Editor: I can’t fully express my shock and disappointment at Karen Paz-Dominguez’s video response to the Board of Supervisors’ 5-0 vote to censure her for harassment/bullying of her staff (“A Symbolic Censure,” April 7). Two investigations (in 2018 and 2022) into 10 separate complaints of bullying/harassment by Paz-Dominguez sustained all 10 allegations. Her response was to publicly mock and belittle employees, thus continuing the behavior sustained in the investigations.

I am a retired county department head who began county service as a legal office assistant. As someone who worked her way up from entry level to leading a team of employees, my primary and most sacred duty was fostering an environment where people felt safe and valued. It creates a high performing workplace where people do their best work, particularly in times of short staffing and slim budgets.

It deeply saddens me to watch an elected official publicly demean and dismiss the complaints of those who risk retaliation, and potentially their careers, to step forward. It displays a lack of leadership. It does not foster an environment where people want to work and are able to give their best.

We should expect more from our elected leaders. No one should be allowed to treat public servants with such disrespect.

Local government employs our friends, neighbors and our family members who work hard to provide important services.

I am angry at the discourse that characterizes this part of our community as lazy, on-the-take or uncaring. Our county

employees deserve our appreciation, not humiliation from politicians.

‘Someone Special’ Editor: Because I live in the rural wilds of Humboldt, I don’t get to read every Journal. It was only by chance that I picked up the March 31 issue and read Pat Bitton’s tribute to Joan Schirle (“Reflections on Joan Schirle’s World”). To say I was overwhelmed with loss and sorrow is an understatement.

I hadn’t even known she was ill.

I met Joan when I worked for Dell’Arte ever so many years ago. Though I had dabbled in theater, my position at Dell’Arte was administrative. That did not stop me from being in awe of the artistic talent of the founding members. But, beyond her theatrical talent and vision, Joan was someone special. Over the years she has stayed in my heart and mind as an icon of what a woman of integrity and vision should be. Not that she was perfect or a saint, she was as human as all of us and sometimes difficult to work with. But, that’s what made her stand out to me. In the midst of broken, vulnerable humanness she was present for her own life and for those she encountered.

I never told her how much she influenced me, nor how much of a role model she was, nor how she was one of those people that just knowing she was in the world was a comfort to me. Lesson learned, don’t be shy, tell people how much they mean to you, even if you think they hardly remember you.

Thanks, Joan for being who you are, your passing is a tremendous loss for Continued on page 7 »

‘Live Small, Use Less’ Editor: We inhabit a closed system with finite natural resources called planet earth (Mailbox, April 7). This implies that there are limits to growth, and we are rapidly approaching the point of no return. As we move forward in our efforts to mitigate the effects of climate change, we are being called upon to be realistic in our problem-solving. We can no longer keep extracting resources from an already exhausted system. To ensure the survival of all species, the choices humans make will either maintain homeostasis for all or catapult the earth into overshoot.

In my estimation, every concept presented as a solution has embedded implications for increased extraction and imbalance in fragile ecosystems. We humans are living on borrowed time. Throughout history, our species has managed to colonize every habitable wildland that supports life-sustaining ecologies. In the process of our evolution, we have caused unprecedented species extinction. In our relentless drive to “grow the economy,” we do the planet irreparable harm. And that is the conundrum. How do we reasonably provide for almost 8 billion humans without destroying the planet?

The solution for me is to live small, use less, making wise decisions about how and what we consume. I seldom read or hear about the idea of lowering our standard of living as a solution. What I primarily hear is talk about transitioning to renewables and green technology. The issue I have with this solution is that it creates more problems. To make that transition, we need to extract more resources to build the infrastructure supporting these systems.

And that has the unintended consequence of both increased resource depletion and species extinction.

Living small slows down the impact we have on this tired earth. It means taking care of what we currently have, living within our means and pausing to think

critically about the choices we make. We need to be transparent, asking ourselves, “Just because we can, should we?” A quote

by Wendell Barry succinctly expresses how I feel in this moment of existential crisis: “To damage the earth is to damage your children.”

‘Earth on Top’

Write a Letter!

Editor: In Arcata, volunteers are circulating petitions to place an initiative on the November ballot, requiring the city of Arcata to fly the Earth flag at the top of all city-owned flagpoles, above the U.S. and California flags. We have about 1,300 signatures but need several hundred more.

Questions we’ve been asked: Isn’t this just symbolic? Yes, it is symbolic. Flags are symbols. We must prioritize the health of the Earth over nationalism.

Why bother with this effort when there are so many other important causes? We can support both this and other causes.

What about the Flag Code? The Code is purely advisory.

If you support this project, please look for volunteers and sign the petition, or drop by Solutions, on the Plaza in Arcata at 858 G St., to sign.

Vote McLaughlin Editor: Experience matters.

It’s rare to vote for a new judge in Humboldt. In this election the experienced candidate is Ben McLaughlin. Ben knows the law backwards and forwards.

McLaughlin, like most judges, is a former prosecutor, with seven years as a deputy district attorney. But Ben McLaughlin also worked five years as a pblic defender.

This makes McLaughlin the more qualified candidate for judge. Along with years in private practice, Ben’s 23 years of jurisprudence far outpaces his opponent. His stellar record in more than 100 jury trials, earned McLaughlin the endorsements of those who worked with him, like retired Arcata and Eureka police chiefs Chapman and Watson, Fortuna City Councilmember and retired law enforcement officer Mike Losey, former DA Paul Gallegos and Humboldt County Public Defender Luke Brownfield.

Tested experience in court and demonstrated respect for the judicial process for all parties is why we need Ben Mclaughlin as judge.

Coastal Commission Moves Offshore Wind Forward

How offshore wind works. BOEM

As process advances into site studies, commission pushes ‘adaptive management on steroids’

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

T

he California Coastal Commission voted unanimously April 7 to conditionally concur with a federal determination that allowing energy companies and organizations to study a proposed offshore wind farm area on the Humboldt County coast is consistent with the state’s Coastal Management Program.

The highly technical and bureaucratic vote clears the way for companies interested in purchasing federal leases to erect large, floating offshore wind turbines to generate renewable electricity off the coast to begin studying and assessing the project site.

Known as the Humboldt Wind Energy Area, the site 21 miles off Humboldt Bay spans 132,000 acres, in which the federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) plans to sell up to three leases in an auction process slated to begin in the fall.

The commission’s vote does not approve the wind farms or the start of any construction activities — all of which would come back before the commission in the future for further review — just lease exploration activities, like site characterization and assessment. Those activities will likely include additional boat trips out to the area — nearly 500 estimated over a three-year period — and the installation of up to three buoys outfitted with scientific sampling equipment.

But commission staff made clear in its report and presentation to the commission that while BOEM believes it is premature to analyze the full scope of environmental impacts of turning a swath of ocean waters off Humboldt Bay into a wind farm, such a transformation is a “reasonably foresee-

able” result of the April 7 vote, so should be considered to the extent possible. Further, commission staff explained this consistency determination was a chance to lay a foundation for the commission’s role in the process moving forward as the state and federal governments continue to push for a more sustainable energy grid.

To that end, staff recommended — and the commission approved — seven conditions aimed at mitigating environmental impacts of the site study work, keeping stakeholders involved in the discussion and gathering relevant data.

Specifically, the commission approved the following seven conditions: Condition 1 requires BOEM to work with commission staff to ensure that lessees’ survey, sampling and analysis plans are coordinated to minimize impacts to coastal resources.

Condition 2 requires lessees to avoid “intentional contact” with hard substrate, rock outcroppings, seamounts of deep-sea coral/ sponge habitats, all of which are critical for the region’s biodiversity.

Condition 3 requires vessels conducting site research not exceed a speed of 10 knots to avoid unintentional strikes of sea mammals.

Condition 4 requires BOEM to ensure commercial fishing vessels safe navigation through the lease areas.

Conditions 5 and 6 require engagement with environmental justice communities and Native communities on site assessment and construction and operations plans.

Condition 7 requires lessees to have an independent fisheries liaison to work with the commercial fishing community to make

sure site assessment activities don’t conflict with local fisheries.

The overwhelming sentiment of the commissioners was that staff had done an “excellent” job of working with stakeholders and across state and federal agencies to produce a report and recommendations that both properly assessed impacts of the site exploration activities and also set the table for future conversations, all while working under very tight timelines. The final product is “foundational,” commissioners said, representing a “whole of government” approach to evaluating offshore wind.

“California is not only a leader in clean energy in the world, we are a leader in our coastal, wildlife and marine protection, particularly for biodiversity,” Commission Chair Donne Brownsey said. “I think that this is a good start in showing that those two really important goals can be balanced and really work together. I do think that’s where we’re starting and I hope that’s where we can end.”

Perhaps underscoring commissioners’ high praise of staff’s work on its report and recommendations is that they were praised by both environmental and industry groups weighing in on the issue, as well as BOEM. During her staff report on the subject, Commission Deputy Director of Energy, Ocean Resources and Federal Consistency Kate Huckelbridge noted there are a lot of unknowns with deep-water, floating offshore wind farms but made clear there will be environmental impacts.

“There’s no free lunch,” she said, explaining there will be “tradeoffs” as the state works to triple its clean energy production in the coming decades to achieve the goal of Continued on next page » northcoastjournal.com • Thursday, April 14, 2022 • NORTH COAST JOURNAL

NEWS Continued from previous page

carbon neutrality by 2045.

Moving forward in the process, Huckelbridge said data collection and “adaptive management” will be crucial components, saying plainly the full-scale impacts of an offshore wind farm on the Pacific Coast won’t be clear until “projects are in the water and we are able to monitor and measure the effects.”

But, Huckelbridge said, the potential impacts of such a project are potentially widespread and would include habitat disturbance, turbine strikes of birds, equipment entanglement of whales and other marine mammals, species displacement, vessel strikes, underwater sound, invasive species and electromagnetic fields. Further, she said the project site includes areas of sensitive habitats that are important for biodiversity, including hard substrate habitats, rocky ridges and sea mounds, as well as deep corals and sponges, all of which might be impacted by the anchoring and mooring of the floating turbine platforms.

Later in the meeting, Huckelbridge noted that commission staff will be working with BOEM to research monitoring programs and technologies as this project moves forward, noting that there are unique challenges associated with carefully documenting impacts that are occurring 21 miles off shore, including those nearly a half-mile under the ocean’s surface.

“That’s a challenge when you’re that far out in the ocean,” she said. “People aren’t out there.”

Commissioner Carly Hart said getting the monitoring and mitigation aspects of the project right are crucial, noting that we face “a biodiversity crisis that’s running parallel to a climate crisis.”

Commissioner Mark Gold said the monitoring that will ultimately be required with the project will be “extraordinary,” noting that there are only 11 of these deep-water floating turbines in the world — stopping to make sure everyone understood he meant 11 turbines, not 11 farms. Doing it successfully, he said, is going to take “adaptive management on steroids.”

“I’ve never seen the coastal commission deal with a project of this scope and scale,” he said, complementing staff on their work.

In his comments at the meeting, Humboldt County Third District Supervisor and Commissioner Mike Wilson underscored that this project could have profound impacts on Humboldt County.

Wilson said that while Humboldt County has a population of just about 140,000 people spread across 4 million acres of land, he noted Humboldt Bay’s outside importance, explaining about 85 percent of the county population lives in communities around the bay. The impacts of this project will be profound, he said, noting these turbines will stand almost 900 feet tall and appear as

10

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, April 14, 2022 • northcoastjournal.com

virtual behemoths that will be serviced or built on Humboldt Bay. “These structures will be seen from virtually everywhere,” Wilson said, adding the project will undoubtedly bring changes to Humboldt’s natural, cultural and economic ecosystems.

Some of those impacts are exciting, Rob Holmlund, development director for the Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District, told the commission.

Holmlund noted that phase 1 of the California offshore wind leases just opens up the areas off Humboldt and Moro bays for farms producing 1.6 and 3.0 gigawatts of electricity, respectively. But plans are in the works to open others, including 6.2 gigawatts of leases off the Mendocino County coast and 6.6 gigawatts of leases in the waters off Del Norte County.

That, coupled with Humboldt Bay’s unique characteristics — being both a deep-water port with unbridged access that would allow passage of structures more than 500 feet tall in and out of the bay — makes Humboldt well suited to potentially become a manufacturing and maintenance hub for these new turbines, which Holmlund said can be “towed very long distances” to their eventual sites. This could put Humboldt County at the forefront of the state’s new “green economy.”

Another thing commissioners and staff repeatedly underscored is the need for all involved with the potential leasing project to work closely with tribes on the North Coast, with Huckelbridge saying it’s “imperative” they benefit. She noted the project’s requirement for the hiring of a tribal liaison to work with the tribes and companies awarded leases, but said that process should focus on “issues of interest to the tribe, not just impacts to cultural resources.”

While many of his commission colleagues spoke effusively about the prospects of offshore wind and the urgency of the moment, Wilson’s comments were more measured, pointing out the need to mitigate negative impacts where possible and come to the table with community benefit agreements that lift up interests that face impacts that ultimately cannot be mitigated.

“We have a community leaning into this — we feel a community and a global responsibility to be a part of this effort to address climate change,” Wilson said, quickly adding that the community’s feet are also “firmly planted” in working to minimize potential negative impacts. “No one is going to roll over us on this. We are taking this really serious.” l Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor. Reach him at 442-1400, extension 321, or thad@northcoastjournal.com. Follow him on Twitter @thadeusgreenson.

‘Our Rightful Place’

The Yurok Tribe reopens Chah-pekw O’ Ket’-toh Visitor Center under historic deal with state

By Carly Wipf

newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

O

n April 7, the Yurok Tribe reopened Chah-pekw O’ Ket’-toh (Stone Lagoon) Visitor Center in a historic ribbon-cutting ceremony, the event marking an unprecedented agreement between California State Parks, Parks California, Redwood National Park and the Yurok Tribe.

For the first time in state history, a tribe has been put in charge of operating a stateowned visitor center under an agreement that will see the tribe inform tourists about local history from an Indigenous perspective.

“It’s a proud day for the Yurok Tribe in setting the stage for how the state of California should work with Indigenous tribes,” said Yurok Tribal Chair Joseph James. “It’s a celebration of the Stone Lagoon Visitor Center, but it’s even more than that, too. … We’re getting back to balance and becoming whole and being able to tell our story here in Yurok Country in Chah-pekw village. It’s a beautiful day, it’s a bright day and I look forward to our partnership here moving forward.”

Attendees celebrated in the sunshine, some taking a canoe out for a ride on the sparkling lagoon and others enjoying massive portions of salmon cooked over an open fire. Walt Lara, a Yurok tribal member from Cha-pekw, snipped the ribbon to officially reopen the center in front of more than 150 tribal and state park officials. He was flanked

by James, Yurok Tribal Councilmember Mindy Natt, Yurok Tribal Councilmember Sherri Provolt and California State Parks North Coast Redwoods District Superintendent Victor Bjelajac.

“The lagoon knows me, the ocean knows me, the beach and all the land here knows me and I know it very well,” Lara said before the ribbon-cutting. “On behalf of all my ancestors and my family, we want to welcome you here to this place.”

The reimagined visitor center includes access to Yurok interpreters and displays that discuss the tribe’s connection to the

lagoon. The center will also host a variety of cultural activities, including canoe-making, basket-making and storytelling events. It was originally slated to reopen last year, but the COVID-19 pandemic caused a delay.

Rosie Clayburn, the Yurok Tribe’s heritage preservation officer, told the Journal the center gives the tribe the opportunity to change the narrative surrounding Indigenous lands. Clayburn said many “great” archeological or government projects were desecrating to tribal people. She hopes the center will educate both tourists and locals about how much repatriation of artifacts and restoration of culture means to the tribe.

“Chah-pekw O’ Ket’-toh, as we call it, Stone Lagoon is a significant place for Yurok people: It’s a place of ceremony, it’s a place of descendants who still have close ties to this village and come from here,” Clayburn said. “Visitor centers in the state parks or visitor centers in general that aren’t tribally operated don’t tell the true story and they don’t tell it from our perspective. Now we’re able to do that.”

Stone Lagoon sits on the tribe’s ancestral territory. The 2-mile-long body of water played a critical role in World Renewal Ceremony dances that were outlawed in the 1800s by the U.S. government in a failed attempt to smother Native American religious practices.

In 2012, Yurok leaders restored a Jump Dance and a Boat Dance — both part of the World Renewal Ceremony — at Chah-pekw.

The ceremony begins on a boat in the lagoon and ends on park land. The jump dance helps bring balance to the world, according to James.

The tribe continues cultural preservation efforts through educational programs, language programs and protecting sacred species, such as the California condor (Preygo-neesh in Yurok). Speakers at the event celebrated the fact that later this month the Yurok Tribe and Redwood National Park will release four condors into the North Coast

skies. The flock will be the first of the critically-endangered species to fly the region since the late 1800s.

Yurok families lived in Chah-pekw and Cho-kwee villages near the Stone Lagoon for generations before European settlers came to the area during the Gold Rush and began killing and displacing indigenous peoples. Despite this, the Yurok persisted and descendants of these villagers are still here today, including Provolt, who was instrumental in helping the visitor center reopen under tribal control.

“It feels really good to regain our rightful place as the primary caretaker of Chah-pekw O’ Ket’-toh,” Provolt said. “I know our ancestors would be proud that we are making positive change for future generations of Yurok people and Natives throughout the state.”

Bjelajac said it is important for government officials and agencies to acknowledge where they have gone wrong in the past, citing Gov. Gavin Newsom’s historic 2019 apology to Indigenous people in California for government-led genocide and forced acculturation. Especially in light of these historic wrongs, Bjelajac said he hopes positive government-tribal relationships continue.

“I hope public land managers from all over California and the entire U.S. use the partnership between the state park and the [Yurok] tribe as a blueprint to build solid working relationships with sovereign tribal nations in their regions,” Bjelajac said in a press release. “Our partnership on the visitor center, renaming of Sue-meg State Park and condor restoration projects are only the beginning. I know we will embark on many more equally exciting endeavors in the not so distant future.”l Carly Wipf (she/her) is a freelance reporter based in Eureka See more photos at www.northcoastjournal.com. northcoastjournal.com • Thursday, April 14, 2022 • NORTH COAST JOURNAL

Third Student Comes Forward in Fortuna Molestation Case

A

nother Fortuna High School student has come forward to make allegations against the math teacher arrested April 6 on suspicion of sexually assaulting two students.

Gary Landergen, who’d returned to Fortuna High School this year, where he’d previously taught in the 1990s before leaving for Argonaut High School in Amador County, was arrested on a Ramey warrant after “at least two students” came forward to report they had been the victim of “inappropriate and unwelcome groping and/or fondling by Landergen,” according to a press release. Fortuna police detectives have also located witnesses who independently “observed some of the alleged misconduct,” according to the release.

Fortuna Police Chief Casey Day told the Journal a third student came forward to police late April 7 and recounted “multiple conversations” the student found uncomfortable and inappropriate.

“They were conversations that related to specific body parts and specific outfits,” Day said, adding that police are not “referring to the student as a victim as of yet” and the investigation remains very much active.

groped their child. Day said detectives worked quickly to try to corroborate the allegation, soon finding another alleged victim and independent witnesses. Day said police then sought a Ramey warrant for Landergen’s arrest in an effort to bring him into custody quickly, adding that the warrant was executed the afternoon of April 6, soon after it was signed by a Humboldt County Superior Court judge.

Landergen was booked into the Humboldt County jail on suspicion of molesting a minor and sexual battery, and was released after posting bail. Humboldt County District Attorney Maggie Fleming said a charging decision in the case has not yet been made, as her office is still working to review the April 8 police report it received in the case. Fleming said Landergen was given an arraignment date of May 25 in the case when he posted bail and was released from custody.

The Fortuna Union High School District sent out an automated call to parents at about 10:30 a.m. April 7 notifying them a teacher had been arrested. But the call did not identify the teacher or the nature of the allegations against him, and came some 20 hours after police took Landergen into custody, which some parents felt was an inadequate response. Parents of children on the track and field team, for which Landergen is a coach, said they were frustrated not to receive additional outreach, with

Gary Landergen one noting they “should have been made aware of it long before it hit social media,” adding that after learning of the news, they had to wait almost a full day to speak with their child about it.

Calls and an email placed to Fortuna Union School District Superintendent Glen Senestraro seeking comment on the situation were not returned.

According the FPD press release, Landergen was placed on administrative leave by the district “just prior to his arrest.” Day said the district has been fully cooperative and collaborative with the investigation from the beginning.

Landergen agreed to be interviewed by officers during the investigation, Day said, though he declined to release details of Landergen’s statements “due to the ongoing investigation.”

Day said the investigation remains very active, with detectives working to find any other potential victims, adding he directed

Murder Arrest: Austin Michael Medeiros, 27, of Rhode Island, was arrested on a murder warrant April 10 in Santa Cruz, according to the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office. The arrest came eight days after 28-year-old Emily Rose May Lobba was found dead in her Kneeland home. Lobba’s death was ruled a homicide and the sheriff’s office quickly identified Medeiros as a suspect in the case.

Crab Season Closed: The California Department of Fish and Wildlife is closing the commercial Dungeness crab season statewide due to “assessed entanglement risk,” with the North Coast season now ending at noon April 20. The move came after the department received reports of additional humpback whale entanglements and decided to move quickly to protect migrating humpback whales that are just starting to return to California’s waters.

Parallel Crises

Humboldt desperately needs housing but how it’s built may determine the county’s role in combating climate change

By Elaine Weinreb

newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

I

f you’ve tried to find housing in the last few years, you know what a difficult task it is. Humboldt County property managers say local rental vacancy rates run between 0 and 3 percent — extreme, even in California, which has a roughly 4-percent vacancy rate statewide.

Buying a home in Humboldt is also cost-prohibitive for most people, with the median price for a single-family home coming in at $451,000, according to statistics published by the California Association of Realtors. Homes for sale in Humboldt also only stay on the market for an average of 12 days before they are snapped up, another indication of a significant housing shortage.

The reasons are multiple and include climate and wildfire refugees, as well people fleeing the city since COVID-19 enabled people to work from home. But the underlying issue is that demand for housing has outstripped the supply. The obvious answer is to build more housing, but that is a lot harder and more complicated than it seems.

14

“California housing has become the most expensive in the nation,” states the preamble to Senate Bill 9, the Affordable Housing Act. “The excessive cost of the state’s housing supply is partially caused by activities and policies of many local governments that limit the approval of housing, increase the cost of land for housing, and require that high fees and exactions be paid by producers of housing.”

The state has stepped in with both sticks and carrots to get communities to increase their housing stocks. One such law is Senate Bill 9, which basically does away with single-family zoning. Under S.B. 9, property owners need only get a simple ministerial building permit to add a second home on their lot. Each of these two homes can also have an additional “granny flat” or be divided into duplexes, resulting in four housing units on a lot zoned for single-family use. Some California cities have resisted what they believe to be an illegal incursion into local control and are filing suit against the state for violating the Califor-

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, April 14, 2022 • northcoastjournal.com

nia Constitution’s legal designation for charter cities.

Several cities in the San Francisco Bay Area, meanwhile, have reported that almost no landowners are taking advantage of these loosened restrictions. Here in Humboldt, County Planning Director John Ford reported that his department had seen an “uptick” in building permits for accessory dwelling units but was not specific as to the numbers. Likewise, Eureka City Manager Miles Slattery expects there will be an increase in people wanting to increase the housing density on their properties because it will increase their value.

City and county planners are familiar with the state’s Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA, pronounced ree-na).

In 2019, the California Department of Housing and Community Development presented each individual county with a requirement to build a certain number of new housing units by 2027. While the state cannot require the county or city to actually construct or pay for the units, it establishes that local governments

cannot prohibit such building through restrictive zoning codes, and requires they change their codes, if necessary.

These code changes are supposed to be reflected in the Housing Element of the county or city’s General Plan.

It is not easy to determine how the state comes up with RHNA numbers for each locality, but, according to Humboldt County Association of Governments (HCAOG) Senior Planner Oona Smith, it is a formula based on census population data and on the number of jobs a region offers.

The state wants 3,390 new housing units built in Humboldt by 2027.

Of these, 829 must be affordable for very low-income households, 532 for low income, 613 for moderate income and the rest for above average income households. The figures are further broken down by HCAOG into allocations for the seven incorporated cities and the unincorporated areas of the county.

These RHNA numbers are supposed to be reflected in the Housing Element of the city or county’s General Plan,

4/20

which must also be updated periodically.

Failure to meet RHNA goals can result in difficulty in obtaining state grants. Compliance gives the jurisdiction “brownie points.”

While there are different definitions of “affordability,” most agencies feel that housing costs should not take up more than a third of a family’s total income.

For a family with a single wage earner, making $60,000 a year, that would be about $1,666 per month.

California, particularly under the Newsom administration, places a strong emphasis upon infill. There are two reasons for this: One is the protection of natural resources; the other is directly associated with climate change. The more miles people drive to work each day, the more emissions from their cars contribute to global warming. If jobs and housing are both available in the same area, theoretically, the number of vehicle miles traveled would be reduced, resulting in fewer greenhouse gas emissions.

In the past, Caltrans’ primary objective was to keep traffic moving, both in towns and on the highways, with as little delay as possible, keeping air pollution to a minimum. Recently, this objective changed to reducing the total number of vehicle miles traveled, hopefully leading to a diminution of greenhouse gases.

Plans for new development are supposed to reflect this transportation goal.

Humboldt has many limitations on where new housing can be built. To meet the RHNA requirements, new housing must be in areas that already have municipal services, such as public water and sewage treatment systems. That eliminates many of the more far-flung regions of the county. The California Coastal Commission limits what can be built near the coast. Forests, floodplains, marshlands and agricultural lands all have various degrees of legal protection. That leaves only one direction — upward.

“The city [of Eureka] is already built out, and that is why we are allowing people to build higher,” said Slattery.

“We are changing the zoning codes to allow higher buildings, and also to allow residential uses in areas where it could not previously happen.”

In recent months, Humboldt residents have considered three different styles of urban development. In Eureka, city officials are considering building affordable housing on city-owned parking lots. This has resulted in pushback from local businesses, who fear that a lack of parking will discourage people from shopping, though Slattery does not think the loss of a few parking lots would harm the

“Primary Opportunity Sites” City of

Arcata’s Gateway Area Plan

city’s business community.

In Arcata, the city wants to re-zone a large swath of formerly industrial land that is now largely vacant and under-utilized. Known as the “Gateway Area Plan,” a variety of buildings of all sizes would be constructed, including some as high as eight stories. Most would be for housing, but retail and light manufacturing would also be permitted. Roadways would be designed to encourage bicycling and walking, and the area would be enhanced by open green spaces.

In the Cutten area, which is under the county’s jurisdiction, an 81-acre tract of land, the North McKay Ranch Project, is planned for a more traditional type of development — with 146 new single-family houses and 174 units in multi-family structures. Municipal services, such as water, sewer and gas lines, would be constructed, making the project eligible to meet RHNA goals. However, this would necessitate the clearing of forestland and is being

opposed by a number of environmental groups, which have threatened to sue the county over it.

Each of these projects has its upsides and downsides. Although the Gateway Project seems to fit in with the environmental goals that many Arcatans espouse, some residents feel it would change Arcata’s small-town rural atmosphere to one of a city, a change they resent.

Additionally, the Arcata Fire Department does not have the equipment to deal with high-rise buildings. Much of the land in Arcata’s Gateway Area was used for industrial sites and may be polluted. Ground pollution can be expensive and difficult to clean up. As an example, a prime piece of Arcata real estate, located near the plaza, has stood empty for decades because after the building it supported burned down, the ground was found to be polluted.

An even more serious problem has to do with sea-level rise. Arcata’s wastewater treatment plant is, by necessity, close to Humboldt Bay, and will be vulnerable to inundation. While the city has plans to increase the capacity of the plant, it has not yet figured out when, where and how to move the facility, as the ocean moves in. Some residents feel Arcata should not be encouraging more growth until this problem is resolved.

Eureka is potentially facing a similar problem. According to Slattery, the city’s wastewater treatment plant has plenty of additional capacity and can easily handle a lot more residential development, but he did not address the threat to the wastewater facility posed by sea level rise.

There are also project-level decisions beyond the questions of building up or

out that determine their impacts on the climate crisis.

The five environmental groups that have threatened to sue the county if it approves the North McKay Ranch Project in Cutten, for example, say the county’s environmental review violates the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The consortium particularly dislikes the project’s reliance on natural gas as an energy source, believing the project should rely entirely on electrical energy, for both health and climate reasons.

In contrast to much of the rest of the state, one issue that will not be a problem when it comes to housing development in Humboldt is drinking water.

In the meantime, while citizens and policymakers hash out their differences, homeless people still camp in gulches and parks, while working-class families wonder what they will do if their landlord converts their home to a vacation rental. Cal Poly Humboldt plans on importing thousands of new students into Arcata and, if plans for an offshore wind farm go forward, massive industrial development could result on the peninsula and in Eureka, resulting in the need for even more housing.

Instead of letting them go to waste

HUMBOLDT

BAY BISTRO

By Simona Carini

onthetable@northcoastjournal.com

F

ood waste — uneaten food (raw or cooked) and food preparation scraps from households, restaurants and grocery stores — is a problem.

As food production requires energy and water and draws nutrients from the land, when the food is wasted, all those resources are wasted, too.

Preventing food waste is within our reach. Awareness is a good start but we can take additional steps. The Zero Waste Humboldt, EPA and CalRecycle websites offer information and resources to help us understand and address the problem of food that is not consumed. They include specific advice — we can take what works for us and adjust other elements to our individual situation. When I go to the farmers market, I balance my enthusiasm for all the beautiful produce on display with the awareness of how much our household can consume and make my purchases accordingly. It’s also good to have plan B for extras. I have go-to recipes for when I see vegetables in the crisper that are starting to look sad — they can still shine as ingredients for a soup or a casserole.

Not wasting food is one of the pillars of the education I received from my parents, who both experienced the food insecurity caused by World War II. For example, we always ate leftovers (that is how I discovered that I liked day-after lettuce salad) and bread that became too dry was turned into breadcrumbs.

We can fill our plates with reasonable amounts of food, clean those plates, and properly store and eat the leftovers. We can also minimize trimmings and, where possible, use them up before discarding them, hopefully to the compost bin. For example, corn cobs, basil and parsley stems, the dark green leaves of leeks and

celery root parings (scrubbed well) are all great additions to the stock pot. (Store them in the freezer until ready to use.)

One way to avoid food waste is using vegetables “leaf to root.” This is particularly easy with root vegetables whose greens are not only edible, but tasty, like beets, radishes and turnips. Chard and beet stalks also make great ingredients (“Charmed by Chard,” July 14, 2016).

During recent visits to the Arcata Plaza farmers market, radishes provided a note of bright color difficult to pass up.

Buying a bunch of radishes is a 2-for-1 deal because the greens are an ingredient in their own right. I separate them from the radishes immediately when I get home and eat them as soon as possible. And, of course, I eat the radishes, too, usually in one of the big salads I make for dinner.

The first thing I ever cooked with radish greens was a frittata, so this is the recipe I am sharing here. It uses the same ingredients I started with years ago but instead of a skillet, I’m using a muffin pan to cook the eggs. The result is small, individual portions that also work nicely as a party offering.

Egg Muffins with Radish Greens Select a cheese that has a little sweetness to it, such as Gouda or sweet cheddar.

Makes 12 muffins, serves 4-6.

3 ounces radish greens (if you are short, add some spinach or baby kale leaves) 1 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil ¼ cup (1 ounce) minced shallot ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt, divided 6 large eggs (preferably pasture raised) 3 tablespoons water

1 ounce cheese Wash and drain the greens. Cut the leaves into ¼-inch strips and chop the stems.

Warm up the olive oil in a skillet on medium. Turn down the heat, add the shallot and stir well. Cook on low until soft (about 8 minutes), stirring often, then add the greens and stir well. Cover and cook the greens until tender (about 8 minutes).

Sprinkle half the sea salt on the greens, stir and set aside.

Heat the oven to 350 F. Line a 12-cup standard muffin pan with large, unbleached paper cups.

In a medium bowl, lightly whisk the eggs until the yolks and whites are just blended. Pour in the water and whisk lightly to incorporate it. Add the rest of the sea salt and whisk briefly.

Grate the cheese. Add the cooked greens to the eggs and stir, then add the cheese and stir.

Using a soup spoon, distribute the egg and vegetable mixture evenly into the paper cups.

Bake 14-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Take the pan out of the oven and carefully slide the muffins onto a plate.

Remove the paper cups (or let the guests do so) and serve immediately.

You can store leftover muffins in the refrigerator and enjoy them the following day at room temperature.l Simona Carini (she/her) also writes about her adventures in the kitchen on her blog www.pulcetta.com and shares photographs on Instagram @ simonacarini.

I

follow more than a few plant and picture pages on social media, and it’s always interesting to see folks wax poetic about some of our more aggressive invasive plants. Often, they (the people) are transplants to the area and these plants aren’t an issue where they come from, but there are also people who just think that Scotch broom is “so so pretty!” Well, yes, it is pretty. I can’t disagree with that, but it’s also taking over hillsides and shoving out many of the native plants. So rather than jump on the less constructive don’t-plant-that-you-doofus wagon, I thought I’d offer up some alternatives to the pretty plants that are taking over just about every area of the county.

Let’s start with Scotch broom (and its cousin, French broom). It’s a noxious invasive that has taken over many areas on the West Coast. It loves acidic soil, which is partly why it’s so successful here on the coast. When it goes to seed, the plant literally bursts open the seed pod with an audible crack, flinging seeds far from the parent plant. But what about those pretty yellow flowers?

Here are a few plants that you can plant instead (not that you’d actually plant Scotch broom, because that would just be crazy): California goldenrod, California gumweed and golden yarrow or yellow yarrow, all of which are native. Another beautiful plant with long-lasting yellow blooms is the forsythia (not a native plant), which you see blooming around town starting in early February, lasting for a couple months if the weather conditions are right.

Let’s talk about knotweed next. It has these beautiful, fluffy, white flowers, usually appearing in July. It was originally planted as erosion control and, girl howdy, was it successful! It was also successful at taking over every other plant that grows near streams. Rather than knotweed, try planting goatsbeard, also known as bride’s feathers. It’s often found in mountainous regions. The flowers are featherlike and grow on leafless branches. Another option is silk tassel. An excellent stand of this

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, April 14, 2022 • northcoastjournal.com

Forsythia, while not native to our area, is still a far better choice for your garden than Scotch broom. Photo by Julia Graham-Whitt native plant can be seen in the landscape of the Humboldt Area Foundation on the Indianola cutoff in Eureka.

Another plant people go on and on about on various Humboldt County Facebook pages is yellow lupine. It’s all over our local beaches and along the roadsides throughout the county, especially heading out toward Samoa and Manilla, as well as along U.S. Highway 101. Rather than this plant, consider planting bigleaf lupine. Sure, it’s not yellow but it has gorgeous stalks of flowers that are deep blue to purple, which is a favorite for pollinators such as native bees, bumblebees and honeybees. Bigleaf lupine is considered invasive in parts of Europe and New Zealand, but, so far, it’s remained a well-behaved plant here on the North Coast. The non-native yellow lupine is so invasive, Friends of the Dunes holds its “Lupine Bash event annually to get at least some of it pulled out. If you need a place to take out your frustrations and irritation, I highly recommend taking part in this festive little event. I believe it was on hold due to COVID but watch for more upcoming Bashes on FOD’s page www. friendsofthedunes.org.

Next up is one of my top plants I would eradicate if I could but I cannot because I am only one mere human: pampas grass.

Gah. It’s taking over the hills, dunes and beaches. It will also easily and quickly take over disturbed areas, such as a wildfire or a clear-cut (there’s a small example on Elk River Road). Rather than this noxious invasive, consider planting Pacific Reedgrass, aka Nootka Reedgrass, which is native to our area. It also prefers coastal areas, dunes, coastal woodlands and riparian areas.

Another lovely native grass is tufted hair grass. This grass closely resembles

pampas grass in the blooming stalks. It also tolerates shady areas.

Another showy invasive I always beg clients to yank out when it’s young is cotoneaster. It has deep green leaves and clusters of red berries that birds find very appealing, which is why they are easily spread everywhere. Everywhere. They have a nasty taproot once they get established, and it’s quite difficult to pull out, even as a wee plant. Please don’t plant these and if you have them in your landscape, rip them out. Alternatives to these pretty red berry plants include: California coffeberry, cascara, bearberry, currant and gooseberry (the last two produce edible fruits, so that’s a bonus).

These are just a few of the alternatives to invasive species here on the North Coast. As luck would have it, the California Native Plant Society is about to hold one of its annual sales. The spring event will be held on Saturday, April 30, and Sunday, May 1 at Freshwater Farms Reserve (5851 Myrtle Ave., Eureka). You need to sign up in advance so that there won’t be too many people crowded into the area all at once. You can sign up for a slot at www. northcoastcnps.org. Find more native species at the Humboldt Botanical Garden plant sale May 7 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. (the May 6 preview from 3 to 7 p.m. is for members only).

FISHING THE NORTH COAST

Generous Ocean King Season Set to Open May 1

341 West Harris St., Eureka 707 445-3138

W

ith a strong ocean abundance of Sacramento salmon and the Klamath numbers trending upward, North Coast sport salmon anglers were rewarded with a generous ocean salmon season. The season within the CA KMZ (Klamath Management Zone), which was adopted by the Pacific Fishery Management Council Monday, will open May 1 and run through May 31. It will reopen Aug. 1 and run through Sept.

5. June and July will be closed within the CA KMZ to mitigate impacts on the fall Klamath River kings, which continue to struggle. Fishing will be allowed seven days per week for all salmon except coho, with a limit of two fish per day and a minimum size of 20 inches total length for Chinook.

In the Fort Bragg sector, which includes Shelter Cove, the season will be open May 1 through July 4. It will reopen July 22 and run through Sept. 5 with a 20-inch minimum and a limit of two kings a day.

To the north in the Brookings area (OR KMZ), the Chinook season will open June 25 and run through Aug. 21. Fishing will be allowed seven days per week, two fish per day and a minimum size limit of 24 inches total length for Chinook.

Klamath/Trinity river quota update Along with ocean salmon seasons up for final approval, the PFMC allocated 2,523 adult Chinook for the Klamath Basin quota. Bag and possession limits will be determined at the California Fish and Game Commission meeting April 20-21.

The tribal allocation is 8,605 adult Klamath River fall salmon, split between the Yurok and Hoopa Valley tribes.

“Critically dry” year designation for Trinity River According to a press release issued April 8 by the Bureau of Reclamation, the lack

The sport salmon season will open May 1 along the North Coast and should provide plenty of days on the water to land a salmon like the one pictured here with Garberville resident Broc Contreras.

of precipitation and snowpack in the Trinity Mountains this winter means the flow schedule for 2022 is scaled to a “critically dry” water year. This year marks the third critically dry year in the last five years for the Trinity watershed. The planned release schedule attempts to maximize benefits to the physical and biological character of the Trinity River, given the constraints of the limited amount of water available. This year’s flow schedule will begin April 15. Key dates and flow releases are: • April 15-20: Increase daily average flows from 300 cubic feet per second to 6,000 cfs • April 23: Flows decrease to 2,800 cfs • April 24-May 13: Maintain flows between 1,800 to 2,000 cfs • May 17: Return to 450 cfs summer baseflow, which continues until Sept. 30 Visitors near or on the river can expect river levels to increase during the flow releases and should take appropriate safety precautions. Landowners are advised to clear personal items from the floodplain prior to the releases. A daily schedule of flow releases is available at the program’s website www.trrp.net/restoration/flows/ current/.

Eel (main stem)

The main stem Eel is forecast for a very winter-like rise starting Thursday morning.

Steady rain from Wednesday through Saturday is predicted to push flows to above 13,000 cfs at Scotia by Sunday morning.

This will do wonders for the river, including getting the new-hatched fry safely downstream. It will also provide ample

water for the spawners to make their way to the ocean and will likely bring in quite a few fresh steelhead. The main stem Eel to the South Fork is open all year. Only artificial lures with barbless hooks may be used from April 1 through Sept. 30.

Smith River

With steady rain predicted for the week and into the weekend, the Smith is forecast to reach some of the highest flows since early January. It’s predicted to peak at just over 12 feet (11,000 cfs) at Jed Smith on Saturday afternoon. This will likely flush the last of the spawned-out steelhead downriver and could bring in a few fresh ones. The main stem of the Smith will remain open through the end of April from its mouth to the confluence with the Middle and South Forks. The Middle Fork will also remain open through April from its mouth to Patrick’s Creek.

The South Fork is open through April as well, from its mouth upstream approximately 1,000 feet to the County Road (George Tryon) bridge and Craig’s Creek to Jones Creek.

SETLIST

Microphone Season?

By Collin Yeo

music@northcoastjournal.com

I

’ll make this quick, for once. I have included both open mics and karaoke gigs here in the Setlist this week, with the obvious elephant of two-plus years of plague looming in the room. I can’t make any decisions for you, thankfully, but I am curious what people think about sharing a common microphone with the public right now. Yay or nay? Can you really sing with a mask or not? I am abstaining from public mics, but that’s mostly because I don’t play music anymore and I’m not sure that anyone really needs to hear me belt out Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs” for the millionth time. So it goes.

Have a nice week, stay safe.

Wilutis and Over Yonder. The ask at the door is a reasonable $5-$10 sliding scale entrance fee, which seems easy on the audience considering the cost of gas and literally everything else nowadays.

Thursday

Saturday

A lot of Eureka still mystifies me and spending most of the pandemic in a bubble surrounding my home in Arcata hasn’t helped. But like anyone else emerging into the bright sunshine and fresh air after two years, I am finding myself eager to explore again. Take the Grind Cafe, for instance. I have never been to the Grind Cafe but I have heard that there will be Americana music being played there from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. by someone named Basil Bolton, about whom I know nothing else. Perhaps I will explore this mystery further.

Two open mics worth mentioning for the evening: one at Blondie’s at 6 p.m. and another at Siren’s Song at 8 p.m.. The cost for both is free-fifty.

Friday Some of you might remember my last music review was the latest release by local artist Penner. She also fronts a jazz band called Young & Lovely and you can catch them tonight at 6:30 p.m. at Sepentrio Winery.

If you still feel up for more music afterward, there’s another show within strolling distance over at the Miniplex at 9 p.m.

Los Angeles’ cumbia punk group Sancho Villa will be joined by local noise-makers

Young & Lovely plays Septentrio Winery on Friday, April 15 at 6:30 p.m.

Michael Hagen from the Bow-Legged Buzzards and Turtle Goodwater of Barn Fire fame are putting on a free singer-songwriter gig over at Papa Wheelies at 8 p.m. tonight.

Across the Mad River and an hour and a half later you can go celebrate a proper throwdown at the Arcata Theatre Lounge as hometown funk heroes Diggin’ Dirt celebrates a return to the stage. Twenty-five bucks gets you in the door and more importantly, onto the dance floor, for an evening that will undoubtedly be an uptempo, high energy affair.

Sunday The Cal Poly Humboldt Theatre, Film and Dance department presents a closing matinee performance of Dance Visions today at 2 p.m. ($10, $8 students and seniors). This is the final performance of the run, so if you missed out during the working week, now’s your chance.

Otherwise, here’s to that theater-kid sibling of the open mic. You know what I mean, that unifying force that is capable of bringing drunk people of all persuasions and tastes together to celebrate in one of the last true safe space/neutral zones of the culture war: karaoke. You have

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, April 14, 2022 • northcoastjournal.com

two options tonight, both free, and both a considerable distance apart. The Clam Beach Tavern is the earlier of the two, starting off at 8 p.m., while the Miniplex has its own hot mic celebration kicking off an hour later and, if tradition holds, you are going to want to get there early for signups.

Monday It’s still kind of a music desert some days around these parts, so in keeping with my microphone season theme, I want to mention that there is one more open mic this week. The Clam Beach Tavern has its own homegrown honky tonk kicking off at 8 p.m., and as far as I am aware it is free to all comers.

Tuesday No, it isn’t quite 4/20 yet, that arbitrary celebration of all things stoney that possibly originated at a San Rafael high school in the late 1970s. However, it is close enough that a certain venue has booked the right talent to help shuffle in the festivities. In this case, the place is Humbrews at 9:30 p.m. and the artist is Trinidadian reggae artist Marlon Asher, whose 2006 release “Ganja Farmer” gained him an international audience chock full of tokers and smokers ($25, $20 advance).

Wednesday 4/20 doooood Well, here it is. Looking back on my

late ’90s teen years, I am reminded how absurd a holiday to basically get stoned in a park with your friends was and how even more absurd law enforcement’s reaction was to said holiday. It’s just weed, you dorks. Never forget many of our laws are pointless, punitive and just plain stupid. At this point of the collapse, I feel we should ignore many of them — the ruling class certainly does. While my own musical preference regarding marijuana celebration is Sleep’s iconic Dopesmoker album, there isn’t enough of a stoner metal community up here to ever land that classic band for 4/20. Still, there will be a proper get-down at the Arcata Theatre Lounge at 9 p.m. for any reggae fans who didn’t get their fill last night. Jamaican Rasta singer and deejay Anthony B will take the stage for a night of the good stuff that he’s been putting out for about three decades now. Interesting note about the pricing system: If you pony up $30, you can get in the door and enjoy this show, however, for an extra $20 (bringing the total to $50 for those of you who get a little jumbled about numbers) you can score tickets to tonight’s event and the Devin the Dude concert coming to the venue in three days. That’s a pretty good deal. l Collin Yeo (he/him) doesn’t really partake but still thinks that all drugs should be legal. He imagines the CIA would have some funding problems as a result so we should abolish that too. He lives in Arcata.

This year, the 21st annual Perilous Plunge, held Saturday, April 16 at noon at the foot of F St. in Eureka might be more aptly named the Perilous Polar Bear Plunge, considering how motherlovin’ cold it’s gonna be. But the daredevils who leap, twist, dive and splash into the bay for Redwood Discovery Museum’s annual fundraiser are fortified against the chill by their superpowered determination to help local kids. The high-spirited Marching Lumberjacks band also keeps the adrenaline pumping. And then there’s the hot tub, Bloody Marys and warm lunch that awaits them after the plunge. They’ll be all right. Don’t miss the frigid fun. Head on down and cheer them on.

In the mood for some live, high-energy music? Look no further than the two shows Cal Poly Humboldt’s got on tap this weekend. First up, it’s the Cal Poly Humboldt Guitar Ensemble and Mariachi de Humboldt Concert, Friday, April 15 at 8 p.m. in Fulkerson Recital Hall ($10, $5 child, free for CPH students w/ID).

The concert includes a variety of musical styles and ensembles, including a guitar octet playing an arrangement of Monteverdi’s “Orfeo,” a banjo trio performing old-time clawhammer banjo, performance poetry with guitar and marimba, and the much-anticipated return of the school’s newest ensemble, Mariachi de Humboldt, playing love songs and more love songs. Then, set your metronomes to “WOW” for the Cal Poly Humboldt Percussion Ensemble and World Percussion Group Concert on Saturday, April 16 at 8 p.m. also in Fulkerson Recital Hall ($10, $5 child, free for CPH students w/ID). Directed by Eugene Novotney and Howard Kaufman, this show features contemporary music for percussion and African rhythms of the Ewe tradition of Ghana. Proof of COVID vaccination and booster is required for both events. Masks are not required but strongly recommended.

Hippity-hoppity, Easter’s on its way! At parks across Humboldt County this Saturday, April 16, copious kids will gleefully search for hundreds of colorful, candy-filled eggs. (A word to the wise: When the hunt’s time is followed by the word “sharp!” you’d best be there on time and ready to roll.) In Fortuna, at the Eel River Valley Community Easter Egg Hunt, kids 12 and under can seek out the little oval gems Saturday, April 16 at Rohner Park starting at 10 a.m. sharp! In Ferndale, kids can scamper to find candy-filled eggs and meet and greet the Easter Bunny at the Egg Hunt at Ferndale Firemen’s Park at 10:30 a.m. There’s the Community Egg Hunt from 1 to 4 p.m. at Southern Humboldt Community Park in Garberville, where families can take pictures with the bunny, hunt for treasures, listen to music and purchase snacks and drinks from local nonprofits. Their hunt begins at 2 p.m. sharp! And in Arcata at Larson Park, Branches Humboldt hosts a Community Easter Egg Hunt at 2 p.m. with 1,000 brightly colored, candy-filled eggs, a cotton-candy machine, bounce-house, fresh popcorn and face-painting.

H

eads up, Humboldt: While the county’s masking mandate has been lifted, Public Health is still strongly recommending masking indoors in public, social distancing and “avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated spaces.” COVID-19 is still with us, so be sure to check the protocols at event venues.

Game Changers

HBO’s Winning Time and Tokyo Vice

By John J. Bennett

screens@northcoastjournal.com

T

he editor suggested, due to some fairly horrific recent events, that I keep this week’s selection light, perhaps write a column about comfort viewing. I may have met her halfway. There are certainly times when I seek out broad comedy to soothe my beleaguered psyche. As previously (repeatedly) mentioned, my wife and I spent the early months of the pandemic revisiting our DVD collection — yes, we still have one of those — to enjoy a simple laugh in the face of the apparent impending collapse of society. We screened Wet Hot American Summer (2001), Wedding Crashers (2005) and most of the movies bearing the Apatow or McKay imprint, with mostly delightful, restorative results.

When I’m alone, though, and in the depths of some usually self-induced trauma pit, I tend toward thematically darker, generally brooding, almost always violent fare. There have been dark afternoons with Apocalypse Now (1979) and a bottle of Bourbon, and not infrequent late nights/ early mornings scored by Michael Mann battle sequences.

And so, this week, in search of succor and in the pursuit of something fresh in the absence of a particularly compelling new movie, I looked to prestige TV; everybody seems to think it’s the new cinema anyway.

HBO may or may not have invented the medium, but it is difficult to deny the network has done more work than any other institution to perfect, streamline and (I’m loath to use the phrase) platform it. The Wire and The Sopranos and Oz are more significant cultural touchstones than almost any movie or novel or other work of art in the last two decades. And, yes, people seem to love Game of Thrones.

The advent of streaming and the audience’s increased acceptance of long-form storytelling has allowed television series of a certain tier to continue to evolve and advance. While the complaint has been levied in the past that TV is a writer’s medium, one that diminishes the role of the director and the visual design of a show, I would counter that there may be more artistic freedom, more invention and more definitive style in some of these series than

34

in the vast majority of movies.

WINNING TIME: THE RISE OF THE LAKERS DYNASTY, created by Max Borenstein and Jim Hecht, with a pilot episode directed by Adam McKay, tells the story of the transformation of the LA Lakers franchise — and of the National Basketball Association, really — under the ambitious, free-wheeling, probably crazy leadership of Jerry Buss (John C. Reilly).

Buss, a doctor of physical chemistry turned real estate investment mogul and bon vivant, decided at some point that he just had to get into the basketball business, just when attendance numbers and enthusiasm across the league were in steep decline. Leveraging his holdings (including the Chrysler Building!), he took on the task of rebuilding the Lakers and, initially unbeknownst to Buss, carrying the previous owner’s not-insignificant debt load.

With cost no object and caution thrown to the wind in favor of adventure and optimism, Buss drafted Earvin “Magic” Johnson (Quincy Isaiah), an over-height, alarmingly good spirited point guard riding high off a national championship at Michigan State University. Even this simple decision places the rookie team owner at odds with the establishment, including star center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (Solomon Hughes) and long-suffering coach Jerry West (Jason Clarke), and puts him into mutual combat with Boston’s ultra-dominant, ultra-domineering Red Auerbach (Michael Chiklis).

Hopefully you’ll forgive the aphorism (and the 35-year-old spoiler), but fortune seems to have favored the bold. Buss built a dynasty, just as he intended, and Winning Time puts us inside the rooms where it happened.

In high McKay fashion, the show uses a singular, vibrant visual language to tell its story, alternating between clean, warmtoned film, scratchy super-eight and period-correct video tape (how much of this was accomplished with modern digital technology I can’t say).

It’s often serious, decidedly adult and universally well acted, charming and deeply entertaining. I have a soft spot for the era of basketball with its roots in this period, though I am at best a casual fan. Even if I didn’t care for the game at all, I would enjoy the show. HBO MAX. TOKYO VICE. Years ago I gave a good friend, a scholar and student of Japanese art and culture, an autographed first edition of Jake Adelstein’s Tokyo Vice: An American Reporter on the Police Beat in Japan (the title precludes the need for synopsis).

It seemed like a fun gift, interested as we both are in true crime, etc. Well, the scholar read the book and all but threw it in my face, displeased with Adelstein’s seemingly untroubled immersion in Japanese culture and effortless romantic life.

That anecdote mostly aside, Adelstein’s memoir has been adapted, with a first episode directed by Mann and starring Ansel Elgort and Ken Watanabe. HBO debuted the series with three episodes in a block, doling out the remainder to air weekly.

While Mann has faltered a little in his recent feature work, the pilot episode of Tokyo Vice bears many of his trademark touches: a granular attention to detail, a troubled but determined protagonist, an agile but always controlled camera and an immersive, intensely authentic setting.

HBO MAX. John J. Bennett (he/him) is a movie nerd who loves a good car chase.

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

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

Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more

this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this infor− mation. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property.

Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Benefi− ciary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a cour− tesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call Nationwide Posting & Publication at 916.939.0772 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Website www.nationwideposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA07000748− 21−1. Information about postpone− ments that are very short in dura− tion or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not imme− diately be reflected in the tele− phone information or on the Internet Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Notice to Tenant NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER JANUARY 1, 2021 You may have a right to purchase this prop− erty after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an "eligible tenant buyer," you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an "eligible bidder," you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916.939.0772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case CA07000748−21−1 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale.

Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing.

ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION The California HCD certifies to HUD that Janice Waddell in her capacity as Community Development Branch Chief consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows the Yurok Indian Housing Authority to use Program funds.

OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS HUD will accept objections to its release of funds and the California HCD’s certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the California HCD; (b) the California HCD has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the development process have committed funds, incurred costs or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to HUD at One Sansome Street, 3rd Floor, Suite 1200, San Francisco, CA 94104.
