Pot Tax Privacy Editor: Thanks for your in-depth coverage of Arcata’s Measure I, “The Grow Tax,” on Oct. 4.

One issue that is still a concern to many citizens is confidentiality of individual customer energy usage information. PG&E’s policy is currently and will remain only to release energy usage for an individual residence if PG&E is presented with a search warrant for that residence issued by a judge. If the citizens of Arcata approve Measure I, PG&E’s policy will not change. The city of Arcata would receive no information from PG&E on energy usage of each individual residence. The city of Arcata would simply get one check from PG&E each month for the total amount of the additional energy tax collected in Arcata.

The bottom line is that individual customer energy usage information is now confidential and will remain confidential if the citizens of Arcata approve Measure I. Mayor Michael Winkler, Arcata

Don’t Gag Unions Editor: Thanks to Heidi Walters for the clarity on Propositions 30 and 38 (“Propping up Schools,” Oct. 4). Right now, it is crucial that Prop 30 passes. Our schools need Prop 30. But there is another proposition that seriously troubles me as an educator.

Prop 32 would have a negative effect on our schools by silencing teachers’ unions.

If teachers’ unions couldn’t use payrolldeducted funds for political purposes, how could teachers make their political voices heard? We are busy. Our collective political voice calls for that which benefits

schoolchildren, for example Prop 30. So join me, and your children’s teachers in voting yes on 30 and no on 32!

Firewalking Secrets

Piroshki

He would eat them in a small, white bowl, the dumplings slathered in sour cream.

He would lean into the steam, savoring each bite until a great sigh escaped his lips.

Only afterwards would he speak: maybe a funny story or a joke or some explanation of how a camera worked or what history has to teach us this day. We would eat his words in enormous bites until we, too, had taken our fill.

This, this is what I miss.

— David Holper

Editor: I would like to add something to Barry Evans’ reasonable but incomplete explanation in the “The Physics of Firewalking,” (Sept. 27).

Well-established neuroscience recognizes the different types of neurological signals transmitted within our bodies, including distinguishing between fast and slow pain.

There is also the matter of Gate Theory, which allows for certain signals to reach the brain while others are denied access.

Both of these points are fundamental to the use of hypnosis for pain control or relief, something I’m familiar with as a clinical and medical hypnotist. Compared to anesthesia-free surgery or dental procedures, walking over thoroughly burned coals is slightly less impressive. Yet it is hypnosis, even self-induced, that makes all this possible. There is a talent to it, to be sure, and some can more easily access this altered state than others (attitude may be part of it but hardly captures the essence of what’s involved, nor is it really a matter of “peakness”).

Everyone possesses an ability to access the hypnotic state and indeed goes in and out of various forms of trance regularly when their attention becomes very ab-

sorbed and focused during activities as ordinary as driving and watching TV. It is the intention to do so, and the cooperative practice of doing so with someone trained to competently facilitate desired subconscious learning, that makes hypnosis a valuable complementary care modality for chronic pain relief, smoking cessation, weight loss, stress reduction and more.

Jolly Greens Editor: You pretty much covered the subject, Maureen (“Green Rescue,” Mailbox, Oct. 4). I’ve been voting consistently in federal,

state and local elections since 1968. I suppose that tells you how aged I am, certainly old enough to now realize our elected officials have been and are failing us. Look at the gridlock in Congress!

When I realized what the presidential field was going to be (Obama, Romney) I thought, “I won’t vote for the lesser of two evils, again, and not voting at all is not an option.” I’ve voted for third party candidates before, including the Greens, so I researched the party further, its candidates and platform. The platform consists of 10 key values, some of which are: grassroots democracy, social justice and equal opportunity, ecological wisdom, nonviolence, respect for diversity, personal and global responsibility, and, the party accepts no money from corporations.

One of my longstanding beliefs has been: If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything. I ain’t “falling” anymore; I’m standing for Dr. Jill Stein, Cheri Honkala and the Greens, for the long haul. I want my country and my choice back! For more info via the Internet, refer to humboldtgreens.org, the national organization at gp.org, jillstein.org, or their Facebook pages. I’m not a Green Party official and not writing this on the party’s behalf — in fact I’m just joining. But if you’re not Internet savvy, you can call me at 707-845-9150 (cell, not always on so be patient) or Dana Silvernale, chair of the Humboldt Green Party at 707-267-5342. I will also be wandering around Eureka until the election takes place, most likely the Coop. I am now hopeful again; perhaps you can be, too!

Kathy Berry, Eureka Editor: Thank you so much, Carrie Peyton Dahlberg, for covering Jill Stein’s visit to Humboldt State University (“Imagine All The Voters,” Sept. 27). Given the culture

Cartoon by joel mielke

of extreme censorship we have in the press today, news about a presidential candidate whose platform addresses the needs of the people rather than the corporations is more essential than ever.

The exclusion of qualified third-party candidates from the presidential debates and from the mainstream media brings up a serious question. Just why does corporate America go to such extremes to keep information about competing candidates from the people? In Jill Stein’s case, the answer is readily apparent.

As a Green Party candidate, Jill Stein takes no money from corporations and is, therefore, out of their control and could very well curtail their profits. In fact, the ideas, alone, in Jill’s Green New Deal could inspire the people to demand implementation of those programs no matter who is president. Much like the Declaration of Independence, the Green New Deal is truly revolutionary, filled with dangerous concepts that could inspire and empower the American people.

The Green New Deal would create 25 million living-wage jobs and would do so without tax breaks to corporations. It includes a single-payer health care system rather than mandated profits to the insurance companies. It calls for a halt to destructive industrial practices like offshore drilling in the Arctic, mountaintop removal, the XL pipeline, hydrofracking, and nuclear power.

Jill Stein is blowing the whistle on the propaganda that the mainstream press is feeding us. The truth is we do not have to accept austerity. There are solutions that would, instead, create prosperity and, simultaneously, turn back climate change.

Every vote for Jill Stein, is a demand for those solutions, a demand for a Green New Deal.

Thank you, Carrie, for helping get the word out.

Dana Silvernale, Humboldt Green Party chair

Picture This

T

o remind my sister that we had tickets for Elvis Costello at the Van Duzer Theater, I grabbed a photo of Elvis off the web, stuck a word balloon next to his face and inside typed the words “Don’t forget tomorrow night!” Then I took a picture of that with my phone and messaged it to her.

We live in the age of the visual image.

That means we live in dangerous times.

A video last year of a young man setting himself on fire in Tunisia sparked riots that brought down three Arab dictators. A 14-minute YouTube video last month that mocked the Prophet Muhammad sparked riots in the Arab world that lead to the death of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens in Libya and at least 14 people in Pakistan.

Newspaper articles don’t cause riots.

Articles and essays get us to think, not act.

Books don’t have that effect either. Back in 1988, the Ayatollah Khomeini put out a $1 million reward for anyone who would kill author Salman Rushdie as punishment for his book, The Satanic Verses, which he said insulted the Prophet Muhammad.

Riots broke out in the Muslim world as a result. But the book didn’t spark the riots.

The book had been out for months.

It was the Ayotollah’s announcements, along with news that India banned the book, that sparked the riots. None of the people who rioted read the book.

Recent research shows that what we hear produces visual images in our brains, and we react impulsively and emotionally to these mental pictures.

In an article published in the magazine Psychological Science in June, Harvard psychologists Elinor Amrit and Joshua Green found that visual images heighten our emotional responses. And they found that when a visual image —or an image we visualize in response to something we hear —forces us to make a choice, we will veer toward what is most important to us as individuals rather than the greater good. In other words, if we see something that forces us to choose between a strong personal belief, like religion, and a more philosophical or reason-based belief that benefits the larger community— such as public safety or due process or free speech — people will sacrifice the philo-

sophical concepts and the common good to protect their individual integrity.

Pictures stir our passions. And passions spur actions that reason won’t stop. Oliver Wendell Holmes, one of the fathers of American legal theory, once said: “I cannot argue a man into a desire. But although desire cannot be imparted by argument, it can be by contagion. Feeling begets feeling, and great feeling begets great feeling. … As life is action and passion, it is required of a man that he should share the passion and action of his time.”

So something we hear or see can get us to act as a mindless mob. Nazi mastermind Joseph Goebbels understood this.

The Nazi party emerged just as radio and movies and photographic images became dominant media forms. He realized that if you could control these images — make it is so that people saw only those images you wanted them to see — you could stoke their passions and fears and incite them to act. In my history classes I ask my students this: How do you take a country of rational people and get them to commit mass murder on innocent civilians?

That’s what happened in Germany during World War II. If you think that kind of crazy stuff can’t happen here, remember, we’ve had riots. Images of four police officers acquitted of beating up Rodney King sparked massive riots in Los Angeles in 1992. Images heighten our emotions. Passion spreads like a contagion.

So how do you tamp down passions in the age of mass imagery? Should we try to censor the images people see and the things people hear over the digital airwaves? Should we figure out how to make sure some idiot can’t post an inflammatory video of the Prophet Muhammad?

Should we arrest someone for painting a swastika on his garage door? Should we fine companies or organizations that distribute these images?

President Obama says no.

In a speech Sept. 25 to the United Nations General Assembly he said of the Muhammad video: “I know there are some who ask why we don’t just ban such a video. … Americans have fought and died around the globe to protect the right of all people to express their views

6 North Coast Journal • Thursday, oct. 11, 2012 • northcoastjournal.com

— even views that we disagree with. We do so not because we support hateful speech, but because our Founders understood that without such protections, the capacity of each individual to express their own views, and practice their own faith, may be threatened. We do so because in a diverse society, efforts to restrict speech can become a tool to silence critics or oppress minorities. We do so because … the strongest weapon against hateful speech is not repression, it is more speech. … I know that not all countries in this body share this understanding of the protection of free speech. Yet in 2012, at a time when anyone with a cell phone can spread offensive views around the world with the click of a button, the notion that we can control the flow of information is obsolete. The question, then, is how we respond. And on this we must agree: There is no speech that justifies mindless violence.”

But if we can’t control the flow of information from computer to computer and phone to phone, how can we prevent the violence that images incite?

Part of me thinks we are doomed.

Still, I go back to what Obama said about combating bad imagery with competing images. Remember the Nazis needed to control media to get people to do what they wanted them to do. In places with free expression, that expression gets too messy to control. Obama says we can’t control it in the age of the Internet. But I say we don’t want to. If you can control messages you can manipulate passions. Uploading an inflammatory video onto the Internet is a hateful and stupid thing to do. But there seem to be endless numbers of hateful and stupid people in the world. Perhaps the more times these idiots do something like that, the more likely their actions will lose their inflammatory power. At that point, the pictures and videos will just seem idiotic.

Watching Ward 2 More round signs rise in Eureka as Republican, write-in try to oust Atkins

EL

By Deidre Pike

f course, it’s not all about earth-shattering decisions like approving a Marina Center mall or cracking down on an Occupy encampment.

Most Eureka City Council decisions are ho-hummers. Picking a contractor to redo a water-sewer building’s interior. Awarding a cable franchise. Buying city-planning software. Hardly divisive.

The office is non-partisan, but there’s a marked philosophical divide on the

council. Four of five council members lean right, especially on growth and development. Though incumbent Linda Atkins is seen as a holdover from the council’s more progressive days, she votes in tandem with the rest of the council on most issues. No reason not to, she says.

Challenging Atkins, a Democrat, for the Ward 2 City Council seat are Floyd “Joe” Bonino, solidly Republican, and write-in candidate Charlie Bean, who projects an independent vibe.

and reach people without spending a million dollars,” she says.

In four years, Atkins has proposed revising arcane city codes into user-friendly rules for small businesses. She devised a plan to get federal matching funds to build the Fishermen’s Terminal Building.

These days, she favors the purchase of a $5 million crane needed for Eureka to realize its potential as a port for short-sea shipping.

“We have a port dredged and ready to go,” she says. “Shortsea shipping barges are the Greyhound buses of the sea.”

It’s rough fulfilling the lone liberal role — but it’s better than having all five council members “rubberstamping” the same perspective, Atkins says.

“How can you make good decisions if you’re only hearing one point of view?” she asks.

Though Bonino complains about Atkins’ well-remembered opposition to waterfront development west of Old Town, the issue seems moot. Given her minority opinion on the council, Atkins couldn’t have stopped the Marina Center project if she’d tried.

As it turns out, she says she’d support a Photos by Bob Doran good plan.

“Everyone in town wants something to happen down there,” she says. “We have so many empty store fronts, more by the day.”

Marina Center status update?

“It’s still a weedy mud hole,” she says.

Ward 2 challenger Bonino agrees that Atkins can’t be blamed for Marina Center expires 10/31/12 developmentOffer delays these days, though he holds her responsible for past resistance.

The project’s lackluster status is a sign of troubled economic times.

“Recession knocked the financial immediacy out of the project,” he says.

What might he do differently than Atkins?

“Anything I can do to help is better than not being enthusiastic,” he says.

the Marina Center, he says. As proposed, it’s much more than a Home Depot near the historic waterfront. He compares the planned mall to The Grove, a 575,000-square-foot open-air mall southwest of Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles. (Frommer’s lauds The Grove as a “Vegas-style retail complex.”)

The Marina Center, as planned, would total 313,500 square feet on 43 acres.

There’d be 54 apartments, 14,000 square feet for restaurants, 70,000 for “light industrial use,” 12,500 for a museum, and a fourlevel parking structure.

And space for, say, an anchor store. Like Home Depot.

The residentialcommercial mix is key to the project’s success.

“It turns the marina into a cool place to be during the day to work and a fun, hip place at night,” Bonino says. “It magnetizes the city.

Young people will come to hang out … and to live in housing that isn’t 105 years old.”

Bonino has spent decades walking precincts for conservative candidates and for ballot initiatives including Prop 8, which called for defining marriage as a heterosexual union.

Now it’s his turn to run for office.

Via phone during an afternoon coffee break, Bonino calls himself a “very nice guy.” He bikes and hikes. He takes the bus frequently from Eureka to Arcata, where he’s HSU’s Joe B. Payroll.

Atkins annoyed him when she spoke to constituents who were occupying the Humboldt County Courthouse lawn last year. Atkins warned activists that police were planning to evict them. “That was a mistake,” Bonino says.

He says voters need choices.

“If you don’t have an election with two candidates, you have Russia,” Bonino says.

The progressive-conservative divide in this council race was clearly visible in a recent debate.

When asked during a League of Women Voters debate last week about supporting Prop 30’s tax increase for those

making more than $250,000 annually, Bonino said no way.

Atkins said those making a quarter million a year or more could afford to pitch in a bit more for schools and road repairs.

Bean paused for a beat or two. “No, I wouldn’t raise taxes,” he said, finally, referencing what he perceives as mushy government spending.

Bean may be a fiscal conservative but he’s solidly pro-choice, thinks it’s fine if gay couples marry and believes that it’s OK for the government to help people who need help.

Bean lives in a small wheelchairaccessible apartment near Cooper Gulch.

Perched atop a high bookshelf is a photo of Bean’s 7-year-old daughter. On another shelf — her pet hamster “Hammie.”

Bean grew up in Humboldt. When he returned here a few years ago, after six years teaching in China, he applied for two jobs a week. The Hoopa High graduate ended up frustrated and unemployed.

Bean turned to volunteer government work. He’s served on and chaired several committees from the Humboldt County In-Home Supportive Services Advisory Committee to the Humboldt County Grand Jury (2010-2011).

“I enjoy helping people, doing things to improve the community,” he says.

And now people are helping him with many small campaign donations. He pages through photocopied checks.

“You know, when you grow up in a small town, you never really know if people like you much,” he says. “Then they support you like this. I must have done something right.”

Bean, one-time owner of Rick’s Red Carpet Lounge (the building’s now North Coast Roleplaying on Broadway), decided to run for office because local business owners often complain to him about lack of access to city decision-makers.

“They say, ‘Nobody ever asks us what we need,’” he says.

All three candidates agree on improving the safety of Eureka’s streets, stepping up crime prevention and creating jobs by bringing in businesses that pay well.

To this, Bean adds it’s important to keep a “good spirit” in these troubled economic times. He’s got that one covered.

“I was a cheerleader in high school,” he says. “The Hoopa High mascot — a warrior.” l Full disclosure: Deidre Pike, a registered Democrat, teaches journalism at HSU, meaning her paycheck is in the capable hands of Joe Bonino. She told Charlie Bean that his membership in the fraternal order E Clampus Vitus was “crazy cool.”

lous lawsuits. The hyperbole coming from both campaigns can be hard to digest.

It should be no surprise that here in Humboldt County — where many shop at food cooperatives and stock Michael Pollan books in their personal libraries — the proposition’s backers have resoundingly outnumbered opponents. (The Arcata and Eureka city councils and the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors have endorsed it. More than 150 Humboldt businesses are among the listed backers, including doctors, dentists, construction companies, thrift shops, spas, farms and restaurants.) Recent polling from Pepperdine University shows 65 percent of Californians support the proposition, 24 percent are against it, and 11 percent are still unsure. But what opponents lack in numbers, they make up with deep pockets.

The “No on 37” campaign has raised more than $34 million, thanks to contributions from big agribusiness, food and chemical companies. The biggest donors to date are Monsanto ($7.1 million), DuPont ($4.9 million), and PepsiCo ($1.7 million), according to campaign finance forms filed with the state. Monsanto’s donation alone surpasses the $4.1 million total the “Yes on 37” campaign has raised. Of the 11 measures on the upcoming ballot, Prop.

37 has the third-highest donation total and represents one of the largest gaps between the two sides.

As co-leader of SoHum Label GMOs, a local group working with the “Yes on 37” campaign, Isis Austin has been collecting signatures, showing movies and giving presentations to government boards since January. She says the label requirement will provide truth in advertising by preventing heavily processed and genetically engineered foods from marketing their products as “natural” in supermarkets.

She’s also concerned about the potential health effects. “We have the right to know if the food we’re eating contains genetically modified materials so we can make the choice to opt in the science experiment or not.” continued on next page

The “Yes on 37” campaign has been busy parading photos of golf-ball-sized tumors bulging from the bodies of white haired rodents. The horrifying photos come from a recent peer-reviewed study out of France that supposedly found GM corn causes tumors in rats. But many scientists are rebuking the findings, pointing out serious flaws in the study’s design.

Among other scientific infractions, the study set up several comparison groups that were so small results could have been due to chance, and the type of rats it used has a naturally high rate of developing tumors.

Still, it’s difficult to study the long-term health effects of genetically modified foods on humans because they have only been on the commercial market for a little more than a decade. Many consumers remain cautious, especially on the North Coast. In 2004, Mendocino County became the first jurisdiction in the country to ban the production and distribution of GMOs. Breaking with Prop. 37’s many boosters here in Humboldt, there is a small group that doesn’t want it to pass. Really small.

County Supervisor Rex Bohn was the lone

politician to oppose it. He said after talking with constituents and identifying local chapters of statewide associations that opposed the measure — including the California Cattleherders Association and the Farm Bureau — he decided to vote against it. (Hugo Klopper, owner of Bear River Valley Beef in Ferndale and president of the Humboldt Cattlemen’s Association, said he’s for the labeling, even though the statewide association is officially against it.)

John Vevoda, president of Humboldt’s Farm Bureau, said the local farm bureau is neutral on Prop. 37. His organic dairy in Ferndale won’t really be all that affected should it pass. But he’s worried it could increase food costs, including feed for his dairy cows. He thinks the measure could put California farmers at a competitive disadvantage. “This requires California only labels. So common grocery products coming in would have to be repackaged just for our state.”

Some agricultural economists agree with Vevoda, and say if the labeling regulations pass, rising costs will ultimately be passed on to consumers. But by how much exactly is hard to tell. In Europe,

there were no changes in food costs due to labeling genetically engineered foods, according to a speech that David Byrne, then a European health and consumer protection official, gave to the European Parliament four years after labeling was required.

The “No on 37” campaign has been flaunting a recent study by two University of California Davis professors that shows Prop. 37 would result in $1.2 billion in higher costs for farmers and food processors, and stick consumers with higher prices at the grocery store. What the study doesn’t tell you is that the professors were paid at least $30,000 by agribusiness corporations for the research, according to campaign finance records.

Other studies contend that labeling is a fractional cost for food manufacturers, who continually update labels and generally do not pass those costs on to consumers. Joanna Shepherd Bailey, a professor at Emory University School of Law who studied the pricing claims, found that “the average one-time expense to redesign labels represents 0.03 percent of the average annual per-product sales.”

Prop. 37 gives companies 18 months to

change their labels to include information about genetic engineering, and Bailey found that most companies change their labels within this time frame anyway.

The California Grocers Association, which represents 80 percent of the state’s grocery stores, is staunchly against Prop.

37, arguing that if any grocery item is improperly labeled, their member stores could be sued. “People may not know where the cereal comes from, but know they got it at the grocery store. The first place lawyers will go is to the retailer,” said Dave Heylen, a spokesman for the association. He said grocery stores would have to have an ingredient listing for every product on their selves.

Berkeley law professor Stephen Sugarman said it would be easy for food processors to add the proper label to their product, assuming they would still continue to use genetically modified organisms, that would protect retailers from lawsuits. “Assuming reasonably prompt and reasonably full compliance, I don’t foresee a flood of lawsuits.” ●

Blog Jammin’ GOVERNMENT / BY CARRIE PEYTON DAHLBERG / OCT. 4, 5:08 P.M.

That Property Tax Bill?

Er … Never Mind For the last couple of years, every time auditor-controller Joe Mellett told Humboldt County supes he really needed some more accountants, it was “basically just me whining to the board,” Mellett recalled over the phone on Thursday afternoon.

So Mellett sucked it up like lots of people on understaffed job sites. Sometimes work went unchecked. Including his work. Including the calculations that went into creating every single property tax bill in Humboldt County.

The bills that went out recently aren’t very wrong, Mellett said, but plenty of them are off by a few dollars.

“It’s human error on my part,” he said, and “the most significantly embarrassing one” since he took office.

If it’s any consolation, Mellett also caught the blooper himself, when his own tax bill showed up in the mail. He looked, looked again, and then realized the school bond rates imposed on his lot were about $5 higher than the rates he’d remembered running for that bond.

“With growing horror I go back and research it and realize the wrong bond rates were applied” — not just for one but for 25 different school bonds, which can wobble up or down by a few dollars each year. The slip-up happened when he failed to properly enter the updated rates into another, computerized step of creating a tax bill.

So, um, if you haven’t paid yet, Humboldt County would like you to kindly disregard your property tax bills — the original ones are teal — and wait for the corrected ones, which it plans to send out soon on yellow paper.

And next year, Mellett said, he’ll use one of his thin-stretched junior staffers to generate some of the basic work, and he’ll review it, so at least there are two pairs of eyes on the numbers instead of just one.

“Most accountants will tell you, you really can’t review your own work. Once you’ve spent 40 hours with your own work, you’re pretty much blind to it,” he said.

steady stream of groceries moves past the checkstands at the North Coast Co-op’s Arcata market one recent sunny afternoon, into a wide variety of containers: a colorful woven reed basket, an empty carton from the store’s binful of used cartons, a clever bamboo-slatted box, some old cloth bags, a heavy duty “museum style” plastic bag.

A few paper bags are mixed into the flow, but only a few, and there’s no plastic — the Co-op has never offered it.

At the checkstand, Deborah Watson of Arcata unfurls a pair of reusable bags that she brings with her rather than buy — yes, buy — bags from the Co-op. As Watson packs her groceries into one cotton bag and one heavy duty plastic bag, she says, “I’d started to switch to reusables, but I wasn’t consistent until the Co-op switched. … Sometimes I’d forget to get the bags out of the car.” In 2010, the Coop decided to help the environment by encouraging reusable bags and reducing its use of paper bags. It has exceeded its goal of reducing bag use by 80 percent, and nobody seems upset.

With its changing approach to bags, the Co-op is among stores in Humboldt and

The fine art and terrifying task of carrying groceries from market to home

beyond that have taken a fresh look at how people carry home their groceries. At least two other grocers here have eliminated plastic entirely. As the multi-jurisdiction Humboldt Waste Management Authority goes about developing a model bag ordinance for cities and the county, the environmental question becomes more about throwaway versus reuse than about paper versus plastic.

Those who want an end to free distribution of single-use bags worry about the resources squandered by throwaway products, the greenhouse gases created in their manufacture, the litter they produce, and the heavy toll on marine life exacted by plastics and the toxins they can release. One-use plastic bags, made of polyethylene, are recycled at very low rates (in the 5-10 percent range) and they’re known to clog recycling equipment and fly off garbage trucks. “They are as aerodynamic as the top sail of a clipper ship,” says Brent Whitener, programs director for the waste management authority.

And, once on a roadside, they are apt to enter and clog sewers or otherwise reach bodies of water.

Whitener calls them “the red-headed stepchild of recycling — the hardest to recycle and with the lowest rate of

Do it Legally

recycling.” They don’t usually get turned back into plastic bags, either; their likelier fate is to end up in things like Trex plastic decking. And, Whitener says, Californians have been going through 19 billion of them each year.

Whitener is the man developing a model ordinance that would reduce bag usage in Humboldt while, he hopes, avoiding drawing the county or local cities into lawsuits from the plastic bags industry. But try to mess with people’s rights to throwaway plastic bags and, sooner or later, you’re going to come up against Stephen L. Joseph, the attorney for the Save the Plastic Bag Coalition.

of residence in the United States. “They use a waste product called ethane,” he says, and the carbon which would be released by burning ethane is nicely locked up by its transformation into non-biodegradable plastic bags, which can live out their long lives in landfills. (“Waste product?”

Ethane is described in a recent Financial Times article as a “crucial shale gas byproduct,” though it may be crucial only in the production of polyethylene, the product from which single-use plastic bags are blown.)

Joseph is deft at latching onto the mass of misinformation about plastic versus paper that the media has not exactly stamped out. And he may be the most significant reason that Humboldt needs to proceed at a measured pace. On behalf of his coalition, he has sued nine California jurisdictions that have put bans in place. It’s no wonder Humboldt wishes to move carefully.

In response to lawsuits, many newer ordinances that limit plastic also charge a fee for single-use paper. This second generation of ordinances is surviving challenges that had forced modification of some earlier “plastic ban only” ordinances, including one passed in Oakland in 2007.

Look at the environmental impact reports for bag laws, and you will find the many, many questions that Joseph raises.

In the introduction to Santa Monica’s Environmental Impact Report on banning single-use bags, the authors mention that

Whitener calls plastic bags “the red-headed stepchild of recycling — the hardest to recycle and with the lowest rate of recycling.”

Defending an Endangered Species On the phone, Joseph speaks with such passion for the plastic bag that it’s hard to figure out if he’s sincere or just really good at his work — it could be both.

Either way, Joseph is a blast to talk to or, to be precise, to listen to. Asked “why someone would be for plastic bags,” his response is an astonished “why would anyone NOT be for plastic bags?

They are the best bag for the environment because they use such a small amount of resources.”

He’s on a roll now, speaking quickly in the accent of his native England, despite 34 years Co-op checker Peggy Whitney packs cereal boxes into recycled grocery boxes.

the city received two letters in response to its 30 day “Notice of Preparation.” One was from Mark Gold, President of Heal the Bay, and was generally supportive.

The other was from Stephen L. Joseph on behalf of the Save the Plastic Bag Coalition, and listed, according to the final EIR, 27 subjects that he felt needed to be addressed, among them “cockroach infestation” and “hygiene of reusable bags.”

In a Time Magazine profile in 2008, the magazine headlined Joseph, “The Patron Saint of Plastic Bags.”

Joseph says he’s funded by a coalition of plastic “and reusable” bag manufacturers, but he declines to give details. Asked what he is paid, he instantly asks what the reporter is paid, and complains that getting industry funding, “of course, means in the eyes of the ideological left that every word that we utter is a complete lie.” About to ask him his budget, I begin, “I don’t know if you’re at liberty to say.”

He cuts me off: “No, I’m not. If you’re going to talk about the money we get then talk about the money they get.”

When the Los Angeles area city of Manhattan Beach (population 33,000) issued a negative declaration on the environmental impact of its plastic bag ban, trying to save itself the cost of developing a full environmental impact report, Joseph sued on behalf of the coalition, and he and the city fought the issue all the way up to the California Supreme Court.

Overruling a Court of Appeals decision, the state Supreme Court held that the city could use “common sense” in deciding that potentially using more paper bags would not have a significant impact on its environment. The full Environmental Impact review might well be required

paper that we waste. … I think that’s a very bad idea. If we start having city councils say we’re going to ban everything that’s wasteful, that’s a heck of a slippery slope.”

Joseph is an artist at highlighting the errors that seem to have become settled in many people’s minds, and is expert at diverting conversation from the real problems to the maybe-not-so-real evidence photos. The larger truths about plastic’s impact may become entangled in a web of evidence littered with a few unsupportable assertions.

For starters, the oft-cited great Pacific garbage patch, whose label outrages Joseph, is not nearly as photogenic as you may think — there are definitely regions of the ocean where plastic accumulates, but not at concentrations that look like garbage dumps at sea. “There is not an ‘island’ nor a ‘patch’ of debris in any location that can be photographed or viewed from above,” says Marieta Francis, executive director of the Algalita Marine Research Institute, which studies plastic at sea.

“That’s why it’s so hard to describe and

of a much larger jurisdiction, the court indicated, but it concluded that for a city the size of Manhattan Beach, a negative declaration was sufficient. The Manhattan Beach initial study was filed in June of 2008; the state Supreme Court ruled for the city in July of 2011. Three years of delay. Lots of attorney’s fees.

Joseph gives his clients their money’s worth. To the suggestion that single-use bags might be wasteful, he instantly replies, “if we ban everything that’s wasteful, we’d only have about 50 percent of our economy left.” In fact, plastic bags represent only about 0.3 percent of the waste stream, according to many studies, with plastic grocery bags representing only 0.13 percent. “Why,” Joseph wonders, “single them out?”

Well, why not? You’ve got to start somewhere.

But Joseph disagrees: ”If we’re going to have a goal as a society of getting rid of everything that’s disposable, let’s do it seriously. Let’s not go for symbolism. Let’s get rid of paper towels, all the

Humboldt — Moving Slowly So Far

Despite the potential pitfalls, the HWMA has moved forward with a model second-generation ordinance for local jurisdictions, and is developing Humboldt County governments documents that could be used by local governments that might want to ban single-use to support new bag laws. The draft ordinance, and bags would love to act without the documentation supporting it, should be going to facing court challenges.

to exclude restaurants — litigation. There would be a two-year transition period before penalties would be assessed against violators.

Along with the ordinance, Whitener has done up 25 pages of documentation to support the argument that this bag law does not violate the California Environmental Quality Act. If they decide to act against plastic bags, member jurisdictions will need to decide whether they will seek “negative declarations,” saying a ban wouldn’t hurt the environment, or put in the extra effort and money to develop their own full environmental impact reports. Whitener believes that for many member jurisdictions his documentation will support such negative declarations. The full county, on the other hand, may need to proceed to a full environmental impact report, a costly and time-consuming step.

You Don’t Need to Wait Until any local laws are passed, every grocery store in Humboldt is on its own.

Some, like Winco, have oodles of plastic and paper at each register. Others, including the Co-op, Eureka Natural Foods and Wildberries, don’t offer plastic and may either charge for paper bags or offer customers a discount for bringing their own bags or containers.

In Humboldt, the move to reusable bags seems to be gaining speed. The Ray’s market in McKinleyville eliminated plastic

bags in March, according to store manager Robert Parker. The store has begun giving discounts for people bringing in bags to re-use, and the number of shoppers taking Rays up on that has increased dramatically, Parker said: up from perhaps 40 to 100 a day, out of 1,000 to 1,200 daily customers.

Wildberries in Arcata stopped offering plastic bags at the register around the beginning of this year, and it’s seeing more and more usage of cloth and reusable plastic bags, said owner Phil Ricord.

According to Carlos Avelar, a Murphy’s manager, all Murphy’s have now eliminated use of plastic bags at checkouts, and all stores offer a discount to customers bringing in reusable bags.

Safeway managers deferred questions to a “we really care” 800 customer service number, which apparently didn’t really care enough to return the call. Winco’s media director did not return calls either.

The membership-owned North Coast Co-op has never used plastic bags, and one of its goals is “serving the environment.” In a planning session in 2009, General Manager David Lippman proposed reducing the stores’ usage of single-use paper bags to help reach that goal. A membership survey in the group’s newsletter showed overwhelming support, and the Co-op decided to contribute bag fees to its Cooperative Community Fund, which donate to local nonprofits.

After extensive publicity in 2010, the two Co-op stores in Arcata and Eureka spent January 2011 giving customers 6,000 reusable bags. And then they started charging for single-use paper bags. Paper bag usage dropped 69 percent almost immediately, and has stayed down, according to Co-op Outreach Director Melanie Bettenhausen. The Co-op’s goal was an 80 percent reduction, and bag usage has actually fallen 84 percent, down from 30,500 paper bags each month to just 4,900 per month now. At the same time, the store has contributed nearly

$3,000 in bag fees to the community fund over the past six months.

Since many of the shoppers at the Coop’s Eureka store are just passing through the area and are not members, cashiers there have the option of skipping the charge — “just this once” — if someone makes it an issue. Bettenhausen says, “Nobody wants to feel that anyone is taking advantage.”

Other co-ops have modeled their changes after the North Coast Co-op’s slow and gentle strategy. Lippman adds that “it seems pretty clear that plastic bags are not a necessity for retail stores, as we have done OK without them for 39 years.”

The Co-op and others have shown that, with a little prompting, Humboldters are ready to reuse their bags. We can buy reusables, but it can be as simple as reusing the paper or plastic bags we already have.

Remembwering to re-use every new bag we get at least once gives us a 50 percent reduction in impact, right away, without the need for petitions, action by supermarkets, or action by government. Once we’ve cut that 0.3 percent of the waste stream in half or more, we can tackle more challenging goals. l Mitch Trachtenberg lives in Trinidad, where he teaches old computers new tricks and wishes he and his car were less of an environmental disaster.

Drinkable Herbs

By Amy Stewart

amystewart@northcoastjournal.com

W

e’re continuing to work our way through a year’s worth of grow-your-own cocktail ingredients, moving on this month from flowers to herbs. Let’s start with some of the sweeter, more floral herbs you might mix into a drink, and next month I’ll move on to the savory herbs. Autumn is a great time to plant any of these. Just water them until it starts raining, then stand back and let them take care of themselves through the winter.

Anise hyssop (Agastache foeniculum) Also called “licorice mint,” this tough little perennial is, in fact, a member of the mint family, and the leaves do taste and smell of licorice or anise. It’s completely hardy on the West Coast and will survive winter temperatures as low as minus 25 Fahrenheit. In summer, the plants thrive on sun and very little water, pushing up flowering stalks that reach a couple of feet in height. Because it’s such a widely adaptable plant, you’ll find that anise hyssop does just fine in partial shade as well.

These plants have been subject to a great deal of hybridizing, but I haven’t noticed any compromises in the flavor of the leaves. So you might as well indulge your vanity and shop for good looks. “Golden Jubilee” is popular for its chartreuse leaves and brilliant blue flowers, and A. aurantiaca, “Fragrant Delight,” produces a mix

of orange, purple and lavender blossoms.

“Blue Fortune” is considered the workhorse of the bunch with light blue flowers and a really vigorous habit. They all attract bees, butterflies or hummingbirds, and they require zero care except for shearing back the dead blossoms at the end of the season.

So what do you do with them? In Scott Beattie’s book Artisanal Cocktails, he slices the leaves into long, thin strips and shakes them over ice with vodka and a berry-infused simple syrup, then serves the drink with seltzer water and garnishes with more of the leaves and blossoms. I’ve also seen it muddled into a gin and tonic, and anise hyssop-infused simple syrup is generally a good upgrade to ordinary simple syrup in any fruity or floral drink.

The flowers are edible, so feel free to garnish with them as well.

Angelica (Angelica archangelica) is a big ol’ gorgeous creature in the carrot family that has been used to flavor liqueurs since the Middle Ages. If you’re going to grow it, be sure to get this particular species. There are other ornamental angelicas sold in garden centers, but they can be mildly toxic. It’s actually fairly easy to grow from seed, and I’ve had good luck planting them in fall after the rains start. Just be sure you sow them where you actually want them to grow: Like other members of the carrot family,

20 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • THURSDAY, OCT. 11, 2012 • northcoastjournal.com

angelica has a long taproot and doesn’t like to be transplanted. Angelica is happy in the shade and it likes damp soil, but I’ve ignored it all summer and it survived fine without extra water. The plant is a biennial, producing only leaves the first year and blooming and going to seed the second year. If you’re really into angelica, plant it two years in a row and always let some go to seed so you’ll have a fresh crop every year.

The roots and seeds are used to flavor liqueur and vermouth. Although distillers love to keep their recipes a secret, take a swig of Strega, Chartreuse, Galliano and other such Italian and French herbal liqueurs and see if you don’t taste the indescribably fresh, bright, green flavor of angelica. The best way to use it in a cocktail is to chop off a thick stem and mix it into a simple syrup or infuse it in vodka for no more than 24 hours, along with other fresh herbs and citrus. (Give fresh, green herbs too much time in vodka and you’ll start to get really nasty off flavors.

Experiment with longer infusion times at your own peril.)

Scented geranium (Pelargonium spp.)

Not a true geranium, these fragrant pelargoniums are the result of endless hybridizing, which is why it’s impossible to list a particular species. You can get scented geraniums that smell (and taste) of roses, coconut, apple, nutmeg, strawberry, lime and ginger. They do great in containers, they can tolerate dry soils, and they prefer full sun but will put up with a little shade.

If you’re growing the plants for flavor, do give them as much sun as possible to encourage the development of essential oil.

The flowers are edible so they’re safe to use for garnish, and the leaves release a tremendous amount of flavor into simple syrup. They’re also fantastic muddled into gin or vodka to dress up a basic Martini. In fact, a British distiller is making Geranium Gin, which does taste of rose geraniums, but it’s not yet available in the United

States so you’ll just have to use your imagination.

Pineapple sage (Salvia elegans) I was talking to a friend on the East Coast about this plant, and he was complaining that it was available for such a short time there.

Well, here on the West Coast, it’s almost a weed. If you don’t get much of a frost, you’ll be able to harvest it all year. This salvia (also in the mint family) produces stalks of red, tubular flowers that hummingbirds love, and the leaves are, in fact, pineapple-flavored. There’s a variety called “Golden Delicious” with chartreuse leaves and red flowers, but it’s not really a strong bloomer, and it only reaches a couple feet in height, while the regular pineapple sage can get to six feet in good weather. In any case, give it some sun, don’t worry too much about water, and protect it against winter temperatures below 10 Fahrenheit.

(Of course, if you grow it in a container, you will have to water it. “Golden Delicious” is fabulous as a container plant.) If the plants look scraggly at the end of winter, cut down some or all of the branches to the ground and it will regrow as soon as the weather warms up.

What to do with it? Anything you do with anise hyssop will work with pineapple sage as well. This recipe was served by the nice people at Combier in New Orleans this summer when I gave a talk about The Drunken Botanist (the book, that is — it’ll be out next March). We called the drink “The Drunken Botanist” that day, but it normally goes by the name “Pineapple Express.” There is one new and unusual ingredient here: Combier Kummel, a modern version of a traditional caraway, cumin and fennel-flavored herbal liqueur.

If you don’t have kummel and can’t get it, I’ll let you in on a little secret: tequila and pineapple are amazing together. Get some pineapple juice and a good orange liqueur (like Original Combier or another triple sec) and start experimenting. ●

Pineapple Express (By Tommy Klus, Portland, Ore.)

Ingredients and Method: 10 leaves pineapple sage .5 oz agave nectar 1.5 oz tequila reposado .75 oz Combier Kummel 1 oz fresh lemon juice

In a shaker, lightly muddle pineapple sage leaves in agave nectar, then add remaining ingredients and ice. Shake and strain into a coupe or Martini glass. Garnish with a small pineapple sage sprig. (Smack sprig in hand to release the plant’s aromatic oils.)

Women Ruhl

The Vibrator Play at Ferndale, Humboldt women in Arcata

By William S. Kowinski williamkowinski@northcoastjournal.com

E

dison’s electricity was just beginning to transform middle class American life in the early 20th century. This is the setting for In the Next Room (or The Vibrator Play) by Sarah Ruhl, now on stage at Ferndale Repertory Theatre. The fictional Dr. Givings (played convincingly by Calder Johnson) has designed what today would be known simply as a vibrator, in order to treat hysterical symptoms in women.

The joke in this play is that (with one or two possible exceptions) none of the characters — male or female — has today’s understanding of the vibrator’s effects in stimulating sexually pleasurable orgasm. What Dr. Giving’s patients experienced was described as tension released in “hysterical paroxysm.”

That one idea could easily organize a kind of farce and there are predictably comic moments. But Ruhl does more, by exploring the mores and relationships that follow from this disconnect. Patient Sabrina Daldry (Megan Rae Johnson) gets her first vibrator treatment while Dr. Givings relates an interesting anecdote involving Benjamin Franklin. Meanwhile, in the parlor, the lively Mrs. Catherine Givings (Kelsey

MacIlvaine) wonders what’s really going on, in her life as well as in the next room.

There are plot threads involving a wet nurse (played by Ashley Russell) for Mrs. Givings baby, Dr. Giving’s nurse assistant (Greta Joan Stockwell), Sabrina Daldry’s husband (Jeremy Webb) and a male patient and artist (Bobby Bennett) who sets up contrasts of art and science.

This play (first produced in 2010) could be described as layered — or cluttered.

It sometimes totters from the inspired to the insipid, but Ruhl takes the history seriously, with inevitable contemporary resonance. There is enough originality, humor, humanity and poetry in this play and this production, directed by Rae Robison, to engage audiences and foster conversation.

It’s an adult theme, but it’s treated within conventional theatrical standards.

The first night show I saw went smoothly, and except for some vocal projection problems, the acting was at least adequate and sometimes eloquent. All the actors had good moments, with MacIlvaine and her character’s nervous energy moving the action forward. There were particularly effective and moving scenes between

Catherine (MacIlvaine) and Sabrina (Megan Johnson, who continues to add subtle new colors to her acting) and between Sabrina and nurse Annie (Greta Stockwell).

But the flow of it all often felt rudimentary, with performances not always accessibly related to each other and to the play as a whole. Perhaps it hadn’t quite jelled yet, or it’s the nature of the script. The play does seem to involve some difficult and dynamic balancing acts in mood and style, which this production manages pretty successfully.

Liz Uhazy is scenic and lighting designer, Calder Johnson designed costumes, JM Wilkerson the sound. In the Next Room continues weekends at Ferndale Rep through Oct. 21.

Speaking of women

in the early 20th century, there’s a new play opening at the Arcata Playhouse that focuses on their lives in and around Humboldt County.

Women of the Northwest features a dozen actors portraying at least that many women who figured in local history from 1900 to the 1930s and beyond. Actor/ writer Jacqueline Dandeneau, researcher Tammy Rae Scott and historian Edith Butler got the project started this summer, but the cast combined to shape the final show. The Native Women’s Collective is also involved. “We tell some of the stories through song and movement,” Dandeneau said, “so it’s not all talking heads, which is the danger with a history piece.”

Women involved in logging, mining, ranching and politics, as well as teachers, artists, athletes, mothers, prostitutes and even a stage coach robber are all represented. “These pieces are about women who figured out — by necessity or from

some spirit within them — how to live life on their own terms, given what terms might be available,” Edith Butler said.

For background on the women’s suffrage movement in Humboldt, they brought filmmaker Martha Wheelock up from L.A. Coincidentally, her film on the subject airs on KEET on Monday, Oct. 15, at 7:30 p.m.

“She told us that it was the men in rural areas like Humboldt that made the difference in voting for women’s suffrage,” Dandeneau said.

It was in 1912, exactly 100 years ago, that women voted in their first California election (they didn’t get to vote for federal candidates until 1920). “So we’re hoping to have the League of Women Voters registering voters in the lobby for our shows,” she said. “There are a lot of women’s issues right at the top of this year’s election — things that have been assumed, and things that have been fought for,” by Humboldt women, among others.

Women of the Northwest opens Thursday, Oct. 11, at the Arcata Playhouse and runs Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. It continiues the following weekend before going on the road including shows in Petrolia Oct. 27, and in Briceland Oct. 28.

MOSAIC FLOWERS BY BARBARA WRIGHT

Many Mediums

Arcata Artisans: Tobias, Wright and White

TORCHED VESSEL

CERAMIC BY LORYN WHITE

DAY OF THE DEAD

PAINTING BY LINNEA TOBIAS

By Jason Marak

O

n a recent visit to Arcata Artisans I watched a small group of people enter together, engaged in a lively conversation. Almost immediately upon entering, the conversation faded and they split up, each drawn to different work around the gallery — something that spoke to their personal aesthetic. It’s that kind of place.

Arcata Artisans has been providing a venue for member artists for almost 10 years. The members of the cooperative gallery work in a broad range of mediums and styles. True to form, this month’s exhibition features paintings and prints by Linnea Tobias and Barbara Wright’s mosaic glasswork as well as ceramics by Loryn White.

Barbara Wright has been making mosaics for more than 10 years and has studied the craft in Italy and Spain. While some of the inspiration for her glasswork has come from the traditions and techniques she encountered abroad, she attributes some of the coastal colors and texture in her work (abalone shell, dark sea foam greens and blues) to the environment around her Trinidad home.

Wright’s creative process is one of evolution rather than planning. She often

begins a piece with a color scheme in mind, but from there she allows the materials and the process to take over.

“They just sort of come together for me, Wright explains. “I generally cannot say what a piece is going to look like until I’m finished. They evolve.”

The bright, mosaic wall pieces, masks and fused glass jewelry (some with an almost hard candy playfulness and shine) are eye catching. With her focus on combining color and design, Wright is able to infuse her pieces with a sense of the pleasure that must come from exploring what she describes as the “endless possibilities” of the medium.

In addition to the work Wright is displaying at Arcata Artisans, she also has a piece, “She Jester,” in this year’s Maskibition, an annual exhibition of masks sponsored by the Ink People Center for the Arts in Eureka.

Linnea Tobias’ nature inspired, mixedmedia paintings are hard to miss. “I have this attraction to bright color. … I’ve tried to paint in a more neutral sort of fashion, but I just don’t enjoy it as much — I’m really kind of a colorist,” says Tobias. “I put [the colors] together so they sort of vibrate off the page.” Tobias added that, for

24 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • THURSDAY, OCT. 11, 2012 • northcoastjournal.com

her, working with such bright colors serves as a kind of antidote for what can be long, gray Humboldt winters (and springs and summers).

Tobias hopes that her work inspires a sense of joy and that it conveys something of what she experiences walking in nature. “I’m hoping that some of that intensity is coming through in the paintings,” she says. “It’s one of those things that’s hard to put in words, so I’m basically doing it visually.”

The vibrant paintings currently on display, some with Day of the Dead motifs, certainly fit the bill. The work, with depictions of flora and fauna, is clearly natureinspired, but, with the intensity of Tobias’ palette, it’s like nature on steroids — stronger, more intense than nature itself.

Loryn White’s wheel-thrown and hand built pottery might seem a bit subdued next to the intense colors of the other work on display, but that’s OK with White. In her artist’s statement, White notes that her work is the result of “many years of seeking tranquility in form and color,” and that the “graceful lines and simplicity” of Japanese architecture and brush painting as well as the “colors, textures and peacefulness” of

Japanese gardens are key influences in her work.

White’s large vessel “torch pieces” are especially compelling and clearly reflect some of her primary influences on form and color. For these pieces, White employs a propane torch during the throwing process to accelerate drying and add texture to the clay. “It’s a really fun technique.

It’s kind of instantaneous gratification with the texture, seeing [the clay] instantly being transformed,” she says. White glazes the pieces with contrasting colors to highlight the texture, bringing out the network of fissures that covers each piece.

White’s work also shows the influence of her local surroundings. In addition to the torch pieces, White will be showing pitchers, bowls and tea sets inspired by the dogwood flowers she encounters hiking in Humboldt County. ● Wright, Tobias and White’s work is currently on display at Arcata Artisans (883 H St. in Arcata, on the Plaza). There will be a reception for the featured artists held in conjunction with Arts! Arcata on Friday, Oct. 12, from 6-9 p.m.

Pressure Drop Pressure Anya vs. Capleton, plus Joanne Rand, Sic Alps, Zion I and a lot of strings

By Bob Doran

bobdoran@northcoastjournal.com

I

t is you, oh yeah. It is you, you, oh yeah. I said pressure drop, oh pressure, oh yeah pressure’s going to drop on you.

“Pressure Drop” by Toots and The Maytals Thursday night at some as-yet-undisclosed location in northern Humboldt dubbed “Club More Fyah,” a fiery Jamaican dancehall shouter known as Capleton is slated to perform with his Prophesy Band and a couple of other Jamaicans, Chezidek and Kulcha Knox. If you’ve been reading this paper and/or following our blog since the show was announced, you know it has generated a firestorm of controversy and pressure. Simply put, Capleton is among the dancehall performers on a blacklist created

by British gay activist Peter Tatchell some time ago due to their history of what Tatchell deemed “murder music” — songs attacking gays with hateful, violent imagery. Local gay activists responded with a resistance movement and a threat of boycott, which successfully scuttled plans to present the show at the Red Fox Tavern. Then promoter Beau “Bonusman” DeVito changed his posters to “location TBA.” Hyperbolic nastiness ensued online, much of

it anonymous. DeVito is determined and, pressure or not, it looks like the show will go on.

Let’s hope peace returns to Humboldt when the fyah burns out.

Not long before The Red Fox show was cancelled, I got an email from DJ Gabe Pressure, who works regularly with DJ Anya under the moniker Pressure Anya. The duo had a show planned for a Friday night at the Red Fox to celebrate Anya being named “Best Club DJ” in the Journal readers’ poll, and to debut a regular weeknight gig at the Fox they call “Rump Shaker Wednesdays.” Another email followed saying they’d cancelled their gig, then another saying it was back on.

“We’d basically backed out because we were not comfortable with Capleton playing at the venue,” explained Gabe. “We wanted to stand with the gay community and show our support.”

As Red Fox owner Brian Swizlo noted, he pulled the plug on the Capleton show due to pressure from the gay community and from artists who perform at his venue — to be specific, from Pressure Anya. “I can’t lose 80 percent of the people that frequent my club over one show,” Swizlo told the Journal. “All I

can hope is that the gay community steps up and supports our club.” They did that Friday night, despite calls from some to boycott the club forever for even considering renting to Bonusman.

Pressure Anya’s next step: a special “AntiCapleton Conscious Reggae and Dancehall Night” edition of the ongoing P/A “Dirty Thursdays” this week at the Alibi. Says Gabe, “In honor of National Coming Out Day and in lieu of the Capleton show, we will provide an alternative to hate music by spinning all conscious roots, reggae and dancehall.” You can be sure that classic Maytals song will be in the mix.

Also on Thursday, singer/songwriter Joanne Rand plays at Westhaven Center for the Arts along with Mare Wakefield, a like-minded songwriter from Nashville. When Rand called Monday, she’d just returned from a practice session with guitarist Robert Franklin, who’s moved back to Humboldt town after a sojourn in Seattle (which means Shinbone will be back in action too).

Rand says she’s writing “a whole lot of new songs — I’m in the process of recording my 13th album, Nashville Sessions,” heavily influenced by time spent in Music City working with picker/songsmith Steve Young. Proving that she’s willing to suffer for her art, Rand tore a rotator cuff practicing a technique Young taught her to speed up her thumb-picking.

“A luthier gave me this beautiful parlor guitar [smaller and easier on the hands] so I could continue playing,” she noted. “That influenced the new songs — they have an old-time sound, but with a modern edge.”

Rand is also playing Sunday with keyboard wizard Tim Randles at Coastal Grove’s Festival of Courage — nothing medieval, but knowing Joanne, sure to be courageous.

San Francisco psych rockers Sic Alps stop by the Shanty Thursday. The band is on the road behind a new eponymous disc out on Drag City. Main man Mike Donovan is in fine form here, refining the Alps sound with shades of Revolver/Rubber Soul-era Beatles and a touch of Brian Jonestown Massacre — a really good record. Also on the bill, a pair of local alt. whatever bands, People and Super Brown (whose Facebook page says “robo psych” in the genre box).

Hip hop meets EDM Friday at Humboldt Brews as the hip hop duo Zion I (MC Zumbi and beat maker Amp Live) hit town with a new disc, Shadowboxing, and tour mate Minnesota, a Santa Cruz dubstep/glitch hop DJ who recently toured with Big Gigantic. “Shadowboxing is an album about metaphorical kicks and throws at oneself,” says Zumbi via email, “about looking inward at the shadow self, and seeking awareness in the darkness of one’s own psyche.” Opening the show: local EDM luminary DJ Touch and Professor Funk.

Friday at the Red Fox, Bad Kitty presents Detroit punkabilly trio Koffin Kats, on the road with The Silver Shine, a psychobilly trio from

Budapest, Hungary, with the lovely Krista Kat on upright bass. Arcata punks Aleister Christ open.

Jonesing for some blues? The soulful True Gospel Singers serve as hosts for another Humboldt Talent Showcase Friday at Westhaven Center for the Arts. Or you could catch the Jim Lahman Band that Friday at Six Rivers. Then on Wednesday, brassy vocalist Kaye Bohler belts out some R&B at Humboldt Brews.

Funk? You’ve got it Saturday at the Jambalaya as The Speakeasy Saints meet The Bump Foundation.

SoHum jazz guitarist Jim Wilde celebrates his 65th birthday Friday at Persimmons in Redway by jamming with saxophonist Francis Vanek, bassist Damien Roomets, drummer Michael Curran and assorted guests. You’re invited to the party. (Yes, there will be cake.)

The whirling vinyl onslaught continues Saturday at HumBrews with Red and Zephyr‘s “Garage Rock A’ Go Goo No. 2” with special guests Matt n’ Adam spinning garage, psych, surf, soul, etc. to create what DJ Red calls “a sock hop with an attitude.”

The above-mentioned disc duo Pressure Anya joins forces with King Maxwell for an ‘80s Halloween Dance Party Friday at the Jambalaya (yes, costumes already). Pressure Anya is also spinning for the Shanty’s Roller Derby After Party Saturday night following the final matches of the year by our local lady rollers.

One more: King Maxwell and the relentless DJ Anya spin appropriate tunes for amateur roller skaters Sunday night at the Blue Lake Roller Rink (in Perigot Park).

You’ll find details in the calendar about Absynth Quintet‘s Fourth Annual String Thing at the Arcata Theatre Lounge Friday night with far flung variations on bluegrass, old time, etc. For more or less traditional bluegrass (with a Humboldt twist) you have the Compost Mountain Boys playing a Saturday evening show at the Fortuna Monday Club as part of the Fortuna Concert Series. And at the same time Saturday, fiddlers Blake Ritter and Sam McNeill play for a Humboldt Folklife Barn Dance at the Arcata Veterans Memorial Building with Sue Moon calling the dances.

Scottish fiddler Alasdair Fraser and young cellist Natalie Haas play neo-traditional Celtic string music Saturday at at the Van Duzer. On the same night Maldon Meehan and Brian O’Hairt play traditional Irish sean-nós music for dancing at a house concert in Bayside. (Call 707-502-1678 to reserve a ticket and they’ll tell you where.)

Then there’s Monday’s show at the Arcata Playhouse, a return visit by Argentina-born guitarist Gonzalo Bergara and his quartet offering a modern take on Django Reinhardt’s Hot Club jazz. AQ guitarist Ryan Roberts says, “Gonzalo’s the man — the best gypsy jazz player in America.” High praise. ●

Ball of String One thing’s for certain: Humboldt loves its string bands, be they traditional or alternative, and both are in evidence this weekend as string music abounds.

A big ball-o-string unravels Friday night at the Arcata Theatre Lounge with Absynth Quintet, local practitioners of something the band calls “high energy gypsy jamgrass,” presenting a seven-band mini-festival, the Fourth Annual String Thing. It’s something of a culmination for a summer that saw Absynth playing a series of prestigious festivals from Strawberry and Yonder Mountain’s String Summit to the Oregon Country Fair and Gaia Fest.

“We’re huge,” says Absynth guitarist Ryan Roberts with a self-deprecating laugh. “But seriously, we’ve had the best summer ever. We had a good response everywhere we went. And our resume looks really good now.” Roberts says he sees planning and producing the String Thing as a “learning experience to see how a festival comes together from the other direction.”

Part of that is assembling a line-up that will appeal to string music fans. AQ started locally. “We’ve been wanting to play with Huckleberry Flint forever; I don’t think we’ve ever played with them,” said Roberts. And hey, Journal readers just voted Huck “Best Band,” so that band was in. And Arcata’s No Good Redwood Ramblers were naturals.

The rest of the bill is a study in six degrees of separation. Kat Fountain, a former member of The Bucky Walters, now plays harmonica and guitar for the West Virginia-based quintet Brown Chicken Brown Cow String Band, and that band’s mélange of gypsy,

folk, jazz and bluegrass fits with AQ. While AQ has never played with WhiteWater Ramble, the two bands are connected via fiddler Zebulon Bowles, an Arcata native who played on Absynth’s Iota album and also jams regularly with WhiteWater. Roberts says the “high octane Rocky Mountain dance-grass” quintet from Colorado plays “kind of up-tempo alternate bluegrass — with a drummer,” again, simpatico with AQ. Bowles also shows up on the latest album by Colorado-based alt. country/bluegrass singer/songwriter Rorey Carroll and will play in her band.

The surprise of the evening (not listed on the poster or in the PR) will be the side-stage “tweener” sets by Raising Grain, a brand new combo led by AQ mandolinist Bird Jowaisas. More connections here: Flatpicking guitarist Rich Kearns is another former Bucky W. member. Banjo picker Cory Goldman played at an earlier String Thing when he was with The Water Tower Bucket Boys out of Portland; he has since settled in Arcata and plays with Lyndsey Battle’s band among others. Bassist for the “mainly bluegrass” combo is John Ludington from Absynth. Yes, all of the strings are tied together.

The Fourth Annual String Thing takes place Friday, Oct. 12, at the Arcata Theatre Lounge, 1036 G St. Doors open at 7 p.m. Admission is $15, $12 in advance with tickets available at Wildwood Music, Wildberries Marketplace and the ATL box office.

The show is for those 21 and over and is sponsored by the Humboldt Folklife Society, KHUM and Wildwood Music.

Women Revealing Women You sick of this election season yet? Long, tedious, loud, yes, it’s all encompassing. So. Let us try to give you something about it to celebrate.

Ahem. Did you know that this year marks the 100th year of California women’s suffrage? Don’t lie! You didn’t! But Arcata Playhouse executive director Jackie Dandeneau did. And she’s been planning a kind of celebration.

For nearly a year, Dandeneau and her team have been working on a show about local women’s history. They’ve poured over historical books, newspapers and obituaries and met with Humboldtrooted women, young and old, gathering their stories. Assisted by researchers Tammy Rae Scott and Edith Butler, Dandeneau explored the lives of local women — writers, farmers, activists, pilots and Olympians — in an attempt to construct a narrative that gives us some idea of where we are now.

Community involvement in the show wasn’t limited to shared anecdotes. Dandeneau and crew, impressively, were able to raise $5,000 to fund the endeavor via Kickstarter.

The journey culminates this week when Women of the Pacific Northwest debuts at the Arcata

Tim Burton digs up his early work in Frankenweenie.

Take My Dead Dog … Please!

With Frankenweenie and Taken 2, Hollywood reanimates old corpses

By Dev Richards

filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

FRANKENWEENIE. Everything Tim Burton touches turns into Johnny Depp.

Frankenweenie is Burton’s first film since Big Fish to not star Depp (and Burton’s ever-trusty sidekick, Helena Bonham Carter). Depp’s high cheekboned, creepy countenance is all over Frankenweenie, despite his absence from the cast. His visage is worn blaringly by the main character, Victor Frankenstein (voiced by Charlie Tahan). It’s off-putting, distracting, and one of the many flaws of Frankenweenie.

Long before Frankenweenie was a

full-feature twinkle in the eyes of Disney, it was a 1982 short film that never reached the theatres. Fans of Burton may remember it from the bonus features on the DVD of The Nightmare Before Christmas. The original was live-action, 30 minutes long, and pretty much brilliant. It was of an era when Burton was still a filmmaker and still had everything it took to be an auteur. The feature-length animated version of Frankenweenie is a lot like most of Burton’s recent work: completely unnecessary.

The setup is the same in both versions.

A quixotic 10-year-old, Victor Frankenstein,

loses his beloved dog, Sparky. After a disturbing science lesson with his new instructor, Mr. Rzykruski (Martin Landau), Victor decides to resurrect his dog with electricity (specifically, lightning), thus killing two birds with one stone: He gets his dog back, and he has a project for the science fair.

This is where the plot starts to differ. In the original, Sparky wreaks mild havoc in the neighborhood and then valiantly wins over the hearts of everyone in town by saving Victor from a burning windmill (one continued on next page

of many visual allusions to the 1931 Frankenstein starring Boris Karloff). This time, Sparky’s revival leads the children of New Holland to begin resurrecting their own pets. Each pet creates its own disaster, and a large Godzillian battle takes place.

Both versions share essentially the same beginning and end, but this animated version lacks the heart of the original. It complicates the moral by twisting the main character into a kid who’s antisocial and lonely, rather than a gregarious boy who just loves his dog too much.

Bypass the remake. The original is easily accessible, and I strongly recommend adding it to your collection. You’ll get Daniel Stern, Shelley Duvall and Barret Oliver (Neverending Story, D.A.R.Y.L.) and some brilliant camerawork. This is in contrast to the remake, which gives you hackneyed animation, Winona Ryder and a sense of buyer’s remorse. PG. 87m.

TAKEN 2. Revenge is the cornerstone of action movie sequels, particularly if the first film was riddled with loopholes or left conveniently unresolved. Taken 2 is a little of column A and a lot of column B. Screenwriter Luc Besson was careful in Taken (2008) not to shut the door completely on Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) and his ex-CIA asskickery.

After Mills rescues his daughter Kim (Maggie Grace) from an Albanian sex trafficking ring in the first film, everything seems to go back to normal for him. His ex-wife Lenore (Famke Janssen) returns to her new husband, his daughter goes off to college and he returns to his crappy LA apartment.

Taken 2 opens with the funeral of the Albanians Mills killed in the first film.

Before the men are buried (literally), the father of the now-deceased ringleader swears vengeance. The narrative is now in place: Angry, radical Islamists are taking their revenge on a heroic American (played by an Irishman).

That shaky premise is the least of Taken 2‘s problems. Even if you can get past the idea that Mills would take his family to Istanbul so soon after their last experience, you still have to force yourself to believe Neeson and Grace are young enough for their roles. Neeson’s age, 60, is disguised by jittery handheld camerawork in the action scenes; buying Grace as a teenager (she was 28 during production) requires suspended disbelief, particularly if you’re familiar with her as Shannon from Lost.

Then, there’s Neeson’s accent: a mild Irish twang hiding below a thin layer of overly shortened vowels. Despite having dozens of American films under his belt, Neeson has yet to perfect his accent. I think it’s safe to assume, at this point, he never will.

After picking away all the flaws you’re left with the shell of an action movie: car chases, fight scenes and ‘splosions. In this realm, Besson and director Olivier Megaton (Colombiana, Transporter 3) receive high marks. Istanbul’s narrow, cobblestoned streets make every car chase extra crashy. Cars hitting cars, cars hitting trains, cars hitting guys carrying fruit — you name it and a car hits it. Gunfights are intermixed with hand-to-hand combat and the occasional grenade-flinging.

Taken 2 is more novelty than film. The same general effect can be achieved by a visit to YouTube and a search for “Neeson Season.” You’ll get all the hilarious and exciting action without all the pesky

attempts at plot and character development. PG13. 91m.

Opening

ARGO. Ben Affleck stars in and directs this political thriller about a CIA scheme to rescue six American diplomats held hostage in Tehran during the 1979 Iran hostage crisis by pretending to make a sci-fi movie. Sounds unbelievable, but it’s based on a true story. R. 120m.

HERE COMES THE BOOM. This sports comedy from director Frank Coraci (Zoolander) stars Kevin James as a high school biology teacher who becomes a mixed martial arts fighter to raise money so that his school’s cash-strapped music program won’t be cancelled. PG. 105m.

SINISTER. Ethan Hawke stars as a true crime novelist whose family gets plunged into a world of terror in this supernatural thriller from the writer-director of The Exorcism of Emily Rose. R. 109m.

SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS. What a cast!

This dark, foulmouthed comedy from Martin McDonagh, writer-director of 2008’s underappreciated In Bruge, stars Collin Farrell, Christopher Walken, Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell and — swoon! — Tom Waits. R. 109m.

ATLAS SHRUGGED: PART 2. Ayn Rand’s didactic 1957 novel has become a handbook of sorts for right wing politicians like Paul Ryan. Despite bombing at the box office, last year’s adaptation of Rand’s dull libertarian treatise spawned this sequel.

PG13. 112m.

This is an Arcata Theatre Lounge Sci-Fi Pint and Pizza Night twofer week, starting with a Thursday, Oct. 11, double-feature

focused on giant atomic monsters, specifically Them!, a 1954 classic about an infestation of oversized irradiated ants, plus schlockmeister Roger Corman’s Attack of the Crab Monsters from 1957. (The title says it all.) Wednesday, Oct. 17, it’s monster smackdown time with Japan’s famed Toho Studios pitting the giant ape King Kong against the fire-breathing dinosaur Gojira in King Kong vs. Godzilla. That’s paired with Yongary, Monster from the Deep, a 1967 South Korean film about a humongous gasoline-eating dinosaur unleashed by an earthquake in the Middle East. Is that why gas prices are so high?

In between the ATL has a Saturday, Oct. 13, screening of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005), the fourth installment in the young wizard series, and a Sunday showing of Hocus Pocus (1993) to help you get ready for Halloween. Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy star as a trio of goofy witches executed during the Salem witch trials who return to wreak havoc 300 years later.

The Humboldt County Library’s “Based on the Book” film series continues with Raymond Chandler’s film noir classic Murder, My Sweet, directed by Edward Dmytryk and starring Dick Powell as gumshoe Philip Marlowe — Tuesday at the Eureka branch.

HOUSE AT THE END OF THE STREET. A divorced mom (Elisabeth Shue) and her teenage daughter (Jennifer Lawrence) move into a house furnished with a psycho. PG13. 101m.

LOOPER. Joe (Joseph Gordon Levitt) is a mob hitman in the future who’s supposed to kill an older version of himself (Bruce Willis), sent back from the future’s future. R. 118m.

PITCH PERFECT. Anna Kendrick heads the cast in a music-drenched tale of an all-girl acapella group striving to win a championship. PG13. 112m.

RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION. Milla Jovovich’s fifth turn in the critically reviled, commercially boffo zombie-slaughter franchise. Mmm, brains! R. 95m.

book John F. Kennedy

By Alan Brinkley Times Books

I turned 14 the summer Sen. John F. Kennedy was nominated for president, and I participated in my first political campaign. I had relatives I could visit in Washington, D.C., to see the inaugural parade in January, and by luck and pluck that weekend I was one of the first non-dignitaries to shake hands with the new president.

So it isn’t surprising that I read the major books on JFK (and some minor ones) through the 1960s. Then came the revisionists, the debunkers, the gossipmongers, and I mostly passed on those, while being aware of their main points.

So I came to this relatively slim volume for a balanced view by a distinguished historian and biographer. It’s part of The American Presidents Series, co-edited by Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., the historian who was a White House aide to JFK and wrote his own long book on this presidency. So I assume he wouldn’t let serious errors pass.

Yes, Brinkley writes, JFK’s health was more precarious, and he was more of a womanizer, than was known at the time. Brinkley handles such revisions fairly, though overall he seems so impatiently determined to demythologize JFK that it becomes harder to understand how Kennedy had such an impact on his times or why he was so popular as president. But mostly Brinkley’s narrative is factual.

It lacks the detail to bring events to life, but most of the time it generalizes judiciously with the perspective of time and newer evidence.

It will probably amaze younger readers that so much of such importance and drama happened in such a brief presidency, including several foreign crises culminating in the Cuban missile crisis, as well as economic, political and civil rights struggles at home. I caught only one implied factual error, but otherwise Brinkley’s interpretations of events may not be mine, but they are at least plausible.

(I’d certainly place more emphasis on JFK’s American University speech and subsequent championing of the limited nuclear test ban treaty.)

On the question of whether JFK would have extracted the modest U.S. presence from Vietnam had he lived to be reelected, Brinkley is doubtful.

But he doesn’t explain why he disagrees with the evidence to the contrary collected by government scholar James K. Galbraith, or the statements by Kennedy aides, including Schlesinger, that JFK was indeed planning to withdraw.

Brinkley dismisses those who see JFK idealistically, oddly lumping them together with conspiracy theorists. Still, as a brief primer on the Kennedy presidency this book succeeds pretty well. I wouldn’t stop here, though. For all their omissions, longer and earlier books by the likes of Schlesinger and Ted Sorenson still give a fuller picture of JFK and his times.

Proposals are sought from Charter schools – We have 6 classrooms available for primary occupancy by a charter school and 4 potentially shared classrooms.

We are also seeking proposals from organizations and programs that offer recreation, art, performing arts, cultural enrichment, after school programs, nursery schools, health, nutrition, physical fitness, literacy, and other community resources.

The Jefferson Campus is proposed to house a Charter School in the South Building and by fall of 2014 (if not sooner) all space in the South building will be dedicated to that purpose. We are seeking proposals from Charter Schools that will recruit students from our community and offer free quality education to the children of the Westside, elementary schools preferred.

The North Building will house a Community Recreation and Cultural Enrichment Center. Programs in the North Building are expected to share space in order to maximize the benefit to the community and minimize the cost to operate programs here. We are also proposing the development or renovation of 2 more spaces outside the North Building.

There will also be a public park available for outdoor recreation programs, a neighborhood events center with a stage, and a permitted kitchen. Programs are expected to offer free opportunities to children and families that live within ½ a mile of the Jefferson Project. We welcome proposals from organizations serving all ages.

The proposed timeline for completion of the improvements at the facility is September 2014, but parts of the facility will be ready much sooner.

The Marble Halls of Oregon

By Barry Evans

fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com

T

he Oregon Caves National Monument, just 20 miles east of Cave Junction on Highway 199, is one of the world’s few marble caves.

“Solutional” caves, that is, caves formed in soluble rock, are almost always found in limestone country. In a nutshell, rainwater absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere forming a weak solution of carbonic acid. As the resulting groundwater flows through natural planes, joints and faults in the rock, it slowly eats away at the limestone (calcium carbonate) forming, in geologic time, caves. And as the calcium carbonate precipitates out of solution seeping into the caves, beautiful calcite formations, such as flowstones, stalactites, stalagmites, straws, rafts and columns, slowly form.

Marble is what happens to limestone after it’s been squished, heated and generally abused deep underground. Geologists believe that the Oregon Caves marble probably originated on the oceanic Pacific Plate as a tropical limestone reef formed from the shells of sea creatures that lived and died some 200 million years ago. Moving east, the Pacific Plate was “subducted” beneath the lighter continental North American Plate, scraping the limestone off the descending oceanic crust. The friction between the two plates caused massive heating and deformation some 10 miles below the surface, turning the limestone into marble in a process known as metamorphism. Later, the marble was forced up to around 4,000 feet above sea level.

That’s the “Cliff’s Notes” geological his-

tory. The human history, as far as we know, began in 1874, when hunter Elijah Davidson’s dog chased a bear into the cave. Elijah followed, and soon found himself in pitch blackness after the last of his matches gave out. He was eventually able to wade down an ice-cold stream back to daylight. (After a brief dip at the Cave Creek campground, I can attest to the water temperature.)

Within a few years, other explorers were venturing farther underground, dazzled, according to contemporary accounts, by the gorgeous calcite formations. The caves became known as “The Marble Halls of Oregon,” and were soon being visited by early tourists to the region who threatened their vulnerable beauty. To his credit, in 1909 President Taft invoked the newly passed Antiquities Act, which set aside the caves and the surrounding forest as a national monument. The National Park Service, formed in 1916, now administers the entire area, underground and above ground.

If you haven’t visited the Oregon Caves, I do encourage you to do so. It’s open from late March to early November: call (541) 592-2100 to check on times. Dress warmly for the cave’s 44 degrees. The standard guided tour, which lasts about 90 minutes, is a fine introduction to the underworld for us surface-dwellers. And the surrounding country, deep within the Siskyou mountains, isn’t too shabby either. ● Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo.com) loves caves but, unlike his ancestors, wouldn’t want to live in one. Thanks to Don Garlick for help with this column.
