Gasoline Gouge Editor: In his study of local gasoline prices (“Gasoline Kings,” July 5), Ryan Burns skipped lightly over the main answer to his lead question, “Why the heck are Humboldt County’s fuel prices so high?” That answer is that Chevron has a near monopoly on the fuel supply to Humboldt County, and consequently it can charge anything it wants. And boy, does it ever charge!! So, why doesn’t another major refiner come into the local market to give Chevron some competition? There’s not enough volume of fuel sold here to make the investment profitable. That’s it. Period. Corporate competition for Chevron would cause local prices to drop dramatically, but don’t hold your breath. The big refiners rub elbows with each other, you know. Now, consider that there are three ways fuel is shipped: cheapest is by pipeline, next is by barge (all Chevron fuel arrives here by barge, never by tanker), and most expensive is tanker trucks. OK, now you do the math: Our gas is barged in from Richmond. Chevron (and many other) stations in Redding get their fuel by tanker truck from Richmond. Same source, and our fuel comes to us cheaper. So, why are Redding prices generally $.20-.30 below ours? Because we are being gouged by Chevron. Heck, it’s a free market, and Chevron is charging us all the traffic will bear. David R. Young, McKinleyville

Editor:

Thank you for taking a swipe at big oil in Humboldt. We know of their larcenous ways and general disregard for customers, but in terms of how they outdo themselves in our otherwise fair land, this discussion has been long overdue. I thought the most interesting news presented by Ryan was that most of our local stations are siphoning their gas from the same bucket. Not only do we have to put up with price gouging but it appears that any dignity formerly accrued to personal product selection has gone up in smoke. The article laid out a number of important, educational facts. Unfortunately, the story has left us with a gaping hole in terms of local government involvement and potential solutions to this stick-up in broad daylight.

I read nothing about what our mayor and council have tried to do about this situation. Certainly oil companies cannot just set up business without a local relationship and contract. I would like to hear our representatives answer to the impropriety of local collusion but more importantly what they can do to put pressure on the “extra” profit margin that big oil is tacking on to wholesale prices. Is it not possible to fire an oil company? Inviting one company to hit the road would send a message. Some will argue that this type of action would reduce competition. Really? How’s that competition thing working out now? What can you do about it, mayor? I would guess that the residents of Humboldt County live here in part because we do not appreciate toeing the corporate line, living with monopolies, or being forced to pay usurious prices for things. Every day we glower at the ubiquitous signage displaying those atrocious prices and remind ourselves of the nameless, shameless, faceless thugs of big oil. Jon Exley, Eureka Editor: “Why the heck are Humboldt County’s fuel prices so high?” A better question is, “Why are U.S. fuel prices so low?” The answer is that we have oil reserves and government subsidies and we’re spoiled rotten. The price of a gallon of unleaded is about $4.80 in Bangladesh, where one tank would consume about 6 percent of the average citizen’s annual income. It’s $5.40 in Tanzania, $6.80 in New Zealand, $7.70 in Israel, $8.40 in Hong Kong, and $9.30 in Norway. There are few countries (mostly OPEC members) with gas cheaper than ours, and even in some of those the price relative to income is higher. A trip almost anywhere outside this country gives one a very different perspective on our hypochondriac “pain at the pump.” The real cost of our gas is much higher than what we pay. Add the hidden costs of environmental destruction, pollution, social injustice, global warming, political instability, and military action to control access to foreign oil to the “up-front” costs of exploration, extraction, transport, and refining and the cost is more like $15 per gallon. If the retail price were more realistic we’d have fuel-efficient vehicles, decent public transit, better health and sensible community design. Instead, whenever our gas prices start to edge closer to the rest of the world’s and to

what they really should be, we start blaming the president and calling for reform. We should be calling for reform of a very different sort. We are so insular in this country that we lose sight of how privileged we really are. It drives me crazy when people here complain about gas prices. Please … Stop whining or move to Saudi Arabia, where gas is 70 cents per gallon. Just think how much you’ll save — especially if you’re a woman, since you won’t be allowed to drive anyway. Ken Burton, Eureka

Devious Birds Editor: Thank you very much for the article (“Bright Birds,” June 28) by Heidi Walters in the North Coast Journal. I found it informative and inspiring. I want to disagree however with one of the article’s minor conclusions, that Steller’s jays only “stumble upon” bird eggs. I feel certain

Cartoon by joel mielke

that they do stumble on some. But they also conduct synchronized searches for them. Many times over many years I have seen a small flock of them going after nests. Characteristically, a couple will distract the nesting victims with calls and proximity while another one or two or three will silently search through the canopy for the nest. I have also seen both single Steller’s jays and scrub jays directly

follow spotted towhees into places where the towhee may be nesting. They also watch the activities of juncos, apparently with an eye to discerning the nest location. I think not all Steller’s forage by the same techniques, and perhaps this fact has misled you. For example, wasps have nested for many years under my eaves. But in the last two springs, one Steller’s Jay has gone around under my eaves and attacked every nest, apparently eating the

grubs. This is new behavior involving only one bird each year. It has been shown that songbirds have relatively large brains for their body size. I think this must increase the probabilistic aspect of their behavior. Consider for example the blue tits of England in 1920, and their learned behavior of stealing cream.

Editor: A pox on both your houses! Let’s be honest, Ms. Hodgson (“We Have a Plan,” June 28), you don’t really pretend that, when gasoline goes up to $10 a gallon (as it inevitably will), that all of you pro-trail/anti-rail voices will sit quietly by and watch your newly won trainless trail be taken away by a reincarnation of the railroad because it will be (as it is now), the most fuel efficient, energy friendly form of transporting people and freight? Come now, I can see the crossed fingers behind your backs. Surely we all know that once the tracks are “rail-banked” it will be for all time. Any move to make a withdrawal from that bank will be met by howls of indignation from those same people who are now promising to respect the need for any future reactivation of the rails. “Just give us what we want now and we’ll respect you in a future morning.” I think we’ve all heard that one before. And as for you, North Coast Rail Authority, did I and others not stand before you years ago and make the point that your collapsing infrastructure along Humboldt County’s busiest highway would, inevitably, lead to a major political push to take it away from you? Did I not tell you that you faced a use-it-or-lose it proposition? That unless you got something running in those tracks this day would come to pass? Now, NCRA, due to your years of leaderless bumbling you face a determined opposition that will in all likelihood confiscate your railroad. You Humboldt County NCRA representatives chose to listen to those on the southern end of the railroad who made all sorts of sweet, vague promises. Now they have freight and, soon commuter trains, and what does Humboldt County have? I’m waiting for your answer. John Webb, Trinidad

Editor: I want to respond to the publisher’s column, which mentioned railbanking as an option for the use of the Northwest Pacific Railroad right-of-way between Arcata and Eureka. This is supposed to preserve it for use if rail service is reestablished. This sounds good, but experience has shown that once a trail system is constructed, rail service is never restored. This is because of politics and expense. The Timber Heritage Association has been working very hard to create a railroad museum and establish an historic tourist train around the bay. It has been agreed upon for a rail and trail system from Samoa to Arcata. If the two groups can agree on sharing the right-of-way from Samoa to Arcata, why not all the way to Eureka? The historic tourist train would not only generate revenue for THA and Arcata, but for businesses in Old Town Eureka as well. The column stated that if rail service was re-established, the trail could be relocated alongside the tracks. Why can’t the trail be located there in the first place, so both systems could be utilized? I believe the trail advocates want the rails pulled, knowing that they will never be re-installed. If you support an historic tourist train around Humboldt Bay, I hope you were able to attend the meeting on July 11 when the trail advocates were to present their trail plan to the North Coast Railroad Authority. Scott R. Baker, McKinleyville Editor: NCJ’s Ryan Burns (“Choo-Choo Fantasies,” May 24) professionally researched the East/West railroad idea, and showed even a “feasibility study” is a waste of time and money; it would spend $250,000 in taxpayer money studying the wrong things. Supervisor Mark Lovelace’s request for solid research on market need has gone unanswered. And many other

Humboldt County residents supporting economic development want facts, not faith, justifying a public project. Some proponents claim questioners oppose “all’ economic development. I want economic development and jobs for Humboldt County, but oppose wasting scarce tax dollars on grandiose dreams. The jobless and “working poor” desperately need achievable, “right now” ideas, and this railroad isn’t one of them. Railroad supporters seem to believe this hundreds of millions of dollars scheme will come from “someone else’s” tax dollars, but there are no “someone else’s” tax dollars — we’re all in this economy together! There are dozens of good ideas for small existing and new business economic development. Let’s pursue those ideas, and not get distracted with unreachable dreams from an era that has passed. Jeff Knapp, Arcata

Correction

Last week’s cover article “Gasoline Kings,” relying in part on an incomplete state list of station ownership, misidentified the ownership of several branded gas stations. The Shell and Chevron stations in Arcata, Dave’s 76 in Fortuna and Earp’s 76 in Garberville are independently owned. The Journal regrets the error. ●

Summoned

Many are called — and called — to serve on Humboldt juries By Zach St. George

zachstgeorge@northcoastjournal.com

hen Jim Scott saw a red, white and blue slip in his mailbox, summoning him to jury duty, he felt sick. “I just got a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach,” he said. “I thought, ‘Oh God, here we go again.’” He’d been expecting the summons. It had been exactly 90 days since the mailman left the last one — right on schedule. Scott gets summoned regularly, at least once a year, usually more. During two separate years, Scott was summoned four times. Since moving to Humboldt County from Ohio 23 years ago, Scott said he’s been summoned close to 40 times. While he’s probably unluckier than most, public records suggest that he’s hardly alone. Anyone with a driver’s license or an ID card from the Department of Motor Vehicles, or anyone registered to vote can be selected for jury duty. At the beginning of each year, the county merges the DMV and the voter registration lists to form its jury pool. At the beginning of the 2010-11 fiscal year, Humboldt County’s jury pool contained roughly 105,700 names. During that year, the court issued 93,000 summonses. So odds are, most people in the pool will get called. Most weeks, the Humboldt County

Superior Court sends out 2,000 jury summonses — 425 every Monday through Thursday, and 200 on Fridays. The court sends so many summons out, said Courtroom Services manager Sara Biasca, because more than three-quarters of those summoned either aren’t eligible, are excused or don’t respond. Humboldt’s summons response rate is slightly less than the statewide average of 30 to 40 percent, said Kristin Greenaway, senior court systems analyst for the California Superior Court system. That could be one reason why some people here feel as though they get summoned frequently. It’s not just a problem for people in small counties like Humboldt, however, Greenaway said. Frequent picks like Scott could just be unlucky, she said — it’s all up to the computer that chooses the names. Kate Lehre also wonders whether that computer is biased. She’s lived in Humboldt for 30 years, and every year she and her husband both receive jury summons. One friend, meanwhile, hasn’t been called for jury duty in eight or nine years of living in Humboldt. Her friend doesn’t vote, but has a driver’s license. The computer is great at randomness, but it can’t tell when two names belong to the same person, which probably means that a lot of summonses go to

people who are supposed to get a break. “If it’s Jane E. Doe on your voter registration and Jane Elizabeth Doe on your driver’s license, the computer thinks those are two different people,” Biasca said. That means that if someone has two names in the pool, they could receive up to four summonses a year. Frustrated by his frequent summons, Scott called the court in the early 2000s. A court worker told him that he had two names in the pool, and that it would be corrected. Now, he said, the names on the summonses are the same, but they come just as frequently. Biasca said nobody should be summoned more than twice a year, but unless mismatched names are corrected at the DMV and with voter registration, the problem will recur each year, when those agencies send the court their new lists. People who think they’re being erroneously over-selected should call the courthouse, she said. In order to be eligible in the first place, potential jurors must be 18 years or older. They must be county residents. They must speak English, and must not be a convicted felon. Active-duty police officers are temporarily excused, as are members of the county Grand Jury. And those people who are summoned and just blow it off? The court sends them a failure-to-appear letter, which warns them that they could be found in contempt of court. Typically, many of the no-shows are people who had moved and didn’t receive the summons in time. Those people are given a new court date. People who ignored the summons and are found in contempt of court can be fined, jailed, or both. Court executive officer Kerri Keenan said, however, that in her 4½ years on the job, she’s never seen anyone penalized for

failing to appear. “We want people to participate in the democratic process,” Keenan said. “We don’t want to hit them with a hammer when they don’t show up.” The names in the jury pool are always changing. When people call in to check if they need to appear for jury duty, their names are withdrawn from the pool for six months. If they are required to appear at the courthouse, then their names are withdrawn from the pool for one year. If they are selected as a member of a jury, then their names are withdrawn for two years. Because jury summonses are sent out each week, names are withdrawn and re-added to the pool constantly. Scott lived outside of Humboldt for more than 50 years and was never summoned once, he said. Less than a year after moving to Eureka, the summonses started. Two decades and dozens of summons later, he’s feeling like moving away. There are other factors, he said, but the jury summons is the biggest. Only around 750 people served on 63 jury trials in 2011 — less than 1 percent of those summoned. That’s little consolation for Scott. “Oddly enough, I have yet to sit on a jury,” he said. He feels that his frequent selection is indicative of a broader problem with the court’s selection methods. “Jury service is touted as one of the proud responsibilities of citizens in this country,” he wrote in a letter to the county Grand Jury. “Sadly, the jury selection process in Humboldt County has turned a jury summons into an onerous duty and frequent harassment that is endured at best and is to be avoided if at all possible.” The Grand Jury replied that it had no jurisdiction over the jury selection process, and returned his letter. l

Jury Ponders … And Ponders A jury is taking plenty of time thinking about a new law — specifically about whether it should convict three people accused of defying county limits on courthouse protests. Jurors went home at midday Tuesday with no verdict, and now have deliberated for longer than it took to try the three, who stood with lighted candles outside the courthouse after 9:30 p.m. “I can’t believe they’re still deliberating. … The jury is working very hard,” said Deputy Public Defender Casey Russo. “It’s hard to tell what it means. They’re asking a lot of questions,” said Deputy District Attorney Jackie Pizzo. The case is the first criminal trial stemming from Humboldt County’s attempt to limit protests outside the courthouse in Eureka. (That law is also being challenged in a civil suit, and critics have contended that it is so broad it violates the Constitution.) The three people being tried, Peter Camacho, Kimberly Starr (aka Verbena) and Amanda Tierney, are accused of violating a provision that prevents most people from being on the courthouse grounds after 9:30 p.m. ● ENVIRONMENT, TRANSPORTATION / BY RYAN BURNS / JULY 9, 3:42 P.M.

Judge backs Caltrans on Richardson Grove A Humboldt County Superior Court judge today ruled that Caltrans’ Environmental Impact Report for the Richardson Grove Improvement Project does not violate the California Environmental Quality Act.

The ruling (follow a link on our blog to read it in full) reads as a systematic repudiation of the major claims from the petitioners, including a trio of nonprofit environmental groups: the Environmental Protection Information Center (EPIC), the Center for Biological Diversity and Californians for Alternatives to Toxics. In a nod to the high level of public interest in the case, Humboldt County Superior Court Judge Dale Reinholtsen begins with a rather unorthodox message to the general public, warning against the kind of hyperbole that has surrounded the project thus far: Caltrans is not going to cut down or otherwise remove any old-growth redwoods from Richardson Grove State Park. There is absolutely no basis is reality for believing that Caltrans “wants” to “destroy” old-growth redwoods. … The evidence is quite obviously and overwhelmingly to the contrary. There is also no evidence that the project was undertaken to satisfy the needs of “big-box” retailers or “corporate giants.” [Emphasis included in original.] Meanwhile, a similar battle in federal court remains on hold pending mapping revisions. In his ruling, Reinholtsen starts off diplomatically enough, saying both sides presented “thoughtful, well-researched arguments meriting serious consideration.” But the even-handed compliments end there. From that point the decision goes into exasperated smack-down mode: The judge calls petitioners “less than forthcoming.” He describes one argument as a red herring and lambasts another as “nothing more than an exercise in wordplay.” Point by point, he dismantles their case. For example, the judge dismisses the notion that Caltrans had a “secret agenda” to widen the roadway for STAA truck access by pointing out that Caltrans’ made this justification clear from the jump, even going so far as to include EPIC on its mailing list. As for the old growth redwoods in question, Reinholtsen says their value stems mostly from their visibility and symbolic meaning, rather than any ecological importance. Statistically, he says, they’re an insignificant portion of the state’s remaining old growth stands (decimated though they are). He concludes that the project won’t ruin the “profound aesthetic experience” provided by these trees. The judge even goes so far as to suggest that some of the petitioners’

allegations may be disingenuous. The petitioners suggest that Caltrans essentially admitted some degree of guilt simply by preparing an Environmental Impact Report, which by definition addresses significant environmental impacts. On page 16 of the 30-page decision, Reinholtsen dismisses this canard with the tone of a disapproving schoolmarm: “That is simply untrue, as Petitioners must know.” The level of detail that the petitioners would like to see in the environmental documents is “uncalled for in CEQA [the California Environmental Quality Act], and indeed possibly unlawful,” Reinholtsen concludes. As if scolding naughty children, the judge then launches this rebuke: We are simply not talking about effects that ‘when taken in isolation, appear insignificant, but when viewed together, appear startling.’ … We are instead talking about effects that when taken in isolation, appear absolutely trivial (or even non-existent), and when viewed together appear a little less trivial. The only potential impact of the suit on Caltrans is a requirement to adopt “a reporting or monitoring program … designed to ensure compliance [with CEQA] during project implementation.” The judge ordered the parties to meet up and work out an agreement on the particulars to ensure this happens. Caltrans heralded the ruling in a press release, writing: Today’s ruling brings the challenges to the project a major step closer to resolution. Route 101 at Richardson Grove has been under study for more than ten years and Richardson Grove Improvement Project has been actively in development since 2006. Minor changes to the existing alignment will be made without removal of any old growth redwood trees in order to allow industry-standard sized truck access along this portion of Route 101. As the court emphasized in its decision, the project was planned and designed to avoid removing any old-growth trees. Natalynne DeLapp, development director for the Environmental Protection Information Center (EPIC), said in a phone interview that the petitioners are disappointed in this ruling, though she stressed that the case is not over, partly because of the reporting and monitoring

required. More significantly, DeLapp said, the project remains on hold pending the remapping that was ordered by a federal judge last year. “For us, I take solace and comfort in the fact that the grove is still protected because of the federal injunction,” DeLapp said. ●

CRIME, CURIOSITIES / BY RYAN BURNS / JULY 3, 1:25 P.M.

Female Cage Fighter Tackles Eureka Transient The Journal moved its offices to Old Town Eureka two years ago to be in the middle of the action, but this morning’s events weren’t exactly what we had in mind. I’d just stepped outside our door to make a phone call when a group of young people sprinted past, hung a left at the corner and disappeared. Okay, whatever. It’s Old Town. Then they reemerged, carrying a guy. Now I was interested. Turns out Nikki Owen had just gotten her ring resized at the goldsmith’s shop across the street from us. When she walked out the door onto F Street she saw a man having something of a temper tantrum. He kicked the sandwich-board sign outside the Old Town Market and ran away, Owen said. The proprietor of the store, Jay Joh, emerged and yelled something to the effect of, “Stop him!” And here’s the thing about Nikki Owen: Not only does she value properly fitting bling; she happens to be a cage fighter from Hoopa. Owen took off after him. Some friends joined in. “I had to citi-

zen’s arrest this guy,” she bragged to one of them later. “I chased him down and slammed him.” The friends carried the suspect back to the store and stood watch until the cops arrived. Store owners Jay and Sung Joh gave this account of the events: The man had tried to purchase a bag of tobacco, some rolling papers and a sports drink with a debit card, and when the card was twice declined he became angry and refused to relinquish the merchandise he’d gathered. He finally did hand it back, Jay Joh said, but then in a fit of pique started kicking stuff. When Eureka police arrived, Officer Justin Winkle explained to the Johs that the man was a known transient who “tends to be a problem once in a while.” Their options were to a) press charges or b) let the officers give him a warning for trespassing. They chose Option A. Before hauling the supsect to jail, the officers took Owen’s number and thanked her for her service. Owen and friends piled back into their van and took off. And Old Town Eureka returned to abnormal. ● ANIMALS, ENVIRONMENT, LAW / BY HEIDI WALTERS / JULY 3, 4:13 P.M.

Bite You in the Face That’s what the Humboldt marten does to the porcupine, supposedly. And it’s what the Center for Biological Diversity does, too, when the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service fails to do what the center wants — in this case, protect the minksy little triangle-eared critter, of which there are apparently only 20 left in California and 100 total in existence anywhere. In a news release sent out today, the center announced it was suing the service for failing to act on a 2010 petition to protect the Humboldt marten under the Endangered Species Act. This January, the service said that Martes americana humboldtensis’ need for protection may be warranted. But then it failed to make a final decision by an April deadline. The center announced it would sue, and now it has. The center claims that the service’s failure to make a final ruling could legally lead to a default, in which some protections “immediately go into effect for the marten.” With a little helpful nip on the nose, perhaps. ●

: 7 07 A Moment in Humboldt

Photographs by Journal Readers

HONORABLE MENTION “McKinleyville Morning, Coffee and an Ocean View.” By Bryan Wilson.

Morning

ust a few steps, and the views are endless. Past the guy probing the edge of the parking lot with a metal detector. Past the two forms huddled green and blue in sleeping bags, deep in a dune swale. Past the sand flecked with charcoal and old fireworks. They were 6:45 a.m. This is 7:07. The sky crumples in a dozen shades of fog:

pewter, pearl, alabaster, bronze. The closest waves splash and trickle, tenor to the bass that pounds beyond them. In less than 20 minutes, a short walk from a parking lot toward the wandering mouth of the Mad River, and there is no one in sight, no one to be heard, nothing but the sweep of shore and sea and sky. Solitude. It’s part of what pulls so many of us to Humboldt or keeps us here. A land as lush and empty as we need it to be, whenever we crave it. The tide is going out, and the beach is wide here. Green lines of old waves wriggle across the sand. Damp underfoot, and then damper, the sand turns half-liquid beneath the toes. A thin sheen of water spills over crab shells, broken sand dollars, coin-shaped stones. To the north, ocean and hills disappear in a white mist. To the south, waves repeat and repeat until there’s nothing but a gray shimmer. Away from the waves, back where the sand turns powdery, a breeze lifts a wisp of dried seaweed. Tiny insects, dappled brown and tan, go invisible between each move. A raven caws. Walk further, where the surf sound fades, and songbirds are raucous in grasses. Beyond, in every direction, are all of Humboldt’s solitary retreats: redwoods, meadows, rivers, mountaintops. Where was your 7:07? — Carrie Peyton Dahlberg

ats tiptoe along broken sidewalks, two men tinker under the hood of a Chevy pickup, the scent of grease and dishwater mingles with the gray, still air, and on E and F and G streets people walk, in twos and threes and whole families, down to the center. The tsunami zone. Where the black hands on the tall blue street clocks glide. Alone on a corner a block from the F Street Plaza, a girl rolls a slow tune on her green banjo. Another girl stands statue straight in a blue doorway with her ukulele; she sings high, sweet, a little off key. A guy balances a greasy plate of Smug’s pizza on a wood post, dank coolness leaks from the Pearl, and inside the Vance the Fortuna Camera Club is gathering. Old Town is doors-open — music thrums, people wander in and out of galleries sniffing the paint and proclaiming they liked the frame, the scrubbed wood floor, the way the dog jutted paws-andhead from the wall, the leaf shimmer, the misty cliffs, the way those red blotches looked like robots. Or streetlamps. Loud chatter in the square, and cheers. Shrieks. Thin Perico, from Chile, is again atop his high unicycle juggling knives. Soon Candy Pants Broken Glass will be landing with her bare feet — crunch! — onto the pile of jaggy glass bits. The merry clown-haired fellows are still a block away, pedaling a behemoth kinetic sculpture as slow-fastly as they can. The sky hangs, thin and gray. Plump, inked arms extend, pulled by dogs. Kids squeal, splashing in the fountain. Zoltar (“I see you over there!”) accosts another hip couple — him in buff Carhartts and North Face fleece, her in black mini, lace tights, kneehigh boots and a flowery hoodie. Blue cake. Yellow cake. Green cake. Students sell goodies so they can get to Belize. Calvary Chapel will say a prayer for you. Another group offers rainbows. A councilwoman stumps for more time. Anna sells paper roses. A waft of medicine tickles the nose. The black clock hands move … then it’s 7:07 p.m. Marty backs his carriage closer to the crowd, white horse ears-atwitch. Chatter-roarlaugh-shriek-thumpa-dee-thumpety-drumssplash-Whooo! On the boardwalk, where the teenagers have gathered in cliques, a pelican launches from the wood railing and rises up, out, over boats and bay. Tilts to sweep over the town, wings slowly pumping, pulling everything into the vortex: salt air, salmon, towns, redwoods, ocean, rivers, sunny south and sunny east, foggy heart. Minutes have ticked past, but it’s still 707. Forever. — Heidi Walters ●

Eclectic Artisans By Jason Marak

ove it or loathe it, everyone has to agree that the Arcata Plaza is an eclectic place: from the people to the shops and restaurants, the Plaza runs the gamut. On the Plaza’s west side, there is a shop that embodies the spirit of its location. Arcata Artisans has been displaying and selling the work of a diverse group of local artists and craftspeople for more than nine years. For July, Arcata Artisans features a collection of artists that shows the variety of its membership: printmaker Marsha Mello, jeweler Kris Patzlaff and ceramic artist Michael Pearce. Marsha Mello, a member of Arcata Artisans since it began, has been a printmaker for more than 30 years. Mello employs the age-old intaglio method that involves drawing images on copper plates that are then etched in acid. It’s a medium she finds well suited for capturing the detail in the variety of natural subjects she explores: Birds, marine animals and insects are among her favorites. Mello’s latest exhibition focuses on birds. “I am endlessly intrigued by their grace, elegance and variety, and strive to show their connections to their surroundings and place in the world,” she writes in her artist statement. Those connections are evident: The patterns and movement of the COUNTERCLOCKWISE FROM TOP “TEAPOT,” CERAMICS BY MICHAEL PEARCE; “CURIO,” NECKLACE BY KRIS PATZLAFF; “GREAT BLUE HERON,” ETCHING BY MARSHA MELLO

lines that describe the background in each scene seem connected to the patterns and lines in the birds themselves. The birds are part of their environment and the environment is part of the birds. Mello hopes that her work will inspire people to learn more about that environment and, as a result, help to protect it. Kris Patzlaff, another longtime Artisans member, has been making and exhibiting jewelry for over 35 years. Patzlaff is showing some recent carved acrylic, jet, bone and carved black coral pieces reminiscent of organic shapes like branches and stones combined with formed and fabricated silver components, often covered with intricate patterns and textures. Looking at her work, one gets a strong sense of parts coming together to create an even more interesting, often unexpected, whole. She speaks of her work as a discovery process with pieces evolving as she puts them together. “For me, that keeps it refreshing and fun,” she said. “A lot of jewelers, and I have great respect for them, will design something and then they’ll make it and you can look at their drawing or their design and go, ‘Yup, that’s it!’ None of my jewelry has ever been like that; I’ve always had this element of assemblage,” said Patzlaff. A set of necklaces she titled “Curios” was inspired by the idea of 16th and 17th century cabinets of curiosities. “Early travelers would bring back odd things from their travels and then put them into these cabinets. They were sort of like the first museums before museums existed. My house is similar to that,” Patzlaff said with a laugh. “I have a lot of cabinets with different things in [them], different things I collect.” While making and displaying the jewelry brings its own rewards, Patzlaff sees the end of the process as something a bit more personal. “It’s so important for

me for someone else to own it, enjoy it and wear it. And for the jewelry — when those necklaces are on the body, that’s their home, that’s where they should be.” Ceramic artist Michael Pearce is the newest member of Arcata Artisans and this is his first featured exhibition with the collective. While he is the newcomer to the group, Pearce certainly isn’t a newcomer to his chosen medium. He started working with clay in 1970 with wheel thrown pieces. More recently, he’s been focusing on slab-built forms using highfire techniques with porcelain and stoneware clays including asymmetrical vases and teapots of various sizes. Something about the irregular shapes makes you want to pick them up to feel the edges and curves. Colors range from strong blues to more muted, natural tones. “I like stuff that’s asymmetrical — it kind of gets more of a movement going,” explained Pearce. “I started distorting my thrown forms a little bit, I just liked it better when they weren’t perfectly symmetrical, and then [using slab-built forms] just launched [the work] into a new dimension.” The teapot is one of Pearce’s favorite forms. In addition to providing numerous elements to manipulate (spout, handle, lid, body), the form allows Pearce to highlight another aspect of his work: whimsy. The lids of Pearce’s teapots are home to a variety of figures and scenes, from surfers to dogs and cats. “I love being able to stick a little element of humor in and I can’t really do that [with a standard vase]. They’re very expressive, teapots are, for me — it’s just fun,” Pearce said, “I’m just kind of addicted to it, really.” ● There will be a reception for the artists at Arcata Artisans (883 H Street) on Friday, July 13, from 6-9 in conjunction with Arts! Arcata.

Skios By Michael Frayn Metropolitan Books

On the stage, farce is about running in and out of doors, concealment and revelation, expectation and illusion, pretence and persuasion, need and want. Michael Frayn, who wrote what many regard as the best stage farce of the age (Noises Off), wondered if he could write farce as a novel, and this book is the convincing — and consequently very funny — result. How could a younger, handsomer and utterly feckless guy successfully impersonate a staid expert guest speaker at the annual gala of an international foundation dedicated to preserving Western Civilization, held on the private Greek island of Skios? A lot of coincidence helps, but much aid comes from very contemporary examples of human nature. Rich, powerful and educated, the gulled audience nevertheless is a willing accomplice. When the imposter suggests he could easily be someone else, they happily agree. “We’re all such fools!” There are some slamming doors and bedroom misadventures as well as star-crossed suitcases and taxi rides, though the mechanics of this farce also involve cell phones as the modern gateways to confusion. The ambitions, emotions and pretensions of a number of other characters are exposed and involved, including the real guest speaker — an expert in the “scientific management of science” whose convictions as well as disposition make him peculiarly vulnerable to chaos. Another contemporary mechanism of farce working here is the space-erasing jet engine, which makes the difference between places (Skios or skiing in Switzerland) way too easy to miss. What the novel adds to stage farce is getting inside the characters’ heads to learn the precise nature of their delusions, and the yearnings and weaknesses that feed them. How they — and we — tend to interpret the world from a few tellingly misunderstood clues is deliciously described. This novel extends not only from Frayn’s plays, previous novels and journalism but from his philosophical work (The Human Touch) with its insight that: “The world plainly exists independently of us — and yet it equally plainly exists only through our consciousness of it.” When the two factors collide you may have drama and tragedy, or comedy and farce. Even with satirical touches, Frayn creates a convincing world so endearingly vulnerable to this kind of mayhem that farce seems inevitable, yet you wind up rooting for the irredeemably irresponsible protagonist to get away with it. There are sweet reminders of Kosinski’s Being There (as well as Ferris Bueller’s Day Off) in this fragile oasis of uncertain civility where bored but lionized experts speak to rich, dutiful but bored audiences. Not everything at the foundation is what it seems either, as the routines of greed undermine the frightened maintenance of civilization, in a fiendishly funny finish. — William Kowinski

Show and Tell Game-playing comedy at Redwood Curtain By William S. Kowinski williamkowinski@northcoastjournal.com

n Show People, the contemporary comedy now on stage at Redwood Curtain in Eureka, the middle-aged acting couple of Marnie and Jerry (played by Bonnie Halverson and Ron Halverson) begin their latest performance. But it’s not on stage, where they haven’t worked in a decade: it’s at a posh vacation home with an ocean view. All they know about Tom, their employer (Nathan Emmons), is that he’s a software entrepreneur currently negotiating a huge buyout by Microsoft. They’re supposed to play his parents, for the benefit of his soon-to-be fiancé, Natalie (Nanette Voss-Herlihy). Any ethical questions are bypassed for the work of improvising convincing characters, as well as to the sorely needed payday. From here the plot moves quickly but in directions that it would be unfair

to divulge, in deference to potential audiences. A first act revelation only complicates the possibilities, leading to a buzz of intermission wonderment. Though the second act wanders a bit, it does resolve neatly. Apart from clever plot twists and turns, the thinness of the play is counteracted by the characterizations and performances, with room to grow. Bonnie and Ron Halverson play the realities rather than the stereotypes of professional actors. Nanette Voss-Herlihy plays Natalie’s earnestness and vulnerability. But none of it would work without yet another superior performance by Nathan Emmons, who again proves he can be subtle as well as powerful. In the course of the play, we learn of Jerry and Marnie’s dappled careers

as a Broadway couple who never quite achieved stardom, including an opening night Jerry believes could have taken them to the next level, but it was ruined by a backstage mishap. That night will return to haunt him one more time. We learn of the strong crosscurrents of their marriage, as well as Natalie’s youthful ambitions and doubts, and as the play strays into Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? territory, shards of Tom’s family background are sent flying. But the play pulls back from any real engagement, leaving us to ponder the subtext of powerful yearnings for the conventionally perfect family and perfect life. Though not at the level of the theatrical in-jokes of Shakespeare in Love (for instance), there is some sardonic commentary on theatrical history and contemporary practice. There is also a version of a famous Hamlet soliloquy that is a slightly exaggerated version of an all too familiar approach. The credibility of the plot depends on the seductive mystique of the garageto-riches techie billionaires and their potential position as the wealthy eccentrics of the age, especially as combined with the quiet desperation of financially as well as emotionally vulnerable actors dependent on capricious outside forces for their sustenance and their opportunities to perform. The result is a mostly clever though convention-riddled diversion, conveniently packaged in a nice two hours. It would be nothing more than this except for the humanity that these actors bring to roles that reviews suggest have been interpreted much differently elsewhere. Playwright Paul Weitz first attracted attention as a screenwriter and director, beginning with American Pie in 1999. He followed up his successful romantic comedy film In Good Company (2004) with three stage plays, including this one in 2006. He continues to work in film, directing Little Fockers in 2010. Show People is very capably directed

by Clint Rebik, with an attractive and functional set by Liz Uhazy, lighting by Greta Stockwell, sound by Jon Turney and costumes by Sarah McKinney. It continues at Redwood Curtain Thursdays-Saturdays at 8 p.m. through July 28, with a 2 p.m. Sunday matinee on July 22.

Coming Up:

Parents who enjoy an outdoor show with the family at the Mad River Festival, but had doubts about explaining Mary Jane: The Musical to their children, can confidently bring the kids to Dell Arte’s The Fish in My Head this coming weekend, July 12-14, at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday July 15 at 4 p.m. in the amphitheatre out back. It’s a self-created, circus-style fantasy about “the untold stories that swim around in our dreams,” complete with music, acrobatics, physical comedy, masks and stilt-walking. There are special familyfriendly admission prices, too. The Berserker Residents, an ensemble from Philadelphia, will perform their “burlesque cabaret meets three-ring circus” production of The Jersey Devil at the Arcata Playhouse on Friday and Saturday, July 13 and 14, at 8 p.m. There’s an opening act at 7:30 p.m., too: San Francisco clown Summer Shapiro. Speaking of cabaret, Ferndale Repertory Theatre opens the famed musical Cabaret on Friday, July 13, at 8 p.m. Though this show set in 1930s Berlin has been revived and revised several times since its 1966 Broadway debut, many probably still know it from the 1972 film version with Liza Minnelli and Joel Grey. However, the stage play is different from the film to an even greater degree than usual. On Saturday, July 14, North Coast Repertory Theatre holds a fundraiser at the Wharfinger Building in Eureka. It’s the 2012 Pirate Ball, with music by The Delta Nationals and performance by the Ya Habibi Dance Company, among other swashbuckling features. Doors open at 7 p.m. ●

The drunken botanist

Stop the Madness! By Amy Stewart

amystewart@northcoastjournal.com

the “Enough Already” PHoto by AMy Stewart

et us review the brief and troubled history of the Modern Cocktail. It began in the early ‘90s, when youngsters realized that a Martini was a nice thing to order in a bar. A few variations on the Martini followed, most notably the godawful “dirty Martini” made with excessive amounts of olive brine, and the vodka-based Cosmopolitan, which featured prominently in HBO’s Sex and the City. That gets us to about 1999. A few years later, somebody in Brooklyn decided it might be refreshing to order a drink with some whiskey in it, and pretty soon we all remembered about the Manhattan and the Old-Fashioned. (See AMC’s Mad Men, 2007.) Around that time, a few bartenders grew out their sideburns, put on vests and started mixing Prohibition-era cocktails with obscure and interesting ingredients that had to be smuggled in from London because liquor distributors had not yet caught on to what was happening. The smuggling was part of the fun, actually: These bartenders preferred to mix their strange and wonderful drinks in tiny unmarked basement rooms that they

called “speakeasies,” thus allowing us all to pretend we were doing something illegal or at least illicit when at best what we were doing could be called “exclusive,” which is to say that we were simply paying very high prices for very nice drinks in locations that were (for a short time) not well known to tourists. Meanwhile, on the West Coast, bartenders realized that as long as chefs were working with fresh, seasonal, locallysourced ingredients, they might as well get in on the action and infuse some cucumbers in vodka or throw some basil under the muddler. Which was a fine idea. That brings us to about a year and a half ago, when it all went to hell. Here’s what happened, as near as I can figure: The fancy cocktail movement went on a date with the slow food movement, and they had a few too many drinks, then they went back to the fancy cocktail movement’s apartment, and things got a little out of hand, and together they spawned the Modern Cocktail. The Modern Cocktail might have a dozen or more handcrafted, artisanal, obscure ingredients. It might call for such

things as freshly-pressed heirloom tomato water, rhubarb-vanilla-ginger simple syrup, a rinse of absinthe or vermouth, a mist of rose water, a few drops of housemade cigar and allspice bitters, and the frothy whites of a freshly-laid egg from a young Ameraucana hen who has been named after a member of the Algonquin Round Table. You may have to special-order an aromatized wine whose name you cannot pronounce. Essential oils may be involved. There could be vinegar or pickling liquid. The glass may be placed atop a board of smoldering hickory to coat its interior in smoke. Spice-impregnated sugar may grace the rim of the glass. A garnish of snap peas, sun-dried beet chips, or imported Italian marasca cherries soaked in Kentucky bourbon may confront the (by now quite thirsty) drinker trying to get at the beverage. The Modern Cocktail is, in short, a mess. This was illustrated most recently by the short-lived fame of the Bone Luge, in which alcohol is chugged through a splitapart animal bone so that some of the marrow mixes with the booze as it goes down the hatch. Awful, right? Makes you long for the days when a good-looking man or woman dressed mostly in black would just stand behind the bar and shake a few ingredients over ice and pour it in a glass and wish you a good evening. Here’s the thing: Making really good liquor is complicated enough. Whiskey goes through a very careful fermentation and distillation process in wonderfully crafted copper stills, then it gets aged in a precisely charred oak barrel that may — believe it or not — be made only from one particular part of the oak tree because the distiller believes that branches make for better booze than trunks do, or the other way around. Gin might have a dozen or more botanical ingredients, with each flavor extracted or infused or distilled in a different manner. Vermouth has a few dozen ingredients, and those crazy old European herbal liqueurs like

Chartreuse claim over a hundred. A good classic cocktail — a Martini or a Manhattan or a Vieux Carré — might already contain 70 or 80 distinct botanical ingredients, and that’s before you add the olive or the cherry or the lemon peel. Does a bartender really need to contribute a few dozen more? Lately I’ve heard of gin infused with cattails, Campari infused with cardamom and bourbon soaked in barbecued short ribs. No good can come of this. So here’s my advice to you, the recreational drinker, the amateur bartender, the gardener: Grow a little mint in your garden for mojitos and mint juleps. If you’ve got raspberries or any other kind of summer fruit you don’t know what to do with, wash it well, pack it into a Mason jar, and fill it up with decent vodka. In a few days it’ll be ready to filter and drink. If you’re lucky enough to have a citrus tree, by all means make some homemade limoncello. But beyond that? Don’t go too crazy. Even a simple drink is already extraordinarily, wonderfully complex. Here’s what I’ve been drinking this summer. I don’t know if this drink has a name; it’s just something I mixed up one night when I wanted something a bit drier than Lillet but not quite as strong as a Martini. It contains several dozen herbs, spices and fruits, all blended together in complicated infusions and extractions on strange equipment in a foreign land — but all you have to do is buy two bottles and mix them together. The Lillet will keep about a month in the fridge after you open it, and if you can’t get G’vine (a lovely French gin made from a grape spirit similar to that found in Lillet) use Tanqueray instead. Here, I’ll make up a name for it: Enough Already 3 oz Lillet blanc 1 oz G’vine Floraison gin Lemon peel for garnish Shake and pour into a short rocks glass with ice. Add more gin if you feel like it. Drop in a lemon peel. Drink. l

The 51 Cards, plus garage girls, Potluck, Avalon Allstars and jazz by Jill By Bob Doran

he sound of a young saxophonist struggling through “American Patrol,” wafts from a practice room at Mantova’s Two Street Music while a rock trio called The 51 Cards sets up on a stage in the main back room, preparing for a rehearsal. Guitarist JR Perez kicks off an upbeat tune, “Undertow,” and drummer Adam Summers and bassist Rich Macey join in. “Nothing’s exactly what you would expect it to be. Take it from me,” sings Perez as he rolls out quarter note triplets. The Cards’ sound is bright and positive, with a youthful exuberance that comes from the fact that the members are all teenagers. “I don’t try to emulate other bands, but at the time we started developing our sound I was listening to The Strokes and Vampire Weekend a lot,” said Perez, when the band took a break to talk. “And I used to be a huge Led Zeppelin fan. We’re going for a really big sound, trying to fill as much space as possible.” The group began with Perez helping a friend, Christian Legaspi, flesh out a solo project called Chasing Royals. While at Mantova’s in McKinleyville they came across Summers,

32 North Coast Journal • Thursday, July 12, 2012 • northcoastjournal.com

who was new in town, practicing on a drum kit. Since Chasing Royals needed a drummer, they recruited him. Not long after, Legaspi decided to move on, but the band did not die. “The 51 Cards name comes from the fact that when the original guy left we were one card short of a full deck — it’s a bad joke,” said Perez, who assumed band leadership. Macey, who had a punk/ska band called The Chocolate Strawberries, would later replace a departing member on bass. “I actually booked their first show,” he explained. “I have this program I started at the Arcata Playhouse, Apprentice Entertainment, a bunch of kids who get together to put on shows. I wanted to book shows for local teenagers. It’s hard for teen bands to book shows because you’re not allowed to play in bars and it’s hard to get festival gigs.” Difficult or not, Macey landed the band gigs at the Humboldt Arts Fest and Humboldt Made Fair; he’s working on the North Country Fair. Monday night The 51 Cards play another Apprentice gig at the Arcata Playhouse, sharing the bill with Tough Stuff, an emo/punk quartet from Orange County. The digitally aware teens invite you to, “find us on Facebook,

ReverbNation, Twitter, Instagram, Soundcloud, even MySpace,” but most of all they want you to hear them play live. Do. I think you’ll like what you hear. Thursday at the Lil’ Red Lion Cocktail Lounge it’s a night of woman-centric rock with girl garage rebels The Lost Luvs, “Theraflufueled synth pop delirium” by Blood Gnome and Deep Time from Austin. Lost Luver Aimee Montague Taylor (see Moment photo page 21) describes Deep Time as “like a bit of Liliput, QuixOtic, Electrelane and Young Marble Giants all mashed up — so many of my favorites!” Incidentally, that’s Natalie from Blood Gnome in the self-portrait on page 18. You may have heard the rumblings in the local rock world about a band taking the monster rhythm section of The Hitch, drummer Steve “Thee Alchemist” Bohner and bassist Roshawn Beere, adding killer guitarist Pablo Midence from Dragged by Horses and a keyboard player, Andy Sorter. Briefly known as Yeti Fight and/or El Yeti, the band is now called Lord Ellis (a much better name). Imagine losing your breaks at the top of a mountain pass and rolling downhill with only the grinding metal of your gears for control — that’s what Lord Ellis feels like. The band has been woodshedding for a long time without many club gigs, but now the heavy hitters are emerging from their practice space to play a Friday the 13th show at the Lil’ Red Lion, sharing the bill with Vastum, a brutal metal band from Oakland. New dad Gabe Pressure (see on photo page 20 — congrats to the whole fam!) is escaping from baby duty for a Friday night post-Arts! Arcata ‘80s dance party at the Jambalaya. He’s joined by DJs Anya, Zephyr and Knutz spinning “all vinyl” dance tunes spanning genes: new wave, dark wave, synth, pop, punk, hip-hop, electro-funk and more. “Eighties attire and rump shaking encouraged.” (DJ Gabe spins again Saturday night at the Shanty.) Nocturnum has been pretty quiet lately aside from Miles PsyFi‘s Whomp Whomp Wednesday dance-a-thons. Friday the Eureka club brings in Arden Park Roots, a reggae/ rock/punk/dub band out of Sacramento for a tribute to Sublime, creators of the reggae/ rock/punk/dub genre. Former L.A. funk rockers Chris Hancock and Chris Brown downshifted to acoustic guitars, practiced some tunes by Hank, Willie and Johnny, hooked up with mandolinist/ vocalist Melissa Bernadt, became Merchants of Moonshine and moved home-base to Nashville. MoM twangs it up at the Wave Friday night. Local hip hop luminaries Potluck have been spreading the Humboldt brand cross-country on the “Underground Rebels Tour” with support from Kungfu Vampire, DGAF and The DRP. Saturday night the crew brings it back

home with a show at the Jambalaya presented by Fatbol with “special guests” including local rapper Hiway. A Humboldt Free Radio show Saturday at The Alibi pairs psychedelic doom band Antikythera from Portland with dark country punk Saint Christopher “from the open road.” Jasmine the all-ages princess alerted us to the fact that Saint Christopher is also playing an all-ages show early (7 p.m.) Sunday night at the Ink Annex with locals Gunsafe and The Bored Again, as well as Derek Dunn from The 357 String Band. “It’s put on by The Placebo, so of course there will be no drinking or smoking at the venue. Should be a killer show.” (Gunsafe also plays the McKinleyville Farmer’s Market Thursday.) Humboldt’s new jam central, Swain’s Flat Outpost, out Highway 36 near Carlotta, hosts a Sunday evening show by The Avalon Allstars, a band that takes its name from San Francisco’s famed Avalon Ballroom. The line-up is indeed all-star with Ray White and Will Bernard on guitars, Bobby Vega on bass, Alan Hertz drums (if you remember KVHW, this is the same band but with Bernard in place of Steve Kimock). Local rockers Knights of Van Duzen open the show. Doors at 4 p.m. Showtime at 5:30. Jill Petricca has been busy lately: She took over from Mike McClimon as director the venerable Scotia Band, playing Sousa marches and the like. She also plays classical music and jazz on her flute and doubles on saxophone. Sunday afternoon she leads a combo for “Jazz at the Graves” with Matt Beck on trumpet, Tim Randles on piano, Michael LaBolle, drums and Shao Way Wu on bass. “The Graves will groove, bop and dance,” she promises, adding, “The monthly concert is always opened up to the community for a lively jam session for the last half of the afternoon. Set the date, don’t be late, and reconnect with this local opportunity to support jazz, community and local art.” The Riverwood Inn doesn’t usually do midweek shows, but Loreen Eliason made an exception for blues guitarist Walter Trout who brings his kick-ass band to the Avenue of the Giants Tuesday, July 17, in part because of a high-powered recommendation: “Tommy Castro told me that if I ever had a chance, to book Walter Trout. I can’t believe our luck that we were able to reel him in,” said Loreen, inserting a bad fishing pun. Same Tuesday at the Lil’ Red, the SoCal band 2HUNDREDWEST stops by on its “Orange in Hindsight” tour. The band, allegedly “known for laid back beach and sun sound,” promises to “bring summer into any room and transform every hot sunny day into a cool chilled out night,” which should not be too hard to do in fogged in Eureka. Is this really summer? l

MANILA DUNES

Dune-gooders The coastal dunes along Humboldt Bay have lots and lots of friends, enough to put your Facebook count to shame. We’re talking more than 250 different species — species! — of birds; more than 200 kinds of plants; and more than 40 varieties of bees. (Seriously? Wow.) Plus the Wiyot people, who have hunted and gathered there for thousands of years. For eons these friendships were pretty darn stable, even as the dunes themselves drifted hither and yon with the waves and wind. Then came the invasive species, led by a virulent strain of white people. These uninvited pale folk were less than courteous to the Wiyot people (read: massacre) and rather pushy with the dunes, too. Not only did they drain and dike the neighboring marshy areas, they also introduced some aggressive foreigners, including iceplant and European beachgrass. These botanical newcomers loved hanging out with the dunes, which was nice and all except for the fact that, like the bullies who brought ’em here, they tried to gentrify the place. Gripping the dunes with their tenacious roots, these invasive plants threatened to push out friends the dunes had known for ages. Thankfully, some new friends came to the dunes’ rescue — groups such as The Nature Con-

servancy, the Lanphere Christensen Dunes Preserve and, starting in 1982, the Arcata-based nonprofit Friends of the Dunes. These pals set about restoring the coastal ecosystem and educating the surrounding community through guided walks, school programs, naturalist trainings and more. This Saturday, the Friends of the Dunes will host their own birthday party at the Humboldt Coastal Nature Center (aka the Stamps House, that adorable Hobbit-dome shelter in Manila). “As part of our 30th birthday celebration, we are inviting the community to come out and see the Nature Center’s new exhibits, hike the self-guided trail to the beach, enjoy music by the Spindrifters and, of course, have some cake,” said Carol Vander Meer, FOD’s executive director. The event kicks off at 1 p.m. with music by the Spindrifters. At 1:30 a short ceremony will honor the Stamps family, who built the dome structure as a retirement home in 1985. At 2, birthday cake will be served and at 3 a trained naturalist will lead a dune wildflower walk. Kids’ activities, including dune bingo and sand art, will be available throughout the afternoon. Show up early and grab a free poster of local artist Gary Bloomfield’s new mural, “Humboldt Bay and Dunes.” The Humboldt Coastal Nature Center is at 220 Stamps Lane in Manila. — Ryan Burns

Got Folk? It’s that time of year again, time to live the folk life with the Humboldt Folklife Society. It may not seem possible, but Folklife’s annual summer music marathon has grown even larger with 10 events spread over nine days. It all starts on that lucky day, Friday the 13th, with the first of two barn dances at the Arcata Veteran’s Hall. This Friday has Sue Moon calling English country-style dances with her band Wild Rumpus playing the music, and callers Mike Mulderrig and Matthew Marshall working with fiddlers Blake Ritter and Sam McNeil. Next Friday, July 20, at the same location, Striped Pig Stringband plays for dancing with Gabe Strand calling the moves. The fun starts at 7:30 p.m. both nights. Saturday, July 14, the action moves to Blue Lake with a festival kick off party at 5 p.m. at the Mad River Brewery Taproom featuring The Pilot Rock Ramblers and The Spindrifters. Sunday, July 15, is Blue Lake’s annual town party, Annie and Mary Day. It starts early with breakfast

at the Mad River Grange followed by a parade at 11 a.m. with samba drummers and dancers, Dell’Arte clowns, giant puppets and the like. The Folklife folks run the music stage at Perigot Park with Sam McNeil’s Academy Fiddlers at noon followed by Mon Petit Chou with Quebecois tunes, Blake and Rich playing old time, The Lonesome Roses with folky songs, bluegrass by Clean Livin’ and UKEsperience’s ukulele grooves. There’s also a classic car show, a baseball game and more of Blue Lake’s take on all-American fun. The Fest contunues Monday, July 16, with a twofer at Dell’Arte: a free early evening show (at 5:30 p.m.) in the Rooney Amphitheater with Jill Pettrica leading The Scotia Band, followed by Songwriter Night at 7:30 p.m. in the Carlo. This year’s all-male line-up incudes Marc Jeffares from The Trouble, John Luddington from Absynth Quintet, Jaese Lecuyer, who used to direct the Arcata Interfaith Gospel Choir, and the Journal‘s own Andrew Goff

of Seven-O-Heaven fame. Folklife gets jazzy Tuesday, July 17, collaborating with the Redwood Jazz Alliance for a Jazz Night in the Carlo featuring my former neighbor, the cool bassist Shao Way Wu, returning from his new digs in Portland for the occasion. Wu is joined by keyboardist Tim Randles (from the Mary Jane band etc.) and drummer Mike LaBolle, then later plays with The Coconini Trio with Jill Pettrica on woodwinds and drummer Tommy Fitzmaurice. In between it’s the festival’s one ringer: Victor and Penny, a ukulele/ guitar duo from the Midwest singing music they call “antique pop,” including classic jazz numbers and old time arrangements of modern tunes. Country Night, Wednesday, July 18, in the Rooney Amphitheater starts early, at 6 p.m. with SoHum’s top country band Twango Macallan followed by Carlota’s Ken Jorgensen with Fallin’ Rocks, closing with the return of Huckleberry Flint whose stellar set last year was a festival highlight.

Come back to the Rooney Thursday, July 19, for Bluegrass and Beyond with the Bubbles house band Clean Livin’, the rough ‘n’ tumble bluegrassy jugband No Good Redwood Ramblers, straight-ahead bluegrass by The Compost Mountain Boys and a closing set by Absynth Quintet rocketing into someplace in the great beyond. Friday’s above-mentioned Barn Dance should warm you up for what’s invariably referred to as “the grand finale,” the All Day Free Festival, Saturday, July 21, in and around Dell’Arte with 20 acts or so, a bunch of workshops, Joel Sonenshein’s ever popular Beatles’ sing-along and more stuff we’ll tell you about next week. Don’t miss the handy take-it-with-you pullout in the middle of this paper.

Rodeo x2 Bulls. Blood. Dust. Mud. Garth was on to something. And because we interpret Mr. Brooks’ words as gospel truth, we predict that the Sunday crowds will be roaring as Humboldt’s more cowboy-ish tendencies are indulged over the next couple weeks. Why? ‘Cuz it’s rodeo season, y’all! This weekend: Orick Rodeo serves up the ropes and the reins Saturday, July 14, and Sunday, July 15. Next week: Fortuna Rodeo Week supplies the joy and the pain starting Monday, July 16, and running through Sunday, July 22. In both cases the actual rodeo is sandwiched between oodles of other family-attracting events straight outta that America we all think we remember — barbecues, kids’ games, foot tappin’ tunes. Yee-freakin’-haw. But if you want to make sure you catch the rodeo rodeo, here’s your cheat sheet: Orick Rodeo Saturday, July 14 at 5 p.m. Sunday, July 15 at 2:30 p.m. Fortuna Rodeo Saturday, July 21 at 2 p.m. Sunday, July 22 at 1:30 p.m. If you’re unsavvy to the rodeo landscape — we’re gonna estimate that’s about, oh, 99.5 percent of Journal readers — let’s try to put in perspective what level of action you have the opportunity to gawk at. Both the Orick and Fortuna rodeos are sanctioned by the California Cowboys Pro Rodeo Association. Think of the CCPRA as the minor leagues of the rodeo universe. From late March through September, hopeful cowboys leave their day jobs behind and drive long hours to compete for modest purses in CCPRA events as far south as Needles, Calif., and as far north as Lakeview, Ore. Over the years, many ambitious cowboys have gotten their start in the CCPRA before movin’ on up to the PRCA big money events — Ferndale small-town-boy-made-good Billy Bugenig, for example. But smaller stakes doesn’t mean smaller bulls, and bones break regardless of how much moolah is on the line. All the ball-bustin’ events you’d need at a rodeo, you’ll get — bronc riding (saddled and sans), bull riding, steer rasslin’, calf roping. You must be entertained. Both the Orick and Fortuna events also supply their own unique bonus flavors. First, at 4 p.m. on Saturday, July 14, the Orick Rodeo Grounds will play host to its annual Mutton Busting competition, which features young, helmeted children released into the arena on the backs of scared sheep. Adorable. The next week, the Fortuna Rodeo will attempt to top that spectacle with the return of Quadiators in the Fortuna Rodeo Grounds starting at 6 p.m. Friday, July 20. The event features quad-riding two-person teams — one driver, one attacker — driving in circles and swinging wiffle ball bats attempting to pop the helmet-affixed balloons of their competitors. Yes. If you’d like more info on the Fortuna Rodeo — and there’s a lot — well, did you notice how your North Coast Journal is extra heavy this week? That’s because we’ve crammed this year’s jam packed Fortuna Rodeo Guide inside. So, give that a looksee. For more on the Orick Rodeo, uh, you’ll just have to become their friend on Facebook. — Andrew Goff

Andrew Garfield as The Amazing Spider-Man.

Caught in the Web

The Spidey reboot has heart, unlike Oliver Stone or Woody Allen’s latest By John J. Bennett filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN. I think Sam Raimi is a fine director, and I’d rewatch a number of his movies any day of the week. However, I don’t feel any real connection to his Spiderman trilogy. The movies were fun, if unremarkable, entertainment. They were also released

pretty recently, so I was mildly surprised (not to say upset) when talk of the reboot started. As it turns out, this new one is smart and strong enough to just about erase any memory of the previous three. When the first teaser trailers hit theaters, I was pretty skeptical: They looked like videogame footage and seemed to contain all of the movie’s action sequences. But that was a clever marketing gambit: Nearly everything in those trailers comes from the final third of the movie, so we get the pleasant surprise of two acts of solid character development and subtle visual storytelling. By the time the last, action-packed section rolled around, I was totally involved. Director Marc Webb builds the story painstakingly, first introducing Peter Parker as a smart, bullied high-school senior. Webb perfectly evokes the painful, all-encompassing dramas of teenage life, with help from a tremendous performance by Andrew Garfield. He plays Peter as a kid who may be a little lost, but who knows he’s a person of strength and value. His peers don’t recognize it, so he’s trapped in

40 North Coast Journal • Thursday, July 12, 2012 • northcoastjournal.com

the doldrums of late adolescence, trying to navigate an uncooperative world. When the fateful super-spider bites him and sets him on the path of hero-dom, there’s an exhilarating catharsis. Peter doesn’t have to submit anymore, and he revels in it. As he builds his Spidey skills, his enjoyment of this newfound strength and freedom comes through in the smart-assed, cocksure way Garfield delivers his lines. Overall, The Amazing Spider-Man charms and satisfies thanks to Webb’s light touch. He possesses the rare ability to tell a story visually, with frames full of details, but also hold onto the overarching narrative. He obviously has a way with actors, as well. The supporting cast members all turn in strong, distinctive performances, with the formidable Emma Stone in the lead. Rhys Ifans’ combination of intellectual arrogance and sensitivity make him a compelling villain. PG13. 136m. SAVAGES. With the wreckage of Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps still smoldering, Oliver Stone again attempts to mine his back catalog for inspiration. This time, he lifts the kaleidoscopic aesthetic of U-Turn (1997), the weird sexual politics of Natural Born Killers (1994) and the pointed politicizing of almost every movie he’s made. The mash-up almost works: Savages is watchable, for the most part, unlike the Wall Street sequel. In that case, a permeating over-seriousness and sense of self-importance unmade whatever positive impression the movie might have made. Ironically, Savages ultimately falls apart because Stone treats its subject matter too lightly. Aaron Johnson and Taylor Kitsch give convincing performances as Ben, a business/botany wiz, and Chon, an ex-SEAL. Implausibly, but allowably, the two are best friends and co-owners of a thriving cannabis collective. (They also share a girlfriend, but more on that in a minute.) Ben’s the brains behind the production and distribution of the most potent strain on the planet. Chon’s a one-man army, controlling collections, payoffs, strongarming — those aspects of large-scale dope-peddling that offend Ben’s delicate Buddhist sensibilities. Blake Lively plays the aforementioned shared love interest, a spoiled-rich-girl burnout. She goes by O, short for Ophelia (guh). Their consensual love triangle and booming enterprise clip right along until one of the Mexican cartels demands a piece of the action. The boys try to outsmart them and fly the coop. O gets kidnapped, and the bullets start flying. Back to the main problem: Ultimately this is a movie about the war going on around our southern border. It even opens with a series of chainsaw beheadings but goes no further in examining the scale and horror of the conflict. The narrative

ignores any cultural implications of this international drug war, electing instead to use it as an excuse for shoot-outs and torture videos. No less damaging is the beyondclumsy voice-over that frames the story. Lively’s performance, and the character she plays, are pretty cold and unlikeable to start with. This makes her an unconvincing narrator, and she certainly isn’t helped by the script’s attempt to play some kind of postmodern game with Sunset Boulevard’s storytelling model. The cinematography emphasizes the bright light and tan skin of southern California and its beautiful people. Taken together, these elements produce a too-simple, too-familiar crime story that’s mostly well-acted, goodlooking and intermittently exciting, but inconsequential. R. 130m. TO ROME WITH LOVE. There are two distinct tiers of Woody Allen movies. At the top we have Annie Hall (1977) and Midnight in Paris (2011), among others. They stand among the finest American comedies ever made and bear the imprint of a singular storyteller. Waaaaay down on the second tier we have stuff like this. While better than some of Allen’s bombs (the almost unwatchable Scoop, for example) Rome is inarguably a minor work. Because he’s Woody Allen, he’ll never have trouble attracting talented casts — or gorgeous starlets, for that matter. And the dialogue will always be distinctive and clever. But this, like a few of his lateperiod movies, seems more like an excuse to take a European vacation with a film crew than a story that needed to be told. It does make me want to go to Rome, though. R. 102m. MOONRISE KINGDOM. As readers of last week’s issue may recall, my initial viewing of Wes Anderson’s latest was hindered by drunken hijinks at the Minor. Visit the Journal online for my belated review. —John J. Bennett

Previews

ICE AGE: CONTINENTAL DRIFT. Yet another installment in the computer-animated adventures of a woolly mammoth (voiced by Ray Romano), a saber-toothed tiger (Denis Leary) and a lisping sloth (John Leguizamo). PG. 94m. FOR GREATER GLORY. Andy Garcia stars in this historical chronicle of the Cristeros War (1926-1929), a popular uprising against an anti-Catholic Mexican government. R. 145m. Toned Italian pecs feature prominently in this week’s Sci-Fi Pint and Pizza Night, Thursday at the Arcata Theatre Lounge, with a pair of sword-and-sandal epics: Fury of Hercules (1962) followed by Triumph of the Son of Hercules (1962).

6-10 p.m. On lucky Friday the 13th, Oliver Stone’s 1991 biopic The Doors stumbles into the ATL, with Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison, trippin’ balls in tight pants. R. 140m. 9 p.m. Last year’s The Muppets successfully revived the genius and playful spirit of the late Jim Henson. On Sunday you can catch The Muppet Movie (1979), their delightful and star-studded feature film debut. G. 95m. 6 p.m. You have four opportunities over the next week to catch Who Bombed Judi Bari?, the award-winning documentary about the late Earth First! activist who, along with SoHum agitator Darryl Cherney, was blamed by the FBI for the 1990 explosion in their own car. On Friday and Saturday the film will screen at the Mateel Community Center — doors at 7 p.m., show at 7:30 both nights. On Sunday it will show at the Arcata Playhouse (same show times), and Monday it’ll be at the Arcata Theatre Lounge — doors at 7:30 p.m., movie at 8. Cherney will be in attendance at all screenings.

Continuing

BRAVE. Pixar’s stunning animation doesn’t disappoint, even if this tale of a precocious Scottish princess lacks the studio’s usual depth. PG. 93m. KATY PERRY: PART OF ME. But which part? Starting Thursday, this behind-thescenes documentary takes you backstage with the bubbly tween pop idol, who split with British funnyman Russell Brand during production. See the drama and the Sesame Street-scandalizing décolletage in 3D! PG. 95m. MADAGASCAR 3: EUROPE’S MOST WANTED. Top-notch voice talent and clever sight gags distinguish the continuing slapstick adventures of goofy zoo fugitives. PG. 85m. MADEA’S WITNESS PROTECTION. Tyler Perry continues to milk his unconvincing drag act as the eponymous materfamilias. PG-13. 114m. MAGIC MIKE. Channing Tatum stars as a male stripper/aspiring entrepreneur in director Steven Soderbergh’s lively — and surprisingly gritty — drama. R. 110m. ROCK OF AGES. Maudlin, humorless hair metal Broadway musical about a rock club sports an all-star cast including Tom Cruise and Alec Baldwin. PG13. 123m. TED. The feature film directorial debut from Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane is a crass and clever comedy about a pothead Bostonian (Mark Wahlberg) and his best buddy, a sentient teddy bear. R. 106m. —Ryan Burns ●

Flight of the Nez Perce By Barry Evans

fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com n our part, the [Nez Perce] war was in its origin and motive nothing short of a gigantic blunder and a crime. —1877 New York Times editorial

The fighting retreat of Chief Joseph and the Nez Perce in the summer of 1877 through present-day Idaho and Montana is one of the most shameful episodes of the “Indian Wars” that wracked this land for 300 years. On the one hand, about 750 displaced people, mostly women and children, were desperately trying to flee to Canada; on the other, the might of the U.S. Army was employed to prevent their escape. In 1855, the U.S. government “gave” 12,000 square miles of land to the NeeMe-Poo, or Nez Perce (named, incorrectly, by French fur traders — they didn’t practice nose-piercing). The parcel represented about half their traditional homeland in Washington, Oregon and Idaho. The discovery of gold on reservation lands near present-day Pierce, 50 miles east of Lewiston, in October 1860 led to the unchecked invasion of some 5,000 white gold seekers. Three years later, the government pressured a minority of (mostly Christianized) tribal members into accepting the loss of 90 percent of the 1855 reservation land, including the Wallowa Valley hunting grounds. The majority of the tribe viewed this new “treaty” as the betrayal it was. They continued to live and hunt within the 1855 boundaries until 1877, when General Oliver Howard gave them just 30 days to relocate to the new reservation. Instead, they assembled at Chief White Bird’s village, located adjacent to present-day U.S. Highway 95, 60 miles southeast of

Lewiston. There, on the morning of June 17, 1877, a band of about 70 Nez Perce warriors led by Chiefs Joseph, White Bird and Ollocot routed a force of 130 soldiers, militia and Nez Perce scouts, killing 34. No “non-treaty” Nez Perce Indians died. It was a Pyrrhic victory. Coming less than a year after “Custer’s Last Stand” at the Battle of the Little Big Horn in Montana Territory, U.S. Army Commanding General William Tecumseh “war is hell” Sherman believed the government had to capture Chief Joseph and his people to set an example to any other potential “renegade” Indians. However, what should have been a straightforward mopping-up campaign turned into a lengthy and costly pursuit. During the next three months, fewer than 250 Nez Perce warriors engaged some 2,000 U.S Army personnel in 18 battles and skirmishes during a remarkable fighting retreat. The war ended only when fresh troops intercepted and besieged the exhausted Nez Perce, who were resting after their 1,200 mile trek just 40 miles shy of the Canadian border, in the foothills of Bear’s Paw Mountains in Montana. After five days, Chief Joseph surrendered, proclaiming, “I am tired of fighting. Our chiefs are killed. … Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever.” He was as honorable and resolute a leader in defeat as he had been in battle. We’ll look at the remaining 27 years of Chief Joseph’s life in a future column. l Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo. com) pondered the meaning of “humanity” recently as he walked the grassy slopes of White Bird battlefield.
