Tax Those Guns Editor: A heartfelt “attaboy!” to Mr. Bennett in his article about his own gun collection (“Confessions of a [Liberal] Assault Weapon Owner,” Jan. 10). Whatever disagreement I might have had with his critique of Les Miserables, I bow to his open-heartedness in his letter. And, it did, indeed, sound like a confession. Unfortunately, for most of the world, gun ownership is not reflective of John Bennett. I hope that many issues will be addressed in the aftermath of the Connecticut massacre: mental health funding, school social structures and behaviors and the sale of arms. It is absurd that one can order assault weapons without recrimination on the web. We now pay sales tax if we live in California — how about taxing, heavily, with ID and clearance required, any weapons bought online by anyone in the United States? Ginni Hassrick, Bayside

Guns Keep Us Safe Editor: I was disappointed to read your gun issue. All four articles failed to report the main reason why most Americans own guns. In fact, what I got from John Bennett’s article was that he has some “mystical romance” with guns, an “indulgence in boyhood fantasy and fetishistic gear worship.” Good grief! Setting aside the gun owners who hunt (our Second Amendment wasn’t designed for hunting), most Americans buy guns for one purpose only, protection. An AR-15 (AR does not stand for assault rifle) is a civilian firearm that allows one shot per trigger pull. Firearms for use by military such as the M-16 are able to shoot continuously with one pull of the trigger and are illegal to own. Our Founding Fathers gave us the Second Amendment because they understood that humans are flawed. There will always be those among us who would stop at nothing to control others or take from them, including a tyrannical government. Being able to defend oneself, one’s family and home is our fundamental right. What we are seeing is ideology in collision with reality. The recent mass shootings were all in places that were “gun free zones.” The theater in Colorado was the only theater out of seven in the

near vicinity of the shooter with “no firearms allowed” posted outside. Ditto, for the other mass shootings. They were all in “gun free zones.” The police cannot be omnipresent! Personally, I feel safer if I know there is an individual with a concealed carry permit at a function, because I know that in an emergency they will jump in to protect me. By the way, wasn’t it the N.C. Journal that published names of individuals who had carry permits? I viewed that as irresponsible and malicious, since those people are all law abiding citizens. Terry Roberts, McKinleyville

Requiem? What Rot Editor: I attended a performance of a play, Requiem, previewed in the Journal (“But to Love,” Jan. 10), at the Unitarian Fellowship and left angry and disappointed. It was the ego trip of a man claiming to be a survivor of the camp Theresienstadt. Nothing in that play led me to believe he was ever in Theresienstadt. A background conversation between two Nazis wondering why there was a children’s center, why bother keeping children alive, would never have happened there. The camp was a “show” camp, created as theatre to show the Red Cross how nice the camps were. Children were props; any Nazi working there would know that. When Red Cross came there were concerts, fake shops, carts of bread on the streets and children happily holding loaves, while the bulk of the inmates were jammed into buildings out of sight. Over 60,000 Jews were crammed into what had been a town of 7,000 people. Deaths from starvation, torture, public hangings and shootings were common. Men, women and children were all separated, but the hero/author claims to nightly private meetings with his lover, the children’s nurse. She becomes pregnant and he talks her out of aborting although the fate of a pregnant Jewess is certain. He claims to know in advance (this makes no sense) he’s being sent to Auschwitz and lets her and his child from a previous marriage accompany him as though they could actually pick and choose. Never mind that in 1943 it was known in the camps what was happening at AuschwitzBirkenau, and he was taking them to certain death.

Cartoon by joel mielke

I am outraged that this play was presented as fact. Clearly none of the people involved had done any research, and because this man portrays himself as a cheerful optimist, they just wanted to believe this faker’s pretty picture. Sylvia De Rooy, Westhaven

Untamed Fish Editor: Concerning the name change to California Department of Fish and Wildlife — perhaps I am missing something here, but aren’t fish also wildlife (Blog Jammin’ Jan. 10)? Why have a title that encourages Californians to think otherwise? Simply shortening the name to the California Department of Wildlife could also make some economic sense — removing four letters and an ampersand could save a whole lot of ink, paint and embroidery thread! Morgan King, Arcata

Dislocation Editor: Last Thursday’s Blog Jammin found some irony in the fact that the recent TEDx Eureka event actually occurred in Arcata. This is no less ironical than when we all fly in and out of the Arcata-Eureka Airport, which continues to be located in beautiful McKinleyville (or the William McKinley stature that continues to inhabit the Arcata Plaza). Attu Ritsch, McKinleyville

Homeless Need Us Editor: Deidre Pike’s article, “Waiting for Chinn” (Jan. 3), was excellent. It was good reading journalistically as well as very informative. She wrote so compassionately about Mrs. Chinn, the homeless and even Mr. Davenport, who must tidy-up after them. The beauty of conflict resolution is nonviolent conversation. This article presented the pro and con views of the homeless and the Seventh Avenue Shelter in a non-biased manner. I believe we definitely need to support the homeless. Back in the 1960s, the “Diggers” of San Francisco helped all who asked. The “Diggers” gave away free food, clothes, even overnight “crash pads” from their Rolodex of willing homeowners. In this same manner, I see (and agree with) Mrs. Chinn helping all the homeless — those “by choice” (a small percent, I am sure) as well as those who have lost their homes, jobs, mental and/ or physical health, etcetera. The homeless need help now — regardless of how or why they became homeless. I am thankful to Gil Cedillo of the California Legislature. Praise God for the 2007 Senate Bill 2, requiring all California cities to establish a zoning area that allows emergency shelters. And thank God for philanthropist Henry Trione and Chuck Fernandez of Catholic Charities in Santa Rosa. I hope our county and local folks will give financial as well as other help to the shelter when it opens. Jeanne Mattole, Honeydew

ORNIA

Editor: While it is crucially important (or all commerce will cease) that “I” and “me” get their proper due (“Lord Is It Me?” Dec. 27), there is a set of modifiers that are so misused that communication is compromised. To deal with this debilitating state of affairs, at the beginning of each semester I would ask my students to quantify how often a certain behavior matches with modifiers of frequency. That is, if something “rarely” happens, does that mean it happens 5 percent of the time or 10 percent or 20 percent or more? The words I asked to be quantified were: usually, always, mostly, occasionally, sometimes, rarely, frequently, often, seldom, never, and commonly. I would gather their efforts and summarize them for the next class period. Some of the responses defied credulity. For example, “rarely” was seen to apply to a frequency of anywhere from 1 percent to 35 percent. However, while the range of descriptions varied almost beyond comprehension, sometimes something else occurred that warmed the cockles of my academic heart. Commonly the students referred to the modifiers in the same order, ranked by frequency. Occasionally a student might reverse sometimes and seldom, but mostly the relative rankings were consistent from year to year. Perhaps these peregrinations are simple exercises in useless academic trivia. But when a student says “I never smoke dope” he/she should mean never, not “I only smoke once a day” (meaning all day). It may be that these distinctions are more important in psychology than elsewhere, but the students felt it was an eye-opener (usually). Larry Hourany, McKinleyville

when the love between two people reaches the speed of light nothing can trip them or make them tumble not even a steep down hill run careening through brush hand in hand cross country jumping boulders skipping along fallen logs leaping the creek sailing over ditches, the day turning too soon into twilight then darkness as they reach home safe, to realize a half-century later how on that particular day had their feet ever touched the ground they surely would have fallen. — Diana Lynn

The Pacific Marine Energy Center will have four “test berths,” open spaces of water dedicated to testing individual devices or small arrays of devices, each of which will be connected to the community’s electrical grid. It will also collect data associated with environmental and human dimension impacts. Completion will take several years. Those test berth locations haven’t been chosen yet. The full press release is on our website. ●

In Saturday’s chilly, pre-dawn hours, supporters of the over 80-year-old Loleta Meat Market gathered, hung signs and set up a table full of doughnuts for what was scheduled to be a weekend-long protest. But to be clear, the sprinkled pastries they provided were not made by neighboring Loleta Bakery. “No, they don’t make doughnuts. Doughnuts aren’t classy enough we were told,” said Loleta resident Becky Davy before revealing the origin: “Good ol’ Safeway.” The mostly Facebook-organized protest was aimed at the owners of Loleta Bakery, Peter and Jeanie van der Zee, who late last week gave the meat market owners a 60-day notice to vacate the building, which the van der Zees own. The issue? They need the space. The very successful 4-yearold bakery wants to expand customer seating and production into the current meat market location, a decision which has divided the town. “They don’t even act like part of this community,” said protester and former bakery employee Elaine Jones, who worked at the bakery from its opening day until just over a year ago. While the protesters waved signs and discussed grievances out front, Loleta Meat Market owner Pixie Setterlund sliced steaks as part of her regular preparations in her shop’s back room — a space that shares an open door with

the bakery’s back room. “We’re only the second family that’s ever owned this place,” said Setturland, who has worked at meat market for 26 years and owned the business for 14. She hopes that the town’s furor will help illustrate how important her work is to the community she feeds. On the other side of the wall, bakery owner Peter van der Zee says the decision to evict Setturland was “heart wrenching.” He looked at all the options and considered moving to another location, but in the end if his business was to remain financially viable, he had to expand. “I have the utmost respect for Pixie. She’s good people. What she does with sausage — she’s an artist,” he said. “But if I don’t do this, Loleta Bakery won’t be here next year.” Van der Zee says he’s discussed other options with Setturland, like moving her operation down the street to the old Gilded Rose building, which he also owns. Setturland says that won’t work

and wants the bakery to move instead. “He doesn’t understand that I can’t pick up my walk-in cooler. You can do that with your coffee maker, your panini maker,” she said. In the event that she is forced to close her doors, Setturland says she’ll likely join her brother at the Ferndale Meat Co. — the siblings own both businesses jointly. The protesters ranks swelled to over 50 as the day wore on. Some yelled “please do not support the bakery” at potential customers. Some chanted “Save the Bacon!” Summoned by bakery staff, sheriff’s deputies arrived mid-morning to monitor proceedings. In the park across the street, meat market supporters grilled up samples of Pixie’s famous sausage. “This stuff is the best,” the grillmaster remarked (full disclosure: I ate some). “And it’s local.” UPDATE Jan. 14: We’re inching our way toward good news, sausage fans. continued on next page

The latest West Coast foray into wave energy is coming from Newport, Ore. That’s where Oregon State University’s (take a deep breath) Northwest National Marine Renewable Energy Center plans a big, “utility scale” test site that will be connected to the electric grid. The thing will be five miles offshore, and will zing its electricity landward through undersea cables, according to Oregon State. The university says project developers got $4 million in September from the U.S. Energy Department, and describes that as a “first installment.” Its press release says in part:

After Saturday’s community outpouring, the meat and bread camps decided to schedule another meeting to see if they could come to some sort of compromise. Thus, on Sunday the owners of both Loleta businesses walked down to the old Gilded Rose building and discussed the logistics of a potential Loleta Meat Market move. “I felt that it was a remarkably positive, congenial meeting,” said Loleta Bakery coowner Jeanne van der Zee, who said the meeting was not a result of the weekend protest. She’d have liked to have it earlier, but emotions were running high. According to van der Zee, she and her husband Peter have offered “financial and neighborly support” and have extended their initial 60-day eviction notice though she declined to say for how long. There’s still a lot to be hammered out if anything is going to happen. Meat market owner Pixie Setturland’s daughter Jenny Aubrey said a move down the street would still be something of a financial stretch for her mom but said they may again reach out to the community for help. But, for the moment, the future of sausage in the Eel River Valley is a bit more hopeful than it was. ●

A chain link fence surrounds most of Sandpiper Park, the unfinished mobile home park on South G Street in Arcata. The exception is a row of five houses facing the street where work is complete. Only the corner home is occupied. Two more have “sold” signs in their windows, but one of the low income buyers who signed up to buy a unit just backed out of the deal, the agency working on funding the park was told Friday morning. “Essentially the project is disintegrating,” said David Loya, Arcata’s community development deputy director. In the newest complication, he said, Coast Cen-

tral Credit Union has put the brakes on further loans to buy the mobile homes because of funding disputes between the state and the successor to Arcata’s now-dead redevelopment agency. The man behind Sandpiper, Maurice Priest, president of Resident Owned Parks Inc. is hoping the state will reverse its position and allot the $500,000 needed to pay off contractors and complete the mobile home park. He stopped by Sandpiper last week to talk with future park manager Bob Hurney about what to do next. Porch steps were missing from the caged units; the lumber to build them was piled in the central parking area. Steps or not, Priest wanted Hurney to get address numbers onto each unit. He’s worried that news about the park’s financial troubles will hurt sales. He has hired an advertising company to create a television commercial for the park to run on Humboldt cable channels. (See the video on our website.) While he’s waiting for Arcata to work out its disagreement with the California Department of Finance, Priest is weighing his options. The almost complete project clearly has value, and he’s certain he could leverage that to find other funding somewhere, although he’s not sure where. In Arcata City Council chambers Friday, Loya laid out options for the oversight board supervising how redevelopment is winding down. Send off an official response to the state’s rejection of a request to retain $2.4 million allotted for the Sandpiper project and hope the bureaucrats realize “they’ve erred in their decision.” Plan B: “Lodge a formal complaint with Starfleet Command.” The successor agency oversight committee opted for Plan A. Meanwhile, at the urgings of the over-

Next, a Food Truck?

It’s 300 years in the future and planet Earth is predictably hot — “almost an ice-free planet,” with swaths of the northern hemisphere as hot as the equator now, and the oceans 35 feet higher. Florida is underwater and Manhattan is flooded but inhabited: the 24th century Venice. An attempted technological solution to block sunlight only led to faster catastrophe. But humanity has also spread out to the farthest reaches of the solar system, establishing radically new civilizations on planets and moons and inside hollowed-out asteroids. While Earth is ruled by “powerful nation-states that were also corporate conglomerates,” the outside worlds (great and small) are teeming with experiment and variety, fiercely independent and ingenious but beginning to cooperate in a new kind of economy. Humans are physically changing in response to their new habitations’ gravity and distance from the sun, as well as some genetic manipulation. Kim Stanley Robinson fans will recognize features of his other space-based tales (longevity treatments, other worlds as utopian experiments) and science fiction fans will note echoes from Arthur C. Clarke (his “space elevator” technology) and George Zebrowski’s ground-breaking 1979 Macrolife (colonies inside asteroids). But with a few new technological wrinkles Robinson creates a plausible and expansive future that includes struggle and adventure. Sure, his vision of new worlds of great variety and culture, replicating past Terran civilizations and tenderly nurturing animal species extinct on Earth, may tend toward the idealistic or at least hopeful. It seems just as possible that they would replicate suburbia. But ripples of plausible hope are what Kim Stanley Robinson brings to all the planets on the table. Part of the plausibility is the story, full of conflict and conspiracy, centering on a mystery. Part of the pleasure of reading it is the central if unlikely love story, and Robinson’s unique feel for the natural world (or worlds) and of humans in the landscape. There is also a central revolutionary act to revive Earth that I won’t give away, but it’s unique in sci-fi and uniquely KSR. Robinson’s singular championing of the primal and the natural world does not prevent a hope for grand technologies that “could at last begin to overturn Jevons Paradox, which states that the better human technology gets, the more harm we do with it.” This is a long (561 pages) and richly imagined book — not nearly as long as his Mars trilogy, but with some of the same qualities. With a literary background (including theory), Robinson at the beginning of his career made a deliberate choice to bring literary intentions and quality to the genre of science fiction. This is yet another proof of that experiment’s ongoing success. — William Kowinski

A new federal building planned in McKinleyville will roughly double the office space in the sparsely occupied Airport Business Park. “It will create an awful lot of activity out here,” said Steve Moser, whose Moser Properties owns the business park. “It’s one of these anchor tenants that everybody looks for.” The 53-acre business park is still mostly unoccupied, he said, with just nine to 10 acres developed, including the plot of land that’s been sold to a corporation which will lease it to feds. (Update of Jan. 14: When the building opens in 2014, 29 people will work there, all of them relocating from Eureka, according to the federal General Services Administration. The government has signed a 20-year lease, at a rate that starts out at $46.73 per rentable square foot, and will increase over time along with the Consumer Price Index. In the first year, that’s just over $1 million -- $1,065,406.86 to be exact –- flowing to owners of the newly formed corporation, including Moser.) The building will house a federal magistrate, bankruptcy court and probation offices, along with offices of the U.S. Attorney, U.S. Marshal and possibly other federal operations. Those are now scattered around different sites in Eureka, where at least there’s somewhere to go for lunch. Moser said the business park would like to have a restaurant, but doesn’t yet. So far it’s got a hotel (the Holiday Inn Express), and offices occupied by accountants, attorneys, a psychologist, a real estate lender and a computer expert. About a sixth of the existing office space is vacant, he said, and all of it, added together, is roughly equal to the size of that new federal building, planned at 23,000 square feet. ●

Eureka’s New Boss City Manager Bill Panos arrives with big ideas, long resume Story and photos by Heidi Walters

n his drive north last month from the Sacramento area, where he’s lived since 2007, Bill Panos took a detour through the towering redwoods along Avenue of the Giants. Oh, just amazing. Days later, up at Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, he saw his first Roosevelt elk. It was beautiful. He’s also visited Humboldt Bay’s marina in Eureka, wandered Old Town and the boardwalk and gone to Arts Alive. Loved it. And he tells anyone who asks “Why Eureka?” that he’s harbored a desire to live in this remote, coastal region bounded by ocean and big trees ever since 1987. Back

then, he was traveling up here frequently on California State University chancellor’s business, helping set up better ways to handle chemicals in Humboldt State’s science labs and plant facilities and hiring and training the university’s first environmental health and safety director. “I would stay at the Eureka Inn, and I even remember the room,” he said in a late-afternoon interview on Friday, Jan. 4, in his still bare-walled office on the second floor of City Hall on K Street. It was five days after he’d seen the elk and his third day on the job as Eureka’s new city manager. “I would stay in Room 11, on the northwest corner of the building. And I remember eating steelcut oatmeal in the morning down at the Ratskeller Bar.” He said this last bit with dramatic nostalgia, his brown eyes glimmering with humor behind classic, half-rim reading glasses. “And I remember President [Alistair] McCrone showing me the redwoods and the Mad River. I remember there were still some lumber mills.” He wondered, he had mused back then, if he could figure out a way to live and work here … He told the same story in almost the

Eureka deﬁnitely has

some issues, and Panos has much to get up to speed on. The city has been without a permanent police chief since June 2011, when Chief Garr Nielsen was fired after a rumbly four years. The state has dumped redevelopment programs, leaving cities, including Eureka, to find ways to finish their projects and fund new ones. And Eureka, like other California cities, also faces a continued rise in pension costs and employee benefits, says the

they were looking for someone who could cut crime, boost the economy and finish the general plan. Council member Linda Atkins said she liked that Panos had private and public sector experience, that he seemed to work well with state and federal agencies, and that he had new ideas for paying for infrastructure and community development. In November the council voted unanimously to hire Panos. He was given the standard councilappointee contract, an open-ended one that says he can be ousted on a majority vote. He’s being paid $158,000 a year. Listening and learning, Panos told the Rotarians, will be his first duty. “I’m going to take my time to understand the community,” he said. “As a BILL PANOS, WHO’D BEEN IN TOWN TWO WEEKS WHEN HE SPOKE TO THE EUREKA ROTARIANS, TOLD mentor told me, context is everything.” THEM HE THINKS EUREKA IS A BENEVOLENT COMMUNITY. “I HAVEN’T SEEN THIS LEVEL OF CARETAKING Second, he wants to understand the GOING ON IN A LONG TIME,” HE SAID. city’s business model.

Massachusetts,” he said. “And Northern Idaho is one of the most conservative places in the country — by design, I worked there. I chose these. To learn how they do it differently. How they think about things differently. How they approach a problem differently. How they solve a problem differently. What are their values and what’s important, and not, to them. And then I try to find out if I can help them.” And why would all of this effort reach fruition as city manager? “It’s one of the most rewarding jobs in all of the country,” Panos said. “Local government is the most like the private sector of any form of government. You get immediate feedback. You work on very small margins. You don’t have a lot of money. You have to act quickly.” In short, now he’ll get to deploy all of his deliberately gathered insights at once. It didn’t have to happen here. Last year, Panos applied for the newly open city manager position in West Sacramento, where he’d been the public works and port director — and in charge of several other departments, as well — for nearly six years. A guy from state government got it. Then he tried for the executive director position at the Port of Bellingham. An insider got that. He’s effusive, though, in his happiness to be here, and says he looks forward to a long tenure. He and his wife, Michelle, have long wanted to return to the Pacific Northwest. “You cannot beat the location of Eureka in terms of its access to nature,” Panos said. “It’s the largest coastal city between San Francisco and Portland. This natural harbor that it has is an amazing natural resource. … The redwoods are an amazing attribute, not just for Humboldt County and Eureka but for the planet. There is no place like this.” Plus there are just so many diverse issues here. “It’s very, very exciting,” he said.

a police chief who “understands the idiosyncrasies of this city.” “The homeless problem is one of the major ones here,” he said. It’s not a problem foreign to Panos. In West Sacramento, and just about everywhere he and his wife have lived, they’ve gotten involved in organizations such as Catholic Charities, St. Vincent de Paul and Meals on Wheels to help the less fortunate. “I like him,” Harpham said. “He seems like a very nice guy. Very bright. Very knowledgeable. Seems to already be getting involved.”

A friendly, calm guy

— those are some of the personal qualities that Eureka’s ad for a city manager noted as specifically desirable. Panos seems to have those two covered. His resume indicates he’s got some serious managerial cred, too. Mostly, he appears to have emerged from each position cloaked in accolades. Sometimes, not. Panos, who grew up in Palos Verdes Estates in southern California, is a third generation Californian. His father was an executive for American Airlines for 47 years. His mother, who is deceased now, was a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputy. Panos says he was a typical kid, into surfing like a lot of the kids he grew up with. Except he started working full time while still in high school, at TRW, and continued working full time there while getting his bachelor’s degree in forensics at California State University, Long Beach. He and his wife, Michelle, have been married 22 years. His wife, like him, started out in the private sector (corporate marketing) before moving into

Panos a post with the Clinton Administration’s Council on Sustainable Development, working on environmental programs. At Los Angeles Unified School District, where he became the director of health and safety in 1999, Panos’ tenure was short-lived. His main task was to investigate asbestos releases at a dozen schools undergoing construction work and improve the district’s interaction with contractors. He says he had only intended to stay for a year, for family reasons, and he resigned in 2000. A Los Angeles Times story said Panos had “come under increasing pressure” for not moving fast enough on the investigation. The job went next to one of his critics at the time, the Times said, a consultant named Angelo Bellomo. Reached by phone a couple weeks ago, Bellomo, who is now director of environmental health for Los Angeles County, said he couldn’t recall being critical of Panos. He said the district was controversy-ridden before he and Panos got there, and long after. “L.A. Unified was difficult to work with,” he said. “The infrastructure was difficult. They had had procedures in place for some time, and they were the wrong procedures. … He inherited a great challenge when he walked into that district.” Panos said that, newspaper spin aside, he managed to get a lot done in that short time. In his next post, he also told the city of Coeur d’Alene that he wanted just a oneyear contract as city administrator. The mayor wanted someone from outside to lead major reforms in what was then the fastest-growing city in Idaho. Long story

short, Panos’ contract was extended for five more years, but he left after one. Noses had been bent. Some called him a micromanager. A Spokesman-Review story began the tale this way, using the local nickname for Coeur d’Alene: “Bill Panos ran Lake City with big words and management techniques as foreign in these parts as huckleberries in Los Angeles.” By phone recently, Coeur d’Alene councilman Ron Edinger said he was the lone vote against hiring Panos. “When he came to the city of Coeur d’Alene and interviewed, he was a fairly young guy,” said Edinger. “And he went over everything he said that he did, and I just couldn’t believe a young guy like that had done everything he said he did. So I had a bad feeling about him.” Another news story said Panos was forced to resign or be fired. He says he had already asked the council to cancel his contract. The mayor who’d wanted him was out, a new mayor in, he’d made a bunch of changes, and it was time to move on. In Washington State he was a hit for five years. And West Sacramento, where he went to work in 2007, loves and misses him, people there said. The City Council likely chose someone else for city manager because it wanted a fresh perspective, said assistant city manager Carol Richardson. Richardson, who’s held the same post since the city incorporated 25 years ago, said she attributes the huge success of the city’s levee upgrade program to Panos. He had the management chops, and he excelled at relating to other governmental agencies and lobbyists. “I really, really enjoyed working with Bill, as a person and as a professional,” she said. “He’s smart as a whip. He’s funny. A good friend to people.”

A personable and talkative guy, Bill Panos opened his first local Rotary speech with a mild joke, "They said I had about four hours to talk ... ."

Not a micromanager? No, she said. “He had high standards,” she said. “You know, if you’re resistant to any change, you might not like him. I think you guys got a good one.” West Sacramento councilmember Bill Kristoff said Panos was the guy who formed new connections with state and federal regulators, and got more flood protection money and time extensions from FEMA to do the mandated levee upgrades. Mike McGowan, the Yolo County supervisor whose district includes West Sacramento, offered similar praise, and said Panos helped rebrand the city. “I grew up here,” McGowan said, “and we were always sort of the backwater of the Sacramento region — on the wrong side of the river. What turned it around was partly and maybe even significantly due to Bill’s efforts in changing the way we saw ourselves and how others saw us. And we became more aggressive in dealing with flood control, redevelopment,

community cleanup.” McGowan also serves on the governing board of the Port of West Sacramento, which the city took over from the federal government in 2005. He credits Panos largely with restructuring port operations. “The thing about him — he’s innovative, intelligent, articulate and able to bring people together to work on a common goal,” McGowan said. “He’s selfeffacing. Not a big ego.” Mayor Christopher Cabaldon said it’s hard to express just how effective Panos was at leading the city through some severe challenges with the port and with flood control. “And as a public works director he was very unusual,” Cabaldon said. “Because he is a gladhander. He enjoys and is good at relationship building and lobbying, things you don’t expect from a public works director. And he excelled in connecting the engineering and technical work.”

Eureka City Mayor

Frank Jager, by phone a couple weeks ago, said he really likes Panos — especially his ease in dealing with regulators. Eureka could use a guy like him to deal with “difficult groups like the [California] Coastal Commission.” “And he’s a member of the Sierra Club,” Jager said. He suspects Panos might be someone “moving up,” using the top job in Eureka as one more rung on a career ladder. But that could be a good thing, the mayor said. “I think he really wants to work here; he likes the area,” Jager said. “But I think he’s destined to bigger things — and that’s an advantage for us because he wants to prove himself here. He’s not going to fail.” l

Cooks flank Masaki's Mongolian-style grill. photos by Bob Doran

Going Mongolian By Bob Doran

bobdoran@northcoastjournal.com

he first Friday in January marked the grand opening of Masaki’s Mongolian Grill and Sake Bar in Arcata, a Pan-Asian spin-off from Masaki’s Kyoto Japanese Restaurant in Eureka. Even though I’d been hearing about the place for months, all I really knew was the name, which seemed exotic and intriguing — I had no idea what a Mongolian grill might be. I learned opening night. It works like this: Diners fill up a ceramic bowl, choosing from a buffet stocked with ingredients. Vegetables are on one end — Asian cabbage, bok choy, carrots, celery, onions and peppers for example (plus wild mushrooms for a Humboldt twist). Thin-sliced beef, chicken and pork are on the other. (There are upgrade options for prawns, scallops and high-end Kobe beef for a few dollars more.) Chef Eric Masaki advised piling the bowl high since everything cooks down on the grill. Last is an array of crocks with Asianstyle sauces. For my dish I mostly followed Masaki’s advice and used a dipper of fish sauce, a couple of dips of garlic sauce and one of chili oil. I augmented his suggestions with a dollop of hot chili sauce. Your assembled DIY stir-fry combo

bowl is handed to one of the cooks and emptied onto a large circular steel cooking table (like a griddle or a “grill”) where it’s rolled around with long, sword-like bamboo spatulas until everything is done. Your cook then returns your meal to the bowl and adds optional garnishes: chopped peanuts, green onions, sesame seeds and some sort of Asian flat bread wedges. You pay a set price of $8.49 for the bowl, with an all-you-can-eat option for serious eaters at $12.99. A little research shows that this so-called “Mongolian barbecue” cooking style has very little to do with the nomads of Mongolia, who follow a pretty boring diet. For the most part they eat dairy products and plain meat (from yaks, goats, cows, horses and sheep), with virtually no vegetables. Mongolian BBQ is actually similar to Japanese teppanyaki flat-grill cooking. It became popular in Taiwan in the mid1950s, then caught on in the U.S. in the 1990s. It got its start stateside in the Midwest, where a couple of prominent chains franchised the concept: BD’s Mongolian Grill and HuHot Mongolian Grill (the later run by the same family that runs Godfather Pizza).

16 North Coast Journal • Thursday, Jan. 17, 2013 • northcoastjournal.com

How did we end up with one in Arcata? Chef Eric Masaki grew up in Southern California, far from the Midwest. He discovered Mongolian barbecue in mom and pop versions around Los Angeles, restaurants he remember as “interactive and fun” places to eat. Masaki got his start in the restaurant business working at Cho Cho San, a sushi bar where you pluck your plates from a little train that chugs around the bar. After bouncing among a long series of sushi joints, he expanded his skills cooking at a French bistro. “When I moved here I started doing sushi for Tomo for minimum wage, but that didn’t last long,” he recalled. He went on to Restaurant 301, then Hurricane Kate’s and returned to the world of sushi at Kyoto. After about a year on the job, he asked the owner, Kyoko Clark, if she might want to sell the place. She agreed and he began the process of taking over. “She was a really awesome person to learn from,” said Masaki. “Most of her recipes were really simple. She knew how to bring out the flavor naturally.” You sense that sort influence in the non-Mongolian side dish menu and on the hand-written specials board. We tried the seared scallops on a bed of pureed Japanese squash garnished with cilantro pesto an snow peas — a small feast of natural flavors at $11 and a small plate with thinsliced smoked duck breast atop a lightly dressed cold noodle salad for $12. “With the specials, I just wanted to keep things exciting, have a chance to be really creative,” said Masaki. His reason for starting the new venture was more pragmatic. After running Kyoto for six years, he was thinking about the future. He realized that he and his wife Jenny were never going to make enough to raise a family — and eventually retire — just doing sushi. As he explained, “It’s really labor intensive and doesn’t leave a lot of room to make money.” So, he wondered, “What’s the opposite of sushi? What’s a really low overhead restaurant?” Mongolian barbecue seemed to fit the bill. Before Masaki took over the space in Arcata, it was a cyber café with a small kitchen. Over the course of a year, the room was basically gutted to make way for an open restaurant with a wall dividing the buffet and grill area from the sushi bar. He found a secondhand Mongolian grill in Oregon, but had to install a new hood. Financing the project wasn’t exactly easy. “None of the banks would loan us money. As soon as we said, ‘Restaurant,’

they’d say no.” He did manage to get an $80,000 line of credit based on ownership of Kyoto. For the rest of the money, he turned to the Arcata Economic Development Corporation, which helped him assemble a $150,000 loan package drawing on the local Small Business Center among other sources. He’s hoping the Mongolian barbecue concept is just what Arcata needs. “I figure we’ll get college kids who want a ton to eat,” he said, “along with other people who just want to have some tapas-style plates, sip some really good sake and relax for a couple of hours.” Watching diners work their way down the buffet on opening night, some of them piling bowls high with thin sliced beef or pork, made this former restaurant manager wonder about his food cost projections — but it didn’t worry Masaki. “It all balances out,” he said. “A lot of people are vegetarians; some just want some noodles, maybe with some green onions or whatever. I guess we’ll see how it works out in the coming weeks.” Ready to see how it works? Masaki’s Mongolian Grill and Sake Bar is at 475 I St. in Arcata, near Samoa Boulevard. It’s open Monday through Saturday from 11:30 a.m. until 9:30 p.m. Reservations at 707-822-2241. l

Color speCtrum, showing that the wavelength differenCe between navy blue and sky blue is about the same as between sky blue and green. gringer/wikimedia Commons

he organs of colour and its impressions were but partially developed among the Greeks of the heroic age. — William Ewart Gladstone, Studies on Homer and the Homeric Age, 1858

Why do the Iliad and the Odyssey barely use words for color, and when they do, often confuse them, as in Homer’s famous phrase “wine-dark sea”? Last week, we looked at the radical proposal first made by William Ewart Gladstone (before his four terms as Britain’s Prime Minister). The ancient Greeks, he said, were essentially partially color-blind, and only in the last 3,000 years — sparked by the invention of artificial dyes — have we acquired the ability to distinguish a full spectrum of color. Not just ancient Greeks. Many languages confuse, for instance, blue and green. To cite a few of literally dozens of examples: Sioux’s single word for “grue” (that is, blue and green) is toto. Blue sky and green grass take the single word glas in Welsh, sheen in Kurdish and Pashto, urdin in old Basque, quin in traditional Chinese, ao in Japanese. Do these “grues” reflect a color deficiency in these people? Well, no. Language use isn’t the same as sensitivity. Populations worldwide distinguish as many shades of green and blue as Europeans, even if they don’t have as many “color words” as their artsy counterparts back in Paris and Berlin. In his latest book Through the Language Glass, linguist Guy Deutscher proposes a counter-example to this apparent blue-green “confusion,” inviting us to imagine a 19th century Russian anthro-

pologist speaking to the Royal Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg. He tells the astonished members that, on a recent visit to the British Isles, he discovered the poor natives there confuse the colors siniy and goluboy, calling them both “blue,” even though they can perfectly well distinguish between the two. Take a look at the color spectrum. Siniy, what we might call navy blue, clocks in at a wavelength of about 430 nanometers (billionths of a meter), while the wavelength of goluboy (sky blue) is about 480, for a difference of 50 nanometers. Green, on the other hand, centers around 530 nanometers. That is, the actual, measurable, range of wavelengths in the colors we collectively call blue is about the same as the difference between sky blue and green. So just as English speakers lump Russian siniy and goluboy into blue, other languages lump our blue and green into their version of “grue.” Here, surely, is the answer to Homer’s “wine-dark sea.” The ancient Greeks were perfectly able to distinguish between colors, just as all modern people can (at least those who aren’t lacking in one or more of the three types of color-sensitive “cones” in human retinas). The fact that a language lacks words for subtle and not-so-subtle shades of color tells us nothing about the sensitivity of the speakers’ eyes. Homer knew darn well what the color of the Aegean was. In fact, after a few generous cups of red wine on Ithaca’s rocky shore, I bet any of us might be guilty of the same mistake. We’d call it “poetic license.” l Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo.com), who has enough trouble with cyan, aqua, teal and turquoise, believes grue to be a fish of another color.

Homer’s Wine-dark Sea (Part 2)

Jacob Groopman and Melody Walker

Two Duos

Laurie Lewis, Melody Walker and company, plus Bill Botrell, Celtic harpists, storytellers and memorials By Bob Doran

bobdoran@northcoastjournal.com

inger/songwriter fiddler/guitarist Laurie Lewis is a shining light in the Bay Area neo-bluegrass world. She’s a dynamic performer, almost always joined by her longtime musical partner Tom Rozum on mandolin. She also serves as a mentor for younger musicians. That’s how Lewis met the musical duo Melody Walker and Jacob Groopman, familiar in Humboldt since Melody lived here for years and played with a wide range of bands from AkaBella and Vintner’s Daughters to WoMama. Lewis knew Groopman from mentoring one his previous bluegrass bands. “When he started working with Melody, he got in touch with me to run over some of their songs, to have me listen and give some feedback before they did this EP recording project,” Lewis recalled. Impressed with Walker’s songs and singing, Lewis included the duo in New Voices, a folk showcase she curated last April at the Berkeley folk club Freight and Salvage. This weekend the two duos are doing a mini-tour together — a Friday gig in Martinez, Walker’s hometown, followed by a show on Saturday at the Arcata Playhouse. Walker emphasized that it’s not a case of Melody and Jacob opening for Laurie and Tom. “Both duos will play equal

time and collaborate a lot in between — it’s a whole integrated show.” Lewis says she’s looking forward to the experience. “They’re such great players and there’s a lot of overlap of interests between the two duos. I think people who are fans of Tom and me will like Melody and Jacob a lot, and I think people who are fans of Melody and Jacob will like us a lot. … It’s going to be really good.” Sounds good to me. The name Bill Botrell may not ring a bell, not unless you’re someone who reads liner notes — the guy’s name is in the credits on literally millions of record sleeves. Back in the ’70s he got his start in the SoCal music business with Jeff Lynne from ELO, who hired him as an engineer. Botrell spent the ’80s doing freelance engineering for mega-stars including Michael Jackson (Bad and Dangerous), Madonna (Like a Virgin), Tom Petty (Full Moon Fever) and the Dylan/Harrison/ Orbison supergroup Traveling Wilburys (with Petty, Lynne and Jim Keltner). When he engineered Sheryl Crow’s first record in 1995 (Tuesday Night Music Club), the single from it, “All I Wanna Do,” took the “Record of the Year” Grammy. Impressive. Then there was the I Am Shelby Lynne record in 1999, and a move to Albion. He’s been there since, mostly focusing on his

own music. On Thursday Botrell plays songs and tells stories at the Arcata Playhouse accompanied by bass player David Hayes, a veteran who worked for years with Van Morrison. Friday the Playhouse hosts “Legends of the Celtic Harp” with legendary harpist Patrick Ball telling tales and strumming his wire-strung Celtic harp alongside Lisa Lynne, who plays mandolin, bouzouki and Celtic harp, and Aryeh Frankfurter, who plays cittern, nyckelharpa (a Swedish bowed instrument that’s a cross between a fiddle and a hurdy gurdy), and the Celtic harp (of course). Between them they promise to “take you deep into the myths, magic and fabled history of this most captivating instrument.” Saturday evening in the Plaza Grill View Room, local Irish musicians and friends will gather in a celebration of the life of Charles Huntting Rudd, better known as Charlie, who died in November. Charlie was more than proficient on the concertina, penny whistle and Uilleann pipes — he played them with the Primal Drone Society and other local Celtic bands and told stories he learned during travels in Ireland. His musical friends and family will share tales from his life and play some Irish tunes to remember him. That same night at the Arcata Presbyterian Church you’ll hear stories told by the North Coast Storytellers. Master storyteller Baba Jamal Koram is in town for the annual Martin Luther King Jr. celebration, something that North Coast Storytellers founder Dan O’Gara arranged in the last few years. Sadly, Dan will only be there in spirit this time — he died last week. His yarn-spinning friends will undoubtedly share some stories of Dan’s life and times. Monday’s Bowl of Beans Benefit and celebration of Dr. King at the Arcata Community Center includes Baba Jamal and, as usual, stirring songs from the Arcata Interfaith Gospel Choir and the associated Interfaith Children’s Gospel Choir, plus students from Arcata Elementary with a Stomp-inspired routine. This year’s MLK birthday party is a bit different: It includes a ribbon-cutting ceremony officially changing the name of the short street leading to the community center from Community Parkway to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway. Funky sax man Chris Noonan (from Afromassive, Moo-Got-2, etc.) is back in town for a couple of unusual gigs. Thursday he’s at Humboldt Brews subbing for the saxophonist in the excellent Seattle funk/Afrobeat big band Polyrhythmics. “They’re comrades of Afromassive and we sometimes kidnap their trumpet player for our shows, so now I get to return the flavor,” he explains. “I’m also opening the show as my alter-ego MaDDHaTTa, where I combine live instruments such as sax and

flutes with some of my original material and other current dub, glitch, ghettofunkstyle tracks.” MaDDHaTTa also plays for Sundaze at the Jambalaya, opening for house music maven Gabriel Black from San Jose and Deep Groover The Middle Agent. Keith Anthony Blair, better known as Anthony B, returns to Humboldt Thursday for a night of Rastaman vibrations at the Arcata Theatre Lounge, joined by Jamaica-born semi-local Stevie Culture on the Freedom Fighters Tour. It’s kind of unfortunate, but Jan. 17 also happens to be the third Thursday in the month, the designated night for Upful! Third Thursdays at the Jambalaya, when dreadlocked DJ Red Rasta spins platters for the reggae massive. He’s probably hoping the ATL show will end early. Friday’s Women’s Winter Music Festival at the Mateel features the New York-based trio Red Molly, banjo/guitar, husband/wife bluegrass duo Anne and Pete Sibley and locals Joanne Rand and Lyndsey Battle. First time for this fest, which the Mateel plans on doing annually. Relive the days of old school rap Friday night at the Red Fox with Black C from RBL Posse and 2Pac associate Rappin 4 Tay. Both came out of the ’90s San Francisco gangsta rap scene: RBL (Ruthless by Law) was what you’d have to call an authentic gangsta posse — Black C’s bandmates Mr. Cee and Ricky “Hitman” Heard were both killed in gun battles. Anthony “Rappin 4 Tay” Forté served time on drug charges before he showed up on 2Pac’s All Eyez on Me album. Too young for the club? Black C and Rappin 4 Tay have an all ages meet ‘n’ greet at the Works before the show (7 p.m.). Northcoast Environmental Center celebrates installation of executive director Dan Ehresman with a little party at the Arcata Playhouse Wednesday evening with music by Jan Bramlett, Josephine Johnson, Sam Whitlach, Mo Hollis and NEC’s own Morgan Corviday (she’s the editor of EcoNews). The music part (5:30-7:30) is followed by a documentary on eco-activism, A Fierce Green Fire: The Battle For a Living Planet, from filmmaker Mark Kitchell who was nominated for an Oscar for his film, Berkeley in the Sixties. Call it alt. Americana night next Wednesday at the Shanty, with headliner Tater Famine up from Santa Cruz joined by like-minded local combo Gunsafe and wild one-man band The Bored Again. Tater Famine has John Dodds on guitar, Matteo Brunozzi on mandolin and Lauren Burman on the big ol’ bass playing twangy music the trio says is influenced by Bad Religion and the Avett Brothers (I hear The Pogues too). Tune in KHUM Wednesday around 5 p.m. for a Tater preview. Tasty. ●

No, This Is 40 It felt like we’d come so far. Then the 2012 election season reminded us, yet again, that we’ve got a long, ugly journey ahead of us when it comes raising awareness of women’s rights and health issues. In delightful conversations about “legitimate rape,” or whether college students using contraceptives should be labeled “sluts,” or if rape-induced pregnancies are divinely orchestrated, people without vaginas sure had a lot to say last year. Great fun. Sigh. Looking ahead into a bright, shiny, unscathed new year, let’s see what we’ve got going on … oh! This year marks the 40th anniversary of Roe v.

“Employers for which twenty-five (25) or more Employees perform work for compensation during any particular calendar week shall pay Employees no less than the Minimum Wage set forth in this Chapter [$12] for each hour worked within the geographic boundaries of the City during that week.” Thus stateth section 123, subsection 4, paragraph A of the proposed Eureka Fair Wage Act which, if somehow adopted, would require larger employers within city limits to pony up more dough. (The full, lengthy text of the initiative can be read at fairwages.org.) For the past half year, local activists — led by Occupy Eureka agitators Kim “Verbena” Starr and James Decker — have been gathering signatures, organizing idea-sharing events and generally making a ruckus in an attempt to raise awareness of their latest playing field-leveling attempt. The group hopes to raise enough support to one day see its efforts on local ballots, although that would be up to Eureka’s City Council. But, of course, even stickin’ it to the man can hit you in the pocketbook. (I mean, did you know that the minimum wage in California is $8 an hour? My God!) So, if you’d like to put your (presumably limited) funds toward helping the cause, the Fair Wage warriors are staging a benefit concert at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 19, at the Arcata Veteran’s Memorial Building. Local honky tonk heroes Rooster McClintock have been chosen to provide danceable sounds for the everyman while Mad River Brewing and Six Rivers Brewery will provide the workers’ beverage. How much of your extremely hard earned cash are they requesting to fight for your right? You guessed it. Tickets are priced at what benefit organizers believe an hour of work should be worth in Eureka at minimum, $12. — Andrew Goff

Thrill of the Hunt

Kathryn Bigelow’s post-9/11 CIA procedural is a gripping masterpiece By John J. Bennett filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

ZERO DARK THIRTY. People of all sorts have been shouting themselves hoarse about this movie. They say that it’s fascistic, that director Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal colluded with the CIA somehow, that it justifies or even celebrates torture. Fortunately, saner heads are prevailing, their voices filtering through to call Zero Dark Thirty what it is: a masterpiece. Those decrying its politics aren’t just missing the point; they’re missing the movie, and that’s too bad. Bigelow and Boal have created a monumental, engrossing survey of the manhunt that followed 9/11. They’ve managed to encapsulate 10 years of war, unrest and international investigation in a taut, perfectly crafted Hollywood movie. It’s an amazing thing to see. This movie pulls off a nearly impossible gambit, depicting the hunt for Osama bin Laden without politicking or grandstanding. Somehow, the filmmakers manage to tell their story in such an unvarnished, evenhanded way that, to me at least, their method is unassailable. Some of the practices depicted are inhumane, even deplorable. But they’re part and

parcel of the narrative; the story couldn’t be told without them. So dismiss the political arguments, and take the movie on its own terms. At the center of the story sits Maya (Jessica Chastain), a CIA operative whose entire career has been dedicated to hunting bin Laden. We learn late in the film, in a funny, sinister exchange with the CIA director (James Gandolfini), that she was recruited into the spook business straight out of high school. We meet her as she assists in waterboarding a prisoner at an Abu Ghraib-style detention center. We then follow along as Maya becomes a hardened interrogator and the architect of a strategy to track and kill bin Laden. This is tough stuff, but not what you may expect. Boal and Bigelow build their story largely as a procedural, giving us more desk work than wet work. We really get a sense of the thousands of frustrating hours spent poring over video and arguing with higher-ups that must come before any decisive action is taken. Chastain’s performance yields revelatory insight into a young woman so focused and purposeful that she would willingly expend those thousands of hours. Her frustration, tenacity and belief

Movie Times fill every frame, until we forget that we’re watching a performance. That’s one of the most remarkable things about Zero Dark Thirty: There seems to be no artifice, nothing that rings untrue or breaks the trance. It plays like the most intense, comprehensive documentary ever made. In an objective, technical sense, it is perfect. R. 157m. GANGSTER SQUAD. In 2009, director Ruben Fleischer broke onto the scene with Zombieland. Two years later he treaded creative water with 30 Minutes or Less. Now he seems to have run out of ideas entirely. His latest combines a setting filled with rich stories (Los Angeles circa 1949) with his best cast yet (Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Anthony Mackie, Nick Nolte, Sean Penn, Michael Pena and Giovanni Ribisi). But it doesn’t go anywhere. The sets and costumes look good, if unremarkably so, and the performances are strong. But the underlying story is strictly boilerplate, and the telling of it lacks any trace of a unique voice. L.A. finds itself at the mercy of ferocious gangster Mickey Cohen (Penn). Unable to defeat him by conventional means, Chief Parker of the LAPD (Nolte) tasks hard-charging Sergeant O’Mara (Brolin) with forming an officially unsanctioned guerilla unit: the titular squad. This motley crew includes a hard-drinking ladykiller (Gosling), a drug-crusading knife thrower (Mackie), a tech expert (Ribisi) and a gunslinger (Robert Patrick). Their crusade goes exactly like these things always do: A woman gets caught in the middle; relationships are strained; one member of the team is lost, etc. The movie hits all these well-worn marks without going anywhere new. James Ellroy has written voluminously and exceptionally about crime in post-war Los Angeles. To me, he owns that turf. This movie serves as a very pale imitation. R. 113m. A HAUNTED HOUSE has a few things going for it. Here, I made a list: It skewers the found-footage haunted house format that’s so depressingly prevalent of late. Marlon Wayans, who still possesses a self-assured, likeable on-screen persona. Improv comedy stars David Koechner (Anchorman) and Andrew Daly (HBO’s Eastbound and Down). Some genuinely funny material showcasing the inimitable Cedric the Entertainer. That said, the movie never really rises above the basest level of humor. I don’t particularly have a problem with that; as far as I’m concerned you can make all the ghost-sodomy jokes you want, if they’re funny. But most of the material here plays like first draft stuff, only reaching for the lowest hanging punch lines. They get

laughs (the crowd I saw it with — mostly teenagers — ate it up), but this cast could do better. For those who just can’t get enough of that distinct Wayans brand of fart/sex humor, this is a valuable addition to the canon. For the rest of us, it’s less than the sum of its parts. R. 86m. — John J. Bennett

Previews

SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK. Finally! My wife and I caught this movie in Sonoma County over New Year’s. I’ll leave a full review to the professionals, but suffice it to say that director David O. Russell (Three Kings, The Fighter) has crafted a hilarious and touching romantic comedy about people with serious mental health problems. With Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence and Robert De Niro. R. 122m. BROKEN CITY. The preview for this one seemed to reveal the entire plot. We’ll keep it enigmatic: A shady mayor (Russell Crowe in a tux) hires an ex-copturned-private Dick (Mark Wahlberg) to follow his wife. R. 109m. THE LAST STAND. The Austrian steroid balloon who used to be our governor goes back to what he does best: mumbling one-liners and blowin’ shit up. Here, Arnold plays a grizzled old border-town sheriff trying to block the path of the drug kingpin hurtling his way. R. 107m. MAMA. In this supernatural thriller produced by Guillermo del Toro, a man and his girlfriend (Jessica Chastain) find his two young nieces in a decrepit cabin five years after their disappearance on the day of their mother’s death. But are the girls alone? (I’m guessing “no.”) PG13. 100m. CIRQUE DU SOLEIL: WORLDS AWAY 3D. Have you always wanted to take the kids to “Circus Olé” but can’t or won’t go to Vegas? Well, now you can watch the renowned performance troupe contort, trapeze and twirl from the relative comfort of a theater seat. It’s cheaper, too! PG. 97m. On Saturday, three days shy of the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Arcata Theatre Lounge will help commemorate the historic Supreme Court decision by hosting a series of reproductive-rights documentaries by award-winning producer Dorothy Fadiman, who will be on hand. Presented by Six Rivers Planned Parenthood. See Calendar for details. Has there ever been a better title for a sci-fi B-movie than The Green Slime (1968)? That’s the feature for ATL’s next Wednesday Sci-Fi Pint and Pizza Night. 6 p.m. The Humboldt County Library’s “Based on the Book” series “Sin in Soft Focus: Pre-Code Hollywood” will continue next Tuesday with a free screening of Trouble

in Paradise, Ernst Lubitsch’s sophisticated jewel-thief comedy from 1932. Hosted by the Journal‘s own Bob Doran. 6:30 p.m.

Continuing

DJANGO UNCHAINED. Quentin Tarantino’s violent Blaxploitation fantasy about an avenging slave in the antebellum South is the most audacious and entertaining film of the year.
