n Monday, the New York Times published an article on the Congressional Budget Office analysis of the Senate Republican plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. “[T]he report said, premiums for older people would be much higher under the Senate bill than under current law. As an example, it said, for a typical 64-yearold with an annual income of $26,500, the net premium in 2026 for a midlevel silver plan, after subsidies, would average $6,500, compared with $1,700 under the Affordable Care Act. And the insurance would cover less of the consumer’s medical costs. Likewise, the report said, for a 64-year-old with an annual income of $56,800, the premium in 2026 would average $20,500 a year, or three times the amount expected under the Affordable Care Act.” We all have our own selfish lens and I have mine. As an owner of the North Coast Journal, I’ve written before about the struggles to provide adequate medical insurance for our employees, what the Affordable Care Act (ACA) originally promised us as small business owners, and what it actually delivered. For many of our 26 years in business, we paid 100 percent of the premiums for our employees for a higher deductible, medium-grade silver plan. The ACA promised direct subsidies to small businesses (fewer than 25 employees) for four years in the form of tax credits — basically taxes we didn’t have to pay. The ACA delivered. Each year we received up to $8,000 to help pay premiums for the following year. I remember being concerned about what would happen in four years when those subsidies went away. Originally there was talk about a direct “government option” if we couldn’t afford premiums but that never materialized. In 2015, the year the subsidies went away, was also the year that our premium estimate went up a whopping 42 percent, which I reported to Congressman Jared Huffman’s office. It wasn’t a straight, across-the-board increase; some of it was due to employees getting older. It was an increase we could not afford and neither

could our employees because the each of them paid for their families. One employee’s spouse was looking at an additional $500 a month because he was 62. I don’t know how many other employers did this but we basically cancelled the company’s health insurance and at the same time increased wages, telling employees to go shopping. They did and 16 of our 18 employees qualified for California’s ACA subsidies, which are actually quite generous. Most received silver-plan coverage for much less money. After seven years of complaining, this is what the Republicans come up with? They should be ashamed. And now the vote has been delayed until mid July. The only good that can come out of this is anger and some type of real action. Elizabeth Warren on Tuesday said it’s time for Dems to run on single payer health care. Bernie Sanders will introduce a bill to expand Medicare for all Americans in the Senate this week and HR 676 has already been introduced. Health care should be a basic human and social right for all Americans in a country as rich as ours. Returning to my selfish lens, why should health care be a burden to businesses at all? If we were free to hire and pay on merit alone, it would truly level the playing field for businesses to compete for good employees. As it stands now, the system does nothing but punish older workers who frankly cost employers more. I’d like to hear from other small business owners, either for publication or privately. My email is judy@northcoastjournal.com. Finally, it’s time for the Democrats to put up or shut up. If you can’t support a total expansion of Medicare, at least start dropping the age to qualify gradually. And increase — don’t decrease — federal support to states subsidizing health care based on family income as fast as you can. If the Republicans are heading totally in the wrong direction, do the opposite. And be prepared to answer this question when you return to your district for the next town hall meeting: “Why are we protecting the insurance industry and its profits?” l

GMO No Editor: Mr. Hoover’s claim that GMO technology is “benign and beneficial” is a stupendously unpopular opinion. Unfortunately he supports it with some outright falsehoods. GMOs do not (at least at this point) increase food nutrition. As far as I know, the only plan for that is the so-called “golden rice” that has not actually gone into production. He then claims that this technology that is primarily used to allow crops to survive higher doses of toxic pesticides “reduce agricultural impacts on the environment.” He also claims that GMOs lower food cost, but I think he may be mistaking the technology for government subsidies. Opinions are ours to make up as we go, but facts are facts. GMO technology has so far delivered nothing but economic hardship for farmers and increased pesticide presence in our environment. Not to mention unknowable health and ecological risks. Maybe someday a benign or beneficial use for the technology will emerge, but until then we can all enjoy the unique opportunity to live in the midst of the largest scientific experiment in human history as unpaid subjects. Thankfully his opinion is in the minority around here, and I would suggest that Mr. Hoover visit the corn and soy deserts of the Midwest to see this benign tech at work. Steve Lowe, Arcata

Old School, New Ideas Editor: When I was reading last week’s cover article “Get to Work,” about how the Building Trades class (and other vocational programs) would be losing their funding, I couldn’t help but feel frustrat-

ed. 1) Because it hurts the whole of our community to not value our plumbers, carpenters, auto repairmen, etc. (just imagine your typical AP English student trying to fix your car … ), 2) Having trade programs increases local employment rates and reduces violence and use of drugs, and 3) These programs could be profit generating rather than dependent on Sacramento and Washington. I couldn’t help but wonder if there was any way for schools to think more like a business in order to keep these vocational classes. Why should they depend on the whims of government funding? Couldn’t there be a mechanism in the community to support programs like Building Trades where everyone benefits? The article itself mentions that the houses built by the students sell and the program breaks even. The problem is that the school has to advance the cost. Why? A prospective homeowner could fork the bill for the lot purchase and building materials — and in return they get a custom house built at a huge reduction in cost. Or, how about integrating a class where students are in charge of defending the project to potential investors? You have now created a new class of young community members trained in a valuable skill set: Understanding the real estate market, making wise business decisions, and pitching them to investors. I am unfamiliar with all of the many potential bureaucratic hang-ups to these ideas, but it seems to me that it is time for Humboldt County to work toward its own solutions. Karin Roscoe, Arcata

Do Robots Dream of Electric Bud? Editor: How come the carpenters had to take a jab at the cannabis growers? Carpenters may be less annoying than drug farmers, but drug money provides many jobs for local carpenters and tradespeople (not to mention the giant pickup truck mechanics, who are indebted to both groups). And the high-tech urban white-collar workers are ultimately responsible for buying the drugs that prop up this economy. We’re all connected. Anyway, what we really need

are high school students who build robots that grow cannabis, build houses, and automatically drive huge pickup trucks. Nathaniel Page, Arcata

Fortuna author is using her work to convert a family tragedy into an opportunity for others. Jennifer Bailey, who writes young adult fiction under the pen name J. Lynn Bailey, is donating all of the profits from her upcoming book, Standing Sideways, to a scholarship fund that honors her cousin, Jason Dale Johnson. Johnson and nine others were killed in a shooting at Umpqua Community College on Oct. 1, 2015. The scholarship is for returning students in the Addiction Studies program, a choice Bailey says acknowledges her cousin’s return to education and to life after struggling with addiction, a triumph that was tragically cut short. Bailey, 35, is no stranger to struggle herself. She got clean and sober in 2009, a life development she credits with reviving her love of writing. As a child, she filled notebooks with her work, but in high school she drifted away from the craft, sliding into alcoholism. Her cousin Jason went down a similar road, becoming addicted to methamphetamines after leaving Fortuna High School in 2000. The cousins were close in childhood, with Jason’s twin brother Michael rounding out what their family called the “Three Musketeers.” Bailey, at a year and a half older than the twins, was often accused of being bossy. “He’d say, ‘You’re not the boss of us, Jenn,’” Bailey recalls, her voice quavering slightly. The children of two single mothers, the three cousins grew up more or less like siblings. “Jason had a way of calling me out on my shit, you know?” says Bailey. “He had a way of pointing out things point blank that I didn’t see about myself.” When Bailey got into recovery at the age of 28, she began returning the favor. “I would call him, and say, ‘You are capable of so much more,’” she says. “You are so smart, you are so good at math. You need to go back to college.” He brushed her off: “You’re not the

boss of me, Jenn.” Bailey, who was busy raising two young children, managing her career as a transcript evaluator at College of the Redwoods and launching her debut novel Black Five, which was picked up as a series by Poorhouse Publishing in 2014, fell out of touch with her cousin, who was then living in Oregon. He would still call her every year on her birthday, and comment on her kids’ pictures on Facebook. On Monday, Sept. 28, 2015, she noticed that he had posted on the site, asking if anyone could give him a ride to Umpqua Community College, in Roseburg, Oregon. “You’re going to college?” she asked him, excited. Johnson replied that, yes, he was. He had gone through a rehabilitation program at the Salvation Army and was six months clean and sober. He earned his GED through the Salvation Army and had enrolled in general education classes. “He had that zest for life that I hadn’t seen since we were kids,” says Bailey. Four days later, on a Thursday morning, 26-year-old Umpqua student Chris Harper-Mercer would walk into Johnson’s writing class, carrying a backpack full of firearms. After firing a warning shot into the ceiling, he began to interrogate and then shoot people, beginning with the class’s professor. He allegedly asked Johnson if he believed in God. Johnson said yes. Harper-Mercer told him good, he would send him to see God, then shot and killed him. In the chaotic days following the shooting, Bailey went to Oregon to help with the funeral and grieve with her family. She learned more about her cousin’s new life when she was there. A friend of Johnson’s approached her after the service and told her he would come to her house when he was trying not to use and help her daughter with her homework. “He always had a love for kids and animals; they were just drawn to him,” Bailey says, her voice breaking again.

When she returned to work a week later, her coworkers had developed a plan. They suggested a perpetual scholarship in Johnson’s name. Community members donated to the Jason Johnson Triumphant Return Scholarship, which launched in the fall 2016 semester. In the first year, the scholarship awarded two students $150 each. Scholarship requirements include a minimum 2.0 GPA, a completed application and a short essay describing any income barriers the student may have. Like Johnson, eligible students must be returning to school after some time away. Last year the money went to two single mothers, which Bailey says Johnson would have liked. Jesse Genaro, a childhood friend of both Bailey and Johnson, says that he was a “very, very loyal friend.” “He was very family-oriented,” Genaro says. “He would stick up for family and friends at the drop of a dime.” Bailey, Genaro says, is much the same. Bailey says her next book, which she is self-publishing in order to donate the maximum amount of money to the scholarship, was extremely difficult to write at first. She cried a lot. The story focuses around a 17-year-old girl, Livia Stone, who loses her twin brother and has to figure out how to redefine herself and navigate life without him. “I wrote 70,000 words, which is a full length novel, and scrapped all of it,” Bailey says. “I couldn’t find Livia’s voice. I didn’t want it to be my voice. But I knew it was something in me that had to get out there. For someone struggling with alcoholism, drug addiction, grief, this book might help them. It’s a happy ending, I promise.” Standing Sideways should be out next spring. ● Linda Stansberry is a staff writer at the Journal.

n my fantasy dinner parties, Lost Coast Outpost Editor Hank Sims is a frequent guest. I am socially reluctant so I don’t host actual dinner parties. I invite him because he says thought-provoking, conversation-stimulating things. If you didn’t tune in June 14 to KHSU’s Thursday Night Talk you should stream the podcast. As part of her new Race Beat, Lorna Bryant focused on online comments. The on-air discussion was with Sims, along with KHSU’s new director Peter Fretwell, North Coast Journal News Editor Thadeus Greenson, HSU Native American Studies professor Cutcha Risling Baldy and Donn Peterson of the local chapter of the NAACP. For the record, Bryant and Greenson were both my students. Bryant also serves with me on the board of the Humboldt Center for Constitutional Rights. Sims has taught in my department at Humboldt State and first recruited me for this column. I only met Fretwell once. I have never met Cutcha but she now also comes to my fantasy dinner parties. In real life, people like Sims and Cutcha don’t know they come my parties. They stay inside my pea brain as does 99.9 percent of my thoughts. Of the 0.1 percent that sneaks out, I regret saying another 90 percent. I rarely tweet and I don’t participate in online comments. I wish more people were as social-media reluctant. Back to Bryant’s show, which was spurred by a letter from the NAACP to local media calling for restraints on online comments. The NAACP was concerned — in the wake of the murder of HSU student Josiah Lawson — about the racial vitriol spewed by anonymous commenters on the Outpost’s and Journal’s websites. In describing the Outpost’s comment section, Sims said this: “It is a place where people sort of vent their id.” Hearing this, I said “Yes! Exactly!” That’s the crux of the whole damn problem. We aren’t supposed to vent our id. Basic Freudian psychology says that our id is our unfiltered instincts and we have the Superego to keep that in check. The id is where we house our nasty.

There is a great scene in the great Spike Lee movie, Do the Right Thing, where Spike creates a montage of people of various ethnicities and cultural and religious backgrounds in one Brooklyn neighborhood who each spew racial remarks against each other. It was a recognition that we all have racist or sexist or homophobic or misogynistic or creepy, lecherous thoughts in our heads. In the safety of our imagination, we murder or sexually fantasize about each other. In my fantasy world, I am such a mean person it is amazing I have enough friends to invite to my parties. Online anonymity allows people to barf to the world thoughts that civility dictates should stay in their heads. I don’t subscribe to the notion that if you have nothing nice to say you should say nothing. But I do believe that you should not say something about someone if you would not say it to their face. Sims argues that maybe it is better to know how much hatred is out there. When Bryant said the experiences that she and Peterson, as people of color, have different experiences than do Greenson and Sims, who are white. Sims said: “The reason I don’t doubt that your experience and Donn’s experience is different is because I see it written out day after day. And I wonder if it is not good to document that.” That’s where we disagree. I don’t think it is good. There are two fantasy worlds out there. There is the world in which I am extremely popular and host the most fascinating parties in all of Humboldt County. And then there is the fantasy world where I am a really, really mean person. They co-exist. It serves no one any good to know I have pretend murdered them. The world functions because the vast number of us who think about picking up a weapon don’t actually do that. And it serves no one to know that these thoughts, which will not be acted on, exist. Supporters of online anonymity fail to understand that the First Amendment protection of free speech is intended Continued on page 11 »

to protect minority speech, not the majority opinion. The majority already has a protected forum. It’s the safety that comes with numbers. If you don’t protect speech, you end up with an out of control mob mentality. We are seeing this online with internet crowd-shaming. Harvard scholar Cass Sunstein wrote about two frightening dynamics. People will censor themselves when their information disagrees with the crowd. And when like-minded people converse, their positions get more extreme. Put those two together and it could seem that there are more extremists than actually exist. People end up saying stuff that might represent only part of who they actually are. They show the ugly part of themselves that is in a lot of us. We live in a community that is 80 percent white. That’s an intimidating crowd if you are in the 20 percent composed of blacks, Latinos, Native Americans, Asians and any mix of ethnicities. The mob of online commenters who scream out stuff in the comfort of their crowd size can intimidate people into silence who are outside the crowd. In its letter to local media, the NAACP called for three things: Outright removal of public commentary altogether; or strict monitoring or vetting of posts before they are viewed publicly; or the option to post only if the identity of the poster has been confirmed through a process. Bigger, national publications are reforming the way they handle comments. Huffington Post has been taking comments to articles only through Facebook. The New York Times is moving toward an algorithm-based robot moderator. At the North Coast Journal, human beings go through the comments and pull out hate speech. At the Outpost, there are different forums for anonymous comments and all comments go through a word filter that filters out

some racist comments. Also, commenters are allowed to flag each other for offensiveness. I propose this: How about if you give people only one chance per article to comment? They can speak their mind once. But they can’t then reply to someone else’s comment. You won’t have a thread disintegrate into a moronic back and forth. It might get people to take an extra second to compose their thought if they knew they only had one chance. Many newspapers have a letters to the editor policy that limits the number of times any one person can get published. This opens up space for more opinions. If you speak at a city council meeting you only have one chance to do so, for a limited time period. This is so more people can speak. Perhaps news organizations like the North Coast Journal and Outpost could also do some outreach. Perhaps it is time for invited comments. If I were black, I would be leery about commenting on a thread that seems to be all crazy white people (if you can sense color online). But maybe I would comment if the editor of the organization invited me and encouraged me to do so. I do believe in the free marketplace of ideas that is the backbone of the First Amendment. That better speech will counteract bad speech. But I also recognize the limitations of the First Amendment; we can’t let people yell fire in a crowded theater. Online, we have to create spaces in which people feel safe to speak. And we have to be careful not to create a forum for speech that incites a mob to set fire to crowded theater. In my fantasy dinner conversations, I never allow that. l Marcy Burstiner is a journalism professor at Humboldt State University. Except in this column, she does try to keep her opinions to herself.

Week in Weed

End This Insanity By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

B Now the official flagship dispensary for

urnt marijuana — it’s a smell everyone on the North Coast knows well, whether you’re a habitual smoker or never touch the stuff. It hangs in Old Town’s doorways and alleys, wafts across beaches and between redwoods. It’s everywhere. So I ask you, has that scent ever made you fear for your life? It feels like a silly question as I write it but it’s deadly serious. According to a Bureau of Criminal Apprehension’s transcript, just hours after he fatally shot Philando Castile during a routine traffic stop, Minnesota police officer Jeronimo Yanez told investigators the smell weighed into his calculus that his life was in danger. Yanez, recently acquitted of a manslaughter charge in the case, said he smelled the “burnt marijuana” as he approached the car in which Castile had been driving his girlfriend and her young daughter. “I thought, I was gonna die,” Yanez said during the interview the day after the shooting. “And I thought, if he’s, if he has

the, the guts and the audacity to smoke marijuana in front of the 5-year-old girl and risk her lungs and risk her life by giving her secondhand smoke and the front seat passenger doing that same thing then what, what care does he give about me? And, I let off the rounds and then after the rounds were off, the little girl was screaming.” As many have seen on video of the traffic stop, Castile informs Yanez in a calm voice that he has a firearm in the car. The officer repeatedly — in an increasingly loud voice — tells Castile not to take it out. Castile calmly says he isn’t. Barely seven seconds after Castile alerts him to the presence of a gun in the vehicle, Yanez fires seven shots into the car, killing him. The case is horrible in every possible way and raises a host of questions, chief among them simply whether Castile would be alive today if he were white instead of black. We can now add the question of whether Castile would be alive if he’d been

smoking a cigarette, which surely would show similar disregard for his passengers’ health. How about if he’d been drinking a beer? Did the smell of pot smoke make a police officer think he was confronting someone with no regard for human life — or was that officer grasping at straws to talk his way out of a bad shooting? And would Yanez have done the same had Castile been white? Either way, it’s yet another horrible example of the failures of marijuana prohibition that has been used to criminalize many otherwise law-abiding, decent people, especially those of color. And amid news of Yanez’s acquittal, Humboldt was watching a local trial that spotlights the ills of black market cannabis. Billy Joe Giddings was found guilty of second degree murder Tuesday — his co-defendant Robert Louis Huntzinger was acquited of all charges — for the death of a man in the course of a marijuana deal gone wrong, according to a report by Rhonda Parker of the Lost Coast Outpost. Her thorough coverage of the trial showed a case rife with testimony about leery buyers and sellers, armed with guns, in a shady black market transaction. Perhaps most shocking was testimony that after 38-year-old Trevor Mark Harrison was fatally shot, his mother, Kay Haug, and her caregiver worked to hide 20 pounds of

marijuana before calling police, as Harrison lay bleeding to death on the kitchen floor. These two stories help illustrate — whether through Reefer Madness hysteria, racist dehumanization or deep-seated fear of prosecution — the war on pot’s ever-rising death toll. Cannabis prohibition has done nothing to prevent marijuana use and has demonized and criminalized users, while creating an unregulated black market that has artificially inflated the price of weed to the point where people bring guns to simple business transactions. And amid all this, there’s a rampant paranoia that would never exist with any legal vice. It’s time for the federal government to end cannabis prohibition and concede the war on pot is senseless. It’s time for Congress to stand up and say never again should a police officer point to the scent of marijuana smoke as an acceptable contributing factor to a fatal shooting, and never again should people have to choose between helping a dying man and potentially sacrificing their freedom over a plant. This is all insane and it needs to end. l Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor. Reach him at 4421400, extension 321, or thad@ northcoastjournal.com. Follow him on Twitter @thadeusgreenson.

Alleged Energy Scam Has Eureka Residents Upset

video of a Humboldt Hill resident chasing two alleged scammers down the street while exchanging insults has generated more than 84,000 views on Facebook. The video, posted last week by Bill Yeater and shared on several crime-oriented Facebook groups, shows a young man and woman walking rapidly away from Yeater, who is holding two pitbulls on leashes. Yeater says in his post that the people came to his door to do a “PG&E survey.” “I know what you guys are doing, you’re trying to harvest our information,” says Yeater. “IGS Energy buddy, it’s a real company,” replies the woman. “You’re an ugly, nerdy dude with no pussy in your life,” says the man, who pulls the young woman away from taking a photograph of Yeater. Yeater tells the duo that he has “protection” along with his pitbulls. “You’d better get out of this neighborhood,” he adds, saying that the sheriff is on the way. The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that it responded to Yeater’s call, but no report was taken. The video has generated a storm of comments from Humboldt County residents alleging that scammers are casing their homes, committing identity theft or tracking marijuana grows. These rumors have become common on neighborhood

But according to Pacific Gas & Electric spokesperson Deanna Contreras, most door-knockers like this duo are benign. They are most likely Core Transport Agents who are trying to convince you to switch your natural gas supplier. PG&E has a list of certified CTAs available here, although the company cautions that it does not officially endorse any of them. Contreras added that there’s nothing illegal about door-to-door sales in which customers are persuaded to go with a different gas provider, and that PG&E will continue to provide infrastructure support to customers using a different company. But she warns that some of the sales tactics are aggressive or even illegal.

“PG&E has seen an increase in customers with concerns about ‘impostors’ using PG&E’s name and logo in person and engaging in door-to-door ‘scams,’” reads Contreras’ official statement. “Sometimes they turn out to be solicitors from alternative energy companies trying to get people to switch their service with aggressive sales tactics.” These tactics may include wearing clothing or lanyards with PG&E’s logo, dropping the company’s name in their sales patter, or asking to see a customer’s gas bill. (Redwood Coast Energy Authority reports it has also received calls about this issue, as door-to-door salespeople have dropped the nonprofit’s name.) Contreras has heard of customers being switched to another gas company without consent after having given their PG&E account number to a sales rep. In the video, the woman identifies

Three Strikes

Another DA down in Del Norte

he office had just emerged from what Del Norte County Assistant District Attorney Katherine Micks describes as “a very dark time,” and there was, she says, a genuine sense of optimism when Dale Trigg was elected in 2014. Over the ensuing three years, Micks says, Trigg emerged as the “competent, ethical leader that we hoped he would be.” “He was an attorney we had worked with for a while and knew to be a very good attorney, and ethical, and someone that we could really get behind and be confident in,” Micks says. For a time, it seemed, the office could let out a collective sigh of relief. Just one year before Trigg’s arrival, the previous district attorney, Jon Alexander, had been stripped of his law license for prosecutorial misconduct and escorted from the premises. His predecessor Michael Riese had faced his own issues with prescription drug use and at one point county officials

urged him to take a leave of absence due to erratic behavior at work. But the new hope that Trigg offered proved short-lived. Earlier this month, he suddenly pulled up stakes over a salary dispute, dropping off a letter of resignation and moving out of town almost overnight. Within a week, he was 2,000 miles away at a new job in a new city. Now uncertainty surrounding the future of the office’s leadership has returned. Soon, the county will begin taking applications to fill the district attorney post until the next election cycle in 2018. Micks, a Eureka High School graduate who grew up in Freshwater, finds herself back in familiar territory, once again charged with keeping the office of three deputy prosecutors on track in the interim. Micks took the helm after Alexander’s ouster and developed a reputation for being a steady hand in a time of turmoil. Trigg, members of the board of supervi-

sors, attorneys and the sheriff all voiced confidence in her ability to do the job. She says the office is set up to carry on despite changes in management — expected or unexpected — and that’s what she and the staff will do, respecting whatever decision the board of supervisors makes. “Realistically,” she says, “the office functions regardless of who is in the district attorney’s chair.” To understand the calm that Trigg initially brought to the office, one needs to understand the chaos that had come before. Internal conflicts and controversy were common threads tying together the administrations of Riese and Alexander, whose bitter rivalry is on par with that of Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton. While their proverbial feud has been dueled out along the campaign trail and in newspaper pages rather than a clearing in the woods, the two men continue to accuse one another of orchestrating plots

to bring the other down. The latest chapter in their simmering dispute landed before an appellate court panel in November. Neither emerged unscathed. Riese brought the civil action against Alexander and other county officials after he was charged with driving under the influence, public intoxication and child endangerment following an incident in 2011, when he was found disorientated and acting erratically in a Crescent City grocery store. A store employee called 911. A court summary of the events states that a “Safeway employee told the officers that Riese appeared confused and disoriented and ‘had difficulty standing in place and was unable to slide his credit card through the card machine.’” Riese was also, apparently, unable to use a cellphone, so an officer called his girlfriend to take him home. His attorney labeled the case (which Continued on page 17 »

was prosecuted by an attorney from the California Office of the Attorney General due to conflicts of interest) a “small town vendetta.” Riese was acquitted by a jury after representing himself but the appellate justices upheld a lower court decision that found he failed to show malicious prosecution in the civil matter. At least one judge, however, agreed there was an appearance of retaliation, describing Alexander’s actions as “reprehensible,” especially given that he considered “taking another crack” at Riese in a separate incident, despite being advised that was “crazy.” “I guess what I’m saying is, it suggests your client really did have a vendetta against the man and this case never should have been brought,” Ninth Circuit Judge Paul Watford told Alexander’s attorney. Watford’s colleague Judge Richard Clifton, meanwhile, noted “it’s very hard for me to see how there was not probable cause for the arrest and the charges” given the evidence about Riese’s behavior in the store, some of which was caught on tape. “Seems to me this kind of screams out for saying, ‘Well, there may not be enough for a conviction.” But probable cause? That didn’t seem very hard to me given the facts,” he said. Riese says he brought the lawsuit as a “proactive measure to protect me from continuous filings by Jon,” but blames his courtroom loss on ineffective counsel. “It was reprehensible what he did, and I carry the burden,” he says. The bitter rivalry between the men started soon after Riese fired Alexander, who had been serving as his deputy district attorney, back in 2005.

Alexander would unsuccessfully challenge Riese for election the next year only to mount a successful bid in 2010, when his former boss was narrowly knocked out of contention in the primary election. The end of Riese’s second term — and by extension his reelection campaign — had been dogged by news reports of bizarre behavior that included removing his shirt while at work, as well being pulled over by police on suspicion of driving under the influence, although he was never charged. The leaking of the county’s letter and an anonymous tip that led to at least one of his traffic stops were politically-motivated, he says. In a recent phone interview with the Journal, Riese says he was simply pushing himself too hard at work despite suffering from medical issues — including a bout of pneumonia and pleurisy — that he had been upfront about at the time. He says he was also an “open book” about his use of fentanyl — the same powerful painkiller that killed Prince and Michael Jackson — while he put off knee surgery to avoid leaving the district attorney’s office short staffed. “Just because you become the DA doesn’t make you perfect and impervious to life,” he says. Riese also makes it clear that he doesn’t see the point of dredging up the past. “I don’t feel like defending myself eight years later and tying it to the integrity of the district attorney’s office,” Riese says. “It’s not fair to the office.” Alexander’s own victory in 2010, meanwhile, was fleeting.

sion to top prosecutor on a “Death to Meth” campaign had been heralded as the ultimate redemption story would soon find himself with a new dubious distinction: Alexander is the only sitting district attorney in the history of California to be disbarred while in office. Alexander ties his own troubles back to a conspiracy against him, an argument found to have no merit by a panel of State Bar of California Judges. While the panel acknowledged that more than 200 people either testified on his behalf or signed petitions “attesting to his integrity and good character and expressing their hope that he will be able to continue his service as their district attorney,” the judges found his long history of discipline and the immediate circumstances made disbarment warranted. At the heart of the case was a discussion Alexander had with a criminal defendant — without her attorney’s consent in violation of court rules meant to protect the rights of the accused — without passing along information she provided that might have exonerated another defendant in the meth case. Unknown to Alexander, the conversation was taped. “Alexander has shown no insight into the seriousness of his wrongdoing and instead views his misconduct as a ‘momentary error of judgment,’” the opinion states. “He is wrong.” Alexander says in an email to the Journal that he “made a mistake” in talking with the woman who had burst into his office but he’d never “intentionally buried, hidden or deprived a defendant of exculpatory evidence and I did not in that case.” Still, Alexander says he kept his campaign promise to “wage war on that demon that once took me down” and stands by the work accomplished during his time in office. “During those two years, we took more cases to trial than at any other similar time during recorded court history,” he writes. “We sent more felons to state prison as well as getting more people into recovery during that time and I am proud of the job we did during that time.” Micks, however, describes Alexander’s tenure as “probably the darkest time that we’ve had here.” “It was lot of things, not the least of which was his ethics, and his methods, dealing with cases and dealing with employees,” she says. For his part, Alexander publically criticized the office’s operations under her leadership. Micks, who was hired and later pro-

moted to assistant district attorney by Riese, says she thought he was a good attorney and didn’t have any issues working for him in the beginning. But, things changed. “Some personal issues started to affect him and the office during the last part of his term,” she says. Riese says he’s proud of his time as district attorney and credits the prosecutors in his office and the efforts of local law enforcement for his successes, saying he “sure didn’t do it by myself.” “I was district attorney a long time ago,” he says. “If people want to say I was a good DA or a bad DA, they have their First Amendment right to do so.” While he might have miscalculated his ability to “nurse himself” while waiting to get knee surgery, Riese says he fulfilled his term in office, which is more than can be said for Trigg. “Whether he ran the office well or not, I have my frustrations when people don’t understand they are public servants,” he says. Trigg had only lived in Del Norte County for about two years when he launched his successful bid to become district attorney on a platform touting his “fresh perspective” and promises to run a principled, drama-free office. The son of a Los Angeles sheriff ’s deputy and a school teacher, Trigg mingled details of his professional and personal life on his campaign website — including a 1999 letter of reference from former senator and U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft, whom he’d worked for during a break from his law studies. There was a black and white photo of his father in uniform along with images of Trigg and his wife cuddling their young daughters or out enjoying the region’s scenic beauty with their two yellow Labrador retrievers — Duke and Daisy — fetching sticks on the beach. The campaign painted a portrait of a family man with a law and order background who had set down new roots with his young family, ready to settle in for the long haul. “Joanna and I are very pleased that Elizabeth and Catherine will grow up in such a beautiful place with so many wonderful people,” he wrote in his introduction to voters. It’s not hard to see how this would prove a winning strategy in the context of a small, rural community that had just weathered back-to-back district attorneys whose personal issues overshadowed their tenures. While Trigg may have garnered his shared of critics over the ensuring years,

Up and Down in Del Norte November, 2002 Michael Riese wins his first bid to become Del Norte County district attorney. He had previously served in the position on an interim basis after a previous DA stepped down shortly after winning an election in 1998. January, 2005 Jon Alexander is hired by Riese as a deputy district attorney, but is fired after four months on the job. According to court documents, Riese stated the decision was made because the State Bar had placed Alexander on probation. June, 2006 Riese defeats Alexander to take his second term in office following a rancorous campaign. November, 2009 The county’s then administrative officer urges Riese to take time off over concerns about his prescription drug use and bizarre behavior in the office. She pens the letter, made public in a March of 2010 Triplicate story, a day after Riese is pulled over for a sobriety test but not arrested. He denies being under the influence. June, 2010 Riese tries for a third term in office but is narrowly defeated in the primary election for a run-off berth against Alexander. November, 2010 Alexander takes the district attorney post by a mere 196 votes after running on a “Death to Meth” platform. A recovering addict, his victory was touted as the ultimate redemption story. July, 2011 Alexander talks with a criminal defendant in a meth case without her attorney present, fails to disclose the conversation and lies about the incident. August, 2011 Employees of a Crescent City grocery store call 911 after Riese is observed appearing confused and disoriented. A responding police officer reports he calls Riese’s girlfriend to pick him up because he is unable to use a cell phone. The case is handed over to the California Department of Justice. February, 2012 A jury acquits Riese, who represented himself, of driving under the influence, child endangerment and public

the headlines he received were about the cases before his office, not his own troubles. “We knew that Dale would back us up,” Micks says. “He wasn’t ever out there trying to make his staff look bad, which was a large difference from the prior administration.” But that era came to an end this month when Trigg penned a very different letter to county officials and his constituents. Unlike the optimistic words of his campaign message three years earlier, this one was edged in frustration and announced

intoxication charges stemming from the Safeway incident. April, 2013 A State Bar Court judge suspends Alexander’s right to practice law and recommends he be disbarred for engaging in several incidents of prosecutorial misconduct. The Del Norte County Board of Supervisors suspends him without pay and Assistant District Attorney Katherine Micks takes the helm. November, 2013 A judge dismisses a separate driving under the influence case against Riese in connection with an April of 2012 arrest, according to Triplicate reports, which the paper states was filed after Alexander solicited surrounding counties for a prosecutor. June, 2014 Dale Trigg is elected as Del Norte’s next district attorney on a platform touting his fresh perspective and promises to run a principled, drama-free office. He is sworn into office a few weeks later.

August, 2014 A federal judge dismisses Riese’s civil lawsuit against Alexander and several county and city officials, which alleged malicious prosecution in the Safeway case. November, 2014 Alexander is formally disbarred by the California Supreme Court more than one year after a State Bar judge recommended his law license be stripped. The Review Department of the State Bar Court had denied Alexander’s appeal alleging discriminatory prosecution earlier in 2014. December, 2016 An appellate court upholds a lower court’s decision to dismiss Riese’s malicious prosecution case. During courtroom arguments by attorneys one month earlier, a judge called Alexander’s actions “reprehensible” and said it appeared he had a vendetta against Riese. June, 2017 Trigg suddenly resigns from office with a few hours of notice, saying county officials failed to address salary inequities despite promises to the contrary.

said, fair is fair. I know for a fact that I am the only DA in the state of California, probably in the country, who makes less than his/her ADA.” County officials say the situation is more complicated than Trigg makes it out to be, with the district attorney’s salary negotiations tied directly to those of other elected county officials. Efforts were under way, they say, to level the playing field across the board. “I guess his patience wasn’t as well structured as I had hoped,” says Supervisor Chris Howard. Supervisor Roger Gitlin, who called Trigg an excellent district attorney, expressed similar sentiments. “He chose not to fulfill his four-year commitment and I’m a little disturbed by that, but it’s water under the bridge now,” Gitlin says. Within a week of leaving his elected post, Trigg was more than 2,000 miles away, sitting behind a different desk at a civil law firm in Springfield, Missouri. Reached recently at Wallace Saunders Attorneys at Law, Trigg says he has great respect for the office and Micks, but county officials dragged their feet too long on rectifying the pay discrepancy. “For $30,000, they would have been able to keep a district attorney who has never been on the front page for personal reasons, which to me seems like a small price to pay to have that continuity and stability there,” Trigg says. He says the “chaotic” 12 years before he took over left Del Norte County residents with little confidence in the office, which Trigg says became “a kind of laughing stock of the state.” “I had a drama-free workplace,” Trigg says. “I didn’t have any personnel issues to speak of and I didn’t have any personal issues that affected my ability to do my job.” Defense attorney James Fallman, who worked as a Del Norte County prosecutor for 14 years, including time under Riese, says he believes the main issue with the office’s leadership over the years boils down to an eight-letter word: politics. While he gave Trigg’s tenure a lukewarm review at best, saying he was “shocked when he left but not sorry,” Fallman says the district attorney’s pay rate does pose a hurdle in attracting well-qualified candidates. “If they raise the salary up quite a bit, it might be attractive,” he says. While, like many of those interviewed for this story, Fallman declined to delve Eureka 442-2527 into the controversies surrounding Riese Burre Center and Alexander, he calls Trigg’s perfor-

“I guess his patience wasn’t as well structured as I had hoped.” — Supervisor Chris Howard. mance in office just “one step above” that of his predecessors. “I have never in 43 years of practicing law in three states seen a more unprofessional act of just walking away as an elected official,” he says. Alexander, meanwhile, has been facing a new set of struggles. His says losing the ability to practice law was like losing a part of himself, but almost dying in a car wreck and now battling cancer has allowed him “time for contemplative reflection.” Yet that reflection hasn’t changed Alexander’s mind that Riese was a principal source of his past professional troubles, even as he looks toward the future. “That said, I try not to be bitter (and) pray that I am once again allowed to practice in a career I devoted my life and heart to,” Alexander writes in his email. Regardless of the opinions here on the North Coast, Trigg has returned back to his roots, in a way, practicing law in the same town where he first started his career nearly 20 years ago. While he knew leaving with no warning would likely stir controversy, Trigg says he felt it was a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” situation. Giving notice, Trigg says, would leave the office in limbo with a lame duck DA at the helm. Instead, he says, he worked to get the office in order and prepared for a smooth transition when the time came for him to exit. ”I feel like I did a good job and, when I left, I feel that the people on my staff were sad to see me go,” Trigg says. “They liked working with me and liked the leadership I brought to my office.” As for what’s next for Del Norte’s top law enforcement position, perhaps the block-type message on the county’s district attorney’s office website says it best: “THIS PAGE IS CURRENTLY BEING UPDATED, PLEASE CHECK BACK SOON.” ● Kimberly Wear is the assistant editor and a staff writer at the Journal.

Table Talk

Potato Salad Fight

Bridging the divide with two kinds By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

ant to start a fight at a barbecue? Two words: potato salad. Googling settles most quibbling over when to flip a burger or how long the chicken should cook. However, regional, familial and personal tastes, nay, mores regarding this picnic staple go deep and will not be moved. I love potato salad, so I try it at every backyard cookout and potluck, which, my dear friend reminds me, is high-risk behavior. OK, he says that about all food cooked in the kitchens of strangers and, given his years in food service, it makes sense he regards room-temperature baked potatoes like foil-wrapped botulism grenades. And while we’ve all heard horror stories about family reunions laid to waste by a negligent relative’s paprika-dusted Tupperware of poison, potato salad comes with aesthetic risks, too. I admit to a self-destructive thrill, taking that first bite, not knowing if it’s going to be the standard mayo or the weird sweetness of Miracle Whip “dressing.” Still, even I know not to bother trying the salad when the potatoes are in slices, all glossy and sliding around in too much goop. Supermarket delis, in general, are Russian roulette, though I admit a brief dalliance with the loaded baked potato variety at WinCo. Don’t judge. We’ve all got a past. Central to the potato salad conflict is the schism over mayonnaise, which you cannot resolve because people who hate mayo hate it in a visceral way. Keep the peace by offering a separate salad for each faction. Make the mayo-averse in your life feel accepted and welcome at your spread by serving a potato salad dressed with olive oil and freshly chopped cilantro. It’s light and flavorful with lemon juice, and it’s so quick to put together it’s nuts. If they also hate cilantro, you can sub in half a bunch of chopped flat leaf parsley, but

I urge you to consider at what cost you want to keep this friendship going. For those who embrace the mayo, whip up a Japanese potato salad. Yes, this is a thing — a savory, mashed-potato-meetsdeviled-egg thing. It even shows up as a sandwich filling because Japan is not afraid of starch-on-starch. With very little variation — hold the peas, toss in corn, maybe a little ham, some minced onion — this is the salad that shows up at Japanese picnics and convenience stores alike, the paper-thin vegetables adding texture to the creamy mash. It can be served warm right away or chilled. But swear you won’t leave it out for more than four hours max and swear — swear! — not to put it in the hot sun. Place the bowl atop another bowl filled with ice and set a passive-aggressive example for friends and family.

Cilantro Potato Salad Serves 10 3 pounds small new or red potatoes 2 teaspoons coarse salt for boiling 3 green onions, chopped finely ½ bunch cilantro, chopped ¼ cup olive oil juice of 1 small lemon 1 ½ teaspoons salt Place the potatoes in a pot with enough cold water to cover them. Add the salt and bring it to a boil, then the heat to medium-high. Cook for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until a stabbed potato slides easily off the knife by itself. Drain the potatoes and place them in a large bowl and move them to the refrigerator when they are slightly cooled. Once the potatoes are cold, cut them into halves or quarters, depending on how big they are. In a separate bowl, whisk the olive oil, lemon juice and salt

until it forms an emulsion. Pour the dressing over the potatoes and toss them until coated. Add the chopped green onion and cilantro and toss until they are incorporated. Taste and add salt as needed. Serve immediately or chilled.

Japanese Potato Salad Serves 10 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and quartered 2 teaspoons salt for boiling 2 ½ teaspoons rice vinegar ½ cup frozen peas, boiled or cooked in the microwave and cooled 1 carrot, quartered lengthwise and sliced paper thin 1 Japanese or Persian cucumber, cut lengthwise and sliced paper thin (½ a seeded English cucumber also works) 2 green onions, finely chopped 2 hard boiled eggs, chopped ¾ cup mayonnaise, preferably Kewpie more salt to taste Place the potatoes in a pot with enough cold water to cover them. Add the salt and bring it to a boil, then the heat to medium-high. Cook for another 10 minutes, or until a stabbed potato slides easily off the knife by itself. Drain the potatoes and place them in a large bowl. Sprinkle the potatoes with vinegar and mash them about halfway so that some lumps remain. Add the sliced vegetables, boiled egg and mayonnaise, and mix until thoroughly combined. Add salt to taste. Serve immediately or chilled. l Jennifer Fumiko Cahill is the Journal’s arts and features editor. Reach her at 442-1400, extension 320, or Jennifer@ northcoastjournal.com.

Art Beat

From Kiln Shed to Skate Park

Conrad Calimpong at Piante Gallery, skate art downtown By Gabrielle Gopinath artbeat@northcoastjournal.com

ne person throws a pot, one rides a board. Yet the subcultures that have grown up around ceramics and skateboarding center around membership in a group or tribe. This month’s Arts Alive! provides two opportunities to contemplate this dynamic. Piante Gallery features work by ceramicist Conrad Calimpong, who has been firing pots in his self-built Ferndale kiln since the 1970s. Meanwhile a skate art fundraiser features skateboard decks painted by local artists on display at seven Old Town venues. Julia Finkelstein, a skate enthusiast and member of Eureka arts collective Empire Squared from 2000-2011, said profits would support the purchase of skateboards, pads and helmets for local youth. “Skateboarding is important to kids in this area, especially kids who grow up poor,” she said, “but I know that there are lots of families that just can’t afford to buy skateboards for their kids.” She and Brad Hooper, co-owner of Humboldt Skatelab, organized the charity event in response to this need, soliciting exhibition entries from 20 artists with connections to the Humboldt skateboarding community, “most of whom grew up skateboarding.” Skateboard artists live complicated lives and at press time the roster of exhibition participants was still in flux, although Finkelstein was able to confirm that several artists from NorCal Tattoo would be part of the event. Originally conceived in southern California as a thing for surfers to do when the tide went out, skateboarding became an incubator for street style in its own right by the 1970s. Its mainstream popularity peaked in the 1990s, thanks to films like Thrashin’ (1986); in 2002, its decadence was reflected in teen-pop singer Avril Lavigne’s hit “Sk8r Boi.“ Soon afterward, the documentaries Dogtown and Z-Boys and Lords of Dogtown packaged skating’s underground origins for a mainstream audience. A skate deck is a conveniently sized piece of street culture that elite culture can feel good about wanting to embrace.

It’s vital, with kinetic potential rising up from street level — a platform for personal style so free and unselfconscious it speaks to viewers across the class spectrum. Today skate decks come up regularly on fine art auction sites. The nonprofit Skateroom works to bridge the worlds of skateboarding and fine art by holding auctions and commissioning limited edition decks from contemporary artists. Skateboarding brings the elite and the grassroots into conversation, even now — maybe that’s why political artists Ai Weiwei and Shepard Fairey made protest skateboards to mark the first 100 days of the Trump administration, with sales proceeds going to selected NGOs. In his first show at Piante Gallery, Ferndale ceramic artist Conrad Callimpong shows sculptures, pots and sculptures of pot forms fired in his hand-built kiln, which is loosely based on Southeast Asian kiln designs. In his statement, the artist emphasizes the slow and social nature of his firing process: “My kiln firing takes three days, with wood being fed into the kiln every few minutes around the clock. In this time we toss more than three cords of wood into the firebox. The labor-intensive and unpredictable nature of wood firing forces me to slow my pace and consider all aspects of the process.” Calimpong is drawn to the slow, laborious wood firing technique because it allows endless possibilities within a single process. “As the flame moves through the kiln, it touches each piece differently, leaving its mark and ash on the surface. The effects can be controlled somewhat by the way pieces are placed into the kiln and how the firing is controlled, but in the end you can never really control the entire process. This is the attraction for me: having control, but also allowing the process to have a part in the final outcome.” The artist’s earth-toned vessels and sake ware display gnarled, characterful surfaces and the unpredictable splatter patterns characteristic of wood firing. The flowing contours of his ceramic sculptures resolve into the shapes of goddesses, owls

and halibut. The works in his long-running series In Classical Shape use materials like firebrick, baling wire, driftwood, ceramic shards, paint cans, caulking tubes, cans and plastic bottles to recreate the form of a particular Sung Dynasty Tz’u Chou vase. “We as potters and ceramic artists have had to come to grips with living in a society where the articles that we make are no longer an integral and necessary part of life,” Calimpong writes. The sculptures in this series speak to how indelibly the ideals of proportion incarnated in great vessels may impress themselves on viewers’ minds, especially now that the sense of necessity originally prompting such vessels’ creation has lost much of its urgency. l

The exhibition Conrad Calimpong will be on view through July at Piante Gallery, 620 Second St., Eureka. Call 441-1322 or visit www.piantegallery. com. See more of Callimpong’s work at www.thekilnshed.net. Skate art can be seen at seven downtown Eureka venues: Humboldt Skatelab, the Works, Little Shop of Hers, Seemoor’s toy store, Philosopher’s Stone, CL Leathers, and The Shadow Gallery. Unnamed live artists will be making paintings and DJ Goldylocks will be spinning records at Humboldt Skatelab during the Arts Alive! event.

Setlist

Musical Drag By Andy Powell

thesetlist@northcoastjournal.com

wasn’t on top of my game enough to get in a column relevant to the other week’s Unpopular Opinions theme but I thought, even though late, why wouldn’t I want to get some hate mail as well? (See email address below.) What could be more unpopular than me telling you that your taste in music sucks? Musical taste is entirely subjective so you’d be just as right responding, “Well your taste sucks.” So how about this: Instead of me saying bluegrass and old-timey music sucks, I’ll just state that I don’t care for those genres and try to figure out why so many of my neighbors do. I’ve often thought about this as my wife is a fiddler who loves banjo and can’t stand my love of progressive rock. I, on the other hand, like music with a drum set and can’t stand whiskey references by suspender-wearing musicians. I’m mocked for listening to ’60s and ’70s music, but what is it about living in Humboldt that makes even older music hip? Beyond “I like the way it sounds” or the “It’s what my grandpappy listened to,” I think some of it has to do with living in a rural area similar in some key ways to Appalachia, where much of the music was born. Look at the cultural isolation — thanks to the mountains and self-reliance necessitated by the landscape — plus a healthy bit of moonshinin’ and black-market-outlaw mentality, and there are similarities. I’m oversimplifying, of course, but we’re not the easiest county to get to in California — remember when 101 was closed? Our mountainous landscape makes routes 36 and 299 treacherous to outsiders. Switch out whiskey for pot and we’ve got quite a bit in common. And many of us transplants came here expressly to get away from the rat race, to go somewhere less decimated by humankind, where there was still a bond — albeit vague and esoteric — to the land. With that desire, it’s not surprising a musical form crafted by forgotten poor, rural musicians would appeal to us salt-of-the-earth-firsters. We may not work the soil or run a still in our shed, but we drive our Priuses to the farmers market and know the name of the farmer who grows the corn we eat and the pineapple sage we smoke, with our values in stark contrast to the consumer-me-first mentality of the outside world. And why shouldn’t our music further fit into that hard-scrabble proletariat-DIY identity? Because it’s incredibly trite, formulaic appropriation. It’s drag. It’s putting on a

costume when other people are around. It’s putting on your spotless $150 Blundstones and your quaint and folksy suspenders and wax on your ironic mustache. It’s wearing your cowboy hat to the Folklife Festival two days out of the year. It’s playing an upright bass when it’s cheaper to play electric. It’s singing about a life that isn’t your own. It’s singing someone else’s story. It’s the musical equivalent of a Civil War reenactment (fine to keep alive as a historical relic but not something that should require dutiful and daily devotion.) It’s a projected image that reinforces who we want to be. Drag is a wonderful thing, as long as you realize it’s drag. If I have to listen to one more soft-handed studio art major singing about “working the family farm” or 20-year-old vegan singing about whiskey and women, I’m going to run home, pour the tequila, put on the headphones and crank Rush’s 2112. Now look, if you truly like wearing suspenders, never slow banjo solos, an endless root-fifth pattern on the upright bass and songs about whiskey, then more power to you. If you think your life in the 21st century, with your internal combustion engine, iPhone 6 plus and Instagram account is best summed up by art festishizing whiskey, saloons, cotton-picking, dusty Roanoke roads, then have at it. You do you. But that’s the point — really do you. Not some historically poached version of you. Music has the power to let us see ourselves in the future. Don’t be content with it being a museum piece. To all the old-timey fans who wear leather jackets; to all the bluegrass fans who love a snare drum, to all the rockers who don’t have tattoos, to all the reggae fans who don’t have dreadlocks, this column’s for you.

Thursday

Fred & Jr. (no relation) get the weekend underway at Mad River Brewery’s Tap Room this evening at 6 p.m. and they’ll be doing their swing/jazz thing for free while you enjoy the sunshine and local beer. Down in Arcata at The Miniplex, you’ll find the “finest in retro synth dark wave, think Siouxie and the Banshees for the David Lynch set,” courtesy of Troller out of Austin along with fellow Holodeck label mate Samantha Glass from Madison, Wisonsin. Rounding out the bill is noise artist Collin Gorman Weiland out of Minneapolis and locals Paint Shadows anchoring the 9 p.m.

32 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, June 29, 2017 • northcoastjournal.com

La Luz plays The Miniplex on Monday, July 3 at 9 p.m. Photo courtesy of the artists show. This show’s got a sliding scale from $5 up to $10.

Friday Classic Country music is on the bill this evening at the Mad River Brewery Tap Room courtesy of Orick’s Redwood Ramblers who are coming down to play for free around 6 p.m. Just a bit north, you’ll hear from The Jim Lahman Band laying down some “blues funk and good old rock ‘n’ roll” at The Westhaven Center for the Arts at 7 p.m. The band features Jim on vocals and guitar, Jim (no relation) on drums, Tim on bass and Ron on harmonica. Sliding scale of $5-20 will get you in the door for this one. Back up in ol’ Blue Lake you’ve got the father/son x2 band known as Doug Fir & the 2x4s playing the Blue Lake Casino and Hotel in the Wave Lounge at 9 p.m. for free. They’ll be in it for the long haul, playing until about 1 a.m. Starting around the same time, you can hear the USGGO (Ultra Secret Good Guy Association) at Six Rivers Brewery playing for free. Catch their improv-heavy jazz and feel free to leave a tip to show your appreciation.

Saturday

Local yokels The Yokels are returning to the Mad River Brewery at 6 p.m. doing their “rockabilly soul” thing for free. Vista Del Mar is hosting a rare appearance by the frontline of ShinBone at 8 p.m., comprised of Chas Southside Lewis on the harp and Robert Franklin on guitar, for free. When they hang it up, DJ Statik will spin the hits from the ’90s and early aughts. Roland Rock plays instrumentals and quirky originals at Siren’s Song Tavern tonight at 8:30 p.m., also for free. For something a bit more in the reggae vein, Humboldt Brews is the place to be as the Irie Rockers play their brand of reggae with influences from across the spectrum which will get you groovin’ and rockin’ on the dance floor around 9:30 p.m. $10 gets you in the door. There’s a special tribute to Chris Cornell tonight at The Jam starting around 10 p.m. Superunknown — comprised of local heavy-hitters Piet

Dalmolen on guitar, Pete Ciotti on drums, Tomek Zajaczkowski on the keys and Pat Quinn on the bass — will play songs from the Soundgarden, Temple of The Dog and Audioslave days as a tribute to a voice we recently lost. A $10 bill gets you in the door for this needed tribute.

Sunday

Local singer/songwriter Joanne Rand is joined by violin champ Rob Diggins along with fellow fiddler Jolianne Einem at the Westhaven Center for the Arts tonight at 7 p.m. to wrap up the weekend. You can get into this performance of seasoned musicians for a sliding scale of $5-20.

Monday The Miniplex hosts “surf sirens from Seattle” La Luz tonight along with new project from Chicago dweller Jeff T. Smith named Living Body and local favorites The Monster Women for this 9 p.m. $10 show.

Tuesday It’s America’s birthday so I hope you’ll be eating cake, watching fireworks or blowing shit up on your own to celebrate. We’re the Most No. 1 in the World and don’t let anyone tell you none otherwise. Moonalice alum and friends of Phil Lesh, Barry Sless, John Molo, Pete Sears and Rob Barraco are teaming up with singer Katie Skene as California Kind at Humboldt Brews tonight at 8 p.m. for an early show that’s $20. These pros have been on the jam scene for decades and bring top-tier experience to Humboldt County, so be kind, and hopefully they’ll be back before too long. l Full show listings in the Journal’s Music and More grid, the Calendar and online. Bands and promoters, send your gig info, preferably with a high-res photo or two, to music@northcoastjournal.com. Andy Powell is a congenital music lover and hosts The Album of the Week Show on KWPT 100.3 FM Tuesdays at 6 p.m. Hey reggae, be glad he hit his word limit.

Fun on the Fourth Photo by Debbie Tull

Ruff Enough Who’s a good doggie? Find out this weekend when Lost Coast Kennel Club hosts its 17th annual All Breed Dog Shows June 30-July 2 at the Humboldt County Fairgrounds (free admission, $5 parking). The event is your chance to see some of the top dogs in the country looking and doing their best during three days of conformation, obedience trials and rally. The show grounds open at 7 a.m. each day with competition beginning at 8:30 a.m. and going through Best in Show (generally late afternoon). This year’s extra fun events are the 4-to-6-month puppy class on Friday at 11 a.m. and the Pee Wee class for handlers aged 5-9. Sunday at noon. After Best in Show on Friday and Saturday, don’t miss the lure coursing “fun runs,” where dogs show off their speed, endurance and determination. Not only are the shows a great place to learn more about your favorite breed (talk to the experts!), you can also browse dog-related vendors, take part in an “exceptional” raffle and enjoy great food. Organizers say the event will most likely only go until about 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, so keep that in mind. And while you may be tempted to show off your fur babies’ good looks and talent (like I am), please leave them at home. Only dogs eligible to compete are allowed on the show grounds. Ruff. — Kali Cozyris

Boom

Movies to watch on Fourth of July weekend By Grant Scott-Gorforth filmland@northcoastjournal.com

But sure, I guess all lives matter. Blazing Saddles

Reviews What makes a movie “American”? Is it patriotic or critical? Is it about identity, individualism, team spirit or oppression? Is it set in the Wild West or a modern metropolis? Does it even have to be made by an American? This is a big question and maybe even more subjective than whether a movie is simply “good.” So what follows is a far-from-complete list of movies that to me are uniquely American or speak to an America that is, at turns, fearsome and fantastic. You know, something to enjoy as we celebrate our 241st.

The Loud

War is maybe America’s best known export, followed by the motion picture. I’m betting that a war film, not even a Western, popped into your head when you thought of an American movie. Francois Truffaut said that there’s no such thing as an anti-war film — that any time the camaraderie and thrill of war are put to celluloid, they inspire, rather than suppress, the bellicose spirit. That’s also subjective — Steven Spielberg said precisely the opposite, that every war film is anti-war. I don’t think either generalization is quite true but I lean toward Truffaut’s observation. Still, it’s harder to find a pair of films that better illustrate our modern wars than Kathryn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty. The controversies about those films’ messages show that patriotism is subjective and highlight the moral complexities of the wars we engage in post-9/11. If you’re looking for something a little more fun, let me admit that I unashamedly love Top Gun. It’s a fun, sweaty movie that hits all the beats of ’80s jingoism. A friend

of mine claims it was directly responsible for two of her cousins’ enlistment in the Air Force and I don’t doubt her. The allure of powerful fighter jets, the easy conflict of vague foreign enemies, the companionship (and thinly veiled romance) of military buddies, the good times of R&R — it’s all wildly misleading but fun as hell. (Bonus: Listen to Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood’s You’ve Lost that Loving Feeling.) No Fourth of July list would be complete without a pick containing the zany wonder of national treasure Nicolas Cage. National Treasure fits the bill with a Declaration of Independence heist at the center of the fun. But Con Air is always worth revisiting, and The Rock combines our love of fast cars, intercontinental ballistic missiles and prisons. And, does it get more American than punching Nazis? There’s never a bad time to watch Raiders of the Lost Ark and the only other two Indiana Jones movies ever made: The Temple of Doom and The Last Crusade. (If you’re wondering why we didn’t review the new Transformers this week, given that it appears to fit firmly in the ‘Merica genre, please accept this pair of excuses: I haven’t seen the first four, so the intricate mythmaking of the Transformers universe would’ve been lost on me; also I think you know what you’re getting into with a Transformers movie at this point you’re gonna go see it whether I rant or rave. If you love it, more power to you.)

The Quiet

Feeling more contemplative? If you haven’t seen Moonlight yet, do. It’s a touching study of American character and our freedom to construct our own identities — for better or worse. I’ve been thinking about the media lately — plenty of Americans have. I was

somewhat disappointed by the recently released Netflix documentary Nobody Speak but it’s worth watching for the sections on the Hulk Hogan v. Gawker lawsuit, and the ensuing precedents on free speech. For another stomach-churning exploration of media, fame and the all-consuming public, watch Ace in the Hole. All-American fella Kirk Douglas, directed by non-American (gasp!) Billy Wilder, is great. (Wilder’s filmography could probably populate this list. Outside looking in, I guess.) It’s black and white but it’s eerily timely. The Social Network is a surprisingly entertaining thriller but it’s also a look at the psychology that drove the rise of the biggest media company in the world, Facebook. And I know current events have put it back on your queue, but what better weekend to finally (re-)watch All the President’s Men?

The Rest

Make some time in your schedule for Tropic Thunder, maybe the funniest movie ever to skewer Hollywood and American obsession with war. Plus you get more Tom Cruise. I’m not sure there’s been a better American comedy than Mel Brooks’ and Richard Pryor’s Blazing Saddles. Race, politics and the brutally unfair “winning” of the West gets their fair shake. Also remarkably timeless. Looking for something a little darker? How American are chainsaws, Texas and massacres? Why not combine them all? Seriously, though, Tobe Hooper’s 1974 jewel The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is grim, terrifying and every bit as powerful today. It’s a sweltering masterpiece, reminiscent of the soaring temperatures we’ve been having in late June. It perverts the American family ideal and paved the

way for four decades of imitators. It’s also, if you can stomach it, a beautiful piece of filmmaking.

Bonus:

Super 8. The perfect Spielberg homage, with kids and monsters. Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. Far out. Do the Right Thing. A very hot, very good slice of city life. Chinatown. More cutting commentary on corruption in the West from a f’reigner. Team America. At least go watch the music video. Roadhouse. Never start anything inside the bar unless it’s absolutely necessary, and other Swayze life lessons. In the Loop. Biting, quick witted political satire. Snow White. For the kids! Also it’s great. The Sandlot. They’re still selling shirts at Target that say “You’re killing me, Smalls.” Wizard of Oz. Country girl makes it big in the city but returns to her rural roots. … As apple pie. — Grant Scott-Goforth For showtimes, see the Journal’s listings at www.northcoastjournal.com or call: Broadway Cinema 443-3456; Fortuna Theatre 725-2121; Mill Creek Cinema 839-3456; Minor Theatre 822-3456; Richards’ Goat Miniplex 630-5000.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should under− stand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this infor− mation. 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.

Introducing Houston Waters Murphy’s Market would like to introduce its new meat cutter, Houston Waters. Houston has been cutting meat for about eight years and now works mainly in the Sunny Brae location. “I have been working for Murphy’s for a couple of weeks now. The whole crew is very welcoming and respects who I am. I also love

the community feel that Murphy’s has built,” explains Houston. Houston was born in Eureka and raised in McKinleyvile. He enjoys spending time with his wife, Shannon, and daughter, Jazmyne. “On the weekends or my days off, we all really enjoy going to the rivers and local beaches. We

also volunteer our time building trails. Basically anything outdoors,” explains Houston. The next time you are close to one of Murphy’s ﬁve convenient locations, swing in and be part of the community that Murphy’s has built over the years. If you are in the Sunny Brae location make sure you say hi to Houston.
