Dems, Jobs, Limos

Editor: I learned a lot from Ryan Burns’ article about the Humboldt County Democratic Central Committee (“Dem Schism,” April 26). I am also an associate member and as such have no voting rights. I do, however, attend most meetings. I vigorously object to Burns’ saying Richard Marks left “in a huff.” Richard had been the target of unrelenting criticism for several months because of his choices in two races. Richard certainly doesn’t need me to say so, but his deep, longterm commitment to unions and his principled stand on many of the issues facing us should speak for themselves. Like the rest of us in the working class, Richard knows the value of living-wage jobs. HCDCC has had increasingly nasty, difficult endorsement fights among the limousine liberals, environmentalists, and those of us raised in the working class. As David Hull has suggested in his Prosperity! presentation, as a community we need to decide whether we want a community with living-wage jobs for ourselves and our children or whether we want to keep fighting about what we do want.

Editor: Thank you for the succinct look at the schism within the Democratic Party here in Humboldt. Richard Marks implies that protecting the environment is a specialty of the far left. God help us. Far-lefties and whackos are the only people who believe that the environment is more important than our immediate financial needs. Considering that “environment” means the health of our planet, the only home we have, you’d think it would rate a little higher. Meanwhile, it’s more and more apparent that we’re headed for big trouble on a global scale. We’re hurtling into a future that looks increasingly grim. Many people acknowledge the depredations posed by global climate change, the huge problems we’re leaving for our children and grandchildren, and then they say, “Yes, but … ” But what? When people talk about balancing environmental concerns with the economy, they always mean the same thing -- more development. More pollution, more greenhouse gases, more pavement, more energy-gobbling buildings and vehicles. We have a better-than-average balance in Humboldt County right now, but it’s under assault every day. How much more “balancing” do we want?

Wouldn’t the two sides of this debate come together if development meant something different? More than jobs provided by business-as-usual, we desperately need new ways of doing business. Our most pressing priorities are clean energy and smart technologies that use less energy. Give us models of sustainability and ecological stewardship. Loosen the

death-grip of the fossil fuels profiteers. Think about what our needs really are. Think about our grandchildren. Martha Walden Westhaven Editor: I was surprised to read your article about the divide in the Humboldt Democratic Party that included my photo, but

nothing of what I said on the subject. I’d like to express some of my thoughts on the subject. The Humboldt County Democratic Central Committee is the grassroots structure of the Democratic Party that should be developing Democratic candidates to run for local office. Some of our other functions are endorsing candidates, raising money for the party, registering voters and representing

Humboldt Democrats at the state and national party level. Contrary to the claims of one of my opponents, we absolutely support creating living-wage jobs, sustainable development and expanding our economic base so that people can support themselves and their families.

continued from previous page the candidates for the Central Committee is the imperative to support Democratic candidates in local elections. The insurgent group of candidates routinely supports non-Democrats for local offices while purporting to be loyal Democrats. Most of those they have supported in the past are former Republicans who still embrace Republican values, like blaming poor people for their poverty or believing in “trickle-down” economics. This support for non-Democrats is my main disagreement with our opponents. If they wish to do this as private citizens, that is their right, but don’t pretend to be leaders in the Democratic Party while stabbing us in the back in local elections. If you can’t even support your local Democratic candidates, you shouldn’t be trying to take control of our Central Committee. Our party has a big tent of ideals and perspectives and I embrace the debate that happens from these varied positions. It’s time that Democrats pull together to support our ideals and promote our local Democratic candidates. Linda Atkins, Humboldt County Democratic Central Committee, District 4

Do the needs of the state parks in Del Norte, Humboldt and a bit of Mendocino call for a full-time geologist, plus a full-time archaeologist? What about that landscape architect? (As one person put it, “But I thought the parks were already landscaped?”) More to the point, do the people of California prefer to retain those positions while parks are shut down? It’s important to remember that park closures were not mandated by the governor or the legislature. That idea came from the Department of Parks and Recreation itself, and it stinks of self-serving politics. Susan Nolan McKinleyville

Speak, Creek Freak

Editor: As a lifelong creek freak, I enjoyed Barry Evans’ latest column re: Six Rivers (“Field Notes,” May 3). Please note, that while the Klamath “originates” in Oregon, the Smith (which originates around Youngs Peak on the Del Norte/Siskiyou County border) has major tributaries originating in Curry County Oregon (i.e. Rowdy Creek, North Fork, Diamond Creek (both Main and North Forks), and Shelly Creek (barely). Baldface and Chrome Creeks (tributary to the North Fork) originate around Chetco Peak (Kalmiopsis Wilderness Area), at least 10 miles inside Oregon). Thank you. Marvin Goss McKinleyville

Farce Impression

Editor: I’ve learned that some Journal readers didn’t “get” my letter of April 19 (“Mailbox”). They thought that I really was accusing Editor Carrie Peyton Dahlberg of “badgering, beleaguering and bullying” and other “pernicious conduct.” I didn’t mean any of the unkind things I wrote about Ms. Peyton Dahlberg. My letter was a parody of a letter published the previous week, with her name inserted in place of the person attacked in that letter. My intent was to show how ridiculous and offensive the original letter was and to suggest that the Journal think more carefully before printing character assassinations in its letters column. Lastly, my apologies to any friends who were concerned that I’d gone around the bend. Jim Hight Arcata

Correction:

A typo in last week’s story “Super Pay” grossly inflated the annual budget that Humboldt County supervisors handle. The correct figure is $300 million. The Journal regrets the error.

Trees, Please The beauty police keep an eye on Caltrans’ Broadway studies By Heidi Walters

heidiwalters@northcoastjournal.com

ust before noon last Wednesday, as members of Keep Eureka Beautiful’s landscape and beautification committee were settling around a table in an office building in Old Town, one of them handed a photocopy of a recent New York Times opinion piece called “Why Trees Matter” to another member and said, “Read this.” Julian Berg, a designer with LACO Associates, looked at a couple of other attendees standing nearby and repeated, “You should read that. It’s really good.” The article, by Jim Robbins, begins by saying that trees “are on the front lines of our changing climate.” He notes how we have slaughtered, abused or ignored our planet’s trees, severely underestimating their ability to convert sunlight into food, filter air and water, “release vast clouds of beneficial chemicals,” shade us from the summer sun, sequester carbon dioxide and, by virtue of their beauty alone, make us feel good. Robbins notes research showing how a “walk in the woods … reduces the level of stress chemicals in the body and increases natural killer cells in the immune system, which fight tumors and viruses. Studies in inner cities show that anxiety, depression and even crime are lower in a landscaped environment.” Then the committee got down to business. First topic: What to do about Caltrans’ failure to include landscaping in a feasibility study of potential improve-

ments to the Broadway/Highway 101 corridor? The civic group Keep Eureka Beautiful was among several groups and individuals — everyone from bicyclists to environmentalists to business owners — invited to give early suggestions for Caltrans’ Broadway Feasibility Study. They all first met in early 2011 to talk about ways to improve safety and efficiency — and beauty, presumably, otherwise why invite the Keep Eureka Beautiful folks? The focus was on a three-mile stretch between the entrance to Kmart on the south end to where the road splits into Fourth and Fifth streets (referred to by Caltrans as the “Fourth/ Fifth couplet”). It’s a severely congested road, a nonstop jittering of commuters, shoppers and Highway 101 travelers. About 35,000 cars a day slog through. The sidewalks are intermittent, the driveways and cross streets numerous, the distances between crosswalks long, and cars have to jockey for position with bicyclists and pedestrians. Families push strollers across the road from the neighborhood on the east to the markets and other services on the west. And among this busy milieu are probably a good number of folks with anxiety, depression and even crime brewing in their hearts. Caltrans’ reasons for doing the feasibility study include the fact that collision rates along some parts of this stretch are four times the statewide average for similar roads.

8 North Coast Journal • Thursday, May 10, 2012 • northcoastjournal.com

Just before a public open house in February at the Wharfinger Building to present three potential scenarios for tweaking traffic flow along the roadway, Caltrans did a dry run with all the groups it had invited to give early suggestions. All scenarios — low build, medium build and high build — include closing the northbound leg of Fairfield, a road that dives cockeyed into the intersection of Wabash and Broadway; and putting in a signal at Hawthorne Street. The mediumbuild narrows the median to 2.5 feet from Cedar Street to the Fourth/Fifth couplet (making more room, perhaps, for bike lanes and sidewalks). It also adds a signal at Clark Street, a location featuring a fast, blind curve right by Broadway Medical where, no doubt, there have been innumerable near if not actual collisions between coffee drinkers, gym rats, postal patrons and UPS trucks. The high-build adds to that a 12-foot median between Kmart and Cedar Street, with turn pockets and openings only at signaled intersections. The presenters showed pictures of each. Aside from a smattering of little green spaces planted by some business owners, each scenario is a long, gray monotony of concrete and pavement. The high-build scenario, according to Caltrans engineers’ calculations, would make traffic flow more swiftly, safely and efficiently than the other options. Whatever. Where were the trees? And the grass? “At that meeting, I looked at Jeff [Pimentel, Caltrans’ project manager] and said, ‘I don’t see any landscaping anywhere,’” said Ron Kuhnel, vice president of Keep Eureka Beautiful. Landscaping tells tourists this is a town you want to stop and have lunch in. Or shop in. Kuhnel told a story: Friends of his wanted to retire to Eureka. They came for a visit, entering town by way of Broadway. And they said “No way.” They settled in McKinleyville instead. What’s wrong with Broadway? Sidewalks that peter out or become dirt paths. Decrepit residential motels, faded signs and boarded up buildings that have been empty for years. Sure, everything we could need or want is also on this street: car parts, pharmaceuticals, groovy groceries, gasoline, ankle braces, antiques, fast food, middlebrow restaurants, espresso, fresh fish, cell phones. And some of these shopkeepers have adopted their block and keep their properties clean and planted. Nothing they do, however, seems to fully mitigate the crass pall that hangs over much of the roadway. For years, people have schemed to fix up ugly Broadway. After Caltrans lost funding to blast a freeway through the heart of Eureka, the department, the city, Humboldt County and others turned their sights on that sad thoroughfare. The city

completed a master plan in 1996 for improving Broadway, and in 1999 received $2 million to implement part of it — prettying up the Fourth and Fifth street corridor through downtown Eureka with trees and kiosks. Later, a horse sculpture went up in a planter at the north entrance. Broadway and the south gateway — where another sculpture and plants would go — have languished as priorities shifted and funding grew scarce, said Assistant City ManagerOperations Mike Knight. Keep Eureka Beautiful also formed in 1996. Its members aim to plant trees along every street, and so far they have planted quite a few. They also help keep city spaces tidy. At last week’s meeting, they were talking about an outing to pull weeds in that horse sculpture planter. Yet another group has sprung up: a “Broadway action team,” formed as part of “Prosperity 2012,” a follow-up to the 1999 “Prosperity!” in which multiple agencies drummed up an economic development strategy to guide city and county planners. That group will present its recommendations in June. Caltrans, by its nature, must focus on traffic flow, safety and how to fit new features — sidewalks, bike lanes, turn signals, medians — into a constrained corridor abutted by buildings and bluffs. These other groups want safety, of course, but also beauty and livability — maybe things like tree-graced medians and sidewalks, colored bike lanes for better visibility, bioswales (planted depressions) to absorb runoff and filter it before it seeps to the bay, and grassy areas separating sidewalks from the road. Wonderful ideas. But there’s no money, yet, to do them. Even Caltrans’ Broadway feasibility study doesn’t have money attached. It’s not an actual project, said District 1 Deputy Director Cheryl Willis. Rather, it’s a sort of master plan that will make Broadway improvement projects more competitive for state funds. The study also is a pilot project for Caltrans’ engineers to practice using a new modeling tool that allows them to simulate what happens to traffic flow when you tweak a certain element — say, put in a narrower median or close off a side street. “The modeling just tells you how things flow through there,” Willis said. “Landscaping is going to be part of the plan.” That wasn’t evident to Keep Eureka Beautiful, however, said Berg, until it met in April with Willis and District 1 Director Charlie Fielder. At that point, Caltrans invited the group to come up with some landscaping suggestions. So that’s what the group is doing now. Caltrans will rework the initial ideas for Broadway and have another round of public meetings later this year. Now’s the time to be pondering, again, what we all want for Broadway. It is not, apparently, too late to add trees. •

Meet our Staff Kelsey started shopping at Murphy’s while she was attending HSU. She and her boyfriend Blaine, a HSU forestry major, shop there daily. Kelsey decided to apply for a job at Murphy’s and had to wait a bit for an opening. By the time Kelsey came on board she had lots of friends at Murphy’s. She has since graduated from HSU with a major in recreation and tourism and a minor in business marketing. And just where can you find Kelsey? Behind the meat counter! “We have a great time. Customers like seeing a girl in the meat department,” she says. Kelsey and Blaine had attended the same high school in San Diego and met up again at an Arcata football party. Kelsey likes to hike and walk the beaches and be outdoors as much as possible. Kelsey also helped last summer at Murphy’s outdoor BBQ grill and she can answer any questions you have about preparing a delicious meat dish for dinner tonight.

Blog Jammin’ GOVERNMENT / BY RYAN BURNS / MAY 8, 1:41 P.M.

Kirk Girard Resigns As you may have read elsewhere (LoCO, TS), Kirk Girard, the embattled director of community development services for Humboldt County, has resigned. After some bruising years out in front of the county’s General Plan update, Girard had his department cut in half by the Board of Supervisors two months ago. That’s apparently when he started job hunting. Girard, who was hired by the county in 1997, was slated to lead a smaller division overseeing economic development and natural resources. Instead he’ll head to Santa Clara County, where he’s been hired as the planning manager. His last day with Humboldt County will be June 8. ● BUSINESS / BY HEIDI WALTERS / MAY 4, 5:33 P.M.

Come, Sailor Sailors, merchants, workerbees, all: Stuff your ears with bees wax or tie thee to the mast of your sane life, because here comes The Siren’s Song. OK, you’ve got a few months before the “danger” arises. By August, business partners Phyllis Barba and Nathan Swenson hope to open their new tavern, The Siren’s Song, on the bottom floor of that brick beauty in Old Town Eureka known originally as the Healy Brothers Building, on Second Street between D and E. Prior to a long hiatus that culminated in 2010 with a jarring earthquake, the 1908 structure housed the Old Town Bar & Grill. The building was doomed for demolition after the quake, until Kurt Kramer and his Kramer Investment Corporation bought it. Old Town regulars have watched and waited for more than two years as the building was gutted and rebuilt. The work continues. But new planters have emerged on one side. New windows have been installed. And now an ABC license application to sell beer has been posted in a window — signs of the first tenant. Barba, reached today by phone at Accident Gallery where she’s part owner, said she and Swenson (a soils science lecturer at Humboldt State University) plan to offer local and regional craft and microbrewed beers on tap and in bottles, as well as specialty Belgian and sour beers from Europe. (They’re not brewing their own just yet.) They’ll have six packs, too, for sale and will serve a limited menu from Arise Gluten-Free Baking Co. plus

more yummies possibly from Loleta Bakery, Henry’s Olives and other local food producers. “The decor is going to be reminiscent of Victorian nautical Eureka history — a lot of redwood fixtures and furniture from that era,” said Barba. And the name? To lure you in, of course, with the irresistible song of hops and yeast so that you will “never want to leave and will just keep drinking beer.” There’s lots of work to do before this can all take shape, however. Chris Mikkelsen, Kramer project coordinator, said the next step is to complete the floor plan for the tavern and then apply for a building permit. Once that’s in hand, the partners can build up the interior. Kramer Investment Corp. is in talks with other potential tenants but nothing’s firmed up yet for the other spaces in the building: two other retail suites on the bottom floor and several office suites on the second and third floors. Mikkelsen says Old Town’s been luring all sorts of businesses lately, and empty storefronts are filling up: Restoration Hardware’s old spot will become Sassafras’ new home; a new restaurant’s going into the old Hurricane Kate’s, The Local is in the former sushi place, the Vance is nearly full, and so on. “There’s a ton of activity in Old Town right now, and it’s really exciting,” he said.

“On that first day,” she said, one Tea Partier was incensed to learn that his health care benefits wouldn’t start until a month later. Another initially refused insurance, vowing to repeal and replace “Obamacare,” but changed his mind later when his child became ill. Also on Day One, Tea Partiers vowed to read the Constitution aloud every day in session. Bass said, “Which one? The one where women can’t vote and blacks are subhuman?” They soon abandoned the effort. Recollecting her first year in Congress, she read from a long list of attempts by her new colleagues to defund all women’s health services for contraception and abortion, including one failed bill that would have made it illegal for hospitals to perform abortions even to save a woman’s life. “Now it’s 1½ years later and what have they done? … I feel sorry for [House Speaker] John Boehner. He can’t get his own bills passed,” Bass said. Huffman, who spoke later, is one of eight Democrats, two Republicans and two independents running to represent the 2st District in the U.S. Congress. The event was one of many for candidates this weekend in Humboldt. The race is heating up with just 30 days to election time. According to new primary rules, only the top two candidates, Democrat or Republican, will advance to the run-off in November.

Former Speaker Speaks

Class with M. Night

“White guy, white guy, white guy, white guy, white guy, white guy, white guy … Karen Bass.” That was Assemblymember Wes Chesbro describing the gallery of Assembly Speaker portraits at the state Capitol to an adoring group of Dems-supportingJared Huffman. He introduced her as the keynote speaker at a Friday luncheon at the Eureka Women’s Club. (OK, so he forgot about Willie Brown.) Bass — who served alongside former Assembly member Patty Berg, host of the event, as well as Huffman in Sacramento — went on to become a member of Congress in the infamous incoming freshman Class of 2010. Her partisan tales did not disappoint the crowd. “We had 87 new Republican members — 60 of them were in the Tea Party –- and nine Democrats. They [Tea Party members] were basically protestors and woke up one day and had to make a transition from protesting to governing.”

You’ve undoubtedly heard that director M. Night Shyamalan was in Humboldt recently making a movie called After Earth with actor Will Smith and his son Jaden. He also visited with a group of young, local filmmakers. Here’s the inside story on that encounter, written by one of the students, Ciara Cheli-Colando: This last Tuesday, the Eureka GULCH Teen Filmmaking class received unexpected guests: M. Night Shyamalan, with his wife and daughter. He had just finished a day’s shoot in Southern

Humboldt, and he came and spoke with us for about 45 minutes at the invitation of our teacher, Nathan Davis-Floyd. Our filmmaking class is made up of nine students, aged 12-17, who are learning to script, direct, shoot and edit our own short films. Classmate Skylar Anderson asked the director how he had gotten from being where we are to where he is now. Shyamalan shared successes and flops, such as the time he sold two screenplays at once and had to choose which one to make, and the time that his first movie in India closed two weeks after it opened. I asked Shyamalan what inspired him to write. He answered, “Writing is a form of empowerment for me. I don’t like to be a victim.” The director said that he often writes about himself, and that his wife appears in many of his stories.

Larry Glass leaves The Works After more than four decades behind the counter, Larry Glass has left The Works. The former Eureka city councilman and longtime environmental activist said Wednesday that it was simply “time to move on” from the record store, which has become a North Coast institution. The good news? Glass left the store in the competent hands of longtime employee Bandon Taylor. (Fun trivia: Bandon’s dad, Rich Taylor, was an employee of The Works in the 1970s.) “It’s been a good run,” said Glass, who began his vinyl jockey career in southern California before coming to Arcata in 1971. When he first started at The Works it was next to the Minor Theatre, and the landlord at the time didn’t really understand the concept of a record store, Glass recalled. “He said we couldn’t play music!” Shortly thereafter the store moved into an old barbershop at 1610 G St., next to what’s now the Wildflower Cafe. (At the time it was Northtown Books, in case you’ve always wondered where that name came from). In the early days, Glass co-owned The Works with Dave Mulhern. After expanding to Eureka the duo split up, with Mulhern taking the Arcata store and Glass taking Eureka. (Glass later took over both locations, which continued moving to different storefronts over the years.) Asked about his future plans, Glass said he intends to “enjoy my life more,” which means spending more time with his granddaughter and working for environmental causes. Glass is president of the board of the Northcoast Environmental Center and also involved with the Trinity County-based SAFE (Safe Alternatives for our Forest Environment).

OBITS / BY RYAN BURNS / MAY 1, 3:20 P.M.

Heather Bonser-Bishop The following was submitted by Journal contributor Stephanie Silvia: Heather Bonser-Bishop, a 39-yearold mother, nonprofit consultant and active community member in Trinidad, drowned Saturday while paddle boarding with her husband and two daughters on the Chetco River. She and her 11-year-old daughter were behind the rest of the family when her board and line became tangled with a submerged tree, pulling her under. Heather was a gorgeous, brilliant mother, wife and community member, always passionately involved in the moment. She wore her signature long hair parted down the middle; colorful, ankle-length hippie skirts that cascaded past her long legs; flip-flops or platform sandals; blue eye shadow; and a full, wide smile. She was opinionated, loving, and bursting with causes, ideas and friendship. Heather, who received an MBA from Humboldt State University, had spent years on the Trinidad School Board. She served seven years as executive director of North Coast Clinics Network before starting her own nonprofit consulting business. She and her family had been living on the Oregon Coast for the past few years, a move made for economic reasons. The last time I saw Heather, over spring break in the produce aisle of the Trinidad Murphy’s Market, she enthusiastically announced that her family would be returning home before the next school year. She and her husband, John, and daughters, Greta and Elia, were looking forward to moving back into the home he had built in Westhaven. The Open Door and North Coast Clinics Network have started a memorial scholarship fund for her daughters’ future education.

DISTRICT Racing for the top county seat in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd districts Story and photos by Zach St. George

FIND YOUR DISTRICT AT CO.HUMBOLDT.CA.US/BOARD

ounty Supervisor Jimmy Smith held up a legal pad he uses to remember which phone calls he made on which day. “Today we’ve got …” Smith paused and flipped the pad back around to read it. “Department of Conservation … someone worried about illegal parking on their street … a St. Joseph Hospital official … a guy who wants to repair drainage near his house … Occupiers … people concerned with Occupiers … someone who lives next to a commercial building with bright lights … .” He nodded, so on, and pointed to a 15-inch row of manila folders on the corner of his desk. “Over here are the hot files, the things I’m working on,” he said.

As the 1st District supervisor, Smith is one of the most powerful people in Humboldt County. He and the four other elected representatives from the county’s five districts are the top bosses of county government. The Board of Supervisors writes county laws dictating, for example, how many chickens can be kept per acre and how tall fences can be. It appoints county officials and sets policies for county departments, like Health and Human Services, Community Development and the Sheriff’s Office. On one recent day the board voted on whether to approve repairs to a rural county road, whether to proclaim May “Bike Month in Humboldt,” and whether to present a certificate of achievement

to a recently crowned Eagle Scout, plus a dozen or so other matters, both weighty and mundane. The board also sets employees’ salaries and writes the county’s annual budget. Above all, Smith and his peers represent their respective constituents. If someone in their district has a problem, they try to solve it. Most new supervisors have some experience in government, either on city councils or boards, but the learning curve is still steep. “It’s amazing the amount of subjects you have to be knowledgeable about,” Smith said. It’s a full-time job, and they’re paid for their efforts — roughly $80,000 plus benefits (“Super Pay,” May 3). Smith said that, in his experience, people are attracted to the position out

of a genuine desire to serve their community and make things better. “Most people say, ‘How can we make transportation better? How can we do better with roads? How can we do better with sustainable development?’ They want to come in and learn as much as they can.” This year, seven candidates are vying for three seats up for grabs in the June 5 election: Jimmy Smith is stepping down, leaving a three-way race in the 1st District between retired English teacher Annette de Modena, retired HSU educator and former Wiyot Tribal Chairwoman Cheryl Seidner, and compost-businessman and youth sports organizer Rex Bohn.

Supervisor races tend to

focus on what candidates think about land use. Authority over zoning is one of the key powers given to county governments, and since county supervisor is technically a nonpartisan position, it’s more informative to classify candidates within the spectrum of property rights — pro-development versus pro-conservation, rather than liberal versus conservative. The pro-development camp wants a hands-off approach to government. People should be able to do what they want with their land, they say. It’s a matter of freedom. Conversely, the pro-conservation camp believes that unrestricted growth is a sure way to turn Humboldt into Santa “sprawl” Rosa. They think that development should happen where there is already infrastructure to support it. In areas like Ferndale, many who normally vote Republican want to protect their town’s quaint charm by limiting willy-nilly development. Meanwhile, many Democrator Green-voting backwoodsers in Southern Humboldt don’t want the county telling them what they can or can’t do on their property. It’s a label-crushing situation. “Those lines get blurred,” said Ryan Emenaker, a political science professor at the College of the Redwoods. In the 1920s, he explained, California voters tried to weaken the overbearing political parties. One way they did that, he said, is by

Sat., May 12th from 10-4 making many local positions nonpartisan. Voters won’t see (D) or (R) on the supervisor section of the ballot. Still, the race isn’t exactly nonpartisan, Emenaker said. Party central committees generally endorse one candidate or another. At the same time, supervisors aren’t beholden to the national parties in the same way as partisan politicians, because they face different issues. Back in 2008, during the last election cycle for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Districts, the Journal predicted that the new board would be the one to finish the General Plan update. The plan is essentially the county blueprint. Its zoning guidelines dictate the rules for development and resource management within the county, among other things. It was last updated in 1984. The process has taken more than a decade, though the update is now in its final stages and is scheduled to go before the supervisors in June. Smith said, however, that there’s no guarantee that the updated plan will be finalized by the time the new board is seated in January. A number of things could delay it — disagreements might lead to lawsuits, or there could be political foot-dragging to delay the vote for a different board.

is that people are always coming up to him. During a 45-minute interview, Bohn cheerfully greeted no fewer than six fellow coffee-shop patrons and waved out the window at a dozen or more passing trucks. “Oh that’s” so-and-so, he would say, grinning. “So anyway … .” Though he’s registered Independent (a recent Republican convert), Bohn is widely viewed as a friend to big business, and he recently got enthusiastic cheers at the Republican of the Year dinner in Eureka. He protested that label, however. “I think it’s easy to brand someone as big development, as this and as that, but I think you better know the person and know what they’re gonna bring to the table,” he said. Bohn’s views on land use largely echo those of the property rights and prodevelopment proponents — he believes people should be able to build as they see fit on their land, with some safety, environmental, and building stipulations. At the same time, he said, as an avid outdoorsman he doesn’t want development at the detriment of the environment. The key is balance, he said. “There are so many people worried that there will be no restrictions, and there are so many people worried that their rights will be taken away,” he said. “We’re gonna have to find a happy medium.” Like many of the supervisorial candidates, Bohn said that he’ll bring more jobs to the county. This is a somewhat dubious claim for any candidate to make since supervisors can only create county government jobs. But Bohn said there’s plenty that supervisors can do to make the county attractive to outside businesses — by improving roads and docks, by streamlining permitting processes, and by active promotion. “We gotta let people know that we’re open for business,” he said. Bohn sees running for supervisor as the natural next step in a life of service. “My father always said, ‘If you want a great community, get involved,’” he said. A county resident for most of his life, Bohn has volunteered for years in youth sports programs and the local Special Olympics, and is a frequent auctioneer at charity auctions. He’s the only 1st District candidate still in the workforce — as a raw material scout for local soil company FoxFarm. Bohn works full-time, campaigning when he can. Previously he worked for the now-

REX BOHN

defunct Evergreen Pulp Mill on the Samoa peninsula, and before that for Renner Petroleum. He said that his years of interacting with the local government as a businessman have given him a thorough understanding of county mechanics. If he does need help, Bohn has plenty of well-positioned friends to give him a hand. He’s racked up a lengthy list of endorsers, including dozens of past and present county politicians and business leaders, not to mention hundreds of private citizens. His baseballesque campaign signs blanket Eureka, and his coffers overflow with more than $140,000 in donations. (All campaign figures are through late March.) A large number of his major donors are involved in industry and development, such as Hilfiker Pipe Co., C & K Johnson Industries, Barnum Timber, L & H Lumber Co., and George Schmidbauer of Schmidbauer Lumber. Many of his biggest donors have also made considerable donations to the campaigns of Estelle Fennell and Karen Brooks in the 2nd and 3rd Districts respectively, both of whom are vocal property rights advocates and pro-development. Bohn said it’s not the dollar amounts but the number of people donating that’s important. “I’ve had 850 people donate to my campaign,” he said. “I believe almost all of them are local. There’s probably been close to 500 [donations] under $100.” A lady came up to him the other day at Murphy’s Market, he said. She was on limited income, but she wanted to be part of the campaign, so she gave him a dollar. “That dollar probably means more to me than any other donation.”

on running for supervisor, but Patty Berg persuaded her. Berg, a Democrat and former state Assembly member, said that she didn’t want to have to choose between Bohn and de Modena. She didn’t feel like running herself. Instead, she thought of Seidner. Seidner is a registered Democrat, and she announced her candidacy at the local Democratic Headquarters (because it was raining at the Sequoia Park Zoo, she said). As with Berg, many Seidner supporters view her as a welcome alternative to what they see as two pro-development Republican types. Berg said that she asked Seidner to run not only because of her politics but also for her personality. “Cheryl puts people first,” Berg said. “When she thinks that things aren’t right, she’ll stand up and say so.” Seidner is the most politically experienced of the 1st District candidates. She spent 12 years as the tribal chair of the Wiyot tribe. The experience helped her develop her management style, which she said is based on talking with experts, listening to opponents, and delegating tasks to the most capable hands. One of Seidner’s most notable accomplishments during her time as chair was negotiating the 2004 return of 40 acres of Indian Island to the Wiyot tribe, to whom the island is sacred. Seidner, seated behind a table at the Ramone’s in Old Town Eureka, smiled constantly and sprinkled her speech with metaphors. Community, she explained, is like weaving a basket. “You take strong hazel sticks to make the frame. That’s the

people of the community,” she said, while weaving an air-basket to demonstrate. “Then you take willow roots and weave it so tight it holds water. Then on the outside you create a beautiful design. That’s the people together.” She grew up fishing on the local rivers, and she said that one of her biggest priorities is having healthy waterways. The county’s rivers and Humboldt Bay are also a source of employment, she said, for managers, fishers and oyster farmers. She said that regulation isn’t always a bad thing — it’s one of the big reasons why Humboldt Bay is as clean and healthy as it is. She doesn’t, however, describe herself as an environmentalist, and she says her views on land use are moderate. She supports people’s right to build on their property, provided environmental and safety requirements are met, and the same goes for new development. “I want to protect our environment,” Seidner said, “But I also want to protect our people and I want to see them be prosperous.” Seidner’s late entry drastically changed the dynamic of the 1st District race. Her candidacy complicated what many considered a clear path to victory for Bohn, and made a runoff election much more likely. This late entry could also be her biggest hurdle, since it means less time for fundraising and face-to-face contact with would-be constituents. She’s running what she called a “shoestring campaign,” but she’s optimistic. She said that after Berg asked her to run she took a week to think about it. “I asked the Creator, ‘Are there any obstacles in my way?’” she said, gazing

out the window, suddenly serious. “And there do not appear to be any.”

Third up is Annette de Modena.

The former English teacher schooled local kids on their nouns and verbs for almost 25 years before retiring in 2010. “Service has always been key to my life’s work,” de Modena said, seated in her campaign headquarters on H and Henderson in Eureka. She’s energetic and smells of flowery perfume. It is easy to picture her in front of a classroom. De Modena is a registered Republican who describes herself as a moderate, but her politics aren’t what’s important in the race, she said, sounding frustrated — instead people should remember her long experience as a teacher and involved citizen, and her unflagging work ethic. De Modena has spent the last couple of years preparing for the role, she said, by attending Board of Supervisors meetings and by making fact-finding expeditions around the district, like a recent trip to Petrolia to chat with ranchers concerned

about a proposed wind farm. Perhaps most valuable of all, she said, was her work with Prosperity! 2012, the county’s economic development strategist. She served on a harbor revitalization committee, a vocational training committee and helped with a railroad feasibility study. She favors a live-and-let-live approach to land use, and she doesn’t want to see any more rules and regulations on the General Plan update. So-called “smartgrowth,” she said, equates to sequestering people in cities while halting development in rural areas. She thinks harsh zoning laws lower property values and, in turn, property taxes. Instead, she said, the county should support growth in its rural areas, albeit with some careful planning. “I’m a growth person,” de Modena said, “But I’m for planned growth that considers community, considers ecology, making sure it fits.” De Modena faces long odds. With Smith retiring there are three candidates in the 1st District race, and in order to win outright in the primary one candidate

must get more than 50 percent of the vote, making a November runoff likely. She is deeply in debt, having loaned herself more than $22,000 and raised less than $4,000. De Modena isn’t ready to concede. “I’m an underdog in name only, in terms of finances that I do not have,” she said. “But when it comes to spirit, when it comes to focus, when it comes to vision [and] voice, I am not an underdog.”

2nd District The 2nd District is the toughest to categorize with simple political labels, and it is here that the General Plan update is most contentious. The race is a rematch. Clif Clendenen and Estelle Fennell last met at the ballot box in 2008, when they ran against a write-in campaign from Johanna Rodoni, who’d been appointed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to finish the term of her late husband,

Clif Clendenen

Roger Rodoni, who died in a traffic accident in April 2008. Clendenen is now the incumbent, Fennell the challenger. In 2008 Clendenen was generally viewed as the conservative candidate, and Fennell was generally seen as more liberal. The last four years have altered those impressions. Clendenen often votes on the pro-conservation side of things, while

Estelle Fennell outside her headquarters in Fortuna.

Fennell left her gig as KMUD news director to become executive director of the Humboldt Coalition for Property Rights (HumCPR), a corporation dedicated to protecting rural property rights. In southern Humboldt, the line between liberal and libertarian is hard to discern, and the same holds true between

conservative and conservationist. Fennell is at her downtown Fortuna headquarters, sitting on an old couch and explaining in her light Irish accent why the 2nd needs new leadership. Southern Humboldt, she says, has long had the Horton Hears a Who problem — nobody in the population-heavy north listens to the SoHummers. The 2nd District supervisor’s job is to make sure the district gets its slice, and she says Clendenen hasn’t been making that happen. For example, she said, Clendenen recently voted in favor of a $16 million Caltrans project on the safety corridor between Eureka and Arcata, a move that she said will tie up funding that could have improved the ratty roads in the 2nd District. “The vast majority [of his constituents] disagreed with that vote,” she said. “Lots of roads in the 2nd need improvement.” Fennell spent nearly three years as the executive director of HumCPR. She opposes enacting heavy restrictions on

what people can do with their land, and she’s skeptical of the General Plan update. Whole sections of the plan are unfinished and unusable, she said. “I know from just looking at the process that it’s not gonna be over even after they sign off on it,” she said. The worst part, she said, is that county residents haven’t been given the right kinds of opportunities to chime in on the update. The board’s efforts to be inclusive were largely superficial and inconvenient for rural residents, she said. She said her time as a reporter and her stint at HumCPR uniquely prepared her for the technical aspects of being district supervisor. Indeed, she spoke quickly and easily about the General Plan’s minute details and the history of the plan update. It’s complicated business, particularly in rural areas. Martha Spencer, a supervising county planner, said that tax collectors, the county, and the federal government all divide the land differently. For example, a landowner might get two different tax forms and think she has two separate continued on next page

parcels when in reality her land simply falls into two different school districts. Adding to the mess are the old patent parcels that the federal government gave out back in the 1800s. Over the years, people bought and sold many of those large parcels, merging or dividing them. Record-keeping was often sloppy. Now, when people try to sell or buy property, they frequently have to deal with maps and laws that are 50, 75, 100 years old. Instead of making things easier and giving people the benefit of the doubt, Fennell said that the General Plan update as proposed will make things harder for already-struggling landowners. Fennell said that if voters aren’t won over by her politics alone, they ought to pay attention to her style. She’s forceful, she said, implying that Clendenen is a pushover. “We need strong and effective leadership. Part of that is personality — someone who is willing to take a stand.” Clendenen, however, looks back on his term as four years well spent. When we talked to him he’d spent the day battling to keep Grizzly Creek State Park open. It has been slated for closure, but Clendenen is negotiating for the county to take responsibility for the park while the state gets its finances in order. The park is in the 2nd District, but Clendenen said a lot of the work he does is for the benefit of the whole county. Supervisors take the lead on problems specific to their own districts, he said. “We’re also at the same time working with the whole board for the greater good of the county.” The Arcata-Eureka safety corridor vote was an example of that, he said. Head of a Fortuna family of apple growers, Clendenen is soft-spoken and has a farmerish, aww-shucksy vibe, but he sounded offended when asked about the corridor vote, saying it’s “just completely wrong” to say it wasn’t in the interest of his constituents. Because of how the funding from the state works, he explained, in order to get money for other road-improvement projects in the county the board had to let Caltrans have a project of its choosing. Besides, most people in the county travel on the safety corridor at least a couple times a year, he said. “It’s not a bad county project.” Clendenen is on the pro-conservation side of things, though he said he favors a tempered approach that doesn’t preclude

rural development altogether. “In addition to supporting development where it’s appropriate, I’m absolutely going to keep an eye on our environmental component,” he said. “There needs to be a balance.” Over the last 30 or 40 years, he said, a lot of ranch parcels have been divided. The subdivisions created a vibrant rural community but also put strain on water sources by concentrating housing. “You need water for your parcel, the people downstream need water, and meanwhile we’ve got a wonderful nascent recovering salmon run,” Clendenen said. Again, a balancing act. The General Plan update will address water scarcity issues in the area and address zoning issues in a way that benefits the most people, Clendenen said. He’s upset that Fennell and others are calling the update unworkable so late in the process. “We have folks that want to cry out for better public process at the end of the General Plan update, when they’ve had years to contribute,” he said. “I think that’s just flat-out wrong. There have been hundreds of meetings.” The fundraising race in the 2nd District so far is more evenly matched than in the 1st. Clendenen has raised more than $51,000 in contributions while Fennell has raised nearly $60,000.

3rd District The 3rd District race is the

most clear-cut. Incumbent Mark Lovelace favors concentrating growth around cities and areas with existing infrastructure while challenger Karen Brooks is all about property rights. The district includes Humboldt State University and generally leans liberal. Some characterize Brooks as a psychedelic Republican. She used to be the spokesperson for the local Tea Party, and when we spoke with her she was wearing a purple and green pin with white cartoon flowers that read, “Pick Karen Brooks Supervisor.” But Brooks said she’s neither Republican (though she used to be) nor psychedelic. Speaking with the Journal at a Bayside coffee spot, Brooks couldn’t have been further from the stereotypical, tricornhatted Tea Partier. Articulate and polite, she laughed off the label. “I really carry a

little bit of all parties,” she said. “I want to represent every voice, all people.” A self-employed small business adviser, Brooks helps companies expand and trains new managers. Locally, she said, the biggest threat facing small businesses isn’t from competition but from overbearing government. “Owning a business is really a wonderful experience. It’s a dream of most people.” But, she added, it’s hard for people to navigate government permitting and legal requirements. That’s where the supervisors could do more, she said. “There needs to be more of an ombudsman philosophy.” She calls herself a defender of personal property rights. If someone wants to build a mother-in-law unit on his property, he should be allowed to, but large open spaces should be used to grow food, Brooks said. She wants to incentivize farming so that agricultural lands aren’t converted to residential as aging farmers retire without replacements. It’s true, she admitted, that some people do want to develop on open spaces, and stopping them wouldn’t exactly support their personal property rights. People who worry that rampant development will turn Humboldt into Santa Rosa aren’t being realistic, she said, since nobody in the county, pro-development or not, wants that to happen. On the other hand, she said, people like Lovelace want to see district residents living in dense, noisy, self-contained mini-cities, with no room to spread out.

Brooks said she has the personality for the job — something her opponent lacks. “I was really open to Mark,” Brooks said. “He seemed open, affable, ‘Let’s work together,’ but he’s not.” Instead, she said, Lovelace turned out to be “an agent, a tool of the state and federal government.” For example, she said that when PG&E installed Smart Meters he didn’t do anything about it, even though people in the district didn’t want them. That’s the kind of stand she’s willing to take. “I am an agent for the people and the communities they live in.”

Hours later,

Mark Lovelace arrived at the same coffee shop, looking harried. He’d spent all day in talks with various county agencies over the American Airlines deal, which he had taken the lead on. The deal has since fallen through, though Lovelace said that options for future service remain open. A manufacturing consultant in his private life, Lovelace first became interested in county zoning issues 10 years ago when the Sierra Pacific Industries wanted to log the forest behind Sunny Brae. It was zoned for timber production, but the people in adjacent neighborhoods didn’t want the associated noise, traffic and erosion. Lovelace helped organize a community effort to push Sierra Pacific for concessions, like limiting hours of operation and using smaller trucks to haul logs through residential areas.

company offered to sell the land to the City of Arcata, and the Arcata Ridge Trail was born. The real problem, Lovelace realized, was one of zoning. “We built ourselves into that conflict,” he said. The houses were too close to the logging company’s land. “With encroachment of development in and around our timberland, the ability to manage those lands effectively becomes more difficult.” He got involved in the General Plan update in the hopes that he could help prevent similar conflicts. Running for supervisor in 2008 seemed like the natural next step. “I tried to not just make noise about the problem but be part of the solution,” Lovelace said. He doesn’t like to use words like “smart-growth” or “in-fill” to describe centering development around existing urban centers. “What we’re talking about is not something new but something very old,” he said — modern words describing the traditional downtown. And he refuted Brooks’ claims about packing people into cities. “It’s a ridiculous fear tactic, the idea that anyone is going to be forced to live a lifestyle not of their choosing,” Lovelace said. Like Clendenen, Lovelace is upset by resistance to moving forward on the General Plan update. “There are few issues that are a better bellwether of our differences in values and ideologies than land use,” Lovelace said. Accordingly, not everyone is going to agree. He

called the 11-year process, “incredibly inclusive” and said that the board has heard from more than 1,000 people during hundreds of meetings. Professor Emenaker said that as the challenger, Brooks probably faces an uphill battle. “If you look at registration numbers it’s overwhelmingly a Democratic district,” he said. Additionally, Lovelace has name recognition. Still, that doesn’t mean the race is over. “She’s raised a lot of money, which shows she has a lot of support behind her,” he said. “If she’s spending that money well you could see a fairly serious effect.” Lovelace has raised just less than $11,000. Brooks has raised almost $40,000. Her list of major donors includes many of the same names as the Bohn and Fennell lists, including C & K Industries, Barnum Timber Co., Hilfiker Pipe Co., Rob McBeth of O&M Industries, Lee Ulansey and George Schmidbauer.

The truth, said Supervisor Smith,

is that once the board is seated, politics don’t come into it very often, because nothing gets done without collaboration. “All the board members are smart and work hard,” he said, leaning back in his chair. “You don’t do anything by yourself.” Just then, 4th District supervisor Virginia Bass poked her head in, phone at her ear, and said to Smith, “I need you!” before disappearing back down the hall. Smith raised his eyebrows and smiled, like, You see? l

The drunken botanist

Saké One cedar-lined sauna photo by Amy Stewart

Drinking Oryza Sativa By Amy Stewart

amystewart@northcoastjournal.com

ext time you’re in Portland, go west along U.S. Route 26 and head over to Forest Grove to check out the Saké One brewery. It’s not the kind of brewery you think of when you think of the Pacific Northwest, but there’s really every reason for saké to be a West Coast thing. Japanese culture has deep roots here, there’s the whole Pacific Rim culinary tradition, and the rice itself is grown here. Saké One prefers Calrose, a strain of rice from central California. There’s a tasting room at Saké One, but before you get too far into that, you’ll want to take a tour of the kura (the brewery). Plan to be there by 1, 2 or 3 p.m. to get in on that — I guarantee you that unless you’re already really into saké, everything about this tour will be a total surprise. For instance, did you know that saké is significantly better than it was 100 years ago, thanks to improvements in milling technology? Think about it: A mill used to be hand-cranked, or turned by water or horses or some other method that could be depleted or exhausted. But Saké One’s milling machines can polish rice for four straight days and nights, never tiring, never running out of fuel, until the outer bran is gone and all that is left is a pure smooth kernel of starch. And that’s the goal with saké: the removal of as much of the outer surface of the rice as possible. The goal is to get at that starch, without any proteins, oils or other nutrients getting in the way. In fact, this is how saké is graded: the highest quality, called Daiginjo, has been so vigorously milled that less than half the grain remains. After the rice has finished its high-tech

exfoliating, you’ll follow it through a series of steps that really are very ancient and mysterious. The process of actually making saké is so strange that you’ll wonder how it could have been invented at all. Surely no one person could just dream up the idea. It can only be the result of centuries of trial and error. Here’s what makes saké so different from almost any other alcoholic beverage you might ever drink: In order to bust the kernel of starch apart and break it down into fermentable sugar, a domesticated species of mold called koji is introduced to warm, damp rice. This happens in a warm, dry, cedar-lined room, very much like a Japanese sauna, where the climate is precisely controlled to force the mold to burrow into the rice and do its work. Later yeast comes into play as well (the process is a bit intricate, so I’ll gloss over some details here), and the rice undergoes an extraordinary transformation in which koji mold is breaking the starch into sugar while yeast is simultaneously gobbling up the sugar and turning it into alcohol. So. Go to the brewery to get a handle on exactly how this works. It is a delightfully complex, precise, but also somewhat magical process, and the results are well worth drinking. I invited some friends over to help me drink a case I bought at Saké One, and I had to lure them there with promises that saké was not the warm, miserable drink they remember from some Japanese restaurant their aunt took them to one time in Kansas City. If you have dim memories of terrible saké, I would urge you to revisit it. Drink the good stuff, drink it cold, and try a few different styles until you hit one you like.

As I worked my way through a flight in Saké One’s tasting room, I was surprised by the flavors of banana, pear and tropical fruit created simply by the reactions in the fermentation tank between rice, mold and yeast. They make a line of flavored sakes as well (called Moonstone, sold in blue bottles at grocery stores around town), and I have to confess that I loved the coconut lemongrass version. People say it tastes like suntan lotion in a bottle, and it does — in a good way. I was most surprised to find out how much I liked shochu, the higher-proof spirit made through a similar process and bottled at about 25 percent alcohol, making it stronger than wine but lighter than vodka or whiskey. In many states, quirks in liquor laws allow shochu (or the Korean version soju) to be sold in restaurants that only have a beer and wine license. This has led to its use as a mixer in Cosmopolitans or Asian-inspired ginger-lemongrasssomething-or-other cocktails. That’s a mistake, in my opinion: good shochu is crisp and light and wonderful with nothing but a few ice cubes, but it doesn’t necessarily mix well. Even a lemon twist can throw it off. So if you’ve been unimpressed by shochu in the past (or with saké-based cocktails, which are also difficult to pull off), I’d like to suggest that the reason is that both shochu and saké are carefully made, precisely balanced and not really designed to be mixed with Ocean Spray juice and artificially flavored cocktail syrups. Get the good stuff and try it again, on its own, and see if you aren’t persuaded to put rice-based drinks in rotation this summer. l northcoastjournal.com • North Coast Journal • Thursday, May 10, 2012

Patti Smith photo by Edward Mapplethorpe

The Power Patti Smith, plus The Black & White Ball, Carrie Rodriguez, fake Beach Boys and pilfered keys By Bob Doran

bobdoran@northcoastjournal.com

n email from a New York PR firm showed up in my mailbox recently with a download link for a benefit collection titled Occupy This Album. Amid the 100 tracks donated by musicians well known and unknown, one stood out, perhaps the ultimate Occupy anthem: “People Have the Power,” by Patti Smith. The live recording of her song from the ’80s had a new preamble. “All over the world, the people are rising up. We occupy — with manifestations. We take the streets. We vote. We strike. We, the people, exist,” she announced before plunging into mystic lyrics slightly reminiscent of William Blake: “I was dreaming in my dreaming, of an aspect bright and fair, and my sleeping it was broken, but my dream it lingered near, in the form of shining valleys, where the pure air recognized. And my senses newly opened, I awakened to the cry, that the people have the power to redeem the work of fools. … It’s decreed: The people rule. People have the power! People have the power,” and so on. Smith’s own power is in full effect. She was

inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame a few years ago, and in 2010 won what I’m guessing she may see as an even higher honor, the National Book Award, for Just Kids, her brilliant remembrance of her friend Robert Mapplethorpe and life in NYC. Discussing her book with Jeffrey Brown on PBS’ Nightline, she spoke of the power of rock. “I began as a poet, but rock ‘n’ roll was really the canopy of our cultural voice, especially in the late ’60s and early ’70s,” she said. “Our rock stars, the people who were building that voice, whether it was John Lennon or Neil Young or Bob Dylan, whoever it was, they were infusing politics and political ideology, social justice, sexual energy and poetics, all within that canopy of rock ‘n’ roll. And striving to make this a universal language — it was a real mission — and I wanted to add to that.” And she did. Starting in 1975 with the punk poetics of Horses, she created a powerful body of work. And she’s far from done. A new record, Banga, is due for release in June, with a single, “April Fool,” already out. The album was recorded at Jimi Hendrix’s Electric Lady

Studios in New York City with her band, along with Tom Verlaine from Television and her kids, Jackson and Jesse Paris. It includes a song for those hit by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, one for Amy Winehouse and another for her friend Johnny Depp. Smith will spend the summer touring Europe, but first she has a few warm-up dates in California with her longtime guitarist Lenny Kaye. They bring the power to the Van Duzer Thursday night. Maybe I’ll see you there. Thursday at the Jambalaya the folks from Samba da Alegria are throwing a party/benefit to recoup the cost of bringing some Brazilian teachers to town. It starts with traditional West African-style music by Guinea Gbe, moves on to SambAmore spin-off Operation: Water Dragon with steel pan and horn players, drummers and dancers, then more pans: Steel Standing’s calypso rock amalgam. The show’s mastermind, Jesse Jonathan, points out, “All these groups will be performing at the Humboldt Arts Festival — get a sneak peak and dance the night away.” Also playing Thursday night (at Humboldt Brews) and playing at HumArtsFest: The Trouble and The Fickle Hill Billies. Saturday night at Arcata Theatre Lounge (post-Humboldt Arts Fest) it’s the Third Annual Black & White Ball, an elegant blast of soul/ funk/jazz featuring Welsh guitarist Eddie Roberts with The West Coast Sounds and The Jazz Mafia Horns. If you’re hip to the resurgence of ’60s- and ’70s-era funk ‘n’ soul, you’ve heard about Roberts’ other band, The New Mastersounds, a fine guitar/Hammond organ quartet out of Leeds, England, in the mold of The Meters and the like. Here he’s working with an all-star Cali combo featuring S.F.-based organist Wil Blades (who was just here with Will Bernard). Filling out the ad hoc West Coast Sounds you have more San Fran funk from The Jazz Mafia Horns, a division of the Jazz Mafia family, aka The Shotgun Wedding Quintet, multi-instrumentalists using samplers and looping effects to put a new spin on retrosoul/jazz. Extra added attraction: global fusion dancing by Luna Moon of Fire and Isis Dance Collective. When she’s not fronting her own band, neoAmericana fiddler/singer/songwriter Carrie Rodriguez plays her fiddle, guitar and Mandobird (an electric mandolin) with the likes of Lucinda Williams, Alejandro Escovedo, Bill Frisell and Jeff Bridges among others. Taking a break from work on a new album she’s recording at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, she’s doing a few gigs up and down the coast including a Friday show at the Arcata Playhouse with her pedal steel player Luke Jacobs. The local string duo Blake and Rich opens. This week’s tributes: Naive Melodies plays your favorite Talking Heads dance tunes at the

Jambalaya Friday night; Full Moon Fever does Petty Saturday afternoon at HumArts Fest. Then there’s Saturday’s “Endless Summer: The Beach Boys Story” at the Arkley Center featuring a costumed band called The California Beach Boys, allegedly “the world’s most popular Beach Boys tribute.” Doesn’t it seem odd to see guys dressing up like The Beach Boys when the actual band (the Mike Love version anyway) played the Arkley not that long ago? Looking for one more hit of Humboldt reggae before graduation day? The Mighty Redwood Ambassadors play at Cher-Ae Heights Friday night with special guests Madi Simmons, Empress Kiki and DJ Abba Roots. If the drive to Trinidad seems like too much, there’s a free shuttle departing from Arcata Community Center at 8:30 p.m. (We assume it will also take you home.) For hip hop heads there’s “That One Show” Saturday evening (early) at the Ink Annex, a benefit for the Ink People with Maniac, Thic Man, Logan P, Grim, Cali the Artist, Dub Luv, S.F.B., W.I.L.L. and Morgan Rockey among others. Jazz/rock/funk keyboardist Aber Miller plays a lot. On Friday you can catch him playing solo at the Baywood Golf and Country Club; Saturday he’s with classic rockers Déjà Vu at Cher-Ae Heights, Tuesday he brings a combo he calls Arcata Pizza Council to Six Rivers Brewery, Wednesday it’s a solo gig at Larrupin’, followed by a show next Thursday at Mad River Brewery with a band he calls River Valley Mud. He’s doing all this with a bit of a disadvantage. As he noted in a post on Facebook in late April, “Hey everybody — my car just got stolen. If anyone sees a ’98 black Honda Civic hatchback with a red ‘Undam the Klamath’ sticker, a rainbow sticker next to the license plate and a Nels Cline Singers sticker, please let me know.” What he did not mention is the fact that his music gear was in the car when it was swiped. With that in mind, his friends have organized a benefit, “The Pilfered Keys Jamboree,” Monday night at the Arcata Playhouse with Small Axe, The Luscious Ladies Soul Review (featuring members of AkaBella), and of course one of Aber’s combos, River Valley Mud with Aber on (borrowed) keys, Claire Bent, Ari Davie, Joe Antrim, Sam Kaplan-Good, Louis Gordon and Scott Machen. Looking for something different to do? A few of the Soul Night DJs have taken over the Sunday adult roller skate night at Perigot Park in Blue Lake. King Maxwell, Mantease, Jaymorg and DJ Knutz will be in the house spinning while you wheel around the room. Are you graduating? Congrats and good luck in the “real world.” Remember what Patti Smith said — you have the power. ●

Celebrating Creativity The third annual Humboldt Arts Festival By Jason Marak

hat do you get when you cross 10 gallery/performance spaces, an outdoor sculpture garden, tons of good food and drink, a broad spectrum of activities and more bands than you can shake a drumstick at? If you said a really great time, you’d be right. But where do you have to go to find all this? Well, as it turns out, not very far at all. The third annual Humboldt Arts Festival is right around the corner, and it promises to be an event you don’t want to miss. The Humboldt Arts Festival is the brainchild of the Humboldt Arts Project. The event was co-founded in 2010 by Arts Project founder Victor “Vico” Hernandez, along with brothers Chris and Nick Kieselhorst. “The festival basically showcases the best of what Humboldt County has to offer in the emerging arts, painting, sculpture, music and performance,” said Vico. “Before the festival there wasn’t anything that really focused on delivering this kind of experience for the community.” It is an event that Vico and the arts project

are, with good reason, very excited about. “There are so many great artists and this just gives us the opportunity to all come together on such a great weekend where there’s already so much energy and so much to celebrate. I think the potential is pretty big for this event and the organization to continue,” declared Vico. This year’s festival will be held Saturday and Sunday, May 12 and 13, in Arcata, coinciding with Humboldt State University’s graduation weekend. This scheduling overlap is no accident. The festival founders always intended the event to be part of the graduation celebration. “[Graduation weekend] was a key component — so many of the participating artists are students and many of them are graduating,” said Vico. “[The festival] is their opportunity to be able to share their work, essentially what they’ve worked for over the last four years, with their families who are coming in from all over the country — all over the world. They come over here and see [the student] artwork in gallery spaces, and see their daughters and sons up on the stage at this massive event. The

way that everybody comes together is really pretty magical,” he said. The timing of the Humboldt Arts Festival creates a great opportunity for local non-student participants as well, giving established local artists and vendors exposure beyond the Redwood Curtain. “We’ve basically got a global audience for those two days … people that are coming from all over the world to experience what Humboldt County really has to offer,” said Vico. “It’s beneficial for local businesses, for the local community and the commercial development of the arts here because there’s a lot of great artwork created here but there isn’t that much work being sold here because it’s a smaller economy.” Exposure to that outside audience can mean a great boost for local artists financially and in terms of reputation. In the past, the Humboldt Arts Festival has generated enough revenue to pay for itself. What was raised beyond the cost of the festival went to funding monthly HAP events. This year, organizers have their eye on a more ambitious use for any surplus funds. “Hopefully this year sun-

shine comes up both days and we’re able to raise a little more and be able to take further steps into moving towards creating our independent nonprofit,” said Vico. While becoming an independent nonprofit could be costly and time consuming, Vico feels it is a much-needed move. “Arcata could use an organization that devotes itself to the arts. … Having something like that in Arcata would be beneficial to the artist community,” he said. Currently, the arts project falls under the umbrella of Arcata Main Street. The 2012 Humboldt Arts Festival has something for just about everyone to enjoy.

Your Noise, My Now The power of Bassnectar

DANIEL SUELO FROM THE COVER OF THE MAN WHO QUIT MONEY

In the 1950s a new sound was reshaping American culture. Parents in those days called it loud, repulsive and crude. They assigned racially provocative epithets like “jungle music” to it because of its roots in AfricanAmerican blues, country, jazz and gospel. This, of course, drove a younger generation straight into its welcoming arms. That generation found something in the new music that wasn’t available until then. Rock ‘n’ roll defined an era, an important one in American history. It spoke loudly about what American culture had become, and provided an outlet for the backlash against what some saw as a restrictive way of life. Now it is held in wide regard as one of the most important musical evolutions in history. Today, some say the same things about electronic music. They say it has no soul. People complain that the music rarely has meaningful words, that it lacks the instruments that breathe life into so many songs from the past. But maybe the youth of today want more than words. Maybe they believe that the actions that the music provokes give it truth. In the case of electronic music, that action is being there. Dancing. Connecting to the people around you, not by talking, but by participating. Something rock ‘n’ roll did for a generation that was separated by race. If there is one person who can bring people together in a way that any old rocker would be proud of, it’s Lorin Ashton, the mastermind behind Bassnectar. Ashton says his open source musical project combines sound and force with a weight that engulfs the senses. It is as physical as it is auditory. He calls it an adventure with no rules. And Ashton takes that adventure seriously: “We are so blessed, and so deeply fortunate to be alive and awake right now. It’s a basic truth, but it’s very powerful. I think privilege confers responsibility, and Bassnectar is a reflection of that opportunity; the motion of my cells

LORIN ASHTON IS BASSNECTAR

bouncing back at the world.” His new album VaVa Voom — released on his own Amorphous music label — just hit stores in April. The notorious Bassnectar sound will keeps your cells bouncing with contributions by Lupe Fiasco, Amp Live, Ill.Gates and a special Pennywise tribute. It may also bring you a bit closer to the evolution that continues to take place in music. An evolution that puts feeling ahead of words and connection ahead of division. History will be the judge of electronic music. In 60 years it will have morphed into something entirely different, and who knows what that might be. But that’s tomorrow, a dream, really. Better to live today and experience all that is out there that you can fit your arms around. You never know, you may like it. World Famous Productions presents the Bassnectar VaVa Voom Tour on Thursday, May 10, at Blue Lake Casino with VibeSquaD and Mr. Projectile opening. Doors open at 7 p.m. for the all ages show (18 and under must be accompanied by an adult) in a tent brought in to handle 2,500 bass enthusiasts. Lights, video and gut-rattling bass will combine to blow minds and change the musical landscape.

Poverty Prophet

As if rooting out a bad habit, Daniel Suelo has given up money. Just quit having anything to do with it — or with barter or with organized charity. Instead of earning or spending, Suelo forages, Dumpster dives and makes his home in a cave in Utah. “I would like to encourage people … to be grateful and realize the grace of nature,” Suelo said in a phone interview last weekend. He was bouncing through Idaho in an SUV driven by his biographer, Mark Sundeen, on a four-state book tour that will bring them to Northtown Books in Arcata on Friday night, May 11. Suelo was talking on Sundeen’s phone, ruefully acknowledging the incongruities of a moneyless book tour. “I would love it if everything we got was foraged, but living this way is also about being flexible,” he said. On the first phase of the tour, the pair stayed sometimes with friends and sometimes with strangers. They don’t

know yet where they’ll sleep in Arcata. Their jaunt is both promoting Sundeen’s book, The Man Who Quit Money, and Suelo’s philosophy, a squishy jumble of monetary policy and a spiritual quest to live a more authentic life. Squishy or no, Suelo has, more or less successfully, rejected money for the past 12 years. That resonates with anyone who has ever longed to step off the money-go-round, to walk away from a consumer culture saying, “You know, this really isn’t working for me.” Sundeen’s book makes it clear that Suelo is an engaging and complicated guy, one who got through depression, a suicide attempt and sexual identity issues to forge his own messy compromises with life. If much of Suelo’s message — money can get in the way of living sanely, fully and wholeheartedly — isn’t new, it still bears repeating. Beginning at 7 p.m. on Friday, May 11, Mark Sundeen will read from The Man Who Quit Money, and he and Daniel Suelo will take questions at Northtown Books, 957 H St., Arcata. —Carrie Peyton-Dahlberg continued on next page northcoastjournal.com • NORTH COAST JOURNAL • THURSDAY, MAY 10, 2012

Any good evil tobacco seller knows the way to ensure faithful cigarette consumers is to “hook ‘em young.” Kids, adorable and impressionable, are more susceptible to colorful, deceptive marketing and are less likely to resist temptations scrutinizing adults have learned to ignore. That’s why we at the Journal were alarmed when we discovered that the Humboldt’s Kinetic season has been lengthened to include — get this — a race for kids! Not cool, Queens! In what we’re assuming is an attempt to raise up a next generation of art nerd Olympic torch carriers, the Rutabaga Queens have announced the addition of the Kinetic Classic Kid Powered Art Race to take place on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 13. They’ve put out a call to kids 12½ years and younger to compete in a handful of events taking place on Main Street in Ferndale. If you’re one of those questionable souls who may be interested in being the proud parent of a kinetic kadet, here’s where you may want to direct your kid’s energy (based on their age): • The noon whistle will signal the start of the Rutababy Buggy Bouncer Kickoff Parade for kids 9 months to pre-school aged. Essentially, decorate that stroller (or baby bump) in kinetic fashion and stroll down the road. (Sounds more like a parent parade, but OK.) • Kindergartners through third graders will compete in the Rutabaga Rally. Kids are asked to decorate themselves and their bikes, skateboards, scooters, etc. and run through an obstacle course. • “Big kids” — fourth, fifth and sixth graders — have the opportunity to compete in the soap box racer-ish Junior Kinetic Push Kart Dash. Since Main Street lacks downhill-ness, each team consists of one pilot and one pusher. According to the official rules of the race, vehicles should “look cool.” Speaking of official rules: the rundown of racer requirements for the above events can be found by directing your browsy thingy to kineticclassic.org. But fair warning: Should you subject your children to kinetic kool-aid, you may never get them back. —Andrew Goff

Free Again: The “1970” Sessions By Alex Chilton Omnivore Recordings

When a young Alex Chilton sneaked into the fledging Ardent Studios in Memphis in 1969, conducting after-hours sessions with the studio’s proprietor Terry Manning, he had no inkling that he would lay down a blueprint for his future solo releases. In a prolific explosion as a songwriter, Chilton recorded an eclectic collection of pop songs flavored by his personal loves: country, rockabilly, funk, R&B, blues and garage. This deluxe reissue, Free Again: The “1970” Sessions not only provides the missing bridge of Chilton’s legacy — linking his period from The Box Tops to Big Star — but it also documents the dizzying display of the 18-year-old’s promiscuous knowledge of pop music, exploring musical styles that predate movements of rock and pop that would rise later in the punk and indie eras. The Box Tops were a pop creation, an assemblage similar to The Monkees organized by songwriters Chips Moman and Dan Penn. They recruited top Memphis session players, including legendary Stax horn player Wayne Jackson. Fame had its price: for its lead vocalist, it became a creative straightjacket. Contractually tied to his legal obligation to The Box Tops until 1970, Chilton just couldn’t wait. He and Manning arranged, played and recorded his songs with an ensemble that included Memphis drummer Richard Rosebrough (who became a longtime Chilton collaborator) and Nashville pedal steel session man, Jeff Newman. The title track and his reworking of “The Happy Song” (originally released with The Box Tops) embrace his country influences, including Gram Parsons, and his merging of country, rock and pop. The oddball rockabilly number, “I Wish I Could Meet Elvis,” precedes, ironically, his eventual joining of the off-kilter “psychobilly” outfit Tav Falco & The Panther Burns, and his future production work with The Cramps in the late ’70s/early ’80s. Then there are the gorgeous, melodic pop songs. “The EMI Song” is a clever combination of Beatlesesque psychedelic pop and Carole King-like verses. “Every Day As We Grow Closer” is reflective of his admiration for Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys. The previously unreleased demo “If You Would Marry Me,” is simply haunting, consisting solely of Chilton’s vocal and piano. After his deal with The Beach Boys’ label, Brother Records, fell through in 1970, a train of ironies and bad luck befell his whole musical career. It was not lost on him, often captured in the wry smile he would flash publicly. The final irony would not likely be lost on Chilton either: that arguably his finest and most exuberant solo work, one dominated by his own compositions, may finally attract due attention — several years after the songwriter’s death. I wish I could see his wry smile now. — Mark Shikuma

Superpowered

The Avengers launch blockbuster season with a bang! Pow! Smash! By John J. Bennett filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

THE AVENGERS. Judging by its $200 million opening weekend, I’m not the only one who finds The Avengers deeply satisfying. Looks like just about everybody is on the same page (save New York Times critic A.O. Scott, whose lukewarm review brought down the great vengeance and furious anger of star Sam Jackson over the weekend). This movie is a happy culmination of all the flaccid Marvel retreads that preceded it in the last few years. Where Thor and Captain America in particular fell flat, The Avengers soars; because it’s actually fun. On another level, we can revel in this because it marks the first time vaunted writer/director/fanboy demigod Joss Whedon has been allowed the budget and freedom he deserves. It is a credit to his considerable skills that The Avengers is action packed and sure-footed without forgetting that comic books, and thus movies based on them, are supposed to have a sense of humor. Whedon’s heady cheekiness is a perfect fit here: He’s able to crack wise and create clever visual jokes without going the hipster route and winking at the audience. His script is funny without leaning on cynicism or overbear-

ing irony, and it manages to give the characters life they’ve been sorely lacking in their solo outings. Under Whedon’s direction, Jackson’s Nick Fury possesses a degree of conviction and humanity that we haven’t seen before. Where other directors chose to make Fury a swaggering figurehead, like Shaft with an eye-patch, Whedon gives the man a heart and grows him into a true leader of men (albeit super ones). Even Chris Evans and Jeremy Renner, who practically disappeared into the background before, come to life on the screen with a combination of toughness and sensitivity that makes their prowess all the more impressive. To me, the real star of the show is Mark Ruffalo’s Incredible Hulk. I should admit that I haven’t checked in with the Hulk since the Lou Ferrigno days, so I can’t speak to Ruffalo’s performance relative to Eric Bana’s or Ed Norton’s. That notwithstanding, he steals every scene with his ironic befuddlement and submerged rage. And when he Hulks out, he gets some of the biggest laughs and gasps of the whole movie. (After the laughter from one such moment subsided, someone in the back yelled “Goddamn that was awesome!”

And he was totally right.) It wouldn’t be a Whedon work without a tough-as-nails heroine who is also impossibly sexy and a smartass. Scarlett Johannson fills those stilettoes marvelously as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow. As a spy, it might seem that she’d be out of her league here. But the Avengers are a sort of ragtag assemblage by nature, so her lack of superpowers doesn’t diminish her cred — or her ability to serve as a foil and moral compass for some of her more didactic teammates. It would be unfair to say plot is incidental here, but that may be the movie’s only real shortcoming. Whedon does a great job using it as a canvas for tense dialog and breathtaking battle sequences, but main villain Loki (a powerful being from the realm of Asgard) lacks some menace, and his alien minions are just a featureless mob of vaguely humanoid evildoers and space leviathans. It’s easy to lose track of their simplistic motivations: On more than one occasion I had to refresh my memory as to why everybody was fighting so much. Even if the storyline could be more resonant, it hardly subtracts from the film’s many pleasures. At the end of the day, this is what a comic book movie should be. PS — Stay to the end of the credits. It’s worth it. PG13. 142m. THINK LIKE A MAN. This is the movie that held the top spot at the box office until The Avengers came along and blotted out the sun. And it stayed on top for a full two weeks before it arrived here, if I’m not mistaken. No matter. It’s an adaptation, of sorts, of Steve Harvey’s book Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man. Adapting a self-help book into a narrative film is a strange notion, but I guess Harvey’s license to print money extends to this medium. The adaptation is a little lazy, hewing closely to a typical rom-com formula: Take a group of friends, each of whom represents an archetype, then get them involved with an equally disparate group of (amazingly attractive) women. Throw in Harvey’s book to incite things, and the author himself as a talking head, and you’ve got it. And yes, it is as trite as all that. In spite of the uninspired screenplay, Think Like a Man brings enough talent in the cast, and enough charm in its imagining, to be generally enjoyable. There’s nothing new on offer, but Kevin Hart, Romany Malco, Gabrielle Union and Meagan Good are funny and sexy and entertaining, and the movie’s general positivity carries through. PG13. 122m. —John J. Bennett

Previews

DARK SHADOWS. In their eighth collaboration, Tim Burton directs Johnny Depp as vampire Barnabas Collins (worst vamp name ever?), who’s awoken from his

May 10 May 18

medieval tomb in 1972 (a year after the ABC soap opera that inspired this movie ended its run). PG13. 113m. THE DICTATOR. Opening Wednesday, May 16, for some reason, is the latest from subversive comedy genius Sacha Baron Cohen. This time out, the creator of Borat and Ali G stars as a Middle Eastern dictator. The movie was inspired, I shit you not, by a story written by Saddam Hussein. R. 105m. This Thursday, the Arcata Theatre Lounge will host a benefit for a proposed indoor skate/BMX park — a new project from the Ink People. The benefit will include a silent auction, raffle and a double feature: The Cinematographer Project, a feature-length skate doc, and Bad Idea, a BMX video. Friday night is Billy Madison (1995), Adam Sandler’s first big hit. For Mother’s Day the ATL will screen John Waters’ Serial Mom (1994), a dark comedy starring Kathleen Turner. And next Wednesday, the weekly Sci-Fi Pint and Pizza Night features a pair of (need I say “campy” at this point?) Italian space operas — War of the Robots (1978) and Cosmos: War of the Planets (1977).

THE CABIN IN THE WOODS. When five young friends head into a creepy, remote wilderness you may think you’ve got the story pegged. Think again, sucka. R. 95m. CHIMPANZEE. Hackneyed Disney doc narrated by Tim Allen. G. 78m. THE FIVE-YEAR ENGAGEMENT. An engaging romantic comedy from co-writer and star Jason Segel about the thick and thin that can follow a marriage proposal. R. 124m. THE HUNGER GAMES. In a dystopian future state, teenagers get conscripted into a televised death match. PG. 142m. THE KID WITH A BIKE. Grand Jury Prize-winner at last year’s Cannes Film Festival follows an emotionally troubled 11-year-old boy who strikes up a friendship with a pretty young hairdresser. In French with subtitles. 97m. PG13. THE LUCKY ONE. Based on a Nicholas Sparks novel, this maudlin romance starring Zac Efron isn’t offensively bad, just painfully bland and drawn out. PG13. 101m. THE PIRATES! BAND OF MISFITS. Stop-motion comedy from Aardman Studios is fun but doesn’t quite live up to the magic of Wallace & Gromit. PG. 88m. THE RAVEN.

Early Animal-rights Artist? By Barry Evans

fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com

he hills resound with the roaring [of lions], the wild animals tremble. They pull down the cattle, spill human blood. … Corpses of men, cattle and sheep lie in heaps as if the plague has killed them. — From the records of Ashurbanipal, British Museum translation By the time king Ashurbanipal began his rule in 645 BCE, the neo-Assyrian Empire was on its last legs. Originally a tiny landlocked kingdom in northern Mesopotamia (now Iraq), Assyria expanded to become the greatest empire up to that time. In the space of 300 years starting in 934 BCE, its boundaries grew to encompass modern-day Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and much of Egypt, Turkey and Iran. Apart from the odd reference in the Bible (Calhu, for instance, is Assyrian Nimrud), nothing much was known about neo-Assyria until British archeologist Austen Henry Layard began digging near the Iraqi city of Mosul in 1845, leading to the discovery of the great cities of Nimrud and Nineveh. Ashurbanipal’s North Palace in Nineveh was found and excavated in 1852-54 by Layard’s assistant, Hormuzd Rassam, who followed Layard’s example by having his best discoveries shipped to the British Museum. That’s where you can see what are generally considered to be the finest reliefs, not just of their time, but perhaps of all time: the series comprising the Royal Lion Hunt of Ashurbanipal. The now-extinct Mesopotamian lion — considerably smaller than its African cousin — was once a plague on the human and domestic animal population of Assyria, and a monument from 3000 BCE shows a ruler dutifully protecting his people by killing

lions. By the time of Ashurbanipal (685-627 BCE), however, it seems only royalty were allowed to slay them. Perhaps by then lions were rare, although, as indicated by the quote above, a series of good years with ample rain may have boosted their numbers. The king dispatched them ritually and publicly, similar, I suppose, to today’s stylized bullfights. In one scene, we see lions being released, one by one, from their cage into an arena, so the word “hunt” is somewhat of a misnomer. Many reliefs from that time show the king either shooting arrows at the doomed animals from his chariot or impaling them on his spear. One entire corridor in Ashurbanipal’s Northern Palace, built around 645-635 BCE, was given over to large-scale lionhunt scenes carved in alabaster bas-relief. Unlike many formalized depictions of animal hunting and sacrifice of that time, what gives these representations their vividness is their realism. I can’t imagine any viewer looking at these animals in their agonized death-throes and not being moved to pity. Within 20 years of the death of Ashurbanipal, the Assyrian empire had virtually disappeared, victim of an internal power struggle between at least three contenders. The final blow came at the battle of Carcamesh, when the king Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon defeated the remnants of the Assyrian army and their Egyptian allies. If you’re in London, don’t miss the Royal Lion Hunt reliefs. You’ll re-experience the naturalistic compassion depicted 2,600 years ago by Ashurbanipal’s sensitive sculptor. l Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo. com) heads straight to Room 10 on his annual pilgrimage to the British Museum.
