Who is HumCPR? Editor: Hurrah and thank you for Ryan Burns’ superb article (“HumCPR Rising,” March 28) that finally answers the question, “What is the real objective of this organization?”

I think the Journal’s timing is spot on.

If this expose had appeared before these two HumCPR foxes were appointed to the Planning Commission hen house, the article might have received scant notice and been forgotten shortly thereafter.

Now the details of HumCPR’s origins, together with the real estate stakes held

by Mr. Ulansey and Mr. Morris, and the risk they pose to a General Plan that preserves Humboldt County for all of us (not just developers and realtors), should inspire every voter to watch the actions of the Planning Commission and the General Plan Update very, very closely.

In his pre-Planning Commission days, when he launched his periodic brickbats at the Planning Department or the Board of Supervisors, Mr. Ulansey struck me as a Humboldt County character with a flair for the dramatic … a modern-day Don Quixote jousting the windmills of government. Now — thanks to your article — we know there’s an agenda: make the General Plan as weak, watered down and as pro-unfettered-development as possible.

We may have to tolerate shadow advocacy firms involved with our federal government, and a nihilist attitude in the Republican House: “We don’t need no stinkin’ [fill in the agency or organization of choice: EPA, OSHA, Consumer Finance Protection Bureau, CPB, NPR]!” We don’t have to — we should not have to — tolerate this same attitude, evasiveness, and deception in Humboldt County.

Thanks for asking the real Lee Ulansky, Bob Morris (and Supervisor Estelle Fennell, whose evasiveness is particularly reprehensible) to stand up. All of Humboldt County should insist they do so.

Editor: Since the Journal’s high-piled righteousness dwarfs mere fairness, I can’t share many of my thoughts on Ryan Burn’s odd article about HumCPR, which implied that fundraising and candidate-recruiting is immoral if done by anyone but Mark Lovelace. (Where did you come from, Clif Clendenen?) Oh well. I’ll use my 300 words to play Marcy Burstiner, explaining one of Ryan’s techniques on frequent display, for the amusement of readers. It’s called the dog whistle.

Dog whistles in politics are manipulative coded messages, perceived by the target market but unnoticed by many others, originally used for race-baiting in the South. Ryan works his whistle hard, delivering his first blow in his headline: HumCPR isn’t a citizen’s group, it’s a corporation. So Lovelace et al’s 501(c)(3) corporations — which secretly (“below the radar”) got paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to inflict policy excesses upon rural Humboldt by other, out-ofstate corporations — are transparent corporations now? Pretty subtle stuff, from a paper published by an untransparent corporation. You might think only the most unthinking, blinkered zealots could take such silly labeling seriously. But that’s who Ryan’s high-pitching to.

Speaking of gratuitous insults — not just of Journal readers, using false stereotypes — as Ryan knows but readers wouldn’t, it’s because I’ve worked several jobs for so long that I can advocate for responsible ag practices and watershed protections in our county’s biggest industry. While I don’t expect fairness from a hatchet job, identifying me purely as a HumCPR-supporting pot farmer (in journalistic quotes, as if secondhand stigma’s less cheesy than a direct dog whistle) illustrates fun facts: Karl Rove-style politics of division targeted at conservatives

Stop Cutting Health Care

Editor: “RNs picketing for patient care,” “safe staffing now,” “some cuts don’t heal” — these words haunt me. I have been complaining about this for years (“Picketing for Help,” March 21). The core of this issue goes back to March 16, 2011, when AB 97 passed the state Legislature. The bill created a 10 percent reduction on almost all Medi-Cal health services, then this cut was back-dated 2½ years! This bill also acknowledged two previous rate reductions the Legislature had just approved. One rate cut piled on top of another.

This bill also eliminated several MediCal services, including Adult Day Health Care, over-the-counter nutrition products and over-the-counter cough and cold products. It also created a “soft cap” on the number of physician and clinic visits to just seven visits per patient per year.

The purpose of this was to save $1.5 billion per year on the backs of the most vulnerable poor and disabled in California.

Hospitals and medical facilities have been closing, and physicians and medical personnel have been leaving rural communities and the state itself because of these continuous reductions. All these cuts come at a time when costs are skyrocketing. Every time the state needs to cut the budget, it cuts health care.

The Long and Short of it

Final payments could be made soon in 50-year-old lawsuit

By Heidi Walters

heidiwalters@northcoastjournal.com

T

his month, a federal claims court judge approved a settlement agreement that may finally lay to rest the interminably long Jessie Short case, in which thousands of mainly Yurok Tribe members are owed money stemming from a 50-year-old lawsuit.

Now, almost all that’s left is the checkcutting — but that will come after attorneys finish sifting through hundreds of bankers’ boxes to verify who has or hasn’t been paid yet, says Yurok Tribal Attorney

John Corbett. Among those still owed are Humboldt County Supervisor Ryan Sundberg and other heirs of folks who died waiting for their checks.

The settlement OK’d by the judge on April 3 was between Citibank and the plaintiffs in “Jessie Short, et al, v. The United States,” over a dispute that arose sometime in the last decade (we’ll get to that in a bit).

But the case itself was filed in 1963 by Jessie Short, a Yurok Indian, and several thousand other primarily Yurok people who said they

6 North Coast Journal • Thursday, April 11, 2013 • northcoastjournal.com

had been denied their share of revenues from timber sales from the Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation.

At the time, the Yurok people had shared the reservation with the Hupa people — in fact, the reservation was 70 percent Yurok and 30 percent Hupa, according to legal documents in the case. The Hupa lived on what was called the Hoopa Square, the Hupa’s original, 12-square-mile reservation established in 1864, where all the timber was cut. The Yurok primarily lived on a strip of land, a mile wide on each side of the Klamath River, which extended from the square to the ocean and had been added to the Hoopa Valley Reservation in 1891. That strip of land was called “the addition.”

Since 1955, the federal government had been making annual timber payments to each person officially enrolled as a member of the Hoopa Valley Tribe — an organization that had formed in 1950 and excluded people who lived on the addition. Those addition dwellers were Jessie Short and his fellow plaintiffs.

In 1988, under the Hoopa-Yurok Settlement Agreement, the square and the addition were separated legally from each other into two reservations, and the Yurok Tribe formed its own government.

It wasn’t until 1993 that the Short lawsuit was finally — sort of finally — settled, says

Corbett, with about 2,000 plaintiffs being awarded damages and interest. A judgment trust was created, and since then checks trickled out to the plaintiffs or their heirs.

There have been 42 disbursements of payments so far. Now three more payment distributions are left.

About $1.5 million — the 43rd and 44th — will be divvied up among people who have only received one of their two promised checks so far.

And $1.9 million— the 45th — will be divided among people who were supposed to receive checks back in 1996 and 1997 but said they never got them. That’s the Citibank dispute — the bank says it distributed the checks. But it couldn’t produce proof of canceled checks, says Corbett.

The bank agreed to settle. Because there’s not enough money left in the trust — the 1996 and 1997 funds are gone — the beneficiaries will share about half of what had been owed them, comprised of what’s left in the fund plus $1 million thrown into the pot by Citibank “to cover any alleged wrongdoing in recordkeeping in its actions as trustee,” says Corbett.

It’s one of the longest running cases in federal claims court. The plaintiffs have had several different attorneys. Corbett’s only been on the case three years. In the recent legal notice to yet-to-be paid beneficiaries,

explaining that a judge would soon hear their case, he signed off by telling them that their “50 years of patience” was much appreciated.

The number of people who will get paid, and therefore what they’ll receive, is still being determined.

“We’re still going through boxes of bank records and having people come up to us saying, ‘No, I was paid already,’” Corbett said.

Among the certain payees will be Ryan Sundberg and his mom, Cheryl SundbergGrooms. Sundberg-Grooms’ husband at the time, Marshall (Ryan Sundberg’s dad), was one of the original plaintiffs in the case. He died in 1990, before any checks had been sent out.

“I remember my parents talking about it,” Sundberg said. “It was always a long-running joke. My dad would say, ‘Well, when I get my Indian money …’ It took so long, it was forever — years and years.”

Sundberg said he thinks he and his mom will each get about $1,000. He doesn’t know what happened back in 1996 and 1997, except that after his dad died, he said, things got chaotic. Some checks went out to his siblings, he said, because they’ve been paid.

And he was just a kid.

He said his mom, hearing she had a check coming, called it “a nice surprise.” l

MEDICAL, UNIONS / BY HEIDI WALTERS / APRIL 9, 10:40 A.M.

Nurses Set Stage for Possible Strike St. Joseph Hospital nurses voted last week to authorize a strike — but that doesn’t mean they’re about to strike. It means they’ve handed their nurse representatives a big cudgel to raise high in threat above the bargaining table where they’ve sat for weeks haggling with hospital administration over their new contract.

“It’s used as a tool to move things along at the table,” said registered nurse Kathryn Donahue. “If the issues are not addressed to our satisfaction, the nurses at the table can give a 10-day notice of a strike.”

Donahue is the local shop steward for the California Nurses Association, one of the unions that represents nurses within the St. Joseph Hospital System.

Last month, hundreds of nurses picketed outside several St. Joseph hospitals in northern California, calling attention to

a slew of issues they have with staffing, which they allege compromises patient safety.

Donahue said 75 percent of the bargaining unit — the nurses represented by the union — voted last week, and 98 percent of them voted “yes” to authorizing the strike. There are no bargaining dates this month; the two sides meet next in May, when there are six dates set for negotiations. So, said Donahue, May is probably the soonest that anything will happen. ● CRIME, ENVIRONMENT, REDWOODS /

Marijuana’s Tipping Point?

For the first time in 44 years of polling on the issue (and no doubt a lot longer than that), a majority of Americans think that Humboldt County’s No. 1 cash crop oughta be legal, according to a national survey released today by the Pew Research Center.

Public opinion has been headed this way for a while. Even so, these results are fairly eyebrow-raising. They show a dramatic and rapid shift in attitudes about the “devil weed.” Support for legalization has jumped by 11 percentage points since

2010, the year that Californians (and HumCo voters alike) shot down Prop. 19.

Way more people (48 percent) now say they’ve tried marijuana compared to a decade ago (38 percent). Only 38 percent of people consider pot a “gateway” to harder drugs, compared to 60 percent in 1977. And fewer than one in three people think marijuana use is immoral, compared to half of folks in 2006.

And perhaps most ominous for drug war hardliners (we’re looking at you, Melinda Haag) is this dank nugget: Substantial majorities of both Republicans (67%) and Democrats (71%) also say federal enforcement of marijuana laws is not worth the cost.

This sea change in public opinion is looking more and more like an unstoppable force, and it’s colliding with the immovable object of federal drug schedules. Something’s gotta give. ●

Re-Imagining CR

State’s new mission distresses fans of music, drama and historic preservation

ON THE COVER KJELD LYTH, CR DRAMA INSTRUCTOR, PARTS BACKSTAGE CURTAINS TO REVEAL A WALL. PHOTO BY HEIDI WALTERS

K

jeld Lyth flicked on the main lights inside College of the Redwoods’ new multi-million dollar Performing Arts Theater and strode agitatedly in, pointing out annoyances: noisily flushing toilets in the bathrooms that might disrupt quieter theatrical moments; loud fans in the back of the theater, which could make hearing difficult from the rear rows; large pockets of darkness where the spotty audience lighting failed to penetrate.

Lyth hit some switches and brilliant rows of colorful lights beamed down on the stage. There are 119 of the beauties and each one cost $261 — Broadway could do no better, Lyth said. He did not look pleased. He swept around and walked to the back of the stage, parting the black curtain in the middle to reveal, inches away, a stark, white wall. There should be a space there, not a wall, he said — space for dressing rooms, for building and storing sets, for moving set pieces around during a performance, for actors to hang out when they’re not on stage or to move unseen across the stage to reposition during a performance. To reach the dressing room — for there is a small one, behind the wall — performers would have to exit side stage and double back.

“If ever there was a conflict between design and function, this is an example,” Lyth said. Then he pointed at the bulky, boxy lectern planted stage right. “All

By Heidi Walters they ever intended with the new space,” he accused, “was to have it be a multipurpose facility for special guest speakers and PowerPoint presentations.” With extravagant stage lights, he added.

You might forgive Lyth, who’s the college’s only on-faculty drama instructor — although part-time, at that — for sounding frustrated. In early February, he and other faculty learned that their programs might suffer reductions. A month later it was official: In a March 15 news release, the college administration announced it was reducing some course offerings so it could add others. It cited financial challenges and a mandate from the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office to focus on “three core missions — degree transfer, career technical education and basic skills programs in English and math.”

Additions, beginning with the summer and fall semesters, would occur not just in math and Enghlish, but in such subjects as speech, biology, sociology, psychology and Native American studies. Among the trims would be sections or courses in foreign language (French, German and Japanese), construction technology — including within the popular and unique Historic Preservation and Restoration Technology program — and anthropology.

Also, the music program would be hit hard, losing half of its offerings — mostly performance classes, including concert band, jazz ensemble, wind ensemble, chorale and opera production. (Core music courses needed by music majors to transfer to a four-year university would not be cut.) And the entire drama program would be closed, at least for now.

When the administration announced the cuts — calling them suspensions, implying some could be revitalized later — it noted that some of these classes might be offered instead as community education courses. Those courses can’t be taken for credit, and students’ fees pay the instructors’ wages.

Lyth doubted his non-degree program would be brought back. “They’ve thrown me and the program under the bus — the whole thing,” he said, standing in the new theater on a recent late-March morning.

Lyth is slender, and his simple, dark clothes and thin beard, sideburns and moustache lend him a dignified-swashbuckler air. He’s been with the drama program for 34 years, and is the principal instruc-

tor, although several non-faculty instructors have taught courses over the years as well. He and Ed Macan, chair of the music and drama programs, question the administration’s methods for choosing which courses and programs to reduce — methods that involved looking at course enrollment figures and financial viability, but also at whether courses and programs suited the new priorities of the California Community College Chancellor’s Office.

Were drama and music performance not important? Because, they said, they certainly weren’t a financial burden.

Macan, the lone full-time tenured music faculty member, had crunched some numbers and determined that from 2006 through 2012, with the exception of one year, enrollment in the music courses being cut was high enough to generate two times the amount of money that the college spent on them. That’s a 110 percent profit-to expense margin, he wrote in a document he gave the administration in defense of sustaining music and drama.

“Drama, meanwhile, generated an incredible 202 percent profit/expense margin,”

Ever since

those full-time equivalents have gone up and down in the past decade, but sometimes hovered close to 6,000: 5,700 in 2001-2002; 5,592 in in 2008-09 and 5,967 in 2009-10. By 2011-12, though, there were 4,709.

The enrollment upswing a few years ago, under then-president Jeff Marsee, is one of the things that hurt College of the Redwoods, said current president Kathryn Smith in a recent phone interview at which DeMark also was present. Smith became president in May 2012.

“It was bad timing,” she said, careful not to place blame on any one person.

“We did have a decline in enrollment, and the board asked the president at the time to increase enrollment. Generally, if your enrollment goes up, you get paid more money. But as the college was growing enrollment, state finances were declining. And the state quit paying for those extra students.”

That’s when the college began dipping into its reserves to pay for the extra faculty hired to teach the extra students, Smith said. And it began cutting courses and course sections. That led to many students being put on wait lists to get into classes, especially math and English.

Meanwhile, operating expenses keep rising — salaries and health benefits having the biggest impact, but also utilities.

Many of these are costs, said Smith, the college has no control over. Faculty and classified staff get automatic annual raises, for instance, according to their union-negotiated contracts. To add to the college’s duress, for several years now it has been under threat of losing its accreditation; this spring it narrowly kept it. Some of the issues have been whether the college is adequately assessing how students are doing and using the information to improve their “outcomes” — a big worry in a state with declining college success rates — continued on next page northcoastjournal.com • North Coast Journal • Thursday, April 11, 2013

continued from previous page and whether the college’s institutional structure is efficient, cohesive and able to support the institution financially into the future. DeMark said the college has had to hire a special trustee and accreditation and financial consultants, adding to costs (he wasn’t immediately able to specify how much).

These financial troubles

affect students the most, of course. In 2010, the state community colleges’ Board of Governors convened a task force to figure out how to fix the problems facing community colleges, so they could improve student success. That led to the Student Success Act of 2012, passed by the Legislature in August 2012 and signed

by Gov. Jerry Brown that September. It required community colleges to focus more resources on students with specific career- or higher-education goals, and to counsel new students, forming an education plan for each of them. The aim is to help more students finish college, and more quickly.

The act also puts the brakes on funding classes with high “repeatability” — ones people tend to take for

fun and repeat often. These are often called “lifelong learning” classes. Under the act, the state will no longer include multiple-repeats of certain courses in its FTES calculations. That means no money for those multiple repeats, which occur especially in physical education, performing and fine arts courses.

“Our revised mission is basic skills — reading, writing and math, for students who are unprepared coming out of high school — and on career technical education, and on transfer classes — those classes for your degree that you’re hoping to transfer to four-year schools,” Smith said. The Chancellor’s Office was pushing these priorities even before the

Student Success Task Force issued its recommendations, she added. “They have taken the lifelong learning prong out of the mission.”

She said this push is part of a national movement to re-vision how community colleges are funded, stemming in part from frustration that some people, for example, were repeating physical education courses to avoid paying health club fees. “Taxpayers were subsidizing them, because student fees don’t cover the full cost of the class,” Smith said. “And at some community colleges, classes were basically high school football practice.”

The new focus, Smith reiterated, is aimed at helping get people more quickly

“out into the workforce so they can contribute to the economy of the state of California.”

Smith said there would be no official reprimands from the Chancellor’s Office — or the accreditation folks — for not following the priorities detailed in law.

But, she said, it is possible that if the college doesn’t use state funds to build up its course offerings in the priority classes, students waiting to get into them might give up — thereby affecting student learning outcomes. That could cause a big public outcry, she said, which might bring the accreditation folks back to sniff around again.

long been multifaceted institutions.

Under the 1960 Master Plan for Higher Education, they were supposed to be where anybody over 18 could access education. Courses were free, requirements minimal. Even now, with course fees in place and rising, it’s generally cheaper to go to community college to get the basics out of the way before entering a spendier four-year university. And, yes, community colleges were intended to help get people into the workforce. But they also have long been where the community can go for personal enrichment — to take a painting or a Pilates class, for instance, or play in a band.

Now that’s changing.

percent pay cut that could save the college $1.6 million annually, Smith said. The college’s trustees eliminated their monthly $240 stipend and have begun contributing $295 a month to their health benefits plan.

First, after Smith and college trustees conferred, they weeded out courses or programs with low enrollment that aren’t paying for themselves — the state allocates funds based on enrollment. These included some construction technology, fire technology, business technology and anthropology classes.

Second, they cut courses or programs that didn’t fit the Chancellor’s Office mandate to focus on basics, even if, like drama and music performance, they were well-enrolled, had high completion rates and made more money than was spent on them.

Community members who want to be in a band or a theater company have other options, she said — theater and music groups in town they can join.

“But if you want an English class, you have no other option but college,” she said. “When you have limited resources you have to focus on the basics.”

She agreed with Macan’s contention that the music and drama courses being suspended for this year have made money for the college, although she said she hadn’t examined Macan’s figures in detail. It doesn’t matter, she said. The continued on next page

showed up for a Board of Trustees meeting on April 2 at the College of the Redwoods’ main Eureka campus.

During the public comment period, several were concerned about athletics

cuts. And many were upset over hits to the music performance classes and to the historic preservation and restoration technology program — one of those not considered to be pulling its enrollment and financial weight.

Alex Stillman, an Arcata City Councilmember, said she helped found the historic preservation program 17 years ago because Eureka has so much intact historical housing. The program is the only one of its kind on the West Coast.

A music student who wanted to enter Humboldt State as a junior said she would need the music performance courses at the college to get in. (Smith has said CR is working on this issue and will find a way to fix it.)

Bill Ryder, a musician who trained at College of the Redwoods and then Humboldt State, said his career led him to gigs singing in New York City and other places.

Now he is a piano tuner locally, and he is married to Carol Ryder (one of the nonfaculty drama instructors now out of a job, who has directed dozens of musical theater pieces at the old Forum Theater on campus).

“Community bands and choirs don’t have technique programs,” Bill Ryder said. “College of the Redwoods does.

We live in an isolated area. We don’t need ‘enrichment classes’ for our community. We need music education classes for our youth.”

In the weeks before the meeting, Macan, the music professor and chair of drama and music, had had an e-mail exchange with President Smith in which he questioned the reasoning behind the reductions in music offerings.

He suggested that taking the occasional music course might be just what makes college tolerable for some students pursuing other degrees.

Offering only basics, he wrote, means “embracing a neo-feudal social vision in which our ‘drones’ will be remediated in

state limits how many full-time equivalent students it will fund, and she’s not willing to devote resources to offering non-priority courses.

“If I have $3,000 and my choice is to put it into a music class that makes money, or into an English class that also makes money — even if it isn’t as much — I’m choosing the English class because it meets the Chancellor’s priorities,” she said.

DeMark also noted that in the past, other classes have gone from being forcredit to community education courses.

“Phlebotomy used to be taught at College of the Redwoods,” he said. “It was turned into community ed. Medical assisting also went that route. And smog certification.”

For now, many courses being cut or shifted to community education remain in the catalog because they might one day be returned to full status. The college can add or drop courses each year, Smith said, to adjust to changing enrollment and budget scenarios.

The college’s hope is, once it adds more sections of English, math and other basics — and hires instructors for them with money diverted from the eliminated courses — enrollment will grow as all those students-in-waiting get in to their desired classes. Revenues will go up. (But even then, said Smith, it might not be enough, in which case yet more reorganizing will be in order.)

Even if enrollment doesn’t rise dramatically and the money doesn’t roll in, at least the college will be helping students toward their degrees and transfers, Smith said.

ties, Lyth allowed. It’s got a bigger stage than the old one. And, back in 2009, he had a chance to consult briefly with the architects and he asked for a loading dock to be added to the design. It was done. So that was nice. But his other suggestions — especially his request for more backstage space — were ignored, he said.

The new theater opened last August.

It is part of a larger project, completed in May, including a student services/administration building. The entire project cost $19.3 million — $16.1 million came from the state and the rest, $3.2 million, from the Measure Q bond passed by local voters in 2004, said DeMark, the college spokesperson. The theater’s cost was not separated out, he said, adding that architects did take input from faculty. Then-president Jeff Marsee signed off on the final design.

DeMark said the new theater is supposed to serve the same purposes as the old one, a place for lectures, meetings, events, concerts and drama productions, which will continue even if some performers are taking community education classes instead of classes for credit. So far it has been a venue for jazz and concert band performances, and for a high school play. l

high school math and English, taught vocational skills and given a very narrow core of transferable G.E. courses.”

Lyth, the drama instructor, likewise insists his program is important to the community.

“In the 34 years I’ve been at College of the Redwoods, I’ve had hundreds of students from local high schools,” he said one day last month, while standing inside the old Forum Theater. “They come to me and get further training, then these local kids go out into the community and perform in all the local theaters. And they go to Humboldt State, too. It’s had a huge impact for such a tiny, tiny program.”

He returned to his theme about the extravagance of the new theater — and its purpose. The old Forum Theater has just 20 stage lights — and that, he said, worked fine for him. Stacks of plywood leaned against a backstage wall — setbuilding material, which Lyth has paid for out of his own pocket. A scrap of bright blue feather lay on the dark stage floor, amid a general faint sheen of dropped glitter.

The new theater has some good quali-

Summer Cocktail Crops

By Amy Stewart

O

K, it’s not summer yet, but if you’re starting plants from seed, now’s a good time to get going.

These should all be planted in early June, or as soon as the last of the chilly spring weather is past. If possible, shelter them from the strong winds we sometimes get in early summer. Here are my must-have cocktail plants for the summer: Tomato: The tomato to grow in a cocktail garden, in my opinion, is a small and flavorful cherry tomato that you can muddle into a drink and use a garnish.

Cherry tomatoes also happen to be a

little bit more tolerant of cooler temperatures, and they do better in containers and hanging baskets.

You’ll be seeing more and more grafted tomatoes in garden centers this year, and if you haven’t tried one yet, I highly recommend that you do. The idea behind grafted vegetables is that a flavorful but somewhat finicky tomato can be grafted onto a sturdier tomato rootstock to help it resist disease and produce more fruit.

This is the same reason that many fruit trees and roses are grafted rather than grown on their own roots.

My favorites are “Sungold,” which reli-

16 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • THURSDAY, APRIL 11, 2013 • northcoastjournal.com

ably produces lots of sweet, orange fruit, and the very abundant red “Sweet 100” and “Sweet Million.” “Red Currant” is a variety that does exceptionally well in containers, and the small fruit really does have a powerful tomato flavor.

If you’re going to be growing them in containers, be sure to use a potting soil that contains coco fiber to help hold in moisture. Ask at the garden center about this — it will have at least one soil made especially for containers and hanging baskets.

Give them a healthy dose of an organic dry fertilizer formulated for fruits and vegetables, and plan on watering regularly.

And if you decide to try hanging baskets or one of those upside down tomato planters, be sure you have a freakishly strong hook that is heavily anchored to a good support beam. The plants get incredibly heavy as the season goes on, especially when you water them, so make sure the supports are seriously overbuilt.

Here’s a trick with tomatoes: When you put the plant in the ground, snip off the lowest set of leaves and submerge the plant a little deeper, so that part of the stem is buried as well. The stem will take root and contribute to a stronger root system. (Don’t do this if you’re growing a grafted tomato: in that case, the graft needs to be visible above ground.)

I have never found the flavors of tomatoes to be very stable in infused vodkas.

If you want to mix up a batch of tomatoflavored cocktails, my suggestion is to chop or mash the tomatoes with vodka and let it sit for a few hours at the most. You won’t get much additional benefit beyond that.

Peppers: As with tomatoes, the trick to growing peppers for cocktails is to choose a variety that is small enough to fit in the glass as a garnish. It’s also important you actually like the pepper; there’s no point growing hot peppers if you can’t stand spicy cocktails.

A good variety to try is “Peguis,” a heavy producer of large, green jalapeño-style peppers. For sweet peppers I like “Cherry Pick,” a small, round, red pepper that matures early, making it a good option for our cool summers.

In any case, give peppers full sun and protection from the wind. If the summer gets off to a slow start, you might even consider giving them a little shelter behind a cold frame. Even using an old glass window as a lean-to above the pepper plant can give it a little extra shelter and warmth. Like tomatoes, they need rich soil amended with plenty of compost, a granular organic fertilizer formulated for vegetables, and regular water. Uneven watering in temperature swings can stress the plant out and keep it from blooming or producing fruit.

I use slices of peppers in a lot of vodka, gin and tequila drinks, and I’ve found the flavor to be pretty stable in infused vodkas.

Don’t go overboard with the heat, however.

Even if you love spicy drinks is much as I do, a blindingly hot infused vodka can just be overpowering. Dial it back a little, and if you like, add fresh hot peppers when you make the drink.

Tomatillo: I love tomatillos in cocktails because they add such a bright, citrusy flavor. Grow them as you would tomatoes, giving them plenty of sun, rich soil, regular water and a granular organic fertilizer formulated for vegetables. There’s really just one difference: To get fruit, you need two tomatillo plants.

The purple tomatillos look great on the vine, but that purple color can get a little muddy in cocktails. I actually prefer green varieties like “Toma Verde.” There’s also a yellow variety called “Pineapple” that is so sweet that you can make jam out of it.

They blend very well with tequila; a tomatillo margarita is a wonderful thing.

Melon: If you’re growing melons specifically for a cocktail garden, it really makes sense to look for small-fruited varieties.

Better to have a steady supply of small melons on hand than two or three jumbo fruits that took all season to ripen. There’s a beautiful heirloom watermelon called “Small Shining Light” that tolerates short, cool growing seasons and produces 10-inch fruit. “Sugar Baby” is another small, iceboxstyle watermelon you might try. I also like “Minnesota Midget,” a miniature cantaloupe bred to tolerate short seasons.

No matter what variety you grow, remember to give them at least 4 to 5 feet of growing room in every direction, and to plant them on top of a mound of rich soil amended with plenty of compost. I love melons in tequila and rum drinks, but I’m sure you’ll find a use for them in vodka and gin drinks as well. Melon-infused vodka is a wonderful thing, but the flavors don’t stay stable for long, so mix up a small batch that you can use within a month or so. ●

Assembling a Reality Digital printmaker explores precision in debut show

By Ken Weiderman

A

man stands with a hammer in his right hand, arms casually slung at his sides. His jacket, a deep gray-black, blooms with bulgy pockets. Behind him, a mountain of sunflower yellow rises up just past shoulder height to a peak haloed with soft cinnamon, olive and foggy gray. His gaze is focused into the distance, calm and intense.

Steve Coppin’s digital print, “When the Day’s Work is Done,” exudes that 5 o’clock feeling. The common person is Coppin’s muse, and this man has the glow of hard work, successfully concluded. The shadows on his jacket move effortlessly from dark to light. The line work is immaculate, going thick to thin and back again with the accuracy of a master calligrapher. The magnifying glass precision and compasssmooth curves suggest that this print was not created entirely by hand.

Since 1997, Coppin has exclusively used computers to create his art. He is a digital printmaker. His work lives entirely on the computer until the instant pigment is sprayed onto smooth, 300-weight rag paper by his Epson Stylus 4880 eightcolor printer. He’s been at it a long time, and now, 40 years after graduating from Humboldt State University’s art program, he is finally making his artistic debut at the Upstairs Art Gallery during Arts!

Arcata this Friday.

The 18 prints in his show are a lesson in contrast. Angular elements crash into the soft corners of a woman’s arm. The firm, clean contours of an auto hood are held hostage by the complexity of a fireman’s respirator. Relaxed black hoodies and bulging white T-shirts in one print sit comfortably next to another with business suits sharp enough to cut.

A Humboldt native, Coppin initially thought engineering was his calling. The boredom of drafting class changed his mind. “It was all guys and everybody was quiet. [We just] sat there for an hour.” It was the early 1970s and Coppin had just returned from two years in the Army. He needed something more exciting, livelier, so he turned to art. With a glint in his eye and a touch of boyish charm, he recalls,

ABOVE, “FIREFIGHTER,” AND LEFT, “SELLING FLOWERS,” DIGITAL PRINTS BY STEVE COPPIN. A RECEPTION FOR THE ARTIST TAKES PLACE FRIDAY, APRIL 12, 6-9 P.M. AT THE UMPQUA BANK UPSTAIRS GALLERY.

“In the art classes there were women, and it was loud and noisy and just a lot more fun!”

He’s never looked back. Armed with his art degree and an airbrush, he ended up in Seattle in 1981 with an excellent agent and a keen sense of design. Coppin settled in as a freelance illustrator, creating ads for high-profile clients in the bustling boardrooms of companies like Microsoft and Toyota.

After 25 years in advertising, Coppin returned to Humboldt in 2007, “mostly retired,” and eventually settled into a slategray house in Eureka, next door to the one he grew up in. We met there on a foggy afternoon late last month, and nestled into overstuffed red leather chairs. Originals from his advertising days and fine art prints adorned taupe walls. Old-fashioned metal tractors from his boyhood sat stoutly in a glass-fronted armoire.

As Coppin talked about why he creates portraits, he wove a big hand through his silver hair, his squinted eyes creasing his temples. “I was never very good at [drawing] people,” he confessed. “I love artists who do people well, so I’ve tried to concentrate on that.”

Concentrate he has. Coppin works tirelessly, sometime 10 hours a day, five or six days a week. It’s obvious he’s enjoying making work for himself now, not for clients. He went on: “When I came back from Seattle … I probably went a year or longer before I could do anything I was happy with.”

Now, with a new body of work and a fresh style, Coppin is ready to show it off. Since his freelance days, he’s wanted

to do a series of “people working different jobs.

It doesn’t have to be somebody special. Just ordinary people doing ordinary things can be interesting.”

Many of his distinctive portraits spotlight athletes, builders, farmers, tourists and even banal morning routines.

Coppin’s process is borne out of a love for shape. Maybe it’s that small triangle that forms when a woman’s arm is set akimbo. Sometimes it’s the way two hands rest, reflected on the surface of a table. In fact, the shape is so important that little else matters. Those hands? They’re from a stock photograph. That eye? From an advertisement. Each part is simply a building block for an ideal composition that starts in Coppin’s mind and sometimes is roughed out freehand, using soft lead pencil on paper.

Next, he says, “I use photographs a lot. I’ve got a big selection of people and faces, and I’ll go through them and combine parts. Sometimes I’ll put a different head on a different figure.”

An eye here, a hand there; perhaps a jacket pulled from a manufacturer’s catalog.

Coppin has literally hundreds of reference images. Once he finds the proper source, Coppin uses Adobe Illustrator to layer it over his sketch. Commanding a Wacom digital drawing pad, his favorite stylus becomes a scalpel, stripping away the intricate real-life details and leaving only those lines necessary to reveal his subject.

Clearly enjoying demonstrating his technique, Coppin stares intently into his 27 inch screen, the shape of an eye filling it entirely. He leans in, squinting and breathing out slowly. In front of him lines appear from quiet taps, strokes and clicks made on the tablet below his

right wrist. As Bob Dylan warbles in the background what was once a digital photograph transforms into a unique drawing, precisely crafted in his exacting, minimalist style.

With the eye details taken care of, Coppin closes the source image (saving it for later reference if needed) and begins stitching another image into the drawing. The result is essentially a quilted portrait, expertly assembled from pieced-together parts.

All that might change though. Coppin has just bought a camera and plans to start photographing models. One of his prints offers a hint of the future.

“Firefigher,” placed squarely in the middle of the exhibit by gallery curator Suk Choo Kim, is the only print that came entirely from one photograph.

Every detail is carefully rendered. The myriad shapes and textures mirror the minimalist style of the other prints, yet retain a photographic quality. The spiky shapes and half-dozen grays that make up the fireman’s helmet buckle must have taken at least three to four hours.

It’s a tour-de-force in digital imagery; a pure declaration of skill as well as an homage to the profession of firefighting.

Whatever his next path, it’s sure to involve working with computers. Coppin is a man in search of scientific precision. “You can’t just do it by hand,” he declares, pointing at a fast stroke of icy white elegantly positioned over one of his portraits. “It’d be really tough to do that perfectly” without using a computer. That crafty glint comes back to his eyes, and he looks over the top of his glasses. With a computer, “you can always mess with something. There’s no excuse for not making it perfect.” ●

by Jerry Rohde. Additional art is on display in the Wildwood Gallery inside the Rio Dell Pizza Factory, at 195 Wildwood Ave., and in Second Chance Antiques, 117 Wildwood Ave. ●

This year’s choreography concert by HSU dance majors neatly balances technical ensemble work with emotionally immersive solo and duet pieces. The evening is a given for modern dance lovers, but the inclusion of work by theatre-based choreographers Keili Marble and Lizzie Chapman should also make this an appealing event for those who enjoy The Vagina Monologues or The Last Five Years.

The university’s annual spring dance showcase, which continues this weekend, includes seven group pieces, three solos and one duet. Last Friday night, the most realized ensemble dance work was arguably in the show opener, Carrie Walpole’s “As One,” which addresses women’s roles and power. (Think Hunger Games without despair, performed to movie music by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails.) Those with a taste for the edgy may prefer instructor Laura Muñoz’s “Living with Thirst,” in which five disturbed ragdolls are repeatedly crushed by an unseen maleficence, or Kelly-May Roberts’ exploration of evil (or is it anxiety?) in “Best Kept Secret.” The latter uses voice-overs, stage fog, mildly strobing lights and a case of nervous hives to evoke hidden emotional realms. But don’t fret — “Vibora” is here to oscillate your fears away, as dancers become soundwaves inside the soothing melodies of Ian Taylor.

Solo work is critical to the strength of this production, with each of the three soloists entering unique territories, untouched by the others. Walpole presents a sinuously emotive solo danced to “This Bitter Earth / On the Nature of Daylight” — bringing a welcome dose of lyricism to the otherwise modern feel. Dani Gutierrez owns enough gravity to hold the rest of the show in orbit; if there’s a superhero hidden in the cast, she’s likely your woman. Her piece is vaguely reminiscent of an Olympic ice skating routine: cohesive and highly charged. Actor/dancer Keili Marble tackles body-loathing in a gutsy exposition of her own flesh, with a little help from Tina Fey and an astute use of stage space.

One piece lifted the bar of the evening well above student work: choreographer Lizzie Chapman’s duet, “Innermost Secrets.” This relational diagram of early love and acute vulnerability collapsed distance and time. In three seconds, Walter Fogler became more emotionally engaged than most dancers manage over an entire run, his face as expressive as his feet. Kara Ajetunmobi met his energy with depth, hesitance and tensile strength, creating an unusually beautiful moment between them.

Kudos to Greta Stockwell for flawless illumination; dance lovers will appreciate light design that reinforces movement across the stage so clearly. As in past years for this annual show, music selection continues to challenge performers (and audience); that said, some choices were particularly effective. Hear and see it for yourself, Thursday to Saturday, April 18-20, 7:30 p.m. at HSU’s Van Duzer Theatre. Tickets: 826-3928 — Maia Cheli-Colando

Green Fire

Humboldt Green Week, Humboldt Fire, The Skatalites, Dark Star Orchestra, fifth of World Famous and an EPIC gala

By Bob Doran

bobdoran@northcoastjournal.com

S

o, we’re heading into another Humboldt Green Week. The now-annual celebration heralds the coming of spring and all things green and growing as we approach the stoner holiday 4/20 (April 20), a week from Saturday, and Earth Day, April 22. (It’s a long week.)

It’s a collection of loosely related events promoted by a loose assemblage of businesses and nonprofits, some working on ecological issues, some serving the burgeoning indoor/outdoor growing industry, some just music promoters whose patrons like stony, earthy music. As the organizers put it, Green Week “celebrates Humboldt’s passion for gardening, the arts and live music,” any kind of music, from electronica and soul to jambands, reggae and African dance.

It begins this weekend with the second annual Humboldt Garden Expo, Saturday and Sunday afternoons (noon to 5 p.m.) at Blue Lake Casino, where you’ll find the latest supplies for whatever it is you want to grow. There’s a parallel Family Arts Day Saturday at the Morris Graves Museum of Art, with kids doing projects with recycled and re-used materials.

20 North Coast Journal • Thursday, April 11, 2013 • northcoastjournal.com

Then Saturday night Jamaica’s legendary The Skatalites play a Green Week show at the Jambalaya. The Skatalites are the prototypical ska band, the guys who invented the hiccupping genre a long, long time ago — in the early ’60s. At this point most of the original line-up is dead or retired. The exception is Lester Sterling, now 76, a trumpet/sax player who has been playing music professionally since 1957. He helped form The Skatalites in 1964 and was part of the reformation in 1984 when Britain’s two-tone movement renewed interest in ska. The band, still going strong with mostly younger players, just released a new album, Walk With Me. Since DJ Gabe Pressure is a major fan, you know he’ll be there to spin some classic ska 45s, even though Pressure Anya has a second gig that night at the Ritz, part of a whole weekend of shows celebrating Anya‘s birthday.

There are a lot more Green Week events this weekend, including tours of Humboldt Regeneration Brewery, a Friends of the Dunes “Get Outside” gear sale on Sunday, and an afternoon of dance with Mami Wata West African Dancers at the Graves, also on Sunday. (See www.

humboldtgreenweek for a full schedule.)

And there are more big Green shows next weekend (see next week’s Hum).

The other major Green concert this coming week is a Passion show with Dark Star Orchestra on Monday at the Eureka Theater. DSO is the quintessential Grateful Dead tribute, a road tested machine that’s been touring since 1997 with a specific concept. Don’t expect the Dead’s “hits.” As explained on the DSO website, “On any given night the band will perform a show based on a set list from the Grateful Dead’s 30 years of extensive touring,” using that as a launching pad for Deadstyle jams. The show is early (7:30 p.m.), which leaves time for an official afterparty at the Red Fox with funky electrojammers Moo-Got-2.

Not officially affiliated with Green Week, but along the same lines: Thursday’s third annual Humboldt Fire Pin-Up Party at the Arcata Theatre Lounge. The local rolling paper company always throws a great bash. This one is a fundraiser for the Humboldt Music Project featuring Snarky Puppy, a very cool jazz/funk/world music collective out of Dallas/Brooklyn with a big sound. Gregg Moore of the Humboldt Music Academy has arranged an afternoon session for interested music types: Show up for sound-check at 4:30 p.m. and a few band members (presumably including founder/bassist Michael League) will explain how the Snarky fusion of genres works. Adding to the fun that night: music by local world music combo Vidagua, dancing by Beat Vixens, juggler Steven Weven‘s Humboldt Fire Rolling Contest, a photo booth, an auction and raffle, and the Humboldt Fire Pinup Girls dressed in 1940s-era attire (the whole party has a ’40s theme).

The Humboldt Fire Girls will also be on hand for EPIC’s Spring Gala Saturday at the Arcata Community Center, the annual bash supporting the local green warriors.

It starts with a New Orleans-style feast with jambalaya, collard greens and the like (along with appropriate cocktails), but if you’re on a budget you can skip dinner and just come for the (really good) music.

The headliner, Petunia and The Vipers, is a truly fine honky tonk combo out of Canada. Anyone remember the late Ray Condo and his Ricochets? The Vipers are some of the same guys, but with Petunia (a dude) out front yodeling and channeling Jimmie Rodgers, Elvis and Woody Guthrie. Sharing the bill: Sour Mash Hug Band, a quartet from San Francisco, now based out of New Orleans, with a red hot mix of ragtime, gypsy jazz, klezmer and jug band music. Epic fun all around.

Mochipet, the EDM producer in the cute dino suit, returns to Humboldt Thursday for a different sort of show at Nocturnum. He explains, “The new live show is an ever expanding project I

started working on this year. I basically got tired of doing the Ableton Live/DJ thing that’s become so prevalent today, so I started incorporating more instruments, visual projections and other secret gadgets to my set.” He’s touring with Zoogma, an improvising EDM-meets-rock quartet; Selector Science opens.

Same Thursday at the Jambalaya, Sound Culture 004 brings more electro-beats with Hellfire Machina, Zaggasaurus, Piper and Astro Tarot filling the dance floor.

World Famous party-master Matty Roberts marks the fifth anniversary of World Famous Productions Friday with a really big show at the Arcata Theatre Lounge. It starts during Arts Arcata (6 p.m.) with an art talk by mystic visionary artist Alex Grey and his wife Allyson.

Later it’s a blast of electronica by some WFP faves, EPROM, Andreilien, B. Bravo and The Starship Connection, with Alex and Allyson back for live art, visuals by Johnathan Singer, lights by Beams, ambiance by Ambird and bass-heavy sound by Basscraft. In between there’s an exclusive catered dinner/meet ‘n’ greet where you can hang with the whole crew; check www.worldfamousparty.com for details.

Soulful Humboldt expat Berel Alexander returns for a live recording session at the Red Fox Thursday backed by cellist Mike Lee and keys king B-Swizlo among others. Berel’s buddies Jesi Naomi and The BoomKats open.

The ComiX Trip Tea Party on Friday at HSU’s Campus Center for Appropriate Technology is another fundraiser, for the in-progress ComiX Trip movie with comedians, Knee High Puppet Co. and music by Green & Lilac, Lyndsey Battle and Ka’le Dreams, plus a bit of ComiX Trip.

Friday is Arts Arcata night, which means some of the usual suspects all over town.

Around the time the art walk wraps up (9ish) you can catch the amazing Senegalese kora player Youssoupha Sidibe and his band The Mystic Rhythms at Om Shala Yoga above Humboldt Brews.

HSU’s various jazz combos play two concerts Friday night in Fulkerson Recital Hall, first up (at 7 p.m.) three bands: The No-Chordtet, Twice Around The Thing and Matt Engleman’s Musical Man Family Friendly Gang Band. Part two (at 9 p.m.) has two bands: The Hip Replacements and La Musique Diabolique. You can also hear La Musique Diabolique on Saturday at the Arcata Library, where the gypsy jazzers play for a jazzy book sale.

Ready for some wild ass country-ish rock? Brett The Truck plays a rare full band show Saturday night at the Logger Bar with Gunsafe opening.

Saturday is also the launch of what may be the greenest thing around, the Arcata Farmers’ Market. Opening day music comes from Cajun faves The Bayou Swamis. Laissez les bon temps roulette! l northcoastjournal.com • North Coast Journal • Thursday, April 11, 2013

Hug a Poet Today California Poets in the Schools, which puts poets-in-residence in schools for short or long-term stints, was founded in 1964 — the same year many other wondrous things happened, including passage of the national Civil Rights and Wilderness acts.

Hm, maybe there’s some synergy in those coincidences. A program, you might say, was created to haul poets out of the howling wilderness and grant them a level standing in the world — to pop them proudly into classrooms to lead agile, sensitive young minds through the paces of poetic expression.

Yeah, well, sounds good. But today’s poets in the schools still need money to do all this equal-opportunity poetic coaching of, according to the program’s wesbite, some 25,000 students annually “in hundreds of public and private schools, juvenile halls, after-school programs, hospitals, and other community settings.”

Julie Hochfeld, a local poet participant, says the program has been in Humboldt County for 30 years, and today reaches 1,000 students. Poets in the schools are funded with a mixture of federal, state and private contributions. That last bit’s where you — reader, word-lover, idea-seeker — come in. Every year, the local poets-in-residence apply for matching state grants. And then they gather up the match from kind-hearted, poetloving citizens.

Friday, April 12, at 7 p.m., Hochfeld joins fellow poets Jerry Martien, Celia Homesley, Daryl Chinn, Dan Brewer and Dan Zev Levinson in a poetry reading at Northtown Books, 957 H St., in Arcata. Yep, it’s a benefit for California Poets in the Schools. There’s no charge, but donations are encouraged.

Death We’re all hurtling toward death, every minute of every day. Some Buddhists teach that fully grasping our transience, knowing we could go in an instant, is one key to living fully in each of our fleeting moments.

At the end of all those moments, though, the people we love will have to deal with life after we’re gone. And for that, the Funeral Consumer Alliance of Humboldt wants to help with everything from advance directives to advice on grieving.

The group’s annual meeting, on Saturday afternoon in Bayside, features a talk by Sherri Whitt, a licensed marriage and family therapist who has helped many people deal with losses in their lives.

“Not only is grief something that is survivable, but it can sometimes even be transformational in a positive way,” Whitt says. Everyone comes at loss differently, she says, but it can often help to lean on others for support, rather than grieving in isolation. And people shouldn’t necessarily expect to “get over it,” at least in the sense that “there will come a time when they no longer feel pain about that death and it will just be OK. There is a lot of time when that is true, but particularly with significant losses, there are always those tender moments that might arise.”

The Funeral Consumer Alliance meets from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, April 13, at the Humboldt Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 24 Fellowship Way, Bayside.

Reviews

EVIL DEAD opens hard: A young girl wanders a forlorn landscape until two hillbillies throw a sack over her head and haul her into a basement filled with dead cats. A shifty witch intones spells from a sinister book. The girl’s actually harboring a demon; the only way to free her is cleansing fire. So her father sets her alight, tells her he loves her as the evil inhabitant cackles and howls, then blows her head off with a shotgun. Smash cut to the main title sequence.

It’s a fitting beginning to a movie that attempts to retell one of the most revered stories in horror cinema. It would have been foolhardy, if not impossible, to try to out-camp Sam Raimi’s 1981 cult touchstone The Evil Dead (followed by 1987’s Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn and 1992’s Army of Darkness). Rather than attempting to re-make Raimi’s creation, writer-director Fede Alvarez (with help from co-writers Rodo Sayagues and an unbilled Diablo Cody) has made a clever homage that successfully honors and updates the source material.

After the mildly shocking, darkly comic (it is funny, trust me) opening, the narrative moves into familiar territory: a group of young people gathering at a remote cabin in the woods. They’ve gotten together to try to help Mia (Jane Levy) kick her dope habit with a cold turkey weekend. The accomplices include her brother David (Shiloh Fernandez) and his girlfriend Natalie (Elizabeth Blackmore), plus high school teacher Eric (Lou Taylor Pucci) and his companion Olivia (Jessica Lucas).

Just as Mia’s withdrawal symptoms begin to play tricks on her, genuinely weird things start happening in and around the cabin. In the cabin’s basement the gang discovers the aforementioned dead cats,

Fresh Bloodbath

many it will be impossible to watch. I can sympathize; it took me a while to settle in and enjoy myself. But ultimately I did, very much. (Incidentally, Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell like it too: they executive-produced).

R. 91m.

JURASSIC PARK 3D. I rarely revisit mid-period Steven Spielberg stuff. I can go back and easily enjoy his early work, and in the past decade he’s made some of the best movies of his career. In the mid-1990s, though, he was starting to outgrow his affable-storyteller mode, and I was starting to outgrow him.

Jurassic Park was the last gasp, for a while, of my infatuation with the simple pleasures of Spielberg movies. I was engrossed by Michael Crichton’s book, and the movie is a better-than-average adaptation. But within months I, like so many others, had seen Pulp Fiction and unceremoniously turned my back on movies as accessible as Spielberg’s.

I realize now the folly and pretension of that attitude: Spielberg is a craftsman to rival anybody who’s ever made movies.

As an angsty, wannabe-arthouse teenager, I didn’t have any business pontificating on my misperceptions of simplicity in the guy’s work.

Twenty years later, I can see Jurassic Park differently. Granted, I had to use 3D glasses, which neither add nor detract from the effect. More to the point, I now appreciate Spielberg’s ability to tell stories with a youthful sense of wonder and fun.

When he made this movie, he was already over two decades in as a director, and yet it has all the energy and surprise of Duel, even Raiders. It’s not his best work, but it has aged surprisingly well. PG13. 127m.

— John J. Bennett

Evil returns in an ultraviolent homage to a camp-horror classic shotgun and sinister book, which, bound in human flesh, is now shrouded in garbage bags and barbed wire. Mia’s freakout escalates, her flight attempt fails, and as night falls on the cabin things get very bad very quickly.

Horror, especially of the torture-porn sub-genre, isn’t really my thing. I don’t mind viscera and buckets of blood, but I need them to be in service of a solid story, hopefully with a sense of humor.

Evil Dead has both, but it’s also unabashedly of the new school of ultraviolent horror movie-making. For that, and for the fact that I love the originals so much, this was a bit of a hard sell for me. My preconceptions were in the way. And once the nasty business in the cabin gets going, it escalates unrelentingly. At one point, for example, a possessed girl bisects her own tongue with a box-cutter — not for the faint of heart. But as I watched, it all started to make sense.

Alvarez and company approached this remake in a smart, sensible way. They obviously revere the originals and knew they could never replace them. Ditto the bizarrely commanding screen presence of Bruce Campbell, who played the now legendary protagonist Ash. So instead, they made the story the main character, relying on it — and their admittedly inventive lacerations and dismemberments — to keep our eyes on the screen.

They bring a new but familiar sense of humor to the proceedings, making us laugh uncomfortably even as we’re squirming away, trying not to watch but doing it anyway. And, in a deeply satisfying act of homage, they’ve retained some of the canonical elements of Raimi’s creation.

Mia tries to escape in a station wagon, there’s an evil hand in play, the camera careens crazily through the woods, and a chainsaw becomes very important late in the movie.

I should probably reiterate that this thing is an absolute bloodbath, and for

Previews

42. This Jackie Robinson biopic, written and directed by Brian Helgeland (A Knight’s Tale), follows the historic signing of the first black man to play in the major leagues. PG13. 88m.

SCARY MOVIE V. With both Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen onboard, I’m gonna go out on a limb here and predict bad things for this fifth installment of the depressingly anti-funny parody franchise.

PG13. 85m.

GINGER & ROSA. Bravo to Coming Attractions for bringing a couple of woman-directed art house movies (with young, female protagonists) to the Minor this week. In this one, director Sally Potter (Orlando) returns with a tale of two teenage girls coming of age amid the social,

political and sexual upheaval of late-1960s London. PG13. 89m.

LORE. From Australian writer-director Cate Shortland, this film follows a teenage girl leading her young siblings across Germany after the death of Hitler. Forced to rely on a stranger, the girl must confront the ideologies of her Nazi-sympathizer parents. Not rated. 108m.

On Sunday, the Arcata Theatre Lounge will show the dark, animated 2009 adventure 9, about a rag doll that awakens in a post-apocalyptic future. PG13. 79m. The adventures get brighter on Monday and Tuesday with the Banff Mountain Film Festival, which highlights extreme adventure sports such as rock climbing, skiing, mountain-bike riding and base jumping in gorgeous natural environments. Doors at 6 p.m., movies at 7 both nights. Ganjasaurus Rex, the 1987 low-budget, pro-weed monster movie shot here in Humboldt County, will show at next Wednesday’s Sci-Fi Pint and Pizza Night. 6 p.m.

The student-run Humboldt Film Festival kicks off at 7 p.m. next Wednesday with an evening of animated and experimental films at HSU’s Van Duzer Theatre.

Check our Calendar section for details.

ADMISSION. A Princeton admissions officer (Tina Fey) meets a free-spirit high school administrator (Paul Rudd) in this pleasant, predictable rom-com PG13. 117m.

THE CROODS. A prehistoric family must look for a new cave in this likeable animated comedy featuring the voices of Nic Cage and Emma Stone. PG. 96m.

ESCAPE FROM PLANET EARTH. A nerdy, risk-averse alien must save his heroic astronaut brother in this poorly reviewed CGI cartoon comedy. PG. 89m.

G.I. JOE: RETALIATION. Bruce Willis, “The Rock” and Channing Tatum play guys with big muscles and guns. They shoot stuff. PG13. 99m.

THE HOST. Alien body-snatchers complicate another boring teenage love triangle from Stephanie Meyer, author of the Twilight series. PG13. 125m.

OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN. White House action-thriller with a Secret Service agent (Gerard Butler) protecting the president (Aaron Eckhart) from evil Koreans. Yawn.

R. 100m.

OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL. James Franco stars as the young wizard-to-be in this visually rich but ultimately hollow prequel. PG. 130m.

SPRING BREAKERS. Bratty provocateur Harmony Korine (Gummo, Trash Humpers) puts former tween starlets in bikinis and sets them loose in a trippy nightmare of guns and drugs in south Florida. R. 94m.

The Fourth Quadrant

BARRY EVANS

REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL

By Barry Evans

fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com

T

exting as a form of communication is barely 20 years old, although at least one texting term goes back nearly a century, to 1917, when Admiral John Fisher wrote Winston Churchill (then minister of munitions), “I hear that a new order of Knighthood is on the tapis. OMG! (Oh My God!) Shower it on the Admiralty. (“On the tapis” was once newspeak for “on the table.”)

We’ve come a long way since then. No one actually spells out OMG anymore, or, for that matter, LOL, IMHO, FYI or BFF, all of which were legitimized by inclusion into the venerable OED (sorry, that’s Oxford English Dictionary) a couple of years ago. Consider that every year, some 10 trillion text messages are sent — that’s 300,000 every second! Or that 95 percent of young adults (18-24) in the United States send more than 100 text messages daily.

Does this represent the instant birth of a new language? Or are we simply filling the missing “fourth quadrant” of our linguistic abilities? In a recent TEDx talk, linguist John McWhorter invites us to consider a simple two-by-two language matrix:  Formal spoken is oratory, in the “ask not what your country can do for you” style, typically around 30 to 50 words per sentence.  Infomal spoken is what we do every day, complete with our ums and ahs, interruptions and half-finished phrases, at about eight words per sentence. “He was all like it’s not my problem anyway.” “Yeah,

but did he end up paying the …” “Um, well, not really.”  Formal written is what I strive for in this column. It’s how letter writers (remember letters?) write. It’s the stuff of school essays and book reports and, well, writing.  Informal written, in McWhorter’s view, was an empty box until the rise of texting as an abbreviated form of writing that mimics speech. That is, writing how we speak, with our thumbs doing the work our mouths used to. Not that all language, even formal, couldn’t be shortened while still maintaining the full meaning: “4scr+7 yrs ago r 4fthrs brot 4th>ths contnt a nu n8n, cncvd n lbrty + dedc8d 2 th prpstn tht allmen r cre8d =” Me, I’m all for it. I love the imagination of young people as they create what seems to be a new language. Or, languages. In Germany, Gute Nacht (good night) becomes gn8 (8 = acht). In Japan, where 3 is “san” and 9 is “kyu”, thank you is texted as 39. French Quoi de neuf? (What’s new?) texts as koi29 (deux-neuf).

Here’s m.02. If all this is just 2m2h and tmi 4u, it’s prbly 2l8 2 wry abt, snc txtng is now, a3, bau, cwot 2 cmplain, so goi.
