No Thanks to Biomass

Editor: In your article on organic waste (“All Hands on Deck,” July 21), you said that S.B. 1383 requires cities to procure certain amounts of compost, mulch, bioenergy and biofuel. The regulation doesn’t require jurisdictions to take some of each. It’s a smorgasbord, not a meal where Mom dishes it out and you have to eat everything on your plate. That’s good, because our local bioenergy may be renewable, but it’s neither clean nor carbon free. It’s time we start saying, “No thanks.” Biomass plants are federally designated major sources of pollutants with emission standards based not on public safety but on the EPA’s finding that the best available controls can’t make them any cleaner than coal. Biomass pollution doesn’t just harm people living nearby. Fine particulates, which cause heart attacks, asthma attacks, cancer and premature death; stay in the air for many days and travel hundreds of miles. Humboldt Redwood Co.’s biomass plant down in Scotia burns mill waste, not slash or thinnings, so it doesn’t prevent forest fires. Instead, it increases the risk of fire by emitting tons of greenhouse gas that will not be reabsorbed from the atmosphere fast enough to avoid climate catastrophe. We don’t need biomass. Even counting methane leaks from gas wells and pipelines, our PG&E gas plant emits far less carbon and pollution per kilowatt hour. There are less-polluting, low- and even negative-carbon uses for mill waste. Five years ago RCEA’s RePower Plan included planning to end biomass combustion. Last year, instead of making a plan, they took a second helping and extended the biomass contract to 2030. RCEA must commit publicly now to no expansion of biomass before 2030 and no extension afterward. Wendy Ring, Bayside

Grateful for Composting Options Editor: Thank you, Iridian Casarez, for your article on what I would call commercial composting (“All Hands on Deck,” July 21). I have had backyard composting since the late 1970s. However, as I get older, I may not be able to maintain that system that makes my yard healthy. Hopefully, there will be systems available for us to compost our home food waste. Now, I also understand why the Co-op invested in a composting system recently. I have just been taking things to the stores that

must be commercially composted since my backyard compost does not get hot enough for those items — mostly their food containers. Kathleen Pelley, Eureka

In Praise of Mailbox

Editor: I’m impressed that Jennifer Fumiko Cahill hasn’t responded to all the letters her original piece (“It Might Be Time to Get Totally Motherfucking Unhinged,” June 2) has generated. She said what she has said — it’s good to know that she is confident in her opinion. Though I might disagree with an aspect of her method, I almost always agree with Jennifer’s take on social issues. I consider letters to the editor a healthful American art form. It’s unfortunate that some people get rather vociferous in their letters and responses — or even get feelings hurt. The beauty of public letters is that we have a platform to talk with each other — to exchange views, to critique, support, question and contradict. This is exactly what a healthy family does. As the wider Humboldt family, it should also help bind us together. My views in print have been challenged by people I adore. And I have certainly written to disagree with writers who I also happen to admire. Whoever puts themselves out there in print should realize that criticism is just as likely as praise (often more so). Criticism is perhaps the more valuable of the two, since it gives one the chance to re-evaluate or confirm one’s ideas. Happily, letters to the editor remain in print and very alive here in Humboldt. I appreciate the sensitivity of the Journal’s editorial staff in keeping truly hateful and repulsive writing out of their pages — while at the same time respecting and giving voice to the wide range of individual opinions that keep our county vibrant. Alan Sanborn, Arcata

Grateful for Input

Editor: Nordic Aquafarms has been working on the Samoa Project for over three years and looking forward to being before the Humboldt County Planning Commission this week (“Quantifying Impact,” July 14). Being transparent and readily available to the community has always been at the core of NAF’s work on the Samoa project. NAF has held many stakeholder meetings, open office hours, presented to over 40 organizations, site tours, public information meetings and responsive to all media requests. With each step forward, we will look to continue that open dialogue and

strengthen our relationship with the Humboldt community. Sharing the vision of a resilient food system with sustainable, environmentally friendly practices is what moves us toward the common goal of positive progress. The input from the forward-thinking individuals and organizations that have contributed to the EIR is pivotal in how we work together as a community. Our greatest chance of success is collaboration and for that, you have our gratitude. With this partnership, our hope for the future is that we have students and employees who are excited about new possibilities, and that we have clean, healthy fish on the market. The NAF land-based facilities are designed to sustainably farm in a way that addresses many of the environmental impacts associated with more traditional fish farming methods in open water. It is our goal that the community has access to accurate information on the proposed facility throughout the permitting process. We hope that when people form an opinion on the project, they do so with an understanding of what we are proposing and why. The final EIR is available on the county website at www.humboldtgov.org/DocumentCenter/View/108020/Nordic-Aquafarms-Final-EIR and is the best source for information.

PlanCo Takes Up Aquafarms’ EIR Commission hears hours of public comment By Elaine Weinreb

The Humboldt County Planning Commission met July 28 to consider certifying Nordic Aquafarms’ Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) but, after three-anda-half hours of presentations and public comment, continued the meeting to Aug. 4. The hybrid meeting was plagued by technical difficulties, resulting at times in some commissioners being unable to speak, and requiring the postponement of the consent agenda. The Nordic Aqaufarms project seeks to build a large land-based facility on a currently contaminated industrial site owned by the Humboldt County Harbor, Conservation and Recreation District to raise Atlantic salmon. The project is described as a “recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) facility,” and includes the construction of five buildings, a 4.8-megawatt solar panel array and water intake and outfall facilities. Raised from eggs, the fish would not touch bay or ocean water at any point during their lives, swimming in indoor tanks and underwater pipes. Water would be filtered and sterilized by ultraviolet light both before it enters the facility and again before it leaves. The FEIR identifies many potential impacts, but states that they can all be reduced to insignificant levels. Many members of the audience did not agree with this conclusion, while others were less concerned with environmental issues and instead focused on the perceived economic benefits of the project. If the FEIR is accepted, Nordic Aquafarms would then seek a Coastal Development Permit. But that is just the first in a long series of agency approvals and permits needed before the project could break ground, with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the California Coastal Commission, the Regional Water Quality Control Board, the National Marine Fishery Service and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers all having a chance to

weigh in and vet various aspects of the proposal. County planner Cade McNamara, helped by other staff, reviewed the project for the commissioners at the July 28 meeting. He said the facility would require approximately 2.5 million gallons per day of fresh, untreated water provided by the Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District and sourced from the Mad River. The facility would also require approximately 10 million gallons of saltwater per day, which would be taken from Humboldt Bay. Approximately 12.5 million gallons of treated wastewater would be discharged daily via an existing ocean outfall pipe, which extends 1.5 miles offshore. Although two other facilities use the outfall pipe, it still has plenty of unused capacity, McNamara said. The site, zoned as Industrial and Coastal Dependent, is currently classified as a “brownfield,” meaning the area is polluted, and must be remediated before it can support any projects. Nordic intends to do this clean-up before it begins any further work on the project, demolishing existing buildings, and removing asbestos and lead from the soil. There are some environmentally sensitive habitat areas on or near the site, McNamara said. The “dune mat,” which consists of plants and animals mostly native to the area, is protected as part of the project design, and will be fenced off. Nordic must also compensate for damage to the longfin smelt, a small fish that is eaten by other aquatic animals, by building new habitat for it. A rare plant, the darkeyed gilia, must be replaced elsewhere at a ratio of three to one. To avoid tsunami

damage, tanks would be designed to withstand a “2,500-year hazard event,” and back-up generators will be elevated above the predicted wave height. However, the most controversial item in the FEIR is the project’s energy use, which is estimated to be 195 gigawatt hours per year at full build-out. (A gigawatt hour is one million kilowatt hours.) This is the approximate equivalent of the energy use of the entire cities of Eureka and Fortuna combined. Planning Director John Ford recommended approval of the project because it is a coastal dependent industrial use, conforms to the Humboldt Bay Area Plan, involves brownfield cleanup and, according to the FEIR, has minimized all environmental impacts to less than significant levels. The next presentation was given by Larry Oetker, executive director of the Harbor District. Oetker pointed out that state law gives the district equal standing to that of any county government, and it has its own list of permits and consultations when deciding whether to approve a project. Oetker had nothing but praise for the project. “This is some of the most vacant, under-utilized, contaminated, blighted pieces of property that we have in Humboldt County,” he said. “We’ve identified the clean, green, modern industries that are right for our community: wood products, aquaculture, broadband and offshore wind.” Nordic’s project, Oetker said, fits nicely into an array of other ongoing and planned improvements to the peninsula, including the introduction of broadband

cable, the proposed offshore wind farm and other aquaculture projects. He noted that the previous use by the pulp mills had left quite a lot of usable or salvageable infrastructure. For example, the outfall pipe, which Nordic hopes to use to drain wastewater, is already being used by several other tenants, including the wastewater treatment plant for the town of Samoa. “Any coastal city in the world would be impressed by these types of infrastructure,” he said. Next it was Brenda Chandler’s turn. Chandler is the interim CEO/CFO of Nordic and the public face of the project since the former president and vice president — Erik Heim and Marianne Naess — suddenly left the company in July with little explanation, three months after Nordic’s American facilities were split off from the original European company. Chandler emphasized the difference between Nordic’s land-based model and the net-pen facilities used by other companies, which raise fish in the ocean waters and have experienced many problems. The first land-based commercial RAS plant was built in Denmark in 2014 and raised yellowjack fish. This was followed by a salmon-rearing RAS plant in Norway a few years later, and then by a salmon RAS plant sited in Belfast, Maine, which is fully permitted but has not yet broken ground, and has been controversial among Belfast residents. Salmon, Chandler said, is a source of sustainable and healthy protein. She praised Nordic’s “proven recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) technology,” “highly experienced management team” and “strong design, build, and operate track record,” among other things. “We’re fitting into the Harbor District’s long-standing vision of an aquaculture park on the peninsula,” she said, praising the region’s cool, plentiful water, progres-

sive renewable energy policies and closeness to markets. Although salmon can live in both saltwater and freshwater, the company chose to use mostly saltwater to minimize the more precious freshwater supplies. “We want to be the employer and the neighbor everyone is proud of,” Chandler said. Nearly two hours into the meeting, the public was given its turn to comment. Since the meeting was hybrid, many speakers were present at Supervisors Chambers in the courthouse, while others waited on hold to phone in their ideas. Operating Engineers Local No. 3, a statewide union that represents the building trades, was heavily represented at the meeting, with about 17 speakers praising the project. Many of them said they had to leave the area to find decent-paying work, and looked forward to local jobs that pay a living wage. “Nordic did above and beyond what is required,” said Harry Herker, a member of the union. “They took a dilapidated pulp mill and are turning it into a viable industry. They’re going to provide 300 construction jobs, and then when the project is complete, 150 permanent full-time jobs.” Other locally known supporters included Kent Sawatzky, who comments on many topics at nearly every public county meeting; Larry Doss, who ran unsuccessfully for the Fifth District supervisorial seat; Rafael Cuevas-Uribe, a fisheries professor at Cal Poly Humboldt and Natalynne DeLapp; executive director of the Humboldt County Growers Alliance. John Friedenbach, general manager of the Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District, phoned in to give some perspective on the relatively “small” amount of Mad River water Nordic plans to use. The district, he said, was founded about 50 years ago to supply the pulp mills with 65

million gallons of water a day. When the mills closed, the water went unused, and now the state, under its “use it or lose it” policies, may want to ship the Mad River’s water to drier areas. Nordic’s 2.5 million gallons seems like a small amount in comparison to historic uses and he urged the commissioners to support the project. There were, however, also many residents who opposed the project on environmental grounds. Ten of them were from the organization 350 Humboldt, which is devoted to trying to slow down or halt climate change. Most of the group’s concerns centered on the project’s large energy demands. Although Nordic has promised to use renewable energy, there may not be enough of it available. The transmission grid in Humboldt is very limited, which would make importing renewable energy from other parts of the state impractical if not impossible. Some also questioned the large amount of refrigerant gases the project will require to chill the fish. Some of these gases, when they leak into the atmosphere, are a more potent driver of global warming than carbon dioxide or methane by a factor of 2,000, and Nordic has declined to identify which ones it will use. Humboldt is trying to reach state-mandated goals on reducing greenhouse gas emissions but, if the proposed offshore wind farm is not up and running by the time Nordic is ready to roll and Nordic is unable to obtain enough local renewable energy to meet its needs, the company will have to rely on fossil fuels. This would put a big crimp in Humboldt’s efforts to meet the state mandates. Jennifer Knight, a member of the local climate change action group 350, also believes the greenhouse gas cost of fish food for the salmon has been grossly underesti-

mated in the FEIR. CEQA does not require greenhouse gas calculations for products made outside California. Fish food was mentioned in several other contexts as a problem. Salmon is at the top of the marine food chain, which means it eats a large number of small fish that feed Indigenous people around the world. Growing salmon commercially could be seen as a form of social injustice, since it deprives poor people of needed protein to provide wealthy people with a luxury food. Other people noted that if an outbreak of diseases occurred in the fish tanks, Nordic would mix antibiotics in the fish food, and wondered if this would lead to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Other people suggested modifying the project, starting out with a smaller endeavor and gradually increasing its size. Several people thought it would be wise to require a $500 million performance bond from Nordic, just in case it went belly-up and left the county with a mess to clean up. About the same number of speakers opposed the project as supported it. By 9:39 p.m., the meeting had been going on for nearly four hours. After the public comment period ended, Commissioner Brian Mitchell said he was phoning in from the East Coast, where it was after midnight. The commissioners, who had not had a chance to discuss any of this material, quickly voted to continue the meeting to Aug. 4, when they will pick up the conversation. l Elaine Weinreb (she/her) is a freelance journalist.

The Yurok Tribe Offers ‘Blueprint’ to End the MMIP Crisis

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Aug. 4, 2022 • northcoastjournal.com

y the time the news came in mid-October of 2021, Blythe George was already immersed in the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous people. A Yurok tribal member with a PHD from Harvard serving as an assistant professor of sociology at University of California at Merced, George had already spent more than two years working on the tribe’s project to quantify and examine the MMIP epidemic in California. Funded through a U.S. Department of Justice grant and known as To ‘Kee Skuy ‘Soo Ney-Wo-Chek’ (Yurok for, “I will see you again in a good way”), the project had already published two reports. The first collected data from disparate sources to show Indigenous women and girls go missing at disproportionately high rates, particularly in Northern California, and that their murders are six times less likely to be solved, often due to a “pervasive” failure of law enforcement to investigate due to a myriad of factors, from jurisdictional confusion and rural landscapes to generational trauma and mistrust. The second annual report focused on including victims of all genders and orientations, replacing the term Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls with Missing and Murdered Indigenous People, and areas for prevention and intervention. George and colleagues were researching the program’s third and final report last fall when, during a routine phone call, Program Manager Kendall Allen-Guyer broke the news: Their mutual acquaintance, Allen Guyer’s cousin and George’s friend, Emmilee Risling, a 32-year-old mother of two, a University of Oregon political science graduate and ceremonial singer and dancer, was missing. A Yurok descendent and enrolled Hoopa Valley tribal member, Risling has deep ties on both reservations, including ones that threaded throughout the MMIP project. She’d helped out with George’s first book, was a part of Allen

Guyer’s and even babysat Yurok Tribal Police Chief Gregory O’Rourke. At a July 29 event to commemorate the release of the project’s third report, George explained that Risling’s disappearance hit with devastating impact, at once underscoring the importance of the project’s work to address the MMIP crisis and making it feel somehow hollow. “It feels too little, too late,” George said. But rather than shy away from the fact that the work had suddenly became intensely personal, George and her colleagues leaned into it, deciding to make part of the third report a case study on Risling’s story. Suddenly, the team was experiencing the things they’d be studying from a difference in real time. “The work couldn’t be fast enough and we were learning in real time where it was falling short, where balls were being dropped,” George said. The result of that painstaking work is the 169-page report released July 29, which is designed to serve as a blueprint for addressing the crisis, giving tribes and communities steps to follow to better collect data on the epidemic and investigate cases, while also working to prevent them from happening altogether. It includes step-by-step guides on how to create customized community response plans that can be scaled and adapted, as well as a handful of concrete state policy proposals to remove “systemic barriers” that hamper tribes’ ability to keep their people safe. First, the report calls on the Legislature to pass a bill by Assemblymember James Ramos that would create a “Feather Alert,” similar to the Amber and Silver alert systems created to spread word about at-risk missing children and seniors but for tribal members. The report also supports Gov. Gavin Newsom’s proposed $15 million budget proposal for the Yurok Tribal Court to build a culturally informed wellness center, which could

offer holistic mental health and drug treatment services. The report also strongly supports efforts to grant tribal police the same authority to enforce state law as other police officers, as well as efforts to give them access to the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System, which, known as CLETS, allows agencies to access statewide and national databases. These policy priorities are starting points, Yurok Tribal Chair Joseph James told the Journal. “We won’t stop there,” he said. “It’s not enough. It’s not our way [to allow people to go missing], it’s not the Indigenous way. We’re here to care for one another, to look out for one another.” Sometimes through the painful hindsight that came with missteps in the investigation of Risling’s disappearance, the report also has direct, tangible tips for families and law enforcement officers making or taking missing persons reports. For example, the report notes that while Risling was reported missing to the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office, which entered her information in the local system, the information was not uploaded to the California Department of Justice website or the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System to make sure it was broadcast and accessible to other

jurisdictions. “Making sure that the law enforcement agency taking the report enters the corresponding details in both places is essential because these data systems do not speak to one another,” the report states. Perhaps the most powerful aspect of the study of Risling’s case included in the report are the testimonials from her loved ones, who describe a feeling of hopelessness as they watched her mental health issues compound and cascade in a system that was maddeningly incapable of “making her safe,” as George puts it. The report notes that Risling’s dual diagnosis of mental health and substance use issues presented roadblocks to getting her mental health care, while the courts seemingly ignored pleas from prosecutors and family members to order her into some type of mental health treatment. The result, the report found, is that while Risling’s mental health seemed to deteriorate, resulting in repeated law enforcement contacts, arrests and court appearances, no one effectively intervened to get her help. The report makes clear truly addressing the MMIP epidemic is a massive undertaking, one that demands immediate policy changes like those described above, but also community-based solutions aimed at preventing trauma

and providing culturally informed care without law enforcement intervention. Dubbed a “tool kit,” the report is aimed at giving communities a primer on how to make incremental and lasting change. While some at the July 29 unveiling of the project report — as well as a community mural led by artist Claudi Bernardi to serve as a “multi-layered depiction of the tragedy of silenced voices — dubbed the event a chance to “celebrate” the hard work of the project team, Laura Woods saw it differently. A community outreach specialist with the Yurok Tribal Court, Woods said the good work should be recognized but celebration is premature. “We’ll come together some day and celebrate the end of this program because it’s no longer needed,” she said.

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Aug. 4, 2022 • northcoastjournal.com

ecent evidence reveals that California has surrendered to the climate crisis, so prospects for our grandchildren’s future look grim. For example, this year the Assembly and state Senate passed no effective climate legislation. Lawmakers ignored climate’s effect on wildfires, floods, drought and soaring temperatures. Worldwide temperatures are now 1.2 degrees Celsius above historic levels, headed for 3.6 degrees by 2100. Given damage already apparent, imagine year 2100 at 3.6 degrees. It’s not that lawmakers don’t know. Sen. Mike McGuire’s Senate Concurrent Resolution 53 declares, “The climate emergency threatens the state, the nation, the planet, the natural world, and all of humanity.” Fifteen cosponsors — unfortunately only 15 — have joined this declaration, but its mere words don’t do anything to arrest the emergency. There have been fires here long before it was California, but it’s only with the climate crisis they’ve grown to be such conflagrations. Another ineffective bill, Senate Bill 884, supports PG&E to underground its distribution lines, but does nothing to slow conflagrations. PG&E’s plan also ignores how other utilities have insulated overhead lines cheaper and faster. So this bill

may reduce fires that PG&E starts, but it won’t do anything to help conflagrations. At the heart of the climate crisis are carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels like gasoline and natural gas. Climate solutions are multifaceted. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says that to keep temperatures below disastrous levels, we need to take all possible actions. Which actions? IPCC results are complex, but the Massachusetts Institute of Technology offers a more accessible, online model called En-ROADS (www.en-roads.climateinteractive.org/scenario.html?v=22.5.1). Anyone can test solutions and users find that one indispensable component of success is a high price on carbon dioxide pollution. Wind and solar are already cheaper than fossil-powered electricity. So why isn’t California using more? Partly, it’s because NIMBYs oppose solar and wind power, and partly it’s because utilities don’t make enough money on solar and wind. Sadly, government also colludes with corporations and crisis supporters. Rooftop solar has arguably been America’s most successful program, but the Public Utilities Commission’s plan to block it assures California can’t meet its climate goals. Claiming falsely that poor people subsidize rich owners of solar roofs, PG&E

VIEWS

seeks rules that make rooftop solar uneconomic. Over a decade ago, the California Air Resources Board initiated its cap and trade program. The theory was that bidding for limited rights to pollute — under a cap that turned out too high — would encourage firms to emit less carbon dioxide. But because too many pollution rights were granted, the price is too low and carbon dioxide emissions aren’t declining fast enough. CARB’s governing board and the agency itself have ignored outside expert advice to improve cap and trade. California’s largest source of carbon dioxide pollution is transportation, but CARB has even questioned the governor’s electric vehicle proposal. Lawmakers and California agencies aren’t alone in their inaction. Most citizens haven’t taken meaningful steps, either because incentives don’t encourage them to do so or maybe because they don’t care. Anyway, by now individual action isn’t enough. At this late stage, only enlightened government policy will convince us to forgo fossil fuels. Humboldt County mirrors California’s broader challenge. Even our more thoughtful county supervisors oppose steps to arrest the climate crisis. Their most egregious vote several years ago rejected Terra-Gen’s wind project, located at the county’s best wind site and right-sized for Humboldt County. Terra-Gen alone wouldn’t have solved the world’s climate problem but it would have helped keep our lights on. Supervisors agreed with Terra-Gen opponents that it was unattractive, on sacred ground and financed by greedy capitalists. Environmentalist Tim McKay would be appalled if he were alive today. More recently, supervisors rejected expert testimony to make the McKay Ranch housing development all electric and, instead, chose to tie it to polluting natural gas. Curiously, builders’ costs would have been lower to install electric appliances rather than gas. A bright spot is Rep. Jared Huffman’s strong stand on climate at the federal level. Unfortunately, he doesn’t get enough support in Washington, D.C. Why do lawmakers ignore climate science and economics, and fail to legislate? I conclude they happily accept fossil lobbyists’ contributions and their self-serving claims. Hopefully, it’s not too late for us to speak louder than lobbyists do, and redeem our grandchildren’s future. l John Schaefer is an engineer with four decades of energy experience.

Corporations Aren’t People but They Can Be Psychopaths By Corinne Frugoni and Patty Harvey newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

anipulative, deceitful, aggressive, remorseless, lacking empathy and affect — all are classic definitions of psychopathic social behavior, according to psychiatric evaluations. These are traits also emblematic of today’s legal fictions called corporations — entities that have taken control of our democracy and our lives, entities that exist only for the purpose of increased revenue and profit, without innate moral impulse. It is time we finally grapple with the problematic status of “legal person” or “corporate personhood” now granted by law, and call corporate behaviors out for what they are and do. The financial power corporations wield, spending billions of dollars to lobby and litigate, exerts massive influence in the selection of judges, lawmaking and elected officials — to a degree far beyond the power of any of us as individuals. It also binds those legally bribed recipients to their will and bidding. Corporate power under the guise of constitutionally sanctioned “personhood” has invaded every aspect of individual life in our nation — criminal justice, education, environment, housing, press and media, health and safety. To maximize profits, they control availability and cost of consumer goods, from gasoline to prescription drugs to infant formula. Subsidized by taxpayer dollars, they manipulate and corrupt regulatory processes with the goal of attaining total privatization of all public amenities. The ultimate goal is restricting the role of government solely to that of maintaining military and police power. There is such a thing as common good that is necessary in a productive, healthy and stable society. We all need housing, safe food and air, health care, education and dependable infrastructure. Privatizing these amenities makes them available only to the wealthy, weakening the whole of society and creating anger, frustration and cynicism with democracy itself. Now, with corporations as “persons,” it is extremely difficult to curtail their profit-driven activities. For example, those of us working for healthcare justice through the formation of a unified, publicly financed, universal healthcare system, face the prospect of corporate healthcare insurance companies taking refuge from accountability for waste, abuse and fraud — by posing as “persons” with equal constitutional rights to “privacy” and freedom from “discrimination.” Already, as “persons” with free speech and equal protection under the law, corporations feel

blameless in marketing cigarettes and other dangerous and unhealthy products to children, desecrating the environment, loosening gun laws and a whole plethora of antisocial, destructive-but-profitable endeavors. Turning corporations into persons began gradually. In the 1886 U.S. Supreme Court decision Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad, the court appeared to grant a corporation the same rights as an individual under the 14th Amendment. Since that time, judges have acted in accordance with the concept of “corporate personhood,” allowing companies to hold property, enter contracts, to sue and be sued, just like a human being — striking down local, state and federal laws designed to protect actual citizens from corporate harm. Since then, hundreds of decisions favoring corporate interests have been enshrined in the fiction that, as “persons,” corporations enjoy such constitutional rights as free speech, religious freedom, privacy and protection from discrimination and self-incrimination. In a sweeping expansion of corporate rights, the 2010 case of Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (FEC), SCOTUS ruled that political speech by corporations is a form of free speech that is covered under the First Amendment. Money itself was enshrined as “speech.” Thus has evolved SCOTUS’s complicity as handmaiden to corporate hegemony. Witness SCOTUS’s recent evisceration of the Environmental Protection Act and overturning New York gun regulations. As well, corporations now may hide behind the safeguards against regulatory searches stated in the Fourth Amendment. This ruling dramatically expanded the already outsized political influence of wealthy donors, corporations and special interest groups, and allowed the creation of super PACS where the source and spending of monies is secret. Since the Citizens United decision, Move to Amend was created as a national, non-partisan, grassroots organization that seeks to blunt corporate power by amending the United States Constitution to end corporate personhood. HJR (House Joint Resolution) 48, introduced by Rep. Pramila Jayapal in 20212022, proposes such an amendment stating the rights protected by the Constitution are the rights of natural persons only. This amendment requires federal, state and local governments to regulate election contributions and expenditures, and requires that any such contributions be publicly disclosed. It

also prohibits the judiciary from construing the spending of money to influence elections to be speech under the First Amendment or abridging the freedom of the press. HJR 48 is currently under consideration with 100 co-sponsors in the House and 25 in the Senate. Even as a U.S. Supreme Court reversal is unlikely and a constitutional amendment to undo Citizens United would be difficult, there are still interim policy solutions available. HR1, the For the People Act, passed the House in 2021 but was stymied in the Senate. That bill would expand voting rights, change campaign finance laws to reduce the influence of money in politics and ban partisan gerrymandering. Only public pressure will force our representatives in the Senate to end the filibuster and pass this bill while we work on amending the Constitution. In our first paragraph, above, we identified the hallmarks of psychopathic corporate behavior.

McKinley’s Homecoming

Buckle up for a Busy Month in Sacramento

elcome to the final countdown. On Aug. 1, state lawmakers reconvened in Sacramento after a monthlong summer recess — during which some traveled abroad on trips funded by special interest groups that lobby them on various issues — for the final, frenzied month of the legislative session. Legislators face an Aug. 31 deadline to determine the fate of hundreds of bills. Hanging over the high-intensity process is the Nov. 8 general election, which could affect how some lawmakers — especially those vying for contested seats in the state Assembly and Senate — vote on hot-button proposals. In a preview of the difficult decisions facing lawmakers, hundreds of fast food workers were set to rally at the state Capitol Sunday night in support of a bill that would permit the state to negotiate wages, hours and work conditions for an industry that employs an estimated 700,000 people. A similar measure failed to pass last year. The proposal, backed by labor unions and opposed by business and restaurant groups, has divided Democrats, some of whom are wary of broadly extending liability for labor violations from fast food franchise owners to the corporate chains they work with, CalMatters reporter Jeanne Kuang notes. But that’s just one of the many controversial bills before lawmakers, some of which faced votes as soon as Aug. 1. Here’s a look at some of the key bills CalMatters is watching, broken down by subject area:

• Abortion. With California voters deciding in November whether to enshrine the right to abortion and contraception

northcoastjournal.com/ncjdaily

in the state constitution, lawmakers are considering more than a dozen bills to increase access and strengthen protections. Perhaps the most contentious proposal is Oakland Democratic Assemblymember Buffy Wicks’ to prevent women from being held civilly or criminally liable for their pregnancy outcomes. Opponents have argued the bill would legalize infanticide, which Wicks says is categorically false. • Guns. Following the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent ruling dramatically expanding gun rights, Democratic lawmakers countered with a bill they said would comply with the opinion while also making California’s concealed carry law more restrictive. If passed, it’s all but certain to be hit with legal challenges from gun rights groups. • COVID. Legislators still have to determine the fate of some of the most contentious bills introduced by Democrats’ vaccine working group, including proposals to allow kids 15 and older to get vaccinated without parental consent and another to categorize doctors’ “dissemination of misinformation or disinformation” related to COVID-19 as unprofessional conduct. • Housing and homelessness. Gov. Gavin Newsom’s contentious proposal to force severely mentally ill Californians into treatment and housing is facing critical votes, as is a bill that aims to increase affordable housing construction but has divided influential labor groups. • Nursing homes. Lawmakers will consider a bill to reform California’s nursing home licensing system, whose sponsors say it was watered down so severely they can no longer support it. After a CalMatters investigation last year, legislators warned that “people are dying as we wait.” • Labor and workplace. Legislators have quite a few high-profile labor bills on

After being kept at an undisclosed location since being removed from the Arcata Plaza in the early morning hours of March 8, 2019, it appears the statue of President William McKinley is one step closer to regaining its place in the sun. The Canton Repository recently reported that the Timken Foundation of Canton, Ohio, which officially took custody of the bronze statue from the city of Arcata, has decided the Stark County Courthouse, where the 25th president once practiced law, should be the sculpture’s new home.

their hands, including one to allow their own staffers to unionize and another to force companies to publicly disclose more data about pay gaps. They will also decide, after two Newsom vetoes last year, whether to allow farmworkers to vote by mail in union elections and to increase payments from the state’s paid family leave program so more low-wage workers can take time off to care for a newborn child or sick family member. • Criminal justice. Amid an ongoing debate over criminal justice reform, legislators will consider a proposal to block prisons, jails and private immigration detention centers from holding people in solitary confinement for more than 15 consecutive days. They’ll also decide whether to limit prosecutors’ ability to seek either the death penalty or life without parole for accomplices in certain felony murders who neither killed nor intended to kill. • Environment.

packaging and foodware to be recyclable, reusable, refillable or compostable by 2030, lawmakers will determine whether to force online retailers to reduce the use of single-use plastics, such as bubble wrap and Styrofoam peanuts. • Internet and tech. The Capitol is bracing for a showdown over a pair of bills — both of which face intense pushback from the tech industry — to significantly expand kids’ privacy rights online and to allow public prosecutors to hold social media companies civilly liable for intentionally addicting youth. Lawmakers will also decide whether to slap regulations on the cryptocurrency industry.

In the world of cocktails, the Bloody Mary is a classic. And the classic place in Humboldt County to enjoy the salty, savory drink packing a spicy punch and a reputation for restorative powers is none other than the consummate downtown Arcata locale, the Alibi. But first things first, which side is calling your name — the airy restaurant or its next-door neighbor and alter ego the cocktail lounge with its old-school vibes? Never fear, there are no wrong answers here, which brings us to the second question: Which one of their famous Marys do you choose? While the original is always a safe bet, so is taking a little walk on the wild side with, perhaps, the Piggly Wiggly, a concoction of bacon vodka with Mary mix and a bacon strip. Not a vodka fan? Not a problem; there’s the Bloody Bobby made with gin or the Sangre Maria with a tequila kick. The list is long and varied, with a little something for everyone, which leaves no question why the Alibi’s Marys have laid claim to the Best of title.

BEST HIDDEN GEM, BEST MEXICAN RESTAURANT AND BEST TACOS:

COCINA MARIPOSA

As a Mexican American whose family is from Michoacán (shout out to Lombardía) and absolutely loves this restaurant, I was so excited to see Cocina Mariposa’s name top three categories. If it wasn’t for the “Mexican Restaurant” flag signaling a restaurant at the golf course on Fairway Drive, you’d totally miss it. Cocina Mariposa has it all: a great variety of tasty agua frescas, including classics like Jamaica and horchata; burritos (which aren’t Mexican, just FYI); classic combination plates that come with arroz y frijoles; chile rellenos the way my mom made them with cotija cheese instead of Oaxaca cheese; nachos that are just *chef’s kiss*, salsas that are so freaking delicious and the right amount of spicy (which you can also buy in 8-ounce containers!); and the absolute best tacos in Humboldt County. Taco Tuesdays at Cocina Mariposa keep chef and owner Marisela Carillo and her mom Graciela Salas super busy because customers know their tacos are simply THE BEST. When it’s not Tuesday, Cocina Mariposa’s tacos are served on handmade tortillas and absolutely nothing beats tacos made with handmade tortillas. Nothing. I will fight anyone who says otherwise. Honestly, I think this place is the best Mexican Restaurant in Humboldt County and I’m so glad BOH voters thought so, too. Congratulations to Carillo for her triple triumph! — Iridian Casarez

CATE BE

Serious question: Can a mug make you feel seen? The rounded heft of one handmade Cate Be mug features a woman weeping Saturn-like rings into the starry background and reads, “Cries a lot and gets shit done.” One states, “Access to my energy is a privilege,” while another shows a figure hugging themselves in the mirror. “I like to say it’s an amalgamation of everything I’ve opened my heart to,” says Be, whose work reflects her personal journey, uses warm, natural palettes and hand-drawn designs that make the affirmations that resonate with her customers feel personal. Some address equality, sexuality and identity — issues the self-described Asian and Indigenous artist wants “to see out in the world expressed in an artistic form.” Her degree in ecological restoration with a minor in botany has inspired a crop of mycological pieces, including beautiful mushroom-festooned vessels, elegant bowls and cannabis pipes and ashtrays she describes as ritual pieces. Sometimes that’s what we need: little rituals, simple as a cup of tea. — Jennifer Fumiko Cahill

BEST HOLIDAY LIGHT DISPLAY:

FERNDALE

MUSICIAN

The Victorian Village of Ferndale is a thing to behold at Christmastime. Indeed, there’s something transcendent about a small town decked out in its holiday best, with carolers a-wassailing and brass bands root-a-toot-tooting on street corners as smiling folks window shop and sip hot cocoa. Bedford Falls, meet Ferndale. The town’s 100-year-old farmhouses festooned with strings of lights are postcard perfect. Not to mention the rows of Victorian storefronts and houses draped in their holiday dressings. And let’s face it, nothing beats that tree. You know the one — the towering Sitka spruce sentry, lit from trunk to tip, that watches over the town at the end of Main Street, casting its lovely glow over everything come December. It’s no surprise you’ve voted the Cream City the Best Holiday Light Display for 2022.

QUALITY BODY WORKS

Quality Body Works has won NCJ’s Best Auto Body Shop for the past six years and the BOH voters know exactly why. With more than 40 years of service in Humboldt County, Quality Body Works offers quality collision and autobody repairs. It’s the local factory-certified repair facility for Ford, Honda, Nissan, Chrysler, Subaru, Dodge RAM, Jeep, Acura, KIA, Fiat and Acura. Even if your car’s

make isn’t on the list, the shop will ensure your vehicle’s repair is of the utmost quality. The staff are also very responsive and communicative about the entire vehicle repair process from the first estimate to contacting and negotiating with insurance agencies and through all the repairs. As someone who’s gone to Quality Body Works for auto repairs, I can say the voters once again got it right. — Iridian Casarez

BEST GARDEN SUPPLY STORE AND BEST NURSERY:

PIERSON’S GARDEN SHOP Pierson’s Garden Shop is a paradise. The place is filled with so many different plants for purchase, from tropical plants to succulents and cacti to beautiful flowers and shrubs, and even trees. They’ve also got vegetable and fruit starters to transplant into your home vegetable garden — full disclosure, my partner and I always come out of Pierson’s Garden Shop with at least one new plant — and Pierson’s sells seeds if you really want to start from scratch. It’s loaded with all the supplies you’ll need to keep your plants alive and looking good, like cute and classic pots in all shapes and sizes, the right kind of soil and fertilizer, and wonderful decorations to install in your garden. Pierson’s will meet all your gardening dreams and desires, which is why it’s no surprise Pierson’s Garden Shop won both of these categories. Even if you weren’t blessed with a green thumb, Pierson’s is the place for you and all your gardening needs. — Iridian Casarez

BEST WEDDING ENTER MOBILE T A I N MENT

Whether it’s the charming guest rooms with their antique wood furniture and Tiffany lamps, or the bar terrace with its vistas of the Eel River and endless redwoods, the Historic Benbow Inn offers plenty of “wows” after you’ve said your vows. The classic Tudor exterior of the nearly 100-yearold Historic Register Resort in the heart of Humboldt’s redwood country is but one of many picture-perfect elements that won readers’ votes. Enjoy complimentary tea and scones in the antique-laden grand room with roaring fireplace a crumb’s throw from the bar and lounge, or step outside onto the patio to catch live music during the summer as you

BEST Wedding Caterer

sip cocktails and link pinkys with your love. Cuisine in the dining room draws people from miles away and the inn offers plenty to do after you’ve said, “I do.” For instance, there is river access steps away and the towering old growth redwoods in Founders Grove are just a few minutes by car. There’s also a golf course close by. And if all you want to do for your wedding night is your new spouse, well, the inn’s got you covered there, too. Book a room with a fireplace to set the mood and hang that Do Not Disturb sign on the door. — Kali Cozyris

BEST LOCAL CANNABIS PRODUCT:

SPACE GEM

The Humboldt cannabis consumer is nothing if not discerning. And so the folks at Space Gem should feel no small pride at their win. The company cranks out an array of solventless, THC-infused edibles flavored with fruit, including drops for drinks, tinctures and Mind Expanding Belts of gummy canna-candy. The flagship product, though, is the little tin of bright, sparkly, 10-milligram Spacedrops. These single-source, ice-water hash dots are vegan and organic, and come in regular or sour, with blended flavors of pluot, blueberry, passionfruit, honeydew and mango. And, hey, now you can secure yours in a free lockbox from the Department of Health and Human Services Healthy Communities Division of Public Health, to keep them from little hands or sticky-fingered roommates. (Call 707-268-2132 for more information.) After all, the county’s best edibles are for grownups, not kids or some dude who won’t even replace the peanut butter. — Jennifer Fumiko Cahill

MURDER MOUNTAIN

I’m not judging, Humboldt, but I am concerned. Wait, sorry, I am judging. The Humboldt County Courthouse winning out against our bars and cafes as your favorite setting for your meet-cute isn’t a huge surprise, since the jail has held the title before. (FYI, not everybody there is single.) And last year’s champion break-up venue the Hatchet House was another sign that our county’s dating scene was rough. But damn, people — Murder Mountain is a dark turn. It’s time for extreme measures before we go any further with the true-crimepodcast vibes. That’s right, I’m giving romantic advice. Try meeting somebody at a local festival — you’ll start off with common interests, you can gauge their patience/propensity for violence standing in an insane line for food and learn immediately if they dance like that one guy up front at a jam band show. And for breakups, consider an ice cream joint. Nobody can make a scene or shout about anything too private with all those kids around and this was all probably going to end with a dairy binge anyway. And if they suggest a farewell drive to the mountains, say no. — Jennifer Fumiko Cahill

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Aug. 4, 2022 • northcoastjournal.com

iven the title of this article, you might think I’m going to talk about tomato hornworms, spittle bugs or aphids. OK, I will mention aphids but I want to talk to some of the less talked about pests. Let’s start with my worst pest for the past couple years: deer. Bambi. Rats with antlers, as I’ve heard them called. Though I prefer the term cloven hooved devil spawn. Sure, they’re cute when they stand there, staring as you slowly drive by and hope they don’t suddenly jump out on the road, thus ending their destruction, but also your car. The little spotted fawns? Adorbs! Until they start munching on your prized roses. Did you know roses are ranked No. 1 on the menu for Deer DoorDash? How to deter deer is the question. The only thing that seems to work well is an 8-foot fence and I’m talking secure fencing. T-posts and plastic deer fencing work well until it doesn’t. A branch can fall on the fence, leading to an incursion of CHDS (cloven hooved devil spawn). Cattle panels work great but it’s a little pricey

to fence an acre or more. Some folks prefer to use a strong smelling soap like Irish Spring. Others like the deer repellent available at local nurseries. I admit those deter me because they rather reek of rotten eggs, which happens to be one of the ingredients. You can make your own deer repellent but you must reapply regularly, especially if it’s rained or misted. Fence. It’s the only sure deterrent but it must be secure. Deer will crawl under fencing that isn’t stapled down. Ask me how I know. OK, dogs are also a deterrent but unless you have a real livestock guardian dog and you don’t mind Rover staying out all night in your yard, we’re back to — yup — fence. You could also plant things deer don’t like or prefer to eat. What plants do deer not like? I HAVE NO IDEA BECAUSE THEY EAT EVERYTHING IN MY GARDEN. Well, not everything. They don’t like dahlias, believe it or not, nor squash plants, though they may take a nibble here or there. Rhododendrons and azalea are also not high on the list of favorite plants for deer. Ask your local nursery staff if they have ideas or suggestions. I always joke that if they want to find out if a plant is truly deer

resistant, they can give me one to plant in my yard/garden and I’ll get back to them. Next on my hit list? Nemesis No. 2: gophers. Those little rodents can clear out an entire bed of garlic if it’s not protected by hardware cloth. Not chicken wire, which rusts out in just a few years. Raised beds with hardware cloth are the only way I’ve found to deter those little bucktoothed munchers. Unless you happen to have a great blue heron hanging around, because they love to hunt ground-dwelling rodents. You can also use traps. Some don’t kill the buggers but most do. I know, I know. I’m not fond of killing wildlife to have a garden. But if you choose to draw a line in the mulch, my preferred traps are those black tube ones or the GopherHawk, which is the best by far. You can find those in local nurseries and you don’t even have to touch the rodent once the trap has done its job. Next up? Mosquitoes. You may have noticed an excess of mosquitoes here on the coast this spring and summer. Our late rains and drizzle over the past couple of months mean the mosquitoes are out in force. Did you know that they can reproduce in as little as a bottle cap of water? They can. There’s probably standing water in your gutters, in your garden pots or perhaps a tarp covering firewood. You need to dump all that water out. If you have a pond or trough with water in it, you can use BT (Bacillus thuringiensis), which is safe for fish, pets, birds and other wildlife. It comes in “dunks,” pellets and liquid form. Read the label to find out the proper amount to use. Also, encourage bats in your yard or garden. Bat houses can be mounted under the eaves of the south end of your house. It helps if it’s near a water source and more than 10 feet off the ground — 20 feet is ideal, but not everyone has a two-story house. A single bat will eat between 6,000-8,000 insects per night — that’s a lot of mosquitoes. Oh, let’s not forget aphids. I’ve heard from friends and clients that it’s a bad year for aphids. Easy peas-y. Spray the affected plant with a strong blast of water from a garden hose. Then encourage ladybugs to come to your yard. No herbicides, no pesticides. Plant things ladybugs adore, such as dill, parsley and fennel, and you’ll attract them to eat those aphids, too. Gardening is a messy business but there are ways to better coexist with wildlife, and keep them away from your precious roses and tomatoes. ●

Changes Coming to Sport Rockfish Regulations in 2023

n response to recent scientific information suggesting some nearshore groundfish species are in decline, significant changes to California’s groundfish sport fishing regulations are expected starting next year, according to a press release issued by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The upcoming changes were developed by the Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC) to reduce pressure on these stocks, resulting in shorter fishing seasons in nearshore waters, but new opportunities in deeper water. In 2022, nearshore groundfish fishing season lengths ranged from eight to 10 months, but in 2023, they are expected to shrink to not more than five-and-a-half months in all areas. Within the 10-fish daily combined rockfish, cabezon and greenling bag limit, the sub-bag limits of one fish each for quillback and copper rockfish, and four fish for vermilion rockfish will continue in 2023. These sub-bag limits have been in effect since January of 2022 and were necessary because new information in 2021 indicated severe declines in the populations of quillback and copper rockfish off California, and recreational vermilion rockfish catch continued to be greater than sustainable harvest limits. While groundfish fishing seasons will be shorter for nearshore waters and some bag limits are reduced, new opportunities to fish in deeper water beginning in 2023 will allow anglers to target healthy populations of shelf and slope rockfish in deeper waters, like schooling mid-water widow and yellowtail rockfish, or bottom-dwelling blackgill rockfish. “Next year is expected to bring a momentous shift in the sport groundfish fishery as all but one of the overfished shelf species that drove management decisions for the better part of the past two decades are now healthy,” said CDFW Environmental Program Manager Marci

SETLIST

Party Safe By Collin Yeo

music@northcoastjournal.com

ast week I made a sly appeal to the Fates, suggesting we could all use a little break from the chaos of the front page and the never-ending news cycle of battery and degradation. It’s tricky putting out overtures like that because the sincerity of desire and the hope of fulfillment is usually tempered with a natural human fear of asking too much from the gods. Sometimes I imagine the monkey’s paw from that classic horror story about cursed wishes coming true, one of its withered fingers curling toward the palm as some evil perversion of my prayers is sculpted into being. Oh, monkey’s paw, you are indeed the devil’s agent. I’m opening up with some morbid humor because that’s how I process things. The truth is, there have been too many young people passing away lately. I know of two whose deaths bookended July. When I was hoping for peace and communal gathering, I wasn’t talking about the peace of the grave and the collective mourning for the fallen. If you are reading this and have friends you haven’t checked up on lately, now is a great time to drop a line. If you are a local politician looking for an issue to rally around, harm reduction, drug potency testing, addiction support, therapy and counseling are all woefully inadequate in Humboldt. Maybe you can help fix that, be a hero. If you are a member of the community who was behind the push to suppress those forms of support, particularly those of you in law enforcement, I won’t say what’s on my mind because it’s probably unprintable but fix your heart — your soul is at stake. We have to end the age of punishment and accept mitigation and care instead. People are human and make mistakes; those attributes don’t have to be fatal. Not trying to be a bummer here, I just want to see your pretty faces at shows, not memorials. As I often say, look out for each other.

Thursday

The Sanctuary is presenting an installment of its Outdoor Minds summer concert series at the Arcata Marsh amphitheater today at 7 p.m. This all-ages gig will feature none other than local American primitivist Oryan Peterson-Jones, who will play a set from his lengthy songbook of human sounds from around the planet.

Friday

Sometimes I see a band name out there in the wild and am surprised it was just sitting there for the taking. Vancouver, B.C.’s Dumb has one of those names and the sound lives up to its moniker, as peals of noisy guitar whine over a propulsive, bopp-able beat. The vocals are punky and obnoxious as well, in just the right ways. Altogether, I give Dumb the thumbs up. You can come figure it all out for yourself at the Miniplex tonight at 9 p.m., when local yokels Over Yonder warm up the stage for the traveling Canucks ($10).

Saturday

Ooh, la la, it’s the return of yet another beloved local mini-fest put on by the fine people in the Humboldt Folklife Society. After a two-year hiatus because of you-know-why, the Buddy Brown Blues Fest is coming back to Perigot Park in Blue Lake to celebrate its 20th incarnation. The gates open at 10:30 a.m., and the line-up is a who’s-who of top notch, local blues talent, featuring Buddy Reed & th’ Rip It Ups, Mojo Rockers, Jim Lahman Band and many more. The pricing goes as follows: $15 for general admission, $12 for Humboldt Folklife Society members, $5 for kids, all reasonable rates across the board.

Sunday

Here’s a couple of 2 p.m. matinee gigs redolent with a certain scent of elegant sophistication. You get to choose between chamber music and the theater. The former is happening at Holy Trinity Church in Trinidad, where classical guitarist Jennifer Trowbridge joins tenor David Powell for an afternoon of Baroque pieces, featuring compositions by Bach, Scarlatti, Couperin and others. Tickets are $15-$30. Meanwhile, over at Synapsis, it’s the first weekend of Kathryn Cesarz and Jesse March’s physical theater comedy The Unstrung Harp, an adaptation of the work by Edward Gorey. Having been a huge Gorey-head since childhood, where his Amphigorey collections were among the most treasured items on my book pile, I am very curious to see what these two do with the story of the depressive and muddled novelist Mr. Earbrass, who attempts to write another piece on Nov. 18 during the alternate year in which he traditionally does so. It’s an absurd classic and worthy of the stage. It will also be playing next weekend if you really want to go Baroque today ($20).

Monday

Two bands steeped in the fusion jazz traditions of the 1970’s, with sounds that

Kathryn Cesarz and Jesse March, pictured here in a Dell’Arte performance, will get Gorey in The Unstrung Harp at Synapsis at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 7. Photo by Mark Larson, courtesy of the artists

embrace even more modern, electronic technology, will be stalking the stage at the Miniplex tonight at 7:30 p.m. San Diego’s Plexus Play will join Sharp 4 to grind out some hot and sparkling tunes with sounds from the aforementioned jazz fusion to modern glitch and electronica coughing out of the amps and PA speakers. This should be a bouncy one ($10).

Tuesday

Nothing feels more like the old times than settling into a seat in a bar that survived the last 30 months of economic calamity to hear a group of musicians run through the setlist of their weekly gig. Ah, the weekly gig. Few things hum with the mellow resonance of stable times than this institution whose very existence suggests a bankable future in which one

can have some semblance of comfort and routine. If you’d like to experience that pleasure, swing by The Speakeasy around 7 p.m. for a taste of The Opera Alley Cats. This jazzy one is, I believe, free.

Wednesday

Speaking of free jazz (as in live monetary investment, not style), the Penner siblings’ jazz group Young & Lovely will be doing it up at Old Growth Cellars starting at 6:30 p.m. As far as ensemble groups with an excellent live frisson and natural chemistry, these cats are it. l Collin Yeo (he/him) writes about the Humboldt music scene, where he has love and a great deal of fondness for more of you than you might think. He lives in Arcata.

SCREENS

Turning into Your Umma By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

UMMA. Intergenerational Asian American women’s trauma is having a big year at the movies. It felt like my daughter and I had barely wiped our eyes and shaken off the cringing giggles of Turning Red (2022), when we found ourselves visually and emotionally sandblasted by Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022). Both centered around Chinese American mothers and daughters with fraught relationships weighed down by the toxic coping skills that have been passed from one generation to the next. Writer-director Iris K. Shim’s Umma (2022), starring the enormously talented Sandra Oh, also dives into mother-daughter drama but as horror. Umma didn’t make it to theaters in our county but it’s just popped up streaming on Netflix. While Korean horror has a pale-knuckled chokehold on the genre, a Korean American ghost story with a Korean American writer, director and cast is something new to the mainstream, this one coming under Sam Raimi’s production company. It’s a solid, entertaining and potentially cathartic (watch with your mother at your own risk) supernatural horror that doesn’t go as deep into the darkness as Hereditary (2018), for which I’m grateful. But what it lacks in terror, it makes up for in its fresh point of view and thoughtful metaphors for other kinds of haunting. Amanda (Oh) has raised her teenage daughter Chris (Fivel Stewart) on a remote farm, keeping bees and selling honey through the local general store, for which Amanda also does bookkeeping. Danny (Dermot Mulroney), the shop’s owner, is their sole visitor, making pickups according to Amanda’s zero-electricity rules: nothing electrical, not cars, watches or phones, allowed. Her phobia is rooted in the abuse she suffered at the hands of her mother (MeeWha Alana Lee), who shocked her with a live wire after Amanda, then named Soo-Hyun, ran away, and it drove her to shut down power to the house and consign all its appliances to a basement graveyard when Chris was a baby. But even in her no-tech sanctuary, Amanda suffers disorienting nightmares about the mother

Same.

Umma

she finally escaped, and clings to Chris for comfort. As much as Chris cares for Amanda, she’s starting to look for her own life and connections beyond their insular bond, an inevitable separation for which Amanda isn’t ready. The peace, wobbly as it is, is broken when Amanda’s Korean uncle (Tom Yi) arrives, having impressively tracked her down despite her having no phone or email, and having ditched her Korean name. Her estranged umma (mother), he tells her with no small amount of scolding, died months ago, calling for Soo-Hyun in her last moments. He shames her for her disloyalty for abandoning her name, her culture and her mother — betrayals of filial duty he warns will leave her mother, whose rage and will he seems well acquainted with, trapped as an angry ghost that will poison Amanda’s life. He presents a suitcase containing her umma’s ashes and a few heirlooms to be honored and enshrined, its handle tied with a silk kerchief adorned with a nine-tailed fox spirit, the reddest of flags for supernatural danger. Shim is not revolutionizing horror here. The simple effects — the appearance of a figure, objects moving, the timeless creepiness of an antique mask — are low-budget staples used to strong effect as manifestations of a ghost, as well as the post-traumatic terror Amanda has been reliving alone for years. The metaphor of the ghost as past pain haunting a family isn’t new, but Shim’s take is through the perspective of Asian American experience: cultural and familial connections, where we hold onto or cut ties. As the spirit’s tricks drive a wedge between Amanda and Chris, the cycle of suffering and abuse is interestingly rendered in real and hallucinatory battles, with Amanda’s fight against her mother’s spirit bleeding over into interactions with Chris. Amanda’s desire to hold on is, of course, pushing her daughter away, as are the secrets she’s kept and the lies she’s constructed to keep Chris safe

(or, perhaps, just to keep her). Shim’s story also hones in on the isolation and sacrifice of an immigrant parent’s devotion to a child on the threshold of a world in which they themselves may not belong. Stewart makes herself small under Oh’s shadow and intensity, with Chris hiding her real self and desires under her own mask of obedience, baffled and accommodating Amanda’s erratic behavior with no information to go on, fed only the crumbling fictions that have kept her mother intact. Oh’s face does the work of an army, often in unsettling close-ups as she struggles to hold onto herself and careens between cowering and defiance, nurturing and cruelty. All this coming in at a tight 83 minutes sacrifices some development, and some of the exposition and epiphany feels easy and rushed at the end, like Amanda has been doing some heavy therapy offscreen. But the ever-compelling Oh makes it work. It’s a lot to ask of an electricity-free setting, but I wish — as I often do watching new movies — some of the action had been shot with a little more light and less of the darkness, which yielded more irritating confusion than mystery. And there it is: I sound just like my mother. PG13. 83M. NETFLIX. l Jennifer Fumiko Cahill (she/her) is the arts and features editor at the Journal.

LEGAL NOTICES NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF Jeanne Laverne Perkins CASE NO. PR2200207 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Jeanne Laverne Perkins A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Petitioner, Douglas L. Wilson In the Superior Court of California, County of Humboldt. The petition for probate requests that Douglas L. Wilson be appointed as personal repre− sentative to administer the estate of the decedent. THE PETITION requests the dece− dent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for exami− nation in the file kept by court. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held on August 11, 2022 at 1:31 p.m. at the Superior Court of California, County of Humboldt, 825 Fifth Street, Eureka, in Dept.: 6. For information on how to appear remotely for your hearing, please visit https://www.humboldt.courts. ca.gov/ IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objec− tions or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the dece− dent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the Cali− fornia Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in Cali− fornia law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE−154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

LEGALS?

LEGAL NOTICES NOTICE TO BIDDERS CONTRACTOR PREQUALIFICATION FOR: COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS RE-ENTRY RESOURCE CENTER PROJECT PROJECT #170223 Notice is hereby given that the County of Humboldt (COUNTY) has determined that all bidders on the Community Corrections Re-Entry Resource Project (Project #170223) to be undertaken by the COUNTY must be pre-qualified prior to submitting a bid on that project. The current estimate for the Project is approximately $22,750,000. No bid will be accepted from a Contractor that has failed to comply with the requirements of this NOTICE TO BIDDERS. Please note: Due to an extended review period for the construction documents, the list of prequalified contractors for this project from September of 2021 will expire prior to approval for bidding. Pursuant to Public Contract Code section 20101(c), prequalification shall be valid for one calendar year following the date of initial prequalification. As a result, the County is releasing this revised prequalification packet to refresh the list of prequalified contractors. All interested contractors, including those on the expiring prequalification list, are required to resubmit a prequalification packet for scoring and evaluation if they are interested in bidding on the project. Copies of the Contractor Prequalification Packet for the Community Corrections Re-Entry Resource Project, #170223 are available for download from the County’s website at: https://humboldtgov.org/Bids.aspx. Contractors are responsible for monitoring this website for addendums to the Prequalification Package and answers to timely submitted questions. The Prequalification Package may also be seen at Humboldt County Department of Public Works, 1106 Second Street, Eureka, California. The COUNTY makes no guarantees and assumes no responsibility for information obtained from and errors that may exist in copies of the Prequalification Package retrieved from any other source. Contractors shall possess a California Class B license to bid as the Prime Contractor on this project. It is mandatory that all Contractors who intend to submit a bid, fully complete the Application for Prequalification (included in this Prequalification Packet), provide all materials requested therein, and be approved by the County of Humboldt to be on the final pre-qualified bidders list. No bid will be accepted from a Contractor that has failed to comply with these requirements. If two or more business entities submit a bid as part of a Joint Venture or expect to submit a bid as part of a Joint Venture, each entity within the Joint Venture must be separately qualified to bid. The last date to submit a fully completed questionnaire is 5:00 p.m. on August 11th, 2022 (8/11/22). Contractors are encouraged to submit their completed Application for Prequalification as soon as possible to allow the COUNTY, at their sole discretion, to notify Contractors of omissions of information to be remedied, and notify Contractors of their pre-qualification status in advance of the bid advertisement for this project. Answers to questions contained in the attached questionnaire, information about current bonding capacity, notarized statement from surety, and the most recent reviewed or audited financial statements, with accompanying notes and supplemental information, are required. The COUNTY will use these documents as the basis of rating Contractors in respect to the size and scope of contracts upon which each Contractor is qualified to bid. The COUNTY reserves the right to check other sources available. The County of Humboldt’s decision will be based on objective evaluation criteria. The COUNTY reserves the right to adjust, increase, limit, suspend or rescind the pre-qualification rating based on subsequently learned information. Contractors whose rating changes sufficient to disqualify them will be notified and given an opportunity for a hearing consistent with the hearing procedures described below for appealing a pre-qualification rating. While it is the intent of the pre-qualification questionnaire and documents required therewith to assist the County of Humboldt in determining bidder responsibility prior to bid and to aid the COUNTY in selecting the lowest responsible bidder, neither the fact of pre-qualification, nor any prequalification rating, will preclude the COUNTY from a post-bid consideration and determination of whether a bidder has the quality, fitness, capacity and experience to satisfactorily perform the proposed work, and has demonstrated the requisite trustworthiness. One original and 3 copies of the Application for Prequalification shall be submitted to the address below. Digital copies and electronic submissions via email will not be accepted. The pre-qualification applications should be submitted under seal and marked “CONFIDENTIAL: PREQUALIFICATION SUBMITTAL PACKAGE FOR PROJECT #170223 – TIME SENSITIVE” to: Humboldt County Department of Public Works Attn: Thomas K. Mattson, Director 1106 Second Street Eureka, CA 95501

LS?

The pre-qualification applications (questionnaire answers and financial statements) submitted by Contractors are not public records and are not open to public inspection or public review. All information provided will be kept confidential to the extent permitted by law. However, the contents may be disclosed to third parties for purpose of verification, or investigation of substantial allegations, or in the appeal hearing. State law requires that the names of contractors applying for pre-qualification status shall be public records subject to disclosure, and the first page of the questionnaire will be used for that purpose. Each questionnaire must be signed under penalty of perjury in the manner designated at the end of the form, by an individual who has the legal authority to bind the Contractor on whose behalf that person is signing. If any information provided by a Contractor becomes inaccurate, it is the Contractor’s responsibility to immediately notify the COUNTY and provide updated accurate information in writing, under penalty of perjury. Any information that is determined to be incorrect will lead to disqualification of Contractor before or after bidding. The COUNTY reserves the right to waive minor irregularities and incidental omissions in the information contained in the pre-qualification application submitted. The COUNTY also reserves the right to make all final determinations, and to determine at any time that the pre-qualification procedures will not necessarily be applied to future public works projects. Contractors may submit completed Applications for Prequalification via mail or delivery service during regular working hours on any day that the offices of the Humboldt County Department of Public Works is open, to the address above. Contractors who submit a complete Application for Prequalification will be notified of their qualification status no later than ten (10) calendar days after receipt by the COUNTY. The COUNTY may refuse to grant pre-qualification where the requested information and materials are not provided, or not provided by 5:00 p.m. on August 11th, 2022 (8/11/22). There is no appeal from a refusal for an incomplete or late application, but re-application for a later project will be permitted. The closing time for bids or the acceptance of bids will not be changed in order to accommodate supplementation of incomplete submissions, or late submissions. Where a timely and completed application results in a rating below that necessary to pre-qualify, an appeal can be made. An appeal is begun by the Contractor delivering notice to the County of Humboldt of its appeal of the decision with respect to its pre-qualification rating, no later than 5:00 pm on the fifth calendar day following the day on which the notice of prequalification determination. Without a timely appeal, the Contractor waives any and all rights to challenge the decision of the County of Humboldt, whether by administrative process, judicial process or any other legal process or proceeding. Upon notice of disqualification, the Contractor will be notified of the basis for the prospective bidder’s disqualification and provided with any supporting evidence that has been received from others or adduced as a result of an investigation by the COUNTY. If the Contractor gives the required notice of appeal and requests a hearing, the hearing shall be conducted so that it is concluded no later than ten (10) calendar days after the COUNTY’s receipt of the notice of appeal, and no later than five (5) business days prior to the last date for the receipt of bids on the project. The hearing shall be an informal process conducted by a panel to whom the County has delegated responsibility to hear such appeals (the “Appeals Panel”). The Director of Public Works shall appoint, prior to commencing the prequalification process, three or more public employees, who have expertise regarding projects similar to this project, to serve as the Appeals Panel. The Contractor will be given the opportunity to present information and present reasons in opposition to the rating. Within two (2) business days after the conclusion of the hearing, and barring any external unforeseen conditions, the Appeals Panel will render its decision. It is the intention of the COUNTY that the date for the submission and opening of bids will not be delayed or postponed to allow for completion of an appeal process. Note: A contractor may be found not pre-qualified for bidding on a specific public works contract to be let by the COUNTY, or on all contracts to be let by the COUNTY until the contractor meets the COUNTY’s requirements. In addition, a contractor may be found not pre-qualified for either: (1) Omission of requested information or (2) Falsification of information * * * ** NOTICE: To contractors who are using subcontractors for this job, please be advised that the COUNTY may require, as to subcontractors, one of the following: ⦾ The qualification of subcontractors in the following crafts or trades, following acceptance of your bid, but before the award is made: ⦾ Pre-qualification of all subcontractors. ⦿ Pre-qualification of subcontractors in certain crafts. ⦾ Post-bid qualification review.

CROSSWORD 1

CROSSWORD by David Levinson Wilk

17 20

By Rob Brezsny

freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com

Homework: When it’s impossible to do the totally right thing, you can do the half-right thing. Example? Newsletter.FreeWikll.Astrology.com

Week of Aug. 4, 2022 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Fiction-writer John Banville tells us, “There are moments when the past has a force so strong it seems one might be annihilated by it.” I suspect that’s sometimes true for many of us. But it won’t apply to you Aries anytime soon. In fact, just the opposite situation will be in effect during the coming months: You will have more power to render the past irrelevant than maybe you’ve ever had. You will wield an almost indomitable capacity to launch new trends without having to answer to history. Take full advantage, please! TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Researchers have proved that lullabies enhance the health of premature babies being cared for in hospitals. The soft, emotionally rich songs also promote the well-being of the babies’ families. I bring this to your attention because I believe you should call on lullaby therapy yourself in the coming weeks. Listening to and singing those tunes will soothe and heal your inner child. And that, in my astrological opinion, is one of your top needs right now. For extra boosts, read fairy tales, eat food with your hands, make mud pies, and play on swings, seesaws, and merry-go-rounds. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Dancer and singer-songwriter FKA Twigs has taken dance lessons since she was a child. In 2017, she added a new form of physical training, the Chinese martial art of wushu. Doing so made her realize a key truth about herself: She loves to learn and practice new skills. Of all life’s activities, they give her the most pleasure and activate her most vibrant energy. She feels at home in the world when she does them. I suspect you may have similar inclinations in the coming months. Your appetite for mastering new skills will be at an all-time high. You will find it natural and even exhilarating to undertake disciplined practice. Gathering knowledge will be even more exciting than it usually is. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian author Laurie Sheck writes, “So much of life is invisible, inscrutable: layers of thoughts, feelings, and outward events entwined with secrecies, ambiguities, ambivalences, obscurities, darknesses.” While that’s an experience we all have, especially you Cancerians, it will be far less pressing for you in the coming weeks. I foresee you embarking on a phase when clarity will be the rule, not the exception. Hidden parts of the world will reveal themselves to you. The mood will be brighter and lighter than usual. The chronic fuzziness of life will give way to a delightful acuity. I suspect you will see things that you have never or rarely seen. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It’s always advisable for you Leos to carry on a close personal relationship with mirrors. I’m speaking both literally and metaphorically. For the sake of your mental health, you need to be knowledgeable about your image and monitor its ever-shifting nuances. And according to my analysis of the astrological omens, you are now authorized to deepen your intimate connection with mirrors. I believe you will thrive by undertaking an intense phase of introspective explorations and creative self-inquiry. Please keep it all tender and kind, though. You’re not allowed to bad-mouth yourself. Put a special emphasis on identifying aspects of your beauty that have been obscured or neglected. By the way, Leo, I also recommend you seek compassionate feedback from people you trust. Now is an excellent time to get reflections about your quest to become an even more amazing human. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): At your best, you are a flexible purist, an adaptable stickler for detail, and a disciplined yet supple thinker. Maybe more than any other sign of the zodiac, you can be focused and resilient, intense and agile, attentive and graceful. And all of us non-Virgos will greatly appreciate it if you provide these talents in abundance during the coming weeks. We need you to be our humble, understated leader.

Please be a role model who demonstrates the finely crafted, well-balanced approach to being healthy. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In my Astrological Book of Life, your life purposes as a Libra may include the following: 1. to be beautiful in the smartest ways you can imagine and smart in the most beautiful ways you can imagine; 2. to always see at least two sides of the story, and preferably more; 3. to serve as an intermediary between disparate elements; 4. to lubricate and facilitate conversations between people who might not otherwise understand each other; 5. to find common ground between apparent contradictions; 6. to weave confusing paradoxes into invigorating amalgamations; 7. to never give up on finding the most elegant way to understand a problem. PS: In the coming weeks, I hope you will make extra efforts to call on the capacities I just named. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Author Clive James loved the Latin term gazofilacium, meaning “treasure chamber.” He said that the related Italian word, gazofilacio, referred to the stash of beloved poems that he memorized and kept in a special place in his mind. In accordance with astrological omens, Scorpio, now would be an excellent time to begin creating your own personal gazofilacium: a storehouse of wonderful images and thoughts and memories that will serve as a beacon of joy and vitality for the rest of your long life. Here’s your homework: Identify ten items you will store in your gazofilacium. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Tips to get the most out of the next three weeks: 1. Keep your interesting options open. Let your mediocre options shrivel and expire. 2. Have no regrets and make no apologies about doing what you love. 3. Keep in mind that every action you perform reverberates far beyond your immediate sphere. 4. Give your fears ridiculous names like “Gaffe” and “Wheezy” and “Lumpy.” 5. Be honest to the point of frankness but not to the point of rudeness. 6. Don’t just run. Gallop. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn poet Richard Hugo wrote, “It doesn’t bother me that the word ‘stone’ appears more than 30 times in my third book, or that ‘wind’ and ‘gray’ appear over and over in my poems to the disdain of some reviewers.” Hugo celebrated his obsessions. He treated them as riches because focusing on them enabled him to identify his deepest feelings and discover who he really was. In accordance with astrological omens, I recommend a similar approach to you in the coming weeks. Cultivate and honor and love the specific fascinations at the core of your destiny. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Author Violet Trefusis (1894–1972) and author Vita Sackville-West (1892–1962) loved each other. In one letter, Violet told Vita, “I want you hungrily, frenziedly, passionately. I am starving for you. Not only the physical you, but your fellowship, your sympathy, the innumerable points of view we share. I can’t exist without you; you are my affinity.” In the coming weeks, dear Aquarius, I invite you to use florid language like that in addressing your beloved allies. I also invite you to request such messages. According to my reading of the planetary omens, you are due for eruptions of articulate passion. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I’d like to honor and pay homage to a past disappointment that helped transform you into a beautiful soul. I know it didn’t feel good for you when it happened, but it has generated results that have blessed you and the people whose lives you’ve touched. Would you consider performing a ritual of gratitude for all it taught you? Now is an excellent time to express your appreciation because doing so will lead to even further redemption. l
