Meet Our Neighbors: Tom Montgomery

Meet long time Trinidad customer Tom Montgomery. Tom shops at Murphy’s Market almost every Saturday, buying food for he and his wife of 71 years, Doris.

Tom is a retired Humboldt County Superior Court judge that served from 1968-1987. Tom grew up in South East California and, like he says, “made my way up to the North Western part”. Tom was born in May of 1918 and recently celebrated his 100th birthday. Tom attended high school in Pasadena CA, then college at Stanford. He then graduated from Law School at UC Hastings after a brief break in the US Army to fight in World War II. After settling in Humboldt County in 1955, Tom and Doris continued to raise their children, a son and a daughter.

Tom and Doris’s son lives in Washington State and their daughter resides in Arcata.

Tom would like to thank Murphy’s Markets for always helping him out and being so friendly every time he comes in. Make sure to say hi to Tom next time you see him around!

‘Thank You’ Editor: Thank you so much for placing on the cover of your Nov. 8, 2018, edition the human rights issue of “#WeWillNotBeErased.”

The article was fair and very informative. It made me feel proud to be trans and to be represented in your well-thought-of literary Journal.

Narcissism Revisited Editor: You may recall that the Narcissistic Personality Disorder derives its name from the myth of Narcissus who fell in love with his own reflection in a pool of water (Mailbox, Nov. 15). But NPD is no myth. Signs and symptoms include a grandiose sense of self-importance; delusions of grandeur; need for constant praise and admiration; sense of entitlement, exploiting others without guilt or shame; demeans, intimidates, bullies or belittles others. NPD sufferers are often incapable of empathy and are resistant to changing their behavior toward others — even when it is a detriment to them.

Another way of viewing this is through Freud’s construct of the id, ego and superego. The id is the dark instinctual personality striving only to bring about satisfaction and pleasure. The ego is our surface personality, the one we show the world. The superego can be regarded as our conscience and inhibits the passions of the id. Think of the devil as the id sitting on one shoulder and the angel as the superego on the other, each trying to influence behavior. With NPD, the id usually wins and infiltrates the ego.

Think of our president’s advisors as his superego, urging: “Best not to say that or do this. Show empathy for those struggling with tragedy. Try not to have everything revolve around you. Don’t strike back at every perceived offense. Tone it down. Read the script. Act presidential.”

We know who and what is winning that battle of wills.

Edward “Buzz’ Webb, Mckinleyville

Go Green Editor: In the 1930s United States, facing economic crisis caused by banker speculation and labor unions under attack, our economy was saved by great Federal jobs programs — G.I. Bill, TVA and the New Deal safety net programs.

We need a Green New Deal to create millions of green jobs, move our country off fossil fuels and protect working people of all backgrounds.

Our current course of wealth inequality and environmental devastation is simply unsustainable and must change.

Voter Turndown Editor: The Nov. 15, 2018, NCJ article titled “Humboldt Sees Huge Turnout” contains a significant error.

According to the U.S. Census’ most recent population estimates as of July 1, 2017, there were 110,771 voting-age residents in Humboldt County (probably hundreds more today that have turned 18).

Therefore, the Humboldt County Registrar of Voters’ count of “54,198 votes cast” represents a 49 percent turnout, not the “69 percent” mistakenly reported.

George Clark, Eureka Editor’s note: While it is correct that just 49 percent of “voting-age residents” cast ballots in the November election, according to Nov. 9 estimates from the Humboldt County Elections Office, the turnout referenced in the article was the percentage of registered voters who participated in the election.

Poetic Editor: I thought this poem (“Life Coaching from an Ancient Redwood,” Nov. 15) was the finest you’ve run in a long time.

‘The Left’s Perversion’ Editor: The Left makes everything political; divide as much as possible. But In-and-Out burgers?

Much of the article (“In-N-Out in the Planning,” Oct. 13) dealt with the Christian owners and their donations to like minded people/ organizations. Yeah. OK. So? I guess some in NCJ’s readership needs to know a business owner’s religion and how he or she donates before a purchase but their every day must be hell. Religion, particularity Christianity, is dangerous to the Left. It tempts people with

Paradise For Rick Park, in memoriam: a vilanelle The Earth looks on with burning eyes As into chaos, death and dark Her children break from Paradise While hungry planes transect the skies Her heedless children speed and park The Earth looks on with burning eyes As prophets mew their futile cries In empty theatres, spurned and stark Her children flee from Paradise Though ice worlds melt, and oceans rise While drones and missiles seek their mark The earth looks on with burning eyes As Empire strives to vandalize The moral curve of King’s great arc Earths children break from Paradise And children wave their soft goodbyes As other species disembark Our Earth looks on with burning eyes Her children gone from Paradise.

a higher authority. The Left, who mistakenly assume everyone agrees with them, favor the socialist, big brother, government-controls-everything, group think approach.

Differences of opinion are healthy and vital in a free country so what’s behind the Left’s egotistical, “I’m right; you’re wrong … Everyone agrees with me” fantasy? These are the people of tolerance? When I hear of Humboldt State University students of color being scared/threatened by our area, I often wonder by who/what? Are kids getting beaten up? Are police reports being made? Or are their fears taught to them by politically motivated, identity driven activists through our higher education system?

The Left’s holy grail, diversity, is limited to a person’s skin color or sex and its activists teach people they’re victims of our horrible, racist, illegitimate, biased country. The Left’s perversion of diversity and our country isolates and divides; it doesn’t unite as it should.

Is describing the owners as a ‘conservative Christian family’ and who they donated to necessary in an article about a new business in town? Why is religion/donations discussed instead of the definition of “animal style?”

Or is this another example of the Left’s “tolerance and diversity” by politicizing a Christian owned business/ corporation?

In a recent Politico poll, respondents stated that the media, by 64 percent, was most to blame for the division within our country. That’s not good news for fair, unbiased, objective media like the NCJ. Rick Brennan, Eureka

tion, with bellies full of undigested snails.

Scientists studying the little mollusks have noted that, at least in this part of the world, their densities are highest in estuaries and lagoons. This may be due to the chemistry of the water — the mudsnails thrive in water that is high in calcium and relatively low in salt, which at least keeps them out of Humboldt Bay. It also seems to keep them from traveling far upstream, at least in densities high enough to cause ecological damage.

But the mudsnails can do a lot of harm in estuaries. In some parts of the country, they replace most of the biomass of the stream. Juvenile salmon live in estuaries while they grow and gain weight for their future life in the ocean. If they can’t survive in the estuaries, the species is in trouble.

To make matters even worse, there is no known way of eliminating the mudsnails.

Dumping poison into a waterway is never a good idea, nor is draining it, even where possible. Martha Volkoff, the environmental project manager of the Invasive Species Program of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, noted that snail populations often crash after reaching very high densities. However, the population crash could be the result of the mudsnails using up the algae that sustain them. How — and if — this will all play out is still unknown to biologists and fishery managers.

Scientists believe that the first mudsnails arrived in this country as an accidental import, like most other invasive plants and animals. They first showed up in 1987, in the Middle Snake River of Idaho. In California, they were first noted in Putah Creek, in Yolo and Solano counties, and near Owens Dry Lake in Inyo County. Now a United States Geological Survey map of invasive species shows findings scattered all over the state, with a huge cluster in the East Bay region of California. (They are also found in many other states across the nation.)

Here on the North Coast, they are found from Lake Earl in Del Norte County to Arcata. The latest finding — in October — was made along the Mad River, one at the boat launch near the mouth of the river and the other on the banks of a small public park owned by the Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District. So far, there is no sign of the critters having invaded the Mad River Hatchery, which is 8 miles farther upstream. The HSU hatchery was not so lucky and has been quarantined. Arcata city employees have also discovered the snails in Gannon and Jolly Giant sloughs.

Humans seem to be the chief vector for transporting the mudsnails from one waterway to another. According to a government report, New Zealand mudsnails may

be transported on fishing gear, on waders and boots, swimsuits and swimming toys and even by hunting dogs and horses.

Hikers, backpackers, horseback riders and bicyclists may inadvertently transfer the snail when encountering multiple stream crossings during their outings. The snails’ small size allows them to be carried in tiny crevices that might escape detection. The mudsnails have also been inadvertently distributed via live bait and bait containers.

Even personnel involved in monitoring projects, restoration activities and

other natural resource activities that cross watershed boundaries may transport New Zealand mudsnails to new water bodies in the same way. Mudsnails can live in moist environments near the edges of streams and therefore can also be picked up and moved by people who don’t even enter the water.

So far, authorities are combating the further spread of the mudsnails via warning signage. But nobody really knows how widespread the invasion is and Volkoff said that Fish and Wildlife does not have the

resources to check every waterway in the state. Instead, she said the agency relies on reports from smaller, local agencies — and by members of the public who notice strange little brown dots on anything that has touched a creek. l Elaine Weinreb is a freelance journalist.

She tries to re-pay the state of California for giving her a degree in environmental studies and planning (Sonoma State University) at a time when tuition was still affordable.

W

hen Eureka voters were preparing two years ago to vote on whether to change course on how they selected council members, they were meet with divergent views on what such a shift would mean to the city.

Those opposed to the ultimately successful Measure P predicted that a “true ward” system would severely curtail who has a say in electing city leaders, clearing a path for declining representation — with council members beholden only to their designated spheres of influence.

“As a result, the city would have five councilmembers answerable to the constituents of their respective wards and not to the citizens of the city as a whole,” the November of 2016 ballot argument against the measure read. “This may lead to more

infighting and be less likely to prioritize the good of the city over the good of their ward.”

Proponents held the opposite view, maintaining that having council members chosen by residents of each individual ward would open the door to a more diverse field of candidates better in tune with community needs who might otherwise have been unable to compete.

“In a true ward system, you vote for a representative for your neighborhood, you decide if you like what that person stands for, and if they will represent you well,” the pro Measure P statement read, adding that “regular working people who understand many of Eureka’s issues due to their first-hand experience can be shut out” by the cost of running in a citywide contest.

Now, as the dust settles on the city’s first ward-based election since the Prohibition era, it appears both sides were right to some extent: There were more candidates than any Eureka election in more than a decade — including two who promised not to raise or spend more than $2,000 — but money otherwise continued to flow into the races.

And, while it was inevitable that each of the victors would be elected by fewer votes this time around, the number was dramatically lower in Ward 1 than even detractors of the true ward system had predicted.

(The Humboldt County Elections Office is still in the process of counting an unprecedented number of ballots that came in on and after Election Day, with countywide turnout on the path to hitting close to 70 percent of registered voters.)

Moving forward, candidates and residents are likely to undergo a learning curve as they adjust to the new world order of ward-only Eureka council races, says Ryan Emenaker, a College of the Redwoods political science professor with a background in elections and electoral systems.

As one example, he points to the fact that candidates’ signs could be seen all over the city, not just in the wards where the individuals were running.

“It seems like there was a lot of crossover, that people have not really changed their behavior based on the system yet,” Emenaker says, adding some voters were likely surprised to find they could only vote for their ward’s seat rather than the previous practice of a citywide election.

“It’s probably a shock to a lot of the people who went to the ballot box.”

He says a shift in the interaction between constituents and their elected officials can be an offshoot of moving to ward-only but residents tend to “have a closer connection with the person that represents their ward” and conversely are less inclined to reach out other council members anyway.

“That may not happen right away in Eureka because people are so used to electing all the council members,” Emenaker says, adding that expectation is a two-way street for those who sit at the dais, with most still entrenched in a citywide approach to their position.

Before Measure P passed in 2016, Eureka used a combination of the most common methods — at-large and by-district — with a citywide vote for the five council members but each seat representing a specific geographical area, where the candidates were required to reside.

That year, council members had placed the decision of switching up the system

10 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Nov. 29, 2018 • northcoastjournal.com

before voters after then City Attorney Cyndy Day-Wilson brought the proposal forward, citing possible legal concerns under the California Voter Rights Act. At the time, Day-Wilson pointed to the fact that some California cities had been sued over claims that the at-large system disenfranchises minority voters, with many of the lawsuits settling out of court — in some cases for hefty amounts — and moving to district-based elections.

While Eureka is one of the smallest cities in the state to take on the approach, Emenaker says it’s not an unusual way for council members or their equivalents to be elected in other parts of the country.

In the end, Measure P was easily approved with 57.6 percent of the vote and the city charter was amended to have candidates elected in a ward-only system — starting now.

The mayoral post continues to be elected in a citywide vote.

This November’s election saw more Eureka candidates than any in recent memory — with the closest contender happening back in 2006, the last time all of the same wards saw contested races, when 11 candidates appeared on ballot.

The next heftiest ballot was in 2010 — when nine hopefuls threw their hats in the ring, although Lance Madsen ran unopposed for the Ward 5 seat that year.

As a side note, Ron Kuhnel — who ran for Ward 3 in both 2006 and 2010 — is the only candidate whose election bid outcome would have changed had the ward-only approached been in place when he was narrowly defeated by Jeff Leonard and again four years later by Mike Newman, according to a Journal survey of precinct returns.

But the extended field of 12 hopefuls in Eureka this year — so far — doesn’t appear to have been particularly engaging to the electorate, even when presented with clear choices for maintaining the status quo or changing the composition of the council.

The three council races saw just under 4,000 votes cast by the 8,581 registered voters in those wards, according to a Nov. 16 elections office update, the latest results available before the Journal went to press.

In the citywide race for mayor — which Susan Seaman won over fellow challengers Councilmember Heidi Messner and Michelle Constantine — 6,654 constituents had their say. That’s less than half of Eureka’s 14,720 registered voters, according to the most recent numbers.

By comparison, 8,731 votes were cast in the three-way mayor’s race back in 2006 and 8,723 were cast when another trio of candidates ran for the post in 2010. When the seat was last on the ballot, Frank Jager garnered 5,608 votes even while running

unopposed.

Ward 1 — despite four hopefuls and some large campaign chests — saw the least number of ballots cast in the city, with Leslie Castellano receiving 375 of 765 votes counted as of press time — far less than the dire prediction made by Measure P foes of a mere 900 people being able to select the winner. (Consider this: The most recent results have Castellano winning a council seat with the support of just 2.5 percent of the city’s registered voters.)

Her nearest challenger Anthony Mantova received 188 votes, while Hailey Lamb was next with 116 votes and Caroline Brooks rounded out the pack at 88 votes.

Meanwhile, Councilmember Natalie Arroyo, now in Ward 3, garnered 955 votes to return for another term and Bergel, now in Ward 5, also won reelection with 792 votes.

Arroyo’s opponents, John Fullerton and Jeannie Breslin, received 590 and 328 votes, respectively, while Bergel’s challenger Joe Bonino received 489.

Emenaker says there could be a few reasons why Ward 1 fell short in comparison at the ballot box, including the fact that there might simply be fewer registered voters who reside there — which is the case.

The wards’ boundaries, last done in 1976, were redrawn last year to evenly distribute the city’s population and each now range from 5,428 to 5,445 residents.

An analysis done by city staff as part of the process looked at a number of demographics of each possible scenario, including age, but not levels of voter registration.

Of the five wards, Ward 1 has one of the highest population of renters — 73 percent compared to 53 percent in Ward 2, 79 percent in Ward 3, 64 percent in Ward 4 and 51 percent in Ward 5 — and has the lowest “proportion of people over the age of 60” at 11 percent, according the city’s breakdown.

And while Ward 1 also has one of largest “relative proportion of ‘working age’ individuals (ages 20 to 60),” along with Ward 3, it also has the fewest registered voters — 2,073, according to a breakdown by the elections office.

In contrast, Ward 2 has 2,711 registered voters, Ward 3 has 3,739, Ward 4 has 3,428 and Ward 5 has 2,769.

Emenaker says the question of whether to take voter registration numbers into consideration when designating election districts is often a matter of contention.

Regardless of how many eligible voters were up for grabs, money was by no means off the table, although Measure P proponents had touted the ward-only approach as one way to level financial playing field in local elections.

That being said, the size of a campaign

chest didn’t always equate to a win this time around.

Castellano, for example, raised nearly $15,000 through Oct. 20, the latest campaign disclosure statement available, of which about $13,500 was in cash contributions and $333 was a loan. Mantova, meanwhile, brought in more than twice that amount at just under $29,500.

That’s almost exactly the amount of the money that was at play in 2010 when Councilmember Marian Brady successfully ran against then incumbent Larry Glass in Ward 1 before running unopposed four years later — if fact, she also took in nearly $30,000 compared to Glass’ almost $15,00 but, unlike Mantova, won the seat.

It was a similar story in Ward 3 and Ward 5 — where money, again, was not the deciding factor.

Despite having nearly $26,000, of which just over $11,000 was his personal money, Fullerton fell second to Arroyo, who raised $13,905, including a $100 loan from her campaign treasurer.

Breslin, meanwhile, had about $10,000 for her Ward 3 race, of which cash contributions comprised just over $9,000, including a $1,000 loan from her campaign treasurer.

For the same race back in 2014, Bergel (who lives in Ward 5 under the new boundaries) took the seat after from incumbent Mike Newman after amassing about $13,000 to his $21,400.

Now in Ward 5, Bergel accumulated $8,229 in cash for her reelection bid while Bonino brought in $12,711, including $880 he loaned to his campaign.

Only two candidates in Eureka — Lamb and Brooks in Ward 1 — limited their funds to below the $2,000 disclosure level.

Emenaker says that while, “overall, people with the most money tend to win,” he also notes the question long asked by political scientists: Does money chase the winner or does money create the winner?

He notes that the new smaller scale of the ward-only approach does make personal interactions with potential constituents more attainable, noting that is the only tried and true method for winning an election.

“Money doesn’t matter as much, that’s the theoretical benefit,” Emenaker says. “I think, over time, we will see that more and more in Eureka. I think people will start to realize that over time and candidates will get trained that, ‘Oh, the person who goes door to door wins.” l Kimberly Wear is the assistant editor and a staff writer at the Journal.

SpongeBob Creator, HSU Alum Hillenburg Dies at 57

S

tephen Hillenburg, the Humboldt State University graduate best known for creating the beloved animated world of SpongeBob SquarePants, has died. He was 57.

Hillenburg credited his time at HSU for nurturing his fascination with marine biology and love of art, which ultimately merged together in the colorful creatures of Bikini Bottom, including a young sponge who lived in a pineapple under the sea.

The series became the highest rated ever aired on Nickelodeon, with the media franchise growing to generate $13 billion in merchandising revenue for the network.

The series officially premiered in 1999 and went on to span 12 seasons and two feature-length films, the first of which Hillenburg wrote, produced and directed.

The television show won six Annie Awards, eight Golden Reels, 15 Kids Choice Awards and four Emmys.

In a nod to the role the university played in his success, Hillenburg and his wife Karen recently created the Stephen Hillenburg Marine Science Research Award Endowment at HSU with a $135,000 gift “to provide grant awards for student research projects in marine biology, ocean-

ography and marine fisheries,” according to a September release from HSU. It is said that Hillenburg, a natural resources planning and interpretation major who graduated in 1984, drew widely from the landscape and burger joints (aka Stars Hamburgers) of his college home in concocting aspects of his award-winning Nickelodeon show, such as the Krusty Krab, which is said to have been inspired

by Hillenburg’s time flipping burgers at Stars, or the Chum Bucket restaurant, which is rumored to be an undersea version of Toni’s 24 Hour Truck Stop.

In another Humboldt connection, Eureka native Sara Bareilles was nominated for a Tony Award as a member of the team credited for composing the score for SpongeBob SquarePants: The Musical.

Hillenburg announced last March that he had been diagnosed amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a neurodegenerative disease more commonly known as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease.

Crab deferred: The start of the North Coast’s commercial Dungeness crab season has been delayed until at least Dec. 16 due to “poor crab meat quality test results,” according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. More tests are tentatively scheduled to take place around the region Dec. 1. If the conditions remain poor, the department could delay the season’s start an additional month.

Canada Comes Knocking

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

Chemistree also grabbed headlines this summer when it purchased almost 10 acres of land in Desert Hot Springs’ cannabis cultivation zone for $1.23 million and announced plans to erect more than 200,000 square feet of greenhouses across three facilities.

But Chemistree isn’t the only Canadian company sniffing around the North Coast cannabis industry.

CordovaCann, a corporation based in Toronto, announced Oct. 31 that it had agreed to a $6.2 million deal in Covelo in northern Mendocino County, under which the company purchased almost 300 acres of land and a 16,000-square-foot processing facility. The company plans to begin cultivating in 164,000 square feet of greenhouse space on the property beginning early next year.

If CordovaCann rings a bell, it should.

The corporation announced back in March that it had entered into a memorandum of understanding with Humboldt Healthcare LLC to purchase a majority stake in the company, which is itself a subsidiary of Emerald Family Farms LLC. Under the terms of that agreement, CordovaCann paid Humboldt Healthcare $100,000 to retain the option to either purchase the entire company — and its assets, which include a more than 100,000-square-foot processing facility — for $8 million or a 51-percent interest for $4.08 million.

While the memorandum was initially only slated to remain in place for up to 120 days as CordovaCann assessed whether to go through with the purchase, a company prospectus released earlier this month indicates it will “remain in effect until the agreement is terminated by either party.”

So what’s this all mean? It’s hard to say. But one thing that seems certain is that while local farmers are struggling to make ends meet and local retailers are complaining of declining sales receipts amid fears of a post-legalization recession, a couple of the bigger names in Canadian cannabis are working to leverage big investments in the Emerald Triangle.l Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor.

anadian companies are starting to show a lot of interest in North Coast cannabis.

On Nov. 27, Vancouver-based Chemistree Technology Inc. announced that it has entered into a “strategic partnership” with an unnamed cannabis processing company based in Arcata.

In a press release, the company announced that the partnership will see Chemistree loan the processor $450,000 and a still-to-be-negotiated additional line of credit to expand the business, including the purchasing of new equipment and improvements to the processing facility. Chemistree, a publicly traded company, has also agreed to give the processor’s principal owner 100,000 of its common shares.

“This is a great advancement for Chemistree,” company President Karl Kottmeier said in the release. “Not only is the processor a highly regarded service provider in the Humboldt cannabis industry, with deep relationships with local cultivators, we believe they are also primed for growth in their sector.

We believe that Chemistree can provide capital and management depth to rapidly expand the processor’s business, both in the local Humboldt area, across the state of California and ultimately into new jurisdictions across the United States where legal cannabis processing and product development is in formative stages. Chemistree will also work with the processor to purchase cannabis biomass on a proprietary basis and process that biomass to ultimately be sold as a Chemistree or Sugarleaf branded product.”

According to its website, Chemistree’s strategy is to acquire and develop vertically integrated cannabis companies, infusing them with the cash to expand quickly. In Washington, the company purchased the Sugarleaf brand, which had developed a reputation for producing high-quality cannabis after its head grower, Jason Flynn, won consecutive Cannabis Cup People’s Choice Awards for its strains Presidential Kush and White 99, which boast THC levels of up to 32 percent.

With Chemistree’s help, Sugarleaf expanded and is now sold in dozens of dispensaries throughout Washington.

OVERALL WINNER CHO SEN

BY NCJ

Flash Fiction 2018

No One Should Have Mayonnaise In the midst of a visit from out of state, my older charismatic brother burst into the living room from my kitchen and declared, “no one should have mayonnaise in their home.” It was a comment on my weight.

As usual, I received his judgment in silence, even as my thoughts screamed in defense, “It’s low-fat mayo, dammit!” His words rang in my head for years, through The Zone diet, the SlimFast liquid diet, and Atkins.

We didn’t speak much. Until I received news of his passing, I had no idea of his addiction to painkillers.

George Inotowok, Eureka The writer has managed to portray a family dynamic in all its comedy and pathos. The narrator accepts judgement in silence, defends him/herself ubterbalkly, lives with the imposed “should” — and discovers after the fact the brother’s own demon. Funny and moving. — Jennifer McFadden and Nancy Short

Fourteen Candles I was walking the beagle in Bowne Park when total darkness hit. No streetlights, houselights or traffic lights. The dog sensed danger and sniffed the early evening air. The full moon became less heavenly, more ominous. Eastern European neighbors came out, surveyed the sky for missiles and warplanes.

Back inside, taper candles dimly lit our kitchen. A scratchy-sounding transistor radio described unexplained power loss for thousands of miles. No TV or phone service. Mom placed her chocolate cake on the kitchen table. Fourteen flickering

birthday candles. “Make a wish.” I wished we knew where Dad was.

Neil Tarpey, Eureka This exquisite gem kicks off with a bang, shrouding the city and family into an unsettling darkness. The twist at the end is that none of them know where the father is, which pitches the piece into even greater uncertainties. — David Holper

Dream Island Basking in the shimmering light, sound of the waves, and music in the distance, this timeless place feels like heaven. The stopover has rejuvenated but a new mission is planned for distant shores: skills to develop, lessons to learn, meeting friends old and new, all the while the give and take of settling of old debts. A mothership builds a custom craft suited to my needs, abilities and history. Pray my compass always keep me safely pointed homeward. I’m off — bright lights, a cry, a child is born into the earthly realm.

Jim Bilderback, Fortuna I loved the way the author led you into thinking this was a journey into outer space and then revealed it was the birth (rebirth?) of a human child. The term “mothership” was especially apt. I found more to ponder each time I reread it. — JoAnn Bauer

The Deep, Dead South

Illustraion by Jacqui Langeland

G

ot time for a tale? Just a quickie? Sure you do, especially if it’s only 99 words. This year contributors spun miniature yarns rife with family drama, internal battles, faith, space travel and, as always, murder. (Why so murder-y, Humboldt?) All that wrapped up in tight nuggets of text you could cover with one hand, just like this paragraph here. Our judges — Booklegger owners Nancy Short and Jennifer McFadden, author and College of the Redwoods English professor David Holper and retired children’s librarian JoAnn Bauer — labored over their choices, all of which you can read here, starting with this year’s champ.

— Jennifer Fumiko Cahill

Pa left me this swampy land when he bit the dust. It was all mine. I wasn’t sure if some kinda voodoo spell kept intruders out, but the outside world finally invaded the day I found that bloated, naked body bobbin’ in the brown river. It was caught between two jagged rocks that jutted up like them teeth of some kinda river monster. Gotta admit, I had the urge to dislodge that body with a strong branch and send it on its way, but I didn’t. Now people are askin’ questions and I hate people, and I hate questions.

Ryan Hazen, Arcata The well-chosen details and matter-of-fact voice of this relatable misanthrope with a conscience had us more interested in him or her than the mystery of the body in the river — that’s saying something. Not that we’re going to go poking our noses and asking questions. — NCJ

Mania

Say it Loud, Say it Clear

You’re running at full speed, not getting tired. As you sprint across the street, you see an oncoming car and stop it with your mind.

The man driving yells at you, you flash him your tits. What is he going to do, call the police? Let him try. No one can stop you. You got the gold star on Mario Kart and are invincible.

You climb the stars at your high school, breaking down the door to the roof.

You survey your kingdom, shaking with energy. You jump off, expecting to land on your feet.

You don’t.

Christina Dunbar, Arcata

First, the text.

“Treatment going good.”

Then the picture.

It doesn’t match his memories.

He can’t send one back.

He can hardly pick up the phone to check.

Of all the times to think of drives with Dad …

He laughed at it, secretly. A boy recognizing kitsch: Mike + The Mechanics. “The Living Years.”

Her hair is gone.

They gave her a wig.

Another one: “Am being able to eat more foods lately.”

Josue Valdez, Arcata

This second-person narrative is one of few lyric pieces this year, focusing on the intense, exhilarating feelings of a manic swing and its destructive end with equal parts humor and panic. — NCJ

This story works well on several simultaneous levels: it’s both the interplay of tex-

THE BEST DRINK SPECIALS IN TOWN! ting, photos, memory — so we encounter the tragedy of an aging mother and a son who recognizes her decay — but it’s also the silences of what he cannot say, which we are privy to. — David Holper

True Story Through the sleet, the curbside donation bin was illuminated in the headlights. She stretched her arm in as far as she could.

Fingertips brushed fabric, just out of reach. Heart accelerating with anticipation, she levered her torso up, legs dangling, and maneuvered both arms inside. Hands clutched her prize. As she inched back, her weight snapped the door shut, pinning her arms. Feet scrabbling futilely for purchase, she screamed in pain. She screamed for help; she screamed at her stupidity. Her frosted breath came in gasps, then came not at all. At the curb, her Mercedes idled, heater blasting.

Julie Solo, McKinleyville There is an expansiveness to this story despite the 99-word constraint. The author seems to have plenty of time to paint the picture of the scene and the movements of the character. It pivots on the last sentence revealing a twist that made me go back to the beginning and reread it, rethinking the character’s motive. — Jennifer McFadden and Nancy Short

What the Helsing?

The snarling grew deafening. Claws and fangs tore chunks from the wooden door.

Splinters flew at the terrified men. The old professor yelled to his new assistant.

“Fritz! Quickly! The bag I told you to fetch.

They’ll be on us in a minute!”

“Here, sir!”

“The werewolves won’t be able to —” The professor’s horrified face gazed at the bag of garlic and wooden stakes, instead of the gun with the silver bullets.

“The bag with a W is for werewolves, the bag with the V is for vampires! Idiot!

How could you confuse them?”

“Vhy? Vat’s da matter?”

Craig Kurumada, Arcata There is an immediacy to this situation that starts one’s heart beating faster and

then there’s the punch line with its comic relief. I just enjoyed the silliness. — JoAnn Bauer

So I Thought That summer night I was eight. We were packed into the Chevy Blazer, my sister and I asleep in the back. Kenny Rogers’ Greatest Hits on the long drive up the lonely I-5, L.A. to Eugene. I awoke and sat up to see dad’s LAPDog baseball cap tilted toward the warm starry air of the opened window, head in hand. The warm breeze on my face, I joined my dad’s driving thoughts. For moments, I was all his, his whole world. He told me to go back to sleep. I was let down; I wanted to share his silence.

Amantha Wood, Eureka Another small heartbreak that moved us. No action takes place here but there’s an internal shift and the narrator — or at least his or her relationship with the father — seems changed by the moment.

We all have moments like this in our memories but we can’t all articulate the how and why of them. — NCJ

Untitled “Bacon and eggs. Eggs and bacon.

Every morning for the last fifteen years it’s been the same damn thing. Bacon and eggs. Don’t you have any imagination? Can’t you cook anything else?”

“Yes,” she answered, as he fell from his chair grasping his chest.

“This morning I added a little something extra.”

Ray Slater, Penn Valley Like a well-told joke, we hear the nagging husband and sense he’s been complaining to his wife this way for years. Of course, the ironic twist is the wife gets the last word both in speech and deed. — David Holper

Untitled #99 This is perfect, having a limit of just 99 words, because often when I start I have no idea of my word count and tend to go way over since I get lost in some idea or other and forget who I’m writing for or indeed why I’m writing, which can be a real problem, especially when I’m writing

for publication and — I read this somewhere — you’re supposed to keep in mind the whole time who your audience is, which in my case I don’t know, I can only guess which sort of makes the whole thing academic and Barry Evans, Eureka

The Devil is in the Detail I stuck the backpack shovel into the soil.

Done. I wiped my sweaty brow. Suddenly, I heard growling. I spotted a cougar, who started chasing me toward a cliff. Jump or be mauled? I leapt. Dense bushes broke my 25-foot fall and I rolled onto a dirt patch. Yellow jackets swarmed out of their ground hive and stung repeatedly. Panicking, I stumbled through the woods and plunged into a river. The freezing water swept me through churning rapids and, miles downstream, spewed me onto a pebbly beach. I exhaled deeply. Then realized, “Shit, the shovel. They’ll find her grave.”

Neil Tarpey, Eureka

Leaving Denver Driving from Denver to L.A., somewhere in the desert night I picked up Vin Scully’s familiar soothing voice. Suddenly something hit the hood of my VW squareback and four legs went spinning off into the brush. Shaken, I pulled over and stared up into the starry nothingness breathing heavily and thought of my sleeping daughter left behind, my cheating wife. I found the small deer and buried it. Back on the road the Dodgers were winning. I wanted a beer bad. It was like coming home from Vietnam all over again.

It was the day of each month when the Virgin Mary, through her statue in a South American Catholic church, helped people find jobs.

The devout would buy a bunch of flowers from young girls outside the church for, let’s say, two coins. Then they’d lay the flowers at the foot of the statue as an offering — bribe — with their prayer.

After a few such offerings, a priest would gather the bouquets, making room for more, carry them to the back door of the church, and sell them to the flower girls for, let’s say, one coin.

Everyone benefits.

Peter Mehren, Pacific Grove Is this cynicism or an example of an immediate answer to prayer? There’s certainly economic benefit, at least to one group of indigents. Reading this, I felt like I was transported to that place and stood witness. — JoAnn Bauer

It was finally my turn to hold the baby.

My heart swelled as I drew him in; kissing his forehead, dancing, singing softly in his brand-new ear.

I briefly panicked that the infatuated way I was acting made it obvious. We hadn’t told anyone.

I swung around dancing. Everyone was distracted, except for my love. He leaned against a wall, looking at me as if he was seeing me for the first time. He smiled softly.

I wondered if he was feeling the same thing I was.

Christina Dunbar, Arcata “Family Reunion” is a gentle, hopeful story about a secret. The action is subtle, holding both potent excitement and tenderness. — Jennifer McFadden and Nancy Short

It’s a Small World After All True story. My dad escaped to New York City shortly after the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. Recently, he gave a presentation in Connecticut about his experiences during the revolution. He talked of gunfire, tanks, being wanted by the police, ending with his risky nighttime escape across a river into Austria with a stranger. Afterwards, a man came up to ask my dad if they knew each other. It slowly dawns on them that they had crossed that river together 61 years ago. And now their paths crossed again. Who said you can’t step into the same river twice?

Attila Gyenis, Bridgeville

I remember when a Hungarian refugee girl enrolled in our elementary school and we learned about the uprising. I appreciate the way this anecdote captures a moment in history and brings it around to current times. The last sentence turns a cliché into a moving reality. — JoAnn Bauer

Dante A rescued, junkyard pup would now be companion to my sweet dog Goldie. Dante yawned his displeasure. Goldie stalked her new “toy.” Tails up, they launched at each other: “play fighting” some say.

Suddenly ill, she passed.

I faced the facts: I disliked Dante. He was not Goldie. Nowhere near. In every way opposite. Reflecting on this disdain for him, the unfair comparisons to our Goldie, I felt a twinge of compassion. Eventually, love?

Eyes dilated, Dante contemplated his rank in the pack as he watched me clean his muddy paws, my face close to his. He yawned.

Elaine Johnson, TKTK We appreciated that this story looks not at the grief over the beloved dog but at the more complicated — and harder to admit — disappointment with the one left behind. It’s all too easy to imagine the same dynamic among humans. — NCJ l

The cream cheese and blackberry jammy Blackout.

Hum Plate Roundup Breakfast clubbing

Waffling in Rio Dell Pull up to the Root 101 Nursery (770 Wildwood Ave., Rio Dell) and instead of soil you may smell waffles. Tucked in the corner of the shop is the Wildwood Waffles counter, behind which steams a trio of busy waffle irons.

Puffed, crisp and moist inside, the waffles come straight off the cast iron and folded around a bevy of fillings you may need time to consider. The Blackout ($5) is a good start, slathered with cream cheese and blackberry jam from Mad River Farms.

A flurry of powdered sugar finishes it off but the finished product is not terribly sweet and exactly as melty as you hope.

For another $2, toss on bacon strips and hit all the food groups.

Those struggling with the desire for chicken and waffles and the need to hit the road can order up the SoHum ($10), a hefty handful of breaded chicken (not deep fried but still tender, savory and, hey, organic) with maple syrup and powdered sugar. It’s tempting to throw bacon at this one, too, but a dollop of tangy jalapeño jelly, also from Mad River Farms, is the pro move.

forever, the truck stop swapped out its humble decor for glass, stainless steel and enough barn wood to make an actual barn.

On a pre-Thanksgiving visit to Toni’s 24-hour Restaurant (1901 Heindon Road), there was a bit of a pile-up at the counter, where customers in line to order and pick up heavy pans of berry cobbler backed up into folks coming in the door. Credit cards are now accepted so if cash on hand was the only thing that was holding you back from the comically long list of shake flavors, beware.

But she’s still the same old girl on the inside, serving heaping plates of legit truck stop/carhop classics. That means those three little words that make one’s heart flutter: breakfast all day. The linguiça cheese omelet ($10.49) is a thin blanket of egg draped over fried, spool-sized hunks of the smoky, red Portuguese sausage. The hash browns on the side are pressed flat and crispier than you can ever achieve at home so let go of that goal and enjoy.

The chicken fried steak ($11.99) is homemade, the beef pounded with a tenderizer just shy of turning to sausage, coated and fried to a salty, peppery crust and doused in creamy, lumpy sausage gravy. Not a bad idea to order it with buttery, thin sheet of scrambled eggs cooked on the flat-top grill, those hash browns and a cut biscuit that’s more cakey than flaky, like a savory scone.

There on the top shelf of the fancy new dessert case are the cupcakes ($2.38).

STUF’T POTATO TRADITIONAL GERMAN & AUSTRIAN CUISINE

Brie and blueberry pancakes get a drizzle of maple syrup.

Photo by Jennifer Fumiko Cahill

Smaller and prettier than the big plastic-wrapped ones that first hooked us, they remain just as tasty. Fluffy chocolate and vanilla buttercreams top classic devil’s food and give good nostalgia. The cookies and cream one — both in cake and frosting — hits that Oreo craving but is strictly for the sweetest of teeth.

Meant to brie Artful charcuterie boards spilling over with brie and fruit are the ephemeral mandalas of the food world. Brie and berry jam show up together on fancy grilled cheese and burger menus all the time.

And you can’t shimmy a buckwheat crepe out of a pan without someone tossing a slab of brie onto it. So why has it taken so long for brie to show up in my pancakes?

I speak here in terms of both the breadth of history and my own flapjack-consuming career, which is long and storied.

At Wildflower Café (1604 G St., Arcata), you can order brie and blueberry pancakes and join in my forehead slapping ($10.50).

The yellow cakes, bubbly and browned, have hunks of brie, rind and all, folded into the batter with whole blueberries. Of course, there are savory, melted bits working their rich charm against the berries and the syrup — real maple, bless them — and here and there at the edges are dark, crispy sun flares of cheese that have made contact with the griddle. Picking them off and dragging them through the pooling syrup may be what you’ve been missing all this time. l Share your Hum Plate tips with Jennifer Fumiko Cahill, arts and features editor at the Journal.

It’s a Mad, Mad World Out There Dell’Arte’s Around the World in 80 Days

teamships and railroads ushered in an era of mad adventuring in the 19th century, so it’s no surprise that Phileas Fogg, a gentleman of means, decides to circumnavigate the globe. The difference is that Fogg, a member of London’s progressive Reform Club, has been challenged by the club’s president to complete his journey in no more than 80 days or be banished from the club forever.

You may think you know the rest of the story but this is the Dell’Arte Holiday Show version of Jules Verne’s Around the World in 80 Days. And Dell’Artians do things a little differently.

Equipped with little more than £20,000 cash in a bag, an obsession with timekeeping and the firm belief that “an Englishman never backs down from a wager,” Fogg (a delightfully Poirot-esque Jordan Rosin) meticulously plots out his itinerary. To support him in his endeavor, he hires the appropriately named Jean Passepartout (an acrobatic tour-de-force from Jesse March), whose primary talent is the ability to make a perfect cup of tea at the drop of a hat.

The pair adopts — or is adopted by, it’s never quite clear who’s in charge of whom — the young Aouda (a worldly, wise Cleo DeOrio) who always knows the right way to go. But at every turn, they must avoid Miss Priscilla Fix (Kathryn Cesarz, channel-

ing a manic Mary Poppins) who has been charged by her employers back at the Reform Club to prevent Fogg from completing his journey at all costs.

A multi-talented traveling ensemble (Evan Grande, Idit Kischinovsky, Alfredo Romero, and Melanie Schauwecker) morphs into trains, boats, even monkeys and elephants, complete with sound effects, and adds local color at every stage of the journey. While all four skillfully change costumes, characters and nationalities at a breathtaking pace, a few cameo performances stand out. Schauwecker is a wonderfully imperious president of the Reform Club. Kischinovsky is an impressive height- and language-challenged sasquatch (of course our travelers pass through Humboldt County). Romero excels as a bureaucratic Indian policeman and Grande’s jungle monsters are masterpieces of creepy exotica.

Around the World in 80 Days is a madcap hour of fun that invites audience participation in true panto fashion. The journey is seamlessly stitched together by producing artistic director Michael Fields, assisted by Kaitlyn Samuel Rosin. Sound design and original music are by Brian Post and the cast, with atmospheric lighting design by Michael Foster, technical direction

by James Hildebrandt and scenographic design by Lynnie M. Horrigan.

The show will tour throughout Northern California through Dec. 16, with stops in Orick, Arcata, McKinleyville, Eureka, Klamath, Bridgeville, Scotia, Point Arena, Redway, Hoopa, Trinidad and Cave Junction, Oregon. A special performance at Pelican Bay State Prison in Crescent City is also planned. Call 667-3631 or visit www. dellarte.com.

Art Beat Delight Your Senses

The Basket and the Blade Robert Benson at Piante Gallery

By Gabrielle Gopinath artbeat@northcoastjournal.com

I

“

have reiterated tendencies, certain go-to forms,” Robert Benson said. “It’s like with any artist: You get caught up in your own style. With me, it’s the tension between angles and curves.”

The trope has been evident “forever” in art made by Indigenous people of far northwestern California, as Benson, a Tsnung’we elder, observed. In his new exhibition at Piante Gallery, curving surfaces alternate with faceted points in sculptures and paintings. These forms show up on blades and baskets: utilitarian objects that are invested with metaphoric significance within traditional northwest California cultures.

The space is dominated by “Burden Basket and Burdens,” a huge open-weave basket of traditional Indigenous design, built on a warp of hazel wands and used, as the name indicates, to carry burdens.

Those burdens make an appearance as grotesque wall reliefs.

Burden baskets, Benson said, were ubiquitous among Native peoples of this region. Distinguishing features of this utilitarian form include large size, open weave, plain design and a built-in loop that allows the basket to be attached by a line around the wearer’s forehead. “You could put 50 to 75 pounds in these burden baskets and a little old lady could carry the load this way. ... It’s a form that permits surprising weights to be carried by people who are not buff in the traditional sense.”

Benson’s basket is unfinished. Even the toughest little Hupa, Karuk or Yurok old lady would be hard pressed to budge it once laden, thanks to its monumental scale. It has been scaled up, one assumes, because supersized is the only scale that seems appropriate for the cartage of 21st century Americans’ psychic woes. Burdens of the mind and spirit take shape in crudely carved faces hacked from burls and pine knot that cluster on the wall facing the basket, leering and grimacing like a pack of demons at bay.

“It had been in the back of my mind,

Benson sitting among his pieces at Piante gallery.

that I would like to weave a basket,” Benson explained. He knew he would need a supply of highly specific natural materials in order to do so — primarily green, springy hazel wands used by traditional basket weavers to form the basket’s warp, the stiff vertical shafts around which the flexible weft is twined. This summer he was hiking along a watershed near Willow Creek when, suddenly, the materials presented themselves.

“I was in a hazel grove, surrounded by so much hazel as far as the eye could see. And it was like the hazel spoke to me,” he continued, chuckling. “I swear to God, it was like the hazel said: ‘Let’s do this!’ As though it were issuing a challenge.”

Benson labored along with artist Becky Evans, his wife and sometimes collaborator, at the task of weaving unwieldy 10foot hazel wands into a matrix. Technical challenges did not fail to manifest. “There are more than 100 of the warp sticks that go around to form the vertical ribs of the basket and it took five to eight minutes just to peel each of them. So I had this idea that we would just (make a basket) any old way but Becky wouldn’t let me,” he recalled. “She said we had to do it the traditional way, by building from a central base.” That way the outcome would be a monumental, scaled-up replica of a traditional Karuk, Yurok or Hupa production.

Scalar exaggeration also plays a role in “Blade,” a king-size reproduction of the blades used in ceremonial observances.

While those blades are made by flaking obsidian, this one is carved from a 6-foot slab of Douglas fir. Adze marks glint along its surface. Wood grain traces a lateral current from one end to the other. Black lines move the eye along the bias and a leading edge of cobalt blue recalls the effect of a Steller’s jay feather seen in raking light.

The Yurok story about the origin of obsidian blades posits that the first blade swam upriver like a salmon and had to be caught. Here, the fish-like aspect of the laterally flattened torpedo shape is made more evident through the eye-lev-

el hang. Seeing from this vantage point brings the form’s innate complexity into view; it unites swelling volumes with its hard-edged facets in a way that seems to defy logic. You get some sense of why Indigenous peoples of this region would think of the form as sacred and how ritual display of especially large obsidian blades became a central feature of the locally practiced world renewal ceremony known as the Jump Dance.

“In the Jump Dance today, the dancers cross in the middle, raising obsidian blades to show them off,” Benson said. “But allegedly, back in the day, that’s not how the dance went. Back then they would clash the blades together and the blades might make a spark — recreating the origin of the world in miniature. Because that’s how the traditional stories explain the origin of the world: Two flints collide and give off sparks. If the spark happened, that would mean the ceremony was done right.”

Once the 6-foot plank had been cut from the fallen Douglas fir he’d discovered and retrieved from National Forest Service land, Benson turned to a work in his collection for inspiration. This was a drawing of a blade made in 1986 by Charlie Burns, a Yurok elder from this area who had been involved as a dancer in the mid-1980s restoration of the ancient Jump Dance ceremonies. Benson reconnected with Burns, an old acquaintance, and proposed a collaboration — the two would work together to carve and paint the sculpture.

Burns’ detailed, boldly graphic rendering of two obsidian blades hangs adjacent to the carving it inspired. ● Robert Benson’s art will be at Piante Gallery on 620 Second St., Eureka, through Dec. 15. For more information contact (707) 599-7495 or www.piantegallery.com.

There will be an artist’s talk at the gallery on Saturday, December 8 at 2 pm.

Animal Instincts

955 Main St., Fortuna (707) 725-5546

I

am writing this in my living room on my couch with a large Italian mastiff snoring like a Sardinian sow pig behind me. She doesn’t mean any offense and, in fact, Grinza is a sweet dog, stinkiness notwithstanding. She’s better company than most people, if I am being honest. I mention her because she is a simple animal, invested in simple joys and pure in expression. I would like to be more like her and reaching her state of unencumbered enjoyment is something that has crossed my mind more than a few times recently. How can I shed my overly aware — and overrated — humanity in favor of a state of naked liminal purity? How can I shelve the grief and erotic sentiment of a boring biped in favor of purely animal galloping?

The short answer is: I can’t. I am sewn into this serious skin tighter than Naugahyde on a Volvo seat. It’s the mortal coil we have been talking about for centuries now. However, like the shadow of the fourth dimensional shape that Carl Sagan teased us with in Cosmos, I can see a glimmer of hope out there for those of us stuck in the human ditch.

Music. Music is a better spiritually elevating agent than any other human-engineered device. And live music is just that much better.

Use it and have a sweet week.

Over at The Alibi at 11 p.m., local wiggly spaghetti western noodlers Opossum Sun Trail meet up with some of Sonoma County’s finest psychedelic live masters Samvega, who have already impressed this writer at the same venue in shows past.

Just $5 gets you in the door and that’s a steal for the ability to come and go and see these two rad bands.

trio that has forged a dedicated path borne of ’90s DIY DNA cred in spite of all surrounding cultural climate changes and that is something to admire. Tonight you can find them at 8 p.m. at the Siren’s Song with another trio, Los Angeles’ rock mavens Potty Mouth, as well as local classic ghoulies The Monster Women. This show will likely be a proper whiz-banger for those of you who like fuzzy stringed music ($10).

Saturday

Tuesday

There’s a Toys for Tots benefit metal concert at the Manila Community Center at 7 p.m. this evening. ($10). This “Mosh for Tots” event will feature cash and prize raffles, as well as sets by the Yreka Castlevania-influenced Chains of Belmont and at least two other bands whose names I can’t properly read because their logos look like gravel-fractured windshield damage on the promo flyers. C’mon guys, advertise your shit better.

Later at 8 p.m. at Fulkerson Hall, you will find a recital by the HSU Calypso Band, Percussion Ensemble and World Percussion Group, which I understand (in addition to the expected Caribbean fare) will feature music from Ghana ($10, $5 students, seniors, children).

Sunday

Local players Smooth Weirdos and Wet Spot link up tonight at Blondies at 8 p.m. to jam out and support a band I have written about here before in deference to their solid musicianship and truly gross name. Shake the Baby Til the Love Comes Out is a New York duo that plays a tight and impressive post-noise sort of sound under an unfortunate moniker. Ugh. Anyway, a suggested $5 donation will allow you to form a new and better opinion of the group’s sound, despite its name.

Monday Oklahoma-born, Tacoma, Washington-settled Skating Polly is a post-grunge

The Marías are a jazz fusion psychedelia act from Los Angeles who in its two years of existence has managed to develop a dreamy soundtrack that kisses the back of your ears reverently at a sunset beachhead mass. This is beautiful music for all of you beautiful people around here. Tonight they are playing a show at The Depot, which is free to Humboldt State University students and $10 for the rest of us dreamers. Don’t miss this if you can help it.

Wednesday Come on down to the Bayside Grange tonight at 8 p.m. for an evening of flamenco dancing and music. Pasajera is the baby of Seattle-based dancer Sarah Fuentes, who, along with guitarist Pedro Cortes and percussionist/dancer Jose Moreno, presents a contemporary take on the wonderful world of classical Spanish dance and song. General admittance is $20, with VIP seats going for $34, while children and students can enjoy the show for $8 and $15 respectively. ● 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.

Widows

Settling Debts Widows and Creed 2

By John J. Bennett

filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

WIDOWS. When an artist arrives at a mastery of his or her form, the resulting work sometimes also highlights the masterful efforts of fellow contributors. This is truer in cinema than in most other media, of course, founded as it is on necessary collaboration. Some directors would deny this, perhaps arguing that their role as curator and overseer of the creative enterprise puts them at the top of the artistic food chain, that it is chiefly the director’s influence on the collaborators that creates the unity of vision on screen. While there is certainly some truth in that notion (art by committee might make for a noble experiment but is unlikely to produce anything of lasting value or true resonance), I think the best directors are quick to credit their collaborators. A good director hires a costume designer, for example, because he or she will be a good fit and elevate the project, not because he or she can be completely controlled or bent to the other’s will.

The great directors excel at managing a team while maintaining clarity of vision and Steve McQueen is one of them.

Widows is a triumph of his mastery of the collaborative form.

Maybe because McQueen works constantly in service of story, rather than in service of his own sense of style, his movies could be accused of being aesthetically neutral. Not every frame in a McQueen movie is recognizable as such, as opposed to Wes Anderson or even Quentin Tarantino. But to my eye this is because he is so closely guarding the truth of the story he tells and is simultaneously able to let the creatives with whom he works put forth their best. When a movie succeeds this way it feels substantial, like some gorgeous piece of industrial design, built from precisely machined, perfectly assembled components to become something much greater than the sum of its parts.

This is true of Widows in every element of its construction: an ingenious screenplay by McQueen and Gillian Flynn (adapted from a 1980s BBC miniseries

by Lynda La Plante); exquisite editing by Joe Walker; an ominously atmospheric original score by Hans Zimmer; note-perfect costuming by Jenny Eagan and set decoration by Elizabeth Keenan. Really, all

artistic departments rise to the occasion but listing every person’s name involved would take up the rest of the column.

The movie feels to me like the result of a group of deeply talented, hardworking artists working toward a vision, rather than a singular one of a singular creator and it’s all the better for it.

In Chicago, the robbery crew led by Harry Rawlings (Liam Neeson), finally misses a step, their getaway van shot to shit

by SWAT and blown up with them inside.

Bad enough but the murderous brothers Manning, Jamal and Jatemme (Bryan Tyree Henry and Daniel Kaluuya, respectively), were the victims of the robbery gone bad, and stand $2 million poorer for it. This in the midst of Jamal’s fledgling campaign for an alderman’s seat in his district. Said seat has been held uncontested for decades by the Mulligan family, most recently Tom (Robert Duvall), with son Jack (Colin Farrell) the heir apparent. It’s bad timing. Jamal, with Jatemme as his mercenary side made manifest, informs Rawlings’ widow Veronica (Viola Davis) that she must shoulder the debt and repay it in full within one month.

Veronica comes into possession of her late husband’s job notes and recruits Linda (Michelle Rodriguez) and Alice (Elizabeth Debicki), whose husbands died working with Harry, to pull off the crew’s next job.

There’s quite a lot more to it than that, of course, but why spoil it? Suffice it to say Widows does everything and does it all flawlessly. It’s a pulse-pounding action caper, an examination of the role/plight of women and people of color in contemContinued on next page »

porary America, of Chicago as flashpoint and microcosm for everything right and dreadfully wrong and continuously burning in this country. All of that and more.

And it’s acted by an unparalleled ensemble cast of actors who could each steal every scene in which they appear, but instead work together to achieve something greater. R. 128M. BROADWAY, FORTUNA, MILL CREEK.

CREED 2. I haven’t left enough room here for this sequel but the box office numbers seem to indicate everybody’s seeing it anyway. As well they should, it being a fine expansion and refinement of the characters and themes introduced in Creed (2015).

Adonis Johnson (Michael B. Jordan) has arrived: He takes the title belt, gets the girl, plans a move to Los Angeles to advance both their careers, has a baby on the way. But in Ukraine, a monster waits.

Viktor Drago (Florian “Big Nasty” Munteanu) has trained his entire life to exact vengeance for his father Ivan’s (Dolph Lundgren) fall from grace following his defeat at the hands of Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone). This, of course, following the elder Drago’s killing of Apollo Creed in the ring. It’s a lot of history and most of it 30-plus years old.

Adonis accepts junior Drago’s challenge.

It doesn’t go particularly well and sends our hero into a long dark night of the soul. And then, of course, into a training montage.

None of what happens in Creed II is particularly surprising but it’s carried off with an endearing, perfectly balanced combination of emotional authenticity, bombast and skill that had me alternately on the verge of tears and stifling the impulse to jump out of my seat throughout.

Also, Jordan appears to be ready to take over Hollywood and I say it can’t happen soon enough. BROADWAY, FORTUNA, MILL CREEK. — John J.

LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Parcel One: Those portions of the Northeast Quarter of the Northwest Quarter lying Southwesterly of the U.S. Forest Service Access Road, known as Titlow Hill Road No. 10610 (as said road existed on April 27, 1956), all in Section 30, Township 6 North, Range 4 East, Humboldt Meridian, being a remainder of certain lands contained in the Patent recorded May 19, 1926, referred to below.

EXCEPTING, however, all coal and other minerals with the right to prospect for, and remove same, as reserved in the Patent from the United States of America, dated March 27, 1926, and recorded May 19, 1926, in Book 24 of Patents, Page 75. Parcel Two:A non−exclusive easement for commercial land domestic uses over the existing roads which presently serve the above described parcel of land.

APN: 316−172−022 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $275,876.54 Beneficiary may elect to open bidding at a lesser amount.

The total amount secured by said instrument as of the time of initial publication of this notice is stated above, which includes the total amount of the unpaid balance (including accrued and unpaid interest) and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of initial publication of this notice. 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 fee 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 prop− erty by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this informa− tion. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, benefi− ciary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a cour− tesy 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; Toll Free: 844−333−6766, or visit this

The unseasonably warm and dry weather seems to be allowing some species of insects to linger later in the year than I’ve seen before. Among them are two damselflies. I checked my archives and this is the latest date in the year I’ve ever noted either the rubyspot or California spreadwing (Archilestes californica).

I don’t really have one favorite bug; I have many. Some for intriguing lifestyles, some for their oddity and some for sheer beauty. One of the last group is a male damselfly, the American rubyspot (Hetaerina americana). Like most damselflies, they fold their wings over their back when resting, hiding the brilliant red coloration which gives this common fall species their name. Like all members of Odonata (damselflies and dragonflies), they are predators.

Taking up a prominent perch usually overlooking water, they chase after anything that flies within a couple of meters.

So, I set my camera for a high-speed series of exposures, took up a position and waited. And waited. Finally, the rubyspot damselfly dashed out but was out of my field of view before I managed to press the shutter release. It did return, however, while I was still holding down the button allowing me to capture some frames as it stuck the landing. The red on the wings is prominent but even the images produced by my best camera/lens combination lose something.

I suspect the wings reflect into the violet part of the spectrum, which does not transmit well through optical glass lenses. Some insects can see farther into the ultraviolet than we can. This may make the gaudy coloration even more attractive to a potential mate or intimidating to a rival.

I mentioned that unlike their cousins the dragonflies, damselflies usually rest with their wings folded over their backs.

The exception to the rule is the family known as “spreadwings” (lestidae). I think these may be what I call “relict” populations — now out of the business of reproduction, they are merely living on instinct until cold weather kills them off.

Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) Walking along the Van Duzen River after three frosty nights, I noted four dif-

Rubyspots in “wheel” configuration earlier in the season. Photo by Anthony Westkamper ferent kinds of butterflies. We saw many Mylitta crescents (Phyciodes mylitta), got a brief glimpse of what was most likely a woodland skipper (Ochlodes sylvanoides) and a West Coast lady (Vanessa annabella). A California sister (Adelpha californica) flitted up and posed at the last minute.

Butterflies and moths make up the order lepidoptera. Although butterflies get a lot more attention, many experts find moths more interesting. Typically, butterflies fly in day and moths by night. While butterfly antennae are thin and end in a knob, moth’s antennae have other shapes, from thin filaments to elaborate fronds.

In North America it is estimated there are about 700 species of butterfly, while moths may number more than 11,000.

Some experts consider butterflies merely a family of day-flying moths.

In the age-old arms race between insectivorous bats and night flying moths, moths have developed several survival strategies. One strategy is early detection of the bat’s sonar, which triggers evasive flying tactics. Others have developed a form of acoustic stealth. Many night-flying moths are extremely fuzzy. A recent article in Science News points out that this fur can deaden the bat’s sonar echoes.

As there are so many more types of moth than butterfly and they have been around so much longer, it stands to reason they might have an even more diverse set of lifestyles. Like butterflies, the majority of moths mainly eat higher plants as larvae and sip nectar as adults, but there are exceptions. Some moth larvae are known to eat natural fiber fabrics, a couple of species of wax moths inhabit beehives, eat wax and can actually digest some plastics.

Perhaps the oddest moth lifestyle is that of the genus Calyptra. Known as “vampire moths,” they do indeed suck blood from higher mammals, but have no fear, that group doesn’t live anywhere near here. Yet. ● Read more of Anthony Westkamper’s HumBug on Sundays at www.northcoastjournal.com.

Free Will Astrology Week of Nov. 29, 2018

By Rob Brezsny

Homework: Hug yourself as you tell yourself your biggest secret.

freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): Every year the bird known as the Arctic tern experiences two summers and enjoys more daylight than any other animal. That’s because it regularly makes a long-distance journey from the Arctic to the Antarctic and back again. Let’s designate this hardy traveler as your inspirational creature for the next eleven months.

May it help animate you to experiment with brave jaunts that broaden and deepen your views of the world. I don’t necessarily mean you should literally do the equivalent of circumnavigating the planet. Your expansive adventures might take place mostly in inner realms or closer to home.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): When the American Civil War began in 1861, the United States fractured. Four years later, the union was technically restored when the northern states defeated the southern states. At that time, African American slavery became illegal everywhere for the first time since the country’s birth decades earlier. But there was a catch. The southern states soon enacted laws that mandated racial segregation and ensured that African Americans continued to suffer systematic disadvantages. Is there a comparable issue in your personal life? Did you at sometime in the past try to fix an untenable situation only to have it sneak back in a less severe but still debilitating form?

The coming weeks will be an excellent time to finish the reforms; to enforce a thorough and permanent correction.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Does an elusive giant creature with a long neck inhabit the waters of Loch Ness in northern Scotland? Alleged sightings have been reported since 1933.

Most scientists dismiss the possibility that “Nessie” actually exists, but there are photos, films, and videos that provide tantalizing evidence. A government-funded Scottish organization has prepared contingency plans just in case the beast does make an unambiguous appearance. In that spirit and in accordance with astrological omens, I recommend that you prepare yourself for the arrival in your life of intriguing anomalies and fun mysteries. Like Nessie, they’re nothing to worry about but you’ll be better able to deal gracefully with them if you’re not totally taken by surprise.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Does moss really “eat” rocks, as Cancerian author Elizabeth Gilbert attests in her novel The Signature of All Things? Marine chemist Martin Johnson says yes. Moss really does break down and release elements in solid stone. Gilbert adds, “Given enough time, a colony of moss can turn a cliff into gravel, and turn that gravel into topsoil.” Furthermore, this hardy plant can grow virtually everywhere: in the tropics and frozen wastes, on tree bark and roofing slate, on sloth fur and snail shells. I propose that we make moss your personal symbol of power for now, Cancerian. Be as indomitable, resourceful and resilient as moss.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Let’s shout out a big “THANKS!” and “HALLELUJAH!” to the enzymes in our bodies. These catalytic proteins do an amazing job of converting the food we eat into available energy. Without them, our cells would take forever to turn any particular meal into the power we need to walk, talk and think. I bring this marvel to your attention, Leo, because now is a favorable time to look for and locate metaphorical equivalents of enzymes: influences and resources that will aid and expedite your ability to live the life you want to live.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Every dreamer knows that it is entirely possible to be homesick for a place you’ve never been to, perhaps more homesick than for familiar ground,” writes author Judith Thurman. I’m guessing you will experience this feeling in the coming weeks. What does it mean if you do? It may be your deep psyche’s way of nudging you to find an energizing new sanctuary. Or perhaps it means you should search for fresh ways to feel peaceful and

well-grounded. Maybe it’s a prod to push you outside your existing comfort zone so you can expand your comfort zone.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Venice, Italy consists of 118 small islands that rise from a shallow lagoon. A network of 443 bridges keeps them all connected. But Venice isn’t the world champion of bridges. The American city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania holds that title, with 446. I nominate these two places to be your inspirational symbols in the coming weeks.

It’s time for you build new metaphorical bridges and take good care of your existing metaphorical bridges.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): To aid and support your navigation through this pragmatic phase of your astrological cycle, I have gathered counsel from three productive pragmatists.

First is author Helen Keller. She said she wanted to accomplish great and noble things but her “chief duty” was “to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.” Second, author George Orwell believed that “to see what is in front of one’s nose” requires never-ending diligence. Finally, author Pearl S. Buck testified that she didn’t wait around until she was in the right mood before beginning her work. Instead, she invoked her willpower to summon the necessary motivation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Blackjack is a card game popular in gambling casinos. In the eternal struggle to improve the odds of winning big money, some blackjack players work in teams. One teammate secretly counts the cards as they’re dealt and assesses what cards are likely to come up next. Another teammate gets subtle signals from his card-counting buddy and makes the bets. A casino in Windsor, Ontario pressed charges against one blackjack team, complaining that this tactic was deceptive and dishonest. But the court decided in the team’s favor, ruling that the players weren’t cheating but simply using smart strategy. In the spirit of these blackjack teams, Sagittarius, and in accordance with astrological omens, I urge you to better your odds in a “game” of your choice by using strategy that is almost as good as cheating but isn’t actually cheating.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): What has become of the metaphorical seeds you planted during the weeks after your last birthday? Have your intentions flourished? Have your dreams blossomed? Have your talents matured? Have your naive questions evolved into more penetrating questions? Be honest and kind as you answer these inquiries. Be thoughtful and big-hearted as you take inventory of your ability to follow through on your promises to yourself. If people are quizzical about how much attention you’re giving yourself as you take stock, inform them that your astrologer has told you that December is Love Yourself Better Month.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you want to play the drinking game called Possum, you and your friends climb up into a tree with a case of beer and start drinking. As time goes by, people get so hammered they fall out of the tree. The winner is the last one left in the tree. I hope you won’t engage in this form of recreation anytime soon — nor in any other activity that even vaguely resembles it. The coming weeks should be a time of calling on favors, claiming your rewards, collecting your blessings and graduating to the next level. I trust your policy will be: no trivial pursuits, no wasted efforts, no silly stunts.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In his song “Happy Talk,” Academy Award-winning lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II offered this advice: “You gotta have a dream. If you don’t have a dream, how you gonna have a dream come true?” Where do you stand in this regard, Pisces? Do you in fact have a vivid, clearly defined dream? And have you developed a strategy for making that dream come true? The coming weeks will be an excellent time to home in on what you really want and hone your scheme for manifesting it. (P.S. Keep in mind Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s idea: “A goal without a plan is just a wish.”) ●
