A slide in February covered the highway at Last Chance Grade.

Two Paths Forward

Last Chance Grade project reaches a major milestone

By Kimberly Wear kim@northcoastjournal.com

T

his has not been a good year for Last Chance Grade.

The notoriously unstable stretch of U.S. Highway 101 just south of Crescent City in Del Norte County has been closed several times in recent months due to landslides, stranding travelers, cutting off commerce and — for a time — preventing school children who live south of the closure site from getting to school.

Motorists trying to traverse the 3-mile section of roadway that serves as a major artery between the northernmost reaches of the state to points south are still facing sometimes lengthy delays as Caltrans works to shore up the most recent geological activity in an area with more than 200 documented active landslides.

Should a catastrophic failure occur, Del Norte County alone stands to lose some $300 million to $400 million per year in economic productivity, along with an estimated 3,000 to 4,000 jobs.

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, May 6, 2021 • northcoastjournal.com

And the only way around is an arduous 320-mile, seven-hour detour via U.S. Highway 199 to Interstate 5 to State Route 299.

But officials recently announced a major milestone in the decades-long effort to find a solution to the Last Chance Grade dilemma — a list of seven potential alternatives has been narrowed to two final contenders.

“The decision will allow Caltrans to concentrate its work on necessary, superior alternatives and avoid wasteful analyses on routes that studies have already shown are not viable,” North Coast Congressmember Jared Huffman said in a news release. “This will save money, but more importantly it will save time and get this critical infrastructure over the finish line sooner.”

One of the routes — known as Option F — detours traffic around the most problematic portion into a 5,600-foot tunnel before returning back to the current alignment of U.S. Highway 101. The cost?

An estimated $1.1 billion to $2 billion, with a construction timeline of seven years.

The other — called Option X — would be what the announcement describes as “a landslide mitigation alternative along the current route — permanently shoring up slopes and hillsides,” including the construction of around 15 walls, at a cost of $300 million. The construction period is half that of option F at three and a half years.

“The Last Chance Grade is the lifeblood for Del Norte County. Relying on temporary fixes just isn’t acceptable,” state Sen. Mike McGuire said in a release. “We all want to start moving dirt on a new route ASAP and narrowing down the alternatives is another big step in the right direction.

You can count on all of us to continue a full-court press on this critical project in the months and years to come.”

the selections — made with input from more than 80 people from more than 30 agencies with permitting and regulatory authority as well as elected officials, businessowners, tribal governments and others, according to Caltrans.

A narrowed field now eliminates the need for studies and analysis on the other previous options. That, according to Caltrans, is expected to shave $10 million off costs moving forward and bring whichever choice makes it to the end a year closer to completion.

“This decision by our stakeholders gets us another step closer to a safe, reliable and sustainable solution at Last Chance Grade,” said Caltrans District 1 Director Matt Brady. “Narrowing the alternatives will reduce the schedule time by concentrating our efforts to a smaller study area. We are so grateful for the support of the many participants involved in this process.”

But there’s still a long road ahead.

The environmental review process and

the ultimate selection of an alternative is now expected in 2025, with an estimated opening date of 2038 or sooner.

So, in the meantime, Caltrans will be tasked with the seemingly never-ending work to maintain the desolate stretch of roadway on which so much depends. Over the last 25 years, the price tag has been in the tens of millions to keep traffic moving on the highway, which has shifted some 50 feet west since 1937.

Of course, landslides are nothing new at the site, which came upon its ominous name when one dubbed Last Chance Slide came down on the original wagon trail built in 1894.

When the current route was started in 1933, the instability was a constant barrier and caused countless delays. While there were discussions even then about moving the road inland, none took root, mainly due to cost.

alternative, with a plan to have work on the necessary environmental documents beginning next year and a draft version going out for public comment in 2023.

“Caltrans will then coordinate with stakeholders as we decide on what alternative to select,” agency spokesman Myles Cochrane said in an email. “We will have an open and engaging process that considers how the alternatives measure up in terms of performance measures that have been selected by stakeholders. Key

performance measures include safe and reliable operations of the highway, impacts to environmental resources and costs to build, mitigate and maintain the finalized route.”

here’s a good reason getting everyone out the door on-time — with their shoes on — can feel like a major accomplishment for parents. It’s more or less the same reason bedtime is the number one topic parents contact me to discuss.

Whether it’s the transition from the living room to the car seat or bath-time to sleep-time, periods of adjustment from one thing to another are times when even the most on-top-of-it parents can find the situation going sideways.

The same strategies I once used in class to get 20 5 year olds happily seated on the rug and ready to read after playing on the swings can get the job done in your home, too.

Right now, as we round out a full year of uncertainty and limitation, packs of kids are readjusting to in-person class just in time to get ready for one of the biggest annual transitions of all: the end of the school year. As a parent or caregiver, you might be looking for ways to make these, and other ordinary changes more manageable.

The most critical thing to keep in mind when addressing transitions is that you and your kids are on the same side.

Even when it seems like your little ones are working against you at every turn, remember your children really aren’t making things difficult at you. They’re being kids.

The minute you lose that perspective you risk slipping into a power struggle, and all power struggles ever achieve is frustration.

Understanding that you are on the same side, you can support your children while remaining in charge.

It’s helpful to remember transitions can be tough for everyone, not just the preschool set. Any of us who have stayed up past our own grown-up bedtimes to watch one more episode of whatever have felt this. The difficult aspects of transitions are amplified for children because they have necessarily shorter attention spans and are neurologically less equipped to regulate their emotions.

As there is loss inherent in all change, even very positive change, kids are likely to have some hefty feelings in response.

This is particularly true for changes that alter the structure of their lives. When you make room for emotional responses, the feelings don’t need to derail the program. Making room for emotions means not immediately trying to fix them or making them shameful. If it’s acceptable to have and to express feelings, the feelings don’t need to become explosive or direct the show.

Transitions go best when adults stick to the plan. Huge, unforeseen catastrophes aside, moving forward with the actions you said you were going to take, when you said you were going to take them, is the real key to smooth progressions from one thing to another. There are psychological reasons why children try to take control of the situation right when you are doing your best to move on to the next thing. It’s the job of the caregiver to continually redirect everyone back to the task at hand, regardless of your charges’ wily diversion tactics. Don’t get distracted — your kids really can be sad and still get in the car. You really can be an invested

parent and still tell your child that you’re excited to hear about this cool thing they learned after they’ve packed their backpack and put on their shoes.

Especially when it’s a big turning point, there’s tremendous value in communicating to children what’s going to happen next. Talk with your kids about changes before they occur, multiple times. Let them ask questions and imagine together what it’s going to be like. One reason that transitions are so anxiety-provoking is that they generally involve moving into something (at least partially) unknown. If you help your children conceptualize the new conditions, you can remove some of the threat.

Finally, cut everyone — including yourself — some slack. It will help just to recognize that transitions take attention and allow yourself enough time. For large, structural changes, accept that your family might be best served by letting some less-pressing tasks go during the adjustment period. This will afford you more energy, time, and a greater emotional capacity to smooth out the change. It can also be very effective to mark significant transitions with some small special event.

Talk it up. Make it meaningful. Balloons at dinnertime, a favorite treat the day before or the weekend after, or watching a movie with sleeping bags in the living room can be just the thing that flips a sad, annoying or scary change into an exciting adventure. ● Lindsay Kessner (she/her) is a longtime nanny, teacher, artist, cat-lover and owner of Treehouse Parent Coaching.

Variant-fueled COVID Surge Continues

P

ublic Health confirmed Humboldt County’s 39th COVID-related death May 4, along with 11 new cases, making 44 so far for the week amid an ongoing surge as the Journal went to press.

Addressing the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors that morning, Hoffman made clear that he believes the surge — which saw the county confirm 137 cases last week and 130 the week before, along with dozens of related hospitalizations — can be attributed to the highly contagious B.1.1.7 variant of the virus, commonly known as the UK variant.

“We had been suspecting that B.1.1.7 was here in Humboldt as early as March but without clear evidence and only a few confirmed cases in the state, it was hard to be sure,” he said. “Now, that evidence is clear. B.1.1.7 is here and it has been here, and now we’re seeing the effects of a more contagious and more virulent form of this coronavirus. Our hospital cases for COVID-19 in the last few weeks of April rival the worst weeks yet of the pandemic for Humboldt County, with those who are younger and healthier getting sicker.”

Hoffman added that the county is seeing younger patients hospitalized, with some admitted to intensive care units, and recently saw a resident under the age of 19 hospitalized for the first time locally. Fur-

ther, Hoffman said the county has had to transfer more patients out of the county in the previous two weeks due to the severity of their illness or a lack of resources to care for them than at any other time during the pandemic.

Humboldt County’s case and test-positivity rates, meanwhile, have gone from some of the best in the state to some of the worst, Hoffman said.

According to a state database, 11 people are currently hospitalized with COVID-19 locally — down from 13 yesterday — including five receiving intensive care.

The May 4 cases were confirmed after laboratories processed 161 samples with a test-positivity rate of 6.8 percent, bringing the county’s cumulative case total to 3,895.

The good news, Hoffman told the board, is that it’s clear what the county must do to reverse current trends — continue masking and physical distancing, while getting as many people vaccinated as possible.

“We need to get vaccinated,” he said.

“There is sufficient vaccine now for everyone. We are not seeing infections in people who are vaccinated. While there are a handful of so-called ‘breakthrough’ cases, none of our sickest patients who are feeling very ill, are hospitalized or are in the ICU, none of them have been vaccinated.

That is the power of this vaccine.”

Another Hazing Allegation: Humboldt State University announced May 4 that it is investigating another alleged hazing incident, just a week after one surfaced involving the university’s softball team. HSU reported that it is looking into potential violations of student and sports club codes of conduct involving its men’s and women’s rugby teams, both of which have been placed on interim suspensions.

The state data showed that Humboldt County has a test positive rate of 6.4 percent (compared to 3.1 percent last week) and a daily case rate of 12.8 per 100,000 compared to the prior week’s 5.9.

California overall, meanwhile, reports a 1.3 percent test-positivity rate and 4.2 cases per 100,000.

Crisis on the Klamath

With too little water to go around, the fighting has begun in a zero-sum game pitting farmers against fish and endangered species against one another

By Jessica Fu

newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

T

he federal government is strictly curtailing irrigation this year in an attempt to protect endangered fish important to Indigenous tribes. Farmers say this will make it all but impossible to farm, while tribal groups say the plan doesn’t go far enough to save their fisheries.

In mid-April, a farming region in southern Oregon began to release water from the Klamath River into its irrigation canals.

According to the local water authority, this was a standard move to jumpstart the farming season during one of the driest seasons in recent memory. But according to the federal government, it was an illegal maneuver that could further jeopardize the survival of multiple endangered species and food sources important to Indigenous tribes and fisheries in the region.

14

Because of severe drought conditions in the region and low snowpack levels, the Upper Klamath Lake — a large, natural reservoir of freshwater that drains into the Klamath River — has experienced historically low inflow this year. That means there’s not enough water to go around for everyone who needs it: tribes that depend on the lake to sustain culturally important species of suckerfish, commercial and tribal fisheries downstream who depend on flow from the lake to support salmon populations, and farmers and ranchers who rely on irrigation to harvest crops.

On April 14, the Bureau of Reclamation (USBR), a federal agency that oversees the Klamath irrigation project, announced that farmers would only get 33,000 acre-feet of water this year due to drought conditions — the lowest allotment in its history. The

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, May 6, 2021 • northcoastjournal.com

project spans from southern Oregon to northern California. For context, farmers say they need 400,000 acre-feet in drought years. That didn’t stop the Klamath Drainage District (KDD) in southern Oregon — a public entity contracted to deliver water in the region — from turning on the spigot for its constituents two days later.

“We tried to hold off [diversion] as long as we could,” said district manager Scott White. White said the district board faced immense pressure to divert water from farmers in the region dealing with low soil moisture. “Our landowners were just champing at the bit.”

White said that the district was accessing water from the Klamath River through a state water permit rather than through the federal government’s allocation, which

he claimed was standard operating procedure. The federal government doesn’t see it that way. In a letter addressed to the district shared with The Counter, USBR ordered White to stop making the diversions, which it called unlawful. “[The] water that is currently in the Klamath River is committed to satisfying the Endangered Species Act (ESA), an obligation that supersedes irrigation deliveries and rights,” the agency wrote. “Therefore, KDD’s diversion of water … is contrary to the ESA and may subject KDD to legal action if it does not immediately cease diversions.”

The releases mean that there’s less water to go around for everyone else who needs it, in a year where there was already little to begin with. According to a USBR spokesperson, the agency is making up

for the diversions by releasing more water from the lake. However, tribes and commercial fishermen downriver are worried that prolonged diversions will reduce river flow long-term, in turn exacerbating poor environmental conditions and further harming salmon populations that they depend on for food, income and ceremonial practices.

“It felt very, very disappointing that individuals would take actions, such as to illegally divert water, when there is so much pain being felt throughout the basin for communities who aren’t getting the flows or the water levels necessary for their communities,” said Frankie Myers, vice-chair of the Yurok tribe. “It felt like a pretty selfish act.”

Salmon are a culturally and economically important species for the Yurok.

But poor river flow, pollution, disease and dams that obstruct movement have all played a role in the decline of the Klamath River’s salmon population.

Every year, a coalition of tribal representatives, fishermen and community and environmental advocates sets catch limits on salmon in the region in order to maintain long-term viability. Three decades ago, Myers recalls, Yurok families could each harvest hundreds of fish from the Klamath River, enough to sustain themselves for a year. This year, he estimates that the tribe will be allocated the equivalent of one fish per person, raising concerns about food sovereignty. The water shortage also exacerbates the woes of non-tribal commercial fisheries. For years, the region has put in place strict quotas to conserve salmon populations. Earlier this month, the coalition closed off commercial fishing in the region completely.

“It’s really a very sad situation,” said Glen Spain, northwest regional director for the Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen’s Associations, which represents West Coast commercial fishermen. “I understand how people get desperate, but violating the law and stealing your neighbor’s water is not the way to solve this problem.”

Not only does the water shortage pit agricultural interests against the needs of communities downriver — the scarcity also puts the survival of different endangered species in conflict with one another.

Shortly before USBR announced this year’s allocations, the Klamath Tribes — which are a separate tribal nation from the Yurok and have senior water rights in the Upper Klamath Lake — filed a lawsuit against the agency. The tribes are accusing USBR of letting the lake’s water levels fall below minimum thresholds required by the Endangered Species Act for two years in a row. This, in turn, puts two spiritually important suckerfish species, the C’waam

and Koptu, at risk of extinction, the lawsuit reads. The tribes are demanding that USBR more than halve the average rate of water flow out of the lake until it recovers to a minimum threshold set by the Fish and Wildlife Service. That action, in turn, would mean less abundant flows for farmers and salmon fisheries downriver.

Someone loses, no matter what.

“The Klamath Tribes certainly believe that everything should be done to satisfy all of the biological needs of all of the species,” said Jay Weiner, attorney for the Klamath Tribes. Weiner points out that salmon are also significant for the Klamath Tribes, which retain fishing rights to them.

“The difficulty we find ourselves in this particular year is that there is not enough water in the system to do that. And under those conditions, we believe that the needs of the C’waam and Koptu, as much more critically endangered and vulnerable species, need to come first.”

For some, the diversions are reminiscent of a painful chapter in the region’s history. In 2001, USBR curtailed irrigation to farms to prioritize the survival of endangered fish in compliance with the Endangered Species Act. Farmers responded by physically forcing open irrigation gates and even staging a symbolic “bucket brigade,” in which residents manually diverted water from the river via buckets passed from person to person along a human chain. The next year, Washington Post reported, Vice President Dick Cheney personally lobbied the Bureau of Reclamation to release water to farmers — a move that resulted in the largest salmon die-off recorded in the region.

Growing resentment from farmers has caused some to worry about potential violence this year. Last Thursday, the “People’s Rights” group announced a call to farmers and ranchers in the basin to “STAND UP AND PROTECT YOUR PRIVATE PROPERTY, YOUR WATER!” People’s Rights is the far-right militia group founded by Ammon Bundy, known for leading a takeover of a federal wildlife refuge in 2016.

“I’m worried about it,” said Craig Tucker, a natural resources consultant for the Karuk tribe, another downriver community that depends on the salmon for food.

“The politics here in the Klamath, just like in the rest of the country, are pretty volatile.”

Farmers and ranchers commonly frame USBR’s obligations under the Endangered Species Act as a form of “single-species management” that prioritizes conservation efforts to the detriment of other interests.

“We’re looking at not being able to produce crops this year,” said Ben Duval,

More power, from a place you can trust.

Richard Heim, NOAA/NCEI

president of the Klamath Water Users Association and farmer in Tulelake, California. “When that’s what you do for a living, it makes it pretty tough.”

It’s worth noting USBR and USDA have set aside $25 million in relief funds to help farmers in the region recover drought-related losses. In addition, farmers who have opted into crop insurance and disaster assistance programs may also be able to recover some of their expenses through those avenues, as well. However, Duval said, relief money doesn’t accurately reflect the true loss of farming, which can have a multiplier effect within local economies.

Many people I spoke with believe that today’s water crisis is a catastrophe created by the federal government, which historically overcommitted the region’s water resources and is now under-delivering to all stakeholders. Environmentalists point out that these kinds of crises are likely to become more common in the future, as the climate crisis reduces snowpack in the mountains and drought conditions become more frequent.

“There’s got to be some retreat in the Klamath Basin,” said Dan Tarlock, a professor emeritus of environmental law at the Illinois Institute of Technology, who has written extensively about water conflicts in the basin. “I think it’s pretty clear there’s not enough water to support the existing

level of agriculture.”

This year’s water crisis just might spur some dialogue on what a sustainable level of farming in the region should look like in the long-term. Last Wednesday, in response to unprecedented water shortages in the West, the White House announced that it would create an interagency task force, led by Secretaries of the Interior Deb Haaland and Agriculture Tom Vilsack, to “explore opportunities to improve our nation’s resilience to droughts.”

Until then, the ongoing crisis may continue to raise tensions in the region, and even lead some to obtain limited water resources by any means necessary.

As of April 27, according to live discharge data from the U.S. Geological Survey, the Klamath Drainage District continued to divert water from the river at a rate of 200 cubic feet per second. l Jessica Fu (she/her) is a staff writer for The Counter.

atching frybread go from a fist of pale dough pulled from a bucket to its final form, cumulus in shape and caramel in color, is like watching up-close magic. In a straw hat with a kitchen towel hanging from her shoulder, Lisa Sundberg pats, then pulls the dough with practiced hands, turning it to stretch under its own weight, pinching a few holes and laying it gently into the hot vegetable oil, where it bubbles and puffs, the oil shush-ing like distant applause.

Frybread itself is a feat of metamorphosis. In Native communities across the U.S., frybread is a staple and a comfort food born from displacement and the destruction of traditional resources and foodways that were replaced by government commodity foods, dating back to the Navajo people’s “Long March” from their homelands to New Mexico. “The government made us make frybread,” says Kayla Maulson, Sundberg’s daughter and owner of the Frybread Love stand newly opened outside Cher-Ae Heights Casino.

“We were only given commodities … my dad said he grew up on commodities; they were given powdered milk, sugar, flour, salt.” From those rations came what Sundberg calls “a delicacy,” a base for a hearty chili taco, a jam-schmeared treat crispier and chewier than doughnuts, a satisfying comfort eaten plain and warm.

“It really is the shared experience across Indian country,” says Sundberg, who is Yurok.

Maulson, who studied childhood development and American Indian education, as well as business at Humboldt State University, was looking for something she could do while staying home with her two kids after the pandemic hit. Finally, the urgings of old rugby teammates and coworkers who’d been eating her family’s frybread for years got through and she started Frybread Love with help from her family, including her mother, her sister Aliesha Brown and cousin Emma Sundberg.

By the time they packed up the tent the first night in front of the Cher-Ae Heights Casino, Maulson estimates they’d sold 200 orders. The next night it was triple that.

Now, along with nights at the casino, she’s arranged a spot at the McKinleyville Farmers Market and is working on Arcata.

The ingredient list is short: flour, salt, sugar, baking powder and water. Maulson says her first try at frybread was making it for her father when her mother was out of town and she was 8 or 9. She’d mistakenly added cups of sugar rather than teaspoons. “But I was so happy he still ate it.” She’s got it down now but her mother remains the go-to frybread person in the family.

“I can finally accept that title,” says Sundberg. “I remember my first roll at fry

bread … it was like the bottom of a shoe.”

Technique, Sundberg says, is everything.

Working in the gaming industry helping design cash access systems, she traveled to Native-owned casinos all over the country, sampling frybread and asking questions.

Mixing, emulsifying and kneading methods were a little different everywhere, with some regions using yeast or shaping the dough differently.

Sundberg and Maulson worked with Rhonda Beck of Beck’s Bakery to source freshly stone-milled flour with higher amounts of gluten and protein. When allowed to rise for two hours, the result is a delicate chewiness, crisp exterior and fluffy center.

The printed menu has an Indian taco with chili, cheese, lettuce and tomato, and a couple of sweet options, Nutella and powdered sugar. Both curious first-timers and those who grew up eating it order the plain bread. “It’s just a cherry on top having anything else with it,” says Maulson. She herself loves peanut butter and jelly. But the women are batting around all kinds of additions. Maulson, who’s also Ojibwe, notes that in the Midwest, frybread is sometimes served with wild rice and chicken soup. Her mother had served pork sliders with apple slaw on frybread and they’re hoping to work with local farmers on ingredients like blackberries and huckleberries.

According to Maulson and Sundberg, frybread isn’t something you make unless you’re serving 15 people. At Maulson’s grandmother’s family gatherings, 100 pieces, enough for dinner and dessert, would be standard. But a big gathering isn’t hard to come by for her family. “We have Grandma next door, we have Uncle down the hill, so we’re making it for at least 20 people. … You want to share it all, you’ve got a big huge pot of chili you’re making it with. You bring all your cousins or your

aunties over. ‘Come over for a barbecue, we’re making frybread.’”

Maulson and Sundberg’s family is among those who provide food for cultural events and ceremonies, too, like the annual Sumeg Brush Dance. There, community members share traditional foods like eel, acorn, salmon and frybread.

They bring enough to feed the dancers, attendees and campers, sometimes up to 300 people. “I think that’s what everyone’s missed this past year,” says Maulson. “I really do miss the dances and staying up all night with the girls and hearing the songs.” They also cook for the recently revived girls’ Flower Dance coming-of-age ceremony, in which Maulson was among the first participants after its decades of dormancy.

Those ceremonies have been absent from local Native life since the COVID-19 pandemic put gatherings on hold. But the frybread is a taste of those days and dinners when people could come together to share traditions and meals that carry their shared history.

“We love frybread,” says Sundberg. “We love feeding people and we need that love to spread, to use frybread as a seed of love to reach out and hopefully bring us together again.” ● Jennifer Fumiko Cahill (she/her) is the arts and features editor at the Journal.

The leaves tell us when the plants are ready. For all seed-bearing plants, the first three leaves aren’t their true leaves; rather, they’re called cotyledons (from Latin meaning “seed leaf”). The true leaves are usually darker and larger. Of course, you’ve hardened off all of your little seedlings by now, right? If not, you need to do that first — get them adapted to being outside their protective starting place, whether greenhouse, windowsill, or just some small pots on your deck or balcony.

Temperature

We’ve had some pretty frosty nights here on the coast, cooler than our usual temperatures, so it may be a little early to put those transplants out just yet.

Soil temperature

It’s best to wait until the soil temperature is about 50 degrees or so, especially for warm weather crops (tomatoes and peppers, which are a challenge to grow

outdoors on the coast unless you have the variety that does well in cooler weather).

You can purchase a soil thermometer at your local garden center, or you can just stick your hand in the dirt and see if it feels like an ice cube. If it does, it’s too cold to plant.

So let’s say we’ve checked all these things and it’s time to transplant. You can transplant directly into the ground or you can put your seedlings in pots, depending on the space.

But first, the soil. You want to give your plants the best possible chance to get big and strong, so you need the soil to be prepped — definitely weed it first. If the soil is crappy, add some compost or well-rotted manure, and mix well. Doing this a week or so before transplanting can be helpful, but it’s not necessary as long as you amend the soil prior to planting.

Now it’s time to plant. The best way to not damage the sweet little seedlings is to pinch the bottom of the cell the plant is in (if you used plastic pots), then gently lift it, root ball and all, out of the cell. Handle gently by the leaves if you can because you can easily damage the stem if you grab it there instead. Try to retain as much of the soil and the roots as possible when you put it in the ground. Make sure the hole is big enough and deep enough for the plant start, then gently replace the

soil around the plant. Water in with some diluted fish emulsion or some compost tea to give it some extra nutrients. Since we haven’t had a lot of rain in April, it’s going to be important to keep the plants watered, but don’t overdo it. You can kill a plant with too much water just as easily as you can by depriving it of water. Now is also a good time to spread that Sluggo around, especially for tender plants like lettuce, greens and, well, anything that slugs like to eat (basically everything in my garden). Keep up with the Sluggo, especially if we do end up getting more rain this month and next. It’s easier to battle the slugs when they are small, rather than when they get big and fat, and come out at night to mow down all of your carefully nurtured seedlings. Ask me how I know.

There are a few plants that benefit from planting deeper than you think you may need to. Tomatoes are a good example.

Again, make sure you’re growing a variety that does well in our cool climate if you’re here on the coast. Inland growers have more choices in tomatoes since it gets so much warmer there.

I take the very tiny bottom leaves off but you don’t need to do this. Plant the tomato all the way up to the first set of leaves. Tomatoes can create roots all along the stem when you plant them this way and it makes for a stronger plant that can draw up nutrients better.

Some seedlings come several to a pot — many summer squashes come this way at the nursery. It’s not a bad idea to just plop the whole thing in the hole because odds are one or two of the plants won’t make it. Do not plant a gazillion seedlings in one spot, however. This can happen if you’ve started your own seeds and didn’t have the heart to thin out the extra when they started growing. Crowding will not benefit the plants — rather, it will hinder growth.

Finally, spacing. Speaking from personal experience, here’s where we all go a little bananas when transplanting: It’s tempting to put those little tiny plants right next to each other but it’s crucial to give them the space they need to grow. The seed packet (or tag on the six pack, if you purchased the plants rather than seeds) should give you some clues about spacing. Make sure you’ve planted your starts in a spot that gets at least six hours of sun, more for plants that require a lot of light. Lettuces, kales and other greens can do fine in six hours of light, tomatoes not so much.

Make sure you’ve watered the transplants well and watch them grow! ●

FISHING THE NORTH COAST

Breezy Start to the Saltwater Season

By Kenny Priest

M

fishing@northcoastjournal.com other Nature can be so cruel. In the week leading up to Saturday’s rockfish and Pacific halibut openers, ocean conditions out of Eureka were pristine. Then, as if someone was playing a bad joke, the north winds picked up and the ocean swells grew steep, spoiling the weekend plans of the Eureka fleet. That’s the bad news. The good news is the seas have since subsided and boats will be headed out through Humboldt Bay Wednesday in search of the season’s first haul of halibut and rockfish.

But the weather window could be small.

Winds will begin to pick up Friday and the weekend is again looking very breezy.

There’s plenty of season ahead of us and this won’t be the last time Mother Nature has her way.

Sunday is looking similar, with winds out of the north 15 to 25 knots. Waves will be northwest 10 feet at 9 seconds.

These conditions can and will change by the weekend. For an up-to-date weather forecast, visit www.

“We made a couple of moves before the noaa.gov/eka/swan. You can also call the weather go too bad.” Huber was back on National Weather Service at 443-7062 or the water Monday and found plenty of the office on Woodley Island at 443-6484. hungry rockfish and a few lingcod south near the Sisters.

Razor clam fishery opens back up in Del Norte

Shelter Cove

After a five-year closure, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife director has re-opened the recreational razor clam fishery in Del Norte County following a recommendation from state health agencies that the consumption of razor clams in the area no longer poses a significant threat for domoic acid exposure according to a press release issued Friday. During the closure, state health agencies have continued to assess domoic acid levels in razor clams. Razor clams have consistently exceeded the federal action level of 20 parts per million.

However, clams recently collected from Crescent City in March and April 2021 all had lower concentrations. CDFW, the California Department of Public Health and the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment continue to monitor domoic acid in razor clams to determine when the recreational fishery in Humboldt County can be opened safely. Visit www.wildlife.ca.gov/ Fishing/Ocean/Regulations/Sport-Fishing/ Invertebrate-Fishing-Regs#mollusks for specific razor clam regulations.

Weekend marine forecast

Breezy conditions are once again in the forecast for the weekend. Saturday is calling for north winds 15 to 25 knots with waves out of the northwest 9 feet at 10 seconds.

The Oceans:

Brookings rockfish update

The wind was howling all weekend, which kept most of the boats off the water according to Jake Mitchell of Sea Hawk Sport Fishing. He said, “Jared Morris of C’Mon Sport Fishing and one other boat made a quick run to the rockfish grounds Saturday morning and found some hungry rockfish. Each boat came home with one ling apiece. The weather looks decent starting Wednesday before the wind comes back on Saturday.”

“Rough ocean conditions put a damper on the halibut opener out of Brookings as well as the Point St. George Reef opener south of the border,” said Andy Martin of Brookings Fishing Charters. “The inshore reefs still produced limits of rockfish and a few lingcod during the windy weekend.

Calmer conditions are expected Wednesday before a storm brushes the area Thursday and Friday.”

Trinidad

A few spring salmon were caught on the lower Rogue after last week’s rain but overall catch rates remain poor, reports Martin. “This year’s springer run has been well below average. Rogue anglers looking for action are waiting with anticipation for the salmon fly hatch on the upper river, which produces the best trout fishing of the year,” added Martin.

Captain Curt Wilson, who runs Wind Rose Charters, was able to put clients on limits of black rockfish and crab over the weekend. “We only had a to hit a couple spots towards Patrick’s Point to score limits of quality black rockfish,” said Wilson.

“Conditions weren’t great but we were able to get in and out early before the wind picked up. We’ll have a little more time this week to look around for some variety as conditions will be much better.”

Crescent City

Despite the conditions, a few boats trudged their way to the rockfish grounds before the winds came up Saturday. Steve Huber, who runs Crescent City Fishing Charters, battled minus tides and rough water to put his clients on some quality rockfish. “We started north of the harbor

Hominids and Homicide Sasquatch goes into the woods

By Grant Scott-Goforth screens@northcoastjournal.com

SASQUATCH. I imagined a collective groan when trailers for Hulu’s Sasquatch rolled across screens on the North Coast. Another exploitative, sensationalist “documentary” on the Emerald Triangle to make a buck off a bunch of curious outsiders, great.

That wouldn’t be unfair, given the impact of Murder Mountain. We’re a proud and insular bunch, not necessarily unfriendly to outsiders but certainly to the misconceptions that breed outside of the redwood curtain.

I didn’t watch Murder Mountain and, unlike this column’s regular writer, I have largely steered clear of the true crime/documentary boom of the streaming age. I enjoyed the podcast Serial, an honest exploration of the journalistic process, a messy, ambiguous journey fraught with uncertainty. My few other forays into the contemporary genre — Three Identical Strangers, Making a Murderer — left me incensed with their careless and borderline unethical treatment of the subjects and their stories.

But back to Sasquatch, which, for its faults, is an astute, entertaining portrait of a quirky, dangerous, insular community most North Coast viewers are familiar with. The three-part series, directed by Joshua Rofé (Lorena), begins with journalist David Holthouse recounting a nearly 30-year-old experience that haunts him.

In the fall of 1993, he was working a cannabis farm off Spy Rock Road in Northern Mendocino County. One night, sheltering from a rainstorm in the owner’s A-frame cabin, two very spooked neighbors arrived, saying that Bigfoot had brutally killed some Mexican farm workers at a grow down the road. Holthouse and a friend clearly remember their visitors’ fear, and the deluge of stories about the area being terrorized by Bigfoots.

Holthouse never believed Bigfoot murdered the men, but couldn’t shake that memory or his curiosity.

The first episode explores the Bigfoot angle. He interviews all of the cryptozo-

Anything you have to say to me you can say in front of him. Sasquatch ological heavyweights: local legend James “Bobo” Fay (of Animal Planet’s Finding Bigfoot), professor Jeff Meldrum, Bob Gimlin (of the Patterson-Gimlin Film fame), as well as a neighbor of Gimlin’s who claims to be the man in the suit in that recognizable clip.

The true believers are canny interview subjects, though Holthouse clearly doesn’t believe. They also provide the foundation for Sasquatch’s biggest strength: an exploration of mythmaking, dark truths, belief and how these ancient human constructs play out in a small community’s consciousness.

Holthouse himself is interesting material.

A survivor of childhood sexual assault, he translated the feelings of worthlessness brought on by trauma into a fearlessness he’s applied to gonzo journalism, making himself welcome among criminal enterprises, neo-Nazis and gutter punks. “Stalking monsters was a recurring thing for me,” he says.

His unsettling charisma and wit make his infiltrations believable, and he spends much of the documentary driving rural backroads or holed up in a road motel, giving off Dale-Cooper-doppelganger vibes.

As the series progresses, Holthouse delves deeper into the 1990s grow scene of Spy Rock, which was rumored to be largely under Hell’s Angel control, with back-tothe-landers being replaced by increasingly militarized mega-growers. This change is, of course, in conjunction with the highly militarized CAMP operations that saw heavily armed law enforcement teams raiding and razing all over the North Coast.

Sasquatch summarizes the tensions of this era well, and interviews with former CAMP members show how little has been learned from that costly, misguided approach. Holthouse and interviewees also provide a good, if brief, history of the brutality that white settlers — after gold, then timber — brought to the area, and the parallels within the cannabis industry.

Tensions between white and Latinx growers becomes a central point in Holthouse’s search for what happened to the three

men in 1993, who were never found.

Holthouse’s interviews with people from the ’90s Northern Mendocino scene — including Razor, who was born into the Hell’s Angels and is now in the legal industry near the Salton Sea; and Ghostdance, an idiosyncratic grower — lead him to people who heard similar tales of murder on Spy Rock.

He eventually hones in on a pair of big-timers, Bigfoot Gary and &^%#, a source who is never named. The filmmakers ratchet up the suspense, as Holthouse conducts interviews with anonymous sources in motel rooms, squalid grows and Laytonville parking lots.

In the end, Holthouse is forced to go back to his 1993 memory. Like Serial, I appreciate that Sasquatch does not shy away from the ambiguities of the search for truth. Memory is a tricky thing and a pre-internet, secretive, drug-laden community only tangles the story more.

There are missteps locals will easily spot, like the attempt to make the redwood forest an ominous character with spooky music over B-roll of misty canopies and dark, winding roads. Never mind how much of Bigfoot lore and interest focuses on more inland areas.

The pixelated faces and recreated phone calls become a bit much by the third episode, and, in one inane moment, Holthouse enters a sheriff ’s office with a hidden camera, then promptly asks (and receives) permission to record the detective’s conversation. Why try to appear covert?

Regardless, Sasquatch’s three episodes are well crafted and never feels like it’s wasting your time. Sure it’s sensational — it’s about Bigfoot and illegal drugs in the 1990s. But it doesn’t paint all of the Emerald Triangle with a broad brush. It focuses on a small area and explores how powerful mythmaking can be within and beyond its borders. TVMA. 138M.

Not So Dark Ages

By Barry Evans

fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com

A

“

ll the objects shone in the sunshine as on the day they were buried.” — Basil Brown’s diary, August of 1939.

Britain’s “Dark Ages” may have formally ended in a field in Suffolk, England, on July 21, 1939. That’s when archaeologist Peggy Piggott uncovered a tiny gold pyramid encrusted with garnets from the Sutton Hoo ship burial. Within days, the excavators had discovered a fabulous Anglo-Saxon hoard of precious metal objects. They had been buried alongside a local king, Raedwald, within a 90-foot-long ship. He died in 624 A.D., thus dating the site to nearly 1,500 years ago.

The so-called “Dark Ages” weren’t dark any more. In one stroke, Sutton Hoo changed archaeologists’ understanding of early English culture. If the inhabitants of fifth-century Britain (in the middle of “the darkest of the Dark Ages,” according to the Oxford Illustrated Histories) were capable of making, or acquiring by trade, such intricate objects — see illustration — buried with their king, they can hardly be considered as anything other than enlightened. Check out The Dig, a dramatized version of the find (with Ralph Fiennes as Basil Brown, the working-class “excavator,” and Carrie Mulligan as landowner Edith Pretty), reviewed by John Bennett in the Journal (“Digging Up the Past,” Feb. 4). And if and when you visit London, treat yourself to a day at the British Museum, including an hour upstairs in Room 41, which houses the European Medieval collection. The literal

centerpiece of this room is the Sutton Hoo ship burial, with nearly 300 pieces on display.

To be fair, almost no one now uses the term “Dark Ages.” It originated with the worldly Tuscan scholar Petrarch, writing in the 1330s. Believing himself to be living in an age of darkness (despite the Renaissance), he looked back longingly to the enlightened and cultured “classic ages” of ancient Greece and Rome. Later writers identified Dark Age Europe as the time between about 500 and 1100 A.D., when records were few and classical learning all but lost. The Fall of Rome in 476 A.D. is usually given as the start of the collapse, even though subsequent Germanic kings maintained many of the Roman traditions (including the Senate), while the Eastern Roman Empire, centered in Constantinople, survived for another millennium.

Modern historians, in avoiding the term “Dark Ages,” refer instead to the Early Middle Ages. Not only do we now know much more about those times from archaeology, paleography and other fields of study, but ask yourself: Does an age that gave us Charlemagne, the Abbasid Golden Age of Islam, Beowulf, The Book of Kells, Peter Abelard, Hildegard of Bingen, Avicenna and more really deserve the label “dark?”

And for that matter, were the dysfunctional, slave-holding, warring Greeks and Romans all that enlightened? l Barry Evans (he/him, barryevans9@ yahoo.com) swears his infatuation with Carrie Mulligan has absolutely nothing to do with his enjoyment of The Dig.

THE LAND REFERRED TO HEREIN BELOW IS SITUATED IN THE UNIN− CORPORATED AREA IN COUNTY OF HUMBOLDT, STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND IS DESCRIBED AS FOLLOWS:

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should under− stand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to fee and clear ownership of the prop− erty. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this infor− mation. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

purpose of freeing Mykal James Laferriere for placement for adop− tion. The following information concerns rights and procedures Continued onproceeding next page that relate to this for» the termination of custody and control of said minor as set forth in Family Code Section 7860 et seq.: 1. At the beginning of the proceeding the court will consider whether or not the interests of the minor child require the appoint− ment of counsel. If the court finds that the interests of the minor do require such protection, the court will appoint counsel to represent them, whether or not they are able to afford counsel. The minors will not be present in court unless the court so orders.

2. If a parent of the minor appears without counsel and is unable to afford counsel, the court must appoint counsel for the parent, unless the parent knowingly and intelligently waives the right to be represented by counsel. The court will not appoint the same counsel to represent both the minor and his parent.

3. The court may appoint private counsel. If private counsel is appointed, he or she will receive a reasonable sum for compensation and expenses, the amount of which will be determined by the court.

That amount must be paid by the real parties in interest, but not by the minor, in such proportions as the court believes to be just. If, however, the court finds that any real parties in interest cannot afford counsel, the amount will be paid by the County.

4. The court may continue the proceeding for not more than thirty (30) days as necessary to appoint counsel to become acquainted with the case.

The Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) solicits technical information or comments on proposed flood hazard determinations for the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), and where applicable, the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report for your community.

These determinations are the basis for the floodplain management measures that your community is required to adopt or show evidence of having in effect to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program.

For more information on the proposed flood hazard determinations and information on the statutory 90-day period provided for appeals, please visit FEMA’s website at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/ BFE_Status/bfe_main.asp, or call the FEMA Mapping and Insurance eXchange (FMIX) toll free at 1-877-FEMA MAP (1-877-336-2627).

Homework: The Dream of the Month Club wants to hear about your best nightly dreams. Truthrooster@gmail.com

freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): Created by Leonardo da Vinci in the 16th century, the Mona Lisa is one of the world’s most famous paintings. It’s hanging in the Louvre museum in Paris.

In that same museum is a less renowned version of the Mona Lisa. It depicts the same woman, but she’s unclothed. Made by da Vinci’s student, it was probably inspired by a now-lost nude Mona Lisa painted by the master himself. Renaissance artists commonly created “heavenly” and “vulgar” versions of the same subject. I suggest that in the coming weeks you opt for the “vulgar” Mona Lisa, not the “heavenly” one, as your metaphor of power. Favor what’s earthy, raw and unadorned over what’s spectacular, idealized and polished.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus poet Vera Pavlova writes, “Why is the word yes so brief? It should be the longest, the hardest, so that you could not decide in an instant to say it, so that upon reflection you could stop in the middle of saying it.”

I suppose it makes sense for her to express such an attitude, given the fact that she never had a happy experience until she was 20 years old, and that furthermore, this happiness was “unbearable.” (She confessed these sad truths in an interview.)

But I hope you won’t adopt her hard-edged skepticism toward YES anytime soon, Taurus. In my view, it’s time for you to become a connoisseur of YES, a brave explorer of the bright mysteries of YES, an exuberant perpetrator of YES. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In Indigenous cultures from West Africa to Finland to China, folklore describes foxes as crafty tricksters with magical powers. Sometimes they’re thought of as perpetrators of pranks, but more often they are considered helpful messengers or intelligent allies. I propose that you regard the fox as your spirit creature for the foreseeable future.

I think you will benefit from the influence of your inner fox — the wild part of you that is ingenious, cunning, and resourceful.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “The universe conspires in your favor,” writes author Neale Donald Welsch. “It consistently places before you the right and perfect people, circumstances, and situations with which to answer life’s only question: ‘Who are you?’” In my book Pronoia Is the Antidote for Paranoia: How the Whole World Is Conspiring to Shower You with Blessings, I say much the same thing, although I mention two further questions that life regularly asks, which are: 1. What can you do next to liberate yourself from some of your suffering?

2. What can you do next to reduce the suffering of others, even by a little? As you enter a phase when you’ll get ample cosmic help in diminishing suffering and defining who you are, I hope you meditate on these questions every day.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The poet Anne Sexton wrote a letter to a Benedictine monk whose real identity she kept secret from the rest of us. She told him, “There are a few great souls in my life. They are not many. They are few. You are one.” In this spirit, Leo, and in accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to take an inventory of the great souls in your life: the people you admire and respect and learn from and feel grateful for; people with high integrity and noble intentions; people who are generous with their precious gifts. When you’ve compiled your list, I encourage you to do as Sexton did: Express your appreciation; perhaps even send no-strings-attached gifts. Doing these things will have a profoundly healing effect on you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “It’s a temptation for any intelligent person to try to murder the primitive, emotive, appetitive self,” writes author Donna Tartt. “But that is a mistake. Because it is dangerous to ignore the existence of the irrational.” I’m sending this message out to you, Virgo, because in the coming weeks it will be crucial for you to honor the parts of your life that can’t be managed through rational thought alone. I suggest you have sacred fun as you exult in the mysterious, welcome the numinous, explore the wildness within you, unrepress big feelings you’ve

buried and marvel adoringly about your deepest yearnings.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Science writer Sharman Apt Russell provides counsel that I think you should consider adopting in the coming days. The psychospiritual healing you require probably won’t be available through the normal means, so some version of her proposal may be useful: “We may need to be cured by flowers. We may need to strip naked and let the petals fall on our shoulders, down our bellies, against our thighs. We may need to lie naked in fields of wildflowers. We may need to walk naked through beauty. We may need to walk naked through color. We may need to walk naked through scent.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): As Scorpio author Margaret Atwood reminds us, “Water is not a solid wall; it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, being like water will be an excellent strategy for you to embrace during the coming weeks. “Water is patient,” Atwood continues. “Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember you are half water. If you can’t go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In a letter to a friend in 1856, Sagittarian poet Emily Dickinson confessed she was feeling discombobulated because of a recent move to a new home.

She hoped she would soon regain her bearings. “I am out with lanterns, looking for myself,” she quipped, adding that she couldn’t help laughing at her disorientation. She signed the letter “From your mad Emilie,” intentionally misspelling her own name. I’d love it if you approached your current doubt and uncertainty with a similar light-heartedness and poise. (PS: Soon after writing this letter, Dickinson began her career as a poet in earnest, reading extensively and finishing an average of one poem every day for many years.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Now is a favorable time to celebrate both life’s changeableness and your own. The way we are all constantly called on to adjust to unceasing transformations can sometimes be a wearying chore, but I suspect it could be at least interesting and possibly even exhilarating for you in the coming weeks. For inspiration, study this message from the “Welcome to Night Vale” podcast: “You are never the same twice, and much of your unhappiness comes from trying to pretend that you are. Accept that you are different each day, and do so joyfully, recognizing it for the gift it is.

Work within the desires and goals of the person you are currently, until you aren’t that person anymore.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian author Toni Morrison described two varieties of loneliness. The first “is a loneliness that can be rocked. Arms crossed, knees drawn up; holding, holding on, this motion smooths and contains the rocker.” The second “is a loneliness that roams. No rocking can hold it down. It is alive, on its own.” Neither kind is better or worse, of course, and both are sometimes necessary as a strategy for self-renewal — as a means for deepening and fine-tuning one’s relationship with oneself.

I recommend either or both for you in the coming weeks.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): England’s Prince Charles requires his valet to iron his shoelaces and put toothpaste on his toothbrush and wash all of his clothes by hand. I could conceivably interpret the current astrological omens to mean that you should pursue similar behavior in the coming weeks. I could, but I won’t. Instead, I will suggest that you solicit help about truly important matters, not meaningless trivia like shoelace ironing.

For example, I urge you to ask for the support you need as you build bridges, seek harmony, and make interesting connections. l

Engaging with the local public and visitors will be a primary aspect of this position, by providing information as well as protection to those who utilize the City’s abundant and varied public recreational areas.

This sworn, working-level law enforcement class performs all non-supervisory assignments found in a municipal police department and is exclusively assigned to the City’s parks, trails, harbor, and waterfront areas for patrol and all functional areas of the law enforcement field, with a highly visible and engaging community presence.
