Medicare for All Editor: The health care situation in our country is reaching a critical point (Mailbox, July 27). Unlike other developed countries, which have not-for-profit health care, we continue to have a health care system overseen by for-profit insurance companies. These companies skim anywhere from 20 to 40 percent off the top in profits, marketing costs and huge executive salaries. We can’t afford this overhead anymore. According to a new Commonwealth Fund report, we rank last among 11 industrialized countries on measures of health system quality, efficiency, access to care, equity and healthy lives. We have the highest costs and lowest performance among other developed countries. We need a Medicare-for-all system, and California is trying to lead the way. Our California Senate passed The Healthy California Act, Senate Bill 562 (single payer, but that bill has been stalled in the Assembly.) First it was shelved, then it was sidelined into a select committee. If the Assembly was serious about this bill, the standard process would have been to first send it to the Health Committee and then to the Appropriations Committee to discuss funding. As head of the Assembly Health Committee, North Coast Assemblyman Jim Wood should care about his constituents’ thoughts on the current state of health care. We can call him at 445-7014 to ask that he support allowing the bill to be heard in his Health Committee. Suzanne Cook, McKinleyville

‘Not Simple at All’ Editor: Consumer Reports recently printed an article about auto insurance premiums in many minority neighborhoods. Even though payout rates are no higher for these areas than for comparable white areas, blacks and other minorities must pay insurance bills that are 30 percent higher, on average, than for whites just a few miles away. Many people in the USA believe that institutional racism is dead, that all that remains are a few reactionaries with bad attitudes. The Consumer Reports article proves this isn’t true. This type of crippling financial injustice against blacks, in particular, was very prevalent until recent times. Another example: Prison sentences for black and Latino people are longer than sentences for whites convicted of the same crimes. Almost all of us can agree that these disgraceful discrepancies must finally end. Last week’s fine, stirring piece by Thadeus Greenson and Jennifer Fumiko Cahill described the ground we stand on as steeped in the blood of people brutally sacrificed to white, nationalist myths (“#ThisIsAbsolutelyUs,” Aug. 17). But their recommended fight against racism focused too much on speech and symbols, such as the Confederate flag. They seemed to think it’s simple to identify hate speech and stamp it out. Get rid of that flag, too. But it’s not simple at all. Most southerners don’t pair the Confederate flag with swastikas like those cretins did in Charlottesville. Many sincerely believe they have non-racist reasons to cherish it. Taking the Confederate flag down from public buildings is absolutely the right thing to do, but it’s

dangerous to call everyone racist who disagrees about its meaning. Nothing has only one meaning. The same goes for “hate speech.” We should be careful about what we label as hate. The speech of many people of all races falls on a continuum of political incorrectness. We need more and freer discussion instead of a clampdown. Tell me when you think I’m wrong, but don’t assume I’m racist. Martha Walden, Bayside

Unexplained Origins Editor: Barry Evans’ column (“Science. It Works Etc.,” Aug. 24) should have mentioned that Planck’s beautiful curve represents the origin of Quantum Mechanics. That it precisely fits the Cosmic Microwave Background proves that Quantum Mechanics works exactly across all expansive space and time, originating in the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago. Of course, science does not explain everything. The Big Bang’s origin remains a mystery. Don Garlick, Fieldbrook

A Welcoming Opportunity Editor: We wish to thank the capacity crowd that came to our Aug. 20 “Community Potluck to Welcome HSU Students” in Arcata, and the city of Arcata and the Retired Senior Volunteers Program (RSVP) for co-sponsoring the potluck. Home-cooked dishes were served to 75 to 100 students, who ate heartily and met dozens of community members who shared about the many area opportunities for students — recreational, volunteer and part-time employment. A small group of community members have planned for months to host the

potluck, with the intention of helping all students, regardless of race, creed, ethnicity, and gender, feel welcome in our community (“Work in Progress,” Aug. 24). We hope to act against racism and prejudice through getting to know each other over food and friendship, and to open our hearts and homes to students who may feel marginalized in our communities. Students and community members expressed their enthusiasm to connect, and learn about and be engaged in the surrounding communities. One wrote, “I am interested in hiking, surfing, appreciating the outdoors and connecting with others ... Thank you all for putting on this event!” A retired professor said, “The students at my table were appreciative of the effort and we had a great conversation. They were so excited and so looking forward to their college experience, it almost made me wish I was still teaching and working with students again.” RSVP and Volunteer Center of the Redwoods (VCOR) have joined with the city of Arcata to establish the “Home Away from Home” program by hosting these community potlucks. “Dinner with Friends” is a beginning program to host dinners and social gatherings in community members’ homes for interested students, particularly students of color and others unsure of their welcome in the community. Persons interested in helping with future potlucks and/or becoming a “Dinner with Friends” host, can contact RSVP/VCOR at 630-5081 or vcor@a1aa.org. Terry Uyeki, McKinleyville

Shot in the Dark

With SB 277 fully in effect, parents explore shrinking options By Linda Stansberry linda@northcoastjournal.com

Thinkstock

espite fears, it appears that California Senate Bill 277, the controversial public health law that prohibits children from attending public school unless they have been vaccinated against a spectrum of diseases such as Hepatitis B, measles, polio and rubella, has not had a signficant impact on enrollment in local schools. (“Prepare for Impact,”Aug. 25, 2016.) But with the expiration of the Personal Belief Exemption that had allowed some parents to evade requirements, anti-vaccination holdouts are weighing increasingly limited options when it comes to their children’s education. First, the numbers: In the 2016-2017 school year, Humboldt County lagged behind the rest of the state for fully-immunized kindergarten students, with only 86.7 percent of kids entering school with all their shots as compared to the state average of 95.6 percent. Humboldt County seventh graders with their required Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis) vaccines also trailed the state average, with 94.8 percent having received their shots (versus 98.3 percent). But these numbers represent a slight improvement over the 20152016 school year, with a curiously correlative 4.7 percent more kindergarteners and seventh graders enrolling with all of their shots in Humboldt County. While specific numbers on how many

families might be keeping their kids out of school due to vaccination objections aren’t available from the Humboldt County Office of Education, the office was able to confirm that the regulation hasn’t decimated numbers in local schools, as some had feared “In general, schools across Humboldt County have not seen significant enrollment decreases as a result of the enhanced S.B. 277 immunization requirements,” said Heidi Moore-Guynup, county assistant superintendent of educational services in a formal statement. “We believe this is because of the general consensus among families across our county that immunizations are an important preventative factor in keeping our young people and our schools healthy.” Anecdotally, staff and teachers at local schools also had little to report by way of the legislation’s impact. Some of the smaller schools, which were anticipating a big hit to enrollment numbers and funding once S.B. 277 was fully in place, say most local families have bitten the bullet and gotten their kids’ shots up to date. “Most of our kids that are here have been here,” says Jennifer Glueck, superintendent and principal of Big Lagoon Elementary, which last year had a total enrollment of 23 students. “The converContinued on page 8 »

sation here is going to be different than in other schools. No one batted an eyelash at the requirements.” Bettina Eipper, director of Coastal Grove Charter School in Arcata, which last year saw 36 percent of its student body entering with personal belief exemptions, says the requirements were a non-issue for them as well. “People are just complying with the regulations,” Eipper told the Journal. “Whatever the rules are, we follow them. There was a lot of anticipation last year to see what would happen, but people just ended up making their decisions.” Use of the Personal Belief Exemption, which allowed parents with personal and religious objections to immunization to skirt the requirements, officially expired on July 1, 2016, although families who had submitted their PBEs prior to Jan. 1, 2016 were exempt for the next grade span. Some children who weren’t at the “checkpoints” of either kindergarten or seventh grade were also grandfathered in with partial or no vaccinations, meaning the true impact of the law on enrollment won’t be known for several years. In the meantime, parents who remained steadfast in their decision not to vaccinate their kids must get medical exemptions from a doctor — a challenging task. “I spoke with our local pediatrician about obtaining a medical exemption, even a temporary one, due to my concerns regarding my reaction and my oldest child having a similar reaction,” Brianna Owens, a local mother of four told the Journal in an email. “I wanted to discuss our family history and to possibly delay or avoid certain vaccinations.” Owens says she was hospitalized due to a reaction she had to a tetanus shot in her late 20s, and says her daughter had a similar, if less severe, reaction when she was immunized against tetanus, leading her to believe her family has an inherited vulnerability to some vaccines. But Owens’ pediatrician said he could only grant an exemption to the Tdap vaccine requirement for her children if she had documentation of an anaphylactic reaction. “My response was, ‘So my child has to die or come close to dying before you will accept that this procedure may not be safe for my family?’” Owens says. She has since found a different doctor, but still has been unable to get a medical exemption, an option that some parents have pursued out of county to the tune of many pages of paperwork and several hundred dollars. (There are several websites that list sympathetic doctors in California, although there don’t appear to be any in Humboldt County.)

In the meantime, Owens will be homeschooling her kids, as she did last year. She refers to S.B. 277 as a violation of “human and civil rights,” as it has denied her children the right to free and public education. She was one of 20 plaintiffs in a 2016 federal lawsuit seeking to block the law. The judge in the case, Dana Sabraw, ruled against Owens and her co-plaintiffs, refusing to halt implementation of the new law. “S.B. 277 has become an inconvenience to my family,” Owens says. “Last year my healthy children reached the law’s ‘checkpoints’ and our PBEs were no longer valid. We were segregated and forced to do independent study in order to comply with the law. Children with HIV, AIDS, [Hepatitis B], mononucleosis, etc., can attend school. There is no law preventing them from attending school, nor should there be. But healthy children, free of disease, are denied a free public education.” Karen Ashmore, a teacher and principal at Mattole Unified School District in Southern Humboldt, says that she has heard concerns similar to Owens’ from other families, although, like other small school districts, she has not encountered significant enrollment issues due to the immunization requirements. Like other educators, Ashmore and her staff have helped parents work through their options, providing independent study and homeschooling programs as needed. “One family just started their own Christian school,” Ashmore says. “We’ve had all the information in our packet, and registration every year in the office. We were proactive with it.” As an educator in a small community (Honeydew School will have five pupils this year), Ashmore has had a front row seat to the impact of communicable diseases, having watched pertussis sweep through the Mattole Valley three times since she arrived in 1991. Ashmore also holds a degree in molecular biology and is concerned about the loss of herd immunity, which occurs when a community is 95 percent or more vaccinated, protecting the vulnerable among them, the very young and very old, and those who cannot be vaccinated, against infection and death. “We have staff members with infants and young toddlers,” she says. “As a biologist, I like to see the community up to date.” ● Linda Stansberry is a staff writer at the Journal.

Strumming Up a Case Local troubadour lead plaintiff in Eureka panhandling challenge By Linda Stansberry linda@northcoastjournal.com

ree speech or solicitation? A Humboldt County judge is slated to decide in October whether or not Oscar Leatherman, who has been busking in Eureka for three years, violated the city’s panhandling ordinance last year, when crooning on a street corner drew him a citation from Eureka police. Leatherman, who has since written a song about the series of events called “A Good Chameleon’s Hard to Find [On a Thin Blue Line],” has taken his case to the legal office of Peter Martin, the same attorney who challenged the city over the eviction of homeless encampments in the PalCo Marsh. When the amended panhandling ordinance passed in April of 2016, Martin’s office promised to challenge it as unconstitutional, and now it appears as though Leatherman will be the lead plaintiff in a case Martin plans to file by Oct. 2. The city’s “aggressive solicitation” ordinance has been amended and re-amended twice in the last decade, responding to the vagaries of local and federal legal challenges. In 2012, the Eureka City Council voted to change some language governing where people can ask for money after Martin’s office successfully challenged a similar law in Arcata. In that case, Humboldt County Superior Court Judge Dale Reinholtsen left allowances for Arcata to prohibit soliciting money near ATMs and on public buses, and Eureka duly added those locations to its own ordinance. Then, in 2015, Sacramento County faced a legal challenge to its own ordinance but escaped with a ruling that left intact some

language prohibiting solicitation in parking lots, at bus stops and gas stations, and from drivers of motor vehicles. This was the go-ahead Eureka city attorney Cyndy Day-Wilson needed to proceed with similar amendments to Eureka’s ordinance, which — despite some consternation and fiery comments from the public — the city council passed on March 15, 2016. Martin’s office promised to challenge the law. It wouldn’t be long before a case began to come together. The basic facts of the interactions between Leatherman and EPD aren’t really in dispute. Leatherman says he was initially approached near a street corner across from Eureka Natural Foods on May 13, 2016, by police Sgt. Rodrigo Reyna-Sanchez, who “harassed” him by telling him about the panhandling ordinance and then retreating to his nearby cruiser, from which he watched Leatherman for close to an hour. Reyna-Sanchez’s supervisor, Capt. Brian Stephens, says the sergeant advised Leatherman of the new ordinance, handed him a yellow card with details, then went back to his vehicle to watch and confirm that Leatherman was, in fact, accepting money as he performed in violation of the recently passed ordinance, which prohibits soliciting money from people “traveling in a motor vehicle” or while “located within 35 feet of a driveway providing vehicular access to a shopping center, retail, or business establishment.” Leatherman’s station near BevMo and Jack in the Box on 14th Street, where he was belting out tunes such as “Change It,” “Leaping Lapdogs” and “Fucking on the

Side” accompanied by his faithful Chihuahua-Jack Russell mix “Boots,” fell within those parameters, according to Stephens. But Leatherman insists that busking is considered “artistic free speech” under the U.S. Constitution and therefore not prohibited. So he persisted, calling Stephens to complain about Reyna-Sanchez and continuing to stand at the intersection with Boots, his guitar and amplifier, angled to treat the employees of Eureka Natural Foods to his Zappa-influenced grooves. He also performed at other locations in Eureka, during farmers markets and Arts Alive. (Stephens says those are “permitted events” and therefore not an issue.) Leatherman also researched U.S. case law around busking, such as the 2007 Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Decision in White v. City of Sparks [Nevada], which allowed artist Steve White to publicly sell his art. When an officer approached Leatherman holding a copy of the panhandling ordinance and saying, “I have something you should read,” Leatherman says he shot back with, “I have something you should read,” and proffered printed copies of U.S. Supreme Court decisions. Leatherman agrees that he was close enough to traffic to violate the ordinance, close enough that people have run over his guitar case once or twice, but insists what he was doing was not panhandling, and therefore the ordinance did not apply. “I could stand here all day with a sign that says, ‘Eureka Police Department sucks,’” and there’s nothing you could do about it,” he says. On June 20, 2017, officer Neil Hubbard gave Leatherman a ticket for solicitation. “I was really afraid of my stuff being messed with, about my guitar being impounded,” says Leatherman. As Hubbard wrote out the ticket on the hood of his car, Leatherman held up his hands and mocked the officer, saying, “I’m a bad, bad man.” He

says a passer-by gave him a $20 bill. The ticket was the final thing Martin and his law partner, Shelley Mack, needed to jumpstart their case, which aims to the constitutionality of the ordinance. Martin said the lawsuit should be filed before Oct. 2, when Leatherman is scheduled to face a court trial on his solicitation citation. If convicted, he faces a maximum fine of $1,000 and up to six months in county jail. “We are confident that the statute is unconstitutional,” says Mack, citing several cases across the country where the Supreme Court has struck down such ordinances. “Every challenge has been successful nationwide.” Martin’s office did not give specific details about the grounds under which they intend to challenge the law but in the suit challenging a similar law in Arcata, Martin described “begging” as being covered under the First Amendment, describing it as a “charitable solicitation.” Mack says the 2015 U.S. Supreme Court case Reed v. Town of Gilbert “basically made anti-panhandling cases unconstitutional.” In the Reed case, the court ruled that municipalities could not make content-based regulations prohibiting temporary signage in public spaces, which would make flying a sign for spare change constitutionally protected speech. Leatherman, who can still be found playing his guitar across from Eureka Natural Foods, continues to beat the drum on the distinction between busking and panhandling, but his attorneys appear to be taking aim at the ordinance as a whole. The office may also look to include other plaintiffs who received panhandling citations under different circumstances. l Linda Stansberry is a staff writer at the Journal.

I feel I have to to start there following news story after news story about people protesting “free speech rallies” when what they are actually protesting is the gathering of Nazis and white nationalists and the spouting of racist ideas. These images give me chills: mobs of people who wear white hoods or carry torches or wave Confederate flags or swastikas. But also terrifying is the idea of people protesting free speech. The problem is one of euphemisms. These are bland or positive words or phrases used to hide or make digestible unpleasant concepts. My go to example is California’s Proposition 187 in 1994, which some marketing genius titled “Save Our State.” I suspect many people who voted for it didn’t realize they voted to prohibit undocumented residents from getting emergency healthcare or their children from getting a public education. There are lots of euphemisms: “Enhanced interrogation” comes to mind. You might have been “downsized” from your job. There’s “collateral damage” in war and “ethnic cleansing.” There is a president who is “loose with the facts.” There’s the “Alt-Right” in place of white nationalists. I return again and again to my “Save Our State” example because it taught me how dangerous euphemisms can be. I’m not sure the California-proud title fooled people as much as it gave them a psychological excuse to vote for the measure or to shame them out of voting against it. Being called a Nazi is so bad that if you organize a rally around the term, you might only draw a small crowd. But if you call that rally a “free speech” event, it allows way more people to come forward who accept the same concepts as the people who proudly call themselves Nazis. That’s basic marketing. You call Pop Tarts breakfast and get parents to inject their kids with sugar first thing in the morning. (I am NOT calling parents who do this Nazis! I have friends who give their kids Pop Tarts.)

The danger is that people accept the euphemism who are not the consumers of the concept. So a “free speech” rally that is really a rally of white nationalists now attracts a whole bunch of counter-protesters. They protest the ideas of white nationalism. But the news stories talk about people coming out to protest a free speech rally. Hence: Free Speech = Nazism. Your intention to protest Nazism can turn you into an anti-free speech fascist. (You’re probably a Pop Tart parent to boot!) These connections send chills down my spine. In this column in May, I explained why I would defend Ann Coulter’s right to speak at a college campus even though I disagree with just about everything she says. The First Amendment in this country gives us the right to express ourselves without landing in jail and is intended to protect speech you disagree with, not speech you like. It exists to protect minority opinions. The reason you want to protect that First Amendment right is because you don’t know when you might find yourself in the minority. It is way more dangerous to cede your right to express yourself on the offchance bullies come to power than to let bullies say things now that you don’t like. The irony of people coming out to protest Nazism disguised as free speech is that Nazis came to power in Germany in large part because Nazi marketing genius Joseph Goebbels figured out how to control the media and censor anti-Nazi messages. In today’s Germany, it is against the law to display the swastika. Some people say we should do that here and ban the Confederate flag as well. But banning Nazi symbols in Germany didn’t make Nazis disappear. Neo-Nazis still exist in Germany, as does a political party that espouses Nazi ideals. Here in this country, it wasn’t that long ago that the government tried to silence people pushing for civil rights by connecting the concept to communism. Right

now, our controllers of speech aren’t in the government, but largely in the technology campuses of Google, Twitter, Facebook and Apple. There they are coming up with ways to cleanse our social media of dangerous messages. That in itself is dangerous. Any parent knows that if you tell your kid she can’t have something she will only want it more. Banning a book gives it sex appeal. One reason some gravitate toward the swastika is that it shouts fuck you! like nobody’s business. You can’t ban bad ideas but you can shout them down. That’s the idea behind the First Amendment. Good speech drowns out bad speech in the free marketplace of ideas. So go protest Nazism. Protest white nationalism. Protest racism. But don’t fall into the trap of equating that with protesting free speech. Don’t accept the euphemism. Don’t spread it. Because what happens is that the person who isn’t paying as much attention will grab onto the euphemism. Hearing that thousands of people are protesting a free speech rally, children will hear that free speech is bad. People too busy putting their fantasy sports teams together and watching Game of Thrones will hear how exciting the anti-free speech rally was. And before you know it, we have people calling for limits to expression in social media, in our businesses, workplaces, schools then in our movies, theaters and books. Right now, you might be in the majority of ethically correct speech. But what happens when the next generation or the one after that gravitates toward the sexy minority opinion? Suddenly they become the majority and call for the repression of your speech, your ideas. At that point you will appreciate the protection the First Amendment gives you. You need to appreciate it now. l Marcy Burstiner teaches journalism at Humboldt State University.

County Hit With $2.5 Million Verdict

federal jury in McKinleyville on Aug. 28 awarded $2.5 million in damages to the family of a man who died at the Humboldt County jail in 2014, finding three correctional officers acted negligently when they failed to properly screen him before putting him in a sobering cell. The jury also found that the county failed to adequately train the three officers, who the jury determined did not act with malice or a conscious disregard for human life. Having sat through four and a half days of testimony and argument in the case, the jury of six men and two women deliberated for about 10 hours before arriving at its unanimous verdict. Daren Ethan Borges, 42, was homeless, schizophrenic and living in Eureka at the time of his June 13, 2014, arrest on suspicion of public intoxication. Eureka police officers arrested him at about 2:15 p.m. near the corner of Seventh and D streets, and booked him into the jail at about 2:40 p.m. Correctional officers placed Borges alone in a sobering cell, where he was found unresponsive at about 4 p.m. About 20 minutes later, he was pronounced dead at a local hospital. Brought on behalf of Borges’ mother, Stephany Borges, and filed by Southern California attorneys Dale Galipo and John Fattahi, the federal civil rights lawsuit initially named a variety of defendants. But after several dismissals and a $250,000 settlement with California Forensic Medical Group, Inc., which handles medical services at the jail on a contract basis, it went to trial Aug. 21 naming only the county, former Sheriff Mike Downey and four correctional officers — Tim Hershberger, David Swim, Terri Bittner and Tim Hammer — as defendants. During closing arguments Aug. 25, Galipo argued that the correctional officers, whom he said the county had failed to adequately train, didn’t follow policy and acted negligently when they rushed Borges through the booking process — despite his being dis-

oriented, incoherent and obviously intoxicated — and placed him in a sobering cell instead of summoning a registered nurse to medically screen him. Had they summoned the nurse, Galipo argued, they would have learned Borges was in the midst of a medical emergency brought on by his consumption of a potentially lethal dose of methamphetamine, and taken him to the hospital, which likely would have saved his life. In her closing argument, the county’s attorney Nancy Delaney countered that the correctional officers did everything they could and that Borges appeared aware of his surroundings and coherent when he was booked into custody. And, she pointed out, a nurse came and checked on him through his cell window about 20 minutes after he was booked, and saw no reason for alarm. Borges’ death was “tragic and sad,” she said, but unpreventable after he ingested a lethal dose of methamphetamine. The jury apparently disagreed, finding that Hammer, Swim and Bittner acted negligently — and without proper training — when they admitted Borges into the jail without getting him medically screened and treated. However, the jury did not find Hershberger, the other officers’ supervisor that day, acted negligently and rejected a charge that Downey was also responsible for disregarding a known training deficiency. The county has already filed a motion challenging the verdict and intends to file another in the coming weeks. Immediately after the verdict, Galipo praised the jury for taking the case seriously and valuing the life of a man who was clearly lost and in distress and, at the time of his death, addicted, mentally ill and homeless. “I’m very pleased with the verdict,” he said. “I think it was the right verdict. I think it was a courageous verdict and I think it was a verdict that I think reflects the value of human life.” — Thadeus Greenson

Who Owns Your Pot? By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

ho owns that marijuana plant you’ve been tending on the hill? You might think it’s the property of the landowner, the one paying you to garden for her. Maybe you think it belongs to that cancer patient you’ve been caretaking? Perhaps you think it’s yours? Increasingly — however — it’s possible that plant is the intellectual property of some far off company that secured a patent on its genetic makeup. It sounds crazy, especially here in Humboldt County where cannabis has been grown for generations and mom and pop growers have spent years developing unique strains, but there’s a patent war brewing and the future of the cannabis industry — and its projected $40 billion in annual revenue — is at stake. It’s no secret that investors have been increasingly lining up at the industry’s door. Recent reports have Silicon Valley venture firm Benchmark Capital putting $8 million into Oakland startup Hound Labs, which is busily trying to create a cannabis intoxication testing device for law enforcement. Tech mogul Peter Thiel, the man who sunk Gawker and co-founded PayPal, has an investment group, Founders Fund, that has reportedly put millions into Privateer Holdings, the firm that launched Marley Natural, the pot brand named after the reggae legend. Then there’s Arcview, an Oakland-based cannabis investment group that has raised more than $130 million in recent years, according to a report in STAT. Those are just a few, but the list goes on and on and on. But the fight to cash in on cannabis seems to be entering a new arena: the lucrative world of creative property rights and patents. In many ways, it makes sense, as genetics have long dominated the marijuana industry, with “it” strains periodically dominating the lion’s share of the market, from Mendo Purp to OG Kush to Trainwreck to Girl Scout Cookies. And patents certainly control current agricultural markets, allowing industry behemoth Monsanto to sue farmers for planting its particular variety of corn without buying the seeds from a licensed vendor. Last year, the U.S. Patent and Trade Office issued Patent No. 0905554, its first-ever patent for a plant containing significant amounts of THC, the primary psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, to a group of three breeders that included Michael Backes, author of Cannabis Pharmacy. At the time, Backes told Vice that his lawyers expected there to be a ton of patents already on file

for cannabis genetics but were shocked to find none. According to a fabulously interesting — and somewhat terrifying — article on the cover of this week’s GQ magazine, Backes recently worked at BioTech Institute, a mysterious, deep-pocketed company that industry insiders believe is working feverishly to register a host of utility patents — the strongest intellectual-property protection available for field crops in the United States, which essentially treats them like books, songs or other works of art — for cannabis. If granted, some fear the patents would allow BioTech to claim rights to large swaths of cannabis genetics, allowing them to charge licensing fees from growers, manufacturers and retailers that deal with certain strains. (Monsanto has used such patents to prevent farmers from planting the seeds harvested from their crops, forcing them to instead buy more Monsanto seeds every year.) But the GQ article notes that marijuana “outlaws” are pushing back. The reporter, Amanda Chicago Lewis, recounts a recent breakfast she had with Kevin Jodrey, a prominent figure in the local weed industry who started Garberville’s Wonderland Nursery. Jodrey told Lewis that he’s been encouraging farmers to get their strains genetically sequenced by a Portland scientist by the name of Mowgli Holmes, who has created a system allowing growers to register their strain genetics into the public domain, leaving them open to use by anyone. But farmers are suspicious, Jodrey notes, fearing Holmes intends to steal the genetics for himself. As local growers and manufacturers continue to jump through hoops on the road to compliance with the hopes of one day seeing their product selling legally in recreational markets, the nation’s wealthiest investors are following the Monsanto model. Consider this, of the roughly 2.36 billion bushels of corn harvested in the United States annually, about 80 percent of it is genetically patented by Monsanto. So, who owns that cannabis garden on the hill that you’ve been busy watering and prepping for harvest? Maybe it’s you, maybe it’s your patient, maybe it’s your boss. But if any of those folks want to continue to own it in a few years, unimpeded by patent lawsuits, they should start looking past licenses and permits into the very genetic makeup of the plants. That, it appears, will be where fortunes are won and lost. l Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor. Reach him at 442-1400, extension 321, or thad@northcoastjournal.com.

Cemetery Rising

A small group of volunteers brings back Myrtle Grove, one marker at a time By Kimberly Wear kim@northcoastjournal.com

wo small gravestones with simple, hand-etched inscriptions rest side-by-side at Myrtle Grove Memorial Cemetery, quietly imparting the loss bore by Henry and Clara Reilinger. One is for their daughter, Amelia, who was 1 month and 20 days old when she died on June 23, 1872. She shares a marker with her brother, whose engraving merely reads “infant son.” The second is for another boy, Lewis, who died three years later at 7 months and 15 days. The couple, both German immigrants, had already lost three other infants before their arrival in Eureka. Four more are believed to be buried with Amelia, Lewis and their brother, but there are no stones. Perhaps their markers were made of wood, a common practice in the early days, and crumbled over time. Or maybe the parents were too grief-stricken to memorialize their children’s passing. It’s difficult to say. The Myrtle Grove grounds hold many secrets.

The Buhne family mausoleum. Photo by Eric Mueller What is known is the Reilingers were not alone. Commissioned in 1861, the cemetery was founded at a time when far too many children did not live to take their first steps. Nearby, another headstone is dedicated to the three Bryne babies. Little is known about them. The same is true for a little girl buried in another corner of the cemetery who seems lost, her last name different from those on the grave markers surrounding her. Others defied the odds. Like Hugh Donal McTavish, one of the 167 Civil War veterans buried at Myrtle Grove. He enlisted in the Union Army at 15 and later served in World War I. Born in 1846, he lived to see the United States enter World War II before dying four years short of his 100th birthday. There are also monuments to the city’s early kingmakers: Vance, Carson, Buhne. The list goes on. Five mausoleums with imposing granite walls and marbled interiors dot the grounds. Young, old, rich, poor

— this was where generations of Eureka residents buried their dead. But over the ensuing decades, many of the tributes, like the cream-colored oblong stones the Reilingers placed as a last goodbye to their children, began to disappear into the dirt or fall into disrepair — lost to time, the elements and neglect. That is, until now. Leading the effort to restore this 10-acre corner of Eureka’s history is Kirby Nunn, a retired air traffic controller with piercing blue eyes, a no-nonsense manner and a passion for genealogy. Part groundskeeper, part historian, part alchemist and part bookkeeper, she’s mustered together a small cadre of volunteers to bring the grassy expanse back from the brink of obscurity. “Whatever we do here, if it’s continued, it’s going to outlive us,” Nunn says. “It’s a rare opportunity. This is going to go beyond us, as long as people are willing to stand up and perpetuate that.” Like many others, the 64-year-old spent

years driving by the stone wall topped with a wrought iron railing that lines Myrtle Avenue thinking the cemetery was closed. A volunteer for the website Find a Grave, she first walked onto the grounds in 2015, carrying a list of 25 names whose burial sites she hoped to locate and photograph. She didn’t find any of them that day. In fact, she still hasn’t. But Nunn found something else: A cemetery in need. Overgrown with grass, decades of dirt covering cracked headstones, she knew something had to be done. So, Nunn made an offer the financially-strapped city parks department couldn’t refuse. “I said, ‘I’d like to start taking care of this place,” she recalls. After a partnership was struck, Nunn walked out of city hall with a stack of paperwork and a set of keys to the cemetery gates. “I went through all the records and almost cried,” she says.

What she had acquired was a disjointed archive with gaps and missing pages, an incomplete chronicling of those buried in the cemetery over 153 years. Nunn set about righting that as well. It’s a work in progress, updated with newly uncovered headstones. Still, within those pages, there are hundreds of “unknowns.” There are names listed in the cemetery’s ledger without corresponding locations of burial. There are plots with no name attached. The search continues to fill in those blanks. There are, Nunn says, “quite a few question marks.” Behind every grave at Myrtle Grove there is a life story that Nunn and the other volunteers are determined to make sure is told. “Eureka wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for the people who are buried here,” Nunn says. Generations ago, this was a place tended by family members and the fraternal organizations that were so much at the center of the city’s early social fabric. Memorial Day ceremonies were large community events. The organizations and families that owned the plots planted rose gardens and palm trees inside the fences and built curbing to create partitions. A serpentine path in a section known as “the circle,” where most family plots are located, once led up to individual gravesites. When the cemetery was built in 1861,

early accounts declared the site covered with a Myrtle tree grove to be “an ideal location far enough out of the main town so there would be no homes built nearby.” “They hadn’t heard of urban sprawl,” Nunn notes. As the years passed, the city rose up around the cemetery, families moved away, relatives of the buried died themselves and connections to the place began to unravel. Myrtle Grove became overgrown and fell out of favor, especially once privately-owned Sunset Memorial Park opened in 1932, offering perpetual care. While there were sporadic restoration efforts, the cemetery continued to languish. In 1957, a last great push was made. All the personal touches were removed, headstones were stacked along a fence so the grass could be burned and the ground leveled. A new lawn was planted. When put back in place, once-standing markers were laid flat to make maintenance easier in an era before weed-whackers. The cemetery’s care was then turned over to the city. At first, the city assigned a supervisor just for the cemetery, but the upkeep of parks eventually fell lower and lower on the city’s list of priorities. In recent years, budget crunches have left the park’s department with a small staff and Continued on next page »

few resources to dedicate to a place that seemed virtually forgotten by most. Without the dedication of Nunn and the other volunteers, Eureka Parks and Recreation Director Miles Slattery says the cemetery restoration project would not have been possible. “It’s a huge thing, not only that they help with the maintenance of the property but they also have the knowledge and the wherewithal to take it back to where it needs to be,” Slattery says. Now, he says, the parks department is exploring the possibility of interpretive opportunities that could tie into plans for nearby Cooper Gulch, noting the general draw of cemeteries with deep histories, like Myrtle Grove. It’s not that Nunn had experience managing a cemetery. Weed-whacking wasn’t even in her repertoire before she took on the endeavor. But with a do-it-yourself attitude, she set to work. Nunn called Arlington National Cemetery to find out how to clean markers and the restoration department at the GreenWood Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York, itself a National Historic Monument, for tips on repairing headstones. She learned the right mixture of hydraulic lime to create mortar. When she didn’t know how to do something, Nunn turned to the Internet. While she didn’t go out recruiting, word of what she was doing began to spread. “People,” Nunn says, “just started showing up.” One of them was Milton Phegley, who says he likes to refer to the tight-knit group of a dozen or so regular volunteers as “Kirby’s army.” Phegley didn’t have far to go, having just moved back into his childhood home located nearby after retirement. Soft-spoken as he might be, there’s no mistaking the note of pride in his voice when he says his family has lived in Humboldt County for four generations. “The cemetery has always been part of my neighborhood, so it’s very exciting to come back to help,” Phegley says. Each volunteer brings something to the table. Several, like Phegley, have a knack for research, providing the narrative behind the lives of those buried here. Another, Larry Jean, is a sculptor. His work is evident in what Nunn describes as their “flagship stone,” which marks the grave of Thomas K. Carr, born in 1860 and one of the city’s early settlers. Only portions were visible when Nunn and another volunteer, Tim Kilburn, began digging around and unearthed a jumble of pieces. Jean, who also recreates missing letters, then painstakingly reconstructed

what time had broken apart. Had it been left in that state for another 20 to 30 years, “you wouldn’t have been able to see anything,” Nunn says. “To me, that’s a big deal right here.” Other volunteers, like Kilburn on a recent day, haul dirt provided by the city to fill in hollows that develop over gravesites or provide the brute strength needed to right the stones laid down all those decades ago. Weighing hundreds to thousands of pounds, many have sunk below the surface. More still wait to be uncovered. “In the beginning, it was finding the stones that were buried,” Kilburn says. “That was exciting. Then it moved into raising them back up. That was also exciting.” Once vertical, several have revealed long-hidden secrets. In one couple’s case, the wife’s name had been etched on the side obscured by the ground. Another had intricate etchings of a veil that almost appears to move across the polished marble. The top, which had been concealed under inches of soil, is a book carved out of solid stone. “I think that’s the one that really got me excited because it has a book on it,” Nunn says. Behind the words there is a semblance of frustration and a drive to make things right. “When people put special things on headstones, it has significance to the people who put it there. … That was a significant thing in their life,” she continues. “So I became more passionate about standing up all the ones that need to be stood up.” About 50 have reclaimed their place. Another 300, including the Reilinger markers, are still awaiting their turn. Section by section, row by row, the cemetery is rising again. Walking around the grounds, Phegley is an encyclopedia of knowledge. He seems to know something about almost every headstone, which family married which, where they once lived, which businesses they owned, even what their descendants are doing today. “Part of the restoration is just getting people aware of and then keeping them interested in the cemetery,” Phegley says. There are people, he notes, with relatives buried here who can help fill in the gaps, but that information could disappear if they’re not asked. Kneeling on the ground, Phegley gently wipes dirt away from the headstone of the little girl whose name differs from those in the adjoining plots.

grave, he wonders if maybe family friends offered to bury her in their plot. Hers is yet another story waiting to be told. Looking out at the lawn she just finished trimming, Nunn says they’ve accomplished much in just a couple of years. She gestures across the grounds at the interspersing of headstones. “We raised that one over there, those over there,” she says. The work has been made easier by the efforts of community members like Brian

Papstein, who helped secure grants from the Sign and Ruth Smith Fund of the Rotary Club of Eureka and the Christine and Jalmer Berg Foundation. Those funds, which Slattery says are kept in a donation account earmarked for the cemetery, paid for a bright orange rider mower from Shafer’s Ace Hardware — which just happens to nearly match the shade of Nunn’s trademark T-shirt. The business also put together an extended

package of supplies and tools for the volunteers to use. Like the saying goes, Nunn says, it takes a village. An Air Force veteran, Nunn’s initial goal had been simple: Prepare the grounds for a Memorial Day event, something the cemetery hadn’t seen in years. She started in the veterans’ section and raised a flag there last November for the first time in decades. But, there’s still more work to be done. The list is endless: keeping the grass mowed, fixing headstones, raising them up, updating records and uncovering the stories behind the estimated 6,000 men, women and children buried there. When the ground is soft enough, the volunteers search for more markers, meticulously walking row by row, pushing a probe that resembles a child’s pogo stick down into the ground, inch by inch. So far, more than 200 have been reclaimed. “Every day, every time we’ve gone probing,” Nunn says, “we’ve found something. One day we found seven but that was an unusual day.” With 6,000 recorded burials and 2,200 markers, there are still more out there — including the 25 that Nunn originally came looking for. “There are some we’re never going to find. Some were made of wood and disintegrated. Or, they never had a marker,”

Nunn says. That’s especially true for one section, the rolling lawn of the north-east corner, which stands in stark contrast to the rest of the cemetery. Here, except for a scant three headstones, the expanse is bare — devoid of monuments or polished marble markers with fond farewells to departed loved ones. This is where the county buried its poor or those with no family to claim their remains. As they were in life, many of the 200 or so people laid to rest here remain relegated to the margins of society. Some of their death records offer no more about them than a racial epithet followed only by a first name. “One thing on my wish list is to put up a monument in the county section with the names we do know,” Nunn says. More research to be done. More stories left to tell. While the 10-acre parcel might never be Arlington National Cemetery or GreenWood, her goal is to bring Myrtle Grove up to the level of an historic park. “How do you go on a historic tour of the Vance building and go by the Ingomar Club and not come here and look at where Vance and Carson were buried?” Nunn asks. “It just all goes together.” Looking through the lens of decades spent in city planning, Phegley says he also sees more than just a cemetery. “It’s valuable open space where people

can come and walk and learn about the county’s history and see the handiwork of the people of the past,” Phegley says. Someday, when everyone has been found and their markers put back in place, the cemetery will just be in need of maintenance. For the time being, Nunn says, she’s happy to help. But, hopefully at some point, others will stand up to help pay their work forward. Nunn looks down at a block of old stone. The letters on the obviously homemade marker were almost unreadable. “It was done out of love,” she says of the rough etching. “It was someone who cared about that person and did what they could.” Once they find out who the grave is for, Nunn hopes to have another marker made, not as a replacement but as something to let people know who is there. Having spent decades researching her own lineage, Nunn has journeyed to cemeteries all over the country to visit family markers. She wants to make sure that those with relatives at Myrtle Grove have the same opportunity, ensuring those buried there are never forgotten. “People have legacies in their children and grandchildren. I don’t have children,” she says. “This is it.” ● Kimberly Wear is a staff writer and assistant editor at the Journal. Reach her at 442-1400, extension 323, or kim@ northcoastjournal.

Celebrating Local Food Month

5pm - 10pm Fri-Sat

2850 F Street, Eureka, CA

he light has turned from summer’s glare to fall’s golden glow. The changing of the light heralds the changing of the season. September is the month of bounty, when both summer and fall produce are available together. This convergence of seasons makes September the perfect choice to celebrate as Local Food Month. Now in its 11th year in Humboldt County, Local Food Month is billed as “a project of community members and organizations with a passion for local food and farming,” the project offers the public a variety of chances to taste and appreciate the products of our county, and also to learn about the people behind them. As in previous years, expect tasty options on the menu. Here, I’ll serve up just a few morsels — for a complete list of events and relevant details, check the calendar at www.localfoodmonth.org. Local produce and producers take center stage at farmers markets and farm stands — they’re the perfect places to celebrate and we have a good number in Humboldt County. A dilemma this time of the year is how to make this season last into less bountiful times. Starting Saturday, Sept. 9, and continuing each Saturday of the month at the farmers market in Arcata, the Master Food Preservers will have a table with information about food preservation and dehydration demonstrations. At both its Arcata and Eureka locations, the North Coast Co-op offers Eat Local inspired demos on topics ranging from eggs to honey to greens. And don’t forget the traditional Eat Local Challenge, for which you can sign up at the stores or at the North Coast Growers’ Association’s farmers markets in Arcata, Eureka and McKinleyville. There are four levels: committed localvore, in which you strive for at least one meal a week made from only locally grown or processed foods; lifestyle

localvore in which you strive for at least one meal a day made from only locally grown or processed foods; extreme localvore, pledging at least one meal per week of only locally grown food; and hardcore localvore, eating at least one meal a day of only locally grown food. I am issuing a small challenge of my own: Try buying and preparing a newto-you local food item or a new variety of some produce. Pick something that piques your curiosity, ask the vendor what it is and how to prepare it. Give your taste buds something new to explore and appreciate. I regularly reissue this challenge to myself and it has been great fun. What about on-site visits? Options include a Redwood Roots Farm open house on Sunday, Sept. 10, from 1 to 4 p.m. on Jacoby Creek Road (look for the banner at the Old Arcata Road intersection) in Bayside. Both produce and flowers will be available for purchase. On Tuesday, Sept. 6, at 5:30 p.m., the Humboldt Permaculture Guild invites the community to an educational tour of Lost Foods Native Plant Nursery (Redwood Acres, 3750 Harris St., gate #3, Eureka), where you can learn how to integrate California natives into your edible landscapes. On Saturday, Sept. 30, from 1 to 3 p.m., Shakefork Community Farm in Carlotta (look for the sign on State Route 36) will offer a farm tour, including a garden tour, pasture walkabout and the popular oxen demo. Anyone interested in getting some of Shakefork’s farm-raised meats, eggs,

strawberries and veggies will be able to do some shopping. Also on Sept. 30, you can enjoy a Taste of Willow Creek, a fall festival featuring live music, performances, vendors, silent auction, raffles and wine tasting with amuse-bouche pairings. Visit www.tasteofwillowcreek.com for details. Here’s something a bit different: The Humboldt Food Policy Council will host a Food Art Show at the Redwood Arts Association Gallery (603 F St., Eureka), featuring food-inspired paintings and drawings by over a dozen local artists. An artists’ reception will be held during Arts Alive! on Saturday, Sept. 2, from 6 to 9 p.m. If you miss the reception, don’t’ worry — the show will be up all month so you can visit it during gallery hours, Wednesday through Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. And then a movie night! On Saturday, Sept. 23, from 7 to 9 p.m., enjoy a wine and cheese gala at the Minor Theater in Arcata for the movie Locally Grown: America’s New Food Revolution, a 30-minute documentary that takes viewers to the frontlines of a vibrant movement in our own Humboldt County, where committed people are striving to change lives through how they grow and eat their food. Tickets are $20, with proceeds going to support Locally Delicious, Inc., a nonprofit organization engaged in education about the benefits of eating locally grown, organic food. l Simona Carini also writes about her adventures in the kitchen on her blog www.pulcetta.com.

Looking at a Statue Looking at the Stars Installations by John Hylton at Piante Gallery By Gabrielle Gopinath artbeat@northcoastjournal.com

n John Hylton’s art installations, ravens lend a hand. Wooden pythons whiplash across the night sky. Rough-hewn wooden figures get lost in contemplation of a painted cosmos. This is a humanist cosmos, one that’s accessed via the gazing eye — no tech necessary beyond the retina. Scenarios mark intersections where understandings of the natural world based in ancient myth converge with those founded in science. Legends, myths and oral tradition from various cultures around the world indicate such conjunctions, the artist explains, which is why such texts are frequent starting points for his investigations. (Re-readings of the Middle English epic Beowulf and the ancient Greek poet Homer’s Odyssey prompted the creation of recent works.) Several of the multimedia works Hylton is showing through September at Piante Gallery in an exhibition curated by Sue Natzler explore legends that explain the origin of constellations. “Python” (2016) pairs a carved serpent with a painted caption that reads: “HE RAISES HIS TAIL, swept down a third of the stars from heaven and cast them to the earth.” “I’m creating objects to tell a new story about cosmology, the way the ancients of North America, the British Isles and the Oceanic areas tracked the cosmos and told stories of the stars,” Hylton says, “blending contemporary concerns with what I see as related structures and ideas from the earliest days of civilization.” Pursuit of that goal led him to adopt a conversational, integrational approach

Hylton’s installation “Eclipse” draws from Homer. Courtesy of the artist

that brought objects into a relation with painted images, and vice versa. “I always use whatever to tell a story,” he told me; “sticks and bits of wood. Old pieces of metal.” Back when he was studying glass blowing at Ohio State University, he “started combining stuff” with the molten glass from early on. Hylton recalls that growing up near the ancient indigenous site of Serpent Mound in southern Ohio fostered an early appreciation for markmaking encounters with the earth and sky. His experience with land art of the 1970s and ’80s and later encounters with the work of allegorically inclined postmodernists reinforced this inclination. Hylton has placed sculptures marking the solstice in the middle of a landscape and sculpted Charon as a wren. Points of conjunction where verifiable data matches up with ancient oral tradition often serve him as points of departure. In “Eclipse” (2017), a contorted body tangled in fishing net rests on the floor, sporting an off-kilter brass crown and an ungainly pair of driftwood wings that appear to bend backward at the wrists, as if broken; the sun’s pale disc has burned

its likeness into a vertically oriented slab of blackened wood affixed above. Hylton points out that eclipses were understood as metaphor in premodern cultures around the world and that one widespread interpretation involves the belief that the eclipse portends the death of a king or ruler. “I just finished reading Homer’s Odyssey,” he explains, “and I was struck by the fact that a vivid descriptive passage referencing the sun being obscured ‘by an evil mist’ could be linked to a historically documented eclipse,” one that the ancient poet might conceivably have experienced. Earlier this year, Hylton completed a permanent installation at the University of California at Santa Cruz Arboretum titled “Sunwatchers,” which reconfigured blocks of limestone left over from a disused quarry into a sundial format through the addition of a 14-foot central post and three life-size figures carved from wood. These figures raise rudimentary arms to their breasts in gestures of wonder, entreaty or contrition. Their blocky forms possess a massive gravitas. The faces that look out of the gray, weatherbeaten wood, with their simple, stricken affect, recall early 20th century expressionist ren-

derings filtered through the postmodern sensibility of neo-expressionist sculptors like Magdalena Abakanowicz, Anselm Kiefer, Martin Puryear and Kiki Smith. Like the other figures who appear in his installations, they appear entirely absorbed in their contemplation of the heavens. They also evoke ancient reference points, like the votive statuettes made in ancient Mesopotamia around the year 2500 BC. These small columnar figures in carved stone share a worshipful pose defined by clasped hands, huge, wide-open eyes and a fixed skyward gaze. They are believed to have functioned as worship surrogates that could embody the prayerful presence of the person who placed them within a temple precinct, even in that person’s absence. Like those votive figurines, Hylton’s lifesize figures exert a surrogate effect. We stare at them, while they stare at the cosmos in the painted skies before them, and it feels like they are looking at the stars for us, witnessing the stars’ evolutions in our stead. They are just about the size you imagine your shadow would be, if it took independent form and absorbed itself in contemplation of the stars. l

Setlist

Beer, Barbecue and Blues By Andy Powell

thesetlist@northcoastjournal.com

Thursday If you decide to call in sick to work tomorrow and make it a four-day weekend, start off at the Mad River Brewery Tap Room around 6 p.m. where you’ll hear some jazz tunes from Fred & Jr. (no relation) for free. Enjoy some tasty local beers and if you have too many, you may in fact be sick tomorrow. Solo guitar-slinger Piet Dalmolen returns to the Redwood Curtain Brewery at 8 p.m., playing his guitar licks and loops for free. I know he won’t refuse a tip, so help the guy get gas money so he can get back to Westhaven tonight. I wasn’t aware anyone had blended the musical genres of cumbia and punk music, but everything’s been done under the sun apparently. From East Los Angeles we have Thee Commons stopping by the Van Duzer Theater on Humboldt State University’s campus at 8 p.m. Not only do they blend these two styles well — with some psychedelia thrown in for good measure — but they’ve also gotten rave reviews from their local press with the LA Weekly naming one of their shows in “LA’s 20 Best Live Shows of 2016” so that’s something to doff your hat at. I can’t recall the last time I saw a $15 ticket price for a Center Arts show, so take advantage of this great deal. Claire Bent and Citizen Funk will be at the top of the hill in McKinleyville at 9 p.m. playing at Six Rivers Brewery for free, so stop in for a funky brew. What do these band names have in common: Utzalu, Ritual Knife, Zelosis and Primordial Wound? If you thought, “well, they all sound darkly overly-dramatic and therefore they must be metal bands,” you are correct! Metal is on the bill at The Jam at 10 p.m. with bands from Portland, Atlanta, Whitethorn and Seattle (respectively) and $8 will get you in the doors.

Friday

The funky jazz-improv stylings of LD51 will be on display this evening at the Mad River Brewery Tap room at 6 p.m. and, as usual, for free. Welcome the band to what could be (as I scan my memory) their first gig at MRB. Local Americana trio Kingfoot are at Redwood Curtain Brewery just

two hours later and also for free. At the same time you’ll find Celtic music from Whoops!, who are also playing for free at Cafe Mokka in Arcata. At 9 p.m. local funk heavy-hitters Motherlode stop into the Wave Lounge in the Blue Lake Casino and Hotel getting you to groove to their ’70s-inspired funk and Afrobeat sounds. This one’s free as well.

Saturday It’s the first Saturday of the month so that means it’s Arts Alive! in Old Town Eureka around 6 p.m. tonight. However, starting a bit before the arts get alive, Redwood Acres is hosting Acres of Blues which is a two-day blues festival starting at 9 a.m. this morning with musical acts Laurie Morvan Band, Lydia Pence and Cold Blood, Volkler Strifler, Pearl Alley Band and The Jim Lahman Band. I’m not clear on the order of performance but you’ve got some serious chops up throughout the day. You’ll get in for the day with $60 but if you buy tickets in advance (or for two days) you’ll save some money. Local yokels The Yokels return to the Mad River Brewery Tap room at 6 p.m. As always, a free show but feel free to leave some bread for the band. The Humboldt County Fair is in full swing at the fairgrounds in Ferndale and outside of rides and racing, you’ll find local blues and R&B favorites ShinBone playing around 6:30 p.m. Comprised of Rob Anderson, Rick DeVol, Robert Franklin and Chas Horn, I’m told “the closer to the bone, the sweeter the meat.” So go chow down. If you didn’t get your fill of Celtic music last night at Cafe Mokka, you’ve got another chance tonight at 8 p.m. with a free performance from Good Company at 8 p.m. It’s all ages as well, so bring the kiddos along from some hot cocoa. Object Heavy is bringing their funk and grooves to Humboldt Brews at 9:30 p.m. where they’ll be playing for $10. Get ready to sweat. A block or so away, you’ll find local psychedelic garage rockers White Manna at the Alibi with Shively “dirge punk” band Blackplate starting off around 11 p.m. Just $5 gets you into this mini psych-fest.

Sunday

It’s day two of Acres of Blues at the Redwood Acres Fairgrounds in Eureka starting around 10:30 a.m. The lineup today consists of Shane Dwight, Daniel Castro, AJ Crawdaddy, AC Myles and the Anna Hamilton Trio. Look above for pricing information. It’s the ninth annual SoHum Beer Fest & BBQ Smoke Off at the Mateel Community Center in Redway at 4 p.m., where you’ll find micro & homebrew tasting along with a “smorgasbord” of barbecue samplers all competing for the top prize, which you can help vote for. Live music is provided by Diggin’ Dirt and Back to the Hill, who are playing outside. It’s $15 gets for food and music, but consider dropping $30 to add beer to your menu. ShinBone is back at the Humboldt County Fair at 6:30 p.m. — look above for more details.

Tuesday Bluegrass is being provided at the Mad River Brewery Tap Room from Kindred Spirits at 6 p.m. and for free today. For

you bass freaks, there’s no better place to be that at the Van Duzer Theater at 8 p.m. for a performance from Thundercat, revolving around six-string bass master Stephen Bruner. He’s contributed to Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp a Butterfly and his music has a funky yet smooth jazz fusion sound at points. Imagine the bass taking the melodic role filled by a funky jazz guitarist and you’ve got a glimpse into what you’re in store for this steal of a $25 show. l Full show listings in the Journal’s Music and More grid, the Calendar and online. Bands and promoters, send your gig info, preferably with a high-res photo or two, to music@northcoastjournal.com. Andy Powell is a congenital music lover and hosts The Album of the Week Show on KWPT 100.3 FM Tuesdays at 6 p.m. If he had to pick one, it would probably be beer.

Dancing in the Streets Where’s the party? Take your pick. There are two hopping block parties happening this holiday weekend. You’ve got an extra day, why not make the last official weekend of summer count and hit both? Arts Alive! is always a lovely night on the town, but this September’s monthly art walk is especially bumping with the Opera Alley Block Party happening Saturday, Sept. 2 from 6-9 p.m. on the street in front of the Clarke Historical Museum (free admission). E Street between Second and Third will be closed to traffic to allow for all sorts of magic under the string lights and stars. There’ll be delicious sliders (cooked to order) from a portable rig, with Ramone’s serving up tasty treats, too. Have you tried The Booth Brewing Company’s Korean beer? Now’s your chance. The new brewery in town will be there along with long-time local staple Lost Coast Brewery pouring favorites (with root beer for the kids). Humboldt Distillery will keep things tropical with a Caribbean-style punch featuring its spiced rum, and Gabriel’s will be uncorking bottles of reds and whites. The Latin Peppers and Wynsome Winds will provide music for your dancing and listening pleasure. The fundraiser benefits the Opera Alley Exhibit Space Project. An Arcata tradition for 32 years, the I Block Party is back Monday, Sept. 4 from noon to 6 p.m. in front of Los Bagels (free admission). The family-friendly affair features live music from Daily Driver, The Jim Lahman Band, The Kentucky Warblers and The Bump Foundation. I Street is blocked off as well so revelers can mingle among friends and information/vendor booths enjoying local microbrews, cold drinks, barbecued chicken, tofu and albacore, as well as take part in a raffle and silent auction with free face painting for the kids. All proceeds benefit Arcata’s sister city Camoapa, Nicaragua. — Kali Cozyris

Take Your ’Cue Say it isn’t so! The kids are back at school and summer is winding down to its last hurrah. But before you drag your Weber back into the shed and toss the death shroud, er, tarp over it, light up the coals one last time, gather your friends and family, and raise your tongs to end of the sunshine season. Or, get all up in someone else’s grill and try their cooking. Two Sunday barbecues are coming up with cooks at the ready. Here are your options. SoHum knows how to sizzle. Over at the Mattole Grange it’s lit at the Beef & Beans Deep Pit BBQ on Sunday, Sept. 3 from noon to 3 p.m. ($15, $10 children 6-12, free for kids under 6). This deep pit, all-night roasted beef and traditional recipe beans meal could just be the grand finale for all your summer barbecues. Toss in roasted Shively sweet corn, drinks, pie, a Women’s Club Benefit Raffle, games and prizes, and you’ve got a perfect day. Help out by bringing your own cutlery and a side dish. You know the old adage: Where there’s smoke, there’s something happening at the Mateel Community Center. Follow your nose to the SoHum Beer Fest and BBQ Smoke Off Sunday, Sept. 3 from 4 to 9 p.m. (See how that works out? Take a half hour for your grange dinner to digest and head over to the Mateel for more. You’re welcome.) Sample and vote for your favorite barbecue and beers, and enjoy live music with Diggin Dirt and Way Out West on the Mateel Back 40 ($30 beer/food/music, $15 food/music). Unlimited micro/ homebrew tastings in a commemorative tasting glass, barbecue samplers and sides. Unlimited, you say? How mesquite it is. — Kali Cozyris

Lonely Terrain

Loss and desperation in Wind River and Good Time By John J. Bennett

filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

WIND RIVER. Taylor Sheridan would be most recognizable to many for his arc as Deputy Chief David Hale on the first couple of seasons of the TV series Sons of Anarchy. While he’s been plying his trade as a working actor for over two decades, he’s also been at the desk, grinding it out against the blank pages. In recent years, those efforts have borne beautiful, bitter fruit: He wrote the screenplays for Sicario (2015) — which I loved — as well as Hell or High Water (2016), one of the most beautifully photographed pictures in recent years, and a movie I’m surprised didn’t find a wider audience. Wind River finds him directing his own script and adding to a growing body of work unified by themes of loss, revenge and disempowerment in the contemporary American West. (He also directed a horror thing called Vile in 2011, which I have not seen and suspect stands apart from his written work.) These movies, violent and mournful as they are, don’t suit all tastes. But they all show the hand of a real writer at work, an individual whose “something to say” is strong enough that it can be heard over and through the added voices of different directors. Hollywood cinema is hardly a writer’s medium, so this is no small feat. And Wind River evinces a confidence and aptitude with the camera and actors equal to the strength of his story construction. Cory Lambert (Jeremy Renner) is a hunter employed by the Department of Fish and Wildlife to kill predators threatening livestock in rural Wyoming. In winter, while tracking a family of mountain lions that took a steer on the property of his estranged wife’s parents (on the Wind River Indian Reservation), he discovers the body of a young woman, barefoot and bloodied, miles from anywhere. He recognizes her as a family friend named Natalie (Kelsey Asbille), a connection that achieves deeper, sadder resonance as the story progresses. Cory notifies the chief of tribal police, Ben (Graham Greene), who in turn notifies the FBI. In a pointed

gesture, the Bureau dispatches a single field agent, Jane Banner (Elizabeth Olsen), based in Las Vegas, who happens to be attending training nearby. She arrives unprepared for the weather, unfamiliar with Wyoming, let alone the reservation, and perhaps underequipped to conduct a murder investigation. She rises to the occasion, though, enlisting Cory’s help and earning Ben’s grudging respect. As they work together to get at the gruesome, heart-breaking truth of the crime, Jane comes to better understand Cory and the devastating personal connection he has to Natalie’s death. Wind River, snowbound and sadly lyrical, speaks a visual language that echoes the dark progression of its script. It doesn’t try too hard with camera moves or bold edits, rather using the camera to simply advance the story, albeit in a handsome, considered way. And when violence inevitably erupts, Sheridan handles it skillfully and without embellishment, grounding it in the realism and desolation of its setting. The cast is uniformly excellent, with Renner in particular reinforcing his ability to conjure loss with a look. The movie also highlights, through the lens of a murder mystery, an aspect of the ongoing disenfranchisement of Native peoples in the United States, something both important and rare in popular media. R. 107M. BROADWAY, FORTUNA, MILL CREEK, MINOR.

GOOD TIME also has within it themes of loss and lack of agency, and moments of great violence and sadness, but could hardly be more different from Wind River. Directed by Josh and Benny Safdie from a screenplay by Ronald Bronstein and Josh Safdie, it wastes no time getting down to street level in contemporary New York

City, and has the audience spend a tense, antic, seemingly never-ending night there. Side note: The same group previously made Heaven Knows What (2014), a heroin drama that I missed the first time around, unfairly assuming it would be derivative and gratuitous, and Daddy Long Legs (2009) about which I know almost nothing. I’m thinking now that both deserve a look. The opening, after a dread-inducing aerial zoom into a high rise embedded in the grimy synth score, finds Nick Nikas (Benny Safdie), a developmentally delayed adult, struggling with some sort of mandated therapy session. His brother Connie (Robert Pattinson) bursts in, takes Nick by the hand and spirits him out of the building. Shortly thereafter, the brothers rob a bank, a project that not unexpectedly blows up in their faces. Nick ends up in custody after inadvertently running through a window, then hospitalized after unwittingly raising the ire of his fellow inmates. Connie is hard-pressed to pay his bail with dye-soaked bills from an ill-conceived heist, and so spends a frenzied night trying to drum up $10,000. What follows is a strangely beautiful, sometimes funny, sometimes brutal series of increasingly improbable events that lead one to wonder whether Connie is motivated purely by love for his brother, or also by a compulsion to construct intractable situations against which to pit himself. I may have unfairly expected Good Time to adhere to the shaky-camera, “look how shocking” school of indie cinema — such is certainly not the case. The Safdies maintain assiduous control over their camera (they also have a hand in the sound design and editing), creating a continuous and compelling aesthetic, while also leav-

ing room for the cast — A-list veterans and non-actors alike — to thrive onscreen. The movie, as a result, is a troubling and gorgeous surprise, a gritty little gem that deserves to be watched, re-watched and studied. R. 100M. BROADWAY. — John J.

ANNABELLE: CREATION. Writer Gary Dauberman and director David F. Sandberg give the Conjuring universe a taut, well-realized creepy doll origin story that’s scary and fun, even if its moment has passed. R. 109M. BROADWAY, FORTUNA, MILL CREEK.

ATOMIC BLONDE. Stuntman-turned-director David Leitch brings Cold War cool, exceptional fight choreography and a quieter, better paced spy movie than the trailer suggests.

In this skimming adaptation of a Stephen King novel about a battle for the universe, Idris Elba’s glowering intensity and quiet grief almost carry the dull exposition.

by Brie Larson and Woody Harrelson. PG13. 127M. BROADWAY.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $150,286.02 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should under− stand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the prop− erty. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this infor− mation. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, benefi− ciary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

Choosing a Cannabis Dispensary

ith the passage of The Adult Use Marijuana Act (Prop 64) this year in California, many individuals are feeling more comfortable investigating medical cannabis. While no recreational sales are legal until 2018, many community members are choosing to obtain their medical cannabis recommendations to access medical cannabis dispensaries. For many new patients, making the choice of where to visit first can be intimidating! What qualities in a dispensary should I look for? What questions should be asked? Are there any red flags? At Humboldt Patient Resource Center (HPRC) we want every interaction to be helpful, informative, and assist in the transition to the safe use of medical cannabis products. The first question every patient should consider when selecting a new dispensary is “Is this facility permitted?” Under the new law and jurisdiction of the Bureau of Medical Cannabis Regulation all cannabis dispensaries will need to be permitted by their local government. HPRC is permitted under the Commercial Cannabis Activity Permit (CCAP) program ran by the City of Arcata. HPRC holds a permit for a medical cannabis dispensary and a medical cannabis garden. Part of the permitting process ensures building codes are meet, safety standards are set for employees, taxes are being paid, and that the operation has been approved by the local government. If a cannabis facility is unable to produce their permits, or is unfamiliar with the permitting process, you may want to reconsider providing them your

private information. Another important consideration when choosing your medical cannabis dispensary whether or not the dispensary have a safety protocol for all products. Does the dispensary laboratory test all product before it is available to patients? Is there a recall process in place? Does the company offer a patient management system that could execute a recall effectively? When making a decision to a procure medical cannabis it is important to ensure that the product has been screened and qualified as medicine, and is not putting a patient’s health at risk by exposing them to mold, mildew, or pesticides. At HPRC we are proud to hold a Clean Green Certification for our garden, product handling, and patient information management. This certification opens our garden up to a 3rd party to randomly test our plant material to ensure no toxic pesticides or fungicides are being used. After legal and safety considerations, patients can really look to the character of a cannabis dispensary. At HPRC we have been

dedicated to our patients and community for over 18 years. We have operated a terminally ill and low income compassion program for over a decade. HPRC has been carbon neutral and has offset the electrical use of production for the past two years. Our company recently received an A+ Rating with the Better Business Bureau, and was named Business of the Year by the City of Arcata for 2015. Our company’s efforts to be a leader in the medical cannabis community and a outstanding community member of Arcata have not gone unnoticed. With the dynamic changes coming to the medical cannabis industry, HPRC strives to be a reliable pillar for the community of Humboldt County. If you have any questions when making a selection for your medical cannabis dispensary, please don’t hesitate to contact us!
