‘A Basic Change of Attitude’

About Camping on Campus

Editor: Regarding the current and ongoing situation in Israel and Palestine, I realize that the following is not a blueprint for peace, and, what’s more, I realize the odds of it happening are next to nothing since decades of mutual grievances have resulted in a pit of hatred so deep that none of the participants can see a way out (Mailbox, Nov. 9). When this current war finally reaches a cease fire, the conditions that lead to it will still be there and will be even more intense. I would suggest that only a basic change of attitude on both sides will prevent the powder keg and pressure cooker that is Israel and Palestine from continuing to blow up, again and again. The basic change of attitude for each side would be a recognition that the other side deserves to freely and fully exist. Here is how that would be manifested.

Israel needs to abandon all settlements, land stolen from Palestine.

Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah each need to confirm Israel’s right to exist. Conditions would be imposed painful enough to validate their statements.

The rest will follow.

David Callow, McKinleyville

Editor: I must “borrow” Ellen Taylor’s phrase “embarrassing itself” as she replied in last week’s NCJ Mailbox (Nov. 9).

Referring to Thadeus Greenson’s report in this week’s issue (“‘Upside Down,’” Nov. 9): The same can certainly be said of Cal Poly Humboldt, evicting their homeless students who reside on the campus eight weeks shy one of student’s graduation?

Cal Poly made millions getting certified as a polytechnic university. Let’s get more students without even looking at where they would live. (Doesn’t matter, I guess, not their problem!)

They “fired the Arcata Fire Department” because they aren’t interested in student safety ... when the university got a one-time bill for a false alarm. The Arcata Fire Department had a contract to educate their students on fire safety, Cal Poly cancelled it!

Wendy Davis, McKinleyville Editor: The “camping on campus” students created a club to access more resources for something they, as students, were not supposed to be doing. Along came the university enforcement of something the university seemed to be looking the other way on. “I think the timing of everything is just a little too obvious.”

You think?

It’s hard to pay no heed to something that is suddenly jumping up and down, waving a red flag. Some would call it that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Some would call it ”the cause and effect” response. Perhaps these students should watch the world news, where there is no shortage of good or bad examples. Never push

‘Heartening’

Editor: Thank you for two heartening and beautifully-wrought pieces on sentient beings, avian and human, breaking out of their shells and flying free: “Reclaiming their Ancestral Lands” by Kimberly Wear and Linda Stansberry’s “Lobster Girl Finds the Beat” (Nov. 9).

Matina Kilkenny, Arcata

a loyal friend nor a property owner too hard, or else you might end up with neither.

The G.I. Bill will help defray the cost of your education, but you’d have to learn to obey orders. The fighting comes with the enlistment. Bully, for Cal Poly, for not submitting to students or media.

Blackmail. When the student-run newspaper printed the “alternative lifestyle” story, it was not the kiss of a blessing but a kiss of your ass goodbye. Consider that the best part of your education and move along, folks — nothing to see here.

Marcus Yelton, Eureka Editor: The Cal Poly Humboldt students who were living in their vehicles on campus parking lots have been evicted because of a policy that prohibits overnight camping. According to the article “‘Upside Down’” (Nov. 9), CPH has subsequently offered to allow displaced students to stay free of charge in on-campus housing. Some students have refused that offer because they are concerned that would take up emergency shelter beds on campus, which are reserved for students who need immediate housing help due to an eviction. That is exactly the situation these students are in — they have been evicted and need immediate housing.

The students say that getting an education is their top priority, yet the one who was interviewed said he’s been unable to attend class since Oct. 25 because he’s been consumed with trying to continue living in his vehicle. So instead of accepting free housing and getting the education he’s here for, he chooses to fight a losing battle. Upside down is a fitting description for this choice.

There is an upside to their situation.

Now that they’ve formed friendships

and bonded with their fellow campers, they have found suitable roommates.

They could live on campus for free for a while, get part-time jobs, save some money and then find apartments or houses to rent. Craigslist has numerous two bedroom places renting for $1,000 to $1,200, some within walking distance of campus. Working 15 hours a week at minimum wage of $16 (as of 2024), they could earn enough for rent with money left over. Students from families with low or moderate incomes can get both Pell grants and Cal grants to cover tuition and books. They may also be eligible for CalFresh. Student loans can make up any shortfall.

Attending college is not just about getting a degree. Ideally, during college years young people learn how to plan ahead, develop good judgment and attain self-sufficiency. When living in your vehicle so you can have a “more affordable lifestyle” is no longer an option, maybe it’s time to accept reality and choose a different lifestyle.

Diane Higgins, McKinleyville

Et Tu, Huffman?

Editor: Jared Huffman wrote a views piece Nov. 2 in the NCJ describing how much he despises the new majority leader of the House of Representatives, Rep. Mike Johnson. He starts with he knows Speaker Johnson to be “smart and affable” and better than Speaker McCarthy. Then he launches into true Huffman hatred.

He repeatedly accuses Mr. Johnson of being a Christian nationalist and rejecting outright the separation of church and state. His “disdain” for the establishment clause First Amendment and the right to actual freedom of religion reveals he wishes to bend public policy to reflect his personal views is exactly

Debating Measure A

M

easure A, known as the Humboldt Cannabis Reform Initiative, is shaping up to be one of the most controversial things on the March ballot and on Nov. 14 a group of about 75 people got a close-up look at some of those arguing most vociferously for and against it.

Held at the Baywood Country Club in Arcata, the Humboldt Emeritus and Retired Faculty and Staff Association’s luncheon meeting saw presentations by proponents Mark Thurmond and Betsy Watson, herself a Cal Poly Humboldt professor emerita, both of whom played central parts in conceiving, drafting, funding and circulating the initiative to overhaul Humboldt County’s cannabis regulations.

On the other side of the issue, the group also heard from Humboldt County Growers Alliance Executive Director Natalynne DeLapp, who described the initiative as “bad policy,” and Humboldt County Planning Commissioner Noah Levy, who said he worries the initiative, if passed, would prevent some farms from making environmental improvements.

The discussion was contentious but mostly civil, despite an outburst from a man in the crowd that briefly derailed Thurmond’s presentation before the man was escorted out of the room.

The discussion began with DeLapp offering a presentation why she feels Measure A is not just bad governance, but “bad for Humboldt County,” so much so that her association and a handful of local farmers have filed a lawsuit seeking to block it from reaching the ballot. DeLapp said the county crafted its current cannabis land use policy through a painstaking public process that took in expert input and demanded compromise from all stakeholders. In contrast, she said Measure A spawned from a dispute between the proponents and a neighbor in Kneeland, and was drafted in private before signature gatherers “hoodwinked” and misled thousands of voters into supporting it with claims that it would protect small farmers and the environment.

“This is an appealing argument,” she said. “It’s also not what will happen if Measure A passes.”

The reality, DeLapp said, is that while initiative proponents contend large,

northcoastjournal.com/ncjdaily

industrialized farms have inundated Humboldt County, that’s just not the case. She said the county currently has about 775 permitted farms, 70 percent of which are legacy operations and 98 percent of which do not meet the state definition of “large.”

Taking the microphone briefly from DeLapp, Levy said while the initiative charges that coordination between county and state regulators is lacking, this just isn’t true, noting that all cannabis permits field input from a variety of state agencies, from Calfire and the Department of Fish and Wildlife to the water board, and generally all their input is crafted into conditions of approval.

“No water use in the state is as extensively regulated as cannabis in this county,” he said.

As DeLapp explained it, a lot of the industry concern over the initiative centers around the interpretations of county counsel and the county planning department, which have said they believe its simple text language could be read to render a majority of the county’s farms nonconforming — either because they are larger than 10,000 square feet or because they are on roads that don’t meet Category 4 design standards — and that could prevent them from making certain upgrades, including adding water storage or solar arrays. And because the initiative, if passed, could only be changed by a vote of the people, it would be difficult to correct address any issues, foreseen or not.

“There is a consensus among small farms that this measure is harmful to them,” she said. “You won’t hear from proponents about any small farmers who support them because there aren’t any.

And if I’m wrong, I’ll eat my notes.”

Watson started off the proponents’ presentation by noting it was the initiative system that legalized cannabis in the first place, and stressing Measure A’s intent is to protect the environment.

“This is not an anti-cannabis initiative — this is an anti-industrialization of our timberlands and ag lands initiative,” she said. The initiative’s “backbone” is the county’s current cannabis land use ordinance but “with teeth,” she said. “The idea behind this is we can have water and weed, too. It’s not anti-cannabis at all.”

Thurmond said the initiative spawned from some problems he and Watson were

northcoastjournal

having in their Kneeland neighborhood with a proposed cultivation site. He said he came to realize the problem wasn’t the grow itself, but the mechanisms the county had in place to address neighborhood concerns.

Through research, Thurmond said he came to feel the county wasn’t following environmental regulations when it comes to cannabis, or following through with its own promises, like one made in 2018 to hold annual public hearings with various state agencies to review cannabis permit caps in watersheds throughout the county. That led him to conduct scores of “off-the-record” interviews with experts on the issues around Humboldt’s land use ordinance, he said.

Thurmond then seemed to veer off course a bit, noting that some have built their dream homes in more rural areas of Humboldt County only to have someone “all of a sudden” move in to start a cannabis farm, taking their water and bringing “people who are undesirable.” He then said something about their livestock disappearing before he was stopped by an outburst from the audience.

“What the fuck are you talking about?” a man yelled, rising to his feet. “You’re full of shit.”

After things quieted down, Thurmond continued, saying he spoke to people who said they didn’t want to sign the initiative for fear their “livestock would be hurt or their tires would be slashed.” He went on to cover what he sees as the main provisions of the ordinance, saying it would cap the number of cultivation permits in the county at about 1,000, limit new permits to farms of 10,000 square feet or fewer, increase enforcement by requiring site inspections annually with less than 24 hours’ notice and require all permits to be renewed annually. Additionally, he noted the initiative would require public hearings for all farms of 3,000 square feet or larger, reduce allowable water diversion and phase out generators. It would also, he said, expand county noticing requirements and require county staff to consider complaints in permit renewal processes.

When the presentations were done, a question and answer period followed. Nathan Wittington, who said he grows cannabis and apples while raising sheep and chickens on his farm near Ferndale, noted that he’s required to track water usage to a degree far beyond what’s required of his cattle ranching neighbors. If water is the issue, he asked, why single out cannabis?

Watson responded that the size of cannabis farms can make them “industrial.” The most pointed exchange came a few minutes later with Steven Luu, who described himself as the “purported Kneeland mega-grower” who initially caused Watson and Thurmond concern when he applied for a 1-acre cultivation permit and later agreed to reduce the scale of the operation to 10,000 square feet. He noted he’s “all about” building his homestead on the property and raising his family there, while farming other crops in addition to cannabis. But he expressed concern about his situation, saying that he could plant 40 acres of grapes on his agricultural property without anyone raising an issue and wondering aloud why his permit application drew neighborhood ire — including from some who accused him of being a member of the Chinese mafia — when a previous application from a “Caucasian person” to expand their operations by an acre did not.

“What I see in this initiative is a focus on regulating your neighbors,” he said, later a. “Who would be the right people?”

Watson responded by noting that Freshwater Creek went dry a couple of years back, the first time ever despite “white people” having been “up there” since the 1800s because “three wells went in for cannabis cultivation.” She added cannabis isn’t the entire problem but the “Johnny-come-lately of water users.”

Then asked about why there wasn’t a more public process in drafting the initiative, Watson said she’d initially planned to hold public forums but was told people wouldn’t attend. But she defended the public nature of the effort.

“There’s nothing more public than getting 7,000 signatures and putting something to a vote,” she said.

Levy disputed that notion a few minutes later, saying the county’s current regulations were crafted over the course of dozens of meetings with input from hundreds of speakers.

A woman introducing the day’s panel discussion noted that next month’s association meeting will feature the Humboldt Literacy Project and a discussion of the estimated 14,000 adults in Humboldt County who are functionally illiterate, meaning they read at or below a fifth-grade level, and efforts to change that.

n Wednesday, Oct. 25, I along with at least one other student living in their vehicle in Cal Poly Humboldt parking lots, was visited at my RV

by Associate Vice President for Student Success Steve St. Onge and Director of Risk Management and Safety Services Cris Koczera. The administrators told us the university would soon begin enforcing its parking regulation against overnight sleeping in vehicles. When I pressed them for a date when the enforcement would begin, they said it could be a week, or maybe two. When I asked them why, they alleged that students living in vehicles had been pooping in buckets and dumping the poop around campus.

About an hour after my in-person visit from the administrators, the university sent out a campuswide email that doubled down on the poop bucket allegation, saying that vehicle dwellers create an “unsafe and unsanitary” condition on campus and that we have sparked “fear and frustration” in our campus community. Us homeless students are well aware of the stigmatizations of vehicle dwellers and go to great lengths to maintain a clean, friendly and low profile on campus. The allegations were degrading and have yet to be backed up by evidence of any kind.

Additionally, the email posed a few solutions for the soon-to-be evicted students.

These options included:

The Arcata House Partnership:

Currently, the Arcata House Partnership has no vacancies and more than 3,000 people on a waitlist for its safe parking facility on Samoa Boulevard. Our understanding from Arcata House Partnership is that Cal Poly Humboldt had not contacted the nonprofit before recommending it to students. Even if there was availability, it is not a viable option for most vehicle dwellers. Our rigs are not fit to be used as daily commuters and most of us do not have any other means of transportation to commute to and from campus. Further, Humboldt County Third District Supervisor Mike Wilson emphasized during a recent Associated Students board of direc-

tors meeting that the safe parking program is transitional and not designed to house students for extended periods of time. On Nov. 1, the city of Arcata declared a “shelter crisis” due to the high rate of homelessness and need for funding to continue the Arcata House Partnership’s safe parking program. Sending students there would sap valuable resources from families who have no other option available and put extra strain on a program already struggling to meet the needs of Humboldt County’s homeless population.

Temporary Housing:

Temporary housing is just that — temporary. For a max stay of four weeks, the university has offered to house students who are currently living in their vehicles.

RV parks:

This option is the most puzzling. RV parks in Humboldt cost $700-plus a month. If students living in vehicles had the funds to pay that they would simply rent a room or an apartment.

Towing help:

The university offered to cover the towing cost (up to 5 miles from campus) for non-operational vehicles currently parked on campus. In this scenario, how does the university expect a student with a non-operational vehicle to commute back and forth from an undisclosed location about 5 miles from campus?

As the eviction could force many of us homeless students to drop out, myself and Maddy Montiel, a fellow vehicle dweller, took it upon ourselves to meet with any and all administrators we knew to be involved with the decision to evict. Both of us have missed three weeks of classes, work and extracurricular activities in an effort to get the university to change course and allow us to remain parked on campus overnight. Since Oct. 25, we have had meetings with: St. Onge, Koczera, Dean of Students Mitch Mitchell, Interim CFO Carla Ho’a, Police Chief Fernando Solorzano, Associate Dean of Students Molly Kresl and University Police Lt. Peter Cress.

Additionally, we have spoken at the university senate and A.S. board of directors’ meetings twice each.

So, what did Maddy and I learn from two weeks of meetings with university administrators? The answers are troubling.

The evidence that the school has for the alleged “pooping in buckets” is three photographs, two of which show white, 5-gallon buckets placed near vans. The inside of the bucket is not visible in either of the photos.

Koczera said the parking patrol officer who took the photo did not look inside the bucket to ascertain its contents. So, it appears that school officials just assumed that the buckets contained poop. The third photo, according to Koczera, shows feces on pavement. Kozera said a van had moved from the area just before the photo was taken. Myself and Maddy pushed Koczera to publicize all evidence of the poop bucket allegation, but we were only allowed to see one photo that showed a white bucket near a Chevy van. The owner of the bucket is a graduate student named Caleb who said he uses it to forage for food in the forest.

Our main objective in meeting with administrators was to emphasize the opportunity for a positive change to result from the chaos created by the Oct. 25 email. Instead of forcing students onto the streets, why not look at other college campuses that have found creative solutions? Long Beach City College has a safe parking program that allows students to sleep in their vehicles on campus. Cal Poly Humboldt could use this as a template to improve upon for the unique needs in Humboldt County. Unfortunately, the university appears to have no interest in creating a safe parking option for students who are forced to live in their vehicles in order to afford college.

My understanding from speaking to a representative of Arcata House Partnership is that, at the city of Arcata’s request, the nonprofit offered to help the university implement a safe parking program but Cal Poly Humboldt declined.

Additionally, we proposed a plethora of other solutions to university administrators to address their concerns. These included vehicle dwellers signing a release of liability form or agreeing to a code of conduct detailing basic rules we must follow while sleeping in vehicles on campus, paying an increased parking fee or purchasing a separate pass, or the university designing a separate parking area for vehicle dwellers (we proposed the G15 lot).

Another point we emphasized was the complete lack of dialogue between the university and vehicle dwellers. Administration never spoke to any of us about any developing issues. We were never given a chance to address their claims. The university’s sudden decision to evict its homeless students was made with callous disregard and without any input or dialogue with those who would be most affected.

Before deciding to live in my vehicle, I emailed the university parking enforcement in December of 2022 explaining my plan to sleep in my van on campus to which they replied, “Parking is enforced from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Friday. As long as you have a valid permit you will be able to park — also keep in mind that parking spaces are first come first served.”

In addition to meeting with administrators over the past few weeks, we started a petition, which currently has 3,400 signatures. We also asked students, faculty and community members to write letters of support and send them to administrators.

Multiple department heads, dozens of professors and hundreds of students and community members wrote letters of support on our behalf.

Because of this army of support and complete lack of progressive dialogue with administrators, we decided to organize a protest Nov. 2. It was a last resort and not a measure we thought we’d have to go to.

But, again, the university has been unwilling to seriously consider any of the options we presented. We had no choice. Despite the rain, more than 100 supporters showed up to march with us. The protest began at 11 a.m. and ran well past midnight.

On Nov. 7, Maddy and I presented at the university Academic Senate meeting during an agenda item addressing the school’s sudden enforcement of their overnight parking rule. The meeting ran past the scheduled end time and some administrators and faculty in attendance complained they weren’t going to be paid overtime for their extra work. A handful of school officials left before the “sense of the senate” vote was even cast. Despite the complaints and walkouts, the resolution passed unanimously, officially asking that we be allowed to continue living in our vehicles until the end of the school year. While the unanimous vote is a victory, it does not guarantee homeless students will be allowed to sleep in their vehicles on campus. Unfortunately, the ‘sense of the senate’ only informs university President Tom Jackson Jr. of the senate’s stance on the issue. The sole power to change the parking enforcement lies with Jackson, who has been completely silent on the issue. Jackson’s chief of staff, Mark Johnson, has been the only administrator voicing support of the eviction and does not appear interested in finding a mutually beneficial solution.

On Nov. 12 at noon, the official enforcement of the regulation against sleeping in one’s vehicle overnight went into effect.

The administration has been inconsistent in describing how the prohibition will be enforced and what the repercussions for violating it will be. We were first told citations would be issued, then our vehicles would be booted, and eventually towed. But, during a

meeting with Cress and Kresl, we were told that overnight parking violations could result in academic probation, suspension or even arrest.

On Nov. 13, at 6:14 a.m., myself and the RV parked adjacent were given a total of five parking tickets totaling $226. The citations listed “use of vehicle for living/overnight,” “beyond designated lines” and “permit not properly displayed.” Both my RV and my neighbors were parked within designated lines. The comment section of the citation lists “windows covered” as evidence for overnight sleeping. Citations were also placed on many other vans, buses and RVs parked on campus that morning. It appears no attempt was made by parking patrol to discern whether or not anyone was inside the vans when they cited them.

It was made clear to us more than once

by Koczera and Cress that our RVs could remain parked on campus, day and night, without issue so long as we didn’t sleep in them. Cress himself detailed that probable cause would have to be established before citation or other disciplinary measure would be taken.

Throughout these three weeks spent meeting with university administrators, the

only constant has been the lack of respect, honesty and clarity. It has been disappointing, as a paying student of the university, to experience such a complete absence of professionalism by school officials.

What has become abundantly clear over the past three weeks is that a majority of the student body, faculty, community members and even administrators are in support of Cal Poly Humboldt’s vehicle dwellers.

Administration has, thus far, been unable to clearly explain the catalyst for sudden eviction. We’ve been shown no evidence for the university’s claim that we are “unsafe and unsanitary,” nor have we been shown evidence to back up the claim that vehicle dwellers have created “fear and frustration” in the community.

Despite this uphill battle, I believe there is still room for a positive outcome. But that change can only occur if Jackson and his staff are willing to open up a dialogue, explore creative options and fulfill their obligation as leaders of this university. l Brad Butterfield (he/him) is a journalism major at Cal Poly Humboldt, an education he has been able to afford thus far by living in his vehicle on campus.

ON THE COVER Built in 2019, Bayview Heights includes 50 units, split evenly between veterans and recently homeless people being housed through a Housing First model.

Inside Bayview Heights

A unique project houses 25 local veterans with 25 recently homeless people with mental illness. It’s proving complicated.

I

t’s a brisk, bright morning in early fall on Eureka’s Fifth Street, where a small group of veterans have gathered in one of the common rooms at Bayview Heights, a new three-story apartment complex painted in a geometric pattern of army and olive green. Five of them sit around a small dining table in a communal kitchen on the building’s first floor, where decorative woven baskets hang on the wall and maple-finished cabinets hang over a white tile backsplash. The smell of fresh coffee from a stainless steel pot on the counter fills the room.

“It’s really the shits because this could be a beautiful place to live,” says Michael Moss, a U.S. Navy veteran, leaning back in his chair.

The group isn’t happy. Their list of complaints is long and centers around the building’s origin story. Initially launched as a project to house veterans only in its 50 units in 2019, funding challenges led Nation’s Finest, the veteran’s service organization spearheading it, to partner with the county Department of Health and Human Services to house both veterans and some of the area’s most vulnerable

homeless residents under a Housing First model. The result is the building’s units are split — with 25 filled with veterans and 25 filled with formerly homeless people with severe and persistent mental illness.

As the conversation works around the table that fall morning, the group of veterans share their stories. One points to a boarded up second-floor window, saying someone in the midst of a mental health crisis threw a television through it. Another says maintenance issues are pervasive, with some residents consistently destroying their apartments — flooding the bathrooms or tearing cabinets off the walls — to the point that Danco’s maintenance crews can’t keep up with the comparatively minor maintenance needs of less destructive residents, things like water leaks and simple repairs. Then there are the quality of life issues, the folks who scream at all hours seemingly without provocation or the constant stream of visitors to the place, many of whom bang on windows or yell up from the streets at all hours. There was the woman who would show up naked in common areas, or the guy who would frequently enter unlocked apartments and

make himself at home. Then there are the thefts. They say when the place opened, someone made off with all the fire extinguishers placed in common areas and all the game room’s equipment disappeared.

One veteran says someone even stole the seat cover off his wheelchair when it was left unattended.

One of the veterans has grown visibly uncomfortable with the tone of the conversation and tells the group to “wait a minute.”

“Just about all of us have problems,” he says, noting that the vets themselves had been homeless or “housing insecure,” which qualified them to live there, and urging the group to show some grace to their neighbors. A few minutes later, he gets up and leaves.

The group continues, saying that in addition to the quality of life stuff, there have been real safety concerns.

Thomas Clifton, a U.S. Navy veteran, says in his couple years at the property he’s administered Narcan — the opioid overdose medication — to three of his neighbors, noting that a dozen or so residents have died of drug overdoses or suicides in

his time there. There was also the time he had to “stand between a 6-foot-4 guy with a knife and the building’s security guard, he says, adding that he’s had his “life threatened on multiple occasions” and currently has a neighbor who calls him “faggot” every time he walks by.

“I spent seven years as a security specialist and bodyguard, and do I feel safe here? No,” Clifton says. “I don’t know if I’m going to get into a fight coming down from my apartment, so I hide. … It’s not fair for us to have to live in this situation.”

Clifton says the main problem is the county is placing people in housing without “addressing why the people are homeless in the first place.”

“All they’ve done,” Moss interjects, “is move the streets inside.”

The concept of Housing First

has been around for decades and holds that the biggest barrier to getting a homeless person back on their feet is housing itself, as the challenges of getting someone mental health or substance abuse treatment increase exponentially while they’re

on the streets. After all, experts say, simply surviving while homeless is a labor intensive, exhausting and complicated endeavor.

But if you can give someone a safe place to be and access to wraparound services — mental health clinicians and case workers — they have a better chance to stabilize and improve their lives.

Study after study has also shown the strategy to be cost effective, as officials estimate the average unsheltered homeless person on the street costs taxpayers more than $40,000 a year once all the costs — from shelters and food programs to emergency room and jail visits — are factored in.

Humboldt County and the city of Eureka formally embraced Housing First in 2016, the same year the state Legislature passed a law requiring state housing programs to adopt the model. But a key component of the approach is accepting people where they are with no strings attached — people are put in housing whether they are considered “housing ready,” meaning regardless of their addictions, their mental health diagnosis, their willingness to participate in programs or treatment, and their rental or criminal histories.

Sitting in a conference room at the Department of Health and Human Services building on Fourth Street, Deputy Director Jack Breazeal describes how this Housing First concept guides placements into Bayview Heights and other places. He says a tenant selection committee looks at “homelessness” and “behavioral health” criteria to see if folks qualify for placements and funding, and then spaces go to those with the greatest need.

The homeless criteria changes a bit

based on the funding stream, he says, noting some require an individual to have been homeless for a certain amount of time to qualify, and there’s variation in how programs view emergency shelter stays and folks in transitional housing. On the behavioral health side, he says people must have “severe and persistent mental illness,” like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.

Then the committee tries to quantify need, which carries a financial component.

Breazeal says the committee will look to see how much an individual’s insurance has been billed for emergency room visits, ambulance transports and stays in a psychiatric facility, as well as jail admissions. Those who meet the basic qualifications and have the highest need are placed, so long as they’ve gone through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s “tremendously onerous” application process.

The county’s Housing, Outreach and Mobile Engagement program helps those selected move in and furnish their apartments, and then they’re handed off to the county’s Behavioral Health branch for case management programs and wraparound services.

Breazeal says some of these clients are already engaged with Behavioral Health, utilizing the Comprehensive Community Treatment (CCT) outpatient program, but the tenant selection committee is prohibited from taking that into account because the Housing First funding streams require no barriers to placement.

“We recognize that people getting services are generally more successful, but we can’t use that criteria,” he says.

Bows Built By The Pros Once someone is housed in one of the county’s 25 units at Bayview Heights, Breazeal says it is up to them to what degree they want to participate in the county’s behavioral health programs, if at all. The county offers intensive outpatient treatment, with regular clinician check ins and psychiatric appointments, as well as case management, which includes everything from help shopping for groceries and getting to appointments to a nurse who will stop by weekly to help clients fill their medication boxes. There’s also a peer support program that sees clients paired with “people with lived experiences” in the CCT program.

But all these services are voluntary and not a requirement for housing. If someone starts to “decompensate to the point they are a danger to themselves or others,” county staff can pursue an involuntary commitment to a psychiatric facility, he says. And if someone becomes disruptive or destructive enough, Danco has the ability to evict them.

“That is something we try to avoid at all costs,” says Breazeal, noting it runs counter to Housing First’s core principles. “Danco has been very patient with individuals, but Danco has that discretion.”

Breazeal says county staff tries to work closely with Danco and the folks at Nation’s Finest, who oversee case management and support service for the building’s veteran residents, to address issues as they come up. But he notes efforts to support clients at Bayview Heights, and anywhere else, are dependent on resources, most notably trained professionals to fill the county’s case worker, nursing and mental health positions.

“When I think about Housing First and permanent supportive housing, the ability to have staffing for the support part should be underlined and bolded,” he says.

Breazeal says you can look at the county’s behavioral health clients as falling on a bell curve. There are a small number at one end that are generally going to be success-

ful no matter what, while an equal number are probably “really going to struggle.” But the majority fall in the middle, where a nurse’s visit to check a pill box or a case manager’s call can be the difference between someone going off their medications and falling into crisis, or remaining relatively stable.

“There are a lot of people in the middle who just need some structure,” he says.

Back around the table at Bay-

view Heights, the veterans are still venting.

There’s the woman who throws things out of her second-floor window and the neighbors they suspect are on drugs or selling them, or both. One tells the story of a neighbor whose apartment smelled so strongly of chemicals the building manager called the cops, thinking he was making meth. When they finally got him to open the door, they realized he was just painting and refinishing several bicycles without so much as opening a window for ventilation.

As the conversation meanders on, a younger man — appearing in his mid to late 30s — comes into the room from the courtyard to get a cup of coffee. After he fills his cup, the veteran looks over and tells him, “We were just telling him about the time the cops came to your door.”

The man smiles sheepishly and sits down, joining the conversation. The man says he’d been homeless for almost 20 years before coming to live at Bayview.

His stay there has had its ups and downs, he says. With regard to the bike painting incident, he says with a chuckle it never occurred to him to open a window or put down a drop cloth before he started painting the bikes, noting that in addition to the smell, the interior of his apartment was covered with red paint, which gave the officers an initial start when he opened the door. But there are times he, too, has felt unsafe at the building, noting that he simply left for a couple weeks after another

resident accused him of “snitching” to the building manager and threatened his life.

Some of the late-night visitors, the folks screaming up at windows from the sidewalk, are also directed at his apartment, one of the veterans interjects, prompting a smile from the young man.

“He has a way with the ladies,” the veteran says, and the man concedes it’s true and a chuckle circles the room.

Another morning a couple of weeks later, Moss says it’s true some of the county clients living at Bayview have “grown by leaps and bounds” given the opportunity to be housed. Really, he says, the problem at any given time is a small handful of people — maybe five — who he and others feel seem to act with impunity.

According to the Eureka Police Department, Bayview Heights averages a call for service about every two days, or 15 a month. About 36 percent are medical aid, with the majority of the other calls coming for “minor disturbances” and welfare checks, an EPD spokesperson told the Journal.

Having served as a corpsman

in the Navy, a position akin to being a medic, in the mid 1980s, Clifton was in a bad way when he was moved to Bayview from a Veterans Affairs facility. He’d been homeless and was more than $40,000 in

debt before Nation’s Finest began helping him out, working to get the debt forgiven and get him on SSI. When times were really tough, he says, they helped him buy litter and food for his cat, the most important thing in his life.

“If they were to show up at my door with a body, I’d say, ‘Let me get a shovel,’” Clifton says.

But Clifton says his first months at Bayview are the stuff cut from a horror story. He says his apartment’s immediate neighbors were both “violent schizophrenic people” who were using drugs. One of their apartments, he says, smelled “like a mass grave.”

“Not a good situation,” he says, noting one of the neighbors would frequently start screaming in the middle of the night about his dead wife coming through the ceiling, which would set off Clifton’s PTSD. But the biggest problem was the neighbor immediately above him, who he says was addicted to heroin.

“He would shit and vomit all over himself then hose himself down,” Clifton says, adding that the awful smelling wastewater would then leak through his ceiling into his apartment.

This happened repeatedly, he says, over the course of about eight months until one day police showed up at Clifton’s door, responding to a report that he was homicidal.

After police looked at his apartment, and the wastewater leaking in from the ceiling, Clifton

says they took him to a local motel, where he stayed for about a week and a half while Danco repaired his apartment and made alterations to his neighbor’s above in an effort to make sure the leak wouldn’t recur.

(He says it did once, some months later, but wasn’t as bad.)

Adding to both Clifton and Moss’ frustration about their situation at Bayview Heights is that they feel effectively trapped.

Both live there with the help of a Section 8 housing voucher, which they say can’t be transferred to another facility. (Moss says he was lied to, told it would be transferable if he wanted to move after a year, only to later find out it’s not.) Because they must be housing insecure or homeless to qualify for another voucher, they say they wouldn’t be able to apply for one unless they terminated their lease at Bayview, which would risk leaving them homeless on a Section 8 waiting list.

Nonetheless, Clifton says he probably would have left already if it wouldn’t mean bringing his cat into homelessness with him.

“I’ve got a cat that I love more than anything else in the world, and that’s the only reason I’m still here,” he says.

Touring the Journal through

the building on a recent Friday morning, Moss notes the amenities. There are the solar arrays, which he says have kept his electric bill to basically nothing. There’s also the game room and the gym, the common areas with seating nooks and televisions.

There’s the enclosed courtyard with a plethora of raised garden beds, and the thirdfloor terrace — the smoker’s area, they call it — with views of Humboldt Bay. But all, he points out, are empty.

Things have been quieter lately, he says, adding that many residents have simply started keeping to themselves. Moss and Clifton say they certainly have, with Moss spending most of his time in his apartment listening to audio books, while Clifton says he passes his time working on miniature Warhammer models in his. Clifton says the quiet has also reduced his stress levels, not-

ing his cluster headaches are coming fewer and farther between, his blood pressure has come down and he hasn’t had any episodes with his atrial fibrillation heart condition recently.

They say building management has taken some steps that appear to be helping, instituting a new policy requiring visitors to present identification and having evicted a couple of problematic tenants. Consequently, the place currently has a handful of vacancies, which they say helps.

Perhaps uncoincidentally, Breazeal notes in his interview with the Journal that his department’s staffing levels have improved markedly from where they were in the heart of the pandemic, when the county struggled to recruit nurses and clinicians.

In the past, both have made some efforts at bringing the Bayview Heights residents together. Moss and a few friends organized some barbecues in the building’s courtyard over the summer, so folks could eat and mingle. They were fun, Moss says, though he adds he had to confront one man to get him to stop screaming nonsensically from the second-floor railing.

Clifton also chuckles recalling last Thanksgiving, when he says he got up before dawn to make pies for a turkey dinner Moss organized with all the fixings.

“It was an interesting day,” he says, noting it ended prematurely with someone “yelling incoherently at the television,” while others were trying to visit and relax.

The pair are seated at a wood table in the ground-floor common room, with a pumpkin painted with a happy face at its center. An adjacent table has a centerpiece basket exploding with fall flowers situated between two signs, one reading, “Be Kind,” and the other “Gather Here with Grateful Hearts.”

Asked if they’ll put together another Thanksgiving meal in an effort to bring everyone together both agreed: Probably not. l Thadeus Greenson (he/him) is the Journal’s news editor. Reach him at (707) 442-1400, extension 321, or thad@ northcoastjournal.com.

ocal real estate listings are offering a broad menu these days with a bevy of restaurants and food businesses up for sale. After its sudden closure early this year, Fernbridge’s Angelina Inn is available for $1.9 million and the up-and-running Gill’s by the Bay has a price tag of $2.5 million for the property and business. The liquor license is included in the $1.3 million asking price for the iconic Ivanhoe Hotel, Restaurant and Saloon in Ferndale, as is the license for the Jam in Arcata, for $435,000.

Even before the pandemic, the restaurant business was always risky. But since then, it’s been an especially rocky ride between closures, the starts and stops of reopening, supply chain issues, staffing and inflation. Along with those economic realities, running a food business doesn’t always leave room for life outside the kitchen.

It was only in May the splashy, new Mazzotti’s sign went up over the Arcata Plaza mainstay after a massive interior overhaul. But now the 11,496-square-foot restaurant, with its new bar and stage, is on the market for $850,000. “It’s a business decision that best suits our foreseeable future,” says owner Joe Mazzotti via text message. He’s reluctant to discuss the sale because, he says, “I don’t want to make this fodder for the haters out there,” referring to criticism of the restaurant on a Reddit thread. “Anything I say can be misconstrued or taken any way by a prospective buyer or interested party … or the people who have their opinions online.” But a post on the restaurant’s Facebook page clarifies the restaurant is not closing, just preparing for “a new chapter” and “looking for someone who is interested in keeping Mazzotti’s and the employees intact and we will not settle for anything less.”

Joe Tan, who hopes to sell his Curry Leaf business for $140,000 in Eureka, is less reserved. He says sales for the large pan-Asian spot average $2,500 per day but the work is overwhelming with two other restaurants to run — Nori in Arcata and the newly reopened Overtime Pizza and Bar in Eureka — and for now, he says his plans for a rooftop sushi place in Eureka are on hold. “There’s long hours, there’s stress … everything is too expensive, ingredients and employee insurance,” he laments with a small laugh. Still, he thinks Curry Leaf could

be perfect for a family to run — just not his family, with whom he’d like to spend more time. If the price was right, Tan says he’d even sell the bustling Nori.

It’s no secret restaurants in Garberville are struggling along with the rest of the businesses there as the wholesale cannabis market has slowed. But that’s not the main reason Moises Lopez put his Eel River Café up for sale a month ago. “I’m sick, I have cancer and I’m ready to retire,” he says over the phone. He’s run the café, which opened in 1927, for nearly 12 years. “My health is more important. My business is good,” he says, but he simply can’t work and wants to be with his family.

“It’s a bad time to sell it, but whatever is gonna happen is gonna happen.”

Family and health are at the core of Carmac McGraby’s decision to sell the Couxp truck and business, too. “I have a toddler and I’m working 70- to 80-hour weeks right now and I’m not really able to be a parent, or at least the parent that I wanna be,” he says, adding his child’s congenital heart issue will also require surgery in the near future.

“If the circumstances were different, I don’t think I would sell,” he adds, noting business has been good. “Life throws some curveballs at you.”

But McGraby’s child is doing better than expected and he says he’s excited to spend more time together. At $199,000, McGraby says he’s gotten a few nibbles on the truck, its new equipment and the five-year lease on the commissary kitchen he built in the Hatchet House. And he isn’t opposed to staying on to work through the transition and beyond. “Just not a 3 a.m. to 8 p.m. day,” he says, which is what he’s been clocking as owner.

The iconic Eureka restaurant Café Waterfront began as a saloon in the early days of the port town. It had a life as a sandwich shop, too, before it was converted into a restaurant and bar with a lush sunset mural, and it’s been in Ben Smith’s family for 37 years. Smith has run it since the early 2000s and in September, he and his mother, who owns the building, put the whole thing up for sale: the business, its inventory, equip-

ment and furniture, liquor license and the furnished bed and breakfast rooms upstairs, all listed at $2.6 million.

Smith, who is in his 50s, says “Restaurants kind of consume you and I feel like I’m just kind of ready to move on.” He says it’s a tough time to sell, given rising interest rates, a tough economy and the risky nature of the restaurant business, but nobody in his family wants to take it on and there are other things he wants to do. “I figure if I’m going to do this, I’d better do it before I get too old,” he says. Aside from college and a few years working as a teacher, Smith has been working at Café Waterfront since he was a teenager. With his own son grown, he says he’d like to travel some, “take a minute and breathe, and then come back and start another adventure.”

It might have been easier, Smith says, to sell as pandemic restrictions ended, when stimulus checks abounded. But at that time he was just trying to keep things going.

Since then, customers have been steady, he says, noting, “It’s a valuable business and if someone who knows restaurants was to look at our statements, they’d see that.”

Still, it’s not without challenges, and he’s not shocked to see the number of restaurants selling locally. “In the restaurant business, your margins are pretty slim. So when you have the kinds of increases we’ve seen … sometimes it’s good just to break even.”

The cost of ingredients, he says, has jumped seemingly randomly. “One week it’s beef, next week it’s eggs, next week it’s cheese,” he says, noting he was recently shocked to see the price of green onions and fryer oil double. “It’s been really hard to get people to work when you need employees and with the inflated food costs, I can see how people would say it’s time to get out.”

After 15 years, Southside Mike’s BBQ truck owner Mike Ross retired from the food business in April, returning to case

management work with Arcata House Partnership. “Finally got beat over the head one too many times. First it was COVID, then the supply chain and then the hike in all the prices,” he says, especially the cost of meat. “It became a bit too much for me. …

At [58], the bounce back just isn’t what it used to be.”

While the overhead for a food truck is lower than a brick-and-mortar restaurant, Ross says the cost of operations is still “a killer.” He also says the local market is oversaturated with mobile food businesses. “I love that people are trying their hand at the business … that’s awesome,” he says, however, “It’s a small population here and an even smaller population with expendable cash.”

Still, Ross thinks a person with energy and a menu that hits the sweet spots of demand and cost per plate can make it work with a limited menu. Doing a couple things well for a fair price, he says, is the key. “Or one super fantastic thing.” He hopes the price — $57,000 for the truck he says has “everything a restaurant has except for a dishwasher” and $5,000 for the 14foot, custom-built barbecue mounted on a double-axle trailer — is affordable enough for somebody. “I’d love to see someone take it on and do something good,” Ross says, adding he daydreams about it going to a nonprofit for a youth training program.

“Running a restaurant is a 24-hour business. Even when you’re not working, you’re thinking about it,” Ross says. “When you’re in the kitchen and you hear a dish break, you’re like, ‘Jesus.’” He says he stayed in the business as long as he did because he loved it. That and tenacity, he says, are requirements. “You’re really going against all odds.” l Jennifer Fumiko Cahill (she/her) is the arts and features editor at the Journal.

Look! Up in the Sky! Heads up for local raptors

W New 2023

hile we’re caught up in the daily grind here on the ground, there’s a lot of great birding happening above our heads.

That’s where the big birds fly: the eagles, hawks and vultures that quicken the pulse of birders and nonbirders alike because of their sheer bulk and massive wingspans. However, conditions are seldom ideal for an accurate identification of those dark blobs in the sky. Sometimes all we can say is … it’s a bird.

But with practice it’s possible to distinguish many, if not most, of the birds circling above us. Birds of prey, or raptors, tend to flap and soar more slowly, giving us an opportunity to observe their wingspan, flight style and even some of the dark and light patterns of their feathers.

Here are some key field marks to watch for that can help distinguish the members of this fascinating bird family quickly — before they sail over the horizon and disappear.

Turkey vulture. When your first impression is of a majestic, soaring eagle, your bird is usually a turkey vulture. Not that turkey vultures aren’t majestic in their own right; they’re pretty spectacular birds, with a wingspan of about 65 inches and special adaptations that make them well-suited to life on the cleanup crew. Turkey vultures have keen vision and an exceptional sense of smell. In fact, the area of the brain that processes odors is larger in vultures than in other birds, enabling them to sniff out carrion from up to a mile away.

An excellent field mark for a turkey vulture is the pronounced “V” shape of its wing position as it soars, helping it ride the thermals like a surfer at Moonstone.

From underneath, those wings appear two-toned, dark at the shoulders and gray along the trailing feathers, and the bird’s naked head — pink in adults, gray in youngsters — seems tiny due to its lack of feathers. They’re common throughout the county.

Bald eagle. It may not have been Ben Franklin’s choice for our national bird, but a bald eagle is always a thrill to see. Young birds don’t get the unmistakable white head and tail of the adults until they’re 5 or so years old, but eagles of any age have

a huge wingspan of around 80 inches, and soar with their wings in a flat line as opposed the “V” of a turkey vulture. Eagles also have big heavy bills that help separate them from red-tailed hawks and ospreys, even in flight.

Winter is a good time to see bald eagles around the county, especially near water where they’ll prey on fish — or harass other fish-eating birds like ospreys into giving up their catch.

Osprey. Ospreys are very cool birds and one of the easier raptors to identify, even from a distance. White below and dark above, an osprey has long narrow wings with a telltale crook at the “elbow.” Its head is white with a black stripe through the eye like a bandit, and its strongly hooked bill is perfectly designed for fishing.

Because they live almost exclusively on fish, you won’t often find ospreys far from water. They make spectacular feet-first dives into the drink, then fly off with their prey to disembowel it at their leisure.

Red-tailed hawk. One of the most common hawks in Humboldt and across the U.S., the red-tailed hawk belongs to the buteo family, big chunky hawks with broad wings and relatively short tails.

That red tail should make this bird easy to identify, right? Well, not always. Chances are the lighting, the bird’s age or its particular subspecies will make that field mark unreliable. Young red-tails don’t have a red tail at all — their tails are barred. A more consistent field mark is a band of dark color across the belly of the hawk, known as (naturally) the belly band.

And just to make things more challenging, red-tails come in multiple color combos or “morphs” — my Stokes field guide devotes five pages to variations on a single species, with names like “Harlan’s” or “Krider’s.” They’re still red-tailed hawks.

By the way, a common raven is as big as a red-tailed hawk and can easily be mistaken for one, especially in poor light. If your all-dark bird has a distinctly wedge-shaped tail and flaps in a circular motion like it’s rowing a boat, it’s probably a raven.

Red-shouldered hawk. This striking buteo can often be seen along the road, perched on telephone poles or even balanced on the wires. Its characteristic

The owl-like northern harrier.

Photo by Sarah Hobart

hunched posture always reminds me of my mom saying, “Sit up straight!” The “red” shoulders aren’t always easy to see and young birds don’t have them at all, but all ages have a checkered pattern on the wings. In flight, look for that dark-and-light wing pattern and for an almost translucent crescent-shaped mark near the tip of each wing.

Northern harrier. Harriers float over dunes and grasslands much the way vultures soar on thermals, their wings held in a similar but more shallow “V” shape.

These hawks are long-winged and longtailed; up close, you might be able to see their disc-shaped faces that give them an owlish look. Like owls, harriers use their sharp hearing to locate prey in the flora below them.

The male harrier is gray above and white below with black wingtips, and the female is rusty brown with checkered wings. In flight, look for their white rump patches, an excellent field mark.

There are, of course, a few other large, dark birds that might catch your eye as they fly overhead. Geese are big and dark-bodied but tend to fly in noisy flocks, like the thousands of Aleutian cackling geese that recently descended on the county. Cormorants, chunky diving birds common in Humboldt Bay, fly with rapid wingbeats and outstretched necks. A great blue heron is a huge dark bird with an impressive 7-foot wingspan, but it has a long neck folded into an “S” shape and its feet extend past its tail in flight.

So, if you spot something with big wings relative to a small head, think bird of prey — and then see if you can pick out a few field marks and narrow it down to species. And if it’s massive, with a wingspan of nearly 10 feet, who knows? It just might be a California condor. That day is coming, so why not dream big? ● Sarah Hobart (she/her) is a freelance writer based in Humboldt County.

uch ink has been spilled on the colonial mythology of the upcoming holiday and the horrors in Palestine.

When confronted with the unrolling and competing narratives of a real-time conflict, I turn to relevant historians and critics of the past, and I can think of no one more qualified to speak on colonial narrative than late Palestinian intellectual Edward Said, whose landmark work Orientalism is foundational in the study of postcolonialism. Born into an affluent family of Arab Christians in Jerusalem in British Mandate Palestine in 1935, Said was a stateless man by his teenage years and, after many temporary homes, spent his career at Columbia University as a vanguard scholar of cross-discipline cultural studies until his death in 2003.

His life as a privileged outsider in the high academic society of America allowed him to study the way colonial powers define the culture of their subjects with wildly inaccurate and damaging results. Every colonizing nation thrives on two central powers for legitimacy: violent force and the creation of narratives to justify and often erase the severity of that force. The “White Man’s Burden” of Rudyard Kipling is one such narrative. It defined the foreign policy of the British Empire, inspired Winston Churchill’s racist brutality toward India and found purchase in his support of the Balfour Declaration, which laid legal groundwork for the Zionist movement and the establishment of the State of Israel. The image of Arab culture as uncivilized, violent and requiring western administration was something Said worked passionately to dispel. It’s a narrative easily transposed onto Colonial America’s earlier brutal treatment of Indigenous people. Said offers not only a rejection of the colonial narrative, but a world of deep culture and history long flattened as “exotic.” These are notes on a massive body of work I invite the curious among you to explore in a world still vibrating with the constant violence of empire. We must understand each other to be truly civilized. Have a great week.

Thursday

Some things, like university names, come and go, while others seem resistant to the forces of change. One of those things in the latter category is the university circus community, formerly HSU, now Cal Poly Humboldt. The group’s Gist Hall performance Circus? You Hardly Know Us! is an addition to a long tradition, so if you’d like to be a part of that continuum, roll through at 7:27 p.m. sharp and drop $10 ($8 for students) into the bucket. If memory serves, it’s a fun time.

Friday

As we wind up to next Thursday’s holiday, the gigs get sparse. To correct for this rocky landing, I’m going to double up on shows, starting today and through every day of the weekend, so you can get your kicks one way or another. Tonight’s very different events start at 8 p.m. Over at the Arcata Playhouse, you will find Ashland, Oregon, percussionist Terry Longshore, whose multimedia solo performance balance/flow combines various genres and disciplines to reach a satori of technical expression. ($18, $16 Playhouse Fanclub members).

Meanwhile, over at Humbrews there’s a rock thing going down with identical twin, SoCal indie rock act Familiar Faces heading a line-up that features Maui mega-band The Lamonts, whose story is scarred by catastrophic loss caused by this year’s wildfires, and local up-and-comers The Critics. This one’s promising if you’re in the mood for some diverse and frantic indie rock with some dancefloor momentum. It’s $10 for early bird tickets, $13 at the door on the night of.

Saturday

Two very different doings tonight, both in Arcata at 9 p.m. One of them subdued and subterranean, one a dancehall treat.

Starting with the former, Young & Lovely, the torch and jazz song vehicle manned by the talented Penner siblings and co., is playing some tunes at the Basement with horn player Don Hammerstedt joining the crew for maximum vibes. No cover but consider buying some refreshments.

The Arcata Theatre Lounge has an entirely different beast on tap. Fuego is a reggaeton and Latin dance night curated

by DJs Pressure, D’Vinity and Statik. Company dancers will be on stage to lead the groove and, while door costs $15, advance tickets are available for a mere $10.

Sunday

Another interesting pairing, this time doable as a double bill, as the first performance is a matinee. I am talking about the Arkley Center for the Performing Artsstaged production of the musical The Music Man Jr. The diminutive suffix refers to the youthful cast involved in this iteration of the beloved Broadway hit show. The start time for this last show in the run is 2 p.m. and tickets range from $19-$28, with a special $15 pricing for students.

Four hours later at Blondies, you can enjoy, and possibly participate in, its legendary Jazz Jam. Always interesting, always free. Why not?

Monday

Speaking of jams, Seabury Gould is hosting his popular Irish Jam at the Logger

Bar at 7 p.m. Although the man comes prepared with material and heartfelt instrumental and vocal pieces, there’s always room for someone to pick up their tool of choice and join the fray. Entrance costs nothing, so be sure to bring good spirits and bonhomie to make a proper payment to the scene.

Tuesday

Not to beat the theme into the dust, but since we are nearing Thanksgiving, I’m going to continue this “jam roll” we are on and suggest one more free open jam night. This one is at the Siren’s Song Tavern and runs for about an hour, starting at 8 p.m. It’s usually a Grateful Dead theme on Tuesday, so I imagine in that hour you could probably fit in most of one song, maybe a few more if the tunes are from their Workingman’s Dead speed-boogie country days.

Wednesday

OK, we all know what’s coming, so tonight’s nightlife isn’t going to be any bright lights and promises. However, we can still choose to help those in our community who have less than ourselves. It’s a tough time of year for the forgotten who struggle in ways most of us can’t imagine. Lend a little charity and care, please. We only have each other. l Collin Yeo (he/him) lives in Arcata, in the homelands of the Wiyot, taken and held by violence.

SCREENS

The Killer and Dicks Go Big

By John J. Bennett

screens@northcoastjournal.com

THE KILLER. Given what we know — or think we know — about David Fincher, it is almost too tempting to see his latest as a smirking work of self-reflective satire.

This contravenes the most basic tenet of what I was taught to call New Criticism, which is, clears throat, reads aloud: never conflate the art with the artist. And aside from Mank (2020), which was scripted by his late father, he has made a career of exploring depravity, decay and deviance from a vocally declared distance, without the risk of us rubes in the audience mining the work for autobiographical detail (at least not fruitfully). I take it back: It is, in fact, too tempting not to look at The Killer as a work of the artist’s self-reflection, even if the whole thing is a put on.

Fincher has made no secret of self-identifying as a director for hire, albeit one with maybe the most exacting standards in the industry. He eschews the auteur mode of the contemporaries among whose rarified company his work places him; he is a technician, if an extraordinarily disciplined and self-actualized one. Which is, essentially, how our Killer (Michael Fassbender), a literal gun for hire, is introduced to us. While lying in wait in a forgotten Parisian office space, sitting with his own predatory silence, he explains his ethos in a bloodless, almost bored monotone. He is a pragmatist, a banisher of empathy, an organism holding itself to finely mechanistic standards of precision and accuracy.

Nothing is left to chance because chance does not exist.

Which makes it all the more difficult to reckon with the fact that he has just blown the shot he has spent days (weeks?) planning and anticipating, instead splattering a sex worker all over his intended target. And therein seems to lie the most Fincherian of jokes. After its languid opening sequence, one mistimed trigger pull tilts The Killer on its axis, shifting it from Zen-like meditative procedural on the business of murder to a bloody, sneakily comic, multi-continental study in damage control.

That this screenplay was adapted by Andrew Kevin Walker (from the series of graphic novels by Alexis Nolent and

Luc Jacamon) only helps to reinforce that everybody’s in on the joke. Walker gained notoriety for his collaboration with Fincher on Se7en (1995) which remains one of the most reviled/beloved, quotable thrillers of the decade (all time?). Like Fincher, he’s made a career of poking around in the darkness and bringing up wet sacks of unseemly stuff. Here, he gets to send his protagonist, a would-be cypher with more feelings than he should probably admit, out into the world of airports and restaurants, as well as to the usual scenes of multiple homicides.

I would not steal the humor from The Killer by cataloging or dissecting its jokes.

Rather, I would say it is an unrivalled genre exercise that balances its sickness with satire and demonstrates a mastery of craft that, like the Killer’s, is often as effective in disarray as when things go to plan. R. 118M. NETFLIX. DICKS: THE MUSICAL. A couple of swinging single guys, each a champion salesman in his own vacuum cleaner-parts distribution boiler room, are thrown together by an unexpected corporate merger. At which point, after a brief egoclash, they realize they are identical twins separated shortly after birth. As anyone would, they decide to switch places, each entering the home of the parent with whom the other grew up in order to rejoin their would-be family. Splashy song and dance numbers abound! God makes a number of appearances! Everybody learns something!

One could make a convincing case that this is an unproduced Preston Sturges treatment, some madcap late-’30s concept that just couldn’t get off the ground. But it’s the product of the minds of Aaron Jackson and Josh Sharp, who based the screenplay on their own improvised stage-play. They star as the two leads, with Megan Mulally and Nathan Lane as their parents. And it is the wildest, most unlikely, filthiest, funniest musical I’ve ever seen. Granted, I’m not usually a fan of the genre, but most examples don’t boast Sewer Boys and a sentient flying vagina. Or Megan Thee Stallion, for that matter.

Dicks: The Musical

Dicks to bow to any convention beyond traditional musical comedy structure makes it one of those charmed genre exercises that, in embracing limitation, truly transcends it. Director Larry Charles (Borat, 2006), clearly having as much fun as anybody in front of the camera, lends the whole affair an air of deceptive ease, turning stagebound-ness into an attribute and creating some of the most perversely memorable scenes and sequences in decades. To paraphrase my wife, to whom I offered no preamble or explanation, “WHAT ARE WE WATCHING?” R. 86M. STREAMING. l John J. Bennett (he/him) is a movie nerd who loves a good car chase.

ello. I’m the mayor of Schlong Beach. Despite my town’s name, you won’t find any “phallic symbols” here. We are fully phallic.

For example, the monuments to our heroes aren’t ambiguous columns. They are massive marble boners.

However, our town’s women rejected this sensibility, calling it “puerile” (whatever that means). So, they built a wall around a section of downtown and called it Vagican City. We have been unable to penetrate it.

At a city council meeting, the local marine biologist compared our mating situation to that of the West Coast’s giant acorn barnacle (Balanus nubilus).

He told us that barnacles live within hard calcium shells stuck to various solid substrates. And they are one of the few sessile animals that copulate. Evolution solved the barnacle’s obvious problem by selecting for longer penises. Relative to body size, the barnacle penis is up to eight times the length of its body. (That would be 50 feet for me.) With this maneuverable appendage, the hermaphroditic barnacles probe among their neighbors seeking receptive individuals.

The biologist guessed that if we somehow mimicked the barnacles, we could sling our penises over the wall and probe around for takers. One councilmember proposed a resolution to fund this project. But the marine biologist kept yammering on about giant acorn barnacles.

He told us that barnacles are crustaceans related to shrimp. A newly settled acorn barnacle glues its head to a suitable spot and builds an ever-expending shell around itself. Supposedly, the glue is among the strongest known natural glues and scientists are trying to replicate it for industrial use.

The barnacle also constructs a set of four calcium plates that form a beak-like operculum. The barnacle uses this structure to open and close its home to protect it from predators, and to prevent desiccation at low tide. When the operculum is open, it reveals the surrounding tissue’s pretty orange color.

The barnacle uses modified feathery legs called “cirri” to filter the water for bits of edible matter and small planktonic organisms. These cirri actively sweep the

water with a grabbing motion. When the cirri catch yummy things, they bring the objects into the shell and deliver them to the animal’s mouth.

When giant acorn barnacles die, the operculum detaches and each shell becomes a cup-like structure that is used as a home by animals such as small octopus, crabs and the grunt sculpin. In fact, the grunt sculpin is specialized for this habitat.

Its pectoral fins resemble the barnacle’s cirri and the top of the fish’s head looks like an operculum. This apparent mimicry presumably fools the fish’s predators.

Like other barnacles, the giant acorn barnacle often forms clusters. They are the world’s largest known barnacle, so some aggregations get big enough to be reef-like.

They tend to grow in high-energy waveswept areas, and clusters occasionally break loose and wash up. These clusters can make attractive specimens once the animals inside have rotted or been eaten away. Why the marine biologist thinks this is interesting or relevant is beyond me.

Anyway, through the magic of science fiction, the marine biologist created an elixir that gave each man the length and maneuverability required to probe beyond the wall. The councilmembers were the first to try. Unfortunately, the dogs of Vagican City were the first to notice. There ensued an epic tug-of-war accompanied by much growling and screaming.

But our marine biologist was clever. He did not drink the elixir himself. Instead, he used the Schlong Beach City Council’s entangled penises as rigging to climb over the wall where he fathered a new generation of marine biologists. l Biologist Mike Kelly (he/him) is also the author of the book Tigerfish: Traditional and Sport Fishing on the Niger River, Mali, West Africa. It’s available at Amazon or everywhere e-books are sold.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information.
