ournalism awards — selected by our peers at newspapers throughout the state — are always welcome. By no means are they the goal or the motivation, but once received, it’s a nice affirmation to have a group of judges look at your work and how it stacks up against those of other similar papers throughout the state and say, “This stands out.”

But this year’s somehow feel more special.

Maybe it’s just that we — like everyone — are worn, battered and tired after 14-plus months of pandemic living and collective loss, but news last week that the Journal had won six California Newspaper Publisher’s Associations Better Newspaper Contest awards felt like a ray of sunshine. We like to think that’s because it’s a sign that even as a black swan event upended each of our lives — and the newspaper’s financial stability until a federal Paycheck Protection Program staunched the bleeding and steadied the ship — we were still able to deliver important work to a community that was counting on it.

It’s also important to note these represent a lot of hard work by not only the Journal’s editorial and design teams, but everyone in the building. Though they don’t get bylines or credits in print, the Journal’s dedicated administration, advertising reps and office staff fuel everything we do as a company.

With all that said, here’s the work CNPA’s judges felt worth of recognition: First place, coverage of youth and education: “Reaching for Resilience” by Iridian Casarez. It’s hard to overstate how proud we are of this Oct. 1, 2020, cover story looking at the reverberating impacts of Humboldt County’s high rates of childhood trauma and efforts to turn the tide. After earning a fellowship at the University of Southern California Annenberg Center for Health Journalism (which had to shift to remote instruction), Casarez spent months researching trauma on the North Coast and intervention models, then how they were impacted by the pandemic. “Great writing/reporting,” wrote one judge. “This is how you take facts and figures and weave them into a story.” We couldn’t agree more.

First place, informational graphic: “Measure R” by Jonathan Webster. If a picture’s worth 1,000 words, a good infographic is worth 4,000. This one deftly illustrated what was at stake with a local ballot measure intended to increase funding for the Arcata Fire Protection District.

Second place, informational graphic: “The Cost of Childhood Trauma” by Jonathan Webster. How do you illustrate the correlation between high rates of childhood trauma — things like neglect, abuse or an

incarcerated parent — and negative health impacts, from alcoholism and homelessness to school suspension rates and suicide? We didn’t know. Thankfully, Webster did.

First Place, front page layout and design.

Webster, the Journal’s art director, used art and technical instructions from numerous sources to put together cover designs capturing the urgency of a story about missing and murdered Indigenous women, depicting a masked and solitary bigfoot for a story detailing the need for residents to stay distanced and masked, and — our favorite — a detailed template instructing readers how to make masks at home weeks before facial coverings were mandated by the county and state. “Beautifully executed concepts across the board, with typography perfectly matching tone,” one judge wrote. “Loved the wrap-around mask template.”

Third Place, arts and entertainment coverage by Journal staff. Guided by arts and features editor Jennifer Fumiko Cahill, the Journal has become a perennial finalist in this category. This year’s award holds a special place, however, because staff had to grapple with how to cover arts and entertainment — capturing the vitality, creativity and beauty of our community — while we were all apart and galleries, venues and theaters were closed. And we were especially pleased to see a judge’s nod to our “extensive calendar,” as we know just how hard calendar editor Kali Cozyris worked to find a plethora og virtual events that kept readers entertained and connected when they needed it most.

First Place, coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic fallout by Journal staff. The pandemic’s impact was the single biggest story facing just about every community and every newspaper in the state, so it’s obviously a huge honor to take this award. And Cahill deserves a huge hat tip here, as it was her coverage of local businesses — restaurants and bars, particularly — that allowed us to document the pandemic’s toll on business owners, employees and local residents.

Lastly, we’d be remiss if we didn’t take this opportunity to thank you, our readers, without whom we wouldn’t get to do this thing we love. And a special thank you to those of you who ponied up with memberships to support the paper and those who recently took time out of your lives to fill out our reader survey, which will help us improve and expand on what we do.

Finding a System for All Editor: As a retired Humboldt State University accounting and sustainable business professor, I have explored economic theory and one thing is clear to me — our current model of capitalism isn’t working for all, nor is it helping the planet. Capitalism is just one way in which humans exchange resources and get their needs met (Mailbox, May 20). We have engaged in such exchanges for thousands of years and it’s only in more recent years that extreme and extractive capitalism has ruled.

Numerous economists are exploring and developing different models where human needs are met in a way that honors life and acknowledges natural limits. Marxism, socialism and capitalism are just the three we hear the most about. Here on the north coast, one group working to create better systems at a local level is Cooperation Humboldt.

If you’re interested in learning how economic systems can serve all people rather than only the few who own the capital, here are a few resources: E. F. Schumacher, Small is Beautiful: Economics as if People Mattered M. Anielski, The Economics of Happiness C. Eisenstein, Sacred Economics; Various works by V. Shiva, D. Korten and J. Perkins. Shiva and Perkins, in particular, describe how indigenous communities thrived until capitalism came in and decimated local economies.

Cooperation Humboldt offers many ways to learn more and get involved locally. You can learn more on their website at www.cooperationhumboldt.org.

End The Filibuster Editor: The filibuster, an antiquated procedure used to prevent a bill from being brought to a vote, is preventing the U.S. Congress from being an effective third branch of government and should be ended in the Senate.

Regardless of your political leanings, we should all want a strong and functional Congress. We have three branches of government for a reason and when one is derelict the other two will expand to fill that space. We have seen that with an increasingly authoritative executive branch and we should all be concerned.

The role of Congress is to vote on and pass laws. Rules that prevent it from

voting on legislation encourage polarization, as each party can promise to enact extreme legislation that they know will never be brought to a vote, much less become law. Productive governance is replaced by posturing and we are the ones who suffer.

Sen. Diane Feinstein has expressed support for legislation on gun control, immigration and health care, and has urged Congress to act but refuses to make the change necessary to allow bills to be voted on and become law. She refuses to support changing or removing the filibuster rules. I encourage you to contact her office at (415) 393-0707 to express your views.

Sky McKinley, McKinleyville

‘Killing Off Your Readership’ Editor: Thank you for personalizing the tragic local loss of the pandemic by listing victims in your May 20th issue (“In Memorium”).

At the same time, we were shocked and dismayed that on page 4 an advertisement exhorting “Eureka” to “Make it Luckies (Strikes)!” appears in that same issue.

The long epidemic of disease and death caused by the use of tobacco would be enough to have filled up pages of many papers across the country in the years before, during and long after the current pandemic. The ad’s bland, innocuous and ultimately gratuitous warning that “Cigarette Smoke Contains Carbon Monoxide,” conveniently combined with a link for free “Mobile Coupons,” is the final slap in the face to those who have witnessed (or experienced) tobacco’s gruesome lethality.

Surely there are alternate sources of advertising income for your otherwise fine publication that are not inherently intent on literally killing off your readership!

Daniel Escajeda, Mckinleyville

Corrections The story headlined “In Memoriam” in the May 20, 2021 edition of the North Coast Journal included an incorrect age for Charles Irwin Davis, who was 88 years old.

Additionally, a story headlined “Trouble at Kneeland Glen” in the same edition misidentified Dan Ehresman’s role at the North Coast Regional Land Trust and included an incorrect weight for Tootsie the dog. Ehresman is the land trust’s executive director and Tootsie weighs approximately 25 pounds. The Journal regrets the errors. ●

An Honest Conversation

Local law enforcement, formerly incarcerated mentors talk criminal justice with county youth

A

lmost a year after the death of George Floyd and the ensuing national calls for police reform and accountability, a group of Humboldt County law enforcement officers sat with a couple of ex-convicts for a discussion on criminal justice with local youth.

For the Humboldt Independent Practice Associations’ Boys to Men support groups, the discussion started weeks before they recently met with the panel at the McKinleyville Middle School gym for a conversation about justice.

“This is very hard and much needed work in our community, and areas across the nation,” Vanessa Vrtiak, the schoolbased health center program coordinator, said in an email to the Journal. “It was wonderful to see both sides be courageous, model vulnerability and transparency. Our goal was to provide some healing and humanize both worlds and I felt like we did that. ... It’s very important that we use this as a jumping off point and continue to have conversations on justice.

It’s one of the many ways we can put a dent in the school-to-prison pipeline and empower our youth.”

The panel discussion fit the group’s mission of promoting healthy relationships, this time among law enforcement

agencies, to mitigate high trauma rates among local youth. On a Monday earlier this month, the McKinleyville Middle School gym was filled with 30 male-identifying students from McKinleyville Middle School, McKinleyville High School and the Humboldt County Office of Education Court and Community School’s Boys to Men support groups, who’d readied questions about the criminal justice system for both officers and the formerly incarcerated pannelists.

The Humboldt IPA’s school-based health center on the McKinleyville Middle School Campus was first established in 2019 and primarily focuses on providing support services through empowerment groups for students. The Boys to Men group was one of the first and has since expanded to include groups at other local schools.

The groups meet weekly and focus on developing stronger peer-to-peer support systems, promoting leadership skills, encouraging emotional wellness and fostering a deeper sense of community, which program leaders believe will lower absenteeism rates and better prepare students to transition into adulthood.

The goal of the conversation on justice was to promote honesty and help students understand how both sides of

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, May 27, 2021 • northcoastjournal.com

the justice system work and feel, exposing them to the perspectives of those who enforce laws and some people who used to break them.

The panel featured Roberto Gomez and Tyler Parr, two Boys to Men mentors who have spent time incarcerated in their lives but reached a point where they felt it was time to make a change. Speaking of their personal experiences, both men said their time in jail had been intimidating and scary.

“Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability,” Tony Wallin, the discussion’s moderator and a formerly incarcerated Boys to Men mentor, said to Gomez and Parr. “It’s hard to admit something like going to jail is scary, right? We don’t tend to say things like that but it is. It’s scary as hell.”

Both Gomez and Parr said their criminal paths began with a lack of places to go and clubs to join that offered positive and supportive role models and mentors.

With few positive options, both turned to hanging out with the “wrong people” and, eventually, to drugs.

Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal participated in the panel and agreed that having support and someone to turn to for guidance are important factors missing for too many kids locally.

“It’s tough — it’s difficult growing up in Humboldt County,” he said. “One thing we have to recognize is that we have some of the highest (rates of) adverse childhood experiences within our county, which means that our kids experience more trauma when they’re young than other places in the state, and so we have to recognize that and offer things for our youth. One thing that’s always been there when I was a kid — and currently — our kids are bored, right? There’s nothing to do. So, we must create things for our kids. But … what’s much more important is to have someone believe in you.”

That is something Gomez utterly understands: the dire need of having a positive role model in a child’s life. He’s now trying to be what he didn’t have, and his discussions with students focus on prevention and acceptance, as he hopes to help students avoid making the same mistakes he did.

Gomez and Parr also talked about how having a criminal record has made it more difficult to find good paying jobs, affected child custody battles and changed the way they perceive themselves.

“I think one of the biggest ways having a record affected me was having an impact on my self-esteem because, no matter Continued on page 13 »

what, if I complete the programs that they tell me to complete, if I turn my life around and I’m a whole different person, no matter what, I have to carry that (record) with me,” Gomez said. “There’s no escape from that.”

The panel also featured Ray Watson, detention services director for Humboldt County Probation, who talked about how the juvenile detention center has become more trauma-informed and reflective, and less reactive. “[Juvenile hall] went from the model of (correctional officers) standing against the wall, watching them, making sure they didn’t get in trouble and reacting to that, to being more engaging,” he said. “We talk with the youth and get to know them so when there’s a crisis, the youth trust you and you can handle it better. … Juvenile hall is becoming a more home-like environment.”

The shift to a more trauma-informed approach comes amid a downward trend in juvenile arrests.

According to a report published by the National Center for Juvenile Justice, “the number of juvenile arrests in 2019 was at its lowest level since 1980, with much of the decline occurring within the past 10 years,” adding that the declines have been greater for males in most offense categories. In Humboldt County, the juvenile hall population has decreased by 75.5 percent since 2002, according to a Board of State and Community Corrections Juvenile Detention Profile Survey.

During the group discussions about the criminal justice system, students watched the PBS documentary They Call Us Monsters, which looks at three incarcerated teenagers in juvenile hall and explores the topic of sentencing children to life without parole — a question that the students also had for the panel.

“Do you agree with charging youth as adults? Or giving life without parole? If so, does that mean people cannot change?”

Wallin asked.

The panelists were hesitant to answer but ultimately did. While Parr, Gomez and Honsal agreed that charges should depend greatly on the circumstances, others like Watson and Bear River Police officer Joshua Bates said they don’t believe kids should be tried as adults.

Bates said he feels “extremely violent crimes with very ill intent” are rare.

“I think when we charge youth as adults, a lot of them committed crimes

because they turned to people who would give them attention, like gang members, but there’s caveats — ‘I’ll take you in and be your homie, but you have to do illegal things,’” he said.

Students also asked the law enforcement panelists questions about mental health, police policies and practices that will better serve youth and lead to more positive community interactions.

Honsal talked about the training his deputies complete, like crisis intervention, and touted his department’s plan to create positive first interactions between deputies and local youth. Bates detailed his department’s “boots on the ground” community policing practices, which sees officers walk in neighborhoods while engaging with the community members they come across.

Overall, the conversation was captivating. Vrtiak said she felt the meeting was an “incredible starting point” and students were highly engaged, so much so that when she passed around a basket of snacks no one grabbed any.

The Boys to Men groups hope to continue these conversations and transparency by creating “accountability statements,” that’ll be written by students and hopefully signed by law enforcement agencies. The statements ask agencies for things the students see as important, like training officers on implicit bias and trauma-informed practices, supporting early intervention efforts and “boots on the ground” programs like Bear River’s.

But the statements are a two-way street, Vrtiak notes, explaining that if students ask law enforcement for something, the boys must also promise to meet them in the middle, pledging to treat cops as people and to reach out to them when they need help.

“Our hope for the accountability statements is that each law enforcement agency in Humboldt County will consider the demands of our students and help us work toward a more just, peaceful community,” Vrtiak said. “We want to do everything we can to end the schoolto-prison pipeline and to empower our youth to feel safe and supported in our community.” ● Iridian Casarez (she/her) is a staff writer at the Journal.

HumCO’s COVID-19 Numbers Now Worst in California

A

s the Journal went to press May 25, Public Health confirmed that Humboldt County had the worst COVID-19 case and test-positivity rates of any of California’s 58 counties.

The news came as Public Health had confirmed 57 new cases, one death and four new hospitalizations to start the week, after confirming 127 new cases and eight hospitalizations the week prior.

The county’s test-positivity rate — or the percentage of samples taken that come back positive for the virus — has also spiked in May. After dropping to 4.5 percent in March, it has jumped to 8.3 percent in May, while the statewide rate sat at just 1 percent.

Nonetheless, the state opted to keep Humboldt in its orange “widespread” COVID-19 risk tier, despite the rising numbers.

Officials are pointing to the local presence of the B.1.1.7 variant as a reason for the recent spike, with Public Health reporting last week that genomic sequencing has identified more than 40 local cases of the variant, which is associated with a 50 percent increase in transmission and more severe illness.

According to a state database, eight people were hospitalized with COVID-19 locally as the Journal went to

press, including three receiving intensive care.

The county reported May 21 that state officials believe California is on track to move beyond its current blueprint for COVID-19 restrictions June 15, after which almost all business sectors can resume usual operations with limited exceptions, mostly for large events with 5,000 attendees or more. But the reopening will add risk for non-vaccinated individuals, and the state is urging residents to get vaccinated as soon as possible.

Public Health reported last week that the county has administered more than 110,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine, with 38 percent of local population now fully vaccinated, including nearly 75 percent of residents over the age of 65. Further, Public Health reported that residents can now text their ZIP code to 438829 or call (800) 232-0233 to find a pharmacy near them offering the vaccine, and the county has a Pfizer vaccine clinic scheduled at College of the Redwoods on June 2 from 2 to 6 p.m.

The county currently has more than 13,500 vaccine doses on hand and said did not request additional doses from the state for this week.

Forewarned but Still Not Ready

California’s historic drought and what it means in Humboldt

By Julie Cart and Rachel Becker/CalMatters editor@northcoastjournal.com

W

hen James Brumder and his wife Louise Gonzalez moved into their home tucked up against the mountains northeast of Los Angeles, he applied all his know-how to the task of undoing the thirsty garden they inherited.

Brumder, who worked for a commercial landscaping company, pulled up their weedy, unkempt lawn in Altadena and replaced it with native grasses, filled in garden beds with species that could make a living off the region’s fickle rainfall, installed drip irrigation, set up rain barrels and banked soil to collect any errant drops of water. Whenever the backyard duck pond — a blue plastic kiddie pool — was cleaned, the water was fed to drought-adapted fruit trees.

It was 2013, a year before a statewide drought emergency was declared, but even then the water crisis was apparent to Brumder and most everyone in California: A great dry cycle had come again. Four years later, it receded when a torrent of winter rains came. The drought, finally, was declared over.

Generals know that you always fight the last war. So California — already in the clutches of another drought emergency — is looking over its shoulder at what happened last time, anticipating the worst and evaluating the strategies that worked and those that failed.

So is California in a better position to weather this drought? Some things are

worse, some better: Groundwater is still being pumped with no statewide limits, siphoning up drinking water that rural communities rely on. In northern counties, residents are reliving the last disaster as water restrictions kick in again, but in the south, enough water is stored to avoid them for now.

The good news is that in urban areas, most Californians haven’t lapsed back into their old water-wasting patterns. But, while some farmers have adopted water-saving technology, others are drilling deeper wells to suck out more water to plant new orchards.

The upshot is California isn’t ready — again.

“We are in worse shape than we were before the last drought, and we are going to be in even worse shape after this one,” said Jay Lund, co-director of the Center for Watershed Sciences at the University of California at Davis.

The most acute problem, experts say, is the lack of controls on groundwater pumping.

“Despite increasingly occurring droughts, we could be doing much better than we are doing,” added Peter Gleick, co-founder of the Pacific Institute, a global water think tank. “We manage finally to get some statewide rules about groundwater, but they are not going to be implemented for years.” As a result, he said, aquifers are still being over-pumped and land is sinking.

And an overarching question lingers:

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, May 27, 2021 • northcoastjournal.com

How will Californians cope as the world continues to warm and the dry spells become ever more common and more severe?

Then and now: How does it compare?

Three-fourths of California is already experiencing extreme drought, a designation that only hints at the trickle down of impacts on people, the environment and the economy. Nature’s orderly seasons are upended: As the winter so-called “wet season” ended, Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a drought emergency in 41 counties, including Humboldt.

This year’s drought is steadily approaching the peak severity of the last one, climate experts say. It’s a dangerous benchmark: 2012 through 2015 was the state’s driest consecutive four-year stretch since record-keeping began in 1896. Drought is characterized by deficit — of rainfall, snow, runoff into rivers, storage in reservoirs and more. And all of these factors are in dire shape this year. Some are even worse than they were during the last drought.

Much of the state has received less than half of average rain and snowfall since October, with some areas seeing as little as a quarter. For most of Northern California, the past two years have been the second driest on record.

The Sierra Nevada snowpack, which provides about a third of California’s water,

dwindled to 5 percent of average this month, equaling April 2015’s record-low percentage. That signals trouble for California’s reservoirs — even before the long, dry summer begins.

2021 is shaping up to be a really dry year Already, the water stored in major reservoirs is far below normal as some rivers’ runoff has dipped below the last drought’s levels. Lake Oroville, which stores water delivered as far away as San Diego, has dropped to just under half of its historic average for this time of year.

“We’ve had dry springs before, but that is just astonishing,” said Daniel Swain, a climate scientist at the University of California at Los Angeles and The Nature Conservancy. “And we’re still a few months out from seeing the worst of things.”

Megan Brown, a sixth-generation cattle rancher in Oroville, worries that climate change might finally make her the last of her family to run cattle in California. Dry pastures can force ranchers to sell livestock or buy expensive feed.

Usually, she said, the hills on her ranch are as green as Ireland in the spring. But by the end of April, dry golden grass had already started to claim the slopes. The blackberry-lined creek on Brown’s ranch is so parched that her dogs kick up clouds of dust as they nose through the rocks.

“It’s turning,” she said, looking up at her browning hills dotted with so many fewer

cows than usual. “I don’t like it. It’s scary.”

Prolonged dry periods, some more than 100 years in the state, can be traced to the Middle Ages, via tree rings from stumps preserved in lakes. But while droughts are part of California’s natural cycles, climate change is exacerbating them, increasing drought frequency and making them more extreme, climate experts say.

In his 1952 novel East of Eden, John Steinbeck depicted the yin and yang of California’s water cycle in the Salinas Valley where he grew up, how the bounty of the wet years drove out memories of the dry, until, predictably, the water wheel came back around. “And it never failed that during the dry years the people forgot about the rich years, and during the wet years they lost all memory of the dry years. It was always that way.”

But droughts and water shortages are more of a persistent way of life now in California than a mere cycle. The rare has become the routine.

Drought’s terrible price

The last drought posed a palpable, dayto-day crisis. The signs were clearly visible: withered crops and gardens, bathtub rings around shrinking reservoirs, dried-out salmon streams. People drove filthy cars and thought twice about flushing their toilets. Ski runs reverted to gravel and mountain resorts shut down months early.

All Californians were ordered to conserve and state officials mandated a 25-percent statewide cut in the water used by urban residents in 2015.

Homeowners used smartphone apps to turn in neighbors for over-sprinkling their lawns and cities hired water cops to enforce the rules. Hotels notified guests of reduced laundry service. In restaurants, glasses of water that used to automatically appear were served only after patrons requested them.

Thousands of rural wells, particularly in the Central Valley, ran dry, forcing the state to truck in emergency drinking water to hard-hit Latino communities. In 2014, with years of the drought to go, recent groundwater levels in some parts of the San Joaquin Valley had already sunk 100 feet — the equivalent of a 10-story building — below historic norms.

Agriculture took a $3.8 billion hit from 2014 through 2016. More than a half-million acres of farmland was taken out of production for lack of irrigation water and an estimated 21,000 jobs were lost in 2015 alone.

The astonishing aridity also killed more than 100 million trees and weakened millions more, setting off a catastrophic cascade: The carpet of dead trees added fuel to California’s wildfire epidemic. Fire

season stretched year-round and into normally damp parts of the state.

As rivers heated up, their flows dwindled and about 95 percent of endangered winter-run Chinook salmon were lost below Shasta Dam in two consecutive years. A record number of commercial and recreational fisheries were shut down and countless ducks and other waterbirds died as wetlands vanished.

“California was unprepared for this environmental drought emergency and is now struggling to implement stopgap measures,” the Public Policy Institute of California concluded in 2015.

Today, despite the warnings, in many ways the state finds itself in the same situation: Forewarned but still not ready.

“The universal truism is that by the time you react to a drought it’s too late to react to a drought,” said Jeffrey Mount, a senior fellow at the Public Policy Institute.

“The majority of things you have to do to mitigate impacts have to be done before the drought.”

Droughts are expensive for taxpayers.

The Legislature appropriated $3.3 billion toward drought response from 2013 to 2017, including $2.3 billion in voter-approved bonds. About $68 million was spent on emergency drinking water for communities where wells went dry, but the biggest chunk funded projects to begin augmenting supply, such as more water recycling and groundwater management.

Now, to address the current drought, the Newsom administration has proposed spending another $5.1 billion, for a start.

But the “start” may be already too late.

“I can think of a lot of places to spend money,” Mount said. “But it’s too late for this drought.”

Natural Resources Secretary Wade Crowfoot said California is better prepared than before the last drought, but climate change is quickly moving the finish line.

“We are in a race against time and the changing climate. And so all that we’ve done is important, but we need to do more,” Crowfoot said.

Felicia Marcus, the top water official who shepherded the state’s response to the record-breaking drought under former Gov. Jerry Brown, said California “made real progress in some areas during the last drought” but needs to conserve and recycle more water, capture more in aquifers and better protect ecosystems.

Learning to live with less

The experience of the last drought left behind lasting effects across California, in the way that trauma can afford painful lessons.

ON THE COVER Continued from previous page

But it’s one thing to repeat the mantra that “water is precious” and quite another to learn to live with less of it. State officials are relieved that some behaviors mandated in the last drought have become habits with lasting benefits for conservation.

Between 2013 and 2016, Californians on average reduced their residential use by 30 percent. Since then, per capita water use has ticked up, but Californians used 16 percent less water in recent months than they did in 2013.

The ubiquity of drought has forced many Californians to change their fundamental relationship with water.

Their responses to the pleas to conserve have varied, reflecting the state’s diversity of climates, populations, property sizes and lifestyles. For instance, urban residents of the San Francisco Bay Area, the Central Coast and North Coast used the least amount of water in 2020 — an average of 71 to 73 gallons a day per person — compared to 86 in Southern California, 125 in the Sacramento Valley and 136 in the southern San Joaquin Valley. Every region’s use edged up slightly last year — perhaps due to COVID-19 sheltering at home — but every region is considerably lower than the early years of the last drought.

Some Southern Californians endorsed conservation with a vengeance, ripping out more than 160 million square feet of lawns during the last drought. Golf courses followed suit; they tore out turf on non-playing areas in favor of drought-tolerant plants, while watering greens and fairways with recycled water.

Still, households using 400 gallons per day aren’t uncommon in Southern California, said Los Angeles County Public Works Director Mark Pestrella. And, despite permanent conservation gains leftover from the last drought, some massive residential water users — called water buffalos — use 4,000 gallons a day.

The disconnect? “Water is cheap,” Pestrella said.

The state’s cobbled-together policies of carrots and sticks managed to reduce water consumption in cities statewide.

California officials toughened standards for toilets, faucets and shower heads and ramped up efficiency requirements for new landscaping. Millions of dollars in rebates were offered by state and local water agencies to coax Californians into replacing thirsty lawns.

When conservation alone wasn’t enough, an executive order by then-Gov. Brown gave officials the authority to send help to well owners and struggling small water systems.

Some policies, however, have not yet

Humboldt’s ‘New Normal’

By Thadeus Greenson

T

he Humboldt County Board of Supervisors heard a series of dire warnings May 25 about what worsening drought conditions could mean for the North Coast, from catastrophic wildfire to entire communities running out of water and massive fish kills in local rivers.

Perhaps most alarmingly, a host of officials who addressed the board warned this is no anomaly.

“The weather is changing,” said Craig Tucker, a natural resources consultant for the Karuk Tribe, explaining that nine of California’s 11 hottest years on record and three of its driest have occurred since 2011. “What we’re living here is not really a drought but a new normal driven by climate change.”

In a conversation that spanned more than two hours, the board heard from representatives of CalFire, the National Weather Service, the Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District, the Yurok and Karuk tribes and the office of emergency services, all of whom expect a dry, hot summer and fall with a host of reverberating impacts. After the reports and taking public comment, the board struggled to agree on next steps. It agreed, after a failed vote to advance one motion, to form a drought task force, explore the creation of a “climate change and resiliency” staff position and direct staff to begin a public messaging campaign underscoring the severity of the drought and the need for water conservation and fire safe practices.

Fire Weather

National Weather Service hydrologist Kathleen Zontos reported that Humboldt County is currently in “moderate to severe drought” and conditions are expected to worsen.

The county has seen only 50 to 70 been fully realized.

Lawmakers tasked state agencies with developing efficiency standards for residential, commercial, industrial and institutional water use, but these are still in the works. Also, statewide rules that banned wasteful practices like hosing off driveways expired in 2017. The water board’s 2018 effort to revive them was dropped after local agencies complained

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, May 27, 2021 • northcoastjournal.com

The Klamath River is already in a state of emergency, reported Yurok Tribal Chair Joseph James, adding that, “as we speak,”

juvenile salmon are dying of disease due to poor water conditions.

The juvenile salmon die-off will have dire implications for future salmon runs, he said, while also warning the fall will carry the risk of another adult salmon fish kill similar to what was seen in 2002. He urged the board and other elected officials to do all they can to “declare a drought” and do what they can to help.

“The river is our lifeway … it’s our culture. It’s who we are,” James said. “The river takes care of us and we want to make sure we take care of it.”

Tucker stressed that the situation is historic, saying we’re in the midst of a twoyear stretch as dry as any on record since 1900 and “this is something more significant than a drought.” He urged officials to look at groundwater policies and how they impact surface flows and fisheries, to make sure everyone has safe, affordable drinking water, to work with the agricultural sector to develop plans to adapt to dry years and to invest in forest health.

Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District Business Manager Chris Harris said that while the district is fortunate that its reservoir at Ruth Lake is at 99 percent capacity, it’s bracing for large-scale impacts.

The Mad River, she said, is already seeing tributaries drying up, impacting flows and water quality in the river. She also said the district is anticipating that some small, rural districts will run out of water this year and wells will run dry, so the district is researching options to supply them by trucking water in. But that’s a daunting challenge, she said, as it would require some new infrastructure. Plus, she added, while even the smallest communities use roughly 1 million gallons of water a month, the average water truck holds 3,000, meaning hundreds of truck trips would be needed to meet demand.

“That’s pretty much the district’s position: We are absolutely happy to help but it’s just not as easy as running a garden hose,” Harris said.

Humboldt County Planning Director John Ford said his department is currently researching hydrological connectivity and consulting with hydro-geologists to determine the impacts of drawing down

that mandates should be left up to them.

A major law enacted during the last drought is supposed to stop groundwater depletion over the next 20 years. But the law is still in its very early stages; the state has not limited groundwater pumping anywhere yet.

“We do an absolutely terrible job at some things, and groundwater is one,” said UC Davis’ Lund. “It takes 30 years to imple-

ment (the new groundwater act) from zero to something sustainable. It’s going to take a long time and it’s going to be ragged around the edges.”

Lawmakers were warned by state analysts last week to prepare for wells to go dry again, largely in Central Valley rural towns, and line up emergency supplies of drinking water.

“I suspect we’re going to see similar is-

percent of normal rainfall so far this water year, with totals having fallen far short of normal last year, too.

“What does that mean for the summer months ahead of us?” she asked. “Essentially, weatherwise, the damage has already been done. … We’re not going to see relief until next winter. … It looks like it could get worse before it gets better.”

Zontos added that “above normal” temperatures are forecast this summer, raising the potential for “significant wildfires across Humboldt County.”

Humboldt-Del Norte CalFire Unit Chief Kurt McCray agreed.

“We’re definitely looking at an unfortunate situation ahead of us,” he said, adding that forests in the region have an abundance of “dry fuels” that are at below record moisture levels, meaning they are drier than they have ever been, “which is very concerning.” McCray explained that soil moistures, which in past years have mitigated dry fuel levels and helped provide resilience to the local landscapes, are similarly at alarmingly low levels. As such, McCray said CalFire will fully staff and equip all its facilities by June 1 — about three weeks ahead of schedule — anticipating fire season will begin early and grow dire over the next five or so months.

At one point last fall, McCray said, five of the six largest fires recorded in California history were burning at once.

“Conditions this year are far worse than they were last year,” he said, adding that, to date, the state has already seen four times as many acres burned this year over last year.

This, McCray said, means everyone has a part to play in keeping communities safe, urging people to be “diligent and very fire safe with activities” and to make sure they create and maintain defensible space around their properties. Finally, he urged residents to heed evacuation order and warnings if they come, saying it enables fire crews to do their job and “minimizes complications.”

Not Enough Water

wells — or drilling new ones — on regional ground and surface water, particularly as it relates to cannabis cultivation. He noted that the county currently has 500 permits pending for pre-existing cultivation sites and another 700 for new ones, noting that “people have invested greatly in these permits” and the department is researching whether there are “alternative legal sources of water that could be made available to cultivators.”

Next Steps

When the matter came back to the board, Third District Supervisor Mike Wilson, who put the discussion on the meeting’s agenda, moved that the board instruct staff to come back with next steps and the proposed new climate change position in four to six weeks. When the motion almost died for lack of a second, Chair Virginia Bass stepped in to push it to a vote, but it quickly became apparent it was stuck between Fifth District Supervisor Steve Madrone, who said earlier he’d support an emergency drought declaration and thought the motion lacked the urgency the moment demanded, and First District Supervisor Rex Bohn and Second District Supervisor Michelle Bushnell, who both seemed to think it unnecessary.

After much circuitous discussion, Madrone put forward a motion to create a three-person task force — comprising Emergency Services Manager Ryan Derby, Ford and Public Works Deputy Director Hank Seaman — to bring back recommendations to the board as soon as possible and to have staff immediately begin a public messaging campaign urging residents to conserve water and engage in fire safe practices. He later introduced a second motion asking staff to bring back a proposal for the new climate change position in the near future.

Both passed unanimously.

The 14-day forecast, meanwhile, called for mostly sunny, windy skies.

The mighty agriculture industry, which uses the bulk of California’s water, plowed up some crops such as rice and alfalfa to save water. A state program awarded

growers more than $80 million in grants to install low-pressure irrigation systems and make other conservation measures.

But growers also continued to plant new fruit and nut crops, despite the recurring water shortages. Some farmers offset their financial losses by fallowing fields and selling their water to other growers.

Some orchard growers intensified groundwater pumping by digging deeper wells and using “new water” to plant more trees. The number of acres of almond trees — a water-intensive, high-value crop — doubled in the last decade, although the industry has significantly improved its water efficiency in recent years. “High returns on orchard crops have made it profitable for farmers to invest in deeper wells, aggravating groundwater depletion,” according to a Public Policy Institute of California analysis.

Ranchers face difficult decisions

Katie Roberti of the California Cattlemen’s Association told CalMatters that rachers are facing the most severe conditions in decades. “Without precipitation many California cattle producers are going to be forced to make the difficult decision to reduce the size of their herds, some more drastically than others,” she said.

Megan Brown, the Oroville rancher, already sold a third of her cattle — including all of her replacement breeders that replenish her herd — after the dry 2020 winter, when the grasslands they forage on dried up.

“We were ahead of the game because we saw the writing on the wall,” she said.

“If you don’t have the grass, you’re not going to make the money.”

She sold “anything that looked at me funny, or had an attitude, or I thought would fail or wouldn’t make me money,” she said. “It was hard, some of these cows I’ve had for 10 years.”

The U.S. Department of Agriculture declared a drought disaster that allows growers and ranchers to seek low-interest loans.

But Brown refuses to accept a loan.

“Our family history has a saying that if you can’t buy it in cash, you can’t really afford it.”

Brown has seen back-to-back calamities hit her land: drought, torrential rains and then fires that destroyed wooden flumes that ferry water from the west branch of the Feather River to Oroville and landowners like her along the way.

“It’s all these things, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam — every year. It’s not supposed to be like that. We’re supposed to have these once in a generation,” Brown said.

“It’s more. It’s worse.”

She’s already weighing how to adapt her ranch to a changing California, such as raising heritage hogs and turkeys instead of cattle, and wondering whether there’s a future in emus.

“It hurts, man, it hurts your soul,” Brown said. “I always felt like I might be the last one in the family to run cattle. I’ve just had a bad feeling. And this kind of makes it real, like my bad feeling was justified.”

North and south: One dries up while one stored for a rainy day When you take into account the path that moves water from source to tap, it’s a daily miracle that any of it arrives at its destination. Every day 20 percent of the electricity used in California and 30 percent of the natural gas is used to pump water.

All that energy is necessitated by geography: Much of the state’s water is in the north and much of its population is in the south. This shift requires the State Water Project’s massive pumping plants to push water uphill 2,000 feet from the floor of the San Joaquin Valley and over the Tehachapi Mountains, where it flows down to the great southern basin and its 24 million people.

This year, the state expects to deliver only 5 percent of water requested from the State Water Project. And there’s an indefinite hold on federal allocations for some agricultural users both north and south of the Delta.

Nevertheless, the Metropolitan Water District, which supplies imported water for 19 million people in six Southern California counties, says it has managed to sock away record levels of water despite back-toback dry years.

“We’ve gone into this year with the highest storage levels in our history, actually,” said Deven Upadhyay, assistant general manager and chief operating officer for the Metropolitan Water District.

“Storage-wise, we go into this year — the second year of a drought, and now a really critical year — pretty well positioned.”

About 3.2 million acre-feet of water are tucked away in storage, with another 750,000 reserved in case of a disaster like an earthquake. That’s enough to meet the demands of 12 million households in the Los Angeles area.

As a result, Southern California agencies are unlikely to mandate rationing this year, although Upadhyay encourages residents to be careful with their water use.

But in the north, the situation is more dire. Some local agencies and counties are already limiting water use long before the drier summer months arrive.

For some, it’s déjà vu: Fountains are going still again, pools and hot tubs must

be covered and residents are urged to turn down taps and swap out lawns. Some water providers are already hiking rates to pay for emergency water supplies.

The town of Mendocino, which depends heavily on rain-fed aquifers, declared a stage 4 water shortage emergency requiring residents to use 40 percent less water than allotted. Many residents are already there, said community service district superintendent Ryan Rhoades.

In Redwood Valley, which has roughly 1,100 municipal and 200 agricultural customers just north of Ukiah, the water district has already turned off the tap to agricultural customers.

Bree Klotter, a wine grape grower and member of the district’s board, said it’s one more challenge for residents who are just emerging from devastating wildfires on the heels of the last drought.

The district earlier this month set a 55-gallon-per-person-per-day limit on residential water use and expected pushback.

But it never came.

“We had set a meeting for two hours and literally nobody showed up,” Klotter said. “I don’t know whether it’s because they have adapted their behaviors to accommodate the drought, or whether they’re just like, this is just something else — one more thing.”

Her well is ‘more valuable than gold’ Novelist Joan Didion wrote that growing up in Sacramento, she knew it was summer when “coughing in the pipes meant the well was dry.”

It’s a sound familiar to many, and a harbinger of dry times. About 60 percent of California’s water supply comes from groundwater during dry years and the state has roughly a million residential wells.

More than 2,000 households reported dry wells during and after the last drought.

Some well owners are already struggling with coughing pipes this year.

Jasna Hendershott, 66, has lived in the same house in the mountain town of Oakhurst outside of Yosemite National Park for nearly three decades. She has always been careful how she uses her well water.

During hot summers, Hendershott uses paper plates to avoid washing dishes. She takes short showers, only washes full loads of laundry and she doesn’t have sprinklers for her yard.

“It’s more valuable than gold, and you really need to worry about it,” Hendershott said. “If you don’t save water, then you’re putting everybody into danger.”

Even so, during the last drought, her

well occasionally ran dry during summer months. And about a year-and-a-half ago, it dried up completely. While she waits to find out whether she needs to drill a deeper well, Hendershott has been relying on water deliveries to fill her well’s storage tank — first from Madera County and now from the nonprofit Self-Help Enterprises.

She isn’t the only one; the non-profit coordinates water deliveries for more than 320 other households.

Monthly water deliveries can run the nonprofit $1,500 a month for a household, on top of about $5,000 to buy and install a storage tank — totaling close to $23,000 for the first year. The money comes from state grants.

During the last drought, California spent roughly half a million dollars a month to dispatch water to those without.

Of all the lessons the state should learn, this might be the most valuable: “There’s never enough water in California,” the Pacific Institute’s Gleick said. “We have to assume that we are always water-short and we have to act like it.” l CalMatters is a nonprofit, nonpartisan newsroom committed to explaining California policy and politics.

alking into a bike shop in Humboldt, you’ll be greeted by the faint smell of rubber tires that hangs in the air and the clanging of wrenches, but walking over to the bike racks, you’ll likely find them mostly bare.

Bicycles and even bike parts have become hard to come by in the pandemic.

“Bicycles are backordered until 2022 … [if] someone wants to buy a bike today, they might have to wait a whole year to get their bike and normally it would take a few weeks,” says Sage Saatdjian, co-owner of Moon Cycle in Arcata.

Sean Tetrault, one of the owners of Revolution Bicycles, says that he noticed a surge in the demand for bicycles about two months into the pandemic. At first he mostly had parents coming into the shop looking to get new bikes for their kids and for themselves. “Spring is usually our busy time but during the shutdown spring, we fully expected to just kind of tread water as everybody else but we were pretty surprised people just started coming in and coming in,” he says. With the closure of gyms, he saw a broader demographic of people coming in for bikes. He suspects that being stuck at home made more people want to get outdoors, too.

Saatdjian also says that at the beginning of the pandemic, the staff was busy with a lot of people coming in to get their bikes repaired and road-ready. “People were taking their old bikes out from their garage that they hadn’t been riding for a long time and getting them ready,” they say.

Along with biking for leisure, Saatdjian also says some of their customers were planning to use their bikes primarily for transportation. Saatdjian thinks that before

federal assistance came and people were losing their employment, they turned to biking as a cheaper alternative to driving a car and spending money on gas.

Now the problem is the supply of bikes can’t keep up with the demand. “Unfortunately, now we’re on the backside of the situation where we’re having supply chain issues,” Tetrault says. “Now, like many other industries, we are challenged by what we can literally get through the door, which isn’t much.”

Sprout Plankton, co-owner of Moon Cycle and the coordinator of the Eureka Bike Kitchen, suspects the supply chain has broken down at several points leading to a shortage of bikes and bike parts. The shortage closed Moon Cycle down at the end of April of last year. “It was just a hassle, like, ‘Oh, we can do two things but the other three things you need, you have to go somewhere else,’” Plankton says.

Recently, Moon Cycle opened back up but even more than a year later, bike parts are still scarce and seem to be available in cycles. Usually, shop owners can see on

their supplier’s websites when a product is expected to come back in stock but the availability of many products is uncertain now. “We couldn’t get tubes — we literally ran out of tubes — which is pretty unheard of,” Saatdjian says. “It’s really unprecedented and lots of other super basic parts are completely out of stock.”

Those who were fortunate enough to buy one or get their old bike repaired are taking advantage of their good luck and spending more time outside.

“Things are still not completely open so a lot of people are still riding bikes and, hopefully, a lot of people have realized how much fun bikes can be,” Tetrault says.

“The cycling infrastructure here continues to grow and get new and better trails off road and paved trails, hopefully more people stick with it.” ● Nancy Garcia (she/her) is a freelance journalist finishing her degree at Humboldt State University this fall.

FISHING THE NORTH COAST

Eureka Boats Finding the Halibut

The Pacific halibut bite has been pretty good out of Eureka this week. Pictured are a couple of anglers who boated their limit of halibut while fishing off Eureka on Monday.

By Kenny Priest

T

he weather finally cooperated for consecutive days and the Eureka boats took full advantage.

Most of the angling effort was on the Pacific halibut grounds but quite a few boats made the trip south to Cape Mendocino. While the halibut bite isn’t wide open, most of the charter boats are putting clients into limits. It can best be described as a grind and you definitely don’t want to forget to pack a lunch. Whether it’s a tidal issue — or just the right time of day — the best bite has been late morning into early afternoon.

Those who have the patience and time have been rewarded. “We’ve had some really good conditions this week with very little current,” said Tim Klassen of Reel Steel Sport Fishing. “We haven’t looked around a whole lot yet; right now most of the effort is from the 48-line north to the 53 line in 280 to 300 feet of water. There seems to be quite a few fish around.” Offshore conditions are looking a little dicey for the holiday weekend. If they improve and the bar at Humboldt Bay is passable, be aware of the minus tides that will go through Monday. Thursday and Friday are the most dangerous as more than 8 feet of water will be leaving the bay down to a minus 2-foot low when boats will be heading through the jaws.

Weekend marine forecast

After Thursday, wave heights are forecasted to build through the weekend.

Northwest winds blowing 5 to 15 knots are predicted through at least Sunday.

Friday, northwest waves will be 8 feet at 11 seconds. Saturday’s forecast is calling for northwest swells 6 feet at eight seconds.

Sunday’s prediction is northwest swells 5 feet at six seconds. These conditions can and will change by the weekend. For an up-to-date weather forecast, visit www. weather.gov/eureka or www.windy.com. To monitor the latest Humboldt bar conditions, visit www.wrh.noaa.gov/eka/swan.

The Oceans: Trinidad

The rockfish bite in Trinidad continues to be red hot and you don’t need to travel far. Capt. Curt Wilson of Wind Rose Charters reports a wide open bite right out front of Trinidad. “We’ve been staying close, right in front of Flat Iron and finding all the rockfish and lingcod we need,” said Wilson. “There’s a really good variety, too, including coppers, vermilion, canaries, blacks, blues and lings. The fishing is as good as I’ve seen it in a long time. The crabbing is still good, as we’re getting limits for our clients each trip.” Ocean conditions look fishable for the week out of Trinidad, especially if you’re looking to fish half days.

Shelter Cove

Conditions continue to wreak havoc on the Shelter Cove fleet. “Saturday was brutal, but we were able to get our rockfish limits fishing near the buoys and the Old Man,” said Jake Mitchell of Sea Hawk Sport Fishing. “Only one other boat was out. The ocean was slightly better on Sunday, but we were still fishing in medium whitecaps.

Overall, the conditions have been tough, but the rock fishing is really good when we can get out and hit a variety of spots.

The lingcod bite has been a little tougher.”

Conditions look good for Thursday but the wind will likely return prior to the weekend.

Crescent City

According to Steve Huber of Crescent City Fishing, the rockfish and lingcod bite continues to sizzle. “It hasn’t really mattered which direction you go, there seems to be a good amount and a wide variety of rockfish around,” said Huber. Windy conditions have really hindered both the Pacific

and California halibut effort, reports Britt Carson of Crescent City’s Englund Marine.

“Limits of razor clams are being dug but they’ve been on the small size,” he said.

“Minus tides are on tap through Memorial Day, so it should be a good week. The redtail perch bite continues to improve at Kellogg Beach.”

Brookings

Halibut season is off to a good start out of Brookings, with several fish a day being brought in when the weather is calm, reports Andy Martin of Brookings Fishing Charters. “Fish to 60 pounds have already been caught, with an average size in the mid- to upper 20-pound range. Herring and squid combinations fished in 180 to 230 feet of water are working best. Rockfish are keying on crab spawn, with good topwater action along the inshore reefs.

Lingcod fishing has been very good near the Point St. George Reef lighthouse.”

Lower Rogue

According to Martin, the Rogue spring salmon run has been a complete bust.

“With low flows and warm weather inland, anglers are hoping the Rogue Bay will kick off early. A few kings are often caught in early June before action picks up in late June or early July.” ● Read the complete fishing roundup at www.northcoastjournal.com.

SERIOUSLY?

Updated CDC Guidelines on Monsters

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

E

arlier this month when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated safety guidelines, we understand there was some confusion over the changes, especially in regard to conflicts with state regulations.

New data is constantly emerging and our organization strives to keep up with the latest recommendations from experts.

With that in mind, we’ve broken down some of the best practices regarding monsters, alien creatures, cursed objects and the undead.

Xenomorphs

Vampires

Zombies

It’s funny to think only centuries ago people actually believed bloodsucking creatures roaming the night could be stopped by tossing a handful of salt or grain that they’d be compelled to stop and count. Of course, modern science has confirmed a wooden stake through the heart while they’re in human form is the most effective course of action. Like wiping down your groceries, beheading and burning were recommended when we were still gathering information. But you may as well follow up with those just in case.

As for general public safety, retail operations like shops and restaurants are not required to invite visitors onto their premises and we prefer not to take a position on wearing or bandying about crosses.

Proprietors are similarly on their own as to whether to check for reflections at the door and will receive no assistance with enforcement. Try the honor system.

We’d be remiss if we did not also explicitly debunk the false and dangerous claims by authorities in Texas and Florida that vampires can be identified by glittering skin. Vampires do not glitter. That’s batshit.

Werewolves

The CDC asks for your patience as we review policy changes made in the last four years. We are also scrambling to transition new staff into positions the previous White House administration filled with actual werewolves.

24

Earlier CDC guidelines stated that victims of “facehugger” aliens needed only a 24-hour quarantine once the creature has been removed and/or terminated, or has skittered away of its own volition.

Recent study and the frantic exhortations of the only survivor of previous contact with xenomorphs, however, have led us to recommend the immediate jettisoning of the victim into space. In our defense, she was pretty abrasive.

The CDC stands by its guidance on the highly contagious condition of zombie-ism, whether in its original lumbering, leg-dragging form or the recent so-called “fast zombie” variant: Jesus Christ, take the vaccine now that we have it. We no longer care if you subscribe to the theory of zombie-ism’s origin in a lab or witchcraft — we kind of can’t believe we have to beg you to be inoculated against devolving into the living dead or having to put down your roommate once they start to turn. (If Brad does start to get peckish for human flesh, the CDC, WHO and George Romero all recommend headshots or decapitation by chainsaw or whatever weapons you’ve scavenged from the nearest abandoned sporting goods store.)

Possessed porcelain dolls, sentient ventriloquist’s dummies and other objects thrumming with malevolent power Dumping, burning and exorcising these items have all proven disappointingly ineffective in protecting you or those with whom you have contact. Your best bet is to avoid exposure by not entering high-risk situations. It’s not that hard but then neither is wearing a mask at Costco, and yet here we are. Avoid estate sales at remote mansions, excavations or working as a nanny to eerily mature children, as well

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, May 27, 2021 • northcoastjournal.com

as remaining in close proximity with those who have. (The CDC defines close proximity as spending 15 minutes or more within 6 feet of a person or cursed object over a 24-hour period.) Please use common sense before purchasing preserved monkey paws and the like. Yes, you have the individual right to read aloud from whatever book you may find in a tomb or thatch-roofed cottage in the woods, but really, how important is it to you?

Ghosts

If a spectral entity tells you to get out, through vocalization, messages written in blood on mirrors or walls, a croaking psychic/medium with their eyes rolled back in their head or via Ouija board, the CDC strongly recommends getting out. But sure, go ahead and consult your cousin on Facebook.

Heretofore unknown parasitic life-forms recovered from deep within the Earth’s crust or polar ice caps While the symptoms of contact with such creatures are, for obvious reasons, not

well documented, the CDC recommends isolating from those exhibiting heightened aggression, paranoia and increased desire to lock themselves in a storeroom with you. But even as we race to understand new threats, it’s important we don’t turn on one another or sell out the safety of the group for financial or political gain.

Don’t be the guy who tries to sneak a live sample back to corporate or the military or whatever. Everybody hates that guy.

Much like anti-zombie vaccination, the simple, practical precautions we take to protect ourselves as individuals have reverberating impacts on our communities, be that the larger population, your immediate circle/research team or the last pair of you, locked in a flamethrower standoff on the ice.

Going forward, we’re going to have to trust each other. And keep an eye on Brad. ● Jennifer Fumiko Cahill (she/her) is the arts and features editor at the Journal.

Adventures on the Sesame Train And the simplest recipe

One F Street, eureka

Ca • 707.443.7489

for enjoying it

By Louisa Rogers

onthetable@northcoastjournal.com

I

n the winter of 1974, newly arrived in Vancouver, B.C., I worked as a temp, barely covering my expenses. And with no sense of my professional future, I never worked long enough in any one location to bond with my coworkers. The short, gray winter days didn’t help, either.

After work, walking in the dark to the bus stop, I’d stop at a corner store and buy a candy bar. One day, the Sikh owner, recognizing a familiar customer, said, “Have you tried this? It’s sesame,” and handed me what looked like a wafer wrapped in plastic. One taste of that chewy, nutty sweetness and I was hooked, the flavor transporting me far away from my worries.

Sesame, the oldest known oilseed plant in history, has been cultivated for more than 4,000 years. Originally from Indonesia, sesame seeds made their way to China, Egypt, India and Japan. Oil extraction from sesame seed dates back to 900-700 B.C. in eastern Turkey and it’s been used in China for at least 2,000 years. Researchers believe it was brought into 17th century colonial America by enslaved West Africans.

That transcendent bar was my first stop on my sesame journey. About five years later, having returned to the U.S. and living in Seattle, I tasted a salad dressing of unknown ingredients at Julia’s 14 Carrot Café, an iconic restaurant which still stands today. Julia’s was famous for its eponymous carrot cake and breakfasts, but I went there just for the salad dressing — long before I had heard of its main ingredient, tahini. Now that dressing is marketed as Goddess.

Traveling south in the ’90s, I came upon another sesame dish at a funky diner on El Camino Real in Mountain View. My husband, Barry, and I liked Best Bite for its food, its generous, comfy booths and

its friendly Lebanese owner. Frank would greet us in his black tailored pants and long-sleeved white shirt, waving us over to one of the booths with a dramatic flourish, which always made us laugh, since the restaurant was usually empty. I would always order falafel and hummus, rich with tahini, which was soon to become a household word and a spread you could buy at any mainstream supermarket.

Then, in the year 2000, on a trip to Turkey, I first tasted halvah, the popular Middle Eastern confection consisting of tahini and sugar or honey, sometimes flavored with cocoa powder, pistachio or vanilla.

In the eastern city of Trabzon, near the border with Georgia, we discovered the only dedicated halvah café I’ve ever seen, a brilliant concept I wanted to duplicate in the states. As we entered the cafe, we would ogle the enormous pie-shaped halvah on the counter. After the server cut us a couple of wedges, we’d perch on stools at low tables letting the crumbly halvah dissolve in our mouths as we sipped Turkish tea in fluted glass tumblers. The café is still there — I checked online. I’d go back to Trabzon in a heartbeat just to visit it.

But you don’t have to travel all the way to the Middle East to find halvah — you can buy it at the Co-op, Eureka Natural Foods or Wildberries Market.

I would never have enjoyed my latest adventure with sesame, a dry Japanese condiment called gomashio, had I not been a participant in silent retreats, where it’s usually available. If you’ve ever been to a meditation retreat, you know that food becomes critically important. After all, there’s nothing much around — just you, the other people (whom you’re not supposed to look at), and of course, your mind. When other stimuli are muted, the mind, or at least my mind, often dreams of

food. Sweet food, salty food, sticky food, crunchy food, creamy food, food food.

At the retreats, when the bell would ring, signaling it was time for lunch or dinner, I could barely sit still on my cushion or solemnly stand in line at the food table to wait my turn. I’d always sprinkle gomashio on my brown rice and salad.

The dry mixture is not only delicious, it’s ridiculously simple, consisting only of toasted sesame seeds, whole or ground, and salt. Traditionally, it’s made with a suribachi, a fine-grooved ceramic mortar and a wooden pestle. Any 8 year old could prepare it. No special mortar? All you need is a blender. It’s great just as a snack, or you can add it to rice, pasta, salad, stir-fries or tofu. A spoonful or two of gomashio makes any dish taste better.

Gomashio Ingredients: 1 cup sesame seeds, black or white Salt to taste Instructions: Over medium heat, brown the sesame seeds in a dry frying pan, stirring and shaking the pan to keep the seeds turning.

Watch carefully so they don’t burn (as I have done more than once). They’re done when they are fragrant and, if using white seeds, turn golden. It should take about 3 minutes. Let cool.

Add 1 tablespoon of salt to start and pour the seeds into a blender or food processor. Pulse until the mixture is the consistency of sand. Adjust the salt as needed and pulse again to blend. ● Louisa Rogers (she/her) is a leadership coach and writer who lives in Eureka and Guanajuato, Mexico.

The Poverty of Excess

Army of the Dead and The Paper Tigers

By John J. Bennett

screens@northcoastjournal.com

REVIEWS

It has been, oh, 14 and a half months since I last went to the movies. The opportunity has arisen, recently, with the advent of COVID-19 vaccines and, before that, a collective denial/resignation/relaxing of the guard due to fatigue, frustration and, in some cases, willful ignorance. But because of the embarrassment of riches brought to us by the age of streaming services (and because I’m a recluse at heart) I haven’t felt compelled to go. Regular readers of this column (if there are any) are all too familiar with my litany of complaints about other people and their poor manners poisoning the theatrical experience; the outbreak of plague was really an excuse to not leave the house.

My anti-social proclivities aside, though, the last year and change has also ushered in an era wherein our choice of entertainments has broadened and deepened, a sort-of return to the halcyon video store days of my (maybe) misspent youth. Back then, at the end of an era, a good video store could provide a self-guided education in world cinema, with opportunities to find value in the finest of art and the trashiest of trash. Of course, streaming services have been around long enough to be taken for granted. But in the wake of the pandemic, with studios temporarily unable to dictate what we will all have access to on a given weekend, not only do we have more choices, but more movies have the opportunity of being seen. It is debatable, for example, that another year of slogging to the multiplex would have presented the opportunity, or left the mental bandwidth, to find and enjoy movies like The Vast of Night, Bad Education, The Assistant, Crip Camp or Never Rarely Sometimes Always.

This period of abundance is not without its cost, though. It’s easy to revel in the possibilities, to wander down the virtual aisles of however many streaming apps with which one may have blessed/ burdened oneself, marvelling at the notion that, for once, technology has gotten it right. But provided almost infinite options,

sometimes the well runs dry or maybe sometimes we get it wrong. And this time I can’t blame Marvel, George Lucas or any of my other favorite straw men. Well, I still could but I’ll take the fall for this one.

ARMY OF THE DEAD. Zack Snyder’s career is a tricky one to parse. I still have an abiding fondness for his Dawn of the Dead (2004) remake, as well as his adaptation of Alan Moore’s Watchmen (2009).

Pretty much everything else, though, I could take or gladly leave. His 300 (2006) seems to age worse with every passing year. Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole (2010) remains somewhat inscrutable in my recollection. And Sucker Punch (2011), well, the less said, the better.

His late period work is almost exclusively under the DC banner and the very prospect of it leaves me generally disinterested. I’m sure there’s some value/enjoyment to be had, but as the MCU movies are almost universally too self-serious and outsized for me, the dour, unfunny brand alternative isn’t much of an alternative at all.

Still, Snyder is an undeniable stylist and when some humor sneaks in, the movies can really get going. So it was with tempered excitement that I approached Army of the Dead, which promised not only a zombie apocalypse but “the greatest heist ever attempted.” Turns out to be a little of both and not enough of either for about an hour too long.

Some years after the U.S. government has given Las Vegas over to the undead horde and a few weeks before its planned destruction by nuclear device, a shady casino owner — is there any other kind?

— named Bly Tanaka (Hiroyuki Sanada) approaches veteran zombie killer/line cook Scott Ward (Dave Bautista) to assemble a team, sneak back into Vegas and liberate the $200 million in cash Tanaka left behind in his vault. Of course, nothing is as simple as it would seem: Zombies have feelings, too; Scott has nightmares and wants to reconcile with his daughter (Ella Purnell); and Tanaka’s man in the field (Garret Dillahunt) might be a chaos agent. There’s

Army of the Dead

also a quasi-allegorical subplot about the “quarantine camp” adjacent to the city that’s being used as a detainment center for immigrants and other “undesirables.”

There is fun to be had and the action sequences throb with customary Snyder violence, but the whole thing is woefully unkempt, overlong and needlessly grave.

Bautista is learning how to act for the camera, though. R. 148M. BROADWAY, NETFLIX. THE PAPER TIGERS. As an antidote to the bombast of Army of the Dead, I sought out an independent picture of the type I would be unlikely to see in a theater, ever. This is certainly that and, while good-hearted and well-enough acted, it probably doesn’t have much business doing much business.

The three disciples of Sifu Cheung (Roger Yuan) have grown from rowdy kung fu bad boys into middle-aged men with workaday problems. Danny (Alain Uy) struggles to maintain shared custody of his son Ed, despite constantly letting the kid down. Hing (Ron Yuan) lives on settlement checks for a jobsite injury and can’t acknowledge the passage of time. Jim (Mykel Shannon Jenkins) has forgotten his training and replaced it with Brazilian jiu jitsu (at which everyone seems to unfairly look down their nose). When Sifu dies under suspicious circumstances, the three are brought back together to — rather haphazardly, it must be said — attempt to identify the killer and get their fighting groove back.

This is the sort of movie that I very much want to like but it can’t quite meet me halfway. The fights are staged in a low-key, effective manner, but the plot and characterizations don’t yield much for us to invest in. It is intermittently silly,

maudlin and directionless. By the time it musters some narrative and emotional strength in the final act, it’s too little too late. PG13. 108M. AMAZON PRIME. l John J. Bennett (he/him) is a movie nerd who loves a good car chase.

by John Bartholomew, Humboldt County Tax Collector at 825 5th Street, Room 125, Eureka, California 95501 (707)476-2450.

I certify or (declare), under penalty of perjury, that the foregoing is true and correct.

John Bartholomew Humboldt County Tax Collector Executed at Eureka, Humboldt County, California, on May 15th, 2021. Published in the North Coast Journal on May 20th, May 27th and June 3rd, 2021

NOTICE OF IMPENDING POWER TO SELL TAX-DEFAULTED PROPERTY Revenue and Taxation Code Section 3361, 3362 Pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code 3691 and 3692.4, the following conditions will, by operation of law, subject real property to the Tax Collector’s power to sell.

1) All property for which property taxes and assessments have been in default for five or more years.

Note: The power to sell schedule for nonresidential commercial property is three or more years of tax-defaulted status, unless the county adopts, by ordinance or resolution, the five-year tax default schedule.

2) All property that has a nuisance abatement lien recorded against it and for which property taxes and assessments have been in default for three or more years.

3) Any property that has been identified and requested for purchase by a city, county, city and county or nonprofit organization to serve the public benefit by providing housing or services directly related to low-income persons and for which property taxes and assessments have been in default for three or more years.

The parcels listed herein meet one or more of the criteria listed above and thus, will become subject to the Tax Collector’s power to sell on July 1, 2021, at 12:01 a.m., by operation of law. The Tax Collector’s power to sell will arise unless the property is either redeemed or made subject to an installment plan of redemption initiated as provided by law prior to close of business on the last business day in June. The right to an installment plan terminates on the last business day in June, and after that date the entire balance due must be paid in full to prevent sale of the property at public auction.

The right of redemption survives the property becoming subject to the power to sell, but it terminates at close of business on the last business day prior to the date of the sale by the Tax Collector.

All information concerning redemption or the initiation of an installment plan of redemption will be furnished, upon request, by John Bartholomew, Humboldt County Tax Collector, 825 5th Street, Room 125, Eureka, CA 95501, (707)476-2450.

The amount to redeem, including all penalties and fees, as of June 2021, is shown opposite the assessment/parcel number and next to the name of the assessee.

LEGAL NOTICES

Humboldt 815 17th St Eureka, CA 95501 PO Box 6146 Eureka, CA 95502 Todd B Williams 815 17th St Eureka, CA 95501

Jean N. Leamy June 25, 1926 – December 11, 2020 Love is the Key to Life Jean was born in Colorado and moved with her parents and older sister to Los Angeles, CA, when she was 2 years old.

When Jean was 20 years old she married John Leamy. They raised 6 children in Redondo Beach, CA. A treasured memory all her children share is the freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, warm and ready to enjoy when they got home from school.

Jean was the family touchstone. She connected all through her gift of maternal listening and perceptive insight. More than anything, Jean wished her family to know that each and every one of them is greatly loved.

Jean bought a house on Humboldt Hill where her love for Humboldt blossomed in her heart. She read stories to children at the Humboldt County Library, was a docent at the Clarke Historical Museum and volunteered at American Cancer Society Discovery Shop in Henderson Center.

Favorites of Jean’s were to host family crab feeds, Shively summer corn, walks at King Salmon and picnics at Patrick’s Point and all through Humboldt.

She was active in a local knitting group and won blue ribbons at the Ferndale and Redwood Acres Fairs for her sweaters, blankets and shawls.

Jean was a devoted Catholic. She did not speak much about her religion, rather she demonstrated being love in the way she lived her life. And, she was so much fun to be with!

When Jean passed at age 94, she lived in Encinitas, CA. Four of her six children and their families live in the surrounding San Diego area. The ocean is a special place for all the family. Her children living near her faithfully brought her to walk at the beach at Tabletops in Cardiff, CA, nearly every day.

She has 6 children, 12 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren who are listed below.

Jean’s children and their spouses: Mike & Anita Leamy, Mark Leamy, Clare Vettes, Janet & Jeff Paden, Sheila Boddy, Cathy & Jim Glass.

Grandchildren and their spouses: Kristina & Adam Lamas, Cari Leamy, Sean Leamy, Aaron Hedburg, Josh & Heidi Hedburg, Charlie Vettes, Clare Paden, Kelsey Paden, Glenn & Marissa Paden, Sierra Boddy, Caroline Glass and Nathaniel Glass.

Great grandchildren: Kailyn Leamy, Maya Lamas, Ella Leamy, Jack and Jake Hedburg, Hudson and Knox Paden.
