Editor: For those not familiar with Lathe Gill, please refer to the interviews with the Times-Standard as well as the Lost Coast Outpost — you will get a very good sense of who he is and what kind of judge he would make for Humboldt County.

I know of him as a representative for the California Teachers Association and have had professional and personal dealings with him, all very impressive. His logic, common-sense understanding and empathy for all sides of an issue made him an effective consultant during management-employee negotiations, often with successful outcomes for both sides.

I have no doubt that his experience as an employment and labor attorney for 18 years has given him the experience to put him on the bench for judge and help Humboldt County mete out fair justice to all. Vote Lathe Gill for judge!

Rita Carole, McKinleyville

As this water evaporates and becomes clouds, then rain, then rivers...

I will remember that in that water, you are there.

When I see a cloud, I will remember that you are watching over me.

When I stand in the rain, you are surrounding me.

When I swim in a river, you are embracing me.

When I sit beside a stream, you are beside me.

When I see dew on a petal, I see you.

So as I release you to this water, I release you to God. My heart goes with you.

Though I will always remember that wherever there is water, you are there.

Editor: I have worked within the Humboldt County legal community for the past 15 years. During that time, I’ve served twice as president of the Humboldt County Legal Professionals Association (HCLPA). I’ve observed Lawrence Killoran in the courtroom.

I’ve talked with and met with his staff many times over the years. In 15 years of meeting with Humboldt County lawyers, paralegals and court staff through my association with HCLPA, I’ve heard nothing but good things about Lawrence Killoran.

As one of the “little guys” in my capacity of legal assistant, I’ve seen a lot of

lawyers up on their high horses. Lawrence Killoran is not one of those people. His integrity and respect shine through. I trust him to apply the law fairly without bias.

With our diverse community and the social and economic problems we have in Humboldt County, we especially need judges like Lawrence Killoran on the bench.

Liane John, Eureka Editor: I want voters to know that Larry Killoran will further the interests of justice, a civil society and compassion in the Humboldt County Superior Court.

Vote Madrone!

Editor: As a 30-year professional forester concerned about the board of supervisors’ policies on forestry, I support Steve Madrone.

Steve is a professional in natural resource and forestry issues, starting out as a tree planter and pre-commercial thinning

operator, and later as a lead at Redwood Community Action Agency on the Hammond Trail.

Steve can balance competing interests of real estate developers who want to maximize residential development, landowners who want to maintain forest productivity and a community that wants a healthy and accessible natural environment.

Now that the General Plan has made it easier to develop next to streams, we need someone on the board of supervisors who can articulate how to protect downstream water quality and fisheries. I’m confident that Steve will want to promote a sustainable natural resource economy while protecting our most valuable and vulnerable landscapes (for example, the McKinleyville Community Forest). Please join me and vote for Steve Madrone.

Greg Blomstrom, Fieldbrook Editor: Steve Madrone and Ryan Sundberg sparred in Willow Creek over the issue of healthcare, May 2, as follows: Sundberg could not support the Healthy California Act (Senate Bill 562) because he “didn’t have enough information and did not know how it would be funded.” It is known, however, that the board of supervisors received a complete package about the bill last November but was unready to discuss it when it recently came onto their agenda. (See the board in action: https://youtu.be/8qesUqbcYPQ. As for funding, please Google “S.B. 562, Pollin Report” — the only professional assessment of funding done to date.

Funding must be done in the Assembly, but first the bill must be un-shelved to be completed. Our job on the local level is to pressure our legislators to summon the political will to do it.

Madrone supports moving S.B. 562 forward and, unlike his opponent, takes no corporate donations.

Patty Harvey, Willow Creek Editor: Steve Madrone received a master’s degree in watershed management from HSU and has worked with the Mattole Salmon Group (executive director), the Trinidad Bay Watershed Council, the California Urban Creeks Council and the National Network of Forest Practitioners. At Redwood Community Action Agency, as the natural resources director, Steve was instrumental in moving the Hammond Trail forward from concept to reality. Steve brought Continued on next page »

Vote Sundberg!

Editor: I recently attended a town hall meeting between Supervisor Ryan Sundberg and challenger Steven “SunGnome” Madrone in Willow Creek. I was unimpressed by SunGnome blaming Supervisor Sundberg for the hardships of the small cannabis farmer in Humboldt County. As a stakeholder in the development of our local ordinances, I can say that no single person is responsible for the current reality for small cannabis farms. They are struggling because this is a massive industry transformation with many nuanced moving pieces.

SunGnome is either naive, uninformed or strictly reaching for political gain through his very limited understanding of the current cannabis situation. None of these are complementary traits in an elected official.

The surprisingly dramatic contest for auditor-controller

By Linda Stansberry linda@northcoastjournal.com

D

oes slow and steady really win the race? Mike Lorig, an accountant with the Department of Health and Human Services and a contender in this year’s auditor-controller election, certainly hopes so.

Lorig, who ran for the position unsuccessfully in 2010, hopes to edge out Karen Paz Dominguez, a controversial newcomer to county bureaucracy, for the post. Paz Dominguez, the assistant auditor-controller, has been generating headlines since she attended the Nov. 7 Humboldt County Board of Supervisors meeting to speak out during public comment about understaffing and security breaches in the office. After that meeting, which clearly rattled the supervisors and her then-boss, Joseph Mellett, Paz Dominguez launched a fast-moving campaign for the office’s top job.

In the past two months, Paz Dominguez has spoken out about inter-office power struggles, a sexual harassment complaint against Mellett and several breaches of confidential personnel information. (See “Drama at the A/C,” April 12.) She has won the backing of several local progressive organizations, as well as criticism from some supervisors and several employees in her department. Lorig, in contrast, has set forth a more traditional campaign for what’s usually a staid race, doing the media circuit and making pointed remarks about “cooperation” and “teamwork.” In a year when even the smallest of elections are getting a lot of scrutiny, the auditor-controller’s race has arguably become the county’s most dramatic to watch.

So what do they actually stand for and what brought them to the contest? Paz Dominguez graduated from Humboldt State University in 2013 with a bachelor’s degree in business administration and

worked in the local firm Martin, Hutchison & Hohman for three years before joining the county in 2017. She said she was spurred to apply for the assistant auditor-controller position due to her passion for community outreach and her love of puzzles. Auditing, she told the Journal, involves many fun puzzles.

“When I went for the job I didn’t know what state the auditor-controller’s office was in,” Paz Dominguez said. “The auditor-controller’s office is very short staffed.”

In a May 3 candidate forum with Lorig, Paz Dominguez stressed the importance of cross-training employees within the office and also hiring more staff, as well as improving some internal infrastructure to make the department more efficient. The forum, hosted by the League of Women Voters, included questions about training, intra-department collaboration and leadership style.

During the forum, Lorig, who came out of semi-retirement 13 years ago to work for the county Department of Health and Human Services after spending 30 years in the private sector, repeatedly cited the need for “good working relationships” within the office. In a private interview, he said he wasn’t poking at the rumored rifts between Paz Dominguez and the office’s payroll department. Paz Dominguez discussed this in her interview, revealing that she had been the subject of a personnel complaint alleging she was creating a hostile work environment. Three employees of the office also filed a letter of no confidence with the board of supervisors on May 3, alleging Paz Dominguez had fostered an atmosphere of “hostility, resentment and bullying.” The letter, which was leaked to a local blogger the day after it was sent to the board, was later released to local press by the county’s legal office.

In its initial publication, the names of three employees who signed it were included.

The version the county sent out (and later, the online copy) were redacted. The auditor-controller’s office has 13 full-time employees.

In his interview, Lorig, who also works part-time teaching youth to become soccer referees, said he sees a need for better communication in the office.

“To alleviate tension, we can sit down and have a conversation, let them know how you operate,” he said. “I can’t micromanage. that’s not the job.”

Lorig said that the current structure of county government is very siloed, with tasks and communication going up and down the chain of command rather than flowing between departments, which stymies progress. Cross-training and improving communication, he said, would change that. Cross-training would also attract more qualified candidates to the department, he said, as the county could be a “training ground” for candidates who wanted to buff up their resumes before moving to regions with more competitive salaries. Lorig has also advocated for increased transparency from the office and a number of system enhancements.

Paz Dominguez has also called for better communication, especially between the county and the people it represents.

Employees and residents, she said, should have a better idea how their money is being spent.

“I try to think about a family that has been working all their lives to buy a house,” she said. “This is people’s hardearned money. What about a single mom, how would they like it spent?”

Paz Dominguez has won the endorsements of the Humboldt County Central Democratic Committee, the local chapter

Thank you for voting us of the Green Party and the North Coast People’s Alliance, adding during the forum that there are “several staff members” supportive of her bid. Lorig, at the same forum, said he has the support of “many friends from Garberville to Trinidad,” adding that four out of the five sitting supervisors have publicly endorsed him.

Asked about his previous bid for the post, Lorig said his loss to Mellett came down to experience and money. This time, he says, he’s more prepared.

This will be Paz Dominguez’s first attempt at elected office.

“I see this as the perfect opportunity to share my skills for the benefit of the community,” she said in the May 3 forum.

“I believe in transparency. I believe in all the things that the auditor-controller’s office was designed to do. ... I believe this is my calling. I believe in the people. I am ready to be the auditor controller.”

Ultimately county voters will decide the race June 5. The last day to register to vote for the election is May 21.

Opening on the Bench

Two local attorneys vie for Humboldt’s first contested judgeship in decades

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

O

n June 5, Humboldt County will see its first contested judicial election in 20 years, when voters will choose either Lathe Gill or Lawrence Killoran to fill the seat retiring Judge Dale Reinholtsen has held for 21 years.

The election is a crucial one, as judges wield tremendous power over the citizenry of Humboldt County. After all, they marry people and grant divorces, decide child custody disputes and the dispersing of estates. They authorize the seizure of personal property and protect people’s rights and decide when someone’s freedom should be taken away and for how long. And in the most extreme cases, they sentence people to death.

And the election will usher one of the candidates into an exclusive club as just the 33rd superior court judge in Humboldt County’s history. We asked both candidates to answer some questions about criminal justice in Humboldt County, their backgrounds and themselves. Here’s what they had to say.

NCJ: What are the two biggest challenges facing the Humboldt Superior Court System and how do you plan on addressing them as judge?

Lathe Gill: Mental health is a major social issue in our county. It touches everything: schools, property crime, violence, recidivism, homelessness and addiction. We used to have a grant-funded mental health court program.

In 2008, the NCJ reported on the suicide of James Lee Peters, a Yurok man, inside the Humboldt County jail in 2007 (“Nobody’s Fault,” May 15, 2008). It’s a compelling read.

And very little has changed.

Many offenders in our court need mental health services. Our Homeless Court and Probation’s Adult Drug Court are helping.

But being able to get offenders mental health treatment is an urgent community need. Last year, the sheriff asked the state to fund a 52-bed mental health wing in the jail expansion; the state said no.

If we could find money for a mental health court, there would be more options for getting people into treatment outside the jail.

The other challenge is resources. We have eight courtrooms but only six judges.

Delays for civil trials are unacceptably long and court clerk hours are less than most of

our neighboring counties. We need more hours in Hoopa and to re-open in Garberville.

I would advocate for court funding and seek grants and community support for a mental health court.

Lawrence Killoran: I have served in the Humboldt County Courthouse for 17 years.

During that time, I have seen the courtrooms run smoothly and other times disruptions have had large impacts. Currently, two challenges we face are overcrowded courtroom calendars and defendant addiction.

These challenges are the result, in part, of relatively recent laws requiring some defendants to serve felony sentences in local jails under certain conditions. This has resulted in jail overcrowding and the priority release of non-violent inmates. Non-violent repeat offenders, often times addicted, have found a revolving door at the jail. Their multiple arrests are a challenge for our jail, courtrooms and community. Fortunately, there is room for optimism.

For example, for years we have not had enough resources to treat the addicted.

The recently announced plan for a new treatment facility (Aegis) is good news. As a judge, I will address the challenges by using court sentencing options ordering treatment in appropriate cases. Those that show a genuine dedication to treatment will be afforded the opportunity to succeed. The more people successfully treated, the more likely their removal from the criminal justice system — a win/win/win for our jails, courts and community.

NCJ: How would you describe a superior court judge’s role in the local criminal justice system?

Gill: Judges decide whether the police, or the prosecutor, have met the test of probable cause. They consider the defendant’s relationships with the community and history in bail review and sentencing. The court polices the lawyers through motions, discovery and rulings on objections. They instruct the jury on the law, control the questioning and selection of the jury and ensure that defendants understand the pleas they enter.

The most difficult role of a judge in criminal cases is sentencing. Most crimes in California have determinate sentences, meaning that the law provides three different possible sentences. The judge considers aggravating and mitigating factors, and

8 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, May 17, 2018 • northcoastjournal.com

discretionary sentence enhancements. The judge can also grant probation or refer an offender to a collaborative court program (like drug court).

Sentencing is challenging because there are competing interests in every case. Those are: punishment, deterrence of future crime by the offender and by others, treatment and restorative justice, which is a piece of most collaborative court programs and probation. It’s a big responsibility and you want to get it right.

Killoran: A judge’s role in the criminal justice system begins at arraignment, when the defendant pleads either guilty or not guilty. If guilty, the judge can sentence the individual or refer the case to the probation department for a sentencing recommendation. If the defendant pleads not guilty, the judge sets future dates for pretrial or preliminary hearings.

Because plea bargaining is an essential component of our judicial system, we also have something known as intervention hearings. The judge’s role at intervention is critical. Intervention hearings are meetings between the judge, district attorney and defense attorney to see if the case can resolve without preliminary hearing or trial.

These meetings are informal and provide the judge and attorneys an opportunity to openly discuss the strength/weakness of the case and possible outcomes that might include anything from dismissal to probation or incarceration. Failing a plea bargain, the case goes on a trial track and the judge’s role becomes that of umpire, using their experience and knowledge to apply the law to the facts until final resolution of the case.

While performing these essential functions, a judge must also be fair, impartial and unbiased to all parties, and run an efficient courtroom.

NCJ: Why are you the right person to take a seat on the Humboldt County bench?

Gill: I have a background in civil litigation, which is a current need in our court.

When I worked for Service Employees International Union, I was the courts director for Northern California. I got a close-up view of the Administrative Office of the Courts’ bloat and mismanagement, and the struggles courts in every county faced as the state raided court reserves. Our work was multifaceted, dealing with security, interpreters, research attorneys, court reporters, clerks, facilities management, unfair court funding and construction.

I would take responsibility for my priorities — to establish a mental health court and to lobby the state for the resources for an accessible, effective court. The Judicial Council’s own models suggest we are still between 20 and 30 percent underfunded.

Every judge brings values and experiences into the court, which influence the judge’s perspective on witnesses, evidence, fairness and reasonability. My career has been spent

helping people without power get access to justice: people who faced discrimination or retaliation at work, whistleblowers and mom-and-pop businesses. My work with dedicated teachers from Orleans to Redway also gives me a ground-level view of the challenges we face as a community for the next 20 years. I bring vision and experience to the court.

Killoran: I am the right person to take a seat on the Humboldt County bench because I have an extensive knowledge of the law and courtroom procedures. My 17year Humboldt County legal career includes a practice dedicated to criminal law and family law with experience in guardianship, adoption, adult conservatorship, domestic violence restraining orders, civil harassment restraining orders and juvenile law.

In my practice, I have appeared in every courtroom of the courthouse. In addition, I am a strong advocate for my clients and I have a reputation for fairness. I also feel that the right person to serve on the bench should have a strong connection to the community where they will be making their judgments. I have that connection. For example, I have served the community as a volunteer with Legal Services of Northern California in Eureka for 13 years, providing free legal advice to financially challenged clients. As a husband, father, 10-year Mad River Youth Soccer League volunteer soccer coach and active community member, I am committed to Humboldt County.

My diverse and extensive courtroom legal experience combined with my profound connection to our community make me the right person to be the next Humboldt County Superior Court judge.

The last day to register to vote in the June 5 election is May 21. For more information on the candidates, visit their webpages at www. gill4judge.com and www.lawrencekilloranforjudge.com. Watch a May 8 forum with both candidates at www.pbsnorthcoast.org.

Police: Slain Fortuna Woman Intervened to Stop Kidnapping

A

Fortuna woman who was killed May 6 was shot while trying to stop Ronald Allen Crossland, a convicted felon with a long criminal history that included domestic violence, from kidnapping another woman, according to police.

According to a brief follow-up statement from the Eureka Police Department, Sharral “Sherry” McDonald had “no prior association” with Crossland and met him through the second woman, who was unharmed. She has not been named and EPD public information officer Brittany Powell has not responded to requests to clarify her relationship to Crossland, though court records indicate the two had been dating.

A GoFundMe account has been set up to raise money for McDonald’s memorial service and to help her family. The 60-year-old Fortuna High School graduate leaves behind a husband, three children and five grandchildren.

“Sherry worked constantly and was always there to help someone in need,” the posting reads. “Sherry was the type of person who always did whatever she could to help someone and was a kind, giving soul. Help us honor her memory by coming together for her family to raise money for funeral expenses and other financial hardships that her family should not have to endure in the wake of their tragic loss.”

Donald with a single gunshot wound to the head at a residence in Fortuna Trailer Village, had an extensive criminal record that included several stints in prison, according to state corrections officials and local law enforcement.

Fortuna Police Chief William Dobberstein said Crossland was believed to be acquainted with people who lived at the park and an officer “was just one trailer away when the gunshot was heard.”

While the department does not have a Fortuna address on record for Crossland, Dobberstein said he had been contacted by officers 36 times since 2013 and was arrested in the city 14 times in the same time span.

Crossland was picked up on a variety of charges, including shoplifting, drunk in public, vandalism, disturbing the peace for breaking windows and violation of a domestic violence restraining order, according to the police chief.

“He’s got a long history and he’s got a lot of arrests,” Dobberstein said, adding that on his last FPD contact Crossland was listed as “transient.”

Powell declined to release any information on Crossland’s previous contacts with EPD, which include being detained at gunpoint in August of 2014 while allegedly driving a stolen car, according to news reports.

At the time, Crossland was arrested on suspicion of being in possession of stolen property, DUI, driving on a suspended license and probation violation.

Week in Weed

The Rich Get Richer

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

I

t’s no secret Humboldt County has many, many of cannabis farms. It’s also no secret that the vast majority of them — between 80 and 90 percent by most estimates — have taken no steps to come into compliance with state or local laws.

Not only does this mean that there are upwards of 10,000 farms spread across Humboldt County that may be dewatering streams and illegally cutting roads, imperiling endangered salmonids and killing protected critters with indiscriminate rodenticide use, it also means legal markets are being undercut by shady growers who, by crude estimates, combine to produce almost as much cannabis (2.1 million pounds) as the state consumes (2.5 million pounds).

And local officials — from the sheriff to county code enforcement — have bemoaned a lack of resources needed to aggressively weed out rogue farms. So it would seem that Gov. Jerry Brown’s May 11 proposal to pour $14 million into the attorney general’s budget to “target illegal cannabis activity” and reduce “environmental and other crimes associated with the illegal cannabis market” would be great news, right? Not so fast.

Brown’s proposal calls for the formation of five investigative teams to carry out complex investigations. The catch is none of those teams will be located near the Emerald Triangle, which has historically produced more cannabis than any other region in the country. Instead, Brown is pitching putting teams in Los Angeles, Sacramento, Fresno and San Diego, with another team focused on interdiction also in the state capital.

Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal said Brown’s proposal is dissapointing on multiple levels.

“This is what’s frustrating, the fact is that they’re pouring more money into areas where the economy has been rich for years,” he said. “There’s already resources in those areas to put into these types of efforts. Send money where the actual problem is, where you have 13,000 illegal grows and you struggle to find five deputies to go after them.”

Honsal also questioned the wisdom of forming new investigative teams rather than spending the proposed $14 million on supplementing existing drug task forces and cannabis enforcement units with additional resources, like crime analysts and personnel with the expertise to build

complex financial and environmental cases.

Honsal said there is a “tremendous amount of pressure” on his cannabis unit to “build enforceable cases but also to go out and cut down plants.” Both of these endeavors are incredibly time consuming, Honsal said. In addition to the labor-intensive efforts of simply eradicating gardens with thousands of cannabis plants, working up the investigative ladder to go after the people truly responsible for illicit grows and hold them legally accountable is a slog that requires a lot of investigation and, often, forensic accounting.

“These cases are very, very complex and we’ve been asking for additional resources for years from the federal government and the state to assist us with these and we haven’t seen it,” he said.

North Coast Assemblymember Jim Wood said in a statement that he’s encouraged by Brown’s commitment to throw resources at combating the illicit cannabis industry, which would in turn help those businesses looking to comply with state and local regulations. But he noted the absence in the proposal of any teams in the north end of the state.

“I recognize that this is a statewide problem, but the Emerald Triangle has been the epicenter of the cannabis industry and I would have preferred that a team be focused in our area to help support the many legitimate cannabis businesses here,” he said.

Meanwhile, the tax revenue from legal recreational cannabis sales — which totaled $33 million through the first quarter — that has been earmarked for public safety programs and environmental cleanups of old cannabis sites will not be available until 2019.

For his part, Honsal said it can be hard to square the budget situation in Sacramento — where Brown reported a projected surplus of nearly $9 billion — to the facts on the ground in Humboldt, Mendocino, Del Norte, Trinity and Siskiyou counties, where local agencies are stretched to deal with entrenched and growing problems, from cannabis to jail overcrowding.

“We’re all struggling and the state is just flush with money,” he said. l

What 10 years of necropsy reports tell us about life and death at the Sequoia Park Zoo.

By Linda Stansberry Illustrations by Jacqui Langeland

M

onty” was not feeling well. The 17-year-old male Pygora goat’s osteoarthritis had stopped responding to medication.

In the extreme upper age range for his species, which usually lives to 14, the ram was in otherwise good health, with the veterinarian reporting his skin, heart and urinary system were all normal.

But due to his chronic pain, staff feared the elderly goat was no longer enjoying his environs at the Sequoia Park Zoo Barnyard.

Determining that his quality of life had substantially deteriorated, on Dec. 19, 2017, staff made the decision to euthanize him.

He was then put into a freezer to await a necropsy by local veterinarian Kevin Silver.

The end of Monty’s life doesn’t tell us much about his contribution to our own lives, about the joy he may have given local children when they got to scratch behind his ears or felt him nuzzle their hands in search of treats. But his necropsy and those of the 110 other zoo animals reviewed for this story do illustrate a small and poignant piece of their histories and reveal aspects of zoo life we rarely think about. Between 2008 and 2018, roughly 252 animals at the Sequoia Park Zoo

ceased crawling, buzzing, jumping, leaping or flying.

Most shuffled off life’s mortal coil at a respectable age but others suffered the consequences of violence, lust and folly.

These are some of their stories.

House Mouse Reigns But Briefly The lives of the house mice, mus musculus, who rustle about in the zoo’s barnyard, are instructive in their brevity. The house mouse rarely lives longer than three years, even when shielded from predators. To curb the species’ notorious fecundity, the zoo maintains the mice as a single-sex colony, with five to 10 of the critters living communally at any given time. Of all the creatures, the mouse population suffers the most losses in proportion to its numbers, with as many as half of them dying each year. Most mice near the end of their lives with visible tumors, which allows the zoo staff to bypass the normally mandated necropsy that, according to the zoo’s accreditation standards, is required for all species of animal that die at the zoo, with the exception of most invertebrates or “in

certain cases where the cause of death is obvious or reasonably well known, such as fish stranding or extreme old age.”

The Domestic, the Exotic, the Geriatric As with Monty the goat, most of the zoo’s animals pass at an advanced age, usually after intense observation by zoo staff who try to discern whether the pain of living has outweighed its joys. Consider the case of “Hufflepuff” the Angora rabbit, a former “animal ambassador” who once greeted guests at zoo fundraisers. In October of 2011, after observing Hufflepuff’s discomfort due to arthritis, her emaciation and occasional bouts with diarrhea, staff decided to euthanize her. The subsequent necropsy revealed a tumor in Hufflepuff’s guts, with the veterinarian noting her “extreme advanced age.”

Gretchen Ziegler, the zoo’s director, says the animal population cycles through seasons of geriatric and dying animals.

Because animals are often acquired in batches or breeding pairs, this can mean that death comes as a season for some species, such as the spider monkeys “Crazy,” “Toothless” and “Junior,” who died in 2008, 2009 and 2013, respectively. Crazy, a 40-year-old female, was euthanized after an exam showed an “extremely poor prognosis” for the venerable primate. The subsequent necropsy

revealed several tumors and a necrotic colon. Her companion Toothless was euthanized six months later after also suffering the effects of carcinoma.

The death of Junior, the male in the band, came two years later. He died at the age of 43, after several weeks of depression and lethargy along with bouts of diarrhea. The staff treated him for dehydration and parasites. On the morning of his death, Dec. 9, 2013, he was “sitting out in the enclosure … vocalizing strangely.” He was anesthetized so the veterinarian could run diagnostic tests, then brought to a warm room with blankets and a heater to recover. He died at 10 p.m. Tests of his blood and tissues, sent to an out-of-state laboratory, confirmed leukemia.

An anonymous complaint submitted to the zoo on Sept. 18, 2014, references Junior’s death. The complaint shows extensive knowledge of the primate enclosure.

“Low nighttime temperature is the probable cause of the zoo’s most recent spider monkey death,” the complaint states, alleging that the bedding and heating systems were insufficient for the primates, who are acclimatized to an equatorial temperature. The complainant alleged that the enclosures should have padded, heated sleeping areas and that the Sequoia Park Zoo has only a “board platform” and relied on inadequate space heaters.

A response issued two months later by the city’s Animal Welfare Committee said staff have been instructed to maintain the nighttime temperature in the enclosure between 65 and 78 degrees, well above the United States Department of Agriculture and Assocation of Zoos and Aquariums’ minimum guidelines. The committee does acknowledge that the spider monkeys’ floor heater had failed several years before and was replaced by a mobile radiant wall heater. On two occasions in 2013, that heater did not keep the enclosure warm enough due to extreme temperatures and human error. In regard to the bedding issue, the response states that the keepers had tried to introduce bedding but

the animals avoided it, and “are somewhat nervous of changes to the night houses.”

The staff did agree to buy a new heater and introduce new bedding materials.

“Whether they will be accepted will be left to the discretion of the spider monkeys,” the report says.

The report roundly rejected the idea that Junior’s death was attributable to temperature, referring back to the necropsy. Junior was a very old monkey; his species lives to about 22 in the wild, 30 in captivity. Ziegler says the loss of Junior, the longtime patriarch of the troupe, was very hard on the surviving spider monkeys, “Jake” and “Candy.”

“It is always hard for social animals to lose their companions, primates in particular,” Ziegler told the Journal in an email. “If possible we try to allow the survivors to see their deceased exhibit mate’s body for a time instead of whisking it away.”

Ziegler added that because spider monkeys are critically endangered in the wild and increasingly rare in zoos, when Candy (now 46) passes, the zoo will probably find a bachelor group at another location for Jake instead of getting more of his kind.

No Backbone, Still Noted In 2010, death rocked the zoo’s banana slug population. While the exhibit suffers routine single-dgit losses of the small, slimy redwood forest natives, that year saw 14 die. Ziegler said this might be attributable to a mite infestation. To be certain, staff did a “complete overhaul” of the exhibit materials. Those deaths, too, might be “coincidentally age related,” but as “their bodies decay so quickly after death … necropsies are rarely feasible.”

Not so with three of the zoo’s tarantulas, which died between 2010 and 2014.

The causes of death in all three, according to the veterinarian, could not be determined. Little information was included in the necropsies, other than that their deaths were not associated with molting.

At least one death — that of a 20-yearold Chilean rose tarantula — was assumed to be age-related. Some species of tarantula can live to be 40, something to remember the next time one goes missing in your home or business.

A time lapse between the date of passing and necropsy of several opossums under the zoo’s care, “Oliver,” “Petunia,” “Fletch” and “Cotton” among them, caught our attention. Fletch, a male opossum, was necropsied three months after his death in January of 2010, and posthumously diagnosed with heart failure, the veterinarian noting “considerable fat around musculature and organs.” According to Ziegler, opossums are a short-lived species that are “fantastic for educational purposes.”

They usually die at around 2 years, which is tough for zoo staff, who Ziegler says “try not to bond with them” but often fail.

Ziegler says whether an animal is frozen pending necropsy often depends on a veterinarian’s schedule but it’s not ideal.

The zoo has a carcass freezer on hand for animals that must wait for examination but it’s preferred a corpse be kept “chilled” instead of frozen. Two opossums, including Oliver, appear to have been frozen for a couple of years; necropsy reports for both show a 2008 death date and 2010 examination at the Humboldt State Wildlife Diseases laboratory.

Birth Has Its Own Perils In July of 2014, the county welcomed “Cini” and “Masala,” twin red panda cubs whose names mean “sugar and spice” in Hindi. Unmentioned in the city’s merry “Panda-monium” press release about the zoo births was a third cub, whose presence keepers observed on the camera monitor but which apparently died at the tender age of 4 days, either of natural causes or suffocation. Ziegler says pandas can be “clumsy at times,” but policy is to

observe and not interfere. The mother, “Stella Luna,” ate her dead young, which is “natural, nest-cleaning behavior.”

“She’s such a good mom,” Ziegler boasts.

Dead cavy kits also appear on the rolls, including three found in the exhibit during morning rounds on July 10, 2013.

The kits were the result of an “unknown pregnancy” and appeared in “good body condition,” with the necropsy revealing little to indicate cause of death, aside from probable maternal neglect. The cavy females were subsequently put on birth control to prevent further surprises.

Birds Live Lives of Danger, and Die Deaths of Infamy The avian species seem to be the only group to suffer disproportionately from crimes of violence. Ziegler says wounded birds are evolved to hide when they’re not feeling well, meaning they might be discovered after they have passed away from their wounds. Most appear to be victims of bird-on-bird violence, such as a frizzle bantam chicken found between the barnyard’s trough and outbuilding in April of 2008 with a deep cut over its lower back, suspected to have been the target of flock aggression. A blackheaded grosbeak was found to have drowned during a morning check of the aviary, with the vet noting lacerations of its hip and tail. “Unknown if what caused lacerations caused it to fall into the pond,” the report states.

Still, most avian death seems attributable to the same sources as other species: old age and birth. Impacted eggs, chicks that don’t thrive, heart disease and cancer

all appear as diagnoses. The deaths of birds, from “Sterling” the 45-year-old parrot to “Suzie” the 6-year-old Sussex hen, are all carefully investigated. Most are sent to the University of California at Davis for a complete examination to rule out contagious avian diseases. Barnyard chickens in particular have a lot of contact with humans.

One to five chicken necropsies are performed each year, costing taxpayers around $100 per bird, a modest fee to prevent the spread of bird flu. Junior’s examination cost $510, which Ziegler says is around the upper end of the cost spectrum for necropsies.

Bearing the News At the beginning of its life, the Sequoia Park Zoo — the oldest in the state ­­— was more of an exotic animal spectacle than an educational facility. Its original zookeeper, Charles Kreps, was a former homesteader hired because of his familiarity with livestock. At one time zookeepers accepted all species of exotic animal (the Lions Club, for example, donated two lions in 1910) and put them in bare cages. Many animals that were exhibited then without consideration of proper husbandry would never appear at the zoo today.

In 1982, Eureka City Manager Robert Stockwell and Parks and Recreation Director Ben Adan made the controversial decision to euthanize two adult bears and rehome their cubs as they allegedly could not afford to move the bears while their habitat was being rebuilt. The cost of the new habitat was $25,000. The cost to ship the adult bears to a wildlife park would have been $600. The public was understandably upset. Picket signs sprouted outside the zoo and Adan was hounded from his home and position by gunshots, obscene phone calls and other threats.

People magazine, from which we got many of the details about the death of the two bears, called the incident “America’s most notorious ursicide.”

circus act, had been a fixture since 1957 and would be the Sequoia Park Zoo’s last chimp. Like the lions, the camel named “Miss Eureka” and several other exotic animals the zoo accepted before standards changed, zoo caretakers helped Bill finish his life in the place he had learned to call home, but the idea of replacing him was out of the question.

What to do with animals’ remains once they pass is, according to Ziegler, a “real conundrum.” Some are buried, some cremated. The zoo often gets inquiries from scientists asking for remains to use in studies. Bill’s remains went to a university for this purpose but because of his iconic status, Ziegler had asked that any cremated remains after the study be sent back to Eureka, where they were buried in a memorial exhibit called Bill’s Garden.

People also gathered to mourn “Rosemary,” a 29-year-old black bear born in captivity and euthanized in 2012 after several years of poor health. Rosemary was one of the cubs temporarily rehomed in Oregon during the infamous 1982 bear scandal. She returned to the newly built exhibit with her sister “Maxine,” who passed in 2006. The elderly bear, her muzzle gray with age, had been partially paralyzed for several years due to spinal problems but, despite the fact that she was often tired and dragged her back legs around the exhibit, seemed to enjoy her food and derive more joy than pain from life. But when she grew progressively weaker and her kidneys began to fail, staff summoned people to say goodbye. Many left flowers and remembrances at the exhibit, including an illustration drawn by a young girl that Ziegler keeps across from the desk in her office. Rosemary was euthanized Dec. 28, 2012.

Ziegler says after Rosemary’s death the zoo opted not to get another bear, instead turning the grotto into habitat for a pair of South American bushdogs, two brothers that were bred in captivity at the Palm Beach Zoo. The unique canid species requires less space than bears and was recently joined by a female the zoo acquired from Europe. Bushdog babies may soon be the next Panda-monium. We wish all involved good health. l

“AMERICA’S MOST NOTORIOUS URSICIDE.”

Goodbye Ursa, Hello Canid Just as bonded animals may need avenues to grieve, the zoo’s current staff also try to find a way to help humans say goodbye.

When Bill the Chimp, a beloved member of the Sequoia Park Zoo family, passed in June of 2007, the community mourned.

What is going on with the beer at Oyster Fest?

By Linda Stansberry linda@northcoastjournal.com

T

he Arcata Bay Oyster Festival, a notoriously big and boozy annual celebration of all things bivalve, has been the subject of a rumor mill in the hops-and-barley set lately. Several local brewery owners told the Journal that the event — which in the past has seen its organizers dogged by controversy about their choices to fence the plaza or charge admission — will not feature any local beer this year and is instead going with out-of-town corporate brewer Lagunitas.

Arcata Main Street Executive Director Jeanette Todd soundly rejects this rumor, saying that local brewery Redwood Curtain Brewing Co. and Crescent City-based Sea Quake Brewing will both be pouring, not Lagunitas. But things are tense, largely due to a March meeting between Todd and several local brewery owners, a meeting from which participants came away with widely different perceptions.

In Todd’s version of events, the festival — scheduled for June 16 — looked to tighten its belt and reduce the wait time in lines this year. Rather than pay for beer, organizers decided to hit up all of the usual participating breweries for donations and to only request one or two varieties of beer from each. That, Todd says, would make the line shorter as drinkers would have fewer choices on the menu board.

(The line has, apparently, been known to take an hour to get through.) The festival’s beverage committee stopped off first at Lost Coast Brewery, making a handshake deal for a 50-keg donation, according to Todd. The committee had with it a list of possible donors that included Lagunitas, although Todd says she didn’t plan to ask the Heineken-owned brewer for donations.

When news of the donation drive and the list hit the brewery party line, Todd received a call from Meredith Maier, owner of Six Rivers Brewery. Todd says Maier said the organizers should go to the breweries as a group, instead of doing individual asks.

Todd said they would stick to their plan.

Their next stop was Mad River Brewing Co. But when committee members arrived for

16 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, May 17, 2018 • northcoastjournal.com

what they thought would be a one-onone meeting, they instead found a crowded table with representatives from all the different breweries, angry and demanding answers.

“They said, ‘We’ve decided you’re going to talk to all of us or you’re going to talk to none of us,” Todd says, describing the atmosphere as “tense” and “bullying.”

The breweries allegedly wanted a version of their previous deal with the organizers, which was a combination of donation and purchase. Maier says her brewery offered a one-for-one deal, meaning they would donate one keg for every one purchased by the festival. Todd, speaking about all of the breweries, says that in past events very little was donated and the festival spent $25,000 on beer last year, with 140 kegs purchased and only 10 donated.

Todd’s version of events describes the outcome as a cabal of brewers shutting the festival out.

“It was a pandemonium,” she says.

“They created a brewery pact, made it so we couldn’t talk to any of them. They basically started what I would consider price fixing, offering terms that we couldn’t work with.”

Lost Coast Brewery, Todd says, also reneged on its handshake deal after pressure from the rest of the breweries. We reached out to Lost Coast Brewery for a statement but didn’t hear back. Redwood Curtain Brewing Company also did not return our calls but owners Amanda and Drake Mollberg posted a comment on the online version of this story on the Journal website, saying, “We had a pleasant, mutually respectful and individual face-to-face meeting with Jeanette Todd of Arcata Main Street. Arcata Main Street has supported our small, family-owned brewery for years and we, in turn, have supported their nonprofit needs.”

Ted Vivatson, president of the Eel River Brewing Company, came away from the meeting with a totally different memory of events.

“It was kind of unnerving,” he tells the Journal. “We were contacted and basically

told that we needed to donate 100 percent of the beer or they would go with a multi-national conglomerate that would donate 100 percent. I was like, ‘Wow, that’s kind of crazy coming from Arcata that’s so anti-corporate.’”

Vivatson declines to state which multi-national conglomerate he was referring to but other sources confirmed that Lagunitas was the company that’s name appeared on Arcata Main Street’s “ask” list. Lagunitas founder Tony Magee did not initially respond to the Journal but commented online after this article was originally posted, saying his company has a long history of donating beer for nonprofits that predates its corporate ownership.

“We’ve always done it on principle. The fest has always been cool and it’s cool to be able to help,” he writes. “That’s all there is to say about it ... the great local brewers should be involved, too, and help the event in any way they can.”

Neither Todd nor Arcata Main Street Board President Victoria Joyce would say that pouring Lagunitas beer was entirely off the table, with Joyce saying they did not currently have a contract with the company and Todd saying the nonprofit board was “always looking for support.”

The meeting at Mad River Brewing Co., Vivatson says, did have a “bullying” vibe but that it was all on the part of the festival organizers.

“They said, ‘You donate the beer or we will go with an unnamed multi-national corporation,’” he claims. “Everybody at that meeting heard the same thing I did.”

Vivatson says the advantage of vending and donating at an event such as Oyster

Festival is the chance to introduce your product to many new potential customers. He and other brewers, he says, support many other local events such as the Benbow Summer Arts and Music Festival, the North Country Fair and the Fortuna Rodeo.

“These kinds of events keep a lot of money in the local area,” Vivatson tells the Journal. “What I always tell people is we like to break even in these kinds of things.

We have a responsibility not only to the community but to our employees, to keep the door open. I don’t see this as a good thing for anybody.”

It appears as though both sides are feeling a financial pinch. Maier says the recent trend of smaller craft breweries being bought out by large corporations makes those in the local industry anxious and that they felt the need to “stand their ground.” Todd says Arcata Main Street has been seeing less revenue from the festival — its sole fundraiser — in recent years and the organization has to be nimble. At the core of the dispute, however, appears to be a push and pull over some very Humboldt values.

Maier, speaking about the negotiations, describes the issue as a departure from the traditionally hyper-local focus of the festival.

“They are not playing in the spirit of Humboldt or Arcata,” she says of Arcata Main Street. ● Linda Stansberry is a staff writer at the Journal. Reach her at 442-1400, extension 317, or linda@northcoastjournal.com.

Realistic Sex Robots to Save Us All A word from your friends at HotBotix Engineering

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

T

he Southern Poverty Law Center has categorized “incels,” involuntarily celibate men who share and promote a virulently misogynist and violent ideology, as a male supremacist hate group. Self-proclaimed members of this largely online community escalated to terrorist violence in Isla Vista, California, in 2014 with a mass shooting, and last month in Toronto, Canada, when a man drove a van into a crowd and killed 10 people — both claiming revenge on women. Recently in the New York Times and elsewhere, rather than addressing the foundational issue of misogyny, a potential solution has been suggested to appease them: sex robots.

We at HotBotix are proud to offer a solid, peaceful alternative to deadly rampages or the sexual enslavement of half the population. After all, it’s just sex these proponents of mass rape are demanding, not the wholesale subjugation of the women they refer to as subhuman, right? And if science fiction has taught us nothing else, it’s that when the worst of

If science fiction has taught us nothing else, it’s that robots are the answer.

humanity shows its ugliest side, robots are the answer.

There are those who worry sex robots will contribute to so-called rape culture and our society’s dehumanizing tendency to view women only as sexual objects, driving so-called incels further down a dark path of isolation and violent, misogynist radicalism. Crazy! Surely incels aren’t demanding women become sex dolls — they just want sex dolls that are more like real women.

Not only can our hyper-realistic sex bots replicate the physical experience of intercourse with a silicone gaming avatar topped with expensive human hair and devoid of opinions or needs, they can also create socializing interactions to prepare angry, entitled men for relationships with real women who have no goddamn idea what they’re getting into, assuming they’re not on 4chan or running down the rabbit holes of terrifying subReddits.

While we can’t conjure the actual connection and fulfillment that come from give and take with a person exercising free will, the boobs are nearly indistinguishable from those of a real woman with enormous implants. And HotBotix sex bots go

beyond the fantasy to provide everything else you’re missing out on from casual and long-term sexual relationships.

That includes all the quirky, human moments of partner intimacy that porn just can’t provide. Mind you, we’ve generously installed the same features in our male sex bots despite the fact that involuntarily celibate women and LGBTQ folks don’t seem to turn to violence and instead just read more.

Once you’ve unpacked and charged your sex bot, the magic begins. Painfully awkward small talk is followed by flirtation, watching it check its phone while you’re talking and at least one off-putting discussion of its ex, who is “a total psycho, but whatever.”

As things turn physical, get ready for conversations about when you were last tested, condoms and struggling for a polite way to ask whether that’s just razor burn or something you should be concerned about. The afterglow will even be interrupted with questions about how you voted in the last election, which the bot needs to know if whatever this is between you is going anywhere.

State-of-the-art AI tech means your

HotBotix sex bot will learn which positions and sexual acts you enjoy most in the first months of ownership, just like a real long-term partner would. After a few months, it will withhold those behaviors without explanation, doling them out only on “special occasions.” In fact, depending on the model, you may notice it pretty much stops trying in bed altogether and refuses to talk about what’s going on. Then, after a lull, it hits you out of the blue with a frankly disturbing sexual request that freaks you out and, whether you go through with it or not, lingers in your mind.

You’ll be amazed at the subtle expressions on your bot’s face, like interest, pleasure and a far-off look that makes you think it’s imagining Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson instead of you. (Again, this is a feature of both female and male units.)

We’ve also programmed phrases to create the most realistic intimate experiences including: “Ow, ow, ow, you’re on my hair!”

“Um … can you … never mind.”

“Yeah, no. That was … great. It was fine.”

“Leg cramp!”

“Shh. Is that the kids? Are they up?”

“Can we make it quick? I have an early shift.”

“You know what, you can just stop.”

Remember, these are quality bots built to last at least long enough to make you wonder if you should upgrade or just stick with this model because you’ve already invested so much time. They’re also built to kind of let themselves go after the first year. l Jennifer Fumiko Cahill is the arts and features editor at the Journal.

Hedwig Rocks

Morgan Cox goes glam rock in Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

Guts and glitter at NCRT

By David Jervis

frontrow@northcoastjournal.com

A

s a bridge between the rock, pop and soul music of the 1960s and the explosion of punk in the late 1970s, and the myriad subgenres that followed, there was glam rock. Bigger in its scope and impact in the UK, but by no means limited to across the pond, among its flashy and tuneful agents were David Bowie, T-Rex, Sweet and the New York Dolls.

And glam is the basis, the language and beating heart at the center of John Cameron Mitchell’s Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Part play, part rock musical and part (sometimes interactive) one-person show, it’s now on stage at the North Coast Repertory Theatre. With Morgan Cox as Hedwig and under the great direction of Rae Robison, the production is rollicking and exhilarating indeed.

John Cameron Mitchell conceived and then first staged Hedwig off-Broadway in the late 1990s and directed a film adaptation in 2001. The movie’s small-scale box office was far exceeded by critical acclaim and its wild cult following, which helped refuel restaging, including on Broadway, in ensuing years. With a story that has some basis in Mitchell’s own youth in Kansas.

Hedwig, propelled by a musical genre from the ’70s and using political and cultural touchstones from the late 1980s as well as current issues of gender equality, spans time in odd ways to feel timeless and relevant.

The play unfolds as a one-person (two-person, to be quite fair) spoken/sung autobiographical rock opera/revue with Hedwig telling her story from childhood

in East Berlin in the 1970s and 1980s in an impoverished household with a very strict mother. Morgan Cox, backed by a great four-piece band, has deft command of the free-ranging detail of narrative that subsequently flows through meeting Luther, an American Army sergeant who arranges for Hedwig’s departure, but only with the condition that he, then male, undergo surgery to transition to female in order to come to the West and marry him. The surgery is botched, leaving Hedwig, with a 1-inch scar (“the angry inch”) rather than any genitalia at all. When Luther eventually leaves Hedwig single and jobless and alone in Junction City, Kansas, Hedwig’s odyssey in love and growth truly begins, told in such raucous musical numbers as “Wicked Little Town” and “Hedwig’s Lament ” and in such great lyrics as “My sex-change operation got botched/My guardian angel fell asleep on the watch/Now all I got is a Barbie Dollcrotch/I’ve got an angry inch.”

Hedwig is the sort of show, as the obscure showbiz expression goes, that makes its own gravy. It lends itself to being so freewheeling that it can go in all kinds of directions with improvisation on the part of Cox, including his banter with the audience, the four members of the band and his co-star Yitzhak (Jo Kuzelka), who plays Hedwig’s drag queen husband from Croatia and who serves as a backup singer and near-constant stage presence throughout the show. Hedwig is filled with bits of improvisation spun off of recent headlines, all kinds of remarks on consent and gender identity (some of which date back to the original 1990s material and don’t always as

play as well two decades later) and great improvisation on the part of Cox talking to and wandering into the audience (even lending out a hat to someone in the front row the evening I attended).

Cox, most recently seen in Ferndale as Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors, as well as in NCRT’s recent staging of Richard III and The Hollow, really blows the doors off the place. To be Hedwig requires combining being an emcee, a sort of cabaret master, a storyteller, a comedian, a very serious actor, a crazy, brash, fearless physical presence and above all someone who can convey with great humanity a story of agonizing, hilarious, harsh, pointed genderqueer character. And Kuzelka (Laurey in NCRT’s Oklahoma and also recently seen in Pippin and Little Women) is amazing in a role that is bigger and more vital than it might seem. Her singing voice remains an absolute wonder and what she brings is vital to being an onstage compliment to Hedwig’s full-time stage presence.

Mainstream American society seems at a precipice of understanding how we think about gender identity and all the tolerance, thought and love that comes with that. NCRT’s production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, by offering a look back at the 20-year span since John Cameron Mitchell conceived of it, rises to that task in the best way possible — by being smart, poignant and glam rock as all hell.

At Saturday night’s performance, Cox was injured onstage, necessitating the early ending of the show and medical treatment. However, according to NCRT, Cox has been cleared by doctors to perform this Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Hedwig and the Angry Inch plays at the North Coast Repertory Theatre in Eureka on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. through June 9 and also Thursday, June 7, with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. through June 3. Call 442-NCRT or visit www.ncrt.net.

T

he more creatively named bands featured this week got my wheels spinning down memory lane. Despite a preternatural and seething distrust of all things over and done with, I couldn’t help thinking about some of the uniquely named groups I’ve encountered over the decades. I myself used to front a New Orleans-based punk/psych outfit called PonyKiller, named after any car that can beat a stock Mustang flat-out in a street race. During those years I encountered Child Bite, Dumpster Dummy, Evil Army, Red Shield, Mountain of Wizard and Cavalcade. I once watched a trio of large men in North Carolina play doom metal under the moniker Pig Mountain and a foul-mouthed hip-hop puppet named Doogie Fontaine. And to what end? To paraphrase Roy Batty in Blade Runner, all these moments will be eventually lost in time, like tears in rain.

Have a swell week.

Rock ’n’ roll’s afoot in Eureka and Arcata at 8 p.m. I used to call two simultaneous shows I wanted to see at different venues “slingshot shows,” which made sense to me at the time. Anyway, slingshot your way across the bay and back to catch what you can of these two if you have the fortitude. Siren’s Song has one-man band Kenny Bowling opening for FHOG — short for Finger Hash of the Gods — and the always exquisite Ultramafic (price TBA).

Up at the Outer Space, groove rock royalty Lord Ellis burns down the house in honor of its latest release Mouth of the Mad. Skate punk slack-engine Imperial Destructo opens ($5).

Why is my pulse elevated, my pupils dilated and my body hair erect? Because OG punk/thrash masters D.R.I. — Dirty Rotten Imbeciles — are playing the Arcata Vet’s Hall tonight at 7 p.m. ($20/$15 advance). And although I have listened to them since I was knee-high to a grasshopper, I have yet to see the esteemed Messrs. Brecht and Cassidy live. My inner disaffected youth is knifing his way out of my pathetic, aged carapace to cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war once again.

Deathwish, Scythe and Scum Lourdes provide support.

Sunday Metal is on the menu tonight at the Siren’s Song at 6:30 p.m. for those suffering from twee-fatigue or iron deficiencies (price TBA). Join Yreka’s thrash masters Chains of Belmont — that has to be a Castlevania reference, right? — with Shasta Lake City’s Bullet Lobotomy and local metal mavens Muppet Hunter and Unholy Orifice (moment of appreciation for two stupidly cool names) for a neck bending blood-feast.

Monday So a band from Athens, Georgia, named itself Eureka California and is playing the Miniplex tonight at 8:30 p.m. (price TBA).

A dip into its discography didn’t reveal the duo’s reason for such an oddly specific local name but I enjoyed the 7-inch Wigwam. Arcata California’s Super Senior and Blood Honey provide local support.

Wednesday Siren’s Song hosts a Hip Hop and Ladies Comedy Night at 9 p.m. ($5). The unusual assemblage features local DJs, rappers and female comedians in a likely fun mash-up.

Full disclosure, I have a pig in this poke — my insanely talented middle brother Ian will be spitting his spoken-word rap stylings under the moniker Rufian so you bet your brass monkey I’ll be there. So will DJ Goldylocks, Flow J Simpson, Jessica Grant, Melissa Gordon and many more. l Full show listings in the Journal’s Music and More grid, the Calendar and online.

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

Collin Yeo has been a vampire hunter, space pirate, prince of the universe and Mario Brother. He has also rarely played video games. He lives in Arcata.

Drink and dance the night away to Doug Fir and the 2x4s, then hail the new queen.

Bee lovers, gather your swarm and wing it to Bee Fest 2018.

Saturday, May 19 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Adorni Recreation Center ($1 suggested donation but all are welcome). Brought to you by the Humboldt County Beekeepers Association and E.C.O. Eureka, this all-things-bees, if-you-please, festival is honey-packed with workshops, presentations, booths, art, goods, raffle, music and more — all under this year’s theme, “Dance of the Pollinators.”

The fest is great opportunity to chat with area beekeepers to find out what you can do to help the survival of this important pollinator. How important? Bees are responsible for the very food we eat and much of the beauty we see in nature. Thankfully, the Seed Exchange and the Native Plant Society will be on hand with free flower seeds and native plants to promote pollinator-friendly gardens. Stop by the HoneyBee Marketplace for bee-themed novelties and artisanal products at a honey of a deal. There, you can also view the art contest and the children’s art show.

Kids can partake of games and activities like an antennae making workshop, seed bomb making and a pollinator protector scavenger hunt. At noon, there will be an original story shared by renowned storyteller Holly Sweet. And speaking of sweet, don’t miss the honey vendors, the Taste the Honey contest and live music throughout the day from Mood Swing, Mon Petit Chou and Bandemonium, featuring a special pollination dance by the Morris Dancers at 3 p.m.

Here on the North Coast, we love our crabs. We named our summer collegiate baseball team after them and have a festival every year celebrating them. However, this year, due to an unstable crab market and unpredictable wintry weather, the Eureka Crab Celebration has been shelved and a new event has taken its place.

Bounty by the Bay, a rolicking, pirate-themed festival that focuses on the many natural and cultural resources Humboldt has to offer, sets sail May 18-19 in and around Historic Old Town Eureka.

Eureka Main Street’s event includes a Pirate Pub Crawl, a Pirate Run 5k and an all-day festival on the Boardwalk. Shiver me timbers.

On Friday, May 18, roam the storied streets with other scallawags in search of rum and something to soak it up at the Pirate Pub Crawl happening throughout Old Town and downtown bars and restaurants from 5 to 9 p.m. (pay-as-you-go). Come back Saturday, May 19 for an invigorating Pirate Run 5k along the new Humboldt Bay Trail starting at 10 a.m. at F Street Plaza ($10 entry fee). Or settle in for a relaxing afternoon of food, vendors, music, speeder car rides, Madaket cruises and kids’ activities at the Bounty by the Bay Festival from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The fun stretches from Madaket Plaza all along the boardwalk to F Street Plaza (free admission).

Wrap it all up at the Eureka Theater with a special showing of The Goonies (1985) at 5:30 p.m. (free admission, donations welcome).

Don’t worry, crab lovers, your Humboldt Crabbies are still set to swing at the Arcata Ballpark starting in June.

Breaking In

Free Gabrielle Union and Melissa McCarthy

By John J. Bennett

filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

BREAKING IN. For longer than I’d really care to countenance (probably the release of Bring It On in 2000) I’ve found Gabrielle Union to be a consummately compelling actor who should be in major releases with her name above the title. There are vestigial traces of the old weak knees, mild palpitations playground crush in this, to be sure. But what has become most compelling now is the balance of humor, strength and humility with which she seems to approach the work of acting. One could call it charisma or screen presence, but to me there is a deeper, more innate and personal quality to her best performances that closes the distance between her and the audience. There isn’t much artifice to her acting and very little preciousness or manufactured gravitas — she doesn’t seem to be trying to impress anybody. She shows up for the work and is present and immediate in parts that — lamentably, more often than not — might not rise to that level of input. Union is funny right up to the boundary of goofiness, vulnerable without seeming exposed, always with dignity and composure. I can rarely find a

reason to watch anyone else when she’s on screen.

So it was exciting to consider the possibility of watching her kick ass and take names as a mom repelling a crew of home invaders. Kick ass and take names, she does. But once again she is far and away the best part of a shallowly imagined, Kansas-flat, would-be thriller that is most surprising in its many failures of technical execution.

The setup is promising: Shaun Russell (Union) returns to the lavish, isolated horse ranch of her youth to settle the estate of her estranged father and prepare the house for sale. She has brought along her teenage daughter Jasmine (Ajiona Alexus) and younger son Glover (Seth Carr). What she couldn’t possibly know: A robbery crew has chosen the same weekend to break in, in search of a possibly apocryphal sum of cash in a hidden safe. (There’s some background noise/exposition about Shaun’s dad liquidating his assets on the eve of a fraud trial.)

And then the movie ostensibly starts

Field Notes

Filmland Continued from previous page

to pick up steam but really just goes immediately off the rails. The bad guys, all thinly drawn arch characters to start with, are played as if by people who checked out a library book about the stagecraft of villainy. The leader Eddie (Billy Burke) could be menacing, with his submerged cruelty and calculation, but this gives way momentarily to wild-eyed gesticulation and a propensity to violence unsupported by his physical presence. And implausible doesn’t even begin to describe the selection process he applied to his accomplices: Duncan (Richard Cabral) is a remorseless killer with no other apparent qualifications for this job; Sam (Levi Meaden), a supposed drug addict with a kind streak, at least had some initial information about the money they’re after. The only connection the three share: Eddie found the other two, each “doin’ three to five, in county.” This is what passes for authentic dialogue. Maybe it works on the page but delivered on screen, I question whether any of these guys have even seen a jail from the outside.

And that lack of verisimilitude becomes a theme. Breaking In is plagued early and often by errors in continuity, questionable motivations, improbable plot devices and, most troubling, a complete lack of danger.

Union is great as always but the material she’s working with is woefully undeveloped. The movie could have been salvaged on set and in the editing room, but no help there. It’s tempting to call it a mess but it’s too antiseptic, too orderly in the wrong ways; there can be art and excitement in a mess. PG13. 88M. BROADWAY. LIFE OF THE PARTY. Melissa McCarthy, when she’s really on, owns every frame of every movie in which she appears. Very few actors working today can hold their own against her ferocious comedic dynamism, her unique blend of perfect timing, physicality and self-confidence emerging from a shell of manufactured awkwardness.

There will be moments — many of them, if we’re lucky — when she will overwhelm our defenses and the laughter will cause convulsions. But, of course, storytelling convention and the limits of humor dictate that we can’t just have 90 minutes of McCarthy going bonkers on screen. No, we have to have an inciting incident and three acts building toward a resolution and the characters all have to learn something by the end. There are rules and conventions, and I don’t particularly care for them. I just want her to make me laugh.

Life of the Party, in which McCarthy plays a middle-aged mom going back to college with her daughter, provides that. But the really funny moments are semi-buried in a serviceable plot (written

by McCarthy and her husband/director

Ben Falcone) that feels too conventional for her remarkable brand of comedy. PG13.

T

he New Age began, as far as I was concerned, in the spring of 1970. Fresh in the Americas, I was completely captivated by woo — the more some phenomenon seemed ridiculous, the more likely I was to believe it. “Credo quia absurdum,” wrote the Christian apologist Tertullian around 200 A.D. “I believe it because it is absurd.”

Which pretty much summed up my attitude toward, among other absurdities, the Bermuda Triangle, healing crystals, Yeti and Bigfoot, the Tarot and the I Ching, remote viewing and, of course, pyramid power.

Back then, pyramid power was a thing.

Pyramids held the key to immortality, were built by aliens, contained mystical energy fields, stopped aging, prevented food from rotting, restored sexual potency and best of all (because of its immediate money-saving promise) restored razor blades to their original sharpness.

I would carefully align my used blades north-south in a little cardboard pyramid built to specifications found in Sheila Ostrander’s book Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain. After two weeks of “focusing the Earth’s magnetic field” my blades were as good as new. Sort of. I seem to remember cutting myself a lot in my pyramid era.

“Pyramidology” started in the 1930s when Antoine Bovis, quaintly described in Wikipedia as “a French ironmonger and pendulum-dowsing author,” wrote a booklet in which he claimed to be able to prevent meat from rotting by putting it in a miniature cardboard pyramid.

Czechoslovakian Karel Drbal heard about Bovis’ “discovery” and in 1949 successfully applied for patent 91304: “Pharaoh’s shaving device.” This was a cardboard replica — suitably scaled down — of the Great Pyramid of Giza. It took a quarter century but by the 1970s, pyramid power, in all its weird and wonderful incarnations, was flourishing the West.

The key, according to all the self-proclaimed pyramidologists, was the shape of the pyramid. You couldn’t just make

any old pyramid if you expected to sharpen razor blades, restore lost libido, etc. Your pyramid had to be a perfect replica of the Great Pyramid built by the Fourth Dynasty pharaoh Khnum Khufu some 5,500 years ago. That is, its slope had to be 11:14 (horizontal to vertical) and aligned exactly north-south. I’ve written about the fascinating dimensions of that pyramid (“Pyramid Geometry,” March 25, 2010), wherein you can find both the ratio pi and the golden mean. Preferably one’s model pyramid would be made of a dialectic material such as waxed paper (to, um, focus the magnetic field?) and at that point you pretty much had access to the secrets of the universe. Think all this silliness has gone away? Think again.

Amazon has dozens of pyramidal devices, such as a “Copper Meditation Pyramid for Self-Healing and Heart Chakra Activation.”

Yours for $222 plus shipping.

Like Stonehenge and the Nazca Lines, the Great Pyramid invites far-fetched and other-worldly theories. How could those primitive Egyptians, armed only with copper tools, possibly have constructed such a massive monument without, at the very least, assistance from aliens? By smart use of humanpower is how. The pharaoh took advantage of the annual Nile floods, when tens of thousands of farmers couldn’t work in their waterlogged fields. Khufu’s pyramid was a 20-year-long public works project, no extraterrestrial help needed.

As far as construction techniques, I’m a recent convert to Franz Löhner’s rope-roll system of hauling the blocks directly up the sides of the pyramids on sledges, thus eliminating construction ramps.

By the way, the Tertullian quote isn’t quite so “absurd” as it reads at first blush.

His point was that a highly improbable tale is unlikely to be a complete fabrication.

Which could, I suppose, put a whole new spin on pyramid power. Got any razor blades that need sharpening? ● Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo. com) is now a true believer in skepticism.

Week of May 17, 2018

By Rob Brezsny

Homework:Do something that you will remember with pride and passion until the end of your days. Testify at Freewillastrology.com.

freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): According to my assessment of the astrological omens, your duty right now is to be a brave observer and fair-minded intermediary and honest storyteller.

Your people need you to help them do the right thing. They require your influence in order to make good decisions. So if you encounter lazy communication, dispel it with your clear and concise speech. If you find that foggy thinking has started to infect important discussions, inject your clear and concise insights.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A chemist named Marcellus Gilmore Edson got a patent on peanut butter in 1894. A businessperson named George Bayle started selling peanut butter as a snack in 1894. In 1901, a genius named Julia David Chandler published the first recipe for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. In 1922, another pioneer came up with a new process for producing peanut butter that made it taste better and last longer. In 1928, two trailblazers invented loaves of sliced bread, setting the stage for the ascension of the peanut butter and jelly sandwich to its full glory. According to my analysis, Taurus, you’re partway through your own process of generating a very practical marvel. I suspect you’re now at a phase equivalent to Julia David Chandler’s original recipe.

Onward! Keep going!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): One of the most popular brands of candy in North America is Milk Duds. They’re irregularly shaped globs of chocolate caramel. When they were first invented in 1926, the manufacturer’s plan was to make them perfect little spheres. But with the rather primitive technology available at that time, this proved impossible. The finished products were blobs, not globes. They tasted good, though.

Workers jokingly suggested that the new confection’s name include “dud,” a word meaning “failure” or “flop.” Having sold well now for more than 90 years, Milk Duds have proved that success doesn’t necessarily require perfection. Who knows?

Maybe their dud-ness has been an essential part of their charm. I suspect there’s a metaphorical version of Milk Duds in your future, Gemini.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In my vision of your life in the coming weeks, you’re hunting for the intimate power that you lost a while back. After many twists and trials, you find it almost by accident in a seemingly unimportant location, a place you have paid little attention to for a long time. When you recognize it, and realize you can reclaim it, your demeanor transforms. Your eyes brighten, your skin glows, your body language galvanizes. A vivid hope arises in your imagination: how to make that once-lost, now-rediscovered power come alive again and be of use to you in the present time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The etymological dictionary says that the English slang word “cool” meant “calmly audacious” as far back as 1825. The term “groovy” was first used by jazz musicians in the 1930s to signify “performing well without grandstanding.” “Hip,” which was originally “hep,” was also popularized by the jazz community. It meant, “informed, aware, up-to-date.” I’m bringing these words to your attention because I regard them as your words of power in the coming weeks. You can be and should be as hip, cool, and groovy as you have been in a long time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I hope you will seek out influences that give you grinning power over your worries. I hope you’ll be daring enough to risk a breakthrough in service to your most demanding dream. I hope you will make an effort to understand yourself as your best teacher might understand you. I hope you will find out how to summon more faith in yourself -- a faith not rooted in lazy wishes but in a rigorous self-assessment. Now here’s my prediction: You will fulfill at least one of my hopes, and probably more.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The Polish pianist Ignacy Jan Pad-

erewski once performed for England’s Queen Victoria. Since she possessed that bygone era’s equivalent of a backstage pass, she was able to converse with him after the show. “You’re a genius,” she told him, having been impressed with his artistry.

“Perhaps, Your Majesty,” Paderewski said. “But before that I was a drudge.” He meant that he had labored long and hard before reaching the mastery the Queen attributed to him.

According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you Libras are currently in an extended “drudge” phase of your own. That’s a good thing! Take maximum advantage of this opportunity to slowly and surely improve your skills.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The ancient Greek poet Simonides was among the first of his profession to charge a fee for his services. He made money by composing verses on demand.

On one occasion, he was asked to write a stirring tribute to the victor of a mule race. He declined, declaring that his sensibilities were too fine to create art for such a vulgar activity. In response, his potential patron dramatically boosted the proposed price. Soon thereafter, Simonides produced a rousing ode that included the phrase “wind-swift steeds.” I offer the poet as a role model for you in the coming weeks, Scorpio. Be more flexible than usual about what you’ll do to get the reward you’d like.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Here’s the operative metaphor for you these days: You’re like a painter who has had a vision of an interesting work of art you could create -- but who lacks some of the paint colors you would require to actualize this art. You may also need new types of brushes you haven’t used before. So here’s how I suggest you proceed: Be aggressive in tracking down the missing ingredients or tools that will enable you to accomplish your as-yet imaginary masterpiece.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Useful revelations and provocative epiphanies are headed your way. But they probably won’t arrive sheathed in sweetness and light, accompanied by tinkling swells of celestial music. It’s more likely they’ll come barging in with a clatter, bringing bristly marvels and rough hope. In a related matter: At least one breakthrough is in your imminent future. But this blessing is more likely to resemble a wrestle in the mud than a dance on a mountaintop. None of this should be a problem, however! I suggest you enjoy the rugged but interesting fun.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): One of the saddest aspects of our lives as humans is the disparity between love and romance.

Real love is hard work. It’s unselfish, unwavering, and rooted in generous empathy. Romance, on the other hand, tends to be capricious and inconstant, often dependent on the fluctuations of mood and chemistry. Is there anything you could do about this crazy-making problem, Aquarius? Like could you maybe arrange for your romantic experiences to be more thoroughly suffused with the primal power of unconditional love? I think this is a realistic request, especially in the coming weeks. You will have exceptional potential to bring more compassion and spiritual affection into your practice of intimacy.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to dream up new rituals. The traditional observances and ceremonies bequeathed to you by your family and culture may satisfy your need for comfort and nostalgia, but not your need for renewal and reinvention.

Imagine celebrating homemade rites of passage designed not for who you once were but for the new person you’ve become. You may be delighted to discover how much power they provide you to shape your life’s long-term cycles. Ready to conjure up a new ritual right now? Take a piece of paper and write down two fears that inhibit your drive to create a totally interesting kind of success for yourself. Then burn that paper and those fears in the kitchen sink while chanting “I am a swashbuckling incinerator of fears!” ●
