Lock the Entrance?

Editor: Before I can get behind a Caltrans project to combat sea level rise and protect U.S. Highway 101 between Eureka and Arcata, I need to know why another alternative won’t work (“Racing the Rise,” Nov. 11). Under the current plans I have seen, a myriad of private parties and public agencies each need to fix their part. For instance, along Jacobs Avenue, if Carl Johnsons raises their section of the levee but U-Haul doesn’t do theirs, they both get flooded, as does Murray Field and 15 other businesses. Going up the feeder streams to the bay and along its shoreline, there are probably 100 miles of shoreline in danger. Is everyone going to fix their own? I doubt it!

What I think should be looked at is a shipping and tidal lock system at the entrance to the bay. One half-mile installation holding back the higher ocean waters would negate the need to fix all of the individual problems around the bay. Except you have to worry about water coming up the Mad River estuary, but that is solvable. Will it work? I don’t know. But if it won’t, I would like someone to say that it was looked at and why it won’t work.

Also, everyone is looking at the high tide.

I have never seen the mention of the low tide rising. If the low tide rises to 7 feet, Murray Field cannot drain unless pumps are used. A large pump may be needed at the “entrance lock” also.

John Murray, Arcata

Time Warp Editor: The proposed Daylight Act (NCJ Daily, Nov. 11), which would allow individual states to observe Daylight Saving Time year-round, while continuing to give them the option of switching back and forth between Daylight Saving Time and Standard Time or staying on Standard Time year-round, is a recipe for disaster. Imagine the confusion that would ensue with a shifting checkerboard of Daylight and Standard across the nation all year, especially now that we’re in the Zoomocene.

In fact, we’ve been there and done that; from 1945 through 1966, inconsistent observance of Daylight Time across states resulted in massive confusion in the transportation and broadcasting industries. Furthermore, a recent poll showed that more Americans want to stay on Standard Time than either of the other options.

I lived in Indiana, which falls into two time zones, back in the day when it didn’t observe Daylight Time. It was confusing enough having part of the state in one time zone and the other part in another, but to make matters worse counties in the Louisville and Cincinnati metropolitan areas unofficially

observed Daylight Time in order to conform with those cities, which are in other states.

Driving west to east across southern Indiana in summer, you’d go from CST to EST to EDT then back to EST and back to EDT again. It was a nightmare. Picture that on a national level!

I have no real objection to remaining on Daylight Time year-round, although I would miss the time changes, but I think this is a case of national interest trumping states’ rights. If you agree, please write to Rep. Jared Huffman and ask him to withdraw his support for the Daylight Act. This also gives me the opportunity to rant publicly (for a change) about society’s chronic misuse of “PST,” “EST,” etc. Everybody seems to understand that the “S” in these acronyms stands for “Standard” but somehow fails to recognize that “Standard” means “not Daylight.” The Standard Time acronyms are doggedly, blindly, obsessively used yearround even though they’re inappropriate for the eight months of the year when the “S” should be replaced by “D.” I think this would exacerbate the problems caused by the Daylight Act.

Editor: I fully understand the grief of P. Givins (Mailbox, Nov. 11) at the spectacle of a giant fir tree, “Sugar Bear,” lying dead on a flatbed bound for D.C. But, if I might offer condolence, I was a little kid in NYC, where an equally celebrated tree was brought to Rockefeller Center every Christmas. Always gaspingly beautiful, the crowds were transfixed. City people had never imagined such a tree. Its scent and magnificence suggested an unknown world beyond the cement. A forest.

The great-late Yurok-Karuk-Tolowa woman Jene McCovey told a story about a little tree who received the gift of a song from a passing human and in gratitude offered humans its wood. I think Jene would be glad, thinking of all those city children, standing near our lovely white fir, breathing its spirit.

A spectacle that brings others of us grief is the ravages of PG&E slashing its way through California in the name of fire safety.

They are cutting trees that were mature before PG&E even existed. People don’t dare to stop this rogue corporation. However, as it treats its risk, PG&E is creating fire hazards.

Ground fuels will proliferate, the soils will dry, winds will increase speed. Habitat will diminish.

Forest defenders have been protecting Humboldt Redwoods State Park for more than a month. These trees were saved by a women’s blockade, including the mayor of Eureka’s wife, in 1924! Now, PG&E is cutting along the buffer, targeting even 300-year-old firs. No EIR, no permit.

And the park is silent.

The irony is, according to the Wall Street Journal, PG&E’s new CEO Patti Poppe has decided to put all its power lines underground, as Europe does.

PG&E, do a prudent trim, not this nihilistic madness!

Ratepayers will be grateful too.

Civil Grand Jury Reportedly Investigating Auditor-Controller

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

T

he Humboldt County Civil Grand Jury is investigating allegations of “deficiencies” and “poor service” in the Auditor-Controller’s Office, Fortuna Union High School District Superintendent Glen Senestraro told his Board of Trustees at its Nov. 10 meeting.

The board voted unanimously at its September meeting to send a complaint to the grand jury detailing allegations of how poor management in the Auditor-Controller’s Office has financially impacted the district, potentially leading to hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost funds. While introducing a letter of no-confidence in Auditor-Controller Karen Paz Dominguez to the board Nov. 10, Senestraro said he’s already been interviewed as a part of the grand jury’s probe.

“I can’t go into any more than that because I’ve been sworn to secrecy,” Senestraro said, noting that the civil grand jury process is strictly confidential.

News of the grand jury investigation — and the school board’s subsequent unanimous approval of a scathing letter of no confidence — add to a growing chorus of criticism of Paz Dominguez’s office amid concerns over its ability to

fulfill its various duties. It also adds to a growing body of evidence that the discord is spilling out of the halls of county government.

The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors met in closed session Nov. 9 to discuss potential exposure to litigation after receiving a letter purporting to be from an anonymous group of county employees — including two department heads — alleging “fiduciary shortfalls” and “financial missteps,” and threatening a lawsuit. The same day, an item listed on the board’s open session agenda as a progress report on the transition of county payroll services to the Auditor-Controller’s Office drew a battery of comment from county department heads, employees and members of the public, much of it pointedly critical of the Auditor-Controller’s Office. And this came days after the county’s Workforce Development Board’s Executive Committee voted unanimously, with Humboldt County Second District Supervisor Michelle Bushnell abstaining, to put a no-confidence vote in the office on the full board’s agenda for its Nov. 19 meeting.

The most prominent issue for the Workforce Development Board is the

Karen Paz Dominguez Submitted

county’s single audit report for fiscal year 2019-2020, which has not been completed despite the county’s having hired an outside firm to take on the task. This could pose a significant problem for the board, as the audit is now past due under federal law, which requires them of any non-federal entity that spends more than $750,000 in federal funds in a year, which the county’s Economic Development Department does. Executive committee members and Economic Development Director Scott Adair expressed worry the outstanding audit could prompt the federal government to freeze funding of county programs.

“It’s a huge deal and our county has historically completed these, as far as I understand, every year in the past because it is required,” Adair told the committee.

Back in August, the outside firm hired to finish the single audit, CliftonLarsonAllen LLP, wrote the board of supervisors

to notify the county it would be unable to finish its audit report by the Sept. 30 due date it had agreed to due to delays in receiving requested documents — namely the county’s trial balance and related general ledger reports — from the Auditor-Controller’s Office. The firm then followed up a few weeks later with another letter, saying its work had again been “delayed due to several key audit requests that have not been provided” and the firm was “therefore withdrawing” from the process, at least until February, “assuming the county is able to provide us all our open audit requests” that have currently been made by Dec. 31.

“We have reached out to the county through email and telephone and by submitting our requests and selections through the portal established for the Auditor-Controller’s Office,” the firm wrote. “As of Sept. 10, 2021, we still have not been able to formalize a plan with Continued on next page »

the county for completing the audit.”

When contacted by the Lost Coast Outpost about the Workforce Development Board Executive Committee’s meeting, Paz Dominguez seemed unaware the firm had withdrawn, at least temporarily from the single audit process, saying that while the process had been delayed by staff turnover, COVID-19 and other issues, she believed the firm had all it needed and expected the audit would “be published by our external auditors within the next three months.”

Paz Dominguez has been a polarizing figure in county government since before her election in 2018, which came on the heels of her raising questions about the office’s operations and whether it was providing sufficient oversight on spending of taxpayer monies. While she has billed herself as a reform agent working diligently to protect the county against fraud and waste in the face of lackadaisical safeguards, her tenure has been dogged by complaints from within county government that her office is unresponsive while missing numerous and vital deadlines, putting county reimbursements and funding streams at risk and leaving some county vendors unpaid. Paz Build to edge of the document Margins are just a safe area

Dominguez has maintained her office is understaffed and other county departments’ accounting and documentation processes have often made it impossible to reconcile the county’s books in a timely manner. Many of the frustrations, she has maintained, stem from her reforming the office from one that “rubber stamps” fiscal documents from other departments to one that truly protects the public interest.

The board of supervisors voted 4-1, with Fifth District Supervisor Steve Madrone dissenting, to hire an independent third-party to investigate allegations of workplace misconduct and delayed payments related to five complaints it had received regarding Paz Dominguez.

Since then, the discord — and dysfunction, some would charge — has only continued, with outside agencies now joining the chorus.

First 5 Humboldt Executive Director Mary Ann Hansen recently reported that her organization’s annual audit missed a state deadline due to late reporting by the Auditor-Controller’s Office. Because the organization is funded through tax revenue, it’s dependent on the county to provide year-end fund balances and

other accountings. Hansen also said the office had been nonresponsive for a couple of months, despite numerous attempts by First 5 to make contact and get answers. Hansen later told the Lost Coast Outpost First 5 had asked for a deadline extension from the state for the first time in 20 years.

In presenting the Fortuna Unified High School District Board of Trustees with a draft no-confidence letter in Paz-Dominguez to be sent to the board of supervisors, Senestraro said he tried to be “nice” and “brief” when drafting the letter, which charges the auditor-controller with a “dereliction of duty,” while questioning her professionalism and the quality of her work.

The letter charges that the Auditor-Controller’s Office has not yet closed the books for “any month” during the 2020-2021 fiscal year, failed to post interest and missed the statutory deadline for posting property taxes each of the last two years, all of which “has resulted in major fiscal implications for our small district.”

Trustee Jeanne McClendon also noted the district had to take out a loan due to cash flow problems it blames on late dis-

20th Annual

bursements from the Auditor-Controller’s Office, while another trustee trusteesaid the district has not yet received any interest payments from the 2020-2021 fiscal year, which the district alleges total roughly $80,000. Countywide, some $2 million is owed to school districts, the Trustee Anita Gauge said. Senestraro lamented that other local districts have yet to raise a fuss, at least publicly.

“I don’t think anyone has stepped up,” he said. “It’s unfortunate because I think our county office should be taking this on for the districts.”

The Workforce Development Board will take up its possible no-confidence vote Nov. 19 and has reportedly invited to Paz-Dominguez to attend and respond to the allegations facing her office. The meeting’s agenda — and a link to join via Zoom — can be found on the county’s website, www.humboldtgov.org. l Thadeus Greenson (he/him) is the Journal’s news editor.

HumCo’s COVID Test-Positivity Rate Ticks Back Up

A

s the Journal went to press Nov. 16, Humboldt County Public Health confirmed 32 new cases of COVID-19, while also reporting one new hospitaliza-

pharmacies and pediatricians have begun scheduling appointments. Public Health, meanwhile, announced it will hold several pediatric and family vaccination clinics for children ages 5 to 11. Appointments will be required and can be made on the state’s vaccine portal, www.myturn.ca.gov. Boosters will not be available at these clinics.

“Pediatric clinics will offer vaccine to children ages 5 to 11 only. Family clinics give priority to children ages 5 to 11, but parents and guardians of children who are getting vaccinated can receive any dose of the COVID-19 vaccine,” a news release states. “Due to a sharp increase in demand, walk-ins are not allowed at family and pediatric clinics for children ages 5 to 11 at this time.”

As of the start of November, 7 percent of the county’s cases recorded to date — 685 in total — had been confirmed in children ages 5 to 11.

Public Health also reported recently that health officials are urging all eligible residents to get COVID-19 booster shots after federal regulators accepted recommendations recently to expand booster options to Moderna and Johnson and Johnson vaccines.

Moderna boosters can be administered to those 65 years and older, those residing in long-term care facilities, people 50 and

tion.

The cases made 417 locally through the first 16 days of the month, a decrease from the 474 confirmed through the first 16 days of October. However, the numbers aren’t all trending in a positive direction.

Last month, Humboldt County recorded a test-positivity rate of 12.1 percent — down substantially from its peak of 15.9 percent in August but through the first weeks of November, the number had climbed back up to 14.2 percent. While that’s down from Humboldt County’s peak of 15.9 percent in August, it still far outpaces the rates of the state (2 percent) and nation (5.4 percent.)

As of Nov. 16, a state database showed 11 people hospitalized locally with COVID-19, with two under intensive care.

While those numbers are far below Sept.

3, when the hospital census peaked at 42 COVID-19 patients, they are still elevated enough to impact Humboldt County’s fragile healthcare system.

The Food and Drug Administration, meanwhile, recently authorized the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for emergency use for children 5 to 11 years old and local

The nearest grocery store, Safeway in Crescent City, lies 24 miles away along a stretch of road frequently plagued by landslides and toppled redwoods — last summer it was closed for 20 hours a day due to a washout — making queues to get through the roadwork up to five hours long.

As a lifelong reservation resident, Gen-

saw recalls when fresh food was abundant.

“I grew up with fish patties, rice and fish, noodles and fish, salmon sandwiches, dried fish,” she remembers fondly. “We never understood how lucky we were, that it was going to go away.”

The Yurok reservation where Gensaw lives sits on a a remote strip of land that snakes shoulder to shoulder with the final 44 miles of the Klamath River alongside the misty Northern California coast. In 2001, drought descended on the Klamath Basin, the watershed that feeds the river. Due to a history of water mismanagement in the basin, combined with an historic drought, the river is sick — and the Yurok are too.

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Nov. 18, 2021 • northcoastjournal.com

The salmon they’ve long depended on as both dietary staple and cultural cornerstone have become scarce. Combined with the lack of food sovereignty, it has prompted the need to fight for their main sources of nutrition and for their very way of life, they say. Yurok women, traditionally their tribe’s caregivers and food providers, bear the brunt of the food and health crisis while leading the fight for cultural preservation.

“The situation has gotten so bad that I don’t even know what kind of loss to compare it to. Because there’s no replacing salmon,” Gensaw says, her voice breaking. “My babies were meant to eat

Klamath River salmon.”

In a community whose median income is $11,000, with unemployment rates as high as 80 percent, with some 35 percent living below the poverty line and most of the population in a food desert, the result is a serious impact on their nutrition sources and health. A 2019 University of California at Berkeley study of Native communities in the Klamath Basin found “91.89 percent of households suffering from some level of food insecurity and over half experiencing very low food security.”

Food sovereignty — the right to healthy and culturally appropriate food

produced through ecologically sound and sustainable methods — is linked to Yurok Tribe members’ rights and cultural identity as well as their nutrition and health. The tribe’s former general counsel Amy Cordalis finds being a Yurok woman provides her a unique vantage point from which to hold the U.S. government accountable on this issue to ensure her people’s health and way of life.

“I translate between Yurok cultural values and this colonized American law,” Cordalis, a mother of two and lifelong fisherwoman who has been part of her tribe’s legal team since 2014, tells The Fuller Project. “You can’t exercise the right to eat your traditional foods if there are no traditional foods. So the fight for a clean, healthy river is inextricably tied to the ability to exercise food sovereignty.”

Earlier this year, a fish kill of enormous magnitude left 70 percent of juvenile salmon dead, according to Yurok biologists. Tribal scientists later found the deadly pathogen Ceratonova shasta, which spreads due to low water quality and piscine stress, present in 97 percent of the fish they captured. The Yurok, who usually run a commercial fishery to bring in much needed income, have had their fishing rights severely curtailed to protect the remaining salmon population.

Gensaw has long campaigned for a healthier river: organizing rallies, attending state water board meetings and helping negotiate with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which governs the dams the Yurok say have ruined the ecosystem and endangered the salmon population. She sees the ill effects of salmon scarcity, especially on children.

Without fish in their diet, there are “a lot more chubbier, overweight kids,” Gensaw says. “As moms, we talk about it a lot.

Queenie is my first kid without a steady diet of salmon, and I can dramatically see the difference,” referring to her 5 year old and her older children, ages 9 and 17.

The children’s changed diets are affecting their health.

Terry Raymer, a diabetes expert at the United Health Services in Arcata, south of Klamath, treats Yurok pre-teens who, he says, have a “very significant elevated body mass index,” putting them at increased risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

One 2021 report from the American Academy of Pediatrics said that Native

American youths have “excessive disease rates compared with the general pediatric population,” with children aged 2 to 5 having a higher combined prevalence of overweight and obesity — at 58.8 percent — than children of any other ethnicity or race. And it’s not just the children: The UC Berkeley study noted high levels of disease related to poor diet in the Klamath Basin tribes, “with 83.58 percent of all households reporting at least one person in their household suffering from a diet/ lifestyle related health issue including high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and cavities.”

In 2017, the Yurok Tribe secured additional water flows for salmon under the Endangered Species Act and challenged faulty data that U.S. government agencies used to determine water levels needed to protect salmon in a case that Cordalis contributed to. Now she is fighting both for dam removal, to improve water quality and help the salmon populations recover, and for access to land owned by logging companies that contain traditional foods like the oak trees that produce acorns, a staple of the Native American diet for generations and to which Yurok mothers are turning to increasingly to feed their families as the salmon dwindle.

(Under the Dawes Act, Native Americans were purposely allocated land of poor agricultural quality. Ancestral land once spanned almost a half million acres, giving the tribes plenty of land to fish, farm and forage, but the U.S. government confined the tribe to just 10 percent of that area.)

A 2019 study in the journal Food Security noted that for the Yurok and other Native peoples, restoring access to Native foods lost due to colonialism is key to “revitalizing culture and restoring community health and well-being.”

Yurok activist Annelia Hillman, 46, recruits young Yurok members to help wage her people’s long struggle against loggers, farmers and the U.S. government — not only for land and resources rights, but also for the very health and welfare of their tribe. “We need the next generation to carry on this work,” Hillman says, speaking of the activism she has been involved in for more than half her life, “so they can establish their identity as Indigenous people and challenge institutional systems.”

The Yurok women may have a powerful ally in Deb Haaland, the first Native American woman to serve as Secretary of the

Interior. A member of the Laguna Pueblo Tribe, Haaland wrote to FERC supporting the removal of the PacifiCorp dam early this year, noting that doing so would have many benefits, including “protect[ing] public health.” But when Haaland, who taught Cordalis in her pre-law program, visited the Yurok reservation in August, she addressed several issues — but not the salmon or health crisis. “We are thrilled she’s here,” says Cordalis. “But she [didn’t] visit the river, and we were very disappointed about that.”

The Department of the Interior has not responded to queries from The Fuller Project as to Haaland’s stances on Yurok food sovereignty and protecting the Klamath River and its salmon.

The director of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Office of Tribal Relations said the health of indigenous children is of paramount importance to that agency. “Long term, we are looking

to support and foster local tribal food sovereignty initiatives to increase locally grown and indigenous foods to help restore indigenous food ways and protect better against food insecurity,” Heather Thompson tells The Fuller Project. Thompson, a member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe who previously represented the Yurok while working at a private law firm, says she believes one of the most important issues for Indigenous women is the “health and nutrition of our children and families.”

For Gensaw, that means restoring the river and its salmon population to health, because when the fish thrive, so do the children and families. “No fish means no food,” she says. “Our communities depend on the river for sustenance.” l This story was originally published by The Fuller Project and The Guardian.

Bob’s Footlong Closing After 72 Years

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill onthetable@northcoastjournal.com

heyenne Moreno places a split open footlong hot dog on the flat-top grill behind the counter at Bob’s Footlong. The link hisses louder when she drops a grill press on it and turns to warm the bun on the neighboring grill. She flips the dog and covers it in cheese slices and an aluminum dome to speed the melting. A minute later, with the hot dog splayed over its mustard-streaked bun, she’s spooning on a flood of mild meatand-bean chili, asking more of the fluted paper tray than it can manage. Shredded cheese, a handful of chopped onions and Fortuna’s signature forearm-length chili cheese dog — destroyer of shirts and resolutions — is ready.

According to the brief history on the shop’s website, Bob’s Footlong was founded in 1949 by Bob Broome and Lula Mclure as a mobile business set up at the Humboldt County Fair and later by the Fortuna movie theater on Main Street. For the last three years, Cheyenne’s parents Jose and Tanya Moreno have owned and run the local institution at the brick and mortar location on 12th Street, where it’s been slinging milkshakes, burgers, dogs and fries since 1967.

Now the restaurant is for sale and the Morenos have announced it’s shutting its doors Nov. 19.

On a Friday afternoon, Tanya Moreno takes a break from the grill between rushes and sits in the last wood-grained laminate booth in the back. She straightens her tie-dyed Bob’s shirt and rubs her eyes. Owning a restaurant, she admits, was her husband’s dream, not hers, and with his other job, he hasn’t been able to be at the restaurant as much as they’d initially hoped.

The first year, Tanya says, customer nostalgia ran high and business was good.

“We had heard the community say they wanted it to stay the same,” she says. To that end, she reached out to Karen and Mike Smith, whose parents Ozzie and Joanne bought Bob’s from its founders before passing it down to them, and got the original chili recipe, which bubbles in the kitchen today. Tanya says it was well received, though some, she adds with a chuckle, insisted the new owners had changed the chili.

But for the addition of a fancy red espresso machine, Tanya, who has been coming to Bob’s for milkshakes and hot dogs since she was a teenager, says the Continued on next page » northcoastjournal.com • Thursday, Nov. 18, 2021 • NORTH COAST JOURNAL

food and the atmosphere remain the same.

When the pandemic and shelter in place hit Humboldt, Tanya says Bob’s only closed for a couple weeks before shifting to curbside pickup and delivery. While regulars still came by, it was slow going. A pair of Payroll Protection Plan loans kept the business afloat and the dozen or so mostly part-time employees paid. But that ended two months ago. “It’s been downhill from there,” says Tanya.

More customers drift in, ordering through Plexiglas barriers at the counter while Tanya’s daughter works the fryer and coworker Teresa Diaz blends a milkshake at the whirring machine on the opposite end of the open kitchen.

Before Bob’s, Tanya, who’d done hair for a while and is looking forward to a data entry job she already has lined up, had never worked in food service. Hiring and managing employees — and finding replacements or covering their shifts herself at the last minute — has been hard, she says. Since losing her manager, Tanya says she’s been on duty full time and, after taxes and other overhead, it just isn’t worth it.

“The restaurant business is tough.

People are cranky,” Tanya says, and not everyone understands cooking burgers and fries to order takes longer than slipping a pre-made Happy Meal into a bag.

With giggle, she adds, “They think we’re fast food and they’re huffin’ and stompin’

their feet.”

Still, Tanya is confident someone with more experience and a passion for the business could do well with Bob’s Footlong, given its storied history and following. She points out that a new owner could easily convert the space into another kind of restaurant, though she’d miss the soft serve milkshakes. The business and all its attending equipment are on the market for $170,000. “I don’t know about the chili recipe, though,” says Tanya. “That was Karen’s.”

Since posting the impending closure on Facebook on Nov. 9, the staff has been slammed with customers scrambling for one last order, a financial boost that will help with mounting expenses.

Another laugh bubbles up as she asks, “Where were these people?”

Asked if she’ll miss anything about owning the restaurant, she smiles and answers, “Sorry, no,” before quickly amending that she’ll miss the young people who work there alongside her and her daughter. “They’re always happy,” she says, glancing at Cheyenne and Diaz behind the counter. “They’ve got great energy — they’re laughing.” l Jennifer Fumiko Cahill (she/her) is the arts and features editor at the Journal.

GET OUT

Around Mount Tamalpais In the footsteps of the Beats

By David Holper

I

getout@northcoastjournal.com grew up in the shadow of Mount Tamalpais in Marin County. I explored fire roads and trails, even sneaking onto the peak the night before high school graduation with friends and then toasting the sunrise with oranges and champagne before hiking down to the Mountain Theater for graduation. I also grew up in the shadow of the Beat Generation and in high school fell in love with Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg and Gary Snyder.

Little did I know how connected those threads were. Until recently, I had never read Snyder’s poem “The Circumambulation of Mount Tamalpais.” Snyder studied Buddhism in Japan, where the monks trained him in the spiritual practice of circling a peak. When he returned to the U.S., he enlisted his friends Phillip Whalen and Allen Ginsberg to circumnavigate Mount Tamalpais, complete with Buddhist and Hindu prayers, sutras and the sounding of a conch at 10 stops along the route. People who’ve read his poem about it have been following in their footsteps for the last 56 years. In fact, Snyder once led thousands of people on that hike, a group so large he couldn’t even see the end of the line of hikers.

After this discovery, I decided I had to hike the route myself. I invited my older daughter Dena, informing her about the 15-mile route and 3,000 feet of climbing. She hesitated but agreed. I wasn’t worried about her. In fact, I spent the next six weeks training, so I wouldn’t fall behind her.

My first hike was Ossagon Rocks Trail in Redwood National Park. Although a mere 3.6 miles roundtrip from the trailhead to the beach and back, the 730-foot climb left me winded. A few days later, I hiked the James Irvine Trail (out of Prairie Creek State Park) to Fern Canyon and back, a 10.4-mile trek with a 1,404-foot

elevation gain. After that, I tried the Elk River Trail in Headwaters Reserve, which is 10.7 miles and 1,460 feet of climbing.

By this point, I felt ready for something harder, so I tried Dolason Prairie to Emerald Creek and back, a 10.4-mile hike but with a 2,490-foot ascent. Essentially, it’s all downhill to the creek and then a slog back up to the Bald Hills trailhead. A week later, I added the stretch to the Tall Trees Grove, which turned the hike into 12.9 miles and 3,390 feet of climbing. I capped off my training by hiking Grasshopper Peak in Southern Humboldt, the most challenging of all the hikes so far — 13.4 miles and 3,379 feet of climbing, some at a 30 percent grade. It kicked my butt, to be sure, but I felt ready.

On the Saturday of the hike, we got up early, drove to Muir Woods and started. The fall weather was crisp and perfect. Runners, hikers and bikers were out in force, and people hailed us as we ascended the Dipsea Trail. As we emerged into prairie, we peered south to a spectacular view of the Golden Gate Bridge, a huge tanker just heading west through the Potato Patch. We ascended to Pan Toll, crossed the road and then climbed through both forests and meadows. At the Mountain Theater, I described for my daughter how it had looked in 1976, with graduates in red, white and blue gowns, the theater packed.

From there, we took the Benstein Trail to Portrero Meadows — before the trail leveled out and brought us to the North Side Trail. On this drier side, we peered out over the Marin hills and lakes. Ahead, we saw the fire lookout on the East Peak, which was built by the same Civilian Conservation Corps members as the Mountain Theater during the Great Depression.

This turned out to be our hardest ascent of the day.

Once there, we stopped for a much-needed lunch. Someone snapped a shot of us at the peak and we both took pictures of the bay, which was flecked with sailboats. It was so clear I could easily make out Point Reyes to the northwest, Mount St. Helena and Mount Diablo to the east. And because it t was Fleet Week, we saw and heard the Blue Angels roaring over the bay.

Our descent turned out to be the hardest section. Unlike Snyder and his fellow Buddhist poets, who descended down Hogback Trail, closed years ago to prevent erosion, we took the Fern Creek Trail, which was the hot and steep — steeper still along the Hogback Fire Road.

At Mountain Home, we picked up the Canopy Trail but we were both pretty spent. Fortunately, the last 1.7 miles was downhill in the shade, so we trudged through the redwoods until we arrived at our car.

Driving back to San Francisco, we were both stoked we had finished. But it wasn’t just the challenging hike. It was a blessing to be able to walk together all around the mountain and in the footsteps of the Beats. Though we didn’t stop at the 10 prayer sites, recite Buddhist prayers or sound a conch as Snyder and his friends had done, there was still a spirituality in sharing the day with one another, sharing in the literary history of the mountain and the people who have walked its ways before us. ●

he surge in flows brought by the atmospheric river in late October was a blessing in so many ways. It put an end to another horrible fire season, began to fill our parched reservoirs and created perfect river conditions for the late-run fall king salmon to make their way from the Pacific to their spawning grounds. On the flipside, it washed away hopes of a prolonged salmon season for us anglers. The Smith, Chetco and Eel are all on the tail end of the runs that would typically still be going strong. Me personally, I’ll take an atmospheric river event any day if it means three to four years down the road our rivers will once again see healthy returns of salmon. So, as the salmon take care of business in their home tributaries, we’ll sit back and wait for signs of the impending winter steelhead run and know our salmon future looks a little brighter.

The Oceans Eureka

The Pacific halibut season came to a close Monday and the fishing was good right up to the end. Tim Klassen, of Reel Steel Sport Fishing, spent a few hours on the halibut grounds getting limits for his crew. “The fish were all in the 15- to 18-pound range,” said Klassen. “It was a good way to end the season. The alldepths rockfish season has offered some good fishing, too. We’ve been out a few days and had limits of mostly canaries and yellowtail, but the lingcod have been hard to come by. The crabbing has been very good. The crabs are a nice size, and they’re pretty full. On an overnight soak,

pots are averaging 13 to 15 keepers in 80 to 120 feet of water.”

Shelter Cove

According to Jake Mitchell of Sea Hawk Sport Fishing, limits of rockfish, lingcod and crabs were fairly easy to come by this week. “The crabs aren’t huge, but they’re nice and full,” he said.

“We fished a couple days up at Rodgers break and the rest down off Bear Harbor.

Both locations produced really easy rockfish limits, but we had to work a little harder to get our lingcod.”

Mad River Steelhead Derby Starts Dec. 18

The Nor-Cal Guides and Sportsmen’s Association (NCGASA) is hosting its third annual Mad River Steelhead Derby from Dec. 18 through Feb. 28. Anglers must be signed up prior to Dec. 18 to be eligible to win cash and prizes. Only hatchery steelhead can be entered. The largest steelhead wins $500, second place $300 and third place $150. First place in the youth division (16 and under) will win a $175 RMI Outdoors gift card, second and third place finishers will win prizes TBA. Anglers can sign up online at www.ncgasa.org or in person at RMI Outdoors. Part of the proceeds benefit the Mad River Steelhead Stewards volunteer angler›s broodstock collection program that works in concert with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. For more information, visit www.madriversteelheaderby.com.

The Rivers: Smith

The Smith has been running low and clear, but did receive a bump in flows following Monday’s rain. Another slight increase is forecast for Friday, but the river will likely remain clear. The fishing has been very tough, with not many fish moving into the system, but the fish that are being caught have been nice ones. Fishing pressure has been very light.

Chetco

Salmon season is already tapering off on the Chetco, as the prolonged high water allowed much of this year’s run to shoot upstream to spawn, reports Andy Martin of Wild Rivers Fishing. “Fishing has been fair at best since the river dropped back into shape the end of last week,” he said. “Salmon will continue to trickle in each day, but with higher flows, those fish may not spend much time in the lower river. Some nice kings have been caught, with a few topping 50 pounds reported last week.” ● Read the complete fishing report at www.northcoastjournal.com.

SETLIST

Little Graces Sara Milonovich and

Greg Anderson at the Arcata Playhouse

By Collin Yeo

music@northcoastjournal.com

L

ately I’ve been focusing on small graces and pleasures: a walk in nature with a loved one, a good meal, seeing a cool bird, or reading something full of brilliance and (maybe a bit too much) hope, like Kim Stanley Robinson’s excellent novel The Ministry for the Future. Even a chance meeting with an old friend has the potential for a weighted burst of meaning and emotion these days. I met one recently whom I hadn’t seen since she barely survived a tough pregnancy last year, and shooting the shit with her again was an experience that haunted me with its humble purity. There is so much that is wrong with our path as a nation, as a species, as moral and ethical beings, that nearly anything that isn’t greasing the skids of annihilation can contain a gloriously delicate and effervescent beauty like butterfly dust. As Leonard Cohen said, “Even damnation is poisoned with rainbows.”

So it was in that headstate that I agreed to attend the first touring act show at the Arcata Playhouse since this rotten pandemic got loose. As with my experience at the Eureka Symphony, I’m only reviewing shows with a mask and vax card policy. The people at the playhouse had that together nicely for the Nov. 12 show, so I settled in for an evening with two musicians I had never heard before: singer, songwriter and fiddle player Sara Milonovich and her musical partner, guitarist Greg Anderson. Prior to the age of COVID, my relationship with folk and bluegrass was one of constant saturation; it’s everywhere around these parts. You can’t swing a cat (I would never) without hitting a folk musician. And while there are definitely some incredibly talented workers of the form, it’s unusual for the stuff to grab my attention for very long.

Truth be told, I’ve always been more of a

jazz, punk and metal guy.

However, there was something in the energy of the room that night, if only because we were there in the audience again and seeing a touring act. Playhouse honcho Jacqueline Dandeneau certainly seemed to feel it in her emotional introduction to the evening, and the audience was very tuned in to the notion that this might be something special. As it turned out, it was indeed.

Early in the set, Milonovich broke whatever tension was in the air due to the circumstances of plague life by thanking us for being so receptive and agreeable. A woman’s voice came out of the darkness behind me, saying, “We’re so happy to hear lovely live music again.” Amen to that, sister.

Milonovich and Anderson played superbly, noticeably settling in after a warmup with the first couple of numbers.

Milonovich is a world class fiddler and very talented singer, and her accompanist has a simple versatility with the acoustic guitar that sounds a lot easier than it is to accomplish. These musicians are obvious lifers. That life takes place mainly, we were told during one of Milonovich’s many stories and interactions with the audience, in the Hudson River Valley, around the town of Beacon, New York. Over the course of two hearty sets bifurcated by a nice intermission, she sang songs about love and loss, death and survival, the Hudson River and Interstate 87. The setlist drew heavily from her latest release, Northeast, a record full of the lively fiddle-work of bluegrass and the gentle country ruminations of contemporary folk. At one point she laughed about the dreadfully high body count of the former genre’s murder ballad-filled music, noting, “A bluegrass song is not a safe place for a woman.” She suggested that major keys and speedy

tempos were the secret delivery system for morose and violent lyrics. The banter was great and the two performers seemed to feel at ease talking to each other and at us. Milonovich noted that this was their first road show since the pandemic began but that she would bury her emotions to a presentable level because she had forgotten to pack “the waterproof mascara.”

For me there were two unmistakable highlights of the evening and they were both covers: A sad and spooky version of Hurray for the Riff Raff ’s “The Body Electric,” and an absolutely meteoric interpretation of Led Zeppelin’s “Friends,” the penultimate performance position of which left a crater no encore could hope to fill. It’s a state I have often felt before, blissed-out during moments of live music fusillades at much heavier shows.

I went home that evening feeling about as good as I have for as far back as I can recall — the brain-muddling fog of this current world of ours is a very real phenomenon. Nothing has been solved, or resolved, and we are all still living in a precarious position in an ugly world of human corruption, violence and venality.

However, if those little joys and graces, which floated out during the show in abundance like the spitting embers of a midnight campfire, can do anything, they can warm us and they can bring us light. And miracle of miracles, as I write this right now, I can still feel a bit of that warming illumination. The performers, the audience and the good people at the Arcata Playhouse have my thanks.

Star Power Red Notice and Finch

By John J. Bennett

screens@northcoastjournal.com RED NOTICE. For the right project, it’s hard to imagine a better starting trio than Gal Gadot, Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds. They’ve got the sarcasm, charisma and sex appeal that one imagines audiences long for in movie stars. And as these three continue to work steadily in the spotlight, most of us are on board.

One wonders, though, if any of them has really found the aforementioned right project, individually or collectively.

Red Notice perhaps isn’t it. (The plot’s a bit of globe-trotting about art thieves and a federal agent pursuing them. No fair guessing who’s who.) Or maybe it is, and I should just abandon my hope for something more compelling or elevated.

The movie did, however, open to Netflix’s widest single-event viewership to date.

What that means, either about the tastes of the audience or the movie industry at large, like so much else in contemporary life, remains to be seen.

The thing I’m wrestling with is the notion of star power in the modern world: Do movie stars hold a position of significance, or even relevance? Are the stars of Red Notice really movie stars or, as I have become more inclined to think, a new hybrid, thrust forth by a perhaps-dying industry to fill the void between screen-stars of old and the manufactured identities and influencers of the social media age?

Johnson, at least according to the statistics, is the most successful actor we’ve got. He is at the center of more projects than I care to consider and he earns bigger than anybody. But even he migrated to the industry from another, newer, more hustle-based one. He’s remade himself, from a heel to a hero to everybody’s favorite bodybuilder uncle. His acumen is remarkable, business sense all-but impeccable and he makes for a compelling screen presence. But even he may not actually be a Movie Star, despite what the marketing would have us believe.

Gadot, likewise, has made an outstanding Wonder Woman, seems very adept at the red carpet and isn’t above taking a few comedic risks. And Reynolds, whom I’ve quietly championed, if only for his acerbic delivery and unrelenting commitment to breaking through, has been instrumental in the success of the

Deadpool franchise; it’s debatable whether those movies would even exist without him. But his greatest successes — and Gadot’s, arguably — have been in roles somewhat peripheral to the more major players in comic book adaptations (read: the apparent future of cinema).

But star power, by my probably outmoded metric, is something more ephemeral and yet somehow more substantial: the ability to command the attention not only of the audience, but of the camera. It’s a skill — studied, innate, probably both —understanding the dynamics of a performance as it plays out onscreen, after being re-shot and edited and sound-edited and color-corrected and marketed ad nauseum; it’s the creation of moments that can transcend all the time and the tinkering between their inception and our observation of them.

Even some of the greats have been laid low by bad writing, the meddling of egos or simple distrust. And clearly, writer/ director Rawson Marshall Thurber, seems to be as stuck in two eras as Johnson, with whom he previously collaborated on Central Intelligence (2016) and Skyscraper (2018). Thurber, at play on the big stage, with big names and bigger budgets, is clearly enamored of the action-comedies of the ’80s upon which so many of us suckled. Even though he acknowledges those influences (maybe here more than ever), his homage doesn’t do much to move the material in any direction, much less forward. There was and is a sense of danger and discovery to the movies of that bygone era that just isn’t present here. Style for style’s sake, sure, but not really in service of the story or the audience’s enjoyment. And maybe the cast is perfect by that standard: superficially available and accessible but ultimately more restricted and manufactured than in

No idea where we parked. days past. PG13. 118M. NETFLIX FINCH. I didn’t intend for this to be such a distinct contrast, and I won’t belabor it because it makes me feel old, and the last time I liked a sentient robot movie (Chappie, 2015) people made fun of me.

But I quite liked Finch, a sort of sorrowful buddy comedy set in the near future, after a solar flare, electromagnetic pulse and the savagery of humanity has rendered most of the United States all but uninhabitable.

Whereas Red Notice can put three of our marquee stars into exquisite clothes, cracking wise and sexy inside an oligarch’s manse bristling with guns, but still fails to produce a remarkable sequence, Finch gives Tom Hanks a dog and a homebuilt sidekick named Jeff (voiced by Caleb Landry Jones) for scene partners and it’s impossible to look away.

Would I rather look at the stars of Red Notice? I would have thought so. But Hanks brings a yeoman-like quality to his performance that transcends notions of celebrity and cool; he’s a movie star in that he can make every frame memorable, with words or without.

In the late 90s Larry decided to go back to school. He became a Journeyman electrician and was proud to be a member of the trades.

“Larry and I decided we needed a dog, Tonya said, so we bought a Field Spaniel puppy”. The breeder lived About 30 minutes away in a beautiful house with an airstrip and a swimming pool. One day, shortly after we got Chester—yes, he named his dog after his late father— she said, ‘If you want to keep the dog, I want you to show him.’

“We thought, mistakenly, that it would be like showing cows in 4-H. Larry accepted the challenge and spent a lot of time in the breeder’s airplane hangar, learning how to show dogs. His first showing was at Portland’s Rose City Dog Show. I was at work, and he called me to say he was scared to death. He and Chester had won! And he had to hang around until evening to go with the other winners on ‘Animal Planet.’ When the episode showed, Larry—who thought he looked “like a fat Don Knotts”-was relieved. Chester was the star; only Larry’s feet made the frame. Later in Redmond, Oregon, at the Field Spaniel West Coast Regionals, Chester won again, easily. The judge said it was because of Chester’s muscle tone. Larry, the breeder, and I knew why: all summer long, while we were home with our window air conditioner, Chester had been with the breeder, his “grandmother,” swimming all day, every day in the elegant pool. It’s a dog’s life.

In 2004, when Tonya was 50, she and Larry rode the ferry to Victoria, B.C. to celebrate. Upon arrival in Canada, Larry was detained by border officials. Turned out about 30 years earlier, he was 18 and in the state of Washington visiting his cousins. They camped out near a

Judge of theriding Superior CourtSo, they all decided to ride cows.

Not enough for Larry. He decided to one-up and do it in 11/18, 11/25, 12/2, 12/9 (21−411) the nude. Not surprisingly, the farmer was alerted, and he called the police. They arrived to find Larry trotting down the country road, naked on the back of a cow. The cops followed him, with lights and sirens that frightened the cow into running faster.

Larry and all the cousins were arrested and arraigned and charged with cattle rustling, but when the judge heard that Larry had been naked, he dropped the charges.

Canada never got the memo.

But someone did. When Larry was in the hospital for gall bladder issues a few years back, he figured out the place where people snuck out to smoke, only to realize after he was outside that the door had locked behind him. To get back into the hospital, he had to walk down the busy Tualatin street for about a mile, pulling an IV, and with his open-backed hospital gown revealing the usual view. When he finally reached the emergency room entrance, a hospital employee working outside glanced up, looked him over, and said, “You Larry?”

In 2016, the Detlefsen family in California needed a caretaker for Tonya’s 101-year-old mother, Maxine. Larry volunteered and moved to Ferndale.

When he first arrived, Tonya told him, “Mom will be having ladies from her church’s Bible study stopping by to visit.” Larry was eager to please everyone, so he made cookies and tea every time they showed up. About the fourth time, they arrived, he realized they weren’t “ladies from Mom’s church,” they were Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Nevertheless, Larry enjoyed his time with the Witnesses at tea, and with Maxine, the town, and Jim Bass’s sheep (all of which he named). In 2018, Maxine died just before her 104th birthday, and Larry returned home to Portland.

Larry will be remembered for his sense of humor, for being the best storyteller ever, and for his love of cooking.

(His skill with curing and smoking meat so impressed Tonya’s father, Doc Detlefsen, that Doc gave Larry, and only Larry, the coveted family sausage recipe.)

Larry Freimark is survived by his partner of 26 years, Tonya Detlefsen; his children, Jason Freimark, Tony Freimark, and Stephanie Blacketter; six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren; and his good friends, Thea Coppini, Russell Yates, and Donna Reed. His ashes were scattered at Trillium Lake on Mount Hood, one of his favorite places.

One of Larry’s oft-told stories was about his grandparents. One day, somewhere in Iowa, Larry’s grandfather was sitting on the porch of his farmhouse, when one of his grandchildren ran up.

“Grandpa! Grandpa! Grandma has been hit by lightning!”

Slowly, and clearly annoyed, Grandpa said, “Again?”

Yes, Larry’s grandmother was hit by lightning twice.

But we won’t be. There will always be only one Larry.

Voices from the Past The Vindolanda tablets

By Barry Evans

fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com

O

“

h how much I want you at my birthday party. You’ll make the day so much more fun. I do hope you can make it.”

— Letter from Claudia Severa to her sister Sulicia Lepidina, wife of Flavius Cerialis, prefect of a cohort stationed at Vindolanda fort, circa A.D. 100.

This birthday invitation, written on a thin wooden tablet in what is now Northern England, may be the oldest surviving writing in Latin by a woman. Thanks to being preserved intact beneath thick layers of mud, it is one of hundreds of handwritten documents found at Vindolanda Fort, illuminating life on the frontier of the Roman Empire nearly 2,000 years ago.

Most of these thin, postcard-sized tablets are now in the British Museum in London, where they were voted Britain’s Top Treasure.

The Romans conquered most of Britannia in the years following Emperor Claudius’ invasion of A.D. 43. In the north, where Pict tribes fiercely resisted the incursion, Roman legionnaires built a series of forts, first out of wood and, later, stone. One of the most important of these was Vindolanda, established around A.D. 85, sited midway between present-day Carlisle and Newcastle in Northumbria. About 40 years later, Emperor Hadrian ordered the construction of a 72-mile-long wall across the width of the country as a defense against the Picts and to control trade between local tribes. Hadrian’s Wall, originally 16 feet high (now much reduced after centuries of pillaging for local buildings) runs just north of Vindolanda Fort.

The first of the Vindolanda tablets was unearthed during an archeological dig in 1973. Thought at first to be two wood shavings stuck together, when peeled apart the inside revealed writing that quickly faded in the air. However, infrared

photography made the ancient script visible again. Since then, nearly 1,000 similar tablets have been found and deciphered, with more being found every year.

The messages, written in cursive Latin script on slivers of birch or alder, reflect the writers’ day-to-day concerns: military matters (Can the surveyor Crispus please have a lighter military service?), requests for provisions (My fellow soldiers have no beer … please order some to be sent), commercial demands (Make sure you send me some cash so that I may have ears of grain on the threshing room floor) and personal notes (I have sent you … pairs of socks, two pairs of sandals and two pairs of underpants).

The British Museum has loaned nine of the tablets back to the Vindolanda Museum, where curious visitors like myself can view them in the “vault” and be transported back to when the site bustled with hundreds of garrison troops from all over the empire, along with their commanders (some of whom brought their families), local farmers and shopkeepers. The fort and its adjacent village thrived for hundreds of years, only to be deserted some time after the last of the Roman legions left Britain in A.D. 411.

Starting with amateur archeologists in the 19th century, Vindolanda has come to life again — especially with the discovery of its tablets, each of which gives us a glimpse into life on the frontier of Imperium Romanum, the Roman Empire. The timeless quality of these messages — a mother worrying about her son staying warm, a commander trying to get beer for his men, Claudia’s birthday invite — cuts through the centuries and makes their world ours. l Barry Evans (he/him, barryevans9@ yahoo.com) still wonders why he had to learn Latin at school.
