Mime Troupe Returns July 17 with New Format
For 54 years the San Francisco Mime Troupe
has been creating and performing political
musical theater to the delight of audiences nationwide and they haven’t
missed a performance in
Point Arena in nearly 30
years. On Wednesday, July
17 they will return with this
year’s offering, OIL & WATER, which is actually 2
one-act musicals, CRUDE
INTENTIONS and DEAL
WITH THE DEVIL, each
stylistically unique but topically linked and musically
interwoven. The plays challenge the dangerous energy
practices of both corporations and the rest of us. Both
were written by Pat Moran
and Adolfo Mejia. Music &
lyrics for both shows are by
Pat Moran and are directed
by SFMT alumnus Joan
Mankin, with Lisa Hori-Garcia as assistant director. Both one act original musicals feature
two Mime Troupe favorites, Velina Brown and
Lisa Hori-Garcia. They are joined by returning
Rotimi Agbabiaka and first-time trouper Hugo
E Carbajal. CRUDE INTENTIONS is inspired
by the ongoing legal battle
between Chevron and the
people of Ecuador. DEAL
WITH THE DEVIL is
a fast paced comic whodone-it that asks the questions: “How bad do things
have to get?” and “How
far would you go to stop
them?
2013 has been a nail
biter for the Mime Troupe
as its summer season was
almost cancelled for the
first time in half a century!
The recession has taken
its toll on the public and
foundation funding the
company relies on, as well
as revenue from passing the hat after each free
show. Meanwhile, performing for free keeps

Serving the Mendocino Coast Since 1986
From the Editor’s Desk
Summer is fully on us now, though some may be confused after the late rain in June. Of
course, Point Arena has their annual fireworks display at the Arena Cove, although it appears that Gualala is not having the fireworks war that they have been having the passed few
years. All are welcome, please see details on page 15.
There will be plenty of action here on the coast as many of our important non-profits are
hosting major fundraisers. On July 7, for example, the Redwood Coast Recreation Center,
will have its 12th annual BBQ at their site adjacent to Bower Park. It is a wonderful family
event. The RCRC board and volunteers deserve a great deal of respect and support for taking on this multi-decade project to bring an aquatic center to the South Coast. That kind of
perserverance and dedication is one of the things that make living here so great. See page 3.
The big white tent will soon appear on the Mendocino headlines as July also brings us
the Mendocino Music Festival. With dozens of major acts this is the biggest music event of
the year on the coast. The variety of musical talent provides something for every musical
taste. See page13.
The Third Thursday poetry evening in Point Arena has a very special guest this month.
Mendocino resident ruth weiss (she doesn't capitalize her name) is one of the last remaining members of the North Beach beat poets. Having outlived Ginsburg, Kerouac, Neil Cassady, and most of the others (Ferlinghetti is 92 living in Yonkers, NY), she has been a major
influence in bringing poetry and jazz together. It was tough for a woman poet to receive
any notoriety in her day, yet she still stands as one of the giants of the movement. See page
11.
Though it wasn't originally intended to be, the Gualala Arts Auto Show has become a
major staple of the summer line-up. Americans (particularly Californians) love their cars
and never seem to tire of seeing some well maintained old iron. A classic car dealer once
told us that people often own the car they wished they had in high school, but couldn’t afford. Go see if you can find your dream car from high school. It’s likely you will. The July
20 show also includes the popular Pinewood Derby that brings out the creative juices of
model car makers., both young and old. See page 4.
Gualala’s Art Center Theater group is presenting a play on July 27 titled The Cemetery
Club. It portrays with humor and pathos the struggles one faces when a life partner passes.
An outstanding cast provides a very professional treatment of the script. See page 7.
The Arena Film Club has 3 very different films this month at least one of which should
catch the attention of every movie lover. You can choose between a fantasy, a musical, and
a drama- or better yet, go see all three. See page 12.
Arena Theater Hosts Live Music After Fireworks
Once again this year Fuzz Patrol will present a musical line-up at the Arena Theater
after the fireworks display in Point Arena on July 6. Billed as The Third Annual Red
White & Bass After Fireworks Party, they will feature performances by Bridge Theory
(Energy Alchemist and Kiran Notez), /Ruby Sparks, and Vexia, along with Ancientyouth
soundsystem (VOID).
The show begins immediately after the fireworks with a $14 admission charge at the door.

Local Groups Offer Summer Camps for Kids
Once the joy of “school’s out” has passed,
youngsters often find themselves looking
for something to do. Three summer camps
and art programs are offered locally this
year to entertain and edify area youths.
The Arena Theater is once again offering
a Theater Camp taught by Dell’Arte MFA
Graduate Janessa Johnsrude. Children ages
9 – 14 will be able to build their theatrical
skills during a 2-week session running
from July 22 until August 2 with classes
on Monday through Thursday from 10:00
a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Janessa loves to share her
passion for theater with youth, believing
that ensemble creation is a journey of selfawareness and teamwork that create joy
and engaging theater. Campers will learn
to work as a supportive ensemble through
a dynamic, fun and physical approach to
stagecraft.
They will
also learn
to construct

improv,

voice exercises. At the end of the session
campers will thrill their friends and family
with a presentation on Friday, August 2,
showcasing their talent and teamwork.
The cost for the camp is $250. AS
the Peddler went to print there was one
spot available. Call the Theater office for

Zen House is 5 yrs Old
The Zen House motorcycle shop
in Point Arena is celebrating 5 years in
business on Saturday, July 13 from 1:00 –
3:00 p.m. Owners Dave and Kelley Harris
will be showing their appreciation for the
support they have received from the local
motorcycling community with this party
when they introduce professional stand-up
comedian and touring motorcyclist, Daryl
Makk. Daryl has ridden his motorcycle
from Alberta, Canada as part of his “The
Planet Tour”. Daryl is a two-time survivor
of accidents caused by drivers who “did not
see the motorcycle.” Tired of this excuse he’s
out to solve the invisibility of motorcyclists
– one joke at a time.
The evening of the 13th, Daryl will be
performing at the Eagles Hall in Fort Bragg
as guest of the Gloriana Opera Company.
He will share the bill with comic, James
Uloth, and guitarist Michael Parlengas.
Dave and Kelley will provide
complimentary coffee and tasty treats at the
Zen House event and weather permitting,
perhaps a little motorcycle run to exercise
the bikes.

of the girl who just wants to have fun,
and Doris is priggish and judgmental,
particularly when Sam the butcher, played
by Richard Knarr, enters the scene. Ann
Green, as Sam’s date, provides this dramatic
comedy with plenty of laughs as she rounds
out the cast.
The play premiered at the Kennedy Center
in Washington D.C. in March of 1990
and was moved to the Brooks Atkinson
Theatre on Broadway in May of that year.
Menchell wrote a screenplay for a 1993
film adaptation, which starred Olympia
Dukakis, Diana Ladd, and Ellen Burstyn.
The Boston Globe calls the play, “Funny,
sweet tempered, and moving” while The
Washington Journal says it is “very touching
and humorous. An evening of pure pleasure
that will make you glad you went to the
theatre.”
The Art Center Theater performance is
directed by Kathye Hitt and will open on
Friday, July 26 at 7:00 p.m. and will play on
the following night at 7:00 and Sunday with
a 2:00 p.m. matinee. The same schedule will
continue on the following weekend, August
2 – 4.
Tickets are $15 adults and $10 youth (17
and under); $5 additional if purchased the
day of the performance. For advance ticket
purchase, go to www.brownpapertickets.com
or call them at 800-838-3006. To purchase
tickets in person, visit the Gualala Arts
Center or Dolphin Gallery in Gualala.

story concerns Jewish widows who meet
once a month for tea before going to visit
their ex-husbands’ graves, which are all in
the same cemetery. Starring Lynne Atkins,
Jane Simmonds, and Sabina Walla the 3
women are all facing the same fate, though
their differing personalities have them

Pg 8 Lighthouse Peddler, July, 2013
Russ and Pat Caswell have a small motel
in Massachusetts that Russ’ father built in
1955. They have owned it for some 20 years
and have cooperated with local police to
prevent drug dealing in their motel. They
photocopied customers’ driver’s licenses,
recorded license plates, installed security
cameras and reported any suspicious
activity to the police. Still, in the last 14
years there have been a mere 14 arrests from
the nearly 200,000 room rentals.
Imagine their surprise when, shortly
after paying off the mortgage, local police,
along with federal agents, filed to seize the
property as having “facilitated” a crime.
The Caswells themselves have never been
accused of a crime. The property is was
being seized as part of something called
“civil forfeiture”. In civil forfeiture the
government actually sues a thing as though
it had committed a crime. Civil forfeiture
law treats citizens worse than criminals,
requiring them to prove their innocence.
Many jurisdictions provide an “innocentowner” defense that allows owners to get
their property back if they had no idea it was
involved in a crime. However, in most places,
owners bear the burden of establishing
their innocence. In other words, with civil
forfeiture, property owners are effectively
guilty until proven innocent.
However, federal civil forfeiture laws
provide a loophole to law enforcement in
states with good laws for property owners:
“equitable sharing.” With equitable sharing,
state law enforcement can turn over seized
assets to the federal government, or they
may seize them jointly with federal officers.
The property is then subject to federal
civil forfeiture law—not state law. Federal
law provides as much as 80 percent of the
proceeds to state law enforcement and stacks
the deck against property owners. Thus,
the equitable sharing loophole provides a
way for state and local law enforcement to
profit from forfeitures that they may not be
able to under state law. This practice has
become known as “policing for profit” as
law enforcement agencies may keep seized
assets.
It was not until the war on drugs in the
1970s, however, that civil-asset forfeiture
became a widespread practice in America.
Today, virtually every state enforces some
version of the law. Only eight states bar
the retention of forfeiture monies by law
enforcement.
This direct financial incentive was put
into federal law in 1985. Before then,
federal forfeiture proceeds went to the
general revenue fund of the United States,
and Congress then decided how such
revenue would be appropriated. Before
1985, forfeiture revenue was modest. After
the profit incentive was put into the law,
forfeiture revenue exploded — and it has
been growing ever since.
Why did the cops suddenly decide to
seize the Caswell’s motel? Caswell answers,
“I paid the mortgage off.” By this, he
meant that he acquired a real asset that the
government coveted and could seize. A
federal drug agent operating in this region
roots around in public records in search of
targets — property with at least $50,000
equity.
Law enforcement in California keeps 65
percent of all revenues generated through
civil forfeiture and aggressively participates
in equitable sharing with the federal
government, collecting an astonishing
$305 million in an eight-year period from
2000 to 2008. More than $450 million was
paid by the federal government to local law
enforcement agencies nationwide under the
equitable sharing program in 2012 alone. In
2000, California legislators voted to forbid
state and local agencies from using the
federal equitable sharing loophole except in
limited circumstances, but then-Governor
Gray Davis vetoed the measure.
Civil forfeiture is now being employed as
the key strategy in the federal government’s
battle against states that have legalized
medical marijuana, threatening the property
of small landlords who have been convicted
of no crime.
Tony Jalali fled Iran in 1978 for a better
life in the land of liberty and eventually
owned an office building in Orange County.
One tenant was a marijuana dispensary.
He received a federal complaint and
immediately evicted the dispensary, yet the
feds filed to take his office building.
Anaheim is colluding with the federal
government to do an end-run around
state law on two fronts. Not only did
California voters legalize the sale of medical
marijuana, but state law also bars local or
state officials from taking private property
by civil forfeiture unless the property owner
has been convicted of a crime. Simply put,
by using equitable sharing, Anaheim and

There is nothing like returning to a place
that remains unchanged to find the ways in
which you yourself have altered.
- Nelson Mandela
As many books do, The Ocean at the End
of the Lane begins with a quote. The quotes
often portend what’s to come.
“I remember my own childhood vividly…I
knew terrible things. But I knew I mustn’t
let adults know I knew. It would scare them”.
— Maurice Sendak, in conversation with
Art Spiegelman, THE NEW YORKER,
September 27, 1993.
Two caveats:
If you were a fear-filled,
even terrified child,
as this reviewer was,
this book will help you
remember what you
were scared of. That’s
not a bad thing. You
might find, in fact,
that it’s somewhat
liberatingCertainly
thought provoking.
If you’re uncomfortable
with fantasy, you may
be tempted to skip this
book. I encourage you
to consider stretching
beyond your comfort
zone. The Ocean at the
End of the Lane is a fairy tale for adults,
a fable, a myth. Myths offer a chance to
see the world through a different lens.
The book starts slowly, a bit bumpy perhaps,
like the lane to the Hemstock’s farm. Our
protagonist is middle-aged, in his mid-40’s.
He’s returned to his hometown of Sussex,
England, for a funeral. After the service,
with a little time to kill before the reception,
he takes a random drive through the town of
his childhood and finds himself at the end
of that lane, not far from the home in which
he grew up. This is the place where, when he
was but 7-years old, his parents’ white Mini
was found after being stolen. This is the
place where he met Lettie Hempstock. This
is the place where it
all began.
He parks his car
and walks to the
pond
behind
the
Hempstock
farmhouse.
What
did Lettie call it? A
sea? Or perhaps an
ocean? But it’s just
a pond. He sits at
the water’s edge and
his lost memories of
childhood emerge;
slowly at first, then
with
increasing
detail. Tension at
home fueled by
financial difficulties.
Boarders
brought
into his house, forcing him to move from
his bedroom to share a room with his sister.
The birthday party nobody comes to. The
suicide. And 11-year old Lettie Hempstock
who promises to protect him, no matter
what. She’s sure of herself, and he feels
comforted.

DR. DANIEL BRANNIGAN, D.C.
On Thursday, July 17 at 7:30 p.m. The
Third Thursday Poetry Reading Series at
215 Main in Point Arena will feature Beat
Poet ruth weiss. The reading will begin with
live improv jazz and an open mic with jazz
improv; the reading will conclude with
more live jazz.
ruth weiss is one of the last living
significant poets of the Beat Generation.
Born to a Jewish family during the rise of
Nazism, she was on the last train allowed
to leave Vienna in 1939. By way of New
York and Chicago she eventually made her
way to San Francisco, where she became
friends with, and a contemporary of, the
likes of Jack Kerouac, Neal Cassady, Allen
Ginsburg, Ferlingetti, and many other artists
of the 1950s American counter-culture
movement of San Francisco (specifically in
North Beach).
So the story goes, in 1949 the 21-yearold weiss was writing poetry in her Chicago
apartment when a friend invited her to a
jazz jam upstairs and grabbed her poem.
He asked the musicians to stop and listen
to the poem being read, but instead of just
listening the musicians started to play in
what was one of the first instances of poetry
and jazz coming together. This cemented a
style for her and she still generally performs
with music, as she will on July 17.
In the 1960s she began spelling her
name in lowercase letters in a symbolic
protest against “law and order” since in
her birthplace of Germany all nouns are
capitalized.

Group Khindia dancers
On Thursday, July 18 Gualala Arts
LocalEyes Series will present An Evening of
West Africa Dance and Drum by Group
Khindia, a Mendocino Coast group
inspired by the rhythms and traditions
of West Africa. The evening will start
with a 5:30 p.m. potluck picnic under the
redwoods in the Gualala Arts Center picnic
area, followed by an hour-long performance
by Group Khindia and special guests. This
local West African dance and drum group
will perform on the outdoor amphitheater
stage. The show will consist of live
drumming alongside high-energy dance
performances. Soft drinks will be available
for sale, and attendees can also bring their
own refreshments.
The director, Maria Kostick, studied
traditional West African dance in West
Africa in 1999. Since then she has studied
West African dance intensely.
When Aly Diabate, originally from
Guinea, West Africa, moved to the area,
Maria & Aly jointly started Group Khindia
on the coast. Maria teaches dance classes on
the Mendocino coast and has been excited
by the warm response she has received
from the community. The dancers in Group
Khindia come from these local dance
classes.
The performers are joyously committed
to the study of traditional rhythms,
primarily from Guinea, Mali & Senegal in
West Africa. This group regularly brings
West African artists to the Mendocino
area to teach dance and drum classes and
to conduct various workshops with the
performance group. They perform all over
Northern California, including events such
as the Sierra Nevada World Music Festival,
Beneficial Reggae, CasparFest, Great Day in
Elk and Mendocino in Motion.
Tickets are $10, $5 more on the day of
the performance. Youth 7 - 17 are admitted
free. For advance purchase, go to www.
brownpapertickets.com or call them at 800838-3006. Locally, visit the Gualala Arts
Center or Dolphin Gallery in Gualala.
Co-op Announces New
Propane Buying Group
Arena Market Co-op has announced a
new service from the Co-op. Members with
currently paid dues are eligible to join the
Propane Buying Group and buy propane at
the negotiated price. This service is available
anywhere from Santa Rosa to Cleone.
The Co-op has partnered with Suburban
Propane to provide gas to members at a
rate substantially lower than virtually any
contract price an individual is able to get.
As a commodity, propane prices vary all
the time. The price is listed at the website
of the California Dept. of General Services
(search “weekly fuel postings” on their site)
and is called the propane price index. That
is what distributors pay at the refinery.
Suburban has agreed to a set price over the
index price plus the cost of transportation
to the coast. As of June 13, the wholesale
price is 76¢/gallon—a 10-year low.
Initially co-op members will be charged
$1.00 over Suburban’s cost, but if the co-op
reaches 100 members using 250/year, the
price will fall to 50 cents over cost.
Those who meet Suburban’s credit
requirements and also choose to have
automatic fill-ups, will receive an extra 10¢/
gallon off the special Co-op prices.
Members can find extensive written details
and an application at the front counter of the
store. There are 2 different applications, one
for tank renters, and the other for customer
owned tanks. Applicants must put their Coop Membership Number in the upper right
hand corner of the application to be assured
of co-op pricing.
Also, complete the Sales Tax Exemption
Certificate if you’ve been paying sales tax
for your home propane. It isn’t required,
and you won’t have to pay it any more.
The Arena Film Club Schedule
Monday July 1 The Brass Teapot
originally a short story, then a comic
book and now a feature film written by
Tim Macy. It was directed by awardwinning commercial and music video
director Ramaa Mosely. It is the story
of a young, struggling couple who
stumbled upon a version of Aladdin’s
lamp. The brass teapot that comes into
their possession will bring them wealth,
but with what price?
The film received mixed reviews,
perhaps because of mixing cinematic
elements not normally combined in the
typical Hollywood fare. 2012 Running
time 101 minutes.
Monday, July 7 French Cancan French
musical film written and directed by
Jean Renoir and starring Jean Gabin and
María Félix. Set in the late 19th century,
it is the fictional story of Henri Danglard
and the creation of the Moulin Rogue in
Paris. Although ostensibly a musical, there
are only 2 musical numbers and a grand
finale dance routine. It is has been called
a valentine to Paris, the Belle Époque, and
the Impressionist painters. The digitally remastered film is singled out for the vibrant
and colorful filming. François Truffaut
reviewed the film in Arts magazine in May
1955 and called the film “a milestone in the
history of colour of cinema. Every scene is
a cartoon in movement”. In French with
subtitles. 1954 Running time 102 minutes.
Monday July 22 Into the White At the
beginning of World War II a hostile chance
encounter in the skies above the harsh
Norwegian wilderness leaves two aircraft
- one British, one German - shot down in
a remote and isolated region. By strange
coincidence the crews seek shelter in the
same cabin. Director Peter Naess explains,
“The whole idea of making the film is to
explore what happens when two enemies
meet and are forced to survive together.”
The film can easily be viewed as an allegory
to our present world situation fraught with
rivalries, yet with all of us facing the same
threats of over-population, pollution,
religious differences and economic warfare.
English, German, & Norwegian with
subtitles. 2012 Running time 101 minutes
Where’s Waldo Hunt to
Aid GoLocal Campaign
As part of the recently launched Go
Local campaign and in conjunction with the
publisher of the Where’s Waldo children’s
book series, The Four-Eyed Frog Bookstore
is sponsoring an event that asks shoppers
to find the elusive Waldo at any of some 25
local participating businesses.
Anyone wishing to be part of the hunt
may obtain a “Find Waldo Local in Gualala”
passport at any participating business.
These businesses will be easy to find as they
will display a Waldo logo
in their window, plus the
passports contain the names
of all the participating
sites. Participants get
their passport stamped or
signed for each “Waldo”
store they visit. The first
100 Waldo seekers to get
their passports stamped or
signed at 10 or more sites can bring their
passports to Four-Eyed Frog Books to
collect their prizes. Collecting store stamps
or signatures at twenty or more businesses
will entitle diligent seekers entry in a grand
prize drawing at Waldo’s 25th anniversary
party at the bookstore on July 31, with
one of the the top prizes being a 6-volume
deluxe set of Waldo books.
Where’s Waldo is the creation of Martin
Handford, whose entertaining drawings
of crowd scenes swept the world in 1987.
Since then, the Where’s Waldo books have
held a cherished spot on bookstore shelves
the world over. There are now over 58
million Waldo books in print worldwide
and they’ve been translated into eighteen
languages. An entire generation has grown
up searching for Waldo and his cast of
wandering companions.
There is no charge to participate, and the
hunt lasts for the entire month of July. For
more information about hunting for Waldo
in Gualala, call Four-Eyed Frog Books at
884-1333.

The Public is Urged to Attend GoLocal Meeting
by Joel Chabon
The big box stores are killing Main Street.
It is happening here on the Mendonoma
Coast. Attracted to these large retail
corporations by low prices, Mendonomans
regularly go to Ukiah and Santa Rosa to
shop. According to statistics, only 5 to 7
percent of the money they spend there ever
finds its way back to the coast whereas 50%
of the money spent here is recirculated to
support all areas of our micro economy.
How we can change this, develop a
thriving community, and build resiliency
as a coastal community is the subject of the
“Go Local Mendonoma” forum at the Coast
Community Library in Point Arena at 7:00
p.m. on Tuesday, July 9.
The emergence and dominance of
unimaginably large retail corporations
has changed the way America shops. It is
impossible for smaller retailers to compete
on price against large corporations because
of their buying power. Take our food supply
for example: four meatpackers process 85%
of the nation’s beef. One dairy company
processes 40% of the nation’s milk; and five
chains control 50% of US grocery sales.
When you spend more of your dollars
in your own community, you have more
businesses to choose from and a better
selection of goods and services. You directly
contribute to the financial well-being of
yourself, your friends, and your neighbors.
You support more job opportunities and
better paying jobs in your own community:
fewer people out of work, less need for
younger people to leave town in search of
opportunity, and more opportunity for
you to start a thriving business.
Have you given our local economy
much thought? Do you have any idea
how many businesses in Point Arena are
struggling to stay alive? Do you ever think,
“How can I help to support my town and
help build a more sustainable economy?”
Or have you ever thought, “If I owned that
business, here’s what I would do to attract
customers?”
Cosponsored by Mendonoma Transition
Towns and Go Local Mendonoma, the
event will be hosted by Mitch McFarland,
publisher of this paper. Speakers include
Steve May, owner of the Surf Market,
Joel Crockett, owner of Four-Eyed
Frog Bookstore, and Susan Lightfoot,
coordinator of the Farm2Fork initiative of
North Coast Opportunities.
This forum is your opportunity to share
your ideas and thoughts and to become a
part of the Go Local movement to free us
from domination by the Walmarts of the
world. Come and share your voice at the
Coast Community Library in Point Arena
at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 9.
Mendocino Music Festival Opens July 13
It is time once again for the Mendcino
Music Festival with great music in a wide
variety of genre. Opening July 13 with the
Festival Orchestra playing Verdi, Prokofiev,
and Rachmaninoff, the Festival continues
until July 27 with another performance
by the Orchestra and Chorus. Two dozen
acts will perform in the meantime with
Latin beats, bluegrass, a capella singers, a
string quartet, big band music, jazz, and
Jorma Kaukonen of Jefferson Airplane
and Hot Tuna fame, and, finally, a benefit
performance of Poco, the seminal country
rock band.
There will also be workshops by several of
the artists and dinner parties.
This is the 26th year of the festival, which
becomes a familiar site to passers-by of the
town of Mendocino once the huge 840 seat
white tent is erected overlooking the Pacific
Ocean.
Full details on the Festival can be had at
www.mendocinomusicfestival.org.
REC RALLY
cont’d from page 3
has solicited participation in discussing
plans for making recreation available today,
while RCRC raises the capital necessary to
construct the swimming pool in the future.
Some of the ideas that are being planned
for the near future are horseshoes, disc golf,
hiking, bocce ball and petanque, as well as
opening the use of the property for special
events. To best meet the recreational needs
of our community, the Center would like
to hear the public’s ideas and opinions on
these and any other activities.

getting more expensive with the rise in costs of everything including park permits, gasoline
and vehicle maintenance, portable toilet rentals and material for set construction. Realizing that they did not have the funding to offer a 2013 season, an emergency fundraising
drive (The Cost of Free) was organized with over $43,000 raised in a very short time, thus
permitting an abbreviated schedule. Though indoor shows such as the Point Arena show
are the few with an admission charge, the Troupe has held tickets prices this year to a very
reasonable $15 with a youth (under 15) ticket only $10. Those able and willing to provide
a little extra support to the Troupe can purchase sponsor seats for $30 that allow these ticket
holders a reserved seat of their choice. The house is usually full for this show and for those
who don’t arrive early, seating can be challenging.
Of course, those who are familiar with Mime Troupe shows know to arrive early to enjoy
the 30-minute musical interlude by the fine Mime Troupe band lead by Pat Moran.
is colder than 65 degrees. You can start seeds in a greenhouse for transplanting after the
soil has warmed. Transplant them before they reach 6” tall, since larger transplants may
never develop properly.
Heirloom corn varieties are heavy nitrogen feeders, so legume cover crops are often
grown first, then chopped up into the soil prior to planting the corn.
River Valley Heirloom Seeds sells a ‘Black Aztec’ corn it calls an ancient, MesoAmerican variety. Its kernels age from white to purple to blue-black, and supposedly
it is delicious for eating fresh when the ears are young and the kernels pale. All the
phytonutrients may not have developed at that stage. You must learn to process dried
corn to get the full benefits.
Blueberries are celebrated sources of antioxidants, but apparently all blueberry
varieties are not created equal. The Times article rated just five varieties for the amount
of antioxidants per gram of weight. ‘Elliott’ came out ahead at 30.5, but the article did not
explain why, so more research is definitely needed.
Another source praises “wild-derived” lowbush blueberries (Vaccinium angustifolium)
for incredibly high amounts of polyphenol antioxidants and anthocyanins. Fall Creek
Nursery sells some that are quite low-growing, so you could dump ice on them to meet
their chilling requirements.
Highbush blueberries (V. corymbosum) are the usual commercial types, and
highbush, lowbush and rabbiteye varieties are mostly growable in Zone 17, if kept away
from wind and salt.
Other nutrient-rich crops are cherries, purple sweet potatoes, scallions and arugula.
Then there’s purple cabbage, in which the U.S. Department of Agriculture researchers
identified 36 different anthocyanins.
Our ancestors, with their nutrient-rich diet, were mostly done in by injury and
infection, not heart disease, stroke or cancer. We can emulate them by choosing to grow
and eat deeply colored plant foods.
AUTO SHOW

in a raffle held the night before the show at Bones Roadhouse in Gualala. The raffle benefits
the Meals on Wheels program of the Senior Center and the prize is the opportunity to sit
in and “fire up” a nitro-methane fuel-burning dragster. This Friday night event at Bones is a
Drive In Car Show itself and provides a nice warm-up for the main event. Bones proprietor,
Mike “Bone Daddy” Thomas, has invited the Les Filles Rouges Burlesque troupe, Fire
Dancers and the Bud Girls to round out the show. No charge to attend this popular evening.
Continental breakfast will be available for purchase on the Gualala Arts Center grounds
from 7:00 to 10:00 a.m., lunch will be available for purchase from 11:00 a.m. to close and
beverages (wine, beer, soft) are available all day.
PINEWOOD
from page 4
“Summernationals” Pinewood Derby, Zidane Koller took First and Second place in the 12
and under class, in addition to winning First place in the Historic class. Julia Almind took
First in the 13-18 class and Alan Ricioli was the top finisher in the adult class.
The electronic timer used on the track can calculate a “scale speed” that indicates the
proportional speed the cars would be traveling if they were the size of real cars. The winners
are clocking scale speeds approaching 190 mph.
This is the 3rd year of the event locally and the 60th anniversary of the first race in Manhattan
Beach California. The event continues to grow with some 40 entrants last year, most of
which were youths.
SYMPHONY
from page 6
with a performance of the composer’s music and featuring Maltese tenor Joseph Calleja.
The orchestra will present the overture from Nabucco as well as the less frequently played
overtures from Alzira and “Giovanna d’Arco”, along with the sumptuous overture from Les
Vêpres Siciliennes.
The series will conclude with Bobby McFerrin on September 14. This concert, recorded
in 2007 was an important moment of opening up to new musical works for the orchestra
and the Milanese public. The dialogue with jazz and other musical genres at La Scala has
been rare, but always of the highest quality. At La Scala, Bobby conducted the orchestra,
but also sang the part of the second violoncello in a concert of Vivaldi’s music and
improvised, inviting the orchestra and the audience to join him in a decidedly unusual
musical experience.
Doors open for the 2:00 p.m. show at 1:30 p.m. and tickets are $15 online and at the
door.

SCUTTLEBUTT
from page 8
federal officials are looking to cash in on a million-and-a-half dollar bounty by subverting
state law.
Interstate 40 goes through Tennessee and is thought to be a major drug trafficking route.
Conventional wisdom is that the drugs come in from Mexico on the eastbound side and
the cash proceeds goes back on the west. If stopping the flow of drugs were the priority,
traffic stops would occur largely in the eastbound direction, but guess what? A review of
daily activity sheets discovered that, when officers noted the location of their traffic stops,
there were 10 times as many stops on the money side. It has become so lucrative that
different agencies now vie with each other to make stops. There are even videos showing
competing officers arguing with each other as to who gets to make the bust.
Scott Bullock, senior attorney with the Washington-based Institute for Justice, which
is fighting many of these cases, claims, “Under civil forfeiture, you give law enforcement a
direct and perverse incentive to go out and try to take as much property from citizens as
possible.”
If you have been wondering why marijuana remains illegal despite the fact that most
Americans now favor decriminalization, this might give you a clue. It is all about the
money. It hasn’t always been, but it certainly is now. The Federal Asset Forfeiture Fund in
2011 was 1.8 billion dollars, and has more than tripled since Obama took office.
The Institute for Justice gives us theses facts to ponder. Marijuana arrests have risen
sharply over the last two decades and now make up about half of all drug arrests in the
United States. Of the more than eight million marijuana arrests made between 2001 and
2010, nearly 90 percent were for possession. There were nearly 900,000 marijuana arrests
in 2010 — 300,000 more than for all violent crimes combined.
BOOK REVIEW
from page 10
“How old are you really?” asks the 7-year old, as he spends more time with Hettie and
begins to realize her uncommon confidence and seeming maturity.
“Eleven.”
He thinks for a bit. “How long have you been eleven for?”
Hettie smiles.
It was the suicide that created the disturbance, set things in motion. A dark, scary, surreal
chain of events. An upheaval that threatens not only the boy and his family, but one that
could ultimately wreak havoc upon creation as we know it. Or think we know it.
But through it all, a prescient, mysterious, miraculous girl who’s been eleven for perhaps
a long time, calmly takes our protagonist by the hand and promises, “I will protect you, no
matter what!” It proves to be more difficult than her confident demeanor suggests.
Neil Gaiman has taken his childhood memories, his night-time terrors, and he’s molded
them into a story of past, present and future. Of life, death, of something in-between. Of
what it means to be a “grown-up”, to be human, and what it doesn’t. Of the origins of time,
of being, of the very fabric of the universe. He’s exposed the fragile permanence of forever.
Lofty stuff, folded into a fable.
It would be undeserving to suggest that this is a book in which Harry Potter meets
Stephen King, but there’s a touch of each. I can imagine it as a movie Tim Burton might
want to direct.
I read it in one sitting. I’m going to read it again.

WHAT IS A CITY? An incorporated city like Point Arena is a legally defined government entity with powers delegated by the federal, state and county. It is a public agency
that is mandated to uphold and abide by applicable State and Federal Laws, and
those additional laws that are created/approved by the Council or voters of the city
such as our Municipal Code. Our city also has a sewer treatment plant – this alone
is an enormous realm of responsibilities. Public safety on our sidewalks, parks, events
and streets is both an obligation and a liability. Tax dollars, programs and grants
create the majority of the city’s income therefore creating very onerous and stringent
regime relative to personnel, funds use, maintenance schedules, and administrative reporting. If proper insurance, reporting and bureaucratic protocols are not followed, the
city will lose its revenue sources. Your Council carries a heavy burden of liability for
proper management of our city - it’s all very complicated but worth it for the unique &
beautiful city we all call home!
WHAT IS ON YOUR AGENDA? Meetings are open to Everyone - all ages encouraged! Come share your ideas or just listen to the decision being made about your City
and Parks! From curfews to skateparks, sewer rate increases to leash laws, it all starts
and stops in a meeting...
