If I Could See the End Coming

If I could see the end coming, I would wait for it. Where? Beside the sumacs, under the beech where the animals I’ve grieved are a trellis of bones. I’d ask the Carolina wren to spill out her song, and as the world condensed, hyacinths, peonies, stargazing lilies would bloom together, bathing everything in their thick, sweet scents. I wouldn’t expect a sudden white light or a familiar crowd on the horizon waving me forward — just trees hiking down the mountainside, winter creek softening at the edges, filling with snowmelt, tumbling toward me. My husband, a river-runner, would be holding a trout he carved from redwood burl, curved grain giving momentum to fins, his voice only in my head. “If you’re swept away, point your feet down stream.” Beyond me, there’d be leaping, the sporadic glimpse of deer, squirrels threading understory. I’d pass a single black bear up on two legs, the last wild man, savoring the air above his face. I’d watch the low moon step down from a locust branch, pause at another, and slip away. All would be, or seem, a slow process, like falling in and out of love, again and again, with the same person for years. — Kimberley Pittman-Schulz

Fie on Feinstein

Editor: In the article about the Point Reyes oyster farm (“Oyster Ouster,” Dec. 20), it failed to note how many times the operators were cited for operating outside of established laws and regulations. As to the backing of Sen. Feinstein, she has proven over and over not to be a friend of the environment through her lobbying for Sierra Pacific (the most often cited timber company in California) as well as lobbying for U.S. arms manufacturing overseas. The sooner Sen. Feinstein and her military contractor husband retire to their $14 million Bay Area mansion, the better off California will be. Bob Schultz, Eureka

The French Solution Editor: Barry Evans confronts our confusion over the proper use of English, particularly in regard to pronouns (“Lord, is it me? [Or is it I?]”, Dec. 27). He reminds us that according to traditional grammar, “I” is a subject pronoun, while “me” is the corresponding object pronoun. Saying “me” in the wrong place could mark a person as uneducated. To answer the question “Who’s there?” we’re more likely to say “It’s me” than the formally correct “It is I,” as only the queen herself might say. So we are uncertain when to use which word. I’d like to accuse American English of regarding the innocent word “me” as very low-class, often replacing it with “myself.” We further reduce the occurrence of “me” by using the frozen phrase “and I” no matter where: “They invited my wife and I to dinner,” or “That was a surprise

to Bill and I.” Few Americans would notice anything wrong with those sentences; after all, “I” is such an intellectual-sounding word. Another frozen phrase is now often heard in political discussions, wrongly paraphrasing Lincoln: “Of we the people, for we the people, and by we the people.” But what to say when you knock at a door and someone inside asks, “Who is it?” I recommend an answer that was popular among certain classes of American young ladies in the past century. It is short, simple and perfectly grammatical, and it is French: “C’est moi.” Orr Marshall, Eureka

Correction The Journal’s Dec. 6 review of Jo Deurbrouck’s book “Anything Worth Doing” incorrectly described a boat and misspelled a name. Clancy Reece’s boat was a wooden dory, and the correct spelling of the main character’s name is Jon Barker.

Here’s a nice piece of gasoline trivia. In a year when the Natural Resources Defense Council reports that gasoline retailers make an average of around 4 cents a gallon, a broker trying to sell two Arcata gas stations says that they routinely rake in 35 cents a gallon. “Due to high margins in this area it generates a huge cash flow,” AW Ackerman Commercial Real Estate Services writes about the Texaco station at 412 J St. in Arcata, which is on sale for just under $1.2 million. It sells around 70,000 gallons every month at 35 cent per gallon markup, the site says (h/t to a Humboldt Herald comment for a link to Ackerman’s site). Meanwhile, a Shell station at 1401 G

St. in Arcata has claimed the exact same profit margin (funny, how that works) on sales of around 80,000 gallons a month. It was being offered for sale at $2.2 million on the Ackerman website on Thursday, but the ad was down on Friday. Bud Ackerman, the realtor on these listings, says both stations are still for sale, but one of the ads has temporarily expired. The stations are being sold by two different owners, and potential buyers would generally expect to see documentation of the past markups. Although 35 cents a gallon is “pretty good,” Ackerman said, the volumes sold aren’t great — a better volume would be around 100,000 gallons a month. But a Redding-area realtor who also handles gas stations said a good station should be selling 50,000 to 65,000 gallons a month, at markups that can range from a few cents per gallon to 20 or 30 cents, depending on location. How good is 35 cents a gallon, particularly when selling 70,000-plus gallons a month? “That’s a very high markup,” said Ron Largent of Sheldon Largent Realty. “He’s making money. That’s excellent. … If he does have a 35 cent markup with that kind of volume, he’s doing very well.” In the Central Valley, where Largent continued on page 8

helps people buy and sell gas stations, markups like that could only be commanded at exceptional locations and likely would come with a tradeoff: selling a noticeably lower volume of gas, because consumers will shop around for lower prices if they can. In other areas though, “there’s almost an unspoken rule” that stations do not undercut each other. When that happens, he says, “The consumers, what can they do? It’s a captive market.” Now, nobody suggests that a gas station owner is the only one involved in gasoline pricing. The owners mostly have to pay prices set by their distributors, and in parts of California, markups are so low the stations couldn’t survive without their convenience stores. In Humboldt, though, stations have a tradition of copying each other’s lofty prices, and a couple of distributors dominate the market. (See “Gasoline Kings” in the July 7 Journal.) How powerful are those distributors? Good question, and there have been plenty of dark suggestions, but no proof. If somebody wanted to find out a lot more, and possibly get some lower gas prices to boot, how about a giant

Pot and Pain A study conducted by University of Oxford researchers indicates that cannabis — specifically THC — works as a pain reliever in some people not by reducing the pain, but by distracting the user from the pain, reports the University of Oxford: “We have revealed new information about the neural basis of cannabisinduced pain relief,” says lead researcher Dr. Michael Lee of Oxford University’s Centre for Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Brain (FMRIB). “Cannabis does not seem to act like a conventional pain medicine. Some people respond really well, others not at all, or even poorly. Brain imaging shows

little reduction in the brain regions that code for the sensation of pain, which is what we tend to see with drugs like opiates. Instead cannabis appears to mainly affect the emotional reaction to pain in a highly variable way.” Also, only half the study participants felt any change in pain, indicating that THC’s impacts vary widely among individuals. Lee says the small-scale study is but a piece of the puzzle of how cannabis interacts with pain, and there’s much more to be learned. ●

Waiting for Chinn Like it or not, a Eureka day center will give homeless advocate Betty Chinn a home base Story and photos by Deidre Pike

tarting to drizzle, again. A narrow man wearing hoodies, torn jeans and flip-flops approaches Betty Chinn as she gets into her midnight-blue catering truck. This is Lynn “Frank” Khoury, 55, a former trucker from Florida. “Hey Betty,” Khoury says. “Do you have any more of those heavy-duty rain ponchos? I’ve been using this plastic to stay dry.” Khoury motions to a cart piled with personal belongings, topped with a tarp/ trash bag combo. Chinn, Eureka’s own Mother Teresa, reaches into her truck for a new poncho, still in its package. These run around $20 each online, including shipping. Her husband Leung Chinn, a retired HSU professor, ordered the ponchos for her to give away. The Chinns did not chintz on rain gear. Cheapie ponchos fall apart in Humboldt storms. Khoury thanks her and explains why he hasn’t been around. Chinn listens politely but she’s also feeling rushed. She’s outside with no umbrella in front of St. Vincent de Paul on Third Street. She’s been up since 2 a.m., collecting homeless teens and bringing them to high schools in Fortuna and McKinleyville. After that, she delivered coffee and doughnuts to folks in 11 homeless encampments

around Eureka. She does this every day. Chinn arrived at St. Vincent’s before 8:30 a.m., as she does three days a week, to get the showers going for a few dozen street-dwelling adults. Then Chinn will go home or to a local church to start making dinner. Volunteers help several times a week. Today she’s cooking alone, making 24 restaurant buffet-sized pans of chili bean-rice casserole and 500 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to be served with bananas and orange juice. She’ll take this meal to 11 homeless encampments tonight. Most days, Chinn gets to bed around 11 p.m. Chinn is a saint. On that, Eureka folks seem to agree.

There’s less

agreement, perhaps, on Chinn’s approach to the homeless — and to her new partnership with Catholic Charities in Santa Rosa to open the Betty Kwan Chinn Homeless Foundation Day Center on the corner of Seventh and C streets. The day center will attract increasing numbers of homeless people, critics fear. The day center will help connect Eureka’s chronically homeless with needed programs and services, proponents argue. It’s a topic much debated online and in the op-ed section of the daily news. But

10 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • THURSDAY, JAN. 3, 2013 • northcoastjournal.com

the argument is a moot one, really. Thanks to California law, critics can do little to stop the day center. No public hearing is needed. There’ll be no vote. The building is bought and paid for with private funds. And it’s located in an area of Eureka zoned “service commercial,” where an emergency shelter is a “principally permitted land use,” according the Eureka city code. Three years ago, Chinn came up with the idea for a center. A place where people could sit inside — rain or shine. A program that extends her impact into the lives of the needy. “I clothe them, I provide the shower, I feed them, but I have not the way to lift them up,” she says. “I don’t have the programming. Or the guidance. I don’t have the time. I have no time!” The day center will centralize Chinn’s operations, provide her with a kitchen and a staff. “And I will have a place to be,” Chinn says. “Right now, I’m homeless. I’m here and there and everywhere.”

As Chinn climbs

into her truck, a man across the street shouts, “There she is, the amazing, world-famous Betty Chinn!” She grins and waves back. Chinn, now in her early 50s, was not

always world famous. She knows what it feels like to be marginalized, to live on the fringe, to be treated like human trash. Ripped from her upper middle-class home by Mao’s Cultural Revolution in the 1960s, she saw family members shot. She was tortured. Socially isolated. Humiliated. Starved. To keep warm at night, she huddled in a trash heap. That’s where she slept. And where she ate. “When I was a little kid, every time I asked for food, I got beat up,” she says. And that’s just the first 45 minutes of the screenplay that could be crafted from Chinn’s life. There’s a rescue by siblings in the dead of night. Then a long journey — hiding during the day and trekking in the dark, walking all the way to freedom in Hong Kong. As a teen, she traveled to San Francisco. She learned English from watching Sesame Street. She enjoyed Oscar the Grouch, who lived in a trashcan. Then came an arranged marriage to Leung Chinn who’d become a Humboldt State physics professor. The couple now has two grown sons. And in Eureka, Chinn’s quest to exorcise the demons of her childhood —starvation, filth, lack of shelter — has made her a beloved public figure and winner of a national citizen award granted personally by President Barack Obama.

She’s been a guest on Oprah, a tireless dispenser of coffee and doughnuts, a friend to homeless redwood-dwelling teens as well as to drug addicts sleeping in the doorways of Old Town. The amazing, world-famous Betty Chinn.

Most mornings, that’s why I get up. That’s the only reason.” He’s looking forward to the day center. “I would work there for free,” he says. “Miss Betty’s really cool.”

A DAY CENTER COULD OPEN BY JUNE OR JULY IN THIS BUILDING AT 133 SEVENTH ST. STATE LAW MAKES IT TOUGH TO BLOCK HOMELESS SERVICES IN AREAS ZONED FOR THEM, INCLUDING THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

sending email or using social networks, developing job skills and looking for work and housing. The building’s upstairs apartment will provide transitional housing for three to five people. These residents would be employed at the center, doing neighborhood watches, clean-ups and “trying to get people out of the doorways and into the day center, instead of hanging out on the streets,” Fernandez says. At neighboring businesses, owners and workers didn’t want to be named in this story. One admitted to mixed feelings — a lack of enthusiasm at having a shelter in the neighborhood and relief that it’s Chinn’s project. An employee of another business suggested offhandedly that homelessness would be best handled through work. “I hear McDonalds is hiring.”

The ﬁrst homeless teen girl that

Chinn fed, she says, is now a certified public accountant. Right now, Chinn counts four students at Humboldt State and another four at the College of the Redwoods — all former homeless teens who she’s helped. She tells the story of helping a teen boy who nobody liked. “Runny nose, all the time, peed his pants.” The boy had been in 13 foster homes, many of them abusive, before running away. Chinn lost touch with him but, years later, received an invitation to a doctoral degree graduation ceremony at UC-Davis. “Do you remember me?” a grown man asked. “He’s a nice-looking man now,” Chinn says. “He said to me, ‘Every time I come to eat food from you, you always reminded me that I would be somebody.’ That stuck with him, the desire to go higher and higher so that he would be somebody.” This, Chinn says, is why she takes homeless teens to high school each day.

“Never, never, never give up the child,” she says. “Never ever.” Some of Chinn’s success stories stick around. Jeremy Hackney, 34, grew up in Fortuna. Hackney now lives under a building’s eave. He shares the space with two other homeless men, men he considers close friends. “Miss Betty clothes me,” Hackney says. “She’s fed me for a year and a half. She doesn’t ask for anything in return. She doesn’t make you jump through hoops. She’s awesome. I’d do anything for her.” Hackney, once a heavy equipment operator for a local construction firm, now works for Chinn in the mornings at St. Vincent’s. He monitors individuals coming in for 20-minute showers. He cleans shower rooms between uses. When the day center opens, Chinn says, Hackney can move into the transitional housing and work at the center. For now, Hackney enjoys his community of outdoor dwellers. He plays cards with friends in the afternoon while waiting for Chinn’s dinner delivery. Sure, it rains. Gets cold. But a person can get used to sleeping on the ground. And Chinn’s arrival is a highlight of everyone’s day. “It’s good around here,” Hackney says, joking. “We’re probably the most spoiled bums on the planet.” Hackney and others who volunteer serve as models, Chinn says. “Jeremy had will power to change,” she says. “He said, ‘I’ll clean up all my baggage and come to help Miss Betty for help.’ So did all the other guys [who volunteer]. They know I don’t want any baggage. When they stop drugs, anything like that, they can have their own power. They can do it. These guys, I can really depend on them.” continued on page 14

continued from previous page empathy for some of them,” Davenport says. “One of the worst things Ronald Reagan did, as governor of California, was to close mental institutions. So we have all these people who shouldn’t be out on the street.” Chinn’s day center isn’t the first social service that Davenport has fought. In 2004, he led a court battle that successfully nixed the city of Eureka’s efforts to transform the Fireside Inn into a North Coast Veterans Resource Center. His attorneys argued that city zoning prohibited the center. With SB 2 in place, zoning won’t be an issue for Chinn and Catholic Charities. But Davenport thinks the City Council could do something to stop the day center — if only the leaders weren’t so gutless. From Davenport’s perspective, offering no-strings-attached handouts doesn’t force the chronically homeless to encounter the natural consequences of life on the streets. Davenport favors a hands-off approach with those who, in his view, have chosen to be homeless. “If you want to go out and drink and take drugs, don’t expect the community to take care of you,” he says. “If you want to sleep under bridges, you’re going to die. It sounds harsh. But that’s your choice, Charlie Brown.”

story, too. Recently, he attended a reunion on the Hawaiian island of O’ahu at Punahou School, renowned as President Obama’s high school alma mater. Fernandez stayed in a Waikiki hotel, walked on the beach and went jogging in nearby Kapiolani Park. “I would literally be stepping over people sleeping, on the beach sleeping, in the park sleeping, more than I had ever seen,” Fernandez says. Homelessness is everywhere. “It’s sad to see what you see.” Fernandez contends that providing services for the homeless doesn’t exacerbate the problem. Catholic Charities has been observing this since 1994, when it opened its first shelter in Santa Rosa. “Our experience is that our opening a shelter does not draw more people to the community,” he says. “It’s never been our experience that we build it and they will come.” The day center’s hours of operation in Eureka have not yet been determined, Fernandez says.

living on the property doing neighborhood watches and cleanups. Chinn’s daily trips to homeless encampments help identify people in need of services. Chinn helped at least 17 families get off the streets in 2012. She connected a handful of homeless teenage girls with needed services the first weekend in December — and reunited at least one teen runaway with her family. That’s the gap that Chinn fills in Humboldt County, Fernandez says. “We meet people where they are,” he says. “I can’t force services on a homeless person if they don’t want it.” And what about Eureka as a “mecca” for the homeless? A 2011 count showed that Humboldt County’s homeless population decreased by more than 400 adults between 2009 and 2011. The 2011 Point-In-Time Count, conducted by the Humboldt Housing and Homeless Coalition, counted 1,064 home-

less adults on one predetermined day in January, down from 1,497 adults in 2009. In the study’s report, coalition members attribute this success to services that get people back in housing sooner. But the study itself might have been flawed, the report acknowledges, as fewer agencies helped with the 2011 count. True, many helpful agencies provide emergency food and shelter for needy humans in Humboldt County. An eightpage handout, available at the welfare office, lists 16 places from Garberville to McKinleyville where needy individuals can get food. Twelve groups provide housing assistance. Six places offer clothing.

book Galore Michael Crummey Other Press

There are two epigraphs at the beginning of this marvelous novel. The first, from Gabriel García Márquez, suggests we’ll encounter strains of magic realism in the pages ahead. The second, from Psalms, hints that the book promises rich language, a unique cadence and an emphasis on story as opposed to character. Both, it turns out, are appropriate. Galore is set on “the shore” in far Newfoundland in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The country is wild, the weather terrible, the sea fierce — the inhabitants seem to have been thrown up on the sand like so much flotsam. The tale begins with a beached whale and a gathering of locals waiting for the creature to die because they can’t figure out how to kill it. This happens “at a time of scarcity when the ocean was barren and gardens went to rot in the relentless rain and each winter threatened to bury them all.” They are eager to harvest the whale’s blubber for food but while they argue over ownership of the poor creature, the whale’s body produces a marvelous fish-smelling surprise that I will leave readers to unwrap for themselves. The story revolves around two families, the Devines and the Sellers. They cannot abide each other, they do great damage to each other, but they also have occasional need of, and desire for, each other. Over six generations we watch a relentless, sometimes hilarious, ebbing and flowing of their rages, their schemes, their births, desires, disasters and deaths, all informed by grit and resolve. Were there not an abundance of grit, the lot of them would have soon disappeared altogether. The place names alone form a song: Paradise Deep, the Gaze, the Gut, the Breakers, the Tolt, the Rump, Little Garden, Nigger Ralph’s Pond. And the character names ring out like a chant: Devine’s Widow, King-Me Sellers, Selina, Callum, Mary Tryphena, Lazarus, Bride, Obediah Trim and his brother Azariah (a conversation between them near the middle of the book is alone worth the price of admission), Father Phelan (a decidedly earthly priest), Mr. Gallery (who spends much of the book as a ghost), a silent albino known mostly as Judah, Barnaby Shambler (a man of dark deeds and a successful politician), John Croaker (ditto plus), a woman named Virtue, Levi Sellers and his father Absalom. (If “Absalom” suggests Faulkner, that too is appropriate.) You’ll want to mark the family trees at the beginning. You’ll need them for reference. The stories of these lives are masterly woven and coiled like ship rope, but the heart of the tale is language. Language that surges and rolls like the sea; language that I predict will enchant and delight you. — Doug Ingold

By Jason Marak ou’ve made it through the holiday season, for better or worse. Now, with the weight of overly ambitious New Year’s resolutions squarely on your shoulders, you stare out across the abyss of another year, having just sworn off everything that made the previous year tolerable. What is one to do? Well, you could spend the first weekend of the New Year staring into that abyss. Or, rather than going cold turkey, you could ease into those resolutions and hit the town for the year’s first Arts! Alive. The Sewell Gallery in Eureka is looking to inject some life into what has traditionally been a slow Arts! Alive month by putting together one of its largest exhibitions of the year. Invitational Interlude will include more than 30 artists new to the Sewell Gallery. Along with that show, 50 artists who the gallery currently represents will also be on display. You have to admit, 80 artists under one roof is a lot of life in one location. In the words of Sewell Gallery director Joan Rosko, “We’ll be rockin’.” This kind of large-scale invitational exhibition is a first for Sewell. The idea started in September, as part of an effort to find new artists to represent. The first step was selecting artists to invite. Gallery owner Jack Sewell, gallery director Joan Rosko and exhibition curator Adrienne Werth compiled a list of local artists they hoped would participate.

Next, in an effort to cast a net beyond artists whose work they already knew, they emailed the gallery’s current stable of artists and invited them to suggest other artists they’d like to show with. They got a great response and lots of new names. “And there wasn’t a dud in the group!” Sewell said. The artists on the final list were then invited to submit one piece each for the exhibition in January. Aside from size restrictions (a necessity to accommodate the large volume), the artists were free to submit whatever work they wanted. The invitation also carried with it the possibility of being selected for longterm representation by Sewell Gallery. “That was part of the pitch,” Werth said, “that we were looking, perhaps, to add another artist into our fold — and it might end up being more than one.” In the end, more than 30 artists from the list submitted work for the exhibition. The resulting show promises to reflect the expertise and diversity of the Humboldt County arts community. “We’ve got a whole lot of really interesting work, from paper mache to assemblages to abstract [paintings] and other things in between,” Werth said. While the gallery is happy to see a wide range of mediums and styles from the artists it shows, it demands uniformity on one thing: Artists must live and work here, in Humboldt County. “We get a lot of artists outside of the area that

apply to the gallery,” Rosko said, “and we just have to tell them ‘no, you’re not a Humboldt County artist.’” The strict adherence to the Humboldt County rule flows from the gallery’s original mission. It was founded to give local artists a home, an arena to showcase their work. “I had no reason to find artists from elsewhere. We wanted a showcase place for all the local talent up here,” Sewell said. The gallery’s strategy seems to be paying off. Visitors from out of town often remark on the variety and number of quality artists in Humboldt, he said, and the eclectic mix of artwork appeals to a wide range of people. Invitational Interlude will run from Jan. 2 until Jan. 28, featuring work by the following artists new to Sewell Gallery: Tim Baum, Elaine Benjamin, Natalie Craig, John Crater, Kit Davenport, Richard Duning, Bob Fasic, Susan Fox, Roy Grieshaber, Andrei Hedstrom, Cynthia Hooper, Kayla Johnson, Claire Joyce, Melanie Kasek, Suk Choo Kim, Mimi LaPlante, Georgia Long, Jim Moore, Peace, Susan Pence, Walter Pence, Steve Porter, Lyn Risling, Alan Sanborn, Keith Schneider, Sondra Schwetman, Emily Silver, Hans Spek, Mike Stengl, Shannon Sullivan, Lien Troung and Sarah Whorf. There will be a reception for the artists on Saturday, Jan. 5, in conjunction with Arts! Alive. The group 4/4 Jazz will play. The Sewell Gallery is located at 423 F St. in Eureka. ● northcoastjournal.com • NORTH COAST JOURNAL • THURSDAY, JAN. 3, 2013

ou made it through New Year’s Eve. You made it through Christmas. Hell, you even made it through the Mayan end of the world whateva-ocalypse. Now, as Humboldt enters its post-holiday, student-less cultural lull, you have your options: You can either enjoy the peace cowering under a warm blanket, or you can look extra hard for those with some energy left. If you choose the latter, we’ll try to assist the best we can. Vancouver, Canada, road dogs Petunia and the Vipers play upbeat, hillbilly honky tonk that sounds like it took at least a 70-year time machine voyage from its birthplace to your ears. Taking traditional country sounds made famous by Hank Williams and Jimmie Rodgers — we’ve got yodels here, people! — the Vipers present a knowing sendup of their legendary influences, translating them into a boottapping live experience that’s anything but dated. (By the way, lead singer, yodeler, acoustic guitar player and occasional trumpeter “Petunia” — born Ron Fortugno — is a dude, to be clear.) This week the Vipers will slither into SoHum’s archetypal roadhouse, the Riverwood Inn, for an unprecedented four-night stand from Thursday, Jan. 3, to Sunday, Jan. 6. Why the extended snakepit? Petunia and Co. are bringing in a pro film and recording crew to crank out a live album. Which means, of course, that your emphatic “oh yeah!” at the end of any one of the band’s hoedown-inducing numbers could go down in recording history. Try not to abuse the privilege. Tickets for any one night of the Petunia and the Vipers’ Riverwood Inn recording sessions are $10, but if you’re hardcore about honky tonk you can kick down $30 for access to all four nights. (And of course if driving to Phillipsville four straight nights seems daunting, the Riv-

erwood has rooms for crashin’ and serves decent Mexican grub.) Man, the major action is really in SoHum this week. This Saturday the Mateel stage will attempt to contain the larger-than-life personality of beloved singer, songwriter, storyteller, actor, author and, OK, sure, legend (it gets thrown around) Steve Earle. Though he’s spent much of his highly successful Grammy-nominated career lumped in with country/folk artists, the artist who came to prominence in the ’80s thanks to populist songs like “Copperhead Road” is really an American rocker in the mold of The Boss. This weekend in Redway, Earle presents stripped-down solo acoustic renditions of songs from his 30-plus-year body of work. CenterArts kicks off 2013 with a high energy shot of harmonica-led I-IV-V as harp man Mark Hummel returns to the Van Duzer on Wednesday, Jan. 9, leading a crew of veteran blues musicians. The Blues Harmonica Blowout show features fellow harmonica-wielders Rick Estrin and Kim Wilson as well as guitar slinger Joe Louis Walker, backed by the road-tested Blues Survivors. For some time now, your friends have been telling you how funny you are, true? And how great you’d be doing standup on stage in front of drunk people, right? Your chance comes Tuesday at the Jambalaya, when the local Ba-Dum-Chh comedy crew hosts its first monthly open mic of 2013. BDC founder/wiseass Sherae O’Shaughnessy has resolved in the new year to “make better, healthier choices while still taking the time to booze up and riot.” That seems pretty follow through-able. Now, you. While she’s boozed, get up there and challenge her for that mic. This is your year. l

(Their combined approach speed is 150 mph, or 2.5 miles per minute; how far apart they were initially is irrelevant.) 2. Hold the paper face down (imagine it’s transparent) so you see 2365 on top, 1874 on the bottom. Fold the right half on the left so that 5 goes on 2, 6 on 3, 4 on 1 and 7 on 8. Fold the bottom half up so that 4 goes on 5 and 7 on 6. Tuck 4 and 5 between 6 and 3, and fold 1 and 2 under the packet. (Easier to do than explain!) 1. Shakespeare turned 46 in 1610, the year the King James Bible was published.

4. True story: I once drove from Seattle to San Francisco with a flat tire without realizing it. How come?

6. This is Dudeney’s most famous puzzle, first published in 1903. A spider is in the middle of one wall of a 12 x 12 x 30 ft. room as shown, one foot from the ceiling. A fly, paralyzed with fear, is in the middle of the opposite wall, one foot from the floor. What’s the shortest distance the spider has to walk to reach the fly? Hint: cut the edges and lay the room flat, then draw a straight line between the spider and the fly (Fig. B). l

3. This is a Sam Loyd-inspired puzzle. Two trains, which started 660 miles apart, hurtle towards each other. One is going 60 mph, the other 90 mph. How far apart are they one minute before they collide?

Fig. B

2. Henry Ernest Dudeney (1857-1930) was a British mathematician and puzzlemeister who often collaborated with his older American counterpart Sam Loyd (1841-1911). Dudeney gave us this paper-folding teaser: Divide a sheet of paper into eight rectangles, numbered as shown. Of the 40 unique ways you can fold the paper to a packet the size of one rectangle, find the one that results in the numbers 1 through 8 in order, top to bottom, with 1 face up on top (Fig. A).

1. Did William Shakespeare help create the King James authorized version of the Bible? Proponents of this idea have been claiming for a couple of hundred years that he left a cryptic clue in the 46th Psalm: the 46th word from the beginning is “shake” and the 46th word from the end (not counting the obligatory “selah”) is “spear.” The puzzle is, what’s special about 46?

Take This Money Dear local nonprofits, government entities and aspiring community builders, Look at you! We know you have big ideas and plans for making the Humboldt world better and more booming in 2013, dontcha? Only one problem: Some jerk went and cut down all the money trees. If only there was a big ball of cash somewhere designated for local dreamers. Oh yeah! The Headwaters Fund! Since 2003, the Headwaters Fund has been doling out dollars for Hum-centric community development-minded projects. Just this last year it awarded a $70,000 grant to develop a Humboldt Aquaculture Innovation Center and $25,000 to spruce up the Creamery District in Arcata. You want in on the moolah? The next deadline for grant applications is Feb. 1. With a possible $200,000 to be awarded — priority to projects that “provide sites for businesses to locate” and/or “help businesses navigate the regulatory system and economic development infrastructure” — the time to flex your grantwritin’ muscles is now! “But grant-writing is hard and I need help!” you say? Well, who better to help you secure free money than the folks from whom you’ll be asking for said money? Thus, there will be a Headwaters Fund grant writing workshop at Humboldt Area Foundation on Tuesday, Jan. 8, from 9 to 11 a.m. Underfunded visionaries have the opportunity to pick the brains of Headwaters staff and board members on the best ways to frame your plan for a better Humboldt. Don’t mess this up! We’re all counting on you. For more info, direct your eyes and fingers toward theheadwatersfund.org. — Andrew Goff

Django Gets Even

Funny, violent and inflammatory, this is one of Tarantino’s boldest By John J. Bennett filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

DJANGO UNCHAINED. Only people who take themselves too seriously don’t like Quentin Tarantino movies. Such people include Spike Lee, New Yorker critic David Denby, and me on Christmas. Lee has said he won’t see Django because it’s disrespectful to his ancestors, and he’s had a beef with QT from day one. Denby got on a similar high horse when he reviewed Inglourious Basterds (2009), venomously panning it and calling out Tarantino for making light of the Holocaust. Lee and Denby are certainly entitled to their opinions, but I find them myopic and wrongheaded. I say this because my initial negative reaction to the movie was equally dumb. I convinced my parents to go see Django with me and my wife on opening day. They’ve been enthusiastic Tarantino fans since I (in Mom’s words) coerced them into taking me to Pulp Fiction when I was a pre-teen. Despite this, they grumbled at me about going to the movies on Christmas Day. Add to that seed of neurosis a theater so packed we couldn’t sit together, and my goose was cooked. From the front row, I fretted over every racial slur and practical squib. I watched the movie through a lens of self-involve-

ment and fear, and I couldn’t enjoy myself. Nothing could have been stupider: My parents both loved this movie, as much for its over-the-top bloodletting as for its sublimely satisfying revenge trajectory. I went back the next day and watched it again, and I’m back on board, but it was an interesting experience. Having now seen a Tarantino movie as if through someone else’s eyes, I feel better equipped to dismiss the haters. Tarantino detractors tend to criticize his work for its lack of moral shading and complexity. Which to me is like complaining about a delicious cheeseburger because it isn’t duck a l’orange. Tarantino’s medium is genre film, and he is unrivaled in his field. He eats, sleeps and breathes cinema and makes genre movies by synthesizing genre movies. As a young man, his influences were a little art-house, a little intentionally obscure. Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, in particular, are filled with sly narrative and visual references to the French New Wave and Italian NeoRealism (plus, of course, 1970s American culture). As he’s aged, he’s broadened his reach again and again, pulling in ever more disparate, often highly accessible elements.

I fell in love with his early stuff for its beautifully ugly language and screen-searing violence. But I also love his dazzling color palette and meticulously designed camera moves. His later movies, though they don’t adhere to the same style tenets, are braver and maybe bolder for it. He’s not hiding his influences anymore: In Django we see aspects of just about every Western ever made, from the muddy streets to the breathtaking snowy vistas to the smart haberdashery. Tarantino’s grown so much as a writer that he can build and sustain almost palpable tension, scene after scene after scene. Remember the opening of Inglourious Basterds? Much of the second half of Django runs on that same breathless, hurtling, dialogdriven intensity. Django Unchained is by far Tarantino’s ballsiest work, and maybe his best. Django (Jamie Foxx, in a part I can’t imagine anyone else playing) throws in with liberalminded dentist turned bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz). Schultz offers our hero a business partnership, freedom and the eventual rescue of his continued on next page

still-enslaved wife in exchange for some help identifying three particularly odious ne’er-do-wells. Django turns out to be a natural-born gunslinger, and their working relationship flourishes. They track Django’s beloved to the nightmarish plantation owned by dapper sadist Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio), where everything comes to a head. Waltz is brilliant and charming, as always, and it’s great fun to watch him play a good guy. DiCaprio and Samuel L. Jackson, as his valet Stephen, give the best performances of their impressive careers. It takes a steady hand to write a screenplay this subversive and masterful, and an iron constitution to see it through to completion. Django Unchained is hilariously funny, shockingly violent and filled with inflam-

matory talk. It provokes conversations about race in America and whether a white filmmaker has the “right” to make a movie about black experience. I think it’s important that we have the conversation, but I also think it misses the point. Tarantino’s work is all Pop-Art elevated: a genre invented of genre, become fine art. It’s not the job of that art to serve as an ethical blueprint or a commentary on past or present social turpitude. The art exists unto itself, and it’s a nice fringe benefit if, as in this case, it sparks discussion. R. 165m. LES MISÉRABLES. Don’t. Just don’t. This one is alarmingly bad. It sets wooden dialog to worse music and forces talented actors to sing in extreme close-up. As I understand it, director Tom Hooper’s (The King’s Speech) adaptation remains faithful to the umpteen-selling, award-winning, somehow much-beloved stage production. There are some necessary tweaks, but the screenplay is essentially the Broadway book. So I suppose it only makes sense that people are seeing it in droves, and that the audience at the screening I attended actually applauded at the end. It all looks very expensive, with welldressed sets and rich costumes. Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway are both charming and can belt out a number, but no one should have to sing songs like this. Admittedly, musicals are a hard sell for me in the first place, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised in the past. Not so today: Everything about Les Miserables feels misguided, corny, simplistic and disheartening. PG13. 157m. — John J. Bennett

Continuing

THE HOBBIT. Peter Jackson’s gonna milk this Middle Earth business for all it’s worth, isn’t he? This bloated Lord of the Rings prequel (part one of three) is a drag. PG13. 169m. THE GUILT TRIP. Odd couple road comedy starring Seth Rogen as The Seth Rogen Character and Barbra Streisand as his embarrassing Jewish mother. PG13. 95m. JACK REACHER. Tom Cruise stars in the title role, a former Army major turned vigilante drifter who gets pulled into a mass-shooting case that’s not what it seems. Slick if forgettable. PG. 130m. LIFE OF PI. Ang Lee’s adaptation of the bestselling book by Yann Martel is a visual feast, a technological marvel and a glib homily about spirituality. PG. 127m. LINCOLN. Daniel Day-Lewis delivers a bravura performance in Steven Spielberg’s handsome and rousing biopic, which portrays the deft political wrangling of our 16th president. PG13. 149m. MONSTERS, INC. 3D. See, there’s a prequel coming out next summer called Monsters University, so obviously you should take the kids to see the original in 3D. G. 92m. PARENTAL GUIDANCE. Billy Crystal and Bette Midler star as grandparents who use old-school discipline on their wacky, 21st century grandkids. Comedic hijinks allegedly ensue. PG. 104m. RISE OF THE GUARDIANS. Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and Jack Frost team up to make kids believe in them again. But where’s Jesus? PG. 97m. SKYFALL. James Bond battles his Freudian demons and a swishy-sinister Javier Bardem in one of the most satisfying 007 films to date. PG13. 143m. THIS IS 40. In this “sort-of sequel” to Knocked Up, writer-director Judd Apatow cast his own wife and kids alongside Paul Rudd to examine the tragicomic reality of marriage and parenting. R. 134m. RED DAWN. Yes, they remade that Patrick Swayze movie from the 1980s. This time it’s the North Koreans invading smalltown America. PG13. 114m. FLIGHT. Director Robert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump, Cast Away) goes into darker territory with this tale of a heroic but alcoholic commercial airline pilot (Denzel Washington). R. 138m. — Ryan Burns l

Was your first workweek of 2013 a drag? The Arcata Theatre Lounge looks to brighten your spirits Friday evening with Steven Spielberg’s Catch Me If You Can (2002), a breezy cat-and-mouse comedy starring Leonardo DiCaprio as an underage conman and Tom Hanks as the FBI agent on his tail. 8 p.m. Still grumpy? Try cranking the happy knob even higher on Sunday with the computer-animated dancing penguin comedy Happy Feet (2006), a family movie that manages to sneak in an environmentalist message. If chipper movies don’t do the trick, try beer, pizza and Manfish. What’s Manfish? It’s a 1956 Bmovie based on a couple of short stories by Edgar Allen Poe, and it’s the feature for next Wednesday’s Sci-Fi Pint and Pizza Night. Doors at 6 p.m., movie at 7:30.
