. I like the soft rainshower head that doesn’t hurt delicate new plants, and the long handle which allows me to reach the center of my veggie beds or go skywards to water hanging baskets.

Yet the angling of most watering wands has always been challenging, because you’d want the head pointing a totally different direction for watering hanging baskets as you would for watering the center of raised beds — so I’ve been excited about a recent tool acquisition, the Snake Wand from Black and Decker.

It’s got a round, comfortable grip, an easysqueeze lever that doesn’t hurt my hands, and an articulating end that lets you adjust the wand on the fly to hit hard-to-reach places with whatever angle you want. If you hand-water or do hanging baskets, it’s a worthy upgrade over traditional wands, which had me spritzing the sidewalk as much as my baskets.

Kill weeds in the lawn with iron More than almost any other issue, organic gardeners struggle with getting rid of broadleaf weeds in the lawn. Though dandelions are relatively easy to remove from small lawns with a standing weeder, what about those trailing weeds that seem to infest the entire surface of the lawn without having an obvious starting point?

For the last few years, I’ve been keeping my eye on a new treatment that has only recently been approved for use in California — an iron-based organic weed killer (FeHEDTA) that doesn’t hurt turfgrass.

Just like the dreaded weed and feed products which contain a chemical relative of Agent Orange (2, 4-D), you can apply it

over the entirety of your lawn and it kills dandelions, oxalis, etc. Unlike these chemical herbicides, it’s safe for pets, people, and wildlife as soon as the spray dries. If you are like me and prefer your lawn to just have grass and not a lot of chunkier weeds like dandelions giving it an uneven surface, give this stuff a try. I prefer the Iron X! product from Gardens Alive because the company has great customer service and an organic focus, but there are other products with the same active ingredient in the Bayer Natria line as well as Scotts’ Whitney Farms line.

Sensational Succulents grown-up coloring book What could be better inspiration for artists than the intricate rosettes and fractal-like patterns found in so many succulents? They are vividly-colored and have varied gradations in tone, making them an ideal subject for that grownup coloring trend I’ve come to love. Sensational Succulents, a new coloring book from the queen of succulents Debra Lee Baldwin and illustrated by Laura Serra, has 75 images from Debra’s books that have been transformed into line drawings, ready for you to color. The paper is thick, and unlike many coloring books which have so many lines that it’s hard to do anything freehand, the outlines of the succulents give just enough room for us to take some artistic license in shading. She even has instructions on her website for transferring the illustrations to watercolor paper, if you want to get creative in another medium. l For a detailed monthly to-do list, visit www.northcoastjournal.com/GardenTodo.

Hum Plate Roundup Casting off the burden of choice Story and photographs

by Jennifer Fumiko Cahill tabletalk@northcoastjournal.com

H

ave not recent political events and the return of 1980s fashion made us all question our collective ability to make good choices? Take a break from weighing the pros and cons. Have what we’re having.

The new Menu of Menus dining guide is on newsstands now with the skinny on new Humboldt restaurants, a visual guide to selecting a bar and primers on local cult sandwiches and festival food. Just pace yourself.

We’ll have a little of everything.

Hop a Flight

The Small Things

Unfortunate fact of physics: A standard ice cream cone can only hold two flavors before things get sloppy and end in tears.

If you’re not already married to a flavor, the wait at Living the Dream Ice Cream (1 F St., Eureka) culminates with a scramble to pick from more than a dozen flavors. And even if you get two scoops, does mango habanero go with Dirty Monkey? Sure, you can get a sample but there are limits, both of decorum and the patience of the toddler behind you who wants a scoop of vanilla cake batter now.

Enter the ice cream flight: eight 1-ounce scoops nestled in a custom wooden tray that someone should get going on marketing ($8.25). And unlike oenophiles and beer aficionados, you needn’t follow any particular order. Order a couple of flavors outside your comfort zone and expand your palate. Nibble the salted pistachio and chase it with chocolate orange. A bite of chocolate banana ice cream paired with the light and milky strawberry is an instant banana split. Spend a little time on the complex green tea (fresh, earthy-smoky), then go back to chocolate orange by way of the aromatic Mexican chocolate.

Cleanse your palate with the floral and dairy-free Coco Rose. And digging into two rows of scoops with your tiny spoon does not make you a glutton; you’re a connoisseur.

We are not so much spoiled for choices as crushed by the never-ending waves of them. It never occurred to me as a child, for example, that I would one day find myself behind on watching TV. It is with the same Netflix-esque overwhelm that you sometimes open a Mexican menu, fold after fold, until the accordion of choices sends you seeking the refuge of your usual burrito.

So the one-page, laminated menu at Taqueria Rosales (312 W. Washington St., Eureka), which just opened up behind Liu’s, is a relief. There are still choices to be made about fillings for the half dozen regular items and the specials. The carnitas taco is little but mighty, with a homemade corn tortilla — oh, the softness — and garnished with cilantro and onion ($2).

Sure, you could go with a packaged tortilla for $.50 less, but is that who you are? Is that how you’d treat a friend, much less the salty, pan-crisped shreds of pork your server’s mother made for this taco? Who hurt you?

Even plusher corn tortillas came wrapped in foil alongside the day’s one and only special, short ribs stewed in a bright, tangy chile verde with a side of beans and rice ($10). Yes, short ribs — another little upgrade to treat yourself. The meat needs only a little coaxing to leave the bone and the seedy tomatillo and

Even if you don’t, carnitas and pastor tacos deserve homemade tortillas.

green chili sauce has just enough heat to give you some color.

Waiting for Tuesday Tuesdays are press days at the Journal, a cruel constant that has thus far kept us from following a lead on the Tuesday night Southern fried chicken special ($20) at Six Rivers Brewery (1300 Central Ave., McKinleyville). But this week, we put the issue to bed and called ahead to secure one of four remaining orders. By the time we

hopped a stool, our neighbors at the bar were already loosened up and the Warriors were taking a beating on the flatscreens.

Those same neighbors nodded knowingly when the huge square plate arrived covered in cream gravy, a biscuit teetering on its edge. Instead of a standard leg and breast, this is a flattened, boneless full breast — resembling a deep-fried Pangaea — with a peppery, audibly crunchy crust that holds up under an avalanche of gravy.

The coating is, as Elvis’ cook used to say,

Juicy inside, crunchy outside and gravy everywhere.

“seasoned pretty high” and the marinated meat inside is juicy enough to make you forget about dark meat for a moment. Asked about the ingredients (is that cornmeal?) the cook replied, “just flour and egg wash.” Lies.

But we’re not even mad. You will need your fork and the oversized knife — to cut, to share or to warn off the envious latecomers who didn’t snap up those other three orders. Keep looking under that snowdrift spotted with cracked pepper and you’ll find mashed potatoes (jackets

on) and green beans slicked with butter.

The homemade biscuit, though dwarfed by the tectonic plate of chicken, comes with a very Southern foil-wrapped pat of butter and packet of honey so it doesn’t forget where it came from. l What are you having?

You Have Seen Their Faces

J. Raymond Mireles’ Neighbors documents Eurekans

By Gabrielle Gopinath artbeat@northcoastjournal.com

A “street photo” from Neighbors.

Courtesy of J. Raymond Mireles

E

urekans, get ready for your closeup. San Diego-based documentary photographer J. Raymond Mireles will be making portraits of people at various locations in and around Eureka on June 3. He’s compiling this photographic portrait as part of an ambitious, self-funded project titled Neighbors, for which he plans exhibitions of photographic portraits of Americans in all 50 states.

The first exhibition of Neighbors opened in San Diego earlier this year.

There, photos were reproduced at large scale, printed on vinyl to withstand the weather and posted on a fence outside the artist’s house.

The portraits in that exhibition reveal a consistent approach. Mireles positions his subjects against a neutral studio background. Sometimes he photographs them at a distance so that clothing and body language become part of the story; other times his shots are cropped so that little is visible except the subjects’ faces, which are etched in detail and bathed in a gentle, even light.

Mireles’ Eureka shoot is part of the first phase of a two-part process. The plan calls for the portraits to be reproduced at large scale and exhibited in the cities where subjects reside. Since photographs from the series will eventually be shown in Eureka, the project represents a collective portrait that is of and also for the community. There is also a book planned and Mireles is selling prints to fund the project.

Mireles says he is looking to photograph individuals who represent “the spirit of the community” through “the industries in which they are employed, the locations where they live or work, and/or the community groups with which they are affiliated.”

The photographer comes to this project with 25 years of experience behind him. His resume includes commercial and advertising work as well as documentary

projects on subjects including the Berlin art world, the North Dakota oil boom and economic disparity in the California desert.

I caught up with Mireles recently to ask him a few questions. Responses have been edited for clarity.

How did you decide on Eureka as a site?

“I’ve been north as far as Fort Bragg. It’s always been a dream of mine to explore the northern reaches of California and I’m excited to be making that happen. I’m hoping to capture some of the subcultures that make the area unique. Hippies.

Loggers. The pot-growing people up in the hills.”

What equipment do you use?

“I use a medium format Hasselblad that creates crisp, high resolution images.

I shoot everything digitally. I use studio lighting. I’m using a top-of-the-line lighting system. It’s the same equipment that a portraitist like Annie Leibowitz would use to photograph a celebrity but I’m using it to photograph people I meet on the street.”

How do you create stylistic consistency?

“I use the exact same background and lighting for each photo. When you look at the photographs in series, the background and lighting are the same; only the faces are different. So you are able to focus on the details of the person’s face, see how those details reveal character and experience.”

You’ve been printing these images at large scale, 4 by 5 feet. Why reproduce the photos larger than life?

“Scale is important. When you’re confronted with faces at that scale, you can take a longer time to look. The size dictates a different relationship. You notice all kinds of things you wouldn’t normally see. One time I photographed a barber and when I reviewed the image later you could tell he had just trimmed his hair for

the picture. Tiny fragments of freshly cut hair were stuck to his cheek.

How do you select your subjects?

“I make every effort to reach a broad range of people. In the past I’ve worked with a variety of community organizations. Churches and neighborhood alliances provide entry points into communities.

But my favorite go-to spot is a gas station.

It’s the one spot where lots of people are coming together, because of course everyone needs gasoline. You get the guy making his commute, the farmer, the Buddhist monk, the retired guy.”

What photographers’ work has been important to you?

“I like Irving Penn’s Métiers — I think the title means the traditional trades. Penn had people from different trades come up to his studio in Paris and he photographed them there in this beautiful formal way.

But Richard Avedon’s late ’70s and early ’80s project In the American West was my most important source of inspiration.”

Avedon traveled through the West and met people along the way at

parades, at rodeos, on the street. He photographed them on the spot in front of studio backdrops.

“Yes. In a sense I’m updating his project, making it a more inclusive portrait that documents the actual society we live in today. I think Avedon focused on extreme elements of society and his depiction is homogenous — there are a few Native Americans, but not a single African-American in the whole book.”

It’s a white West.

“It’s a great body of work but it could also be expanded. To paraphrase Isaac Newton, if I’m able to see farther today it’s because I’m standing on the shoulders of giants.” l J. Raymond Mireles will be photographing people in public places in and around Eureka on Friday, June 3.

Setlist

If A Band Plays and No One Hears it, Does it Still Rock?

By Andy Powell

thesetlist@northcoastjournal.com

T

his past weekend I made it out to a local bar to hear an outof-town band play — I’ll leave identifying names out to protect the dignity of those involved — and as it happened to be during the Kinetic weekend, the looming potential of almost no one showing up came to be an actuality. This was unfortunate for many reasons, and for many involved, but mostly because this band was damn good. But enough about that…

While the eight or so of us in the audience enjoyed the band, I noticed a man poke his head into the bar to check out the music. He immediately noticed — I assume — that there were probably more folks currently in the back of APD squad cars than at the show. After a quick scan of the “crowd,” he high-tailed it for a better-attended venue somewhere else.

I, of course, don’t blame him for not sticking around, but it was interesting that what was being sussed out — from my vantage point — was not the quality of the music being performed but, rather, the quantity of bipedal life forms grooving in the vicinity of the band. To me, it was a brilliant reminder that live music serves many purposes and satisfies many senses.

We tend to think of our ears as being the main beneficiaries of a concert, and we’re not wrong to think that. However, there’s more to it.

A friend of mine used to shun live shows because he could “just listen to the music on headphones at home.” That’s true, but he was missing out on much of the magic. A studio album is a wonderful work of art, and something that never dies.

A live show however, is something that exists only in a moment, and is never the same again. It’s a combination of the band, their music, the notes they play, the liquid — or other — intoxicants cruising through your body and the other people who are there. A live show is a social event, even if you don’t speak to a single soul there.

There’s a wonderful feedback loop of energy that occurs between the band and the audience. Generally, the more one gives, the more one gets. The best live show you’ve ever seen would not have been the same had it been a private concert just for you. So if a band plays for no one, do they still rock? Sure, just not as much.

Thursday I hope you all have recovered from a busy Kinetic weekend; it’s not looking like this one’ll be slowing down much, but such is the sweet summery life here in Humboldt. Ease into it with a show at The Jam in Arcata with North Carolinians Yarn, who have just released an album called This is the Year. Influenced by tough-as-nails troubadours such as Waylon, Willie and Merle, this Grammy-nominated band will entertain some pre-summer crowds with locals Blacksage Runners at 10 p.m.

Let me back up, so to speak; at 9 p.m. you’ll find a four-band bill at Richard’s Goat Tavern and Tea Room. Existing simultaneously on both Burger Records and Hardly Art record labels (two is better than one?) is La Luz, an “all lady outfit,” I’m told, that’s “heavy on the vocal harmonies and swaying surf guitar” and has a unique and hypnotizing sound. Sounds good. Joining the band, from Seattle, is Sad Sick World, a group “on a catchy search for pop truth.”

Local support provided by The Monster Women and Chachi Hands. $7 for this sonic pop jamboree.

Friday

The New Directions Cello Festival starts off in the Fulkerson Recital Hall on HSU’s campus. Public performances start around 7:30 p.m. and tickets can be purchased for $20, or $12 for students. The festival runs through Sunday, so for a full list of performers check out the Journal calendar.

Hot Buttered Rum is no stranger to Humboldt County and the band is cur-

Redneck Baby plays Sunday, June 5 at 8 p.m. at the Little Red Lion Cocktail Lounge.

rently in the process of recording three five-song EPs with the first to be released this fall. If you’re lucky, you’ll get to hear some of those songs at the Arcata Theatre Lounge at 8:30 p.m. Doubling down on the good times, local favorites The Absynth Quartet starts the show off so you’ll be nice and warmed up. Bring $20 to get in the door and the rest will work itself out.

It’s the first night of a multi-weekend music fest called BPBS Fest. Oryan of long-running-local band Datura Blues is putting this all together and you can catch the kickoff at Blondie’s in Arcata. You’ll hear Die Geister Beschwören, which formed in Arcata back in the 20th century to play “primitive folk noir;” Rllrbll, a 23-year-old Portland psychedelic progressive rock trio; and Susurrus Station, an experimental-pop duo that also hails from Stumptown. The first day of the fest is free so get on down at 9 p.m.

In Eureka, starting around the same time you’ll find originally surfabilly and “instro sounds” from Roland Rock for free at the Siren’s Song Tavern.

Saturday

The 2016 Summer Arts and Music Festival kicks off and will run through Sunday. The list of performers is too long to reproduce here so keep flippin’ through these here pages to get a better grasp of this two-day festival in So Hum. Holding it down in No Hum is the LaPatina Band, which will delight at least one of your senses at the Redwood Curtain Brewing Company in Arcata. They’re going on around 8 p.m. and won’t be asking for any of your money — but they’ll gladly accept it — so feel free to wish Jeff

DeMark a happy belated birthday or leave him a gift.

The Blue Lake Casino and Hotel welcomes back premier local cover band The Undercovers. Playing a wide range of hits from a range of decades, the band will take the stage at 9 p.m. for this free show.

Sunday

It’s Sunday, so that means the Jazz Jam is happening at Blondie’s in Arcata at 6 p.m.

Hear talented local musicians work and play together. It’s a free show so you can afford that classy beer you’ve been eyeballin’.

The only folks I’ve heard of who are bold enough to defend modern country music — outside of Journal assistant editor Grant Scott-Goforth [ed. note: haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate] — will be at the Little Red Lion Cocktail Lounge at 8 p.m. Redneck Baby is a duo from Portland that performs amplified acoustic covers of pop country songs along with some of their originals in the same vein. If nothing else, you’ve got to give them credit for standing up and defending a genre that is more or less critically shat upon by anyone who can read (too far?), so reward them by showing up. l Full show listings in the Journal’s Music and More grid, the Calendar and online.

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

Andy Powell is a congenital music lover and hosts The Night Show on KWPT 100.3 FM weeknights at 6 p.m. He hopes more than eight people are reading this.

Come on In, the Art is Fine

SoHum Sunshine

The North Coast is a vibrant stretch of land, bursting with originals and originators. The salt air, natural beauty, friendly folk and easygoing pace surely serve our ability to recognize and unleash our creative power. And fortunately, North Coast Open Studios, the two-weekend, community art event, affords us a rare opportunity to step into the places where that creativity blooms. We get to talk with artists, watch them work, see what inspires them and perhaps pick up a few ideas for our own practices (or, pick up a few pieces for our collections).

The annual event, now in its 18th year, includes open studio locations from Trinidad to Hydesville and east to Blue Lake. It showcases more than 100 artists and artisans. And this year, for connoisseurs of fine fermentation, local cider and wine makers will open their doors for a peek into the processes.

Studios are open this Saturday and Sunday, June 4 and 5 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and next weekend, June 11 and 12 (free), same time.

To find out where your favorite creator is located, or to double check the rare exception to the open studio times, look for guidebooks around the county, online at www.northcoastjournal.com or in the May 26 issue of the Journal.

The Summer Arts & Music Festival, June 4 and 5 at the Benbow Lake State Recreation Area ($40 weekend pass, $25 per day), billed as “the most comprehensive celebration of art and music on the North Coast” and voted 2015’s “Best Music Festival in Humboldt County” by you, dear NCJ readers, is the perfect way to get that sweet summer vibe going.

One of the best bangs for your musical buck, the SAMF presents more than 100 performances by a diverse array of entertainers. Headliners this year include John Popper (of Blues Traveler fame) with Object Heavy & DJ Logic, March Fourth! Marching Band, The Skints and Dehli 2 Dublin, to name just a few. In addition to the imports, you can groove to a multitude of local favorites. Catch the Latin Peppers, NightHawk, April Moore and Ranch Party, Mad River Rose, No Pardon, Asha Nan, Absynth Quartet and a host of others.

As the festival’s title indicates, there’s plenty of art to behold against the backdrop of the river and redwoods. From the Fine Arts Showcase to the Belly Dance Temple to homemade art, food and information booths to a lively Kids Zone, there’s much to enjoy, and all-day/night to do it. Gates open at 9:30 a.m. with the party going from 10 a.m. until 10 p.m. both days.

Time Was

Alice and X-Men

By David Jervis

filmland@northcoastjournal.com When someone asks if you’ve had Botox.

Reviews

ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS A sequel, especially when it’s meant to cash in the success of the original and is cut loose from a director with a defined flair and sensibility, can be a bit of a letdown. In this case, director Tim Burton took leave after directing 2010’s box office behemoth Alice in Wonderland and turned over his chair to the unremarkable James Bobin of the recent Muppet movies.

Burton’s vaunted knack for visual storytelling has faded in this century with his career arc favoring remakes, reboots and re-imaginings. Really, for all its haul at the gate and Oscar-winning production design, the original Alice was a bloated affair, one eager to take Lewis Carroll’s original story and characters and veer off into something far from its creator’s singularly surreal world of fantastical nonsense into, well, just well-marketed nonsense.

If one had quibbles about how Burton’s Alice strayed from Carroll’s tale, Bobin’s film won’t make up for it, since the plot on screen bears almost no resemblance to that story, instead putting its characters into a convoluted plot.

Alice (Mia Wasikowska) has returned from captaining her father’s ship on a journey to China, and finds she and her mother’s fortunes at the mercy of spurned suitor Hamish Ascot. Alice is summoned back into wonderland by caterpillar-in-butterfly-form Absalom (voiced by the late Alan Rickman, the very fact of which carries the closest thing the film has to any emotional wallop). And there the rather forced whimsy and rote CGI set pieces get up and running. Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter slum along, reprising their respective roles as the White and Red Queens with, of course, Johnny Depp back as the Mad Hatter. A presence of overwrought twee-ness that was barely tolerable the first time around, even in a movie clearly aimed at much younger audiences, Depp’s Hatter belongs with such recent incarnations as a mopey Willy Wonka in one of Burton’s other misbegotten blockbusters. It all leaves one longing less for Captain Jack Sparrow than stock

footage of Depp and Hunter Thompson shooting at beer cans out in the boonies just to snap matters back into the zone of anything interesting.

As part of a plot that involves Alice fighting the manifestation of time (played

by Sacha Baron Cohen, slumming a couple notches above the rest) for control of something called the Chronosphere, my mind wandered to thinking about Terry Gilliam’s Time Bandits, which more than three decades ago was the sort of fantasy-adventure film — both silly and thought-provoking — aimed at younger audiences, which doesn’t exist anymore.

If anything, Gilliam’s story had more of the cheeky, droll Brit sensibility that murmured through Carroll’s trippy 19th century tales as its characters jumped through points of time backward and forward, never treating its audience like a focus group for a new theme park attraction. Thirty-five years on, Time Bandits is fresh in my head, right down its loopy conceits and Monty Python-bred humor.

Only about 35 hours later, Through the Looking Glass was fading from my mind faster than a gaudy Super Bowl TV spot.

PG. 113M. FORTUNA.

X-MEN APOCALYPSE. As the X-Men film series zips along in fits and starts, one ponders where this whole arc of stories ultimately leads and whether it’s ever capable of ending at all. It’s to the credit of this franchise that it remains nimble after all this time and that each film stands on its own merits.

Bryan Singer here takes his fourth whack at directing an installment in the Marvel series, and does so ably. The story follows the awakening of ancient deity Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac, always good to see, even under a pile of prosthetics), raised from the dead after thousands of years and hell-bent on destruction, with recruitment of mutants high up on his list. Set in 1983, during one of the chillier spikes of the Cold War, gives the film an interesting backdrop, one that it capitalizes on as often as it misses the mark.

Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence,

as Magento and Mystique, respectively, return and do solid work, and Olivia Munn is admirable in the role of Psylocke, despite the relative lack of screen time and work for her character to do. (She does have a really cool samurai sword.)

There’s no way to put this movie in a jar for observation and not make the obvious comparison to this year’s other comics-spawned tent poles, the awful Batman v. Superman and the damn outstanding Captain America: Civil War. Apocalypse falls somewhat in between, something fitting for a franchise that neither blew on the launch pad like the start to DC’s Justice League slog, nor picks up the creative head of steam in Marvel’s Avengers series and its corollary movies.

It’s overlong, the big sequences are great but nothing mind-bendingly original. PG-13.

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, 2016, 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 23 rd, 2016.

Published in the North Coast Journal on May 26th, June 2nd and June 9th, 2016.

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, 2016, 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 2016, is shown opposite the assessment/parcel number and next to the name of the assessee.

PARCEL NUMBERING SYSTEM EXPLANATION The Assessor’s Parcel/Assessment Number (APN/ASMT), when used to describe property in this list, refers to the Assessor’s map book, the map page, the block on the map, if applicable, and the individual parcel on the map page or in the block. The Assessor’s maps and further explanation of the parcel numbering system are available in the Assessor’s office.

E-Cigarettes vs. Tobacco

By Barry Evans

fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com

I

n the time it takes to read this sentence, seven seconds after inhaling either a regular or an electronic cigarette, molecules of nicotine link up with receptor molecules in the user’s brain. Which is when, for good or bad, the magic happens. Both a psychoactive stimulant and relaxant, nicotine creates feelings of sharpness, alertness, calm and relaxation. By raising one’s metabolism, it reduces appetite in many smokers, resulting in weight loss.

But because it also activates the body’s mesolimbic pathway, inhaled nicotine is highly addictive, as 40 million Americans can confirm. (Curiously, it’s much less addictive when chewed.)

The main difference between regular and e-cigarettes is all the tar-based junk in tobacco smoke, including 400 toxic chemicals and 43 carcinogens such as arsenic and formaldehyde. While the nicotine keeps users addicted, it’s the tar that kills. According to the World Health Organization, smoking will kill a billion of us by the end of the century, plus another 600,000 people a year who inhale secondhand smoke. In the U.S. alone, nearly half a million people, most of whom are relatively poor and less educated, die of smoking-related illnesses each year.

In a controversial move a month ago, the London-based Royal College of Physicians issued a report urging cigarette smokers to switch to e-cigarettes as a public health measure. The report claims that the vapor in e-cigarettes, which contains virtually none of the carcinogens in tobacco smoke, is less than 5 percent as harmful as regular cigarettes. (This is the professional body that, in 1962, produced definitive evidence for the link between smoking and lung cancer, leading to the U.S. Surgeon General’s slamming of tobacco two years later.)

Not only are e-cigarettes and the larger vaporizers less harmful, but they also help smokers quit. John Britton, lead scientist of the report and director of the U.K. Center for Tobacco and Alcohol Studies,

Vapers have many choices beyond simple e-cigarettes, including these vaporizers shown here with “e-juice” and batteries.

claims that “e-cigarettes have the potential to help half or more of all smokers get off cigarettes. That’s a huge health benefit, bigger than just about any medical intervention.” The report notes that would-be quitters have a 50 percent greater chance of success using e-cigarettes than with nicotine patches.

The U.K. recommendations haven’t come unchallenged on this side of the Atlantic. Stanford researcher Stanton Glantz, a notorious anti-smoking crusader, claims that e-cigarettes will lead to nicotine addiction in young people who wouldn’t otherwise take up smoking. “These guys, in my view, are going off a cliff,” he told the New York Times. “They are turning England into this giant experiment on behalf of the tobacco industry.”

The controversy over e-cigarettes appears to be between the health of tobacco addicts now and the future potential harm to those who would otherwise abstain from nicotine products (echoing, perhaps, the debate over needle exchange as a public health measure).

It seems that smoking the leaf of Nicotiana tabacum has always had its detractors. In 1604, just 20 years after Walter Raleigh introduced tobacco to Britain, King James I offered his judgment on the new pastime: “Have you not reason then to bee ashamed, and to forbeare this filthie noveltie?” he asked, describing smoking as “A custome lothsome to the eye, hatefull to the Nose, harmefull to the braine, dangerous to the Lungs, and in the blacke stinking fume thereof, neerest resembling the horrible Stigian smoke of the pit that is bottomelesse.” With today’s ready availability of nicotine-based vapor in e-cigarettes and vaporizers, James’ spirit may have peace at last; the tobacco era could be coming to an end. ● Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo.com) totally enjoys his one cigarette a year at Thanksgiving.
