Comment of the Week Life Editor: Regardless of where you stand on capital punishment, the statistics pertaining to California’s exercising of the punishment are rather sobering (“A Capital Question,” March 20). Considering that nearly 60 percent of those who have died on death row since 1978 have done so via natural causes, these individuals essentially served a “life without the possibility of parole” sentences.

Given the exorbitant expenditures exhausted on the death penalty and the rather staid outcome, it seems that one can realize the ultimate objective (death) by sentencing all those convicted of capital crimes to life without the possibility of parole. Q.E.D. Michael Sanders, Arcata

Quality of Life Editor: The article by Thadeus Greenson on the county’s General Plan Update (“The GPU,” March 13) was both interesting and revealing. I found the comments of the county’s planning director, Kevin Hamblin, especially apropos. Hamblin acknowledges that “people like living here” and are very protective of our physical surroundings. But he adds that people also leave the county due to the lack of opportunity and “economic growth is always a top priority for policy makers.”

From my perspective the debates surrounding the update language represent

two competing theories of economic development.

The “Resource Extraction Theory of Economics” assumes that extraction and export of natural resources form the “base” of the economy and all other economic activity derives from that base.

In contrast, the “Quality of Life Theory” (from a 1995 report by The Wilderness Society) assumes that job creation is driven primarily by entrepreneurial activity and entrepreneurs and residents make location decisions based, in part, on quality of life.

The quality of life theory views the environment as more than a repository of raw materials. The environment also keeps existing residents and their businesses from leaving while attracting new people and businesses. People are, quite simply, seeking a pleasant environment in which to live and do business.

Under the quality of life theory, the first rule of economic development is “preservation of environmental amenities.”

Today, economic success depends on an increased application of human resources, of skilled professionals who add value to natural resources (e.g., furniture making, nature tourism). The key difference between low-wage and high-wage service jobs will be education.

We must seek a “win-win” scenario that supports positive links between environment and development resulting in environmental improvement at the same time as positive income growth.

The Big Chill

B

ack in April 2007, some 3,500 people peaceably gathered in Redwood Park in Arcata to celebrate weed. I wrote about it in this column, noting how amazed I was that in a county of 130,000 the two daily newspapers we had back then skipped the event.

I get high on large, peaceful gatherings. It is one of the things I miss about San Francisco. In the city there’s always ginormous gatherings of people for all kinds of reasons: they celebrate this or protest that.

I can’t remember the last time there was a really sizeable outdoor gathering here. Even last year’s Oyster Fest was a dud after organizers decided to charge money for it.

I’m beginning to think there is a concerted movement among local political leaders and police agencies to quash our social and political outdoor gatherings.

And that’s a big problem. The right to assemble is one of our most important First Amendment rights.

Consider: In November 2011, Eureka police arrested 32 people when they cleared out a group of protesters, known as Occupy Eureka, that had camped out in front of the county courthouse. Last April, Arcata police closed off Redwood Park to stop the annual afternoon pot party known as 420. And in June, Arcata Main Street charged Oysterfest goers a $10 entry fee to “change the dynamic and energy of the event.”

There’s an ongoing tree-sit near Strawberry Rock right now, but the last sizeable protest here was a small gathering of people in front of the courthouse in support of businesses vexed by a lawyer suing on behalf of disabled people. And the last “spontaneous” gatherings were “cash mobs” — groups of people who swoop down on a local business all at the same time to spend their money.

That’s in lieu of flash mobs — instant Twitter-driven protests in countries where announcing a protest ahead of time will result in a faceoff with heavily armed police.

This isn’t the same Humboldt County I found when I arrived 10 years ago. I came up here to teach, in part, because of its

history of activism. It was here that Julia Butterfly Hill sat up in a tree she called Luna for two years to keep chainsaws at bay. It was here that a group of people continued to link arms in anti-logging protests even after police pepper sprayed them, and where District Attorney Paul Gallegos had the gumption to sue logging company Pacific Lumber Co., the county’s largest private employer, for business fraud.

Around the world, people risk their lives gathering in mass demonstrations for, well, the right to assemble. Here we have it but we don’t use it. Why? I think it is because of the small steps our local government leaders and police agencies have taken to reduce, prevent and punish outdoor assemblies because the type of people who tend to assemble aren’t the types of people they want hanging out.

But the First Amendment doesn’t say that only some people have the right to assemble. It says government “shall make no law… abridging … the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” You can’t try to prevent a peaceful gathering of people just because they are unsightly and smell, or because when they leave there will be litter to cleanup.

Two years ago I wrote about an emergency ordinance the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors enacted that made it a misdemeanor to camp out at the courthouse or stick signs on to the courthouse walls or fences. It didn’t outlaw protests but it did send a clear message to the citizens of this county: We don’t want you in front of the courthouse and we will find reasons to boot you from it.

In April, I expect the Board of Supervisors to reconsider the emergency ordinance at the behest of the Humboldt County Human Rights Commission. Last year, the commission drew up a draft policy statement that says, among other things, “The Humboldt County Courthouse is the seat of county government and is centrally located one block from Eureka City Hall. It is reasonable to expect that members of the public may

CIRCULATION VERIFICATION C O U N C I L

regularly use the courthouse grounds, and other county-controlled properties, to address their elected officials and the public through public displays, protests or other expressions of free speech. This has historically been the case, usually without incident. Public expressions of free speech are particularly important for those whose resources are limited.”

On April 20 people around the county will gather in various places to celebrate marijuana. Typically, the Humboldt State University campus clears out around 3:30 p.m. Redwood Park is a short walk away.

If my students gather to smoke dope, I’d prefer they don’t drive home. But there’s this too: Smoking marijuana these days is a political statement. A gathering of thousands of people to smoke marijuana is a big political statement. You may not agree with that kind of politics. But the First Amendment wasn’t written to protect politics you agree with. It was intended to protect politics with which you disagree.

And as for any cleanup needed after such a gathering? Well, that seems to be a perfect use for the money Arcata has raised with its recent utility tax on grow houses.

Let’s be clear. I am not calling for people to set up camp outside the courthouse. Nor am I advocating for thousands of people to illegally smoke a controlled substance at 4:20 p.m. on April 20 in a city-owned park. I am saying that we should allow people to advocate for the legality of smoking a substance that the state has declared lawful for medical purposes. The Bill of Rights gave us the right to assemble. The people of Humboldt County need to start asserting that right. And, as our representatives, our local leaders need to protect that right, not work to restrict it.

Fumbled Apology Was it necessary to water down Mayor Jager’s letter to the Wiyot?

By Heidi Walters

his weekend, the Wiyot Tribe is holding its first World Renewal Ceremony since the last one, in February 1860, was cut short when white settlers massacred as many as 100 tribe members as they slept on Indian Island. And so the city of Eureka has voted to send the tribe an official letter of … well, it started out as “apology” for the massacre but later morphed into simply “support” for the tribe after city staff decided an apology might expose the city to lawsuits.

Which is nonsense, said Cornell University professor of law and social psychology Jeffrey Rachlinski, who has studied the effects of apologies on legal proceedings.

“Their concern with liability is unfounded,” Rachlinski said in an email, adding that the law offers no source of liability for a massacre so long ago.

Furthermore, he said, taking back an apology can sometimes backfire.

On Monday, March 17, after drafting a letter of apology to the Wiyot Tribe over the weekend, Eureka Mayor Frank

6 North Coast Journal • Thursday, March 27, 2014 • northcoastjournal.com

Jager had the city clerk send out the draft — noting it would be voted upon at the city council meeting that coming Tuesday night — to the media, who then reported on it. Then, that Tuesday, in the hours before the council meeting, legal eyes locked onto the letter and perceived trouble. A second draft was speedily written in time for the meeting that night and also lobbed off to the media. The changes were dramatic — and the media reported on them.

Some of the language that was

eviscerated from the first draft included “citizens of Eureka participated in” and “massacre of unfathomable proportions” and “formal apology” and “nothing we say or do can make up for what occurred on that night of infamy.” The second draft, though on its own nice enough, was a somewhat stranded piece of work, afloat in oddly minimalist bureaucratese with no mention of who attacked the Wiyot, nor of anyone’s being sorry for it. (Both drafts offered the tribe the city’s support.)

At the council meeting, Jager said his letter was inspired by the upcoming Wiyot World Renewal Ceremony and the fact that his two young granddaughters are members of the Wiyot Tribe. He said he’d taken them to several of the Wiyot vigils over the years memorializing their murdered ancestors.

During public comment, which occurred before the council compared the merits of the two drafts, praise was plentiful for the mayor’s gesture. Bruce Kaye, a substance abuse counselor for Humboldt County and a member of the Navajo Tribe, called the city’s “taking responsibility” like this “unprecedented.” Several people offered their own personal apologies for the 154-year-old crime. Some of the commenters seemed unaware the word “apology” had been removed from the letter.

After public comment, the council discussed the two letters (the second of which they’d received just before the meeting). Councilmember Mike Newman, saying he had no problem with an apology but feared financial liability, asked city attorney Cyndy Day-Wilson to clarify the danger.

“There’s always the potential when you put something in writing that someone’s going to take it and use it for purposes you did not intend,” Day-Wilson answered. That’s why, she added, she and staff rewrote the letter, taking a “different approach.”

Councilmember Linda Atkins said she was drawn to the first letter, and later added, “My concern is that, as people, we are unable to take any steps in this world without a concern about liability.”

Councilmember Melinda Ciarabellini, who helped Jager draft his first letter, wondered if at least the second draft could be labeled “letter of apology.”

Day-Wilson didn’t like that idea.

Before the council voted unanimously (some members reluctantly) for the apology-less language of the second draft, Ciarabellini said it was appropriate to read that second draft to the public, and she read it aloud.

So how big a deal is this? Perhaps not very, in light of the more momentous occurrence: the revival of the Wiyot Tribe’s annual World Renewal Ceremony. And it seemed clear at the council meeting that sincere feelings of regret drove Jager

to draft his letter and caused several of the councilmembers to agonize over the changes to it. As councilmember Chet Albin explained his take on the matter, “even if [the second draft] is not the mayor’s words, the intent is still to apologize.”

But this smudge on an otherwise joyous moment didn’t have to happen.

“No matter how tragic the events, or egregious the conduct, no one alive today is a sufficiently close relative that they can recover for the death of a family member killed at the massacre, nor are any witnesses alive who might have directly suffered emotional distress,” said Cornell professor Rachlinski. “Furthermore, the apology identifies the wrongdoers as unnamed citizens of Eureka whose liability died with them. The apology also admits no wrongdoing on the part of the City Council (whom they represent and for whom they can speak).”

He said lawsuits brought against corporations for the role they or their predecessors played in the slave trade have been uniformly rejected for similar reasons.

Lawsuits by Native American tribes against states and municipalities over treaty rights

dirt done cheap Royal gold mendo mix

are common, he added, but those usually concern details of a treaty.

Rachlinski called altering the apology ill-advised.

“The research on apologies suggest that once an apology becomes expected, the failure to offer one makes someone seem more culpable than had no apology been considered,” he said.

Day-Wilson did not return multiple Journal calls seeking clarification on her specific concerns with the first letter.

Mayor Jager also did not return calls. Tribal members, preparing for the ceremony, were unavailable for comment.

On Monday, Jager will present the city’s letter to the Wiyot Tribal Council where — the psychology of near-apologies notwithstanding — gracious acceptance is expected.

“I think the feeling is we are going to respond to the letter that is presented to us,” said Tom Torma, the tribe’s culture director. l Go online to www.northcoastjournal.com to read the two letters, and to learn about the Wiyot Tribe’s World Renewal Ceremony.

UPD Brutality Case Settled

The California State University system has settled a civil lawsuit brought by a Fieldbrook man who alleged he was the victim of a “brutal assault” by Humboldt State University police in January 2012, agreeing to pay the man $135,000.

CSU spokesman Mike Uhlenkamp said the payment will come out of HSU coffers, noting that the settlement includes no admission of wrongdoing.

Casey Arndt, 33, filed the federal lawsuit last year alleging that Humboldt State University Police officer Delmar Tompkins pointed a gun at Arndt’s head and Tompkins and other officers assaulted him, causing injuries to his face, back, legs, arms, feet and hands. No charges were filed against Arndt.

Reached Tuesday, UPD Chief Lynne Soderberg said she was not involved in the settlement discussions and declined to comment on the outcome, other than to say “it’s good it’s over with.” Soderberg said UPD conducted an internal investigation into Arndt’s arrest and subsequent allegations but declined to say if that investigation led to any disciplinary action. Tompkins is still employed with UPD and has seen no changes to his duties or assignments.

The settlement represents the second time in five years that allegations against Tompkins have resulted in a payout. The city of Oakland agreed to pay $43,000 to settle a 2009 brutality claim against Tompkins while he was employed by the Oakland Police Department.

Distilling Gold

The Humboldt Distillery has something to toast.

Humboldt County’s first micro distillery nabbed a gold medal for its organic vodka at the 2014 Denver International Spirits Competition held in early March.

The double blind competition was judged by 15 “distilled spirits industry veterans,” according to a press release.

For more on the Humboldt Distillery, check out the Journal’s May 2, 2013 cover story on the Fortuna vodka company and its founder, Abe Stevens. The distillery plans release an organic spiced rum later this spring, and organic whiskey in late 2014 or early 2015.

Ridding Toxic Killers

On March 18, California passed a regulation restricting retail sales of certain rat poisons, such as d-Con. Soon, only licensed, certified or county-permitted application professionals will be able to use them. The restrictions don’t go into effect until July 1. But by Friday morning, at least one local retailer was already sweeping those products from its shelves.

Pierson Building Center’s garden shop manager, Lydia Rieman, said she has known for at least a year that the restriction was coming and hasn’t been carrying any backstock on d-Con. What limited supplies her shop had were pulled off the shelves today.

“And we’ll no longer special order it for people,” she said.

The use of these rodenticides on illegal marijuana farms has caused particular alarm, especially here in Humboldt County.

According to a National Public Radio report, they’re responsible for “nearly a third of the deaths of male fishers in recent years” on the Hoopa Valley reservation. It was brodifacoum that killed a Blue Lake man’s dog in February. The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office is investigating that death: Red meat laced with brodifacoum was found in the dog’s system — possibly as revenge against the dog’s owner, who is a researcher studying how the use of these poisons on pot farms affects wildlife.

A legal challenge from the makers of d-Con has delayed implementation of a similar federal restriction from going into effect.

CONTRACTOR’S SPECIAL

GOVERNMENT

Tyrone Kelley Leaving

After mid-April, we won’t be seeing the familiar helmet-clad figure of our Six Rivers National Forest Supervisor, Tyrone Kelley, riding his bicycle home through Eureka after work. Nor can we expect to see him at those sometimes contentious fire-safety meetings in our mountain communities. He’s moving to Vallejo for a new job: director of engineering at the Forest Service Pacific Southwest’s regional office, says a news release from Six Rivers National Forest.

Kelley’s had a busy tenure here on the North Coast since taking the supervisor position in 2006. He’s invested much time in particular working with tribes and others to create more cooperative fire management approaches in the communities abutting forest lands.

“The job has been challenging and rewarding,” he says in the news release.

“I have had the great fortune to work with dedicated employees, communities and tribes as well as local governments. Looking back at the last seven plus years I have truly enjoyed my tenure as Forest Supervisor and I will miss all the relationships we have forged. I am looking forward to the new challenges ahead as Director of Engineering for the Region.”

The news release notes that Kelley is returning to his roots; he spent his first 20 years with the Forest Service working as an engineer. You can read more about that in the Journal’s 2007 profile of Kelley, “The Man from Alabama.”

Mendocino Deputy Killed

The suspect believed to have killed a Mendocino County Sheriff’s deputy March 19 was released from an Oregon jail two weeks earlier.

According to an article by the Associated Press, Oregon police arrested Ricardo Antonio Chaney after they reported finding firearms, body armor and methamphetamine in his car. But, according to the report, the Lane County District Attorney’s Office declined to press charges in the case, citing a lack of evidence, and released Chaney the day of his arrest. Two weeks later, Chaney was the prime suspect in a crime spree that ultimately left Mendocino County Sheriff’s deputy Ricky Del Fiorentino and Chaney dead of gunshot wounds.

After initially reporting that Chaney’s death appeared to have been a suicide, Mendocino County Sheriff Tom Allman has since said its believed Chaney sustained the fatal gunshot wounds in a shootout with deputies. Chaney is alleged to have traveled through Humboldt County in black BMW he stole from Eugene, Ore., and shot at a Confusion Hill business owner before fleeing into Mendocino County. According to the Associated Press story, Chaney has also been named a suspect in the killing of 79-year-old George Bundy Wasson in Eugene.

616 H STREET • EUREKA

was thrilled to run into my little cousin working at a gas station in Redway. After all, he’d been watering his meth-addled daddy’s plants from the time he could toddle.

Third generation of growers, I never expected him to get out. But there he was with his wide, cheeky grin, slinging highoctane coffee and unleaded gas, talking about going to College of the Redwoods next semester. I didn’t hug him so much as tackle him to the ground.

I can count on one hand the number of boys in my generation who left my small Southern Humboldt hometown and went on to college. Some moved to town, some even further away. But most took their high school diploma back to the hills with them and took up the trade they’d been taught from grade school onwards. It’s hard to blame them. A minimum wage job is poor competition for the kind of money a cash crop like illegal weed brings in.

We need to start talking about what’s going to happen to our boys when the green rush ends. We need to talk about it because they are just that, our boys, our boys in flat-brimmed hats and mudcovered trucks, our boys from Alderpoint to Honeydew to Orleans and all points in between. They grow the crop that translates to money that trickles down into our local stores and our local homes.

Many are like my cousin, several generations into the industry and conscripted into its culture from birth. Many have never needed bank accounts or resumes.

When the great experiment that is the wink-wink, nudge-nudge, hush-hush culture of illegal agriculture croaks its death rattle, brows will furrow over faltering businesses and diving home prices.

Statisticians and entrepreneurs will discuss how to fill the gap. And an entire generation that came of age in a time of fast money will in all likelihood become inheritors of systemic poverty.

Grow culture is just that — a culture — with a culture’s lore, etiquette and transitions and diffusions. The story of our boys is more complicated than a cautionary tale. For every one who ended up in jail, in prison or dead there’s another who came out on the other side with a young family and a small legal business, all funded by many seasons of patient work and savings. And for every diesel dope mega-grow blighting the view from my kitchen window, there’s a mom-andpop mini-grow whose sole intention is to finance a simpler life.

But that simpler life is getting harder and harder to finance. A subtle exodus has begun — the folks who arrived on the tail end of the California green boom intent on making their nest egg are packing up. Others are falling behind on their land payments. Still others are scaling up to make ends meet, just as we face an unprecedented drought and the industry comes under greater scrutiny for environmental impact.

And our boys? I see them fixing their trucks instead of just buying new ones, the way they used to when they were high school graduates earning a lawyer’s salary. I can’t help but wonder what’s going to happen to them once the bubble finally bursts. Will they go on unemployment? Will they get hired on by friends of friends and learn to punch a clock in the city? Will their skills and experience somehow transfer into the brave new world of legalized weed?

My little cousin, he got out but he didn’t stay out. The last time I saw him he was climbing out of a new truck with a running board that came up to his waist.

There were some gaps in his wide, cheeky grin. I still hugged him hard enough to break his ribs. I love our boys. l Linda Stansberry is a freelance journalist from Honeydew.

A SERENE AND DECAYING INDUSTRIAL LANDSCAPE. THESE TANKS WILL BE DEMOLISHED WHEN PULPING LIQUORS ARE FINALLY REMOVED.

After an earthquake shakes Humboldt, the Harbor District continues its push to avert looming disaster

ON THE COVER BLACK LIQUOR TANKS AT THE SAMOA PULP MILL.

1960

Story and photos by Grant Scott-Goforth 1970

1964 — The pulp mill is built by Georgia-Pacific on the Samoa Peninsula.

1965 — The mill begins operation.

1989 — Environmental groups sue Louisiana-Pacific, which now runs the mill, and the Simpson Paper Company, which runs another mill nearby, alleging the mills are daily discharging tens of millions of gallons of untreated wastewater into the ocean.

According to the suit, scientists found traces of a host of toxic chemical byproducts of the chlorine bleaching process, including dioxin and furan, in fish and crab samples from near the discharge sites.

hen the undulations of the March 9 earthquake rousted Jack Crider from his sleep, his first thoughts were the Samoa pulp mill; specifically, the nearly 3 million gallons of caustic fluids poised to spill out of old, failing storage tanks and into Humboldt Bay. Those liquors — remnants of the pulp mill’s production days — have been a threat to the bay for years, and even a gentle rolling earthquake like that one was enough to motivate Crider, CEO of the Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District, to put on his shoes, grab a flashlight and head down to the mill to look for leaks. He was the only one poking around the old tanks that night, but half a dozen concerned community members called him the next morning.

People are worried about those liquors.

A couple weeks later, Crider stands on a tarpaper surface 200 feet above the sands of the Samoa Peninsula, beaming at the structures and piles of rubble below as gusts of cold ocean air ruffle his hair.

He paces across the broad, flat roof of the Samoa pulp mill’s boiler, the hulking monolith unused since 2008 that once spewed stinky white steam into the air above Humboldt Bay. From the dizzying height of the county’s tallest building, Crider excitedly points out the improvements and potential of the 72-acre mill site that his agency acquired in August.

In that short time, the harbor district has gotten rid of and secured hazardous chemicals around the old mill. And a steady stream of trucks is scheduled to soon begin hauling the remaining pulping liquors — millions of gallons of ultra-basic

1980

1991 — The companies settle the suit, agreeing to pay a combined $5.8 million in penalties to the Environmental Protection Agency. Following the settlement, Simpson shutters its mill and LouisianaPacific converts its mill to a chlorine-free production process. In the ensuing years, Louisiana-Pacific sells the mill to a group of investors, which then re-sell the mill several times, with it ultimately landing in the hands of Stockton Pacific.

1990

2005 — The Chinese-owned Lee and Man Paper Co. purchases the pulp mill under the name of a subsidiary, Evergreen Pulp.

2006 — Environmental groups again sue the mill’s owners, this time alleging significant and ongoing violations of the mills federal air quality permit.

2007 — Evergreen settles the suit by agreeing to install a $1 million, state-of-the-art emissions control system.

2008 — Lee and Man Paper Co. sells Evergreen Pulp to a new investment group as the mill announces a temporary closure with plans to re-open in three to six months. During its ownership of the mill, Evergreen pours more than $40 million into improving the facility and remains profitable.

However, in 2008, the pulp market goes into steep decline and Evergreen falls delinquent on its bills, with some suppliers and contractors acquiring court liens.

FROM 200 FEET UP, HARBOR DISTRICT CEO JACK CRIDER SEES HEAPS OF POTENTIAL IN THE PULP MILL. THE DISTRICT IS IN NEGOTIATIONS TO SELL THE BOILER — BUILDING AND ALL — THAT CURRENTLY OFFERS THE HIGHEST MAN-MADE VANTAGE POINT ON HUMBOLDT BAY.

“I was out there earlier doing some work on Indian Island and the harbor district acquired the pulp mill and asked me to come over and take a look,” Calanog said. “I determined there was quite a bit of hazardous material and began to initiate an emergency response.”

By that point the tanks were nearly overflowing as years of rainwater had accumulated in them. But quick action was no guarantee — the federal sequester was about to begin.

“That was a time of real political turmoil,” said North Coast Congressman Jared Huffman. “When the concern about leakage arose it was at the worst possible time — it was right as we were heading into a government shutdown.”

Huffman said he and his staff pressed for federal funding on the site, “but to EPA’s credit they responded immediately — they understood what

was at stake here.”

The uncertainties didn’t end there. EPA began searching for a barge company that could transport the liquors — 3 million gallons, after some measurements — and a pulp mill that would accept them. One solution came from Capstone Paper in Longview, Wash., a town of about 36,000 on the Columbia River. The company will boil the liquors down and reuse them. No money will change hands over the liquors, Calanog said.

But shipping the liquors has been frustrating for the agencies and will be costly.

Anticipating that the liquors would be shipped by barge, the harbor district rebuilt its dock, brought in temporary tanks and laid down a large network of large black pipes. But the barge fell through.

Longview’s port demanded $800,000 worth of improvements in order to offload liquors there and coast guard-approved chemical barges are scarce on the West Coast, Crider said.

The EPA is still searching for a 2010 barge, but will begin shipping the liquors via truck by the beginning of April. The first 200 shipments are already scheduled — trucks will haul the liquors, about 2,500 gallons at a time up U.S. Highway 101 to Crescent City, along the twisting U.S. Highway 199 over the pristine 2013 — The Humboldt County Harbor, Smith River to Grants Pass and up Conservation and Recreation District acquires Interstate 5 to Longview. the mill site from Simpson at no cost, knowing “There’s additional risk with there are some 4 million gallons of caustic trucks, especially that many,” Crider pulping liquors on site that need to be removed. said, but it has to be done. “We’re Within months, the district has the federal just on borrowed time.”

Environmental Protection Agency inspect the The hauling will be just another site and it is immediately federalized as the EPA drop in the stream of around 2,000 initiates an emergency response to secure the trucks that come in and out of pulping liquors and plan for their removal.

chemicals — up to Washington, where they will be reused.

Crider and the harbor district aren’t the only ones relieved to see the liquors going — The Environmental Protection Agency and local oyster farmers are thrilled, too. And you should be, if you recreate on the bay, enjoy local shellfish or benefit from Humboldt County’s economy. Those chemicals, housed for the last six years in failing and nearly overflowing tanks, have been threatening the economy and health of Humboldt Bay, with every tremor or rainstorm increasing the danger.

But safety is nearly here, as well as a new life for the Humboldt Bay property.

When the harbor district acquired the pulp mill after a year of negotiations, the district board and staff knew they were in for a large project.

Concerned about the security of the estimated 4 million gallons of pulping liquors, the caustic fluid used to turn wood into pulp, the district asked EPA coordinator Steve Calanog to inspect the site.

2000

2009 — With Evergreen Pulp totally insolvent, Freshwater Pulp Co., led by Bob Simpson, purchases the mill with plans to get it up and running again.

2010 — Simpson announces he is unable to secure some $400 million in financing needed to re-open the mill and that it will be permanently closed.

continued from previous page harbor district and the hauling company have insurance in case of a spill. Trucking the entire liquors supply to Longview will cost $1.6 million, Crider said.

Peering over the dock as a crew worked on oyster equipment below, Taylor Mariculture Operations Manager Mitch White said getting the liquors away from Humboldt Bay is crucial. The oyster company is investing millions of dollars into the dock and warehouse facilities at the pulp mill — investments that could be ruined by a leak. White’s anxious for the cleanup.

“The sooner the better — for everybody,” he said.

If the tanks failed, the liquors would flow into the bay, Calanog explained, dramatically changing the pH and disrupting oyster production and the bay’s fragile ecosystem.

And the longer the liquors sit on the peninsula, the greater the risk. “There’s no telling how long it would take the bay to recover,” he said. “It would both be an environmental and economic disaster up there.”

As Calanog knows, a spill could prove catastrophic for one of the area’s emerging industries.

Though aquaculture remains a relatively small percentage of Humboldt County’s recorded economy, the county listed “fisheries, processing and aquaculture” as one of its nine industries to promote as part of its prosperity strategy. A 2010 survey reported that Humboldt Bay shellfish production totaled $9.3 million in sales, half of the bay’s total seafood value that year. Aquaculture made up 30 percent of the North Coast’s total $31.4 million in seafood landings, according to the survey.

in 2009, the company sought to recoup costs by selling off valuable copper wire, piping, steel and other reusable materials that made up much of the water, sewer and electrical infrastructure of the mill. Still, valuable assets remain on the property, and Crider is confident they will attract businesses who will invest in and lease space from the district.

Looking west, Crider pointed to a mileand-a-half pipeline into the Pacific, which could eventually discharge the entire peninsula’s wastewater. Below the boiler building sits an electrical substation and the site’s natural TAYLOR MARICULTURE IS INVESTING MILLIONS IN OYSTER gas pipeline — two important PRODUCTION AT THE SAMOA PULP MILL SITE, INCLUDING incentives for businesses, THE CONSTRUCTION OF THESE FLOATING OYSTER BEDS. Crider said.

To the east sit the mill’s massive warehouse space, dozens of offices, the mill’s operational generator and the dock. Still-functioning cranes dot the pulp mill’s landscape.

Taylor Mariculture has already built “flupsies,” large nursery rafts used to culture oysters in the bay. The accessibility of the dock will make for convenient “show and tell” opportunities for Taylor and others in the oyster industry, Crider said. strangely mild 6.8, caused no damage, it increased the harbor district’s urgency, Crider said.

Perched above the pulp mill grounds, Crider points out that there’s a lot of work still to be done. Once the liquors are shipped away, the EPA’s superfund people will remove the sludge and solids and dismantle the liquors tanks. The Harbor District also secured EPA brownfield funding to clean up less hazardous materials around the mill.

Even the dormant giant under Crider’s feet, the boiler that once cooked organics off of the liquors so they could be reused, may be valuable to the district. Crider said the agency is negotiating with a pulp mill in the Philippines to sell the boiler.

He expects the district can get around $2 million for it, money that would be used to help pay for the cleanup.

Final plans for the pulp mill are evolving, and depend on the businesses that will eventually land there. Potential uses dreamed up by the district include export of lumber and other goods, aquaculture and research, food and industrial manufacturing and a public dock. Crider thinks the district will have enough interested businesses that the most difficult part will be deciding what kind of uses are best for the mill site — and Humboldt County.

For more than 40 years, the mill site has lurked as one of the area’s most prominent landmarks. Crider visited Eureka as a fish buyer in the mid-’90s and distinctly remembers the odorous mill’s effect on the city.

Enamored with the area, he recalled thinking, “It really sucks about the pulp mill.”

In the years to come, the boxy, sooty boiler building, one of the most recognizable parts of the Humboldt Bay skyline in combination with the 300-foot-tall crimson-topped smokestack, may be gone for good. ●

he cherry blossoms drifting around town are seen in Japan as a symbol of life’s impermanence, all the more beautiful for their brevity. Just like crab sandwiches and specialty doughnuts.

Carpe Crab

When crab season opens during the holidays, we go wild, cracking and picking till our shirtfronts are flecked with meat and our bellies are full. But then we return to our busy schedules, and busting open a Dungeness on your desk is just impractical. The IT department might forgive a coffee spill on your keyboard, but trust me when I tell you techs are less forgiving of melted butter.

The answer is the crab sandwich.

Murphy’s Markets, beloved among aficionados, has already stopped selling them for the year. Did you miss its heavy-on-theleg-meat, tossed-with-mayo, 1/4-pound sandwich on Vellutini sourdough ($13.99) this year? Try to take it as a teaching moment and gather ye crab sandwiches while ye may.

On Fridays, Hole in the Wall (1331 Broadway, Eureka) whips up a creamy crab salad with crunchy celery and mayo on sourdough ($13.99). Minimalists may scoff, but the standard order comes with slivered red onion, lettuce, tomato and black pepper. The flavor of the crab comes through plenty, and the sandwich is hefty enough to share.

If you’re looking for the pure, briny sweetness of crab in to-go form, Myrtle Avenue Market (2500 Myrtle Ave., Eureka) just scoops ¼ pound of it onto mayo-swiped sourdough bread with some shredded lettuce ($8.99).

Flatten the bag for a plate, peel back the paper wrapping, prop your elbows on your desk and enjoy the fruits of North Coast waters.

Best of all, you won’t alienate co-workers with that pile of shells by your phone.

Doughnut Evolution Well over a year ago, the Cronut, a doughnut made from croissant pastry — let that sink in — brought New York City to its knees.

It’s taken this long for the flaky phenomenon to make it to Humboldt (not a huge surprise, given the lingering mullets around town), and it popped up in the most unlikely place: Safeway. Who saw that coming?

For $5, you can pick up a box of four and find out what happens when you deep fry an already buttery croissant and glaze it. The result is a delightfully chewy, puffy-layered cousin to the French cruller. While it’s still technically breakfast/office appropriate, it’s not out of the question to serve for dessert. With whipped cream. What? Like you weren’t thinking it.

Then, in the most important use of social media since the Arab Spring, a reader informed us via Facebook that Cherry Blossom Bakery (2940 F St., Eureka) has had croissant doughnuts for months ($2.25). I called ahead to put a hold on the last two of the day (not a bad idea, since they run out quickly).

Totally different doughnut. Instead of puffing up all springy and poofy, these are flattened and heavy. Don’t be put off — they are also buttery and rich, filled with thick, eggy custard and topped with chocolate glaze.

According to the lovely woman who bagged up the pastries, the baker occasionally gets “a wild hair” and experiments.

Take, for example, the Cherry Log, stuffed with cherry pie filling, glazed and dusted with cake crumbs; and a chocolate-glazed doughnut that’s fried with slightly salty peanut butter inside ($2.25 each). Pick up the latter if you have a pregnant woman in your life. But she’s going to need to grab a glass of milk and turn off her phone first — it’s a mouthful. l

A Doozy

So many shows make your head spin

By Jennifer Savage thesetlist@northcoastjournal.com

P

lease sit down. Don’t worry, you’ll be up soon enough. It’s just that I am about to spew so many your-options-in-live-music at you that if you’re standing, the sheer number might trigger a collapse. So, sit.

You’re probably sitting anyway, reading the print version at a coffeehouse or the digital version on your laptop. If you happen to be standing in line, looking at this on your phone (what did we do in line before phones?) then you may remain standing, but please take a moment to get centered before going forward. Do I sound delirious? Yes. That’s what trying to encapsulate all this week’s band happenings into 1,200 words does to a person.

Choice is stressful. Hopefully next week it’ll be all karaoke and lip-syncing. (Why is no one lip-syncing?! Get on that! Also, kidding.)

Choose-your-ownadventure Thursday

Let’s start in Eureka. Meskalito, a new Arcata funk ensemble, joins funk improv quintet Ultra Secret Good Guy Organization in support of Ashland’s moody alt rockers The Jawbone Club at the Palm

on sax, Matt Stevens on guitar and Justin Brown on drums. It’s $15, $10 for students.

The jazz theme continues with a Redwood Coast Jazz Festival performance

by Tommy Castro And The Painkillers — okay, so it’s not exactly jazz since Castro is famed for his signature brand of modern day rocking rhythm and blues, but the gig is part of the jazz fest, so do with that what you will. This show happens in the sweet confines of the Eureka Theater at 4:30 p.m., tickets are $25 to $85 and a full lineup is available at redwoodjazz.org and in the Journal’s Calendar section.

Saturday satisfaction

Humboldt’s dark new wave darlings Space Biscuit play The Palm Lounge with Arcata’s Wownd following some stand-up comedy with Ben Feldman. The funny stuff starts at 8 p.m., theoretically, and the music kicks off around 10 p.m. Cover is $5 from 8 to 9:30 then a $3 to $5 suggested donation.

Maybe you want to rock out with your flock out. “Flock” referring to the dedicated followers of Led Zeppelin and the four women who keep the passion, beauty and aggression of that band’s music alive. Yes, it’s Zepparella! at Humboldt Brews. Tickets are $20, recommended in advance. Showtime is 9:30 p.m. and, sorry kids, this one is a 21-and-over trip down memory lane.

If battling bass is more your thing, never fear, Arcata has that, too. Yes, KMUD, World Famous Productions and the Northern Nights Music Festival bring you Battle of the Bass III featuring Salva at the Portuguese Hall. Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door. Show starts at 8 p.m. and is 21-and-over.

What about Germanic deep house future thizz, you ask? No problem! Take yourself on out to the Alibi where ZORDON will offer exactly that. Cover is only $2! Show is 21-and-over, of course, and will start 11 p.m.-ish.

Austin heroine Carrie Rodriguez and renowned roots fiddler Luke Jacobs perform at Arcata Playhouse in support of their new album Live At The Cactus. Tickets are $15 general and $13 students. Show starts at 8 p.m.

Livetronica pioneers Particle are best known for marathon sets at Coachella, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and the Austin City Limits Music Festival. The band combines a full light show and multimedia production with a signature mix of highenergy dance music, rock and funk. Catch them at Humboldt Brews starting around 9:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 and the show is 21-and-over.

If you’re in the mood for excellent and sophisticated jazz, know that anything connected to the Redwood Jazz Alliance is the real deal. RJA’s spring season continues with rising star bassist Linda Oh at 8 p.m. in HSU’s Fulkerson Recital Hall. All About Jazz calls Oh’s latest work, Sun Pictures, “an album of achingly fragile beauty.”

Tuesday talent show

Pianist, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist producer Marco Benevento, a man who has never suffered from lack of talent and whom you might know from Garage A Trois, Surprise Me Mr. Davis and numerous other bands, brings his legacy of experimental jazz and rock to the Jambalaya. It’s $12, $10 advanced and The Getdown will apparently be playing, too. The show gets going

Lounge. Show starts at 9 p.m., is free (tips appreciated, touring costs!) and 21-andover.

Moving over to A-town, Arcata megapoppers The Wild Lungs join Eureka acoustic punks TheBoredAgain at the Jambalaya. Revel in the intangible beginning at 10 p.m. Cover’s $3, show is 21-andover.

Maybe you want to experience a “beat.” Head into the Arcata Theatre Lounge, where the sexified and infectious melodies of The Polish Ambassador will emanate from the stage, along with Liminus featuring the folk songwriter-electronic music composer pairing of Wildlight (the press kit promises Wildlight will “jumpstart a party into a syncopated bounce”), classically trained composer, producer and trumpet player Saqi and loop pedal goddess Ayla Nereo. Warm up by downloading the Ambassador’s 10-album, 30-remix discography for free at thepolishambassador.com. Doors open at 9:30 p.m., tickets are $17 advanced and $20 general, available at People’s Records, Wildberries and The Works. This show is 21-and-over.

around 9 p.m. It’s 21-and-over, natch.

And as if to prove that Tuesdays can never be boring, Emancipator Ensemble, Slow Magic and Nym keep the groove going at Arcata Theatre Lounge. Think electronic, sampling and plenty of beats, beats, beats. Doors open at 9:30 p.m.

Tickets are $15 advance and available at People’s Records, Wildberries, The Works and this show is 21-and-over.

Wednesday, yes, Wednesday

We get email. “I’m Ann from Darsombra. We are an audio-visual live performance experience (a band!), and we’ve got a show coming up in Eureka at the Ink Annex. The show is part of an eightweek cross-country tour and it marks the 20th anniversary of my bandmate Brian Daniloski’s first tour around the country with his old band Meatjack. That was so long ago that they were booking the tour during the tour from pay phones!”

Daniloski alternates between searing guitar riffs, leads, loops, mammoth vocal swells and soundscapes. It’s one part metal, one part psychedelic rock, one part experimental with dashes of prog, glam and krautrock. Filmmaker Ann Everton projects her kinetic, psychotropic videos specifically composed to Daniloski’s music, engulfing the audience within the trip, as well as providing occasional accompaniment on vocals and synthesizer.

Your final show features the guitar brilliance of Scott Pemberton, a musician often compared to Jimi Hendrix, Dick Dale and James Brown, who will be pleased to entertain you at Humboldt Brews for a mere $10 at the door. Show starts at 9 p.m. and is 21-and-over.

“Natural Dams and the River Dis-Continuum.” 5:30 p.m. Science Building B, Room 135, Humboldt State

It’s a Toss Up Leave your jokes about clown college at the door — Jamie Coventry and Natasha Kaluza have the sort of hand-eye coordination usually reserved for surgeons and super heroes. They take clowning to a level so high you almost don’t want to be afraid of clowns. The San Francisco Circus Center Clown Conservatory graduates are about more than just pratfalls and seltzer bottles (though, they aren’t above that sort of ridiculousness). They’re acrobats, jugglers and theatrical comedians.

On Sunday, March 30 at 6:30 p.m., the crafty and capable Coventry and Kaluza are performing in the Goodwin Forum at Humboldt State University (free). The two-hour, family friendly show is chockablock with spectacle, hilarity and entertainment for all ages. In addition to slapstick vignettes with a modern twist, they have some razzledazzle tricks up their sleeves: knife juggling, extreme hula hooping and bizarre acrobatics.

Sure, they’ll toss some conventional clowning into the mix for the sake of tradition, but don’t expect tiny cars or squirting flowers. These clowns aren’t of the birthday party variety. Their skills and thrills have made them two-time winners of the Best Comedy/Clown Act at the American Circus Festival and (in case you missed it) they juggle knives.

Coventry and Kaluza wont hog all of the fun, though.

The audience can contribute by donning a costume or at least a silly hat. The night’s merriment breeds more tomfoolery with all of the proceeds from concessions going to the Humboldt Juggling Festival, which takes place April 11-13. Because clowning is the gift that keeps on giving.

Divergent Conforms Muppets keep it muppety

Reviews

DIVERGENT. The need for yet another dystopian near-future, teen-centric melodrama is dubious at best. Not only has the theme been covered exhaustively in recent years, but it reeks of millennial pandering and uninspired adaptation. It’s as if studios that missed the brass ring, failing to acquire the rights to Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games juggernaut, were left sucking their teeth. Apparently, the only way to market movies to young adults these days is to adapt a new, successful novel (series!), as faithfully (read: literally) as possible. Hollywood dodged a bullet when Veronica Roth’s Divergent saga became a mega-seller. The rusty gears of production creaked once more into motion for one more obvious cash grab. But I digress.

In a post-apocalyptic Chicago, society struggles on, divided into five distinct factions. Each is responsible for the administration of some vital sphere: farming, soldiering, arbitration, etc. When children come of age, they take a chemical test to help them decide on their path in adulthood. Some, like our heroine Beatrice, (Shailene Woodley) have mental faculties March 28 April 2

outside the restrictions of the test. They are called divergent, and must hide their true identities and toe the line, lest they be caught up in a nebulous totalitarian witchhunt. Beatrice, born into a family dedicated to selflessness and service, elects the soldier’s life. It’s not easy going at first, but Beatrice proves herself the better woman, rising above the taunts of classmates with social and genetic advantages — and her own shortcomings — to move up through the ranks. Along the way, she uncovers some sinister plans for cross-factional genocide, young love and the measure of her own strength.

Divergent relies almost entirely on its production design and cinematography — both striking — for its storytelling momentum. Unfortunately, this means that a rather straightforward narrative plays out predictably against an attractive backdrop.

Woodley is a capable, appealing actor (her turn in The Spectacular Now absolutely gutted me) but she’s still pretty new to this.

With that earlier movie as counterpoint, it seems she needs the help of an insightful, involved director: someone who can help her get to the emotional center of a character and dig out the real person in there.

She’s got the talent to do it, but in the case of Divergent, no one is pitching in to make it happen. PG13. 139m.

MUPPETS MOST WANTED. I love the Muppets — who doesn’t? They are a part of the fabric of my childhood security blanket. So I can’t quite make up my mind when it comes to these new Muppet movies. On one hand, the thought that they will bring joy to new generations of movie lovers, and maybe warm the hearts of their rapidly aging parents makes me feel pretty good. And I think co-writer/director James Bobin (Flight of the Conchords) has pure intentions: His love and respect for these puppet oddballs is evident in every frame.

But Disney owns the Muppets now, Jim Henson is long dead, and my cynical side

conjures up images of a cartoon mouse with dollar signs in his eyes trying to reanimate a corpse. Maybe that’s just me.

Picking up immediately after the triumphant closing number from The Muppets (2011), Most Wanted finds our heroes contemplating a break to write and rehearse new material. Into their midst swaggers “talent agent” Dominic Badguy (Ricky Gervais), with a convincing pitch for a European tour and an ulterior motive. Having busted out of the Gulag, Badguy’s partner Constantine — the world’s most dangerous frog and a dead-ringer for Kermit — plans to get the band back together for a series of heists, culminating in the theft of the British crown jewels. The Muppets touring show provides the perfect cover and a fall-group.

Because it’s faithful to the characters and spirit of Muppetry, I can’t fault Most Wanted. It lacks some of the transcendence, the all-encompassing feeling of the original movies, but then again, I’ve done some aging and skin thickening in the intervening decades. At any rate, this is undeniably fun, funny and charming. It delivers some satisfying cameos, particularly by Ty Burrell as a dim-witted French inspector and Tina Fey as a weirdly obsessed Russian prison guard. The ending won’t surprise anyone, but that won’t stop you from having a good time. PG. 112m.

2014 OSCAR NOMINATED ANIMATED SHORT FILMS. With my luck, these will have vanished from the Minor by the time anyone reads this. But, on the off chance I’m wrong, they’re worth a look. I didn’t find them as compelling as the live action shorts (although the in-between material is a lot funnier), but they are another testament to the refusal of the imagination to submit in the Roman coliseum that is the movie industry.

Two of the shorts, which couldn’t be more different in form or narrative, tied for my vote. Feral, an American entry,

uses impressionistic black and white art naïf to tell the scary, lyrical story of a boy raised in the wild, adopted by a hunter and brought into human society: ambiguous, pretty and vaguely disturbing. Possessions, from Japan, is reminiscent of Miyazaki’s most magical realism, telling the story of a traveling handyman in the Edo period. He takes shelter in an abandoned shrine and is haunted all night by the colorful ghosts of inanimate objects: humorous, pretty and distinctly Japanese in its tone and technique. NR. 102m.

HIRISE 2009 IMAGE TAKEN NEAR THE MARTIAN NORTH POLE. THE DARK STREAKS ARE LANDSLIDES OF BASALT SAND OVERLYING DUNES COVERED WITH WHITE FROZEN CARBON DIOXIDE (DRY ICE).

NASA PHOTO

Trees on Mars

By Barry Evans

fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com

“

T

hat looks like a face!” What started out as a bit of whimsy based on a 1976 photo from a NASA Mars orbiter quickly morphed into a full-blooded new-age/extraterrestrial phenomenon. The “Face on Mars” became the centerpiece of theories about an ancient Martian civilization. Only with the release of 100-timeshigher resolution photographs in 2006, which showed the face to be simply an eroded hill, did the hoax finally die away.

All of which should be a giveaway that this week’s headline comes under the “bait-and-switch” category. Much as I would love to report otherwise, there are no trees on Mars. Nary a one, not even in the accompanying photograph taken in 2009 by the same camera that put to rest the “face” malarkey, NASA’s High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) instrument on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Since 2006, this camera has added immeasurably to our knowledge of Mars. HiRISE is the most powerful camera ever launched to another planet. From its nominal orbit of about 500 miles above Mars, it captures the surface at a resolution of about 1 foot, three times finer than Google Maps’ 1-meter resolution images of Earth. In addition, stereo pairs of HiRISE photos allow the Martian topography to be mapped at better than 1-foot elevation, which is hugely useful for planning landing sites for ground explorers.

Incidentally, HiRISE showed off its capabilities last year when it captured Curiosity’s landing. Curiosity — by far the

most capable Mars rover to date — spent part of its “Seven Minutes of Terror” landing sequence dangling under a huge parachute. Check out HiRISE’s extraordinary image via the link in this article at northcoastjournal.com.

This HiRISE photograph, released in Jan. 2010, shows sand dunes coated with a thin layer of frozen carbon dioxide, or dry ice, near Mars’ North Pole. The “trees” are actually seasonal 100-foot-long landslides composed of dark basaltic sand sliding down the dunes. Every spring, this pattern repeats as sublimating carbon dioxide ice (transitioning from solid to gas without an intermediate liquid phase) dislodges surrounding dust and sand particles. The dunes in the photo are part of a nearly complete ring of sand around Mars’ north pole. In most places, the sand is covered by a thin layer of reddish Martian dust and patches of dry ice.

Sadly, at this point, we have zero evidence of any type of biology on Mars, living or dead, past or present. As for the future, forests feature in all the “dream big” plans to eventually terraform Mars (i.e. transform it into an Earth-like planet).

Trees, of course, naturally convert carbon dioxide into oxygen, offering a biological solution to the challenge of creating a breathable atmosphere on the planet.

So for now, no trees on Mars. For the future ... oh yeah. I promise. ● Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo.com) will be taking along a sack of seeds when he’s selected for a one-way mission to Mars.

Left to right: (Back) Luke Vegnani, Sonny Wong, Shari Hullings “Locked Up,” Luis “Nando” Molina, Thomas Carter, Luci Ramirez and Mark Harlan. (Front) David Jenkins, Rex Atienza and Jamie Bazan. The roasting process at Humboldt Bay Coffee.

Murphy’s Salutes Humboldt Bay Coffee Every Tuesday a group of creative, happy people sit at a big round table in the middle of their office to enjoy a homemade lunch together while the magnificent aroma of roasting Humboldt Bay Coffee wafts out into the salty sea air of Old Town Eureka.

Now that’s a corporate lunch!

At the table is Luci Ramirez, who was a bookkeeper for HB Coffee. In 2013 she had the opportunity to buy the company. That’s when she and her husband Thomas Carter decided to go into the coffee business.

Thomas, not pictured, was raised in Carlotta.

His grand and great-grandparents were loggers. Luci spoke on his behalf saying that he is an artist at heart but his pride and joy is his grandfather’s 1927 Willy’s Knight sedan, a car with wooden wheels, no less.

Later in the year, Mark Harlan, a sailor hailing from Indiana, came in as a partner.

He teaches youth sailing through the Humboldt Yacht Club and is in charge of sales for the company. But, if you need a shed built, somehow, he is your go to guy.

Thomas owns HumSheds and Mark works there, too.

Shari Hullings moved here in 1999 to

attend HSU where received her English degree. She skates with the awesome Humboldt Roller Derby team and her moniker is Locked Up! Jaime Bazan moved to Humboldt in 1996 and with his many years in the food industry, restaurants and grocery markets, he with his big perpetual grin, is a natural fit at Humboldt Bay Coffee.

Rex Atienza has been in town since 2003 and is recognizable to many as the Humboldt Rockers guy. He teaches all-age break dancing and is known, sometimes, as Reckless Rex. Then there is David Jenkins, who also came here for HSU. He is so well versed in roasting that he seems to speak Coffee!

He speaks about green coffee buyers, Sumatran beans, how Humboldt Bay Coffee does the roast and cup ritual to decide what beans fit their “mellow not aggressive” compatible blends and speaks of coffee profiles. Whew!

Is everyone at Humboldt Bay Coffee just outrageously colorful?

Nando Molina is such a comedian that the company has told him he has to stop

telling jokes when he answers the phone!

He has a few stand-up comedy shows, including at Cher-Ae Heights, on his resume and even with his HSU journalism degree, he says, “I swore off newspaper work and now… I’m just a coffee guy.”

“Beyond our love of coffee roasting, we have chosen to work with other Humboldt Made businesses to make collaborative products,” says Luci. “The first joint product was Mud Pie with Dick Taylor Chocolate and Natural Decadence. Yummy! The next was Sour Mash Coffee Porter brewed with Humboldt Bay Coffee by Regeneration Brewery in McKinleyville. We also roast for private specialty labels. We will also be launching our Artist series labels that will change every three months. We’re looking for entries!”

“Our business,” says Mark, “includes restaurants, corporate accounts and grocery stores. So now when you do your grocery shopping you can pick up a bag of Humboldt Bay Coffee at all Murphy’s Markets. Thanks Murphy’s!”
