School Wrong on Wal-Mart

Editor: Well the day has come. Wal-Mart is here (Blog Jammin’, June 14). Are we better for it? Hell no. We have heard the arguments about what they do to Main Street and our communities. They are true. We have heard that their labor practices are abominable. And that is also true. What more can they do to be offensive? Have a Christian Church bless it. Don’t they make enough millions of dollars on the backs of their workers? They have to call on a church to bless it? But wait! There’s more. The Eureka High School Honor Guard will be present to offer its colors as well. I’m not sure who pays for the flags they carry. And I don’t know who paid to transport the kids to this “grand” opening. And I’m not even sure if these kids missed school to help welcome mighty, mighty Wal-Mart to our community.

While the church might be none of my business, I’m wondering if my tax dollars helped support any of this Honor Guard hoopla.

So I called Leanne Lanning, superintendent of Eureka City Schools. She wasn’t sure about who paid for what either but said, “It is a public event.” Well, is it? It takes place on private property (the Bayshore Mall). It supports private enterprise. Don’t get me wrong. I have nothing against private enterprise. Except when it works to screw over working people.

Ms. Lanning just wasn’t sure and might or might not look into it. Well, someone should.

And by the way: I expect you will be flooded with letters from people who are sure that I along with others opposed to Wal-Mart’s practices will be first in line. That may just be their way of assuaging their guilt for indulging in hurting hardworking people and filling their pockets. Trust me. It’s Wal-Mart who benefits from Wal-Mart. Not the workers. Not the shoppers. Not the community. And hell no, I won’t go.

Kiss My Ass

Should not be taken as a threat, When you consider the level of cover Afforded the typical human ass.

Now hands are another matter, Having been everywhere soiled And never properly washed.

If you hear kiss my hands, Take that as a serious threat And run for the hills!

Unless, of course, it all leads To the touching of lips With a total disregard For what is dirty And what is clean.

Bayshore Mall, before …

A former shopping haven, on the cusp of change

T

New Lower Prices

6 North Coast Journal • Thursday, June 21, 2012 • northcoastjournal.com

his Friday afternoon in early June, Eureka’s Bayshore Mall is bathed in a hue of desperation no amount of sunlight pouring through skylights can brighten.

Shoppers are scarce. Roof tiles are dangling. Employees are daydreaming. More than half the storefronts are vacant. Several spaces have been taken over by roadside vendors, peddling rugs and tapestries featuring pot leaves, Bob Marley and wolves howling at the moon.

Some vendors have vinyl banners to suffice as storefront signs; others don’t bother. Once inside you can tell by the layout and color scheme that this used to be The Gap or Wilson’s Leather, which lends a post-apocalyptic tinge to the bleakness.

As I approached the entrance on the left side of the food court, I came upon a mouth with more vacancies than teeth gaping from behind a pulsating circle of condensation on the glass door. I hesitated, figuring the pale man fogging up the glass was about to open the door and leave. He didn’t. He just stood there with his sunken eyes fixed on the far corner of the parking lot like a hungry fox at a rabbit hole. “Where are they with my shit?” he muttered as I opened the door, prompting me to quickly step aside.

In the food court an employee at the Chinese Gourmet Express was twirling a toothpicked chunk of orange chicken between his fingers. A few Hot Topic shopping preteens on a quest to locate “hip” strolled by on youth’s greatest snipe hunt. A woman was eating lunch and reading a copy of Eat, Pray, Love, which she must have brought with her since there’s no longer a bookstore in the mall. One table over a father sharing some orange chicken with his son cracked open a fortune cookie and read it out loud, “Life — it’s best not to get too comfortable.”

I gravitated toward Nona’s Ice Cream for a cup of coffee. Unlike most mall cafeterias, half of Bayshore Mall’s six restaurants are locally owned. While making my Americano, owner Wendy Davis told me that she added an espresso machine to her ice cream shop last year,

when Borders went bankrupt. “It’s not a mall if you can’t get coffee,” she said, as she handed me my drink. “I don’t know about the future of the mall, and I don’t know what to think about Wal-Mart opening. All I really want is for more stores to open.” I nodded and wish her the best.

Past the food court the mall jots off in two directions like a stubby “T.”’ In the wing toward Kohl’s, the anchor store on the left, there are only four remaining stores: Claire’s, Wet Seal, Spencer’s Gifts, and RadioShack. As I walked to Kohl’s the only signs of life on was the jingle of janitors’ keys on hips and a gate being locked at the previous location of Payless Shoes.

To the right, Sears and Bed, Bath, and Beyond are the surviving anchors.

Even Just a Buck is empty. Between the defunct Borders and former home of Gottschalk’s rests the busiest place in the mall — the playground. Parents of all dispositions come with the sole purpose of letting their children play on the slide and plastic playground gear. As I walked by, a teenage mother was chasing her 3-year-old around while another half dozen parents hunched across the surrounding benches.

I sat for a bit and wondered if they’re feeling the same looming uncertainty, like watching the tide go out after a tsunami warning. This mall was never the kind of place to see people working this season’s Chanel pumps while carrying a toy poodle in a Gucci handbag. Nonetheless, it used to be a safe and predictable temple of consumerism.

In 1988, nearly 18 years after Joni Mitchell let us know, “they paved paradise, put up a parking lot,” one of the largest mall owners in the United States, General Growth Properties, opened the Bayshore Mall. Many local retailers feared the mall would put them under.

Sears and JC Penney relocated to the gleaming new space. The climate-controlled Bayshore Mall boasted 25-footwide walkways, a food court bordered by lofty windows, and more than 100 corporate shops. Although there were continued on page 8

… and after Wal-Mart Can the new anchor store change a struggling institution?

W

al-Mart is officially open at the Bayshore Mall, and so far the impact on the rest of the mall has been… well, slight. On a Thursday afternoon, just one day after last week’s grand opening, only a few more patrons walked the corridors of what was once a consumerist haven.

In the food court, toothpicked chunks of orange chicken were still being twirled at Chinese Gourmet Express. A group of Six Rivers National Forest firefighters were eating lunch. An elderly couple was having a cordial argument about how to operate their new cell phone. A few high school girls wearing “Pink” Victoria Secret T-shirts giggled as they marched past the Tilt.

School is out for summer, and though it has brought a few more teens to the mall, they don’t dominate as they once did.

Before I ventured further, I hit Nona’s Ice Cream for a cup of coffee. Employee Ronda Oeth said the new anchor store has yet to bring more patrons Nona’s way.

“I’ve worked here for three years. The mall sucked when I started, and it still sucks.”

She continued, “I’m not a fan of Wal-Mart, and I don’t think it’s going to help us out in any way.”

Past the food court, the gate at U.S. Cellular was drawn. There was a handwritten sign on it — back in 15 minutes. From behind his broad-brimmed Mountie hat, a security guard told me that other stores do this as well; it’s common practice since many have only one or two employees working at a time.

On the walk toward Kohl’s I passed a young mother in bedazzled jeggings pushing her child in a stroller and a couple of seniors holding hands as they leisurely walked the empty corridor. Sitting on the bench closest to Kohl’s was a peculiar man with a white T-shirt tied over his head. As I got closer I noticed he was giddily fidgeting with his black pleather fanny pack. “Hello.” I said, as I passed by. He quickly sat up straight and chuckled from behind those all too familiar recessed cheeks.

Since my last visit, Eureka police arrested 55-year-old Abbie Lynn Keafer for allegedly selling methamphetamines

from her motor home parked on Bayshore Way, next to the mall parking lot. Inside her motor home, investigators said, they found crystal meth, processed marijuana, pipes, hypodermic needles, cookers, and .38 caliber pistol ammunition. She had tricked her ride with external cameras, so those inside could see people approaching from the parking lot. Although the mall is as depressing to me as ever, the absence of brazen meth sales today was refreshing.

Just past the Cash for Gold kiosk, across from the empty space that used to be Anchor Blue, is the Verizon kiosk.

Salesman Brad — he declined to give his last name — said he, too, hasn’t seen more people in the mall since Wal-Mart opened.

After Brad finished helping an animated prog-rock fan with feathered hair, I continued down the mall. The florescent lights of Wal-Mart were pelting the shiny floor to the left of the playground, sending an array of reflections across the dimly lit windows of the new, yet poorly attended, Payless Shoes. Behind the glass doors WalMart was buzzing with people coming to shop for the first time.

Perhaps because of the gorgeous weather, the playground wasn’t as crowded as it was on my last visit. A couple of parents sat attentively watching their three kids go endlessly up and down the slide. One mother was texting while her daughter ran circles around the slide.

A petite blonde teenage girl from Mrs. Fields was trying to catch business from Wal-Mart shoppers, offering samples of a slushy substance called “Lemon Breezer.”

Most people passed on it. I took a sample and sipped it as I headed toward one of Wal-Mart’s competitors, Sears.

In 2005, Sears Roebuck & Co. merged with Kmart Holdings Co., making it the 10th largest big box (Wal-Mart is the largest). Since then the company has faced a steady decline in revenue. Last year it closed over a 100 stores. What I found at Sears, besides a few people browsing the Craftsman tools, was a ghost town. Even the electronics department was eerily quiet. For a moment I stood there, the sole continued on page 9

Bayshore Mall, before … continued from page 6

a few dissenters, many adults hailed it as a hub of commerce, and teenagers hailed it as the hub of cool. Even those who hated malls — or shopping for that matter — could find solace at The Sweet River Saloon where they could soothe the frenzy of holiday shopping at the full bar, take mom to Sunday brunches, or attend the often humorless Saturday night standup comedy. Fast-forward 24 years; the mall appears to be in decline.

And the Bayshore Mall isn’t an anomaly. According to the International Council of Shopping Centers, only one new enclosed mall has been built in the United States since 2006, while 300 have closed. Many Americans spend differently now; they shop online and at big box stores, or rarely at all because of hard times.

Back at the food court, I spotted a short man, perhaps 40-something, in an oversized shirt plastered with electric blue skulls. A woman roughly three times his mass, pushing a baby in a stroller,

walked along side him. Their jerky movements, dilated eyes, concave cheeks, and blank yet hostile expressions all scream to me of meth. As they neared the center of the food court, the man sat down.

The woman walked a few tables away and stood with the stroller. A few moments later a guy with a shaved head, baggy jeans and a white hoodie pushed a wad of cash into the man’s hand. Giving an upward nod, he then walked toward the woman, who reached behind the baby, pulled something from the stroller, and plunked it into his hand. Though I have no idea how much money was just transferred, it’s safe to say it was the largest transaction I’ve seen all day.

observer on the shores of a sea composed entirely of flat screen TVs. I couldn’t even find a sales attendant to join me in watching the displays simultaneously flicker, each with a unique tint. What’s more, many of these TV’s are the same ones for sale at Wal-Mart. Hell, they’re even the same prices.

I knew returning to the mall so soon would be disheartening. And it was, but not for the same reasons as my last visit.

Where people shop is a polarizing topic — especially here on the North Coast. It’s understandable. Many good hardworking people are living paycheck to paycheck, and they’re not all going to agree on how to survive as well as improve our community. That said, most people — no matter what side of the aisle they prefer — really do want our community to prosper. In a way the shopping mall, with many stores gathered under one roof, was built upon the idea of community. Each store would bring its own clientele, who would then be inclined to shop at the neighboring

store. Each store would be helping the others out. That hasn’t happened, but then again corporations are not people.

On my way back to the food court, I stopped to browse the DVDs and CDs at FYI. A decade ago, when it was Sam Goody, I was one of the managers. The layout is roughly the same as it was then, but the customers are in short supply.

There was only one in the 20 minutes or so while I was there.

Back at the food court not much was going on. If Wal-Mart customers have trickled through to this spot, they were bucking a trend. Most Wal-Mart shoppers were entering and exiting through the big box’s main doors. What will this mean for the food court? For Sears? For FYI? For GameStop? Although the data is in on what Wal-Mart does to regional and global economies, its long-term effects on this mall and our community have yet to be seen.

Meet our neighbor This little hidden store on the Plaza began as a sewing

room. Accomplished clothing designer and seamstress, Lindsay moved to Humboldt County from South Dakota, decided to stay, and proceeded to enroll at Humboldt State University. What began as a space for creating beautiful clothes and sewing for hours every day and a space for her son, Solas, to play has morphed into a remarkable and truly unique clothing store. Lindsay originally designed and sewed all the clothes in the shop. “I tend to make things that accommodate our climate,” she says about her designs.

Now she offers space for other designers as well. “I am all over the place, that’s why I shop at Murphy’s. Their hours work with my hours. They are open late and the deli’s tofu squares, along with some veggies, make cooking a healthy meal easy!”

Blog Jammin’ ELECTIONS, POLITICS / BY RYAN BURNS / JUNE 18, 6:05 P.M.

About Those Bohn Mailers…

Background: Shortly before Election Day we reported on a series of slate mailers that had recently appeared in local mailboxes. Of the various endorsements printed on those mailers, the name of Rex Bohn was about the only constant. One flier looked über-lefty; another looked gun-nut conservative; and there appeared no rhyme or reason to the suggestions on ballot measures. Was this a deliberate attempt from Bohn to mislead voters?

We tried and failed to get an informed response from him before Election Day. (In case you missed it, the Eureka businessman community organizer/dirt scout wound up winning the 1st District seat on the county’s board of supervisors.)

In the meantime, we (okay, I) learned a bit more about the for-profit companies that put out these mailers. Bottom line: They’re not to be trusted. The San Francisco Chronicle explains that these mailers “may be nothing more than a collection of endorsements sold to the highest bidder and packaged to look as if they represent a particular political philosophy.”

Several political historians reminded us that Bohn certainly wasn’t the first local candidate to use these suckers. (We’re looking at you, District Attorney Gallegos.)

The latest: When we finally connected with Bohn today he said it took him a while to track down just what we were asking about but that, yes, his campaign paid to be listed on the mailers. He said the companies behind them offered a pitch: For 2½ to three cents per word, they’d spread the message of his choice (up to 25 words) to both Democrats and Republicans in his district. Upon request they named previous candidates who’d used them, and they gave their FPPC bona fides.

“It sounded like a very economical way to get my message across,” Bohn said, adding that he has yet to see any of these mailers. Bohn said he didn’t know what messages would appear beside his own and he apologized if anyone was confused by them (a prospect he found doubtful, since no one but the Journal has mentioned the mailers to him, he added).

At any rate, he said, “I hope it was more successful than confusing.” ● ACTIVISM, COMMUNITY, FORESTRY /

Tree-sitters Declare McKay Victory Remember the McKay Tract treesitters? The straggle of folks who began ascending redwoods on Green Diamond Resource Company’s forested property near Cutten four years ago to save them from being harvested?

Well, today, June 18, Earth First! Humboldt, is claiming to have prevailed over the timber beast because Green Diamond recently sent a letter to CalFire, the timber harvest overseer, saying it was closing its harvest plan for that area.

The tree-sitters’ release notes that Green Diamond “is close to signing a deal to sell roughly 2,000 acres of the western McKay Tract to the Trust for Public Land.”

Gary Rynearson with Green Diamond confirmed in an email that “We are currently working on a four year option agreement … that will include the opportunity for a county-owned community forest on the western side of the tract, and a conservation easement that would preclude future development on the eastern side of the property.” Since the tree sitters were in the potential community forest, the company closed out its timber harvesting there, he wrote. ●

OB-Gyn Turmoil at St. Joe’s St. Joseph Hospital’s gynecologic chief of staff has resigned his administrative post in protest of a near-ban on sterilizations.

The physician, Dr. Bill Weiderman, said he’ll continue to practice at the hospital, but he’ll no longer be head of gynecology.

He declined to comment further except to confirm reports from other doctors

that he had stepped down because of the new policy.

Gynecologists are “incensed” by the hospital’s efforts to stop them from honoring patients’ requests to be sterilized, said Dr. Cherrie Andersen, and several doctors have spurned requests to take over as the next chief of staff for gynecology.

St. Joseph used to allow tubal ligations if the woman’s physician indicated that a future pregnancy would threaten her psychological or physical health, said Dr. Kim Ervin.

Under the old rules, roughly 80 to 100 sterilizations for contraceptive purposes were performed annually at St. Joseph and Redwood Memorial hospitals from 2007 through 2010, according to state records and an analysis by public health scholar Sandra Hapenney. Almost all the procedures involved women who decided to have their tubes tied right after their baby was delivered, most commonly by Caesarean-section, Hapenney said.

But the top brass at the 14-hospital chain run by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange sent out word earlier this year that that was going to have to stop. (“Every Sperm is Sacred,” April 5.)

The new rules circulated at Thursday’s meeting said that doctors could not use a woman’s age, her psychological condition or the number of her previous pregnancies as medical grounds for sterilization.

Doctors also would not be allowed to sterilize women whose future pregnancies might worsen serious heart, kidney or other conditions.

It wasn’t immediately clear when the new rules go into effect at St. Joe’s. Hospital spokeswoman Leslie Broomall said last week that she had no comment until she could look into it further. ● READ FULL POSTS AND SEE PHOTOS AT

What’s Organic?

Humboldt growers differ on whether certification matters

Story and photos by Bob Doran

O

n a crisp, clear afternoon in early April, Jason Whitley pulls the white Food for People van into the gravel parking lot of DeepSeeded Community Farm. Whitley is the local food resource coordinator for the food bank, a man with a mission. Today he’s a gleaner. He stops at the farm’s tools shed and loads a cart with a stack of wax boxes that once held organic celery. Then he grabs a harvesting knife and wheels past rows of crops, some weeks away from harvest, some freshly planted.

Toward the back of Eddie Tanner’s 10-acre farm on the edge of the Arcata Bottoms, a couple of rows of cauliflower are ready to eat. Tanner figured the cauliflower would be ready earlier, but it came on late — too late for his customers, who sign up for regular deliveries through a

prepaid Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. Tanner called Food for People because he can’t sell this cauliflower to grocery stores that demand certified organic produce.

Tanner seems like a model organic farmer. He doesn’t use synthetic pesticides or herbicides or any non-organic products. He’s known locally as an innovator, and he lectures and teaches field classes on organic methods. But he does not pay the annual fee and do the paperwork required by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for anyone marketing products labeled “organic.”

It’s not that he’s unwilling or unable to abide by established organic standards. “I think a lot of the standards are pretty good,” he said. He just figures since he’s mostly marketing directly to his customers through a CSA — people who know him and his practices — third party certification is irrelevant. He sells some produce at the North Coast Growers’ Farmers’ Market in Arcata, but no one there seems to mind that he’s not certified either. As he puts it, “My reputation is the certification; the third party doesn’t really have a role to play.”

Many Humboldt area growers have little use for the federal certification program. Of the 66 farmers in the North Coast Growers Association who raise food crops, just 26 are certified under the federal program, which requires them to undergo annual inspections and spot checks. Participating costs around $1,000 a year, but farmers can get up to $750 of that back from the Humboldt County Agriculture Department, which passes on federal funds that support sustainable agriculture. About half the certified organic food producers in Humboldt have signed up for that reimbursement, according to county agricultural inspector Bruce Bryan.

Those who don’t bother with certification say that it’s just not worth the hassle here A SIGN AT THE ARCATA SAFEWAY PROMOTES THE STORE’S ORGANIC PRODUCE. in Humboldt, where so many people who

care about produce already know how local farms work. But it’s pretty much mandatory if you want to sell to local natural food grocers such as the Co-op, Wildberries and Eureka Natural Foods.

Dairy and cattle operations have fewer opportunities to sell directly to the end consumer, and dozens of them in Humboldt County — covering more than 70,000 acres — are registered with the state as organic. That includes 39 dairies, nine cattle ranches and 14 organic hay operations.

From the federal point of view, organic food

isn’t any better, worse or more nutritious than other food.

The label “organic” is essentially a marketing tool. And people have been marketing like crazy. Safeway has an in-house product line labeled “O” for organic, including everything from baby food, milk and eggs to potato chips.

Wal-Mart announced a major initiative in 2006, promis-

ing to “democratize” organics by keeping prices down to make them available to the budget-minded masses.

The federal National Organic Program spells out just what it takes for food crops to be certified organic, with a set of rules finalized in 2002 after years of study and debate. The rules prohibit use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides and fungicides.

They forbid using genetically modified organisms, irradiation and sewage sludge.

The rules also require farmers to manage their land, using cover crops and crop rotation to maintain fertility and avoid erosion or soil depletion.

In meat and dairy production, certain antibiotics and all growth hormones are forbidden in products certified organic.

And animals must be given organic feed.

While the USDA may hesitate when it comes to associating organic food with

food safety and better nutrition, WalMart is not as shy. The company declares on its website, “In addition to being free of unwanted chemicals, organic food is generally higher in nutritional value. For instance, research has found that organic strawberries and corn contain higher levels of vitamin C.” And, “Perhaps the biggest reason for the popularity of organic vegetables is the absence of pesticides, which may be especially harmful to children and pregnant women.”

This super-sizing of organic production worries people like food guru Michael Pollan, who wrote in a New York Times op-ed that he feared that the food giant’s clout could harm the delicate world of organic food.

“We have already seen what happens when the logic of industry is applied to continued on next page northcoastjournal.com • NORTH COAST JOURNAL • THURSDAY, JUNE 21, 2012

organic food production,” Pollan wrote.

“Synthetic pesticides are simply replaced by approved organic pesticides; synthetic fertilizer is simply replaced by compost and manures and mined forms of nitrogen imported from South America. The result is a greener factory farm, to be sure, but a factory nevertheless.”

Equally disturbing, Pollan wrote, is that “the legal meaning of the word organic is now in the hands of the government, which means it is subject to all the usual political and economic forces at play in Washington.”

The federal rules for organic crops are enforced by site visits and random inspections, conducted by private inspectors.

Among them are Global Culture out of Crescent City, Organic Certifiers out of Ventura, and the biggest, San Franciscobased California Certified Organic Farmers, which recently announced plans to get even larger through a merger with Eugene-based Oregon Tilth. Smaller growers face different rules and different enforcement requirements.

In Humboldt County, ag inspector Bryan is the de facto enforcer and watchdog of branding at the farmers’ markets. He says all rules and labels can get tricky. Small scale organic farms that do less than $5,000 a year in sales, for example, can register with the state of California if they want to call their products organic. Bryan handles the applications and checks out the operations of Humboldt’s 27 small, uncertified growers.

“If they’re only registered, they can call their produce ‘organic,’ but Organic carrots at the Arcata market, certified by the not ‘USDA organic’ and pioneering California Certified Organic Farmers. not ‘certified organic,’” he says.

Pollan isn’t the only one concerned dames of the local sustainability movethat these marketing guidelines on how to ment, says the rules dilute the best organgrow organic could be perverting ic practices, and she doesn’t want to be or sidestepping some of the betcertified. “They’ll tell you you can use all ter ways to run a healthy, wholethese kinds of pesticides that are ‘organic,’ some farm. but I don’t use any,” she said one recent Janet Czarnecki of Redwood weekend morning at the Arcata farmers Roots Farm, one of the grande market, standing behind a table with a

basket of fresh cut herbs and a sparse collection of early season vegetables.

The federal rules allow for huge organic farms that can have some of the same problems as non-organic operations, she said. “A monoculture crop of tomatoes that’s grown commercially is certainly a lot different from the ones I grow.”

It’s still early in the local

growing season, and most farms only have a few crops to sell, but on a sunny Saturday in June, the Arcata Farmers’ Market is bustling.

Jacques Neukom of Neukom Family Farm holds down the corner by the Arcata Post Office throughout the market season. Right now he’s selling strawberries and sugar peas; later in the season it will be decadently tasty peaches, heirloom tomatoes and exotic squashes. A woman who has just bought some of his strawberries warns that early arrival at his stand is mandatory in peach season.”The line stretches down the block. The peaches are that good.”

Neukom briefly stopped paying for organic certification a few years ago. The cost and the paperwork were major factors. “It’s an intrusion into your world,” he said. “We all get into farming because we want to spend our time out in nature, but you end up spending all this time documenting what you’re doing.”

He didn’t change his farming methods; he just stopped having an inspector check up on him. But after one season of telling one customer after another that everything was the same, it was just that he was not technically “organic,” he changed his mind and recertified. “Even with what I thought was an excellent explanation, I still had people that wouldn’t shop with me the next week.”

Now he’s a firm believer in certification. “It does mean something. I am third party certified. A lot of people say they’re organic, but you drive by their fields and you don’t see cover crops growing, you don’t see them rotating crops as required under third party certification.”

as a form of insurance for the consumer.

“When it’s just up to you as a farmer, and nobody’s looking over your shoulder, you might use certain seeds that aren’t organic if nothing else is available, or because it costs three times as much.

Or maybe you’ll use seed treated with fungicide because it’s a variety you really like.” He figures monitoring works.

Yet some customers do not care.

Just about any Saturday you’ll find Paul Fitzgerald, chef and owner of Larrupin’ Café, at the farmers’ market loading up a wooden wagon with boxes of produce and flowers, often with help from with his daughter Harlan.

Fitzgerald said, “Pretty much everything we get for the restaurant is organic — and we get it here at the market.” He buys from certified and non-certified farms and doesn’t really differentiate between the two. “It doesn’t matter to me at all. I’ve been to all their farms; I’ve seen what they do. They’re honest people.”

Even if it doesn’t affect sales, some farmers go organic for other reasons.

Retired teachers Dave and Sharon Winnett are Neukom’s neighbors — at the market, they have the booth next door, and at home their certified organic

vineyard in Willow Creek is down the road from Neukom’s farm. Although their grapes are organic, their winery, Winnett Vineyards does not make organic wine.

They found controlling the intricacies of fermentation without using banned sulfites was just too difficult; there’s too much potential for failure.

For the Winnetts, organic certification of the vineyard doesn’t affect marketability; they process their own grapes and don’t sell any to other wineries. Dave Winnett said they simply prefer to be certified because “It makes a statement.”

Why jump through extra hoops and pay the yearly fee just to make a statement? Sharon Winnett recalls their pre-Humboldt days as schoolteachers in Illinois, deep in farm country. The Midwestern corn farmers all used the latest chemicals, including an herbicide from

Monsanto called Lasso that included yellow dye so you could see where it went.

“When farmers sprayed their fields, their tractors would be yellow. The roads would be yellow. The farmers would be yellow. We just knew that can’t be good,” she said.

Walk into the produce

section of the Arcata Safeway and the first thing you see is a large banner sign emblazoned with the USDA organic logo showing farmers harvesting carrots, kale, tomatoes and grapes. Bold letters declare, “Go organic! Prices are now lower.”

It hangs over a display of faux oldfashioned wooden crates. Nestled into shredded paper that sort of looks like hay are organic apples, plums, nectarines, lemons and oranges.

Safeway’s certified fruits and vegetables still costs more than conventional, but the price gap is shrinking. Conventional onions and oranges are $1.69 a pound; organic, they’re just 20 cents a pound more. Likewise with Roma tomatoes imported from Mexico: 20 cents per pound more for organic.

Struck by the success of Whole Foods and other natural food stores, Safeway has jumped on a bandwagon long occupied by stores like Eureka Natural Foods.

There, a large permanent sign on the wall

doesn’t want to go through the process of getting certified, but they still want to get that organic price.”

And he’ll only buy uncertified produce if he knows it was produced without pesticides. He labels it “local unsprayed,” he said, adding, “In a lot of cases local

unsprayed would be cleaner than say something from a 10,000-acre farm that’s certified organic.”

When Gagne started in the produce field in the 1960s, and even when he moved into natural foods in the early 1970s, “There were very few organic items available. There were no standards, no controls,” he said, taking a break from arranging shiny globes of organic purple cabbage.

There’s “a lot more integrity in the market now,” he said, and that’s insured by organic certification.

By late summer Gagne will get as much as 80 percent of his produce from local suppliers, but right now area farmers are just getting going, so he relies on suppliers like Earl’s Organic Produce, which brings in produce from all around California, and the larger, wider ranging Veritable Vegetable.

Some of his produce is imported, including limes and watermelons from Mexico and apples from Argentina and Chile. “They follow the same standards as here,” said Gagne, noting that many of the south-ofthe-border organic produce companies were started

by Americans who established farms there. Federal rules allow certified organic labeling if foreign growers are certified by their own government or by USDAaccredited certifying agents.

Just inside

the front gate of Organic Matters Ranch, on Myrtle Avenue tucked between Arcata and Eureka, a recently purchased feed silo rests on its side. Pieces of farm equipment in various states of disrepair line a driveway that runs past a metal barn. Farmer Johnny Gary is in the hoop greenhouse fiddling with an irrigation system for vegetable starts in vacuum seeded trays designed for use with a mechanical planter. “What will end up being 40 acres of produce starts in this 4,000-square-foot greenhouse,” he said.

Gary grows USDA certified organic produce, a lot of it, on his 100-acre ranch. He sells at three or four farmers’ markets a week, at a farm stand on his ranch and to Veritable Vegetable, which backhauls Humboldt produce after it delivers organic products to local natural food stores. Gary is also one of nine farmers paid to grow produce through the food bank’s “Locally Delicious Farm Fund.”

He has ambitious plans to do more. In addition to the pigs and chickens, Gary is raising sheep and goats, all for meat. He has an organic hay field and leases some land to an organic beef rancher; he’d like to get cattle of his own eventually. That’s where the silo comes in; it will allow him to store his own organic feed corn.

It’s all a work in progress, as is his take on how organic everything needs to be. While talking about it, he seemed to decide that it would not be too hard to certify his egg production, but he’s still on the fence when it comes to organic meat. He has a lot of unanswered questions, but he knows one thing for sure: the answers matter. l

Making Mary Jane Dance

Laura Muñoz choreographs Dell’Arte’s summer musical

By Stephanie Silvia dance@northcoastjournal.com

T

his is the show you have to see this summer. No excuses. Get on the phone. Go online. Get out the debit card. Reserve three or four tickets. You will have friends who will want to see it, too, but aren’t on it like you are. They’ll love you for it.

I’m talking about Mary Jane, The Musical, 2012, Dell’Arte’s kick-ass show from last summer, restaged, retooled and brought to you again at the Mad River Festival, opening Thursday, June 21, in Dell’Arte’s Rooney Amphitheatre in sunny Blue Lake.

Mary Jane, played by an earthy, raspy Joan Schirle, is Queen of the Emerald Ball, Diva of Sativa, Empress Kush. Through song, dance and dialogue, she leads an extraordinarily talented cast in telling the tale of marijuana’s coming of age. The story looks at its days as a way to fund alternate lifestyles in the late ‘60s, until the bucks got bigger and greed began sullying its counter-culture spring, and finally its potential legalization and looming corporate takeover.

When director Michael Fields wanted to do a show about marijuana, he invited local songwriters to write about the big cash crop of our collective neighborhood.

Lyrics covered diverse takes on different

aspects of the growing culture in a cavalcade of musical styles, ranging from blues to reggae to show tunes. A hot live band performs all the music: Tim Randles, Marla Joy, Mike LaBolle and David Perez rock.

Fields is working with a European form, concert performance, where music and dance drive the invention of characters and storyline. Once Fields had the songs, he started developing characters and dialogue. It was up to choreographer Laura Muñoz to create ensemble dances that would make the show click — and move.

Choreographing proscenium-staged, blockbuster numbers was a stretch for Muñoz. There is an organic thread throughout her personal work that borders on minimalist, the opposite of brassy, loud and showy. Being asked to choreograph several dance numbers would be daunting even for a musical theater pro.

Our girl totally nailed it with a brilliant fusion of popular archetypal and artistically substantial work.

The dances in MJ are genre-based, with nods to MTV, Broadway and movie musicals, Las Vegas revues and back-up dancers in Motown groups. Imagine trying to come up with a Supremes routine; seems easy enough, you’ve been practicing as Diana Ross’ back-up in the mirror since

kindergarten. An ABA, verse-chorus-verse song structure and not too many moves, a lot of repetition. No sweat. But, wait a sec — for a style to be imitated it has to be established, rooted in rhythmic patterns and nuances that the imitator truly understands. For the many musical genres in MJ, Muñoz first had to delve into the root of several popular styles of dance. Next, to get beyond imitation, she had to tweak each genre with her own stuff to make it fresh and meaningful for right now — and Muñoz rocked it. So do the dancers, who physically understand (with their moving bodies), each genre and the edge she has layered into the whole shebang.

At rehearsal in Blue Lake last week, Muñoz directed a run-through of The Industry, a metal song by Scott Menzies with lyrics exposing the dark underbelly of the pot business. During a break she talked about the choreography process, admitting, “I don’t like heavy metal at all. I went with it.” It being head-banging, hairthrowing, physically aggressive choreography that allows the characters to fully realize their dark side.

Next Muñoz worked with the cast on a new number, This Bud’s For You, also

by Menzies. Like the title implies, it’s an ingenious show tune weaving in familiar jingles, “I’d like to give the world a toke …” in a not-too-far-off fantasy world advertising the corporate branding of pot postlegalization. Muñoz guided cast members as they worked with a recorded version of the song, giving corrections as the dancers chimed in with their solutions to on-stage traffic jams and timing issues.

And OMG! Bollywood! When the cast came out last summer and performed Nuggy, Nuggy, Nuggy (yes, folks, you read that right), I almost fell out of my chair.

This number emulates a cast of hundreds hanging from balcony railings. How did she do it? Pratik Motwani, who plays Ravi, is from India. He helped. Beyond that, she said, “I open myself. I watched a couple of Bollywood movies. … I feel shameless. I attack any style and act like I know it.”

“Laura is a perfect fit,” said Fields.

“She’s worked with these guys before.

She’s made it work for all these bodies.”

He believes dance unifies things. “The activity of unity comes out of the movement … the ways bodies move with each other in space, more than any virtuosic dance movement. It’s the ensemble that makes it accessible.”

We all move. We all have the instrument. We can relate. A committed ensemble is the mainstay of physical theater.

This group moves seamlessly from one scene to the next, supporting each other’s characters throughout. It’s provocative,

entertaining and deliciously satisfying to experience such engaging performers, in work that is commentary on where we all live.

We are often reminded of how lucky we are to have Dell’Arte churning out remarkable stuff for us to see year after year in our very rural, out of the way backyard. Most important, Dell’Arte gives us “Theatre of Place.” Much of its work is about here, Humboldt, the redwoods, California. The company produces work wrought of our immediate physical and emotional landscape, strengthening our sense of community and bringing to the surface a psychic identity, helping us define ourselves as a group of humans sharing a small space on the planet. Way cool.

Outdoors as the dusk drops, the stars shine overhead, a musical about weed and Humboldt County, for heaven’s sake see it. The Dell’Arte Company presents Mary Jane: The Musical 2012, Thursdays through Sundays, June 21 through July 8.

Tickets: $18, $15 for student and seniors, $10 for under 12, online at dellarte.com, or from the box office, 707-668-5663. l

Summer Music

Radio Moscow, plus Crow Quill Night Owls, Steve Young, Operation Water Dragon, jazz and a contest

By Bob Doran

Radio Moscow photo by Robert Matheu

Y

ou may remember the psychedelic blues power trio Radio Moscow from the time they spent living in Humboldt. They relocated here from Iowa, where the band first came together. The fiery center of the band is guitarist Parker Griggs. In fact in the beginning, when he was still a 17-year-old, Radio Moscow was just him. Alive Naturalsound recently released 3 & 3 Quarters, a collection of previously unreleased tracks from his garage rock period, songs he recorded on his own, overdubbing drums, bass and guitar.

“I was into the Nuggets box sets and that mid-’60s sound,” he said, calling from his new home, a “rancho” in the woods near Red Bluff.

“I grew up with the whole grunge rock punk thing, then started getting into ’60s music and blues, looking into older styles different from the more depressing stuff I was into. The instrumental parts were more complex and more fun to play.”

When he moved from garage rock into wilder blues a la Hendrix and Cream, he started drawing more attention with his wailing guitar sound full of wild abandon. People wanted to hear him play live, so he put together a rhythm section and hit the road, eventually playing all over the United States and in Europe.

At the beginning of 2012, he had a new record, The Great Escape Of Leslie Magnafuzz, and a string of gigs to go with it. But at the start of the tour back home in Iowa, his bandmates rebelled and said they did not want to continue. Tempers flared. On day two of the tour the disagreement erupted onstage.

“Some stuff got thrown around on the last song,” said Griggs, who ended up getting his head cut open by a flying guitar. After he got stitched up, he fired his rhythm section, hired a new one and continued the tour.

Now it’s summer and he’s about to hit

the road again with his new sidemen, playing in two dozen states and in Canada between now and early August. This time, day two is a Monday show at the Jambalaya with Dirty Streets, a like-minded psyche/soul band out of Memphis. You can expect fireworks, but only in the music, not between the musicians.

Crow Quill Night Owls return to the Riverwood Inn Friday night playing what owner Loreen describes as “jug band music with a toss of crusty metal and Swedish punk.” Port Townsend-based guitarist Kit “Stymee” Stovepipe and tenor banjoist Windy City Alex are the core duo, with Baylin Adahere thumping washtub bass, and on some tours more friends who play jazzy, good-timey stringband music from the ’20s and ’30s.

New Wave punks The Skabbs were exploring new territory in the late ’70s when the band folded, sidetracked by the death of lead singer/songwriter Steve Salazar. Now, decades later, surviving members have reunited to tour in support of Idle Threat, an LP/CD of archival recordings released this spring by Portland’s Jackpot Records. Saturday The Skabbs hit Arcata for the first time, sharing a bill at the Alibi with Splinter Cell.

Local drum/dance troupe SambAmore expanded with a horn section and headed out a week ago on a mission dubbed Operation Water Dragon, a Northwest tour with good time reggae/pop/world music band Yogoman Burning Band. After playing festivals and clubs up north (to rave reviews), the tour hits Arcata Saturday for two shows at Humboldt Brews: all ages family show in the daytime; adults only at night.

You may not be familiar with songwriter Steve Young, but there’s a good chance you’ve heard his songs. Known as “Father of Americana,” the Georgia-born singer/guitar picker has a long storied career including a stint in the

20 North Coast Journal • Thursday, June 21, 2012 • northcoastjournal.com

’60s psychedelic country band Stone Country with Van Dyke Parks. I know his song “Seven Bridges Road” from Bonnie Raitt’s version — Joan Baez, Rita Coolidge, The Eagles and Dolly Parton all recorded it too. His tunes are on records by Waylon Jennings and Hank Williams Jr. among many others. Young is currently on the road with his son Jubal; their “Stories Round the Horseshoe Bend” tour sets down at the Arcata Playhouse Sunday evening.

Benbow Hotel kicks off another session of Jazz in June Thursday with Eureka-born keyboardist Easton Stuart playing jazz organ.

Friday trumpeter Sam Maez leads a quartet with his longtime bassist Geoff Daugherty.

Saturday’s it’s The Classic Quartet with the usual SoHum jazz suspects, guitarist Jim Wilde and drummer Michael Curran joining Maez and Daugherty with Stuart making it five on some songs. Sunday sax man Francis Vanek leads a quintet. More to come next weekend.

All shows are on the hotel terrace under the stars, a great place for jazz on a summer night.

Blues rock bar band NightHawk has been on hiatus of late while bassist player Eric Naslund had foot surgery; now he’s back, rocking a cast, and the band is putting him to work playing a bunch of shows this weekend. Friday and Saturday nights the band is at Cher-Ae Heights; Saturday during the day it’s two sets at Redwood Acres for the Made in Humboldt Fair — “made in Humboldt just like us,” says NightHawk vocalist Marcia Mendels.

Of course there’s music throughout the fair: Thursday you can see Thundercloud, 707 Band, Kendra Cook, Blues Vendetta, teen heart throbs 51 Cards and bluesman/songwriter Rick Park. Friday catch uke princess Lyndsey Battle, The Bayside Grange Music Project, Sybrina and The Daves Band, Reverbination, guitar wizard Todd Krider (side note: Krider is also featured at Monday’s Organic Open Mic

at Couple Cups) and the legendary Humboldt Harmonaires. Sybrina and Dave are back Saturday along with guitarist JD Jeffries “jam’n your faves,” some sort of samba thing, the two sets by NightHawk, and don’t miss Playhouse Arts’ mystical after dark fire/silk/lantern show, Elemental. Sunday’s music includes Arcata folky Caitlin Jemma, rock by Don’s Neighbors, 707 Band (again) and a West African drum/ dance group.

Summer has officially arrived (as of the solstice on June 20). To celebrate, your favorite vinyl DJs are throwing a “Soulstice” party at the Ocean Grove Saturday night, promising “funky music and dancing!” to discs spun by DJ Knutz, King Maxwell, Mantease, Jaymorg and Missing Men Matt N’ Adam.

Summer! OK. Let the sun shine and let the official summer festival season begin.

Local reggae and world music fans will be heading to Booneville this weekend for the Sierra Nevada World Music Festival, a star-studded gathering featuring reggae greats Third World (headlining Friday) Jimmy Cliff (Saturday) and Luciano (Sunday) along with many, many others including locals Jah Sun and AfroMassive.

Further south there’s the High Times 2012 Medical Cannabis Cup running Saturday and Sunday at Craneway Pavilion in Richmond. It’s mostly ganja-related panels and workshops and displays from med-pot shops (legal smokers should bring a 215 card), but there’s also the “Official High Times Medical Cannabis Cup Party” Saturday night with Del The Funky Homosapein among the musical acts.

Wanna go? The Journal has a bunch of tickets to give away so we’re having a little contest.

You know cannabis will eventually get past the current quasi-legal medical marijuana stage. Humboldt needs a plan for the future.

Branding will be über-important. With that in mind, we’re looking for a catchy (new) brand name for Humboldt-grown marijuana. Got one? The grand prize winner gets two tickets to an opening weekend performance of Dell’Arte’s Mary Jane: The Musical (details on the show elsewhere in this paper), plus a stylish Mary Jane T-shirt. Second and third prize winners, and runners up, get tickets to the Cannabis Cup. We are assembling a panel of celebrity experts to judge the contest. All they need is something to judge: Post your original brand name on the Journal blog or our Facebook page before noon Friday. Winners announced soon thereafter.

COURTESY OF HUMBOLDT MADE

FERRIS WHEEL ON THE MIDWAY

All Things Humboldt

This week, North Coasters are invited to year two of the rebranded Humboldt Made Fair — formerly the Redwood Acres Fair. The four-day event (Thursday, June 21 through Sunday, June 24) will again take on the daunting, self-imposed task of trying to pull together all the non-weedy aspects of Humboldt livin’. An abundance of local products, foods and performers will be celebrated, along with standard fair fare (i.e. carnival midway rides, live stock shows and must-have cotton candy).

But each day of the fair also contains unique special events, and we like special things the most (mainly due to the specialness). Thus: THURSDAY: As with every day of the fair, gates open at 10 a.m., but Thursday’s added value comes from the fact that admission is free until 3 p.m.

(For the rest of the week it’s $10/$5 for kids 6-12 and seniors over 60. The littlest ones get a free ride all week.) At 6 p.m. that night, two-wheel enthusiasts can enjoy a BMX Bike Show to inspire young daredevils/scare parents.

FRIDAY: You know what’s easier than tromping through the jungle with a pair of binoculars to try to catch a far-off, fleeting glimpse of a colorful macaw? Sitting on some bleachers with a corn dog in one hand and a dollar bill in the either while one flies at you. The exotic bird show starts at 4 p.m., folks.

How hard is it to get a bevy of screaming young girls together these days? Can someone assemble that? Friday night entertainment is highlighted at 9:30 p.m. by local teen alt. rock heartthrobs The

51 Cards. Not one of the member’s Facebook pages I crept around on indicates girlfriends. So, go get ‘em, ladies.

SATURDAY: If you didn’t get enough Kineticness over Memorial Day weekend, you’ll want to head over to the Redwood Acres Raceway at 2:06 p.m. for the Kinetic 500, thrown together by the Humboldt Kinetic Association — the Justin Hobart Brown-led branch of the local kinetic universe. Unlike the multi-terrain, three-day slog that is the “Kinetic Grand Championship,” this “Kinetic Sculpture Race” is “mono-terrain” — we’re only dealing with race track pavement here — and has no tolerance for pesky right turns. So there.

As the sun goes down, the fairgrounds will morph Mardi Gras-ish courtesy of Elemental, an outdoor spectacle put together by Playhouse Arts, Synapsis, Nightshade Serenade and members of Bandamonium. You want giant puppets? You got it. Amazing aerial feats? Deal. Eye-demanding fire performers?

They’ll be burnin’ for ya.

SUNDAY: If you were trying to decide which day to wear your cowboy hat to the fair … the week ends in the Chabot Arena with the traditional Exceptional Rodeo for special needs kids at 10:30 a.m. and a equestrian performance by the Redwood Coast Jumpers at 1:30 p.m. Yeehaw, as it were.

For a complete schedule to this year’s fair events, well, we had a real nice one in last week’s Journal — geez, why didn’t you save that? Sigh. OK, I guess you’ll have to roll on over to humboldtmade.com.

They’re nice too.

Too Big for Words

The word, “festival” seems too brief to describe the month o’ marvel that’s gracing Blue Lake this summer. Even Oktoberfest, the festiest of fests, only lasts for two weeks. Dell’Arte’s Michael Fields said, however, that even if a longerish word were available, the Mad River Festival is too much of a tradition to lengthen.

Now in its 22nd year, the festival shall commence this Thursday, June 21, with the return of Mary Jane: The Musical. Writer and producer Fields said that this year’s version of the marijuana musical is even doper, with new songs and a more pronounced plotline (potline?).

The show is outside, in Dell’Arte’s Rooney Ampitheatre, and the crowd can get pretty raucous, said Fields, making it in some ways more like a concert than a play. “You’re not having to sit quiet in a dark box,” he said.

Fans have 12 opportunities to indulge, with nightly shows Thursday through Sunday for three weeks in a row. Although the play is completely about weed, it’s kid friendly, said Fields — no language or nudity to sully its PG-purity. Plays are good. Get ‘em started young.

If weed doesn’t tickle your bones, check out Exit 101, a show all about end-of-life choices. Although that sounds deeply depressing, Dell’Arte’s founding artistic drector, Joan Shirle, said that the play is actually pretty dang funny, and it raises important points about those terminal times. Audiences leave feeling uplifted, she said — a Where the Red Fern Grows sort of thing.

The Fish in My Head is a lighter-hearted affair. “It’s about the power of the imagination to transcend rational profit-seeking,” said Shirle.

The fight-the-man comedy is for kids, and features seven actors, who will don costumes and perform acrobatics including, but not limited to: somersaults, stilt-walking and leaping. Shirle said, however, do not expect live animals.

Another sure sell-out is the Red Light in Blue Lake, in which mostly-clothed adults watch mostlyunclothed adults perform various titillating acts. One year, said Shirle, before the meat dress was even a twinkle in Lady Gaga’s eye, a performer covered her body with bologna, and then someone ate the bologna off of her. This is troubling. Why not bacon?

Special guests Bada Bling! Burlesque from Southern Humboldt will bring a dazzling array of song, dance and possibly sandwich meats to this year’s Red Light. Again, buy early, because this show always sells out.

Topping off the whole extravaganza is the 34th Annual Humboldt Folklife Festival, which runs from July 13 through July 21st. If you’re hankerin’ for a barn dance, this is your chance. The fest also includes plenty of jam sessions, concerts and theme nights, and ends with an all-day free festival centered around the Dell’Arte ampitheatre. Road people will close the road, and fest people will haul hay bales out into the street so that festgoers can rest their weary bottoms while listening to music.

Every festival needs a feel-good climax. The Mad River-Humboldt Folklife mega-fest ends on a high note with a Beatles sing-along. “Ob-la-di, ob-la-da,” “Yellow Submarine,” and “Let it Be,” are all likely to be on the playlist, so start practicing now.

Texas Charmer

Jack Black delivers a virtuoso performance while Rock sinks and Sandler stays lowbrow

By John J. Bennett filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

BERNIE. Jack Black has finally gotten himself a role he can be proud of. Not since High Fidelity (2000), his name-maker, has he been able to sink his teeth in and showcase his triple-threat capabilities. As Bernie Tiede, a small-town Texas funeral director, his comic timing and everyman emotionality really shine. And since he has the pipes of one of Satan’s angels, it’s heartwarming to see him croon some show tunes and hymns.

Bernie tells the bittersweet, true tale of a well-liked mortician in Carthage, Texas, who enters into a confusing, airless relationship with a wealthy, cantankerous widow. After a promising start, the friendship cools, goes sour and ends badly.

Drawing on a magazine piece by Skip Hollandsworth, who co-wrote the screenplay, director/co-writer Richard Linklater builds the movie as part-narrative, part faux-documentary, with actors convincingly portraying Carthage citizens and addressing the camera directly. At heart, this is a compact little character study about a likeable but inscrutable man driven to violence even he doesn’t understand.

Linklater (Dazed and Confused, Before Sunrise, Waking Life) refuses to be pigeonholed. I may not like everything he makes, but he continues to surprise me, and Bernie may be his biggest surprise yet. Stylistically, it is methodical and restrained. The characters tell the story, which is consummately simple and concise. Small-town east Texas becomes a perfect, self-contained backdrop for the story, which Linklater and his actors populate with folksy, funny personalities. But it wouldn’t add up to much without Black’s charming, emotionally nuanced performance. He’s called upon to carry the movie, and he does it with aplomb. P.S. Buy Tenacious D’s new album Rize of the Fenix. Buy two. PG13. 104m.

ROCK OF AGES. I’m no fan of traditional musicals, and despite the hair-metal soundtrack, musicals don’t get much more traditional than this. Add to that an air of sterility, subtract the nostalgia I’m supposed to have but don’t, and I’m left pretty cold.

For me, the only redeeming factor of the music celebrated in Rock of Ages is that that it was recorded by lecherous drunks and junkies. Even if their songs are insipid, at least their real lives were/are filled with storied rock n’ roll indulgence. My appreciation for that type of excess tempers the fact that the hair-metal anthems of the 1980s sound like eighth grade diary entries set to power chords (see just about anything by Bon Jovi, Poison, or — sorry, almost every girl I’ve ever known — Journey). If you strip away the by now bluelipped, regretful, foul and amazing lives of the rockers, you get this: a squeaky-clean, antiseptic non-rock attempt to pay homage to a place and time of terrible Dionysian excess.

Rock centers on The Bourbon, a vaunted but long-suffering Sunset Strip rock club operated by a shaggy, seen-better-days rock warrior, played with the ironic brilliance we expect from Alec Baldwin. He’s banking on a one-off, sold-out show by rock monolith Arsenal to let him pay his tax bill and keep the club solvent. But a fame-glazed front man (Tom Cruise), rapacious management, a Christian mother’s league on the war path, and a bunch of lame romances stand in the way. Foremost and lamest of those romances: unconvincing singer-boy Drew Boley (Diego Boneta, wearing perhaps the worst rocker name ever) claps eyes and haunches on Tulsa new-girl Sherrie Christian (Julianne Hough).

She or may not have dallied with Arsenal’s aforementioned messed-up, baboon-owning singer. Whither goes the Bourbon?

Cruise deserves credit for his performance as degenerate superstar Stacee Jaxx. (He’s the messed-up singer with the baboon). With his trademark acuity, Cruise fully commits to the part and elevates everybody with whom he shares scenes. But even his tremendous charisma and intensity can’t save Rock of Ages from being overlong, maudlin and humorless. PG13. 123m.

THAT’S MY BOY. For some reason, I seem unable to hate late-period Adam Sandler movies as much as I’m supposed to. I know as well as anyone that they aim

book How to Build An Android: The True Story of Philip K. Dick’s Robotic Resurrection

by David F. Dufty - Henry Holt

JACK BLACK IN BERNIE

for the basest kind of laughs and that they often fall well below the worst bad taste.

That’s My Boy is no exception, and I again find myself feeling more nonplussed than upset by it.

Sandler plays precocious Donny Berger who, as a pre-teen, has an affair with — and impregnates — his implausibly gorgeous math teacher. The state throws the book at her, sentencing her to 30 years in prison and leaving our pubescent Casanova to raise their son. For a while he enjoys a certain degree of wealth and notoriety, but both evaporate quickly.

Fast forward almost three decades: Donny’s son, whose real and really awesome name is Han Solo Berger (Andy Samberg), has severed their ties, changed his name to Todd, and set out on a successful career in finance. On the eve of his son’s wedding, Donny is facing incarceration for nonpayment of income taxes. So he sets out to sweet-talk his boy out of $50,000 or so. Intermittently gross and cloyingly emotional complications ensue.

Like last year’s similarly reviled Jack and Jill, Sandler’s latest trades on crude sex humor and celebrity cameos for much of its impact. This outing delves deeper into raunchiness and naughty language, trying awfully hard to earn its hard-R rating. But like all of Sandler’s movies, That’s My Boy has a good heart about it. It’s not as funny as it could/should be, and the jokes that work are pretty dumb ones. But I think this is exactly the movie Sandler and Co. set out to make, so to criticize it as anything else would be pointless, and maybe a little pretentious. R. 114m.

Previews

BRAVE. From Pixar, the undisputed masters of computer animation, comes the tale of Princess Merida, a brazen young redhead (Is that redundant?) who defies an age-old tradition, thereby violating the kingdom’s gender-based stereotypes. You go, girl. PG. 93m.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER. The title pretty much says it. Before emancipating the slaves, 16 slayed some blood suckers — or so posits this action-thriller from Russian director Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted, Nightwatch). R. 105m.

SEEKING A FRIEND FOR THE END OF THE WORLD. Steve Carell stars as a mildmannered schlub forced to reexamine his life under the shadow of a massive, Earthbound meteor. Maybe a road trip with his hottie neighbor (Keira Knightly) will help him feel better. R. 100m.

On Friday, Donnie Darko (2001) comes skulking into the Arcata Theatre Lounge wearing his Trayvon Martin hoodie. Richard Kelly’s elliptical supernatural thriller, which has become something of a cult classic, stars Jake Gyllenhaal as a troubled teen suffering visions of a prophetic, apocalyptic man-bunny. Yeah, that old chestnut. R. 113m. 9 p.m. That’s it for movies at the ATL over the next week. Why? Let’s just say we’ve got one more reason to hate LeBron James.

Continuing

THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL. British retirees head for India, where the tea, crumpets and indoor plumbing aren’t quite up to snuff. Starring Judi Dench, Maggie Smith and Bill Nighy. PG13. 124m.

DARK SHADOWS. Johnny Depp and Tim Burton follow the law of diminishing returns with this lackluster adaptation of a 1960s soap opera. PG13. 113m.

MADAGASCAR 3: EUROPE’S MOST WANTED. Top-notch voice talent and clever sight gags distinguish the continuing slapstick adventures of these goofy zoo fugitives. PG. 85m.

MEN IN BLACK III. Will Smith is back as Agent J, the smack-talkin’ government agent sent to dispatch diabolical aliens.

Third time around is amusing, but nothing to write your home planet about. PG13.

107m.

PROMETHEUS. Ridley Scott’s compelling prequel (or is it?) to Alien features breathtaking visuals and strong performances, especially Michael Fassbender’s as an android with the mannerisms of Lawrence of Arabia. R. 124m.

SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN. This visually stylish adaptation of the Brothers Grimm tale suffers from an underdeveloped plot. Plus, the dwarfs aren’t even real! PG13. 127m.

—Ryan Burns l

Blade Runner has become an iconic film since its unsuccessful 1982 release. Its source was a novel by Philip K. Dick, a highly productive California-based science fiction writer from the 1950s until his death in 1982 who inspired generations of other writers, notably fellow West Coasters William Gibson, Ursula LeGuin and Kim Stanley Robinson.

As in Blade Runner, many of Dick’s stories involved androids and “replicants,” and the resulting confusions of identification and identity. Such themes made him a particular favorite among the sci-fi minded in computer, robotics and artificial intelligence fields.

One of these was David Hanson, who a decade ago was startling people with his android-ready heads featuring life-like skin that internal motors could shape into realistic facial expressions. Another was Andrew Olney, who was programming robots capable of having realistic conversations as learning aids. When they met in 2004, the strange idea to create a Philip K. Dick android was born. In a year, it was a reality.

But even though a university lab became involved, as well as the FedEx Institute of Technology in Memphis (the head of which once conducted his meetings in a Star Trek officer’s uniform on Halloween), this complex project was accomplished with very little money mostly by Hanson and Olney, propelled primarily by their imaginations. Author David F. Dufty, himself a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Memphis when this was going on, tells a good story about the ups and downs, ins and outs of the project, which in addition to startling success includes some goofy mishaps — culminating in the conclusion which makes this almost mythic.

For Philip K. Dick was also famous for writing about government and other conspiracies, and for believing they existed in the real world. (Then again, Watergate revelations in the ‘70s proved that the government really had been spying on people like him.) So the threads of the story come together in one stranger than fiction event: On a flight to San Francisco for a demonstration at Google headquarters, his android head was left behind in an overhead bin, and was never found.

With minimal jargon, Dufty makes the tech as well as the personalities part of the story flow, an admirable example for a growing genre covering a dominating industry: adventures in Tech World. He ably and appropriately integrates Philip K. Dick’s biography and major works into the story. The story itself confirms the classic relationship of sci-fi and new tech, as well as suggesting how surprisingly far toward the androids of fiction current technology is taking us. In focusing on Hanson (basically a sculptor and a hardware tinkerer) and Olney (a software guy) he chronicles another relationship of art and science. Fascinating.

cd Falling Off the Sky

By The dB’s - Bar/ None Records

In late ‘79, The dB’s, a New Jersey-based pop quartet, released their debut 7-inch single, “Black and White” b/w “Soul Kiss,” on Alan Betrock’s label, Shake; Betrock was the editor of the late-great ‘70s music ‘fanzine New York Rocker. The dB’s song was packed with lo-fi energy: ringing 12-string guitars, a tinny lead riff and explosive drum parts combined to break from the conventions of pop rock at the time. Led by two strong yet distinct songwriters, Chris Stamey and Peter Holsapple, The dB’s went on to release only two excellent records together before Stamey left the band he founded for a solo career. Holsapple valiantly continued the band for several more official releases, yet they lacked the counterpoint, the contrast and spark that the Stamey-Holsapple rivalry provided.

Though the two co-leaders have collaborated on joint recordings since the band’s demise, it’s taken 30 years for the original line-up to reunite. Their new full-length, Falling Off the Sky, is a superb joint effort. As expected, The dB’s, including bassist Gene Holder and drummer/vocalist Will Rigby, have all matured, maintaining a life close to the music that helped form them. But what’s surprising is how well the quartet has again coalesced as a unit — with an ease and a finessed sense of musicianship, production and songwriting. They all brought their A-game to the table and Falling Off the Sky is flush with some of Stamey’s and Holsapple’s finest songs.

Holsapple leads off with a garage-pop nugget, “That Time is Gone.” It’s prophetic, with Holsapple singing in a Dylan-like sneer, “You better wake up, wake up. That time is gone.” Later in the record, he counters with his strongest offering, “I Didn’t Mean to Say That,” a testament to the “last laugh” of a strained relationship, blanketed in a lush Carol King/ Brill Building accompaniment.

Stamey’s compositions are often tinged with a bittersweet longing for the past. “Far Away and Long Ago” with its melancholic string quartet arrangement hinting at Big Star’s ill-fated Third/ Sister Lovers album and The Beatles’ “Eleanor Rigby,” feels like an elegant farewell to Big Star’s late eccentric front-man (Stamey played bass for Alex Chilton in NYC, in ‘77). On the album’s most majestic cut, “Tell Me Something Real,” Stamey sings of loss over a wall of ringing guitars, “Tell me something real ‘cause I don’t remember how it feels to be free … and pure.”

In contrast to the band’s past, The dB’s are propelled with an anxious tension and less eager in deconstructing pop songs. As a result, Falling Off the Sky is simply that. It’s a jump-off point for a band that isn’t bothered about expectations, simply satisfied in creating a downpour of crafted pop songs.

Six Puzzles

By Barry Evans

S

fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com tart off your summer, June 20, 5:09 pm PDT, with a dash of brain lubrication. I remind myself that these oldie-but-goodie chestnuts are new to every generation.

Like jokes, their origination is lost in the mists of time.

1. In your basement are three unmarked light switches, all of them currently in the OFF position. Each switch controls one of three different tungsten lamps on the floor above. How can you determine which switch goes to which lamp with just one trip upstairs? (Look for the “aha” clue!)

2. Three hats marked “black-black,” “white-white,” and “black-white” originally contained two black balls, two white balls, and one of each, but someone switched the labels so each hat is now incorrectly labeled. Without looking into the hats, you can take out one ball at a time. How again and use it to top up the 3-gallon pail, leaving 4 gallons. More prosaically, 4 = 5 - [3 - (5 - 3)] 4. 1 in 3. The possibilities are older girl-younger girl, older girl-younger boy, older boy-younger girl, older boy-younger boy (GG-GB-BG-BB). The second answer eliminates BB, leaving three possibilities, only one of which is GG. 5. 1 in 2. Of the four possibilities GG-GB-BGBB, #3 and #4 are eliminated by the answer to the second question, leaving two possibilities, only one of which is GG. Interesting, isn’t it, that knowing the birth order changes the odds?

Diagram. Starting at a vertex, one solution is 1-5-9-2-4-8-3-6-7. (The sum of the digits 1 to 9 is 45; and the sum of the digits on each of the three sides is 3 x 17 = 51, with each vertex being counted twice. So the sum of the vertexes is 51 - 45 = 6, giving 1-2-3 for the vertexes — then it’s easy.)

Field notes

many drawings do you need to figure out the contents of each hat?

3. You’ve got a 5-gallon pail, a 3-gallon pail, and unlimited water. How can you put four gallons of water in the 5-gallon bucket?

(Assume for the next two puzzles that every birth has a 50/50 chance of being either a boy or a girl.)

4. Q: How many children do you have?

A: Two. Q: Is one of them a girl? A: Yes. What is the probability that the other child is a girl?

5. Q: How many children do you have?

A: Two. Q: Is the older one a girl? A: Yes. What is the probability that the other child is a girl? l Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo. com) is still trying to puzzle his way out of the Box of Life.

1. Turn one switch on and leave it on for two minutes. Turn it off. Turn a second switch on and run upstairs. The warm bulb of one of the two “off” lamps corresponds to the first switch.

And of course, the “on” lamp corresponds to the switch you left on. (I specified “tungsten” because it stays warm, unlike CFLs.) 2. One. Pick a ball out of the B-W hat. If it’s white, then this hat contains two white balls (it can’t contain one each black and white, since it’s incorrectly labeled). So the hat labeled W-W must contain two black balls, and the hat labeled B-B contains one of each. Vice versa if you draw a black ball.

3. Fill the 5-gallon pail and pour it into the 3-gallon pail, leaving 2 gallons in the 5-gallon pail.

Empty the 3-gallon pail and pour the 2 gallons from the other pail into it. Fill the 5-gallon pail
