Editor: Trump’s a Manchurian candidate, congressman? Yep, bet Putin is happy as hell about the billions that are heading to NATO … who happen to surround him.

What about those anti-tank weapons we supplied to Ukraine and adding more sanctions to Russia’s barely alive economy?

Trump asked Google’s Leader of the Year Angela Merkel, “Why deal with an enemy when you could deal with us?” referencing her shady deal with Putin’s oil/gas. Still somehow the pandering Huffman/McGuire believe that Putin is pulling Trump’s chain with the same proof as two years ago ... absolutely nothing! (“In the Wake of Helsinki, NorCal Lawmakers Introduce Vetting Bills,” July 26.)

‘Russian collusion’ conjured up by Hillary, the DNC, Obama’s intelligence community and MSM have Mueller’s biased team wasting millions of taxpayer money trying to frame a duly elected president so Obama’s unprecedented corruption stays hidden. All of you tinfoil-hatted-Russia-collusion believers need to get a copy of The Russia Hoax by Greg Jarrett. Everything is explained with footnotes. Maybe Huffman/McGuire should introduce a Voter ID Bill to help ensure the integrity of elections. Something useful for a change.

The Democratic party is split. The establishment is clinging to its ill-founded ‘resistance’ but is being pushed aside by the new Democrat Socialist faction of the

party headed by DNC Chair Tom “Amnesty” Perez. This group includes the Antifa goon squads; no borders; no ICE; “free” healthcare and “free” education but hasn’t a clue how to pay for it; want sanctuary cities/states; believe America and all white people are racist; hate America; hate police; hate the military; will not allow disagreement and beat you if you do; believe in violent mob rule advocated by their deranged activists.

Do these people realize these actions would mean the end of the United States?

Are people aware they are daily being politically manipulated by identity/diversity driven activists/media to this end?

Rick Brennan, Eureka

‘A Few Basic Facts’ Editor: The Journal’s publisher, Judy Hodgson, cited three reasons for denouncing President Trump (“Enough, Mr. President,” Aug. 16). One was a “daily barrage of tweet-lies” such as the one about California’s wildfires being magnified by all that water gratuitously diverted into the Pacific. Another reason was his many “vicious personal attacks.” She listed a few targets: Don Lemon, John McCain, the FBI. Her biggest issue with Trump is his sweeping indictment of the news media as being “the enemy of the people.”

Two supporters of Trump responded in the next issue by accusing Hodgson

of being condescending, righteous and self-indulgent. Perhaps it hurt their feelings that she began her piece on a note of incredulous outrage and horror that Trump made it into office to begin with. Undeniably, we humans do tend to look down on whoever disagrees with us, especially about political issues. It’s regrettable but everybody says condescending, righteous things — including those who complain about it.

So let’s toughen our skins and focus on the issues. We urgently need critical thinking, communication skills and, above all, solid information. If you agree with Trump’s opinion of the news media, tell me where you get your information from.

If it’s not news media, what is it? How has that source earned your trust? Communication is futile if we can’t agree on at least a few basic facts.

These are strange times when “the left” is on the same side as the FBI and the CIA and “the right” is cutting Russia all kinds of slack. There has always been something fishy about that simplistic divide between left and right, anyway. We’re being manipulated, folks! Time to get smart and focus on the issues.

‘Health Herb?’

Editor: Thanks so very much for publishing a brief description of research findings on the health effects of marijuana use from The Atlantic (“The High Price of Freedom,” Aug. 23).

The downsides are many yet never discussed. We know it has an impact on the developing brain, which doesn’t stop until about the age of 25, but the students refer to it as a health herb.

We know that it impacts motivation, focus and productivity, so it’s not a good way to start the day, especially when heading to school or to work. The research findings that are studying the effects of second-hand smoke from weed are not looking good, yet it is difficult to get away from the smell in our community. And first-hand smoke itself, regardless from where it comes, is deleterious to the lungs and body.

While we don’t want to turn back the hands of time, we absolutely need well-defined discussions that address both positive and negative impacts so people have free choice — without the information and education, I would argue, there is no significant choice to make when smoking “the herb.” Given current, positive-only information, it seems like a no-brainer since many people don’t realize how much it can screw with their brain and health.

Humboldt officials brace for impact of landmark bail bill

6 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Aug. 30, 2018 • northcoastjournal.com

s the Journal went to press Aug. 28, Gov. Jerry Brown signed a landmark bill that will reshape California’s criminal justice system. It will also directly prompt the closure of Steve Payton’s three Eureka businesses.

The bill — Senate Bill 10 — eliminates California’s cash bail system that currently determines whether criminal defendants are held in custody as they await trial, replacing it in October of 2019 with a controversial set of mandates and risk assessments. Once widely supported by civil liberties groups and others clamoring for criminal justice reform, the bill was dramatically overhauled just 72 hours before its Aug. 21 passage, prompting a slate of strange bedfellows, including the American Civil Liberties Union and the California Sheriff’s Association, to unsuccessfully urge Brown to veto the bill.

Like almost every other state in the nation, California currently operates on a cash bail system that allows people charged with a crime to offer money in exchange for their freedom as they await trial, either directly or through a bail bond company, like Payton’s businesses in Eureka. The system allows defendants to essentially carry on with their lives — going to work, caring for their kids and whatever else — as their cases work their way through court, while also ensuring they have an incentive to stay out of trouble and show up for their hearings.

In simple terms, it works like this. Imagine you are arrested for carjacking, which in Humboldt County comes with a bail of $250,000. If you want to be released pending trial in your case, you’d have to come up with the $250,000 out of pocket to turn over to the court. If you make all of your court appearances and stay out of trouble until your case is resolved, you’d get your $250,000 back. Or, if you can’t afford the full sum — which most defendants can’t — you could work with a bail bond office, like one of Payton’s, which charges 8 to 10 percent of the total bond — a fee of $20,000 to $25,000 under the carjacking example — to carry the rest of the bond. If you show up for all your hearings and stay out of trouble, the bond would be forgiven at the conclusion of your case. If you don’t, the company carrying the bond would have to

pay it in its entirety and then would come after you — or your co-signer, your house or whatever you put up for collateral — to recoup the other $225,000 to $230,000.

While most feel the system sufficiently incentivizes defendants to stay out of trouble and show up at all their court dates, many have come to feel it is inherently unjust, as it predicates someone’s release from custody on their personal wealth. After all, in the above example, wealthy defendants would simply post bail and continue on with their lives while others accused of the exact same offense but who didn’t have $20,000 on hand would be held in custody for the duration of their cases, potentially leading to a loss of employment, a loss of housing, the removal of children from their care or other impacts of a long-term detention.

Under the new paradigm signed into law

by Brown, money will be removed from the equation and pre-trial releases will be mandated for lower-level crimes and dictated by “risk assessments” for most felonies.

“Today, California reforms its bail system so that rich and poor alike are treated fairly,” Brown said in a signing statement.

But while most Humboldt County officials seem to agree the cash bail system is flawed, they also expressed some serious concerns about the new law.

Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal said he’s concerned with the way Senate Bill 10 will restrict his department’s discretion when it comes to misdemeanor defendants. Currently, Honsal said his office has an agreement with the court under which it conducts an initial risk assessment when a defendant is booked into custody, looking at the defendant’s likelihood of staying out of trouble and making future court dates as well as his or her perceived risk to the community. The vast majority of people arrested for misdemeanors are booked and released on their own recognizance with a promise to appear in court, the sheriff said.

But Senate Bill 10 now requires that folks arrested for nonviolent misdemeanors be released from custody within 12 hours, which Honsal called an “overreach.” Sometimes, Honsal said, it takes 18 or even 24 hours for people arrested while under the Continued on next page »

influence of methamphetamine to sober up and stabilize, allowing jail staff to really ascertain whether mental health issues may be at play and whether it is safe to release them from custody. Additionally, he said the 12-hour mandate may necessitate the release of some people in the middle of the night — a practice that has drawn concern and condemnation since Jan. 1, 2014, when a beloved local priest was murdered by a man released from jail around midnight.

“It’s tricky waters,” he said.

Humboldt County Interim Public Defender Marek Reavis, who fully supported the concept of abolishing cash bail, has a different set of concerns. Echoing the protests raised by the ACLU, Reavis said his concerns fall on the felony side of things.

The new law will require most felony defendants to undergo a risk assessment and then go before a judge, who will determine whether “preventative detention” is necessary to either keep them from fleeing and failing to show up for court or to protect the public against their committing additional crimes. The fear is that judges will be overly cautious and keep most felony defendants in custody for fear of ordering

someone released only to see them commit additional offenses.

“It may end up just as unjust (as cash bail) and perhaps even increase the number of suspects jailed while they await trial,” he said in an email to the Journal. “Basically, S.B. 10 is better than what we’ve got now but, in its present form, it’s not the bail reform I’d hoped for.”

District Attorney Maggie Fleming, meanwhile, said she’s neutral on the bill.

While she believes in its basic principle of doing away with cash bail, she’s concerned whether the risk assessments will accurately assess community risks when weighing whether to release someone from custody.

While it’s not immediately clear how the new law will work — it just requires that counties contract with a public agency to conduct the risk assessments and tasks the Judicial Council to hammer out the specifics — it seems likely in Humboldt County that the probation department will take on the assessments. Reached by email, Interim Chief Probation Officer Shaun Brenneman said his department is already working with the sheriff’s office in a pre-trial assessment program implemented in the wake of the state’s prison realignment law, which de-

creased prison populations by overcrowding local jails.

Payton, who owns Bill Davidson Bail Bonds, Steve Payton Bail Bonds and Venture Bail Bonds in Eureka, said he worries that judges will be reticent to grant releases under the new law, putting the jail back on the road toward overcrowding. But, really, he has an entirely different concern, namely that the new law will put him and other bond agencies out of business.

Payton, who said he’s frustrated with the way this bill was amended at the proverbial 11th hour and passed without a thorough vetting, said he’s attempted to contact members of the Eureka City Council, the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors and his state representatives — Sen. Mike McGuire and Assemblymember Jim Wood, both of whom voted for the bill. He’s gotten little response.

While Payton conceded the current bail system is in need of reform — he said he’d like to see a uniform, statewide bail schedule, for starters — he thinks it generally works well. Payton said he currently has about 50 clients whom he has bonded out of jail, saying that because he has a vested Continued on page 10 »

monetary interest, he works with each of them to make sure they’re showing up at court dates and staying out of trouble. And when one of them skips a hearing, Payton said he then has a vested interest in tracking them down — if he can do it within six months, he can avoid forfeiting the rest of the bond. Under the new system, he asked, who will be tasked with tracking down defendants who fail to appear?

“Somebody who is out on supervised release, if they don’t show up for their court hearing a warrant goes out for them, sure, but who’s going to go out and look for them? Nobody,” he said. “What happens is they will wait until they reoffend and then they will also get a failure to appear. … I have (a client) right now who skipped and if I can’t find him, I have to pay the courts $25,000. I haven’t been able to find him but I’m going to keep trying.”

According to data supplied by the Sheriff’s Office, about 430 people have been released from custody since the beginning of the year after posting bail, which is about 7 percent of all arrestees. (The vast majority of the others were released on their own recognizance after a misdemeanor arrest or after sobering up from a public intoxication arrest.) Under the new law, most of those 430 people’s custodial status would have been decided by a judge.

Speaking to the Journal just a couple of hours before Brown signed S.B. 10 into law, Payton said he imagined that if Brown signed the bill he’d look to sell his home and move out of Humboldt County, where he has lived for 25 years.

“I’ve already seen all my friends who are bail bondsmen go out of business,” he said, adding that since prison realignment when the jail started releasing the vast majority of misdemeanor arrestees after booking, it’s been hard to find enough business to make ends meet. He’s since closed his storefronts, operating his businesses out of his home, and scaled back to the point where he and his wife are the only employees.

While there is plenty of uncertainty surrounding the new bill, one thing is very clear: It will place more power into the hands of Humboldt County Superior Court judges.

“The specific consequences of the bill for Humboldt County will be determined by individual judges because the bill will place decisions about the trade-off between public safety and custody of the accused firmly in their hands,” Fleming said. l Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor.

It’s in the Genes.

And the Milk.

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

f you’re breastfeeding, you shouldn’t be using marijuana.

While that’s long been the stance of the American Academy of Pediatrics, it’s now supported by science.

Researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine released a groundbreaking study this month showing that cannabinoids — the active compounds, including THC, found in cannabis — can pass through a mother’s body and into her breast milk for up to six days after her last reported use.

The study tested breast milk samples from 54 women who reported using marijuana either daily, weekly or sporadically, and found that 63 percent of the samples tested positive for THC and other cannabinoids, which bound to the fat molecules in the milk. While the research makes clear that these cannabinoids would then pass into the system of a breastfeeding child, it does not quantify the potential impacts, saying only that the data raises neurodevelopmental concerns.

“We found that the amount of THC that the infant could potentially ingest from breast milk was relatively low but we still don’t know enough about the drug to say whether or not there is a concern for the infant at any dose, or if there is a safe dosing level,” explained Christina Chambers, the study’s principal investigator and a professor in the department of Pediatrics at UCSD School of Medicine, in a press release.

While the benefits of breastfeeding are now widely accepted — it’s associated with reduced risks of obesity, asthma and sudden infant death syndrome, to name a few — this study now gives pediatricians something to point to when breastfeeding mothers ask about the safety of using marijuana. l Another groundbreaking study released this week provides further evidence of an undeniable link between cannabis use and schizophrenia, though it stops well short of establishing a causal connection.

Family Owned & Operated since 2012 Shutterstock

Published in Nature Neuroscience, the study saw geneticists analyze DNA samples from more than 180,000 people — the largest grouping to date for a study of this kind — and found that people who are genetically at risk of schizophrenia are more likely to start using cannabis.

Using a variety of tests, the geneticists found 35 different genes associated with cannabis use, with many of them already associated with other habits, personality traits and mental health conditions, including schizophrenia.

“That was not a big surprise, because previous studies have often shown that cannabis use and schizophrenia are associated with each other,” the study’s lead author, Jacqueline Vink, a researcher at Radboud University in the Netherlands, said in a statement. “However, we also studied whether this association is causal.”

The researchers reported finding some evidence that being genetically vulnerable to schizophrenia made people more likely to use cannabis, potentially as a way to self-medicate and cope with their condition. Other studies have found that cannabis use early in life increases one’s risk of schizophrenia, and Vink and her crew were careful to say their study doesn’t disprove this theory but rather shows the relationship is complicated and warrants further study.

Interestingly, the geneticists also used their research to calculate that genetic variations alone may account for 11 percent of the differences in people that determine whether they smoke cannabis. ● With the 2017-2018 legislative session coming to a close Aug. 31, there has been a flurry of activity in Sacramento as lawmakers push to get their bills on Gov. Jerry Brown’s desk before they are relegated to the dust bins of history. Amid the whirlwind of activity, a number of cannabis-re-

lated bills have been passed in recent days.

The state Senate passed Assembly Bill 1793, which would require the Department of Justice to comb through its database for cannabis convictions in cases from 1975 to 2016 for conduct that would now be deemed legal under Proposition 64 to systematically expunge records and reduce sentences. If the bill is signed by Brown, the state’s district attorneys would have one year to challenge any retroactive action proposed by the Department of Justice.

It is estimated the law would require the review of more than 215,000 convictions.

On Aug. 27, the state Assembly passed North Coast Sen. Mike McGuire’s bill that would expand the statute of limitations for illegal conversions of timberlands for cannabis cultivation to three years from the time of their discovery, which McGuire argues will enable more prosecutions. The bill is supported by a host of environmental groups, as well as the California District Attorneys Association.

Also on Aug. 27, the Legislature passed a bill that would require the California Highway Patrol to track and report how many motorists pulled over on suspicion of impaired driving are allegedly under the influence of marijuana. The bill is intended to quantify the impacts of cannabis legalization on California roadways.

Finally, the Assembly passed another bill Aug. 27 that would allow some parents to give their children medical marijuana on school campuses. The legislation — which allows local districts to opt out — would allow minors with medical marijuana prescriptions to take the medication on campus, so long as it comes in a non-smoking or vaping form, such as capsules or oils. ● Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor.

Judge Denies Sex Offender Placement

A

Humboldt County superior court judge denied the proposed placement of a convicted sex offender into a Freshwater neighborhood at a hearing on Aug. 23.

In the face of an outpouring of community concern, Judge John Feeney denied the proposed placement of Joshua Cooley, who was deemed a sexually violent predator by the state in 2010 but has since been ordered released, in a housing placement in the Howard Heights neighborhood of Freshwater.

In advance of the hearing, which had to be moved from a courtroom to Supervisors Chambers because so many people showed up to express concerns over the proposal, the Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office and Sheriff William Honsal both released strongly worded statements opposing the placement, citing what the DA’s office termed a “significant risk” to public safety.

Cooley was committed to Coalinga State Hospital on his Sexually Violent Predator (SVP) designation in 2010 after serving prison time for sexually assaulting a minor. After an appeal, his petition for release was granted in December of 2016,

with the search for a suitable placement site taking place over the last 20 months.

(Read more about the SVP designation process in the Journal’s Aug. 20, 2015, story “Free and Afraid.”)

In a strongly worded letter Honsal penned to Feeney, the sheriff outlined the reasons he believes Cooley is “someone that threatens the safety and security of this community.”

Honsal also cited his specific concerns about the Howard Heights location, including the proximity to schools and parks, the rural nature of the neighborhood that could provide potential escape routes as well as slow law enforcement response times and limit deputies’ ability to monitor his movements, especially with roads that can become impassable in winter conditions.

“Everything about releasing this Sexually Violent Predator into the Howard Heights area is wrong,” Honsal wrote the judge.

Attorney David Nims, who has been retained by Howard Heights residents Trevor and Wendy Harper, said he delivered a letter to the owners of the proposed placement property signed by nearly 30 neighbors who expressed many of the same concerns voiced by Honsal.

Amid a ‘caustic work environment,’ HSU’s radio station charts its future

By Kristin Kirby

newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

T

he July meeting of the KHSU Community Advisory Board (CAB) went an hour overtime.

It was the third such meeting since the sudden firing of longtime KHSU Program and Operations Director Katie Whiteside. Normally meetings no one attends except the CAB members themselves, the three since Whiteside’s dismissal have been so full that the CAB has had to find new venues. The 50 or so people who turned out in July found seats and greeted one another as a videographer set up his equipment. This meeting was different from the previous two, which essentially consisted of a widespread airing of grievances concerning Whiteside’s firing, in that it included a representative of Humboldt State University’s administration, Vice President of Advancement Craig Wruck, who oversees KHSU. After introductory remarks and a quick update from staff, the board turned the meeting over to Wruck, who handed out copies of a draft “statement of vision and purpose” prepared by KHSU General Manager Peter Fretwell and HSU President Lisa Rossbacher’s cabinet at Wruck’s request.

But introduced amid what the vice president called a “caustic work environment” at the station, it did not go over well.

“One of the things that we really needed to do is develop a strategic plan for the station,” Wruck explained, adding that while there has been a long-standing mission statement for the station, there is no clear statement of vision and purpose, “which is what you need in order to create a strategic plan.”

One reason for a new vision statement, Wruck said, is that KHSU means different things to different listeners.

“There are people who believe that KHSU is a wonderful source of local programming, and it is,” he said. “There are other people who really rely on KHSU as their source of National Public Radio programming. KHSU also offers 24-hours-

a-day Spanish language programming and some people aren’t even aware of that. … part of what we want to do is arrive at a consensus agreement of what exactly this radio station needs to be and how we need to organize ourselves in order to be able to fulfill [the station’s] mission.”

The draft states that the process of reaching consensus on the vision and purpose “will involve all of the station’s stakeholders: listeners, the community, volunteers, staff and the university,” and will provide an opportunity for discussion and debate “about the priorities and future direction of the station.” It goes on to lay out a timeline for creating the statement and includes a draft with an overarching vision statement followed by eight “purposes.”

But introduced in a climate rife with

distrust toward HSU’s administration, the vision statement was immediately met with pushback — much of it directed not so much at its content but its origin.

CAB member Barbara Boerger was one of the first to speak up after the initial presentation but many of the 50 or so other community members in the room would echo her sentiment throughout the evening.

“Who are the president’s cabinet, who have never had any involvement or participation in KHSU? We don’t even know their names. Who are they to come and draft something without getting any input except for allegedly one member of the CAB and throw this out at us? I think it was disrespectful to the staff and volunteers Continued on next page »

to go ahead and do this without asking us for input first.”

Wruck responded that the university owns KHSU so it seemed appropriate to ask the administration to write the first draft. Boerger then asked whether any of the cabinet members were present at the meeting. Wruck said they were not.

“We don’t even know if they listen to KHSU,” Boerger continued. “We don’t know if they’re members of KHSU, if they support the station themselves with a financial contribution like all of us do. We don’t know anything.”

KHSU’s workforce consists of a small cohort of staff and a large group of volunteers, many of whom have worked at the station for decades. Present at the meeting were many of those with the longest histories with KHSU, people who have collectively created thousands of hours of programming and put in many more hours of work — much of it unpaid. Perhaps unsurprisingly, some bristled at being handed a vision statement rather than being asked to help create one.

“Many of us attended HSU,” said longtime host Danielle Orr. “We are beloved people of this university, of this town, our radio station. I can’t even count the amount of hours that I have personally put in, along with all my friends.”

Orr said everyone in the room that night wants KHSU to be better, “more interesting, more relevant,” and is working to that aim, but they need the support of campus leadership.

Wruck responded that the draft statement, as presented, was not meant to be a “manifesto that is being laid before you — it’s just a starting point,” adding that he was trying to be helpful by giving the group a place to start.

Discussion turned to the draft statement Wruck presented.

Former KHSU host Sharon Fennell read off several of the eight purposes on Wruck’s list that she said KHSU is already engaged in. But instead of serving as an affirmation, it seemed to be taken as an affront.

“There’s nothing new under the sun in this document,” she said. “I was with KHSU 37 years — that’s almost four decades, Mr. Wruck. … Everything on this list — we do it.”

A Hybrid Model

Public radio stations follow a variety of formats. Many get programming from outfits like National Public Radio, which offers shows like Fresh Air and All Things Considered, and Public Radio Exchange, which also distributes programming, including the popular This American Life.

This requires fewer hands on deck — you just run the feed and that’s it. KHSU buys those programs but it also airs its own local programming. A lot of the work is done by a robust roster of volunteers — around 50 active at any given time — who work long hours to produce a variety of music, local news, stories and interviews.

Many of these are featured on the daily half-hour KHSU Magazine on topics ranging from the quality of local patient care to cannabis and local elections. Interviews are aired every weekday and archived on the website. Some are snapshots, only a few minutes long, like Immigrant Voices, hosted by HSU lecturer James Floss, which highlights stories of undocumented people in the community, and This is a Story, a series of short, personal vignettes, hosted by Jessica Eden. Programs like these are aired intermittently, often during the Morning Edition breaks, music shows or the Magazine.

There are also standalone, weekly shows like Through the Eyes of Women, which is hosted by a rotating group of volunteers and staff and explores a variety of issues around women’s political, economic and social experiences in the local area and beyond. KHSU also has a number of volunteers who have hosted music shows for years, such as Go for Baroque, hosted

by Bonnie Burgess, and In the Tradition, a world folk show hosted by Dan Chandler.

The station also hosts Radio Bilingue, a community-based radio network that offers news and cultural information in Spanish and English, on 103.3 FM and 89.7 FM; and the BBC, a 24-hour news and information service, on 90.1 FM and 107.7 FM. Two homegrown, student-produced shows, Naturaleza y Comunidad and

Charlando con la Raza, can be heard on Radio Bilingue.

One could argue that KHSU seems to check most of the boxes on Wruck’s vision statement list. It provides local news focused on community issues; it is actively expanding its diversity of voices; it acts as a hub for civil dialogue; it provides internships and educational experiences to students; it promotes arts, culture and entertainment along the North Coast; and it has the processes in place to get out information during an emergency situation or natural disaster. But despite all of this local public affairs programming, the airwaves of KHSU are not exactly brimming with local content. Aside from the daily hour of local news and public affairs shows and Thursday Night Talk, a call-in show about local issues, most of the rest of the time is filled with either music or syndicated programming.

It’s unclear what the administration’s goals are for expanding diversity, providing local news and serving as a hub for political dialogue. While it’s arguable that KHSU might benefit from doing more of these things, most of the items on Wruck’s list are subjective and none are focused on numbers.

Eden, a longtime host, content director and producer of several shows, says the station has been adding local content despite all of the recent turmoil. She said she has been writing grants to expand KHSU’s programming for the past six years.

Her goal is to get KHSU more engaged in the broader Humboldt region — beyond Arcata, Eureka and McKinleyville and into outlying areas, like Hoopa and Weitchpec — to highlight people doing good work.

“I want to get storytelling just more

Build to edge of the document Margins are just a safe area

generally on our station, different understandings, different worldviews,” she said, adding that whether that’s reaching out to the tribal radio station KIDE in Hoopa to produce youth stories, or focusing on Native foods on Food for Thought, her aim is to build collaborations.

“What I hear from a lot of the outlying communities is that they feel invisible and part of that’s geography,” she said. “People just feel like, ‘Nobody gives a hoot about us out here — how do we tell people about what’s going on?’ These are our neighbors.

Just because they’re over a hill doesn’t mean that what they’re doing doesn’t matter. So it’s just trying to share the microphone with folks out there.”

As for student involvement — another of the eight purposes on the vision and purpose statement — HSU student numbers have fluctuated throughout the years, partially dependent on HSU journalism department faculty. There are five students earmarked for this year through the KHSU Experience, an upper-level journalism class in which students can be involved in any capacity — from making pre-recorded announcements and monitoring live recorded shows to fundraising and even producing their own content. This is one of the areas that Wruck mentioned he would like to expand.

“That’s got to be No. 1 for us, serving student needs,” he said in an interview.

“We could do a better job in that.”

first licensed non-commercial FM station in the California university and state college systems.

The station continued to grow, getting more funding and equipment, and providing more diverse programming.

Students still produced local news but now there was also an increasing variety of music for the greater listening area.

The call letters became KHSU in 1972, reflecting the change from Humboldt State College to Humboldt State University.

KHSU took a big leap again at the end of 1983, expanding to its current reach of 9,000 watts.

But when the station’s listenership grew, it also drew corresponding increases in both interest and complaints.

According to Mark Larson, a retired HSU journalism professor, complaints usually centered around quality of on-air broadcast and charges of political bias in the public affairs programming. Others just didn’t like the music they heard. People began to lobby for syndicated shows like NPR’s news programs, classical shows and other programming, like A Prairie Home Companion, which couldn’t be heard in the area.

KHSU was student-run until 1987 when C. Parker Van Hecke, from Alaska, was hired to be its first general manager. The station severed ties with what had become the Speech Communication Department and became an independent entity, reporting to the dean of the College of Arts and Humanities. Van Hecke, whose mandate was to grow the station, aimed to get it qualified by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), and he did so by reconfiguring budget allocations to meet the CPB’s requirement of having five fulltime employees.

“We had to jump through a few hoops to qualify for CPB funding … and there was a lot of outcry,” recalled Geraldine Goldberg, a CAB member who worked at the station at the time. “Like, ‘Oh no, you’re going all NPR … we’re going to lose the local flavor.’”

Van Hecke, the former general manager who now resides in Guam, said, “It was a wonderful, colorful, challenging time for KHSU as the station was growing into a powerful, professional information and entertainment provider.” They were airing more network news, which meant that some local music shows had to go. “No more two hours of ‘one string lute,’ no

“That’s got to be No. 1 for us, serving student needs.”

A Long History

While there were a few sporadic radio broadcasts from Humboldt State College in the 1930s, the campus’ first radio station, KIEM, began as a student training program.

Set up in Founder’s Hall by two faculty members, John Karshner and John Van Duzer of the college’s speech and drama departments, KIEM began broadcasting in 1941 through phone lines to a transmitter in Eureka.

The station changed its call letters to KHSC-AM in 1947 and expanded to 10 watts. (For perspective, a 10-watt AM station can reach only campuswide; today’s 9,000-watt FM station broadcasts throughout Humboldt County.)

Then, in 1955, Roscoe Peithman and his electronics class built the station’s first transmitter and began broadcasting a regular schedule of programming for six hours each weekday. In 1960, KHSC became the

more ‘Morning Drive Acid Rock’, no more news stories based on conspiracy theories.”

The station had also allowed a lot of firebrand editorial comments; that all had to end as well.

“Our priority was to build a high-quality news and entertainment service in a non-commercial environment,” Van Hecke said. “After everyone realized how important the goal was, the criticism went away and the KHSU professional staff created a great radio station. I was very lucky to have competent and hard-working people to hire into those first jobs.”

He said the day the station became CPB-qualified was one of the greatest moments of his professional life.

“I was so proud to be able to bring such a valuable service into the lives of so many people,” he said. “The criticisms were expected and, hopefully, were dealt with in a respectful but firm way.”

The station now had both a dedicated student base and a growing listening audience. It continued to grow and expand with more transmitters and upgrades, raising money through grants and fundraisers.

Then in 1999, the station was again shifted under a new campus department — from the College of Arts and Humanities to the Office of University Advancement, which provides fundraising and marketing services for the campus. For the first time, the station was no longer overseen by an academic department.

And therein may lie at least some of the current conflict. Some KHSU members see the administration, from the president on down to KHSU’s general manager, as separate from the community. Most administrators are hired from out of the area; KHSU volunteers and employees, by contrast, have histories here, many having been part of the station for years. This has helped create the perception, right

or wrong, of an administration overlord who knows and cares little about the radio station it oversees. This perception has fueled fears — evidenced by hours of public comment at contentious CAB meetings — that KHSU is being turned into a “boilerplate NPR station” that produces no local content and has no volunteers.

Yet looking at Wruck’s draft vision statement, it’s hard to find anything to support that fear, as the outline mentions increasing local programming, diversity and student voices.

When reached for comment after the July CAB meeting, Wruck said he was surprised at the strong negative reaction he received but chalked it up to poor communication. He insisted he wasn’t pushing a top-down process with the draft vision, just trying to give people a starting point, noting that he always shudders “to just hand people a blank sheet of paper.”

“I did not express myself clearly enough,” he said, adding that if those involved decide to tear his draft vision statement up and come up with something else, “that’s fine.”

Wruck said he met with several CAB members in closed session back in June to discuss drafting a vision and purpose statement but there was clearly a misunderstanding. He stressed that the university does not have a master plan to close down the station or convert it to a National Public Radio corporate entity.

“That just isn’t true,” he said.

Wruck’s comment — and the perceived need for it — underscore the level of mistrust and misunderstanding that continue to punctuate the current atmosphere surrounding KHSU. Wruck and CAB president Tom Hinz are putting together a series of townhall meetings to address current issues concerning the station.

“I think for the foreseeable future, we ought to have some sort of communi-

ty input meeting about once a month,” Wruck said. “There’s a lot of moving parts right now and we need to keep people up to speed.”

Violations and an Audit Another contentious issue discussed at the July CAB meeting was Rossbacher’s request that the California State University step in to conduct a far-reaching audit of KHSU. In a July 19 letter, Rossbacher asked the CSU’s Office of Audit and Advisory Services to evaluate KHSU’s operations, administration and oversight, including “a review process for authorizing access to KHSU work areas and transmitter sites.”

The letter also asks the office to review the station’s accounts payable process, communication between staff and administration, and volunteer engagement and training processes. It’s essentially asking for a top-down assessment of KHSU’s operations.

“I believe this advisory services project will be valuable in helping us strengthen our existing business practices, supporting our community service, minimizing unnecessary liability and ensuring that we are managing our resources as effectively as possible,” Rossbacher wrote.

The letter came on the heels of a string of Federal Communications Commission violations at KHSU that have become a point of contention between staff and the administration. According to HSU spokesperson Aileen Yoo, both callers and guests used profanity in several instances during two Thursday Night Talk programs in April. The FCC counts each word as a violation and the fine can be as much as $3,000 per word.

“They were violations that, had we

been caught, would have resulted in fines,” Wruck told the CAB in July. “Those fines would have been levied against the trustees of the California State University.”

He went on to explain that he instructed Fretwell to call the FCC and self-report the violations, eliciting groans from meeting attendees. But Wruck persisted, saying, “That resulted in the FCC recording the violations but not fining us, so I think that was a good thing to do.”

Yoo also confirmed that KHSU has been behind on some of its accounts due to delays in internal processing and has incurred finance charges. When asked for clarification, Yoo said, “We don’t have specific figures yet, though it’s not so much about the money. It’s about being a responsible community partner by paying our vendors on time. However, any finance charges are not a good use of donor or state money.”

Asked to clarify why Rossbacher was requesting a review of access to KHSU work areas and transmitter sites, Yoo said that only one person currently has authorized access to the station’s transmitter sites, which doesn’t make sense in the case of an emergency, such as an earthquake.

The Flash Point

A clear undercurrent in — and potentially a detriment to — all these discussions is that much of the KHSU community is still roiled about Whiteside’s sudden firing.

Whiteside, popular among staff and volunteers, has not spoken publicly about her dismissal and did not respond to multiple requests for comment for this story. She is now working for KEET-TV. The only other people who truly know why Whiteside was fired are Fretwell and HSU administrators, who are legally prevented from talking about it, leaving fertile ground for distrust, rumors and frustration.

Even with no information publicly available about why she was terminated, many have blamed Fretwell and demanded his resignation. He’s become a flashpoint in the conversation and some have stepped forward to accuse him of a lack of leadership and even fostering a hostile work environment.

Longtime station volunteer Russ Cole was effusive in his praise for Whiteside and her decades-long tenure at KHSU. “Katie Whiteside is one of the most dedicated workers I have ever seen,” he said.

“She was there seven days a week. She wasn’t paid to do that. That employee is pretty rare. It’s amazing that they are standing by this guy who has thrown the whole thing into turmoil.”

Fretwell declined to comment for this story. However, he indicated to the Lost Coast Outpost in May that in no way was the university’s decision to fire Whiteside made lightly.

“This went through the normal HSU processes,” he said. “[The decision] was gone over with a fine-tooth comb because this was painful to everybody. It was revisited repeatedly, before and after the decision was made. I think everybody in the line of review took extra care and extra time because this was painful.”

But hard feelings have clearly persisted, whether spurred by Whiteside’s termination or a deeper root cause. Eden, a KHSU content director and producer, said Fretwell just didn’t seem to like the region after moving here to take over KHSU in February of 2017.

“Within three weeks of being here, he called us ‘backward,’” Eden said, adding that the working environment at the station has soured. “Much of the staff comes up in the studio and hides with me because they do not want to be in Wagner House with him.”

A volunteer at the station echoed this sentiment.

Eden said Fretwell “didn’t like Katie from the get-go” and said disparaging things of Whiteside in Eden’s presence on numerous occasions, calling her “damaged” and “other unpleasant things.”

Lorna Bryant, host, producer and community liaison for the station, also said she witnessed some of Fretwell’s treatment of Whiteside in the months prior to her firing. Bryant said Whiteside would just “camp out in the studio” because her relationship with Fretwell had grown so tense.

“Either Peter wasn’t communicating with her at all or, if he was communicating, he was basically barking at her demands that were unfounded or unrealistic or unreasonable,” Bryant said.

Eden also alleged that Fretwell intentionally “withheld job information” from Whiteside, “professionally undermining her.” She also said Fretwell made programming demands on Whiteside that made no sense, relating an incident in which Fretwell allegedly insisted that Whiteside air content that was not ready for broadcast in place of studio guests who were waiting to go on.

“That’s just one example,” said Eden.

“But it was such a train wreck.”

That incident had to do with Floss’ show, Immigrant Voices. He said that Fretwell was at first supportive and enthusiastic about the show and offered to be its producer. However, Floss said Fretwell didn’t actually ever do any producing on the show, and during the incident described by Eden insisted that Floss put a minimally edited show on the air, which put others at the station under a lot of stress.

“I saw him pressure some employees to get it on the air. We felt pressured to get it on the air immediately … and it was wrong,” Floss said. “I believe his impulse was good, but I saw it upset the boat.”

Eden said she has met with both Rossbacher and Wruck, as well as Colleen Mullery in the university’s human resources department, to share her concerns about what’s happening in the KHSU office, even saying she feels unsafe in her job. She said her concerns have gone unaddressed.

While some employees expressed misgivings about Fretwell and others simply declined to comment for this story, some also indicated they didn’t see any cause for alarm.

“I don’t find that much changed in the office after Peter was hired,” said Monica Topping, KHSU’s development assistant, adding that she hasn’t witnessed any instances of inappropriate behavior. “He’s not much of a micromanager, so we come in and do our jobs, and he catches up with us when he needs to, similar to our last manager.”

‘A Caustic Work Environment’ Since Whiteside’s dismissal the station has seen about 100 members cancel their donations in protest of the firing, amounting to about $17,000 in contributions for the current fiscal year. A few underwriters (businesses who support the station with larger donations) have pulled out to the projected tune of about $30,500 for the fiscal year.

“I would say for almost all of them, [Whiteside’s firing] was the precipitating factor,” said Underwriting Coordinator Jeff DeMark.

According to HSU spokesperson Yoo, KHSU’s current annual operating budget is approximately $1.3 million, 13 percent of which comes from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The university covers $265,000 in personnel costs and an additional $260,000 to cover administrative support and hard costs, such as facilities, equipment, and utilities, comprising a little more than 38 percent of the total budget.

(It’s worth noting that HSU has maintained

this funding through years of budget cuts that have claimed other popular programs and offerings.) The remaining 49 percent of operating costs come through contributions from listeners, businesses and local organizations.

After the June CAB meeting, the board formally submitted a vote of no confidence in Fretwell, requesting his termination and expressing a concern over a perceived lack of transparency from HSU administration regarding KHSU. The board said that it had received “a deluge of communication from community members at an unprecedented level” and that “members of the public, the community of listeners who engage daily with KHSU and those who support KHSU have spoken loudly, repeatedly and with great passion with regard to their concerns, the strained relationship between HSU and KHSU, and their lack of confidence in the KHSU general manager.”

In response, Rossbacher sent a letter to the CAB thanking its members for their “good work on behalf of KHSU and Humboldt State University” and reminding members, “We must ensure that all personnel matters, including those affecting both staff and leadership, are handled with respect and confidentiality.”

Wruck, meanwhile, continues to support Fretwell, whom he hired as a “change agent,” saying he has met expectations and isn’t going anywhere.

“It’s a caustic work environment at KHSU right now,” Wruck said. “I don’t think that started with Peter Fretwell and my observation is we really need to bring that to an end. It needs to be a more collaborative and supportive working environment, and that’s one of the things I expect Peter to work on.”

Wruck also conceded that he may have added to the sense of unease surrounding Fretwell and KHSU’s direction with his choice of language.

“I caused a bit of anxiety to the staff when I used the term ‘change agent’ to describe Peter Fretwell,” Wruck said. “I meant it as a compliment. I see change as growing and flourishing, and KHSU, I think, really stands at a threshold here to grow.”

But some KHSU volunteers say Fretwell isn’t showing much leadership for someone brought in to instigate change.

Halimah Collingwood, a volunteer of nearly 30 years, said she was hopeful when Fretwell was hired — thinking he could take KHSU to “that next level.” After a couple of months on the job, she said Fretwell asked to meet with her and told her KHSU’s operations were “dysfunctional” and “ego-driven,” “and he wanted to clear those kind of things up.” But she said there’s never been a staff-volunteer

At July’s CAB meeting, she addressed Wruck: “If Peter has qualities that you respect, I would love to see a turnaround and see him approach us and include us and make us one community again.”

When asked why Fretwell was not at the meeting, Wruck said he had become a “lightning rod” that got in the way of the CAB doing its job so Wruck attended in his place.

“Peter has been subject to quite a bit of disparagement and even slander,” Wruck said.

Visioning the Future

KHSU’s future is uncertain and some people are nervous — especially those personally invested in the station. But the administration says KHSU is not going anywhere and, in fact, the university has plans to increase both student input and local programming, the kind that Eden has been working on. Wruck pointed out that HSU, because of its rural location, has not only an educational and research mission from the CSU, but also a community service mandate, a role that KHSU fills.

“There wouldn’t be anybody else to provide a public radio service in this region if it weren’t for us,” Wruck said in a recent interview.

When asked whether the administration is coming up with ways to fund the expansion of programming, Wruck said it is.

When asked how, he said, “The answer to your question is we’re going to do more of the good stuff that we’re doing. It needs to be more strategic than that, but we need to decide where to put the priorities.”

Wruck mentioned that the acquisition of the license for Radio Bilingue was done entirely with grant support. He said that the university doesn’t have a grant writer

working within the Office of University Advancement, adding that if he could get the resources to “make any expansion” in the office, that’s what he would do.

The vice president said he doesn’t have plans to do away with KHSU’s volunteers, as some have feared, but conceded the work they do might change. One of the changes he’s mentioned is that he wants to see KHSU provide more digital delivery, which he says the station is not using “anywhere near as extensively as we could.”

“There will be changes and I understand that anxiety,” Wruck said. “It will be different but I don’t know what different looks like.”

The administration plans to gather input from the CAB and present it to KHSU’s staff and volunteers in September to gather their input. The October phase will involve reaching out to the broader community, and they’ve been brainstorming how to best do that. One idea is to have forums on KHSU in which people can weigh in on what they want out of the radio station.

“We believe we have an audience that measures in the tens of thousands. I need to hear from those people,” Wruck said.

“Our Spanish-speaking audience — we need to hear from them about what they think of Radio Bilingue. We’ve been doing some small local inserts. Do they want more of that? Would they rather just take the feed from Fresno? You know, those are all bits of information we need to gather.” l

n Aug. 20, real estate agent Don Chin of Community Realty set tongues wagging and mouths watering when he posted on Facebook that escrow had just closed on a vacant lot on Broadway. “What’s coming there in the future you might ask? Hint: It’s finger lickin’ good,” he wrote. Once again, Kentucky Fried Chicken is coming to Eureka.

There was some genuine excitement over the prospect of the return of the Colonel and his oily southern charms — who among us hasn’t chased the extra crispy dragon at one time or another?

— and some curiosity about who would try to turn that grim patch of land into a restaurant.

That vacant lot was once the site of the infamous and profoundly unappetizing Blue Heron Motel, a squalid property owned by Floyd and Betty Squires, whose storied battles with tenants and the city of Eureka over neglect have been chronicled in this paper and others. Highlights include then Eureka Police Capt. Steve Watson’s description of having roaches rain down on him in the motel, its burning in an act of arson in August of 2017 and the city of Eureka sending out a press release to local media repeating fairly scandalous unconfirmed allegations about Floyd Squires.

But a year later, its charred bones razed, the Blue Heron has left a highway-facing plot ripe for a drive-thru.

Location, location, location.

Listing agent Tina Christensen, also of Coldwell Banker, said over the phone that, despite the property’s “interesting condition,” it isn’t such a surprise that the place sold close to its asking price

at $1 million without ever officially going on the market. Christensen said it was a score to find “frontage near the 101 corridor and [a chance to] get anything done in a reasonable amount of time.”

The opposite side of the street, she notes, is largely under Coastal Commission jurisdiction, leading to all kinds of potential environmentally related delays for developers.

“We drove up and down Eureka and he really wanted to be in the area down by the mall,” said Chin of his scouting trip with buyer Todd Stewart, CEO of Argonaut Food Partners LLC and Argonaut California Ventures based in Klamath Falls, Oregon. Stewart eventually paid $1 million for the property and plans to build a Kentucky Fried Chicken there.

Eureka has been home to the chicken chain before, with a location at 823 Broadway and Washington Street and another at 1019 Myrtle Ave. — the same spot where Church’s Chicken briefly stood — but they slipped away like flimsy crust off a drumstick.

According to KFC’s franchise help website for prospective owners, slinging slaw for the Colonel is no light undertaking — it takes a lot of cabbage. You need $750,000 in liquid capital and a net worth of $1.5 million. The estimated start-up cost to make your Kentucky-fried dreams come true ranges from $1.2 million to $2.5 million, which makes the $45,000 franchise fee and monthly royalty and advertising fees — 5 percent of gross for each — look like a mere biscuit on the side of a 1.5 million-piece bucket.

The old image of the local momand-pop franchise is hard to square with the amount of capital it takes to get on

board with the company. All the McDonalds joints in Humboldt are owned by a couple who live in the county, but the Burger Kings belong to Eureka Restaurant LLC, based in Dublin, California, and kin to a spread of other companies with the same owner. While Stewart was tied up in meetings and unable to talk with the Journal, his assistant was able to confirm Stewart Restaurant Group is the management group for his (and his partners’ in some cases) 86 restaurants, KFCs, KFC/ Taco Bells, KFC/A&Ws and one Long John Silver’s among them.

As for jobs and other impacts on the local economy, it’s unclear how many full or part-time staff will be needed for the new location. However, Indeed.com lists average wages for KFC employees in California as hovering around $10 per hour, with cashiers coming in at $9.62, shift managers at $10.42 and cooks at $9.22.

For the most part, even locally owned fast-food operations don’t buy local, instead trucking in their supplies from paper hats to patties from out-of-town — with the exception of Burger King, which uses Franz buns. KFC locations use the same supply method, shipping in everything from the fry oil to the napkins it ends up on.

While we may never get the Colonel’s secret recipe, we can guess some fraction of the profits will likely end up with political candidates. According to OpenSecrets.com, which tracks political donations, Stewart regularly gives to the Kentucky Fried Chicken Franchisees Inc. PAC, with a total of $4,500 in donations from 2014 to 2018. The PAC has supported 90 percent Republican candidates, including Ted Cruz, Kevin McCarthy, Mimi Walters, Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan.

The PAC’s 2018 donations tally up to $190,000 and it’s only September.

Still unconfirmed is whether the Eureka location will be solely a KFC or a Janus-like hybrid with, say, an A&W or one of the other chains owned by the Yum! Brands, Inc., (yes, the exclamation point is part of the name) on one side.

Who knows? Maybe the third time’s lucky and Stewart’s outpost will stick. Location, location, location. l Jennifer Fumiko Cahill is the arts and features editor at the Journal.

The Figure in Balance Steven Vander Meer seeks equilibrium at Piante

By Gabrielle Gopinath artbeat@northcoastjournal.com

“

alance has got a couple of meanings,” Steven Vander Meer remarked, regarding the drawings he had made. “Bodies balance.

Stones balance. And there’s another kind of balance in these compositions.”

Vander Meer’s new show at Piante Gallery explores balance from multiple angles. A polygonal sandbox hosts precarious looking stacks of vertically balanced stones. Figure drawings printed on sleek

Steven Vander Meer’s 2018 “Moving Drawing #1,” digital animation. Courtesy of the artist

aluminum plates balance observations from life with hard-edged graphic effects created on an iPad. Nude models do the balancing in a suite of 41 drawings done with graphite and India ink on paper. Each model’s body is rendered in personalized detail. Line conveys not just peripherals like tattoos and curls, but also fundamentals of carriage and posture, so the suite captures 41 different ways of holding the body in the world.

Vander Meer has been honing his draughtsman’s skills designing rubber stamps under the name Meer Image since the early ’90s. He co-founded the Arcata Life Drawing Circle and currently directs the group’s weekly Thursday sessions. Since 1988, he’s been transforming his drawings into animated films.

The models in these drawings are all women, set apart from context and centered on the page. The figures have no companions other than the viewer, whose presence they are evidently aware of at all times. The abstract sets that Vander Meer uses to situate his figures often take their compositional cues from the model’s pose. Line records each model’s bulges and concavities with energy and zest, breathing enthusiasm for the contours that make subjects physically unique. The traditionally gendered, stylized encounter between artist and model is presented here in all its glory and quasi-latent eroticism, as a primal scene of looking that can be revisited.

This dynamic benefits from contextualization in the era of #MeToo, and the artist emphasizes the models’ role in the creative process in his statement, writing: “The models who have contributed their energy to this project are powerful, confident women to whom I owe a debt of

24 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Aug. 30, 2018 • northcoastjournal.com

gratitude. The sharing of one’s body for artists to study and learn from — and be inspired by — is an invaluable gift.”

Figures are given titles that make them sound like Stieg Larsson novels and inserted into a black-and-white universe full of hard edges, abstract shapes and smoothly arcing curves. Titles, rendered in all caps, are collaged onto the drawing surface like words in a vintage-edition kidnapper’s note. Each introduces the model as contemporary heroine: “The Girl in the Bubble,” “The Girl Who Farmed Rabbits,” “The Girl Who Thought Too Much,” “The Girl In Between,” “The Girl on the Stones,” and so on. In each instance, text plus imagery is more than enough to suggest the kernel of narrative. As for the models themselves, “even when their faces are turned away, their overall presence is there,” the artist told me. “I can recognize it in every one (of the finished drawings).”

As each figure balances herself in a pose, she is counterbalanced on the page by a vertical arrangement of balanced stones. Why stones? “The figure floating by itself on the page didn’t seem ‘done’ to me,” Vander Meer said. “So I started to balance it out with other things, like stones, because that provided a parallel.”

Three animated “moving drawings” presented on flat screens balance differently. They represent posing figures who vibrate as though animated by white noise. The stop-motion animation cycles through a sequence of five drawings made from the same model and pose.

The drawings are similar, but no two are exactly alike. When they are rapidly cycled the eye perceives a jittery visual static, like Brownian motion writ large.

“It’s like taking five different photographs of the same person,” Vander Meer said.

“Common characteristics emerge. A certain spirit or manner of posing is revealed.”

Things get weird when the flickering static at the figures’ edges resolves into a pattern. Models articulate a series of almost identical poses, cycling smoothly through the sequence in a way that is completely uninflected with expression, as though emulating the deadpan affect of a blinking neon sign. This pantomime motion carries a chilly, machined erotic charge — especially in “Moving Drawing #2,” where the model, seated astride a cairn of suggestively shaped stones, twitches back and forth in a low-definition, slo-mo grind that pays comic homage to “The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even,” Marcel Duchamp’s major machine-sex statement of 1915-23.

These drawings’ quest for balance is also a search for essence. The ancient Greeks thought about balance this way.

When the Greek painter Zeuxis could not find a model he thought beautiful enough to pose as Helen of Troy, he supposedly painted a diverse selection of 100 beautiful women instead — hoping that this opportunity for comparison would enable him to perceive a clarified essence that would represent ideal beauty. As art historian Kenneth Clark described, the history of the nude in Western art is profoundly shaped by this approach to the ideal.

While our culture celebrates all things “extreme,” the Greeks inscribed the motto “nothing in excess” on Apollo’s shrine at Delphi. Quirky, thoughtful and a pleasure to peruse because of the ingenuity with which it explores its theme, “The Figure in Balance” makes the case that Apollonian virtues like balance, order and reason are due for a return. l Steven Vander Meer’s The Figure in Balance will be at Piante Gallery through September.

- NOW OFFERING DRY AGED BEEF -

I

’m still buzzing from the Napalm Death show last Saturday so I will keep this brief. Have a safe Labor Day weekend and if you go on a trip, look out for the other drivers. And if you stick around, try to catch a few shows because, as that lovely Calvin and Hobbes collection reminds us, the days are just packed.

Thursday

Jenna Pup, who fronts the trans-queer grindcore act HIRS, brings her solo show all the way from the city of brotherly love to the Outer Space tonight at 7 p.m. ($5).

Joining Jenna will be local punk acts The Cissies and Daniel.

Nearly half a century into its career, Black Uhuru is still touring strong, albeit with only one original member, leader Duckie Simpson. If you want a chance to catch these monolithic legends of reggae play a set tonight, fear not. Simpson and company will be playing Humbrews at 9 p.m. ($25). Talented Belgian singer Onesty opens the evening’s entertainment.

Friday The Madrone is a relatively new joint with a beer bar and woodfired pizzas. Tonight after the Eureka Friday Night Market, it’s going to be a venue as well, when fuzz chuggers Hollow Down join the magical Mister Moonbeam and the heartfelt high drifters Mojave Green for a free show in the heart of Old Town.

Saturday Brooklyn has spawned another neat fusion band whose tour brings its sounds to our fair county, specifically the stage at the Outer Space at 7 p.m. Combo Chimbita melds a heavy mix of vintage psychedelia with rock and Colombian cumbia rhythms to forge a new alloy in the dance music industry ($10). Along for the ride is similarly minded local act La Mancha.

An hour later over at Blondies, Portland is in town as PDX rock bands Drooler, On Drugs and Ah God join local act Dimboi in a line-up that reads like a sentence from a cut-up technique journal I forgot to keep in my 20s. Anyway, it’s an all-ages gig and the cover’s only $5 so there you have it.

All good things must come to an end and with the imminent departure of two core members — including my good

friend Dieter — Motherlode has decided to call it quits. But as another cliché goes, God doesn’t close a door without opening a window and the silverlining in this story — am I having a stroke? — is the new album being feted tonight at Motherlode’s going away show/album release party at The Jam at 9 p.m. ($10). So come on out and see one of Humco’s best OG funk bands kick out the jams for the history books.

Sunday It’s the last day of the Redwood Run — the North Coast’s big motorcycle meet and variety show — and this year the fest comes at the end of the summer and much farther north of its usual SoHum setting, in Blue Lake to be precise.

There are carny-influenced circus acts and daredevil. The musical acts include Everlast, local metal journeymen Dead Man’s Tale and a bluesy band fronted by the former Peg Bundy and matriarch of the fictional biker gang SAMCRO on TV’s Sons of Anarchy (but someone who will forever live in my heart as Turanga Leela from the excellent Futurama) Katey Sagal.

Day passes start at $75 with package deals for the entire weekend but if you want a tip on a fun auxiliary event, I suggest you head over to the Logger Bar at 8 p.m., where there will be a wet tighty-whitey contest reserved for the bravest of bikers.

How wet and how unblemished will these bikers’ briefs be? Choke down your trepidation and come find out.

Monday (Labor Day) It’s the 33rd annual I Street Block Party in Arcata, with all proceeds from the event going toward our sister city of Camoapa, Nicaragua. With all of the fierce government-led violence and oppression going down in Nicaragua recently I am certain

that this is an excellent time to show some support and solidary. It’s a free event kicking off around noon and will feature lots of live music from local acts The Gatehouse Well, Kingfoot, Motherlode and The Latin Peppers. This is also one of our most important holidays as Americans, when we celebrate the progress and achievements of workers and social movements here and around the world.

To quote The Internationale, “You have nothing if you have no rights.” Never forget the multitudes who bled and fell in the name of labor and human rights — they are by far the largest casualty count in human history.

Tuesday

Mexican heavy flamenco duo Rodrigo y Gabriela are world-touring masters of their craft and astonishingly talented guitar players. Together the duo plays a fast, highly percussive hybrid of acoustic rumba music that electrifies with its virtuosic kinetic energy. They appear tonight at The Van Duzer Theatre at 8 p.m. and are a must-see for any fans of seamless and exhilarating guitar playing ($66).

Wednesday

Beach Goth pioneers The Growlers find a new home tonight in the foggy lowlands of Arcata — specifically at the Arcata Community Center — where its neon boardwalk depression chic will slither around the place for a stylish yet detached evening of greasy fun at 9 p.m. ($25). Joining in will be Aussie songwriter Kirin J Callanan. l Collin Yeo thinks this would be a much better place if we celebrated artists, workers and human rights activists with the same reverence we reserve for war hawks and politicians. He lives in Arcata.

Labor of Love You’ve heard the buzz about Old Town’s new art and now you can check it out for yourself while making a night of it at the Clarke Historical Museum’s Labor Day Block Party on Saturday, Sept. 1 from 6 to 9 p.m. at Third and E streets (free).

The fun takes place during September’s Arts Alive! so the weather should be at its Humboldt best (fingers crossed). Enjoy a last breath of summer evening with friends, families or your sweetheart, strolling the town enjoying wine and coffee, nibbling on locally made treats and taking in the sights and sounds of local artists and musicians. The Clarke’s contribution to this splendid evening includes free admission to the museum where you can see the current exhibits, check out what’s good with Humboldt Made and sip and sample while bobbing your head to the mellow vibes of Wynsome Winds. Outside in the Clarke Plaza, dance to the percussive salsa sounds of the Latin Peppers and peruse the trinkets and treasures aplenty at the rummage sale. Members of the museum’s board will be grilling up shish kabobs of both the vegetarian and meat variety, while Lost Coast Brewery and Six Rivers Brewery pour beer and Violet-Green Winery brings the wine. Music in the square, art on the walls and the sizzling smell of a corner cookout wafting on the air all under strings of lights. And all as a fundraiser for the museum. It’s no labor at all.

Head east to Willow Creek this weekend for fun at the tiny town’s biggest event, the 58th annual Bigfoot Daze Celebration making its appearance Saturday, Sept. 1 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (free admission). The town-wide event goes all day long with music, games, activities, food and craft booths, a deep-pit barbecue and more. Things kick off with the parade down Main Street at 10 a.m. This year’s theme is Superhero Bigfoot, so keep an eye out for a conspicuous figure hulking about in a XXXXXXXXL cape. We’re not saying the big guy’s making an appearance, yeti might.

The kids’ ice cream social packs ’em in starting at 10 a.m. over at the Willow Creek Museum, where you can see all manner of Bigfoot memorabilia.

Jimi Jeff & The Gypsy Band rock The Forks Lounge early, starting their first set at 10:30 a.m. (grab a Bloody Mary — they’re practically a salad and on special all day). After the parade, get to steppin’ to Veterans Park around 11 a.m. for food vendors, beer, art, crafts, water slides, a bounce house, a rock wall and a softball tournament. At noon, there’s a horseshoe tournament, live music, kids’ bike games, a balloon toss and more. Bring your best freaky scream to the Bigfoot Call Contest at 1 p.m. or get racy at the Adult Bike Games. At 2 p.m. watch the Sasquatches send seeds flying at the watermelon eating contest or see who stacks up in the logging competition at 3 p.m.

When it’s all over, head back to the Forks for rock and roll from the Movers and the Shakers at 8 p.m. or roll to Rockslide Bar & Grill at 9 p.m. for DJ dancing and drink specials.

Puppets in L.A.

And hip-hop opera in Oakland

By John J. Bennett

filmland@northcoastjournal.com THE HAPPYTIME MURDERS. So they’ve got this this LA detective noir filled with violence and drugs and sex, enacted by puppets — Henson puppets, no less! — and Melissa McCarthy? That’s gold, by my lights. Or at least it should be; it’s just that somebody has to do the hard work to take a fun, one-line idea — which, if we’re being honest, could have been produced during a dorm room smoke sesh — and turn it into a feature length movie, ideally one with a nuanced plot, dynamic characters and a modicum of style. I won’t say The Happytime Murders failed in that transition.

But what it is suggests what it might have been more than it satisfies. And in suggesting that greater shadow self, a darker, more evolved iteration, the movie sets up an impossible comparison to an imagined ideal. The Happytime Murders is a lot of fun: The puppetry is unparalleled, the script is funny, coarse and liberally seasoned with expletives. But it also introduces a number of ideas hinting at something tougher and more substantial under the fuzzy skin that go unexplored. I found myself wondering what crueler, more illuminating truths could have been told. I should have taken the movie by its own merits but there is so much early-draft promise in it that I struggled and failed to combat the distraction, Phil Philips (voiced by Bill Barretta), once the only puppet officer in the LAPD, now runs a semi-squalid private investigation service. He struggles with the anti-puppet prejudice he sees every day on the streets and with the bad shooting that got him bounced from the department. When a sex-bomb client sidles into his office, seeking relief from a blackmailer, Phil takes the case. His investigation immediately finds him at the center of a series of gruesome puppet murders. Paired reluctantly with his former partner, Detective Connie Edwards (McCarthy), Phil soon realizes the killer is targeting The Happytime Gang, the cast of a decades old children’s’ program, Phil’s brother Larry Shenanigans among them.

The body count rises as Connie and Phil draw closer to the killer, relitigating the past and rebuilding their relationship all the while.

Granted, I’m so saturated with the LA of Chandler, MacDonald and Ellroy that the mere suggestion of a detective in the City of Angels triggers an inescapable aesthetic flood, a composite world of impossible beauty and filth and man’s inhumanity to man, that The Happytime Murders would

have to have been directed by Denis Villeneuve and shot by Roger Deakins to stand a chance. But it wasn’t. It was competently directed by Brian Henson, and it has its own visual style, albeit a straightforward, no shadows/no surprises one. And in that style and storytelling, lies another problem. The movie makes tacit and explicit reference to a vast catalog of noir’s stylistic tropes and benchmarks that it doesn’t service. And the script lays a framework of race-hate and assimilation early on — Phil’s brother has had his skin lightened and his nose narrowed; Connie has a transplanted puppet liver that has contributed to her sugar dependency — that is abandoned in favor of humorous but sophomoric and ultimately unsatisfying sex jokes later. From a promising premise comes a middling result. R. 91M. BROADWAY, FORTUNA, MILL CREEK.

BLINDSPOTTING. As I watched this, the thought occurred to me that I shouldn’t even review it. It brought me such satisfaction, such hope, that on some level I feel that I can only demean it by explication.

And so this is the disclaimer: Blindspotting is better than I may make it seem.

Collin (Daveed Diggs) has been keeping his head down and satisfying the terms of his probation. He works with his best friend Miles (Rafael Casal) at a moving company, where his will-they-or-won’t-they ex Val (Janina Gavankar) is their immediate superior.

One night at a stoplight, he watches a white cop (Ethan Embry) kill a black man (Travis Parker) in the street. With three days left before he’s free, Collin’s compartmentalized life starts to spin into chaos and allegory.

Co-written by Diggs and Casal, directed by Carlos López Estrada, Blindspotting uses a deceptively simple premise to tell a thoughtful, hilarious, heartbreaking story about contemporary America, race, masculinity and economic disparity. It rises to hiphop opera, street style elevated to high art by the depth and honesty of its emotion and the raw authenticity of its storytelling.

It is also, vitally, a complex love letter to an Oakland that was and may never be again.

It’s the most striking, unique movie I’ve seen this year. R. 95M. MINOR. — John J. Bennett See showtimes at www. northcoastjournal.com or call: Broadway Cinema 443-3456; Fortuna Theatre 725-2121; Mill Creek Cinema 839-3456; Minor Theatre 822-3456; Richards’ Goat Miniplex 630-5000.

t may come as a surprise to some but I don’t like all bugs. There are many I find despicable. Mosquitoes kill more people than lions, tigers and bears combined. Fleas killed my dog. I’m extremely allergic to tick bites. I find flies — not all members of the order diptera but house flies, green bottle flies and blue bottle flies — disgusting. They live in and spread putrescence and decay. So, when I started getting a bunch of them in my house, I applied my extensive knowledge of their life histories to find a way to reduce their numbers.

It’s fun to kill them. There, I’ve said it.

One of my favorite inventions is the electric fly swatter, available when on sale at Harbor Freight for $2.99. Smack one with that contraption and you get a satisfying bug-zapper “snap!” and the smell of burning bug smoke. Another not-so-biggame-hunter favorite is the Bug-a-salt, essentially a shotgun for bugs that uses table salt as projectiles. With a range of up to about 2 feet, wing shooting them can be a challenging sport.

The problem with those is that there are way more flies out there than any human has time to kill.

Venus fly traps and pitcher plants, both of which lure flies to sticky ends with the promise of nectar before slowly digesting them, are effective if measured by how well they thrive. But their existence does not dictate eating every fly in the world — just enough for the plants to get the nutrients they need, so they, too, have a negligible effect.

When I lived outside of Reno, for two weeks in the fall every year our house was inundated by hundreds of flies every evening. I would fire up the trusty Kirby vacuum and suck them off the ceiling with the crevice tool. Each one down the tube made a satisfying thuup! sound and a slight recoil. Knowing they were being shredded by the impeller made the whole thing that much more satisfying.

From old-school fly paper traps to modern high-tech pheromone-baited traps, artificial lures and traps can be effective, capturing hundreds in a day or two.

A simple and effective trap can be made from a plastic soda bottle with a few V-shaped cuts, a bit of water and some rotten meat. A bit of advice: If you have a hard time with bad smells, half a quart jar of decaying flies sitting in the sun gets pretty bad.

Killing them being pointless, I finally hit on a method that works pretty well.

I make my place less attractive to them, knowing it doesn’t take much to fuel a critter that weighs 12 milligrams. A greasy thumbprint could provide enough calories to be attractive. So I started to immediately put all used dishes in the dishwasher or wash them by hand, regularly wash down my countertops with Mr. Clean, dispose of kitchen waste right away and, oh yeah, ferment my sauerkraut and kimchi out in the garage. ● For more HumBug, visit www.northcoastjournal.com on Sunday afternoons.

Homework: What pose would it be a relief for you to drop? How are you faking, and what could you do to stop? Freewillastrology.com.

freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): In Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, our heroine encounters a talking caterpillar as he smokes a hookah on top of a tall mushroom. “Who are you?” he asks her. Alice is honest: “I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.” She says this with uneasiness. In the last few hours, she has twice been shrunken down to a tiny size and twice grown as big as a giant. All these transformations have unnerved her. In contrast to Alice, I’m hoping you’ll have a positive attitude about your upcoming shifts and mutations, Aries. From what I can tell, your journey through the Season of Metamorphosis should be mostly fun and educational.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Juan Villarino has hitchhiked over 2,350 times in 90 countries. His free rides have carried him over 100,000 miles. He has kept detailed records, so he’s able to say with confidence that Iraq is the best place to catch a lift. Average wait time there is seven minutes. Jordan and Romania are good, too, with nine- and twelve-minute waits, respectively. In telling you about his success, I don’t mean to suggest that now is a favorable time to hitchhike. But I do want you to know that the coming weeks will be prime time to solicit favors, garner gifts, and make yourself available for metaphorical equivalents of free rides. You’re extra magnetic and attractive. How could anyone could resist providing you with the blessings you need and deserve?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): One of the big stories of 2018 concerns your effort to escape from a star-crossed trick of fate—to fix a long-running tweak that has subtly undermined your lust for life. How successful will you be in this heroic quest? That will hinge in part on your faith in the new power you’ve been developing. Another factor that will determine the outcome is your ability to identify and gain access to a resource that is virtually magical even though it appears nondescript. I bring this to your attention, Gemini, because I suspect that a key plot twist in this story will soon unfold.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Potential new allies are seeking entrance to your domain. Existing allies aspire to be closer to you. I’m worried you may be a bit overwhelmed; that you might not exercise sufficient discrimination. I therefore urge you to ask yourself these questions about each candidate. 1.

Does this person understand what it means to respect your boundaries? 2. What are his or her motivations for wanting contact with you? 3. Do you truly value and need the gifts each person has to give you? 4. Everyone in the world has a dark side. Can you intuit the nature of each person’s dark side? Is it tolerable? Is it interesting?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): While a young man, the future Roman leader Julius Caesar was kidnapped by Sicilian pirates. They proposed a ransom of 620 kilograms of silver. Caesar was incensed at the small size of the ransom—he believed he was worth more—and demanded that his captors raise the sum to 1,550 kilograms. I’d love to see you unleash that kind of bravado in the coming weeks, Leo—preferably without getting yourself kidnapped. In my opinion, it’s crucial that you know how valuable you are, and make sure everyone else knows, as well.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Romanian philosopher Emil Cioran loved the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. “Without Bach, God would be a complete second-rate figure,” he testified, adding, “Bach’s music is the only argument proving the creation of the Universe cannot be regarded as a complete failure.” I invite you to emulate Cioran’s passionate clarity, Virgo. From an astrological perspective, now is an excellent time to identify people and things that consistently invigorate your excitement about your destiny. Maybe you have just one shining exemplar, like Cioran, or maybe you have more. Home in on the phenomena that in your mind embody the glory of creation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I foresee the withering of a hope or the disappearance of a prop or the loss of leverage. This ending may initially make you feel melancholy, but I bet it will ultimately prove beneficent—and maybe lead you to resources that were previously unavailable. Here are rituals you could perform that may help you catalyze the specific kind of relief and release you need: 1. Wander around a graveyard and sing songs you love. 2. Tie one end of a string around your ankle and the other end around an object that symbolizes an influence you want to banish from your life.

Then cut the string and bury the object. 3. Say this ten times: “The end makes the beginning possible.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “If a man treats a life artistically, his brain is his heart,” wrote Oscar Wilde. I’ll translate that into a more complete version: “If a person of any gender treats life artistically, their brain is their heart.” This truth will be especially applicable for you in the coming weeks. You’ll be wise to treat your life artistically. You’ll thrive by using your heart as your brain. So I advise you to wield your intelligence with love. Understand that your most incisive insights will come when you’re feeling empathy and seeking intimacy. As you crystallize clear visions about the future, make sure they are generously suffused with ideas about how you and your people can enhance your joie de vivre.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “My tastes are simple,” testified Sagittarian politician Winston Churchill. “I am easily satisfied with the best.” I propose that we make that your motto for now. While it may not be a sound idea to demand only the finest of everything all the time, I think it will be wise for you to do so during the next three weeks. You will have a mandate to resist trifles and insist on excellence. Luckily, this should motivate you to raise your own standards and expect the very best from yourself.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Russian playwright Anton Chekhov articulated a principle he felt was essential to telling a good story: If you say early in your tale that there’s a rifle hanging on the wall, that rifle must eventually be used. “If it’s not going to be fired, it shouldn’t be hanging there,” declared Chekhov. We might wish that real life unfolded with such clear dramatic purpose. To have our future so well-foreshadowed would make it easier to plan our actions. But that’s not often the case. Many elements pop up in our personal stories that ultimately serve no purpose. Except now, that is, for you Capricorns. I suspect that in the next six weeks, plot twists will be telegraphed in advance.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Would it be fun to roast marshmallows on long sticks over scorching volcanic vents?

I suppose. Would it be safe? No! Aside from the possibility that you could get burned, the sulfuric acid in the vapors would make the cooked marshmallows taste terrible, and might cause them to explode. So I advise you to refrain from adventures like that. On the other hand, I will love it if you cultivate a playful spirit as you contemplate serious decisions.

I’m in favor of you keeping a blithe attitude as you navigate your way through tricky maneuvers. I hope you’ll be jaunty in the midst of rumbling commotions.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): People will be thinking about you more than usual, and with greater intensity. Allies and acquaintances will be revising their opinions and understandings about you, mostly in favorable ways, although not always.

Loved ones and not-so-loved ones will also be reworking their images of you, coming to altered conclusions about what you mean to them and what your purpose is. Given these developments, I suggest that you be proactive about expressing your best intentions and displaying your finest attributes. ●
