Beer is Good Editor: Grant Scott-Goforth’s article in the latest Journal (“Big Beer,” Feb. 19) regarding the money spent by the city on infrastructure improvements to facilitate Lost Coast Brewing’s new brewery is somewhat misleading. While I’m sure the quoted figures for the improvements were correct it doesn’t reflect the whole story.

Sunset Road was almost un-drivable due to lack of maintenance. Rebuilding the road and other improvements would’ve been necessary in the near future anyway.

The city has a responsibility to maintain its infrastructure at all times and my guess would be that probably half of that money would’ve been spent anyway.

The fact the city agreed to do these upgrades is a function that all cities need to do to either encourage new business or retain existing businesses for the health and wealth of the city. I applaud the decision by the city to fund these improvements and move the project forward. More living wage jobs, more sales tax, more property tax and all that goes with expansion will pay off these costs in a relatively short time. This is a win-win for all involved and I’m thankful we didn’t lose this business to a more progressive and transportation-friendly city.

Although being on a major transportation corridor would have lessened operating cost considerably, Barbara Groom was committed to the city and Humboldt County. Eureka should be very proud to have this thriving business call it home.

Lee Chappelle, Eureka

Plumbers and Steamfitters Local 290 has spent more than a million dollars (at no cost to the taxpayer) providing the highest quality training in this area and our members have built breweries, as well as large industrial projects, including Intel, Apple and Google facilities. To disregard local workers and companies was shortsighted and irresponsible.

Ms. Groom’s negative attitude towards workers and the community has become apparent over the years. Negative actions usually result in long-term repercussions.

She also chose a location for her new brewery in close proximity to the City of Eureka Waste Water Treatment Plant, which occasionally, on warm summer days with easterly winds, creates a rather stinky CARTOON BY TERRY TORGERSON atmosphere for Lost Coast beer creation, consumption and ice cream enjoyment.

I for one, will not be supporting any more Eureka taxpayer dollars for the benefit of Ms. Groom and her “Are the citizens getting beer on tap??” corporate beer.

Comment of the Week

Eurekans might be getting from Lost Coast Brewery’s new facility on the Journal’s Facebook page.

Editor: Thank you for your informative article, “Big Beer.”

As the union’s business agent, I am pleased to inform North Coast Journal readers that the United Association (UA) of Plumbers and Steamfitters, did perform some work on the new brewery. One member worked on the cooling system and a few other members from other UA Locals performed

Brewing Discontent Editor: Nice job on your informative article on the Lost Coast Brewery expansion. In my opinion, the best thing about Lost Coast Brewery is Duane Flatmo’s original artwork!

The Lost Coast Brewery is another fine example about how the community loves and supports small startup companies and then, when they become successful, the owners forget where they came from and turn their backs on the people that supported them.

As a former representative and area training coordinator of the local plumbers and steamfitters union, I spent a great deal of time over the last 20 years promoting Lost Coast beer. I even testified on their behalf at the Eureka Council meetings in support of the project. Unfortunately, when it came time to hire our local workers, owner Barbara Groom chose to bring in out-of-area workers and contractors.

gas distribution and fire protection work.

The bulk of the piping (thousands of construction hours) however, involved plumbing and process piping that could have been performed by our local members but, unfortunately, this work was outsourced by Lost Coast.

When it came to hiring for the new brewery, Barbara Groom earlier had suggested the choice was one of joining the plumbers union in solidarity or to “live as free people without fear.” We say the choice is about fairness. When employers support labor standards in their hiring practices, workers are provided the dignity their work deserves. Labor standards allow workers the means to support local stores, businesses, restaurants and services as well as the possibility to afford owning a home and paying property taxes that, in turn, support local schools and community functions. By not hiring UA Local 290 members, apprentice training opportunities were lost.

Employing apprentices is important for the future of our workforce and for maintaining the standards of our industry, safe practices and quality craftsmanship.

In an op-ed piece in the Times-Standard, Barbara Groom said: “The proper business decision for Lost Coast Brewery would be to build the new brewery in Texas or North Carolina. …” Where would Lost Coast Brewery be without our local

consumers and location? Sure, maybe now that it is established, it could have chosen to leave Humboldt County, but would Lost Coast have had the same success had they started in Texas or North Carolina? Gulf Coast Brew, anyone?

Laws are Made to be Broken Editor: In response to Hodgson’s article on Robert Lustig’s diet advice (“Obesity — How’d THAT Happen?” Jan. 22), Barry Evans defended the validity of the First “Law” of Thermodynamics (“Field Notes,” Jan. 29).

We do not live in a theoretically perfect world, however, and using an incomplete description of this theorem without including losses to other energy types, such as friction, is as misleading as religious and political dogma.

Barry is interested in wastewater treatment plants, so he should be able to realize why human waste (even after the human has exercised), aka sewage, has a significant biological oxygen demand and needs to be treated to avoid polluting because of the remaining amount of “calories.” To be crude, why do some turds float?

Studies by endocrinologists and organic chemists are more reliable and consistent than the office-football-pool-type questionnaires used by many dieticians.

Redline the Carpet

I

couldn’t watch the Oscars. That’s probably a good thing. I had papers to grade. Still it irks me. My husband and I cut off our Suddenlink cable at the end of last year because we paid way too much for what we got.

We now have a Roku device that lets us watch movies and old TV shows through Netflix and Amazon Prime. I sacrificed the current season of Justified. We are now among the millions of people called “cord cutters.”

I could only see the Super Bowl at a friend’s house. But more disturbing is my inability to see a new show on Comedy Central, The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore.

It is disturbing because I can watch the show in my office, on my computer, but not at home. It is a weird thing. You see, Suddenlink and Viacom, the company that owns Comedy Central, are fighting over money issues. So Suddenlink pulled Viacom shows from its cable offerings. And Viacom pulled its shows from Suddenlink’s Internet customers. We still have Suddenlink Internet. When I pull up The Nightly Show at home, the videos are blocked.

When I pull it up in my office down the road, they stream fine.

That makes me wonder what else I can’t get. Or what else won’t I be able to get in the future.

In the old days, you invested in a TV set and watched the same things as all your neighbors. In January 1977, just about everyone tuned into Roots. But there aren’t free shows now. You need to pay for an Internet connection or cable or satellite.

Some of us can watch the Oscars. Some

can’t. Some of us can watch The Nightly Show, others can’t.

Did you know that if you and I plug the same search term into Google, we get different results? That if you and I both go onto Facebook at the same time, side by side on different computers, and look at the same friend’s page, we will get different ads? Many people are upset by what comes up. After researching my elderly father’s medical needs, my sister now has to look at ads for adult diapers on her Facebook. But you don’t think about what you don’t see. What am I getting that you aren’t?

The Nightly Show launched this year after the end of the popular Colbert Report. It is different. While Stephen Colbert created a fake persona that people connected to, Larry Wilmore has vowed that his show will “Keep it 100.” He means 100 percent or completely honest. That’s a term some people have to look up in the dictionary. The first time I saw the show (before we cut off our cable) I found it odd. I didn’t think it would make it. But I found myself returning to it. And now I find myself seeking it out. The attempt at honesty on the show is odd and refreshing and addictive.

We live in a world of politics and posturing, where people post their every superficial thought, but keep their real feelings to themselves for fear of reprisal.

I read a frightening story last week in the New York Times Magazine. Called “Feed Frenzy,” it documented the trend of public shaming on the Internet. It started with a young woman who tweeted a bad continued on next page

joke to her friends before a long flight and woke up 15 hours later to find herself the most hated person on the Internet. She lost her job and had to change careers.

She was only one example the author of the story found.

If I didn’t have tenure as a college professor, I don’t think you’d be reading this column. There are no First Amendment rights to freedom of speech in the job world for at-will employees.

But who knows? Perhaps this column, which disses Suddenlink, might not download onto computers connected by Suddenlink Internet. It is possible, you see.

The Federal Communications Commission this week is expected to vote on new

net neutrality rules that would prevent Internet providers from charging extra fees to websites for faster connections or from blocking access to websites that won’t or can’t pay extra fees.

But I don’t think that will force Viacom into letting me, as a Suddenlink customer, access its content.

What scares me is the ability companies have not just to tailor searches and ads to my particular psychometrics (that’s my tastes and attitudes and opinions and tendencies), but to keep information from me because of how I think and what I’m like. Right now what’s keeping me from The Nightly Show is a hissy fit between two ginormous companies. But what if it

had nothing to do with economics? What if the people who run Viacom only wanted certain types of people to watch The Nightly Show? And what if they wanted to steer people like me to other shows — by making it free and super convenient to watch those and costly and inconvenient to watch others?

Do you ever wonder why certain movies show up on your Netflix and others don’t? Why can I watch some old TV shows, but not all of them?

Because I can’t watch The Nightly Show at home I have to remember to watch it at work. Luckily I teach media, so watching TV shows in my office is something I can get away with. Others

might get fired for that.

Fired for trying to watch a show that revolves around honest discussion of important issues and that has been blocked from computers in millions of people’s homes.

What aren’t you watching?

Settled out of Court

The ACLU and Eureka City Schools settled. But who got what?

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

L

ast month, the National Center for Youth Law announced that it and the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California had reached a settlement in the federal civil rights lawsuit they brought against Eureka City Schools on behalf of four local minority students who they said suffered pervasive and systemic discrimination in the district’s schools.

What wasn’t announced is that the settlement included a $700,000 payout, 85 percent of which went to paying the fees and reimbursement costs of ACLU and National Center lawyers. The plaintiffs in the case — four teenagers who each alleged years of racial taunting and discrimination in Eureka schools — each received $27,500, according to court documents and Eureka City Schools’ response to a California Public Records Act request submitted by the Journal.

Filed in December 2013, the lawsuit alleged district administrators ignored complaints of racial taunting and bullying, disproportionately disciplined minority students, and that district staff made racially and sexually insensitive comments to students on numerous occasions. The specific allegations in the suit included things like male students regularly pinching and punching girl’s breasts and buttocks on “titty-twisting Tuesdays” and “ass-slap Fridays” as staff looked the other way; a teacher telling students things like “black people get bored easily” and, “don’t give me your black attitude;” a history teacher telling her students to “make up” different Native American tribes and pretend to fight each other to mimic the way tribes “traditionally resolved conflicts between their communities;” and an administrator refusing to help a student with a learning disability until her mother proved its existence.

The four plaintiffs alleged this school environment left them anxious, depressed and angry, in some cases leaving their

educational needs unmet.

In filing the suit, attorneys said they were seeking both injunctive relief — essentially a court-ordered plan directing Eureka City Schools to address these issues and make the district a more welcoming place for all students — and a payout to their plaintiffs. When the settlement was announced by the National Center on Jan. 29, everyone involved seemed willing to talk about the “wide-ranging settlement,” which included the district’s agreement to enhance multicultural curriculum, provide students with disability-appropriate services, reduce race and disability disparities in discipline, and contract with an independent research group to do a district-wide assessment surrounding issues of racial and gender equity in student discipline. But when the subject turned to money, no one would comment.

“I’m not allowed to talk about that,” said National Center for Youth Law senior attorney Michael Harris. “Both the defendants and the plaintiffs have agreed not to say anything about whether there were damages awarded as a part of the settlement.”

Eureka City Schools Superintendent Fred Van Vleck similarly declined comment, but public documents offer clarity.

The documents show that the settlement awards each of the four plaintiffs $27,500, with two of them getting up to another $2,000 in reimbursements for tutoring expenses. And the four plaintiffs lawyers are to be paid $600,000 — $137,133 in cost reimbursements, with the balance going to pay attorney fees.

None of that money will come directly out of Eureka City Schools’ coffers, however. The district is a part of a joint powers authority that’s under the umbrella of Northern California ReLiEF, which acts of as an insurance pool for hundreds of schools and districts. The setup allows schools to share liability and risk, but

8 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • THURSDAY, FEB. 26, 2015 • northcoastjournal.com

sacrifices local control.

Speaking generally and not about any specific case, Van Vleck said when a lawsuit is filed against the district, Northern California ReLiEF takes up the defense. Its attorneys then negotiate any potential settlement and defense, with little — if any — input from the district.

“It becomes a business decision for the insurance carriers,” Van Vleck said, adding that an ultimate jury award of $1 to one plaintiff can leave a defendant responsible for exorbitant attorney fees.

While settlements and awards of damages don’t come out of Northern California ReLiEF’s members’ budgets, they can affect premiums and deductibles, just as an auto insurance claim would, Van Vleck said.

When looking at the $600,000 attorneys received in this case compared to the much smaller sums taken home by the plaintiffs, it might be easy to think the case was little more than a fundraiser for the ACLU and the National Center. But University of California Hastings College of Law professor David Levine cautioned against jumping to that conclusion.

For one, Levine said governing rules dictate that attorneys can only charge going market rates in case settlements.

And, he said, it’s important to remember that these kinds of cases are generally taken with the understanding that if they succeed the defendant will pay attorney fees, and if they don’t the plaintiffs’ attorneys walk away with nothing. But Levine said the real question at hand in judging whether attorney fees are excessive is how much work went into the case.

“How much litigation took place before they got that settlement?” he asked. “Do you have a case file that’s a couple of feet thick, or one that’s one sheet of paper?”

Court documents indicate lawyers with the ACLU, the National Center and a firm offering pro-bono services counseled all four defendants and their guardians on

the case regularly, deposed more than 20 witnesses, submitted written requests for documents and ultimately reviewed and exchanged thousands of pages of documents. And that’s all after the case was filed. Levine said plaintiffs’ attorneys have to pour a lot of hours into a case before filing — “due diligence to make sure a case is well grounded in fact and law.”

Based on the brief accounting provided in a sworn declaration by Harris, it seems Eureka City Schools and Northern California ReLiEF may have received a steep discount. Harris states in the document that plaintiffs’ counsel, valued at current market rates, put more than $3 million into the case but substantially discounted its fees during negotiations to achieve a quick settlement that was in the best interest of its clients. Together, the ACLU and National Center discounted their rates by 20 percent for senior attorneys and 40 percent for junior attorneys, which still left a $1.8 million bill for fees and costs. The ultimate settlement amount, Harris states, “constitutes a two-thirds reduction to the alreadysubstantially discounted fees and costs.”

The damages awarded the plaintiffs in the case will mostly be put in trust funds that the court will oversee until the students turn 18 (25, in one case). The court approved several exceptions to that, including releasing $4,500 from one plaintiff’s account to allow his family to buy a used car. Currently the family is carless, and the teen doesn’t feel safe taking the bus. The family pledged to transfer the vehicle’s title to the teen on his 16th birthday. Another exception approved using some of the trust funds to purchase clothes for a teen who regularly speaks at United Indian Health Services and Yurok Tribe events on suicide prevention. The other exception was to release $2,400 to one guardian to pay for a year’s worth of twice-monthly therapy sessions with a counselor specializing in treating adolescents who have suffered trauma. l

Coffee with the Captains

A crowd of almost 30 citizens, public officials and police officers squeezed into Vellutini’s Bakery in Henderson Center the morning of Feb. 24 for the Eureka Police Department’s first “Coffee With the Captains” — an informal sit-down with local law enforcement.

Suzie Owsley, with the city’s Problem Oriented Policing team (POP), said this gathering was one of many EPD has planned in order to facilitate discussion between officers and community members. Future events may include block parties and gatherings at different locations throughout Eureka.

As Owsley educated several concerned residents about recent phone scams, Capt. Steve Watson sat down with local business owners to answer their questions about property crimes, robberies and homelessness.

“We get people who come into our business and you can’t tell if they’re high or insane, or both. They just scream. It’s off-putting to customers,” said Todd Hudy, co-owner with his wife, Tanya, of a new vintage furnishing store in Old Town called If. Nodding, Watson said he sympathized with the frustrations of business owners, and that the department had noticed an uptick in similar issues since the implementation of Proposition 47.

“Unfortunately, you can’t arrest your way out of these problems,” he said, adding that Proposition 47 will eventually translate into expanded services for the mentally ill and addicted, ultimately reducing crime. “Prop. 47 has allowed us to concentrate on the worst of the worst and keep them behind bars. Burglary, for example, is an automatic felony. We’ve seen a 40 percent drop in burglaries over the last month.”

Referring to the issue of homelessness, Watson replied that raiding camps and moving people around just “creates displacement.”

“Obviously we can’t let it get to a Lord of the Flies situation where camps get entrenched, but when we clean up a camp all we do is reshuffle the deck.”

Watson added that the current number of officers on patrol at any given time was insufficient to adequately address concerns, but that his department was working on a grant that would add staff members.

“Crime rates are based on actual census numbers for Eureka, which is roughly 28,000 people,” he said. “That doesn’t take into account commuters, tourists, people just passing through. On an average night shift we have only four officers

on patrol.”

This number elicited a gasp from several citizens at Watson’s table, who followed up with questions about how they could bridge the gap. The captain encouraged them to form neighborhood watch groups and other community organizations.

“You can be a strong voice of support for law enforcement, and your community,” he said.

Weekend Crashes Leave Three Dead

Just before 10 p.m. on Feb. 20, motorcyclist Jerry Dean Hathcock, 54, of Eureka, was killed when hit by an oncoming car on State Route 299 east of Lord Ellis Summit.

Andrew Joseph James Carrigan, 24, of San Francisco, crossed double yellow lines on a curve in an attempt to pass cars, when Hatchcock came into view and was struck by Carrigan’s car, according to a CHP press release. Hathcock died at the scene. Carrigan was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. DUI was not a factor, according to the CHP. On Feb. 21, 19-year-old Kendra Paige Leialoha Lewis, of Blue Lake, was killed when Kade Chandler crashed his truck into a tree on State Route 36 east of Swimmer’s Delight. Passenger Savannah Kiana Kindred, 21, of Capitola, died in the hospital on the morning of Feb. 23.

According to a CHP press release, Chandler was under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol and driving at an “unsafe speed” when he failed to negotiate a curve and hit a tree before rolling down an embankment. Neither woman was wearing a seatbelt, according to the CHP. Chandler was arrested on suspicion of DUI and vehicular manslaughter before being released to Redwood Memorial Hospital.

McClain, 22, was shot by EPD officer Stephen Linfoot after being held at gunpoint by another officer in front of his home on Allard Avenue early on the morning of Sept. 17, according to police. A multi-agency review called the shooting justified, as officers reported that McClain was reaching for a realistic-looking BB gun in his waistband when Linfoot opened fire.

No criminal charges were filed against the officer.

Bigfoot Gets Real

First there’s just cheery bird-chirp amid the sunshine. Then deep breathing, and the video camera takes us into the dark forest. Heavy, deliberate footsteps, crunching sticks, more breathing, menacing music, towering redwood silhouettes that interrupt sprays of light, a few ferns glowing bright … and the beast, walking quickly, then loping, splashing through a creek, then breaking into an all-out sprint!

Away from you? At you? Aghhhhhh!

So much for hunting for Bigfoot.

Because, he seems to be hunting you. Or someone.

This is a scene from a trailer for a new, indie Bigfoot movie in the making, Primal Rage: The Legend of Oh-Mah. It’s “a love project” of director Patrick Magee, says Humboldt-Del Norte Film Commissioner Cassandra Hesseltine. Magee’s the genius behind the special effects in some major movies, including Spiderman, Jurassic Park III and Artificial Intelligence. The film crew’s wrapping filming on private land

amid second-growth redwood forest near Crescent City. Hesseltine recently saw some of the action, and says the main character of the film — Bigfoot — is an animatronic creation of Magee’s that is truly impressive.

“It breathes, and there are different things the face can do,” she says. “The special effects were just crazy. They looked real. I believed what I was watching.”

Magee spent six years creating the Bigfoot suit and co-writing the script with Jay Lee, who’s also the cinematographer and editor. On the Stan Winston School of Character Arts webpage for Primal Rage, Magee calls the project a life-long dream, a “character-based Bigfoot thriller, as Bigfoot has never been seen before. It’s PREDATOR meets FIRST BLOOD meets PUMPKINHEAD, with this re-envisioning of the Bigfoot legends.”

He’s most proud of the “ultimate Bigfoot suit” (outta the way, cheeseball Bigfoot hoaxters with your modified gorilla suits and wooden feet): “Every little detail, from sculpted toe-prints to the nose hairs individually punched into the face were thought out and executed to perfection.

With a team of mold-makers, casters, fabricators, hair punchers and mechanics at my side, I sculpted and painted every inch of the suit.”

As for the story: A wife picks up her husband when he gets out of prison, which is “deep in the forest” of Northern California, and they get attacked by a sadistic, warped Oh-Mah (“Bigfoot” in an unspecified Native American language).

Fun, ahem, ensues. And terror.

The Stoned Housewives of Humboldt County

By Grant Scott-Goforth grant@northcoastjournal.com

T

he Hoopa Valley Tribe will vote this year on whether to allow medical pot growing on tribal lands.

Native American tribes around the nation are deciding how to react to the federal government’s announcement last year that it will let tribes decide on their own marijuana laws, a hands-off approach similar to the U.S. Department of Justice’s newfound attitude toward states that have legalized recreational pot.

Several Hoopa tribal members were quick to take advantage of that relaxation of federal policy, and a petition to legalize cultivation on the reservation gained enough votes to appear on the tribe’s April 28 ballot, according to the Two Rivers Tribune.

The tribal council has not taken a position on marijuana growing, a practice the tribe currently prohibits. And lifting the ban would not necessarily legalize the use of marijuana, the Tribune reports. There is a zero-tolerance drug policy for tribal employees. ● Legalization went online in Alaska on Feb. 28, months after voters approved

home cultivation, pot swapping and possession. According Rolling Stone, getting high in public is still a no-no, which derailed a planned outdoor celebration on repeal day. [Insert Alaska-is-cold-who’sgonna-smoke-outside joke here.] ● When I got an email a few months ago heralding the existence of a web series called The Stoned Housewives of Humboldt County, I was excited. Would it be documentary or satire? There’s a rich world to explore under the canopy of that title, and a lot of opportunity for humor and important commentary.

Unfortunately, judging by the promo reel finally released on YouTube, there’s not a lot to look forward to. The “#HILARIOUS #parody,” from the makers of the Naked Weed Report, isn’t much more than a series of greenscreen-backed confessionals with young women dressed in tube tops calling each other bitches.

The plot, or what there is of it, appears to center around some sort of dispute over a marijuana-themed cookbook, which comes to a head in a Borders bookstore (never mind that the company went under in 2011). Or rather, actors on a greenscreen in front of a picture of an interior of a Borders bookstore. There’s a drag queen (maybe?) and

a bunch of shots of exhaling smoke.

The whole thing seems like a cash-in on the Humboldt brand without any real understanding of what makes Humboldt Humboldt. Or, maybe they nailed it.

Google “Stoned Housewives of Humboldt County” to judge for yourself.

Humboldt-Del Norte Film Commissioner Cassandra Hesseltine says the web series “definitely does not look shot here,” and also felt that the producers sort of missed the Humboldt character. “There’s no way in hell they’re really saying that’s what it’s like here,” she said with a laugh.

Hesseltine said several people previously pitched serious reality shows about the lives of Humboldt growers and their husbands and wives, but the idea hasn’t stuck. At this point, she said, reality TV has reached a saturation point, especially those in the “Real Housewives of …” vein.

Plus, there are legal issues.

“How do you show these people that are growers and prove that they’re growers and not get them in trouble?”

Hesseltine said.

How indeed? Humboldt’s an untapped vein of wacky entertainment and serious cultural study. Let’s be the ones who decide what the real housewives of Humboldt County look like. ●

35 Days in the Forum Unified Students’ sit-in shines a light on Native issues at HSU

By J. Daniel Fernandez

T

he room is quiet. It’s 9 a.m. on a day in late January and students are spread out across the stadium seating of the Native American Forum at Humboldt State University. The smell of burnt coffee wafts through the air as they listen to an instructor discuss last week’s reading.

It’s almost like any other second week of class, except for the small group of protesters who sit along the outskirts of the forum.

A few days later, all instructors were officially banned from holding classes in the space due to administrators’ concerns over “some faculty and students who were uncomfortable and intimidated by the educational environment in the room,” according to a university press release. But those protesters would remain in the forum for weeks — 35 days in total — before suspending their sit-in sometime after midnight on Feb. 23, and, as a show of good faith, committing to mediation sessions with HSU President Lisa Rossbacher and other administrators beginning March 3.

“We all got together and, on the advice of our elders, we decided to leave the forum to show that we are coming to mediation in a peaceful manner,” said Michael Ramirez, a junior ethnic and American studies major. “[President Rossbacher] has made statements that she wants to include us in the decision-making process and we’re taking her at her word. We are leaving the forum in an act of good faith, so we can go into talks without hostility and with clear, rested minds.”

Exactly what the group — dubbed Unified Students of Humboldt — achieved in taking over the Native American Forum remains to be seen. To date, none of the Unified Students’ demands have been met. But it’s clear they started a conversation. As students and alumni protesters filed in and out of the forum in recent weeks — subsisting on food donated by supporters, with coffee, tea and water serving as liquid staples — news of their residency in a campus classroom was covered by local news outlets.

The protests gave voice to long sim-

mering frustrations among some on campus — frustrations that began to bubble over last October when HSU fired Jacquelyn Bolman, who for nine years had directed the school’s Indian Natural Resources, Science and Engineering Program.

Some saw the firing of Bolman, a popular and by all accounts dedicated mentor to Native American students on campus, not as an isolated incident, but as just the latest in a long line of systemic assaults on the Native American Studies major and support services for indigenous students that had been going on for more than a decade.

On Oct. 9, 2014,

campus administrators — under the direction of Rossbacher — informed Bolman that they were ending her at-will contract, effective immediately, two days prior to the start of the 21st annual Indigenous People’s Week on campus. She was escorted out of the Indian Native Resources, Science and Engineering Program (INRSEP) house in front of crying

students. School officials simultaneously changed door codes and refused to allow students into the building.

The firing set off a series of protests — “the largest the campus has seen since Vietnam,” according to Conor Handley, one of the organizers of the Unified Students of Humboldt. Hundreds of students walked out of class one Tuesday and flooded the campus quad, where there were drum circles and impassioned speeches. Students described Bolman as a mentor and an ally, someone who cared about them and their educations.

Shenae Bishop, a 23-year-old HSU alum, was one of the Unified Students taking up residence in the Native American Forum.

She said she was there, in large part, to support Bolman, who helped her when she showed up at INRSEP, a unique academic and research program that seeks to integrate indigenous people’s traditional knowledge with the Western mainstream approach to science. “I was embarrassed to be a theater arts major around a bunch of science students,” she said. “But Dr.

It is really unfortunate language used in that this type of reporting can affect our ability for future funding.”

School administrators filed a petition to have Bolman’s statements redacted from official reports. Two weeks after firing Bolman, HSU announced it was one of eight campuses to receive part of the $4.6 million STEM programs grant.

“Grants are political currency on campus,” said Joseph Giovannetti, a professor in the Native American studies department. “You get points and accolades for getting grants. Money coming to the university is what matters.”

To hear

protesters tell it, Bolman’s troubles began in in the summer of 2013, when her Indian Natural Resources, Science and Engineering Program was moved from the purview of HSU’s College of Natural Resources and placed under the Office of Retention and Inclusive Student Success (RISS), which is directed

by Webley.

Handley, one of the organizers of the sit-in, said Bolman received nine years of exemplary reviews from her supervisors before coming under Webley’s

supervision. Then, Bolman received poor reviews, according to Handley, who said Bolman showed him and a handful of other students her reviews as proof the administration was out to get rid of both her and INRSEP. Moving the 40-year-old INRSEP came as part of a large restructuring plan by the university. As Webley explained, it was the best way to organize student support. She said similar services provided by programs in different departments often overlapped, and students could find themselves getting advice from three different areas, each offering different

14 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • THURSDAY, FEB. 26, 2015 • northcoastjournal.com

solutions and direction.

But it’s this ongoing restructuring that Bolman, and many protesters, resented.

Bolman’s report mentioned the move, which she said came with a “significant reduction in funding,” Sarah Caligiuri, a Native American studies major, put that reduction at roughly $40,000 and said INRSEP has been reduced to a student club. “Every time our programs get transferred we lose funding, staff and parts of our identity,” she said.

“In spring 2014, INRSEP students looked at the budget and saw discretionary funds were missing.”

Technically, the funds were not missing. When the program was placed in Retention and Inclusive Student Success, it was no longer eligible for discretionary funding provided by the College of Natural Resources and Sciences.

Webley said the $40,000 was a one-time allocation and that the base budget actually went up from $157,577 in the 2010-2011 budget to $270,071 in 2013-2014.

But because the $40,000 was discretionary funding to be used on field trips, attending conferences and other activities and the base-budget increase largely went to staff salaries and benefits, the perception among protesters was that INRSEP lost funding in the move and that Webley actively worked to have Bolman fired.

When protesters initially released their demands, the firing of Webley and the dissolution of RISS were high on the list.

For her part, Webley feels she’s been wrongly singled out. “Students are looking for someone to hold accountable

and as [Bolman’s] supervisor, I became the target,” she said. “I understand the impulse to blame someone, but it’s just not justified.”

In recent years,

HSU has worked to raise its population of traditionally underrepresented students. In October 2013, it qualified as a “Hispanicserving institution” — a university with an undergraduate full-time enrollment of at least 25 percent Hispanic students.

The following year, the school’s Wildlands Resource Department announced it had received a four-year, $1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to increase the enrollment and retention of Hispanic and other underrepresented students in forestry, range and soils at HSU. In an email to the Journal, HSU spokesman Frank Whitlatch said, “Efforts to increase diversity are embedded within our recruitment strategy. We also take part in various CSU system initiatives to better reach out to, and serve, underrepresented communities.”

Part of the school’s strategy includes two full-time recruiters based in the Bay Area and Southern California, as well as international recruiters who travel overseas, including to China.

A 2014 enrollment report found that, between the fall of 2012 and the fall of 2014, the enrollment of Latinos on campus increased 35 percent, Asian-American enrollment rose more than 18 percent and the university’s African-American population rose by 10 percent.

Records from HSU’s 2004-2009 Strategic Plan and from the Office of Institutional Research and Planning show that under President Rollin Richmond (whose tenure ran from May 2002 through July 2014), the population of self-identified indigenous students fell nearly 60 percent, from 199 down to 83.

During the same time, HSU’s enrollment doubled, from roughly 4,000 students to 8,000. Where indigenous students used to make up 5 percent of the population on campus, they now account for only 1 percent.

Webley said those numbers are a bit skewed due to a change three or four years ago in the way students are counted by the state and may not be indicative of the true number of indigenous students on campus. However, the downward trend is still visible, even when using numbers prior to the change.

And it’s not just student numbers that are down. Giovannetti, the Native American Studies professor who entered the Faculty Early Retirement Program this year, said in 2003 there were 4.5 full-time professors. “Since then I think we have only had the equivalent of 2.4,” he said.

Giovannetti also pointed out that funds from the Native American studies budget are currently being used by administrators to pay the salary of a professor in the anthropology department.

Currently there are 12 courses being taught by four adjunct faculty, also known as part-time or contingent instructors. “They make about 30 percent of what a professor earns,” Giovannetti said in an email to the Journal. “Using adjuncts is no substitute for having permanent, tenure-track faculty. The administration never followed through on the promise to hire two tenure-track faculty in 2003. It took two years before Marlon Sherman was hired tenure track.

Then [a provost] got a case of amnesia after promising that the [Native American studies] department would receive another tenure-track position during the 2004-2005 academic year. It never happened. It is very much like the history of Indian treaty promises. All broken.”

But tensions between Na-

tive American groups far predate the administration of Rollin Richmond. One could argue they stem back a century, to when Humboldt State College was built on what used to be Wiyot land.

Richmond’s predecessor, Alistair McCrone, was the subject of faculty protests due to the university’s treatment of the Native American studies department. He even faced a lawsuit

16 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • THURSDAY, FEB. 26, 2015 • northcoastjournal.com

HSU PRESIDENT LISA ROSSBACHER FILE PHOTO

claiming racial discrimination and harassment brought by Giovannetti and other plaintiffs that was settled out of court.

(Richmond later faced a similar suit that all parties agreed to drop.)

The university’s relationship with local tribes has also been rocky at times. In 2013, HSU closed its Center for Indian Community Development, which had been established in 1996 to provide services and outreach to Indian communities on behalf of the university. That same year, the Northern California Tribal Chairmen’s Association — a group made up of leaders from 11 tribal nations — protested on campus after administrators failed to implement the recommendations of a tribal working group.

The 12-person group — split evenly between tribal members and university officials, all appointed by Richmond — spent two years crafting its recommendations, which included the creation of a tribal liaison and enhanced Native American recruiting efforts.

In a 2013 press release, Yurok Chairman Thomas O’Rourke Sr. said, “HSU President Richmond flat out ignored the work group’s reorganizational plan and recommendations. This plan would have greatly increased our students’ ability to succeed, at a time when Native American enrollment at the university is in a freefall because of how it treats indigenous people.”

During a recent interview with the Lumberjack newspaper, Richmond was asked why the university denied the group’s final recommendations. His reply was to partly blame the indigenous community. “In part, I think it was a consequence of differences between the tribes themselves,” he said. “They rarely fully agree with each other, and also there are particular political needs of some individuals.”

To protesters, the university’s decision not to implement the work group’s recommendations was reminiscent of its

by Vine Deloria Jr., which called for sensitivity classes for all majors and a fulltime Native American recruiter. Sitting in the Native American Forum, Handley said it’s clear indigenous people are being marginalized on campus and have been for some time.

“We’re in the middle of the highest population of native people in California, in the state with the most … native people in the whole country,” he said.

“Humboldt State should be the premier institution for Native Americans. Instead, they’re leaving. They don’t want to leave, but they don’t want to deal with the trauma of dealing with HSU.” But it’s not only indigenous students who feel they have been marginalized on campus. Naomi Waters, president of the Black Student Union, pointed out that February was Black History Month, yet “no one in the administration, [student government], not even the Office of Diversity and Inclusion, have any planned activities to celebrate the month.”

More relevant to what transpired at the Native American Forum, Waters said she is still upset about losing her adviser, Dr. Steven Bell, last year. “We still don’t know what happened,” she said of Bell, who worked in the Office of Diversity and Inclusion under Webley. “He was asked to leave the week before school ended. He was the reason I got involved with school activities. He was one of the few people to give me answers I knew to be true.”

Bell was also the adviser to F.R.E.E., a school club dedicated to the retention and graduation of low-income and undocumented students.

In addition to Bolman and Bell, the university also dismissed two staff members who Handley said were vocal advocates and mentors. “Grace Cardenas was a big loss to the Asian community — they’re still mad about it,” Handley said. “They also fired Antonio Lopez, a librarian who was organizing a scholarship for undocumented students with F.R.E.E.” Cardenas, who was the director of the Centers for Academic Excellence, was also supervised by Webley.

It was against this

backdrop that a group of students, alumni and community members gathered Jan. 18 and 19 for a Native American Activism Conference in the forum. After two days of speakers and workshops, the Unified Students of Humboldt announced they weren’t leaving and renamed the space the Dr. Jacquelyn Bolman Forum.

A 35-day standoff ensued. Administrators said they respected the group’s right

to protest and assembly, but rescheduled classes away from the forum. President Rossbacher, who declined to be interviewed for this story, twice met with protesters, pledging to work with them to address their concerns. Though the Unified Students were in violation of school policy, exposing members to disciplinary action and arrest, the University Police Department met with them and refrained from taking action.

“We understand that the Native American Forum is a sacred space to [the protesters],” new University Police Chief Donn Peterson said recently. “Everyone has been very peaceful and respectful.

People lose sight of why we’re there. My job is to protect life and property, but the question is, ‘What are we doing to protect students and their constitutional rights?’”

Peterson said his staff includes two officers of indigenous descent who work with local tribes. “I have a support group that keeps me grounded and helps me make good decisions,” he said. “We need to be understanding of the deeper issues.”

Michael Ramirez, the ethnic and American studies major who has spent much of the spring semester in the forum as a part of Unified Students, said the group could have held the space — occupying it, liberating it or simply residing in it, depending on who you ask — for months.

“It wasn’t that hard,” he said, likening it to summer camp and noting that protesters woke up every morning to traditional Native American songs. The group had plenty of food donated from the community, he said, and planned carefully to make sure all protesters made it to class and got plenty of sleep. “Besides missing my cat, we managed to be very comfortable and we’ve left the forum the way we found it.”

But the group decided to take a step back, having taken Rossbacher, who took over as HSU’s president at the beginning of the school year, at her word that she is committed to working with them. The group’s demands are clear and, if all else fails, Ramirez said coming back to the forum is an option.

And if life on campus simply returns to normal and the protesters don’t get their demands met? Handley said the group will still have left a mark.

“Every single person involved will remember this for the rest of their lives and (it will) inspire them to be activists and get involved,” he said.

Or, in Ramirez’s words: “It wasn’t a sacrifice, but an investment.” l J. Daniel Fernandez is a freelance journalist living in Eureka.

Bowl), and for another, if it’s your one evening out with babysitting, finally sharing adult conversation and eating with two free hands, pureed food is the very thing you do not want to see. So you drag your finger down the menu at Robert Goodman’s Machine Works restaurant (937 10th

St., Arcata) and skip right down to something fancier.

But the Tuscan white bean dip, which arrives looking very much like a wide bowl of pale soup, is the thing you want ($10).

The cannellini beans are whipped smooth and thinned out with cream and melted Parmesan cheese. There is sautéed kale (but not enough to make you feel righteous), herbed breadcrumbs and a swirl of truffle oil. Fancy. The half-dozen slices of grilled bread are lovely swiped in the stuff, but you will need more of them. Order extra in advance (unless you want to get some fries? What?) so it doesn’t get weird when you’re out of bread and waiting to see who at the table is going to lose it and dip a spoon or a finger in first.

Crab Invasion

In the same way that pumpkin-spiced everything shows up in the fall, in winter legions of crab specialties hit our county like Attack of the Crab Monsters, which maybe you caught during the Crab Festival. The overwhelm — not to mention the underwhelm — is enough to send you straight back to cracking your own.

Retreating into reactionary crab fundamentalism is safe enough (when has the boiled or steamed dungie ever let you down?), but you’d be missing out on the possibilities.

Take a chance on the fettuccine with crab ($29.95, $24.95 a la carte) at Sea Grill (316 E St., Eureka). Firm pasta is tossed in a seriously creamy Alfredo sauce and fresh crab meat. The sauce is rich with cream, not gluey, but neither it nor the sprinkle of Parmesan overpowers the crab’s sweetness. It will, however, seize up a bit if you let it go cool, so pause your conversation and eat. A dining companion declared this decadent

The Bering Strait, scientists speculate, could have once been a land bridge between Asia and North America. Just a hop, skip and a jump across some glaciers, and yet we’ve had to wait thousands of years for that hybrid of Asian and Mexican cuisine, the Korean taco. It’s a schlepp to the Creamery District parking spot of the Taco Faktory truck on L Street between Ninth and 10th streets in Arcata (Richard’s Goat Tavern & Tea Room at 401 I St. in Arcata has the tacos on occasion), but not when you consider that hike across the Bering Strait.

Or when you get your $4 pair of Korean barbecue beef and pork tacos. (There are whispers about a Thai burrito, but it only shows up on Wednesdays.) The warm corn tortillas are heaped with pyramids of smoky-sweet, juicy meat seasoned with deep-red Korean chili paste and topped with cilantro, lettuce and onion. Instead of brooding impatiently over a table-top grill and pretending to follow conversation with your Los Angeles friends while you wait for your next bite of meat to cook, get instant gratification. A squeeze of lime and you’re there.

You’re not the boss of me, changing sea levels and shifting land masses. Mere geography cannot stop destiny. Or the Korean taco. l What food discoveries have you made in your travels around Humboldt?

What to wear and where to go

et’s mix it up a bit. Pick something you wouldn’t usually gravitate toward and give it a go. Remember, you can always leave discreetly, especially if you sit in the back and duck out during a break. At least you’ll have attempted to expand your horizons.

Friday: High-falutin’, funk or a holler?

WHO: Craig Hull and the Humboldt Symphony WHEN: Friday, Feb. 27 at 8 p.m.

WHERE: Fulkerson Recital Hall TICKETS: $8, $5, HSU free

PHOTO COURTESY OF THE ARTIST

When’s the last time you went to the symphony? Seems like a great excuse to put on your fancy clothes; you know, the ones you rarely get to wear in our casual, albeit amazing home. Shake out that suit, pick up your dress from the dry cleaners and pop out to see the Humboldt Symphony perform a concertino with student trombonist and concerto competition winner Craig Hull as soloist.

PHOTO COURTESY OF THE ARTIST

First performed in 1837, the “Concertino for Trombone and Orchestra” by German composer Ferdinand David became his most popular and most enduring composition. Works written expressly for trombone and orchestra are rare.

The program also features the first two movements of Antonin Dvorak’s cheerful and optimistic Symphony No. 8. The performance takes place in the Fulkerson Recital Hall at 8 p.m. Tickets are $8 general, $5 seniors, students and children, free to HSU students and available from the HSU Box Office or at the door.

Or maybe just tug on those dependable jeans and slide into your favorite hoodie to catch Portland guitarist/ bandleader Scott Pemberton celebrating the release of his new funk-jazz-rock album, Timber Rock. Known for his wild approach to the guitar — he plays without a strap, often piano-like — Pemberton has been referred to as “a modern day Jimi Hendrix.” Judge for yourself at Hum Brews, doors at 9 p.m., tickets are $12, 21-and-over.

I am not sure what you wear to the 5 Dollar Holler, but I imagine something sexy, easy to dance in and that won’t slow you down too much during the Arcata Theatre Lounge’s security pat-down. The show features six artists: Onhell, aka Angel Rubio-Hale “equipped with vintage synthesizers, cutting edge production tools and a drive for experimentation;” Hypha, “a specialized blend of synthesized, rhythmic bass poetry;” Jsun, “deep and techy, sultry and seductive, melodic bass with a touch of grime;” Middle Agent, “I love to make, listen to and experience music regularly;” Treemeista, “heady vibes and renegade rhythms;” and SuDs, who does this for “the passion the music brings.” Doors open at 9:30 p.m., tickets are $5 – a cheap chance to check out this scene if you’re not already familiar with it! – and the show is 21-and-over.

want — no one will notice in the madness. Doors at 7 p.m., tickets $18 advance general, $15 for Playhouse members and $20 at the door. Tickets are available at Wildberries Marketplace and online at www.arcataplayhouse.org.

Humboldt’s most successful monthly dance party — yes, we’re talking about Soul Night — shimmies into its 40th shindig with DJs Jaymorg, Red and Matt ‘n’ Adam. Expect all-vinyl funk and soul Martin Sexton is a classic rock ’n’ roller sets. Wear your boldest outfit for this in the best way, embodying everything one, folks: those wacky pants you bought that appeals about all your favorite old on a whim at a Haight Street vintage shop, hits. Along with folk-rockers Brothers Mcthat glittering crop top with the long Cann, Sexton plays at the Arcata Theatre swooshy sleeves, and shoes that will slide Lounge. Dress casual — this is a seated across that dance floor, natch. Advance show. Tickets are $20 general and availtickets recommended and available for able at the usual outlets. Doors at 7 p.m., $5 at Humboldt Brews and Missing Link 21-and-over.

Records. Doors at 9 p.m., 21-andover.

Alternate suggestion: Wear whatever’s cute and comfy to hear local radio faves Scuber Mountain and funkmasters Soulsapiens at the Jambalaya.

Doors at 9:30 p.m., $5 cover, 21-and-over.

Most of us have that favorite pair of jeans that we wear until we find ourselves popping out of our car one innocent afternoon only to hear that particular rip notifying you that your crotch seam has rather fantastically busted out. I would not recommend wearing those until you deal with that situation, but an old pair of jeans and a black T-shirt can be sexy as hell and totally apropos for a gig boasting heavy rock from Shively in the WHO: Scott Pemberton form of Blackplate, plus Eureka WHEN: Friday, Feb. 27 at 9 p.m. acoustipunk darling The Bored WHERE: Humboldt Brews Again.

Hello, Cowboy

Mel Brooks never met a genre he didn’t want to mess with. But those old Westerns (spaghetti or otherwise) that played on TV Saturday afternoons were already pretty nuts. From Italians in red-face to hookers with hearts of gold, it’s a wonder it took Brooks until 1974 to make his glorious sendup Blazing Saddles. See it in all its big-screen glory on Friday, Feb. 27 at 7:30 p.m. in the Eureka Theater ($5).

And Brooks, with fellow screenwriter Richard Pryor, hits all the buttons on the elevator. Harvey Korman is the corrupt politician, Gene Wilder is the washed-up gunslinger, Madeline Kahn is the Dietrich-esque German saloon siren, Brooks shows up as a Yiddish-speaking Native American and Cleavon Little is the new African-American sheriff in town. Of course.

The one-liners, slapstick, sight gags and musical numbers are gold. Kahn’s “I’m Tired” number all but steals the movie, which is saying something given the hams with whom she’s working. The faint of heart should steel themselves for racist townspeople (it’s the ‘70s and Pryor is on board, so brace for n-bombs, folks) and a guy punching out a horse. It’s hilarious right to the beyond meta ending and the final ride into the sunset.

Tres Noches

On the cusp of the Cuban slave rebellion, a mixed-race woman in 19th century Cuba woos a white man by using her religion — Santería, a blend of Yoruba mythology, Catholicism and in-digenous tradition. During a 40-day Uruguayan Carnival in Montevideo, an illiterate 11-year-old newsboy of African descent learns to read from the newspaper office’s night janitor, a seemingly magical character. In a Caracas, Venezuela, housing project, a 9-year-old boy of European, Af-rican and indigenous descent despairs over his curly hair as his school’s picture day looms, and tries to straighten it: Enter blow dryers, mayonnaise and fed-up mom.

Three films, encompassing the theme “African Heritage in Latin America,” comprise the heart of the 17th Annual International Latino Film Festival, March 3 through 5, co-hosted by College of the Redwoods and Humboldt State University. Guest speaker Dr. Armando Chávez-Rivera — journalist, Spanish professor and Cuban literature expert — introduces each film. He and a host of moderators and panelists lead discussion afterward. The films (Spanish with English subtitles) are free for SPAN/HIST/ES 396 and SPAN 99A students, and $5 (at the door) for eve-ryone else. Each night runs from 6 to 10:20 p.m. at the Minor Theatre in Arcata.

Movie� Times Heads Up…

Film times reflect the most current listings as of Tuesday afternoon. As schedules at individual theaters sometimes change, we recommend calling ahead to avoid any inconvenience.

Fancy Dancer

According to the Facebook user quoted on his website, Sherman Alexie “looked more Indian when his hair was long.” No matter. Alexie, a Spokane/Coeur d’Alene Indian, has Native American writer cred to more than cover it. The prolific (24 books!) poet and fiction writer has a PEN/Faulkner fiction award, a PEN/Malamud short fiction award, a PEN/Hemingway citation for first fiction and a National Book award for his YA book The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian. He also wrote the genuinely funny and sweet screenplay for Smoke Signals, and the man holds can render Stephen Colbert speechless.

Google it.

You’ve got two chances to listen to Alexie read and tell stories on Thursday, March 5. Since his book of short stories and poems War Dances is the book of the year at College of the Redwoods and Humboldt State University, he’ll be speaking at both campuses. At 1 p.m., catch him at College of the Redwoods Theatre and stick around for the Q & A and book signing that follows (free). Maybe see if you can rile him up about online booksellers. Booked during the afternoon? Contact Center Arts for free tickets and listen to Alexie spin yarns at the Van Duzer Theatre at 7 p.m.

SOME OUTFITS ARE TIMELESS.

Time Trials

Hot Tub 2’s wrinkles, McFarland’s runner’s high

By John J. Bennett filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

HOT TUB TIME MACHINE 2. The first installment was winningly clever and absurd, so it was disappointing to learn that John Cusack would not reprise his role, and that the movie’s release date was pushed back from Christmas Day to February. The latter is never a good sign, usually indicating a lack of confidence on the part of the studio. (Wes Anderson’s multiple-Oscar-winning Grand Budapest Hotel overcame its humble late March release critically and commercially, but it is a rare exception). Which is all to say that my initial rush of enthusiasm for Hot Tub Time Machine 2 had been well tempered with trepidation when it finally came time to watch the movie. This may have been a

good thing, as it met, if not exceeded, my slightly lowered expectations.

In the Hot Tub universe, time has been good to our protagonists. Since discovering a hot tub time machine in Hot Tub Time Machine, the boys have gone on to considerable success. Nick (Craig Robinson) has built an enviable career as a producer/performer by appropriating hits from Hanson, Nirvana and Lisa Loeb, among others. Lou (Rob Corddry) is one of the richest men in the world, having transitioned from fronting a hair metal band to starting and helming Internet juggernaut Lougle. Jacob (Clark Duke) pretty much just hangs out, not entirely satisfied. Adam (Cusack) is in the wind, vaguely referenced only occasionally.

When someone tries to assassinate Lou at a company party by shooting him in the genitals, Nick and Jacob pull him into the time machine — conveniently stashed in his mansion — to go back in time and stop the attack. Somehow, though, they find themselves in a parallel-universe in 2025, where their lives have followed slightly different trajectories. They enlist the aid of Adam’s son Adam (Adam Scott) on the eve of his wedding and attempt to readjust the future and return to the past.

On balance, the things to like about Hot Tub Time Machine 2 outweigh the rest.

The cast is funny, as always, although they generate more laughs when improvising than when on script. The movie’s concept of the near future, with its gender-neutral fashion, vengeful and intelligent automobiles and sleek, web-based masturba-

tion devices, has some clever, thoughtful touches. Unfortunately, the narrative starts to slide into over-earnestness in the second act and never completely recovers.

The focus shifts to Lou’s low self-worth, substance abuse and lack of concern for others, and we watch the comedy evaporate before our very eyes. I appreciate the thematic material, but this particular movie would have been well-served by a lighter touch and a little punch-up. R. 93m.

MCFARLAND USA. Somehow, I’m mildly shocked every time I see one of these Disney sports movies. Generally my sensibilities skew pretty dark, and if pulled into an interrogation room, I’d be unlikely to say PG-rated underdog movies from the middle of the mainstream are what pluck at my heart strings. But learning these things about ourselves keeps life interesting. And it turns out I’m a sucker for this stuff.

McFarland, USA opens in Boise, Idaho, at halftime of a high school football game.

Coach Jim White (Kevin Costner) is trying to motivate a team that seems to have no interest in competing, much less winning.

When the team captain won’t stop backtalking him, White throws a shoe at the kid, hits him in the face and gets fired. We learn that this — an aggressive outburst precipitating termination — is something of a pattern for our protagonist. An unsettling way to start a heart-warming story about overcoming our differences, but the movie buries the information so we can just move on. White moves his family to dusty, predominately Hispanic McFarland, California, home to the only school that will have him. The transition is a difficult one, both professionally and culturally. White butts heads with the football coach and gets drummed out of that program. In a moment of clarity, it occurs to him that many of the boys at McFarland High run insanely well. He sets out to build a cross-country program, against no little resistance from the students and their families, who rely on them as earners.

There is nothing surprising whatsoever about the narrative arc of McFarland, USA. Some of the patriotic elements (the white benefactor expanding the horizons of underprivileged kids, the montage set to the national anthem) are almost too much to take, but given the context I’m willing to let it slide. The story hits all the marks we’ve been trained to subconsciously expect from movies like these.

And even if it feels, at times, a little like an afternoon TV special, there are moments of joy and triumph that made me tear up, despite my best efforts. PG. 128m.

The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any shown herein. Trustor: Dan C.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

The Curious Case of Pluto

By Barry Evans

fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com

O

n July 14, NASA’s “New Horizons” spacecraft will zip past distant Pluto, 7,000 miles above its icy surface, while traveling at 25,000 mph. New Horizons will complete a saga that started 85 years ago this month in Flagstaff, Arizona. On Feb. 18, 1930, Clyde Tombaugh, a 23-year-old Kansas farm-boy-turned-astronomer, found Pluto by comparing telescopic photos of the same region of the night sky taken a week apart: Stars stay still, planets move.

As a planet, Pluto was always a bit suspect. Instead of moving roughly in the same plane as of that of Earth — the ecliptic — and the other planets, Pluto orbits at a steeply inclined 17 degrees.

And unlike the eight “true” planets which swing around the sun in more-or-less wellmannered circles, Pluto’s 248-year orbit is highly eccentric, swinging crazily between 30 and 50 times Earth’s distance from the sun. (For 20 years of each orbit, Pluto is actually closer to the sun than Neptune, with which it shares a 2:3 resonance; for every two orbits Pluto makes around the Sun, Neptune makes three.)

Another oddity about Pluto is that it’s really a binary object, since its main satellite, Charon, is relatively large, half the size of Pluto. Other than Earth and Pluto, the moons of the solar system are tiny compared to their parent bodies. Pluto and Charon, just 1,200 miles apart, are locked in orbit like a pair of waltzing dancers, with the same hemispheres always facing each other. Pluto itself is tiny, just two-thousandths the size of Earth.

Despite these anomalies, astronomers accepted Pluto as the ninth planet until 1992, when they started to question its classification. That’s the year that sky watchers spotted a second body orbiting beyond Neptune, and since then they’ve

found over 100 objects wandering those far reaches. Finally, in a controversial vote in 2006, the International Astronomical Union officially downgraded Pluto from “planet” to “dwarf planet.”

The trans-Neptunian neighborhood is the outermost region of the sun’s gravitational domain. Like Caesar’s Gaul, the solar system can be divided into three parts. The middle region is the home of the gas giants Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, while the innermost is our own — the realm of the rocky planets Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The region beyond Neptune holds particular interest for astronomers, not only because of Pluto and a handful of other dwarf planets, but because that’s where innumerable “Kuiper Belt Objects” (KBOs) are found. KBOs — basically big lumps of frozen methane, ammonia and water — are comprised of 5-billion-year-old virgin material that could help us understand the early history of the solar system. The plan is for New Horizons to visit one or more KBOs after its Pluto flyby.

Before then, in addition to taking detailed photos, the 1,000-pound spacecraft will look for evidence of a subsurface ocean on Pluto, similar to those on four moons of Jupiter and Saturn (Europa, Ganymede, Enceladus, Titan). The presence of liquid water beneath Europa’s icy surface is particularly intriguing to astronomers, who speculate on the possibility of finding microscopic life there. The discovery of a liquid water ocean on Pluto would similarly pose the question, Could life have arisen there? Too bad Tombaugh, who died in 1997, won’t be around to complete the round of discovery he initiated on that February morning 85 years ago. l Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo. com) finds it ironic that when New Horizons was launched, Pluto was officially designated a planet.
