The Un-Fair Too Confused to Vote?

Editor: The cartoon (by Joel Mielke, Aug. 30) depicting the three people who failed to secure valid signatures for the Arcata City Council ballot pokes fun at the filers, but begs the question: who signed their petitions and what does this say about the random citizen’s awareness of their voter registration status?

I am guessing the majority of the folks who signed on in support of the candidates thought they were qualified to sign, yet for a variety of reasons, this was not the case. Does this mean that come Election Day there will unpleasant surprises for people who will discover their registration is invalid and thus they will be unable to vote?

Maybe a follow up story explaining requirements for citizens to actually cast a ballot on Election Day would be a public service. The fact that three petitions failed to pass muster indicates citizens might need to evaluate their voter eligibility before Nov. 6.

Peeps Ain’t Corps

I

plan to incorporate myself. I can do that for $100 in California. You should do the same. As Burstiner, Inc., I’d have corporate free speech rights. And that seems to be pretty strong protection these days.

Last month, an appellate court in D.C. told the federal government it couldn’t force tobacco companies to put on cigarette packs nasty photos of cancerous gums or people with holes in their throats in an attempt to warn kids away from an addictive cancer-causing habit.

Tobacco companies have corporate free speech rights.

And the U.S. Supreme Court has told the federal government that it can’t limit the amount of money political groups raise to spend on political ads. Cigarette makers and sellers spent about $45 million in the last election on ads to convince California voters to reject Proposition 29.

If passed, it would have raised millions of dollars for research to fight cancer through a tax on cigarettes.

Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled a Vermont law unconstitutional that tried to restrict drug companies’ ability to buy from pharmacies data that showed which doctors prescribe particular drugs.

Called data-mining, this helped the drug companies identify doctors more likely to prescribe certain types of drugs, so the companies could better tailor their marketing. They want doctors to prescribe the more expensive drugs, not cheaper generics. Vermont argued that its law restricted corporate conduct, not speech.

The court said that the buying of the prescription drug info was “creation and dissemination of information” and that’s corporate speech that our First Amendment protects.

So here’s what our courts have done in the name of corporate free speech. They limited the government’s ability to try to keep our teenagers off a highly addictive habit that could kill them. (Commenting on the cigarette pack decision, Tina Rosenberg of the New York Times cited statistics that only 1 in 10 people will take up smoking after age 18.) They denied the government’s ability to limit the raising of money corporations spend to try to influence elections. So now tobacco companies can spend ridiculous sums to prevent a tax that would help us treat people who get cancer from smoking cigarettes. And the government can’t stop drug compa-

6 North Coast Journal • Thursday, Sept. 6, 2012 • northcoastjournal.com

nies from buying information about what drugs our doctors prescribe to us, which means the drug companies can use that info to get us to buy more expensive drugs once we get cancer from smoking or inhaling second-hand smoke.

All of this is a result of Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission in 2010, in which the Supreme Court determined that corporations are persons and entitled to the full protection of the U.S. Constitution.

Come November, Arcata residents get to vote on an initiative that will declare that within the city of Arcata, corporations will not have the rights of persons.

The “Corps Ain’t Peeps” initiative is symbolic, of course, since city laws don’t trump U.S. Supreme Court decisions.

Former Arcata city councilman Dave Meserve spent days standing in the rain last winter gathering signatures to put the measure on the ballot. He hopes to get other towns to adopt similar measures. It is part of a movement, led by Eureka resident David Cobb, to amend the U.S. Constitution to establish that corporations are not persons and money is not speech.

Talk about David versus Goliath. As just a peep, not a corp., I’ve never felt more puny. Every month, it seems, I read about how the government can’t restrict corporate speech, even as I see evidence that corporate media restricts private speech.

On Aug. 25, New York Times reporter David Streitfeld on Sunday profiled Todd Rutherford, a man who made $28,000 a month for a while posting great online reviews to self-published books for pay.

(Brilliant idea! I should have thought of that first!) That is, until Google decided it didn’t like the idea of advertising for favorable reviews. It suspended his advertising account and Streitfeld tells us that Rutherford now sells recreational vehicles.

In May, Fahmida Rashid of PC Magazine reported how some Facebook users get an error message when they try to post comments. The message explains that the comment was blocked because it “seems irrelevant or inappropriate.”

I’m not sure about the appropriateness of comments I make on Facebook, but I’m pretty sure they are all irrelevant.

For all you out there who revel in how many people receive your Tweets, or how many Linkedin or Facebook friends you can message at one time, note that these platforms you post to run on algo-

rithms. That’s a fancy word for a complicated mathematical formula. Tweak the formula and suddenly any post with the word “rutabaga” gets blocked. Tweak the Google search algorithm and suddenly certain websites end up on the 15th page of the search, rather than at the top of the first page.

Could the government force Google to make its search fair to the little guy or tell Facebook or Twitter what it can or can’t block? I don’t think so. The decision for the pharmacies against the state of Vermont made the creation and dissemination of information by businesses protected free speech. Google and Facebook and Twitter are all about the dissemination of information. I can’t imagine the courts will let the government dictate how they do that.

In past columns this year, I argued that speech you buy is more powerful than speech that’s free and that bought speech is more protected. But Rutherford paid for his speech and Google took it down.

If he were Rutherford Advertising Agency Inc., however, I bet I’d still see his ads when I Googled info on how to promote my self-published books. And as a corporation, with corporate free speech rights, the government couldn’t force him to put warning labels on his reviews informing readers how bogus those reviews were (in some cases Rutherford never read the books he reviewed).

So it isn’t enough to pay for your speech to ensure its protection against censorship. You need to incorporate yourself. Let’s be corps, not peeps.

The Cool Car Guys

By Heidi Walters

heidiwalters@northcoastjournal.com

S

o there you are, schlumping your way home late after work on the 101 corridor in your homely old Honda — groceries in the back, evening sun in your eyes, list of to-do-nexts on your mind. Passing

by Target as you enter Eureka, you once again notice the handful of young guys in the parking lot huddled around some slick little cars, a few peacock bright.

What the heck? They were there last Wednesday, too. And the Wednesday before that. In fact, they’ve been a Wednesday special for years.

Those who finally detour into the lot to meet these guys might find a new religion: car modification. OK, maybe religion is the wrong word. Hobby. True love. It’s Nor-Cal Imports, a Humboldt Countybased auto club started six years ago by Jamal Wyllie of Eureka. The club meets Wednesdays from 7:30 to about 9 p.m. to talk about cars, modifications and upcoming cruises, races, parades and other events — like the Rhody Parade in the spring, and Cruz’N Eureka, which is coming up this weekend. (See page 35.)

Last Wednesday, about half of the 15some club members had gathered in the

8 North Coast Journal • Thursday, Sept. 6, 2012 • northcoastjournal.com

low evening light. In the distance, shoppers were still making after-work forays into the plastic-scented, colorful kaleidoscope of Target.

Wyllie, who’s 30 and vice-president of the club, was there with his 2006 350Z Nissan; Brad Adams had his shiny black 1995 Acura Integra and Rick Arnold his boxy, matte-purple 1990 Honda Civic. Soon Hakim Wyllie, Jamal’s younger brother and president of the club, arrived in a gleaming Lincoln that he parked away from the other guys’ cars; it was just his transportation tonight, because his sporty car was in the shop.

These were not your ordinary small imports. Jamal Wyllie’s Nissan, for instance — you likely wouldn’t find it sitting outside Harper Motors. Jay-bright Laguna Seca Blue paint job. Black carbon fiber hood. Carbon fiber fenders. Carbon fiber trunk. Top Secret body kit, front end and side skirts. The Veilside spoiler.

Hakim Wyllie, who’s almost 29, walked over and showed me a smart phone picture of his lime green Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX, the one in the shop. “I bought this car from a friend, bone-stock-off-the-lot,” he said.

Jamal, listening, laughed. “What people call JDM these days,” he said. “Japanese domestic market.”

“It was silver,” Hakim continued. “I painted it in my garage in McKinleyville.”

And he did more, lots more. “My car is one of the few total-package vehicles — everything is customized, from the sound system to the lighting to the body kit to the interior. … The frame’s original.”

The Wyllie brothers grew up in Eureka, where their parents moved from Redding when Jamal was nearly 2. Their dad, originally from Trinidad and Tobago, met their mom, who is from Haiti, in New York; he had moved to the city to train in shot put for the Olympics. They moved west, and then west again, in search of a yet smaller town and bigger trees.

Jamal got modification fever when he was 16 and driving his first car, a Chevy Cavalier. One day he saw his best friend’s car, and noticed it had a weird front end.

“My friend said, ‘Yeah, it has a body kit on it,’” recalled Jamal. “I said, ‘What’s that?’ It was different. That’s what I like about it. I can change my clothes, I can change my car — my 350Z can be a Lambo. I can make a Lambo! It’s amazing what you can do.”

Lambo is short for Lamborghini.

Hakim got into it, too, and like Jamal races his car. When he was 18, he wrecked his Plymouth Laser — going the speed limit, he says, but riding on bald tires —on a slick road by the golf course. The impact into a telephone pole snapped his neck.

He lifted his collar aside to reveal the dark horizontal scar across his throat.

“Check out this guy,” said his brother.

“Wrecks his car, breaks his neck. Most people would give up, have nothing to do with cars. Or get an SUV — something big, you know. But no, this guy, he’s all Rocky and comes right back at it.”

The other guys kicked around, listening to the conversation, or wandered off to talk quietly by their cars. They have their stories, too. But why this club, this hobby — what’s the draw in taking a sometimes already spiffy little car and souping it up?

“A car is what represents the person — the attitude of this person,” said Jamal, who was wearing jeans and a gray and black sweathshirt with the hood pulled up. He’s friendly and gets animated when he tells a story, his voice rising, his laugh becoming more frequent. His car seems a little flashier than him, but he explained its connection to him well.

“It’s Laguna Seca blue — a cool color. It’s blue, it’s nice and slick. And I’m nice and slick.” He laughed. “Some cars look more aggressive. What’s me in this car is these smooth curves, showing my freedom, my

positive attitude.”

“I just like to be unique,” said Hakim, who, unlike the T-shirted or hoodied rest of the guys, wore a shimmery longsleeved dress shirt with copper and black vertical stripes, and large sparkly studs in his ears. “Why drive the same stock everyone else does?”

Although the club’s name has “Imports” in it, the club doesn’t discriminate — any car, American or foreign, sports or muscle, is welcome. The club’s even forming a Nor-Cal VIP sub-club, for folks with more luxury rides, like Hakim’s Lincoln — which he plans to modify, of course, by putting on some 22s (tires), for starters.

Part of the joy these club guys find is in the work itself — taking a regular car and fixing it up — and in what they do with their cars afterward. Some team members race on tracks run by the National Auto Sport Association, an organization that holds races for different classes of cars and drivers, trains drivers, promotes rallies and supports clubs. Jamal has raced at Thunderhill (near Chico), Laguna Seca and Sonoma, so far. He said the club works to keep street racing off the streets and, instead, on legal tracks, like the Samoa Drag Strip out on the peninsula.

“We want to show kids around here it’s OK to race a car, but they should go do it in a safe environment,” he said.

Perhaps the greater joy of being in the club, however, comes from the closeness that forms among members and their families.

“Everyone helps each other out, teaches each other things about cars, works on each other’s cars,” Jamal said.

“I’m sort of the team mechanic,” said Arnold.

“I paint cars,” said Hakim.

“I make ‘em run,” said Arnold.

“I make ‘em run, too,” said Adams.

“I’m going to CR to get my automotive associate’s degree. I love cars, but I hate paying shop labor and I like helping other people.”

“Nobody has touched my cars except my team members,” said Arnold.

“My green car, these guys changed my suspension,” said Hakim.

“It took like 20 minutes to half an hour,” said Adams, “versus all day in the shop and paying a fat labor bill — which probably would have cost twelve- to thirteen hundred.”

A black, tough-looking car circled around them and stopped. The driver leaned out the window. “This a car club?”

“Yeah, Nor-Cal Imports,” Jamal said, adding quickly, “We have muscle cars too.”

The guy nodded. Asked a couple more questions. And drove coolly on. l

Blog Jammin’ HUMBOLDT STATE, SPORTS / BY CARRIE PEYTON DAHLBERG / AUG. 29, 4:11 P.M.

More Hazing Penalties The other shoe has dropped for women’s soccer players at Humboldt State University. Their team is being suspended for three games because of hazing, the university said in a press release.

The full release is on our website. ● KARUK, FORESTRY / BY HEIDI WALTERS / SEPT. 4, 12:21 P.M.

Tradition restored For a century, at least, the Karuk Tribe has been unable to manage the lands surrounding the center of its world — Katimiin, at Ishi Pishi Falls near Somes Bar — the way it did for thousands of years prior.

So the recent agreement between the tribe and the United States Forest Service allowing a return to traditional management there, using fire as a main tool, is no small achievement. For that matter, any agreement between the tribe and the forest service is significant, says Craig Tucker, spokesperson and Klamath Coordinator for the tribe.

“Usually when we put out a press release about the Forest Service, we’re mad at them or mentioning them as the defendant in our latest lawsuit,” Tucker said on Tuesday. “This shows a big turn around, and that a positive relationship has developed. Hopefully it’s a sign of things to come.”

Katimiin is where the tribe’s World Renewal ceremony — “Pikyawish” — concludes each year. The tribe, with 4,000 enrolled members, is the second largest tribe in the state next to the Yurok. Yet it still does not have its own reservation.

Most of the Karuk ancestral territory is managed by Six Rivers National Forest; every time the tribe wants to conduct ceremonies at Katimiin it has to get a special use permit from the forest service.

The land has changed dramatically in the meantime.

“That whole landscape has gone from big, majestic stands of old-growth tan oak to basically a Doug fir tree farm,” Tucker said. “We want to go in and treat these areas with fire in traditional ways to cultivate traditional foods and basket-making materials. We want to actively manage for stands of tan oak.” The Karuk traditionally harvest acorns from the tan oak. ● READ FULL POSTS AND SEE PHOTOS AT

The E Mormon Moment Once-outcast religion in the spotlight as Romney accepts presidential nomination Story and photos

by Scottie Lee Meyers

lder Mitchell Camper sits in his musty study room clutching his Mormon Missionary Handbook and reads aloud a few pages to his inseparable missionary companion. The wallet-sized booklet with 82 pages of small font disappears in his big hands. It’s filled with so many rules that they seem to be spilling over the binding.

The missionaries can’t roll up their sleeves and can’t wear anything but sanctioned underwear. They can’t have a “faddish” hairstyle. They can’t read any book or watch any video that hasn’t been approved by the church. They can’t join clubs, musical groups or sports teams. If they play a team sport among themselves, they can’t keep score. They can’t call home, except for Christmas and Mother’s Day. They can’t flirt, and they sure as hell heck can’t be alone with women. They’re not the kind of guys you’d want to get a beer with; they can’t drink alcohol. There’s another rule too: They can’t be without the rulebook.

As I prepare to spend a day with these ambassadors of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — the full name Mormons prefer — I try to be on my best behavior too. I tuck in my shirt and try not to curse. But I’m having a hard time at it.

Mormons have now famously conquered Broadway, talk radio and reality TV. America is having a Mormon moment.

And that moment is brought to you largely by Mitt Romney, who took the stage at the Republican National Convention last week in Tampa and

became the first Mormon to accept the party’s presidential nomination. Romney has been loosening his tie lately when it comes to his faith. In an effort to present a warmer version of himself, Romney recently invited reporters to church. The attention is making some Mormons nervous.

As the November election nears, church followers celebrate their Jackie Robinson moment while white-knuckling Romney’s potential gaffes, afraid the words and actions of one man could come to represent the entire church.

Mormonism was literally pulled out of Joseph Smith’s hat. In 1827 Smith was a 25-year-old New Yorker who made a living using psychic powers to find treasure. According to church teachings, an angel asked him to retrieve golden plates buried in the hills of upstate New York. An unknown language was engraved on the plates, and Smith deciphered it by reading reflections in a seer stone at the bottom of his hat. Smith’s transcriptions became the Book of Mormon, and the text remains the cornerstone of the religion to this day.

Driven from state to state as the religion grew, Mormons have had an uneasy history — not just

to reach out to people. (Our region is one of seven missions in the world that allows missionaries to use social media.) He also wants to deliver more meaningful prayers and keep better records. Elder Camper’s goals look like a red-Sharpie haiku: Be less condemning, use less words, silence.

As always with the missionaries, they start with a prayer. The men go to their knees, fold their hands and close their eyes.

Elder Goynes leads the prayer; it’s slow, rhythmic, methodical and yet improvised. It carries a lullaby tone, but its sincerity jolts me awake; he thanks his heavenly father at length for allowing him time to exercise this morning. Elder Goynes becomes silent, and in unison they say, “We pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen,” as they always do when they end a prayer.

After the prayer, the two sit in silence reading the Book of Mormon, the King James Bible and lessons from their teaching manual, Preach My Gospel. I sit in silence, studying their faces.

Elder Camper is a baby faced 19-yearold from St. Michaels, Md., a small and

wealthy town near Chesapeake Bay. He puts product in his well-trimmed, brown hair and styles it ever so slightly in a fauxhawk. Elder Camper played baseball in high school and his muscular physique shows his athleticism. He sprays on Calvin Klein cologne, which somehow smells imprudent on a man with so many personal restrictions.

After graduating high school, Elder Camper went on a weeklong party with friends who binged on alcohol and drugs. He wanted something more meaningful for himself, so he signed-up for a mission, becoming the first missionary from his area in decades.

His Mom didn’t pressure him into going, she told me later on the phone. She had thought he’d stay home and attend the police academy he’d enrolled in. She exchanges emails with him every

Impressed by his hard work ethic, the company president asked him to be part owner.

But God called him on this mission instead.

The silence lasts for an hour — or almost an hour — when Elder Camper asks his companion if he’s ready. “We still have four minutes,” replies Elder Goynes.

At exactly 9 a.m. Elders Camper and Goynes join two other missionary roommates in the hallway. They stand side by

side, staring at the sheet music tacked to the wall. They briefly hum the rhythm of the song, then sing in surprising harmony: “Two thousand stripling warriors, young men of pow’r and might. Responded to the battle cry. O who will stand and fight?

Behold, our God is with us!” The men sing slowly, in low voices that blend with a haunting persistence.

For young Mormon men,

going on a mission is a right of passage, but not required. At 19, Romney spent 30 months in France as a missionary and converted 10 to 20 people to the LDS Church, by his own estimation. Convincing the wine-loving French to join a religion that prohibits alcohol might be almost as hard as winning 270 electoral votes. In 2007, approximately 30 percent of all 19-year-old LDS men became Mormon missionaries; from LDS families that are active in the church, approximately 80 to 90 continued on page 17

He’s the more extroverted of the two, and always seems to be talking without hogging the conversation. He tells me that he’s strayed from the path in his life, but that’s hard for me to believe that from a man who asks every person he meets, “How can I help you today?”

percent of young men served, according to The Salt Lake Tribune. The missionary men always serve with a companion; they are never to be farther than shouting distance apart. The church has 55,000 missionaries worldwide today, including about 7,000 women, referred to as “sisters.”

Hopeful missionaries must pass a test of worthiness. If you’ve had a child out of wedlock, a homosexual experience or committed a serious crime, you’re not worthy, according to the LDS Church. The missionaries are typically 19 to 26 years old, but there are senior and married couple missionaries too. After completing a six week training program, they are assigned to a region typically far away from home, and spend two years dedicating their lives to bringing people to God. The missionaries have to be frugal. They don’t get paid — in fact, they pay the church to go on a mission. Each missionary, often with the help of relatives, must pay $400 a month or almost $10,000 over two years. That money goes into a general church fund, which pays for each missionary’s total living expenses and helps offset the costs for missionaries serving abroad.

The church provides housing and a shared car, and gives each missionary $130 a month for food and most other living expenses.

Elders Camper and Goynes have been in Arcata for a month now. They love the natural beauty of the place, they say, but they love the people here even more. They’re serving in the Santa Rosa Mission, which stretches along the coast from Vallejo to Crescent City, and is importuned by 180 missionaries, including 16 in Humboldt County. For two years these elders will move around the region, typically assigned to new companions and new service areas every three to six months. Mission Presi-

left Elder Camper and Elder Goynes silently read verses of the King James Bible during their mandatory personal study session, which they conduct every day between 8 and 9 a.m. below As missionaries in the Arcata area, Elder Camper and Elder Goynes interact with a lot of Humboldt State students, who they say are more openminded to their message. “We try not to be like robots when we’re out proselytizing,” said Elder Camper, “We just try to relate any way we can. You can relate anything to the gospel.”

dent Rene Alba, an unpaid clergyman who will serve his position for three years, said shuffling the missionaries around prevents them from becoming too “chummy” with the community and losing focus.

After their hour

of silent study and their brief, haunting song, the companions start their second, more talkative

study session, that always begins by reading aloud five pages from their Missionary Handbook. Elder Goynes has five marks in his handbook, one for each time he’s read through it. They read passages from the King James Bible and the Book of Mormon out loud to each other. Then they discuss their itinerary for the day, planning whom to visit and how to teach them. Each visit

is custom tailored. “He’s got a short attention span, so don’t go on too long with the Joseph Smith lesson. Let’s stick to authority,” Elder Camper tells his companion.

We’re running late when we leave the apartment at 10:46 a.m. Elder Goynes climbs into the driver seat of the church’s silver Dodge Caravan. (The church also provides gas money.) A few boxes of the Book of Mormon and religious pamphlets sit in the trunk. Elder Camper stands behind the van and watches Elder Goynes back out. It’s another rule; one companion always stands outside when the car is in reverse. If Elder Camper were backing out in a desert and the nearest obstacle was 20 miles away, Elder Camper would still get out and watch him. We say a prayer and drive off, listening to a CD of a church leader speaking on the importance of missionary work. “Such a good line,” Elder Goynes exclaims every other minute, after a particular passage resonates with him.

We arrive at an apartment complex near Health Sport in Arcata. Before we get out, we say a prayer and grab a few extra copies of the Book of Mormon. A little

optimistic, I think. Elder Goynes smiles and waves at every passing car. We stop and chat with a few passersby. Sometimes the conversations flow easily, but others carry awkward silences with a clear subtext: Please stop bothering me now.

They ask every person they encounter the same question, “Is there anything we can do right now to help you, anything at all?”

Yesterday a college student took them up on their offer, and the elders spent the afternoon helping her move furniture into her new house.

We walk around the back of the apart-

ment complex when a car cruises by and the driver lifts a hand to wave back at Elder Goynes. “They’re always so nice in their cars,” he says.

The elders spot a young woman smoking a cigarette on her second-story balcony.

It’s a sort of Romeo and Juliet scene gone wrong. The Elders profess their love of God, but the young woman fails to return it.

“I’m spiritual, not religious,” she tells them.

“We hear that a lot,” say the missionaries.

“Why do you go to people? Why not let them come to you?” she asks in a stern voice. “Christ tells us to go everywhere,”

AFTER CIRCLING AN APARTMENT COMPLEX IN ARCATA, ELDER CAMPER AND ELDER GOYNES TALK WITH BRYN ROBERTSON AND HER ROOMMATE FOR ALMOST 15 MINUTES. ROBERTSON WAS SKEPTICAL OF THEIR MESSAGE, BUT EVENTUALLY AGREED TO TAKE A COPY OF THE BOOK OF MORMON.

replies Elder Goynes.

The missionaries tell her they want to bring happiness into her life with the Book of Mormon. She says being miserable helps her art. Her roommate comes out and tells them very politely that he’s an atheist, that the universe is an accident, just a bunch of chemicals in our brain, and we’re all taking it way too seriously.

The young woman chimes in, “Hey, I got a book for you to read!”

“Oh yeah, what’s it called?”

“Cruddy, it’s a graphic novel by Lynda Berry and it’s about murder and drugs.” she says tauntingly.

The elders write down the name of the author in their notebook and agree that the next time they’re in the library they will try to check it out. The elders make a deal. They’ll read her book if they can come up and give her the Book of Mormon. She agrees. There’s a feeling of truce when they meet at the door. (Because the church regulates their reading, they said later, they actually will not be allowed to read Cruddy until their mission ends.)

Back in the van, the elders pray for that woman on the balcony. Not that she finds the Book of Mormon to be true, although that would be nice, but that she finds happiness and that she may never be lonely.

“How did we do?” they ask me. “You did about as good as you could,” I answer honestly.

Days later I called the young woman, Bryn Robertson, and asked about her encounter with the Mormons. “I don’t really

like it when I’ve made it clear that I’m not interested and people persist. Then it feels intrusive,” she said, adding that she does try to keep an open mind to all beliefs. “I felt like in the beginning it was sincere. It switched halfway through and felt superficial. Then they spoke their agenda.” The Book of Mormon is still on her desk, unopened. She means to look at it eventually, just to stay open minded.

We forge on, door after door, among the hostile and the curious, before the elders lunch at their apartment. They insist on fixing me a chicken pot pie.

“They’re really good and they’re like a dollar at the store,” says Elder Camper, glad for such finds on a tight missionary budget. It’s 1:45 p.m. and we have to be in Eureka in 15 minutes. Elder Camper stands behind the car and chaperones Elder Goynes as he backs out. We say a prayer and take the 101 south.

“Are there any parts of your faith that you don’t agree with?” I ask the elders.

The car is silent in contemplation until Elder Goynes lets out a sigh and says, “I’d have to think about it for a while. Let me get back to you on that one.” I was surprised. I figured everyone saw cracks in their religion. So I pressed it further. “What about gay marriage?”

“Elder Camper and I have both have friends back home that are gay. People think we hate gay people, but that’s not true at all,” says Elder Goynes. “The church is against it, but we accept all people and

Elder Camper speaks about how he knows the Book of Mormon is true to Alexander Kurnizki, an engineering student at HSU. The missionaries don’t have prepared scripts and improvise off one another.

invite them to church.” Elder Camper tells me that in his last transfer in San Rafael he helped baptize a woman who used to be a lesbian, until she found Mormonism. Days later, after thinking it over, the elders tell me they don’t disagree with any part of Mormonism. They’re not cafeteria Christians, picking and choosing what they do and don’t like. They consume their faith whole.

At 2 p.m. we meet with eight other missionaries to inundate a small area with elders and sisters — they call it a blitz. The

sisters hand each companion an index card with a list of names and addresses to visit. These are people who haven’t been active in the church for a while or maybe showed an interest recently.

We get in the car, pray and drive to the first address on the list. Elder Goynes knocks on the door. “Friends knock, strangers ring,” he says. No answer. We hear the TV blasting next door and Elder Goynes takes the opportunity to try the neighbor too.

A fat man with a scruffy beard opens the door. He takes one look at us and says, “I can’t help you.” SLAM! The elders experience this every day.

They got 10 antagonistic people in a row yesterday, but the day before that, they had a string of people receptive to their message. A couple weeks ago, two men answered the door naked.

“Doesn’t that shit stuff piss make you mad?” I ask the elders. “How do you guys deal with that?”

Elder Goynes would later show me a Bible verse, Luke 6:23: “Blessed are you, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake.”

We approach a man gardening in front of his beautifully refurbished Victorian home. “How ya doing today sir? Is there anything we can help you with right now?”

Elder Camper asks. The man tells us to leave without even a glance in our direccontinued on page 21

Desert Island, the home of Acadia National Park, and became a river guide. Pete and Sara often work seven days a week from Memorial Day to Labor Day, taking the thrilling photos of rafters as they plummet down one of the Trinity River’s Class III whitewater rapids. When not on the river, they live in Arcata and do their shopping at Murphy’s Market. “The seafood department is great and so is the wine selection,” says Sara.

In the winter, Pete teaches sixth grade at Kneeland School and Sara continues her photography of the outdoors, weddings and senior class portraits. Murphy’s is just around the corner for Sara and Pete which is great, because they are always so busy!

tion. “Not here fellas; you gotta move on.

Move along now.”

From the beginning,

Mormons faced distaste and ridicule from mainstream America. After the church was formed in the early 19th century, Smith moved his reformed Christianity and its followers from state to state, essentially being evicted by governments that detested the religion’s belief in polygamy.

The church eventually settled in what was then Utah Territory, where it’s still headquartered today. The LDS Church abolished plural marriage in 1890 after the federal government seized its assets.

There is still a tiny Mormon Fundamentalist church that practices polygamy, but the LDS Church treats it like a crazy uncle, excommunicating its followers.

Over time, stressing hard work and an all-embracing safety net for fellow church members, the church became what it is today — wealthy, established and largely Republican. Mormons have climbed political ranks, with 15 church members currently serving in Congress, including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Although Reid is a Democrat, almost 80 percent of LDS Church members are Republican, according to Bob Rees, a Berkeley theology professor and practicing Mormon. When Rees teaches comparative religions, he reminds students that all faiths have practices or beliefs that seem odd to outsiders, but prejudice against Mormons is disproportionate, one of the remaining acceptable prejudices in American culture.

The church is also resolutely businesslike. In a 2011 cover story, Newsweek magazine compared the LDS church to “a sanctified multinational corporation — the General Electric of American religion … with an estimated net worth of $30 billion.” Mormons are taught to give the church 10 percent of their income.

Romney has implied that this tithing is part of why he should not release more tax returns. “Our church doesn’t publish how much people have given,” Romney told Parade magazine. “This is done entirely privately. … It’s a very personal thing between ourselves and our commitment to our God and to our church.”

made of wood that blends in with the surrounding woodland beside St. Joseph Hospital. A couple dozen people meet in a classroom-sized room with fluorescent lighting and metal folding chairs. The woman getting baptized is in her mid-30s and wears a body-hugging dress, a dress so white it almost glows. Add a train to this floor-length gown and it would evoke a wedding. We pray and sing hymn number 157, “We Are Not Ashamed to Own Our Lord.” The Eureka sister missionaries then sing a duet in perfect pitch, so perfect that tears glisten in the eyes of the people sitting next to me.

After a half hour or so of singing and praying, we all cram into a small room next door, with a blue-tiled basin called the baptismal font. A large mirror hangs above so friends and family can see from every angle. The woman plugs her nose and Elder Nathan Tubbs, a missionary dressed in a white robe, guides her head back and submerges her fully, then brings her back up. The room is silent. Only the water dripping off her body into the pool makes a noise. Two men quickly step in and close doors in front of the font, as if to say, “‘Nothing to see here, folks, move along.”

The whole thing lasts maybe a minute. I nearly bring my hands together to clap — it feels like an applause moment, but everyone stands quiet. The group migrates back to the original room to sing hymn number 227, “There is Sunshine in my Soul Today.” The newly minted Mormon comes in midway through the song, her hair still wet and up in a bun. Again I want to clap or whisper congratulations or offer a hug.

But the service goes on.

We leave the church at 7:19 p.m. and hit the streets again to spread the word of Jesus Christ. I’m constantly yawning, while the elders seem to have eternal energy. More knocks yield nothing. More doors slam. We do this for another hour and a half before calling it a night. The elders typically return home at 9 p.m.

They’ll journal for an hour, prepare plans for the following day, pray, and then it’s lights out at 10:30 p.m. Before leaving the van, Elder Goynes recites the mileage we covered today and Elder Camper records it in a notebook — mileage limitations are another rule.

It’s time for me to depart. We gather in a circle in their apartment, bow our heads and Elder Camper leads us in prayer. “O dear heavenly father, help Scottie to find the Book of Mormon to be true,” he says.

Hearing my name shocks me. But then he asks his savior to help me write an awesome story with a clear head. I appreciate the gesture and I sure as hell heck need all the help I can get.

I step outside into the cool, Arcata air and immediately untuck my shirt — it feels vaguely sinful. I hop onto my bike and head straight to Redwood Curtain to meet a friend and a former professor for a much needed beer or three. The bar brings sunshine to my soul. I tell a joke or two with vulgar punch lines. I’m happy to stop censoring the occasional curse word.

I swig my goblet of duppel and tell my drinking partners, “I met two really nice guys today.” I am awed by their niceness, their rules, their implacable lives. Then I order another round. l

Before you’ve finished it, you’ll know about container ships and sea ice, childhood and toys, the six degrees of freedom and the ache of a father for his toddler son.

You’ll visit a plastic sand beach, an aging Chinese toy factory and a largely empty looking stretch of ocean that’s become known as a Garbage Patch of the sea.

The gentle whimsy of this very intelligent book begins with its cover image — a bright-eyed yellow plastic duck bobbing across the waves.

Its subtitle promises: “The True Story of 28,800 Bath Toys Lost at Sea, and of the Beachcombers, Oceanographers, Environmentalists and other Fools, Including the Author, Who Went in Search of Them.”

Author Donovan Hohn is no fool, but part of his charm is that he’s more than willing to suspect himself of it.

When the book opens, Hohn is a schoolteacher and sometime magazine writer who gradually becomes seduced by the saga of those floating bath toys — duck, frog, turtle and beaver — that have fallen off a container ship.

Over time, as his first child is born and begins to talk, Hohn chases the tale of the toys: where they came from, where they went, how they disintegrated and what they can tell us about plastics in the sea.

In this, he is as rigorous with his subject as he is with himself, pointing out weak assumptions and sketchy data.

He pieces the story together on separate trips, often on a shoestring, and writes about each foray as he goes. Parts of Moby-Duck were printed first in Harper’s, Outside and the New York Times Magazine, and sometimes the seams between magazine article and book-length work are poorly stitched, leaving awkward bits of repetition.

Largely, though, the mash-up works. Like a beachcombing kid running up with fresh wonders, Hohn constantly digresses from his central plastic theme.

The hoax memorialized in Strait of Juan de Fuca, the leather-heavy diet of doomed arctic explorers, the trick for telling a fulmar from a gull, the idea of wilderness in a Wallace Stevens poem — they’re all part of the journey.

This is a language-lovers book, rich in passages that beg to be read aloud. Bright red and blue wetsuits hanging to dry “looked like melting superheroes.” Of sailor and plastics pursuer Charles Moore, Hohn writes, “his heavy-lidded eyes and wrinkly neck give him the aspect of a sun-drugged tortoise.” And of the iconic duck: “What misanthrope, what damp, drizzly November of a sourpuss, upon beholding a rubber duck afloat, does not feel a Crayola ray of sunshine?”

Where Have You Gone, Uncle Vanya ?

There’s more than one way to see a play

By William S. Kowinski williamkowinski@northcoastjournal.com

A

s the 2011-12 theatrical season ended in August, I took it as an opportunity to set aside the year’s musicals, contemporary comedies and clown shows for

some different theatrical experiences.

Unfortunately my travel budget doesn’t even extend to Oregon, so I must bring contrasting productions home, where I can travel in time as well as space.

24 North Coast Journal • Thursday, Sept. 6, 2012 • northcoastjournal.com

It started when I ran across a filmed version of The Seagull by Anton Chekhov on Turner Classic Movies. Featuring a young Vanessa Redgrave, it a luminous film directed in 1968 by Sidney Lumet.

Though Lumet made Dog Day Afternoon, The Verdict and many others, he regarded this as his best film (the TCM introducer said). Still, TCM seems to be the only place it’s available.

This prompted a kind of longing, especially when I realized that I hadn’t seen a Chekhov play ever on the North Coast, nor given the present configurations and situations of theatres here, is it ever likely I will. I checked around, and nobody could remember one here for maybe 25 years.

Director, actor and professor James Floss recalled Pacific Art Center Theatre productions of The Cherry Orchard and Three Sisters (with Terry Desch, Toodie Dodgen and Bonnie Bareilles), both decades ago.

It doesn’t take long for conversations with veteran North Coast actors to turn to the late lamented Pacific Art Center Theatre. It’s clear now that it left a niche in the local stage ecology that’s never been filled, not just for Chekhov but an array of classic modern playwrights.

I’ve seen Three Sisters at the Pittsburgh Public Theatre, and two productions of The Cherry Orchard: one by Bulgarian-born director Mladen Kiselov at Carnegie Mellon University, and one at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in 2007, directed by Libby Appel, who did The Seagull at OSF this season. But the Chekhov play that grabbed me this summer was Uncle Vanya.

Coincidentally (I later discovered on the Internet) there were two productions of Uncle Vanya in New York City this year, including a much-praised one at Lincoln Center featuring the film star Cate Blanchett, produced by her theatre company.

[Insert Chekhovian sigh here.]

My explorations were instead via DVD and VHS. I started with August, the 1996 film directed by and starring Anthony Hopkins. It transposes Uncle Vanya to Hopkins’ native Wales, pretty much intact. (It features Kate Burton, daughter of another famous Welsh actor, Richard Burton.) Outside the Russian milieu but in a corresponding context, it illuminates aspects of the play more sharply for English and American audiences.

Next was Vanya on 42nd Street, the 1994 Louis Malle film of a production directed by Andre Gregory, starring Wallace Shawn. The conceit here is that we’re witnessing a group of actors who’ve been exploring the play in an abandoned old theatre. It starts with them arriving for a run-through, chatting with a few invited audience members, then with each other.

And eventually you realize that this chat has actually become Chekhov — the play has started.

Actor Peter Ustinov remarked that Chekhov’s characters are so self-absorbed that they don’t really relate to each other, and so the actors are all soloists. But in this intimate and low-keyed version, the actors and their characters do relate dramatically, even beyond a New York manner of exchanging accounts of their obsessions.

This Vanya uses the adaptation by playwright David Mamet, as does a 1991 BBC version with Ian Holm, David Warner and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, which I’ve watched several times. Mamet gave the late 19th century dialogue a contemporary cadence, sharpening the humor and at times seemingly highlighting the relevance. One character, Dr. Astrov, is passionately committed to saving the disappearing forest, partly because it moderates the climate. “We have destroyed the forest, our rivers run dry, our wildlife is all but extinct, our climate ruined.” This jumps out, emphasizing Chekhov’s theme of dashed potential and waste. This Uncle Vanya is available in a DVD set of Chekhov by the BBC that also includes a 1970 production with Anthony Hopkins.

So why multiple Vanyas, one after the other? Besides seeing and hearing how each of these great actors play these roles, there’s the experience of structure — not in the way directors may analyze it, but more like the way actors feel it.

Acting in the same play multiple times in a run provides a unique sense of the play’s structure. Actors may see the play from their character’s point of view, but they experience the rhythm of it through their actions, their entrances and exits, and even when they take breaths. The structure of a Chekhov play in particular is difficult to absorb in a single performance, but it’s there.

This BBC collection also contains The Wood Demon, an early version of Uncle Vanya with a lot of the same dialogue but very different structure, as well as several other obscure plays (including a Chekhov farce) and multiple versions of the famous ones, featuring Judi Dench, John Gielgud, Rex Harrison, Michael Gambon, Patrick Stewart, etc. So at least the year ahead will not lack Chekhov, if only on my screens.

Illuminating the Dark

Pretty Lights lights up Blue Lake, the difficult life of an HSU dorm dweller and this week in Jah!

Derek Smith, aka Pretty Lights

By Travis Turner and Andrew Goff calendar@northcoastjournal.com

F

or most of us there is that one artist that easily slides out of the iTunes quiver, loads itself into the Bose and fires you straight into the night.

Reaching for it is as thoughtless as picking out socks. You know the music; you hear it in your sleep and hum it while walking down the street.

For me that music comes from Derek Smith, better known as Pretty Lights. Smith brings elegance to his arrangements of electronic sounds and samples. From Filling Up the City Skies (2008) to Spilling Over the Side (2010) Smith makes music listening as easy as hitting shuffle.

Each track tells a specific story and instills a sense of wonder. Some are like wind blowing through an open window making curtains dance and sway. Others are like a walk down an alley in early morning fog with hushed sounds that cause you to stare into dark places. At times the music is so familiar that it feels like Smith reaches in and plucks the strings of your memory. That sense of the familiar is not an accident. Smith mixes in everyone from Nirvana to Run DMC in what he calls his Electro Hip-Hop Soul style. He even remixed John Denver’s “Take Me Home Country Roads” in 2011.

In high school he wrote and produced hip-hop in Fort Collins, Colo., and was soon opening for STS9, The Disco Biscuits and Widespread Panic. In 2009 Smith and his musical partner at the time, Cory Eberhard, started playing on the festival circuit. Over the next year they played at Bonnaroo, Rothbury, Electric Daisy Carnival and Camp Bisco.

In 2010 Pretty Lights replaced Eberhard

with drummer Adam Deitch and made their debut appearance at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado. In January 2011 Pretty Lights released two albums on the newly formed Pretty Lights music label. That label gives away all of its music for free, which makes it easy to get some new blood pumping through your mp3 player.

World Famous Productions will be presenting Pretty Lights at the Blue Lake Casino on Sunday, along with special guests Stephan Jacobs and Paul Basic. The show starts at 7 p.m. and will be outdoors, so bring a jacket or be prepared to dance like a crazy person. Tickets are available at Lotus Café or Peoples Records in Arcata, The Works in Eureka or online.

Those Spoiled Students

Isn’t college supposed to prepare you for the soul-starving real world? If that’s the case, HSU is mega-failing. Dorm dwellers can hardly roll out of their bunks without landing on some hip-reeking soundsmith spoon-fed to them by AS Presents.

Just take this week’s four nights of awesome as proof — three of them school nights, btw. Tuesday sees the Depot return of antique American music revivalists Pokey Lafarge and the South City Three, playing with local string manipulators the Striped Pig Band. Wrapping up a solid summer of exposure opening for Jack White and Old Crow Medicine Show, the group doles out early ragtime and country blues passionately performed live. How authentic is their stuff? Lafarge’s duet with Vince Giordano on “Lovesick Blues” will be featured on the Sept. 23 episode of HBO’s Prohibition-

26 North Coast Journal • Thursday, Sept. 6, 2012 • northcoastjournal.com

era Buscemi-feast Boardwalk Empire. The Home Box Office doesn’t mess around. So, ya.

On Sunday, the Depot will be bouncin’ when the cross-dressing “Queen Diva of Bounce Music” Big Freedia drops a visual and aural assault on student senses. Joined by local beat vendor DJ Anya, the androgynous New Orleans performer is making good on a promise to return after having to cancel a show back in February — commendable! Not everyone does! To be clear, this is high-energy party music. Lyric snobs can stay home and play the Dance Dance Revolution-style “Booty Battle” game on Big Freedia’s website. (Actually, everyone should check that out).

More conscious rhymes may be absorbed Wednesday when underground hip-hop heavy Aesop Rock takes the stage at the Van Duzer Theatre. (Man, is this the first time a strict hip-hop artist has rocked the JVD? Bob would know. He’ll be back next week.) The San Francisco MC is touring in support of his very personal and latest album Skelethon.

Finally, passionate alt punk band Joyce Manor will bring a garage-y, screamed Weezerish sound to the Depot on Friday. The band will be joined by local noisemakers Aleister Christ and The Small Axe. As with all these shows, the rest of Humboldt is encouraged to join in on the good times, but without those student ID cards you’re paying a tad bit more.

Lucky students.

Dig Out Your Combat Boots Things were looking just a little too normal around the Arcata Plaza for, well, at least the people who are bringing you the first ever Club Deliverance this Saturday at Jambalaya.

Goths in search of a place to belong will be whelmed by an evening of Industrial delights — name drops like KMFDM, Joy Division, Nine Inch Nails — courtesy of DJ Zephyr. Black eyeliner, velvet and lace are not required, but if the door person deems that you’re “dressed for the occasion” you get in cheaper. Which is good.

And, Of Course, Reggae

Is this not Humboldt? Do we not require reggae at least once a week? We do.

This week’s off-beat rhythmic diversions can be found first on Friday at Mazzotti’s in Arcata, where roots reggae road warriors Midnite will make with the island sounds — well, not Jamaica. They’re from the U.S. Virgin Islands. Across the pond at Nocturnum on the same night Dutch reggae singer Ziggi Recado and the 7th Street Band will be joined by tireless local performer Ishi Dube. And finally, Wednesday, HumBrews has Jamaican reggae elder statesmen Black Uhuru — they won the first ever Grammy Award for “Best Reggae Album” back in 1985, kids.

Now, while not reggae, we will mention one more time that Yogoman Burning Band is waaay fun and they have a few reggae-ish songs and — and! — Humboldt has three chances to see them this week. First chance: Saturday at the Humboldt Pride Festival at Eureka’s Halverson Park. Second chance: Saturnight at HumBrews along with Missing Link’s Matt and Adam. Third chance: Sunday at Mad River Brewery in Blue Lake. I recommend you Yogoman up, and get to at least one of those.

That night, the fox had trotted into each of their dreams.

But in the morning, none of the storytellers would remember him. Maybe a vague tickle on their noses where the fox had breathed, whisker-close as he watched their eyes skitter under closed lids. Maybe they tasted his musty blackberry scent on the backs of their tongues. Perhaps they awoke with a daring unease that made them want to dash up Trinidad Head and lean far, far, far out over cliff’s edge to gaze longingly at the rockbashing waves, then pull back just before losing balance to laugh joyously, released from fear.

It didn’t matter to the fox that they didn’t remember his actual pointy rust nose or white whiskers or sharp, berrystained teeth. That they didn’t hear him creep next to their beds on mooncooled paws to stare at them. Alter their minds.

The fox was just making sure they felt at home in his home. That they got it. They would be telling all sorts of tall tales the next couple of days to all sorts of gullible people. Let them have fox essence and fox canny in their minds and hearts. Fox respect.

Satisfied he’d done his best, the fox turned from the last bedside — another snoring storyteller forever changed by his visit — and padded quietly out the door of the inn in the trees, up the road into the small town of Trinidad, and then down to the beach and up again, up, up along the hill-twining path to the top of Trinidad Head. He took his time.

Stopped frequently to clip the low berries from the bushes with his teeth, chew and swallow, and then dance up onto his hind legs to lean, forepaws pressing into leafy branch flesh, for the high ones. Along the way he pooped a lot, bright, seedy, berry-red piles of welcome and warning. You’re in my home now. It’ll be my home when you leave. Come, have ground, 3750 Harris St., Eureka. Featuring Humboldt’s Widow Makers facing off against the Sacred City’s Disciples and the Redwood Rollers against Sacred City’s Sacrificers! humboldtrollerderby.com. $12/$10 adv. 441-1993.

Street Legal Drag Racing. 5:30 p.m. Samoa Drag Strip, Eureka. Cars go vroom. samoadragstrip.com.

some berries. Then scat.

If the fox could chuckle, he would have. Honestly, though, these storytelling folk were probably all right. He was glad they were here.

The 13th annual Storytelling Festival by the Sea begins Friday evening, Sept. 7, and continues through Saturday, Sept. 8, at the Trinidad Town Hall, 409 Trinity in the center of Trinidad. Local and visiting storytellers spin tales from around the world — from the North Coast to Ireland and beyond. The Neena McNair Family Singers and other musicians might break the spell — and pull you into a new one.

Master storyteller Cynthia Restivo, who honed her acting chops touring Europe with a theater troupe, will perform both days, and on Saturday she’ll conduct a storytelling workshop, from 8:30 to 10 a.m., called Stories Well-Lived. Other fun includes ghost tales (Friday night), an open-mic story swap — your chance to shine! — and yet more stories, summoning dragons, heroes, foolish folk, fate (maybe foxes?) and love.

Registration is at 6:15 p.m. Friday, and at 7 p.m.

Liz Lara O’Rourke performs the opening song.

You can pay an all-show $30 fee ($15 for kids 4-15); or $8 per event ($4 kids); $12 for two events ($6 kids); $65 for a family pack; $25 for just Saturday.

The Cynthia Restive Workshop costs $10 (unless you’re a librarian, in which case you get into it free!).

Also, you can buy lunch ($10) and dinner ($20) on Saturday from Teri’s Custom Catering, but you must order ahead: Call Dan: 677-3840.

The Storytelling Festival is put on by the North Coast Storytellers Guild, part of The Ink People Center for the Arts. For a full festival schedule go to www.northcoaststorytellers.inkpeople.org.

Shiny Cars!

Hot Wings!

Homosexuality!

What could these three things possibly have in common? They will all be rightfully celebrated at individual, geographically overlapping festivals in Old Town Eureka this coming Saturday, Sept. 8!

Oh my! Is this town big enough for three clashing events? We report, you decide!

First and probably most important, this weekend sees the culmination of a week’s worth of LGBT-themed events at the annual Humboldt Pride Parade and Festival taking place at Halvorsen Park.

Rainbow flags will be waving as the Marching Lumberjack-enhanced kickoff parade leaves the C Street Plaza at 11:45 a.m. and makes its way down Waterfront Drive to the park where the mighty Yogoman Burning Band — arguably the most fun band in history — provides the soundtrack for the gay-ety.

The aforementioned parade will pass right

by Businesses Against Meth Use’s fourth annual serving of Chicken Wing Fest, taking place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Eureka’s Boardwalk at the foot of F Street. Multiple booths featuring local wingsmiths will attempt to explode your tongue inside your head. Bring some wet naps.

The smell of saucy fowl flesh will likely waft a block away where the Boys and Girls’ Clubbenefitting 19th annual Cruz’n Eureka classic car show will take up a good chunk of Second Street around the Gazebo. Expect a day full of chrome, exhaust and blinding paint jobs. (Saturday’s car herding will be preceeded on Friday night with a cruise through Old Town from 5:30-7:30 p.m., you know, if moving cars grab you more than parked cars).

Old Town be hoppin’ this weekend! But can the gay community, the motor heads and the meat enthusiasts coexist? Show up to find out!

BAT ‘N’ ROUGE

PHOTO BY BOB DORAN

Ladies, Play With Your Balls Take me out to the ball game Take me out to the crowd Why is that man in that dress, you ask?

I guess he thought it matched his catcher’s mask!

So make sure to pack extra nylons That slide to home is a pain!

Cuz’ it’s one, two, three runs you pout At the drag ball game!

Yes, sports fans! ’Tis that time of year once again when local celebrities people-you-might-haveheard-of-maybe check their egos and their trousers at the gate for a good ol’ sloppy game of softball.

Yes, as part of Humboldt Pride Week, the Eureka Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are once again hosting all the eye candy that is Bat ‘N’ Rouge, a comedic softball fundraiser for the Arcata Forest Fund Committee. In short, you get to watch people in your community make fools of themselves and, eventually, you get some cool trails in the woods to play around on. Win/win.

This year’s event is a little different than in years past in that instead of two teams of not-so-macho local notables, one celeb dream/queen team will be challenged by the established LGBT softball powerhouse The OUTfielders. It could, wait no, will get ugly (seriously, some people should never wear lipstick). Who will be setting this year’s fashion “don’ts” trends? Here’s a deep roster: Andy Salatny, Mark Andre, Kirk Cohune, Sean Robertson, Gene Joyce, Mike Wilson, Gregg Foster, Bob Ornelas, Hank Sims, Andrew Goff, Will Startare, Travis Turner, John Shelter, Toby Mays, Briar Bush, Pete Nichols, Tom Chapman, Shane Brinton, Michael Winkler, Steve Salzman, Gabe Pressure and Johnny Berrypicker.

In addition to those fools, the Kinetic Rutabaga Queens will act as impartial umpires and there’ll be a “half time” tease courtesy of the Va Va Voom Burlesque Vixens. Much better.

Bat ‘N’ Rouge takes place at the Arcata Ballpark on Friday, Sept. 7 at 5 p.m. Tickets are $20 for stadium seats or $10 for grass seats. For more info go to humboldtpride.org.

Blood, Booze and Obama

Some scoundrels make moonshine, others political hack jobs

By John J. Bennett filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

LAWLESS. From a distance, Lawless looks like about nine-tenths of a great movie. Director John Hillcoat (The Proposition, The Road) specializes in methodical, nuanced meditations on men of violence. Here again he constructs a reality that demands severe action of its inhabitants. That reality, backwoods Tennessee circa 1930, is drawn from a novel by Matt Bondurant, which in turn was inspired by real events. Gloom-rocker Nick Cave, who also wrote The Proposition, adapted the screenplay.

These guys are specialists in combat and desolation, making a movie about bootleggers versus the establishment.

Seems like a win-win, especially considering the amazing cast they assembled.

With Tom Hardy in the lead, supported

by Jessica Chastain, Guy Pearce and Gary Oldman, Lawless should boast one of the best ensemble performances of the year. But sadly, the performances are as mismatched and clumsy as the rest of the movie.

Hardy, Jason Clarke and Shia LaBeouf play the brothers Bondurant. They oper-

ate a café and filling station way back in the hills of Franklin County, Tenn. They also dominate the illicit liquor trade, with a little cooperation from the good ol’ boys of local law enforcement. When big-city crime (in the form of Oldman’s Tommy-gun-toting Floyd Banner) crops up in sleepy Franklin County, drawn by the steady stream of moonshine, Special continued on next page

continued from previous page Deputy Charlie Rakes (Pearce) is close on its heels. And when the Bondurants refuse to roll over and profit-share with him, Rakes starts an ever-escalating war. Caught up in the conflict are a former Chicago showgirl (Chastain) and a coy preacher’s daughter (Mia Wasikowska) who fall for Hardy and LeBeouf, respectively.

The violence is stark, realistic and disturbingly memorable. But bloody beatings do not a movie make. Between the fistfights and shootouts, Lawless is unevenly paced, often unconvincingly acted, and disappointingly impotent.

For one thing, Hillcoat uses the crutch of a voiceover to bookend the movie. This device is often a lazy substitute for visual storytelling, and here it allows LeBeouf to indulge his painfully phony Tennessee accent while delivering an unnecessary history lesson on Prohibition. The movie’s pacing and structure are also problematic.

The first act builds gradually, effectively establishing atmosphere. But midway through, Hillcoat drops back and punts, using voice-over to fast-forward the story, effectively undoing his own smart filmmaking. By the ostensible climax, all dramatic tension has evaporated. Frustrating.

Acting, or the directing of the actors, may be the movie’s weakest point. I’ll acknowledge a bias here: I’m not generally a LeBeouf fan. However, he isn’t as unlikeable or unconvincing in this as I expected.

That being said, his dialect coaches should receive an angry letter. And I don’t think he has the presence to carry off such a demanding role. Hardy, as always, is a pleasure to watch: With his cardigan sweater and grunting, he folds some much-needed humor in with the terrible blood-letting.

The most troubling, out-of-place performance is Pearce’s. He invests himself fully in the character, but that character seems ill-conceived. His Charlie Rakes is a nightmarish caricature of Chicago corruption, a rapacious dandy who nonsensically mutters Bible verse and may be a closeted homosexual. Pearce plays it to the hilt, but he belongs in a different movie.

A superb cast, a talented director, an interesting historical period, illegal booze — it’s all there. It just isn’t put together quite right. Lawless disappoints because its unrealized potential is evident in every frame. R. 115m.

2016: OBAMA’S AMERICA. If this was a better movie, I might be worried. Dinesh D’Souza is the kind of pandering neocon intellectual who impressionable voters seem to love. And his lame-brained crackpot theory about Obama’s agenda might be insane enough to seem plausible to those voters. Fortunately, the movie he’s foisted on us is so poorly crafted, so stri-

dently divisive, that it will only appeal to people who made up their minds about Obama long ago. In the words of one very enthused audience member at Friday night’s screening: “You want to show it to people, but they won’t listen. They’re all brainwashed.” Wow. D’Souza posits that Obama inherited a virulently anti-colonial bent from his father, whom he only met once. The tenure of their relationship isn’t important, apparently. What is important is D’Souza’s thick-witted, barely supported thesis, which posits that in service of his father’s will, Obama intends to destroy the United States, both economically and militarily. This will allow him to raise up the colonized nations of the world and plunge us back into the Cold War. There’s a lot of Reaganite Kool-Aid drinking going on in this thing.

As I said, it’s a blessing that 2016 is so shoddily constructed. It stretches about 15 minutes of content to feature-length with a lot of B-grade second-unit work and footage of D’Souza talking on the phone with an assortment of third-tier conservative pundits. Why on the phone?

Was it too expensive to get them in the same room? Too dangerous? Not that it matters. This movie doesn’t even pretend at centrism or attempt to reach across the aisle. It just preaches to the converted.

PG. 87m.

Previews

THE COLD LIGHT OF DAY. A young Wall Street trader (Henry Cavill) takes a sailboat trip with his family in Spain, because why the hell not? His family gets kidnapped, and it turns out his dad is a CIA agent, because he’s Bruce Willis. Throw in a mysterious briefcase and Sigourney Weaver and you have yourself this movie. PG13. 93m.

THE WORDS. A young writer (Bradley Cooper) achieves mega-success by publishing the Great American Novel. Trouble is, he didn’t write (dramatic pause) the words. Some old man played by Jeremy Irons did. (He’s literally credited as “The Old Man.”) Also, Dennis Quaid shows up, looking concerned. PG13. 96m.

AI WEIWEI: NEVER SORRY. Critically acclaimed documentary chronicles this world-renowned Chinese artist and activist working to make statements about — and in defiance of — an oppressive government. R. 91m.

Your Arcata Theatre Lounge overview starts and ends with Sci-Fi Pint and Pizza Nights. Thursday’s iteration, from 6 to 10 p.m. features robots! In Assassin (1986), Robert Conrad must stop a megalomaniac scientist’s robot from assassinating the president, and in Robot Monster (1953), an alien called Ro-Man attacks Earth

with his “calcinatory death ray.” Friday is Ocean Night, featuring Otter 501 at 6:30 p.m. This quasi-documentary follows an orphaned baby otter from Mendocino whose absurd cuteness will liquefy your brain. From cute to clever: Saturday at 6 p.m. brings Joss Whedon’s witty space western Serenity. PG13. 6 p.m. And next Wednesday completes the cycle with another Sci-Fi night, 6-10 p.m. this one with European seasonings: Voyage to the End of the Universe (1963) comes from Czechoslovakia while Assignment: Outer Space hails from Italy.

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. Is it a fascistic diatribe against the Occupy movement, or just a Batman movie? Discuss.

PG13. 164m.

THE EXPENDABLES 2. Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Norris et alii employ steroids and explosives as they rage against the dying of the light. R. 102m.

Occam’s Razor and the Face on Mars

By Barry Evans

fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com

T

he story goes that the greatest philosopher of his day, William of Occam (1285-1349) invented the Law of Parsimony, which has come down to us as the principle of “Occam’s Razor.” Roughly put, it says that when you’re trying to explain anything, you should “shave away” unnecessary premises, making no more assumptions than are strictly needed.

Although credited to this Franciscan friar, the principle had already been around for centuries before Occam. For instance, the second century Egyptian mathematician Ptolemy wrote, “We consider it a good principle to explain phenomena by the simplest hypotheses possible.”

Still, today, Occam’s Razor it is. So in practice, if I told you that sometimes when I let go of a ball it went up, not down, the principle might suggest to you that natural laws were involved — perhaps the ball was attached to an elastic string, or I was underwater, or I was lying — rather than bringing in some additional assumption (involving, perhaps, an antigravity device).

Keeping with our recent Martian theme, to celebrate the start of Curiosity’s mission in Gale Crater, let’s look at how Occam’s Razor might approach the notorious “Face on Mars.” How did it get there? Who carved it? Is it evidence of a now defunct civilization on the Red Planet? When the two Viking landers touched down on the surface of Mars in the summer of 1976, they left their parent spacecraft orbiting the planet. In addition to functioning as relay stations for the landers’ signals, the orbiters mapped the surface of Mars in some detail. One photograph, taken over a region known

as Cydonia, shows a mile-wide sphinxlike face. It’s pretty crude, which is not surprising, considering the resolution of the Viking photos was only about 300 feet. The left side of the face is in shadow, but the right eye socket, mouth and chin are quite discernible. A slightly flattened nose with a nostril right where it should be completes the picture. If that isn’t an ancient relic of a giant human face on the surface of Mars, then what is it?

Occam’s Razor might prompt us to surmise that it might be a natural geological formation. And indeed, later photographs have confirmed that it’s a wind-eroded hill, similar to many other wind-eroded hills in Cydonia, only sculpted a little differently in a way that suggests a face. We humans are pattern seekers. We’re good at finding meaning in random shapes. We’ve all seen animals in the clouds, castles in glowing coals, and a man (or rabbit, if you happen to be from Japan) in the moon. Given the vast and varied terrain photographed by the Viking orbiters, it would have been surprising if evocative patterns hadn’t been found. Oh yes, and that dot, exactly where you’d expect to find a right nostril? It’s a transmission error caused by telemetry noise. You can find many more of them in the same photo. Natural feature or alienmade sculpture? Wind-eroded hill or huge face carved by ancient Martians? I don’t think William of Occam would have had a problem with this one. How about you? l Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo. com) still can’t see the rabbit in the moon. Camel, yes. Rabbit, never.
