Editor: Thank you Thadeus Greenson for the piece honoring the life and death of Richard Frederick Tis’mil Estrada (“‘System Failure,’” Oct. 15). I’ve often wondered about the young man who wielded a machete in that tragic incident last year. Richie’s story touched my heart, and I feel deeply saddened for his lost life, his family’s loss, and for the officer who was brutally injured, and his family’s suffering in the aftermath of the occurrence. I feel deep sorrow for Richie’s mother Leanne. It must be such a hard thing, looking back on having moved her son and family to Hoopa from LA to get out of the city and all its harshness. And to have her son growing up such a good-hearted kid, doing well in school, and then trying to deal with his debilitating accident and seeming sudden onset of bipolar disorder. How hard it must have been for her to reach out for help to psychiatrists, and at every turn, no one was there to help. Our county is fortunate to have psychotherapists like Gerald Drucker to turn to for help. If only Richie could have had more counseling, a quick and decent referral to a psychiatrist for medication, and perhaps a more supportive environment in and around Hoopa for kids with mental difficulties and disorders. But it was not meant to be. As Samhain/Dio des los Muertos approaches, and the veil between the seen and unseen worlds draws thin, may Richie’s dearly departed ancestors give forth their undying love and messages of comfort to his family. Even though I never knew Richie, I feel the loss of him in our community, and have added his photograph to my ofrenda. His spirit lives on, and the ancestors’ voices can still be heard. Tina Dawson, Arcata
Editor: Until reading your “System Failure” story, all I’d known was a “crazy guy” went after a cop with a machete. Your report is the sort of excellent journalism that can make a real difference in society — pointing out the complications of a situation, showing how multiple problems can all contribute to a horrific outcome, noting where public responsibilities were not met, exploring the tragedy of a family trying to deal with mental illness in a community whose investment in health and human services, for whatever reasons, has clearly not brought the needed results. My heart goes out to the Estrada family who lost a child, and to Officer Gray — sent to an accident scene without the information he needed to do his job as safely as possible. When citizens ask someone to risk their lives for us, we owe them leadership that minimizes their risks. Mitch Trachtenberg, Trinidad

Editor: I want to compliment Ellen Taylor for the article she wrote in honor of the Golden Rule and all the fine veterans (and nonvets) who worked on her (“The Golden Rule Recalled to Life,” Sept. 10). The article described, in depth, the people who were honored and their background. This article reflects the depth and concern for peace that so many of our community hold dear and gracefully mentioned that the amount of monies spent on nuclear warheads hasn’t been reduced but is on the increase. The irony of “The Golden Rule” was not lost on the reader; do unto others … what do we expect from others? Ginni Hassrick, Bayside

Editor: It has been refreshing to see the positive changes to the vision for our harbor. I have heard for years the same old story regarding shipping out of this port. If it is such a fantastic idea, why haven’t shippers been clamoring to ship out of here? Because it doesn’t make economic sense. I’m glad the pulp mill site is being cleaned up and repurposed. The previous owners obviously had no intention of doing so. The Harbor District saw the potential for disaster, got together with the agencies and people who could help solve the problem, acted, and accomplished the cleanup as soon as they could. Good for them. This board deserves to continue its present course. Please re-elect Greg Dale and Patrick Higgins. I’m writing in Aaron Newman. Remember, people throughout the world risk their lives to be able to vote. Most Americans automatically have this option. Use it. Shirley Bay, Eureka
Editor: In an era of political quagmire and hostility, it has been refreshing to watch the five elected Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation commissioners working well together in setting goals for the health and economic enrichment of Humboldt Bay, as well as for the safety and recreational opportunities available to the wide array of people that take advantage of what our bay has to offer. Pat Higgins is ready to accomplish more in his Terry Torgerson. third term on the Harbor Commission. Since his election in 2007, he has been integral in helping to set the path toward financial balance and security, greater environmental awareness and responsibility, increased recreational opportunities and improved protection of North Coast marine fish populations. Pat is committed to the health and wise use of Humboldt Bay. Please visit Pat’s website to learn more of Pat’s accomplishments, professional experience and vision at www.HigginsforHarbor.com, and join me in voting for Pat on Nov. 3.

in support of the economic and environmental health of the harbor to benefit the many harbor users. Richard L. Ridenhour, McKinleyville Editor: Measure A is not about safety. Arcata Fire Chief Cowan’s wish list will cost the fire department another $1.5 million. More crew members would be nice, but according to Cowan it’s not a safety factor. Fires represent only 8 percent of the calls. He told me directly that if this 100 percent tax increase doesn’t pass, he would still be able to keep the community safe and provide the exact same service we have now. The fire department receives a percentage of the county’s property tax. As the community grows, department income grows. If warranted, the county could increase Cowan’s revenue share. Also, very troubling, the fireman’s union is promoting and marketing this new tax. The union is a group that will directly and immediately gain from it passing. Vote no. Encourage the chief to work within his budget or build a better case to the county why the department budget should be increased. Glen Nagy, Arcata Editor: As a former harbor commissioner, I urge a vote for Pat Higgins as harbor commissioner from the 5th District. He has been an effective and valued member of the board of commissioners. In these difficult times, I believe the district needs his ability to understand the technical problems facing the district such as the county-wide economic impacts of harbor developments and the assessment of such matters as the effects of rising coastal levels on the district’s jurisdiction. And, I believe his personal vested interests are entirely

A Strategic Property
Harbor District land deal sparks allegations of ‘political motivations’ By Thadeus Greenson
newsroom@northcoastjournal.com
T
he Humboldt County Harbor, Conservation and Recreation District recently closed the purchase of a 16-acre property neighboring the old pulp mill site that has become a lightning rod in the district’s looming election. The district purchased 16.5 acres from Freshwater Tissue Co., the same company from which the district acquired the mill site in 2013, for almost $600,000. The property is lynchpin to the district’s future plans of developing the old mill site, as it allows another access road to the mill, increased upland storage and, eventually, the potential for the district to build a much-needed shipping dock on the bay. But an unanticipated month-long delay in what the district expected to be a rubber-stamp approval by the Humboldt County Planning Commission has some involved crying foul, charging that electoral politics almost railroaded the deal. “It’s all about the politics of these days right now,” said Harbor District CEO Jack Crider. “The election has been pretty brutal, and this was the start of that whole thing. There’s a lot of political motivations going on right now.” Two Harbor Commission seats are up for grabs in next month’s election and the races are hotly contested, pitting incumbents Greg Dale and Patrick Higgins against challengers Nick Angeloff and Susan Rotwein. In the campaigns, the district’s 2013 acquisition of the abandoned and dilapidated mill site from Freshwater Tissue Co. has taken center stage, with the challengers arguing the district should have left the site in private hands and the incumbents saying the acquisition was imperative to access millions of dollars in federal funds to clean up the site and fend off a looming environmental disaster. When the district took control of the site, it also put down $320,000 in exchange for an option to purchase all of Freshwater Tissue’s property on the peninsula. A couple of years later, the district determined it had no need or interest in the bulk of the company’s property, but
it did want a 16.5-acre piece of land that juts up against the mill site and includes an access road connecting to Old Navy Base Road and a large tarmac area that the old mill owner once used to store wood chips. Crider said the acquisition will make the old mill site more attractive to new tenants, offering increased storage space and the access road, which means large trucks can loop through the property without having to turn around. “It’s definitely a strategic property for us to buy,” Crider said. Acquiring the property also opens the door for the district to pursue plans to build a dock that allows four longshoreman crews to simultaneously use four cranes to load a ship. Crider and others have long contended the bay needs such a dock to reach its shipping potential. Crider said Security National has been reticent to invest the millions of dollars needed to maximize the potential of its own dock, and that Schneider Dock south of the Eureka waterfront can only accommodate two longshoreman crews at a time, making it an inefficient option for exporters. The deal makes sense for Freshwater Tissue, too, according to owner Bob Simpson, because the company plans to use the $594,000 to pay down debt on its other property. Once the other property is debt free, Simpson said the company can secure a small business loan to complete construction on a sawdust briquette manufacturing facility at the mill site. The plan, Simpson said, was to get the deal with the Harbor District done back in July so the new facility would be running by the end of the year, well in advance of the osprey nesting season that severely restricts construction on the peninsula annually from March through August. The two parties agreed to the deal back in June, but it had to go before the planning commission for a coastal development permit. Because the Harbor District is a public agency, attorneys for both the district and Freshwater Tissue Co. believed a California Map Act exemption applied to the deal and spared the district

from having to go through standard processes to split an existing parcel in two and change its ownership. County counsel and planning staff agreed, telling the planning commission at meetings in August and September (after July’s meeting was canceled due to a lack of a quorum) that it was essentially bound by state law to approve the permit that would facilitate the deal unless it found “substantial evidence” that public policy necessitated a more thorough process. Some of the commissioners, however, were not convinced. Several of them voiced their strong philosophical opposition to public entities acquiring private property or competing with private industry — echoing a campaign rallying cry of the district’s challengers. And why, commissioner Alan Bongio wondered, should the district be exempt from the same California Map Act rules that apply to all private citizens? Commissioner Lee Ulansey said he doubted state law exempts public agencies from the Map Act entirely and said the same conditions the commission normally applies to subdivisions should apply to this deal. In August, the commission approved the subdivision of Chairman Robert Morris’ parcel of Harrison Avenue into 16 lots, an approval that came with a host of conditions, including everything from environmental protections to Americans with Disability Act compliance. Why, Ulansey asked, couldn’t the commission simply impose conditions on its approval of this CDP? Deputy County Counsel Joel Ellinwood said the planning commission simply didn’t have any legal authority in this case. “The authority to condition approval is dependent on the authority to grant or withhold a permit, and in this case you don’t have any authority because (the deal) is exempt,” he said. This discussion played out over the course of five and a half hours spread over two meetings, and culminated with the commission’s approval of the CDP with conditions, mostly just requiring the district to comply with county regulations it would have been held to anyway. By then, two months had gone by. The delay in approval caused the Harbor District some added expense, according to Crider, but nothing too major. But for Simpson and Freshwater Tissue, the delayed approval cost a year’s worth of business. Simpson explained that the
company is now in the midst of waiting for approval of its loan, which likely won’t come until November or December. Then it will have to wait up to six months for equipment to be shipped to the site — after the beginning of osprey nesting season — meaning the company likely won’t be able to get busy on construction until September of 2016. That’s a costly delay for a business that Simpson expects to earn $500,000 to $1 million annually, employ 18 people and give local sawmills another place to market waste materials. “That’s what they’ve effectively cost me with this little political stunt,” Simpson said, adding that it was frustrating to watch the CDP for his project — initially placed on the commission’s consent calendar — languish while a “nearly identical” one for the Loleta Community Services District was passed without discussion in October. “We lose one year because of the games that were played by that planning commission.” But is there any evidence politics were at play in those commission meetings? Not really, but some commissioners do have ties to challenger Nick Angeloff, who’s an advisory board member to a private political corporation — the Humboldt Coalition for Property Rights (HumCPR) — that Ulansey founded and that once listed commission chair Robert Morris as its treasurer. (Morris also donated $500 to Angeloff’s campaign). David Schneider — whose Schneider Dock is now in danger of competing with a public facility — also donated $500 to Angeloff. And an email chain obtained by the Journal shows current HumCPR Executive Director Alec Ziegler was talking to his members and board about Dale facing a potential legal challenge weeks before local taxpayer’s advocate Leo Sears filed a conflict of interest lawsuit against the district on Oct. 5. For his part, Ulansey took to a local blog recently to dispute a charge that he’s actively working to shape the outcome of the Harbor District races. He wrote that he knows and likes both Angeloff and Dale, and that the county is lucky to have “two knowledgeable and committed” people in the race. When it comes to the Freshwater Tissue deal, Ulansey urged those curious to watch the meeting for themselves. “I am quite confident that anyone with an open mind will find the theme of the meeting to be an attempt to find fairness and equity,” he wrote. l

We Can Do Better By Jud Ellinwood
newsroom@northcoastjournal.com
L
inda Stansberry should be commended for writing the article “Can Humboldt County Solve Addiction?” (Sept. 24). It is one of the most informative, relevant and insightful investigative pieces the Journal has printed in the last decade and should be mandatory reading for our local policy makers. It is a detailed description of a network of social and health service providers that, while created with the best of intentions, delivers a fraction of the benefits that a more effective system could with the same resources. A stark takeaway from the article is that what could be achieved with existing resources is severely constrained by decades of policy and bureaucratic overlays in the form of operational structure, defined responsibilities, rules and regulations. They impose a slew of constraints on public and nonprofit agencies, removing virtually all flexibility, severely limiting effective collaboration and preventing integration. It is obvious we could do much better given a different system. As Linda’s article convincingly shows, we need a system designed around a needs-driven approach, not the topdown, inefficient system we have been forced to live with. If something is to change substantially for the better, policymakers will need a credible, popularly supported blueprint for how to do the job better with the same resources, achievable goals and an estimate of what additional resources might be needed to attain even higher treatment success targets. Do we, the public, remain complacent as our elected officials continue to passively accept the limitations of the status quo and make tiny improvements at the margins? Or do we encourage them to as-

sume a proactive leadership role by taking advantage of local expertise and directing it toward building a better conceptual system design from the bottom up? This seems to be one of those situations where a short-term investment of resources could deliver substantial and ongoing long-term benefits. I’d like to hear what our officials consider to be the upsides and downsides to convening a blue ribbon panel of local service providers and experts to do the following: First, define both the full spectrum of treatment service needs that currently exist and how best to deliver treatment to those who need it; second, design a new, comprehensive, process-and-procedurally simplified, better integrated and more flexible structure that would take full advantage of collaborative opportunities and flexibility in implementation; and third, work with local officials, and state and federal representatives, to craft a package of proposed policy changes that would be needed to allow the new system to be built and sustained. This obviously would be an overly ambitious and unrealistic undertaking if it were intended to be a one-off. But the product of this comprehensive bottom-up effort may look so good to policymakers that they could decide to allocate the state and federal funding needed to put it in place, monitor and evaluate it as a county-scale system pilot project that could potentially be replicated in many other rural areas. It is time to move the local policy focus away from solely trying to make a hamstrung treatment system work, and to begin relying on those in our community with the knowledge, experience and skills to devise a system that will not only meet
our local needs, but provide a model for other California counties and municipalities. As a taxpayer, I have no problem with paying my share of the short-term costs for fixing the problems that ensure our current treatment system has gaps and redundancies, preventing it from even coming close to meeting current and future service needs. After all, it is us taxpayers who will be paying the long-term costs of maintaining the status quo. By working together imaginatively and creatively, wouldn’t it be possible for a collaboration of Humboldt County’s treatment community to design the ideal system? Local officials and rural policy advocates could play a leadership role in bringing together a coalition of rural counties and cities to put forth a popularly supported proposal that provides both a policy and implementation blueprint for how to substantially improve the return on our current investments of federal and state funding. One last question to consider: If we give our dedicated and hardworking alcohol and drug service providers an improved system, wouldn’t a side benefit be a significant reduction in homelessness? l Jud Ellinwood, a retired fisheries conservationist and more-than-30-year resident of Humboldt County, lives in Eureka.

Week in Weed
Dispensing with the DOJ By Grant Scott-Goforth grant@northcoastjournal.com
O
ne medical marijuana dispensary recently scored a significant court victory that could ease federal meddling in similar operations statewide. The Marin Alliance for Medical Marijuana, which operated out of Fairfax and was reportedly the oldest legal dispensary in the state, has been closed since 2011, when U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag won an injunction against its owner, Lynette Shaw. Since then, a Congressional act prohibited the U.S. Justice Department from spending money to prevent the implementation of medical marijuana laws. But prosecutors continued to target dispensaries in California, choosing to interpret the law in a way that angered its authors, who called for the DOJ to stop prosecuting patients and providers. Finally, on Oct. 19, a federal judge in San Francisco ruled in Shaw’s favor, writing that the “plain reading” of the congressional law “forbids the Department of Justice from enforcing this injunction.” Shaw, who said she’s been unemployed since the dispensary closed, is crowdfunding to reopen the Marina Alliance for Medical Marijuana. Other dispensaries in the Bay Area facing forfeiture actions are expected to benefit from the ruling, according to attorneys quoted in the SFGate, and the ruling is expected to set a precedent that will once and for all end federal prosecution of medical marijuana businesses operating in accordance with state law. “We won the war,” Shaw told SFGate. “And I’m the first POW to be released.” l
The SF Chronicle is reporting that Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom is likely to step away from his push to legalize recreational marijuana in California, an effort he’s led for the last year or so, convening stakeholders across the state to develop the recommendations for legalization.
10 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Oct. 22, 2015 • northcoastjournal.com
That’s not to say Newsom has flipped: He told the Chronicle he still supports legalization. But Newsom recently (and rather raucously) announced he will back a gun control initiative in 2016, an issue that will likely take up all of his time and political spending power. While Newsom’s leadership on the marijuana blue ribbon panel is done (a report was issued in July), the SF Weekly thinks that his departure from the cannabis fight could limit the probability of legalization. The paper reported that California’s major marijuana advocates don’t have nearly the funding necessary to pass an initiative, and donors aren’t stepping forward. Meanwhile, multiple groups are moving forward on separate initiatives, which some say could blow the chance of any of them being passed by California voters. l Arcata’s medical marijuana innovation zone has been approved by a unanimous vote of the city council, meaning medical marijuana businesses will be permitted to set up shop in the former Humboldt Flakeboard plant on West End Road, once repairs are made to the facility. The council had originally identified three parcels along West End Road as potential sites for the special zoning but, following complaints from neighboring businesses and residents at the Oct. 7 meeting, the council scaled the area back to the Flakeboard site. Public concern, as reported by the Mad River Union and Lost Coast Outpost, ranged from businesses frustrated about exclusion from the zoning to neighbors worried about smells and increased crime in the area. Moved by the input, the council planned an Oct. 28 community meeting to discuss the zone. Details of the zoning — including licensing requirements — are being worked out by staff and will be presented at a future meeting. l

PalCo Marsh Cleared
L
aw enforcement agencies and a clean-up crew visited the PalCo Marsh area behind the Bayshore Mall on Oct. 16 to remove traces of homeless camps. EPD recently announced officers would do less enforcement on a specific area of the marsh, just north of the Bayshore Mall. Campers were told that they must move there or face arrest under the city’s no camping ordinance. EPD Capt. Steve Watson confirmed at least one “hold out” who refused to move his camp had been arrested. The department reports officers found more than $31,000 in stolen property during the cleanup, including stolen construction equipment and bicycles. The city council revisited its controversial Open Space Property Management Plan on Oct. 20, as the Journal went to press. A Sept. 1 discussion of the proposed ordinance, which included language around the storage of personal property intended to “manage problems associated with camping,” drew hours of public comment. Those living behind the mall (an area sometimes called “The Devil’s Playground”) have received numerous deadlines. One woman, Brittany (she declined to give her last name), said she and her boyfriend had been told five or six different things since moving to the marsh several months ago. The couple was evicted from the house they were

living in because their roommate hadn’t paid rent. Councilwoman Kim Bergel said messages often get confused due to the “telephone game” of multiple people and agencies. Bergel also said a date had not been set for eviction, but that the revised Open Space Property Management plan would address the issues. A housing market analysis will be presented to the council in November. On Oct. 16, EPD Chief Andy Mills visited the area and outlying camps on an ATV to tell those campers who hadn’t moved that a Sheriff’s Work Alternative Program crew would be visiting to clean out the area, along with EPD officers. Brittany, who was sitting on the service road waiting for her boyfriend to arrive, said although they had been packed for a week they had put off moving from their spacious camp at the south end of the marsh until the last minute. The north end, she said, had more of a reputation for drug users and crime. “We’ve had our shit stolen three or four times, but typically you won’t see people shooting up dope on this end,” she said, referring to the south end of the marsh. The area around her bore evidence of previous campers: fire rings, the occasional shopping cart. But for the most part it was abandoned. — Linda Stansberry

The Pitchfork and the Mouse Does social media help or hinder public safety? By Linda Stansberry linda@northcoastjournal.com
I
t was a hot August afternoon when Robert Joseph Walters, 59, died on the steps of the Garberville County Courthouse. Walters, native to Alderpoint, had left the nearby hospital against medical advice. The Humboldt County Coroner’s Office attributes his death to chronic alcoholism. Within hours of his passing, a photo of Walters’ body was uploaded to a Facebook group called No Bums in Sohum. In an isolated area like ours, social media can be an essential tool to connect with resources both behind and beyond the Redwood Curtain. Rural neighbors use it to collaborate on town runs. Do-gooders help spread the word about wildlife relief, lost pets and volunteer events. But our can-do attitude occasionally veers into uneasy territory. Some call it digilantism, online mob justice. In recent years, several social media groups have formed in response to real or perceived gaps in, or failures of, public services. But while
these groups have demonstrated an ability to rally community members for good, their ethical boundaries and the accuracy of their information are unclear. “I was feeling lost,” said Aaron Ostrom, a McKinleyville resident of 13 years. Ostrom said he didn’t know his neighbors or his community. Everyone stayed at home in front of their televisions or interacted online. “So I thought, maybe we could re-establish sense of community digitally, on the platform we use every day.” In 2013, Ostrom created the McKin-

leyville Community Watch group on Facebook, and began posting information about abandoned vehicles and suspicious people. The group grew slowly, neighbor by neighbor. Today it is 2,500 people strong. Just as its creator hoped, its members have begun interacting in person, holding community meetings and lobbying law enforcement and political representatives. On Oct. 26, the group will host a meeting with State Sen. Mike McGuire to discuss crime, mental illness, homelessness and other
issues affecting their community. “This is a success story for McKinleyville,” said Ostrom. “We’re using that voice that didn’t exist before.” Crowdsourcing public safety is not new. The Neighborhood Watch program,
TUESDAY SENIOR DISCOUNT 10% OFF • SATURDAY STUDENT DISCOUNT (W/ID) 10% OFF
which is sponsored by the National Sheriff’s Association, has been around since 1972. There are close to 50 Neighborhood Watch Groups in Humboldt County. In 2015 the sheriff’s office collaborated with local filmmaker Malcolm DeSoto to create a short video about Neighborhood Watch. In between images of white picket fences, children playing baseball and redwood trees, Undersheriff William Honsal touted the importance of utilizing concerned citizens to do what his department cannot. “The sheriff’s office has 4,000 miles they need to cover, so Neighborhood Watch is really important,” he said in the video. “Our deputies are out there and they can only do so much. We really want the community to come together. It’s their eyes and ears that really know and really can inform us what’s going on with the community.” Ginger Campbell, a volunteer who organizes Neighborhood Watch groups through the Arcata Police Department and the sheriff’s office, said the focus of sanctioned Neighborhood Watch programs is to prevent crime by bringing neighbors together and educating people on how to make their neighborhoods less attractive to criminals. “If every single person would empty their vehicle when they left and lock its doors, the crime would drop 40 percent overnight,” Campbell said. “And officers would have more time to focus on other problems.” Campbell added that the traditional model is based around individual city blocks, where people can literally watch their neighborhood. “This is not a vigilante group,” she said. “This is not a venting session about law enforcement. What we’re about is preventing crime. We don’t patrol the streets.” While the Neighborhood Watch program does not have a sanctioned online component, some law enforcement agencies have encouraged citizens to use the website NextDoor.com. NextDoor is a private social network neighbors can use to post alerts or discuss community issues. The Eureka Police Department uses it to post crime prevention tips and ask citizens to be on the lookout for suspects. Suzie Owsley, an administrative technician with EPD responsible for organizing Neighborhood Watch groups, said the two work best when used in conjunction. Many older adults don’t go online, but will walk their blocks and participate in other Neighborhood Watch activities, she said. EPD has had a NextDoor
account for two years. “The main thing I’m seeing is just people alerting their neighbors about what’s going on. About a person walking through and checking car doors, suspicious people,” Owsley said, adding that officers sometimes identify burglary suspects from photos uploaded to the site. But as useful as citizen crime-fighters can be, they’re not trained police officers. Law enforcement agencies have policies, procedure, oversight and ethical guidelines. On Oct. 8, a NextDoor user “This is not a posted a picture of herself with vigilante group. a black eye, saying she had This is not a been “sucker-punched” venting session while trying to break up a fight about law on her front lawn.

EPD confirmed the incident is under investigation. Psychotherapist Aaron Balick, author of The Psychodynamics of Social Networking, says the medium of social media can contribute to a lack of judgment and critical thinking when it comes to analyzing information we receive online. “Being online comes with a culture of immediacy,” he told the Journal via email. “People react and respond often with the simple goal of having their tweets, photos, or whatever responded to. Unfortunately this means that many people don’t take the time to question and trust online information from some sources because they are not taking the time to think it over.” On Sept. 21 the Facebook group Operation Safe Streets polled its members, asking which Eureka neighborhood they felt the least safe in. There was a lot of overlap in the comments, with the Continued on next page »

PalCo Marsh and Broadway mentioned the most often. But pretty much every neighborhood got its share of dismay: Cooper Gulch, the Bayshore Mall, the Hikshari’ Trail, Old Town, WinCo, near the jail, Wabash west of E Street. If NextDoor is organized by geography, members in groups like Operation Safe Streets are filtered further by ideology. Like NextDoor, the close to a dozen pages and groups focused on community action and safety in Humboldt County (Eel Valley Crime Stoppers, Eureka Neighborhood Defense, Saving SoHum) have their share of mundane neighborly bulletins (lost pets, litter issues) and examples of successful organizing (found pets, neighborhood cleanups). But by far, the most talked about issues on these forums are crime and homelessness, and their disputable overlap. On Saturday, Oct. 3, aproximately 60 people gathered in front of the Bayshore Mall for an anti-crime rally organized by Operation Safe Streets. Many wore neon Neighborhood Watch vests. (Despite Campbell’s statements, there are several NW chapters that do patrol neighborhoods in safety vests.) They ranged in age from octogenarians to small children hand-in-hand with their parents.

complained of being burglarized, having their cars broken into, dog attacks, being accosted and physically harassed by homeless people while in line at a fast food drive-thru, seeing “transients” fighting on their front lawns, “tweakers,” “scumbags” and “trash.” Breslin said she does not endorse the idea that all criminals are homeless or vice versa, but added her opinion that the sensitivity around the issue of homelessness is interfering with a straightforward discussion of crime. “It feels like every time we discuss crime, it feels like the homeless issue is thrown in there,” she said. “It’s not the same thing. I think a lot of the crime is due to drug addiction. They’re the ones who are probably more inclined to rob.” Bass did not return calls, but both Breslin and EPD Capt. Steve Watson identified him as an Operation Safe Streets administrator. The group’s administrators appear responsive to criticism: A proposed rally sign that originally read “Tweakers Not Welcome” was amended to say “Meth Kills” after an online commenter called it “horrible.” This did not stop others from jumping on the commenter and saying things like, “The time for being nice has passed” and “Fuck

being politically correct it’s fucking ruining our country.” Elsewhere on the page are photos of homeless people sleeping on the porches of local businesses, videos of people allegedly smoking meth in the forest, grainy nighttime videos of an alleged prostitute approaching a parked car (the video ends with her saying, “Oh, you’re a cop?”), and multiple photos of people the administrators refer to as local troublemakers, “punks” and public nuisances, their full names and descriptions of their alleged ill-doings included. “Time to leave town,” says one admin under a photo of a young man. “Local resource zapper,” reads the description of another. We asked the Eureka Police Department if it had provided any of this information to the page’s administrators. Watson said EPD only provides crime information through official channels such as press releases, but surmised administrators might have crowdsourced information from Neighborhood Watch members and others. The page provides no background on adminstrators’ claim that one man’s mental illness was “all an act” or that another had out-of-state warrants. It (like similar pages) provides no verification that any of the informa-

tion is accurate. Hypothetically, anyone wanting to publicly shame another person could post his or her picture on the page and say anything. A frequent contributor to the Operation Safe Streets page and the McKinleyville Community Watch page is EPD Homeless Liaison Pamlyn Millsap. Having worked with the homeless population locally for 30 years, Millsap attempted to add nuance to conversations around the mentally ill. Under a video of a woman screaming, Millsap commented that the woman was on methamphetamines and that a similar client had benefited from a stint in Sempervirens, but that the passing of Proposition 47 had reduced the likelihood of such clients getting treatment. Site administrators also posted several pictures of Cyrus Cook, who attempted suicide at the Humboldt County jail on July 12 by leaping 18 feet from the second story of a dormitory. Cook’s mugshot and details of his “violent tendencies and drug use” are included, as well as a picture of him urinating on a fence. Millsap comments that Cook “had a mental illness and was getting treatment until he turned 18.” A Sept. 23 Continued on next page »

post from an anonymous administrator announced that Cook had been released from the hospital and was back on the streets. “Just in time for Halloween!” the post reads. “Cyrus Cook is back from the dead after his fateful leap from the jail top tier. Yes, he is back to being Cyrus ... albeit at a much slower pace.” EPD Chief Andy Mills said his department was in the process of distributing a social media policy and that he could not comment on the specifics of Millsap’s online behavior, deeming it a personnel matter. Administrators of the Operation Safe Streets page appear to actively discourage participants from violence and often add disclaimers about the limitations of the medium, stating “none of us here claim or are trying to claim journalist status. FB is mostly venting.” A great many of the posts are just that — venting about a town they feel is unsafe and unclean — and articles from elsewhere on the web. But administrators do post information about concealed carry permits, identify locations of homeless camps and rely on the discernment of their readers to sort facts from hyperbole. And, as Balick said, we often do not stop to question what we read online. “In relation to both individuals and groups, social media acts like a psychological extension of the self,” said Balick. “In this sense, it can and does encourage a mob mentality, but this can be put to good or to ill.

“… social media acts like a psychological extension of the self. In this sense, it can and does encourage a mob mentality, but this can be put to good or to ill. Material that appeals to strong emotions — love or hate — are liable to ‘go viral’ and collect a mob behind it.” — Aaron Balick strong emotions — love or hate — are liable to ‘go viral’ and collect a mob behind it.” When asked why members of these groups would be willing to publicly (Facebook comments include the full name of the user) say derogatory things about strangers online, such as calling one woman a “worthless hag,” and “goddamn disgusting rat trash,” Balick said, “Social media reduces the complexity of interpersonal feedback, which makes it easier to say things online than it is in face-to-
face conversation.” Is the “mob mentality” created by social media dangerous? Balick thinks not. “There has been some evidence that individuals who have acted out have given indications of such intentions online,” he said. “However, there is also a lot of mouth online that would never translate into physical harm. The bar is very low for online abuse, whereas the bar to cause actual harm is much higher.” But several homeless advocates have expressed concern that the behavior of these groups might translate into action. Stephen Smith, of Fortuna, contacted the Southern Poverty Law Center about the page that posted the photo of Walters’ corpse in Garberville. Prior to that post, the level of vitriol on the page had been steadily growing, some say in proportion to an extreme set of circumstances. The region fills with people looking for work in the marijuana industry every fall. Many stay, and there is very little housing in the area. The river bar and public parks have become the sites of temporary camps. People sitting in front of stores looking for work or asking for change are a common sight. Community members report being harassed, cleaning up garbage and human waste. And law enforcement in the area is spread thin — Sgt. Jesse Taylor of the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office said his officers respond to numerous calls related to transients. “I do understand the concept of looking out for your community and wanting

to make it better and being upset that the system hasn’t been able to take care of those things,” said Taylor, who agreed that there is a strong culture of self-reliance in Southern Humboldt, making potential vigilantism a source of concern. Taylor said he doesn’t view the online groups as either positive or negative, but said, “It does have the potential for people to act out and let their emotions get the best of them and snap, so to speak.” The Southern Poverty Law Center told Smith that the purely online presence of the No Bums in Sohum group, along with its public settings, would make it difficult to classify as a hate group. But Debra Carey, who works with transients in Southern Humboldt, blames the targeted hatred of the page and another, Garberville Town Patrol, for an assault on a local homeless man. Taylor confirmed that Ron Machado was pepper-sprayed and his camp was burned in February, although a suspect has not been identified. Machado’s picture was frequently posted with comments ranging from the sympathetic to the derogatory. Taylor said he received numerous complaints about Machado, who collected cans and built small structures on public property. Carey had been working with him for years. “Ron had a home, a job, a family, kids,
a wife. He lost that one by one, and he’s now lost his mind,” she said. “We just turn our back because he has mental health issues.” Taylor said he had no information about who was responsible for Machado’s assault, but if he found out it was a local citizen he “wouldn’t be surprised.” Those on the pages who wanted Machado to leave town got their wish: He relocated to Eureka after the assault. The administrator of No Bums In Sohum would not give his real name, saying he had “received a lot of hate and even threats since starting this page.” He is young, 25, and has fond memories of growing up in Garberville, which he described as being “a nice, warm little town.” “I was inspired to start the page by the declining state of the place we call home,” he wrote. “The increase in crime, the trash everywhere, the amount of homeless, the hordes of drug addicts and mentally insane street people, discarded heroin needles on the sidewalks, piles of human and dog feces and puddles of vomit and urine in the streets, and the understaffed and underfunded law enforcement’s apparent inability to do anything about it. Everywhere I’d go everyone I would talk to was on the same page about it so I figured I would make a place
where everyone could put their heads together and hopefully come together and work toward finding solutions.” The administrator cited positive changes that had come about as a result of starting the page, including greater awareness of illegal dumping and the lack of mental health services. On Aug. 11 the name of the site was changed to “Saving Sohum,” with an explanation that the direction of the page was changing. “This is not a hate page and it was never meant to be one, despite how some feel, it was meant to help with an issue,” the post reads. The administrator told us the page was “putting out the wrong message” and he wanted to expand its focus to deeper-rooted issues in the area. But many who had been following the trajectory of the No Bums in Sohum community attribute the change to a backlash that followed the posting five days earlier of that photo of Robert Joseph Walters’s dead body sprawled across the courthouse steps. The post and the 50 plus comments associated with it, have since been removed, but local blogger Kym Kemp sent us a screenshot. She said the photo was a “turning point” in that particular community, illustrating both the benefits and pitfalls of social media’s power. At its best, the Internet informs, unites, gives people support for their frustration. At its worst it vilifies, divides and brings our ugliest inner monologues to the surface. “Up until that moment, people had been swept up in it,” Kemp said, referring to public outrage about transients. “Before that it was a nebulous thing for ‘people who aren’t us.’ I thought the photo told a whole story about how we treat people, disenfranchised people. But posted by the person who posted it had a whole other meaning, like, ‘Look at this disgusting person.’ I think that was a time when people stepped back and said ‘Whoa, that’s a human being.’” Since then the vitriol has “toned way down,” according to Kemp. She said the venting of frustration online serves a purpose, a much needed honesty about Humboldt’s hard truths. “When people let their ugly side out, they finally see that ugly side … they have a chance to expose it to themselves,” she said. “I think it says a lot about our community and our values. We don’t treat everyone right in our community. There was a feeling where it may be OK to call someone a bum and a scumbag to their face, but once they’re dead it’s not OK anymore.” l

Down and Dirty
Seed Saving Made Simple By Heather Jo Flores
downanddirty@northcoastjournal.com
T
his time of the year, the garden might at first glance look messy, unkempt. The plants are starting to dry out, turn brown and die. But look a little deeper and you see an abundance of seeds ready to harvest, and whether you are an old expert at seed stewardship or a new gardener with a budding curiosity, saving seeds from your home garden to grow and share can be one of the most rewarding experiences of the season. This old-world skill is best learned experientially, and within a community of fellow seedpeople. But here are some tips to get you started, even if you only have a small garden.
Selection
Some plants are much easier for beginners. This has less to do with ease of harvest than with whether or not the plant needs a large or isolated population to produce viable seed. For reasons we don’t have space to explore in this article, saving seeds from cucumbers, squash, corn and most plants in the Brassica family (kale, cabbage, broccoli) is best left for experienced farmers who have the space and knowledge to make sure those seeds have been bred in a way that maintains their genetic diversity and integrity. On a home scale, I recommend starting with the easy ones: lettuce, beets, carrots, celery, toma-

Most of the vegetables we eat are just babies when we harvest them for the table. But to save seeds, let the plant mature completely. Heads of lettuce will elongate and shoot up flower stalks covered in tiny, yellow dandelion-like blooms. Onions will send up a pointy bud that will open up into a globular white cluster. Beets, carrots and celery are biennial, so their seeds won’t mature until the second year. Tomatoes and peppers, when harvested for seed, should be much riper than most of us prefer for fresh eating.
Harvest and Processing
There are two distinct types of seed processing: dry and wet.
Dry Processing Make sure the seeds are fully formed and have started to dry. A good test is if they shake easily into your hand. If the seed is still very firmly attached to the plant, it probably hasn’t matured. When you harvest, don’t try to remove the individual seeds in the field. This can cause a lot of waste. Just cut the whole seed-head carefully into a paper sack and move to a sheltered spot where you can clean it. As soon as you harvest, create detailed labels with as much information as you know. Include date of harvest, date of planting, species and variety names, where in the garden it grew best, where you originally got the seed, and why you liked this particular variety enough to save seed from it. Keep these notes with the seeds, and you will always have the information at your fingertips. Most seeds mature within a protective coating called chaff. To process seeds for

storage and replanting later, we must first remove the chaff; otherwise it will rot in storage and cause the seeds to decay. To remove the bulk of the chaff, pour the seed heads onto a clean tarp spread on the ground or a large table. Fold the seeds into the tarp like a burrito, making sure the corners won’t leak. Stomp, smash and dance on the tarp, and then carefully open it back up. Avoid getting a lot of dirt and other contaminants into the seeds. Now you are ready for winnowing. On a large scale, this is best done with fans and screens, but on a small scale you can just do it with a medium-sized round bowl and your mouth. Put the seed into the bowl a little at a time and swirl it around, blowing gently. The chaff, which is lighter, will lift up and blow away, while the seed, heavy with genetic material, will sink. Pick the last few specks of chaff out with your fingers and place the clean seed on a piece of paper in a standard electric food dehydrator on the lowest setting (around 96 degrees) overnight. You could also dry your seed on a dark shelf for at least two weeks, but I prefer the dehydrator so I don’t have to worry about mice, ants and ambient moisture ruining my crop.
Wet Processing If the seed is encased in a juicy fruit, such as tomatoes, use this method to remove the slimy seed coat so that the seeds last longer in storage. This not only gets rid of the slime, it also kills any seedborne diseases and ensures your seed will survive in storage for up to several years. Squish the seeds into a jar. Add a small amount of water, place a piece of cardboard over the top to let air in but keep bugs out, and set the jar aside. Pick a spot that is not in your kitchen, because it will definitely stink! Within a week, a thick skin
of mold will form on top, and the mature seeds will sink to the bottom. Now, fill the container to the top with water and carefully pour off the mold on top. Rinse the seeds a few more times, until the water is clear, then strain them. Now they’re ready for the dehydrator.
Storage
Store seeds in a cool, dry, dark place. I store mine in paper envelopes inside insulated picnic coolers, available for a few dollars at any thrift store. If you save peas or fava beans, watch out for weevils, which are very common. You won’t be able to tell if your seed has the weevil larvae inside, but store them in the freezer and you can be sure they will die. Also freeze seeds from members of the Allium family, such as onions, leeks and chives, which are particularly short lived — they last much longer when frozen. The longevity and viability of your seeds will be largely dependent on storage conditions, so don’t overlook this important step.
Distribution
We can only protect diversity by keeping it alive, and your seeds will perish if stored for more than a few years. Grow and save them again, and share your collection with fellow gardeners. My favorite way to share seeds is through the community seed swap. See my March 19 article about how to organize a seed swap, or attend one of the events organized by the Humboldt Permaculture Guild.

Roasted Chilies A taste of home By Andrea Juarez
tabletalk@northcoastjournal.com
T
his time of year I long to be back in Colorado, where a bushel of freshly roasted chili peppers is an easy score. There, large metal cages packed full of chilies are turned slowly over open flames outside most markets and at several pop-up stands. As the chilies toast, they hiss, crackle and pop, emitting that familiar piquant, pungent smoke. It’s hard not to be nostalgic. Coloradans, like New Mexicans and others from the Southwest, have a thing for green chilies, especially the Hatch chile and Pueblo chile. The two are not a variety but a reference to where they are grown — areas near Hatch, New Mexico, and Pueblo, Colorado, where the dry climate and soaring summer temps make for a tasty chili with a nice kick. At our house, we stocked our freezer with roasted chilies so they could be eaten year-round. Some of my favorite dishes using the prized smoky peppers are chile verde, green chili burgers, bacon and shrimp green chili cheese grits, or the following recipe I’ve tweaked over the years for rajas con crema, roasted chili strips in a cream sauce.
Rajas con crema is a less well-known Mexican dish but one which true Mexican gastronomes know about. It has layers of flavors. It’s sweet, smoky and hot from the roasted chilies, rich from the crema Mexicana and a tad hoppy from the beer. (The beer is my untraditional twist.) Rajas make a nice vegetarian side dish and are scrumptious in tacos or aside grilled meat.
Humboldt Chilies
When I moved to Humboldt County two years ago, I was pleased to find many varieties of fresh hot peppers at the Arcata Farmers’ Market. Dean Gilkerson from Earth-N-Hands is my local chili guy. He knows his stuff and has loads of varieties and tips. The chilies for this recipe can also be found at Mexican tiendas and most major supermarkets. Even though I and others refer to the roasted chilies as “green chili,” there are many varieties that vary in color and taste, especially as they ripen. They can be a pale yellow-green to deep green to orange and red hues, and a mix thereof. Continued on next page »

Sweet, smoky, spicy rajas con crema. Photo by Andrea Juarez
Chilies generally become a little sweeter and hotter if grown in hot weather and if ripened on the plant longer. Most traditional recipes for rajas con crema use only poblano peppers. I prefer the nuanced flavors from the different varieties and find Humboldt-grown poblanos too mild by themselves. Ask your chili vendors about the spice level of their peppers. For this recipe I use a combination of fresh raw chilies with varying spice levels: poblano, which are sometimes referred to as pasilla (mild), Anaheim (mild to medium) and big Jim/Hatch chilies (medium to hot). The recipe calls for a mix of peppers — use more or less of the hotter ones to get the spicy bite you like. My papa, who takes his chilies H-O-T, recommends a few mirasol peppers.
Rajas Con Crema: Roasted Chilies in Cream Sauce Crema can be found at Mexican grocery stores or in some general markets near the sour cream. If necessary, you can substitute crème fraiche or heavy cream. Vegetable, chicken or beef stock or white wine can be swapped in for the beer. If you have never roasted chilies, don’t fret. It’s quite simple and can be done under a broiler or over an open flame on a gas stove top or outside grill. Serves 4 to 6 Ingredients and method: 2 pounds fresh raw chilies (6 poblanos/ pasilla, 2 big Jim/Hatch, 2 Anaheim) 2 tablespoons olive oil or canola oil 1 medium white onion ½ teaspoon salt 3 large cloves garlic, minced 1 cup beer, light or pale lager
26 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Oct. 22, 2015 • northcoastjournal.com
1 cup crema Mexicana 1 cup fresh corn (optional) First, roast the chilies. Heat your broiler on high. Place clean dry peppers on a low rimmed baking sheet and broil for about 8 to 12 minutes using tongs to turn every few minutes after each side has blistered and charred about 70 percent (avoid completely blackening them). Watch the chilies carefully and stay close to the stove. When the peppers are roasted, remove and place them in a gallon size, food-safe plastic bag or in a covered bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes. Peel the skins from all chilies and discard. (If your chilies are spicy, wear rubber gloves to protect your hands and fingers, and be sure to wash them well afterward). Cut each roasted pepper open to remove the stem and core, and scrape away the seeds. Cut the roasted chilies into ¼-inch slices. Slice the onion into ¼-inch half moons. In a large skillet on medium-high heat, heat oil and sauté onion until golden brown and translucent. Add sliced chilies, garlic and salt. Sauté 3 to 5 minutes being careful not to burn the garlic. Add the beer, crema and corn, if desired; stir and reduce heat to a low simmer for 5 minutes. Adjust the seasoning. If your sauce is too thick, thin it with another tablespoon or two of beer (it should coat your spoon like a thin Alfredo or béchamel sauce). Serve hot as a filling for tacos, as a side with beans and rice or with grilled meat. l Andrea Juarez has additional recipes on her food anthropology blog www.ForkFingersChopsticks.com. She prefers the Spanish spelling of “chile” and “chiles.”

Stage Kisses
HSU presents Kiss Me, Kate By Kate Haley
frontrow@northcoastjournal.com
T
he stage is a place for playwrights to explore and express the foibles and fables of the world at large. However, they are just as likely to turn the lens inward and write about the theater itself. Actors become characters who are actors playing characters and the audience is taken down a rabbit hole of intertwining identities. Kiss Me, Kate uses the format of the play-within-a-play to retell William Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew. As the actors make their way up to and through opening night, it becomes increasingly difficult to tell whether life is imitating art or the other way around. Love is sought and sung about from the dressing rooms to the stage, as the characters explore what roles they want to play in their own lives and romances. It’s a classic tale that has remained popular since it premiered on Broadway in 1948, winning the first Tony Award for Best Musical. For the Humboldt State University theater department’s production, the creative team of director Susan Abbey, musical director Elisabeth Harrington and choreographer Sharon Butcher has assembled a talented, passionate and clearly hard-working cast. They’re having a lot of fun up there and it’s awfully fun to watch. For starters, they have the upbeat and familiar music and lyrics by Cole Porter to work with. The show includes
musical theater classics “Too Darn Hot” and “Another Op’nin’, Another Show.” The script includes a hefty serving of comedy, both physical and verbal, and the entire cast really digs into it. As bold (and sometimes bratty) diva Lilli Vanessi, actress Anna Duchi has ample opportunity to display her maturing talents. She has a strong voice and a solid grasp of the comedy in the role. Her solo number “I Hate Men” is a particularly good example and a guaranteed laugh. Gino Bloomberg plays Ms. Vanessi’s former lover and current frustration Fred Graham, giving a slick and confident portrayal. Up-and-coming couple Lois and Bill, played by Tossa Hayward and Christopher Moreno, also exude charm, especially in the second act number “Always True To You In My Fashion.” Moreno displays impressive physicality; he is a funny performer in a way that evokes an earlier era of classic physical comedy. Actors Mickey Thompson and Ivan Gamboa stand out in the roles of the Gunmen — “Brush Up Your Shakespeare” is a witty piece and includes some great choreography and impressive quick changes. The solid cast is further enhanced by the backing of a live orchestra conducted by Paul Cummings. There are, unfortunately, a few moments where the instruments threaten to drown out the vocals but, as a whole, the sound is rich and vibrant. One of the consistent strengths of HSU’s productions is its ability to draw

on the collective work of students in the design process, resulting in a richly detailed world, like the beautifully adorned actors performing in front of impressively painted backdrops in Kiss Me, Kate. The costume design work of Alexander Stearns for the characters of Fred/Petruchio stands out in particular. The set pieces for Fred and Lilli’s dressing rooms are also memorable. The designers have admirably created small spaces that reflect and enhance the characters while effectively using the Van Duzer’s broad stage to realize the larger world of the show. There is only one weekend left to take in this production — make sure you don’t miss it. The remaining performances are Oct. 22 through Oct. 25, with shows Thursday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. in the Van Duzer Theatre at HSU. Tickets are $15 for general admission, $10 for students. Mind you, live theater always includes risk. During the opening night performance, actor Christopher Moreno suffered an injury, impressively embracing a “show must go on” attitude despite a broken foot. For
the remaining performances, the role of Bill Calhoun/Lucentio will be taken on by cast member Jonathan Wisan.
Continuing:
Boeing, Boeing performs its closing weekend at Ferndale Repertory Theatre Oct. 23 through Oct. 25, with performances Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. Tickets are $16 general admission, $14 for students and seniors. For more information, call 786-5483.
Upcoming:
Going to St. Ives by Lee Blessing opens at Redwood Curtain Theatre on Oct. 29, continuing through Nov. 21. This passionate drama explores the ways in which the personal is political through the interactions of two women: a doctor and the mother of a dictator. There are performances Thursday through Saturday at 8 p.m. with an additional Sunday matinee Nov. 15 at 2 p.m. For more information, call 443-7688. l

Night Riders
Bike Party Humboldt lights it up By Josephine Johnson getout@northcoastjournal.com

R
emember when you were 10, riding by yourself to the corner store for the first time? How about when you and your Saturday crew would go soaring down dirt roads, chasing around cemeteries and barns? Or that 2 a.m. sneak-out to meet up with eighth grade band pals? It was your bike — those two glorious wheels of spinning freedom and autonomy — that carried you near and far, rolling you from one adventure to the next. Your bike delivered, kept you electrified, alive and flying. That feeling, giddy-fun and full-of-life under cover of night, is what Bike Party Humboldt wants to get at in its monthly Bike Gang rides. And you don’t have to sneak out to get it. If you ride a bike and want a creative, relaxed opportunity to mingle with other night riders, then this ride is your thing. Seasoned riders, daily commuters, weekend coasters — all are welcome. Ride organizer Gaela Mitchell is all about making opportunities for adults to have fun on their bikes. Two years ago, she and her husband moved from Sacramento where they rode every day and often at
night. Riding at night, especially around the Davis campus, was safe, accessible and genuinely enjoyable. Mitchell wanted to foster a bit of that enjoyment in their new community. “In some ways, I wanted to celebrate what I think is the best part of Burning Man: riding bikes everywhere, with lights and costumes, with people having fun,” says Mitchell. Bike Gang isn’t a Critical Mass ride — Bike Party Humboldt isn’t trying to make a point by taking over two lanes and shutting down traffic. Instead, it’s more about uniting riders, respecting motorists and enjoying creativity and personal expression — LED lights, horns, bells, costumes and Bluetooth speakers are just the beginning. After 7 p.m. on a clear Friday, riders begin arriving at Dead Reckoning Tavern. With rainbow-shifting LEDs and laser disco lights, the first bikes are impressive. Riders enter, order their brews and complete nametags. One woman points her index finger high, smiling, and declares she’s used six strands of lights on her bike. More riders, more glimmering two-wheels. Another rider talks of group night-rides in Austin, Texas.
With her trusty mount Rusty Thunder, self-described casual cyclist Amy Jester is particularly drawn to the ride. She’s more interested in a rolling good time than going fast and far. Most people on the ride don’t know each other, and that has also lured Jester to the ride. She muses, “Bikes take me places I wouldn’t ordinarily go, and doing that in a costume light parade with random strangers is a super fun way to get to know people.” Jester sports tan pants, suspenders, and a finely coifed moustache — her old-timey, bike gang alter ego is in full force. At 8:15 p.m. with 15 riders total, our gang makes ready to roll. Mitchell calls everyone together to review the route and rules of the ride: “Remember, to the right, stop at lights, ride straight, don’t hate, pack your trash and don’t get smashed — by traffic, alcohol or otherwise.” She smiles. We nod. And it’s time. Tonight we ride! Ride leader Mark Mueller takes us from Dead Reckoning to the Arcata Plaza. Oh, great wheels of light and sound! We are a magical, rolling cacophony of rainbows, bike bells, horns, whistles and James Brown
funk. So magical, in fact, we ride the plaza twice, onlookers waving and smiling encouraging a third. We’re mesmerizing in our shimmery funk-tastic-ness. Up the hill for a quick stop at Wildberries for snacks, a few more riders, a couple selfies. Then we roll to Janes Creek Playground where we park our bikes and play like we’re 12, twisting and turning on what just might be Humboldt’s coolest kinetic jungle gym. The funk’s still pumping and many are keeping a good beat. A little before 10 p.m. we ride back through Arcata and out to South G Street and Redwood Curtain Brewery. Under a near-full moon we are laughing and riding. Jester says it best, “Riding your bike at night is like flying, and tonight we’re soaring, soaring through this community.” Are you ready for that? Bike Party Humboldt’s next Bike Gang ride is at 7 p.m. on Oct. 23 in Eureka. It begins at the Old Town Gazebo and rolls on from there. It’s a Halloween-themed ride, so dress the part. Check the Humboldt Bike Party Facebook page for updates and to get in touch. l

Grab That Cash with Both Hands
Music in the time of Kickstarter By Andy Powell

A
week or so ago I sat down with a new friend I recently met through playing music. He wanted to get together and chat about music, the Beatles, and more music. I happily obliged. He’s a musician himself, a producer and attorney by day. One of the first questions he asked me was, “How do independent musicians make any money?” I was terrified this was going to be a short lunch. Although flattered to have been viewed as someone that might know the answer, I sadly delivered him the news that he already knew. “We don’t,” I replied, knowing our entrees were already being prepared. “Bands up here scramble for a few bucks at shows, and then quite often sink that money into a recording that won’t sell or go anywhere.” Hoping to pull the mood up a bit. I mentioned that there are, of course, plenty of worse hobbies to have. Money aside, at the end of the day, it’s a wonderful pursuit. You get to share your music with friends and strangers. You get to record your works of art much like all your heroes did. You may go into the red doing it all, but there’s a reason we keep doing it. Some folks fix up old cars, others put boats in their yards. We vibrate the air, and we spend a lot of time and money doing it. It’s almost magical and we won’t stop anytime soon. Our entrees came out and the discussion turned to Kickstarter. It’s a tool bands use to fund their recordings,
or tours or whatever. Fans can donate money in advance to help a band finance whatever it’s doing. The fan can get something in return depending how much they kick in; a private concert, the finished album or just a nice feeling knowing they’re supporting a broke ass band. I personally can’t stand the idea of using Kickstarter. It reeks too much of begging and there’s enough humiliating things bands have to go through without panhandling being added to the list. Want to ask your fans for money? Cool. It’s called a cover charge. That’s why people pay (hopefully) to hear your band perform. If your band is willing to work hard to save up money to record, that means your band is probably hungry to record. It may take a while, but that album will be worth it. If your band’s looking for the quick and easy way to make the money, maybe the hunger isn’t really there, and maybe that’s not an album that really needs to be made. With that said, I am glad Kickstarter exists. If I think of it as an advance coming from the fans as opposed to a record label, it strikes me as far less odious. So how do bands make money? I’m convinced they don’t. But if you’re lucky enough, someone who likes your music might just pay for your lunch one day.
Friday
There seems to be a lot of Grateful Dead connections with many of
34 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Oct. 22, 2015 • northcoastjournal.com
the bands playing this weekend. Hot Buttered Rum returns to Humboldt County, and for a good bluegrassy-jamtime catch ‘em at Humboldt Brews at 9:30 p.m. These fellas got to jam with Phil Lesh in the past so there’s your Dead connection. $15 to dance it up with HBR. Not sure if there’s a literal connection to a member of the Dead, but the connection with the music is sure there with Miracle Show. They’ll be playing Dead tunes for you at the Blue Lake Casino at 9 p.m. and they won’t even ask for your money.
Saturday
Humboldt Brews keeps the seasoned working bands coming through town. Tonight, Moonalice will bring their legends and Bay Area sound to your ears. Expect some psychedelic-roots-rock, which shouldn’t be surprising as these fellows have individually played with members of the Dead, Jimi Hendrix, John Fogerty and John Lee Hooker. $15 and a 9 p.m. show here. A little earlier, and just across town, there’s a benefit for the Bayside Grange Kitchen Fund. Kenny Ray & the Mighty Rovers are helping to raise money for a nice new stainless steel kitchen upgrade for the Grange. Show up at 7:30 p.m. to help out. I’m not sure what they’re asking for a cover, but I’m sure they’ll be happy with whatever you can kick in. Still getting amped up for Halloween? One of the few reasons for adults
to justify dressing up on a kid’s holiday is to win money. If you’re in it to win it, your costume could win you cash prizes along with some Mateel and KMUD swag at the Halloween Boogie at the Mateel Community Center at 8:30 p.m. $30 at the door will get you in and you’ll hear hip-hop and electronica from Goddess Alchemy Project, the “afro-galactic” sounds of The Dogon Lights, and funky tribal music from To Life! No costume needed, and all proceeds benefit nonprofits KMUD and the Mateel.
Tuesday
You might be more hip to this guy than I am, but I’m told a certain indie-rocker Mac DeMarco will be at HSU’s West Gym tonight at 10 p.m. So students, get all your studying and rote memorization in early so you can catch this musical alum of the Conan O’Brien and Eric Andre shows. $20 for students, an extra 5 bills for everyone else. l Full show listings in the Journal’s Music and More grid, the Calendar and online. Bands and promoters, send your gig info, preferably with a high-res photo or two, to music@northcoastjournal. com. Andy Powell is a congenital music lover and hosts The Night Show on KWPT 100.3 FM weeknights at 6 p.m. He doesn’t feel bad for not mentioning your show that you never told him about.

Step Right Up
They’re baaack … After taking last year off, the creative minds behind the Kinetic Lab of Horrors are ready to serve up some serious scares, shrieks and shivers at the Kinetic Sculpture Lab, Eighth and N streets in Arcata, starting Wednesday, Oct. 28 and running nightly through Oct. 31 from 7 p.m. to midnight ($12). The brains behind the brains have built a spooktacular house of horrors crawling with special effects and mechanical, kinetic creations. If the lines are long, don’t worry. Not only are the 15-or-so minutes of terror worth it once you get inside, spooky rockers the Dead Drops keep you entertained while you wait. Ages 13 years and older suggested. Grave Matters and Untimely Departures, one of Humboldt’s most fascinating and frightening tours, brings to life tales of local residents and their unfortunate demises this Sunday, Oct. 25 from 2 to 6 p.m. at the Sunrise Cemetery in Fortuna ($15). This history/theater hybrid features actors and storytellers in full period costume recounting stories of those who died by their own hands, at the hand of another or in some ghastly manner. Tours leave every 10 minutes and a shuttle scoots you to the cemetery from the parking area in Newburg Park. — Kali Cozyris
Celebrate the abundance of good living in the quaint town of Blue Lake this weekend at the annual Blue Lake Harvest Days. There you’ll find a cornucopia of music, dancing, food, drinks, crafts, decorations and more. On Saturday, Oct. 24, grown-ups can knock back a few at the All Day Hoppy Hour at Mad River Brewery. Stop in from 6 to 8:30 p.m. to catch live music from Home Cookin’ featuring locals Joyce Hough, Gary Davidson, Tim Gray and Fred Neighbor (free entrance). Later, stroll over to Dell’Arte International’s Carlo Theatre at 7:30 p.m. for the Harvest Days Barndance, where you and your partner can swing to the Striped Pig Stringband and caller Lyndsey Battle ($5). Afterward, head across the street to the Logger Bar to enjoy a cocktail or two and listen to The Undercovers at 9 p.m. (free, 21 and up). Sunday’s Great Pumpkin Event at the Mad River Grange is packed with fun from noon to 4 p.m. (free). Bring your own pumpkin and see how it measures up in the homegrown pumpkin contest, take part in an old-fashioned cake walk, play harvest-themed games, check out the arts and crafts booths, enjoy live music and more. — Kali Cozyris
“By the pricking of my thumbs/ Something wicked this way comes.” Ladies and gentlemen, prepare yourself for the gravest show on earth when a haunted circus rolls into town. Big Top thrills and carnival chills take center ring at the historic Eureka Inn for Cirque de Soulless, the Rotary Club of Southwest Eureka’s fiendishly fun fundraiser, Saturday, Oct. 24 from 7 to 11 p.m. ($60). In the vein of Bradbury’s Dark Carnival, the evening promises a cavalcade of eerie entertainers that include a contortionist dancer “whose preternatural flexibility will amaze and scandalize,” a mermaid singing her siren song, a ghostly pianist, jugglers, hula hoopists, a cartoonist, a balloonist and evil, evil clowns. And for a divining good time, a palm reader and tarot card reader will circulate among the guests. Is that guy in the corner giving you … his eye? Settle your nerves a bit with food and drink from the circus buffet and no-host bar serving specialty cocktails, beer and wine. When it’s time to further unwind, DJ Goldilocks spins beastly beats for those who want to kick up their heels. Proceeds benefit Humboldt Senior Resource Center’s Home-Delivered Meals Program. So dress for the occasion (you want to blend, right?), frolic with the freaks and mingle with the macabre for a worthy cause. — Kali Cozyris

Bridge of Spies and Crimson Peak By David Jervis
filmland@northcoastjournal.com
Reviews
BRIDGE OF SPIES. In 1957, accused spy Rudolf Abel scores insurance attorney James Donovan (Tom Hanks), a veteran of the U.S. legal team at the Nuremburg trials as his defense. While their pairing sends a global message that everyone is entitled to the best defense, it’s clear that everyone from the judge to the intelligence community has a guilty verdict in mind. But the trial serves mainly as a foundation for the attorney-client story between Donovan and Abel (a dryly excellent Mark Rylance), a jumping-off point for director Steven Spielberg to weave an outstanding tale of Cold Warera machinations. The rest of the film, which builds smartly on a script co-written by Joel and Ethan Coen (!), involves negotiating a trade for Abel’s return to the Soviets in exchange for U.S. pilot Francis Gary Powers, shot down over the U.S.S.R. in May 1960. All this is to be spearheaded by Donovan during a snowy, menacing Berlin winter that will be familiar to any fan of John le Carre, and still grippingly entertaining to those who are not. This is a surreal, true-to-history world, after all, involving trades of prisoners on Glienicke Bridge and coins as vessels for smuggling tiny documents and poisons. Two historical concepts in Bridge of Spies appear somewhat novel in the long view of history. First, the film is set in an era in which the specter of nuclear annihilation was not an abstract idea, but something weighing upon Americans daily and rattling children nearly out of their wits. Second, Donovan’s defense and counsel of Abel, at trial and in the negotiations that follow, speaks to the better angels of America’s nature — the idea that the Constitution protects even foreign nationals accused of spying within the U.S., from their trial to their access to appeal and their rights even after sentencing. Much as with Spielberg’s unfairly under-seen Munich, events of the past are played out to resonate in the now. Parallels to the politics of Guantanamo would be hard to miss, but aren’t written with a sledgehammer. They emerge instead within a crackling, darkly funny story. PG-13. 143M. BROADWAY, MILL CREEK.
CRIMSON PEAK. Guillermo del Toro is a man with a particular vision of the world. Strike that — a man who builds new worlds as he imagines them from the ground up, with primordial stews gurgling and hissing up from the depths and bizarre machines of non-Euclidian design wheezing and groaning ominously. In such unsettling dazzlers as Hellboy and Pan’s Labyrinth, the mad-scientist touches that get people hyperventilating at Comic-Con also come with a love of mythic storytelling. We find ourselves in Buffalo, New York, in 1901 — forget what you think of that frosty rust belt burg, because for these purposes it’s dead center for the most gothic of tales. Edith (Mia Wasikowska) is a writer in her 20s living with her wealthy builder father (Jim Beaver). This exposition all comes after some rather disturbing flashbacks to Edith’s childhood, and with some skullduggery that will ultimately leave her bound for England to wed Sir Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston). Hiddleston exudes a great ominous gleam in this role. Thomas and Edith settle into his spooky family manse of Allerdale Hall, a decaying wonder that is the real star of the film, along with the third-wheel company of Thomas’s wickedly weird sister Lucille (Jessica Chastain). While del Toro provides ants devouring butterflies, terrifying apparitions lounging in bathtubs, blood-red clay flowing from the floor and walls, and Edwardian muttonchops aplenty, there’s a problem in tackling a genre tale like this. Gothic drama predates and even transcends film, and its conventions don’t leave much room for characters to break out, even with all the dramatic, visceral action in the third act. As always, it’s a breathtaking visual wonder in all the best and darkest ways. And it all just made me wish again that del Toro could raise the cash to make his thwarted adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft’s At The Mountains of Madness. R. 119M.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand 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 owner− ship of the property. 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 respon− sible 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 information. 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 post− poned one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call the trustee’s information line at 530−246−2727 or visit this Internet Web site: calforeclosures.biz, using the file number assigned to this case: TS # 15−2175. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Date: 9/28/15 Foreclosure Specialists LLC 1388 Court Street, Ste C Redding, CA 96001 530−246−2727, Toll Free:

Right, wrong and just plain dumb By Barry Evans
Continued on next page »
Planned Parenthood of Northern California
Space artist Michael Carroll’s based-on-fact vision of a future Martian settlement.
he Martian, playing in 3D at a theater near you, is Ridley Scott’s attempt to show how a castaway on Mars (Matt Damon) could “science the shit” out of his predicament and survive long enough for a rescue mission to reach him. Scott is the man for the job, having previously directed such fabulous futuristic yarns as Blade Runner and Alien. His vision of Mars (actually, Wadi Rum in south Jordan) is quite believable. Almost. It’s a movie, so something has to give. Director’s license allowed for several obvious boners (minimal spoilers ahead): Mars atmosphere being 1 percent as dense as Earth’s, a fierce windstorm would have very little practical effect, other than raising a lot of dust. Martian surface gravity is 38 percent that of Earth, so astronauts would probably be shuffling and hopping, rather than just walking. Mars receives only 50 percent of the sunlight we do, so the landscape would appear much gloomier to our eyes. Damon’s character plausibly obtains water from hydrazine rocket fuel brought to Mars from Earth, but he’d have found it a lot easier to bake water out of the ground beneath his feet. (Two years ago, NASA’s Curiosity rover found 2 percent water by weight in Martian soil — equivalent to a quart per cubic foot of dirt.) On the plus side: The marooned astronaut probably could grow potatoes in feces-enhanced Martian soil (although it’s unlikely the crew would have brought actual spuds, let alone ones that sprouted). Powering up the old Pathfinder/Sojourner hardware for communication is pretty cool. The huge mothership, with a rotating wheel for artificial gravity, is the sort of craft that might one day shuttle end-
lessly between Earth and Mars. (In the 2035 timeline of the movie, though, that would be like Columbus waiting for the QE2 to be built before sailing to the New World.) Saving the worst for last: Oddly, for a NASA-endorsed movie, the agency’s director (played by Jeff Daniels) is caricatured as a know-nothing buffoon. First, he orders a communications embargo on telling the returning crew they’d inadvertently left one of their number alive on Mars, even though everyone on Earth knows. (Right now, the ISS crew has access to direct email communication with anyone they choose.) But mainly, in a Just Plain Dumb plot device, this director guy is utterly ignorant of orbital mechanics. “Would it work?” he asks, “it” being the notion of looping the homeward-bound craft around Earth, whirling it back to Mars on a rescue mission. True, in 1962, when UCLA math graduate Michael Minovitch, working as a summer intern at JPL, proposed the notion of “gravity assist” (swinging a spacecraft close by a planet in order to change its course and accelerate it), it was greeted with skepticism. But that was then, and NASA has been successfully using gravity assist since 1973: it’s a proven, well-known technique. For the director of NASA to ask if it would work would be like a brain surgeon asking an assistant where the corpus callosum was. For that matter, there is no director of NASA — it has an administrator, ex-astronaut Charles Bolden. Bet he knows all about gravity assist. I know, I know, it’s a movie. I should let it go. OK, deep breath. Overall it’s a great romp. Three stars. l Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo. com) believes that one-way Mars missions are the way to go (life being a one-way journey anyway).
