‘Enough Excuses’ Editor: My goodness. What has happened to Humboldt State University? How can anyone blame leadership of 10 to 30 years ago for the current enrollment and budget crisis? The scuttlebutt is that there are many administrative/ management positions on campus that are vacant or filled with interim appointments. Without effective, competent administrators, who is responsible to provide fiscal oversight and leadership (“Kicking Third Street Gallery to the Curb?,” posted online Jan. 13)? Yikes. So how many programs are to be downsized or phased out? What about the Third Street Gallery, Coral Sea, Natural History Museum, Center Arts, KHSU, Telonicher Marine Laboratory? All of these provide an educational experience through participation and/or observation. If HSU’s Third Street Gallery and Coral Sea are let go, does that mean the Art and Fisheries Department will be eliminated? What else is slated to be downsized or eliminated? Humboldt State University is a significant economic engine in our community. HSU is not a commuter university — it’s a residential university and next year it looks like HSU is on it’s way to having 1,000 fewer students. What’s up with recruiting — has it gone by the wayside? Poor management, who is responsible? Egad, enough excuses, leadership needs to be accountable. Our hopes for a

better future in Humboldt County are directly tied to Humboldt State’s ability to solve the current budget and enrollment crisis. The infrastructure exists for Humboldt State to be a distinguished leader in public higher education but, first, who will set the course and lead us forward? Time is of the essence. Alex Stillman, Arcata

Don’t Boo, Call Editor: I sympathize with the feelings Cheri Ward expressed in her letter (Mailbox, Feb. 1) — empowered by the Women’s March, discouraged by sexism (and racism and classism and …) and angry. So many of us are struggling with that difficult combination of feelings. The most effective solution I’ve found is going to the Power (to the People) Lunch group and making phone calls to help persuade legislators and others to do the right thing. I find it to be a focused, empowering time of joining with others to work for change in a very concrete way. It’s a lot better than feeling angry, discouraged and appalled at what is happening in the U.S. The call sheets have clear information and targeted scripts to make each phone call easy and effective. The topics are all issues that other groups in the U.S. are also calling about. We meet the second and fourth Thursday of the month at the Creamery Building in Arcata, from noon to 1:30 p.m.

It’s fun and productive and a great lunch is served, too. If you can’t get to the meetings, you can sign up via the Power Lunch Humboldt Facebook page or send an email to powertothepeoplelunch1@gmail.com and get the call sheets, pick an issue and call. Even better, get together with a friend and make calls together. This phone action group that makes phone calls is a great remedy for any kind of feelings of disempowerment. Join us!

Off Limits Editor: The Trump Administration released a draft plan to open up coastal waters to oil drilling from along the Atlantic region, the Gulf of Mexico, Pacific Region and off the coast of Alaska (“Interior Releases Draft Plan to Open North Coast Waters to Oil Drilling,” posted online Jan. 4). This means us, folks, and points south and north of us along the West Coast if this plan is approved. It means more oil spills, more carbon being released into the atmosphere, health crises, more tragic weather related emergencies, more displaced populations as sea levels rise and parts of the world are too hot for habitation. It also means more money into the pockets of energy extraction corporations. The resources that will be necessary to start pumping oil from the ocean floors could be used to expand solar, wind, wave generation and bio-fuels to generate cleaner fuels. It could be used to develop the infrastructure for electric car “pumping” stations from the West Coast to the East Coast. We all need to do our part to lower our carbon footprint and live sustainable lives. We live in an excellent part of the country to reach a 100 percent renewable energy supply. But, it’s hard to do this alone. We need to work together to achieve this goal. If you are

interested in getting involved, there is a branch of www.350.org in Humboldt County that is working on these issues. I also encourage you to write U.S. Interior Secretary Zinke to let him know the North Coast should be kept off limits. Gail Coonen, Freshwater

Incumbents take commanding fundraising leads in Supes races By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

ometimes it pays to be the incumbent. That definitely appears to be the case in the races for two seats on the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors, in which incumbents Ryan Sundberg and Virginia Bass have jumped out to almost ten-fold fundraising leads over their opponents. The two races — which so far have five candidates vying to represent the Fourth and Fifth districts — saw the candidates combine to fill their war chests with more than $70,000 in cash contributions over the second half of 2017, according to campaign finance disclosure forms filed with the Humboldt County Elections office. However, that sum was not equally distributed, as the aforementioned incumbents combined to raise 87 percent of the total, a sum of more than $62,000. Passed in 1974, California’s Political Reform Act aimed to promote transparency by requiring donors and candidates to disclose who they’re giving money to and who they’re getting it from, allowing vot-

ers to take that into account and make informed decisions. The law requires local political candidates to regularly file Form 460s, which detail their fundraising efforts, including each person or business that donated more than $100 to their campaigns. The forms give the public a glimpse into what industries and which people are funding specific candidates’ campaigns. The latest filings, which had to be postmarked to the elections office by the close of January, have a wealth of information about how the supervisors races will shape up and who’s lining up to support whom.

The Fighting Fifth

In the Fifth District, Sundberg, a twoterm incumbent who was appointed last year by Gov. Jerry Brown to become the first Native American to serve on the California Coastal Commission, is being challenged by Steven Madrone, the executive director of the Mattole Salmon Group with decades of trail and water-

shed project experience who also teaches in the Forestry and Wildland Resources Department at Humboldt State University. Sundberg ended the reporting period having raked in $31,130 in cash donations and with almost $37,000 in cash on hand. Sundberg received a total of 12 contributions of $1,500, the max allowable under the county code, and, on average, received more than $800 from each of his 38 listed contributors. He also reported receiving $3,215 in un-itemized donations of less than $100. The cannabis industry seems to have lined up behind Sundberg, who helped pass the county’s land use ordinance ushering in the era of permitted grows. In total, Sundberg reported raising more than $7,000 from cannabis businesses and people who work for them, plus another $3,000 from a pair of limited liability corporations — Mad River Estates LLC and Humboldt Healthcare — with no web presence beyond a registry with the California Secretary of State’s Office and a corresponding post office box. (He also got another $1,500 from Mad River Estates’ operations manager.) Sundberg also reported receiving $3,500 worth of nonmonetary contributions from Cody Stross, owner of Northern Emeralds, which has cultivation operations in Sundberg’s district, in the form of food, drinks and music for a fundraiser. Sundberg also received $1,000 from Coastal Commissioner Dayna Bochco of Santa Monica, and $1,500 each from San Bernardino County Supervisor James Ramos and his wife, Theresa. In total, a little more than 20 percent of Sundberg’s itemized monetary contributions came from businesses or people who listed addresses within the Fifth District.

tember, reported receiving $3,730 in cash contributions before the end of the year, including $799 in unitemized donations of less than $100. Madrone received 10 donations above the reporting threshold, for an average contribution of $293. His largest contributors were the Humboldt-Del Norte Central Labor Council and Suzzane Cook, with both donating $990. In total, about 52 percent of Madrone’s itemized monetary contributions came from Fifth District addresses. On the spending side, Sundberg reported donating a total of $630 to the Mad River Rotary and the Boys and Girls Club of the Redwoods, paying out $1,000 in campaign employee salary, $285 to www.directpromotionals.com and spending a total of $1,453 at Costco for office supplies. Madrone, meanwhile, reported having shelled out a total of $114.30 — $40.30 in online donation fees from Stripe and Square, $50 for starting a savings account at Coast Central Credit Union and another $24 for for failing to meet its minimum balance.

The battle for the Fourth pits Bass, a two-term incumbent who also serves as vice president of the California State Association of Counties, against a pair of challengers: cannabis consultant Danielle Burkhart and Mary Ann Lyons, a K-8 teacher and grassroots political organizer. Bass has dominated the early fundraising thus far, reporting a whopping 73 donations of $100 or more in the filing period (at an average clip of $358 apiece) and total monetary contributions of almost $31,000. She received a total of five maximum contributions of $1,500 each and finished the filing period with more than $45,000 in cash on hand. She also reported receiving about $4,800 in unitemized contributions of $100 or less. About 29 percent of Bass’ reported contributions came from within her district and she appears to have benefitted from her time with the state counties association, receiving nine donations from sitting county supervisors (or their campaigns) in other parts of the state totaling $2,950. That’s more than either of her opponents’ total reported contributions. Bass’ max contributions came from GR Sundberg, a cannabis consultant, and the aforementioned Stross, Ramos and Humboldt Healthcare LLC. Meanwhile, Burkhart, who appears to have only begun fundraising in October,

reported receiving a total of $2,126 in monetary contributions, $376 of which came in the form of donations of less than $100. She reported receiving five donations of more than $100, including a $1,000 donation from herself. Her other largest donors were George Walker of Humboldt County Processing Co. and Studio City attorney Eugene Patterson Harris, who donated $300 and $250, respectively. If you include Burkhart’s donation, 63 percent of her itemized total came from within the Fourth District. If you exclude it, that number drops to 13 percent. Burkhart also reported receiving about $767 in nonmonetary contributions, including a “political data list” from Christopher Niehaus and alcohol for a fundraiser from Steve Luu. She finished the reported period with $812 in cash on hand. Lyons, meanwhile, trails her opponents, having raised a total of $2,100 from four donors. The largest of those came in the form of $1,500 from the local United Food and Commercial Workers union. She also reported receiving $250 from Madeline Restaino, of Placerville, $200 from Thomas Gage, of Fortuna, and $150 from Josie Brown, of Petrolia. Counting the union donation, 71 percent of Lyons’ contributions came from within the Fourth District. She finished the period with $1,310 in cash on hand. On the expense side of the equation, Lyons reported spending about $520 combined on stickers, banners and buttons at Scrappers Edge and Advanced Signs in Eureka. Burkhart, for her part, reported spending about $934 on campaign materials, fundraising efforts promotional materials and a website, mostly through local vendors. Bass meanwhile, made some donations from her campaign account, including $1,125 to the Sequoia Park Zoo Foundation, $175 to Planned Parenthood, $100 to the Eureka Rescue Mission, $250 to the Humboldt Democratic Central Committee and $311 to the library foundation. She also spent some cash: a total of $3,808 for a website, fundraising efforts, campaign literature and a public affairs consultant. The next round of campaign finance disclosures are due to be filed with the elections office in April. l Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor.

Not Another Winter to Wonder By Peg Anderson

views@northcoastjournal.com

am one of the coordinators of the extreme weather shelter group in Southern Humboldt. Last year was our first year of sheltering. We opened the doors in alternating churches 17 times in an unusually wet and cold winter. We supplied sleeping bags, mats, clothing, hygiene supplies and food each time we sheltered. The same 12 to 15 people showed up, mostly men. Our criteria for opening was 34 degrees or below. Each event involved three days of coordinating, cooking, cleaning and overnight duty in varying degrees for each volunteer. This year is different. The temperatures have been higher and rain has been scarce. We sheltered twice when the forecast was 28 or 29 degrees, but it never got below 36 on those nights. I see the same people come in. I wonder how they survive. The men seem more and more broken. The women seem exhausted but better able to take care of themselves. We continually buy sleeping bags because many bags get stolen or wet in the camps and we give them to those who need them. We go through a lot of socks because people can’t wash or dry them. I’m supposed to feel good about helping people survive these cold temperatures but I mainly feel like our efforts are futile. I know they are out there on all the other nights. Something good does happen on shelter nights. The guests are tired but grateful and polite. The volunteers get a sense of altruistic warmth and connection. We all get to know each other a little. But the crime of reducing a part of the population to a place of no options is not acknowledged. There is a kind of acceptance in volunteerism for propping up the idea that certain people just don’t have what it takes to have a home. The crime originates in bad public policy and the erosion of human services. We know where all the money is but it is not available for housing or health care. The attitude that is encouraged in politics and the general public is that jobs and opportunity are everywhere but the homeless are too lazy to pursue them. Basic support of human life requires shelter from the elements, a way to stay warm or cool, a safe place to sleep, regular nourishment and clean water, companionship, acceptance and respect in society and the right to privacy and personal possessions. This should not be difficult. We do this

for animals in most communities. There are publicly-owned properties, buildings and state parks that remain unused for years. We have emergency plans in place to house and care for people in natural disasters but there is befuddlement about how to shelter the 2,000 or so homeless people we have in Humboldt County. Safe and secure camp sites with showers, toilets and “warming houses“ with communal kitchen facilities have functioned well in other communities. These sites could also include small inexpensive houses. It is really not about money. There is money in the state coffers for homelessness that is stuck in red tape. I recall that there was extra Measure Z money that needed to be used. Was shelter even on the agenda or in the budget? I see our disenfranchisement of the homeless as the most painful and central issue facing our county and our nation. It is not even in the national conversation among politicos. While government officials take measures to push people around or out of their communities, the inevitable public health and social issues expand. Hepatitis A has infected and killed people in Los Angeles and San Diego because of human waste contamination. There is speculation that cooking fires from homeless camps could have started the fires that raged in Southern California. Homelessness feeds the heroin and opioid epidemic because homeless camps are magnets for predatory drug dealers. While we leave people on the streets with no options, in a category that renders them unwanted wherever they are, the way we see ourselves changes. I worry that this callousness can be passed on to the next generation. If some Americans are vulnerable to losing everything, I think we are all at risk. We have many models to draw from and so many local resources in land and infrastructure. If there is strong leadership from county and state government, I think the response from the community will be powerful and compassionate. The official declaration of a shelter crisis will legally open up opportunities for the county and citizenry to work together on solutions. It may seem a daunting task but, once begun, I believe it will accelerate in the wonderful ways that human beings operate when they help each other out. Let’s not spend one more winter wondering what can be done. l Peg Anderson resides in Redway.

A Stranger’s Kindness

ight-year-old Eureka Cub Scout Noah Coulombe loves participating in his pack’s annual popcorn sales project. He enjoys both making the sales and carefully tracking of his progress toward his goals. He also enjoys supporting his pack in their fundraising efforts. One of his pack’s top salesmen in 2016, when he pulled in $1,175, Noah was well on his way to the top spot in 2017, so far ahead in his efforts that he increased his sales goal to $3,000 and busily spent his days and evenings marking sales and tracking receipts. Then the unexpected happened. In September, circumstances led a family “friend” of Megan Tyler, Noah’s mother, to spend about a week sleeping on the family couch. One evening Tyler and her family arrived home to find the friend gone, along with Noah’s popcorn sales money, which he’d kept in a clearly marked envelope. “I can’t imagine anyone being so callous that they would steal money from a child, much less money that he or she had worked so hard to collect for their troop or pack, but that’s precisely what happened,” Tyler explained. “I was devastated.” After a search for the friend came up empty, Tyler — a single mother who lives on a tight budget — started coming through her house looking for things she could sell to replace the stolen money. “We’re a Scouting family,” Tyler explained. “Everyone in our family is involved in Scouting in some way. Noah is a Cub Scout. His older sister is a Girl

Scout. I am a den leader. And my younger son will soon be old enough to join Tiger Cubs, which he is looking forward to. To have something happen like this theft was something all of us were having trouble dealing with, until that knock at the door.” That knock came from a neighbor, who’d reported that he’d just received a call from a stranger named Andy Moe, a firefighter in Washington state. It turns out Moe and his family had been staying in Redding when his truck was stolen, only to be recovered by police in the parking lot of a nearby casino. Among the items found inside was an envelope with the word “Cubs” written on the outside. It held a couple of personal checks but the cash was gone. Moe called the numbers on the checks in an effort to get more information about whoever had stolen his truck and connected with Tyler’s

neighbor. When Tyler called Moe back, she explained the situation. Some weeks later, when Tyler and Noah had essentially moved on, Tyler got a letter from Moe in the mail. Inside, she found Noah’s envelope, which now contained a money order made out to Noah’s pack with a note that said, “Hope this helps.” The money order was for $320 — $120 more than had been taken. “Just when you think that you can’t rely on strangers anymore, and there isn’t anybody good left in the world, something like this happens to totally restore your faith in people,” she said. “I’m still shaking my head when I think about all of this.” Moe, a firefighter with the Central Pierce Fire Department in Puyallup, Washington, was never a Scout but

when he learned the story behind the missing money, he knew that someone had to step up. “As far as replacing the funds was concerned, that was just a matter of doing the right thing,” Moe said. “Putting together a little cash to help somebody out is easy when you work with the kindest, most generous people imaginable. After I heard the story of what had happened, I just asked my friends at the station for their help, and they ponied right up to help out.” Thanks to one stranger’s kindness, Noah loves popcorn sales season once again and is looking forward to supporting his pack next year.

Week in Weed

Jobs, Jobs, Jobs

The shifting terrain of legal employment in the cannabis industry By Linda Stansberry linda@northcoastjournal.com

e’re a month and change into legalized recreational weed and it would be safe to say that things feel a tad … unstable. The county planning department is up to its ears in permit approvals, the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors are still tinkering with the permit and tax process, the cities of Arcata and Eureka, as well as the Humboldt Bay Municipal Water Board, have challenged a Planning Commission decision to allow a manufacturing facility next to the Mad River, and 29 people addressed the Board of Supervisor’s Feb. 12 meeting to express frustration with the impact of the excise tax system on small growers. One of the highly touted benefits of legalization was job growth. So where are we with that? Well, at first glance, it doesn’t look great. While the agendas for the Planning Commission are chock-a-block with permits for legal grows, it’s tough to measure how much of that is actually trickling down to the little guy. Word on the wind is that most people are scaling up to compensate for falling per-pound prices and not hiring additional staff to tend to their “girls,” with some fearing a resulting dilution in quality. A quick scan of on-the-books jobs doesn’t bode well. Most of the legal jobs in the cannabis industry (distribution, budtender, etc.) top out at around $15 an hour. That’s nothing to sneeze at but it’s not a living wage if you have a family to support. The only well-paid cannabis industry job we could find on Craigslist was working for the county processing permit applications. Still, according to Lucy Robson at Emerald Employment, it’s only February and things are bound to pick up in March. Robson, whose company offers payroll services and employee recruitment for permitted farmers, says the onerous permitting process has created a bit of a bottleneck in the creation of ancillary jobs associated with the cannabis industry. “We’re doing our best to be the leading

experts and navigate all of this,” she tells the Journal. “It’s a brave new world. Right now the challenges are just the holding patterns the farms are in, and other businesses in terms of the permitting process.” Those other businesses include distributors (the lack of which has contributed to plummeting prices for white market farmers, who are prohibited from distributing themselves, according to Robson), transportation and tourism. Once permits open up and are approved for those sectors, Robson believes she might be putting more people to work. Meanwhile, for existing scenes that require workers, the dynamic is very different than it used to be. The impacted housing market in many rural communities means workers must either live onsite or spend most of their paychecks commuting to the farm. And permitted farmers who want staff onsite must now provide heated facilities with locking doors and ADA-compliant bathrooms — no more tent camping. Robson says the declining wages for trim workers — $13 to $15 an hour of taxed income versus $20 an hour under the table — has had an inverse relationship in the ability to recruit qualified employees. Still, bringing things out into the open and being able to vet and drug test employees can be a game-changer for farmers who only want trusted people on their scenes. How this is going to shake out as the industry develops is anyone’s guess. Robson expresses optimism, although she calls the current landscape “daunting.” Until things settle, everyone — including Robson — will have to learn some new ways to be frugal. “I don’t buy shredded cheese anymore, I buy block cheese and shred it myself,” she jokes. l Linda Stansberry is a staff writer at the Journal.

A nonprofit’s push to save the Van Arken By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

asha McKee is standing on a jut of land, her gray-brown hair falling out from underneath a tri-color knit beanie. She’s speaking loudly so she can be heard over the babbling of Van Arken Creek, which stretches out in front of her about 15 feet down a steep slope, meandering under Pacific yew, Douglas fir, maple and a few scattered redwood trees. Behind her, the creek’s South Fork purls steadily, rushing over knotted redwood roots under a spray of ferns. McKee is talking about watershed and forest health but she’s also talking about her home. She moved to the woods near Whitethorn when her folks packed their station wagon to its roof, leaving just a bit of room for the sleeping kids, and drove north to make a new life for themselves away from

the city. One of her dad Bob McKee’s first jobs was working split redwood from Van Arken Creek, a main tributary to the Mattole River. “I’ve been tromping around these woods since I was a kid,” McKee says. “I would just find a ridge and hike it down to the ocean.” McKee, now the water program director for Sanctuary Forest, and April Newlander, the nonprofit’s executive director, are taking the Journal on a tour of a section of the 1,300-acre Van Arken watershed that Sanctuary Forest is hoping to purchase from Boyle Forest LP. The nonprofit’s ambitious plans would transform the property — a ruggedly steep swath of working timberlands —into a community forest, with watershed restoration efforts to bolster threatened salmonids, sustainable timber harvests and a host

of recreation opportunities. But to hear McKee tell it, Sanctuary Forest’s push to “save the Van Arken” is about much more — it’s about restoring a symbiotic relationship between people and the environment, environmentalism and economic growth, loggers and hippies.

Galen Doherty, Sanctuary Forest’s

lands program director and McKee’s son, pauses a moment to consider the question. It’s a couple of weeks before the site tour, and the Journal has essentially just asked, What’s so special about the Van Arken? He starts with what it’s not. The Van Arken isn’t a pristine old growth forest, like the one at the Mattole’s headwaters that Sanctuary Forest formed to save more than three decades ago. The cathedral-like redwood groves that once dotted its landscape have long since been felled. And subsequent decades have also left their Above: Sanctuary Forest Executive Director April Newlander (left) mark — with some areas clear cut only to be with Tasha McKee, the nonprofit's water program director. Amy Kumler replaced with plantation-like rows of conifers. Below: The 1,300 acre Van Arken watershed. Thomas Dunklin What the Van Arken is, Doherty says, is 1,300 acres of diversely forested land — filled with dogwoods, Pacific yews, maples, ash, oaks, alders, old growth Sanctuary Forest, which offers water storage tanks in exchange for Douglas fir, madrone and even chinquapin — that’s been left their pledges to pump water in the winter and practice forebearance in the summer. Meanwhile, the Mattole Restoration Council, undeveloped. another nonprofit in the area, has worked to remove old culverts “It’s a super high priority watershed for salmon recovery and the and decommission logging roads, reducing water runoff and sedionly tributary in the Mattole headwaters of its size that’s free of ment flows into the creeks. human development,” he says. “There’s been logging but there’s no Allan Renger, a supervising fisheries biologist with the California people out there and no impacts from upstream landowners.” Department of Fish and Wildlife, says the entire upper Mattole Sanctuary Forest and other nonprofits have already put in a lot watershed is “critically important” for steelhead, Chinook and of work to restore the upper Mattole watershed.

The South Fork of Van Arken Creek. Amy Kumler concern to biologists, Renger says, because they occupy a fraction of their historic range. Historically, Renger says, coho were distributed throughout much of the Mattole watershed. Today, he says they mostly stick to spawning and rearing in its upper reaches, the only areas that seem to have the high water quality the fish demand. “There are a number of factors but water temperature is kind of the leading one — it’s a heavy filter on where you can or can’t have coho,” Renger says, adding that coho are very much in danger of being pushed out of the Mattole. “They are of critical concern.” But the restoration efforts have born some fruit — with the watershed seeing “banner salmon returns” in each of the last two years, according to Doherty, who warns that allowing “more impacts and developments to occur, there’s a pretty high chance of reversing that.” And that’s part of what makes the Van Arken so enticing for Sanctuary Forest. With no development or timber production upstream, Doherty and others feel a large-scale restoration of the creek could prove a boon for salmon. On the Journal’s tour, Newlander stops

on a bridge crossing Van Arken Creek to point upstream to a relatively straight, uniform stretch of water about 150 yards long that, in the direct light of the sun overhead, looks more like a shallow aquifer than a creek. She points out the lack of pools, shaded areas or natural debris. Loggers, she says, have cleared the banks of the undergrowth and debris that would shade parts of the creek and create the natural impediments that would slow the water down and cause it to pool, dropping water temperatures and giving fish crucial places to shelter and rest. Downstream, McKee explains how the lack of felled logs, debris and natural impediments in the creek has caused much of the gravel and silt you’d find in a healthy creek to wash downstream, stripping the creek floor down to bedrock and reducing its potential to fill the forest floor with much needed groundwater. Active restoration projects — felling trees into the creek in some places and building beaver-dam-like structures in others — would go a long way to slowing the water, creating pools and allowing for the healthy buildup of sediment, dirt and

gravel on the creek floor, which would in turn raise the groundwater level and make for a healthier, more fire resistant forest, they say. Renger says he personally thinks Sanctuary Forest’s restoration plans for the Van Arken are significant and worthwhile, adding that his department has penned a letter supporting the project. But a large hurdle stands between Sanctuary Forest and its plans: money. And lots of it.

It was late 2016, and Sanctuary

Forest was trying to spread the word about the Van Arken project, the nonprofit’s hope to purchase 300 adjacent acres on McKee Creek and the property’s roughly $9 million price tag. Doherty and some others were sitting at a Mattole Creek Tributary meeting, giving the overview when Monica and Colum Coyne stopped them short. “(Colum) asks, ‘How much did you say the property was?’” Doherty recalls. “He’s like, ‘Well, it seems like it’s about $5,500 an acre. I’ll fund half an acre this year and half an acre next year.’ Another person was like, ‘I’ll fund an acre, too.’ We got home and

“We’re trying to change 50 years were like, ‘Sheesh. of perception of Let’s start a fundan-acre campaign cannabis farmers and start promoting that.’” as people who While the fundan-acre campaign were willing to do has, indeed, beall these terrible come the cornerstone of Sanctuary things to the Forest’s efforts, the full funding plan environment.” is more complex. Doherty says the nonprofit is really only looking to raise about a third of the projected property cost through private donations ($500,000) and pledges to fund an acre (almost $2.5 million). Sanctuary Forest will then look to leverage those funds — about $3 million — to secure a little over $1 million in funding from conservation foundations and the remaining $5 million in state and federal grants. Part of Sanctuary Forest’s pitch to fund-an-acre donors is that their $5,500 can essentially help leverage another $15,000 for the project. In Southern Humboldt, the campaign has caught hold. Doherty says $5,500 donations and pledges — Sanctuary Forest allows donors to pledge the $5,500 over five years, making annual payments of $1,100 or even monthly payments of $92 — have come from all corners. Redway Liquors has funded an acre, as have road associations, families and a reading group from Whale Gulch. The environmental conservation group has also begun to target what at first blush might seem like unlikely allies — cannabis farmers. More than a dozen cannabis farms have funded — or pledged to fund — an acre, Doherty says, adding that he’s begun a branding campaign around the idea, offering growers a “Save the Van Arken” logo to put on their products. The idea, Doherty says, is to give cannabis farmers an opportunity to broadcast their investment in the environment and the community. While there have clearly been — and remain — plenty of bad actors in the industry, Doherty says, there have also historically been cultivators who grew their crops the right way and donated quietly to local causes, never able to be publicly recognized for it. That’s changed, he says, and the Van Arken logo is a way for cultivators to get some recognition for their good deeds. John Casali, who owns Huckleberry Hill

Farms just up the road from Sanctuary Forest’s Whitethorn office, was the first to jump on board. “We’re trying to change 50 years of perception of cannabis farmers as people who were willing to do all these terrible things to the environment,” Casali says, adding that he’s trying to carve out a niche for himself as the antithesis of that negative stereotype. Walking his property — which was farmed by his parents before him — Casali points to two large water catchment ponds that use solar-powered pumps to fill to

nine large storage tanks on the hill above his greenhouse. Those tanks in turn then use gravity to water his plants. He says he’s working on getting a “fish friendly” certification from the Department of Fish and Wildlife and converting his farm entirely Continued on next page »

to solar power. The Van Arken logo on his product, Casali says, is a nice way to differentiate it. But ultimately, he says funding an acre was about something more basic. “There’s certain groups in the community, like the technical rescue team and all the volunteer fire departments, who have been protecting this community and doing so much for all of us,” he says. “Sanctuary Forest is one of them, protecting resources for the good of all of us.” “I feel obligated to help them,” Casali continues, pointing to the Van Arken sticker on a bag of his buds. “That stands for community, for the greater good. And people care that you care about other people.” While Sanctuary Forest’s fundraising efforts seem to be bearing some fruit and the nonprofit has charted a five-year plan through 2021 to come up with the funds, there is some urgency, as the ball isn’t exactly in the nonprofit’s court. The property owner, Boyle Forests LP, has indicated it wants to liquidate its land holdings and has already sold off some other nearby parcels. “That’s been the way the project has been all along,” Doherty says. “They want to liquidate all their holdings in the Mattole. If someone else comes along and says, ‘Hey, I want to buy it all,’ we wouldn’t have a project anymore.” Boyle Forests also holds an active timber harvest plan that’s been approved for a stretch of the property. With timber prices at a five-year high, driven by a strong economy, that adds to the sense of urgency. “That’s kind of an ominous cloud hanging over,” Doherty says. “We need the trees standing to have a community forest.”

Tasha McKee is talking as she walks up an old logging road, pointing out aspects of the forest in need of managing. Those groves of conifers to the south need thinning, she says, adding that much of the

The family has sponsored multiple acres and walks the watershed almost daily. Amy Kumler Fork of Van Arken Creek. “This is where it’s born,” McKee says. “Well, it’s actually born a little ways up, but it’s still a child here.” With redwoods reaching to the sky above her, surrounded by lush woodwardia ferns and the sound of water trickling over a series of fallen trees, McKee launches into a story. This grove, she says, is where she brought the first group of Van Arken donors for a picnic. The group spread out, plopped down and was happily munching

away when a groundwater spring burbled up to the surface. “It was like, ‘Oh, the forest is talking to us. It wants us to save it,’” she says with a laugh. A bit later, back on the logging road and heading back to the car, McKee takes a more serious tone. She talks about her childhood and adolescence, when she saw protesters and loggers square off and a community grow rife with animosity and

resentment, everyone feeling someone was trying to take away what was rightfully theirs. She says she sees the Van Arken as a new model. She sees it as place for people to come ride mountain bikes and hike; a watershed that will help restore salmon populations, which will help sustain fishermen and their families downriver in Shelter Cove. And she sees it as a place where timber will be sustainably harvested to be trucked to small but bustling mills nearby

to be turned into specialty beams, fancy trim or artisan tables. “I always wanted to see a day when we could turn it around,” she says, “when people could work driving a logging truck and everyone could be proud of them.” l Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor.

Book Club Emergency Meeting

To address whether Todd is maybe a racist By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

verybody comfortable? Anyone need a cushion or a refill? OK. I’ve called this book club meeting tonight to discuss some tension that’s arisen since we embarked on this new inclusive reading list. I’ll just say it: Some of you have questioned whether Todd is a racist and, if so, whether we should continue meeting at his place anyway to enjoy baked brie, sumptuous charcuterie boards and whatever mid-range wine Shelly brings. First, shout out to Chris for suggesting last year that we “get out of our bubble” by reading books by authors from underrepresented communities and other countries. Nice one. But it has brought up some stuff. Now Todd isn’t here tonight, since that would have been pretty uncomfortable. Instead, I think we should sort this out before we do something rash, like move our gatherings to my place and this awkward L-shaped living room, or Kelly’s with all the pet hair. Initially, Todd may have been politically incorrect with his knee-jerk “all books matter” argument for Tom Clancy and the way he balked at the proposed reading list, particularly some of the Mexican and Mexican-American authors because, in his words, “They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good writers.” It sounds divisive

out of context. Still, we can’t jump to conclusions about what’s in his heart. And while he did say Dylan and Jeanie couldn’t render an impartial judgement because they’re Mexican, I think we can all agree that was an honest mistake — I know you guys just have a timeshare in Cancun but, to be fair, you did come back pretty tanned. Let’s not dwell. The seven-layer dip and top-shelf Margaritas Todd put out at our next meeting were clearly meant as an olive branch. Not even from a mix, by the way Shutterstock — real Margarita glasses. Beats the hell out of sipping from Mason jars at Chris’ place. Sorry, man, but we’re not in college anymore. While I suspect that Todd hadn’t actually read August’s Holocaust memoir, given that most of his references seemed drawn from The Sound of Music, I will admit his focus on the non-Jewish people who died seemed … off. And some of you were taken aback by his devil’s advocate take on

modern-day neo-Nazis, noting that many are “fine people” and that there’s blame on “many sides.” We can argue about his exact wording but he really meant that we ought to consider the humanity of all people rather than dismissing some as monsters, which was his point about the young SS officer’s charming duet in the gazebo with Liesl. OK, yes, also from the musical. Still, I hope we’re not the sort of people who’d close ourselves off to differing opinions — that’s hardly going to get us out of our bubbles — tailoring our Facebook feeds, reaffirming our own opinions, locked away in little rooms like this one, with walls so thin we’re basically watching Law & Order with my neighbor. Jesus. Sorry. Turn it down, man! And OK, Kelly, you’ve mentioned how uncomfortable you were with Todd repeatedly asking, “Where are you really from?” And maybe it was an awkward four minutes of silence after he asked, “Why isn’t the pretty Korean lady bringing barbecue?” when, in fact, Kelly is, what, Greek? I only know it was four minutes because Todd was making me an excellent pour-over, single-origin coffee. It wasn’t that long — it just seems longer because of the anticipation but it’s worth it. Help yourselves to my burned Mr. Coffee pot, by the way. I, for one, applaud Todd’s cultural curiosity. And he called you pretty, right? If by some chance an actual Korean person had been invited or whatever, we’d probably all be laughing about it. Our last meeting feels like it was a bit

of a breaking point for some of you and I want to make space for those feelings. When conversation turned from Ta’Nehisi Coates’ book to his work in the Black Panther comic books and Todd referred to Wakanda as a “shithole country” and the possible real birthplace of former president Barack Obama, those comments were … racially charged. But that’s Todd! He says what’s on his mind, not always eloquently. Frankly, I’ve heard worse language from Jeannie about Shelly’s off-brand pinot. We owe him the benefit of the doubt. Couldn’t his lamenting the dearth of comics about Thor and other superheroes from Norway — which happens to be mostly white — be about his loving capes and Nordic culture? His place is textbook hygge with the fireplace and cashmere throws. You’ve all had his homemade gravlax. It’s like butter. Mind you, even if Todd was a racist, which I’m not saying he is, wouldn’t it be our duty to pull him in rather than cast him out? To engage and understand? We’re not doing either if we abandon him to huddle on my pale carpeting that picks up wine stains like crazy. Not calling you out specifically, Kyle, so settle down. Though honestly your offer to host rings a little hollow since we all know the parking over there is bullshit. Listen. Todd has told me face to face, on the comfy sectional sofa that allows us all to sit like adults instead of sprawling on the floor like we’re at an evacuation center, that he is “the least racist person you will ever meet.” And I didn’t want to say this but the way you guys are making all this about race sounds, well, a little racist. Maybe you should think about that. l Jennifer Fumiko Cahill is the arts and features editor at the Journal. Reach her at 442-1400, extension 320, or Jennifer@northcoastjournal.com.

Table Talk

Sweet and Savory New Year Dumplings With homemade wrappers, wild onions and red beans By Wendy Chan

tabletalk@northcoastjournal.com

ong hei fat choi, or congratulations and be prosperous, is one way to wish everyone a happy Chinese New Year. Food is another. When it comes to Chinese New Year feasts, there are so many dishes to prepare, like fresh fish, chicken, goose, roast pork belly, noodles and so on. Dumplings are a must for New Year’s Eve. They symbolize wealth and togetherness, and come in savory and sweet varieties. On New Year’s Eve, my family would get together and make them by hand. They can be made in whimsical shapes and you can color them with different vegetable juices. To celebrate, I’m sharing my recipe for savory pork dumplings made with our plentiful local wild spring onions. For dessert, try your hand at the rice dumplings stuffed with sweet red bean in ginger syrup. Happy Year of the Dog!

Wild Onion Pork Dumplings For multicolored wrappers, substitute vegetable juice for the water. You can make your own juice by blending a handful of vegetables (such as wild onion leaves, spinach, purple cabbage and carrots) with water to make a thin liquid. Makes 20-24 dumplings. For the wrappers: 2 cups flour, plus more for dusting 1 cup warm water In a large bowl, mix the flour and water by hand until it forms a smooth dough.

Cover it with a clean towel and set it aside to rest for 20 minutes. Make the filling while the dough is resting. Knead the dough again for few minutes and set aside to rest for another 20 minutes. Divide the dough and roll it into two logs. Cut each log into 12 small pieces and dust them with flour. On a lightly floured surface, use a small rolling pin to roll each piece as you would a tiny pie to form a 4-inch, round wrapper. Try to make them thinner toward the edges. Dust with flour to keep the wrappers from sticking together and lay them on a plate with plastic wrap to separate each layer. Cover them with a clean towel or plastic wrap and set aside. For the filling: 1 pound ground pork (not lean) 2 cups chopped wild spring onions 2 tablespoons minced ginger 2 tablespoons soy sauce 2 tablespoons oyster sauce 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon sesame oil 1 teaspoon white pepper 1 egg Mixed all the ingredients together evenly and set aside for at least 20 minutes. Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold the wrapper and pinch the edges together to close. To boil, heat 8 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt in a large pot until boiling. Gently drop in 8-10 dumplings

and let them cook until they float to the surface. Carefully remove with a slotted spoon and serve hot. You can also pan fry the boiled dumplings with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until their bottoms are golden brown and crispy. To steam, place the dumplings on parchment paper in a bamboo steamer over boiling water. Steam for 15 minutes and remove from heat. Serve with spicy chili sauce or soy sauce and rice vinegar.

Sweet Rice Balls with Red Beans

Sweet red bean paste and sweet rice flour are available in Asian markets. To add color to the rice balls, add 2 tablespoons matcha powder or 3 tablespoons of purple yam powder to the flour. You can also replace ½ cup of the hot water with vegetable juice for color. Serves 4-6. For the dumplings: 2 cups sweet rice flour, plus more for dusting 1 cup hot water 1 cup red bean paste

Form a well in each rice ball by pressing your thumb into the center of the dough. Place a ball of bean filling in the well and pinch the dough around it to enclose the ball. Once all the rice balls are filled, make the ginger syrup. For the syrup: 3 inches of fresh ginger, peeled and cut into 5 pieces 4 cups water 1 cup brown sugar

Roll the bean paste into 20 little balls and refrigerate them in a covered bowl. Add the hot water to the flour, kneading until it becomes a soft dough. Roll the dough into a log, then cut it into 20 small pieces — about 1 tablespoon each. Use your palms to roll them into balls.

In a large pot, heat the ginger, water and sugar until boiling. Gently add a handful of rice balls in and cook over medium-high heat until the balls float. Do not crowd them or they will stick together. Serve a few balls in each bowl with the ginger syrup. ●

A Little Sentimental By Collin Yeo

thesetlist@northcoastjournal.com

his was a week of contrasts for me, many of them bittersweet. While I appreciated the sunshine on my face all week, I don’t relish wearing T-shirts in February. We need our winter rain and snow, and sunny days in midwinter do not auger well for the new year. I don’t want to have another cycle of drought and wildfires out here in the Far West. On a whim, I tried consuming some older cultural artifacts from my youth that I remember loving way back when, and was depressed to find they did not age well and I had moved on in my tastes. To wit: While I am a huge fantasy nerd and roundly enjoyed rereading Tolkien’s The Silmarillion last month, I found sadly that the Narnia saga by C.S. Lewis did not captivate me upon revisiting. Similarly, a couple of evenings ago I took a chance on re-watching The X-Files, my favorite show as a sci-fi and horror obsessed teenager, and was pretty let down there, too, shocked by how bad David Duchovny’s acting was. “Dammit, Scully, there are two ends to my range, talking monotone and yelling monotone! Don’t expect me to crack my saturnine composure just because you are being attacked by a humanoid liver fluke.” At least his acting is better than his songwriting. Do yourself a favor and leave that Google search blank. I am not a nostalgic person by nature, I tend to genuinely distrust the sappier backward-gazing emotions that so much of our culture is built on. But I won’t pretend I wasn’t a little disappointed to find the magic gone for me in those gems. On Sunday I covered a memorial jam for a gone-too-soon local musician and classmate from high school, cellist Mike Lee (you can read it at www.northcoastjournal.com for the whole story). I might not be a nostalgic person but I am also not a rock, and I was genuinely moved by our cadre of talented local funk musicians’ joyful response in the face of the cruel spectre of mortality. The best me-

morials are celebrations of what makes living so powerful and important — a contrast of lights in the shadows of our saddest days. And that day began with an afternoon of rain but by the time I was walking home at the end, I was treated to the sun and a real sunset. And that felt just right. Have a lovely week.

Thursday

The Jam presents a YAMS (Your Arts & Music Syndicate) curated pint night with a debut album release party for new dance rock band The Apollo Era at 9:30 p.m. with support provided by local power trio Blacksage Runners and the trippy pop spin of Paradise Inc. ($5).

Friday

Humbrews is having a night of funk and hip hop as Jurassic 5 and Ozomatli founder Chali 2na returns to Arcata at 9:30 p.m. to spit rhymes in his distinctive baritone. Local funk heavies Object Heavy provide support. $20/ $18 advance. At the same hour over on G Street, there’s a trifecta of dance music DJs descending from on high — or the greater Los Angeles area — to preach the posterior moving gospel ($23/$20 advance). G. Jones has a back-to-back set with Eprom while Ana Sia opens the night’s festivities.

Saturday

Kaptain Kirk’s Kosmic Koncoction is a one-man band noted for playing fun

covers of a wide variety of pop and rock songs. He opens the evening of free music at The Logger Bar tonight at 9 p.m. before relinquishing the stage to the live debut performance of The Stallions, a local cover band in the key of Ween. Can’t see Dean and Gene and company? This’ll be the next best thing. It’s not a debut show but it is the first show of the year for local funk and soul outfits The Velvet Touch and The New Traditions, formerly The Dubba Dubs ($5). Come down to the Jam at 9:30 p.m. to see the 2018 editions of these two local hot rods.

Sunday

It’s a wine and jazz matinee at Morris Graves Museum today at 3 p.m. A mere $5 gets you in the door to hear Jerry Moore on piano supporting Doug Arrington’s vocal stylings during which time you can sip local wines and schmooze in the circular galleries of our own little art house. After the sets, there is an open jam for those of you with the foresight to have brought instruments you know how to play.

Monday

Jazz bassist and composer Ben Allison returns for an 8 p.m. show at the Sanctuary after a long decade away from Arcata ($15). He brings with him his backing band Think Free in support of his latest album of self-composed tunes Layers of the City. The church-y ambience of The Sanctuary should provide a nice vibe for his cutting edge contemporary instrumental jazz sounds.

Tuesday

Local group Dogbone styles itself as a group of musicians playing what they call “feral jazz.” What does that actually mean? I honestly have no idea but if you are curious to find out, head down to the Mad River Brewery in sunny Blue Lake at 6 p.m. to find out for yourself for free.

Wednesday

No Age, a Los Angeles punk outfit on Drag City Records, plays the Outer Space tonight at 7 p.m. ($10). “Dream punk” tour buddies Flesh World from San Francisco, featuring members from Brilliant Colors and Limp Wrist, sit mid-lineup, while Arcata’s own punk darling Grocery Outlit provide a little local flavor. This should be a nice jump up and down diversion. Cuco is the stage name of 18-yearold Omar Banos, a mixtape-making musical wunderkind whose 2016 album “Wannabewithu” put him on the map as a uniquely talented multi-instrumentalist. He plays the Kate Buchanan room tonight at 9 p.m. as a special treat for the kiddies and also undoubtedly as an artifact of precociousness designed to make the rest of us feel so very old and useless ($10). ● Full show listings in the Journal’s Music and More grid, the Calendar and online.

Primal Rage

Whodunnit Dinner

Crawl of the Wild

North Coast private dicks and dolls, don your detective hats and help solve a mystery when the Clarke Museum hosts a dinner theater fundraiser, Murder in the Museum, this Saturday, Feb. 17 at 5 p.m. at Bayside Community Hall ($55, $50 museum members). Valentine’s Day just wrapped but for those for whom it wasn’t disastrous enough, there’s always the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, when Al Capone’s hoods gunned down “Bugs” Moran and members of his Southside Gang. At this evening of eats and shrieks, the 1920s roar to life and those fateful events are still fresh. Then another poor chump gets snuffed out. All of it plays out while you drink and dine with gangsters and molls milling about. Keep a keen eye on the events that unfold and help solve the crime after dessert. Tickets include dinner, a drink ticket and a commemorative photo, so snazz it up in your best fedora or flapper dress. The caper comes courtesy of Murder By Dessert and the proceeds benefit the Clarke Museum. Music, singing, dancing … and murder. Hard to say no to this Valentine request. — Kali Cozyris

It’s not your regular, run-of-the-mill rage. Your “I can’t get this ever-loving packing envelope open” rage. No, this rage is primal. And it’s coming straight for us. The Primal Rage North Coast Premiere slashes its way to the Eureka Theater this Friday, Feb. 16 at 8 p.m. ($10). Described as “a Hollywood-produced Bigfoot horror movie filmed almost entirely in the redwood region during 2015 and 2016,” Primal Rage is another fine example of a film starring our spectacular North Coast and its primeval feel. The winding rural highways are familiar. The towering trees, same. It’s like any drive home for any one of us — except for the rage. The lurking, hulking rage and the ferocious roar of something very big, very scary and very, very hairy. In the fern-laden forest, something is stalking a young couple who find themselves waaay off the beaten path (horror film trope alert: sex in cars precedes bad, bad things). Edward Olson, the production coordinator and co-producer of the film, is a local guy, graduating from Eureka High School in 1987. (Hey, Eddie!) Olson will be on hand for the premiere to introduce the film. Primal Rage is rated R for some intense violence … and the rage. Doors at 7 p.m. —Kali Cozyris

Fifty Shades Freed is for Masochists But Peter Rabbit has bounce By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews FIFTY SHADES FREED. It’s been a very long seven years since E.L. James morphed fan-fiction erotica into a three-book, three-movie deal. Since then, the edginess has dulled and the Steele dossier has stolen the thunder of any scandalous stories of kink from the love life of Anastasia Steele. It’s not only real life that makes the Fifty Shades of Grey oeuvre, its moody hero and the spotlight it has given one variety of female desire seem passé; even PG13 Hollywood blockbusters have discovered male sexual spectacle. In 2017, director Taika Waititi let the camera linger on Chris Hemsworth’s bare-to-the-hip-bones Thor and Wonder Woman’s Patty Jenkins gave naked Chris Pine more than a once-over with the female gaze. The question now is: How do you make the straight ladies swoon after they’ve seen a love scene with an amphibian dude? Maybe you can’t. Maybe all you can do is play to your base like a better dressed, softly lit Trump rally, and finish what you started. Director James Foley and the returning cast go through the motions of Freed’s inane plot like partners who know the thrill is gone. But they do come through on the promise of sex scenes. There is yacht sex, luxury car sex, almost shower sex, fancy dungeon sex, sex with handcuffs, sex with toys and sex with food. An hour into the movie, the lady even gets about 12 seconds of oral. If any of that sounds enticing, I suggest you watch it in the privacy of your home, where you can fast forward through any parts that might make you embarrassed, uncomfortable, offended or triggered — by which I mean every moment of acting and dialogue in between. The movie opens on the wedding of Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) and his bride Anastasia (Dakota Johnson). After the ceremony, they head off on a Travel Channel montage of romantic locations. But their honeymoon is cut short by news that their personal files have been plundered by the ham-fistedly named Jack Hyde (Eric Johnson), Ana’s former boss, who previously tried to blackmail and assault her, and to kill Christian by sabotaging his helicopter. (I can’t believe I’m writing these words.) They return to Seattle, where, against the backdrop of their minimalist luxury apartment, they settle into

domestic life with the ease of newlyweds who have yet to discuss children or fully disclose their assets. Ana, who is creepily infantilized, bristles at the round-the-clock security and her husband’s need to control her, including at her job at the company he owns. When Hyde attempts to kidnap Ana from the apartment at knifepoint, he’s subdued by a pair of bodyguards and a thin thriller subplot takes over the weak romantic drama. It’s hard to give a damn about anything that happens in this movie, partly because nobody on screen seems to, not with any real feeling. The Greys treat a dangerous car chase like a game, followed by a brief moment of overwhelm that’s squelched by a quickie. For most of the film, Johnson doesn’t register much beyond parted lips or a breathy “Oh my god.” Dornan, who was terrifying in The Fall, here only poses with a glass of scotch and reads his lines with the conviction of a man with an ironclad contractual obligation. Aside from the sex scenes, which, hey, are convincing (shoutout to Dornan’s personal trainer and the makeup people who rendered Johnson’s skin as poreless as carved soap) the actors have zero chemistry and one wonders if the rest of the movie might have been as compellingly filmed with paper dolls. Not that there’s much for an actor to dig into. Ana’s scenes at work as a fiction editor have all the detail of a tween daydreaming through career day: sipping tea, perching on a couch with a grateful writer and telling a designer to go up two points on the cover font. Even their Big Fight flirts with parody as she stomps in her underwear, defiantly pulling on her stockings and boots. (Who the hell puts on her boots before her dress?) He’s jealous and controlling but it’s only because he can’t lose her, guys. (Friends, if this sounds familiar, dump him/her right goddamn now.) In fact, all their problems come down to Christian loving Ana so much he’s scared, or enemies that desire and/or envy them. Jesus, it’s boring. Right down to the series highlight reel that takes us to the credits. At the showing I attended, a couple made the bold move of bringing a baby, who made it through most of the humorless affair with only a few gurgles and wails, finally falling apart in the denouement. I’ve never identified so strongly

John Kelly is the adult in the room. I’m sure it’ll be fine. Peter Rabbit

with a baby or been more grateful for comic relief. R. 101M. BROADWAY, FORTUNA, MILL CREEK. PETER RABBIT. Cast not your root vegetables at me, Beatrix Potter fans — this live-action/animated comedy was surprisingly entertaining, genuinely sweet and a pleasure to look at. Potter’s body of work, written and illustrated, is so iconic that I refuse to believe a playful movie can harm it. If Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night can survive She’s the Man (2006), The Tale of Peter Rabbit will be fine. And director Will Gluck’s Peter Rabbit is that rare thing: a kids’ movie that you and the little ones can watch and enjoy without worrying it’s turning them into assholes. After the death of his parents — father in a pie and mother lost to age — Peter (the bouncy James Corden) runs garden heists at McGregor’s farm with his siblings. Neighbor Beatrix (Rose Byrne), a flailing abstract painter who does familiar water colors of the animals, protects them like a surrogate mother. When the old man croaks, the animals throw a vegetable bacchanal on the empty property. That is until an estranged control-freak nephew (Domhnall Gleeson) from London inherits the place. The battle between rabbit and man escalates when the younger McGregor begins courting Beatrix. The animated rabbits are fast and physical, thumping along the grass, and Gleeson’s elastic body and face are made for physical comedy. And there are just enough Potter character cameos to make one sentimental for her quietly funny, dark stories with their biting social commentary (I direct you to the animal sacrifice, bad manners and resulting dismemberment in The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin for a refresher). What’s an unexpected treat, aside from the movie’s cleverness, is that a kids’ comedy that could easily have turned into Home Alone with animals makes a turn toward forgiveness and selfless love. PG. 93M. BROADWAY, FORTUNA, MILL CREEK.

Chadwick Boseman plays the Marvel superhero/king of the secretive African tech paradise Wakanda, the throne and safety of which are threatened by a rival (Michael B. Jordan).

PG13. FORTUNA. THE WIZARD OF OZ (1939). Serious question: Would you even click your heels to come back from Oz at this point? PG. 102M. BROADWAY.

Continuing 15:17 TO PARIS. Clint Eastwood hikes his trousers up to direct the true tale of American servicemen who foiled a terrorist attack on a train in 2015. Instead of actors, Alek Skarlatos, Anthony Sadler and Spencer Stone star as themselves. With Jenna Fisher and Thomas Lennon. PG13. 94M. BROADWAY, FORTUNA, MILL CREEK.

CALL ME BY YOUR NAME. This meticulously crafted adaptation about a romance between the roguish Oliver (Armie Hammer) and precocious, 17-year-old Elio (Timothée Chalamet) is charged with excitement, secrecy and the shame of new discovery. Novelistic dialogue occasionally distracts but mostly this tale of first love is painfully real. R.

the cusp of war with Germany. Good news: If you saw Dunkirk, you get a pass on this one. With Kristin Scott Thomas. PG13. 125M. MINOR. THE GREATEST SHOWMAN. Hugh Jackman sings and dances as 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. HOSTILES. Despite strong performances, Scott Cooper’s Western about a fearsome army captain (Christian Bale) transporting a dying Cheyenne chief (Wes Studi) and a traumatized woman (Rosamund Pike) lacks the moral ambiguity and bite its copious violence might otherwise convey. R. 134M. BROADWAY, MILL CREEK.

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, MILL CREEK.

MAZE RUNNER: THE DEATH CURE. The last of the video game-inspired action series 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. Starring Dylan O’Brien and Rosa Salazar. PG13. 142M. BROADWAY.

THE PHANTOM THREAD. Paul Thomas Anderson directs Daniel Day-Lewis and Vicky Krieps in a romance about a couturier who falls in love with his muse. Immersive settings, costumes and a nuanced story reward the viewer’s patience. R. 130M. MINOR. THE SHAPE OF WATER. Guillermo del Toro’s exquisitely designed and executed love story/fable/tribute to monster movies of yesteryear showcases careerbest 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, MINOR. 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. WINCHESTER: THE HOUSE THAT GHOSTS BUILT. Guns don’t kill; ghosts do. Tour 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. BROADWAY.

Legal Notices NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF JAMES WESLEY GLEATON aka WES GLEATON aka JAMES W. (etc) CASE NO. PR180019 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of JAMES WESLEY GLEATON aka WES GLEATON aka JAMES W. (etc) A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Petitioner HOLLY JAYE GLEATON In the Superior Court of California, County of Humboldt. The petition for probate requests that HOLLY JAYE GLEATON be appointed as personal representative to admin− ister the estate of the decedent. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.

In compliance with State law, the Housing Element contains the City’s goals, policies, and strategic plan for addressing the most critical housing needs in the community, and provides the City with a comprehensive strategy for promoting safe, decent, and affordable housing for all income categories within the city. The draft Housing Element has been reviewed by the California Department of Housing and Community Development, and has been found to meet State Housing Element laws. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the updated Housing Element will not result in any new significant environmental effects that were not identified and mitigated in the 2010-2030 General Plan Program EIR, and a Notice of Determination will be prepared. The public is invited to come to the Public Hearing to ask questions or comment on the proposed Housing Element. Information is available for review at the Community Development Department at City Hall, 621 11th Street, on weekdays between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., and on the City’s website at friendlyfortuna.com.

Story and photos by Anthony Westkamper humbug@northcoastjournal.com

Spiders in a car What do you do when you’re driving and a spider runs across the inside of your windshield? Like any good entomological photographer, I pulled over at a safe place and took its picture, of course. Done with the photo shoot, I herded it onto an envelope and ushered it outside. Really, spiders are nothing to get worked up about. First of all, there are only a very few that can cause you more than a transient itchy spot. Second, they don’t want to. Venom is an expensive commodity, biologically speaking. They don’t really want to waste it on something that’s too big, not only to eat, but to comprehend. On its best day the spider with the best eyesight can’t focus much more than a few inches in front of itself. Given the opportunity, they will flee rather than get hand-to-hand-combat close. That close-up photo allowed me to discern leg length and eye spacing, which are diagnostic for identification. It is a running crab spider, genus Philodromus. Today I saw dozens of small wolf spiders (family Lycosidae) fleeing in front of me as I made my way across an open space. A quick back-of-the-envelope calculation estimates Humboldt county’s lycosa population around 28 billion. That’s probably enough to carry me off but not once have I been attacked. This family is notable in the maternal care the mothers provide, carrying their eggs around in a silk purse and allowing their babies to hitch a ride on their backs once hatched. Another species of wolf spider that lives on our local river bars is the beach wolf spider (Arctosa littoralis). They can get pretty large for a local spider with a leg span up to the size of a half dollar, and

are numerous in their preferred sandy, rocky habitat. This mother hides the nest for her babies under rocks. I’m like most people in that spiders give me the willies, but despite the instinctive “creep factor,” once I got to learning about them I find many are really pretty cool.

Under the mud Here we are, middle of winter and once again I’m finding variegated meadowhawk dragonflies along the Van Duzen River, where I regularly walk. Although this is a small dragonfly, it is the largest insect I see flying this time of year. I find them perched on rocks in open sections of river bar, often 20 or 30 feet from the water. These guys are a very common migratory species. I report my sightings to the Migratory Dragonfly Partnership in a citizen science effort to better understand the movements of certain kinds of dragonflies. Today I saw several small bees or wasps flying within an inch of the ground in zig-zag patterns, occasionally chasing each other in apparent territorial disputes. One was persistently digging into a cleat mark from an ATV tire. The impressively jawed tiger beetles, Steniolia and Bembix wasps (both dedicated flyhunters), and pygmy grasshoppers all lay their eggs in the sand to overwinter and emerge in the spring. I used to think doing doughnuts and making rooster tails was harmless fun because, I thought, “you can’t hurt sand.” Well, there is really a lot going on underground that can be destroyed by motorized mayhem. So please, stay on the roads and give the denizens of the dunes a break. ●
