I Marched Editor: Today I marched with my daughter, granddaughter and sister (NCJ Daily, Jan. 25). We were proud to join women and men from my small county who share my horror at this presidency. I’ve felt helpless and depressed; marching was something I could do. Feeling finally empowered, I walked up F street toward my car with my sister and our protest posters. I was heckled; I dared carry a Hillary sign. I wanted Bernie, too, but … Someone in a car on Fifth Street shouted something. They circled around, and on Sixth Street they hollered out again, “She should be in jail.” OK, I thought, that’s your ill-informed opinion. Immediately before me was a motorcycle event with rows of beautifully polished large bikes. Some of the guys there nodded in either approval or acknowledgement. I slowed to admire an orange bike but the owner said, “Hillary needs a bullet in her head.” Then he said, either she (Hillary) or I was a “C” word! Misogyny is alive and well in Humboldt. I got to the car feeling defeated again. Now, I’m angry and looking for a constructive outlet. Cheri Ward, Eureka

A Monumental Suggestion Editor: May I suggest a statue for the Plaza that is far removed from President McKinley (“A Monumental Decision,” Dec. 7). Consider Mary, the Jewish mother to Jesus of Nazareth. She stands as a tribute to women’s

empowerment and a statement against anti-Semitism. Carman Gentile, Arcata

Let’s Talk About Jobs! Editor: A glaring omission in Representative Huffman’s interview (“Congressional Chat,” Jan. 18) was “jobs or full employment.” We should be proposing: federal job retraining programs for jobs lost during industry disruptions, vocational training in high school/community college and federal start-up funding for mini manufacturing. Instead of discussing “decorum,” Huffman and Wear could have analyzed the fury and fear fueling Trump’s ascension. Economic insecurity feeds racism. Environmental issues are close to Huffman’s heart but it is incumbent upon him to figure out that nationally we are not going to get support for environmental issues unless folks feel they can find decent paying jobs to keep their house and family together. These are lynchpins to supporting their self-respect. Huffman’s district includes many working and middle class people who are fearful about their economic future and/ or aren’t stable financially now. I talked to an employee at the Humboldt County Office of Education about federal job creation being needed. Her reply, “Yes! Let’s get real.” Lots of District Two folks work in the service industry. A substantial number will be losing those jobs to automation in the next several years. Even in Eureka, computerized scanners are replacing cashiers and tellers. Huffman needs to have these people’s backs.

I have gone to two Huffman town hall meetings and never heard him bring up these issues. For our representative to ignore class issues is deadly; our country is on the brink of authoritarianism and we can no longer make the same mistakes we’ve made for decades. The Democrats lost voters in the center because previous administrations shipped out thousands of those voters’ well-paid manufacturing jobs and we have not created solutions to reverse the slide of the middle and working classes. We need to rectify this. A strong middle class helps make a country internally strong and gives hope to the working class. Zephyr Markowitz, Bayside

Humboldt County’s judicial turnover, two decades in the making By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

wenty years ago in these very pages, the North Coast Journal ran a story about an unprecedented turnover in the Humboldt County judiciary. Over the span of just 24 months in the late 1990s, Humboldt saw five of its seven judgeships change hands amid a youth movement. Well, history repeats. In the last week, Humboldt County Superior Court Judges Dale Reinholtsen and John Feeney announced their retirements — Reinholtsen when his term is up at the end of the year and Feeney effective next month — after a combined 40-plus years on the bench. Their retirements follow those of Timothy Cissna, who stepped down this month, Marilyn Miles, who hung up her robe in July, and Bruce Watson, who retired in January of 2016. And in the midst of all this, Humboldt County saw its local federal magistrate judge Nandor Vadas step down last year, making way for Robert Illman to fill the role. In all, it’s a dramatic change for an elite

club that wields tremendous power over the citizenry of Humboldt County. After all, trial judges decide child custody cases, marry people, grant divorces, authorize the seizure of personal property, protect people’s rights and decide when — and for how long — someone’s freedom should be taken away. In the most extreme of cases, they sentence people to death. The vast majority of Humboldt County’s judges were appointed to the positions. Christopher Wilson, who, come Reinholtsen’s retirement, will be the longest tenured on the bench, is the last person to win a contested judicial election in Humboldt County, having done so in 1998. All others were appointed by the governor and have since run uncontested for re-election. That is also likely to change in November, as two local attorneys — Lawrence Killoran and Lathe Gill — have filed paperwork with the county elections office indicating they intend to run for Reinholtsen’s seat. Gov. Jerry Brown has already appointed

former Humboldt County Conflict Counsel Greg Elvine-Kreis to fill Watson’s seat and Kelly Neel, a former deputy public defender and deputy prosecutor in Humboldt, to take Cissna’s. Who will take over Miles’ and Feeney’s seats remains to be seen but Court Executive Officer Kim Bartelson says she expects to see Brown make appointments by the end of the year. In an interesting historic footnote, Brown, 79, is now appointing judges to replace those who replaced his appointees. During his first stint as governor from 1959 to 1967, Brown, a Democrat, appointed the three judges who left the bench in the late 1990s, making way for then Gov. Pete Wilson, a Republican, to appoint Feeney, Cissna and Reinholtsen. While party affiliation undoubtedly plays some role in the appointment process — a lengthy affair overseen by the governor’s office with input from the state bar and local attorneys — superior court judgeships are nonpartisan positions and most agree politics don’t get much

traction in the courtroom, where judges are expected to — and generally do — follow the law. But there is no escaping that judges come from different backgrounds and bring different experiences with them to the bench. Reinholtsen, for example, was a former deputy prosecutor who’d spent two decades in private practice. Cissna and Feeney spent their careers largely practicing civil law before coming to the bench. In contrast, Elvine-Kreis and Neel have spent their careers in criminal courtrooms, Elvine-Kreis representing indigent defendants for the county and Neel as both a prosecutor and a deputy public defender. Dustin Owens, past president of the Humboldt County Bar Association, says both will likely have to do a lot of work to come up to speed in civil and family law. Elvine-Kreis has been working in the family law court since his appointment and Owens says he’s been impressed with what he’s seen so far, saying he’s been in control of his courtroom, prepared and fair. Neel, Owens says, has been spending some time in the civil court watching case calendars since her appointment, apparently preparing to step into her new role next month. “There’s a learning curve with judges and staff helping them to learn processes,” says Bartelson, adding that new judges are sent to a judicial orientation and a twoweek judicial college under the umbrella of the Judicial Council of California. The Judicial Council’s trainings have been invaluable, Elvine-Kreis said in an email to the Journal, adding that he’s attended ones on family, probate and dependency law. Each, he said, was taught

by a California judge and spanned multiple eight-hour days. Elvine-Kreis conceded his learning curve has been steep, prompting him to spend a lot of daily hours on his own studying the law and picking his fellow judges’ brains. “All the judges have an open door policy, in that I can email them or go to their chambers when I need direction,” he said. “I have even asked judges to leave the bench when an issue has come up that needs immediate attention. We all communicate with each other and having the more experienced judges available is invaluable.” He added that he’s gotten some great advice — never get behind on your work or it will pile up and you’ll never catch up, seek out other judges for direction, practice mindfulness — both at trainings and from his colleagues. Locally, Elvine-Kreis and other new judges’ learning curves will likely only be sharpened by Humboldt County’s impacted calendars and heavy caseloads. Even with the new appointments, the county will soon have two judicial vacancies, meaning it will have to continue to bring in visiting judges to keep its courtrooms open and cases moving through the system. Bartelson says she’s been leaning heavily on the governor’s office to move quickly with appointments, saying she calls every few weeks to make sure our rural county is on governor’s radar. “The only thing I don’t have is a bat phone, but I call on a regular basis and I’ve developed a rapport with the office,” she says.

Oldylocks and the 3,000 Stairs Back to college as a full-ass adult By Sarah Godlin

newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

f anything was to dispel my notion of being a young person who deserved some kudos for “adulting,” it was going back to Humboldt State University at 37. Compared to my classmates, I wasn’t just “adulting,” I was a full-ass adult on the parent-age spectrum. Among the underclassmen who use “retro” and “’90s” in the same sentence, I felt somewhat like a walking fossil as I kept pushing up my shirtsleeves to silently say, “Look — I’m covered in tattoos. I am not your mother!” Unbeknownst to me, it was exactly something their mothers would do. I entered my first round of college in 1999, having only been on the Internet once in my life, and it was to vote for the blue M&M. The classes I take now are filled with hip, young avocado-on-toast-ers who have never known a world without the blue M&M, and they all seemed to be reluctant to hear about how I was a pioneer, shaping the colorful candy world that they live in today. “Tan, I tell you!” I proclaim in the quad with my cane held aloft. “The blue ones used to be tan!” But their earbuds, magically wireless, drown out my frail old old-person warble, so I give up and shuffle forth to check the Depot salad bar for prunes. The first week of the fall semester, two freshmen stood leaning against said salad bar, looking confused slash worried and holding plates of food. I struck up a conversation and learned they had forgotten their J Cards in their dorms and were trying to Venmo anyone Internet bucks in exchange for some cash so they could buy their already plated food. The gal’s tofu was getting cold and they weren’t having any luck. I paid the $9 for their meals — something which seemed totally crazy to them — and they tried to get my info to pay me back. “It’s OK. I’m, like, you know, old. I have a job and stuff,” I said, ending the exchange with, “Thank you for talking to me.” I had essentially tipped a couple of kids for interacting with me on their turf. They were semi-flabbergasted. It 1,000 percent made me feel like a rich old person for the first time in my life. That is a dragon I intend on chasing. Being an older college student increases your chances of being a grade grubber and teacher suck-up by, like, 90 percent. Not only did I end the semester with a grade sheet looking like the cartoon

bubble above someone falling off a cliff (AAAAAAA), I also stayed in constant email contact with my professors, one of which was younger than me, and I asked a buttload of questions in class. I would have hated me when I was 20. The magic about being older though, is that you know more about the relative importance of things and can weigh them against each other. I can save myself an eyeroll from the overly bothered twentysomething or I can get the information I need from the professor, but I can’t have both, so get familiar with the inside of your eye sockets, my dudes. HSU is a little insular, especially for the younger students. The campus grocery store is pretty much a mini Wildberries, the library loans out laptops for free and the pool and workout areas are better than anything in town. If a campus dweller doesn’t have a particularly exploratory spirit, there is no reason for them to even leave the grounds. I’m old enough to think about city economics and how much this sucks for the surrounding area businesses. A girl in my Environmental Writing class was baffled that there was a place you could go to hang out by the river in the summer. She had never heard of Willow Creek. She also hadn’t heard of Trinidad or Blue Lake, and when I explained them she shook her head at the idea of traveling so far away. I had already been to Blue Lake that day because that’s where the good thrift store is. When you are an older Humboltian you know where the good thrift store is. So, I might not be invited to the cool house parties, but this leather bag was $7. It’s weird something that was so distasteful at 20 is so utterly joyous at 29 plus eight. Sitting next to the river is somehow less important than sitting in a tiny right handed desk because, you know, delayed gratification is a real thing. I love being a student. If I was independently wealthy, I’d just put “College” on my business card. It’s a plus, too, that my classmates are too young to make Rodney Dangerfield jokes at my expense. l Sarah Godlin is a writer and a longterm Humboldtian who will never turn her nose up at candy, no matter the color.

Cultivation Cap Heads to Court By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

he California Grower’s Association, the largest cannabis trade group in the state, has filed a lawsuit challenging emergency state regulations that went into effect late last year and allow a single person or business to cultivate an unlimited amount of marijuana. A pledge to protect California’s small cannabis farmers from an influx of large corporations was a major selling point of Proposition 64, which passed overwhelmingly in 2016 and legalized marijuana for recreational use. In fact, it was in the proposition’s findings and declarations: “The Adult Use of Marijuana Act ensures that the nonmedical marijuana industry in California will be built around small and medium sized businesses by prohibiting large-scale cultivation licenses for the first five years.” So it was with some considerable shock and awe that farmers combed through the California Department of Food and Agriculture’s emergency guidelines to find that, while the department does prohibit the issuance of large-scale cultivation licenses, it left an apparent loophole that some fear will open the flood gates to the cannabis Monsantos of the world. Specifically, the department put no cap on the number of small-scale cultivation licenses a person or business can hold, effectively allowing them to stack licenses to cultivate acres upon acres of marijuana. While some initially thought the loophole was an oversight, the department has stood by its emergency regulations, saying they were finalized after input from a diverse group of stakeholders. A host of lawmakers, including the North Coast’s own Assemblymember Jim Wood and state Sen. Mike McGuire, have decried the “last minute revision that rolls out the red carpet for large corporations to crush the livelihood of small family farmers” in a letter to the department. But the department hasn’t blinked, spurring the California Grower’s Association to take its fight to the courts. On Jan. 23, the association filed a lawsuit in Sacramento County Superior Court asking a judge to find the regulations inconsistent with Proposition 64 and to block the department from issuing licenses inconsistent with the ballot measure. Because Proposition 64 explicitly allows itself to be amended by the Legislature, the association could have looked to lawmakers to overturn the emergency regulations, but association Executive Director Hezekiah Allen said it worried that would take too long.

University of California Hastings School of Law professor David Levine says it appears the association is making a reasonable argument that may force the Department of Food and Agriculture to offer some rationale for the apparent departure from Proposition 64. While the letter of the proposition does not prohibit stacking small-scale cultivation licenses, its intent is explicit. The issue has already caused some divisions within the industry. The California Cannabis Industry Association, for example, penned a letter to the department urging it to keep the regulations as is, arguing that a hard cap on how much land someone can cultivate marijuana on would disadvantage small growers. The group argues that because outdoor cultivation is limited to one harvest per year — compared to as many as six annual harvests for indoor or mixed-light grows — the cap “would severely compromise seasonal cultivators.” But Allen and others argue that’s nonsense and the lack of a cap will allow large companies to cultivate huge swaths of land with economies of scale that will leave small farms unable to compete. The Department of Food and Agriculture hasn’t filed a response to the lawsuit yet and didn’t respond to Journal inquiries. For his part, speaking before the lawsuit was filed, Allen said the cap question looms large over whether his organization’s 1,000 or so members and other small farmers will have a place in the state’s new multi-billion-dollar industry. “The way this plays out is probably going to be the most important aspect of this transition so hopefully we get it right,” he said. Allen pointed back to a meeting of the state’s Blue Ribbon Commission on Marijuana Policy back in 2015, when Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom rolled into Garberville with much fanfare on a fact-finding mission aimed at helping the state set new marijuana rules. Newsom warned a packed audience that big money influences were already circling Sacramento looking to cash in on the state’s burgeoning cannabis industry. “With respect,” Newsome told the crowd, “they’re writing a lot of you guys out and we cannot let that happen.” “Well,” Allen said just a few years later, “this sure feels like being written out.” l

A Guest of Protest

s the North Coast Journal went to press, President Donald Trump was preparing to give his first State of the Union and local Congressman Jared Huffman had a special guest in attendance to make a point. Huffman brought transgender Marine Corps veteran and Fort Bragg resident Lynda Bengtsson-Davis as his guest to protest Trump’s proposal to ban transgender people from serving in the armed forces. “As President Trump delivers his first State of the Union address, my message to him, to my constituents, and to America as whole is going to be: love trumps hate,” Huffman said. “President Trump clearly needs to hear this message. From his anti-Muslim travel bans, to his slurs about other nations, the first year of the Trump presidency has been an unrelenting attack on core values — equality, tolerance, diversity and unity — that have helped make our country great. When our President tries to take us backward by turning Americans against each other and stoking culture wars, he must be confronted.” Huffman points to Trump’s July decision, announced on Twitter, to ban transgender people from serving in the military as one of the most “egregious examples” of his “discriminatory and counterproductive actions.” The ban, which reportedly ran counter to input and advice the president had received from national security advisors and military commanders, has

been halted by a court challenge, allowing transgender individuals to continue to serve in the armed forces. “Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical cost and disruption that transgender in the military would entail,” the president wrote in a series of early morning July 26 tweets. For her part, Bengtsson-Davis said she was blown away by the president’s Twitter announcement. “My personal feeling was that someone who never served a day in his life, whether in the military or public service, had the audacity to discredit my service and the service and sacrifice being made by a specific population of the American people was unbelievable,” she said in a press release from Huffman’s office. “This whole argument about transgender people in the military is just recycled garbage and it’s the same argument that was used for why African Americans shouldn’t serve, why Native Americans shouldn’t serve, why women shouldn’t serve, why gays and lesbians shouldn’t serve, and now why transgender people shouldn’t serve. It’s truly just discriminatory rhetoric and the story never changes, just the group it attacks does. I have a right as an American to be given the opportunity to defend my country. After all, shouldn’t a nation’s military look like the people it defends?” — Thadeus Greenson POSTED 01.25.18 READ THE FULL STORY ONLINE.

Why does Humboldt County have the highest rate of missing persons reports in the state? By Linda Stansberry linda@northcoastjournal.com

reported missing in California. Is Humboldt County, as Hansen suggested, a black hole? The answer is complicated. To begin with, it’s hard to make an apples-to-apples comparison of Humboldt to other parts of the state or other parts of the country. According to a Journal analysis of available AG data, we do have a high rate of missing persons reports. Between 2000 and 2016, we averaged 717 missing persons reports a year (both adults and children) per 100,000 residents. The statewide average? 384. It’s worth noting that California has one of the most liberal standards for filing a missing persons report, with no waiting period or jurisdictional restrictions. “It’s a fallacy that it has to be 24 hours,” says Lt. Dennis Young of the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office, adding that he thinks the AG numbers are “askew.” “We always take the report, we never delay it,” says Sgt. Diana Freese, one of the HCSO’s four detectives who work missing persons cases. “If someone calls from

hey have been missing since 1977, or just since last November. They range in age from 1 to 94. They are men and women, and two very small girls. The sheriff’s office will not call any of them “cold cases” but many of their names and faces have long since slipped from public recognition. They are not the “Humboldt Five” profiled in the sensationalist 2016 Crime Watch Daily piece with Chris Hansen, which suggested a serial killer was somehow connected to the disappearances of five young women between 1993 and 2014 and referred to Humboldt County as “a lonely stretch of foggy California coastline [that] some think of as a doorway to Heaven on Earth — others as a gateway to Hell.” They are the Humboldt 35 — all of the names on the California Attorney General’s database of missing persons as of Jan. 18. They are identified with mugshots or grainy photos that have been digitally aged by decades. According to Journal research, Humboldt has the highest per-capita rate of people

There is not a one-to-one ratio of reports to missing persons as some are reported missing multiple times, generating multiple reports. But most are not missing for long. Of the 313 reports filed for missing adults in Humboldt County in 2016, the vast majority were closed: 230 returned or were located, three were found dead, 15 arrested, eight were declared “voluntary missing,” five were marked withdrawn, one marked “unknown” and 51 classified as “other,” which includes suspicious circumstances. Of those 51 people, only one remains on the AG’s website: Mitchell Hernandez, a 47-year-old man who walked out of a family member’s home near Rancho Sequoia in Alderpoint the day before Thanksgiving, reportedly while carrying a .40 caliber pistol and a backpack. The backpack was found next to the Eel River near Fort Seward. Hernandez, described as possibly having mental health issues, remains missing. Continued on next page »

Humboldt County ranks sixth in the state per capita for missing children reports between 2010 and 2016. One factor that may contribute to that ranking is the high number of Humboldt County children in transitional and foster care. According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), these kids are at a higher risk to be chronic runaways, with each separate incident generating its own report. It has only been mandatory for states to report runaway foster youth to law enforcement and to NCMEC since 2014, thanks to an anti-sex trafficking bill passed under the Obama administration, although the Humboldt County Department of Social Services has followed this protocol since 2000. The number of annual reports for missing children in Humboldt County has hovered in the mid-600s to upper-700s for more than a decade. From 2000 through 2016, Humboldt County saw an average of 490 missing children reports annually for every 100,000 residents compared to the state average of 280. Asked whether these disproportionate numbers put Humboldt County on NCMEC’s radar, Bob Lowery, the organization’s vice-president, says, in short, “No.” “It’s a bit curious as to why that might be,” Lowery tells the Journal in a phone interview. “It could be that the county sheriff and local police are very aggressive in accepting reports and getting them into the system. I’m not aware of any critically missing children in Humboldt County. If you dig into those number a little deeper, the reports are generally going to be runaway children.”

Lowery emphasizes that 378 missing children reports filed do not necessarily represent 378 separate children, as some may be chronic runaways. “Sometimes we’ve found when numbers are a little bit skewed there are reporting errors,” he says. “Children who go missing typically come back in the first few days but don’t always come out of system.” Both the Eureka Police Department and Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office seem to agree with this assessment, saying that the majority of runaway juvenile cases are resolved within days or weeks.

to the Journal’s analysis of data available from the AG’s office over the last six years, we also outpace the state average for children missing under “unknown circumstances.” Statewide, runaways account for about 95 percent of missing children reports, while that percentage dips to 90 in Humboldt. Only two children appear on the AG’s list of missing persons for Humboldt County, Jessie and Fannie Stuart, ages 2 and 1 when they disappeared along with their mother, Mary Stuart, in December of 1977. Mary, who lived on a rural homestead in Honeydew, had driven into town on Dec. 10 to buy groceries and do laundry. Neither she nor the children were ever seen again, although the family’s red station wagon was found on a logging road nearby. The Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office reopened the case in 2009, saying it had new leads, according to an article in the Times-Standard. Byron Stuart, Mary’s husband, remains the primary suspect in the case. Neighbors describe him as violent, erratic and often armed with guns. He died in 1996 and his homestead has since been subdivided, the site of many different cannabis grow scenes in the intervening decades. Although NCMEC continues to digitally age the photographs of tiny Jessie and Fannie Stuart, investigators seem to agree that they have been long since deceased. “We never stop looking,” says Young. An age-progressed “Investigations will stall. There comes a image of Jessie point in time in a lot Stuart from of cases where the NCMEC. leads just dry up.” The only other missing juvenile case from Humboldt County that remains on NCMEC’s database is Karen Mitchell, who disappeared as a teenager from U.S. Highway 101 on Nov. 25, 1997. A poster with An age-progressed an age-progressed image of Karen picture of Mitchell, Mitchell from who would now be 37, NCMEC. still hangs on the wall of the Eureka Police Department’s lobby.

She had no idea and asked for information about how to remove the listing. We gave her contact information for the nearest law enforcement office and the listing disappeared shortly afterward. Another woman — Allison Nicole Strout — was listed as missing since May of 2016 but appears to have been active on social media the entire time. Her name was removed after she showed up in a Humboldt County Drug Task Force bust at a Eureka motel in October. These cases illustrate a small but frustrating subset of the data: Some people aren’t actually missing and others just don’t want to be found. Young and other law enforcement professionals emphasize that Humboldt County is a good place to disappear. It’s not unusual, they say, to spend resources searching for missing adults at the behest of friends, parents or spouses only to be told by the party in question that they had cut off contact for a good reason, such as estrangement or abuse, and were laying low out of choice. Many people come to the area to work in the cannabis industry, leaving town to work on remote mountains where there is no cell phone service. They may be out of communication for weeks or months, with family members only having a vague idea of where they might be that — they drove to Eureka, are in Humboldt County, or are in the general “Emerald Triangle” region. These cases can be particularly hard to investigate. “No one wants to cooperate with a missContinued on next page »

ing persons investigation,” says Young of cannabis-related cases. “Many people from throughout the state, nation and world come to Humboldt County to work in the cannabis industry. They often times will not communicate with friends and family regarding their location, and/or they go off the grid for extended periods of time. Many of those individuals will return home and no one notifies law enforcement that they are no longer missing. Consequently, they remain in the data base. Some missing persons are victims of homicides with no apparent leads and lack of witness cooperation.” While law enforcement pointed to the local cannabis industry as a primary reason for Humboldt County’s high rates of missing adults, its worth noting that our rates are still roughly double those of the rest of the Emerald Triangle — Mendocino and Trinity counties. Eureka, as the county seat, becomes the default location for many missing persons reports. Brittany Powell, a crime analyst with EPD, says her agency takes about 40 reports a month, with a total of about 500 reports filed last year. Patrol officers take the initial report and, if there is any sign of suspicious circumstances, reach out to friends and family. “Most of the individuals have been located and cleared from the system,” Powell wrote the Journal in an email. “I would say most are found within a few days.” Many people reported missing to EPD are adults who were en route to the area when they last spoke to their family, or members of the homeless population who have fallen out of touch with their loved ones and are rumored to be in the area. “These reports are usually for the long-term homeless community,” Powell says. “Family members [sometimes after the passing of a loved one] try to get in touch with an estranged family member. A lot of the time it is not known how long the person was in Eureka, if at all. Also, the descriptions and information regarding the person are often minimal.” Both EPD and the sheriff’s office enter missing persons into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs), but only after a certain period of investigation. (“Once all potential leads have been exhausted,” according to Young.) NamUs, a federal database of missing persons and unidentified bodies, connects each case with a caseworker who compares it against reports, looks for patterns and collaborates with families and local law enforcement. NamUs’ website includes several Humboldt County area reports that don’t appear on the Attorney General’s website. This is not uncommon, according to NamUs’ founder and Director Todd

Matthews, who says the patchwork of information available through local and state organizations doesn’t offer the full picture that a national registry might. “I don’t know what I don’t know,” says Matthews, who has been advocating for legislation to mandate all law enforcement agencies put missing persons reports into the national database. “I don’t know why it isn’t standardized. It might be a money thing but I say, we’ve already paid for it.” The NamUs system allows family members to submit DNA samples to its database for comparison against unidentified bodies (there are no unidentified bodies currently in the system for Humboldt County), and to also contact NamUs caseworkers to update information, refining descriptions and adding photographs. One of the names that appears on the NamUs website but not on the AG’s list, Cody Conoboy, has been positively matched to a DNA sample. Conoboy, 15, was swept into the Trinity River after jumping out of a stolen car near Hoopa in January of 2011. A jawbone found the following September was positively identified Conoboy’s in 2013. It’s not uncommon for these cases to remain on the database, according to Young.

“Some of the people we will never be able to remove from the system,” he says. “Maybe they were washed out to sea [in] a witnessed event but their bodies were not recovered.” Young says Conoboy’s listing probably remains because the U.S. Department of Justice only removes a person whose body part has been recovered if the part is something they “can no longer live without,” such as a skull. Another case that remains on the NamUs database belongs to Claire Louise

says, adding that it’s imperative for family members to keep in contact with the department and encourage others who might have information to come forward. “I think they should call over to our department and see who is carrying the case. Often it’s going to be a family member, what they forgot to say or didn’t think of [that helps]. I am all about having family members call. Sometimes I will set up a day, every week or every month. I say, ‘I will call you at 9 o’clock,’ and update them on where we’re at. That can bring some peace.” Vikki Joseph isn’t satisfied. She describes herself as being in a double-bind, with plenty of information but a frustrating lack of options for what to do with it. “I have things other families don’t have,” she says. “Things that could have all been researched. But there’s only so much we can do. I can research it and research it, can provide them with all their leads and tips but I can’t arrest anyone.” Although Jeff Joseph was originally listed as “voluntary missing,” Vikki Joseph doesn’t believe her brother would have disappeared on purpose. He was a loving, kind man, she insists. He was non-violent, refusing to carry a gun. When their mother was dying, Jeff was the one who took care of her, feeding her and changing her diapers. He would never go this long without letting his family know he was OK. It hurts Vikki Joseph to think about what he

must have felt in those last moments, the fear and betrayal. She just wants to know where his body is to bring him back to Los Angeles County.

Missing since 2014: Je≠ Joseph. Asked what she’s going to do once that happens, Vikki Joseph doesn’t hesitate. “I’m going to put him to rest next to his mom,” she says. l Journal graphic designer Jonathan Webster contributed to this report.

Is brunch dead?

A few weeks ago, iconic pop star and holder of Champagne flutes Mariah Carey declared brunch over. On some level, she may be right. We may be done waiting in line (Mimi would never) to pay through the nose for swanky, Instagram-ready cloud eggs. But old-fashioned brunch — the big breakfast that forgives your rolling out of bed just shy of noon and gives you a pass to day drink and possibly return to said bed — will never be over. I offer you Big Blue Café’s (846 G St., Arcata) hefty, unglamorous Breakfast Club sandwich as evidence ($10.99). Like a heartier and more Californian Monte Cristo, it’s built on French toast and stuffed with turkey, thin bacon, sliced avocado and pepper jack. The bread is firm and chewy enough to support the volume, especially if you’re up for blurring the line between sweet and savory with the accompanying syrup. Your server will alert you that real maple syrup is available for $1.49 and if you can’t see why that’s utterly worth it, then you have chosen your path and I will not try to win you over.

Haunted by a decades-ago plate at a truck stop near the Texas-Arkansas border with payphones in the dining booths, it was hard to accept any variation on the standard dusty-topped, fluffy biscuit all but drowned in peppery, white pork sausage gravy. Only recently have I opened my heart and its attending arteries to anything else. A fellow Journal staffer recommended the Cajun biscuits and gravy ($8.25) at Henderson Center’s Cafe Nooner Too (2910 E St., Eureka) but I hesitated because it’s made with andouille sausage.

Nooner Too’s biscuits and andouille sausage gravy, cher.

and wine flavors from the andouille sausage make for a hammier, more aromatic pan gravy that’s homey and satisfying. Dig under the smothering blanket and your fork will hit a pair of split rolled biscuits that pull apart in dense layers. The Nooner kitchen wisely avoids trying to make it pretty — this is comfort food, after all, a hot plate to finally warm your bones on a rainy morning, not a beauty contest. Best to keep it simple.

Morning, porkchop So if we’re willing to blur the line between breakfast and lunch, we may as well luge down the slippery slope to dinner. We’re really only an order of steak and eggs away. Abandon labels and be free. Well, at least until Café Waterfront (102 F St., Eureka) stops serving breakfast around 11 a.m. We got a tip chicken fried pork chop was on the specials board ($13.95) and followed it up, though to be honest it could have been chicken fried

hammers and we’d still have tried it once. The dinner-sized cut of pork is crusted with seasoned bread crumbs, rather than a traditional flour coating, making it closer to a schnitzel, but it’s glorious and we’re not hung up on labels anymore, remember? The meat itself is tender and juicy enough to serve without the accompanying cascade of caramel-tinted pan gravy, which is rich and picks up the flavor of the Parmesan in the breadcrumbs. It’s flanked by a couple of lovely eggs and herbed potatoes. Before you choose your toast, consider the cinnamon and almond coffee cake, a warm square of which is a breakfast/brunch game changer. Does it count as dessert? Tsk. Labels. l Share your hot tips on food around the county with Jennifer Fumiko Cahill, arts and features editor at the Journal.

Contents Under Pressure: Graffiti at Piante Idle Hands group show remembers the Devil’s Playground By Gabrielle Gopinath artbeat@northcoastjournal.com

“

veryone who knows about it is very excited to see what craziness I have agreed to this time,” gallerist Sue Natzler said with a laugh about the graffiti art exhibition opening this month at Piante Gallery. The installation was in the final stages of completion when I saw it and indeed, the place looked changed. Guest curator Matthew Ananda Oliveri, who organized the show, sheathed the gallery walls in Tyvek and invited some 20 graffiti artists to do what they liked with the space. As is common practice among graffiti writers and street artists, these artists chose not to be identified other than by their writers’ tags. The gallery walls that normally frame artworks for display became the art, as TOYO, WONG and others spray-painted them into a blazingly colored palimpsest of artists’ marks over a period of weeks. The results are high-energy and intensely colorful: Imagery comes blasting at you from all directions. We’re used to viewing artworks that are neatly framed, often by a screen’s parameters, but here the art frames us. Viewed here at close range in 360-degree surround, graffiti takes on a heightened intensity. That’s good because it goes some distance to make up for the inevitable deflation of presence that follows when you bring a medium made for the streets indoors. Touring the space is like overhearing an animated conversation taking place among 20-odd people who would self-identify as homies, with the volume turned up to nine. When I visited, industrial fans were moving air through the space at a brisk clip but the smell of spray paint lingered. Piante has not shown graffiti artists’ work before; the exhibition represents an expansion that has been eye-opening for

some. “Some friends asked, ‘Are you sure this is Piante?’” Natzler allowed, gesturing at the wildly-colored walls surrounding her. At first glance, graffiti might seem a medium apart from the more refined and/ or conceptually oriented artworks Piante often shows. But Natzler, a longtime street art fan, said she had been motivated to show works by local graffiti artists ever since the site known as the Devil’s Playground was destroyed by the city of Eureka in 2016. “This exhibition was intended as a response to the Devil’s Playground — a response to the depth of talent in the murals there and also a response to the misguided destruction of the space,” she explained. “We say we want to be a city of the arts here in Eureka ... but then we bulldoze the art.” Natzler cited Miami’s Wynwood Walls open-air graffiti site, a tourist destination in its own right, as an example of the positive synergy that might result from a more productive, results-oriented civic approach to engaging with community artists. The exhibition title cites a Bible verse from the Book of Proverbs that has often been weaponized against “creatives” and malingerers: “Idle hands are the devil’s workshop.” Eurekan graffiti artists put a spin on that truism, starting in the 1980s or ’90s when the first lawbreaker with a can of Krylon and a dream of seeing his or her name writ large climbed inside the cavernous ruins of the Pacific Lumber Company mill to tag the space. The illegal graffiti zone gained fame — first the graffiti writers and then everyone else started calling it the Devil‘s Playground. It seems right that this grass-roots art revival would have blossomed in the literal ruins of the timber industry that no doubt employed some of these artists’ parents and grandparents. The shift from “workshop” to “play-

ground” was surely significant; the devil, no longer the grim taskmaster of the King James translation, has been reimagined for this post-industrial, post-theological American century as (what else?) an evil clown, part John Wayne Gacy, part Juggalo, part Pennywise. He appears here several times beneath the scrawled inscription “idle hands are the devil’s playground.” Many of the artists showing here are Devil’s Playground veterans. Just about every form of graffiti art that has appeared since the medium’s inception is represented, including the tag, the throw-up, the portrait, the sticker and the stencil. Imagery ranges. Demons, ghouls and skeletons mug and writhe. A topless woman meditates in sukhasana. Cranes wing their way across a sunset sky. A specimen of the colorful psychedelic mushroom Amanita muscaria, as prominently represented in local forests as it is in Super Mario Brothers, flashes a toothy grin (the punny inscription above it says “Fun-Guy”). Some exhibition participants layer imagery to create complex, multi-layered surfaces that go well beyond the speedy execution associated with many street art forms. Others wield spray cans in the traditional manner to create tags as gnomically complex as those executed in New

York in the 1970s and early ’80s, during the period historians characterize as the art’s first golden age. Yet despite the chops many participants display, this is not your pop’s graffiti. Graffiti art has been around long enough to reflect on its own history and status. These artists are working not only with ideas drawn from graffiti’s past but from the whole history of art as well. Next to the diversity of themes and approaches on display the virtuosic productions of the original wildstyle era, elaborate statements of the name, look like icy formalism by comparison. “Idle Hands” will be on display at Piante Gallery at 620 Second St. in Old Town Eureka through the month of February.

On the Rocks

Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? at Ferndale Rep By David Jervis

frontrow@northcoastjournal.com

ho’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? looms large in the collective mind. Born as a Tony Award-winning play from the pen of the great Edward Albee in 1962, it was adapted for the screen four years later. And this is how many people, myself included, were first introduced to this story — with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, by the force of their movie careers, by their off-camera lives together and how devastatingly great they were in the roles, cementing it as iconic. But one has to forget all that in order to sit down and take it in as a play. Again, it was a work of the stage originally and Ferndale Repertory Theatre’s flat-out amazing staging of it will either remind you of that or be greatly revelatory. At just around three hours long, the play never lags but always buzzes, menaces, edges close to uncomfortable truths and then barrels dead-center into a good number of them. And it’s to Albee’s credit, right alongside FRT’s cast, that it does so with a searing edge alongside indisputable comic precision. George (Daniel Baer) and Martha (Ruthi Engelke), a middle-aged married couple, return to their home around 2 a.m. He’s an associate history professor at a New England university and Martha, his longtime wife, is daughter of the university president. They’ve been at a faculty cocktail party and they arrive home as many couples do from such events: A little (well, fairly) drunk and with somewhat differing

ideas of the experience. George would care for nothing more than go to bed or simply have some more highballs, but learns that Martha has invited a younger couple from the soiree — a professor and his wife — over for drinks. After George and Martha spar and drink (I’d dare you to keep track of how many drinks are poured over three acts but it’s impossible), the couple, Nick (Travis J. Morris) and Honey (Holly Portman), eventually arrives. And there aren’t many pleasantries beyond the smallest ones with this four-person dynamic — Nick and Honey are on George and Martha’s turf and will find themselves playing by their hosts’ rules, no matter how demented. Words aren’t wasted here and neither is the smallest gesture, glare or cry. Albee’s play is staggeringly wordy but so much is in service of something that comes to pass later. None of this would ignite very well without the right cast. This is a story in which all four of the actors have moments they must carry and yet at the same time everyone has to mesh perfectly together. Baer’s George is remarkable — to the untrained eye, this may seem like an easy role but it’s not at all and Baer does a brilliant job building its intensity. What goes on over three acts — with the ebb and flow and shifting power dynamic between George and Martha — is roiling and it takes subtle talent to nail. Like Baer, Engelke is a relative newcomer to local theater and she is outstanding as Martha. Her character is possibly even more challenging, as Engelke has to hit so

many emotional keys from beginning to end. Morris does a great job as Nick, and Portman shines in the smaller role as his wife, veering between sheer comedy and darker moments. Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is much more than one long argument between a married couple, with another couple joining in, although people may see it that way. They shouldn’t. The story propels inevitably to the dark secret at its center and the jousting is what draws everything and everyone closer to that. George and Martha are smart people who know how to draw blood as well as withdraw. Their intelligence, their near-animal instincts, their seemingly innate knowledge of how to get under one other’s skin are not the things of any mere argument. George and Martha bellow that they’d be happy to plunge one another into the abyss but, really, neither has any intention of going down that way alone. Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? plays at the Ferndale Repertory Theatre on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. through Feb. 3, with a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. on Feb. 4. It then plays at the Arcata Playhouse from Feb. 9 through Feb. 17 on Fridays and

Setlist

Bowled Over By Collin Yeo

thesetlist@northcoastjournal.com

anuary has come and gone, and now midwinter has truly set in. With it comes the shortest month and, for many, the biggest sports event of the year as well: the Super Bowl. I used to enjoy watching football but the commercialization and hyper-militarized nationalism of the culture coupled with the extreme reactionary response from many of the fans and owners to some athletes making a quiet protest against the state-sanctioned murder of people of color by the police has largely turned me away from the NFL this year. Everything is politics, as Gore Vidal noted, and American politics are truly ugly in these dying days of the empire. Anyway, here’s a couple of hot takes while the issue is fresh and I have some ink left. 1) I don’t gamble — largely because gambling disagreeably chafes against my numerous other vices — but if I did my money would be on the Pats taking this one, no matter how satisfying it would be to root for the underdog team with arguably the most notoriously loathsome fanbase on the East Coast. (Philly fans once attacked Santa Claus. Look it up if you don’t believe me.) 2) Don’t be one of those people who makes smug Facebook posts or public declarations of feigned surprise that there is apparently some big sports-ball event happening, or at least that is what you have surmised from the gesticulations and grunts of your less enlightened fellow citizens. We get it, you probably don’t own a TV and are immeasurably better than the rest of us. Instead of being that insufferable, how about you throw down and go out and support the local music scene? Lots of good shows are happening this week, and some of them are free. 3) If you see a guy who looks like me hanging out in an off-track betting bar on Super Bowl Sunday, maybe buy him a drink. Something tells me he’ll need one and likely won’t have the money for it after losing his shirt on the Eagles. Have a great week.

Thursday Olympia’s DIY-born and bred K Records is one of those phenomena in the history of American music that make the most

sense looking backward through the trajectory of pop culture. The early home of indie groups like Built To Spill and Bikini Kill began at a time when punk rock was undergoing an identity crises between the machismo of hardcore and the nuance of a new generation of musicians defined by their introversion, wry humor and far-left sexual and identity politics, and who would end up dominating the indie scene by the 1990s. K Records served as a sort of foil to the louder/heavier dynamic found in neighboring label Kill Rock Stars’ releases. One of its flagship bands was the quietly coy and inscrutable Beat Happening, whose frontman is K Records label founder Calvin Johnson, who plays the Outer Space tonight at 7 p.m. with locals Monster Women and Slop opening ($8). Expect deep monotone vocals and clever lyrics over a twee pop wash of tone.

Friday Fieldbrook Market and Eatery presents a free show tonight at 7:30 p.m. with country artist Bradley Dean. Local reggae artists get together at Humbrews tonight under the moniker of The Marley Project to play the music of — wait for it — Bob Marley and the Wailers. The show gets cracking at 9:30 p.m. and for $10 it’s a pretty good deal to hear the Bobster’s tunes done live and done right by some of our county’s finest musicians.

Saturday For more than five decades Canadian national treasure Bruce Cockburn has been writing and performing music marked by complex and sometimes percussive acoustic guitar, intricate and tender arrangements, and lyrics that harken to themes of ecological threats, social justice and the good sort of Christian spirituality. A favorite rainy-day song of mine is the instrumental “Water Into Wine,” a song that manages to be at once evocative of old Spanish tunes and American piano rags, while sitting in a nest of contemporary tones and modern motifs. He plays the Van Duzer tonight at 8 p.m. and if you can get a ticket ($49) I suggest you go because the man ain’t getting any younger. Meanwhile at The Jam, Jamaica’s dancehall deejay extraordinaire Delly Ranx

Holus Bolus plays the Clam Beach Tavern on Wednesday, Feb. 7 at 6 p.m. Courtesy of the artist

shares the stage at 9 p.m. with some luminaries of the local reggae and dancehall scene, including Stevie Culture, Lacy Redhead, One Wise Sound and others ($7).

Sunday For more than a century, Minnesota’s world-renowned St. Olaf Choir has been performing deftly arranged versions of spirituals and songs of worship as well as some of the heavy-hitters from the secular classical canon like “Lacrimosa” from Mozart’s Requiem. Expect a night of exactly that sort of thing when conductor Anton Armstrong and his cohort of purple-robed wonders take the stage at the Van Duzer Theatre today for a Sunday matinee at 3 p.m. ($49).

Monday Bill Frisell might be my favorite modern guitar player. His 2000 album Ghost Town is certainly among my favorite albums of all time, with its blend of haunting and heart-worn cinema-scapes drifting through a tracklist full of stringed instruments that ring out more often than just pluck their plaintive and perfect notes. It’s something I return to again and again. In fact, I am listening to the title track right now. Anyway, tonight 7:30 p.m. the Minor Theatre is showing a documentary about the man’s life and works called Bill Frisell: A Portrait (price TBA). The show will be accompanied by a live performance of his work arranged and played by Frisell collaborator Jenny Scheinman, with help from John Wood. I’m not gonna lie, this will probably sell out. In which case you should perhaps stay in and explore

Bill’s back catalogue of music. He’s really worth it.

Tuesday Another sort of instrumental experience awaits you tonight at Blondies as Cabbagehead plays a free show at 7 p.m. A collective of jazz punk aficionados from the Bay Area, Cabbagehead bills itself as “spazz jazz,” with a claim of equal inspiration being drawn from the likes of Frank Zappa and Duke Ellington. Having a hard time squaring that circle? Me too. Maybe come down to the bottom of the hill tonight to figure it all out.

Wednesday

Crescent City’s Tom Boylan, aka Holus Bolus, has been spending the last decade bringing his one-man band to as many places as he can to play a wild and loopy mix of jammy acoustic groove rock. Armed with a small drum kit, a guitar and a few pedals, Holus Bolus builds songs out of loops and grooves like a sewing machine and LP record lathe hybrid. That simile might not make any sense — I’m on the last fumes of my evening presently — but what does make sense is heading over to the Clam Beach Tavern tonight at 6 p.m. for a free show of dedicated psychedelic grooves played by a neighbor from the North. 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.

Get Inked

The Arte of Comedy

If the sound of tattoo guns buzzing gets your blood pumping, grit your teeth for the adrenaline rush of the Inked Hearts Tattoo Expo, four days of tattoos, contests, vendors and shows happening Feb. 1-4 at Blue Lake Casino from 11 a.m.10 p.m. Feb. 1-3 and 11 a.m.-6 p.m. on Feb. 4 ($10 daily entry, $30 all-event pass). Hosts Ted and Amy Marks of Nor Cal Tattoo are bringing all the big guns back this year, plus some talented up-and-comers. So make an appointment and treat yourself to that Last Jedi Porg tattoo (those eyes!) or finally “fix” the name of your one true love. Featured artists Liz Cook, Tye Harris and Joshua Carlton, along with over 30 others, will be tattooing on site the run of the expo. If crowds of pierced and tatted people aren’t hot enough, this year takes the heat up a notch with a Hot Wings of Death chicken wing-eating contest Saturday from noon to 1 p.m., brought to you by Humboldt Hot Sauce, and a Hot Guy/Hot Girl Contest on Friday from 6 to 8 p.m. But the real cuties will be working the catwalk on all fours during the Super Bully Bowl — an English and French bulldog pageant on Sunday from noon to 1 p.m. We’re drooling already. And don’t miss the evening tattoo contests Friday through Sunday, where you can see some of the best ink around. This is an all ages event — teens 16-18, bring a parent with you if you want that “Mom” heart tattoo. You may be a rebel, but rules is rules. —Kali Cozyris

See one of the best and earliest forms of improv comedy when the Dell’Arte International School of Physical Theater’s first-year students present Viva Commedia! Feb. 1-3 at 8 p.m. at Dell’Arte’s Carlo Theatre (pay what you can). Commedia dell’arte, going back centuries, is marked by bold physical play, over-the-top exaggerated performances with actors in masks portraying universal archetypes and stock characters. It is mostly improvised, based around loose scenarios, with skilled physical play. Sometimes employing acrobatics and always larger than life, commedia actors use their entire bodies to convey emotion and reaction, often breaking the fourth wall to include the audience. The term “slapstick” originated with this form of theater because of a contraption where two wooden pieces were slapped together creating a loud “whack” when a character’s ass was smacked. So you know what you’re in for. Always an audience favorite, this student show is one of the school’s most popular. Uncensored and bawdy, it is great fun for adults but not appropriate for younger viewers. (Who knows what else may be smacked.) See what the first-year students have learned — extra padding, perhaps? — you won’t be disappointed. Shows sell out every year, so call ahead (668-5663) to reserve your spot. —Kali Cozyris

Lost in the Darkness Hostiles and the point of violence By John J. Bennett

HOSTILES. I’ve been perhaps misguidedly attempting to sort out my feelings about writer/director Scott Cooper’s work — generally but also in this column — since Crazyheart (2009), his feature debut. That movie got all kinds of press, most of it for Jeff Bridges’ lead performance and most of that well deserved. Even then I had the distinct feeling that Cooper was somehow putting one over on the audience, convincing them, through excellent casting and production design, that he was enjoining them (us, I suppose) to follow him into a place of authentic darkness. As much as I wanted to, I wasn’t buying it back then and I still don’t. Cooper went on to make Out of the Furnace (2013), a movie about brothers contending with hard times that should have gutted me, and then Black Mass (2015), wherein he set Johnny Depp loose on the James “Whitey” Bulger story and made a run at encapsulating the baseballbats-and-broken-glass ethos and esthetic of Boston crime life. Like Crazy Heart, both movies could be defined by admirers by their many successes: The look and feel are just about spot-on, the carefully selected casts give notable performances and the stories themselves are genuinely interesting and fundamentally well crafted. Technically speaking, they approach greatness. Their

shortcomings, which could fairly be said to dwell mostly in the eye of this beholder, are in the storytelling, the insight and impulse of the teller of that story. Cooper seems to be fascinated by the darkness; loss and violence and chaos largely define his work. But the result of his examination of these ideas, the movies themselves, feel distanced from the truth of them, almost antiseptic. It’s a little like watching a tiger eat a store-bought chicken in a cage at a zoo. There is truth in the violence but it barely hints at its fullness and finality. Hostiles may be the most pointed example of the frustrating duality in Cooper’s work. As it moves even closer to the hardness of human nature, focusing on people defined by the taking of life, it pulls ever further back from the reality of their actions, kid-gloving the violence so much that it threatens to undo the admirably committed performances of its cast and the achievements of the crew behind the camera. Case in point: Minutes into the thing, a baby in swaddling clothes is shot (!). Even the suggestion of this provokes, or should provoke, a visceral response. In the context of Hostiles, though, it doesn’t resonate at all. The argument could be made that Cooper is suggesting something about the daily difficulty of life in this time and place, or that such things must become “a thing that happened,” even as they are happening, but I’m not

buying it. Given his body of work, I see this as just one pointed example of the fundamental flaw inherent in his storytelling. Through some unfortunate combination of composition, editing, music and performance, the vitality and horror of the moment are absented, and we are left with Rosamund Pike pulling faces, holding a blanket covered in stage blood; we are outside the truth of the thing. As the movie opens in New Mexico, 1892, the homesteading Quaid family is approached by a Comanche raiding party. Wesley (Scott Shepherd) starts blindly and ill-advisedly shooting at their would-be assailants, after ordering Rosalie (Pike) to flee with their daughters and above-mentioned swaddled son. Wesley is summarily dispatched and the children fall in a somewhat implausible hail of gunfire, leaving Rosalie the lone survivor. Meanwhile, nearby, U.S. Army Capt. Joseph J. Blocker (Christian Bale) commands a cavalry unit tasked with rounding up and incarcerating the few indigenous people remaining in the area. Blocker is a warrior defined by the friends he has lost and armored in his hatred of the “enemy.” He also speaks the language of the Cheyenne and knows intimately the trails and waterways of the area. As such, he is both the best and worst man for the detail to which he is assigned. Yellow Hawk (Wes Studi), a Cheyenne chief who has been imprisoned with his family for seven years in New Mexico, is dying of cancer. He has petitioned the U.S. government to be released so that he might draw his last breath in Montana, his home. His request is granted by personal letter from President Harrison, and Blocker, despite his protestations, is selected to escort Yellow Hawk and his immediate family northward. Along the way, the unlikely group picks up

the shock-addled Rosalie Quaid, contends with the Comanche group from the opening, is set upon by rapacious trappers and takes on the ill-fated job of escorting a sadistic, vengeful prisoner (Ben Foster). And in the end, Blocker comes to learn that he and Yellow Hawk may not be that different after all. Hostiles pays homage to the Western and to some of the classics of the genre, but it falls well short in either commenting on that genre or adding anything to it. Bale goes all in with his performance, as is his practice, and is fairly upstaged by Rory Cochrane as his right hand, playing Master Sergeant Tommy Metz, a career soldier whose conscience may well be his undoing. The costumery and the landscape against which the action takes place are both classic, near-perfect. But the lack of true moral ambiguity, the narrative distance, the simplicity and cautiousness with which the material is approached all contribute to the lasting effect of Hostiles, which is an absence of effect, an overall lack of resonance.

CALL ME BY YOUR NAME. Based on the novel by Andre Aciman, Luca Guadagnino’s love story chronicles a brief but intense relationship between a precocious teenager (Timothée Chalamet) and a visiting grad student (Armie Hammer). R.

shooty Sheriff’s department team closes in. Starring Gerard Butler in bear mode and 50 Cent. R. 140M. BROADWAY. THE GREATEST SHOWMAN. A glossy, glitzy musical about a complicated man. Hugh Jackman plays P.T. Barnum, an abolitionist and social reformer who made his money off “freak shows” and minstrelsy. Michelle Williams and Zac Efron also star. Statue of Barnum on the Arcata Plaza unlikely. PG. 105M. BROADWAY, FORTUNA. JUMANJI: WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE. A remake of a 1995 Robin Williams vehicle that somehow combines Breakfast Club teen dynamics, body-swap comedies, aggressive hippos and The Rock’s skeptical eyebrow? Sure, why not? PG-13. 119M. BROADWAY, FORTUNA, MILL CREEK.

MAZE RUNNER: THE DEATH CURE. More video game inspired action with a boy band of rebels, now freed from their maze, fighting an oppressive regime of lame adults who are sacrificing teens to find a cure for a deadly disease.

THE POST. With a stellar performance by Meryl Streep as Washington Post publisher Katharine Graham and masterful direction by Steven Spielberg, this true newsroom drama about publishing the Pentagon Papers is artful, entertaining and edifying.

I, TONYA. Margot Robbie plays the infamous Olympic figure skater Tonya Harding, whose husband (Sebastian Stan) attempted to kneecap her rival. With Allison Janney as her relentless mother. R.

THE SHAPE OF WATER. Guillermo del Toro’s exquisitely designed and executed love story/fable/tribute to monster movies of yesteryear showcases career-best performances from its cast, including Sally Hawkins as a mute woman who falls in love with an amphibian played by the lithe Doug Jones, with Michael Shannon as an evil scientist. R. 123M. BROADWAY, MILL CREEK,

120M. BROADWAY, MILL CREEK, MINIPLEX.

WINCHESTER. It’s 500 rooms (and counting) of haunted house with Helen Mirren in head-to-toe black lace as the heir to the Winchester rifle empire. With Jason Clarke as the doctor sent to assess her sanity. PG13. 99M. FORTUNA.

STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI. An ambitious, funny installment of the beloved franchise that should satisfy both mega-fans and fair-weather Wookies. PG13.

THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI. A sterling cast (Woody Harrelson, Frances McDormand, Sam Rockwell, Abbie Cornish, Zeljko Ivanek and Peter Dinklage) does admirable work in a drama about a small-town murder but the film unravels in the last act. R. 115M. BROADWAY, MILL CREEK.

INTERVIEW WITH FBI INFORMANT MARK WHITACRE SCREENED AT LIFETREE CAFÉ The Archer Daniels Midland price−fixing scandal resulted in a record $100 million fine˙and at the center of the scandal was ADM executive Mark Whitacre. An exclusive filmed interview with Whitacre will be screened and discussed at Lifetree Café on Sunday, February 4 at 7 p.m. The program, titled "Whistleblower: The True Story of an FBI informant,"will explore why Whitacre participated in a crime that defrauded millions of American consumers. It will also explore the effects of his decision to cooperate with authorities in prose− cuting the crime. "I wore a wire for three years, and it was the most pressure I’ve had in my life,"Whitacre says. "Prison is a cakewalk compared to wearing a wire for the FBI."During the session Lifetree participants will have the opportunity to discuss times they’ve faced difficult moral deci− sions. Admission to the 60−minute event is free. Lifetree Café is located at Campbell Creek Connexion on the corner of Union and 13th St., Arcata.

Pretty, crunchy razor clam shells. Photo by Mike Kelly

Dig Those Razor Clams By Mike Kelly

washedup@northcoastjournal.com

he other day my imaginary friend said, “Your little stories there in the back pages of the local weekly … They’re OK.” “Just OK?” I asked. “Yeah. They’re too much like beachcomber pornography. You strut onto the beach, instantly presented with fantastic big squids. And your threesome with the lancetfish and spiny dogfish was hot but you’re giving impressionable beachgoers unrealistic expectations. Tone it down — talk about clam shells or something.” My imaginary friend is usually a dumbass but I see clam shells every time I go to the beach. And clam shells can thrill. If you’ve ever had the sensation of a very deep itch being scratched upon finding a perfect clam shell, no need to be ashamed. Let’s consider the gorgeous Pacific razor clam (Siliqua patula). The inside of their shells feature a pretty purple and they make a satisfying crunch when you step on them. Being clams, the razor clam is a bivalve mollusc (or “mollusk” if you are intimidated by the Windows spellchecker). Siliqua patula means “pod that is spread out.” But my imaginary friend vetoed my joke for that. “Bivalve” means they have two halves to their shells. “Mollusc” indicates that they are related to mussels, oysters and such, and more distantly to snails, chitons, squids and octopi. And as a bivalve mollusc, a razor clam is a filter feeder that can pick up unpopular toxins like domoic acid from algae blooms. So always check the California Department of Fish and Wildlife website for warnings and seasonal closures before you heed the following advice. Of all living things on this planet, the razor clam is one of the yummiest. If you have a friend who harvests them, you should be extra nice to that person around the low tides. For example: Hey, Dan! You’re an awesome friend. See you around, man. Despite the skills, good looks and sheer athleticism of people like my kick-ass friend Dan (How’s it goin’, buddy?), a combination of

regulations, the species’ biology and harvest methods make the recreational razor clam fishery in California sustainable, according to those who evaluate these matters, like the Safina Center. The razor clam lives in the surf zone of sandy beaches and some of their beds are exposed during the lowest tides. They are a relatively short-lived clam, hitting an average of about five to seven years on California beaches. Unlike their less tasty relative the mussel, razor clams are not bearded. That is, they do not have those byssal threads that mussels use for anchorage. In fact, razor clams are one of the fastest burrowing of the bivalves. And also in “fact,” clam races were once a popular pastime among clam and liquor aficionados of early so-called Humboldt County. When those recent immigrants weren’t committing atrocities, some of them organized “clam jubilees.” But adult razor clams only burrow one direction: straight down. Which means the finish line was deep under the sand and no one was ever sure which clam won. Therefore, brawls, or “donnybrooks,” were common at these events. Between the donnybrooks, paralytic shellfish poisoning (which is very nasty) and drowning drunk, the clam racers died out quickly and apparently nobody misses them. Razor clams are very fecund. As such, a female razor clam can produce up to 118 million eggs and, hypothetically, they all could be fertilized by nearby man-clams. Razor clams become able to engage in sexual activity beginning at about 4 inches long, which is certainly a realistic expectation. Of course, if all those cute little free-swimming baby razor clams settled and grew up, we’d be swept over by a clam tsunomnomi and have to eat our way out. So put some butter, garlic and maybe some bread crumbs in your emergency survival kit. ● Biologist Mike Kelly writes other stuff as M. Sid Kelly on Amazon.
