Don’t Trivialize Trains

Editor: Beginning with the article’s title, “Choochoo Fantasies” (May 24), Ryan Burns seeks to trivialize the concept of an east-west railroad by ridiculing its potential supporters. This approach mirrors one used by our county’s troglodytes (cave dwellers) to any proposal that might increase economic activity and prosperity. Another is to swamp it with “practical” objections. He does plenty of this, too. Burns would have readers believe that those who have been discussing the eastwest railroad are a small band of aging history buffs in love with a “fantasy.” Far from it. Instead, they are a growing number of business and professional people and civic activists who understand that if an economy is not growing modestly and steadily, it is shrinking. There is no way to keep it static, like a fly in amber. The group that thinks the east-west railroad may hold promise first wants a serious study of the route’s feasibility. Modern day grade and curve standards must be taken into consideration, as must right-of-way ownership and environmental matters. And, of course, one can’t build a railroad if no one comes. One or more inbound shippers will be needed under contract, as will an interested shipping line. The group discussing the project is fully aware of these matters. Mr. Burns would do well to meet with his publisher Judy Hodgson on this topic.

In a 1990 article in the North Coast Journal, she wrote that in 1890 a committee of Red Bluff and Eureka citizens was formed to discuss such an idea. “A century later, it may be an idea whose time has come,” she wrote. She also spelled out potential advantages of such a route: “It is shorter — 125-140 miles vs. 250 to Oakland. … The terrain is more stable. It crosses no rivers and requires no tunnels.” In the early 20th century the northsouth route won out, partly for thencurrent economic reasons and partly for political reasons. Times have changed, but the characteristics of an east-west route that Hodgson wrote about are still there. It is time to seriously consider if it could be made a reality. William F. Barnum, Eureka Editor: I enjoy a good pipe dream as much as these railroad guys. Sure, the 2 billion bucks could be better spent on education or health care for all. But a cool train! Until I heard of the evil, environment-killing plan to use it to haul coal toward Asia. No Way! Dave Ellis, Cutten

No, Burstiner was all bent by HSU censorship of a penis sculpture (“Expression is Freedom,” May 5, 2011). Not a fucking word about torture censorship. I think it’s fair to say your practices are dishonest. Or maybe it’s enough to say “middle class,” therefore rather insecure and not particularly insightful. Fits your publisher well, I believe. “Our Republic and its press will rise or fall together.” Your policy of protecting the Times-Standard fits right in with the general direction of things, doesn’t it.

TOBACCO-FREE HUMBOLDT

Free Speech Now! (And Eat at McDonald’s)

n the movie Norma Rae, Sally Field plays a textile worker who tries to organize a union at her mill. In the movie’s climax, thugs try to throw her out of the factory. She scribbles the word “union,” climbs up on a table and holds it up. For a moment everyone in the factory stares at her. Then, one by one, the workers shut off their machines. These days it seems that people who try to fight a good fight get that kind of support only in the movies. On May 24, Fortuna resident Janelle Egger filed suit against the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors challenging the constitutionality of Urgency Ordinance 2477, which bans camping, animals and defecation outside the courthouse and also bans the hanging of signs. In my April 5 column, I questioned the constitutionality of a law in which the only new prohibition was the hanging of signs and the gathering for peaceful protest. Existing laws covered all other activities the ordinance specified. Police arrested Egger April 7 in front of the courthouse as she participated in a candlelight vigil held to support free speech. This is a woman who sued the city of Fortuna in 2009 under the California Public Records Act because it had refused to turn over documents about a proposal for a new water tank. The courts agreed with her on that one and ordered the city to pay for her attorney fees. This time, she filed her 24-page brief, with another 48 pages of exhibits, in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. She doesn’t have a lawyer; she’s doing it herself. This is one of two ongoing First Amendment suits involving local laws. This month, Superior Court Judge Dale Reinholtsen will rule on the constitutionality of an Arcata ordinance passed to curb aggressive panhandling. Attorney Peter Martin filed that suit on behalf of Arcata resident Richard Salzman. The Arcata law has multiple parts. Part A specifically bans aggressive panhandling. But parts B through G ban all panhandling in specific areas, such as near ATM machines or supermarket entrances. If aggressive panhandling is the problem, why

not stop with A? Why include the rest? This is what I find most troubling: The ease with which local governments pass speech infringement laws, how little effort they spend trying to keep them as narrow as possible and how few people these laws seem to bother. Perhaps more troubling is that certain types of speech seem to be more vulnerable to government infringement than others. In this paper in March, Editor Carrie Peyton Dahlberg wrote about how difficult it is to ban ugly billboards that line our highway. In 2008, a federal appeals court upheld a ban on electronic billboards only if it were content-neutral — a community would have to ban all electronic billboards. In 1984, the U.S. Supreme Court approved an anti-sign law in Los Angeles, but that’s because it banned all signs on utility poles. Back in 1981, the Supreme Court rejected a San Diego law banning billboards that created exceptions for specific categories of speech, such as political campaign signs and religious signs. “With respect to noncommercial speech, the city may not choose the appropriate subjects for public discourse,” the court said in Metromedia, Inc. v. City of San Diego. Because the court has insisted on blanket bans, local governments think twice about passing these laws. Commercial signs produce money. In 2010, in its infamous Citizens United decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that Congress can’t limit the money an organization or even a corporation spends on donations to committees not directly affiliated with a political candidate, because that would prevent these committees from buying television time or creating expensive brochures or commercials. That would abridge their freedom of speech. Here is the pattern I see. L.A. could ban ALL signs on utility poles. But what corporations advertise on utility poles? Few communities act to ban all electronic signs or billboards, because they generate money. If you or your kid or a homeless guy on the street, holds up a cardboard sign, it generates no

money. The handwritten signs tacked onto the courthouse fence generate no permit fees. The Supreme Court ruled in Citizens United that the government can’t limit the money used to create documentaries or buy air time. Twice this year I explained how paid speech has more power than “free” speech. Now I see that speech you buy is more protected than speech that is free. It is as if the First Amendment now says: Congress shall make no law abridging the payment for speech or press. Thank goodness that in this community we have troublemakers like Eggers and Salzman who take it upon themselves to fight for the free speech rights we all share. We’ll see which way the courts swing on these issues. But for their efforts, Egger and Salzman seem to get more grief than support in the communities where they live. Maybe we are all just too inundated with advertising these days. I find ads in paperback books I pick up at the book shop, on the back of my grocery store receipts, on the back of a T-shirt I must stare at when on line for some event. So we find offensive handwritten signs that don’t try to push products on us, that simply assert someone’s rights as a citizen or that ask for money because someone is hungry and doesn’t have a roof over his head. Here is an idea. Homeless people should trade signs. Instead of standing on a corner and asking for money for themselves or their family, they can ask for money for a guy on the next corner. He in turn would advertise the plight of the next guy and so on. That way they aren’t panhandling. They are advertising. And that is something governments and the courts seem to protect. And Janelle, get yourself a corporate sponsor. Maybe Pepsi Free?

Debris Watch

Surveyors walk the beaches looking for things swept to sea last year by the Japan tsunami By Heidi Walters

heidiwalters@northcoastjournal.com

n the parking lot by the Redwood Gun Club, on the Samoa Peninsula near Manila, we smeared bug repellant on as fast as we could. The mosquitoes, swarming, bit anyway. Grabbing her clipboard, GPS, camera and measuring wheel — all, along with the bug repellant and sunscreen, courtesy of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) — Jennifer Savage turned and walked into the dune forest, moving fast. Her friend and fellow involved-in-all-things-ocean assistant for the day, wildlife biologist M.J. Mazurek, and I followed. (Disclosure: Savage is my friend and also has been a Journal contributor.) We took a winding, pretty trail through beach pines and sitka spruce, their feet draped in a lush, sun-speckled undulation of fern and salal, twin berry and huckleberry. The trail spilled us onto a steep slope of wavy sand dune, overlooking stabilized dune forest and active dunes. This is the Ma-l’el Dunes unit of the Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge Complex, one of the most human-impactfree stretches of coastline in our region. Here, instead of a sea of invasive European

beach grass, fat blades of native dune grass spring from the sea-facing slopes of sand. Somewhere down there, along the semi-remote shoreline, Savage, who works for the Ocean Conservancy, was about to set up a survey plot. Over the next two years she’ll return to the plot once a month at low tide with a team of volunteers to record marine debris — keeping a particular eye out for anything that might have been generated by the tsunami that devoured the north-east coast of Japan in March 2011. Yes, we know, many of you are freaked/ excited about the prospect of stuff washing ashore from that tragic event. Will it be radioactive? Will it be unbearably terrible and sad — will we see some of those 100 “sneakers with bones in them” that oceanographer Curt Ebbesmeyer just two weeks ago told an audience in Port Angeles, Wash., to expect? Maybe we’ll find a soccer ball — like the one that washed up on Middleton Island, in Alaska, and was traced back to a boy who lived in the tsunami zone. Or another HarleyDavidson — like the one registered to Ikuo Yokoyama, who lost his home and

several relatives in the tsunami. It washed ashore in British Columbia, in its styrofoam storage container. Perhaps a ghost vessel — like the fishing boat, registered in the Fukushima Prefecture, found off the coast of British Columbia and, later, sunk so it wouldn’t be a floating hazard. It’s hard to say what might wash up on our shores from the tsunami, NOAA marine debris specialist Sherry Lippiatt told me by phone the day before I joined Savage in the field. NOAA has been modeling past wind and ocean current patterns since the March 11, 2011, event to develop an idea of how the tsunami marine debris might be traveling across the ocean. According to the model, increasing amounts of debris might start washing up on West Coast shores in 2013. But the model can only suggest possible scenarios, because nobody can predict future wind and ocean current patterns. In addition, when stuff does wash ashore, it’s not easy to determine whether it was tsunami-generated, Lippiatt said, “because debris from Asia washes up all the time.” Lippiatt’s colleague, Dianna Parker, added that the Japanese government estimates that the tsunami washed 5 million tons of debris into the ocean, and that 70 percent of that immediately sank. “That left about 1.5 million tons floating,” Parker said. “So that was more than a year ago, and this debris has been at the mercy of storms and weathering, and it sinks and breaks apart. And, then, our models show that the area where debris may have dispersed is roughly equal to three times the size of the lower 48 states. So, while a lot of people are obviously concerned about this issue — we’re concerned, and we want to make sure that we’re ready for any scenario — there is not this big mass of debris headed for the U.S.” It’s doubtful it will be radioactive, because it was swept far out to sea before the Fukushima nuclear power plant released radioactive water, the NOAA debris-trackers said. But, said Lippiatt, beachgoers and shoreline debris surveyors should be cautious about handling certain debris, such as sharp things, or sealed casks or oil drums that might leak. The shoreline surveys will establish baseline data, showing what’s already washing ashore. They also might detect whether more stuff is washing up posttsunami, and perhaps reveal more about how debris traveled after that event. The growing excitement over tsunami debris, Lippiatt said, has increased public awareness about trash in the ocean and on beaches. So for NOAA, it seemed an opportune time for a new study, with a tsunami twist, to complement myriad

other marine debris studies on and off shore. The data might help agencies plan their emergency responses to marine dumps from natural disasters. It also might shed light on the effectiveness of efforts to control everyday sources of marine debris — the garbage that you and I are responsible for letting get into the ocean. At some monitoring sites, surveyors will record and pick up the trash they find each time, developing data on the rate of deposition of debris — how much washes ashore over time. At other sites, surveyors will record the amount and types of debris — glass, metal, rubber, plastic and so on — but leave the debris in place. This data will show the density of debris on a particular site — the “standing stock,” as it were. Savage’s team will be doing the standing stock survey at the plot near Ma-l’el Dunes. The site is ideal — remote enough to reduce the occurrence of trash generated by beachgoers or town, but not so remote that it takes too long for volunteers to get to. And, there are no organized beach cleanups there — which would skew the data. Standing on the waveslope last week, Savage looked at the GPS that NOAA sent her, noted the location in her notebook, then looped the end of the measuring wheel tape onto several long flagged pins and jabbed them into the sand. Walking north backwards, she unreeled the tape. At 100 meters she stopped and jabbed in more pins. After a brief dash barefooted into the ocean, Savage and Mazurek walked up and down the slope along the plot line, eyes scanning. Dried bull kelp. Dead bird. Driftwood. Broken crab and clam shells. Rocks. A perfect sand dollar. There, up on the dunes: a big, clear blue plastic water jug nestled amid some native dune grass. Savage began running to retrieve it before she remembered: This survey required leaving trash in its place. “It’s so hard to leave it!” she said. In the end, the bottle was all they found that day. It had no markings on it; no way to tell if it came from Japan. The next survey is scheduled for some time next month, and Savage is looking for volunteers. Email her at jsavage@ oceanconservancy.org. And if you’re interested in learning about what’s still out there in the ocean, you can follow Ocean Conservancy conservation biologist and marine debris specialist Nick Mallos on Twitter (@NickMallos). Mallos is part of the Algalita/5 Gyres Japan Tsunami Debris Expedition, which sets sail from Japan this week aboard the Sea Dragon in search of tsunami debris. (See more on our blog.) l

Blog Jammin’ POLITICS / BY RYAN BURNS / TODAY, 5:39 P.M.

Picking a Bohn Today, the Journal was made aware of numerous mailers that have reportedly been sent over the past week to residents of Humboldt County’s 1st District. All the mailers claim to have been paid for, at least in part, by Rex Bohn’s campaign for a seat on the Board of Supervisors. Taken together, they offer decidedly mixed messages, allying Bohn with both major political parties and both sides on two propositions. One sent under a banner reading “The team for Democratic voters” includes quotes from Democratic Party heroes like John F. Kennedy and recommends voting for the full Democratic ticket: Barack Obama, Dianne Feinstein, Jared Huffman and Wes Chesbro. Also, Rex Bohn. According to the fine print, the mailer was paid for and authorized by Bohn’s campaign and the “Yes on 29” campaign. This apparent Democratic support might come as a surprise to many, considering Bohn was registered Republican until June of last year — the same month he announced his candidacy for 1st District Supervisor. He changed his registration to Independent. Yet, according to another mailer, “Republicans for Rex,” his former party members aren’t holding it against him. Yet another mailer, this one from “Election Digest,” recommends voting for Barack Obama for president, Dianne Feinstein for U.S. Senate and, yes, Rex Bohn for Humboldt County Supervisor. Bohn reportedly split the cost of this mailer with the campaigns for “Yes on 28” and “No on 29.” That’s right, “No” on 29 — the opposite position of the “Democratic Team” mailer above. The true-blue Democrat mailer says, “The American Cancer Society wrote Prop 29 to fund life-saving cancer research in California.” The mailer above says it has “too many flaws.” Does “Yes on 29” know Bohn is associating with “No on 29?” At least he’s consistent on Prop. 28, right? Um … wrong. A “Budget Watchdogs” flier, which claims to have been paid for by Bohn, Daniel Roberts (a Republican candidate for U.S. Congress), and others, calls Prop 28 a “SCAM,” in all caps. Yet the Election Digest mailer says Prop 28 “will make Legislature more effective and accountable.” To sum up: In the last week, Bohn has appeared on mailers supporting both Democrats and Republicans, both “Yes on 28” and “No on 28,” and both “Yes on 29” and “No on 29.” And according to the mailers themselves, he has paid to share space with each and every one of these positions. We called Bohn earlier today after seeing one of the mailers over at the Humboldt Herald blog. He claimed not to know what the Humboldt Herald is and said he couldn’t

comment on the mailer because he hadn’t seen it. We offered to email him a link to the image. He said to send it to his campaign email address but warned he wouldn’t be able to look at it until “after 4:30 or 5 because I’m at work.” We offered to send it to a work email. “I don’t use it,” he said. Then, “It’s for work only.” He again said he couldn’t comment on the mailer because he couldn’t see it. Then he said, “I’m leaving here about 4 and I’m gonna go walk until about 5:30, 6 or 6:30.” We offered to send him a link while on the phone. “Well I don’t work — pretty much — in an office. I’m out in the field mainly. I’m actually out in the yard on a piece of equipment right now.” We offered to describe the mailer to him and then did so, mentioning the full slate of Democratic endorsements with his name in the middle of the flier. We read the phrase beneath his name: “Rex Bohn the Best Call! For ensuring jobs, public safety and preservation of the beautiful north coast environment.” “Hmm, good statement,” Bohn said. But he still didn’t know whether or not the mailer came from his campaign, as it clearly stated. “I can’t say if it’s mine or not. I don’t know.” After learning of the other mailers, we sent Bohn an email and left two messages on his cell phone. We’ll update this post with his response, once we hear back.

— up ’til now, scientists have modeled the likely path of the debris based on past wind and ocean current patterns. The Algalita/5 Gyres Japan Tsunami Debris Expedition leaves Thursday, weather permitting (it was set to leave Japan on June 2, June 1 here in North America but was delayed by a storm). On board is Nick Mallos, a conservation biologist and marine debris specialist with the Ocean Conservancy. Mallos, whom the Journal interviewed by email last week, is a member of the Ocean Conservancy’s Trash Free Seas program. He has already spent considerable time examining garbage patches in the ocean, as well as on land helping sort through the tragic mess left behind by the tsunami. In this latest expedition, Mallos and crew hope to get a clearer idea of where the debris is and how it is dispersed. Mallos is blogging about the expedition for National Geographic. And you can follow him on Twitter (@NickMallos). The models predict that the tsunami debris is spread over an area 2,000 miles long and 1,000 miles wide. Most of it won’t come ashore, Mallos said. “One of the biggest issues is what’s going to stay in the ocean. Scientists have estimated that 95 percent or more of the tsunami debris that is in the ocean will stay there. The debris is joining the trash that’s already in our ocean, which is hazardous to both wildlife and ecosystems, as well as the economies that rely on clean, touristfriendly beaches.” And while the tsunami debris was unpreventable — the result of a natural disaster — all of that other garbage is preventable. Eliminate that stuff, Mallos says, and the ocean will be more resilient and able to handle the unpreventable stuff. ● CURIOSITIES, POLITICS / BY ZACH ST. GEORGE / JUNE 1, 10:03 A.M.

Andy Caffrey Must Be High 1. His latest campaign ad shows him smoking marijuana. (The bong burbling sound at the end is a nice touch.) 2. On his Facebook page — the same place where he predicted earning 16 percent of the vote next Tuesday — he said this about the ad: “There is no way President Obama is not going to be asked about it on camera and there is no way he will not be able to smile while answering!” Dude, Andy. Have you ever dipped Cheez-Its in ranch dressing? Uh-MAZE-ing!

June 10 “Welcome and Evening Preview Night.” No? Well how do free, reusable shopping bags grab you? That’s right: The first 300 customers on Saturday, June 16 get ’em! You read that right! Maybe you’ll be enticed by the presence of Eureka Mayor Frank Jager, Chamber of Commerce President J Warren Hockaday and Market Manager Chad Smith! Still not convinced? Two words: Cupcake walk! The Wal-Mart tent will be set up on Saturday, June 16, featuring said walk, along with samples of smoothies and hot dogs, a “Prize Cube” for gift cards, an electronics department game tournament and Kellogg’s face painting (whatever that means). Our dark days are coming to an end, North Coast. Let’s party!

New Lower Prices

Holy crap! Wal-Mart may have been coy about moving into the Bayshore Mall, but its grand opening is gonna be off the chain! Get ready for a week-long explosion of orgiastic consumer pageantry the likes of which Eureka has never seen. According to an apparently genuine invitation sent to the Journal and other local media outlets, the festivities will include dancing mascots, local luminaries and supplications before our nation’s most revered non-corporate authorities — God, the military and Old Glory. On Sunday, June 10, and again on Wednesday, June 13, Hydesville Community Church Associate Pastor Jeff Beltz will perform an invocation. Because the Lord loves low prices. Always. Also on the 13th, Eureka High School’s Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps will conduct a color guard flag ceremony; Wal-Mart grunts associates will sing “The Star Spangled Banner”; and corporate mascots including Chester Cheetah, Bimbo Bear and whatever Pepsi’s mascot is will dance to “Let’s Get It Started” by the Black Eyed Peas. Still not excited? Well how about some Native American flute variations? A WalMart employee has that covered for the

COURTS, CRIME, ETHICS / BY RYAN BURNS / MAY 31, 10:25 A.M.

Lawsuit Challenges Conditions at Pelican Bay Today, a group of California legal and advocacy groups including the Center for Constitutional Rights filed a federal class action lawsuit on behalf of prisoners at Pelican Bay State Prison. The suit alleges that prolonged confinement in so-called secure housing units (known as “the SHU,” pictured above) amounts to torture, and that, in denying SHU inmates meaningful review for placement in the SHU, the government is violating their right to due process. Last year, SHU inmates at Pelican Bay launched a hunger strike to protest their extreme confinement, which keeps them locked inside tiny cells for 23 hours or more per day. Some prisoners have been housed in these conditions for more than 20 years. The hunger strike eventually spread to thousands of inmates in prisons around the state and beyond. (See the Journal’s Sep. 29, 2011, cover story, “Caged.”) The full complaint, which can be found from a link on our website, alleges that “California’s uniquely harsh regime of prolonged solitary confinement at Pelican Bay is inhumane and debilitating.” The conditions have predictably caused psychological deterioration, the complaint continues. ●

Analog Youth to Digital Adult to Quantum Old Geezer By Barry Evans

he future isn’t what it used to be. —Yogi Berra, maybe

I’m about three years older than ENIAC, the first general-purpose electronic computer. ENIAC, which stands for Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer, was a “Turing-complete” digital computer, that is, capable of being reprogrammed to solve virtually any numerical problem. ENIAC, which weighed nearly 30 tons and took up the space of a house, needed 150 kilowatts of electricity to run, and contained 17,468 vacuum tubes, 7,200 crystal diodes, 1,500 relays, 70,000 resistors, 10,000 capacitors and millions of hand-soldered joints. Built in 1945, it performed at a speed of 18 calculations per second and cost about $6 million in today’s dollars. I’m writing this column at Old Town Coffee & Chocolates on my iPad2, cost today: $399. Weighs 36 ounces, with Bluetooth keyboard and cover; smaller than a magazine; battery lasts forever, to a first degree of approximation. Speed: 1.7 billion calculations per second. I suppose every age looks back at a previous one and remarks on how far it’s come. Phoenician scribes probably scoffed at old-fashioned cuneiform writing. The architects of the first Gothic cathedral might have scorned the builders of those squat Norman piles of stone. I bet John Dunlop, bouncing along Belfast’s cobbled streets on the new pneumatic tires he’d just invented, pitied bicycle riders of his dad’s generation. But I do believe that the shift in my own lifetime from ENIAC to iPad, from analog to digital, from two-week international aerograms

to IM, represents more than a gradual, routine evolution of technology from one generation to the next. Hackneyed as it is, the phrase “quantum leap” really means something today. Change, for better or worse, is spiraling way beyond my ken. Take knowledge in broad, raw terms. Used to be, one person could be the repository of a fair summary of the world’s knowledge. Leonardo da Vinci was the original “Renaissance man,” although the same polymath sentiment might be applied to Aristotle, Francis Bacon, Thomas Jefferson, Johann von Goethe, “our” Alexander von Humboldt and H.G. Wells. No longer: too much knowledge, too many areas of speciality, too small brains. (Google processes 10 times the 2.5 petabyte — that’s 2.5 times 10 to the 15th power — memory capacity of the human brain every day!) What’s a sane reaction? Shock and awe? Humility? Fear? Another glass of Great White microbrew? My own response to the threat of data overload — coupled with exponentially increasing processing power — is to surrender some of my need to know. Instead, I find myself simply enjoying the questions, of which there are plenty. According to the late “grand old man” of American physics, Princeton professor John Archibald Wheeler, just three problems will keep us happily occupied for the next 500 years: the universe, consciousness and quantum theory. I’d settle for simply (!) posing the right question on just one of these.l Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo. com) doesn’t even know if he’s passing through time or if time is passing him by.

ou are at the grocery store and a bottle with a brightly colored label catches your attention: You read the word “kefir” on it and wonder what it is. Sensing your curiosity, the bottle answers: “My name is kefir: I am a type of fermented milk. I have a creamy consistency, a slightly sour taste and a mild yeasty aroma. You can buy me, or you can make me at home. You can drink me or use me creatively.” Kefir is now more widely available in supermarkets and natural food stores than it was a few years ago. It is a unique cultured dairy product due to the combination of lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation of lactose in milk. And it is rich in probiotics, living microorganisms, that can exert health benefits beyond basic nutrition. In his book On Food and Cooking, Harold McGee writes: “[Kefir] is most popular in the Caucasus and may well have originated there. Unlike other fermented milks, in which the fermenting microbes are evenly dispersed, kefir is made by large, complex particles known as kefir grains, which house a dozen or more kinds of microbes, including lactobacilli, lactococci, yeasts and vinegar bacteria.”

Laboratory studies have looked at the composition of kefir grains and at various effects of kefir given to mice and rats, and there are studies evaluating specific health effects of kefir consumption in humans. One study published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association found that kefir improved lactose digestion and tolerance in people with lactose maldigestion. In other health areas, results have been mixed. I hope that more well controlled studies will be conducted to provide clearer evidence regarding other desirable effects of kefir. In the meantime, I will continue making and using kefir at home, because we have come to appreciate it as an ingredient in beverages and other dishes. I obtained my original kefir grains from a fellow food blogger who shared some of hers with me. Since the grains grow while making kefir, extra grains become available to be passed along. If you don’t know anybody who has kefir grains, you can purchase them from one of several sources. An online search using the words: “order milk kefir grains,” will yield a number of options, although I don’t have first-hand experience with any of the suppliers. If

you want to get a sense whether you like kefir, or prefer not to take care of kefir grains, you can make a version of kefir using freeze-dried kefir culture, which comes with its own set of instructions for use (both local Co-op stores sell kefir starter kits). What follows is my personal application of the procedure to make kefir using grains. Sterilize a glass jar by putting it upright in the oven at 200 degrees for 10 minutes. The lid and other implements should be sterilized in boiling water. Pour milk into the cooled jar without filling it completely, then add the kefir grains. (My experience is only with pasteurized cow milk, but I know people who use goat milk.) Cover the jar, leaving the lid just a bit loose to prevent buildup of the carbon dioxide produced during fermentation, and wrap it in a kitchen towel (to protect it from light). Then set it aside in a draft-free place. The kefir grains take it from there. Gently rock the jar a couple of times during fermentation. It takes about 24 hours to get kefir, depending on the room temperature (the cooler the incubating temperature, the slower the process) and the amount of grains. First

the milk thickens. Then it sets — and the cycle can start again. When a batch of kefir is ready, pour it through the strainer to separate the grains, shaking the strainer gently. A small amount of kefir adheres to the grains and that is fine. Once strained, store your kefir in the refrigerator. Let it rest for a day before using it. You can use the drained grains immediately to make a new batch of kefir, or you can store them in a sterilized jar with enough milk to cover them. Put the jar in the fridge for a few days, then use the grains again to make kefir. The flavor, consistency and composition of the final product depend on several factors, including the type of milk used, the duration of fermentation and the composition of the grains or culture. Since the grains grow while making kefir, you will end up with extra grains to pass along. Save the drained grains in a sterilized jar with enough milk to cover them; put the jar in the fridge for a few days. Once you have kefir available, you may come up with new ways of using it. Drinking it, plain or flavored, is the number one use. My husband loves Indian food and always orders a mango lassi when he eats at an Indian restaurant. Lassi is a traditional Indian drink usually made with yogurt. My variation uses homemade kefir (see recipe card on this page). I have also added kefir to soup instead of sour cream You’ll find a recipe on my blog: bricole.typepad.com. I also regularly replace buttermilk with kefir when I make scones. Another thing you can make is kefir cheese. Pour kefir into a colander lined with a piece of sterilized, tightly woven cotton cloth set over a bowl (to catch the whey), then tie the cloth into a bundle and hang it up to drain for 24 hours, or until the cheese acquires the desired consistency. The draining can occur at room temperature or in the refrigerator. You can consume the cheese plain or flavor it with a mix of fresh herbs, dill, mint, chives or parsley for example. Chop herbs of choice finely, add a bit of salt and freshly milled pepper and stir into the drained kefir. You might mold it using a cheese mold of appropriate size, but that is optional. The flavor of the cheese is pleasantly tangy and the herbs, if you use them, give it a nice nuance. It is particularly nice spread over a slightly sweet bread like challah. A post on my blog titled “Making kefir at home” includes pointers to a few online resources. Scientific papers on kefir are available by searching the National Library of Medicine’s PubMed site. ●

Who Wins Now? Humboldt County Board of Supervisors Results

New supervisors’ visions will be hemmed in by an anemic budget and a skeleton crew By Ryan Burns

hen two new county supervisors take their seats at the end of this year, the balance of power in Humboldt County will have shifted toward developer interests and property rights. On Election Day, businessman and frequent community volunteer Rex Bohn earned more than 64 percent of the vote in a three-way race in the 1st District, easily besting former Wiyot Tribal Chair Cheryl Seidner (28 percent) and retired teacher Annette De Modena (7 percent). Bohn will replace Jimmy Smith, who chose not to run for reelection. The 2nd District race was much tighter, but by the end of the night Estelle Fennell had edged out incumbent Clif Clendenen — 52 percent to 48 percent. Fennell, a former news director at KMUD, served nearly

three years as executive director of the Humboldt Coalition for Property Rights, a private advocacy corporation that has sought to influence the county’s general plan update. As expected, 3rd District incumbent Mark Lovelace easily held onto his seat against conservative challenger Karen Brooks; 68 percent voted for Lovelace to Brook’s 32 percent. (About 1,000 mail-in ballots had yet to be counted Tuesday night — almost certainly not enough to change the 2nd District outcome.) What will these results mean for the county? It’s often difficult to predict how a person will perform the job of county supervisor based on election season. Campaigns tend to focus on simple, noble-

sounding concepts (leadership, vision, the future) and grand, reassuring promises (job creation, environmental stewardship). But actual governance on the county level is boxed in by limitations, from state and federal restrictions on how funds can be spent to the will of the electorate and, currently, the depleted size of the county’s staff and budget. The arena where county supervisors have the most power and discretion is in land zoning. When people talk about the “balance of power” on the board it’s generally in relation to controversial zoning questions, such as where to build new affordable housing, how rural landowners are allowed to subdivide their property, and where commercial and industrial buildings can be located. With the county’s general plan update nearing completion, the new board could well have a significant impact on the document, which will guide development in the county’s unincorporated areas over the next couple of decades. Interviewed last week, outgoing 1st District Supervisor Jimmy Smith said the updated plan may or may not be approved before the new board is seated. Even if it

gets passed by the end of the year, Smith pointed out, controversial elements can still be “pulled back and reconsidered based on new information or the desire of the new board of supervisors and planning commission.” In other words, the plan won’t be set in stone, and a more development-friendly board could decide to ease zoning restrictions. Things are already looking up politically for local developers, who have long felt restrained by what they characterize as “no growth” political adversaries and lessthan-helpful staff in the county’s building and planning divisions. Two of their chief nemeses, former Community Development Services Director Kirk Girard and Supervising Planner Tom Hofweber, have left the battlefield. (Girard took a job in Santa Clara County; his last day is Friday. Hofweber retired last year). Bohn and Fennell will likely change appointments to the planning commission. Current commissioner Denver Nelson, who represents the 1st District, has been a staunch river advocate, opposing proposals to sell our region’s abundant water to outside jurisdiction, will almost certainly be replaced. (The seven-person plan-

ning commission includes one member from each of the county’s five districts, appointed to a four-year term by their respective district’s supervisor, plus two “at-large” members who must be approved by the full board of supervisors.) The next board will also have to deal with a host of challenges spawned by last year’s statewide corrections realignment. The transition, which went into effect in October, shifted responsibility from the state to counties for the custody, treatment and supervision of people convicted of certain nonviolent, non-serious and non-sex-related felonies. Bill Damiano, the county’s chief probation officer, said the number of people on probation locally has increased from roughly 1,500 to nearly 1,700 since realignment went into effect, and it’s continuing to grow. So far, the state has provided realignment-related funding to counties, but the future of that funding is not guaranteed. Ultimately, Damiano said, the board of supervisors must make sure that this influx of offenders is properly monitored and, where appropriate, reintegrated into the community. Recent cuts across all county departments will only make that more difficult. District Attorney Paul Gallegos last week threatened to stop prosecuting most misdemeanors if his office’s 2012-13 budget isn’t increased. Another big issue on the horizon is the ongoing effort to expand local airline service. A deal with American Airlines to do just that fell apart earlier this year after the county scrambled unsuccessfully to come up with a $1 million revenue guarantee for the airline. Supervisors and staff were hindered in the effort by restrictions on various pots of public money, including the Headwaters Fund and the county’s own general fund. They also faced resistance from skeptics who haven’t forgotten the half-a-million dollars in revenue guarantees that the county gave to Delta Air Lines in 2008, only to see the airline leave the region less than two years later. American Airlines officials say they remain open to serving Humboldt County, but the next board of supervisors will have to develop a more feasible plan. Fennell has said that she wouldn’t support spending Headwaters money to “subsidize a bankrupt airline.” And of course, this being Humboldt County, the sticky-icky challenges surrounding marijuana remain ever-

present. With state and federal policies at odds, regulation has been left to the counties. Mendocino, our neighbor to the south, developed an innovative and, by most accounts, largely successful system of licensing and regulating medical marijuana, only to watch federal officials target and arrest the providers who were complying with those regulations. Humboldt County supervisors were in the midst of developing their own ordinance to regulate outdoor grows when the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced its intent to aggressively prosecute medical marijuana dispensaries in the state. The county responded by issuing a moratorium on dispensary permits, effectively kicking the bong down the road. The board of supervisors is also responsible for selecting a representative to the North Coast Railroad Authority. Currently that’s Supervisor Clendenen. Its next appointment could prove significant to ongoing efforts to establish a trail (or trails) along the authority’s rights-of-way. Smith said that his replacement — Bohn, as it turned out — will have to navigate the tempestuous politics surrounding Shell WindEnergy’s proposed 50-megawatt wind farm along Bear Ridge, south of Ferndale. The project has proved to be controversial among Smith’s 1st District constituents, and its future still hinges on approval from the county planning commission (as well as the state Coastal Commission). When Virginia Bass unseated Bonnie Neely two years ago, the board tacked right politically, following the same trajectory as the City of Eureka — and the rest of the country, for that matter. Now, with Bohn replacing Smith and Fennell replacing Clendenen, the board is poised to look even friendlier to local development interests and political conservatives. Third District Supervisor Mark Lovelace now stands as the lone environmentalist on the board. Asked about just this possible scenario at his election night party, Lovelace admitted that it would change things. But he said political differences can be blown out of proportion. “We get caught up in the issues that divide us, but the issues that concern the people in the district and affect them are not all related to the general plan,” Lovelace said. With budget cuts and a sagging economy, he added, “a big part of the job is just keeping the lights on and the doors open.” ●

goes to those indecisive people who donated to two candidates — in the same race. Why? Are they cynically hedging their bets? Are they just that nice? Do they have too much money lying around? Eel River Disposal owner Harry Hardin gave $2,150 to 2nd District candidate Fennell, and $200 to her opponent Clendenen. Both are longtime friends, Hardin said. “I’ve known her, and I’ve known him. I’m not gonna give something to one without giving to the other,” he said. “Other people do that, don’t they?” Not many, actually. But Milt Boyd did. Boyd, chair of the Humboldt Democratic Central Committee, gave $100 each to Fennell and Clendenen. While those two complicated souls have money on both sides of the same race, many people donated to campaigns in more than one district. More than 75 donors gave money to two or more campaigns, with most of them lining up neatly among political allies, with Bohn, Fennell and Brooks on the one side, and Seidner, Clendenen and Lovelace on the other. Those familiar industry names — Barnum Timber Co., C & K Industries, George Schmidbauer of Schmidbauer Lumber Inc., Hilfiker Pipe Co., L & H Properties, Leon Warmuth of Leon’s Muffler’s and Brakes, plus a dozen or so others — all made it rain with big checks for Bohn, Fennell and Brooks. A pattern emerged, with 11 of those donors giving exactly $1,500 to Bohn and $1,000 each to Fennell and Brooks. Hank Pierson, manager of L&H Properties, said that donors to multiple campaigns are thinking about the county as a whole, not as five independent sections. If there’s someone you don’t think is going to look after the county in your interest, Pierson said, it makes sense to donate to their opponents. Among the progressive patrons were county employees’ union AFSCME Local 1684, which gave $1,500 each to Seidner, Clendenen and Lovelace, and state Assemblyman Wes Chesbro (D), who gave $1,000 to each. As usual, Bill Pierson of Pierson Building Center smacked down his big hammer of money, donating $1,000 to Clendenen under his own name, and $1,000 each to Seidner and Lovelace through his company, Sedge-

More than 900 people donated at least $100 to the seven county supervisorial races. Candidates submitted names, occupations, addresses and donation amounts for each of those people who donated through May 24. (Plus, they disclosed any additional $1,000-plus gifts up through election day.) We transcribed every one of those entries into spreadsheets. That’s, like, thousands of entries. Damn!

field Properties. Among donors who gave less than $650 to any single candidate — but still kicked in money in multiple districts — a different trend emerged. Far more of these smaller donors to multiple campaigns gave to some combination of Seidner, Clendenen and Lovelace, rather than to a combination of Bohn, Fennell and Brooks. The biggest single donor in the race, the Humboldt Deputy Sheriff’s Organization, also strayed from the normal pattern, giving $5,000 each to Bohn, Fennell and Lovelace — all winners. The deputy sheriff’s group chose the candidates who seemed most well-versed in the issues local law enforcement is concerned with, said its vice-chair, Sgt. Ernie Stewart. Right now, the biggest problem is a lack of money. The Sher-

iff’s Department has lost more than 60 positions since 2008, said Stewart. The deputy sheriff’s group hopes, he said, that pitching in on the supervisorial races will remind candidates to think of their friends in uniform when it comes time to write the county budget. After Bohn, 2nd District candidate Fennell was the biggest money magnet, with more than $125,000 in contributions. Of Fennell’s 41 donors of $650 or more, all but 16 also gave to Bohn or Brooks. Second District incumbent Clendenen landed in third place, raising a little more than $73,000 — more than $50,000 behind his opponent. In the 3rd District, Karen Brooks drew more than $44,000 in donations. Of Brooks’ 17 donors of $650 or more, only two didn’t also donate to either the Bohn or Fennell campaigns. Mark Lovelace also received roughly $44,000, putting him neck-and-neck with his opponent. Of his nine donors of $650 or more, two, Leesa and Douglas, share his last name. Back in the 1st District, Johnny-comelately Cheryl Seidner raised more than $29,000 despite her February entry into the race. She received probably the largest out-of-county donation, with Chicago-based environmental consulting firm Genesis Engineering & Research pitching $1,000. While Seidner has no direct ties with Genesis, explained campaign manager Josh Drayton, one of Seidner’s good friends is a friend of the owner of the firm, who happened to be in a giving mood. Bohn and Seidner’s opponent, Annette De Modena, was all but ignored by the big donors. She raised nearly $30,000, but that figure is misleading — De Modena lent herself two-thirds of that sum. Half a mil, from thousands of donors. People’s hopes, ideals, and grudges, all distilled down into cold hard cash. For some, the winners will deliver. For others, they will no doubt disappoint. Those who backed the losing candidates can only say, “We tried.” The new supervisors aren’t the only winners. Advertisers, caterers and print shops, fat from the long harvest, can look back contentedly. And look forward to November. l

Moments of Truth

Parties flare, fizzle as results trickle in By North Coast Journal Staff

he writing on the wall came early — in giant scrawls — on election night, and the two conservative allies who raised buckets of money to win supervisorial seats celebrated as two different parties erupted around them. At the Elk’s Club in Eureka, Rex Bohn huddled at a back corner table with County Supervisor Virginia Bass and her husband, political swami Matthew Owen when first PDF results flashed across a laptop. “It’s done!” Owen said. The numbers showed Bohn with a staggeringly strong 65 percent support among mail-in voters in the county’s 1st District. A November run-off against either of his two opponents to replace retiring Supervisor Jimmy Smith appeared unlikely. “Oh, that’s really good,” said Bass. “Yeah, this thing’s done!” Owen reiterated. Bohn walked to the stage, took up a microphone and looked down at about 250 supporters, many in orange and black Bohn-emblazoned T-shirts and sweatshirts. “The auction’s gonna start in 10 minutes,” he joked — then clued in the rest of the room as the early numbers were projected onto a giant screen.

“We’ve got the first results and, um” he paused, “they’re good. But we’ve got a ways to go.” That was an understatement, and the crowd knew it. Congratulations and handshakes came from all sides. Farther south in Fortuna, where moments before Estelle Fennell had been pacing at her campaign headquarters, she grinned and laughed out loud as the first results were read over Access Humboldt. Suddenly, what had been a tense group of people huddled in a room became a party, 25 or 30 Fennell fans getting louder and happier by the moment. Fennell let it run for a little while, and then stepped in front of the television screen. “These are just the first results guys,” she said. But they seemed like telling results. More and more people have been voting by mail in Humboldt, and savvy political teams knew how to read the signs. Fennell had captured 51.4 percent of those first votes to incumbent Clif Clendenen’s 48.2. Once the joy settled down into happier expectation, during the long wait for the next wave of results, Fennell told the Journal, “At least now I feel a chance to be hopeful.”

The presumed winner chats on the phone with Clif Clendenen. photo by bob doran

At the Hot Brew Bistro next to Wildwood Saw & Sporting Goods on south end of Fortuna, Clendenen drank a Great White and tried to parse the numbers. He was surprised, he said. “But then my first question was, ‘What’s in that number?’ If it had a lot of Fortuna absentees that would be bad, but if more SoHum then that would be a good result.” He had always expected Fennell to do well in southern Humboldt.

And Now, Huffman’s Cakewalk to Congress By Ryan Burns

ared Huffman, the termed-out Democratic state assemblyman, was the top vote-getter in California’s newly formed 2nd congressional district while Republican investment banker Dan Roberts edged out a crowded pack of challengers to earn a spot in the November runoff. Huffman was considered the frontrunner in the 12-way race to replace longtime Representative Lynn Woolsey (D-Petaluma), and he fulfilled those expectations by taking 37 percent of the total vote. Three other strong Democratic contenders split nearly a third of the overall vote, allowing Roberts to sneak into the No. 2 position with just 15 percent support. Norman Solomon, an author and longtime anti-war activist, came in a close third with 14 percent, followed by Silicon Valley entrepreneur/fundraising juggernaut Stacey Lawson, who earned 10 percent. Marin County Supervisor and nurse Susan Adams came in fourth with 8 percent. It was an uncommonly exciting and contentious primary season, but Election Day proved that, sometimes, the more things change the more they stay the same. The North Coast has long been represented in the U.S. Congress by Mike Thompson, a skilled and popular politician. Each election cycle, Republicans would offer up a sacrificial candidate — “sacrificial” because the old 1st congressional district was a liberal stronghold and Thompson is known for bringing home the bacon. Last year, things were shaken up. The congressional districts were redrawn by a citizens redistricting committee, placing Thompson’s hometown of St. Helena in the new 5th

district. Humboldt County became part of the new 2nd district, which stretches all the way up the coast from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Oregon border. Woolsey chose not to run for reelection, leaving the new district wide open. Another big change was California’s new “top-two” election rules, which send the 1st and 2nd place finishers in the June primary into a November runoff, regardless of political party. This offered the intriguing possibility of two Democrats — or even two Republicans, conceivably — duking it out in the general election. Many expected Lawson or Solomon to take second place. Lawson was a political newbie, but she raised hundreds of thousands

of dollars and campaigned as a job creator. She took flak, however, for her poor voting record (she missed eight of the last 12 elections) and for trying to hide a series of blog posts on her woo woo spirituality. Solomon has long been a hero of the far left, protesting the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and championing environmental causes. He went negative late in the campaign, targeting Lawson with mailers. But with Roberts landing in the runoff, we’re looking at six months of a forgone conclusion. Huffman, like Thompson, is a skilled and popular liberal politician in an overwhelmingly liberal district. Barring the unimaginable, Roberts has almost zero chance of defeating him come November. l

The work and new studio of painter Joan Gold

JOAN GOLD IN HER STUDIO PHOTO BY JASON MARAK

By Jason Marak

ost would agree that art has the ability to enrich our lives: Great works of visual and performing art can make us keenly aware of what is possible beyond the whitewash of typical daily experience. When we think about where we come into contact with this art, many of us picture austere gallery spaces, venerated museums and concert halls. It is easy to get the sense that these are the most natural, appropriate places for all works of art — that this is where all artists intend their work to live and be experienced by the viewer or audience. This notion is certainly true for some artists, but not all. Some artists, like Humboldt Countybased painter Joan Gold, create their work with the hope that it will ultimately be viewed and experienced in more intimate, personal surroundings — in places much closer to home. Gold’s brightly colored, vibrant, often geometrical, mixed media abstract paintings have certainly appeared in plenty of austere gallery spaces from coast to coast and internationally, but these are not necessarily her ideal venues. “The way I envision my work finally being placed is within homes or offices. I don’t really want them in galleries and museums, I want them where people live and work … They’re meant to be lived with,” Gold explained. A life-long artist, Gold studied art as an undergraduate at New York’s prestigious Cooper Union and then the Brooklyn Museum Art School in the 1950s. Soon after, Gold moved from her native New York to Venezuela where she lived for 24 years raising a family and teaching. After a creative lull, she returned to painting full force in her mid-40s and has devoted her life to artistic and aesthetic pursuits ever since. She has been living and working in

BLUE YELLOW GREEN PAINTING/COLLAGE BY JOAN GOLD

Humboldt County since 1979. While her paintings are far from representational, her travels and her current home do affect her work. “Any place that you live is going to affect who you are, but when I close myself in my studio and I do my work it all comes from inside. I’m not responding to anything outside myself, except that as a person living in Humboldt County, or Venezuela or in a big city, I’m absorbing the whole experience of the location. This is an enormously beautiful place and Venezuela is incredibly beautiful and I think that kind of feeds one. And then I go into my studio and I don’t particularly think about any of it, but I paint what really means something to me at the moment and I think [the work] is the sum of my entire life and everyplace I’ve ever lived,” Gold declared. It is this absorbed sense of beauty that is visible in Gold’s pleasing palette, her sense of color and light, and the structure of her work. Gold recently moved into a new Eureka studio space and she is very happy to be there. “The other space was a little bit smaller and not as well designed. It was actually a little cold for me in the winter and the lighting wasn’t as good.” The new studio space, a redesigned double garage from a house built in 1936, solves the shortcomings of the old one. Gold’s new creative home will be open to the public

book Van Gogh: Up Close Edited by Cornelia Homburg - Yale University Press

He is among the most mythologized of artists: the tortured, mad, solitary, ignored genius. As if his paintings are not striking enough, the severed ear and suicide color them more strangely in this cartoon world. This calm and excellent volume is the antidote, as well as a revelatory look at the heart of his work. Guided by his childhood in the Dutch countryside and his love of Japanese prints, Van Gogh “pushed the boundaries of close-up views of nature” as no other European artist, according to Cornelia Homburg, this volume’s editor. Eleven illustrated essays examine subjects and sources. For example, Joseph J. Rishel looks at Van Gogh’s early encounters with Dutch masters such as Rembrandt. Jennifer Thompson surveys his contemporaries, including Monet and Renoir. But most of the attention stays on Van Gogh himself, and along the way the myth gets modified. While some modernists may have pursued the Rimbaud formula of deliberate disordering of the senses, Van Gogh considered “peace of mind and self-composure” essential to the concentration on the “dusty blade of grass” and the process of painting well. Some have suggested Van Gogh’s illness was due to the intensity of his work, but Richard Shiff writes in his essay that it was the other way around: only painting soothed him and offset his illness. Van Gogh’s use of color also doesn’t require theories about warped brain chemistry — Jennifer Thompson writes that he consciously used color to convey feeling and meaning. He wanted to suggest the sound of the ear of corn swaying in the breeze. Illustrations abound in this book. In my experience, there’s nothing like seeing the actual painting. I had the chance to stand quietly in front of Van Gogh’s “Wheat Fields at Auvers Under Cloudy Sky” for a considerable time at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, and no illustration I’ve seen — including the one in this book — captures the luminous colors and textures, or their effects. But quite a few of the 100 illustrations in this book are the best I’ve seen, and give a real sense of a painting. Several are simply astonishing. That’s due in part to the large format (a few are spread over two wide pages) and the care with color. They certainly are much better than anything now available online. “Art requires a sense of humility, willingness to perform hard labor, and an ability to see beauty in the most humble of places,” writes Anabelle Kienle, summarizing a Van Gogh letter. The combination of these texts and illustrations gives substance and a sense of joy to his achievement. And together they may illuminate the flowers, trees, fields and skies of the Humboldt spring in new ways as well. — William Kowinski

cd Electric Cables By Lightships Geographic/ Domino

“Good things come for those who wait.” It’s a hackneyed cliché, but the statement rings strangely true for Teenage Fanclub’s bassist, vocalist and founding member, Gerard Love. After over two decades contributing to the Scottish band’s trademark pop sound, a mixture of Byrds-like harmonies, ringing guitars and melodies loaded with hooks, the shy TF bassist slows things down, steps forward, straps on a guitar and leans into the mic under the moniker Lightships. With Electric Cables, Love offers a collection of self-penned songs exposed to the warmth of sunlight — in very subtle ways. Amassing a band of old and current musician friends, including original Fanclub drummer Brenden O’Hare, Belle & Sebastian’s bassist Bob Kildea and, most importantly, current TF multi-instrumentalist Dave McGowan, Love explores his subtle side with Lightships’ full-length debut. While compositions for TF such as “Radio” and “Sparky’s Dream” tended to be more upbeat, the Lightships downshift shouldn’t came as a complete surprise if you caught the somber “Sweet Days of Waiting” from TF’s 2010 release, Shadows. On Electric Cables, Love expands on that feel, employing deep influences, which include Stereolab, Television, the sound techniques of famed ’60s producer Tom Wilson and various UK ’60s pop groups (most specifically The Small Faces). However, afforded the stability of being in a single band since the late ’80s, he’s also been able to mature as a songwriter. His subtlety, rather than an eagerness to break out, melds into his compositions like cream into coffee. Love creates a late afternoon vibe with Electric Cables‘ opening cut, “Two Lines,” which features two interweaving guitar lines: a fluid lead guitar line snaking in between a repetitive rhythmic chiming riff. The effect is reminiscent of the subtle guitar lines flashed in Television’s 1992 self-titled reunion recording. A skipping guitar line that propels “Sweetness in Her Spark” highlights the value of McGowan’s contributions. For “Every Blossom,” Love borrows cues from Wilson, whose production credits spanned from Dylan and Simon and Garfunkel to The Velvet Underground. Love employs glockenspiel and flute to add an overall pop sound akin to VU’s “Sunday Morning.” Beach Boys-French pop mixtures of Stereolab cast a shadowing influence on the psychedelic haze of “Muddy Rivers.” “Silver & Gold” marks Love’s greatest departure: Opting to sing in a near-falsetto, he builds the arrangement from a spare introduction that eventually blooms into full color by the chorus. Electric Cables is a satisfyingly slow-burning pop record that gains appreciation after repeated play. It demands that the listener slow down and listen. The rewards parallel the atmosphere it creates; it’s a perfect platter for that time of day when one wants to experience the fading heat and light of the summer sun as it quietly descends. — Mark Shikuma

26 North Coast Journal • Thursday, June 7, 2012 • northcoastjournal.com

About a month ago Georgia-born songwriter/guitar picker Caroline Aiken loaded a few of her guitars and her dogs, Chula and Ita, into her truck and headed out from her home in Athens, Ga. She made her way to the Southwest and played a couple of shows there with another Georgia peach, Arcata-based songstress Joanne Rand, who describes Aiken as “a hero of the highways,” adding, “She’s the real deal; authentic.” Aiken’s tour then took her up to Seattle, and she began working her way down through Oregon headed for California. She’ll be in the Golden State a couple of months, playing her songs at house shows, coffeehouses, bars, festivals — wherever there’s an audience. Aiken has been singing as long as she can remember (her nanny was one of the famed Georgia Sea Island Singers), and she started playing guitar at 10. She joined her first rock band at 14, then ran away from home at 15, hitchhiking with her guitar on her back to the

West Coast, looking for others like her. It’s not all that different from what she’s doing today, except now she has a truck, a lot more songs and usually a stage. She says time on stage in front of a crowd makes all the driving, schlepping gear and sleeping in motels worthwhile. “I look at it as a cottage industry,” she said, calling from Eugene where she played a few gigs. “I feel fortunate to have these beautiful house concerts, opening act gigs, sometime my own gig with 100 people or 500, or some festival. It’s pure pleasure.” Aiken’s real forte is connecting with an audience. With a guitar in her hands, she’s totally relaxed, without fear. She actually teaches a class on “Zen and the Art of Performance.” “When you’re on stage you have to realize that’s what you’re supposed to be doing,” she said. “You know, this is what I’ve worked on all my life, to get to this spot, this stage, right here tonight. What a joyful place that can be.” Listening to her music, you feel that joy.

Caroline Aiken’s long, winding tour brings her to Humboldt Brews Friday night where she’ll once again share a bill with her friend Rand. Rand will be backed by keyboardist Tim Randles and bassist Marla Joy from Rand’s “Hurricane Party” band, with special guest drummer/percussionist Claudia Paige, founder of Celtic/Afro tribal gypsy band Druid Sister Tea Party. It should be joyous. Splinter Cell bassist Little Jimmy Forbes, who serves as president of the Humboldt Council of the Blind, has assembled another HCB benefit compilation CD, Vision & Sound, with 25 tracks by local bands. Splinter Cell plays two shows this weekend to celebrate (and sell) the new disc: Friday at Blondie’s it’s an all-ages thing with The Bandage. Saturday’s show at Lil Red Lion includes heavy rockers The Hard Ride and self-described “Trans Am garage psyche” band Drifter Killer. (Yes, all of them are on the CD.) Friday night at the Jambalaya, post-Arts! Arcata, you are invited to “come celebrate the glory of this year’s Kinetic Grand Championship ‘80s-style,” with racers, volunteers and Rutabaga Royalty at the “Offishul Kinetic Wrap Party.” DJs Gabe Pressure, Anya and Zephyr will be spinning all vinyl ‘80s New Wave, pop, punk, hip hop, etc. Admission is free to Kinetic folk presenting 2012 lammies; civilians, $5. Some of the local fire art folks are throwing a benefit Saturday night at the D Street Neighborhood Center: “Stand Up and Be Amazed!” features “Reality Thief” Brad Barton, a performer out of San Francisco who’s kind of a modern version of one of those mind readers you remember from old movies, delivering magic tricks with a spiel that’s part sideshow barker, part standup comic, part motivational speaker. The fundraiser for Ancient Forest International’s Los Cedros Biological Reserve starts with a tapas-style dinner, but you can eat at home and just see the show for a bit less of a donation. As you may have noticed, The Placebo is back in action full-force, particularly since Billiam Allyn, a prime mover in the local house show world, took over as executive director and started booking the Ink Annex. Saturday night they have an evening of punk pop with a couple of Midwestern bands, Delay and The Sidekicks (not to be confused with the local folk duo with the same name), Spraynard from Pennsylvania with local punks Ratus Ratus, plus DJ Gabe Pressure (who helped book the show). Tuesday, Placebo hosts Brooklyn Goth/ psyche electronica band Røsenkøpf with a couple of ambient electro artists from Arizona, Angelo Harmsworth and Good Amount, plus like-minded locals Shultz from Ferndale and Project Sunlight from Scotia. Wednesday, June 13, it’s crust punk by Napalm Raid from Halifax, Nova Scotia, with hardcore and noise from Kom(A)tose, Aleister Christ and Ratus Ratus, all from Arcata. All three shows are all-ages and all start early, 6-ish, at the Ink Annex in Old Town. Expect lots more to come as word-of-

mouth spreads among bands about this happenin’ all-ages venue. Sorry, adults only Thursday at the Shanty, when girl garage supergroup The Lost Luvs (closely related to Monster Women) hosts a pair of touring bands from Seattle: disco garage duo Pony Time and neo-no wavers Stickers. Sunday at the Shanty it’s a blast of psyche/garage with Pierced Arrows, featuring guitarist Fred Cole, formerly of The Rats and Dead Moon, plus local psyche warriors White Manna and Don’t, from I-don’t-know-where. Got a Facebook invite to “like” a new local “melodic rock” band, Indianola, “made up of three handsome musicians/friends that have known each other since childhood” — specifically, guitarist Ben Allen, bassist CJ Stewart and drummer Graham Miller. (I like them.) Indianola plays Saturday at the Alibi opening for Speed of Darkness, an herbal metal combo out of Whale Gulch. A new Rio Dell bar, Club NightShade, celebrates its grand opening Friday night and kicks off a summer-long “Battle of the Bands.” Plans for the new venue are laid out on several GoDaddy websites: As www.TheBookOfMoney. us, it’s “Remember When,” a daytime beer and wine bar “reminiscent of days gone by” with a classic rock soundtrack. As TheBookOfMoney. org, it becomes the Rio Dell Community Center with flea markets, auctions and club meetings. TheBookOfMoney.info takes you to the weekend music venue, Club Nightshade, and the lineup for Battle of the Bands sessions Fridays and Saturdays in June. Three acts per night, 24 total, are competing for a $1,000 grand prize and “a permanent paid gig at Club NightShade.” Opening night, Friday, pits Joe Dominick Band against Liquid Kactus and The Hill Band. Saturday, it’s an eclectic battle between DJ Marv, songwriter JD Jeffries and a band called Wanna. Battle rules explain how you make it to the finals: “The winning band is the band that has the most people come to see them perform, so if you have a decent following, you can easily earn $1,000.” The club’s suggestion to the bands — “Invite everyone you know” — will probably lead to some furious Facebook action. Added attraction: The Nightshade Girls, who, based on the YouTube link supplied, seem to be some sort of blacklight-lit go-go dancers. Incidentally, NightShade’s Facebook page describes all this as “a project of friendship” for owner Ben Payne,” who is recovering from brain cancer surgery, recently lost his wife to a stroke and had his home condemned. Now, says the FB “about” section, “Down and out, sick, dying and lonely — broke and broken — his final days, months are to be filled with music and a gift to the community.” I’d say if you make it down to Rio Dell, you might want to buy that man a beer. ●

You hear their engines roar as they zoom by on heavy metal steeds, leather-clad riders rolling down the road in packs. They’re on a run to somewhere, but a big part of the pleasure is the ride there. This weekend that ride is the Redwood Run, or as they’re calling it this year, The Kiwanis Original Redwood Run. You might remember that back in 2010, longtime organizers Sciandra and Doug McCauley announced they were calling it quits and that would be the last Run. Not so fast. It’s not really yours to end, said Kiwanis of the Redwoods, who have relied on the event as their major annual fundraiser for 35 years. Since the McCauleys control Riverview Ranch, the property near Piercy where the Run has been held for decades, in 2011 the event moved to a new location. Now, says Kiwanis member Dave Hardy, the club has signed a lease with the McCauleys and, “We’re happy to be back on the ranch.” Hardy describes the biker run party as “a purely Humboldt homegrown event supporting old codgers and rug rats,” specifically things like building wheelchair ramps, supporting school sport programs and building school bus shelters. So, what goes on at a woodsy NorCal biker party? The motorcycles start rolling in early Friday (no cars are allowed past the gate), and the festivities begin at 8 a.m. with a patriotic flourish: Gene Womack and a color guard sing the national anthem and say a little prayer. A day full of rock music in various forms starts shortly after. It begins with alt. rock/country by The Stick Martin Show (at 9 a.m.), then southern rock by Savannah Blue (10:30 a.m.), blues rock by The Mike Osborn Band (12:30 p.m.) and classic rock by RubberSideDown (2:30 p.m.), whose name is a biker term for a safe ride with wheels on the pavement. The evening portion kicks off at 4:30 with a trib-

ute to recently departed guitarist Ronnie Montrose, with special guest Michael Lee Firkins backed by Ronnie’s band. Canadian classic rocker Pat Travers is on at 6:30 p.m. followed by Willie Nelson’s son, Lukas Nelson, and Promise of the Real (8:30p.m.), biker fave Charlie Brechtel (11 p.m.) and last, a tribute band, The Unauthorized Rolling Stones. For those who don’t need to sleep much, the music starts up again at 8 a.m. with Low Fill, but most of Saturday morning is taken up by a bike show and “biker games,” for example the classic slow ride with biker babe on the back who has to chomp a suspended hot dog as the bike wheels under it. Classy blueswoman Kaye Bohler and her band take the stage at 11:30 a.m. Michael Lee Firkins is back for his own set at 1 p.m. Then it’s more fun and games with the traditional (for the Run anyway) wet T-shirt contest at 3 p.m. Country rocker Amanda Gray and Whiskey Savage start off the last music portion at 5 p.m. with Skinny Molly at 7 p.m., featuring guitarist Mike Estes from the (post-plane crash) Lynyrd Skynyrd. At 9 p.m. it’s Ukiah’s classic rock band II Big with special guest Billy Idol. Closing things out Saturday night you have The Fryed Brothers, a true biker band and a Redwood Run favorite for years. As bandleader Harry Fried puts it in song, “The party ain’t over ‘til the Fryeds go home,” which means the wee hours of Sunday. The party actually breaks up come morning; the bikers say their farewells and roll off through the redwoods headed for home, hopefully rubber side down. The 35th Annual Redwood Run takes place June 8-10 on the Riverview Ranch just south of Piercy, off Highway 101. Tickets covering the whole weekend are $120, available online at www.kiwanisrwr.com. — Bob Doran continued on next page northcoastjournal.com • NORTH COAST JOURNAL • THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 2012

Reganomics

As a working comedian, you want to play the big rooms. Simple logic dictates that the more seats you have the potential to squeeze butts into, the higher potential monetary return you’ll have for a given performance. You get that, right? But rumor has it that the world is not solely driven by economics. While the extra bucks are way good, big name stand-up comedy veteran Brian Regan also sees artistic benefits to having access to the larger venues he’s grown accustomed to. “You can actually get more subtle in a theater,” Regan says. While audience eyeball proximity may be closer in a small club, he says the people who come to see his shows now are more invested in him as a performer, allowing him to fully hold their attention as he unfolds his comedic vignettes. They’re there to see him. By contrast, club conditions can be less than ideal for connecting with people. “There’s a blender going. There’s a guy in the front row eating a cheeseburger. I’m babysitting ‘that drunk guy’ over there.” Regan says, noting that on the club circuit, often audiences show up without knowing who they’ll be seeing. “But now, everyone has a ticket with my name on it,” he says. This Sunday, June 10, the 753-keister capacity Arkley Center for the Performing Arts will collect a bunch of “Brian Regan”-stamped tickets when the comedian stops by to drop societal observations on focused, non-drunk Humboldtians. While he feels blessed by his continued success as a touring act — Arkley Center is “makin’ it,” baby! — he still has some loftier career ambitions. “I’d love to do a TV show,” Regan says. But not just any TV show. To be involved in a project that consuming, it would need to be something he has creative control over, like Jerry Seinfeld or Louis CK’s small screen endeavors. “I don’t want to have the wacky wife that rolls her eyes,” he says. Us either! Like many artists, he’s also enjoyed the liberating nature of the Internet. Last year he released his latest album, All By Myself, exclusively on his website. That’s pretty standard nowadays. But he also had a unique soul-baring session! Marc Maron just interviewed Regan for a yet-to-be-aired episode of his extremely popular and influential WTF podcast. Regan says he prefers the longer format of the comedy podcast world to the rapidfire radio appearances that comedians have traditionally had to submit to. “Now it’s not, ‘Do your Poptarts bit, then we’re going to a commercial.’ I’m a little deeper than that. Maybe I’ll have a serious answer. Maybe I’ll have a funny answer.” While Regan is mainly known as a clean comedian, he says that Maron was able to coax a dirty bit from early in his career. “But I didn’t cry,” he says, making light of Maron’s penchant of getting really deep with his interview subjects. Way to stay strong, Bri. To check out Brian’s latest album and clips of him onstage, head to brianregan.com. — Andrew Goff

New Snow White is short on plot, little people By John J. Bennett filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNSTMAN. With a little luck, maybe this will be the last of the Snow White remakes. Not because it adds anything to the mythology: The 1937 Disney version is and will most likely remain the definitive movie version of the fairy tale. No, Huntsman would be an appropriate end point because it may be the most superfluous yet. It’s not all bad: Director Rupert Sanders has a distinctive, over-the-top visual sense. When I started seeing trailers for this, his debut, I was actually a little excited. Problem is, those trailers are cobbled together from the prettiest, most striking shots in the movie. And while Sanders may be imaginative, even semi-visionary when it comes to composing short sequences, he’s not so hot at pacing and structure. The excitement of the visuals wears off pretty quickly, and we’re left slogging through an overlong, underdeveloped plot acted out by a cast that seems to have lost its way. I’m struck by how much of movie is

borrowed/stolen. Tonally and thematically, it owes an apology to too many films to list. When it does try to build on the classic framework, the attempts come off halfhearted and ill-conceived. Charlize Theron’s evil queen is supposedly on a mission of feminist revenge, but that gets continued on next page

Snow white gets wild.

forgotten minutes after it’s introduced. And Chris Hemsworth’s woodsman, who is alternately a destitute gutter drunk and the world’s greatest ax champion, is motivated by grief and the notion that the queen can bring his late wife back from the dead. What? Don’t worry, that part gets glossed over in no time, too. Among the actors, Theron seems to be having a little fun with her character’s wickedness, but sometimes it’s hard to tell. She’s a great talent, and could certainly make the queen scary and real if called upon. So the fact that she comes off campy and crazy is either a sign of her self-amusement or another indication that the director should have spent more time making script notes before he got to the set. Hard to say. She spends a fair amount of her screen-time wild-eyed, screaming, plucking out bird hearts and bathing in what looks like white house paint. I was initially optimistic about Kristen Stewart as Snow White. I thought she might do something here to make up for her flaccid, noncommittal Bella Cullen (nee Swan). And for the first act or so, she pulls it off. But after a while her fakey British proved too distracting. Chris Hemsworth is fine if unremarkable as the huntsman. Another disconcerting thing happens midway through when we meet the seven dwarfs. Recast as the last of a noble race of miners, they’re played by fairly prominent British actors of normal height, digitally shrunken for effect. At first this was entertaining, and most of them turn in pretty solid performances. But soon it felt a gag too clever by half. Why not just cast real little people? But that’s a minor complaint, especially in light of the movie’s many other problems. Because this was the only movie open-

ing this weekend, I caught up on a little Netflix housekeeping. Submarine (2010, R, 97m), now available for rent, is actor Richard Ayoade’s feature debut as a director. He’s a British comedy vet whose lengthy résumé includes hilarious turns in TV series The IT Crowd and The Mightly Boosh. Submarine has drawn a lot of comparisons to the work of Wes Anderson. They definitely share some inclinations, but I have too much respect for Ayoade to think he’s being derivative. Let’s assume he and Anderson just share influences. Anyway, Submarine is very much worth the price of admission. It’s fun and whimsical in some moments, painfully real in others, and a pretty honest look at adolescence. Four Lions (2010, R, 97m) is also worth putting on the queue. A semi-mockumentary from Christopher Morris (another BBC comedy vet), it tells the story of a ragtag group of British jihadists trying to get their first act of terrorism off the ground. It’s also darkly hilarious and occasionally sentimental. Snow White and the Huntsman is rated PG13. 127m. —John J. Bennett

Previews

PROMETHEUS. Ridley Scott has said that his latest movie “carries the DNA” of Alien, his seminal sci-fi horror film from 1979, but that it’s not exactly a prequel. Duly noted, sir. Bottom line: It’s another journey into the lonelier, more sinister realms of outer space, complete with dimly lit corridors, an undercurrent of terror and set pieces inspired by the art of Swiss surrealist H.R. Giger. Yes, please. R. 124m. MADAGASCAR 3: EUROPE’S MOST WANTED. With voice talent from some truly funny actors (Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, Sacha Baron Cohen) and some well-

executed physical comedy animation, Dreamworks’ Madagascar franchise has been among the better non-Pixar family films of the last decade — which is to say adults might actually enjoy themselves, too. This time around, the zoo animal gang finds itself in Europe. PG. 93m. At the Arcata Theatre Lounge Thursday, dive into another Ocean Night, the monthly benefit for Ocean Conservancy, Humboldt Surfrider and Humboldt Baykeeper. The latest ode to the briny deep will feature, appropriately enough, Oceans, a Disneynature documentary from 2009, and Grey Whale Sessions, a surf flick set in Baja. $3 donation. 6:30 p.m. Friday night, it’s the comedy that launched several million ill-advised impersonations — Austin Powers (1997), Mike Meyers’ goofball ode to 1960s spy capers. PG13. 94m. 9 p.m. Next Wednesday, Sci-Fi Pint and Pizza Night will feature classic American monsters, starting with The Killer Shrews (1959), which is about big rodents, not ill-tempered women, and finishing up with The Phantom From 10,000 Leagues (1955), about a mysterious mutant sea monster. 6 p.m.-10 p.m.

Continuing.

THE AVENGERS. Director Joss Whedon infuses this superhero all-star team with wit and humor without skimping on the thrills. PG13. 142m. BATTLESHIP. It’s the grid-based guessing game you remember, plus aliens, e’splosions and Rihanna! PG13. 131m. THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL. British retirees head for India, where they find accommodations sorely lacking. Starring Judi Dench, Maggie Smith and Bill Nighy. PG13. 124m. CHERNOBYL DIARIES. Entitled (but attractive!) young American dipshits take an “extreme tourism” trip to the site of the world’s worst nuclear meltdown. R. 88m. DARK SHADOWS. Johnny Depp and Tim Burton used to have something, didn’t they? Not so much in this adaptation of a 1960s soap opera. PG13. 113m. THE HUNGER GAMES. In a dystopian future state, teenagers get conscripted into a televised death match. PG. 142m. MEN IN BLACK III. Will Smith is back as Agent J, the smack-talkin’ government agent sent to dispatch diabolical aliens. Third time around is amusing, but nothing to write your home planet about. PG13. 107m. WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU’RE EXPECTING. Five interconnected couples make babies and have gag-me-cute romcom problems. PG13. 110m. —Ryan Burns l
