Editor: Congratulations on your recent stories covering gun control/constitutional rights (“The Gun Issue,” Jan. 10). It showed the many facets of this divisive issue without taking a side, which is good journalism. It is rare to see true journalists these days who dig and report.

I was blown away by the “Bad Guys With Guns” article. I assumed that a list of people who should not under any circumstances be allowed to possess a gun existed, but to know our police did not know of its existence is scary. This information could save an officer’s life. I would have thought that when police work any kind of crime investigation that names would be taken. Why couldn’t these names be checked against the “bad boy” list during or after the investigation?

Not knowing about the bad guy list lies with the chain of command and is troubling. What other tools are available?

The city of Detroit in 2012 had 513 people killed with guns. The president’s home city as well as the state of Illinois has gun laws, but over 500 were killed by guns. ”Fast and Furious” killed hundreds of Mexican citizens as well as an American border agent. Our government supplied those guns to the Mexican drug cartels. This of course was never investigated and was swept under the rug because ”journalists” never asked the questions. What needs to be done is to be able to identify people with serious problems. We need to act to help these

people. We also must recognize that there are people who snap. That is why we have the horrific scene at Newtown. We also know that the Second Amendment is talking about possessing a gun in order to fight a government that has reached the point of putting its citizens into slavery in one way or another — not for hunting.

Raspberry Regret Editor: I first want to say that I’m definitely a fan of Amy Stewart! However, to all who enjoyed her fabulous article “Put a Berry in It” (Jan. 10) as I did, I just want to offer up a big, thorny warning that they might want to think twice before they decide to plant raspberries in their yard.

Raspberries are “ridiculously easy to grow,” as she said, but the problem is that they can be a little too easy to grow! A number of years ago I planted a few canes that were great the first year, but the next year new plants started showing up outside of the planted area, and by year three, they were popping up all over the place! I finally had to dig them up (which was a lot of work chasing roots) and move them to a wine barrel, where they’re still doing great. But, to this day, I’m still “weeding” raspberries out of my garden.

Quandary of Color Editor: Why did ancient languages have so few words for colors, asks Barry Evans (“Homer’s Wine-dark Sea” Jan. 10 and 17), and why do some languages use the same word for both blue and green? Were the ancients colorblind, and have some of us just lately learned to see? No, says Evans, we only differ as to which sections of the spectrum we happen to name. We could always see a full range of colors, he concludes, but we have varied ways of describing (or not describing) them.

It is now possible digitally to produce nearly 16.5 million colors. Unfortunately the human eye can discern “only” about 10 million, and we’ll never have enough descriptive words. But wait, there are

Cop Slip-up ‘Scary’

still more colors. Birds and insects can perceive hues in the ultraviolet range that are invisible to us poor homo sapiens.

The German/American artist Josef Albers taught what he called “the interaction of color.” He said that “color is the most relative medium,” meaning that the appearance of a color is affected by its environment.” The very same color could look reddish against one background, for example, or greenish somewhere else.

Then there is color symbolism. What colors stand for purity or passion, sorrow or death? It depends on where you were born, and there are surprising differences from one culture to another. And what on earth are the hues of an off-color remark or a colorful anecdote? Our perception of color is so subjective, so strongly influenced by changeable physical and emotional factors, and our words are so limited, that they will never be precise.

We can’t fault Homer for the vagueness of his wine-dark sea. No one is guilty of misusing the names of colors; in this realm, so to speak, there are no white hats and no black hats.

He still fills a room: Smiles and laughter, Hugs and kisses, Holding hands.

A flight jacket And singular dare Near a crescent bay Started his journey With six Presidents, And countless hours Of public service Building a nation.

We drive slowly Back to his room And read a speech He wrote years ago.

History does not Hang on walls, Dwell in books, Or adorn displays.

It lives intently In the worn frame Of one who cares And dared to lead.

Recoil

T

he pen is mightier than the sword. But neither can match the firepower of a gun. And when you try to use a pen to combat guns in this country, prepare for backlash. In December, the Journal-News in New York (the current manifestation of my hometown paper) published a map of people issued handgun permits in Westchester County — some 33,000.

The national backlash was intense.

The publisher had to hire armed guards because of threatening calls and emails to the paper’s staff. Even the journalism community recoiled. The respected Poynter Institute, which for many journalists is the go-to place for best practices, said the paper didn’t carefully weigh the permit holders’ right to privacy against the public’s right to know when it published street level information with little context. In other words, it ran something personally invasive, automatically inflammatory and did so in a superficial way.

In 2010, students in my investigative class read through every search warrant on file at the county courthouse and mapped out addresses. What we read in those warrants had all kinds of personal information about private individuals. We published the map in this paper, but without any identifying information. We weighed what we thought readers needed to know — the frequency of searches in their neighborhoods — against the privacy rights of homeowners. In some cases, we believed, the people searched might no longer live in those houses.

There are a number of things the Journal-News should have considered. Just because you have a permit to own a gun doesn’t necessarily mean you actually own it. Just because someone used an address when he/she filed for a permit doesn’t mean that person still lives at that address.

The permit doesn’t tell readers why the person needed the gun. It could be they were stalked and felt threatened. It could be they were the victims of violence and felt the need for protection. And meanwhile, if the map was supposed to put the horrible killings at Sandy Hook Elementary into some kind of context, the paper ended up comparing apples and oranges.

The worry is high capacity rifles, not handguns. Still, maybe people deserve to know whether that yellow house with a white picket fence next door houses an arsenal.

John Bennett in this paper last week wrote about how guns are sexy. I think

ISSN 1099-7571 © Copyright 2013 CIRCULATION VERIFICATION C O U N C I L

that’s part of what makes them scary. Something that facilitates murder shouldn’t be sexy. I think men are more comfortable with the connection between sex and violence than are women, since women are more often the victims as a result of that connection. I’d love to see a good survey of gun owners’ reasons for purchasing guns. I’d bet a lot more women than men get guns out of fear, not for fun.

For journalists, just talking and writing about guns is scary. When you do your job as a journalist, you tend to anger about half your readers. People who own guns tend to get really angry when they read articles that counter their pro-gun views. Angry people who own guns are scary.

Too many media outlets, which masquerade as journalistic enterprises, broadcast or publish inflammatory and vitriolic interviews that stoke passions. They make it seem as if armed police will be at our doorsteps demanding that we hand over all our hunting rifles. That’s why I liked the special coverage of guns in last week’s issue of the Journal.

The articles and columns did a nice job of provoking thought without inflaming passions. I liked many of the online comments too. One sent me to FBI stats which did show that rifles of any kind made up a small percentage of weapons used in murders compared to handguns. And the Journal pointed out that murders as a whole in this country have been steadily declining. That’s noteworthy considering that fictional murders on TV and in the movies have increased exponentially in the same time period.

We should all agree on this: For an issue that affects us in so many complicated ways, we need to discuss it without anger or fear of reprisal. This shouldn’t be a debate about whether the Second Amendment right to bear arms is more important than the First Amendment of freedom of speech or press.

I remember a time when cigarette smokers swore that you couldn’t infringe on their right to smoke. But now most people recognize that children shouldn’t be anywhere near cigarette smoke. At one time in California, motorcycle riders swore you’d never make them wear helmets. Auto drivers swore you couldn’t make them wear seat belts. But over time we all recognized that a lot of people we loved were dying and we could prevent those types of deaths. Look. People are dying from gun violence — including children.

Maybe there are ways we can prevent those tragedies. But we need to feel comfortable talking about how to do this in ways people can accept.

We need to have a threat-free debate.

Any threats made by gun owners against people who want to ban guns, well to me, that’s a reason to ban guns.

If you can convince me that gun owners really just like fondling their guns in the privacy of their homes, and blasting them against rocks in the desert or old washing machines in the woods or in the safety and comfort of the local gun range, great.

But we live in a country where many of us are afraid to flip another driver other off on the road because we don’t know if the guy who cut us off has a gun. We are afraid to complain to our neighbors about the trash that seems to travel from their yard to ours because we don’t know how armed they might be. There are teachers who are afraid of angry parents and managers afraid of their employees.

Some gun owners argue that the Bill of Rights includes the right to bear arms so that we can protect ourselves against tyranny. But as a trade-off for the comfort of knowing we can protect ourselves against fascists or communists, we now live in fear of our neighbors or co-workers or employees.

Right now the gun lobby wants to focus the post-Sandy Hook discussions on mental health. If we are going to limit gun ownership, it wants us to do that only for crazy people. But that ignores the danger posed by people who are generally sane, but for some reason get really, really angry. Like someone who finds out his wife is sleeping with another man. Or someone just fired.

Or some otherwise nice Niners fan who just saw his team lose the Super Bowl after consuming three shots of Red Label with a Red Bull chaser.

We need to have a discussion about guns that doesn’t involve any threat of guns. And we can’t have that national discussion without journalists feeling free to write about it. The National Rifle Association says let’s focus on our mental health system and treat mentally disturbed people before they can shoot anyone. I say, yes! But I fear that most of us are mentally disturbed. And that’s an awful lot of people to treat.

Thronging to the Inaugural ‘You’re crushing children!’ one cop shouted.

‘What kind of people are you?’

The glorious morning sky (seen here behind the Washington Monument) made us forget our frozen digits.

P

eople weren’t kidding about the cold or the crowds or the miles we’d walk. Get there early, they advised. I meant to, had planned on catching the Metro at 4 a.m., when the trains started running, but in my tiredness, I’d set the alarm for 3:15 p.m. instead of 3:15 a.m. I woke up sans ring and an hour late, jet-lag fog giving way to panic — we’d never get close now.

When I’d won two tickets to the inauguration from the office of our new U.S. congressman, Jared Huffman, I hadn’t been sure about going. Notice was short — the office contacted winners one week before the event — and flights to D.C. were pricey. But one friend offered his airline miles, another invited me to stay with her in Fairfax, Va., and the Journal dangled an assignment that would cover gas to PDX and back. How could I refuse?

North Coast Journal Calendar Editor Andrew Goff tagged along to take photos and, we all hoped, be inspired to bring back Seven-O-Heaven. If that happened, I figured, any expense and the short time away from my regular job with Ocean Conservancy would be worth it.

From my friend’s house to the Metro

station is an easy jaunt — or rather, it looked simple enough on the map. In reality, we missed a turn and ended up two stations down the line. Another delay.

We pulled into the Federal Triangle Station around 5:45 a.m., joining tens of thousands of people jostling toward the U.S. Capitol building. We exited the station into 28 degrees of frigid biting through our clothing. I’d expected a chill and had worn thick tights, tall boots, a scarf and wool gloves in addition to my long coat and obligatory cute skirt and shirt. On a map, the distance between the station and the Orange Gate appeared short. Getting there looked simple. When I asked inauguration volunteers for directions, they helpfully pointed us the way.

Except they didn’t point us the same way.

And most of the streets surrounding the Capitol Building were blocked off, so we ended up stymied time and time again.

Finally we called in the military.

The gray-haired camo’d guy we asked for help clarified the deal to us: “Listen to me. There’s no other way to get there other than what I’m going to tell you.

Understand?” Yes, sir. He informed us we had to retrace our steps and go all the

way around the blocked-off parade route.

“You got about a four-mile walk ahead of you.”

He was mostly right. His instructions were spot-on, and I’m sure we strode at least two miles. But then, we were saved, in true American form, by ingenuity and enterprise — specifically the ingenuity and enterprise of a fleet of pedicabs, one of which we were able to flag down. Our driver waved us into the back and launched toward our destination, confidently weaving around pedestrians, cornering around official vehicles and

dodging whatever popped up in our path.

He was in from Texas, where he usually makes a living pedi-cabbing post-football game crowds back to their cars. In a few minutes, we’d reached our destination.

A glance at the phone said 7:30 a.m., half an hour after the gates had opened.

We merged into the crowd under a sky streaked with pink and orange, remnants of a glorious sunrise.

Theoretically we were in line, but in reality it was more of a crush. I clung to Goff’s elbow as he threaded ahead. First, getting through the gate. Next, getting through security. The whole ordeal was similar to catching a flight, if that flight was overbooked, about to depart and only took off once every four years.

We hustled to the next checkpoint, the actual entrance to the grand event. A cop, short and stout, announced to all ticketholders that we were being diverted to the “overflow area.” People complained and tried to dodge through, but she refused any and all pleading. Other cops escorted dozens of people to the grassy area outside of the assigned space until disappointment and complaint surrounded us. “It’s not my fucking problem. They

left: At a certain point you just give up and watch the Jumbotron. above: The invitation!

should have got here earlier,” snapped one cop to another. “I just work here,” responded a third cop, tasked with guarding the perimeter of our barricaded grounds.

Dozens of people decided to leave rather than be stuck with a view dominated by a long line of porta potties and trees obscuring the action. On the upside, the quantity of people and quality of aggravation counteracted the cold.

Goff and I joined a throng of people pushing for the exit — only the exit wasn’t one, because too many people in the overflow area were refusing to move off the street and onto the grass, so the oncoming crowd had been halted until a solution could be found. No one was getting in. No one was getting out. After several minutes, the cops relented and opened the gate to our ticket-holder area. People shoved for position. A petite woman to the side of me hollered about being pushed. The cops bumped up their communication. “You need to stop hurting each other!” they said. “Everyone just move slowly!” Better behavior held forth for a moment, but too many people in too small a space in too big a hurry makes for poor restraint. “You’re crushing children!” one cop shouted. “What kind of people are you?” Fortunately, the children in question made it through safely, as did Goff and I. At last, the main event — with an hour or so to go before anyone was going to start talking. We could see the Jumbotron and the perimeter of where the

action was. A lot of what I’m sure was technically talented music emanated from the speakers — the U.S. Marine Band certainly knows what it’s doing, as does the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir — but what would have been truly inspiring would have been some music with a beat. Look, you have 800,000 cold, tired, impatient people standing around for hours. Give them a little dance party, already! Instantly create warmth, inspiration and happiness! (I’ll have to float this to Huffman for the next go-round.)

The true value of attending the inauguration wasn’t to see the lawmakers and power brokers — not that I wouldn’t have hung out with Michelle, Barack and Uncle Joe if asked. The reward of the day came from standing with our fellow Americans.

We applauded when those who pleased us descended onto the big screen — Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter and Kelly Clarkson — and all around us boos broke out when Newt Gingrich and Paul Ryan’s faces lit up the Jumbo-tron.

When Richard Blanco ensured that poetry has no chance of breaking into popular culture for the next few years, the combination of pain while he spoke and relief when he stopped appeared universal. When Obama delivered his inauguration speech, I cheered along with all the other women at the line about equal pay.

My heart and the hearts around me rejoiced at his strong words supporting gay marriage. We caught our collective breath at the mention of Newtown. We burst into applause filled not only with joy of the moment, but relief that the election in November had swung our way.

Our time in D.C. was brief, but the experience was huge. We thought we’d planned well and were instead nearly overwhelmed with unexpected challenges, barriers and bad directions. Yet we ended up helped along our course by authorities and innovators, finally reaching a place where unity and hope didn’t seem impossible. I can’t think of anything more American. l

Blog Jammin’ BUSINESS / BY RYAN BURNS / JAN. 22, 2:40 P.M.

On Fieldbrook Market Closing On Friday, the owners of the Fieldbrook Family Market announced via Facebook that the store will be closing Feb. 2.

“We hope to be opening up again soon, but as for now we are reaching uncertain territory with no guarantees,” the announcement said cryptically.

Reached by phone this afternoon, owner Richard Seaman politely declined to provide details but reiterated that permanent closure “is not a hundred-percent certainty.”

I know I’m not alone in my fervent hope that Seaman or someone else will find a way to reopen the adorable little convenience store, because here’s the thing about the Fieldbrook Market: It’s really an essential part of the community.

For decades it has offered far more than six packs, candy bars and the staples that save residents another long drive over the hill. The Fieldbrook Market is the gathering place for a community of fewer than 900 folks spread all over the surrounding hills.

My family moved to Fieldbrook in the summer of 1987, right before I started sixth grade. Back then the store was owned and operated by brothers Ron and Bill Daley, who held onto the place for 34 years before selling it to a young couple back in the early aughts. Seaman took over the business from them in October 2005.

Fieldbrook is small enough that residents can pretty much count on bumping into someone they know at the market. I haven’t spent nearly as much time there over the past two decades, but I’ve been

back frequently enough to see that it still serves this purpose: It gives Fieldbrook folks the sense that they comprise a community rather than just a smattering of houses in the woods.

Seaman has placed less emphasis on the “store” and more on the gathering spot, booking lots of live music, hosting kids’ birthday parties, increasing the offerings at the deli, adding beers on tap and taking out an aisle of merchandise to make room for more tables and chairs.

For the past four years the store has been preparing and delivering the school lunches for Fieldbrook Elementary students.

But Seaman said this afternoon that economic times have caught up with him.

(Central Kitchen in McKinleyville is set to take over the school lunch production.)

Here’s hoping it’s not closed for long. ● ARCATA, COPS / BY CARRIE PEYTON DAHLBERG / JAN. 21, 11:48 A.M.

Cop Wants Arcata to Pay The Lost Coast Outpost reports that Kevin Stonebarger, an Arcata police officer who served briefly in the county’s Drug Task Force, has filed a claim against the city of Arcata, alleging that he was defamed and lost his slot as a firearms instructor at College of the Redwoods.

What did that claim of defamation involve?

Stonebarger alleges that someone tipped the college off that he had been disciplined for a Feb. 22, 2012, dispute with a tow truck driver, who had been called to tow the illegally parked vehicle of another task force member.

It was a messy episode, LoCO reports, with allegations of shouting, bullying, flashing badges but then refusing to give a badge number or name, and threatening a candy store owner with arrest because he started recording the thing with his cell phone. (His was the parking space occupied by one of drug enforcers while they were lunching at Eureka’s Pho Thien Long.)

The claim, which LoCO says the city of Arcata has denied, was backed up with a fat bunch of documents that apparently have been dragged into what could become a lawsuit. Among them are a Sept. 7, 2012, notice of disciplinary action from Arcata Police Chief Tom Chapman to Stonebarger.

It reads in part: “Asserting your authority as a sworn police officer to order people to stop engaging in perfectly legal conduct was inappropriate and a violation of departmental policy. Furthermore, the manner in which you handled this incident was discourteous, disrespectful, and frankly an embarrassment to the Department. I

8 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • THURSDAY, JAN. 24, 2013 • northcoastjournal.com

am shocked to hear that you believe you handled it the ‘best I possibly could.’ …”

The notice also points out that Stonebarger had had previous conversations with the chief about “poor interpersonal skills and judgment” and was only allowed onto the task force under special provisions for additional supervision.

Jan. 22 update: Wonder what beat this guy is working now in Arcata? So did we.

Chief Chapman told the Journal Tuesday morning that Stonebarger has been out on medical leave – at full pay – since Aug. 27. Almost five months.

Interestingly, the disciplinary records show that the morning of Aug. 27 was when he and the chief had been scheduled to meet so that Stonebarger could offer an oral response to the decision about his transfer and loss of specialty pay.

Instead, that morning, Stonebarger’s lawyer said his client would be responding in writing, because he had sustained an injury the night before.

The nature of the injury was not specified. ● BUSINESS / BY RYAN BURNS / JAN. 18, 2:47 P.M.

Arcata Fig’s Video Closing Oh, this is sad for me — not only because I hate to witness the slow demise of video stores but because of my personal connection to this one in particular. I worked at the Arcata branch of Figueiredo’s for years (hence my ease with all those vowels in the name). Met my wife there, in fact.

No word yet on the official last day, but the press release on our website says the other locations will remain open.

There will also still be a drop box in Arcata for movie returns.

The release says in part: David and Dana Figueiredo, owners of the Figueiredo’s Video locations in Arcata, McKinleyville and Fort Bragg, have decided it’s time to close the Arcata branch, which has been part of the community for 30 years.

The McKinleyville location will still offer the same great prices and extensive selection, and there will be a drop box in Arcata for the convenience of customers who rent from the other Fig’s locations.

Fig’s will be incorporating many of the

Arcata movies into the McKinleyville store. David’s brother, Bob Figueiredo still operates his Eureka and Fortuna locations. ● CRIME, JAIL /JOURNAL STAFF / JAN. 17, 2:26 P.M.

Inmate Leaps to His Death The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office said that a 56-year-old man has died after jumping from the second tier of a housing unit. It was the second jail death in just over a month, and brief press releases about each episode are on our website.

Update Jan. 22: The fatal fall brings to 16 the number of inmates who have died in Humboldt County’s jail since 2000, according to county sheriff’s records. Except for 2001, when four inmates died, the annual death rate has ranged from zero to two. A threeyear streak of no deaths at all behind bars ended in 2012, when two inmates died. ●

How Good Are You at Naming Airports?

If you think you’ve got a snazzier name for our local airport than the current lame “Arcata/Eureka Airport” moniker then speak up now, citizen! In a press release issued today, the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors announced it is seeking public input for a new airport name. Send your ideas to nametheairport@gmail.com.

One caveat: the board really, really wants the new name to include the words “Humboldt” and “Redwoods.” So, seemingly, “Bob Marley Memorial Airport” is out. Good luck, wordsmiths!

The release is on our website. ● ENVIRONMENT /BY HEIDI WALTERS / JAN. 16, 12:13 P.M.

Who Shot The Ducks?

Somebody with a deep desire to enter the new year with some seriously bad karma blasted the life out of 21 ducks up off Fickle Hill Road. It happened on Dec. 29.

Stop Having Snow Fun in Kneeland, Jerks

The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office sent out a press release this morning to remind Humboldt County residents that neither Kneeland nor its bountiful piles of white joy belong to them. Also, be really careful wherever non-Kneeland place you fools end up.

The entire release says: The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office has been receiving complaints from private property owners in the Kneeland-Greenwood Heights area due to low snow levels. The Sheriffs Office and property owners would like to remind snow seekers that Kneeland is primarily all private property, and deputies are issuing misdemeanor citations for trespassing.

Snow seekers should utilize the Horse Mountain, Six Rivers National Forest areas for recreational activity. If you do plan to recreate in the snow remember wet and cold weather can cause hypothermia. A cell phone, map or GPS is also very helpful. Keep in mind not all rural areas have cell phone coverage and cell phone batteries need to be fully charged.

The Journal was curious about how many citations had been handed out to local snow thiefs. Sheriff’s Lt. Steve Knight says that deputies warned some folks who were trespassing on Sunday afternoon, and another batch on Monday morning, but so far haven’t actually cited anyone for misdemeanor trespass. So why put out a press release saying deputies “are issuing misdemeanor citations”?

“Because we will. And we can.

And we have in the past,” says Knight.

So there. ●

Charter School Rift The prospect of sharing campus space has a community fretting about inequality Story and photos by Ryan Burns

O

n a brisk and blazing-bright Monday morning, school kids frolic on the playground of Redwood Preparatory Charter School in Fortuna. Fourth, fifth and sixth graders in sweatshirts scamper through the wood chips around the swing set, tromp across the giant tractor tires laid flat in the grass and lob basketballs in rainbow arcs toward the iron hoop. In the winter sun their elongated shadows dance across the asphalt and their breaths form steam plumes that evaporate in laughter.

Since opening in fall 2011, Redwood Prep school has been housed at Fortuna Church of the Nazarene, on a hill just south of town. With donations of time, money and labor from parents and staff,

the chapel’s ancillary rooms have been converted to classrooms and the small playground at the back of the parking lot has been tricked out with handmade picnic tables, a drinking fountain and new equipment.

A few kids are distracted from their play by a reporter with a camera and a notebook.

“Are you the news?” asks a tall girl in jeans and a blue hoodie. In seconds a crowd has formed, more than a dozen confident and bright-eyed kids eager to explain why their school is so awesome.

“There aren’t as many people. … It’s smaller. … Our teachers are really nice. …

You can eat whatever you want.”

They’re talking over each other, excited

and hollering to be heard.

“Technology!” shouts another girl. (Was that Charlotte, the fifth grader? Or Katie from sixth?) “We have 40 laptops and 25 iPads,” she brags.

One of the boys (Jack? AJ? Trey?) makes eye contact and says, “We have a really good, like, relationship with our teachers.”

“But we have a lot of responsibilities,” explains another. “We have to earn our privileges.”

Those privileges are in demand — not just by students but by their parents, too.

A smaller girl in a puffy pink jacket seems to appreciate this. “We have, like, a big waiting list,” she says proudly.

It’s true. Last fall, a lottery was held to determine which kids would get admitted

to Redwood Prep and which would be sent instead to one of Fortuna Elementary School District’s four traditional public schools. There were 20 spots available in the incoming kindergarten class. Nine went automatically to kids who had siblings already enrolled at the school or parents on the staff or board of directors.

(California’s education code allows this preferential treatment at charter schools.)

So 11 kids got in through the lottery.

Roughly 40 others were turned away.

The school’s charter document and parent handbook lay out a high-minded educational philosophy, describing a school where college-bound kids are held

One of the county’s newest charter schools, Redwood Prep is housed — for now — at Fortuna Church of the Nazarene.

to rigorous academic standards while learning the importance of social responsibility, emotional development and community involvement. The school day lasts nearly an hour longer than at traditional schools, and each family commits to 30 volunteer hours per year. According to the charter, students develop long-term relationships with teachers who tailor their approach to each child’s needs.

While Redwood Prep’s enterprising methods have proved popular, some in the community are less than happy with the impact the school has had on the rest of the district. The grumbling began even before Redwood Prep opened its doors.

The five women who founded the school all used to work at Ambrosini Elementary, a K-4 traditional .public school in the same district. (Both schools were part of the Rohnerville School District until it was consolidated with the Fortuna Union Elementary School District last July.) As the women began developing the charter, one had been laid off — a result of funding cuts and deferrals, declining enrollment and her lack of seniority. Not long afterward, three of the other four were also given pink slips. Now they’ve started their own school, and some of the teachers who remain at Ambrosini feel bitter.

When parents started pulling their kids out of Ambrosini in favor of Redwood Prep, a lot of veteran teachers were laid off, according to Fortuna Elementary School District Superintendent Dr. Patti Hafner. With the charter school siphoning off students, Ambrosini lost scarce state funding, which is based on average daily attendance numbers. “They laid off eight or 10 people who had been teachers for a very long time. We’re talking years. That’s where a lot of the hard feelings came from originally.”

Lisa Jager, the director of Redwood Prep, disputes that account, saying staff cuts would have been made regardless of the charter school, and indeed some of the teachers were laid off well before

planning had even begun for the school.

“Lawyers were involved and the whole school atmosphere was very tense,” she said in an email.

Regardless, many in the community are now complaining that Redwood Prep is elitist, attracting mostly wealthy, welleducated families and exploiting their resources to buy iPads and take field trips while the traditional public schools are left to deal with the learning disabled kids, the poor kids, the English learners and other students who require more resources and tend to score lower on standardized tests.

Last school year those resentments mostly simmered in private conversations.

But in the fall, that all changed. Administrators at Redwood Prep approached the district with a request. The school, they said, was growing. It began as a K-5, but this year it’s a K-6; the plan is to keep adding one grade level per year until 2014, when it will be K-8. Attendance is now up to 125. Teachers and students are running out of room at Fortuna Church of the Nazarene. It was time to invoke Prop. 39.

Introduced by ballot initiative in 2000, Proposition 39 requires every school district in the state to provide facilities for any charter school that has at least 80 full-time, district-resident students. The reasoning goes like this: Charter schools may be run privately, but they’re publicly funded and thus still considered public schools. And all public school students in a district should be entitled to reasonably equivalent classrooms and other facilities.

And so here was Redwood Prep, asking for space either at Ambrosini or one of the district’s three other traditional public schools. Ideally, administrators said, they could use 10 classrooms, an office and a large auditorium/multi-purpose room.

Prop 39 dictates that the request must be granted; Redwood Prep is entitled to space. The Fortuna Elementary School District Board has yet to determine exactly how to accommodate the request.

A six-person committee has been formed — with an administrator, a teacher and a board member from both Redwood Prep and the traditional schools — to examine the possibilities.

But while these bureaucratic accommodations proceed in an orderly fashion, a number of parents and teachers in the district are positively livid about what’s happening. They’re outraged at continued on next page

continued from previous page the prospect of having to make room on their own campuses for the school that stole some of their brightest kids and caused some of their best teachers to be fired. They’re incensed at the idea that their kids will be forced to rub shoulders with the iPad-toting, field-trip-taking rich kids of Redwood Prep. They’ve shouted their displeasure at recent district board meetings, where the crowded gatherings have devolved into tears, accusations and ultimatums.

In a county where charter schools have proliferated — we now have 14 with a combined enrollment of 2,264 — parents and educators in Fortuna are struggling to figure out how to coexist with their first one. And that struggle is stirring up

a host of issues ranging from class to race to privilege, all swimming around one core concern: the education of their children.

When lawmakers

passed the Charter Schools Act of 1992, California became just the second state in the country (after Minnesota) to embrace this model of publicly funded but privately operated education. The idea was that by allowing charters more autonomy over student curriculum, the state would encourage innovative teaching methods, expand options for parents and students and “provide vigorous competition” with traditional schools as a way to stimulate improvements across the board.

The law says special emphasis should

be placed on expanding learning opportunities for kids identified as “academically low achieving.”

Another key component? Charter school teachers aren’t unionized, so they can be fired for poor performance, unlike at traditional schools where tenure makes dismissing bad teachers challenging. Charter school teachers are also cheaper.

“Our staff took huge pay cuts” to start the charter, Jager said.

Salaries at traditional schools in the county range from $28,400 (for a first-year teacher in Orick) to $73,300 (for a well-educated teacher with 30 years’ experience in the Northern Humboldt Union High School District). Salaries at Redwood Prep range from $30,000 to $42,000.

There are now 5,618 charters in the country, educating more than 2 million K-12 students. In California, one in 10 public schools is now a charter school

(though their enrollment accounts for less than 4 percent of the state’s total). Here in Humboldt County, our 14 charters offer a wide variety of approaches — Spanish immersion at Fuente Nueva; creative freedom at Redwood Coast Montessori; an international baccalaureate program at North Coast Preparatory and Performing Arts Academy, and more.

Jager is the director of the newest addition to the bunch, Redwood Prep. In a recent interview at the charter’s office she said that the five founding women, who began working on the charter in 2010, share a common philosophy. All five were trained in the RTI (response to intervention) model, which emphasizes identifying kids with challenges as early as possible to help them improve.

“We wanted to work in a collaborative manner with families and children and to really push a project-based learning philosophy,” Jager said. She believes traditional schools are being “strangled by politicians.” And even though she’s the only founding member who had enough seniority at Ambrosini to avoid being laid off, she still didn’t approve of the system.

“What’s happened throughout the state is there are a lot of passionate, young, enthusiastic, knowledgeable teachers who were let go because of budget cuts.”

Demand for Redwood Prep was high from the beginning. The founders expected to start the school with 75 students, but after months of recruitment efforts — including visits to preschools and sporting events, ads in the TimesStandard and Humboldt

Beacon and fliers distributed around town — the families of 102 aspiring students were lining up.

With some logistical shuffling, Redwood Prep was able to accommodate all 102 students who applied to attend when the school opened in fall 2011, and the school’s popularity has continued to grow. With enrollment up to 125 this year and 76 kids on the waiting list, Jager said, “We’re kind of bursting at the seams at this point.”

The school added a portable classroom this year, but the electrical system at the church isn’t set up to accommodate another one. Plus, with so many students using laptops and iPads, they’re bumping up against the limits of the site’s bandwidth. There’s simply not enough room if the school hopes to add another grade level next school year.

Why are teachers and parents at the traditional schools so opposed to making room? The reasons are numerous, but most are tied to a central theme: inequality.

Sheri Rodriguez is a member of the parent-teacher organization at Ambrosini, where her two kids are enrolled, one in kindergarten and the other in second grade. She feels that Redwood Prep enjoys an unfair advantage over traditional public schools like Ambrosini.

“Our schools don’t have the option to limit enrollment to only those who can meet our ‘rigorous academic standards’ or our ‘high behavioral expectations,’” said Rodriguez, quoting the charter school’s website.

At a school board meeting last month, outspoken Redwood Prep critic Irene Werner, who coordinates the Gifted And Talented Education (GATE) program at the traditional Toddy Thomas Elementary, where her daughter is a student, stood up and described the charter system as “de-facto segregation” and “elitism,” calling Redwood Prep “a school not open to everyone.”

Like all public institutions, charter schools are legally prevented from discriminating.

But critics of Redwood Prep and other charter schools say that the system is set up in a way that can’t help but breed inequality.

As Rodriguez pointed out, Redwood Prep advertises its “rigorous standards,” which is a pitch bound to appeal to parents with high

expectations of their own.

“They advertise themselves as preparing kids for college,” Werner said in a phone interview. Parents and teachers at the traditional schools get sarcastic about it, she said. “The joke is, ‘Our school is preparing the future janitors of the world, or the McDonald’s workers.’ It’s almost funny in a way, but it’s just a very emotional issue.”

Then there’s the requirement for 30 hours of volunteer time from students’ families. Jager said the charter school depends on that help. “We have parents who come and clean our toilets. We have parents who do construction, parents who come and help in the classroom.”

She said the collaboration fosters a strong sense of family, but does it also weed out blue-collar families?

Rodriguez thinks so. “A lot of our parents are working parents and can’t afford time off to be in the classroom,” she said.

There are more hurdles for poor families. For example, Redwood Prep doesn’t offer public transportation. Nor does it provide free or reduced-cost lunches to the socio-economically disadvantaged kids who qualify for them. This, according to critics, effectively disqualifies families who can’t drive their kids to and from school every day or who can’t always provide packed lunches.

Enrollment data seems to justify these complaints. As of October 2011 (the most recent figures available), more than 60 percent of students were considered socio-economically disadvantaged in the two districts that have since been unified as the Fortuna Elementary School District. The concentration among the four traditional public schools ranged from Toddy Thomas Elementary, where 44.5 percent of students qualified for free or reduced-cost lunches, to South Fortuna Elementary, where the figure was above 80 percent.

At Redwood Prep, meanwhile, just 28 percent of students fall below the income line.

Jager counters that her school receives $1,000 less per student in average daily attendance funding from the state. The estimated statewide average ADA funding for traditional K-6 students this year is $6,450, compared to charter school rates of $5,527 for K-3 and $5,603 for 4-6. Other funding comes from local fundraising efforts and grants, including a two-year federal start-up grant of $350,000 as well as a $10,000 matching grant for technology from the Mel and Grace McLean Foundation, a Fortuna-based philanthropic organization founded by the late owner continued on next page

continued from previous page and founder of Eel River Sawmills.

Critics such as Werner say other needy kids are effectively discouraged from attending, too, including special education students and children who are still learning English.

Again, the numbers seem to bear this out. Last year, more than 18 percent of students in the district were special ed. At Redwood Prep the figure is just 12 percent.

The disparity among English learners is even larger. District-wide, 21.7 percent of students are considered “EL.” At Redwood Prep only four of the 125 students, or 3.2 percent, are English learners.

Critics say that Redwood Prep didn’t do enough outreach to Spanish speakers.

Jager said that an interpreter was available for every enrollment meeting with parents. She added, “We purposely have a member of the Hispanic community on our school board as part of the outreach to that community.” But she acknowledged that the school’s website, the ads placed in local papers and the fliers posted around town were in English only.

(The school is currently working on making the website bilingual, she said.)

The Hispanic community has been growing for years in and around Fortuna.

In the 2010 Census, the 95540 zip code was 17 percent Hispanic/Latino, with the highest concentration in and around town. Last school year, the student body in the Fortuna Union Elementary School District was 45 percent Hispanic while the more rural Rohnerville Elementary School District south of town was 18 percent

Hispanic. Now combined, the district is 31.3 percent Hispanic.

Again, Redwood Prep lags behind.

Just 13.6 percent of its student body is Hispanic.

These trends are not unique

to Redwood Prep. In an extensive study published in 2010, the Civil Rights Project at UCLA found that charter schools isolate students by race and class.

Across the country, the report found, charter schools have tended to exacerbate race and class divides in their communities. In urban areas, the pattern is for charters to see high levels of minority

segregation, especially among black students. Seventy percent of black charter school students in the country attend “intensely segregated minority charter schools,” where 90 percent to 100 percent of students are minorities.

In more racially diverse western states, including California, the pattern is different. Here, the report found, evidence suggests that “charters serve as havens for white flight from public

schools.” Just like the student body at Redwood Prep, charter schools in the West tend to have higher concentrations of white students than the communities that surround them.

Humboldt County is no exception.

Even before Redwood Prep arrived, the report found that our charter schools were 80 percent white, compared to just 69 percent in traditional public schools.

Latinos made up just 6 percent of our county’s charter school enrollment. In traditional schools it was twice that.

The study also echoes Redwood Prep critics by pointing out that English learners and lowincome students may not have the same access to charter schools as white and middle-class children, especially without providing transportation and subsidized lunches.

As for academic performance, Redwood Prep has excelled. Third graders at South Fortuna Elementary narrowly outscored Redwood Prep third graders in English-language arts on the 2012 STAR tests, and its second graders performed better than the charter’s second graders in math. But with those two exceptions, Redwood Prep students outscored students from other district schools in math, English and science at every grade level.

According to the UCLA report, extensive studies have revealed “no net academic gains for [charter school] students as indicated by test scores.” But for now, at least, Redwood Prep is an exception.

Rodriguez said the differences are just too stark. “I’m fine with them being a charter school, and if their demographics matched our district I would not even have a problem with them sharing our campus,” she said. “It’s just the fact that they’re so different and there’s so much tension there.”

Dianna Butcher, who teaches sixth grade at Toddy Thomas and whose kids are enrolled in Ambrosini, is similarly concerned. And she doesn’t see any justice in the way Prop 39 entitles the school to facilities. “I just can’t believe a group of people can come in and say, ‘OK, now we want this and we want this and we want this, and just get out of our way,’ basically, and take away things from kids who really need it the most. You know? I just

am appalled.”

Margie Plant, a third grade teacher at Ambrosini, agreed. “I think we need to maybe review this Prop. 39,” she said. “It doesn’t seem fair or equal, and the facts are that it’s not.”

The thing that concerns Rodriguez the most is the prospect of students noticing the differences and feeling either jealous or self-conscious. “I just don’t think it’s good to teach children that they’re superior or inferior, and I just worry that if they share a campus that would happen.

Let them be at their place; let us be at our place.”

How have other

local charter schools managed to coexist with the traditional schools in their districts?

“I would have to say that we have a very good working relationship,” said Arcata School District Superintendent Pamela Jones, whose district now has four charter schools. “We’ve made a really big effort to bring them on board and be part of our team,” she said. “They’re here to stay, and we need to make the best of the situation.”

Jones attributes the harmony in part to combined staff-development efforts.

“We’ll eat breakfast, we’ll eat lunch, and people have gotten to know one another.

That’s made a big difference.”

When told of the strife in Fortuna, Freshwater Charter School Principal Thom McMahon said he wouldn’t be surprised if that’s a common reaction to any new charter school. “Anything new tends to have some humps you’ve got to get over,” he said. McMahon’s charter school (grades 7 and 8) was created in 1999 to serve students graduating from the traditional Freshwater Elementary (K-6).

Those elementary students used to head to Eureka for middle school, but Freshwater residents liked their school so much they helped create a charter to effectively expand Freshwater into a K-8.

McMahon said the inherent differences between the charter and traditional school systems haven’t caused problems in Freshwater. “I can say this: Our schools actually benefit from that,” he said. As an example, he said that the traditional school provided equipment to the shared computer lab that every student now benefits from. “So I really think it’s about creating that relationship between the two.”

But even in the best situations, charter schools can be a dangerous topic of conversation. “It is a testy issue for people,” said Julie Giannini-Prevede. She’s director of student services at McKinleyville Middle School, a traditional public school, but for a variety of reasons including

proximity, social circles and curriculum, she chose to enroll her kids at Fuente Nueva Charter School. “I don’t bring it up in mixed company.” It’s like circumcision, she said. “People have strong opinions about it.”

Giannini-Prevede sympathizes with parents in Fortuna but expects the tensions will settle down. “With anything new in education there’s going to be backlash — for at least three years, if not five,” she said. “Change is hard.”

She speculated that the low numbers of special ed and English learning students at Redwood Prep might not be the charter school’s fault, entirely. “Generally speaking [traditional] public schools have more resources for special needs kids,” she said. Families with disabled students who require individualized education programs (IEPs) often form relationships with resource teachers early in their child’s life and don’t want to sever that bond.

Garry Eagles, the county’s superintendent of schools, said there may be a similar dynamic at play with English learners.

Yes, there are more of them at Fortuna Elementary School District’s traditional schools, he said, “but I don’t know if that’s necessarily by design of Redwood Prep as much as by the support system provided in the Fortuna program. I mean, they have a lot more resources devoted to [EL] students.”

Eagles also said that concerns about Redwood Prep siphoning off the best students should be put in perspective.

“There is a perception that kids are being stolen away, and in some cases that might be true,” he said. “But that is the purpose of charter schools, is to provide competition and options for parents.”

Still, there remain questions about whether those options are available to all parents.

Last year, Redwood Prep was visited by a two-member inspection team from the Charter School Development Center, a nonprofit group that serves as an approved review board for the California Department of Education. The inspectors spent three days at the school, examining documents, visiting classrooms and generally “taking the temperature of the school” to make sure it was abiding by the guidelines laid out in its charter, said Eric Premack, the organization’s director and founder.

That charter, a 96-page document, lays out strategies for achieving a broad range of goals, including serving and recruiting English learners, low-achieving and economically disadvantaged students. How did the inspectors feel the school is doing?

“Their impressions for the school, particularly for one this new, was that they’ve

made a ton of progress and they’re doing quite well,” Premack said. When it comes to demographics, he said, what’s important is making sure that charter schools are making “good faith efforts” that align with the promises laid out in the charter.

And he said the situation in Fortuna is a common one.

“It’s not uncommon for folks in the traditional schools to get a little freaked out” when charters ask for facilities, he said, especially when resources are in such short supply. “In some localities these become brutal knock-down drag-em-outs” that wind up in court, he said.

Administrators in Fortuna are hoping it doesn’t come to that here.

“We want to collaborate in every aspect,” Jager said. “If there are things that we could possibly offer the other students, we will make every attempt to do that — and vice versa. It’s all how you approach it.”

Jeff Northern is principal of South Fortuna Elementary School, and he’s currently serving as chair of the committee that’s trying to figure out how to grant Redwood Prep’s facilities request. “We’re taking a look at everything. We’re brainstorming every option that we can conceive of,” he said. That includes looking at Fortuna Church of the Nazarene to see if Redwood Prep could possibly stay at its current site. The committee will present options for the district school board to consider. The board will then make an offer to the charter school, probably within the next month, Northern said.

“I think demographics will work themselves out,” said Redwood Prep School Board President Jeremy Stanfield, who works as a realtor locally and serves as another member of the facilities committee. “We haven’t had a chance to become a familiar part of the public education system.”

Critics remain upset about the inequities, and some wounds aren’t likely to heal anytime soon. “I’ve seen a lot of friendships destroyed,” said Butcher, one of the Ambrosini moms. She’s worried about her kids — that they’ll feel inferior, that they’ll lose space at their school, that they’ll be overlooked in classrooms packed full of kids.

But of course, don’t all parents worry about their children?

“I try to keep the focus on the kids, because the emotion is all coming from adults,” said Hafner, the district superintendent. “We need to realize that regardless of how we feel about charter schools, we are one community, and these are all our kids. So we’ve got to come to some solutions.” ●

DIY Delicioso Enchiladas

The secret’s in the peppers

By Jada Calypso Brotman talkofthetable@northcoastjournal.com

I

’m so white. I feel nervous about even suggesting recipes for enchilada sauce. What chutzpah! Honestly, I am not any kind of Mexican master chef; I’ve used the same enchilada recipe from The Vegetarian Epicure my whole life. Besides, we live in California — trying to make my own Mexican food at home seems like more effort than it’s worth. Rita, Luzmila or Alma can make whatever it is with aplomb and low, low prices.

That said, my mind was blown when my brother Max, fresh from the ethnic haven of Fruitvale, Oakland, arrived home bursting with Smug Tales of the City, including: a) What The Urban Gentlewoman Is Wearing and b) a really wonderful enchilada sauce that takes much less time than my tomato-based 1970s stand-by.

Enchiladas are not usually my favorite dish. They are inextricably tied with memories of fourth grade potlucks and usually seemed to involve gallons of tomato sauce, under-salted hippie beans and congealed cheese. As an adult, making adequately seasoned frijoles became feasible, but the tomato sauces I used, while tasty, lacked a certain je ne sais quoi (No sé por qué?).

Basically it seemed like a bland dish.

Fundamentally enchiladas are quite simple: tortillas and sauce and cheese, maybe some protein filling. But like most good Mexican food, the genius lies in the execution of familiar ingredients. These days I make more interesting fillings, and lately, much tastier sauces.

This week we’re mostly exploring sauces. Good enchilada fillings can be found or invented without much trouble. To try out my sauce recipes, I filled corn tortillas with shredded chicken, a generous half cup of one of the sauces, chopped spinach, pine nuts and crema (sour cream thinned with water and a little lime juice). After rolling and arranging them snugly in a baking dish, I poured the remaining sauce over the rolls, sprinkled on a little cheddar and baked them for half an hour.

These simple but deep-flavored sauces, made primarily out of peppers, were a revelation. Still working off the classic French model that a cooked sauce should be complex, it hadn’t occurred to me that a sauce could be made of virtually nothing but peppers and not be too acrid. I also include my jazzed-up version of the old Vegetarian Epicure sauce, improved by — you guessed it — a roasted pepper. ●

16 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • THURSDAY, JAN. 24, 2013 • northcoastjournal.com

1 t. cumin (do you say COOmin or CEWmin?)

Bring liquid to a boil in saucepan.

Add peppers. Boil till soft over medium flame, about 30 minutes. If liquid looks like it’s getting low, add more from reserve. You should gradually add most or all the reserve. Remove saucepan and pull stems off peppers with tongs or brave fingers. Pour pan contents into blender and add remaining ingredients. Blend thoroughly.

Strain and adjust seasonings.

Make enchiladas.

Arno Holschuh’s New Mexico Hangover Sauce (My favorite.) Makes about 2 ½ cups Ingredients and Method: 2 Anaheim peppers 1 pasilla or poblano pepper 1 jalapeño pepper (unless you don’t want any heat, then skip) 1 Tbl. butter ¼ cup flour 1 cup milk 1 cup chicken stock, veggie stock or water 1 cup water in reserve Juice of ½ lime ¾ t. salt (or more) to taste 1 t. cumin First, roast the peppers over an open flame. I use my stove burner. Rotate peppers with tongs until blackened all over. This should take about seve n minutes. Remove peppers to sink and rub under warm water till blackened skin is removed. Cut off tops and remove pith and seeds. You’ll want to wear gloves when seeding jalapeño. Taste just a

little jalapeño — if it’s a very hot one , you may want to use a half, or even a quarter of it. Chop peppers roughly.

Set aside.

In a saucepan, make a roux with butter and flour, which means melt the butter over a medium flame and gradually whisk in flour so it looks like clumpy melty sand. Add milk a bit at time, whisking furiously, still at medium heat. You should now have a thick white sauce. If there are lumps keep whisking. Keep whisking regardless. It’s a whisky business. Gradually add second cup liquid, raising heat so it comes to a low simmer, and yes, whisking. It should be the consistency of a thin pancake batter — if it’s too thick add more liquid, too thin, keep simmering. When desired consistency is reached pour into blender. Add peppers, cumin, salt and lime. Pulse till coarsely homogenized. Taste for seasoning adjustments. If it’s too thic k to pour flowingly, add a little liquid and reblend for a second.

Jada’s Enchilada Sauce Based on The Vegetarian Epicure by Anna Thomas (slightly revised). Makes about 3 cups, enough for eight smallish enchiladas Ingredients and Method: 3 Tbs. olive oil ½ yellow or white onion, chopped 4 cloves minced garlic 1 pound chopped tomatoes (1 large can) ¼ teaspoon each dry oregano and basil 1 cup tomato juice, thinned tomato paste, or water

1 cup vegetable broth with 1 t. cornstarch stirred and dissolved 1 roasted red pepper ½ t. salt Roast pepper, peel and seed as above. Chop finely. Heat olive oil and sauté diced onions till transparent. Add garlic. A minute later add red pepper, tomatoes, salt and herbs. Add tomato juice or water. Simmer for 10 minutes, then add stock and cornstarch. Cook slowly for another 15 minutes, stirring often. If sauce is too thick add a little water. Add salt to taste.

Make enchiladas. Eat them.

Slightly Stoopid.

On Top

Slightly Stoopid, plus Blue Scholars, 100mph Soul, Rita Hosking, assorted alt. and EDM

By Bob Doran

bobdoran@northcoastjournal.com

S

tart with a surfer dude’s devilmay-care attitude, add a touch of ganja-fueled reggae, a little taste of punk rock and hip hop and you have Slightly Stoopid.

The band got its start in the mid-‘90s in Ocean Beach when best buds Miles Doughty and Kyle McDonald were in high school. Bradley Nowell from the like-minded trio Sublime heard them and signed them to his label, Skunk Records.

He even guested on a track on Slightly Stoopid’s 1996 debut, Slightly $toopid.

Sadly, Nowell died from a drug overdose before the record came out.

Stoopid stuck with the slightly sublime reggae-ish beach vibe and ended up working the festival circuit, playing Coachella, Lollapalooza and the N.O. Jazz Fest. The lineup expanded to seven along the way, pulling members from The B Side Players and John Brown’s Body along with special guests from other bands. Stoopid’s most recent disc, Top of the World, includes guest spots by Angelo Moore from Fishbone, Chali 2na from J-5, reggae veterans Barrington Levy and Don Carlos, and saxophonist Karl Denson, an unofficial eighth Slightly Stoopid member. Denson is along on the winter tour that brings Slightly Stoopid to the Mateel Saturday night. (He’s also playing the Mateel’s Black and Red Ball on Feb. 2, with his own band Tiny Universe.)

Hip hop hits the Van Duzer stage Wednesday, Jan. 29, with Seattle duo Blue Scholars. The Scholars formed a decade ago when Filipino-American rapper Geo-

logic (aka George Quibuyen) met Sabzi (aka Alexei Saba Mohajerjasbi), an IranianAmerican jazz pianist turned beat-maker and turntablist. The guys were scholars studying at University of Washington but shifted to music, creating what they call “cinema art rap” aimed at social and political change. Local support for the Duzer show comes from J the Sarge, Itchie Fingaz and Missing Link DJs Matt ‘n’ Adam.

DJ Red‘s “100mph Soul Party” Thursday at the Jambalaya features master cratedigger Red with Mantease and Matt ‘n Adam spinning “nothing but up-tempo, hip-swingin’ ’60s soul,” says Red. “Joining us will be Humboldt Pin-Ups, with their lusty new 2013 calendar available for purchase. (Rumor has it some of the models will be there to sign calendars, but only if you ask nicely.)”

Across town at the Arcata Theatre Lounge Thursday, it’s a wild alt. extravaganza with the synth-pop girl group Blood Gnome playing songs about “kittenless futures, gator wrestling, Italian horror films, jerks and tsunamis.” The gals are joined by surf-noise garage rock duo Shores Galore with Ellis Wallace from The Kiwis and Gregg Dix from Super Brown, and The Hand of Doctor Foxmeat Paints a Monochromatic Rainbow, a doom-pop, witch-house, death-rattle glitch-hop solo project.

If you’ve been paying close attention you know that the recently opened Siren Song Tavern on Second Street in Old Town is a new venture from the folks who used to run the Accident Gallery on

C Street (a little art shop off The Works remains). Thursday the gallery’s Accident Slam poetry night returns at the Siren Song with a poet’s open mic, a competitive slam and a reading by David Holper, who has a new chap book, Ghosts of Silence (Kindle only). In addition there’s bluesy music by ShugaFoot, house band at the nearby Speakeasy. Proceeds go to sending a poet to the Slam Nationals.

Davis folky Rita Hosking sings about forest fires, demolition derbies, culture clash, the working class and hope at a Humboldt Folklife show on Friday at the Arcata Playhouse. Hoskings is backed by Cousin Jack, a combo that involves no cousins — instead it includes her husband, Sean Feder, on Dobro and banjo, Andy Lentz on fiddle and Bill Dakin on standup bass. Expect tunes from a new CD, Little Boat, available only at shows until its official release in March.

Looks like the Fieldbrook Family Market might be closing shop in February, at least for the time being. While neighborhood grocery stores do not typically serve as music venues, this one has had folk and rock bands playing in the store and out back on a regular basis for years. Old Dog plays country rock there on Friday, then there’s at least one more party Feb. 1, featuring Jeff Jolly.

The Jambalaya calendar may say Children of the Sun are at the club Friday night, but the band’s bassist, Drew Mohr, says otherwise. He also plays fretless bass for the HSU Calypso Band spin-off Steel Standing, a 10-piece steel pan ensemble led by Rebekha Zdunich. That’s who’s playing. Opening the show: Gobzilla, with Zach Lehner from Area Sound on the mic and Gobi on turntables.

Guitarist Greg Camphuis‘ new jazz/ funk/Afrobeat big band, Motherlode, returns to the Jambalaya Saturday night for a show that just happens to fall on drummer (and Jambalaya owner) Pete Ciotti’s birthday. (Catch a preview of Motherlode on KHUM Friday noonish.) Pete’s Nucleus band mate Piet Dalmolen debuts his new “post-rock/analog-funk” band Free Rain with an opening set Saturday — that’s Piet on guitar, Tomek Zajaczkowski on keys/ synths, Aaron Drago on bass and Moog, and Corey Winer on drums. Love Piet’s free reigning guitar excursions on the tunes posted on SoundCloud — definitely a band to watch.

More funk Saturday at Humboldt Brews with New Orleans jammers Earphunk (Hammond organ and guitars) on tour with Seattle’s horn-based “funk-tronica” combo Klozd Sirkut.

Blues diva Karen Lovely brings her stellar band to the Riverwood Inn Saturday.

Lovely is relatively new on the scene, and her second album Still the Rain earned her three nominations at the 2011 Blues Music Awards for “Best Contemporary

Blues Album,” “Best Song” (the title track) and “Best Contemporary Blues Female Artist.”

The Angelina Inn has been home to Mike Riley’s Country Jamboree on Sunday afternoons for a couple of months now, with a core band featuring Nashville transplant “Mighty” Mike Riley on vocals and guitar joined by lead guitarist John De Mello (also from Nashville) and bassist John Dias, formerly of The Bandits. It’s not exactly an open jam session, but a wide range of local musicians show up to take part. This week Riley and company also play Saturday night as Mike Riley’s Country Band.

The Bamboozlers play Sunday at Robert Goodman Wines, a show that bassist Chuck Johnson describes as the trio’s first “real” gig, “since we usually just play parties, Arts Alive and such.” The band definitely swings. “Dancing? You decide,” says Chuck.

Deep, dark music at the Jambalaya Tuesday, as ex-16 Horsepower frontman David Eugene Edwards brings his alt. folk powerhouse Wovenhand to town with local psyche drone masters White Manna opening.

Portland band-o-the-week: Water Tower, a hard rockin’ alt. Americana stringband formerly known as Water Tower Bucket Boys. The Trouble opens the Tuesday show at Humboldt Brews.

On the EDM front: The KMUD electronica contingent is throwing a benefit at the Mateel Friday night: Luminous New World features “glitch-a-delic soul whomp” by L.A.-based producer Nico Luminous, Oakland’s Knowa Lusion and Humboldt’s own Hypha, plus visuals by Duff and a fire show by The Mischief Lab. Same Friday, Humboldt Hospitality brings EDM to The Groves in Myers Flat with Damn Son! featuring Grasshoppa and DJ Trey.

Mia NorCal and Bass Harvest present a Conquest Records showcase on Saturday at Red Fox with junglist DJs 45 Thieves and Walkingstick and local support from a busy Grasshoppa.

And Deep Groove Society’s Sundaze on Sunday at the Jambalaya celebrates Tiffany’s Blacklight Birthday Bash with Ximon, JSun and Derek Watts crafting the soundtrack.

Savage Henry’s monthly CU Last Tuesday stand-up night at the Jambalaya features big deal S.F. comics Matt Lieb, Ryan Papazian and OJ Patterson headlining a night of stand-up with locals Josh Duke, Tony Persico and John McClurg, all hosted by Joe Whiskey-Whiskers Deschaine from Ba-Dum-CHH. If Tuesday isn’t good for you, the S.F. crew is hanging around to do two more shows Wednesday, an early all-ages thing at the Works followed by the first ever comedy night at the Angelina Inn. Ha! ●

Mapping High Costs As the hoopla subsides and Humboldt waits to see if Jimmy Kimmel will grace us with his presence in May, Humboldt State University’s Institute of Interdisciplinary Marijuana Research soldiers on with its green studies.

For the first 2013 installment of its marijuanathemed speaker series, the institute will feature HSU geographer Monica Stephens presenting “Data Shadows of the Underground Economy” on Tuesday, Jan. 29, at 5:30 p.m., in Humboldt State’s Native Forum. Stephens’ talk will focus on variations on the cost of buds in different regions. As you can imagine, gathering info on where people are getting their ganja can be a bit difficult. (Insert pothead/paranoia quip.) Thus, Stephens will analyze data collected at the website priceofweed. com — a site that allows users to anonymously submit where and when they last scored their medicine, as well as what specific strain they secured and how much it set them back.

“This site, along with statistical measures used

to model the price, demonstrates that within the U.S. there is a geography to marijuana pricing characterized by lower prices in states with medical marijuana programs and higher prices farther from such areas,” says Stephens.

If you’re inclined to invest some faith in priceofweed.com’s whoever-wants-to-weigh-in polling methods, the handy dandy color coded map on the site illustrates Stephens’ assertion: The Pacific coastal states and Colorado appear to be blessed with the cheapest weed. On the flip, the Midwest’s marijuana budget is the steepest — total buzzkill, North Dakota. (Note: We might have skewed the results a bit with our submission claiming that we’d bought 20 grams of medium quality Yumboldt in Moab, Utah, for $840. But surely everyone won’t do that, right?)

Right. For more info on the HIIMR speakers series, email co-director Josh Meisel at meisel@ humboldt.edu.

Crossing Cultural Boundaries Saxophonist Joe Lovano was raised on jazz.

Growing up in Cleveland, he learned music from his dad, Tony “Big T” Lovano, who led a jazz combo. Joe picked up the sax at the age of 6; when he finished high school he headed for Boston to attend the prestigious Berklee College of Music. He went on to work with and learn from a wide range of jazz greats, from organists Jack McDuff and Dr. Lonnie Smith to big band legends Woody Herman and Mel Lewis.

In the ‘80s Lovano joined guitarist John Scofield’s quartet and explored free jazz in a bass-less trio with Bill Frisell and the innovative drummer/composer Paul Motian.

Thirty years later Lovano is still searching for new JOE LOVANO PHOTO BY JIMMY KATZ horizons. Earlier this year he released Cross Culture, his 23rd record for Blue Note and his third for his Us shifting from his usual tenor and soprano saxes Five quintet, with bassist Esperanza Spalding, James to a tarogato, a Hungarian instrument similar to a Weidman on piano and dual drummers, Lovano’s clarinet, and an aulochrome, a double soprano sax longtime bandmate Otis Brown III and Cuban drumcrafted for him by the Belgian instrument maker mer Francisco Mela.

Your Kids Are Bored.

Here’s Some Dinosaurs Dear Mom and Dad, What have you done for me lately? Do you know that Christmas was an entire month ago?

Most of the presents you bought for me are either broken, lost or were clothes to begin with.

I’m questioning if I still want to be part of this family. ‘Cuz I’m really bored.

Yesterday you asked me if I wanted to go to the zoo. I reminded you that we went last week and also that I hate flamingos — they are stupid and don’t do anything.

How about dinosaurs? I love, love, love dinosaurs and would choose to see some over some dumb pink birds any day. But before you launch into some teachable moment about how dinosaurs lived millions of years ago and do I know what “extinction” means, let me tell you about Erth’s Dinosaur Petting Zoo, which is coming to the Van Duzer Theatre on Tuesday, Jan. 29, at 7 p.m.

Yes, dinosaurs.

I know they’re puppets but, trust me guys, these are rad. Giant, life-like, eyeball-demanding monsters lumbering and flying through lush inflatable environments. When you were passed out on the couch, I used your iPhone to find this YouTube clip where Erth’s Tyrannosaurus Rex ate some kid. I want to be that kid, bad, so take me or we are going to have issues.

Oh, I’ll probably learn something too. That will make you feel less pain when shelling out $25 for you to get in. Luckily, it’s only $12 for us kids. Maybe you can wait in the car.

If you need to check up on anything I’m saying that you don’t believe, check out humboldt. edu/centerarts or call 826-3928. Report back by Tuesday. Don’t blow this.

Rehearsing for the no-pants dance: Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper in Silver Linings Playbook.

Funny in the Head It may not get bipolar disorder right, but Silver Linings is an actors showcase

By Dev Richards

filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK. There are two ways to watch Silver Linings Playbook. You can view it with an open mind and generous concern for the human condition or you can have a background in psychology. I tried my damnedest to achieve the former, but eventually the latter could not be ignored. Despite brilliant performances by every actor involved, the misrepresentations of mental health (and the accompanying industry) were distractingly histrionic. If it weren’t being lauded as a great depiction of bipolar disorder, this would be more easily forgivable.

Let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater, though. In the competitive Oscar-driven atmosphere of this season, accuracy isn’t as vital as drama. Silver Linings Playbook is brimming with drama, just oozing the human condition all over the place. Pat Solitano (Bradley Cooper) leaves a mental health facility in Baltimore against medical advice and returns home with a delusional plan: prove to his exwife that he is no longer the “undiagnosed

bipolar” man who once beat her lover to within an inch of his life. He’s better now.

He’s changed. He doesn’t need meds. He’s got this under control.

Of course, Pat’s plan goes astray when he meets Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence), a girl with mental health issues of her own.

A darkly comedic romance develops and follows the generally predictable rules of quirky romantic comedies. Pat’s family and friends all serve as generous enablers to Pat’s manic behavior, providing a series of speed bumps on his road to recovery. His obsessive-compulsive father, played brilliantly (duh) by Robert De Niro, is one of the largest hurdles in Pat’s lane.

The chemistry between De Niro and Cooper bolsters the otherwise hokey premise, and may be responsible for most of the Oscar-related attention the film is receiving. Both actors deserve their nominations, and it’s a shame that Jacki Weaver’s portrayal of Pat’s mother was snubbed. Less Oscar-worthy, but still fairly incredible, is Chris Tucker’s performance as Pat’s hospital-escapee friend. Give this

Movie Times man more work, please … just no more Rush Hour sequels.

The slow pace provides an awkward juxtaposition to the manic behavior of the characters, and makes the ending seem unworthy of such a build-up. It’s doubtful that Silver Linings Playbook will beat the other contenders for Best Picture this year; the competition is fierce, with heavy-hitters like Lincoln and Argo in the forefront. But the when it comes to acting accolades, this film deserves some statues. R. 122m.

MAMA. Guillermo del Toro’s name is synonymous with the modern creaturefeature. From Hellboy to Pan’s Labyrinth, the beasts that leap from his imagination are at once disturbing and fascinating.

Universal Pictures was obviously well aware of del Toro’s reputation as a monster-maker, as his name is all over Mama, like an overzealous stamp of approval.

But it’s all a smokescreen; del Toro may have been there in spirit (as an executive producer), but his connection seems to end there.

Mama is really nothing more than an extremely basic campfire story; this becomes blaringly obvious once you watch the director’s (Andrés Muschietti) original short film of the same name (available on the YouTubes). The plot is an afterthought; a sloppy structure meant to prop up the title monster.

A restless soul with unfinished business haunts an abandoned cabin in the woods of New England. When two young sisters are abandoned in the woods, Mama takes them under her blackened, wispy wings. Once the girls are rescued and put into the care of their Uncle Lucas (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and his too-coolfor-school, bass-playing girlfriend (Jessica Chastain), Mama wreaks poltergeistian havoc. There are tiny, pointless subplots, but they are completely ignorable.

Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty) gets most of the screen time, adding an extra layer of frustrating boredom to a film that already had a tenuous hold on my attention. Truly, the most notable performances come from the children, Megan Charpentier and Isabelle Nélisse. Theirs are the only characters in the original short, and they could easily carry the story on their own.

In defense of director Andrés Muschietti, Mama is his first full-length film. It’s brimming with potential but falls short of living up to the standards generally guaranteed by the name Guillermo del Toro.

With practice, Muschietti could become something much greater. For now, he falls somewhere between mundane and mediocre. PG13. 100m.

Previews

HANSEL & GRETEL: WITCH HUNTERS. The Brothers Grimm tale gets updated/ defiled in this action-adventure, which finds the resourceful German siblings all grown up and making a career out of vigilante witch slaughter. Starring Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton. R. 100m.

MOVIE 43. Here’s an odd duck — a dozen interconnected short films, each with its own director, center on a lowbrow premise (three kids scouring the Internet to find the world’s most banned movie) and feature one of the most impressive casts ever ensembled, including A-listers (Hugh Jackman, Emma Stone), D-listers (Johnny Knoxville, Snooki), Oscar winners (Kate Winslet, Halle Berry) and J.B. Smoove. R. 90m.

PARKER. Since breaking onto the scene in Guy Ritchie’s Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998), Jason Statham has built a résumé of cinematic ass-kicking to rival the likes of Charles Bronson and Chuck Norris. Here he gets a quasiprestigious director in Taylor Hackford (An Officer and a Gentleman, Ray) and a sultry costar in Jennifer Lopez, but this is still Statham’s vehicle. R. 118m.

The cheeky Brits behind zombie parody/homage Shaun of the Dead (2004) returned three years later to give buddy-cop movies the same treatment in Hot Fuzz, which comes to the Arcata Theatre Lounge Friday at 8 p.m. R. 121m. The theater’s leisurely Harry Potter retrospective continues Sunday evening with the sixth installment, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009). PG. 153m. And finally, next Wednesday’s Sci-Fi Pint and Pizza night trades camp for gloss with the 1999 insta-classic The Matrix. 6:45 p.m. R. 136m.

The Humboldt County Library’s latest based-on-the-book film series, called “Sin in Soft Focus: Pre-Code Hollywood,” will wrap up next Tuesday with Baby Face (1933), in which “a young woman (Barbara Stanwyck) uses her body and her sexuality to help her climb the social ladder.”

Scandalous! 6:30 p.m. at the Eureka main branch. 75m.

If you’re looking for a film series that puts sin into sharper focus (and on a much larger scale), check out Climate Justice Movie Nights, a trio of hard-hitting environmental documentaries that will be screened over the next three Friday nights. Hosted by the Rhizome Infoshop, 47 W. Third St. in Eureka, the series kicks off this Friday at 7 p.m. with Crude, a 2009 doc about the lawsuit filed by 30,000 indigenous Ecuadorians against Chevron for dumping toxic waste into the Amazon.

Organizers say the $5 suggested donations will benefit the Tar Sands Blockade,

a coalition of landowners fighting to stop the Keystone XL pipeline.

Continuing

ARGO. Ben Affleck helms a thrilling and surprisingly funny account of the 1979-80 Iran hostage crisis, starring alongside Alan Arkin, John Goodman and Bryan Cranston. R. 120m.

BROKEN CITY. A shady mayor (Russell Crowe in a tux) hires an ex-cop-turnedprivate Dick (Mark Wahlberg) to follow his wife. R. 109m.

CIRQUE DU SOLEIL: WORLDS AWAY 3D. Now you can watch the renowned performance troupe contort, trapeze and twirl from the relative comfort of a theater seat. PG. 97m.

DJANGO UNCHAINED. Quentin Tarantino’s violent Blaxploitation fantasy about an avenging slave in the antebellum South is the most audacious and entertaining film of the year. Starring Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz and Leonardo DiCaprio.

R. 165m.

GANGSTER SQUAD. Despite a talented cast that includes Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone and Sean Penn (as the notorious Mickey Cohen), this picture is all style, no substance. R. 113m.

A HAUNTED HOUSE. A Scary Moviestyle parody of the found-footage subgenre, this crude comedy (think ghost sodomy) aims low and still misses. R. 86m.

THE HOBBIT. Exploiting the riches of Middle Earth once again, Peter Jackson’s bloated Lord of the Rings prequel (part one of three) looks beautiful but sags.

PG13. 169m.

JACK REACHER. Tom Cruise stars as an Army major turned vigilante drifter who gets pulled into a mass-shooting case that’s not what it seems. Slick if forgettable. PG. 130m.

THE LAST STAND. The Austrian steroid balloon who used to be our governor goes back to what he does best: mumbling one-liners and blowin’ shit up. R. 107m.

LES MISÉRABLES. Director Tom Hooper (The King’s Speech) brings the mega-selling Broadway musical (based on Victor Hugo’s French historical novel) to the screen with corny bombast. PG13.

157m.

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.

ZERO DARK THIRTY. Director Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker) crafts a taut thriller that follows a young CIA agent’s (Jessica Chastain) dogged 10-year pursuit of Bin Laden. R. 157m.

Le Havre Written and directed

by Aki Kaursimäki - Criterion/Match Factory

The cinematic landscape of Finnish writer-director Aki Kaursimäki is one of offbeat bleakness.

In his early films, such as 1988’s Ariel, the flatness of color matches the film’s tone and deadpan, working-class characters. No matter what dreadful situation Kaursimäki’s characters are experiencing in his universe, there is never a sense of romanticism, hipness or sadistic glee. Instead, there’s an understated sense of humor coupled with an empathy reminiscent of Chekhov.

Kaursimäki’s most recent full-length feature Le Havre, named for the northern French-Normandie port town where the film takes place, is his most humane work to date. It centers on an elderly Frenchman, Marcel Marx (played superbly by veteran French actor André Wilms) who shines shoes for a living, and how his modest but content life intersects with a young Gabonese refugee, Idrissa (portrayed wonderfully by Blondin Miguel), who is fleeing from local and federal authorities.

Kaursimäki uses the current issues and narratives of immigration throughout greater Europe and a sense of a fading “Old World” to weave an ingenious tale.

Le Havre is an old port city, simultaneously hosting a sense of permanency and a constant flow of transient existence. For Kaursimäki, it’s a perfect setting. His characters have always lived on the fringes of contemporary life, yet are bound together in an unspoken community. By pulling together native French outsiders and immigrant characters, the Finnish director reveals how outdated social rituals and objects still function to create new myths and communities. Antiquated objects and rituals of the “Old World” are active throughout Le Havre, including a jukebox, rotary phones, neighborhood cafés and shops and reading aloud to one another. Idrissa, who finds himself alone in Marcel’s room, discovers a Victrola turntable and plays the 78 rpm disc on it, which happens to be Blind Willie McTell’s 1928 recording of “Statesboro Blues.” We witness Idrissa’s careful listening to this scratchy blues standard and see how it reflects the young character’s own emotional situation.

French film icon Jean-Pierre Léaud, star of French New Wave classics including Truffaut’s masterpiece, The 400 Blows, is cast in a small role, as is Luce Vigo, daughter of cinema legend Jean Vigo, offering a subtle, reverent homage to the language, art and lineage of French film. Cinematographer Timo Salminen fuses rich colors with a flat sheen to produce a hand-tinted postcard effect, as in a Douglas Sirk melodrama. Some critics have labeled the film as fable-like, but it’s mythology that Kaursimäki is interested in, one articulated, preserved and expressed by old-fashioned culture. And Le Havre wonderfully accomplishes just that — in spades.

Instant Volcano

O

n the afternoon of Feb. 20, 1943, Dionisio Pulido was burning some brush on his Michoacán farm, 200 miles west of Mexico City, when he saw a fissure open up in the ground nearby. In his words, “I set about to ignite the branches again when I felt a thunder, the trees trembled and I turned to speak to [my wife] Paula; and it was then I saw how, in the hole, the ground swelled and raised itself [six or eight feet] high, and a kind of smoke or fine dust, gray, like ashes, began to rise up … and there was a smell of sulfur.” A day later, a 50-foot cone had formed; within a week it was 150 feet high; and a year later the cone — now a full-blown volcano — was more or less at its present height, about 1,400 feet above the surrounding countryside. By 1952, it had stopped growing, the eruptions ceased, and the volcano’s active life was over.

Named after the closest village, “Paricutín” is today an extinct 9,186-foot (above sea level) cinder cone, which has the distinction of being the first volcano that scientists have witnessed from birth to death. Within a year of its genesis, lava from the volcano engulfed an area of about 10 square miles, including two villages, San Salvador Paricutín and San Juan Parangaricutiro. The lava moved slowly enough that villagers were able to safely

evacuate and, eventually, to reestablish their lives in a new location nearby, Nuevo San Juan. Today, the towers, facade and altar of the 17th century church of San Juan are all that remain, lone sentinels in a sea of black lava. No one died directly from the eruption, although three people were fatally struck by volcano-generated lightning.

Volcán Paricutín is the youngest of about 1,400 relatively small cinder-cone volcanoes scattered over the central Mexican Michoacán-Guanajuato volcanic field, a region about 100-by-150-miles in size.

Cinder cones are by far the most common volcanic landform on our planet, most of which are “monogenetic,” i.e. once they’re done erupting, they’re done, never to come back to life. Which isn’t to say there’s no activity whatever on Paricutín.

When we hiked around the summit crater last month, we saw many plumes of steam to remind us that it wasn’t so long ago that this was the site of a fierce eruption, when a volcano the height of the Empire State Building dramatically changed the landscape of Michoacán in a few brief months. l Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo.com) and his wife walked four hours across a rugged lava field in the cause of journalistic integrity for this report.

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 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 responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 707-268-1205, using the file number assigned to the this case 2012F006.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

ine & Cind Roth and Jasm

Meet our staff Murphy’s really is just one big happy family!

Hilde enthusiastically says, “Working with my daughter is fine!”

And Cindy says, “I love it!”

Cindy has worked just over a month at Murphy’s Market Deli, but she brought 25 years of restaurant management experience to the job.

Jim & Hilde M

cConnell and Ja

smine Masterso

Hilde has been with Murphy’s since 2004 and has continued to show her fabulous German cooking flair in the deli’s entrees, side dishes and salads.

Hilde and her husband Jim will celebrate their 49th wedding anniversary in 2013.

Cindy and her beau, Larry Roth, with Compton Electric, play at the Ferndale river bar as often as they can. Cindy and her daughter Jasmine, like to zip along on the dune buggy. Larry is the one who likes riding dirt bikes. Hilde says of Larry, “He’s a sweetheart!”

Since Cindy was “old enough to walk” she has been going to Murphy’s. “We lived close by.

When I was five I remember buying Pepsi in a bottle and candy. That was when the store was still located across the street.”

Now both mom and daughter work at Murphy’s and are having a good time! The deli has wonderful fresh food for breakfast, lunch and dinner that is hot and ready for you in a flash!

Stop by and see how easy it is to grab a quick lunch for yourself or a complete fresh hot dinner for your family.
