Thanks, But …

Editor: Thank you, Bernard J. Bass for your moving article “Women in Black” (Aug. 2). There are many apprehensions to spoil our day, and few inspirations to light our way. And perhaps demonstrations may be too futile to be worth the effort as there are probably more effective (?) ways to get the message across. I have been demonstrating since I moved here in 2004. But I have also been buoyed by the honesty, dedication and merit personified by the presence of people such as these. I have grown increasingly honored by the reminder that it is not just the fervent youth, but also the impassioned elders who move forward with the banners of a hopeful humanity. In a perhaps too insensitive world — carry on, and on, dear ladies. Larry Hourany, McKinleyville Editor: Your recent article regarding the Women in Black in Humboldt County seemed to be poorly informed. As your resident anthropologist and one who stands weekly in solidarity with the Eureka Women in Black, I can assure you it is not wilting on the vine but remaining the same basic group of sovereign individuals standing together once a week in silence and sober reflection, under the U.S. flagpole at the corner of the county courthouse, at I Street and Fifth Street (Highway 101 northbound). During the time I have stood in solidarity with these women, since early October of last year; there have usually been between four and seven persons standing there. Even in the worst of winter days we show up, and rarely only two people, rarely! Sometimes, even in the stormy cold winds and rain, there are more because it is harder. Even Ina and Noel, in their 90s, longtime peace activists, still show up and bring us flowers and candy. For me it is an elegant and eloquent way of saying — in just one hour of devoted time each Saturday from 12-1 p.m. — “No more war!” We stand and bear our testimony, silently. I feel fortunate to be included in this. John Allison, Eureka Editor: Although I appreciate the effort of Bernard J. Bass to bring more awareness of Women in Black to the community, I am disappointed with the lack of fact checking. He referred to only two standing in

Eureka, but neither he nor your publication spoke with anyone in our group. I have been standing on Saturdays in Eureka for over 10 years with Women in Black. Yes, in the very early years a much larger group stood against war and against violence. Even though the numbers had dwindled to a few a couple of years ago, I am glad to say that in the last couple of years several new participants have come together and we now have seven to nine on a regular basis. There are times when fewer show up at the courthouse as well as occasions when more might join us. None of us can make it every single Saturday as we sometimes have other responsibilities that keep us away, but those standing still feel their support. The movement is not dying; it is still vibrant, just as those who stand together sharing their compassion and spirit are. Li Conley, Eureka Editor: I often see Trinidad referred to as California’s smallest incorporated city such as in last week’s article Women in Black. However, according to 2010 census data and the geographic areas listed in Wikipedia, Trinidad with population of 367 and area of 0.48 square miles is second in area behind Amador City (pop 185, 0.31 square miles) in Amador County and fifth in population additionally behind Vernon continued on page 7

So many things can wait. The dust can wait and the cobwebs. The drain under the fridge can wait, but children cannot wait. Now is the name of the game. Holy Now! Blue green soul rising, old men dancing with lizards, recognizing the mighty in all things. This quiet dark holds us together, new friends and old, sitting on the soft earth, spirit journeys stretching out like unexplored maps. — Tamara Jenkinson

When the safety of attendees becomes a priority of the festival, we the patrons become empowered to look out and speak up, and Reggae on the River will become a better show. Reggae Against Rape, 2013. Natalie Engber, Eureka

Make Reggae Safe

Rail Not Wrecked

Editor: I grew up going to Reggae (“Sex Assault Rumor Worries Reggae Organizers,” July 31 blog item). As a Mendo local, Reggae was what we looked forward to every summer, and as I and the festival grew, I would hear of an increasing number of sexual assaults occurring. I began to feel frustrated that I should fear for my safety at what used to feel like home to me. Reggae on the River morphs into Reggae Rising, and my crew and I continue to join the yearly campout. As I head back to my camp late one evening, we get stopped at the entrance and are told that no one is allowed to enter due to an “attempted rape.” The next day, no announcement is made about the incident. This year I volunteered on Sunday at Reggae on the River. As soon as I arrive a friend informs me that there had been a rape the night before in Cooks camp. Throughout the day no one onstage mentioned it, and most attendees are most likely still unaware. Reggae on the River is now being moved back to French’s Camp, the original site and a much larger space. The Mateel needs to acknowledge that sexual assault is a problem every year. They should make participants aware that violence of any kind will not be tolerated, and we the patrons should demand a safer, more respectful atmosphere for women, so that “one love positive vibrations” really can exist. When the festival keeps quiet about incidents of sexual violence, they give the message that sexual violence is condoned.

Editor: There persists the idea the railroad would have to be torn up in order to rebuild it (“Rail Wreck,” Mailbox, Aug 2). Some say this is due to the gauge, rust of the rails, or the ties all need to be replaced. Not all the ties need to be replaced. They have a 25 year life, and a fair amount was replaced before the shutdown. Not every tie needs to be good to run trains. The rails are fine. The rails are not worn out. The rust is superficial. I have seen worn out rail. Gauge of the track is the distance between the inside of the rails. Looking at the many groups that have run speeders, the gauge is acceptable. Even the washouts are minor. Yes, I have walked and ridden on a speeder through all those washouts. The washouts do not impede the speeders. If we look to how NCRA has repaired the south end for freight, we can conclude how they will repair this area. If one wants, one can view hundreds of photos and many videos of this on the web. Some of the trestles or bridges will have to be repaired or replaced. The culverts will have to be dug out and replaced. The track would be cleared of brush. The ties replaced by machines that can run on the track as is. Then when that is done, dump rock on the sides and ballast on the side of the track. Then they bring a machine called a tamper to lift, tamp the ballast and align the track. The rail is kept the same. There are only a few situations where everything would need to be replaced: regular use of extremely heavy

loads, traffic or high speed trains such as one would see on the East Coast. Lawrence LaBranche, Eureka

Eeeeuuu, Meat Editor: The article on $20 dining for two (“Cheap Eats,” July 26) was a big disappointment. Meat, meat and more meat throughout the reviews; even, “you can see and smell the long skewers of meat being turned on the grill.” I barely recognize the Journal anymore. Instead of taking leadership, you heartily embrace stupid, retro-evolutionary, ecologically unsustainable trends such as the current meat craze. I’m not sure what the Journal does stand for these days, but you try hard to show what you don’t: vegetarianism, animal activism, environmental consciousness. Probably in homage to the almighty dollar (ad revenue), you bend over backward to prove you aren’t mere hippies, but are tough, hard-nosed business people. If you’re too mainstream and commercial to be the underground or alternative press, then what are you? Enjoy the cholesterol and karma, folks, you’re earning it. Diana Ashley, McKinleyville

Correction The number of women who stand with Eureka’s Women in Black was underestimated in an article in last week’s Journal, and name of one of the Trinidad Women in Black was misspelled. Her name is Mary Wilbur. In the same article, the Journal also mistakenly passed along incorrect information from Trinidad’s website about its relative size. The Journal regrets the errors.

Cleaning up pelicans one bird at a time — but for what? By Carrie Peyton Dahlberg carrie@northcoastjournal.com

ish-oil-soaked pelicans are being cleaned, fundraisers are being held and a rehab aviary is planned — but no one really knows how much good any of it is going to do. It’s been almost 20 years since anyone looked rigorously at how well California brown pelicans survive after oil spill cleanups, and those results were pretty dismal — the cleaned birds didn’t breed or live normally. Fish oil is less toxic to swallow than fuel oils, but both can kill by robbing a bird of its natural insulation. Nobody has ever studied how pelicans rebound from being contaminated with fish oil, according to Dan Anderson, who ought to know. He’s a co-author of that earlier oiled bird research, and a UC Davis emeritus professor of wildlife biology. Anderson has spent four decades observing

8 North Coast Journal • Thursday, Aug. 9, 2012 • northcoastjournal.com

the California brown pelican, monitoring its breeding grounds in Baja and tracking the population rebound that got it removed from the endangered species list. For the species as a whole, “it’s open to question” whether treating and releasing individual injured pelicans makes any difference to overall population size or robustness, Anderson said. A more recent study of oiled penguins was more promising, showing that some rehabilitated birds did return to breeding sites and reproduce, “but penguins are tough,” Anderson said, a sort of poster child for rehab. Beyond that, “I don’t want to say anything positive or negative about rehabbers,” he said over the phone last week. “That’s been a controversy: Is it worthwhile?” Anderson stressed that the moral ques-

tion — should people try to help animals injured by human industries or human carelessness — shouldn’t be confused with the factual question of how effective that help might be. For Monte Merrick, the issue is simpler. “I’m really rooting for the bird that’s in my hand,” he said. “Every bird that we release is a bird that was going to die that didn’t die. At least not now.” Merrick is co-director of Bird Ally X, and he agrees with Anderson that no one has tracked effectiveness of the kind of cleanup he’s doing in pelicans. Even so, he flared briefly and then apologized last week when he was asked about the impact of the group’s efforts to clean up and fatten up around 200 distressed pelicans. Sorry to sound defensive, he said, but too often that’s a question that’s only posed for spin. “We face this all the time, being told that wildlife rehabilitation is a waste of time and a waste of resources,” Merrick said. “The thing is, it’s not public money.” It’s gifts from people and institutions that want to see each bird cared for. And the gifts keep coming. Two separate Arts Alive! venues held fundraisers for pelican rescue on Saturday, and Ocean Night organizers told Merrick they’ll donate all proceeds above costs from last week’s event to helping the birds. Another fundraiser is in the works for late August at the Blue Ox Millworks, he said. On Friday, Merrick pretty much cleaned out the group’s checking account to pay Humboldt County $2,100 for a coastal zone permit needed to build a temporary recovery aviary in Manila. The cleaned birds need to heal and fatten up in an aviary where they can demonstrate that they can fly and dive successfully. Since the existing aviary can only hold about 30 recovering birds, the lack of anything bigger is seriously backing up cleanup and release operations. Meanwhile, Merrick and his allies have pushed and prodded to get fish cleaning stations to stop leaving oily heaps of waste in places where birds can become dangerously mired in it. So far, from Crescent City to Shelter Cove, that seems to be helping, Merrick says. Pelicans have a rough life. About half of the fledglings — 40 percent to 60 percent — will die in their first year, according to pelican expert Anderson. Higher numbers have floated around. In an especially bad year, mortality can hit 80 percent, said Jay Holcomb, director emeritus of International Bird Rescue, which has rehab facilities in the Bay Area

and Southern California. That group has taken in more than 400 pelicans, and it’s been backpedaling from a note Holcomb wrote saying that “the cost of caring for these birds is prohibitive and causes a great strain on our organization.” Holcomb says the note was only intended for other rescue groups, but it ended up being distributed more publicly in the Humboldt area, causing some tension between rescue groups. In it, Holcomb urged the public and wildlife rehabilitators to “leave starving fledgling pelicans alone when possible and not rescue them unless absolutely necessary.” This year, the birds likely are in crisis because of problems with their food supply in Southern California, according to another pelican biologist, Deborah Jaques. There are reports of pelicans straying far inland, getting tangled in fishing gear, getting oiled by fish waste, and even attacking baby murres to shake the fish out of them. “These things are starving and they’re doing anything they can to survive,” said Pat Higgins, a Humboldt Bay Harbor commissioner. Higgins suggested a popular theory — that birds have rebounded so far that now we can expect their population to crash. “There’s a natural cycle here,” he said. “It does seem that their abundance may have outstripped the carrying capacity.” The population boom-collapse notion is dismissed by biologists who have studied the birds. Based on what he saw in the Baja breeding colonies, Anderson said, this is really just a normal year for California brown pelicans. Jaques has seen other data that makes her suspect there were unusual food shortages in southern California, stressing the birds as they migrate north. But it’s hard to get the full picture about pelicans. “They’re probably one of the least monitored seabirds off the California coast,” Jaques said. She too, is loath to offer an opinion about the broader efficacy of pelican rehab, “but I will say the public kind of demands it.” What’s most pressing, she said, is to eliminate practices that needlessly harm the birds, like improper disposal of fish waste. And although there is no data showing how the released birds do compared to other pelicans, this year Bird Ally X is banding the fish-oiled pelicans it treats. So in time, it might at least get some band returns that could show how far individual birds traveled or how long they lived. l

Blog Jammin’ KMUD In Deep KMUD radio (91.1 FM Redway/ Garberville) — the funky, feisty radio station (aka KMUE 88.1 in Eureka, KLAI 90.3 in Laytonville and 99.5 FM in Shelter Cove) that knits the independent hinterlands into a tight community — is in jeopardy. “We don’t have any cash,” said Rob Bier this morning (Tuesday) on the phone. Bier is president of the board of directors of Redwood Community Radio, which owns the stations. Bier said the board realized its dire situation about two weeks ago. Since late last week, he and staff have been on the air explaining the problem and feverishly fundraising. “Between our indebtedness and our anticipated revenues, we didn’t have anything left over. The cupboard is bare.” To meet payroll today for its nine employees, the board deferred paying its bills — including, significantly, its PG&E bill and rent for its transmittal tower space. So, what happened? Bier said the nonprofit got a grant of about $90,000 from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to upgrade three of its four transmitters and convert the signals to high definition. As part of the deal, the station had to put up a matching amount — about $70,000. “On paper, we managed to show we had matching funds,” Bier said. “They released their

grant and we went to work.” In reality, the board didn’t yet have the matching funds. But it was under the gun to begin the work, Bier said. The grant as well as the construction permit from the FCC had deadlines — use ‘em or lose ‘em. So the board drew from other internal accounts and took out about $90,000 in loans, which are now coming due. Bier blames the fiasco on a combination of poor decision making, wishful thinking and “a bad spot of weather in March” which hindered the rigging crew brought up from the Bay Area to put up a new antenna on a tower; the crew had to return a second time, which doubled the costs and put the nonprofit $58,000 in the hole, said Bier. “We started robbing Peter to pay Paul,”

10 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • THURSDAY, AUG. 9, 2012 • northcoastjournal.com

he said. “We were expecting to raise money but we didn’t raise enough. We also purchased equipment before we went to our listeners and supporters and asked them to pay for it. And our estimates for the equipment were a year out of date — and those costs went up … so we got stung there, too. This is not the way to do business.” It’s hard to imagine life without KMUD. Since May 28, 1987, when KMUD radio first went on the air, it’s been a vital hub: Something happens — an election, a mudslide, a federal raid, or something else big or interesting in Southern Humboldt — and everybody tunes in to the small, Redwaybased station’s local news programs to find out what’s happening and chime in on the discussion. In between the action: music and storytelling, poetry and pondering, spiritual questing and reports from afar. KMUD is as community-radio as they come, offering everything from “Al Jazeera News” to “Hot Potatoes” and “Jomama’s Blues” and “Thank Jah it’s Friday.” Oh, and those seasonal weeks of fundraising, when the volunteers, board members and staff cheerfully pester listeners to cough up. Bier thinks Redwood Community Radio can eke out an existence for the next three months … but after that? It depends on the fundraising. “We’re proceeding on the assumption we’re going to get there,” he said. “We made a mistake, and that’s a very hard thing to say, because the main job of the board of directors of a nonprofit is to watch the money. But we’re a bunch of amateurs, volunteers.” GOVERNMENT, RAILROAD / BY RYAN BURNS / AUG. 6, 2:45 P.M.

Rail Propaganda, Anyone? A resolution on the agenda for tomorrow’s Eureka City Council meeting asks council members to swear allegiance to the riduculous controversial east-west rail proposal, and the resolution is preceded by

an almost comically biased “summary” of the issue. The agenda item was prepared by members of the Humboldt Bay Harbor Working Group, an amorphous collection of people that has been meeting for the last nine months or so. Exactly which members is unclear: More than 50 are listed on the website for Prosperity, the regional economic development initiative of which the working group is a part. Eureka council members Marian Brady and Linda Atkins are listed among the members, though Atkins said she was not involved in drafting this resolution and, in fact, was unaware it existed until last week, when City Manager David Tyson called to ask if she was OK with having it on the Aug. 7 agenda. She’s not. Atkins told the Journal that she plans to ask the mayor to postpone the item so council members can examine it more closely. A call to Brady was not immediately returned. On first reading, the resolution itself may seem reasonable enough. Divided into six bullet points, it asks the council to “affirm its commitment to create jobs and sustainable economic growth through Humboldt Bay’s harbor” by pursuing such common-sense measures as strategic planning, marketing and collaboration with other government agencies. But tucked into this laundry list of promises, the resolution asks councilmembers to swear their support for “rail service connecting [Humboldt Bay] to the national rail system” and to promise that they’ll pursue funding for the east-west rail project, specifically. As the Journal explained back in May (“Choo-choo Fantasies,” May 24), this endeavor has prompted a great deal of skepticism given the vast financial, political, practical and environmental challenges of laying 125 miles of new rail across a mountainous path that bisects two national forests. In the document on Tuesday’s agenda, no source is given for gross mischaracterizations of the main arguments against throw-

ing public money into the east-west rail pursuit. It sneers, “Comments have been made such as … ‘We don’t really want that (harbor) business here’ and ‘Why rail? That is 100-year-old technology.’” Nor does the document cite the “economic modeling” used to estimate what the rail-doubters are supposedly costing the region (more than $400 million and 3,500 jobs). Atkins is concerned by the document. “There’s so much in here that are just statements that don’t have any basis in any research that I know of,” she said. She recalled a 2003 study commissioned by the City of Eureka and the harbor district that recommended a more measured approach to economic development on the bay — one that focuses on aquaculture, marinedependent industrial projects, tourism and marine science. Atkins said she did attend a few meetings of the community group, “but then when it developed into this port-and-rail, massive mega-structure cheering team, I decided to quit going to the meetings and let them go their own way.” Eureka City Manager David Tyson said he didn’t know who actually wrote the resolution, but he said, “I validated [that] it’s in the interest of council to have it on the agenda.”

CRIME, REGGAE / BY CARRIE PEYTON DAHLBERG / JULY 31, 4:10 P.M.

Rail ‘Data’ Source

Sex Assault Rumor Worries Reggae Organizers

In an email to the Journal, the Humboldt Bay Harbor Group’s citizen leader, Susana Munzell, said that the data now being used to promote the east-west railroad project is from a 15-year-old study that operated under a very different set of hypotheticals. Back then, U.C. Berkeley economist John Quigley attempted to predict the economic benefits of improving and deepening the harbor improvements. Quigley estimated that a series of major infrastructure projects could, among other things, increase shipping to more than 5 million tons of cargo per year (by 2005), create 3,000 jobs and increase local payroll by more than $90 million. Even at the time it was greeted with skepticism. For example, in a 1998 memo to local business leaders, Gregg Foster, then with the Humboldt Area Foundation, noted that, “The cargo shipping assumptions used in the Quigley report significantly exceed any other projection made to date.” Another problem: The major component of Quigley’s assumptions was not a rail connection but the harbor deepening project — which has already been completed.

Reggae on the River organizers are trying to sound a “safe, family event” note at the same time that they’re scrambling for more details about a reported sex assault in a campground south of the festival. The scramble hasn’t been made easier by an apparent mis-communication between Humboldt and Mendocino county sheriff’s departments. Back on July 21, Humboldt sheriff’s officers responded to a woman at Garberville’s hospital and took her report that two men forced her into a tent and assaulted her around 3 that morning. They gathered evidence that could be used in a rape investigation, according to sheriff’s spokesman Lt. Steve Knight. But since the ugly mess unfolded at Cooks Valley Campground just south of the county line, they took the report as a courtesy to the Mendocino County sheriff’s department, and would normally have sent it on to Mendocino. Instead, it sat, until the Journal and KHUM started calling asking about rape rumors, Knight said.

“It appears to be an oversight,” he said. “Evidence was collected but for some unknown reason the report was not sent to Mendocino County.” The report was faxed to Mendocino this afternoon — more than a week later — “because you [the media] told us about it,” Knight said. The buzz about the mystery crime report has frustrated Justin Crellin, general manager of the Mateel Community Center, a nonprofit whose biggest annual fundraiser is the 28-year-old reggae show. The Mateelorganized camping at Benbow this year was safe, said Crellin, and other camping wasn’t under the Mateel’s control. Crellin said the festival shouldn’t be tarred by things that happened miles away or by memories of older, rowdier years. “Back in the day there were untold numbers of people,” he said. “It’s really been scaled back to a very safe, friendly event.” Reggae has gotten safer, but women should stay alert and shouldn’t attend alone, said Sgt. Ken Swithenbank, the south area commander for the Humboldt Sheriff’s Department. “It seems like there’s almost always some sort of sexual assault reported at Reggae. That’s just the reported ones. I’m sure there’s much more. It’s an issue and I don’t see it going away anytime soon, due to the alcohol and drugs.” ●

Occupy Broadband F

When it comes to high-speed, reliable Internet, we’re not as far along as we think By Ryan Burns

or nearly eight months after a $14 million new fiber optic line was completed to happy sighs of “whew, redundancy,” thousands of Humboldt residents and many local businesses didn’t have broadband redundancy. And they may not have known it. AT&T, considered one of the larger service providers here, didn’t sign onto the new line until last week. John Britton, a spokesman for AT&T, said the long delay was needed for testing to ensure that the line was “100 percent reliable.” Of the dozen or more Internet service providers in the county, the Journal could find only three that are leasing space on the new east-west line installed by San Francisco-based IP Networks — Suddenlink, Redway-based 101Netlink and now, AT&T. Local customers who buy Internet from any company besides these three — or from a handful of smaller companies that resell their services — remain vulnerable to the kind of outages that severed Humboldt’s Internet umbilical cord for hours in 2006 and 2007. While AT&T, Suddenlink and 101Netlink are relatively large, none would reveal exactly how many customers they serve in Humboldt County. Representatives said that is competitive information. Why aren’t other Internet providers hopping on board? Primarily cost — nobody gets on that east-west line for free.

According to Tom Camozzi, owner of Arcata-based Renaissance Internet, local wire-line Internet providers simply can’t afford to lease space on a redundant line unless they partner with a “facilities-based” provider — that is, one that owns its own transmissions lines like AT&T. Renaissance resells AT&T’s DSL service, and so its customers, like AT&T’s, just got redundancy last week. There’s plenty of space on the new line for more companies to sign on. Mary-Lou Smulders, vice president of strategies at IP Networks, said pairs of fiber optic lines remain available for long-term lease. “We could lease those for a very inexpensive [price], and that would be revenue for us,” Smulders said. “But we have chosen not to do that. We respect the fact that our anchor tenants paid not a cheap price.” Any new tenants will be charged the same amount, she explained. As compensation for using Pacific Gas and Electric Co.’s right-of-way along Highway 36, the utility company has been given rights to a dozen of the 36 pairs of fiber optic cables in IP Networks’ line. A PG&E spokesperson said the company hasn’t decided whether it will use those lines for its own services or lease them out to other companies. The spotty migration to broadband redundancy illustrates a divide that empowers the “haves” while disenfranchising

the “have-nots” just as much as America’s Connie Stewart, executive director of the widening income gap. It is the broadband California Center for Rural Policy. “I’m connectivity divide. encouraged by the progress we’re making, Fast, affordable and reliable Internet but man, we have got to get [broadband] access is now a prerequisite for engaging in across 299 and up 96 and up 101 [to Cresthe modern marketplace, whether you’re cent City].” paying your bills online, processing credit While no one has formally christened an card payments at your business or lying in “Occupy Broadband” movement, organized a hospital bed, waiting for medical data to efforts are under way to expand service to be shot through cyberspace. un- and underserved areas of the region.

ent wavelengths of light to carry signals travelling in opposite directions.) Before the line’s existence, Internet travel into and out of Humboldt County relied largely on one fiber optic line running north-south, AT&T’s along Highway 101. (Some traffic flowed via Garbervillebased 101Netlinks’ system, which transmits microwave signals from mountaintop to mountaintop between Ukiah and Eureka.) The day after Christmas 2006, high winds took out AT&T’s line, and with it the vast majority of the county’s Internet service. A month later, a fire shut the line down. Later in 2007, trenching for highway construction cut AT&T’s buried line — twice. Each time the line was severed, most of Humboldt County’s residents and businesses temporarily lost their lone tether to the Internet — so no email, no web surfing, no online sales, big gaps in critical information — for periods generally ranging from six to 12 hours. h andays, In the wake of those d a call Catcdark rang out across the region: “Redundancy!” sm Backed by a broad coalition and ufronted e... chocoby San Francisco-based tech company IP Networks Inc., a proposal to bring in another track from the east won the day.

How Internet traffic merges with the new east-west fiber-optic line assing by the Shasta County town of Platina at almost 450 million miles per hour, there’s no time to stop and visit its gas-and-groceries store, its solidwaste transfer station (capable of handling 25 tons a day), or its couple hundred residents, including the brothers at the nearby St. Herman of Alaska Monastery. This trip of light fantastic starts about 30 miles east, in Cottonwood, between Redding and Red Bluff on Interstate 5. From there, it makes a beeline west over range and foothills toward Platina; then cruises roughly along Highway 36 before veering toward a terminus in Eureka. The 121-mile trip takes just under one thousandth of a second — that’s for a bit of a megabyte pulsing at about two-thirds of the speed of light through the glass threads of the new fiber optic line between Eureka and Cottonwood. (The light moves slower than it does in a vacuum because of refraction in the glass.) The line is the new Highway 36 Humboldt-Trinity Counties Project. That’s the official project title; but, ala the “Rock Island Line” or the “Pacific Surfliner,” a more compelling moniker seems due. The Eureka Streak? The Cottonwood Carrier? The E-C Rider? Opened for business last December, the line carries a bundle of 72 glass fibers. These fibers are paired to send signals heading in opposite directions on separate fibers. (With higher — and more expensive — technology, traffic can be sent in both directions on a single fiber by using differ-

the routers will send data along an open line, but only if that data has a ticket to ride on it — the same as in normal operations. “Every core router knows its next door neighbor,” said Johannesen. “If one of my routers can’t talk to one of its neighbors, it doesn’t really hit a brick wall. It’s more of a communication back and forth, neighbors checking in and reporting back.” In this context, the neighbors may belong to competing telecommunications enterprises that need to cooperate and travel down each other’s road in the vast, open, rough-and-tumble terrain of the Internet. So, in the spirit of redundancy, let’s review: if it has a pulse and a favorable policy, a main fiberoptic line will carry your email when the other line goes down — but only if your Internet provider has bought or leased rights to the live line’s fibers. Again, ask about it. Like many neighborly relations along property lines, routing can get complicated with technical gymnastics required to get through hoops. Sometimes a pathway needs to be debugged. Sometimes trying to cross through a neighborhood can be downright dubious. According to network engineer Ivan Pepelnjak (on techtarget.com), networks with routers that don’t run proper protocol may have no idea how to route a packet of information toward its destination. Instead, they may divert it toward a different address block, which subsequently can get overloaded, creating what route-tenders call a “black hole.” “To identify a black hole in your network, perform a traceroute (sic) from your customer’s network to a destination in the Internet,” writes Pepelnjak. “The last router responding to the traceroute is one hop before the black hole.” You don’t want to go there. That’s light years past Platina. l

The drunken botanist

Drinkable Flowers By Amy Stewart

amystewart@northcoastjournal.com

Lemon Drop with pansy garnish photo by Amy Stewart

or the last year, the Journal has indulged my interest in drink and given me space once a month to rant about distillery tours, the dearth of good cider in these parts, excessively intricate cocktails, and so on. This has all been fueled by the research — if you can call it that — that I’ve been doing for my next book, The Drunken Botanist, which comes out in March. (I’ll be giving a “sneak preview” talk about the book at the Eureka library on Aug. 18. at 1 p.m. by the way.) Anyway, that’s been fun, but what I’d like to do for the next year is to talk more specifically about growing some of these cocktailfriendly plants. Of course, you don’t have to be a drinker to grow your own strawberries or basil, but it is an extra incentive. So I’m going to take a year to work my way through herbs, flowers, fruit, berries and vines, and vegetables. Many of these are best started in winter or spring, but I’m just going to cover them in the order in which they occur to me. Because it’s the middle of summer, let’s start with flowers. Borage. People say that borage leaves taste like cucumber, but if that’s the flavor you’re after, why not just eat a cucumber? Use the leaves if you want — some people pick small, young leaves for salads or cook them with other greens — but it’s the flow-

ers I’m interested in. The dazzling bright blue color isn’t found in many flowers, particularly edibles, and the fact that they hold their color when frozen means that you can do a very elegant little ice cube trick with them: Fill ice cube trays halfway, freeze, and then set a flower on each half-cube of ice. Refill with water and freeze again. This traps the flower in the middle of the cube. The plant is ridiculously easy to grow as a summer annual. Because of its long taproot, it resists transplanting; for that reason you’re better off starting from seed. Once you’ve got a patch of it going, it will self-sow every year. If the blue color doesn’t suit you, there is a white variety available from Johnny’s Select Seeds, and the blue variety sometimes produces pink or purple flowers for reasons known only to the plant. Borage is the classic Pimm’s Cup garnish, but I can’t imagine a cocktail whose looks would not be improved by floating a starry blue flower atop it, so use it in everything. Champagne and a splash of St-Germain elderflower liqueur? Add borage. Aviation, a gin drink made faintly purple with violet liqueur? Borage. A lemon drop? Borage. See how easy that is? Viola. For sheer decorative purposes, nothing beats pansies and Johnny jump-ups. They are so absurdly easy to grow that there

is almost nothing to say about them, except this: They do need regular water, so make life easy on yourself by buying a potting soil intended for hanging baskets. Ask about this at your locally owned, independent garden center, which is staffed by people who actually know something. They will point you to one or two potting soils that you’ve probably overlooked a hundred times. These specially designed soils hold water much better than ordinary potting soil. Otherwise, growing violas requires zero expertise. They will put up with sun or shade, they are surprisingly cold-hardy, and available almost all year. (The new “ice pansies” even bloom through frost.) And they will behave like a perennial — just shear back leggy growth to force them to rebloom — although you would be forgiven for tossing the spent plants on the compost pile and buying a fresh six-pack every few months. They’ll grow in any kind of container — think strawberry planters, hanging PVC pipes with holes drilled in them, vertical garden frames, or “gutter gardens” — a length of old gutter, filled with soil, with holes for drainage, suspended from wires or attached to a fence. It’s a cool way to grow herbs, strawberries, succulents and other plants that don’t have much root mass. The ice cube trick also works with pansies, but here’s another garnish idea: Make a very thin slice of lemon or lime, and cut a pansy so that a little bit of the stem is attached to the flower. Pull the stem through that little space in the center of the citrus slice (the hole left behind by the “central column,” if you know your citrus anatomy) and float that in a cocktail glass. Calendula. This is not the kind of flower you want to float in a drink — it’s too hefty for that. The individual petals make a nice enough garnish, but a drink with a handful of petals floating in it starts to resemble a salad more than a cocktail. However, the advantage of calendula is that it isn’t colorfast — so that bright orange hue will actually seep into vodka or simple syrup. (To make a simple syrup with anything from the garden,

slowly heat equal parts sugar and water with a handful of flower petals, fruit or herbs thrown in. Once the sugar has melted and the colors or flavors have been extracted, strain it, cool it and use it as a mixer.) Calendula, also called pot marigold, grows easily from seed. It’s even easier to pick up a pack of them at the garden center. They are also very cold-tolerant: They’ll bloom all winter in our mild climate. Colors range from yellow to pink to dark orange. There’s even a variety called “Citrus Cocktail.” The flavor, by the way, is slightly peppery, which won’t work in every drink. Nasturtium. Peppery flavor, pretty flower, a good garnish if you’ve got room in the glass. It’s ridiculously easy to grow from seed, and you get more interesting varieties that way. If you’re short on space, look for mounding as opposed to climbing/trailing cultivars. Renee’s Garden Seeds offers a dozen options; I like “Cherries Jubilee.” Real Fruit Lemon Drop I approve of Lemon Drops only when the vodka is infused with real fruit, not extracts, and only when you float a little bubbly on top to knock back the sweetness. I’m not a fan of the sugar rim, but if you want to do it, run a lemon wedge around the rim of a chilled martini glass, then dip the rim in sugar. 1.5 oz Hangar One Citron “Buddha’s Hand” or “Mandarin Blossom” vodka .5 oz Cointreau .5 oz Meyer lemon juice Splash of sparkling wine 1 thin lemon slice 1 pansy with a small bit of stem attached. Optional sugar for rim Do the sugar rim if you are so inclined. Shake the first three ingredients over ice and pour into a martini glass. Slowly pour sparkling wine on top so it floats. (Segura Viudas cava, a Spanish brut, works well and is available in small, single-serving bottles.) Run the pansy stem through the center of the lemon slice and float that in the drink. l

“AT THE BEACH” PRINT BY DEBORAH BURKE

Onward and Upward Deborah Burke’s prints and fabric work By Jason Marak

ocal artist Deborah Burke’s current show of silkscreened prints and fabric wall hangings at the Upstairs Art Gallery in Arcata, aptly titled “Progression,” exemplifies the movement and change in her work over the last 25 years. The progression is marked not just by stylistic changes, but by a dramatic shift in medium in her most recent work. Burke agreed to exhibit her work again after many years as a result of prodding by longtime friend and gallery owner Suk Choo Kim. Despite some initial apprehension, Burke said she’s grateful for the push. “Because of Suk Choo asking me to do this show, it got me working again. He was mad at me because he said [I wasn’t] doing artwork anymore,” Burke explained. “I said, ‘Oh, I don’t want to have a show, everything is so old,’ and he said, ‘No, you need to do it. You need to do it!’” Eventually, Kim’s persistence paid off and Burke agreed to do the show. “I’m working again, so it’s nice. … I’m happy with it,” Burke said. The earliest prints on display are of magnified flowers. “I always liked to

While still representational, toxic — the chemicals — I just kind of Burke’s depictions of everyday images in got tired of the mechanics of it,” said these later prints focus on patterns and Burke. Soon after, a shopping outing led abstract shapes that are present but often to an epiphany. “A friend and I went to a overlooked: The shape of a doorway fabric store and it was just one of those or cast shadows become focal points moments. … I thought, ‘I want to get into in these compositions.

fabric shows (some as far away as Barcelona) collecting material to incorporate in her work. Burke’s fabric work ranges from traditional-looking quilts to newer pieces that explore the idea of creating “paintings” with fabric. Color, shape and pattern have always been her central concerns, so the progression to quilts and fabric makes sense. In her most recent fabric work, she is dealing with those original, central concerns almost exclusively. “I had nothing in mind but color and placement. It’s much more freeing,” said Burke. The palette is bolder than in most of her prints, and the abstraction she explored in her earlier work taken over completely. “Hopefully, my next show is going to be all about fabric,” she said. ● Deborah Burke’s prints and fabric work are currently on display at the Upstairs Art Gallery inside Umpqua Bank (1063 G St., Arcata) and will be up until the end of August. A reception for the artist will be held in conjunction with Arts! Arcata on Friday, Aug. 10, starting at 6 p.m.

James Gadd as the Prince and Katri Pitts as Cinderella in the HLOC production

inderella is one of the world’s most popular stories, and among the oldest. It’s probably also the only one in which the climactic moment is somebody trying on a shoe. There are hundreds of versions from all over Asia as well as Europe (the idea that Cinderella’s beauty is proven by her small feet likely comes from China). It’s the paradigm of the rags-to-riches tale (the “Cinderella story”), yet these variations include themes of abandonment, incest and matricide that show up in more tragic works from King Lear to Sweeney Todd. The best known version is the mildest: the 17th century telling by Charles Perrault, which is the one that Walt Disney adapted for his 1950 film, still the standard for several generations. Until Disney, however, the 19th century Brothers Grimm version was a close rival to Perrault’s. And it certainly is grimmer, with the stepsisters cutting off toes and heels to fit into the (non-glass) slipper, and getting blinded by birds at the end. But fairy tale experts prefer it: It has more of a fairy tale rhythm (everything happens three times), it is more complex (the stepsisters are beautiful outwardly and only ugly inside). Cinderella is much more pro-active and she’s helped not by a fairy godmother but by nature spirits — birds who are inspired by her devotions at her mother’s grave. Cinderella is also less passive in the musical version now on the Van Duzer Theatre stage at HSU, performed by the Humboldt Light Opera Company. It’s still basically the Perrault tale though, with variations that don’t alter the familiar central story. Prince Christopher (played by James Gadd) is an uncomfortable royal, happy to be an anonymous guy at the vil-

lage market, where he literally bumps into Cinderella (Katri Pitts). When the royal factotum Lionel (Larry Pitts) commands that all eligible young women attend the Prince’s ball, the intention to find him a bride embarrasses the prince. But his understanding parents, the queen (Katherine Kinley) and king (Bill Ryder), urge him to see what happens, since his father (who also likes to hang out with the 99 percent) advises him that finding his one true love is mostly a matter of “dumb luck.” Back at home, Cinderella is bossed around by her stepmother (Tracey Barnes-Priestly) and her three stepsisters (Molly Severdia, Brandy Rose and Lily Buschmann), while imagining a better life. When she hears about the ball, she goes into action. The rest of the story you pretty much know. The additional wrinkle is not one but three fairy godpersons: Fiona Ryder, Ellsworth Pence and 5-year-old Aurora Pitts, whose angelic presence and fully absorbed acting remind us that children love to act out this story in play, perhaps because (as psychologist Bruno Bettleheim suggests) it reveals to them the possibilities of transformation and rescue. This is a big, colorful production, with a sumptuous set by Jayson Mohatt and dazzling costumes by Kevin Sharkey. Director Carol Ryder and choreographer Ciara CheliColando orchestrate the graceful crowd scenes and other movement. Ryder positions the singers well and makes the most of the key moments: Cinderella entering the ball, and of course, the slipper revelation. Makeup by Hannah Jones and Jayne Bauer especially transform the stepsisters. James Gadd is convincingly diffident,

sincere and then ardent as the prince, Katri Pitts is a vibrant Cinderella. Larry Pitts adds acerbic comedy as Lionel, and the three stepsisters each have a particular clownish talent. Tracey Barnes-Priestly plays the stepmother as more worried with ambition than evil, and Bill Ryder is a star even in a small role. The fine individual singing aside, for me the ensemble singing (Katrina Haeger and Molly Severida are musical directors) and the orchestra (conducted by Justin Sousa) provided the most musical emotion. At just under two hours, it’s not too much of a stretch for the natural audience of children, especially little girls (who can get a Cinderella makeover before the show — by appointment only). But there are levels of humor to keep adults involved, and spectacle for all. This musical Cinderella, with songs by Rodgers and Hammerstein, began as a 90-minute television special in 1957 starring Julie Andrews. For later stage and TV versions, songs dropped from Oklahoma and South Pacific were added, along with a song from the Richard Rodgers show No Strings and from a movie, Main Street to Broadway, in which Rodgers and Hammerstein themselves perform “There’s Music In You,” the song that ends this version of Cinderella. The songs generally aren’t considered to be among the composers’ best (and the Disney songs are more memorable) but they’re pleasant and occasionally witty. The story HLOC tells also seems to be a hybrid of these various musical versions. The HLOC production of Cinderella runs two more weekends on Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m., closing Aug. 18. l

’ve received a few emails and a bunch of Facebook invites in the last week or so asking for help getting the word out about the Humboldt Folklife Society’s much anticipated Folk School Music Camp, which runs next week, Monday through Friday, morning to night in Blue Lake. The school is a dream fulfillment for Folklifers who have been talking about it and working toward it for ages, but to be honest, I did not really understand the demographics — as in, who is the school for, kids or grown-ups? I asked HFS President Patrick Cleary. And he said: Both. As the Folklife news release puts it, there are “classes of interest for all age groups: toddler to elder.” “The morning stuff is geared to kids,” Cleary explained. He figures moms and/or dads who want the kids to get some exposure to music will bring the family out to Blue Lake during the day. Then there are the after-work classes. “Starting at 5, it’s all ages, but geared more toward adults.” The teachers include “some of the region’s best known musicians and music instructors,” including Lindsey Battle and Eileen HemphillHaley teaching songwriting, Colin Vance teaching fiddle, and his pal Cory Goldman old time banjo picking, etc. Rich Kearns will teach guitar for beginners, Tom Toohey gypsy-style guitar, Sandy Flippin harmonica, Sue Moon Irish square dancing. Gregg Moore is doing a horn ensemble variation on his Bandemonium project. Brooks Otis offers a pair of music appreciation classes with bluegrass one night, country western swing another. Seabury Gould and Joel Sonenshein both lead sing-alongs with Joel doing the superpopular Beatles thing he’s perfected at the Folklife Fest. Morning and afternoon classes aimed at kids include a rhythm workshop with drummer Jesse Jonathon and Lisa Monet on beginning ukulele for families. Jose Quezada and Carla Pagalia offer “North Coast Music

Together“ for kids up to kindergarten age (Quezada is the ubiquitous freelance photographer whose work you see almost daily in the T-S). There’s also something called the Music Instrument Petting Zoo a couple of afternoons, where anyone can “see, hear and touch the instruments they may wish play.” Most of the classes will be held on Dell’Arte’s auxiliary “River Campus,” a collection of rooms in Blue Lake’s industrial park next to the Mad River Brewery Tasting Room. Cost: $5 a class. HFS emphasizes that this is a pilot program for the Folk School. It also seems to be a work in progress — more classes may be added. Check humboldtfolklife.org for a complete schedule and additional details or to register for classes. There’s something primal and irresistible about a New Orleans brass band doing the second line; add in a dose of funk and, well, you’ve got me. And when it comes to mixing funk and jazz into traditional N’Arlins sounds, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band is the pioneer. Since its founding in 1977 as the end result of a successful youth music program (a bit like our new Folk School), the Dirty Dozen basically created a new tradition. Thirty-five years later the band is still going strong. The DDBB summer tour is on its way to Outside Lands in Golden Gate Park this weekend. (The sold-out festival also includes Stevie Wonder, Neil Young, Metallica, The Foo Fighters, Jack White, Skrillex and many, many others.) But first, DDBB stops off for a Thursday show at Humboldt Brews with Honey Island Swamp Band, a group of New Orleans Katrina refugees who came together at San Francisco’s Boom Boom Room to play roots rock they call “Bayou Americana.” I’m there. Jerry Garcia’s birthday may have been last week, but the Deadhead shows haven’t stopped. Psychedelic/country jam prototypes The New Riders of the Purple Sage are in town for a couple of gigs. Guitarist David Nelson founded the band back in the

’70s with Garcia on pedal steel. Buddy Cage took over Jerry’s chair when he got too busy; he’s still a Rider. Others include mandolinist/ guitarist Michael Falzarano from Hot Tuna and bassist Ron Penque from JGB. The Riders play Saturday at Swain’s Flat Outpost with Eric Lambert and Friends and Jay Roller. Then, on Monday, they’re at the Mateel with Elephant Dub Brigade and Knights of the Van Duzen, a benefit for George Danson and his family — one of those broken health care system things. Danson, father of four with another on the way, is fighting cancer and has major bills to pay. Friends are helping out with a raffle and an auction, so bring some extra cash. Then there’s the Normal Bean Band with Tom Constanten, playing Friday and Saturday at the Red Fox. Keyboardist Constanten was a friend of Phil Lesh; they roomed together in the early ’60s while studying modern music at Mills College. When the Dead were recording Anthem Of the Sun, Constanten joined up. He worked on a couple more records, then left in 1970. In 1994, he was inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Dead. Also in the band, Cecil “PNut” Daniels, a midi-sax player who sometimes jams with Wide Spread Panic. Returning to the topic of health care benefits, the next BA-DUM-CHH comedy open mic, Tuesday at the Jambalaya, is subtitled “Comedy for Caleb’s Sake,” with proceeds going to (uninsured) Denver-based comic Caleb Medley, who was shot in the Aurora Dark Knight massacre. Need a Celtic fix? Molly’s Revenge returns to the Arcata Playhouse Thursday with a new line-up: Stuart Mason on guitar and mandola, David Brewer on pipes, whistles and bodhran, John Weed on fiddle. Special guest on this show is champion fiddler Rebecca Lomnicky, winner of the Glenfiddich International Scottish Fiddle Championship in 2009. (Would she still be deemed second fiddle?) Friday is shaping up as a dueling dance par-

ties night: The Ocean Grove has EDM with DJ OnHell, Devstep and Bass Case. It’s ’80s Night (and Arts! Arcata) at Jambalaya, with Gabe Pressure spinning records along with DJs Anya and Knutz, but there’s some serious competition: The vinyl crowd will also be celebrating Mantease’s birthday at another Missing Links Soul Night with the usual suspects and special guest DJ Red, who suggests, “Wear something lightweight. We’re bringing the heat.” It’s a totally different sort of dancing, and I’m not even sure there’s room to dance, but Chubritza International Folk Band is taking listeners on “a musical trip around the world” that same night at Westhaven Center for the Arts. Keyboardist Dave Fleschner is one of those musicians who grew up here then moved to Portland, where among other things he’s been playing in Curtis Salgado’s R&B band. Fleschner is back home next week and playing a Tuesday night gig at the Westhaven Center. The two mainstays of the local EDM scene are Christopher Jonas Moore, aka DJ Touch of Deep Groove Society, who sees to it that there’s dance music at the Jambalaya for Sundaze (every Sunday), and Miles “Psy Fi” Ross, who runs Whomp Whomp Wednesdays at Nocturnum. This coming Wednesday, Psy Fi hosts the Third Annual How The West Was Whomped, Pacific Rim Edition, a Westernthemed dance party at Nocturnum. He’ll play music along with his Ooze Records label mate Ratchet and two Pacific Rim DJs: Kalya Scintilla from Australia, who somehow mixes dubstep and glitch hop with sounds from the Middle East and traditional gypsy music, and Japanese dubstep star Takeaki Maruyama aka Goth Trad, who runs a dance music night in Shibuya ward, downtown Tokyo, called “Back To Chill.” BassCraft Soundsystem is bringing those gut-shaking low-end speakers, Beams Lasers and Lighting the visuals. Added bonus: a mechanical bull in keeping with the Western motif. Did we mention it’s Psy Fi’s birthday? Hey, have a whompin’ good time. l

Humboldt Mountain Music The Compost Mountain Boys are marking their 20th anniversary playing what they call “Humboldt County bluegrass” with the release of the band’s first full-fledged CD, High on a Mountain. It all began in 1992 with the late Sean Bohannon and current Compost banjo player Tim Wilson playing as a duo at an Arcata Mexican restaurant, the Casa Que Pasa. Bassist Marty Johnson joined not long after; another banjo player came and went. In fact, a half dozen or so pickers have come and gone over the band’s two decade span. Around 1997, mandolinist Mike “Spumoni” Manetas joined the Boys after playing in several local bluegrass outfits including Fickle Hill and Wild Oats. “When I first joined [Compost] was more an instrumental band,” said Manetas. He loves to sing so he influenced the repertoire in that direction. “It took work and time and practice, but we got into a fuller, broader range of bluegrassy material. In a way I think the CD reflects the way the band has transformed.” While Manetas is the bluegrass traditionalist, the newest Boy, guitarist Marty Dodd, also plays in the country rock band Old Dog, and adds in that sort of flavor. All four members take turns in the lead, giving the CD a nice variety. High on a Mountain has its share of old murder ballads and songs telling classic hard luck tales. “Pitiful songs, murder songs, jail songs — we used to talk about ‘Compost CSI,’ ” Manetas said.

In some cases their versions of crime tales are tweaked to add a local angle. “We’re a Humboldt County band — we do what we want to do, mainly to have fun,” said Manetas. “We only take ourselves half-assed seriously.” So the Dillards’ song “Dooley,” a story about a moonshiner one step ahead of the revenuers, turns into a song about a “good ol’ boy south of Garberville” with a “garden in the hill” chased by CAMP. “Tim wrote that a number of years ago,” said Manetas. “He was working the graveyard shift as a dispatcher for the sheriff or some other police department.” In between calls he’d pick his banjo and write often playful lyrics. “Like I said, we’re a local Humboldt band,” Manetas emphasized. “We’re not that interested in touring. We started playing at Shamus T Bones recently. We love playing the Farmers’ Market and the Mad River Tap Room. [They’re there the third Thursday of every month.] We do a lot of parties and weddings. We’re here.” This weekend “here” means a Compost Mountain Boys CD release party on Saturday, Aug. 11, from 8 to 11 p.m. at the Arcata Playhouse, 1251 Ninth St. Admission is $5, $10 with a High on a Mountain CD.

Get over yourself, human! Every week you turn here to the NCJ’s trusty calendar section thinking, “Which dubstup show do I want to go to this weekend?” or “There’s got to be some guided Arcata Marsh walk that will serve my needs.” It’s always about you in these pages, isn’t it? Well, doggone it, enough! Isn’t there someone fuzzy you’d be willing to sacrifice 1/52 of your yearly weekend allotment for? Look up from your paper for a sec. See “man’s best friend” staring at you now with absolute love and devotion smeared across his or her adorable face? Yeah, it’s the dogs’ turn. So, if you don’t mind, please put your Journal on the floor in front of your canine companions while I let them in on the exciting news that, for once, this weekend is solely theirs. Ahem … Bark bark ruff Woofstock 2012. Ruff ruff bark Halvorsen Park. Bow wow wow yippie yo yippie ye Saturday, Aug. 11, yip 10 a.m. yap 6 p.m. Ah! Quick! Get the paper off the floor! Your pooch had “that look” in its eyes (and you haven’t read “Field Notes” yet). Anyway, your pup is stoked. So you’re both going to Woofstock this weekend. What will have tails wagging? Canines are particularly pumped up about the annual Mutt Strut dog parade at 11 a.m. where they’ll get to march the streets of Old Town with hundreds of other four-legged friends and — good news! — butt sniffing laws are rarely enforced in this new, wild progressive era. In addition, furry pals will enjoy dog games — weenie bobbing, cake walk, etc. — and are encouraged to participate in costume, trick, agility, tail wag and owner look-alike contests throughout the day. Hot dog! But fear not, there’s plenty for owners to soak in as well. In addition to many (human) food and beverage booths, each year Woofstock organizers schedule nondog musicians to produce frequencies best enjoyed by human ears. This year is no exception as local bands Cadillac Ranch (4:30 p.m.), Kindred Spirits (2 p.m.), Vintage Rock ‘n’ Soul (12 p.m.), John David Young Trio (11 a.m.) and Li’l Lynne (10 a.m.) will all howl from the Woofstock stage throughout the day. Also, humans may want to purchase a rubber ducky to race on Humboldt Bay on their behalf in the annual Quacks for KEET fundraiser, which starts at 2:30 p.m. Tickets for Woofstock are $12 per two-legged entrant — all proceeds benefit the Sequoia Humane Society.

dvd George Harrison: Living in the Material World Directed by Martin Scorsese Seen last year on pay cable, this Scorsese film on the life of George Harrison is now widely available on DVD. A fair amount of the footage here has been otherwise available, but there’s a lot that comes from Harrison’s “home movies” and photos. There are archival soundbites with Harrison, and new interviews with George’s widow Olivia Harrison (a co-producer) and his son Dhani, as well as with Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono, Eric Clapton and other friends. It’s a two disk set divided into two parts — with The Beatles and life after — as seen on HBO, for a total of 229 minutes, with a few extra scenes and interview snippets as DVD special features, which are nice but not much. I especially felt the absence of some full song performances, as were included in the DVD version of Scorsese’s film on Bob Dylan. Scorsese makes some strange cuts and a few significant omissions, but the major biographical elements are there. It’s a rounded if impressionistic portrait with intriguing cinematic rhymes. A companionable quality emerges with repeated viewings. While interviewees speak of the necessarily intense bond among The Beatles, Scorsese shows images of hysterical fans and the rest of the crazed context. Eric Clapton recalls how magical they were as a group, even moving in ways special to themselves. Post-Beatles music, Harrison’s spiritual journey and interests in film production are all covered. As opposed to Lennon, who was shot to death before his 40th birthday, Harrison was 58 when cancer took him in 2001 — before his time, but not young. The last part of his mature life is especially rich territory for Scorcese, highlighted by Olivia Harrison’s wise and beautiful description of the mutual lessons of their marriage. The film gently considers his wilder and darker moments as well as his spirituality and wit. Several interviewees describe Harrison as having two distinct sides: calm and kind, or angry and acerbic. When he was with The Beatles he yearned to be on his own, and later (someone observes) he missed being in a band. He craved solitude and peace, but had several circles of friends and seemed to have had a special talent for friendship. After John Lennon’s death, a reporter observed to Harrison that Lennon “was no angel.” “No, he wasn’t,” Harrison said, “but he was, as well.” “Was he?” “Yeah.” Ringo recalls visiting Harrison during his final illness, when he was too weak to get out of bed. Ringo told him he had to leave to visit his daughter in Boston, who had a brain tumor. The last words Harrison spoke to him were, “Do you want me to go with you?” — William Kowinski

Emily Blunt and Rosemarie DeWitt in Your Sister's Sister

Talk It Out

Vibrant dialog and complex characters make Your Sister’s Sister a winner By John J. Bennett filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

YOUR SISTER’S SISTER. I was introduced to the work of writer/director Lynn Shelton via Humpday (2009). In that film, Mark Duplass and Joshua Leonard play heterosexual old friends with a mildly antagonistic relationship. Over the course of a drunken evening, they goad each other into making an ultra-indie gay porno for the local amateur smut film festival. I won’t spoil it for you, but I’ll say that the movie mines this scenario for all it’s worth; it’s a clever, unassuming study in the comedy of awkwardness. Your Sister’s Sister, again starring Duplass, is Shelton’s follow-up. Like Humpday, it explores the intermittently dark and funny territory of sexual relationships, but to entirely different effect. The earlier movie was competently made and self-assured, but it had a distinctly D.I.Y. aesthetic and a talky, improvisational structure. Whether it indicates growth as a filmmaker or simply a change in approach I can’t say, but Your Sister’s Sister retains some of that lo-fi charm while incorporating polished camera-work and editing, and an air of authenticity that skirts but avoids preciousness.

Duplass plays Jack, a man who has been rudderless and broken since the death of his brother a year ago. Having watched him slowly implode, his best friend Iris (Emily Blunt) suggests he take some time to himself at her family’s remote cabin. Jack takes her up on the offer, if only because he can’t think of anything else to do. Upon arriving, he discovers Iris’ sister Hannah (Rosemarie DeWitt) already settled in. He needs a friend; she’s riding out the end of a failed long-term relationship. A bottle of tequila comes into play, and things get complicated. Iris shows up out of the blue, and the next several days are spent revealing previously unacknowledged feelings and confronting painful realities. This is hardly the first movie to deal with this sort of thematic material, but Shelton has a knack for succinctly addressing the vagaries of sexual relationships. Here, as in Humpday, she finds the truth of big issues in little interactions and momentary lapses of judgment. In cinema, the pivotal conversations we’ve all had are usually presented like awards acceptance speeches or locker-room pep

talks. But Shelton films them warts and all, full of uncomfortable pauses and imperfect diction. Credit is also due to the actors. Duplass, whose profile keeps rising, is proving himself to be a versatile, brave actor. Having recently watched him in Safety Not Guaranteed, I halfway expected his Jack to be a version of Kenneth from that movie. But he plays Jack as an entirely different sort of sad. He’s remarkably honest, quick-witted and frequently very funny. But the undercurrent of hurt and loneliness is always present just below the surface. Blunt, who is rapidly moving to the top of my list of Most Adorable Humans, has perhaps never been better. Her Iris is sweet, clever and lovelorn. As her relationships with Jack and Hannah are damaged and, eventually, tentatively repaired, the emotional toll is writ large in Blunt’s window-like eyes and perfectly controlled body language. Like Duplass, she makes her character live on screen as a real person: Her performance is so naturalistic, it’s continued on next page

easy to forget she’s acting. Sister is talky and emotional, which I expected. But I was surprised by Shelton’s calm, expansive camerawork. She makes ample use of the scenic beauty of Orcas Island, Wash., frequently slowing down and pulling back to take in the scenery, which allows the movie to open up and breathe, freeing it from the relentless, almost claustrophobic closeness of Humpday. It feels composed and intentional, with its wide angles and smooth editing. This may be “another indie movie about relationships,” but it is smarter, better made and more individual than any I’ve seen in quite a while. R. 90m. TOTAL RECALL. A very good friend of mine refuses to see this remake. She maintains that Paul Verhoeven’s original version is perfect, so what’s the point? My feelings about the 1990 Total Recall aren’t nearly that strong, but now I’ve seen Len Wiseman’s take on it. My friend was right to stay away. My ambivalence about the original aside, it remains a well-made, uniquely 1990s sci-fi action landmark. It has a look and feel that may be impossible to capture in a modern movie. Wiseman must agree, because there’s nothing of that aesthetic in his vision. Instead, he blatantly steals from Star Wars and Bladerunner, evidently hoping that few flashy camera moves and tens of millions of dollars of computer-generated backdrops will carry the day. In brief, Total Recall, which is based on a Philip K. Dick short story, concerns the trials and tribulations of Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell), a factory worker with recurring nightmares that hint at repressed memories. One day he visits Rekall Corp. to buy a chemically engineered mental vacation. Things go sideways: He kills a bunch of cops using combat skills he didn’t know he had, and his wife (Kate Beckinsale) tries to murder him. Turns out he’s the lynchpin in a vast global takeover gambit that goes all the way to the top. The story rambles on and on, and I could barely keep my eyes open through the whole thing. Farrell and Bryan Cranston are both favorites of mine. I’m not sure what convinced them to participate in this thing. Some of the action sequences are rousing, but Wiseman’s grasp of the narrative is so tenuous that they hardly matter. PG13. 118m. —John J. Bennett

COLIN FARRELL TOTAL RECALL

Previews

THE BOURNE LEGACY. Can the Bourne action franchise survive without star Matt Damon? Well, the death of author and creator Robert Ludlum in 2001 hasn’t slowed down the book sequels. This Bourne guy’s unstoppable! For the fourth film installment, Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker) takes center stage and Tony Gilroy (Michael Clayton) directs. PG13. 135m. THE CAMPAIGN. There not much in life that’s as tragically low-brow and absurd as the American political process, which makes it perfect fodder for a broad comedy starring professional doofuses Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis. R. 97m. HOPE SPRINGS. Here’s the official synopsis: “After 30 years of marriage, a middle-aged couple attends an intense, week-long counseling session to work on their relationship.” Sounds awful, right? What could possibly save this movie? Well, if stars Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones can’t do it, no one can. PG13. 100m. A busy stretch at the Arcata Theatre Lounge starts with Sci-Fi Pint and Pizza Night this Thursday, featuring alien encounters. Hyper Sapien (1986) involves a man named Dirt and a three-eyed alien baby who feeds on gasoline and hot coals. That’ll be followed by The Day Time Ended (1980), in which exploding stars conjure dinosaurs, aliens and robots (oh my!). Friday night, the touring short-film festival Future Shorts arrives with a new assortment of experimental, animated, scripted and documentary films. On Sunday, if you’re so inclined, you could go back to the first year at Hogwarts with Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (2001). And next Wednesday, believe it or not, there’s another Sci-Fi Pint and Pizza Night, this one featuring the 1985 British comedy Morons From Outer Space and the 1978 Italian sci-fi thriller The Eyes Behind the Stars.

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN. Director Mark Webb manages to give Spidey new dimension in this satisfying, if extraneous, reboot. PG13. 136m. 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. THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. Christopher Nolan completes his Batman trilogy with this mournful, contemplative blockbuster that still brings the exhilarating action. PG13. 164m. DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: DOG DAYS. Slapstick kid comedy in which the titular “wimpy kid” has a mishap at a public pool, among other misadventures. PG. 94m. ICE AGE: CONTINENTAL DRIFT. More prehistoric hijinks from Manny the mammoth, Diego the saber-tooth and Sid, the lisping sloth. PG. 94m. MAGIC MIKE. Channing Tatum stars as a male stripper/aspiring entrepreneur in director Steven Soderbergh’s gritty-yetfleshy drama. R. 110m. PROMETHEUS. Ridley Scott’s prequel to Alien features breathtaking visuals and strong performances. R. 124m. STEP UP REVOLUTION. Go for the dancing; stay for the … well, the dancing is pretty much the only draw here. PG13. 97m. TED. This feature film debut from Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane, about a pothead Bostonian (Mark Wahlberg) and his sentient teddy bear, is crass, uproarious and surprisingly touching. R. 106m. THE WATCH. A sci-fi comedy starring Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill and Richard Ayoade that wastes a fine cast on crass, formulaic material. R. 101m. —Ryan Burns

Night Sky Rendezvous By Barry Evans

fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com

he best planetary conjunction of the year is coming up soon, with the added attraction that the bright star Spica is part of the action. Mars and Saturn will be at their closest next week, but any time between now and the next couple of weeks will make for a pretty cluster of the three bright objects, with the waxing crescent moon moving in on Aug. 21. The planets of the solar system all orbit around the sun in approximately the same plane, within about five degrees. (Used to be, before its demotion to a “dwarf plant” in 2006, I’d have to add “other than Pluto,” whose orbit is inclined at 17 degrees.) That plane translates to the “ecliptic” line on star maps, the sun’s annual path through the background stars. The moon and planets move within a strip of sky extending on each side of the ecliptic. There’s nothing magical about planetary conjunctions — they happen regularly and predictably, for the simple reason that planets closer to the sun move faster in their orbits than do the ones farther out. Mars, for instance, orbiting half again as far from the sun as we do, takes about two Earth years to go around the sun; meanwhile Saturn, nine times farther away from the sun than Earth, takes nearly 30 years to make one revolution. This means that, at a little more than two-year intervals, Mars appears to overtake Saturn. It happened in late July 2010 and will happen again in late August 2014. Mars and Saturn will be at their closest on the evening of Aug. 14. Look to the west an hour or so after sunset. Don’t wait

too long: the sun sets soon after 8 p.m., while the two planets set around 10:30 p.m. Binoculars will enhance their contrasting colors. Mars, magnitude 1.1, has a rusty hue due to iron in its surface dust. Brighter Saturn (magnitude 0.8), to the right of Mars on the 14th, is slightly yellow from ammonia in its thick atmosphere. The blue-white star Spica lies to the left of Mars, shining about as brightly as the planet. Spica, the 15th brightest star in the sky, is easily found even when it’s not involved in a planetary conjunction. From the Big Dipper’s curved handle, you can, in the words of the old sky navigation mnemonic, “Arc to Arcturus” (a bright orange star) then “Speed to Spica.” Spica, “ear of corn,” is the brightest star in the constellation Virgo. A week after the conjunction, with Mars and Saturn still quite close, the moon joins them. Check the twilight western sky on the night of Aug. 21 for a rare quadruple conjunction: Mars, Saturn, Spica and the 4-day-old moon. As you gaze, consider this: moonlight (reflected sunlight) takes a little more than a second to reach your eyes; light left Mars 14 minutes ago, and Saturn an hour ago. Meanwhile you’re seeing Spica, 260 light years distant, as it appeared in 1752, the year Betsy Ross was born. l Barry Evans’ (barryevans9@yahoo. com) love affair with the moon is platonic, pure and passionate. He will be giving a talk in the “local authors” series at the main Eureka Library on Saturday, Aug. 25 at 1 p.m. For reservations call 269-1991 or email hlf@humboldt.org

ASSESSOR’S PARCEL NO. 520-051-013-000 NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 707-443-0837 for information regarding the trustee’s sale and inquire as to the status of the foreclosure using the T.S. number assigned to this foreclosure shown on the first page of this notice. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The unpaid balance and estimate of costs, expenses and advances as of July 24, 2012 is $133,608.47; said amount will increase until date of sale.

Humboldt County Records. ASSESSOR’S PARCEL NO. 300-252-028 and 300-251-017 NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 707-443-0837 for information regarding the trustee’s sale and inquire as to the status of the foreclosure using the T.S. number assigned to this foreclosure shown on the first page of this notice. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The unpaid balance and estimate of costs, expenses and advances as of July 16, 2012 is $54,130.89; said amount will increase until date of sale. The street address or other common designation, if any, of the real property described herein is purported to be: APNs 300-252-028 and 300-251-017. Sale is of the land only. Mobile home is not included in the sale. Directions may be obtained pursuant to a written request submitted to the Beneficiary.
