Censorious Editor: Over decades I’ve been associated with several periodicals that have published a (free?) cover story each year from Project Censored (“Project Censored,” Oct. 18), but this time my annual irritation requires expression.

Though the topics summarized in these stories may be “underreported” (which is all the project now claims in the small print) by standards of journalism or a political point of view, calling them “censored” is nothing but cynically sensationalistic marketing which I find offensive and destructive. Back in the day when I was a columnist, I once wrote about cigarette advertising campaigns targeting young people, for a newspaper that was taking that advertising money from tobacco companies. The piece was killed, I lost my column, the newspaper mounted a campaign to discredit me, and my writing career in that city was pretty much over. That’s censorship. Knowing what it really is — and saying what it really is — I believe is too important to risk losing the meaning of the term for the sake of easy

but misapplied imagery or a self-serving brand name.

William S. Kowinski, Arcata Editor: Thanks for the article on Project Censored. I have been buying and reading from cover to cover the Censored books since 1994. I met Carl Jenson, founder of Project Censored and Peter Phillips, successor to Carl Jenson as editor of the Censored books, at the California Faculty Association meetings in Los Angeles. During one of these meetings Peter asked if I would like to be a faculty evaluator for Project Censored. I did it for a couple of years around 2005 until my traveling made it impossible to continue.

All of the material in Censored is researched by higher education students supervised by faculty members. The top 25 censored news stories are submitted to a panel of about 30 judges from the United States and three or four other countries. This panel ranks the censored news stories, and they are published in Censored. All participants in this endeavor are listed in the Censored books. The sources for all the censored news stories are listed, and articles in the Censored are well-footnoted.

As well as important news that did

not receive a lot of attention in our media, there is a section called junk food news which identifies several extensively covered news stories which have no significant effect on our lives. For each junk food news story there is an account of events which could have affected our lives that occurred at the time the junk food news occurred but were not covered by the media. That section makes for interesting reading.

One of the most significant sections in the 2011 edition of Censored deals with what the authors called State Crimes Against Democracy (SCAD), pages 231 to 291. If you are concerned about what is happening in our country today, I highly recommend these sections.

continued from previous page repeated on web site after web site — and all the sites were those with a political agenda and oozing polemics. Finally we come to the NCJ source, “Project Censored,” which acquired the story through Electronic Intifada.

So, was the statement in the NCJ true?

I cannot prove it was false, but my understanding of Israeli society, its government and its policies tells me it is not likely to be true. The source of the story is one Palestinian prisoner and a representative of a U.N. agency whose comments were taken out of context. But the important point is that you presented it as if it were true.

Just because the mainstream media does not report something and alternative media does, does not mean that what the alternative media is presenting is factually correct. The first rule of good journalism: Check your sources.

Dispiriting Law Editor: Synchronicity? On Sunday Oct. 14, John Tutuska died (Blog Jammin’, Oct. 18).

On sunny days, Tutuska could often be seen sitting and meditating on the sidewalk next to the Clarke Museum in Old Town. According to your obituary: “Shop owners and workers in Old Town remembered Tutuska fondly on Monday, telling stories of his thoughtfulness and spirit.”

However, on Tuesday, Oct. 16, the Eureka City Council voted unanimously to make it illegal to sit or lie in public in the city’s business districts between the hours of 6 a.m. and 11 p.m.

sumption. Dwelling endlessly on plastic bags is a distraction from seeking that more hopeful, useful goal.

Sonia Baur, MD, Garberville

Editor: Thanks to Mitch Trachtenberg for nudging us toward taking our own bags to the market. Unless you bake your own bread or buy high-end baked goods, it’s hard to avoid acquiring a lot of plastic bread bags. But those bags are really strong, so why not shake out the crumbs and re-use them for our groceries? They will last for several years of shopping.

They’re perfect containers for loose pieces of fruit or vegetables, wet lettuce and bulk goods like grains or beans, holding like items together for convenience and speed at the checkout counter. I use them until they are completely worn out and then recycle them in the store’s bin. Just be sure to blot out the old bar code completely with a solid black rectangle: Drawing a line through it is not enough, because the laser can pick up any visible code and you may find you’ve been charged for something you didn’t purchase. (Also, shop by bicycle if you can.

Putting fresh produce and bulk goods into light, flexible bread bags avoids wasteful packaging, and you can then put the smaller bags together in a big reusable bag and fit that into your backpack or bike basket.)

Orr Marshall, Eureka Editor: Thank you for your article on reusable vs. “single use” plastic and paper bags at the grocery store. It is more than time for people to stop throwing away “single-use” bags.

Bagging It Editor: I just loved Mitch Trachtenberg’s article about the big bag “tadoo” (“Bag by Bag,” Oct. 11). Of course we all want to do the right and good thing, and he has ferreted out the information we need to make an intelligent decision, but at 0.3 percent of the “waste-stream,” plastic bags are a minuscule part of the problem.

Monopoly capitalism gallops on consuming the earth’s resources, and capitalism is a growth-model economy. Its prosperity depends on growth, which requires ever-greater consumption (and attendant waste creation) of the earth’s resources. Maybe someday we can be clever enough to devise a prosperous life which is not based on maximizing con-

We’d like to add: First, plastic bags and paper sacks are far from being “single use.” The plastic ones can be used over and over for months before they wear out. When they won’t carry groceries, they become litter bags. Eventually we recycle them. Paper bags also last a long time, if they don’t get wet. There is no excuse to throw bags away after only one use. People in the past probably would have paid well for such useful containers.

Second, it’s not a “terrifying task” to carry groceries home in a reusable bag.

People have brought their own containers to market for centuries. We have been doing it almost since we moved here in 1966.

Third, you don’t have to buy a cloth bag. Cardboard boxes work very well to carry groceries, especially heavy, tippy items like milk cartons.

Even if the environmental cost of making one plastic bag is less than that for one cloth bag, the serious costs of plastic bags come after they’re thrown away, especially when they end up in the ocean. The cost of making the cloth bag is amortized over many years.

Using a cloth bag “173 times” would take only about a year and a half (at twice a week).

Any of these containers can be reused for more than just groceries. Take them to Kmart, drugstores, etc. If we all did, we’d save a lot of wear and tear on the environment and landfills. And bread bags work well for fruits and vegetables.

It’s not “plastic vs. paper.” It’s reuse vs. throw away.

Shadows and Fog You were a strange boy in the presence of men who wanted not much more than to understand who suffered the blindness of the shadows and fog and came out on the other side another kind of gypsy country another strange and feral wood the call of the North shore was aching in his dreams until the moment he stepped bare foot upon his promise land — Marley Goldman

Green Mistake Editor: I’m writing in response to Kathy Berry’s and Dana Silvernale’s letters (“Jolly Greens,” Oct. 11) urging people to vote for Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate for president. I believe in Stein’s platform and if we had ranked choice voting, she would be my first choice. The Green Party is circulating a petition to adopt this voting format because, as its website states, it can “eliminate the ‘spoiler effect’ in which candidates with similar views split their vote, thus electing someone who doesn’t represent any of their views.” I eagerly signed the petition. But we don’t operate under that system yet. Thus my concern that progressives in this country will help elect Romney/Ryan by voting for a thirdparty candidate or sitting out the election entirely.

Two venerable progressives share my concern. Daniel Ellsberg, although profoundly disappointed in Obama (as I am) warns that a Romney/Ryan administration “would be much worse, even catastrophically worse” on crucial issues like “attacking Iran, Supreme Court appointments, the economy, women’s reproductive rights, health coverage, safety net, climate change, green energy, the environment.”

It’s a facile and dangerous oversimplification to say there’s no real difference between Romney and Obama or Republicans and Democrats. Ellsberg calls this thinking “absurd.” He quotes Noam Chomsky: “The Republican organization today is extremely dangerous, not just to this country, but the world.” Both men have told interviewers that if they lived in a swing state, they’d vote against Romney/ Ryan, “which means voting for Obama.”

We’ve been down this road before. In 2000, Ralph Nader was “the spoiler.”

Green Party members then were saying there was no difference between Bush and Gore. After the Iraq war was well under way, a Green Party member asked me if I could guarantee that Gore would not have invaded Iraq.

My answer was yes.

Margy Emerson, Arcata

Editor: Thanks for the coverage of Prop. 37 (“The $38 Million Label,” Oct. 11). It’s an extremely important subject that gets too little attention from the press.

Unfortunately, the coverage genetic engineering does get in the media is often riddled with factual errors and misinterpretations of the science. It’s not unique in this. Most press reports on scientific subjects are pretty bad, because it’s hard to convey real science in the simple language and few words that a newspaper article or TV news report require.

I thought your article was pretty good overall. There’s a deeper and much more insidious problem with the body of scientific research on GE products. Even if all studies involving GE seeds, organisms or foods were accurately reported in the popular press, we would still have this problem. The problem is that the companies that own GE seeds refuse to allow any independent scientists to study their products without their express permission. Needless to say, permission is never given for studies the companies think might make them look bad! Only a few, scattered studies by regulators (outside the U.S.) and scientists willing to take serious legal and career-related risks have been truly independent. This means that the body of research that currently exists on GE products is thoroughly biased in a way that’s unlike any other area of science today.

If you’re like me, you don’t put too much stock in this industry-controlled research, and you’d rather make your own decisions and control your own risks. In other words, you support labeling!

I saw your article “Watching Ward 2” (Oct. 11). This is what I was thinking: Something is smelling a little bad in Eureka. Notice the signs from Rex Bohn, all made up and expensive looking, and so many of them! Now it’s happening the same way in Eureka with Joe Bonino and his perfect signs.

Schools Need You

Editor: Thanks for covering the Proposition 30 and 38 initiatives (“Propping up Schools,” Oct. 4). I would like to add my thoughts to the discussion.

Prop. 38 would also increase the personal income tax rate on all but the lowest bracket through 2024.

All new revenues from Prop. 38 would be dedicated to K-12 except during 2016-17, when 30 percent would be allocated for state debt-service costs. And most importantly, within Prop. 38, no funds are dedicated to higher education.

In contrast, Prop. 30 provides essential funds for higher education. If Prop. 30 fails, there will be even further cuts to the CSU and UC system, which are both already substantially impacted by budget reductions. Specifically for the UC system, as structured in 2012-13 state budget, there will be an additional $250 million “trigger” cut, plus a shortfall of $125.4 million from a negotiated tuition freeze, for a total deficit of $375.4 million. While not everyone has or will have a child looking to the CSU and UC system for higher education, it is important to remember that UC has also been serving our local community since 1913 through the UC Cooperative Extension system and its programs: 4-H youth development, master gardener, localized education and research on a broad range of agriculture and natural resource topics, among others. If Prop. 30 fails, impacts will be felt everywhere in UC. However, if it passes, most of us will only experience a quarter cent increase in sales tax for the next four years, but together we will help maintain our world-renowned public university system and will be able to provide educational opportunities for the next generation.

As a parent I do not support Prop. 38. I ask you to consider the merits of Prop. 30 and join me in a yes vote.

Yana Valachovic, Bayside

Editor: Thank you NCJ for your very well done comparison of Props. 30 and 38. I’d like to offer my two cents on two propositions on the ballot. As a teacher, mother and California citizen, I implore voters to use economic sense when making important election decisions. As an economics teacher, I teach students about the link between a country’s “human capital” — the skills, knowledge and experience that a population possesses — and economic growth. Why are some countries rich while others are poor? According to economists Eric Hanushek of Stanford’s Hoover Institution and Dean Jamison of UCSF, there’s “evidence of a clear, strong

8 North Coast Journal • Thursday, OCT. 25, 2012 • northcoastjournal.com

relationship between cognitive skills and economic growth.” They say, “A highly skilled work force can raise economic growth by about two-thirds of a percentage point annually.” Please consider this. If Prop. 30 fails, education will be cut $6 billion. Schools in our state rank an abysmal 47th nationally in per pupil spending! We cannot maintain our standard of living if we continue to axe school funding. Vote yes on 30.

Proposition 32 will also affect California’s economic future. If Prop. 32 passes, corporate interests will have more influence on policymakers while middle class public employees will be silenced. Prop. 32 is billed as “cutting the money tie between special interests and career politicians,” but is in fact a sham, funded by the very people who it exempts! In the age of Citizens United, billionaires don’t need more influence over our policies.

Don’t let pro 32/anti 30 PACS use their “$11 million in secret money,” the largest in California political history (Associated Press reported in the TimesStandard, Oct. 20), prevail! Please vote for economic growth by supporting education and the middle class.

Vote yes on 30 and no on 32.

Jennifer Dean-Mervinsky, Arcata

Vote for Life

Editor: Thank you for the excellent explanation of Propositions 30 and 38. However I wonder if your readership understands the graver issues that Prop. 34 addresses?

The Buddhist Peace Fellowship (Humboldt Chapter) strongly endorses Prop. 34 as a way to end the death penalty in California and probably reduce solitary confinement housing.

Currently in California there are 709 men and 19 women on Death Row. The maintenance of the death penalty consumes $1 billion every five years due to the cost of solitary confinement and extra access to the legal system, with trials and appeal processes that average 25 years. It costs $90,000 more per prisoner per year to house inmates on Death Row instead of with the rest of the prison population. Even legislation that proposes to speed up the processing of Death Row inmates would cost taxpayers $95 million, according to separate reports by Loyola Law school professor Paula Mitchell and the California Commission of the Fair Administration of Justice.

Apart from these overwhelming financial considerations there is the moral dilemma of society justifying revenge murders and “sanctioned torture” by endorsing the death penalty and long-term solitary confinement, respectively. A recent report by Amnesty International said the conditions in the SHU (Secure Housing Units) such as those in Pelican Bay and the similar AC (Adjustment Centers) such as those at San Quentin were “breaching international standards on humane treatment.” Also, ending the death penalty would bring California in line with the vast majority of developed nations who have already ended this horrific practice and would set a precedent for the other 32 states that still allow it.

Please support ending the Death Penalty in California and vote yes on Prop. 34 on Tuesday, Nov. 6.

Two Deaths, Many Questions

Top judge, defense attorney won’t say why, or how often, Humboldt releases prison-bound inmates

By Carrie Peyton Dahlberg newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

S

corched by the attention that followed a slaying in Hoopa and a fatal hit-and-run crash, Humboldt County prosecutors have begun opposing every single request for release under a legal deal called a Cruz waiver.

The temporary stance, which could last a few weeks, is aimed at giving prosecutors time to decide whether to set new standards for acquiescing to such releases, said District Attorney Paul Gallegos.

No matter what the prosecutor wants, in most cases it’s up to a judge to decide whether to release a criminal who has already admitted guilt as part of a plea bargain. Presiding Judge Bruce Watson has declined repeated requests from the Journal to answer questions about Cruz waivers, pre-sentencing releases, plea agreements or any other court policies, including how the DA’s temporary stand is affecting the criminal courts.

Gallegos’ new policy comes as a man named Jason Anthony Warren sits in San Quentin State Prison, serving time for two crimes after failing to keep his end of a bargain that would have reduced that to just one.

Warren, 28, is a “person of interest” in the killing of Dorothy Ulrich in Hoopa, and the Sept. 27 crash that sent a Kia into three joggers, killing Suzanne Seemann, an HSU geography lecturer, and severely injuring two others (“Senseless Tragedy,” Oct. 4).

He hasn’t been charged in either crime.

But no one disagrees that he was out of custody at the time of both deaths only because he didn’t show up in court, as promised, on Sept. 7.

Warren, who had a juvenile record and had already served prison time as an adult

for being a felon in possession of a weapon, was up in Hoopa in March when he had some kind of confrontation, according to court records.

From there it’s murky.

An alleged victim initially told Hoopa police that Warren robbed him of $20 at knifepoint and tried to stab him when he wouldn’t hand over the keys to his car. On top of that, two other people said Warren pointed a gun at them in Ray’s Food Place.

Not so, Warren’s attorney said in court filings. There was no robbery, just an angry confrontation when Warren had words with a man who had texted his wife. And the two people who reportedly saw the gun at Ray’s were friends of the texter. And even so one of them later said he didn’t see any gun; it was just an argument.

While all this was coming out, Warren was in Humboldt County jail, awaiting trial on charges of second degree robbery, assault with a deadly weapon and possession of a firearm by a felon, plus a bunch of enhancements that could have increased his prison time.

Somewhere along the way, Gallegos said on the phone last week, prosecutors realized that the only charge they’d be likely to make stick at trial was the felon in possession of a firearm.

From that perspective, the plea deal saved taxpayers the trouble and expense of a trial, and it avoided any risk of losing. Warren pleaded guilty on Aug. 24 to possession of the weapon, with the understanding that that would include an enhancement that would double his sentence.

If both sides had agreed to it, the plea deal could have stopped right there, and

Warren could have stayed in jail until his formal sentencing.

The jail wasn’t particularly crowded the day Warren pleaded. The daily census emailed to the courts that morning showed 369 inmates, down from 384 at the beginning of the work week and comfortably below the 391 maximum capacity.

But Warren or his attorney, Glenn Brown, apparently didn’t want Warren to stay in custody until sentencing. So the plea bargain got more complicated. Warren also pleaded guilty to assault with a deadly weapon, with the understanding that if he showed up as promised on Sept. 7, that charge would go away. If he didn’t show up, he’d be convicted of both crimes and he’d have a first “strike,” a step down the path toward lifetime incarceration. His sentence would increase from six years to just over nine years.

With such serious consequences hanging over Warren’s head, said District Attorney Gallegos, “to us it was ‘Wow, only a fool would not show up’” for sentencing.

Gallegos is one of the few people talking freely about the case. The echoing silence of other key players makes it virtually impossible to understand the context for the deal or how such waivers are commonly handled

by Humboldt County courts.

Have lots of criminals been getting out on Cruz waivers after pleading guilty? Or not so many? Are Cruz waiver releases only commonplace for people facing probation, who wouldn’t be looking at more time behind bars? Was the release of a man facing years in prison a standard practice or an aberration?

It turns out, these are not easy questions to answer by looking anywhere else in California, because there are so many regional differences.

“Almost anything associated with sentencing varies from county to county,” said Lisa Rodriguez, a San Diego County deputy district attorney who has taught seminars on sentencing.

Both Scott Thorpe, chief executive officer for the California District Attorneys Association, and Gabriel Chin, a professor of law at UC Davis, concurred.

Because prosecutors, defense lawyers and judges in any given county see each other over and over, they tend to evolve a usual way of doing things, all three said. What’s normal in one county might be atypical in another.

Gallegos’ office files around 8,000 cases year, and he estimates that 90 to 95 percent of them end with some kind of plea bargain.

Gallegos said he has no idea how many of those include some kind of pre-sentencing release after a guilty plea.

Public Defender Kevin Robinson, whose office had a conflict and so didn’t defend Warren, said that his office almost always

requests such releases when the expected sentence is probation or when the client asks for one. But when the client is facing a prison sentence, Robinson said, he doesn’t necessarily expect the court to grant the request.

He said he couldn’t recall — even in the roughest terms like more than half the time or less than half — how often prosecutors oppose these releases or judges reject them.

The judge who approved Warren’s plea deal and release, Timothy P. Cissna, declined to speak either about this case or about general Humboldt County Superior Court procedures.

Glenn Brown, the attorney who Humboldt County pays to defend indigent people when the public defender has a conflict, represented Jason Warren and negotiated his plea bargain. Why did Brown ask for this particular release? Brown has no comment, on this or anything else. He failed to return six phone calls from the Journal over three business days last week, and did not respond to a business card left at his office. When the Journal called again on Monday, the seventh call was finally returned — Brown had staffer phone back to say he won’t give an interview or answer a single question on any subject.

Zack Curtis, the deputy district attorney who prosecuted Warren, said he can’t remember what rationale, if any, Brown offered for seeking the release.

“It was something that came up on the eve of trial, so it was very much in the heat of battle,” Curtis said in a phone interview.

And there’s nothing in writing explaining it.

“This isn’t like a transactional practice where you throw down everything in writing. You can’t do that in criminal law. The caseload is too huge. You have to make snap judgments, and you do things as you go along.”

For the prosecution, “just looking at it analytically, the decision was within the bounds of reason. It was what I would call a reasonable decision.”

Curtis paused. He wanted to stress, again, that Warren hasn’t been charged with anything, and even if he had, he’s still innocent unless proven guilty. But at a minimum he definitely did not show up on Sept. 7 for sentencing.

And in that context, Curtis said, “I took a chance on him and it failed.”

By the end of September, two women were dead, under circumstances that are still being investigated. Gallegos said his deputy was shaken.

“I’ve told him, ‘You did not kill these people,’” Gallegos said. “I can’t find fault with Zack. … I don’t find fault with his decisionmaking process.”

Of course, Zack Curtis wasn’t the final decision maker. Judge Timothy Cissna was.

And he’s among the many who just aren’t talking. ●

Reason No. 4,172 You Don’t Live in Santa Rosa Ah, Humboldt harmoniousness...

If you needed another reminder of the immense talent we’re hoarding here behind the Redwood Curtain, give a click or seven to videographer Chuck Johnson’s recent Humboldt Live Sessions videos. For the last month or so, Johnson has been prolifically producing and uploading beautifully shot performances by local musical standouts.

Bonus: the clips are shot in scenic, quirky Humboldt locales — for example, folk/punk group Gunsafe wails in the Ferndale Cemetery, guitar charmer Todd Krider finds Nirvana in the ruins behind Bayshore Mall and singer/ songwriter Caitlin Jemma commits armed robbery at Three Corners Market.

Johnson, the man behind the lens, has been a musician and photographer for over 30 years. After purchasing his most recent camera, he started filming music at local festivals but wanted to take it a step further.

“Tons of people were already photographing and taking video at these same events,” Johnson said via email. “I wanted something more personal that everyone else wasn’t already uploading to YouTube with their cell phones.”

So the Humboldt Live Sessions were born.

Johnson imposes a few rules on himself for the clips: One continuous camera shot. No microphones blocking faces. Good music.

Unique locations.

Hey, why hasn’t your band been Humboldt Live Session-ed yet? Chuck says he’s still looking for subjects.

“I want to keep this going as long as there are performers and locations to put in front of my camera.”

Sleaze Starts Sizzlin’ Does Humboldt know its sleaze, or what?

The ink was barely dry on our Sleazy Campaign Ad contest when the first contender was dropped off at our office, courtesy of Brian Connors of Eureka. “Sacramento is Broken,” it warns, but “We can Fix It.” That would be by voting down the extra money Gov. Brown is pleading for to stop huge “trigger” cuts, and by voting to near-muzzle unions.

Brian was at work when we got back in touch, so he couldn’t take time to explain all the sleazy points he saw in this four-page mailer. But he is hardly alone in calling out some of the lies being repeated by something called the Small Business Action Committee.

Check out this Sacramento Bee editorial, which begins: “Supporters of Proposition 32 claim that their campaign finance initiative ‘cuts the money tie between special interests and politicians.’ It’s a lie. And an $11 million donation from a shadowy Arizona nonprofit illustrates why.

Proposition 32 would ban unions and corporations from using automatic paycheck deductions to raise money for political purposes. While that might sound like a balanced way to blunt big-money politics, this initiative would hit labor unions disproportionately. Corporate interests are increasingly dumping money into independent expenditure campaigns, which Proposition 32 would not touch. Nor would Proposition 32 stop scam nonprofits from influencing elections.

Indeed, this initiative is now the beneficiary of one.”

And then there’s this little bit of factchecking from the San Jose Mercury News, which tackles a TV ad but debunks the same phony claim this mailer makes about Proposition 30: “Reality Check: Anti-Prop. 30 ad is misleading because it implies it won’t help schools.” ●

Cops for Plaza Halloween The art of McKinley climbing is in serious jeopardy.

Arcata Plaza frequenters will recall the increased law enforcement presence this past New Year’s Eve when compared with previous years. Expect more of that. A press release issued today by the Arcata Police Department indicates that that approach to curbing the chaos will now extend to Halloween.

It said in part: “Due to the damage and criminal misconduct that occurred on the Arcata Plaza last Halloween, the Arcata Police Department has joined with other local law enforcement agencies to significantly increase police presence on the Plaza during Halloween.”

And just to make everything clear: “In order to prevent graffiti vandalism, public urination, indecent exposure, and the illegal climbing of the McKinley statue, the center of the Plaza will be cordoned off.

Entry into the center area will be strictly prohibited. The consumption of alcohol and the possession of glass containers are prohibited and will result in citation or arrest. The discharging of fireworks in or near a crowd of people is a felony offense and will result in immediate arrest. All laws will be strictly enforced.”

The full release is on our website. ● BEER / BY ANDREW GOFF / OCT. 16, 2:02 P.M.

‘Don’t Bother Coming In’ Why is the county paying employees hundreds of thousands of dollars to stay home?

By Ryan Burns

I

n 2011 and the first half of 2012, Humboldt County spent more than $700,000 on salaries and benefits for people who weren’t coming to work — they were on paid administrative leave. Department heads order these leaves to protect employee rights while an investigation is conducted. That can happen for a variety of reasons: a sheriff’s deputy involved in a shooting, a manager accused of sexual harassment or a victim of alleged misconduct by fellow employees, for example.

Sometimes the accusations have merit; other times they’re baseless. And not every employee placed on investigative leave is suspected of wrongdoing. But before any employee can be disciplined, a thorough investigation must be conducted, during which employees get their paychecks and accrue benefits as usual. This is the law for public employees in California, and the system works the same way in every county.

But not every county puts as many people on leave — or keeps them there for as long — as Humboldt County has over the past two years.

During the 18 months from the start of last year through June 30 of this year, Humboldt placed two dozen workers on paid administrative leave for two weeks or longer — some of them much longer. All but four of those 24 were on leave for more than three months.

If you look beyond that 18-month window you’ll find some truly extended leaves. Three women employed in the county’s social services department haven’t gone to work since December 2011, though that hasn’t kept them from earning, cumulatively, nearly $100,000 in salaries and benefits.

Another employee, a government aid eligibility worker named Dawn Schultheis Musselman, was paid to stay home for more than two years.

Actually, “stay home” isn’t quite accurate. “I was out partying, having a good time,” she told the Journal. Before her leave ended, Musselman had moved with her two sons to San Diego, where she

now lives and collects unemployment. Her last paycheck arrived in March, by which time she’d collected $51.499.84 in salary plus nearly $22,000 worth of benefits without showing up for a single day of work.

All this at a time when the county is struggling under major budget constraints — cutting positions, maintaining hiring freezes and denying raises to minimum-wage workers. A Humboldt County official argues that these long leaves are

the inevitable result of some difficult balancing acts — discipline versus due process; union demands versus shrinking budgets; the cost of thorough investigations versus the cost of sloppy, inconclusive ones. But former employees and their union rep say the county is wasting their time, and our money.

Much of the information in this story was the result of a Public Records Act request, which at first was granted only partially. County staff initially refused to release the names of almost everyone who’d been placed on administrative leave.

The county’s legal counsel argued that releasing those names “would constitute an unwarranted invasion of privacy.” Only after the Journal hired an attorney to explain state law did the county relent. California’s Supreme Court holds that names and salaries of public employees are public information, part of the state’s “strong public policy supporting transparency in government.”

In that spirit of transparency, we take a closer look at the people and departments most affected by these long absences, and the process that’s causing them.

with you,” Koopman recalled in a recent interview.

Her coworker and friend, Dawn Shultheis Musselman, an eligibility worker 2, was placed on leave that same morning.

Musselman said she was called into her boss’s office, informed that she was being placed on leave and ushered out of the building. “I couldn’t even go back to my desk,” she said.

Neither woman knew why they were being placed on leave, and they didn’t hear anything for weeks, they said. Eventually they learned that Koopman was being accused of interfering with the interview of a man who lived with her. He’d come in to apply for social services and, during an intake interview being conducted by Musselman, Koopman had emerged from her office — just to say hi, she said, though the county was accusing her of preferential treatment. Both women denied any wrongdoing. They looked to their union representative to handle negotiations with the county.

The county hired an outside investigator named Cindy Manos who took months to contact the women, they said. After an interview with Koopman, it emerged that employManos had a conflict of interest in the case. ees placed on leave, three quarters were, (She knew Koopman’s ex-boyfriend, who or remain, employed in the Health and had a tangential connection to the case.)

continued from page 13 Diane Davis delivered her completed investigation of Koopman to the county on Jan. 4, 2011, 11 months after Koopman had been placed on leave. Davis submitted a three-ring binder containing a 35-page report along with transcripts of interviews with 15 of Koopman’s coworkers. This might seem like an exhaustive amount of information, yet Koopman wasn’t contacted for another four months.

On May 3, Health and Human Services Director Phillip Crandall sent her a letter notifying her that he intended to fire her for committing fraud. She vehemently denied the allegations and considered appealing her case to the state but ultimately decided that the fight wasn’t worth the hassle and anxiety, she said. She resigned on May 27, one year, three months and three weeks since she’d last been to work.

In that time she made more than $73,000 in salary and benefits. Since resigning she’s been collecting unemployment.

Musselman’s case is even more confounding. The county didn’t resolve her investigation until the following October.

According to both Musselman and Lawlor, the county told her to come back to work. But by that point, she’d decided that she didn’t really want to work for the county anymore. And the county didn’t really want her back, either, she said. During her five-year employment she’d filed grievances against a couple of coworkers and didn’t get along with all of her superiors. As she put it, “There was a handful of us at work that weren’t butt-kissers, and I’m one of them.”

So what did she do? She talked turkey — tried to get the county to keep paying her salary in exchange for not coming back to work. “I told ’em to pay me for a year. They said, ‘You’re crazy.’ They came back with two months, and then we bartered. The final decision was five months.”

Musselman forwarded the Journal a copy of the settlement agreement between AFSCME (her union) and the county. The agreement, which was emailed to

Musselman still can’t believe the county agreed to it. “They continued to pay me, full pay, for an additional five months,” she marveled. By the end of her two-plus years on leave she’d collected more than $127,000 in salary and benefits.

The county’s investigations into Koopman

and Musselman cost an additional $14,684, bringing the total taxpayer-funded expense of the duo’s time off to more than $200,000.

continued from previous page ployee has a right to know what’s being alleged, confront his or her accusers and respond to the charges.

“The only way to protect the legal rights of the county as well as the employee is to place ’em on paid administrative leave, because that’s not disciplinary,” Fulks explained.

Next, the county has to investigate, either with its own staff or, increasingly, due to staffing cuts, by hiring an outside investigator.

If wrongdoing is discovered then the county has to build a solid case against the employee, which can get complicated, Fulks said. Investigations rarely lead where he expects them to. “It’s very common that you start an investigation into employee A, and then you find you’re not only talking about employee A but you’re talking about employee B, C, D and F. Or other conduct comes out.”

Once an employee has been disciplined, he or she has five days to appeal, which works like this: Each side, the employer and the union, selects a representative. Those representatives choose from a list of five possible arbitrators provided by the State Mediation and Conciliation Service. The arbitrator then considers the evidence and makes a binding decision.

When Fulks was first hired by the county in June 2010, at least three disciplinary actions were pending, he said.

Two of those would have been Musselman’s and Koopman’s. Fulks suggested that the turnover in his position (his predecessor was only there for a few months), could have been partly responsible for their long leaves.

But he also feels that it has gotten progressively more difficult for employers to win in the arbitration process. He characterized the county’s position as similar to prosecutors building a court case: A lot of evidence must be gathered.

“That’s what takes time,” he said. Every time the county disciplines an employee it must cite what rules were broken, outline the behavior that violated those rules and provide evidence. Arbitrators, he said, are supposed to side with whichever party has a preponderance of evidence in its favor, but in his opinion they treat

the process more like a criminal hearing, where even a reasonable doubt is enough to acquit. “They hold us to a standard that is not reasonable.”

Lawlor, the union rep, laughed when she heard that. “It’s always weighted in management’s favor,” she countered.

Ultimately, Fulks said that without going into detail on individual investigations, he couldn’t explain why Humboldt County has been placing more people on leave, and leaving them there longer, than other counties with similar populations.

Here’s the data we tracked down that revealed that fact. According to the U.S. Census, Humboldt County’s 2010 population was 134,623. Among the 24 administrative leaves of two weeks or more last year and the first half of this year, the average lasted more than seven months. Compare that to the following counties: In Sutter County (population 94,737), just five people were placed on leave during the same timeframe. The average lasted 26 calendar days; the longest, 39 days. When told that Humboldt County had employees out for more than a year, Sutter County Personnel Assistant Christine Luigard was taken aback. “With pay?” she asked. “Oh, no, that’s way too long.”

Nevada County (population 98,764) placed almost as many people on leaves of two weeks or longer (20) as Humboldt, but only one was kept off work for more than three months. The average was less than eight weeks.

Kings County (population 152,982) placed 15 workers on leave for two weeks or more, with the average lasting less than eight weeks.

And Napa County (population 136,484) placed just six employees on leaves of two weeks or more, with the average lasting just over three weeks. Nonetheless, Napa County Human Resources Director Suzanne Mason took Humboldt County’s statistics in stride, saying it’s not possible to determine what’s normal and what’s unreasonable without knowing more about the individual cases. When an employee is charged with a crime, for example, the employer often has to wait for the

criminal justice process. Some investigations are more complex than others, and when staff is conducting the investigation it usually takes longer. “There are so many variables,” Mason said. “I don’t know how you can make a generalization.”

With that in mind, let’s

look at a few other examples here in Humboldt County. Several did involve criminal charges, including the case of Humboldt County Sheriff’s Deputy Joseph Marsh. On the Fourth of July 2010, Marsh enlisted the help of a friend’s 10-year-old daughter to hold an illegal Roman candle firework. It exploded in their hands, injuring Marsh and blowing off the fingers on the girl’s right hand, leaving just the pinkie.

After the incident, Marsh was kept on paid administrative leave for more than 6½ months, costing taxpayers $62,480. He pleaded no contest to misdemeanor child endangerment last September and is no longer employed with the county.

Last January, the Humboldt County Drug Task Force and California Department of Justice were wrapping up a major marijuana trafficking investigation. They’d been targeting a Eureka couple named Brandon and Christina Savio. On Jan. 2, they pulled Brandon over near Benbow and arrested him.

Meanwhile, agents monitoring the Savios’ Eureka house saw a neighbor walk in and out several times, hauling out an armload with each trip. This neighbor proved to be Gordon Glynn, then a deputy public guardian in the county’s Health and Human Services Department. His wife, Mari, was a mental health case manager in the same department. Officers searched their house and discovered that the Glynns, who’d been tipped off to Brandon Savio’s arrest by his wife, were hiding some of their neighbors’ belongings — two pounds of processed marijuana, four firearms and a large sum of money, according to a press release issued

the following day. Officers also found that the Glynns had a growing operation of their own, with more than 500 marijuana plants, processed bud, packing materials, more firearms and more money.

The Glynns were placed on administrative leave the following Monday. They remained on paid leave for nine months and a week, earning more than $100,000 in salaries and benefits. Four months after their leaves ended, Gordon Glynn was sentenced to two years’ probation and the charges against Mari Glynn were dismissed. Neither is currently employed by the county.

Other cases remain a mystery. Humboldt County Airport Manager Jacquelyn Hulsey, for example, was placed on administrative leave from Oct. 3, 2011, through Jan. 28, 2012, and despite numerous inquiries the Journal couldn’t find out why (“Where’s the Airport Manager,” Dec. 22, 2011). Hulsey’s job performance has been criticized by former employees, business leaders and former members of the county’s Aviation Advisory Committee.

Following an investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board blamed a miscommunication between Hulsey and one of her employees for causing a 12-hour delay in search-andrescue efforts after a plane crashed off the coast of Trinidad in March 2009. The bodies of the two men on board that plane were never recovered (“The Plane That Wasn’t There,” Dec. 17, 2009).

Hulsey earned $32,770 in salary and benefits while on leave. She remains employed with the county.

As mentioned above, not everyone who has been placed on leave is suspected of misconduct. Last year, Jeannie Duncan, a legal business manager in the District Attorney’s Office, filed a claim for damages against the county, alleging that she was the victim of retaliation after complaining of sexual harassment and continued on next page

Ultimately, Fulks said that without going into detail on individual investigations, he couldn’t explain why Humboldt County has been placing more people on leave, and leaving them there longer, than other counties with similar populations.

continued from previous page office misconduct, including “unlawful polygraph practices” and improper use of office resources and employee time for DA Paul Gallegos’ re-election campaign.

The county has yet to resolve Duncan’s claims. She’s been on leave for almost a year and a half, collecting $134,000 in salary and benefits.

No one the Journal spoke with could explain why the social services office has been placing more employees on leave than any other in the county. We sent an email through a county public information officer asking if Katherine Young, the county’s director of social services, could explain why 42 percent of employees placed on leave came from her branch.

She sent a reply through the same public information officer, saying only, “Careful adherence to the terms of the MOU,” referring to the memorandum of understanding that dictates contract conditions that the county has to follow. But since the MOU applies to all county departments, this doesn’t really answer the question. We also asked to speak with DHHS Director Phillip Crandall but were referred back to Dan Fulks, the HR director.

Fulks said that the appeal process for disciplinary actions is different for employees in social services and child support services, under rules that apply statewide. Rather than being referred to an arbitrator, appeals from these two groups of employees are sent to an administrative law judge from the state’s department of personnel, aka CalHR. Fulks actually prefers dealing with administrative law judges. “I have much more objective decisions come from the ALJs,” he said.

He didn’t indicate that this process should take any longer than arbitration.

On Dec. 13, 2011, three social services employees — former colleagues of Koopman and Musselman — were placed on administrative leave. One of them was

18 North Coast Journal • Thursday, Oct. 25, 2012 • northcoastjournal.com

office assistant Shannon Noonan, who, six months later, was arrested at her home by the Eureka Police Department. Officers were responding to reports that she was selling methamphetamine, and a search of the house turned up an ounce of crystal meth hidden in Noonan’s bedroom as well as bags and digital gram scales, according to the EPD. Koopman and Musselman heard through the grapevine about Noonan’s arrest. Neither was exactly friends with Noonan (Musselman said Noonan once made false allegations against her). They knew she’d been on administrative leave, and they were curious to see what happened next, as were their friends. “Everybody was like, ‘Well, it’s a slam dunk.

They’ve got to fire her now,’” Koopman recalled. But the county didn’t fire her.

Not yet, anyway. She remains on leave, along with the two coworkers who were sent home the same day. “She’s still getting paid,” Koopman remarked. It has been four months since her arrest.

Lawlor, the union rep, said she appreciates that social services employees deal with sensitive issues like child protection and welfare, which makes it all the more important to ensure that these workers are trustworthy and competent. The county, she said, has “an obligation to make sure that all of the actions of the workers are above board. But it shouldn’t take ’em a year to do it.”

The money that the county spent paying people not to work during the 18-month stretch we examined — $706,106.23 — could have paid the salaries of 10 fulltime sheriff’s deputies over the same time period. Or seven public health nurses. Or 17 child care workers.

Last month, the county refused to grant a raise of 75 cents per hour to local in-home support services workers, who currently make minimum wage ($8 per

hour) and receive no benefits, insurance, pension or sick time while caring for the community’s elderly, disabled and poor.

County officials, including DHHS Director Crandall, said the county was under too much financial pressure to grant the raise, which, according to the county’s own estimates, would cost $245,025 annually. If the county granted the workers’ request for another raise the following year — to $9.50 per hour — it would cost $490,051 annually. An independent factfinding report looked into the matter and concluded that “the County clearly has the ability to pay the modest increases sought.” But in a closed session, the Board of Supervisors rejected the raise anyway.

If you do the math you’ll see that, for less than the county spent paying a few employees not to work, it could have given a raise of at least a dollar per hour to all 1,450 of the county’s in-home support services workers, who currently make sub-poverty wages.

But according to Fulks, this is just the way the system works. A report of wrongdoing comes in, and the county has a legal obligation to look into it. That takes time.

“When I see a violation of the rules, I’m going to move forward and investigate it,” he said. “And the reason I do that is to protect the taxpayers’ dollars.”

But what about Koopman and Musselman, whose case dragged on for years and cost taxpayers $200,000? “Sounds like an important case then, doesn’t it?” he responded. Asked to elaborate, he just repeated himself. “Sounds like an important case then, doesn’t it?”

So, are huge expenses inevitable? “I would love to be able to tell you, ‘No, it’s not inevitable,’” Fulks said. “But the answer, I think, [is that] there will be a certain amount of paid administrative leaves that go into the future.”

Especially here in Humboldt County. l

Stand Up and Paddle

By Amy Cirincione

outdoors@northcoastjournal.com

I

t’s raining again. After a glorious September and early October, the fog is rolling in and the days of peeka-boo sunshine are back. For me, this means my running season is over, and my climbing is going mostly indoors. But there are still a few ways to enjoy Humboldt that do not include whining about the weather. Stand-up paddle boarding is my current favorite. I love being close to the water, controlling my speed as I glide quietly across the surface. I also love that the learning curve is gentle.

Stand-up paddle boarding emerged in the 1950s as a hobby for Waikiki beach boys, men who made their living teaching surfing and canoeing to tourists. The beach boys stood on long boards and used outrigger paddles to reach distant surf break, and to maneuver through small waves during beginner surf lessons.

Modern day paddle boarding was popularized in the 2000s by Laird Hamilton, Dave Kalama and other pro surfers in Hawaii. They were looking for a way to stay in shape when the surf was low, and the “retro” style of paddle boarding appealed to them. In the last few years, stand-up paddle boarding has made its way behind the redwood curtain, and the sport is perfectly suited for our waters.

Stand-up paddle boarding is not a difficult sport to learn, and it’s a fantastic way to explore the bays and lagoons of Humboldt. All you really need is a decent sense of balance in order to stand on the board. If you’re lacking even in that department, you can always paddle from

your knees and gradually work your way up to the “stand up” part. The paddling itself doesn’t require much strength, just a willingness to sink into the hips and pull the long paddle through the water using not just your arms but the strength in your back and abdominal muscles.

You can rent the necessary equipment (board, paddle, wet suit, life jacket) from local outfitters and put in from any of the public docks in Humboldt Bay or from the beaches of Trinidad Bay, Big Lagoon or Mad River Beach (to name a few). Below are brief profiles of my favorite spots. Each has its own unique character and sights, and offers relatively flat water for beginners.

Humboldt Bay (Woodley Island Marina) The easiest place to put in on the bay is from the Woodley Island Marina. The first dock (closest to the parking lot and the entrance to the marina) is for public access and offers the most convenient spot for unloading gear and starting your paddle. From the dock, you can paddle west around the tip of Woodley Island (in the direction of the giant fisherman statue) and then through the waters that separate Woodley and Indian islands.

During the fall, these waters are full of seals, my personal favorite marine mammal. In the spring you can often spot baby seals napping on the beaches of both islands, waiting for their mothers to return from fishing. If you spot a seal, be sure to stay at least 100 feet away to keep from startling it. And don’t be surprised if one or more seem to be following you.

If you set out from the marina about

an hour before high tide, the current will be with you as you paddle out to Indian island. If you take time to explore, you should be ready to return to the marina just as the tide is turning. It’s possible to circumvent Indian Island or paddle through its sloughs, but save those adventures until you’re familiar with both the tide tables and your paddle board skills.

Until then, an out and back will afford you lots of fun wildlife views and a deep appreciation for the bay.

For this trip, you can rent gear at Pacific Outfitters or book a lesson and guided trip from Tim Haywood at All Out SUP (www. alloutsup.com). Tim’s trips and lessons include gear rental, except for wetsuits.

Big Lagoon Big Lagoon is my favorite water in Humboldt. During the summer, I like to run on the spit and then swim in the lagoon, where the waters are just warm enough to make for a non-frigid swimming experience. During the fall, you’re better off on top of the water.

Put in at the county boat ramp. Paddle straight out toward the end of the sand spit. The water is flat and relatively sheltered from wind. You can paddle the entire 3.5 miles to the end of the spit (7 miles round trip), or turn around at any point for a shorter loop. The water is crystal clear during the summer, and then increasingly brackish through the winter.

At some point during the winter, the lagoon waters will breach the spit and drain out. Paddle this route while you can!

If you’re interested in doing more exploring in this area, you can also head up Maple Creek (under the bridge on the right). Depending on how soon you go, there should be enough water in the main channel to paddle about a half mile up this quiet, scenic creek. If you’re very lucky, you’ll even see some otters, my second favorite marine mammal. This is about a three-mile round trip.

For this trip, you can rent gear or book lessons and guided trips from Marna Powell at Kayak Zaks (www.kayakzak.com).

And More If these spots have piqued your interest, there is more exploring to be done.

Trinidad Bay’s waters are still relatively flat, but as you paddle out into the more open water from the beach, the stakes get higher. If you trust your balance, have a good wetsuit and are prepared to swim a bit, it’s time to take the bay.

If you’re interested in smaller water but more wildlife, the Hookton Slough is your best bet. The boat ramp at the slough is a gentle put-in that sets you up to explore the south bay. But be sure to check your tide tables lest you get thoroughly stuck in the mud. l

Raising the Dead Crooked Jades, Fishtank, Nitty Gritty, Bigmouth, Lukas and lots of All Hallows events

By Bob Doran

bobdoran@northcoastjournal.com

H

umboldt is a place where dayto-day fashion statements, say wearing kitty ears and a tutu when you go to the store, make it seem like it could be Halloween year ’round. But toward the end of October the admonition to dress up for seasonal events ramps up. This year, with All Hallows Eve falling on a Wednesday, it’s extended. Watch for zombies.

But first let’s look at some none-Halloween-related music events.

The Arcata Playhouse has back-to-back shows this weekend featuring cuttingedge neo-traditional touring bands. Saturday it’s San Francisco’s Crooked Jades, a band on a self-declared mission “to reinvent old-world music for a modern age, pushing boundaries and blurring categories.” Founders Jeff Kazor and Lisa Berman revive the dark and hypnotic sounds of what Kazor calls “pre-radio music,” aka old time, from a 21st century perspective using the expected guitars, ukes and banjos but adding harmonium and other unusual sounds. The Jade’s latest project/ CD, Bright Land, found the band creating a new old time score for a modern dance piece by the Kate Wear Company.

Sunday, L.A.-based Fishtank Ensemble returns to the Playhouse with more of its “world class world music,” an amalgam defined by its worldly membership. French fiddler Fabrice Martinez and operatrained vocalist Ursula Knudson met Serbian standup bassist Djordje Stijepovic while traveling in Eastern Europe in a real gypsy caravan. Guitarist Doug Smolens adds a touch of flamenco. The title of the ensemble’s album-in-progress, Edge of the World, pretty much defines the Fishtank style.

The SoCal country-folk-rockers The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band were ahead of their time melding old time tunes with rock back in the ’60s. The band convinced country icons including Maybelle Carter, Earl Scruggs, Roy Acuff, Merle Travis and Doc Watson to play on its groundbreaking 1972 album Will the Circle Be Unbroken.

NGDB is still at it and will be at Cher-Ae

Heights Saturday to play a sold out show.

Redwood Jazz Alliance continues its season of modern jazz with Chris Lightcap’s Bigmouth playing Tuesday in HSU’s Fulkerson Recital Hall. In 2011 Chamber Music America awarded Lightcap a “New Jazz Works” commission grant; Bigmouth premiers the new piece at the Earshot Festival in Seattle this weekend, just before coming here. Bassist Lightcap fronts the jazz quintet with Tony Malaby and Anthony Bishop on tenor saxes, keyboardist Matt Mitchell and drummer Ches Smith.

Lukas Nelson will probably always be referred to as Willie’s son, but he’s making a name for himself with his band Promise of The Real, lately playing the late night talk shows (Leno, Letterman, Kimmel) as well as the Bridge School Benefit and Farm Aid. The Trouble opens for Nelson’s Friday night show at Humboldt Brews.

(The Trouble also plays a Halloween show at the Eureka Inn on Wednesday, the real All Hallows Eve, with quirky songwriter John Ludington.)

Speaking of country icon relations, Lucky Tubb, great nephew of Ernest Tubb, plays with his honky tonk country band The Modern Day Troubadors on Saturday night at the Riverwood Inn. (He’s good.)

Six Rivers Brewery has The Pine Box Boys Saturday night playing bloody alt. country murder ballads (seasonally appropriate).

Friday you have an Arcata reggae collision: Ex-locals Synrgy (now based in Ashland) are at the Jambalaya joined by the Hawaiian band Guidance and locals Elephant Dub Band. They’re up against a much bigger show at Arcata Theatre Lounge with Bermudan reggae crossover star Collie Buddz and his trio New Kingston. DJ Selecta Prime opens.

Keyboard wizard Brian “Swiz” Swislow celebrates his birthday Sunday at the Red Fox Tavern (where he’s one of the owners) doing what he loves best: playing music with his friends. Among them: The Speakeasy Saints, Naive Melodies, Vidagua, Moo-Got-2 with Pete Ciotti on drums, DJ Just One and Swizlo’s own Acid Jazz

Experiment with members from a bunch of local bands. It’s not a costume party.

“You do not need to dress up,” says Swiz, “but ties are required for women and men alike; wear your coolest tie!”

With the close ties between Burning Man and EDM, costumes are not unusual at electronica shows like World Famous’ dance concert Thursday at the Arcata Theatre Lounge with Portland soundsmith Eprom (who appropriately records for Frite Nite) plus Slugabed from England, KiloWatts and MikeyDataBlend. On Halloween proper, next Wednesday, World Famous returns to ATL with Salva, owner of Frite Nite, plus Russ Liquid, Clicks and Whistles and Thriftworks. Travis Turner, who says he’d like to divert people from the Arcata Plaza, helped organize an all night afterparty, Dawn of the Bass, at the Arcata Flake Board Plant (4700 West End Road) with a mess of local EDM artists.

Wednesday the 31st, the Red Fox features an ad hoc band, Black Alice, that only plays on Halloween and only plays Alice Cooper and Black Sabbath covers.

The shifting lineup: Terry Henkel from Triple Junction handles lead vocals on the Cooper portion and bashes drums on the Sabbath tunes. Tyler Lusk of Eyes Anonymous plays Alice drums. Martian Bishop from Eyes switches from guitar on Alice songs to lead vocals on Sabbath.

Rico Von Rabenau from Triple Junction and Eyes Anonymous plays guitar and keys throughout. Bassist for both sections is John Murdoch from Speakeasy Saints, Triple Junction, etc. He’s also in Cell, which opens the show. Gruesome theatrics and props: check. Hard rock: double check.

Elsewhere on Wednesday, Humboldt Brews has a Halloween party with looping guitarist/soul singer Zach Deputy. The Jambalaya has Bay Area psych band Monophonics plus DJ Rickshaw.

Jello wrestling and comedy? Why not? Sherae O’Shaughnessy from BadDum-Chh serves as host for Friday’s Jello

Wrestling Halloween Edition at the Red Fox. Sherae is also part of Savage Henry‘s C-U-Last Tuesday Ladies Night (with one dude) at the Jambalya on Tuesday, Oct. 30.

Kate Willet, Stafani Silverman and Matt Lieb are here from S.F. O’Shaughnessy and Sarah Godlin rep Humboldt.

Halloween-themed benefits? Take your pick: The annual Northcoast Environmental Center’s All Species Costume Ball usually happens in conjunction with the North Country Fair, but this year it’s moved to Thursday at the Arcata Playhouse. Come dressed as your favorite plant or animal and dance to music by Sour Mash Hug Band, Kindred Spirits and in demand Missing Link DJs Matt ‘n’ Adam. (M&A also host a sold out one-year anniversary Soul Night Fright Saturday at Humboldt Brews.)

Friday and Saturday at Blue Lake Casino, local Burners present Sea of Flames: Fire for the Arts, a benefit for Coastal Grove Charter School’s parent teacher organization and the F Street Warehouse featuring assorted fire artists — and music. Friday they have Saint John and the Sinners (7 p.m.) and the new Afrojam-funk combo Motherlode (9 p.m.), Saturday it’s funky hip hop by Acufunkture (9 p.m.) followed by EDM from DJ Touch, OnHell, Treemeista, @udiogasm and Alien Lounge.

KMUD’s annual Halloween Boogie at the Mateel has an eclectic array of dance music with three bands up from the Bay Area: the genre-leaping Diego’s Umbrella (mariachi meets African-tinged jamrock), ska veteran Curtis Meacham and his band Monkey, and electro-cumbia combo Candelaria.

Companion Animal Foundation is calling its annual fundraiser Saturday at the Arcata Community Center The Fur Ball, “a Howl-aween Extravaganza.” Food, drink, auctions, raffle, photo booth etc. support a spay/neuter program. Saint John and the Sinners supply the rockin’ music.

There’s a little bit in this week’s calendar about Eureka’s dueling zombie walks, but it does not mention the Red Cross’ Dawn of the Dead-esque Zombie Invasion Preparation disaster fair Saturday noon-6 p.m. at the Bayshore Mall with first-aid demonstrations (useless for zombies) and instructions for making a zombie apocalypse disaster kit (Swiss Army knife, bowling ball?) plus zombie face-painting and fun for kids. That should get you ready for Nocturnum’s Zombie Apocalypse Dance of the Dead Saturday night, promising “a night of blood and brains with some of your favorite deadly DJs fresh from the grave,” specifically Masta Shredda, Deft and MikeyDataBlend. They’re also collecting (cash) donations for the Red Cross blood drive.

Dance, zombies, dance. l

EVENTS

Your Guide to Humboldt Zaaambies The new season of The Walking Dead has arrived, so it’s time to love zombies again. And, in fact, there is more undead activity in HumCo than you might suspect.

We got a call from zombie Angelique Perrott who was a little worried that there could be impending community confusion. It seems that while she was out making the rounds to promote the zombie walk she’s been arranging for several years, she came across a flyer at Halloween City for a separate event that shared the same name — “Zombie Walk,” appropriately — on a different date. D’oh! So, she changed hers — March of the Undead was unborn.

But who’s this other brain connoisseur? The Journal called zombie organizer Joshua Scharfenberg, who said he’s been among the walking dead for three years now. He noted that Perrott had stopped into Halloween City — where he works — and that he’d proposed combining the undead hordes. But both dates were set. No hard feelings. Thus, dual zombie walks.

Whether you think more zombies wandering the streets is a good thing — or not — will determine how you interpret this turn of events. We at the Journal have always supported diversity, healthy growth and picking people’s brains. So this is a good thing. Here are the places to congregate if you enjoy awkward gaits: The 2012 March of the Undead will take place on Tuesday, Oct. 30. Your lifeless body should be at the foot of C Street in Eureka by 5:45 p.m. so that you can wreak good-natured havoc through the streets of Old Town starting at 6 p.m. Brains!

The Zombie Walk to Arts Alive will be held on Saturday, Nov. 3. Drag your corpse to the parking lot of Halloween City (near Jack in the Box) on Broadway around 4 p.m. There will be makeup booths — to make sure your cheeks have that gray glow — music by DJ Touch and a zombie shooting range in some dude’s trailer (you’ve seen it). The march to Old Town begins at 5 p.m. More brains!

Sweet Parenting Like Valentine’s Day and New Year’s Eve, Halloween is one of those misbehaving holidays that doesn’t fall on a convenient three day weekend-enabling date.

Also, reputable employers/schools tend not to give you any time off around it either. You can choose to be bummed by this. Or …

This year, Halloween falls on a Wednesday, which means that the weekend before it is filled with adult Halloween events. But the kids! Those little ghouls and goblins are really luckin’ out this year as the sugary events have been split between Saturday and Wednesday. If you want to be a hero parent, you can just let ’em wear their costume from Friday night ’til Thursday morning.

Reviews

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 4. I don’t really go in for horror movies. I can enjoy one if it’s well made, but those are pretty thin on the ground. Add to that tendency my increasingly fervent dislike of foundfootage movies and you’ll have a pretty clear picture of my bias regarding any sort of Paranormal Activity. To date, circumstances have allowed me to avoid this franchise. I figured the trailer-blitz we’ve weathered for this series had gotten me up to speed. But like all good things, that era has come to an end.

PA4 apparently picks up five years after the last installment (don’t quote me on that), with a possibly possessed lady named Brooke making off with a possibly to-be-possessed infant named Hunter.

Into the lives of an affluent suburban family move an odd young mom and her even odder 6-year old son Robbie. After Robbie’s mom falls ill and goes to the hospital, our unwitting protagonist family takes Robbie in. And so begins the paranormal activity.

We view the action primarily from the point of view of 15-year-old Alex (Kathryn Newton). Or, rather, through her video camera, webcam and iPhone (foundfootage, remember). She’s party to a lot of unexplainable stuff her parents don’t want to hear about, and she has her technosavvy boyfriend, Ben, set up hidden cameras throughout the house to capture evidence. So we get a lot of shots of the living room and the kitchen with nothing going on. Then a chair moves by itself, then a shadowy form moves through the frame, then Alex’s sleeping form is levitated out of her bed.

Pretty elementary scare tactics: The filmmakers spike the mundanity of the goings-on with just enough cheap thrills

to keep us mildly unnerved. To be fair, there are some heart-in-your-throat moments, but they are too few and way too far between to carry the movie. The idea seems to be to distract us with 75 minutes of almost-unbroken boredom, then freak us out by loading all the deaths into the last 20 minutes. The first half of that plan works. Sadly, the movie stays boring and unremarkable all the way to the end. R. 88m.

ALEX CROSS. The best thing about seeing this immediately after Paranormal Activity 4? The latter makes this one look like a masterpiece by comparison.

Tyler Perry takes on the eponymous character, who was created by thriller novelist James Patterson and previously played by Morgan Freeman in Kiss the Girls (1997) and Along Came a Spider (2001). Cross is supposed to be a genius profiler of the criminal mind and a peerless detective. Alex Cross gives no evidence to support either claim. Perry is so affable, so heart-on-his-sleeve that he’s almost impossible to believe as a veteran Detroit cop. He’s got a reputation as the coolest, toughest cop on the street, but he seems more like a big ol’ teddy bear with a Glock. And when he’s called upon to play enraged and out for vengeance, it gets almost laughably bad.

To backpedal a bit, I wouldn’t blame Perry for this debacle. He does the best he can, but he’s too recognizable and kindly to disappear into a part like this.

He was miscast at the start, then misused by director Rob Cohen (The Fast and the Furious, XXX).

Matthew Fox plays Cross’ foil, an expert assassin who’s also no slouch when it comes to charcoal renderings of his victims. He’s listed in the credits as Picasso, so I’ll let the writers involved share some

Field notes of the blame. Here again, weird directing choices derail the performance. Fox seems pretty dedicated to the part, having starved himself to the point of being almost unrecognizable. But his killer plays as an ill-conceived combination of calculating and insane. This ultimately amounts to him yelling and going all googly-eyed, because apparently someone told him that’s what sociopaths do.

The plot concerns a French gazillionaire and some barely thought-out industrial espionage, but it hardly matters. Mishandled action, poor plotting, incongruous performances and a complete lack of verisimilitude about sum it up. PG13. 101m.

Previews

CLOUD ATLAS. Epic mindbender alert!

This film from the creators of The Matrix and Run Lola Run careens through past, present and future, melding romance, sci-fi and action while exploring the connections that bind people through time.

Based on the novel by David Mitchell and starring Tom Hanks, Halle Berry and Jim Broadbent in multiple roles (and prosthetics) apiece. R. 163m.

SILENT HILL: REVELATION 3D. What you have here is a sequel to a poorly received movie that was based on a series of survival horror video games involving evil specters shrouded in fog. Strap on some glasses and they’ll jump out atcha.

R. 94m.

FUN SIZE. A sarcastic high school senior (Um, hello? Redundant much?) is like totally bummed cuz her mom is making her take her stupid kid brother trick-or-treating, which sucks cuz she and her sassy best friend like totally wanted to go to this awesome party hosted by this totally hot guy. PG13. 90m.

CHASING MAVERICKS. Based on the story of phenom Jay Moriarty, this fictional surf flick recounts the story of a 15-year-old NorCal surfer (newcomer Jonny Weston) who sets out to catch one of the biggest waves on earth with the help of legend Frosty Hesson (Gerard Butler).

The promotional materials promise “some of the most mind-blowing real wave footage ever captured on film.” PG. 115m.

Ring in Halloween week with The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), the stop-motion fantasy film about a gangly, skull-faced troubadour named Jack Skellington who opens a portal between Halloween Town and Christmas Town.

Sunday at 6 p.m. at the Arcata Theater Lounge. PG. The Humboldt County Library’s “Based on the Book” series wraps up Raymond Chandler month with The Long Goodbye

Continuing

ARGO. Ben Affleck can direct! Here he helms a thrilling and surprisingly funny account of the 1979-80 Iran hostage crisis, starring alongside Alan Arkin, John Goodman and Bryan Cranston. R. 120m.

FRANKENWEENIE. Tim Burton directs this black-and-white stop-motion film about a quixotic boy who resurrects his dead dog. PG. 87m.

HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA. Dracula (voiced by Adam Sandler) runs a posh, monsters-only hotel, catering to the likes of Frankenstein (Kevin James) and the Mummy (CeeLo Greene). PG. 91m.

LOOPER. Joe (Joseph Gordon Levitt) is a mob hitman in the future who’s supposed to kill an older version of himself (Bruce Willis), sent back from the future’s future. Smart, trippy sci-fi. R. 118m.

PITCH PERFECT. Anna Kendrick heads the cast in a music-drenched tale of an all-girl a capella group striving to win a championship. PG13. 112m.

SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS. This violent, star-studded dognapping comedy from writer/director Martin McDonagh (In Bruges) may be uneven, but Christopher Walken has rarely been better. R. 110m.

SINISTER. Ethan Hawke stars as a truecrime novelist who accidentally unleashes some bad supernatural juju that was minding its own business in a box of old home movies. Oops. R. 109m.

TAKEN 2. An ex-CIA agent proficient in the whupping of ass (Liam Neeson) has to protect his family from kidnappers. PG13.

90m.

King Arthur, Part 1: The Matter of Britain

By Barry Evans

fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com

A

rthur long sustained his sinking country, and roused the broken courage of its citizens for war.

Deeds of the Kings of the English, William of Malmesbury, c. 1125.

I used to give one-evening community college classes on such eclectic topics as “The Seven Wonders,” “Dinosaurs,” “Mars,” and “King Arthur.” Attendance was unpredictable … except for “Arthur,” which always attracted a full house. What I was seeing wasn’t a new phenomenon. Since the Middle Ages, the Arthurian legends have consistently captured large audiences with their tales of chivalry and romance. In this and the following two columns, I’ll try to explain their timeless popularity.

Around the year 1200, medieval French poet Jean Bodel classified the storytelling themes of his age into three “Matters.”

The oldest was the “Matter of Rome,” which included legendary Greek tales of the Trojan War and the subsequent founding of Rome by Aeneas, together with exploits of real-life military strongmen such as Alexander and Julius Caesar.

The youngest, the “Matter of France,” concerned the French king Charlemagne and his 12 knightly “peers,” including Roland (as in the classic Chanson de Roland).

And the third was the “Matter of Britain:” the story of King Arthur.

You might think that a figure as well-known in popular culture as Arthur, together with his court at Camelot, the Round Table of knights and the quest for the Holy Grail, must have at least some basis in fact. Yet historians debate whether a real-life Arthur actually existed — or if he did, which of maybe six questionable contenders was the prototype. That’s

because it all happened in post-Roman Britain, during the era often referred to as the “Dark Ages” roughly from 400 to 700 CE, when European historical records are particularly sparse.

Arthur — assuming he was a real person — lived in late fifth century Britain, but not until three centuries later is he mentioned by name, and then as a war lord (“dux bellorum”), not as a king.

Romanized Britain had enjoyed a roughly three-century era of peace and prosperity in the period before Arthur, from Emperor Claudius’ conquest in 144 to the evacuation of the last Roman troops in 410. They left behind a British populace “entirely ignorant of the whole practice of war,” quoting the only British historian of that time, the monk Gildas. With the Romans gone, outsiders stepped up the raids.

Picts and Scots swept in from northern Britain; Saxons, Angles and Jutes came from present-day Denmark and northern Germany. According to Gildas, the land was devastated with fire “until it burnt nearly the whole surface of the island, and licked the Western Ocean with its red and savage tongue.”

What the country needed was a leader capable of rallying the Britons to defend the land from the invaders, maybe someone named Arthur? Next week, we’ll look at the evidence for Arthur’s role in the singular event that appears to have stemmed the invasions for a century: the battle of Mount Badon. l Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo.com) is teaching a course at OLLI (826-5880) on King Arthur, dinosaurs and the Seven Wonders in November.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF MARY H. RANDALL CASE NO. PR120247

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: MARY H. RANDALL A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by SUSAN RANDALL in the Superior Court of California, County of Humboldt.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that SUSAN RANDALL be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by court.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on November 15, 2012 at 1:50 p.m. at the Superior Court of California, County of Humboldt, 825 Fifth Street, Eureka, in Dept. 8.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the deceased, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within four months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in Probate Code Section 9100. The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
