Editor: I have just scoured the AM and FM radio dial to find the live broadcast of the most important hearing of current political time: the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to sit in a lifetime seat on the U.S. Supreme Court. The statements by the Senate Judicial Committee provide the most illuminating lessons in basic civics and governance that most Americans will ever hear.

But do we get to hear it on our North Coast radios? I can’t find it, and scramble to get pixelated streaming by KQED and sit in the room with the TV that gets CSPAN. Are we just victims of purposeful dumbing down by Sinclair or inept programming at KHSU? (“Static at KHSU,” Aug. 30.)

We bemoan the lack of knowledge of basic civics in the electorate — the Annenberg Poll found that “only one in four (26 percent) can name all three branches of the government.” Expletive!!

Can’t we do better than this in our own progressive, savvy, civil community?

Editor: Regarding your article, “Static at KHSU,” (Aug. 30), I find it ironic that Craig Wruck, one of the HSU administrators who signed off on the precipitous firing of long-time employee, Katie Whiteside, is calling for a KHSU Strategic Plan. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m in favor of developing a Strategic Plan. I’m just saying, this from a man who did not have, or ask for, a replacement and transition plan before firing a key employee. This from a man who says the on-going visioning and planning process will be transparent and inclusive, yet just unilaterally decided that all late-night, live broadcasts are to be cancelled, effective immediately. That sure was an exclusionary and opaque decision made without consulting staff, volunteers or the Community Advisory Board.

Effective immediately, all late-night, live broadcasts have to be prerecorded. Effective immediately certainly didn’t give latenight, live broadcasters any input into the decision or notice for pre-recording their shows. Again, no plan.

This man with no plan thinks he should be respected. How does that work when he shows no respect for the station, its staff, volunteers, Community Advisory Board or the community the station serves?

Things at KHSU are getting worse. Speak up, withhold your financial support and go to the next CAB meeting on Sept. 26.

Dispatches from the Commute Editor: I just finished reading your wonderful column, “Biking the Humboldt Bay Trail” in the Sept. 6 edition. The trail and safety corridor are my regular commute, so I really loved reading about your experience.

I completely agree about the lack of signage; a few weeks ago I was headed to work and found a very confused couple standing with their bikes at the big rocks at the end of the trail. I stopped and explained the whole situation; I think they turned around and went back to Arcata.

Signs would be great on both sides of the highway. I also would love at least a temporary access at Bayside Cutoff, but during the dry season I just walk my bike through the culvert. The Bay Trail is a beautiful ride, particularly early in the morning, before traffic gets crazy, and it’s quiet along the trail but for the birds.

The one thing I disagree with you about is those dratted eucalyptus trees. CalTrans cleans under them regularly, so you must have ridden it shortly after. I can attest

Editor: The letter by Rick Brennan (Mailbox, July) seems to turn the facts on their head. He has taken everything that could be reasonably attributed to right-wing positions and leveled them against the left. How can he twist things so egregiously? For example, how does he reconcile previous Republican animosities toward Russia with his new Putin sycophancy? Did Putin turn in his horns for wings? Has the Beast from the East stopped assassinating opponents and turned his regime into a paragon of hysterical — I mean historical — purity?

We can go on like this for years — or at least until the evidence overwhelms cast-in-concrete thinking that ignores what Trump/Bannon has called “the deconstruction of the administrative state,” meaning, for those who’ve not reached the sixth grade, doing away with the Constitution. What has Trump done other than to embarrass this country throughout the world?

Brennan is right that the catalog of horrors he provides could hasten “the end of the United States.” He is dead wrong in attributing these extremist views to any other than the far-right!

If you looked over the guard rail at the right spot, you will have seen the large limb that fell a couple of years ago. I also don’t like having to ride over all those seed cases; it can get ridiculously thick under there, making for a bumpy and disconcerting ride.

It has come to our attention that a cartoon that ran in the Aug. 23 edition of the Journal titled “Christie Ranch Entry at the County Fair” may have caused some unintended hurt feelings. The cartoon was intended as a commentary on the criminal allegations currently facing local rancher Ray Christie and was in no way intended to disparage other members of the Christie family or unrelated Christies, including those who show animals at the fair. The Journal regrets any confusion or pain caused by the cartoon.

Remembering Richard Guadagno, passenger 19A on Flight 93

By Kimberly Wear kim@northcoastjournal.com

S

eptember is an especially difficult month for Diqui LaPenta. On Tuesday, she marked 17 years since her boyfriend Richard Guadagno was killed amid the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. His birthday will soon follow.

Guadagno was just two weeks shy of turning 39 when he died, believed to be one of the passengers and crew who stormed the cockpit of Flight 93, bringing the plane down on an empty field rather than its intended target, thought to have been the U.S. Capitol.

The pain of his loss is evident as LaPenta recalls their time together, her voice raw with emotion as she talks about the man she knew and once thought she might marry.

“It’s a blessing to have loved so deeply to hurt so much,” she says. “No, it’s something you don’t get over, but you get

through it. Over and over again, you get through it.”

The two had begun dating in March of 2000 and although Guadagno liked to say the two met at Clam Beach, which she says is technically true, that’s really where they saw each other for the first time after becoming acquainted via online personals.

It was a doggy walking date, LaPenta says, he with his black German shepherd and constant companion “Raven” and she with her Australian shepherd mix “Aiki.”

They had a great deal in common, including a love of animals and backgrounds in biology. He managed the Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge and she’s a professor at College of the Redwoods and the associate dean for Math, Science, Behavioral and Social Science.

The plan had been to spend a couple of hours together but they decided to

go out for brunch and she knew almost immediately their connection had the makings of something special. “It was him in his truck in front of me and I saw him reach over and he kissed Raven and I was like, ‘I could love that man,’” LaPenta recalls.

After that day, they were rarely apart.

Soon they’d settled into a comfortable routine, making dinner together nearly every night, watching The Simpsons and spending weekends with their cherished dogs.

It wasn’t a rut, LaPenta emphasizes, they were simply happy. They spent a lot of time enjoying the region’s natural beauty, often traveling to the Mendocino coast, she says, noting that they were model dog owners who were careful to never take their canine duo on trails or other areas where dogs were not allowed.

The couple took the trip of their life-

time together in August of 2001, journeying out to the Big Island, where pictures show the two smiling as they posed together in front of a cascading waterfall.

“He wasn’t a fan of flying,” LaPenta says, “but he really wanted to go to Hawaii. So, we went.”

Then came Sept. 11.

Guadagno had flown to his native New Jersey to celebrate his grandmother’s 100th birthday and was returning home on the early morning flight out of Newark.

LaPenta says she is often asked if he called her from the plane. He didn’t. In fact, she says, he hated his cell phone. “In that situation, while I know he was thinking of me and his family, we were safe,” she says.

Guadagno, his fellow passengers and the crew of Flight 93 were remembered in two ceremonies this week.

On Sunday, encircled by trees and

rising above a sprawling Pennsylvania meadow brimming with wildflowers, the 93-foot Tower of Voices was dedicated — each of the fallen represented by the 40 wind chimes that descend down the concrete memorial.

The design, according to the Flight 93 Memorial, is meant to allow their silenced voices to continue to resonate with “tones that convey, through harmony and discord, both the serenity of the site and the tragic event.”

him to anger more quickly than someone harming the environment. One of the best ways to honor his memory, she says, is to visit the refuge or just “appreciate where we live and do everything you can to protect the natural beauty.”

“If you see garbage, pick it up,” LaPenta continues. “Take care of our coast. Take care of animals.”

While she describes him as a “homebody” who loved spending time in his A-frame home overlooking the bay, the grounds of which were dotted with some 200 trees that he planted himself, Guadagno also enjoyed entertaining.

“He loved to cook and was a good cook,” LaPenta says. “So, we had a lot people in the house, a lot, just feeding them.”

Guadagno was also a woodworker and a stained-glass artist. He built an electric violin, which LaPenta says she never heard him play, and had been in a band during his time in Oregon.

LaPenta says she even has a cassette recording of him playing the Nutcracker Suite on acoustic guitar. “It’s pretty impressive,” she says.

One of her most difficult days in the ensuing years was when she turned 39, a milestone he had been dreading because it meant 40 was just around the corner. “It was hard turning older than he ever got to be,” says LaPenta, who is now married to a local attorney. Together, they raised Raven

and Aiki through their last years.

LaPenta never doubted that Guadagno was among the passengers and crew who tried to take back control of the plane but, about a month after the crash, word came of a miraculous discovery that would cement what was already a widely held belief among those who knew him.

Guadagno’s Fish and Wildlife Service badge — No. 1038 — was found amid the wreckage of the cockpit. It had apparently been suctioned out of the plane and deposited in a tree before being blown down in a wind storm, somehow surviving in near perfect condition.

His family has donated the badge to the Flight 93 Memorial, where it sits on display.

LaPenta says Guadagno would have been mortified by all the heroic recognition he has received and his actions should not be evoked as a symbol of patriotism.

He loved his county, she says, but he did what he did “because it was the right thing to do.”

“In his mind, there wouldn’t have been anything else he could have done,” LaPenta says. ● Kimberly Wear is the assistant editor and a staff writer at the Journal. Reach her at 441-1400, extension 323, or kim@ northcoastjournal.com. Follow her on Twitter @kimberly_wear.

Week in Weed

Failure to Thrive

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

C

alifornia’s cannabis industry is experiencing some test anxiety.

The state Bureau of Cannabis Control reported this week that almost one of every five products submitted for testing under new regulations that took effect July 1 have failed.

It’s news that underscores the growing frustration among growers, distributors, manufacturers and retailers.

“Testing is currently costly, slow and inconsistent, and affects every aspect of the regulated market,” the California Growers Association wrote in a letter to the bureau urging regulatory changes it says will give the newly above-board industry a chance at competing with its entrenched illicit counterpart. “Accordingly, measures to increase testing capacity and reliability, while protecting public safety, should be a top priority for the (bureau).”

According to the bureau, laboratories have tested 11,000 samples since July 1, almost 2,000 of which have failed. In the vast majority of those failed tests — 65 percent — there was nothing wrong with the samples themselves. They weren’t contaminated by pesticides or mold. Rather, the test results failed to meet claims on their labels, with THC content being the most common discrepancy.

State regulations imposed similar rules as those in play for food and beverages in the state. For example, if you buy a beverage that boasts 25 percent real grape juice on its label, product tests have to come within 10 percent of that mark, meaning the beverage would have to test at between 22.5 and 27.5 percent grape juice.

Similarly, if a cannabis product boasts 25 percent THC content, the lab results need fall within that 22.5-to-27.5-percent range. But lots of products are failing to hit the mark, meaning they need to be relabeled with accurate claims, which is adding costs and delaying the flow of cannabis products to dispensary shelves.

About 5 percent of cannabis products failed tests due to unacceptable levels of pesticides, bacteria and mold. Some of these products can be remediated and re-tested with the hope of reducing con-

taminants below state thresholds. Others had to be destroyed.

According to a breakdown by the Associated Press, it seems flowers have fared best in the state testing process, with 90 percent of samples passing. That number dropped to 80 percent for concentrates and about 66 percent for edibles.

But as the letter from the California Grower’s Association attests, frustrations with state testing requirements run deeper than bad results.

There are currently only 34 state-licensed testing laboratories in California, which has created a testing bottleneck that has slowed products’ path to dispensary shelves. There have also been questions about the laboratories’ accuracy, with some instances of identical samples fetching divergent results from different labs, prompting at least a couple high-profile product recalls (See “Brave New World,” Aug. 2).

The association, however, cites high testing costs as one of its larger concerns, saying the regulatory framework hurts smaller growers and encourages monoculture.

To make this point, the association’s letter offers an example: Under the current system, a harvesting of 15 pounds each of three different cannabis strains is required

to have all three tested independently “even if all three strains were harvested from the same premises at the same time.”

But the state allows testing of batches of up to 50 pounds, meaning the same grower would be required to pay for only a single test if he or she had opted to plant only a single strain.

In order to reduce testing costs, the association is asking the state to allow “compositing,” or submitting multiple strains as a part of the same testing batch, which it estimates could yield cost savings of up to 40 percent for some growers and help ease the bottleneck at testing laboratories. And the association reminds the bureau that living up to its mandate of protecting public health inherently means squeezing out the black market.

“As the regulated market struggles to compete with illicit competition, practical and financial costs of compliance are a major factor,” the association’s letter states.

“If the regulated market fails, the state will not realize its goals for public safety, environmental sustainability or tax collection.” l Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor. Reach him at 442-1400, extension 321, or thad@northcoastjournal.com.

From NCJ Daily

Amid Discord Over New Policy, KHSU Volunteer Tried to Thwart Studio Move

H

umboldt State University is on alert after a KHSU volunteer apparently tried unsuccessfully to convince the station’s engineer to sabotage its looming move to a new studio location on campus in order to “stick it to” the station’s general manager and a university vice president.

In an email sent shortly after 9 p.m. on Sept. 6, volunteer Matt Knight urged the engineer to “throw out an anchor — discover problems that might take weeks — and weeks — and weeks to rectify,” in an effort to delay or otherwise hinder the station’s move from HSU’s theater arts building, which is undergoing seismic retrofitting, to Feuerwerker House. The move is expected to be completed next week.

While it’s unclear exactly what Knight hoped to accomplish by stalling the move, the email makes clear he viewed it as an act of insurgency against KHSU general manager Peter Fretwell, whom he refers to as a “psycho … bent on pile-driving KHSU into the ground as part of his sick revenge fantasy,” and HSU Vice President for Advancement Craig Wruck, who oversees the station.

Both Fretwell and Wruck have been on the receiving end of widespread public criticism since the abrupt firing of popular and longtime KHSU program director Katie Whiteside in May, which has prompted a public outcry (see “Static at KHSU,” Aug. 30). Knight’s email comes amid what Wruck himself has described as a “caustic work environment” at the station, with recent weeks having seen the station’s Community Advisory Board advance a no-confidence vote in Fretwell, a station employee accuse Wruck of shouting her down during a staff meeting (accusations that ultimately prompted the university vice president to enlist a law firm to threaten legal action against the employee, as well as news outlets that reported her allegations) and general accusations on all sides of ulterior motives, bullying and retaliation.

The Journal received Knight’s email anonymously but has independently verified its authenticity. Reached today, Knight declined to comment for this story but did provide the Journal with a follow-up email

northcoastjournal.com/ncjdaily

More Fires Blaze

he sent the engineer Monday morning apologizing for his “stupid email.”

“I had absolutely no right to make that sort of request of you,” the short follow-up states.

University Police Department dispatch records indicate that someone reported Knight’s email to police at about 8:15 a.m.

Saturday and requested additional patrols in the area around Feuerwerker House. While UPD took the call and passed the information along to patrol officers, UPD Chief Donn Peterson said he viewed it more as an “internal matter” that “there was nothing that warranted police action at the time.”

Fretwell referred Journal inquiries to the university and HSU spokesman Frank Whitlatch declined to comment on the situation.

While we don’t know exactly what prompted Knight’s email, it came just hours after Fretwell sent an email to KHSU staff alerting them that they would no longer be allowed to record live between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., saying the edict came from the university’s office of risk management.

“We went back and requested that the night closure time be moved to midnight, but Risk Management has the final word, and they are sticking with their recommendation to the administration,” Fretwell wrote.

“They noted that the recommendations are based on best practices in risk management, particularly because of recently heightened concerns about safety.”

Whitlatch told the Journal that some KHSU volunteers raised safety concerns about working late at night or early in the morning, which prompted a “broader review.” That review included the risk management office, which found KHSU’s operations to be generally out of line with broader campus policy, which states that the campus facilities are open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., unless they are lab spaces or “spaces overseen by HSU personnel.” Because KHSU’s late programming is largely filled by volunteers, Whitlatch said there isn’t generally an HSU staff member present.

Under the new policy, volunteer hosts of programs that air between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. will now have to pre-record their

shows, which are slated to continue in their after-hours time slots.

“This will place studio time at a premium,” Fretwell notes in his email, urging staff and volunteers to use the station’s online calendar system to schedule recording times.

But staff and volunteers at the station question the move, wondering why, after decades of KHSU operations, this has suddenly become an issue. Some charge that it was a retaliatory move directed at station volunteers — several of whom have been outspoken critics of Fretwell’s, including Knight — and that some hosts will be unable to make pre-recording work with their schedules, necessitating the cancelation of their shows.

Knight’s email and discord over the shuttering of KHSU’s studio during late-night, early-morning hours are just the latest example of the station’s “caustic” work environment bubbling into public view.

In July, KHSU office manager and host Lorna Bryant sent an email to university administrators and others saying she was “traumatized” by an exchange with Wruck.

“On July 11, 2018, during a weekly KHSU staff meeting, I was subjected to abusive behavior from Craig Wruck, HSU University Advancement vice president,” Bryant wrote.

“I was yelled at; I felt disrespected; and there were consistent attempts to keep me from speaking.”

After a couple local news outlets — the Mad River Union and the Lost Coast

ncj_of_humboldt

ncjournal

Outpost — reported on Bryant’s accusations, they received letters from Deborah Drooz, a Los Angeles lawyer representing Wruck, demanding retractions of “false and defamatory” statements within three weeks and intoning that Wruck may sue the news outlets if the retractions aren’t made. Neither news outlet has retracted its coverage. (Drooz also reportedly sent a letter to Bryant.)

In the background of all this, HSU is in the midst of a visioning process for the station, which got off to a rocky start when Wruck introduced a draft vision document to the Community Advisory Board that had been put together by Fretwell and HSU President Lisa Rossbacher’s cabinet. Members of the board and the KHSU community seemingly took offense at what they saw as a top-down approach from administration.

What’s clear is that there are currently no public signs of tensions easing at the station and some have come to view the current divide as a battle for the station’s very existence.

“It’s time to stick it to them,” Knight wrote in his initial email, referencing Fretwell and Wruck. “Otherwise, they are going to get away with this, and this great radio station is going to come to a very nasty end.”

Dishing it Out Humboldt servers spill about their jobs

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

Illustrations by Jacqui Langeland

H

ow is everything over here?

We asked career restaurant servers in Humboldt the same question — and a few more — they ask us every day. We spoke to men and women working in fast food, family and high-end restaurants about how they got into the business, what they love and loathe about the job, the wildest things they’ve witnessed on shift and the truth about tipping. We agreed to withhold their names and the places they work so they could speak freely without fear of repercussions.

In Humboldt, food service workers are 4,486 people strong, according to the 2017 U.S. Census. Of those, 58.1 percent are women. Food service staff make up 8 percent of the county’s workforce and 12 percent of its private sector workforce. Nationally, food service industry employees reported an average wage of $24,323, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Living Wage Calculator sets a living wage for a single adult in Humboldt County at $24,038 and $53,734 for a single parent raising a child.

To be honest, before talking with local servers, we expected horror stories and wildly different experiences. But from the drive thru to starched white tablecloths, they had in common a love of people and no fear of hard work. Mostly, if they could, they’d tell us, the dining public, to remember they’re human. That and to keep our pants on. Literally.

The high-end server

How he got started: “I’ve been working in food service since I was 15 …

I dropped out of high school and my mom was yelling at me because I wasn’t going to get up and go to school. So she said, ‘Fine. Put on a white shirt and black pants — you’re going to this catering job with me.’” He eventually finished school and has been waiting tables and bartending for the last two decades.

Pay: Like most servers, he makes minimum wage.

“It’s pretty rough but it depends where you are.

You can make up for it. … I used to be able to go home and put a certain amount of my tips in a jar for PG&E,” but at an upscale house, tips go on credit cards and onto his paycheck. That means he pays the taxes on tips that he ultimately splits with other crew members, noting that servers share tips with the rest of the staff: the back server (who brings the bread, refills water and carries extra plates), the dishwasher, kitchen staff and bartender. Tips

“That gratitude, that gratuity, it feels good. I mean, you’re not gonna tip your mom for a pasta dinner. But you could and she’d probably love it.” going onto his paycheck also means he doesn’t get the frequent restaurant industry perk of finishing each shift with a little cash in his pocket. “I’ve had great paychecks but I was broke for a week,” he says. Right now he has no health insurance. “Luckily, I’m

12 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Sept. 13, 2018 • northcoastjournal.com

healthy.” Otherwise, he’s financially stable, with side gigs and a solid roommate.

“I don’t have a whole lot of expenses.”

He’s in no hurry to abandon the tipping system. “If it’s higher wages, I understand. But it’s gotta be comparable. Some nights I’ve ended up with $100 in tips but without that I’m walking away with $80 for the night.” As for bad tips, he says, “Jokingly, in the kitchen, I’ll be like, ‘What the fuck?’ Like with the chef or whatever, like, ‘That guy sucked.’ But really, it doesn’t bother me that much. … It evens out.” For him, the tips mean more than money, too. “That gratitude, that gratuity, it feels good. I mean, you’re not gonna tip your mom for a pasta dinner. But you could and she’d probably love it.”

The work: At the start of a shift, he says, “You get right into all the prep,” meaning setting out candles, making tables for reservations and polishing glasses and silver, then “asking the chef about the night’s specials, wording it in the proper ways, seeing what we’re out of, what’s changed.” Typically, he’s tasted all the dishes on offer or something very similar. Once that’s done, “If you’re in a good restaurant with good people you can kinda just shoot the shit” for a bit.

“Once diners arrive, it can still be pretty mellow … but it can get packed with walk-ins and I’ll be bouncing between tables like a ping pong [ball].”

The best part of the job: “I like the atmosphere of it, the ability to take on a different persona with every table,” he says. Especially with travelers, “You get a chance to connect with people from all over the world.” He pauses. “I’m a little darker at home, in my personal life,” he says.

“I appreciate what my job does for me, like I’m a little more cheerful. … I actually feel more at home at my workplace than at my home.”

Worst part of the job: “The idea that you’re getting judged really hard sometimes … I don’t know what they’re going through, either, but when I try … and I get this negative response from them, it hurts. … When a guest has a bad experience, you kind of walk away with it.”

He says he and his coworkers are happy to take food back or comp items to make it a good experience, so it’s jarring to see an online review roasting the service or the food. “Communication is the main

thing — it’s a two-way relationship for that couple of hours. If you just smile and nod, how am I supposed to know?”

It’s one reason he doesn’t look at Yelp much. He’s worked in places with posted printed reviews in the back but says, “I think they’re dumb. The whole thing. We joke about Yelp for servers, rating customers.” Mostly he finds it’s “people just complaining for the sake of complaining.”

Harassment: Among staff, “Usually it’s just between the guys,” he says, blushing a little. “Usually there’s been a very playful homoerotic joking between the men,” but he hasn’t witnessed or heard of anyone who was uncomfortable. “People seem to know the boundaries, what’s acceptable and what’s not.” Customers are another story. “I’ve definitely seen a few inappropriate customers,” some of whom he had to toss from the coffee place he worked at for crude comments.

Pet peeves: “Vegans,” he answers, dropping his head in a chuckle. “It’s just so difficult. … We accommodate everything we can but it’s the people who come in and want to change everything,” eschewing menu items made to be gluten free or vegan, for example, in favor of re-engineering standard dishes. Wasted grower dudes yelling across the room for another drink aren’t his favorite, either.

Craziest thing he’s seen on the job: He’s worked for places where there were a lot of drugs and music nights sometimes got wild. “We’ve had people jump up on the bar, spit fire.” At one bar on the Arcata Plaza, “We actually had a regular … who streaked through the bar. It was Halloween,” he says. “We saw him come in and then he went into the bathroom, and then came running [naked] through the bar. He ended up back out on the plaza.”

Advice to newbies: “As far as serving or bartending, just study. Find out about what you’re interested in [food or drink] and just learn about it. … And find a place that suits you with the right atmosphere and coworkers and keep trying. Don’t give up.”

Advice for customers: “Tip in cash.

It’s so nice. It really helps people out.”

And, he adds, “Just remember that we’re human. We’re choosing a line of business serving you food and drinks because you don’t want to make it for yourself. And if it’s busy just remember you’re not the only one.”

The diner waitress

How she got started: On and off, she’s been working at the same place for more than a decade. “I’ve tried other jobs, like more grown-up jobs, but I’m a people person — I just enjoy talking to

Skin Care For Everyone You Love people.” She’s been working since she was 16. “When you’re 20, you feel like you have all the time in the world. I figured I’d work and go to school but that just never worked out. I met my husband there so I wouldn’t change a thing.”

Pay: Her hourly wage is $11.50. “That’s only because I’ve been there so long and I felt comfortable asking for that raise.”

She gets by on that and another day job while her kids are in school, and her insurance is through MediCal. Working three nights a week, she comes home with about $200 in tips after sharing with the

“I’ve had a customer smack my hand when I was removing something from the table. … They need somebody to take it out on.” staff. “I tip out my hostess, my cooks and my busser.

My hostess, it depends how helpful she is. … I tip our cooks very well. If you tip well, if you make mistakes, they’re quick to fix your mistakes and not be so sassy. We tip out bussers based on sales. I always tip more so when I need it they help me out [with messes and busy shifts]. I’m not the only one with a hard job. My busser is the best — I love him. And he knows it.” She says ditching the tipping system “would not work for me. … I would still work as hard. It would be an even playing field but I feel like … if you know your money depends on how good you are, you’re gonna be a better server.”

When she gets a skimpy tip or a customer stiffs her, she wonders, “What did I do wrong? It’s like the phases of grieving,” she says with mirth in her voice.

“First, you’re mad, then you’re sad, then you can’t believe it.” She recalls getting a 52-cent tip on a $70 tab from a smiling customer. “I almost wanted to hand it back, you know, like, ‘You need it more.’

… Young couples don’t tend to tip much.

They still get good service.” Still, she says, “If we’re vibing well and they seem happy and then there’s very little tip, it’s confusing. Maybe they just didn’t have money today. That’s how I make peace with it.”

The work: “I come in at 4 p.m. I basically make sure that [the previous server] has her table taken care of before she leaves.” From there, she’s off and running, taking orders, making drinks and desserts, and shuttling heavy plates to and from the kitchen. Early on a dinner shift, she zips between tables, chatting lightly as she picks up plates and teases a laugh out of an older couple about the husband’s sweet tooth. “We’re very friendly,” she says, and in a free moment, “you hear waitresses talking with each other, which some people complain about, but I’m not gonna work eight hours in silence.”

For her, it’s a good situation. “It’s kind of like a family. The owner treats us like family. … We all get pretty close. Some of us have kids and if you need somebody to cover for your shift, we help each other out.”

Best part of the job: “I have my regular customers that I love. When I’m off, I miss them. … The people who come in and I know their order and their drinks by heart, the people who ask for me,” she says. “I’ve made a lot of friends.

You know when they’re having a good day; they know when I’m having a good day. They might go, ‘Honey, are you OK?’” Worst part of the job: “Probably just ungrateful people. I feel like I can work well with anybody. But some customers come in and you just cannot make them happy. … I smile through it but sometimes I just go in the back and go ‘huh,’“ she says, sighing heavily. “The owner reads the [online] reviews religiously,” which she has mixed feelings about. She remembers a bad review from a couple she recognized getting her in hot water despite getting a good tip from them. Luckily, she had some good reviews to point to as well.

Pet peeve: “Touching,” she says, is over the line. “I’ve had a customer smack my hand when I was removing something from the table. … They need somebody to take it out on.” Other guests have

pulled on her elbow or apron strings as she passed by or tapped her shoulder while she was talking with another patron. “We’re not public property.”

Harassment: As far as the staff, she says, “I work with a lot of girls and there’s a lot of guys and everybody is very friendly. But I’ve never had anybody say anything to me about that.” But, “You have customers who say inappropriate things but I can put a barrier between you and me.” She says it’s creepy when men comment on the girls’ bodies, clothes or tattoos, and the staff keeps an eye out for trouble. “People come in and take a lot of their issues out on us.”

Craziest thing she’s seen on the job: “We actually had a guy come in and undress. He went in the back and sat like he was gonna eat. He started yelling and running around, so we asked him to leave. Then he started taking his clothes off. We had to call the cops.” She let the male restaurant staff handle him until the police arrived but made sure the blinds were closed.

Advice to server newbies: “I’d probably say take everyone’s advice with a grain of salt because you learn by doing. … Every restaurant is different. Be willing to learn and be willing to change. Don’t think you already know everything.”

Advice for customers: “Just know that I’m human. I do make mistakes. …

If there’s been a mistake, I’ll do my best to fix it. I want you to leave happy. Just have a little patience. If your steak is overdone, I’ll get you a new one.

You’ll leave happy.”

The fast food worker

How she got started: Now in her mid 20s, she says, “I’ve been in fast food almost seven years. I started a year after graduating high school. I was in college and I just needed something that fit with my school schedule. ... The schedule was flexible and the pay wasn’t bad either.”

Pay: Coming from Southern California, she noticed, “In Humboldt it’s a little lower… it starts at minimum wage. … Up here, the franchise is not corporate … some of the people who have been working there, it has been a year and they still have not got a raise at all.” And fast food pay isn’t augmented with tips. “Once in a while they do [tip]

14 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Sept. 13, 2018 • northcoastjournal.com

but it almost never happens,” she says, giggling a little at the idea. And she’s not against the tipping system, despite not benefiting from it. “I still tip when I go to Applebees. If you get good service, they deserve it,” she says.

“I am full time, except they don’t provide any type of insurance at all.”

Instead, she says she’s on MediCal. “I do actually live with my partner because even though it’s full time, it’s not enough to afford living by myself.”

The work: “It becomes a little routine, a mental schedule. That means regularly checking grills and refrigeration, and bathroom checks every 30 minutes.

“There’s a lot of homeless. And we have to make sure it’s clean for customers. …

We find needles from the homeless. We have a process that we have to use and we have a little kit. It has to be done by a manager,” who might make roughly $1 or $2 more per hour than a crew member.

“They have to wear gloves, of course.

And if the person using the illegal drugs

“We find needles from the homeless. We have a process that we have to use and we have a little kit.” or whatever is still there we have to call the cops,” she says. “Two, three months ago it was once or twice a day.

Lately, I want to say once a week.”

As far as she’s seen in seven years, nobody is spitting in or otherwise abusing your food, even if you send it back. “Sometimes it’s our fault for whatever reason … but sometimes not. But we just make sure we make it so the customer is happy. … With no customers we wouldn’t have a job,” she says with a chuckle.

Best Part of the job: “Most of the customers … they kind of become like a

little family. It’s more interacting with the customers and the crew.” Once in a while she even visits her old customers and crew at a different location “Sometimes I just stop by in the a.m. and see how they’re doing. … You get attached to the people and the place, so it’s hard to move on.”

Worst part of the job: “There’s not much that I dislike. I would just say not having a consistent schedule.” Lately she’s been working early and late shifts at the 24-hour restaurant. “Just not having a consistent sleeping schedule is something I dislike.”

Harassment: She hasn’t experienced or heard of any sexual harassment, however, “There was a customer who disliked the fact that one of the crew spoke Spanish to someone else in the kitchen.

They spoke English but sometimes it’s just easier in Spanish. … She just made the comment: ‘Illegal people should go back to Mexico.’” She laughs again and sighs.

“Most of the people that are working here are born here.”

Craziest thing she’s seen on the job: “Back home, a couple years ago, when I used to do graveyard shift, there were a lot of gangs. And they would meet up [at the restaurant] and they would start fighting. So that was a little scary because they would have guns. In one location they ended up behind the counters and throwing each other against the machines and they went all the way into the kitchen so we just went all the way back [into the storage room] and called the cops. … I think it took 10 or 20 minutes to show up.”

Advice to newbies: “Not to get frustrated and not to get emotional. …

Sometimes we have to put our emotions aside. It will get better.”

Advice to customers: “Even though we are fast food, they may have to wait and they may not like that, you know, they’re trying to get home to their families. Sometimes they forget that we are humans and when we mess up their order, they can just tell us and we’ll make it right,” she says. “Be a little more patient … we cannot have everything made for a long time ahead. [Some things] have to be made right then to order and especially on the weekends it can be hard to keep up.”

The local landmark server

Starting out: After working in a relative’s restaurant growing up, “I wanted to do something else for a while and went to college.” He brought much of what he learned about organization and interde-

pendent relationships to restaurant work when he came back and he’s spent the last two decades in a handful of Humboldt establishments, including the local icon he works at now.

Pay: “It was good for a 20 year old,” he says, pointing out he doesn’t see career servers cracking $40,000 a year in Humboldt and managers make less without tips. He makes minimum wage plus tips, which he hasn’t calculated exactly and wouldn’t divulge if he had. He gets no benefits but his expenses are low. While he loves the work, he’s not totally sure he’s in the business for life. “People here look at 15 percent as a good tip. You get a lot of handshakes and smiles and thanks,” he says. The best tippers, he finds, are fellow service industry workers and growers with cash. As far as tipping out the staff, “Every place is different,” he says. “Hopefully the guest is generous so the server can be generous. … I’d say most servers are tipping out 25 percent.”

The work: “I’m at a good house,” he says. He defines that as one where the management is there to help servers so they can do their best by the patrons.

Servers need to focus on a diner’s experience, not whether the boss is going to be steamed over the cost of comping a meal when necessary.

“In places I’ve seen that are successful,” he says, “there’s a generosity in service, quality or portion.”

Not every customer is ready to speak up, though. “People are really polite to me,” he says. He recalls a woman he could tell was unhappy with an entrée but reticent to say so. Finally, he told her, “It’s really easy for us to do this over for you.”

The team he’s part of now is tight.

“Families grow up around the kitchen,” he says, “and when you have a business that involves the kitchen, people grow close.”

The stress of a slammed dinner rush builds camaraderie, too.

Best part of the job: “You’re basically hosting a dinner event for however many people and you don’t have to pay the bill,” he says. “I’m catching them in the best way — it’s their birthday or their anniversary.” Seeing his regulars and “the ones who request me when they make a reservation … it gives you something to

look forward to. … I sound too positive but why else do this? I love every day I get to go to work.”

Worst part of the job: It’s hard to get him to dish but there is an attitude that he doesn’t love to see: entitlement. That diner who’s hit some trendy spots out of

“Families grow up around the kitchen, and when you have a business that involves the kitchen, people grow close.” town and returns to Humboldt’s eateries believing them to be beneath him or her, assuming they are provincial. Rather than rolling his eyes, he sets out to prove them wrong by anticipating their needs and delivering on service. And he tries not to look at Yelp. At all.

Harassment: He hesitates before answering, “I wouldn’t say I haven’t seen anything.”

But he’s reluctant to comment as he can’t speak to how people felt in those situations. The one time he did see a line crossed, it was not by a staff member and, he says, “it was handled” by management.

Advice to newbies: “Read about food.

Learn so you’re educated and not just guessing.” He also suggests being patient with people who ask “dumb questions” or make impossible requests, like calling on a packed Mother’s Day for a dinner reservation. “This isn’t their world,” he says.

Advice to customers: He smiles big and says, “Be generous.” l

The Hypothetical $5.31 “Fancy” Burger

H

ow much should your burger cost? Unless you’ve worked in the restaurant business, your sense of what your food is worth is largely intuitive, a range drawn from what you’re willing to pay for it and what you’ve paid before.

Did the whole experience of the burger — looking at it, tasting it, feeling satisfied afterward — feel worth it? Was it an Instagrammable moment? Did you have fun and did it feel indulgent or nostalgic?

I’m right there with you. I know what I’m used to paying and what sounds fair.

Only when I engage my ingredient-pricing brain and scan the room and consider the overhead (read: fanciness and/or cleanliness) does logic and my limited math kick in. Somewhere my loathsome high school math teacher Mr. Larose is smirking.

While I admit my judgments are mostly guesswork, I’m continually astonished by Yelp reviews and Facebook comments in which people insist they’ve been ripped off because they could have made it themselves cheaper. To those people, I suggest staying home. Nobody wants to eat at the table next to you. For the more curious, the U.S. Small Business Administration has a handy online guide to help restauranteurs figure out cost per plate.

Well, it’s handy but not completely simple.

Let’s try it.

First, we need to list all the ingredients going into our burger. We’re keeping it simple, so: ground beef, bun, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion, ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise. (Note: The NCJ editorial staff is bitterly divided over the inclusion of mayonnaise but I include it

Brioche Bun

here because Thad is wrong.) The next two steps involve figuring exactly how much of each ingredient goes into our finished product and how much that costs. A price check at Costco and Cash & Carry gives us some estimates.

Standard 88 percent lean ground beef is $3.69 per pound, or 92 cents per 4-ounce patty. Going organic? Add another 33 cents on there. A basic Franz hamburger bun is a mere 16 cents but if you are some kind of royalty and demand a brioche bun, it’ll run you 32 cents. American cheese, for those of you keeping it real, is 10 cents per slice, though blowing it up with cheddar is about the same price per pound.

Depending on the season, iceberg lettuce rings up at 3 cents per ounce (roughly the amount of shredded lettuce on a Big Mac).

A burger’s worth of tomatoes — let’s call it four slices per medium vine tomato, two slices per burger — is 27 cents. Heinz organic ketchup is 6 cents per tablespoon (accounting for the last three tablespoons that are just never coming out) and a couple of teaspoons of French’s yellow mustard come to about 6 cents. The mayo is 5 cents and the pickle slices are 8 cents per ounce and listen, don’t be the place that skimps on the pickle. A slice of onion (about an eighth) is less than a penny, so we’ll round up to 1 cent. Total it up and our basic burger comes to $1.74, while the upscale organic meat and brioche version is $2.23.

Let’s say we price our fancy burger at $4.50 without a side of fries. According to the next step on the SBA website, our food cost rounds out to 50 percent.

Sounds good, right? Until the next step

comes in and crushes your dreams of 50 percent profit. Because now we have to figure out all the other costs involved in serving that burger. All of them. That means rent, utilities, payroll for cooks and servers, insurance, advertising, napkins, paper boxes and the burgers you and the staff eat on shift and/or on the sly. That’s your overhead. (Sidebar: Mr. Larose, you were right and I do have to use math as a writer but I cherish memories of cutting your awful class and regret nothing.)

Joe Bean, co-owner of Z&J Asian Subs, operated a storefront in downtown Eureka a few years back and gave us some low-ball numbers to play with. For a small turn-key place with room for a handful of tables, let’s say, optimistically, your rent is $1,200 per month. Utilities used to cost Bean somewhere around $1,100 for gas and electric, plus $300 for water. A basic insurance package plus workman’s compensation ran him around $120 monthly (it’s payroll based but we’ll stick with it for our purposes). Let’s say you’ve got the world’s most efficient part-time servers working in pairs from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., 11 hours every day at minimum wage, which is $10.50 per hour for businesses with fewer than 25 employees. You still need a cook on each shift for $11 per hour. Thirty days of labor, your biggest expense, costs you $10,560 with a skeleton crew. Your monthly overhead expenses total up to $13,280 per month, or $442.67 per day. That’s with no advertising, nobody sneaking any burgers and a fairy godmother covering cleaning supplies, license fees and taxes.

And now our already mushy hypothetical numbers get mushier than a cheap

bun with too much ketchup: How many of these burgers are we going to sell per day?

Let’s go with an ambitious 200, since that’s what the SBA website uses. Spread out over the 200 burgers sold, your overhead adds $2.21 to each burger. Whoops, almost forgot the 85 cents for the biodegradable sandwich box (you’re cheap but you’re not a monster) and the 2 cents for a handful of napkins. Make that $3.08 in overhead costs.

Our food cost was at $2.23 but with overhead we’re up to $5.31. Now you’re losing 81 cents on that $4.50 burger. You want to make a buck instead? Either you’re going to have to raise the price to $6.31 (a solid 16 percent profit margin) or use cheaper ingredients, unless you can find cheaper rent — maybe someplace haunted. If the ghosts can flip burgers, that would save some labor costs. Of course, if your haunted restaurant doesn’t get the kind of foot traffic that moves 200 burgers a day, you’re going to have to raise prices anyway.

Again, the numbers are mushy but still more solid than the emotionally based system most consumers apply when sitting down to a slim 4-ounce burger with lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, mustard, ketchup, mayo (yes, Thad, mayo) and no fries in a little paper box with a couple of napkins. Don’t forget to tip your server. ● Jennifer Fumiko Cahill is the arts and features editor at the Journal.

Marjorie Prime at Redwood Curtain

By Pat Bitton

frontrow@northcoastjournal.com

A

nyone who’s spent any time online in the last few years has undoubtedly encountered a chatbot — that helpful cyber-entity that’s always ready to (try to) answer your questions. Now imagine that chatbot — and its self-limiting conversational skills — has left cyberspace and moved in with you, taking on the holographic form of a human you were close to but who is no longer alive.

Welcome to the world of Marjorie Prime, the first production in Redwood Curtain Theatre’s 2018-19 season. Set in the not-too-distant future, Jordan Harrison’s 2014 play artfully predicts what life in an assisted living facility might be like if the facility’s management determined that residents with dementia would be best served by having an on-call companion from their past.

Marjorie (Joan Schirle) is just such a resident. When we first meet her, a solicitous young man (William English III) is gently asking whether she has eaten recently.

Resisting this line of questioning, Marjorie instead requests that the young man tell her a story. As the story (of how Marjorie’s husband proposed to her) unfolds, we begin to understand that this young man is her late husband, Walter, as he appeared some 50 years earlier. Walter is a Prime — a holographic creation provided by the assisted living facility to be Marjorie’s therapeutic companion and, through conversation, prevent her dementia from getting any worse. But the stories he can tell her are only those that have been fed to him

by Marjorie herself and other members of her family, creating an interesting family dynamic, to say the least.

Walter’s presence was arranged by her daughter Tess (Christina Jioras) and sonin-law Jon (Gary Sommers) as a kindness but, while technology may appear to have solved some of the thornier problems of caring for an aging parent, the messy nature of the parent-child relationship has not gone away. Tess is terrified that Primes will make humans unnecessary, that we are telling them all our deepest, darkest secrets

and have no control over what they will do with those secrets, while peacemaker Jon attempts to keep everyone at some manageable level of sanity.

The play moves back and forward over several decades as we watch the relationships between the humans ebb and flow, and as others re-emerge as Primes, learning their own truths about themselves and their relationships through the inevitably filtered stories of others. Emotions, too, ebb and flow as the actors switching between their human and Prime selves must navigate the tricky path between feeling and not-feeling. At the end, we are left with a sense of uncertainty. But maybe that’s the point. None of us knows where any of this is going or what we will find when we get there.

The actors’ performances are extraordinary. Schirle is clearly having great fun as Marjorie, sharing sly grins with the audience as she recalls (or imagines) past loves and risqué adventures, while the blank puzzlement that crosses her face when her mind fails her is heartbreakingly accurate. Jioras is self-doubt personified — her inner pain is etched on her face and in her increasingly desperate cries for help as she rides a never-ending cycle of grief and frustration.

This production marks a welcome return to the Humboldt stage for Sommers, whose expansive emotional range carries the banner for humanity throughout the show, although there’s always a sneaking suspicion of a hidden agenda we never quite get to see. At the opposite end of the emotional spectrum, English excels in his unwavering logic and relentless sincerity as Walter, as empty of human feeling as a Vulcan.

Kaitlyn Samuel’s direction is almost flawless, guiding the actors with a delicate touch as they transition through space, time and identity, and teasing out the humor in even the darkest situations. The set, designed by Laura Rhinehart and built by (the clearly multitalented) Sommers, is

quietly monotonal, conveying a lingering unease that’s reflected in the abstract artwork and by Ray Gutierrez’s progressively disintegrating lightshow projections on the backboard. The eeriness of the sound design by Kai Lassen further emphasizes the vague sense of foreboding that permeates the entire production. Bethany Lamoureux’ costumes are effective and appropriate, subtly shifting with the characters as their roles move back and forth between hologram and human, and Morgan McBroom’s stage management quietly and effectively manipulates the spare set.

On a personal note, I was a little hesitant about seeing this play, not only because many of us of a certain age harbor fears of losing ourselves to dementia, but also because a longtime friend is now in its clutches. What Marjorie Prime reminds us above all is that we must always seek to understand the nature of the truths we are told, and the source of the truths we are choosing to believe. It carries important lessons for us all.

Back to Reese Bullen

HSU’s annual Faculty and Staff Exhibition

By Gabrielle Gopinath artbeat@northcoastjournal.com

M

aybe geography is destiny.

At any rate, the natural world remains a touchstone for Humboldt State University artists: Natural places and their wild inhabitants figure repeatedly in HSU’s new faculty and staff exhibition, which opens this week. Examples range from the inhabited landscapes in Dave Woody’s fine-grained photographs to a tiny cormorant portrait by illustrator Brandice Guerra, to the discontinuous moments represented in Nicole Jean Hill’s wildlife-rehabilitation triptych “Release.”

This month HSU’s faculty and staff exhibition packs works by 17 participating artists into the Reese Bullen Gallery. The 2018 renewal of the annual group show, curated this year by the students enrolled in the Museum and Gallery Practices class under the guidance of gallery director Brittany Sheldon and instructor Ian Carey, presented the organizers with the usual groupshow challenge: a bunch of highly diverse artworks and no obvious narrative thread with which to connect them. Fortunately, Sheldon and Carey’s perceptive exhibition hang imposes order on potential chaos.

The exhibition organizers have juxtaposed artworks within this intimate space in such a way that common themes emerge.

Landscapes, nature studies and landscape-adjacent works akin to the three described above include Teresa Stanley’s paintings, which open like windows onto light-filled, subdivided spaces that seem to unfurl beneath the viewer’s eye, as if seen from the air. Gina Tuzzi’s fluent painting after Joni Mitchell’s For the Roses album cover brings a new pop celebrity into the artist’s rapidly diversifying canon, channeling a scenic river landscape set apart by two or three degrees of icon worship.

Two sculptures by Benjamin Funke (this writer’s husband) use what appear to be heavy metal armatures to back up rippling shapes cut from plywood so their depthless contours resemble drawings in space.

Functional tripod legs plant these pieces firmly in the studio, lending them a portable, provisional air; above the industrial supports, colorful bubble-shaped portals frame the view.

While digital media have not been extensively represented in the HSU art curriculum to date, that doesn’t mean

screens and the flat, seductive images they purvey are out of view. Sarah Whorf’s series of hand-colored polyester lithographs, collectively titled “Viewports,” take one of the visual conventions of screen media as their starting point. Each print in the series presents a detailed cartouche-like emblem that somewhat resembles an icon for a hypothetical app. Neither prototypes for screens, nor exactly parodies, the prints fall somewhere in between.

Across the way, blocky ceramic reliefs

by Nancy Frazier are arranged in a grid on the wall. Each bears a singular array of tubes and prongs sprouting from a central socket. They look like stock couplings from an otherworldly hardware store.

Glossy red and white surfaces suggest the body’s interior but the subjects have multiple meanings: The way the reliefs are positioned, midway up the gallery wall, means their outlets resemble coaxial cables or dongles more than arteries. Either way, the connection being represented is a visceral one.

Speaking more literally of viscera, Sondra Schwetman’s installation “Axis” features a headless, armless cast of a woman’s

body lying supine, with a thick cable of colorful flags being drawn out from her abdomen and up to the ceiling.

New materials and technologies make their presence felt in several pieces, notably jeweler Emily Cobb’s “Albino Tangerine, Red Milk, and Western Milk,” an arrangement of necklaces made from brightly colored beads Cobb fabricated from nylon and polyester blanks, using a 3-D printer.

Alternating bands of red, black and white make these strands look deceptively timeless — even though in terms of materials, they are pushing the technological envelope. ●

Humboldt State University’s Faculty and Staff Exhibition will be at the HSU Reese Bullen Gallery from Sept. 13 - Oct. 12. There will be a reception and artists’ talks on Thursday, Sept. 13 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Contact the gallery at 826-5814 or rbg@humboldt.edu.

K, I am back in town and happy to say that in my absence none of you managed to burn the place down. And in this new reality of having a permanent fire season — the smoke from which I drove through in two separate states. I am not really joking and, looking at the impending hurricane action bearing down on other parts of this country, I am driven to wonder two things about climate change: Is it really too late to reverse course and will we ever really prosecute the plutocrats responsible for this evil? The optimist in me hopes for a “yes” on both counts but the realist in me wouldn’t bet on it. Until we see a general strike, I believe that the only balm we have for the wrongs around us is music and dancing. Will our future celebrations be a victory strut across the lines once owned by a toppled power elite? Or will we instead dance a mad jig in the midst of an end-times plague? God knows but one way to find out is to vote in the upcoming midterm elections and encourage others to do the same.

In the meantime, though, enjoy your week. May it be a good one.

Thursday

Lyle Lovett brings his Large Band to the Van Duzer tonight at 8 p.m. for an evening of Texas-flavored cowboy swing delivered by the best in the business. Having pursued his craft for longer than I have been alive, Lyle will likely put on a great show. As for the $89 ticket price? Well like I said, he does come with a large band.

Friday

Josh Wiley Voted best chef 2018

511 2nd St. Eureka Tue-Sat 5pm-close 707.268.3852 fiveeleveneureka.com 511 Custom Catering Available

Vocalist, violinist, and Beirut native Georges Lammam brings his group — appropriately called the Georges Lammam Ensemble — to Fulkerson Hall tonight at 7 p.m. to present an evening of Arabic music and dance. Musicians in the ensemble will play traditional instruments like the delightfully expressive chordophonic oud — have I ever told you that I have an oud?

Well I do, although if I am being honest, I can’t really play it well — while local belly dancers Shoshanna and Laura Ayllon will provide the hypnotic midsection jigglin’.

Advance tickets are $15, $10 students, while tickets at the door will be $5 more, so yalla yalla!

Later on in the evening over at the Arcata Theatre Lounge, you will find Los

Lyle Lovett and His Large Band play the Van Duzer Theatre on Thursday, Sept. 13 at 8 p.m.

Courtesy of the artist

Angeles’ own premiere good-time funk band Orgone busting out a groove for all of the local rug-cutters who know disco from Crisco and care about dancing to live jams. Will any of the featured instruments be the FDA-confiscated equipment that Wilhelm Reich pioneered to the ire of the evil and stuffy G-Men of mid-century America? Probably not but there’s an easy way to find out at 9:30 p.m. ($23).

Saturday

It’s North Country Fair day in Arcata and if you have had your fill of booths, crowds and doppler-effected live music heard while eating on the fly BUT you have your family in tow and are still looking for some entertainment, then I have a to-do for you. The Sanctuary is hosting an all-ages workshop with local shadow puppeteer Sean Shadows at 6 p.m. All those who participate will learn to craft a shadow puppet of their very own to take home and, best of all, there will be a performance by local polymath plot-setter and all-around rad artist Violet Crabtree and her Comix Trip. The suggested donation is $25.

Sunday

The Outer Space has a palatial and potentially spooky show at 7 p.m., when the dark Pennsylvania grave-digging folk sounds of Geist & the Sacred Ensemble collide with some local psychedelic flavors. Which flavors you ask? Well how about the always-good haunted duo Die Geister Beschwören and the spiritual realm-informed collective Medicine Baul, who are energized by the eternal essence of our dearly departed Vinny from on high. This is a good show to just trance out to on a bit of Sabbath day bliss ($5).

Monday

Once upon a time in the more innocent era of mid-century pop and rock, there was a band called Jay and the Americans, an inoffensive vocal group whose claim

to fame beyond some treacly ephemera “hits” was that their touring band was staffed by genuine geniuses Donald Fagen and Walter Becker during their pre-Steely Dan days. What am I getting at here? I don’t really know but Blondies has a funk band trio tonight at 6:30 p.m. called Dan and the Americans so I am just free-associating band names while flicking the tail of my resin-sculpted Diplodocus figure in an attempt to stave off ennui and writer’s block. Ronny Two Shows opens and the visual effects will be by LightsbyShawn.

The price is TBA.

Tuesday

Alt-country/folk/jam/druggy space cadet and one-man musical asteroid Todd Snider brings his unique and shambolic act to Humbrews tonight at 8 p.m. Noted for everything from being too spun out (allegedly) for Hunter S. Thompson to being a jam rock curio wunderkind prancing through the sunset of the baby boom generation, Todd also writes some pretty cool songs. Opening the show will be Boston’s folky Reed Foehl ($25).

Wednesday

Austin-based decade-and-a-half-old anti-folk players Origami Ghosts will be haunting Eureka tonight with deconstructed — or perhaps decomposing — acoustic melodies for those lucky and wise enough to creep into the Siren’s Song tonight at 8 p.m. (price TBA). Along for the ride are neo-folksters Boo Hoboo and local oddity merchant mister moonbeam. l Full show listings in the Journal’s Music and More grid, the Calendar and online.

Bands and promoters, send your gig info, preferably with a high-res photo or two, to music@northcoastjournal.com.

Collin Yeo would like to wish those who care a belated l’shana tova tikateyvu. He lives in Arcata.

Join Bear River Band of the Rohnerville Rancheria for California Indian Days, Saturday, Sept. 15 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Tish Non Community Center (free admission). They’ll have dance demos, art and craft vendors, an elders honoring, traditional salmon dinner, Indian tacos and a youth and adult three-onthree basketball tournament.

North Country Time It’s time for Arcata’s most colorful and well-attended community event — the North Country Fair, happening Sept. 15 and 16 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the Arcata Plaza (free). The theme for the event, now in its 45th year, is Resilience — “a nod to the current political environment and our unified strength to carry on.”

Forty-five years meets the 45th president. Carry on, indeed. Love is coming to us all.

Regardless of your political inclinations, a celebration is a celebration and none is better than the one the Same Old People have put on for more than four decades. The North Country Fair celebrates the fall equinox and diversity of the community. With its plentiful arts, crafts, food and information booths, kids activities, plush lawn performance area, three music and entertainment stages and two parades, the bounty is everywhere. And who doesn’t love a parade? Don your feathers, scales, horns or fur (or all of the above) for the All Species Parade, striding around the plaza Saturday at 1 p.m. On Sunday, Samba da Alegria leads the always exciting, attendee-favorite Samba Parade at 1 p.m.

The festival is a zero-waste event. Organizers ask that you bring a reusable cup/ bottle for your drinks (free raffle tickets are offered as incentives) and keep in mind that no water bottles are sold by any of the vendors. And while the event celebrates all species, our four-legged friends fare better away from the excitement.

Please leave your pets at home.

32 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Sept. 13, 2018 • northcoastjournal.com

PEPPERMINT. Due to the recent and ongoing action movie renaissance, there is in every new shoot ’em up the hopeful possibility of transcendence, or at least a couple of entertaining hours. But for every Atomic Blonde (2017) there must of course be a Peppermint and the pattern of hope despoiled continues.

I cite Atomic Blonde not as a perfect action movie but as a competently made, startlingly well fought one with a formidable female lead. To paraphrase a friend, why can’t action movie casting be gender blind? Why not set out to make the same movie, with the same intensity, physicality and violence, be the star male, female or otherwise? Other than the gradually changing horror-cult prevalence of sexism in any industry, Hollywood among them, there is no reason. But as I understand it, Charlize Theron had to use most of her clout as a star and producer — and all of her strength as an actor — to shepherd Atomic Blonde to the screen. Absent that investment and advocacy, we get movies like this one: pallid pretenders to the genre that play with notions of equality while actually working against it. (Peppermint may be less a feminism soapbox issue than a disappointing movie one, but that’ll sort itself out).

Riley North (Jennifer Garner) works a thankless job in a bank while her husband Chris’ (Jeff Hephner) automotive repair shop struggles. When a friend asks Chris to drive for him on a poorly conceived robbery, he considers the offer but ultimately declines. Too late though, because the vicious drug kingpin targeted in this would-be heist has already caught wind of the plan and the names of the co-conspirators. And so he chops up Chris’ friend with a machete and dispatches three hard cases to machine gun Chris at a funfair, daughter Carly (Cailey Fleming) along with him. This, of course, all before Riley’s horrified eyes. She identifies the shooters in a police lineup but because the criminal justice system is completely corrupt, district attorney and presiding judge included, the killers walk. Riley reacts with justifiable rage, is tasered and then restrained, destined to be held indefinitely as a danger to herself and others. Fortunately, she is astoundingly and inexplicably capable, and so overpowers a police detective and EMTs, flees the scene and disappears for

five years.

I was still willing to go along for the ride, despite some, shall we say, problematic depictions of the Latino villains in the piece. But as we dive into the real meat of the story, Riley is reintroduced as some sort of self-taught super-soldier, proficient in explosives, field medicine, hand-to-hand combat and seemingly any weapon. How or where she acquired this particular set of skills is never addressed beyond passing reference to a YouTube video of Riley getting summarily beaten in a fighting ring in Hong Kong. Anyway, she returns to Los Angeles to see justice served, which in this case entails killing everybody attached to the mid-level cartel lieutenant who killed her family. A couple of LAPD detectives (John Ortiz and John Gallagher Jr.), tipped off by the FBI, attempt to get ahead of her, but their investigation is hobbled by corruption in the ranks. It’s all pretty boilerplate stuff — handled rather toothlessly by director Pierre Morel (Taken) — but for the fact that our protagonist is a grieving mother. Which is all well and good, except that the movie, in addition to its inherent stylistic and narrative weaknesses, feels watered down, softened, pandering, even.

Even though it carries an R rating (for violence but mostly for language), it lacks the intensity it would need to be memorable.

Garner does a perfectly fine job carrying the thing but Peppermint strikes some sour chords. Her character feels inauthentic, inadequately developed, a sketch of a female lead defined by rage and little else.

And, as I mentioned above and will likely be more fully discussed elsewhere, the monolithic Evil of the bad guys as defined by race is troubling, to say the least. I’d like to see something like this but more, and better. R. 102M. BROADWAY, MILL CREEK. JULIET, NAKED. Annie (Rose Byrne) lives quietly in a little English seaside town, managing the local history museum.

Her long-term boyfriend Duncan (Chris O’Dowd) teaches popular culture classes at a small college and is unhealthily obsessed with a long dormant ’90s recording artist named Tucker Crowe (Ethan Hawke).

As their relationship stagnates, Annie’s reactionary review of a Tucker Crowe demo, posted to Duncan’s fan-site, attracts the attention of the singer himself, living as a near-recluse in his ex-wife’s detached garage. Annie and Tucker begin a corre-

spondence and find immediate common ground. As Annie and Duncan’s relationship hits a wall, Tucker (who’s got kids all over the place with a number of different ladies) plans a trip to England for the birth of his first grandchild.

Based on the book by Nick Hornby and directed by Jesse Peretz (Our Idiot Brother), Juliet, Naked is as soothing and warm as one would expect, buoyed of course by the perfect comic timing of its stars. R. 105M. MINOR.

Fish, I Might Be

The small, deadly pufferfish

By Mike Kelly

washedup@northcoastjournal.com

i there. I’m your friendly neighborhood pufferfish from the family of fishes called Tetraodontidae. You’d probably like to learn something interesting about me. For example, my family has the fewest genes of any known vertebrate animal. However, I’m not actually from your neighborhood, I’m not at all friendly and I don’t give a crap about amusing factoids.

Because there’s something else really burning my ass right now. Get this: One day I’m just lying there washed up dead on the beach and some guy skips over shouting “awesome” and “cool.” Next thing I know, he’s taking pictures of me without even asking. He even took a close-up of my teeth, for Christ’s sake.

And then he had the nerve to put me in a jar on a shelf so his friends could also say “awesome” and “cool” at me. And now I hear he wrote a newspaper story in which he makes fun of my name.

I’m an oceanic puffer (Lagocephalus lagocephalus), dammit. Just because my Latin name means “rabbit-headed rabbit head” doesn’t give this jerk the right to mock me. As a dead fish in a jar, I probably can’t sue for libel but, believe me, I have my eye on him. Or I would if the seagulls hadn’t pecked them out. Anyway, dude better watch himself.

Because if I can figure out how to unscrew the lid of this jar, I’m gonna puff myself up and bounce right at his face. I can crush a crab with my beak-like teeth so I’ll easily bite off his nose. Then I’ll fin him right in the nuts.

Once he’s incapacitated, I’ll force feed him small portions of myself so he’ll die an agonizing death. Yeah, I’m toxic — very toxic. My species is implicated in the death of at least one other human who disrespected us.

So just how toxic am I? Scientists who study us poisonous animals measure our toxicity in “mouse units.” Seriously, one mouse unit, or MU, represents a dose of about 0.2 micrograms of my toxin (tetrodotoxin), which is enough to kill one adult mouse. Scientists tested another pufferfish in my same genus and she scored over 4,000 MUs per gram of her homogenized body. In my prime I weighed about a kilo so I could potentially kill 4 MILLION mice.

So don’t mess with me. You know I’ll do it. And you’d be buried under a giant pile of violently convulsing mice. And what are you going to do if you survive? You’d have to rent an expensive excavator to bury that many mouse carcasses.

Every day I ask myself why I came to Humboldt County. Only a couple individuals of my species are known to have traveled this far north. We normally cruise around in warmer waters all around the globe eating crustaceans and squid, minding our own damned business.

I may have died of natural causes and drifted a long way over the ocean to get here. But I don’t remember. I’m quite certain, however, that no animal could have killed me. If attacked, I would have puffed myself up to the size of a soccer ball, which scares the bejeezus out of everyone. Now, LET ME OUT OF THIS JAR. (Full disclosure: The author has donated this pufferfish to the Humboldt State University fish collection where it is plotting to murder the entire fisheries department. So maybe change your major to journalism because it’s safer to be the enemy of the people than the enemy of the pufferfish.) ● Biologist Mike Kelly writes sciencebased satire as M. Sid Kelly on Amazon.

Free Will Astrology Week of Sept. 13, 2018

By Rob Brezsny

Homework: Make two fresh promises to yourself: one that’s easy to keep and one that’s at the edge of your capacity to live up to.

freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): Author Anne Carson describes part of her creative process in this way: “Sometimes I dream a sentence and write it down. It’s usually nonsense, but sometimes it seems a key to another world.” I suspect you might be able to benefit from using a comparable trick in the coming days. That’s why you should monitor any odd dreams, seemingly irrational impulses, or weird fantasies that arise in you. Although they may not be of any practical value in themselves, they could spur a train of thought that leads you to interesting breakthroughs.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “The idea of liberation through the suppression of desire is the greatest foolishness ever conceived by the human mind,” wrote philosopher E. M. Cioran. I agree that trying to deny or stifle or ignore our desires can’t emancipate us. In fact, I’m inclined to believe that freedom is only possible if we celebrate and honor our desires, marvel at their enigmas, and respect their power. Only then can we hope to refine them. Only then can we craft them into beautiful, useful forces that serve us rather than confuse and undermine us. The coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to engage in this spiritual practice, Taurus.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck,” says the Dalai Lama. Ain’t that the truth! When I was 22 years old, there were two different women I desperately yearned for as if they were the Muse Queens of Heaven who would transform me into a great artist and quench my infinite passion. Fortunately, they both rejected me. They decisively set me free of my bondage to them. Later, when I was older and wiser, I realized that blending my fortunes with either of them would have led me away from my true destiny. I got lucky! In a similar but less melodramatic way, Gemini, I suspect you will also get lucky sometime soon.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’ts for Boys or Errors of Conduct Corrected was an advice book for boys published in 1902.

Among many other strictures and warnings, it offered this advice: “Don’t giggle. For the love of decency, never giggle.”

There was additional counsel in the same vein: “Don’t be noisy.

The guffaw evinces less enjoyment than the quiet smile.”

Another exhortation: “Don’t tease. Be witty, but impersonal.”

In accordance with astrological omens, I hereby proclaim that all those instructions are utterly wrong for you right now. To sweetly align yourself with cosmic rhythms, you should giggle and guffaw and tease freely. If you’re witty—and I hope you will be—it’ll serve you well to be affectionate and personable.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious and adding the meaningful,” writes designer John Maeda.

“The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak up,” says artist Hans Hofmann.

“Simplicity strips away the superfluous to reveal the essence,” declares a blogger named Cheo. I hope these quotes provide you with helpful pointers, Leo. You now have the opportunity to cultivate a masterful version of simplicity.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your keynote is the Japanese word shizuka. According to photographer Masao Yamamoto, it means “cleansed, pure, clear, and untainted.” One of his artistic practices is to wander around forests looking in the soil for “treasures” that emanate shizuka. So in his definition, the term isn’t about being scrubbed or sanitized. Rather, he’s interested in pristine natural phenomena that are unspoiled by civilization. He regards them as food for his soul. I mention this, Virgo, because now is an excellent time for you to get big doses of people and places and things that are cleansed, pure, clear, and untainted.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran blogger Ana-Sofia Cardelle writes candidly about her relationship with herself. She keeps us up to date with the ever-shifting self-images that float through her awareness. Here’s one of her bulletins: “Stage 1. me: I’m the cutest thing in the world. Stage 2. me, two seconds later: no, I’m a freaking goblin. Stage 3. me, two seconds after that: I’m the cutest goblin in the world.” I’m guessing that many of you Libras have reached the end of your own personal version of Stage 2. You’ve either already slipped into Stage 3, or soon will. No later than October 1, you’ll be preparing to glide back into Stage 1 again.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “There’s no such thing as love,” said Scorpio painter Pablo Picasso, “there are only proofs of love.”

I’m tempted to believe that’s true, especially as I contemplate the current chapter of your life story. The evidence seems clear: you will thrive by engaging in practical demonstrations of how much you care. You’ll be wise to tangibly help and support and encourage and inspire everyone and everything you love. To do so will make you eligible for blessings that are, as of this moment, still hidden or unavailable.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): According to a Pew Research Study, nearly 75 percent of Americans say they talk to God, but only 30 percent get a reply. I’m guessing the latter figure will rise dramatically for Sagittarian Americans in the next three weeks, however. Why? Because the astrological indicators suggest that authorities of all kinds will be more responsive than usual to Sagittarians of all nationalities. Help from higher powers is likely to be both more palpable and more forthcoming. Any communications you initiate with honchos, directors, and leaders have a better-than-normal chance of being well-received.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): One day in October 1926, author Virginia Woolf inscribed in her diary, “I am the usual battlefield of emotions.” It was a complaint, but also a brag. In fact, she drew on this constant turmoil to fuel her substantial output of creative writing. But the fact is that not all of us thrive on such ongoing uproar. As perversely glamorous and appealing as it might seem to certain people, many of us can do fine without it. According to my analysis, that will be true for you in the coming weeks. If you have a diary, you might justifiably write, “Hallelujah! I am NOT a battlefield of emotions right now!”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Anthropologist Margaret Mead had definite ideas about “the ways to get insight.” She named them as follows: “to study infants; to study animals; to study indigenous people; to be psychoanalyzed; to have a religious conversion and get over it; to have a psychotic episode and get over it.” I have my own list of ways to spur insight and inspiration, which includes: to do walking meditations in the woods on a regular basis, no matter what the weather; to engage in long, slow sex with a person you love; to spend a few hours reviewing in detail your entire life history; to dance to music you adore for as long as you can before you collapse from delighted exhaustion. What about you, Aquarius? What are your reliable ways to get insight? I suggest you engage in some of them, and also discover a new one. You’re in the Flood of Radical Fresh Insights Phase of your astrological cycle.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Stanley Kubrick made masterful films, but most of them bore me. I regard John Ashbery as a clever and innovative poet, but I’ve never been excited by his work. As for painter Mark Rothko, I recognize his talent and intelligence, but his art leaves me empty. The music of Nora Jones is pretty and technically impeccable, but it doesn’t move me. In the coming weeks, Pisces, I invite you to make the kinds of fine distinctions I’m describing here. It will be important for you to be faithful to your subjective responses to things, even as you maintain an objective perspective about them and treat them with respect. ●
