Vote Madrone!

Editor: How my dad got the name Stephen SunGnome Madrone is a favorite family story.

His last name had already been changed when his mother was remarried, so my parents decided on a new family name: Madrone. Chosen for its far reaching branches and deep roots, Madrone could not be more fitting for our family.

And SunGnome? When my sister was 4, playing hide and seek, my dad popped up from behind a stump, making her laugh and squeal, “You’re like a sun gnome!” It stuck. She kept calling him a sun gnome and soon so was everyone else. He loved that nickname from his spunky little daughter and made it his middle name. Some might think these names weird but, for me, they speak to the kind of parent my dad is and the family values he holds. So there you have it!

Amber Madrone, McKinleyville Editor: When there was a slight possibility to keep Sinclair Media from devouring some of our local airwaves, I called our supervisors to see if they would express concern to the FCC about this sale/ takeover by this mega media giant.

I actually spoke with Mr. Sundberg.

He commented how he had received calls from other people regarding this issue, yet he was totally clueless and what was worse, he was dismissive. I was basically ignored.

Then, most recently, up comes the Mercer-Fraser proposal. What a totally stupid, irresponsible, dangerous plan!! And Sundberg has no claim to its withdrawal. With all the water woes we are witness to just about everywhere, every day, who is crazy enough to want to risk our amazing supplies? There is no amount of money to replace our Mad and Trinity rivers.

A change is clearly needed. Vote for Steve Madrone!

Kathryn Travers, Eureka Editor: For over 20 years, Steve Madrone’s family and mine shared the miracles of birth, the joys of weddings and the sorrows of death. Steve, his wife and children have contributed amazing work and advocacy in Humboldt County.

Throughout those years my career with underprivileged youth, fish habitat and trails allowed me to witness his tireless

efforts to create the Hammond Trail and restore salmon in the Mattole.

Steve is able to cut through red tape and political divides to find creative and collaborative solutions to the issues that threaten our community. He’s never been beholden to corporations or outside influences. The endorsements and contributions in this race show who represents the working people and who represents the powerful and elite. Steve has proven time and again that he does not cave to pressure, can’t be bought and will never stop speaking on behalf of those who have no voice.

Phil Heidrick, McKinleyville Editor: What a privilege to be able to vote for a candidate I can truly support, and who I believe really will have the best interests of Humboldt County people at heart.

Steve Madrone has the ideas, skills and vision to serve the Fifth District and people all over the county. He brings a real concern for people to the job of supervisor, with intelligent and well thought-out perspectives on issues from schools to elder housing, from protection of water and natural resources to approaches to cannabis that will serve all of us, not can justwe big putbusiness. "please!"

Madrone has the expertise to help us navigate economic, social and environmental challenges, and he has the integrity to treat all sides fairly and even-handedly.

How great that someone of Steve Madrone’s caliber is willing to devote himself to work for all of us. He has my vote.

Brenda Cooper, Trinidad Editor: Watershed health should be a core issue in the Fifth District, which has four of our region’s “six rivers” running through it. Thus the lack of understanding of basic principles of watershed function revealed in Supervisor Ryan Sundberg’s statement that a hash lab project on the Mad River was not a threat to public health because it would be located 2 feet outside the flood plain, is startling.

Our region is a leader in pioneering the science of watershed restoration.

Our scientists and restoration specialists act as consultants to governments and NGO groups all over the world. Steve Madrone has had hands-on involvement in watershed restoration since its beginnings here in Humboldt and understands

the importance of watersheds to our health and economy. We need a supervisor with his experience, knowledge and commitment. If you live in the Fifth District, please get out and vote for Steve Madrone on June 5.

Emelia Berol, McKinleyville Editor: In the 1950s and 60s, when I grew up, scouting was in its heyday and a big part of the lives of my brothers, cousins and friends. It was a big factor in building the character and skills in the ethical and productive men they became. And becoming an Eagle Scout was a big deal then. The percentage of boys involved was large, and very few were able to meet its requirements.

So this one of the many accomplishments in Steve Madrone’s resume means a lot to me. It shows in his broad vision, knowledge and curiosity; his large and close family; his deep concern for fairness, community and the future of this planet; and in his energy to work hard and fight for what he thinks is right.

I think he is the best prepared of any candidate I have ever seen for Humboldt County supervisor.

Joyce King, McKinleyville

About Those Endorsements Editor: I like to look at who is endorsing candidates to help me decide who to vote for, but in my district’s board of supervisors race, three major Native American tribes are endorsing non-Native American Steve Madrone, and Democrats Huffman, McGuire, and Wood, are endorsing non-Democrat Ryan Sundberg.

I’d suggest people read the op-ed piece in the Times-Standard (“Incumbents Endorsing Incumbents,” April 26), which explains how our representatives in Congress, Assembly and state Senate ignore the endorsements of our local Democratic central committee to endorse incumbents. Four years ago, Huffman endorsed incumbent Ryan Sundberg even before the filing date for candidates closed. The article says a staff member told the writer that Huffman makes his choice not as our representative or based on party platform, but as an individual who works with the incumbent.

I hope that voters realize that these powerful-looking, out-of-county endorsers aren’t looking at what is best for us locally.

Jean Browning, McKinelyville

‘Crocodile Tears’ Editor: There are many ways unscrupulous politicians will misguide their constituents. One nefarious way is through appointments.

Many local officials have the authority to appoint members to powerful committees, such as the planning commission — appointees whose predilections they know full-well in advance of the selection. These nominees often have well-established track records. Like those who’ve supported big-money development projects, the interests of the average constituent and the environment be damned.

Said official then cries crocodile tears to the citizenry about how “they” were never in support of said project, glossing over the fact that it was their appointee who voted for and, often, advocated for others to also vote for a developer’s project.

I’d much rather live under an honest politician with whom I disagreed than the sort who duplicitously feigns concern while surreptitiously maneuvering to smooth the way for that which he or she now claims to oppose.

Richard Salzman, Arcata

Vote Sundberg!

Editor: I am writing to express my support of Ryan Sundberg in the upcoming election.

Ryan is respectful, kind, practical, hardworking and accessible. I have worked with Ryan during his two terms as Fifth District supervisor on projects that focus on improving the lives of the most vulnerable people in our community, including children, people living in poverty and families in crisis. Ryan cares about the health and safety of all of the people in our district, and has the knowledge and skills to make meaningful change.

I am consistently impressed with Ryan’s honesty, his ability to bring together people with a variety of views to work toward a common good, his steady optimism and his steadfastness in his pursuit of positive outcomes for our community. We need more politicians like Ryan: people who work across political divides, tell the truth, stay positive, serve with humility and care about real people. Keep up the good work, Ryan!

Hillarie Beyer, McKinleyville Editor: The purpose of this letter is to encourage all of you to get out and vote Tuesday, June 5. More specifically, I would encourage Continued on next page »

you to re-elect Fifth District Supervisor Ryan Sundberg.

Having known Ryan for almost 35 years, I have found him to be honest, trustworthy, intelligent and most capable to achieve goals for the benefit of our county.

As a member of the Humboldt County Fish and Game Citizens Advisory Committee, I have seen first-hand Ryan’s commitment to his constituents through his attention to detail and thoughtful responses to issues that have been brought before him. I believe that Ryan Sundberg’s experience and perspective is what Humboldt County needs to stay the course and to lead us into the next decade.

Loren Furber, McKinleyville Editor: I have to laugh when I see obtuse political statements like the other guy’s beholden to his big donors but I am not beholden to my big donors. The other guy can’t be trusted but you can trust me. So what I look at when I decide who to vote for is who’s getting the job

done on a constant basis, who runs a positive campaign and who I have the trust factor in.

Although I think both the candidates have good qualities, the choice is clear to me as it should be to you that Ryan Sundberg is more then just a cut above. His remarkable efforts as a freshman California Coastal Commissioner saved Humboldt County’s oyster industry. He is someone to be admired and I ask you to vote for him for Fifth District supervisor.

Kevin Collins, McKinleyville Editor: I am writing to encourage the citizens of Humboldt County to re-elect Ryan Sundberg as District 5 supervisor. I’ve known Ryan and his family for 40 years. He’s a man with integrity and he has the best interests of all his constituents in his heart. He knows the problems existing in Humboldt County and he is not afraid to tackle them. He’s approachable and will listen to your concerns.

He’s also representing Humboldt

County on the coastal commission and on the EPA Local Advisory Commission. He takes time to know the issues impacting our region and he is willing to listen to both sides before making a decision. A vote for Ryan Sundberg is a vote for the future of Humboldt County.

Lisa Spellenberg, McKinleyville

Editor: As a longtime business owner and resident of the Fifth District, I urge everyone to support Ryan Sundberg for supervisor. Ryan grew up in Humboldt County, attended local schools and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Humboldt State University. Ryan and his wife Kim, who was also born and raised here, have chosen to stay and raise their daughter Sofie in the Fifth District.

It has been very difficult to watch supporters of his opponent sling exaggeratons, half-truths and outright lies about Ryan while Ryan continues to campaign honorably, demonstrating his commitment to resident and community interests. Clearly Madrone attracts and caters to individuals comfortable with dirty tactics — tactics Ryan has consistently choses not to use. We should not, and cannot, trust anyone else to represent our district.

Please join me in voting for Ryan Sundberg as Fifth District supervisor on June 5.

Wes Green Jr., McKinleyville

Editor: Clear differences do make a difference. Sungnome Madrone says that Senate Bill 562 (the Healthy California Act) advocacy group knows what the bill would cost Californians. He has said that Supervisor Sundberg is uninformed because Sundberg said at this time he did not have enough information and did not know how it would be funded.

Fact: The state Assembly where this funding assessment must be done has tabled S.B. 562 and will bring it back next legislative session. Although you might support the concept, you cannot be a conscientious decision-maker without knowing all the facts. Good governance requires assessing clear differences. Vote for Sundberg in the Fifth District.

Wayne Palmer, McKinleyville

work on solutions to local problems.

Ryan is hands-on and knows how to get things done! Please join me in voting for Ryan Sundberg.

Mike Pigg, McKinleyville Editor: In these days of candidates offering false promises to get elected, it’s

refreshing to see an incumbent who has proven he delivers! Ryan Sundberg consistently delivers to his constituents, throughout his tenure as Fifth District supervisor. From his tireless advocacy to build the McKinleyville Sheriff Substation, where we have 11 deputies serving our district, when we had only two before, to work on the coastal com-

mission and EPA Advisory Committee, Sundberg delivered, keeping our streets and environment safe and clean.

His opponent, on the other hand, makes promises of fresh ideas, yet offers no solutions as to how to implement them. Sound familiar? Sundberg has proven he delivers results. From making Continued on next page »

Editor: I know someone who has done remarkable service to our community, someone who doesn’t try to take credit for others’ hard work, someone who is humble and takes little credit for all the good he actually does.

It’s refreshing to see someone act like a neighbor, friend, role model. I know someone who is an elected official who acts like a statesman, not a short-sighted politician. I know someone whose agenda is to serve his community.

I will vote for that person in the Fifth District election. I will vote for Ryan Sundberg.

Carol Palmer, McKinleyville Editor: I have lived in McKinleyville all my life.

I have been a dairyman and farmer all my life, too. The soil, water and air are most important to me. Without them, good milk can’t exist.

This community is lucky to be blessed with quality air, water and soil. We are also blessed to have someone helping to protect them, someone who is protecting our kids, schools and community values, too.

For these reasons and more, I urge everyone to join me and vote to re-elect Ryan Sundberg for Fifth District supervisor.

Bruno Pialorsi, McKinleyville Editor: I strongly support Fifth District Supervisor Ryan Sundberg for re-election in 2018. Ryan is responsive to community concerns and is a strong advocate for Humboldt County. I have reached out to Ryan on several occasions and he is always willing to discuss concerns and northcoastjournal.com • Thursday, May 24, 2018 • NORTH COAST JOURNAL

Vote Bass!

Editor: Experience counts! Virginia Bass has demonstrated an ability to secure broad-based support for many economic and social programs as Fourth District supervisor.

Her accomplishments and experience have been recognized by the California State Association of Counties (CSAC), where she currently serves at first vice president. CSAC is the preeminent state organization for advocacy of public policy in California. It is comprised of elected supervisors from all 58 California counties. For 2019, Virginia has been selected to assume the presidency of CSAC. Along with that position comes access to the highest levels of state government — up to and including the office of the governor of California. It would be the first time since the 1940s that a Humboldt County supervisor would be CSAC president!

Virginia will represent all interests to state officials. At this time in our local history, we must take advantage of this opportunity. Vote Virginia Bass for Fourth District supervisor.

Joel Canzoneri, Blue Lake

Burkhart, Madrone, Paz Dominguez!

Editor: I have been dismayed by the misappropriation, mishandling, misplaced funds and corruption in this county, along with the “appointments” made for big money donors.

We have grassroots progressive candidates running who do not have the big pockets of their opponents but we do have our voices! I applaud the humanity, science and logic of Dani Burkhart running for Fourth District, Steve Madrone running for Fifth District and the common sense and balls of Karen Paz Dominguez running for auditor-controller, who has found some serious problems within the department.

We need people with the courage to fight for the people, and not just relax

and rake in the money.

They also have the heart to support Senate Bill 562 because they know healthcare is a human right and not a commodity; the county should get out of the healthcare business!

They are endorsed by Our Revolution Humboldt and Humboldt Progressive Democrats.

Pat Kanzler, Eureka

Vote Paz Dominguez!

Editor: Karen Paz Dominguez, that name has been thrown around in fury and spite, but do you know Karen? I have had the privilege of knowing Karen. I watch a strong, intelligent and compassionate woman who has taken on the world of numbers and accountability; and the world of wife and motherhood with integrity, honor and love.

Karen will and does speak up against wrongdoing and injustice. She is strong and outspoken and, unfortunately, many are not comfortable with that. But those are the reasons I admire her. She is honest and hardworking and expects the same from those she works with.

Karen is ready and willing to go as hard as needed to do the best for Humboldt. This is her home and community.

So before you read the smears that are being thrown around … wonder why they would want to smear her. Vote Karen Paz Dominguez June 5!

A Real Answer to the Single-Payer Debate

By Patty Harvey

views@northcoastjournal.com

W

e pay taxes and local fees for water, sewage, garbage and protection, for essential services and infrastructure — an expected, rational cost for the common good. But there is one area of overlooked expense, one fraught with irrationality and inequity; namely, the literally millions of our local dollars going to buy health plans, including some high-level “Cadillac” policies for employees of our various civic institutions, city councils and service districts.

Employees who enjoy these plans benefit from employer-subsidized low premiums and a golden medical safety net. Either they are not aware, or choose to ignore, the less visible costs they and all of us pay in addition to premiums to fill a growing deficit.

The burgeoning medical need of some 12 million uninsured and underinsured has to be factored into our personal costs, which burden the economic well-being of our state. At the other end of the spectrum, all Californians are also paying for high-priced, lifetime healthcare plans for our lawmakers, both state and federal. We in the middle are left to scramble for our own health security.

We don’t have to continue to do this.

Healthcare costs in California, according to Assemblyman Jim Wood’s recent Select Committee report on healthcare, are now at a whopping $400 billion a year and expected to reach half a trillion dollars in a decade under our current system. All civic and business institutions, not to mention families and individuals, stagger under the burden of escalating medical and insurance costs.

Our own North Coast Co-op, for example, reports a devastating $1 million-plus healthcare price tag this fiscal year, the McKinleyville Community Services District’s health insurance costs are more than $700,000 and even little Willow Creek struggles with a more than $90,000 annual insurance cost, to mention a few. Most of these institutions are eager to do something about it.

Today, the main access to health security is offered through private, for-profit insurance companies. But when it comes to public service groups that serve the common good and whose mission statements promise “fiscal responsibility” to constituents, buying into such corporate profiteering defeats that promise. Surely

our leaders would like to do better, if they could find a way to use that money to improve our service instead of servicing insurance company coffers.

There is a way. The Healthy California Act, Senate Bill 562, proposes to change the way Californians pay for their healthcare services. A single-payer system would obviate the need for multiple payers (namely, insurance companies) who waste some 30 to 50 percent of our healthcare dollars on administrative and advertising costs, duplicative and opaque paperwork, obscene CEO salaries and bonuses, and huge profits to delight their stockholders, according to a University of Massachusetts report. (Aetna CEO Mark Bertolini’s salary in 2017 hit $160,000 per day and last year that company took in more than $2.2 billion, according to SEC filings.) Not to mention the lawyers and policy wonks hired to deny and restrict payments. Your healthcare is the last of their concerns.

Instead, under S.B. 562, healthcare providers would be paid from a state-monitored, publicly transparent, nonprofit trust fund absorbing all state and federal healthcare monies that now serve our system.

That single fund would be dedicated to paying all medical and hospital bills (federal waivers needed for this are currently mandated by the Affordable Care Act, as specifically indicated by Assemblyman Wood’s Select Committee on Healthcare, even as Wood, himself, denies their accessibility).

Cutting out the middlemen who collect profits and charge us to pay our bills would save the state some $37 billion, reducing the cost of universal care to $331 billion.

California already collects $225 billion from federal and state subsidies that would be transferred to the single-payer, nonprofit trust fund from which all medical bills would be paid. The additional approximately $106 billion could be garnered through small increments of payroll and sales taxes (for details, Google, “SB 562 Pollin report”).

Immediate protest can be heard loud and clear: “But we don’t want any more taxes!” To that, please consider: What if you never had to pay another medical bill, healthcare insurance premium, co-pay, deductible, out-of-pocket or out-ofnetwork fee? And you could go for any treatment by any doctor, clinic or hospital,

regardless of employment or lack thereof, age, gender, marital status or pre-existing conditions? Surely that’s worth a fewcents-on-the-dollar sales tax.

Unfortunately, S.B. 562 now languishes in the Assembly Rules Committee, unilaterally sequestered by Speaker Anthony Rendon. Our own assemblyman, Jim Wood, abides that imprisonment. He claims to support the concept of universal healthcare coverage, but “just not by this bill.”

Why? There is the niggling question of the more than $500,000 in campaign donations Wood has received from the healthcare industry, according to the National Institute of Money in Politics, donations he insists have no effect on his politics. Revealingly, however, he does want corporate insurers to play a role in his idea of universal coverage, a death-knell to the single-payer concept. Until we get money out of politics, the taint of cash poisons every word from a politician’s mouth, all claims to the contrary notwithstanding.

A coalition of single-payer supporters is being created on the North Coast, represented by civic institutions that speak for all of us to show our legislators that we are united in a desire for single-payer healthcare. The city councils of Trinidad, Arcata, Eureka and Blue Lake as well as the community services districts of Manila, Willow Creek and Redway all suffer the crippling cost of healthcare premiums. They understand the financial relief they would enjoy by jettisoning this insurance burden. Accordingly, they have all signed a formal resolution to support movement of S.B. 562 into law.

There are, however, some arenas that have so far been ambivalent about entertaining real debate on this issue; specifically, the Fortuna and Ferndale city councils, the McKinleyville Community Services District and our own Humboldt County Board of Supervisors. (Witness the BOS discussion here: https://youtu.be/8qesUqbcYPQ). Certainly these community leaders have immediate pressures and issues to wrestle. How much more easily might they contend with those issues given the added financial flexibility and freedom of being relieved of health insurance costs?

Yes, people are afraid of change, but moving to a single-payer system is not reinventing the wheel. We have the instructive example of nearly every other industrialized democracy around the world that enjoys some form of single-payer healthcare. No one from another country has ever expressed the desire to trade for our non-system, as they spend half what we do on healthcare yet have better health outcomes. No one in these countries goes broke or homeless or dies from lack of medical care. California is the fifth

largest economy in the world. To suggest we “can’t afford” healthcare strains credibility. The reality is, we can’t afford not to.

In the 1960s, the doctors of Saskatchewan screamed bloody murder at the idea of such a healthcare revolution. They even went on strike. As of today, they have been enjoying their single-payer system for almost 50 years. The latest from Canada was an article about how doctors in Toronto were offered a hefty pay raise: they refused, saying, “We already make plenty of money, please use the funds to improve the details of our public system” (BBC News, March 8, Why Quebec Doctors Have Rejected a Pay Raise).

So the real crisis before us is public understanding. The powers that be need to hear that we do understand what’s at stake and we want them to do something about it. We don’t have money for big political contributions but we do have our voices.

That’s where you come in. Every citizen of this district who cares about how their taxes and service fees are spent and envisions an equitable, universal, nonprofit solution to our current healthcare crisis should invite Fortuna, Ferndale, McKinleyville and the board of supervisors to free themselves from the chains of corporate health insurance by joining the 70 percent of Californians who want a single-payer system.

Week in Weed

Hold My Oreo

By Thadeus Greenson

newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

W

ith little fanfare, the state of California released its revised cannabis industry regulations last week.

The updated regs are largely seen as a baby step between the initial rules released late last year and what will become the final regulations later this year. The latter are largely considered shrug-worthy.

“The first step that Neil Armstrong took on the moon, everybody noticed, but by step No. 43, nobody really cared anymore,” cracked California Growers Association Executive Director Hezekiah Allen in an interview with Marijuana Business Daily.

What is noteworthy about the new rules from the Bureau of Cannabis Control, the Department of Food and Agriculture and the Department of Public Health is that they allow companies with medical licenses to continue to do business with those holding only adult-use, recreational licenses rather than requiring a separation, which would have been a huge disruption to the industry. Of special interest to Humboldt County is a provision requiring that if a product is branded as being from a specific county, 100 percent of the cannabis used in it must be from said county.

The new regulations also outlaw what industry folks refer to as the “ice cream truck” delivery model, in which someone can load up a delivery truck with all kinds of cannabis products to have on hand as orders are placed online and a delivery driver cruises through town. Instead, delivery drivers now must receive orders and stock their vehicles at a brick-and-mortar location before making the rounds. There are some other tweaks — like allowing multiple license holders in a single facility to use the same break rooms and bathrooms — that are generally considered to be industry-friendly.

But the big changes remain down the pipeline. Most notably, there’s the looming July 1 deadline, after which all cannabis products sold legally in California must pass stringent laboratory tests for potency, molds and pesticides, with products that fail testing facing the possibility of being destroyed. There’s an open question as to what will happen to the products left in dispensaries’ inventories that haven’t undergone lab testing. Many dispensaries stockpiled products prior to the new state regulations coming into effect Jan. 1 and

are now lobbying the state to allow them to have those same products — all grown and produced prior to the new regulations taking effect — lab tested to see if they are suitable for sale under the new paradigm, but state regulators have yet to decide the issue.

Chris Walsh, an industry analyst and editorial vice president of MJBizDaily, meanwhile, reported at the Marijuana Business Conference in New Orleans this month that legal cannabis sales in the United States are expected to increase 50 percent this year, jumping to between $8 billion and $10 billion.

And, he added, there’s an employment surge accompanying all these sales, with the industry now employing as many as 160,000 full-time workers — roughly six times the number of coal miners as are currently working in the country. And for those keeping score at home, the United States now has more full-time employees in the cannabis sector than employed librarians or kindergarten teachers.

But Walsh didn’t stop there in his quest to quantify the economic power of the budding cannabis industry. Instead, he noted that cannabis sales revenue was nearly nine times that of Oreo cookies and almost on par with that of Netflix subscriptions. And Walsh prognosticates that with the addition of 2018 recreational sales in California, cannabis could surpass McDonald’s U.S. sales figures this year.

Let’s break this down a bit. According to a 2017 survey by Statista, 5.64 million respondents said they had eaten eight or more 36-cookie packages of Oreos within the last 30 days, which averages out to at least 9.6 cookies a day. In 2017, according to Tech Crunch, Netflix subscribers in the United States watched more than 500 million hours of content a week, or a daily average of about an hour and 23 minutes apiece. McDonald’s, meanwhile, boasts of selling 75 hamburgers a second.

What’s this all mean? Well, it appears if there’s one thing Americans may love more than artificial snack foods, binge watching television series and gorging on fast food, it might just be getting high AF. l Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor.

Business Owner Doxxed Over Art Box Flap

I

n the week since she stood before the Eureka City Council to lament the brightly painted utility box out in front of her business, Molly Green has received a lot of backlash, some from thousands of miles away.

The rift began when Green showed up at her business near Fifth and G streets in Eureka — SCRUB Spa and Event Venue — to find that, without her advance knowledge or approval, the utility box out front had been painted with a bright, whimsical mural titled “Cat Food” that featured a variety of food-shaped felines. A few days later, Green voiced her displeasure to the Eureka City Council, calling the mural a “really large, ugly, poorly done eyesore” and threatening to campaign vigorously against each of the councilmembers unless they did something to make the mural go away.

The Lost Coast Outpost ran a story headlined “Outraged Eureka Business Owner Convinces City to Cover Cat Painting Right Meow” about Green’s heated council comments a couple of days later, detailing her frustration and the city’s subsequent move to paint over and replace the mural.

The post ended up on the front page of Reddit, an American social news aggregation and discussion website, with a note revealing all of Green’s personal contact information. During an interview with the Journal, she played a voicemail from New York in which an unidentified man refers to

her as a “cunt,” “a moron” and “uptight.”

“Congratulations, now everyone in every fucking state knows what a piece of shit you are from California to New York,” he said.

In regard to the public backlash, Green wanted to clarify her position.

“I absolutely am a supporter of local art,” she said. “Yes, I was angry but I don’t think people realize the emotion it takes to get up there and stand up for yourself. Our city officials should be supporting business as well as try to grow the arts community.”

The Box Art project, which is making over utility boxes throughout the city with bright murals by a variety of artists, is part of the city’s Strategic Arts Plan put in place in 2017. The plan focuses on 35 projects designed to improve exposure of, access to and respect for arts and culture in the community by paying local artists to paint murals throughout town, including on utility boxes.

“We want to add a little sunshine to Eureka,” said Community Development Services Director Rob Holmlund.

The Box Art project featured a competitive selection process open to individual artists, or community groups with a designated lead artist, who have “the vision and skills required to complete the project to the highest standards of innovation and technical expertise.” The city’s Arts and Culture Commission reviewed the submitted proposals and selected artists

The Race to Rep the County Seat Two challengers and an incumbent make their cases to represent the Fourth District

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

H

umboldt County’s Fourth Supervisorial District stands apart from the rest. First and foremost, it’s the most urban district in the 4,000 square miles that make up Humboldt County and it encompasses the city of Eureka, where most county services are located and many of the county’s most entrenched problems — from homelessness to drug addiction — are most visible.

Three candidates are currently vying to represent the district for the next four

years. There’s former Eureka Mayor Virginia Bass, who has held the seat since 2010 and is working to fend off two challengers: environmental consultant Dani Burkhart and educator and community organizer Mary Ann Lyons. While Bass has campaigned on her experience and track record, the challengers argue they would bring fresh perspective and new ideas to the board.

The Journal reached out to each by email, asking them to answer a few questions central to the campaign and to fill out a questionnaire giving voters a sense of

16 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, May 24, 2018 • northcoastjournal.com

where they come from, who they are and how they see the world. Check out what they had to say below and make sure to vote June 5.

North Coast Journal: What are the two biggest challenges facing the Fourth District and what are your plans to address them?

Virginia Bass: If I have to list just two, I would choose public safety and housing.

But let’s be honest here, you really can’t separate the challenges our community faces as they are interrelated. Public safety concerns, including issues surrounding homelessness, mental health and addiction, can be better addressed when people have some place to live.

I will continue to bring people together to work toward common goals. I brought a group together from the city of Eureka, the county, public safety and other stakeholders, which met every Thursday at 8 a.m. to talk about ways to effectively address homelessness. One of the outcomes was the formation of the Mobile Intervention Services Team (MIST), which pairs law enforcement with mental health workers.

Jefferson Smith (Mr. Smith Goes to Washington) Who is your favorite real life politician?

It’s a tie between former Humboldt County Supervisors Jimmy Smith and O.H. Bass.

I approached the housing authority and asked it to look at changing the HUD Section-8 voucher process. Formerly only person-based, a portion will be project-based and can be dedicated to individual projects, which makes projects more competitive for funding.

I have also put a spotlight on issues of mental health and addiction. We can’t keep turning a blind eye toward issues and hope they magically go away.

Dani Burkhart: First, I believe the housing crisis and drug addiction are two of the larger challenges facing the Fourth District.

These are multi-faceted issues that will take diverse solutions. I believe the answers we are seeking to many of our issues will come as a result of building a resilient economy and community.

Potential solutions include: a sanctioned and monitored shelter with toilet and trash facilities, life and job skills training, addressing development of housing units and living wage jobs. The Fourth District needs an expansion in access for mental health and addiction care — there are not enough beds in programs for those who need them and virtually no programs for teens or

Dogs or cats? Cats (although I love dogs, too).

What is your favorite hobby? Cooking/ eating What would your superpower be and how would you use it? I would be able to “travel” to the future so that I could bring back and apply all of the solutions to the challenges our community faces, resulting in a community where issues of homelessness, mental health, addiction (I could go on and on) become distant memories.

Dani Burkhart Age? 31 City of residence? Eureka Where did you grow up? I was born in Arcadia, the place Arcata is frequently mistaken for, and I grew up in Elk (Mendocino County) before transferring to HSU as a student.

How long have you lived in Humboldt County? Just slightly under a decade.

Can you please provide a brief education history? College of the Redwoods Fort Bragg, received AA in transfer studies, focused on math and natural sciences, was a tutor and made honor roll. Humboldt State University, bachelor’s of science in environmental science — energy and climate studies with a minor in economics.

dual-diagnosis folks facing addiction. If we can create avenues for breaking the cycle of poverty and addiction, then we create community resiliency which benefits all of our residents.

Mary Ann Lyons: First, homelessness.

Very often this is confused with the criminal element in the Old Town area.

I feel we need stricter measures to deal with the blight of crimes in our county seat. But the actual issue of homelessness is a deeper problem not confined to just the Fourth District. For example, we have more than 1,000 K-12 students who qualify for McKinney-Vento funds due to unstable housing in Humboldt County. This speaks to an incredible lack of affordable housing, the very slow results at the county level over the past eight years to address the lack of coordination between homeless service groups and services, and the lack of teamwork between the cities and county to resolve these issues.

Second, the Fourth District is lacking updated infrastructure. This includes poor roads upkeep, brownfield remediation, housing remediation, lack of affordable housing and reliable internet service. While

Can you please provide a brief work history? Out of high school, I went to work in several restaurants and hotels in the Mendocino area while attending CR in Fort Bragg, usually two or three part-time jobs concurrently. As a student at CR, I worked as a tutor and note-taker for students with learning disabilities, in addition to holding supervisorial positions in hospitality. As a student at HSU, I worked as a research assistant for Humboldt Energy Independence Fund and in the Depot on campus as a student coordinator. I have also worked in retail, customer service, telemarketing, the cannabis industry and nonprofits.

we have received small grants from the EPA to clean up toxic waste sites from past industries, it is not enough. We need to focus on adjusting building codes for our unique area. We need to concentrate on reaching out to business industries like AT&T to follow through on their broken promises and modernize our technologies.

NCJ: What is county government’s largest flaw in responding to residents’ needs and how do you plan to fix it?

Bass: I would say that response times, communication and follow up are areas where we can improve. The size of government and the multiple departments people have to navigate through can be a contributing factor to slow or insufficient response times when people have questions or concerns.

As an example, a person may call regarding a nuisance property in their neighborhood. As a supervisor I reach out to all the potential departments and other agencies to see what courses of action can remedy the situation. Providing a comprehensive Continued on next page »

response can often take a bit of time and the actual plan of action to remedy the situation could be complicated and take a long time from start to finish. I now calendar dates for follow up as well as send myself email reminders through delayed delivery so that I can keep people apprised of progress regarding the issue in question.

Sometimes unrealistic expectations are set and people are not happy with the outcome, so clear communication is important. The sheer amount of emails we receive also plays a part in delay as some end up routed to spam and don’t get discovered as soon as needed.

Burkhart: I believe part of the problem is in the accessibility of our government for normal, working folks. In order to participate in the public discussion, one must take off work to attend the board of supervisors meetings, which is not an option for everyone. Public comments received by email are rarely included in the discussion of the agenda item during the public meeting. We need meetings that are accessible to those who wish to participate in our governance by offering alternative days/times on regular rotation, and making sure we include all public comment in the discussion.

I believe another part of the problem lies with the reception public commenters receive at the meetings from our board

of supervisors. At best, we see polite interest, at worst we have seen language that is unprofessional and is derisive of the commenter. The most recent example can be seen about two hours into Tuesday May 8’s board meeting where Chair Sundberg interacts with constituent [and Journal Publisher] Judy Hodgson. Our electeds need to lead with appropriate behavior in chambers, even if they don’t agree with the speaker, while also reminding their colleagues of that responsibility when they are out of line.

Lyons: There is a consistent lack of communication between the county government and its residents. This is also apparent in interactions with the county government and local city governments. It has been evidenced in civil grand jury reports surrounding our growing homelessness issue.

Most local residents are not fully aware of what is happening with county funds and how decisions are arrived upon. For example, Measure Z funds are by application only. I feel that there was a lack of effort at the county level to explain the process fully using local media outlets, as well as other proactive approaches to allow for a transparent application process. The supervisors’ meetings feel inaccessible to many.

They are held at the county seat which imposes a hardship for distant community members.

How long have you lived in Humboldt County? A couple decades Can you please provide a brief education history? Still learning … but officially, I am proud alumna from Humboldt State with a master’s degree in education and BA in anthropology.

Can you please provide a brief work history? At this time, I am a teacher for K-8th grade students throughout Humboldt County. I spent 13-plus years working for the community at our local food co-op. I worked in every department. I served as the United Food and Commercial Workers shop steward for my fellow co-workers as well as serving on the board of directors as an employee representative. Through the years, I have worked in the social services field as an Aid to Families with Dependent Children worker, court advocate and counselor in a shelter for battered women.

We need outreach coordinators for districts that provide avenues for constituents to share their thoughts and ideas to the supervisor they hired to represent them. I propose to create such positions.

I also propose to create social media avenues of engagement that reflect a positive approachability between supervisors and their constituents.

NCJ: Why are you the right person to represent the Fourth District for the next four years?

Bass: Essentially the board of supervisors runs a $377 million company serving the needs of 136,000 citizens over 4,000 square miles. Having an understanding of systems and processes is helpful in moving forward when addressing some of the harder issues facing our community. It’s great to have ideas but making them reality takes an in-depth understanding of how to move things through the process to completion. I have a proven track record of getting things done.

While I’ve certainly amassed the experience and knowledge to do the job, I bring more to the table than just that. Working 31 years in my family’s restaurant instilled in me the importance of listening to your customers and doing your best to meet their expectations.

Today my customers are the citizens of

this community. While policy is certainly a big part of what I do, at the core, my job is about people. I’m solution-oriented and strive to find answers to help real people solve real problems.

I’m accessible and have an established practice of talking to anyone, especially people who do not agree with me as long as the conversation is respectful. I believe we have more in common than what divides us.

Burkhart: I am the right person for this job if you believe it is time for fresh ideas and new faces in our local governance.

If you would like someone in office who listens without judgment, makes evidence/ data-based decisions and does their research thoroughly, I’m your candidate. If you are ready for someone to step up and be accountable, leading our community away from insolvency and into a sustainable and resilient future, then I’m ready for the job.

I believe we are all ready for representatives who actually represent the whole of the community rather than select interest groups. We are ready to stand together and face our problems head on, being part of solutions and building the community we need to thrive as a whole. We are ready for a community where our most vulnerable citizens are cared for instead of shamed for their circumstances. I’m ready to bring

my experience, passion and integrity to work for those goals. I’m your candidate if you believe we are ready to get to work, together.

Lyons: I am applying for the job of county supervisor for the Fourth District and am asking its citizens to hire me by voting for me. I feel that the Fourth District is searching for a person who represents the diverse population and needs of our area.

I am a well-known community member with a proven track record of standing up for the rights and dignity of others. I have spent my life working toward justice and equality. Whether helping a patron learn about healthy food while they heal, marching together with my neighbors, supporting local issues or teaching my students the meaning of human rights for all — I stand as an advocate for the members of District Four as well as the county at large. I am well educated, believe in inclusive dialogue and have the personality to stand up for the voiceless. I am ready for the job.

he race to represent Humboldt County’s sprawling Fifth Supervisorial District is in full swing, with accusations and hard feelings aplenty.

The campaign pits two-term incumbent and California Costal Commissioner Ryan Sundberg against longtime Humboldt County resident and Mattole Salmon Group Executive Director Steve Madrone.

On the campaign trail, Sundberg has largely touted his experience and track record as Madrone has countered that it’s time for fresh ideas, a more balanced board and a new approach.

While Madrone has repeatedly questioned whether Sundberg has a conflict of interest on cannabis issues, having accepted a swath of campaign donations from the industry, Sundberg has fired back in recent weeks alleging that Madrone is misinformed on the issues or deliberately misleading voters. The hostilities seem to have peaked in a recent article by the Lost Coast Outpost, in which Sundberg accused Madrone of being “racist” in comments critical of a long-planned freeway interchange project south of Trinidad being championed by the Trinidad Rancheria, of which Sundberg is a member. Madrone, Sundberg charged, had not spoken with the Rancheria about the project yet has been quick to condemn it. (Madrone has been endorsed by Karuk and Yurok tribes, while the Hoopa Valley Tribe issued a rare co-endorsement of both candidates.)

the eastern stretches of the county, including Hoopa, Willow Creek and Weitchpec — the Journal asked the candidates to answer a few questions via email to tout their plans and to fill out a questionnaire giving voters a sense of where they come from, who they are and how they see the world. Check out what they had to say below and make sure to vote June 5.

North Coast Journal: What are the two biggest challenges facing the Fifth District and what are your plans to address them?

Steve Madrone: Economic development affects all issues but has been inadequately tended. It is fundamental to affordable housing, recreational and job opportunities for youth and the underemployed, cleaning up our beaches, funding a self-sustaining community forest, contributing to social programs, enhancing tourism, diversifying transportation, reducing crime and increasing safety.

This is why I have an economic development plan for the Fifth District. This plan includes redesigning the existing Vista Point with access off Airport Road for travelers heading north as well as south.

We can use an undeveloped county parcel south of Vista Point to create a “Vista Point Park.” A visitor center would be built using grant funds, encouraging more visitors to pull off the highway for this priceless, sweeping ocean view. Increased visitation could lead to a build out of the Airport Business Park east of Vista Point, as well as to more visitor services and lodging in McKinleyville. Together with building the Town Center, this would lead to more jobs and increased sales.

The cannabis economy must not dominate our communities or be concentrated among a few large producers. We need to protect the small farmers, reward good land stewardship and support a broadbased, small farmer, high quality industry.

Ryan Sundberg: Public safety and cannabis are two of the largest issues facing the Fifth District. Four years ago, public safety was the largest issue and I have worked hard to address this. Working together we passed Measure Z and now have staffed the sheriff’s substation in McKinleyville and opened one in Willow Creek. Prior to this new funding, all of the Fifth District was served by only two deputies who responded out of Eureka.

We now have 12 in McKinleyville and seven in Willow Creek, along with resident deputies in rural communities.

Seventy percent of Humboldt County voted in favor of Proposition 64. We had a tough choice: Do we set our own rules for

cannabis or do we let the state set them for us? I supported establishing our own rules and we began the task of developing an ordinance to address the land use rules. We already had thousands of illegal cultivation sites throughout the county causing significant environmental damage.

My goal is to get rid of the illegal grows and clean up the sites and require that all new operations meet strict environmental standards and the requirements of all state agencies. I am working to see that communities have a say in projects near them.

NCJ: What is county government’s largest flaw in responding to residents’ needs and how do you plan to fix it?

Madrone: The board of supervisors is unbalanced, too narrowly focused on the agenda of the well-connected few. Therefore, it fails to consider a wider scope of possibilities when making decisions, wasting time, money and energy. Examples include the Mercer-Fraser cannabis refineries, the cannabis ordinances that concentrate rather than distribute wealth, the public defender fiasco and appointees to commissions that facilitate sweetheart deals.

Forward thinking and planning, involving all stakeholders, are essential to efficiently run our county. We must be creative in dealing with homelessness and drug addiction recovery programs. We must collaborate with Neighborhood Watch and pay attention to community needs. We must vigorously support single payer, universal healthcare legislation in Sacramento, because universal healthcare would reduce the county’s employee medical costs, increase access to primary care providers and improve mental health and addiction services, resulting in reduced crime and enhanced safety for all.

Indoor commercial cannabis growing must be curtailed in houses and apartments, where it reduces our stock of affordable housing. Nuisance generator grows that light-pollute night skies should be disallowed.

Overall, the board of supervisors and planning commission need to do a better job of listening to the public and being respectful of dissenting opinions.

Sundberg: I believe the most significant challenge is to get input from the hardworking families that do not attend meetings and speak at hearings. When there are controversial issues, we get significant input from those directly involved, yet the people who go about their everyday activities are not aware of things that could affect them. I am increasing my use of social media to outreach with both my

personal pages and community groups like the McKinleyville Community Watch. This is not the answer but it is a start.

My goal is to continue to work in each of our local communities to hear the voice of the people who do not show up at public hearings.

I think our second challenge is to act quickly to address problems. Most of the money we have to spend is limited in its uses and has to be spent in very restricted ways, and many of our needs are outside the limits on those funds. By supporting and passing measures like Measure Z, we have been able to fund public safety increases to offset the funds that the state took away. I believe the answer in the future is working directly with our local residents to find solutions to local needs.

ment that marries economic growth with ecological restoration, bringing stakeholders together to create a livable community, including clean water, popular trails and healthy forests and salmon.

I will appoint people who represent the diversity and interests of all of the community to the McMAC and planning commission. I will maintain regular office hours in the Trinity Valley to expedite appropriate light industrial, forestry and agricultural development. I will open discussion of Trinidad’s traffic and development needs to the entire community, rather than a narrow constituency.

The Humboldt County Democratic Party has endorsed my candidacy because it believes I have the background and policies to best serve the Fifth District. The Yurok, Hoopa Valley and Karuk tribes have endorsed me, as have many labor unions acting on behalf of working families.

I will encourage vibrant light industrial zones to attract and retain innovative entrepreneurs. I will support educational

and recreational youth programs, as well as apprenticeships in the trades. Creative possibilities for our district include opening a tiny housing fabrication operation in the eastern valley, and establishing a McKinleyville Town Center offering walkable, work-live opportunities, and senior and affordable housing.

Sundberg: I was raised in McKinleyville and my family has been here for generations. My wife, daughter and I live in McKinleyville.

One of the most important things to learn to be effective as a supervisor is how to build coalitions, partnerships and working relationships based on mutual respect.

I believe that those relationships give me the ability to help solve problems for the Fifth District. Whether it be road repairs or statewide issues, I have developed the ability to call on people who are able to directly solve a problem.

The other thing I know is that I will promise what I can deliver and in election season candidates make many promises

that sound good but have no reality in being deliverable. I have a very good working relationship based on mutual respect with my fellow board members and working cooperatively has been very successful at accomplishing goals. An individual supervisor has very little power because you need to have the support of your fellow supervisors, which I am proud to say I do.

My position as the North Coast California Coastal Commissioner gives me the ability to address coastal issues that affect our entire region. Because of my good relationships, I was able to save more than 70 jobs in our local oyster industry, which was nearly shut down. I believe my hard work saved Coastal Seafoods’ oyster operations in Humboldt Bay. l

New Tricks

Five Eleven’s chef on the line at Kyoto

@northcoastjournal 22 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, May 24, 2018 • northcoastjournal.com

n the wake of a lunch rush, prep at Masaki’s Kyoto Japanese Restaurant starts anew. Pop music plays as the staff slingshots back and forth behind the counter in the narrow galley kitchen, cold rolling station on one side, gas range and grill at the other and a beefcake calendar open to a shirtless man with star stickers over his nipples on the wall between them. If there is a uniform in this open kitchen, it’s a black T-shirt and a smirk. Somebody calls over an Enrique Iglesias ballad in a swooning voice, “He’s got the voice of an angel!”

They play a lot of Enrique.

A few Old Town blocks away, the restaurant Five Eleven is still closed for renovation following a March 9 kitchen fire that left major smoke damage.

Which is partly why its head chef Josh Wiley is working as a temporary line cook in Kyoto’s kitchen.

Owner Jeni Masaki, finally off her feet for a minute, pours herself a beer at the register. She says it’s not so unusual for local restaurant staff to move around or for the owners to help each other out, passing around resumes, sharing hard-won knowledge and commiserating. “Most of the restaurant owners, we all meet at Cash and Carry and gripe with each other,” Masaki says with a sigh. “That’s what I love about it … I don’t feel like we’re in competition with them — we’re a community of artists and food lovers.”

She says Wiley “didn’t care about the money. He just said, ‘Hey, I’m really bored and I need to work.”

Her husband, Eric, who ran the restaurant as head chef before leaving to become a Humboldt County Sheriff ’s deputy, texted Wiley looking for resumes to fill a spot on the line. Wiley says, “I was like, ‘I can give you a month or something until you find somebody.’ … I just wanted to learn some new skills and have someplace to go every day.”

Without work, he says, “I get all dark and twisted and nobody likes that guy.”

Kyoto seems to have spared him that fate and he’s happy starting at the bottom with a cuisine he admits to knowing little about and doing what he’s told.

Japanese cooking is a world apart

from the French and Italian styles Wiley does at Five Eleven but Masaki knew his knife skills would be more than solid and he’d need no training on breaking down proteins, like whole fish. Plus, she says, “It’s all about the presentation and that’s one thing he knows how to do.”

John Klemm, who’s sporting a shirt that reads “Make Sushi Great Again,” has been teaching Wiley to roll sushi for the past three weeks. “He’s doing all right,” says Klemm with a nod. “He still puts too much rice in his rolls but he’s fast.”

Kyoto has a stable crew, says Masaki.

“Rolling sushi, knife skills — it’s not your run of the mill kitchen job.” Training a newbie on the very basics takes about two months. Mind you, that’s a whole lot faster than the traditional Japanese system, under which a trainee works for five years before he — almost never she — gets to make the rice.

Evangeline Ruiz started at Kyoto 19 years ago, shortly after immigrating from the Philippines. Back then it was still owned by Kyoko Clark and there were no female sushi rollers. Ruiz’s climb up the ladder to day manager and sushi chef came as she filled in for successively more skilled positions, which seems to be the American version of apprenticeship. “I tried quitting,” says Ruiz with a laugh, “but I thought, ‘I’m gonna miss rolling, I’m gonna miss making sashimi.’”

She might miss this crew, too. She narrows her eyes and shoots a grin over the counter at them. “They’re all right.”

“She’s a fucking genius,” says Masaki, scrolling through photos on her phone of Ruiz’s sashimi roses and composed plates of butsugiri.

As Ruiz clocks out, nighttime manager Kris Swan clocks in, taking up his post at the grill and whipping up a vat of tempura batter. He was new to Japanese food when he came over from Cafe Nooner two years ago and recalls the learning curve was steep. “It’s a completely different style of cooking,” he says. And Kyoto’s lineup of specials changes nightly. “The freedom to create stuff,” he says, “is amazing.”

Swan says working with Wiley has been “surprisingly good,” adding, “Normally when you’re trying to teach

an old dog new tricks, it’s not easy.

But he came in like, ‘I don’t know shit.

Teach me.’”

And there’s plenty to learn. The flavor profile is new for Wiley, as is memorizing the extensive menu and, of course, rolling. “I wouldn’t say I’m even proficient at it yet.” Still, he says the Kyoto crew is easier on him than he is on new recruits in his own kitchen. “It’s hard to be tough on the old man,” he says. Working in front of customers is a change, too, especially in such a tight space.

“I prefer intimate,” quips Klemm.

An order comes in and Wiley spreads the rice out on a mat, retouching here and there. Then he lines up the nori, small planks of tuna and avocado before tucking it in and rolling the wooden mat forward and squeezing it carefully in his tattooed fingers. Wiley points at Klemm with a wry smile, saying, “He’s actually good at this. I’m not.”

Klemm huffs and rolls up a bamboo mat before unrolling and re-rolling it, pressing both ends flush against his

hands. He drapes it in thinly sliced avocado and cuts it with practiced ease and speed, and plates each piece in a curved line before reaching for a flower garnish.

It’s unlikely sushi will show up on the menu at Five Eleven when it reopens in a couple of weeks but some flavors and ingredients might find their way into Wiley’s refurbished kitchen since he says, as a chef, you’re always incorporating your experiences into your food wherever you go. “Getting out of your comfort zone and doing something you’re not good at and working at it — it’s kind of good for you,” says Wiley.

Before Wiley can answer what specifically he’ll be taking with him from Kyoto, Swan interjects: “Enrique!”

Wiley shakes his head. “Yeah,” he says, chuckling. “Enrique.” l Jennifer Fumiko Cahill is the arts and features editor at the Journal.

Front Row

Thesis Festival Time Crossing the Vortex at Dell’Arte

By Pat Bitton

frontrow@northcoastjournal.com Chase Perkins, Gabriela Haught and Jacob Timmons in The Hempen.

M

ay is always an exciting month at Dell’Arte. It’s when the multinational class of graduating students stages its final ensemble creations — the culmination of the school’s three-year MFA program. Each of this year’s thesis pieces has been written, performed and directed by the students and brings together Dell’Arte’s signature theater of place with their own cultural backgrounds. It’s a heady mix and produces some thought-provoking work.

This year’s productions more than meet those standards, combining fun with philosophical challenges across a broad landscape of fantasy and culturally relevant content. Here’s just a taste of what you can expect from each of the approximately 45-minute long performances: The Hempen Jig takes us on a strange voyage with a trio of pirates who seem to have lost half their minds as well as half their ship. What remains of the skeletal vessel includes a large barrel, the alcoholic contents of which seem to have been fully absorbed by the crew. A stray hunk of stale bread becomes the centerpiece of an elaborate and fantastical tea party, while a mysterious sea monster snakes out of the depths to join the fun. Lanny (a wonderfully exuberant Gabriela Haught) falls madly in love with the monster’s tentacle, names it Felicity and gives it flowers. But Jib (Chase Perkins, resplendently reptilian as he pole-dances up and down the mast in fur and shimmering blue) and Captain (Jacob Timmons, the essence of discom-

bobulation and somewhat disadvantaged by having two hooks for hands) attempt to slay the beast and save them all from a watery grave. Will love or life triumph? And will the captain go down with his ship?

Cluck, Boom, Bloom explores the potential impact of the biological clock on the world of a rotund red hen (Gaia Mencagli in her most absurdist performance yet), an agile, spirited but often disappointed sparkly pink sperm (the always energetic and smile-inducing Fay Steddum), and a cryptic mouse-like creature (an enigmatic but clearly friendly Matilda Lindström). Egg laying is clearly coming to an end for the flatulent, popcorn-loving hen — a good egg is followed by a bad egg and then … no egg at all? What will the sperm do then?

The hen wants to lay (and eat popcorn) and the sperm wants to fertilize, but what does the mouse creature want? Opinions varied widely among the audience members I quizzed — take along an inquiring mind. This piece raises questions about what fertility means, how we value it, how much it can be controlled and how much is simply a randomized luck of the draw — not to mention the morality of chickens as food-production machines.

Singularity is billed as an “Afro-futuristic drama” that takes place on a far-off planet populated by the descendants of an African diaspora from Earth. The scenery and staging clearly draw heavily on 2001: A Space Odyssey but with strong African overtones, as an exiled warrior (Isaiah Alexander in a tightly drawn portrayal of a powerful

24 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, May 24, 2018 • northcoastjournal.com

mentor/defender) joins forces with his former protegée (an energetic and dynamic Natashia Marshall). In their battle against a threatened alien invasion, they must draw on the wisdom of their ancestors, as well as their advanced technological skills. But can they muster the strength to make the ultimate sacrifice that may save their world?

There’s an interesting level of allegory with today’s historical/political environment that brought to my mind that prescient last line from The Nice’s seminal 1968 recording of Leonard Bernstein’s classic: “America is pregnant with promise and anticipation/ but is murdered by the hand of the inevitable.” #Anomie is a social justice fable for the #MeToo era. It’s staged as a look back at 2018 from some indeterminate time in the future and narrated as an open-mic session by a detached guitarist/emcee (a haunted and monotonal Andre LaRocque). The play is a brutally honest examination of what can happen when social justice warrior John (David Powell in an over-the-top performance that recalls Sir Ian McKellen at his most self-mocking pomposity) forgets that those he believes he is trying to help are real people with real feelings and real lives.

The object (victim?) of his campaign, the closeted Craig (a nuanced, controlled, yet ultimately tragic portrayal by Jeremy Webb) tries in vain to communicate to John that he is not ready to be the poster child for a prototypical men’s liberation movement, while co-emcee and proponent of women’s rights Olive (a sympathetic, protective Elizabeth Hedlund) attempts in vain to ex-

plain to John the selfishness of his actions.

Also featured in this year’s thesis festival is Let Me Out!, an immersive memory experience that will play to select audiences on May 22-23 at 8 p.m. and May 26-27 at 2 p.m. Check www.northcoastjournal.com for more on this unique marriage of theater and role-playing games, in which audience members will be invited to leave the real world behind and step into an imaginative playground where the boundary between audience and performer does not exist and everyone has a role to play.

t’s Memorial Day weekend and the sweet days of Kinetic Madness await all you lucky kiddies by the bay. I’ll be in another bay area missing the sculptured fun but making up for it by celebrating the 97th birthday of a very special lady. So I wish you all a spectacular time behind the magical veil of the redwood curtain and will see you out on the town on the bookend nights of this sacred pre-summer holiday.

Have fun, be safe and if those two things conflict, then lean a little more on the fun.

Thursday Jazz pianist and Grammy-nominated composer Pascal Le Boeuf presents his work at The Sanctuary tonight at 7:30 p.m. ($20, $10 students). Joining him for a recital of his newest piece “Ritual Being” is the Friction Quartet, featuring Arcata High alum Otis Harriel and that’s just right.

Friday There’s a nice pre-race Kinetic kick-off party tonight at the Outer Space at 8 p.m. ($4). It’s all brass music, baby, featuring the marching meters of Bandamonium and LOUD neighbors. Come get a piece of it.

An hour later there are two shows, one in Eureka and one in Redway, perfectly showcasing the aesthetics of their respective citizens. At the Mateel you will find the island reggae tones of Hawaii’s J Boog with similarly aligned acts I-Octane and Westafa ($40, $30 advance).

Meanwhile up at The Siren’s Song, artist Jullia Finkelstein will be doing live paintings while The Bored Again entertains with solo punk stylings and “trash slam poet” Wil Gibson spits something stinky over the greasy grooves of Hollow Down. Come on out and get a little paint or somethin’ on ya ($5).

Saturday While the mighty moving statues of the

Kinetic Grand Championship make their revolutions from pavement to sand in the fog-belt, you can find yourself far from one madding crowd and deep into another scene down in Redway as KMUD celebrates its 31st anniversary with its annual block party at noon (free, but donations to the station are welcome). Acts like That Captain, Ari & Ruby and Back to the Hill share the stage with many more at a birthday party that lasts past the gloaming.

Downriver in Ferndale at 5 p.m., string band The Ukelaliens are throwing a CD release party, benefit show and goulash dinner at the Our Savior’s Lutheran Church (price TBA). Copies of the album will be available to those who donate to The River Life Foundation.

And finally tonight at Humbrews, it’s Soul Party #12, with the usual suspects Red, Jay Morg, Tanasa and special guest DJ Rascue at 9 p.m. ($5). Come cut a rug or parquet floor or whatever with the best vinyl twisters in town.

Sunday The Outer Space presents an evening of performance art, stop motion animation and interactive illustrated storytelling.

7 p.m. ($5). Artist and local treasure Violet Crabtree brings a new panel-animated musical adventure to the stage with her group The Comix Trip. Genderqueer artist Llano River Blue’s sci-fi web series Chenille Stems & the Dream Machine will have a screening and Llano’s band The Sweet Trade will play some tunes. Finally, local artist, model and daring demimonde Ms. Adeveve Glitterstorm will perform some hyper-mutant futuresong version of the beguine or something. Come find out.

Monday Australia and Canada are in the house tonight at the Miniplex. Melbourne’s Carla dal Forno with her detached, deadpan but heavy vocals snake through tight songs of

concentric darkness and flashbangs. She is touring in support of her debut solo album You Know What It’s Like and will likely put on a great show. Opening up from Toronto is Tess Roby, who haunts the magnetic tape reels of the 1980’s dream machines at 8:30 p.m. ($10).

Local metalhead Sam Bryson celebrates his birthday at The Siren’s Song as his band Dullahan gets in on the fun with Oakland metal legends Necrot. Burning Hash and DMT share the smoke as well ($7).

And at the Outer Space, touring solo bass powerhouse CJ Boyd hits the deep notes while dusty swingers Opossum Sun Trail play a post-tour set with guest drum maestro Tavan Anderson from White Manna whacking the sun spurs and goat skins.

Glory Days

Go Muddin’

It rolls, floats and treks around just once a year, but the planning, prepping and giddy anticipation of this Memorial Day weekend juggernaut goes on year-round. The Kinetic Grand Championship, the art/engineering mashup marvel that covers sea, sand, mud and land is here, May 25-28, and dedicated teams are going for the glory, glory. Hallelujah.

This year, the Kinetic fun extends over four days with the addition of the Kinetic Thrills Pageantry Party on Friday, May 25 from 6 to 10 p.m. at the Arcata Community Center (free). You can get a sneak peek of the teams while they entertain you with song, dance, skits and stories. If you behave accordingly (i.e. show up, have fun), organizers may bring it back next year.

Rest up from the extra day of revelry and head to the Arcata Plaza on Saturday, May 26 from 9 a.m. to watch racers take laps around the plaza testing brakes and priming for the noon-ish kickoff when the Rutabaga Queens send them on their merry way. Teams then head to Manila on State Route 255 for the first leg of the race, crossing June’s Dunes before seeing how they fare on Deadman’s Drop at 1 p.m. Wrap up the day with the racers at Halvorsen Park for the Finish Line Party, 1 p.m. (Rutabaga time) to dark.

Sunday, May 27 racers climb back on their horses (or lobsters or chickens or dragons) and cross the bay to climb Loleta Hill, then descend into Fernbridge on Monday, May 28 to cross the finish line in Ferndale. And all along the way, they’ll be exemplifying the words of race founder Hobart Brown: “Adults having fun so children will want to grow up.”

For a complete schedule of events, check www.kineticgrandchampionship.com.

Celebrate community radio and good times with KMUD at the station’s annual Block Party, Saturday, May 26, from noon to 9 p.m. (free, donations gladly accepted). Join the folks at the KMUD studio for a lively day of music, food, drinks and dancing. Plus the station’s biggest music sale. Organizers have dusted off stacks of vinyl and CD treasures waiting for you to rifle through and take home.

There’s plenty of live music, too. Enjoy a healthy dose of bluegrass, folk, rock and reggae performed by local musicians like Ari and Ruby, Savannah Rose, BeTH isBell, Thornbirds, Rebecca Wudarski, Sleepwalker, TransAm Mullet, That Captain and Back to the Hill (for the complete music lineup, visit www.kmud.org).

And bring some extra cash for the variety of vendors on hand — arts and crafts, plants, food and drink. There’s plenty to keep the kids happy at this family-friendly event, especially in the Kids Zone, with face painting, trash art (with Lolo Trash), hula hoop lessons, chalk drawing and more.

Head to Redway, have a great time and help support listener-sponsored community radio. Proceeds go to operating the nonprofit’s station.

Filmland

Franchise in Anti-hero’s Clothing

Deadpool 2 plays outsider, Book Club is one

By John J. Bennett

filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

DEADPOOL 2. We live in a weird, expanding world of sequels. Defined by diminishing returns, they have also become a certainty: Anything that generates revenue on a certain scale will be quickly followed by as many follow-ups as the market will bear. This newly risen reality can be exciting (more of a good thing, and all that) but it can also be just as deflating, dispiriting and exhausting — just like actual reality.

As the calendar fills with new tent poles and next installments of old ones, one can start to lose a sense of the horizon, to feel as though there may soon only be franchises ever onward, a soulless, artless binary drumming us all into homogeneity and complacence, like the ad infinitum pattern of suburb/strip-mall/suburb that has become the American Midwest.

As much as I enjoyed Deadpool (2016) and this, its even-better sequel, I can’t help but include them as part of the problem.

These movies, with their self-awareness and ostensible rule-flouting, are presented as agents of disruption, a force working against the crass commercialism of the modern movie marketplace. And I bought into it at first, seeing Deadpool as I was supposed to: like a good little consumer. The violence, coarse talk and nerd-bait humor worked like a charm, and I celebrated the fact that a movie like it could punch through, succeeding in spite of its obstacles. But there really aren’t any obstacles. The notion of disruption is a fallacy, a marketing ploy as much at play in Silicon Valley fun-time think-tanks as it is in Hollywood marketing meetings.

It’s a device by which vast, many-tendrilled industrial gorgons can recast themselves, or parts thereof, as agents of change or adversaries, thereby infiltrating a part of the market to which they might not have had access. It’s not disruption, it’s deception.

I still prefer Deadpool movies to almost any of the other self-righteous superhero stuff; I’ve just come to see them as part of the same entity. And that entity is sucking the life out of a beautiful and important artform, even as it presents these movies as an offsetting influence.

Perhaps more to the point, Deadpool 2 finds our (anti) hero Deadpool/Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) firmly established as a doer of good deeds by way of hideous violence. He has traveled the globe, dispatching his brand of justice by killing big rooms full of bad guys by various, creative means. Of course, his increased profile presents a significant risk and soon enough the violence visits him at home. Lost in the aftermath of tragedy, fruitlessly attempting to end his own life, Deadpool just wallows in it, at least until Colossus (voiced by Stefan Kapicic) lovingly shakes him by the lapels and recruits him as a reluctant X-Men trainee. The new day job brings Deadpool into contact with a troubled mutant kid named Russell, who prefers the moniker Firefist (Julian Dennison) and has had just about enough of the abuse he’s suffered while confined in an orphanage/conversion center for uniquely abled kids. This in turn brings about a conflict with Cable (Josh Brolin), a semi-robotic super-soldier from the future who harbors a serious beef with young Russell. Deadpool, alive with new purpose, assembles a team to do battle with Cable, spearheaded by the immensely compelling Domino (Zazie Beetz).

Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick return as screenwriters, this time sharing credit with Reynolds, and their comfort with this character and the world he inhabits shows through in a script even more self-assured, smarter and funnier than the first. The plot is tighter, the jokes are elevated and the voices of the characters are firmly in place. This story also has a sense of risk, of higher stakes, that was absent in the original. And director David Leitch (Atomic Blonde, 2017) strips away some of the airier elements, delivering almost nonstop action as satisfying in the close-up fighting as it is in the over-the-top, comic book, throwing-buses-around sequences. It’s all good fun, served with a sense of kindness and excitement (thanks in large part to Reynolds’ performance in a role he seems born for) in equal measure to its large-scale mayhem. The vast majority of the audience will see it for that, enjoy it immensely and hopefully not worry too much about

MINOR.

BOOK CLUB is of a type of movie that is easily dismissed and that’s a problem.

(I’m guilty of it too, so let’s all remain calm.) At a glance, it seems like an easy cash in, a quasi-vanity project for very prominent actors to draw their similarly-aged audience into the theater. That’s not an entirely misplaced notion, except that the movie business is jiggered against these very actors — how many major releases with four female leads over 60 do you remember seeing recently or ever?

By that standard alone we should probably all go buy tickets to Book Club. Fortunately, it’s also a well-observed story about women in a stage of life that is no longer as late as it used to be. And, of course, Candice Bergen, Jane Fonda, Diane Keaton and Mary Steenburgen are consummate pros; they’ve been in this game for a minute and their work hasn’t suffered for it. Their supporting male counterparts aren’t too bad either. PG13. 97M. BROADWAY, MILL CREEK. —John J. Bennett

Legal Notices NOTICE OF PROPERTY TAX DELINQUENCY AND IMPENDING DEFAULT Revenue and Taxation Code Section 3351, 3352 I, John Bartholomew, Humboldt County Tax Collector, State of California, certify as follows: That at close of business on June 30, 2018 by operation of law, any real property (unless previously tax-defaulted and not redeemed) that have any delinquent taxes, assessments, or other charges levied for the fiscal year 201718, and/or any delinquent supplemental taxes levied prior to the fiscal year 2017-18 shall be declared tax-defaulted.

That unless the tax defaulted property is completely redeemed through payment of all unpaid amounts, together with penalties and fees prescribed by law or an installment plan is initiated and maintained; the property may be sold subsequently at a tax sale to satisfy the tax lien.

That a detailed list of all properties remaining tax-defaulted at the close of business on June 30, 2018, and not redeemed prior to being submitted for publication, shall be published on or before September 8, 2018 That information concerning redemption or the initiation of an installment plan of redemption of tax-defaulted property will be furnished, upon request,

by John Bartholomew, Humboldt County Tax Collector at 825 5th Street, Room 125, Eureka, California 95501 (707)476-2450.

I certify or (declare), under penalty of perjury, that the foregoing is true and correct.

John Bartholomew Humboldt County Tax Collector Executed at Eureka, Humboldt County, California, on May 21st, 2018. Published in the North Coast Journal on May 24th, May 31st and June 7th, 2018.

NOTICE OF IMPENDING POWER TO SELL TAX-DEFAULTED PROPERTY Revenue and Taxation Code Section 3361, 3362 Pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code 3691 and 3692.4, the following conditions will, by operation of law, subject real property to the Tax Collector’s power to sell.

1) All property for which property taxes and assessments have been in default for five or more years.

Note: The power to sell schedule for nonresidential commercial property is three or more years of tax-defaulted status, unless the county adopts, by ordinance or resolution, the five-year tax default schedule.

2) All property that has a nuisance abatement lien recorded against it and for which property taxes and assessments have been in default for three or more years.

3) Any property that has been identified and requested for purchase by a city, county, city and county or nonprofit organization to serve the public benefit by providing housing or services directly related to low-income persons and for which property taxes and assessments have been in default for three or more years.

The parcels listed herein meet one or more of the criteria listed above and thus, will become subject to the Tax Collector’s power to sell on July 1, 2018, at 12:01 a.m., by operation of law. The Tax Collector’s power to sell will arise unless the property is either redeemed or made subject to an installment plan of redemption initiated as provided by law prior to close of business on the last business day in June. The right to an installment plan terminates on the last business day in June, and after that date the entire balance due must be paid in full to prevent sale of the property at public auction.

The right of redemption survives the property becoming subject to the power to sell, but it terminates at close of business on the last business day prior to the date of the sale by the Tax Collector.

All information concerning redemption or the initiation of an installment plan of redemption will be furnished, upon request, by John Bartholomew, Humboldt County Tax Collector, 825 5th Street, Room 125, Eureka, CA 95501, (707)476-2450.

The amount to redeem, including all penalties and fees, as of June 2018, is shown opposite the assessment/parcel number and next to the name of the assessee.

PARCEL NUMBERING SYSTEM EXPLANATION The Assessor’s Parcel/Assessment Number (APN/ASMT), when used to describe property in this list, refers to the Assessor’s map book, the map page, the block on the map, if applicable, and the individual parcel on the map page or in the block. The Assessor’s maps and further explanation of the parcel numbering system are available in the Assessor’s office.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should under− stand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the prop− erty. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorders office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this infor− mation. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed or trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be

Homework: Each of us has a secret ignorance. Can you guess what yours is? What could you do about it?

freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): A critic described Leonardo da Vinci’s painting the “Mona Lisa” as “the most visited, most written about, most sung about, most parodied work of art in the world.” It hasn’t been sold recently, but is estimated to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Today it’s kept in the world-renowned Louvre museum in Paris, where it’s viewed by millions of art-lovers. But for years after its creator’s death, it enjoyed little fanfare while hanging in the bathroom of the French King Francois. I’d love to see a similar evolution in your own efforts, Aries: a rise from humble placement and modest appreciation to a more interesting fate and greater approval.

The astrological omens suggest that you have more power than usual to make this happen in the coming weeks and months.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): These days, many films use CGI, computer generated imagery. The technology is sophisticated and efficient. But in the early days of its use, producing such realistic fantasies was painstaking and time-intensive. For example, Steven Spielberg’s 1993 film Jurassic Park featured four minutes of CGI that required a year to create. I hope that in the coming weeks, you will summon equivalent levels of oldschool tenacity and persistence and attention to detail as you devote yourself to a valuable task that you love. Your passion needs an infusion of discipline. Don’t be shy about grunting.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): On Feb. 17, 1869, Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleyev had an appointment with a local cheese-making company to provide his expert consultation.

But he never made it. A blast of inspiration overtook him soon after he awoke, and he stayed home to tend to the blessed intrusion. He spent that day as well as the next two perfecting his vision of the periodic table of the elements, which he had researched and thought about for a long time. Science was forever transformed by Mendeleyev’s breakthrough. I doubt your epiphanies in the coming weeks will have a similar power to remake the whole world, Gemini. But they could very well remake your world. When they arrive, honor them. Feed them.

Give them enough room to show you everything they’ve got.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Ninety-five percent of your fears have little or no objective validity. Some are delusions generated by the neurotic parts of your imagination. Others are delusions you’ve absorbed from the neurotic spew of other people’s imaginations. What I’ve just told you is both bad news and good news. On the one hand, it’s a damn shame you feel so much irrational and unfounded anxiety. On the other hand, hearing my assertion that so much of it is irrational and unfounded might mobilize you to free yourself from its grip.

I’m pleased to inform you that the coming weeks will be an excellent time to wage a campaign to do just that. June can and should be Fighting for Your Freedom from Fear Month.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): During the next four weeks, I’ll celebrate if you search for and locate experiences that will heal the part of your heart that’s still a bit broken. My sleep at night will be extra deep and my dreams extra sweet if I know you’re drumming up practical support for your feisty ideals. I’ll literally jump for joy if you hunt down new teachings that will ultimately ensure you start making a daring dream come true in 2019. And my soul will soar if you gravitate toward the mind-expanding kind of hedonism rather than the mind-shrinking variety.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Everyone has a unique fate that’s interesting enough to write a book about. Each of us has at least one epic story to tell that would make people cry and laugh and adjust their thoughts about the meaning of life. What would your saga be like? Think about what’s unfolding right now, because I bet that would be a ripe place to start your meditations.

The core themes of your destiny are currently on vivid display,

with new plot twists taking your drama in novel directions. Want to get started? Compose the first two sentences of your memoir.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Dear Oracle: I find myself in the weird position of trying to decide between doing the good thing and doing the right thing. If I opt to emphasize sympathy and kindness, I may look like an eager-to-please wimp with shaky principles. But if I push hard for justice and truth, I may seem rude and insensitive.

Why is it so challenging to have integrity? – Vexed Libra.” Dear Libra: My advice is to avoid the all-or-nothing approach. Be willing to be half-good and half-right. Sometimes the highest forms of integrity require you to accept imperfect solutions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You have waited long enough to retaliate against your adversaries. It’s high time to stop simmering with frustration and resentment. Take direct action! I suggest you arrange to have a box of elephant poop shipped to their addresses. You can order it here: tinyurl.com/ElephantManure. JUST KIDDING! I misled you with the preceding statements. It would in fact be a mistake for you to express such vulgar revenge. Here’s the truth: Now is an excellent time to seek retribution against those who have opposed you, but the best ways to do that would be by proving them wrong, surpassing their accomplishments, and totally forgiving them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Marketing experts say that motivating a person to say yes to a big question is more likely if you first build momentum by asking them smaller questions to which it’s easy to say yes. I encourage you to adopt this slant for your own purposes in the coming weeks. It’s prime time to extend invitations and make requests that you’ve been waiting for the right moment to risk. People whom you need on your side will, I suspect, be more receptive than usual — and with good reasons — but you may still have to be smoothly strategic in your approach.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I bet you’ll be offered at least one valuable gift, and possibly more. But I’m concerned that you may not recognize them for their true nature. So I’ve created an exercise to enhance your ability to identify and claim these gifts-in-disguise. Please ruminate on the following concepts: 1. a pain that can heal; 2. a shadow that illuminates; 3. an unknown or anonymous ally; 4. a secret that nurtures intimacy; 5. a power akin to underground lightning; 6. an invigorating boost disguised as tough love.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When I was a kid attending elementary schools in the American Midwest, recess was a core part of my educational experience. For 45 minutes each day, we were excused from our studies so we could indulge in freeform play — outdoors, if the weather was nice, or else in the gymnasium. But in recent years, schools in the U.S. have shrunk the time allotted for recess. Many schools have eliminated it altogether. Don’t they understand this is harmful to the social, emotional and physical health of their students? In any case, Aquarius, I hope you move in the opposite direction during the coming weeks. You need more than your usual quota of time away from the grind. More fun and games, please! More messing around and merriment! More recess!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): For many years, actor Mel Blanc provided the voice for Bugs Bunny, a cartoon character who regularly chowed down on raw carrots. But Blanc himself did not like raw carrots. In a related matter, actor John Wayne, who pretended to be a cowboy and horseman in many movies, did not like horses. And according to his leading ladies, charismatic macho film hunk Harrison Ford is not even close to being an expert kisser. What about you, Pisces? Is your public image in alignment with your true self? If there are discrepancies, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to make corrections.
