In Remembrance of the King

Trade Winds

Editor: Seeing your Bluesman on the cover (“Buddy’s Blues,” July 13, 2017) took me back to a time when my wife and I ran a record store in G’Ville. Muddy Waters passed and we wrote this obituary, after a few words from the man himself.

Muddy first. “When I sing the blues, when I’m singing the real blues, I’m singing what I feel. Some people maybe want to laugh, maybe I don’t talk so good and don’t understand, you know? But when I sing the blues it comes from the heart.

From right here in your soul, and if you singing what you really feel it come out all over. It ain’t what you saying, it pours out of you. Sweat running down you face.”

This was April 30, 1983, when Muddy passed.

I then wrote, “Muddy Waters. He was King of the Blues. Most dignified man I’ve ever seen. Gave the Rolling Stones their name, and much of their inspiration. Never bent a knee to the marketplace. At age 65, he was still the top Rooster, and I cried when I heard the news.”

Felt like sharing.

What you may not know is that we have experienced one eclipse this year already, this one having just been completed in Washington, D.C., where the moon of denial had been obscuring the sun of truth about possible pro-Trump Russian influence on the 2016 presidential election

(NCJ Daily, June 22). Previous revelations concerning Attorney General Jeff Sessions, national security adviser Michael Flynn and the Comey-Trump conversations had given a hint that there may have been a sun of truth hiding behind this moon.

But now we have the previously secret series of Donald Trump Jr. e-mails from early June of 2016. They show that Trump Jr. was eager to meet with a Russian attorney who said she could provide some dirt on probable Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Soon after, he along with then campaign manager Paul Manafort and current presidential adviser Jared Kushner, did indeed meet with one or more Russians at Trump Tower overtly to learn the dirt. So it now appears that the moon of denial has finally moved away leaving the sun of truth exposed for all of us to see.

And who knows, perhaps this exposure may even cause some sunburn-induced

Tsunami warning system rides out budget

By Kimberly Wear kim@northcoastjournal.com

W

hen an earthquake that struck a string of remote islands off Russia was revised up to a magnitude-7.7 on July 17, the National Tsunami Warning Center issued a tsunami advisory for parts of Alaska.

Several updates were sent out over the next hour from the remote monitoring post in Palmer, Alaska, until readings came in from a network of sensor-laden buoys strung across the Pacific Ocean that allowed the all-clear to be sounded.

No one was in danger from a tsunami in that particular case, but the warning system that has undoubtedly saved lives and prevented millions of dollars in property damage in the past has been sitting in a hazard zone of its own in recent months.

President Donald Trump has proposed shuttering one of the nation’s two warning centers, cutting the staff that stands watch 24 hours a day by 40 percent, and ending funding for the deep-sea monitoring system that provides real-time information on a tsunami’s movements.

An example of a Deep-ocean Assessment and Report of Tsunamis (DART) buoy.

The savings from those cuts amount to a proverbial drop in the bucket of his overall $4.1 trillion spending plan, which the administration notes comes with “tough choices.”

For example, about $12 million is needed for the network of floats attached to sensors set on the ocean floor that send warning center staff immediate data, allowing them to more accurately predict when and where a tsunami will hit — as well as if the coast is clear.

Just as important, the expanded data system also helps prevent unnecessary evacuations — something that happened in Hawaii in 1994 — that can not only result in a devastating economic toll but also erode confidence in the system.

“They are what can really make the difference as far as turning that switch off or on,” says Humboldt State geology professor Lori Dengler, who has dedicated her professional career to educating coastal communities about earthquake and tsunami dangers.

Closer to home, the warning system was on full display in March of 2011, when the sounds of tsunami sirens blared along the North Coast and residents were evacuated from low-lying areas in advance of surges sent to our shores by a magnitude-9.1 earthquake that wrought havoc in Japan.

It was the sensors on those buoys, Dengler says, that gave emergency services officials confidence in predicting an impending tsunami, leading them to ask the Crescent City fleet to empty the harbor, which was soon destroyed by the surge.

“As a result, they were able to continue their livelihood,” Dengler says, adding that “just from the savings in 2011, it paid for itself in terms of prevention of loss of life and allowing people to save their boats.”

Last week, the House Appropriations Committee rejected Trump’s proposal to gut the warning system that guards the West Coast from destructive waves generated by quakes from thousands of miles away. According to the committee’s report, the Commerce, Justice, Science and “It’s irresponsible Related Agencies Appropriation’s to the point Bill passed on July 13 includes of recklessness a recommended allotment of nearly $973 milto propose lion for National Weather Service cutting a program operations and programs.

That includes like this.” funding for the two tsunami — Jared Huffman warning centers and the buoys, along with $6 million in community grants for education and outreach.

North Coast Congressman Jared Huffman calls the recommendation to reinstate the funding “good news.”

“It’s irresponsible to the point of recklessness to propose cutting a program like this,” he says, noting there is a bipartisian coalition in support of the system. “I’m glad, on the House side at least, we seem to be holding the line.”

The committee’s recommended funding level is $37 million more than the administration’s suggestion, with the committee citing the need to “maintain critical capabilities to provide weather forecasts and warnings.”

“The Committee does not adopt the proposed reduction of the Tsunami Warning Program,” the report states.

Dorie Lanni, who oversees the Humboldt County Office of Emergency Services, say Trump’s proposed cuts to the tsunami program would come with risks that just don’t pencil out.

“A major earthquake in Alaska could generate a tsunami that could reach Humboldt County in just a few hours, leaving little time to evacuate the entire north coast,” Lanni writes. “Closing the warning center responsible for issuing critical, time-sensitive warnings to millions of coastal residents and visitors will not be worth the cost savings during our next catastrophic distant source tsunami event.”

But the threat of funding cuts has not been completely lifted quite yet.

The Senate has its own appropriation committee to set program level allocations and both chambers of Congress need to pass the spending blueprints before sending them back to the president for his signature.

“Every non-defense discretionary item, which this is, is at risk,” Huffman says, adding House Republicans are looking to put as much money into defense spending as possible.

Dengler says she doesn’t see the Senate putting the cuts back in. Tsunamis, after all, know no party and tsunami warning programs have long enjoyed bipartisan support, she noted.

The decision by the House Appropriations Committee to back off the cuts, she says, was really an example of the power of constituents making their voices heard.

Sometimes, Dengler notes, the tendency can be to resort to the view that if a federal program is important enough to certain states — in this case those vulnerable to tsunamis — then those states can pay for it.

But, just as they don’t play politics, tsunamis also don’t “pay attention to state boundaries.”

“You very much need to have not only a national, but an international approach to tsunamis, so we’re all on the same page,” Dengler says for an effective public safety system to work.

While much of the media attention in recent weeks has been focused on the buoy network and cuts to the warning centers, Dengler notes another vital piece of the puzzle was also on the chopping block.

That came in the form of $6 million in grants — also saved by the appropriations committee — that help coastal communities pay for emergency drills and tsunami mapping, as well as education and outreach.

“There’s no point in buying the system

if you don’t have a user’s manual,” she says.

With the last local tsunami of note hitting back in 2011, Dengler says memories can be short and those programs are paramount in keeping a community well prepared.

The fact of the matter is, she says, long distance tsunamis are not the region’s biggest threats.

The main danger lurking off our coastline is a ticking time bomb known as the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a 1,000-

mile megathrust fault which is capable of producing not just a monumental quake but a tsunami that could hit the coast in minutes.

While it’s important that people have confidence in the warning system, it’s also important that they know how to evacuate themselves from tsunami hazard zones in the case of strong, sustained shaking.

The educational message is not meant to be frightening but empowering.

“We have this situation, and we can

do something about it, and what you know can make you and your family safe,” Dengler says.

The goal, she notes, is that “everybody lives.” l Kimberly Wear is the assistant editor and a staff writer at the Journal. Reach her at 441-1400, extension 323, or kim@ northcoastjournal.com. Follow her on Twitter @kimberly_wear.

Week in Weed

Stay Grounded

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

C

an we all slow our collective roll just a little bit?

I know weed is now legal in the Golden State, with new businesses and products popping up at a Whack-A-Mole pace, but some of us are clearly getting a bit carried away. This is a notion that’s been nagging at me for some time but which came into startling clarity last week in the form of 12 individually-packaged one pound bags of Humboldt’s finest allegedly pulled from the luggage of 36-year-old Michael Mogensen by a Transportation Security Administration official at the California Redwood Coast-Humboldt County Airport.

Now many news outlets had a bit of fun with the story — especially the part about Mogensen being allowed to board his flight after sheriff ’s deputies seized the marijuana, wrote him a citation and referred his case on to the FBI and DEA — but it also illustrates that some are having trouble traversing this new world order. With that in mind, here’s a quick primer on what’s at

stake when you bring weed into an airport.

First and foremost, we should start with what Proposition 64 actually does. It makes it legal to possess up to one ounce of pot. Possessing 192 times that amount — as Mogensen allegedly did — is still illegal for anyone without a commercial license from the state or a medical recommendation. That’s an easy one.

But what cannabis enthusiasts should expect when they interface with TSA and airport security is a bit more complicated.

A co-worker — who incidentally doesn’t imbibe the sticky icky — recently returned from a journalism conference in Portland, happy to report that she’d brought back a niftily packaged pre-rolled joint because, well, they were giving them away as conference swag. (Yes, we have officially taken things way too far.) Plus, she said she didn’t see any risk in boarding a plane in one legalized state and landing in another.

So just what is the legality of flying with weed?

Well, it turns out the TSA caused quite

a stir a few months back on this very topic when a rogue intern or a software glitch, depending on whom you believe, switched its frequently-asked-questions page to indicate medical marijuana was OK to bring in checked or carry-on luggage. It, in fact, is not, and the TSA page has been corrected appropriately.

The plain fact of the matter is that secure airport areas beyond TSA checkpoints are under federal control, and the feds still consider cannabis a Schedule 1 substance, no matter the state. That makes it illegal to fly with marijuana. Period. But let’s be honest, it’s also illegal to jaywalk, right?

The consensus on the subject seems to be that TSA is quite busy looking for bombs and terrorists. It’s not the DEA and could largely care less about your pot.

Agency protocol states that a TSA agent who finds marijuana in someone’s luggage is to call in local law enforcement. In Humboldt’s case, that means the sheriff’s office.

In 2015, a couple of years after Colorado legalized recreational weed, TSA officials stopped 29 people for possession of marijuana at the Denver International Airport, according to a story in the New York Times. Each time, the local police asked the flier to dispose of the pot — either by throwing it out or taking it

home — and all 29 complied. Not a single citation was issued.

In most online threads, the consensus seems to be that if you are flying either within a legal state or from one to another where cannabis is legal, it’s safe to bring a bit of pot with you. Just bring a sensible, legal amount and pack it discreetly without doing something stupid that’s sure to draw the attention of TSA — like hollowing out your deodorant and sticking your joints inside. And if you’re a medical patient, you should include a copy of your recommendation with your weed wherever you pack it.

Most agree that the worst that will happen is an ornery official finding your stash and alerting an ornery peace officer who will tell you to get rid of your weed before flying. But know that you are breaking the law, which leaves you at the mercy of bureaucratic discretion — which is never the most comfortable place to be.

But, please, whatever you do, don’t check 12 pounds of weed in your luggage.

That almost assuredly will never end well. l Thadeus Greenson is the news editor at the Journal. Reach him at 442-1400, extension 321, or thad@ northcoastjournal.com. Follow him on Twitter @thadeusgreenson.

A Buckin’ Good Time

Squireses Take G Street Neighbors Back to Court

A

few weeks after residents along a stretch of G Street in Eureka received letters in June announcing they had won their small claims case against the city’s most notorious landlords, another arrived in the mail.

The case was going back to court.

The landlords, Floyd and Betty Squires, had appealed Judge Timothy Cissna’s ruling that found the couple failed to properly manage two buildings on the street and awarded neighbors varying amounts in damages.

In his decision, Cissna said there was “substantial, credible evidence” to show the residences at 1625 and 1635 G St. qualified as “nuisances.”

But, under the small claims appeal process, all the Squireses needed to do was pay a fee and fill out a form to be granted what is called a “trial de novo” before a different judge in a bid to throw out the thousands of dollars in damages Cissna had distributed among the 20 neighbors.

“The other trial just gets pitched out, like it never happened,” says Ron Kuhnel, who lives directly across the street from the problem properties in a majestic Queen Anne Colonial Revival-style Victorian built in 1908.

Kuhnel and his wife, who painstaking-

ly restored their home, had each been awarded $4,500 of the $10,000 possible in small claim cases.

On July 10, the neighbors found themselves back in the Humboldt County Courthouse where they had spent three weeks in May representing themselves in the small claims trial that saw dozens of witnesses and several city officials, including Eureka Police Chief Andrew Mills, take the stand.

This time the case will land in front of Judge Dale Reinholtsen — who also happens to be presiding over the Squireses’ six-year-long legal saga with the city of Eureka over conditions at 26 of their properties, including the two on G Street.

Reinholtsen granted the neighbors’ request for an extension and a new hearing is now set for Oct. 2. And unlike the small claims trial, the legal action is now in civil court, meaning the neighbors and the Squireses can bring in attorneys to argue their case.

There’s also a catch.

While securing the new hearing is a relatively simple procedure, if a judge finds the Squireses’ appeal was “intended solely to harass or delay the other party or encourage the other party to abandon his or her claim,” he or she would have the discretion to award the G Street neighbors an additional judgement of $1,000 in attor-

How the Humboldt Wildlife Care Center keeps wild animals wild

By Linda Stansberry Photos by Mark McKenna

12 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, July. 20, 2017 • northcoastjournal.com

he patient lets out a low, chittering growl, a warning. Lucinda Adamson reaches down and lifts him up onto the scale, her thick leather gloves protecting her from the juvenile raccoon’s sharp teeth and claws. She examines the space between the critter’s back legs to confirm his sex, then sets him back into the carrier as Jeanne Gunn, another volunteer at the Humboldt Wildlife Care Center, notes each animal’s weight. The kits are about 4 months old, close to the time they’ll be released into the woods. Until then, the mission of the center staff is threefold: Keep them alive, keep them healthy and — perhaps most challenging of all — keep them wild.

The Humboldt Wildlife Care Center, established in 1979, operates under the umbrella of another rescue agency, Bird Ally X. The two organizations merged in 2014. According to the nonprofit’s website, the center treats more than 1,000 patients a year on a shoestring budget and a quarter-acre of land. Two welded-together double-wide trailers serve as the office, clinic and convalescent hospital.

The center is surrounded by wooden outbuildings that house the animals preparing for reentry into the wild. This is not a petting zoo: The buildings are closed to observation, only entered by volunteers for cleaning, with food mostly served through small doors. On the wall of the building’s main room is a patient list on a large dry-erase board, with the location where each creature was found, the conditions under which it was found (abandoned, orphaned, injured), its vital statistics, its care and feeding schedule. Asked if we can observe the baby skunks, the orphaned coyote, the pen of small, freckled fawns, Monte Merrick, co-director of the center, responds with a calm smile and an unequivocal, “No.” “They need a healthy fear of humans,” says Merrick. The raccoons will soon go into boxed enclosures. When the staff need to clean, they will rap on the top of the box to flush them out of hiding. This process will be repeated when the boxes are set out in the wild, sending the kits scattering into the bushes, hopefully to find a home on their own. They will not be followed, tagged or monitored. They will not stop and deliver a last, longing look toward their human saviors in the manner of a melodramatic children’s movie. Merrick and all the others who fed the kits from the time they were tiny, palm-sized infants drinking from eye droppers up until the time they began independently wolfing down pungent dishes of fish and berries, will never know what became of their wards. This isn’t to say they don’t care.

“This time, when we’re weighing them, it might be the last time I’ll be able to look at their faces and know them as individuals,” says Merrick. “But this is how we love them. It’s the same affection you feel for anything you love.”

Merrick and his staff follow a code of ethics

Shar Parada feeds a raven fledgling at the Humboldt Wildlife Care Center. set forth by the National Wildlife Rehabilitators Association, which includes the coda that “all releasable animals should be maintained in a wild condition and released as soon as appropriate.” This is key to rehabilitators “respecting the wildness and maintaining the dignity of each animal in life and in death.”

So there is no cooing over their charges, not much talking at all, so the small beasts won’t become accustomed to human voices. There is no cuddling, no petting, no baby opossums scurrying adorably underfoot. There is medical care and food, and endless enclosures to clean. As Merrick explains how real rehabilitation is nothing like The Yearling, volunteers walk briskly up and down the hallway with syringes and charts like charge nurses on a tight schedule. It’s late spring, baby season, and with five fawns, 23 raccoons, 12 opossums, nine skunks, dozens of birds, one fox, one coyote and a baby brown bat to care for, there’s little time for sentimentality.

But still … When Shar Parada, a zoology student at Humboldt State University, leads us into the room where the baby raven is awaiting its food, his box is covered with a soft baby blanket. And when the raven, which is bony and wrinkled and covered sparsely by prickly pinfeathers, a creature that looks like a cross between a dinosaur and a rotting banana, opens its wide pink maw and utters a squeaky, burbling croak, everyone lets out an involuntary murmur of adoration. The raven, leaning back its head and gobbling down the food Parada puts in his throat with a pair of forceps, stops eating long enough to scoot its naked backside over the edge of his felt-lined nest and take a large, runny dump. Parada beams.

“Isn’t that cool, how he knows how to lavage outside of his nest?” she says, no small hint of parental affection in her voice.

A great deal of the center’s patient load is comprised of birds — an owl injured in a roadway, barn swallows whose nests were hosed off the eaves of a house, songbirds dragged in by someone’s cat. As with the rest of the animals, they require constant care. In the aviary, a small building with a netted doorway to prevent escapes, a nest of swallow hatchlings is ensconced in a small side enclosure. Intern Marina McWhirter sticks food down their gullets as they sound a refrain of need. These babies came into town on a truckload of hay. In the main area, an orphaned finch and a swallow with head injuries flit from branch to branch.

McWhirter smiles as the finch divebombs her and scolds, swooping to take food from forceps in between reminding her that she’s unwelcome.

“It’s good to see them want to feed on their own,” says McWhirter. This is her fourth day working at the center. Like Parada, she is a zoology student, minoring in psychology.

Merrick says the finch’s behavior is an indication he may soon be ready to fly away.

“One of the fantastic aspects of birds is … one day, a switch goes off and they don’t need you anymore,” he says. Also at the center, housed in the octagonal area Merrick calls the “octaviary,” are a Steller’s jay that came in as a nestling and a crow from Fort Dick with a neurological disorder.

Merrick refers to himself as “one of the rare people doing this work that actually likes to talk to other humans.” Eloquent, quick-witted, passionate, with a wild mop of curly hair and laugh lines etched at the corners of his expressive face, he began work as a wildlife rehabilitator later in life.

Monte Merrick discusses how he he got into wildlife rehabilitation.

Carissa ran aground on the Oregon coast, spilling 70,000 gallons of fuel.

Merrick, watching coverage of the spill on television, was captivated by a rugged-looking man interviewed about his efforts to rescue sea birds, around 3,000 of which were killed in the spill. The station described him as a wildlife rehabilitator.

Merrick turned to his then-partner.

“You can be a wildlife rehabilitator?” he asked. A series of chance meetings and volunteer work brought him to his current position. The founder of Bird Ally X, Merrick is most interested in oil spill rehabilitation, although there are few opportunities to do that kind of work.

None of his various careers has been his life’s work, he says. Merrick is first and foremost a poet. In the course of our interview, he quotes Ralph Waldo Emerson and Joan Didion, and debates the connotation of the word “imprint.” Animals don’t “imprint” on us from birth the way it’s been described, he insists. They may habituate, but who knows?

“We don’t even know the inner psychology of our own spouses,” he says.

How, then, would we presume to know what’s going through the mind of a baby opossum or an injured fox?

The work is humble and seems to suit him. It doesn’t match the image of the man he saw striding across the oilstreaked beach in 1999, but it’s rewarding in its own way.

“That guy, he looked heroic. I’m not heroic,” he says. “There’s no glory in this.

Well, maybe some personal glory. Not many people know what a mallard’s

tongue feels like.”

He gets a far-off look in his eyes as he says this.

Almost all of the animals that end up at the clinic come as the result of human cruelty or human carelessness, Merrick says. Roughly half are euthanized upon arrival due to irreparable injuries. Others beat the odds, sometimes miraculously.

Last week, a turkey vulture traveled from Willits to Eureka in the grill of a motorist’s car after being struck on U.S. Highway 101. The drivers of the car were posing for pictures with the injured and stunned creature in the Co-op parking lot when a good Samaritan stopped and discovered the bird was still alive. It was extremely lucky, Merrick says, and began responding to treatment immediately. Other creatures, the gull with its wing torn off, the opossum with the fractured skull, find mercy on the operating table that they might not find if left on the side of the road or in a backyard.

More often than not, the humans who turn over animals to Merrick’s care have good intentions, like the mother who brought in a nest of barn swallows after her son insisted. His mother thought that caring for them would be a good learning opportunity for her kid, she said, but they were failing. The boy was in tears when they surrendered them, saying that he had told his mother they needed more professional care.

Merrick is no stranger to the impulse.

As a child growing up in New Jersey, he once tried to keep a drawer full of squirrels alive by feeding them cow’s milk.

They died one by one, leaving an indelible impression on him.

“People are, by and large, good,” says Merrick, saying that he generally holds his tongue when people bring in baby animals that were most likely not abandoned, just left for a spell while their moms went off to forage. “We really hate to smack compassion.”

Still, each one of those babies has been permanently separated from its parents, the entities that offer the best chances of survival. Fawns are particularly vulnerable to this disruption. In the spring, they’re often left to hide in the tall grass as the does graze, and humans take them home assuming they’ve been abandoned. In the first 30 days of their lives they’re susceptible to habituation.

The staff feed them using a bottle rack inserted through a small, rectangular door on the side of the pen. Only the tips of their tiny noses are visible, so they cannot see humans and associate their presence with food. They’ll be returned to where the rehabilitationists know there are existing deer herds, in Big Lagoon or Southern Humboldt, but whether they’ll actually find their place in a herd of strangers is impossible to know.

Much of what the team does is interventionist in nature. A community member calls, saying there’s a nest of skunks under his or her house, or a raccoon eating the dog’s food. This is Merrick’s chance to prevent a family from being broken up.

animals wandering around are if they have babies,” he says. “We try to peacefully resolve human wildlife conflicts.”

People often think that using a humane trap to catch and release an animal in the wild is, well, humane. But Merrick says it’s anything but.

“I mean, I’d love to be picked up and set in Berlin, but that’s not good for the animals,” he says. A raccoon or opossum moved to unfamiliar territory will probably die and, more often than not, leave a nest of babies behind to starve. The kindest thing to do, he says, is to wait it out until the babies are mobile and the family will probably relocate on its own.

Along with day-to-day prevention, intervention and rescue, the center also tries to offer educational and outreach opportunities. Merrick says he would like the center to eventually become a destination for people interested in rehabilitation. But between the constant work and the small budget (surviving off $120,000 a year works out to roughly $100 to spend on each animal), there isn’t enough time to build it up to the level he’d like to see.

He still manages to keep a blog going on the website. It’s full of short, enthusiastic vignettes about paralyzed foxes, recuperating bats and dramatic mallard rescues.

As one would expect from a poet, the posts are both pithy and narratively riveting. A recent piece about orphaned baby skunks includes a suggested musical track to accompany the reading, Cornell Dupree playing Joe Zawinul’s “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy.”

Also included in HWCC’s scope and

mission is advocacy, although this has proven challenging in the past.

“I mean, if it’s Aleutian geese or beef ranchers, the beef ranchers are going to win,” says Merrick. “We do spend time educating people who don’t like us. We’re like the Red Cross. We don’t pick sides.”

Some animals, mostly non-natives like the Eurasian red fox, are ineligible for rehabilitation under California statutes. Opossums, once considered to be imported from Mexico, have seen a status revision in recent years. Due to their large litter sizes and the tendency of the marsupials to dart across rural roads, the center sees a lot of opossums.

“Every time a mom gets hit, our caseload jumps by 12,” says Merrick.

While they get a bad rap, opossums are rather fascinating critters. They’re attentive mothers and they eat ticks. Every year, the center admits around 50 babies, pulled from the pouches of their dead mothers.

Many of the fawns, too, were found next to the corpses of their mothers on the side of the road.

“They’re traumatized,” says Merrick.

And you can hear in his tone, again, that worry and affection. The animals the team cares for, they don’t get cute names or collars or strokes on the head. But they get this particular brand of love, the kind that will allow them to walk away from their saviors without a backward glance. ● Linda Stansberry is a staff writer at the Journal.

t was 1994, and I was 10 years old and hungry. It’s not as if there was no food in camp. We definitely had hot dogs and beans and such, but I never was too much into that kind of camp cuisine.

My dad, Hunter, was always a champion of catch-and-cook meals. In fact, when all of the other dads in our outdoors group (The Trailblazers) were cooking macaroni and cheese from a box, my dad would be making clam sauce spaghetti with sun dried tomatoes. I know he did it because we were, and still are, hardcore “foodies,” but he also loved making gourmet food that made everyone else in camp jealous.

That evening in the early 1990s, Hunter had an emergency call that he could not ignore. He asked me and my older brother Justin if we wanted to leave camp early or stay and catch a ride back with one of the other dads in our group. We were adamant that we would not leave the seashore until we absolutely had to return to civilization.

So my dad left us in good hands with our friend Craig, but drove off preoccupied and took all of the food with him.

These were the days before cell phones so we had no way of contacting him. We had some hot dogs that night, but the next morning no one else was up and we were hungry. I had caught a few sizable eels the day before with the other boys at low tide and, this morning, I refused to

budge out of the comfort of my sleeping bag. When I finally did rise to greet the day, it was to the smell of eels basted with teriyaki sauce smoking on a driftwood fire.

The only food my dad had left was a bottle of teriyaki sauce. While I slept, my brother and our good buddy Joe snuck away from camp at dawn and caught five eels in the rocky intertidal zone. They added kindling to a still smoldering ember in the fire pit from the night before and had teriyaki eels smoking by 7 a.m. That eel breakfast on the North Coast goes down in history as one of my all time favorites.

Needless to say, we have been harvesting monkeyface eels for decades and the subject of this article is just what to do with them once you catch them.

The monkeyface prickleback (Cebidichthys violaceus), commonly known as the monkeyface eel, is not actually an eel at all, but a type of finfish that has evolved an eel-like bauplan and adapted to the shallow rocky reefs of the North Coast. These “eels” cannot be purchased from the store, as there is no commercial market aimed at taking them. As a result, if you want to try this recipe you will need to catch one yourself. (See “Get Out,” page 20.) This recipe relies on fillets from eels of a little over a foot in length. Any smaller and monkeyface eels simply don’t have enough meat to bother with.

Once caught, these eels are pretty tricky to fillet as they are quite hard to keep hold of. You can get around this issue by wearing a cloth glove, or keeping hold of the eel’s jaw with a pair of pliers.

When filleting, I normally remove the skin from fish, but in the case of the monkeyface, my advice is to be sure to keep the skin on as it is simply fantastic once smoked and pan fried.

Monkeyface eels can be prepared in numerous ways but one of my preferred recipes is as simple as it is delicious, requiring only a smoker or grill and an appetite.

While eel is absolutely fantastic grilled with teriyaki sauce and rolled up in sushi, smoked eel on its own is also an absolutely delicious treat. After a brief marinade, these eel fillets can be smoked at low heat (approximately 150 degrees) for about four to six hours.

Smoking — a method of cooking and curing fish and game that dates back thousands of years — imparts an incredible flavor to food, but the smoke itself is actually a natural preservative as well. Each wood species yields its own unique flavor to smoking. I often use fruit wood for smoking terrestrial game as dense wood from apple or plum impart incredible fruity notes to such foods. However, when smoking eel and fish, I prefer a lighter, mild-flavored wood. As my good buddy Martijn informed me, in the Netherlands, eel are traditionally smoked with hazel or hickory, but I am partial to our local alder wood.

Alders grow along most lowland riparian corridors on the North Coast and alder wood has been the traditional wood of choice for smoking salmon among many Yurok families for generations.

Alder-smoked eel gets two thumbs up in my opinion. You can gather your own alder wood if you choose. Just be sure you select dead and dry wood to chip up.

After chipping your alder, soak it in water for at least 20 minutes. The object here is to let the wood smoke and prevent if from flaring up and burning.

Smoked Monkeyface Eel Ingredients: Salt (to taste) 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1 tablespoon oyster sauce 2 cloves garlic, diced 1 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce 2 teaspoons honey ½ cup water (plus more for brining eel and soaking wood chips) Alder chips Recipe: Soak the alder wood chips in water for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, brine your eel fillets in salt water (about 2 tablespoons for two cups of water) for 15 minutes. Get the smoker going and add the wood chips. Place your fillets in the smoker and let them smoke for four to six hours. If you don’t have a smoker, you can get a small amount of coals going in a barbecue and push them to one side. Place the eel fillets on the opposite side of the grill out of direct heat. Add your wet alder chips to the coals and let them smoke in the barbecue. Close all of the vents and monitor the eel and coals closely to be sure the wood chips do not dry and flame up and the eel is removed from the grill once fully cooked and smoked.

Once the eel comes out of the smoker, sauté in 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce, 2 teaspoons honey and ½ a cup of water. When this is reduced to a thick syrup, add two diced garlic cloves.

Now add the smoked eel fillets and simmer them on both sides to absorb all of the flavors and caramelize the sauce on the eel (about 5 minutes). Remove the eel from the sauce and let it cool.

Now serve it any way you please. This eel goes great in sushi or simply on a cracker with cream cheese mixed with diced green onions. ●

he gentle ebb and flow of the northern Pacific Ocean whispered in our ears as we spent the night on the sands anticipating the morning’s fishing foray.

Checking the tide tables the day before, I knew a minus-1.58 low tide was predicted for the following day at 7 a.m.

Now, I love to fish, but getting up early has never been my strong suit. However, I had a spot in mind, a rocky reef loaded with cracks, crevices and undercuts that I knew would be teaming with fish and our intended quarry for the weekend, eels. As the sun rose and we made our way along the boulders and hopped over crags, my girlfriend Diane and I felt very much awake and ready to try our luck. Of course, even though I was showing her the ropes when it came to poke pole fishing, she showed me up by the end of the day. What made me laugh even harder was the simple fact that the crudest poke pole ever constructed out-fished our commercial rod and reel setup, so much so that I am tempted to leave the fishing rod at home next time.

Poke pole fishing, aka poke poling, is a method of procuring rockfish and eels from the intertidal zone that is as effective as it is peculiar. Despite the vast array of dirty jokes that accompany a method of fishing that sees a tool, referred to as a poke pole, continually thrust into cracks and crevices, this fishing style is actually one of great antiquity. Instead of approaching the sea with a rod and reel, casting out from the rocks as far as the line will sail in hopes of securing fish, poke poling targets the sea life right beneath one’s feet.

The gear is comprised of five components and a setup that can be constructed in 10 minutes in the parking lot of your favorite rocky seashore. The poke pole itself is an 8- to 12-foot-long tapered limb or stalk of bamboo, with a straight piece of coat hanger extending from the tip. The coat hanger is securely wrapped around

20 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, July. 20, 2017 • northcoastjournal.com

The monkeyfaced “eel” Wikipedia/NOAA/MBARI

the “rod tip” using pliers, and a loop is bent in the end and wrapped several times around the straight coat hanger wire stock to prevent even the strongest fish from bending the loop straight and therefore keep the fish from escaping. “You need a wire hanger. There are people who will debate this, but the wire hanger is a must,” explains Kirk Lumbard, the world record holder for monkeyface eels.

Over the portion where the wire hanger is wrapped around the wood or bamboo, a second layer of tightly wrapped string and a third layer of duct tape is added to reinforce the “haft.” Next, a cheap, large octopus hook (size 4) is attached to the loop with a 6-inch leader (precisely the length that is usually standard on hooks bought for $1.50 for a five pack at most sporting goods shops). You want a leader that is at least 25-pounds strength tested, but 50-pound test is preferred. The hook is baited with a one-inch piece of squid (the fresher the better) and this odd fishing setup is ready to rock!

The idea is simple: Carefully move along the water’s edge and locate holes between rocks at least a foot deep. Work the poke pole tip back into these holes and deep under rocky ledges where an eel might be sitting. Wait about 30 seconds to a minute before moving your bait to another area within the hole. Once you feel that you have thoroughly presented your bait in that particular spot, move a few feet down the reef to locate a new hole. If a fish or eel bites your bait, simply pull back to set the hook and transfer the quarry to a net (most eels will throw the hook in a few seconds if not netted immediately).

Jetties and natural boulder piles are the most likely place to locate fish and eels. There is currently no size limit for monkeyface eels or intertidal rockfish, but there is little meat on eels less than a foot in length or on rockfish shorter than eight inches. On a good day, an angler can easily land five or more of these unique

and tasty sea creatures (though see special regulations for daily bag limits of rockfish).

While most anglers use a tackle box to keep extra hooks and bait while fishing freshwater lakes and streams, a backpack is definitely the way to go when working an intertidal rocky reef. A pack allows anglers to keep all necessary gear on their back, enabling them to use their hands to maneuver across slick, algae-covered, rocky terrain. It’s like I always tell rookies when they first go into the intertidal zone, “Be like a crab, stay low to the ground and always have multiple points of contact with the rocks as you move.” There is no shame in being only semi-bipedal and using your hands to navigate. In fact, this is the strategy employed by all experienced shore anglers for good reason; it will prevent you from falling. In addition to the backpack, a few garbage bags, pliers, extra hooks and leaders, a net, a stringer, bait, a hat, sunscreen, water, lunch and an extra jacket are also all essentials. Just be sure to pack out whatever you pack in.

A few additional tips: Remember, if you leave your fish in the water to keep them fresh, tie them to a rock way higher than you might think necessary so a rising tide doesn’t come between you and your catch while you fish a different hole. Always watch rising tides to be sure you can get back safely to shore. Do not venture into the intertidal zone unless you know how to swim and, if you don’t, please take lessons, your life may depend on it.

Finally, always be sure to follow all California Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations, which can be found online or in a printed booklet free of charge at any sporting goods store. For gear recommendations, check out Bucksport Sporting Goods in Eureka and ask for Todd (an old friend of mine).

Stop and Hear the Roses

By Andy Powell

thesetlist@northcoastjournal.com

I

t’s not often that I’m impressed with the trajectory of humankind. I wonder if we’ve hit a plateau and just can’t biologically evolve in any significant relation anymore to the technology we’ve created.

The quantity of experience, and the quantity of stimuli that surround us in the 21st century is really mind-boggling, if we take a moment to think about it. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when we contemplate how we can collectively grasp many of the secrets of the cosmos, the interplay and inner workings of the fundamental micro-realities of life, and simultaneously ponder the scenario of a potential nuclear holocaust and realize that our fascination with the concept of more might just might make this third rock from the sun inhospitable to our future existence.

Let me pull back a little bit before true melancholia sets in — this is a music column after all, right? Isn’t it often the simplest things in life that bring us the most joy? Time with friends and loved ones. A swim at the river. A beer on the porch. A baseball game.

Music. I’m reminded of this when I hear my son picking out the fact that the Crabgrass band is rockin’ “Purple Haze,” or when he and his karate mates are critiquing Billy Joel’s “The Entertainer” yet praising “Movin’ Out.” Or when they mention Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song” and can recite the lyrics from memory on the spot.

It’s the small and simple things that imbue this whole experiment of life with meaning. Will we all blink out of existence some day? Sure, but there are still a million reasons to smile and sing along the way.

Thursday Although the Folklife Festival is now behind us, that doesn’t mean you won’t have plenty of opportunities to hear from bands that you caught during said festival.

If you heard The Compost Mountain Boys during the Bluegrass and Beyond night of

Safari Boots play Redwood Curtain Brewing Co., Thursday, July 20 at 8 p.m. (free).

Submitted

the festival and were looking forward to hearing them again, tonight’s your night.

Head to the Mad River Brewery Tap Room at 6 p.m. this evening to hear them for free. They’ll be playing until about 8:30 p.m. or so, and dancing in the sunshine is permitted. Fellow Folklife-alum, Safari Boots will be in Arcata at the Redwood Curtain Brewing Co. at 8 p.m., also for free.

These Boots are a local, yet international, group with John Howarth from Buckinghamshire on guitar joining locals Glen Nagy on bass and Charly Eitel doing the percussion thing. Their email states that they play “Soukous, mbaqanga, rhumba, plus a touch of blues and a hint of eastern scales.” At first I thought those were the names of exotic instruments, but after some quiet reflection, I’m guessing they’re descriptive of the types of music the band plays. Give it a listen, it’s free and there will be great beer around.

Friday

The country-rock sounds of Cadillac Ranch are yours for the hearing at Mad River Brewery at 6 p.m. and for free. Good Company returns to Cafe Mokka at 8 p.m. bringing their Celtic tunes to your ears while you sip hot chocolate or a cappuccino while digging the enchanted frog ponds. This one’s free and all ages as well.

Dancing and hits are on the menu at the Blue Lake Casino and Hotel’s Wave Lounge at 9 p.m. tonight courtesy of local rockers Dr. Squid and, also, for free. The Alibi in Arcata welcomes Visalia hard rockers Slow Season to town around 11 p.m. They’re joined by local heavy dudes Lord Ellis, who I haven’t seen play in a while, so

tonight’s a great opportunity for this rare sighting of the beast. Show’s only $5.

Saturday

Jenni & David and the Sweet Soul Band bring their funky blues to the Mad River Brewery at 6 p.m. and for free. I’m a Blue Laker, and can vouch for the ability to hit the river, soak up the sun, dry off and head to the brewery for a cold one and some food and music, all while the sun’s still up. The sun’s been setting around 8:45 p.m. a lot of these nights, so there’s plenty of time to get your vitamin D and then vitamin Beer fill. If the river and sun sound like too much effort for you Arcatans, not to sweat, Blase and The Stellar Jays are at Redwood Curtain Brewing Co. at 8 p.m. and also playing for free. Trinidad’s Cher-Ae-Heights Casino hosts double father-and-son duo Doug Fir and the 2x4s at 9 p.m. The show is free, but feel free to show the band your appreciation by clapping after songs. That’s when you smack your two hands together to make sound. Stomp your feet or jiggle your keys if you don’t want to put the beer down.

The Wave Lounge in the Blue Lake Casino has swing and jump blues from locals The Uptown Kings happening at the same time and for the same price. Back in Arcata, string band The Rumpke Mountain Boys are stopping by Humboldt Brews at 9:30 p.m. Out of Cincinnati, these fellas are proud of the “trashgrass” moniker they’ve earned and all four band members are songwriters. They tend not to put together setlists ahead of shows, and instead flow and improvise depending how they and the crowd are feeling that night. They

put out their album High Time, Low Tide last year and will most likely have some copies around if you dig their sound. $10 gets you in the Hum Brews doors.

Sunday

The JD Jeffries Band will be at the Trinidad Artists Market at noon today. The band has a relatively new lineup with JD on guitar, Devin Paine on lead guitar, Teri Lockhart on bass and her son Korry on drums. Check ‘em out for free this noon and afternoon.

Tuesday Jazz will get you through the first half of this week at the Mad River Brewery Tap Room in Blue Lake. Tonight you’ll find jazz guitar and vocals courtesy of Blue Lotus Jazz for free and at 6 p.m. It’s all ages so bring the kiddos down, just keep them away from the adult beverages.

Run, Fido, Run! We’ve all seen the YouTube clips of dogs doing agility runs. Energetic pooches running, jumping, weaving through obstacle courses and looking like they’re having the doggone time of their lives. It’s high-energy fun and it’s happening right here at the Humboldt County Fairgrounds at the 13th annual Lost Coast Kennel Club Dog Agility and fourth annual Barn Hunt, July 21-24 from 8:30 a.m-5:30 p.m. (free admission). It’s four days showcasing stamina, obedience, speed and the special bond between dog and handler.

Also, can your dog smell a rat? Bring him/her to the Barn Hunt Clinic on Friday from noon-4 p.m. at the fairgrounds’ soccer field to learn what goes on in a Barn Hunt and see if he/she’s got the nose for it ($10/ dog - open to anyone). In Barn Hunts, dogs explore bales of hay using their instincts to search out rats that are hidden and safely contained in aerated tubes. The dogs can’t actually get to the rats, they just find ‘em, usually with tails wagging. For dogs that are entered into the Barn Hunt itself (please leave un-entered dogs at home) and for spectators curious about this fun event, it takes place July 22 and July 23 from 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. on the soccer field (free to watch).

There will be vendors on the grounds as well, offering goodies for dogs and their owners. So take home a doggy bag and please remember to leave your own pooches at home unless they are entered in the events. For more information, go to www.lostcoastkc.org or call 445-3316.

When in Chrome ...

It’s time for Fortuna’s shiniest event, the Fortuna Redwood AutoXpo, which rolls into town July 21-23 (free to spectators) and has been doing so since 1990. Classic car aficionados flood the streets of Fortuna for three days of vintage and classic cars, trucks and tractors, plus a full tank of other fun events. Here’s what’s revving: Friday night’s cruise down Main Street from 6-7:30 p.m. is your chance to see tricked out trucks and cherry coupes before heading over to the River Lodge for Merv George laying down the tunes at the Sock Hop at 8 p.m. ($5). There’s an Artisans Faire happening Friday night through Sunday afternoon at Rohner Park.

Also Friday night, check out the Quilt Show in the Veterans Memorial Building (replacing the Antiques Show this year). It continues all day Saturday. Next up, it’s sweet fender skirts and fade-aways on display at the Judged Car Show in Rohner Park Saturday from 9 a.m.-4 p.m., and at the Show & Shine/Vintage & Exotic (non-judged) show Saturday from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. in the Fortuna High School parking lot. Trophies for both shows are awarded Sunday at 10 a.m. in Rohner Park. Friday through Sunday at Rohner Park, you can also swap stories and parts with other gearheads at the Swap Meet & Car Corral. The Hit-and-Miss Antique Engine Gas Up and Antique Tractors and Farm Equipment sputter to life at Rohner Park all day Saturday and Sunday, with Antique Tractor Pull action Saturday and Sunday over at the Rodeo Grounds. And try your luck at the Poker Run starting at Fortuna High on Saturday at 5 p.m.

For a full schedule of events, visit www.redwoodautoxpo.org.

The Hero

Hero Immerses, Big Sick Shines

Two very different films lend hope

By John J. Bennett

filmland@northcoastjournal.com The Hero It seems I’ve written fairly frequently of late — probably too frequently — about the bright possibility of hope dispelling the corrosive recent mists of cinematic mediocrity and failure. Even as we are bombarded with rival comic book adaptations and YA sob-fests and whatever else the ones behind the big desks decide can generate $1 billion, movies from a presumably bygone era keep slipping in.

No need to list examples here, I’d say, but they are all of a type that works to defy type: small to medium sized, with actual stories at the heart of them, made by people who care about their craft. The kind of movies we 1990s children thought we’d see forever. As adulthood brought the horizon ever closer, though, the cinematic world seemed to diminish and recede apace. With some notable exceptions, the intervening decades saw ever-increasing monetization all but grind out the beautiful, ragged impulse of the independent cinema boom; on the face of it, the situation seemed pretty hopeless. (We’re not out of the woods yet; there’s a wide-release disaster pic about weather coming soon.)

But hope does exist, and although the tide may not exactly be turning, there

appears to be more and more room at the multiplex for little movies from an older tradition. The Hero is one of them and is perfect in a quiet, unassuming way.

Lee Hayden (Sam Elliott) is an iconic Western star without much of a back-catalog to support that status. In his words, he made one movie he can be proud of, some 40 years ago. Now he applies his unmistakable voice to the hawking of barbecue sauce, gets high and eats takeout with his buddy/dealer Jeremy (Nick Offerman) and regrets the distance he’s created between himself and his adult daughter Lucy (Krysten Ritter). It’s a living, as someone once said, but one that invites a fair amount of not altogether constructive introspection, which is, in turn, compounded by a pretty dire cancer diagnosis that Lee can’t bring himself to discuss with anyone. Just as life seems to have really started circling the drain, Lee meets Charlotte (Laura Prepon), an acerbic stand-up comedian, and enters into a tricky, distressing, ultimately vivifying affair that happy-accidentally jump-starts his public profile.

One of my first reactions to The Hero, and especially to Elliott’s breathtaking performance, was shock that he hasn’t been

The Big Sick

asked to play more parts like this. Maybe it’s fortuitous timing, an actor having lived enough life to bring exactly enough of himself to a beautifully imagined role. Or maybe co-writer/director Brett Haley saw something that everyone else seems to have missed, something that now seems shocking in its clarity. No way to say from this vantage-point, nor does it really matter. Elliott becomes Lee Hayden in such a natural, apparently effortless way that one forgets that he is acting at all. It comes to feel more like watching someone move through difficulties with no artifice whatsoever.

It helps, of course, that Haley directs with a light, languid touch, lending the movie an air of artful authenticity. The Hero is marvelously concise (just over 90 minutes), but never rushed; every shot and line of dialogue contributes to the story, resulting in an immersive, emotional, deeply satisfying experience. R. 93M. BROADWAY.

The Big Sick Judd Apatow, both as a writer-director and producer, has been hard at work in the last 15 years or so, trying to save American comedy. He’s doing the good work and, even if he hasn’t changed the whole landscape, he has at least contributed some noteworthy features to it. In this case, he shepherded a script by Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon about the trying circumstances of their real-life early courtship, from its nascent stages to the big screen. In another throwback to a seemingly bygone era, a personal movie by known-but-not-prominent players got made, and we are all richer for it.

Nanjiani plays Kumail Nanjiani, a fledgling stand-up in Chicago making ends meet as an Uber driver (the script plays with

the timeline of the real events, I should think). He meets Emily Gardner (Zoe Kazan) at one of his shows, and they begin a tentative relationship. She’s a graduate student reticent about committing; he’s a first-generation Pakistani-American whose parents (Anupam Kher and Zenobia Shroff) still think he will accede to a traditional arranged marriage. As much as they like each other, his subterfuge and their individual neuroses eventually create a blow-up.

While they’re separated, Emily falls gravely ill, is hospitalized and soon thereafter placed in a medically-induced coma. This brings Kumail running to her bedside, where circumstances force him to quickly become acquainted with Emily’s parents (played by Ray Romano and Holly Hunter).

The defining characteristic of Nanjiani and Gordon’s screenplay is its emotional honesty, cutting as it does to the core of a new relationship, to all of the insecurity and doubt that can seem just as big as the excitement and passion that they attend.

But they also manage to find the humor in the situation and, with sure-handed help from director Michael Showalter (The Baxter, 2005; Hello, My Name is Doris, 2015), create a lived-in world where deeply funny things happen right on the heels of devastating things, and people do what they can to manage the challenges. The Big Sick is a deceptively simple, unassuming romantic comedy that actually adds something to the language of the genre. R. 120M. BROADWAY, MILL CREEK, MINOR.
