The Haganses Paint a Beautiful Humboldt Life
By Meg Wall-Wild
Photos by Melissa Sanderson
Humboldt born Duane Hagans did what many a student has done. He picked up a paint brush to earn money while attending classes in Sacramento. Duane painted buildings inside and out, working hard to support his growing family. Duane had met his wife Jacquee at Eureka High School, a textbook meet-cute with actual textbooks. After leaving Sacramento, the Haganses returned to Humboldt to raise their children April and Sean. Here, Duane and Jacquee built a strong scaffolding to support their family.
Duane may have started small, but in 1975, he upsized his canvas to massive bulk tanks for what was then Standard Oil. You can see the expanse for yourself as the tanks are still behind Eureka’s Bayshore Mall. The man with a brush and a solid work ethic did not hold still for long. Hagans dabbled in commercial and residential painting until landing a job at a utility. He parlayed his wide range of experience into a contractor’s license in 1993. By 1994, he was working for himself and CDH Painting was open for business.
CDH Painting was a family business from the start. Duane’s wife and business co-owner Jacquee rolled up her sleeves and picked up a calculator serving as Chief Financial Officer. Daughter April has painted her own colorful life. She sang in the Eureka High School choir Limited Edition,
then went on tour with reggae/rock band Irie Rockerz. After exploring a life with a palette all its own, April found her path led back to Eureka and the family business.
“I’ve enjoyed working with paint for a long time. I love taking care of buildings and all the colors. Our area is really fun for that.”
If you think CDH Painting only paints the big picture, you’d be wrong. Their attention to a simple job, the smallest they have painted to date, meant it took longer to get the paint than to complete the job. A homeowner bought a new doghouse that was not the same color as their house. Duane jokes that they wanted to synchronize “so the dog would not feel left out,” pointing out a dog’s limited range of colors (blues, yellows, shades of gray). The matching paint made the dog’s humans happy. Duane and April were also happy to note that they have painted a big man and his blue bull: the Paul Bunyan and Babe statues that flank the Trees of Mystery in Klamath.
Later in 2025, Jacquee will be retiring from CDH Painting. The hardworking
business co-owner, mom and grandmother had already retired from the Eureka City Schools two years ago. In 35 years of public service, Jacquee wore many hats, including that of Senior Account Health Benefits Clerk. Duane and April are quick to sing her accolades as they enthuse over Jacquee’s contributions and celebrate her upcoming retirement. Retiring gives her more time to visit their son Sean, who traded the California Coastal Range for the Rockies, and grandchild Kaelin. “She has been the main CFO and bookkeeper since 1993. We are excited and happy for what she has done in the business and the community,” says Duane.
“She’s a high five!” adds April.
Duane’s retirement is another matter. He is candid about this generational transition. “As we progress and see how things are functioning, I will have the freedom to step aside and let April take over.” He happily relates how April helped him “move out of the stone age” when he let go of old school
April Hagans and her father Duane of CDH Painting.
marketing to join the digital revolution. “We have two different eras of how things can work. If I can put myself in old dog new tricks mode, it’s helpful for April to move forward. That is the fun part.”
Duane says, “It’s a process, honestly. I don’t know how to step away so I am figuring that out. We are learning what we can do together. I’m ecstatic to see progress without me on a daily basis, but it is still my voice from experience of doing this for more than 50 years. If I’m still healthy and my voice can be heard, I will work until I don’t want to or can’t.” Even after working his way through more than 100,000 gallons of paint (enough to cover more than 6 square miles) and the eggplant purple phase of the 1980s, Duane still has energy to spare.
My Humboldt life …
“…is community!”
—
Duane Hagans
April chimes in, “His expertise comes with experience, products changing, how they work. He can retire eventually but not anytime soon!” She cherishes their craft. “It’s important to have ‘old knowledge’ to make the colors, or how to handle the materials like old redwood so that information is not new to you. Learning to integrate. Everyone is learning new acts and gadgets, but tradition is also special. You can’t buy it off the counter.”
Duane and Jacquee’s grandchildren have now become adults themselves. CDH Painting is now three generations deep with the addition of team members Shara Jones (office) and Samahri Brice (marketing). Calvin Brice is still testing out what path he will paint. The transitional process is ongoing. Meanwhile, Duane is still
the lead vocal and keyboardist for the Soul Seekers, a band he established in the 1960s with his brother and some local lads. Samahri crafted a path similar to her mother’s by singing in Limited Edition. Maybe you remember her Sour Kangaroo from the 2022 Ferndale Repertory Theater’s Suessical the Musical? Calvin DJs, playing music on decks instead of painting them. Shara Culture is the lead vocalist for Irie Rockerz with her lead vocalist father Stevie, who also performs as the CDH handyman. April, retired from Irie Rockerz, keeps her musical muscles toned with the Redwood Interfaith Gospel Choir. It’s a family whose joy
comes out in the music they make in the redwoods.
Duane is quick to finish the sentence, “My Humboldt life is” with a hearty, “community!” He adds, “The very shop we are in right now, we have it because when I was 11 years old this is where I’d meet up with my friends to ride to Sequoia Park. It was Del Grande’s Electric then. Everything about this town is represented here, like baseball at Ross Field. All this has led to my desire to see Humboldt — and Eureka in particular — supported and encouraged. After seeing decline left and right, it makes me happy to see the resurgence. Support of local schools, teams, softball, Crabs, the Eagles — all

are part of my existence that I brought my kids up into. A fun part of life. I can see the Boys and Girls Club, which was a stomping ground growing up. I gave my first live performance there, in a Parks and Recreation skit,” he recalls. “Things like that are not just reminiscent. They are an important aspect of what makes CDH Painting Humboldt.”
April added, “He put it fabulously. To add would take away. My Humboldt life is blessed. But I like what Duane said!” If and when Duane retires, CDH Painting will be in good hands. You can ask April, the little girl who loved to help her dad peel off wallpaper (after being moved to the right wall). ■
The Evolution of Cap’s
Being plugged into Humboldt’s food scene comes with a lot of perks. You get the skinny on new restaurants opening, who’s cooking the latest Tiktok food trend and which chefs are collabing on fusion food you never knew you needed. With social media at the forefront of most of our lives, it’s easy to stay tuned in to your favorite chefs; everyone’s on Instagram and Facebook, posting their daily specials and where their booth will be at the next community festival. For me, the best perk is watching the evolution of a chef I love; how they shape and refine their menus, how they interact with their community and even how they grow as people.
A little over four years ago, I happened across the Cap’s To Go Facebook group. The pandemic had launched us into some weird times, and delivery services exploded in popularity. I missed eating out so much, I couldn’t stop myself from scouring the local community Facebook groups for anything comforting to replace the restaurants I loved which had closed their doors, unable or unwilling to pivot their business model from dine-in to takeout. Cap’s To Go was one such pivot; it was the second iteration of Michael “Cap” Campusano’s catering venture, similar-
ly dubbed Cap’s Catering. When public events came to a screeching halt and the catering business dried up, he banded together with his friends and started a delivery service to feed the isolated masses. The menu was nothing if not dynamic, ranging from loaded salads, to monster sliders, to piled high plates of pasta and quarts of homemade soup. Hearty barely begins to describe Cap’s portions. His food was, in a word, heavenly, at a time when food was a major comfort to us all.
Campusano had an early start in the industry as a teen. Starting as a dishwasher at the old Marie Calendar’s in Eureka, Campusano worked his way up to line cook and eventually lead cook and trainer, learning the ropes of a commercial kitchen before moving on to Lost Coast Brewery. “That was where I really blossomed and learned how to make things from scratch, and how to create menus on the fly [...] it’s where I fell in love with pub fare. You don’t have to hold back to be healthy; it’s colorful, fried, big and vibrant,” Campusano opines. When he was ready to try working for himself, that’s when he transitioned to Cap’s Catering and, eventually, Cap’s To Go.

Cap’s To Go exploded in no time. After selling out in two hours on his first day open, he increased production and his following grew. Each week we’d flock to Facebook to see the new menu and chat with Campusano, whose personality turned out to be as engaging as his food. What set him apart from the crowd was his personability, not only sending thanks to everyone who joyously posted photos of their orders, but his willingness to have an open dialogue about what worked and didn’t work for his menus. Seeing him incorporate direct feedback in real time was refreshing and novel; it was clear he had an impassioned drive to satisfy the customer and refine his skill at every opportunity. His success ultimately led to the opening of the current Cap’s iteration: Cap’s Food Shack.
Cap’s Food Shack, a shiny black food truck adorned with neon-colored shapes of food and its signature shamrock symbol that launched in summer of 2023, posts up at regular locations across Humboldt that rotate based on the day of the week. The menu is perfectly pared down to the most successful offerings based on Campusano’s direct approach to R&D with his customers. Their best seller is the Smokestack Sliders; three sizable charbroiled patties on toasted buns, with house-smoked cream cheese, crispy fried onion tanglers, a homemade jalapeno jelly, green onions, tomato, and a slather of homemade garlic aioli. His burgers are loaded, filling you up with a symphony of homemade flavors and textures, served with your choice of a side. According to customer Addie Segura-Dunaway, the fries are the closest thing you can get to the beloved fries from the now closed Mike’s Drive-Up in Eureka (you can order ‘em garlicky from
Cap’s for an extra buck!).

If you’re in the mood for pork, one of Campusano’s favorites are the smoked pulled pork tacos, with their unforgettable pops of bright color and flavor, perfect for lovers of sriracha and smokiness. Nestled into warm tortillas, pulled pork is topped with cabbage, cilantro, pineapple sauce, and Underwood Ranch sriracha. On the other end of the spectrum, Cap’s offers a vegetarian option that doesn’t skimp on size: the luscious basil portobello sandwich. Piled on a toasted brioche bun is a juicy grilled portobello cap smothered with mozzarella and feta, with standard onion, lettuce and tomato, finished with a decidedly non-standard homemade aioli bursting with an infusion of basil. Campusano calls it “a drippy good and handsome mess,” and recommends the non-vegetarians add bonus bacon. And this writer’s favorite? The fried frickin’ pickles (yes, that’s their official name). Broad, lengthwise slices of dill pickle, breaded, seasoned and fried to crispity perfection, dipped in the best damn jalapeno ranch. If you’re like me and not generally a fan of pickles or jalapenos, these might just change your mind.
Cap’s Food Shack can be found at Eureka’s Friday Night Market, at rotating locations around the county, and with a pared down festival menu at special events during summer. They have a new brick and mortar location at The Local cider bar in Arcata, similarly named Cap’s at The Local. Open on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, they feature a smaller menu with monthly specials, and an exclusive item to this location: the Caprese grilled cheese, best indulged with a frosty glass of cider. ■
Making the Cut
By Genevieve Schmidt
While most gardeners find themselves with numerous flowering shrubs to enjoy outside, flowers that last in a vase without exploding their petals all over the carpet or drooping dramatically hours after being cut are a somewhat rarer breed. Though tricks abound to extend the life of flowers in a vase, the most important element in a successful homegrown bouquet is selecting the right plant. Here are some favorites for every Humboldt garden.
Cutting flowers for the shade
While so many classic cut flowers require full sun, if you’re gardening in the shade of redwoods, don’t despair; you still have numerous options for a bouquet.
white ‘Deutschland’ offer many color options, and you can create an ombre effect in the vase by layering the different shades.
Hydrangeas of all kinds are a classic cut flower, blooming late summer through fall. You can even dry the blooms for vase fillers through the winter.
Bigleaf Hydrangeas are the most shade-tolerant in our climate, and for cutting gardens, I like to select recently-bred varieties that bloom on both new and old wood for the longest possible flowering season. The Endless Summer line have been particularly successful, with ball-shaped ‘Blushing Bride’ in white, ‘Summer Crush’ in vivid pink, and the ‘Endless Summer’ for that classic light blue shade.
Bridal wreath (Francoa ramosa) is an old-fashioned shade flower that takes even dry shade once established. It develops a wide tuft of foliage at the base, and sends up slender wands of airy white flowers that can be up to 3 feet tall. F. appendiculata is another option if you prefer pink blooms. A long summer bloom season and good vase life makes them a great partner to dramatic cut foliage or larger blooms. Astilbes bloom in late spring to early summer, and if treated kindly (spent flowers removed, watered regularly, and given good soil conditions), may rebloom again in mid-summer. They do well in bright shade, and are one of my favorite vase companions to old-fashioned David Austin roses. Lavender-pink ‘Amethyst’, reddish-pink ‘Fanal’, peachy ‘Europa’, and
Ferns are also a solid pick. Native deer fern (Struthiopteris spicant) is a petite fern which offers two leaf textures from its fertile and evergreen fronds. Holly fern (Cyrtomium falcatum) has dramatic spiky leaflets in a glossy lime-green color.
California native cutting flowers
Native buckwheat varieties like red buckwheat (Eriogonum grande var. rubescens), nude buckwheat (Eriogonum nudum), and coast buckwheat (Eriogonum latifolium) are all low-care, drought tolerant choices for the cutting garden. In shades from white to bright pink, these pollinator magnets are best planted in autumn to catch the winter rains, and left unwatered during our summer dry season. With loosely ball-shaped flowers on a long bare stem, they are ideal for vases.
Native yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is another long-last-
ing cut flower. With crisp white umbels reaching 3-4 inches across, this makes a dramatic addition to a bouquet. They do make the vase water murky overnight, so add a few drops of bleach to your vase water to counteract this. This is another drought-tolerant plant that will do well without summer water if established in autumn.
California poppies (Eschscholzia californica) are an unexpected addition to a vase. Our classic orange state flower is boldly beautiful, and there are also fun varieties such as ‘Apricot Chiffon’, ‘Thai Silk Fire’, and ‘Buttermilk’ to bring other colors into the mix. Cut the stem when the flowers are colored buds, and those flowers will open, last for 3-4 days, drop their petals, and the next round of buds on the stem will open, giving you a week-long show.
Classic flower garden picks
Peruvian lily (Alstroemeria) are sold commercially by florists and valued for their exceptionally long vase life. ‘Indian Summer’ is a well-behaved, midsized variety with bronze-colored foliage and cantaloupe-colored blooms. ‘Creamsicle’ has a gorgeous pinky-beige shade that reminds me of the recently popular ‘Café Au Lait’ Dahlia, yet it’s less of a snail magnet. ‘Margaret’ is a rich magenta that seems to play well with most other flower colors.
‘Caradonna’ meadow sage (Salvia nemorosa ‘Caradonna’) is a not only has gorgeous, spiky purple blooms, but the stems are a dramatic dark brown, making
it a modern-looking contrast to other cut flowers. It’s a little looser and taller than other meadow sage varieties, making it easy to cut long flower spikes. It’s also a bee magnet in the garden; they are frequently visited by our gentle native bumblebees.
David Austin roses are a great choice for roses in our climate. Bred in England where the climate is more similar to ours here in Humboldt, these have proven remarkably resilient. With most roses I try to veer towards those with fewer than 35 petals to avoid the flowers rotting on our overcast days, but with Austin roses, I find even those with somewhat fluffier flowers do beautifully. ‘Golden Celebration’ is strongly fragrant and has rich yellow blooms; ‘Desdemona’ is white with a pinkish hue, and has a fun cupped bloom shape; ‘Lady of Shalott’ is a true apricot with a gently spiced fragrance.

Western Heritage
You’d have to be living under a rock not to notice that western style has once again spiked in popularity. Western vibes are popping up in TV, movies, music and most noticeably in fashion.
For Lisa McBride, owner of Great Western Clothing, it’s not a fad however, it’s an actual lifestyle. One where a typical morning might include tracking down missing goats and reblanketing mischievous horses. After crossing the cattle guard and leaving her little chunk of paradise, McBride heads to the big boot on Broadway that marks the entrance to her Eureka store.
Great Western, has been a part of the Humboldt community for nearly 50 years. McBride bought it in 2019, after working there for a few years and falling in love with the customers. Traditionally the store’s customers have been ranchers, farmers and horse enthusiasts. “They’re my kind of people,” says McBride.
She and her late husband Jack, are part of a local timber and ranching family that has been in the area since the 1800’s, so it’s no wonder she feels at home in this environment.
The western frenzy means new customers all the time. McBride doesn’t mind the western craze at all, but finds it a little funny. “What they are now calling cowboy core is what we’ve always just called clothes!” she laughs. “Though I enjoy the fun trends,” says McBride, “cowboy boots, denim, and cowboy hats are still our bread and butter, and will forever be a cornerstone of our western heritage.”
Whether it’s literally your first rodeo or you’ve been to a couple hundred, Great Western is the place for authentic western gear and old fashioned customer service. You can find them on the south end of Broadway Eureka, right behind that big beautiful boot.

Restoring Legacy
College of the Redwoods faculty partner with Native artists and students to revive landmark sculpture
College of the Redwoods is proud to announce the restoration and reinstallation of Stand Our Ground Next Time, the iconic driftwood and found-object sculpture by renowned Karuk artist Brian D. Tripp (BDT), made possible through the support of a President’s Academic Innovation Grant.
Originally installed in the early 1990s, Tripp’s powerful sculpture stood as a cultural and artistic beacon behind the former Creative Arts building. With the recent move to the new Creative Arts Complex, an opportunity arose to honor BDT’s legacy through a collaborative, cross-generational restoration effort.
The grant proposal was authored by CR Art Department faculty member Shannon Sullivan, in consultation with Tripp’s family—artist Alme Allen and cultural leader Pimm Tripp-Allen. The project also involved collaboration with CR faculty emeritus
Robert Benson and instructors
Ben Funke (Art), Derek Glavich (Construction Technology), and Kyle Shamp (Welding).
The reinstallation process included in-class lectures by Alme and Pimm, who offered students personal and cultural insights into Tripp’s life and artistic vision. Students enrolled in Funke’s Three-Dimensional Design and Sculpture courses participated in hands-on restoration sessions, working directly alongside Tripp’s family to carefully restore the sculpture’s wooden elements.
The restored sculpture was unveiled at a public reception on May 1, 2025, in the Creative Arts Complex Promenade. The event celebrated BDT’s enduring impact. The reception was generously supported by the Native Cultures Fund.
“This project is more than a restoration—it’s a posthumous collaboration with artists who were both family and longtime creative companions of Tripp,”
said Shannon Sullivan. “It’s a living act of cultural continuity that unites education, community, and heritage in a way that makes art feel profoundly alive.”
The sculpture’s new home— within the rock garden of the Creative Arts Complex—ensures Stand Our Ground Next Time remains a visible and accessible centerpiece for gen-
erations of students, faculty, and community members. This initiative reflects College of the Redwoods’ ongoing commitment to experiential learning, offering students the chance to engage in meaningful, culturally grounded work while developing skills in collaboration, preservation, and public art. ■

Community Comes Together to Surpass Local Food Challenge
Afundraising challenge launched by two friends of Food for People in response to federal funding cuts has raised more than double the original goal.
Supporters from all over Humboldt County and as far away as Plano, Texas and Seattle, Washington gave a combined $128,500 to the Farmers Fund Challenge including a last-minute contribution of $55,000 from one donor! Combined with the matching funds Food for People has $182,000 to purchase produce from local farmers.
Food for People supporters Melanie Williams and Barbara Goldberg were moved to create the $50,000 challenge after hearing local news about
the elimination of the USDA’s Local Food Purchase Assistance (LFPA) cooperative agreement. The federal program provided the food bank about $360,000 per year over the last three years to buy locally grown food from small farmers and other producers.
“The unexpected cut to LFPA was a huge blow for us, and it is harmful for the entire farming community too,” says Carly Robbins, Food for People’s Executive Director. “Many local farms had already planned their growing season around the funds we were contracted to spend, some already have crops in the ground.” Robbins says the overwhelming response from the community will allow Food for People to keep local produce in its pantries and child and senior nutrition programs, although less than under the USDA program.
Locally Delicious Farmers Fund was created in 2010 by a group called The Heirloom Tomatoes. The fund supports purchasing from local farms and producers and giving people who use Food for People’s programs access to more local foods. Today, the fund is managed by Food for People, specifically for the purchase of locally grown and produced foods.
Last year, the food bank purchased nearly 90,000 pounds of local produce through the LFPA program that equated to nearly $300,000 in local spending. The
More information about where to find a food pantry in your area and other food distributions or how to support Food for People’s programs as a financial supporter, business sponsor, volunteer or advocate can be found at foodforpeople.org.
Food for People, the food bank for Humboldt County, distributed 2.4 million pounds of food last year, and its services reach more than 21,000 people monthly. Food for People’s 18 programs include a countywide network of emergency food pantries, food distribution programs for children, seniors and homebound individuals, nutrition education and outreach activities, local food recovery, gleaning and disaster relief, as well as many partnerships throughout the community.
