AuditorController Editor: I have known Cheryl Dillingham for over 10 years. I am extremely grateful she is running for office to be our Humboldt County auditor-controller.

Cheryl is an experienced leader who has all of the qualifications necessary to properly perform the duties of this very important office. She is a good person who has dedicated her professional career to ethical public service.

Cheryl has my highest possible recommendation! Please join me and vote for Cheryl Dillingham to be our next Humboldt County auditor-controller.

Randy Mendosa, Arcata Editor: If ever there was a clear and obvious choice in an election campaign, it is in the local race for auditor-controller.

Cheryl Dillingham has a proven track record of successfully running the Auditor-Controller’s Office without fanfare or drama, is respected by co-workers, subordinates, department leaders and managers within the county structure, and is endorsed by pretty much everyone who has worked with and for her.

Cheryl is an outstanding candidate.

A vote for her is a vote to restore much-needed trust, integrity and competence to that office.

Karen Suiker, Eureka

Fifth District Supervisor Editor: With over 20 years in community service and now with a term as supervisor, Steve Madrone is setting the stage for an incredibly productive four more years.

Sustainable community development and ecological restoration efforts are being flooded by funding from state and federal agencies; and Supervisor Madrone has experience and a proven track record in bringing public funds to benefit our community. In McKinleyville, we could use a big dose of ecologically-sound community development and redevelopment, where we have opportunity while enhancing our green and rejuvenating open spaces. In the rivers that run through our county, we need Madrone’s experience, knowledge and vast collaborative network to make sure the funds will be used to keep the water in our rivers, and not damaged or taken away by economic interests

Terry Torgerson

in other parts of our state. Vote Madrone for community development and healthy rivers!

Mary Burke, McKinleyville Editor: Steve Madrone is a hard-working supervisor who understands the challenges facing Humboldt County and how to build sustainable solutions. He has proven himself a thoughtful and principled leader.

He deserves re-election to continue representing the residents of the Fifth District.

Supervisor Madrone has signed the Climate Pledge sponsored by the Redwood Coalition for Climate and Environmental Responsibility (RCCER), and his work as a county leader embodies the priorities outlined in the pledge. He is a champion for safe, healthy, sustainable transportation options, like walking, biking and public transit. He understands the relationship between our housing crisis and the climate crisis, and how we can address both with better development projects and standards. He is dedicated to ensuring a new generation of high-quality green jobs.

For all of these reasons, RCCER is proud to endorse Steve Madrone for supervisor.

Colin Fiske, Arcata Editor: We have known Fifth District Supervisor Steve Madrone for 40 years and he has earned our deep respect due to his persistently beneficial service to Humboldt County.

Steve’s ability to listen to stakeholders, during his tenure as director of Natural Resource Services at RCAA, was critical to

ed in our next judge.

Michael Evenson, Petrolia Editor: For over 15 years, I’ve had the pleasure of knowing and working with Ben McLaughlin as a police officer and criminal defense investigator. Ben works vigorously for everyone. I’ve observed Ben’s expertise and work ethic.

People are safer in this community because of his time in prosecution. As a defense attorney, Ben obtained fair outcomes for clients ensuring the process was fair and based on facts. I’ve watched him putting in the long hours to make sure each defendant, survivor and witness was represented competently.

When I asked if there was a “famous” quote that may shed light on his judicial philosophy, he replied, “We apply law to facts. We don’t apply feelings to facts,” Justice Sotomayor.

Ben will apply the law to the facts and I know he will apply the law with equity, insight, intelligence and fairness.

Adam Laird, Arcata Editor: I retired from law enforcement having worked 13 years as a district attorney investigator. I worked very closely with Ben McLaughlin on many complex felony trials.

Ben has the experience, knowledge and personality to be an excellent superior court judge.

Ben will be a law-and-order judge but with the compassion and respect for the essential dignity of all persons. Ben has a vast amount of experience as a prosecutor, a public defender and is the only candidate who has experience in handling civil cases.

This is not a position for on-the-job training, but it is a position that requires a person to make correct decisions the first day on the bench. Ben is that person and I ask that you join me and dozens of police officers both current and retired to vote for Ben McLaughlin for Superior Court Judge of Humboldt County.

Mike Losey, Fortuna

District Attorney Editor: The Journal doesn’t endorse. That’s fine. Me? I’m for AK4DA: Adrian Kamada for district attorney. You’ll see it in my lawn signs.

But please, look beyond the candidates’ signs. It’s serious deciding whose leadership will best safeguard our community, ensure crimes are properly investigated and prosecuted, and help restore lives affected by crime.

Open your mind. Examine candidates’ plans. Watch them share a stage: tinyurl.

com/DAforum-Mattole. Beware of false claims. Don’t just count years at the office; find evidence of independence, toughness, smarts, vision, integrity.

Then it’ll become clear: Kamada is aboveboard, straightforward and better prepared to help prosecutors prepare stronger cases. With innovative, efficient approaches to low-level first offenders, he’ll reduce non-violent crime. That will increase resources to prosecute violent crime more effectively. The DA will be more accountable than ever.

So, visit www.AK4DA.com. If you like what you find, plant a KAMADA sign. It’s easy to stand behind.

Sean Kearns, Arcata

‘Maintain Respect’ Editor: As we enter the last month before elections, I worry about the culture wars: a term new to me in the few years, describing the exaggerated reactions to exaggerated differences in people’s ideals and beliefs, mirroring the rise of marketing media, which feeds us virtual over real, competition over cooperation, emotion over reason, hostility over kindness, greed over generosity — and seems designed to be divisive and benefit short-term gains over long-term good.

As culture wars and real wars rage in the larger world, and personal interactions continue limited by the pandemic and social media, I hope we in Humboldt County can participate in local politics without losing our care for each other as real people with complex blends of strengths and weaknesses, that we will try to understand each other, prioritize our commonalities and do our best to maintain respect for our differences.

Joyce King, McKinleyville

The Race for City Hall

In Arcata, six candidates are seeking one city council seat

Dana Quillman

Edith Rose

Kimberley White

Alex Stillman

Chase Marcum

Humnath Panta

By Kimberly Wear kim@northcoastjournal.com

Editor’s note: For more from the candidates — including their impressions of the city’s work to address climate change, Cal Poly Humboldt’s impact on Arcata, the city’s shortcomings in addressing residents’ needs and how they plan to help the council through a trying time — read the full version of this story online.

T

he race for a single seat on the Arcata City Council is making a special appearance on the June ballot with a crowded field of candidates vying to fill the opening left when former Vice Mayor Emily Goldstein stepped down earlier this year for family reasons.

The winner-take-all election will see the top vote-getter of the six hopefuls — Chase Marcum, Humnath Panta, Dana Quillman, Edith Rosen, Alexandra Stillman and Kimberley White — serve out the remainder of Goldstein’s term, which runs through November of 2024.

Goldstein’s departure marked the council’s second midterm vacancy in less than a year, and the four current members decided in February to take the special election route rather than appointing someone to serve until the November election or simply waiting until then. The council

found the special election option struck a balance of expediting the council’s return to a full complement while allowing local residents to choose their representative.

With whoever wins stepping onto the dais during a transitional time for Arcata and the council, we asked the candidates to answer some questions about themselves, the challenges facing the city and their reasons for running.

Two of candidates — Panta and White — also applied to finish the term of former Councilmember Sofia Pereira, who stepped down last summer to become the county’s public health director.

An assistant professor of finance at Cal Poly Humboldt, Panta says he wants to give back to a community that has given him “so much in the past several years.”

“I think the city council is the best venue for me to contribute comprehensively to the community,” he said. “I have extensive experience in multiple areas, including public and financial administration, public policies, planning, program evaluation, reporting, budgeting, accounting and data analytics. I believe my experience, expertise and perpetual pursuit of excellence will provide a meaningful contribution to the city of Arcata and its citizens.”

Comunidad Unida del Norte de Arcata/ Community United of North Arcata and a city Planning Commission member who also previously ran for a council seat in November of 2020, says she is passionate about “housing, addressing climate change and equity.”

“I’m not interested in doing business as usual but committed to dismantling exclusive/oppressive ways of doing government by shifting/sharing power, creating a more transparent/responsive government,” White said. “ I am also running to be a voice for those who seemingly have been left out and have had no voice. I have lived in Arcata (land of the Wiyot) 30-plus years and am ready to bring my passion, education and experience to serve Arcata.”

After breaking the proverbial glass ceiling by becoming Arcata’s first female councilmember and following up two years later in 1974 to become the city’s first female mayor, Stillman returned to the dais in 2006 and has served a total of 16 years.

A part-time commercial and residential real estate consultant and developer who also consults on historic preservation, Stillman said she has a “proven track record of getting things done during challenging times” and her experience will allow her to “hit the ground running, helping get

critical projects going.”

“Among the major immediate challenges facing Arcata are housing availability and affordable housing, public safety, growth of Cal Poly Humboldt and its impact on the community, homelessness and climate change,” she says. “We are facing many challenges that can become tremendous opportunities — a transformation, but into what? Whether our younger generation inherits a well-planned, thriving city for the next 20 years gets decided now. These early stages of Arcata’s transformation are critical. How we navigate this opportunity will either help or impede the future of your grandchildren and my great-grandchildren.”

Running for the first time, Rosen, an assistant director of finance who’s also owned her own consulting business, says she will bring her public and private sector experience to the dais and is “strongly compassionate about the betterment of our community.”

“I am running for Arcata City Council because, with every cell in my body, I feel that this is the right thing to do — to give back to our community,” Rosen says. “Our community truly helped provide a loving, caring, healthy environment for me to Continued on page 13 »

raise my daughters within. This is an outstanding, meaningful part of my mission to give back — to serve our local community, on Arcata City Council.”

While also new to municipal elections, Marcum, a Cal Poly Humboldt anthropology major, currently serves as vice president of the campus’ Associated Students governing board.

“First and foremost, I am running to represent those who have no representation, to give voice to those who have been silenced and to extend my hand to the people who have been down for far too long just as it was extended to me when I arrived in this wonderful community,” Marcum says. “Furthermore, I intend to remove antiquated bureaucratic mechanisms from our governing policies and procedures, which tie the hands and hinder the freedoms of the great members of our community here in Arcata.”

Quillman, who last ran for a council seat in 2006, declined the Journal’s invitation to be interviewed other than to respond to questions involving the Gateway project, which she said she is opposed to and has heard she “cannot vote on it anyway because of the location of where I live.”

The only other candidate to cite a potential conflict was Stillman, who said she “never expected the Gateway Area Plan’s swath to reach my plaza properties on H and Ninth streets” and she’s “60 feet short of being 500 feet away from the boundary.”

The Fair Political Practices Commission, she said, has advised her to contact the state agency if elected.

Arcata Mayor Stacy Atkins-Salazar was recently officially notified by the FPPC that she has a financial conflict of interest due to owning a residence and business directly across the street of a boundary to the 138-acre area being targeted for high-density residential infill and mixed-use development. She had already been voluntarily recusing herself from discussions.

Here are the remaining questions and what the responding candidates had to say.

What are your views on the proposed Gateway Area Plan?

Quillman: I do not like that the city of Arcata has been planning this Gateway project while everyone has been distracted by COVID. In my opinion, the city should have planned a 2040 General Plan Update Committee instead of embarking on a large-scale plan like this and then give residents one short year to digest it and comment on it. I don’t think a decision this large should be left to a city council.

Start again, do it the right way, including the input of all kinds of residents of Ar-

cata, the way the General plan update of 2020 was done.

Marcum: I think there is no doubt with the current projects being planned and implemented for growth in the sectors of business, education and infrastructure that we will have a great need for more housing moving forward. The Gateway Area Plan and mixed industry zoning could have many great aspects but many pitfalls as well. If we are to do this properly, we should pilot three separate mixed-use developments to determine which tact is more effective and appropriate for our community. The first is a student housing collective, (an) owned, operated, managed and benefited housing/commercial project, to provide a firm foundation not only for student housing, but student development in business and leadership.

The second an unrestricted, non-traditional housing/commercial project to be developed, owned and operated by the local Indigenous tribes. Thirdly, a traditional approach to be executed by traditional corporate housing/commercial developers. Let us be bold, pave new pathways, lay a new foundation and be not afraid to stray from norms of our past. Let’s together determine what is best for our community’s future.

Rosen: The amount of complex analysis that went into the Gateway Area Plan is commendable — as is the overall intention of the plan — tying together multiple needs of our community. Two main concerns regarding the GAP are: ensuring ample community involvement and input, and ensuring further evaluation of the plan’s impacts — including those that may be unintended. Contingency planning must be realistically considered with such a comprehensive project.

Stillman: I support the concept of the Gateway Area Plan for additional workforce housing for police officers, teachers, firefighters and other service people that guarantee us a viable bright future. In addition, market rate housing, with condos and apartments for those single-family homes owners who want to relocate to apartment complexes, making their houses available to families. Also, the GAP is in the oldest part of Arcata. The area has well over 50 historic buildings.

These buildings need to be surveyed, a plan developed to ensure they are not swallowed up but have incentives to remain viable and create cultural amenities and harmoniousness for any expansion within the planning area. GAP can provide housing for Arcata’s younger generation so they can remain in the community. Yet it needs to be thoughtfully planned and

designed to continue to support Arcata’s character and to create a livable, walkable and bikeable, healthy city.

Panta: The proposed Gateway Area Plan is a part of the city of Arcata’s strategic infill redevelopment program. The Gateway Plan Area covers a 138-acre area located west of K Street. The plan’s main objective is to redevelop the area to create more housing opportunities for the community.

I think this is a great initiative by the city and, as with any infill redevelopment, this initiative can reduce development pressures on outlying areas and can enhance opportunities for public engagement and an overall better environment.

White: Arcata is growing, we need to be proactive and plan. In order to have real public engagement/true democratic process, the draft Gateway Plan needs to be community-led, fully transparent, include ALL voices, not just those that are privileged or who speak the loudest.

While a nationwide problem, homelessness is also an acute one in Arcata. What steps can and/or should the council take to address this issue?

Rosen: Houselessness is multifaceted and needs a systems approach in order to remedy deeply systemic inequities. This has been an issue in Arcata and in Humboldt for years now. Local governments can enact policies that direct funding toward sustainable, affordable housing projects, as well as ensure that individuals who are in need have access to basic resources, including access to the resources needed to heal.

Marcum: This problem can be approached and resolved through many different solutions, most of which require out of the box and unorthodox solutions.

Some of which would be ideas surrounding non-traditional housing collectives located within undeveloped semi-rural locales that were non-restrictive and appealing to those without a place to live, communities to offer new beginnings, education, and methods of healing to help those in need until they can get back on their feet.

White: I am committed to long-term solutions for the unhoused, a member of True North and serve on several housing groups.

Stillman: Homelessness is a very difficult situation that has been exacerbated by the economic fallout of the COVID pandemic. I have been involved with Arcata House Partnership, by providing funding opportunities, support, donations and ideas to assist Arcata House Partnership in tackling homelessness since 1991.

The missing link for AHP is enough funding to provide additional services,

whether it’s more sheltered beds, mental health, substance abuse treatment or staff.

We have over 17,000 people in Arcata and if we each gave $20 a year to Arcata House Partnership, they would receive $340,000, which could be seed money for providing more services. The root evil of homelessness is the loss of housing, which directly leads to mental illness. It is very important for Arcata’s residents to help the valiant efforts of Arcata House Partnership; they are underfunded, need more mental health illness services, plus more transitional housing to help solve this critical community issue.

Panta: First, I have to express that I am deeply saddened to see the plight of homeless people across the country and especially in Arcata. Second, I believe the city of Arcata needs a multi-pronged approach to address and alleviate this situation.

We should start by appraising the number of homeless people in our city as well as by communicating with neighboring towns and evaluating their numbers as well. We should set this as a continuous process to create a timeline of measurement data.

Next, we should identify corporations and external organizations that care about corporate social responsibility. There are multiple organizations with funds that are allocated for communal activities and that go unused. We need to create partnerships with these organizations to bring them to Arcata either as financial donors or as active participants to aid in retooling and employing some of the homeless people. We need a proper plan, coordination and processes to be put in place for all these efforts.

The city council should provide designated shelter for homeless citizens with many activities, including job training, sports and counseling. Mental health issues, substance use, addiction, gambling and unaffordable rent are major causes of homelessness. Our policies, programs and plans should focus more on helping homeless people return to normal life and transform into contributing citizens of the community.

Once the city has a well-designed plan and partnership with entities in place for managing homeless citizens, we should also create rules to restrict the homeless people from occupying streets in major business areas and public and private properties inside the city. l Kimberly Wear (she/her) is the Journal’s digital editor.

My Cousin Emmi

MMIW isn’t statistics.

It’s my family.

By Cutcha Risling Baldy newsroom@northcoastjournal.comç

Editor’s note: According to the Sovereign Bodies Institute, there are 183 cases of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls in California, including 18 reported last year alone. One-hundred-andseven of those women and girls are from Northern California. This is the experience of a single family member of one of the missing, illustrating the reverberating impacts each one of these cases has.

May 5 is a national day for honoring Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and 2 Spirit people. Across the nation, organizations, community groups and tribes will be gathering to call attention to this ongoing issue.

O

ne summer my aunt and uncle asked if I would babysit my little cousin Emmilee since they both had work and I needed money for gas. She was 6, maybe 7, and while I didn’t love having to show up at 8:30 every single morning during summer vacation, she was always excited that she got to spend the day with her “cool cousin.” We watched a lot of Friends; she was slightly too young to get most of the jokes but she laughed alongside me like she did. We played a lot with my makeup, we did each other’s hair and she loved to pick out outfits for me to wear. We’d walk to the park together for picnic lunches. She liked to make daisy chains. We spent a lot of time talking about all the things we could dream into being: a store that had skirts made entirely of licorice, a restaurant where everyone would sing along to music like in a musical, aquariums where you could swim with

the jellyfish. Many years later, when I had my own daughter, Emmi would offer to babysit, and she would tell my daughter stories about us, like we’d had a summer of crazy adventures, not just short walks to the park but epic day-long journeys, fantastical tales that she said reminded her of how magical life could be.

Emmilee Risling went missing in October of 2021. There have been several reports of her last known whereabouts, though current search efforts have focused on the Pecwan and Weitchpec areas on the Yurok Indian Reservation. This past week, the Jon Francis Foundation brought volunteers and assembled a team and cadaver-sniffing dogs to search remote parts of Yurok territory in hopes of finding additional clues or locating Emmi. They worked with local law enforcement on this effort, waking early each morning to cover a massive area that included parts of the Klamath River. They didn’t find Emmi but are hoping to coordinate future search efforts. One of the reasons the search was so important was because of the influx of resources that the Jon Francis Foundation brought — resources that were not available for our family when Emmi first went missing. The coordination of something like this was monumental for our ongoing efforts to find Emmi, efforts that will continue until she is home.

Emmi’s disappearance felt like the culmination of years of struggle for her, built from ongoing mental health issues, drug abuse, abusive relationships, poorly resourced justice and mental health care systems, and ongoing jurisdictional and legal issues that have continued to put

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, May 5, 2022 • northcoastjournal.com

Native American women at increased risk of violence, trafficking and sexual assault, with one of the highest rates of unsolved cases in the nation.

I can repeat statistics. I’ve researched and written, taught courses and made lesson plans to help people understand the ongoing issues with Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) in the United States.

Native American women are murdered and sexually assaulted at 10 times the national average in the United States.

95 percent of missing or murdered Native women cases were not reported by the national news media.

California is one of the top 10 states for MMIW cases.

And, according to the Yurok Tribe’s Year Two Progress Report for the To’ Kee Skuy’ Soo Ney-Wo-Chek’ (I Will See You Again in a Good Way) Project, the Northern California region, including Yurok Country in Humboldt and Del Norte counties, had the highest share of MMIW, with 36 percent of all cases in the state, despite being home to less than 2 percent of Native people in California, according to the U.S. Census.

The Yurok Tribe issued an emergency declaration in December in response to the rates of missing persons impacting tribes and Native families and communities across Northern California. What our family has experienced navigating this ongoing crisis is that resources are not readily available for things like massive searches, private investigators, search and rescue animals, or even family advocates to help navigate a criminal justice system that is

not set up to assist grieving families.

This has been an issue since the influx of western colonization, tied to the stealing of our lands alongside the stealing of our women and children. In the 1800s, when the state of California established laws that enslaved California Indian peoples, the highest “bounties” paid for Indian “apprentices” were for young Indian girls. In Humboldt County, records in the mid-1800s indicate most California Indian people taken into slavery were children ages 7 to 12, and most of those were girls.

Records also show many of our women were “taken” during this time, though they are not reported in the records as being sold into slavery. Instead, they disappeared and likely ended up either murdered, sold to brothels or forced into marriage. These types of exchanges are not necessarily a part of the western archival record, but we learn about them in our own tribal stories, passed generation to generation in order to fill in the blanks.

My mother often talks about letters she would find in the archive from Native parents begging for the head of the fort to find their daughters. “My daughter is missing,” they would write, “they came and took her. Please help me find my daughter.” Native people, for as long as this colonial system has been in place to steal our people, have been searching, organizing, reaching out and refusing to give up. Their letters live on in an archive of our attempted genocide. The settler system of governance and law has continued to put up road blocks to protecting us. Fifty percent of violent cases against Native women go unprosecuted. The numbers of

missing Native women continues to grow.

And family after family is forced to reckon with who they can plead with next: “My daughter/sister/auntie/cousin/friend is missing. Please help me find them.”

I have a hard time talking about Emmi like she is a story to share to try to change a policy or update a law. Those things need to happen. Support the Native organizations doing the work to protect our peoples on the ground, like the National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center, a Native-led nonprofit that provides policy development to strengthen tribal sovereignty.

But Emmi isn’t just a story or a statistic. She is my family, my baby cousin. She has always been a thoughtful and caring person. After graduating from the University of Oregon, she worked primarily in social services, helping Native families and children. She volunteered with Native organizations, like the Native Women’s Collective. And she was always helping at cultural ceremonies, welcoming people as they came together in prayer and song. I can also tell you about how she struggled with mental illness and how there was no way to help her, how often we tried to intervene, the moments we watched as she was passed from agency to agency, how often it was recommended that she be hospitalized or kept in a facility only to be dismissed by a judge or a prosecutor, how

she became a statistic to them instead of a human being struggling and spiraling until she was mostly defeated.

Or I can tell you about listening to my mother describe what it has been like these past few months: “When I think about my niece, I cry. I cry for my brother, her father. I cry for her children. I think it is OK to cry out like this so that somebody, anybody, might hear it and they might say something that will help us find her again.”

Grief for the missing is different, it’s almost dull but ever present. There are more questions than answers and every day feels both hopeful and hopeless at the same time. I don’t want to think about Emmi like a statistic or a cautionary tale, or even just as a story of a system designed to disappear us.

I want to think about how she can inspire us to create, sustain and center who we are as a community. How can we care for each other? Emmi cared for people.

I think people know more than they are saying. Come forward.

Please.

If you know something about her or any other case, come forward. There is a family there, desperate for answers, and silence or secrecy will only fester a community wound, a missing mother, daughter, cousin, friend.

So, say something.

I also know that people want real answers to how they can help, or what needs to be done.

The Yurok Tribe continues to do important work to document and find real ways to address how we can support MMIW families. They are looking for more funding and assistance and need people to call our congressional and legislative representatives to say they should fund Continued on page 19 »

the Yurok Tribe’s ongoing work. The Hoopa Valley Tribe (where Emmi is enrolled) continues to build. They’re on-the-ground support for MMIW families, as well. We need our Legislature to step in and provide unrestricted funding for family assistance. Humboldt County should provide funding for a task force that can distribute real funds and build responses to this ongoing issue. There’s policy that needs to be written and implemented. There are organizations that should be supported to continue the work of building mental health programs in our communities.

Tribes, tribal organizations, tribal peoples have been chronically underfunded, resulting in these disparities.

At the end of the day, I can’t help but flash back to the last time I saw Emmi. She hugged me tight. Her sentences were jumbled, her eyes darting from place to place, and it seemed like there were too many thoughts in her head all trying to come out at the same time. “Cutcha,” she said, “I can see you. I know you can see me.”

I kept trying to get her into my car. I kept saying that she shouldn’t walk alone down the busy road. I offered to have my husband take her to where she was staying. She was barefoot and wet from the waist down. She was carrying her shoes.

She repeated, “Cutcha, I can see you. I know you can see me.”

So I paused for a moment to just look at her.

She hugged me and whispered in my ear, something that I couldn’t understand.

“I miss you,” I said back to her. “Do you have someplace you can go?”

She didn’t answer. She looked to the sky, she looked to the ground, she looked to my family waiting in the car for me on the side of the road, she looked back at me. “You will hug your daughter for me?

You will show her how magical you really are? I told her once how you had magic.

When I was little, you were magical to me.”

She hugged me again and then walked off into the field, the tall dried grass blowing in the wind around her. ● Editor’s note: A GoFundMe account has been set up to help cover the costs of future searches for Emmilee Risling.

Nonprofit Spurs ‘Exhaustive Search’ for Risling

T

his past weekend, 20 volunteers, two search dogs, boats, all-terrain vehicles and personnel from three law enforcement agencies conducted the largest search to date for Emmilee Risling, scouring miles of rugged, remote landscape along the Klamath River near Pecwan.

The search came up empty, finding no signs of Risling, a mother of two who was last seen in the area and reported missing in October, part of a string of disappearances of Native women that prompted the Yurok Tribal Council to issue an emergency declaration in December. But the search itself, conducted over three consecutive days as the May 5 National Missing and Murdered Native Women and Girls Awareness Day approached, offers some hope that additional attention and resources may help bring closures to the dozens of local Native families with missing loved ones.

The search came to be after the Associated Press ran a Feb. 21 article focused on Risling’s case and the MMIG epidemic. A Yurok tribal member in San Francisco then sent the article to David Francis, co-founder of the Jon Francis Foundation, a Minnesota nonprofit dedicated to wilderness safety education and finding the missing.

Francis said he then started learning about Risling’s case, and became pulled into the layered tragedy of a missing young mother who is one of 10 people believed to be missing from the Yurok Reservation in the

midst of growing awareness of the MMIG movement. Most of all, Francis said he came to believe he could help a family in need.

For Francis, the foundation’s work is intensely personal. It’s named after his late son, who went missing in July of 2006 while rock climbing in the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho. Authorities, Francis said, did two days of searches after Jon was reported missing but came up empty.

“They concluded our son was dead and came to us and said, ‘It’s time to give your son up to the mountains,” Francis said, adding that he and his wife Linda were unwilling to accept that and began organizing volunteer searches of the jagged terrain.

Ultimately, Francis said 70 searches were conducted for Jon over the course of 53 weeks before his body was found.

“We finally got resolution to our grief and laid Jon’s remains to rest,” Francis said, explaining that he learned a tremendous amount through the process.

Most importantly, he said he learned to try to get inside the mind of the person missing to predict their behavior and — hopefully — their location. In Jon’s case, that meant interviewing his climbing partners, some of whom declined to go out with him that day, and pairing the information they provided with clues yielded from canine searches to retrace his footsteps until finally finding where he’d Continued on page 21 »

lost his footing and fallen 120 feet to his death.

“We were then encouraged by folks here in Minnesota to create a foundation in his memory and to bring some good from his loss, so we did and have been pursuing that mission for 15 years now,” Francis said, adding that the foundation has now organized 28 searches, recovering remains of the missing in 10 of them.

The foundation provides its services at no cost to families of the missing or government agencies, instead relying on community donations to continue its work.

Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal said he’s grateful for the foundation’s resources, saying they allowed an “exhaustive search” over the area. While law enforcement managed and coordinated the search itself, Honsal said the foundation helped secure the search dogs and volunteers, put them up in hotels and fed them.

“This is not something we’d normally

do but we do really want to do everything possible to find her,” Honsal said.

While that effort came up short, Francis said some of the trained volunteers suggested redoubling efforts in August, when the river will be lower. Speaking to the Journal by phone from an airport during his trip back to Minnesota, Francis said he just feels for the Risling family, saying he knows from experience how much these searches build hope and how they can send people back into a state of “deep grief” when unsuccessful. As to whether the foundation would return in August, Francis said it’s up to the family and the Hoopa Valley and Yurok tribes.

“If we’re invited, we’ll be involved,” he said.

For more information on the Jon Francis Foundation, including how to make a tax deductible donation to aid the foundation’s next search effort, visit www. jonfrancisfoundation.org.

GET OUT

Running Angry

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

I

never liked running. As a chubby teenager, I signed up for track hoping to emerge from the season more like my friends, the whippet-like McCann sisters who glided through turns and sprang across the long jump pit. Instead, I ambled like a corgi on shin splints, scoring only forfeit wins from teams whose hurdlers were too good to risk injuring themselves on our sketchy asphalt track. The runner’s high never took. In college I took a few runs a week, still stumbling after the McCanns in my self-loathing imagination and on an increasingly pained knee. Finally, after a surgery and hanging onto an awful job as long as I could for the insurance that covered the follow-up physical therapy, I surrendered. It was somewhat of a relief no longer having to talk myself into lacing up or keeping going when I was out of steam. My knee was a permanent gym note excusing me from running.

Years later, my nurse practitioner suggested multiple short walks a day to help with the stress that had turned my neck and shoulders into jerky and my cortisol production up to something like Trevi Fountain. My rage walks, as I called them, were good for my lungs, my sedentary muscles and vitamin D deprivation. But in terms of my frustration — with work, with the world — it was like trying to douse a house fire with a teacup. And once the pandemic hit, with its accompanying worries and uncertainties amid a national crisis with a climbing death toll and a chunk of the population in cartoonish denial, it was like fighting the fire with a teaspoon.

During lockdown, I’d take a long walk at lunch, trying to get some air and level out after watching or reading the news, or the stress of my job at a newspaper. And when the roaring in my head drowned out the birdsong and my fists would ball up and I couldn’t calm down, I’d break into a run. It was better to feel it and let it fuel me instead of trying to choke down all that energy. Sometimes a few blocks would do it.

Sometimes I needed to go full bore, arms pumping hard at my sides. Occasionally, I’d clench my teeth and pound up a hill until I got to the top, gasping and relieved, my adrenaline spent. It was like a primal scream, hurling myself toward the oblivion of exhaustion, the fried lungs, the helpless anger wrung out of me and replaced by

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, May 5, 2022 • northcoastjournal.com

something like spiteful accomplishment. I wanted to simultaneously run from and at everything. Because fuck all of it.

Soon, I’d hang up from a miserable phone call or close a tab on an enraging story and put my shoes on. I ran out my urge to throw things at the TV and fight pointlessly with trolls online. I tore around my neighborhood scowling until the scowl was one of effort, expending the sort of energy one usually reserves for flipping desks and thrashing hotel rooms on propelling myself forward a little farther, a little faster.

It didn’t make the world or my feelings about it any better — not by a longshot.

And there was still no runner’s high, at least not the way I’d heard it described.

But, like aggressive exfoliation at a Korean spa, the scraped down feeling was a reset.

I caught my breath back on my front steps and got ready to start again.

I thought, I’ll do this for a little while until it starts to hurt for real. A week. A month. The summer. I waited for my knees to ache and cut this little experiment short. My quads and calves were sore.

I felt my age in all my muscles. But my knees were freakishly unaffected, better than they’d been in my teens. The universe had kindly given me back my knees but cruelly torn up my get-out-of-gym note.

Over the phone, a friend responded with surprise when I mentioned I’d been for a run.

“I only run when I’m, like, overwhelmed with anger and frustration,” I said.

“So, every day then?”

Shit. I was running again.

When I saw on Twitter that my colleague Linda Stansberry was doing her own casual 5k with friends (cheerfully dubbed the Murder She Ran 5k) after a race she’d signed up for had dropped the ball on adapting for COVID amid still rising numbers, I jumped on board. I hadn’t run

alongside anyone since high school and realized belatedly that running me — huffing, grimacing and powered by boundless rage — might not be the most pleasant company. Still, I had committed. And she’d likely seen me worse over the years.

But the morning we met up to run along the Waterfront Trail was unlike any of my solo outings. There were a couple of women and their big, happy dogs on leashes. We mostly jogged and gossiped, told embarrassing work stories and enjoyed the slowly passing view. At the end, there were congratulatory friends and doughnuts. Again, no runner’s high, but doughnuts! It was social, devoid of pressure and, to my shock, genuinely relaxing.

I can’t say I’ve turned into a joyful runner since then but these days, I don’t only run when I’m pissed off. The euphoria may never come, but it’s still worth training to be a faster, more graceful corgi and take some of the struggle out of it. Sometimes, I even enjoy the scenery when I’m not blinded by fury. If this week’s U.S. Supreme Court news is any indication, I won’t be finished with rage runs anytime soon. So long as my knees hold out. ● Jennifer Fumiko Cahill (she/her) is the arts and features editor at the Journal.

FISHING THE NORTH COAST

Weather Slows Eureka King Opener

By Kenny Priest

fishing@northcoastjournal.com

W

ith no advance scouting, the dozen or so Eureka boats struggled to find schools of salmon during Sunday’s opener. In a typical year, we’ll see rockfish and Pacific halibut open a few weeks prior to salmon, giving anglers some clues on where the bait is stockpiled and where the birds are spending their time. But this year, there was no time on the water prior to the opener, and the boats were at somewhat of a disadvantage. The weather also played a role. Swells were too large for boats to travel far and look for fish. Despite all that, anglers caught some salmon. The few charters who ventured out all caught a few. This is really encouraging to see fish here this early in the season. Once the weather cooperates, it should be game on.

Weekend marine forecast

Ocean conditions don’t look great for the rest of the week and weekend. As of Tuesday afternoon, Thursday’s forecast is calling for south winds 5 to 10 knots and northwest waves 9 feet at 18 seconds.

Friday’s forecast is calling for southwest winds 5 to 15 knots and waves southwest 7 feet at seven seconds and west 7 feet at 14 seconds. Saturday’s forecast is calling for northwest winds at 10 to 15 knots and west waves 11 feet at 12 seconds and southwest 2 feet at 17 seconds. Sunday looks worse, with 10 to 20 knot winds coming out of the northwest and west waves 11 feet at 11 seconds.

These conditions can and will change by the weekend. For an up-to-date weather forecast, visit www.weather.gov/eureka/ or www.windy.com. You can also call the National Weather Service at 443-7062 or the office on Woodley Island at 443-6484.

The Oceans: Eureka

The weather did not do any favors for

Arcata resident Larry Biggs landed a nice one Sunday while fishing the king salmon opener out of Eureka. Photo courtesy of Tim Klassen/Reel Steel Sport Fishing the boats that fished Sunday’s opener.

The 9-foot swells kept the fleet close and didn’t allow for much looking around.

“Most of the fish were straight out in 150 to 220 feet of water roughly a mile north and south of the entrance,” said Tim Klassen of Reel Steel Sport Fishing. “But they were definitely spread out, no real schools. We didn’t see any edges, rips or color changes, which is what we’re looking for. The fish that were caught were full of crab larvae and krill. Ocean conditions don’t look great this week for halibut or rockfish, but we may be able to troll for salmon.”

Crescent City

Trinidad

Pacific halibut season opened Sunday out of Brookings with fairly large swell and a strong wind drift, reports Andy Martin of Brookings Fishing Charters. “Fishing was slow,” said Martin. “Lingcod fishing remains good along the near-shore reefs from Chetco Point to House Rock. Lings to 30 pounds were caught last week. Salmon won’t open until June 28 out of Brookings.

Bottom fish anglers continue to encounter large numbers of kings in close, a promising sign for next month.”

Read the complete fishing roundup at www.northcoastjournal.com. l

Salmon, rockfish and Pacific halibut all opened Sunday. Reportedly, seven boats launched but caught no salmon. There were a few Pacific halibut landed, however. The Trinidad launch will be in service and launching boats at 6 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. Thursday through Monday. It will be closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Cost to launch is $45.

Shelter Cove

The saltwater opener was good, according to Jake Mitchell of Sea Hawk Sport Fishing. “The rockfish bit really well at the Hat on Sunday and around the whistle on Monday,” said Mitchell. “There were some salmon caught on Sunday around the bell buoy, with boats averaging a little less than a fish per rod. It was pretty rough on Monday and only four boats launched. I heard of four salmon caught.”

Crescent City was definitely the hot spot for salmon on the opener. Sport and charter boats reported quite a few limits, with most of the action straight out front just south of the second buoy. The fish were shallow, with most coming at 50 feet. Reportedly, more than 40 salmon were counted by Fish and Wildlife staff.

Only a couple boats braved the conditions on Monday and again boated limits. The rockfish opener was also successful, with limits coming fairly easily. The ling bite was reportedly a little tougher.

SETLIST

Vaya con Dios

by Collin Yeo

music@northcoastjournal.com

O

ne aspect of this gig that I haven’t relished over the years is reporting when another member of the Humboldt music scene has passed away. I try to keep things light here (mostly) and there is generally nothing light about death, particularly the death of an artist. And despite my own especially mordant sense of gallows humor, I don’t enjoy human suffering any more than your average, reasonable citizen. This guy was a real beacon, too.

Sadly, John McManus lost his struggle with ALS last week. As my beat is music, I knew him only as a member of some truly great local bands like The Buffy Swayze and Apocalyptic Music Brigade. I didn’t know McManus personally beyond that, however, the tributes and obituaries floating around right now present a portrait of a humanitarian who genuinely loved his community and was duly loved right back. It’s not like there’s a surplus of people like that so, in whatever capacity I have as a writer and representative of the local music scene, I’d like to wish him safe travels to “the undiscovered country.”

And for the rest of you, have a lovely week.

Thursday, Cinco de Mayo I’m happy to see that shows are happening again at the Old Steeple. It’s a lovely venue and unique in its atmosphere (intimate, yet large enough to host some fairly prestigious shows).

Tonight is a good one: Micah Nelson, one of Willie’s sons, is bringing his experimental folk act Particle Kid up from Los Angeles to entertain us. I’ve written about this act before when he played at Humbrews and, from what I understand, Micah is well liked in this neck of the woods. Starhopper opens at 7:30 p.m. ($30, $25 advance). And if this one isn’t to your fancy, consider checking out Absynth Quartet here tomorrow night.

Cruising for Snails

A couple of nassa shells with other snails.

I

just gave some cruise ship passengers a tour called The Humboldt Culture and Beachcombing Experience. The first question from my busload of cruisers was: “Are you serving rum punch?”

I said, “No. This isn’t the Caribbean.

Our first stop is the Arcata Plaza, where I encourage you to experience our culture by mingling with locals and sampling our local delicacies and libations. Plus, there’s a liquor store.”

After herding them back onto the bus, one fellow held up a baggie and said, “A nice young man sold me these local delicacies. They are chewy and taste a bit earthy, but they go great with rum punch!”

So, on the way to the beach, my cruisers passed around the delicacy baggie and bottles of rum and punch.

I lost control of the group at the beach but I caught up with one old gal who was examining something. She said, “Oh wow … it’s so shiny and orange on the inside. It’s the orangest thing in the world!”

I said, “Nice find! It’s the shell of the giant western nassa snail, Nassarius fossatus, which is in the whelk family. Your specimen, with its 2-inch-high spire and inch-wide base, is about as big as they get. Your snail is also called a dogwhelk, a channeled nassa or even a basket snail because it has the bumpy texture of a spirally woven basket.”

I heard a fellow screaming. He was cowering from an unseen monster or something. He was in a panic but, unfortunately, he did not have the defenses of a nassa snail.

I said, “When threatened, the nassa snail retreats into its shell and closes the door with a strong, flexible lid called an operculum.”

I looked up to see one of my cruisers on her knees sobbing and eating sand by the fistful.

I continued, “The nassa snail eats mostly dead animal material, which it can

sniff out from a distance using its long proboscis. It uses its raspy tongue to lick up the flesh. It can also use its tongue to bore through the shells of clams and lick their flesh out.”

I glanced up at the surf to see an adorable nude couple laughing hysterically while trying to catch fish using their undergarments as nets.

“Ah yes,” I said. “The nassa snail’s Latin name means ‘someone who digs and also uses a wicker basket to catch fish.’ I think a silly snail biologist got a little carried away when naming it!”

She said, “Yes, nothing good ever happens when biologists try to be funny.”

“Agreed,” I said. Then I noticed a gentleman lying on his back working vigorously to – I don’t know — inseminate the sun?

He did create a beautiful one-winged sand angel though.

I continued, “Unlike many other mollusks, the giant western nassa snail has separate sexes. The male inseminates the female and then she lays egg capsules in strings up to 2.5 inches long. The snails normally live on mud or sand bottoms, but they lay their eggs on solid objects — from rocks to crab traps. The flat egg capsules are oval and leathery with soft little spikes around each edge. A string may contain 40 capsules and each capsule contains hundreds of eggs. The strings of hatched-out cases sometimes wash up in large quantities.”

Then I saw one old guy happily buried up to his neck in the sand until another guy kicked his head as if he thought it was a soccer ball.

That’s all I could take, so I hitchhiked home. Does anyone know if my cruisers made it back? l Biologist Mike Kelly (he/him) also writes science-based satire as M. Sid Kelly. It’s available at Eureka Books or everywhere e-books are sold.

Cock and Bull Stories

White Hot and Minx

By Tiggerbouncer Custodio screens@northcoastjournal.com

WHITE HOT: THE RISE & FALL OF ABERCROMBIE & FITCH. Why is White Hot: The Rise & Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch on Netflix a poignant documentary? Was it supposed to be a piece of expository journalism explaining the nature of the brand? I was waiting for a surprise, a twist, a revelation but the only blatant one was that some people didn’t realize this brand built on exclusion and racism is, in fact, exclusionary and racist. Maybe the washboard-abbed, “all-American” college boys engaged in homoerotic poses in black and white billboards outside shrouded stores oozing pheromone-laced cologne and throbbing music hypnotized people into seeing a POC where there was none. Or maybe they didn’t care. Perhaps the movie was supposed to be investigative journalism diving into how society is blinded by fads whose coolness is in not caring about inclusion. Perhaps it is a meant to make us to think more deeply about what we consume and how we consume it, and demand more. Maybe after this documentary, we will look at Tesla, Apple and Humboldt theater and begin to see the lack of representation as affecting the quality of the product being fed to us so we can reconsider what we support. Alas, this documentary doesn’t come close to inspiring those questions.

What it does do is show how far we have come as a society in recognizing passive racism. “Jokes” like the “Juan too Many” shirts with sombrero clad drunkards and “Two Wongs make a right” shirts with equally offensive buck toothed “Asians” that look more like Jerry Lewis, once proudly sold by A&F are no longer accepted in retail society. (Unless they’re in support of certain sports franchises, that is.) It also highlights a precedent set by the U.S. Supreme Court case Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v.

Abercrombie & Fitch Stores, which paved the way for states to create labor and employment laws protecting historically op-

30

pressed people.

In this case, the court sided with Samantha Elauf, who was refused a job because of the head scarf she wears for religious reasons.

This segment produced my favorite line of the movie: “You know you’ve crossed the line when Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia thinks you’ve crossed the line of employment discrimination.”

If you didn’t know that Abercrombie & Fitch was created to exclude anyone outside specific white collegiate aesthetic, I encourage you to watch this movie and marvel at how ideas like wanting to depict the “all-American” look can be used to justify blatant racism when it is juxtaposed with rules that discourage POC or nonwhite cultural imagery. Interestingly, it also highlights how male beauty and fashion can be conflated with toxic gay culture.

On the other hand, if you already knew, this documentary should come with a trigger warning for the emotional distress you may experience reliving the ’90s and wondering why in 2022 much of the same lack of representation persists. TV14. 88M. NETFLIX. MINX. When trying to cleanse the palate of serious documentaries, I suggest turning to penises, especially since full-frontal shots of male actors seem all the rage in TV and movies. It’s about time.

The new HBO series Minx, set in the 1970s, certainly doesn’t spare the phallus. It’s up close and personal, from the first episode to the last. Overtly, unabashedly and with purpose. In order to tell this story of the first erotic magazine for women and its feminist writer/co-creator Joyce (Ophelia Lovibond), the show couldn’t just allude to the penis, it has to almost make a character of it — partly to disempower them and disarm the viewer to pay more attention to the actual storytelling. But it also makes a point of gratuitous reverse objectification — one of the prevailing

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, May 5, 2022 • northcoastjournal.com

What women want is actually doughnuts. Doughnuts and reproductive freedom.

Minx

themes of the series. Joyce struggles to build a platform of erotism and male porn to create her feminist social commentary without embodying the oppressive nature of cat calling construction workers. Once the camera looks up from crotch-level, however, the heart of the story is woman’s endurance though toxic masculinity and patriarchal capitalism. Navigating the mob, the media and over/undersexed characters, the dry absurdist comedy turns this series into a loveable and bingeable story.

Lovibond plays Joyce’s idealism and arrogance perfectly, drawing us in to laugh at her unrealistic dreams while rooting for her to succeed in them. She also gives her a needed innocence when she navigates the business world, making decisions she knows could be mistakes but allowing herself the freedom (indulgence?) to step outside the rigidity she usually maintains.

Paired with Jake Johnson as Doug, the financer of Minx and mastermind of the business, she’s balanced by his straightforward and impulsive approach. Rounding off the cast with a diverse group of talented actors playing Zany Characters are Upright Citizens Brigade alum Lennon Parham, the commanding Idara Victor and Oscar Montoya, who brings joyful laughter every time the camera pans to him. Well, and the aforementioned multitude of dicks. Writer and creator Ellen Rapoport (whose previous work includes Clifford the Big Red Dog) brings to life a story easily enjoyed as purely indulgent entertainment or deep, nuanced and poignant lessons foreshadowing contemporary society.

You’ll laugh either way. HBO MAX. l Tiggerbouncer Custodio (he/she/ they) is an empowered queer Indigenous Filipino artist whose works have been seen on Humboldt stages and elsewhere.

SECOND AMENDED NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF DAVID J. SOMERVILLE, a/k/a DAVID JOHN SOMERVILLE CASE NO. PR2200097 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of DAVID J. SOMERVILLE, a/k/a DAVID JOHN SOMERVILLE A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Petitioner DAVID A. SOMERVILLE II In the Superior Court of California, County of Humboldt. The petition for probate requests that DAVID A. SOMERVILLE II be appointed as personal representative to admin− ister 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 May 12, 2022 at 1:31 p.m. at the Superior Court of California, County of Humboldt, 825 Fifth Street, Eureka, in Dept.: 6 Effective Monday, May 18, 2020, Humboldt Superior Court will resume Probate calendars using remote video and phone confer− encing. You have been served with a Notice of Petition to Administer Estate pursuant to which a court

held on May 12, 2022 at 1:31 p.m. at the Superior Court of California, County of Humboldt, 825 Fifth Street, Eureka, in Dept.: 6 Effective Monday, May 18, 2020, Humboldt Superior Court will resume Probate calendars using remote video and phone confer− encing. You have been served with a Notice of Petition to Administer Estate pursuant to which a court hearing has been scheduled. Due to the COVID−19 pandemic, if you wish to appear at the court hearing, you must do so remotely. Instructions to appear remotely are set forth on the Court’s website: 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. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
