One of the original pieces of public art to be placed in the City of Eureka is The Fisherman, a sculpture on Woodley Island at Humboldt Bay. This Fishermans Memorial was created by renowned artist Dick Crane, and sponsored through community donations by the Commercial Fishermens Wives of Humboldt. It was dedicated in 1981. Part of Humboldt Arts Councils permanent collection, they are the caretakers of the statue. Its location and size make it easily seen from the Waterfront Boardwalk in Old Town Eureka. The sculpture commemorates the mariners who have lost their lives at sea, honoring those whom the sea sustained...and those it claimed.

The Folk Art of Romano Gabrielby Athena Koumis

The Wooden Sculpture Garden of Romano Gabriel is located at 315 Second St. in Old Town Eureka. Usually you can view this work of art through glass doors, but when the doors are open, a couple times a year during First Saturday Night Arts Alive!, you can truly appreciate the intricate workmanship Gabriel put into each and every piece. photos by Denise Comiskey

I

t is said that Italian immigrant and folk artist Romano Gabriel once expressed Eureka, California, was a bad place for flowers. As a carpenter and gardener with strong connections to his homeland, culture and various social and political issues, Gabriel viewed the front lawn of his home on Pine St. in Eureka with a distinct and unique vision. He saw this traditionally designated space for pleasantries such as flowers as an environment not only serving as a greeting area for the eyes, but also as a space to display art objects exposing the inner workings of his imaginative and personal world. Gabriel found that forgoing a typical social life and living a largely introverted lifestyle as beneficial to his craft, providing him with solitude and concentration for his art making. The resulting three decades of devotion to his creative vision led to a fantastic collection of hundreds of wooden human and animal figures within a highly complex and ornate sculptural environment, now known as the Sculpture Garden of Romano Gabriel. Gabriels beginnings in the United States date back to 1913 when the artist left his homeland of Mura, Italy, at the age of 26 and headed to America in search of a new life and opportunities. After serving in World War II, Gabriel settled in Eureka on Pine St. in a home which he had built himself. He lived what neighbors and community members characterized as a largely introverted life, working as

a carpenter and gardener, but keeping mostly to himself. At the age of 50, Gabriel felt compelled to create sculptural forms out of wooden vegetable crates to fill the void not only on his lawn, but also in himself. This void resulted from his increasing dissatisfaction in living what most would call an ordinary or normal life as prescribed by American social scripts and ideals. Gabriel harnessed his knowledge of hand tools from furniture and house construction with his creative energy to fill his 30 foot by 60 foot front lawn with a multitude of brightly painted sculptural figures and forms made from wooden crate materials. Gabriels work is distinguishable both by its quantity and quality, not to mention his persistent dedication to his craft. At the age of 80, the artist put the final touches to his work, and by this time the sculptural garden had become a tourist attraction, garnering national and international attention. In 1967, the artist passed away and the California Arts Council immediately designated the sculptural garden as an important piece of folk art. The Romano Gabriel Sculpture Garden in its current preserved state at 315 Second St. in Old Town Eureka is made possible through the efforts of the Vellutini Family, individual donations, the Eureka Heritage Society, the City of Eureka, and by a grant from the Humboldt Area Foundation. www.eurekaheritage.org

Gabriels Garden Premieres June 2011In 2010, North Coast Dance received a $25,000 grant from The James Irvine Foundation to create a dance/theater piece based on the life and work of internationally recognized Eureka folk art sculpture artist Romano Gabriel. The production is titled, Gabriels Garden, and will premiere June 2011. Gabriels Garden will bring these sculptures to life. North Coast Dance will be working with the Humboldt Arts Council and Eureka Heritage Society to mount a simultaneous exhibition of Romano Gabriels work at the Morris Graves Museum of Art in Eureka. North Coast Dance is a non-profit organization devoted to the promotion and development of dance in the North Coast community, and presents performances in cooperation with Eurekas Arkley Center for the Performing Arts.

The Eureka SymphonyDelighting Audiences on the North Coast for Nearly 20 Yearsby Mary Smith

S

ince its beginning in 1992, this all-community orchestra has grown to presently include 74 members. Members are comprised of Humboldt County natives and others who have moved here from all over the country. Some of the musicians are professionals who earn their living composing, playing or conducting. Others are neighbors who are dedicated to bringing music into their homes and communities. Over half of the members live outside Eureka, travelling to rehearsals and performances from Willow Creek, Miranda, Whitethorn, Salmon Creek, Redway, Hydesville and Trinidad. From 1992 to 2006, the Eureka Symphony performed in various venues, including a church sanctuary and high school auditoriums. In 2007, the Eureka Symphony took its place as a community partner with the Arkley Center for the Performing Arts. Having a permanent, stable home in this world-class venue has been a key factor in the organizations growth. The high quality and caliber of participating musicians can also be attributed to Carol Jacobson. Since 2003 Jacobson has been the Musical Director and Conductor of the Eureka Symphony. She brings extraordinary talent and vast musical experience to the organization. An accomplished cellist, Jacobson earned her bachelors degree at Humboldt State University, with further studies at the Salzburg Mozarteum, The Royal Danish Conservatory and the Netherlands Royal Conservatory in the Hague. Jacobson was a member of the Netherlands National Ballet Orchestra in Amsterdam, the Netherlands Radio Symphony, the Oslo Opera Orchestra, the Netherlands Strijkers Ensemble, and the North Coast Chamber Players. In the past, Jacobson was conductor of the Humboldt State University Orchestra and directed the Humboldt Music Academy for eight years. Currently, Jacobson teaches studio cello at Humboldt State University, is the Director of Orchestra and Choir at

Arcata High School and is principal cellist in the North State Symphony. Jacobson describes the Eureka Symphony as a live and vibrant organism with all different personalities coming together and melding. She pours over many scores and listens to a myriad of recordings to develop a diverse and interesting selection of music for each season. While receiving many Carol Jacobson suggestions as to which pieces the Eureka Conductor Symphony should perform, the final decision rests with her. Approximately three weeks before the first rehearsal, the music is sent out to all participants to begin their independent practices. Six weeks before performance, the group comes together for rehearsals.

Humboldt Botanical GardensGrowing Art from the Grassroots Level

Story and Photos courtesy of Humboldt Botanical Gardens Foundation

T

wenty years ago, a few enthusiastic dreamers believed our region needed a botanical garden. Today that dream is well on its way to fulfillment. While most botanical gardens are publicly funded or donated in a mature state to a botanical foundation or educational institution, the Humboldt Botanical Garden (HBG) is a grassroots garden grown through the generosity of our local community. Designed by renowned landscape architect, Ron Lutsko, the HBG is the only botanical garden in Humboldt, Del Norte and Trinity counties. The HBG is a place where families of all ages can relax and experience the wonders of nature. It is a work in progress on 44.5 acres with five major gardens and many trails completed. HBG is

but the native plantings also include the ethnobotany of many local plants. While the Lost Coast Brewery Native Plant Garden shows how native plants can be used in a landscape, the Wildberries Natural Riparian Area features the use of native plants in a coastal riparian wetland with a perennial stream running through it. Restoration of this area is an ongoing challenge to remove invasive plants and enhance the natural attributes of a riparian area. Willows, flowering currants (Ribes sanguneum), red alders and other natives reflect the natural diversity of our region. As you explore the garden, you can imagine what our area was like hundreds of years ago. Named after Larry Moss, one of the original visionaries behind the HBG, the Moss Family Temperate Woodland Garden features a range of plants from the temperate zones of our planet. With mild temperatures, wet winters and cool, dry summers, many plants flourish here that cannot thrive in most parts of the world. In the Moss Family Temperate Woodland Garden you will find many rhododendrons including examples from the Maddeniis family which are considered tender rhododendrons. Other plants found here are Himalayan blue poppy, magnolias, dogwoods, trilliums and a dove tree. The Wollemi Pine (Wollemia nobilis) resides in the Temperate Woodland Garden. Once thought to be extinct until its discovery in 1994 in Sydney Australias Blue mountains, the Wollemi Pine is one of the oldest and rarest of trees in existence.

The All Happy Now living sculpture

a safe place to explore and learn in an atmosphere where plants, nature and the environment can truly come alive. Besides their beauty, botanical gardens play a complex role and require more vigilance to maintain than the typical ornamental display garden. A botanical garden is a living museum typified by strict adherence to professional horticultural and ethical codes. The first completed garden to greet you as you enter HBG is the Dedekam Ornamental Terrace Garden. It is a showcase garden designed using a rainbow spectrum of colors moving from the bright reds to the cool blues and whites. The garden changes with the seasons using colorful perennials and shrubs to welcome visitors. Flanking the Ornamental Terrace Garden are a rose and a heather garden which mirror the rainbow effect of the main garden. The Lost Coast Brewery Native Plant Garden provides visitors with examples of how native plants can be aesthetically integrated and used to conserve resources as well as provide a beautiful landscape. The native plant garden consists of grasses, iris, shrubs and trees native to our region prior to October 12, 1492. The plants emphasize the Humboldt County region, but include plants in the range of the Rogue River in Oregon to the north shore of San Francisco Bay. Information about all plants in the garden is documented,

Peter Santinos All Happy Now sculpture is featured at the southern end of the garden. A 100 foot diameter earth and grass ziggurat composed of two slowly rising and expanding spiral ramps, All Happy Now is intended to be walked on in the manner of the meditation labyrinths found in churches and cathedrals. A living sculpture, All Happy Now is a hands on art piece for all ages to enjoy. Whether you just need a break from a hectic day, want to picnic with your family or need a safe place to hike, the HBG is a must destination. It is also a great place to get information on plants that grow in our climate and inspire you with new ideas to take home to your own yard. The Garden is located next to College of the Redwoods just south of Eureka. Take the north College of the Redwoods entrance and you will see signs leading you to the HBG. The Humboldt Botanical Garden is a member of the American Horticultural Society Reciprocal Admissions Program. It is open every Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and during the week by appointment. The garden is ADA compliant and an electric car is available for tours. Admission is $5 for nonmembers over the age of 12. Members and children are free. Call (707) 442-5139 or visit the web: www.hbgf.orgThe Palette / 17

Linda Wise: Redefining the Art of Reuseby Mary Smithphoto by Mary Smith

I

t has been said, One persons trash is another persons treasure This certainly holds true for artist, Linda Wise. She works . at Recology Humboldt County providing waste management for the city of Eureka. According to Wise, It takes a creative mind to work with waste. I cant look at this stuff without wanting to make something out of it. Best known locally for her sculptures made out of reused materials, including: tools, garbage truck parts and garbage bins. Wise donates, on average four pieces of art annually to the local community. Her most public sculpture in Eureka is Bucephalus, the dynamic horse sculpture located on the north-end of Eureka,

just off Fifth Street. She worked on the piece for months. The horse helped her work through her fathers death and the emotions that came with it. Art is healing. The piece just kept getting bigger and bigger, stated Wise. Ultimately, the piece needed a name. As luck would have it, she found a Breyer horse toy in the trash. The package containing the toy featured the horses name and history. That particular horse figure was named Bucephalus, after Alexander the Greats horse. The name fit perfectly. Wise grew up in an artistic family. Her father was an architect by profession and an excellent charcoalist and watercolorist. Her mother is an art collector. Both parents fostered her and her sisters artistic talents from an early age. The family spent many summers in Mendocino enjoying the abundant art community. Wise started working in clay with master potter, Sasha McCoffkin of the Mendocino Art Center, later studying oil painting at Lafayette Forge in Contra Costa County. She also worked for UC Berkeley and it was there that she started taking environmentally based classes. Wise moved to Humboldt County in the early 1990s to continue her education at Humboldt State University. She received her degree in fisheries with a masters in wastewater management. Working as a regulator and environmental health specialist led to a job in waste management. Wise is a member of Eureka Main Streets Public Art Committee. The committee worked with the Eureka Arts and Culture Commission and the City of Eureka to feature rotating artists and their sculpture at the C Street Market Square, a newly opened extension of Eurekas beautiful boardwalk. Wise hopes that neighbors and city governments throughout the area take notice and realize how important the arts are in our communities. Future plans for Linda Wise include continued work on her sculptures and a group show in Gualala in September, 2011 with

Multicultural Hot spot for Eclectic Art and Great Foodby Bill Prescott

courtesy of Los Bagels

tep into Los Bagels Bakery and Caf on Second Street in Old Town Eureka, and experience one of the great landmarks on the North Coast. Los Bagels is the multicultural hot spot for the region. Even before you taste the food, your eyes will feast on the eclectic mix of artwork adorning the walls. The Truchas Gallery is located within the caf. The name Truchas comes from the Spanish word trout. The Gallery was named not only for Los Bagels founder Dennis Raels fondness for fishing, but for the town of Truchas, New Mexico. Raels family has roots in this beautiful region of the Southwest, long before his grandparents migrated west to California. Featuring a rotating selection of the regions best artists, the exposed brick wall leaves plenty of room for large works and three dimensional displays. The other walls house a permanent collection, featuring a large three panel mural (at left) created by children at the Equinox School in Arcata. Above the deli area are a collection of large caricatures originally created for a Martin Luther King Jr. parade at the Trinidad courtesy of Los Bagels Town Hall. These images

represent Rosa Parks, Stevie Wonder, Mother Teresa, Frida Kahlo and Martin Luther King Jr., and capture the true multicultural essence of Los Bagels. Quietly hung out of harms way are two rare giclee prints by Robert Cassila. Cassila illustrated the bestselling childrens book, Jalapeno Bagels by Natasha Wing. This book is based on Los Bagels and founder Dennis Rael. Rael grew up with a Jewish mother and a Latino father, celebrating customs from both sides of his family. His multicultural upbringing in southern California inspired Rael to start Los Bagels over 26 years ago. Natasha Wings story is based on a boy named Pablo who cant decide what to bring to school for International Day. This book has been a best seller in childrens literature, and is currently required reading for many second graders across America. Signed copies of the book are available in the caf. Depending on the season, the caf may be adorned with a Day of the Dead ofrenda, a collection of Judaica from around the world, or even handmade tin hearts from Oaxaca, Mexico. The menu at Los Bagels is as diverse as the collection of artwork. Featuring the tastes of Mexico combined with traditional Jewish fare, Los Bagels offers boiled then baked bagels, along with a great selection of toppings, including smoked turkey, lox, hummus and a wide variety of spreads. In the pastry case find handmade croissants, rugalah, challah and a selection of muffins and cookies that is sure to please. Serving fresh seasonal local produce, gourmet coffee and espresso, Los Bagels will delight the most discriminating palette, yet is fun and family friendly. Los Bagels is perfect for breakfast, lunch or an afternoon treat. With locations at 403 2nd St. in Old Town Eureka and 1061 I St. in Arcata, Los Bagels is more than real bagelsit is an experience.

Humboldt BrewsExploring the Art of Beer and Food Pairingby Anthony Welch

umboldt Brews in Arcata is now offering a beer and food pairing event once a month to highlight the many ways of combining great food and unique microbrews. The events will feature live music, raffles, and a buffet in which flights of beer will be offered individually with food combinations to explore the many nuances of beer and food pairing. While wine has traditionally been thought of as the quintessential beverage for pairing with food, beer is quickly gaining an appreciation of its own. Beer, mainly made from water, malted barley, yeast and hops possesses a wide range of flavors, aromas and textures. This, along with added spices, nuts, chocolate, fruits and vegetables within the brewing process may make beer even more food friendly than wine. In coming up with the idea for these food and beer pairing events, Humboldt Brews owner Andy Ardell said, Most people only think of wine when you talk about food pairing. But beer has become much more popular recently and these beer and food pairing events are our attempt to try and educate the public about the many ways to combine and enjoy quality beer with good food. Humboldt County is fortunate enough to have some of the best microbreweries and most delicious local food in the country. Our award-winning breweries put out some of the most eclectic and tasty brews in the nation. In fact, Mad River Brewery in Blue Lake took home the Small Brewing Company Brewer of the Year award from the 2010 Great American Beer Festival. Compared to other regions, Humboldt offers a variety in beer that you just do not see very often, according to Colin Garon, bartender at Humboldt Brews. There is so much variation within each brew house that you could drink only local beers and not feel like you are drinking the same beer twice. With nearly 40 different beers produced by the five local breweries; Eel River, Lost Coast, Mad River, Redwood Curtain and Six Rivers (see list), there is a lot of good award-winning beer to choose from. This combined with food from any of the many farmers and artisan food producers we have in Humboldt is a definite recipe for enjoyment. Items such as produce from Warren Creek Farms, cheese from Cyprus Grove Chevre, beef from Humboldt Grassfed Beef, breads from Brio and the Northcoast Bakery, and chocolate from Venlo Chocolates, all make for interesting pairing opportunities. In the book The Brewmasters Table, Garrett Oliver says, No matter how complex or refined the dish, whether its foie gras or a simple sausage, there is a terrific beer out there that will provide a perfect accompaniment. If you love food, but you know only wine, then your trying to write a symphony using only half the notes and half the orchestra. The art of beer and food pairing is to basically take the character of the food (sweet, bitter, spicy, etc.) and either compliment or contrast it with a beers flavor profile. The key is to experiment in order to find what works. Beer has a wide diversity of styles and flavors offering great versatility when it comes to pairing. As with wine pairing, a lot really

H

depends on individual palettes. Prohibitions like the no-fish-withred-wine rule do not exist when pairing with beer. The main thing to remember is what are referred to as the three Cscompliment, contrast and cleanse. Compliment Beer complements food when its flavor profile matches up with certain flavors in food. Delicate dishes work best with delicate beers, and strongly flavored foods work best with assertive beers. For example the chocolate and coffee flavors of a stout draw out similar flavors in a chocolate dessert. Contrast Contrasting a beers flavors against a dish can be equally satisfying and often more memorable. This occurs when the differences in flavors between the beer and the food are accentuated. Often, this means pairing a light, subtle beer with an assertive, spicey type of food. Cleanse Most beers work well at cleansing the palate because they are carbonated. They are able to slice through the heat of spicy foods and similarly cleanse the palate of rich or heavy foods.
