‘Prevent Suffering Before it Begins’

Editor:

Beyond Reason

Hydrogen enlightened

The gruesome revelations of dogs being shot and buried in mass graves at Miranda’s Rescue have understandably sparked outrage and heartbreak. Every one of those dogs was a life that mattered — a creature that deserved a loving home and a better future.

Unfortunately, Miranda’s Rescue is not unique. Stories of rescues gone bad are all too common because there are simply too many dogs and not enough homes. Animal shelters and rescues are overwhelmed with unwanted animals. Day after day, intake exceeds adoptions, pushing an already strained system beyond its limits. As a result, healthy, adoptable animals are euthanized in shelters or transferred to rescues where there is little oversight or follow-up.

The only way to prevent these tragedies is to address the root cause rather than just the symptoms: prevent the births of unwanted animals through widespread access to affordable spaying and neutering.

California cities and counties spend more than $400 million each year on animal control. It is time to redirect a portion of that funding toward prevention, making spay/neuter services affordable for every pet. Fewer animals being born means fewer animals entering shelters, increasing the likelihood that those that do will find responsible, loving homes.

Prevention is more humane and it is fiscally responsible. The cost of spaying or neutering a pet is a fraction of the cost of impounding, housing, feeding, providing veterinary care for and, in many cases, euthanizing that same animal. Investing in affordable spay/neuter programs will reduce shelter populations, save taxpayer dollars and prevent suffering before it begins.

Anger over what happened at Miranda’s Rescue is justified. But outrage will not solve the pet overpopulation crisis. If we are serious about ending the suffering, it is time to invest in prevention today so that fewer animals face uncertain futures tomorrow.

‘Shelter of Last Resort’

Editor:

What everyone seems to have overlooked, is the fact that Miranda’s Rescue is the shelter of last resort. Shelters that cannot find homes for their dogs send them to Miranda’s. After that, where can Miranda send them? Let’s face it, who (apart from the homeless) would adopt a pit bull? I myself adopted a dog from Miranda’s and would be quite satisfied doing it again.

Amazon’s Negative Impact by the Numbers

By James Zeller views@northcoastjournal.com

The impact Amazon’s proposed distribution center in McKinleyville would have is being debated in person and online. I suggest we avail ourselves of whatever knowledge we can find, with a critical eye to its sources.

We learn by listening to each other, sharing resources, reading studies and also paying attention to what other communities’ experiences tell us about an Amazon warehouse’s/delivery facility’s impact. The debate is an opportunity to learn, communicate and connect about the community we want to support here.

Studies I have read suggest Amazon may hurt, not help, our local economy and our county’s ongoing employment and housing crises. (Links to the studies referenced here are accessible at northcoastjournal.com).

A 2023 American Economic Liberties Project study found that in communities with Amazon warehouses, retail workers’ pay dropped by 2.4 percent after Amazon’s arrival. Retail workers’ pay fell as far as 100 miles away. Local retail sectors lost jobs, which were not offset by jobs added within the Amazon warehouse.

A study from the University of Illinois Chicago Center for Urban Economic Development found that 53 percent of Amazon workers experienced one or more forms of food insecurity, while 48 percent reported one or more forms of housing insecurity. According to a National Bureau of Economic Research study, a 2.9 percent decline in employment growth of the retail sector was also found in counties with Amazon fulfillment centers.

Civic Economics found that for every $100 spent at a local independent business, $68 recirculate locally, whereas only $42 of $100 spent at a chain store stay local. More recent studies suggest wider margins, with the Institute for Local Self-Reliance showing that for every $100 spent at a corporate chain business, only $13 recirculate in the local economy, while for every $100 spent at locally owned business, $52 recirculate locally.

The Institute for Local Self-Reliance reports, “three-quarters of independent retailers ranked Amazon’s dominance as a major threat to their survival, and only 11 percent of those selling on its site described

their experience as successful.”

According to Amazon’s Stephen Maduli-Williams’ comments during the Azalea Hall public meeting on April 29, Amazon is not offering 227 Amazon employee jobs. Amazon employees would total “around 80” warehouse jobs. The other 165 would be independent contractors (delivery drivers), none of whom would be covered by Amazon health insurance, provided workers’ compensation, unemployment insurance or overtime pay as full employees would be.

Of the proposed independent contractors, 112 would be “Flex” drivers who drive their personal vehicles, pay for their own gas and vehicle wear and tear out of their on national average $19/hour wages. They can have an out-of-state license and out-of-state vehicle registrations — anyone with the Flex app can follow YouTube instructions to easily switch what state they can work in. The other 43 proposed independently contracted drivers are Amazon “Delivery Service Providers” (DSPs).

“Amazon Drives Low Wages: The Unraveling of Workplace Protections for Delivery Drivers,” a 2025 study published by the Harvard Kennedy School Malcolm Wiener Center for Social Policy reveals problems with Amazon’s delivery model. (please watch the YouTube video linked on the NCJ website) DSPs drivers make $19/hour, while UPS averages $35/hour. The average Amazon DSP and Flex driver lasts about 1 year on the job, compared to 10 years for FedEx and UPS. The key reason Amazon drivers quit is that their wages do not increase with tenure, and they do not have upward mobility. Flex drivers are denied the right to unionize, while DPS drivers who have managed to unionize have had their companies’ contracts terminated.

The National Employment Law Project has also published a study on Flex drivers, “Delivering Precarity: How Amazon Flex Harms Workers and What to Do About It.” This study’s findings agree with Harvard Kennedy School’s, and states, “Through Flex and its public policy work, Amazon is eroding labor standards in the broader last-mile delivery sector and beyond.”

A better question than “Will Amazon help our economy?” is “What kind of business environment do we want to see here?”

If all we focus on is the promise of temporary increases in the number of jobs and total wages (not a conclusion supported by independent studies) and the temporary but slight decreases in poverty (also not supported by the studies I’ve cited) then we miss a lot.

The longer-range outcomes we need to consider are who gets hired to do what and how does this effect the existing business environment, infrastructure and local culture at large. Amazon’s expansion in the delivery and warehouse sector won’t necessarily create new wealth or jobs for Humboldt County. A more likely scenario is that with decreased delivery time, Amazon expansion will cause a larger share of Humboldt retail purchases to be done online, sending profits to distant banks overnight and removing wealth from the community. Delivery jobs that are already being done by employees receiving a living wage will be threatened. Warehouse jobs would replace local retail jobs as local retailers’ sales drop.

It is true we have an unemployment problem, but would this make it better? We have a special local business culture. If we allow Amazon to open a warehouse, what kind of cultural change might that herald? Amazon could do great damage to our local economy and once that economy is gone, it might be too late to return to the way things were.

Amazon is being sued for price gouging by exorbitantly and illegally raising the price of essential goods (toilet paper and masks) during the COVID-19 pandemic, and being sued for price-fixing, illegally using their influence to force other retailers to raise their prices.

Led by the corporate power and greed of a billionaire owner, Amazon Inc. continues to break laws and violate basic moral decency. I do not trust them. I encourage anyone on the fence about this to read these studies. For anyone who disagrees, I hope to listen to you, learn, communicate and connect. l

Humbuggery in Humboldt, Part 1

A partial history of miracle healers, clairvoyants and con artists

By Lynette Mullen newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

“We have been told that Eureka is the best town for fakirs on the coast and it is a ‘good thing’ as any fi rst-class fakir will testify who has tried it.” — The Daily Standard, March 8, 1900

Though technology has evolved, human nature has not. Like today’s confidence men and women, scammers of Humboldt’s past exploited hopes, fears and the desire to protect ourselves and loved ones. They earned trust before betraying it and often relied on embarrassment and shame to keep victims silent. Con artists often dismissed their victims as suckers, but many were simply people searching for money, answers, or relief from suffering, and trusted a seemingly qualified and often charismatic stranger who promised to help.

In 1911, 26-year-old Ida Korppila trusted a man who promised to better her life and lost her life savings instead.

Korppila, a Finnish immigrant, worked as a domestic servant for Eureka physician Harold Gross and boarded with his family. It was a respectable position, but Ida wanted a husband, home and family of her own. The odds were not in her favor. Many of Humboldt County’s single Finnish men worked in logging camps and lumber mills, while those living in town gathered in saloons from which Eureka women were barred after 8 p.m. The Finnish community hosted gatherings, but as the employee of a respected physician, Korppila had to avoid any hint of impropriety to keep her job and housing. As the years passed, she grew

lonelier and more discouraged — until she found a man who promised to help.

In the fall of 1911, the Daily Humboldt Times ran prominent advertisements for “Prof. Russell De Sang, Clairvoyant and Palmist.” In them, De Sang assured readers he was genuine, unlike other “pretenders” who plagued Eureka. He promised to solve life’s most pressing problems and, most critical for Korppila, “cause speedy and happy marriages.” The young woman told him she was building a better life in America, saving to bring her mother from Finland and hoping to fi nd a husband.

De Sang directed her to bring him $500 (roughly $17,000 in today’s money). She did. He told her to place the money in a sack. She did. He took it, muttered incantations to summon the spirits that gave him power and cast a spell. He then told Korppila to wear it around her neck. Crucially, he said, she was not to open it for 10 days.

Despite any temptation she may have felt, Korppila followed De Sang’s instructions exactly. She wore the sack around her neck and waited. Ten days passed, but no husband appeared. Disappointed, she returned to De Sang, who said she lacked commitment. At his direction, she brought him the balance of her life savings: another $285. He added the money to the bag, recited more incantations and returned it with strict instructions not to look inside. When the allotted time had passed and still no husband had arrived, she opened the bag and found nothing but weights. She searched for De Sang, but the clairvoyant was gone.

Russell De Sang wasn’t really Russell De Sang. He’d been born in Pennsylvania as William Davey in 1884. After his father died, Davey’s widowed mother struggled to raise her five children alone. When they were old enough, he and his sisters found factory work, but Davey balked at manual labor. He turned to petty thieving instead. After his second arrest for burglary at 17, Davey failed to follow the terms of his probation, landing him behind bars. After a short stint in jail, he married but failed at that, too. In 1909, while he was living in Elmira, New York, Josephine Lowrey came through as La Femme Fatima, a dancer at the Chemung County Fair. Davey fell in love. The two fled to New York City and headed west after escaping prosecution for an alleged theft.

Lowrey, a “coochee-coochee dancer,” also told fortunes and taught Davey everything she knew. By the time the couple reached San Francisco, Davey had become “William Daniels,” and he and “wife” Georgia, likely Josephine Lowrey, were a team. The pair established an office on Market Street and promoted Georgia as a “wonderful seeress” able to address personal, domestic and business troubles, dispel evil influence and grant wishes. Satisfaction was guaranteed. They also traveled. During a session in Stirling City, California, Georgia “fell into a trance” and told a Mrs. Neill that her recently inherited fortune must be spiritually cleansed of a curse to avoid a lifetime of misfortune. Georgia persuaded Neill to bring her the full amount, just over $1,000 The “clairvoyant” sewed the money into a Continued on next page »

leather bag, performed incantations, and instructed Neill not to open it for a week. She lasted an hour. After deciding to buy a watch, Niell opened the bag to grab a dollar and found paper instead.

A sobbing Neill reported the theft. When William and Georgia Daniels were arrested, they had $850, two tickets to Kansas City and letters from people across the country demanding restitution after being scammed. Charges for receiving stolen property against him were dropped, but Georgia was convicted of grand larceny and sentenced to four years in San Quentin Prison.

William did not wait around — or remain William. Reinvented as professor Russell De Sang, he and partner J. Curry Toland went north. In Petaluma and Santa Rosa, they advertised De Sang as a gifted clairvoyant offering specially reduced rates to the worried, discouraged and curious. In Ukiah, the pair were arrested for assaulting a 14-year-old girl, but prosecutors dropped the charges after determining that the girl, described as “feeble-minded,” could not provide reliable testimony. Less than two weeks after their release, “De Sang … an occult scientist, Hindu philosopher and Yogi meditator,” opened clairvoyant and palmist parlors at the corner of Fifth and E streets in Eureka.

anyway. Following Korppila’s tearful trial testimony, McGee told jurors she had first visited “De Sang” for palm readings. After spending $16 over a series of visits, he promised to resolve a property dispute if she brought him more funds. She returned with her $200 life savings. De Sang insisted it wasn’t enough, and she mortgaged her house for another $600. He passed her $800 through blue smoke, blindfolded her and returned what he claimed was her money in a small black bag. He instructed her not to open it for several weeks. When she finally did, she found only paper. Humiliated, she remained silent until she learned of his arrest and extradition back to Humboldt County. McGee was only a supporting witness at his trial, but her story strengthened the prosecution’s case. Testimony wrapped up on July 12, 1912, and the jury took less than five minutes to find William Davey/Russell De Sang/William Daniels guilty of stealing Korppila’s life savings.

After discovering her money was gone, Korppila pressed charges against William Davey, aka Russell De Sang, for grand larceny. Convinced he had left California, Eureka officials offered a $200 reward for his return. Nebraska authorities soon announced they had captured the fugitive. After taking a steamer to San Francisco, securing extradition papers, identifying measurements and fingerprints, Eureka Police Chief Frank Cloney rode a train all the way to Grand Island, Nebraska, and returned empty-handed. The man had not been Davey. Weeks later, Cloney left again for Wagoner County, Oklahoma. Cloney believed those officials had the right man but Wagoner County authorities demanded the $200 reward before surrendering their prisoner. With assurances that payment was on the way, they finally released Davey, and Cloney brought him back to Humboldt. Korppila identified him in a lineup. Bail was set at $5,000 and kept him in jail until the trial.

After Davey was taken into custody, an elderly woman from Elk River came forward with allegations of her own. She agreed to testify only if her identity was protected. Officials promised anonymity, but her name, Mrs. McGee, came out

In the midst of Davey’s legal proceedings, the Eureka City Council adopted a new ordinance requiring astrologers, spiritualistic mediums and clairvoyants to pay a $300 quarterly license fee in advance. Officials hoped it would protect residents from future scams, but it came too late for Korppila and McGee. Davey went to San Quentin for four years. Korppila and McGee’s life savings, however, were gone for good. l

A Dream Realized at Powers Creek Brewery

By Michael Kraft

onthetable@northcoastjournal.com

I’m sitting across a bar table from Dylan Schatz, chief cook and kettle washer at Powers Creek Brewery. He’s recounting a time he talked his way into some event at the revered and now lamented Anchor Brewing Co. He told his host about the bottling line he worked on at Mad River Brewing Co., which the brewery got from Sierra Nevada, which had gotten it from Anchor. The Anchor guy goes, “No way,” or something like that. Soon, an overalls-clad Fritz Maytag — owner of Anchor, heir to the Maytag appliances fortune and a guy who did as much as anyone to bring craft beer to American palates — was touring Schatz around the deepest nooks and crannies of the operation.

Schatz served at Mad River Brewing

Co. for a couple of decades. He started packaging with no experience, moved into brewing and fell in love with it. Decades on, he says, “Being a brewer is not what I do, it’s who I am.”

Powers Creek is the brainchild of Jason Ramos and Josh Reed, longtime staffers at the Blue Lake Casino. For years, they had discussed how it would be cool and potentially profitable for the tribal operations to have its own brewery. Learning that Schatz was available, they moved. Within weeks, Schatz was designing his dream nano-brewing setup, where he now produces two barrels a week in what feels like a galley kitchen. He fondly calls it “bulletproof.”

There are generally two ways to try

Schatz’s brews. You might luck into him pouring at a festival, as I did at Oyster Fest. During the season, 20 percent of Powers Creek’s output is donated to local nonprofit fundraisers and/or poured at festivals. Or you might go out to Blue Lake and try them in one of the casino’s restaurants, at the Wave Lounge, or on the casino floor. (Note that these days, the casino is virtually smoke-free; I’m sensitive and noted nothing.) Ten taps are reserved for Powers Creek’s own brews. Four are permanent (an IPA, Japanese Lager, Dry Irish Stout and California Common), while the other half dozen rotate.

It’s worth the effort. Schatz aims for classic styles brewed honestly and precisely, and oh-so-fresh.

The Jazmin Japanese Lager comes across as crisp, a perfect complement to the sushi at the Blue Fusion Bistro. As with many lagers, any fl aws in the beer would come through. There are none.

There’s a rotating seltzer on tap. I’ve noticed that our local craft brewers produce more nuanced and complex seltzers than the mass-market stuff. This one provides fruit notes from lemon zest and raspberries.

The Cherry Belgian delivers some bite. It’s a product of two Belgian yeast strains.

nuttier. Feeling like he nailed it the fi rst time, Schatz has never tinkered with his original recipe.

You could say the California Common represents Powers Creek’s salute to Anchor Steam. Based on a recipe Reed produced — pale, crystal and Victory malts, and nothing but the style-correct Northern Brewer hops — it’s just honest, with no frills. I love the style and I loved this beer.

Forty percent of the brewery’s sales come from the Vista Cruiser IPA. It’s a balanced, classic West Coast approach, hoppy but not over the top. IPAs are about hops, and that goes double for a Double IPA. Powers Creek’s is redolent of hops, an intriguing blend of several, including Chinook and Citra, along with Azacca as a floral dry hop. Chinook can be tricky — too resinous for some brews and some people. With IPAs generally not featuring malts, the Chinook character stands up nicely to the 8.6 percent alcohol level of this beer.

My personal favorite was the Hefeweizen. Brewed with 60 percent wheat malt and a German Hefeweizen yeast, it’s a summer drinker for people who want something non-standard, elegant and a little yeasty in the best way. It doesn’t so much go through your mouth as it unfolds in it.

Schatz originally brewed an Amber Ale for the memorial of beloved elder Art Ramsey. This malty offering, a traditional amber, comes around pretty often.

Powers Creek offers up a Dry Irish Stout, one of the fi rst brews Schatz produced there. Another tribal elder mentioned a love of dark beers and Schatz responded. It’s closer to Murphy’s than Guiness, a little

Schatz describes his customers as traditional craft beer drinkers, with an occasional explorer trying something new. (He gives props to the bartenders who tempt folks to give craft beer a try.) Pragmatic about market trends, he attempts to give the people what they want. He also follows a traditional seasonal rhythm: lighter, drinkable beers in summer, darker beers in fall, heavier beers in winter.

It’s summer and coming to the casino’s taps soon are a Mexican Lager and a Czech Pilsner. I’m planning to be back for that Pilsner, which Schatz says contains just pilsner malt and old school Saaz hops. Maybe see you out there. ●

Old Town’s Festivities for the 250th

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill

Old Town was full of July 4 revelers during Eureka Main Street’s holiday street fair on Saturday.

Folks wound through vendor booths, information tables and food stalls, and tapped toes and danced to the music on spread out stages. The gazebo served as a backdrop to dancers and bagpipers alike as performances peppered the afternoon. Things also got messy with a kids’ whipped cream pie-eating contest and a watermelon-eating contest that ended in a tie-breaking applause finish.

Continued on next page »

Fireworks to celebrate the country’s 250th birthday, however, went off earlier than its usual 10 p.m. start as planned and announced. In a Facebook post, the city of Eureka apologized for “an oversight in our contract with the pyrotechnics company” that led to the show opening at 9:30 p.m., leaving many who missed it disappointed. “We know many people planned their evening around the posted time, and we understand the disappointment of those who missed all or part of the fireworks display because of our error,” the post continued. “We sincerely regret that experience.”

Tempers Flare, Benches Clear, Crabs Prevail

By Brandon Dixon getout@northcoastjournal.com

After a dominating week launched the Humboldt Crabs baseball team into first place, the crustaceans welcomed the Bay Area Force into town for two non-conference games before a pivotal series with the Solano Mudcats. In game one, the Crabs, who are down a few starters, got creative again attacking the Force with an array of four pitchers. Lead by three RBIs from Ryan Vanderbrink and Alex Harrington, the Crabs jumped to an early lead with a five-run first and never looked back. Tyler Howard was the standout, driving in three and hitting a home run, and Everett Johnson added a round tripper to put things in the bag for a 13-5 Crabs win.

In game two, the hometown kids would smother the Force. VandenBrink stayed hot with two hits and three RBIs. Jaden Shabry would add a four-hit night, while Manoa Chapman would drive in three. It was

business as usual for Adam Enyart, as the “Yarty Party” continued with two more hits and two more runs driven in. Crabs strutted 17-2, but things were just getting warmed up for one of the wildest weekends of Crabs baseball in recent memory.

On Thursday night, the Crabs would welcome the second to last place Solano Mudcats. The Crabs, like everyone in the PEL, have played a lot of games. On this night they looked tired and just couldn’t get it going. Our starter would have a rough one and, after the first three innings, our boys found themselves down 6-1. Our Crabbies are never afraid of a big offensive inning, but that night it wouldn’t show up. Enyart tried his best, but despite two hits and two RBIs, the Crabs were never able to capitalize. Then the drama began. Standing by the dugout, I couldn’t help but notice a lot of chatter and chirping from the Mudcats, and

neither could the Crabs. The jabs and the talk would go on all night, and the Crabs would drop game one 6-3.

On Friday night, with a doubleheader lined up leading into a huge Fourth of July weekend, the fireworks came a night early. In game one, the Crabs fell behind, but five runs in the fifth and a run each in the sixth and seventh propelled them to an 8-2 victory. Howard led the way with a moon-shot home run that landed on the northbound side of U.S. Highway 101. He’d end up with three hits and three RBIs. Enyart would add a hit and two runs scored while also locking up his second save. But continued back-and-forth between the two teams would bring things to a boiling point in game two.

In game two, the Mudcats jumped out to a four-run lead, as the chirping continued. The Crabs responded with two runs in the fourth and fifth innings to tie things up. Kawana Soares, who had already singled in a huge run to close the lead to one, found himself in the center of one of the most exciting finishes we’ve seen in a while. In the top of the fifth inning with the game tied, all hell broke loose. There was an exchange between players after a huge strikeout for the Crabs, and the benches cleared. Coaches, players and umpires were all on the field, and warnings were issued to both dugouts, as what looked like a full-on “tarps-off donnybrook” was broken up and cooler heads prevailed.

“I just thought we had a huge strikeout and I was pumped up for our pitcher,” said three-year veteran catcher Soares. “I didn’t say much but they got mad at the way I was fired up and I just smiled at them.” With a grin, he added, “Apparently they took exception to that.” With warnings issued and the game tied in the bottom of the sixth, the Mudcats pitcher hit one of the Crabs hitters and was ejected from the game. And the tides turned for the Crabs after a Jamie Mullin strikeout. The crabs had runners on second and third with their MVP Enyart coming to the plate.

Soares, who was waiting on deck behind him, says the savvy Enyart turned to his fellow captain and asked, “With Jamie getting out, you know they are going to walk me to load up the bases — can you get it done?” Soares says he looked at his teammate and said, “You’re damn right I’ll get it done.” Enyart was right and the Mudcats would put him on to load the bases. Soares, cool as a cucumber, came to the plate and

delivered. He drove a line drive single to plate two and gave the Crabs the lead. The Crabs faithful were going nuts. Following a Daniel Osbourne single, Shabry added a base-clearing double that blew things open and put the game out of reach for the suddenly silent Mudcats. Soares stomped on home plate and looked into the opposing dugout. That capped off a three-hit threeRBI game for Soares, and the five-run inning was the nail in the Mudcats’ coffin. Evan Miranda was outstanding in relief again, throwing four-plus shutout innings of shutout baseball while striking out six. At one point Miranda had thrown seven straight balls and there was action in the bullpen for the Crabs. Coach Jeff Giacomini talked to Miranda about coming out of the game, but the pitcher was fired up and told the skipper, “No, this one is mine.” Miranda stayed in and the Crabs won 9-4. What a night. The rest of the weekend was a cake walk for the Crabs. On the July 4, after hitting the ball as hard as you can to all the wrong parts of the yard, VandenBrink broke through with his first home run of the summer. The Crabbies won 16-10.

On get-away day, the Crabs marched out nine pitchers in nine innings. Behind three hits from Howard and three more RBIs from Enyart, the they finished their statement and won 12-2.

Now the biggest challenge of the season begins as the Crabs hit the road for three games against the three-time defending champs and the team that took the title from them last summer, the Healdsburg Prune Packers. They continue to Medford for two games against the Rogues. They will return home July 14 to take on the West Coast Kings. Things are just heating up. l

The Pan Piper

By Collin Yeo setlist@northcoastjournal.com

Afew weeks ago, I wrote an intro here about a dawn chorus of birds I heard while camping. I titled that column “The Piper at the Gates of Dawn” after a famous chapter from The Wind in the Willows , in which the pagan god Pan appears as a benevolent shepherd of animals to help the novel’s companions Mole and Rat fi nd Otter’s lost child, Portly. The exhausted Portly is found safe and snoozing at the feet of the woodland god, who plays a melody on his pipes to welcome the dawn and erase the furry friends of their memory of his presence. This is a depiction of a benevolent administrator to the vulnerable, a magical being more concerned with caring for the innocent than his own majesty. Sometime later, I was in my back yard listening to the superb Miles Davis and Gil Evans record Sketches of Spain , and I came upon the track “The Pan Piper.” Some light research led me to a possible origin for the tune. It supposedly came from a field recording made in Spain by the renowned musical ethnographer Alan Lomax of an alborada, or “dawn song,” played on a fife by an itinerant knife grinder and capador — a castrator of pigs and other farm animals. The tune was meant to herald the man’s arrival to a village and advertise his services. He is a much different administrator of animals than Pan, but an essential piper, nonetheless.

I was contrasting these figures in my head over the Fourth of July weekend with the people fi ring off screaming fireworks and thunderous mortars around my neighborhood and beyond while I did my best to keep my kitties from losing their little minds in sheer terror. My memory took me back to that morning chorus outside my tent last month when I fi rst began thinking of the beauty and power of a gentle and protective deity for the many innocent creatures lost and scared in the violent clamor of our human world. The horrors of poor administration or even malevolent expressions of power over the vulnerable have been particularly stark to anyone reading the news lately — Humboldt County rarely makes the international news for good reasons, unfortunately. And because I tend to see things holistically, rather than as a series of discrete events, I suspect there are a lot of career

bureaucrats and enforcers who should have to “pay the piper” for the negligence — or worse — malevolent corruption that allowed so much suffering. And that’s all I’ll say at the moment about that.

There’s a character in Leonard Cohen’s “The Master Song” who is described as “An ape with angel glands.” This has always served me as a good description of the scope of primal brutality and divine gentleness embedded in the moral compass of the human mind. We are a species full of both fascists and pacifists, and while violence has a physical weight to it, hypocrisy does not, so many of our leaders can infuriatingly maintain their corrupt positions without being crippled by the crooked weight of their contradictions.

This is a problem in general, but it becomes an abominable stench when mass graves start opening their unholy blossoms to the sky. Just as the pipes of majestic Pan sang a sweet tune of safety for the lost otter and his worried seekers, the rotting whimpers from the pits of discarded and violated innocents sing a song, too. But it isn’t a song of vengeance and justice that might exonerate the crimes of our greater society through legal recourse. No, it’s just heartbroken: a howl of unrequited love from that final moment when the complete trust and obedience to the goodness of our species was met with a pointless and cruel extinction. An execution carried out by a conspiracy of indifference which we call civilization.

Our society is often a criminal one, and it’s good to remember that feeling like an outsider in a criminal land isn’t such a bad thing. There’s a reason why outlaws are enduring romantic figures in our ballads. Think about the songs you want to sing and hear sung, and the pipers you’d like to follow. Perhaps you’d care to join me in defying the order of the Man and redefining the laws of human nature a little bit. Let’s howl our heads off at the darkness of the new moon in anticipation of a sweeter chorus with our lost little friends when searching hearts finally meet up in joy and relief at the gates of dawn.

Thursday

Francis Vanek is an exceptional tenor sax player who is likely familiar to many of you in the jazz community, having played

around these parts quite a few times over the years with local jazz studs RLA along with other various groups. Whether you are a returning audience member or uninitiated fan-to-be, you should roll through the Basement after 7:30 p.m. to check the fella out along with his quartet. The price is quite nice at a mere $5.

Friday

Regular readers of this space should be familiar with The Pine Hill Haints , Alabama’s best group of country hill stompers and cemetery creepers in this or any other century. Hell, they even have a stick and bucket slap bass and know how to use it. I’m happy to announce they’ll be haunting the Swan Room at the Shanty tonight at 9 p.m. for a free gig along with associated act The Invisible Teardrops , whose songs sound like the tune selection from the jukebox in a roadside diner that burned down in 1960, if memory serves. Perfect midsummer night sounds.

Saturday

While Reggae on the River might be a month away, Humbrews is hosting the official pre-party tonight at 9 p.m. If you need your fix, come through for the rhythms of Green Lion Crew and Nobel Tobal Sound System to hold you over until August. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. Blessings.

Sunday

There’s a circus tent over at 2515 Wyatt Lane in Arcata near Ennis Park where some summer fun will be going down over the next few weeks. One such event happens

today at 6 p.m., when local roots and punk collectives The Cowtown Sound and Vegan Slaughterhouse will be joining forces for an event they are calling The Vegan Cow Slaughter Circus. I have read on the flyers there will also be a puppet and drag element, and the cost is $10 for this all-ages event, although you will not be turned away for having less cash, especially in this economy.

Monday

It’s a dark night in more ways than one during this doorway period to the new moon, so enjoy the silence.

Tuesday

Los Angeles noise rock and freak-out folk act The Clog will be playing at Moss Oak Commons this evening at 7 p.m. for a very negotiable $10. The local acts are going to be hot, too, with sun and fun synthetic jazz funk greats Fek and the Future Friends of Sound joining up the enigmatic Otolith .

Wednesday

One good way to beat back the summertime blues is to enjoy some hot and sparkly vintage country, courtesy of returning Portland road dogs Jenny Don’t & the Spurs This time through, the group will be kicking it up at Humbrews, where tickets will run you $25 at the door, and $20 in advance. That door should be opening up around 8:30 p.m., for those of you who don’t want to be out too late in the midweek. ●

Collin Yeo (he/him) has, in the words of Pogo, “met the enemy, and he is us.” He lives in Arcata.

Vegan Slaughterhouse performs in the circus tent on Wyatt Lane in Arcata on Sunday at 6 p.m.

Saturnian Drone: Dragonfly at Titan

(Part 2)

By Barry Evans

fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com

As we saw last week, Titan’s surface is a tapestry of abundant carbon-rich chemistry, a delicious target for curious Earthlings to explore. The challenges are immense, including temperatures that make Minnesotan winters look positively tropical, a 90-minute-long communication gap with Earth, sand-like dunes ready to bog down wheeled vehicles and surface sunlight one thousandth the strength of what we receive here on Earth.

In the early stages of designing a suitable vehicle to explore Titan’s surface, engineers considered deploying a Montgolfière Balloon, that is, a hot-air balloon designed to descend from an orbiter and float 6 miles above the surface for several months. That was before the rapid development of drone technology, which led to the design of the Dragonfly mission, NASA’s most exciting attempt to date to explore the far reaches of our solar system.

My recreation drone and Dragonfly have rotors at each of their four corners, but there the resemblance ends. Dragonfly is an octocopter sporting eight 52-inch-long aluminum propellers with titanium leading edges, two at each corner rotating in opposite directions. With 1/7 Earth’s gravity and a thick atmosphere (characterized by the Huygens lander), Titan is a perfect environment for a drone. On Titan, a drone flies with 40 times the efficiency of one on Earth, which also makes landing on Titan a breeze compared to, say, Mars. Six years after launch, Dragonfly will hit Titan’s thick atmosphere at 16,000 mph, then rapidly decelerate, first using its aeroshell, followed by two parachutes before flying under its own power to autonomously scan the surface for a safe landing site. The whole procedure will take about two hours.

Although it’s easy to think of Dragonfly as a drone, its actual flying time is minimal. Rather, it’s a mobile lander, able to hop from

one site of interest to another, each flight taking 20-30 minutes with a 16 Earth-day hiatus between flights. (That’s the length of a day on Titan.) One the ground, two drills, one on each landing skid, will send samples of surface material to a mass spectrometer via a “Dyson vacuum” type suction system. Particularly interesting samples — hopefully, those relevant to biological processes — will then be vaporized for fine (atomic scale) analysis. A Japanese-built seismometer will measure any Titanquakes, giving information on Titan’s subsurface ocean, while other instruments will measure the wind and composition of the atmosphere.

Solar panels are useless far from the sun under a hazy atmosphere, so Dragonfly will rely on a radioisotope thermoelectric generator, using the natural decay of plutonium 238 (half-life 84 years) to produce heat which will generate about 100 watts of electricity. Lithium ion batteries, recharged during the 16-day gap between flights, will power Dragonfly’s eight rotors.

A priority target for Dragonfly will be the inside of the Selk crater, an environment in which carbon-rich material and liquid water may have mixed for an extended period following the impact that created the crater. If (big if) hydrocarbon-based life once arose there, Dragonfly’s exquisitely sensitive on-board “chemistry lab” should be able to detect that. I can’t wait! l

Mary Hester Sanger

December 1, 1949 – June 4, 2026

Mary Hester Sanger passed away on June 4, 2026, at the age of 76. She leaves behind a legacy of compassion, resilience, and a profound love for her family, her community, and the natural beauty of Humboldt County.

Mary devoted much of her life to caring for others, working for many years as a nurse and midwife. Through her skill, kindness, and steady presence, she guided countless families through some of life’s most meaningful moments. Those who knew her professionally remember her as a dedicated caregiver whose compassion extended far beyond the walls of a clinic or hospital.

In the 1970s, Mary made the journey to Humboldt County as part of the Backto-the-Land movement. What began as a search for a different way of living became a lifelong home. She fell in love with the towering redwoods, winding rivers, and rugged coastline, embracing the region’s independent spirit and strong sense of community. Humboldt County remained close to her heart for the rest of her life.

Matthew Sanger and Nathan Sanger, and by her four beloved grandchildren, who brought her endless pride and joy. Her love for her family was unwavering, and she cherished every opportunity to spend time with them.

Those who knew Mary will remember her for her strength, generosity, intelligence, and caring nature. Whether through her work as a nurse and midwife, her environmental advocacy, her friendships, or her devotion to her family, she lived a life centered on helping others. She touched countless lives with her warmth and compassion, leaving an enduring impact on all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Mary was a passionate advocate for protecting the environment and preserving the natural world she loved. She believed deeply in the importance of addressing climate change and supporting efforts to safeguard the forests, rivers, wildlife, and ecosystems of Northern California for future generations. Her appreciation for nature was reflected not only in her beliefs but in the way she lived her life.

Mary was preceded in death by her husbands, Werner Sanger and Kevin Coles. She is survived by her sons,

Mary’s memory will live on in the family she loved, the community she called home, and the many people whose lives she enriched through her kindness and care.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, September 26, 2026, at 2pm at Beginnings in Briceland. Family and friends are warmly invited to gather to celebrate Mary’s remarkable life, share memories, and honor the compassion, strength, and love she gave so freely to others.

In lieu of flowers, the family encourages acts of kindness or donations to organizations that support nursing, midwifery, climate action, or the preservation of the natural landscapes of Humboldt County that Mary treasured throughout her life.

Any questions regarding Mary’s Celebration of Life can be directed to Matthew Sanger at mcs2178@gmail.com.
