Deer Skull Yes, Yes We Do Editor: Does the NCJ ever print a letter that isn’t anti-Trump, demonizing Republicans, stereotyping those with opposing views, mocking the “Christian God,” against any growth, not questioning climate change and blaming the white race for most evils since the dawn of time?

You know, about 40 percent of Humboldt doesn’t march to the beat of your drum. I know all too well how it is to be a minority but your biased writings are ridiculous. There are two sides to every topic and story, but the Journal seems to deny its readers that privilege. If you aren’t going to give all sides a fair platform, just be honest and state it so we all know what to expect. Everyone knew where Pravda stood.

I am a dark Hispanic man who is registered as an Independent. But as I read the NCJ, I am lost in a maze of leftist dogma that is unchallenged week after week. We are told that those who doubt “climate change/ global warming” are flat earthers who don’t believe in science. But if one says there are two biological sexes according to science, they are mocked and called silly names.

Can’t have it both ways, gotta’ be fair if you want any credibility. Any periodical that is slanted left or right is good for wrapping fish and not much more. How about offering writings that challenge thought instead of reaffirming one’s prejudice?

Assume your readers are not idiots and want to get all information and then decide for themselves. You know, like they do in free nations with a free and honest press.

We mark graves for ourselves Not for distant arrivals But for our own returns When we place a stone We don’t believe its weight will ever lift But it does What still hurts now seems to bear some load Each grief is a member That vaults the sky This old skull Is going somewhere I’ll never follow.

— Monte Merrick

So to ask, to whom was he beholden, seems a reasonable inference. Virginia Bass had the decency to change her vote when the outcome was obvious. Rex should have done the same. I’d also like to add that this current supervisor of ours (allegedly) made an inappropriate comment about a group of Humboldt citizens. We don’t need that. My vote goes to Cliff Berkowitz. Muchas Gracias.

Carol Michael, Fields Landing Editor: When it comes to being clueless, the incumbent First District candidate takes the cake. If it’s not voting for the Terra-Gen project, it’s making racist comments. It’s backing a bad public defender until it cost $25,000 to get rid of him. It’s backing bad ideas, such as building a liquid natural gas terminal or a $10 billion East-West rail-line. It’s ignoring Humboldt County Fair Association’s violations of the Brown Act. It’s responding to whistle blower Karen Paz Dominguez, who alerted the board to problems with the Auditor-Controller Department, by saying, “If my number two [employee] came to a meeting and made statements like she made … I think I would of shit myself.” It’s claiming

credit for Redwood Fields in Cutten when it was former Supervisor Stan Dixon who did the heavy lifting.

The best call? Get rid of him. Support Cliff Berkowitz for First District supervisor.

David Holper, Eureka Editor: I am in whole-hearted support of Sean DeVries for Second District supervisor. He is the only one not taking corporate contributions. That should give you a clue that he will work very well with the progressive and the liberal now on the Board. This should end Humboldt County’s regressive incarnation as the Deep North.

The Second District incumbent Estelle Fennel is remarkably seeking a third term.

Longevity is not a virtue in this case but, excepting DeVries, it is apparently a shared value by all the other competing candidates who publically pride themselves on being here forever! Though in Fennel’s case, forever seems to indicate being in office that long.

Dispelling Misconceptions Ahead of Voter Registration Deadline

W

ith the deadline to register in the March 3 primary election fast approaching, Vernon Price wants to make sure citizens — especially those in under-served populations like the homeless — know their voting rights.

“It’s important for [homeless people] to go out and vote,” Price, an advocate for the local homeless community who himself was homeless for 15 years, says.

“It’s essential to produce positive and constructive change. If we want local policy change, we must go out and vote.”

Price says that it’s crucial for homeless voices to be heard at the ballot box, especially if they want to see changes that benefit them. After all, it’s local officials like city council members and county supervisors who are responsible for making decisions that affect the homeless community, whether it be allocating funding or approving a sanctioned camping area.

Price says he spent the first eight of his 15 years experiencing homelessness not knowing that he still had the right to vote. He says some homeless people don’t know they have the right to cast a ballot even if they don’t have a permanent place of residence, so they don’t vote.

Any U.S. citizen 18 years or older can register to vote, which includes people living without a fixed address. People don’t need a building address to register, Humboldt County Registrar of Voters Kelly Sanders says, just a cross street or perhaps the address of a park. They’ll also need a mailing address, Sanders says, but they can use any address at which they have permission to receive mail, like a family member’s house, a shelter, a P.O. box or even general delivery at the post office. Sanders adds that mailing addresses are only used to send vote-by-mail ballots, voter information booklets and voter information cards.

Inked

If a voter’s address changed and mail is returned to the elections office, their name will appear as inactive on the voting roster at their polling place on Election Day Sanders says, adding that if their address has indeed changed, they will need to re-register to vote but can vote with a provisional ballot. If their mailing address hasn’t changed, they can vote with a precinct ballot.

Local homeless shelters often provide mail services to clients, including Arcata House Partnership and the Betty Kwan Chinn Day Center, which also helps clients register to vote through the online voter registration.

When you register to vote, you are assigned a polling place (you can also check where your assigned polling place is located at www.vote411.org) where you physically go to vote.

But it can be difficult for people without reliable transportation to get to their polling precinct. Sanders says that if people cannot reach their assigned polling place on Election Day, they can go to a different polling location and cast a provisional ballot to vote. The difference between precinct ballots and provisional ballots is that provisional ballots go through extra steps of verification before they are counted. Elections office workers have to verify that voters casting a provisional ballot did not vote in another precinct or vote in any contests they weren’t eligible to vote in. For example, if a voter lives in the First District they can only vote for the First District Board of Supervisor candidates. This verification process happens during the 30-day audit after the election.

This year, the state of California has enacted Conditional Voter Registration (also called same-day registration) which acts as a “voter safety net” for California voters who miss the registration deadline, have

changed their address or party affiliations.

People who use Conditional Voter Registration will receive a conditional ballot that will be verified through the elections office post-election audit.

(If you miss the deadline to register to vote, you can register to vote online or at the Humboldt County Elections office, 2426 Sixth St. in Eureka before March 3.)

However, Sanders stressed the importance of registering to vote before the Feb. 18 deadline.

“Registering to vote before the deadline gives you more options,” she says. “If you wait, you can still register on Election Day but be prepared to wait in long lines.”

Another widely held misconception is that a past felony conviction makes citizens ineligible to vote. In 2018, Price held a voter registration drive specifically focused on educating people with criminal records about their voting rights.

“My voter registration drive focused more so on the misconception and misinformation of voting rights for people with a criminal record,” he says. “A lot of times, people who are homeless have a criminal record and they often think, ‘Because I have a felony, I can’t vote.’ But that’s not the case.”

In California, people who are currently in state or federal prison, currently serving a felony sentence or are on active

parole cannot register to vote. However, if someone is in county jail, on probation, on mandatory supervision, post-release community supervision, on federal supervised release or is a person with a juvenile wardship adjudication, they can register and cast a ballot.

People who have served their sentences can restore their right to vote online or at an elections office.

Price emphasizes the importance of voting for all under served groups, especially the homeless.

“We elect these officials for better services, for a better quality of life,” he says. “Everyone needs to take advantage of the opportunity and the right to vote.

We can’t complain if we don’t exercise that right.”

The Humboldt County Elections Office, located 2426 Sixth St. in Eureka, will be extending its hours on the Feb. 18 registration deadline. The office will be open from 8 a.m to 6:30 p.m. and during lunch. For those who miss the deadline but would like to vote a conditional ballot, the elections office will be open Saturday, Feb. 29, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., as well.

This is also the first year that vote-bymail ballots have prepaid postage stamps, Sanders says, so there’s no need to buy any stamps to vote. POSTED 02.11.20 — Iridian Casarez

Pete’s Pot Flop

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

F

or a brief, contentious moment, cannabis took center stage at the Feb. 7 Democratic presidential debate in New Hampshire when mayor-turned-maybekind-sorta frontrunner Pete Buttigieg was pressed about disproportionate drug arrest rates for black residents during his tenure in South Bend, Indiana.

“Mayor Buttigieg, under your leadership as mayor, a black resident in South Bend, Indiana, was four times more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession than a white resident,” began moderator and ABC News correspondent Linsey Davis. “And that disparity increased in South Bend after you took office. When talking about the problem in national terms, you’ve called it ‘evidence of systemic racism.’

But you were mayor for eight years, so weren’t you, in effect, the head of the system? And how do you explain that increase in black arrests under your leadership?”

Buttigieg initially deflected, saying that the “reality is” that under his watch drug arrests in South Bend were lower than the national average, which, of course, doesn’t address the disproportionate rate at which black residents were arrested for cannabis possession. He then went on to reiterate that “systemic racism has penetrated to every level of our system” and that his city was “not immune,” before touting his plans to “take up reforms that end incarceration as a response to possession” and expunge records of those with past convictions.

Davis then redirected him to her question, which was about the racial disparity in arrests during his tenure in South Bend.

“And again, the overall rate was lower …”

Buttigieg again asserted, appearing to offer that as a counterpoint, as if the fact that fewer people were affected overall made up for the disproportionate impact on black residents.

Davis pressed again, to which Buttigieg explained that one of the strategies his police department adopted was to target drug enforcement where there “was gun violence and gang violence, which was slaughtering so many in our community, burying teenagers, disproportionately black teenagers. ... These things are all connected.”

It’s no secret that — at least according to the polls — people of color have been leery of Mayor Pete. A Quinnipiac University poll published Feb. 10 found he garnered only 4 percent support among black Democrats, adding to a growing trend of polling data. And while Buttigieg has said that’s because voters of color are “laser-focused” on beating Trump in November and just aren’t yet convinced he’s a viable candidate, his debate answers hint at a much deeper issue.

There are plenty of ways Buttigieg could have responded to what appears to be a very

valid question that essentially asked him to address why, despite the progressive campaign talk, his police department appears to have disproportionately targeted black residents for marijuana enforcement. He could have said eight years was simply not enough time to strip the department of the institutionalized societal bias and racism that accumulated over the course of centuries. He could have noted that state and federal laws that criminalize widespread conduct are rife for biased enforcement. He could have talked about how mayors of smallish cities have limited power, which is why he’s running for president.

Instead, he chose to say, in essence, that the situation wasn’t that bad because fewer white people were impacted. Then, when pressed, he intoned that black people arrested under his watch for simple possession charges were really involved with violent, murderous gangs. It’s a tired trope and a pretty good reminder of how communities of color have disproportionately felt the brunt — and the stigma — of the war on drugs. l Colorado State University, meanwhile, just claimed Humboldt State University’s arguable birthright as the first college in the United States to offer a major in cannabis.

State officials approved on Feb. 7 a bachelor of science degree program in Cannabis Biology and Chemistry as “a pro-active response to a rapidly changing national scene regarding the cannabis plant.” l Lost in much of the rightful handwringing that came Feb. 10 when President Donald Trump proposed a $4.8 trillion national budget that would increase the national debt while enacting some $300 billion in cuts to safety net programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, was a proposal to end existing protections for state medical cannabis programs.

Since 2014, all federal appropriations legislation has contained a rider preventing the Department of Justice from using its funds to prevent states from “implementing their own laws that authorize the use, distribution, possession or cultivation of medical marijuana.”

Like the rest of Trump’s budget proposal, Congress is likely to round-file this one with little discussion. But it is something to keep in mind the next time you hear the president talking about how he believes in medical cannabis or supports states’ rights. Because, you know, he lies. l

ON THE COVER

The Fighting First Two vie to represent Humboldt’s First District

By Kimberly Wear

T

wo-term incumbent Rex Bohn and radio personality Cliff Berkowitz, who cofounded Lost Coast Communications, are vying to represent the First District in this year’s March 3 primary election.

Encompassing a sprawling area that stretches from the far reaches of Shelter Cove to the more urban neighborhoods of Cutten, the First District hasn’t seen a contested race since 2012, when Bohn beat Wiyot tribal elder Cheryl A. Seidner and retired teacher Annette De Modena in a three-way contest for the seat being vacated by the retiring Jimmy Smith.

With Election Day just around the corner, the Journal recently interviewed Berkowitz and Bohn, asking each the same four questions on issues affecting the region: infrastructure and road maintenance, homelessness, climate change in the aftermath of the denial of Terra-Gen’s Humboldt Wind Energy Project and the economy — especially amid the cannabis industry’s transition into the legal market.

Read the candidate’s abridged responses on those topics below, as well as their answers to a questionnaire canvassing everything from their favorite movie to the reasons why they see themselves as the best candidate for the job.

NCJ: With the county facing a budget deficit projected to reach $20.5 million by the end of fiscal year 2023, how can the county address road and infrastructure maintenance issues that can be especially acute in the far-flung areas of Humboldt?

BERKOWITZ: Noting the budget is always a “big issue,” Berkowitz says the situation has not been helped by a series of “poor personnel decisions” that have resulted in hits to the county’s coffers. As examples, Berkowitz pointed to the $25,000 payout to former Public Defender David Marcus, whose credentials were the subject of a lawsuit before his resignation, and how County Counsel Jeffrey Blanck continues to draw his nearly $200,000 annual salary while on paid leave for nearly a year.

“That alone is an enormous amount of waste,” Berkowitz says, adding that “Job One of a supervisor is making good person-

10

nel decisions” and the board needs to do a better job “vetting the people we hire.”

That said, Berkowitz says the county needs to develop a comprehensive repair and maintenance plan rather than continue the current course of short-term fixes, like hot patching, which leaves a “net result of road conditions continuing to deteriorate.”

BOHN: The incumbent says the county is digging itself out of the deferred maintenance rut left by the recession — a situation compounded by the halving of its road crew staff and equipment barn locations over the last two decades or so.

Bohn says “the good news” is the road budget has increased every year since he’s held office and the sales tax income from Measure Z (later Measure O) “has also been a benefit.”

Funds from Senate Bill 1 (a $54 billion legislative package to fix roads, freeways and bridges over the next decade) are also coming online for the first full year, Bohn says, which will boost the county roads budget by about 25 percent.

“Infrastructure is a big, big deal, especially with the storms we’ve had the last couple of years,” Bohn says, adding the county has been successful in applying for FEMA funds and is looking at options like using contractors in far-flung areas to cut down on the daily set up/take down time and move projects along more quickly.

NCJ: What can the county government do to promote economic growth and — with the stress and pressure the local cannabis industry is going through — what can/should county government do to bring producers into compliance, support those who are already in the process and crack down on those who are not?

BERKOWITZ: He says the county “really needs to focus on the local small businesses, which are the backbone of the local economy and always have been,” rather than the “big, flashy corporation to save us all,” which he charges is what Bohn seems to be looking for.

Berkowitz says he’s not against welcoming new industries or companies, emphasizing the possibilities of green energy, to the Humboldt table, but adds it’s “absolutely

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Feb. 13, 2020 • northcoastjournal.com

critical that they belong in the area, that they comply with environmental law and that they comply with what makes Humboldt County Humboldt County.”

Saying he understands the hurdles involved in starting a new business, Berkowitz believes the county should look at hiring a small business ombudsperson to help prospective owners “navigate all the hoops and regulations,” noting it can be “very daunting.”

That office could also serve as a sort of “help line” to answer questions about issues like financing or employment law, he says.

On the cannabis front, Berkowitz says, “we need to completely retool the process” and start regulating cannabis from an “agricultural standpoint.”

He says that it is “nearly impossible” for smaller operations to come into compliance under the current system and the county needs to look at possible lifelines for Humboldt farmers growing a crop with a reputation for quality decades in the making, perhaps creating a separate ombudsperson position just for the cannabis industry.

He says the county needs to look at options, like giving farmers permits on the front end and allowing them one to two years to come into compliance.

“That way they are not cash poor and they can do the right thing,” Berkowitz says.

BOHN: Noting that he has always said, “We need to let people know that Humboldt County is open for business,” Bohn points to the hiring of an economic development director, who he says was responsible for bringing Nordic Aquafarms to town and works to help those types of proposals through the permitting process.

“Obviously, it has to be the right business,” Bohn says, adding that he means one that is “environmentally friendly, good to the community and, hopefully, pays a lot of taxes and high wages.”

He notes that Humboldt not only has land but the benefit of two “high-caliber” higher education institutions in Humboldt State University and College of the Redwoods ready and able to produce a skilled workforce.

Bohn says the “cannabis industry is an important part of the community” and the county’s Planning and Building Department is “always looking for ways to streamline the process or make it less stressful.”

He points to the county’s efforts to bolster the industry via Project Trellis, which works on branding and marketing, as well as providing loans to help farmers come into regulatory compliance since they “have no opportunity to borrow money from a bank.”

“The great thing Humboldt County does

is work with different trade organizations in the industry to make this industry into a tax paying, legal business,” Bohn says, adding the county has also aided the ability of smaller farmers to form cooperatives for processing, tracking and transporting their products.

“The quote I hear most often is, ‘It’s hard to put a price on your peace of mind,’” Bohn says. “Going into the legal market will give you peace of mind.”

NCJ: What should the county do to address the effects of climate change, especially following the denial of Terra-Gen’s Humboldt Wind Energy Project (a wind farm proposed for the hills above Rio Dell and Scotia), which showed divisions in the region on the issue?

BERKOWITZ: Most Humboldt County residents recognize the threat of climate change, Berkowitz says, adding that he also knows there are those who don’t believe the dire warnings, pointing to a county planning commissioner appointed by Bohn who Berkowitz describes as “a known climate denier, which is kind of amazing.”

As far as Terra-Gen goes, Berkowitz says it was disappointing to see how the project “pitted environmentalists against each other because we are in a climate crisis … but you can’t trade one environmental disaster for another.”

“Not all green projects are the same and this one was an environmental disaster,” he says, adding the “topper was the Wiyot Nation saying it was on sacred ground.”

“That should be a no-go,” Berkowitz says, adding that “most countries that use wind power are doing so offshore and are doing so successfully.”

He says he’d like to look at projects like salt marsh restoration, which is “inexpensive and very effective” in combating issues like washover, especially with Humboldt Bay sinking and sea level rise happening faster than originally anticipated.

Noting the North Coast has been dubbed a “ground zero” for the crisis, Berkowitz says he believes the county needs to start coming up with a blueprint for how to address impacts of climate change.

That will put the county in a prime position to vie for available federal or state funds, he says, adding that he’s learned from his time working on promoting regional trail systems that “if you have shovel-ready projects, you get funding.”

“We need to start a long-term plan,” he says.

BOHN: As far as the Terra-Gen project (which he voted to approve), Bohn says in retrospect, “Maybe I thought this was a project that would work now and was privately funded.

“Terra-Gen is gone. Terra-Gen came

and they went through process,” he continues, noting some people feel it went too quickly, but he thinks the county building and planning department did its job.

“The process, I feel, worked because they are not here.

The people spoke and it’s not here.”

While the wind farm might have been a project that could help move the county away from fossil fuel, the community needs to talk about sea level rise and climate change for the county’s future, Bohn says.

“I think the seriousness of the issue right now needs to be addressed and a big part of that is education,” he says, noting the vulnerability of the area’s dikes and sea walls. “So, I certainly hope the Coastal Commission will realize the situation and can react as fast as I believe the citizens of Humboldt County are going to develop a plan.”

(When asked, Bohn says he believes his planning commission appointee, Alan Bongio, has been “very balanced” in his decisions and that he has not personally heard him make comments about climate change.)

Whether the county looks to microgrids, solar, wind power at another location, wave power, or some combination thereof, Bohn says there needs to be collaboration to move forward.

He notes the county is forming a Climate Advisory Committee and he has possible nominees already in mind: David Simpson and Jane Lapiner of Petrolia, who have attended the United Nations climate conferences.

“There are a lot of avenues out there that might help but with that we also have to find a way to fund it, and with that working with the community and the environment to have as little impact as possible,” Bohn says. “I look forward to that venture.”

NCJ: Homelessness is a nationwide problem but also an acute one in Humboldt County. What steps can county government take to address this issue?

BERKOWITZ: One of the first ways to address homelessness is moving toward a “Housing First” model, Berkowitz says, noting he is a big supporter of the concept and believes it pays dividends across the board.

The idea, he says, is simple: Get people into housing as quickly as possible while connecting them with the services they need, laying the groundwork for a successful transition. (The board of supervisors voted to adopt the strategy back in 2016.)

“Having access to a shower, having an address, means, at that point, you can start looking for a job and moving out of this,” Berkowitz says. “It’s been shown to be very successful.”

The supervisors, Berkowitz says, have the ability to say, “We are in a crisis” and take action to respond, for example, by creating a tiny housing village to quickly move people off the streets, noting the county has available land.

“This is an investment in the community as a whole because it actually costs less to do this than to be reactive in dealing with the problems that can occur when people are camping illegally, being arrested, causing problems, theft,” Berkowitz says. “It’s a benefit to the entire community, not just the ones we are helping.”

million in United States Department of Housing and Urban Development funding, which he said resulted in an almost 42-percent decline in admissions to Sempervirens, the county’s only mental health hospital.

And, he says, a 140-unit complex for veterans is in the works.

Bohn says his “longstanding work” with local philanthropist Betty Chinn, who has spent decades dedicated to helping Humboldt’s homeless, has helped him better understand the issue.

He sees great potential in using motels for transitional housing opportunities in the region, saying they work well on a number of levels, including being able to provide onsite assistance.

“The big issue is trying to get roofs over as many heads as possible and then provide those services,” Bohn says.

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Feb. 13, 2020 • northcoastjournal.com

What are the two biggest challenges facing the First District and what are your plans to address them?

Roads and infrastructure, and dealing with sea level rise due to the climate crisis.

Our roads are being managed in a continuous state of crisis management, patching potholes when people complain and doing so with an inferior “cold patch” that only lasts a rainstorm or two before needing to be patched again. This is a huge waste of money because it is not effective. We need long-term road maintenance plan, where we actually properly repair the roads over time. Finding the funds won’t be easy, but we can start by cutting down on the enor-

mous amount of waste by making flawed personnel decisions. We also need to stop diverting millions of dollars that could be spent on our roads to new projects. Next, sea level rise is already affecting our coast and low-lying areas. We must act now to adapt these vulnerable places. Next, we need to begin long-term planning for 10 and 20 years down the road. These fixes will be expensive, the state and federal government will need to help with that.

Communities that have “shovel ready” projects when the time comes will get the funding.

What is county government’s largest flaw in responding to residents’ needs and how do you plan to fix it?

One of the biggest issues facing this and other counties is the homeless issue. We can’t just clean up an area and think the problem will go away. I am a big believer in the “Housing First” approach to dealing with homelessness. Getting people off the street and into shelter first, then dealing with their underlying issues has proven to work in many places. Pasadena in Southern California has had good success, as has Utah, where they saw over a 90 percent reduction in homelessness. Once people have a roof over their heads, they then can access the services they need. We are doing this on a small scale now with the work of Betty Chin, Sean Swanson and the River Life Foundation and the Eureka Rescue Mission. But we need a larger scale effort with public/private partnerships. This is an investment in a better quality of life for everyone in the county, not just the down and out. Everybody wins.

Why are you the right person to represent the First District for the next four years?

I have spent decades in community service, started a business that created jobs and have been a conduit of information during emergencies, and while all this is good, that’s not the job of a supervisor. A supervisor is there to make policy, to give staff clear direction and trust them to do their jobs, and to facilitate community conversation among all people. My vision is a locally based, uniquely Humboldt, healthy, environmentally sound, thriving, sustainable, diverse and respectful community. Humboldt County is at a crossroads right now with crumbling infrastructure and climate change knocking at the door.

This is not the time for the status quo. I have been a leader for years in the private sector. I believe in long-term planning and systems to avoid being is crisis mode when we should be doing scheduled work.

I stand for complete transparency in land use decisions, and I am a consensus builder who has made a career talking to a diversity of people on a variety of issues. As I’ve

said publicly, I firmly believe that Humboldt County’s best days are still ahead of us.

ON THE COVER Continued from previous page

Rex Bohn What are the two biggest challenges facing the First District and what are your plans to address them?

The biggest challenges are infrastructure, roads, homeless, mental health and climate change. Good things are happening for roads. After 20 years of cuts, closures of county yards and reductions in staff size, the last eight years have shown improvement with increased spending due to Measure Z and — coming up — our first full year of Senate Bill 1 funding.

The tides have turned. When I came into office in 2012, the deferred maintenance was staggering and we are looking ahead to chip away at it. The effort to get more services is an ongoing challenge for mental health, homelessness and addiction.

The state’s new “Drug Medi-Cal (DMC)” program will assist significantly in the task of treating addiction. New funding coming from the governor’s office will allow the county to do more to get people off the streets and into services. Additionally, the county is partnering with our cities, which puts our region in a better position to leverage additional funding from California’s Local Housing Trust Fund Program.

We can’t forget climate change and sea-level rise. These are also huge issues that we’re working to address through the county’s Climate Action Plan.

What is county government’s largest flaw in responding to residents’ needs and how do you plan to fix it?

County Government is public service.

Quick response to all correspondence, verbal or written, and accountability are the county’s best avenues to providing services. So many of the tasks we are providing are specific to the county, such as business licenses, permits, waivers, etc.

Just because we are the only ones provid-

14

ing the services, we need to ensure that customer service is job number one. With that, Humboldt County is lucky to have great staff who reflect customer service daily. We, as supervisors, hopefully, can provide our departmental staff with the tools to do just that, such as upgraded WiFi, phone and computer equipment, and workstations, all of which is a tall order with today’s budget and in anticipation reduced revenues.

Why are you the right person to represent the First District for the next four years?

I have had overwhelming support during the last eight years. I have gained and lost supporters because I will think outside of the box. I am open, approachable and I have been providing community service for Humboldt County for over 48 years — since I was 17 years old and coached my first youth basketball team.

Even if we don’t agree, your input, perspective and ideas are essential. And in all honesty, I can change my mind, because I am open to change. I know my district.

I have done a lot of things in my district, that not necessarily in the county’s wheelhouse, but sufficiently in mine. I have worked with a lot of people because of my charitable work and youth activities, which is one of the best sounding boards I have. I won’t avoid a conversation on issues that are challenging to us all. I get things done.

An Eclectic Mix A crowded field of challengers in the Second District

By Thadeus Greenson

T

he race to become Humboldt County’s next Second District supervisor has four challengers taking on two-term incumbent Estelle Fennell, collectively offering a diverse set of opinions on where the county is and where it’s going.

The March 3 primary will see Fennell, the former executive director of the Humboldt County Coalition of Property Rights and news director at KMUD, squaring off with challengers Michelle Bushnell, a rancher and small business owner, operations consultant Sean Devries, retired Hydesville Water District Manager Rick French and Michael McKaskle, who’s worked as everything from a mental health aid to a glass science technician and served on multiple community boards.

Each of the candidates filled out NCJ’s brief questionnaire via email, with the exception of French, who said he was concerned his computer was being “monitored” and instead opted to pick up a paper copy and

fill it out by hand. The surveys offer a brief overview of the candidates’ bios, a few insights into their personalities and the chance for them to outline their priorities.

We then interviewed each of them, asking the same four questions about some of the most pressing issues currently facing the county: homelessness, the economy, climate change and budget priorities. Their abridged answers are presented below, in alphabetical order.

NCJ: Humboldt County is home to one of the largest per-capita populations of chronically homeless people in the nation.

The county has pledged to take a Housing First approach to addressing the issue but a housing shortage remains. What would you do as a supervisor to address this?

Bushnell: “I believe in Housing First, however, I believe that housing is not enough when chronic drug and alcohol abuse plague the homeless, usually because of mental health issues they’re self medicating for,” Bushnell says, adding that the issue hits close to home as her mother was homeless when she died at the age of 49. She says new state laws will make it easier to provide temporary shelter for people and that she’s interested to hear people’s ideas about what the obstacles are to creating more affordable housing because there are reverberating impacts from the problem. “Not only are people cold and hungry and not being housed, it’s also a detriment to our county when we’re trying to market for tourism and trying to bring people to the area,” she says.

DeVries: Addressing homelessness locally necessarily includes “healing people that are sick,” DeVries says, whether that be mental health or substance issues. DeVries says he sees psychedelic therapy — or the practice of therapists working with patients on psychedelic drugs to treat ailments from PTSD and anxiety to alcohol and nicotine dependence — as a viable solution. “That would be so exciting and I think a lot of money would come our way to explore this and try to help people,” he says. Additionally, DeVries says he sees positive steps in the new county General Plan Update, which allows for tiny homes and sanctuary parking areas. He also says officials need to make decisions in the community interest even if there will be localized impacts. “I think we just need to find something that’s reasonable and get it going,” he says. “You can’t be afraid to make mistakes.”

Fennell: Some things are moving in the right direction, Fennell says, pointing to a new 20-unit housing project for the homeless that’s about to open in Rio Dell and the changes in the General Plan Update to allow for tiny homes and secondary dwelling units as examples. Fennell says the county’s Housing Trust Fund should also see a cash infusion

soon with the auction of a county property expected to bring in at least $375,000, which can be used for other projects aimed at getting people off the streets and into housing. “There’s a lot the county is doing in terms of providing a way forward,” she says, adding that she’s also hopeful state funding to address the issue will be more equitably distributed between rural and urban areas moving forward.

French: “Well, it’s not hard for me to picture how we could do much better,” French says, adding that while Housing First is the right philosophy, the county hasn’t “really taken a great shot at it to start with.”

French says the county needs to inventory what county, state or park land is available and could be used to shelter. He believes the public-private partnerships are generally corrupt and used to funnel money to developers, pointing specifically to the project in Rio Dell. “While I like Betty Chinn, the box car thing is a farce, too,” he adds, referring to the converted shipping container transitional housing project Chinn undertook with the Humboldt County Coalition for Property Rights. He offers no specifics about the alleged corruption.

McKaskle: The county’s immediate focus, McKaskle says, should be on finding shelter solutions to get people out of the elements.

“In theory, Housing First is the best way to do this but in practice, there’s a lot of people who need something right away,” he says, adding that he supports sanctioned camp sites and sanctuary parking programs, as long as they come with some services, like portable showers and toilets. While Housing First typically doesn’t recommend such short-term solutions, McKaskle says he thinks the need in Humboldt is too great not to take immediate steps, especially if they are relatively inexpensive. “I don’t think that would take much away from a Housing First approach,” he says.

NCJ: The scientific consensus is that the world is approaching a tipping point on climate change and Humboldt County has been identified as a “ground zero” for sea level rise impacts in California. What would you do as a supervisor to help reduce Humboldt County’s emissions, while also preparing for the varied impacts of climate change locally?

Bushnell: There’s no question climate change is coming, Bushnell says, and Humboldt needs to prepare on a number of levels. County government, she says, needs to do all it can to look for alternative energy sources. “We need to find ways to get wind power here and solar power here in a large grid form,” she says. But residents also need to take individual action, she says, adding that she would encourage people to research solar panels, small wind generators

and small-scale hydropower on their properties in the rural stretches of the Second District. “People need to take an individual approach to begin with,” she says.

DeVries: Throughout the county, there are old mill sites that could be used for solar installations, DeVries says, adding that the environmental impact of installation would be minimal because the sites are essentially dormant. On a larger scale, DeVries says the county should be doing all it can to facilitate locating an offshore wind farm off the coast and “get that moving.” He says he’d also like to see the bus fleet locally shift to electric, adding that the county should provide free bus passes to all its employees in an effort to boost ridership.

Fennell: “There’s actually three areas that we need to focus on: emissions, sea level rise and the third part is fire safety,” Fennell says. On the emissions front, Fennell says the county’s Climate Action Plan has identified the top local emissions sources and is now coming up with plans to reduce those.

When it comes to sea level rise, Fennell says the problem is daunting, noting that some projections have the U.S. Highway 101 safety corridor and Murray Field being inundated with water in the not-too-distant future.

“Those are things we need to take very seriously,” she says. On the fire safety side, Fennell says controlled burns have proven effective to reduce risk, adding that residents and officials need to do what they can to support local fire departments, especially in rural areas.

French: Humboldt County’s rural nature, coupled with the fact that 54 percent of its emissions come from transportation, will make this a daunting challenge, French says.

Especially in the rural stretches of the county, he says people will become more isolated and just won’t “have the wherewithal to get to town very often.” He says he doesn’t “understand the dynamics” between the board of supervisors and Caltrans but thinks its unfortunate the U.S. Highway 101 safety corridor improvement project is moving forward without plans to address sea level rise and has “a sense that there’s fraud.” Regarding sea level rise more generally, he says he’d like to see “big money people come in and offer some kind of program where we offer to buy out people in (low lying) places like Fields Landing” to help them relocate to higher ground.

McKaskle: Humboldt County should pursue the creation of a public bank, McKaskle says, which could then help finance renewable energy projects, like the solar array being pursued by the Redway Community Services District. He said the county should also do what it can to reduce fuel loads in local forests, which would in turn reduce wildfire risks. The best way to do this, he said, is by making biochar, a kind of char-

coal that safely stores carbon, is resistant to decay and will last for thousands of years.

“That way, you’re able to fix the carbon,” he says, adding that he’d also like to see the county’s General Plan Update revised to be more “climate friendly.”

NCJ: The county’s seven-year budget projection has it facing a substantial deficit in the coming years, yet the budget also faces requests for increased expenditures, from raises for sheriff’s deputies and other staff to deferred road maintenance and infrastructure needs. How would you work as a supervisor to both bring the budget into balance and address the county’s growing list of needs?

Bushnell: The county makes rash financial decisions, Bushnell says, and needs more oversight. “Especially with road maintenance because we have had a lot of damage from rain and slides and stuff, and we need to make sure we’re finding the best, most cost-effective approach while still retaining the quality we need,” she says. “We have to investigate to make sure we’re getting the best bang for our buck.” Bushnell adds that she’s also concerned about increasing pension liabilities from CalPERS, calling it a “plague.”

DeVries: The best approach to the county’s budget imbalance, DeVries says, is to bring jobs back to the economy. He says the county should immediately work to “convert as many of the traditional market growers” as possible to the legal, regulated industry.

He suggests doing this with a friendlier permitting process and an incentive program that will allow growers to enter the system while working toward regulatory compliance and paying taxes. “What other industry do you know where they ask you to stop working while you fix decades-old problems?” he asks. “That’s insane and it’s not viable. … [But] if we act quickly, we can save this economic engine that’s driven the county for 30 years.”

Fennell: If the revenue isn’t there to pay for all existing or needed services, “we’re going to have to prioritize,” says the incumbent. “Those are the cold, hard facts. But what we can do is learn from the past and build revenues.” Fennell says it’s also important to recognize that cannabis revenue coming into the county will grow as the industry gains a foothold, noting that the board also gave the industry a brief tax reprieve last year. But really, she says, the county needs a diversified economy, noting that the proposed Nordic AquaFarms fish plant and an offshore wind facility could bring jobs and revenue. “Let’s build the revenues now and the way we do that is by building a diversified, solid economy,” she says.

French: There’s “hanky-panky in the sheriff’s office and the budget,” French says withContinued on next page »

out offering details. He questions whether the 17 vacant sheriff’s deputy positions really need to be filled and suspects the county budget is rife with fraud and waste.

“We need to straighten the salaries out, get everybody Kosher and not stealing money from various departments,” he says. “I’m a nuts and bolts person. I like to stay closer to real things.”

He also suggests forming special rural roads districts that would allow neighborhoods to prioritize road maintenance, if they desire. Additionally, he says the county needs to support statewide efforts to reform Proposition 13, which capped property tax increases, by exempting commercial properties. Further, he says, supporting MediCare for all would save the county money, noting it currently spends

some $16 million on medical insurance for employees. He also refers to rising CalPERS costs as “a time bomb” the county needs to be cautious of.

NCJ: Anecdotal evidence and declining sales tax receipts indicate the county is in the midst of an economic downturn, with many pointing to the contracting cannabis industry as a primary reason. What would you do as supervisor to stimulate economic growth generally and give Humboldt Coun-

ty’s legal cannabis industry the best chance to succeed?

Bushnell: As a small business owner, Bushnell says there’s no question times are tough, adding that her store is in the midst of the worst two-month stretch she’s seen the 10 years she’s owned it. “Cannabis alone is not going to be enough for this county,” she says, adding that promoting countywide tourism in a coordinated effort will be key rather than the current approach, which she sees as siloed. Making Humboldt visitor-friendly also means homeowners and business owners taking pride in curb appeal, making sure the community is putting its best foot forward. When it comes to cannabis, she says the county needs to realize it needs to treat small farmers — those cultivating 2,000 square feet or less — differently. The one-size-fits-all approach isn’t working, she says, adding that we need “to give smaller farmers some relief.”

DeVries: Pointing back to the amnesty program that would allow long-time growers to work toward compliance while still paying taxes and cultivating their land, DeVries says his mill-to-solar program would also create well-paying jobs and stimulate the economy. The psychedelic therapy, he says, could also prove an economic boon. “We can be a frontrunner,” he says, explaining that Humboldt could recruit newly graduated therapists from San Francisco to start a pilot program here, which could in turn create a medical tourism industry. DeVries adds that the county should explore niche manufacturing that would have economic benefits while also addressing the housing shortage, like converting shipping containers to living quarters or tiny home fabrication.

Fennell: A lot is already being done to put the regulated local cannabis industry on good footing, Fennell says, pointing to Project Trellis, the county’s grant and small loan program to help the industry expand and meet compliance costs, adding that the first call yielded 70 applications for funds.

The county has also dedicated funding to marketing the local industry, Fennell says, and was recently awarded $1.3 million in state equity funds that will support cannabis businesses. “In short, the county is doing a lot to make sure there’s a solid foundation for what everybody hopes will be an important part of a diversified economy,” Fennell says, stressing the need to also lift up other industries.

French: The economic downturn is real, French says, adding that parts of Garberville and Fortuna look like “ghost towns” with closed storefronts. “It’s scary,” he says.

French says Eureka should double down and “embrace” cannabis by making it easier for people to open smoking lounges. On the county level, he says the cannabis permitting process has been a mess, adding that there

are also just “outlaws” who refuse to come into compliance. In the regulated industry, he says the government needs to “get out of the way” and make the process easier. He also worries that when it comes to regulated cannabis, we’re “dealing with a commodity that there’s just too much of.”

McKaskle: The state of California has let Humboldt County down, McKaskle says, pointing to un-kept promises in the Proposition 64 campaign that pledged to cap cannabis farm sizes and protect small producers.

“In so many ways, the horse is way out of the barn,” he says, adding that the county should focus on promoting tourism “on our terms because we’re quirky and because we have some of the most beautiful trees in the world.” He says he’d like to see that effort also highlight the area’s small food producers, adding that there also needs to be a local campaign to get people to support local businesses and shop local. Finding a way to produce energy locally, he says, would also be a major step toward creating a “diverse, sustainable economy.”

Sean DeVries What are the two biggest challenges facing the Second District and what are your plans to address them?

First, the economy is hurting from the poor handling of cannabis permitting. We can streamline and improve the permitting process, allowing more farmers to be part of our local economy.

Second, we are poorly prepared for climate change related impacts. We need to bolster our local grids, shore up our roads and prepare for sea-level rise. It’ll be here in the next decade or so and we have made almost no preparations. We must act now to have any chance of prospering in the future.

We can start immediately with utility-grade solar at old mill sites around the county, and move on to installing a floating platform, offshore wind power plant, and lastly, we can sue big oil to offset the costs of bolstering the county against climate change impacts.

What is county government’s largest flaw in responding to residents’ needs and how do you plan to fix it?

Access to information and services. District Two is far away from the county seat.

As a result, it is a burden for residents in our district to receive information and services from the county. I will improve access by implementing remote access for county meetings and fast tracking the construction of the Southern Humboldt County Campus.

Why are you the right person to represent the Second District for the next four years?

I am efficient and effective, with extensive experience in setting up operational systems. I have a background in real estate, finance and law. I have helped draft regulations that have been enacted in California, and can use that expertise to help Humboldt move forward. Most importantly, I am a zealous advocate for the 99 percent.

Rick French What are the two biggest challenges facing the Second District and what are your plans to address them?

Our county government has massive corruption within the courthouse and I have been battling for two and a half years to rid the county of this blight in our leadership.

The public will soon be made aware of the many conflicts of interests of two board members in particular. These conflicts cloud most of the decisions made by the board.

With honest, trustworthy leadership, the county can honestly begin to look at the challenges ahead. In terms of scale, the global warming crisis is the fight of our lifetime.

We need total unity of all citizens to do the best we are able in answering the bell in this fight. I also think that the Citizens United decision, and the influx of big money is a continuing disaster that needs to be undone.

It has resulted in even greater inequality among our citizens and further separating the haves from the have-nots. I plan to replace my corrupt District Two supervisor and join Supervisors Wilson, Madrone and Berkowitz on a pro-action, progressive board that is transparent and appreciates having an active, informed community to work togethContinued on next page »

er to tackle the challenges we face.

What is county government’s largest flaw in responding to residents’ needs and how do you plan to fix it?

I consider corruption a gigantic flaw that has to be corrected before honest progress can be made. Lack of transparency and poor communication among the scattered agencies of the county. The fraudulent minor subdivision at the heart of my dispute with the county was signed off by all required agencies of the county. Need I say more?

Why are you the right person to represent the Second District for the next four years?

The county was complicit in an attempt on my life and I will not be intimidated or deterred from pursuing all those who have harmed my family with their actions.

Now, a brief questionnaire to help voters get to know you a bit better: Age? 75 City/town of residence? Hydesville Where did you grow up? Philadelphia, Pennsylvania How long have you lived in Humboldt County? 40 years Can you please provide a brief education history? University of Maryland; basic and advanced training in the U.S. Army.

Can you please provide a brief work history? Manager/operator of Hydesville Water District from 1992 to 2000, worked at Eel River sawmills and a Fortuna cabinet company before that.

What is your current occupation? Retired What do you consider the three most important endorsements you have received to date in your campaign for county supervisor? The citizens of Garberville, Rio Dell and Fortuna who qualified me to run for supervisor.

Michelle Bushnell What are the two biggest challenges facing the Second District and what are your plans to address them?

The current economic downturn has greatly affected the people of the Second District and I believe that there are solutions we can implement on the county level to help fortify our citizens for the future. We need to tap into our strengths and work cohesively as a county to promote a shift in this realm. Things like tourism can certainly be bolstered to bring more money into this economy. We have to work smart in the cannabis industry to make sure that this thriving industry lands its profits right here on our home doorsteps. Logging and fishing are still viable industries in our communities that can be regulated in such a way that they can be profitable without having devastating effects on our ecosystem.

A second challenge facing not just Humboldt County but the entire world is climate change. We need to be serious about our contribution to correcting this global issue.

We know that we need alternative energy sources and a reduction in our carbon footprint. I think this issue is paramount in the coming years and I intend to consult all the experts to find the most productive solutions to this problem. It really hits home for our citizens when we have these periods of time without power sources, and our loved ones are cold, or can’t operate machines that

are vital to their survival, etc. This is a serious issue and I intend to take it on as such.

What is county government’s largest flaw in responding to residents’ needs and how do you plan to fix it?

A prevalent feeling that I have been hearing is that the people of the Second District have felt under represented. Specifically, people have had the concern that while they feel like they might be heard, the follow-through has not been evident. I would like to make sure there is not a disconnect between the voices of the people of our communities and what is actually happening on the county level.

Why are you the right person to represent the Second District for the next four years?

I think to answer this question I have to draw from my family history right here in the Second District. I am a fourth-generation resident. Together, my husband and I have raised our six children here. We are so invested in this area, this is where my heart is.

Having this strong connection to this district means that I have a serious devotion to seeing the wrongs righted. I want everyone to thrive now, for our future generations. I get up every day with the goal of leaving my community better than I found it and being a positive influence, or tool, for the greater good.

Now, a brief questionnaire to help voters get to know you a bit better: Age? 49 City of residence? Blocksburg Where did you grow up? Garberville How long have you lived in Humboldt County? 49 years Can you please provide a brief education history? I am a South Fork High School graduate.

Can you please provide a brief work history? SoHum Hospital, seven years; school bus driver, 13 years; retail store, 10 years; rancher; sustainable timber production and logging truck business.

What is your current occupation? Rancher, retail store owner, logging and trucking.

What do you consider the three most important endorsements you have received to date in your campaign for county supervisor?

I won’t list three official endorsements because honestly I do not feel that all the endorsements have been decided yet at this point. But I will say that I am overwhelmed by the support I get each day as I campaign.

Groups of people or individuals who I would have never expected to be in my corner have come out and said, “Hey, I’m in your corner and I believe you are the person for the job.”

I am honored by people’s confidence and I aim to make them proud.

Now, a few questions to give voters a

taste of your personality: What is your favorite movie? I really don’t watch movies or TV much, I couldn’t say.

What is your favorite book? My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult What magazine do you read most regularly? Horse & Rider, or Reader’s Digest If your campaign had a theme song, what would it be? “Back Where I Come From” by Kenny Chesney Who is your favorite fictional politician? Elizabeth McCord from Madam Secretary Who is your favorite real-life politician? George H. W. Bush Dogs or cats? Dogs What is your favorite hobby? Ranch life with my husband and family. I enjoy all the chores and joys of a job well done. It’s so beautiful here in Humboldt, working on the ranch with the ones I love is my favorite hobby because it really grounds me and reminds me of my roots. I was raised on a ranch in SoHum by my grandparents. I cherish this connection.

What would your superpower be and how would you use it? To fly would be amazing. How quickly I could get from point A to point B and what an incredible view that would be.

If you could sum up your candidacy in a single haiku, what would it be?

Communication Is a vital element Of community

Michael McKaskle What are the two biggest challenges facing the Second District and what are your plans to address them?

1) It’s response to climate change, both adapting to it and avoiding more of it, as well as how we harness our economy to adapt in ways that keep Humboldt County a great place to live. 2) How do we steward our natural resources to provide longterm economic benefits to county residents?

Solutions for both challenges are related.

The first step is to recognize that our current economic system has failed us, externalizing costs of production onto the environment and human misery makes a mockery of the concept of a free market but is great at concentrating wealth. We need science-based advice with full environmental accounting of our options. We need solar panels, micro grids and batteries. We need to identify where marshes can move inland, where to stop more development and where to put seawalls. We need fuel load reduction for fire safety and river health. We need to support small regenerative farmers to thrive and be able to market their produce to the world. Every dollar spent on locally produced clean energy is a dollar that stays in our community.

What is county government’s largest flaw in responding to residents’ needs and how do you plan to fix it?

County government’s largest flaw is they do not have the resources they need to maintain our current situation, let alone proactively address even a partial list of it’s challenges. Fixing that requires people earn money and spend as much locally as possible with enough left for taxes. Many rural residents need to produce income from their land. I think a limited CBD hemp growing program could help with that, as would programs supporting micro licenses for THC hemp. Raising the IHHS wage would keep more elderly people in their homes and put more money in consumers’ pockets.

Competitive salaries retain competent county employees.

I would work hard for a public bank to help finance projects and would call for that peace dividend we were promised long ago.

We need split roll Proposition 13 reform, which will be on the ballot in November.

More and more properties, especially commercial ones, are owned by single purpose LLCs that never die or sell the property. They sell themselves and the property is never reassessed. Since the 1970s, the proportion of property tax paid by residences has doubled while the total take has not kept up with inflation, crippling services.

Why are you the right person to represent the Second District for the next four years?

I have the local knowledge. Twenty-four years of living in Humboldt County after visiting the family ranch regularly and almost a dozen years serving in local government have given me a broad perspective. I have never had to run for office before because I served on a “little, unimportant” board that goes looking for members. It turns out those boards are important and provide a huge education.

talk shows, as well as having hosted my own show for six years interviewing people about biology, ecology, politics, economics, materials science, history, archaeology, journalism and more. This has provided behind-thescenes and in-depth views on many issues, local and beyond, and gotten me accustomed to speaking to an audience.

I have broad interests and am inquisitive and enjoy playing around with ideas and combining philosophies and adopting perspectives. As an example, initially I was very leery of local hemp production, fearing clouds of pollen and an environmentally destructive CBD rush in the hills. Upon reflection, I envisioned a hemp production ordinance that could allow an economic avenue, while protecting the environment and our regulated farmers.

I can sit through many meetings, lose votes and continue on. I understand that people can disagree about some things but still be valuable allies on other issues.

Nature batting last Critical inflection point Vote for McKaskle

Estelle Fennell What are the two biggest challenges facing the Second District and what are your plans to address them?

Public Safety (law enforcement, fire safety, roads) is a big challenge. The second District is one of the largest, with two cities, several towns and widespread rural residential areas. 24/7 law enforcement and fire protection services are the cornerstone of a safe and stable community and economy. I will continue my work to fund and support the work of both paid and unpaid emergency responders. I am also working to fund call boxes on rural roads and bring more cell coverage where possible. Regarding roads and infrastructure, while I have been successful in working with public works, Sen. Mike McGuire and state parks to address some of the most challenging road fixes, I will continue my work to ensure that the day-to-day maintenance is funded and road workers supported.

The transition into a legal cannabis industry is a very big challenge, when it comes to the implementation of state cannabis regulations at the county level. Any commercial cannabis permit that Humboldt County

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Feb. 13, 2020 • northcoastjournal.com

issues must meet state standards. I will continue to work with state legislators, local officials, the legal cannabis industry and local residents to ensure the success of the legal industry while protecting the consumer, the environment and the community.

What is county government’s largest flaw in responding to residents’ needs and how do you plan to fix it?

Infrastructure, especially county roads, is a huge issue throughout the county. We are dealing with decades of deferred maintenance, which just compounds itself the longer it remains inadequately addressed.

Senate Bill 1 (gas tax) funds are crucial to bringing our roads up to better standards and, as a member of the California State Association of Counties (CSAC) Board of Directors, I worked to defeat a proposition that would have repealed that tax. As supervisor, I support allocating funds from Measure Z and other revenue streams to address ongoing problems and I continue to support working with local contractors in outlying areas to help with the upkeep of the more remote areas. This public/private partnership model ensures that those who travel those roads on a regular basis are familiar with problems as they arise and can address them before they become bigger and more costly problems.

And it frees up county workers to work on more complex issues.

Why are you the right person to represent the Second District for the next four years?

I have the experience, the strong leadership skills, the energy and a proven track record of being able to work with people and getting things done in my district and at the county level and beyond.

During my two terms in office, I have worked hard to develop trusted working relationships at the county, regional, state and federal levels, which is essential for me, as Second District supervisor, to bring needed resources, services and funding to our rural district and county.

I am involved on many different levels in the work of helping our county build a stable and sustainable future and we are making good progress. I want to continue that work and am uniquely qualified in that regard.

Some areas I am deeply involved in are: Working on returning essential water flows to the Eel River with the Potter Valley Two Basin Partnership; working with my colleagues at the Redwood Coast Energy Authority (RCEA) on renewable local energy projects; the state-mandated creation of a Sustainable Groundwater Management Agency for the Eel Watershed; working with numerous partners on the county, state and regional level to move the brand-new cannabis industry forward; building a robust tourism industry in Humboldt.

Have the seafood

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

Po’ boys and sympathy If you go to Fat Anne’s Bakery & Bistro’s new spot on Main Street in Ferndale (939 Main St.), get the fried chicken. Then tell me what it’s like because the fryer was down the day I visited, though I hear it’s being remedied. It happens. But there is little that can stop my body-shaking sobs when I psych myself up for fried chicken only to be denied.

Which is why the blackened shrimp po’ boy on the lunch menu is remarkable for having cheered me up ($15). The very plump shrimp are curled up in a soft, dense hoagie roll (baked on the premises), rather than French bread, and are grilled to firmness and no further. The smoky char of butter and Cajun seasoning let the flavor of the seafood through and the homemade herbed remoulade would probably make anything taste good. The menu announces slaw but mixed greens with lovely house made croutons and ranch dressing are a fine swap.

Do not dismiss the power of homemade ranch dressing — it is another creature entirely from the bottled stuff in which someone somewhere is currently drowning a slice of pizza. (Not judging you, ranch-pizza lovers — this world is hard and if you find something that makes you happy, hold onto it.) Take a moment to appreciate what a light toss with the fresh stuff, creamy and herby, does for ordinary spring mix. And for sobbing strangers.

Down at the Docks Sometimes I walk from the Journal offices down F Street to the plaza, with its wind-whipped flags, and look across the water as the fishing boats come into the bay as they have for lifetimes, bringing their haul back from the unknowable depths and think, “Shouldn’t we have, like, a million places for fish and chips, chowder and steamer clams?” There is a solid handful but among those three items, it’s hit

Jack’s rock cod fish and chips from right next door.

or miss at each. What happy news, then, to discover Jack’s Seafood (4 C St., Suite B, Eureka), overlooking the bay and the crane lifting catches from boats just a couple of blocks over, has conquered the trifecta.

The chowder is more about the fresh cream than the usual flour-thick version of the New England classic, with chopped clams, vegetables and a little pepper ($5 cup, $8 bowl). It’s light on the salt and served with crackers, herb butter and sliced sourdough — it’s the North Coast, after all and nobody’s defecting to Maine.

Steamer clams, in their amphitheater bowl, are your basic white wine and clam broth with garlic, parsley, green onions and black pepper, and that is truly all anybody is asking for ($14). That and a few crusty slices to dip as you pick your miniature fork through the clinking shells like a very civilized otter. (I have long considered bringing my own baguette to restaurants that serve only soft rolls or hard bruschet-

ta toasts with steamer clams, but I cannot decide if it makes me look like a cool actress from French New Wave cinema or just very troubled.)

You have choices for the fish and chips, but they all come from Pacific Seafoods next door. The rock cod is tender with a delicate batter crust that holds together just long enough to be dipped in tartar sauce and/or splashed with lemon or malt vinegar and bitten ($15). The chips are skin-on, hand-cut wedges, and the slaw is not to be ignored — lightly dressed and freshly cut with an option for spicy, it’s worth ordering a side if you aren’t getting the fish. ● Share your tips about What’s Good with Jennifer Fumiko Cahill, arts and features editor at the Journal.

Cupid is Stupid

By Collin Yeo

L live jazz, small bites & craft cocktails

THURSDAY, FRIDAY & SATURDAY NIGHTS in the basement of the jacoby storehouse

780 7th st. ARCATA

ove is pretty wild, isn’t it? There isn’t a lot of raw data suggesting that love as a pursuit will pay out in dependable dividends of domestic comfort. The ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus suggested that a lack of pain and a tranquility brought on by a dearth of fear over one’s mortality were the keys to the height of happiness. Do those sound like they are the rudiments of romantic love? No, because romance is so much messier than happiness.

But we still do it and it’s probably for the better. We should love each other and we should perhaps love a special few even more than the regulation rations allow. We can be specialized, we can be selective, we can home in on our targets. But we can never fully choose how romantic love hits, can we? It’s often a big, wet, mushy goober that ignores our better instincts and so often props up some fairly shitty candidates with terrible resumes. What the hell are we all doing?

We are living our best lives, I suppose, all following the roots of our desire.

With that in mind, try to get some goodness out of it this week, please.

Thursday

The Duncan Burgess Trio is back at it again down in the Basement tonight at 8 p.m. (free). Duncan is probably one of the best jazz guitarists in the 707 and an all-around entertaining and knowledgeable fella to boot. If you want to hear music from a better era done right, this is your evening.

Friday (Valentine’s Day) It’s the holiday of love. Sometimes I find myself recommending heartbroken or vigorously non-couple-friendly events on this day as a salve for the bitter, lovelorn or romantically unemployable among us.

However, it’s a Friday night and I’ve found something perfectly appropriate for singles or doubles (or more, it’s a brave new world after all, and who am I to judge?). There’s a Barn Dance over at the Arcata Veteran’s Hall at 7 p.m. that is worth our attention.

Striped Pig String Band will be providing the tunes, and Lyndsey Battle will be calling the dances, which I am told require no previous experience or a partner. Just show up and give it a try. ($10, $5 Humboldt Folklife Society/Arcata Playhouse Members,

Saturday

Inscrutable Rabbit is a trio helmed by Jeff DeMark, with his brother Paul and the talented veteran guitarist John Dillon on guitar. Named after a statuette procured

by Jeff at a street market in my erstwhile hometown of New Orleans, the group mixes original songs with storytelling and homages to make for an original concert.

Tonight’s performance at the Westhaven Center for the Performing Arts features the singer/songwriter Tim Breed and will involve the music of the late, great Doug Sahm.

Catch it at 7:30 p.m. ($6-$10 sliding scale).

Meanwhile at 9 p.m. way down south county, the legendary Steel Pulse returns to the Mateel Community Center for a night of OG reggae. Local dub favorites Irie Rockerz open up the night’s smoke-bala ($40, $35 advance).

promote the excellent Transangelic Exodus record, and the show was splendid. Tonight ought to be better because he is joined by Sub Pop artist and San Francisco transplant tunesmith Kelley Stoltz, whose musical CV is basically a soundtrack of the best underground Bay Area sounds from the last 20 years.

Tuesday The Sanctuary has an artist residence showcase tonight at 8 p.m. Ithaca, New York’s Matthew Puleo and Jessie Gray roll through dark electronic sounds to make a contemporary sonic landscape of jazzy strife while Portland, Oregon’s Claire Rigsby and Keegan Kyle make hay with a piece called Palindrome Machines ($10-$25 sliding scale). FYI, this is also the last day to register to vote in California in person, email or via postmarked mail for the primary. And you don’t want to mess that up, do you?

Sunday

Wednesday

Treasured American ex-pat humorist and the man whose elfin voice was truly made for the written word, David Sedaris returns to our homeland to preach the art of the perfectly-honed story this evening at the Van Duzer Theatre at 7 p.m. I’ve probably read nearly everything by this son of Lou, brother of Amy and Paul (and more), so I’m a bit of a biased source when I tell you that if you can swing the $66 ticket, you should go listen to this weird little man speak. He’s a delight, a comic genius and a modern lighthouse for those of us laboring in broke obscurity waiting for our own shot at the marquee.

There’s a good folk and country bill happening tonight at 9 p.m. as simpatico modern acoustic troubadours Willy Tea Taylor and The Sam Chase join forces at Humbrews for some roots music ($15).

Expect soulful and sincere songwriting and delivery, which is something of a rarity these days. ●

Monday

Collin Yeo prefers he/him pronouns and thinks that it’s cool that Rashida Tlaib booed Hillary Clinton for bad-mouthing Bernie Sanders. He lives in Arcata, where he will continue to celebrate his political heroes and boo the zeroes.

Chicago’s Ezra Furman is back in town at the Miniplex for an evening of Bruce Springsteen-tinged brilliance at 9 p.m. ($15).

The last time Furman was in town it was to

ASTROLOGY

CARTOONS SCREENS

Free Will Astrology Week of Feb. 13, 2020

By Rob Brezsny

Homework: Want to get married to yourself? The ritual’s here: https://tinyurl.com/YouCanMarryYourself

freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): Now that she’s in her late 40s, Aries comedian and actress Tig Notaro is wiser about love. Her increased capacity for romantic happiness has developed in part because she’s been willing to change her attitudes. She says, “Instead of being someone who expects people to have all the strengths I think I need them to have, I resolved to try to become someone who focuses on the strengths they do have.”

In accordance with this Valentine’s season’s astrological omens, Aries, I invite you to meditate on how you might cultivate more of that aptitude yourself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus artist Joan Miró loved to daub colored paint on canvases. He said he approached his work in the same way he made love: “a total embrace, without caution, prudence thrown to the winds, nothing held back.”

In accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to invoke a similar attitude with all the important things you do in the coming weeks. Summon the ardor and artistry of a creative lover for all-purpose use. Happy Valentine Daze, Taurus!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In 1910, Gemini businessman Irving Seery was 20 years old. One evening he traveled to the Metropolitan Opera in New York City to see an opera starring the gorgeous and electrifying soprano singer Maria Jeritza. He fell in love instantly. For the next 38 years he remained a bachelor as he nursed his desire to marry her. His devotion finally paid off.

Jeritza married Seery in 1948. Dear Gemini, in 2020, I think you will be capable of a heroic feat of love that resembles Seery’s.

Which of your yearnings might evoke such intensely passionate dedication? Happy Valentine Daze!

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I’ve been married twice, both times to the same woman. Our first time around, we were less than perfectly wise in the arts of relationship. After our divorce and during the few years we weren’t together, we each ripened into more graceful versions of ourselves; we developed greater intimacy skills. Our second marriage has been far more successful. Is there a comparable possibility in your life, Cancerian? A chance to enhance your ability to build satisfying togetherness? An opening to learn practical lessons from past romantic mistakes?

Now is a favorable time to capitalize. Happy Valentine Daze!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In 1911, the famous Russian poet Anna Akhmatova and the famous Italian painter Amedeo Modigliani were in love with each other. Both were quite poor, though.

They didn’t have much to spend on luxuries. In her memoir, Akhmatova recalled the time they went on a date in the rain at the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris. Barely protected under a rickety umbrella, they amused each other by reciting the verse of Paul Verlaine, a poet they both loved. Isn’t that romantic? In the coming weeks, I recommend you experiment with comparable approaches to cultivating love. Get back to raw basics. Happy Valentine Daze!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): [Warning: Poetry alert! If you prefer your horoscopes to be exclusively composed of practical, hyper-rational advice, stop reading now!] Happy Valentine Daze, Virgo! I hope there’s someone in your life to whom you can give a note like the one I’ll offer at the end of this oracle. If there’s not, I trust you will locate that person in the next six months.

Feel free to alter the note as you see fit. Here it is. “When you and I are together, it’s as if we have been reborn into luckier lives; as if we can breathe deeper breaths that fill our bodies with richer sunlight; as if we see all of the world’s beauty that alone we were blind to; as if the secrets of our souls’ codes are no longer secret.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the course of your life, how many people and animals have truly loved you? Three? Seven? More?

I invite you to try this Valentine experiment: Write down their names on a piece of paper. Spend a few minutes visualizing

34

the specific qualities in you that they cherished, and how they expressed their love, and how you felt as you received their caring attention. Then send out a beam of gratitude to each of them. Honor them with sublime appreciation for having treasured your unique beauty. Amazingly enough, Libra, doing this exercise will magnetize you to further outpourings of love in the coming weeks.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): [Warning: Poetry alert! If you prefer your horoscopes to be exclusively composed of practical, hyper-rational advice, stop reading now!] Happy Valentine Daze, Scorpio! I invite you to copy the following passage and offer it to a person who is receptive to deepening their connection with you. “Your healing eyes bless the winter jasmine flowers that the breeze blew into the misty creek. Your welcoming prayers celebrate the rhythmic light of the mud-loving cypress trees.

Your fresh dreams replenish the eternal salt that nourishes our beloved song of songs. With your melodic breath, you pour all these not-yet-remembered joys into my body.” (This lyrical message is a blend of my words with those of Scorpio poet Odysseus Elytis.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The poet Virgil, a renowned author in ancient Rome, wrote three epic poems that are still in print today. His second was a masterpiece called the Georgics.

It took him seven years to write, even though it was only 2,740 lines long. So on average he wrote a little over one line per day.

I hope you’ll use him as inspiration as you toil over your own labors of love in the coming weeks and months. There’ll be no need to rush. In fact, the final outcomes will be better if you do them slowly. Be especially diligent and deliberate in all matters involving intimacy and collaboration and togetherness.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): [Warning: Poetry alert! If you prefer your horoscopes to be exclusively composed of practical, hyper-rational advice, stop reading now!] Happy Valentine Daze, Capricorn! I invite you to copy the following passage and offer it to a person who is ready to explore a more deeply lyrical connection with you. “I yearn to earn the right to your whispered laugh, your confident caress, your inscrutable dance. Amused and curious, I wander where moon meets dawn, inhaling the sweet mist in quest of your questions. I study the joy that my imagination of you has awakened. All the maps are useless, and I like them that way. I’m guided by my nervous excitement to know you deeper. Onward toward the ever-fresh truth of your mysterious rhythms!”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian author Derek Walcott had a perspective on love that I suspect might come in handy for you during this Valentine season. “Break a vase,” he wrote, “and the love that reassembles the fragments is stronger than that love which took its symmetry for granted when it was whole.” I urge you to meditate on how you could apply his counsel to your own love story, Aquarius. How might you remake your closest alliances into even better and brighter versions of themselves?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Piscean poet Saul Williams wrote a meditation I hope you’ll consider experimenting with this Valentine season. It involves transforming mere kisses into SUBLIME KISSES. If you choose to be inspired by his thoughts, you’ll explore new sensations and meanings available through the act of joining your mouth to another’s. Ready? Here’s Saul: “Have you ever lost yourself in a kiss? I mean pure psychedelic inebriation. Not just lustful petting but transcendental metamorphosis, when you became aware that the greatness of this other being is breathing into you. Licking your mouth, like sealing a thousand fleshy envelopes filled with the essence of your passionate being, and then opened by the same mouth and delivered back to you, over and over again — the first kiss of the rest of your life.” l

Squad Goals

Birds of Prey flies high

By John J. Bennett

screens@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

Watching the patriarchy burn.

HARLEY QUINN: BIRDS OF PREY. Gratitude is ... a good thing, right? Of course it is. And we should probably count ourselves grateful. Because even as the facade of American democracy continues to crumble, as we trudge ever closer toward totalitarianism, destitution and disarray, as winter drags on and tyrants grow more empowered and the movie studios unload their dross, we may be occasionally so lucky as to get a movie like Birds of Prey. Because even if it is only most of a great movie, part of a comic book universe about which I care not a whit — this applies to all such universes — and has so far proven to be a “disappointment” at the box office, it has within it grand and significant things for which I should and do feel grateful. Hopeful? Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Comics are ostensibly a great covert equalizer, empowering their readers just as their protagonists are given agency by their superpowers (and occasional self-righteousness). The artform famously gives voice to the voiceless, creating strength from weakness and bringing together those who so often feel alone and voiceless and unrepresented. It’s not all “We Shall Overcome,” though. Like almost everything else, comics can foster a boys’ club atmosphere that can in turn create the very circumstance the medium’s creators ostensibly work to disrupt: separation, xenophobia, misogyny, misanthropy, whatever you like. Despite efforts toward equanimity, I find the same holds true for the current primary cinematic universes (I can’t stand the phrase, but it’s what we’ve got) and, more troublingly, and their widespread cultural consumption. The ladies of Marvel are frequently the most interesting characters in the bunch, but they are even now frequently written as afterthoughts, addenda. And as for DC, home to Harley Quinn, the advent and success of Wonder Woman struck much of the audience as the product of some kind of industrial accident or paranormal activity: “Wait, it’s about a girl? But dudes made it, right?”

While I have little investment in the printed source material, what I care about is

Birds of Prey

what’s projected on the screen. It can’t exist in a vacuum but we’d do well to take each movie on its own merits.

And so I found myself profoundly excited when Birds of Prey (written by Christina Hodson, directed by Cathy Yan) came charging out of the darkness, all candy colors, rough talk and ostensible empowerment. I will try to keep my diminishing enthusiasm in the third act somewhere in the shadow of that initial flash of promise.

Margot Robbie, reprising her role from the lamentable and mostly incoherent Suicide Squad (2016), assays the role of Ms. Quinn, née Harleen Quinzell. She, a hard-drinking maybe-psychopath, finds herself on the outs with her paramour (an unseen Joker). Having sacrificed everything to remake herself in his image, Harley finds herself in a moment of redefinition and clarity. To commemorate the occasion, she blows up the Ace Chemicals factory, birthplace of her now and forever self, and announces that she has washed the boy right out of her chemically scorched hair. Soon enough goons from all over Gotham are at her doorstep, demanding justice for all manner of unpleasantness previously visited upon them by our heroine and her erstwhile partner.

Leering and lording over them all, preening maniac Roman Sionis (Ewan McGregor) and his blood-letting lapdog Victor Zsasz (Chris Messina) see an opportunity to take Harley off the board, but not before conscripting her for some nefarious indentured servitude.

There’s maybe too much background about a mafia family collectively assassinated in a power grab, a crossbow killer at large (May Elizabeth Winstead), a pickpocket (Ella Jay Basco) in possession of a diamond containing coded bank account routing numbers, a lounge singer/driver/bodyguard (Jurnee Smollett-Bell) somehow beholden to Sionis and a long-suffering, oft passed-over cop (Rosie Perez) trying to piece it all together.

For the first two-thirds of the picture, while Harley sets up the narrative and kicks ass in the best-choreographed fight sequences of this young year, there is reason for much rejoicing. The story structure is

@ncj_of_humboldt

@northcoastjournal

deceptively freewheeling, bouncing around to the rhythm of Harley’s syncopated, manic inner voice, and it is gritty, bright and beautifully photographed by Matthew Libatique.

(Much as I hate to compare apples and oranges, I found myself thinking Birds of Prey has more and better moves than Joker.) But as the movie heads toward the climax with a misplaced set-piece in an abandoned amusement park, it literally and figuratively loses the color and the shape of its early acts.

Where once there was joy in Harley marauding through a police station with an M79 grenade launcher and putting on a bat-fighting clinic in the evidence lock-up, we are now left with a scattered low-light brawl lacking any true defining characteristics.

For once, though, I’ll focus on the positives: I remain grateful that Birds of Prey exists as whatever portion of a great movie it may be. Is there a suggestion of something more profound, more significant within it — a glimmer that might leave us with something like regret? Sure, but I’ll rewatch the first hour of this long before I’ll revisit anything Avengers. BROADWAY, FORTUNA, MILL CREEK, MINOR. — John J.

Opening

FANTASY ISLAND. Well, someone finally remade this vintage TV show for the freaky horror it was. With Michael Peña as Mr. Rourke, and Lucy Hale and Maggie Q as guests getting the “Monkey’s Paw” treatment. PG13.

110M. BROADWAY, MILL CREEK. DOWNHILL. Comedy about the aftermath of a man (Will Ferrell) ditching his wife (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) and family to escape an approaching avalanche that everyone survives. Awkward. R. 86M. BROADWAY, FORTUNA, MILL CREEK. THE PHOTOGRAPH. LaKeith Stanfield and Issa Rae star in a romantic drama that could make or break your Valentine’s Day. I mean, are you dating LaKeith Stanfield or Issa Rae? PG13. 106M. BROADWAY. GREASE (1978). Team Rizzo. PG13. 110M. MINOR. HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN (2004). The most relatable Potter movie — that one relative gets out of prison and starts drama. PG. 142M. BROADWAY. SONIC THE HEDGEHOG. After Cats, this will probably be fine. With Jim Carey, Ben Schwartz and James Marsden. PG.

99M. BROADWAY, FORTUNA, MILL CREEK, MINOR. WEATHERING WITH YOU. Makoto Shinkai’s animated story of a boy who runs away to Tokyo and meets a girl with power over the weather. PG13. 112M. MINOR.

Continuing

1917. Director Sam Mendes’ single-shot World War I drama tells the story of British soldiers crossing the horrors of No Man’s Land with urgency and dream-like continuity.

R. 119M. BROADWAY, MILL CREEK. BAD BOYS FOR LIFE. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence return to the buddy cop franchise set in Miami. R. 123M. BROADWAY, FORTUNA, MILL CREEK. DOLITTLE. The eccentric vet who talks to animals played by Robert Downey Jr. With Antonio Banderas. PG. 101M. BROADWAY, FORTUNA, MILL CREEK. THE GENTLEMEN. Director Guy Ritchie’s return to British crime comedy brings back cheeky performances, action and problematic GQ masculinity. A clunky narrative underwhelming climax-to-denouement keep it from being too triumphant. R. 113M. BROADWAY, MILL CREEK. GRETEL AND HANSEL. Director Osgood Perkins delivers otherworldly dread and gorgeous/ghastly visuals in this fascinatingly creepy adaptation, but self-indulgence and slow pacing lead to an unsatisfying conclusion. PG13. 87M. BROADWAY, FORTUNA, MILL CREEK. HONEYLAND. A documentary about a beehunter in rural Europe and the visiting itinerant beekeepers whose methods conflict with hers. 90M. NR. MINIPLEX. JUMANJI: THE NEXT LEVEL. Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart are literally back in the game, which is glitching. PG13. 123M. BROADWAY. KNIVES OUT. Director Rian Johnson’s tightly controlled whodunnit both pays homage to and raises the stakes of classic mystery with a stellar cast. Starring Daniel Craig, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis and Chris Evans. PG13. 130M. BROADWAY. PARASITE. Writer/director Bong Joon Ho’s entertaining, explosive drama about a poor family scamming its way to employment with a rich one is stunning in its sudden turns and unflinching mirror on capitalist society. Starring Kang-ho Song and Woo-sik Choi. (In Korean with subtitles.) R. 132M. BROADWAY. STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER. J.J. Abrams steers a tremendous cast, fantastic effects and a few rousing sequences but this wrap-up of the Skywalker saga is visually and narratively cacophonous enough to drown out emotional moments. PG. 141M. BROADWAY. — Jennifer Fumiko Cahill ● northcoastjournal.com • Thursday, Feb. 13, 2020 • NORTH COAST JOURNAL

A Question of Longitude Part 2 of 2

By Barry Evans

fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com

L

ast week, we saw how, starting in the late 1600s, astronomers published almanacs of predictable celestial events, in particular the eclipses of Jupiter’s four bright (“Galilean”) moons, allowing travelers anywhere in the world to compare their local time with almanac time, thus giving them their longitudes. Let’s see how that worked in real life, especially in North America.

Within a few years of publication, cartographers used Cassini’s Connaisance de Temps to redraw the map of Europe, which was mostly unchanged since Roman times.

On seeing the new map (see illustration), the French king is supposed to have complained that his mapmakers had stripped more land from France than in all the wars fought by all his predecessors. Not to be outdone by the Paris Observatory, which had published Cassini’s tables, the Royal Observatory in Britain began issuing its own Nautical Almanac in 1766, stating that its predictions for eclipses of the Galilean moons “are well known to afford the readiest and ... best method of settling the longitudes of places at land.”

Which is fine if you have a decent 40-power telescope to fix the exact time of immersion (disappearance behind Jupiter) or emersion (reappearance) of one of the Galilean moons. Alexander Mackenzie, who in 1793 became the first white explorer to complete an east-west traverse of the American continent, schlepped a heavy London-made brass telescope. Upon reaching Dean Channel on the coast of (what is now) British Columbia and having determined local noon with a sextant (and setting his watch accordingly), that night he was able to time emersions of Ganymede and Io with his telescope. He thus determined his longitude by comparing his timing with “Greenwich time” of the same events listed in his Nautical Almanac.

In an accident of history, Mackenzie just missed meeting Capt. George Vancouver, who had explored Dean Channel just six weeks earlier. Vancouver, a skilled navigator, used both marine chronometers and “lunar distances” to determine longitudes.

(The latter is another celestial navigation trick, using a sextant to measure the angle the moon makes with a bright star and comparing this with what is predicted in an almanac.) Vancouver determined the latitudes and longitudes of prominent features along the Pacific Coast, including Cape Disappointment on the north side of the mouth of the Columbia River, near where Meriwether Lewis and William Clark wintered 12 years later, 1804-1805.

Lewis and Clark were army men, not trained surveyors, and their attempts at fixing locations along their route were mostly unsuccessful. Clark’s map (published in 1814, a full eight years after their return) was anchored not on data obtained during the expedition, but on three previously known points: their starting point, St. Louis; the approximate midway point, Fort Mandan, the location of which had been fixed by professional surveyor David Thompson in 1797 using lunar distances; and Cape Disappointment. Clark mapped the rest by dead reckoning, which explains, for instance, his 50 percent overestimate of the width of the Rocky Mountains.

Today my iPhone receives GPS data from satellites 12,000 miles overhead, giving — almost instantly — my location to within about 25 feet. What would those doughty navigators of old have given for such convenience? ● Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo) learned the hard way not to trust altitudes derived from GPS readings. He prefers he/him pronouns.
