Mary Hana’s Flowers & Gracious Gift Baskets

From left to right: Lily, Timber & Lotus

Meet our neighbor “I have a health food bar next to my ﬂower shop!” says Hana, who graduated

from the American River School of Floral Design. She spent many years in the floral industry and was a haute couture fashion model, too. Hana was inspired to eat healthy foods and learned a holistic approach to plants and the role flowers and essential oils play in our foods. “We grew up in southern California she says. Eventually I lived in the small surf town of Huntington Beach. A health food store there gave me the idea of the Flower Power Sandwich and the dream to someday open my own place. I have done that and have a flower shop in the greenhouse in front of my health food bar on Fourth Street in Eureka. You can order a raspberry smoothie named “Bee-dazzled,” blueberry muffins and — from one mom (with triplets!) to another — healthy food you can trust, with drive through convenience. You can pick up tacos and salads, and bring home a bouquet of flowers all in one drive-through stop!” “Murphy’s is near my house and I purchase organic products there,” says Hana. “Murphy’s carries a mix of everything I need and just about everything a health food store has. I want to do a good thing for the community and holistically tie healthy foods and beneficial flowers together.” At Mary Hana’s you can order a smoothie to go or you can pick up your favorite ingredients at Murphy’s and blend it up at home! Murphy’s has something for every body, even a household with triplets!

A Plea for Animals

Editor: Adara’s mom here. I just finished the article (“Beasts and Children,” March 14), and I think it’s wonderful. I do think the issue is more complicated — animals at no-kill shelters that are kept in cages for extended periods can end up physically damaged, as my mom’s cat was. She has a hunched back and can no longer jump. Fortunately, she found a lap. I cry a little inside to think of the fate of other animals kept in cages that don’t find their lap. Either way, it’s a complex issue that we can hopefully make better every time we speak out, every time someone writes an article, every time someone digs a little deeper. Thank you for giving Adara the opportunity to speak out and participate in your article. Thank you for covering this topic. Any discussion generated on animal welfare is a good one, in my opinion. Opening people’s eyes in the smallest way can lead to profound changes. If your article inspires only one person to adopt an animal from the shelter or donate resources or time, it will have made an immeasurably positive impact. I’m sure it will be more than one. Christina Lewis, Eureka

Cut Bosses, Not Music

Editor: The College of the Redwoods, our community college, is not representing, at all, the will of the community at large (“CR faces the music,” Blog Jammin, March 14). It has become another topheavy institution, prostituting itself to the whims of the cronies serving on its board. To eliminate the programs which actually serve this community is against why community colleges were actually created. Yet, again, CR is cutting one of our most popular and necessary programs in the arts: its music program. We, as community members, are the only people to voice our support for this program. We are the tax base for this college. We can actually have a voice. As the Humboldt Light Opera stated so well, CR is the foundation for many who do go on to amazing careers in the music field and we cannot have this movement foiled. I send out a plea to all residents here who have enjoyed our theatre and music behind our Redwood Curtain, far from San Francisco. We must, en masse, protest

this cutting at CR. The top brass needs to be trimmed, not the academic programs. Virginia Hassrick, Bayside

Leashes, Yes! Editor: We commend Deidre Pike for discussing the damage to marine mammals by dogs running loose on beaches (“Unleashed,” March 7), and we commend the Journal for publicizing this long-standing problem. Another serious result of allowing dogs to run free is that they chase

Good Dog When she sees me Her tail wags It is the best Hello of friendship I have known She does it everyday. She likes to bury her head In my chest I like to lie my head Upon her furry warmth and quick heart We rest. She follows my lead Defends my limbs Coaxes me to play I feed her, house her Brush her snarled clothes It is a bargain. In spirit I have seen My lost and living friends Howl my loss Wag my joy Love keeps its own counsel. I know this ode Is too honey-winged for flight Too plodding to cast shadow Too Monday to be born Yet, I defend its truth as old as rock and fire. — R.J. Hodson

birds. Birds have a very high metabolic rate and have to feed nearly continuously to get enough to stay alive. Migratory birds (sandpipers and sanderlings, ducks and geese) are close to their limits. They need to conserve energy, especially when they first arrive and must recover from long flights without food. All winter they need to spend as much time as they can resting and feeding, using as little energy as possible. In the spring they must store up reserves for both migration and breeding. They also molt then, and feathers are expensive. Birds cannot afford to waste time or energy. When dogs chase birds (or people walk too close), they obviously don’t want to fly. They run, or fly low, only far enough to feel safe. Flying from dogs wastes stored food and takes time away from feeding. We ask people not to let their dogs chase birds, but they answer, “It’s fun for the dogs, and they never can catch them.” Is it fun for the birds? Once we saw a very agitated pair of Canada geese in the surf at Trinidad trying to lead their new goslings from an offshore rock to land, while people were letting their dogs run into the water to go after them. How can people can be so insensitive to other animals? It’s not easy, being a bird. Please, please, dog owners, be considerate of other life and do not let your dogs chase birds. Jim and Virginia Waters, Trinidad

Leashes, No!

Editor: Who wouldn’t be horrified by a dog attacking a baby seal? Deidre Pike begins and ends her article “Unleashed” with vivid stories of dog mayhem (sandwiching a close-up color shot of dog turds). The article seems meant to stoke the sentiment that dogs should be absent or on-leash everywhere. Outdoor recreation is regulated by weighing risks and rewards. Every year, people are swept off North Coast beaches by sneaker waves, yet we are not about to ban people from beaches but hope they are aware of the risks. Yes, dog misdeeds happen, but in 35 years of beach going I’ve only witnessed it once, when someone’s dog attacked mine. I’d be devastated if my dog maimed a seal pup, but I believe the chances are miniscule. I’ve never found a baby seal on a beach, maybe because I don’t frequent beaches like Indian Beach where seals are concentrated. Like all my past dogs, Lila is not an irrepressible predator. She has a solid heel and can be stopped mid-stride if she starts to chase birds. When I add up the

joy of seeing her run full-tilt, chase sticks and charge into the surf, the rewards far outweigh the risks. For Lila and me, being joined by a leash is no fun. Off-leash places are shrinking. Let’s resist that trend by engendering a culture of owner responsibility, intolerance for bad dog behavior, and celebration of the unbridled exuberance of good dogs. Come to McKinleyville’s Hiller Park and see off-leash dogs and their owners happily socializing every day. As part of our social capital, it provides a venue for erstwhile strangers to meet and enjoy something together. Sorry, Arcata and Eureka, you have to drive miles for a free-dog romp. Tom Lisle, McKinleyville

Not Just Beach Issue

Editor: I was so thankful for the article calling attention to the age-old problem of dogs being allowed to roam free, and the nuisance that is to the rest of us. I have noticed that many pet-owners are in denial about the troublesome behaviors of their pets. They don’t notice when their dogs are disturbing people and property, and they ignore the posted signs requiring them to keep their dogs either on a leash or under their control. I live in a rural area and visitors to our neighborhood often bring their dogs, letting them out of the car and not supervising them. The dogs run onto our property to check things out, and are never called to come back, so we are the ones who have to chase them out. The dog owners say such things as “Well, this is the countryside; dogs are allowed to run free in the country.” They’re not considering the obvious fact that we have our own private property, with a garden, and other things we want to protect from what dogs naturally do. I wish that dog owners would face the fact that most people don’t want to have a strange dog jump up onto them, sniff their private parts, bark at them, and other such things. I actually really like dogs, and I could love their dogs if I didn’t feel that we were being mistreated through their owner’s lack of consideration. Jean Damon, McKinleyville

Police, Press Both Crucial

lenge the government, freedom of the press provides a potential check against abuses from government. I’m glad your editor exercised freedom of the press by describing her recent experience with a Eureka police officer. In last week’s Journal, letter writer Aaron Gottschalk (“Editor Just a Jerk?” Mailbox) asks “how is the public supposed to know anything but what your one-sided and subjective reporting and updates describe?” Mr. Gottschalk turns Jefferson’s thinking upside down: The police can easily publish their views or get them broadcast. We only rarely read challenges to the police version of events. The attacks on your editor, worse online than in the letters section, remind me too of Benjamin Franklin’s words: “Those who would trade in their freedom for their protection deserve neither.” The police have a tough job — they run toward problems the rest of us would just as soon run away from. Officers deal constantly with those who are mentally ill, addicted to alcohol or other drugs, or who have just stolen something — I imag-

ine it’s hard to avoid getting an us versus them attitude. I’m grateful to police officers for helping when we are in need of help. Still, it’s important for both police and the general public to carefully watch the boundary between authority and freedom. I think that’s what the Journal‘s editor was doing, and I’m grateful to her for playing her part in protecting our freedoms. It seems more and more Americans have forgotten the origins of the United States. We were founded by immigrants to North America who staged a revolution against the Crown, which claimed its authority came from God. It’s tempting and dangerous to forget that. Mitch Trachtenberg, Trinidad

Be Fair on Fire

Editor: I would like to respond to the two letters (“Show Some Remorse,” Mailbox, March 14, “Fire Wasn’t Trivial,” Mailbox, March 7) the Journal has published recently about the character of Barry Evans and Louisa Rogers and their story

dirt done cheap Royal gold mendo mix $1oo per cubic yard 6 North Coast Journal • Thursday, March 21, 2013 • northcoastjournal.com

(“The Fireball” Feb. 21). Barry and Louisa are friends of mine. I met with Barry shortly after the wild-land fire had occurred. He was really shaken up about what had happened but had no regrets about alerting the authorities because they had been so worried about the safety of others. Barry and Louisa could have behaved differently in how they dealt with the wildfire. They could have run and hid, they could have lied and blamed the stove and then sued the manufacturer or they could have sued the government for “improper maintenance of a wildlife area.” Instead they did the right thing. They alerted the authorities and fully took responsibility for what had happened, and when they got the bill they paid it. What could be more honorable? Charles Davy, Bayside

Picketing for Help St. Joe’s nurses want aides restored, other cuts reversed By Heidi Walters

newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

ore than a hundred protesting nurses, their families and friends filled up two blocks of sidewalk in front of St. Joseph Hospital last Wednesday evening as rush-hour traffic raced by on Harrison Avenue. Most of them wore red — the color of the California Nurses Association — and hoisted red-and-white signs: “RNs picketing for patient care.” “Patients not profits.” “Safe staffing now!” “Some cuts don’t heal.” Every time a passing car honked at them, they responded with wild cheers.

That same evening, nurses picketed and held candlelight vigils outside three other St. Joseph Health System hospitals in California — in Petaluma, Apple Valley and Santa Rosa — where new union contracts are being negotiated. The CNA represents all but the nurses at Santa Rosa Memorial, who have an independent Staff Nurses Association. The unions together represent more than 2,000 nurses, according to a CNA news release. It said that at each hospital, “managers have taken a hard line in opposition to proposals made by RNs that the nurses say would significantly improve patient safety.”

The nurses say that cuts in support staff are leaving them feeling overworked and tired. They want the staff restored. In Eureka, where nurses are bargaining for their fourth contract since they unionized 10 years ago, there is also the matter of the “doc-on-a-stick.” That’s a video screen on a pole that a nurse wheels into the patient’s room, so a doctor from afar can videoconference in to consult with a

patient with the nurse’s help. The hospital is using one of these for acute and chronic kidney patients. It’s impersonal, accused another CNA news release, and takes up too much of a nurse’s time. In a statement released by the hospital, Carol Reeder, chief nursing officer, praised the hospital’s hardworking nurses and affirmed their right to picket. But continued on next page

continued from previous page she accused the nurses’ unions of falsely claiming that the pickets were about patient safety in order to “apply pressure on our hospitals when negotiating a new labor contract.” The hospital would never compromise patients’ safety, she said. However, she said, the “looming implementation of changes in federal health care reform legislation, diminishing reimbursements for care and difficult economic times” had forced the hospital to cut expenses and reinvest revenues into such things as new technology and the new $145-million patient-care facility opened last year. The nurses want one nurses’ aide for every eight patients on the day shift on some floors, and one for every 10 patients on the night shift (the ratio for both now is one per 20). They want extra staffing to be determined by how sick patients are, not by budget grids. They want more nurses kept on call. They want an extra nurse on shift to admit patients to the emergency room. They want the night shift lift team — of at least two people — restored. And they want St. Joseph to talk with them, as they say the contract requires, before introducing new technology like the “doc-on-a-stick.” St. Joseph’s statement said it was eager to continue bargaining but didn’t outline any specific counterproposals. Nurses contend St. Joseph is simply offering the status quo. The current contract expired Jan. 31. Susan Johnson, a registered nurse on the union bargaining team in Eureka, said St. Joseph Health System has enough resources to put more people on each shift. “On the last tax return we can see — in 2010 — in Eureka, St. Joseph Hospital’s top five administrators made $2.5 million,” she said. “In 2010, Joe Mark, the [former] CEO, made $640,000. Why can’t they just take 10 percent off the top?” The nurses, Johnson said, aren’t asking for higher wages. They’re asking for the hospital to re-examine where it spends money. “What we’re asking for is help,” she said. Johnson has been at St. Joseph Hospital 28 years. She’s on the Professional Practice Committee at the hospital — made up of bedside nurses working to solve patient safety issues. Recent layoffs — including 62 last year — have decimated the ranks of support staff, everything from night-shift lift teams (to lift heavy patients) to nurses’ aides, housekeepers, break nurses and receptionists, said Johnson.

“If you don’t have lift teams, the nurses have to use the equipment,” she said. “It takes more than one person to use the equipment. So you have to find three or four other nurses to help you.” Nurses also have to strip beds, now that housekeeping staff have been reduced. “We’re not above stripping beds, but it just takes us away from taking care of our patients,” Johnson said. Nurses’ aides have been reduced. The hospital is placing fewer break nurses on call. And charge nurses lately are being assigned regular patients, said Johnson. The union has filed a grievance over that. “All floors have a charge nurse,” Johnson said. “The charge nurse has to know what’s happening with each patient. She’s the most senior, most experienced nurse, and is there to help the newer nurses. She’s a resource person, the go-between for the physicians, helping them get the things they need. And in a lot of units they’re also the secretary.” The nurses, who work 12 ½-hour shifts, often end up skipping lunch and breaks because there’s no one to watch their patients, said Johnson. And the doc-on-a-stick? What don’t the nurses like about that — besides, as Johnson points out, the hospital’s not clearing the new technology with the union before bringing it in? (They’ve filed a grievance over that, too.) Kathryn Donahue, an RN in the critical care areas of the hospital and the CNA shop steward, said she refuses to work with it. She’s been at the hospital 36 years.

WITH THIS TELEHEALTH UNIT, A DOCTOR FROM AFAR CAN INTERACT WITH PATIENT AND NURSE PRIVATELY AND EVEN LISTEN TO THE PATIENT WITH A STETHOSCOPE.

“It’s like a corporate doctor in a box,” she said. “The doctor can’t touch or feel them. It’s very impersonal.” In an emailed statement, St. Joseph Hospital’s chief medical officer, Dr. Matthew Miller, said the hospital is actively recruiting for another nephrologist after two departed. The telehealth technology “ensures this specialty care remains available to our patients and our community right now and into the future,” he said. The hospital is using two nephrologists within the St. Joseph Health System — one from Santa Rosa and the other from Petaluma. A third physician from Queen of the Valley Hospital will be added soon, he said. Telehealth is quickly growing across the country, he added. On Monday, by phone, Dr. Allen Mathew of Redwood Renal Associates in Eureka agreed telemedicine is increasingly common — and he supports it. Far-flung, rural places like Humboldt County, where it’s hard to lure specialists, need it. And it offers benefits that at first might sound counterintuitive. Mathew is the lone nephrologist now from Grants Pass to Ukiah and Eureka to Redding. He had a partner, who left for Montana. Another nephrologist retired. He has 800 patients — 100 kidney transplant patients, 100 on dialysis at two clinics (in McKinleyville and Eureka), and 600 in various stages of kidney, cardio-renal and other complex illnesses. It’s not physically possible for him to also take care of the hospital’s nephrology inpatients. Yes, he said, the doc-on-a-stick might take more of the nurses’ time. But some of that time, he said, might be better quality nurse-doctor-patient time than they’ve known in recent years. “Once upon a time, the nurses and the physicians actually worked together to take care of patients,” he said. But, he said, nurses have increasingly been redirected from personal interaction with the physicians into doing computer tasks. The most they might interact with a doctor is on the phone. With the doc-ona-stick, everyone can see each other and they’re together in the room. “Telemedicine brings the nurses back into clinical medicine, makes them a valuable part of the team,” he said. “It’s a return to old-fashioned medicine.” The key, he said, at least for chronic patients, is that the teledoctors be kept consistent — not a random new doctor every day. For the patients’ sake, it’s important to have a doctor who knows their background. •

FISHERIES, HEALTH, RECREATION / BY HEIDI WALTERS / MARCH 15, 6:05 P.M.

Mussels Cleared for Eatin’

You’ve gotta be careful with those wily bivalve mollusks. Sometimes the tasty filter feeders are packed with enough toxins to — worst cases — make you tingle, burn, talk funny, choke, fall over and even die. That’s why the California Department of Public Health routinely sets quarantines on sport-harvested bivalve shelfish such as clams, scallops and mussels, during times when they carry heavy levels of toxins. For mussels, the quarantine generally runs May 1 through Oct. 31. (The quarantine does not apply to commercially harvested shellfish, which are subject to mandatory testing.) And when the toxin levels have decreased to non-dangerous levels, the quarantines are lifted and the public health warnings dropped. Well, it’s been a long, long wait for recreational shellfish afficionados — last year, Public Health extended the mussel quarantine and added clams and scallops to the avoid-list. Now, at long last, the quarantine has been lifted in Humboldt County and Del Norte County, says a news release from Public Health:

Recent testing shows levels of paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) toxins have declined to safe or undetectable levels. But note: Marin County bivalves are still not safe, and the quarantine remains in place for them there. The news release is on our website. ● LAW / BY HEIDI WALTERS / MARCH 14, 10:48 A.M.

Prison Isolation Case in Court Oral arguments begin at 2 p.m. today in U.S. District Court in Oakland in the Pelican Bay State Prison solitary confinement case. Ruiz v. Brown, filed by the Center for Constitutional Rights last year on behalf of prisoners, alleges that long-term confinement of prisoners inside “secure housing units” (SHU) “is inhumane and debilitating” and psychologically damaging. Some prisoners have been held nearly three decades in these small, windowless cells, where according to the Center they are alone about 23 hours a day — and sometimes 24 hours a day — are denied phonecalls and contact visits, and are served spoiled food and infrequent medical care. According to a previous news release from the Center: More than 500 Pelican Bay SHU prisoners have been isolated under these conditions for over 10 years, more than 200 of them for over 15 years; and 78 have been isolated in the SHU for more than 20 years. The suit also alleges the use of inadequate, unfair criteria for imposing solitary confinement upon a prisoner (gang membership seems to figure high on the list).

The abuses and torture alleged by prisoners and their advocates became national news in 2011 when prisoners at Pelican Bay staged a hunger strike. Soon, prisoners elsewhere in the state and country began hunger striking. See our site for links to the second amended complaint, as well as previous Journal coverage of the strike and the lawsuit. ● CONTEST, HOLIDAYS / BY HEIDI WALTERS / MARCH 13, 4:42 P.M.

Eureka SciFi Writer Wins Stephen Sottong, who lives in Eureka, will be whooping it up this April with other winners in the 29th Annual L. Ron Hubbard Writers & Illustrators Of The Future Contest’s big ceremony in Hollywood. No, he does not have to join the Scientologists to be honored, Sottong said by phone today. “They do try and create a firewall between the contest and Scientology,” he said. Whew. It is, in fact, a most prestigious contest, he said, that has made some people’s careers. The ceremony draws bigshots, according to a news release shot out today announcing the ceremony in April “at the famed Wilshire Ebell Theatre”: “Participating in the ceremony will be best-selling authors Kevin J. Anderson (Dune prequels), Larry Niven (Ringworld), Jerry Pournelle (A Mote in God’s Eye), Tim Powers (On Stranger Tides, which Pirates of the Caribbean IV was based on) and Robert Sawyer, referred to as Canada’s Dean of Science Fiction; as well as award winning artists Cliff Nielsen (Narnia book covers), Larry Elmore (Dungeons & Dragons book covers), Steven Hickman (over 400 book covers), who will all serve as presenters.” Sottong writes science fiction — has been doing so since he was a kid soaking up the tales of Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Ursula K. Le Guin and the like. But he was an engineer first, and then an engineering librarian at Cal State Los Angeles for 10 years. Ten years ago, he and his wife, Joy Thomas — a libriarian at Cal State Long Beach — retired and moved to Eureka. Thomas is a beekeeper. Sottong helps, and in fact was on the cover of the Times-Standard March 8 dealing with a swarm (the paper spelled his name wrong). He also has a blog.

Sottong’s stories have appeared in local publications, including Humboldt State’s Toyon. And he’s entered L. Ron’s contest before, but this is the first time he’s won. The way the contest works, each quarter three winners are chosen — first, second and third each in writing and illustration. Sottong won third place in the first quarter of 2012. The first place winners will all compete for a grand prize. But third place ain’t bad — Sottong was awarded $500 and his story will be published in the 29th volume of winners, out this April. His winning story is a 15,000-word novelette set “far, far in the future.” “It’s basically a buddy fiction story,” he said. “It’s about two guys who are doing the initial explorations of planets. It’s about the difficulties of exploring unknown planets and the problems they get into, and it goes through various planets and various scenarios.” There’s an interplanetary government system in place. The two main characters — 40-ish Aiden and 20-something Lester — explore eight unnamed planets. They work for an outfit called Planetary Scouts. Aiden’s breaking new-recruit Lester in. “It’s an adventure story,” said Sottong. For the news release, see our website. ● ECONOMY / BY CARRIE PEYTON DAHLBERG / MARCH 13, 3:11 P.M.

For the Love of Bowling A tale for beginners By Jennifer Savage

A BOWLING BALL AWAITS IN THE BALL RETURN AT HARBOR LANES. PHOTO BY JENNIFER SAVAGE

12 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 2013 • northcoastjournal.com

o-opting blue collar culture in the name of irony is nothing new. Head up to Portland or over to Brooklyn and you’ll find numerous bowling alleys brimming with floppy-haired 20-somethings striking poses in carefully wound scarves and too-small cardigans. In these parts, things are — unsurprisingly — different. We laugh without inhibition. We are sincere in our appreciation of inexpensive, all-ages entertainment. In Humboldt, it turns out, we still bowl just for fun.

E&O Bowl So the night ended around 11 p.m. with tattooed butts in the bathroom. Things started on a more conventional note, however, with drinks and a bowl of chili at the Jambalaya. We mentioned to our bartender, Colleen Terry, that we were heading out to the Blue Lake bowling alley. She lit up. “I used to bowl every week — E&O is the best!” Intrigued, we hit her up for some tips. “You have to know how to score your own card,” Terry said, as E&O doesn’t do digital, “which is awesome.” “How do you know what ball to pick?” I asked. “You should go as heavy as you can go,” she advised. “But how do you know?” Terry lifted her hands as if picking up a bowling ball. “You know,” she said. “And do some practice frames. Oh, and don’t

wear thumb rings! I did that once. It wasn’t good.” Thus informed, nine of us set out east for E&O. (People refer to the bowling alley as being in Blue Lake, but technically it’s in Glendale with a McKinleyville postal address.) E&O sits next to Murphy’s market and not much else. Walk in and to the right is the bar, to the left are the lanes, in the back stands a jukebox, an air hockey table and some arcade games. Centrally located is your shoe rental and a row of pool tables, which were dominated by kids shoulder-high to me who knocked balls into pockets like they’d been born to it. When I’d phoned to ask about coming in, the woman who answered called me “hon.” The place is timeless, which is what I think we call places that appear to be almost exactly the same as when they first opened decades prior. Important note: Somewhere in our house, despite my decluttering efforts, a 1970s-era bowling shirt full of patches and pins is taking up space. That night at the E&O, my husband relived some of his former glory days. Not that the rest of us (and by “us,” I mean the people who were “not me”) weren’t solid, too. But at some point, we decided to play teams and faced the problem of an odd number of players. The solution: Make Bobby play on both teams. “Our Bobby is better than your Bobby,” our friend Matthew Marshall crowed a few times. Bobby balanced things out, totaling

way, has some good stuff (Tom Petty, ZZ Top) and some bad stuff (Mötley Crüe). It also has a high percentage of pop/hiphop/top hits compilations. I am unsure how the music was curated, but hey, when you can hear “Cheap Sunglasses” followed by “Hey, Ya,” it’s all right all right all right. “Georgia bands are dominating the jukebox!” enthused fellow bowler Claire Reynolds, and sure enough, the Deep South vibe continued as someone in the bowling alley actually paid for and picked out, “Free Bird.” So, yeah. The young and beautiful people next to us didn’t seem fazed by the music one way or another. I was surprised by them, though, since I hadn’t expected to see anyone younger than 35 unless they were dragged along by their parents. I asked Ysi Southard, 21, what was up. Did they come here often? “About once a week,” Southard said. “It’s the only thing to do as far as activities for a lot of my friends who are underage.” It’s really hard to get everyone out to E&O, she continued, “but everyone always has fun when they do.” Jeff Kinzer, 31, was more direct with his disdain for my mistaken impression that only middle-aged folks and up would populate the lanes. “Bowling is for everyone!” Not everyone so eagerly claims the game, however. When I first asked new friend Matthew if he bowled much, he hedged, but finally admitted he owned his own bowling shoes. In my book, that makes him bona fide. So I asked him for some advice. “Rule number one,” he said, “bowl straight.” “What do you mean?” I interrupted. “Like not into the gutters?” This seemed a little too dumbed-down. “Like, don’t prance around and act

131 for their team and 135 for ours. Unfortunately for him, anchoring both teams and having to keep score meant he had no time to pick out songs on the jukebox or order drinks. Instead, he had to keep tracking down his errant teammates: “Hey! It’s your turn!” Lesson learned: Sometimes it’s better to be third best. Handing out shoes — and advice when asked — was Sean Buskirk, who’s worked for E&O for eight years now. Originally from Eureka, Buskirk gave us the brief overview of the business. “We get a lot of college kids, families on the weekends. Things are pretty steady in the winter. Summers are slow. Kind of took a dive for a while, but we’ve been busier lately.” What should first-timers know before showing up? “Call ahead to make a reservation, have cash on hand because we don’t take cards and neither does the bar, and be prepared to have a good time.” “Do people make a lot of Big Lebowski references?” I asked. Buskirk sighed. “Yes.” Before this evening, my E&O experiences had been limited to the annual Arcata Eye Ball soirée, when “Arcata hippies” would take over the joint to the consternation of the bar’s regulars. It was those regulars who filled my imagination when I pictured what we would be getting ourselves into. Think crusty. Think grizzled. Think cranky. “So it’s more hickster than hipster?” my pal Jessica Hall asked when I described my view of the place. Exactly. Except ● I was wrong! Oh, sure, a fellow or two could’ve been described fairly as “rough.” But the truth was, the patrons didn’t have all that much in common on the surface other than an enjoyment of throwing balls at pins and an enthusiastic response when I put “American Girl” on the jukebox.

continued from page 13 goofy,” he clarified. “Just bowl.” Oh, OK. Got it. “Next rule?” Matthew looked square in my eyes. “Rule number two: Stop bowling stupid.” I wish I could say that my game immediately improved. It did not. But the fun times escalated unexpectedly with, er, a trip to the bathroom. I started to open the door only to have it bash into a group of giggling girls. I could neither enter nor make out what was happening, so I retreated to the bar, then bowled another frame before skipping back up to the loo. This time, the bathroom was empty, so I ducked into a stall, one which, I discovered, had no latch. This was a problem when moments later the posse of women returned and one of them pulled open the door before I could holler, “Hey!” She immediately slammed it and collapsed into her friends. “Oh my God, it’s that same girl! She must think we’re trying to assault her!” she laughed. I exited the stall, washed my hands and confronted the guffawing foursome. They explained that they were buying temporary tattoos from the vending machine and applying them to their asses, then taking photos to send their boyfriends. “This is great,” I enthused. “By the way, I’m writing a story for the North Coast Journal … “ Screams and laughter. “You cannot put us in the paper!” And then, “Hey, are you Jen Savage from Surfrider?” “Um, yes.” “I’ve been admiring what you do for years!” “Well, thanks. I am admiring what you are doing right now.” “You should totally do a tattoo and take photos with us!”

Hmmm. “If I do, I have to write about it.” Screams and laughter. “You’re only 50 cents away!” And that is how Claire ended up standing on the sink of the E&O bathroom documenting four temporarily tattooed booties with one trampstamped-for-the-moment me. Lesson learned: There’s more than one way to win at the lanes.

bowling, I thought, and called up my friend Peri Escarda. She grew up in Eureka, right across from what was then Broadway Lanes — which should have prepared me for the drubbing I was about to take. Also along, Peri’s daughter Dezi, 14, a dancer who hadn’t bowled before. My own memories of Harbor Lanes consisted of attending children’s birthday parties when my kids attended Ridgewood Elementary, of hosting a birthday party there when my son turned 6 — we still have the signed token bowling pin — and walking in shortly after 9/11 to see T-shirts for sale adorned with Osama bin Laden in crosshairs. Those are long gone, but bowling supplies can be found in the Harbor Lanes’ Pro Shop, one of the details that sets the Eureka venue apart from its Glendale cousin. Additional amenities include taking credit/debit cards, a diner and a photo booth — but no air hockey. We walked up to the “control counter” and asked for shoes. They were provided. We gathered them up and walked toward the steps leading down to the lanes. “Where are you going?” the clerk called, laughing. “We don’t know what we’re doing,” I stated the obvious. “Well, you’ll need a lane,” he drawled. “And I can give you 25 and 26 for free.” “Wow, really?” I said. He laughed again. “Yeah, but we only have 24 lanes!” Ha. Eventually we were given a “light” ball, continued on next page northcoastjournal.com • NORTH COAST JOURNAL • THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 2013

Remember this: The monitor still showed scores from the previous game’s players. I cleared the screen, set us up, got going. Peri immediately knocked down nine of the 10 pins on her first roll.

ver the years I have walked as much of the Humboldt County coast as possible. The extraordinary wild and windy Lost Coast is the equal of any coastal walk I have taken anywhere in the world. It combines solitude with stunning landscape and incredible intertidal shoreline. Not far behind is the Carruthers Cove to Skunk Cabbage Trail via Gold Bluffs Beach walk. And then there are the miles and miles of unbroken beaches past the lagoons, the more populated and recognized destinations like Clam Beach, Mad River Beach and Centerville Beach, and our forgotten gems like the South Jetty on to Table Bluff and the mouth of the Eel River. With a little planning, there are countless opportunities to enjoy a day on the California Coastal Trail. I spoke with Emily Sinkhorn, who works

for the Redwood Community Action Agency and has been involved in a number of California Coastal Trail projects, about sections that I may have bypassed or that illustrate some of the gaps in the trail going south from Arcata. I asked the same question of Aldaron Laird, a local environmental planner who has surveyed every inch of Humboldt Bay. And the Coastal Conservancy’s Peter Jarausch. They all suggested that I walk south from Old Town in Eureka to Fields Landing and explore the North Coast Railroad Authority (NCRA) railroad rightof-way north and south from the Tompkins Hill Road underpass. I added the South Jetty to the itinerary, since it has been years since my last visit. The Eureka to southern Humboldt Bay passage represents one of the more significant gaps in the Humboldt County portion of the coastal trail. Like

the primary strand of the proposed Arcata to Eureka coastal trail, it relies heavily on a deteriorating right-of-way and the cooperation and flexibility of the NCRA. In my efforts to recruit a walking partner, I felt that full disclosure was necessary. “This is uncharted territory for me,” I confessed. Protective clothing? Clippers? Machete? Beats me. We could probably get a bite to eat at the Loleta Bakery. We’ll be gone all day. At this point, there was only one hand still up; my faithful compatriot in many projects, Dennis. We planted one car in King Salmon to avoid the extra mileage required to retrace our steps. It had been a clear, crisp night, and only as we positioned the second car in Old Town was the sun beginning to lift the temperature. We passed the familiar landmarks of the small boat basin and the “balloon track” and the Schmidbauer Lumber facility. We paused to watch a river of wood chips flooding into an immense barge from a towering system of conveyors. Later we would see the laden barge crossing the bar from the vantage point of the South Jetty. As we proceeded south, we entered the netherworld of the Eureka Marsh (formerly known as the Palco Marsh). This half mile DMZ is littered with the detritus of broken dreams and the hard life on society’s margins. But once you cross the parking area behind the Bayshore Mall, it is like you have landed in Oz. The paved 1.5 mile Elk River Hikshari’ Trail begins at a first class trailhead, complete with bathrooms and parking, at the west end of Truesdale Street. The trail, which was opened in June 2012, offers a unique view of the bay until it curves southeast along Elk River. It was gratifying to see that stretch of trail so well used, and it gives me hope that money the City of Eureka has allocated for extension of the trail through the Eureka Marsh will result in its resurrection, too. We left the shiny new trail for the more primitive NCRA railroad right-of-way as it crossed the Elk River and paralleled the bay shore all the way to the PG&E generating plant. Following a rough trail through two open gates, we were deposited in Humboldt County’s little Venice, the water-logged community of King Salmon. King Salmon, at three feet above sea level, was constructed in 1940 by dredging boat channels from a bare sand spit and the mud that was once the site of Humboldt City, the short-lived first settlement on the bay founded by H.H. Buhne in 1850. With its canals and easy access to the bay, King Salmon was touted as a haven for fishermen from all over the United States (hence the street names of Herring, Sole, Cod, Perch, Halibut, and Crab). That dream has never been fully realized. More likely, King Salmon will be among the first casualties of sea level rise. Dennis and I enjoyed the panoramic view of the bay from the short climb up Buhne Point, and drank hot chai at the Boat House Espresso

Bar before we reclaimed the car and headed on south. Our brief foray into King Salmon served as a reminder that the California Coastal Trail is routed through and around history: The lighthouses at Punta Gorda, Cape Mendocino and Trinidad, the wagon route along the beach south of Centerville, the old Hammond Railroad used to ferry redwood logs to the mills on Humboldt Bay (now the Hammond Trail), and the mining at Gold Bluffs. We investigated the railroad right-of-way that shares an underpass with Tompkins Hill Road, looking for a primitive path either direction. A few deer tracks, a derelict RV and flourishing impenetrable undergrowth were all we found. Life felt too short to take this on. We drove on south past the College of the Redwoods, trying to decipher the location of the suggested coastal trail route. There were a few hints here and there. After a Loleta Bakery lunch and some purchases at the Loleta Meat Market (enough to make sure we remained neutral in the recent controversy), we drove over Table Bluff and down to South Spit. With its unexpected dips and holes, the drive to the jetty was not that much faster than walking. We parked. We walked along the breakwater and again turned south. What an amazing winter day. There was real warmth in the air. The seas were flat and the air calm. And the beach was amazingly desolate for being so nice. This, too, was considered a strand of the California Coastal Trail, and it continued down to the mouth of the Eel and beyond. So was Copenhagen Road to Loleta and beyond. The coastal trail in this area is not unlike the top of a frayed rope, with multiple options each with its own problems — overgrowth, excessive and dangerous traffic, impassable water crossings and private land, to note a few. As we headed home, I couldn’t help but remember Emily Sinkhorn’s assessment of the California Coastal Trail in Humboldt County. “It is really complete in the north and the south [of the county] but it is the connecting between communities that must be the focus now.” Solutions moving forward, she continued, “will happen through collaboration.” With the exhaustion of Prop 84 (2006) bond resources, partnerships and local funding support will be key. We have a community asset that is within reach of being extraordinary. It has been more than four decades since the people of California passed the coastal initiative ballot measure that, in the words of Coastwalk founder Bill Kortum, was “an expression of devotion to this magnificent coastline, the commons for all of California.” After taking my recent walks, I realized more than ever the importance of keeping that dream alive and well on the North Coast. l If you would like to write a Get Out!

Which Came First? On eggs and chickens By Ari LeVaux

once owned a T-shirt that read, “Stock up on eggs for Passover and Easter.” I bought it overseas, along with some other bits of shirt-bound poetry like “On the Road With Feeling” and “Head For These Seafood Values.” But “Stock up on eggs for Passover and Easter” was always different. It seemed both completely absurd, as one would expect from bad English T-shirt poetry, but also true. It felt like it was trying to tell me something. Eggs are, in fact, integral to both Passover and Easter, and if one wants to celebrate either, one will, in fact, want to stock up on eggs. So there is that. Of course few people celebrate both, but the shared egg hints at the fact that the two holidays are celebrating similar things. Both explore issues of birth and death and rebirth. And the egg is a powerful symbol of the transition into life. Spring is also an important season for another egg-worshipping tribe, the locavores — especially the backyard chicken farming subset. The egg symbolizes a vibrant backyard ecosystem. It is a joyous

morsel of cruelty-free animal protein, and a constant reminder how awesome it is to give your food waste to a chicken instead of a compost pile. But while eggs are definitely a goal in the raising of backyard chickens, the chicken comes first, according to Harvey Ussery in The Small-Scale Poultry Flock. And this is true both symbolically and literally. “Most beginning flocksters start with the chicken — either just-hatched chicks, started birds just out of the brooder up to onset of lay, or adult birds — though a few go-getters might prefer to start by hatching eggs in an incubator,” writes Ussery. Most hatcheries begin selling baby chicks in March, either as direct orders to consumers or to feed stores. Of course, chickens these days can be coaxed into laying eggs all year round. And new chicks can be incorporated into a flock at any time. But from a chick’s perspective, spring and summer is a great time to grow up. By the same token, hatcheries don’t like selling chicks in fall or winter, because too many of them die.

My first batch of mail-order chicks arrived in the mail on Easter Sunday, 2002. You might be thinking, “Wait, the mail doesn’t even come on Sunday, much less Easter Sunday.” In fact, the minute a shipment of live animals arrives at a post office, the recipient is notified, 24/7. It was about 8:30 p.m. on Easter Sunday when I got the call. I had to use the post office’s back door. Ordering chicks through the mail gives you a lot of options in terms of the many the fancy and funky breeds of chicken out there. At the same time, there’s something fun about going to the local feed store and rolling the dice on whatever they have in stock. I’ve had great luck with random feed store chicks. Of the common breeds, you can’t go wrong with the bright gold Buff Orpingtons. So while followers of biblical religions should consider stocking up on eggs for Passover and Easter, for those more inclined towards Earth Day, it’s time to stock up on baby chickens. If you are stocking up on chickens this time of year, you could do a lot worse than have Ussery’s book on your shelf. It’s an informative and entertaining read, and speaks to almost any question you could have about backyard poultry raising. Had I had his comprehensive opus when I was getting started, it would have saved me a lot of wrong turns and expanded my vision of the many ways that the personal flock can be integrated into the home ecosystem. Luckily, it’s never too late to explore the chicken and the egg. And in honor of egg season, and in service of general egg appreciation, I leave you with an egg recipe.

Tea Eggs

This is a popular Chinese New Year dish. Tea eggs are pretty, like Easter eggs. And like Passover eggs they are salty, thanks to the soy sauce. Start with some eggs in a pot of cold water. Bring it to a boil, and simmer for 10 minutes. Let the eggs cool to the point when you can handle them. Carefully crack the shellshells, either with the back of a spoon or by bonking them on the counter gently. You want to bonk hard enough to crack the shell, but you’re not peeling it, so you don’t want to smash the egg within. Return the cracked eggs to the pot. Add a cinnamon stick, two star anise pods, and several tablespoons of black tea and soy sauce, and simmer for two hours. Add more tea or soy sauce to make sure the water is really black. Turn off the heat and let it sit overnight. The next day, peel and serve. l

LoCura

Crazy

LoCura at the Mateel, plus Front Country, Pimps of Joytime and The California Honeydrops By Bob Doran

bobdoran@northcoastjournal.com

oCura is a crazy cool multiculti band based in San Francisco’s Mission District whose Spanish name has a dual meaning. “One way it means ‘madness,’ but ‘lo cura‘ also means ‘the cure,’” explains vocalist Kata Miletich (who is also Spanish). The band got its start when Kata and her guitarist partner Bob Sanders moved to Oakland. “We were starting to get into rhumba and flamenco and we met Rachael [Bouch], the original percussionist — she’d studied drums in Cuba.” They added new sounds like son to the mix. An electric bass player and a flamenco dancer came next. “It all fit so perfectly with the acoustic vibe,” said Kata. “Before you knew it we had a trumpet and a drum kit.” Rachael eventually moved on and others took her place. “It’s definitely grown,” said Kata. “Every person who comes into the band adds their own thing, maybe ska or klezmer or funk. It all plays a part in creating the vibe and the sound.” The sum of the parts sounds really good, totally vibrant — perfect for dancing. That’s the plan Saturday at the Mateel when LoCura plays a benefit for Heartwood Institute. Also on the bill: North Bay roots, rock, reggae stalwarts Sol Horizon and DJ Izzy Wise. Despite the prominent “featuring Melo-

dy Walker” on the poster for Front Country‘s Saturday show at the Jambalaya, Melody wants it known that it’s not really her band. “It’s a democratic deal, a collaboration,” she said, calling from her home in Martinez. Front Country got its start in Spring 2011 when Melody’s music partner Jacob Groopman assembled a pickup band, inviting the best pickers he knew in the Bay Area. All involved had some sort of bluegrass/newgrass roots. The band ended up with a once-a-month residency at the Atlas Café in San Francisco’s Mission District. “We have all the bluegrass instruments except Dobro,” said Melody, who serves as primary vocalist. “And we play a few bluegrass standards, but we also do King Crimson and Joni Mitchell tunes. It’s hard to define. I wouldn’t call it jamgrass. Sometimes we call it new acoustic folk. The band took its first real road trip last summer, to Colorado for the annual RockyGrass. Entering the band competition was almost an afterthought, but Front Country ended up winning first place. “That was kind of a mandate to keep it going,” said Melody. It led to higher profile gigs like the recent Bluegrass Cruise out of Miami and a few choice festival dates this summer. Opening for Saturday’s show at the Jam: The Blackberry Bushes, a really

good alt. folk string trio out of Portland. If you were at last year’s Blues by the Bay, you remember the Laurie Morvan Band rockin’ the blues — hard — with Laurie out front, shredding on guitar. She struts her stuff at the Riverwood Inn Friday night. “Healing In Eureka” is another worthy music/auction benefit for a friend in need due to medical expenses (breast cancer this time). The eclectic lineup Saturday at the Eureka Women’s Club includes Guilty Apples, The Compost Mountain Boys, The Bret Harte Breakers, The 51 Cards and Nashville garage rockers Useless Eaters. With the start of the Kinetic season upon us, Matt ‘n’ Adam from Missing Link are back at Humboldt Brews Friday (with Mantease) for “Enchantment Under the Sea” a benefit record party for the Velo Crab Kinetic Sculpture Team. Saturday the Kinetic Madness moves to Tempus Fugitives’ South G Thunderdome for a “Post-Apocalyptic Party” featuring metalheads Paranoid Android, the Va Va Voom Burlesque Vixens (in apocalyptic outfits) and the dark, dank DJs of Phantom Wave, plus an auction (and burritos etc. from the Que Grande! food truck). On the alt. rock front: The Lost Luvs and Tweeners open for Seattle garage surf girl group La Luz Friday at the Shanty. La Luz are on a spring break tour with The Ballantynes, a seven-piece gospel-meets-garage outfit out of East Vancouver, BC. Also on Friday, an Ink Annex/Placebo show featuring mellow Portland experimental rock trio The Mercury Tree, on tour with PDX “progressive/post-hardcore alt. math” rockers Red Forman with local support from electro-cabaret queercore trio Space Biscuit. Catch Space Biscuit again next Wednesday (March 27) at the Jambalaya, for what’s billed as a “punk night” mainly because of A.M. Beers. Neo-hip hop combo Body Academics is on the bill too, as well as Pressure Anya, who may spin some punky records. Space Biscuit drummer Tamaras Abrams also plays Monday at the Speakeasy with her other band, No Covers, a jazz duo with piano-man Justin Ross. Bad Kitty takes over the Palm Lounge Tuesday hosting the return of Henchmen, a hard rockin’ guitar/standup bass/drums trio out of Whittier. Opening is one-man punk The Bored Again, aka Dave-o. Pimps of Joytime is one of those unrelentingly funky party bands. Founded in 2005 by guitarist/keyboardist/vocalist Brian J, the band spirals out of Brooklyn spreading a mix of funk, Afrobeat, reggae and Latin rhythms far and wide, particularly on the festival circuit (Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, High Sierra, the Mateel’s Summer Arts Fest). A West Coast tour with San Diego electrohip hop/funk combo Vocab Kompany brings the funk to Humboldt Brews on Tuesday. The first time I heard The California Honeydrops’ update on American roots mu-

sic — a primo mix of blues, soul and gospel with a heavy dose of second line New Orleans jazz — I thought they’d be perfect for the Redwood Coast Jazz Festival. I suggested it to the then-director; sadly, he retired last year. Charismatic frontman Lech Wierzynski handles vocals and plays a mean trumpet and guitar — little old ladies would swoon over him. Too bad the Honeydrops are not playing over the weekend. Instead, Lech and company jazz up the crowd at Humboldt Brews next Wednesday night. It’s the start of the band’s Like You Mean It CD Release tour, so come prepared to take home the latest tunes. If you’re looking for something more country-ish that Wednesday, Gunsafe is rocking the Mad River Brewery Taproom. Nuff said. The Eureka Symphony celebrates the coming of spring with an afternoon chamber music benefit concert on Sunday at the Eureka Women’s Club. The program has Terrie Baune on violin, John Chernoff on piano and E-Symphony Maestra Carol Jacobson on cello performing Bach’s “Sonata in F minor for violin and clavier,” Shostakovich’s “Trio No. 2, Op 67” and Schubert’s “Trio in Bb Major, Op 99.” That’s followed by a discussion about why those are some of their favorite works. Jacobson is also on the eclectic program for the Humboldt Music Academy Faculty Concert later on Sunday (7:30 p.m.) in HSU’s Fulkerson Recital Hall. The players are as varied as the academy curriculum. Among them, songwriter Joanne Rand, classical pianist Robin Miller, folk music masters Sam McNeill and Dan Chandler, violinist Holly McDonell, Katri and Larry Pitts doing showtunes, cellists Kira Weiss and Cassie Moulton, vocalist Gwen Post, pianist Jamie Howington, jazzman Bill Allison, and SquarPeg, a “strange chamber” combo that does not fit in round holes. Ba-Dum-Chh Comedy has back-to back funniness this week: The troupe’s “Liquor & Laughter” night Thursday at the Pearl Lounge is followed by “Ba-Dum-Chh Comedy Finds the Silver Lining” (at the Arcata/ Eureka Humboldt/Redwoods Regional/ Memorial Airport in McKinleyville) on Friday. Warning: It may be hard to find a seat what with the stick-it-in-your-Eye controversy swirling around Bad-Dum-Chh bad girl Sherae O’Shaughnessy. Then it’s another Savage Henry midweek laugh blast starting with the monthly “CU Last Tuesday” at the Jambalaya, this one featuring San Francisco comics Sean Keane, Kate Willett and Jules Posner joining several locals (including the Journal‘s own Kim Hodges). The Savages have figured out how to turn these visits into mini-tours by adding a pair of Wednesday shows with the visiting artists: early (6-ish) at The Works (all ages BTW), then later (9-ish) at the Angelina Inn. Yuck it up.

Sorry! Chubby Checker Will Not Be Measuring Your Penis Holy wow. It’s not every week that a bonafide cultural icon just twists his way into Humboldt. But, by golly, on Saturday, March 23, musical legend Chubby Checker will take the stage at CherAe Heights Casino and, we’re guessing, perform “The Twist.” Geez, if he’s savvy, he’ll perform it three or four times. Why? Because the 1961 megahit was so huge it was named the number one song on Billboard magazine’s 2008 “Hot 100 50th Anniversary” chart, officially making it the most successful record of the American rock ‘n’ roll era. Suck on that, Santana (feat. Rob Thomas). But while Mr. Checker will undoubtedly perform for you “The Twist,” “Let’s Twist Again,” “Slow Twisting,” and other songs related to the ginchy, hip-swingin’ dance fire he ignited five decades ago, what he will not do on Saturday night is measure the length and girth of your penis. Here is how we know this: Roughly a month ago, the musical legend — born Ernest Evans — made headlines when it was announced that he

“IT’S THIS BIG.”

was filing a $500 million trademark infringement lawsuit against Hewlett Packard for “irreparable damage and harm.” The beef? A novelty app that allowed users to estimate the length of their man’s penis based on his shoe size called — do I have to say it? — “The Chubby Checker.” But here’s the twist … and it goes like this: The app is already dead, since HP stopped producing the hardware and operating system it ran on in 2011 and removed it from being downloadable in September 2012. Further, it was reported that the stupid thing was only downloaded a total of 84 times. Very few chubbies were checked. Mr. Evans’ legacy is likely secure. Everyone chill. Where were we? Oh ya!

Jazz for Don

The 23rd Annual Redwood Coast Jazz Festival, dedicated to Don Moehnke Eureka gets jazzy this weekend as the Redwood Coast Jazz Festival returns, bringing music and dancing to six venues around town. The festive weekend starts Thursday, March 21, at 5 p.m. with A Taste of Main Street, where you can wander Old Town sampling wares from 24 different food producers, everything from sushi and pizza to pulled pork and organic gelato. (Call Eureka Main Street at 442-9054 for tickets.) That leads right into the Festival Kick Off Dance starting at 7 p.m. at the Adorni Center with rootsy rock and blues by The Delta Nationals, followed by Oregonian neo-swing big band High Street. The official opening ceremony is Friday at 1:30 p.m., a free show at the Eureka Theater featuring Buck Creek Reunion Band plus High Sierra Jazz Band with special guest Bob Draga on clarinet. As in years past, Draga will be roving all weekend playing with various bands. There’s another free show that night in the Eureka High Auditorium with the Eureka High School Jazz Ensemble. The kids were supposed to open for The Commanders from Travis Air Force Base, but due to the federal sequester, that band had to cancel. The replacement: longtime festival favorites Blue Street Jazz Band, known as “The Bad Boys of Dixieland,” plus guests Gordon and Brandon Au from the Au Brothers, a red hot jazz band out of Sacramento.

Showtime 7 p.m. You’ll see the Aus throughout the fest: The brothers guest with other bands, the new-toHumboldt Red Skunk Band includes Justin Au on trumpet, and the family band plays on its own. Looking for a break from all that jazz? Gator Beat mixes New Orleans R&B with zydeco and Cajun tunes; fiddler Tom Rigney and his band Flambeau push the boundaries of neo-traditional Cajun music. If you’re just planning on going to one show, the Saturday night dance party at the Muni might be the ticket. The lineup includes Frisco-based jump swing band Lost Dog Found, the Au Brothers, Red Skunk (with all three of the brothers Au), as well as neo-swingers Stompy Jones, a longtime festival favorite. If you’re not too worn out from dancing the night away Saturday, Blue Street Jazz Band plays a free program of hymnals at the Adorni Center first thing Sunday morning (8:30 a.m.). Most venues close at 2:30 p.m. Sunday; the exception is the “Grand Finale” at the Muni, a showcase with half a dozen bands and guests playing short sets. This year’s fest is dedicated to the late Don Moehnke, a tireless teacher and jazz supporter, and a fine trumpet player. As usual the line-up includes a number of youth bands from local high

schools and junior highs. Incidentally, you’ll find Don’s (grown) son, Bill Moehnke, all over the festival. He plays drums for local trad band The Hall Street Honkers, and for The Uptown Kings blues band; he’s also sitting in as drummer for The Au Brothers. And don’t miss the rest of the Humboldt County contingent: The Horn Band and Donna Landry and Swingset, bands that keep the dancers

dancing all year ‘round. The ticket pricing structure is complicated, with different prices for all weekend, single days, “prime time” one evening tickets, even a single venue ticket for the Eureka Theater and, of course, a good deal for youth (ages 13-23). Full details at www.redwoodjazz.org or call the Redwood Coast Music Festivals office at 445-3378. See you on the dance floor. — Bob Doran

Halle Berry and Steve Carell phone it in with a pair of generic Hollywood duds By John J. Bennett filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

THE CALL. Despite a few original twists and turns, and an impressive performance by Abigail Breslin, this would-be thriller is just another mid-March waste of time. Los Angeles 911 operator Jordan Turner (Halle Berry) takes a call from a terrified young girl whose house is being broken into by an anonymous prowler. Jordan manages to help the girl outwit her assailant, but when the call is disconnected, Jordan calls back. The ringing phone reveals the girl in her hiding place. Her body is discovered in a shallow grave a short time later. Six months elapse, and Jordan has hung up her headset in favor of teaching new hires inside the call center. But when a call comes in from a just-abducted teen girl (Breslin), Jordan is called upon to take it. As the call and ensuing manhunt progress, it becomes clear that the kidnapper is the killer from that tragic earlier incident. That much of the story is taut and really pretty original. But from there the suspense evaporates and logic flies out the window. Jordan’s PTSD is depicted, in its entirety, as a few seconds of short breath, easily resolved by running her hands nervously through her hair. Her on-again, off-again patrol cop boyfriend (Morris Chestnut) inexplicably takes the lead in chasing down the kidnapper. And the kidnapper turns out to be a by-thenumbers aspiring serial killer from a whitebread suburban family who has a grisly fixation on his long-dead sister. By the time Jordan takes the investigation into her own hands (who wouldn’t, right?) The Call has spent so much time in hackneyed territory that it’s hard even to muster the energy for frustration. In spite of such low standards, Breslin gives a riveting, sometimes heartbreaking

Movie Times

performance. She moves from teen-girl snottiness to terror to anger with an alacrity that Berry could take a few notes from. Unfortunately, Breslin spends much of the movie in the trunks of cars, so a lot of her physical acting gets lost to darkness and static camera angles. The Call is just good enough to give a glimpse of what might have been. Perhaps a different director could have translated the script into a tense, efficient little thriller, but a few effective scenes notwithstanding, Brad Anderson surrenders the story to lazy exposition, superficial scene development and predictable characterization. R. 95m. THE INCREDIBLE BURT WONDERSTONE. Incredible it ain’t. Steve Carell could be a great big movie star if he didn’t keep getting in his own way. He’s been anointed the family friendly comedy star of the moment. All well and good: He generally turns in sturdy if unsurprising performances. The problem is that nobody seems to write funny or original family comedies these days. Carell’s most entertaining roles are in more adult-oriented movies where he gets out of the “dad next door” shadow — The 40 Year Old Virgin and Anchorman, in particular, but even the sometimes syrupy Crazy Stupid Love gave him a character with some depth. I like Carell, and I think he’s got it in him to take on more demanding roles. I look forward especially to the upcoming Foxcatcher from director Bennett Miller (Capote, Moneyball). But that’s in the future; for now we’ve got predictable, sentimental Burt. Carell’s title character is half of a Las Vegas magic act that’s getting long in the tooth, its audiences dwindling. Yet even faced with the growing success of street magician Steve Gray (Jim Carrey), a cartoonish Criss Angel/David Blaine type, Burt refuses to change his outdated act. This precipitates a falling out with his partner, Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi), and the loss of his prestigious and lucrative contract with Bally’s Casino. So Burt must start all over again, with a little help from the magician who inspired him as a boy (Alan Arkin) and a gorgeous up-andcomer (Olivia Wilde) who (unbelievably if inevitably) falls in love with him. Somewhere in here is a funny satire of modern magic. Maybe studio tampering declawed this thing. Carell and Buscemi deploy their near-perfect timing and

penchant for oddness, and Carrey gets back into his ‘90s slapstick rhythm. But it’s not enough. The jokes are too tame, the resolution’s too predictable, and the characters are far too simplistic. A few funny gimmicks and asides from a reliable cast are the only minor pleasures amid dull, slapped-together Hollywood drivel. PG13. 100m. — John J. Bennett

Previews

THE CROODS. The latest from Dreamworks animation imagines the world’s first road trip, with a modern Stone Age family searching for a new cave. Voices by Nic Cage, Katherine Keener and Emma Stone (Ha ha! Stone!). PG. 92m. OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN. Gerard Butler tries to maintain his string of cinematic stink bombs with this action-thriller, which borrows the plot from Die Hard and puts it inside the White House. With Aaron Eckhart as the president (hmm) and Morgan Freeman as someone with gravitas. R. 100m. ADMISSION. Are Tina Fey and Paul Rudd the most charming actors in movies today? I’m gonna say “yes.” Here, Fey plays a Princeton admissions officer and Rudd’s a teacher at an alternative high school who wants her to meet a promising kid. Could he be the son she gave up for adoption? I’m gonna say “yes.” PG13. 117m. G.I. JOE: RETALIATION. Despite lousy reviews, 2009’s G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra earned more than $300 million worldwide. Hence: sequel. This time out, “The Rock” and Bruce Willis join Channing Tatum as enlisted men. PG13. 110m. The Future Shorts Film Festival returns to the Arcata Theatre Lounge Friday at 8 p.m. with a new selection of awardwinning short films from around the world. Looks great. Sunday, my favorite Pixar movie, The Incredibles, plays at 6 p.m. And next Wednesday, the world must defend itself from such colossal creatures as Mothra, Godzilla and Rodan as the 1968 B-movie classic Destroy All Monsters

invades Sci-Fi Pint and Pizza Night. 6 p.m.

Continuing

21 AND OVER. The Hangover premise (drunken morons breaking stuff) recycled with characters who are barely legal. R. 93m. IDENTITY THIEF. A long-suffering everyman (Jason Bateman) hunts down the crazed throat-puncher who stole his identity (Melissa McCarthy). R. 111m. JACK THE GIANT SLAYER. This bland, big-budget retelling of the classic fairytale warrants a “Fee-fi-HO-HUM.” Har har! PG13. 114m. OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL. James Franco stars as the young wizardto-be in this visually rich but ultimately hollow prequel. PG. 130m. SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MAN.

BRIDGEVILLE FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT NOTICE OF ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE 2013-01 AND CERTAIN LOCAL EXEMPTIONS

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on MONDAY, MARCH 11, 2013 the Board of Directors of the Bridgeville Fire Protection District, hereinafter referred to as BFPD, held a Public Hearing during their regular Board Meeting to hear input from the public regarding Ordinance 2013-01 to administer the special tax on real property located within the BFPD. Upon closing the Public Hearing, the Board convened in open session to consider amendments and adoption of Ordinance 2013-01. The Board chose to make a technical change to the Ordinance by removal of the word “draft” from the document. Motion was made and seconded and passed with a roll call vote by the following Board Members: Church, Fleek, Phillips, and Vegliano to adopt Ordinance 2013-01. Board Member Saler was absent. The purpose of the adoption of Ordinance 2013-01 is to fund ongoing fire protection services consistent with the needs of the residents of the BFPD and the Fire Protection Law of 1987, with emphasis on mandated and statutory requirement for personnel and equipment safety. Summary of Ordinance 2013-01 The Ordinance is the result of voter approval on August 28, 2012 for formation of the Bridgeville Fire Protection District and to administer the special tax on real property located within the jurisdiction of the BFPD. Section 1—Purpose and Intent: (A) to provide an annual budget to support the Bridgeville Volunteer Fire Department to fund ongoing fire protection services, and (B) to provide for a Reserve Fund to be built over time to be agreed upon and set each year at a public meeting of the BFPD Board. Section 2—Tax imposed: Establishes a tax on lands located within the BPFD. The tax amount, as approved by the District voters and according to the use of the parcel

is established at $10 for unimproved parcels, $75 for improved parcels containing one family residential dwelling, and $100 for improved parcels containing commercial structures and manufactured home parks. Section 3—Exemption from Special Tax, (A) provides an exemption for parcels which are contiguous, undeveloped, held under identical ownership, and used solely for agricultural grazing may, upon approval of an application by the owners thereof to the BFPD Board annually, be treated as a single parcel for purposes of this special tax. (B) provides a partial and complete exemption from the tax for landowners who fall within the US Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Guidelines for “Very Low”; or “poverty level” income to apply to the BFPD Board for a partial or complete exemption annually from the tax. Section 4—Annual Adjustment: The special tax may be adjusted through Resolution by the BFPD Board at the beginning of each, fiscal year, commencing July 1, 2013, following a public hearing, by no more than the cost of living, as determined by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) prepared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, not to exceed five percent (5%). Section 5—Special Tax Roll: Each year, prior to the due date imposed by the Humboldt County Auditor Controller, the BFPD Board of Directors shall adopt by resolution the special tax roll specifying the special tax amount for each taxable parcel. Section 6—Method of Collection: The special tax imposed by this Ordinance is due from every person(s) who owns a parcel(s) within the BFPD and is reflected upon the rolls of the County Assessor at the same time ad valorem tax is due and is collected in the same manner. Section 7—Delinquency: To any amount of the special tax created by this Ordinance that becomes delinquent, the Humboldt County Tax Collector shall add a penalty in the amount equal to any penalty owing for delinquencies in the ad valorem property tax. The tax and penalty shall bear interest at the same rate as the rate for unpaid ad valorem property tax until paid. Section 8—Effective Date: Pursuant to California Code Section 25123(c), this Ordinance shall become effective immediately upon approval by the BFPD Board of Directors. Section 9—Annual Report: BFPD shall file an annual report regarding the use of the tax proceeds as required by Government Code Section 50075.3. Section 10—Invalidity: If any part of this ordinance is held to be invalid for any reason, such decision shall not affect the remaining portion of this Ordinance and the BFPD Board of Directors hereby declares that it would have passed the remainder of this Ordinance as if such invalid portion thereof had been deleted. Section 11—Adoption and Publication: Upon Board review and approval as a result of Board discussion and public input, the notification of adoption of this Ordinance shall be published once in the North

Coast Journal and the Bridgeville Community Newsletter, both local general circulation sources in Humboldt County, with full copies posted at the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) Office, 3015 “H” Street, Eureka, CA and in the communities of Bridgeville at the Bridgeville Elementary School, Bridgeville Community Center, Bridgeville Post Office, and at Carlotta at the Swains Flat Store, 20300 Highway 36.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com ast week, we saw how the monknavigator Andrés Urdaneta was summoned back into the service of his native Spain to find an easterly route from the Philippines to New Spain, present-day Mexico. The first land sighted by Urdaneta this side of the Pacific on his groundbreaking (seabreaking?) voyage of 1565 was almost certainly Cape Mendocino, the most westerly point on the coast of California. The headland had been named 20 years earlier by its Spanish discover, Juan Rodriquez Cabrillo, to honor the first Viceroy of New Spain, Don Antonio de Mendoza. Now the landmark was to be a vital point of demarcation for trade galleons following Urdaneta’s passage en route from Manila to Acapulco. (Much later, navigators, fearful of northern California’s coastal fog and rocky shoreline, tended to turn south earlier when they were about 300 miles out to sea.) From 1565 to 1815, between two and four large Spanish galleons built of Philippine hardwood made four-to-sixmonth eastbound voyages from Manila to Acapulco each year. They brought rich cargoes of porcelain, ivory, silks, wax, chinaware and spices until the Mexican War of Independence put a stop to the trade in 1815, six years before Mexico finally seceded from Spain after a long struggle. The Manila galleons stayed at sea during the lonely voyage from the Philippines

to Acapulco, but some of the 30-odd ships that were lost without a trace may have inadvertently ended up on California’s North Coast. Which could explain the legend of King Peak. In the July 1963 issue of Western Folklore magazine, local writer Lynwood Carranco re-tells an Andrew Genzoli tale. Genzoli was a historian and Humboldt Times columnist (and, according to those who knew him, something of a storyteller). He claimed, in turn, to have heard the following when he was a youngster from Johnny Jack, a Mattole and Wiyot Native American who lived at the mouth of the Mattole River: A ship carrying a rich cargo of gold, gems and silk was wrecked on the Lost Coast; the crew either drowned or were killed by local Native Americans, who recovered the cargo and stashed it in a cave below King Peak; and an earthquake subsequently sealed up the opening of the cave, and (you have to take my word on this) the loot is there to this day. Does this tale, passed down through the years by Mattole tribal members, explain the disappearance of one of the missing Manila-Acapulco galleons? Get out there, locate the cave, and we’ll find the truth! l Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo. com) would have found the treasure by now if not for the notorious Lost Coast poison oak.
