Editor: I love Linda Stansberry’s writing and have have learned a lot from many of her previous articles. I have to take issue with “Shot in the Dark: With SB 277 fully in effect, parents explore shrinking options” (Aug. 31) because she expresses a clear anti vaccine bias. I would have entitled a similar article: “A Shot in the Arm: With SB 277 in effect, parents can rest assured that their children won’t catch to preventable infections at school.”​ First off, she calls the law “controversial.” Among pediatricians, those professionals who dedicate their lives to improving the health of children, there is no controversy — this law is considered long overdue. In fact, it was authored by a pediatrician, Richard Pan. I am glad to hear that enrollment in local schools was not greatly impacted. The Legislature and school system have accomplished something my colleagues and I have not been able to do: get reluctant parents to vaccinate. Stansberry quotes a parent who bemoans the fact that medical exemptions are hard to get. This is true. Medical exemptions are not given lightly: They are reserved for children with serious illnesses like cancer, profound immune deficiencies or HIV. Healthy children need to vaccinate so their classmate with leukemia (who can’t vaccinate) does not have to worry about dying from chicken pox contracted at school.

Reportedly there are no medical exemption-granting “sympathetic doctors” in all of Humboldt County. Well, kudos to the medical professionals in our area for following the evidence-based recommendations of our infectious disease experts at the Centers for Disease Control. The statement “Healthy children, free of disease, are denied a free public education” displays a basic ignorance of infectious disease. Most infectious diseases are contagious days to weeks prior to the onset of symptoms. A policy of excluding symptomatic children from school would be a dismal failure. Vaccines are safe and effective. There is no “right” to allow your child to expose others to whooping cough or measles and it is absurd to assert otherwise. Having schoolchildren vaccinated protects all of us, and especially protects the most vulnerable of all — children with cancer or weakened immune systems.

‘Vindicated’ Editor: I am Daren’s aunt. I had a strong, close lifelong relationship with my nephew and

4 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Sept. 14, 2017 • northcoastjournal.com

I loved him dearly (“‘The Hollow Men,’” Sept. 7). For the 20 years he lived in Humboldt County I was his primary point of contact. Daren was a beautiful person with a ready laugh and a warm heart. He never failed to ask how others were doing and to offer a joke or a word of support. I was always amazed that his heart could remain so open and loving given his almost daily experiences of discrimination, oppression and disrespect.

Daren had pride and faith in his gifts.

He identified as a poet. His rights were regularly violated and I am deeply satisfied that he has been vindicated. I just wish it was not at the cost of his life. I would like to send a hearty thank you to the Eureka Rescue Mission which was a safe haven for my nephew. They never turned him away.

Follow Houston Editor: The city of Eureka and Humboldt county government have made many efforts to address homelessness over the years. Though some individuals have been helped, the greater population without homes is still suffering. I consider the American homeless collateral damage of our present economic system. They’ve been driven from the rental market, robbed of their homes by predatory lenders and made unable to sustain themselves and their families in these times of escalating costs and low wages. As one woman told me, “I’m 52 years old. I had a job and a house. I was married and raised my kids. I never thought I would end up like this.”

This humanitarian crisis requires new ideas. Oregon and Washington have pioneered villages in the city limits with “tiny houses,” a kind of detached bedroom for one or two people. Bathroom and kitchen facilities are used communally. It’s a lot like a recreational campground. Other communities are creating sanctuary camps with tents and facilities available. These camps are sanctioned by local government and provide 24-hour security for the residents.

Tacoma, Washington, recently started supplying portable bathroom and washing facilities to existing camps. This is less disruptive and less expensive than breaking up communities and dealing with the health issues of unmet basic human needs.

As I watch the spontaneous response of people helping their neighbors in Houston from the effects of the hurricane, I wonder what is stopping us from providing basic shelter to our neighbors living year after year without (“The Best and Worst of Us,” Sept. 7). If we see “the problem” as insurmountable, simple or innovative solu-

tions may elude us. Collaboration between local agencies and citizens would help all of us in reestablishing a community that works for everyone.

Vote Them Out Editor: Thank you Suzanne Cook for your letter concerning California Senate Bill 562 (Mailbox, Aug. 31). This is such important legislation that would provide all residents of California with “access” to healthcare we all need, minus the co-pays, deductibles and premiums, the cost of which continue to rise without restriction and which demand people choose between paying the rent, buying food, visiting their physician or purchasing their exorbitantly expensive medications.

Recently the executive board of the California Democratic Party endorsed S.B. 562 by a unanimous vote. However, Democratic Assembly Speaker and Rules Committee Chair Anthony Rendon, standing as a protective front for “corporate” Democrats, has refused to co-sponsor this bill and, worse, has shelved and refused to release S.B. 562 to the Assembly committees tasked with the discussion, debate and amending of it. It is their job … and why we elected them. He believes the “no added value” insurance industry deserves a place at the table in this discussion, hence his recent distracting “select committee” move. This select committee will do nothing to move this bill forward and it delays any discussion by the Assembly, which allows the bill to remain shelved, and for corporate Democrats hopefully die. Our local elected Assemblymember Jim Wood is one of those standing behind Mr. Rendon.

Mr. Wood chairs the Assembly Health Committee and should be pushing to move this bill into Assembly committees

for discussions and amendments. To do less allows more people to die due to lack of access. For more information on the contents and benefits of S.B. 562, visit www.healthycalifornia.org. One can also research the financial aspect of this bill by looking up the economic analysis of it by University of Massachusetts-Amherst professor of economics Robert Pollin at www.peri.umass.edu/publication/ item/996-economic-analysis-of-thehealthy-california-single-payer-healthcare-proposal-sb-562.

If an elected official’s actions protect their insurance industry donors rather than their constituents, please call and let them know your thoughts. And the 2018 elections are where one should be expressing their dissatisfaction by voting such legislators out of office.

‘Overlooked’

Humboldt’s cannabis past, its future and where it all went wrong

By Peter Childs

newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

P

ermit me to deliver myself of a considerable amount of pentup feeling regarding the whole cannabis issue.

I’ve seen it all, having lived in SoHum for 45 years. Phase I, the Age of Innocence, when hippies sat naked in the sun with a toke under their skin, thanking God for the wonderful life amidst natural surroundings that we’d somehow been able to find in this still beautiful place.

Under such circumstances we certainly weren’t going to buy herb (which we all smoked); we grew it, and it didn’t take long for us to take some down to our friends in the city; they got fine herb and we got a little money, which we could dearly use. Win-win.

Then Phase II. Somebody swung down the pike in the ‘70s saying, “Pull out the males!” Which we did and sinsemilla made its appearance. The power of the herb skyrocketed and so did the price, which was the watershed moment; the beginning of the madness that now engulfs us. (How enormously ironic that we were the ones who rubbed the bottle!) People started flocking into the hills, not at all for the reasons why the “originals” came but simply for the money, and all the ills associated with the pursuit of money for its own sake came into play, culminating in the current zoo.

Originally there had been nothing but Moms and Pops; now large grows popped up all over the place (the place being our home paradise in the hills), and they came with a full slate of negative impacts, from illegal grading, siltation of streams, discharge of poisons into streams and land, generator noise (truly distressing to those of us who love peace and quiet), lights doing to our night eyes what the generators do to our ears, sucking an inordinate amount of water out of our streams, trashing our roads and on and on and on.

These grows should have been eliminated then and there; they should never have been allowed in “rural residential” areas but there was, aside from blanket (and overall ineffective) raids by CAMP, virtually no enforcement. So people realized they could get away with just about anything

and they grew up a storm. A greenrush (or greedrush).

Then Phase III. There developed a general awareness of the fact that the public had nothing against cannabis and that this was leading to not just overt public acceptance but legalization, which meant that the gold mine would open not just for growers but for a whole new industry — including dispensaries, testing facilities, etc. — as well as local and state governments through the massive fees associated with legalized operations at every level. Naturally, Humboldt County, being situated at the head of the spear, felt obliged to maintain that leadership by setting up a legal framework for this new industry. It was a massive (actually impossible) task, and the board of supervisors, the planning commission and staff are to be congratulated for the enormous amount of work they have put in and continue to put in to the project; it’s a substantial achievement.

But from the start of this process us old farts at HUMMAP have insisted that the way HumCo should handle things would be to eliminate grows over (say) 2,500 square feet and to ensure that the only product we would produce would be that for which we were already world-famous; genuine top-grade organic sungrown Humboldt County sinsemilla, grown by many small farmers; emphatically not by industrial-sized operations, which we realized from bitter experience were far more harmful than helpful to the interests of the people or the land of Humboldt County. Nobody should have been allowed to grow on land that they did not own and on which they did not reside. To this rule there could be exceptions; e.g. there are areas in the county where larger grows could be considered appropriate (so long as they don’t poison the land and make it impossible to convert back to the kind of food production that was so important in the 1930s and could well be again). Let others knock themselves out in this mad circus of harmful commercial activity; let them, if they lack the wit to do otherwise, ruin their rural residential neighborhoods, drain their streams and

6 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Sept. 14, 2017 • northcoastjournal.com

turn their lovely rural counties into money-mad industrial scrambles.

The board heard us out and said, “You make sense.” Then they listened to the next layer of constituents, who wanted to grow big. They said, “Those old hippies are good people and they dream sweet dreams, but they’re not being realistic.

This train is roaring out of the station and if we don’t get on board, we’ll be left behind.” The board said, “You make sense.” Then the people who wanted to grow huge made their sensible case, and the board did what boards generally feel obliged to do since they represent all, not part of their constituents; they compromised, the result being the Commercial Cannabis Land Use Ordinance. So we have a legal framework of sorts and the new industry is trying to take shape.

Which will, in my not particularly humble opinion, lead directly to Phase IV. When the other 40 states snout up to the trough, the basic law of supply and demand comes into play in a big way, the price goes through the floor (it’s already well on the way) and the whole thing collapses. God only knows what Lorillard and Reynolds have been doing in the corridors of Washington, but we can be sure they haven’t sat on their hands. Already there’s a shadow entity patenting cannabis strains, which could be enormously significant and harmful.

I’m reminded of how us kids would put 50 fireflies in a cream jar on top of a barber pole in our bedroom at night, so we’d have a little lighthouse. In the morning, in the cream jar there’d be a bunch of legs and wing casings and one Bad Bug. I think this scene will evolve in much the same way, with a few big players and a small chance of a boutique market surviving where Phase I types can continue to exist.

But I’m not holding my breath; the odds would be much better if HumCo had focused on protecting a strictly mom-andpop system. The passengers who bought a ticket on this train like to think that it’s going to be a smooth ride but I predict otherwise; there will be unforeseen problems ahead on this track. Just as with the logging, fishing and other boom-and-bust

economies, the bottom line is proving to be money, not long-term vision and effective protection of the resource base.

Meanwhile, we “original” hill dwellers weep. The problem grows have not been eliminated; they’ve been legitimized.

Our roads are being trashed and are now downright dangerous to drive. (Aside from the constant stream of big fertilizer trucks, water trucks, etc., the industrial level of employees involved with these grows has tremendously increased car traffic on our narrow dirt roads.) Our creeks and rivers are being drained, our lands polluted.

Directly in what used to be my pristine view there are four large greenhouse grows stacked up on the hillside; four big scars on the hill (care to bet on whether or not the grading was permitted?), much of the graded material is probably now in the creek below and they have roaring fans that, over a mile away, make it sound as though I am back in New York City when I open the sliding glass door of my bedroom at night. Not to mention the grow(s) 90 degrees from there, where there’s a steady generator hum and they’re regularly transporting tanks of water from that property to a different grow scene.

And someone just stole my main toolbox from my barn (never a problem until recently). Our local Facebook page lists 10 incidents in the past month of tires picking up greenhouse screws on the road (and that’s just the ones listed).

We expect little enforcement; there are just too many grows. Unless the county wakes up to the possibilities of doing it with paper rather than brute force; if problem grows can be identified then fines can be levied and liens placed. But it would seem staff is far too busy working on legalization to put much effort into enforcement. And even if substantial action were to be taken along those lines, there are far too many large grows that will be legal under the new rules; industrial operations will be allowed to continue on rural residential lands where, as I’ve already observed, they should never have Continued on page 8 »

been allowed in the first place.

Many of us feel that the county made an enormous (although understandable) mistake in failing to see how sketchy the future of this whole “industry” (which rests entirely upon the artificially high price created by illegality) rather than having the vision and courage to focus on and protect top grade, dispersed, wholly organic mom and pop production, thus maximizing our chances for an economically sustainable and environmentally viable future.

Another thing: In view of my experience working with county government over the last four decades, it’s difficult for me to ignore the substantial feeling on the part not just of officials but also of others, that we shouldn’t be living out here in the hills.

Some environmentalists (ironically our natural allies) think that the very presence of humans on “resource lands” necessarily degrades them (never mind what their cities did to the land on which they sit, how our logged-over hills have improved under our stewardship or our natural right to the pursuit of happiness), and they’ve been a significant force working to harm our interests.

Regarding the official attitude: when United Stand began its work nearly 40 years ago, the chief building official publicly announced that he felt it was his duty to “use the codes as a tool to rid the county of the riffraff.” I think this attitude has improved but it certainly hasn’t disappeared; quite recently former Planning Director Kirk Girard was quoted to me as, when asked directly, “Are you trying to get rid of us?” having replied, “Yes. We’re trying to get you out of there so we can gentrify the county on the Marin/Sonoma model and bring some real money into this county.” So we do occasionally get the feeling that our legitimate concerns are, shall we just say, being overlooked and this whole marijuana issue is an excellent example.

Arcata Plaza shootout leaves officer wounded, suspect dead

By Thadeus Greenson Humboldt State University Police Chief Donn Peterson (left) and Arcata Police Chief Tom Chapman discuss the Sept. 9 officer-involved shooting at a press conference.

T

thad@northcoastjournal.com

Thadeus Greenson

wenty-six-year-old Ervin Eugene Sweat Jr. was wanted on a pair of warrants and facing imminent arrest when he stepped out of a Ford truck and opened fire on police officers, initiating the gunfire exchange that killed him on Sept. 9, Arcata Police Chief Tom Chapman said at a press conference two days later.

During the Sept. 11 press conference, Chapman said Sweat fired at least two shots at the officers from a semi-automatic .40 caliber Smith and Wesson pistol, one

of which struck Humboldt State University Police Officer Louis Altic in the upper thigh. Altic and Arcata Police Officer Matthew O’Donovan returned fire, with all nine of their shots hitting Sweat, who was later pronounced dead at Mad River Community Hospital.

Chapman and UPD Chief Donn Peterson both said Altic is lucky to be alive, noting that the bullet narrowly missed the femoral artery in his right leg. Peterson said a surgeon described it as a “miracle.”

“We all feel very, very fortunate to have

him with us still,” Peterson said of Altic, who has served as an officer for more than a decade, having moved to UPD from the Eureka Police Department a couple years ago.

Chapman said this is the first time a police officer has been shot in Arcata since April 1, 1980, when an officer was wounded shortly before shooting and killing a suspect during a foot chase after an armed robbery. This is also the first time APD has shot and killed a suspect since that incident. (The department had gone 36 years without an officer-involved shooting

before officers wounded a suspect at a gas station last year.)

Witnesses interviewed by the Journal said the Sept. 9 shooting was preceded by a fight, which began with a verbal altercation between a man and a woman out in front of the bars. The situation escalated when the man walked over the hood of the woman’s car, prompting her to yell at him. At that point, the witnesses said, the altercation turned physical as others interContinued on next page »

vened, including one of the man’s friends, who they said pulled a handgun and threatened the woman and her friends.

Police responded to Arcata’s bar row on the Arcata Plaza shortly before 1:30 a.m. to a call of a physical fight, Chapman said, but arrived after it had been broken up or dispersed. As officers investigated, a bystander told them one of the people involved in the fight had brandished a handgun and was now in a blue Ford F-150 parked in front of Toby and Jack’s bar. When officers turned their attention to the truck, Chapman said, Sweat got out of its rear passenger seat. The chief said video footage from the dash camera of a responding patrol car shows Sweat exit the vehicle and immediately level the pistol at police but does not show the actual shooting.

Chapman said all indications at this early stage of the investigation are that Sweat opened fire almost immediately, firing at least two shots. Officers returned fire, fatally wounding Sweat, and then immediately began administering CPR. During the press conference, Chapman said Sweat is from Antioch, Tennessee, but appears to have bounced back and forth a fair amount between there and California.

There are records of local law enforcement contacts with him going back to 2014, Chapman said, later noting that the booking photo sent out with APD’s press release was from a local arrest in 2016.

Chapman declined to opine as to why Sweat allegedly decided to draw his gun on police, but the chief did note that Sweat was a convicted felon in possession of a firearm with two active warrants out for his arrest — one stemming from a firearms possession case out of Santa Barbara County and a no-bail warrant stemming from a local felony evasion case.

“Mr. Sweat was going to go to jail that night,” Chapman said.

There were four other occupants of the Ford truck when Sweat stepped out, but all have been cooperative with the investigation, Chapman said. The chief estimated 50 to 100 people were milling around in front of the bars at the time of the shooting.

Chapman closed the press conference by expressing gratitude to UPD, which routinely offers back up to APD, as Altic was doing Saturday morning.

“This is one of the most … gut-wrenching calls you can get in law enforcement,” he said. “As a chief, getting a call at 2 a.m. to hear an officer is down — I don’t know that I’ll ever forget that moment.”

The shooting is being investigated by the multi-agency county Critical Incident Response Team, with officers from the Eureka Police Department, sheriff’s office, district attorney’s office, Fortuna Police Department and California Highway Patrol participating, along with technicians from the California Department of Justice crime lab.

The investigation’s findings will ultimately be forwarded along to District Attorney Maggie Fleming, who will decide if any of the officers involved acted criminally.

Altic and O’Donovan are both currently on administrative leave, which is standard protocol after critical incidents.

Chapman began the press conference by noting that it was falling on the 16th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

He noted that more than 60 police officers and 300 firefighters lost their lives that day because they chose to run toward danger in an effort to help those in need.

“Louis Altic was shot running toward danger — really, literally running to danger,” Chapman said. l Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor. Reach him at 442-1400, extension 321, or thad@northcoastjournal.com.

Things Stay the Same Stepping off secrecy in Southern Humboldt, Part 2

By Linda Stansberry linda@northcoastjournal.com

C

ody King made a hard decision.

The lanky 30-year-old, born and raised in Honeydew, who came of age when CAMP helicopters still buzzed the hills, told himself there was nothing to fear when members of the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office pulled up to his gate. This was in 2016 and King had a folder full of permitting paperwork. He grabbed it, walked to the gate and opened it wide, allowing the deputies to inspect his greenhouses.

King, whose grow is near Honeydew, is one of the neighbors mentioned in a July letter by Erika “Squeaky” Morlan, published on Southern Humboldt newsblog Redheaded Blackbelt. Morlan accused King and another neighbor (who was not interviewed by the Journal) of converting the once bucolic meadows of the Mattole Valley into an industrial agriculture zone, bringing dust, noise, traffic and crime.

King blames a failed business partnership with Morlan as the trigger for their neighborly dispute; Morlan says it’s more than that. Out of their two accounts, some common truths emerge.

Things have changed. The cannabis industry has moved out of the hills and into plain sight, onto places like the valley floor, where Morlan and others across the county are facing the impacts of suddenly having industrial agriculture scenes as neighbors. They’ve lost a lot: their views, their serenity, their general sense of neighborliness.

And they have gained. The code of silence and complicity is slowly draining from rural Humboldt County, where neighbors used to just have to go along to get along. As disturbing as it is to see open spaces converted to commercial agriculture, Morlan and others unhappy with the scene have tools to address it — numbers to call, forms to fill out, public officials to complain to.

Growers like King have also gained.

While the price per pound has dropped dramatically in recent years, he sees legalization as a positive force for those who are prepared to go big.

“You’re not risking your freedom to guard a greenhouse,” he says, adding that being allowed to expand production has evened out the losses. While Morlan and others bemoan the industrialization of the valley floor, King says he’s trying to be one of the good guys, a good neighbor and a good grower. And if he hadn’t bought the place next to Squeaky’s, someone else would have, probably an outsider.

“I paid $1.25 million for that place, and anyone who’s going to make an offer on it for that price would do the same thing,” he says.

He followed all of the steps, filled out all of the paperwork, put in ADA-compliant bathrooms and an ADA parking lot. He did everything he needed to so when the deputies returned, he could again unlock the gate and invite them inside.

“I’ve been jumping through all the hoops,” he says. “It’s hard because I know growing weed but I don’t know about planning. This day, I’m on the farm two hours, then in Eureka dropping off papers.

Twenty years ago we’d grow it, cut it and sell it on the porch of the Honeydew store.”

Some things have not changed: Old habits die hard. Morlan says King threatened to “wage war” against her if she called the authorities. King portrays it differently, essentially saying he was trying to keep Morlan from rocking the boat.

“There was an incident where there was an attempted robbery,” he says. “She offered to call the sheriff. She was going around ranting and raving. I said, ‘If you get the sheriff’s department out here in Honeydew there’s going to be a war, you’ll be at war with the whole Mattole Valley.’”

Why did he say that?

“That’s the way it is, you know that,” he says. Yeah, I know that. But it can’t be that way forever. l Linda Stansberry is a staff writer at the Journal. Reach her at 442-1400, extension 317, or linda@northcoastjournal.com.

‘Heroin Hilton’ Condemned

T

he city of Eureka condemned three Third Street properties owned by Floyd and Betty Squires on Sept. 8, forcing about 20 people out of their apartments and, in some cases, onto the streets.

Deputy Public Works Director Brian Issa said the city felt the need to take immediate action due to hazardous, unsanitary conditions that posed a danger to residents and the general public. Tenants said they were notified first thing in the morning on Sept. 7 that they had 24 hours to vacate the premises and move all their stuff. Known as the “Heroin Hilton,” the apartment building at 220 Third St. has been the site of several recent drug busts, and neighbors have long complained of constant streams of people coming in and out of the building, along with pervasive drug use in and around the apartments.

“This place has just descended into chaos,” Issa said. “It’s a trap house. On any given day, there are people lying on the floor in the hallway and on the stairs with needles in their arms, feces on the floor.”

Inside the building, a small swarm of flies circled at the entrance before a steep, battered staircase. Upstairs, about half the building’s rooms were boarded up from past enforcement actions. Graffiti lined the walls, and a few cigarette butts and orange syringe caps were scattered on a dingy laminate floor that otherwise looked recently swept. A makeshift tinfoil pipe lay discarded in a corner. A maintenance worker was going door to door to touch base with tenants.

Down the street, Barry Post stood on the sidewalk with a small cart packed with a couple of duffle bags and a box. For five years, he’s called a small one-bedroom apartment in 220 Third St. home. “I took what I needed — what I can carry — and left everything else,” he said, adding that the “Heroin Hilton” housed some drug dealers and was frequented by buyers who stuck around only to shoot up and

nod off in the hallways. But Post said he kept to himself and no one bothered him.

“Floyd Squires saved my ass,” he continued. “I was going to be living in my car.

I had nowhere else to go. I’ve always paid my rent and we’ve had no problems.”

He was frustrated the city chose to condemn the place. The building isn’t much, he said, but it’s shelter.

“This is how Eureka solves its homeless problem? By making more people homeless?” he asked.

Issa said the Squireses knew this action was coming and could have proactively moved tenants to another of their dozens of properties in the city. “Instead, Floyd came in and told everyone, ‘Everything’s fine, not to worry, don’t move,’” he said. “He made it that much harder on people.”

By law, Issa said the Squireses are required to give tenants relocation assistance funds, as well as returns on rent and deposits. But if the couple failed to do so, Issa said, the city planned to have $1,600 available for each living unit in the three properties, as it did when it vacated the Budget Motel last September, but those funds wouldn’t be available until the following Monday, Sept. 11. To receive the funds, tenants have to sign a form agreeing to waive any potential legal action against the city for being displaced.

Being the beginning of the month, many tenants said they had just paid rent for September, leaving them with little leftover and few options for finding shelter for the weekend. Most said their rent was $600 a month.

Out in front of the building, Issa was speaking to a man named James Timmerman, who said he’d been staying with his developmentally delayed stepson for a few days since his stepson became scared by the building’s drug activity. He said he understood the city’s need to take action but wishes tenants had been given more time. As it was, he didn’t have enough time to clean up his stepson’s apartment and worried about the $850 security

Timmerman told Issa that he and his stepson didn’t have anywhere to go. Issa suggested they check into a motel but Timmerman said they didn’t have any money.

“Just go down to the motel, make the reservation and have them call me. I’ll put it on my credit card,” Issa said, giving the man his cell number.

“God bless you all,” Timmerman’s stepson called to the assortment of city officials gathered outside the dilapidated apartment building as he walked to his stepfather’s van.

Eureka City Councilmember Kim Bergel said she was told the city offered all tenants the option of staying in the local Motel 6 until relocation assistance funds became available, but it wasn’t an offer residents were aware of when the Journal

was on site the morning the apartments were shuttered.

The boarding up of the long maligned apartment building is the latest in what appears to be an escalation of the city’s attempts to push its most notorious landlord into compliance, and follows the razing of two Squireses-owned properties — and a very colorful press release — earlier this month. A few days before the Third Street properties were shuttered, the city shut off the water. Issa said the Squireses were $16,000 behind on their bill but paid within 24 hours of the shut off, prompting the city to turn the water back on.

The Squireses told the Journal they’d been given no notice the city was going to condemn the property but otherwise declined to comment for this story.

Humboldt County Arrests, Aug. 2017

“Remember, this is a very low level crime,” Watson says. EPD has made more than 750 arrests that include 647f charges just in 2017. Very few of those — likely only the ones that include other charges, such as parole violations — will actually see court time.

The district attorney’s office estimates that in the 500 to 700 case referrals for 647fs it sees each year, it files charges on fewer than half.

Watson says the majority of the drunk in public arrests his officers take include an 849(b) designation by an officer, meaning the person arrested will be booked in until they sober up, then released without a request for criminal charges.

“It’s more of a community caretaking function,” Watson says. “It’s a constant, daily problem.”

Kevin Robinson, the county’s

former public defender, sees it differently.

People who aren’t technically intoxicated, but who might be having a mental health crisis or disturbing the peace, are arrested “all the time,” he says.

“Clearly, it’s somebody you don’t want to leave on the streets,” Robinson says.

“You can evaluate someone while you detain them. You can deal with the crisis.”

And while few 647f arrests result in charges, every arrest, he says, has a cumulative effect. If a police officer runs your name and pulls up a long rap sheet, he or she is going to treat you differently.

A misdemeanor charge, especially one involving controlled substances, can impact a person’s financial aid, food stamps or immigration status. And the odd person who wants his or her day in court — the college student booked after passing out on the Arcata Plaza and is now facing the loss of a scholarship — has few legal mechanisms to work with.

“As a public defender, you want them to fight it,” Robinson says.

But the idea of spending hours in court for a trial, and possibly losing your job or missing class, makes the decision for most people — they take the offer from the district attorney’s office, plead guilty and add a misdemeanor charge to their records.

While most of these arrests never make it to the courtroom, they take up hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars in public services. The average arrest takes an officer off the streets for an hour to 90 minutes, more if the jail’s staff requires a suspect to be medically cleared at the hospital.

might check the vital signs of an arrestee, determine his pulse is too fast, his pupils too enlarged, or the tell-tale signs of physical withdrawal from alcohol — the shakes, hallucinations, the occasional seizure — are about to kick in, and decide he needs some extra care. That sends the person and the accompanying officer to the hospital emergency room for care and monitoring, a process Chapman says can take four to six hours.

But even excluding hospital visits, Eureka poured as many as 1,125 patrol officer hours into making drunk in public arrests through the first eight months of this year at a cost of roughly $29,800, according to the Journal’s calculations.

For Watson, the impact of addiction and alcoholism on emergency services was brought home in a personal way two years ago when his mother needed to go to the emergency room. His family waited for hours to get her care; many of the rooms that night, the chief found, were taken up by chronic inebriates and people suffering the side effects of drug abuse.

They had to make his mother as comfortable as possible in a waiting room chair and treated her sitting up rather than in a hospital bed.

“I have the utmost respect for people who work in emergency care,” says Watson. “They just didn’t have the space.

When you have a loved one who can’t get proper care, you start thinking about these problems in more depth.”

Compounding the issue of a bottleneck in emergency services, Watson says that occasionally his officers will take someone to the hospital for clearance, clear them, and then have them rejected again by the jail’s medical staff. He says he finds this phenomenon frustrating.

Duane Christian, staff lieutenant at the jail, says this happens because the hospital might have a misconception about what his facility can offer in terms of medical care.

“We have contracted medical through (California Forensic Medical Group),” he told the Journal in an email. “They have certain thresholds for acceptance of inmates when it comes to blood pressure, pulse, blood sugar (if diabetic), etc. … In a lot of cases somebody is refused with, say, a pulse of 150 (which is extremely high) and then when they come back from the hospital it is lower (like 140 or 130) but still above the threshold CFMG is comfortable accepting them. … A hospital would have no problem managing a patient with a pulse of 140 or 130 but CFMG does not have emergency equipment such as a crash cart [at the jail]. They give basic medical care and anything beyond that is done at the hospital.”

Watson also believes that many people

16 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Sept. 14, 2017 • northcoastjournal.com

from surrounding communities who are struggling with mental health and addiction issues wash up in Eureka as they cycle through the jail or county mental health, ultimately landing on EPD’s plate.

“I have a belief that Eureka is a dumping ground for many problem individuals from outlying communities,” he says. “When someone is released, they’re not released back to their county or town of origin.

They’re given bus tickets but that’s not enough.”

In some cases, a person transported to the hospital by ambulance will not be escorted by their arresting officer, which means that when they’re ready to be released to the jail, hospital staff will call the nearest law enforcement agency to transport the arrestee, usually the Eureka Police Department. Watson says this is one of many problems he’s gathering stakeholders to address.

For his part, Chapman says this has been a long-standing bone of contention and affects his officers as well, to a lesser degree, when Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office deputies bring someone in from outlying communities and drop him or her off at Mad River Community Hospital, leaving APD to transport. In addition to the hospital discharges, there are people having mental health crises who ask to be transported to Sempervirens. Sometimes, he says, they change their minds and decide not to go inside. Officers can’t force someone to accept mental health care except in extreme cases, meaning he or she will instead wander off into the streets of Eureka.

“This has been going on forever,” he says. “But it’s not a dump and run. It’s really where we need to have a harder conversation.”

Eureka City Councilmember

Kim Bergel, who did a ride-along with a Eureka police officer shortly before taking office in 2014, says the experience of spending four hours at the St. Joseph Hospital emergency room with a man picked up for public intoxication underscored how pressing this issue is and inspired her now three-year long attempt to create a sobering center in Eureka.

Sobering centers, established or in the works in cities as large as San Diego and as small as Klamath Falls, are generally cheaper, less punitive versions of the jail’s drunk tank. Provided people aren’t violent or in immediate medical distress, officers can bring them there, sign them in and leave them to be monitored by the center’s staff, who check on them every 15 minutes as they sleep it off. The size, scale and organization of such facilities vary. In

San Diego, the center is a large warehouse with easy-to-clean sleeping mats. Klamath Falls’ center, currently under construction, will have eight separate rooms that can be locked and staffed by two treatment professionals.

Dave Henslee, chief of police for Klamath Falls, says he is looking forward to seeing the sobering center come to fruition in 2018. Klamath Falls has roughly the same population as Eureka and Henslee says after he took office he noticed a similar bottleneck of resources due to public intoxication.

“Our holding cell was filled up with people just sleeping,” he says. “Most were habitual offenders. We had just 20 people that owed the city $28,000 in fines.”

Tom Gilbert, CEO of Klamath Basin Behavioral Health, which is overseeing the sobering center project, says the program has been in the works for more than 10 years and affected agencies are anticipating a substantial savings for taxpayers.

“Typically, sobering in the hospital emergency department will run thousands of dollars,” he says. “People can sober in jail but the jails don’t really cherish doing this. They tie up jail space, they vomit, soil themselves. Other things can happen — they can be victimized more easily.”

Sobering centers, especially when staffed by addiction counselors, can also offer a more therapeutic environment for alcoholics and addicts. Some have onsite counseling and access to treatment resources. Bergel’s initial vision for a Eureka center included a built-in incentive to push people toward help — after a person had been admitted to the center three

times, he or she would have an option to either going into treatment or spending a definitive length of time in jail, but overcrowding in the Humboldt County correctional facility means this might not come to pass. On Aug. 1, the state denied the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office’s application for a $17 million grant to add a 52-bed mental health treatment wing to the jail, putting a crimp in Bergel’s plans.

She and other stakeholders have also met with John McManus of Alcohol Drug Care Services, which is gearing up to offer a detox and residential treatment program at the building formerly known as the Multiple Assistance Center, now Waterfront Recovery Services. McManus, who did not return Journal emails for an interview, reportedly expressed interest in adding a sobering center at a later date.

In the meantime, Bergel is resolute. She believes a sobering center like the one set up in a San Diego warehouse that she, Councilmember Heidi Messner and EPD project coordinator Lynette Mullen visited in July, would be easy to implement with relatively low overhead.

“You just need a warehouse, some mats, buckets, towels and bleach,” she says. “After four hours, they can sign themselves out.”

Other details, such as whether the staff on hand would be trained medical experts and whether there would be a risk of liability for the city, are still nebulous. What is clear, as amply evidenced by the recent federal verdict in favor of the family of Daren Borges, who died in a Humboldt County jail sobering cell after overdosing on methamphetamines, is that people

do die from public intoxication. They die in sobering cells, they die on the streets and they die after being taken to the hospital by officers, as was the case with Jeremy Jenkins, who in April of 2016 died shortly after being admitted to St. Joseph Hospital for “acute methamphetamine intoxication.”

“We’re dealing with people that, by virtue of their substance use disorders, are also dealing with a host of medical issues,” says Gilbert, adding he’s done “a lot of homework” on the liability issues. “It’s work to be taken very seriously.”

Support for the center seems universal — former EPD Chief Andrew Mills, Open Door Community Health Centers CEO Herrmann Spetzler and chiefs Watson and Chapman all voiced their enthusiasm.

Many believe it will lessen the resource-intensive issue of policing public intoxication. But it can’t solve everything. Local hospitals, for example, will continue to serve those with problems that can’t be cured by sleeping it off. Human error and the freak nature of major health events cannot completely be eradicated — as well trained as a center’s staff may be, people might still die under their watch.

And a soft place to sleep can’t cure alcoholism or addiction.

Daryl Durham, an Arcata resident who has been picked up for drunk in public charges a total of 12 times by Chapman’s officers, says he’s mostly grateful for the encounters he’s had with the police.

“I can say there’s good cops and there’s bad cops,” he says. “But they have scraped me off the streets when I couldn’t take care of myself and I appreciate it.”

Durham, whose last arrest was on Aug. 24, says he doesn’t always feel safe in jail.

The drunk tank — just a bunch of chairs in front of a television — is OK, but when they put him in a private cell he was worried.

“You kind of feel like you might get forgotten about,” he says. He adds that if treatment were offered in lieu of jail time, most people would go for it.

“A lot of times, the system is set up so they arrest most of the local drunks and they don’t get charged for it,” he says.

“They let them out at 5:45 a.m. right when the liquor store opens.”

When the jail releases people in the early morning hours, the closest place that sells liquor is the Patriot Gas Station, he says, close to the Samoa Bridge. It opens at 6 a.m. l Linda Stansberry is a staff writer for the Journal. Reach her at 442-1400, extension 317, or linda@northcoastjournal.com.

s a child, I wasn’t much for princesses and happy-ever-after fairytales, and most Disney interpretations of princessdom passed me by, so I wasn’t entirely sure how I was going to relate to this musical reinterpretation of multiple Disney princess stories. Fortunately, Redwood Curtain Theatre’s production of Disenchanted provides just enough of the saccharine background for each princess’ newly uncovered subversive sides to really shine.

Presented in the form of a cabaret act, Dennis Giacino’s musical gives each of 10 Disney princess personas the opportunity to puncture the princess myth and reveal what they really want. (Hint: It’s a long way from the “happily ever after” bliss the movies told you it was.) The way Mistress of Ceremonies Snow White (Molly Severdia) and her two sidekicks Cinderella (Jessi Shieman) and Sleeping Beauty (Nanette Voss-Herlihy) tell us, they are not all damsels in distress crying for help, they have no desire to wait around for their princes to come and “all this stuff is driving us out of our freaking princess minds!”

And so the princesses determine that they will regain their sanity by pulling back their sugar-encrusted veils and revealing the reality behind the princess complex (which, incidentally, is the name of a hypothetical perfume the princesses promote during the show — “just a dab behind each ear and you can spend a lifetime as a damsel in distress”).

Each princess’ tale is told in a song with short skits and other (melo)dramatic interludes to keep the flow of the show going.

You’ll never look at Disney’s cinematized princesses the same way again after you

learn why “happily ever after is a major pain in the ass.”

Belle (Julie Angles), for example, having set up house with a beast, spends her life picking up her husband’s poop. Hua Mulan (Tina Toomata) comes out with the reason she might be the only princess without a guy. The Little Mermaid (Angles) seriously regrets her Faustian bargain of trading the seven seas for two legs. Pocahontas (Toomata) journeys from a size 10 to a double D by way of every breast euphemism you can think of. Rapunzel (Angles) is leading the fight for a share of the proceeds from relentless princess merchandizing. Princess Badroulbador (Toomata) is not allowed to drive Aladdin’s magic carpet. And the Princess Who Kissed the Frog (Michelle Purnell) explodes the myth that all princesses are white. (Besides, of course, Pocahontas — Mulan not techincally being a princess.)

In support of the solo story songs, Snow White and her sidekicks take on the roles of back-up singers, hand-puppet operators and prop (and sometimes princess) movers, as well as adding in their own stories.

The cast of Disenchanted is first-rate.

Severdia shines as Snow White, keeping her band of rebellious princesses in line.

Shieman is delightfully ditzy and somewhat saucy as the mini-skirted Cinderella. Voss-Herlihy keeps the audience’s attention on her every move, even as she continually falls asleep. Special credit must go to the quick-change duo of Angles and Toomata — both performers switch seamlessly between characters and really deliver on a range of vocalizations. Purnell is a commanding presence in a role focused on singing — her powerful voice is

Joan Woodcock Insurance Services a good match with her big number.

The ensemble cast works well together, engaging with each other and the audience to draw us into a world where OMFG might or might not stand for “Oh my fairy godmother.” The onstage band — Jonathan Roberto Moreno on piano, Tom Lopes on bass and Matt Estabrook on percussion — do an excellent job setting the scene and creating the backdrop for song styles ranging from blues to burlesque, wistful to operatic, including a sing-off between different sections of the audience.

The costumes — from Pocahontas’ simple deerskin to the multiple overthe-top outfits and wigs sported by Julie Angles — more than meet the high standards we’ve come to expect from Lynnie Horrigan, but the scenic design is missing something. Redwood Curtain’s long, narrow stage is always a challenge but in this production it feels more like a rehearsal space than the “cheap cabaret set” suggested in the program.

Severdia also takes on the role of musical director and, in conjunction with Voss-Herlihy and Shieman — what the program refers to as “Choreography (Way More Interesting).” That’s in contrast with the “Choreography (Mediocre)” attributed to director Clint Rebik.

Rounding out the admirable production crew are Cosme Hernandez–Johnston (light and sound) and Kiana Simmons (stage manager and dresser).

Rebik is largely successful in creating a story arc that works, although the brief tap dancing interludes interrupt the flow somewhat and could probably have been left out. The cast and director do an excellent job in finding the nudge-nudgewink-wink moments in every one of the many innuendos the script delivers.

Redwood Curtain Theatre’s Disenchanted continues Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights through Sept. 30 with a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday, Sept. 24.

A DIY water-powered pig roast

S

ome time ago, my son approached me with the idea of building our own waterwheel-powered rotisserie large enough to spit and roast a whole pig. Every year he joins a group of friends for a get together at an undisclosed location on the Trinity River and this time he wanted to bring something a bit beyond

the usual store-bought bean dip and a bag of chips. The idea — which we’re not the first to try — was just wacky and low tech enough that I figured I’d give it a try.

Using mostly repurposed scrap materials, I only had to buy a clean piece of ⅝-inch cold-rolled steel for the spit itself and Jeremy purchased stainless hardware

for all the places that would contact food. I wanted no toxic galvanizing or cadmium plating anywhere near the guest of honor.

The first day, Jeremy did most of the work, laying out drilling and assembling the main parts of the frame. He promised to return soon to continue on the project. But “life happened” and that was the last I saw of him until the project was finished.

Some of my design criteria were: 1. The distance from fire to spit had to be adjustable.

2. The length of the paddles had to be adjustable to accommodate No. 1.

3. It had to be easy to disassemble for transport and reassemble.

4. It needed enough torque to turn a heavy load, even if it was off balance.

5. I needed to use as many on-hand materials as possible.

Any parts I made had to be possible with the tools I already own (I refused to turn this into another excuse to buy new toys).

Nuts and bolts had to be standardized to minimize the number of tools necessary to assemble and disassemble the rig.

(We finally settled on one socket wrench and an Allen wrench.)

Lastly, getting the pig on and off needed to be fairly easy.

In my mind, the heart of the unit is the pair of bushings I turned from a large piece of brass bar stock I’d been saving for something special. They allow the spit to be positioned at any of seven heights every 3 inches.

The design featured a spit turned by paddles that extended into the river current, and a split-open metal drum to hold the fire and catch any drippings. All this was fit onto a stabilizing frame that we weighed down with a few large rocks.

22 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Sept. 14, 2017 • northcoastjournal.com

As soon as I was done with tapping the final hole, Jeremy’s schedule magically cleared and he came down. We put it together in the garage to assure everything fit properly, labeled everything for easy reassembly, took it apart and hauled it away.

My price for donating my precious scrap materials, machine work and run time on my equipment? I got an invitation to the party. Jeremy and friends made a last-minute search for a whole pig, finally finding one at Cash and Carry.

The day was beautiful and when I arrived the trussed up guest of honor was already rolling over slowly, stuffed full of pineapple, lemons, oranges, parsley and rosemary. I was told it had been brined overnight so in the end it was juicy and extra savory. Jeremy and a friend took turns at the hot work of watching the pig turn and spraying it frequently with a mix of cider vinegar and pineapple juice. (Visit www.northcoastjournal.com. to see the spit in action.) The reactions were priceless as folks kayaking and tubing down the river saw us and figured out what that contraption was.

Seeing as how no one in attendance had ever done anything like this before and the meat thermometer stopped working, there was considerable discussion about how long it was going to take. There was also considerable debate about what the time was and how long it had already been on. In the end, after about 8 hours, it was perfectly done. In no time the pig was carried on its spit up to the tables. The chewy skin was sweet and savory, the meat was ambrosia. There were homemade sauces, all the appropriate condiments and side dishes galore.

I doubt a school of piranha could have disassembled, distributed and devoured it as quickly. l

Setlist

Beast, Please!

By Andy Powell

thesetlist@northcoastjournal.com

Thursday We should be having some relatively warm — yet sane — weather here on the coast this weekend, which is good for any of you festival goers, but if that’s not enough for you, head over to Blue Lake, where it will be a few degrees warmer.

Local blues band the Lost Dogs are on around 6 p.m. and playing for free. In Arcata, Humboldt’s favorite Beatles tribute band Silver Hammer makes a rare appearance at Humboldt Brews. Hey, Humboldt State University students, haven’t seen this band yet? Check ’em out tonight — you’ll recognize more songs than you imagined.

They’ll be on around 9:30 p.m. and are only asking for $5 to get in for this show.

While you’re sleeping through your morning class, you’ll be glad you caught these local heroes.

Friday Today kicks off the recurring annual Beast Please Be Still festival which runs today and tomorrow. Put on by former local Datura Blues member Oryan Peterson-Jones, you’ve got some experimental and mind-expanding music at multiple venues today and tomorrow. Things start off early today at Northtown Coffee at 4 p.m. with Oakland musician Vinnie Byrne along with Eva L’izard and Crowey from Portland. This kickoff of the BPBS festival is free and falls into the experimental folk genre of sorts. Pre-experimental/ post-troubadour Chuck Mayville returns to Gallagher’s in Old Town Eureka at 6 p.m. Chuck’s a good sport and puts up with me encouraging readers to request songs from bands he can’t stand. Such a good sport that I’ll keep it up. Tip Chuck and ask him to play “Escape” by Rupert Holmes. Around the same time, Cadillac Ranch is playing at the Mad River Brewery Tap Room in sunny Blue Lake, also for free.

At 7 p.m. the BPBS festival continues at Blondie’s in Arcata with some classic rock and ’80s covers courtesy of The Gritty Kitties and The Twisted Lickas. It’s a free show but never feel embarrassed to leave a tip for the band. The festival has its last show of the night at The Miniplex starting at 9 p.m. with returning festival artists Die Geister Beschwören joined by Ghoul-

hand and Deep Dark Light. If I remember correctly, all three of these bands played last year’s festival. Just $5 gets you in the door for these “darkwave, ambient, soundscapes.” TroyBoi returns to the Arcata Theatre Lounge tonight after his recent sold-out performance. He’s joined

by Slumberjack for a night of heavy beats that’ll get you moving. Show starts around 9:30 p.m. and with a $25 ticket price.

Saturday

It’s Day One of the North Country Fair happening in and around the Arcata Plaza so go soak up the sun and the sound of talented local musicians playing throughout the day. Local acoustic trio For Folk’s Sake — who have one of the better band names — are up at the Mad River Brewery at 6 p.m. for a free show. The BPBS festival wraps up tonight with the seventh annual Production of (recurring) Dreams. Now here’s the skinny for what happens here.

Akira Kurosawa’s Dreams, which is comprised of eight short bits, plays while eight bands perform, improvising music to go along with what you (and they) are seeing.

It’s a cool concept and has gone off well the past few years. Here’s the lineup: Opossum Sun Trail performing “Sunshine Through The Rain;” Five Minutes Alone performing “The Peach Orchard;” Ghoulhand performing “The Blizzard;” Die Geister Beschwören performing “The Tunnel;” The Gritty Kitties performing “Crows;” Kit Lamb performing “Mount Fuji In Red;” Deep Dark Light performing “The Weeping Demon;” and Crowey with “Village Of The Watermills.” This is all happening at the Sanctuary in Arcata at 7 p.m. for $12. Kingfoot and Absynth Quartet are keeping the fair groove going

at Humboldt Brews at 9 p.m., and $5 gets you into this continuing party. There’s a big show tonight in the Sapphire Palace in the Blue Lake Casino with legendary reggae artists The Wailers, who are stopping by for a 9 p.m. show. Only $25 gets you up close and personal with one of the world’s most well-loved reggae acts. At the same time and just across the casino, local Dead tribute The Miracle Show are hoping you’ll linger around the Wave Lounge during Wailer set breaks to get some of their goodness. They’re playing for free and it’s right by the bar, so make yourself comfortable. Car’s got a boot on it? Out of gas but love The Dead? Stay in Arcata and walk over to The Jam to hear another local Dead band called Rosewater starting around 10 p.m. I’m pretty sure there’s a $10 cover charge for this one and I believe I also heard that there’s a special guest to be announced.

Sunday It’s Day Two of the North Country Fair so do that. Local favorites Michael Franti & Spearhead return to Humboldt tonight to perform at the Van Duzer Theater up on HSU’s campus at 8 p.m. On their Love Out Loud Tour, expect the usual positivity, hopeful optimism and socio-political calls for togetherness. Tickets are $66 but let’s hope there’s a discount for HSU students.

Monday Sedona, Arizona-based singer-songwriter Brandon Decker comes to Arcata with his band decker (I believe the “d” is supposed to be lowercase) to rock the stage at The Jam. The band just recently release its latest album Into the Red, so they’re on the road and supporting the

album across the states. It’s got roots rock, folk rock and a bit of psychedelia thrown in for good measure, and after listening to a few songs I got vague sonic whiffs of a shadow that might linger around a sober Clay Smith and Adam Stephens of Two Gallants. No word on the time or the price of this show, but I was impressed by the music, so if the ticket’s under let’s say $66, I’ll call this one a deal. Show time is probably around 9 p.m. or so.

Tuesday More legends from the reggae world are in town this week. Black Uhuru returns to the North Coast and this time at Humboldt Brews. You’ll want to grab a $25 ticket before they sell out. Local band Irie Rockers start out this 10 p.m. show.

Wednesday Those of you out in the Cream City have a treat tonight courtesy of Inscrutable Rabbit, playing at the Victorian Inn at 7 p.m. tonight. It’s a guitar/mandolin duo comprised of local wavelength rider and mystery of a man Jeff DeMark and stringed-truth teller Marc Jeffares. Pay attention to their shadows and don’t underestimate them. Free show.

All Creatures Great and Small Arcata hosts a few festivals each year to which pretty much the whole community turns out. Revelers stream through the plaza’s four corners to spend the day weaving through the crowds, perusing craft and food booths, twirling to music in the closed-off streets, eating, drinking and lounging on the grass. The most colorful of the lot is upon us this weekend: the 44th annual North Country Fair, brought to you by the Same Old People, happening Sept.

16-17 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days (free). The event celebrates the fall equinox and diversity of the community. This year’s theme is a timely one: Sanctuary For All, sending the message that the festival has always been and continues to be a welcoming and safe space for all beings — human, flora and fauna.

This North Country Fair has plentiful booths, myriad local food delights, kids activities, live music and beer. But what sets it apart from its goodtime counterparts are its signature parades: the All-Species Parade, led by the Northcoast Environmental Center happening Saturday at 1 p.m., where tall puppets, stilt walkers and folks adorned with masks, fur, feather and scales delight spectators of all ages, and the Samba Parade on Sunday at 1 p.m. led

by Samba da Alegria with its rhythmic drumming and hip-shaking dancers.

The festival is a zero-waste event, leading the charge for change in that area. Organizers ask that you bring a reusable cup/bottle for your drinks. And while all creatures are honored and celebrated, pets fare better away from all the excitement. Please leave your dogs at home.

Reviews

IT. Stephen King has a hard time relinquishing creative control of his body of work. He famously hated Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of The Shining, saying it left out the moral overtones of its source material.

In 1997, King tried to rectify this by collaborating on a television miniseries that starred goofy-haired Steven Weber (’90s situation comedy Wings) as Jack Torrance. I’ll let you guess which one the fans consider canon.

On to It. As a King completist who read the novel under the covers by flashlight at a tender age, I feel like I speak for his fan base when I say this story has everything.

The author’s long-running leitmotifs of sinister small towns in Maine and children battling evil forces, 50-plus characters that manage to feel fleshed out and memorable, a hefty dollop of social commentary, a dash of smut and a peppering of magic. Oh yes, and plenty of things to make you check under your bed before you go to sleep.

So, how does all of this translate to film? Well, if you’re a ’90s kid with a clown phobia, you probably blame Tim Curry’s performance in the 1990 miniseries, replayed on shaky VHS tapes at many a sleepover. But while that miniseries managed to get a lot right, cramming in many of the details of the 1,138-page novel and transitioning (clumsily) between the dual timelines of the children and their adult counterparts, Curry’s performance was probably the only thing that saves it from being forgotten. (George Romero was originally attached to direct the miniseries but backed out, so let’s all sigh for what could have been.) King, a cinephile, described it as “ambitious,” in faint but not damning praise. He was probably more generous about It than he was about The Shining — the source text really is a behemoth and a complicated, multi-thematic one at that, tricky to bring faithfully to screen while satisfying King devotees.

So, with all that in mind, if you’re a fan, should you go see the 2017 version of It, a truncated adaptation of the novel that shows only one of the timelines and is set not in the 1950s but the 1980s? Yes. Oh my God, yes.

When I got to the Minor Theater an hour early for the Thursday 10 p.m. sneak peek showing, superfans and college kids had already lined up around the corner.

We clutched ourselves preemptively as the lights dimmed. We shrieked, shook our heads, muttered, “Don’t go in there,” and laughed more than seems decent for a movie that starts with a 6-year-old being pulled into a sewer drain by a supernatural creature that feeds on your greatest fears and croaks in a sweet-sick voice, “Take a balloon, it floats.”

Staying true to the spirit of the novel, if not the letter, helps create depth and humanity in a time when the horror genre seems largely to have devolved into gore porn. Director Andy Muschietti wrests touching, nuanced performances from the seven child actors who make up the Losers’ Club, interweaving the small dramas of early adolescence (unrequited love, bullying, distant parents) with the larger themes of duty, loyalty and heroism.

It was always about the friendship shared by the six boys and one girl who make up the Losers — a bond tested and strengthened as they discover and band together to defeat the evil that lurks beneath their small town. Actor Finn Wolfhard, who plays smartass Richie Tozier in Coke-bottle glasses, adds much of the comic relief with his one-liners, even as Pennywise the Clown, played with sinister, smirking alien style by Swede Bill Skarsgård counterpunches with good old-fashioned jump scares. Jeremy Ray Taylor, who plays chubby new kid Ben Hanscom, elicited “Awws” from the audience as soon as he appeared on screen, and his personal sweetness and love of New Kids on the Block contributed to the beating childhood heart of the film, as well as a late pay-off comedic turn at the very climax. So much is right with this movie that it’s easier to list what went wrong — as Mike, utterly capable child actor Chosen Jacobs is saddled with so much backstory and clunky expository dialogue it is impossible to appreciate his talents.

While initially disappointed that I wouldn’t get to hear the vintage slang and golden era of rock ‘n’ roll King adores, the 1980s ultimately proved to be a solid choice in which to stage the story, the same time period in which I and others eager to see It formed our core phobias.

No doubt future film buffs will point to other mid-teens nostalgia projects, such as Stranger Things, as an inspiration for Muschietti’s creative choices. Clearly,

Me checking in on the Russia investigation. IT we’re in a love affair with the heyday of arcade games and Walkmans. Muschietti’s It benefits from the fertile ground of this nostalgia, just as it reaps the rewards of 20-plus years of accumulated bad clown PR. The fact that the 1980s were a time of ’50s nostalgia — the bullies who attack the Losers are wearing the same style of leather jackets King’s original characters wore in the book — adds some trippy layers.

I may have choked back an unbecoming cheer when the movie closed and I saw the words “Part 1” appear on screen. I’ll be back.

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.

Washed Up

What to say in front of the children JAMES E. HARVEY 1926-2017 Died peacefully at home on Sept 3, following a brief illness. He was 90 years old.

Known to almost everyone as Harvey, he was a native of Buffalo, N.Y. A longtime resident of Humboldt County, Harvey worked for the Eureka City Schools for more than 20 years, most of that time in charge of the Eureka High School auditorium. A man of many talents, Harvey was also a professional magician and stood in for Santa Claus on multiple occasions. Harvey served in the Marines during the Korean War, and was involved with Toys for Tots at its beginning. He also served in the California National Guard and was on the front lines in the ’64 flood. He is survived by his three children, their spouses, two grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

No services or flowers.

Donations welcome to Toys for Tots, Humboldt Hospice or the Salvation Army.

Story and photos by Mike Kelly

O

n a beach somewhere, a colorful blob is washing up and ignorant parents are calling it “a jellyfish” in front of the children, who respond, “That’s not a fish, it’s a cnidarian medusa.”

Any respect for Mom and Dad is forever stained.

Don’t be those parents.

Arm yourself with the following.

Medusae Your classic “jellyfish” looks like a pulsing dome with tentacles, arms or other frilly things hanging off it. It may accurately be called a cnidarian medusa. Or simply call it “a jelly” and you won’t provoke the children.

These animals lead fascinating lives, so carefully ask your little darlings to tell you about them.

Salps Salps are also routinely called jellyfish but they are more closely related to you and your potentially disappointed children than they are to a jelly. Salps are a type of tunicate, which is in the phylum Chordata.

As are we. We all have a notochord (a cartilage skeletal support) at some point in our development.

The biggest species of salp in the world regularly washes up in Humboldt (increasing your chances of disappointing the children when you point and say “jellyfish.”) This biggie salp is called the vagina salp.

The body is a semi-ridged gelatinous tube that gets up to about 12 inches long.

It usually has a pair of dark flaps around the front opening. Your child may know this beast by its official name, Thetys vagina, but probably not. The genus name Thetys is supposedly an alternate spelling of the name of the goddess who is best known as the mother of Achilles. You’ll notice that Thetys does not carry a possessive apostrophe. I’m not sure why it’s so named and I choose not to believe the stuff I read online.

Sometimes salps live as solitary individuals that give birth to chains of linked individuals that give birth to solitary individuals that give birth to chains of linked individuals and on and on. When at sea, you may notice these chains. But they usually break apart in the surf. One small species that washes here occasionally turns the surf and sand purple.

The iffily named vagina salp.

By-the-wind Sailors The official name of this charismatic blue creature is Velella velella. When they wash up by the zillions, it’s probably the most beautiful mass death in the world.

The by-the-wind sailors are in the phylum Cnidaria, which is where the typical jellies are categorized. Each “sailor” is made up of scads of individuals whose combined goals include eating, reproducing and not washing up on the beach. Lucky for us, they screw up the third goal spectacularly every few years around here.

Sea Elephant This animal has other names but I went with the easiest one for kids to accept. They are also known as heteropods or Pterotracheoidea. It is a predatory snail. The ones I’ve seen in Humboldt Bay have a tiny shell containing the guts. It swims around using its gelatinous foot and grabs prey with the buccal mass (mouth) at the end of its gelatinous proboscis (trunk).

Satan’s Testicles The next gelatinous zooplankton to be wary of is the ctenophore. These grapesized balls of clear jelly wash up all the time.

They have rows of cilia, or combs, used for locomotion. These cilia create beautiful colors in the right light. From the phylum Ctenophora, they aren’t related to you in any obvious way.

Ctenophores are also known as comb jellies or sea gooseberries. These names are OK but I’ve started calling them Satan’s testicles in hopes of one day hearing some sweet little child on the beach yell, “Look, Mommy, Satan’s testicles!” So I hope you’ll start calling them that too. No need to credit me. ● Biologist Mike Kelly writes other stuff as M. Sid Kelly on Amazon.

Cannabis Harvests and Preventing Mold

T

is the season that many Humboldt County residents benefit from the bountiful harvests that take place in patient’s medical cannabis gardens. It is important to make sure that the efforts of farmers are respected and proper attention is taken to store cannabis flowers after they have been dried, trimmed, and cured. Proper steps taken after harvest can ensure that cannabis products can be enjoyed for many years to come!

As patients obtain medicine from outdoor gardens it is important to familiarize yourself with the source and agriculture practices that took place around the cannabis product. Was the item grown organically? Have chemical nutrients or pesticides been applied? Was there a proper flushing period? Was mold or mildew an issue during cultivation? It is important to know some of these details before deciding to store cannabis for an extended period.

Patients should always ensure their product is properly dried before sealing it in a glass jar. Jars should keep airflow to a

minimum and be stored in a cool, dark place. Keep temperatures below 77ºF, and keep target humidity between 5963% RH. It is also imperative to avoid direct sunlight! Light is the largest contributor of cannabinoid degradation and can cause a great harvest to turn poor quickly!

When making a decision about safe cannabis always look to a laboratory screening for safety and cannabinoid content. If none are available, consider bringing a sample by HPRC to be lab tested by either SC Labs or Pure Analytics. Patients should also consider purchasing a handheld microscope to further investigate their cannabis flowers (consider 60-100x).

In addition to lab screening, your tools of perception are also very helpful! How does the product smell? Does it smell of

a unique aromatic terpene profile or is it a familiar musty/moldy smell? Visually, is there signs of mold or powdery mildew?

Is the taste coming through with floral or earthy tones, or is the taste offputting?

Are you finding yourself congested or stuffy when using a certain strain? These are some more ideas to consider when making decisions about safe medical cannabis.

At HPRC we provide both indoor and outdoor cultivated cannabis. Our policy is to always safety screen and lab test any cannabis product that is available to our patient base. Our collective has also set up procedures of safe handling, storage, and recall processes. Through these efforts we aim to provide the highest quality medicine possible, safe access, and to empower our patients with information!
