Funny Business

lowns are creepy. There is something weird about a grown person who dons a rubber nose, floppy feet and loud clothes. Children don’t know what to think of them. They stare with mouth open and thumb in mouth. Some cry. Clowns terrify my sister. So when I read on Facebook that a police officer arrested Humboldt’s own clown extraordinaire, Shea Freelove, last week, I wasn’t sure what to think. But it was Halloween night. And Freelove was dressed, he later wrote me, as an explorer. Not a clown. Much less frightening. Here’s what happened, according to Freelove. He was on the Plaza, as were many other Halloween revelers, around midnight, when he thought he would saunter up to a police officer and engage in a conversation about the city’s new fire safety rules, which make it difficult for street performers, like Freelove, to use fire gadgets in their acts. The officer pushed

him away, almost knocking him down. Freelove came back later to ask the same question. An officer grabbed him by the throat, pinned his arm behind his back, handcuffed him and booked him into the Humboldt County Jail, under the name Shea Love Freedomhowler. There he sat for four hours, until released. Here is a guy who seems to live for entertaining people for very little money. You can’t live in this area for long without seeing his act. He performs for kids at the Arcata Farmer’s Market for free. But let’s put things into perspective. Last Halloween, the Plaza turned ugly. Apparently things were ugly this Halloween, as well. Police said they arrested some wacko who had an assault rifle around his neck and a magazine for it in his pocket. And in one of the many fights, someone got his ear cut off. Still, with armed crazies and severed ears, why would you bother with a clown like Freelove? I was in the Plaza earlier that day

walking my daughter from store to store so she could collect treats and show off the kangaroo costume I made her. (It is all about the pouch!) It seemed like Hokeytown, U.S.A. Except for the police. There were barricades around the Plaza’s inner circle. Police ringed President McKinley like Secret Service. The city stationed 36 officers and 15 cadets around and throughout the Plaza. We couldn’t walk up Eighth Street to get to our car parked on F Street. We had to walk around the bank because the police had the road closed off for the Critical Incident Response Vehicle, an impressive looking van the size of a small apartment. When you send out a message to the community to stay away, law-abiding people stay away. That leaves the troublemakers. Police get hyped up by their expectation of trouble. And people who aren’t there to cause trouble find themselves in the midst of it. It is a recipe for trouble. I find it troublesome that in Humboldt County, our governments reach for the pound of police presence as their ounce of prevention, particularly when the trouble is linked to some form of assembly. We have in this country the right to assemble. It is one of the five rights embedded in the First Amendment, along with speech, press, religion and petition.

of the courthouse last year, the county responded with police and criminal penalties. You will argue that people dressed up in Halloween costumes is not First Amendment protected speech or assembly, but it could be. On Oct. 26 dozens of community college students dressed as zombies “attacked” a crowd of people demonstrating in support of Prop. 30 to show what they thought would happen if the voters reject the funding measure. It is interesting that Freelove found himself on the ground and handcuffed after trying to engage an officer in a conversation about a new law. Couldn’t the officer have just humored him and said: “Hey man, I don’t pass the laws and I think the law sucks too”? Then Freelove would probably have blabbered for a while and staggered off. Does a dinky town like Arcata really need more than 40 police to protect people and property on Halloween? Bear in mind, I like police and I like laws. As a middle-aged, middle class white woman, my personal experiences with police have been all good. I think we need more laws. But couldn’t there have been a response that didn’t send such a militarized message? In big cities, when you send the message that a public place, like a park, is dangerous, the friendly people won’t go near it. Drug pushers, users and gangs then

make it their home. When you send the message that family-friendly activities will happen, scary people stay away because nothing frightens them more than familyfriendly activities. So I say police should be our last option, not our first response. Before we reach for the baton as a means of preventing violence, try instead something more benignly frightening. Bring out the Humboldt Harmonaires! Fill the center of the Plaza with 30 old men crooning barbershop songs. I guarantee you the troublemakers will flee. Bring out some accordion players and the guys with the didgeridoos. Imagine an army of fiddlers. Get those drunks to two-step or square dance and they’ll fall flat on their faces. You won’t have to worry about them till dawn. Get the whole crowd to line dance to “Achy Breaky Heart.” Break out the Abba. If that doesn’t work, send in the clowns. They’ll scare everyone away.

The light in John Tutuska recognized the light in so many Old Town denizens, and several dogs, over the past 20-plus years, they overflowed Clarke Street Plaza midmorning today as they gathered to bid him farewell.

At least 140 people came to Tutuska’s memorial — coffee slingers, office workers, shoppers, government workers, shopkeeps, poets, musicians, merchants, sidewalk witnesses, members of his “A Course in Miracles” group and more. Someone burned sage, another set up a table filled with spiritual writings and CDs by various artists. The table also held piles of what appeared to be Tutuska’s calling card with Church of the Eternal Now. It has a photo of Tutuska on it (a photo taken by the Journal) and a number to call “for all the answers, or to contact John Tutuska.” The number, alas, conjures a recording that says, “Refinance your mortgage and save” and offers a 900 number to call. (The card also suggests meditation for all of the answers or talking to John, so, that might be the better course right now.) Many who spoke at his memorial noted how he “was a devoted student” of “A Course in Miracles,” that he shared its ideas with everyone, and that he exuded a love that seemed specific to each person he met. One woman said he was especially fond of one of the course’s teachings that says there is no death. “We come from spirit and we will return to spirit,” she said. A few spoke of his more earthly life — boxer, wonderful cook, Giants fan. But most remembered him as being, as one woman put it, “the spiritual anchor to Old Town.” An older man, pointing up through the canopy of trees into the cloudy bright sky, said “There, there is the light.” Tutsuka, he said, was all around, still here.

in part a referendum on the controversial hospital director. (See results page 15.) The Southern Humboldt Community Healthcare District has been through a bankruptcy and bouts of heavy turnover, and now is in a heated election for three of the five seats on its board. Although his name doesn’t appear on the ballot, the race revolves in large part around Harry Jasper, the health care district’s combined CEO/CFA, now in his third year on the job. The current board is broadly supportive of Jasper, but that tight relationship may not last. Three of the six candidates for the district’s three open seats have criticized his performance. “He’s good at finances, but he has terrible people skills,” says Judi Gonzales, who’s running for a two-year seat left open by the April resignation of board member Mary Krissie Branzei. Gonzales, long an outspoken critic of Jasper, points to the dozens of longtime hospital employees who were laid off or who resigned since Jasper’s arrival in 2009, and to falling numbers of patient visits. Even his critics, Gonzales included, say that Jasper has turned the health care district’s finances around. After going through bankruptcy in the early 2000s, the district spent most of the last decade struggling to stay above water, even after the passage of a parcel tax to prop it up. One of the biggest problems has been that a large share of the district’s patients are low income, and pay for care with help from Medicare and Medical. That makes it difficult for the district to recoup the costs of running its emergency room. To stay fiscally health, Jasper and others have said, the district must keep track of every penny spent caring for those patients. While previous administrators struggled to get paid in full, Jasper, trained in both

finances and health care administration, has had success at tracking and getting paid for patient-care expenses. Revenue is up, and although it remains dependent on the parcel tax, the hospital is in the black for the first time in years. That’s earned Jasper the admiration of his employers on the current board of directors. “Harry is — so far what I’ve experienced — very professional, very thorough with what he’s doing in regards to maintaining the [district’s] fiscal health,” says Clif Anderson, the interim board member who holds the seat vacated by Branzei. Anderson took the seat in July and says that while he wasn’t aware of Jasper’s relationship with the district’s lower-level employees, he sat in on one department head meeting and liked what he saw. “I was very impressed at how well they work together,” he says. “I was impressed with his leadership abilities.” His critics say, though, that the apparent cohesion is only because Jasper has removed everyone who didn’t agree with him. Although turnover has always been high in the health care district, it almost doubled in the first two years after Jasper’s arrival, with many longtime employees among those leaving. “The thing that disturbs me most is the employee turnover,” says candidate Karen Ruth. She says as a board member, she would like to contact former employees and find out why they left. Personnel matters should be left to the chief executive, says Corrine Stromstad, an incumbent board member running for reelection. (The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors appointed Stromstad to the health care district board in 2010. She previously ran against and received fewer votes than Judi Gonzales.

Daylight Savings Clendenen said he couldn’t recall exactly why the board chose Stromstad over Gonzales.) “The only employee we [the board] have is Harry,” Stromstad says, and he has done wonders for the district’s financial health. As to why any particular person left or was fired, she says, “I really didn’t get involved in the how-come or whatfor.” “Oh, he is the only employee? Wow, what a concept,” says candidate Beth Bennett-Allen, referring to Stromstad’s comment. “No, they don’t have one employee and I think that may be at the base of the problem. There are many, many people there that are to be considered and protected.” Candidate David Ordonez could not be reached for comment. ● EDUCATION, ELECTIONS, POLITICS / BY RYAN BURNS / NOV. 1, 3:28 P.M.

Students Vote for Obama More than a thousand students from a dozen Humboldt County schools participated in a statewide student mock election, and the local voters of tomorrow preferred President Barack Obama to Republican challenger Mitt Romney by a landslide. Obama earned 58.1 percent of the vote (673 of 1,159) among participating students from local elementary, middle and high schools. Romney, by comparison, garnered just 20.2 percent of the vote. (The only local school to prefer Romney was Ferndale Elementary.) Statewide the results leaned even farther left: Obama 69.3 percent, Romney 23.5 percent. A press release from the Secretary of State’s Office describes the mock election

as “a hands-on civic engagement project that helps cultivate the voters of tomorrow.” Teachers were given resources and materials to make Election Day a “teachable moment,” the release states. What and who else did local students vote for? Dianne Feinstein, for one. The incumbent U.S. Senator earned 61.2 percent of the vote, with Republican challenger Elizabeth Emken getting the other 38.8 percent. Statewide it was Feinstein 65.6 percent, Emken 34.4 percent. We also tallied local students’ votes on a few ballot propositions and compared them with the statewide results. Likely the most significant ones for the students personally are propositions 30 and 38, the dueling tax-increase measures aimed at boosting education funding. Humboldt students liked them both but preferred 30, with 74.7 percent voting “yes” compared to Prop. 38’s 61.5 percent approval. Statewide results were similar, with both measures passing but Prop. 30 faring better. It earned 65.3 percent support compared to Prop. 38’s 55.9 percent. On the issue of labeling genetically engineered food, local students were all about it. More than 70 percent mock-voted in favor of Prop 37. Statewide the measure earned 63.6 percent support, which is better than recent polling suggests it will do among adults. How about the death penalty, you ask? Just over half of the local students (53.6 percent) voted not to repeal it. Statewide the issue was a real squeaker, with 49.84 percent supporting a ban on the death penalty and 50.16 voting to keep it in place. The complete, school-by-school results for the county can be viewed from a link on our website. ●

The drunken botanist

Spice Island cocktail with rosemary photo by Amy Stewart

Herbalicious By Amy Stewart

amystewart@northcoastjournal.com

t is with great excitement that I report to you on the arrival of a new gin, a gin that cannot even properly be called gin because its predominant flavor is not juniper but — are you ready? Sage. That’s right. Sage. It comes from the same clever people at Art in the Age who brought us Root, a liqueur inspired by traditional Pennsylvania Dutch recipes for root beer and birch bark beer. They also make a ginger liqueur called Snap and a rhubarb concoction called Rhubarb Tea, made in honor of early American botanist and friend of the founding fathers John Bartram. Intriguing, right? So now they’re doing Sage, a gin-like spirit created in honor of Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello garden and his horticulturist Bernard McMahon. McMahon was charged with growing out the seeds and plants collected by Lewis and Clark on their expedition and with cataloging those plants. Angelica, dandelion, fennel, rosemary, sumac, thyme and — of course — sage are all ingredients in the drink. Now, these dead-garden-celebrity endorsements might be a bit of a stretch —

it’s not as if Thomas Jefferson and Bernard McMahon wrote out a recipe for sage gin and hid it in the basement until its exciting discovery earlier this year — but I do admire the spirit of the whole enterprise. Anytime botanists get a little credit for their work, that’s a good thing. And I’m wildly excited about these savory flavors ending up in a cocktail. So let’s run through some of the more piquant herbs you might grow for cocktails. In every case, remember that fresh leaves taste quite a bit different from dried leaves. You might hear that the flavor is more “concentrated” in dried leaves, but that isn’t quite accurate: In fact, as the leaves are dried some of the more volatile flavor compounds evaporate, which usually means that the brighter floral, citrus and menthol notes drift away while the warmer, woodsier flavors remain. That’s why I prefer fresh leaves in a drink, but let your own taste guide you. Sage: The sage to grow is Salvia officinalis, often sold as common sage, garden sage or culinary sage. You’ll see burgundy, gold and variegated varieties sold in garden centers, but if you’re serious about growing this plant for its flavor, stick with

12 North Coast Journal • Thursday, Nov. 8, 2012 • northcoastjournal.com

the ordinary silvery-blue variety. I like a cultivar called “Grower’s Friend” because it rarely blooms. The level of essential oil drops after blooming — this is true of many herbs — so pinching back flower buds becomes a chore if you want more leaves for cooking and cocktailing. Plant sage in full sun or afternoon shade, and don’t fuss too much over the soil — it actually tastes better if it’s grown in lean, sandy, dry soil. It’s hardy to about 0 degrees F, and with a glass cloche or some other kind of frost protection it might even tolerate lower winter temps. In spring, wait until you see new leaves unfurling, then cut the old, dead wood down to where the new growth is starting. Sage is not a long-lived plant — you’ll want to replace it after about four years. Oh, and it’s particularly good in tequila drinks. Rosemary: If you live in our mild West Coast climate, rosemary is practically a weed. Just buy a plant and stick it in the ground and you’ll have it forever. In fact, it takes temperatures below about minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit to kill it. Look for the upright form of rosemary, not the trailing groundcover variety. The favorites among chefs are “Tuscan Blue” with its wide, aromatic leaves, “Roman Beauty,” a compact variety bred to have higher essential oil content (also sold as “Chef’s Choice”) and “Arp,” which is the most cold hardy of the bunch. If you’re really crazy about rosemary, “Spice Island” was once grown for commercial production and reaches 6 feet tall. The plant needs practically no care — just give it full sun, minimal water, and clip it to whatever shape you please. Rosemary and watermelon are surprisingly good together in tequila-based drinks. Thyme: Many varieties of thyme have been bred to work as groundcovers rather than as culinary herbs, so look for Thymus vularis, also sold as common thyme, if you’re after flavor. The citrusy T. citriodorus “Aureus” is another good choice. Both are hardy to about minus 15 F. They prefer sun but will tolerate light shade and don’t require much water or rich soil. The tiny leaves of thyme can be stripped off the stem, but in a cocktail, you’re better off just throwing the whole sprig in the shaker. Add thyme to any cocktail that calls for grapefruit. Savory: I’m referring here to winter savory, Satureja montana, not summer savory, S. hortensis. The summer type is used in fresh salads and sandwiches and is perhaps more comparable to parsley or lovage. Put that in a drink if you want to; I’m not going to stop you. But I’m talking

here about the winter type, which is a tough, woody, perennial herb more similar to rosemary. Give it sun or light shade, ordinary soil and just a little water. Use savory in drinks mixed with tomatoes or red peppers. Oregano: This herb has also been bred for its looks as well as its flavor, so choose carefully. In the garden center, just brush the leaves and see if the fragrance works for you as a food or drink ingredient. Origanum vulgare is the most common culinary species: the subspecies O. vulgare hirtum, called Greek oregano, is popular among chefs. “Jim Best” is a yellowleaved variety also grown for its flavor. Other species you might experiment with include O. dictamnus, also known as Dittany of Crete or hop marjoram, and two other marjorams, O. majorana and O x majoricum. All have similarly spicy, savory flavors. Try smashing oregano and cucumber together in the cocktail shaker, and then mix a dry martini with it. Tarragon: Because of its mint and anise flavors, tarragon makes an interesting cocktail ingredient. You’re looking for Artemisia dracunculus — and yes, absinthe drinkers, this is, in fact, a relative of wormwood, the artemisia species that flavors absinthe. Give it sun and soil on the dry side and protect it from temperatures below about minus 20 F. Try crushing a little tarragon into a mint julep for a spicier version. Here’s a simple gin drink (substitute vodka if you must) that will get you experimenting with herbs in simple syrup. It’s a popular cocktail that goes by many names; I’m naming it after a rosemary cultivar. Spice Island 1.5 oz gin (or try the new Sage from Art in the Age) .5 oz lemon juice .5 oz rosemary simple syrup Club soda Rosemary for garnish To make rosemary simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water in a pan along with several springs of chopped leaves. Bring to a boil so the sugar dissolves, then allow to cool and infuse for at least 45 minutes. Strain before using. Combine the first three ingredients in a cocktail shaker and shake over ice. Strain into a tumbler filled with ice, top with club soda and garnish with a sprig of rosemary. l

With Prop. 30 taking a strong lead, healthier budget could help education By Heidi Walters

heidiwalters@northcoastjournal.com

he governor can put away his bundle of knives now: The voters have passed Proposition 30. Across the golden state, school officials are heaving great, complicated sighs of relief. As of 5:25 a.m. Wednesday, the measure crafted by Gov. Jerry Brown and supported by the two major teachers unions had captured 54 percent of the votes. And that means the governor’s threatened $6 billion in “trigger cuts” from the 2012-13 state budget — cuts that would have been triggered by rejection of Prop. 30, that is — will not take place. Most of the cut would have come out of the state general fund account reserved for schools, but about $600 million of it would have come out of state funds allocated to fire and water safety, law enforcement, parks and natural resource services. Prop. 30 changes the California constitution to raise personal income tax rates by between 1 and 3 percent on incomes above $250,000 for seven years. And it raises the sales tax rate by a quarter cent per dollar for four years. (So, maybe some of the high-income folks aren’t celebrating, especially since the tax rate increase is retroactive to January 2012. And maybe the anti-more-taxes people are chafing at the state getting more tax money instead of, as they see it, being

forced into better money management.) Most of the roughly $6 billion a year to be generated by these tax increases will be used to begin paying back some of the money the governor has borrowed for years from a schools-specific account. The proposition also guarantees continued state funding to counties to pay for certain state programs that were handed off to local governments recently — including handling low-level offenders as part of prison realignment. It’s true Prop. 30 doesn’t add “new” money to school coffers. But the folks who advocated for Prop. 30 were motivated less by any riches it offers than by the continued and deepening hardships promised if it didn’t pass. Those trigger cuts. In Humboldt County, up to $7 million would have been lopped from K-12 state funding; up to $1.6 million would have been cut from College of the Redwoods — triggering, in response, a reduction in the enrollment cap by 346 full-time equivalent students; and up to $5 million would have been cut from Humboldt State University — prompting, in response, a 5 percent resident and 7 percent nonresident tuition hike. Instead, some of our local institutions can look for a slight slowdown in the amount the state plucks each year from that school-specific revenues account. But Prop. 30’s not a complete fix. Last week, as the election neared and Prop. 30 wobbled in the polls, Humboldt County Superintendent of Schools Garry Eagles said if the measure passed he would, of course, be taking a deep breath to say, “Thank goodness the cuts aren’t going to be any deeper.” He might, he said, even celebrate post-election with an extra martini, knowing he won’t have to lay off anyone because of budget concerns and that some of his districts — such as Northern Humboldt

Local Ballot Measures

Union High School District — won’t have to trim the school year by five days next year as they’d been preparing to do if the measure failed. “But I know the system isn’t perfect, either,” Eagles said. “The bill doesn’t go far enough.” Prop. 30 monies will barely begin to mitigate for the roughly $100 million by which the state has underfunded Humboldt County schools in the past five years, either by delaying guaranteed payments or flat-out withholding money to use for other purposes, Eagles said. At Humboldt State University, meanwhile, staff is preparing to roll back the 9.1 percent tuition increase implemented earlier this year. A happy, but not necessarily easy, task. “The logistics of something like that is frankly boggling,” said Robert Snyder, vice president of academic affairs, last week. “We will have to issue credit or refund checks. We will have to recalculate financial packages.” Students will each be credited or refunded $249. Some might have their financial aid packages reconfigured. California State University Chancellor Charles B. Reed, in the meantime, has announced that across the system enrollments might rise a bit next fall, as university staff begins reviewing applications that had been put on hold until after the election. (Fewer students would be accepted had Prop. 30 failed.) At College of the Redwoods, officials are expecting passage of Prop. 30 to bring in an extra $222,720, said Vice President Lee Lindsey. The state also will pay the college $1 million of the $5 million it owes in late and deferred funding. And CR will be able to raise its enrollment cap by 49 full-time equivalent students. ●

Lashing Out at Grow Houses

Arcata’s tax could be the start of a broader attack, waged though utility bills By Carrie Peyton Dahlberg

carrie@northcoastjournal.com

rcata could be starting something big. Its anti-grow electricity tax is being watched as a pioneering model for not just the city of Eureka but for all of unincorporated Humboldt County. Arcata voters were strongly backing the tax, by 69 percent to 31 percent, in the latest counts Wednesday morning, with only a majority vote needed for approval. Some provisional and hand-delivered mail-in ballots remained to be tallied. And while the last votes for Measure I are added up, everyone will be watching. For Eureka, whose city council voted unanimously in September to study a similar tax for a 2014 vote, Arcata can be a living laboratory. If there are legal challenges over privacy or other issues, Eureka can see how they are sorted out, while being still poised to prevent a “domino effect,” said Eureka Councilwoman Linda Atkins. She brought the issue to her city earlier this fall, worried that unless Eureka acted defensively, growers pinched by the tax would abandon Arcata and resettle to the south. Or they could head north — maybe

to McKinleyville, or other unincorporated areas? That’s one reason Humboldt County should at least think about a similar tax for the entire unincorporated area it oversees, said Supervisor Mark Lovelace, who plans to ask fellow board members to hear a presentation on what Arcata’s doing. So far, Lovelace hasn’t been hearing from people worried that their communities will have to absorb Arcata’s rejects — but he is hearing that a hefty tax might just be a good idea. “This measure is not a sin tax on marijuana at all. If it’s a sin tax, it’s a sin tax on excessive energy consumption,” Lovelace said. “To see people being so wasteful and doing such abuse of electricity consumption is frustrating.” With Arcata paving the way, some have speculated that Eureka and Humboldt might be able to impose a new tax with lower startup costs. Pacific Gas and Electric Co. estimated it would charge Arcata around $600,000 to create a system for collecting the tax. It’s too early to say whether that would be cheaper for other continued on page 17

jurisdictions once the groundwork has been laid for Arcata, said PG&E spokeswoman Brittany McKannay. If the final count confirms that Arcata’s tax has passed, it would go into effect as soon as PG&E is able to collect it. Arcata Mayor Michael Winkler figures that will take about six months. The tax would only affect the heftiest of power users — those who use six times the “baseline” amount that utility regulators have long established as a way to keep rates low for light electricity users. (Baseline consumption costs less per kilowatt hour, and after that electric rates go up in tiers, higher and higher as use increases.) On top of that tiered system, Arcata will slap a 45 percent tax on all electricity use above 600 percent of the baseline, which fluctuates by season, by region, and by whether a house is heated with gas or electricity. As soon as the results are final, Winkler said, the council will sit down with the city’s budget director to allocate funds for startup costs. Then comes the fun part — the council gets to start talking about how to spend the money. Back when it was considering the tax, PG&E told Arcata that about 600 of the 10,000 electric meters in Arcata rack up enough to be taxed, and unless those people cut their consumption — or just up and move — revenue could be around $1.2 million annually. “The city’s budget is on the order of $30 million, so it’s not a huge fraction of the budget. But a lot of the money is really locked in,” Winkler said, so this could be a pretty good discretionary chunk. The vote came as no surprise to Winkler, who’d been hearing from constituents that they were eager to find new tools against people who wrested houses from their normal uses. A poll overseen by Humboldt State University professor Mark Larson in late October found Arcata’s Measure I was well ahead, favored by 62.6 percent of likely voters, with 23.2 percent against and 15.2 percent undecided. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.5 percentage points, Larson said, giving the tax a comfortable lead. The anti-grow sentiments also ring strong beyond Arcata. While Eureka councilwoman Atkins supports medical marijuana use, she says she’s disgusted with growers who fill a house with plants, wrecking homes, disrupting neighborhoods and driving up rents. “In Eureka, our Victorian houses are priceless, and having them turn into firetraps is not good,” she said. l

“What are the feds gonna do?” he asked. “Are they gonna roll tanks into Colorado and Washington and say, ‘No, your laws cannot violate our laws’? … There’s going to have to be an accommodation, and it’s not going to be a legal accommodation; it’s going to be a political and a social accommodation.” (An Oregon legalization measure failed on Election Day, but few are willing to draw any conclusions from that one, because it was widely criticized as being poorly written.) In the meantime, Humboldt County residents are left wondering what this means for our local marijuana industry, which has been valued in excess of $2 billion annually. Medical marijuana makes up a tiny fraction of that amount, but local industry advocates hope that this week’s votes in Washington and Colorado will give California legislators firmer ground to stand on. Kristin Nevedal is chair of the Emerald Growers Association, a coalition of medical marijuana advocates in Humboldt and Mendocino counties promoting sustainably grown outdoor cannabis. Frustrated by California’s county-by-county patchwork approach to regulating the industry, Nevedal is now optimistic that statewide regulation will be politically viable. “I suspect legalization [elsewhere] will create a little more of a safe-feeling political environment for our state’s legislators,” she said. Dispensaries in Colorado have sprouted like, well, weeds, with more than 200 of them in Denver alone. But federal agents have largely left those operations alone while cracking down on dispensaries in California. Nevedal believes that’s because Colorado, unlike California, has a comprehensive statewide regulatory system. Earlier this year in Californa, state Assemblyman Tom Ammiano (D-San Francisco) withdrew a bill that aimed to establish such a system after it was scoffed at and burdened with amendments. Nevedal also hopes that bringing the industry into the sunshine will help educate people about the superiority of sustainable outdoor cultivation. “Patients continued on next page

have not had the opportunity to be really well educated because we’re in a prohibition era,” she said. The federal government forbids laboratory studies of marijuana, and so the Food and Drug Administration hasn’t tested the plant’s tolerance levels for pesticides, fungicides and additives like nitrogen and phosphorous. But what about the other side of the industry, the black market? Professor Beth Wilson, the chair of HSU’s economics department, said it’s impossible to know for sure what the impacts will be, but certain economic principles could help with an educated guess. “I think that our market is, well, certainly national,” she said. “I grew up in Chicago and I remember people having Humboldt pot.” Like any export product, weed is subject to the law of supply and demand. If legalization serves to boost production in Washington and Colorado, as analysts have predicted it will, Wilson said she would expect to see marijuana prices drop nationwide. This would be bad news for locals making their living from pot, but it would also disrupt drug cartels. A study released last week by a respected Mexican think tank estimated that legalization in any U.S. state would cut Mexican drug cartels’ earnings in the U.S. by as much as 30 percent, according to the Washington Post. The study theorized that a state with legal weed could become a major producer for the nation, growing quality marijuana on the cheap and supplying illicit flows to other states. If competition expands, Humboldt County growers could be in trouble. Our county has good name recognition and an established support industry, Wilson said, but “I don’t believe that we have any advantage in terms of our soil or things that can’t be moved — our terroir, if you will.” Such market-based concerns are beside the point for Ellen Komp, deputy director of California’s branch of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML). During the nonprofit’s 40-year history, politicians have consistently argued that the public isn’t ready for legalization. Now, Komp said, “Those arguments are out the window.” Anthony, the Oakland attorney, expects a domino effect. “It’s the beginning of the end for the black market,” he said. “I think that we’ll see the California Legislature take some kind of statewide action to regulate and clarify medical marijuana. Not to mention there will be a huge push, both in the legislature and by initiative, to pursue adult-use legalization either in 2014 or 2016.”

ued as Obama kept racking up states and those Electoral College votes. Bonino’s event across town at Babetta’s was more subdued. Anticipating the late hour that local election results usually start rolling in, the gathering was scheduled to start at 8:30 p.m. — well after the presidential suspense had been played out. The man of the hour, looking debonair in a blazer, tie and bright red, white and blue starred scarf, chatted cordially with supporters and guests. “You want some pizza?” he offered one reporter who failed to resist. “Pepperoni or sausage?” The earliest results, released as the polls closed, showed Bonino with an early lead that he seemed to take in stride. “I walked most of the city and got a pretty positive response,” he said. “I feel like my message resonated with people.” If there were any question about the rift that exists on the current Eureka City Council, note that all four of Atkins’ fellow council members were in attendance at Ba-

betta’s Tuesday night. Roll call? That would be Marian Brady, Mike Newman, Lance Madsen and Melinda Ciarabellini. All of them came to the party directly from Eureka’s City Council meeting. “I didn’t like how she used pictures of the council in some of her ads,” councilmember Newman said, listing his colleague’s latest transgression. “She took credit for doing a lot of things. I understand she’s campaigning but it’s a team effort.” Newman had heard that President Obama won reelection as he was coming out of the council meeting earlier in the evening. While he might have preferred a different outcome, he remained positive. “God’s in control. He knows what He’s doing,” he said. Also in attendance was freshly forged supervisor Rex Bohn, who has been a vocal public supporter of Bonino, a man he’s known for over two decades. Bohn rejected the notion — put forward by Atkins’ supporters — that having a fifth conservative voice on the council would be a bad thing.

“You want to have a cohesive city council. I think they can all be friends,” he said. “They have a great council now … except for Newman.” The named council member, well in earshot, briefly looked up from checking election results on his phone and chuckled. Brady, too, looked to poke holes in the conventional wisdom that Atkins’ is the council’s needed dissenting voice. “I have voted the same number of times against the majority as she has!” Brady said. “How does that make her the independent vote?” Bohn left early, noting that he’d promised Carolyn Crnich, the county’s registrar of voters, that he’d drop by later to see if the office needed any help. Maybe she’d have him go pick up some ballots. “Seems like an archaic system, doesn’t it?” he said with a smile. The evening progressed back at Atkinsland. The first report from the county elections office had Atkins down by 50 votes, but when the local media descended on Dem headquarters she calmly told first KHUM DJ John Mathews and then KIEM TV’s Dana Griffin that she wasn’t worried — those are just the absentee ballots, which tend to break conservative. Chatting with a supporter, Atkins characterized her opponent’s backers as a well-oiled pro-development machine. “They piled so much money into this [election],” she said. “This is a test to see if we could do it all grassroots and still beat those guys.” The next Eureka City Council will have some important tasks to handle, including hiring a new city manager and a new

police chief, as well as updating the city’s general plan. Pam Service, a member of the Humboldt County Democratic Central Committee, said that while Atkins is already outnumbered on many issues, her presence on the council is important. “It’s just a city council race; the world won’t end. But Eureka will change without a voice of dissent,” Service said. As the evening wore on, people started heading home and the buzz started to wear off. Shortly before 10 p.m., Atkins sat down at an abandoned laptop next to a TV that was being half-watched by a couple of people. She called up the county’s election office website and clicked the button to refresh the results. No news. “It’s gonna be a long night,” she said to no one in particular. And it was. When the second report came in at 10:09, Atkins went from 50 votes down to 66 votes up — a tenuous lead with fewer than half of the county’s precincts reporting. Back at Babetta’s, someone handed the challenger a small slip of paper with scrawled second wave of results called in from the election office. The candidate initially took the numbers as good news — “Wowie! All right!” — until a supporter clarified. “We’re down.” “Oh. Uh oh, that’s not good,” he said. “Well, we’ve got a long way to go.” “What’s an under vote?” unopposed city council candidate Melidna Ciarabellini wondered aloud while analyzing her numbers. “Is continued on next page

continued from previous page that when people don’t vote at all?” (A good number of Eurekans decided to leave her box uncolored.) “Because they know you’re going to win anyway,” Brady reassured her. (Plus, those boxes take forever to fill in with a ballpoint pen, amirite?) Brady confessed that she probably took longer than the 12 minutes allowed by the spot she parked in when she visited her polling place earlier in the day. The crowd slowly petered out. With the race seemingly too close to call as the 11 o’clock hour approached, Bonino paid his tab and got ready to leave. “Kennedy didn’t stay up late to see his election results either,” the candidate said in parting. “He went to bed an average citizen and woke up president. So I’m in good company.” In Wednesday morning’s wee-est hours, the county board of elections filed its final report. With all local precincts reporting, Atkins appeared to be squeaking toward a win — 3,935 boxes filled in for the incumbent (50.75 percent) to 3,727 for the challenger Bonino (48.07 percent), and just 35 votes for write-in candidate Charles Bean. Countywide, more than 7,000 votes remained to be counted, but it was unclear how many of them were left in Eureka. Barring a swap, Kennedy stands alone.

Relaxed Reelection With no opponents, incumbents kick back in Arcata By Scottie Lee Meyers

ellow, all of it: The soft lullaby music from the gypsyjazz quartet of strings, the red-bulbed lighting, the soft cushioned seats, the low key comfort food, the deep red wines and dark beers. Nerves didn’t need calming at the election gathering at the Arcata Playhouse Tuesday night. Palms were wet from the condensation of drinks, not clammy from nervous watching, waiting, counting.

The mood perfectly matched the demeanor of Arcata’s three, newly reelected incumbent council members, Mayor Michael Winkler, Vice Mayor Shane Brinton and Susan Ornelas, who all ran unopposed. Their reelection was made easy after three would-be challengers failed to qualify for the ballot, unable to collect a mere 20 signatures from Arcata voters by the Aug. 10 deadline. You could say the incumbents cruised to victory on that August day.

“I felt like if you can’t get 20 signatures, try, Availableyou ondidn’t newsstands and you’re probably not a very serious candidate,” Ornelas all over Humboldt said. A contested race is always good for democracy, she said, but she saved time and money this way. No need for County, at your favorite yard signs. About 40 people gathered inside the merchants theater, much and like green they would in a big living room, to munch on snacks and online at The watch election results trickle in on a giant24/7 projector. results were encouraging. “It looks very good, from local to northcoastjournal.com, national,” Winkler said. Without having to focus on the Arcatathe council race, the under Special attendees — who included Humboldt County Supervisor Mark Lovelace and Arcata council member Alex tab. Stillman — Publications instead turned their attention to Eureka’s city council race and California’s initiatives. “How about 30? 32? And 37?” they free asked, as if it were a deli service line. But most eyes were on Measure I, Arcata’s grow tax, aimed to drive growers out of the area, or at least get them to pay more taxes for heavy electricity consumption. It was taking a strong lead. All in all, it was one of those election nights when just about everything goes right. It’s nice to have it so easy, said the incumbents, but it wasn’t always this way. All three have battled hard in previous elections to earn their seats. Now humboldt county’s they easily keep them for another four years. comprehensive

MONEY ART BY DONOVAN CLARK

Bucking the System

Donovan Clark’s money-art at Missing Link Records By Jason Marak

n these times of economic uncertainty, money is on everyone’s mind. Actually, it doesn’t really matter if times are good or bad, the power of money is a constant in our society. And we don’t just use it to buy burgers and beer. All too often it is the yardstick by which we measure an individual’s value, his or her worth to society. In the words of philosopher Cyndi Lauper, “Money changes everything.” Even the art world often seems slave to the almighty dollar with artists trying to turn their art into cold, hard cash. Enter local artist Donovan Clark and his new exhibition, “Adding Value to Money,” at Missing Link Records in Arcata. In a refreshing reversal, he’s turning cold, hard cash into art. Clark uses one-dollar bills as canvases, creating small works that often include popular culture icons. The Hulk, R2D2 and Tupac Shakur make appearances among many others. Trompe l’oeil imagery is also incorporated into the images and patterns already on the bills. The resulting works are fun, visually interesting pieces that challenge us to reconsider our cash-obsessed notions of value. First things first: Yes, it’s legal. Probably. “I’m walking a thin line,” said Clark in response to questions of legality. “I’m covering up the president and changing the imagery, but I haven’t changed it completely [to] where you can’t recognize it as a dollar.” Based on Clark’s reading of the law, the fact that his money-art pieces are still clearly dollar bills and the denomination has not been altered should be

enough to keep him out of trouble. Clark doesn’t mind that his works walk a line between art and criminal act. He even attributes some of the positive response he’s had to his money-art project to the fact that, like graffiti, the element of illegality actually makes the work feel edgier and draws people to it. The money-art project got its start where so many things do, at the laundromat. When a change machine wouldn’t take Clark’s dollar bill, he noticed that someone had done a rough, ballpoint pen drawing of Batman on the bill. It got Clark thinking about possibilities. “I thought, how far can I take this money-art thing?” he said. “I’d seen lots of people draw on money before but I’d never seen anyone do little paintings on the dollars.” Clark, one of the founding members of the local art collective Empire Squared, was already interested in the idea of free art and sharing art with the public in nontraditional ways. His money-art project provided him with another outlet to do just that. “I started using the dollars as tips,” Clark explained. “When I get a cup of coffee, I just put it in the tip jar. I felt like that would be a really cool surprise … to get a dollar with a nice painting on it instead of just a regular dollar. So that’s what I’ve been doing with most of them — using them as tips when I get breakfast.” From the looks of it, the art-tips are much appreciated. Clark said that several local businesses have started taking the bills out of tip jars and displaying them for patrons to enjoy. You might see some of

Clark’s bills the next time you visit places like Café Brio, Wildberries and Ramone’s. Because many of the money-art pieces do end up “in circulation,” Clark has been cataloging them on various social media sites to keep a record and as another avenue to share the work. As a result, an element of interactivity entered into the project. Clark said that several of the pieces he’s done have been inspired by ideas from his Twitter followers. The fact that the project has sparked this kind of dialog between artist and audience is something Clark seems to relish. As the project progressed and gained recognition, Clark started keeping some bills to show in a more traditional manner. Several bills were displayed as part of an Empire Squared group show at Piante Gallery in Eureka earlier in the year, but the Missing Link exhibition represents his first solo money-art show. And yes, the bills will be for sale. “I’m not opposed to making money off of my art,” Clark said wryly, “but that’s definitely not why I’m doing it. I’m more interested in the idea of sharing my art.” “Adding Value to Money” will be on display at Missing Link Records in Arcata (1073 H. St.) from Nov. 9 until Dec. 7. There will be a dollar-themed opening from 6-9 p.m. on Nov. 9, with music and snacks in conjunction with Arts! Arcata. For a preview, search out Clark’s money-art online at the following sites: www.donovanclark.blogspot.com, donovanclark.tumblr.com, donovanclark. deviantart.com and www.twitter.com/ money_art. ●

Over the past century Sherlock Holmes has not been long absent from stage or screen, but he’s currently everywhere, from a motion picture franchise (with Robert Downey, Jr.) to a new CBS television series (Elementary, which I deduce will not last long). And that’s apart from Holmes mutations on The Mentalist and Law and Order: Criminal Intent. But he’s making perhaps his biggest international splash with the BBC-originated Sherlock, which has produced six TV films of 90 minutes each, all now on DVD. Another three go into production early next year. While the Downey features are set in the 1890s of the original stories, they are more steampunk than Arthur Conan Doyle. The BBC films are set in contemporary London, but they make more use of the original plots. Both of their Sherlocks are younger than usually seen, but so is the Holmes of the first Conan Doyle stories: He’s in his 20s. The BBC series is the brainchild of Steven Moffatt and Mark Gatiss, both known primarily for their association with Doctor Who. They are self-confessed Sherlock scholars who know the 60 Conan Doyle stories down to the geekiest details. Their films are full of references, mix and match plot elements and inside jokes — perfect for Sherlockian DVD obsessives. Yet they manage to make the characters and events convincingly contemporary. This is easily the most stylish version yet. Its Sherlock is a contemporary take on the classic character (Benedict Cumberbatch, inspired by Jeremy Brent’s interpretation for Granada television) but its Doctor Watson is singular, as played by Martin Freeman. Though troubled — like Doyle’s Watson, he’s just returned from service in Afghanistan — he is the anchor for these stories. There’s plenty of humor, but not (as in other portrayals) at Watson’s expense. And the relationship is complex but fun. (Before Holmes is to give court testimony: “Don’t be a smartass, Sherlock.” “I’ll just be myself.” “Have you been listening to me?”) The stories range from the fairly obscure (“Study in Scarlet,” Conan Doyle’s first, but rarely dramatized) to the most famous ones in Series Two. Those feature the only woman to impress Sherlock (Doyle’s adventuress reimagined as a dominatrix), the hound of the Baskervilles and a version of “The Final Problem,” in which Holmes confronts his arch-enemy Moriarty (a chilling 21st century villain) and dies. The original story’s fans had to wait years to learn he hadn’t really died, but Sherlock appears mysteriously alive at the end of this series. How did he cheat death? That’s in the next series. The DVD provides endless opportunities to look for clues. I found four. Possibly five. — William Kowinski

MOUNTAIN LION

CEMENT ARTIST JOHN KING SAYS HE THINKS DEEP THOUGHTS AND CONTEMPLATES THE ORIGINS OF THE LIFE ON EARTH WHILE HE’S WORKING ON HIS ART. “THE ATOMS THAT MAKE UP EVERYTHING IN THE UNIVERSE CAME FROM THE SURROUNDING STARS THAT BLEW AWAY FRAGMENTS AND DUST THAT SWIRLED INTO PLANET FORMING EDDIES,” HE WRITES IN AN ARTIST STATEMENT FOR HIS NEXT OPENING. “THE WONDERFUL THING IS THAT EVERYTHING IN OUR EXISTENCE, FROM ROCKS TO PLANTS, ARE MADE UP OF THE SAME TYPE OF ATOMS. THEY ARE JUST ARRANGED IN DIFFERENT WAYS.” KING’S SKILL IS IN ARRANGING THE ATOMS AND MOLECULES THAT MAKE UP CEMENT TO CREATE PLEASING FORMS, OFTEN DEPICTING PLANTS AND ANIMALS IN BAS RELIEF. AN EXHIBITION OF HIS CEMENT ART IS ON DISPLAY DURING NOVEMBER AT THE UMPQUA BANKS’ UPSTAIRS GALLERY IN ARCATA. YOU CAN MEET KING AND ASK HIM DEEP QUESTIONS AT A RECEPTION FOR THE ARTIST FRIDAY, 6-9 P.M. DURING ARTS! ARCATA.

he Old Town Bar and Grill reunion at Humboldt Brews a couple of years ago brought together musicians and music fans from near and far. Among them, the soulful Bishop Mayfield, who was part of the Humboldt music scene from the ‘70s through the ‘00s. “I was in all kinds of bands: Straight Shot, Two Weeks Notice, Wild Child, 911, To the Bone, Flex,” he recalled in a phone call from his current home in Central Point, Ore. At the reunion he was talking with guitarist Dave Storie, another former local who led the band Commotion back in the day, and realized they were almost neighbors — both live in Oregon’s Jackson County. The result: Mayfield now sings for The Dave Storie Band. This Friday being Bishop’s 68th birthday, he decided BISHOP MAYFIELD to celebrate here in Humboldt with a blues and soul bash at Blue Lake Casino’s Sapphire Palace. Joining him for the occasion, another local soul/ blues veteran Earl Thomas (backed by Storie’s band) and a reconstituted Vintage Rock N’ Soul. Wait until you hear that band’s new vocalist Dee Hemingway — she’s got soul to spare. His name, KRS-One, is an acronym for “Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everybody.” The Brooklyn-born rapper also known as “The Teacha” drops some knowledge at the Arcata Theatre Lounge Thursday night with Nappy Roots, Gobi and the proverbial “special guests.” Thursday’s “Onward and Upward” show at the Jambalaya is a fundraiser for folky songwriter Caitlin Jemma‘s next CD. Her friends Gunsafe and Lela Roy are down with the cause. Kentucky born and raised indie-

folk cellist Ben Sollee stops by Humboldt Brews Friday with his trio to play tunes from his latest album, Half-Made Man, a merger of folk with classical and alt. rock (and plentiful cello). Friday’s all vinyl ‘80s Dance Party at the Jambalaya has DJ Red, Zephyr, King Maxwell and Jaymorg spinning new wave, rap, synth-pop, etc. It’s sad that they’re necessary, but benefits to cover medical bills have become a regular thing. Saturday in the Eureka Inn Ballroom, friends of Matt L’Herogan gather for a “fun raiser” to help pay for a lung transplant. The fun starts at 6:30 p.m. with jazz by Pete Zuleger, Bob Ebenstein and Val Leone, moves on to Hawaiian music and hula by Lost Coasters Kanikapila Band, then a solo uke set by Joey Koches from UKEsperience. Guitarist Angel Vargas and his dancer friend Ku-Hsiang Lin offer some flamenco starting around 8 p.m. followed by The Joyce Hough Quartet (9ish) and, last but not least, guitarist Doug Shernock and bassist Gary Davidson from Play Dead and friends sharing some classic G-Dead tunes. Silent auction: check. Beer, wine, snacks: check. Friends who care: most definitely. Earlier that Saturday friends of the late Jimmy Dangler will gather at Beginnings Octagon to pay tribute to the cigarchomping sound man with stories, beer, barbecue and birthday cake. DJ Selecta Prime supplies a reggae-ish soundtrack. You might remember saxophonist Jessica Lurie from her days with the jazz/ jam band Living Daylights. Her latest combo, The Jessica Lurie Ensemble, takes her in a few other directions on a new

release, Megaphone Heart. Lurie jumps from sax to flute, accordion and vocals, while Brandon Seabrook shifts between guitar and banjo, and the always-awesome Allison Miller lays down rhythms on melodic tunes that defy easy categorization. Good stuff. Catch the band Saturday when a West Coast tour brings them to the Arcata Playhouse. Motherlode guitarist/founder Greg Camphuis describes the interaction of the 10-piece funk/Afrobeat combo as “organized chaos.” That may be, but it’s also extremely funky. The band is at the Jambalaya Saturday night. Same Saturday at the Alibi: a double bill with two of my favorite local bands, The Trouble and Strix Vega. World Famous presents another night of bottom heavy EDM Saturday at the Arcata Theatre Lounge with Philly-based producer Starkey, Kastle from Pittsburg and young Ital Tek from Brighton, UK. Rudi Galindo of Teatro Pachuco is back in town for a Clowns Without Borders benefit Friday night at the Arcata Playhouse. Joining him are Shea Freelove, silk artist Leslie Howabauten, Lisa DaBoit, Jackie Dandeneau and David Ferney. (Since Ferney and Galindo were both in Los Payasos Mendigos, there just might be some striped tights action — “Listo!”) The Westhaven Center’s monthly Humboldt Talent Showcase turns toward the blues Friday night with Sandy Flippin on harp and Keith Schneider on guitar, plus Eclectica, Jasmine and a blues jam to close the night. Same Friday, the bluesy Jim Lahman Band plays a benefit at the Eureka Veteran’s Hall for Eureka High’s NJROTC. More blues at the Riverwood Saturday night with ace vocalist/harp player John Németh fronting a hot band. The Humboldt Folklife Society has a pair of concerts coming up at the Arcata Playhouse: Sunday it’s songwriter, guitarist, fiddler, banjo and mandolin picker Chris Brashear with his old friend Peter McLaughlin, a national flatpicking guitar champion. While he’s better known for his instrumental prowess, Brashear’s new album, Heart of the Country, features his songwriting. “I never set a course to become a songwriter,” he says in a note on his website. “But I saw the ocean, stood on top of the mountain, smelled the dust, ate the olive oil, held on to family memories and, at some point, these things started showing up as songs.” Then on Tuesday HFS presents Irish supergroup Lunasa at the Playhouse. This band headlines major festivals and is very influential right now in Celtic circles, according to deejay George Ziminsky (host of “From Cool Green Shores” on KMUD). The main innovation is the role of Trevor

Hutchinson‘s double bass, unusual in Irish music, at least until now. For a preview of Tuesday’s show, tune in Ziminsky’s show on Monday at 8 p.m. — he’ll be interviewing the band on the air. BTW, it’s also pledge drive time on KMUD. Give ‘em some money if you can; the station needs it. On the reggae front you have British dancehall/reggae star Gappy Ranks at Nocturnum Friday with The 7th St. Band and Seattle-based Bobby Hustle backed by Tripple Crown plus Humboldt’s own Rude Lion. Sunday at the Ocean Grove (aka Club More Fyah) Bonus Productions presents Tanya Stephens. Don’t expect a protest. Stephens is a vocal proponent of socially responsible reggae who complained to a crowd at the University of the West Indies, “The music that once spoke to and spread messages of peace and love, now merely judges, condemns and provokes.” The Eureka Chamber Music Series switches from string quartets to classical piano with Anton Nel returning to Calvary Lutheran Church Friday to play works by Bach, Chabrier, Chaminade, Poulenc and Schubert. Same Friday in HSU’s Fulkerson Recital Hall, students of guitarist Nicholas Lambson in the HSU Guitar Ensemble play music by Bartok, Ravel, Debussy and Astor Piazzolla among others. Then on Sunday afternoon, a collection of ensembles known as Chamber Players of the Redwoods take on Handel, Brahms, Crespo and others at Christ Episcopal Church in Eureka. Monday night’s choices: A pair of touring stringbands, Head for the Hills (from Colorado) and Fruition (from Oregon) share the bill at Humboldt Brews. Portland’s tres cool alt. surf pop trio Orca Team is at the Shanty with equally cool local neo-girl group The Lost Luvs. And AS Presents has New Orleans second line funk masters Rebirth Brass Band in the Depot. The California Honeydrops are back in town Wednesday, Nov. 14, bringing a blast of rockin’ soul to the Jambalaya with trumpet player/vocalist Lech Wierzynski out front. The Honeydrops are a guaranteed instant party. Something international? On Wednesday at Redwood Raks Humboldt Folkdancers present a band from Oakland called MWE playing Turkish and Balkan music on clarinets, zurna (a Turkish double reed instrument) and davul (a double-headed drum played with sticks, also Turkish). It’s dance music — Shoshanna will do something Middle Eastern, then the folk dancers take over. Dance, dance, dance!

FREE-RANGE TURKEYS ON KOKTE RANCH

PHOTO BY SUSAN ORNELAS

Now that Halloween is over, it’s time to start thinking about the next big holiday, Thanksgiving, aka “turkey day.” But first comes another turkey day, an Arcata tradition in the making known as The Awesome Autumn Feast. The idea is simple. “Eat from your watershed!” as it says on the event poster. The concept for the feast came from Arcata City Councilwoman Susan Ornelas, who also serves as executive director of the Jacoby Creek Land Trust. The nonprofit land trust was founded 20 years ago to oversee a couple of hundred acres in the Jacoby Creek watershed, including the 63-acre Kokte Ranch in Bayside. (Kokte is what the Wiyots called the Bayside area.) Ornelas started raising turkeys on the ranch a few years ago specifically for an annual dinner. This year the fresh-hatched turkeys came to Bayside at the end of May, shipped by mail from Fresno. “When they’re babies I really baby them,” said Ornelas. She collected pill bugs to hand feed the young turks, supplementing that with an organic grain blend. The free-range birds also eat a lot of grass on the ranch and whatever else they find ranging around. “They love spiders, and they’ll eat slugs; they really like mustard greens,” said Ornelas, noting that final plumping foods include pumpkins and apples.

At this point the birds are big, “maybe too big,” said Ornelas — 30-35 pounds each. On Thursday the turkeys will be slaughtered, chilled and distributed to local chefs who have until Sunday to come up with a unique gourmet preparation. This year’s participants include Avalon, Brick & Fire, Bless My Soul, Cafe Brio, Carter House Restaurant 301, Folie Douce, Jambalaya, The Other Place, Plaza Grill and Wildplatter Café, plus Uniquely Yours catering and Chef Brett Shuler. On feast day, Sunday, volunteers will prepare side dishes using produce donated by Paul Giuntoli’s Warren Creek Farms and Willow Creek Farms. The cooked turkeys will be delivered and a meal will come together. Chef Shuler will also oversee the Sunday volunteer prep/serving crew (including this writer). Meanwhile, volunteer pie makers are cooking up their specialties for a pie auction. Ornelas has gathered work from local artists for a silent art auction. Proceeds help fund the land trust’s conservation and education programs. The Awesome Autumn Feast takes place on Sunday, Nov. 11, starting at 5:30 p.m. at the Arcata Community Center, 321 Martin Luther Jr. Way. Tickets are $35, $20 for youth, free for kids under 5 and are available at Wildberries Marketplace, or by calling the Jacoby Creek Land Trust at 822-0900.

Denzel Washington gets all sopping wet in Flight

Weekend of Bummers

High hopes thrice dashed by movies that are less than the sum of their parts By John J. Bennett filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

FLIGHT. From a surprisingly R-rated opening (complete with day-drinking, fullfrontal nudity and a dusting of cocaine), Flight moves on to one of the most intense, harrowing airplane crash sequences in movie history. Then it slows, gets contemplative and begins the gradual, irrevocable process of losing my interest.

The movie has more good stuff in it than bad, but ultimately its obvious sentimentality and maudlin pontificating undo the exhilaration of the opening scenes. As it turns out, Flight is as much a study in alcoholism as it is a disaster movie. Denzel Washington plays “Whip” Whitaker, a talented commercial airline pilot who also happens to be an inveterate drunk. On a turbulent but otherwise unremarkable commuter jaunt, his aircraft experiences traumatic mechanical failure. Whitaker executes heroic maneuvers and crash-lands the plane, averting a major disaster but losing the lives of four passengers and two flight attendants in the process. The ensuing investigation reveals Whitaker’s life-saving brilliance but also threatens to expose his alcoholism. The specter of a wrongful death lawsuit and a lengthy prison term looms ominously. The bulk of the movie takes place outside the context of the investigation as we watch Whitaker wrestle with Demon Rum. Washington plays him warts and all, down to the minor slurs of speech, stumbles and jaw clenches of a for-real drunk. It’s an impressive performance,

but nothing more than what we’ve come to expect from Denzel. When Whitaker falls in with a recovering junkie (Kelly Reilly), everything gets heavy-handed very quickly. Their relationship seems rushed and a little implausible, if well-acted, and the second act becomes a springboard for a long-form Alcoholics Anonymous promotion. Director Robert Zemeckis nearly salvages the movie with an extended “will he/won’t he” relapse conundrum, which is followed by a breathless, expertly executed courtroom sequence. But the smugly simplistic ending bleeds off all the tension. Above all else, Flight is deeply frustrating. The examination of the lifestyle of alcoholism, and the havoc it can wreak, is a worthwhile, ambitious task for a filmmaker to undertake. And in that examination, the movie is generally successful. But when it moves into judgment and suggestions of recourse, the movie comes off stodgy and myopic. This is particularly disappointing because, as I’ve mentioned, Flight contains some truly brilliant moments. But the moments between are its undoing. R. 138m. WRECK-IT RALPH. It may be my own fault, due to over-caffeination or inflated expectations, but Ralph was also a bit of a letdown. It starts out promisingly, with an inventive premise and gorgeous visuals. But it starts to drag in the second act, the plot gets predictable and the movie never recovers. The great John C. Reilly plays Ralph, the baddy from an eight-bit arcade game. In the midst of an existential crisis brought on by 30 years of playing the villain despite having a heart of gold, he escapes from his game in pursuit of accolades. He barges his way through a few other games, inadvertently wrecking stuff along the way. Inside a game called Sugar Rush — a sort of Candyland meets MarioKart — Ralph befriends a troubled little scamp named Vanellope (Sarah Silverman). From there, Wreck-It Ralph turns completely conventional. Ralph and Vanellope commiserate as outsiders trapped by circumstance, then join together to try to beat the odds. Not surprisingly, their relationship is tested along the way, and there’s a villain — who isn’t quite what he seems — trying to drive them apart. Reilly, Silverman and the supporting voice cast (including Jack McBrayer, Jane Lynch and Alan Tudyck, perennial favorites all) are fun and convincing. The imagery is bold and inventive, but Ralph spends too much time in familiar territory without adding any significant new elements. PG. 108m. THE MAN WITH THE IRON FISTS. Here again, I’ve burdened a movie with perhaps unfair expectations. I’ve long been a fan of the RZA (aka Robert Diggs)

as a producer and MC. His imagination, grit, attention to detail and obsession with kung fu movies have enabled him to create some indelible, undeniable hiphop. I hoped those attributes, along with his collaborations with Jim Jarmusch (in Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai) and Quentin Tarantino (in Kill Bill), might produce a movie as entertaining and cool as his music. Sadly, rap producer chops don’t automatically carry over to cinema. The plot, in brief: The inhabitants of Jungle Village find themselves in the midst of clan conflict. The Lion clan is beset by mutiny, its scion having been drawn away by young love. His surrogate brothers are traitors to the cause and plan to usurp his power. They also plan to wage underhanded war against all of the other clans and steal a huge shipment of gold. Stuck in the middle of all the hoopla are a well-meaning blacksmith (RZA) and a grotesquely lecherous Englishman with obscure motives and a penchant for weird knives (Russell Crowe). Strong bloody violence ensues, most of it within the cozy confines of a brothel operated by Madame Blossom (Lucy Liu). The fact that this movie got made at all is something to celebrate, I suppose. Its existence as a passion project starring, cowritten and directed by the RZA himself is enough to make it philosophically better than much of what reaches the multiplex. But its execution is unfocused, the narrative is pointlessly rangy and over-complicated, and many of the combat sequences are shot and cut so we can’t actually see the vital details of the fighting. Iron Fists will undoubtedly enjoy a long, fruitful life as a DVD cult hit, and I certainly wouldn’t begrudge it that. I love B movies, and it’s refreshing to see a new take on the kung fu genre. I just wish it was better. R. 96m. —John J. Bennett

Previews

SKYFALL. In James Bond’s 23rd cinematic outing (the third with steely-eyed stud Daniel Craig in the lead), 007 must prevent an unhinged villain (played by a bleach-blond Javier Bardem) from tearing down British secret intelligence agency MI6. PG13. 143m. If you’re displeased with Tuesday’s election results and need a brain-cation, try escaping into the mind of renowned actor John Malkovich Friday evening at the Arcata Theatre Lounge. Spike Jonze’s 1999 head trip Being John Malkovich is easily one of the best and strangest movies of the last 20 years, thanks in large part to Charlie Kaufman’s brilliantly demented screenplay. 8 p.m. R. 112m. Sunday at 6 p.m. the ATL will screen Shrek (2001), which you certainly don’t need me to explain. It’s Shrek. Next Wednesday’s Sci-Fi Pint and Pizza Night will feature Journey to the

Seventh Planet, a 1962 Danish film about some astronauts who confront their inner demons on Uranus. (There’s just no way to mention that planet without sounding dirty, is there?) The Humboldt County Library is hosting a Native American Heritage Month film series at its Eureka main branch, with a movie screening each Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. Next week’s feature will be director Michael Mann’s 1992 epic The Last of the Mohicans, with the great Daniel Day-Lewis acting as your white-man guide. R. 112m.

King Arthur, Part 3: The Creation of Camelot By Barry Evans

fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com

any men say there ys wrytten uppon [Arthur’s] tumbe thys: Hic iacet Arthurus, rex quondam rex futurus (Here lies Arthur, the once and future king). — Le Morte d’Arthur, Thomas Malory, 1465

The two previous Field Notes dealt with the sparse historical evidence we have for a warlord named Arthur who may have led British forces to a decisive victory against Anglo-Saxon invaders at Mount Badon around the year 500 CE. This week, we’ll look at how a misty memory became the stuff of legend. Arthur first appears in recorded history around 830, in a fantastical account attributed to the monk Nennius (whose authorship is a matter of debate). At Mount Badon, the legend goes, Arthur single-handedly killed 960 of the enemy. After that, Arthur was fair game for storytellers. By 1135, Geoffrey of Monmouth had elevated him to King of Britain (he was only a “dux bellorum,” or warlord, in Nennius’ account), son of Uther Pendragon, a legendary Welsh king of post-Roman Britain. After Geoffrey’s Arthur marries Guinevere, daughter of a noble RomanoBritish family, he establishes his court at Caerleon in Wales, once a major Roman fortress (and incidentally where Lord Tennyson wrote his version of the tale, Idylls of the King). It was French writer Chretien de Troyes who inspired the full flowering of the Arthur legend. Writing around 1180, Chretien pulled together previous strands of the story, including tales that probably

came to him via the Celtic-British colony of Brittany (“little Britain”) on mainland Europe. Knowing a good plot line when he saw it, he brought us the “eternal triangle” theme of Arthur-Guinevere-Lancelot, in which Guinevere betrays her husband the king by consummating her love for his favorite knight, Lancelot. Chretien also introduces the element of Christianity in the form of the Holy Grail, and mentions, for the first time, Arthur’s castle: Camelot. While great medieval romances abounded, such as those of Alexander (part of the “Matter of Rome”) and Charlemagne (the “French Matter”), none were milked to the extent we see with King Arthur in the “Matter of Britain.” The most imaginative of the re-packagers was English writer Thomas Malory (1405-1471), who combined the French courtly-love angle with his knowledge of Welsh sources, creating in Le Morte d’Arthur (The Death of Arthur) a story about believable and fallible heroes. It was first published by the pioneer printer William Caxton in 1485. Mallory’s interpretation — bolstered by Lord Tennyson’s Victorian-era re-telling and the musical Camelot with its associations with JFK — is the one that we know today, and that our grandchildren and their children will know tomorrow. The title of T.H. White’s four-part novel says it all: the tale of The Once and Future King is as timeless as the art of storytelling. l Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo. com) has sought Arthur’s ghost at Caerleon, Glastonbury, Tintagel, Camelford, Badbury, Winchester and St. David’s. He’s still looking.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call PRIME PACIFIC at (707) 468-5300 Ext. 11 [telephone message recording] or you may can call PRIME PACIFIC at (707) 468-5300 Ext. 10 and talk to a

person directly. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information (Ext. 11). THE BEST WAY TO VERIFY POSTPONEMENT INFORMATION IS TO ATTEND THE SCHEDULED SALE. The mortgagee or beneficiary is not required to give notice under CA Civil Code Section 2923.5.
