SPREADING THE GOSPEL OF GOOD FIRE Officials bring in artists to aid controlled burn messaging

BY MALCOLM TERENCE

Community Spotlight:

Mein Visual Designs Have you ever driven by one of the five local Murphy’s Market locations and noticed the decorative window art?

Well, chances are that longtime Murphy’s Cutten assistant manager Ruben Mein was the one who painted it.

Ruben started painting the Cutten Murphy’s windows years ago as a challenge to himself. “The old manager needed someone to decorate the windows, and I thought I could do it and I was

up for the challenge,” explains Ruben. Ruben has quickly grown his business into Mein Visual Designs with the help of his wife, Tynnese.

“My wife is a great photographer and takes pictures of all of my work. I do everything from logos to seasonal stuff. Right now, there are a lot of places that want fall themes, so I am pretty busy. It normally takes me anywhere from a couple hours to days to complete a window display; it just kind of depends on the client and the level

of detail they are looking for. It’s a great hobby and something that I really enjoy doing on my off time.

My motto for all of this has always been, ‘We’ve got you covered!’”

Ruben says.

So swing by your local Murphy’s Market and if you see some awesome window paintings, you know that Ruben has been there, working his magic. Also, check out Mein Visual Designs Facebook page for pictures and updates on future paintings.

ell, that new normal sure hit quick, huh? The Public Safety Power Shutoffs, which first swept over Humboldt County with minimal notice when it was thrust into 28 hours of darkness Oct. 8 and Oct. 9, came back with a vengeance less than three weeks later.

In an effort to keep its woefully neglected infrastructure from starting yet another devastating wildfire, PG&E cut power Oct. 26 to nearly 1 million customers spread across three dozen California counties, including more than 60,000 in Humboldt County. Locally, the blackout began around 10:30 p.m., with the entire county going dark around midnight — and staying that way for roughly 36 hours until lights blinked back on in swaths Oct. 28. But before the electricity returned, the power company was already warning that another blackout loomed before dawn Oct. 29, as more days of high winds and low humidity were in the forecast.

As the Journal rushed to press Oct. 28 — a day earlier than our normal printing deadline in an effort to get papers on newsstands this week — officials were warning that blackout could stretch several days. They urged those whose power had been restored to use the brief window to recharge and restock in preparation for another stretch without electricity, and warned those whose power was still out that it might not come back until the end of the week.

That this is the new normal in a state with the world’s fifth largest economy is beyond ludicrous. And it’s fair to wonder how long California’s economy will enjoy its ranked designation if this continues.

Locally, with the dust far from settled, we’ve already received reports of grocers and producers having suffered five-figure losses from the blackout earlier this month. How many can sustain three of

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Oct. 31, 2019 • northcoastjournal.com

those in a single month is a troubling question, as is how it will impact their employees. Meanwhile, we hear some cannabis farms are on edge, too, awaiting word on whether generators will keep freezers going until the electricity comes back on to prevent the loss of a year’s worth of product (read more on page 15). In short, this is an economic catastrophe playing out in slow motion throughout Humboldt County and much of the state.

But that pales in comparison to the human toll. As PG&E announced the Oct. 26 blackout and rushed to prepare, the Journal received word that a local man who was one of six people hospitalized with respiratory trouble after his breathing aide had failed in the Oct. 8 blackout had died. Other deaths have been reported in other parts of the state, bringing home that, while to many this is an inconvenience, power outages can bring devastating consequences for the most vulnerable among us.

While the reasoning behind PG&E’s immediate decisions to cut power to millions of Californians is understandable — one need only look a couple hundred miles to our south at the Kincade Fire to see the potential alternative. That blaze — the start of which coincided with a failure in a nearby PG&E transmission line — had grown to span 66,000 acres and threaten 80,000 homes as the Journal went to press.

But that in no way absolves PG&E of this dangerous blackout mess and its repercussions. After doling out $4.5 billion in shareholder dividends instead of trimming trees or moving transmission lines underground to prevent fires, according to federal Judge William Alsup, the company, which has already filed for bankruptcy protection in the face of massive liability from a spate of devastating wildfires, should stand as a cautionary example of what can happen when a business that

answers only to investors is put in charge of vital public infrastructure.

As we write this on the eve of another blackout, it’s clear that we as a community are on our own to navigate this debacle that greed and poor oversight have combined to create. The good news is that — as the past week has shown — we as individuals are not on our own.

If there’s a silver lining in all this — and it really is hard to find one — it’s that some of the best of Humboldt County has shone through. Neighbors have gone out of their way to help neighbors and nonprofits have sprung into action to provide for our most vulnerable. First responders have remained steadfast in their commitment to be there when called and healthcare providers haven’t waivered in caring for those of us in need of aid, despite working in challenging conditions.

Business owners have gone above and beyond to provide for residents’ needs and a local tribe — the Blue Lake Rancheria — has used its microgrid to give respite to the community and show us there’s a better way.

As bad as this has been, it could be far worse. The only reason it is not is that Humboldt County residents have picked each other up. Repeatedly. And it looks like we’ll have to continue to do so. No other help is coming. l Jennifer Fumiko Cahill is the Journal’s arts and features editor.

‘Terror-Gen’ Editor: Whether if Halloween was just around the corner or not, I think we could still call the corporation that’s owned by the Energy Capital Partners “Terror-Gen”, as it’s a good representation of the havoc that the company’s 600-foottall bird, bat and soil decapitating wind turbines will have on one of Humboldt’s and the West Coast’s most diverse ecological transects, while opening up other ridges to future development and increased wildfire risk (Mailbox, Oct. 24).

The proposed project stretches over 30 miles along Bear River (Tsakiuwit) and Monument ridges, from our coastal prairies on Cape Mendocino through grand fir, Douglas fir, redwood and tanoak forests, all the way to the white and black oak woodlands of Bridgeville. The recent power outage shows why centralized grid-tied projects like this give us no benefit of energy security, and why home solar micro-grid projects shine as the direction we need to be taking to combat global climate change. In fact, all we would get from the TERROR-Gen project are unmitigable impacts to cultural and biological resources, and a new 25-mile transmission corridor through un-developed forestland along Shively Ridge, the functioning divide between the Eel and Van Duzen River valleys. Who will be responsible for maintaining and supervising these lines, especially when fire conditions are ripe?

Redwoods store more carbon per acre than any other forest type in the world, including the Amazon. The Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for the project is out Nov. 1 and the first planning commission workshop is Nov. 7. The draft EIR contained much to be desired, with the impacts clearly being significant and unavoidable. Please get informed by visiting the Humboldt Wind Energy Project page and show up to voice opposition to a development project not suited for the prairies and forests of Humboldt County.

Follow the money folks, many including the so-called climate scientists, who live and die by the “grant,” are getting rich on this colossal ruse.

None of the climate computer crisis models include the Solar Max and Minimum cycle (Google it). The real climate scientist the “solar scientist,” say we are on schedule for a solar minimum (the last being the Dalton minimum around the mid-1800s making the maximum in the mid-1900s) come the middle to later part of this century.

‘Highly Ordered’ Editor: I would like to respond to Barry Evans’ Field Notes headlined “Mirror Universes” (Oct. 24) in which he states that, “You’re more disordered than you were yesterday ...”

While this may be true in our personal lives as far as biology is concerned, we remain highly ordered day after day. Even though cells are continually dying, in living things the cells never move towards chaos, but instead are deconstructed. Their components are either broken down and recycled or turned into waste products that are then eliminated. All of these processes are highly ordered. When living things eventually die, they are deconstructed by other living organisms such as fungi and bacteria.

This process has been on going for the last 3.4 billion years on the earth. When it comes to living systems, the universe is not tending toward chaos at all but, rather, it is highly ordered and organized. This is something that physics simply does not get.

in the city since the blackout began — two from the backs of trucks and one from the backyard of a residence during the night. Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal similarly said his office received reports of generator thefts. Both urged folks to make sure their generators are locked down, secured and not left out overnight.

“Also, people have been complaining about generator noise,” Honsal said in a text message to the Journal. “But there’s not much we can do about that right now.”

(This seems a good opportunity to remind folks that OES is asking folks to refrain from calling 911 unless they are experiencing or witnessing a life-threatening emergency.)

A generator also reportedly caught fire behind Big Blue Café in Arcata on Oct. 27. Another tenant of the building reported that he saw smoke and called the Arcata Volunteer Fire Department, but got a dead signal, so he ran around the block and banged on the door. The department responded swiftly from there and quickly got the fire under control before it could do much damage.

The county saw at least six people hospitalized with respiratory issues after their breathing aides failed in the Oct. 8 outage. One man who rapidly decompensated and had to be airlifted to an out of area hospital later died.

However, preparedness seems to have staved off similar issues in the Oct. 26 outage. Christian Hill, a spokesperson for St. Joseph Hospital, said staff didn’t see an uptick in patients during the outage.

He largely attributed that to community

efforts to set up medical device charging stations and make sure people had the supplies they needed heading into the blackout.

Efforts to reach Mad River Hospital for this story were unsuccessful by deadline.

The Humboldt County Office of Emergency Services was referring people with disabilities or who are dependent on electricity to power life-sustaining medical equipment to Tri-County Independent Living [(833) 866-8444]. Anisa Escobedo, the organization’s outreach coordinator, told the Journal it received approximately 250 calls through the outage and helped connect patients in need of electricity to power oxygen tanks and CPAP machines with local hotels that have power.

Food for People, which scrambled to consolidate three freezers worth of food into two, used a lot of dry ice to keep its food from spoiling and also brought in a refrigeration truck.

“We’re holding up pretty well,” said Anne Holcomb, the nonprofit food bank’s executive director, adding that the organization was distributing nonperishable foods during the blackout. “All programs are operational.”

Holcomb said Food for People reached out to senior and home-bound clients to offer to deliver their food during the blackout. She said that while the food bank’s phone systems are down when the power is out, its main office (307 W. 14th St. in Eureka) is open for walk-ins from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays.

Beached Whale Euthanized

A

veterinarian with the Marine Mammal Center was forced to euthanize a humpback whale on Oct. 24 after it had been stranded on the north side of Samoa Beach for about 36 hours.

The decision to euthanize the whale, which was found on the beach entangled in fishing nets, came after the Sausalito veterinarian conducted physical examinations and blood tests to determine its health.

Now, the teams are conducting a necropsy and external examination of the whale to try to find out more about what happened, said Dawn Goley, Humboldt State University professor and HSU Marine Mammal Stranding Program coordinator.

Once they are done with the examinations, the teams will bury the whale on the beach.

“We’re really sorry it ended this way,” Goley said. “But this was the most humane way to go.”

It was a sad end after rescuers and local residents spent more than 24 hours hoping the whale would re-enter the water at high

tide, with officials dousing it with buckets of water during low tides, when the whale was almost entirely out of the water.

“It’s not good for a whale to be out of water, ever,” Goley said. “Land and gravity takes its toll. The force of the pull of [the whale’s] weight affects its organs.”

While some lamented more couldn’t be done to get the whale back into the water, Goley said attempting to push it back in would have been dangerous for both the whale and people. Other ideas, like building trenches, also had profound risks, she added, saying that the waves on the North Coast play a role in the danger, calling them “treacherous.”

“We’ve been in communication with NOAA and other organizations around the country who have had experiences with stranded whales to weigh out every option,” Goley said before the decision was made to euthanize the animal. “It might seem like we are not doing much, but we’re thinking of what’s best and safest for the whale and people.”

The beached humpack whale was found entangled in fishing nets.

Mark McKenna

Goley was one of the first responders at the scene, coordinating with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the National Marine Fisheries Services.

The MMSP team had first assessed the condition of the whale and the entanglement of the net before contacting the NOAA to plan how to disentangle it. After about an hour, using specialized equipment, the teams made careful cuts and were able to disentangle the whale from the net. They

then began assessing its respiration and behavior to enact the best plan to return the whale to the ocean.

Goley said they do not know what other factors played a role in the whale coming onto the shore or what the whale’s condition was when it first got caught in the net.

Alleged High School Plot Thwarted Two male Fortuna High School students were arrested Oct. 22 and face felony charges after school administrators and police thwarted what they deemed a plot to “harm” fellow students.

In a press conference Oct. 23, Fortuna Police Chief William Dobberstein said the investigation indicates the two students — one 17, the other 16 — had the means to follow through with the attack.

“There is some evidence that they did have the means,” he said, adding that the extent of those means was still under investigation and declining to specify whether that meant the juveniles had access to firearms or other weapons.

The police chief said there are no additional suspects in the case and he doesn’t believe the campus or the community to be in danger.

School administrators were alerted to the alleged plot when two students came forward the afternoon of Oct. 22 and reported they’d heard and seen things that caused them to fear the suspects were plotting to harm other students. School administration notified the police, who were on scene within minutes and took the

suspects into custody within an hour after finding “information” on their persons that vallidated the other students’ allegations.

The chief said the plot targeted a “fairly large group” of “particular students” but declined to elaborate whether that meant specific students or a particular student group. He said there is currently no indication the suspects were acting in accordance with any particular ideology.

“I don’t know the motivation but on first glance it appears this is not a hate crime,” he said.

Dobberstein said his department would be recommending that prosecutors charge the juveniles with making terrorist threats, conspiracy and disruption of a school.

Humboldt County District Attorney Maggie Fleming was out of the office at a conference as the Journal went to press and could not be reached for comment, though her chief investigator Wayne Cox told the Journal the suspects were charged with felonies. He also said he couldn’t comment on the specific charges.

Fortuna Union High School District Superintendent Glen Senestraro said, while scary for students, parents and staff,

Fortuna school resource officer Lindsey Frank watches the press conference, in which Police Chief William Dobberstein credited her with building trust with Fortuna High School students. Mark McKenna the incident went “as well as it could have gone” and the system the school has in place worked.

“Someone saw something, someone said something and we were able to get involved immediately,” he said, adding he feels that’s indicative of the proactive efforts of school staff to get to know students and interact with them.

Dobberstein declined to give any additional information about the reporting students, saying, “The suspects have no idea who they are and we intend to keep it that way.”

During the press conference, some parents expressed concern that they weren’t notified of the threat and the arrests until the following day, and others shared gratitude for the school’s swift action.

“As much as we’re scared and we’re frustrated, I see what you guys are doing and I appreciate it,” said one parent, her voice breaking with emotion. “Thank you to our officers and thank you to our school because, at the end of the day, everyone went home.”

SPREADING THE GOSPEL OF GOOD FIRE Officials bring in artists to aid controlled burn messaging

By Malcolm Terence

I

t’s been clear for decades that re-thinking fire management in the West is as much art as craft and science, so it’s fitting that the annual prescribed burning training program called TREX, just ending in and around Orleans, invited in a gang of real artists this year to help spread the message.

Since its inception in 2014, the Klamath TREX has had two goals.

The first is to light intentional fires around communities at safer times of the year, to restore cultural and natural resources and avoid the devastating wildfires in summer’s heat that destroy homes and property. In this way, the collaboration, which includes the Karuk Tribe and

10

members of the Yurok Tribe represented by the Cultural Fire Management Council, replicates the fires Native communities lit frequently for thousands of years until their traditional ignitions were forcefully suppressed and outlawed a little more than a century ago.

The second goal is to spread the gospel of intentional fire to communities across the West that are increasingly threatened by devastating burns. The artists, who call their work nature journaling, were enlisted to give wings to the idea that humans are responsible for how fire looks on their landscapes. They aim to show that fires can preserve and restore threatened and endangered species instead of threatening

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Oct. 31, 2019 • northcoastjournal.com

Art by Laurie Wigham captures a controlled burn. them, and that prescribed fire can reduce the damage done by seasonal wildfires, conflagrations that grow more destructive every year.

One of the challenges to prescribed burning has always been the optics of a bunch of people intentionally lighting fires in the woods after a lifetime of Smokey Bear commercials preaching a very different message.

The journalers, if that is a word, recently accompanied crews out into the woods to watch them light and then manage fires that would burn out the undergrowth near homes, reducing fuels and restoring life to forests that had grown stagnant from a century of fire exclusion.

The artistic result reflected a spontaneous and understandable view of how prescribed fire does its work. Recruiting the artists to Klamath TREX was the brain child of Miriam Morrill, a fire education specialist with the California office of the federal Bureau of Land Management.

The 10 artists, who varied in their style and background, were given access to the actual ignitions that was so close it required the escort of several experienced fire fighters and issuing the artists the same fire resistant Nomex clothes as the regular TREX trainees.

Most were nature journal veterans and one of them, John Muir Laws, has published eight books since 2001.

notes and labels with the information Tripp had shared.

As they began their sketches and paintings, Tripp gestured across the Klamath and said miners in the Gold Rush had hydraulic mined away a village site there, destroying the homes and killing at least one resident.

At the end of their three-day stay, the journalers shared their work — annotated drawings, watercolors, even haikus — after a dinner attended by the 120 TREX participants. The prescribed fire trainees seemed transfixed by the drawings, which ranged from quick sketches to paintings worthy of a frame, with many corrugated with

written observations, names and years of old wildfires.

Morrill, the BLM fixer, who came up with the idea of the journalers’ visit and floated it just a few months earlier, was very pleased.

“We all felt honored and in awe of the collaboration and efforts to restore fire to the area,” she said afterward. “It was like a window into a historical movement that we were privileged to witness and journal about. Saying it went well is not accurate or adequate.”

Abundant September rains preceded the two-week TREX session, arguably

making some of the planned burns safer and making others too damp to light at all.

Despite this, an old obstacle re-emerged when Cal Fire issued a statewide burn suspension because of forecasted strong, dry north winds in the Central Valley, the same kind that spread the devastating Camp Fire last year and also prompted PG&E to shut down power lines throughout the state. In the deep folds of the Klamath mountains, however, this weather created the ideal conditions for burning sheltered south facing units.

The TREX collaborators wrote a lengthy letter to Cal Fire Director Thomas Porter

citing evidence that they had sufficient capacity on site to handle any potential escapes from the prescribed burns, and noting that Porter’s predecessor, Ken Pimlott, had granted a similar exemption in 2015.

“This training program is organized into a Type 3 Incident Management Team with three burn modules,” the letter stated.

“Each burn module includes at least 22 firefighters, a burn boss and burn boss trainee, task force leader, squad bosses, two Type 6 engines, one Type 3 engine, one water tender and a contingency Type II dozer.”

The letter added that there would be expert specialists in weather and smoke forecasting and 120 qualified firefighters from several agencies, tribes and non-profits on site, and bolstered its case with a 10-page appendix demonstrating their caution, preparation and expertise.

The idea of returning to prescribed burning after nearly a century of fire suppression got its start at least 20 years ago (and there were savvy firemen in the U.S. Forest Service lobbying for it 40 years ago).

Locals in the Orleans area began trialing controlled burns in 2003 through the local Fire Safe Council. They used a model of

“neighbors helping neighbors,” a re-invention of the Prescribed Burn Association model brought west by U.C. Cooperative Extension’s Lenya Quinn-Davidson, to form the Humboldt County chapter.

There were itinerant TREX ventures in 2012 and 2013 before river locals began their own Klamath TREX program in 2014 with sponsorship from the Nature Conservancy (TNC). The list of sponsors grows each year and this year included the Karuk Tribe, Mid Klamath Watershed Council (MKWC), TNC, U.S. Forest Service, Cultural

Will Harling, director of the Mid Klamath Watershed Council, said the group’s letter to Cal Fire proved persuasive.

“Porter gave verbal permission through his chain of command to the unit level for us to burn while no one else in NorCal was burning,” he said, adding that this year’s TREX burning shut down a day or two early because of nearly an inch of rain in the area, underscoring the complexities of needing perfect conditions when it is not too wet, too windy or too dry for prescribed burning to be both safe and effective.

Part of the goal of the journaling project was to increase the confidence in affected communities that intentional burning has made them safe enough that

they will be more receptive to “managed wildfires” in the future.

“Too often resources can’t be mobilized in time to take advantage of burn windows (for intentional fires), but the TREX model has built a community of fire practitioners that is available to pounce with us when the window opens,” Harling said. “We need to pounce on our burn windows as if our lives depend on it. They actually just might.”

Harling also praised the nature journalers as aiding in that effort. “[They] showed us a new way of communicating about fire that helps demystify the complexities of prescribed fire and good fire, making it accessible to the lay person through art and simple text,” he said. “The more ways we tell the good fire story, the better.” l Malcolm Terence is the author of Beginner’s Luck: Dispatches from the Klamath Mountains, published

WEEK IN WEED

A Year’s Work on Life Support

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

n the midst of harvest season, the Humboldt County Growers Alliance has announced that the county now has the most licensed cannabis businesses of any California county.

In fact, an analysis by the alliance found that Humboldt County holds nearly 30 percent of the state’s cultivation licenses and is home to a third of the state’s cultivation businesses. Further, with 569, the county has more independent cultivation businesses than any other and has 442 acres of land licensed for cannabis production, which outpaces even Santa Barbara County and its behemoth mega farms.

“As we celebrate the 2019 harvest, Humboldt County’s leadership in the regulated cannabis market is a testament to this community’s resilience,” said HCGA Executive Director Terra Carver in a press release. “The fact that Humboldt now leads the state in licensed cultivation validates the incredible effort that farmers, local cannabis businesses, policymakers and the community have put in over the past five years to bring us to this point.”

Of course, this news came just as PG&E pulled the plug on almost a million customers throughout the state, including more than 60,000 in Humboldt County, which, of course, includes all those previously mentioned cannabis farms.

While some retail shops remained open throughout the blackout — we see you EcoCann dispensary with your “The lights won’t be lit, but we will!” sign — disruption of the industry as a whole has been significant.

The biggest issue, according to Carver, is keeping freezers operational for stocks of “fresh frozen,” or cannabis that is frozen while fresh to be manufactured into concentrates.

“Some folks have entire harvests in their freezers and some distributors have a bunch of different farms’ work in their freezers,” Carver said. “That’s a lot of responsibility and liability. If a freezer fails and it thaws, the product is worthless.”

Taylor Lefevre, co-owner of Bear Extraction in Arcata, said he feels that responsibility. He said the company brought in a large generator during the previous PG&E blackout on Oct. 8 and Oct. 9, and had an electrician wire it to the company’s industrial freezer, so it was prepared this go around. He said Bear just stocked up on fuel reserves and halted production to prioritize keeping the freezer cold.

“We have a lot of farmers’ material onsite,” Lefevre said. “People’s whole crops are in there.”

So far, Lefevre said things are going great, though he added if the blackout stretches further into the week, the company will bring in another generator to power the production side of its business because it can’t keep it down for too long.

“We’re resourceful,” he said. “We used to live out in the mountains.”

Of course, there are other issues, too.

Without power, the state’s track and trace program isn’t working because its portal is down. Carver said the state has been proactive, however, in issuing directions for workarounds.

The most pressing issue impacting the entire industry, however, is the fires burning to the south, which have entirely shut down operations in much of Sonoma and Mendocino counties. That has upstream effects in Humboldt County, according to Carver. Though this isn’t at all unique to the cannabis industry.

“Our manufacturers and distributors in town are hurting just like all other businesses,” she said. “Ironically enough, our off-the-grid farms are faring best. They are literally built for this.” l Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor. He prefers he/him pronouns and can be reached at 442-1400, extension 321, or thad@ northcoastjournal.com.

A Pirate’s Treasure of Chardonnays From buttery to bright and even a little cave-y

By Erin Young

tabletalk@northcoastjournal.com

G

rowing up, “wine” and “chardonnay” were synonymous in my house. The women in my family drank Wente chardonnay like they owned stock in the winery. It was the first wine I remember being allowed a sip of when I was young and it accompanied every family gathering once my mom decided I was old enough to drink. The only problem was that I didn’t actually like it much. I also had nothing to compare it to, so I just figured that’s what all wine tasted like and you just put up with it for the sake of getting drunk at family dinners.

But in my early 20s, I moved to Central Texas and stumbled into working at a fully estate winery. Soon after I was hired, my boss poured me a glass of white wine and asked me to describe it. I awkwardly swirled the wine in my glass, stuck my nose in and sniffed, fully prepared for it to smell a whole lot like wine and nothing else. But before I knew what was happening, I blurted out, “It smells like the Pirates of the Carribean ride at Disneyland.”

As soon as I said it, I was sure it was the dumbest thing I had ever said in my life.

This thought seemed to be confirmed by the look on my boss’ face. Apparently, Texans aren’t particularly familiar with Disneyland, let alone the nuances of the Pirates of the Carribean. After some discussion in which I described the ride, we discovered that what I was smelling was referred to as “wet stone.”

When she told me the wine was a chardonnay, my mind was blown. How could this wine that smells like robot pirates in a wet cave possibly be in the same category as the apple-y, oaky Wente I had grown up with?

The answer is because wine is incredibly

versatile. One grape can be produced in many different styles and none exemplify this more than chardonnay. Its popularity means that it’s grown around the world and each location accents different flavor profiles. Chardonnay also responds particularly well to winemaking influences like oak, which broadens the possibilites of flavors and styles.

On the far ends of this flavor spectrum are France — specifically Chablis — and California. And as usual, I have scoured the town for examples of these two styles that you can go out and try today, as well as examples from local winemakers to compare and contrast to vastly different styles.

Chablis is a region in Burgundy, France, though geographically speaking it is closer to Champagne than it is to the rest of Burgundy. The cool, northern climate produces chardonnay that is crisp, and tart and the chalky soil adds a minerality that seems to electrify the finish of this mouth-watering white wine. Most Chablis are aged in stainless steel or neutral oak to preserve this clean, bright acidity, though some are starting to introduce new oak to the style. Now, I do feel the need to specify that I am not referring to the Chablis that comes in a box or a jug, but if that’s what you’re into, more power to you. However, you don’t have to spend a fortune to get yourself a good or reasonable bottle.

Searching for one locally, I contacted NaRayan at Libation, my go-to for import wines. He has a couple of options but the one I ultimately chose was a 2018 Domaine Séginot-Bordet from Petit Chablis AOC, priced at $21. Though Petit Chablis is not the best appellation they’ve got, this particular wine is a good example

of how light and crisp a chardonnay can be. It is refreshingly tart with notes of Granny Smith apple, honeysuckle, starfruit and lime peel, and finishes with a sharp minerality.

In stark contrast is the California style of chardonnay. To get the biggest possible contrast to Chablis, I chose Jam Cellars’ 2017 Butter, which I picked up at Myrtlewood Liquors & John’s Fine Cigars for $14.99. This wine is labeled as “Cellared and bottled by Jam Cellars - Lodi, California,” which indicates that the grapes likely came from multiple vineyards and that the wine was not actually made on location at Jam Cellars. Regardless, the grapes being from California is the first clue that this wine is going to be very different. Central and Northern Central California have warm climates that allow grapes to ripen more than in a cool climate. On top of that, this wine has been oaked heavily and has gone through malolactic fermentation (a process that converts malic acid into lactic acid, creating a rich, buttery flavor and mouth-feel). This wine has notes of Red Delicious apple, vanilla, buttered popcorn and toast, with a richness that clings to the palette.

Personally, of the two styles, I usually prefer the light, bright acidity of Chablis.

But along with giant scarves, bad horror movies and disgusting amounts of Halloween candy, I think there is no better way to embrace autumn than with a glass of apple-y, rich chardonnay. So here’s what I’m drinking this fall from our local winemakers.

First is Septentrio, in part because I am head over heels for its new tasting room, but also because winemaker Jared Sandifer has multiple chardonnays that span the spectrum of flavors from crisp to buttery.

Ultimately, the one that I went home with was a 2017 from Soda Canyon Creek Vineyard in Napa Valley for $26. Though not the same style as a Chablis, this wine does embody a more French style with bright acidity and a touch of warm coziness from having been aged in oak. With notes of caramel apple, pineapple, toasted coconut and apple blossoms, this wine is a perfect “best of both worlds” situation.

Second is Moonstone Crossing. Winemakers Don Bremm and Sharon Hanks have a couple of options, including one aged in stainless steel. But the one that stands out to me is the 2016 Russian River Valley chardonnay, which is $28 at their tasting room. If you’re more into the buttery side of life, this wine is for you.

With notes of fresh pressed apple cider, candied pineapple, buttered toast and toasted almonds, it’s perfect for snuggling in for that horror movie marathon.

With as wide-ranging as the flavors and styles of chardonnay are, I encourage you to go out and taste more of them. In California it can be so easy to assume that all chardonnays are like Butter, Rombauer or Wente, but there are so many other beautiful wines made from this versatile grape.

Let our local winemakers and shop owners guide you through tasting the many forms that chardonnay can take. Whether it’s because it tastes like green apple, buttered popcorn or a pirate cave, there is likely a chardonnay out there for you. l Erin Young is a wine educator, consultant and Wine & Spirit Education Trust student.

Heathers is Very An ’80s movie adaptation sings at HSU

By David Jervis

frontrow@northcoastjournal.com

T

he 1980s are a decade remembered as a little more feckless, joyous and callow than they in fact were. In line with that recollection is a whole era of teen movies. Some were fun; many are unwatchable now. But in 1989, as the decade churned to a close, there was the movie Heathers, from the pen of young screenwriter Daniel Waters, which sort of slammed the door on the ditzier shades of the genre.

Heathers is a brilliant but very dark comedy, and seemed even more so then, barging head-on into the subjects of teen suicide, murder and even mass killings. It was pretty much impossible for a studio to market in that era and it bombed. Still, it outlived so many things on the screen that year to become a cult phenomenon and cultural touchstone. That in 2010 a musical version made its way from off-Broadway to London’s West End is not a big surprise, and now Heathers: The Musical lands as a great 2019-2020 season opener for Humboldt State University’s theater department.

It’s 1989 at Westerburg High School in Sherwood, Ohio. Veronica Sawyer (Gwynnevere Cristobal) is, at first, the rather detached chronicler of all the school’s social strata, which includes three noxious popular girls all by the first name of Heather, the sort who sit wherever they want to at lunch, and who exercise fickle and

18

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Oct. 31, 2019 • northcoastjournal.com

diabolical control over those they consider beneath them. That’s everyone, essentially.

A not-really-accidental meeting gets Veronica into the Heathers’ orbit, and the extent of the trio’s control, or at least what they see in their own minds, gets belted out in the number “Candy Store.” Cristobal has a stunning voice, as does Kiara Hudlin (Last seen in Ferndale Repertory Theatre’s Smokey Joe’s Cafe), who plays Heather Chandler, the alpha and the most conniving of the three.

Veronica has a fashion makeover and is invited to a popular kid-mobbed homecoming party, but also has the menace of her newfound “friends” forcing her to be an accessory to a cruel prank against her childhood friend Martha (Katie Lem).

Fortunately, amid all this she meets, and is aswoon with, new-at-school, scruffy, sexy and poetry-quoting J.D. (William English III), who wins his way into her heart in a brawl with Westerberg’s laughably horrid pair of loudest jocks, Kurt and Ram (Garrett Vallejo and Henry Crome).

From there things naturally find their way into the great heart of darkness that is high school and, ultimately, some sense of redemption.

We’re treated to Veronica’s onstage diary entries, which include some of the most iconic lines from the original film (“My teenage angst now has a body count”), as she and J.D. are thrust into a maelström that, at first, validates the axiom that hell

HOME & GARDEN

is other people. But amid the apparent suicides of their worst foes, it’s clear there are some pretty dark places within themselves.

To say any more would be unfair both to people unfamiliar with the original movie and those who know it by heart.

Heathers: The Musical muscles its way into being a hefty work on its own merits and Director Rae Robinson handles it more than adeptly. The first act rolls along with great momentum, while the second act is weighted down a bit with a couple of musical numbers that have considerably less zip, as well as the absence of some of the most obnoxious characters. Although, in fairness, some of the characters who’ve died live on as ghosts appearing periodically in the play, a great choice. The show’s winning number, without a doubt, takes the movie’s memorable “I love my dead gay son” scene and rockets it into a 2019 consciousness. The dueting conservative-but-woke dads are spot-on (“They were not dirty/ They were not fruits/ They were just two stray laces in the Lord’s big boots”) and it’s a great burst of energy for the whole play.

Lem and English have great pipes on them as well, and all of the cast were able to generally overcome some spotty but persistent sound problems on opening night. Fine work was done by in the very busy set changes and overall design from Jayson Mohatt and company, and from costumer Tzveta Stoimenova for nailing, oh, such an era (so many colored tights).

That Heathers feels so timeless in its story rather than a period relic might seem troubling, but it’s quite the opposite. To quote one of the Heathers, it’s “very.”

ART BEAT

We’re All Land Artists Now Water and Power, works by Becky Evans and Jerry Martien at Piante Gallery

By Gabrielle Gopinath artbeat@northcoastjournal.com

M

oon-shaped pools, underground flows and springs long-buried by sand inspired the poems, paintings and vessels in Jerry Martien and Becky Evans’ new exhibition at Piante Gallery (and the gallery’s final show before closing), Water and Power. Evans explained that she and Martien both grew up in Southern California near Los Angeles, where water and power are paired terms in the state’s technocracy. “We were both familiar with the Department of Water and Power in L.A. County. And another thing we were both familiar with was escaping L.A. — finding refuge in wild creeks, the wild places at the limits of the urban space. We had some of those things in common,” she said.

The artist perched on the edge of a stool in her vaulted studio while a beam of late-afternoon sun slid down the wall behind her, coupling the porcelain bottles crowded along the studio’s work surfaces with shadows. The October light was beautiful; at the moment, it was also the only available illumination. Humboldt County’s second power blackout of the season was well into its second day of disruption, rendering the exhibition’s already relevant title positively on-the-nose.

Evans had worked into the late hours firing ceramic pieces in the electric kiln the night before, looking to get as many pieces fired as possible before the shutoff.

It had been a California week in which necessity had catalyzed the “new normal” — the baseline setting of climate anxiety — into involuntary climate action.

“My son was supposed to be delivering a speech about climate change in the Bay Area today,” Martien said. Instead of delivering those remarks, Martien’s son ended up making an alternative point about climate change by evacuating the Bay Area with his family, along with almost 200,000 others.

Martien and Evans’ most recent collaboration got started in a class on nature writing Martien taught for the Osher Lifelong Learning Initiative at Humboldt State University. He encouraged Evans to

20

enroll. “I knew we were both interested in the high desert and in bodies of water,” he said.

“We shared similar experiences with place and we were both interested in issues with water,” Evans concurred. Martien’s first writing prompt was simply, “Go find some water.” That task sent Evans “on a walking quest for water in L.A.” A deadpan photograph series of water meters was one of the first results.

Evans and Martien are among a loosely affiliated group of Humboldt-based artists and writers who have hymned California’s North Coast for decades, working from data-oriented perspectives informed by the example of 1970s conceptual art. Both have always made art that advocates paying attention to the land. Now reality is compelling the rest of California to catch up.

Suddenly, we are all land artists. We pore over maps of impending outages, study projections of sea-level rise and discuss the pronouncements of utility-company CEOs amongst ourselves with new zeal. (At least, we do these things when the power’s on.)

“This show does feel more urgent,” Martien said. “Politics and the environment … are getting indistinguishable. So I did feel this urgency and I was trying to come at this subject in all the ways I could, through the politics of water.” Fundamental questions came to the fore, he explained: “Where can poetry go? What can it do? It has to get good at getting down. This whole civilization just needs to get down.”

Maybe it’s the ambient public awareness that makes so many of these paintings, ceramic vessels and poems seem to vibrate with relevance. Many of the words and images in the exhibition were created in response to one another, fruits of an intermedia collaboration — “an evolving sort of investigation,” Martien called it — that has been underway now for several years. Paintings based on poems and poems responding to ceramic vessels offer opportunities to track the muse as it jumps like a welder’s arc from one head to the next.

Cast water bottles from Becky Evans’ “Fossil Water.”

Scientifically derived data exists as a baseline in both artists’ work. Four Evans paintings in encaustic show topographic views of Humboldt Bay that look familiar in some parts, strange in others. They are based on maps created by cartographer and Water and Power collaborator Aldaron Laird, showing projections of the new regional coastline that the anticipated 1 meter of sea level rise will impart by 2060.

Evans’ ceramic piece “Fossil Water” involves 100 fired-clay vessels cast from single-use plastic water bottles atop a sculpture stand, surrounded with shards and bits of ceramic detritus. “I made the bottles using a two-part mold in plaster,” Evans said. “I had to cast them, trim them, add the fossil history.” Retro-fitting the shards was a labor-intensive process, involving “rolling out flat clay — with a biscuit roller! — and applying a coating so the surface shrinks and gets dry-cracked.”

Finally, each bottle went through two or three separate firings. Ranked in formation, the milky white bottles are uncanny — deeply familiar shapes but strange in every other way, crusted with copper-stained shards like relics from a delirious archaeological dig. The mind resists the incongruity between their sleek shapes and their layers of incrustation. They are “messages in bottles,” Evans noted, albeit not in the way that’s usually meant.

Martien, a specialist in the poetics of

infrastructure, writes prose poems that are proudly local. (He has almost certainly referenced the Humboldt County Community Services District more often than any other published poet.) Many of his poems reproduce, hijack and subvert bits of popular non-literary prose ranging from 19th century regional histories to 21st century meeting notes. “MAD RIVER RUNS THROUGH YOU” excavates this unpromising material, embedding a covert message inside a block-shaped fragment of text from the narrative of L.K. Wood and Josiah Gregg’s expedition of 1850. Martien said, “The text tells how, when the expedition went across the mouth of the Mad, the expedition leaders had this violent argument there, which ultimately gave the river its name. I used typewriter type to insert a message within Wood’s own lines … threaded through and overlaid on top of old history.” The Mad River, Martien points out, is the source of much of the county’s fresh drinking water. Running through us, indeed. ● The show Water and Power will be on view at Piante Gallery from Nov. 2 through Dec. 14. On Friday, Nov. 23 Jerry Martien and Becky Evans will give a reading there to musical accompaniment.

I

’m hastily typing this out a few days earlier than usual because I’m trying to beat the clock on PG&E’s incoming Saturday power austerity, which I am sure you will have all been heartily inconvenienced by as of press time. I’d like to say that this sort of thing is unexpected and will likely be an anomaly in the future but let’s not kid ourselves. As long as we live in a country that puts profit above all else, things are only going to get much worse. Let’s just be happy that we still have access to clean water and food. Well, those of us who do, anyway.

Maybe spend some blackout downtime helping the ones who don’t?

The brilliant music writer Nick Tosches, who died this month just shy of his 70th birthday, once said in an interview that he never thought that the apocalypse would be such a mediocrity that no one would notice it. Perhaps he was indulging in the same hyperbolic language that this writer sometimes uses in the service of a larger truth about the broken world in which we all live, but it’s hard to look around at the current failures of American society and not see mediocrity writ large. The back end of the devil’s deal of capitalism is supposed to be unsuppressed innovation. Instead, we get a power grid run by grifters who can’t supply energy or guarantee public safety, the dumbest man in the world as our president with a criminal and stupid cabinet that still manages to utterly rook the democrats over and again, and a new blockbuster religious album by Kanye West that I can only describe as holy shit.

Folks, we don’t have to live in a techno-utopia but can we at least aim a little higher?

Does the dystopia have to be so cheesy and pathetic? Could we at least have homes, healthcare and a representative democracy?

Anyway, enough science fiction. Assuming there are basic utilities available, here’s what’s happening this week.

Thursday (Halloween) Well, it’s the big night. The night that I dig into the back of my closet and find the suit bag stuffed with the (fake) blood covered clothes I put on every year and wander into town to growl at people. If you’d like to do something more ambitious here’s a short list.

RampArt Skatepark is hosting a huge punk show with legendary U.K. act The Subhumans at 8 p.m. ($15).

Another likely very big/possibly will sell out show is happening at Humbrews at 9:30 p.m. Local funketeers Object Heavy will be tearing it up for keys-man Swizlo’s spooky

birthday with a little help from the Oh So Heavy Horns, Lovebush and Nada Clue ($10).

Finally, there’s a free costume party over at the Logger Bar at around the same time with music brought to you by the talented folks in Belles of the Levee and Absynth Quartet. If you wander off looking for ghosts, just remember to stay out of the river if you’ve been drinking and that the Blue Lake Cemetery is on private property and is covered in weeds and brambles.

Friday (All Saints Day)

Scottish fiddler Alasdair Fraser and Californian cellist Natalie Haas combine the traditions of the former’s home country to showcase the wonderful world of bowed instrument dance music. Tonight you can catch the duo at the Old Steeple, where the lively reels and jigs might not raise the dead but will likely soothe them during this time of the thinning of the spectral membrane caused by the attention and devotion of the living at 7:30 p.m. ($25).

Saturday (All Souls Day, end of Día de los Muertos) As the evening stretches out and the scene in Fantasia shifts from Mussorgsky to Schubert, come celebrate the wind-down over at the Outer Space at 7 p.m. with Boston’s experimental rock band Pile ($8). Also on the ticket are electronic primitivists Sea Moss, as well as Sneeze and Fucko, whose names sound like lower-tier Ninja Turtle villains.

Sunday Local world traveler Oryan Peterson-Jones is putting on a cool one tonight under his moniker Die Geister Beschworen at Blondie’s at 9 p.m., where he will be playing field recordings from his time in Senegal, Peru, Cuba and Europe with an accompanying slideshow of pictures from those places (free). He is hoping to produce what he imagines a rave in the desert many millennia would be like. Along for the ride is Portland, Oregon’s visual artist J$Fur making a return trip to the 707 and Max Brotman’s high rollin’ electronic dream machine Complex Crown.

Monday Big stinkin’ modern jazz event popping off over at the Arcata Playhouse tonight.

Amendola vs. Blades is a project of drum-

mer/composer Scott Amendola and Bay Area organist extraordinaire Wil Blades.

Filling out this crack improvisational team is saxophone madman Skerik, percussionist Cyro Baptista and guitarist Jeff Parker from the sublime band Tortoise. Starts at 7 p.m. ($20).

Tuesday

The Hanneke Cassel Band is fronted by the titular fiddler whose playing style spans from Cape Breton to the Isle of Skye. A former student of Alasdair Fraser, Ms. Cassel now tours with her own trio, which includes cellist Mike Block and guitarist Keith Murphy.

When the crew takes the stage at the Arcata Playhouse tonight at 7 p.m., you can expect breathtakingly virtuosic tunes with down home Americana touches. This should be a good one for any fans of Friday’s show at the Old Steeple who want to see some next generation freshness ($20).

Wednesday Vancouver punk collective and harm reduction advocates Crack Cloud are coming to the Miniplex this evening for a very special show. Expect multimedia visual art with music from that magical intersection of post-punk and dance music. Local distortion strummers and button-mashing, perverted reverb retailers CV will kick out some tasty licks too starting at 9 p.m. ($10). l Full show listings in the Journal’s Music and More grid, the Calendar and online.

Bands and promoters, send your gig info, preferably with a high-res photo or two, to music@northcoastjournal.com.

Muertos and Skully The Mexican holiday Dia De Los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a time to honor our ancestors and those no longer with us. The two-day observance features brightly colored dress as part of the holiday’s vibrant, life-affirming symbolism, recognizing that death is part of the continuum of life.

The annual celebration includes the ritual of placing offerings to the dead on the altar, along with photos, candles, flowers, mementos and poems, (calaveras) and saying a prayer to invite the spirits to visit. Locally, there are several events where you can join in the remembrance of a loved one and experience the rich colors, food and traditions.

The Sanctuary presents a Día de los Muertos Brazilian Party with Choroloco & Samba Floresta, on Nov. 1 from 7 to 10 p.m. ($10-$20 sliding). Dress up in costume or Day of Dead attire/face paint, and celebrate with friends. Choroloco, an acoustic trio of Seattle musicians, brings melodic and rhythmic Brazilian music at 7:30 p.m. and Samba Floresta, a performance group that specializes in the music and dance of Brazil, entertains with samba reggae, batucada, pagode, axé and more at 8:45 p.m.

Central del Pueblo invites you to join them on their traditional Procession of Día de Los Muertos from Fortuna to Eureka on Nov. 2. This year, they are walking to honor the memory of Indigenous immigrant community members, especially women and children that have died in detention centers and at the border. Those interested in making the trek can meet at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Fortuna at 5:30 a.m. and walk to College of the Redwoods where rides wil be provided to Pierson’s and from there on to the Eureka Labor Temple at 3 p.m. for the Festival Día de los Muertos from 3 to 6:30 p.m. where there will be a traditional altar.

Enjoy performances from Humboldt State University’s Folkloric Ballet and Mariachi HSU, also food, tamales and desserts for sale, and a raffle.

And finally, you can honor your ancestors at a Festival of Altars during a special Dia de los Muertos - Day of the Dead gathering at Old Town Gazebo, Nov. 2 from 5 to 9 p.m. (free). Organizers will have a spiral of family altars and a large community altar in the gazebo. You are invited to bring any type of offering — a photograph, a candle, flowers, food or something special to your loved one. There will be face painting, traditional Mexican food, music, dance and ceremony, with sales of pan de muerto, sugar skulls, candles and flowers.

I

Photo by Mike Kelly

apologize in advance to anyone who didn’t want to be transported to this alternate universe just now. But you can relax because the only difference between this new universe and your old one is that I was elected president of the United States in 2016.

My presidency started out OK. But then someone noticed I had taken more than 300 beachcombing trips to Humboldt County in my first two years. They claim it cost taxpayers $1 million just to sweep the sand out of Air Force One. I come to Humboldt because you have the best beaches. And I wish I could take you all beachcombing with me, but my Secret Service escorts would have to shoot you in the legs.

But those Secret Service escorts have sharp beachcombing eyes, so they are totally worth having around. I equip each of them with a little plastic bucket and spade, and I let them keep any dead things I don’t want.

Some of the dead things we find have been dead a very long time. Bluffs along some Humboldt beaches contain fossils of Pliocene and Pleistocene sea creatures.

These fossils sometimes weather out during winter storms and can be found when things calm down.

Only an idiot would visit these bluffs in the rain, so I do it all the time. I don’t worry about the landslides and dangerous surf.

Just as they are trained to take a bullet for me, a Secret Service agent will gladly take a giant block of falling siltstone for me.

One common fossil is the giant Pacific scallop. As with many of the fossils here, the scallops are usually crumbly. But I have some solid enough to display in the Oval Office in place of all those stupid books.

I haven’t found any fossil whale bones there yet but I know whales were around because I found a nice golf ball-sized whale barnacle called Coronula. This

34

barnacle rode around on a whale about a million years ago. A barnacle under your skin would be like a bone spur!

Small snail fossils are relatively common. The moon snails may be cute with their globose shape but they are probably the ocean’s biggest assholes. Look for perfectly round beveled holes in the shells of clams and snails. This hole is where a moon snail drilled through and then slowly ate the other animal alive. You can even find these holes in other moon snails. The cannibalistic bastards …

Common clams include cockles, bentnose clams and a delicate, shiny one called Pandora. The large mussel Mytilus is a less common find. Like most of the fossils here, the clams and mussels are very similar to ones that live here now. After all, a million years in geologic time is about as long as my attention span.

It’s also possible to find million-year-old sand dollar fossils around here. However, the cemented sand dollars that are common on beaches in the Eureka area are just modern sand dollars that got covered in concrete somehow. These sand dollar “fossils” are fake just like all the allegations.

There are also trace fossils in the siltstone. These are left behind by critters burrowing in the former ocean bottom.

They are made by worms, clams, shrimp and tiny little Democratic congressmen.

(Ha! That’s a good one! Your funniest stable PRESIDENT ever!)

Also, you should be aware that collecting vertebrate fossils — like whale bones — on federal land is illegal. So be sure to know the law where you collect. I don’t have to worry about that though because anything I do is automatically legal. ● Biologist Mike Kelly writes science-based satire as M. Sid Kelly. It’s available at Eureka Books and for Kindle. He prefers he/him.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be respon− sible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this prop− erty by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this informa− tion.
