Elections Matter Editor: It sounds like good news that Mercer-Fraser has withdrawn its controversial cannabis facility permit and zoning change application next to water district wells on the Mad River (“Mercer-Fraser Co. Withdraws Controversial Glendale Site Plans,” posted online April 18). But it’s bad news that it can re-submit the same application as soon as the political climate cools and the composition of the board of supervisors stays favorable.

The next elections could change the 4-1 voting block on this board of supervisors, which gave us the revised General Plan land use designations allowing a change from agricultural to industrial zoning in Mercer-Fraser’s 100-year floodplain.

Let’s vote for balance on the board and improve our chances for clean water and healthy watersheds.

Joyce King, McKinleyville

Kudos to KHSU Editor: I have been confused and even a little mystified by the long-ongoing coverage of the Josiah Lawson murder investigation (“Languishing or Progressing?” April 19).

Many of my questions were answered by two items on KHSU’s web page.

The first is “13 of the Claims Made about Arcata’s Investigation in the Lawson Homicide” (NCJ Daily, April 19). This is a partial listing of the items in the civil claim made by Charmaine Lawson against the city of Arcata. The second is “Former FBI Officials Speaks out on Lawson Case” (“Retired FBI Agent: Lawson’s Murder Can and Should Be Solved,” posted online April 16). This is an interview primarily with Tom Parker, the retired FBI official who was contracted to help with the investigation. Shelley Mack, Charmaine Lawson’s attorney also contributes, and KHSU’s Lorna Bryant does an excellent job of conducting the interviews. Parker’s manner is calm, his remarks are judicious and the story he tells of the investigation is illuminating, to say the least. Go to www.KHSU.org to the bottom of the home page. Click on page two listed there and both the article and the interview will be on the second page.

If you just want to know “what the hell is going on?” these two items will explain a whole lot.

So Many Questions

Supes candidates square off in first forums of election season

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

T

he races for two seats on the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors officially kicked into gear April 23 with the public watching the candidates square off in real time at a pair of forums.

In the race for the Fourth District seat held by two-term incumbent Virginia Bass, the League of Women Voters and the Rotary Club of Eureka hosted Bass and challengers Dani Burkhart and Mary Ann Lyons before a room of a few dozen people, mostly Rotarians, finishing lunch. About six hours later and 20 miles north, two-term Fifth District incumbent Ryan Sundberg took the stage with challenger Steve Madrone before a packed audience of more than a couple hundred at Azalea Hall. In both venues, there was a lot to talk about. A moderator peppered the candidates with questions, giving them a minute apiece to respond.

Fourth District

First elected to the board in 2010, Bass is the former mayor and a life-long resident of Eureka, where she also served on the city council, and she spent much of the forum touting her experience and accomplishments. Burkhart is an environmental planning consultant who has lived in Humboldt County for about nine years and worked primarily as a cannabis industry consultant before Bernie Sanders’ failed presidential bid in 2016 inspired her to get involved in local politics via the Humboldt County

DR. PAUL DOMANCHUK OPTOMETRIST

Democratic Central Committee, becoming vice treasurer in 2017. Lyons, meanwhile, is an independent study teacher for kindergarten through eighth graders and a community organizer, most notably having served as the local chair of Barack Obama’s 2007 primary campaign. All three are Humboldt State University graduates.

The first question the candidates faced at the forum — what they would do to attract non-cannabis-related businesses offered a contrast.

Burkhart responded that cannabis is important but not the “end all, be all” of the local economy, saying surveys have shown local employers need workers with industry-specific skills, so she’d like to see the county focus on training programs and fostering a better relationship with HSU. Bass said housing is a big economic barrier. While affordable housing is often talked about, she said there’s also a shortage of “workforce” and “professional” housing that can make it hard for the county to attract businesses, as well as recruit and retain a skilled workforce.

Lyons centered her answer on a single word: redundancy. She said the county needs more fiber optic infrastructure to prevent internet outages and make the county a more desirable home for businesses. She also pointed to vocational training as a need.

There was a bit more uniformity on railroads and trains. Lyons and Burkhart both talked enthusiastically about state Sen. Mike McGuire’s pending bill to dissolve the North

Coast Rail Authority and replace the northsouth track with a trail, saying they believed better trail systems would prove an economic driver for the North Coast. Bass was more tepid in her support, saying there’s some confusion about the bill, but said she thinks rails to trails has “always been an amazing concept.” All three candidates indicated they are intrigued by the proposal to create an east-west rail line that would connect Humboldt Bay to the national rail grid — a proposal that at least one study has shown prohibitively expensive and not economically viable. The candidates said they like the idea, but all indicated county resources are better spent in other areas until proponents of the concept can push it further along.

Asked whether they support the ballot initiative to designate Humboldt County a “sanctuary county,” which would prohibit “collaboration and information sharing” between county employees and U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, except as required by law for some serious crimes, Lyons and Burkhart were emphatic in their support. But Bass said she opposed the measure, saying she thought it would give people a “false sense of security” because the county can’t keep ICE from enforcing immigration laws within its jurisdiction and “won’t change anything the sheriff currently does.”

All three candidates said they are opposed to placing a safe injection site — a managed facility in which intravenous drug users could shoot up without fear of arrest or citation — within the Fourth District. On the subject of Measure Z funding — the revenue from a half-cent countywide sales tax increase — the candidates also agreed too much of the funding is going toward the sheriff’s office and they’d like to see more spent on addressing homelessness and addiction. Burkhart and Lyons also indicated they felt Eureka — the county’s retail center that is responsible for a hefty percentage of those Measure Z dollars — isn’t getting its fair share of funding. Bass didn’t seem to disagree, but said the county can only fund what’s applied

for and indicated she’s “encouraging” the city of Eureka to apply for more funding.

On the subject of how to improve healthcare on the North Coast, Burkhart said the county needs to support re-launching HSU’s nursing program and quality-of-life improvements (addressing blight, building trails) to attract skilled workers. Lyons said the county needs to do a better job of selling itself as a desirable place to live and come up with creative incentives, like potentially developing properties to serve as subsidized housing for medical professionals. She also said there’s a “monopoly” on providers and the community needs to “work together” to come up with better solutions. Bass also voiced support for the HSU nursing program and said working to increase air travel options will make the area more desirable for upwardly mobile professionals. She also said the county needs to think outside the box, pointing to Open Door Community Health’s practice of helping physicians’ grandparents and support systems relocate to Humboldt County along with them.

The forum was recorded and will be broadcast on Access Humboldt. Check www. accesshumboldt.net for a schedule of show times or to view it online. The candidates are also slated to participate in a live KEET-TV forum May 9 at 7 p.m.

Fifth District

Minutes before the forum was slated to begin in McKinleyville, a handful of volunteers scrambled to put out extra chairs, the crowd already spilling out of the more than 150 chairs that had been set up. On stage, Sundberg — a lifetime McKinleyville resident and former insurance broker turned two-term incumbent and California Coastal commissioner — sat next to Madrone, a 45-year Humboldt County resident and executive director of the Mattole Salmon Group who teaches forestry and watershed management at HSU and has worked in watershed manContinued on page 8 »

agement, land-use planning and trail building.

Both candidates are HSU graduates.

As in the Fourth District forum, the two candidates fielded more than two dozen questions with a minute each to respond.

In his opening statement, Sundberg touted his job performance, noting that four years ago he sat in the same hall “talking about jobs and public safety” and that today the sheriff ’s office is fully staffed, having added dozens of deputies. Of the county’s 3.4 percent unemployment rate, Sundberg said, “I can’t take credit for that but I think the general direction that our board has set has contributed.” Madrone took the opening statement as a chance to introduce himself to the crowd, detailing his ties to the community — four kids, 16 grandkids — and his past work, which he said created jobs and brought some $20 million in grant funds into Humboldt County.

He said he’s working “to create lasting health and wealth” in the Fifth District.

When asked about the biggest environmental challenges facing the county, both candidates pointed to the cannabis industry, particularly the estimated 10,000 or so farms that haven’t taken any steps toward compliance. Sundberg touted the county’s work revamping its code enforcement unit and levying $10,000-a-day fines against some farms. The incumbent said the conversation needs to be split between compliant and uncompliant farms, as those in compliance are “sustainable farms at this point.” Madrone countered that the county’s ordinance rewards bad actors and hasn’t done enough to protect small farmers.

On a related note, the candidates were asked about whether they would permit industries using “dangerous chemicals in floodplains,” an obvious reference to Mercer-Fraser Co.’s now defunct proposal to put a cannabis concentrate manufacturing facility on its property in Glendale, adjacent to where the Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District pulls the majority of Humboldt County’s drinking water from the Mad River.

Sundberg responded that Mercer-Fraser’s proposal was actually to place the the facility “2 feet” above the floodplain and that the project’s volatile chemical was actually alcohol. Nonetheless, Sundberg said he “was not supportive” of the project and made clear it “will not be coming back, either, for any rumor starters.”

Madrone said 2 feet is still too close for comfort and pointed out that the planning commission approved the project. Moving forward, Madrone said there were changes made in the General Plan Update process that make way for similar changes and give developers “false hope.”

The challenger also made several references to what he sees as a potential conflict of interest with Sundberg and other unspecified supervisors who have taken large campaign

contributions from the cannabis industry.

Madrone said he has not — and will not — take any contributions from large players in the commercial cannabis industry. “When you’re elected, the public trust is so important,” Madrone said, adding that even the appearance of a conflict should be grounds for a supervisor to recuse himself or herself from a vote.

Sundberg countered that whenever there’s a question surrounding a conflict of interest, he has consulted county counsel and followed the office’s advice. Specifically on the subject of campaign finances, Sundberg said he’s gotten a “whole bunch” of maximum donations of $1,500, but said those have come from folks in both the pro- and anti-cannabis camps.

As in the Fourth District, the candidates were also asked whether they support the “sanctuary county” initiative. Madrone said he does, while Sundberg said he doesn’t.

Sundberg said it would take a tool away from the sheriff to deal with serious and violent felons, adding that the sheriff ’s office has only proactively contacted ICE twice in the last couple of years, once to deal with a child pornography suspect and once for a largescale drug trafficker.

The candidates also faced a number of McKinleyville-specific questions. Regarding a controversial proposal to put a Dollar General store in a predominantly residential neighborhood across the street from McKinleyville High School, Sundberg said the project is principally permitted under the parcel’s commercial zoning and there isn’t much the county can do. Madrone countered that he doesn’t think it’s a “done deal” and the county needs to do a better job of informing residents of potential zoning changes. Asked about the pending construction of a Department of Health and Human Services service center in town, Sundberg stressed that the project is only designed to serve children and families. Drug treatment services, and those for the homeless, “they’re staying in Eureka,” Sundberg said. Madrone said, “These issues don’t just exist in Eureka,” and he favored a “dispersed approach” in which every community has the services to address the issues it faces.

To watch the full forum — in which the candidates also weighed in on the McKinleyville Town Center plans, community forests and water quality at Clam Beach — visit Access Humboldt. Madrone and Sundberg are also slated to square off again at 7 p.m. on May 2 at the Willow Creek Community Services District Office and again on KEET-TV May 7 at 7 p.m. ● Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor.

Dude, Am I Stoned?

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

T

he frat-boy favorite Breathalyzer keychain may have a new, laid-back little friend.

Researchers at the University of Chicago have developed a prototype smartphone app designed to answer its namesake question, “Am I Stoned?” The app aims to “improve the safety of cannabis by making users more aware of their impairment,” according to research team leader Harriet de Wilt, professor in the university’s department of psychology and behavioral neuroscience.

The app asks users to complete a series of tasks on their phones designed to test their memory, reaction time and attention to determine if they are impaired. In a controlled study, researchers took two dozen non-daily cannabis users, gave half a placebo and half a pill with up to 15 milligrams of THC, and then had them perform a variety of tests.

The study found four tests were effective in detecting impairment but researchers warn the app is not intended to predict a person’s ability to drive, go to work or engage in activi-

ties that might cause harm.

So, much like the keychain Breathalyzer, the app seems more likely to play a starring role in the Stoner Olympics or become a footnote in scores of bad decisions than to spread awareness and promote public safety.

And, back to that name for a second. If you have to ask, you probably have your answer. l As revelers throughout Humboldt County braved lines to score some legal pot to celebrate 4/20, the state was hit with some sobering news: Revenues from the Golden State’s first two months of recreational cannabis sales came in 11.5 percent lower than projected.

According to data firm BDS Analytics, customers bought $338 million worth of legal marijuana products in January and February of this year — a huge number but less than expected. While the lagging sales are noteworthy, they’re not unexpected. The state has already cautioned that it expected sales to start slowly before ramping up as the year Continued on page 11 »

Week in Weed Continued from page 9

Officials cite a plethora of reasons for the slow start but the two largest factors seem to be that large swaths of the state still don’t have rules in place allowing recreational sales or have taken action to prohibit them altogether, and that taxes and compliance costs have legal weed selling at much higher prices than its black-market cousin.

To the last point, there’s an interesting contrast going on right now between California and Oregon, which legalized recreational weed in 2016. Our neighbor to the north created a low-barrier regulatory framework that made it relatively easy for growers to jump into the legal market. That’s proven good for consumers (they’re reportedly paying $4 or $5 a gram for high-quality buds, compared to the $10 to $17 a gram Humboldt County customers are paying) but ultimately bad for farmers, who are facing fierce competition and flooded markets. (It’s worth noting Oregon also capped combined state and local taxes at 20 percent, compared to the roughly 24 percent sales tax customers pay in Humboldt County, which comes after farmers have paid state and county cultivation taxes.) l After four decades in public office, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has had some kind of epiphany and decided the

federal government should decriminalize marijuana.

Schumer has pledged to introduce legislation that would allow states to set their own rules and would prohibit the feds from any enforcement efforts other than, potentially, to crack down on interstate shipping from legal to non-legal states. The bill — which Schumer says he was inspired to introduce after seeing that legal weed did a lot of good and no harm in states that have taken the plunge — would not address those in prison or with records for convictions under prohibition (he says that’s covered by Sen. Cory Booker’s Marijuana Justice Act).

The New York senator’s seemingly outof-nowhere shift is so curious and abrupt it caused the first reporter to sit down and discuss it with him, Shawna Thomas of VICE News (seriously), to ask him if it was all just a ploy to troll cannaphobic Attorney General Jefferson Beauregard Sessions.

Schumer insists it is not. But reading all this, I can’t help but ask, am I high? l Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor. Reach him at 442-1400, extension 321, or thad@northcoastjournal.com. Follow him on Twitter @thadeusgreenson.

MANNERS MATTER! I’m sure you all want to know proper protocol in the smoking circle.

Here’s some tips to keep everyone happy.

REMEMBER! Cannabis

affects everyone differently and should be used responsibly! #1. Bring Some to Share!

We all get high with a little help from our friends sometimes, but don’t be a regular freeloader. Be polite and contribute to the group.

#3. Tip Your Budtender!

The budtenders at your friendly neighborhood dispensaries work hard to be helpful and knowledgeable. Leave a tip to show your appreciation. #2. Puff, Puff, Pass...

When smoking a pipe, take a puff and pass to the person on your left. If you’re smoking a joint, take a couple puffs and pass. Everyone gets a turn.

#5. If you’ve rolled the joint, go ahead and take the first hit.

If you’re smoking from a pipe, it’s polite to offer someone else the first hit. While we’re on the subject, don’t torch the entire top of the bowl, just light the edge, to share the green love.

#4. Watch Where You Blow That Smoke!

Come on, folks -nobody wants a bunch of smoke blown in their face. Turn your head and blow away from your companions.

St. Joseph Hit with Anti-Trust Suit

T

he company that owns Redwood Urgent Care has filed a federal lawsuit against St. Joseph Hospital, alleging pervasive and systemic violations of state and federal laws designed to protect fair business competition.

Wahidullah Medical Corp., which owns Redwood Urgent Care and its outpatient medical testing laboratory, filed the anti-trust suit earlier this month, seeking a preliminary injunction, jury trial and unspecified damages. The suit — filed by a heavyweight anti-trust lawyer — alleges that St. Joseph Hospital has illegally conspired to stifle competition for outpatient medical lab testing in the Eureka market by misleading consumers, making its electronic medical records system incompatible with that of Redwood Urgent Care and actively defaming its competition in order to maintain up to 10-fold markups on services.

St. Joseph Hospital spokesperson Christian Hill declined to discuss the lawsuit, saying the hospital is “unable to comment on active litigation.” The hospital is expected to file a reply to the complaint in federal court in the coming weeks.

Wahidullah opened Redwood Urgent Care in 2014 after St. Joseph closed its urgent care facility, leaving the hospital’s

emergency room as the only option for patients with urgent but non-life-threatening ailments — an option that came with what the lawsuit calls “prohibitively expensive” costs for patients. Wahidullah opened its urgent care facility in 2014 and in January of 2017 opened a fully-accredited, out-patient medical testing lab, looking to bring competition for those services and allegedly “laying bare” the extent to which “St. Joseph Health’s lab services were overcharging its captive customer base.”

“For instance, some routine tests were nearly 10 times more expensive at St. Joseph Health’s lab services compared to those same tests at Redwood Lab,” the suit alleges, noting that St. Joseph was charging a patient without insurance coverage $327 for a vitamin D test compared to $36 at Redwood for the same test. (The suit alleges comprehensive metabolic panel and complete blood count tests were similarly eight to 10 times more expensive at St. Joseph.)

The suit alleges that patients and medical staff were “confident” in Redwood’s laboratory work.

“Unfortunately, St. Joseph Health, having already seen its lucrative emergency room business undercut by Redwood’s urgent-care facility, decided to protect its

Withdrawn: Mercer-Fraser Co. has withdrawn its controversial proposal to create a marijuana extraction plant on its Glendale property, which drew the ire of the Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District. The district pulls the majority of Humboldt County’s drinking water supply from the Mad River adjacent to the property and expressed contamination concerns.

After a century, an Arcata resident fulfills her family’s promise

By Kimberly Wear

kim@northcoastjournal.com

Illustrations by Jacqui Langeland

ntricately carved by the hands of an artist in central Mexico some 200 years ago, the delicately painted statue of baby Jesus with crimson lips and outstretched arms has spent the last century in the care of Marie Escher’s family.

After it was passed down to the Arcata resident in the early 1970s, she continued the long-held tradition of bringing the Niño Dios out at Christmas time, when he would hold court on her grand piano, nestled in red velvet and surrounded by holiday boughs, the special guest at decades of cocktail parties held in his honor.

Amid the passing of Champagne-filled glasses, Escher says she would relate the story of Niño Dios, whose history — now intricately linked with that of her own family — is as colorful as the picturesque mountain town of Guanajuato from which he came.

Born of a prayer answered and whisked away to safety from Pancho Villa’s marauding army, his future is now a matter of foreign relations, necessitating federal and congressional intervention to help secure a safe passage back.

Escher, a spry octogenarian with a quick laugh and bright smile, says in recent years she “started to worry about his future” and began charting a course to return Niño Dios to the church where he once sat perched on the hand of the Virgin Mary.

Now she hopes the petite statue — Left: Guanajuato, Mexico. Bill Perry Right: Niño Dios. Submitted

about the size of a small child — will soon be making his way home, with her family’s long held promise to keep him safe fulfilled. “I had often thought it would be good to get him back,” Escher says.

Ceremoniously known as El Niño de Atocha de Guanajuato, the statue’s creation — and eventual arrival in the United States — is steeped in the ravages of war.

The story begins at the Battle of Guanajuato in September of 1810 during the Mexican War of Independence, when a man was gravely wounded while defending the Spanish stronghold at the center of town. As his family prayed for him, they made a vow: If he recovered, they would have a statue of El Niño de Atocha commissioned for their parish church. The man survived and his family kept their pledge.

After the wooden baby Jesus was presented to the church, each year the religious icon would make a special pilgrimage to soldier’s family home for Las Posadas, a festival commemorating Mary and Joseph’s travels from inn to inn, searching for a safe place to stay.

That tradition was still taking place at the turn of the 20th century when Escher’s mother, aunts and uncle were growing up in Guanajuato with their Methodist missionary parents — a lineage Escher clearly delights in describing as “an interesting bunch.”

Her grandfather, Escher says, was a physician who treated anyone needing his help and became known as a “doctor to the nuns and the whores and the elephant in the circus,” the latter a reference to his successful care of a sick animal when

the traveling show stopped for a visit.

While living in Guanajuato — a silver mining town with bright pastel buildings packed tightly together on narrow cobblestone streets — Escher’s mother and aunt struck up a friendship with Maria de Jesus Arizmendi, a member of a prominent Guanajuato family and a direct descendent of the man whose brush with death led to the statue’s inception.

They were invited to join the family’s Las Posadas celebration, during which Escher says she was told Niño Dios was carried on “a large silver tray, surrounded

by French creams,” with the ritual being that revelers would kiss his baby toe before taking a treat.

But the Mexican Revolution erupted in 1910, once again thrusting the nascent country into the throes of war. During the ensuing decade of civil unrest, even churches were not immune to plunder and Pancho Villa, one of the revolution’s most prominent and feared figures, more than once made his way to Guanajuato.

On two occasions, Escher says, Villa lined her American grandfather up for execution, with her grandmother stepping in the first time to tell the general he would need to shoot her, too, as she never went anywhere without her husband. While both survived, Escher says the stress of living through the revolution took a toll on Continued on page 17 »

her grandmother’s health and she died in 1926, not long after the war’s end.

Amid these turbulent times, according to the family story, Maria came to visit Escher’s aunt, carrying with her a large box containing Niño Dios, and implored her to bring the baby Jesus with her back to the U.S. Although Escher’s aunt insisted the gift was too great, Maria persisted, saying the beloved statue would be unsafe in Guanajuato.

“You must take him because I’ve already done the penance for giving him to you,” Escher says her family holds Maria responded. But the Arizmendi family member also set down a few conditions, including that he must always be treated with respect and referred to as Niño Dios or Niño de Atocha.

When the aunt fled Mexico a year or so after Escher’s mother in 1916, she secreted Niño Dios away with her. For the next 30 years, she would teach Spanish literature at a Southern California college, presenting him to her students each year at Christmas time.

While growing up, Escher says her aunt often regaled her with stories of Niño Dios and her family’s time in Guanajuato, but she didn’t set eyes on him until she was in her 40s. By then raising three young

children in the Bay Area, Escher recalls with a smile how her Aunt Edith delivered the family treasure to their home, saying, “Here, he’s your responsibility now.”

Now 87, Escher has spent nearly a decade seeking to return Niño Dios to his rightful home, only to run into difficulties at every turn. Her overtures to the Mexican Consulate and the Catholic Church went unreciprocated, including a letter to the Vatican that went unreturned.

Undeterred, the Mills College graduate who minored in art history persevered, aided in recent years by friends. Among them is Louisa Rogers, who has a home in Guanajuato, which she describes as a “color fest” and an “incredible town.”

Escher, who visited the Arizmendi home during a visit to Guanajuato as a child, was able to remember the general location, which narrowed down Niño Dios’ likely church to two neighborhood parishes. Rogers visited both to take pictures of their statues and met with one of the priests.

Still, she left without finding a conclusive connection to the statue’s former home.

Meanwhile, Diane Johnson, a professor emeritus at Humboldt State University, wrote letters as well, attempting to secure

the religious statue’s safe passage to Guanajuato, with Escher concerned that Niño Dios would be in danger of confiscation or worse if efforts to bring him back were not undertaken with official documentation and protection.

It wasn’t until Escher reached out to the Eureka office of Congressman Jared Huffman that she was able to make headway, meeting with field representative John Driscoll and staffer Lindsay Righter, who connected with the Department of Homeland Security’s Cultural Property, Art and Antiquities Program.

The investigative unit works on “returning a nation’s looted cultural heritage or stolen artwork, promotes goodwill with foreign governments and citizens, while significantly protecting the world’s cultural heritage and knowledge of past civilizations.”

While Niño Dios didn’t exactly meet those parameters, Righter was able to connect with special agent David Keller, who works in the department’s San Francisco office. He agreed to help bring Niño Dios home.

More than 100 years after his arriving in the U.S., Escher placed Niño Dios into the care of Keller and fellow special agent Joe Hong during a March meeting at Huffman’s

Eureka office, the first step in a 2,000-mile journey back to Guanajuato.

For legal purposes, Escher had to sign the statue over to the American government, which, she says, “considers him as stolen property” for logistical reasons “because he doesn’t have any papers” to prove his provenance.

Protective until the end, Escher says she told her son she was prepared to “grab the baby Jesus in my arms and run out the door” if she had any doubts about how he would be treated. Such a measure, she says, turned out to be quite unnecessary, describing Keller as someone obviously “very concerned about doing the right thing and getting him home to the right place.”

Now the antiquities program will call on its cadre of experts to authenticate the origins of the statue and its age, examining the wood and paint for clues, as well as trying to find a maker’s mark before turning Niño Dios over to the Mexican government.

Huffman says Escher’s story is just one example of the countless efforts of his staff “every day, out of the limelight, unheralded — but these are the kinds of Continued on next page »

base hits and occasional homeruns my district staff delivers for people.”

The congressman also praises the role of the antiquities program, saying he’s “glad that that expertise is there and that you have people like special agent Keller, who has spent his career repatriating antiquities.”

Just in the last six months, the Homeland Security program helped return three ancient statues to Lebanon and Roman relics to Italy, including ancient mosaic flooring that dates back to 35 A.D., part of an opulent ship that once belonged to the Emperor Caligula.

According to the department, more than 8,000 artifacts have been returned to 30 countries since 2007.

“Homeland Security Investigations is working with our colleagues and counterparts in Mexico to determine the rightful owner of this statue,” Ryan L. Spradlin, special agent in charge for the Northern California and Northern Nevada field office for HSI, writes in a brief email response to the Journal, which came after more than a week of inquiries to fnd out more about the statue’s journey, including phone call and email exchanges with eight diffent people from Washington, D.C., to San Francisco. “These types of investigations take time but it’s worth it in the end to ensure the U.S. does its part to

honor a country’s history and irreplaceable artifacts.”

Huffman also commended Escher for her efforts, saying she has shown a “generosity of spirit that is uncommon.”

Considering Niño Dios has been in her family for more than a century, Escher says she has no reason to believe he’s not 200 years old. While ready to see him sent back to the town her family once called home, she admits that moment of letting go was not without a tinge of sadness.

“You don’t say goodbye to someone you’ve lived with for 46 years without a tear in the eye,” Escher says, “but it was a great relief to turn over responsibility to trustworthy hands and now he is on his way back to where he belongs.”

Hearing that the Mexican Consulate in San Francisco might hold a ceremony once the process is completed, Escher says she’d consider attending for a final farewell. Her friend, she says, is also trying to convince her to make the 2,000-mile trip to Guanajuato once Niño Dios’ journey is complete.

“So who knows,” Escher says with a grin, “we might.” l

April’s Hum Plate roundup

Cultured Cuisine

Party in a crepe As you circle the hors d’oeuvre tables and snatch deviled eggs and skewered shrimp from passing servers at parties and openings, spare a thought for our introverted friends missing the spread. Even for the most outgoing among us, there are some people whose company is a high price to pay for a well-laid cheese platter.

But will those for whom social interaction is truly uncomfortable ever know the joy of the first swipe of crostini through a chafing dish of hot artichoke dip?

A solution presents itself at Renata’s Creperie (1030 G St.), that longtime Arcata brunch staple. It’s not so crowded just off a weekday lunch hour, and the interior, with its warm color palette and distressed furniture, welcomes like the home of an old friend/art teacher. Find a homey corner table among the punched tin hearts and sunset-colored walls, and order the Got Yer Goat crepe ($11). The batter is a nutty buckwheat — that glamorous whole grain of caviar blini fame — that stands up to strong flavors and fillings, like the tart Kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes and marinated artichoke hearts within. Add the mild fresh basil, an even-handed measure of Loleta jack cheese and the creamy tang of goat cheese, and you’ve got the makings of a casual get together without

the mingling. You can even order it to carry out and enjoy the party in blissful solitude.

Glamping Going for woodland chic in Humboldt risks redundancy but the vibe at Campground (865 Ninth St., Arcata), the landlocked cousin of Salt, is a bit more Swedish cabin hotel, with its deconstructed forest of birch stalks separating the bar from the tables and the homey blue and white tile flooring. Blackout curtains obscure the Bret Harte Alley view from booths with caged lightbulbs suspended from ropes in rustic imitation of something your grandpa hooked up in the basement. The redwood tattoo on the forearm of the young man prepping vegetables over the back counter is probably just a coincidence, but it’s on brand.

A glass fridge stocked with aged beef in the corner is promising, as is the fire in the back of the open kitchen, crackling and spitting embers up through the grill, a stack of firewood on deck below. Billed as an “Argentine-inspired steakhouse,” the fire is the star of the show. What to order from the all à la carte menu?

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and All Week

By Collin Yeo

M

y roommate has been reading Macbeth all week, which sparked a discussion about our favorite Shakespeare plays, quotes and characters. While his is currently the titular power-hungry Scotsman and the “tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow” soliloquoy appears to have all the quotes he needs to satisfy, I am not so easy to satisfy anymore. Sometimes I feel like a fine fool, like Falstaff from the Henry histories or Dogberry the gross constable from Much Ado About Nothing. Sometimes I think a tragic figure like Othello or Hamlet fits my mood, although, if I am honest, I admit — thankfully — I am not important enough to warrant my own tragic play. I am never a lover like Benedict — the stars aren’t in it for me, I’m afraid, and although I would love to be a trickster like Robin Goodfellow/Puck, I lack the shifty genius and commitment to fun and wickedness. And a favorite play is impossible, although A Midsummer Night’s Dream or The Tempest seem as good as it gets. However, with so many great shows to report on this week I can tell you that my quote of the moment comes from Hamlet’s Polonius: “Brevity is the soul of wit.”

Thursday There’s a grab-bag show of beat-based genres at The Jam tonight as pioneering leftfield Los Angeles rapper Aceyalone and DJ Az. Redsmoke is joined by a group of artists spanning afrobeat to neo

soul and dub at 9 p.m (price TBA). Also gracing the stage will be AfriCali, J Ross Parrelli, CBaker and Eva Rhyme.

Meanwhile, over in beautiful Blue Lake at the same hour, Portland’s best country and western bar band Jenny Don’t and The Spurs will be playing a free show at the lovely Logger Bar.

Friday There’s a free show at the gazebo in Old Town today at 4 p.m. with soul and dubsters New Traditions sharing the bricks with Arcata’s dayglo-polished pop group Paradise Inc. Later on at 7 p.m. at the Outer Space, you can check out a Bay Area bedroom folk/electro/lo-fi blend as Oakland’s Wizard Apprentice rolls through town with Julius Smack. Local support is provided by rapper SIRI and comma comma, which plays ecstatic orchestral repetitions in the (near) dark ($6).

Finally, tonight at 8 p.m. up at the Van Duzer Theatre, you will find Chico’s own pioneering “California-sound” jam band The Mother Hips ripping it up like it’s 1995 ($36).

Saturday Speaking of the mid-’90s, The Mateel hosts one of the decade’s more influential acts this evening as The Crystal Method raises the roof with its era-defining electronica at 8 p.m. ($27). With a sound that is at once iconic but nonetheless groundbreaking in its time, this big-beat Las Vegas duo spanned every

medium from dance floors to movies to video games. Catch them and your former self tonight.

Up at The Arcata Veteran’s Hall at the same time the fantastic nonprofit EPIC is hosting its Forest Prom, an all-ages event that mimics that ancient high school social event but without the horror of a teens-only audience, and for a good cause to boot. There will be dancing to music provided by DJ East One and funk closers The Apiary and adult beverages available for those of age ($20, $15 students).

HIRS, the Philadelphia queercore collective on Get Better Records enjoys a rotating cast of supporting characters, from Garbage’s Shirley Manson to Laura Jane Grace from Against Me! Tonight, HIRS appears at the Outer Space at 7 p.m. as a duo without the famous faces but with no less of the power, fury and fun, the hallmark of its punk-derived sound.

Joining them will be Olympia’s punk rock act Escort and local ragers The Cissies, who haven’t put on a bad show yet ($6).

Sunday

Wednesday

Two very different shows are available for your enjoyment at 8 p.m. tonight.

Great Britain’s hardcore veterans Antisect play the Siren’s Song with local support from Dullahan, The ChainLinks and, in its debut performance, DëathWaivëR ($8).

Over at Humboldt State University’s Kate Buchanan Room, world-class Cuban percussionist, studio ace and live dynamo Pedrito Martinez brings his whip-smart group to the stage for a rollicking night of hot Cuban dance music ($39). Who are you to resist?

Monday The Miniplex hosts another band from the faraway land of Japan tonight, as stutter-start avant blues and prog trio Loolowingen & The Far East Idiots bounces on the ghost notes and staggers over the off-beats tonight at 8:30 p.m. (price TBA).

Tuesday

Local roots rockers Doug Fir & 2x4s play this iteration of the Mad River Brewery’s Pint for Nonprofits. Join the fun at 6 p.m. and ride your bike there if you like, as the featured nonprofit today is the Redwood Coast Mountain Bike Association (free). l Full show listings in the Journal’s Music and More grid, the Calendar and online.

Set your lasers to fun. Hard-core fans and newbies alike will be wishing they were here when House of Floyd rocks the Eureka Theater, Saturday, April 28 at 8 p.m. ($30, $25 advance).

On April 29, from 1 to 4 p.m., lovers of the popular and enduring canned meat product SPAM gather in Redwood Fields in Cutten for a day of nitrate worship, live music and libations. Clear your calendar (and your notions about the palatability of something pink and slimy) and get your ticket to the ninth annual Spamley Cup Cook-off ($10, kids 12 and under free).

More than 15 teams will compete this year in the salty competition hoping to slay by serving up their best SPAM-incorporated dishes. Think sushi, “spalamari,” tamales, enchiladas, pizza, crudités and more because that’s what these backyard and pro chefs are serving up. Entries are judged on amount of SPAM used, presentation, creativity and taste, with the winners taking home a cash prize and the esteemed Perpetual Spamley Cup Trophy. The creativity extends not only to the food creations but team attire, theme and promotion. And you can take part in judging by helping decide who wins the prized People’s Choice Award. Chef teams include Surfside Burger Shack, Oberon Grill, Mazzotti’s, Humboldt Bay Provisions and Six Rivers Brewery. In addition to the tasty SPAM snacks (and a vegetarian booth), beer, wine, cider and Kombucha, the event has a raffle, silent auction, live music by The Bored Again and Plum Uglies, and kid-friendly games, all benefitting Humboldt CASA. Don’t miss out on the fun. Rain or shine.

Despite what the weather does this weekend, you can bet your Bachata things will be caliente in the Creamery District. Humboldt’s first ever Latin Dance Festival gets underway April 27-29 at Redwood Raks World Dance Studio. Brought to you by Humboldt Latin Dance Collective, the festival offers a variety of workshops in salsa, Bachata, Zouk and Cuban dances taught by some of the San Francisco Bay Area’s finest Latin dance instructors, plus pros from Sacramento and local experts, too.

The event kicks off Friday, April 27 with a “meet and greet the pros” dance party featuring music by DJs Pachanguero and EastOne starting at 7 p.m. ($7). Then on Saturday, April 28, choose from a number of beginning and intermediate workshops and then click up your heels later at the two-room DJ dance party at 8 p.m. ($10). Sunday, April 29 offers more workshops with the pros. And throughout the festival, you’ll have a chance to fuel yourself with drinks and food on site and local vendor wares.

Pick up an all-access pass online for $100 (or $105 at the door) to get into all the regular workshops and parties, a Saturday-only pass for $60 that includes workshops and party or pay $12 to drop-in on any of the workshops. Tickets available at www.humboldtsalsa. ticketspice.com/humboldt-latin-dance-festival.

Stupid Funny

The return of Troopers and the trials of Schumer

By John J. Bennett

filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

SUPER TROOPERS 2. Back when Super Troopers (2001) came out on DVD, I’m sure I walked past the box dozens of times while wandering the aisles of the video store (it’s a kind of reliquary for arcane media, where one can borrow said media, for a nominal fee). But I had dismissed it as a bro-centric — we were just learning what that meant, all those years ago — cop comedy with aspirations to exploitation.

More on that later.

But when some glimmer of optimism or semi-mystical combination of psychotropic compounds finally made me stop and look, I noticed the tagline — a marvel of rhetorical efficiency. Below an upside-down image of the cast, in costume, mustachioed, it simply read: “Altered State Police.” It was a kind of “you had me at hello” moment, except it wasn’t maudlin and sucky.

So began a fascination with the work of the Broken Lizard comedy troupe (Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter and Erik Stolhanske) that, after the half-surprising success of Super Troopers 2, I now know I share with a great number of people. The troupe came together at a fraternity at a northeastern university — troubling facts that I choose to ignore. They made their first movie, Puddle Cruiser (1996), shortly thereafter, though it wouldn’t see wide release until almost a decade later.

They followed the kinda-sorta success of Super Troopers with Club Dread (2004), a tropical slasher comedy I find hilarious, brilliant and even a little scary, but which is widely reviled. Then came Beerfest (2006), a throwback underdog sports story about a secretive international drinking contest.

The Slammin’ Salmon (2009) sets the action behind the scenes at a fancy restaurant and is the only one in the bunch that doesn’t really work for me.

In the intervening years, solo projects, Guild strikes and studio politics slowed Broken Lizard’s collective output. Chandrasekhar, the group’s primary director

(Heffernan stepped in for Salmon), has enjoyed the most continued, high-profile success, directing a great number of TV When you’re the only one at karaoke who loves Taylor Swift’s Earth Wind and Fire cover. episodes.

Legal Notices NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF Brenda L. Basler, aka Brenda Lee Basler CASE NO. PR180085 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Brenda L. Basler, aka Brenda Lee Basler A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Petitioner Robert Basler In the Superior Court of California, County of Humboldt. The petition for probate requests that Robert Basler be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

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 May 3, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. at the Superior Court of California, County of Humboldt, 825 Fifth Street, Eureka, in Dept.: 6.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objec− tions 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 dece− dent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the Cali− fornia Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in Cali− fornia law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person inter− ested 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.

Eskra be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

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 May 3, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. at the Superior Court of California, County of Humboldt, 825 Fifth Street, Eureka, in Dept.: 6.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objec− tions 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 dece− dent, you must file your claim with

County of Humboldt, 825 Fifth Street, Eureka, in Dept.: 6.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objec− tions 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 dece− dent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the Cali− fornia Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in Cali− fornia law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person inter− ested 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.

By Anthony Westkamper humbug@northcoastjournal.com

I

t was cool and windy when my friend and I went for a walk at the Humboldt Bay Wildlife Refuge. Large flocks of geese attested to the success of conservation efforts over recent decades.

Egrets, grebes, ducks of several species, mud hens and one of my all-time favorite song birds, bi-colored blackbirds, put in appearances.

Along the way, I noted a small, shiny green beetle scurry across the path in front of us. Of course, I had to stop and get a better look and snap a picture. It was a ground beetle unlike any I’d seen before. At home I couldn’t find it in any of my beetle ID books. I sent a photo to www.BugGuide. net and got a prompt response that this was a beetle of the genus Poecilus. I haven’t been able to find much information on them, so I assume they are either poorly known or their history is pretty much that of other ground beetles. Most likely it is an under-the-rocks predator.

Like many photographers, I suffer from gadget-itis and I’d just scratched the itch by buying a StackRail — a computer-controlled, motorized, camera-positioning device that advances the camera between exposures. Taking a great many photos at slightly different distances allows a computer program to “stack” the images into a single photo in which the entire length of the subject can be in focus. As my first subject, I chose a golden bupesprid beetle from my 30-year-old collection. The one photo represents 133 two-second-long exposures spaced along the subject’s ¾-inch length.

My second attempt was a tick, reminding everyone that they’re out now, waiting on blades of grass to attach themselves first to your clothes and then to you.

In-flight photos

Capturing photos of tiny insects is hard enough. They move and wander off the set. They’re so high contrast they can cause exposure control to go whacky. They are so small that auto-focus often selects the background. If all that weren’t enough, add motion — photos of insects on the wing are tricky. F stops need to be deep to counter the critters’ moving in and out

of focus, and ISO has to be slow to keep graininess to a minimum. Both of which make for long exposures, which make for blurry photos. Forced flash can be used to stop motion. It is a balancing act in real time.

There is a large dose of luck involved, but familiarity with a critter’s behavior helps.

Hover flies do indeed hover, sometimes giving the photographer time to manually focus on them if you can find them in the viewfinder. If you catch one illuminated by a shaft of light against a dark background, the photo can work.

Some species of dragonfly patrol along a specific route. Spend a little time watching and you may be able to position yourself at a choke point, pre-focus there and snap the shot as it passes.

Nectar-sipping insects can be photographed as they approach or leave flowers.

Some butterflies are territorial, giving you the opportunity to catch them as they engage an interloper or potential mate.

It may sound like a fortune cookie slogan but in insect photography, as in so many other things, “Experience allows us to take advantage of luck.” l
