Masking Life

Much More Than Masks Editor: In response to the letter from Amy Gustin, “Must be the Masks” (Mailbox, Jan. 20), we must make comparisons that are more accurate. On Dec. 3, 2021, a study called Norway versus Sweden: A case study in COVID-19 came out by Biljana Stangeland PhD. The key information will be addressed.

The response to COVID in Norway, as well as other Scandinavian countries, was to implement lockdowns and restrictions.

Sweden chose to be much less restrictive and continued life as normal. There were 1.16 million documented COVID-19 cases in Sweden, with 14,900 people who lost their lives to the disease. In Norway, during the same period, there were 193,000 cases and 871 deaths. Adjusting to population size, the number of cases was five times higher in Sweden, and the number of deaths was 12 times higher in Sweden than in Norway.

In 92 weeks, Sweden fared the worst when compared with all of the Scandinavian countries. I wonder what percentage of Swedes would have gladly worn a piece of cloth over their face, if they knew it may have prevented a friend or family member from being hospitalized or buried?

At the present time, 82 percent of all Swedes are vaccinated with two doses or more. Norway has an 88-percent rate. In the United States, 63 percent of Americans are fully vaccinated (causing a higher death rate?). On Jan. 12, 2022, Sweden introduced the implementation of much stricter infection control measures, including the wearing of masks in public places.

Is this in response to the data?

As for the economy, Denmark, Norway and Sweden have all fared better than they were before the pandemic on every measure. America has also performed reasonably well. This information is from The Economist’s Jan 1, 2022, edition. Denmark ranked first, Sweden third, Norway fourth

and the United States ninth out of 23 rich countries. Let’s look at all the information before dispensing an opinion that masks and restrictions have been more harmful than helpful. That may not be the case.

Teresa Baginski, Eureka Editor: I found it amusing, well more like irritating, that Gustin (“Must be the Masks,”

COVID-19 Vaccine

Mailbox, Jan. 20) chose the mask issue as her takeaway from her three months in Sweden. I lived in Scandinavia for six years and have friends in Stockholm, a town where I’ve spent considerable time over four decades. So what might be more significant to learn from time in Sweden?

To name a few — they believe in government and follow guidelines, they believe in the collective good and will act on behalf of what is best for everyone and they have universal health coverage, in other words, an excellent health care system to weather the numbers of people hospitalized or in need of medical care.

None of these conditions exist here that might impact how we address COVID. Stockholm center has cameras to record the license plates of every car that enters the downtown. If anyone driving in does not have a permit to do so, they are fined. This is to assure that anyone using a car has a purpose to be there and need of using their car. This policy reinforces using public transportation, which everyone

does in Sweden. It comes back to their belief in doing what is best for the collective, in this case for the environment and health of a city. This would never fly here.

It would be resisted by the proponents of so-called “freedom.” Well, in Scandinavia there is real freedom because people are secure in knowing that their cultural and political representatives actually care about everyone’s well-being.

I suggest Gustin read Jennifer Fumiko Cahill’s editorial in this issue (“Fighting for Everyone”, Jan. 20) where the very values in Scandinavia are reflected. These are the meaningful observations to learn about Sweden and to advocate for here. One more thing, voting happens in libraries, schools, etc. all over the country there and goes on days, making it easily accessible.

Pamela Ann Brown, Arcata Editor: Amy Gustin’s Jan. 20 letter gives a superficial and incomplete analysis of COVID and wearing masks. She notes that

Sweden did not have a mask mandate when she was there last year and that its rate of deaths from COVID was less than in the U.S. Part of the social contract in Sweden is free universal health care, which gives rise to a much healthier population.

Health conditions that increase the risk of death from COVID are much higher in the U.S. Our level of obesity is three times higher, while chronic lung and kidney disease and diabetes are more than twice as high here as in Sweden. Heart disease rates here are also significantly higher. Amy fails to take this into consideration.

In Sweden, nearly 80 percent of the population aged 16 and older are fully vaccinated. The most vulnerable population is at about 95 percent. In the U.S., 64 percent are fully vaccinated, and only about 50 percent of the most vulnerable are vaccinated. If our country had the level of social cohesion she observed in Sweden, we would see a higher rate of vaccination and fewer COVID-related deaths.

Today, Sweden’s level of COVID risk is very high and the CDC advises against traveling there. Sweden is now rethinking its position on masks. In Norway, masks are mandatory when you travel by public transport, or taxi, in shops, shopping centers and indoor areas. Sweden’s COVID death rate is 10 times higher than Norway, where they wear masks. Do you think there might be some correlation?

The contrast between Sweden and Humboldt is stark and bleak, as Amy observes. While Swedes follow the best medical advice and get vaccinated, too many here refuse vaccines, thinking they know more than medical experts. And yes, Amy, many of us are getting sick and tired of it.

‘Glossing’ Editor: Last week’s Journal contained an insert from Redwood Coast Energy Authority that described its programs and projects for clean, renewable energy. Among the renewable energy resources listed is biomass — the black sheep of renewables.

Burning biomass produces nearly a quarter of our electricity supply. It also emits approximately 284,000 metric tons of CO2 every year. That is close to 75 percent of all vehicle emissions per year in the county. People concerned about climate change would be thrilled if we could somehow figure out how to reduce vehicle emissions by 25 percent here.

Abandoning biomass electricity would accomplish so much more.

I was glad to see that RCEA has apparently removed biomass electricity from

their upgraded REpower mix, and now can truly say it’s carbon-free. They can’t say that about their regular power mix, which is promised to be “100 percent net zero” by 2030. Most people don’t understand that term. They would be surprised to realize the high carbon emissions are entailed by RCEA’s contract to keep burning biomass into 2031.

Adopting biomass energy to replace fossil fuels has been a spectacular wrong turn for the movement to de-carbonize the grid as rapidly as possible. Climate scientists and activists have tried for years to change this grim reality, but it’s good business for the entrenched timber industry.

Our biomass is mostly mill waste generated by Humboldt Sawmill Co. and incinerated in inefficient boilers to make expensive, dirty electricity. HSC could take a more modern and innovative approach to mill waste that would be much better for the environment. RCEA could focus resources on truly clean sources of energy.

Perhaps both entities aspire to these goals in the long run, but glossing over the current reality does not inspire confidence.

“The Golden Rule” Editor: I have been thinking about words and meanings and mentionings lately. We have an interesting habit in our world of using quite harsh and derogatory words in quick and clever and glib and mean ways.

I could go through the alphabet and find a derogatory word that begins with each letter. You can, too. Yet just because we know a derogatory word, it does not mean we ought to use it toward one another (Mailbox, Jan. 20). Let’s step out of the mudslinging and the one-upsmanship in our communication, please.

One of my terrific teachers who taught me about writing and speaking recommends that one look in the mirror and read aloud, or say out loud, something they want to say to someone else. Hearing it with your own ears and seeing yourself say it with your own eyes makes a difference. Are you talking to me? Remember the Golden Rule. Thanks for reading this out loud or not.

Frustrated and Confused

Texts illuminate allegations against Arcata Councilmember Brett Watson

By Kimberly Wear kim@northcoastjournal.com

W

hile few details have emerged about misconduct allegations facing former Arcata Mayor and sitting Councilmember Brett Watson, text messages between his fellow councilmembers show a growing frustration about his conduct.

Things spilled into public view when the city called a special Oct. 20 session to discuss selecting a new mayor. Though Watson, who had been arrested for driving under the influence and drug possession in August, had not formally resigned his post, City Manager Karen Diemer said the move was being considered “in communication” with him and for “personal reasons.”

Shortly after, Watson announced he was entering a treatment program “to focus on depression and personal issues.” He has returned to the council dais but allegations of unspecified wrongdoing remain, and the city recently hired of an outside firm to investigate Watson’s possible violations of its anti-discrimination and harassment policy.

While the city has declined to further explain the allegations, which Watson denies, or who’s involved, the little information released seems to indicate it involved staff.

Watson did not immediately respond to a request for comment for this story and previously said he wasn’t aware of the nature of the claims against him.

Text and email exchanges involving Watson and his four fellow councilmembers recently released to the Journal through a public records request show growing frustration surrounding Watson leading up to the Oct. 20 meeting, as his fellow councilmembers seemingly shifted from feeling sympathetic to manipulated.

The documents also show that Watson’s removal from the mayoral role was originally his idea. But, according to the texts, the same day he appears to have broached the subject, councilmembers received apparently shocking news from City Attorney Nancy Diamond regarding Watson.

“Did you talk to Nancy Diamond? Holy actual shit,” Councilmember Meredith Matthews texted fellow Councilmember Emily Goldstein.

“Yep!” Goldstein replied. “My reaction exactly.”

Just before 8:45 p.m. that day, Watson sent a one-line email to then Vice Mayor

Stacy Atkins-Salazar and the city clerk.

“You should put ‘selection of a new mayor and vice mayor’ on the next agenda if you haven’t already,” he wrote, adding a smiley emoticon and signing: Brett.

According to Diemer, Watson had already informed her and the city attorney that he “had informally stepped down as mayor as he considered his options.”

The next day, Oct. 13, Watson attended a closed session meeting about the allegations and the city’s potential exposure to litigation.

While what was said in that closed door session is unclear; texts indicate the four other councilmembers thought the situation was resolved.

“Hey, hope you are OK,” Matthews wrote Atkins-Salazar afterward. “This was a rough night.”

“I’m just so grateful it’s out in the open and that all 4 of us are on the same page,” Atkins-Salazar responded. “I think this is going to make us so much stronger as a council.”

But the mood of the exchanges would shift over the next 24 hours as Watson indicated he was considering remaining in office.

His fellow councilmembers’ initial relief seemed to unravel into frustration and anger.

On Oct. 14, Atkins-Salazar wrote to Matthews that Watson told her he would resign and intended to do so at the beginning of the Oct. 20 meeting.

“Huh,” Matthews responded. “That’s not what he told me.”

She then sent Atkins-Salazar a screenshot of a message Watson sent her that day indicating he was rethinking his resignation.

“My therapist says I shouldn’t resign,” Watson had written. “She says [name redacted] led me on and tried to keep me addicted to [redacted] so [redacted] could control me.”

Watson added his attorney said he shouldn’t resign, as did two others he reported talking to. Later, Watson texted that his psychologist said “[name redacted] was enjoying the relationship and having me dependent on [redacted].”

Atkins Salazar asked Matthews to forward Watson’s message to the city attorney, adding she was “starting to get angry.”

“We’ve been trying to be very gracious and give him an easy way out,” she wrote.

“But this is not OK.” Matthews agreed, responding that she

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Jan. 27, 2022 • northcoastjournal.com

was “not sure what his endgame is.”

“I’m so angry,” she wrote. “I was a GOOD FRIEND to him. I was so kind after that DUI. I am too old for this shit.”

Atkins-Salazar wrote she was “done as well.”

“And if he’s going to be dishonest and continue to manipulate us I’m going to be a lot freer with what I say to the public,” Atkins-Salazar wrote, adding she didn’t plan to sit in chambers like “nothings going on.”

As the Oct. 20 council meeting approached, apparently without word from Watson, text messages show confusion.

Just after noon the day before the meeting, Atkins-Salazar told Matthews she still hadn’t heard from Watson.

“At this point some of it is still up in the air. … Especially since we haven’t received a letter of resignation yet,” she wrote. “So I’m thinking we won’t 100% know what’s going on until we actually get to the meeting.”

Matthews responded that Watson texted that he’d checked into a treatment center and she told him to “focus on his demons.”

“I doubt we will get anything from him,” Matthews wrote.

The two discussed having Diamond check in with each of the councilmembers about what to say if no letter materialized.

“It will be an interesting meeting to say the least,” Atkins-Salazar said, finishing with a shrugging emoji.

Hours later, Goldstein and Councilmember Sarah Schaefer had a similar exchange.

“Very annoying to be left in the dark like this especially when all we asked for was clarity,” Schaefer wrote.

Goldstein responded that she was sending Diamond a statement on the vote of no confidence to review and would be asking the attorney if she could share it with the rest of the council.

“If that is how you all want to move forward then I am comfortable making the motion and reading the statement but I want to make sure it’s how we all feel is best to move forward,” Goldstein wrote.

Schaefer responded she was “100% comfortable” with that.

The next night, Oct. 20, with no resignation in hand, Atkins-Salazar was selected in a special session to replace Watson as mayor.

Goldstein, who was appointed vice mayor at the same time, then read her statement before moving that the council cast a no-confidence vote. She noted Watson had been informed it would happen.

“We have no legal ability to remove him from the city council. However, I believe we owe it to the people of Arcata to make it clear — we do not align ourselves with the actions of Councilmember Watson,” Goldstein read, saying that a week earlier “information came to light regarding alleged behaviors of Councilmember Watson that

negatively affected the city and some of its staff members.”

“It is our responsibility now, as the council, to protect the well-being of our employees and the ability of our city to run smoothly,” she continued.

Two days later, around 7 p.m. Watson responded from his personal email, that he was entering the 30-day residential rehabilitation program.

Watson’s choice to use city letterhead — making his statement appear sanctioned by the city — chafed his fellow councilmembers.

“WTF,” Goldstein texted Matthews. “He forged a city document?????”

“I’m blown away,” she added. “Every time I think he can’t go farther he does.”

Matthews agreed: “Super disrespectful to do it this way, without taking any responsibility.”

Three months later, the city announced its hiring of an outside firm to investigate allegations against Watson. According to the agreement with Kramer Workplace Investigations, the city is paying $15,000 for the Danville firm to conduct the inquiry, which must be wrapped up by June 30.

In a Jan. 11 news release on the investigation, the city also stated that under normal circumstances an employee facing similar allegations would be placed on administrative leave or reassigned, but Watson’s status as an elected official makes that impractical.

Instead, the release states, “The city council adopted special protocols through which he may interact with city staff to continue performing all of his duties as an elected official while having restricted contact with potential victims and witnesses.”

The city declined to provide the Journal with a copy of any complaints filed or to provide a timeline of the allegations made, citing the need to “protect the integrity of the investigation and protect the privacy of the involved individuals.”

Watson has previously denied the allegations in a statement, saying he has “not done anything to warrant such an allegation” and fears “these allegations are motivated by my continued efforts to hold city staff accountable with timely answers to my questions on behalf of my constituents.”

The Jan. 11 city release notes “no finding has been made as to whether a violation of the city’s policy has occurred, and we are committed to due process throughout this investigation. … Once the investigation is completed, the city will determine what, if any, additional information can be disclosed to the public.”l Kimberly Wear (she/her) is the digital editor at the Journal.

Human Remains Repatriated to Wiyot Tribe

T

he U.S. Army Corps of Engineers San Francisco District and the University of California at Berkeley recently repatriated 20 human remains believed to be lineal descendants of the Wiyot Tribe and 136 historical, traditional and culturally important objects that belong to the Wiyot Tribe.

“We have been working to return the remains of our relations for years. We are thankful to finally be able to welcome them home,” said Ted Hernandez, cultural director and tribal historic preservation officer for the Wiyot Tribe.

The collection of Wiyot remains and historical items was uncovered in 1946 during construction of the Humboldt Bay jetties, which were built by the U.S. Corps of Engineers, and have since resided in the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology at U.C. Berkeley.

Research conducted by Statistical Research Inc. for the Corps found the human remains were likely to be lineal descendants of the Wiyot people, based on ethnographic, linguistic, osteological and archaeological data. Through further

research conducted by U.C. Berkeley in 2021, it is believed the remains were those of likely victims of the massacre on Tuluwat Island, which took place Feb. 26, 1860, when white settlers attacked numerous Wiyot villages, killing hundreds of Wiyot people, mostly women and children.

The release states that Corps and U.C. Berkeley first consulted with numerous tribes concerning the collection in September of 2007.

“Information supplied by the Wiyot Tribe and other federally recognized tribes with Wiyot composition supported the research of the two agencies. The tribe recognized that the human remains belonged to the Wiyot and then requested the return of the remains and associated funerary items,” the release states.

“The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers San Francisco District and U.C. Berkeley agreed to follow the process of repatriation pursuant to the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (a federal law enacted by Congress in 1990 to ensure the return of Native American human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects and objects of cultural patrimony to lineal

Behind the push to repeal the county’s Measure S and what it might cost

o hear insiders tell it, Humboldt County’s cannabis industry can be likened to a small ship in rough seas. Battered by an onslaught of waves seemingly coming from all directions — taxes, fees, compliance costs, COVID disruptions and fierce market forces — the boat has capsized, leaving its occupants struggling to keep their chins above water as their legs grow numb and tired.

Local growers are now clamoring for the county to throw them a life vest, asking the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors to temporarily repeal Measure S, the countywide cultivation tax approved by 66 percent of county voters in 2016. The hope, says Natalynne Delapp, executive director of the Humboldt County Growers Alliance, is not so much that the brief tax reprieve on its own would be enough to save the county’s 1,000 or so licensed farms, but that it would keep them afloat until reinforcements — federal legalization, state tax relief or a seismic shift in market forces — rights the proverbial ship.

But the ask comes at a time when the county itself is taking on water. COVID-19 and the cratering cannabis economy have destabilized sales tax revenues, while the county’s well documented fiscal dysfunction — it has yet to close its books from the past two years due to ongoing turmoil in and around the Auditor-Controller’s Office — has cast a shroud over all its budgeting projections. Plus, the county just agreed to pay out its largest round of employee raises in recent memory — a minimum of 10 percent hikes across the board this year, with additional bumps in the coming two years — significantly increasing payroll expenses without a

corresponding increase in revenue.

All this leaves some asking whether the county is in a position to throw anyone a life vest, much less whether doing so would be enough to even temporarily buoy a drowning industry, while others ask if it can afford not to.

“That’s a hard balance when you’re a supervisor who is directly responsible for fiscal surety throughout the county and also to your constituents, especially in the second district, where I have about 80 percent of the county’s cannabis farms,” says Second District Supervisor Michelle Bushnell. “My community is screaming that they’re not making it.”

To hear DeLapp tell it, of all the challenges facing local growers, market forces have been the most severe. The bottom line is that the state of California has licensed far more cannabis cultivation than its market can sustain, with the state’s licensed farms producing more than 6 million pounds of cannabis, roughly triple the amount consumed. As a result, wholesale prices have plummeted, particularly for sun-grown cannabis.

While the merits of sun-grown cannabis are sacrosanct in Humboldt County — where people point to its lower carbon footprint and higher percentages of the terpenes that many believe bring enhanced flavors, medical benefits and contribute to an overall entourage effect on potency — the market has been on a different page. According to Cannabis Benchmarks’ U.S. Cannabis Spot Index analysis, almost 65 percent of the cannabis flower sold legally in the U.S. for the week ending Jan. 14 was grown indoors, while only 6 percent was grown outside in the full sun. (The balance was grown in

mixed-light or light-deprivation greenhouses.) This poses a disquieting trend in Humboldt County, where 95 percent of licensed farms are sun-grown or use light-deprivation greenhouses.

The combination of industry-wide overproduction and consumer preference has sent the aggregate wholesale price of outdoor cannabis cratering, falling from up to $1,000 a pound around this time last year to less than $500 a pound currently.

And that’s for farmers who can actually get their product sold, which DeLapp says is no longer a given.

DeLapp says the problem really dates back to late 2020, when local farms harvested their crops in October and November. Typically, she says, the market contracts a bit in December, January and February, when the glut of fall harvests begins to ease, pushing prices up and giving farmers a second chance to move their product. But that didn’t happen in the first months of 2021, she says, as other regions already had fresh 2021 harvests coming to market. Local farmers started seeing their product sit with distributors, who were unable to move it to retailers, who preferred the fresh buds just making it to market.

“A lot of the 2020 weed got returned to farmers because they just couldn’t sell it,” DeLapp says, adding that continued overproduction — much of it coming from the southern parts of the state — led to a “price collapse” in June and July. “We’re now looking at two harvest cycles locally with very, very reduced income.”

DeLapp says local farmers have also had to navigate the same supply chain disruptions and labor challenges as other industries through the COVID-19 pan-

demic, but have had to do so without the federal aid and loans that have kept many small businesses afloat. Meanwhile, she says, state and local licensing fees and taxes haven’t relented.

On the tax front, local growers face a state cultivation tax of $161 per pound on their harvest, regardless of whether it is sold or not, as well as the Measure S levy of $1, $2 or $3 per square foot of cultivated land for outdoor, mixed light and indoor farms, respectively, meaning a 10,000-square-foot outdoor grow would face a local annual tax bill of $10,000, while an indoor grow of the same size would face a levy of $30,000.

The bottom line, DeLapp says, is most local farms are on the brink of insolvency.

“The landscape right now is pretty bleak,” she says. “Because of the absolute collapse in the wholesale price of cannabis flower, the price to the farmer is often below the cost of production or maybe, sometimes, right at the break-even point, which means there’s no salary for the farmer. … I haven’t talked to a single farmer who says they’re doing fine, and we have 275 members. We did a survey recently and 88 percent said they are moderately to very unstable. We have members who have branded, packaged flower for sale at local dispensaries that are communicating with me that they’re not even sure they’re going to make it the next two months.”

The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors is well aware of the challenges facing local growers. Back in October, the board gave growers a bit of a tax reprieve, agreeing to allow them to submit late payments on their October 2021 tax bills (Measure S is levied in two annual installments) until May 31. But with the second

R

installments due March 15, growers who put off payment now face their whole tax bill coming due over the span of three months, right at the start of the growing season.

“What’s been created is a balloon payment situation,” DeLapp says, adding that because county permits are tied to tax compliance, more is at stake than simple late fees. “If the farmers cannot pay these taxes in advance of the growing season, then their county permits are in jeopardy, which means state licenses would be in jeopardy.”

But while local farms say they face a potential extinction event few will survive, the county faces looming financial problems of its own.

For the Humboldt County budget, there’s no question Measure S revenues have been a boon, sending more than $47 million into the county’s coffers since its passage in 2016. While that money is pumped into the county’s general fund and not tracked specifically, officials have credited Measure S with helping fund everything from road maintenance to the hiring of additional sheriff’s deputies. (An appellate court ruling last year found the county overstepped in modifying Measure S, opening the door for some growers to apply for refunds and casting future revenue projections in doubt. To date, approximately $200,000 in Measure S payments have been refunded with another $133,000 awaiting approval, according to Deputy Clerk of the board Tracy Damico, who added that roughly another 100 refund applications remain in various stages of processing.)

Coupled with a half-cent sales tax hike (Measure Z) first approved by voters in 2014, Measure S has helped the county increase services while keeping its budget in the black. But the situation is precarious — even without the uncertainty that looms amid outstanding audits and reports from the Auditor-Controller’s Office, which some department heads worry could lead to the county losing grants and federal and state funding streams. The county faces an unfunded pension liability of more than $330 million, according to a budget report from former County Administrative Officer Amy Nilsen, and a seven-year budget forecast prepared in 2018-2019 projected the county’s general fund would face a more than $20 million shortfall in 2024-2025.

And that was obviously before the county approved employee raises earlier this year, which are projected to result in added costs of $3.2 million this year, $16.9 next year and $21.5 million in 2023-2024.

Add that to the law enforcement raises the county approved late last year, which

are projected to cost a combined $17.6 million this year, $20.3 million next year and $23 million in 2023-2024. With two votes, the board of supervisors committed the county to a combined $44.5 million in additional labor costs in 2023-2024 that were not included in the previously forecast shortfall of more than $20 million.

“We felt [the raises] were necessary because we are in crisis,” Bushnell says.

“We don’t have enough employees. Every department needs people. They have openings. And without our county paying a reasonable rate, they can’t attract and retain them.”

Bushnell, who serves with Fifth District Supervisor Steve Madrone on the county’s ad-hoc cannabis committee, has asked the that board hold a Feb. 1 public hearing to discuss the Measure S conundrum and whether the county can afford to throw its cannabis farmers a life line. She says a number of ideas are on the table — everything from staying the course to forgiving the bills of farms operating in the red to a full reprieve — but all of it needs to be weighed in the context of the impact to the county budget and the services it funds, and the reality facing local farmers.

And from where she sits, Bushnell says she believes that even if tax bills are sent, they won’t necessarily be paid. She said the county anticipated receiving $4.2 million in revenue from its October Measure S bills but only received about $2.5 million.

Now, she says the county is preparing to send out approximately $8.5 million in bills that will come due in March.

“My thought process is they’re not going to pay it if they don’t have it, if they can’t buy groceries or pay their mortgages,” she says. “The bottom line is if they don’t have the money — and I don’t believe they do — they’re not going to pay it anyway.”

While DeLapp says she wants to wait to see exactly what options are put on the board’s Feb. 1 agenda before really weighing in on the best course forward, she says Humboldt County’s growers have been clear in what they are asking.

“We are asking the board of supervisors to forgive the Oct. 15 payment, waive the upcoming March 15 payment and then suspend Measure S for the coming year, so we have time to come back with amended cultivation tax that works for farmers and the community,” DeLapp says.

The ask has some, including Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal, on edge.

“I have a huge concern with that,” he says, adding that while he understands the plight facing local growers, Measure S funds have been relied upon to fund services county residents have deemed Continued on next page »

essential. “I don’t know how we can make up the general fund shortfall if we waive Measure S.” Honsal says he imagines Measure Z revenues — which have brought in $11 million to $14 million annually — would have to absorb some of the hit to protect county services, meaning the $4 million or $5 million the county spends on Measure Z funds to outside agencies would likely have to be cut.

The sheriff also questions how big a difference Measure S forgiveness would make for local growers, pointing to the market forces and state tax bills that would remain in place.

“Their biggest liability is not the Measure S taxes, it’s the state taxes, it’s labor costs, it’s compliance costs, it’s all of this other stuff,” he says. “If they’re not making money as a business, it’s not because of Measure S. It’s because the price per pound is too low for them to make ends meet.”

Contraction in the local industry, he says, “is inevitable.”

DeLapp doesn’t disagree that state taxes are more burdensome than Measure S but, she says, they’re also much more difficult to change. Even if growers were able to overcome the entrenched opposition from groups the legalization measure Proposition 64 earmarked to receive the tax revenue, she says the legislative process is slow and wouldn’t bring relief until January of 2023, at the earliest.

The only place the state could move quickly is in changes to its licensing fee, Bushnell says, which could be modified “tomorrow” to reduce fees, or even allow farmers to reduce their fees by reducing the square footage of their farms. But despite meetings with the Department of Cannabis Control and a letter from the board in October, “there’s been no movement,” she says.

But with Measure S, DeLapp says,

county voters gave three county supervisors the power to amend or repeal the measure almost instantly, and that leaves the ball squarely in the board’s court.

“The county is going to have to figure out how to balance its budget anyway,” she says. “Is it going to insist on getting the last golden egg out of the goose before it’s roasted?”

Honsal says he feels for what some cannabis growers are facing, having put so much into becoming compliant and toward the dream of owning a sustainable, licensed farm, only to feel it all slipping away.

“I understand the predicament,” Honsal says, adding that if he were in growers’ shoes he’d probably ask for a reprieve on Measure S, too. “But I wouldn’t be a good advocate as far as a sheriff goes if I didn’t talk about the ramifications, as far as losing this revenue. If [the board] planned for this revenue and budgeted for it, then they have to talk about how they plan to make up the shortfall if it goes away.”

Caught between the reverberating impacts of the “potential collapse” of one of the county’s biggest industries and its already outsized fiscal commitments, Bushnell says the board faces a difficult discussion, adding that a full reprieve on Measure S could lead to hiring freezes, which would undercut a significant part of the rationale for all those recently approved raises.

No matter which way the board ultimately falls on Measure S, Bushnell says the economic reality facing Humboldt is “very scary.”

“Our county is really going to have to tighten our belts everywhere,” she says. l Thadeus Greenson (he/him) is the Journal’s news editor. Reach him at 442-1400, extension 321, or thad@ northcoastjournal.com. Follow him on Twitter @thadeusgreenson.

Bringing back a classic and good fortune for the New Year

By Wendy Chan

hinese New Year is coming up Feb. 1. While we are busy getting the house cleaned up, buying ingredients to make traditional snacks and cooking a feast for family, making almond cookies as gifts is another way to celebrate. Classic almond cookies, round and golden like coins, symbolize good fortune. They are more popular during Chinese New Year, but you can make them all year long.

I didn’t grow up with Chinese American-style almond cookies. The first time I tried them was in the 1980s, when l moved to America. l was working at Chin’s in Eureka, my uncle Ben Chin’s restaurant. The irresistible almond aroma filled the restaurant every time we baked them. The taste was slightly sweet and crunchy, and the little crumbly cookies just melted in my mouth. I was always so proud to bring out the freshly baked cookies to share with the customers. Uncle Ben passed away a few years ago now; I wish we had saved his recipe. I used to watch my aunts and my mom making the dough in the kitchen. Then we girls helped rolling and flattening them with our thumbs, then we brushed them with egg wash and sprinkled them with almond slivers. Later in the 1990s, lard was considered unhealthy and became unpopular with customers, so many restaurants stopped serving them.

Now, thankfully, lard has become popular again. According to researchers, lard has the most monounsaturated fats, aka “good fat.” This type of fat is more slowly digested by the human body than polyunsaturated fats, is associated with decreased risk of heart disease and may even help to lower “bad” LDL cholesterol

You can buy it ready to use but I love rendering lard from cuts of fresh, local pork fat from my butcher. l was determined to make my own almond cookies based on those early memories from Chin’s but with a new twist: I tried them with lard and duck fat, lard and butter, lard and shortening, then with regular flour, cake flour and almond flour, with granulated sugar and powdered sugar. The textures were all slightly different but still good. So, l asked friends and family to test them, and they helped determine which recipe was the winner. When l saw the happy smiles on my aunts’ faces after tasting the last batch, I knew my mission was accomplished. One aunt grinned and said, “Our almond cookies, saved by Wendy!”

I laughed.

Here is my final recipe after feedback from my tasters. I hope you find these cookies enjoyable to make and share them with family and friends.

Classic Almond Cookies These are crispy and a little crumbly, perfect with a cup of tea.

Makes 24 to 30 cookies.

8 ounces homemade lard (or 6 ounces lard plus 2 ounces duck fat) 1 cup powdered sugar 1 small egg 1 teaspoon almond extract

teaspoon yellow food coloring (optional) 1 ¾ cup cake flour ¼ cup almond flour ½ teaspoon baking soda Pinch of salt ¼ cup sliced raw almonds 1 egg yolk for brushing In a large mixing bowl, with a hand mixer, beat the lard and sugar until creamy. Add the egg, almond extract and food coloring, if using, and beat until combined.

Sift in the cake four, almond flour, salt and baking soda. Use a spatula, fold and mix all ingredients until combined. Do not over-mix. Cover and chill the dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

Heat the oven to 350 F. Take the dough out and divide it into 24 to 30 pieces. Roll each piece between your palms to form a small ball.

Place the balls of dough on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving 2 inches of space between each cookie. Use your thumb to make an indentation on each cookie. Brush the tops with the egg yolk and place a few slices of almond in the center of each one.

Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until golden.

Cool for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve with a cup of tea. l You can find Home Cooking with Wendy Chan (she/her) classes benefitting local charities on Facebook.

Samoa Sidestep

A dune trail with history, off-roaders and breathtaking views

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Jan. 27, 2022 • northcoastjournal.com

n Samoa Road there is a mile marker that always puts a smile on my face: Hum Co 0. The zero line is across the street from a not-so-secret trail, opposite the Samoa Boat Ramp and campground. A quiet path to the beach is sandwiched between dune restoration, a U.S. Coast Guard station and trails driven by joyous off-road enthusiasts.

The tip of the Samoan peninsula holds a special treat. A large portion of the 300-acre Samoa Dunes Recreation Area is devoted to motorheads. It’s one of a dozen beaches left on the California coast where off-highway vehicles (OHVs) can drive the sands. Adolescents in mohawked helmets learn to navigate their vehicles in a training area before hitting the main trails. Families play follow the leader, parents with motorized ducklings winding their way through grassy dunes.

Although content to spectate, I am a hiker. The spouse and I particularly enjoy the hidden gems like the Sidestep. Although perpendicular to the road normally makes a trail easy to find, this entrance is camouflaged by bushes and less used, as the campground across the road is usually filled with boaters and off-roaders with little interest in hiking. The Sidestep is a path made for us.

We wind through the pedestrian gate to enter a fenced corridor. The path less taken provides glimpses of all Humboldt Bay has to offer. On my left, the former Coast Guard training range is filled with wind-whipped grasses on low dunes lined

by an ancient chain link fence. On my right, Samoa Field is used by paragliders whose colorful chutes float across a vivid blue sky, but not in the intermittent fog that swirled through the dunes. The occasional throaty roar of a cranked up hot rod escapes the adjacent drag strip. Despite of all this, it is a peaceful path with little interruption.

The rusty wisp of fence still standing between me and the airstrip holds a faded warning that the area is closed for habitat restoration. The carpets of blooming greenery contrast with hollows where sand still holds sway. Delicate trackways stitched its borders, a healing habitat amid planes, racers, four-wheelers and a few humble hikers.

The corridor does not wind side to side. Each dune has been conquered by the parallel lines of decayed wire. The remnants of chain link disintegrating into the sands are fascinating — delicate lines tracing their way in and out of sight, eventually falling into ruin. Wires twisted into odd shapes provide sculptural delights along the way; one mangled section presents a plane frozen in freefall.

A crunch underfoot reveals its past as a target range. I investigated a patch of broken skeets. History is never far away, as evidenced by the bunkers built here during World War II. On top of a gentle dune, I turned to see the ghost of a once bustling lumber industry. The bay that fed the mighty timber hunger of a growing nation now hosts a lone sawdust plant that chews up remnants. As I ponder, a

massive ship slides through shining waters.

Commerce still holds some sway.

We continue, undaunted by a prickly bush that has staked a claim to the center of the path, snaking our way along a thin line made by previous hikers. My companion stops to marvel at a massive redwood carcass. Did it grow here centuries ago and is just now reaching the end of its decay?

Or was it storm-tossed this far inland?

Either way, great forces are at foot.

I still can’t see the ocean, but sun, salty air and unseen crashing enthralls us. Our pace quickens as we each strain to be the first to see the waters. And there it is. The Pacific Ocean makes me catch my breath each time I see it. I was the same with Lake Michigan, the Mississippi and the little spring-fed river that I once lived along.

We reach the end of the corridor, where the entrance is clearly visible with “No Vehicle” signs and a pedestrian gate.

A small dip in the sands rises to meet the last line of dunes before giving way to water. We cautiously cross over the vehicle trails, since we can hear them coming but their field of vision is greatly reduced by dunes. Some quick steps and we reach a trail marker set at the edge of tall sea grass. I pin it on my map app, as the trailhead can be easily lost from the beach. I once passed it up and added another mile to our walk. Neither one of us minded.

A scan north and south shows off-roaders’ intersecting tire tracks weaving patterns in the hard sands of the tidal zone.

Some tread marks disappear into the mist as the outgoing tides smooth out others with sweeping arches of surf. We spend a few hours walking lazily, making sure that four-wheelers and dirt bikers can drive through the surf without worrying about running us over. This is their domain and we were happy to share.

We head back to our not-so-secret corridor and zig-zag through the pedestrian gate. The ocean quiets as dunes absorb its roar. The occasional buzzing of a nearby off-roader dips in and out like a stalking mosquito until it, too, falls silent.

We stroll along the path in the afternoon sun, surrounded but alone. We pause to look at the bay and the campground.

The mountains rise behind Eureka, mists mingled with low clouds. We move on reluctantly, hunger now driving us on. Too soon, we’re at the Hum Co 0 marker again.

We climb back into the van, grinning. l Meg Wall-Wild (she/her) is a freelance writer and photographer who loves her books, the dunes of Humboldt, and her husband, not necessarily in that order. When not writing, she pursues adventure in her camper, Nellie Bly. On Instagram @megwallwild.

Coastal Rivers in Need of Rain

By Kenny Priest

I

fishing@northcoastjournal.com t’s been nearly three weeks since we’ve had any measurable precipitation and most of the coastal rivers are now feeling the effects. Other than the main stem Eel and the Mad, which are both in pristine shape, all the rivers are now low, clear and in need of a good blowout. The Smith and Chetco clear the quickest, and have the biggest need for rain. The South Fork Eel and Van Duzen remain fishable, but could use rain. It should be noted that all our rivers are currently holding a good number of winter steelhead. But a few inches of rain will do wonders. Not only will the increased flows allow steelhead to make their way upriver to their spawning tributaries, it will also bring in the fresh fish from the ocean. And there is some positive news on the horizon.

Weather forecasters are predicting a return to wintry weather conditions beginning the first week of February.

Weather outlook According to Eureka’s National Weather Service office, we’re looking at dry conditions the rest of the week.

There is a chance for light rain Sunday but it doesn’t look like it will affect the river levels. There is a pattern change forecast for later next week that continues to show a very promising return of rain.

The Rivers Mad

reports are hard to come by but there are plenty of bank anglers out trying. It will be down to 300 cfs by the weekend.

The Mad is in great shape and loaded with steelhead. Excellent conditions drew plenty of bank anglers and boats over the weekend, and the fishing was good. The river will be in great shape the rest of the week, with steelhead spread out from top to bottom. As of Tuesday, it was right at 8 feet and holding good color. If you’re looking to catch a steelhead, it’s probably your best option.

Main stem Eel

The main stem dropped into shape late last week and is nice and green. It was running at 4,000 cubic feet per second as of Tuesday and should be in great shape through the weekend. There are some steelhead around but the bite isn’t wide open.

South Fork Eel

The South Fork is running at 650 cfs as of Tuesday and getting clearer. At this flow, the spots that hold fish are dwindling. The good news is there are plenty of fish around. You’ll need to be stealthy to be successful. Forecast to be around 500 cfs on the Miranda gauge by Saturday.

Van Duzen

The Van Duzen was down to 400 cfs

by Tuesday and is in great shape. Catch

Smith River

Flows were less than 2,500 cfs on the Jed Smith gauge Tuesday. Fishing has been tough as the river is low, clear and snaggy.

Fishing pressure has been very light as a lot of anglers have moved to other rivers.

There are some fish around but again, you’ll need stealth.

Chetco/Elk/Sixes

The Chetco is now low and clear, but steelhead are still being caught by the handful of local guides still focusing on the river, reports Andy Martin of Wild Rivers Fishing. “Rain expected next week should give fishing a boost,” says Martin.

“A few fish a day are coming in on the afternoon tides, with drift boaters getting a fish or two a day. Flows are down to 1,200 cfs and will drop below 1,000 cfs this weekend. Fishing also has slowed on the Elk, Sixes and lower Rogue.”

The Eureka Chamber Music Series brings world-renowned musicians to Humboldt several times a year, offering audiences the chance to see and hear professionals from near and far play live music in their own backyard, so to speak. Next on this season’s bill are the San Francisco Opera Singers of the Adler Fellowship on Saturday, Jan. 29 at 7:30 p.m. at Calvary Lutheran Church ($40 or season subscription). The group is made up of “tomorrow’s greatest opera talent today,” and will perform a concert of vocal classics and light opera. A second concert with the Adler Fellows happens Sunday, Jan. 30 from noon to 1 p.m. at Arcata Playhouse ($20, $10 students). This performance features an on-stage conversation with the artists afterward.

Masks and proof of COVID-19 vaccination and booster are required for both concerts. Find out more at www.eurekachambermusic.org.

Ferndale Repertory Theatre presents the return of live theater to its stage with the wildly entertaining comedy Noises Off, opening Jan. 27 at 8 p.m. and running weekends through Feb. 20 ($18-$10). You’ve heard of laughing yoga. No? It’s a thing. People get in a room and laugh together because science has proved laughing is healthy in myriad ways. Well, audiences laugh at this play like few others. Like crazy, long, sustained, side-hurting laughter.

Yoga-schmoga. Just sit down in a chair and let Noises Off do all the work. The four-decade-old farce about an ambitious director and his troupe of mediocre actors who blunder from a bad dress rehearsal to a spectacularly disastrous performance is the fun we need right now.

Fun enough to get us back into enclosed spaces — with the required proof of vaccination and proper mask wearing, of course. Grab some dinner at one of Ferndale’s fine dining establishments beforehand and make it a night.

Live footage of our democracy right now.

On Television

The Peacemaker

By John J. Bennett

screens@northcoastjournal.com

I

can’t speak for anyone else — well, maybe I can — but I’ve been watching a lot of television. For most of a lifetime, of course, but especially in, oh, the last two years or so, I’ve been hooked on the thing. By which I refer to episodic television, in case that distinction was unclear.

As glad as I have been to be granted access to first-run movies in abundance via streaming services, the supply has started to become diluted and diminished, much like our collective patience and stability in the face of the ongoing plague. The movie industry continues to struggle to adapt, attempting to predict or influence some sort of return to normal, while continuing to succumb to internal rifts and outmoded thinking. And so, for no good reason, we find ourselves lumbering into the traditional down-season of movie distribution. The fields aren’t exactly fallow but it takes more wandering to find sustenance.

Which is only one excuse to turn to television — maybe not even an excuse.

It’s become almost an aphorism that movies are the domain of the director, while television is a writer’s medium. For some time, I bristled at the distinction, arguing the visual execution of prestige TV often outstrips most theatrical releases. But, as time wears on, I realize I was missing the point, or at least only acknowledging a part of it. The American cinematic-industrial complex has all

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Jan. 27, 2022 • northcoastjournal.com

but pushed the writers out of the room, if not slammed the door behind them.

Dominated by sequel-able intellectual properties, writing for the studios is now less about imagination than ensuring market-share — empire, essentially.

Writers of insight and passion still toil in the shadows, and a few writer-directors in the old mold still manage to ply their trade, but the machine has become a juggernaut designed not to communicate ideas but to give the audience more of what they are supposed to want.

It could quite fairly be said this is nostalgia for the ’90s, but even as I lament the transitional death of independent cinema, I’m watching some pretty goddamn mainstream television and seeing more creative DNA in it than in the majority of movies that make it to the big screen. And, ironically or not, much of it is about empire, greed and division. It’s almost like television is a better reflection of culture than movies. Huh. Writers and commentators in every sector have worn their fingers to their nubs with hot takes on the first two shows we’ve stormed through recently, so I’ll only briefly mention Yellowstone (Paramount, Peacock) and Succession (HBO), the great twinned ogres of the American Dream writ nasty. The former, created by Taylor Sheridan (Wind River, 2017), whose work I’ve long espoused, is a pulpy, bristling soap opera/action-Western about a vicious Montana ranching family working

mightily to protect their vast land holding against all comers. The latter, a thinly veiled, thoroughly brutal satire about a terrible family defending their global media empire, is the brainchild of Jesse Armstrong (Four Lions, 2010).

The two shows could hardly be more different in tone or style, but each is a tribute to the joys of good writing for screen, filled with ripe dialogue, devious character turns and multi-season story arcs. And each has found, in presentation for the small screen, budget enough to create a cinematic landscape against which the storytelling can take place.

These shows look like movies and are so loaded with character and story that, with a few minor exceptions, they feel like movies delivered episodically. They also, both troublingly and satisfyingly, examine American greed and exceptionalism with terrific nuance, with an unsparing even-handedness. The fact that each is about a rarefied segment of culture that willfully ignores the other speaks volumes to their topicality in the moment.

The Righteous Gemstones (HBO), a product of the cracked genius of Danny McBride and company, is also about American Empire, albeit with a goofier, even cartoonish delivery. The titular Gemstones, a family of vastly wealthy Christian televangelists based in South Carolina, are a band of infighting hypocrites with as many problems as parishioners. While father Eli (John Goodman) struggles to control his dynasty, his offspring, Jesse (McBride), Judy (Edi Patterson) and Kelvin (Adam Devine), each more ridiculous than the last, run amok with their own ideas of how things should be. There are kidnappings, blackmail and murders to further complicate things.

The outlier in this bunch, The Peacemaker (HBO), came as a surprise. I enjoyed James Gunn’s rethinking of The Suicide Squad last year and was cautiously optimistic when I learned that he would be developing a spin-off series for John Cena’s eponymous character.

I’ve said a lot about the shortcomings of comic franchises and intellectual property, it’s true. And so perhaps it is appropriately hypocritical of me to endorse this, a hyper-violent, richly funny comic book story that transcends some of the conventions of its origins.

Also, season 15 of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (FX, Hulu) has arrived and it is still the most consistently funny thing going. l John J. Bennett (he/him) is a movie nerd who loves a good car chase.

PR2200008 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of KAREN JOY A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Petitioner MICHAEL JOY In the Superior Court of California, County of Humboldt. The petition for probate requests that MICHAEL JOY be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests the dece− dent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for exami− nation in the file kept by court.

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 17, 2022 at 1:31 p.m. at the Superior Court of California, County of Humboldt, 825 Fifth Street, Eureka, in Dept.: 6, Room: 6 For information on how to appear remotely for your hearing, please visit https://www.humboldt.courts. ca.gov/ 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.
