Props and a Number Editor: I wish to give props to John Hardin for his entertaining and thorough cover story regarding the Garberville Veterans Hall (“Closed,” Oct. 20). I learned a lot I did not know about the history of our major local meeting place. One story he did not include was what we of the senior fitness exercise class did for years before the roof was last sealed.

That huge stockpot only recently got the bunghole and tubing out the window, making it brisk in the wintertime, BTW. Before that, a large pot sat there for years filling up with water with every rain.

Sometimes it even overflowed and left water sitting on that quality oak flooring the vets had installed. We came in on Mondays and Thursdays and, at the close of exercise class, always checked the water level in the pot. If we believed it was likely to overflow before our next class, we climbed up on a chair and used a smaller bucket to bail water, walking it to the sink in the restroom. It was an unusual feat to tackle for a group of women over 65.

I also want to inform you and the community at large that, in addition to the Civic Club (50 max capacity), there is the Healy Senior Center (78 max capacity) on Briceland Road in Redway that is available for rent at reasonable rates for classes, weddings, parties, music events, dinners, club meetings, etc. The center cannot make up for the open space of the veterans hall, but it is an alternative with a parking lot and good street parking. Call 923-2399 to reserve a date.

Vote Allison!

Editor: With the current situation at local nursing homes in Eureka becoming a polarization of issues all over this country

(“The Case of the Missing $5 Million,” Oct. 13), we need to focus our funds on what’s important: the People.

Too much money is being spent on selling one’s self, a reward for a vandalized sign of $1,000?! Why is it acceptable to offer a reward for childish pranks but not one for the majorly impacting closure of local skilled nursing facilities? I know what’s more important to my candidates here in Eureka. While Austin Allison was out trying to bring attention to a huge crisis in our community, John Fullerton was putting out an APB for yard signs in which he may or may not involve the police.

To have the wherewithal to stand up for the old and less fortunate at 25 and not 63, speaks volumes. If Austin Allison is standing up for our senior citizens when he is far from retirement and John Fullerton is out getting local celebs to do radio advertisements for him, I can deduce whose priorities are in order.

Tiva Insolo, Eureka Editor: The Times-Standard supports John Fullerton; this is not surprising, the T-S is a corporation. Austin Allison supports the people and they support him; Austin is supported by unions and teachers, entrepreneurs and nurses, the “middle class.” He supports a union that helped bring living wages to employees at St Joseph and he is not afraid to tackle large moneyed interests! He has the creativity to help Eureka lift its people off the bottom.

Austin Allison is a progressive that will break out of the old boy network and join Bernie as he gets the down ballot Democratic votes to be chair of the Budget Committee! Forward, Progressives!

Measure F!

Measure V! Editor: I noted with interest Ryan Sundberg’s comments opposing Measure V because he thinks it wouldn’t be fair to the new owners of a mobile home park if they couldn’t impose unlimited rent increases. Sundberg chose to represent the 42 park owners instead of 1,500 families in Humboldt. It is especially interesting that his example is of a park owner that doesn’t even live in Humboldt.

Frequently I hear that park residents should have done their due diligence before purchasing a manufactured home.

May I suggest that the multi-million-dollar park owners outside of Humboldt should have done their due diligence? Did they not know that poor people can only give so much before their only recourse is to stand up and say, “Enough!”

Or perhaps they didn’t know that Humboldt people still have empathy and care what happens to others. This is why I love Humboldt.

Patti Rose, McKinleyville Editor: Measure V on the November ballot is important not just as a sensible consideration, but also as a moral issue. It seeks to limit the amount of increase in rents for mobile home spaces. There comes a point, even in capitalism, where a distinction must be made between profit and excess. In a time where excess is frequently extolled as the epitome of success, it is imperative to remember that excess is what is destroying our society (viz; CEO pay packages of $30 million a year).

Local owners have come before the BOS and city councils and noted that they have, for years, limited their rental increases to something around 3 to 5 percent a year, whereas corporations frequently increase rents 15 percent or more. The fact that corporations are buying mobile home

parks, even in areas with rent stabilization measures in place, indicates that they know there is ample profit to be made.

Larry Hourany, McKinleyville

Measure P! Editor: Politicians claiming Eureka’s citywide elections provided, “a more responsive city council” are delusional.

Ignored for decades, residents suffered sewage contaminated homes, businesses, greenbelts and Humboldt Bay during crab season, resulting in fines from the California Water Board. Citizens’ demands to repurpose blighted properties are disregarded, leaving our neighborhoods with increasing arson and vandalism that repels tourists, businesses and residents. Eureka’s response to record-fatalities of pedestrians, cyclists and motorists is a campaign to “be more careful.”

“There’s no money” to effectively address public health, destitute families, safe streets, affordable housing and emergency services because the development industry bankrolls costly citywide elections, winning representatives who refuse to advocate for or enact sufficient regulations, fees, fines and ordinances for all construction long before the impacts become intractable.

Until we have publicly financed elections, Measure P will give every Eureka adult a fair shot at a council seat and begin placing the common good above industry greed.

George Clark, Eureka Editor: Vote no on Eureka’s Measure P. This is the ballot measure proposing to take away your right to vote on all of the city council members in future elections. Three of the five current city council members voted to put this measure on the ballot under the guise of the possibility of a lawsuit for disenfranchising minority voters. Don’t

Terry Torgerson

buy that. We are too small a city to divide and vote for only one council member.

We are a small city, not like the ones in the Bay Area or Southern California where these lawsuits are occurring. We currently have the best of both worlds, where a candidate needs to live in a ward to run for that seat but the entire voting population of Eureka gets to elect them. This way, the good of the entire city — like economic development, general planning, and budgetary matters — is taken into account. No on P. Mike Newman, Eureka

No on 51, 55!

Editor: Just about every time I open my voters information pamphlet the schools are asking for more money. This time it’s propositions 51 and 55. Fifty-one is for construction and modernization of schools. I seem to recall we passed one for that purpose not too long ago. What do they want it for, chandeliers in the restrooms? As for 55, a “temporary” measure (we know how

that goes) for a smorgasbord of needs, again which includes money for schools.

But no doubt they will pass because, as we know, it’s ... “for the children.” And if for some unexplained reason they both fail, don’t worry: They’ll be back next time.

Richard C. Brown, Eureka

No on Q! (Yes on R) Editor: Efficiency and effectiveness of operations are not enhanced by merging multifaceted departments into one and then adding a figurehead to oversee those operations.

Employees of the Auditor-Controller and Treasurer-Tax Collector departments provide critical checks and balances between the two departments to prevent fraud. If these departments are merged, then that fraud prevention firewall will be removed so new transaction auditing procedures will need to be developed.

The bottom line is this proposed merger would create another layer of manageContinued on next page »

ment at the top of the food chain versus adding staff where the rubber meets the road. Is that efficient? I think not. And … per the public record, no cost savings are projected to be achieved by combining these two departments. So why do it?

Therefore, as your sitting treasurer-tax collector, I recommend everyone vote NO on Q. (But yes on R so autonomy is maintained.)

John Bartholomew, Blue Lake

Amendment Needed Editor: It’s old news that this presidential race is about preventing whichever front-runner from getting elected. However, voters lack direct power to do so: impeachment isn’t preemptive and court trials are slow.

Scandal will probably derail Trump and Clinton will mildly prevail. But what’s next?

Our system no longer serves us. Votes are only “positive” (for someone) or

“neutral” (abstaining), without provision for a “negative” vote against any candidate — an inherent imbalance. Abstaining or voting one’s preference won’t directly keep somebody else from taking office.

Therefore, notwithstanding my extensive lack of expertise, I propose a Constitutional Amendment: The Negative Ballot Act — Direct Voting Against Political Candidates, which would revise the rules to reflect deteriorating standards of contemporary discourse and conduct and establish

the right to vote directly against an opposed contender for public office, similar to voting against propositions. So why not?

It preserves the existing right to vote for a preferred candidate for that office.

Amen?

Scott Grusin, Eureka

Bye Bye, Bird Count

Thanksgiving tradition ending with longtime organizer John Hewston stepping down

By Kimberly Wear kim@northcoastjournal.com

782 Redwood Dr., Garberville, CA 95542 (707) 923-2613

8 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Oct. 27, 2016 • northcoastjournal.com

etired Humboldt State University professor John Hewston heard the birding call early in life.

Raised in rural corners of Washington state, a young Hewston was more likely to be looking for birds under bushes than tending a fishing line like his fellow elementary school students. He did the same walking home from school, writing down descriptions of what he saw.

By junior high, Hewston had started his first birding newsletter — something the now 93-year-old still does today.

“In those days that wasn’t anything anyone did but little old ladies in tennis shoes,” he says.

Back then, Hewston says, he was known as the “kooky Hewston kid” for his birding pursuits but his friends, classmates, teachers and family also embraced his passion for all things avian.

When he convinced the kids in his neighborhood to vote for a community bird while he was in high school, the winner was his personal favorite: the Western meadow lark.

It turned out to be a slightly rigged election.

“I found out later they kind of questioned each other, ‘What does Johnny like?’ and that was my influence. I didn’t mean it to be,” he says, smiling at the memory as he sat in the living room of his Arcata home amid bookshelves lined with bird books.

Decades later — after a career in natural resource management took him from a public relations role with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to the classroom dais at HSU — birding continues to play a central role in his life, having taken him to the far corners of the world in search of the next sighting.

He’s also spent the last 25 years coor-

dinating the Thanksgiving Bird Count for 12 western states, including Alaska, and compiling the results of observations from hundreds of participants.

Last year, he received some 345 responses with 131 species reported, which he compiled into a report sent out to contributing birders.

Now, Hewston says, it’s time for him to hang up his bird count binoculars — metaphorically at least — and with nobody stepping in to take over, this is slated to be the last round of the 50-year holiday tradition.

“It’s just time to do,” he says. “Of course, I’m 93 years old.”

The count was started by professor Ernest Edward of Sweet Briar College in Virginia in 1966 — the same year Hewston arrived at HSU. He took over the tallying mantel in 1992.

One advantage of the Thanksgiving Bird County is its simplicity: Participants choose a 15-foot diameter-circle — often a portion of their yard that’s visible from a window — and spend one hour counting the birds they see.

“It’s one count that you can do no matter what the weather is like, and it just takes an hour,” Hewston says.

Hewston watches his circle — a terraced portion of his backyard that’s dotted with bird feeders of all shapes and sizes — from his kitchen window.

Over the years, he estimates he’s seen at least 120 species on the wooded lot where his house sits perched on a hill.

Counts like this one have provided scientists with valuable data on bird populations over the years, according to Cindy Moyer, chair of the HSU Music Department and a member of the Redwood Region Audubon Society.

“They are a good way of collecting

Zachary Zwerdling is pleased to announce the formation of The Zwerdling Law Firm. His son, Nate Zwerdling, will begin working at the firm in December. In his 40-year career, Zachary Zwerdling has represented over a thousand injury victims, tried numerous cases and obtained major verdicts that have earned national recognition.

John Hewston inspects a hummingbird feeder in his side yard as the tiny birds were busy feeding on a rainy afternoon. Photo by Mark Larson data over a long period, so you can see changes over a long period of the time, the granddaddy of them all being the Audubon Christmas Bird Count,” she says.

Part of a growing “citizen science” effort, the Audubon Society’s Christmas Bird Count has been collecting sightings for more than a century.

One of the largest repositories of such crowd-sourced information can be found on the Cornell Lab of Ornithology website, which notes it receives “tens of thousands of bird observations” every day via its citizen science projects.

Those include eBird — which allows birders to track their own lists and share observations — and the Great Backyard Bird Count, both partnerships with the National Audubon Society.

“They trace bird migration and document long-term changes in bird numbers continentwide,” the lab states on its website. “The results have been used to create management guidelines for birds, investigate the effects of acid rain and climate change, and advocate for the protection of declining species.”

While time may have slowed Hewston’s gait a bit, he still counts birds from his kitchen window every day, a routine that can be traced back to his childhood adventures crawling through the brush.

“I didn’t take up drinking or smoking or anything like that,” Hewston says. “I took up looking for birds.”

He has lists of birds from his backyard, birds he’s seen in the county and birds he observed at different buildings on the HSU campus.

More recently, he set up a trail camera in his backyard and was pleased to find it captured a shot of “Fred,” the neighborhood bear.

Following his “retirement” from the Humboldt State faculty after 21 years, Hewston continued teaching his Bird Awareness class through the university’s extension program and for a time with Elderhostel.

Another Elderhostel teacher and fellow birder Gary Bloomfield says Hewston had an intrinsic way of connecting with his students and sharing his passion for the natural world.

Hewston was able to transfer what Bloomfield termed his “ornithusim” during the classes — which he taught for four decades.

“He was welcoming. Encouraging at the beginning level as well as keeping the interest of more experienced birders,” says Bloomfield, adding that he incorporated Hewston’s teaching style into his own classes.

Bloomfield’s wife, Jane Epperson, grew up with Jill Hewston, one of his three daughters. She recalls how Hewston would take them out birding at the Arcata Marsh back when the now restored area was referred to as “Mt. Trashmore.” Epperson says she remembers sort of rolling her eyes at the offer, but went along with the trip.

That’s when Hewston showed her something that changed her mind: a blue heron viewed through a scope.

“I had never seen anything so beautiful so close up,” she says. ”It just amazed me and so it’s no wonder I ended up marrying a birder.”

While the Thanksgiving Bird Count may be drawing to a close, Hewston notes there are still plenty of ways for the growing world of bird lovers to be part of similar efforts.

“It’s a cool thing to do now,” he says, “which it didn’t used to be.” ●

T

here is something weird about this election: the almost total absence of campaign signs and bumper stickers, at least in Arcata, where I live. On my ballot are important races for the presidency, U.S. Senate, Congress, state assembly and city council. There are 17 state propositions that affect important issues such as school funding, the death penalty and marijuana.

But the only signs I’ve seen, and few at that, are for city council candidates. Now why is that? In past election years, a forest of signs covered lawns throughout town.

And that seems to still be the case in some other parts of the county, state and country. A friend sent me a snap of her mom’s neighborhood in Texas, where signs seem to fight for space on one lawn. I have a few theories why that’s not so here.

Pay to say: At the North Country Fair, I asked the folks at the Hillary booth for a bumper sticker and they charged me for it. Early on in the campaigns, you expect candidates and their proxies to want — and need — to raise money. But in the last lap they should push the promos out and stick signs everywhere it is legal to put them. I offer valuable bumper space on car and I have to pay for that?

Or maybe people, like me, found that if you fess up to supporting one candidate, you find yourself hounded by emails asking for money from your candidate, the political party she’s a part of and just about every darn candidate in a contested race across the state and country. This also is true for environmental and human rights organizations I support. Once you give anyone money, they won’t leave you alone. It almost seems as if they function first to raise money and second to disseminate information. It gets so bad that you want to file a restraining order against them.

Fear of the pay back: Maybe it isn’t the spam people fear, but the spit. There are still people I see out in the community who think I’m backing Jill Stein. I don’t have the guts to tell them that Hillary had

Signs fight for space on a lawn in Georgetown, Texas. Photo by Melanie Moss me back in 1992 when she said she don’t bake no goddamn cookies. I don’t like confrontation. There is so much animosity going around that I think people are afraid to put their political preference on their car or lawn. They might take the slap back comments on Facebook and Twitter, but it is harder to get egg off your wall or scratch marks off your car.

Internet shaming: It is one thing to get one neighbor annoyed; it’s another to anger a thousand e-neighbors. The Internet connects us to the world but it can also make us victims of massive shaming campaigns. How easy is it for someone to snap a photo of your lawn and post it on Facebook to be reposted and reposted?

Suddenly, your Twitter feed is flooded with posts so angry that you can’t believe people can say such stuff in 140 characters.

Who isn’t afraid of that?

The forever effect: I think people finally realize that what goes on the web stays on the web. I just received an email from a news source from a long time ago. He was going through his garage and found an article I wrote about him back in 1994. He scanned it and sent it to me. Not much of my old stuff is up there and I didn’t save a lot of it. Now, if the Times-Standard posts a photo of you or your kid at some community event, it is up there forever. Every comment someone makes to the press is a permanent quote that can be found by anyone, anywhere, forever.

Journalism hasn’t really grappled with this always-and-everywhere effect on our willingness to talk.

Hack Attacks: If there is one issue that could stop a Hillary presidency, it is her emails. I’ve been thinking that Hillary Clinton has been subject to a dangerous double-standard. The Bush Administration destroyed some 22 million emails in violation of the Presidential Records Act of 1978, for instance, and few people even remember. Poke through anyone’s emails and you are going to find stuff that sounds bad when broadcast to a wide audience.

This is the first election where we

are seeing the power of Wikileaks and Wikileaks-like hacks. Maybe so many of us are keeping publicly silent because we fear becoming a target of tech trolls. The world used to be so quaint. We worried about burglars breaking into our homes and taking our TVs or computers. Now we worry about people breaking into our computers and taking stuff way more valuable.

Everyone has cameras in their hands at all times. And everyone can post anything anywhere. Post something on your lawn and the sign can be seen by someone across the town, or across the world. I heard an interview that National Public Radio did with information sociologist Zeynep Tufekci about Wikileaks and the dangers of a society that uploads first and thinks about ramifications second.

“We really need to figure out when to hold back,” Tufekci said. “In the past, news was driven by scarcity. There wasn’t enough news. And you sent around journalists. And you said, let’s find out what’s going on. Right now, there is too much information. In the 21st century, censorship doesn’t work by withholding information. Censorship now works by flooding with information, by causing distraction, by causing confusion, by creating doubts and just this question mark and shadow so that you really can’t figure out what’s going on. And to me, this is almost like the opposite of whistleblowing. This is whistle-drowning in confusion and distraction.”

Censorship also works when people fear speaking up because they don’t want to be pointed at by a mob of crazy people. So in the craziest election this country has ever seen, and with more than a dozen races and propositions on the ballot, we end up with near silence on our lawns.

I find that scary. ● Marcy Burstiner is chair of the Department of Journalism and Mass Communication at Humboldt State. You can find her at her polling place Nov. 8, where she will cast her vote in person.

Where’s the Fire?

Possibly not here, post legalization

By Linda Stansberry linda@northcoastjournal.com

H

umboldt Bay Fire Chief Bill Gillespie gave a presentation on butane hash lab explosions on Oct. 18, urging the Eureka City Council to pass an ordinance that would cap sales and possession of the volatile fuel within city limits. (The council will vote on the ordinance next month.)

Gillespie said local city and county lawmakers are watching Eureka closely, and may introduce their own ordinances in due time.

Gillespie’s presentation included photos of makeshift labs encountered by his firefighters, with one depicting hundreds of 600 mL butane canisters piled in a room adjacent to open flames. In February, the department made a controversial policy change, deciding its firefighters would no longer enter active fires if there is a hash or honey oil lab inside. To illustrate the dangers faced by fire personnel, Gillespie showed the council a video of an explosion in a medical marijuana dispensary in Santa Fe. The footage, captured by the dispensary’s security camera, shows flames erupting in an employee’s face. The explosion caused the roof to collapse as he frantically tried to escape the room, his hair alight. The New Mexico laboratory was later found to be in violation of several codes related to employee health and safety, and its owners eventually paid $13,500 in fines to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

While the video underscores the danger and power of such explosions, it also inspires fresh questions related to the legalization of recreational cannabis, which California voters will decide next month.

Locally, Gillespie and his colleagues have seen a host of unprofessional labs go up in flames, with Humboldt Bay Fire estimating at one point last year that hash lab explosions accounted for almost 20 percent of its structure fire calls. Will legalization — and a new regulatory framework for extract operations — stem the tide of explosive operations?

In a phone interview with the Journal, Gillespie said he and his colleagues can

see several benefits to legalization. The permitting process may mean fewer fires due to electrical shorts, for one thing.

“Bringing things more mainstream, it means they will have to follow building and electrical codes,” he said. “This is versus what I’ve seen in the past, where they just knock out a wall.”

Does this put firefighters on the opposite side of law enforcement, which in California has largely come out against Prop.

64? Not necessarily. Legalization has had a diverse array of impacts on firefighters and first responders.

“In some statistics I’ve been seen, there have been changes or increases in traffic collisions,” said Gillespie. “In Colorado, there was an increase in medical aid calls for people taking in too much concentrated cannabis, and they end up passed out, falling down, getting hurt.”

Colorado has also seen an increase in explosions at extract labs, at least according to a report from the Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area program, which says that between 2013 and 2014, “when retail marijuana businesses began operating, there was a 167 percent increase in explosions involving THC extraction labs.” The Journal was unable to confirm with the Rocky Mountain HIDTA how it gathered these statistics, or whether the numbers have changed in the last two years. The Northwest HIDTA office — which confirmed its branch had no central reporting system for these incidents, relying instead on self-reporting, newspaper articles and individual law enforcement agencies — has documented a different trend in Washington. There, the number of explosions took a sharp nosedive after July 1, the agency reports, when the state’s recreational and medical cannabis systems were merged, apparently removing the gray-market profit driver for amateur scientists. This may end up being the case in California, as well.

“We’re going to respond or treat whatever ends up being passed,” said Gillespie.

“We’re going to continue to do our jobs.” l northcoastjournal.com • NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Oct. 27, 2016

Eureka’s Temporary Camps Here to Stay

I

t has been six months since the city dissolved the long-standing homeless camp in the Palco Marsh. The fall’s first storm has visited, bringing with it ripping winds and record rain. At least 30 people spent the storm newly housed, thanks to the efforts of Betty Chinn, the city of Eureka and the Humboldt County Department of Health and Human Services. But many more weathered it outdoors, on benches in Eureka’s Old Town, hidden in the greenbelts or at a city-owned parking lot at the foot of Del Norte Street.

The parking lot is one of three spaces the city has been using as a rotating designated sleeping area, where the police will refrain from enforcing the city’s no-camping ordinance and allow people to set up their tents between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. The recent decision to move the Blue Angel Village — a shipping container shelter project for the homeless run by the Betty Kwan Chinn Foundation — to the city’s parking lot at Washington and Koster streets spurred concerns from local business owners that there would be an even greater impact on their customers and employees.

bling encounters have been blamed on the sleeping areas, which were implemented by the city after the Palco Marsh evictions, partially as a means to defend allegations contained in a lawsuit brought by local attorney Peter Martin and partially to address widespread concern that those living rough in Eureka would move into residential areas. Currently, the location of the temporary sleeping area rotates every two weeks.

With the move of the Blue Angel Village to the parking lot on Koster, only two sites remain for use as temporary sleeping areas — the parking lot at the foot of Del Norte and the Wharfinger building’s overflow lot. Another site, at the foot of T Street near the Samoa Bridge, was proposed at the Oct. 18 city council meeting, but the council voted unanimously to let the motion die after residents and business owners of the northern “Bridge Distict” spoke extensively against the idea.

Although four councilmembers reached the same decision (with Councilmember Natalie Arroyo absent), their commentary on the issue revealed a wide spectrum of opinion.

An American Genocide Humboldt County’s role in the mass slaughter of California Indians wasn’t limited to a massacre, vigilantes or even a militia.

It was systemic.

By Jerry Rohde newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

O

n the morning of April 7, 1862, Capt. David B. Akey and a detachment of soldiers from the Second California Cavalry left their camp in the Kneeland-Iaqua area.

They were looking for Indians. The ground was covered with four inches of snow, which made tracking easy.

Akey described what happened next. “Found fresh trail of two Indians as reported by scouts,” he wrote. “Followed the trail about one mile; came in sight of two Indians, supposed to be spies; ordered the men to fire; both were killed.”

That same day, in San Francisco, Brig.

Gen. George Wright issued a remarkable order to Akey’s commander, Col. Francis J. Lippitt, who was in charge of the army’s District of Humboldt. It stated in part: “The Indian difficulties in the Humboldt District have been growing worse and worse for years, and I am determined to settle them now for the last time. Every Indian that you may capture, and who has been engaged in hostilities present or past, shall be hung on the spot. Spare the women and children.” (Emphasis added.)

The killing of two Indians based merely on a supposition of an army captain and an army general’s order to execute Indian prisoners of war may seem shocking today, but in California in the mid-19th century such actions

were typical. They were part of a statewide holocaust, whose victims were the Indian peoples who had lived here for centuries, and whose perpetrators were part of a white population that had been here but a few years. In those days, there was no word to fully describe these actions. But now, a century and a half later, we call it genocide.

This is exactly what UCLA history professor Benjamin Madley has done in his recently published book, An American Genocide: The United States and the California Indian Catastrophe, 1846-1873. Using army records, newspaper accounts and a variety of other sources, Madley meticulously pieced together a record of hundreds of incidents where whites massacred, murdered or otherwise harmed Indians.

Sometimes the deeds were done by groups of vigilantes, but often the perpetrators were soldiers in the U.S. Army or members of the California state militia. By the early 1850s such attacks had become so widespread that Madley labels them a “killing machine.”

Although some California Indians “did violently resist invasion, theft and exploitation,” Madley notes that “this was no regular war.” Rather, “whites routinely carried out acts defined as genocidal, most conspicuously by killing thousands of California Indians, often by surrounding and massacring whole villages.”

For more than 150 years,

one tragic event has dominated the history of Indian-white relations in Humboldt County—the killing of scores of Wiyot Indians in February of 1860 in what is called the Indian Island Massacre. It occurred less than a mile from Eureka, and it was reported in the state and national press. Even the most biased writers, such as Indian Wars of the Northwest author Anthony Jennings Bledsoe, admitted that the act was horrifying and castigated the whites who had conducted it. When the Samoa Bridge was completed across Humboldt Bay in 1971, it offered hundreds of motorists a daily bird’s eye view of the massacre site. Indian Island became — and has remained — an emblem of the darkest time in the county’s history.

But the emblem is misleading, for it reduced years of death and destruction to a single event. Focusing on this one massacre has allowed us to acknowledge and condemn the actions that a small group of people committed over a short space of time, but it obscures the many other similar incidents that occurred during a period measured not in hours but in decades.

By thus diminishing the magnitude of what happened, the emblem of Indian Island has made the intolerable seem merely terrible.

For Madley, and for others like him who work in the field of genocide

SHERWOOD OAKS HEALTH CENTER studies, this is not an acceptable “As anyone who has lost outcome.

In early 1850, numerous Indians were massacred in Sonoma and Napa counties by vigilantes that included the brothers Benjamin and Samuel Kelsey. A group of local ranchers intervened to stop the killing, and several of the raiders were arrested by the mayor of Benicia. Eight of the vigilantes were held for trial but were released on bail following the first decision ever made by the California Supreme Court.

All eight quickly jumped bail and headed for places far away from the law. Several of the vigilantes, including the Kelseys, soon arrived at Humboldt Bay, where they helped found the town of Union, later to be called Arcata. (For details of this episode, see “The Sonoma Gang” in the Sept.

which proceeded to ride up to the South Fork Eel and kill some 40 Indians. The group then applied for enlistment as state militiamen. When Gov. John Downey refused their request, members of the Humboldt Cavalry “resolved to kill every peaceable Indian man, woman and child in this part of the country.” The result was the Indian Island Massacre and several similar attacks.

of the Karuk tribe led to escalating violence on the part of local miners.

Between Oct. 27 and Jan. 23, five volunteer militia companies were raised on the Klamath and Salmon rivers. One militia captain, Frank Buzelle, wrote from Orleans that “it was in contemplation to make a general attack on all the tribes” and that all were “marked down for slaughter.” Buzelle, an atypical militia officer, reported that he reached the mouth of the Salmon on Jan. 24 “just in time to save a general massacre” of the Karuks. But the conflict nonetheless escalated.

The Indians fought to defend themselves and what was known as the Col. Henry M. Black issued the order that “all Red Cap War ensued.

three separate army units moved into southern and eastern Humboldt County.

One group attacked Indians along the Mad River and Redwood Creek. Another focused on Larabee Creek, in the central part of the county. The Indians there were taken by surprise; they were used to army units trying to capture them, but this time the soldiers came to kill. The third prong of the attack was on the South Fork Eel. Here the bewildered commander, Lt. James P. Martin, tried to make sense of his orders. He stated that “I do not know positively what depredations, if any, have been committed by the Indians killed by this command,” and added, “my instructions are to consider all who run on approaching them as hostile and to fire upon them. In every case where any have been killed they ran at the first sight of the [army] men.”

In three months’ time, the soldiers killed more than 200 Indians. The United States Indian Affairs commissioner, William P. Dole, evaluated the attacks later that year. “This so-called ‘Indian war’ appears to be a war in which the whites alone are engaged,” he reported scathingly. “The Indians are hunted like wild and dangerous beasts of prey; the parents are ‘murdered,’ and the children ‘kidnapped.’”

Despite this condemnation by a federal official, Washington, according to Madley, continued its support of “genocidal actions by paying the killers’ salaries after the fact.”

So it was that by mid-1861, California Indians faced death from three forces—vigilantes, state militia units, and the regular soldiers of the U.S. Army. Bad as this was, it then became worse. Following the start of the Civil War in April 1861, the Secretary of War asked the governors of the various Union states to create volunteer units that would be brought into the army. In many states the volunteers became part of the forces that were fighting the Confederates. In California, however, the volunteer regiments and companies replaced regular army units that were sent east to fight. In all, almost 16,000 Californians joined up and many of them would participate in a new, more intense round of Indian killing.

At first, the volunteers were moderated by the benign policy of the new commander at Fort Humboldt, Col. Francis J. Lippitt, who issued one set of orders that instructed an officer “not to make war upon the Indians nor to punish them for any murders or depredations hitherto committed, but to bring them in and place them permanently on some reservation where they can be protected ... without bloodshed whenever it is possible.”

But, like Maj. Raines before him, Lippitt was soon overruled by a higher authority.

In April came General Wright’s order to execute male Indian prisoners, which helped open the floodgates for further bloodshed. Within two days Lippitt had reversed himself and repeated Wright’s draconian command to his subordinate officers. At least 120 Indians had been killed by June in the subsequent campaign. In August, an attack by a party consisting of both volunteers and vigilantes killed between 24 and 40 Indians on Little River.

While murdering Indians, soldiers also continued to take prisoners. In September, some 833 Indians were removed from Humboldt County and sent by ship to Crescent City, where they were moved to the Smith River Reservation. Before they left, an unspecified number had died, “probably owing to close confinement.”

Once at Smith River or other Indian reservations, the inmates faced concentration-camp conditions. According to Madley, “confinement to a federal reservation was a death sentence for many of the state’s Indian people, whether they were starved to death, worked to death, shot, hanged, massacred, or died of sickness there.” Some Indians managed to escape from the reservations, but they often fared no better than those they left behind. A group of Lassik Indians broke loose and managed to make their way back to their homeland on the Eel River. However, they were captured by vigilantes near Fort Seward and there, according to the Lassik woman Lucy Young, some 40 Lassik

males were lined up in a row and shot. The murderers then burnt the bodies.

During this time another genocidal crime occurred—that of “forcibly

transferring children of the group to another group.” A number of women and children were captured in the Eel River region. The women were removed to Fort Seward, but “the children were all

taken south and never heard of again.”

It is likely that they were sold as slaves, a practice that individual whites had been engaging in for years. The difference now was that volunteers in the U.S.

Benjamin Madley Benjamin Madley spent much of his childhood in Karuk Country on the Klamath River.

As Madley puts it, “My father worked with Karuk Indian people there so, at an early age, I became aware of ongoing conflicts between Native Americans and newcomers.” In high school in Los Angeles, Madley found that the school’s mascot wore a Great Plains war bonnet, which he knew was not the traditional regalia of California Indian people.

He also learned that one of his classrooms was built on the site of a Tongva Indian village. These experiences caused Madley to wonder, “Where are all of the Indian people?”

Madley received his B.A. from Yale University, focusing on genocide in Australia. His M.A. was completed at Oxford University and dealt with colonial violence in southwest Africa. He returned to Yale for his Ph.D. Deciding to focus on his home state, Madley wrote about the California Indian catastrophe. His dissertation was gradually transformed into An American Genocide. It took him “the better part of a decade” to complete the work.

Army were complicit.

The murderous activity of the army and the vigilantes was not enough to satisfy many of the locals. In January 1863 a meeting in Eureka “recommended that 500 volunteers begin hunting Indians.” That same month the Klamath County Grand Jury asked for the old standby, state militiamen. Soon the legislative delegation of Humboldt, Del Norte and Klamath counties visited General Wright and asked him to suggest to Gov. Leland Stanford that he call out the militia. Wright asked, but Stanford instead formed 10 new volunteer companies to join the U.S. Army. Six companies that were mustered between May of 1863 and March of 1864 became known as the Mountaineer Battalion. In June of 1863 the battalion’s lieutenant colonel, local newspaper editor Stephen G. Whipple, took command of the Humboldt District from Col. Lippitt.

Whipple’s troops continued the destruction of the Humboldt County Indians, but apparently at too slow a pace. In February of 1864, Wright replaced Whipple with Henry M. Black, who brought 250 soldiers with him. In addition, two new Mountaineer companies were soon mustered into service, making a total of 16 companies operating in the Humboldt Military District.

Black was clearly trying to play an

endgame. He revived the order “that all Indian men taken in battle shall be hung at once” as his troops had killed “perhaps 100 people” or more by June. Black had also collected 500 prisoners at Fort Humboldt.

Then, mercifully, came a change in tactics. In July, California Indian Affairs Superintendent Austin Wiley, the former editor of the Humboldt Times, met with Indians from the Hoopa area, including 75 armed warriors who remained at large.

In August, Wiley concluded a treaty with the Hupa Indians and their neighbors that ultimately established the Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation. And finally, the army altered its genocidal policies. That November, Gen. Irwin McDowell issued a resounding order that “Hereafter no officer or soldier will execute or aid in executing any Indian prisoner on any pretext whatever.”

With these events, the killing machine on the North Coast was finally dismantled. In the following years there were a few isolated incidents but nothing like the unrelenting attacks of the previous decade. The statewide toll, by the end, was enormous. In all, Madley estimates that a minimum of “some 9,000 to 16,000 California Indians, and probably many more” were killed by U. S. Army troops, California state militiamen and vigilantes.

Although “in some instances, U. S. Army officers acted to protect California Indians from violence,” Madley believes that army soldiers nonetheless killed at least 1,680 Indian people. He also notes that “neither the U.S. government nor the state of California has acknowledged that the California Indian catastrophe fits the two-part legal definition of genocide set forth by the 1948 UN Genocide Convention.”

But, as Madley’s evidence proves, what occurred in Humboldt County and elsewhere in the state was indeed “an American genocide.” ● Jerry Rohde is an ethnogeographer and historian who writes about Humboldt County.

ish cakes are one of my all-time favorite appetizers. You can make them with just about any fish but I prefer locally caught black rockfish (which are sometimes also sold This recipe is simple, 316 Eas st“black • OLD snapper”).

TOWN EUREKA • 443-7187 incredibly tasty and always a big D I N N E R : M O N D A Y- S A T U R D A Y 5 - 9 hit pm at parties. Just make sure you eat one of them right as you serve them or chances are you will miss out. When I bring rockfish cakes to family and friends, the whole batch is usually gone within 15 minutes.

Rockfish season on the North Coast is open all year to shore-based anglers and divers. However, the boat fishing season lasts only from May 15 through Oct. 31 (and a valid fishing license is required). Rockfish are an abundant and sustainable local fishery; so pursuing this species is a great opportunity to get out with your friends or family for a little fishing fun — with a high likelihood of success.

If you are interested in rushing out to try your luck with hook and line over the weekend, try the charter boats that run daily out of Trinidad Bay or Crescent City.

On a calm day, the north and south jetties of Humboldt Bay can also yield sizable fish. If you are not an angler, you can support this local and sustainable fishery by buying fresh caught boneless rockfish fillets from our local grocers. Just make sure you ask for the freshest fillets and double check that the fish were caught in our North Coast waters.

Rockfish Cakes

Serves 6 as appetizers.

Ingredients: 2 rockfish fillets (approximately ½ pound) 1 egg ½ a potato, mashed ¼ cup diced red bell pepper ¼ cup shredded carrot

¼ cup diced green onion ½ cup panko bread crumbs 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/8 teaspoon chili powder 1 teaspoon cumin Salt to taste Canola oil for frying 1 lemon cut into wedges Cut the rockfish into ½-inch cubes and blanch them in boiling water for approximately 2 minutes. Be sure to keep an eye on the fish as it cooks so it does not foam up and boil over. Next, drain the water and put the cooked fish into a large bowl. Add the mashed potato, green onion, carrot, pepper, panko, garlic and spices, and mix thoroughly. Divide the mixture and form 6 patties, 2 inches in diameter and about ½ inch thick. Heat a little oil in your favorite cast iron skillet and fry the patties over a medium-high flame. When the fishcakes are golden brown on both sides, they are ready. Serve these delicious treats while still warm with lemon wedges, malt vinegar and tartar or cocktail sauce, like the one below.

Simple cocktail sauce

If you are not a mayonnaise lover (which I absolutely am not), swap out tartar sauce for this easy to make cocktail sauce.

Ingredients: 12 ounces ketchup 1 tablespoon Sriracha chili sauce 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 tablespoon horseradish paste 1/3 teaspoon salt Hot sauce to taste Blend all the ingredients in a bowl until completely mixed.

The Neverland You Never Knew

Clothes should smell clean.

Not dry cleaned.

Peter and the Starcatcher at HSU

By Pat Bitton

frontrow@northcoastjournal.com

D

id you know Neverland was a sailing ship before it was Peter Pan’s forever home? Me neither. But that’s just one of the fascinating details to emerge in Peter and the Starcatcher, Humboldt State University Theatre Department’s season opener. It’s a play with music (not a fullblown musical) that imagines a prequel to the Peter Pan story we all know and love, whether as a Disney movie, a stage musical or, in my case, an English pantomime. We also learn how Hook lost his hand, how the crocodile got his tick-tock, where Tinkerbell came from and, of course, how Peter became the boy who would never grow up.

Based on the first of a series of books

by Ridley Pearson and Dave Barry, the play brings together the stories of Molly Aster (the versatile Camille Borrowdale, last seen as Mowgli in Jungalbook), apprentice starcatcher and privileged daughter of Lord Aster, and a nameless orphan boy (a delightfully androgynous Benny Allen, reflecting a lifetime of Peter Pans played by female actors, perhaps?) who hates grownups because “they always lie.”

The production opens with the 13-member cast in primary roles (every actor plays at least two characters) setting the scene for an enchanting and fantastical two-hour adventure. The aforementioned Lord Aster (a suitably aristocratic Victor Parra) has been appointed by Queen Victoria as custodian of a chest full of starstuff, a powerful magical substance captured by starcatchers as it falls to earth; we are informed that Her Majesty has no need of it “because she’s British.” This precious cargo will be transported to the designated disposal site in the remote kingdom of Rundoon on the world’s fastest ship, the H.M.S. Wasp, captained by well-known adventurer Robert Falcon Scott (Colin Gibbs).

For safety’s sake (this is a dangerous mission!), Mollie and her nanny, the alliterative Mrs. Bumbrake (Ayanna Wilson, in a wonderfully over-the-top performance) follow the Wasp on the slower, older Neverland with a decoy chest full of sand.

The Neverland is, however, captained by the devious Bill Slank (an athletic and fasttalking Mickey Thompson), who has some very different ideas about the mission. Also on board are three boys, sold to Slank by lying schoolmaster Grempkin (a fittingly smart-mouthed Madison Burgett-Feagin, most recently in Dead Man’s Cellphone) of St. Norbert’s Orphanage for Lost Boys.

Also on board are Mack, the world’s most inept sailor (Lauren Zika), and kindly old seaman Alf (a genial and relatable, though somewhat wobbly-accented Matthew Hern, last seen as Baloo in Jungalbook). There is a brief struggle for leadership of the kid contingent between whiny-bully-coward Prentiss (an all-too-believable William English III) and Molly, rapidly and handily won by the determined Miss M. But as the ships set sail, everyone’s careful plans begin to unravel, starting with the takeover of the Wasp by notorious pirate Black Stache, played with fantastical flamboyance and marvelously mangled language by Maude Jaeb. Stache is ably supported in his evil endeavors by the exotically outfitted Smee (Ivan Gamboa, another Jungalbook alum with a gift for comic timing). Stache soon discovers that all is not as expected in the valuables department, setting the stage for shipwrecks, dramatic rescues, an exceptionally perceptive and talented ship’s cat, and magical encounters in the Kingdom of the Mollusks.

Along the way, we meet Chief Fighting Prawn (Mickey Thompson in another strong performance), who speaks in a language largely composed of Italian restaurant menu items, a phalanx of high-kicking mermaids (yes, anything is possible if you believe!), and a super-mermaid/teacher (another diva-esque turn by Ayanna Wilson) who gives our hero some life lessons. We laugh as food-obsessed lost boy Teddy (Sarah Burfoot) tries to figure out how to eat a pineapple, and marvel as Molly and her father communicate in Dodo, Porpoise and Norse Code (resulting in some impressive Norwegian dialogue). And you probably don’t want to know what happens when a

crocodile gets a taste of starstuff.

Rick Elice’s script is pure delight, overflowing with clever wordplay and sly references to the modern world. The set design is simple yet effective, giving context to the action without detracting from the performance, and the costumes are nothing short of stunning. Director Rae Robison and stage manager Roman Sanchez keep the action moving at a fast pace but the audience never feels left behind. Whether as sailors or mermaids, pirates or mollusks, the performers shift between characters seamlessly. The only real nit I have to pick is that the few ensemble musical numbers lack vocal clarity, and a few of the actors might have benefited from dialogue coaching.

Peter and the Starcatcher is an auspicious start to the new season; the students and faculty have set themselves a high bar with an imaginative and engaging production that reminds us of what’s really important in life — and to never forget the magic.

So clap your hands if you believe — I did, and I think you will, too.

Ghost Town

The Haunted History tour bumps in the night

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill getout@northcoastjournal.com

Alex Service regales the tour group with tales of spirits at the Bluebird Brothel.

M

ost of the sky has darkened but for an apricot streak of sunset over the mouth of Humboldt Bay. Alex Service stands with her back to the water at the foot of F Street, her brown, oilcloth duster flared out behind her as she sets the scene for a crowd of 30. She asks them to imagine what this cluster of streets and Victorian buildings looked like 150 years ago in a smaller, wilder Eureka with the redwood forest butting up against G and Fourth streets, the bustling harbor, the Native American village across the water and William Carson in his mansion up the road. She tells them of Hans Henry Buhne, the Danish sea captain who guided the first ship into the bay and the bride he lost to its waters years later, her voluminous dress and petticoats billowing in the water and dragging her twice from his grasp.

The big group for the Old Town Haunted History Ghost Tour turns toward the Hans Henry Buhne building as Eric Volmers picks up the tale. Standing 6 feet 6 inches in a dark wool coat and a Greek sailor’s cap over a pate of white hair, his voice is soft and drifts in like a fog overhead. The building is the oldest in Eureka, he explains, housing a private museum upstairs and stories of Captain Buhne’s presence.

Neighboring shopkeepers and residents, he says, report cups sliding along tabletops on their own, the sound of footsteps after hours and the feeling of being watched.

Volmers and Service are not ghost hunters — there are no night vision goggles or odd instruments — and they welcome skeptics and believers alike.

“We’re telling stories,” says Volmers, an

Arcata High School history and government teacher by day. Some six years ago, his sister gave him the idea for the tour after taking one in San Francisco. He was toying with the idea when he stopped by for a drink at Oberon Grill, where he got to chatting with owner Roy Cole about the building’s checkered past and accompanying ghost legends. After that, Volmers “went on a bit of a pub crawl,” asking questions and listening to tales from owners and regulars. Then he dove into research at local libraries, Humboldt State University and the county’s public records offices, looking up census records, court documents and newspapers for stories of real people to see if they matched the whisperings. Before long he had more than enough material for a two-hour tour.

Service, curator of Fortuna’s Depot Museum, joined him a year later, putting her historian chops to work recording local lore and researching its origins amid the speakeasies and scandals of Eureka’s past. Her medievalist doctorate might seem an odd fit, but she studied at the University of York — York, mind you, bills itself as the title of most haunted place in England — where she continued to feed her childhood fascination with supernatural history. Service says she “would love to see a ghost,” but, alas, she’s “not sensitive to that.” She and Volmers do, however, know how to spin a yarn.

Across from the Waterfront Café, Service stops the crowd — a birthday party and a group of elementary school teachers among them — to recount the history of the Bluebird, one of old Eureka’s 30 bygone brothels, which turned a brisk business upstairs. There are giggles over

22 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Oct. 27, 2016 • northcoastjournal.com

the tale of the headless man seen walking the train tracks at night, but a hush falls as Volmers shares the grim death of an unhappy Swedish boarder. “Imagine,” he says, “cutting your own throat.” Was this the unseen “angry man” that spoke to a cleaning lady’s daughter years later? We cross the street quietly for a pastiche of rumors about the tunnels that supposedly run under the streets — used by bootleggers, publicity-shy Johns, Chinese on the run from an angry mob — before making our way to the Vance Hotel. A passerby listens for a moment and assures us that the Vance is indeed haunted by a woman who just this week has been breaking things.

And the Vance does not disappoint: We crane our necks upward, listening to our guides regale us about the building’s former owner, who leapt to his death from one of its windows, salon employees seeing shadowy forms disappearing into walls and plumbers who’ve run screaming from voices in the basement. Imagining all this and crossing the brick-paved street to trace the rumored tunnel to the brothel at what is now the Oberon Grill, the Old Town where we work, run errands and fret over parking tickets is transformed. The ornate facades that inarguably have character start to feel like characters, witnesses and survivors of more feral generations, unlikely to be shocked at what we have to show them. We cut through the restaurant, the scene of Jack London’s brawl, passing beneath both the chandelier people say has spun on its own and the second-floor, where a woman in period dress is said to appear and disappear.

We wind our way through alleys and

tree-lined streets, Volmers and Service stopping for snippets of eerie tragedy, speakeasy shootouts, unhappy spirits of harassed women who drift former bank hallways and the handsy bosses who linger to grope the living. (Really, jackass? That’s the unfinished business keeping you on this side of the veil?) In the Eagle House we hear of strange goings on in rooms 24 and 25, and workers reporting floating balls of light — we also lose one couple to the bar at Gallagher’s. The rest of us pause along First Street to consider Eureka’s very real horrors, the massacre of Wiyot people at Indian Island that earned Eureka the title of “Murderville, California” in the national press — a nod to the dark side of the town’s wild days.

The tour ends at the gazebo with a final image of bygone Eureka, the real ghost on this tour: the carriages and sailors, the drunks stumbling into the street to be swept up either by the Salvation Army Band or the ladies of the Alpine Hotel.

After a little applause, a handful of people head back to Oberon Grill, some to see if they can get upstairs, the guides for a drink at the bar. If you’ve got a little more time, join them for that drink and ask about the Carson Mansion and the Carson Block Building — they have plenty more stories to tell.

You need to reserve a spot ($20) on an Old Town Haunted History Ghost Tour by calling 672-5012. Tours run with a minimum of five people, so you can either jump in with a group or pony up $100 for a private walk. The tour meets up at Old Town Coffee and Chocolates at 7 p.m., and a hot chocolate on a cold night isn’t a bad idea — might even help with those chills. l

Down and Dirty

For the Love of Figs

By Heather Jo Flores

downanddirty@northcoastjournal.com

I

can’t stop eating them. There’s a fig tree at the place where I am staying and I can’t seem to keep them out of my mouth! It’s a huge tree, maybe 50 years old, sprawling across the low wood fence and dropping down into the neighbors’ yard. They don’t mind. Every October, both houses get more figs than they know what to do with, just from the one tree. It’s a Black Spanish, and it’s famous among fig aficionados as being one of most prolific, cold-hardy and easy to grow varieties.

If you don’t have figs in your garden, you should plant one immediately! Plant 10! Figs are not only beautiful, delicious, nutritious and easy to grow, they also provide shade and privacy, create habitat for birds and insects, and are star players in food forests from Vermont to Arcata to Spain and back again.

The sprawling nature of a fig leaves space between for annuals and perennials.

Try currants, comfrey, seaberry, canna and blueberries, for starters. In last month’s article about food forests, I detailed a fig guild. Check it out.

Fig trees can definitely take up a good amount of space, so give it to them. If you live in town or space is limited, plant the figs on an edge, against a back fence or on the parking strip. In the country, plant a patch to create a circular grove or establish a border. I have never had problems with deer eating figs, though your results may vary.

But not all figs are created equal. Many types of figs will literally drown in a wet

winter and/or die back all the way to the ground every time it freezes. In our temperate climate, it is important to choose varieties that do well here. Here are my four favorites. Each of these bears fruit at different times, so plant one of each and you’ll have an extended bounty. These are available online and at most of the local nurseries.

Black Spanish, as mentioned above, is always a winner. It loves hot summers and wet winters, and can be quite prolific, even in a marginal site. The fruits are medium-sized, dark, firm and juicy, and delicious fresh or dried. Naturally smaller than other varieties, in the right spot it can produce two crops a year.

Desert king is one of the best varieties for maritime gardens because it resists late spring frosts and ripens in mid-summer, even in cooler microclimates. Trees can get quite large.

Lattarulla, aka Italian honey fig, is more of a golden color, excellent for drying and can bear two crops in one season, one ripening in late July and the second in mid-September.

Vern’s brown turkey fig, not to be confused with plain brown turkey, was developed by Oregon gardener Vern Nelson and is widely known as reliable, productive and prolific in temperate gardens from British Columbia to the Bay Area. It bears large, sweet brown figs and will often produce two crops a year.

Neverella, also called Osborne prolific, makes stunning, opalescent fruits. Naturally a smaller tree that is more shade-toler-

ant than other varieties, this is an excellent choice for urban gardens.

Petite negra grows only 3 to 4 feet tall — perfect for your container garden!

Medium-sized fruits are reddish black and come twice a year.

You could also just take some cuttings from an existing tree in your neighborhood. Figs are super easy to propagate.

If you know of one that does well where you live, just wait until it’s done fruiting and then ask to take a few cuttings, either from the tips of the young branches or from the suckers around the base of the tree. If you get lucky, some of those suckers will already have roots growing!

Get the cuttings established in pots and plant out in early spring while they are still dormant, or if you can keep the soil evenly moist for a month or two, then you can just stick the cuttings directly in the ground.

Once established, figs can be extremely drought tolerant, but, as with most trees,

they need to be watered regularly for the first three years. Use this young-tree time to establish companion perennials before the shade canopy of the fig begins to spread. They respond well to an annual top-dressing of rich compost, but aren’t especially needy when it comes to maintenance, fertilizers or pruning. In my experience, figs don’t take kindly to being pruned, and whole sections can rot if a cut is made improperly. Prune if you must, but be sure to do it only when the tree is completely dormant: after Thanksgiving and before Groundhog Day. Fun fact: Figs are an inside-out flower, and some varieties are pollinated by the aptly named fig wasp. Other types of wasps don’t pollinate but simply use the figs as a nursery for their larvae. These wasps are also known to hunt insects that are harmful to plants, so having figs benefits your whole garden. “I wish I wouldn’t have planted that fig tree” said no one, ever. l

Long Halloweekend

By Andy Powell

thesetlist@northcoastjournal.com

Halloween Although Halloween falls on a Monday this year — much to the children’s dismay — it seems everyone will go ahead and consider Friday, Saturday and maybe Sunday Halloween or at least a pre-party.

I expect the children will still be honoring this high-fructose holiday on Monday but adults who like costumes have many shows to pick from this weekend.

These might be the only few days you’ll see “Make America Great Again” hats in Arcata — and maybe some jailbird Hillary costumes in Fortuna — so enjoy that.

Thursday

Alaskan singer-songwriter Marian Call will be in Eureka tonight at Northcoast Audio (Fifth and C streets) to peddle her unique “funky acoustic joy jazz” with a bit of comedic insight to boot. I am told she writes songs about spaceships, avocados, Windows Vista and life in Alaska. She’ll start up around 7 p.m. for donations. Many of us here on the North Coast are familiar with the name Kimock via the guitar whiz and Dead-worthy Steve Kimock who comes through our neck of the woods every so often. Tonight, a project with his son John at the center, aptly titled Kimock will be at the Arcata Theatre Lounge around 8 p.m. John Kimock began playing and composing music young, no surprise in a family like this. Bouncing between Vermont and Sonoma, John’s been working on new music — on his own and with

his father — for this “symbiotic” project. $24 lets you check out this full band and hear what a talented father and son can come up with. Sam Kaplan-Good, a percussionist of many talents and as many bands, politely informs me of a new band he’s been working with and its debut at The Jam tonight. Rogue’s Gallery is a “fivepiece all-original Americana/alt-country group, with pedal steel and three-part harmonies,” as Sam explains it. The pedal steel and harmonies caught my attention, let them catch yours. The new band has already recorded a song called “Rather Not Know” with Ryan Roberts as the engineer. Speaking of Ryan, his band Absynth Quartet follows up Rogue’s Gallery on The Jam stage. No word on price but the show is at 9:30 p.m.

Friday I love hearing about local band album release shows because that means, well, somebody recorded an album. It’s rapidly becoming a lost art but, to me, when a band still takes the time to write enough material for even an EP and cobbles together the money to record it well, to bring its physical existence into the world, it shows the band takes the music seriously. That said, local “twang noir” troubadours of Moon Pine are celebrating the release of End County Road, a fitting title for many areas around here. If you haven’t seen or heard Moon Pine yet, I recommend it. Comprised of Nola “Victrola” Pierce with local heavy-hitters Michael Di-

eter, Jonathan Kipp, Issa Stemler and Brian Hennesey, it’s a talented group that knows how to weave sonic fabric that’s soft and gentle, as well as rougher, coarser stuff that keeps out cold and dust. Local alt-something trio (of which I’m one) Strix Vega opens the show at 8 p.m. at The Sanctuary in Arcata for $5. New Riders of the Purple Sage was to appear in Arcata this evening, but I hear David Nelson has recently broken his arm. While he heals up, some of his friends will be jamming in his place at Humboldt Brews tonight at 9:30 p.m.

Edge of the West and Bear Tread will play tunes that fit the vibe. Bring $15 to get in. If something a little more in the black metal vein is what you want, the only scratch to your itch tonight that I know of is at the Li’l Red Lion in Eureka. Out of Colorado Springs, black metal duo The Houseman Brothers are supporting their new album The Carnal Sabbath with their project Helleborus. I’m not clear on what the project is — perhaps the name of their tour show? — but you can find out at 9 p.m. for $5. (On a side note, hey bands and promoters: I appreciate you letting me know about your shows so I can then let people know about them. While you’re at it, let me know the times and cover charges for your shows. Thanks.) I’m still puzzled by the adult Halloween thing, but then again, much in this life puzzles me. Tonight’s the 2016 KMUD/Mateel Halloween Boogie at The Mateel in Redway. The organizers let me know that not only do the SoHum festivities begin at 8 p.m., but that for only $25 you can hear from a “giant funk and rock collective from L.A.” called Trulio Disgracias under the direction of Norwood Fisher of Fishbone. Opening the show is King Yellowman & the Sagittarius Band, who I’m told delighted fans at the recent Reggae on the River. You rockers may know the name of cult legend Hawkwind from the U.K. Call it space rock, psychedelic rock, proto-punk — whatever you call it, an iteration of the band will be in Arcata tonight. With Lemmy and Ginger Baker as two of the more well-known graduates of Hawkwind, fans will also recognize the names of Dave Brock and Nik Turner. Turner is the brass/woodwind player of the band and one who you may recall wore the fabulous space-aged/Egyptian-aged outfits back in the heyday. So, without further ado, Nik Turner’s Hawkwind will be bringing its Space Rock Odyssey Tour to The Miniplex tonight around 9 p.m. joined

by Hedersleben from San Fran and locals Los Bears covering all of Weezer’s Blue Album. The $10 will be worth it.

Saturday I declare tonight “Pretend Halloween,” so expect to see a lot of costumes out

on the town. There may be a glut of Rasta costumes tonight at the Arcata Theatre Lounge around 8 p.m. as reggae legend Don Carlos and Dub Vision Band will be headlining tonight joined by Messenjah Selah with the Fyah Squad Band and DJ Unite all for a $30 ticket price. Perhaps you’ll find some oversized suits tonight at the Blue Lake Casino and Hotel as local Talking Heads tribute Naive Melodies will be doing their thing tonight for free at 9 p.m. I’m unclear how to generalize the costumes — or lack thereof — you might find at The Alibi tonight, but no matter. It’s another Songwriter Circle of Death (The Rebirth of Death) starting around 11 p.m. featuring locals The Bored Again, Billy Cook and Nola Victrola (of above-mentioned Moon Pine). It’s a free show, so hear these songwriters share their songs.

Monday It’s actually Halloween, so you parents probably will have a hard time getting out to a show tonight as you’ll be hoofing it around your neighborhood with the kids and then giving them insulin injections before bedtime. So for the non-breeders — or those who have kids who actually moved out — have fun out there tonight.

As you know, in Humboldt County you’re never very far from the sounds of The Dead. Be they performed by members of the extended family, songs from the band riding the local airwaves, or local tributes, The Dead live on. Tribute band Rosewater will be at The Jam for two nights getting you your fix. 9:30 p.m. show, price TBA.

Tuesday

Missed Rosewater last night? Check it out tonight at the Jam, more info above.

Wednesday All the way out from Minneapolis, you can hear the “cutting edge front porch Americana soundscapes” of The Last Revel. A trio of multi-instrumentalists, these folks play a blend of rock, folk, old time string band and such with an array of guitars, bass, fiddle, banjo, harmonica and three-part vocal harmonies. I don’t know if their latest album is ready for sale yet but you’ll hear some songs off it for sure. It’s $10 for this 9:30 p.m. show. l Full show listings in the Journal’s Music and More grid, the Calendar and online.

Bands and promoters, send your gig info, preferably with a high-res photo or two, to music@northcoastjournal.com.

Andy Powell is a congenital music lover and hosts The Night Show on KWPT 100.3 FM weeknights at 6 p.m. He wears a costume every day.

It’s here! The most magical time of the year for little ghouls and goblins.

With free trick-or-treating, costume contests, parades and old-fashioned carnival fun, there’s plenty to do this Halloween. We’ve got the scoop on the (not so) scary spots for your little monsters.

McKinleyville’s Halloween Costume Parade is Saturday, Oct. 29 at 11 a.m. at McKinleyville Safeway Shopping Plaza (free). Get your Draculas in a row at the small kiosk in the parking lot before 11 a.m. to join. Old Town’s Trick or Treat fun also happens Saturday, Oct. 29 from 2 to 4 p.m. (free) and is open to costumed children 12 and under who are accompanied by an adult.

Halloween day trick-or-treating happens in Arcata, Fortuna and Garberville.

Arcata’s Trick or Treat on the Plaza is Monday, Oct. 31 from 4 to 6 p.m. (free).

Fortuna’s Trick or Treat takes place from 3 to 5 p.m. on Main Street (free) — also for costumed children 12 and under who are accompanied by an adult.

And Southern Humboldt is having a Halloween Fest on Monday, Oct. 31 at the Garberville Town Square with a costume and scream contest starting at 3:30 p.m. with small-town trick-or-treat to follow (free).

And boasting plenty of tricks, RampArt Skatepark is having its Halloween Fundraiser on Saturday, Oct. 29 at 8 p.m. ($5) featuring two bands, a costume contest and a skate contest.

If you’re skipping the family-friendly portion of Halloween this year and are looking instead for grown-up thrills and chills, here’s a sampling of events sure to scare the wits out of you.

The granddaddy of local scream-throughs, the Haunted Kinetic Lab of Horrors is back Oct. 28 through 31, from 7 p.m. to midnight at the Kinetic Sculpture Lab ($12). This shriek-fest is recommended for ages 13 and over and features live music outside — to drown out the screams.

Head down to the foggy docks at Waterfront and Commercial street for The Haunted 1091 Ghost Ship on Friday, Oct. 28 and Saturday, Oct. 29 from 6 to 10 p.m. ($10). Wear flat shoes for this one. You’ll be creeping through three levels of steely terror (and you may need to run). Ages 12 and up only.

Ghouls, zombies and other crazies run amok at The Haunted Mill Tour at Blue Ox Millworks from 7:30 p.m. to midnight Friday, Saturday and Monday, ($12). No children under 13 admitted. Bring an extra pair of big boy/girl pants for this one.

Tucked away in the rural reaches of Willow Creek is Dream Quest’s Haunted House, happening Oct. 29-31 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Mayfair Drive, one block off of State Route 299 ($5). Apparently a film company of dubious reputation has set up a studio in Willow Creek ... Not recommended for children.

And for an evening of macabre entertainment, don’t miss Rotary Club of Southwest Eureka’s spookfest, Cirque de Soulless: The Illusion, Saturday, Oct. 29 from 7 to 11 p.m. at the Sequoia Conference Center ($65, $60 advance). This one has it all: music, dancing, appetizers and … terror!

Living Authentically On the road and undercover

By John J. Bennett

filmland@northcoastjournal.com When his Instagram account suggests he might not be that woke.

Reviews

AMERICAN HONEY. In this case it’s difficult to separate my staid and cynical self from the open, curious one. The former looks at this movie as a bigger, louder take on the same themes as Kids (1995): a decades-older artist’s peek through the keyhole of disenfranchised youth culture, designed to freak out the squares. But the latter sees the almost-accidental beauty in American Honey, can appreciate the freshness of its perspective and its aggressive vitality. It is a formidable, challenging artwork that frustrates and satisfies in almost equal measure; it appears to accomplish exactly what it sets out to, which may or may not mean it is an artistic success.

In the squalid swelter of Oklahoma, 18-year-old Star (Sasha Lane) Dumpster-dives and looks after the young children of some shiftless dude with whom she is entangled. But then she encounters Jake (Shia LaBeouf) in a K-Mart parking lot, along with his raggedy crew of young men and women, and her curiosity is piqued.

She accepts Jake’s invitation to accompany them to Kansas City, first spiriting the children to their recalcitrant mother in a noisy roadhouse and fleeing the scene.

By morning, Star is part of the crew: an itinerant mob of young people bouncing around the mid-West in a van, selling magazines door to door. Ultimately, they all, even Jake, work for Krystal (Riley Keough), a sloe-eyed sadist who holds them in her sway. Jake takes Star under his wing, introducing her to his sales method: a combination of shabby charm, outright mendacity and petty theft. She, smitten but disapproving of the dishonesty, headstrong, frustrating — 18 — sticks around to be near him, befriending but keeping the rest at arm’s length. And so things continue: long days in the van getting high and drunk, nights in roadside residence motels, weak sales pitches to reluctant suburbanites. Star punctuates the routine with some forays of questionable wisdom, and her relationship with Jake stays at a fairly consistent level of crazy.

There is a plot, or at least the skeleton of one, behind American Honey, but writer-director Andrea Arnold focuses more on atmosphere. To her credit, she creates and sustains a palpable one. The life these people are living is vibrant and authentic, full-blooded and terrible. But she insists that we join in on that life for almost three hours, and at some point that becomes a strain. While the pace and feeling of the movie can be gentle, almost lyrical, with long cutaways and asides designed to add to the feeling of American summer, they can also be the source of mounting frustration. Arnold insists on extensive use of a hand-held camera, which increases the intimacy and immediacy of the movie, but also creates a faux-documentary aesthetic

that eventually undermines the integrity of the story. The frequent gorgeous shots are imbued with a just-happened-to-bethere quality that diminishes their impact.

Showing us a beautiful thing, unadorned, without composition is fine but it is a snapshot, not cinema.

I find myself more troubled, though, by the feeling that Arnold — who is British — examines this uniquely American subculture from some elevation, like some pith-helmeted explorer pushing in to the Dark Continent. As well as the created atmosphere of the movie works, there are hard to define moments within it that suggest a morbid editorial curiosity; a critical distance disguised as intimacy. And it’s hard not to feel manipulated when the languid, inebriated tone of the piece is ruptured (not infrequently) by dread and menace. American Honey is an impressive, immersive movie. It is beautifully acted, challenging and beautiful. But there is something disingenuous, a posturing inherent in the discrepancy between its tone and its execution that I find off-putting. R. 163M. BROADWAY. KEEPING UP WITH THE JONESES. Zach Galifianakis (once a brilliant comedian, now perhaps our most unlikely movie star) and Isla Fisher star as Jeff and Karen Gaffney, suburban parents caught up in the pleasant doldrums of regular life. Jeff works in human resources at a major tech company. Karen is an interior designer. Everything is … fine. After they send the kids away to camp, impossibly accomplished, sexy new neighbors move on to the cul de sac. Tim and Natalie Jones (Jon Hamm and Gal Gadot, so, yeah), a travel writer and food blogger cum philanthropist, respectively, seem perfect but Karen has questions.

Of course they aren’t quite what they

seem; we wouldn’t have much of a movie otherwise. Tim and Natalie draw the Gaffneys into the world of international espionage. There are some solid pratfalls along the way and the two couples work well as foils. Ultimately, though, the movie falls a little flat. It is reminiscent of the some of the great comedy hybrids of the 1980s, but is too polished, too stylistically nondescript to be more than a slightly sad reminder. PG13. 101M. BROADWAY, MILL CREEK, MINOR.

Celebrating Dia de los Muertos in Mexico with candles on the steps of the Guanajuato University.

Photo by Louisa Rogers

he Christian celebration of Halloween (holy evening), like its predecessor, the pagan Celtic festival of Samhain, is that liminal time of year when the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead become thin. For our ancestors, that’s when ghosts and spirits needed to be propitiated with offerings of crops, milk and wine. Today, these ancient customs from Ireland, Scotland and Wales (bastions of Celtic heritage) are mirrored by such modern counterparts as Mexico’s Dia de los Muertos, (Day of the Dead), when people leave food and drink at the graves of family members.

In pre-Christian Britain and Ireland, Samhain (pronounced SAH-win), literally “summer’s end,” marked the beginning of the winter season and — according to some historians — the start of the new year. Crops were brought in, cattle brought down from the hills, livestock slaughtered (as summer grass died), bonfires lit and precursors of modern trick-or-treaters went from house to house in costume demanding gifts in return for reciting poetry.

Sound familiar?

The feast of All Hallows, or All Saints, was an attempt by the early church to lessen the importance of pagan festivals by substituting them with Christian holy days, like pegging Christmas to the time of the Roman solstice festival of Saturnalia.

In the case of Samhain, in 835 AD, Pope Gregory IV designated Nov. 1 — the traditional date of Samhain — as All Saints Day. And just as the Yule log reminds us of the pagan roots of Christmas, our carved candlelit pumpkin, the Jack o’ Lantern, is born of an earlier tradition. The story goes that Jack was a ne’er-do-well hard drinker, whose misdeeds precluded happiness in the afterlife. Staggering home after a

boozy night, Jack was ambushed by Old Nick himself. “Follow me to purgatory,” he ordered. Jack complained that he would need a stick “from yonder sycamore” if he was to walk all the way to hell. Grudgingly, the Devil climbed the tree to break off a branch, at which Jack trapped him by quickly carving a cross in the bark. So a deal was struck: Jack would free him if Satan promised to not claim his soul.

When Jack died, the Devil kept his word but instead tossed him a blazing lump of coal straight from the fires of hell. It being a cold night, Jack put the coal in a scooped-out turnip for warmth and light.

And today, Jack and his lantern still roam between heaven and hell seeking a place to rest.

Somehow this old Irish story traveled to East Anglia, in England, where Jack o’ Lantern became another name for Will o’ the Wisp, the peasant name for ignis fatuus — foolish fire — the odd phenomenon of light appearing at night above marshy ground. It’s not well understood but is probably caused by the spontaneous ignition of methane and phosphene from rotting vegetation. Ignis fatuus is rarely seen today, with the disappearance of both wetlands and the dark of night — have any readers seen it?

Immigrants from the Old World brought Halloween over to the U.S., where it caught on like wildfire, despite objections from the Puritans. As you light your pumpkin candle or give those pesky kids a handful of tooth-destroying candies, know that you’re maintaining a custom whose origins come from long ago and far away.

Happy Samhain!
