County of Humboldt, Please End the Madness in Ferndale

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

I

n a few weeks, the fairgrounds in Ferndale will be awash with the smell of fry oil and children’s gleeful screams as the 122nd annual Humboldt County Fair gets underway.

Meanwhile, the Humboldt County Fair Association — the nonprofit that runs the fair — and the county of Humboldt have been meeting behind closed doors to hammer out a lease agreement that will allow the association to operate the fairgrounds and put on the fair for the next five years.

We reached out to both Humboldt County Fair Association General Manager Richard Conway and county counsel about the status of the lease negotiations, and both declined to comment, citing the need to keep negotiations confidential.

Fair enough, but we feel the need to weigh in and urge the county to insist that any final agreement require the association to abide by California’s open meeting and government transparency laws, namely the Ralph M. Brown Act and the California Public Records Act, respectively. Why do we feel the need for such a public statement?

Well, since changing its status in 2014 from an affiliate of a government unit to a nonprofit, the association has been operating under the belief that it no longer has to abide by these laws. It’s a stance that is wrong on many levels and one that has proven costly.

In addition to stewarding the fair, itself a community institution, the association receives state funding and governs 65 acres of county property in the middle of Ferndale. Consequently, it should do its business in the full light of day.

But for those who haven’t been paying attention, that’s not what’s been happening in recent years.

First and foremost, there is its quixotic battle with the Ferndale Enterprise newspaper, which defies any reasonable explanation.

You see, the association’s current lease agreement notes that “all books, records and documents” pertaining to the management of the fairgrounds “shall be preserved by the association and be and remain public records.” That seems pretty straightforward.

But five times dating back to 2015 the association has refused to turn over public records — including meeting minutes, financial records and an audit — requested by the Enterprise. These refusals have

spawned four lawsuits — one resulting in a judge awarding the Enterprise’s attorney $44,000 and two others ending with $31,000 in combined settlement payments.

(A motion for attorney’s fees in the fourth suit remains pending and the Enterprise reports the association has spent more than $17,000 fighting the records requests and associated lawsuits over the last year.)

But there’s more and the issues run deeper than attempts to deny a plucky weekly newspaper access to public records.

Over the past couple of years, Ferndale has seen repeated dust ups over the types of events held at the fairgrounds, with the association facing substantial backlash — and a threatened lawsuit — over its efforts to hold a cannabis festival and flat-track motorcycle races at the county-owned property, and a perceived lack of transparency about the planning of such events.

It’s time for the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors to put a stop to this madness and the fix is simple: If the association wants to keep governing the use of 65 acres of county property and putting on the annual fair, it should be required to follow state open meeting and records laws. Otherwise, the association seems destined to keep pissing away its limited funds — a portion of which come from state taxpayers — and community goodwill in an effort to avoid transparency while simultaneously making decisions behind closed doors that rile its neighbors and leave it vulnerable to lawsuits.

Put simply, the board of supervisors needs to step in and protect the Humboldt County Fair Association Board of Directors from itself. It has sadly shown itself incapable and, if allowed to continue, we fear what that may ultimately mean for the prized institution — the fair itself — that the association has been entrusted to maintain. l Editor’s note: In the interest of full disclosure, it should be noted that Paul Nicholas Boylan, the attorney representing the Enterprise in its lawsuits against the Humboldt County Fair Association, has also represented the Journal.

‘Yearning for the Bubble’ Editor: Your article, “A Deluge of Expletives” (July 19), was more than upsetting — what happened to our beloved Humboldt County?

Have we fallen to the level of our current POTUS from the trickle down effect? How does a democracy survive when disagreements cannot be rationally discussed without fear of reprisal? It must be my naïveté that thought our community was more resistant to current day incivility and I find myself yearning for the bubble I thought was home.

‘Football Needs to Die a Natural Death’ Editor: I played football in eighth, ninth and 10th grades. It hurt. A lot. I suffered at least one concussion, probably several, not to mention the pounding of internal organs and the violent twisting of spine and limbs.

In coverage of HSU football’s demise (NCJ Daily, July 19), I have so far seen no mention of the proven and often severe harm caused by football, particularly cumulative brain injury. I see the local sadness, as if we’re losing an old friend, but sometimes it’s healthy to cut ties with old friends. I am concerned about the current upheaval for athletes who came here expecting to play and about the local loss of racial diversity that this will likely cause.

But there are many other sports in which young people can develop the important skills of teamwork and athleticism. It does not speak well of our nation that we are so enthralled by this brutal spectacle, the modern version of the gladiators. American football needs to die a natural death.

However, Trump did assure us afterward that there was a denuclearization process in place and we should be able to “sleep well tonight.” But over a month has passed and Trump recently referred to this process by saying, “We have no time limit.

Why the ADA Still Needs Protecting

by Charlie Bean

I

views@northcoastjournal.com n 1990, President George H. Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), giving people with disabilities assurance they would no longer be excluded from society based on their disability. The ADA was an “act to establish a clear and comprehensive prohibition of discrimination on the basis of disability.”

The ADA has been in effect now for 28 years — its anniversary is July 26. It has led to many positive changes for members of the disabled community, as well as changes for businesses and government agencies.

Locally, a few government agencies adapted existing structures for disability access and planned for disability access in new construction projects. Some private businesses have readily complied with the ADA and made the necessary access accommodations, some have struggled to meet the ADA requirements and some have had to be forced to comply through lawsuits.

Many of those lawsuits were necessary and just, but some were predatory and caused some ill-will toward the ADA. This led to the introduction of House Resolution

620: ADA Education and Reform Act of 2017 into Congress, allegedly to curb predatory lawsuits based on infractions under the ADA. However, legislation does not always actually do what its proponents say it will do.

Upon examination of the bill’s language, it was clear the changes it proposed would not have stopped predatory lawsuits and, instead, would have made enforcing the ADA more difficult and time consuming. It would have extended the amount of time a business had to comply with the ADA, even though it had already been the law for 27 years. It would also have placed the burden on the individual with a disability in need of accommodation to first send a letter to the property owner citing the exact section of the law he or she believed had been violated, possibly requiring the services of an attorney to even raise the issue of an ADA violation.

H.R. 620 passed the House with a vote of 225-192 on Feb. 15 before heading to the Senate. In the Senate, the charge against H.R. 620 was led by Sen. Tammy Duckworth, a disabled person, by pulling

together 42 other senators to oppose this legislation. With those 43 opposition signatures on a letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, it was clear there were enough votes to defeat a cloture vote. It was highly unlikely H.R. 620 could pass the Senate before the 2018 midterm elections.

This blocked the bill from passing. For now!

Bills like this could be proposed at any time and advocates for reasonable accessibility need to be watchful for future legislation that may take civil rights away from people with disabilities in our community and throughout the nation.

For local small business owners and organizations that are concerned about the

accessibility of their premises, Tri-County Independent Living (TCIL) can help.

Together with the owner or organization, TCIL can assist with identifying accommodation needs and solutions. Lawsuits and DOJ settlements against local governmental entities — which are paid using taxpayers’ money — will decrease as sales and participation increase, if businesses and governments work toward providing accessibility and inclusion of community members and visitors who are disabled.

As a community, we should work toward the common goal of providing accommodations for all citizens to participate in community activities and events, employment or even independent shopping.

In the Wake of Helsinki

North Coast lawmakers introduce long-shot bills to better vet presidential candidates

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

T

he days following President Donald Trump’s widely criticized July 16 joint press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin saw a flurry of sternly worded statements and blustery interviews, but little action. Two North Coast lawmakers, however, seized the opportunity to announce legislation aimed at bringing greater transparency to presidential elections.

Standing behind a podium in Helsinki, Finland, with Putin by his side, Trump stunned much of the country and the world when he refrained from saying anything critical of the Russian dictator and openly cast doubt on whether his country

interfered with the 2016 presidential election. (The White House later attempted to walk back Trump’s remarks, saying he “misspoke,” but that did little to dampen the firestorm the press conference created.)

Standing on the House floor two days after the press conference, North Coast Congressman Jared Huffman, clad in a charcoal suit with a red striped tie, called what he saw in Helsinki a “stunning betrayal” and openly questioned whether Trump is being blackmailed.

“What does Putin have on President Trump?” Huffman asked. “Is he literally being blackmailed? Do we have a Manchurian candidate as our president? It’s

hard to imagine any other explanation for Trump’s constant bowing and scraping at the feet of the Russian dictator or of his refusal to hold Putin accountable for his election interference, even after numerous indictments, including 12 Russian military officials, and even after the arrest of a Russian national who was caught trying to use the NRA as a tool to change U.S. policy toward Russia. …

“Now on Monday, our security interests of this country demanded that our president speak out and seek accountability from the foreign adversary who attacked it. But instead the American people witnessed a Manchurian moment exposing that President Trump is so deeply compromised on Russia that he’s willing to alienate our European allies, to blame our country for the strains in the relationship with Russia and to betray our intelligence and law enforcement communities by casting doubt on their conclusions and accepting Putin’s self-serving denials. And so the world wonders, what does Putin have over Trump?”

Huffman went on to say we should all think about how we “got into this surreal situation in the first place,” saying, “there’s a clear public interest in ensuring that

presidential candidates are not deeply compromised or vulnerable to blackmail, and that’s why today I introduce the Protecting Access to Classified Information in Elections Act.” According to a press release from Huffman’s office, the act would “authorize and encourage” presidential candidates to voluntarily go through a federal background investigation vetting process — akin to a security clearance. If they pass the vetting process, the candidates would then be allowed to make that information public.

The vetting process would include reviews of foreign investments and business ties, bankruptcies, financial problems, legal judgments and “other potential liabilities and vulnerabilities to blackmail.”

While the act wouldn’t mandate candidates go through such a process, the idea is that public pressure would make it difficult for a candidate to decline as voters would see it as a red flag.

Stephanie Burkhalter, an associate professor of politics at Humboldt State University who interned in Congress and worked for the U.S. Department of Justice, says it may be tempting to see Huffman’s rollout of the legislation as little more than “a political jab” at Trump. But, she says, it

can also be seen as “common-sense policy reform that might be necessary to protect U.S. intelligence secrets.”

While Huffman cast the legislation as a tool to help voters vet candidates, Burkhalter says it can also be seen as a national security issue. Because a president-elect only has about 11 weeks from Election Day to his or her inauguration to prepare for the job, sitting presidents have, as a courtesy, historically allowed candidates in the final stages of an election access to some intelligence. But these candidates haven’t been vetted and their staffs have yet to go through the process of getting security clearances. “(Huffman’s legislation) would help codify the process such that the sitting-president does not have discretion to give access to intelligence to politicians who have not been vetted through a security clearance process,” Burkhalter says.

Burkhalter says she is a bit concerned about the potential cost of the bill, noting that security clearance investigations are costly and time-consuming. According to the United States Office of Personnel Management, background investigations for positions that require Top Secret access cost about $5,800. Burkhalter points out

that it’s important to remember that while only a few candidates advance to the general election, it’s not uncommon for party primaries to each start with 10 or more candidates.

Burkhalter agrees with Huffman that, in addition to protecting secret intelligence, the legislation would also give voters another data point to consider when casting their ballots.

“There is no question that this would provide voters with important information about a candidate’s fitness for office vis-àvis foreign investments and dealings,” she said, adding that it’s unlikely a candidate would make it through an “intelligence-level” security clearance screening without releasing his or her tax returns in the process.

But if North Coast state Sen. Mike McGuire has his way, it won’t take a security clearance to get candidates’ tax returns into public view.

On July 18, McGuire announced that after Trump’s “shamefully submissive behavior” in Finland, “with Trump showing more allegiance to Russian than America’s own intelligence agencies,” he is gearing up to reintroduce legislation that would require presidential primary candidates to release five years of tax returns in order to

appear on the California ballot. McGuire, along with state Sen. Scott Wiener, introduced the same legislation last year after Trump bucked decades of precedent and refused to release his tax returns during the campaign, at one point promising he would do so if elected — a promise he has yet to fulfill.

The legislation was passed by the Assembly and the Senate but was vetoed

by Gov. Jerry Brown in October, with the former attorney general questioning the legality of the bill and expressing worries “about the political perils of individual states seeking to regulate presidential elections in this manner.”

“Today we require tax returns but what would be next? Five years of health records? A certified birth certificate?

High school report cards? And will these requirements vary depending on which political party is in power?” Brown wrote in his veto message.

But McGuire is ready to give the legislation another run, apparently hopeful that recent events will have swayed Brown’s view.

“While it’s clear Trump is willing to sell out our country and values, it’s unclear if he’s doing it to satisfy his personal financial interests, since he refused to be transpar-

ent as a candidate,” McGuire said in a press release. “The American people should not be in the dark about our President’s finances and conflicts of interest, and we must ensure they never are again. Requiring presidential candidates to disclose basic financial information is a common sense measure that builds trust between the American people and their elected leader.”

It seems both bills face uphill climbs.

As noted above, McGuire is counting on Brown having a change of heart or being able to convince two-thirds of his colleagues in both the Senate and Assembly to override another veto. (It’s interesting to note, floor votes on McGuire’s bill last year received 70 percent of the vote in both chambers.) Huffman, meanwhile, is introducing his legislation into a Republican-controlled House and it seems unlikely party leadership will let it proceed to a vote in the current political climate. Even if passed, it would require Trump’s signature to become law. l Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor. Reach him at 442-1400, extension 321, or thad@northcoastjournal.com.

County Staff: Eucalyptus Removal a Must for Bay Trail

T

he Humboldt County Public Works Department is set to tell the Board of Supervisors that moving forward with the Humboldt Bay Trail Project is going to necessitate the removal of more than 200 eucalyptus trees along U.S. Highway 101 north of the old California Redwood Company mill.

While conceding that it received a host of comments urging preservation of the 90-year-old trees in the county’s California Environmental Quality Act review of the project, the department warns it will “recommend termination of the project if the northern group of eucalyptus trees cannot be removed.”

In an 11-page CEQA comment evaluation memo, the department makes the case that the trees would pose a danger to users of the yet-to-be constructed 4.2mile segment of multi-use trail connecting Eureka and Arcata, as the trail would fall within 10 to 15 feet of the trees, between the railroad tracks and the highway.

“Trail users would be situated within the failure zone of many elevated limbs measuring 6 to 12 inches in diameter and

weighing hundreds of pounds,” states the memo, citing the county’s Hazard Tree Plan and the Tree Risk Assessment, which apparently sets the national standard for such decisions.

The memo also includes newspaper accounts of several eucalyptus-related horror stories: the tree that fell on a wedding party, killing a 61-year-old grandmother, in Whittier last year; a woman seriously injured by a falling 10-foot branch while walking with her boyfriend in San Diego in 2013; and a 4-year-old girl killed on a playground in Highland Park by a falling tree limb in 1990. At least a couple of the stories include reports of resulting lawsuits.

In all, the department is recommending removal of 219 trees — or 42 percent of the entire row.

The trees were planted in 1921 — four years before the highway was paved — by Henry Devoy, who is famous for donating 120 acres of land in Southern Humboldt that would become Richardson Grove State Park and owned 1,100 acres of ranchland in the Fay Slough area. According to the memo, Devoy planted the trees to serve as a windbreak for his dairy and

Week in Weed

Beware of Snowshoers (and Getting High in the Backcountry)

By Thadeus Greenson

W

ith the national legalization of recreational cannabis looming, one of Canada’s largest search and rescue outfits is warning that weed and the backcountry are a dangerous combination.

“We regularly respond to calls for those who are well prepared, do everything right, are completely sober and still get into trouble,” Curtis Jones wrote on Vancouver’s North Shore Rescue’s blog. “When you’re high in the mountains, and I don’t mean elevation wise, you shift your position on the continuum between ‘Prepared Hiker’ and ‘Candidate for Rescue’ significantly towards the latter position.”

The post details a few occasions when Jones’ outfit was called to save intoxicated and wayward adventurers. Most of the accounts are sobering — like the hiker who munched an edible, then had seizures. Another — detailing the time two snowshoers used pot and ecstasy, then wound up in a knife fight — is just bizarre.

Ecstasy and knives aside, Jones does offer a few pearls that we on the rugged North Coast should keep in mind. Most notably, wilderness areas can be unforgiving so it’s best to keep your wits about you. And if you must take a puff, a dab or a nibble while out in the back country, it’s a good idea not to sample products you haven’t tried before.

At a minimum, having a cannabis-induced panic attack while miles away from the trailhead sounds pretty miserable. Not

as miserable as, say, trying to fight off a knife-wielding snowshoer while tripping on ecstasy, but pretty miserable nonetheless.

Puff if you must but stay safe out there. l There’s a new vice cop in town: the World Series of Poker.

The popular poker event held annually in Las Vegas recently harshed the vibe of Michael Mizrachi, who’d become the first professional poker player to ink a sponsorship deal with a cannabis company. With the logo for Blum, a dispensary chain operating in Nevada and California, joining other sponsors on his black polo shirt and another on his black baseball hat, Mizrachi was doing well, moving on to a televised round of the tournament, when he got pulled aside.

The poker powers that be told Mizrachi that if he wanted to keep playing, he’d have to put black duct tape over the offending logos.

It turns out that while alcohol sponsorships are allowed — and widely deployed — in the series, the event has a prohibition on advertising for porn, tobacco, firearms, cannabis and cryptocurrency.

While I’m not going to cast any shade on an organization declining to advertise the scourge of tobacco, the predatory porn industry or firearms, which kill more than 30,000 people annually in the United States, it seems beyond hypocritical to shun cannabis while giving the nod to big alcohol in an event held in a casino. After all, excessive alcohol use leads to more than 88,000 deaths

in the United States each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control, while there’s never been a documented cannabis overdose death.

And what did cryptocurrency ever do to anyone? l News broke last week that Canadian researchers have created what’s being hailed as the first beer brewed from cannabis. Now, there are already lots of marijuana-infused beers — those generally terrible traditionally brewed concoctions that add a cannabis flavor component like hemp seeds or a shot of THC and CBD oils — but this is different.

Province Brands is now making beer that is brewed with cannabis plants — stalks, stems, flowers and all — instead of barley.

After some initial trials returned a brew that “tasted like rotten broccoli,” according to a Guardian report, the researchers found a recipe that is “dry, savory and less sweet than a typical beer flavor.” The brew has no alcohol but 6.5 milligrams of THC per serving.

(For perspective, California regulations limit edibles to 10 milligrams of THC per serving.)

If that sounds like your bag, cheers. Just don’t drink it for the first time while snowshoeing in the backcountry or try to put it on your World Series of Poker hat. l Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor.

Freed from a seven-month detention, an Arcata mom works to rebuild what was lost

By Kimberly Wear

C

laudia Portillo is back in her Arcata home but it doesn’t feel like the same one she left behind. And what seems like it should be a happy ending is instead just the beginning for the young mother and her four daughters, who are working their way back to a semblance of how things used to be while facing an uncertain future.

Once broken, some things prove hard to put back together.

After being unexpectedly detained for seven months in an immigration facility hundreds of miles away, Portillo says she has struggled to regain her footing in the weeks following her release. Some days she feels like a stranger to her own children. Sometimes she feels like a stranger to herself.

kim@northcoastjournal.com

Portillo says things were different before that day in November when she headed down to the Bay Area for a regular check-in with immigration officials and was taken into custody. She had a tight bond with her girls, a home of her own and a business to run.

“I was living a perfect life,” she says. “My girls were living a perfect life and we were doing so good. I mean, I’m not going to tell you it was perfect-perfect but we really were doing good. And then this happened and I can’t just sit here and blame anyone else but the system.”

During the time Portillo was away, unsure whether she would be deported to a country she has not seen since she was 7, the family’s fabric began to fray. Where parenting once came easily, there is now hesitation. And after essentially being on

their own for all those months, her two teenagers stiffen as she reasserts her role in their lives. They are, Portillo says, getting to know each other again.

“This is not what I left,” she says.

The detention also forced Portillo to lay bare secrets she had been protecting her children from, including her immigration status and traumatic events in her past. But she also makes clear how grateful she is to be home and for the community support that helped bring her back.

“All of this help,” Portillo says, “it’s been amazing. I appreciate everything the community has done for me.” ● During Portillo’s detention, much of the

burden fell on the shoulders of her eldest daughter, Avigail, who was 17 when Portillo was taken into custody. She was left to pay bills, watch over the house and put food on the table for herself and her 14-year-old sister, while Portillo’s two youngest girls stayed with other relatives.

Avigail kept going to school — at least for the most part — trying to outwardly pretend that nothing was wrong. And, for a short time, few beyond her immediate family circle knew what was happening. That’s how Avigail wanted it.

“I don’t like to ask for help,” says the recent Arcata High School graduate who is headed to Chico State University in the fall and hopes to become a social worker. But, she acknowledges, “It was stressful.”

When a local news outlet reported

about her family’s situation, it opened up extra lines of support for the girls — with teachers and others reaching out to help — but it also left Avigail and her younger siblings vulnerable to classmates’ taunts and well-meaning but tone-deaf attempts by some adults to get them to talk about what was happening.

That included a teacher who Avigail says asked her to explain how her mother’s detention worked in front of her classmates. She responded by saying that she didn’t feel like talking about it. “I’m not a show,” Avigail says.

Portillo says her other daughters had similar experiences, including her first grader, who was just 6 at the time and didn’t know what was happening, having been told her mom was away at school.

The sisters also endured hateful comments from kids who said Portillo was going to be deported or that they should be, too. “They had to go through a lot,” Portillo says, wiping away tears.

Avigail says that with her mom gone, the house felt empty. They were struggling and went for long periods just eating tortillas and eggs. At one point, Avigail thought about selling some furniture to help make ends meet. Soon the cable and wi-fi were shut off.

Untethered from their mother’s watchful eyes for the first time, Avigail and her sister also began to stray from the straight-and-narrow path she had set down. While family members did check in on them, the teenagers were largely on their own.

With seemingly little to do but sit around and stare at the walls, Avigail says she and her sister started going out to parties — sometimes with drinking and smoking — and staying out late.

“It was fun to be out with friends at 2:30 in the morning, even if all we were just doing was taking a walk on the beach,” Avigail says.

Before her detention, Portillo says she was always the kind of mom who would check to make sure a parent was going to be at a party before letting one of her daughters attend, even sometimes dropping by to see what was going on for herself.

And although Avigail says she wouldn’t describe her mother as overly strict, she quickly notes, “I wouldn’t want to get my mom mad.”

Avigail admits that it’s hard to have so many rules again, to not be able to go where she wants, when she wants or to have friends come over without asking permission.

“We were best friends before she left,” Avigail says of her mother, “but we’ve all changed.”

Portillo says it’s painful to hear about what her girls were doing while she was in detention. “That’s just not the way I raised my kids,” she says. But, at the same time, she doesn’t feel like she’s in a position to judge them.

“That,” Portillo says, “is just not what they need right now.”

Avigail eventually entered an independent study program, finishing up the last of her classes well before the end of the school year. She initially didn’t want to walk on graduation day but Portillo insisted.

While she couldn’t be there in person to see Avigail receive her diploma, Portillo was able to watch some of the ceremony via video chat from Avigail’s cell phone.

But just when the time came for Avigail to cross the stage beaming in a cap and gown borrowed from the school, the connection was lost.

It was one of many important milestones Portillo missed as a result of her detention. There were all of her daughters’ birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmas and the fifth and eighth grade graduations of her two middle daughters, a long-anticipated day that was supposed to see all of them wearing matching outfits.

“That’s not at all what I had pictured all those years,” Portillo says. “It was devastating not to be there.”

The transition back to family life has been a hard one and Avigail says her mom is not the same person who left in November. She doesn’t stand up for herself the way she once did. She just seems different.

“We feel like her being in the detention center made her soft but it made us harder,” Avigail says.

Her mother agrees: “It changed me.

That place changed me … I do consider myself a strong person but in the detention center I was not strong. I would consider that the lowest of my lows.”

Portillo suffered a mental breakdown during her detention, unable to get out of bed or communicate with anyone for two full weeks. She has sought help and is now working to rebuild her family.

She says she feels guilty that Avigail was thrown into so many adult roles while just 17.

“I’m sure there would have been more help for Avigail if she would have reached out to people,” Portillo says. “There were times that she didn’t have anything to eat.

But she wouldn’t reach out. I know that’s just who she is but it breaks my heart.” l Continued on next page »

There was a time when the 33-year-old Portillo would have been an unlikely target for a detention, let alone a deportation order. Brought to the United States as a young girl, the El Salvador native is the mother of four American-born children and has deep connections in her community, evidenced by the fact that its members turned out in force to lobby for her release and quickly raised the $12,000 bond set by an immigration judge last month.

But things have changed since Donald Trump was elected president and began rolling back many of the protections that President Barack Obama’s administration afforded undocumented immigrants.

Within 100 days of Trump signing an executive order clamping down on undocumented immigrants last year, the number of “enforcement and removal operations” conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement increased by nearly 40 percent, according to the agency. And a San Francisco Chronicle review of ICE stats found detentions of noncriminal immigrants rose by a similar amount be-

tween January and August of 2017, compared to the previous year.

Richard Boswell, a professor at University of California Hastings College of the Law who specializes in immigration law, says there’s been a noticeable shift in how immigration proceedings are handled under the Trump administration.

In the past, high-profile cases involving individuals accused of criminal conduct or posing some other public safety concern would be prioritized for detainment and deportation proceedings.

says doesn’t make any sense but comes at a great personal cost to the families involved. Many of the individuals who are now ending up in the immigration court system would likely be able to obtain some sort of status at some point, he says.

“It’s almost like they are trying to criminalize everybody and the ultimate goal is to scare as many people as possible so that some people say, ‘I don’t want to be here’ or ‘I can’t afford all this stuff, I’m going home,’” Boswell says. “That’s the purpose. That’s the underlying purpose.”

The result, he says, is an overwhelmed system that is unable to process the onslaught of cases. And even more are slated to come online after Trump announced recently that he is ending the temporary protective status for hundreds of thousands of immigrants from half a dozen countries — including El Salvador.

In Portillo’s case, she was detained in November of 2017, about nine months after Trump signed his executive order, despite having made regular check-ins with ICE for the last six years after she received a citation for driving on a suspended license, an offense that was itself

And when Avigail turns 21, as a U.S. citizen, she can petition to have her mother become a permanent resident — something Melania Trump is widely speculated to have done for her parents.

Both options present potential paths to citizenship, although neither is guaranteed, Boswell notes. l Portillo — one of an estimated 1.17 million immigrants from El Salvador who fled poverty and dangerous conditions to come to the United States — has only vague memories of her childhood there.

She says she suffered abuse and moved frequently after her mother left for the United States when Portillo was just 9 months old.

Portillo arrived in the United States at the age of 7 after human smugglers – often called “coyotes” — were paid some $30,000 to ferry her, her sister and a nephew into the country to be reunited with family.

But life here came with its own adversity. Portillo says she was violently assaulted by a friend’s brother and his friends when she was 11 — another chapter of her life that she had tried to shield from her daughters. As the victim of a violent crime, Portillo could apply for what’s known as a U Visa. To do so, she had to obtain the police report from all those years ago. It was sent to Portillo’s house, where Avigail, who took on the duty of tracking down documents her mother needed for her immigration proceedings, retrieved it.

“Now, they know everything,” Portillo says.

Asked about the difficulty of that moment, when she learned of her mother’s assault, Avigail replies simply, “My mother didn’t raise me to be weak.”

Portillo describes having Avigail when she was 14 as life-changing. It helped her see that her life had value and gave her a strength she didn’t realize she had.

“The moment I saw her, I fell in love,” she says.

While Portillo had protective status for a time, she eventually found herself having to make a choice between paying hundreds of dollars in fees to re-register each year and maintain a work permit or paying her rent and feeding her children.

Boswell says that one of the questions he often hears is why people like Portillo don’t simply clear up their status. He says people just don’t understand the complexity of the legal process involved.

There are many places people can make a mistake and set their case back, he says, especially if they don’t have an experienced attorney. But legal services are expensive and come on top of an application process that costs thousands of dollars on its own.

For some, the process simply becomes too overwhelming and cost prohibitive.

Boswell asks people to imagine what would happen if everyone in the United States was required to pay a $500 fee to file their mandatory tax returns, regardless of whether they could afford it or if they were expecting a refund.

“A lot of people would not be filing” because they simply would not be able to pay the fee, Boswell says. Then, he says, imagine that you get in trouble for not filing and you end up with “something right out of Kafka.”

Looking back, Portillo says she would have tried to do things differently regarding her status, but she was too naïve and scared. And, Portillo insists on

addressing a question some have raised about why she didn’t simply marry her longtime partner to resolve her immigration issues. (They are no longer together, Portillo notes.)

“That’s just wrong to marry someone for a paper,” she says adamantly. “That is not what I want to do.” l

Portilllo and her daughters are not public people by nature and it’s been difficult adjusting to life in a small community that is now intensely interested — and, in some cases, invested — in their situation.

While emphasizing how much she appreciates all the support and the incredible way people donated to help raise her $12,000 bond, Portillo says there is also a flip side.

Sometimes her younger girls become confused by all the attention Portillo receives, noting that people will approach her crying even though they don’t personally know her. And Avigail has bristled at what seems to her like a sense of entitlement about her family’s situation, with people interjecting themselves — and their opinions — into their personal lives, often leaving them feeling exposed and a bit judged.

Portillo says she doesn’t mind and hopes that being honest about her story will help other local immigrants and give the larger community a better understanding of the obstacles people in her situations face.

For now, they are trying to pick up the pieces of their lives and move forward but the trauma her family has suffered is severe, Portillo says. She feels like all the dreams she had to build a brighter future for her girls have been shattered, waded up like trash by the government and thrown away. Avigail’s college fund and the nest egg Portillo painstakenly saved over the years through hardwork cleaning houses are gone, wiped clean to pay her legal expenses and the bills that came due during her detention. Now, she says, they are left to take things one day at a time.

“It’s just tough,” Portillo says. “I don’t know how it’s all going to work out but only pray that it’s going to be OK.” l Kimberly Wear is the assistant editor at the Journal. Reach her at 442-1400, extension 323, or kim@ northcoastjournal.com. Follow her on Twitter @kimberly_wear.

In Review

Word Girl

Carlene Meredith Cogliati’s To Durchhalten

By JoAnn Bauer

reviews@northcoastjournal.com

A

my Dixon, the protagonist of Carlene Meredith Cogliati’s To Durchhalten, loves words — their shape on a page and their sound, which she can almost taste on her tongue. She collects words not only for their intrinsic value and usefulness in expressing her feelings, but also to bolster her Spelling Bee prowess.

So on the first day of sixth grade, when her teacher assigns a daily journal, Amy cannot be happier. She has no way of knowing that the entries will encompass so many changes — her old nemesis will turn into a friend, her current frenemy may not be as awful as he seems and her stable family life will be turned upside down.

The author shares a year in the life of a young girl through this journal, allowing the reader to understand not only the situations that Amy encounters, but all of her changing reactions to these events.

The voice is authentic for a preteen who faces challenges to many of her deeply held beliefs. Through this story, Amy is forced to examine much that she has previously taken for granted.

The setting is a small, close-knit community that seems a lot like Maple Creek, where the author lives. Amy has attended a country school since kindergarten and

knows all the other students and their parents quite well. In fact, Amy calls her best friend Heather Abercrombie’s parents Mommy A and Daddy A. This surrogate family, along with Aunt Joan and Uncle Jon, come to mean even more to Amy when she learns of her mother’s illness.

For all the difficult issues that Amy faces in her sixth grade year, this book is also joyous and celebrates everyday pleasures, as well as bigger moments that mark the passage of the seasons. Amy is very human and doesn’t always make the best choices, but in the end, she finds the courage to durchhalten, a Dutch word that means “to hold yourself to the course” no matter what life throws at you.

This book is written for middle school children but it has a lot to offer for older readers as well. Adults who may have forgotten how intense feelings are at this age will get a poignant reminder. I found it an inspiring reading experience and an occasion for some nostalgia. ● JoAnn Bauer was the children’s librarian at the Humboldt County Library for many years.

Table Talk THE

A plate of ribs, pulled pork, brisket and Wonder Bread, naturally. Photo by Amy Waldrip

No Sauce Required

Caroline’s TX BBQ brings the brisket

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

I

n 1989, a young John Chaffin, fresh out of the Marine Corps, had a life-changing beef roast made by his father — nothing fancy, just cooked low and slow. He’s been chasing that deep, meaty flavor in the kitchen, the grill and the smoker ever since. If you’ve ever snagged the coveted job of carving the meat for a family dinner and indulged in the furtive pinches of scraps that are its perks, you know what he’s looking for. “I always loved those bits,” he says, “those little scrumptious bits left on the cutting board.”

You might have seen Chaffin and his wife Caroline Chaffin Brooks at their Caroline’s TX BBQ [(707) 672-6138] stand at Eureka’s July Fourth street fair. If you were wise, you ordered up a half-and-half pulled brisket and pulled pork sandwich, or maybe some ribs with a side of slaw.

For now, catering gigs and events like the Friday Night Market in front of Eureka’s Clarke Museum are your only chance to taste what they’re cooking up.

Chaffin, who grew up in Blue Lake and now lives in Eureka, first met Chaffin Brooks when she was a customer of his at Johnson Auto Electric. She’d moved from Texas to attend Humboldt State University and was working at Blue Lake Casino. He says he’d never have asked her out at the shop, since “business is business,” but eventually he drove up to the casino hoping to run into her and invited her out to breakfast. Now the two handle the business together along

with their barbecue venture.

The prep for Caroline’s TX BBQ all happens at a commercial kitchen but now and then, including the October customer appreciation party, the auto shop’s side lot hosts a barbecue with the 400-pound mobile smoker turning out a feast. They even welded up a DIY metal rack for smoking 26 slabs of ribs at a time.

Today they’ve got a squat stainless steel smoker going amid a handful of cars. The baby back ribs, which Chaffin says are trickier to time than their longer St. Louis counterparts, release from bone with a tug of the teeth and taste of sweet Sunday pork roast with a light smokiness. The brisket wiggles and threatens to collapse as it’s transferred to the cutting board. Chaffin leans his cane against a folding table and slices the first third, revealing a rind of translucent fat and dark meat as an errant stream of juice flows to the edge of the board. Even the very tip of the brisket is fall-apart tender and recalls the concentrated flavor of pan drippings.

“What I find special about barbecue is the collagen,” says Chaffin. “It’s what gets people licking their fingers. It’s just gold.” It’s also a point of pride for him that you don’t “need to wash it down with a beer.”

“I grew up every Sunday doing barbecue and tending to the grill,” says Chaffin Brooks, who hails from San Antonio, Texas, and a tradition of African-American family barbecuing. In her neck of the woods, that means Mesquite chips, a simple salt-and-pepper

rub, no sauce to get in the way of the pure meat flavor and a side of Wonder Bread.

It’s hard to argue with that. Still, she and Chaffin offer sandwich rolls and their own tangy sauce to satisfy Humboldt tastes. Do yourself a favor and try it without first.

“John has created the perfect rub and the timing for everything. We work together in that way.” He works the grill, she says with a sly lilt, “but I like to butt in and make his life miserable.” She typically handles the customers and the register, too.

The exact recipe for the three-ingredient barbecue rub, however, is a secret even from her. “He does it by look and feel,” she says. But sometimes Chaffin needs more help than others.

When he was serving in the Marines, Chaffin trained at Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, North Carolina. In 2014 he was diagnosed with Waldenstrom’s disease, a rare form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma linked to water contamination at the base. The cancer causes heavy fatigue and his hands sometimes seize up. In the years since, he’s given up his Harley-Davidson and backed off from the shop. “I’ve been forced into disability and so I’ve taught Caroline how to make it work, so she’s an equal partner and she makes things happen.”

“I’m a family guy,” says Chaffin, who married young the first time around and had two daughters, Kelly and Candace, soon after. He only regrets he “worked that relationship away” and acknowledges that he’s had to “go back and rebuild” with his kids. These days Chaffin and Chaffin Brooks have plenty of family time, raising Chaffin’s brother’s kids, now 14 and 11.

They’ve also got three grandkids in town and Caroline’s mother Kim Trevillion living right across the street.

At the end of the month, the couple heads to Texas for a big family homecoming — and hopefully to get some recipes and pick up some skills (possibly sausage making) from Chaffin Brooks’ great uncle, who ran a successful barbecue joint there for decades.

Chaffin is hoping to win him and the rest of the family over with his own brisket, too.

Whether all these accumulated skills and recipes will eventually lead to a food truck or a brick-and-mortar restaurant is still up in the air. In the meantime, you’ll see them at occasional events, piling up plates from trays of shredded meat. “It’s a family event.

We have my mom, my nephew, my niece, whoever else we can pull. We can’t do it without everyone,” says Chaffin Brooks. “If you don’t have family, what do you have?” l Jennifer Fumiko Cahill is the arts and features editor at the Journal.

K, here we go. This Setlist week sees the transfer of days from one Roman emperor’s month to another’s. From the hot and chaotic days of Julius Caesar’s July to the more august days of — well — August, the month of a much longer-lived Caesar. History, namesakes, birthdays, gemstones and zodiacal creatures aside, there is also a palpable shift coming in the next few weeks. Supple leaves and plants will crisp, students will trickle back and I will slowly switch my listening habits from brand new summer jams to mid-career Echo and the Bunnymen, a palate cleansing ritual stretching back to my youth. And this week has a lot of good shows to help you downshift into the peak of summer. Let’s explore, shall we?

Thursday Eureka’s free summer concert series continues at 6 p.m. on Madaket Plaza on the foot of C Street. This evening’s artist will be Chico’s wandering pop-history band of brothers and a sister, Decades.

Expect a lively walk down the last 70-plus years of popular music delivered via top notch players.

Friday Humboldt’s best kaleidoscopic jam group Absynth Quartet is playing a free one tonight at the Logger Bar at 9 p.m.

Expect a fun and sweaty shindig on the raddest dancefloor east of the pump station.

Oakland’s post-punk goth lurkers The Ink Bats come to the Alibi tonight at 11 p.m. for a dark and weird set. Joining these bats will be local low-plains drifters Opossum Sun Trail ($5).

Saturday The Sanctuary’s artist in residence is Oakland’s Eva Restad, the central performer and creative force behind The Church of Color and Light. Tonight at 8 p.m. at the Sanc’, Church of C and L presents a performance of the ritual piece “IRRA” ($5-$20 sliding scale). Accompanying music will be provided by local sound-scaper Oryan Peterson-Jones, aka Die Geister Beschwören.

The ’70s certainly had a lot of sunbleached hits, though perhaps none of them made as much of a dent in my

personal archeological musical palimpsest as the tune “Summer Breeze” by Seals and Croft. It’s just a perfect song that captures a feeling that doesn’t really exist on paper. So suffice it to say I am giddy that the curators behind Soul Party — DJ Red, The Ink Bats play the Alibi at 11 p.m. on Friday, July 27.

Punkish Los Angeles band Hip Priest finds itself on the base of the Hollywood Hills of Arcata tonight, specifically Blondies at the foot of California Avenue, specifically at the hour of 8 p.m. Joining these transplants will be local punk rock burners Dead Drift and pop-garage trio The Tweeners (price TBA).

Tuesday Wandering away from music for a moment, I’d like to tongue-in-cheek suggest for your Tuesday evening what I can only say will certainly be a unique experience for anyone who, in the words of Hunter S. Thompson, “buys the ticket and takes the ride.” Humboldt Republican Women presents an advance screening of the film Death of a Nation by Trump-pardoned felon and professional disingenuous shithead Dinesh D’Souza at the Broadway Theater at 7 p.m. With a title evoking D.W. Griffith’s racist masterpiece The Birth of a Nation, D’Souza’s film takes you on a hallucinatory journey imagining that the party of Lincoln has anything in common

Wednesday I must say that as a compiler of shows and humble scribe of bands, I really give my honest admiration to bands that lay out the unpretentious, unvarnished truth on their online bios. Bless them, every one. The Miracle Show is one such group, its Facebook page bearing the succinct and perfect line “5 dudes who play Grateful Dead music.” Gorgeous. Anyway, these five dudes will be joined by twe more — local jammer Piet Dalmolen and Morgan Corviday — to celebrate Jerr Bear’s 76th birthday at Humbrews at 9 p.m. ($10). So if this is your thing, don’t miss it, sugaree. ● Full show listings in the Journal’s Music and More grid, the Calendar and online.

Bands and promoters, send your gig info, preferably with a high-res photo or two, to music@northcoastjournal.com.

Collin Yeo is one guy who dances to a wide variety of ’80s music in his house, alone. He tries not to be a disingenuous shithead. He lives in Arcata.

Looking for fun for the whole family this weekend? Clear your Saturday because the whole dang city of Eureka’s got you covered and there’s a rocking all-day music/food fundraiser going down in Blue Lake’s Perigot Park.

Saturday, July 28 is Get Out and Play Day and Eureka Community Services has lined up free events all over town for kids to exercise, play and explore.

Events take place at Cooper Gulch, Old Town, Sequoia Park and Sequoia Park Zoo, Eureka Municipal Golf Course, the Waterfront Trail and Humboldt Bay Aquatic Center. You can find the full schedule of events at www.eurekaparksandrec.wordpress.com/gopd or on Facebook. With so much going on, and we mean that, there’s not enough room to list it all here. Highlights include activities inside the Clarke Museum from noon to 4 p.m., plus the Clarke Museum’s Street Fair out front with live music, food/drinks, free ice cream, arts and crafts and more.

And over at Sequoia Park, don’t miss out on the free Community BBQ, Concert and Movie from 4:30 to 9 p.m. Enjoy food, music by Blue Rhythm Revue, beer garden (over 21) and a screening of Ferdinand at 8:30 p.m.

Also on Saturday, there’s a special fundraising event that outgrew its original digs in a private home when it started up several years back and now takes over Perigot Park with an impressive lineup of local bands, vendors, raffles and barbecue. Lawnstock 2018, a benefit this year for Marcelo Baker, a 7-year-old Rio Dell boy who was severely injured in a collision in 2014, gets underway from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. ($15, free for kids 12 and under). Dance/listen to music by The Irie Rockers, Claire Bent & Citizen Funk, Timbata, Belles of the Levee, The Paula Jones Band, Secret Club, That Buckin’ String Band and Ghost Train, and have a great time knowing you’re helping out an awesome kid.

Hot damn, Fortuna. We’ve barely cooled our bootheels from last week’s rodeo action and, for the second weekend in a row, you’ve got serious horsepower coming to town. Trade churros and chaps for Chevys and capris and meet up on Main Street for a weekend of nostalgia at the Fortuna Redwood AutoXpo, July 27-29 (free admission to all events except the dance). Lovingly restored cars, a sock hop, tractor pull, artisans fair and engines purring up and down the strip are just part of the weekend’s full tank of fun.

Start your engines Friday at 6 p.m. for the participant-only cruise down Main Street. At 5 p.m. you can swing by the Artisans Faire at Rohner Park.

(It’ll be up and running through Sunday.) Then take the party over to the River Lodge at 8 p.m. for dancing and rock ’n’ roll from Merv George Band at the Friday Night Dance ($5).

Saturday, check out the bold and the beautiful at the Judged Car Show from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Rohner Park. Go back to your glory days at Fortuna High for the Show & Shine/Vintage & Exotic show also from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the school’s parking lot. Trophies for both shows will be awarded Sunday at 10 a.m. at Rohner Park.

Reviews

SORRY TO BOTHER YOU. I woke up thinking about this movie, which proves hard to forget. It leaves tracers behind the eyes, like staring at a too-bright neon light in a too-dark, too-late barroom, vestiges of its vibrant, driving, pointed, flawed, ugly, beautiful, street-style visual poetry.

It’s appropriate for the directorial debut of Boots Riley, activist offspring of activists, founder and vocalist of hip hop’s legendary The Coup. Riley, who also wrote the screenplay, has been making radical funk rap music for the masses for 25 years now, channeling the frustration of the disenfranchised into a catalog of deceptively head-noddable tracks pulsating with anger, uplift and slapping bass loops. So while it may surprise some that he’s had a movie percolating for some/much of that time, anybody passingly familiar with his work should expect said movie would be imbued with a similar energy, passion and aesthetic. (Also Sorry to Bother You is largely a product of Riley’s participation in the Sundance Institute’s vaunted screenwriters’ and directors’ labs, which launched the careers of Paul Thomas Anderson and Quentin Tarantino, among others. Riley was accepted after multiple rejections of earlier drafts of this same script. So, you know, don’t give up.)

In a parallel present-day Oakland, Cassius “Cash” Green (Lakeith Stanfield) needs a job. He’s four months behind on the rent for the garage he rents from his uncle Sergio (Terry Crews), himself at risk of defaulting on his mortgage. Cash gets a job at a telemarketing company and, after some initial difficulty and sage advice from call-center OG Langston (Danny Glover), literally finds his voice and rises meteorically through the ranks. He brings his artist/activist girlfriend Detroit (Tessa Thompson) on board, and listens uncomfortably to the entreaties of labor organizer Squeeze (Steven Yeun). Torn between loyalty to friends and the dangling financial carrot of becoming a Power Caller, Cash is soon drawn into a nightmare of hideous corporate malfeasance and co-opted personhood.

With its hyper-saturated color palette and precious language, Sorry to Bother You channels the student-film feel of the

’90s, when some would-be auteurs turned out not to be. But in its flaws we also find some brilliance. Maybe scenes don’t transition as smoothly as we expect, maybe the climax feels rushed, maybe some characters come to life more because of the performance than writing. But surging up through the vintage semi-DIY feel of the thing is the energy of a street demonstration, the passionate chaos contained that we associate with the American youth movement of the 1960s, but also with the concurrent European cinematic revolution.

Sorry to Bother You is far from perfect, technically speaking, but it may be the perfect expression of its themes, of the unification of style and intent; an indelible, electric work of art unmistakable for any other. R. 105M. BROADWAY, MINOR. — John J. Bennett MAMMA MIA! HERE WE GO AGAIN. Obviously, this is not a movie for people who don’t like ABBA, musicals or movies that don’t make you think.

But it is a movie for people who need to be someplace air-conditioned and uncomplicated for close to two hours that go by mercifully fast. You don’t need to have seen the original Mamma Mia to appreciate the sequel, which is split between flashbacks of Donna (Lily James) canoodling her way through Europe circa 1979 and the present-day efforts of her daughter Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) to fulfill her mother’s dream of opening an upscale hotel on a Greek island. This movie is a lot. It crams in 16 performances of ABBA songs, three Academy Award winners (Meryl Streep, Colin Firth, Cher), a love pyramid, an interrupted wedding, the reuniting of octogenarian soulmates, two unplanned pregnancies, lip service to the Greek economic recession and the baffling choice to let Pierce Brosnan pretend he can sing again. (Brosnan won a Razzie for his role in the original 2008 film.)

I know what you’re thinking: “That all sounds great.” But, of course, there are some genuine issues. The Greek townspeople get some nods at being fully-realized characters, but they’re mostly foils for the invading American/British/Swedish tourists. (Maria Vacratis, playing the owner of the local taverna, gets the only chortleout-loud line of the movie.) Cher’s face,

Sorry to Bother You

sadly, no longer has the ability to emote anything. And what is up with the timeline? And did they have to start a damned trip in Paris just to jam “Waterloo” into the score? Let’s not overthink it. This is a fun, fast movie full of catchy tunes, great choreography and stunning, candy-colored sets. Between all that are some heartfelt, relatable musings by 20-something women about whether or not they can trust their hearts. The cynics among us might look at their ruffled denim bell bottoms and say, “No,” but we dreamers who remember youthful adventures on foreign beaches, are more likely to say, “Take a chance.”

THE FIRST PURGE. Horror franchise prequel in case you need to be reminded what happens when we elect leadership to “shake things up.” R. 112M. BROADWAY. HEARTS BEAT LOUD. How about some Nick Offerman being an adorable widower and trying to start a band with his fictional (and also adorable) daughter, played by Kiersey Clemons, before she leaves for college? PG-13. 97M. MINIPLEX. HOTEL TRANSLYVANIA 3: SUMMER VACATION. Dracula and his posse try to unwind with a cruise. What’s the worst that could happen? PG. 97M. BROADWAY.

PG13. 114M. BROADWAY. MILL CREEK.

FORTUNA. MILL CREEK.

DON’T WORRY, HE WON’T GET FAR ON FOOT. Joaquin Pheonix and Jonah Hill star in a Gus Van Sant drama about a disabled recovering alcoholic who finds himself in drawing cartoons. R. 115M. MINOR. MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - FALLOUT. Tom Cruise gets the band back together for more stunts and (fingers crossed) rubber masks. PG13. 147M. BROADWAY, FORTUNA, MILL CREEK.

TEEN TITANS GO! TO THE MOVIES. DC’s animated superhero B-team battles a villain for their own Hollywood feature. PG. 93M. BROADWAY, FORTUNA, MILL CREEK.

STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN (1982). Khaaaaaaaannn! PG. 113M. BROADWAY.

EQUALIZER 2. Denzel Washington kicks some ass in what appears to be a #MeToo inspired subplot spoiled by the trailer.

We’ll take it. R. 121M. BROADWAY. FORTUNA.

MILL CREEK.

THE INCREDIBLES 2. This fun, clever and funny sequel is worth the wait, with the returning cast and the right villains for our times. Craig T. Nelson and Holly Hunter. PG. 118M. BROADWAY, MILL CREEK. JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM. Nodding to its predecessors and balancing humor, horror and heart, this dino sequel is more than a big, dumb blockbuster. PG-13. 128M. BROADWAY. LEAVE NO TRACE. Debra Granik, writer and director of Winter’s Bone, delivers another quality indie, this one about a father and his daughter whose life living rough in the Pacific Northwest is interrupted by the mixed blessing of social services. PG. 119M. MINOR.

MOUNTAIN. Dizzying shots of some of the world’s highest peaks and the people who climb them, narrated by Willem Dafoe and scored by the Australian Chamber Orchestra. By Sherpa director Jennifer Peedom. PG. 74M. MINIPLEX. SKYSCRAPER. Die Hard déjà vu with Dwayne Johnson as a disabled vet scaling a burning building amid exciting visual effects but nothing new for the action genre. PG13. 102M. BROADWAY, MILL CREEK. YELLOW SUBMARINE: 50TH ANNIVERSARY RESTORATION. Beatles completists will want to check out this remastered version of the 1968 feature-length cartoon with music by the Fab Four. G. 90M. MINOR. ● — Jennifer Fumiko Cahill and Linda Stansberry

Legal Notices NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF CLYDEAN MARIE TAYLOR aka CLYDEAN M. TAYLOR aka CLYDEAN TAYLOR CASE NO. PR180161 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of CLYDEAN MARIE TAYLOR aka CLYDEAN M. TAYLOR aka CLYDEAN TAYLOR A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Petitioner Tammi Rae Taylor In the Superior Court of California, County of Humboldt. The petition for probate requests that Tammi Rae Taylor be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. THE PETI− TION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by court.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on August 2, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. at the Superior Court of California, County of Humboldt, 825 Fifth Street, Eureka, in Dept.: 6.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objec− tions or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the dece− dent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the Cali− fornia Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in Cali− fornia law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person inter− ested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE−154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

The Roots of Homeopathy

By Barry Evans

fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com

S

ometimes topics for this column fall, unbidden, into my lap. Such was the case during our recent trip to Romania, where we’d booked a room in the heart of old Sibiu on Strada Samuel Brukenthal. The name rang a bell for me, not because of Brukenthal’s 13-year stint as governor of Transylvania — thanks to his being a favorite of Empress Maria Theresa — but because he was a patron and mentor of the doctor who went on to found the alternative medicine system of homeopathy.

Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) was desperately poor, trying to finish his medical studies in Saxony (in modern day Germany), when Brukenthal took him under his wing. Soon after, having passed his exams, Hahnemann moved to Sibiu where he spent nearly two years both as Brukenthal’s personal doctor and as cataloger of the governor’s vast — 280,000 volume! — library of medieval books. In this latter role, he was exposed to the alchemical lore of such medieval physicians as Paracelus and, notably, Jean Pharamond Rhumelius (16001660). Rhumelius was probably the first to propose the homeopathic principle of similia similibus curentur: like cures like.

Hahnemann formalized this aphorism as “that which can produce a set of symptoms in a healthy individual, can treat a sick individual who is manifesting a similar set of symptoms.” Experimenting on himself with the Peruvian tree bark cinchona, he noted that cinchona both causes malarial-like symptoms and cures malaria, thus, he thought, proving his hypothesis. (He apparently missed the more mundane explanation, that cinchona contains quinine.)

And so was born the quack science of homeopathy, the general idea being to

JENNIFER DARLING

administer a super-dilute, very specific, “homeopathic” remedy for an illness. Yet Hahnemann was far from a quack doctor.

Rather, he was one of the brightest and most conscientious medical researchers in late 18th century Europe. Master of many languages (he regularly supported himself as a translator) and a prolific writer, he was appalled at what passed for medical science. “After I had discovered the weakness and errors of my teachers and books,” he wrote, “I sank into a state of sorrowful indignation, which had nearly altogether disgusted me with the study of medicine.”

At its heart, homeopathy, along with other “energy field” practices such as Reiki, chakra healing and therapeutic touch, represents the last stronghold of the ancient theory of vitalism. This is the belief that living organisms contain some non-material energy, often referred to as élan vital (or, perhaps, soul), absent in inanimate entities. So the fact that a homeopathic solution is diluted to the point where no molecules of the original substance remain is of no concern. In fact, for Hahenmann and his modern followers, that’s the whole point: The dilution removes the harmful effects of a substance while, in his words, “arousing the spirit-like medicinal powers of the crude substances.”

Two hundred years on vitalism is all but dead, materialism (“We’re just rearranged food!”) reigns and homeopathy, according to mainstream medicine, is, at best, a placebo. And Hahnemann? Insofar as he was dissatisfied with the medical science of his time and tried to fix it, he was a hero.

Wrong, yes, but still a hero. ● Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo.com) muses that if homeopathy worked, Big Pharma would fight it.

Free Will Astrology Week of July 26, 2018

By Rob Brezsny

Homework: Do you have a liability that could be turned into an asset with a little (or a lot of) work? Testify at Freewillastrology.com.

freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): Be extra polite and deferential. Cultivate an exaggerated respect for the status quo. Spend an inordinate amount of time watching dumb TV shows while eating junk food. Make sure you’re exposed to as little natural light and fresh air as possible. JUST KIDDING! I lied! Ignore everything I just said! Here’s my real advice: Dare yourself to feel strong positive emotions. Tell secrets to animals and trees. Swim and dance and meditate naked. Remember in detail the three best experiences you’ve ever had. Experiment with the way you kiss. Create a blessing that surprises you and everyone else. Sing new love songs. Change something about yourself you don’t like. Ask yourself unexpected questions, then answer them with unruly truths that have medicinal effects.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your past is not quite what it seems. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to find out why — and make the necessary adjustments. A good way to begin would be to burrow back into your old stories and unearth the half-truths buried there. It’s possible that your younger self wasn’t sufficiently wise to understand what was really happening all those months and years ago, and as a result distorted the meaning of the events. I suspect, too, that some of your memories aren’t actually your own, but rather other people’s versions of your history. You may not have time to write a new memoir right now, but it might be healing to spend a couple of hours drawing up a revised outline of your important turning points.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): One of the most famously obtuse book-length poems in the English language is Robert Browning’s Sordello, published in 1840. After studying it at length, Alfred Tennyson, who was Great Britain’s Poet Laureate from 1850 to 1892, confessed, “There were only two lines in it that I understood.”

Personally, I did better than Tennyson, managing to decipher 18 lines. But I bet that if you read this dense, multi-layered text in the coming weeks, you would do better than me and Tennyson. That’s because you’ll be at the height of your cognitive acumen. Please note: I suggest you use your extra intelligence for more practical purposes than decoding obtuse texts.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Ready for your financial therapy session? For your first assignment, make a list of the valuable qualities you have to offer the world, and write a short essay about why the world should abundantly reward you for them. Assignment #2: Visualize what it feels like when your valuable qualities are appreciated by people who matter to you. #3: Say this: “I am a rich resource that ethical, reliable allies want to enjoy.” #4: Say this: “My scruples can’t be bought for any amount of money. I may rent my soul, but I’ll never sell it outright.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): As you wobble and stumble into the New World, you shouldn’t pretend you understand more than you actually do. In fact, I advise you to play up your innocence and freshness. Gleefully acknowledge you’ve got a lot to learn. Enjoy the liberating sensation of having nothing to prove.

That’s not just the most humble way to proceed; it’ll be your smartest and most effective strategy. Even people who have been a bit skeptical of you before will be softened by your vulnerability. Opportunities will arise because of your willingness to be empty and open and raw.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Since 1358, the city of Paris has used the Latin motto Fluctuat nec mergitur, which can be translated as “She is tossed by the waves but does not sink.” I propose that we install those stirring words as your rallying cry for the next few weeks.

My analysis of the astrological omens gives me confidence that even though you may encounter unruly weather, you will sail on unscathed. What might be the metaphorical equivalent of taking seasick pills?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The Spanish word delicadeza can have several meanings in English, including “delicacy” and “finesse.” The Portuguese word delicadeza has those meanings, as well as others, including “tenderness,” “fineness,” “suavity,” “respect,” and “urbanity.” In accordance with current astrological omens, I’m making it your word of power for the next three weeks.

You’re in a phase when you will thrive by expressing an abundance of these qualities. It might be fun to temporarily give yourself the nickname Delicadeza.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Uninformed scientists scorn my oracles. Reductionist journalists say I’m just another delusional fortuneteller. Materialist cynics accuse me of pandering to people’s superstition. But I reject those naive perspectives. I define myself as a psychologically astute poet who works playfully to liberate my readers’ imaginations with inventive language, frisky stories, and unpredictable ideas. Take a cue from me, Scorpio, especially in the next four weeks. Don’t allow others to circumscribe what you do or who you are. Claim the power to characterize yourself. Refuse to be squeezed into any categories, niches, or images — except those that squeeze you the way you like to be squeezed.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “I have no notion of loving people by halves; it is not my nature. My attachments are always excessively strong.” So said Sagittarian novelist Jane Austen. I don’t have any judgment about whether her attitude was right or wrong, wise or ill-advised. How about you? Whatever your philosophical position might be, I suggest that for the next four weeks you activate your inner Jane Austen and let that part of you shine — not just in relation to whom and what you love but also with everything that rouses your passionate interest.

According to my reading of the astrological omens, you’re due for some big, beautiful, radiant zeal.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “There are truths I haven’t even told God,” confessed Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector. “And not even myself. I am a secret under the lock of seven keys.” Are you harboring any riddles or codes or revelations that fit that description, Capricorn? Are there any sparks or seeds or gems that are so deeply concealed they’re almost lost? If so, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to bring them up out of their dark hiding places.

If you’re not quite ready to show them to God, you should at least unveil them to yourself. Their emergence could spawn a near-miracle or two.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): What are your goals for your top two alliances or friendships? By that I mean, what would you like to accomplish together? How do you want to influence and inspire each other? What effects do you want your relationships to have on the world? Now maybe you’ve never even considered the possibility of thinking this way. Maybe you simply want to enjoy your bonds and see how they evolve rather than harnessing them for greater goals. That’s fine.

No pressure. But if you are interested in shaping your connections with a more focused sense of purpose, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to do so.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In Janet Fitch’s novel White Oleander, a character makes a list of “twenty-seven names for tears,” including “Heartdew.

Griefhoney. Sadwater. Die tränen. Eau de douleur. Los rios del corazón.” (The last three can be translated as, “The Tears,” “Water of Pain,” and “The Rivers of the Heart.”) I invite you to emulate this playfully extravagant approach to the art of crying. The coming weeks will be en excellent time to celebrate and honor your sadness, as well as all the other rich emotions that provoke tears. You’ll be wise to feel profound gratitude for your capacity to feel so deeply. For best results, go in search of experiences and insights that will unleash the full cathartic power of weeping. Act as if empathy is a superpower. ●
