A Culture of Civility

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill and Thadeus Greenson jennifer@northcoastjournal.com thad@northcoastjournal.com

D

o you have an inalienable right to anonymously spew hate speech in our comments section or anyone else’s?

That’s a question that’s been thrown around a lot lately, mostly by anonymous online commenters, in response to a pair of NAACP letters to local news outlets asking them to consider the impact of the comments sections and how they’re managed. In the letters, NAACP acting President Donn Peterson explained that he and others have been disturbed by an uptick in racist, hateful comments in the wake of 19-year-old David Josiah Lawson’s death.

If there was a veil hiding Humboldt County’s racial tensions from view, the fatal stabbing of the Humboldt State University sophomore ripped it off. In the two months that have followed Lawson’s death, we’ve heard some minority members of our community say they don’t feel safe in our county, which is 82 percent white. They’ve spoken of suffering racism both covert and overt, acts systemic and singular, and bias explicit and implicit.

While this has resulted in some very real and productive conversation in print,

in forums and in council chambers, over coffee and even in some comments sections, it has also led to the pervasive spewing of hate speech by anonymous cowards and trolls.

What, the NAACP urged us to ask, is our role — both as a media company and individual community members — in all this? After spending some time reflecting on the issues, this seems an appropriate time to share with you, our readers, some insight into how we operate and why, and what we’re trying to do better.

So, back to that initial question: If we delete your racist comment from our website are we infringing on your rights under the First Amendment of the Constitution? Absolutely not. Neither we nor any other media outlet has that power.

We can’t keep you from expressing your opinion, thinking or saying hateful things, or even from starting your own blog to post whatever rantings you want. But we do have an absolute right to manage our newspaper and our website, and we’ve committed to doing it in a way that aligns with our values. So if you want to share your opinion with our readers, online or in print, you need to conform to our rules,

Cheers to your Besties

which are designed around maintaining a culture of respect and civility.

In order to leave comments on our site, readers need to register — a quick process that involves setting up an account with a name and email address. We think there’s value in allowing anonymous comments — think of the whistleblowers commenting from within government institutions, the vulnerable giving voice to an unpopular opinion, the domestic violence victim wanting to share his or her story. We also think there’s value in accountability — hence the requirement to set up an account. And we do moderate our online comments, regularly scrolling through them to watch out for hate speech, personal attacks or criminal accusations.

When something crosses those lines, we delete it. When someone habitually crosses them, we block him or her from commenting on the site.

If registration has kept you from contributing your viewpoint to a civil, constructive conversation, that’s unfortunate.

It’s an imperfect solution and no doubt it costs us in valuable reader engagement, not to mention clicks. But we believe it’s worth the sacrifice for a number of reasons.

First and foremost, we want to make sure our newspaper and website are inclusive places, where readers can come without fear of being demeaned and verbally assaulted. That’s not to say readers won’t find viewpoints with which they disagree or even find abhorrent — a democracy can’t function if those are actively stifled.

But it does mean those viewpoints will be shared with respect and civility.

Again we land on those words — respect and civility — so it seems appropriate to note that we view them as integral parts of the larger culture we hope the Journal reflects and promotes. We hope these ideals show in our reporting and the editorial decisions we make on a daily basis. For example, we try to be conscientious and make sure we’re not doing anything to dehumanize those we write about — whether they’re arrested, addicted, homeless or anything else. It’s a slippery slope, after all, and a snarky swipe at the addict arrested for the fourth time in a week can quickly give the impression that people who don’t act like us or look like us aren’t worthy of basic human respect and compassion.

In a study of comments blocked from its site over 15 years, The Guardian found that women, people of color, LGBTQ people and religious minorities bore the brunt of abuse that ranged from garden variety trolling and insults to violent threats, including rape and murder. Disappointingly

but perhaps not surprisingly, The Guardian also found that its reporters who fell into one of the aforementioned minority groups were much more likely to suffer anonymous abuse online, a kind of emotional tax on writers doing the same work as their colleagues but shouldering an additional burden. This can have the effect of discouraging the targets of that abuse from writing about controversial topics or entering journalism at all. Over time, it can wear down even the most resilient people.

That’s unfair and we want no part of it.

Last week, KHSU’s Lorna Bryant hosted a far-reaching discussion on hate speech versus free speech with a number of participants, including Lost Coast Outpost editor Hank Sims, who said there’s a lot of value in having a comment section essentially serve as an open forum, allowing bigotry to be put on display and preserved as a snapshot of a community at a point in time. We disagree.

We feel that maintaining such a section stifles the voices of those who are reluctant to risk being dogpiled for sharing their perspectives. And how can we say the comment section at the end of an article is an open forum when women, people of color and LGBTQ folks have to wade through vitriol and threats to participate? Instead, we feel this risks holding up a funhouse mirror in which their views are shrunken or absent and those of angry bigots are magnified, leaving us with a warped reflection of our community.

The Journal is working, slowly but surely, to include more voices from across the spectrum of our county. In order to do that, we need to provide a safe, civil and respectful forum for those voices to be heard. It would be disingenuous to invite members of the community to contribute only to hang them out like virtual piñatas for anonymous trolls.

So, Humboldt, if you have some thoughts — on this or anything else — we’d love to hear them. And if you have a story to tell, we’d love to give you space to tell it. But we’re going to have to insist that you do it respectfully and thoughtfully. Otherwise, take your voice elsewhere or keep silent. You are always welcome here. Your hate speech is not. ● Jennifer Fumiko Cahill is the Journal’s arts and features editor. Reach her at 442-1400, extension 320, or Jennifer@ northcoastjournal.com.

About the Fourth Estate Editor: Mr. Rick Brennan in the June 8 edition (Mailbox) claims that “The press is the enemy of the people…” This view is directly opposed to the founders’ views about a free society, which is why freedom of speech and the press was guaranteed in the First Amendment to the Constitution. A few decades ago, I was taught that Thomas Jefferson was challenged by a visiting foreign friend for allowing the local newspaper to savage him. Allegedly, Jefferson told his guest to take the paper home to prove that freedom of the press was a reality in America. Forced to choose between the two, Jefferson would take a free press over government.

Mr. Brennan claims to hate all the press, but the only examples we get involve Trump’s 95 percent negative reportage, the Democratic Party, and the book “Shattered.” I have a copy of that book, maybe Mr. Brennan could quote chapter and verse to back up his claim.

Mr. Brennan is a fine one to talk about the Democrats being the “party of radical fascist hate” since the first thing radical fascists and dictators do is eliminate or dominate free speech and the press, just like Rick and the Trump administration. Just like autocrats everywhere like Fidel Castro in Cuba, Mao in China and Putin’s Russia.

Remember the dissident Russian journalist in London? The one who somehow absorbed all the radioactive polonium in the Northern Hemisphere. That’s the way!

Trump is president due to real and illusory issues with Hillary and an antiquated quirk in the Electoral College that weighted the votes of a minority against the majority. His “press” is 95 percent derogatory because he is incompetent and has a vile personality.

Timothy Crlenjak, Eureka

Editor: After reading some letters here in defense of journalism, I thought I’d weigh in with a different perspective. As a former reporter with centrist views, a while ago I began an informal research project aimed at verifying major news stories, confining myself to the subject of politics. Having collected over 40 stories that carry major errors, I think journalism can stand room for improvement.

We need some form of journalism if we’re going to have an open society, but let’s not pretend it’s science, or that the end result doesn’t have something to do with interpretation. As far as fake news goes, we’ve seen it on all sides of the political spectrum, but let’s be honest, the left is working overtime on generating its share of it.

Last week, The New York Times implicated Sarah Palin in the 2011 attempted assassination of Rep. Gabby Giffords. In this instance of journalistic excellence, a conspiracy theory disguised as fact made its way into an editorial. While the Times published a retraction, Palin may sue for libel. I’m neutral on Palin, but am concerned that some reporters are more interested in dishing out dirt than presenting the truth, especially where perceived enemies are central to the story.

Every paper has a particular voice or quirkiness that’s supported by advertisers who in turn, support the attitude.

With the Internet, every flavor of news is available in designer styles matching a multitude of demographics, preaching more to a chosen, circumspect choir. The unfortunate thing is, news gatherers have become more insulated and myopic, and the chasm between liberal and conservative reporting has widened in concert with market demands. I’m referring mostly to major news outlets. Regional news has an immediate relationship to original sources and is therefor less prone to distortion.

Franklin Stover, Eureka

Terry Torgerson

Editor: There’s a certain bitter irony to Rick Brennan crying “fascist” on the Democratic Party in defense of a politician who openly courted the support of neo-fascists. Unless, that is, his accusation of “radical fascist hate” was intended to imply that hating fascists is a “radical” and unacceptable stance?

What’s that Smell?

Editor: According to a Ryan Burns article posted June 14 on the Lost Coast Outpost, Journal Publisher Judy Hodgson recently

spoke to the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors and “urged the board to reconsider rules about setbacks from school bus stops.” This was prompted by a neighbor’s plan to site a marijuana project directly across from her winery’s tasting room. Presumably her logic was that it was preferable for school children awaiting a bus to be subjected to the stench of Humboldt homegrown, rather than the customers at her winery. The irony and hypocrisy of this proposal is almost beyond imagination.

same MD. He does point out that the processed food industries are on a quest to disguise its use. Certain additives always contain MSG. They are Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein, Hydrolyzed Protein, yeast extract and autolyzed yeast, to name just a few.

People can be eating a lot of glutamate while avoiding the MSG label.

The study mentioned said there was no difference with the MSG group as well as the control group. There was probably Glutamate in the food the placebo group was eating. When I had bad problems from it years ago, no doctor thought of even considering that as a possible cause. After eliminating it, several health problems cleared up.

‘Political in Nature’ Editor: Ms. Silbory strikes me as being one of the “ashamed to be white crowd” (“Black Lives and Good Faith,” June 15). In her reference to the Rodney King riots, she fails

As for Ms. Silbory being a crusader for black justice, what’s she doing living in just about the most white area in California?

Surely she could be better served by moving to Oakland or East Palo Alto!

As for the Black Lives Matter button, it is political, along with “Hands up Don’t

‘Not a Fan’ Editor: So, Judge Greenson, I am not an authentic Warriors fan (“Unpopular Opinions,” June 15). Oh, I watch, I thrill, I despair, I cheer! But no, not “a fan.” Despite watching through all those Biedrins years.

And I do recall Chris Webber as a Warrior — but preferred him as a King. Loved those Kings! Still do. A Kings fan, then?

Not. Nor a fan of da Bulls ... but I like ‘em.

Warriors and Kings games are simply more available here.

Fandom, fanaticism, yeah ... nah. Speedy Claxton? Righhhht, you got a bunch of stats to test me on as well? Because frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn. Nor do I sport a player jersey (you could choose just one?).

The appreciation of a team well coached, of games well played, does not command unconditional loyalty. The reward of watching pro basketball played brilliantly need not require fanaticism.

Enthusiasm, sure — but blind? Why? Baseball, I’ve been watching for only a few years. Guess who? Giants! Why? Had to start somewhere! They happened to be winning then. They aren’t now. Am I still watching? Yep. A fan, then? Nope.

Not a spec of black/orange, anywhere. No bobble heads, no trips to AT&T, just that peaceful, easy feeling, even as their roster keeps changing.

Last year, I cheered the Giants. When they went down, I cheered the Dodgers.

When they went down, I cheered the Cubs. Loved those Cubbies! But not whoever it was they beat ... because, see, I will admit to a loyalty, and an active UNcheering toward a few non-fave teams (Cleveland).

‘Undermined’

Attorney alleges public defender hire is treating the indigent like ‘guinea pigs’

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

L

ocal attorney Patrik Griego is arguing that he should be allowed to proceed with his case alleging Humboldt County’s public defender doesn’t meet minimum state qualifications for the job.

“By appointing an ineligible individual to serve as public defender, the (Humboldt County Board of Supervisors) undermined the public’s trust in our justice system,” Griego wrote in an opposition filed Friday to the county’s request to have the suit dismissed. “The board is not above the law. It does not have the discretion to disregard eligibility laws for a trusted public position.”

In its motion to have the suit dismissed filed last month, the county called Griego’s suit “frivolous and baseless,” and argued that he was asking the court to intervene in a “purely political dispute.”

David Marcus’ appointment to the position vacated by the retirement of Kevin Robinson has been plagued by controversy since it was announced in February. First, members of the local defense bar criticized the county’s hiring process, which featured an advisory panel that didn’t include a defense attorney but featured the county’s district attorney, undersheriff and chief probation officer — positions normally considered adversarial

to the public defender. Then, almost all employees of the public defender’s office combined to sign a pair of no-confidence letters that alleged Marcus is unqualified and incompetent. Then, there’s Griego’s lawsuit.

The stakes for Marcus’ hire and the lawsuit challenging it are high, as the role of the public defender’s office is huge in the local justice system. In 2014 — the last year for which we have complete numbers — the office’s attorneys were appointed in 89 percent of felony case filings and 77 percent of misdemeanor cases, and it’s estimated that more than half of Humboldt County’s population qualifies to be represented by the office should they find themselves on the wrong side of a criminal charge.

At the time of his hire, Marcus was working primarily as an insurance adjuster in Florida and hadn’t practiced criminal law in California since his controversial six-year tenure as Lassen County’s chief public defender came to an end in 2011, shortly after the civil grand jury there accused him of failing to show up for work most of the time and improperly using his office’s professional development education funds.

But Humboldt County has touted Marcus’

experience representing California’s indigent, noting that, in addition to his years in Lassen, Marcus spent 13 years as a deputy public defender in San Bernardino. Marcus also holds a master’s degree in public administration.

The heart of Griego’s lawsuit centers on the California government code section that sets out the minimum qualifications for a public defender, saying a candidate is not eligible for the post unless he or she “has been a practicing attorney in all the courts of the state for at least the year preceding the date of his election or appointment.” This is notably different than the minimum qualifications laid out in Humboldt County’s government code, which simply requires a candidate to be licensed to practice in California for the year prior to being appointed.

In court, the county is arguing the statutes are synonymous. Interpreting the issue otherwise, the county argued, would “necessarily mean that an attorney is only eligible for the office of public defender if the attorney had made a physical appearance in literally all California courts, including every superior court in all 58 Continued on page 11 »

counties, every division of the six districts of the appellate court, as well as the California Supreme Court. This is an impossible requirement to meet.”

Griego thinks otherwise, arguing that the statute simply requires a qualified candidate to have spent the prior year practicing law in California civil and criminal courts. To buttress his point, Griego cites the legislative history of the state statute, noting that in the lead-up to its creation, advocacy groups were debating whether public defenders should appear in civil as well as criminal courts. Further, he notes, the statutes that outline the duties of a public defender included criminal and civil representation in the “superior, municipal and justice courts” until 2002, when the municipal courts were unified with superior courts.

On his resume submitted to the county, Marcus represented that he worked for the Walnut Creek law firm of Cella, Lange and Cella from 2012 until earlier this year,

doing transactional real estate and property loss consulting as a contract attorney.

But he indicated he only worked 10 hours a week and reported that he was receiving no monthly salary.

If a judge determines the state statute does require more of a public defender hire than simply having been licensed, Marcus’ recent work history seems poised to be put under a microscope.

In his filing, Griego argues that Marcus’ history does not meet the threshold of having practiced in California over the past year.

“In truth, Marcus did not practice law as a contract attorney in California, much less in the courts of California,” he wrote.

“A records subpoena to Marcus and the law firm for whom Marcus claimed to be a contract attorney showed that Marcus had no contract with that law firm, submitted no hours to that law firm, never appeared on any pleadings, never appeared in court, was not listed on malpractice insurance,

Griego responds, saying the suit is in the public interest and the board is not “above the law.”

The county’s motion to have the case dismissed is slated to be heard by a visiting judge on June 29 and, if the suit is allowed to proceed, Marcus is scheduled to testify under oath at a deposition on July 3.

In its motion to have the case dismissed, the county also challenged the plaintiffs’ standing to bring the suit, which was filed on behalf of a few named Humboldt County citizens and taxpayers, and unnamed employees and clients of the public defender’s office. Griego argues in his motion that this amounts to a public interest lawsuit — a check on whether a government agency is following the law in the appointment of an important public employee — so all have adequate standing to bring the suit.

While the county has alleged that the suit is just a byproduct of “those fuming about the merits of a political appointment” and dismissed it as an “artificial legal controversy” drummed up because the board bypassed a favored candidate for someone else, Griego contends in his filing that it is really about ensuring Humboldt County’s indigent have adequate legal representation — the kind the state Legislature envisioned when it created the statewide public defender system.

“The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors’ appointment of a person who had not stepped into a California courtroom or practiced criminal law in at least five years is contrary to the language and purpose of this statute,” he argued.

“It places our indigent citizens in the unfortunate position of being guinea pigs for an attorney who needs to come up to speed.” ● Thadeus Greenson is the news editor at the Journal. Reach him at 442-1400, extension 321, or thad@northcoastjournal.com. Follow him on Twitter @thadeusgreenson.

Senior Citizens and Cannabis Use

ecent research published by Drug and Alcohol Dependence found that states with medical marijuana laws have seen a dramatic decrease in opioid use and overdose. Opioid abuse and dependence in medical marijuana states had a roughly 23% lower occurrence than states without medical marijuana laws. In addition to reducing overdoses, the medicare program saved money in medical cannabis states by experiencing reductions in prescription drug abuse. Although this type of information rarely makes its way to mainstream media, many patients are hearing about the benefits of medical cannabis by word of mouth. In particular, our dispensary has seen an increase in senior patients investigating cannabis products as an alternative or adjunct to their current pharmaceutical drug use. It is a challenge for many of our senior citizen patients to have discussions with their primary doctors about exploring cannabis use. In an effort to help educate our community members, our collective has attended multiple medical cannabis conferences across the country to meet and discuss cannabis use with leading researchers and doctors.

Finding the right preparation for a targeted ailment is always the first challenge for new patients. Many of our senior patients have consumed cannabis many years ago, and only had access to cannabis flower buds, bubble hash, or trim. In today’s market patients will have access to traditional preparations in addition to tinctures,

salves, bathing soaks, drinks, edibles, co2 pens, capsules, patches, and massage oils.

This can be overwhelming and intimidating to our senior citizens when trying to use cannabis safely and responsibly. For many of our patients experiencing general pain or arthritis, many find they may not need to smoke cannabis at all, but may benefit from applying a cannabis lotion. A CBD tincture for inflammation could reduce daily pain without changing the psychoactivity of patients.

Our educated and experienced staff at HPRC can help educate patients on the best application of medical cannabis products.

After the right preparation is discovered patients should always consider the dose. Senior citizen patients in particular are more likely to be taking other medications, including blood pressure medicine, blood sugar medicines, benzodiazepines, and blood thinners. Since THC can affect blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and drowsiness, extra caution should be taken when mixing these drugs. Fall risks can be further increased when mixing high amount of THC with certain narcotics or antidepressants. This is why it is imperative to know the cannabinoid content of any medicine, and ensure the item has been lab tested. Many of our senior citizen patients report that the use of medical cannabis products

allows them to decrease the use of other medications, some of which have adverse side effects. Patients self report an increase in well being, a reduction in opioid use, and taxpayers save money by having less burdens on the medicare program.

With the recent legalization of recreational cannabis and the implementation of stronger medical cannabis regulations in the State of California our dispensary is excited to have more research done on medical cannabis uses and dangers. As more information surfaces through quality research, HPRC aims to be the local leader in medical cannabis education, quality product production, and informational interactions with every visit! Always work closely with your doctor whenever making changes to your medicine, and never neglect to investigate healthy food choices and active lifestyles to increase well-being without drug use.

Week in Weed

Game Changer

State bill brings sweeping changes for cannabis industry

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

W

ith little fanfare, state lawmakers passed a landmark bill last week that will have reverberating impacts on the state’s budding mari-

juana industry.

Attached to the Legislature’s votes on the state budget was a rider that will essentially merge the landmark Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MCRSA) and Proposition 64 into a single regulatory framework for the multi-billion-dollar industry. The bill, which now sits on Gov. Jerry Brown’s desk awaiting his signature, passed the Senate 31-3 and the Assembly 73-2. Both North Coast representatives — Sen. Mike McGuire and Assemblymember Jim Wood — voted for it.

Here’s a brief look at how Senate Bill 94 — if signed by Brown — will change California cannabis law: Creates the Bureau of Cannabis Control: The law would create the bureau as the sole entity responsible for issuing, denying, suspending and revoking licenses for the transportation, storage, distribution, testing and sale of cannabis in the state.

Allows Consolidated Storefronts: Under the bill, medical and recreational cannabis could both be sold from a single shop so long as its owner has licenses to do both and follows the separate testing provisions outlined for each. A testing facility, meanwhile, could test both types of marijuana under a single license.

Organics: The law requires the California Department of Food and Agriculture to come up with standards for an organic cannabis designation by 2021. Similarly, the department is tasked with coming up with designated “origin regions,” similar to how the food sector treats some specialty wines and cheese.

Marketing: The proposed law will only allow cannabis advertising in mass media if at least 71.6 percent of the audience is “reasonably expected” to be 21 years of age or older. Under the bill, edibles will all have to be marked with a universal symbol hoped to make them instantly recognizable.

Residency: The bill repeals a residency provision that was included in Proposition 64 and required that people starting cannabis businesses in the state to have lived

here prior to Jan. 1, 2015. The provision had been included in Proposition 64 to protect the state’s existing cannabis industry from an out-of-state green rush.

Taxes: The bill subjects all cannabis — medical or recreational — to a cultivation tax of $9.35 per ounce of flowers to be collected at the time of harvest and a 15 percent excise tax that will be determined based on average market value rather than retail sales receipts.

Tax Collection: Recognizing that cannabis will be a cash-heavy industry for the foreseeable future, the bill establishes that by 2018, the state will establish a “safe and viable” way to collect cash payments for fees and taxes. Further, the bill requires the new bureau, in coordination with the Department of General Services, to establish a new office specifically to collect cash payments from the industry in either Humboldt, Mendocino or Trinity counties so folks in the industry don’t have to drive car-fulls of cash down to Sacramento.

Vertical Integration: The bill would largely do away with prior laws that restricted people’s ability to hold different license types, preventing a single company from being licensed to grow, transport and distribute cannabis.

Delivery: The bill allows cannabis home delivery but requires delivery retailers to have a “brick-and-mortar” store, even if it’s closed to the public and solely operated for cannabis deliveries.

Compliance: In potentially the most significant change for Humboldt County, the new bill changes the proof-of-compliance provision previously enacted under MCRSA, which required that, as a condition of getting state licenses, applicants would have to submit proof that they were in compliance with local laws. Under the new bill, it’s up to the city or county to alert the state of an applicant who is out of compliance with local laws.

The bill won’t become law until signed

by Brown, which most expect will happen in the coming days. l Thadeus Greenson is the news editor at the Journal. Reach him at 442-1400, extension 321, or thad@northcoastjournal.com.

Sessions Fights to Fight Legal Weed

L

ost in all the reports of his testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee was news that last month U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions asked Congress to give him broad authority to crack down on medical marijuana cultivators and distributors acting in accordance with state laws.

On May 1, Sessions penned a letter to congressional leaders asking them to strike a provision in a spending bill that bars the Department of Justice from using its federal funding to prosecute people operating in compliance with state law. Known as the Rohrabacher-Farr Amendment, the check on Justice Department power has been a mainstay in congressional budget bills since first passed in 2014.

“I believe it would be unwise for Congress to restrict discretion of the Department to fund particular prosecutions, particularly in the midst of an historic drug epidemic and potentially long-term uptick in violent crime,” Sessions explained in the letter.

It’s interesting to break down Sessions’ reason for pushing Congress to change course just one day before a continuing resolution to fund the government through September was to come up for a vote.

While the national violent crime rate has been increasing in recent years — along with urban homicide rates — national rates are about half of what they were 15 years ago, according to research from the nonprofit Pew Research Center.

But the FBI reported a 10 percent increase in the national murder rate between 2014 and 2015, and experts expect a similar bump when the complete 2016 numbers are released later this year.

As to the drug epidemic, there’s little

question it has reached historic proportions. More than 33,000 people died of opioid overdoses in 2015, which is about equal to the number of national roadway fatalities and, for the first time, more than died from gunshot wounds. (In Humboldt County, we recorded 20 drug-related deaths in 2015.)

But Sessions’ pointing at the “historic drug epidemic” as a reason to crack down on state legal medical marijuana operators seems shaky. A groundbreaking study recently published in the Drug and Alcohol Dependence journal indicates states with medical marijuana programs are seeing substantially lower rates of opioid addiction and overdose.

The study looked at administrative records of hospital discharges from 27 states, nine of which had legalized medical marijuana, over a 17-year period and found that states with legal access to medical marijuana saw rates of opioid-related hospitalizations drop 23 percent while overdoses fell 17 percent.

But Sessions has made clear he doesn’t buy the research or the premise, saying earlier this year that he was “astonished” to hear people talk of marijuana as a means of addressing the opioid epidemic, opining that heroin users would just be trading one “life-wrecking dependency” for another that’s “only slightly less awful.”

To further buttress his request in the letter, Sessions warns that “drug traffickers” are already operating under “the guise” of state marijuana laws.

“In particular, Cuban, Asian, Caucasian and Eurasian criminal organizations have established operations in state-approved marijuana markets,” Sessions wrote. “For example, just this past month in Colorado, state authorities allege that an individual

POSTED 06.19.17 who held an active Colorado license for operating a medical marijuana business was the ringleader of a criminal organization that also shipped marijuana out of state.”

While the image of “Cuban” and “Eurasian” traffickers pushing weed throughout the continental United States may seem terrifying to our AG, it’s actually a bit of a non sequitur, as Sessions’ specific example illustrates. The amendment — which Congress ultimately passed despite Sessions’ objection — only protects those operating in accordance with state laws.

It is against Colorado law for a cannabis operator to transport or distribute across state lines, thus there is nothing in the amendment preventing Sessions’ U.S. Attorneys from indicting and prosecuting the very case he points to as necessitating the change in policy. It’s hard to imagine a

Another Traffic Death: Jarrod Waddle, a 35-year-old Redding man, was killed June 17 when he lost control of his SUV and hit a tree off South G Street in Arcata. According to the California Highway Patrol, Waddle is suspected of having been under the influence at 3:35 a.m. when he exited U.S. Highway 101 at South G Street at an undetermined speed, failed to negotiate a curve on the off ramp and drove straight into a tree. Waddle was unresponsive when CHP and paramedics arrived on scene, while his passenger suffered minor injuries. This is the 16th roadway death in Humboldt County so far this year. POSTED 06.17.17

sitting attorney general would not know this.

It’s unclear why it took so long for Sessions’ May 1 letter to see the light of day, as it was only first reported by the Washington Post on Tuesday. And remember that President Donald Trump, in a signing note that accompanied the appropriations bill, challenged Congress’ authority to limit the Department of Justice’s discretion.

While it’s hard to know how this will trickle down to the hills and dispensaries of Humboldt County, it seems pretty clear Sessions isn’t inclined to soften his stance on marijuana. And it also looks like the issue is poised to once again be evaluated in September, when Congress will again be tasked with passing a short-term funding resolution to keep government running.

The Huff Sues The Donald: North Coast Congressman Jared Huffman is among the 197 members of Congress who have filed a lawsuit alleging that President Donald Trump has been profiting from business dealings with foreign governments in violation of the Constitution. “This lawsuit … has a good chance of forcing disclosures that will reveal the extent of his financial obligations and conflicts of interest,” Huffman wrote on Facebook, explaining that he feels he and 196 of his fellow Democrats have standing to bring the suit because the Constitution requires officials to get congressional approval before accepting gifts — or emoluments — from foreign governments.

A

t a little house on Maplewood Drive, the radio is tuned to KRED and a country song swings its way across the windswept, sunny lot in McKinleyville’s newest 32-acre subdivision. Building Trades teacher Dave Enos is in the garage with a clutch of high school students, engrossed in fixing a broken saw. Out back, young men swagger around in heavy tool belts, assembling the foundation of a deck. They hold themselves unlike most teenagers. They stand a bit taller. For some, their futures are taking shape as a result of this class.

McKinleyville High School senior Austin Jacobs sidles up, grinning. When asked what he’s doing after graduation, he comes over

all kinds of serious and says he’s got a job in construction. “I’m pursuing that career,” he says. Fellow senior Aaron Nemetz lets loose an eye roll. “Pursuing that career,” he teases. Nemetz says he’s had multiple job offers and will take off to join a crew in Utah this summer. Nemetz, who hung every door in the Maplewood house, wishes the younger kids at his school could take the class, too. “They’re bummed,” he says. Without a swift, innovative funding solution, this is the last house the Building Trades program will construct.

Based out of the MHS campus, Enos has been building houses with McKinleyville and Arcata high school students

for 23 years. His program is known and well regarded throughout the local community and even beyond. “One of the best career technical education programs in Northern California exists on the McKinleyville High School campus,” says California State Sen. Mike McGuire, who visited the Maplewood house a few months back. “Building Trades is such an impressive, robust, results-driven program.

They’ve done a fantastic job. It truly is one of the best in the state.”

Building Trades was first

offered by the Humboldt Regional Occupational Program (HROP) back in the late 1970s at Eureka, Arcata, McKinleyville, Klamath-Trinity, Fortuna and Ferndale high schools. At the program’s start, students worked on small projects like storage sheds but, with Rob Bode at the helm in 1987, they started building entire houses.

As far as anyone in the Humboldt County Office of Education (HCOE) knows, it was the first home construction program for high school students in the state.

The class demands a two-year commitment from students, who usually take the course their junior and senior years. Thirteen teens enrolled in the class this past year from both Arcata and McKinleyville.

Every afternoon, they would head over to the job site and spend fifth and sixth periods helping build a house from the ground up, involved in every stage of the project,

from digging the foundation to installing sprinkler systems and putting up the finish trim. Since the students can’t get paid due to workman’s compensation issues, they instead earn tool credits, which allow them to fill their tool bags in preparation for future projects. The students in Enos’ architectural design class developed the plans for the houses, many of which integrate cutting-edge green technology.

Over the years, Enos and his crew of teenagers have completed 16 homes and helped out with major building projects like the Fieldbrook firehouse, a law enforcement facility at McKinleyville’s Pierson Park and an athletic field house on the MHS campus. Keeping with a longstanding tradition of support, more than 90 local businesses donated materials to the Maplewood house. Jim Furtado, of JLF Construction, who took the Building Trades class at Arcata High back in the 1980s, always saves Enos a lot in his subdivisions and gives him a deal on the price.

Gene Callahan, a local contractor who’s helped Enos teach Building Trades since 1998, says that, more than anything, the class is about teaching kids how to “show up.” It’s also about providing local industry with a pool of potential employees who know how to work. “Right now,” Callahan says, “it’s near impossible to find employees who not only know what the heck they’re doing, but who even know how to Continued on next page »

show up in the first place. In this class, we say, ‘Come here, put on your tool belt and don’t screw around.’”

Callahan is frustrated that Maplewood is the last house for Building Trades.

“Everybody says this is the best program we have going in Humboldt County, this is the one we need the most. And this is the one they’re going to cut,” he says, shaking his head. “I just love doing this. It is so full of value. Who’s gonna’ teach you to be in the trades? If your dad doesn’t teach you, who is? Most of these kids don’t have a dad to teach ‘em.

“We’re a poor county,” he continues.

“We’re not down there in the Bay Area where every kid’s gonna’ go to college and every kid’s gonna’ get a high tech degree or go into banking. We are a county that used to have mill jobs and fishing jobs and all of that has fallen apart. But there’s a lot of work around here.”

Callahan, who has retired on numerous occasions, says his phone rings off the hook with people looking for recommendations for carpenters. “I have 45 years of clients who still need something done and I don’t know where to turn,” he says.

Even though plenty of college-bound

a more balance variety of courses. He believes the current focus on college prep programs, like Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate, is a misuse of time, effort and energy, considering the few students they help.

While high schools primarily focus resources on preparing kids for college, only about 30 percent of California students actually end up pursuing a four-year degree, according to McGuire.

“What we know is, [Career and Technical Education (CTE)] is good for students,” he says. “If a student is enrolled in a CTE program, we see an 81 percent decrease in high school dropouts statewide. We also see a 90.8 percent graduation rate of students who are enrolled in CTE and that’s above the average statewide graduation rate of 74.9 percent.”

Enos wants to get word out that tradesbased education is something students truly need. In turn, local industry, desperate for employees, needs them. Enos asks what can be done to keep offering classes like his for kids in Humboldt County. After decades of seeing the powerful impact of hands-on education for students with interests and abilities across the academic spectrum, Enos is solemn but not resigned.

“We’re going down swinging,” he says.

Deputy County Superintendent Jon Sapper sits at a conference table at the HCOE headquarters in Eureka. He leans forward in his pleather chair and executes a thoughtful, measured explanation for what happened to the funding for Enos’ Building Trades class and others like it.

He starts with a little history. Regional Occupational Centers and Programs (ROCP) was founded in California in 1967.

It provided stable funding of about $400 million a year to 72 CTE programs across the state. With these funds, Humboldt’s Regional Occupational Program (HROP) offered 31 career-based programs. Building Trades was one of them. “That funding is gone,” says Sapper, explaining that, in 2015, after almost 50 years, the state discontinued ROCP and put a new program in its place. “That new model has not treated rural areas well.”

Operated by the county office in partnership with local high school districts, HROP worked with a budget of about $2.5 million to provide hands-on career

training courses each year. Sapper says it was a model that truly worked for Humboldt County. In its heyday, local districts offered classes in more than 100 different career areas — like firefighting, video production, culinary arts, health occupations and landscape design.

Partnering with local industry was crucial to the program’s success.

“Over the years, our employer community has been tremendously supportive of career and technical education for local students,” says Sapper. “When ROCPs were in full force in Humboldt County, 168 local employers provided work experience and internship opportunities for students.

That’s very significant.”

While the state has historically been the biggest and most reliable source of CTE funding in California, it hasn’t been the only one. Districts have always operated their own career and vocational programs. Traditionally, ROCP funded upper division classes with a work experience component. School districts, meanwhile, tended to offer introductory classes. “A district would offer Auto One, Two, and Three and HROP would have funded Auto Four,” Sapper explains.

What made HROP unique was its ability to absorb high costs of equipment for courses like metal shop and robotics, and that it was designed to support small class sizes, allowing targeted, specialized training. While a typical lecture-style high school class requires about 24 students to be financially workable, an ROCP class could run with just eight to 12 students and still pay the bills.

The program also served students 16 years of age and older, allowing it to enroll adults as needed to fill out classes and make them viable. “That was a great model for rural counties that don’t have the numbers the larger areas do,” says Sapper.

In response to the 2008 economic recession, and to transition away from ROCP, the state implemented a “flex” funding model that lifted restrictions on money that was previously earmarked for specific programs, allowing districts to spend it in other ways. Even so, Sapper says, HCOE chose to continue to use that funding stream to support CTE classes until the bitter end. These flex funds allowed Enos and his students to finish their last house as the Building Trades class was the final HROP funded class in the county.

At this point, one might wonder why the state decided to eliminate ROCP funding in the first place. In addition to a general pinch in the state budget, Sapper says a couple of dynamics came into play. First, the state felt some urban areas were using too many of their dollars for exclusively adult-based programs. Second, officials wanted to move to a framework called Career Pathways, which requires schools to offer multiple, sequenced courses in a given training area. Sapper says this was doable in big cities, but it is near impossible to sustain in rural schools with limited enrollment and financial resources.

The 2015 Budget Act

terminated ROCP funding and shifted the money over to what was called the Career Techni-

cal Education Incentive Grant Program (CTEIG), a competitive grant structure with a steep matching funds requirement. It was geared toward students in kindergarten through high school and eliminated the adult education component that had provided crucial flexibility to rural districts. With $900 million to spend over three years, CTEIG was set up in 2015-16 to provide $400 million in funding to schools across California the first year, $300 million for the next and $200 million for 20172018, the program’s final year.

But instead of being managed by the county with stable, predictable funding, districts and classroom teachers became responsible for applying for grants to fund their individual CTE programs. County Superintendent Chris Hartley says some districts didn’t even want to apply for the money because the new program’s compliance components were too complicated to keep up with. In response, the county stepped in to provide support, which came in the form of Susi Huschle, CTE coordinating teacher and career counselor for HCOE, who helps districts navigate the hoops to keep funding flowing for CTE courses across the county.

“The funding is a sliver of what it was before,” says Huschle, her desk scattered in budget charts. And it’s on a steady decline. In the 2013-2014 school year, HROP received $2.7 million to run its programs.

That amount was more than halved in the first year under the competitive grant system, when local districts applied for more Continued on next page »

Union High School District held a special board meeting to address the closure of the Building Trades class. Enos gave a presentation about how hands-on programs like his can change students’ lives. Local trades industry leaders and community members spoke in support.

“You wouldn’t believe how we filled that whole hall up with people,” says Callahan. “There were parents that cried.

Some said, ‘If it wasn’t for this class, my kid wouldn’t even go to school.’”

Minutes from the meeting indicate that interim district Superintendent Kenny Richards reminded the impassioned crowd that the district has never funded the class. Since its inception, Building Trades has been funded by HROP, not the district. HROP teachers like Enos are county employees, not school district employees.

It was the county’s decision to eliminate the program, not the district’s, Richards said.

But despite vehement community support for Enos’ class, the district did not agree to step in and save it. Without cutting funding to other popular or mandated programs, it couldn’t, says Hartley.

“The rubber kind of meets the road in a situation like this,” he says. “Districts don’t have any options. We can’t just run the Building Trades program because we like it. For people to even go to that board meeting …”

Hartley pauses and regroups.

“Look, those board members’ hands are tied,” he continues. “If we run this, we’re going to have to cut something, so what should we cut? Our woodshop program?

Who do we fire to keep this going? We’re in an impossible situation. There’s no slush fund around here to grab. … If we had new dollars, awesome. We’d love to keep it.”

“I don’t even think it’s, ‘If we had new dollars.’” adds Huschle. “It’s if we have the same dollars — that’s a big part of it — the dollars were taken away. We need to get the dollars that we had.”

Huschle recognized that the

Northern Humboldt district meeting perhaps wasn’t the most appropriate venue to discuss the future of trades education in Humboldt County. So, afterward, she collected the names and contact information of everyone who attended in support of Enos’ class and invited them to a June 7 meeting hosted by HCOE, with the hope of launching a local trades industry partnership.

for a frank discussion about Humboldt’s trades-based job market. They came to a quick consensus that it’s time to stop looking to Sacramento for solutions and hunker down here at the local level to come up with a sustainable plan to save — and maybe even expand —trades education in Humboldt.

Humboldt County industries have always been supportive of local schools — just consider all of those businesses that donated to Enos’ Maplewood house or the 168 Sapper says used to offer internships to local students. The Trades Industry Partnership wants to take that relationship a step further and bridge the gap between Humboldt County’s young workforce and an industry that finds itself in crisis, desperate for workers.

Everyone agreed there’s a very big messaging problem when it comes to blue collar jobs. They formed a marketing committee to work toward nudging blue collar work back into the public eye as a righteous career path for both high school graduates and college bound students.

The group also discussed the development of apprenticeship, internship and mentorship programs as early as middle

ment to reassemble and report back in September. In the meantime, educators in the room expressed a commitment to shifting the college-is-best narrative kids currently hear from school counselors and teachers. Everyone agreed it is crucial to start letting kids know a career in the trades is just as viable a choice as college.

In recent years, starting with eighth graders’ freshman orientation, students are persuaded to enroll in intensive, college preparatory courses. This happens across the board, seemingly with little consideration of where a student’s interests or abilities lie. The message to students is clear: If you don’t take college level courses during your time in high school, you might not get into the best of colleges and, without college, you won’t be successful. Sometimes, kids have other strengths. But right now, they’re not being presented with other respected alternatives.

Why the push toward college prep?

This goes back to something Huschle talked about in a meeting the week before. Under the current model, she says, a school’s funding level is determined by its Academic Performance Index (API) score.

This score measures academic growth using standardized test scores and college enrollment rates as indicators of school success. Schools are funded accordingly.

“The one thing that we know about schools is, if it’s measured or mandated, it’s funded,” Huschle says. “That’s just life.” Right now, (vocational) courses serve no purpose in terms of measured and mandated. So it’s easy to say, ‘They’re expensive, let’s get rid of them.’”

This may be about to change. The state is developing legislation that would expand its “measuring” concept to include career readiness indicators, too. This is a potential game changer for career and technical education throughout the state. If it becomes one of the measured pieces of the educational achievement metric, she says, districts are more likely to fund it.

We still don’t know

if Enos will get to build another house with another class. The possibility of finding a solution is still on the table for a a few more weeks. The outlay for the Building Trades program is “It’s like about $400,000 over the course bass fishing. of two years. (See cost breakdown in We’ve gotta’ chart.) The Maplewood house took keep putting two years to build and is expected something in to sell in the low $400,000s. Based front of their on those figures, it seems the program noses or we’ll doesn’t really cost anything in lose them.” the end. In fact, Enos says all of — Dave Enos his classes’ homes have sold at a profit, except one that got caught up in the housing market crash. The county and district would need to get creative

about who would officially employ Enos, otherwise, someone’s just got to manage the money and float the debt while the house is being built.

The afternoon wears on at the job site on Maplewood Drive. The kids are gone, and Enos is talking to a woman from next door, who’s stopped by for her daily progress report. While he shows her the concrete poured that day, she says her son took the Building Trades class from Rob Bode at Eureka High years ago and loved it. She heads home to cook dinner and Enos returns to discussing the future of his class and his industry.

He thinks it’s vital to keep education relevant for all kinds of students, especially those who don’t fit into the college-bound box. “It’s like bass fishing.” he says “We’ve gotta’ keep putting something in front of their noses or we’ll lose them.”

“After they graduate, the reason kids get into drugs, or stuff they shouldn’t be doing, is because they don’t have any other targets to shoot for,” Enos says.

“So many of the kids in my class over the years have truly paid attention. They got something out of it. And then they went out there and really used it.”

Enos leans back against his van in pair of dark shades.

“Right now the demand for people who know how to work is off the charts,” he continues. “Whether it’s fast food, or construction, or home health care — whatever. Everybody’s looking for people to work. Nobody wants to work.” l

Shelling Out

The cost of competing at Oyster Fest Story and photos by Jennifer Fumiko Cahill

A

jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

fter nearly four hours on lockdown at Mazzotti’s, judges for the Arcata Bay Oyster Festival handed in our score sheets for head Oystress Rachel Marrella and her team to tally and name the winners. Eight contenders served up raw and cooked oysters, and only four threw their hats in the ring for non-oyster honors. It’s a small group compared to the scores of booths lining the plaza, though not surprising when you consider what goes into entering the competition.

The coveted Best Raw went to newcomer Savory Grill and Cafe for its oysters served in a molcajete cauldron and topped with carmelized onions, pineapple, red wine vinegar, cilantro, lemon juice, shallots, garlic, olive oil, cherry tomatoes and chives. (And there’s your recipe for Fourth of July, folks.) Sushi Spot, which swept last year’s competition, stayed in the game with Best Cooked, serving up a showstopper of a barbecued Goose Point with a creamy, spicy-sweet topping of garlic-jalapeño aioli, honey sriracha, crunchy toasted garlic and green onions. Salt Fish House, in its first year at the festival, took Best Non-oyster with a skewer of grilled octopus, cherry tomatoes and olives, with lemon vinaigrette and mint.

Restaurant Five Eleven, another first-timer, won the new category for Best in Show with a grilled Humboldt Bay oys-

ter served with lobster sauce and roasted corn salsa, and a raw Humboldt Bay oyster with honeydew melon and cucumber gazpacho and golden trout caviar. (Its cooked oyster score was a mere .1 points behind Sushi Spot and the raw was .5 behind Savory’s entry.) Josh Wiley, executive chef of Five Eleven has served as a judge in the past and kept that experience in mind preparing his entries. “As a judge, I’ve sucked down a room temperature raw oyster and it’s not pleasant,” he says. So he made sure to keep raw oysters packed in ice and to top hot oysters with piping hot sauce, removing them from the grill at the last possible moment. Wiley is pleased, if a little muddy on how the scoring worked.

“Honestly, I personally don’t care that much. It’s good for the restaurant.”

Everybody likes to win but for some contenders there’s a little more riding on the outcome. An engraved bowl doesn’t have much impact for a high school cheerleading squad but for a restaurant, having a stall, much less taking home an award, makes for valuable publicity, even if the winning entry doesn’t make it onto the regular menu. Wiley says he saw that effect when he was cooking at Plaza Grill, where oyster orders increased “exponentially” after an Oyster Fest win in the early 2000s. Still, a shot at that marketing boost doesn’t come cheap.

Having a booth at Oyster Fest is no sim-

Sushi Spot keeps the cooked crown for this creamy-spicy entry.

Savory Grill and Café’s winning raw oysters. ple thing. According to Festival Coordinator Nancy Stephenson, Arcata Main Street charges $600 for a spot, which doesn’t include the required one-day insurance an outfit has to procure on its own. The Health Department will sell you a one-day permit for $65, which comes with a set of health and safety operating rules. You’re going to need a covered tent — necessary for food prep — and all your own mobile kitchen equipment, from grills and charcoal to paper boats and toothpicks, not to mention last-minute incidentals, like additional oyster shuckers or replacing busted tongs. It all adds up. And you’d better have a hand washing station and proper food handling locked down if you want to pass the Health Department inspection on the morning of the event. One vendor, whom Stephenson declined to name, had to pack up and go home before the event even started this year due to a reported food handling violation.

Once all that’s squared away, there’s the cost of ingredients and labor. If you’re that fundraising cheerleading squad, you need to round up volunteers who are willing to show up at 5:30 a.m. and shuck, grill, serve and work a register until teardown 12 hours later. But if you’re running a restaurant, you’re looking at two shifts or overtime for four employees minimum.

Five Eleven set up with a skeleton crew but had 12 staff members from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., all of whom it had to pay around $15 per hour, totaling in the neighborhood of $1,200 for labor. The cost of oysters varies but Wiley got them for $7-$8 per dozen and sold them at $5 for three. “We did 4,300 oysters,” he says, admitting the profit margin is thin. “You’re not squeezing very much out of it,” he adds. “If we made 500 bucks, I’ll be surprised. … If you make $1,000 out there, you’re doing really good.”

Festival regulars Bear River Casino and Mazzotti’s, both of which stay open and have to staff their dining rooms during the festival, abstained this year.

Will those Best in Show mollusks make an appearance on Five Eleven’s menu?

Wiley has to pencil that out and see if the pricey sauce made from lobsters and the caviar topping make sense in terms of cost, but he’d like to serve it. And a marathon day of cooking nothing but oysters hasn’t put him off our beloved bivalves.

Still, he says, “I wasn’t going out to have oysters that night, that’s for sure.” l Jennifer Fumiko Cahill is the arts and features editor at the North Coast Journal.

Dell’Arte’s State of Jefferson Picnic

By Pat Bitton

I

t’s coming up on the Fourth of July and the MacBurn family has checked into KOALA (Kampground Of American Liberty for All) for their annual State of Jefferson Picnic, courtesy of Dell’Arte International. For generations, the MacBurns have had the campground to themselves — back since their cabin sat on the edge of a toxic swamp. But the important thing was — it was their toxic swamp.

Mac MacBurn, the family patriarch (Donald Forrest in a gloriously overthe-top performance reminiscent of his Trumpian turn at the Mad River Festival last year) is a dyed-in-the-wool America Firster. His wife, Mary (Sarah Peters, all sweetness and light), is determined that everyone has a good time. Son Carls Jr.* (a single-minded Jamie Van Camp) is a more focused and less smart version of his dad, and his hugely pregnant sister Wendys teeters precariously between her MacBurn roots and her Women’s Studies education at Humboldt State University (a nicely balanced performance by Rebecca Finney).

And yes, there is a reason these two are named after fast-food restaurants — but you’ll have to go see the play to find out.

Then there’s Wendys’ vegetarian partner Forest (Lucius Robinson), clearly attempting to stay sane in the face of increasingly hostile attitudes (and homemade brats made from deer shot by Mac). Rounding out the party is crazy old Grandma MacBurn (a tour de force by James Peck), who sees the face of Christ in kettle chips, is convinced cellphones have opened the gateway to hell and believes Michelle Obama has a penis.

Just as the family is getting settled in, The Boomers (an aging hippie band featuring local favorites Marla Joy, Tim Randles, Jeff Kelley and Mike LaBolle) arrive at the next-door campsite. Mac, of course, wants them gone and immediately summons Bob the campground manager (a delightful Bob Wells wearing his slightly curmudgeonly old-coot persona). Both parties have permits, so Mac is told. To his chagrin, he’ll have to share.

No sooner has the band settled in than two brothers from India arrive to celebrate the life of their late uncle, who “came here to be a tuk tuk driver for Google Maps.”

Bumfar (Pratik Motwani in a finely-tuned comic interpretation) is obsessed with American movie culture and harbors an unexplained terror of elk, while his more Americanized brother Brad (a nicely controlled performance by Tushar Mathew) struggles to keep Bumfar’s expectations real. Ever full of hope for humanity, Brad even renames the campground “Kinsmen of America Love All.” But when Mac sees Bumfar setting up an altar in a suitcase, he insists Bob remove the “foreigners worshipping rocks.” Unfortunately for Mac, these foreigners also have a permit.

Just as Mac attempts to swallow his biases and teach the Indians about the great American barbecue tradition, the sound of singing in a strange language wafts over them and the ethereal Anemone (regally portrayed by Zafiria Dimitropoulou) appears, followed by her (gasp) black husband Paz (an imposing and self-assured Tafadzwa Bob Mutumbi). When told that

34 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, June 22, 2017 • northcoastjournal.com

the pair has been directed by their shaman to come to this precise spot to conceive a child, Mac completely loses it, declaring to the long-suffering (and now “Commie suspect”) campground manager that this holiday is about “celebrating America for Americans.”

In a final attempt to salvage the family holiday weekend, Mary persuades Mac to negotiate a settlement in which each group gets its own roped-off area to celebrate in their own way — with one unusual proviso. Mac declares that anything falling accidentally into another group’s territory automatically becomes that group’s property — a decision which will come back to haunt him and teach him an important lesson before the end of the weekend.

The scenic design by Lynnie Horrigan is wonderfully evocative of campgrounds throughout the Pacific Northwest and the costumes are nothing short of amazing.

Mike Foster’s lighting design, James Hildebrandt’s technical direction and Caitlin Volz’s production management keep the atmosphere and the action on track.

The band, with musical direction and additional songwriting by Timmy Gray, creates a narrative thread throughout the play through both new works and mashups of familiar protest songs. There’s a good chance you’ll be singing “The State of Jefferson is Emerging” to the tune of “The Times, They are a-Changing” as you head home after the show.

Written by Michael Fields, Janessa Johnsrude, Zuzka Sabata and Jamie Van Camp, with additional material by Jeff Kelley, and

directed by Fields, The State of Jefferson is rife with topical references to the dangers of isolationism, the tendency to demonize the “other,” finding balance between freedom and security and the sense of belonging we all aspire to feel. And as for the State of Jefferson itself — well, it started out as a symbol of geographic alliances that perceived injustice based on place — and maybe, just maybe, its time has finally arrived.

Performances of The State of Jefferson Picnic continue Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at 8 p.m. through July 2 at the Rooney Amphitheater. Call 668-5663 or visit www.dellarte.com.

Opening The Mad River Festival rolls on. The Big Top Family Series features The Mysterious Magical Brandishers of Magic in the Pierson Big Hammer Tent on June 25 at 2 p.m. with a little mystery, a little physical comedy and a little magic. Call 668-5663 or visit www.dellarte.com.

Setlist

For Want and for Need

By Andy Powell

thesetlist@northcoastjournal.com

S

ummertime is here, and we’re all hoping the living will be easy. To make that possibility that much less certain, my wife and I decided to cut our children off from all electronic devices for the summer.

While this may sound like a great idea on paper, it’s a pretty insane 21st century move when the rubber hits the road. I’ve mentioned my Luddite-inspired tendencies before in this column, and have perhaps also mentioned that nothing would make my children happier than to drift away painlessly into the absorbing flickering light of a phone or computer screen while the hours melt seamlessly into days and weeks. So when we broke this news to the kids, it was not received well. When told they would have to sober up for the summer, the panic began to set in. Voices were raised and doors were slammed.

As I pondered their pain, I recalled the last time I was denied something I cared so deeply about. It wasn’t a phone or a video game, but rather music. And it wasn’t denied to by anyone, but due to circumstances. Back in the 20th century, we didn’t have phones that you could put music on. In my high school days, we were in the transition between cassette-playing Walkmans and Discmans. With the reliable — but uncool — Walkmans disappearing and the skip-prone Discmans making a move on the market, listening to music outside of your house or car, was not easy. So after graduating high school and backpacking across Europe with friends, I found myself unable listen to music on demand for the three full weeks we hostel-hopping teenagers traipsed around foreign lands. It wasn’t a big deal for the first day or two because we had our own challenges in front of us. Once we got the survival thing down, more luxurious “needs” became present. Where was music? I had Pink Floyd’s “On the Turning Away” and Led Zeppelin’s “Trampled Under Foot” burrowed into my head and the longer I couldn’t actually hear the songs, the more my frustration grew. We went to a jazz club in Haarlem outside of Amsterdam just to hear melody. We went to discotheques just to hear a beat (and try to meet ladies, of course). That all helped, but I was going mad not having “my mu-

sic” at my fingertips.

We had a slight reprieve when we found a jukebox at hostel in Bern, Switzerland. We sat around and listened to Guns n’ Roses and The Rolling Stones while other travelers passed us by. We got a temporary fix.

However, we hit the jackpot Roselit Bone plays Siren’s Song Tavern at 8 p.m. on Monday, June 26. Courtesy of the artists a few nights later when we stayed at my friend Ryan’s aunt’s flat in Prague.

Ants on Fire

Fair Share

What better time than summer to watch a horror movie about invading ants? They’re here. You’re already pissed at them. You want to see them wiped off the face of the earth. We go to the movies for entertainment and catharsis, so get ready to feel good. Grab your bug spray and march to the Eureka Theater on Friday, June 23 to catch the Sci-Fi classic THEM! (1954) playing at 7:30 p.m. for a mere $5.

The theater’s Fourth Friday Flix series brings the first of the 1950s “nuclear monster” films to its big screen. Get ready to shrink in terror at the gigantic, marauding ants looming large in what was the first (and considered best) of the ‘big bug’ subgenre, and then cheer as flame-throwing militia wipe them out. Yass, queen.

In a picked-over nutshell, a nest of irradiated ants is discovered in the New Mexico desert after state troopers encounter a catatonic girl and her torn apart trailer ... with an ominous sack of sugar that’s been ripped into. Things get sticky when the responsible parties, a gargantuan queen ant and her cunning consorts, escape the desert to establish a nest in the dark, dripping storm drains under the city of Los Angeles. A nationwide hunt to kill the man-eating beasts ensues, complete with wonderful non-CGI, mechanical ant special effects. The film ends with a warning (as many of the atomic Sci-Fi films did): “When man entered the atomic age, he opened the door to a new world.

What we may eventually find in that new world, no one can predict.”

Bonus, Sci-Fi fans: Catch a young Leonard Nimoy in a small (uncredited) role as an Army sergeant in the communications room poking fun at Texas and the state’s propensity for exalting the “bigness” of things. Illogical.

Girl Trouble Female bonding goes to hell

By Grant Scott-Goforth filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

47 METERS DOWN. I may have let out an audible groan when the title screen appeared: Johannes Roberts’ 47 Meters Down. If you’ve heard of Johannes Roberts, then you probably have a subscription to Fangoria, and I’m the asshole.

While the director has more than a dozen credits to his name, there wasn’t a title I recognized among them.

Despite this red flag, 47 Meters Down is a tight, uncomplicated genre piece that hits more than it misses, rounding out a decently fun claustrophobic thriller.

Lisa (Mandy Moore, who deserves to be in more and better films) and Kate (Claire Holt) are vacationing on the coast of Mexico. Lisa has lured her younger, more adventurous sister there under the guise of bonding but it turns out she’s been dumped by her boyfriend, who apparently “got bored.” Kate (somewhat maliciously) uses her sister’s feelings of inadequacy to convince her to go on a shark dive with a couple of locals they just met.

The next day, they’re motoring out to open water with a salty Matthew Modine, his dismissive mate and their two friends, who assure them everything will be fine, despite the fact that every other line in the script is a premonition (“I’m going to want to be down there forever,” Kate says).

To Roberts’ credit, the easily forgettable setup probably takes less than 10 minutes. No one’s here for familial drama, after all. Claire and Kate suit up, hop in a heavy, rickety steel cage, and are lowered into the freshly chummed waters.

After a short dip, and a brief view of a 20-foot great white, the sisters get spooked and call to be taken back up. Of course, the winch boom snaps and the cage plummets 47 meters to the sea floor.

The rest of the film is a refreshingly

Listening to Ivanka talk about empowering women. Rough Night

simple survival tale. The sisters are trapped — not only in the cage but by swarming sharks above and the spectre of the bends — meaning they can’t rise to the surface too fast.

It’s a scenario that hits a panoply of terror beats: claustrophobia, suffocation, darkness, monsters, abandonment and a ticking clock. The perspective wisely stays with the sisters, plunging the audience into the murkiness and confusion of the sea floor. To the director’s credit, given the setting, the on-screen action is never confusing. I don’t know how the science of the script holds up, from the bends to the sharks, but the movie doesn’t portray the sharks as cunning or malevolent, just a reality of the dire situation.

The performances are effective, in spite of (or maybe due to) nearly every line being delivered through a radio and from behind an emotion-obscuring scuba mask.

Mind you, 47 Meters Down is not a great film — its tacky false ending reeks of a writer unable to decide on a finish. But if you’re looking to suspend your belief and hold your breath for 90 minutes, you could do worse. PG13. 89M. BROADWAY, MILL CREEK. ROUGH NIGHT starts with a quick, disappointing fall out of the party weekend cliché tree, hitting every dick-shaped branch on the way down. An opening flashback to a frat party beer pong tournament establishes that Jess (Scarlett Johansson) and Alice (Jillian Bell) share a common bond through mutual raunchiness, I suppose.

Flash forward: Jess is juggling wedding planning and a run for state senate, and Alice has planned an ambitious Miami bachelorette weekend to reunite them and college friends Blair (Zoë Kravitz) and Frankie (Ilana Glazer).

The characters are introduced as broad stereotypes — Blair is some kind of uptight professional with marital issues, Frankie’s an

insultingly self-indulgent activist type, Alice is the overbearing, jealous best friend. It’s noticeably redundant, and it takes a good while for any of the jokes to land. Things pick up in Miami, where Jess’ Australian friend Pippa (Kate McKinnon) joins the party, to Alice’s consternation.

They proceed to score cocaine, get drunk, perform an uncomfortable choreographed dance in a club and head back to the beachside mansion they’ve rented for the weekend. When the inevitable stripper arrives, he’s quickly dispatched in a mishap and the bachelorette scrum is left to decide what to do.

At the suggestion of Blair’s attorney uncle, the women decide to dispose of the body, and what follows is a series of misadventures as they attempt to cover up their accident. The story, being a mishmash of bachelorette and cover-up tropes, is broadcast widely. The sketches hit and miss, relying mostly on the good timing and talent of the cast.

Kate McKinnon, in particular, shines, her approachable zaniness and brilliant facial expressions garnering the biggest laughs.

Ty Burrell and Demi Moore have a good turn as lecherous neighbors, but I couldn’t help but be bothered by the denouement of that side story, which unfolded with Blair. It didn’t seem worth unpacking the numerous problems with the storytelling.

Much has been made of the film’s reliance on raunch, as though women talking about sex is novel enough to carry a film.

But Rough Night didn’t feel to me like it was resting on its vulgar laurels. There’s an immense amount of talent and a handful of clever and hilarious moments, but, like the overbearing Alice, Rough Night spends too much time plotting the course, not enough enjoying the moments within. R. 101M. BROADWAY, FORTUNA, MILL CREEK.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should under− stand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the prop− erty. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this infor− mation. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, benefi− ciary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a cour− tesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 280− 2832 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.AUCTION.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 051173−CA. Information about post− ponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.

Propagating orchids and catching entomology fever

Female Grappletail.

Story and photos by Anthony Westkamper humbug@northcoastjournal.com

Clever Orchids Today I was discouraged that there were a lot of people down along “my” stretch of the river. They stir up the bugs, making getting good shots difficult. Sure enough, although I saw several dragonflies, none seemed in the mood to pose, so I walked near the outer edge of the riverbed where the trees overshadow the rocks. I was delighted to spot the locally common chatterbox orchids (Epipactis gigantea) blooming in the seeps where I see them every year. A quick movement caught my eye. It was a common hoverfly with something large and bright yellow attached to its back. As I took photos of the insect serially visiting the blossoms it dawned on me.

Orchids sport some of the most highly developed flowers in the plant kingdom.

Some tropical species go so far as to emulate the scent and female genitalia of certain species of moth, inducing the males to mate with the flower thereby carrying pollen from one bloom to another. Whenever I see an orchid in the wild I wonder what its specific adaptation might be.

I have never seen any reference to this particular species of orchid and an insect pollinator. Apparently, the flower glues its pollen producing organ to the back of the bug which then flies from plant to plant carrying the entire mass with it and rubbing against the flower’s appropriate “lady parts.”

All of this brings to mind that the entire evolution of flowers was for plants to take advantage of the mobility of animals, namely insects, to accomplish a more efficient pollinating process. One only has to look at the prodigious pollen production of pines in the spring to see how wasteful the broadcast system is. There would appear to be only one organism even more efficient at pollination than insects: Human pollination works exceedingly well for roses, petunias, tulips and, yes, orchids.

The natural world’s penultimate pollinator may well be people — just like the hoverfly, we’re doing the plant’s work when we propagate them.

Hoverfly with pollinea stuck to its back.

Dragon Hunting On a recent stroll along my favorite section of the Van Duzen River, I saw about a dozen dragonflies of at least five species. I was able to get close enough to get photos of three individuals. Two of those were species I’d never seen before, the spot winged glider and the grappletail.

The latter specimen flew weakly, though her colors were bright, and her wings pristine, leading me to believe she had only hours previously emerged from the river and shucked her larval shell.

I only recently totaled up how many different varieties I’ve encountered in the last seven years of actively photographing and identifying them. In that time I’ve had two county firsts, being the first person to ever report sighting a species in a given county — Emma’s dancer in Del Norte and red rock skimmer in Humboldt. And I’ve got bragging rights for reporting the last dragonfly of the year and the first statewide for the variegated meadow hawk, which is unique for overwintering in our area. It’s great fun and my personal list right now stands at 23 species, all of which are from Humboldt or adjacent counties.

Dragonflies stand out as a gateway drug to the addiction of amateur entomology.

There are relatively few species to learn (about 72 in all of California), they are large, showy insects that are easy to recognize, and are fascinating organisms in their own right.

The study of even such a small, wellknown and much studied group is in no way a “done deal” with everything being already known. Amateurs can and do frequently add to our knowledge about them. l
