An open letter to the community: In light of recent events, I feel the need to submit a statement of my own. As the owner of Redwood Curtain Brewing Company, I, Drake Mollberg, do not condone Eli LaRue’s actions in any way, shape, or form. I feel his actions in the early hours of Saturday, Aug. 18, 2012, were unacceptable. I hope this is not construed as a reflection of Redwood Curtain Brewing Company’s role in the community. My family, wife, and two children treasure this community and intend to support it for years to come.

I would like it to be known that effective immediately, Eli LaRue is no longer a partner in Redwood Curtain Brewing Company. I truly hope he takes this event as an impetus to take some time to look at his behavior and its impacts on others and to improve upon himself. I have encouraged him to seek professional help.

Recycling?

Tell us More Editor: It was good to find out more about what actually happens to recycled materials (“The Recyclable Journey,” Aug. 23).

It would also be good to find out more about what can currently be recycled, since that seems to be changing. Apparently things like six-pack, milk and egg cartons that were not acceptable before are now. But pizza boxes are not. Some updated information on this, perhaps printed in the Journal or sent out with the garbage bill, would be useful.

Charles Minton, Bayside Editor: We live outside city limits and have trash/recycle service through Humboldt Recology.

The recycle stuff is single stream into blue plastic bags. Then a trash truck (same as garbage) picks up everything and compacts it all. They sort the smashed bags back in Eureka and ship to Willits via the outsourced third party.

How much smashed glass con-

taminates the cardboard, and how much cross-contamination takes place when it’s all smashed together? This makes a large volume of recyclables that get tossed into landfill as they are unfit to sort. I’m guessing this untold story would blow the lid off as folks around here will not stand for say 20 to 35 percent trash from their recyclables. Has anyone followed up on what’s going on with this one bag mess we ship out as recyclables?

Mark Cortright, McKinleyville [Editor’s note: Recology Humboldt County is experimenting with same-truck collections in Garberville and in the Fieldbrook/Blue Lake area to keep rates down, according to the company’s general manager, Mike Leggins. Some of the blue bags do break and some recyclables are lost, possibly around 10 percent, Leggins said. The company is trying out some heavier bags and plans to reassess at the end of January, after a full year of sametruck collection, he said.]

In Praise of Squires Editor: I have rented from Floyd Squires for over six years, and I disagree with “Limbo Land” (Aug. 16). I’ve been here to witness him fixing the front and back door almost weekly.

People will rent from him and then pay one month’s rent. When they don’t have the next month’s rent and have already damaged the apartment beyond their ability to recover their deposits, they destroy as much as they can, then leave.

Sometimes their damage is in the thousands of dollars. Every time he replaces the extinguishers somebody breaks or steals them.

I’ve never had any trouble getting any repairs that I ask for.

Vagrants break in the building. They leave feces everywhere, garbage, needles, etc. So for those who are mad, pay your rent and keep your place clean. Get repairs as needed. Floyd and Betty Squires are most people’s last resort because nobody will take a chance with them.

Everybody pointing fingers either wants free living or they are room jumpers. Floyd and Betty Squires have been excellent owners. I also pay my rent.

One man trying to keep his building safe can’t stop people from breaking in; it’s only a misdemeanor, trespassing. My shower broke, and within 24 hours I had a working one again.

So before you judge and point fingers, he provides living space for the poorer people and gets screwed in the long run.

the annual NCJ Best of Humboldt readers poll, I included a link to the survey ballot on my blog, “Like You’ve Got Something Better To Do” (www.lygsbtd.wordpress. com), encouraging my readers to participate in the survey.

readers who felt inclined to respond to your survey have already had their votes unfairly, unceremoniously and wrongly rejected. This constitutes a travesty of justice, an assault against “Like You’ve Got Something Better To Do” readers, and a corruption of the democratic process. As a result, your survey is tainted, distorted and skewed, even.

My blog has been unfairly victimized, disadvantaged and injured by the NCJ‘s flawed and intentionally discriminatory voter ID protocol. I am outraged that the NCJ would stoop to the kind electoral shenanigans that I expect from Florida republicans, just to keep their readers from discovering what many in Humboldt County already know, that “Like You’ve Got Something Better To Do” is the funniest blog in Humboldt County.

Light in August

Inland, the polished-gem lyricism of birdsong sounds in the distance, barely audible within the airless womb of heat-stroked August.

The mood of the somnolent afternoon is as elusive as sex and death: Conjugal rigors and rigor mortis are soaked in the sweat of ebbing summer’s languor; not the slightest breeze tugs at the window curtains of the bedroom.

The sizzling trill of cicadas rises from the weed-infested culverts of the black metaled road, where the tar bubbles languidly with pungent, breath-taking fumes.

The motionless, suffocating ambience is as hot as a kiln.

Visibly invisible waves of heat swelter in the feverish light, one of nature’s sensory paradoxes.

Light in August exposes the mysterious essences of things, ripeness about to burst and poised to shrivel, phenomena seen but not heard, heard but not seen, felt but not touched, experienced but not grasped.

Penalty Kicks: Off the Field The soccer season’s over but not the controversy

By Scottie Lee Meyers scottie@northcoastjournal.com

I

t’s been just over a week since Humboldt State University President Rollin Richmond canceled the upcoming men’s soccer season, and players and their parents are still grumbling about the decision, wishing they had a referee to officiate what they’re calling campus politics. Rumors are swirling and athletes are unwilling to talk on the record, frightened of further discipline.

“Not without my lawyer,” or “I don’t want to comment” was what current soccer players consistently said when pressed for details about an Aug. 4 offcampus party attended by all but one player. A campus-led investigation, which began when someone called university administrators two days later, concluded the party involved underage drinking and hazing. Anxiety still reverberates from the locker rooms and into the classrooms as members of the women’s soccer team, facing similar accusations, await the fate of their upcoming season. A decision is expected soon.

Parents of players have been exchanging emails among themselves and with the administration, saying a stern probation would have sufficed, instead of the president’s “draconian” decision to cancel the season. But the administration, well aware of hazing tragedies across campuses nationwide, says it wants to send a clear message that hazing won’t be tolerated at HSU. As a practicing attorney in Sacramento, Mark Swartz believes everyone is entitled

to due process. He feels his 21-year-old son Austin Swartz, a junior midfielder, was robbed of a fair hearing, the victim of an administration that did not justify its decision and was all too willing to play judge, jury and executioner. “Why is your punishment so harsh?” Swartz asks rhetorically, as if he were speaking to the president instead of on the phone to the Journal. “He’s never answered that question. Period.”

Swartz is primarily a civil attorney now, but when he was a deputy district attorney, prosecuting first-time offenders who didn’t inflict bodily harm, they typically got probation and a second chance, he said. He wishes the school would act more like a court of law. “Everybody screws up, and you get a warning that if it happens again there will be serious consequences.

This was a knee-jerk reaction.”

But Richmond worries that there might not be a second chance. “How would I have liked to call a father or mother and say, ‘Sorry, we didn’t do a good enough job to stop hazing, your son is dead?’” Still in the president’s mind is a 2005 incident at nearby Chico State University, where a man died after drinking too much water as part of a fraternity initiation which also required dancing in raw sewage. As of February 2010, hazing has killed 96 people, with 82 percent of the deaths involving alcohol, according to the National Collaborative for Hazing Research and Prevention.

party put the lives of two students at risk from alcohol poisoning. But since the investigation didn’t begin until two days after the party, and since neither student received any medical treatment according to campus authorities, it was unclear what information the college relied on to determine lives had been at risk.

HSU athletic director Dan Collen, who helped lead the investigations along with the student affairs department, said canceling the season was a painful decision for the president. “He certainly agonized over it. There were a lot of conversations.

I do support it though. [Hazing] can’t be tolerated.”

Richmond said that there were some differences of opinion on what the appropriate level of disciplinary action should be. “But I made the ultimate decision, primarily based on the fact that people’s lives were put in danger.”

What makes the university’s decision particularly frustrating, said Swartz, is that parents can’t see the investigative report or details of the interviews on which it was based. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act requires that schools have a student’s consent before disclosing of educational records. Swartz said several athletes have asked to view the reports but haven’t seen them yet.

With the athletes’ refusals to talk and the investigative report still under wraps, it’s impossible to say what exactly happened at the Aug. 4 party. But it seems clear that there is, and has been, what Collen described at a press conference as a “tradition” of hazing.

Swartz has heard about rowdy, embarrassing initiation parties — but he says it’s not hazing because attendance is not required in order to win a spot on the team. “What I’ve heard is that this has been going on for years. It’s a tradition.

My son went through it, and he said it was silly and kind of funny, but not a big deal to him. My son said you don’t have to sit there and pound alcohol. You can stop or take a break. Or not show up,” Swartz said.

What about the rumors swirling about past year’s parties, the diaper-wearing and penis pacifiers for new team members, the penalties for those who didn’t drink enough, including forced streaking or dildos taped to a hand?

Swartz hadn’t heard anything about dildos or pacifiers. The diapers, he said, that has happened. It’s just not hazing, as he’d define it.

But that was a past party, and details of the most recent one are hard to come by. Michael Streck-Woodward, a member of the football team, said he briefly stopped by the infamous Aug. 4 party. “It was a typical college party, loud music,

dancing, alcohol. But nothing in gratuitous amounts that would cause harm.” Student athletes in other sports are standing by the soccer players, he said. “It’s mostly a sad situation. I wish they had their season so we could all support them.”

The soccer players haven’t lost any scholarship support because their season was canceled, but for most, soccer was a vital part of campus life. Parents are steaming because they haven’t been able to schedule a meeting with the president, Swartz said. And he’s lashing out at Peg Blake, who largely conducted the investigation, saying her own record of drinking and driving makes her a hypocrite.

Blake, vice president of student affairs, did not return multiple phone calls from the Journal, and university president Richmond tried to deflect the attack on her, saying HSU knew about her past when it hired her, and that she has contributed to student life.

In 2005, when Blake was the vice president of student affairs at Boise State University, she was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol with her 8-year-old child in the front seat, according to the school’s student newspaper. Police stopped her for driving the wrong direction down a one-way street, and her blood alcohol content registered three times over the legal .08 limit, the paper said. The university suspended Blake and she later resigned. Blake pleaded guilty to driving under the influence, Idaho state records show, and was given probation and six months in jail, with at least 165 days of the jail time suspended.

The charges were later dismissed after she completed court-imposed requirements. Blake has “engaged in far worse behaviors than these kids,” Swartz said.

And yet, “She got a second chance in the court system. The criminal court system gave her probation and didn’t take her kid away,” he said.

Richmond sees Blake’s past as an asset to HSU. “she has been punished and she sees the importance that making sure people understand that it’s not tolerated and to send a strong message when it is violated.”

With soccer on hold for this academic year, administrators say they’re trying to ensure that athletics at HSU will change fundamentally. As a result of the hazing allegations, the athletic department plans to start random drug and alcohol testing for student athletes. The new test, to be administered by the university, will be in addition to testing already conducted by the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The athletic department will also require student athletes to sign a nonhazing agreement each year. ●

Blog Jammin’ ANIMALS, ENTERTAINMENT, FAIR, HORSE RACES / BY HEIDI WALTERS / AUG. 22, 12:23 P.M.

A Fair Day The young man watched the horses parade around the corral near the race track just before the race. His gaze lingering on Western Roses (No. 3), a curious, rollyeyed steed with tongue perpetually stuck far out and to the right like a manic comic pushing to squeeze every last laugh out of his audience. Lookiloos, wandering up to stare a few seconds, noticed the tongue and laughed.

Was it funny? Was it sad or bad?

The trainer leading W.R. seemed to think it embarrassing, at least, as he kept trying to stuff the horse’s tongue back inside his mouth. W.R. wasn’t having it, and back out came the tongue.

The young man looked down at his racing form and made a note.

“You’re betting on No. 3?” a stranger asked him.

“I think I might,” he said.

“You’re not bothered by the tongue?”

“No, I always look for a horse that shows me something different.”

And soon the horses were shooting from the gate and trampling down the groomed, wetted track. The crowd in the stands and on the grass roared in betfueled excitement.

Western Roses came in third. Maybe that mattered to the “something different” fellow. But the race grounds were filled with happy devil-may-careness. Lots of people with a stake on a pony or a jockey. Lots more with a simple stake in having a good time. After the last race, some of them planned to saunter back out into the main fairgrounds to get a funnel cake drenched in strawberry and chocolate, then a beer, then a corn dog, eye the healthful vegetarian stall ruefully, go inside to pet the goats and talk to the cows and scratch a hog’s belly then check out the collections and quilts and bizarro dollhouses, then wander back out into the

foggy light for some of those beerbattered fries and, after a decent minute or two, an espresso. ● FACEBOOK / BY ANDREW GOFF / AUG. 27, 9:44 A.M.

● BUSINESS, BEER / BY RYAN BURNS / AUG. 27, 12:44 P.M.

LaRue Out at Redwood Curtain Brewing Co. In the aftermath of his alcohol-fueled confrontation and arrest on Aug. 18, Eli LaRue has relinquished his half-ownership of Redwood Curtain Brewing Co., the business he co-founded with Drake Mollberg in 2010.

In a phone interview this morning, Mollberg said LaRue’s behavior is unacceptable.

“Eli has a drinking problem. He needs to focus on himself and his family and really work on becoming a better person.”

The two men met as Oregon State University students in the 1990s, according to the HSU Lumberjack.

Mollberg said LaRue’s behavior on Aug. 18 does not reflect the values of the company or its 12 employees. “We want to be a part of this community. We want to grow this community. And we want to offer our deepest apologies to the women who were affected by this.”

LaRue confirmed via email that he relinquished his share of the company to Mollberg, who will now be the sole owner.

LaRue also resigned from the Arcata Planning Commission, to which he’d been appointed on Aug. 15. ● BUSINESS, CRIME, GOVERNMENT / BY RYAN BURNS / AUG. 24, 9:59 A.M.

Planning Commish Goes Drunken Door-Kicking Eli LaRue, the 32-year-old co-owner of Redwood Curtain Brewing Company and a recent appointee to the Arcata Planning Commission, has been charged with public drunkenness and violating his probation after reportedly trying to break into a house in downtown Arcata last weekend, terrifying the two women who’d been sleeping inside.

Arcata residents Jen Ables and Maral Attallah say LaRue repeatedly and violently tried to break into their home in the wee hours of last Saturday morning, damaging a window screen and nearly kicking in a side door, even as they yelled at him to leave. [Disclosure: I’ve met both women in passing at social gatherings, but neither is a close friend.]

LaRue was appointed to the city’s planning commission last Wednesday. Via email, he initially declined to comment on the incident, but later sent a statement to the Journal, saying in part: I wish to offer my sincerest apologies to the two women. … I would like to assure them that I meant them no harm, and am truly sorry that I put them through an experience that made them feel unsafe in their own home and community. … My actions in the morning hours of Aug. 18 are indefensible, and embarrassing. All I can do is ask these two women, and the community, for forgiveness.

See his full statement on our website, in the comments section below this item.

In another update, LaRue has submitted a letter of resignation from the planning commission to city staff. The city council is expected to accept his resignation at its Sept. 5 meeting.

In a phone interview, Ables said she was awakened shortly after 4 a.m. by her dogs’ frantic barking. Suspecting cats or raccoons, she peered out the window but saw nothing. She went back to bed, but 20 minutes later there were more thuds, more barking. She got up to investigate, just as a loud boom snapped her roommate awake.

“I knew immediately someone was trying to break into the side door,” Attallah said. “The windows off of the kitchen shook. The whole house shook.”

Ables was terrified, but Attallah remained level-headed, telling Ables firmly but calmly to go back to her room — someone was trying to break in.

“I just screamed ’cause I got really, really scared,” Ables said.

Attallah told her to call 911, which she did, begging the dispatcher to hurry. Attallah then approached the side door and peered through its glass panes, catching a glimpse of a man, she said. Two more kicks. The door shook with each impact but didn’t give.

their home, the women had installed new deadbolts. Now, that thumb-sized stub of metal held their door firmly to the jamb.

Attallah called out to Ables, loud enough for the man outside to hear: “Get the shotgun! Get the handgun! Anyone comes to the door you shoot.”

On the other side of the door, the man responded by muttering, “Hey,” Attallah recalled.

She declined to say whether she actually owns a shotgun and a handgun. “I believe in my Second Amendment rights.

That’s what I feel comfortable saying.”

Nearly hysterical with fear, Ables returned to her room and grabbed a small baseball bat. The man, she said, continued kicking the door. Attallah recalled what happened next: I yelled, ‘I have a shotgun! You need to leave!’ He said, ‘Hey, I’m comin’ in.’ That’s when I said, ‘I will blow your fucking head off.’ At that point he stopped.

The man climbed nimbly over the chain-link fence that surrounds the side yard and then fled, Attallah said. Arcata police officers arrived almost immediately thereafter and apprehended LaRue. Both women feel that LaRue should

have been charged with more than just public drunkenness, which is a misdemeanor and, for LaRue, a probation violation. (Last year he pleaded “no contest” to misdemeanor driving under the influence.)

Ables in particular says she was traumatized by the experience.

“I’m still scared. That sucks. I still can’t sleep. He took away that sense of security at home. That’s not fair.”

Arcata officials would not release any details about the incident to the Journal, but the women said they were told by Arcata police officer Bob Martinez that LaRue had a blood alcohol level of 0.214, nearly three times the legal limit for driving. Officer Martinez also told them that LaRue thought he was at his own house, and that he was too drunk to be charged with a more serious crime, such as vandalism or attempted burglary, according to Attallah and Ables.

Both women are frustrated. “It feels like we were really terrorized,” Ables said.

But according to UC Davis Law Professor Gabriel “Jack” Chin, it is difficult to convict a person who was that drunk of a “specific intent” crime — “that is, one where you have to have some particular purpose, motive or resolve, like burglary,” Chin said.

California Penal Code Section 22 states

that voluntary intoxication won’t get you off the hook for any criminal liability, but it can be used as a defense to argue that you were too hammered to commit a “specific intent” crime.

“Now, does that mean a jury would necessarily accept [that defense]?” Chin asked. “No. Those sorts of mental state defenses are often rejected, and some states have abolished them by statute.”

But California is not one of those states, and Chin said other factors are often considered, such as whether or not the suspect has committed violent crimes.

Ables said the Arcata police department tried to put her at ease by telling her that LaRue has no history of violent crimes.

After hearing the details listed above, Chin said he understood why LaRue wasn’t charged with anything more serious. “Drunk in public does sort of cover the situation you’re describing to me,” he said.

Attallah and Ables disagree. “Let’s be honest here: Giving someone a drunk in public? That’s a slap on the wrist,” Attallah said. ● READ FULL POSTS AND SEE PHOTOS AT

little pumphouse, cloud-colored with dark gray trim, stands in a corner of the dandelion-stuffed former horse pasture next to the Arbor Glen Mobile Home Park in Del Norte County. Behind the pumphouse and a wooden electrical pole shivers a patch of the dark forest — alders, redwoods — that defines this sun-and-fog land. And beyond the trees, U.S. Highway 101: From this point, for northbound travelers, await the touristy goofballs Paul Bunyon and Babe the Blue Ox at Trees of Mystery, the wavesplashed beauty of False Klamath Cove, trailheads to grand tree- and fern-choked places with names like Damnation Creek, and, 17 miles away, the practical next pitstop and home of Pelican Bay Penitentiary, Crescent City. For southbound travelers, just a mile and a half lands them in the little townsite of Klamath, a blip of houses, gas station convenience, smoked salmon shops and Yurok tribal offices.

Then the Klamath River, floating dreamily under the bridge guarded by golden bears, and yet more forested, oceanfringed beauty before reaching Arcata, 57 miles from the pumphouse.

Last Wednesday, around about 5 p.m., Fred Stockett — owner of the pumphouse, the well inside it, the mobile home park nearby and the rest of this 125-acre parcel encased in wild, northwest wonderland — was standing next to his truck parked by the pumphouse when the law arrived to arrest him.

dressed in his official black DA’s jacket — and with a holstered personal gun on his right hip, a brace on his right leg (which he’d injured in a July 4 dunk tank incident at a school-sports fundraiser), and a crutch under his left arm — showed Stockett the warrant.

Yurok Tribe Police Sgt. Thorin McCovey, faintly goateed just like the DA but younger, showed him the handcuffs. Stockett submitted without incident.

In a photo capturing the moment, the big, blocky man looks bewildered — a worried crinkle in his forehead, a pulled tension to his mouth. His red Tshirt, bulging over a 60-year-old chest and belly, and baggy dark sweatpants suggest he’d spent the day doing grubby work, or intending to.

As the landlord was driven away in custody, reported the DA with satisfaction the next day over the phone, the 20 or so Arbor Glen residents who had gathered outside their mobile homes were cheering.

Fred Stockett’s troubles had just deepened. But the residents’ troubles — at least the ones they say he was the cause of — might be easing.

Maybe they’d be able to flush their toilets again.

Maybe they’d have potable, running water someday.

Maybe there’d be official trash pickup once more, instead of that open-aired trailer Stockett had put out that the bears kept getting into, scattering garbage and crapping big, steaming fly-cakes and scaring the bejeesus out of everyone.

Maybe some other stuff would get fixed.

Maybe.

For years, some Arbor Glen residents claim — in interviews, in small-claims lawsuits filed in Del Norte County Superior Court and in a class-action suit filed in Yurok Tribal Court — they had battled

DEL NORTE COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY JON ALEXANDER AND YUROK TRIBE SGT. THORIN MCCOVEY ARRESTED ARBOR GLEN OWNER FRED STOCKETT LAST WEEK ON SUSPICION OF DEFRAUDING HIS TENANTS, ELDER ABUSE AND COMMITTING A FELONY WHILE OUT ON BAIL FOR ANOTHER FELONY. PHOTO SPECIAL TO THE NORTH COAST JOURNAL

with their landlords, Fred Stockett and his wife, Lorna Livingtree, to fix this and that.

But since late June — and some say even earlier — all of the residents had been hostage to the weird water machinations of the financially troubled, ornery Stockett and, toward the end, the tangled bureaucracy of the state. Their rent went up — to cover higher water and other bills, they said the landlord told them. Then their water was turned off. Then it was turned back on — and came out stinky, different and murky.

They got sick, they claimed, from that new water, which they learned came from the well in the field pumphouse, not the local municipal system the park had long been hooked up to.

They complained to the landlords, to

the county, to the state regulators. They filed lawsuits. The state stepped in — and eventually the tribal cop and the DA, who arrested Stockett on suspicion of defrauding his tenants and allowing conditions to get so bad they constituted elder abuse.

What happened?

The story begins at the Redwood Park Community Services District, a public utility that serves a 35-home subdivision a half mile north of Arbor Glen. Since the early 1980s, it also has provided water service to Arbor Glen — based on a handshake agreement between the district and the park’s owners at the time, says the district’s chairperson, Robert Nulph (who also is the superintendent of the Yurok Tribe’s public utility district).

When Stockett bought Arbor Glen about nine years ago, Nulph says, the district decided to formalized the park’s connection and asked Stockett to sign a water user agreement that would be renewed every five years. He refused.

“We let him stay hooked up,” Nulph said. “We didn’t want to cut him off, because he was paying the bill.”

In 2009, the district raised its rates and introduced a new structure that Stockett said was unfair. He sued, and lost. Meanwhile, Nulph said, the half-mile water line between the district’s ARBOR GLEN RESIDENT SONNYMAN DOWNS HAS well and Arbor Glen appeared BEEN SAVING WATER SAMPLES SINCE THE DAY THE STUFF STARTED COMING OUT OF HIS FAUCET SMELLY AND LOOKING LIKE TEA.

to be leaking, putting usage at Stockett’s 40-unit park at more than double the nearby 35-home subdivision. Stockett owns that water line and is responsible for maintaining it, Nulph says.

In May, Stockett stopped paying his water bill, which was averaging $2,800 a month. On June 28, when Stockett was behind $9,032, the district shut off Arbor Glen’s connection. Stockett, meanwhile, had had workers digging trenches, disconnecting pipes and laying new pipes in anticipation of the cutoff. The park was dry two days — residents we interviewed said they sort of went with the flow, because this had happened in years past on occasion.

On June 30, Stockett turned on the new water system, connected to the well in the field next to his park. When dirty, stinky water came out of the taps and some residents started getting sick, someone complained to the Del Norte County Health Department and the state department of public health. Stockett was ordered to send water samples to a lab in Arcata, and the results came back positive for coliform bacteria, which can cause diarrhea, vomiting,

stomach pains and urinary tract infections.

On July 4 notices went up telling residents to boil their water. Then another state department stepped in: the department of housing and community development, the building and codes enforcer for mobile home parks in many municipalities, including all of them in Del Norte and Humboldt counties. That department notified Stockett on July 6 that he was violating state health and safety code by providing nonpotable water through an unpermitted water system.

He was ordered to provide five gallons of water per person per day until he had brought the system up to state standards — tested, inspected and permitted. He would be charged double fees for this work.

Stockett wrote his own letter to residents on July 6. He apologized for the water problems, said that tests had found coliforms and he was working on a remedy. “We just had to get away from Redwood Park Water District,” he wrote, adding

that the water bill under the new set up was only going to cost him $300 a month. In the meantime, he said he would pass out six gallons of drinking water to each household.

People could call him if they needed more.

On July 26, the department of housing and community development issued an ultimatum: Fix the system and permit it by Sept. 1, or Stockett’s license to operate the park would be suspended. The department of public health sent him a notice on Aug. 6 ordering him to turn off the unpermitted, unsafe water system. It hinted at the possibility of a daily $25,000 fine for continued violation.

Later, the target shutoff order was eased over concerns that residents shouldn’t be left without any water for fire protection or toilet flushing, but Stockett said he hadn’t heard about that change. On Aug. 16 he shut

off the water and sent everyone in the park a 60-day eviction notice. On Aug. 21, the state ordered Stockett to turn the water back on within 24 hours. When he did not, the state suspended his permit to operate the park, and the DA and the tribal cop swooped in.

Sonnyman Downs

thunked another bottle of scummy water onto the edge of his fishing boat, drydocked in the dirt beside the mobile he’s shared with his wife, Linda Wilson, and their two kids, ages 10 and 8, since 2002. He scowled at the lineup of mismatched bottles, all shapes and sizes. He had more like that stowed away.

“Every day since the water changed, I take a sample of the water out of my tap,” he said, taking a sip from a can of Pepsi.

It was midday on Monday, Aug. 20 — the day before the state would order Stockett to turn the well back on, two days before he would be arrested, four days since he’d turned the well off, and 54 days since the Redwood Park Community Services District shut Arbor Glen’s water

off and Stockett switched the park over to the well in the field.

Though they’d noticed a change back then — the water was dark, and low pressure — and people were getting sick, nobody knew just what had happened, Downs said, until days later when the landlord issued a notice urging them to boil their water and apologizing for the inconvenience.

“I got sick,” Downs said. “I was pretty messed up for about five days — diarrhea and vomiting. I’m only 49, though, and I’m one of those nutheads who wait it out.”

There were elders in the park who’d been really sick, he said, and babies. Some went to the doctor, although nobody has medical documents identifying water contamination as the cause of their discomforts.

By August, with the water problem still not fixed, Downs and some others had quit paying rent altogether.

About 15 people, including kids and babies, and an assortment of frolicking dogs had gathered in the dirt clearing by the boat now. Everyone started talking. Downs’ sister, Veronica Downs, walked up and set another big bottle on the boat. A billowy yellow substance jiggled in the bottom of it.

“A bunch of pillow-top,” she said.

Dusty Davidson, a fidgety, anxious 38-year-old, said he and his mom, Sharon, who’s disabled, can’t move out — they don’t have a security deposit to reclaim. They

moved into their two-bedroom mobile three years ago rent free because Davidson took care of Stockett’s livestock in a field behind the park. That deal ended, though, and Stockett got rid of the livestock. Now they’re paying $700 a month. “We don’t know what’s going to happen,” Dusty said, starting to cry. “I asked welfare. I asked Del Norte human services — no help. Because I’m not a woman with kids. It’s just me and my mom.”

Two girls, Ashley Turner and Jasmine Pacheco, listened seriously. They’re best friends.

“We’ve both lived here two years,” said Pacheco. “This is where our friendship started.”

Turner said her family — her mom and dad, she and her two siblings, and her uncle — have resorted to using paper plates and cups. Her dad bought a five-gallon solar camping shower from Wal-Mart which they fill from a white water tank donated by the Yurok Tribe for temporary use. They park the camping shower in the sun for several hours and then use it in their mobile’s bathroom, plugging the tub to catch the water which they then use to fill the toilet tanks.

“I think he just wants us to ditch this place,” Pacheco said about the landlord.

Nearby, Charlotte Bernier’s front door was open, a huge Christmas cactus guarding it. She was sitting on the couch inside, next to a chair draped in a colorful wool blanket with the words “Honored Yurok Elder” embroidered on it. Bernier, who’s lived here 14 years and owns her mobile, said she’s been filling water bottles at the tank provided by the tribe. continued on next page

“I’m 73 years old and going and getting water is just ridiculous,” she said. “I have arthritis. It’s putting me out.

Washing clothes — I don’t know. I’m going to have to take them someplace. Maybe to my daughter’s in Crescent City.”

Bernier is the lead plaintiff in a complaint by 18 residents against Stockett and Livingtree, filed July 19 in Yurok Tribal Court. Bernier and her sister, and about half the other tenants at Arbor Glen, she said, are Yurok Tribal members.

The park isn’t on Yurok land, and the landlords aren’t Yurok.

But, the complaint notes, the landlords live in a “large yellow house” on the reservation. Besides detailed allegations, the suit notes some of Stockett’s Charlotte Bernier, 73, owns her mobile home and personal affairs: his arrest in has lived in Arbor Glen 14 years. She and other January on suspicion of “lewd residents filed a class-action suit in Yurok Tribal and lascivious acts with a child Court against their landlord, Fred Stockett.

Several residents began withholding their rent as the water problem persisted, including Bernier and her sister and brother-in-law, Darrelen and Juan Romero (right).

to Arbor Glen from Crescent City 20 years ago. They paid $150 for the space rent. A couple years after Stockett bought the park, said Juan, he raised their rent to $350, which includes water. Recently he raised it again, supposedly to cover higher water, electricity and garbage bills.

Outside, Sonnyman Downs was tinkering on a friend’s busted boat engine now and drinking a Rockstar. He said he could be fishing — the commercial salmon season had opened the day before. He could be working in his scrap metal business. But he

answered his cell phone last Wednesday he sounded out of breath. It was a few minutes before 4 p.m., and he said he was at the pumphouse in the field next to Arbor Glen, getting ready to turn the well back on. He was wary about talking to a reporter, but he wanted to tell his side of the story. Because, it isn’t easy being a landlord.

Stockett and his wife own about 10 pieces of property in Del Norte County, consisting of 57 parcels — most of them mobile home spaces. There are 40 spaces at Arbor Glen — seven occupied by tenant-owned homes, and the rest by mobile home rentals and at least one RV. More than 60 people have lived there in the past. Now only about 20 or 25 people live there, he said — oc-

cupancy’s been dropping, anyway, and since this water fiasco began, he’s moved some families over to another of his properties, Village Mobile Home Park in Klamath.

But long before he fell in arrears on his water bill — whether through orneriness about paying the new rates, or lack of money, or both — Stockett’s money troubles were mounting.

“We were losing $10,000 a month at the mobile home parks,” he said. “We were bringing in rents, but we were about 25 percent vacant. We had more bills than income — $800 and something for a yearly permit to operate.

Taxes on every mobile home you own. We owe a lot of money. Between $250,000 and $300,000 needs to be paid today. Mortgages, trash people, water people, taxes — it’s all past due. And at most of our other properties, we’re at least two payments behind.

We’ve been losing money for two years, and it just became overwhelming lately.”

When Recology’s rates went up, Stockett said, he fell behind in payments by about $6,000. That service ended, and he started bringing a rail-sided truck-pulled trailer out to the site where the Recology bins used to go and directing tenants to dump their trash there. (By Aug. 20, the trailer was gone and trash was piled on the ground and scattered into the weeds.)

And then there are bad tenants.

“Since we’ve been here,” he said, “the amount renters have cheated us out of is over three quarters of a million dollars,” he said. That was at his two mobile home parks continued on page 19

An Early Thanksgiving

In praise of Humboldt’s local bounty

By Simona Carini

talkofthetable@northcoastjournal.com

A

change in the quality of the sunlight tells me it’s nearly September, back-to-school month for many students, and Local Food Month for all of us.

Sponsored by the Community Alliance with Family Farmers, the North Coast Growers’ Association, the North Coast Co-op and KHSU-FM, this month-long string of delicious events celebrates local foods and the people who bring them to our markets, stores and tables. Throughout September and into October, more than two dozen events provide special opportunities for getting to know and appreciate our foodscape.

The range of events this weekend alone shows what a bountiful foodscape it is. Are you interested in grains? If so, you can help with the grain harvesting at

Hindley Ranch in Honeydew this Saturday, Sept. 1, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Do you wish you knew more about how to save and savor the best of the season? That same Saturday, Bayside Park Farm at 930 Old Arcata Road will give a food preservation workshop from 10 to 11:30 a.m., with an emphasis on herb storage, herb tinctures and butters, and drying techniques. (That workshop will only touch briefly on canning, but don’t worry — a nearly daylong canning workshop is coming up Sept. 15 at the Humboldt County Agriculture Center in Eureka.) Or have you ever wondered how mushrooms are grown? Michael Egan of Mycality Mushrooms will tell you all about it during the open house at his farm in Samoa this Sunday, Sept. 2, from noon to 3 p.m.

I recently visited Mycality Mushrooms,

which is registered organic pending certification, at 1900 Bendixsen St. in Samoa. While Egan showed me his farm, he described the fascinating process of growing mushrooms, which includes four stages, starting from the preparation of the bags containing the medium where the mushrooms will grow.

The medium — straw for oyster mushrooms and a mixture of hardwood sawdust, wheat bran and gypsum for the other varieties — is sterilized to make sure nothing else will grow on it, Then it is inoculated with mushroom spores. Here’s an appetizing morsel of preview: Visitors on the Mycality tour will experience this part of the process firsthand, then bring home a special souvenir — a fruiting bag that, in time, will provide them with pretty and tasty oyster mushrooms.

After inoculation, the bags are placed in the incubating room, where the mushrooms spread through the transparent bag as Egan watches them move toward the fruiting stage. Anywhere from four to 16 weeks later, depending on the species, the mushrooms are ready to sprout. The final stage occurs in the fruiting room, where mushrooms finally come out, mature and are harvested for our palates’ enjoyment.

(I realize I am moving fast forward here, but I’m hoping to whet your appetite.)

In the fruiting room, I saw Black Poplar mushrooms (called pioppini in my native Italy), then Lion’s Mane mushrooms. Looking like mini frozen waterfalls, with their icicle-like white spines cascading down on the side of the growing substrate, Lion’s Mane mushrooms bear no resemblance to the common mushroom with its cap and stem. I then admired elegant oyster mushrooms growing in clumps or clusters along the side of long bags as if on the trunk of trees.

Egan also grows shiitake, Nameko, the traditional miso soup mushroom, Enokitake and Maitake, raising some on his property on Fickle Hill Road. A dehydrator allows him to dry some of the Shitake crop for longer term storage and consumption (this product is available in

My nose certainly enjoyed being in the dehydrator room.

When holding in my hand a mushroom with which I am not familiar, my first question is: How do I cook it? That’s what I asked when I held the Lion’s Mane mushroom. Egan instructed me to cut it lengthwise into quarter-inch slices and simply sauté it. This mushroom is prized for its delicate flavor and texture — its texture reminded me of scallops, and many compare its flavor to crab, lobster or other seafood. During the event, visitors will be able to ask questions about appropriate care and cooking options for the different varieties of Mycality mushrooms and to sample some dishes prepared with them.

The open house at Mycality Mushrooms is one example of the many events that organizers of Local Food Month have put together for the public. You can find the full schedule at www.caff.org/ humboldt, so make sure you go through it and then mark your calendar with the ones that appeal to you. This weekend also includes the annual harvest festival at the Mattole Grange in Petrolia. Later this month and early next, look for a pesto party, farm tours, interpretive walks, potlucks, and much more, including a Taste of Willow Creek and an apple harvest festival in Fortuna. Take this opportunity to learn more about local food producers and how to make the best use of the bounty they work hard to bring to us. Think of it as Thanksgiving in September. l While more details are available on the website of the Humboldt Chapter of Community Alliance with Family Farmers, the group offers this contact information for the four events coming up this weekend: Hindley Ranch grain harvest, Laurence (629-3292) or Lisa (599-9088); food preservation workshop 805-459-4122 or baysideparkfarm@ gmail.com; Mycality mustrooms, 8346396, mycality77@yahoo.com; Mattole Grange, www.mattolegrange.com.

“PORTRAIT OF BILL MCWHORTER WITH BOY AND DOG,” 1975. PAINTING BY MARTIN WONG

Illuminating HSU’s Permanent Collection

‘Light of Day’ at First Street Gallery

By Jason Marak

I

f you read the headline of this article and your first thought was, “I didn’t even know HSU had a permanent art collection,” you are not alone. The university has largely kept its works on campus, so outsiders haven’t had the chance to learn that HSU not only has a collection, but it’s a significant one. The collection, established in 1970, contains more than 1,000 works by artists ranging from Rembrandt to acclaimed Pop artist Mel Ramos. “Light of Day,” an exhibition of selected works from the collection at the First Street Gallery in Eureka, represents the first time the university’s treasures have been shown off the main campus, and it’s a rare opportunity for the public to view many important pieces.

For the last 40 years, Humboldt State has been growing its permanent collection through art department acquisitions, including the President’s Purchase Award, selected from the annual student exhibi-

tion. Private individuals and the artists themselves have also donated pieces.

Work from the collection is typically shown around campus, including ongoing displays in the library, university office spaces and the Reese Bullen Gallery.

For the general public, the collection has not been as accessible. Michele McCallWallace, director of the Reese Bullen Gallery and the university’s permanent collection, looks forward to changing that.

“It’s an adventure to take it off campus — more exposure to the community,” McCall-Wallace said. “It’s just really exciting … to bring [the work] together in one place.” McCall-Wallace noted that most of the artwork on display is spread out around campus, making it difficult to see how the collection relates to itself — how each piece functions in context of the others.

Since many of the works in “Light of Day” have won the President’s Purchase Award, the exhibition also highlights the

22 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • THURSDAY, AUG. 30, 2012 • northcoastjournal.com

strength of the university’s art department. “For people to be able to see the history of HSU, the history of art coming out of our department, I think that’s an important thing too,” McCall-Wallace said.

A confluence of different factors led to the “Light of Day” exhibition, which will run through Sept. 16. It fit into the gallery’s schedule, and “for the first time I found a group of students who were interested in producing it here,” said First Street Gallery Director Jack Bentley.

“That’s really important. Everything that we do here is produced by our HSU students,” he said. The university founded the gallery in 1998 partly to give students firsthand experience managing, preparing and curating exhibitions.

The exhibition’s three co-curators, HSU students Erin Grady, Shawn O’Connor and Natalie Schoch, selected which works to display from the vast collection. For primarily logistical reasons, Bentley gave the curators a couple of parameters. The pieces had to be from the fine arts area of the collection and had to be twodimensional, so they would be easier to move and to display. Beyond that, Bentley encouraged the students to select works that they responded to intuitively.

Despite occasional debates about the merits of individual pieces, the curators all agreed on the exhibition’s overall direction. “We wanted to showcase artwork that was under-shown around campus for one reason or another,” said Schoch.

“We chose a lot of artworks that were underexposed,” O’Connor added. As a result, the exhibition features many works that, for reasons ranging from content to controversy, have rarely been displayed on campus. But the curators were also careful to address a broader purpose as well. “This show is not all about shock — it’s more

about just making people A RTS more aware about the ALIVE! NEXT PAGE permanent collection,” Grady said. One of the toughest parts of picking the art, the curators agreed, was creating a cohesive exhibit that still provided a broad sampling of the collection’s range and depth.

Beyond raising public awareness of the collection, the curators hope the exhibit will have an impact on campus. “I hope that more offices or buildings will want some of the artwork from the collection, and we can get it out more around campus,” Grady said. Schoch and O’Connor agreed. “I hate to see a piece just stay in a storage facility and never see the light of day,” O’Connor said, wryly.

Bentley is also excited about the secondary impacts exhibit could have.”This is a show that’s meant to be pedagogical in nature and to really support the acquisition program of the permanent collection — but it also highlights the fact that [First Street Gallery] is a learning laboratory.

We’re not a sales gallery. … Our primary goal is to educate and provide a resource for the community,” Bentley said. In coming years, McCall-Wallace and Bentley hope to bring different elements from the HSU permanent collection to First Street.

“We are already talking about doing a selection of three-dimensional pieces,” said Bentley. “We hope that it will continue as a series.” ● “Light of Day” includes work by Martin Wong, Mel Ramos, Tim Rollins, Leslie Kenneth Price and many others.

A reception will be held Saturday, Sept. 1, in conjunction with Arts Alive.

james cotton headlines blues by the bay on Sunday.

This week’s guide to things that are better than Humboldt coastal summer weather

her German citizenship allows her free, socialized education. Sounds nice. (In case you’re wondering, she’s trading in her corset to pursue a degree in alternative technology.) For her final performance, she has promised a special duet performance with a live singer. No iPods, folks. Hold her to it.

In addition to boobs, expect danceable beats supplied by DJs Gabe Pressure and Anya and yuks from stand-up funny dude John McClurg, a newer voice to Humboldt’s comedy scene who’s been pickin’ up a few votes in the highly contentious “Best Comedian” category of the Journal’s annual Best Of Humboldt poll (non-subtle nudge, have you voted? One week left, suckas!)

We’ve Got Blues Again calendar@northcoastjournal.com

D

uh nuh … duh nuh … I glanced at my calendar…

Duh nuh … duh nuh … It said August was done…

Duh nuh … duh nuh … But I live here in Eureka…

Duh nuh … duh nuh … So I still ain’t seen no sun… No, baby! Nooooo!

I’d argue that, in this instance, that’s correct usage of a double negative in that last line. Feel free to disagree and debate. My point is, the blues is easy. Another time-tested American musical style that leans more on guttural passion and truth than complexity. You got a grievance? Do you know your I-IV-V chords?

Then let ‘er rip, brother.

But while the tools of the trade are wielded sufficiently by many, it’s nice to appreciate a master craftsman from time to time. Or how ‘bout a bunch of ‘em? Back to back? Over two days? Sittin’ on a blanket by the bay in the (potentially) warm sunshine? You see where I’m goin’ here?

Blues by the Bay returns to Eureka’s Halverson Park for its sweet 16th year on Saturday and Sunday for two pentatonic-scale-drenched days.

So who’s workin’? Saturday — heavy on female-fronted acts — is headlined by husky-

voiced, sassy and captivating Dana Fuchs.

Why might you already know her? She played an aspiring singer named (sexy!) Sadie in the often-loved, Beatles song-filled Across the Universe. Remember? She’s the one who belts out “Helter Skelter” through Janis-ish pipes and Robert Plant locks — in fact, you can see her and her band do a less visually psychedelic version of the White Album classic on the Blues by the Bay website (bluesbythebay.org). Girl’s got force.

Also on day one, flashy, jazzy pianist, soulful singer and saxophonist Deanna Bogart and band transition from high-energy blues swing to more restrained singer/songwriter territory.

Singer Janiva Magness brings a more straightahead blues sensibility. Blues guitar shredder Chris Cain brings exaggerated licks/facial expressions. Kicking off the fest, guitarist Laurie Morvan brings fast licks that seem more than able to wake people up.

Sunday’s main event? Mississippi-born, 77-year-old harmonica virtuoso James Cotton.

Over the years, Cotton has toured with giants such as Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters and even briefly with Janis Joplin before forming his own band in the late ‘60s. Also on the day two bill, acoustic bluesman Eric Bibb, slide guitar

26 North Coast Journal • Thursday, Aug. 30, 2012 • northcoastjournal.com

one-man-rock band David Jacobs-Strain and “rasta blues” from … wait, really? Huh, yup …

Corey Harris (it’s actually pretty interesting to listen to some of the ways Harris fuses the two styles. Check him out). If you haven’t already secured your BBTB ticket you can get ‘em presale for both days for a whopping $85 (it goes up to $95 the day of the event). But, man, Redwood Coast Music Festivals is really making an appeal to that young crowd: tickets for blues lovers 13 all the way to 23 are only $35 for both days. Maybe some of the rest of you should look into a reverse fake ID.

HumBrews Hotness

Not into blues? How ‘bout skin? Humboldt’s ambitious, overachieving burlesque peddlers continue to make sure that y’all rarely have to endure a pasty-less week. This week’s temptation? The Va Va Voom Burlesque Vixens are rolling out Hot Topless Nights, a 1950s automobile culture-themed soiree Friday night at Humbrews in Arcata. It’s sure to (uh oh, unavoidable cliche imminent) get your motor runnin’! (Sigh.)

The night will be bittersweet in that it marks the final performance of Va Va Voomer “Nina Betina,” who’ll be moving abroad since

Speakin’ of “hot” and “HumBrews,” is there any hotter recurring event in Humboldt right now than Missing Link’s monthly all-vinyl Soul Night? I will answer for you, in case you thought I just wanted you to keep reading: no, there is not. Due to high levels of awesomeness, thing sells out every damn time. But, man, it gets hot and crowded in that room, amirite?

Solution: Soul Night fans can find a similar, less crowded scene this Saturday at the less regular, lunar-dependant Funky Full Moon III at Ocean Grove in Trinidad with DJs Jaymorg, Mantease, Rickshaw, King Maxwell and Knutz bringing you classic soul, R&B and disco records. Too hot inside? Too crowded? Take a breather on OG’s spacious back deck. Just make sure to carpool. Trinidad is a trek. Gas is expensive.

In Your Vest Interest

And finally, school sucks! But since a lot of you are in the slog again, the fine folks at Blondies noticed that “vest” rhymed with “fest” and as such are staging their first ever free Back to School VESTival on Saturday. That means you wear a vest to it, if that wasn’t apparent. And there will be prizes! “Best Overall!”

“Most Cringe Worthy!” “Flashiest!” Plus, beer, tug-of-war, beer, music and beer. But most importantly, rock that vest, kids. Just because your nose is back in the books doesn’t mean your arms have to go back in the sleeves. ●

Stashed under the dash is a ragged map. Preset three is the secret frequency. The dot-dash code tells what back road. Come forthright at dawn in one month with white scarf on. … Six-oh-three, the city is asleep and these streets will grieve a million Mardi Gras beads when dawn comes, each one glistening like a Super Bowl ring in the sun. Is it you? Is it you?” — from “For Someone” by Why? The lyrics offer elaborate instructions leading to who knows where, leaving you with questions unanswered.

This is Why? You might wonder, what, or who, is Why? In the beginning, at the end of the ‘90s, Why? was the nom de rap for young Jonathan “Yoni” Wolf, who recorded DIY mixtapes on a four-track in the basement of a Cincinnati synagogue. Why? ultimately became the name of a band with Yoni’s older brother Josiah Wolf and their friend from high school Doug McDiarmid at the core. The music evolved, shifting from rap into indie rock territory, but always revolving around Yoni’s poetic, enigmatic lyrics.

The Wolfs headed west, settling in the East Bay for a time, and became founders of the alt. hip hop collective Anticon. The band produced a series of albums and EPs, Oaklandazulasylum in 2003, Alopecia in ‘08, the cool, shining Eskimo Snow in ‘09. At this point Yoni

is once again living in Cincinnati. His album Mumps, Etc. is due out later this year, with the overflow going into a recently released EP, Sod in the Seed.

He says the writing process was different for every song. “Sometimes it comes in quiet moments — something that makes me laugh, an idea, or the way something might rhyme. I’ll write that down save it for later.”

Following his brother’s advice he assembled one song at a time, starting by printing out his word strings. “I cut it all up, cut out each line, then laid everything out on a table trying to figure out what goes where. … It’s a real puzzle-making process, putting things together into stanzas and then verses then into songs,” he explained.

“It’s much like weaving a rug or something like that, a tapestry that’s more ornate that might have a couple of gold threads in it.”

He figures the trick is not letting the glints of gold dominate. They don’t. See for yourself as Why? takes the show on the road for a West Coast run.

The Social Conquest of Earth Edward O. Wilson Liveright

In examining the relationship of humans to the rest of nature as well as human nature itself, Edward O. Wilson has been a defining presence for some 40 years. He created the field of sociobiology in the 1970s. He won the Pulitzer Prize for On Human Nature in 1979, and with later titles (Consilience: The Unity of Knowledge and Biofilia) he added concepts (and buzzwords) to scientific and popular discussion.

His work has always been controversial, and assertions in this new book similarly attracted criticism from major figures. His rejection of “kin selection” in human evolution (a concept used to explain altruism that he previously championed) and his adoption of a form of “group selection” have received lengthy rejoinders from psychologist Steven Pinker and evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins.

(Dawkins also cites strong disagreement from scores of other scientists.)

It’s not possible to even summarize these arguments in my allotted space. But I can instead discuss what contending scientists largely do not: This book as a reading experience.

Whatever the results of scientific debate, the central theme of this book is a bracing corrective to the run of evolutionary theory since Dawkins’ selfish gene thesis began to dominate. Wilson looks at human evolution not as isolated every-individual-foritself battles of one against all (let alone every gene for itself), but by recognizing the reality of humans as social beings. He has a word for natural selection that responds to the social context as well as the rest of the environment: eusociality.

In under 300 pages, Wilson discusses the latest of what’s known about biological and cultural human evolution, and focuses his theories on the origins of morality, religion and the creative arts. Lynn Margulis noted that previous evolutionary theorists failed to account for the role of symbiosis because they studied big animals, not the bacteria and tiny organisms she studied. Wilson uses his knowledge of social insects (his first area of expertise was ants) to challenge prevailing assumptions that might be equally blinkered. Recent science in animal intelligence as well as a more modest view of genes themselves argue for greater complexity than the previously dominant mechanistic theories allowed.

So a different approach like Wilson’s fills a need.

Some of his scientific arguments get technical.

Some chapters seem more cogent that others (I found “What is Human Nature?” disappointing). But mainly Wilson’s prose is clear, informative and at times provocative. However controversial, he presents a refreshing and even hopeful synthesis, arguing that knowing our biological history is essential to saving our magnificently unlikely species at “the growing point of an unfinished epic,” as well as to saving the rest of present life we have imperiled.

Foot Worship It’s been a pretty good year for Mr. Foot. With the recent success of Animal Planet’s Finding Bigfoot, several feature films reported to be in production and another sighting video going viral — this one from Bigfoot-drenched Ohio — your favorite cryptids profile has arguably never been higher.

And where is this guy so we can congratulate him?

Even with Bigfoot business bustling, the elusive beast remains just out of reach. But that’s the game, right?

The day Christ returns, the Jesus fish coffee mug industry is toast. Same with our (more) hairy friend.

And we’ll note that there is no show named Found Bigfoot, so business appears to be safe.

To celebrate another year of not being real found, why not head on up to Willow Creek — the Roswell of Bigfoot culture — for its annual Bigfoot Days event on Saturday, Sept. 1. Bigfoot worship begins bright and early at 9 a.m. with Bloody Marys at The Forks bar, which will get you in the mood for the annual parade through downtown. The party moves to Veteran’s Park for an entire day of festivities: logging competitions, petting zoo, horseshoe tourney, lawn mower race, watersides and various Bigfoot-themed retail and food booths. Roar.

Saturday night at the VFW hall, humans can utilize their puny little feet to boogie down to the sounds of Taxi starting at 7 p.m. Will Bigfoot show up? Cross your toes.

Reviews

HIT AND RUN. If I had to pick a favorite sub-genre, it would probably be car chase movies. I’ll acknowledge that most of them are guilty pleasures, but I can live with that. You like what you like, and I really like Hit and Run. It has plenty of what I like to see in a summer movie: comedy, action, lightheartedness and the overarching sense that it was a lot of fun to make.

Of course it’s also implausible, silly and formulaic, but like I said, I’m OK with that.

Dax Shepard plays a getaway driver who testified against his murderous former associates. During his stint in witness protection, he falls for Annie Bean (Kristen Bell). When she’s offered a university teaching job in L.A, he decides their relationship is more important than his continued anonymity/safety. They set out for the southland, pursued by his bloodthirsty ex-robbery crew and a U.S Marshal minder (Tom Arnold). Annie’s ridiculous ex-boyfriend (Michael Rosenbaum) is also in bumbling hot pursuit. The story is a thin excuse to get everybody into cars for prolonged chase sequences and some relationship-examination type conversations, but somehow it all works.

Shepard is credited as writer, co-editor and co-director; he also appears to have done a fair amount of his own driving in the movie. This passion-project aspect of the thing may have been what really won me over. Most summer releases would take this basic blueprint and churn it through the studio machinery until it was lifeless, laugh-less and homogenized.

Somehow, Hit and Run avoids that trap.

It’s a little raggedy and rough in places, but it’s got a good heart and it’s a lot of fun.

Movie Times into the girl’s body. Scary stuff ensues.

PG13. 92m.

THE OOGIELOVES IN THE BIG BALLOON ADVENTURE. Described as the Teletubbies meets The Rocky Horror Picture Show meets a Tyler Perry movie, this kid flick encourages children to sing and dance in the theater. Let’s hope the walls are thick. G. 88m.

THE INTOUCHABLES. After a paragliding accident leaves him a quadriplegic, a French aristocrat hires a black man (!) from the projects (!!!) to be his caretaker. In French with English subtitles. R. 112m.

HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS (2002), the second in the boy-wizard series, will show at the Arcata Theatre Lounge Sunday at 6 p.m. PG. 161m.

Continuing

Bradley cooper with Humtasty dreads in Hit and Run.

Shepard and Bell bait and snipe at each other like a real couple (which they are), and their conversations are mundane and silly enough to ring true. Bradley Cooper makes a welcome return to comedy playing the fearsome, ridiculously dreadlocked antagonist.

Above all else, Hit and Run is a refreshing change of pace. It proves — as if it needed proving — that inconsequential comedies can still be director-driven, individual works of art. Sure, it’s broad and goofy, but there’s nothing wrong with that. I’m excited to like this movie as much as I do, and I celebrate the fact that it got made at all. R. 100m.

PREMIUM RUSH has a lot going for it: Joseph Gordon Levitt and Michael Shannon are two of the more charismatic, likeable actors working in Hollywood; writer-director David Koepp is a seasoned pro with an impressive track record. And everybody loves a bike messenger/immigrants in trouble mash-up, right?

OK, strike that last one. While Koepp’s fascination with the sweaty, low-rent world of New York City’s courier culture serves up plenty of opportunities for exciting chase sequences, it isn’t enough to carry the movie. That fact, and a distractingly cartoonish execution, mean Premium Rush never quite lives up to its potential.

Levitt plays Wilee, arguably the best and most brazen rider in the Big Apple.

His relationship is on the skids, and he pretty much lives to ride. He picks up an envelope that needs to go to Chinatown.

The contents of the envelope are extremely valuable, a fact not lost on inveterate gambler/maniac cop Bobby Monday (Shannon). In a series of shifting timelines

and occasionally exhilarating chases, Wilee and Monday play an ever-escalating game of cat and mouse through the city.

The two stars turn in admirably committed performances, particularly Shannon’s twisted take on Bobby Monday. He manages a delirious balance of menace and humor that never lets up. Somehow, it’s both hilarious and convincingly scary.

Levitt attacks his role with the usual aplomb, even apparently taking on some of the bike stunts himself. The rest of the cast is merely background for these two.

The same could be said of the movie as a whole. While polished and self-assured, it lacks the energy and gravitas of the performances that anchor it. Even the stunt sequences, while impressive, fail to be as fun and risky as they could have been. PG13. 91m.

Previews

LAWLESS. Three bootlegging brothers in Depression-era Virginia encounter trouble with the law. Sounds like the wild hills of Humboldt, circa now! Starring Tom Hardy, Shia LaBeouf, Guy Pearce and Gary Oldman. R. 115m.

2016: OBAMA’S AMERICA. Described by one critic as a “right-wing horror flick,” this agit-prop documentary paints Obama as a radical who’s waiting for his second term before acting on the anti-colonialist ideals he inherited from his father. PG. 89m.

THE POSSESSION. Finally, a horror movie about a haunted Jewish wine cabinet. A young girl buys an antique box at a yard sale, unaware that it contains a dybbuk, a malevolent spirit from Hebrew mythology. Predictably, the dybbuk hops

THE AVENGERS. Marvel’s superhero super-team returns to the Broadway. PG13.

143m.

BRAVE. Pixar’s Scottish princess returns to the Broadway. PG. 100m.

THE BOURNE LEGACY. Jeremy Renner replaces Matt Damon in the action franchise based on Robert Ludlum’s international thriller novels. PG13. 125m.

THE CAMPAIGN. Doofus duo Will Ferrell and Zach Galafianakis star in this broad, lazy skewering of American politics. R. 85m.

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. If you need a synopsis to tell you that this is the third Christopher Nolan Batman movie, we’re guessing you don’t plan to see it. PG13.

164m.

THE EXPENDABLES 2. Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Norris and more geriatric action stars pay homage to their ’80s action roots, with all the fun and stupidity intact. R. 102m.

HOPE SPRINGS. Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones star as an aging couple trying to rekindle the fire in their 30-yearold marriage. PG13. 100m.

THE ODD LIFE OF TIMOTHY GREEN. A childless couple writes down their hopes for a young’un, buries them in the backyard, and hark, a dirty kid emerges. PG. 100m.

PARANORMAN. A misunderstood boy tries to save his town from zombies in this pretty if bland stop-motion film from the makers of Coraline. PG. 93m.

RUBY SPARKS. A wunderkind author overcomes writer’s block by conjuring his dream woman — first on the page, then in the flesh. R. 104m.

THE WATCH. Sci-fi comedy wastes a fine cast (Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn) on crass, formulaic material. R. 101m.

To Mars and/or Bust

By Barry Evans

fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com

T

he odds were stacked against the Mars Science Laboratory, aka Curiosity, which represented the 17th attempt by Earthlings to land a spacecraft on the surface of the Red Planet. Only seven of the previous 16 had succeeded, so when it did touch down safely last Aug. 5, at 10:32 p.m. PDT, after by far the most complicated landing system ever (“Seven Minutes of Terror”), you could hear the collective sigh of relief from space-watchers around the world.

Three of the successful landing craft that preceded Curiosity were stationary machines, not rovers. Best known of these were the twin Viking landers that arrived on Mars during the bicentennial month of July 1976. They sent back several albums-worth of photographs, many of which made it seem as if they were taken on some remote mesa in Arizona or New Mexico, devoid of vegetation but with similar geology. The most controversial data from the Vikings (then and now) were subtle indications of microbial life. Each craft carried a biology experiment consisting of three sub-systems. While two of these showed zero evidence for life, the third, the “Labeled Release” experiment, suggested the presence of organic compounds in the Martian soil. (Because Mars lacks an ozone layer, the sun’s ultraviolet rays sterilize the surface, so any putative life would be underground.)

Curiosity is the fourth successful rover on Mars, preceded by tiny Sojourner, which hitched a ride to the Martian surface on the Pathfinder lander, and by the twin Mars Exploration Rovers A and B, dubbed Spirit and Opportunity.

Opportunity landed on Jan. 25, 2004, and — incredibly, given the mission’s nominal three-month duration — is still operational.

Pathfinder, Spirit and Opportunity all landed using airbags to cushion their arrival on Mars, after decelerating through the thin Martian atmosphere using supersonic parachutes and retro-rockets.

In contrast with these earlier rovers, Curiosity presented much more of a landing challenge, mainly because of its one-ton weight, compared with Sojourner’s 23 pounds and Spirit and Opportunity’s 400 pounds. That’s why the landing sequence was so complicated. It was too heavy for airbags and too vulnerable for a retrorocket landing, since if it had landed using rockets all the way to the surface, the resulting dust might have damaged the complicated machine.

Curiosity isn’t designed to search for life, but to look for suitable conditions for life as it might have evolved some 3 billion years ago, when Mars had oceans and was something of a sister planet to Earth.

Mars later froze (unlike Earth, it’s too small to maintain an internal heat source), but some of us still dream of discovering some hardy little buggers nestled for warmth deep within the flanks of a stillwarm volcano. Curiosity isn’t going to find all the answers about possible Martian life, but it will at least lead us in the right direction. l Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo. com) didn’t realize he could hold his breath for seven minutes until the evening of Aug. 5.
