allow for placement of a 374-foot-long, 10-foot-wide barrier-separated trail lane.

The proposed southern alignment would run from the river crossing to the Crannell Road area of Clam Beach County Park. This stretch would also run within Caltrans’ right-of-way except for a brief diversion into Little River State Park to avoid a dune hollow. The proposal also includes a trail loop that would separate equestrians and hikers from bicyclists and a spur providing coastal and estuary access.

It will not be cheap. The bridge crossing alone is estimated to cost $2.5 million and the trail extension’s total cost could reach $4.5 million. And finding an agency willing to take responsibility for the trail’s operation and maintenance, a step that has to be taken before funding is secured, is proving to be a challenge.

Sungnome Madrone, a main participant in the development of the Hammond Trail and one of the consultants who worked on the feasibility study, said Caltrans would be the appropriate trail operator.

The trail development process can get rolling “as soon as Caltrans comes to grips with the fact that they are responsible for taking on maintenance of the Little River Trail,” he said.

Madrone said Caltrans is the logical

A

one-mile extension of the Hammond Trail’s north end took a key step forward recently, but a lack of funding and debate about who would maintain the new trail is holding up the process.

The “Little River Trail,” which would extend Hammond Trail from its current terminus at Clam Beach County Park across Little River to the south end of Trindad’s Scenic Drive, has been in planning stages since the late 1980s. The project advanced with completion of a trail feasibility study last year and the April purchase of a 14acre Green Diamond Resource Company parcel by the nonprofit Trinidad Coastal Land Trust.

The parcel, which lies just south of Moonstone Beach and to the west of U.S. Highway 101, had been the only privately held parcel in the planned trail’s corridor and allows coastal and Little River estuary access. A $90,000 federal and state grant enabled the purchase.

A state-funded feasibility study prepared by the Redwood Community Action Agency (RCAA) proposes that the extension’s northern half mile would run in the Caltrans right-of-way parallel to Highway 101 from the southern end of Scenic Drive to the Little River Bridge.

choice since most of the trail will run through its right-of-way and the project would address the “unmitigated impacts” the agency’s Highway 101 and Little River Bridge construction have had on nonmotorized transportation.

“How we would make it happen is through public pressure,” Madrone continued.

But Caltrans is only agreeing to maintain the trail’s bridge crossing. When asked about the likelihood of the agency taking on overall maintenance, Caltrans Region One Public Information Officer Myles Cochrane said, “That’s not going to happen.” continued on next page

He added that “maintenance would be up to the county and that’s traditionally how it happens.”

The county’s Department of Public Works contributes to maintenance of the Hammond Trail but its commitments to the McKay Community Forest and the Arcata-Eureka and Annie and Mary trail projects make taking on additional responsibilities improbable in the near-term.

Don Allan, a Trinidad Coastal Land Trust board member and the senior project manager of RCAA’s Natural Resources Division described the Little River Trail as a “great addition” to the Hammond Trail.

He acknowledged that other trail projects, such as the Humboldt Bay Trail and the Annie and Mary Trail in Blue Lake, are considered as area priorities.

“But one thing about the Little River Trail is that it does not have to contend with the [North Coast Railroad Authority] and that’s why we’re quietly telling people that the Little River Trail is ready to be built,” he said. “We have no obstacles and all we need is public support and funding.”

Madrone estimated that once a maintenance agency is designated, it would take from five to seven years to build and open the trail.

Funding for further design work, permitting and construction is another uncertainty. Sections of the Hammond Trail and Eureka’s Hikshari Trail were funded by voter-approved bond propositions but that source is almost fully tapped.

Federal Transportation Development Act funding is a potential source and already pays much of the bill for Hammond Trail upkeep. But according to the feasibility study, its trail-funding capacity may diminish as other transportation needs emerge.

Another federal source, the Active Transportation Program, is administered by the state and the feasibility study identifies the support of the California Coastal Conservancy as an important element of gaining its funds.

The conservancy is already invested in the project, as it provided 60 percent of the grant funding for the land trust purchase.

Peter Jarausch, the conservancy’s Little River Trail project manager, said his agency is “definitely interested in helping out,” as the trail furthers the goal of completing the statewide California Coastal Trail.

“But my impression is that there are other stretches of the California Coastal Trail that the county is prioritizing more,” he added.

Madrone said the purchase of the Moonstone Beach parcel was a promising development. “Thirty years ago, I promised myself I wouldn’t retire until the Hammond Trail is built all the way to Trinidad and this is a significant step forward,” he said. l Daniel Mintz is a freelance journalist based in Eureka who has been reporting news in Humboldt County since 2001.

OFFICERS FOUND THIS WATER STORAGE BLADDER DURING RECENT MULTIAGENCY MARIJUANA RAIDS ON EIGHT PROPERTIES IN THE ISLAND MOUNTAIN AREA. COURTESY OF THE HUMBOLDT COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE

MARIJUANA

Sheriff: $26 Million Marijuana Bust

The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office served search warrants on eight properties during the course of its weeklong Island Mountain raids recently, and reported seizing or eradicating 23,000 plants, 4,000 pounds of marijuana, 15 pounds of hash, 16 guns and 50,000 rounds of ammunition from seven of the properties. The office estimates that was $26 million worth of marijuana. No arrests were made.

A woman at the eighth raided property was found to be in compliance with Proposition 215. The sheriff’s office said it’s working to figure out who owns the properties in question — located in in the southeastern part of the county — and to identify potential suspects. As reported in the June 25 Week in Weed, at least one of the properties served by the sheriff’s office was that of a donor to California Cannabis Voice Humboldt, the policy group that proposed a draft ordinance to regulate cultivation this week.

Humboldt Celebrates Love

“When I was 7 years old, my mother told me that sooner or later the United States was going to have to recognize gay marriage. I am 78 now. I have been crying and laughing all morning.”

Ginger Olsen has been with her partner Diana Livingston for 22 years. They married in the state of California last year. On June 26 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that

states cannot ban gay marriage, meaning the couple’s partnership must be legally recognized across the United States.

Olsen describes herself as “walking about 3 feet off the ground.” She says that many people asked them why they decided to have a legal ceremony after being together for so long.

“It was the fact that we could. We felt that it was necessary to underline that the law says we can. The funny part is that we felt totally different after we got married, and I’ve heard that from lots and lots of gay couples,” says Olsen. “We did not expect to feel differently, but with the very act of marriage, we became kinder to each other, we felt relaxed. As far as touching us personally, what it really means is I don’t have to make a big deal out of us anymore. We’re equal.”

The court decision has some practical implications for local couples, as well.

Todd Larsen, a local business owner and member of Queer Humboldt, says that in the past he and his husband have been nervous about traveling to one of the 14 states where their marriage was not recognized. If one of them had been hospitalized, the other may not have been allowed visitation. Married couples who relocate for work or other reasons can be assured that their legal status will be upheld no matter where in the country they settle.

north of the Bayshore Mall on June 24 died after being transported to the hospital, according to Eureka police. Kenneth Lee Eldeen was found by medical personnel and police officers who were called to the area around 9 p.m.

A press release indicated that investigators were treating Eldeen’s death as suspicious, and had interviewed several people who resided in the greenbelt area near where Eldeen was found. Police Sgt. K. Howden told the Journal that the death could be “medical in nature” and an autopsy is scheduled. She added there is nothing to indicate that residents should be concerned for their safety.

Eldeen was born in 1969, Howden said, and was 45 or 46 years old.

Camp on, Camp off

Police Chief Andy Mills denied Monday that his department is wholly scrapping plans to create a temporary city-sanctioned campsite for Eureka’s homeless.

Instead, Mills said, the plan has been put “on a back burner.”

“We ran into several issues with oversight and funding. Unfortunately, this is just one of those deals where it’s tough to get it done effectively,” said Mills. In previous presentations to the city council, Mills has said that while the issue of homelessness is a societal problem rather than a police problem, he supports a temporary sanctioned camp to alleviate the negative impacts of illegal camping and provide a continued on page 12

safe place for the city’s homeless.

Eureka Community Development Director Robert Holmlund confirmed that he and his department are continuing to search for a place for a sanctioned camp, and are currently in dialogue with the California Coastal Commission about some proposed sites.

Holmlund said that his committee is evaluating a number of different criteria for the proposed site, including ease of access, neighborhood and environmental concerns. Wherever the camps are ultimately located, if they come to fruition, Holmlund said an outside agency should provide oversight, adding that city workers don’t have the necessary experience.

A temporary “sanctuary camp” is crucial to the third step of a four-part strategy developed by Mills and city staff.

“Operation Clean Sweep” would initiate the removal of homeless people from existing camps, sending them to a sanctioned camp before they were housed using the rapid re-housing model a city consultant, Focus Solutions, determined is the best solution.

Mills and Holmlund have both said that while the search for a camp site continues, more energy is being focused on implementing the rapid re-housing model, specifically the repurposing of the Multiple Assistance Center. As of July 1, Mills said, the center should be able to accommodate 40 individuals, but could expand to meet the needs of up to 100.

For the time being, Mills said his officers will not be issuing citations for illegal camping, will not be “clearing out” entrenched encampments such as the

one behind the Bayshore Mall, and will be contacting individuals on a complaintdriven basis, or for specific issues such as drugs, weapons and violence.

In a phone call, City Manager Greg Sparks expressed a more pessimistic opinion about the sanctuary camp model, saying the idea has been greatly “deprioritized” and effectively removed from “Operation Clean Sweep.” He also said the city will become “much more aggressive” with the cleanups, working with the Sheriff’s Work Alternative Program to make weekly visits to entrenched illegal camps.

Although SWAP and city employees will not be taking down tents, occupants will be given notice to vacate three days in advance of the city’s visit, and belongings left behind will be disposed of.

Mills said that he is continuing to research evidence-based practices that have been proven to be effective against homelessness. The rapid-rehousing approach “does seem to have a lot of impact,” he said, but the jury is out as to whether it reduces the overall homeless population. Other proposed solutions, such as sanctuary camps and the tiny house village AHHA has suggested, may not have a body of evidence to support the cost of creating and maintaining them, but Mills indicated there may be a gap between philosophy and strategy in this case.

“How do you put a cost on a humanistic approach to people, to human dignity?” he asked.

Pot PAC unveils its marijuana cultivation ordinance

P.S. Email jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

By Grant Scott-Goforth

I

n a trio of bombastic speeches on the Humboldt County Courthouse steps this week, members of California Cannabis Voice Humboldt revealed the final draft of an ordinance that seeks to regulate outdoor marijuana growing in the county.

The tone was grandiose. Flanked by 80 or so seeming supporters and a handful of local media, CCVH co-founder Luke Bruner talked about nations slipping into insolvency, quoted Harvey Milk (“Come out!”) and called the announcement of the draft ordinance a “great victory for this community.”

After saying that the proposed land use regulation would address domestic violence issues associated with the marijuana industry, Bruner compared the plight of cannabis farmers to that of slaves — “you have nothing to lose but your chains and your shame,” he said, to rousing applause.

CCVH board member Patrick Murphy thanked Sheriff Mike Downey and District Attorney Maggie Fleming, mentioned salmon-safe cannabis, and said the group would now be reaching out to environmentalists, “who are our friends and partners in this.”

So what is in this panacea for all of society’s marijuana-associated ills?

The final draft of CCVH’s land use ordinance — which seeks to regulate outdoor cultivation on county parcels larger than 5 acres — would principally permit existing grow sites with canopies of up to 6,000 square feet, meaning growers would be free to plant as long as they get a business license, applicable state permits if they are diverting water or cutting trees, and pass an inspection by the county agricultural commissioner’s office. Existing grows with canopies of up to 10,000 square feet would be treated similarly. New grows and those with canopies larger than 10,000 square feet would require a conditional use permit, to be issued at the discretion of the county planning commission through a public process.

The ordinance also includes a provision that would allow existing grow operations two years to correct any code violations and come into full compliance, and others that would prohibit cultivation sites within 600 feet of a school, bus stop, public park, church or Native American cultural site.

It would also designate the Humboldt County Agricultural Commissioner’s Office as the regulating body for marijuana grows. The office would be responsible for yearly site visits, where it would be ex-

pected to determine whether growers are complying with state environmental laws, are using legal pesticides, are within the canopy size restrictions, have a security plan and a valid business license, among other things.

CCVH is pushing the proposal forward as an ordinance initiative, which means if it gets enough valid signatures from registered voters — 7,430 — in support of the ordinance, it can force the board of supervisors to either pass it directly as written or call a special election to let voters decide its fate. The ordinance is scheduled to come before the board of supervisors July 7, after which CCVH will offer a 45-day “public comment period,” where it will seek feedback through its website before finalizing the language and seeking the required signatures.

But, despite Murphy’s olive branch to the environmentalists during his June 30 speech, concerns about the draft ordinance haven’t changed much from a series of early stakeholder meetings, in which environmental groups complained that the size restrictions were too lax and that allowing cultivation on timber production zones would lead to destruction of timberlands. Those groups say

their voices still aren’t being heard.

CCVH rose to prominence in the last year, seizing on a time of renewed interest in local and state marijuana laws and a sense of urgency spurred by looming legalization. The organization touted its speedy fundraising in the cannabis industry, gathering tens of thousands of dollars at rural meetings, and promised that it was the face of growers who wanted to come out of the shadows.

Early in 2015, the group announced it would write an ordinance governing outdoor cultivation and invited dozens of stakeholders from areas of industry, law and conservation. But after the first couple of meetings and the ensuing revisions to the draft ordinance, stakeholders in the environmental community got frustrated, saying their concerns weren’t being addressed.

“We stopped engaging when it became clear that this was a process set up to protect and legitimize the very operations that are doing harm,” said Dan Ehresman, the executive director of the Northcoast Environmental Center.

Natalynne DeLapp, executive director of the Environmental Protection Information Center, was also bothered that, after a couple of initial public stakeholder meetings, the environmental community was never invited back into the ordinance’s draft process.

In EPIC’s eye, the draft’s allowance of marijuana cultivation on Timber Production Zone (TPZ) parcels is most problematic. That could fragment habitats, she said, breaking up large, intact pieces of forest lands as properties are subdivided and bought up by cannabis farmers.

“Is this what we want?” she asked.

“More big grows out in our forest, or growing trees?”

When the Journal reached Friends of the Eel River Executive Director Scott Greacen, he hadn’t seen a copy of the proposed ordinance. But he pointed to the fact that at least one CCVH donor and board member was targeted in last week’s sweep of the Island Mountain raids, and said previous iterations of the ordinance didn’t give him faith that CCVH was doing much to rein in the “mega-growers.”

“It’s real clear why they’re taking that position now,” Greacen said. “They are the mega-growers — I suspect the newest draft will reflect that.”

California Department of Fish and Wildlife environmental scientist Scott Bauer, referring to the Island Mountain raids, said he’s found it “disconcerting” that CCVH said the targeted growers were in compliance or working toward compliance when, to his knowledge, virtually no

14 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • THURSDAY, JULY 2, 2015 • northcoastjournal.com

one in that area has applied for a water diversion permit from Fish and Wildlife.

Ehresman, of the NEC, had read the draft and said permissions for canopy sizes were too lax. “The biggest concern there is these are large-scale operations,” Ehresman said, and with that comes environmental degradation. “Ten thousand square feet is nearly a quarter acre, and literally a ton of weed can come out of that.”

Bauer, who’s studied the impacts of marijuana grow site water diversions on local salmon populations, said permitting grows of up to 6,000 square feet concerns him. “From the big-picture side of things, we would be concerned about the cumulative effects of an ordinance like this that principally permits thousands of grow sites,” he said, adding that in the field he’s seeing a disturbing trend this year of more — and larger — grow operations.

Bauer only had time to give the final proposed ordinance an initial read but said he’s concerned it doesn’t seem to have any mechanisms to generate revenue for enforcement or habitat restoration.

In addition to the state fire, wildlife and water guidelines that the draft ordinance says farmers must follow, it calls for three main components for grow operations to be in compliance. The first is a business license, obtainable through the county tax collector. The second is registration with the county agricultural commissioner’s office. The third, which would only be for new operations and those over 10,000 square feet, would be conditional use permits from the planning commission.

But the draft makes no mention of how the county would fund a potentially huge increase in conditional use permits and agricultural commission registration applications, or the accompanying site visits.

While the draft calls for a $25 business application fee, it offers no suggested fees for agricultural registration or penalties for falling out of compliance. State agencies could levy hefty fines for going outside of the most stringent environmental guidelines, but there doesn’t appear to be a mechanism for the county to collect from the new program.

With an estimated 4,000 to 10,000 outdoor grows in the county’s borders, it stands to reason that the agricultural commission, which has six employees and oversaw 300 farms in 2012, would need to expand to offer any sort of timely registration and meaningful inspections.

County Agricultural Commissioner Jeff Dolf declined to comment on the draft ordinance, saying he was planning to discuss it with other county employees. It’s unclear how much leeway there may be in the ordinance to allow the agricultural

commission to set up a fee and penalty schedule, as the ordinance includes language giving Dolf’s office freedom to create rules and regulations necessary to “implement and administer” the ordinance. The ordinance also allows for the board of supervisors to amend it with a simple majority vote.

But the draft raises other questions.

For example, while it would principally permit grows of up to 6,000 square feet — and require only a ministerial permit for grows of up to 10,000 square feet — for cultivators who were already operating at the time the ordinance went into effect, new growers would have to seek out a conditional permit at the discretion of the county Planning Commission. This seems to be included to allay fears that principally permitting grows would cause a new “green rush” of people enticed by the county’s relatively lax land use regulation.

But it also creates a situation in which the thousands of currently operating growers — whether they’re utilizing best practices, working toward compliance, or not — are given the right to grow, while newcomers would essentially have to plead their cases to the county.

It’s clear a disconnect remains between CCVH and the environmental community.

Murphy, speaking at the CCVH courthouse rally, said the draft ordinance was specifically vague on revenue sources and specific environmental requirements because “those are the two hardest things to figure out.” He seemed to suggest that the 45-day public comment period could yield answers to the ordinance’s unanswered questions.

But Ehresman expressed frustration at a lack of inclusivity so far. “Over seven drafts and eight months they’ve had that time to incorporate the concerns from the overarching community, but instead it’s pretty clear that this ordinance is made to benefit the mega-growers at the expense of everyone else.”

Speaking at the rally, Murphy reiterated that growers are seeking regulation and want to pay taxes. Bruner said CCVH has more than 1,000 cannabis farmers in its ranks.

Bauer said his department’s California Environmental Quality Act staff will likely comb through the proposed ordinance in the coming weeks. Despite his concerns, Bauer said he’s glad the regulation conversation has gained so much traction.

“We’ll have to really look at it hard to see how to respond to what’s being proposed, but we appreciate the effort they’re putting into this,” Bauer said. “We want to make sure this is as environmentally benign as possible so fish and the industry can coexist.” l

Burger Quest

A

sk somebody where to get a good burger in Humboldt and you’ll likely get his or her opinion on a place that used to be good but went downhill, a place that’s overrated and the place that’s amazing. Ask somebody else and you’ll likely get the same places in a different order.

Let’s not fight. We just want different things.

Back when hamburgers first became an American staple, things were simpler — your doctor prescribed cigarettes for a sore throat and your burger came with lettuce, tomato and ketchup. But modern times find us with a vertigo-inducing variety from the retro to the artisanal, the greasy to the gourmet.

Eating your way across the county in search of your kind of burger would take a chunk of time and put a blockage in your arteries. No worries. The Journal team packed up the mobile defibrillator and hit the road for you. After chewing over the results, we broke down our findings into three categories: the Hole-in-the-wall Classic for those who want an old-fashioned burger that could have come from a waitress on roller skates; the #YOLO for all-out, last-meal, everything-on-it, indulgence; and the Wholesome burgers, for those of you who salivate at happy cows, homemade bread and ripe veggies.

Hole-in-the-Wall Classics

Searching for the Holy Grill

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill OLD SCHOOL: MIKE’S DRIVE UP IN THE BAG. PHOTO BY JENNIFER FUMIKO CAHILL

NO BRAND BURGER STAND 1400 Main St., Ferndale This is the quintessential hole-in-the-wall in our county, and it predates all the fuss over food politics and online reviews. Its screen door slams on change of any kind, really, with the sweet tang of mustard and relish on a flattened patty that’s blanketed with American cheese and spreading out from a partly mashed white bun and a fistful of chopped iceberg lettuce. The Cajun seasoning is as exotic as it gets.

Die-hard patrons appreciate it, use the word “greasy” glowingly and keep their cardiologists on speed dial. The crinkle-cut fries are the crispiest you’ve had since you were a kid and they come with a ketchup and mayo sauce you’ll be nostalgic for later.

V&N BURGER BAR 460 I St., Arcata The hours at this 1966 legacy are ornery: Monday through Friday, breakfast and lunch only. But the fact that you can get a Jolly Giant 1/2-pound burger when it opens at 7 a.m. is the right kind of ornery ($6.79). (Arugula, artisanal bread, bean patties — you have no continued on next page

continued from previous page power here.) The hand-formed beef patty with pleasingly crusty brown edges comes on a soft, pale yellow bun with mustard, relish, ketchup, onions, pickles, lettuce and tomatoes. It’s the same unfussy, American drive-in classic, (but bigger) the owners have been flipping on the flattop for 20 years. Can’t make it over on your lunch hour? Get your priorities straight and call in sick. Given that the double is only $9.59, closing shop for evenings and weekends is probably saving lives.

MIKE’S DRIVE-UP 637 Broadway, Eureka If you haven’t been in for a while, the absence of right-wing propaganda might be disorienting. In fact, the factionless, multiteam sports memorabilia on the walls (is that a Lakers jersey?) is more Swiss neutral than American jingo. The slim beef patties on soft buns with dollops of bean-less chili, mayo, mustard and chopped onion, however, remain the same ($4.40). They are a tasty, guilty pleasure, but move quickly, as the bun will not hold up to slow-food eating habits against the sloppy-Joe-esque chili.

Mike’s has been open since 1943, and the current dynasty of owners is three generations deep. It’s a trip back to a time before cholesterol counts and supersizing. OK, the chocolate malt is kind of big, but it’s dreamy ($4.75). And the famous garlic fries ($2.80)?

Soft and greasy, which people love or hate.

But the real reason you get them is to make other people jealous with the aroma or to take revenge on your dentist.

THE PEG HOUSE 69501 US Highway 101, Leggett Eventually, when Humboldt County marches across the border and annexes Leggett Manifest-Destiny style, it will be for the Sunset burger with bacon ($10). After all, its generous patty is made with our county’s grassfed beef, and that thick, crisp, smoky bacon smells familiar. Right? The patty is lightly seasoned, but not enough to interfere with the old-school meat and cheddar flavors or the trinity of lettuce, tomato and onion. And you can feast among the flowers in the garden or under the shade of a tattered parachute over the backyard stage. (The public restrooms are being renovated, so if you don’t love a port-a-potty, make a rest stop elsewhere before you turn in at the be-stickered cop car out front.)

AA BAR AND GRILL 929 Fourth St., Eureka Once you press through the jail-facing doors of the “double-A” and take your seat/stool in the dark bar, it’s hard not to order the steak. Be strong. The mushroom Swiss comes out like the Platonic ideal of a diner burger beside fries and/or rings

with a flurry of salt ($9). The tender patty, melted cheese, sautéed mushrooms, crunchy pickle slices, shredded lettuce and tomatoes are stacked on a crisp-edged, toasted sesame seed bun like somebody in the kitchen minored in architecture. Take a moment to appreciate this lost art before you dive in. There is no gimmick here. Just as the AA’s steak is for purists, so, too, are the hefty round of charred beef and classic toppings of its hamburger, which tastes like a burger, not just the sum of its parts.

#YOLO SURFSIDE BURGER SHACK 445 Fifth St., Eureka The Shack has a strong record in the Journal’s Best Of Humboldt voting, and its décor, its bacchanalia of toppings over grassfed beef and its mountains of dark, hand-cut fries speak to a beachy hedonism. (Think of a surfer’s hearty post-wave appetite and/or iffy decisions made on sunny vacations.) Aside from the four-patty burger and fries Tsunami Challenge, Surfside’s charms have managed, Jedi-like, to even distract us from the mysterious lack of milkshakes. You want a fried egg, bacon, jack cheese and maple syrup on that? Sure.

The Surfside Sunrise is $7.95.

table and fool yourself that the parking lot is a backyard cookout. The standard cheeseburger, gently hand-pressed Humboldt Grassfed, comes with iceberg lettuce and tomato on an old-fashioned bun, and it’s got solid grilled flavor with just the right char ($5). But for $6.25, the Oh Yeah burger comes with pepper jack cheese, pickled jalapeño slices and chipotle aioli for a nice balance of spice and creaminess. (Additional hot sauce available for those of you not wearing makeup or with something to prove.) Look, you might be over chipotle because of Food Network overexposure, but if you get stubborn about it, then Bobby Flay has won. The smoky mayo is lovely with the meat. Fold back your paper wrapper and partake of the juiciness before the clouds roll back in.

ARCATA PIZZA AND DELI 1057 H St., Arcata Put away your pricey smartphone — this could get messy. The Out ‘n About double with cheese is a thing you need to grab onto and eat until you’re done ($6.75). It’s literally a tall order, with two fat patties stacked over shredded iceberg lettuce, grilled red onion and tomato on a firm white bun with swipes of mayonnaise and thousand island dressing. Only the wrapper keeps it from tipping over. APD takes the Humboldt Grassfed a step further, grinding it on the premises for a loosely packed and

ALIBI 744 Ninth St., Arcata The variety of burgers topped with everything from pastrami to peanut butter is dizzying. Among them is the Mad River ($14.25 on a 10-ounce “Gary” patty).

The grilled wheat bun is ironic atop a pair of golden-fried, tart and thickly crusted jalapeño poppers, along with green chiles, chipotle mayonnaise and salsa. Take a bite and the melted cream cheese floods out from the poppers because to hell with Dr. Oz. And here is where the substantial bun keeps disaster at bay. On its own, the meat is hand-formed, wonderfully lumpy and crusty but not a bit dry. That the sauces come on the side is good news for control freaks and fry dippers alike, and neither is terribly hot, so ask for hot sauce, too, if you need to feel the burn.

There’s a wheat bun under there somewhere, but forget assembling it and eating with your hands. You need tools. Maybe a helper. And a pair of smocks. Hunks of smoky tri tip mingle with kidney beans in the dark, smoky and not overly salty chili. (Bonus: The fries are crispy and firm enough to dip into the hot mess.)

For a chili burger that looks this much like a 10-car pile-up, it’s not greasy, either. Still, order a light beer.

The fries (with skin) are thick and fluffy inside, crisp and salty outside. For $6.75, a cheeseburger with cheddar, a BLT’s worth of thick bacon and a dollop of guacamole on top of the usual green leaf lettuce, chopped onion and light touch of mayo, mustard and ketchup can be yours.

PLAZA GRILL 780 Seventh St., Arcata Do you hog the cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving? Because if you are into sweet and savory combinations, the brie and jalapeno raspberry jam burger is your jam.

There is an option on the menu to upgrade to local grassfed beef for $2. Take it. The hefty patty is topped with light slaw (apple cider vinaigrette, mayo) on a ciabatta bun that can handle the meat drippings and the hunks of melting cheese. And about that cheese — why are we not putting brie on burgers all the time? It’s salty-butterycreamy, offering the same satisfaction as slices of American cheese but all sophisticated. (Mentioning this to the French is not likely to win you friends.) It’s also the perfect foil for the smear of sweet berry and its hint of heat.

half, too. Your grassfed burger will be thick enough to order it pink in the middle and surprise — that’s where the melted bleu cheese is hiding. The mellow sweetness of the onions is a nice balance to the strong cheese and smoky sauce. Every flavor ever is happening, but the steaky, charbroiled taste of the meat comes through. Roll up your sleeves and get more napkins. Or a small towel.

red tomato ($8). And you’re by the sea, so even the oxygen is practically artisanal. The soft, pleasingly salty ciabatta bun is made on the premises, so don’t do that thing where you leave most of the bun on the plate. Eat the bun. If you need your burger anything under medium, be very clear about it. Either way, the flavor of the patty is good and the cumulative effect of über-fresh ingredients is a winner.

HUM GROWN GRINDZ Location TBA, Willow Creek (see Facebook) Follow that trailer. The little sliders that come out of it are fancy as hell ($11 for three). Owner and chef Tyrum Dean used to fire up orders at Folie Douce, and now, between stuffed crepes, he’s frying trios of miniature burgers in his mobile kitchen. Each chubby handful of grassfed, organic beef is nicely seared outside and juicy inside. Add blue cheese, baby greens, sweet and creamy caramelized onions and bacon on a dinner roll with a schmear of chipotle aioli and you’re at your own swanky party. Even the pick holding it together is uptown. Unlike those catered hors d’oeuvres you always have to chase around at an event, though, three of these babies, satisfying as they are adorable, will set you up and then some.

Whatever you choose, your homemade bun will be branded with a Ridgetop “R.” It will also be soft and buttery, like the bread you can’t stop eating in a restaurant until you prove your mother right and spoil your dinner. The 1/3-pound grassfed burger is perfectly ground and packed, tender and cooked to a blush in center ($10, $1 cheese). Forget the crowd of condiments you server brings over. The meat is so flavorful with just a dollop of house aioli and smoked gouda (yeah, get the gouda) that you don’t need anything else. In fact, the lettuce and tomato are just distractions, too. Eat them separately if Mom is with you (you owe her after the bread thing). ●

Down and Dirty Lynda Pozel, whose Eureka garden has been featured in Fine Gardening magazine, recommends choosing no more than four colors to use in the entire garden — but she suggests giving yourself license to go wild with flower shapes and styles as long as you keep within that palette.

There is no reason to feel restrained to Mediterranean plants, in fact many of our California natives like monkey flower (Mimulus and Diplacus), California fuchsia (Epilobium canum), leopard lily (Lilium pardalinum) and California poppy (Eschscholzia californica) have hot colors that are an ideal fit with the Tuscan look.

olorful yet refined, Mediterranean garden design seems to touch on so much of what’s right in the gardening world today: an emphasis on tough, unthirsty plantings which thrive in our California climate, a nod to the importance of food and edible plants in the garden and an invitation to enjoy that Sunset-inspired indoor-outdoor lifestyle that can be so hard to achieve in the everyday bustle of life. Here’s how to create your own backyard Mediterranean retreat.

Celebrate an agrarian lifestyle

Though the trend of using edibles in landscaping has been a recent one in America, this appreciation for the beauty and usefulness of herbal and edible plants has long been a part of Tuscan culture.

Herbs like lavender, rosemary, sage, bay and thyme are an iconic part of a Mediterranean garden, and these evergreen plants can easily form the backbone of your garden design. Plant smaller herbs near pathways where you can brush against them and enjoy the fragrance, place lavender in loose drifts or formal lines to either soften or emphasize the lines of your

Lavender (Lavendula spp. and cvs.)

— ‘Royal Velvet,’ ‘Silver Anouk,’ ‘Twickel Purple,’ and ‘Phenomenal’ are my recent faves.

Catmint (Nepeta faassenii) — similar color to lavender but a lower-growing, longer-blooming plant, try compact varieties like ‘Little Titch’ or ‘Cat’s Meow.’

‘May Night’ sage (Salvia ‘May Night’) — with deep purple flower spikes.

‘Bergartten’ sage (Salvia officianalis ‘Bergartten’) — a large-leaved culinary sage.

home, and use larger rosemary plants to flank an entry or provide an elegant green backdrop to flowering perennials.

Though olive trees and grapevines are less successful on the coast, if you are looking for food production, Meyer lemons and fig trees can be successful in the right spot. Even if your figs don’t ripen, there are recipes online for preserves made with green figs. Blueberries aren’t traditional Mediterranean plants, but they do well here and go harmoniously with Tuscan plantings, given their green foliage, colorful berries, and hints of salmony orange fall that appear midway through summer.

Use a small palette of bold colors

Under the hot Tuscan sun, pale colors look washed out and unimpressive. If you are re-creating the feel of a warm Mediterranean garden, choose a simple palette of vibrant colors for a planting that will brighten even the drizzliest Humboldt morning. Since so many of the iconic Mediterranean plants bloom purple (lavender and sage come to mind), orange or apricot-colored flowers make for a perfect contrast.

‘Apricot Twist’ wallflower (Erysimum ‘Apricot Twist’) — lives only a few years but is fragrant and beautiful.

Sunrose (Helianthemum nummularium) — ‘Henfield Brilliant’ is a shocking orange while ‘Cheviot’ is a light apricot.

‘Fireglow’ spurge (Euphorbia griffithii ‘Fireglow’) — with rich green leaves and fiery orange “flowers” (they’re actually bracts).

‘Mandarin Lights’ deciduous azalea (Rhododendron ‘Mandarin Lights’) — good for a partially sunny spot.

Punctuate the garden with spires and vases

Italian cypress is another iconic plant in Mediterranean design that acts as a visual exclamation point within garden beds, draws the eye to doorways or defines the boundaries of the garden. The problem here in Humboldt is that Italian cypresses, including the dwarf variety ‘Tiny Towers,’ simply want more heat and less moisture than can be found in our cool coastal clime.

A few alternatives:

‘Skyrocket’ Juniper (Juniperus scopulorum ‘Skyrocket’) ‘Emerald’ arborvitae (Thuja occidenta-

lis ‘Emerald’) ‘Sky Pencil’ Holly (Ilex crenata ‘Sky Pencil’) ‘Graham Blandy’ boxwood (Buxus sempervirens ‘Graham Blandy’) As an alternative to spire-shaped plants, consider using a traditional vaseshaped pot. Similar to the jugs traditionally used to hold olive oil, these pots add another touchpoint to the agrarian history inherent in the Mediterranean style, and can be planted with flowers, turned into a bubbling water feature or just used on their own to accessorize a space.

Create generous pathways and patios

Though our homes have generous open areas and places to walk, for some reason people feel compelled to create cramped little pathways through the garden. Then we wonder why the outdoors doesn’t feel inviting! If you want to feel pulled into the outdoors, keep the design of your pathways generous (5 to 8 feet would not be out of line). And if you plan to use your patio for dining, allow enough room for the table, a 2-foot buffer zone on all sides for chairs and another 2 feet around that zone so people can walk even while people are seated. This means that a patio with a 3-by-6 foot rectangular dining table would need to be at least 11-by-14 feet.

This is much larger than the average (and barely used) 4-by-8 foot patio that comes standard with many homes, and you may wonder where you’ll find the space. It’s simple: replace your thirsty lawn with patio, and you’ll extend the square footage of your home into the backyard while lowering the maintenance needed to keep things looking good.

Use warm colors for hard surfaces

While slate, bluestone and other cool colors are beautiful in the right setting, in order to evoke the sundrenched beauty of Tuscany, you need the visual warmth from tan decomposed granite (gravel), terracotta colored stucco or tile, and stone or colored concrete in warm earth tones.

The colors in this range tend to soften the effect of using larger pathways or patios. A large patio in a warm tan color feels much more inviting than a similar patio of gray gravel or concrete, and appears bright and cheerful even during overcast weather. l For a detailed monthly to-do list, visit www.northcoastjournal.com/ GardenTodo.

Dog People

Sylvia at Ferndale Repertory Theatre

By Dev Richards

frontrow@northcoastjournal.com

D

ogs have no respect for social norms. Sure, they can be trained to obey, but they can’t deny their true nature and they don’t pass up an opportunity to do something disgusting or awkwardly hilarious, no matter how embarrassing it may be for their human companions. While dogs are naturally occurring sources of comic relief, logistics make it difficult to use their talents for the stage. Save for the occasional use as a living prop, dogs are too unpredictable. In Sylvia, playwright A.R. Gurney has found the perfect loophole: Let a human play the dog.

Set in the upper crust of New York City, Sylvia explores the life of stereotypically unhappy, middle-aged, married couple Greg (Jaison Chand) and Kate (Natasha White). Greg is increasingly discontent with his finance job and it’s creating a predictable strain on their marriage. Kate is as an inner-city teacher with large goals, high hopes and an unblemished social reputation. When Greg finds Sylvia (Jenna Donahue) running loose at the park, it’s love at first sight. Despite the complaints and constant discouragement from Kate, Greg quickly makes Sylvia a member of the family. While Greg’s love and devotion for Sylvia quickly turn unhealthy and irresponsible, the playful mutt and uptight wife become fast enemies. A dog doesn’t fit into the tidy life Kate holds so dear, not to mention Greg’s attention and affections have completely shifted to the dog. It’s a basic and rather typical plot in terms of the differences between

24 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • THURSDAY, JULY 2, 2015 • northcoastjournal.com

men and women, the difficulties of marriage and the hilarity of dogs.

Dark and bawdy humor are sprinkled throughout and, in the end, it’s heartwarming, though unsurprising.

With a storyline as cloyingly predictable as Sylvia, director Dillon Savage has his work cut out for him. Add a small cast of four actors, a relatively unchanging set and a trope-filled play, and everything needs to be on point if there’s any hope of holding the audience’s attention. Though the entire package creates some endearing moments, certain aspects of the acting and staging prevent Sylvia from being a more memorable and engaging production.

Jenna Donahue does not have an easy role. Portraying a dog through a human lens is fraught with opportunities to shift a work of the stage to something more cartoonish. She finds a balance right out of the gate, though, and pulls it off nearly perfectly. Her energy is ever present, even when her character is just an observer of upsetting human interaction. Her mannerisms and tone are a perfect blend of dog and human, juxtaposing the ridiculousness of human behavior (jealousy, passive aggression) and the simplicity of doggie motivation (bark, eat, sleep). Dogs are happy with the basics, but humans ignore the contentment found in the simple things.

Donahue’s energy is never quite

matched by the rest of the cast, though the second act is much stronger than the first. Throughout the first act, Chand and Donahue appear muted and mired in the clichéd aspects of their characters. It’s unclear whether this is a directorial choice meant to emphasize the presence of Sylvia’s energy, but the notable improvement in the second act makes it seem so.

As the tone of the play shifts from farce to something more emotionally difficult and endearing, the skill of each actor becomes more apparent. Donahue and Chand show an intimacy and vulnerability in the second act, and it will likely bring a tear to your eye. I played it off as allergies, but I don’ think anyone bought it.

Mindi Bon takes on all the additional characters, from the chummy dog owner at the park to the unsettlingly quirky and unstable marriage counselor. Bon’s characters are sometimes ambiguous in terms of gender. She does an excellent job of bringing each character to life as someone completely separate from the others. Bon brings an equally dynamic energy to the stage when she is opposite Sylvia, and it should be noted that her presence during each of her scenes boosted the energy of both Chand and Donahue.

Once you get beyond the gender stereotypes of the messy and clueless husband and the jealous and buzz-killing wife, Sylvia is enjoyable. It’s unfortunate that Gurney leaves the cast and crew with so many obstacles to overcome, but Dillon and the actors are eventually able to conquer the sub-par script and create something of a sweetly sad, screwball comedy.

Dark and bawdy humor are sprinkled throughout...

LORI GOODMAN’S “HOUSE FOR MORRIS” AT THE MORRIS GRAVES MUSEUM OF ART. PHOTO BY GABRIELLE GOPINATH

This is the Place

Conversations with Morris Graves

By Gabrielle Gopinath artbeat@northcoastjournal.com

I

n the extraordinary life of Morris Graves, periods of travel in Europe and Asia alternated with extended sojourns in two remote and beautiful coastal regions: Humboldt County and Skagit County, in Washington’s northwest corner. Here and There, organized by Skagit Valley artist Ann Chadwick Reid, explores the repercussions of Pacific Northwest geography in Graves’ art and in the work of contemporary artists from these regions. Like Graves, the eight Humboldt- and Skagitbased artists in this show make art that seeks to convey the spirit of place. Their work is fittingly showcased here, in the museum that bears Graves’ name.

Graves seems to have been idealistic, independent-minded and susceptible to nature’s beauty; in other words, he fit right in here. But by the time he arrived in Humboldt in the 1960s, he was a mature artist and had already been through more than his share of exceptional experiences.

Born in Seattle in 1910, Graves ran away to sea as a teenager and made multiple voyages around the world as a merchant seaman before turn-

ing 21. By the 1930s, he was living in New York in one of the communitarian peace missions founded by the visionary African-American preacher Father Divine. During World War II, he spent months in prison as a conscientious objector. Graves chose to live and work in the Pacific Northwest rather than relocating to New York, as most young artists did at the time. Even so, he gained a national reputation in 1942, when his paintings made their way into a major show at New York’s Museum of Modern Art. After designing acclaimed country houses in Ireland and Skagit, Graves made his last move to Loleta in 1964. There he had Seattle architect Ibsen Nelson build him a house in the thick of an old-growth redwood forest, where he lived and painted until his death in 2001.

Graves was a lifelong student of Zen Buddhism, and his creative achievement places him among the cadre of American visionaries who recorded their perceptions of God’s presence manifest in nature. Graves shares some ontology with the transcendentalists Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau; he

shares common purpose with landscape painters like Charles Burchfield and Thomas Cole. Graves wrote in 1946 from his home on Fidalgo Island: “This Northwestern world is a CONDITION, sparse, and not overly humanized — and in it the outlooking DEMANDS inlooking.”

Most of the Graves works here feature delicately rendered, semi-abstracted birds and animals, often hovering over luminous open backgrounds in a way that suggests geometricized flight.

With works like “Bird and Void” (1944) or “Hibernation II” (1969) the artist does not necessarily try to achieve a realistic likeness; rather, he records the sensation that this entity impressed upon a viewer’s spirit. His creaturely subjects are invested with psychic charge.

Graves’s connectedness to place did not aid his career in the postwar decades, when “regionalism” was in eclipse and the American art world celebrated seemingly autonomous artworks. A lot has changed since then. Artists embrace regional specificity now that the Internet has made the picturesque margins of the world more connected, and the great cultural capitals more alike. Awareness of place can be valuable currency in such a world. This tenet is a point of departure for the eight artists whose works occupy the first floor’s western galleries.

Most of these artists do not share Graves’s predilection for “inlooking,” or his radar for mystic vibes. Whereas Graves tapped into the seemingly eternal dimension of the natural world, artists living in the 21st century don’t have

the luxury of taking nature’s apparently prodigal bounty for granted. It’s hard now to think about nature without also thinking of the potential for its loss. So it makes sense that these artists portray the Pacific Northwest coastal zone as a delicate, perishable resource: an interconnected system whose glorious complexity is now threatened by environmental damage, habitat loss, climate change, ocean acidification and development.

Several participants responded to the exhibition brief by documenting the complexities of the natural world or contrasting the ecosystems of the counties in question. Julie McNiel’s mixed media pieces bring imagery from China and the Northwest together in brusquely unexpected juxtapositions. Big, multilayered paintings by Leslie Kenneth Price feature biomorphic forms woven together as foliage might be in a garden. Eve Deisher’s intricate black and white compositions layer paper and fabric to generate interconnected, organically shaped motifs. Ann Reid’s paired scrolls, made from finely cut black paper in the Japanese style, contrast the flora and fauna of Humboldt and Skagit counties. And Allen Moe’s velvety-looking contour reliefs are cast from sand patterns carved in the mud of the Eel and Skagit riverbeds, each as individual as footprints.

Other artists took a different approach — contributing works that engage with Graves himself, or with his legacy. Lanny Bergner shows tall, elegant crystalline constructions that speak to “Instruments for a New Navigation,” Graves’ sculpture series inspired by the dawn of the space age. Lori Goodman presents a “House for Morris,” crafted from hemp paper bricks: a deceptively solid-looking meditation on the light versus the heavy, and the home versus the world. And Emily Silver embraces Morris as muse, even though she writes that she is drawn to open, arid landscapes so different from the foggy forests he preferred. Her “Counterpane for Morris and Me” is a dreamy watercolor full of clouds and currents, just big enough to commune with an artist’s ghost.

Here and There will be on display at the Morris Graves Museum of Art through July 26 before it travels to the Museum of Northwest Art in LaConner, Washington.l

“We’re in Italy, not the States. It’s about quality, right?” But after one mouthful, I bit my lip like a 5-year-old. That autentico Italian risotto was in no way as succulent as mine, especially not for 14 euros.

And that, my friends, is the last time I paid for risotto in a restaurant. So here, for free, I offer you my down-home, forgiving risotto.

No-Fail Risotto RISOTTO AIN’T ROCKET SCIENCE. PHOTO BY BARRY EVANS

No-Fail Risotto

By Louisa Rogers

tabletalk@northcoastjournal.com

O

ne evening while stirring arborio rice, I thought of an old friend who is married to an Italian.

While the rice simmered, I fired off an email to her: “Molly, I’m cooking risotto. Any special insider tips from your Italian relatives?”

No such luck. She wrote back that she didn’t do risotto. “Too much time, too tricky.”

That’s not the first time I’ve heard risotto dismissed as complicated, laborious and time-consuming. And don’t even think about all that starch.

I can’t argue with the starch. But plenty of other delectable dishes that people cook are starchy. And those plump, pillowy hills of arborio are worth every spoonful. I feel a bit faint just thinking about it.

As for “tricky,” the key to simple, nofail risotto is not to run out and buy all those fancy extra ingredients but to make do with whatever’s around. Much like a frittata, risotto can be a handy way to use up leftovers. I can usually find everything I include in my risotto already in the kitchen, otherwise I’ll substitute another ingredient (like a leek instead of an onion)

or just skip it. My risottos are flexible, kind and forgiving — like we all aim to be.

The recipe below includes olive oil, garlic, onion, zucchini, mushrooms, frozen or fresh spinach, frozen peas, cilantro, arborio rice and some Parmesan (um, powder — I suppose this exposes my lack of sophistication, but I can’t tell the difference once it’s melted in with the rice). These ingredients just so happen to be my household staples anyway. But you could just as successfully substitute arugula, chard, leeks, shallots, chopped or sun-dried tomatoes, parsley, and feta or goat cheese.

The only essential is the arborio. Really.

Even the Parmesan can be replaced.

As for my results, well, put it this way: A few years ago, my husband Barry and I had dinner at an all-risotto restaurant in Cefalu, Sicily after passing it all day, salivating at the thought of real risotto instead of my humble outpost version. We ordered and waited … and waited. Long past bedtime, our dishes finally arrived. I looked down at the tiny, forlorn island of risotto in a vast ocean of plate, without even a sprig of parsley on the side, and swallowed. “Oh well,” I said cheerily.

Serves 2 Allow 30 minutes Ingredients and method: 4 cups vegetable broth 1 tablespoon olive oil 2-3 garlic cloves, minced 1 onion, chopped (or leek) 1 cup arborio rice 1 small zucchini, chopped ½ cup white or crimini mushrooms, sliced 1 cup frozen peas ½ cup frozen spinach or 1 cup fresh spinach 1 handful of cilantro, chopped ¼ cup grated Parmesan (powder or the real thing) 1 dash of oregano, basil, thyme or fennel — whichever you fancy salt, pepper to taste Directions: In a medium pot, bring 4 cups of broth to a boil.

Meanwhile, in a large pan, heat the olive oil. Sauté the garlic and onion, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the uncooked rice and stir for about 5 minutes until the rice starts to turn golden.

Add the chopped zucchini, mushrooms, frozen peas, spinach and cilantro.

Add 1 cup of the hot broth into the rice mixture, stirring constantly. Stir until the liquid is absorbed.

Add another 2 cups of broth, ½ cup at a time, every 2-3 minutes, continuing to stir frequently.

Remove the pot from heat. Stir in the Parmesan and herbs. Serve immediately. l

#RainbowsForever Basking in the glow and more reasons to party Tuesday

make a list of the three most smiley gigs ever attended, Yogoman’s New Orleansby-way-of-Jamaica good time would absolutely be on the list. Also, much booty shaking. Dynasty One aims to inspire with a blend of reggae, hip-hop, Afro funk and rock “guaranteed to keep you moving all night.” The grooving begins at 10 p.m., show is 21-and-over, price TBA.

Happiness in A-town It’s summer. Stay up late. Go out on a Tuesday night. Find Joy at the Alibi. Seriously, this band’s bringing the heavy acid jams from San Diego along with Chicago proto-metal band Medusa, plus Missing Link’s Adam will spin psych, prog and stoner metal through the night. Music starts early for the ’bi – 9 p.m. Cover’s $5, show’s 21-and-over.

M

ost days I look at Facebook as one of the following things: 1.) a tool for seeing what far-off friends are up to; 2.) a means of communication many of my friends seem determined to use exclusively; 3.) a useful way to glean shows for this here music column. Like, it’s fine, Facebook, but this past week, thanks to the magnificently abundant rainbow happiness leaping off the screen every time I scrolled through my news feed, Facebook prompted a big, fat smile. Yay, rainbows!

PHOTO COURTESY OF THE ARTIST

WHO: Yogoman Burning Band WHEN: Saturday, July 4 at 10 p.m.

WHERE: Jambalaya TICKETS: TBA

And a huge toast to the gay rights movement and all the elated partying SCOTUS’ decision (and Pride Week) sparked. It was almost six years ago that the Ravens, the Bad Lilas and Strix Vega performed at “Rock Out For Marriage Equality.” We finally got there. I look forward to the ongoing celebration and those yet to come.

Cheers!

Saturday

Indoor fireworks Bellingham’s Yogoman Burning Band lights up the Jambalaya for the Fourth, along with locals Dynasty One. Now, I’ve been to a lot of shows and if I were to

But wait!

That’s not all! You also get a second Yogoman/Dynasty One show for the children. Yes, a special kids show happens from 1 to 3 p.m., also at the Jam. It’ll be nuts. Fortunately, there’s a bar, and watching all the kids bounce around and sing along is pretty damn cute. The event doesn’t list a price, but last time I borrowed a kid and went, the cover was $10.

Wednesday

Word of the day Time to build your vocabulary, Humboldt! Today’s word comes courtesy of one-man-band, Holus-Bolus, which means (I looked it up) “all at once” or “everything.”

The honorific suits the guitar-drum looping that forms the base of Tom Boylan’s act – listen for his sublime cover of Men at Work’s “Land Down Under” when he plays Blondie’s at 8 p.m., all ages, price TBA.

‘Beautiful’ afternoon Internationally acclaimed soprano Dorothy Stone performs in a “Beautiful Song” at the Morris Graves Museum of Art accompanied by distinguished local pianist John Chernoff and joined by tenor Berel Alexander. Stone has earned accolades on three continents for her interpretations of leading roles in Verdi’s Aida, Il Trovatore, Otello and Un Ballo in Maschera, among others. She has performed at Los Angeles’ Steinway Hall, Moscow’s Tchaikovsky Hall, New York’s Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, and at the Museo Fernando Blanco in Buenos Aires. The trio will offer a mix of art songs, arias, classic standards and theatre songs. The program begins at 3 p.m. General admission is $15 at the door.

Garage goodness Also of note, fine foot-stompin’ vintage rockers The Stone Foxes — think Black Keys, Black Motorcycle Rebel Club, Zeppelin, et al — play Humboldt Brews.

Show is 21-and-over and starts at 9 p.m., cover is $10. Likely to blow your ears right off your head.

Etc.

Boom

Fourth of July is as American as, well, America. Barbecues, live music, gathering with friends and family, sitting in the grass under the stars watching the sky light up — the loud boom, crack and sizzle of fireworks.

So which celebration are you going to?

There’s the Fourth of July Jubilee from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the Arcata Plaza (free). Maybe catch a Crabs game at 2:30 at the Arcata Ballpark, too ($9, $6 students, $4 kids). In Eureka, check out the Fourth of July Festival starting at 10 a.m. in Old Town. The fireworks display starts over the bay at 10 p.m. (free).

Or you can grab a seat at Redwood Acres for the Fireworks Spectacular at the Races, featuring a points race at 5 p.m. followed by fireworks ($12, $10, $2 for kids 6 - 12, free to kids 5 and under).

Heading south? Ferndale keeps it small, sweet and hometown with a parade, barbecue, kids games and more at the Ferndale Fourth of July Fun-Tastic at 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Main Street. Over at the Humboldt County Fairgrounds, enjoy food and drink booths, live music and fireworks at dark. Gates open at 7 p.m. (free admisission). Fortuna does it a day early — why?

Southern Humboldt blows it up with Fireworks in Benbow enjoy at 9:30 p.m. at the Benbow Lake State Recreation Area (free show, $8 to park).

Get out there this weekend and wish America happy birthday. Safely. And take care to secure your pets — the Humane Society says lost pet numbers spike around the holiday.

Jurassic World 3D

Those hot summer nights are about to get a little steamier as Rita Hayworth, Gloria Grahame and Gene Tierney set the screen alight this July at the Humboldt County Library as part of the Film Noir Classic Film Series (free).

Film noir, the black and white film style featuring dark, shadowy cinematography and tough guys outwitted by damsels in distress (who are anything but), is the focus of this month’s Classic Film Series.

Deceit, murder, grit and grime all framed by evocative lighting and dark shadow play — flickering fan blades silhouetted on the ceiling of a private investigator’s office, shafts of moonlight streaming through angled slats in the blinds, dark figures emerging from foggy streets. Deception’s the name of the game and trouble is the name of the dame. A beautiful woman enters, common sense exits. Every time, suckers. Watch the coolest of guys (Bogart, Glenn Ford, Don Taylor) come undone by one artfully arched eyebrow, one well-turned heel.

The series kicks off July 7 with Gene Tierney and Cornel Wilde in Leave Her to Heaven (1945), followed by Humphrey Bogart and Gloria Grahame in In a Lonely Place (1950) on July 14, then Barry Fitzgerald and Howard Duff in The Naked City (1945) on July 21, and finally Rita Hayworth and Glenn Ford in Gilda (1946) on July 28. The Tuesday night shows start at 6:30 p.m. with a brief introduction by local film nerds and discussion following.

NOT FROM MARK WAHLBERG’S OSCAR HIGHLIGHT REEL.

Old Toys Club Ted 2 loses some stuffing

By John J. Bennett filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

TED 2. To be fair, extenuating circumstances may have contributed to my lukewarm reception of this sequel; I saw it on the tail end of a camping weekend that left me depleted, dehydrated, sunburned and with a cold. So yeah, some of the onus is on me for having a hard time staying awake through this. In my defense, though, Ted 2, while funny, is a movie without a whole lot going on.

By now the novelty of Seth McFarlane’s stoned stuffed bear and his misguided (and hurtfully named) buddy John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg) has evaporated to the

point that we need a little more story to sustain a sequel than this one provides.

The original Ted (2012) in brief: As a lonely child, John wished his bear into sentient life, and good on him for that. Ted (McFarlane) was semi-famous for some time, but eventually he and John just ended up planted on the couch. John had, at some point, ventured out enough to find a ladyfriend, but his closeness to Ted proved to be a problem. Also, some weirdos from around the way became uncomfortably fixated on the bear.

By the time we catch up with our protagonists, things have actually changed: John married his then-girlfriend, but that ended in divorce. So it is with great regret and sad-sackness that he watches Ted’s nuptials to Tami-Lynn (Jessica Barth). It’s a beautiful wedding, capped off by an overthe-top Busby Berkeley-style opening credit sequence with Ted gliding joyously down a giant wedding cake decorated by dancers in formal wear. In his customary fashion, though, McFarlane as director and co-writer (with longtime collaborators Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild) can’t let a grace note linger. Instead, he plunges us back in to his version of middle-American ennui, with Ted in an undershirt getting into a screaming argument with Tami-Lynn about money in their squalid little apartment. I get the joke, and there is some truth behind McFarlane’s crude juxtaposi-

tion of high and low, but it’s wearing thin after all these years. Ted, troubled by constant marital strife, takes the advice of a co-worker that having a baby with Tami-Lynn will solve their problems. Again, this feels frustratingly like a wink from the writers, like those of us in the audience who are smart enough to get the irony are on their team, while everybody else is somehow less-than. Regardless, this provides the set-up not only for an overlong sight gag about semen, but also for the central device of the plot. Which, of course, is that Ted is not considered a person in the eyes of the law. As a result, he loses his job, the marriage is annulled and having a child becomes impossible.

Unless Ted and John can take their case to court and win, which they set out to do with the help of a newly-minted attorney (Amanda Seyfried) who likes civil rights and smoking weed as much as they do.

This thin premise sends the trio on a road-trip to beg the help of another, more prominent attorney (Morgan Freeman), which in turn lands them at New York comic-con for the climax, for no particular reason. Meanwhile, in the background, creepy Donny (Giovanni Ribisi) is back from the first installment. Now working as a custodian at Hasbro, he corners the CEO and pitches a harebrained scheme about kidnapping Ted (again) and somehow implanting his intelligence in other teddy bears.

I don’t necessarily mind that the plot is so secondary to the jokes, but it bothers me that the makers of Ted 2 don’t embrace that fact. There is a long history, after all, of great road comedies propelled more by performance and gags than by story. But in this case, it feels like the supply of jokes and whatever inspiration could be wrung from the dynamic between the leads ran out at the same time and the writers were reluctantly forced to manufacture a plot point to move along to the next set-up. Granted, many of the gags are legitimately funny.

Too often, though, the funniest parts exist completely outside the structure of the story. Even the strongest laughs feel strangely unsatisfying, because the movie will, sooner or later, have to go back to being a movie again, which is where it loses its way. R. 115m.

Cool Contrails

PHOTO BY OLIVIER CLEYNEN, CREATIVE COMMONS

By Barry Evans

fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com

C

ontrails — condensation trails — those long, thin white streaks of water droplets or ice crystals that form behind jet airplanes, are very cool. Literally. The hot exhaust from a jet engine is mostly carbon dioxide and water vapor, both gases. As the water vapor is exposed to cold temperatures — typically minus 40 degrees at jet plane altitudes of four or five miles — it condenses into tiny droplets of liquid or solid ice crystals.

This phase transition takes a moment to occur, which is why contrails start a little behind the aircraft engines.

If you’ve lived in a cold climate, you’ve surely created your personal contrail on a winter morning; it’s the cloud of condensing water droplets as you exhale into cold, humid air. The colder and more humid the weather, the more pronounced the effect. Most aircraft contrails only last for a few minutes before they dissipate in the upper atmosphere winds, but they can last for hours if it’s sufficiently calm, humid and cold up there. Our atmosphere is far from uniform — which is why we have clouds — so you can sometimes see a contrail start and stop as it encounters more or less humid and/or hotter or colder patches of air.

Pretty, perhaps, but the exhaust from 50,000 passenger flights every day is adding to global warming. Until 2001, meteorologists weren’t sure if the net effect of contrails was to cool the Earth (by reflecting incoming, short-wavelength sunlight) or to warm us by “greenhouse” trapping of reflected long-wavelength rays (“Global Warming,” March 24, 2011). The three-day grounding of commercial air traffic following 9/11 gave researchers an opportunity to test their models. Turns out more heat is trapped than reflected. More contrails, more warming.

Chemtrails on the other hand — short for chemical trails — are not cool,

in any sense. That is, if they actually existed. Listen to Art Bell or Google “chemtrail,” and you’ll be led into a nutty world of conspiracies, government plots and New World Order paranoia. Did you know that, for the last 30 years, the government/United Nations/Opus Dei/ cabal of rich industrialists/aliens have been slowly poisoning us/turning us into zombies/experimenting with climate control? Someone is doing something bad and secret, which I guess the country’s 40,000 commercial pilots and air traffic controllers are all in on.

Need I go on about how ineffectual spraying would be from 40,000 feet? How long-lasting contrails (the main giveaway, apparently, of chemtrails) have been around since World War II? How photographs showing barrels inside a prototype 747 are filled with water, not deadly chemicals (allowing test flight pilots to change the plane’s center of gravity by pumping from one barrel to another)?

If you are still worried about all this (apparently one in 40 of us believe in the chemtrail conspiracy), take heart. The sylphs are on our side. Sylphs are “air elementals” who are in the business of “transmuting, neutralizing, and destroying the noxious substances being sprayed as chemtrails,” according to one latenight-after-too-many-beers website that I stumbled upon.

We have plenty to worry about — I just wrote a pair of columns about ocean acidification and global warming (and yes, contrails don’t help) — but at this point, I trust that our leaders aren’t poisoning us from above. How can I be so sure? The government keeping a secret? Next you’ll be telling me about military intelligence. l Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo.com) asks you, for bonus points, why he didn’t specify minus 40 Fahrenheit or Celsius?
