Objections, Your Honor Editor: In the judge’s order (“Judge Backs Caltrans on Richardson Grove,” Blog Jammin, July 12) he found that, “the STAA truck restriction is not (his emphasis) the most important constraint on business development in Humboldt County. And, it appears that lifting the restriction may only prevent further economic losses; it would not generate significant new growth.” The judge seems unaware, or simply ignores, the fact that STAA trucks do have access to Humboldt County over Highway 101 from the north and also potentially via Highway 299 from the east.

His main analysis of the adequacy of the EIR concerns whether the project will or will not have a significant environmental impact to potentially ruin the profound aesthetic experience provided by the old growth redwoods.

He accuses those who oppose the project of making false claims that old growth redwoods would be taken down. This is not true. Opponents of the project have repeatedly stressed that the concern is for the health of the trees and the endangered species that depend on them.

The judge disclosed that Bryan M. Plumley is the investment advisor to him and members of his family. Mr. Plumley is married to Kim Floyd, the project manager for Caltrans. The judge claims not to have met Ms. Floyd and has a business-only relationship with her husband. However, he has, on occasion, loaned his vacation home in Oregon to the couple. The plaintiffs’ attorneys did not to ask the judge to recuse himself over this apparent conflict.

Mr. Plumley wrote a “My Word” [Times-

Standard opinion piece] in favor of the project, one of six orchestrated by the county’s economic development division.

Since the judge finds that STAA access is not the key to Humboldt’s economic growth and Caltrans admits that the project will not make the grove “safe,” why are we spending $10 million on this project?

Huh? Editor: Ryan Burns’ article “Gasoline Kings” (July 5) is a prime example of the engineered decline of the American economy and the abolishment of the middle class.

The left tends to blame corporations and the right tends to blame government for our economic problems; the left and the right are the chipped wings of the freedom bird. The problem with our economy is lack of freedom. Mussolini defined fascism as government and corporation cooperation.

Most Americans are unaware that in 2011 the U.S. exported more oil to foreign nations than it imported. There is a rapid shift in the global order wherein China will soon replace the United States as the primary economic driver. In the past decade China has built 25 new oil refineries. America has not constructed a new oil refinery since 1976. In the past five years major oil companies have been closing oil refineries in America. Sunoco is in the process of closing its two Pennsylvania refineries and ConocoPhillips will soon shut down its refineries in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

The Bush administration claimed oil from Iraq would pay for the war. Thus far the American people have not seen this happen. It’s a slap in every American’s face.

Cartoon by joel mielke

To date, the U.S. has spent a trillion dollars on the Iraq war, with nearly 4,500 casualties and tens of thousands wounded.

Meanwhile Americans are falsely told that our economic system is capitalism and it’s a bad thing. Nations are not defined by capital; they are defined by who controls the capital: the state or the people. In America we have a private free enterprise system; its real name is freedom.

Gene Owens, Fortuna Editor: With regard to the recent article on gas prices in Humboldt County, there are a few things you missed. To quickly summarize, assume a crude oil cost of 84 dollars a barrel, which is two dollars a gallon. Assume gas is selling for $3.50 a gallon before sales tax to make life easy. The transportation cost to the refinery from the Middle East is probably near 10 cents a gallon. You assume 15 percent refining cost, which is another 30 cents.

Federal and state excise taxes are 53.7 cents a gallon (source: energyalmanac. ca.gov/gasoline/gasoline_taxes.html). Net

between producer and consumer is $3.50 $0.537 = 2.963. You said that refining costs about 15 percent, which is about 45 cents.

Distribution cost is about 10 percent, which is another 30 cents.

Total cost to the delivering station is about $2.963 + $0.45 + $0.30 = $3.72 a gallon. Sales taxes are 7 ¼ percent on gross sales cost. Sales tax at 7 ¼ percent is 27 cents, so the pump price before any profit to pay costs of the station is about $3.99.

This indicates that no one is making much money on gasoline — except the crude oil suppliers. If you want to gripe about them, I welcome you, but don’t blame anyone except the producers themselves.

Like Owen Roberts in 1937, he rescued the court from the charge of right-wing obstructionism. But see what he extracted in return: In denying that the health plan could be justified under the Commerce Clause, he undercut the constitutional basis of most progressive federal regulation.

And by allowing states to opt out, he resurrected the principle of state nullification of federal laws. This was an issue in Andrew Jackson’s time, in the long run up to the Civil War. Georgia tried it, Jackson threatened to send in the army, and the union held for another quarter century.

Now, it seems, we’ll have to re-litigate American history.

Fight for Your Right-of-way Editor: Here’s a thought on the recent railbanking discussions (“We Have a Plan,” June 28) and planning efforts: Between Arcata and Eureka, it’s likely that the Highway 101 corridor needs to rise considering future sea level rise. Caltrans, with great skill and foresight, is adept at planning 100-plus years ahead (just look at all the 101 bridge replacement going on with room, if push comes to shove, for three lanes each way). Considering Caltrans’ need to upgrade, raise and/or expand our roadways, it might be good for the North Coast Railroad Authority and Caltrans — and maybe the cities of Eureka and Arcata, and private landowners — to increasingly huddle and negotiate some splitting and “lot line adjusting” of property lines.

A possible outcome is to relocate the NCRA corridor within Caltrans’ right-ofway and locate a new, Caltrans-managed trail (built up) within the old NCRA corridor. This way the public gets its trail right along the bay (where it should be); the NCRA/Timber Heritage Association get a vastly improved future rail corridor between Eureka and Arcata; and Caltrans gets a higher/dryer/safer highway corridor, a trail that completes — in full — its

Perched in a fir tree Above the cemetery Longing for sunshine.

I am also waiting For a break in the clouds, So I can finish my jog And take a hot bath.

transportation mandate, and an upgraded levee feature (via trail construction) to help protect sections of Highway 101 from high-tide storm surge.

Yes, there are commerce-related private property issues, adjacent slough- and estuary-levee issues, bridge issues, and more. But the alternative is everyone (Caltrans, NCRA, trail users, the THA, cities, the county, landowners and businesses) going it alone or, at best, in pairs, amid sea level rise at greater cost. If we can’t figure it out in the short term there’s always that

other, more evolutionary alternative: In 200 years, Caltrans can build, via eminent domain, a still higher highway near the Old Arcata Road corridor, with rail folk and trail folk left splashing around to the west.

Chris Turner, Arcata Editor: The $4 million figure for the trail is inaccurate. Much more work needs to be put in to fix the prism [the rail bed]. Further, an entirely new easement must be bought, as though the railroad was never there. Otherwise it is an unconstitutional taking of land, according to an unbroken string of federal court cases on the matter. In one court case, trail users cut down the trees for campfires and were sued by the government for the loss of trees.

In each court case, the government had to pay fair market value, as though the railroad was never there, and interest.

Railbanking is a legal process of abandonment. The process is not automatic, even for landowners. It is a long process that allows people and shippers to have their say to prevent abandonment, as a check against corporate power. During this time, another company can submit a plan to take over the railroad operations.

With various groups working to revive freight rail, the Surface Transportation Board is unlikely to approve the abandonment necessary to railbank the line, even if NCRA approved railbanking.

The NCRA is not the bad guy here, folks. The trail folks have yet to submit to the NCRA a single plan for trails between Bracut [Lumber Yard] and Eureka. The NCRA approved all the trail plans that were submitted to its board. That includes the Blue Lake-to-Arcata rails-to-trails, rails with trails within Arcata to Bracut, and rails with trails down in Healdsburg. The ball is in the hands of trail folks for the two NCRA-approved trail plans here in Humboldt.

The east side of the highway would make a better trail. It is more protected. It can connect directly to Bayside, Freshwater and the north edge of Eureka using old railroad right of ways.

Romper Rodeo Toddlers riding sheep — it’s a local sensation.

By Ryan Burns

J

enny Millsap hoisted her 3-year-old, 30-pound son Richie over the metal railing and lowered him into a corral at the Orick Rodeo. A burly cowboy grabbed him by the armpits and propped him astride an agitated sheep. A rope had been drawn around the sheep’s chest, and the two men who’d squeezed into the corral with the animal helped Richie tuck his little fingers into the soft wool underneath. The chinstrap on Richie’s bulbous bicycle helmet pushed his lower lip into a pout. Motionless and wide-eyed, he stared at the spot between the sheep’s ears.

As Alan Jackson’s “Country Boy” blared over the PA system, a teenage girl leaned over the corral gate and offered the toddler some advice: “Now, Richie,” she said, “you gotta hold on really tight, okay?”

A moment later, the gate swung wide.

For a second the sheep just stood there.

Then, like a prisoner who sees his chance, it lurched into a herky-jerky run. Richie’s helmeted head bobbled backward and forward as he clung to the rope. The sheep galloped awkwardly into the arena, kicking up little clouds of dirt as Richie’s

body began to slide off to the right. He tipped further and further until, about 40 feet into his ride, the 3-year-old splayed headlong into the powdery dirt.

By the time the adults reached him, offering high-fives and his choice from a box of Tootsie Pops, Richie was already standing up. The left side of his face was dusted with brown dirt. He grabbed the sleeve of an older kid’s shirt to rub the grit out of his eye while a woman in blue jeans leaned down to tell him what a great job he’d done. “Wave to the crowd,” she said.

Richie, disoriented, lifted his head, turned in the wrong direction and waved to the forested hills.

This event, in which parents set their young kids loose on galloping sheep, is called mutton busting (or “mutton’ bustin’,” as it’s listed for the Orick Rodeo), and in recent years it has grown into one of the most popular spectacles at rodeos nationwide.

Some people view this activity as a shocking display of parental irresponsibility. (A friend of mine half-jokingly called it “sanctioned child abuse as spectator sport.”) But for the gritty, rural-living

Déjà Rescue

Pelicans covered in fish oil are again overwhelming bird rescuers

By Scottie Lee Meyers Recently captured juvenile pelicans wait in a warm room for their intake examination. Photos by Drew Hyland and Bird Ally X

T

he folks at Bird Ally X really like Jim Moore. The retired wildlife biologist knows animals, and he’s always willing to help. Also, he has a van. A big van — the better to transport sick pelicans with. And lately he’s been doing a lot of that. So much that the stubborn stench of smelt will not leave the van’s interior. His coppercolored Honda Odyssey has become a pelican ambulance.

Since last Monday, Moore has captured close to 50 ailing brown pelicans from Trinidad and Crescent City and delivered them to the Humboldt Wildlife Care Center in Bayside, where volunteers are working to rehabilitate the birds. By the end of this Monday, the care center had admitted 130 juvenile brown pelicans for treatment and was quickly approaching capacity.

It’s déjà rescue for Bird Ally X. Last year the organization rescued more than 50 juvenile pelicans from Shelter Cove, Humboldt Bay and Crescent City. Most of those birds had been contaminated with fish oil. Others had large fish skeletons stuck in their throats.

The main problem — then and now — is open fish-waste bins near cleaning stations, which offer easy but dangerous buffets for the young pelicans. They become dependent on this easy food source, and the fish oil compromises the natural waterproof quality of their feathers, making them vulnerable to hypothermia. Without help, oil-drenched pelicans will die of exposure and starvation.

“The frustrating thing is that this is entirely preventable and easy to fix,” said Bird Ally X Co-director Monte Merrick, a ponytailed man with narrow eyes and well-worn clothes who describes his religious views on Facebook by suggesting, “Ask a pelican.”

On a recent afternoon Bird Ally X staff and volunteers had their hands full. They unthawed the smelt, cleaned the carrier cages, fastened heat lamps, laid down sterile towels, raised a tent for the wash

station, fixed the netting in the aviary and set up a second intake room to perform basic evaluations — because one is no longer enough. Merrick was the nucleus of the swirling activity. When volunteers were unsure what to do next, they looked for him.

Fish oil isn’t the only culprit in recent brown pelican deaths. The problem coincides with the breeding success of California brown pelicans, which have seen resurgent populations since being removed from the endangered species list three years ago. The first-year mortality rate for brown pelicans can be as high as 80 percent, according to the nonprofit International Bird Rescue. The most common cause is starvation. Still, Bird Ally X estimates that 95 percent of the birds that have come to the care center over the last two weeks are suffering from fish waste contamination.

Pelicans typically plunge dive into the ocean, open their pouch and gather anchovies, sardines and other small fish, along with about five gallons of seawater.

They eject the water and swallow their prey. It’s a skill all fledglings must learn in a very short period of time, and if they’re not initially successful, they grow desperately hungry and come to the docks looking for handouts.

Deborah Jaques, a wildlife biologist from Astoria, Ore., said human activity has compounded the pelicans’ natural mortality rate, and she’s confident that mass die-offs are preventable. A good place to start, she said, is by improving the design of fish-cleaning stations.

Crescent City has two outdoor stations. Fishermen take their catch to the tables, rinse and cut their filets and toss the waste into large plastic bins. Harbor staff empties the bins daily, said Crescent City Harbormaster Richard Young. The waste is then hauled to a local composting plant.

Last year, the bins remained largely uncovered, which allowed pelicans to dumpster dive. Jaques said the Crescent

ACTIVISM, COURTS / BY CARRIE PEYTON DAHLBERG / JULY 11, 11:28 A.M.

No Crime Here, Jury Says In the first trial test of a new law, a Humboldt County jury decided this morning that the three people who lit candles outside the county courthouse after 9:30 p.m. did nothing illegal.

The verdict comes despite the county’s attempt to ban most people from being on courthouse grounds between 9:30 p.m. and 6 a.m.

“I think it will send a message,” said Deputy Public Defender Casey Russo. “This decision shows that it will be very difficult

to prosecute these cases.”

Russo said one of the jurors told him after the verdict that the jury relied heavily on one particular instruction from the judge. The judge had explained that if the people holding the candlelight vigil truly believed they were exercising their First Amendment rights of free speech and assembly, then they would not have the mental state required to commit a crime in this case.

Russo said he hopes county supervisors will revise the law, which was written during the Occupy Eureka protests. ●

Pachanga Mexicana restaurant in Eureka, where Highway 101 meets state Route 255, the safety corridor route is 7.4 miles and takes 10 minutes to drive, according to the Google machine. The back route, through Manila, is 9.3 miles long, and takes 16 minutes. The speed limit there is a heartpounding, sweat-palming 55 miles per hour.

The speed gap is likely to close in the future, making the safety corridor comparatively even quicker. During a conversation in March, 3rd District County Supervisor Mark Lovelace said that Caltrans is working on a plan to lower the speed limit through Manila. It’s unclear when the slow-down will occur.

Anyway, that’ll be sweet for all those people with the “I drive 45 in Manila” signs and bumper stickers, and any other supporters of public safety.

As for which way is the pleasanter drive: “It’s completely subjective,” Officer Adams says. “It depends whether you like dunes or eucalyptus trees.”

Wildlife biologist Ric Schlexer, with the U.S. Forest Service office in Arcata, called today to correct an outlandish mistake we propagated in a previous post about the wee Humboldt marten.

In the post, “Bite You in the Face” — about the Center for Biological Diversity’s Endangered Species Act-related lawsuit against the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to protect the marten — we repeated something the Center said in its news release: that Martes americana humboldtensis bites porcupines in the face. It ain’t so, says Schlexer: “The fisher bites porcupines in the face,” he said. “Martens have never been known to do that. A porcupine is three or four times the size of an adult marten.”

The two species are in the same family — Mustelidae, which also includes weasels, otters, wolverines and badgers. And while fishers and martens might seem quite similar — as opposed to otters and badgers, say — the fisher weighs between eight and 13 pounds while the Humboldt marten weighs between 1.2 and 3.4 pounds, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Now, you tell us, who’s gonna be more likely to take on a 15- to 20-pound lunker of a porcupine?

It’s possible the Center for Biological Diversity news release writer confused the critter with its big bro the Pacific fisher, over whose lack-of-protection status the Center also has sued.

GET OUT! Reserving a Lookout

hat is it about fire lookouts that gives them such an aura of romanticism? The isolation? The simplicity?

Gary Snyder, who spent a couple of summers as a fire spotter high above the upper Skagit River in the North Cascades, celebrated the ascetic nature of the lookout: “fewer the artifacts, less the words slowly the life of it a knack for nonattachment” Perhaps it is the sense of danger and risk that comes from being so vulnerable to lightning strikes or buffeted by ridgetop winds? The magnificent 360-degree views? “Woke up this morning on an island in the sky, surrounded by clouds,” wrote Edward Abbey from his post in Arizona’s Atascosa fire lookout. Philip Connors, whose recent book Fire Season recalls his decade of staffing a fire tower in New Mexico, talked about “the impressive stage set for a drama of the self.”

For me, it is certainly possible that my attraction is about compensating for a quarter of a century of being limited to scanning the flatlands of Kansas. Or maybe I hope to join the literary pantheon who found their muse in a remote lookout retreat — Snyder, Abbey, Jack Kerouac, Norman Maclean, and, well …

Hughes?

Fire lookouts are fast going the way of the typewriter, Kodachrome and the handwritten letter. According to Connors, 90 percent of American lookout towers

have been decommissioned with only a few hundred remaining, mostly in the West and Alaska. Not surprisingly, there was a time when high spots throughout inland Humboldt County were dotted with lookouts. They stood atop places like Brannan Mountain, Cold Spring, Iaqua Buttes, Mt. Pierce and Somes Mountain. Now most functional Humboldt County fire lookouts, like Grasshopper Peak, Schoolhouse Peak, Brush Mountain and Orleans Mountain, are staffed only in situations of extreme fire danger.

They command incredible views and are worth a visit on a beautiful North Coast afternoon. Grasshopper Peak has become a favorite destination for masochistic mountain bikers. Schoolhouse Peak is a nice turnaround after a drive along Bald Hills Road in Redwood National Park (or join the Redwood Parks Association there on Aug. 11-12 to watch the Perseid meteor shower — call 707-464-9150 to make a reservation). Brush Mountain Lookout, the only one fully staffed in Humboldt County (June through mid-October), welcomes visitors and is easily accessible from Friday Ridge Road southeast of Willow Creek.

Much of this change reflects not only improvements in technology but a philosophical shift in the role that fire plays in forest ecology. Not all fires are bad. It has been increasingly recognized that our ecosystem has evolved so that periodic fires are critical to the maintenance of a healthy balance among plant communities. Along the North Coast, for example, without natural fires the inland prairies and native oak woodlands are quickly

e r u n a M A r e v u Mane North Coast dairy farmers are knee-deep in new runoff regulations Story and photos

By Zach St. George

HOLSTEINS HANG OUT NEXT TO A STREAM IN THE ARCATA BOTTOMS. WHILE THE NEW REGULATIONS DON’T BAN COWS FROM STREAMS, THEY WILL SUGGEST CREATING FENCED-OFF BUMPER ZONES IN MANY CASES.

14 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • THURSDAY, JULY 19, 2012 • northcoastjournal.com

herd of Holsteins, roused from their carefree ruminations, stand one by one and saunter up to the wire fence on the edge of a dirt road in the Arcata bottoms. The black-and-white cows whiff the air, bat their luxurious eyelashes and flick their ears, bouncing numbered yellow earrings. Their swiveling jaws creak quietly.

The tall grass along the fence rustles in the breeze, and the sound of the ocean carries over the flat pastureland. One charmer rests her diamond-spotted head on her neighbor’s back. So languid. So peaceful. She lifts her tail in a graceful arch, and poops. Splat. Splat. Splat.

Cows can’t control themselves. They just go. Here in Humboldt, most of the pooping happens out in the pasture. That’s fine, because the grass likes the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium that the poop contains. But when ol’ Bessie poops in the barn, in the milking parlor, or on any other paved area, the farmer needs to keep an eye on the pile, lest it find its way into a puddle, stream or irrigation ditch.

In years past, it was farmers’ responsibility, and ultimately their choice, to keep

the waterways dung-free. Clean water meant a clean conscience. Starting this year, however, the authorities are stepping in with a new program that aims to stamp out any wayward crap.

Both farmers and regulators agree that the new rules, which force dairy farmers to document their manure-management and possibly make corrections in the field, aren’t likely to reduce pollution too much.

By most accounts, local dairies are already doing a pretty good job keeping those pies in line.

For the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board, the new runoff regulations were a legal necessity. All of California’s other water boards already had runoff oversight programs in place, and the new program will bring the North Coast into compliance with both state and federal clean water laws.

In the eyes of many local dairy farmers, though, the new regulations are anything but necessary. They say that they’re already self-regulating, and that the new program will mostly just mean more paperwork, more time away from the field, and more costs in a business where profit margins are already thin as skim milk.

One sidles up behind a fellow she-cow and jumps on for a quick hump. “That’s how you know they need to be bred,” Nelson says, pointing to the unperturbed humpee.

The cow in front reaches Nelson and halts, staring at him. He stares back.

“They’re lovely creatures,” he says. The cow turns its googly gaze and continues toward the barn and the milking parlor, pushed onward by the cows behind.

Most of the contaminated water on the farm comes from the barn and milking complex. The manure that cows leave in the barn while en route to the milking parlor gets skid-steered into a pit at the end of the building. The contents of the poop-pit, and the water used to clean the milking parlor and the milk-holding tank, are both pumped into a million-gallon concrete tank outside.

The reason the concrete tank is so big, Nelson says, is because it needs to be able to hold four months’ worth of manure and contaminated water. If the dairy sprayed the slurry on the field during the rainy season, when the ground is already saturated, then it would be more likely to run off into nearby surface water. Plus, because the manure-water is the only fertilizer that the organic dairy uses, applying it during the wet season would be a waste of nutrients and a waste of money. continued on next page

CURTIS HOLGERSEN POINTS TO THE HOUSE WHERE HE WAS BORN AND RAISED, ACROSS FROM THE DAIRY, AND JUST A COUPLE HUNDRED FEET FROM WHERE HE CURRENTLY LIVES. continued from previous page

Across the field is a yellow pump with two wheels and a spool of black hose.

Underground lines run from the concrete tank to that pump and others scattered across the farm. From there, the hoses run out to mobile sprinklers.

Nelson points to the tank. He commissioned two artists to paint an enormous American flag on its side. “This is a great country,” he says.

The last of the cows trail past, and Nelson heads to the milking parlor. It’s a long concrete room with rows of feed troughs along both walls. A 4-foot-wide trench runs the length of the room, dividing it in two. As cows walk down the aisles on either side of the trench, metal gates swing out and separate the cows into their own stalls, head in the trough, udders towards the trench.

The cows are in place. The pumps above the trench start to click rhythmically, tick tick tick tick ticka ticka tick, and the vacuum turns on with a howl. Two milkers hurry along the trench, attaching the pumps to each cow’s four teats before moving to her neighbor. The pumps bounce slowly on the teats as if breathing — up … down … up … down. Milk squirts into the clear bowls on the bottom of the vacuums, whirling against the sides before disappearing off through the pipes and

into the holding tank.

In less than five minutes, the milking is over. The vacuums die and the suctions drop from the teats and swing away. The cow on the end isn’t quite done. The rear teat on her left side squirts a stream of milk on the floor. It pools and runs toward a drain. Nelson looks at the row of cows, now licking up the last bits of grain from their troughs. “Pretty neat, huh?” he says.

A COW POOP MULTIPLICATION TABLE, GIVEN TO THE HOLGERSEN’S BY A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE CALIFORNIA DAIRY QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM. SOME COWS CAN PRODUCE MORE THAN 100 POUNDS OF MANURE EVERY DAY.

16 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • THURSDAY, JULY 19, 2012 • northcoastjournal.com

Almost everyone

agrees that keeping cow poop out of the water is a good thing. In the American Midwest, where most dairies are massive and corporate-owned, with barn-bound cows, agricultural runoff has been linked to high levels of nitrates in the groundwater, which can cause birth defects. The groundwater in California’s Central Valley

also has unhealthy levels of nitrates, possibly because of ag runoff.

Here on the North Coast, where most dairies are small, family-owned, and pasture-based, the biggest threat from cow poop is algal blooms, said Mark Neely of the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board. Those same nutrients that grass likes — particularly nitrogen and phosphorus — can ignite algae blooms, which can raise a waterway’s pH to fishkilling levels and starve the water of oxygen as it decomposes. Some types of algae are poisonous. At least 12 dogs have died after swimming in algae-infested Humboldt waters since 2001.

Dairies aren’t the only potential causes of water pollution — runoff from logging, leaky septic systems and non-dairy

level permit: Two were required to do so because they have more than 700 cows; the third has leaked contaminated water in the past.

The permit for the third category is actually a waiver. Dairies are granted a waiver if the water board deems them a negligible threat to water quality. Unlike the other two permits, dairies with a waiver permit do not pay an annual fee, which, for the most egregious polluters, can cost tens of thousands every year.

The water board hasn’t finished its inspections, and the number of dairies with the second-level permit could still rise, said Neely, but the number of waiver applications indicate that local dairies think they’re already doing a good job.

They probably are, he said, acknowledging that for the most part, the new regulations are more about fulfilling legal oversight requirements and less about correcting an existing public safety hazard. “We don’t have any known problems that have driven the program,” he said, adding, “But it may [be] a question of not knowing the problems yet.”

The dairy famers have until November to give the water board their paperwork.

Farmers applying under the waiver have to submit, among other things, a detailed aerial map of their dairy and a 10-page wa-

parents, Anne and Curtis Holgersen, are seated around the dining table at the Holgersen house in Loleta. A binder, given to Nickols at a recent educational meeting, sits next to her on the table. It’s full of instructional materials and forms to fill out — 3½ inches worth. She measured.

To Nickols’ right, Curtis Holgersen looks at a map of the family dairy with furrowed brow, marking it with a pen.

On the wall in the next room hangs a photograph of Holgersen’s grandparents.

They arrived here from Denmark more than 100 years ago and started the dairy.

Their son worked here his whole life, and his son, Holgersen, 67, grew up working on the dairy.

He’s not happy about the new regulations. “This is like if the water board were to come into your backyard and ask you, by weight, how much crap your dog produces and exactly where it goes,” he says.

ter quality plan questionnaire. The waiver also requires farmers to be ready to prevent runoff of contaminated rainwater for 24 hours during the biggest storm in a quarter-century, which for some Humboldt dairies could mean 14 inches of rain in one day.

Once the waiver application is submitted, farmers have one year to make any necessary changes to qualify for the waiver. The manure that cows leave in the field isn’t as likely to enter waterways in significant quantities as is the manure slurry that gets shot out of sprinklers, or the water running straight off of concrete.

Most of the water board’s suggested fixes will probably address those sources of pollution. Solutions include putting up gutters to prevent clean rainwater from running onto soiled concrete, erecting roofs to prevent the rain from hitting the concrete in the first place, creating buffer zones around waterways and building bigger poop-lagoons.

Neely said that most dairy farmers already have the answers to the water board’s questions either in their head or on paper, and much of the work will simply be filling in the blanks. Still, a little grumbling is to be expected, he said. “Dairymen don’t like paperwork.

They’d rather be out in the field feeding the cows.”

agriculture all put nutrients and sediment in the water. Most of those are probably bigger polluters than dairies, say those who keep an eye on Humboldt waters.

While the water quality experts seem to agree that local dairies are mostly doing a good job, they say the new regulations can’t hurt.

“There are many sources of pollution to local water, and certainly agriculture is one of those,” said Andrew Orahoske, conservation director at the Environmental Protection Information Center (EPIC).

Dairies in particular are potential polluters because of the way they concentrate manure and contaminated water, he said.

He said that in the past, EPIC received more complaints about pollution from dairies, but it seems like they’ve collectively cleaned up their act in the last 10 years. Every once in a while, though, EPIC still gets complaints, he said, and having water quality regulations on the books is a sensible step.

Fisheries biologist and Humboldt Bay Harbor Commissioner Patrick Higgins concurred. Like Orahoske, he said that the dairies are much cleaner than they were a decade ago, but that more oversight is a good thing. Although farmers might feel the regulations are onerous and unnecessary, Higgins said, it’s important to remember that the regulations aren’t for the benefit of the dairies — they’re meant to protect public waterways.

The new regulations affect roughly 150 dairies and 50,000 cows scattered across Del Norte, Siskyou, Mendocino, Sonoma, Marin and Humboldt counties, and will satisfy both the monitoring requirements of the federal Clean Water Act and state dairy regulations.

Neely led the effort to create the new program, officially called (take a breath) “Water Quality Compliance Program for Dairies and Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs).” The program has three categories, with different permits for each. The first category is for dairies that regularly allow a significant amount of contaminated water to run into surface water. Neely said that doesn’t happen at any local dairies.

The second category is for dairies that have a high risk of allowing contaminated water to run into surface water, and for dairies with more than 700 cows. Only three dairies applied for the second-

Kelsey MacIlvaine as the Emcee and Elena Tessler as Sally Bowles in Ferndale Rep’s Cabaret. photo by Matt Knowles, Aesthetic Design and Photography

Woody’s Cabaret 1930s Berlin and America in alternating Ferndale Rep shows

By William S. Kowinski williamkowinski@northcoastjournal.com

F

ledgling American small town writer Cliff Bradshaw (played by Charlie Heinberg) comes to Berlin in 1929, and falls into a relationship with British singer Sally Bowles (Elena Tessler), first seen in the infamous cabaret, the Kit Kat Club, where the androgynous Emcee (Kelsey MacIlvaine) presides over a

carnival of decadence. Meanwhile, Bradshaw’s landlady (played by Rae Robison) is courted by an equally late middle-aged fruit grocer (JM Wilkerson.)

Their relationships with each other and several other characters are the principal focus of the first act of the musical Cabaret, as produced at Ferndale Reper-

tory Theatre. But the realities of a country moving toward Nazi rule intrude in the much shorter Act II. Elena Tessler’s vitality, her strong and supple voice, are again evident, though the role of Sally Bowles is less prominent on stage than in the Liza Minnelli movie.

MacIlvaine is energetic and magnetic, Heinberg is winsome, Robison and Wilkerson are charming and convincing. Among the capable supporting cast, Caitlin McMurtry is again incandescent.

The band is especially important and especially good. Additional cast members are Jeremy Webb, Jessie Shieman, Linnea Hill, Julia Giardino, Zoey Berman, Dante Gelormino, Qaiel Peltier, Jeffrey Ray Kieser and Jaison Chand. The orchestra is Dianne Zuleger, Justin Ross, Tamaras Abrams, Stephanie Douglass, Michael Lewis, Gina Piazza, Amber Grimes, Monica Dekat and John Petricca.

Director Ginger Gene, musical director Dianne Zuleger and choreographer Linda Maxwell have constructed a fluid production, while lighting by Liz Uhazy and costumes by Erica Fromdahl match the moods. The songs are by the team of Fred Ebb and John Kander, who later wrote the songs for Chicago.

The sexuality it portrayed was still scandalous when Cabaret became a Broadway sensation in 1966, and there were many who remembered the actual 1930s (in fact, the original cast included Lotte Lenya, famous for singing in Brecht and Kurt Weil productions in Berlin at the time this musical is set). The original production (and the 1972 film) emphasized the grotesque elements of this Berlin with theatrical techniques new to Broadway.

But today in Humboldt County, nothing much of the show’s sexuality is unfamiliar, let alone shocking. The textures of those times and that place — even as then known through media filters — are mostly remote, replaced by a few symbols and images. So this show could now be considered a cautionary tale about the peril of ignoring political dangers. Or it could be seen as sentimentalizing a complexly horrible time, while approximating a style that has lost its edge. Or you can see it as both, which is pretty much my view.

Cabaret resumes its run at Ferndale Rep Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. July 27-28, and again on Aug. 10-11 and 24-25, with Sunday matinees on July 29, Aug. 12 and 26.

In roughly the same period that Cabaret takes place, the Great Depression was taking hold in the U.S. just as an ecological disaster called the Dust Bowl was driving thousands of already poor farmers from Oklahoma and other states, principally to California. An itinerant self-taught musician named Woody Guthrie joined their journey and wrote songs about the experience.

Five of those songs, collected on Guthrie’s

first commercial album, are among the 19 featured in Woody Guthrie’s American Song, the show that alternates with Cabaret this summer at Ferndale Rep. Woody Guthrie collected folk melodies and chronicled the 1930s and ’40s, “from California to the New York island” (as his famous song says). Some of his songs (like “This Land is Your Land”) are so ubiquitous that many listeners today probably don’t know he is their author.

Those old enough to remember the folk revival of the ’60s (and the smaller ’90s revival) are likely to recall songs like “Bound for Glory,” “Pastures of Plenty” and “Hard Travelin’” as done by Peter, Paul and Mary, The Kingston Trio, Pete Seeger or by Woody’s son, Arlo Guthrie, or more recently by Bruce Springsteen.

Guthrie’s songs do reflect America but not in a generic way, and their relevance recurs in our time. Just as Cabaret may remind us that beyond the repugnant noise of politics truly dangerous forces may be on the march, Guthrie’s lyrics reveal the human costs incurred by the rich exploiting the rest, masked by the smiley face of fake patriotism. That songs like “Union Maid” and “Deportee” (both in this show) are again topical in 2012 should be the real shock.

Members of the ensemble performing these songs at Ferndale Rep are Devin Galdieri, Jo Kuzelka, Steve Nobles, Dianne Zuleger, Jeremy Webb, KJ Jusefczyk and Roger Vernon. Pete Zuleger, Val Leone and Larry Hudspeth are the accompanying band. Woody Guthrie’s American Song is directed by Dianne Zuleger, with lighting design and technical direction by Liz Uhazy. It plays Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. on July 20-21, Aug. 3-4 and 17-18, with Sunday matinees on July 22, Aug. 5 and 19.

Elsewhere: The Rangeelay Theatre Ensemble’s IN’ Tents: A Conservation Comedy in the Great Outdoors plays Thursday, July 19, at 8:30 p.m. at the Elk Prairie Campground in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. This is a collaboration by several actors from Dell’Arte, Meghan Frank and Pratik Motwani, who produced the death and dying rumination, Exit 101, and director Janessa Johnsrude, who was in the cast of Mary Jane: The Musical (as was Motwani). Their Chaplin-esque educational comedy details the misadventures of first-time camper Chipotle (Motwani) who is schooled by park ranger Patricia Pinky (Frank) on how to camp out without messing up our natural spaces. After a local run, including a show Friday, July 20, at Jedediah Smith Campground, the show goes national with stagings in Yosemite, Grand Canyon and Rocky Mountain national parks.

Coming Up: On July 26, North Coast Repertory Theatre opens the comedy The Red Velvet Cake War. l

Folk in the Cyber Age Caitlin Jemma, plus Folklife Free Fest, The Tribal Stomp, Mask-R-Aid and The Intelligence

By Bob Doran

Caitlin Jemma

bobdoran@northcoastjournal.com

I

’ve never met Caitlin Jemma, never heard her play her music live, but I feel like I know her, like we’re somehow connected. Of course this connection is just a digital illusion — she is a young folksinger living and sharing her music in the cyber landscape. I discovered Caitlin, who lives in Arcata and apparently is going to HSU, through her ReverbNation page. We’ve since become “friends” on Facebook; I watched and listened to her heartfelt pitch on Kickstarter asking for $1,000 to finish up an album she was working on. “Some of the songs on the album are about being homesick, others are about being lovesick; some are about traveling and nature, others are about dreams, gardens, cowgirls, berries and romance,” she wrote. “All document my journey into womanhood and as a new musician ready to share my art with you and the rest of the world.”

By the time I saw her vid, she’d already raised the money she needed and a little more.

At this point you can buy her record Home Means The Hills via Bandcamp, yet another digital platform — “name your price,” or you can just listen to it, which is what I’m doing right now.

Her songs are good; she has a way with words, telling tales of magical forests and the like. Her voice is clear as a mountain stream with a bit of backwoods twang hinting at roots in the Appalachians, but as she explains, she actually “grew up in the tiny historic mining town of Virginia City, Nevada.” She draws inspiration from “old country songs,” something you hear in the sweet harmonies that recur on her record. She strums a guitar on some songs, a mandolin on others; I particularly like the banjo tunes. She was looking to borrow one for her album release party Tuesday at Robert Goodman Wines, “just in case Joe WhiskeyWhiskers Deschaine makes a request.” Blue Oaks, Lyndsey Battle and Chris Parreira are among those who will join her that night.

Caitlin is not part of the lineup for the big Humboldt Folklife All Day Free Festival Saturday at Dell’Arte, but a bunch of her friends are, including Battle, who plays at 2 p.m., and Parreira, who is in The Trouble, the band closing the show. I imagine I might meet even meet her there; pretty much every folky in NoHum will be there. There are dozens of acts and workshops, too many to mention them all. Some I’m looking forward to: The Dead Strings, who were busking at last year’s fest (11 a.m.), Mo and Morgan, a folky match made in heaven (12:30 p.m.), guitar picker extraordinaire Todd Krider (1:15 p.m.), all on the street stage.

On the Rooney Amphitheater stage: Swami Love Child, which is a variation on The Bayou Swamis with a horn section replacing fiddler/ accordionist Randle Lundgren, who is out with a broken arm (1 p.m.); the gospel of Mo’ Betta, with Swami Jeff Landen on guitar and soulful vocals by James Harris, Jeff Thomas and Andy Hannon plus bassist Gary Davidson and Tim Gray on drums (2 p.m.); Colin Vance and Cory Goldman‘s old time tunes (3 p.m.); Baykeepers’ swingin’ house band Kenny Ray and the Mighty Rovers (4 p.m.); the sweet Mendo import The Blushin’ Roulettes (5 p.m.); the Gram Parsons-esque Bakersfield country of Cadillac Ranch (6 p.m.) and of course the above-mentioned closer, The Trouble, who have new songs every time I hear them. In the middle of all that (at 3 p.m.), I’ll head upstairs for another über-cool Beatles sing-a-long led

by Joel Sonenshein. Big fun in Blue Lake!

You’ll find Caitlin’s friend Joe Deschaine from Ba-Dum-Chh Comedy Troupe at the Jambalaya Friday night, serving as emcee for The Second Annual Mask-R-Aid, a costume party put on by Don Husman II of In Human Creation. The parade of performers includes Madame Delicious, ZZ LaRouge, Hoop Dreamer and Lex (think burlesque), The Janky Mallets drummers, rock by Petromart and dubstep EDM by Cyber Shaman. Proceeds

North Coast Journal • Thursday, July 19, 2012 • northcoastjournal.com

benefit Odds & Ends, a local creative reuse art project soon to become Scrap Humboldt.

Costume contest right before midnight.

Friday at Humboldt Brews catch Fox Street All Stars, a bluesy jamband from Colorado whose singer, Jonathan “Skippy” Huvard, sounds like he’s spent some time smoking cigarettes and drinking whiskey back in the hills.

Saturday, HumBrews has a twang-jamband fan’s dream double-bill with The David Nelson Band and the semi-related Moonalice. The two bands are on their way to Junction City where they are part of Sunday’s Trinity Tribal Stomp lineup along with Latin rockers LoCura, folksinger Diane Patterson and a few others.

Saturday’s Stomp includes Humboldt’s own Absynth Quintet (who are playing tons of festivals this summer), The Victor Wooten Band, Poor Man’s Whiskey, Peter Rowan’s Big Twang Theory, the loveable Shook Twins and Clan Dyken.

The Stomp is also the start of Clan Dyken’s Emerald Triangle Bike Music Tour, with the eco-groovy rockers cycling more than 300 miles in two weeks on the way to The Gaia Festival, stopping along the way to play on the Arcata Plaza and at the Blue Lake Music Festival in Perigot Park on July 28. BTW, you are invited to join them: “We’ll be riding with bike music pioneers The Ginger Ninjas and bringing the music all along the way. Let’s just say this is guaranteed to be a blast. Riders of all ability and skill are welcome — you can do this!”

Ryan Bisio, born and raised in Arcata, is now a singer/songwriter living in Copenhagen, Denmark. He’s back in town briefly for a Thursday show at the Jambalaya, a CD release party for a new collection of pop/folk tunes he calls Harbor Longing. Indie-folk road warriors Gwyneth and Monko open.

Coming to the Shanty Saturday night: The Intelligence, a cool lo-fi combo from L.A. that includes Lars Finberg from Thee Oh Sees, touring behind a new album, Everybody’s Got

it Easy But Me. I particularly like the song “Reading And Writing About Partying.” (I guess I can relate.) Shanty bartender Jon Fisher tells me The Intel has a strong local following and that they’re playing with Technicolor Hearts from Austin, “an art project for lovers, a discourse between friends, an interactive expression of memories, feelings, sadness, happiness and a celebration of life,” according to the band’s Facebook page. Jon also notes, “Radios in Caves is the local opener — Eureka punk/psych or whatever — I’m in that band so I can’t really say anything about it without sounding like a self-promoting creep.” Let’s just say it’s a classic Shanty-style band — and that’s a good thing.

Do tattoos and vinyl go together? They do on Saturday (4-8 p.m.) when Old Growth Tattoo in Eureka offers ink specials while Subatomic Hi-fi DJs Gabe Pressure and Billy Goat spin hip hop, punk, reggae and soul rebel music (just in case you want to tat it up before you go to the Shanty).

Tuesday at the Riverwood, catch Igor and The Red Elvises, a band from SoCal led by Russian émigré Igor Yuzov mixing surf music, rockabilly and reggae with trad Russian sounds.

Sounds weird but kinda cool.

In the mood for something even further out? An incredibly eclectic collection of alt. this and that bands take turns on the stage in the back of the Works on Wednesday, July 25: There’s “femme schizo synth” by Blood Gnome, organic post-EDM by Medicine Baul, crustiness by Wretched Animals and the new “Arcata muscle beach party,” Shores Galore.

This “apocalyptic clash of musical genres” comes with a couple of warnings from Blood Gnome, including that it’s “probably” the band’s last show before a temporary hiatus, so, “Get it while you can.” Gnome Natalie Arroyo also notes, “This is an all-ages show, but you should know that every single one of our songs is about sex.” Um, isn’t everything? l

The last Reggae on the River at Benbow

911 Redwood Dr., Garberville

TOOTS HIBBERT AT REGGAE ON THE RIVER 2005 PHOTO BY BOB DORAN

Another year, another Reggae on the River: Saturday and Sunday at Benbow Lake State Recreation Area south of Garberville the Mateel Community Center will host its 28th annual reggae and world music festival. This one’s another step in what the Mateel folks are calling “the continuing evolution of MCC’s grassroots reclamation of the great Reggae On The River tradition,” biding farewell to Benbow “as the event gears up for a big return home to its original French’s Camp venue in 2013.”

Explaining how this year fits into the twists and turns in the history and future of Reggae on the River is, as they say on Facebook, “complicated.” Going home to French’s will be complicated, too. We’ll get to that in a minute. First let’s take a quick look at the music lineup for this weekend.

Headliner Frederick “Toots“ Hibbert and The Maytals closes Saturday night’s show with a set starting at 8:30 p.m. on the Main Stage. The soulful Toots, who has a music career stretching back 50 years, is arguably the man who gave reggae its name with his song “Do the Reggay.” Added bonus, his son, Junior Toots, plays earlier that day (4:25 p.m.) on the River Stage.

Closing Sunday’s show is Midnite, led by the Benjamin brothers, Vaughn and Ron, the top band in the St. Croix/Virgin Island reggae movement. Other islanders at the fest include St. Croix songstress Lady Passion (4:50 Sunday) and Bambú Station with Reemah playing Saturday (6:55).

While Midnite is on the Main Stage Sunday, Jamaican dancehall queen Lady Saw closes out the River Stage. Known as a female pioneer in slackness, she has apparently left her nasty ways behind for conscious music.

What would RotR be without a Marley? Young Daniel Bambaata Marley, son of Ziggy, grandson of Bob, plays Sunday (7:05 p.m.). Other progeny: Nkulee Dube, daughter of the late great South African reggae icon Lucky Dube, plays Saturday (3:55).

Speaking of Bob and The Wailers, a band of Jamaican all-stars led by bassist Fully Fullwood offers a tribute, Tosh Meets Marley, Saturday (2:35) with Tony Chin and Vince Black on guitars.

Taking things international: the awesome Zimbabwean guitarist Oliver “Tuku” Mtukudzi and Black Spirits Sunday (3:30); five-time Calypso Queen from Tobago Calypso Rose backed by Yellow Wall Dub Squad Sunday (1:50); Argentinean reggae/dancehall/hip-hop star Alika Saturday (1:30); and Londonborn reggae/ska vet Pato Banton (who now lives in Cali) Sunday (5:10).

Representing Humboldt reggae, two bands open the show (at 11 a.m.) on the River Stage: Saturday it’s Synrgy (who left us for Ashland); Sunday, JUCE, who add touches of hip hop and dub to the mix. And that’s just a few of the 30-plus acts playing.

You may notice that the closers start fairly early — there’s a 10 p.m. curfew at the park. Those who want to party into the wee hours have Awake Nation’s Cooks Valley Late Night Dancehall Dome down the road. This separate party at Keith Bowman’s Cooks Valley Campground (with separate admission) starts Friday at noon and promises music all night ranging from harder dancehall to

dub and dubstep. Among the performers: Cocoa Tea and Lutan Fyah backed

by The Caution Band, Norris Man, Rocker-T and Humboldt’s Lion Camp crew with Jah Sun, Ishi Dube, Stevie Culture, etc. plus DJs galore with Bass Craft providing the bottom-heavy sound system. A shuttle will take you from one show to the other, but the Mateel is not involved.

“They’re kind of riding our coattails,” said Doug Green, president of the Mateel board. It’s not clear what role Cooks Valley may play next year when, if all goes according to plan, RotR moves back upriver to French’s Camp near Cooks.

Green is working hard on getting the required permits to return to French’s in part because Benbow is less than ideal. He says he doesn’t exactly want to “go back to the good old days,” but there are things people miss. The older model, he says, “is about creating community. … People want to camp together and have that experience — and we’d like to go later than 10 o’clock.” Green also notes there is “insecurity about whether the park will stay open” caused by trouble in the state park system.

Green actually put of a couple of rock concerts at French’s in 1980 and ’82 and had started developing the property into a venue before the first Reggae on the River was held as a fundraiser to rebuild the Mateel Hall after a fire.

The festival grew and grew over a couple of decades, then blew up a few years ago after expanding across the river to Dimmick Ranch, the property next door to Cooks Valley.

What became known as the “Reggae War” followed with a divided SoHum community taking sides and an alternate fest, “Reggae Rising,” rising and falling amid a brutal, expensive legal battle that left Dimmick Ranch owner Tom Dimmick deep in debt.

After Dimmick defaulted on a $1 million loan with Redwood Capital Bank, it looked like the ranch would be auctioned off to the highest bidder. Green and Mateel GM Justin Crellin showed up for the auction. “I was interested in who might be interested in buying it,” said Green. But the auction didn’t happen: At the last minute, Dimmick staved off foreclosure by filing for bankruptcy.

Working with a new owner on arranging an easement to get into French’s would make it easier to get a crowd into the festival. However, “We have no arrangement and there’s none possible because the property is in foreclosure,” said Green, admitting that he knows little about the legal issues involved. He’s still uncertain how everything will work next year, how attendees will enter the property for example, but he’s feeling positive after meeting with some of the government agencies involved.

Another complication comes with the stated desire to return Reggae on the River to the first weekend in August. The Gaia Festival on Black Oak Ranch took over those dates when Reggae Rising fell. Will the two festivals go headto-head? Green said he’s hoping to discuss the timing with Gaia’s organizers, but again, how it will work out remains uncertain.

What is certain is that the Mateel folks have a reggae festival to run this weekend, and it should be a good one.

Greener “Humboldt” and “green” are as synonymous as “Canada” and “white.” Our forests are lush and glorious, we famously elected the first majority Green Party city council (in Arcata) and, uh, there was another stereotype … well, it’ll come to me.

Oh, maybe this was it: We dig on our environment!

Need tangible, event-form proof? Try the Plan It Green Conference/Expo, back for a sixth year of workshops and presentations on how communities can deal with the spectres of global climate change, diminishing natural resources and economic instability. The theme of this year’s conference, which runs Thursday, July 19, through Saturday, July 21, is “Adaptation: Creating a Resilient Future.”

“The new operating word we’re using is resilience,” says event organizer Larry Goldberg.

The conference is a networking event as much as it is an information event, Goldberg says. And each year the network of attendees grows, he says, with more than 1,000 showing for last year’s conference.

This year, he expects more people from our region, including from Willits, Ukiah and Clear Lake.

In addition to learning new stuff, each conferencegoer will receive a snazzy digital community resilience toolkit on a 2GB USB drive (which you can totally later use to store vacation photos! Score!)

The greenness kicks off Thursday night at 7 p.m. in HSU’s Kate Buchanan Room with an introduction

by Plan It Green’s Steve Salzman. Following that: a presentation, “Resiliency and an Uncertain Future,”

by HSU instructor Kathleen Lee, video presentations

and, finally, a good ol’ drink and snack hobnob session.

But don’t get too toasty with the green team Thursday. Friday is jampacked and starts bright and early at 8 a.m. in the KBR with a thanks-for-comin’ from Goldberg and HSU President Rollin Richmond, followed by a totally carbon footprint-reducing webcast with educator and environmentalist Bill McKibben (that’s practicin’ what you preach).

Then it’s off to the races with a load of breakout sessions in various HSU locations from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Highlights include presentations on transportation networks, food security, “transition towns” (communities proactively seeking ways to green up), Humboldt Bay studies and how to help greenify local business practices. After the 5 p.m. social hour, keynote speaker, Richard Heinberg, journalist and senior fellow at the Post Carbon Institute, takes over.

Saturday, proceedings move to the Arcata Community Center for the free, free, free Building Green Communities Tradeshow/Expo, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., in which dozens of businesses and organizations flex their green. Don’t miss the Wheels of Change Vehicle Show featuring groovy alternative-fuel, hybrid and electric vehicles. Oh, there’s a solar pizza oven, too.

Blam.

So step up, HumCo, and get yer green on. Tickets for Friday’s green scene are available online at adaptationconference.org, at Wildberries and/or at the event (but Larry recommends getting ’em in advance unless you love registration lines).

ICE AGE: CONTINENTAL DRIFT

Got It Down Cold If you like the Ice Age movies, well here’s another one

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

ICE AGE: CONTINENTAL DRIFT. You might as well take the kids to see the fourth installment of the Ice Age series because they’re not going to stop making them. And why should they? These folks have the family movie thing down cold.

The films look great, they have some heart, they’re witty and they’re fun for both parents and kids. And thankfully they’re not three hours long. Is anybody else secretly glad the Harry Potter movies are over?

The herd is assembled again, led by Ray Romano as the put-upon mammoth father, Manny. Romano has turned an extinct hairy elephant into an everyman with whose frustrations parents can

identify. He’s also a member of another rare species: an admirable cartoon dad. As Diego the saber-tooth and Sid the sloth, Dennis Leary and John Leguizamo have a solid odd-couple shtick. (One wonders, though, how Leguizamo can keep his drooly lisp going for a whole film.) At the end of the day, these are all funny people, and they seem to be having a pretty good time inhabiting their cartoon characters.

In previous episodes, the herd has been visited by the drama of human hunters, geothermal change, impending extinction, historically out-of-place dinosaurs and new parenthood. Now, Manny and his mate Ellie (Queen Latifah) are beset by the teen drama of their daughter Peaches (Keke Palmer). This on top of the shifting land masses and iceberg pirates. Some of the themes are a bit pat — be yourself; kids have to grow up sometime — but they aren’t pushed too hard.

Unfortunately, the teen subplot doesn’t yield much in the way of comedy compared to the slapstick and ribbing in the earlier movies. Mostly the film moves from one action sequence to another, with plenty of the franchise’s signature slides, jumps and falls. Kids will especially enjoy the prehistoric hamsters who have a Braveheart moment.

There are a number of new cast members, too. The hilarious Wanda Sykes hollers and gripes along as Sid’s long-lost grandmother. Peter Dinklage, who’s always both funny and intense, has

a ball as Captain Gutt, the primate pirate who snarls, rages and bursts into song.

Who knew? Jennifer Lopez, on the other hand, slinks onscreen as more or less herself: a sexy saber-toothed white tiger in fabulous hoop earrings. The rest of the inter-species pirate crew is good for a few laughs, too.

At the end of the day, Scrat the squirrel’s single-minded acorn lust is still the highlight. He’s a bug-eyed portrait of compulsion and desire. His schemes and sufferings — the falls! the flattenings! the bends! — are worth the price of admission. PG. 94m.

Previews

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. The most anticipated blockbuster of the summer, this third and reportedly final film in Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy picks up where the last one left off: with Batman (Christian Bale) a fugitive, blamed for the death of Gotham’s beloved district attorney. Now, a terrorist leader named Bane (Tom Hardy) lures the caped crusader from the shadows. Nolan has already raised the bar for superhero movies by painting Batman/Bruce Wayne as a tormented soul, someone motivated as much by anger, guilt and fear as by a quest for justice. And he’s used that character to explore such weighty themes as post-9/11 justice, American corruption and the futility of revenge — with plenty of explosions and chase scenes, of course. And this time, Anne Hathaway as Catwoman!

Meow. PG13. 164m.

SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED. Three hipster-cynic magazine employees find a classified ad that reads, “Wanted: Someone to go back in time with me. This is not a joke. You get paid after we get back.

Must bring your own weapons.” They track down the author, a credulous supermarket clerk who leads them into quirky comedy territory. Starring Aubrey Plaza (Parks and Recreation) and Mark Duplass. R. 86m.

The Arcata Theatre Lounge has a grab-bag of cheesiness for this week’s Sci-Fi Pint and Pizza Night, offering “babes, beaches, monsters and Tommy Kirk.” Thursday night’s camp thrills start at 6 p.m. with It’s Alive (1969), a rubbermonster movie starring Kirk, who as a kid starred in such family fare as Old Yeller and The Hardy Boys. That will be followed

by Catalina Caper (1967), a beach party mystery that also stars Kirk and features Little Richard singing “Scuba Party.” Friday night at 9, the ATL will show one of the greatest comedies of all time, the Coen

Movie Times brothers’ 1987 classic Raising Arizona, starring Nicolas Cage and Holly Hunter as a pair of loony hillbilly baby-nappers.

PG13. 94m. The hilarity continues Sunday at 6 p.m. with another classic from the same year, Rob Reiner’s eminently quotable, tongue-in-cheek fairytale comedy The Princess Bride. PG. 98m.

Continuing

ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER. Little-known historical fact: Honest Abe had ninja-like skills with an ax, and he used ‘em to chop down bloodsuckers. And by “fact” we mean “bullshit.”

R. 105m.

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN. It’s only been five years since the last Tobey Maguire/Sam Raimi installment, but director Mark Webb manages to give Spidey new dimension in this satisfying, if extraneous, reboot. PG13. 136m.

BRAVE. Pixar’s stunning animation doesn’t disappoint, even if this tale of a precocious Scottish princess lacks the studio’s usual depth. PG. 93m.

FOR GREATER GLORY. Andy Garcia stars in this historical chronicle of the Cristeros War (1926-1929), a popular uprising against an anti-Catholic Mexican government. R. 145m.

MADAGASCAR 3: EUROPE’S MOST WANTED. Top-notch voice talent and clever sight gags distinguish the continuing slapstick adventures of goofy zoo fugitives. PG. 85m.

MAGIC MIKE. Channing Tatum stars as a male stripper/aspiring entrepreneur in director Steven Soderbergh’s lively — and surprisingly gritty — drama. R. 110m.

MOONRISE KINGDOM. Wes Anderson’s trademarks abound — dollhousestyle set design, slow-mo walking shots, copious homages to the 1960s, etc. — but they never overwhelm the sweetness in this bittersweet chronicle of first love.

PG13. 94m.

SAVAGES. Oliver Stone brings his ham-fisted self-seriousness to this tale of ambitious weed dealers who get mixed up with a Mexican cartel and John Travolta’s crooked CIA agent. R. 130m.

TED. This feature film debut from Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane, about a pothead Bostonian (Mark Wahlberg) and his sentient teddy bear, is crass, uproarious and surprisingly touching. R. 106m.

TO ROME WITH LOVE. Woody Allen’s latest is a mess, a hodgepodge of pretty characters in a pretty European city and not much more. R. 112m.

—Ryan Burns

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: ALEXANDRA SINZ A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by MARK SINZ in the Superior Court of California, County of Humboldt.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that MARK SINZ be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on July 26, 2012, at 1:50 p.m. at the Superior Court of California, County of Humboldt, 825 Fifth Street, Eureka, in Dept. 8.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the deceased, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within four months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in Probate Code Section 9100. The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Any person objecting to the name changes described above must file a written objection that includes the reasons for the objection at least two court days before the matter is scheduled to be heard and must appear at the hearing to show cause why the petition should not be granted. If no written objection is timely filed, the court may grant the petition without a hearing.

NOTICE OF HEARING Date: August 6, 2012 Time: 1:45 p.m.

The address of the court is: Same as noted above, Dept. 8 Date: June 21, 2012 Filed: June 21, 2012 /s/ DALE A. REINHOLTSEN Judge of the Superior Court

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: KATHLEEN K. MURRAY, KATHLEEN MURRAY A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by SYLVIA A. MERIWEATHER in the Superior Court of California, County of Humboldt.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that SYLVIA A. MERIWEATHER be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by court.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on July 26, 2012 at 1:50 p.m. at the Superior Court of California, County of Humboldt, 825 Fifth Street, Eureka, in Dept. 8.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the deceased, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within four months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in Probate Code Section 9100. The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

f you’re considering going on a diet to lose weight, you may want to first check the latest evaluations from U.S. News and World Report. every year, experts and readers of USNWR evaluate hundreds of diets, listing what they consider to be the top 25. the results are pretty depressing. according to the most recent ranking (http://health. usnews.com/best-diet), even their no. 1 top-rated “DasH” diet (Dietary approaches to stop Hypertension) only garnered a 30 percent “yes” from readers responding to the question, “Did this diet work for you?” (661 yes, 1511 no). more typical was the south Beach diet, which “worked” for less than 9 percent of the 10,000-plus readers who had tried it. it gets worse: 95 percent of americans who lose weight in the first four to six months after embarking on a diet plan are back at their pre-diet weight by the end of the first year. You don’t even have to look at the data (from the national Weight control Registry, http://www. nwcr.ws/). amazon has over 40,000 books with the word “diet” in the title. ask yourself, if just one of these diets worked reliably, why is there an insatiable market for new ones?

For millions of years, before the era of fast — and cheap — food, our innate craving for sugars and fats did more good than harm. the principal risk to survival for our hunting and gathering forebears didn’t come from a saber-toothed tiger, the risk of falling off a cliff, or infection from an untreated cut; it came from starvation. We needed those fats (to maintain body temperature), sugars (to provide energy) and proteins (to build cells). our bodies are super-sensitive to the slightest drop in calorie input and/or weight, because our very survival once depended on it. around 1960, at least in this part of the world, everything changed with the advent of fast food. in the half-century since, obe-

sity, defined as a Body mass index greater than 30, has tripled. (Bmi = 703 x weight-inpounds/height-in-inches squared.) Despite popular opinion, it’s not that we’re bad, weak people who have no will power. it’s that the genes that brought us through all those ancient famines and droughts are the same genes that tell us to eat and eat and eat. there’s nothing magical or complicated about weight gain; it can’t help but happen when the calories in exceed the calories out. Food and drink are the input, of course. the output is the energy it takes to stay alive. Just as your savings will increase if your income exceeds your expenses, your girth will grow if your food calories exceed those you metabolize. it’s that simple. it doesn’t even matter which of the three macronutrient food groups supply those intake calories. From your body’s point of view, a calorie is a calorie is a calorie, whether from fat, protein or carbohydrates. if it’s not used for energy, it’s going to end up somewhere on your body, either as muscle mass or tummy flab.

Unfortunately, if you are inclined to the heavy side, nearly 4 billion years of evolution have taught your body to be quite efficient in how it uses the food-fuel you eat. one pound of energy stored in your body translates to 3,500-4,000 calories, while a 150-pound adult burns only about 600 calories a week by exercising moderately for 30 minutes daily. so although daily moderate exercise — brisk walking, for instance — is virtually essential to maintain weight loss, it takes an adjustment on the intake side to lose weight in the first place. Which is where diets come in. But, as the saying goes, you can’t out-train a bad diet. so if you’re serious about weight loss, how do you get into that exclusive 5 percent group of people who lose it and keep it off? check here in a week. l Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo. com), BMI 22.6, swears by good Welsh sheepherder genes, no TV,

Meet our staff

Juliet attended California State University in Bakersfield

while simultaneously working her way through college there. She took a brief hiatus for a trip to Humboldt County with her daughter Lilli. They loved it here and have put down new roots. Forrest, Juliet’s older son and his infant daughter, Prieya, decided to stay down south. One Christmas Juliet gave her daughter a six month old rescued filly whom Lilli aptly named “Miracle.” Lilli cares for the young horse and now that she is older, Miracle is becoming accustomed to saddle and reins. It will be another year before the little filly is ready for Lilli to take her riding. Juliet and Lilli are happy campers and beachcombers when they go out for a fun time together. “The greatest thing,” says Juliet, “about working at Murphy’s is the crew. We are like a family and so are our customers.”
