‘Tarnished’ How an off-duty incident cost an EPD officer his badge

BY THADEUS GREENSON

Community Spotlight:

Found in the Woods Local author Glory Ralston’s third novel, Found in the Woods, takes the reader on a journey deep into the core of timber company lands in far Northern California. Throughout the story we follow Susan Campton as she strives to gain a wild bear’s trust and to capture his image on film. Told with the same clarity and understanding of our area that made Ralston’s other novels so memorable, Found in the Woods is a gentle reminder that the earth does not belong only to its human inhabitants.

Ralston has been writing for as long as she can remember, penning her first story, a photo biography of her pet turtle, Oscar, when she was just seven years old.

She said that writing is a passion and a job for her. When asked about her choice of Humboldt County for the backdrop of her novels, she said, “This is my home. I’ve lived here my entire adult life. Humboldt County is the area I know and care about.

For me, there are no better stories to tell than the stories of this area and the people who live here.”

Found in the Woods is available at Murphy’s Market in Trinidad and Sunny Brae, Blake’s Books in McKinleyville, Northtown Books in Arcata, Salmon River Outpost in Solmes Bar, and Chapman’s Bookery in Ferndale.

It is also available through Amazon.com in paperback and eBook.

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Jan. 23, 2020 • northcoastjournal.com

Editor: I have noted several letters proposing voluntarily limiting speed to 55 MPH on roads like U.S. Highway 101 to lower emissions and gasoline usage (Mailbox, Dec. 26, 2019). This idea has some merit, as I most often drive below the speed limit despite my auto being easily capable of exceeding the limit all day.

May I suggest that drivers that choose to drive significantly slower than the speed limit stay in the right (slow) lane. Not everyone will be on board with the idea, and I can see a monster truck running over the top of, or forcing slower drivers playing CHP into the weeds.

Were that to become a tragic occurrence, I can envision an appropriate memorial for the fast lane turtle. Perhaps a site in a centrally located square in Arcata. The mounted twisted wreckage of the Prius with a plaque and inscription: “In memoriam to so and so. Progressive to the end, martyred by Dodge Ram.” John Dillon, Eureka Editor: I wish to include my own two cents: I am 66 and I ride my bike as much as I can; if we can drive 55, why can’t we all start riding our bikes? You never forget how!

And it really saves on gas, with doing a lot for keeping you healthy and fit!

Pat Kanzler, Eureka Editor: Mitch Trachtenburg’s letter suggested that driving 55 would reduce GHG emissions to combat climate change. While that’s a good suggestion, the really important part of his letter is the last line, “… why bother pretending we want to address the problem?” Because the honest truth is that

we don’t begin to want to inconvenience ourselves to address the climate problem.

Every couple of months, a new study shows the climate disruptions and their serious, ecosystem level negative effects are happening much faster and more severely than projected. To make real planetary differences in this dire situation will take extraordinary sacrifices from everyone, everywhere on the planet, from all social and economic classes, and from all cultures, no matter how long or short their histories are.

In Humboldt, after Terra-Gen, we know that it is more important to preserve pretty views, prevent construction dust, avoid disturbing a few hundred acres of long ago logged private ranch land, concede to one particular group’s religious beliefs and prevent a limited number of creatures from dying than to take serious and difficult actions to try ameliorate the climate catastrophe or leave a habitable world for our grandchildren’s children. Or even just make our own corner of the world more self-reliant and resilient in the coming turmoil. And all this refusal to act in the name of environmentalism and social justice.

We don’t need to be doing something, we need to be doing everything – conservation AND solar AND onshore and offshore wind AND hundreds of other hard things.

But we really only want solutions that are convenient, simple and don’t offend our sensibilities, like driving 55.

Indeed, why bother pretending we’ll do whatever it takes to “address the problem?”

‘A Portrait of Aggravated Devotion’ Editor: Thanks are due to both Dr. Kim Ervin

Hybernacula Seventy degrees below zero, the woolly bear caterpillar rolls into a ball, and survives an Arctic winter.

For years, in rain, hail and lightning storms,

a woman hunches deep in her camo cocoon

on a bench in downtown Eureka.

The empty bench on the corner

startles the hearts of those who cared.

What happened to their butterfly?

— Jenny Lovewell

and the North Coast Journal for telling this story (“The Whistleblower,” Jan. 16). As is expected in such situations, the executives of Mad River Hospital have responded to real concerns with personal attacks on the integrity of the messenger, rather than addressing the actual points raised. Such are the effects of light shone in dark corners. For shame. They have now attempted their petty, local exile of a highly experienced physician.

Fortunately, this article is very instructive: Dr. Ervin’s is a portrait of aggravated devotion and courage throughout her professional life, a doctor whose current callous mistreatment shines a light on issues of the state of family and women’s healthcare in Humboldt County.

(We have here a hospital that sees little need for community doctors or continuity of care and whose executive staffing is a bit shady, it seems.)

In her interview, Dr. Ervin teaches a bit about the nuts and bolts of healthcare services and technology, the importance of electronic records and ethical commitment. She has shown how administrative whim and expediency trump the availability of real medical services so badly needed in our county. Perhaps most importantly, this article illustrates clearly why we have retained so few healthcare professionals where and when we need them.

Medical policy and services should be in the hands of the providers, not run by bureaucrats firing doctors and then offering poor explanations for their skewed priorities.

Dr. Ervin, your community wishes you the best.

Stephen Infantino, Arcata Editor: I just read the article about what happened to Dr. Ervin at Mad River Hospital and I am appalled at what has been going on over there. It especially bothers me that she was blocked from informing her patients about this transition and that the hospital did nothing to let patients know what to do about renewing prescriptions or getting further care for ongoing issues.

I understand that she still has hospital privileges because she has done nothing unethical but is blocked from using the computer. This is ridiculous. In essence, this keeps her from being able to get records or write notes, doesn’t it? This doesn’t take into consideration her clients right now who will need babies delivered or have operations scheduled.

I am a long-term patient of Dr. Ervin’s (for at least 19 years) and just found out

about this issue yesterday. Dr. Ervin is an ethical person and one of the best doctors I have ever had. When I had cancer, she advocated for me to get timely testing that shortened the wait time for lab results by at least a month. She is consistent in her demeanor and care and treats her patients with respect.

There has to be something very wrong with Mad River Hospital to lose such a high quality physician like Dr. Ervin from their physician roster. Why keep someone with serious disciplinary problems and get rid of someone with high ethical standards? She has done so much for women’s healthcare for our community and in a shrinking physician population, this was a serious judgment mistake from administration.

No One to Blame but Ourselves Editor: Ms. Savage is right! (“A Reasonable Ask,” Jan. 16.) It’s those evil Republicans that are to blame. If it wasn’t for those people, we’d be living in a land flowing with milk and honey.

But wait! Shouldn’t we be already doing that? We’re living in California, where those evil Republicans have trouble getting elected to dog catcher. So we should be living like an illustration from a Jehovah’s Witness leaflet.

The fault lies not in our stars, dear Brutus, but in ourselves.

Richard C. Brown, Eureka Editor: To respond to Jennifer Savage’s question “Why can’t we have affordable healthcare, America? (“A Reasonable Ask”, Jan. 16). Obviously, we could have affordable healthcare in America. Most of the industrialized world has managed to pull this off, but they don’t have a medical industrial complex like we do. Just like the military

industrial complex that wants endless war, the medical industrial complex wants endless sickness, simply because that’s where the money is. What we have is a medical system governed by marketing in the pursuit of profit. Expensive diagnostics and treatments are aggressively promoted when less expensive but just as effective therapies are often ignored. There is also a complete lack of transparency in the industry. Doctors and patients are purposely kept in the dark about prices and less expensive more effective treatments.

This amounts to corruption of the scientific process. For example, if a brand name drug study is conducted that shows a positive result there is a more than 90 percent chance that the study will be published in a peer reviewed journal. A negative brand name drug study, on the other hand, only has about a 10 percent chance of being published. These published studies are the backbone of modern medicine and are often quoted.

We can have affordable healthcare in America, but we first have to dismantle the medical industrial complex, show it for what it is and more importantly make exploitation of the sick a criminal offense.

You exploit the sick, you go to jail. The announcement that the State of California is going to set up its own generic drug brand to lower drug prices is welcoming news (NCJ Daily, Jan. 16). Let’s watch and see how the medical industrial complex tries to destroy it.

Grave Concerns

Facing backlash, Trinidad gives back $700K trail grant

By Elaine Weinreb

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Jan. 23, 2020 • northcoastjournal.com

he city of Trinidad is returning a $714,000 Caltrans grant after a contentious council meeting in which residents raised concerns that the trail renovation project it would fund might disturb a Native burial site.

“What is the cost of integrity and honor?” one of 20 or so public speakers at the Jan. 14 meeting said. “That is what is at stake here. The people affected have a right to say no. And we’re saying, ‘No.’” Getting to the beach in Trinidad is not easy if you are a pedestrian or bicyclist.

Edwards Street, a steep two-lane road with no sidewalk, is the only street accessing Trinidad State Beach, Trinidad Head, a restaurant, a commercial fishing pier, a boat launch and two other little beaches.

The street’s visibility is poor, blocked by a sharp turn about two-thirds of the way down the hill. Large trucks that serve the local fishing industry traverse the street, as do smaller trucks hauling boats.

For decades, local pedestrians have used a small gravel trail to bypass Edwards. Known as the Van Wycke Trail, it skirts the steep bluff overlooking Trinidad Bay and is approximately 3-feet wide and also covers utility ducts, water pipelines and a storm drain. Most of the trail — which is accessed on each side by dead-end roads in residential areas — is on city-owned land.

The bluffs beneath the trail are under assault by the ocean waves and, as a result, the trail is geologically unstable.

At present, it is difficult to pass due to a slide.

Several years ago, after a woman slipped on the gravel and injured herself, the city closed off the trail. However, many people ignore the “Closed” signs, preferring to take their chances on the trail than to walk Edwards Street. Besides pedestrians, the utility conduits and pipelines are also at risk and if the storm drain breaks because the trail continues to slide, water would drain across the open hillside, creating even worse erosion problems.

At one point, Steve Madrone, long be-

fore his election to the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors, was contracted by the city to build a wooden retaining wall along the bluffs and adjacent to the trail.

Eventually that gave way, though, and the city began looking for more permanent solutions. That meant seeking grants. In 2016, Caltrans awarded the city a $714,000 grant that, in addition to stabilizing the trail, would add an 8-foot-wide paved bicycle lane, concrete sidewalks and curbs, “detectable warning surfaces” and split rail fencing, as well as a crosswalk, striping and directional and interpretive signs on the adjacent roads.

To hold the trail in place, project planners proposed building a retaining wall on its ocean side. The wall would be anchored by pilings hammered 19 feet into bedrock.

Many Trinidad residents, as well as the California Coastal Commission, have questioned how a simple trail repair evolved into a major street re-building project, which some feel would change the appearance of the village for the worse.

But the greater issue that emerged is the possible presence of human remains on the project site, which could be disturbed by the renovation.

The issue is literally centuries old. The Tsurai people, who are culturally related to the Yurok Tribe, lived in the area that is now called Trinidad for centuries. They were evicted by white settlers but one particular family, the Lindgrens, made a point of trying to protect the graves of ancestors buried nearby from grave robbers and looters. After years of negotiations, a settlement was finally reached in 2005 that protected 10-acre plot of ancestral land, called the Tsurai Management Area, on a former Tsurai village site, near what is now called Old Home Beach.

A trail to the low-lying forested area was built down from the bluff on Edwards Street and a few benches were installed.

The area was supposed to be managed and improved by a consortium of government agencies and tribal groups, including the Lindgren family, which had created a nonprofit organization called the Tsu-

rai Ancestral Society. But things never seemed to move forward and, eventually, the issue ended up in court. Anger again flared nine years ago when a neighboring homeowner illicitly cut trees in the management zone, allegedly to improve their ocean view.

Another flare-up happened last year, when the iconic replica of the Trinidad lighthouse needed to be moved because it was in danger of sliding down the bluff. Many Native residents worried that stabilizing the bluff could endanger the management area and its grave sites below. Days of protests and picketing followed until the lighthouse was eventually transported to an inconspicuous location near the beach.

Now the Tsurai people fear boring deep holes into the earth will disturb other unknown burial sites that may exist outside of the Tsurai Management Area, especially along Edwards Street, which is directly above the old village site.

This concern should not have been news to the Trinidad city government.

The project’s Mitigated Negative Declaration, an environmental document required by state law, states quite clearly that the potential exists to find cultural artifacts and even human remains on the project site. Nonetheless, the town planner stated that, with mitigations, this was unlikely to happen.

But the Tsurai Ancestral Society and the Yurok Tribe were not buying this.

After sending a detailed letter to the city objecting to the project, about 20 Native people and their allies showed up at the Jan. 14 Trinidad City Council meeting to demand that the project be halted.

First to speak was tribal elder Axel Lindgren III. The audience, council and staff watched in absolute silence as Lindgren, supported by a walker and a family member, slowly and precariously moved to the podium. He then spent 10 minutes berating the council for not having lived up to its previous promises to protect grave sites, improve the trail to the old village site and remove cell towers from Trinidad Head, which he said had been a sacred spot “since the beginning of time.”

Other speakers, including some from the local branch of the NAACP, continued expressing their anger about what they considered the city’s malfeasance, although some non-locals seemed a bit confused about the distinction between Yurok, Tsurai and Wiyot people, with one woman comparing the current city council to the white settlers who had conducted the infamous massacre on Tuluwat Island.

An ancestral society member reminded the council that the city is currently

suing the group over issues related to the management area.

After addressing other city business, including a presentation on climate change by students from the Northcoast Preparatory Academy, the council returned to the Van Wycke Trail issue. More members of the audience criticized the city, saying the concerns of Native people had not been adequately addressed.

Audience members also accused the city of violating the Ralph M. Brown Act — California’s open meeting laws — and failing to hold state-mandated government-to-government meetings, allegations that city staff denied.

Tsurai Ancestral Society Secretary Sarah Lindgren said the city had been changing the maps and parameters of the project for years and it was difficult to know just what was being proposed.

She said the Van Wycke Trail closure had already been promised in an agreement dating back to 2000, when other improvements were made to Edwards Street. City staff, however, said they had no records or memory of such an agreement.

Madrone, speaking from the audience, said the project could endanger ancient graves and that no drilling should occur on the bluff. He noted the ocean was going to continue to threaten the bluff whether a retaining wall was built or not, and urged staff to meet with the tribes to come up with a better project.

By this point, the council was clearly convinced it had a problem but there was the question of whether the $714,000 Caltrans grant would have to be returned.

After further discussion, the council passed a vaguely worded motion that abandoned all work on the Van Wycke Trail project, which means the $714,000 grant can not be claimed and leaves the city to pay for thousands of dollars of preliminary project studies and environmental analysis already conducted.

The sole dissenter in the vote was Councilmember Dwight Miller, who wanted more time to study the issues.

Despite the vote, council members indicated they still hope the city can work with Caltrans to find an alternative use for the money, perhaps by finding a different means for pedestrians to access the beach and re-locating the buried utility lines.

Safety Corridor Sees First Fatal Crash in Years as Project Gears Up

E

ven on an already notorious section of road, the Indianola Cutoff on U.S. Highway 101 stands out as a dangerous crossing point, with a collision rate 200 percent higher than the state average.

Anyone who has lived in Humboldt County long enough likely knows the story of the safety corridor, with the short version being that a succession of horrific accidents led to the special designation in 2002.

In the five years prior, there had been 85 accidents along the 5-mile stretch between Eureka and Arcata, including five fatal crashes, with the vast majority — 83 percent — occurring at one of roadway’s intersection, according to a Caltrans report.

Interim measures to reduce the collision rate were implemented — including a headlights-on requirement and lowering the speed limit from 60 mph to the current 50 mph.

Still, accidents continue to occur on the short span, the most heavily traveled of any highway in Caltrans District 1, which includes the counties of Del Norte, Lake and Mendocino.

On Jan. 14, William Clymer was killed while attempting to turn onto the Indianola Cutoff from the southbound lanes of U.S. Highway 101. His GMC Jimmy was hit on the passenger side by a vehicle traveling northbound and overturned. He was 42.

According to CHP Officer Paul Craft, Clymer’s death marks the first fatal car crash along the stretch in at least five years, although there have been countless accidents and close calls.

A month earlier, another car overturned at the same intersection, sending at least one person to the hospital.

In an email, Craft notes that the high traffic volume — especially during the morning and evening commutes — means it “can be difficult, during those times, to safely enter and cross traffic.

“Use caution and be patient when turning on the highway from any side road and observe the 50 mph speed limit to reduce your chances of being involved in a collision,” he continued.

The safety corridor measures, however, were always meant to be short-term, with a report on the roadway’s improvement project noting that the seven crossing points need to be addressed.

“Although the cross traffic volumes at access location (intersections) are less than 5 percent of the corridor traffic volumes, 46 percent of total collisions, 54 percent of injury collisions and 83 percent of fatal collisions occurred at intersections and ramps,” the 2017 Caltrans report states.

“Intersections represent a serious safety concern.”

After nearly two decades of planning, construction is slated to begin this year, with Caltrans receiving the go-ahead from a panel of somewhat dubious California

Coastal commissioners, who made clear they believed the agency’s plans are blind to the looming threat of sea level rise, which could render the improvements moot.

“This is ground zero,” commission Chair Dayna Bochco said during the Aug. 7 meeting in Eureka. “We don’t have a lot of time right here. The traffic is a terrible problem. The water is going to be a worse one.”

The modified version of the project that received the commission’s OK includes requirements that Caltrans report high water levels on an annual basis and dikes or armoring are not to be used as a primary defense against sea level rise.

Caltrans expects to keep the freeway open during construction, which is slated for completion in 2026, except for two brief night-time closures, when southbound traffic will be re-routed on Samoa Boulevard.

According to Caltrans spokesperson Myles Cochrane, the improvements are split into five separate projects that include “an undercrossing at Indianola Cutoff, a half-signal at Airport Road, ac-

celeration and deceleration lane improvements, cable median barrier installation, bridge and rail replacements, and tide gate replacements.”

He said via email that contracts for the acceleration and deceleration lane improvements, the cable median barrier project and the Jacoby Creek and Gannon Slough bridges project have been awarded, with work set to start in late spring or early summer.

The replacement of tide gates to protect the roadway is currently in the final design phase, but the goal is to begin construction late in the summer, according to Cochrane.

The biggest changes, including an undercrossing at the Indianola Cutoff, the half-signal and closing off the crossing points — is still another year out, he said.

No Report: As organizers planned another vigil commemorating the 33-month anniversary of David Josiah Lawson’s unsolved stabbing death, an anticipated report detailing the city’s emergency response to his killing remained outstanding. In September of 2018, the city of Arcata agreed to pay the National Police Foundation $30,000 to critique the police department’s handling of the situation but the report has yet to be produced, according to City Manager Karen Diemer, who says there’s still no “firm timeline” for when the report will reach her desk.

WEEK IN WEED

Davos Won’t Save Us

By Thadeus Greenson

he global elite jumped on their Gulfstreams this week to descend on Davos, a small town of about 11,000 residents in the Swiss Alps, for the 50th annual World Economic Forum, a chance for the globe’s richest people to rub shoulders and talk policy and investment with world leaders.

And for the second year in a row, the cannabis industry will have a seat at the table. One hundred of them, actually, in the Cannabis House, an exclusive industry-specific sidebar conference held in a swanky restaurant that’s accessible only by cable car. According to the sponsors, this year’s event aims to highlight “the economic role of cannabis in the future of healthcare, international trade, investment and environmental and resource security, with the goal of creating a fair and viable cannabis-related industry globally.”

And this folds into the framework of Davos 2020, which will roll out under an espoused theme of using “stakeholder capitalism” to usher in a “new era of sustainability” aimed at reversing the global climate crisis.

Perhaps underscoring the ridiculousness of the top 1 percent of the top 1 percent convening to talk sustainability, President Donald Trump offered one of the event’s opening keynote addresses and used it to warn against “prophets of doom,” by which he meant virtually all of the world’s reputable scientists who believe the climate crisis is, in fact, real. “Fear and doubt is not a good thought process,” Trump warned before boasting about the U.S. being one of the world’s largest producers of natural gas.

So, yeah. It’s against this backdrop that the Cannabis House event will ostensibly focus on how climate change has “opened people’s eyes to hemp as a sustainable plant with innumerable uses for construction, industry and medicine,” Saul Kaye, founder of CannaTech, which is sponsoring the event, said in a press release.

While we suppose it’s possible leaders will emerge from the cable car leading back from Cannabis House with revolutionary plans for hemp-seed powered cars, biodegradable hemp plastics and some kind of giant reverse bong that will suck CO2 from the atmosphere, it seems far more likely they’ll hop back on their

private planes having plotted ways to get even richer.

In other news, medical researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital threw up a red flag for the estimated 2 million Americans with serious heart disease who use cannabis in a review published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

The researchers raised a host of concerns about both unknown effects of cannabis on the body and its interactions with other medications, noting that cannabis can effect how the body metabolizes drugs like statins, used to control cholesterol, and blood thinners. The biggest takeaway, according to cardiologist Muthiah Vaduganathan, who helped author the study, is that patients need to talk about cannabis use with their medical providers.

Meanwhile, Congress took another baby step toward sanity this week as the Health Subcommittee of the U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce held a three-and-a-half-hour hearing on cannabis. Specifically, according to CNN Business, lawmakers “took a crack at cannabis’ chicken-and-egg problem: Cannabis remains a Schedule 1 substance — the most restrictive class and identified as having no medical use — because of a lack of comprehensive research. Research, however, is hindered because of the Schedule 1 classification.” [Those paying attention may recall we wrote about this last week (“The Need to Study Weed”) after National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins lamented how little has been scientifically proven about the benefits and risks of cannabis due to federal prohibition.]

After the hearing, at which no policy decisions were made, Rep. Greg Walden (R-Oregon), provided the type of insight that proves he’s entirely deserving of his $174,000 annual salary when he told CNN Business, “The states are way ahead of where we are federally.”

Now, if only someone had the power to do something about that. l Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor and prefers he/him pronouns.

gation and Stelzig’s firing were recently released by the city in response to a Journal public records request made under Senate Bill 1421, a landmark state law that opened large swaths of police officer personnel files to public scrutiny for the first time.

Specifically, the bill changed state laws — which for decades had been some of the most protective in the nation of police officer personnel records — by requiring that departments disclose records related to investigations of officer-involved shootings and instances of serious uses of force, as well as any sustained findings of dishonesty and sexual assault.

Cumulatively, the newly released records give the public its first real insight into how specific departments have dealt with allegations of misconduct, especially those that never spilled into public view.

“The public’s trust is so absolutely vital to us,” explained current EPD Chief Steve Watson. “A lot of people don’t realize this or assume the opposite, but we don’t circle the wagons and ignore serious misconduct. It’s quite the opposite. When someone tarnishes the badge, it angers all of us because we work so hard to honor that badge and have that badge reflect honor, integrity and service.”

And while it can add another level of pain or discomfort when these kinds of cases are made public under S.B. 1421, Watson said he doesn’t have a problem with airing them for all to see because, ultimately, he believes it should validate community trust in his department.

“On the one hand, it’s embarrassing to have to air those moments when somebody failed to live up to our standards either on the job or off duty because we try so hard to build and protect the community’s trust and the vast majority of our officers are honorable people, people with great integrity who take pride in their jobs and understand the special

McCrea Subaru relationship we have with the community,” he said. “At the same time, the other side of it is that it is an opportunity for people to understand that we do hold ourselves accountable.”

Stelzig’s case specifically also highlights the power dynamic often present in sexual assault cases: the notion that police officers are never fully off duty and the social complexities that can prevent bystanders from intervening when they see an interaction unfolding that seems to carry the potential for harm.

At first blush, it may be hard for some to square the notion that Stelzig was fired for things he did while off the job. But Watson said that’s shortsighted.

“When you’re a police officer, your off-duty conduct matters,” he said, adding that it can not only reflect poorly on the department but it can also harm an officer’s credibility on the job. “Our oath covers both on and off-duty conduct.”

And in cases of a sexual assault, there’s a unique power dynamic at play when the perpetrator is an officer, whether or not they are in uniform. North Coast Rape Crisis Team Community Outreach Coordinator Paula Arrowsmith-Jones, speaking generally and not about Stelzig’s case, said it’s incredibly important that police officers be held to a high standard even when off duty, specifically because of this power dynamic.

“With power comes responsibility and officers have a special relationship to the rest of us in the community because of the authority they hold,” she said.

“The same kind of dynamic is there with employer-employee, teacher-student, etcetera, but an officer has the power to hold over someone things like arrest or the use of physical force, taking away a person’s civil rights, just by virtue of the position they hold.”

In Stelzig’s case, this was not lost on

one of the women who told investigators his actions that night left her feeling “violated.”

“I mean, he has a position of authority … and, you know, obviously knows the boundaries,” she told investigators. “I mean, you would think he would know.”

After Stelzig’s fellow officer came forward early that morning in September, EPD investigators brought both women in for interviews.

According to transcripts of the interviews, which were partly redacted to protect both their privacy and Stelzig’s rights as they pertained to allegations of misconduct that fell outside the scope of S.B. 1421, both women alleged that Stelzig was visibly drunk on the night in question.

One of the women told investigators that Stelzig kissed her on the neck and brushed his hand against her breast while greeting her that night, and then repeatedly touched her inappropriately.

Multiple times while walking behind her he touched her buttocks, she alleged, once moving his hand to her inner thigh.

On several other occasions, she said, she was holding a young child when Stelzig approached, interacted briefly with the child and then let his hand wander to her breasts.

“His hands were all over me — all over me,” she told investigators.

The other woman told investigators that Stelzig was constantly hugging or or putting an arm around her, and that she repeatedly felt the need to squirm away from him to avoid his touching her buttocks or breasts, according to the transcript. She said the interactions left her feeling violated.

“I don’t let generally anybody get that close to me,” she told investigators. “It crossed the line for me. I was uncomfortable.”

Both women said another woman present at the gathering noticed at least some of the interactions and told Stelzig — on several occasions — something along the lines of, “You’re scaring her, you creeper,” and told him to get away.

When he was interviewed as part of the internal investigation, Stelzig denied doing anything inappropriate but conceded he can be physically affectionate and likes to give hugs, especially after drinking.

He also denied being overly intoxicated the night in question.

But Stelzig’s fellow officer told investigators during an official interview after making his initial report that Stelzig was “good and liquored up” that night.

The officer said he witnessed Stelzig’s interactions with the woman who said his repeated attempts to hug her and put an arm around her made her uncomfortable, saying Stelzig was “bird dogging” her from the moment she arrived at the gathering.

The officer described one interaction where he noticed Stelzig speaking to the woman while leaning with his arm up against a wall, saying it appeared he had her cornered. At other points, he said he saw Stelzig put his arm around the woman’s waist and neck, and she was visibly uncomfortable, describing her face as “hilarious” and noting someone could look at it and realize, “holy cow, this woman wants off the ride.”

“So … it did not appear to you those actions were welcomed by this woman?” an investigator asked.

“It didn’t but, at the same time, she wasn’t running away or anything and I’m like, well, you’re not holding anything, you know, and you could like punch this guy or knee-strike him in the groin or something you know … but she wasn’t running away,” the officer responded, apparently oblivious to the possibility that entering into a physical confrontation with a man trained in the use of force may not have seemed like a viable option for a petite woman. “The look on her face, though, at least at one point told me that maybe she didn’t really like it but just didn’t know how to get him off.”

While the officer clearly felt uncomfortable about Stelzig’s interactions with the woman, he made no efforts to intercede but said he tried to keep an eye on the two of them.

Again speaking generally and not about Stelzig’s case, Arrowsmith-Jones said North Coast Rape Crisis teaches workshops about bystander engagement and how people can recognize “opportunities to intervene in certain ways when there are situations with the potential for harm,” recognizing that social pressures can make it difficult or awkward. She said

a big part of the equation is helping people understand the barriers to intervening — fearing you’re misunderstanding the situation, fearing the perpetrator may hurt you or not wanting to step out of a crowd to be the only one to intervene.

She said she teaches “the three Ds” — direct, distract and delegate. Direct intervention would be addressing the perpetrator, saying something like, “Hey buddy, you need to stop.” A distraction would be less confrontational and centers around getting the perpetrator or the other person involved out of the interaction.

“I might feel like I could go over and make an excuse and say, ‘Hey, remember we were going to hang out or go do something,’” Arrowsmith-Jones said.

Delegating is simply going to someone else with your concerns and saying, “Hey, can you help me out because I’m not sure what to do,” whether that’s an official — like a police officer — or a friend.

It’s important to think about intervention more broadly and recognizing that it’s not “always about jumping in the middle of a fight,” Arrowsmith-Jones said. And in instances when people don’t intervene, she said, it’s important they reflect on the situation and contemplate what they could do differently in the future.

“The other thing we would say is, if I saw something weird and wasn’t able to interrupt it, I still have the opportunity to check in with the person afterward and ask them, ‘Are you OK? Do you need anything?’” she said, adding that despite opportunities — or missed opportunities — for intervention, the ultimate responsibility for predatory behavior rests solely with the perpetrator. “The violence — or any inappropriate behavior — rests solely on the shoulders of the person doing it and not anyone who didn’t intervene.”

Reflecting on Stelzig’s case, Watson said he hopes the disclosure of the internal affairs investigation shows the public that EPD won’t hesitate to clean its own house, noting that the investigation spanned more than a year and caused fissures within the department. In all these cases, Watson said command staff is legally prohibited from telling officers why one of their colleagues is under investigation and not out on patrol. It’s trying, Watson said, but ultimately necessary.

“This badge means so much to us,” Watson said. “We understand it entails a sacred oath and our authority is derived from the community’s trust.” l Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor and prefers he/him pronouns.

he Krabby Patty from SpongeBob SquarePants has been stuck in my head for years. From the time my kids enjoyed watching SpongeBob, I heard “Krabby Patty” over and over. I assumed it was a crab cake patty because there was a crab walking around in the show. I swear, for all these years I thought it was crabby with a “C,” not “Krabby,” until I Googled it yesterday. When I told my boys, now grown, they laughed. Jay said it’s a secret formula so no one actually knows what the patty is made of, but it looks like a meat patty.

Well, my version of a crabby patty looks like the classic Chinese egg foo yung my dad used to make in the morning before the restaurant he worked at opened.

There were always at least a few dozen on the grill. They were big sellers with combination plates but I always liked mine with seafood.

Since our crab season is finally here, I’m jumping with joy. I love fresh crab for sandwiches, sautéed with ginger and scallions, in crab cheese puffs and crab foo yung. For the past weeks I have been going to the dock and Wild Planet often to buy live crab. The meat is firm and sweet, a true delight for those of us living by the coast. Here, I’m sharing two of my favorite easy recipes with you. Let’s get cracking.

Crab Foo Yung Serves 4.

Ingredients: 2 cups fresh cooked crab meat 4 eggs, beaten 2 cups chopped bean spouts ½ cup finely chopped yellow onion 1 cup finely chopped celery 1 teaspoon minced ginger ½ cup chopped green onion Salt and pepper to taste 3 tablespoons vegetable oil Black sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Crab puffs stuffed with freshly caught Humboldt Bay Dungeness.

Blanch the bean sprouts, celery and yellow onion in boiling water for 2 minutes.

Drain them in a colander and set them aside to cool completely. Then place them in a mixing bowl, adding the crab meat, eggs, ginger, green onion, salt and pepper.

Stir and mix well. Heat up a flat bottomed pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Once the oil is hot, spoon in about 3 heaping tablespoons of crab mixture per patty. Fry only a few patties per batch, leaving at least an inch of space between them. Cook for about 2 minutes until golden, turning halfway through. Add oil to the pan as needed. Serve plain, with a sprinkle of black sesame seeds, topped with gravy or with ketchup, the way my kids like them.

Ingredients: For the filling: 2 cups fresh crab meat 1 cup cream cheese at room temperature ¼ cup shredded mozzarella ¼ cup chopped green onion 1 to 2 finely chopped Tien Tsin or Chinese red chilis (optional) 1 tablespoon sugar 1 teaspoon white pepper

Photo by Wendy Chan

Crab Cheese Puffs Makes about 24-28 puffs.

For the wrappers: 1 package wonton wrappers 1 beaten egg for sealing wrappers 6 cups vegetable oil for frying Using your hands, mix all the filling ingredients together. Let the mixture sit

for 20 minutes. Cover a baking sheet with wax paper or sprinkle it with flour. Place 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of each wrapper. Brush the edges of the wrapper with egg and fold it diagonally into a triangle, pinching to seal it tightly.

Place the sealed puffs on the baking sheet, leaving space between them.

In a deep pot, heat the oil until a cooking thermometer reads 330 F. Fry a few at a time for less than 1 minute per side until golden and puffy. Remove and let them cool on a wire rack or plate lined with paper towels. Serve with sweet and sour or sweet chili sauce. l You can find Home Cooking with Wendy Chan classes benefitting local charities on Facebook. She prefers she/her.

Is This the Real Life?

Life is a Dream at NCRT

By David Jervis

frontrow@northcoastjournal.com

A

re we here right now? And if we are, can we trust what we see before us?

The idea of life as a complete or occasional dream state isn’t new — it goes back millennia, stretching through Mahayana Buddhism to the ancient Greeks and into the Renaissance. In the past few decades, the idea that perceived reality is in fact a quantum computer simulation has gained a lot of cachet, too.

But we’re getting ahead of ourselves here; let us return to the 17th century in what’s known as the Spanish Golden Age. It’s then that live theater thrived on the Iberian Peninsula, when Pedro Calderón de la Barca wrote Life is a Dream, now staged, with a youthful cast and spirit, at North Coast Repertory Theatre.

Calderón’s play, written and first performed in 1635, took place in Poland and what was then the Grand Duchy of Muskovy, but director Elio Robles has set the production in the manner and dress of 17th century Spain. At its center is a story central to many European plays of the era: the transfer of dynastically held royal power.

Events begin with two travelers, Rosaura (Andrea Carrillo), who is disguised as a man, and Clarin (Jeremy Stolp), arriving at a prison tower to find a miserable man bound in chains. The man is Segismundo (Victor Parra) and we come to learn that he has been jailed simply for the crime of being born, held under the eye of Clotaldo (Andrew Hempstead). Although it may not be clear in the first act, the main overall drama at the heart of Life is a Dream is the story of Segismundo and Rosura. The reason behind her guise as a man is a desire to control her own destiny — a central theme of the play — and to regain her own honor.

Clotaldo takes Rosaura and Clarin into custody, but recognizes a sword in her possession as one that once belonged to him. Thinking she is male, Clotaldo believes that she might be his son. The action then shifts to the court of King Basilo (Jesse Chavez), where it is revealed that he had been warned decades before that his son will be born a violent, ruthless maniac,

14

and so banished him to the tower forever.

He reveals this secret to his niece Estrella (Michelle Purnell) and nephew Astolfo (Garrett Vallejo) on the eve of Clotaldo arriving with Rosaura and Clarin.

This sets in motion the king’s decision to have his son freed and brought to the court, where he proposes to test his abilities as a potential heir to the throne. First, he orders that Segismundo be drugged nearly to death. Segismundo arrives at the palace convinced that either his past time in chains has been a horrible dream or perhaps the present is a dream escape from his captivity.

In addition to the themes of father-son conflict and court intrigue that blossom into full war by the play’s end, Segismundo’s pondering on the state of what is real — and whether one’s actions in what’s perceived to be a dream have echoes in reality — is at the heart of the play.

This is not as obtuse and inaccessible as it may sound, for Calderón was a great playwright of his time, a peer of Cervantes with a poet’s gift for psychological insights. Life is a Dream manages to be entertaining while deftly moving through such ideas as fate, determinism undermining free will, gender roles and men subjugating women.

That is a lot to weave into a story but, under Robles’ direction, things move along at a good clip. And while some of the internecine royal court activity slackens matters, it gives way to Segismundo and Rosura meeting and becoming more revealed to one another in the next act, focusing the story. A Humboldt State University alum with experience as an actor in Radioman last year at Dell’Arte, Robles is well-suited to helm this production, which is excellently costumed by Megan Hughes.

As Segismundo, Parra has the best role and builds well on his previous role at NCRT in last season’s Native Gardens, bringing spark and soul-searching to a man often at odds with reality and existence. Like most of the young cast in Life is a Dream, he has a pedigree from HSU Theater Arts Department productions.

This also includes the very good Carrillo in her NCRT debut as Rosaura, as well

as Stolp and Vallejo in adept supporting performances.

From Tragedy to Farce

By Collin Yeo

music@northcoastjournal.com

T

here are a lot of things I didn’t like about last week, from comical nonsense like The New York Times endorsing Elizabeth Warren AND Amy Klobucar as the Democratic Party candidate because apparently we plan on being ruled by an executive diarchy harvested straight out of the professional managerial strata and with absurdly low support from racial minorities and the lower economic classes, to more troubling developments. Like the erosion of our democracy into one-party corporate minority rule over all three branches of government as played out by the clear partisan outline of the impeachment spectacle. This combined with a middle class shrunk past a level common in developed countries makes me genuinely scared of a fascist future. However, there are small graces. Despite constant abuse or neglect from the corporate media, Bernie Sanders is surging in the polls just ahead of the Iowa Caucus. And while I don’t believe that his election would fix our problems, I am glad to see a desire to return to the FDRera policies that allowed my grandparent’s generation to escape poverty. Also, I can’t help but think that Hillary Clinton bashing him in the current news cycle won’t hurt him, especially while she is simultaneously defending her past association with Harvey Weinstein. If nothing else, she is clearly not a very good judge of character. I think that there are enough reasonable people in the country who can see that.

Locally things seem to be slowly improving as far as the nightlife goes. The students are back and the evenings are booked up.

Let’s have a look, shall we?

Thursday The Outer Space collective is throwing

a queer dance party at Synapsis tonight.

Come join Rhode Island’s La Neve, as well as local DJs Rosé and Kandelaria at 8 p.m. for a disco-punk fandango. The fun starts at 8 p.m. and there is a suggested sliding scale cover charge of $5-$20 for the touring artist.

Friday Humboldt County’s premier Pink Floyd impressionists Money are playing a free show at the Firewater Lounge in Cher-Ae Heights Casino tonight at 8 p.m. No word on the setlist and era being presented as of press time.

Meanwhile, an hour later over at Humbrews, it’s the decade’s first edition of Soul Party. DJ Red, JayMorg and Funky T-Rex. The all-vinyl soul revue will hopefully be the same dance, dance, revolution as it ever was, with a very affordable $5 door price.

Saturday I mentioned the unfortunate passing of Natty Dog proprietor and local metalhead Eric Riccio back in December. Today the heavy music community gathers at the Manila Community Center to celebrate his life, as well as the birthday of local headbanger Boz Flores. This all-ages event has what is shaping up to be a stellar lineup of six string samurais from here and far, including Chains of Belmont, Sever All, Cross Oceans, Grey Bush (formerly downcypher) and Scythe at 5 p.m. (price TBA).

The locally re-rooted Bay Area rapper Nac-One is throwing down a big one with his friends over at the Miniplex at 9:30 p.m. For a mere $5 you can enjoy the lyrical stylings of (my brother) Rufian, Cam Wallace, Hiraam and Flo J Simpson,

HEY, BANDS. Submit your gigs online: www.northcoastjournal.com

La Neve plays Synapsis at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 23. Photo by Fernando Osorio, submitted all curated by the masterful mixings of DJ Goldylocks. Get it.

Sunday Local hootin’ hollerin’ folk and bluegrass trio Three Legged Dog is playing a knee slapping, jug stomper at Sidelines tonight at 9 p.m. (free). I’ve seen these boys play at Toby and Jack’s before and they really stretch out and fill the contours of the room. Some bands are just made for the places they play and this group has just such a relationship with this bookend of bar row.

Monday Los Angeles by way of Joshua Tree sonic artist Matt Adams has carved a musical niche over the last decade by inventing a series of blissed out tracks and records under the name The Blank Tapes. Imagine slippery songs evoking sun bleached memories of Sunset Strip and Los Angeles County, this is the music that a restless city hears in dreams from a sleep that is always just out of memory’s reach. It’s good, folks.

Along for the ride tonight are our very own local gravel pit, backwoods quarry masters and saw-fiddlers the Bow-Legged Buzzards at 9 p.m. ($10). This should be a musically diverse show and nowhere else but the Miniplex could house such a spectacle.

Quebec comprised of players from the world famous groups Cirque du Soleil and Cirque Éloize. Tonight at 7 p.m. the Van Duzer will house its big winter production, appropriately titled Blizzard: Taking the Stage by Storm ($25-$39). Not sure what to expect? Probably for the best — these highly choreographed and live soundtracked events are best seen without prejudice or conditions beyond a set of fresh, naked eyeballs.

Wednesday Humboldt’s travelin’ outlaw country act Lone Star Junction has a free gig tonight at the Wave Lounge at Blue Lake Casino at 8 p.m. If you like dancing to a mix of originals as well as tunes from the Heartworn Highways-era of good ’70s country acts like Waylon and Willie and the boys, this is the place for you. ● Full show listings in the Journal’s Music and More grid, the Calendar and online.

Bands and promoters, send your gig info, preferably with a high-res photo or two, to music@northcoastjournal.com.

... it’s ZOUNDS Thirteen: Get Lucky! Redwood Curtain Theatre’s 13th annual live radio show and fundraiser takes the mic on Saturday, Jan. 25, in Blue Lake Casino’s Sapphire Palace. Dinner is at 6:15 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m.

You up all night to get lucky? Well, the writers of Zounds this year certainly have been. They’ve been up a few nights writing, drinking, laughing, singing and laughing some more, all to get the show nailed down and ready for your night of eating, drinking and laughing. What is Zounds?

Redwood Curtain organizers describe it as Prairie Home Companion meets Saturday Night Live, with a Humboldt County twist. The show is performed before a live audience and broadcast live on KHUM 104.3. The sketches and song parodies (a la Randy Rainbow), cast members write themselves — fresh and funny every year. This year’s talented cast features Julie Angles, Terry Desch, Ron Halverson, Bonnie Halverson, James Hitchcock, Christina Jioras, Peggy Metzger, Larry Pitts, Matt Jioras, Ben Aldag and Clint Rebik.

Try your luck at the silent auction, raffle and wine pull ($20 to grab a mystery bottle of wine), or spend $20 to “buy-a-line” (lower your eyebrow — not that kind of line) of dialogue in the live show. Dinner includes your choice of cider-brined pork, chicken monk or stuffed cabbage with quinoa, plus appetizers, dessert and wine. There’s also a no-host bar.

“It’s my favorite night of the year,” says Redwood Curtain Theatre Artistic Director Clint Rebik. “We perform and have fun with some of our favorite people, and raise money so we can keep bringing you exceptional theater. We will also be announcing our 22nd season of outstanding plays.”

And it’s not just Rebik’s favorite night of the year — the event sees many return guests, some who’ve never missed a Zounds. Purchase tickets

by Jan. 23 at www.redwoodcurtain.com ($65, $500 table of eight). Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and you can also listen live (and free) on KHUM 104.3 on Saturday at 8 p.m.

VIRGIN RIVER. Last week I treated myself to a deep dive into the roiling drama of the Romance Writers of America, a professional organization undergoing a page-turner of an upheaval stemming from one member’s critique of another member’s blithely racist novel. Down the RWA rabbit hole I learned the genre has undergone some major shifts in terms of who’s telling the stories and what kinds of protagonists they’re putting forth, and it made me consider what we expect from the filmed genre. Then I plunged myself into the far less exciting Netflix adaptation of a series by one of its prominent members, Robyn Carr. Her Virgin River novels represent a chunk of her 50-book oeuvre and are set in a fictional town of the same name somewhere in our very real Humboldt County.

Those who’ve read her work will have to let me know how she captures our region on the page, but the streaming episodes (filmed in Vancouver) are flat and flavorless.

The series opens with familiar enough shots of two-lane blacktop winding through biggish trees (sorry, British Columbia). Nurse practitioner and midwife Mel Monroe (Alexandra Breckenridge) is on her way from Los Angeles to a year-long stint with a rural physician when she’s run off the road by an 18 wheeler. The grumpy local who comes to her rescue mocks her small car and shames her for offering cash for the ride and only reveals he’s her reluctant new boss Doc Mullins (Tim Matheson) after she’s accidentally insulted him. Turns out she’s been hired

by Mayor Hope McCrea (Annette O’Toole), a perpetually scurrying woman who has also catfished her into accepting a broken down “country chic” log cabin as housing.

In perhaps the most outlandish plot thread, Mullins, the rural town’s only doctor, doesn’t want an NP/midwife (*deep Humboldtian sigh) and won’t let her see patients. “You know, in this county, trespassers can be shot on sight,” he barks at her. (This is not true.

Please don’t shoot people cutting through your yard.) And when a baby is left in a laundry basket on the steps of the practice, the two butt heads about what’s best for the little girl because in the country we don’t call social services for abandoned infants.

Mel at least hits it off with bar owner Jack (Martin Henderson), though I’ve seen more sexual chemistry between zoo pandas. We

learn from fuzzy flashbacks they’ve both got trauma in their pasts: He’s got mental and physical scars from his time as a Marine and she’s still wearing the wedding ring from her mysteriously absent perfect husband. Along the way, there are secondary character subplots, secrets revealed and a trip at gunpoint to a snowy (!) “illegal growers’ camp.”

The setting in Humboldt, aside from serving the cannabis plot, feels incidental and you could drink every time someone namechecks a real town without getting drunk. Mostly we get generic city mouse/ country mouse tropes, like when “city soft” Mel brings her Celine handbag on a river hike. There is also the antiseptic tidiness of a Hallmark movie, like decorative faux barn wood. They wear rubber boots but there’s no mud. Instead, it’s a moving Land’s End catalogue in which two-dimensional characters pose and say their lines in flattering lighting.

After Murder Mountain and its reckless sensationalism, it’s hard to complain about how our county is represented here. After all (take note, RWA), this is what happens when other people tell our stories. But the textureless quality that makes this series and its performances so boring could have used a little Redwood Curtain weirdness.

As a heroine, Mel is a study in flavorless perfection saddled only with the baggage of her blameless past: She’s smart, capable, beautiful, steadfast and the least compelling thing on screen. The best movie romances are seldom between characters with their best feet forward. From Jane Austen and Michael Ondaatje to Annie Prouxl and Jackie Collins (junior high me will fight you), we swoon for frustrating, flawed people. We grow those in Humboldt, too. TV14. 44M.

Until a few months ago, these were thought to be the main components of the universe.

New research suggests that dark energy may be an illusion. NASA/WMAP Science Team

Dark Energy: Blunder or Boondoggle?

By Barry Evans

A

fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com lbert Einstein told physicist George Gamow that the greatest blunder of his life was his introduction of a “cosmological constant” designated by Λ, the Greek letter lambda. In his 1915 theory of general relativity, Λ, a sort of ubiquitous “anti-gravity,” keeps the universal static, neither expanding nor contracting. But in 1929, Edwin Hubble showed that the universe is expanding — hence Einstein’s “blunder” remark.

Fast forward to 1998, when two teams of cosmologists determined that the rate of expansion was accelerating. Since all matter is attracted to other matter by gravity, the cause for this acceleration couldn’t be particles (which mutually attract) but some mysterious repulsive field permeating everywhere and everything: dark energy. Which, in its simplest form, is Einstein’s cosmological constant: not a blunder but a stroke of genius.

The teams used distant type 1a supernovae to detect this cosmic acceleration. A supernova is a massive, violent, short-lived explosion as a star ends its life. What’s special about type 1a supernovae is their uniform brightness, so by measuring their apparent luminosity, astronomers can calculate their distance, like observing the apparent brightness of a known wattage light bulb. In addition, their red-shifts (when wavelengths from receding objects “stretch out,” aka the Doppler shift), establish how fast they’re moving away from us. By comparing the apparent brightness (hence distance) and red-shift (hence receding velocity) of some 110 type 1a supernovae, the two teams deduced that the expansion of the universe was increasing with time.

Soon we, the lay public, were told, in the form of slick pie-charts (see illustration), that ordinary observable (baryonic) matter — the atoms that make up you, me, Earth and stars — constitutes a mere 5 percent of the mass-energy of the universe. (According to general relativity, mass and energy are interchangeable.) Another 24 percent comes from “dark matter” (the stuff that makes galaxies rotate faster than they “should,” perhaps a new form of sub-atomic particles); while the bulk (71 percent) comes from “dark energy.”

2

Note: (1) Dark energy isn’t dark, it’s transparent (dark things absorb light); (2) despite apparently violating the law of conservation of energy, the strength of dark energy per unit volume stays constant in an expanding universe. This means it’s destined to swamp all other forces (which become more diluted as the universe expands) and assures that the universe will never contract back on itself, but will expand forever.

Which is pretty much how things have stood since 1998. Adam Riess and Saul Perlmutter, leaders of the two “accelerating expansion” research teams, received Nobel Prizes for their work in 2009. Then, in a bombshell paper published last October in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics, a fresh team of researchers question the findings of Riess and Perlmutter, who, the team said, were working from skewed samples of supernovae. Instead of measuring accelerating expansion, Riess and Perlmutter were misled by our galaxy’s local motion relative to the cosmic microwave background (a sort of frame from which all motion can be compared). After examining fresh data for 740 “non-skewed” type 1a supernovae, the current authors conclude, “the cosmic acceleration ... may be an artifact of our being non-Copernican observers, rather than evidence for a dominant component of ‘dark energy’ in the Universe.”

The new paper had barely hit the internet before other cosmologists began picking it apart — followed by rebuttals by the original authors. Such is the way of scientific progress. However, if it’s shown to be correct and expansion of the universe isn’t accelerating, then dark energy appears to be a non-existent boondoggle. Meaning, our universe may ultimately implode upon itself under the force of gravity rather than (as predicted by dark energy) keep expanding, cooling all the while. Wouldn’t you rather everything ends in a dramatic “big crunch” than in an endless whimper? ● Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo.com) would personally prefer to go out with a bang, not a whimper. He prefers he/him.

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of CARL M. KJER, a/k/a CARL MILTON KJER A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Petitioner ELLIS M. KJER In the Superior Court of California, County of Humboldt. The petition for probate requests that ELLIS M. KJER be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on February 13, 2020 at 2:00 p.m. at the Superior Court of Cali− fornia, County of Humboldt, 825 Fifth Street, Eureka, in Dept.: 6.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objec− tions or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the dece− dent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the Cali− fornia Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in Cali− fornia law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE−154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

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

SANDERS by sc, Humboldt County Clerk

Free Will Astrology ARIES (March 21-April 19): German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832) declared that English writer Lord Byron (1788–1824) was the greatest genius of the 19th century. Here’s an interesting coincidence: Byron regarded Goethe as the greatest genius of the 19th century. I bring this to your attention, Aries, in the hope that it will inspire you to create a similar dynamic in your own life during the coming months. As much as possible, surround yourself with people whom you think are wonderful and interesting and enlivening — and who think you are wonderful and interesting and enlivening.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus-born Johannes Brahms (1833–1897) was a renowned German composer who lived most of his life in Germany and Austria. He became so famous and well-respected that England’s Cambridge University offered him an honorary degree if he would visit the campus. But Brahms was too timid to risk crossing the English Channel by boat. (There were no airplanes and Chunnel in those days.) He declined the award. I beg you not to do anything even remotely like that in the coming weeks, Taurus. Please summon the gumption necessary to claim and gather in all you deserve.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): According to my analysis of the astrological omens, the coming weeks will be one of those rare times when you can safely engage with influences that might normally rattle you. You’ll be protected as you wander into the unknown and explore edgy mysteries. Your intuition will be highly reliable if you make bold attempts to solve dilemmas that have previously confounded and frustrated you. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to get a bit wild and exploratory, this is it.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): J. M. W. Turner (1775–1851) is regarded as one of England’s greatest painters. He’s best known for his luminous and imaginative landscapes. His experimental use of light and color influenced the Impressionist painters who came after him. But the weird thing is that after his death, many of his works were lost for decades. In 1939, a famed art historian found over a hundred of them rolled up like tarpaulins in the basement of an art museum. Let’s apply this event as a metaphor for what’s ahead in your life, Cancerian. I suspect that buried or lost elements of your past will soon be rediscovered and restored.

I bet it will be fun and illuminating!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In my early adult life, I lived below the poverty line for many years. How did that impact me? Here’s one example: I didn’t own a mattress from ages 23 to 39, but rather slept on a two-inch thick foam pad that lay directly on the floor. I’m doing better now, thank you. But my early experiences ensured that I would forever have profound empathy for people who don’t have much money. I hope this will serve as inspiration for you, Leo. The next seven weeks will be the Empathy Building Season for you. The cosmos will reward you if you build your ability to appreciate and understand the pains and joys of other humans. Your compassion will be tonic for both your mental and physical health.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Ancient Greek author Theophrastus was a scientist before the concept of “scientist” existed. His writings on botany were influential for hundreds of years after his death. But some of his ideas would be considered unscientific today. For example, he believed that flute music could heal sciatica and epilepsy. No modern research suggests that the charms of the flute can literally cure physical ailments like those.

But there is a great deal of evidence that music can help relieve pain, reduce anxiety, reduce the side effects of drugs, assist in physical therapy and even make you smarter. And my reading of the current astrological omens suggests that the therapeutic effects of music will be especially dramatic for you during the next three weeks.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Learning to love is difficult, and we pay dearly for it,” wrote the serious and somber author Fyodor Dostoevsky. “It takes hard work and a long apprenticeship,” he added. All that’s true, I think. To hone our ability to express tenderness and warmth, even when we’re not at our best, is the most demanding task on earth. It requires more courage than that of a soldier in the frenzy of battle, as much imagination as a poet, and diligence equal to that of an architect supervising the construction of a massive suspension bridge. And yet on the other hand — contrary to what Dostoevsky believed — sometimes love is mostly fun and inspiring and entertaining and educational. I suspect that the coming weeks will be one of those phases for you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): How well do you nurture yourself, dear Scorpio? How diligent are you in providing yourself with the sustenance that ensures your body, mind and soul will thrive? Are you imaginative in the ways that you keep yourself excited about life? Do you take strong measures to avoid getting attached to mediocre pleasures, even as you consistently hone your focus on the desires that lead you to joy and deep satisfaction? The coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to meditate on these questions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Seven books of the Bible’s Old Testament refer to a magical place called Ophir. It was a source of exotic finery and soulful treasures like gold, peacocks, jewels, frankincense and precious sandalwood. One problem: No one, not even a Biblical scholar, has ever figured out where it was.

Zimbabwe? India? Tunisia? Its location is still unknown. I am bringing this to your attention because I suspect that in 2020 there’ll be a good chance you’ll discover and gain access to your own metaphorical Ophir: a fount of interesting, evocative resources.

For best results, be primed and eager to offer your own skills and riches in exchange for what this fount can provide to you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn filmmaker Steven Soderbergh says it’s crucial for us to have a well-developed story about who we are and what we’re doing with our lives. It’s so important, he feels, that it should be the trigger that flings us out of bed every morning. We’ve got to make our story so vivid and interesting that it continually motivates us in every little thing we do. Soderbergh’s counsel is always good to keep in mind, of course, but it will be even more so for you in the coming months.

Why? Because your story will be expanding and deepening, and you’ll need to make the necessary adjustments in how you tell your story to yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I’m a big fan of self-editing. For example, every horoscope I write evolves over the course of at least three drafts. For each book I’ve published, I have written but then thrown away hundreds of pages that I ultimately deemed weren’t good enough to be a part of the finished text. And yet now and then, I have created a poem or song in one rapid swoop.

My artistic artifact is exactly right the first time it flows out of me, with no further tinkering needed. I suspect you’re now entering a phase like that, Aquarius. I’m reminded of poet Allen Ginsberg’s operative principle: “first thought, best thought.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Who don’t you want to be, Pisces?

Where don’t you want to go? What experiences are not necessary in your drive to become the person you were born to be? I encourage you to ask yourself questions like those in the coming weeks. You’re entering a phase when you can create long-term good fortune for yourself by knowing what you don’t like and don’t need and don’t require. Explore the positive effects of refusal. Wield the power of saying NO so as to liberate yourself from all that’s irrelevant, uninteresting, trivial and unhealthy. ●
