community with what is called social capital. Students practice working together cooperatively, strengthening relationships. Studies have shown that populations with social capital are more engaged, better able to defend their own interests and resist oppression. That these programs are being cut at CR does not deserve a meek response. The 34-year veteran teacher whose theatre program is a county institution should not be "thrown under the bus;" it is an outrage which should bring out our pitchforks and broomsticks. Of course, if we're looking for where the money went, try the bailout, or the $4 trillion-$6 trillion we spent on destroying Iraq and Afghanistan. Ellen Taylor, Petrolia Editor: It's nice that CR can sometimes provide a means to for us to indulge our avocations and fulfill our artistic expectations. But it would seem that when funds run low, it is time to reestablish the priorities which emphasize CR's basic mission, that of educating people so that they can participate in our ever more complex economy. Down the road, these same people might even earn enough so that they themselves can afford to take up an instrument and explore their own creative impulses. It wouldn't seem that the refocusing at CR would diminish our art-rich community which currently overflows with plenty of imaginative people now wandering around outside the box. If they are talented and ambitious enough they might want take their chances in New York, Hollywood or the like where they can become valued successors to those who now dominate the world of imagination and creativity. Don't think that the changes at CR will affect our supply of valued musicians, actors, writers, etc. But it might just supply us with some economically stable folk who might choose to support those who have chosen the creative life.

Weather or Not
hen journalism students tell me they want to go into TV News, I think of a friend of mine. When I got my first newspaper job, she her first job as a TV reporter. From there she worked freelance for a station in Los Angeles, then went back to New York and struggled. Finally, after she worked for years for almost no pay, a station in a major market offered her a job as anchor. She turned it down and when to business school. TV is rough. At the low end you struggle for little pay. You compete for jobs against a zillion people dying to be on air. You schlep heavy equipment and edit your own tape. Don't get me going about the types of inane stories you file day after day. But that's not what drove my friend out of TV. It was the guff she took over her hair. It wasn't fluffy. That's what her producers cared about, seemingly from station to station, coast to coast. She'd fluff it up and it still wasn't fluffy enough. She'd turn in kick-ass coverage of breaking news, or short investigative reports, or tearsproducing profiles, and all they seemed to care about was the flatness of her hair. It finally drove a terrific news reporter out of the business. I thought about her when I read the letters the Times-Standard has been printing lately about KIEM-TV meteorologist Cecilia Reeves. Some 13 readers so
far have weighed in on the quality of her voice, most complaining, some in support. Thirteen letters to the T-S qualifies as a barrage. There's an old joke that some people have faces for radio. I joke that I have a voice for print. In second grade I got pulled out of class for speech therapy — I couldn't differentiate my d's and g's, and I still have that trouble. My husband complains that I mumble. (I say, "Old man, get a hearing aid!") I didn't go into newspapers because of my lousy voice. I went into print because I could write. Now and then I help out radio station KHSU as an interview host for its show Thursday Night Talk. I do that in spite of my voice — what's important is that I can ask interesting questions that produce interesting answers. For some reason, we like to make fun of weather people. One of the funniest books I read was Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man by Fannie Flag. In it, the main character gets a job as a weather person at a tiny station, but she doesn't know anything about weather. She guesses that the weather report doesn't change much from morning to night, so each afternoon she takes the morning map and moves the sun and clouds a fraction. She gets fired. The morning girl had been doing the same thing. My favorite movie weatherman was Steve Martin in L.A. Story. He gets fired because after years of reporting the exact same sunny weather, he pre-tapes his weather
report so he can take off for a week. While he's away, a hurricane hits town. Why do we make fun of weather people? Maybe out of jealousy. Doesn't it seem like they make a lot of money for an easy job? How hard can it be to read the weather report? And how often are they wrong? Here is the thing. In New York, Los Angeles or Chicago, a chief meteorologist could make almost a million a year, but in the small markets they are lucky to make $20,000. To get those jobs they have to take all the science classes in college that most people avoid (I slept through high school physics). Most TV meteorologists have master's degrees. As does Reeves. Reeves had the unlucky fortune to take over from Jim Bernard, who not only was much loved, but who left his longtime position last year because a neurological condition affected his speech. So viewers were already a little too focused on voice quality when Reeves entered the picture. I empathize with Reeves for another reason. As a financial journalist, there were times when I was the only woman in the newsroom and often the only woman in a conference room of suits. To get equal respect I had to be three times as good, and often I still didn't get equal respect. It is difficult for a young woman to get respect when she takes over a job from an established older man in a maledominated field. This is truest in the TV news world,
and it isn't because of male audiences. Female audiences seem just as harsh on women newspeople. I've felt there were two really frustrating types of bosses — men who spout feminism and act in chauvinistic ways and women who act in male chauvinistic ways. Both male and female TV audiences fall into chauvinistic behaviors. We accept bald men in leading roles — Vin Diesel, Jason Statham, Bruce Willis— and overweight men in leading roles — Jack Black, Jonah Hill, Kevin James. Personality flaws, not hair loss, are costing Today Show host Matt Lauer his Q rating points (popularity scale for TV people). Legendary San Francisco news anchor Dave McElhatton, who died last year, was bald and talked like Elmer Fudd. But female stars and news people have to look and sound great. Bob Dylan sang you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. But maybe the weather woman needs the wind to blow her hair around if she wants to keep her job. So Cecilia, your audience will get used to your voice. But your hair? Better fluff it up.

Humboldt County and Lee Ulansey — the recently appointed county planning commissioner and former director of the Humboldt Coalition for Property Rights — will argue a public records case before a judge this week. With the help of Eureka attorney Allison Jackson, Ulansey has been asking the county for legal expense records for more than a year, calling for county transparency. The records in question detail how much money the county has spent defending and prosecuting several lawsuits — most prominently the county's suit against Bob McKee and more than 30 others over subdividing the Tooby Ranch property near Garberville. The county has spent more than $3 million on that particular legal battle, alleging that McKee accepted generous tax breaks in exchange for a promise not to develop his land — then broke that promise. A Humboldt County judge is considering issuing a penalty for McKee's actions in the next few months. Ulansey first submitted a public records
request at the end of 2011, asking the county to turn over the payment information for attorneys who were working on those cases. The county said no, arguing that details of an attorney's on-the-clock activities are protected by attorney-client privilege. It resisted until a state appellate court ruled in a similar case that the time and dollar amount spent on an attorney would not reveal that attorney's legal strategy. The state Supreme Court chose not to weigh in on the matter, effectively upholding the appellate court's decision. Humboldt County relented, producing files that it said fulfilled the original public request HumCPR made back in 2011. But that wasn't the end. Jackson and Ulansey said the records weren't sufficient — they wanted to know how much time the county's in-house attorneys spent working on the lawsuits. The county countered that those records don't exist, and that besides, Ulansey and Jackson didn't pick up the first batch of records before telling the court they were insufficient. Since then, Jackson and Ulansey have looked over the files. The county's redactions went too far, they said, removing details about where visiting
attorneys stayed and ate. They argued that attorney's time sheets — some of which bill by the tenth of an hour — should not have been redacted when they simply said the attorney was writing a letter, for example. The content of such a letter, they said, is the only information that should be protected by attorney-client privilege. With the two sides unable to reach an agreement, the matter continued today in court with freshly hired attorney Bill Bragg helping the county. The county was looking for a "fresh set of eyes," Bragg said following today's hearing. He said he'll talk with Jackson about a resolution this week, but he expects the two parties will present their arguments before a judge Friday. Jackson called it "ironic" that the county hired outside counsel in a case about the price of hiring outside counsel. Neither she nor Ulansey would comment further on the case. ● BUSINESS, GOVERNMENT / BY RYAN BURNS / APRIL 22, 4:11 P.M.
The Humboldt Brand Evolves Did you read yesterday's San Francisco Chronicle? It's got a write-up on the local
marketing campaign known as Humboldt Made. Here's the key bit: As part of its effort to let the world know that there's more to Humboldt than weed, the county's economic development division is working with local artisans, food makers, farmers and ranchers to position Humboldt products in the market as upscale, health conscious and earth friendly. The effort represents the county's first foray into marketing via Facebook and YouTube. (Another series of YouTube vids is now in production.) Since we wrote about it in 2009 and 2010 the campaign has enlisted new businesses (there are more than 60 involved now) and new techniques, including a smartphone app and local-item expenditure tallies on grocery store receipts. What the Chron story doesn't mention is that the county is currently looking to hand off management of the campaign to another organization. Last month, Humboldt County Economic Development Coordinator Jacqueline Debets announced that "it's time for Humboldt continued on next page

Bomb Scare Closes CR College of the Redwoods' main Eureka campus has been closed today due to a bomb scare. All students, staff and faculty are being told to stay away. The school's public information officer, Paul DeMark, posted the following message on CR's Facebook page this morning: College of the Redwoods' main Eureka campus will be closed for classes, day and evening, on Thursday, April 18 due to a threat to campus security. All residence hall students have been relocated to a safe location. College personnel are working with the Humboldt County Sheriff"s Department to ensure a safe campus.

a false alarm triggered by a bogus Facebook post. The Humboldt County Sheriff's Office announced this afternoon that a search of CR's main Eureka campus has been completed by a law enforcement super-team that included the FBI, Eureka Police, Humboldt County Drug Task Force, Humboldt State University police, College of Redwoods security, Humboldt Bay Fire District, Cal Fire and CR administrative staff. No bomb. The threat originated on Facebook. According to CR spokesman Paul DeMark, a bomb threat was posted on a student's Facebook page last night, and when a friend asked the guy about it he responded, "This is not my page." The student figured that someone had set up a bogus page in his name and then posted the threat, so he immediately called the sheriff's office, DeMark said. The college's information technology staff is trying to trace the origin of the message with help from the FBI, according to DeMark. The 135 or so students who live on campus were evacuated on buses supplied by Humboldt Transit Authority and taken to an undisclosed Eureka City Schools gymnasium. HSU is supplying the students with food, DeMark said. "We are anticipating having classes tomorrow," he added. l Frivolity / By Heidi Walters / April 17, 4:46 p.m.

Suddenlink reports, once again, a vandal cut off Internet, phone and cable service for 10,000 customers in Arcata, McKinleyville, Trinidad and Big Lagoon overnight. The company recently doubled a reward — to $10,000 — for information leading to an arrest and conviction of the serial cable-cutter, and hired the private investigation services of Eureka's Cook & Associates. Repairs are expected by this evening. The Sheriff's Office press release said in part: On 4-17-2013, approximately 4:15 a.m. the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office was notified of another vandalism to Suddenlink's Fiber Optic Cable that had occurred in the area of Lorenz Lane and Old Arcata Road, Bayside. The damaged cable was cut. The unknown suspect(s) used a culvert pipe to stand on to allow them access to the elevated cable. The suspect(s) are believed to have used a cutting instrument to cut the line. … To date there have been five vandalisms to Suddenlinks Fiber Optic Cables. Total estimated damage by Suddenlink to repair the lines is now estimated to be at least $75,000. l Cops, Eureka / By Grant Scott-Goforth / April 17, 2:46 p.m.
Eureka Police Sergeant Arrested for Assault Eureka Police Sgt. Adam Adam Laird Laird was arrested this morning by investigators from the District Attorney's office on suspicion of assault while on duty and falsifying a police report. Eureka Police Chief Murl Harpham gathered the media in a brief press conference this afternoon to announce Laird's arrest, which followed a joint investigation between his department and the DA's office. Harpham said the investigation was spurred by a report from a fellow police officer and called the partnership with the DA necessary for "complete transparency." "We will not tolerate misconduct by any of our officers," Harpham said. In 2011, Laird was found liable for damages for using unreasonable/excessive force in the death of Martin Cotton, who died in his jail cell following an altercation with EPD in 2007.

Neither DA Investigator Mike Hislop nor Harpham offered details of the event — or a date, though Harpham said it occurred more than a month ago — that led to Laird's arrest today. There are no other officers being investigated, according to the chief. The 30-year-old sergeant is on paid leave until the department finishes its internal investigation. Laird posted $50,000 bail and was out of custody by this afternoon. He is scheduled to be arraigned in May.
Pot Farmers' Market Lights Up in NorCal
How did Humboldt County get beat to the punch on this one? (Insert lazy stoner joke here, if you must.) According to a story from the quarterly magazine Modern Farmer, Northern California's first marijuana farmers' market is being run from a big purple warehouse outside the City of Sonoma. And the venue is helping to spark "a new demand for pot grown locally, sustainably, in small batches, outdoors, and rather cheaply," the story says. Such markets are legal in the state (with proper documentation) but still verboten by the feds, whose ostrich stance on the issue is looking sillier by the day. Reporter David Downs describes the Sonoma scene, which includes such familiar Humboldt tropes as old school reggae, "plaid-clad stoners" and "an elderly hippie couple" selling pot-laced hard candy. On the day that Downs visited the market, the star vendor was a man in his late 50s offering potent buds "as thick as a child's arm." And wouldn't you know it? "The grower won't give his name, but says he works outdoors in the Humboldt hills … ." l

Choosing Death
A Humboldt man's journey to attend his parents' double suicide By Josephine Johnson
12 North Coast Journal • Thursday, April 25, 2013 • northcoastjournal.com
n early September 2011, Dominic Dawson, a lean and soft-spoken delivery driver who lives in Manila, received an email from his ailing father in Wales. "I'm ready to go to Switzerland, October 2012," Reg Dawson wrote his son. "What do you think?" Dominic was sitting at his desk in a secondstory cupola peering over Humboldt Bay. From here, he could often see small flocks of dowitchers erupting from the shore, shimmering in the morning haze. He knew that "Switzerland" meant his father hoped to die at a Zurich apartment where an organization called Dignitas helps people commit suicide legally. Diffuse sunlight seeped through the old Victorian's window. Outside, shore birds pecked in the mud, shifting and turning in unison. Dominic cradled his coffee mug. He was surprised, but not shocked. His father, in his late 80s and struggling with Parkinson's disease. was losing the ability to walk unassisted, sit upright and feed himself. About a year before, Reg had begun talking about Dignitas with his wife and his daughter, Teresa Schwanauer. When Teresa filled Dominic in, she'd confided that she didn't think their father would go through with it. Now Reg was sounding more certain. And Dominic felt oddly comforted that his father had reached out to him, after a long estrangement that had lessened only gradually, as they both grew older. He read the email again, and before the morning faded, forwarded it to Tina George, his partner of 10 years, who lives in Arcata. That night they talked logistics: Reg wanted the whole family to gather beforehand in England, to celebrate his life — and not to mourn. Dominic had no qualms about the suicide itself. He had long believed people have a right to die when and how they choose. So mostly, he and Tina talked about arranging the trip and whether she should come along. The next morning, though, Dominic struggled for words to put into his email reply. What do you say to your own father when he announces his plans for passing? How do you sound supportive but not cold, or worse, eager? Dominic wrote, finally, that he didn't know quite what to say. To which Reg replied, "That is perfectly normal and understandable."
Dominic Dawson had sev-
ered ties with his parents in 1968, moving out of the family home in London when he was 16 years old. He and his parents just didn't think the same way. He was embracing the freedom-loving ethos of the 1960s — equal rights, anti-war, Eastern
mysticism — while his parents remained politically and socially conservative. He moved in with friends and took temporary jobs that were easy to find in London then: a clerk, a messenger, whatever kept him free from his parents' rules. After a couple of years he craved more adventure and traveled overland to India. He met and stayed with royalty in Bangladesh, and he lived for six months in Calcutta, working for an international relief organization. Then he bounced around some more — traveling in the Middle East, then over to the United States, settling in the early 1970s in Santa Cruz, where he got married and had his first daughter. In 1979 he arrived in Humboldt. To make it on the North Coast, he worked odd jobs and did lots of manual labor. He backpacked all over the Trinity Alps. He had a second daughter, in another relationship. Rooted in Humboldt, held by its natural beauty, Dominic has lived in the same Manila neighborhood since 1985. The family ties with his parents reknit, but slowly. He would see them now and then, when they made trips to America. In 1996, the whole family gathered in England for his parents' 50th wedding anniversary. Not long after, he and his father began corresponding again. When the email about Switzerland came, Dominic was 60, with a 2-year-old grandson of his own. Gray-haired, blue-eyed and fit, he was semi-retired, running a delivery service, taking rafting trips with Tina. Now there was this — and before it was over, both his parents would make fateful decisions.
In California,
as in many other states and many nations, helping or encouraging someone to commit suicide is a crime. The law stands even as public opinion has been shifting. In a 2006 Pew Research poll, 60 percent of those polled nationwide thought that people in great pain with no hope of improvement had a right to die. And 53 percent said people with an incurable disease had a right to choose death. The idea appalls some advocates for the elderly and for people with disabilities. They worry about pressure from relatives who are crumbling under the stress of care, or who want to preserve family assets. Some religious groups, including the Roman Catholic Church, orthodox Judaism and many evangelical Protestant denominations, consider suicide or helping with suicide a sin. Opponents warn that opening the door to legal assisted suicides could eventually lead to encouraging death for people deemed undesirable, people whose lives are

In the years since Dignitas' founding, the Swiss Supreme Court has expanded the law even more, ruling in 2006 that chronically depressed and mentally ill people have a right to assisted suicide. Today, Swiss law allows people with a range of non-terminal and progressive ailments to apply — and if approved — to choose to die. Not all Swiss are on board with this right-to-die, death-with-dignity mission. Opponents In 2011, the Evangelical People's Party of Switzerlooked at as somehow less warn that land and the Swiss Federal worthy or less worthwhile legal assisted Democratic Union lobthan the lives of others. bied heavily for a citywide But amid those warnings, suicides could referendum in Zurich over many religious, civil rights eventually lead the practice.

the British civil service. Once, Dominic recalls, Reg helped keep some commuter rail services alive by leaking information about government plans to stop them. Betty was a homemaker, focused on raising the children. She enjoyed cooking and baking and reading popular novels, her children remember. Once they were grown, she returned to school and became a business skills instructor, teaching typing and dictation. Over the years, both drifted from right Catholicism — Reg Dawson Reg becoming an with Paul, atheist and Betty Dominic an agnostic.

In the late below Betty 1980s, when Reg Dawson with retired after more Dominic, far left, than 30 years in Teresa and Paul. the civil service, Dawson family photos he and his wife were still in good health, and Betty was a regular swimmer. That began to change with the turn of the new century. In 2002, Reg was diagnosed with Parkinson's, a degenerative disease. Their children noticed Betty's memory significantly slipping in 2006, although she wasn't officially diagnosed with Alzheimer's until 2012. Her early memories persisted — childhood, early years of marriage, her children's youth — but she was losing track of the day-to-day: luncheons, medical appointments. Had she turned off the stove, or was the water running in the bathroom? Reg first broached the subject of suicide with Teresa, a retired computer analyst who lives in Walnut Creek, when she was visiting her parents at her brother Christopher's house in London in the fall of 2010. "If your mother passes before I do," he directed in his calm British English, "I want to go to Switzerland and commit suicide." At the time, Teresa didn't think that her father would travel all the way to a Swiss clinic to end his life. "I wasn't worried," she recalled later. "I Skyped with them every week and was certain that when my father passed, it would be at their retirement community in Wales." Teresa and her three brothers assumed that Reg would die before their mother.

As Reg's condition
worsened, he became less and less willing to wait for his wife to pass away first. Even in October 2010, when he was 88 and she 86, she could no longer lift and move him. An attendant at their retirement community in Wales had to bathe him. And Betty had left a burner on. Again. Reg began emailing with his oldest son, Paul, about choosing suicide if he was unable to live and move independently. And Parkinson's disease does that, steals a person's independence. It's a nasty degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that begins with slight physical tremors, rigidity and difficulty walking, and then progresses to uncontrollable cognitive and behavioral problems. In late stages, dementia is common. Reg resisted using a wheelchair and insisted on walking as much as possible. By December 2011, though, he was resigned
to a wheelchair most of the time, and by then all four of his children knew he wanted to die. "When he announced his plan, my only surprise was how late he had left it," Paul remembered. "He was clearly not enjoying life at all." And Dominic, who at first had thought he would only attend his father's going away celebration in England, now reassured Teresa that he would go farther. If she wanted his help and support accompanying their father to Switzerland, Dominic would come along for that, too. Together, then, all four children planned how to best support Reg's choice, while making sure their mother would have a good quality of life after he was gone. Betty, though, did not approve. Not for religious or philosophical reasons, but because for more than 60 years of marriage, they'd always been a team. Even as Reg's body withered, Betty had remained physically strong and able to help him. As she became more forgetful, Reg's mind remained razor sharp. "But my mother also knew the reality of Alzheimer's," Teresa recalled, "My mother was afraid that if Reg went to Switzerland to die, that she would be alone and eventually die not knowing who her children are. This terrified her." And at least with Reg by her side, Betty had someone.
Without him, she feared dying without memories or knowing who she was. It wasn't so much that Betty didn't want Reg to go to Switzerland but that she didn't want him to go without her. Even with all four children ready to help, Reg hated the thought of leaving Betty alone. But he hated his continuing decline even more.

"There's nothing to be sad about" he said. The way he looks at it, both his parents accomplished something worthwhile, and they both kept their dignity. "It was awe-inspiring. There was no fear or regret in those final days. I am thankful I was there." l

FIVe THINGS To knoW
continued on next page
Before You Despair of Goodness By Jennifer Savage
You're probably watching too much news, listening to too much Democracy Now! — or both. While being informed is usually a good thing (digesting this North Coast Journal, for example, is an excellent choice), immersing yourself in sadness you can't do anything about will just weigh you down with hopelessness. Take a break. If you can't step away completely, limit yourself to 15 minutes either in the morning or the evening. Distract yourself by reading a book instead. Booklegger, Eureka Books, Tin Can Mailman and Northtown Books all have staff waiting to help you find something fun. 2. Go outside. We live in one of the prettiest places in the world. Go to the beach, to the bay, to the parks, to the forests, to the river. Watch a sunset. Watch a sunrise. Pile on the layers and hike up Trinidad Head. Let that horrible north wind whip around you at the top. Feel it tear your troubles from your body. Cry if you need to — you can blame your tears on allergy season. Descend with a greater sense of peace. Admire the picturesque harbor. Feel alive and grateful for it. 3. Remember, all around you, people are doing noble things. We have Betty Chinn. We have Food for People. We have CASA. We have thousands of people quietly going about their lives being good and kind, sometimes banding together for a cause, sometimes just making the world a better place simply by not making it worse. (To borrow from George Eliot's Middlemarch: "The growing
good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life.") Look upon people more gently. 4. Related: Join the noble-thing-doing people by volunteering — opportunities abound. It's hard to argue there's no good in the world when you're surrounded by people doing it. 5. You have a family, right? And/or friends? Have a potluck/game night. If you have no one, please, find your people. You need people. At least one person. Research the calendar/workshops/marketplace of the NCJ. Many things are happening! Sign up, show up. Make a friend. Socialization combats depression, reminds us that the world offers companionship and love as well as all the heartbreak and suffering. Bonus: Tempting as it may be, do not attempt to escape the world by boozing it up when you're feeling down. I know, such advice seems counterintuitive, but cocktails should be for celebrating, not for numbing. Alternative coping methods: meditation, running, dancing, writing, painting, screaming into a pillow, sex. (Oh, yeah, sex! That's a good one! Do that. With appropriate protection!) l How do you stay positive despite the siege of sad news? Send suggestions to email@example.com.

Paying Tribute
Petty Theft, Play Dead, American Beauty and Bump does Brown, plus René Marie, Candye and comedy By Bob Doran
hile a press release describes Petty Theft as "San Francisco's Ultimate Tribute to Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers," I'm pretty sure it's more a North Bay Area band. Ultimate? Maybe. Keyboardist Mike Emerson, a former local who now lives in the North Bay, was slightly more modest, saying merely that the band is "really good." Plenty of people agree. Readers of a Marin County alt. weekly, the North Bay Bohemian, voted Petty Theft "Best Band" three years in a row (2011, '12 and '13). And that's not "Best Tribute Band," mind you, it's best overall. See if Full Moon Fever's "Refugee" matches up Saturday at Humboldt Brews. As noted, Mike Emerson was once a Humboldter; he still plays pretty regularly with the local Grateful Dead tribute, Play Dead, and as it turns out, he's coming north in time to play Dead tunes with that band on Friday, also at Humboldt Brews, starting promptly at 9:30 p.m. with a rendition of "St. Stephen." Saturday, while Petty Theft pays tribute to the Heartbreakers, the Arkley Center has a tour called, "American Beauty: The Grateful Dead Concert Experience." It's presented by West Coast Performing Arts, the same folks who offer Beatle tribute shows, Beach Boys tributes and more nostalgia. The pitch this
time: "Experience the sights and sounds of one of the most successful and celebrated bands in show-business history," which probably means psychedelic lights and tie-dye outfits. I searched for details on who's in the band, but, despite the fact that Deadheads love to talk about this sort of thing, all I found was repeated PR verbiage promising "the best and most knowledgeable players and singers from the Grateful Dead tribute world," and a bunch of song titles — the "great hits" as the promoter put it, not that the Dead ever had an actual "hit." Who knows, it might be good. Ready for another? Saturday night at the Jambalaya, an augmented version of the local funk band Bump Foundation pays tribute to the late, great "Godfather of Soul" James Brown with Madi Simmons handling Mr. Brown's parts; Leah Crenshaw on female lead. Guitarist Greg Camphuis heads the all-star congregation expanding the Bump horn section and adding guests including Berel Alexander, Pete Ciotti and Piet Dalmolen (from Full Moon Fever) and Chris Wixson from Speakeasy Saints (his band plays Friday at Cher-Ae Heights). The Redwood Jazz Alliance closes its season Thursday with a different sort of show. Instead of cutting-edge players from New York and San Francisco, the show features a jazz vocalist, René Marie, with a classic sort
of voice and an attitude reminiscent of Nina Simone, backed by a trio, Experiment in Truth, pianist Kevin Bales, bassist Elias Bailey and drummer/arranger Quentin Baxter. Marie is a songwriter who seems unafraid of the truth; she became a singer late in life and ended up escaping from an abusive relationship in the process (and writing songs about it). Take a look at her website and you'll find an offer for singing lessons she calls SLAM!, an acronym for "sing like a motherfucker!" The pitch says a lot about her approach. The goal "is to reconnect you with your voice and learn how to listen to what your voice is telling you, listen to where it wants to go and what it wants to do. … Let the fresh air in and shine some light on the negative messages you may have received about your voice in the past — and the ones you continue to give yourself today. … Use your fears and so-called flaws to sing like a motherfucker!" Believe me, the woman can sing. DJ Red and friends present an old school hip hop night Thursday at the Jambalaya. Says Red, "Joining me on the wheels of steel this month is Gabriel Groom and the one and only DJM. DJM is a recent transplant from Austin, and is the winner of Red Bull's Thre3 Styles DJ Battle, so I'm really excited to see what this guy can do." What's fresh? Well, it's at least partially digitized. As Red notes, "This will not be a vinyl snob night, as DJM's records are still in Texas." Friday's "Rump Shakers" at the Red Fox is, in fact, a "vinyl snob" type thing with the ubiquitous Pressure Anya team joined by Soul Night refugees King Maxwell and JMorg. If you love vinyl, or music delivered in any format, you might want to check out "Swap It!" a benefit for North Star Quest Camp for Girls coming up Sunday in HSU's Goodwin Forum. KHSU deejay Julie Unruly came up with the basic concept: "Get a bunch of music lovers gathered in one space to buy/sell/trade LPs, CDs, DVDs, posters and more." ("More" could be 45s.) Playing records to entertain you while you shop and/or swap: Pressure Anya, Zephyr, Rickshaw, JMorg and Adam. (Where's Matt?)
EDM show of the week: the World Famous bash Friday at the Arcata Theatre Lounge with Stephan Jacobs (just booked for this summer's Warped Tour) and Gladkill, both from the Headtron collective out of Los Angeles, plus two more L.A. producers, Sugarpill and ChrisB. Be ready for some heavy bass. Friday at the Jambalaya, Children of the Sun open for a band called Cribshitter, with the above-mentioned Pete and Piet playing with them. A little googling tells me that "Cribshitter is Madison, Wisconsin's premier fog-machine-oriented band," at least so says the band Tumblr. The perhaps rhetorical question is raised, "What do we sound like?" The answer: "Smack a snake in its head with a wooden spoon while it is eating garbage. That is what we sound like." Bandcamp tags describe the Madison mad men as an "alternative country western dubstep tech electronic twang poop" outfit. A listen to the songs posted shows that the dudes are conversant in many styles and do not really take themselves seriously. An educated guess says they're fans of Cake (the band, not the foodstuff). Loreen Ellison from the Riverwood Inn sends a reminder that blues survivor Candye Kane is in Phillipsville Saturday night. "Her cover will be $20; she has cancer and it all goes to her," says Loreen. "Musicians don't get health insurance." Ms. Kane has in fact fought her cancer into remission only to have it crawl back. I think Loreen can relate — she's in the Bay Area in the midst of her own fight with the Big C. "I'd be there to see her but I'm here fixing my cancer!" she writes. "Doing well, tolerating well and am excited about getting treatment — I want this crap out of me! I've named my cancer Bill. Every time I'm getting treatment, I say, 'KILL BILL!'" I'm betting on Loreen to win her fight; like Candye, she's tough. Have you noticed the pattern yet? The last week in any given month means a spike in stand-up. This time it starts with Ba-DumChh Comedy making you snork your drinks Thursday at The Ritz. ("Snork" is when you laugh uncontrollably and what you're sipping comes out your nose. When you were a kid it was milk; now it's cheap beer or pricy liquor.) Jump ahead to Tuesday for Savage Henry's "CU Last Tuesday" at the Jambalaya. As is now the norm, the Savages have invited some out-of-towners to drop some jokes or whatever; this time it's Portland comics Danny Felts, Jeff Oliver and Marcia Belsky along with Greag Brown from Oakland, plus locals Dutch Savage and Ivy Vasquez. And once again, the visitors are doing double duty on Wednesday with an early all-ages gig at the Works, then another at the Angelina Inn, but with Sherae O'Shaughnessy and Kim Hodges replacing Greag and Ivy. One more thing: the scintillating pan band Steel Standing provides the soundtrack for Saturday's Farmers' Market on the Arcata Plaza. Give 'em a listen. And buy some vegetables. ●

Clowns All Around Dell'Arte and the Humboldt Circus are finally getting around to answering the age-old question: "How many clowns can you fit into one weekend?!" So, put your coulrophobia by the wayside, and be prepared to be dazzled by not one, but two red-nosed, slapstick-filled tributes to the art of clowning. Dell'Arte's Who Ya Callin' Bozo? is a nostalgic homage to the era of classic circus clowning, minus the animal cruelty and sideline freak shows. The first-year students at Dell'Arte International School of Physical Theatre have some pretty big shoes to fill, but with direction from school director Ronlin Foreman they're bound to make it through the evening without pie on their faces. Or pies — that's a
lot of faces. This Ringling Brothersvaudeville hybrid is a show for all ages, and runs from Thursday, April 25, through Saturday, April 27, at 8 p.m. in Dell'Arte's Carlo Theatre in Blue Lake. This is a "pay what you can" event, but be sure to make reservations in advance by calling (707) 668-5663 x5. Humboldt Circus' Carnival of the Mind revels in the good old days of the big top circus as well, but with more juggling. And the family friendly antics of Carnival of the Mind are not limited to the stage; there will be games,
sideshows, popcorn and discounted entry for costumed attendees. So pin on your squirting flower, cram all your friends into one tiny car and head on down to the Van Duzer Theater on Friday, April 26, or Saturday, April 27. Admission is $6, doors open at 6 p.m., and the show starts at 6:46 p.m. (for some reason). This weekend is the perfect opportunity to catch up on all those missed clowning opportunities, such as: seltzering, tumbling, miming and working through your crippling fear of clowns (it's not just me, right?!). — Dev Richards

COMEDY The Arcata Playhouse and KHSU Radio join forces for The Word: A Community Storytelling Project, a collection of true stories "lived and told" by community members on the theme "Being in Community." Among the yarn spinners is Maggie Gainer, who you might describe as a community activist. "You know how much I love to tell stories, feature and present other peoples' stories," she writes in an invitation to The Word. She offers a little teaser: "My story is about our region's economy, the ugly 1970s, and how two well-known pillars of the community changed my life forever." Gainer participated in storytelling workshops at the Arcata Playhouse led by Ali Freedlund with coaching from raconteurs Jeff DeMark and Paul Woodland. Other performers include Jan Bramlett, Carole Wolfe, Sharon "Sista Soul" Fennell, Kiernan Powers, Gabriel Vanaver, Mary Ann Madej, Gayle Pascal, Meghan Frank, the Playhouse's Jackie Dandeneau and workshop leaders Freedlund and DeMark. The Tim Randles, Mike LaBolle, Bobby Amirkhan Trio provides jazz interludes.

book The Man Who Planted Trees By Jim Robbins Spiegel & Grau Jim Robbins is a New York Times science writer. Ten years ago he began seeing the dense pine forest surrounding his Montana home die off, killed by the mountain pine beetle infestation. That attack, enabled by warmer winters, is still destroying northern forests. It's evidence of how global warming is adding to centuries of deforestation. By then he'd met David Milarch, a hard-living Michigan farmer whose life was changed by a near-death experience and what seemed like a subsequent visit by angels who gave him his mission: Clone the oldest, largest, hardiest "champion" trees before it's too late. Scientists, not necessarily convinced by angelic instructions, were surprised they hadn't thought of this themselves. If it turned out to be possible (and often it did), it made sense. This time-tested DNA might provide a better chance for survival. Robbins chronicles the ups and downs of Milarch's efforts. One of his major successes was finding and cloning ancient sequoias in an unusually dry region of central California, under conditions that global warming may well replicate elsewhere. But Robbins also writes about trees themselves, their barely understood wonders and the ways in which they nurture the planet. He writes with clear objectivity but in a more complete way that mirrors the combination of standard and frontier science and the so-called mysticism in Milarch's world. Even scientists admit we know dangerously little about the trees and forests we've been relentlessly destroying. But Milarch's quest is not some feel-good exercise. He and others involved realize that planting the right trees in the right places is crucial. Along the way Robbins updates the exploits of Michael Taylor, the HSU grad who, while working at Radio Shack in Arcata, discovered several of the largest redwoods in the world in the Jedediah Smith Redwood State Park, together with HSU forestry and wildlands professor Steve Sillett. Taylor (who moved to Hyampom, an isolated town of 261 people in Trinity County) expanded his search for champion trees to other species and countries, searching for them partly by intuition. His incredible record improved even more when he teamed up with Milarch. "When I travel with David Milarch, we really find trees. It's beyond coincidence," he said. But Taylor helped Milarch most by finding champion stumps on private land, where only the owner's permission is required to obtain the cuttings to clone, eliminating a lot of government red tape. They started with the immense Fieldbrook Stump just outside Redwood State Park. From the stump and the redwood already growing out of it they hoped to grow hundreds and then thousands of copies. "We can use this tree as a symbol of the reforestation of the world," Milarch said. "This stump is back from the dead, same as I am." — William Kowinski

Tom Cruises
Clever premise falls flat in Oblivion, but Gosling's latest has sweeping ambition By John J. Bennett email@example.com
OBLIVION. The Tom Cruise conundrum: wherein the biggest movie star in the world gives winning performances in humdrum Hollywood hogwash. Over the past nine years (with the debatable exception of 2011's Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol) Cruise has gone out for big, relatively undemanding parts in distinctly middle-of-the-road movies. He's done solid work. The guy's got the goods; that much is undeniable. But gone are the days of the excellent and complex work of his mid-career hot streak, which included Stanley Kubrick's contentious but compelling Eyes Wide Shut, Michael Mann's Collateral and a revelatory performance in Paul Thomas Anderson's Magnolia. Why the shift? That's not for me to guess. But the upshot is that this talented, hard-working leading man has painted himself into a corner. Going to see one of his movies these days means anticipating a buzzkill. So it went with Oblivion: I figured I'd enjoy Cruise in yet another mediocre Tom Cruise movie. This one, by director Joseph Kosinski (Tron: Legacy), working from an adaptation of his own graphic novel, raises Cruise's plummeting average slightly, and it may be the most frustrating example of his recent work for that very reason. This post-apocalyptic, Earth-as-poisonwasteland sci-fantasy has some positive attributes. Lavishly styled and dressed, the movie is lit and shot with originality and intention, and it glides along with grace and confidence. Cruise plays Jack Harper, a technician tasked with maintaining armed drones that defend giant generators fueled by seawater. He and communications officer/ lover Victoria (Andrea Riseborough) are, to the best of their knowledge, the last
humans on Earth, a clean-up crew that will soon turn off the lights, lock the door and join the rest of humanity on the Jupiter moon Titan. But something keeps sabotaging the drones, and Jack's impulse to investigate (along with nostalgia for an Earth he doesn't really remember) leads him toward a troubling discovery. It's a promising premise, and the movie finds a rhythm early on. Sumptuous visuals, carried on a throbbing, atmospheric score, work toward elevating Oblivion beyond my expectations. But the opening and closing are painfully bridled by unnecessary voiceover, and the big second act plot twist can be spotted a mile away. From there the story gets derivative and simplistic. When the plot's nuts and bolts are required to support some weight, everything starts coming apart. I left the theater feeling conflicted over an ultimately silly movie. There's a glimmer of something much better, maybe even great, in Oblivion, but its strengths cannot overcome its weaknesses. PG13. 126m. THE PLACE BEYOND THE PINES. Last week, Ryan Burns teased this movie, referring to writer/director Derek Cianfrance's last one, Blue Valentine, as an emotional wrecking ball. I think Blue Valentine is more like an emotional smart-bomb, or maybe the vivisection of a marriage. With surgical precision, Cianfrance and his actors (Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams, both completely natural, broken and riveting) lay open a relationship, exposing raw nerves and vessels that can carry both nourishing life-blood and virulent infection. They capture the tiny expressions that speak to oceanic emotions, the devastating physical shorthand of people in love hurting each other — in other words, the

truth of an intimate relationship unraveling. That story came from honesty, and it's joyful and heartbreaking at the same time. As my wife said, "I love it and I hate it." With The Place Beyond the Pines, Cianfrance (again collaborating with Gosling) turns his acute focus on a bigger subject, with exciting if occasionally mixed results. Gosling's Luke Glanton is a motorcycle daredevil traveling with a carnival. He blows into town one summer and encounters Romina (Eva Mendes), with whom he shared a few nights the year before. When he learns that their time together produced a son, Luke decides to quit his job and stick around awhile. After trying and failing to rekindle something with Romina and get to know his baby, he soon takes drastic, criminal measures to provide for them. That situation comes to a head quickly, culminating in a confrontation with over-educated rookie cop Avery Cross (Bradley Cooper). From there the plot turns to follow Avery as he attempts to find justice inside a deeply corrupt police department. Place has a bold, novelistic structure, and it almost always works. Only as the third act unfolds does its ambition outstrip the execution a little, and the framework sways noticeably. But that's a minor weakness in the face of all the great filmmaking going on. The cinematography, resplendent with saturated color, combines dizzying handheld camerawork and more traditional shots to mesmerizing effect. The clean, seamless editing and a haunting soundtrack (by local boy done good Mike Patton) interplay achingly well with the cast's exceptional performances. And the themes — of fathers and sons, absence, personal responsibility and consequences echoing
across generations — resonate profoundly. R. 140m. — John J. Bennett
THE BIG WEDDING. I try not to judge movies by their trailers, but damn: This. Looks. Awful. Maybe I'm wrong. Divorced parents (Robert De Niro and Diane Keaton) pretend they're still married for the benefit of their future son-in-law's Catholic mom. The all-star cast includes Susan Sarandon, Robin Williams, Katherine Heigl and Amanda Seyfried. R. 90m. PAIN & GAIN. Big-budget schlock-maestro Michael Bay (Bad Boys, Transformers) directs this action comedy starring Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson and Anthony Mackie as weightlifting criminals. Like bathing in testosterone. R. 129m. On Sunday, the Arcata Theatre Lounge will show Dreamworks' 2005 animated comedy Madagascar. PG. 86m. 6 p.m. Turn May Day into "mayday!" with 20 Million Miles to Earth, a 1957 sci-fi flick about a giant creature from Venus running amok in Rome. It's the creature feature for next week's Sci-Fi Pint and Pizza Night at the ATL. Doors at 6 p.m. The Humboldt County Library's Basedon-the-Book series "Shadows and Fog: San Francisco Noir" wraps up next Tuesday with Thieves' Highway (aka Thieves' Market), a 1949 melodrama from director Jules Dassin.
42. This Hollywood biopic about baseball color-barrier-breaker Jackie Robinson is so glossy it all but glosses over the issue of racism. PG13. 128m. THE CROODS. A prehistoric family must look for a new cave in this likeable animated comedy featuring the voices of
Nic Cage and Emma Stone. PG. 96m. EVIL DEAD. This gory remake of the 1980s camp-horror classic about a group of young'uns, a cabin in the woods and a supernatural skin-bound book has less camp, more viscera. R. 91m. G.I. JOE: RETALIATION. Bruce Willis, "The Rock" and Channing Tatum play guys with big muscles and guns. They shoot stuff. PG13. 99m. JURASSIC PARK 3D. That 3D T-Rex made me spill my Diet Coke! PG13. 127m. OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN. White House action-thriller with a Secret Service agent (Gerard Butler) protecting the president (Aaron Eckhart) from evil Koreans. Yawn. R. 100m. OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL. James Franco stars as the young wizard-to-be in this visually rich but ultimately hollow prequel. PG. 130m. SCARY MOVIE 5. What's scary is how many people pay money — genuine U.S. currency! — to watch this stuff. PG13. 85m. — Ryan Burns

The Most Expensive Lighthouse (Part 2) By Barry Evans
ast week, we saw how a disastrous wreck in 1865 on St. George Reef, eight miles northwest of Crescent City, prompted the Lighthouse Board to contract with Scottish engineer Charles Alexander Ballantyne to build a lighthouse on Northwest Seal Rock. Work started in 1883, and by the end of the following year, the base structure was virtually complete. I imagine at that point, Ballantyne and his crews were anticipating rapid completion. Fate, however, intervened, in the form of the 1884 "Grant's Panic" stock market crash. Funding dried up. Congress appropriated a measly $40,000 in 1885 and zip in 1886. The following year presumably saw an improvement in the economy, since Congress released $120,000 to continue building the lighthouse. From then on, work proceeded rapidly. The 50-foot-high pier was completed in 1889, and the tower was finished by the end of the 1891 construction season. The following year saw the arrival from France of nearly 700 polished prisms and lenses to be assembled into a Fresnel lens (see Field Notes, Aug. 26, 2010). On October 20, 1892, the lamp, 144 feet above waterline, was lit for the first time. Among the superlatives associated with the St. George Reef light is "most expensive." Depending on which relative measure is used, its $752,000 price back then is equivalent to between $20 million and $100 million today. It was five times more expensive than Ballantyne's Tillamook Rock lighthouse, and more than the combined cost of base-construction and erection of the contemporaneous Statue of Liberty. Quarrying, dressing and transporting the Humboldt granite blocks accounted for about half the cost. Conditions for the six-man lighthouse crew were incredibly tough, and it was one of only three lights in the United States
to warrant the maximum "hardship pay." Few keepers signed on for a second tour of duty. Winter storms must have been especially grueling when high seas prevented supply ships from venturing out of Crescent City harbor. During one of these storms, in 1952, crashing waves hurled rocks through the lantern room glass. Keeper Floyd Shelton is quoted in Dennis Powers' 2007 book Sentinel of the Sea: "There was a waterfall running down the central spiral staircase from the ocean coming in the lens room 145 feet or so above sea level." In 1975, a large navigational buoy — basically a floating lighthouse — replaced the St. George Reef light. The Del Norte County Historical Society later removed the Fresnel lens for reassembly in its museum in Crescent City. In 1996, the St. George Reef Lighthouse Preservation Society gained jurisdiction over the site and began the ardous task of restoration, including rebuilding the lantern room. For 16 years, the society ran helicopter tours for visitors, until the Aeronautics Division of Caltrans shut the flights down last year out of concern that the site's helipad was sub-par for commercial activities. Plans are currently underway to construct a larger pad. You can contact the society (sgrlps@stgeorgereeflighthouse. us) for an update. Meanwhile, the light is shining once again as a private "aid to navigation" and can be seen from Brookings to Crescent City. If you do tour the lighthouse once flights are restored, you can take pride in noting that a rocky chunk of Humboldt County, in the form of granite quarried from near the Mad River, has valiantly defied the elements for over 120 years off our wild northern California coast. l Barry Evans (firstname.lastname@example.com) awaits his editor's call to go and personally check out the lighthouse.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this
property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

KARJOLA ATTORNEY AT LAW 732 FIFTH STREET, SUITE E EUREKA, CA 95501 (707) 445-0804 April 3, 2013 SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF HUMBOLDT 4/11, 4/18, 4/25/2013 (13-111)
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: ROSANNA CARR A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by TAJ FRYE in the Superior Court of California, County of Humboldt. THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that TAJ FRYE appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause
why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held on May 2, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. at the Superior Court of California, County of Humboldt, 825 Fifth Street, Eureka, in Dept. 8. IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within four months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in Probate Code section 9100. The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.
