We’re a long way from Hollywood but over the years, Humboldt County has been host to film crews of every stripe, along with an entire army of Ewoks. A quick skim of our map sourced from the Humboldt-Del Norte Film Commission’s guide shows you where E.T. waddled in the woods and where movies like Star Wars: Return of the Jedi and Outbreak took advantage of our larger-than-life landscapes and historic architecture. And it’s not just the blockbusters — cool indies have made Humboldt their backdrops, too, like the cult retrooccult picture The Love Witch and the trippy Swiss Army Man, starring Daniel Radcliffe as a corpse. And there’s a reason the camera loves us. In Perfect Trips, we’ll tour some of the places caught on film, along with some downright cinematic views. (Hey, Terrence Malick didn’t shoot Tree of Life here for nothing.) Take a trip back to the prehistoric days and see where the dinosaurs of The Lost World: Jurassic Park roamed. You can let the kids loose in the woods where everyone Tesser-ed to in A Wrinkle in Time — it’s part of a beautiful park and playground where the film commission is showing the movie on a big outdoor screen this August. How cool is that? We’ll also send you to some of our favorite indoor theaters for watching movies and plays, including one featured in The Majestic. Not all our filmmakers are from out of town, either. In this issue you’ll meet Maria Matteoli, writer and director of The Wine of Summer, which was shot both in Barcelona, Spain, and right here in Old Town Eureka. Keep an eye out for her next project Agnes, too. Her previous project had a local premiere at the Eureka

Theater, a gorgeous Art Deco classic built in 1939. We’ll take a tour of the place and introduce the folks who are restoring it to its former glory, raising Photo by Mark mckenna money with classic movie showings and cocktails in the lobby. There are transportive dining experiences to be had, too. We’ll hit up Sammy’s BBQ for Polynesian-style barbecue from the Vainuku family. (Get the pineapple upside-down cake. Trust me.) Keeping it tropical, Taste of Bim brings Caribbean flavors to Old Town with traditional cuisine from Barbados, from goat curry and jerk wings to a very serious bread pudding with rum sauce. The adventurous can work up an appetite paddling a kayak to and from a local spot for crab sandwiches that has its own little dock. (Didn’t bring a kayak? No problem — there are rental options so you can still tour our waters and see our wildlife up-close.) The less active among us might prefer to set sail on the boat crafted into the bar at the Boathouse Bar and Grill. Now, that place needs to be in a movie — not too many places like it left. Send me a treatment and we’ll do lunch right at the bar. Finally, we’re rounding up some of our favorite souvenirs along the Avenue of the Giants and beyond, from kitsch to artisanal craft, for our Browsing section. And it could all be yours, minus the legwork — see the layout on page 74 for details on how you can win it all. Ready? Lights, camera, action. — Jennifer Fumiko Cahill

INTERNATIONAL FILMS, HUMBOLDT ROOTS By Deidre Pike • Photographs by León Villagómez The historic 1907 house, a few blocks from the Arcata Plaza, glows from its recent restoration. Sparse furnishings. No kitsch. Little evidence of the teen and 5 year old who live and do cartwheels there — or the additional two kids at last night’s slumber party. Humboldt-based screenwriter/director of The Wine of Summer (2013) Maria Matteoli is running on four hours of sleep. Yet she manifests elegant serenity in loose dark blouse and jeans, lipstick and slender silver earrings. These days, Matteoli

juggles two ongoing film projects with parenting. This week, she’s “a ballet mom.” Her 13-year-old daughter is dancing at the Arkley Center for the Performing Arts. “So much chaos,” she says, smiling. “Coffee?” Matteoli describes herself as a “sort of George Bailey character” from It’s a Wonderful Life. Though she’s lived in places like New York City, her Humboldt roots go back seven generations. Matteoli and husband Tim Probst bought their Arcata house about a year ago to move from Eureka.

feels comfortable letting her daughter roam in Arcata. It’s not exactly Bedford Falls but the teen can walk to ballet lessons and ride her bike to the store. “It’s great peace of mind,” she says, “for my kids to have a little bit of that childhood freedom that we had growing up.” The distressed house needed work. About 11 people had been living there, hosting frequent house music shows. Initials were carved into historic raised panel wainscoting, which was also gouged from vertical skateboarding. The upstairs bathroom floor, degraded from 40 years of leaks, collapsed during renovations. But under the worn carpet, redwood subflooring. Wide long planks were restored to reveal texture and grain. “The redwood’s beauty shines through,” Matteoli says. “The historian in me loves that we were able to bring life back into something so beautiful.” History informs Matteoli’s screenwriting. Her latest film project is Agnes, a 1950s period piece about a young actress in New York City. She came up with the idea while casting for her second feature film Lady of the Canyon, about the epic adventures of travel writer Isabella Burke in the 1870s. Matteoli wrote Agnes in record time, sending batches of 40-50 pages to her brother, who was incredulous. She recalls him asking her: “Did you just write a script in one weekend?” “Four days,” she says now. “40 years and four days.” “This is the ‘yes’ film,” she says. After two years of pitching Lady of the Canyon to no avail, Agnes has attracted industry attention. At the time of this interview, deals were pending but she expects filming on Agnes to begin this fall in New York. Matteoli’s 2013 feature film The Wine of Summer (now streaming on Amazon Prime) is about a struggling Bay Area actor who travels to Spain for inspiration. Scenes were shot in Barcelona and in Eureka’s Old Town. She and assistant director Malcolm DeSoto, who also traveled to Barcelona, edited the film from their neighboring apartments above The Speakeasy bar in Opera Alley. Local filmmaker DeSoto’s been working with Matteoli since her early music videos and the Love, Humboldt promotional series. He admires her directing skills. “Making movies can be stressful,” DeSoto says. “A lot of people, a lot of money involved. Things have to go right. Maria maintains balance, almost a family vibe. Everybody treats each other well.” Matteoli says the experience was a crash course

“Maria maintains balance, almost a family vibe. Everybody treats each other well.”

in filmmaking. After earning her film degree from Humboldt State, Matteoli was advised to make a feature instead of graduate school. “So I made a feature film,” she says. “And it was like 20 masters’ degrees all in one. I was negotiating contracts and scheduling flights from Brazil. … I slept two hours a night for two years.” Sleep deprived though she was, she revels in memories of working with actors like the Brazilian Golden Globe nominee who played an aging playwright’s lost love. “I was standing on a street in Barcelona, directing Sônia Braga. Idyllic.” Maria’s brother Mario Matteoli, an Austin-based musician, wrote the soundtrack for Wine of Summer. He now immerses himself in the music of the 1950s — think Eartha Kitt — as he writes songs for Agnes. Mario and Maria are two of seven siblings. Their mom is the oldest of 13. “We have approximately one million cousins,” Mario says.

The family knew Maria was destined to direct films. The 4-year-old prodigy ordered family members around for a “Baby Mario Comes Home from Hospital” movie. She later wrote and directed an annual “Cruz Christmas Comedy,” with roles for all those cousins. “It was impressive that she could wrangle all those cats and come up with anything,” Mario says. Aimee Taylor, owner of Shipwreck in Old Town Eureka, describes her longtime friend as “genuine and caring … a superhero.” Taylor has worked on many of Matteoli’s early projects. She did costuming for Wine of Summer in Barcelona. “It was cool to see a project that I’d seen start small go through all the stages it takes to make a film.” Taylor considers her friend a teller of impactful tales. “I think she tries to write the way she lives,” Taylor says. “She loves to find the beauty in the world.”

Gill’s By the Bay perches on the edge of the water, nestled between the seawall and the canals that form the community of King Salmon. Since 1990, the Gill family has been operating a popular restaurant here, catering to hungry fishermen and beachcombers. Many are lured from the exploration of tide pools or the tying up of boats at the docks, by the aroma of coffee, maple syrup and fried food — a tantalizing scent that wafts to the very edges of the narrow peninsula. But the reputation of one menu item far

exceeds the boundaries of this small town. In fact, folks come from far and wide to partake of the local Dungeness crab — served up in a light mix of spiced mayonnaise and heaped between two hearty slices of sourdough bread. Given that Gill’s has been feeding mariners for so long, what better way to approach this restaurant than from the bay? Gill’s narrow dock, slung alongside the entrance of King Salmon’s main canal, is the perfect place to tie up a couple of kayaks. And Humboldt Bay offers several

different boat ramps from which to start a kayak journey. It all depends on how strenuous a journey is desired and, of course, on the timing of the high and low tides. Hookton Slough, located 6 miles south of Gill’s, offers a winding paddle that cuts through 1.5 miles of canals edged with wild grasses and sandy bars before opening up on the southern end of the bay. The ideal plan would be to paddle north to Gill’s on the outgoing tide, have lunch during the slack tide and then paddle back during the incoming tide. The kayaker choosing this route is sure to share the scenery with migrating birds, as well as otters and seals. But this is a sizable journey for experienced kayakers who really want to work up an appetite. You can also put in at the Samoa Boat Ramp (295 New Navy Base Road, Samoa), cross the channel to the east side of Humboldt Bay and follow the coast south. When you reach Buhne Point, you can hook toward King Salmon Slough and make your way to the dock at Gill’s. If you have a more leisurely trip in mind, then Fields Landing is the point from which to launch your trip. Industries from lumber to whaling once enlivened the streets of Fields Landing but all

the whaling ships that once towed their giant prey back to the waiting town. Reach out and touch the thick, barnacle-coated stems of the piers that rise out of the water, holding up the deserted winches and gears of the past. Nature is reclaiming these docks, as evidenced by the collapsed roofs and ivy-strewn windows. Pelicans, cormorants and egrets abound, draping themselves over isolated stumps of piers or pieces of driftwood. Whatever the color of the sky, it will be reflected in the broad expanse of water. As you’re serenaded by the steady call of the foghorn, the aroma of Gill’s By the Bay will pull you forward, past the seawall and into the King Salmon Canal. Inside Gill’s, you’ll find some customers huddled at cozy tables, shaking off the weather and warming their hands on cups of coffee. If the weather is fair, many chose to eat on the observation deck with its many flowers, bird baths and, off to the side, a harpoon cannon once used in whaling. Wherever you choose to sit, be sure to gather up a crab sandwich with both hands. Biting down into the delicate salty-sweet flavor of Dungeness crab is a pleasure not to be missed.

Check in with www.noaa.gov before you set out. King Salmon, with its collection of backyard docks, is a community ruled by the tides. When we travel by kayak, we are reminded of this ancient rhythm. As the docks begin to rise on their floats and base of the seawall disappears under the flooding water, leave behind the tantalizing smells and the cozy tables of Gillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s By the Bay.

EUREKA THEATER SEEKS A NEW GOLDEN AGE By Steven Saint • Photographs by Ryan Filgas

It was another one of those gilded ages, when Americans were lifting themselves out of economic depression and getting on with prosperity and excess. In 1939 Streamline Art Moderne designers rolled out the art deco New York World’s Fair, the aerodynamic GM Futurliner and the soaring rounded towers of Emerald City in The Wizard of Oz. That was the year theater magnate George Mann brought a piece of Hollywood red carpet to Humboldt Bay by opening his ritzy, neon-lit Eureka Theater →

feature at Sixth and F streets. Hoist those huge cans of 35mm film in the dumbwaiter up to the projection room! Fire up the carbon-arc projectors — it’s showtime! Fast-forward nearly 80 years and we find a small group of valiant preservationists raring to restore the theater — and downtown Eureka — to its former glory. “We want to make going to the movies a total experience,” says Wendy Petty, the resident antiques dealer on the Eureka Theater board. “It’s not sitting in a crowded multiplex with a $95 popcorn — it’s a big-screen, social experience.” Her husband Chuck agrees and is heading the restoration committee. “We have a dedicated group who loves these old movies. We grew up here and we want to bring it back.”

The Eureka Theater was cut up into a triplex in 1978 and ended regular first-run features in 1996 in the face of multiplex competition. Richard Mann, son of the original Eureka Theater owner, donated the building to the nonprofit Eureka Concert and Film Center in 2000. Saddened that the theater’s 50-foot vertical blade sign and ocean liner-like monument* had fallen into disrepair, Wendy joined the theater board in 2005 and brought Chuck with her. When he wasn’t managing pathology services for St. Joseph Hospital, he was battling for hometown heritage on the Eureka Historic Preservation Commission. He even taught himself how to repair the Eureka Theater’s carbon-arc rod lamphouses and thread vintage films. Like its multiplex conquerors, the Eureka Theater went on to make more money at the concession stand than at the box office. The board even installed a digital projector in 2013, when the industry nailed down the coffin lid on 35mm prints. Now armed with the original blueprints, color schemes and most of the vintage fixtures, the Pettys are poised to take this multi-purpose events center — available for classic movies, live shows, group meetings and other community events — to the next level. But there are some hitches.

Preliminary estimates for roof repairs, painting, plumbing, heating and air conditioning, and interior renovation run between $4 million and $5 million. Looking toward an 80th anniversary next March, the group has several fundraisers planned, including its series of movies filmed in the Redwood Region, co-sponsored by the HumboldtDel Norte Film Commission. A Kickstarter campaign to restore the Streamline Moderne exterior is ready for launch, too, as soon as the theater board can determine the costs. The Pettys also envision some black-tie affairs in the theater’s upstairs apartment, just recently vacated by the elderly tenants of 29 years. Original owner George Mann used it as lodging as he made the rounds of holdings from Dinuba, California, to Klamath Falls, Oregon. The art deco tiling, curved doors and skylights will bring another piece of Hollywood’s heyday to Eureka. Restoring the apartment will run around $25,000 and volunteers have begun the sprucing up. The Pettys are betting that their team of passionate volunteers — and the whole community — will support moving back-to-the-future with the Eureka Theater as downtown’s flagship. Recent improvements include transforming the candy counter into a rounded Streamline Moderne mahogany-and-aluminum cocktail bar and restoring the upper lobby ceiling’s 1939 aluminum leaf paneling. Past management had painted the ceiling purple — Eureka artist Peter Santino refinished it with hundreds of aluminum plates. The place is starting to look like Spencer Tracy might walk in with Bette Davis on his arm. “It’s an important building and it needs to be saved,” says Wendy. “It really is the people’s theater.” Wendy and Chuck Petty at the ticket booth.

Perfect Summer Trips Popcorn Quests By Richard Stenger • Map by Jacqui Langeland Who needs to travel the world for adventure? Here in Humboldt County one can run from dinosaurs in a fern canyon, crash on an alien planet, race Lewis and Clarke across the continent, chase rebel scum on the moon Endor, fist fight under the Big Trees, search the woods for Bigfoot, and befriend a corpse on a desert island. Well, in the movies, anyway. So step right up and follow in the tracks of Hollywood stars and crews who’ve transformed our piece of heaven into cinematic gold. The path will lead to surprising food discoveries, modish places to watch films now and perhaps even the ghost of Harry Houdini. →

If you were Bigfoot and you needed a home, how big would you make it? Try starting with 1 million acres, the size of Six Rivers National Forest near Willow Creek, the place where the modern legend of the hairy monster began 60 years ago this autumn, when a Humboldt newspaper coined the term “Bigfoot” following a series of mysterious encounters with the creature in the federal land’s remote ravines and valleys. Many have paid homage to the Wandering Willie of Weitchpec, perhaps none better than comedian-turned-film-noir-director Bobcat Goldthwait, who, after earning kudos from GQ as best director for a dark comedy, turned his attention to Humboldt’s crypto-beast. Goldthwait filmed the dark horror Willow Creek (2013) all over the eponymous town and nearby hills. To follow Bobcat’s tracks, start at Bigfoot Books — owner Steven Streufert served

Bigfoot Books 40600 State Route 299, Willow Creek 707-267-4646

as an advisor on the film and knows more about the creature than your average humanoid. Stop in the Willow Creek China Flat Museum, which has the world’s largest collection of curios related to the big guy and a selfie-ready carved statue. Big dinosaurs might be scary but it’s the little ones that will get you. Just ask the bad guy in the Jurassic Park sequel The Lost World (1997) — he made the fatal mistake of underestimating the tenacity of a horde of hungry mini-dino-raptors, waiting to bounce and pounce in Fern Canyon, a primeval gorge with 50-foot walls draped in lush ferns. This Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park natural wonder has served as the backdrop for many other dinosaur flicks, not surprising considering that its surrounding redwood forest represents one of the oldest ecosystems on planet Earth, remaining unchanged for millions of years. Director Steven Spielberg couldn’t

resist using another nearby geological feature as eye candy in the film, too. Wedding Rock in Patrick’s Point State Park, like Fern Canyon, stood in for the rainforests of Isla Sorna, the dinosaur land in the film and best-selling novel by Michael Crichton. Tree huggers and Earth First!ers have nothing on the environmental saint in The Big Trees (1952), an innocent Quaker girl who tries to save the old growth redwoods from various unscrupulous timbermen bent on getting their cut from the land. Filmed near Orick and in Humboldt Redwoods State Park, www.humboldtredwoods.org), the film stars Kirk Douglas as the leading man. Douglas, who agreed not to get paid to get out of his long-term contract with Warner Brothers, called the film a bad one. That might be a bit strong, considering how awesome the runaway train wreck scene is, especially since he — spoiler alert — saves aforementioned saint

Foodies Fans of the Halloween films remain passionate, both pro and con, about the outlier in the series, numero three, the John Carpenter-produced Season of the Witch (1982), which, unlike the others, had no Michael Meyers as the villain. Some call it heresy. Some say it was ahead of its time. In either case, one of the stars was the Silver Shamrock Novelties Factory, a front

hiding androids, witches, cursed masks and one of the strangest, most diabolical conspiracies ever. The bizarre brick façade is actually a former milk bottling plant that in real life once rained down “snowflakes” made of dried milk bits over the tiny town of Loleta. Home of the nearby Loleta Cheese Factory, the whistle-stop town has more to do with Jack cheeses than Jack O’Lanterns. And the only object sharp around there is the cheddar. Try it fresh in the sample section or melted at the Queso Kings grilled cheese bar inside. Still want a spooky experience? Drive on Cannibal Island Road to the coast, if you dare. (OK, there’s no history of actual cannibalism but think of the sign selfies!) The fabled Lost Coast, the longest stretch of wild shore in California, is far from any urban areas, so despite its natural beauty, the region remains woefully undocumented in the cinematic sense. However, it should be noted that theological giant Thomas Merton was so enthralled he wrote his final book about the place. And

a cryptozoological giant, Bigfoot, starred in the locally shot The Lost Coast Tapes (2012). Should you decide to bring your camera or camera crew to this frontier, rest assured signs of civilization abound on the L.C., in particular in the town of Shelter Cove, the lone outpost on the almost 100mile coastal stretch. One fine example is the Gyppo Ale Mill, which is both down-home and high-class. One can pair the in-house brews like Mexican Lager or Raspberry Ale with comfy pub standards like fish and chips, or more ambitious fare like sweet brined Berkshire pork chops and coconut flan. Another notable nosh stop is Mi Mochima, which features Venezuelan fare. Guests rave about the empanadas, sangria, tamale-like hallacas, green cilantro sauce on burgers, and apricot cake. And after a three-day hike (or even a leisurely stroll) along the Lost Coast, why not? → Sweet brined Berkshire pork chop at Gyppo Ale Mill. sam armanino

Art Lovers History doesn’t stay in the past but perhaps Almost Heroes (1998) should, according to movie critics who scored it an 8 out of 100 on Rotten Tomatoes. Still, the goofball period comedy, in which Matthew Perry and the late, great Chris Farley race Lewis and Clarke in the early 1800s through the American frontier to the Pacific, has its memorable moments, like when Perry’s character attempts to teach Farley’s to read. And Humboldt County shines, especially when the pair reaches its goal along Trinidad State Beach. Other scenes might better have found the cutting room floor, like the slapping contest with Native inhabitants. Nevertheless, the town of Trinidad, a fishing village perched on an ocean cliff, showcases actual Native American culture,

whether in a museum, a nearby recreated Yurok village or its souvenir shops, which display and sell jewelry made in traditional style from dentalium, small delicate tusk shells, once common in the region and used as a kind of de facto currency. No assemblage of movies about Humboldt County would be complete without a movie called, well, Humboldt County (2008), a dramedy in which a Los Angeles med student accidentally disappears into an Emerald Triangle growing community. While filmed in many locations — Blue Lake, Eureka and Arcata — the grand finale features stunning Luffenholtz County Beach south of Trinidad off of U.S. Highway 101, a favorite spot for plein air artists. Jutting sea stacks, ocean cliffs, secluded coves and

sea caves, sea lions and star fish all find their way on canvases and photographs hanging in local storefronts, including the Trinidad Art Gallery, a co-op featuring original creations of some of Humboldt’s finest artists. For more artistic revelry, carouse through town during Trinidad Arts Night, the first Friday every month from May through October. What’s not to love about a bro-mance in which one of the leads just happens to be dead? It’s only a minor detail for Swiss Army Man (2016), which transforms the picturesque beaches and redwood forests around Trinidad into a deserted tropical island. Paul Dano shines alongside Daniel Radcliffe, sans Hogwarts wizard wand. Despite the strange premise, the

Trinidad Bay Art & Music Festival August 10-12 and 17-19

film delivers a creative tour de force, in large part because the corpse, improbably, serves as a platform for musical and artistic expression for Dano’s character, whether as muse, de facto woodwind instrument or flaming canvas. Find yourself more traditionally inspired when the fishing village of Trinidad hosts the Trinidad Bay Art & Music Festival the weekends of August 10-12 and 17-19, featuring acclaimed classical musicians and cutting-edge visual artists, such as French artist Marceau Verdiere, whose moody abstractions hang in galleries and museums all over the United States and Europe. → Trinidad Art Gallery. courtesy of the gallery humboldtinsider.com

Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park 16949 CA-36, Carlotta, 707-777-3683 www.parks.ca.gov

With the Kids Don’t be surprised if you see half-pint Bigfoots or adults dressed in spaceage garb when hiking in Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park, the location of the famous Endor moon speeder chase scene in Return of the Jedi (1983). Dedicated fans frequently visit the park, located 15 miles east of Fortuna on State Route 36, looking for tell-tale clues, such as the crossed X marks and the massive fallen tree that identify hidden Cheatham Grove, an exceptionally pretty stand of old growth redwoods on the outskirts of the park, as the specific location. One may find more self-identifying Ewoks and Storm Troopers in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, where George Lucas filmed more Endor scenes. Oprah Winfrey plays a 60-foot witch who towers over the other characters in A Wrinkle in Time (2018), based on the classic 1962 children’s book by Madeleine L’Engle. But the real giants in the 3D sci-fi/fantasy

adventure are the 300-foot-tall redwoods of Sequoia Park that steal their scenes in the film. Besides the big trees, the film, directed by Ava DuVernay, displays a big heart and big ambition. See for yourself on Aug. 18 when the Humboldt-Del Norte Film Commission hosts Movies in the Park on the lawn. (If you’re in Humboldt earlier, the critically acclaimed fantasy mystery Coco (2017) plays on July 21.) Musicians and Looney Tunes warm up guests at 7 PM. The feature presentation starts at dusk, usually around 8:45 PM. Dress warmly, eat organic popcorn and don’t bring your pooch or hooch. Will and Jaden Smith got no respect for After Earth (2013), picking up three Razzies for Worst Actor, Worst Supporting Actor and Worst Screen Combo for their efforts. Honestly, the movie wasn’t that bad. It was designed for a teen audience, not an adult one, said Film Commissioner Cassandra Hesseltine. This writer agrees.

The much-maligned Jaden Smith did as much as one could expect in the lead role, considering the constant blathering and badgering of father Will. Nevertheless, Humboldt Redwoods State Park, the primary location for the M. Night Shyamalan sci-fi dystopia pic, earned plenty of praise. “We wanted a place that looked like it was untouched by humanity,” location manager Dow Dresser told the Los Angeles Times. “This forest had a spectacular scope and really was very cinematic in every single way.” We think you’ll agree. → After Earth.

The oldest building in the nation designed for movies, the Minor Theatre has experienced its share of drama over the century. The circa 1914 landmark has survived bankruptcies, wars and, at the request of Harry Houdini, an unexpected renovation to the stage floor for his act. Now a triplex with comfy oversized recliners, beer on tap and trendy snack options like kimchi hot dogs and vegan empanadas, the Minor presents firstrun Hollywood flicks and independent features. Wonder Woman created quite a buzz when the theater invited women only for a weekend show. In April, the screens light up with dozens of shorts as part of the Humboldt International Film Festival, the world’s oldest student-run film fest. Celebrated as California’s best preserved Victorian Village, Ferndale has served as the backdrop for many period movies, perhaps none better known than The Majestic (2001), a post-World War II drama in which Jim Carrey, in his first major departure from a comedy role, recovers from amnesia, learns a dark secret about his past and lovingly restores a small-town theater. In real life, the circa 1920 Hart Building, a Victorian vaudeville and movie theater, today houses the Ferndale Repertory Theatre, the oldest and largest of Humboldt’s resident community theatres, producing impressive main stage productions since 1972. Upcoming FRT productions in late 2018 include Young Frankenstein and A Christmas Story: The Musical. For the best of first-run independent films, including documentaries and foreign offerings, unorthodox music and comedy shows, featuring everything from psych-folk to tragic pop, intermixed with cocktails, other spirits and occasional karaoke, one can do no better than the Miniplex, a small venue with big, bold dreams. Dine on mac and cheese first — the Miniplex is in the same building as Richards’ Goat Tavern and Tea Room — then settle in for the show. Still hungry? Try the theater’s popcorn popped in coconut oil (optional Cajun spices or nutritional yeast) or gluten-free vegan tater tots. If you miss a movie, don’t fret. Some films screened at the Miniplex are available afterward to rent at La Dolce Video. The Magestic set at night. photo copyrighted by Matt Knowles Aesthetic Design & Photography

Sammy’s BBQ and its island style By Andrea Juarez Photographs by Amy Kumler Styling by Lynn Leishman Clouds of tantalizing smoke wisp gently and permeate the corner of U.S. Highway 101 and R Street in Eureka, where Sammy’s BBQ and Catering (1709 Fifth St.) resides. Here, locals and travelers passing through line up for award-winning barbecue. Out back of the restaurant, the aroma of low-and-slow barbecuing beef, pork and chicken on the 4-by-4-foot grill and smoker is even more intense. It’s an olfactory high sure to make most salivate. Sammy’s BBQ is a casual dining spot run by the Vainuku family, who hail from the South Pacific Islands. Owners Sammy Vainuku, 32, and his wife Sarah, as well as Sammy’s dad, mom and sister have been cranking out Polynesian and “mainland”

traditional-style barbecue since starting as a catering business in 2012. The Eureka location was opened in November 2016 after it outgrew its first (much smaller) brick-and-mortar in King Salmon. Sammy, who grew up in Eureka, credits his father, Taholo, 64, who also goes by “David,” for inspiring his love of barbecue and cooking for others. “I got my passion from my dad, who was always feeding crowds,” Sammy says. “Whether it was a birthday or Sunday after church, he was barbecuing for family and friends, and we loved it.” At the restaurant, the father and son are responsible for making the meats. They start their days at 6 a.m., making magic with fire, mesquite and black oak. “This is how we do it on the island,” says David, who was born and raised on Tonga. “We make sure to make the food good. It’s not just to make money but so people enjoy it and so they keep coming back.” Inside the restaurant, Sarah deals with delivery people while Sammy’s mother Leua (pronounced “Lay-wah”) adds the last of the ingredients to chop suey and his sister Ana makes mammoth bowls of potato and macaroni salads. Sammy’s aunt Alusi, his brother Eddy and his cousins Tita and Mana, also work at the restaurant. “We love to be here,” Sammy says. “It feels good when our customers tell us they are happy

from the good food and energy at the restaurant.” Patrons have voted Sammy’s BBQ best barbecue and best catering. In 2017, Sammy’s BBQ won the Best Barbecue award from the North Coast Journal and, at the time of publication, the restaurant is in the running for the same award in 2018. For me and many customers, it’s the nuanced flavors of the tropics and Asian influence on the offerings that make this barbecue joint special — from the barely sweet but slightly charred teriyaki chicken to the moist and smoky kalua pulled pork to the glossy chop suey and the must-have pineapple upside down yellow cake. For patrons jonesing for traditional barbecue that’s smoky, moist and nicely charred, Sammy and his dad throw down some mighty fine tri-tip and St. Louis-style ribs. With all their meats, you can easily skip the sauce. The creamy potato salad is spot-on, as is the zingy, crisp coleslaw studded with pineapple. Diners can get their barbecue via a sandwich (one meat topped with one side $10), a combo plate (one or two meats plus two sides $11, $13), family style (one or two meats plus two sides that feeds 4 to 5 people $40-$60) or meat by the pound ($12-$15). And ribs are available by the half or full rack ($12.50, $25). Tip: Get there early. Food is made fresh daily and popular items like the ribs, tri-tip and pineapple cake frequently sell out. If your usual is out, there’s still plenty on the menu to please.

Enjoy a hearty breakfast or a romantic dinner with wine on the banks of the Klamath River.

Above: Friday, Saturday and Sunday’s goat curry.

On the Side After many requests for Long’s side sauces, A Taste of Bim is now selling its pepper sauce (it’s hot but not ridiculously so), yellow curry sauce and a mango chutney at local markets from Redway to Trinidad.

(wings $8.99, plate $16.99) — nicely charred with layers of flavor and just a bit of heat from marinating in “thyme, rosemary, allspice and the kitchen sink,” Long says. The peas and rice (pigeon peas and brown rice, $3.99) and plantain chips ($3.99) are solid. Locals are fans of the Caribbean fish tacos ($11.99) and baked patties with beef, spinach or veggies ($4.50 - $5). The menu also has some traditional Bajan dishes that are less familiar, such as the frizzled cod fish ($16.99). Typically it’s made from flying fish but since that’s hard to come by in these parts, Long uses cod instead. It’s served shredded in a slightly sweet tomato-based sauce with chunks of carrots and other vegetables. It’s a hearty dish when paired with rice and peas. Others prefer it with mashed potatoes. If you like goat or oxtails, head to A Taste of Bim on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, when they offer curry goat ($18.99) and brown stewed oxtail ($22.99). They sell out every weekend so you’re humboldtinsider.com

A Taste of Bim 613 3rd St., Eureka 707-798-6300 www.atasteofbim.org Tuesday - Thursday 11 AM - 9 PM Friday & Saturday 11 AM - 9:30 PM Sunday 1 pM - 8 PM

taking your chances if you get there late. Upon Long’s recommendation, I had the goat and it did not disappoint. The goat meat here is shredded to help diners avoid troublesome bones and served in a fragrant, dark curry sauce with carrots. Unlike goat dishes elsewhere that can be too gamey and tough for some, this version is tender and mild-flavored. Long sources the goat and oxtail locally and it’s a noticeable difference. At A Taste of Bim, nearly everything is made in-house, even an assortment of Caribbean beverages. If you are a fan of hibiscus, try the sorrel — a cold, sweet drink akin to the Mexican agua de Jamaica but with amplified spices. Make sure to save room for dessert. The bread pudding with rum sauce ($5.50) is popular, as is the Jamaican ice cream ($4 for two small scoops). The latter is refreshing, with so many tropical fruit flavors to choose from: guava, mango, banana, grape nut, soursop, coconut and rum raisin. But a must-try is Verna’s pone ($4.75) — the quintessential Bajan dessert made from yucca. It’s reminiscent of a moist spice cake and topped with a light coconut sauce. While eating it, knowing this duo’s story, you can’t help but feel part of a culinary tradition passed from one generation to the next, from the island to the U.S.

The Boathouse Bar & Grill By Grant Scott-Goforth Photographs by Amy Kumler • Styling by Lynn Leishman The Boathouse Bar & Grill feels like a moment in Humboldt County history. And, to be fair, it is. Locals (and repeat visitors) will remember its predecessor the Whaler’s Inn, a hallowed and storied Fields Landing bar and restaurant that was, for most of the county’s residents, a destination. Fields Landing itself is retro, in a way. The unincorporated →

community (population: 217; elevation: 13 feet) is speckled with charming houses, between which you can spy the waters of Humboldt Bay. It’s a tight community that found purchase as the fishing and timber industry declined around it. And stepping into the Boathouse feels like stepping into that transition time — a recent history. The front door opens right into a bar that might appear kitschy at first glance. But settle onto a barstool, and you’ll notice real craft, from the framed stained glass whale to the ropes and pulleys, to the Japanese fishing floats on the bar and the bar itself — a repurposed skiff whose mast juts through the ceiling. Make sure to come hungry or thirsty, or both. If I say the Boathouse is no-frills, I mean it lovingly. There are beer and wine specials, 20 taps and a full bar, but it’s not a craft cocktail place. They’ll make whatever you order but it’s up to you to order. On this particular visit, I stuck with the 10 Barrel Apocalypse IPA, but a wide array of drinks, including an enticing Bloody Mary, emanated from the bar. The menu is solid pub fare with a few standouts. The fresh beef burgers are juicy and served with a mountain of fries. The pepper jack burger comes adorned with “bottle caps” — battered and fried jalapeño rounds. Just the right amount of kick to necessitate a second round. The fish and chips are heartily breaded and the specials feature a rotating variety of seafoods. Also: garlic fries. If sitting at the bar isn’t your thing, there are small tables in the barroom, and a labyrinthine back area that can house a good crowd. It feels like a pirate’s tavern (thankfully free of menace), a place where you can sink into the dark corners, cloaked in privacy. You really should belly up to the bar though. It’s a friendly place full of regulars and, on my visit, some of the patrons fell into a deep conversation full of bulldozer jargon that had me completely lost. If the conversation isn’t entertainment enough, seek out the pool room, which houses two tables in a room that slants upward and narrows like a ship’s bow. Don’t worry, the felts are level. I imagine the slope accounts for some interesting late-night billiard matches. Those with sea legs are definitely favored. There’s also an outdoor area where you can soak up Humboldt Bay fog, enjoy a smoke, or get that above-deck feeling if you need to steady.

on B .

Just north of Trinidad, Patrick’s Point State Park calls, with stunning vistas, traditional Yurok structures and the appropriately named Agate Beach. Farther up, Orick is the hub for plenty of trails and camping possibilities. Start at the Kuchel Visitor Center, staffed by the National Park Service, and pick your Redwood National Park adventure, whether it’s the epic Tall Trees Grove, the dreamy Ladybird Johnson Grove, the Skunk Cabbage Trail or the must-see wonder of Fern Canyon.

In the charming town of Trinidad, Humboldt County’s fishing past lives on. Every day, the boats that dot the small harbor’s moorings scour the sea among dramatic, rocky outcroppings. For a look back, tour the Trinidad Museum, then stop at the smaller Memorial Lighthouse and take in the view and the sea air. Trinidad Art Night fills the little town with music, food and local artwork every first Friday of the month, and the annual Fish Festival and Blackberry Festival bring in folks from all over.

Located in the Six Rivers National Forest, the town’s motto is “river fun in the mountain sun.” Willow Creek is hot enough for wine making or a cool dip in a Camp Kimtu swimming hole. The weather also means great produce at roadside stands and local restaurants. If you’re adventurous, you can throw on a vest and do some river rafting, and more leisurely types can fish the Trinity River or play a round of golf. Just keep your eyes peeled, because this is Bigfoot country. Swing into the China Flat Museum to explore the lore and take a selfie with his 25-foot redwood likeness.

Humboldt residents socked in by summer fog know that they can generally find truth and relief in Blue Lake’s motto: “sunshine and sea air.” Where the Mad River takes its final stretch toward the Pacific, a small community of 1,200 displays an international reach. Once sawmills ruled, but now the Dell’Arte International School of Physical Theater imports students from around the world to learn the craft of commedia dell’arte and perform dramas and old-school clowning year round.

McKinleyville The sign says horses have the right of way, which should give you an idea of McKinleyville’s vibe. Some of its biggest attractions are outdoors. Play with the kids in Hiller Park and hike or bike the paved Hammond Trail. Ditch your shoes and spend the day at Clam Beach (yup, there are clams out there for the digging) kayaking, paddleboarding or just relaxing among the dunes. There’s a course if you’re itching for a round of golf, and there’s even a sweet, little waterfall tucked along the road into town. Already visited the world’s biggest ball of string? Swing by the world’s tallest totem pole. And on McKinleyville Arts Night, the third Friday of each month, you can tool around town and see what local artists, artisans and musicians young and old are up creating — maybe even take a piece home.

Home to Humboldt State University, Arcata is a magnet for arts, culture, entertainment and education. Hike the Arcata Community Forest or play among the big trees in Redwood Park. Cruise the plaza for Saturday's farmers market or a festival. Go from locavore to exotic in the restaurants and cafés. At night, the bars, theaters and restaurants are stages for live music for every taste — from big name performers to hometown legends. The music spills into the streets and shops and restaurants turn into galleries during Arts Arcata!, the second Friday of every month.

everything Modern Child for the

This place is full of stories. Once a raucous lumber town and fishing village, early Eureka bustled with saloons and brothels, along with a hardy mix of rugged entrepreneurs looking to settle the North Coast. Jack London himself is said to have taken a swing in a barroom brawl in Old Town. Today, the boats still bring crab and salmon to the docks, and historic buildings at the edge of Humboldt Bay form a walkable enclave of places to browse, drink and dine. Slow down with a stroll along the waterfront trail or lean on the railing of the Old Town boardwalk and watch the boats go by. And don’t miss Arts! Alive, the first Saturday night of each month, when the streets fill up with folks touring the shops, restaurants and galleries for local art and live music.

Ferndale There’s a reason Hollywood keeps coming to film in Ferndale. It’s an idyllic American small town that hasn’t lost its character. (You might recognize Main Street’s Victorian architecture from movies such as The Majestic and Outbreak.) Ferndale’s downtown offers plenty to explore, including artist galleries, old-fashioned shops, classic restaurants and the Ferndale Museum. Grab a coffee and window shop the vintage storefronts and take photos of the Gingerbread Mansion, or put on your hiking shoes and take in the view from the bluffs in Russ Park or Centerville Beach. Downtown or in the great outdoors, it’s a trip back in time.

R LE TO AT M

Whether it’s a gorgeous summer weekend or a wet, socked-in Tuesday afternoon, Humboldt County’s Avenue of the Giants doesn’t disappoint. Known by locals as “the Ave,” this 31-mile stretch was formerly part of U.S. Highway 101 until a more direct route was developed in 1960. As automobiles and logging trucks left to zip along the main highway, the Avenue of the Giants remained as a historic relic and a glimpse into slower and simpler times. The coastal redwoods that have grown quietly for centuries in this pocket of the world are as enormous and enchanting as you can imagine. The One Log House in Garberville lets visitors check out tree-house living in a 7-by-32-foot log chamber that once toured the country before retiring alongside 101. Farther down the Ave are short, well-marked loop trails suited even to the novice hiker. Or, you can stretch your legs in the forest at the F.K. Lane Grove on a 15-minute stroll under the dense redwood canopy. Bring extra layers to stay warm in the shade and leave Fido in the car — dogs are not allowed on trails. If your timetable allows for recreation and you come during summer, a splash in the Eel River will cool you down, as will the quaint shops and cafés dotting the road selling cold drinks and ice cream. Those hankering for more refined refreshments can taste local wines along the avenue; keep your eyes peeled for signs around Redway. Finally, if your visit isn’t complete without navigating your car through a tree, stay alert around Myers Flat and you’ll pay a small fee for the bragging rights. The Ave offers visitors a chooseyour-own-adventure experience — any drive along the road grants views of some of the region’s most beloved trees and is peppered with nostalgic gift shops and historic logging towns.

South of the Avenue of the Giants lies Garberville, where you can escape the coastal fog, enjoy warmer temperatures and hit the farmers market for a treat. The little town has a surprisingly robust nightlife scene and a wild and beautiful landscape of hills and forest that you can sample in Tooby Memorial Park. Check the calendar and see what’s playing at the Mateel Community Center in neighboring Redway — the venue regularly brings in major musical acts and puts on some of Humboldt’s biggest festivals, including Reggae on the River.

Aptly named the “lost coast,” Shelter Cove is nestled in a stretch of beach that offers a natural retreat tucked away in its own world. Accessible by sea and air, the town has one road in and one road out. Once there, enjoy fishing, hiking, boating, golf, excellent lodging and camping options. Settle in for winter storm watching, whale watching or a hike along a unique, 24-mile stretch of black sand beach. A natural coastline unfettered by highways and the normal coming and goings of humanity make Shelter Cove a singular American destination.
