According to witnesses, a man matching Lasinski’s description ducked his head in the main showroom of Roy’s II Auto Center and asked to use the phone, saying he needed to call a cab. When employees said he couldn’t use the phone, he took off running.

By the time the CHP officer pulls into the Best Western parking lot, Lasinski has allegedly fled his vehicle. After allegedly brandishing a firearm at a Best Western employee, he hops the fence out of the hotel property near the corner of Fourth and Commercial streets.

ave we ever looked more critically at the news? You can’t throw a crumpled up newspaper without hitting a think piece on journalism as an instrument of propaganda or the last defense of the republic. Or both. Everybody and their cousin has an opinion on the impact of fake news, bias and click bait — about what news organizations should cover and how. We duke it out in the comment sections and about the comment sections. We lament shrinking newsrooms and cheer investigative reporting — sometimes in the same breath, as with the East Bay Times, which won a Pulitzer and laid off 20 newsroom staff members only days later. These are conversations we have in our newsroom, too. Among the factors we weigh in editorial meetings is the feedback from readers who tell us week after week, by visiting our site and picking up the paper — not to mention in comments, on social media and in letters — what they want to know about.

A Eureka police officer gets out of his patrol vehicle and begins pursuing Lasinski on foot near where the alley meets Seventh Street.

The Mazda comes to a stop at the intersection of Sixth and B, less than a block away from where Lasinski allegedly stole it. It’s unclear exactly why the vehicle stopped here but the vehicle was drawing gunfire from officers at the time. Lasinski takes off running north on B Street.

EPD officer Steven Linfoot pursues Lasinski on foot onto the Sole Savers auto dealership lot. A running Mazda 3 is idling in a loading bay with its passenger door open. Lasinski runs to the vehicle and gets in. Linfoot runs to the vehicle’s driver’s side and commands the suspect to “stop” before firing at least eight shots into the Mazda. After a moment, the Mazda is put in gear and speeds out of the parking lot.

About halfway between A and B streets, Lasinski stops running and leans against a parked Volkswagen Jetta. As officers stage nearby with their guns trained on the suspect, the effects of blood loss appear to hit him. Slowly, he falls to a sitting position before he finally collapses. Officers wait a moment and then move in, pulling the gun from his hand and cuffing him before summoning medical aid to the scene.

Miscounted Editor: The recent article about the Point in Time count of homeless in Humboldt County appears to show it has very inaccurate numbers (“No Homeless People in Southern Humboldt?” posted May 19). I appreciate Linda Stansberry delving into the count and the issues surrounding. There were fewer volunteers doing the count, the count was delayed a month, it was bad weather and there had been camping evictions. As a volunteer with Humboldt Edge, the street paper for, by and about Humboldt’s homeless population, we would love to hear from those who were counted, those who did not get counted and the volunteers who tried to do the count. Your stories are important to us and should be to the county and cities within the county. We invite you to write a letter to the editor or submit an article about your experiences. You can submit to humboldtedge@gmail.com, in the mail to Humboldt Edge, PO Box 162, Arcata, CA 95518, or drop off at Arcata Annex, catty corner from the Transit station at the end of Ninth Street, Monday through Thursday 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Dave Rosso, Eureka

Costs Over People Editor: The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has reviewed the latest version of the AHCA (Trumpcare) and forecasts the number of newly uninsured in 2026 will now be 23 million people as opposed to the 24 million forecast for the previous version (“Huffman, Humboldt Residents Decry House Passage of ‘TrumpCare,’” posted May 4). The administration’s budget director, Mick Mulvaney, has stated that one shouldn’t put much credence in any of these numbers because, in his opinion, the CBO’s predictions for the ACA (or

Though we enjoy native plants (generally they require less work) I think we do a disservice to think that our animal neighbors cannot thrive in our non-native introductions and structures, as long as the plants are not invasive and don’t require chemical treatments.

Editor: Patrik Griego has sued Humboldt County over the hiring of David Marcus as Chief Public Defender. A visiting judge is scheduled to hear the county’s motion to dismiss the suit on June 30 (“An Artificial Legal Controversy,” May 25). The county claims that the suit is “frivolous and baseless” and that the dispute is “purely political.” The suit is not frivolous because it concerns the competence of the public defenders, and their ability to advocate for the most vulnerable citizens of the county. The suit is not political, because it is based on the questionable legal qualifications of David Marcus as public defender. But the county got it half right when it stated that the suit is “promulgated

by those fuming about the merits” of Marcus’s appointment. Of course we’re fuming! But we are fuming about the lack of merits of his appointment. Since Marcus’s appointment in February, he has been sharply criticized by citizens, lawyers and by both deputy public defenders and their staff, who have written publicly against him, even at the risk of losing their jobs. He has dodged interviews and can’t even defend himself, much less anyone else. The Supes were duped. Hiring David Marcus as chief public defender was a mistake. As his hiring enters the court system, our tax dollars will be used to defend him. He is not worth defending. Marilyn Andrews, Arcata

Bay Trail Update By Dennis Rael

newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

t’s been a long time coming but, just recently, there is great momentum building for the completion of the Humboldt Bay Trail. When complete, this 13-mile section of the California Coastal Trail will run from south Eureka to Arcata along the bay, connecting our two largest population centers with a paved, multimodal path. It will serve as an anchor for a network of adjacent trails, including the Hammond Trail and trails yet-to-be-built. Finally, you will be able to get from Eureka to Arcata (and vice versa) safely on your bike or walking, or pushing a stroller for that matter. The trail will increase road safety, expand recreational opportunities, improve community livability and promote active, healthy transportation. The 6.5-mile Eureka Waterfront Trail

and the Arcata-to-Bracut sections will be completed by fall. Construction funding is secured for all but the “final four” miles from Eureka to Bracut. Design and engineering work is being done now for this section and the county of Humboldt will seek construction funds in 2018. To help make this vision a reality, a Humboldt Bay Trail Fund has been established by local individuals and businesses to support trail stewardship and maintenance. This new fund, held at the Humboldt Area Foundation, is key to attracting state and federal grants for construction of the final 4 miles at a time when grants are getting much more competitive. The fund will help ensure that the trail is welcoming and attractive to members of our own community and out-of-county visitors. It will be used to

support volunteer stewardship efforts, to create a reserve for emergency repairs and to provide trail amenities such as signs and benches. This is a community-driven and managed fund started just a few months ago. As of this week, early trail supporters have raised just over $100,000, thanks to community members and local businesses. We invite you to become a stakeholder in our community trails fund. Not only will this trail provide recreation and be well used by locals, it will be a big draw for folks from outside Humboldt. People are drawn to places with high quality outdoor recreation opportunities and they spend money. (The national outdoor recreation economy contributes $646 billion in spending annually.) The public is invited to get involved and learn more about the Humboldt Bay Trail at the upcoming Trail Summit on Saturday, June 3, from 10 a.m. to noon at the Wharfinger Building in Eureka. Come celebrate our successes to date and gear up for the completion of those final 4 miles of trail. The event kicks off with an open house highlighting local organizations involved in supporting the trail, followed by trail

updates. After the presentations, staff from the city of Eureka will lead a brief walk just outside the door of the Wharfinger to preview the next phase of the Waterfront Trail that’s currently under construction. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more and get involved in making the completion of the Humboldt Bay Trail a reality. If you can’t make it Saturday, you can directly support this effort by going to www.hafoundation.org/humboldtbaytrail. Hope to see you out on the trails soon. l Editor’s note: This piece first appeared as a Community Comment on KINS radio last week.

Let it Burn

Orleans fire symposium highlights need for controlled burns By Will Harling and Malcolm Terence

newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

he challenge for the fifth Klamath Fire Ecology Symposium in Orleans was to leverage changes in national and state fire policy to allow for more prescribed fire and managed wildfires at opportune times in an era that sees wildfires grow harder to control every season. It is a big claim that a little conference in the far flung reaches of Humboldt County can presage changes not just in the Klamath Mountains, but across the West, but the 100-plus attendees, tribal leaders, scientists and agency practitioners from across the country, were ready to share their work and to listen to one another. And by the three-day symposium’s close, state and federal officials had sung the praises of controlled burns and indicated a willingness to move past the suppression-first approach to fire management. During the symposium’s keynote presentation, retired fire ecologist Carl Skinner stressed that fire is returning whether we like it or not, but that how this fire comes back, as the destroyer or the redeemer, really depends on us. Skinner’s presentation, summarizing work with University of California at Berkeley’s Scott Stephens and others incorporating dozens of fire studies from across the Sierra Nevada mountains, showed an unmistakable pattern in fire regimes dating as far back as tree rings could take them with any statistical confidence; about 400-plus years. Four periods emerge from the data. One begins with their earliest samples and ends in the early 1700s. Another stretches from then up to the mid-1800s, and then a third goes until 1911 when the feder-

al Weeks Act marked the onset of our current fire suppression policy. Here, the fire record flatlined for nearly a century, up until present day, when the West seems to be on the precipice of a new fire period: the era of megafires. After researchers looked at all the known climate patterns that might have influenced fire regimes in the Sierras and did not find any relationship to these periods, they began looking at other potential factors. One fit like a glove: periods of settlement that disrupted native communities throughout the region. First it was Spanish settlement in the 1730s, followed by the Gold Rush in the 1840s. Both disrupted the relationship between humans and fire in unique ways. Finally, the death knell for native burning came when Gifford Pinchot, the founder of the U.S. Forest Service, used fire suppression in the wake of the Great Fires of 1910 to justify the existence and growth of his new agency. Skinner and other presenters said that use of fire as a tool is the best hope to maintain and restore the legacy of old growth forests, and the once vast expanses of oak woodlands and grass savannahs that the first Spanish settlers described more than three centuries ago. Skinner’s keynote presentation finished with a clear message:

8 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, June 1, 2017 • northcoastjournal.com

After what may be the last wet winter for a long while, there is no better time for fire managers to consider using managed wildfires in these moderate conditions to begin restoring these historic fire regimes, before the next megafire comes. For Yurok tribal member Margo Robbins, who had presented the day before on the nascent Cultural Fire Management Council, Skinner’s findings were bittersweet. This is what tribal people in the Klamath Mountains have been saying all along: Fire is the most important tool for managing the myriad resources the Yurok, Karuk and Hupa peoples depended on for survival. It is what keeps the world in balance. It is why, as Bill Tripp, with the Karuk Department of Natural Resources, explained in his presentation that the Karuk people lit off the top of Black Mountain outside of Orleans every August, followed by Offield Mountain upriver at Somes Bar on the new moon in September. Ignition in late summer would be an unthinkable act to most people today after a century of fire exclusion. But this ceremonial burning at the landscape scale not only protected the villages of Panámniik and Ka’tim’îin, (the Karuk place names for Orleans and Somes Bar) but also called the salmon up the river by creating a smoke inversion and lowering water

temperatures enough to allow passage to their spawning grounds. This co-learning between traditional knowledge and western science, grounded in practicality by presentations from fire managers, sociologists and economists, has become the hallmark of the Klamath Fire Ecology Symposium since its inception in 1997. The first symposium, organized by local conservation biologist Carlos Carroll, called attention to the short-sighted practices of salvage logging in the wake of high severity wildfires. In 2008, the Mid Klamath Watershed Council, the Karuk Tribe and the U.S. Forest Service Pacific Southwest Research Station collaborated to bring the symposium back as a venue to get all the people holding a piece of the fire puzzle together under one roof in the Klamath Mountains. The symposium has been held every three years since and has consistently attracted esteemed fire ecologists and the most knowledgeable traditional fire managers. This year, Ken Pimlott, the director of CalFire, flew in on a helicopter only minutes before his address to the packed room, a community center cobbled together out of the guts of an old grocery store. In his address, Pimlott, a Humboldt

For those who missed the symposium, the presentations will be posted online in a week or so at https://goo.gl/P21Qq State University graduate, reaffirmed his commitment to significantly increasing CalFire prescribed burning acres and, perhaps more importantly, to increasing their burning with partners. Pimlott’s staff is looking at agreements that could pave the way for sharing both resources and liability in returning good fire, prescribed fire, to the wildland urban interfaces, where communities blend into the forest. U.S. Forest Service Deputy Regional Forester Barnie Gyant followed Pimlott, stressing the importance of fully analyzing the effects of no action, in contrast to kneejerk suppression, in this era of megafires. He acknowledged the importance of embracing managed wildfire as a tool to get ahead of the next wildfire. And it was no accident, he said, that his boss Randy Moore had selected Merv George and Nolan Colegrove, both tribal members and ceremonial leaders, to lead the Six Rivers National Forest. Here in the Six Rivers, an historic agreement between Region 5 and the Nature Conservancy is being used to pilot cross-boundary burning with mixed fire crews between public, private and

tribal lands. On the final day of the symposium, participants toured prescribed burns implemented through the Klamath River Prescribed Fire Training Exchange (TREX), and through a local agreement between the Six Rivers National Forest and the Karuk Tribe. It is one thing to talk about fire but another to walk through a recent burn and see all the life coming back. At the West Simms unit just above Orleans on the edge of a 2013 wildfire that nearly destroyed the town, Forest Service research ecologist Frank Lake, of Karuk descent, led people through an area that, two years before, had seen its first fire in a century. The area had been burned with only a narrow manual fuels treatment, not much more than firefighters building fire lines to suppress wildfires would do, to hold the fire on the perimeter. Fire was the only treatment on the 67-acre interior. This strategy uses burn timing, when the conditions are such that the controlled burn targets the ground and ladder fuels and specific trees in the canopy, while leaving the legacy firs and oaks dating back to the pre-fire suppression era. This approach avoids costly thinning

treatments and is essential in the rugged mountains of the Klamath region, where just putting a human on a hillside, much less with a chainsaw, can be dangerous. It is a demonstration of treatments the Western Klamath Restoration Partnership will begin modelling in the coming years at a much larger scale just upriver in the

nearly 6,000-acre Somes Bar Integrated Fire Management Project. That project may become a focal point of the symposium three years from now. The public will be invited, and conference organizers remind that it is up to everyone Continued on next page »

to bring good fire, the redemptive fire of people learning to live in place again, back to the Klamath Mountains and throughout the West. The fire knowledge shared at this year’s Klamath Fire Ecology Symposium, both in presentations and the hum of conversation, was deep and broad, tying together the social, cultural, ecological and economic threads of fire into a clear vision for the future of fire management. As the crowd walked along the edge of an old meadow reappearing out of the thicket as the symposium drew to a close, they noted signs of elk, scat and nibbled foliage, which locals said had long been

absent. The small stream meandering through the meadow, denuded immediately after the burn, was now covered with a mat of Indian tea (Yerba Buena), and chain fern, iris, huckleberry, azalea and hazel. “As a practitioner, as someone who gathers for ceremony and to feed my family, as a hunter, I walk through here and it just makes my heart happy,” Lake said. l Will Harling is director of the Mid Klamath Watershed Council.

Follow the Money By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

hile hitting the bong might make it harder for you to remember where you put your keys, it may make it easier for grandma to find hers, according to a new study. The study, published in the journal Nature Medicine, found that the psychoactive compound in marijuana, THC, may reverse brain aging and restore learning ability when given in consistent, low doses. Andreas Zimmer, who led the study with scientists from the University of Bonn in Germany, noticed that genetic mutations in mice that prevented their endocannabinoid systems from working property aged faster and exhibited more cognitive decline. What, Zimmer wondered, would happen if the opposite had happened and the mice’s endocannabinoid systems were stimulated? Zimmer’s team then took middle-aged and elderly mice and gave them regular doses of low amounts of THC before testing their cognitive performance against that of young mice. They performed just as well and the research further indicated the stoned mice showed evidence of an increase in brain cell connections in the hippocampus, the part of the medial temporal lobe involved in emotions, learning and memory formation. “We repeated these experiments many times,” Zimmer told New Scientist. “It’s a very robust and profound effect.” While the research is obviously in its infancy and there’s no telling whether it would carry over to human patients, the hope is it may eventually lead to new treatments for dementia and Alzheimer’s. And it’s not the first to indicate cannabis could help battle cognitive decline. More than a decade ago, in 2006, Kim Janda, a chemistry professor at Scripps Research Institute, published a study showing that THC inhibits cerebral amyloid deposits from forming in the walls of blood vessels in the central nervous system, diminishing cognitive functions. Janda’s study found that THC seems more effective than other drugs in fighting the forming of amyloid deposits. With 5.3 million Americans living with

Alzheimer’s disease, the sixth leading cause of death in America, according to the Centers for Disease Control — and 16 million expected to be diagnosed by 2050 — it’s fair to ask why researchers aren’t falling all over themselves to study this. Well, that stems back to the federal Controlled Substances Act and its classification of marijuana as a Schedule 1 narcotic meaning that, in federal eyes, it has no medical value, making it extremely difficult for researchers to get waivers to do controlled studies within the United States. But — with research like this, as well as other studies linking marijuana to everything from reduced rates of opioid abuse to lower instances of diabetes — isn’t it time for Congress to green light research? What could be holding it back? Well, there’s surely still the Reefer Madness sect — with one Jefferson Beauregard Sessions leading the charge — but they seem to be grossly outnumbered. After all, Congress has included a prohibition against the justice department cracking down on state legal weed. There’s an old adage in both journalism and criminal investigations: Follow the money. To that end, a report released this week by New Frontier Data found that if the federal government legalized medical marijuana for ailments like chronic pain, seizures and anxiety, it could result in a more than $4 billion annual loss for the U.S. pharmaceutical industry. What does that have to do with Congress? Glad you asked. According to Opensecrets.org, the average congressional candidate received more than $30,000 in campaign contributions from the pharmaceutical industry in 2016. And that’s to say nothing of the roughly $250 million the industry spent on lobbying efforts last year. Hate to be cynical, but it seems Big Cannabis has some work to do if it wants a seat at the table. And if you want to help grandma find her car keys, you might have to help find her wallet first. l Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor.

SWEPT

The city of Eureka’s multi-year effort to clear the PalCo Marsh homeless camp, amid infighting and public backlash By Linda Stansberry linda@northcoastjournal.com

Editor’s note: This is the second in a two-part series. Part one, “Prelude to a Sweep,” ran May 25.

he problem was complicated. Several hundred people were living in tents in an entrenched community behind Eureka’s Bayshore Mall, in a blighted wetland called the PalCo Marsh. The city was prepared to embrace a Housing First strategy to address its high rate of chronic homelessness, but this was a years-long solution and, prompted by a lawsuit and the deadline to break ground on a new trail, with hundreds of thousands of dollars of grant funding on the line, it became clear in 2015 that the PalCo Marsh encampment had to move. But how to achieve that task, and where, exactly, the estimated 300 people — some of whom had been there for decades — would go, would take more than a year to decide. It was a year marked by bureaucratic indecisiveness and bickering between city employees about who was meant to shoulder the monumental task. The problem was complicated because, at the end of the day, it was about people, and people are complicated. Miles Slattery,

the city’s Parks and Recreation director, knew this. His staff was tasked with cleaning and maintaining the city’s greenbelts, and the presence of illegal camps made it increasingly difficult. One man waved a gun at him and said, “get off my land.” Another set a dog on a city worker. Interpretive signs were vandalized. In emails obtained by the Journal through a public records act request, Slattery would refer to a sense of entitlement among some people in the marsh and express frustration that city land was being treated like private property, and being trashed. But Slattery also knew the population wasn’t a monolith. He gave a girl who said she’d been raped a ride out of the marsh. He offered jobs to people who wanted to work, eventually starting a job training program for parolees. He launched a program to offer homeless children free access to recreational programs. His job, and his department, grew and developed around the extraordinary task facing the city. But it couldn’t do everything. It couldn’t, for example, help someone like Kathleen Hytholt, a middle-aged woman

who in February of 2015 was asked to leave a piece of public property near the Humboldt County Office of Education. What city resources were available for someone like Hytholt, who could barely walk and lived surrounded by a mix of trash and treasured possessions? As officers talked to her and a Sheriff’s Work Alternative Program crew stood by to eradicate her camp, Hytholt cried. She had no car, no income, no one to take her in. To help solve a problem like Hytholt, you’d have to solve the underlying issues causing her homelessness, and that was beyond the calling of city employees. Slattery said he was consistent: It was his team’s job to maintain city property, the job of the police department was to enforce the municipal code forbidding camping. Like Slattery, Andrew Mills, who became the city’s chief of police in 2014, also found his department’s role tested and changed under the weight of the task. Along with citing people for camping illegally, breaking up fights or responding to shoplifting reports at the Bayshore Mall, officers also served as pinch-hitter social workers to the mentally ill and chronically indigent. Mixed in and overlapping with this population are seasonal workers in the marijuana industry, or “trimmigrants,” addicts and people Mills simply refers to as “predatory.” Mills says officers can find “30 to 40 percent” of their day eaten up by responding to issues related to homelessness. “It has become the overwhelming part of the responsibility,” Mills said in

a retrospective interview. “It hurts the city because so much time is spent with homeless stuff … there’s nobody else out there to take care of that issue.” On a daily basis, EPD officers contacted people like Lloyd Parker, a professional carpenter who became homeless in 2013 when his wife died, and who testified that the marsh “felt like home to him.” Parker’s name would periodically show up in arrest sheets and he would also go on to become a plaintiff in the federal lawsuit aimed at halting the city’s May 2, 2016, marsh evictions. As part of the city’s settlement, he was offered housing but was listed as homeless two months later when arrested for allegedly burglarizing the Humboldt Waste Management Authority. Hytholt would go on to be one of the successes of the Mobile Intervention Services Team, a collaboration between the Eureka Police Department and Humboldt Department of Health and Human Services. Her MIST worker stuck with her when she bounced out of the Multiple Assistance Center, helped her get identification and enrolled in general relief. Six months after the SWAP visit, she would have a room in a house and visit the marsh to see her friends with manicured nails and a spotless leather jacket. Parker’s July 2016 arrest was his last by EPD; a MIST officer recently saw him looking much more stable and healthy. Something apparently worked for ParkContinued on next page »

Officers prepare to enter the marsh on May 2, 2016. File er and for Hytholt, but was it the same solution that would work for the several hundred other people living behind the mall — the schizophrenic and addicted, the down-on-their-luck and the predatory, the families and the semi-employed, or the dozens of people EPD said were part of a “hardened criminal element?”

September 2014 - March 2015: Fury, Flood and Fire In the fall of 2014, the city was coming under increased pressure to answer that question. A flurry of emails directed at the city council around that time included rumors of drug use, garbage dumping, human waste, fires and other legal, environmental and humanitarian issues. But alongside the complicated logistics of what it would take to remove the encampment were budgetary concerns and the question of who should shoulder the burden. The onus was on Parks and Recreation to maintain the land and on EPD to patrol it, but neither had the time nor the resources to handle the full scope of those tasks, much less to address the root causes of homelessness in Eureka. In January of 2015, an anonymous county employee threatened to contact the Environmental Protection Agency if an encampment at the foot of Del Norte Street, and its accompanying footprint of human waste, wasn’t addressed. On the night of Feb. 18, a Parks and Recreation employee reported multiple small fires associated with homeless people across the city, including one at City Hall. “Let’s talk to Andy [Mills] when I get back,” replied Slattery. “If this shit isn’t reason to get serious about our illegal

encampments, I don’t know what is.” Both EPD and Parks and Recreation had their budgets cannibalized to pay for Sheriff’s Work Alternative Program crews to clean up illegal encampments. By March of 2015, the tension between the two departments was beginning to spill into everyday interactions. An email from Mills to Slattery offering to buy a beer for whoever in the facilities department could fix EPD’s heating system was met with a snippy reply. “Sure … as soon as you find someone who knows how to get illegal campers off the open spaces we maintain,” fired back Slattery, with a winky emoji. “Easy turbo … [City Manager] Greg [Sparks] asked me to put up 10K for SWAP activities …,” said Mills. Slattery’s tone in his reply was softer, adding that his department had put up $20,000. Mills responded with a crack about the fire department’s plush budget.

April 2015 - July 2015: Creative Solutions Just a few months earlier, Eureka voters had passed a tax extension to help protect public safety spending. But this could not shelter EPD or other agencies from a budget shortfall, announced in April of 2015, that would result in $900,000 in cuts to the police and fire departments. In an op-ed to the Times-Standard, Slattery didn’t come across as entirely sympathetic, saying non-public safety departments had been tightening their belts for years and had “bled and bled and bled.” The budget woes coincided with increased pressure from outside sources. In February of 2015, the city settled a lawsuit

$ 99 brought by Kathy Anderson, a homeless advocate who fell in the old lumber kilns in PalCo Marsh and broke her shoulder, agreeing to pay out $400,000. The settlement drew the attention of the city’s insurance carrier, which threatened to pull the city’s coverage if the “dangerous nuisance” of the kilns wasn’t removed and the area cleared out. On April 15, EPD launched the first phase of a four-part plan, descending on the marsh with 50 officers from seven agencies, contacting 93 people, arresting 27 and confiscating drug paraphernalia, methamphetamines and weapons. The raid, titled “Operation Clean Sweep,” was an effort to remove the “criminal predators [that] have sheltered themselves among the more traditional homeless populations along the bay,” the city explained in a press release. Subsequent stages of the four-part plan would involve connecting those remaining in the marsh with services, moving people into temporary camps while the marsh was cleaned and using the Multiple Assistance Center as a triage facility to connect people with housing. The idea of city-endorsed temporary camps was met with mixed reactions. But emails from Eureka residents to city department heads had a common theme: Not near my house, not near my business. (Potential sites at this point included the Balloon Track property and another near the Samoa Bridge.) The idea of a sanctioned camp on city property, with a nonprofit or city employees running it, had been discussed for years but never gained Continued on next page »

traction. But for Mills, who was faced with the legal and logistical headache of trying to arrest away the problem, the choice was clear. “I can’t kick people out until we have someplace for them to go,” he said at the time. “We fully comprehend homelessness is not a police problem.” Public concern on all sides of the issue began to escalate. In June, a loosely-organized advocacy group, Friends of the Marsh, began serving food and helping people in the marsh collect their garbage for disposal by the city. ↑ The Unitarian Universalist Church tried to coordinate with the city to provide tarps and tents. A photo of a large pile of trash, rimmed by carts, quickly went viral on social media as an example of the environmental devastation caused by the marsh encampments. In a phone call, Slattery confirmed to the Journal that the pile was a combination of consolidated trash from the camps and household trash dumped by people who had breached the fence at the far end of the parking lot. By the end of June, some 10 weeks after it had been announced, Mills’ four-phase plan was dead in the water. Sparks said the temporary camps had been greatly “deprioritized” and effectively removed from the plan. Meanwhile, Slattery had his own strategy and notified department heads in a June 11 email that, due to an official EPA complaint about environmental damage, EPD and Parks and Recreation would collaborate to clean a different section of the area every Thursday. Officers would give 72-hours notice to campers to remove their personal property before SWAP crews would descend to clean what was left. “Having a routine cleanup will alleviate many concerns about supposed ‘harassment,’” wrote Slattery, possibly referring to advocates who saw the sweeps and intermittent cleaning efforts as an intentional disruptor. “It is a program to address our responsibility as a property owner. Those illegally camping on our property will know that every Thursday is the day to remove all personal belongings because the city is coming to clean ;-).” In a later exchange with Sgt. Mike Guy, EPD’s homeless officer, Slattery was more candid about the true intent of the rotating cleanups. Guy, responding to news of the weekly cleanups, wrote to Slattery saying, “So just between you and me, these people get free food, free medical, free dental, free vision, free vet care … and now free garbage pick up?! WTF!” Slattery replied that he “couldn’t agree more,” adding he hoped the disruption

would separate the truly destitute from the entitled. “The liability stuff to me is irrelevant as long as we don’t take sleeping bags, tents and real personal belongings,” he wrote. “I think we need to inconvenience them as much as possible. If we have a weekly presence … some of the ‘I think it’s hip to be homeless’ inbreeds will stick to couch hoppin or move on.”

July 2015: Deadline Extended On July 15, the city announced that those camping in the marsh had 10 days to get out. To bolster the case for eviction, Slattery presented the city council with numbers on the amount of trash collected and photos of vandalized city property. EPD employees gathered statistics on the number of available beds at the Rescue Mission and the criminal history of homeless people contacted by officers. The number of shelter beds available was crucial to make the case that EPD was not rousting people without adequate available shelter, a distinction that could save the city from a potential lawsuit. But three days before the deadline, Mills sent a memo to department heads saying, in no uncertain terms, that his officers would not “forcibly remove people from their tents.” Mills said this was in accordance with legal standards that prevented officers from entering structures without warrants but he also seemed to have a larger concern about the pending eviction.

18 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, June 1, 2017 • northcoastjournal.com

“We are not interested in displacing homeless people,” Mills stated. Looking back, Mills said the eventual success of the May 2016 clean up was due to EPD being allowed to strategize on its own schedule. He declined to comment on the many false starts that preceded that date, but said he was concerned that a wholesale eviction would result in “200 tents on Fifth Street” the next day. Utilizing social service workers to help connect people with resources and housing encouraged “fractured displacement” rather than the wholesale relocation of several hundred people. “I feel like a lot of this fell on my shoulders,” Mills said when asked whether he would change approaches if he had a chance to do it all over again. “It raised a lot of ire. Taking a step back sooner would have been positive.”

August 2015 - October 2015: City Council tries, fails to take a leadership role At the end of August, Slattery emailed department heads to report that his crew was “frustrated” by people not moving their belongings. He was concerned about the liability of “allowing this to continue” and attached a series of photos of trash, shopping carts, “honey pots” (makeshift toilets), needles and 10 marsh rats that had been trapped and “seemed to be prepped for cooking.” Sparks forwarded the email to the council, adding, “EPD has not issued cita-

tions for camping, and I would like to have them start that process for encampments that refuse to move.” Councilmember Melinda Ciarabellini suggested contacting the county to declare a public health emergency. Mills and Slattery also exchanged a series of emails about the legal ramifications of removing people’s property, with Slattery quibbling over federal law and whether it applied to Eureka. “Miles, I have never run to the [City Manager] with problems and have never trashed you,” Mills wrote. “Having a working relationship and collaboration between the departments is a two-way street. The relationship gets strained when you run to CM or to council.” In order to equip the city with more tools to address the issue, and possibly to prod EPD into issuing more citations, Sparks prepared an “open space property management plan,” an ordinance explicitly stating that camping, loose dogs and building materials such as pallets were not allowed. Besides authorizing the Focus Strategies report, this ordinance would mark one of the city’s only attempts, after a year of deferring responsibility to staff, to have the council determine the city’s approach to the marsh. “I think it is critical that council approve this written policy,” Sparks wrote in an email to Ciarabellini. “It then becomes the ‘Council’s Plan,’ rather than having the council react to Andy’s departmental policies and Miles’s cleanup efforts. It will be important to have community support for this at the meeting.” To this end, Rob Holmlund, the city’s

community development director, emailed several constituents who had expressed frustration with the local homeless population and encouraged them to attend the meeting and weigh in on the issue. The Sept. 1 council meeting was one of the most contentious of the year, with passionate debate on all sides during a public comment period that stretched the meeting until 11 p.m. Signs were waved, and comparisons to Nazi Germany drew simultaneous rounds of applause and boos. The council tabled the plan. A couple hours later, Ciarabellini fired off an email to Phillip Crandall — the head of the county Department of Health and Human Services, who’d just returned from vacation — at 12:49 a.m. “Welcome home Phil, to the land of put-your-tent-anywhere-and-we-couldn’tcare-less. I’m so pissed I can’t sleep,” she wrote. “They were confusing our mandate to maintain our city property with solving the homeless problem … I don’t know where this is going, but it’s not good.” Crandall’s reply was noncommittal. In a Sept. 28 email from Holmlund to Sparks and Mills, Holmlund gave his official opinion that the city “has no resources to solve homelessness and we never will.” Suggested solutions to the gap between the number of people without homes and open beds in local shelters — a tiny house village, a tent city — were simply not economically or logistically feasible, he said. “The responsibility for this problem needs to fall exclusively into the hands of the county,” Holmlund wrote. “Accord-

ingly, I recommend that we make and official city policy that the county is responsible for addressing homelessness. I know this will not be a satisfying answer, but … the city has nothing to offer other than handcuffs for criminals.” In the meantime, down in the marsh a series of stabbings and an apparent homicide prompted EPD to begin condensing camps into a smaller space. Officers drew a chalk line on the gravel path adjacent to the rusting train tracks and ordered people camping south of it to move north, closer to Del Norte Street. This smaller area was billed as a “low-enforcement zone,” separating the compliant from the non-compliant, although there was concern from both advocates and people camping there that it would disrupt established communities. Some people felt safer in the outlying areas of the camp, close to the Hikshari’ Trail, and referred to the row of tents next to the tracks as “Heroin Alley.”

October 2015: Defending ‘Open Space’ On Oct. 14, 2015, Sparks emailed department heads to announce that state Sen. Mike McGuire had expressed interest in “helping solve our encampment issues” by helping to get “funding for environmental restoration in the waterfront open space.” To accomplish that, Sparks continued, McGuire would like “the city council on record as supporting that objective.” To this end, Sparks prepared a revised Open Space Property Management Plan, which — thanks partially to a desire expressed by Councilmember Kim Bergel to set a definitive end date and the support of constituents contacted by Councilmember Marian Brady — passed the next week. The new plan did little to ease tensions between city employees, however, as exemplified by yet another exchange between Slattery and Mills on Oct. 29, in which Slattery accused the police chief of not being supportive of his staff ’s safety concerns. “There is a sense of ownership and entitlement for those in the area,” wrote Slattery. “Especially the delusional tweakers who seem to think they own their plots. This is what’s causing the problem because when staff enter their property, they feel they have the right to protect their property.”

Mills responded that both he and his staff had been out there often and that he was sympathetic to the challenges, but had to prioritize calls for service. He offered to send an undercover officer along with Parks and Recreation staff and “if there is a crime, hook em right then to send a message.” Slattery was unimpressed, saying the situation was “extremely frustrating.” “Do not take my willingness to work with you as weakness,” Mills shot back. “EPD is also busting its ass … you criticize the ‘pigs’ and mustaches and think P&R is underfunded and carrying all the water. … If you want my support you got it. If you want to pick a fight over this … bust out the boxing gloves.”

January 2016 - March 2016: A Deadline Looms By January, tensions were flaring across all levels of city government, with Councilmember Linda Atkins visibly losing her temper in a Jan. 5 meeting and accusing staff of being unresponsive to her requests to agendize a shelter crisis declaration. While the declaration, as eventually approved later that month, would not exactly bring to bear the dreaded “sanctioned camp,” it did create a new set of tools for the city by relaxing some zoning restrictions for emergency shelters. The shelter crisis and the accompa-

nying specter of a potential sanctuary camp was unwelcome news to Slattery, who on Jan. 15 received an email from a major grant funder, the state Coastal Conservancy, indicating it would like a “better idea of where the city of Eureka is heading with regards to the homeless issues” before it committed to funding a portion of the Waterfront Trail through the PalCo Marsh. Reports had been coming in that people felt uncomfortable on the Hikshari’, and the conservancy was “reluctant” to fund future segments of trail that the public would be reluctant to use because of homeless people. Slattery’s very long reply suggested that the anecdotal reports the conservancy had heard were “unfounded” and that the city was being “proactive” about eliminating encampments while preparing to complete the trail. In a later email to EPD Capt. Steve Watson, Mills and Sparks, Slattery was blunt. “The writing is on the wall, as within a couple months this will be a construction area,” he wrote. “It will need to be a zero tolerance zone whether we like it or not. The alternative is to relinquish 1.5 million dollars in construction funding. If that is the direction we intend to go in, then please let me know. I will need to notify the funding and regulatory agencies.” Rumors of a potential temporary camp would also endanger the fragile alliance between the city of Eureka and the

20 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, June 1, 2017 • northcoastjournal.com

county, whose board of supervisors and city council would meet for a historic joint session in January to discuss implementation of the Focus Strategies plan. Supervisor Ryan Sundberg raised it as a potential stumbling block during discussions, and made clear the PalCo Marsh was a Eureka problem. Holmlund said the city had not allocated any funds toward a sanctioned camp, which would have violated Focus Strategies’ recommendations. In a March 6 email to Bergel, Slattery attempted to dissuade her from revisiting the sanctuary camp idea, saying it would just be “kicking the can down the road.” The city and county would go on to pass a joint resolution to collaborate on a Housing First strategy. In the meantime, Mills would reach out to several different lawyers, locally and in other parts of the state, to seek opinions on whether a mass eviction would result in legal liability for the city. Slattery would apply for an award for his department’s work providing recreational activities for homeless children.

March 22, 2016 - Present: An Exit Plan and Its Aftermath On March 22, the city announced a definitive vacation date: May 2. It also began soliciting proposals from any entities interested in creating some sort of sanctioned camp for the soon-to-be displaced. It set the bar high: Interested

parties would need a proven history of working with the population and hefty liability insurance, and the city was unwilling to contribute funds. This was in line with suggestions from city staff, including Mills, who wrote in an email to Sparks that he honestly didn’t believe a nonprofit would step forward. Mills added that he didn’t think the city should be in the position “where we are kicking homeless people out for a trail” and that he feared a lawsuit if that were the case. But the city pushed forward. On May 2, things went smoothly. Reporters and clergy milled about as police executed a tactical plan, visiting the remaining camps and standing by as people packed things into strollers and bike carts. Fumes from a trash fire wafted over the exodus. Some would go to rotating temporary sleeping areas established by the city in several local parking lots. Some would go to a village of converted shipping containers across from St. Vincent DePaul, a surprise development organized by Betty Chinn and the Humboldt Coalition for Property Rights, and made possible by the shelter crisis declaration. Slattery would spend several hours negotiating with Lloyd Parker, the last to leave the marsh, over an enormous cache of property Parker did not want to abandon. Rather than storing it, Slattery agreed to buy it, despite suspicions that some of

the stuff was actually stolen city property. Parker wanted $3,000 for the lot, Slattery bargained him down to $900, then sent much of it to a scrap metal recycler. Despite his extensive efforts to avoid litigation, Mills would be the sole city representative named in the federal lawsuit filed by attorney Peter Martin on behalf of the PalCo Marsh campers, which remains pending. In his one-year retrospective interview, Slattery said he found this unfair. “EPD’s been solid,” he said, adding he had “nothing but respect” for Mills. “Andy is very compassionate.” Slattery said the amount of blame heaped on Eureka for the homeless problem is also unfair. Homeless camps are a fact of life in all parts of the county, and Eureka had done the most, by far, he said, to offer services to the destitute. Yet it’s the one getting sued. As feared by many, a spike in crime and calls for police service in other parts of the city, including Old Town and the area around St. Vincent DePaul, followed the marsh evictions. The downtown homeless population would increase. Between March and April of 2016, EPD logged 56 total calls for service in the eight blocks around St. Vincent DePaul, where business owners now complain of many people camping, loitering and urinating. In the same time period for 2017, EPD fielded 95 such calls, a 70 percent increase. Shoplifting reports at the Bayshore Mall, however,

have halved. Business owners in the St. Vincent DePaul area called a meeting last month to complain about an increase in theft, vandalism and camping. Once again, there are rumors of a lawsuit. In August, the city, in collaboration with the county, launched a plan to house 30 people in 60 days, the first goal of their Housing First program. They met their deadline a month early, and have yet to announce a new goal. One year after the eviction, following a severe winter, it would be hard to imagine how anyone could have lived in many areas of the marsh, which, thanks to reconstructive work, have filled with water. There are still remains of campfires, the odd tarp and broken bike, evidence that there are still people living there. On the one-year anniversary of the eviction, Bergel attended an informal barbecue hosted by previous “Devil’s Playground” dwellers. According to Slattery, some city staff were also invited but didn’t attend. Next to the new trail, which is graveled with concrete from the crushed lumber kilns, another interpretive sign had been graffitied. “Always our playground,” it said. l Linda Stansberry is a staff writer at the Journal.

Rock Rock By Andy Powell

thesetlist@northcoastjournal.com

here did “Southern Rock” come from? The easiest answer is “The South” but you already knew that. Things get a bit more complicated after that. With a measure of the blues (from the South), early rock ‘n’ roll (built off the simplicity of the blues) and country music, Southern Rock has mutated and changed over the decades leaving a wide gulf between folks like Lonnie Mack and let’s say, Kid Rock. However, let’s leave trying to pinpoint what Southern Rock really is and how “The War of Northern Aggression” influenced the lyrical content of Southern writing. Let’s mention another musical giant we lost recently and one that I think all could agree had a huge influence on shaping whatever Southern Rock is, although he loathed to call it as such: Gregg LeNoir Allman. When I first heard them on the radio, The Allman Brothers Band’s sound seemed woven into the L.A./S.F./ N.Y.C./London rock I was used to, while also having a distinct element to it. Similar to my discovery that Creedence Clearwater Revival members didn’t actually live in a swamp (El Cerrito, California, in fact), discovering that these long-haired hippy jammers were from someplace named Macon in Georgia started to make sense. They could pull off the S.F. psychedelic long jams a la The Dead, they had the technical chops to blend jazz into their tunes, gospel was no stranger to them and they weren’t afraid to get down to acoustics and sing about rivers and birds and remind us that “love is everywhere.” Gregg Allman provided the muscled backdrop to many of the songs and had a voice that by all accounts shouldn’t have been in his body. Along with the Allman’s music, Gregg’s voice could hint at pain and suffering but easily yield to weightless hope and joyousness in the middle of a phrase. I think that’s a huge part of what kept the Allman audience enrap-

tured decade after decade. You could hear the music in the sunshine on the banks of a river, or in the Fillmore East and be equally compelled to dance and smile and celebrate. Go back and celebrate with Gregg’s music and raise a glass to the memory of another brother gone.

Thursday You’ve got some folky options to get your weekend started off early. The Mad River Brewery Tap room has Fingal returning with its fiddle-based tunes starting off around 6 p.m. for this free gig. Feel free to bring the kids out to this one and maybe leave your dog at home, unless it drinks beer. One hour later, Joel Sonenshein — of Humboldt Folklife fame — will be hosting the Humboldt Folklife Society Sing-Along at the Arcata Community Center where you can “sing your favorite folk, rock and pop songs ... songbooks provided, just bring your voice.” I think this one’s free as well, and remember, Joel can’t say no to a Beatles song. See if the group is up for “It’s All Too Much.” Savannah based reggae-rockers Passafire are stopping by Humboldt Brews tonight at 9:30 p.m. They released their album, Longshot earlier this year so expect to hear cuts from that. A good title on its own, the band settled on the name for that album after hearing repeatedly how making it in music these days is such a long shot. As the band is almost constantly on the road, it seemed like a fitting tongue-in-cheek nod to their lives. Help these road warriors make the long shot with your $15 ticket.

Friday The funky and fiery jazz improv of Ultra Secret is on tap at 6 p.m. at the Mad River Brewery Tap Room. Sip on some John Barleycorn while the band weaves in and out of its jams. It’s a free show — as all MRB shows are — but feel free to show the band your appreciation whether by

tips or raucous applause. My reggae-inclined friends have been mentioning a show at the Sapphire Palace tonight in the Blue Lake Casino and Hotel. Dual Italian and Jamaican roots-reggae artist Alborosie and The Shengen Clan are hitting the big stage at 9 p.m. with some songs from last year’s Freedom & Fyah. Grab your $35 tickets early, as this will be a packed show. Also at 9 p.m. will be local rock n’ roll band The Movers and the Shakers playing on the Palm Lounge stage for free.

Saturday

It’s the 41st annual Summer Arts and Music Festival happening at Redway’s Mateel Community Center hosting more than 70 “of the best local and regional bands, dance troupes and children’s entertainers.” I don’t have the word count — or mental capacity — to list all the artists on the bill, but scroll the list, which includes reggae dub band Easy Star All Stars, Latin fusion from Locos Por Juana, Americana via The Brothers Comatose and a host of locals, at www.mateel.org and be amazed. Locals The Yokels are back at the Mad River Brewery Tap Room at 6 p.m. for a free show. The International Katarzyna Mycka Marimba Academy is teaming up with Marimba One and Humboldt State University to put on a marimba concert series over the next couple days here in Arcata, which should be no surprise as local Marimba One produces some of the most sought after marimbas in the world. The concert series starts tonight at the Arcata Playhouse at 7 p.m. featuring Katarzyna Mycka (Poland), Andreas Boettger (Germany), Jean Geoffroy (France), Juan David Forero (Colombia), Conrado Moya (Spain) and Filip Mercep (Croatia) performing music by Bach, Mussorgsky, Liebowitz and Wirtz. Arts Alive is happening this first Saturday of June in Old Town Eureka, and if you stop in for some fancy beer at the Siren’s Song Tavern, you’ll get to hear

newish local band Echo Rows performing for free. Last time I heard them play, they had a dialed-in rock sound with strong influences of ’90s rock and some concise and well-played guitar leads. Rumor has it that two of the band member’s toddlers may try and check out their dad’s gig. Local lunar-dirge-rockers Strix Vega (myself included) join the 8 p.m. bill.

Sunday

The 41st annual Summer Arts & Music Festival continues along its merry way, as does the International Katarzyna Mycka Marimba Academy Concert Series (let’s just call it IKMMA from now on all right?) which has its performance at HSU’s Van Duzer Theater at 7 p.m. with some solo and chamber works for $15 and I think $10 for HSU students.

Tuesday Local bass shredder Dan “Wookie” Davis will be tearing it up with his roots metal band War Möth this evening at The Siren’s Song Tavern at 7 p.m. They’re hard at work on their debut album, and even though this is a free show, feel free to drop a few quid into the tip jar so these guys don’t need to beg on Kickstarter or something like that. They’re joined by local band Buckshot Possum, who I’m told play “western porch metal” and doom/stoner metal band Wizzerd all the way out from Montana. Throw up the horns and rock on. l 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.

Everything bagel and schmear to go.

Holed Up

Can you make New York bagels in Humboldt? Story and photos by Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

’ve got a lot of feelings about bagels. They came home in paper bags on my mother’s commute home from New York City: glossy pumpernickel, onion, poppy. When she moved to the city, we got them hot at Tal Bagels, the shop around the corner. In college she sent them to me FedEx in California because while I was seldom homesick, I was stricken at the big, spongy English muffins with holes that passed for bagels out west. Well-meaning friends took me to a baker’s dozen of places that promised an oldschool bagel. But what I missed seemed unattainable: the chewy, shiny, lightly pebbled crust with just a little crispness, the sound of it in your teeth and the soft give of the interior. Only trips back home kept me from thinking I’d imagined it. Everyone there said it was the water — that you couldn’t replicate a New York bagel elsewhere. The New York Times published a disheartening story that concluded it was the lure of invention and disinterest in apprenticeship that kept California bakers from getting it right. It’s not snobbery. Eat a slick, watery Florida avocado and tell me if it’s the same creamy miracle we take for granted in California. My disappointments turned me into a bitter bagel purist. When I see blue-

berry bagels, I recoil. Like the day-glow skin of poisonous frogs, non-traditional flavors served as a warning: These will only hurt you. Let’s talk about the multicultural elephant in the room. Los Bagels is its own creature, a distinctly Humboldt institution/cult with a mission of inclusion and community that I respect. You can’t fight organic flour, philanthropy or the local devotion to slugs with lox and Larrupin sauce. It’s just not my bagel. And how do we only have one bagel shop? What do people argue about on weekends? A week ago I scanned the Facebook photos from Frankie’s New York Bagels operating out of a commercial kitchen at Redwood Acres Fairgrounds. Beet bagels, bright as Amazonian frogs. Shit. But hope is a stubborn thing. Tucked behind the Turf Club in a 10-by20-foot kitchen reminiscent of the New York real estate market, Frankie Ambrosini shuttles a tray of bagels to the stove for boiling. The 34-year-old transplant from Rochester, New York, wears a black Frankie’s ball cap over her cropped hair; tattoos of birds and leaves swirl up her arms. One by one, she drops the thick loops of Continued on next page »

Team Frankie’s: Felicia and Frankie Ambrosini, and Mia Acosta. dough into a stockpot and hits the timer. A minute later she’s pulling them back out to sprinkle with toasted onion flakes. Her recipe took about two years of experimentation at home, at first with no other mission than to make the bagels she longed for since coming to Humboldt eight years ago. That and killing some insomnia-induced free time. “I look back at the pictures and it’s funny because they’re really bad,” says Ambrosini with a wrinkle of her nose. She uses traditional malt and Collett’s Humboldt Honey in a process that takes about 15 hours from sponge to slicing. Developing a hand for forming the rings took time (who knew?) but the crust was the toughest part to nail. It was only after she had it down that she considered going pro. She offers me a jalapeño cheese bagel and it’s possible I flinch visibly. So I come clean about my reservations. Ambrosini shrugs. “We’re in California, so we can play around and experiment. I don’t know if people in New York would appreciate it.” But the non-traditional flavors (blackberry Nutella, black lava salt, those beet bagels and — sweet mother of cream cheese — s’mores) sell out fast. “A lot of people come in and are really irritated by my experimental bagels and I get it. But that’s what people want. And I’m always going to have the classics.” Fair enough. She and her team — just herself, her wife Felicia and Mia Acosta today — crank out 40 or so batches a day, including varieties like everything (with the ingredients added separately to keep the flavors from blurring and the salt from breaking down) and egg, which, along with dusty bialys, are a

blast from the past. And she’s working on pumpernickel. “Gimme time,” she says. That seems to be enough for the East Coast crowd that comes by on weekends during retail hours from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The rest of the week you can get them at Kneeland Glen Farm Stand, Northtown Coffee and the Beachcomber, and Siren’s Song Tavern and Humboldt Cider Company Taproom are serving up bar food offerings like bagel dogs (with dogs from Ambrosini’s hometown, no less) and bites with cheese sauce. When the everything bagels are finally cool enough to handle, she slices one and gives it a schmear of plain cream cheese for me. It’s glorious. It is, at long last, the soft, chewy and delicately crusty bagel of home. Everybody shut up — I am having a moment here. Ambrosini pulls a tray of bagels out of the oven and rotates them; it’s not a traditional recipe thing, just something she has to do until she gets a better oven. “That’s hot, sweetie,” she warns as Felicia squeezes by for another tray. As much as Frankie Ambrosini loves the space, it’s a little tight. She’s already dreaming of a “bagel garden” serving mimosas. And dream she does. “Ever since I started this business,” she says, “when I sleep, I sleep.” ● Jennifer Fumiko Cahill is the arts and features editor at the North Coast Journal.

Open Season

Planning your tour of North Coast Open Studios By Gabrielle Gopinath artbeat@northcoastjournal.com

hen you visit a studio or a shared exhibition space, you’re often able to interact directly with the artist. The resultant possibilities abound. You might meet an established artist you’ve admired or meet an emerging talent. You could get dibs on new pieces before they appear in local galleries or see the workspace where the vase/necklace/ live-edge table you’ve been coveting was created, or chat with a favorite artist and maybe ask that person a question about the process. Encounters with art on its native turf in the company of the person who made it may be many things, but they are rarely boring. This weekend, artists from Trinidad to Rio Dell will be opening their studios to visitors and buyers as part of the 19th renewal of North Coast Open Studios. The two-weekend event kicks off this Friday evening. With some 140 participating artists and only 31 hours in which to do it all, you’ll need to strategize your itinerary. Get a handle on the bounty with one of these approaches:

Bingo Artists in the Pacific Northwest tend to haunt wild places. This has been true in the past and it remains true now. Those participating in this year’s event come from some of the county’s more remote districts, as well as the Eu-cata metropolitan corridor. Event organizers are urging attendees to cope with the geography by playing bingo, matching categories like wood, animation, collage and wearables with locations like McKinleyville, Ferndale and Indianola/Bayside.

Big Data The handy event website lets users search participating artists and use tags to target results; criteria include medium (e.g. sculpture, jewelry), utility (functional, wearable), the art’s potential for motion

(kinetic) and the event’s potential for liquid refreshment (beverage). If you’ve been searching for, say, that elusive wearable collage that will also wet the whistle in a pinch, this should help narrow things down.

Fat Chance Meditate. Transpose the numbers given to participating artists in the 2017 Visitor’s Guide into a hexagram sequence. Consult the I Ching to determine the appropriate order for studio visits. Warning: This strategy may not optimize mileage. With so many participating artists, there is surely something for everyone. If you like storytelling, check out the dreamy, densely inked narratives in Julie McNiel’s drawings, paintings and animation cells, which layer observation, memory, life experience and legend into a palimpsest with distinctive Pacific Northwest features. Fans of contemporary landscape are spoiled for choice, with options ranging from Kathy O’Leary’s bright, deftly handled plein-air studies of subjects like Mount Lassen, Humboldt Hill and the Freshwater Slough to Stock Schlueter’s luminous marsh and bottomland views. If you appreciate old-time American music and bluegrass, head to Blue Lake and check out Colin Vance’s handmade banjos with inlay — “playable musical pieces of art,” he calls them. One dark banjo features a delicately rendered dinosaur skull inlaid in bone-colored wood at the base of the neck, where a human might sport a tattoo. For those who like to multitask: Dave Reagan, who makes kinetic works, mixed media pieces and sculpture in his Manila studio, promises the possibly unbeatable combination of a backyard sculpture garden and an indoor miniature golf emporium. Those who can’t decide whether to look at art or surf don’t necessarily have to choose. Matt Beard will be parked at the Trinidad State Beach parking lot during the event’s second weekend, selling surf paintings out of a large white Sprinter van that’s “parked with a view to the ocean — dog friendly, too.” Feeling gritty, yet lyrical? There’s a piece of wearable art for that. In addition to coordinating the Open Studios event for a fourth successive year, jewelry designer and arts administrator Monica Topping will be opening her studio by appointment, showing bracelets, necklaces, earrings and hair clips made from repurposed materials like guitar strings, record jackets and twisted copper under her Rock Chick Designs imprint. In addition to individual artists’ studios

like the ones mentioned above, the roster features collective exhibits organized by some of the area’s most established artists’ groups and a few creative upstarts. The Samoa Women’s Club will feature work by a bevy of artists in media including photography, watercolor, hand-painted silk, manga-inspired digital renderings and ceramics. Arcata’s Fire Arts Center will be displaying a selection of glass and ceramic pieces made by members. At the Boys’ and Girls’ Club of the Redwoods in Eureka, “Pictures Drawn by Youth” will merit a visit, judging from the caliber of drawings by its young artists that appear in the visitor’s guide. Mind’s Eye Manufactory in Ferndale will be showing photography, ceramics, prints and wooden sculpture, in addition to examples of the bespoke skin-on-frame kayaks that space co-founder Marc Daniels builds in a traditional Aleutian style under the name True North Boats. If the Kinetic Grand Championship this past weekend left you thirsting for more glory, you’re in luck — the Kinetic Museum Eureka will be showing vintage kinetic sculpture racing machines, photographs and ephemera dating back to the race’s 1969 origin. l The North Coast Open Studios Art Night begins with a preview Friday, June 2, from 6-9 p.m., continuing on Saturday and Sunday, June 3-4 and 10-11, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission to all venues is free. The event takes place at numerous locations — see the 2017 Visitor’s Guide, free at area locations, and www.humboldt. northcoastopenstudios. com for details.

Filmland Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron watching people eat carbs from a safe distance. Baywatch

Swim at Your Own Risk Baywatch and Pirates hit seabed By John J. Bennett

filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

BAYWATCH. Who, really, is to blame when something terrible like this happens? And I say “to blame” rather than “responsible” because there are a great number of responsible parties, from grips to craft services, who share in the responsibility of bringing a movie to the screen. And despite their pivotal role in the collaborative art/commerce of the cinema, they simply cannot be blamed for the cascading creative missteps that led to … this. I’d hesitate to call out the cast, who starved themselves and adhered to a doubtlessly grueling fitness regime so they could appear, alternately jacked, svelte and mildly buxom in their low-cut, foreshortened beach wear costumes. And besides, Dwayne Johnson seems so charming, so hardworking and personable — an Everyman’s Islander Superman — how could it be his fault? Tempting, then, to look to the writers; they must be at fault. But to read the credits, too many of them had their hands on the thing for it to be the real result of any person’s imagination. From its TV

origins, through its uncounted drafts and revisions in Hollywood development, this script, like so many, is more a product of excision and reaction than it is a written work. So do we blame the director? Seth Gordon came to prominence with the artful, compelling documentary The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (2007). Starting with the modest notion of a regular guy attempting to set a world record high score for Donkey Kong, it expands into a fascinating nerdscape populated by larger-than- life characters and high drama. Unarguably entertaining stuff, it showcases Gordon’s ability to find the center of a story and build around it. He seems to have a rougher time of it when working within the narrative form: Horrible Bosses (2011) and Identity Thief (2013) are both almost saved by the force of personality of their casts, but don’t have that certain quality of connecting disparate, live-wire elements into the type of comedy that snaps and pulses on screen. Even if Gordon hasn’t made any classics, his movies have been mostly serviceable. And while this certainly isn’t his best work, I’ve seen worse direction produce better movies. Moving up the ladder, it would easy to say this is strictly a product of corporate boardroom strategy, strictly a money making gambit that, fortunately, seems to have failed. I don’t think it would wrong to posit this argument: Baywatch is clearly the product of “group-think,” engineered to get broad laughs and break the box office. Really though, it’s our fault. Baywatch was, inexplicably, an enormously successful show. Despite the fact

that I don’t think I’ve ever watched one start-to-finish, it ran for over 250 episodes, all of them re-run ad infinitum in syndication purgatory. It made many people rich and, I assume, a great many more happy as viewers. It created a narrative framework wherein mostly fit Hollywood people could appear almost exclusively in swimsuits for the duration of their screen-time. It’s a show about the beach; what’s not to like? And for those of us too cynical to simply enjoy simple pleasures, there was the promise, suggested so many months ago, that the movie version, some 20 years on, would be a satirical, hard-R action comedy riff on the original? Seems promising, right? Something for everyone, right? Self-referential eye-candy with a grown-up sense of humor? Sure! Well, we are prisoners of our own design. The Baywatch series was an earnest, low-production value, soft-focus drama with some pretension to adventure. But people love it, to this day. And those people would likely find very little to love about the movie. Those of us looking for comedy with some bite and commentary were deluding ourselves to think this would be the vehicle. This is an adaptation that serves neither its source material nor its intended re-imagining, a product of perceived demand and an audience’s voracious appetite for smarm, plus our infatuation with stars and ostensibly de-sexualized nudity. It has nothing new to say narratively, curses like a sailor without purpose and relies on a cadaver penis for its biggest set-piece joke. It could be called a tragic allegory and it is probably just what we deserve. R. 116M. BROADWAY, FORTUNA, MILL CREEK.

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES. So everything that I would say is wrong with Baywatch is even more wrong here. If pressed, I would admit that I have probably seen the first Pirates, but I have no recollection of it. (Even back then, it struck me as cynical to transform a beloved children’s amusement into a tent-pole). And, with the passage of a few months, I will likely and hopefully have as faint a memory of this protracted, centerless, clattering, splashy mess. Johnny Depp is back as Jack Sparrow, etc. The highlight/only saving grace of the whole affair is Javier Bardem’s Captain Salazar, a marauding anti-pirate doomed to the depths with his crew by an ancient curse. Bardem is customarily dynamic and weird as the antagonist, but the lumbering, over-complicated narrative does him no favors. (Why, for example, would the ghost crew of a ghost ship keep ghost sharks — somehow in suspended animation — in the hold? Why would those sharks return to life to do the bidding of said crew? Supernatural pecking order, we are to assume.) The charm of Depp’s performance has diminished over time, though to his credit he still knows how to command the frame. There is little else to recommend this. PG13. 129M. BROADWAY, FORTUNA, MILL CREEK, MINOR.

NOTICE OF PROPERTY TAX DELINQUENCY AND IMPENDING DEFAULT

Revenue and Taxation Code Section 3351, 3352 I, John Bartholomew, Humboldt County Tax Collector, State of California, certify as follows: That at close of business on June 30, 2017 by operation of law, any real property (unless previously tax-defaulted and not redeemed) that have any delinquent taxes, assessments, or other charges levied for the fiscal year 20162017, and/or any delinquent supplemental taxes levied prior to the fiscal year 2016-2017 shall be declared tax-defaulted. That unless the tax defaulted property is completely redeemed through payment of all unpaid amounts, together with penalties and fees prescribed by law or an installment plan is initiated and maintained; the property may be sold subsequently at a tax sale to satisfy the tax lien. That a detailed list of all properties remaining tax-defaulted at the close of business on June 30, 2017, and not redeemed prior to being submitted for publication, shall be published on or before September 8, 2017 That information concerning redemption or the initiation of an installment plan of redemption of tax-defaulted property will be furnished, upon request, by John Bartholomew, Humboldt County Tax Collector at 825 5th Street, Room 125, Eureka, California 95501 (707)476-2450. I certify or (declare), under penalty of perjury, that the foregoing is true and correct.

Executed at Eureka, Humboldt County, California, on May 15th, 2017. Published in the North Coast Journal on May 18th, May 25th, and June 1st, 2017.

NOTICE OF IMPENDING POWER TO SELL TAX-DEFAULTED PROPERTY

Revenue and Taxation Code Section 3361, 3362 Pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code 3691 and 3692.4, the following conditions will, by operation of law, subject real property to the Tax Collector’s power to sell. 1) All property for which property taxes and assessments have been in default for five or more years. Note: The power to sell schedule for nonresidential commercial property is three or more years of tax-defaulted status, unless the county adopts, by ordinance or resolution, the five-year tax default schedule. 2) All property that has a nuisance abatement lien recorded against it and for which property taxes and assessments have been in default for three or more years. 3) Any property that has been identified and requested for purchase by a city, county, city and county or nonprofit organization to serve the public benefit by providing housing or services directly related to low-income persons and for which property taxes and assessments have been in default for three or more years. The parcels listed herein meet one or more of the criteria listed above and thus, will become subject to the Tax Collector’s power to sell on July 1, 2017, at 12:01 a.m., by operation of law. The Tax Collector’s power to sell will arise unless the property is either redeemed or made subject to an installment plan of redemption initiated as provided by law prior to close of business on the last business day in June. The right to an installment plan terminates on the last business day in June, and after that date the entire balance due must be paid in full to prevent sale of the property at public auction. The right of redemption survives the property becoming subject to the power to sell, but it terminates at close of business on the last business day prior to the date of the sale by the Tax Collector. All information concerning redemption or the initiation of an installment plan of redemption will be furnished, upon request, by John Bartholomew, Humboldt County Tax Collector, 825 5th Street, Room 125, Eureka, CA 95501, (707)476-2450. The amount to redeem, including all penalties and fees, as of June 2017, is shown opposite the assessment/parcel number and next to the name of the assessee.

PARCEL NUMBERING SYSTEM EXPLANATION

The Assessor’s Parcel/Assessment Number (APN/ASMT), when used to describe property in this list, refers to the Assessor’s map book, the map page, the block on the map, if applicable, and the individual parcel on the map page or in the block. The Assessor’s maps and further explanation of the parcel numbering system are available in the Assessor’s office.

The Cutten Chalet

The Chalet has expanded! The restaurant that everyone knows and loves is now open in Cutten. Current owner, Bill Tuttle, has been eying the Cutten area since he took over the business in 2000. The Cutten Chalet, the old Cutten Inn, took three years to renovate and is now open serving all of your Chalet favorites plus many new dishes. “I see this Chalet as a neighborhood restaurant. We are currently only open till 3pm, but I am hoping to expand to dinners soon,” explains

Bill. “I would also love to have community BBQ’s and gatherings. We are hoping to create the same memories as the downtown location here in Cutten and we are all pretty excited about it.” The Cutten Chalet is located at 3980 Walnut Drive in Cutten. They are currently open 6am-3pm, seven days a week. Bill and the crew at The Cutten Chalet would like to thank Murphy’s for all of their support and for always being the best local market.
