My Bully Pulpit

F

rom the time the Journal was founded in 1990 up until a few election cycles ago, we endorsed candidates and made recommendations on ballot measures. They were ultimately my endorsements as editor/publisher — and later as publisher when the two positions were split — with substantial input from the reporting staff.

It’s not that I think those of us in the news-gathering business are smarter than our readers. It’s just that we pay close attention and often have better recall than most. We have to, in order to do our job.

Since we have a new editor this election cycle, Carrie Peyton Dahlberg, I brought up the should-we-endorse question at a recent staff meeting. It was met with groans and sighs. Why piss off half our readers when their minds are made up? Nobody pays attention to newspaper endorsements! Isn’t it just a vanity thing for the publisher? (Ouch.)

OK, then. I’m not telling you how to vote. But since this is my column, I will tell you how I would vote if I lived in your district. Then you can tell me why I’m either pretty smart or very wrongheaded in an email or letter to Carrie (letters@northcoastjournal.com) for next week’s paper.

We’ll budget extra room. Please use your real name and provide a daytime contact number. We must be able to contact and speak with you directly before noon on Monday, May 21.

Let’s go from the easiest race to hardest: District 3. When you have an incumbent who is intelligent, honest, hardworking and in tune with the priorities of his district, he deserves to be re-elected.

Mark Lovelace.

The District 2 representative certainly has a less homogenous constituency. After all, there’s city folk and all those back-tothe-landers in the hills. What a mess of a district to represent. Incumbent Clif Clendenen, of the Fortuna apple-growing family fame, came into office as a businessman and pro-conservationist. (Yeah to both.)

He became a moderate voice on the board and currently serves as chair of the North Coast Railroad Authority, among other appointments. That’s all well and good, but if you read the Journal cover story last week, “District Soup,” you will know that this election is all about the General Plan update — which after 13 years, 300-plus meetings and 70-plus public hearings — has moved at a glacial pace to the Board of Supervisors for approval. Clif under-

stands the plan and, more importantly, is on guard against those who are trying to undo these years of process. He, too, deserves another term. His opponent, Estelle Fennell, until recently held a paid position for HumCPR, an advocacy group that spends all its efforts trying to water down the General Plan update. I’m very leery of this kind of lobbyist being elected to the board. Don’t mess this up, District 2.

By the way, if you have forgotten just how important the General Plan update is, spend a little time on-line. The Journal has been reporting on this since our cover story of Sept. 7, 2000, called “What’s the Plan, Humboldt?” If you search site:northcoastjournal.com and “general plan update” you will have 163 Journal entries — 10 Google pages — of reporting and commentary. No, you don’t have to go back 13 years, start with some more recent coverage. How about “Why Do People Hate Kirk Girard?” a cover story Nov. 3, 2011? Or “General Babel,” an editorial written by Ryan Burns, April 14, 2011? I also recommend, “Town Holler,” June 18, 2009, a story that asks and answers the question, “The general plan update: important opportunity or colossal bore?” Or “Deliberate,” July 15, 2010 — one of my personal favorites. (Be careful. If you just search the Journal website and “general plan,” you will get a mind-blowing 4,500-plus entries.)

Some of the commentary pieces were written by former Editor Hank Sims, who now blogs for Lost Coast Communications, in his Town Dandy column for the Journal.

Now let’s talk about District 1. Jimmy Smith is retiring and he leaves behind some big shoes to fill. This new supervisor will need to get up to speed quickly and have the courage, strength, independence and intelligence not to be misled. District 1 is a three-way race and might even go to a run-off. I hope it does because it needs more scrutiny. I sat in to hear the candidates Monday at the Eureka Rotary luncheon at the Wharfinger.

Annette De Modena is a fairly recent arrival in Humboldt County. She said she was excited about the “new” Prosperity 2012 effort but seems unaware of Prosperity’s history: three years of very hard work and preparation before it was adopted by the county in 1999. She wants “harbor revitalization” linked with an east-west railroad line. From the forum I attended, I’ll give her one point: She was the only one who would directly answer the question,

“If not you, who would you vote for?” (She said, although Rex Bohn has “name recognition,” Cheryl Seidner has “a deep, dear, abiding soul” and was a friend of hers. She’d vote for Cheryl.)

This is a two-way race. Bohn, with his ubiquitous round baseball signs even outside the district he is running in, is the equivalent of apple pie. He is an Energizer bunny who says yes to any good cause. I personally have attended perhaps a half dozen fund-raisers where he has served without pay as a very able and entertaining auctioneer. One was for the elementary school, Fieldbrook, down the street from my house here in the rural 5th District.

He gave up a night of his life for my local school. I admire him. I thank him every chance I get for his civic involvement and service.

I am concerned, however. As reported in our Journal blog and in the newspaper, there have already been campaign shenanigans — phony telephone polls that would so obviously benefit Bohn. Who’s running them and why? If I were a candidate, I’d want to know and perhaps put a stop to it. It’s not enough to shrug your shoulders and say, “It’s not me.” Voters want to know where this phantom support is coming from and why. Voters want to know if he will be beholden to people other than those listed on his campaign contribution reports.

Cheryl Seidner, former Wiyot tribal chair and retired administrator for Humboldt State University, is a late entry into this race. She was asked to run by several people concerned about the balance on the board, including Assemblyman Wes Chesbro and former Assemblywoman Patty Berg, among others. She is certainly qualified. If I had one adjective to describe her after hearing her speak, it would be “thoughtful.” It’s kind of refreshing.

You can read the Journal’s coverage of these three races on-line at http://www.northcoastjournal.com/ news/2012/05/10/district-soup/ if you missed last week’s paper.

And for U.S. Congress? It’s a robust field vying to replace Mike Thompson. The top two — Jared Huffman and someone otherthan-Jared who will come in second — will face off in November.

I might bring out my bully pulpit again in the fall for the congressional run-off. l

Unfair to Lovelace Editor: I believe I am qualified to set the record straight regarding an accusation made by Karen Brooks against Mark Lovelace in Zach St. George’s cover story “District Soup” (May 10).

For several years, I have been the point person in Humboldt County educating and organizing around the dangerously unhealthy levels of microwave radiation emitted by PG&E’s Smart Meters. Ms. Brooks claims that “when PG&E installed Smart Meters he [Mark] didn’t do anything about it, even though people in the district didn’t want them.”

In reality, Mark was one of the few local officials who seriously considered this issue and took action on it. He took the time to meet in person with me and others to listen and discuss our concerns. Mark sought out information on the issue and spoke to supervisors in other counties to learn what other communities were doing. Mark spearheaded the drafting of letters expressing customers’ concerns. These letters were later approved by the board and sent to PG&E and the CPUC on behalf of our community.

The Smart Meter issue is not yet completely resolved. However, thanks to Mark and other responsive officials and activists, PG&E

customers can now help protect their health and privacy by opting out of a Smart Meter. Mark Lovelace deserves our thanks and our votes for 3rd District Supervisor for the work he has done on this and many other important issues.

Beverly Filip, Eureka Editor: Last week’s Journal contains an ad (May 10, page 5) by Karen Brooks that is an extreme and exaggerated hit piece against Mark Lovelace. The first thing I noticed was a picture of the Plaza Point affordable senior housing project in Arcata. Karen prominently features this project as a very Cartoon by joel mielke negative example of what she terms “social engineerApparently Karen prefers that the site of Plaza ing,” which Mark would supposedly impose on Point be left as a gravel parking lot rather than all of us if he is re-elected as county supervibe high-quality, solar-powered affordable sor. In addition to being mayor of Arcata, I housing for seniors in easy walking distance of have donated hundreds of unpaid hours of my downtown Arcata with close to zero PG&E bills time as the energy analyst on this fine project.

for residents.

Karen’s target is even stranger because Plaza Point is a Danco project in Arcata, a project in which Mark and Humboldt County have no involvement.

I support Mark for supervisor because he works for policies that offer a wide variety of housing for people of all incomes. Mark supports more compact development, which protects our farms and forests and reduces costs for Humboldt County to provide services.

Before he became supervisor, Mark led the successful effort to both save the Sunny Brae Forest and keep it as a working forest.

I reject the myths and fantasies offered by Karen Brooks and support real, affordable and sustainable choices that Mark Lovelace works for every day.

continued from previous page

Go, Seidner!

Editor: The NCJ provided an essential service to our community in its recent in-depth report on the supervisor’s race. We have a unique and exciting opportunity June 5 to elect a supervisor with proven leadership skills.

Cheryl Seidner was twice voted woman of the year by the state of California; she earned an honorary doctorate in humane sciences, and has served 12 years as chairwoman of the Wiyot Tribe, bringing together a wide range of individuals and agencies to provide her community with fundamental services. Despite her successes as a talented and determined negotiator, her distinguished achievements, credentials, awards, and her lifelong dedication to public service, Cheryl Seidner is one of the most humble and gracious individuals I have known; qualities that Cheryl radiates at public appearances.

I first met Cheryl Seidner at Humboldt State University where, for 28 years, Cheryl counseled tens of thousands of young adults, like me, through the overwhelming financial burdens in obtaining a public university degree without any family support. My university experience was essential in acquiring the skills and confidence needed to create and operate a successful business that provided dozens of local youths with their first employment at a living wage.

Cheryl Seidner understands that the economic prosperity of every class of citizen in every community ultimately depends upon the prosperity of all its residents, especially our most vulnerable and capable youths, eager to begin building self-reliant, sustainable communities.

Unfortunately, half the eligible voters aged 18-25 are unregistered (2010, U.S. Census), while half of the registered voters of all ages typically abstain from voting. Many are discouraged after three decades of unprecedented divestment in the American people by the largest U.S. corporations, financial institutions and by our own government. The result is America’s New Gilded Age and the growing human toll within every meaningful indicator of the economy, environment and society that continues to collapse.

Humboldt County‘s “other majority” has until May 25 to register to vote and ensure that individuals like Cheryl Seidner are leading Humboldt County government to represent all the people.

Cheryl Seidner is that caliber of person.

George Clark, Eureka Editor: Being a resident of the newly reconstituted 1st District, I read your May 10 cover story, entertainingly titled “District Soup,” with considerable interest.

I met Rex Bohn when I chaired the Humboldt County Democratic Central Committee, and I like him just fine for his work with youth sports and as a public auctioneer. These are quick, fast-paced activities that match his skills. I am even OK with him strutting down the fashion runway in high-heeled drag, although, honestly, I wouldn’t do that myself.

But when I consider that he seeks to represent our interests in the most intense, intellectually demanding job at the highest level of county government as 1st District Supervisor, I have to say “Sorry, Rex, but you can’t touch the skills and qualifications Cheryl Seidner has for this position.”

Cheryl has held numerous leadership positions in the political world, including serving 12 years as the Wiyot Tribal Chair, work that has taught her invaluable skills in achieving solutions to problems while considering, as she herself puts it, “people first.” She is a published historian, adding depth to her governing knowledge and skills, and she worked for 28 years at Humboldt State University in the Educational Opportunity Program, helping students succeed in school. Small wonder the California State University System awarded her an honorary doctoral degree. In the university’s words, she “is a visionary, a leader, and a community builder” who received her doctorate “in recognition of her life of extraordinary service.”

Please join me in voting for the person who is best qualified and most capable of representing the interests of all of us in the 1st District, Cheryl Seidner.

Go, Solomon!

Editor: As Judy Hodgson noted in her Blog Jammin’ item (May 10), “the race (for the new 2nd Congressional District seat) is heating up with just 30 days to election time.” Since time is truly short, I would like to encourage everyone to support Norman Solomon in this race. There is a Democrat in the White House, but sometimes you wouldn’t know it.

Instead of wholly supporting the 99 percent, we have an administration that often displays a more Republican-like behavior. It maintains the defense budget at lofty levels and allows the Bush tax cuts for upper-income earners to continue on. The resulting reduced and misallocated revenues put a substantial squeeze on programs that would benefit the majority of Americans, such as funding for needed infrastructure which would promote job creation, education which would underpin America’s future, and health-care reform which could help free us from being pawns of the medical

It shows that as much as we think we’re in this hippie dippy community that has enlightened ways of thinking, where men and women are equal, in actuality we’re not. The ad’s message is that women are objects, or “dirty girls” that need to be cleaned up from top to bottom. This is not always the best way to reach the male demographic, either, because some men may find this narrow, old-school view offensive.

Women who see this ad might not shop at a place that demeans women by depicting them as “dirty girls.” This ad is gross. I certainly won’t shop at Bayside Garden Supply, and I will tell all my friends the same. Please pull this ad.

Dig Deeper on Parks Editor: The feature article coverage of the state parks closure issue (“A Place in the Woods,” May 10) was appreciated. The time is certainly ripe for elected officials, Gov. Brown, and big money funding sources to pull a rabbit out of the hat to avoid these disastrous closures. We hope that your weekly continues to dig into this topic, because there are many relevant facts that your reading public would appreciate having brought to light.

The history of Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park, as recounted in the article, missed an important element for understanding the dark politics of state park closures. The feature article failed to explore how the $500 million dollar Headwaters deal included upwards of $30 million for purchase of PALCO lands adjacent to Grizzly Creek in order to expand the park from its tiny 360 acres to a total of approximately 3,500 acres. Apparently, this major lands acquisition initiative has now been relegated to permanent limbo, with the purchased lands in state possession, but no hint whatsoever as to their conservation destiny.

Certainly, the issues of timber theft, vandalism, inappropriate off-road vehicle use, and other conservation threats apply to those lands as much as they do to the globally important park. It is tremendous that Humboldt County may be able to steward Grizzly Creek past this closure challenge. Nevertheless, as executive director of the Environmental Protection Information Center, I certainly hope that the promise and investment of the Headwaters deal is not ignored, and that the North Coast Journal will dig under the surface on these critical issues.

Gary Graham Hughes, Arcata

Free Flowing Editor: I am a big fan of “Field Notes” by Barry Evans. In fact, as a retired person, I consider his column a part of my continuing education.

His recent column (“Six Rivers (By Any Other Name),” May 3) reminded me that Six Rivers Bank used to (maybe still does) give out these beautiful calendars with photographs of each of the six rivers. I carried one around for years until it finally went where old calendars go. We are lucky, we who live in this temperate rain forest, where some of our rivers are dam free and where most of our citizens are damn free.

Barbara Dilworth, Eureka

Dem Dilemma Editor: Thanks for Ryan Burns’ reporting on the “The Dem Schism Gets Real,” (Blog Jammin, May 17).

The motives being alleged against Virginia and others are projection. These hit and run tactics by certain local disgruntled members of the Humboldt County Democratic Central Committee are par for the course. These self-appointed Democrats by their own flawed litmus test are the only true Democrats. They ambushed and tried to pass a resolution that some of their own members had no prior knowledge of, and questions about procedures were legitimate. Some writers timed letters deliberately so they conveniently appeared in local media a day after their attack was unveiled at the May 9 HCDCC meeting. Considering that this resolution and these letters are by opponents running for HDCC seats against Virginia, Marian and others, their intent is not selfless.

I consider myself independent and I chose not to pick one party because I want to make my choices based on the individual, the best person for the job. This allows me to support candidates such as Susan Adams for U.S. Congress. The rigid two party system has long failed to serve the people.

To call someone “DINO” and other derogatory comments only shows the character of the person hurling such insults.

I have only attended a few HCDCC meetings to support individual Democratic candidates. I am disgusted at the way these meetings are conducted. Visitors are required to register and introduce themselves but not allowed to speak.

Since the November 2010 election, a radical minority has had a case of sour grapes. Milt tried to influence questions and discussions on the special resolution. Another HCDCC member was yelled at and called traitor after the meeting, outside, away from media scrutiny, by another member because she did not support the resolution at that meeting.

Sounds like freedom of speech and respect is well and alive at the HCDCC. The Brown act and bylaws are selectively applied by these self-appointed “true Democrats.”

I find the local Republican party more welcoming. While I am not a Democrat, those who belittle moderate Democrats and all other parties exhibit hubris at its best.

y thoughts don’t go much deeper than the length of this column. Once I think an idea through I’m on to my next thought. But two letters that my March column generated bothered me so much that my brain refuses to move on.

In “Take the Money and Run With It” (March 1), I said that my daughter wants a gong she could bang to interrupt conversation and get a word in. I contrasted that to the power of corporations and wealthy individuals to mass distribute their voices through television advertisements.

The point? Speech you buy is more powerful than speech that costs nothing.

Reader Eric Black of Eureka said that if my daughter wants to spread her ideas to the masses all she needs is a Twitter account. And Cyndy Phillips of McKinleyville added that through e-mail, YouTube and other online communication tools she can reach millions. Well, my daughter has beautiful ideas in her 7-year-old head of cleaning up the earth and feeding poor people. How wonderful the world would be if it only took a Twitter account to spread those messages.

Pick up #litter on the beach, bring #bag to store, walk don’t drive, give money to #foodforpeople, and let’s all get along.@ AnaFernanda.

Here’s the problem. An estimated 300 million registered Twitter users send about 175 million tweets every day. On YouTube people view 4 billion videos every day.

YouTube boasts that people upload more videos each month than ABC, NBC and CBS combined created in 60 years.

In 1977, 150 million people watched the 12-part miniseries “Roots,” about a multigenerational family of black slaves and their descendants. They watched it because it was a riveting show. But they tuned into it in the first place because there wasn’t much else on. You didn’t have a DVR back then to record and store shows. These days, “Roots” would compete against “The Voice,” “NCIS,” “Jersey Shore,” “Judge Judy” (she still pulls them

in!) and anything people have recorded or ordered up from Netflix. None of those top rated shows pulled in more than 20 million viewers.

I won’t argue that important messages can’t travel the world via Twitter or YouTube. Both media helped lead to the toppling of Hosni Mubarak and Moammar Gadhafi. Kony 2012 is everywhere. But what’s the chance that your revolutionmaking tweet will penetrate that dense forest of 175 million daily tweets? It would be like winning the Lotto. I think winning the Lotto would be more likely to happen.

Just consider what people view and comment on these days. When I checked earlier this month, the most discussed YouTube video was Justin Bieber performing the song “Baby” with Ludicris. It had 732 million views and 7.8 million comments. Also on the top list was “Questions Every Intelligent Christian Wants to Know,” “Super Junior,” Lady Gaga and Eminem. The sixth most viewed video was “Charlie Bit My Finger Again” — about a baby that bit his brother’s finger (450 million views and counting!)

Revolution making?

The second most discussed video was a seconds-long one about Sub4Sub, which is a service that will help you generate viewers for your videos and subscribers for your video channel.

To do this you toss your name into a big digital hat. You agree to subscribe to just about anyone’s video channel if they will subscribe to yours. It’s like a grown up version of playing doctor. I’ll look at yours if you look at mine.

But you can generate more subscribers much faster if you pay Sub4sub. For $60 I could buy 2,000 subscribers in about 24 hours. Or for $440 I could buy 2,000 people who will view it, “like” it and comment on it. Imagine how many VLCs, as they call them, I could get with $4.4 million.

Or let’s get back to television. These days, none of the top TV shows get even a sixth of the viewership “Roots” did. But with enough money you could now buy a 30-second ad on seven shows and get that

kind of viewership. And you can post it on YouTube and Twitter it for free.

In the presidential election, super PACs have raised more than $200 million so far, according to Opensecrets.org, which compiles election fundraising and spending data. President Obama has raised $191 million. Mitt Romney has raised $87 million.

Here in California we won’t feel the force that paid speech will have in the presidential election, because our state isn’t one of nine swing states. In the nine states that the Washington Post says could go either to Obama or Romney — Ohio, Nevada, Florida, Iowa, Colorado, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin — people are going to be blasted with TV, magazine and newspaper ads, robo-calls and billboards, Facebook and Google ads, Twitter posts and YouTube videos and ads on YouTube videos, email spam, ads tacked on to the end of emails, radio ads, door fliers and junk snail mail. Some political hounds estimate that total spending could hit $1 billion. Much of that will be spent in just those nine states.

My daughter’s Twitter posts don’t have much of a chance against that flood.

There is a dangerous myth that Twitter and Facebook and YouTube foster. That’s the idea that because the Internet gives everyone access to a press, we each have the power to communicate our ideas worldwide. We don’t have that power.

We only have that potential. It isn’t the same thing. Corporations and people with money can pay to turn that potential into reality.

Then again, all that money that PACs will spend in the upcoming election might be a waste of time. Ohio residents might be too busy watching Charlie bite fingers to pay much attention to the commercials that air during “Jersey Shore.”

Sun and moon will perform a rare pas de deux in Humboldt skies on Sunday

This Sunday, sorry: no flares, no corona.

Just a ring of bright sun that’s dangerous to look at directly without special eye protection. It’ll feel more like a bright overcast than heavy twilight.

Even so, plenty of people are getting hyped up about the phenomenon. Locally, the centerline passes over Requa on the north bank of the Klamath, and the Requa Inn has been fully booked for nearly a year, with visitors coming from as far away as Europe. “We got our first booking for May 20 three years ago,” said Jan Wortman, one of the Inn’s owners, “and we’ve had to turn many people away. For us, this is unheard of to be booked up so far in advance.”

Closer to home, Arcata’s creamery district will celebrate with a free Solar Eclipse Festival, complete with stilt walkers, kinetic test drives and entertainment from the Arcata Interfaith Gospel Choir, Samba da Alegria, the Lonesome Roses and many more. Sponsors, including the Arcata Playhouse, Holly Yashi Jewelry, KHUM and the Creamery District Neighborhood Coalition, will close off a stretch of Ninth Street near L for the party, which runs from 3 to 7 p.m. Viewing should be great at eclipse time, when the sun will seem to hover right at the end of the street, said David Ferney, the playhouse’s co-artistic director. Be sure to wear the “cool eclipse viewing glasses” on sale during the festival, or bring your own.

verything you need to know about solar eclipses can be summed up in one number: 400. During an eclipse of the sun, when the moon comes between our star and the Earth, it’s a near-perfect fit: they look just about the same size. That’s because, while the diameter of the sun is some 400 times greater than that of the moon, the sun is about 400 times farther away. Pure fluke. When the moon is close to us in its elliptical orbit, the lunar disk appears slightly larger than that of the sun, so when they’re in line, we experience a total eclipse of the sun. This Sunday, however, the moon is nearly at “apogee”— when it’s farthest from us — so its disk is smaller than that of the sun, giving us an annular, or ring, eclipse.

In any given spot, an annular eclipse — with a full ring of light visible around the moon — is a rare thing, about as common as a total eclipse of the sun.

Humboldt won’t see another for decades.

From 2001 on through 2020, just 15 annular eclipses will be visible from anywhere on the planet, along with 13 total eclipses and a couple of hybrids (total or annular, depending on your location).

Visually, an annular eclipse is a starkly different experience from totality, when no sunlight gets past the moon, giving the weird impression of a black hole in the sky. At that time, naked eye viewing is fantastic, letting us see the corona of hot gases which surround the sun and, sometimes, pink solar flares or prominences.

head for the hills, where specially filtered binoculars and telescopes will be set up for public viewing by the nonprofit Astronomers of Humboldt. The group also plans to have some low tech pinhole boxes and possibly safety glasses available.

The astronomers will take over the south parking lot of the Kneeland Airport starting around 4:30 p.m., and they are encouraging people to bring picnic dinners. If the sky is clear, people can stay on for dark sky observations well into the evening, said club president Russ Owsley.

Whatever you do to mark this celestial event, be careful out there! If you’re in the “path of annularity” (seeing the complete ring), about 88 percent of the sun’s area will be covered. That still lets 12 percent of the sun’s light through, making the ring about 50,000 times brighter than a full moon. That represents an awful lot of photons, including high-energy ultraviolet ones, plenty enough to fry a whole bunch of an unprotected retina’s 100 million optical receptors in a few seconds. As with any partial eclipse of the sun, naked-eye viewing, even during the full extent of “annularity” is dangerous. (See box for safe viewing tips.)

In addition to the ring of sunlight, a couple of other visuals are worth looking for during the annular eclipse. One is the planet Venus, which might be visible if you look about 23 degrees east of the sun (about the span between your extended thumb and little finger held at arm’s length). The other is the “pinhole camera” effect, where you’ll see images of the sun’s ring on the ground through small holes formed by your fingers or a straw

hat, say.

Humboldtians are well placed to see the full extent of the annularity anywhere from Garberville on to the north. The sun will be low in the sky, around one-quarter of the way between the horizon and directly overhead. That’s assuming the western sky will be clear, of course; historically, we have about a 50 percent chance of clear skies THE ARCATA PLAYHOUSE’S JACKIE DANDENEAU WEARING on the coast for the afternoon SPECIAL ECLIPSE VIEWING GLASSES PHOTO BY BOB DORAN of May 20.

2,400 mph. The path of annularity will be between 147 and 201 miles wide.

Babylonian astronomers, 2,500 years ago, knew that the sun, Earth and moon return to about the same relative positions in the sky roughly once every 18 years, resulting in a similar eclipse. But there is a catch. This 18-year cycle — which has become known as the “saros” cycle — is made up of 223 synodic (full moon to full moon) months. That works out at about 18 years 11 days and eight hours. The eight hours has the effect of shifting each eclipse one-third of an Earth-revolution west from the previous one.

We’re next due partial solar eclipses in Humboldt County on Oct. 23, 2014; Aug. 21, 2017; and Oct. 14, 2023. We have to wait until Aug. 12, 2045 to experience a total eclipse of the sun here, which is actually pretty cool: Any one place on Earth only experiences totality about once every 360 years, on average. A year later, Feb. 5, 2046, Humboldt gets another annular eclipse.

If Sunday’s annular eclipse doesn’t quite do it for you (and truth is, the difference between a partial and a total solar eclipse is, well, day and night), be patient.

The United States is due a total eclipse in five years. On Aug. 21, 2017, the centerline passes right across Salem, Ore. Trust me, it’ll be worth the drive. ● Journal editor Carrie Peyton Dahlberg contributed to this report.

Blog Jammin’ POLITICS / BY RYAN BURNS / MAY 10, 12:29 P.M.

Dem Schism Gets Real Now it’s on: The struggle for control of the Democratic Party in Humboldt County has officially gone ballistic.

Two weeks ago we reported on an ideological rift in the Humboldt County Democratic Central Committee — a schism between liberal Democrats such as Eureka City Councilwoman Linda Atkins and her more conservative nemeses.

We assumed the showdown would take place at the ballot box on June 5, when eight candidates — four from each camp — vie for just four available seats in the committee’s fourth district. Turns out Atkins couldn’t wait that long.

At last night’s central committee meeting, Atkins introduced a resolution to remove her opponents, most of whom have just recently become associate members.

Namely she sought to oust fellow Eureka Councilmembers Marian Brady and Melinda Ciarabellini, Humboldt County Supervisor Virginia Bass, Harbor District Commissioner Richard Marks and his wife, Robin. [Update, 2:15 p.m.: Marks just called to say that his wife has not endorsed Bohn. He’s not sure why her name is listed on Bohn’s website, but he’s working to get it removed.]

On what grounds? All five [four, says Marks] have publicly endorsed Rex Bohn for First District Supervisor. The committee, meanwhile, has officially endorsed Cheryl Seidner, the lone Democrat in the race. (Bohn is now registered independent, though he was a Republican as recently as June of last year.) In a ballsy move, Brady even turned up at the meeting wearing a “Rex Bohn for Supervisor” hoodie.

Turns out this is a violation of committee bylaws, which allow for the removal of any committee member “publicly advocating that voters should not vote for the Democratic endorsee for any office.”

Atkins stood at the front of the room, reading her resolution while the committee, including Brady and Bass (along with her husband, Matthew Owen), followed along on print-outs provided by Atkins. It was a bold and aggressive move, and it appeared to throw her intended targets off guard — along with most everyone else.

The resolution sent the meeting into procedural chaos. Committee Chair Milt Boyd explained that in order to consider a special resolution introduced at the same meeting, the committee first had to bypass standard voting procedures, and to do that it needed approval from two-thirds of the commit-

tee. In other words, 12 of the 18 voting members present had to agree to consider the resolution before they could even talk about ousting Brady, Bass, Ciarabellini and the Markses.

It didn’t get that far. After several minutes of cross-talk, head-scratching and points of order, only 10 members voted to consider the resolution — two shy of the number needed. Confusion was largely to blame. After the meeting, several members admitted that they weren’t sure exactly what they were voting on. Another said she would have voted yes but had “nodded off.”

This doesn’t mean that Atkins’ resolution has failed; it’s merely been delayed. It will be put on the agenda for the next scheduled committee meeting, which won’t take place until June 13, eight days after the election.

(If the committee had agreed last night to consider the resolution, the vote on removal would have taken place at a special meeting on May 30.)

This could potentially set up an even stranger scenario: There’s a good chance that at least one of the four more conservative candidates will win a voting position on the committee on Election Day. If that happens, Atkins said, the next committee vote will determine whether or not the insurgent victor(s) can be seated. This is political hardball at its fiercest.

After the meeting, Bass said she agreed to endorse Bohn a year and a half ago, “long before” she decided to run for a seat on the committee. She won’t take back that endorsement now. Bass alleged that the committee has not been consistent with its application of the bylaws, and she said Atkins’ resolution “seems contrived.” She also questioned whether the committee’s bylaws are consistent with others in the state.

Brady left the meeting before we could ask for her response.

Atkins said she’d written up the resolution the previous night after she learned that a TV commercial for the Bohn campaign was touting the endorsements of Democratic committee members. This issue, she said, goes to the heart of the committee’s mission. ●

hh, the sounds of the season …

“Maaaaa! Make me a sandwich!”

Or who can forget …

“Daaaaad, I’m bored. Take me to Tilt.”

Or the timeless …

“Can we PLEEEZE change the channel to SpongeBob?” (or whatever they’re watching now).

Yes, having the kids around the house can be pure joy. But with the annual summer surrender of local schools staring parents in the face, it might be a good idea to strategize so as not to incur more mirth than you can handle. Absence, after all … it does good stuff fer your ticker.

Thus, every year, the North Coast Journal steps it up to list your local options for “sharing”

your offspring.

We call it our “Summer of Fun” issue! Hopefully, for two reasons: The following programs are meant to simultaneously entertain, educate and occupy your kids, while perhaps giving you time for a little Summer Fun of your own!

So! Sit your kid(s) down at the kitchen table.

Give ’em a magic marker. Place the following pages before them. Tell ’em, “Circle what you’d just love to do.” Then, when they’re done, go back through and cross out the listings with the prices they clearly weren’t paying attention to.

Now, Humboldt parents, rest easy. Enjoy knowing that summer is almost here … and you have some peace and quiet scheduled!

You’re welcome.

CONCERTGOERS AT REGGAE ON THE RIVER PHOTO BY BOB DORAN

Summer Music Festival Guide 2012

By Bob Doran

S

ummer’s just around the corner, which makes it time for another round of music festivals, big, small and in between. Some are tailored to your specific music taste, some more eclectic. Among the options here in Humboldt or not-too-far away: The 36th Annual Summer Arts and Music Festival. Despite troubles with the state park system, Benbow Lake Recreation Area will once again see festival action for a couple of weekends, starting with the Mateel’s first big festival of the season. Among the five dozen acts on four stages (along with art, craft and food booths, a kid’s zone, dancers, etc.), headliners include Fishbone, Thomas Mapfumo, Diego’s Umbrella, French klezmer band Kabbalah, The Shook Twins, Monkey, and locals Joanne Rand and Absynth Quintet.

June 2 and 3, Benbow Lake Recreation Area south of Garberville. www.mateel.org.

The 35th Annual Redwood Run. After a year at Cooks Valley, the Kiwanis folks are moving the biker bash back to its longtime home at Riverview Ranch. Expect the usual biker games along with rock and blues by Lukas Nelson, Charlie Brechtel, The Fryed Brothers, II Big with Billy Idol, Kaye Bohler, The Unauthorized Rolling Stones, and a tribute to the late Ronnie Montrose with special guest Michael Lee Firkins. June 8-10, Riverview Ranch, Piercy. www.kiwanisrwr.com.

The Third Annual Jefferson State Old Time

24 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • THURSDAY, MAY 17, 2012 • northcoastjournal.com

Revue. Missing Link is back with another alt. old time/roots fest, this year moved up a bit so it’s not competing with the Folklife Festival.

Among the acts confirmed so far: Frank Fairfield, Petrovick Blasting Company, The New Five Cents, Clampitt Family and The No Good Redwood Ramblers. Saturday, July 7, Arcata Playhouse.

The 35th Annual Humboldt Folklife Festival. As usual, the Folklife folks conclude Dell’Arte’s Mad River Festival with over a week full of music, all local, mostly folk with some variations. It starts Friday, July 13, with a Kickoff Party at Mad River Brewery featuring The Pilot Rock Ramblers and The Spindrifters and a Barn Dance at the Manila Community Center with Sue Moon and friends, continues Sunday with Blue Lake’s Annie and Mary Day in Perigot Park, and then moves to Dell’Arte for a kick-off performance by The Scotia Band in the Rooney Amphitheater followed by Songwriters Night in the Carlo. Tuesday’s Jazz Night is in the Carlo too, with the Redwood Jazz Association helping to curate. Wednesday the fest moves back to the amphitheater for another Country Night (with Huckleberry Flint once again headlining).

Thursday it’s Bluegrass and Beyond (out back).

Friday it’s an Old Time Barn Dance at the Arcata Veteran’s Hall. Wrapping it all up with a big red bow: The All Day Folklife Free Festival Saturday, July 21, with dozens of bands, songwriters, pickers, workshops and more, in and around

the Dell’Arte building. July 15-21, Blue Lake and Arcata. www.humboldtfolklife.org.

The 28th Annual Reggae on the River. The Mateel would like to move to another more versatile location, preferably French’s Camp, but for now, Reggae is back at Benbow. The 30 plus reggae and world music artists are split between two stages; among them Toots and The Maytals, Junior Toots, Midnite, Oliver Mtukudzi and Black Spirits, Fully Fullwood’s Tosh Meets Marley, Romain Virgo, Fantan Mojah, Pato Banton and locals Synrgy and JUCE. July 21 and 22, at Benbow Lake State Recreation Area. www.mateel.org.

The 19th Annual Trinity Tribal Stomp. This classic hippie music fest out Highway 299 falls on the same busy July weekend as Reggae and the end of Folklife. The Stomp lineup leans toward the jamband/neo-stringband side with Victor Wooten Band, Poor Man’s Whiskey, Peter Rowan’s Big Twang Theory, Clan Dyken, The Shook Twins and Absynth Quintet all on Saturday; David Nelson Band, Moonalice, LoCura and the all-star Tribal Stomp Orchestra featuring Mark Karan headlining Sunday. July 21 and 22 at Junction City Park on Highway 299 in Junction City. Trinitytribalstomp.org.

The 12th Annual Buddy Brown Blues Festival.

Expect most of the usual suspects when all-local blues bash returns on Saturday, Aug. 4, in Blue Lake’s Perigot Park. www.humboldtfolklife.org.

The Fourth Annual Mad River Summerfest.

Parking problems at last year’s fest almost ended this free summer treat along the Mad, but it’s returning with the same local focus on the music, just on a new date: Saturday, Aug. 18, and a new location, Christie’s Ranch, the pumpkin patch on Glendale Drive, west of Blue Lake.

The 15th Annual Blues by the Bay. Redwood Coast Music Festivals’ Labor Day weekend blueso-rama is back full force. Saturday is ladies day with Laurie Morvan, Janeva Magness, Deanna Bogart, Dana Fuchs and the token male, Chris Cain.

Sunday it’s roots blues with David Jacob-Strain, Eric Bibb String Band featuring Dirk Powell and Cedric Watson and James Cotton: Superharp.

Sept. 1 and 2, Halverson Park, by the Adorni Center, Eureka. www.bluesbythebay.org.

The Not Quite Annual Bummerfest. When new organizers announced that the local alt. music fest founded in 2001 was back for another round, they were swamped with bands wanting to play. Among those tentatively confirmed: The Monster Women, Eureka Garbage Company, Gunsafe, Radios in Caves and Speed of Darkness.

Sept. 1 and 2, Eureka Veterans Hall.

The 39th Annual North Country Fair. The Same Old People are currently booking musicians and vendors for another very Arcatan weekend of crafts, food and music. Sept. 15 and 16 on the

Arcata Plaza. www.sameoldpeople.org.

Two big festivals we’ve listed in this guide for years are officially on hiatus: After 33 years, the venerable Harmony Festival is “reorganizing” and looking at “the possibility of creating Harmony Festivals in the coming years.” And, after losing its home in Laytonville to the Gaia Festival, Earthdance moved to Vallejo, then founder Chris Dekker returned home to Australia. Now the NorCal Earthdance is “taking a sabbatical for 2012.”

Among the many other surviving music fests elsewhere in Northern California: The 18th Annual Sierra Nevada World Music Festival. This year’s SNWMF is heavy on reggae, especially roots-style, with some of the top acts in the field including Jimmy Cliff, Third World, Luciano, Linton Kwesi Johnson and Israel Vibration, plus Jah Sun and Lion Camp and AfroMassive representing Humboldt. June 22-24, Mendocino County Fairgrounds, Boonville. www. snwmf.com.

The 17th Annual Kate Wolf Memorial Music Festival. This fest always presents stellar folk and roots musicians, and this year is no exception. Headliners include k.d. lang, Lucinda Williams, Richard Thompson, Ruthie Foster, Loudon Wainwright III, Leftover Salmon, Texas Tornados, Marcia Ball and Poor Man’s Whiskey, and that’s just the top of the bill. June 29-July 1, at Black Oak Ranch, north of Laytonville. www. katewolfmusic.com.

The 22nd Annual High Sierra Music Festival.

Still a jamband fan paradise, this fest keeps stretching out with Ben Harper, Built to Spill, STS9 and Toot and the Maytals among the headliners along with Galactic, ALO, Railroad Earth, and the twangy High Sierra-conceived Brokedown in Bakersfield with Tim and Nicki Bluhm joined by members from ALO. July 5-8, Plumas Sierra County Fairgrounds, Quincy. www.highsierramusic.com.

The Second Annual Gaia Festival. Launched last year by the Hog Farm as a slightly-downsized Earthdance-style fest, this time they have Michael Franti and Spearhead, Yonder Mountain, Hot Buttered Rum, Kinky, Dumpstaphunk, Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars, Bomba Estereo, Baka Beyond and David Lindley, just for starters.

Aug. 3-5, Black Oak Ranch, Laytonville. www. thegaiafestival.com.

The Fifth Annual Outside Lands. This eclectic multi-stage mega-fest in Golden Gate Park is supremely high-powered with Stevie Wonder, Neil Young, Jack White, Metallica, The Foo Fighters, Beck, Norah Jones, Santigold and Skrillex among the 60-or-so acts. Wow. Aug. 10-12, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. www. sfoutsidelands.com. l more Summer of Fun continued on next page northcoastjournal.com • North Coast Journal • Thursday, May 17, 2012

Doggy Days

Deadline: Noon Thursday the week before publication

y wife and I have a misshapen dog named Delroy.

A boisterous mutt born into a dirt patch in the Fieldbrook hills (and a product of sibling inbreeding, we suspect), Delroy looks sort of like Pete the Pup, that floppy-eared pit bull from The Little Rascals, with some unfortunate exceptions. He’s proportioned like a dwarf — short, awkward limbs, the front ones curved like little bananas — and he has a pronounced under-bite, so his upper lip often gets lodged behind a bottom row of haphazard tombstone teeth, lending him the air of a hillbilly moonshiner.

When we walk Delroy on a leash he has trouble coordinating his dwarfy, malformed legs. Each one hops and stumbles independently; his chaotic gait brings to mind a Radio Flyer wagon on square wheels. Not that it bothers him much; Delroy’s fairly amiable by nature (unless you ask a mailman or our vacuum cleaner). But lemme tell ya, set him loose in an open field or unleash him on the beach and Delroy can fly. Those

DELROY PHOTO BY RYAN BURNS

stubby limbs become a blur, his droopy lips flap in the breeze and his eyes light up. Nothing makes him happier.

All dog lovers share the joy of such moments. But unless you live somewhere like the Fieldbrook hills, these opportunities can be hard to come by — assuming you follow the rules, which you totally should. Here are some basics: If your dog’s not trained to come every single time you call her, sorry — no off-leash privileges. If your dog gets aggressive with other critters (humans included), better keep him tethered.

Does your dog poop? Yeah, I thought so. Pick that $#!t up, people.

And here’s an important one: Only let your dog off leash in places where it’s allowed. Liberated dogs can wreak havoc on sensitive wildlife in areas like the Arcata Marsh, and it’s against the law to set ’em loose in all but a handful of Humboldt County locales. A few such glorious places are listed below,

but remember the rules and check signage for specifics. Cuz I don’t know about your dog, but Delroy can’t read.

Eureka: Samoa Dunes Recreation Area; Headwaters Forest Reserve.

Arcata: Mad River County Park.

McKinleyville: Clam Beach County Park, Hiller Dog Park (beyond the split-rail fence) and adjoining Mad River Bluffs.

Ferndale: Centerville Beach County Park, Lost Coast Headlands.

Manila: Mal-e’l Dunes (South), the waterline trail at Humboldt Coastal Nature Center.

Loleta: Mike Thompson Wildlife Area, South Spit Humboldt Bay. Six Rivers National Forest: Except in swimming areas.

Shelter Cove: King Range National Conservation Area. ●

There’s an illustration I recall from an old schoolbook that still defines the popular conception of human evolution (at least for those who believe in it at all). It depictes a progression of primates, hairy apes becoming slightly less hairy and more two-legged until the crouching Neanderthals become the modern human, upright and standing tall, poised to invent subprime mortgages. It’s a tale of destiny and inevitable progress, and it’s pretty much wrong.

Chris Stringer is a prominent paleoanthropologist affiliated with the Natural History Museum in London.

In this book he attempts a comprehensive survey of the still-changing picture of human species development.

He begins with the state of knowledge in the 1970s, when he started his professional work, and he describes in some detail the factors involved in how that picture has changed. He explores fast-moving advances in contributing fields: not only in new techniques for locating and unearthing fossils, but in dating them with exotic new technologies (like the synchrotron, of which a very big example is the Large Hadron Collider).

Genetics now contributes in various ways, advancing with stunning speed. The human genome was essentially sequenced less than 20 years ago. Now there’s a sequenced Neanderthal genome. Stringer also considers cultural questions based on artifacts such as tools, paints and musical instruments.

Stringer writes a lot about how information was developed, so the big picture emerges in fragments.

While all the new data answers some questions, basically it seems to have complicated the story. It’s now considered likely that several of the many human species (an earlier book counted 22) coexisted at the same time, maybe in the same place. Modern humans carry some Neanderthal DNA (and before the caveman jokes start, Neanderthal males and females may have been more equal physically and culturally than are modern humans).

So how did we become the only humans on Earth?

Did modern humans develop traits that gave them competitive advantage through natural selection? In some ways probably, but traits that survived for no discernable reason (genetic drift) also helped. I’ve noticed that in recent years, historians are taking the role of climate more seriously as a causal factor in the rise and fall of civilizations. Similarly, this book describes climate changes as crucial elements in the prehistoric story of human species.

There are still plenty of puzzles, but Stringer concludes that we’re here at least partly by accident, by luck. “Sometimes the difference between success and failure in evolution is a narrow one,” he concludes, and notes that we’ve now got “an overpopulated planet and the prospect of global climate change on a scale that humans have never faced before.” Let’s hope our species is up to the challenge.

Patti Smith Van Duzer Theatre May 10

This is the girl who changed it for all of us girls in the ’70s. Patti Smith. She was beyond cool. Counter culture and cultured. She was a bona fide poet. She was an artist. A balls-out skinny wisp of a woman with an electric guitar hanging from her shoulder. Her voice, in modulating harmonies, belted out our raw desire, our hunt for beauty. Through Patti Smith we sought who we were in the world, as she exclaimed it for us.

The Van Duzer felt like a small room last Thursday when Smith took the stage with her longtime guitar player Lenny Kaye. She acted like we knew each other as she sang to us, recited poetry, told stories (in her Jersey accent), made us laugh. Ever in blue jeans, a loose-fitting black suit jacket and long brown hair haloed with strands of white, she could have stepped right out of one of one of Robert Mapplethorpe’s iconic black and white photos from decades ago.

Smith read from Just Kids, her love song of a book chronicling her relationship with Mapplethorpe, their prelude to fame and tenure at the infamous Chelsea Hotel, arriving at the maelstrom of all things ’60s, when it seemed the world would explode.

While singing a lovely and plaintive Helpless,

by Neil Young, Smith lost her place for a moment and later intimately explained, “I know the song. Sometimes I start thinking about my late husband (guitarist) Fred ‘Sonic’ Smith.” Her naked sadness made the theater feel smaller yet.

Her voice is in great shape, moving from rich and evocative to gravelly and raucous. After relating the backstory of writing verses for Because the Night at the Chelsea one night while waiting endlessly for Fred to call from tour with his own band, Smith and Kaye played a rousing version of her only No. 1 hit, emphasizing the famed lines, “Have I doubt when I’m alone/ Love is a ring the telephone.“ Asked by an audience member about two of her art forms she said, “Poems and songs are different things. Songs I’m writing to you, to the people … a poem, I‘m not conscious of the listener. I’m very involved in the language of the poem. A poem may be more beautiful, but a song more generous.”

And a magnificently generous evening it was.

So many of us were shaped by the same forces that drive her work. Patti Smith onstage singing and reading, that is life of the artist and it is happening right now. She is Patti Smith. Twenty or 30 or 40 or 65 years old, she is true to herself, and that is the reason her work continues to inspire.

T

here’s one thing constant in the restaurant world: change. Menus change; restaurants come and go. It can be hard to keep track.

That’s why we put out a new Menu of Menus every year. There’s a new one out, which you can find on select newsstands and other locations throughout Humboldt County.

So, what’s new?

For those who love barbecue, Shamus T Bones in Carlotta has been a destination restaurant. Now former-building-contractor-turned-BBQ-chef Chris Barry has opened his dream restaurant in a brand spanking new rustic-meets-Craftsman building on the waterfront (behind the Best Western Plus Bayshore Inn) with an expansive view of Humboldt Bay. Expect the same Texas-style barbecue menu, heaven for carnivores, but with more seafood, including a full oyster bar, as well as new options for vegetarians. And yes, the awesome collection of mounted trophy heads made the move.

When our last Menu of Menus came out we were still waiting for Luke Patterson of Luke’s Joint to open his dinnerhouse, The Other Place, on K Street in Arcata. It was worth the wait for what is arguably the most innovative menu in the county. Luke calls the food “FrenchAmerican,” but that’s too limiting for the range of influences in play. Those curious about how he does it, and what goes on in a cutting-edge kitchen, are invited to re-

serve “The Kitchen Table,” a counter with seating for three right in the restaurant’s kitchen.

It’s been a couple of years since Avalon expanded to Arcata with Bizou, a second location offering what was basically the Avalon menu. After spending part of 2011 on hiatus, the space in the Safeway shopping center has reopened as a casual burger joint, Bizou Burger. The new menu includes variations on the classic burger using local grass-fed beef, plus BBQ ribs, pulled pork, Buffalo wings and Caesar salad, all with that Avalon twist. Vegetarian and gluten-free options? Of course.

Before Ramone’s established itself as one of Humboldt’s premier bakeries, it was an Old Town restaurant known first as Ramone’s Café, then as Ramone’s at Night.

Berit Meyer was among the staff (she’s also a founding owner). She now oversees bakeries in five locations with her husband, Brian Ferguson. About a year ago their production bakery near St. Joseph Hospital took over the neighborhood grocery next door, Duck’s Market, to become Ramone’s Harrison Bakery & Café.

The well-appointed space offers the usual bakery fare along with a breakfast menu with egg dishes, French toast and the like.

At lunch there’s pizza, panini, soups and salads along with daily specials. There’s also a carefully selected wine list, beer on tap and a rotating dinner menu served until 7 p.m. most weekdays, until 9 p.m.

Fridays and Saturdays — which means it’s

once again Ramone’s at night — if not by name, by schedule.

Despite its off-the-beaten-path Eureka location, there’s often a wait for a table at hot spot Brick and Fire Bistro. Not to worry, simply head a couple of doors down F Street to its satellite, Two Doors Down. The cozy wine bar took over the space that once housed World Café. Wait for your table at Brick and Fire and have an appetizer, fondue or a cheese board while you sip a glass of wine. Or have a light meal there. Choose from soups and salads and finish with dessert.

You may not notice much of a change, but longtime Northtown Arcata favorite Folie Douce has a new owner, Chris Hollen, who has been a server there for years. One new addition: something she calls “Sweet Sunday Madness” the second Sunday of each month, with appetizers based around ingredients from local famers paired with appropriate regional wines.

As 2011 came to an end, longtime Old Town fave Hurricane Kate’s called it quits and baked its last wood-fired pizza. Now Alex Moore from The Pearl (right next door) is taking over. A new name was in order (the original Hurricane Kate blew out of town years ago). He’s going with the address: Five Eleven. Moore has big plans: He’s already enlisted Dave Griswold from the original Kate’s crew as head chef — he’s working on a menu along locavore Northern Pacific cuisine lines. Interior changes include moving the bar to the other side of the room and building a stage in back for live music. The industrious Moore projects a July opening. He will definitely have a very busy 2012: He also recently took over The Yellow Rose, a bar and grill in Petrolia (the only one in the Mattole Valley) and is rebuilding that from the ground up with plans to reopen in June.

Also due for resurrection: The Ritz. The Old Town bar and restaurant has been empty since Zhuo Zhao Ellis merged her Italian restaurant, Cin Cin, and her sushi/ teppanyaki operation as the Bayfront Restaurant on the waterfront. Now her Bayfront partner, Jack Wu, is moving into the space she left behind, turning it into a Thai/French restaurant, presumably named The Ritz. (Why change that classic neon signage?)

When the Journal asked readers to choose their favorite pizza last year, Paul’s Live From New York took home the award. At the time the pizza place was working on a new location on the corner of Seventh and F streets near the Eureka Theater. The big, roomy space

is now up and running, turning out the same high quality New York-style pizzas you’ll find in McKinleyville.

Z & J Asian Subs opened a couple of years ago in the steel-clad building near Target that once offered drive-through coffee. Z & J’s limited menu — mainly tasty sub sandwiches and a generous Asian chicken salad — won enough followers to warrant expansion. Now Z & J has taken over the almost-new Quiznos on Fifth in Eureka, offering the original menu plus: Dinner specials rotate night to night (hickory-smoked prime rib on Fridays).

There’s also an array of exotic snacks, soft drinks and juices — and tables so you can sit and eat.

The space on the corner of Fifth and G streets in Eureka has been home to a series of restaurants offering everything from Philly cheese steak sandwiches to Indian food. Next up: Sopai’s Place, a Southeast Asian sandwich/pizza joint operated by Sopai Chum, who comes from the same family that runs Don’s Donuts in Arcata.

The old Waterwheel Restaurant in Garberville has been reborn as Sequoia Steak and Pub, serving lunch and dinner six days a week. As you can guess from the name, it’s primarily a steak house, although plans are afoot for seasonal seafood, and it already has the requisite vegetarian options and salad bar, which, says owner Pat Bilandzijah, will always be organic and as GMO-free as possible.

Kurt Kramer and company are almost done refurbishing the earthquakedamaged Healy Brothers Building, former home of the Old Town Bar and Grill. That restaurant/bar/nightclub is not returning; instead plans are under way for a pub called The Siren’s Song Tavern, with an emphasis on microbrews and small production craft beers. The tavern keepers Phyllis Barba from the Accident Gallery and her partner Nathan Swenson, a lecturer at HSU, figure they’ll have around a hundred different beers — that’s right, 100 bottles of beer on the wall.

Also offering 100 bottles of beer and a wide array of microbrews on tap, exotic and otherwise, is The Local, which recently opened downstairs in the Professional Building on F in Eureka, where Obento Sushi used to be. It follows close on the heels of The Speakeasy, a new, intimate full-service bar on Opera Alley in Old Town.

Does that sound like a lot of new places to explore? There will be more before you know it. l

Legend of the Falls

Two entertaining takes on immortality at Dell’Arte

By William S. Kowinski williamkowinski@northcoastjournal.com

I

remember my mother standing at an ironing board in the motel room where our family was staying on a vacation trip in the summer of 1960, as we heard the radio report of what came to be called “the miracle at Niagara”: a 7-year-old boy had been swept over the titanic Horseshoe Falls and survived. He was picked up at the bottom by the tourist boat, “Maid of the Mist.” We had visited the Falls just hours before it happened. It was a wonder just hearing about it.

The first person to intentionally go over those falls and survive was Annie Edson Taylor, a down-on-her-luck teacher who said she was 43, but was actually 63.

She did it in a specially built barrel in 1901. Her story is the basis of one of the two original pieces on the Carlo Theatre stage at Dell’Arte for its second and final weekend, under the umbrella title of Beyond Belief. They are the thesis projects of third-year students in the MFA program at the Dell’Arte International School.

The story of this remarkable woman is preceded by The Most Remarkable Man of the Age, although he’s fictional. MFA candidate Myque Franz adapted an Edgar

Allen Poe story (“The Man That Was Used Up”) and poem (“The Conqueror Worm”), and created this piece with three former Dell’Arte students: Eric Hoffman, Zita Nyarady and Brandon J. Wilson.

It has the satiric mood of the Poe story but owes as least as much to his macabre side, as well as perhaps to melodrama, morality tales, German Expressionism and those beloved (by some) cheap horror flicks. An Everyman named Thompson seeks the secret of the rumored immortality of the elusive figure, Gen. Dr. John A.B.C. Smith, PhD. Thompson meets various bizarre characters (Pompeygirl, Dr. Guru Stretchmout, the Cognoscenti Twins, Sinivate the Worm etc.) before learning the secret the hard way, in a kind of Alfred Hitchcock Presents twist.

At least that’s what happened when I saw it. The nature of these projects is that they change, especially from one weekend to the next. It was an entertaining and skillfully presented piece, with all the expected physical flourishes on, behind and even under the stage. It managed to incorporate a variation on the Actor’s Nightmare: finding yourself onstage — maybe in your underwear — with no

idea of what the play is, or the words of your next line. This helped give this entire piece the quality of a nightmare.

Heroine of Horseshoe Falls is the work of the three third-year participants: Rachel Brown, Meghan Frank and Pratik Motwani. It follows the general biography of Annie Edson Taylor, though it shapes it for affecting and artful effect. But it also adds much texture and detail. It begins with a striking theatrical image, which I won’t spoil except to say that it, like some other images, postures and dance movements, reminded me of photos and films of Agnes de Mille’s early work.

When Taylor’s husband is killed in the Civil War she is left to her own devices.

After her wanderings and struggles as a teacher, she gets the idea of plunging down the Horseshoe Falls to make her fortune. The real Annie Taylor’s desperation seems softened by a delusion well-known in our time, of self-affirmation and immortality through a famous accomplishment.

Pratik Motwani (who rocketed to local stardom in last year’s Mary Jane: The Musical — and yes, he’s back this summer!) plays her carney-eyed manager who siphons off what little money she makes. He sees Annie as a freak attraction, while she sees herself as an inspiring story. Meghan Frank, who is excellent as Annie throughout, is especially riveting as her elder self: the former “Queen of the Mist” selling penny postcards memorializing her exploits. Her rueful sweetness in defeat feels true. Meghan Frank is an actor with range.

Rachel Brown plays the “inner Annie” and a half-dozen other parts with efficiency and charm. Spoken exposition got confusing at times, but some of the writing was especially evocative: the remembered scene of Annie getting the news of her husband’s death, for instance.

There were bursts of comedy, as in the old “Niagara Falls! Slowly I turn …” bit I first saw in a Three Stooges film — barely integrated but fun.

Michael Foster designed lighting and Lydia Foreman the costumes. Daniel Spencer is technical director and Kristin Shumaker the production stage manager — all for both shows. The lighting for each was especially effective in setting the mood from the start. Beyond Belief continues this weekend at Dell’Arte in Blue Lake, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m.

Coming Up: North Coast Repertory Theatre opens the 2003 Broadway musical Avenue Q on May 24. It runs through June 23. l

Going Viral

Nicki Bluhm and The Gramblers, plus Ryan MacEvoy, Broken Water and music for a black sun

By Bob Doran

bobdoran@northcoastjournal.com

W

hat makes something “go viral” and bounce exponentially around the Net garnering countless tweet pointers, Facebook shares and millions of hits? It’s hard to say. One thing’s for certain, that word, “hit,” has taken on a new meaning. Marketing departments everywhere are trying to figure out the formula, since going viral has become a mark of success and can serve as an instant career boost.

Take for example something that happened on the Journal website earlier this year. Our Google Analytics watcher Andrew Goff noticed an unexpected traffic spike in connection with a Bad Kitty show at the Red Fox featuring Sarah Blackwood from the Canadian psychobilly band The Creepshow — oddly, a show that never happened.

It was cancelled because of a little video Ms. Blackwood made with her side project, Walk Off the Earth. The vid shows her

and her four bandmates playing a song by the Belgian-Australian songwriter Gotye, “Somebody That I Used to Know” — all on the same guitar. At some point after she’d booked her solo tour the vid became an overnight sensation: At this point, it has been viewed over 107 million times. With Blackwood’s instant career bump, overnight Eureka became too small a pond. But the lingering show announcement, with a pic that somehow ranked high in Google Image searches, brought a measurable bump in our web traffic. The song itself is the epitome of viralness: Gotye’s video for it is approaching 210 million hits on YouTube. The song has been performed on The Voice, American Idol and Glee, and Gotye did it on Saturday Night Live — all within the last couple of months.

While it’s not quite at the same stratospheric level, a YouTube vid titled “Hall and Oates — I Can’t Go For That — Cover by

Nicki Bluhm and The Gramblers — Van Session 17” seems to be going viral. Uploaded in March, it was at 1,205,500 views last time I checked. It’s a casual, lo-fi recording, shot with an iPhone in a moving tour van with Ms. Bluhm on vocals and kazoo, a guitarist next to her, a keyboard player in the way back sitting next to Nicki’s husband, Tim, who sings sweet harmony and strums percussion on a Martin Backpacker guitar adapted with a sheet of paper threaded through the strings.

The song is used as a marketing tool: In exchange for your email address you can get a free download, an offer made via YouTube, where you’ll also find links to the band’s website, Facebook and iTunes pages.

Fans of the “California soul” band The Mother Hips will recognize Tim Bluhm as that band’s lead singer/songwriter. He’s still with The Hips, but has been focusing attention on The Gramblers, who have been working on their second album at Mission Bells Studio in San Francisco. Nicki and Tim have become something of a power couple on the festival circuit: They’re playing a bunch of fests this summer including Kate Wolf and High Sierra, in both cases doing sets with an alt. Cali-country band called Brokedown in Bakersfield with members of ALO, a project born at last summer’s High Sierra.

Nicki Bluhm and The Gramblers will be spending a lot of time in that tour van in the coming months. It brings them to Arcata this weekend for a Sunday show at Humboldt Brews, where I’m sure you’ll hear “I Can’t Go For That” live and in person along with a bunch of Tim and Nicki’s songs.

Aoife Hearty has a sound that’s hard to pinpoint. She Irish, from County Laois, but she now lives in Leeds and is part of the Brit neo-soul-jazz/electro scene a la Morcheeba and Goldfrapp. Her band, Rodina, assembled in jamband-central Colorado, features Joe Tatton, keyboardist from New Mastersounds, along with members from Colorado jam/funkband Fox Street All Stars. The guys drop jazzy soul with hints of reggae behind Aoife’s delicate vocals. What is it? Decide for yourself when Rodina plays at the Red Fox Thursday.

DJ Red writes to say, “As you probably already know, the next Missing Links Soul Night at HumBrews is this Saturday. The guest DJs this week are Rickshaw and myself (King Maxwell will be out of town so I’m happily filling his shoes). Missing Link just got pre-sale tickets in, and they’re already selling like johnnycakes. Get ’em while you still can.

And we all really hope that people will come out early to support the opener, as there’s nothing more disheartening to a DJ than playing to an empty room. First record drops at 9.” Red’s 45-only set will focus on “Northern soul.” Ask him what that means.

You’ll also find the Missing Link DJ Crew spinning at the Arcata Playhouse Sunday afternoon as part of the big Solar Eclipse Street Festival in the newly proclaimed Creamery District (you’ll find more about

the eclipse and the street fair elsewhere in this paper.) The festival is an ambitious (free) event with two stages featuring all sorts of dancers: Ya Habibi Dance Company, Chakra Nation Hoopers and Samba Da Alegria, and music: teen rockers 51 Cards, Lonesome Roses, Colin and Cory, The Interfaith Choir, The Big Forgive, and Jan Bramlett just before the sun disappears. Post-eclipse the action moves indoors to the Arcata Playhouse where Absynth Quintet plays to bring back the sun (that part costs money).

Pianist Ryan MacEvoy grew up in Humboldt; local classical music lovers traced his progress as the child prodigy entered the HSU music program as a teen, worked with the late Deborah Clasquin, graduated at the age of 18, and went on to earn a masters degree from USC, with stops along the way to play a concert at Carnegie Hall and record a CD of music by French composer Milosz Magin. He’s back in town this weekend for the Eureka Symphony spring concert Friday and Saturday nights at Arkley Center, where he’ll take on Sergei Rachmaninoff’s technically challenging “Piano Concerto No. 3 in D minor Opus 30.” The program also has the symphony performing Mozart’s “Great G minor Symphony” No. 40, K.550. If you show up early (7 p.m.) you’ll find John Chernoff and Daniela Mineva at the piano explaining the musical structure, historical context and current significance of the pieces.

Self-described “hacker space rock” trio CMKT 4 is on a national tour of “hackerspaces, makerspaces, co-working spaces and fab labs.” The trio is teaching workshops on DIY electronics and circuit bending, which involves repurposing electronic gadgets (for example a “Speak and Spell”) by messing with the innards to create new music/noise instruments. The hackers are in Humboldt next week schooling DIYers in workshops where you can make your own “Creme DeMentia Contact Microphone” from a bottlecap, a few wires and some basic electronics.

Monday they’re at John Haynes Memorial Veterans’ Hall in Garberville, where the 6 p.m. workshop is preceded by a potluck dinner (at 5 p.m.). Tuesday afternoon (3-6) they’re at the MARZ Project upstairs in the Carson Block Building (517 Third St.) in Old Town Eureka. Both workshops will conclude with some sort of space rock concert.

Later on Tuesday at the Shanty, The Monster Women share a bill with Broken Water, a band from Olympia, Wash. The trio, Jon Hanna on guitar, Kanako Pooknyw and Dillan Norton on drums and bass, is about to release an album called Tempest for Sub-pop sister label Hardly Art. The collection of nowave/grunge/shoegaze songs, influenced by “Russian punk-rock poets, the ocean, drowning, the Occupy Movement, nightmares, dreams, substances and others,” is not out officially until May 29, but the band might have some on the road. If so, buy one. That’s how bands put gas in those vans.

Recital Season

Spring is in the air, and so are dancers!

By Stephanie Silvia dance@northcoastjournal.com

S

pringtime! Baseball for some.

Dance recitals for others. (With no chance of being rained out.) In local studios all over the county a host of teachers are diligently rehearsing, readying their students to be on stage. Producing shows takes a tremendous amount of planning and labor. Add kids to the mix and whoa — there’s an undertaking of epic proportions, the anticipation shooting through the roof.

Many dance schools have a range of students from pre-K through high school, with a pre-professional program of advanced teenagers, along with young adults and faculty forming small dance companies. This is always a boon for the youngsters, who get to see where the training may lead, and for the adults in the audience, who just ardently watched 15 dances in a row of emergent ballerinas disguised as prancing teddy bears, whirling bumblebees and leaping fairies.

The focus of most of these concerts is on the kids, who are at all stages of technical development. Some of the shows tend to be long, reflecting the popularity of these studio-schools, since students from all the classes perform in different dances, often in more than one.

Grandparents, friends and relatives come from far and wide to see the kids hoofing away. These fetes are always great outings for the children in the audience, who enjoy watching other kids perform. Many

directors work to make the recital into a cohesive dance event with concepts that tie the works together, along with company level pieces.

The first concert of the season, Brava!

Dances, May 18 at the Van Duzer, directed

by Virginia Niekrasz-Laurent of the Dancers Studio, will no doubt culminate in a piece she premiered at Dance Ink Day last month, Allegro Molto. It is performed to the first movement of Felix Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in E. Like a baseball team whose seniors all graduated, many Brava! company members have gone on to college, leaving Laurent working with many ballerinas in the acolyte stages. Three of her four principal dancers are accomplished teens, led by the experienced, enigmatic Carrie Maschmeier. When asked about her process of making dances, Laurent says she’s “basically inspired by the desire to combine different technique levels in a cohesive, contemporary work.”

She succeeded in this abstract, elegant dance, giving her nascent corps work that is doable, while pushing against the limits of their training — a wonder to behold.

The program also includes classical and contemporary pieces, and collaboration with the Redwood Chorus under director Kathe Lythe, and guests from the Dance Art Studio from Crescent City. (Brava! guests in that studio’s show June 2 and 3.)

Brava! Dances, Friday, May 18, at 7:30 p.m. HSU’s Van Duzer Theatre. Tickets $12, available at the door or at The Danc-

ers Studio in Eureka, 442-7770.

North Coast Dance’s spring school performance, Once Upon A Time, is designed to highlight all levels of the studio’ s program, from pre-ballet students to fullon ballerinas like Iris Van Atta and Beth Posten. Who doesn’t love fairy tales? NCD brings the classic characters to life. Artistic director Danny Furlong choreographed a series of mini-ballets to be accompanied by the live music: Snow White for the kids in the school and company members, and a teenagers’ Madhatter’s Tea Party, sure to be filled with the characteristic speed and wit of Furlong’s phrasing, along with Unicorns, a pointe piece for company apprentices that promises fantastical costumes. The faculty has composed more fairy tale dances for the littlest Red Riding Hoods and Miss Muppet’s, on up to Nancy Call’s Ballet 4 students who will dance variations from Sleeping Beauty.

Once Upon A Time, at the North Coast Dance Studio, 426 F St., Eureka, Friday, May 18, at 7 p.m. Saturday, May 19, at 2 and 5 p.m., and Sunday, May 20 at 1 and 4 p.m. One night only at the Arkley Center for the Performing Arts in Eureka, Wednesday, May 23, at 7 p.m. Tickets $12, 12 and under, $10. 442-7779 www.northcoastdance.org.

New World Ballet, directed by Victor Temple with Nadine Cole, is leaving for Santa Rosa. Cole, who studied with the iconic New York City ballet director, George Balanchine, opened the studio in 1994, handing over artistic directorship to Temple in 2005. Dance Theater of Harlem and Oakland Ballet alum Temple brought much to the local landscape, not only with the guest artists he invited from the professional ballet worlds of the Bay Area, New York City and Richmond, Va., but with his deep connections to the international African dance and drumming community. Temple will be remembered for giving us our own Humboldt Cinderella, replete with Uggs, tie-dye and a stoner Prince Charming, along with coming out of retirement at 40 to dance a stunning grand pas de duex with a prima from Oakland ballet as the Sugar Plum fairy.

Historic. See NWB’s swan song to Arcata, a concert in its studio in the old Creamery Building, 824 L St., Arcata, Saturday, May 19, at 7 p.m., Arcata, 822-4947, info@ humboldtdance.org. You may want to get there early; the performance is a parting gift, free admission.

Always a treat, Trillium Dance Studios (formerly Dance Class with Erin Fernandez) has its springtime show June 9 and 10 at the Van Duzer. The kids adore Erin McKeever and love to be onstage in this yearly extravaganza. With a cast of over 200, “Dances of the Redwood Forest” is a

mix of ballet, modern and Latin dance in front of a redwoods scene painted by Rachel Robinson. McKeever has developed a knack for working with a theme, which is not only meaningful to the kids, who proudly bubble over about their parts, but for the audience, who have a sense of coherence while experiencing a barrage of dances. The redwood forest theme is ripe with possibilities. Look for skunks, raccoons, otters, red tailed hawks, egrets, trillium flowers, berries, a salmon run dance with a mountain lion, and deer on pointe.

The studio boasts a cadre of strong on technique, 20-something teachers who perform as Trillium Dance Ensemble. And any day you get to see McKeever dance is a good day; long-limbed and lithe-footed, she performs a barefoot solo as a great blue heron. Ahh …

Trillium Studios presents Dances of the Redwood Forest, Saturday June 9 at 2 and 6 p.m. and Sunday, June 10, at 2 p.m. at Van Duzer Theatre. Tickets at the door.

The Studio of Dance Arts, directed

by Jane Morgan, presents A Night on Broadway and Spring Dance Recital, a dance production in two acts. Act one showcases jazz, modern and tap dances choreographed to popular Broadway musical numbers, like Stephanie Carter’s re-staging of the gutsy “Cellblock Tango” from Chicago. The second act covers an array of styles including contemporary ballet, modern, Middle Eastern and the troupe’s award-winning Irish step dancing. Tuesday, June 19, 7 p.m. at the Arkley Center for Performing Arts. Tickets are $15, at the door and at the box office, 412 G St., Eureka. 442-1956, www.arkleycenter. com.

The Ferndale Dance Academy’s original production, Cinderella Liberty, written by Michael and Laura East and narrated by Kevin Sharkey, follows three Navy gals on a 12-hour shore leave in New York City. As the girls romp around the Big Apple seeing the sights, Times Square, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Fifth Avenue, Lincoln Center, Coney Island, they encounter a mix of styles from ballet and jazz to hip-hop and tap, danced to Mozart, Gershwin and classic American standards. Choreographed

by FDA director Laura East with Kelly Wortman, this is an all-school affair with performers aged 3 through adult. Gershwin and tap — what could be finer?

The Ferndale Dance Academy in Cinderella Liberty runs June 22 and 23 at 7 p.m. at the Arkley Center. Admission $15, 12 and under $12, kids 3 and under $8.

Tickets through the Arkley box office or at the door. Information at 496-0805 or www.ferndaledance.com. l

The Cornerstone It was a grand occasion commemorating the start of a grand project. On Saturday, Nov. 26, 1904, a cornerstone was laid near the southwest corner of Third and G streets for a new Eureka City Hall. The twostory Italian Renaissance-style building, to be built on the site of the old Pioneer School after a vote to levy a tax to pay for construction, was designed by San Francisco architect Joseph W. Rowell. It would house all the city offices along with the police and fire departments, with a jail in the basement. It would be “a building which will stand for years to come as a monument of the awakening of civic pride in Eureka,” noted The Daily Humboldt Standard.

The newspaper reported that the ceremonial placement of the cornerstone was done as a rite of the Masonic order, with Grand Master G. W. Hunter, up from San Francisco for the occasion, assisted by the Grand officers pro tem of the Grand Lodge of California and Humboldt Chapter of Masons.

As the ceremony began, the block of Madera County granite — 30 inches square and 9½ inches thick, inscribed “A.D., 1904” — was suspended in mid-air with block and tackle decorated with small American flags. After a prayer and a song by a choir, Eureka’s mayor turned things over to the Masons.

Dressed in full regalia adorned with gold, Grand Master Hunter gave a stirring speech praising the choice of location for the building on an old school site. He went on to say, “The government of cities is one of the great problems of the age. In many places there is graft and corruption, but here in Eureka, I’m glad to say the city’s affairs have been honestly administered and the officials have used their best judgment on all occasions. For this beautiful edifice we must thank the Council and the newspapers and commend the wisdom of the people in voting

money for it.”

After heaping on further praise for the city’s lack of crime (thanks to the many fraternal organizations) and noting that “San Francisco papers no longer locate Eureka somewhere in Oregon,” he placed the stone and anointed it with wheat, oil and wine poured from silver ceremonial vases.

Finished about a year later, the city hall was used from 1906 until 1954, when an earthquake rendered much of it unsafe. In 1960 the building was demolished. A parking lot took its place. However, at the insistence of the Masons, the cornerstone was saved, housed in the collection of the Clarke Historical Museum.

Now, through a partnership among the City of Eureka, Eureka Main Street and the Eureka Heritage Society, with assistance from the Clarke, Humboldt Masonic Lodge No. 79, and contractor Bill Lenhoff of Cornerstone Construction, the cornerstone will be placed once again, not far from where it stood for 56 years. It will serve as the base for a monument carrying a plaque commemorating the old Eureka City Hall building.

The public is invited to attend the ceremonial rededication at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 19, at the corner of Third and G. Once again, ceremonies will be conducted by the Grand Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons of California. This time Most Worshipful Frank Loui, Grand Master, will preside.

Which brings us back to our endorsement. Not only is Johnny BerryPicker a kindhearted, sweetheart of a man — he was the Jacoby Storehouse Santa last year, for crissakes — he’s got the experience to effectively lead the Kinetic Nation. Last year, Johnny BerryPicker was crowned the Rutabaga Princess — in other words, the runner-up who will pick up the slack if the official Rutabaga Queen, I dunno, dies

or joins the Merchant Marines or something. Now, BerryPicker is, oh, let’s say a full-figured gentleman.

And we think that maybe — with all due respect to Queen G-Ma — had he been a tad more daring with his choice of “bay crossing” attire, he could have brought home that crown.

This is not to say there are not other worthy Queen candidates, but that said, 2012 has “Year of the Picker” written all over it. We’re picking Johnny (and maybe a speedo) to win it.

Paging Mr. Scissorhands In their eighth collaboration, Burton and Depp have lost their magic

By John J. Bennett filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Johnny depp in dark shadows

Reviews

DARK SHADOWS. I walked into this movie with my guard down and my hopes up. Bad move. Whether it was due to my recent good fortune at the theater or my nostalgia for Tim Burton’s early movies — which I love dearly — I ignored the fact that his more recent work has consistently let us all down. Dark Shadows is no exception.

Drawn from a late ’60s daytime soap about which I know nothing, Shadows tells the story of Barnabas Collins (Johnny Depp in pancake makeup, phoning it in).

He’s the scion of an extremely wealthy 18th century Maine fishing family. As a youth, he makes the mistake of spurning the advances of a witch (Eva Green), who turns him into a vampire, then locks him in a buried coffin for around 200 years.

In 1972 he is accidentally unearthed, kills some workmen and hippies, then tries to rebuild the fortune of his now threadbare empire. But the aforementioned witch is still around to complicate matters, so things don’t go especially well.

Radical Dystopian Documentaries 6 p.m. - 10 p.m. All ages Free

As with any Burton production, the costuming and design are dramatic and imaginative. The atmosphere of an early ’70s Maine fishing village is gloriously detailed, and the soundtrack includes some classic jams. But Burton has lost the visual magic and big-hearted storytelling that were once his trademarks. He assembles an excellent cast, as usual, but doesn’t give them much to work with.

Great actors like Jackie Earle Haley, Helena Bonham Carter and Chloe Grace Moretz are forced to do what they can with thin, uninspired characters.

The trouble lies with the script, which takes potentially delicious guilty pleasures — vampires and witches and crumbling empires — and manages to make them really boring. The first two-thirds of the movie drag on seemingly interminably; then the ending is a rushed cacophony of ridiculous twists haphazardly thrown together.

Dark Shadows might have been great fun, if somebody with less money and more inspiration (like, say, Tim Burton 20 years ago) had scaled it down and focused on telling the story. Instead it is lifeless, a little mean-spirited, and unnecessary.

Fortunately, I was able to salvage the weekend with The Cabin in the Woods, which you should make every effort to see (if you haven’t already) — assuming you like movies that are smart, scary, hilarious, gory and entertaining throughout.

If not, well, see Dark Shadows. PG13. 113m.

BATTLESHIP. Yes, it has really come to this: a would-be blockbuster “inspired by” that old Milton Bradley guessing game with the little plastic ships. Director Peter Berg invites big, loud aliens into the naval warfare. (Let’s hope they don’t guess “B7.”)

PG13. 131m.

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU’RE EXPECTING. Five interconnected couples have a bunch of babies, violate parental taboos to comedic effect and ultimately discover universal truths. Or something.

With Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, Chris Rock and some real-life infants. PG13.

110m.

If you’re not feeling the frothy summer escapism vibe, check out Future Shorts, a showcase of short films with large ambitions. The traveling festival aims to create “another way of experiencing film” and to “change the way we look at the world.”

That’s asking a lot, which is pretty damned refreshing these days. The six shorts include such eclectic fare as a claymation erotic comedy, a documentary on 1970s wife-swapping and a tragicomic Spike Jonze film animated with hand-cut pieces of felt. The festival plays Friday at 8 p.m. at the Arcata Theatre Lounge and is your Journal pick o’ the week.

Quentin Tarantino’s gut-punch debut, Reservoir Dogs (1992), plays the following night at 8 at the ATL. Sunday’s family feature is The Indian in the Cupboard (1995).

And next Wednesday, Pint and Pizza Night abandons its usual Sci-Fi theme to feature a pair of “radical, dystopian documentaries.” B.I.K.E. (2005) depicts the Brooklyn chapter of the Black Label Bike Club, a fringe network of tall-bike jousters who espouse environmental and anti-consumerist rhetoric. END: CIV sounds the alarm

bells of economic chaos, peak oil, climate change and political turmoil. A raffle will benefit Food Not Bombs. 6-10 p.m.

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 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. John Cusack stars as Gothic author Edgar Allen Poe, who must help stop a serial killer imitating Poe’s own stories. R. 111m.

THINK LIKE A MAN. Adapted from a self-help book, this amiable-if-trite romcom at least offers a charming cast. PG13.

Please submit your copy by 5pm THURSDAY, MAY 24th for the May 31st issue.

s we count down to Sunday’s annular eclipse — coming to a clear sky near you, we trust — herewith some eclipse bits and pieces: • The word “eclipse” comes from the Greek ekleipsis, meaning “omission” or “failure,” that is, something gone wrong.

It’s cognate with “ellipse” and with “ellipsis,” those quaint periods … found in novels where something (usually racy) is omitted.

• The moon’s orbit is tilted about five degrees with respect to the ecliptic, the plane of Earth’s orbit around the sun. If it were in the same plane, we’d experience a lunar eclipse every full moon and either a total or annular solar eclipse every new moon.

• In a lifetime of “three score years and ten,” a person living in the same location could expect to see about 50 lunar eclipses — half being total — and 30 partial solar eclipses. However, that person would only have a 20 percent chance of seeing a total solar eclipse.

• The longest possible duration of a total solar eclipse is 7 minutes 40 seconds, while the maximum total lunar eclipse lasts 1 hour 44 minutes.

• People have been noting eclipses for a long time. Writing in the second century CE, the Greek astronomer Ptolemy discusses Babylonian eclipse records going back to 747 B.C. • According to Herodotus, Thales of Miletus predicted the eclipse of May 28, 585 BCE. He probably did so using the “saros” cycle discovered by the Babylonians, a mathematical coincidence that results in approximately the same configuration of

sun, moon and Earth every 18 years 11 days 8 hours (ignoring leap years).

• That 585 BCE eclipse gives us the first definitive date for a historical event, in this case, the end of a war. The Lydians and Medes were in the middle of a battle when (again according to Herodotus) “… the day was suddenly turned to night … so they ceased from fighting, and both parties were the more zealous to make peace.”

• The ancient Chinese attributed the fortunes of the emperor and his family to eclipses. The Han Dynasty record for the total solar eclipse of Jan. 18, 120 CE includes the commentary, “Teng, the Empress Dowager, showed aversion to it. Two years and three months later, she died.”

• The length of the day is increasing by nearly two milliseconds per century, mainly due to the braking effect of tides (Field Notes, Jan. 6, 2011). Ancient eclipse records help astronomers calculate how fast Earth is slowing, because if the length of the day were constant, you would have had to be 2,500 miles west of Babylon to see the total solar eclipse of April 15, 136 BCE. But according to a clay tablet from Babylon, now in the British Museum, “24 us (96 minutes) after sunrise, a solar eclipse obscured the sun on the southwest side … Venus and Mercury were visible.” That 2,500 miles “lost” over 21 centuries gives the average rate of slowing. l As Barry Evans’ (barryevans9@yahoo. com) emerged many years ago from the Imam Reza mosque in Mashad, Iran (one of the three holiest Shia shrines), the moon had magically turned to copper: a total lunar eclipse.

ASSESSOR’S PARCEL NO. 016-081-028 NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be 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 informa-

tion 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 707-443-0837 for information regarding the trustee’s sale and inquire as to the status of the foreclosure using the T.S. number assigned to this foreclosure shown on the first page of this notice. 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. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

The unpaid balance and estimate of costs, expenses and advances as of May 2, 2012 is $222,942.37; said amount will increase until date of sale. The street address or other common designation, if any, of the real property described herein is purported to be: 3842 Glenwood St., Eureka, CA.

He lives McKinleyville, attends Humboldt State University and his major is Environmental Resources Engineering. He will be a senior when classes begin again. Alisha, Shaffer’s girlfriend is majoring in elementary education. Shaffer is an active guy. He works at Murphy’s, plays tennis, singles mostly, and likes to make electronic music.

He plays guitar, too, when he is at home, and his cat, with the very unusual name of Story, seems to think all of that is just fine.”
