Tom Jackson is doing a great job!

The following alumni, donors, community members and staff believe Dr. Jackson has handled the situation at Humboldt correctly with his measured response and we support him. We believe in free speech, but we do not condone the vandalism and damage that took place! We believe that any professors or students that caused damage to the University should be held accountable and all who caused damage should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law! It is wrong that less than 100 students disrupted the education of more than 5,000 students!

I am astonished at the total ignorance displayed by Humboldt County Civil Grand Jury in recommending a civilian oversight board be established to provide oversight of the sheriff’s office (“Grand Jury Recommends Civilian Oversight of Sheriff’s Office,” May 23). I am even more astonished that they would ask the board of supervisors to establish it using the Eureka Police Department as an example. The chief of the EPD is an appointed position. He serves at the direction of the city council. Sheriff Honsal, as in most cases, is an elected official and is the chief law enforcement officer of the county. Sheriffs elected by the “people” are referred to as “constitutional sheriffs.” They serve at the will of the people. Constitutional sheriffs do not take direction from boards of supervisors or citizen groups. They give direction to those groups. That is the law. Such efforts, as proposed, tend to hamstring law enforcement, not improve it. The current sheriff is answerable to the people only and if the people have an issue, they can recall the sheriff or vote him out of office. Humboldt County doesn’t need that kind of added bureaucracy.

Re: ‘Enabling’

Editor:

The letter “Enabling an Anti-Semitic Moment” (May 23) opined that since the Jewish people were dispossessed from their land 3,000 years ago by successive empires, the Jewish people have the right to repossess Israel. Is this opinion based on G-d’s law, tribal law or international law?

Does this opinion mean that us white folk in the USA should give our land back to the Native Americans who occupied this land for thousands of years before being dispossessed by European empires?

If so, will the U.S. see the justice [?] of this land rights policy and use its mighty powers to keep the peace and get it done equitably? It doesn’t seem feasible. The American government and people can hardly agree on anything. Will Europe want us added to their immigration woes? Israel is committed to welcoming us Jews as citizens, but will they have a change of heart faced with taking in how many millions of us? Not to mention they are currently very preoccupied with fighting among themselves and others about justice, property rights, war and peace. Maybe enough land can be carved out within our borders so we can

Forget it. Property rights defy simplistic thinking. I hope all people who believe G-d justifies murder and mayhem come to their senses.

I’m glad I don’t have to resettle in Israel or Russia, the homeland of my grandparents before they fled Jewish persecution in the early 1900s. I’m very thankful that Native American tribes peacefully accept us white folk. Needless to say, they don’t have a choice.

May G-d, the Great Spirit, and/or whatever forces exist, help us floundering mortals save ourselves and the Earth. Can AI help?

Editor:

Nam Abram’s letter to the editor ignited a predictable collection of anti-Zionist, anti-colonialist effigies (Mailbox, May 30). Does being anti-Zionist automatically translate to being antisemitic, specifically anti-Jewish? The question begs for a binary answer which is in itself a misdirection.

Anti-Zionism has historically been used as a cloak by some — if not many — to conceal antisemitism. While not all anti-Zionist chatter is automatically antisemitic, history demonstrates that antisemitism changes form and modality to suit or obscure its proponent. So just when you’ve spotted it, out come the red herrings: the context shifts, splits, gets diverted, inverted, etc.

To those who responded to Nam’s letter, I ask: who elected Hamas? Who re-elected Hamas? Would any of you support the re-establishment of a Hamasrun government? Whether out of fear, anger or necessity, the voters of Gaza who put Hamas in power have in effect brought this response upon themselves — twice. And just like the German voters of 1932 would later discover, simple, heartwrought solutions can produce unintended consequences.

Who is subsidizing Hamas? Who funded the Oct. 7 sneak attack on Israel about which only one of the May 30 edition’s letters gave even the briefest mention? Continued on page 7 »

Does the name Iran ring a bell? Who are the protestors wittingly or unwittingly assisting?

Citing Thomas Friedman’s April 14 piece in the New York Times, “One reason Iran supports the Hamas war and prefers that Israel remain stuck in Gaza and occupying the West Bank is that it keeps the world and many Americans focused on Israeli actions — rather than on the brutal crackdown against democracy protesters in Iran and on Iran’s imperialist influence in the region, where it uses proxies to control the politics of Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Yemen, and uses those countries as military bases to attack Israel.”

H. Schneider, Los Angeles Editor:

Thank you to Maxwell Schnurer for sharing a di erent perspective of the occupation and protests at CPH (“In Defense of the Siemens Hall Occupation,” May 16). It is easy to feel helpless as a mere citizen when hearing about the war-crimes and unimaginable atrocities occurring in other parts of the world. These students felt they had to do something to show their disagreement with what is happening. Regardless of whether the administration or the protestors are responsible for the damage to property, and disruption to classes and graduation, the protestors made their feelings known. I think most of us would hope that if our communities were being bombed and starved, humans in other places would cause some inconvenience, create some scenes, and take whatever means necessary to stand up and try to help us.

I am someone who was raised Jewish, went to Jewish schools and Jewish summer camps, and I have no relatives left in Europe because everyone who didn’t come to the U.S. was killed. I was subtly indoctrinated with the idea that another Holocaust could happen and the way to prevent it was to band together and support Israel and Zionism at all costs. This ideology doesn’t serve to create peace. I feel far more threatened by war-mongering leaders, politicians funded by weapons manufacturers and fundamentalists of any religion than people speaking out against Israel or questioning the rationale of a Jewish state founded on the displacement of Palestinians. Would we think it was fair to be exiled from our homes? Would we think it was reasonable to blow up our hospitals if terrorists were believed to be hiding under them? No human is sub-human. As people, we must see others’ struggle, su ering and grief as equally valid to our own and our ancestors’. That is the only path forward.

‘Get Serious’

Editor:

In your editorial (“Our Last Best Chance,” April 11), the North Coast Journal understated the concerns of the Yurok Tribe, and the Bear River and Trinidad rancherias. As you describe it, in their dismissal of the Monument Ridge project proposed by Terra-Gen in 2019, the nonindigenous community, sacrificing the hope of prosperity and fossil-free energy, generously bent over backward in atonement for the genocide of the tribes’ ancestors.

Somehow you missed the point made by the Wiyot elders at the Adorni Center in those last dramatic moments of the supervisors’ vote. Terra-Gen o ered the Wiyot a million dollars to back o . As traditional protectors of the earth, tribal elders stepped forward.

In their response, “We do not sell our Mother,” they nailed it … not for the tribes alone, but for all of us. If, as you state, these o shore turbines play an “outsized” role in global e orts to wean from fossil fuel, they also make an “outsized” contribution to immediate catastrophic CO2 accumulation. Like nuclear power plants, like turning our carbon-sequestering forests into biomass for marketable wood pellets, like our insane wars for power, a monster industrial project like these giant turbines further degrades and disempowers us.

Our coast and harbor, last on the coast to retain some of its pristine beauty, oyster beds, salmon, pelicans, biological functions, will be lost forever. We have barely begun to address our own consumptive habits, and have rejected the humbler universal rooftop-solar partial solution. We need to get serious about what we’re facing, rather than perpetuating denial by throwing the responsibility for our atmosphere on to a multinationalcorporate industrialization and colonization of the shoreline and ocean. Tribal concerns address human survival. They are our concerns, too.

School (AHS). Why didn’t Mr. Macdonald know, after years as superintendent, that he (allegedly) didn’t complete suspension paperwork correctly?

Districts have various suspension “signature and review” policies as part of the managerial structure. AHS has one vice principal for 1,000-plus students, and no school resource o cer (SRO). By any measure it’s understa ed, and an open campus, which doesn’t help. An additional VP, and hiring an SRO, should be district priorities.

Facebook page, I wonder if the publisher and sta believe it’s important to allow participation and open debate when conservative voices on the platform have been blocked.

Dennis Scales, Fortuna

Editor:

Based on the timeline, what “happened” occurred early in Mr. Perry’s tenure. Why retain him? Perhaps he learned, and his performance improved. Regarding the threat investigation, there’s no substantive information. From personal experience, AHS doesn’t contact law enforcement in most “threat” situations, preferring de-escalation through communication, following district policy.

By now, we’ve all heard the news that Donald Trump was found guilty of all 34 felony counts of falsifying his company’s business records to keep information from voters that he knew would harm his 2016 presidential campaign.

This isn’t just about “hush money” payments. It’s about breaking the law to hide the truth from the American people 11 days before a presidential election.

Trump has a clear pattern of lying to the American people and trying to undermine our elections in order to cling to power. He still faces three additional indictments and 54 criminal charges, including federal charges for inciting an insurrection to overturn the 2020 election. In spite of all of this, he’s still running for president.

Mr. Macdonald’s tone is authoritarian: “If you do not make an appointment with me, I will assume you fully understand your obligations and are prepared to comply with them.” Leadership is an ongoing relationship requiring trust, and collaborative respect. Both his tone, and disclosure of the letter, should concern any administrator.

Regarding public process, the board should release the meeting dates, minutes, and costs incurred for independent counsel investigations.

The board has a responsibility to each student. Did “each” fall under this decision’s umbrella? What if Mr. Perry’s demotion results in greater damage? Mr. Macdonald emphasizes policies, procedures and the law. Many NHUHSD board policies were last updated in 2010 when NCLB not LCAP was California’s legislated instructional policy. Perhaps the superintendent and board should look inwards.

Trump and Democracy

Editor,

Ted Pease, a “journalist,” decries the death of participatory democracy with his letter to the editor to the NCJ. In his screed, he falsely attributes the actions of a deranged mass murder to President Trump. The details of the Baltimore Capital Gazette murders are easily obtained with an online search and the crime is only the responsibility of the criminal.

He also attributes political and cultural disagreements to the “Hate Right” and “MAGAs” as destroying the willingness to participate or listen free and open debate.

As a consumer of the weekly newspaper the NCJ and a once avid poster on its

Donald Trump is a convicted fraudster and criminal who still poses a massive threat to our fundamental freedoms. We can’t let him hold the highest o ce in our land in 2025. It’s up to all of us to hold him accountable and defeat him at the ballot box in November.

Kristan Trunzo, Eureka

Editor:

Thank you for Ted Pease’s May 30 letter, “The Death of Participatory Democracy.” He writes that because of threats of violence, public o cials live in terror of the people they serve.

No one is exempt — from local clerks and county supervisors to state and national representatives. Everyone and anyone can be targeted for holding a di erent view from the violent ones, from the ones who use weapons and threats rather than the law, reason and truth — the ones who are led by Donald Trump. Already in this country a chill is descending on our freedom and willingness to speak. I agree with Ted Pease that freedom is crushed by those who will neither listen, nor participate in free and open debate.

Condor Check-in

The North Coast flock expands its range as a new cohort of birds waits in the wings

By Kimberly Wear kim@northcoastjournal.com

The North Coast’s 11 condors “looked great” after undergoing recent medical exams, according to an update from the Northern California Condor Restoration Program, a Yurok Tribe-led effort to bring the bird known as prey-go-neesh back to the upper reaches of the endangered species’ former range.

The annual spring evaluations are not only an opportunity for the program’s team to do hands-on assessments, including taking blood samples to test for potential health threats, but to make any needed repairs to the birds’ satellite transmitters and identification tags.

In the May 16 update, NCCRP Manager and Yurok Wildlife Department Senior Biologist Chris West noted none of the condors had any ”detectable levels of lead in the blood.”

As an apex scavenger, condors serve as “nature’s clean-up crew,” scouring the landscape of large carcasses and, in turn, helping prevent the spread of diseases. But that ecological role also makes the largest bird in North America — boasting a nearly 10-foot wingspan and weighing 20 pounds or more — vulnerable to being poisoned by lead ammunition fragments in the

carrion, which accounts for about half of condor deaths in the wild.

In October, one of the local condors needed to undergo treatment at the Sequoia Park Zoo and five others were found to have elevated levels of the toxin after they ate remains of an elk killed by a poacher in Redwood National and State Parks, which was believed to be the con tamination source.

And that came after a close call a year earlier, when two tainted elk were found within the fledgling flock’s range — with just one of the poached animals contain ing enough lead bullet fragments to kill several condors, according to the Yurok Tribe. At the time, West described the incident as being “as close as you can get to a worst-case scenario.”

(It should be noted that those near misses came despite California banning the use of lead ammunition for hunting in 2019 and the Yurok Tribe spending years working to educate hunters about non-lead ammunition options before ever bringing the condors to the North Coast.)

But humans and the birds’ natural predators aren’t the only dangers lurking for condors. Last year, an avian flu

i g n i t e y o u r p a s s i o n f o r r a c i n g !

outbreak killed at least 22 members of the Southwest population living in Arizona and Utah.

With a recently approved vaccine now in hand, the NCCRP team took advantage of this recent check-up session to also administer the two-dose series to the eight eldest members of the flock.

Those include Ney-gem’ ‘Ne-chweenkah (She Carries Our Prayers, A0), Hlow Hoo-let (Finally, I/We Fly, A1), Nes-kwechokw’ (He Returns/Arrives, A2) and Poy’-we-son (The One Who Goes Ahead or Leader, A3) as well as Cher-perhl Sonee-ne-pek’ (I Feel Strong, A4); and Neee’n (Watcher, A5), ‘Me-new-kwek,’ (I’m Bashful or I Am Shy, A6) and He-we-chek’ (I Am Healthy or I Get Well, A7).

In November, the newest members, Pey-gel (Fighter, B0), Pue-leek (Downriver, B1) and Pey-cheek (Upriver, B2), became the first vaccinated condors in the nation to take flight in the wild after being inoculated as part of a trial program at the Los Angeles Zoo.

According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the vaccine “should provide some level of protection from mortality if the birds are exposed to the virus, and likely decrease the degree to which an individual becomes ill.”

In a recent email to the Journal, Tiana Williams-Claussen, director of the Yurok Tribe Wildlife Department said, “all of the North Coast’s condors are now either fully or partially vaccinated, and the A-series birds currently in holding are slated to receive their second dose soon, to be released soon after, presuming all goes well.”

She added she expected the condors currently being held in the release enclosure to be once again soaring over the North Coast by mid-June.

California condors were declared endangered back in 1967, when fewer than 100 survived outside of zoos. But as the wild population continued to dwindle over the next 20 years — with only 22 re-

maining in a small pocket of mountainous area in Southern California — they were placed into captive breeding programs in 1987 in a race against time to save the bird from extinction.

As of December, the latest numbers available from USFW, the nation’s condor population now stands at 561, with 344 flying free as part of restoration efforts, including 195 birds in California.

Among the latter are the North Coast’s 11 birds, with the condors’ return to the region in 2022 culminating decades of work by the Yurok Tribe to bring back prey-goneesh —a bird that the tribe and many Indigenous cultures consider sacred — to once again soar over their ancestral lands.

In the two years since A3 and A2 became the first of the flock to spread their wings in the skies over Yurok country after a century-long absence, the birds mostly stuck close to the release site around the Bald Hills area of the Redwood National and State Parks, a partner in the restoration endeavor.

But things started picking up speed around April, with the birds “consistently expanding their range week after week,” according to a social media post by the NCCRP.

“Within their new range, the condors have flown over Tolowa Dee-ni’, Yurok, Karuk, Hupa, Chilula, Wiyot, Wintu, Pomo, Bear River Band of Rohnerville Rancheria, and neighboring traditional tribal lands, including Eureka, Blue Lake, Arcata, Ferndale, Hoopa, Orleans, Klamath, Crescent City, Berry Glenn, Dinsmore and Rio Dell, amongst other locations,” the NCCRP states.

(Read more about a recent sighting in this week’s Get Out “Condors Over Arcata” on page 25.)

Williams-Claussen told the Journal those journeys have also seen the condors scavenging more in the outside world.

“We are happy to see them expanding, and to be finding more wild forage,” Williams-Claussen said. “We are still consistently providing them food because

we want to keep them tuned into the management facility, so that they keep returning for their health checks, but they definitely have been taking advantage of that wild food.”

Another milestone for the flock is slated to take place sometime this summer, when seven more birds are expected to join the fold.

“We are currently still in discussion of final placement of birds throughout the current California condor recovery program, but it does look like we are still to receive our two delayed birds (due to the avian flu outbreak) from last year, coming from the Oregon Zoo, as well as an additional five to be coming from the LA Zoo,” she said.

As to the potential big step of a homegrown boost in the local condor population’s numbers, don’t get any hopes up yet for the fluttering of little prey-go-neesh wings.

Aside from viruses and man-made dangers, one of the other main challenges to the condors’ survival comes down to simple biology — the birds are late bloomers in the avian world.

On top of that, condors are highly social and heavily dependent on elders showing them the survival ropes. So, with no adult birds around to act as examples, the mating game might take a little longer.

But even if the North Coast flock’s oldest members are quick on the uptake, Williams-Claussen noted those birds are just 5 years old right now.

“Typically, condors don’t find mates until 6 to 8 years old, so we’ve got a bit of time yet,” she said. “That said, you can really see the difference in maturity between the 5 and 4 year olds, which is interesting to observe.” l

The Path Toward Medicare for All

By Patty Harvey newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

Recently Mad River Community Hospital faced the prospect of selling out to a corporate group from Texas. Is Mad River Hospital now an endangered species like so many of our rural hospitals? Recently, Blue Shield and Providence (the conglomerate owner of St. Joseph’s Hospital) struggled with a contract dispute that could have banished many people from the Providence system. In Humboldt County, it’s nearly impossible to find even primary care while a ordable dentistry and specialty care are even more daunting. The dispute was finally settled — for now — with no guarantees for the future.

Some 100 million in the U.S. struggle with medical debt, totaling $140 billion, according to a New York Times report, a crippling financial burden and the greatest cause of bankruptcy in our nation. Not to mention inability to access health care that causes the loss of life and health of millions of residents. What can be done to repair our disintegrating healthcare system?

Sixty years ago President Lyndon Johnson ushered in the revered and necessary program of Medicare. Conservative forces almost immediately compromised that program by demanding a “skin-in-the-game” 20-percent co-pay on Medicare’s Part B, a move that set the scene for increased weakening of Medicare as a safety net for elders and the disabled.

The “Balanced Budget Act of 1997” created “Medicare + Choice,” a forerunner of Medicare Advantage (MA), an assault on traditional Medicare that consummated a 30-year project of the ultra-conservative Heritage Foundation. As Dr. Robyn Stone, assistant director of health and human services under President Clinton, observed, Medicare Advantage was the “beginning of the end of entitlements for the Medicare Program.”

The flaws of MA are legion and now well-publicized. Despite o ering programs with little or no premiums and sweetened by promises of tasty perks like “help” (marginal and often not widely available) with dental and vision bills plus other pseudo-enticements in the form of gym membership and even groceries, MA enrollees feel initially satisfied. As long as they stay relatively healthy, those perks and low premiums are almost impossible to pass up, especially for poorer folks. But later on, prior authorization requirements produce delays and denials of care, while need for specialized care puts people out of network with unknown and often perilous cost. Returning to traditional Medicare becomes nearly impossible.

The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) keeps warning that “Medicare is going broke.” Here’s why: the largely unchecked MA runaway train is also a big player in feeding at the public trough, as it gulps down billions of dollars every year from overpayments gouged out of the Medicare Trust fund by making its enrollees look sicker than they are and keeping funds intended for medical treatment as profits. An October 2023 exhaustive study from Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP.org), “Our Payments, Their Profits,” shows overpayments to MA programs from $88 to $140 billion per year.

What then is to be done? MA, for example, now enrolls a majority of seniors eligible for Medicare. MA’s tentacles reach deeply into the financial and social structure of the nation. As such, it is unlikely any mechanism exists where it can be decreed, “Medicare Advantage now is outlawed.”

We can, however, talk about a concept of “leveling the playing field.” Where would that start? Forget trying to eliminate the programs that put huge profit over patients. Instead, why not claw back the illegally gained funds to

level the playing field between traditional Medicare and MA?

If we recouped those lost billions of dollars and gave them instead to traditional Medicare to o er (but fully paid for) the same benefits as MA — dental, vision, hearing, long-term care and eliminate Part B’s 20-percent premiums, who would then choose a Medicare Advantage program of narrow networks, pre-authorizations, delays and denials of care and squandering of tax dollars? Traditional Medicare would become a top, one-stop choice for all seniors while the MA blood supply would shrivel. And then, finally, we could begin to expand real, improved Medicare to everyone from cradle to grave, a program that would save some 40,000 lives and $350 billion per year for individuals, families, businesses and government agencies.

It all depends on political will that is not turned by financial quid pro quo. Our goal is to elect representatives who will hear us, and they will if we speak loudly enough — as the late Everett Dirksen once observed, “When I feel the heat I see the light!” It’s time to call, email, write, heat them up and insist on passage in the House of Representatives of HR 3421 (Jayapal), the Health Care for All Bill.

Eureka Schools Amends Property Exchange Agreement, Sets Escrow Deadline

Eureka City Schools has entered into an amended property exchange agreement with a mystery developer looking to acquire its old Jacobs Middle School site that stipulates the parties should close escrow on the deal on or before July 11.

Meanwhile, the California Highway Patrol seems to be back at the negotiating table for the old campus it had hoped to purchase and turn into its Northern Humboldt headquarters until the district, seemingly out of nowhere, entered into an exchange agreement with a newly formed company — AMG Communities-Jacobs, LLC — on Dec. 14.

CHP had not been included as an identified negotiating party in closed session agenda items regarding the Jacobs campus in the months immediately following the district board’s decision to exchange 8.35 acres of the Allard Avenue property for a small, residential property on I Street and a $5.35 million cash payment. But the district then resumed listing CHP as a negotiating party in April.

Superintendent Gary Storts said the district continues to work toward closing the exchange with AMG but remains in contact with CHP because it “has continued to express interest in the property.”

A series of documents released in response to Journal requests, meanwhile, shows things slowly plodding forward under the exchange agreement.

The parties entered an amended agreement April 4 that for the first time sets a hard target date for the close of escrow, though the July 11 date can be pushed back if mutually agreed to by both parties. Additionally, the amended agreement sets a schedule for AMG to address “disapproved conditions” at the I Street

property and for the district to survey and subdivide the property. The agreement also required AMG, which previously had only put down a $1,000 independent consideration fee in order to enter into the exchange deal valued at $6 million, to put down a $100,000 deposit — a requirement that the document says stems from the developer’s desire “to demonstrate its commitment to the exchange.”

It’s worth noting, though, that the additional deposit is to be fully refunded to AMG “promptly” if the parties fail to close escrow. (This, it’s further worth noting, is in contrast to the non-refundable $35,000 deposit AMG had put down weeks earlier to enter into an agreement to purchase the I Street property, according to the document, which would be well beyond the typically required 3-percent deposits for residential real estate transactions.)

Eureka City Manager Miles Slattery said the district has not yet officially started the process with the city necessary to subdivide the 8.35 acres of the former school site included in the agreement from some adjacent fields the district will retain. But Slattery said he’s informed the district it will take the city just about a week or so to consider a subdivision request after receiving a site survey, so the district still has time to meet the July 11 escrow deadline.

Meanwhile, in a Feb. 26 letter, Eureka City Schools notified an attorney representing AMG that inspections had revealed a number of problems with the I Street property it would be getting back in the exchange, ostensibly for workforce housing. Specifically, the letter noted the property’s sewer connections “require certifications,” its accessory dwelling unit improvements were not “built pursu-

ant to an approved permit” and garage improvements “are not code compliant.” The letter also advises that the property’s pest inspection report indicates further inspections are required, that standing water under the building’s substructure also requires further inspection and a tree leaning against its roof need to be removed.

Under the amended agreement, AMG is required to provide regular updates on its work to address those issues and either have them all “cured” by June 15, after which the district will have 14 days to reinspect the property.

An April 30 update provided by AMG’s attorney indicates that, two months after the district’s letter, the developer had not taken action on any of the issues raised except the pest inspection. That inspection identified some needed plumbing work, chemical treatment to eradicate wood boring beetles, installation of a wood retaining wall and replacement of some damaged siding, but also noted some portions of the structure needing inspection could not be accessed for a variety of reasons.

The developer’s May 31 update to the district, meanwhile, notes the previously requested pest inspection report had been provided and responds to the other 13 “disapproved conditions” with the line, “AMG is in the process of gathering quotes for a comprehensive repair contractor.”

While the amended exchange agreement requires the work be done by June 14, it also provides some leeway by allowing AMG to increase its cash payment to the district to make up for work it is unable to complete by the deadline.

As is the case with the first exchange agreement, the amended version is signed on behalf of AMG by Texas-based attorney Brad Johnson, who is listed as the LLC’s manager on documents filed with the California Secretary of State’s O ce by Amador city attorney Thomas Swett. According to documents released to the Journal pursuant to a public records request filed with the school district, the two attorneys seem to have been the district’s only points of contact for AMG. Who the LLC’s principles are remains a mystery, with Johnson and a spokesperson for the LLC having repeatedly declined to identify them. A website created by the company initially identified its backer as “a small investment firm,” but a spokesperson responding to Journal questions later said it is a “private group of small individ-

ual and family investors” that does not include local businessman Robin Arkley.

AMG’s website and spokesperson have repeatedly gone out of their way to distance the property acquisition from Arkley and his e orts to thwart Eureka’s plans to convert city-owned parking lots in Old Town and downtown into apartment buildings to address the city’s housing shortage.

In addition to backing an e ort to file a host of lawsuits challenging the city’s plans, Arkley has also bankrolled an initiative on the November ballot that would likely block the city’s development plans by adding onerous parking requirements to all developments in Old Town and downtown, while rezoning the Jacobs campus site for multi-family development. Early skeptics of the initiative pointed out that the campus was owned by the district, which, having declared it surplus property, was then in ongoing negotiations to sell it to CHP for a reported o er of $4 million, arguing the zoning change was unlikely to result in construction of the hundreds of housing units the initiative’s backers were projecting.

AMG then seemingly came out of nowhere to o er the property exchange agreement with the district, an agreement that was ratified two days after the LLC was legally formed and signed by Johnson, who it’s worth noting represents both the group legally challenging the city’s housing development plans and proponents of the initiative.

A subsequent records request filed by the Journal with the school district seeking documents and correspondences referencing the proposed property exchange revealed virtually no paper trail exists leading up to approval of the exchange agreement. If there were any of the documents that would typically be generated by a public agency negotiating such a transaction — emails scheduling meetings, phone calls or site visits, or evidence of due diligence, like requests for financial documents or records associated with the property the district was looking to acquire — the district maintains they are no longer in its possession.

A CHP spokesperson did not immediately respond to a Journal inquiry regarding the agency’s ongoing interest in the Jacobs site.

No Safe Parking

Hailed as a success, Humboldt’s only program comes to a close due to a lack of funding

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

It’s a morning in early January and Arcata House Partnership Executive Director Darlene Spoor is addressing the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors at the invitation of Third District Supervisor Mike Wilson. The board is holding a public hearing to consider extending a temporary ordinance making it easier for organizations to open so-called sanctuary parking shelters in the county for another two years, hoping it will provide some much-needed relief to the local homeless crisis. Spoor, whose organization had opened and run the only safe parking program operating in Northern California, is there as a kind of expert witness.

Spoor explains that the program initially opened at the behest of and funded by the city of Arcata has at that point served 128 people, providing more than 14,500 “bed nights,” or nights they weren’t classified as unsheltered on the streets. Thirty percent of people who entered the program were moved into permanent housing, she says, explaining that the program doesn’t just provide folks a place to sleep in their vehicles where they won’t be ticketed, but also provides intensive case management, housing and job search assistance, and a bevy of other services.

To underscore the program’s successes, she turns to specifics. There was the 71-year-old woman who came to the program “frightened” and with mobility issues, having become homeless for the first time in her life after an eviction.

“We got her into the program and eventually got her permanently rehoused on a rapid re-housing voucher,” Spoor says.

She then shares the story of a 51-yearold nurse who’d had a family and a stable home before domestic violence left her homeless with a traumatic brain injury.

“She trusted no one,” Spoor says, explaining she’d been in and out of several programs but just “kept fleeing.”

Arca-

ta House’s outreach staff convinced her to come to the safe parking program, saying she could stay in her own vehicle with her cat.

The woman spent six months there, Spoor says.

“Today, she’s housed,” she says, adding the woman still receives case management services through Arcata House and “is stable,” before pausing a moment. “We have dozens of these stories. What we’re not is a parking lot. It is a program. It’s staffed 24 hours a day.”

The distinction is an important one, Spoor later tells the Journal, as it differentiates the program from a drop-in, night-by-night shelter and helps explain why it has been so successful, now with a proven track record of serving populations that traditional shelters don’t, getting them housed and winning over skeptics in the process. The distinction also explains the program’s $477,000 annual price tag and why it will come to a close June 17, with Arcata House having been unable to secure funding to continue its operation.

“It’s expensive to run a program with 24-hour staff, to run a program that has case management and housing assistance,” Spoor says, adding that people who enter the safe parking program are also offered three meals a day, and have access to showers and laundry facilities. “We’re not just a shelter. At Arcata House, our principle is we help people prepare for

and obtain permanent housing. That’s who we are.”

Standing in the center of Arcata House Partnership’s safe parking area, an industrial property anchored by a warehouse tucked off Samoa Boulevard on the western edge of the city, Ali Rose and Kate Newby say one of the things that sets the program apart from traditional, brick-and-mortar shelters is that it eliminates barriers for certain populations.

For example, Newby, Arcata House’s director of housing and development, says the program has been successful in bringing in families with school-age children who wouldn’t access a traditional shelter due to fears of separation. Rose, the organization’s interim director of client services, adds that lots of folks have pets they are unwilling to leave behind. Spoor says the program was also able to bring in some people who are reclusive and wouldn’t do well crowded into a typical shelter space, allowing them to “park away from everyone and just have their own space.”

Many of the folks who entered the pro-

gram were already working but couldn’t find affordable housing or were simply spread too thin trying to survive to maintain a housing search. For them, Newby says, the program provided stability, as well as help searching for housing and qualifying for assistance.

“For some populations, this is exactly the program that was right for them,” Spoor says, quickly adding that isn’t the case for everyone.

About 45 percent of the people who entered the program left it to go back to the streets or “a place not meant for human habitation,” like someone’s garage, Spoor says. Some of those left after just a couple days, she adds, saying they quickly realized a program with rules and permanent housing as a goal was not for them.

“Not everyone wants to or can be housed, and we honor that,” she says.

But the majority of people who entered the program — 55 percent — left with shelter of some kind. A few moved into another shelter program, Spoor says, while others were able to reunite with

family, but she says most were able to secure permanent housing.

At the January board of supervisors meeting, Humboldt County Sheri William Honsal said he supported extending the county ordinance with the hope someone else will start a program similar to Arcata House’s, but he stressed his belief that it’s the rules and structure that made it so successful.

“If you’d asked me this question about five years ago, I would have said this is an absolutely terrible idea,” Honsal told the board. “I’ve completely changed my mind when it comes to safe parking because of the example Arcata House has set, as well as other models around the country. … We do support safe parking as long as it’s properly managed. This is not an autonomous zone where people get to go there and do whatever they want.”

Undersheri JD Braud also addressed the board, saying he’s a “big supporter” of the program. The houseless population is diverse, he said, with a complex web of factors that contributed to their homelessness, noting that “everyone’s situation is di erent.” As such, it’s important to provide a spectrum of options.

In a statement emailed to the Journal, DHHS Director Connie Beck said Arcata House’s program has been “helpful in transitioning people who were not quite ready for housing into housing” and she appreciates the county’s partnership with the nonprofit and the city of Arcata.

Arcata Police Chief Bart Silvers says the program has been beneficial from his perspective, giving people a safe place to park and sleep without impacting neighborhoods.

“With the program ending and individuals still in need of permanent housing, we anticipate increased calls for service regarding vehicles parked for extended

periods of time,” he says.

Meanwhile, the county’s ordinance, now extended through January of 2026, allows any government agency, religious institution or nonprofit to open a safe parking program without discretionary review, so long as it meets basic parameters.

“This is basically an over-the-counter review and approval,” Planning Director John Ford said.

But even with the streamlined approval process, not a single organization has applied. In January, Ford told the board he believed that was because many organizations were simply unaware of it. But five months later, the county still has not received an application, despite being home to one of the state’s largest per-capita unsheltered homeless populations.

Spoor says it’s a matter of simply dollars and cents. The county ordinance streamlines the permitting process but organizations are left to cover the costs of providing restrooms, sanitation services, security and supportive programing.

“Thanks for giving us permission to use some property but if there’s no funding for the program, it can’t work,” she says.

“That’s why nobody is doing it.”

It’s also why the Arcata House program is closing in a couple of weeks.

Spoor says she’s tremendously grateful the city of Arcata funded Arcata House’s safe parking program for a year, and then the Humboldt County Department of Health and Human Services stepped in to pay for a second with some one-time Housing and Homeless Assistance Program funds. She says Arcata House stands ready to re-open the program should funding become available, though she understands that’s unlikely with the county and state’s budgets deeply in the red.

currently working to find housing for the 20 people who remain in the program but isn’t sure they’ll be able to, noting there simply aren’t enough rental units out there and stigma is a significant barrier in housing people who have experienced homelessness.

She says a significant part of her job is spent simply trying to recruit landlords.

“I’m happy to talk to landlords. Always,” she says. “I will explain the program and its benefits, and do a song and dance, if I need to.”

Newby says her pitch is pretty straightforward. The voucher programs pay fair market rate, and landlords will have the added benefit of a lot of support. Arcata House sta will be in the rental units to look around at least once a month, and the tenants will have case managers helping them “be good neighbors, good tenants and good members of the community.” Plus, she says, Arcata House acts as a third party landlords can call if anything comes up.

Spoor says stigma is often the single biggest hurdle in getting someone from a program into permanent housing.

“We have dozens of people who are looking for housing right now,” she says. “People with financial support, people who go to work but have been homeless for a year, people who have housing vouchers, people who can pay their own rent. There’s a real stigma about people

who are homeless but many of the people served in this program go to work every day, their kids go to school every day, they volunteer and attend community events and churches. … There are so many people who are homeless who have this stigma they just don’t deserve.”

Spoor says she’s disappointed to see the program come to an end but proud of what it has accomplished, expanding the scope of models that have proven successful locally. She says she’s even proud of what the program a orded the 45 percent of its clients that ultimately chose to leave, noting that every night someone spent there was a night spent safe and fed. She says Arcata House will pursue any funding it can find to restart the program, though she worries the organization will have enough trouble simply holding the line on other services with the state looking to bridge a projected $55 billion budget deficit, warning that “housing and supportive services are being eviscerated.”

“We would absolutely operate this program again,” Spoor says. “But if I had a choice between if I’m going to find funding for our brick-and-mortar shelter or the safe parking program? Most people would rather have a bed.” ●

What’s Good at the Friday Night Market

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

The first Friday Night Market of the season crossed light sabers with the Forest Moon Festival on May 31, packing Old Town’s closed streets with vendors and Vaders, buskers and Wookiees. Favorites returned, like Frybread Love’s Indian tacos, the empanadas from La Colombiana and, yes, that’s the mobile fryer of the Love Mini Donuts stall you smell. Nicaraguan Food’s tamales and pupusas are now served out of a sweet, blue trailer resembling a hybrid old-fashioned lunch pail/ postal box, and the line at the Pineapple Express truck bodes well for its upcoming restaurant at the former Humboldt Soup Co. spot. Among the new and new-ish stalls, a trio slated to be regulars at the market stand out.

Seoul Sizzle

If you are not hosting or invited to a

Korean backyard barbecue this summer, the beef bulgogi lunch plate from Seoul Sizzle ($15) may hold back the despair. (If you are indeed hosting such a cookout, my DMs are wide open.) At the back of the tent, onions and thin sliced, marinated beef sizzle and smoke on a mobile flat-top grill, giving both a light char. The seasoning hits the traditional soy sauce and garlic, but leans more salty than sweet and soulfully satisfying with a heap of steaming short-grained white rice.

Sidebar: I’m not trying to denigrate the potato — eternal respect for her royal subterranean starchiness in all her myriad forms — but nothing takes up and amplifies savory, fatty meat juices from the pan like sticky white rice. (*Raises lighter, bows head.) Here, it expands the deep flavor of the bulgogi

and the sweet onions browned in its fat.

The perfect foil for all this is the quick kimchi cucumber side and the little spring mix salad with miso dressing. The latter might be the palate cleanser you need to prepare for the next stall.

Food with Hoy

Alex Hoy’s shapeshifting street stall and catering venture, having already pressed out some of the best smash burgers in the county, takes its new form under a custom red and black tent with a menu recalling the foods he grew up eating and cooking for family and friends, mainly Chinese and Japanese ingredients paired with Southeast Asian cooking techniques.

This week’s offering of char siu pork — marinated 24 hours, smoked and grilled for a char — is a fine example. The long process makes the most of the pork’s stripes of fat and sweet meat. Served atop a bowl of white rice (see above) with a topping of crunchy fried garlic and bok choy — cooked well but preserving a little snap — it’s at-homey nostalgia with an extra kick ($15).

Lulu’s Kreations

Is it cruel to dangle the char siu when it might not be around next time? Such is the gamble of a constantly changing menu. Keep an eye out for possible dumplings this week, accompanied by a sauce bar from which to sample.

Compared to the rippling banners declaring “Corn!” next door, Lulu’s Kreations is keeping a low profile. Less modest are

the stand’s paper trays of puffy miniature pancakes striped with syrup and covered in an avalanche of whipped cream. The list of syrups and toppings from Oreo cookies to Mazapan offers customization, but the tres leches already set on the menu is a winner ($7 for 10 pancakes). The little pancake coins are fluffy and delicate, obscured by strawberries, tres leches and a cumulus cloud of whipped cream. And suddenly pancakes for dinner or dessert is a walkable streetfood option. A problem solved before you knew you had it. l

Condors Over Arcata

By Sarah Hobart getout@northcoastjournal.com

During most of the sturm und drang of the Cal Poly Humboldt protest, I was across the country, on a pilgrimage of sorts to honor my dad and scatter his ashes at one of his favorite fishing spots. By the time I got home (let’s just forget about my unplanned stay in Newark, New Jersey), all that was left was the sadly predictable denouement of police intervention and arrests. As Dad liked to say, “If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.”

But the day before all that went down something else happened in Arcata — the culmination, 37 years in the making, of a different sort of protest. That day a young birder on the trail of a rare sandpiper looked up and saw three California condors soaring over Arcata.

The news spread like hot fudge sauce over butter pecan ice cream. Within 30 seconds of the phone alert, I was out on my deck scanning the heavens. And there they were, a trio of magnificent condors drifting east on a lazy thermal until they soared right over my head and out of sight. It was breathtaking.

Local birder Bill McIver was at work at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service office on Heindon Road when his phone pinged. “I ran down the hall and told my co-worker about the condors, and we both hustled outside to see three condors circling high overhead,” he said, adding that despite several attempts he hadn’t seen any of the condors reintroduced to the northern reaches of the county in 2022. Other birders who caught a look were able to zoom in and read the big birds’ wing tags; they were Cher-perhl So-nee-ne-pek’ (“I feel strong,” A4), Neee’n (“Watcher,” A5) and He-we-chek’ (“I am healthy or I get well,” A7).

Just over a year ago, a woman wrote to me and asked if I thought condors would ever be seen in the skies over Arcata. Someday, I told her. That day turned out to be April 29, 2024.

But the train of events leading up to it began almost four decades ago. California condors teetered on the brink of extinction for most of the 20th century, their numbers ravaged by the pesticide DDT, lead poisoning from spent ammunition, habitat loss and poaching. Their lackadai-

sical approach to reproduction, typically laying a single egg every other year, made a comeback even more improbable. The largest North American land bird, condors had few natural predators; humans were and are their biggest threat. In 1987 the condor population had dropped to 22 birds in the wild. By virtually every measure, these giants of the sky were gone.

But multiple agencies and individuals came together and fought the inevitable, using the power of the newly minted Endangered Species Act. And so one of the most intensive and astonishing conservation stories of all time was underway.

One of those individuals was ornithologist Jan Hamber, whose commitment to tracking and monitoring the last few wild condors proved instrumental in saving them. Hamber, a pioneer among women in the natural sciences who was once excluded from a field research team because of her sex, dedicated herself to the study of condor nesting habits and was the first to observe that condors could nest in backto-back years, a discovery that proved critical to the successful captive breeding program. Hamber won multiple honors for her work on condor restoration, including the Trailblazing Women in Science Award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Audubon magazine profiled her in 2020 in a story titled, “This Bird Lives Because She Never Quit.” Now in her 90s, she’s still working on behalf of condors as the manager of the Condor Archives at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History. She is a hero.

The mammoth effort to bring prey-goneesh home to Humboldt — through the tireless work of the Yurok Tribe, Redwood National and State Parks and many other partners/donors — was heroic, too.

One might argue that saving California condors is a pretty easy cause to get behind. What’s not to love about these prehistoric-looking birds that are so homely as to be incredibly beautiful? That live in a tight social hierarchy and parent by pinning an unruly chick to the ground with a massive foot? That rip through the tough hides of beached whales and dead elk with ease, filling their crops with up to three pounds of tissue and bone and not eating again for days or weeks? That cool themselves by peeing and pooping on

their legs? Sign me up.

But there are myriad causes in this world and heroism has many faces. Among them are the students, young people and faculty members who took part in what began as a peaceful demonstration intended to focus attention on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. What they did took guts. In the end the heavy-handed response from CPH’s leadership shed light not only on the war in Gaza, but the wars happening every day, right here, on free speech, LGBTQ rights and women’s control over their own bodies.

There are a lot of hammers out there right now. It can be overwhelming; we’ve all felt helpless at times. Sometimes we need to stand up, sit down, march, write to our representatives or write a check. And sometimes we just gotta look up.

A California condor over Arcata.

June on the West Coast

By Collin Yeo music@northcoastjournal.com

What more is there to say? We are now nested in the month so many people love for so many obvious reasons that it seems trivial to list them. On a final climb between now and the solstice to a solar pinnacle that will lead us down the dusty western slope of summer into the mulled days of ripened beauty and noble decay. A time of transient beauty felt all the more strongly by those of us who spent the wet part of the calendar locked into this often hard to handle home.

And also baseball. Get out there.

Thursday

Roselit Bone is back in town. This Portland band is one of the few acts I have had the pleasure of seeing live from the early days of covering this beat and that just gets better every time. For those unfamiliar, imagine an ensemble act with a heavy Western vibe, like a less jittery Wall of Voodoo, but trade the synths in for horns and fiddle. Very strong vocals from an enigmatic singer roll across a desiccated terrain until the music creates the kind of Dust Bowl thunderstorm that makes all the creeks rise and riverbeds flood until the coffins start popping out of the ground at the frontier cemetery. You should go to this show, but if my endorsement doesn’t carry any weight, two great trios, the mighty Strix Vega and Velvet Worms, are providing the local oomph. And if that hasn’t made the case yet for making your first Thursday of June sparkle and flash, the door price at the Siren’s Song Tavern is a mere $5, and this all-ages show is at 8:30 p.m., leaving plenty of time for you to have fun and get home without ruining tomorrow.

Friday

There was a little bit of a mix-up last month regarding Wild Abandon playing a gig at the Logger Bar, so let’s just do a quick window-edit in space-time and insert that show into tonight’s slot at 9 p.m. The forecast now looks like you can

enjoy a lovely summer’s evening in one of our best watering holes with a great local band for gratis.

Saturday

Here’s something a little different for your Saturday, by which I mean during the sunshine hours. The Eureka Theater is the spot for the Climax Music Fest. This new eclectic phenomenon features music by Irie Mae, Icarus and Suns, Samba de Alegria and Mighty Violet, as well as danceable beats on tap poured out by DJ Tone Change. There will also be vendors, food trucks outside, and a fashion show courtesy of Living Doll Vintage. This all-ages event opens its doors at 2 p.m., with a 3 p.m. showtime and tickets going for $25 on site, $20 advance. Check it out.

Sunday

I always forget about Fairy Festival in Arcata, largely because I don’t have any children of my own and I was kicked out of Neverland 35 years ago for making fun of Peter Pan (“Baby Robin Hood” seems tame, but causes no joy in the land found after the second star to the right and straight on til morning). Anyway, it’s happening again on the Plaza today and so, of course, there must be the afterparties. One such event for grown-up pixie dust devotees is a jam band tribute blow-out at Humbrews at 8:30 p.m., where you will find a supergroup called Tore Up!! It’s made up of players from the Magnificent Sanctuary Band, The Velvet Sea and Grate-

ful Getdown. They will be playing the jams of Phish, The Dead, et al, for a mere $10 at the door. I don’t know what the currency exchange is in fairy gold, but you are welcome to find out and report back.

Monday

Quiet tonight out on the stage but that doesn’t have to be the case at home. As part of my ongoing series recommending the tunes of musicians who passed out of this stupid samsara last year, I’m pushing the music of Carla Bley, a bandleader and jazz composer who, for a brief moment in time, sat aflame at the convergence point of emerging and established musical movements to operate the Lathe of Heaven in a mad attempt to create a lodestone of the era, for the future and beyond. What am I talking about? Listen to “Escalator over the Hill,” in which you will hear her shot at finding synthesis between everything from free jazz, rock, Broadway, and Tin Pan Alley pop. The opposite of easy listening.

Tuesday

The Miniplex is playing more movies again, which bodes well for the future, as the joint holds a place filled by nowhere else regarding showcasing enjoyable and offbeat fare. A case in point is tonight’s 7 p.m. presentation of The People’s Joker, an indie comic book movie parody directed and co-written by actress and comedian Vera Drew. After viewing the trailer and reading about the controversy regarding the film’s festival release due to copyright

issues, I’m interested. It appears to be an awakening story that funnels gender dysphoria through the mass-production madhouse of oversaturated superhero culture, with appearances from a few of my favorite comedians, including Maria Bamford, Bob Odenkirk and Tim Heidecker. Just $10 gets you a seat and, assuming it’s Taco Tuesday, tonight’s a great one in the run to check it out.

Wednesday

Iowa is one of our more overlooked states and as someone who has been in nearly all 50, I have a soft spot for this land of corn and Slipknot near the disputed zone of the Midwest. I have seen things there and the place has its own taste, one I prefer over say, Oklahoma, which is the Devil’s domain. Singer-songwriter William Elliott Whitmore grew up on a farm in the southernmost corner of Iowa and his music reflects a series of dispatches from another way of life than is immediately familiar to mainstream, metropolitan America. It’s good, hearty, no depression-style folk and country, written with purpose and played with sincerity. Check him out online, if you can. Fans of American roots music will lock in immediately and know what to do, which is head to Humbrews tonight at 8 p.m. ($18, $15 advance).

Trouble with the Kids

Babes and I Saw the TV Glow

By John J. Bennett screens@northcoastjournal.com

BABES. Despite the inescapable fact that pregnancy, birth and its alternatives have touched literally all of us, the subject has been largely shunted to the margins of contemporary cinema. As recently as the first decade of this strange, lamentable century, a “will they or won’t they” dramedy about a birth control mishap would not be a surprising option at the multiplex on a Friday night. It likely speaks to the sickening tilting of our cultural axis, of the rise of fascist fetishization, the renewed marginalization of women and the never-more hateful rhetoric around abortion that funnily poignant movies about accidental pregnancy and the prospect of single-parenthood have all but vanished from the mainstream. As ever, art reflects life, but it is also an important informer of our cultural conversations. And trepidation about “challenging” subject matter — or subject matter that has been thrust to the center of politics and rendered, despite its universality, the basis of senseless violence and ever-widening social fractures — on the part of the gatekeepers is a bad omen, indeed.

Which is a gloomy way to begin discussion of a funny movie about the vagaries of having a baby as an adult human in the modern world; we find ourselves where we find ourselves.

Written by Ilana Glazer and Josh Rabinowitz, and directed by Pamela Adlon, Babes drops into the middle of the decades-spanning friendship of Eden (Glazer), a yoga instructor and definitive denizen of Astoria, and Dawn (Michelle Buteau), her high-achieving married best friend. Dawn and husband Marty (Hasan Minhaj), climbing the ladder of New York City success and expecting their second child, have moved into a brownstone in the city, further exaggerating the metaphorical distance between the two former constant companions.

But Eden and Dawn have put in the work, maintaining routines in spite of the challenges of real life in order to fan the flames of their friendship. So, when a newly postpartum Dawn feels a powerful lust for sushi, Eden sets out to find it. And find it she does, albeit with a

shocking, Manhattan price tag. Her return trip to the hospital is complicated by the holiday subway schedule, though, and so she finds herself enjoying an extravagant Japanese feast on her multiple-train ride back to Queens. At which point she meets a handsome, charming fellow inexplicably dressed in a dashing vintage tuxedo. Claude (Stephan James) is himself returning home from a day’s work as an extra on a Scorsese picture (weirdly specific but funny enough). They share the sushi and a wide-ranging conversation across their numerous train transfers, eventually spending the night together. Dawn, relentless free spirit that she is, disbelieves that she could possibly have contracted pregnancy from the encounter but is also resilient enough to shake it off when Claude fails to contact her or respond to her texts. (The “twist” regarding his absence is both realistically abrupt but also underplayed.)

And so Eden finds herself debating motherhood as her best-friendship appears to falter in the presence of real-world, grown-up complications.

Ultimately, I may admire Babes more than I actually like it. Pitched as a lateterm Knocked Up with the deadbeat elided, its de-politicization of the subject matter in favor of emphasis on the relationships at the center of the story feels natural and topical in its casual insistence. And Glazer and Buteau, two definitively hilarious ladies unafraid of wading into the more anatomical aspects of pregnancy and modern friendship, are almost ideally paired as leads. And Adlon, herself a pitch-perfect comic actor making her feature debut, evinces a calm confidence behind the camera, directing with a veteran’s self-assuredness.

The movie sets out to demystify some timeless but also modern notions of adulthood and relationships, a formidable challenge to which it mostly rises. But in the tone of the piece, with its occasional hilarity set against the matter-of-factness with which it constructs the stuff of the characters’ lives, there is a tonal dissonance that, while not unpleasant or jarring, seems to work against the intention of its authors. R. 109M. MINOR.

I SAW THE TV GLOW. I cannot claim to have “a show” that has defined or defended or reflected my own life. That said, I have seen every episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer at least three times and in sequence. (I see you, Amber Benson.) So I get at least one element of what Jane Schoenbrun (We’re All Going to the World’s Fair, 2021) has set out to create here. Outsiders Owen (played in adolescence by Ian Foreman and young adulthood by Justice Smith) and Maddy (Brigette Lundy-Paine) develop a tenuous friendship based on a supernatural mystery series. Though bonded by a fondness for each other and a fascination with the TV show, the two are gradually separated by circumstances both physically immediate and metatextual.

A study in loneliness that blurs the distinction between life as lived and as observed through media, I Saw the TV Glow goes to ambitious, mostly successful lengths to visually construct the reality of a troubled person’s inner life. It has in it some near-perfect images and truly unique styles of performance. Still, it resonated with me less than I invited it to. PG13. 100M. MINOR. l

The Myth of the Lone Genius

By Barry Evans fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com

“Last night.”

— Fictional lone genius Tony Stark answering when he became an expert in thermonuclear astrophysics

If you believe everything you see on the silver screen, you know all about lone geniuses. Think Tony Stark, Doc Brown (Back to the Future) and Zefram Cochrane (Star Trek’s warp drive inventor). No harm done there but problems arise when real-life characters are burdened with the same “lone genius” tag beloved of screenwriters. Three that come to mind are John Nash (A Beautiful Mind), Alan Turing (The Imitation Game) and Nikola Tesla (Tesla). Truth is, these so-called lone geniuses collaborated with colleagues and benefited from previous work. Same, for instance, with Albert Einstein, Galileo Galilei and Alfred Wegener.

I mention Wegener because twice in the last week, his name came up to justify some maverick scientist’s wacky theory: the debunked idea that vaccines cause autism, that a freak asteroid proves the existence of intelligent alien life, that Noah’s flood really happened. It goes like this: “100 years ago, German meteorologist Alfred Wegener, working alone, was scorned by other scientists, when, having noticed that the coastlines of Africa and South America match, proposed that the two continents had once been joined and were now drifting apart (“continental drift”). Decades later, other scientists saw the error of their ways and embraced his theory. Thus proving that a maverick lone genius is often right and mainstream science wrong.”

While it’s true that some scientists — mostly “hard rock” geologists, who probably didn’t appreciate being upstaged by a mere meteorologist — discounted continental drift, many others took his ideas seriously enough to convene conferences on both sides of the Atlantic to consider it. Wegener’s 1915 book The Origin of Continents and Oceans went through five printings — hardly a sign of indifference. Meanwhile, two of the preeminent geologists of the day, Émile Argand in Switzerland and Arthur Holmes in England, embraced Wegener’s theory despite many problems with it.

Before and after: Antonio Sinder-Pellegrini’s “opening of the Atlantic,” 1858. Public domain

First, though, Wegener was hardly the first to wonder about the matching coastlines of South America and Africa, starting with Abraham Ortelius in 1596. Later, Antonio Snider-Pelligrini mapped the spread of the Atlantic in 1858. (See illustration.) So Wegener was building on a long tradition. Even his claim that all the continents had once been joined together in one great landmass, “Pangea,” wasn’t original: That had been proposed in 1889 by Roberto Mantovani. Second, he was hardly a loner, since most of his life was spent working with university colleagues.

The main problem with continental drift was that Wegener was unable to come up with a convincing mechanism to explain it. Additionally, he overestimated by two orders of magnitude how fast the Atlantic Ocean is spreading (8 feet vs. 1 inch per year), and he proposed much else that conflicted with known data at the time. It took until the 1960s (long after Wegener’s death, in 1930) for the theory of plate tectonics to be universally accepted. Although at first blush, this looks like Wegener’s continental drift, it really isn’t. Plate tectonics is a new paradigm. In a nutshell: Earth’s rigid outer shell consists of about seven major (and many minor) “plates” which float on the plastic mantle beneath. At the boundaries, the plates may be moving apart (like seafloor spreading along the mid-Atlantic ridge) or converging (like the Pacific plate plunging beneath the North American plate off our shore) or they may slide past each other (like the San Andreas fault).

None of this was understood by Wegener and his contemporaries, since they lacked the data provided much later by deep-sea cores and the magnetic “striping” thus found (that’s for another column), but the bottom line is, he was no lone genius. Like nearly all advances in science, it took decades of collaborative work to turn Wegener’s questionable idea of continental drift into the well-grounded theory of plate tectonics.

I, Amy Christensen, Humboldt County Tax Collector, State of California, certify as follows:

That at close of business on June 30, 2024, by operation of law, any real property (unless previously taxdefaulted and not redeemed) that have any delinquent taxes, assessments, or other charges levied for the fiscal year 2023-24, and/or any delinquent supplemental taxes levied prior to the fiscal year 2023-24 shall be declared tax-defaulted.

That unless the tax defaulted property is completely redeemed through payment of all unpaid amounts, together with penalties and fees prescribed by law or an installment plan is initiated and maintained; the property may be sold subsequently at a tax sale to satisfy the tax lien.

That a detailed list of all properties remaining tax-defaulted at the close of business on June 30, 2024, and not redeemed prior to being submitted for publication, shall be published on or before September 8, 2024.

That information concerning redemption or the initiation of an installment plan of redemption of taxdefaulted property will be furnished, upon request, by Amy Christensen, 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.

Executed at Eureka, Humboldt County, California, on May 22nd, 2024. Published in the North Coast Journal on June 6th, 13th & 20th, 2024.

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 lowincome 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, 2024, 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 Amy Christensen, Humboldt County Tax Collector, 825 5th Street, Room 125, Eureka, CA 95501, (707)476-2450.

Sandra Fredrickson died on Friday, May 24, 2024. She was born in 1939 in Duluth, Minnesota to John and Ruth Fredrickson, and was the middle child of three, between Paul and younger sister, Tracey.

Sandra was an active nurse for 40 years, the last 20 spent as a nurse educator in San Francisco.

She began her retirement in Humboldt County in 1999, finding peace in the remote area of Westhaven. Sandra enjoyed volunteer work, especially at the Humboldt County Animal Control Shelter where she helped socialize kittens and cats. She was a pie maker for the Westhaven Blackberry Festival, made home deliveries for Food for People, helped Barbara Snell and Lena Macy with blood drives in Trinidad, and was an ombudsman for the Mad River Adult Day Care.

A faithful member of Trinidad Women in Black, Sandra stood for peace every Friday for more than eight years.

Sandra claimed her greatest adventure in life was taking a year off from nursing to sail the South Pacific (with her life partner, John) in a 32-foot sailing vessel. She is survived by her partner, John Hepplewhite; sister, Tracey Mueller; nieces and nephews, Jan, Krisa, Kirk, and Jenny. She was preceded in death by her brother, Paul Fredrickson.

Please send any memorials/donations to a charity of your choice.

A private gathering in Trinidad is being planned for a later date.

Sandra’s family thanks Hospice of Humboldt and Fresenius Kidney Care in McKinleyville for their compassionate care.
