Featuring Sue Moore

Sue Moore and her husband Jim moved to Humboldt County in 2008, leaving behind the congestion and heat of San Diego. Drawn to the foggy weather and open spaces, they settled into their new community and made Murphy’s Markets their first stop on day one. Since then, it’s been their go-to grocery store. For Sue, Murphy’s feels like home. The store reminds her of the mom-and-pop shops she grew up with in the U.K., offering a friendly atmosphere and all the products she needs, including a British and Portuguese section. She praises the quality of the meat, produce, and seafood, noting the abundance of organic and local options. Supporting local businesses is important to Sue, and Murphy’s embodies the values that brought her to Humboldt. She admires their support for youth sports and local schools, which strengthens the sense of community she loves. Sue fondly recalls how the staff went above and beyond during the pandemic and the kindness they showed her family dog, Bear, in his final days. For her, Murphy’s isn’t just a store—it’s a place where connections are made. “When you walk in, someone always says ‘Hello.’ That makes all the difference,” Sue says.

After the Memorial

Maybe this is my way of joining the People’s March in Washington that did or didn’t happen today. I couldn’t sleep last night. Perhaps I didn’t realize that percolating under the surface of my consciousness was outrage — about the upcoming inauguration (“Top 10 Stories of 2024,” Dec. 26). That enough people voted to make him president (again) is beyond my comprehension.

A twice impeached president found liable of sexual abuse, found guilty and convicted of 34 felony counts of fraud (and numerous serious crimes that were buried) has successfully proved to be a master of deceit. Don’t they remember what he did the last time? Or don’t they care that he is promising to do it again?

after the memorialin which memories were returned again to life and salty tears and poems and mu ed sobs from books and hearts made these pixels shimmer and made them stand and groovewe said good bye and didn’t walk from the church to the hall where strange quarter sandwiches and potato salad held forth on the justness of bodies and the turning over of earthwhile patient dogs waited at home for bags of scraps and bones. and too many flowers still needed arranging. no. we clicked leave meeting and we lowered the screen and we stumbled back alone to the crummy hole where last we’d seen our hero fall.

He is promising to wage war: war on undocumented immigrants (mass deportations), war on women (whose bodies don’t matter), war on the LGBTQ community (whose rights don’t matter), war on race (Black lives don’t matter), war on Medi-Cal (poor people don’t matter), war on Medicare and Social Security (elders don’t matter), war on Democracy (his enemies list) and war on the earth itself (drill, baby, drill).

Can the irony be any more perfect than that a polar vortex of arctic air is sweeping across America, forcing his inauguration ceremony into the very Capitol Rotunda that was defaced and defiled

four years ago, or is Mother Nature warning us that mistakes can have dire consequences?

Earth Flag Measure Back In Court

By Kimberly Wear kim@northcoastjournal.com

The question of whether voters can compel the city of Arcata to fly the Earth flag at the top of the city’s municipal flagpoles as a symbolic gesture, despite a conflict with state laws mandating the United States flag fly above all others, is back in court.

Proponents of the successful citizen-led Measure M — which led to the unprecedented placement for a little more than one year — are asking the state’s First District Court of Appeal to overrule a local judge, who answered the question with a resounding no.

Passed by 52 percent of the vote in November of 2022, the ballot initiative is believed to be the first of its kind in the country, not only in upending the traditional protocol of the American flag flying above all others but in enacting a local law as an expression of community “values and priorities,” in this case that the well-being of the Earth needs to be prioritized.

In an April decision, Humboldt County

Superior Court Judge Timothy Canning found Arcata voters “do not have the power to exempt” the city from state laws, noting the potential cascade of legal ramifications from such a precedent.

“There may be very strong policy reason to fly the Earth flag above the national flag, as Measure M sets forth, but these policy reasons are insu cient to excuse the city from complying with mandatory state law on flying the national and state flags,” he wrote. “The court finds and declares that the measure approved by a majority of voters in the city, which requires the city to fly the Earth flag above the national flag on city-owned flag poles on city property, directly conflicts with mandatory state law, and is therefore not enforceable.”

Canning’s ruling also points to the fact that Arcata is a general law city, bound to adhere to state law.

In an opening appellate brief, the proponent’s attorney Eric Kirk argues Canning’s decision erred in narrowly focusing on the “hierarchy of state versus local

government” and failed to “jealously guard” the rights of residents under the California initiative process, leaving the voice of voters “lost in the discussion.”

“The question is not whether a local government can override the state government. This approach is backwards as its focus is on government will and excludes the sacrosanct power of the people to override their government under the State Constitution — the initiative power and the right to free speech,” Kirk wrote. “The question is whether there is a compelling state interest in overriding the direct will of the people as to the implementation of a state law that interferes with the voters’ freedom of speech and expression.”

Kirk, who is representing the proponents Citizens in Support of Measure M pro bono, points to the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark 1989 decision in the Texas vs. Johnson case, which found burning the American flag was “symbolic speech” protected by the First Amendment.

“There can be no doubt that the measure and the physical acts it mandates are expressions of protected speech,” Kirk’s brief states. “It is the whole point of Measure M. There is U.S. Supreme Court recognition of the initiative in general as an expression of ‘core political speech,’ and there is the very content of the initiative which amounts to the expression being suppressed by the decision.”

At the end of the day, he wrote, there is no “compelling state interest in ensuring that every locality fly flags in a certain order which justifies the deprivation of the city of Arcata’s voters to freedom of speech.”

Canning’s ruling addresses the First Amendment question but found that because the initiative compelled the city to “speak” by mandating the Earth flag’s position on city-owned property, it constituted government speech, which is not protected by the First Amendment, as municipalities don’t have the same rights as individuals.

For its part, the city of Arcata is asking the appellate court to uphold Canning’s decision.

While the Arcata City Council approved flying the “Blue Marble” image of

the Earth photographed from the Apollo 17 mission in 1972 to the top spot during a December 2022 closed session “to honor the important ballot initiative process and the will of our voters,” the decision was made with the provision that the city would seek a “judicial resolution” on whether Measure M conflicted with state law.

After Canning’s ruling, the council voted in April to return the flags on the city’s three municipal flagpoles to the traditional arrangement, with the U.S. flag on top, followed by the California flag and the Earth flag below them.

A response brief filed by attorneys with the city’s Sacramento-based law firm argues the case is a clear-cut matter of a local ordinance in a general law city conflicting with state law, and despite the proponents’ e orts “to craft a constitutional argument for Measure M’s validity, that is not the call of the question.”

“Appellant claims that this ruling is in error because the people’s power of initiative should override state and federal law and because refusal to enforce the Measure M ordinance adopted by the city violates appellant’s freedom of speech,” the brief states. “The city con-

tends the trial court applied the appropriate legal standard to reach the correct ruling that the Measure M ordinance is preempted by state law and therefore unenforceable.”

Legal scholars previously interviewed by the Journal said Measure M potentially raises complex and unprecedented legal and constitutional questions depending on how it is viewed.

On one hand, Los Angeles-based public interest attorney and law professor Tracy Weston previously told the Journal, there is the “reasonably simple” concept of a “clash between state law and local law” in which cases, he noted, generally “state law wins.”

But things could become more complex with the First Amendment argument, Weston said.

“It might be possible that the citizens that passed the ballot initiative say, ‘Yes, the flag is on public property but it’s imbued with symbolic features, that’s why — for instance — the state government wants or the national government wants the U.S. flag on top,” he said. “Why does [the government] want that? For symbolic purposes: We’re part of a larger nation that’s the most important thing

and you’re a subsection of that, so we put the California flag below that. But the fact that they are making laws like that is a concession that flags are imbued with symbolic purpose.

“If that is the case,” Westen continued, “there are free speech issues involved with this case and if the citizens vote that they want the Earth flag on top to show the Earth is the most critical issue these days ... [the] ballot measure is imbued with aspects of First Amendment protected speech.”

No hearing date has been set for oral arguments in the appeal. ●

Eureka Group Marches in Resistance

More than 200 people joined the People’s March in Eureka at the Humboldt County courthouse on Saturday morning in the nationwide day of protest ahead of Trump’s second inauguration on Monday. Eight years ago, more than 8,000 people appeared for the local Women’s March (now renamed as the People’s March) in Eureka, protesting Trump’s first inauguration in 2017.

“We’re here today thanking and acknowledging all the people who have been protesting for generations,” said local event organizer Cheryl Furman, of Kneeland. “We’re here also because we need to recruit new people to protest because it looks like we’re going to need to do it for a long time to come.”

Furman said no permit was needed as the city police just wanted an advance heads up on the planned route and asked that everyone stay on the sidewalk.

The march began after a welcome by Furman and local nonprofit Centro del Pueblo, as well as songs by the Raging Grannies. Participants walked a loop from the courthouse on Fifth Street to F Street, taking a right, and returning to the courthouse via Second Street. The marchers carried signs and chanted in support of the national movement’s goals around women’s and reproductive rights, LGBTQ+

rights, immigration, climate and democracy, in addition to criticism of Trump and his political positions. The marchers slowly disbanded after returning to the courthouse.

When asked what participating in the People’s March meant to her, Furman said, “It feels like something I can do to bring people together and let other people know that people are doing something.”

According to news reports, national People’s March organizers say they have moved past the internal tumult that once stymied the movement that began with a successful march eight years ago on the day after Trump’s first inauguration.

The new name reflects organizers’ attempts to broaden their base support and priorities to form a larger coalition they plan to mobilize for more days of action in the future.

“We’re recognizing the necessity of having a really broad-based coalition that is bringing people in,” said Tamika Middleton, managing director of the Women’s March, in an AP news story. “We’re asking ourselves how we build a big tent that allows for the kind of multiracial, multiclass, multi-gender mass movement that can make a difference politically in the coming years.”

Sanctuary in the Storm

Amid growing concern, officials affirm commitment to Humboldt’s protections for undocumented residents

By Thadeus Greenson

thad@northcoastjournal.com

Apalpable fear was already spreading in some local communities before President Donald J. Trump took the oath of office in the Capitol Rotunda on Jan. 20 and decried what he called an “invasion” of migrants into the United States, quickly following up his inaugural address by signing a flurry of executive orders to reshape the country’s immigration policy.

Since Election Day, undocumented residents of Humboldt County and people in mixed-status households have been living with a growing anxiety over what’s to

come if Trump attempts to follow through with his campaign promises to oversee the largest mass deportation program the nation has ever seen, at times saying his administration will work to expel everyone living in the United States without the federal government’s permission, an estimated 11 million people, according to a PEW Research Center study in 2022, which included 1.8 million people living in California.

The Humboldt County Civil Rights Commission’s Sanctuary Ordinance Standing Committee met Jan. 16 to discuss the fears circulating among undocumented

local residents, and multiple local elected officials took the opportunity to reaffirm their commitment to operating under the sanctuary ordinance local voters passed in 2018. Approved by 55 percent of voters, Measure K explicitly prohibits county employees from assisting or collaborating with federal immigration agencies. State legislation, Senate Bill 54, signed into law the same year, imposed similar policies statewide.

“I will be very, very clear here, I will follow state law … and our county ordinance

to a T,” Sheri William Honsal said at the committee meeting. “That’s my job. And that includes Measure K and Senate Bill 54.”

Humboldt County District Attorney Stacey Eads o ered similar assurances in brief remarks at the meeting, while Third District Supervisor Mike Wilson said if the federal government or any other entity sued in an e ort to overturn Measure K, the county would defend the ordinance.

It was clear throughout the meeting, however, that o cials’ pledges to hold firm to Humboldt’s sanctuary county provisions only go so far in addressing concerns.

One participant in the meeting said while they took some “comfort” that the county would continue to abide by the provisions of Measure K and Senate Bill 54, there was also “a bit of tone deafness to the moment we’re in,” noting that federal “rules may change.”

“It’s not like a wild conspiracy theory to say our community is under threat in new ways,” they said. “The rules could change and they could change quickly, and

it could be disastrous for people who live here.”

The new Trump administration wasted little time amplifying that point, as among a host of executive orders the president signed within hours of taking o ce — which included declaring a national emergency at the southern border, deploying the military to finish the border wall and canceling tens of thousands of scheduled immigration appointments — was one to end birthright citizenship, the 14th Amendment constitutional protection that holds that anyone born in the U.S. is a citizen. (Eighteen states, including California, filed a lawsuit Jan. 21 seeking to block the order.)

Incoming border czar Tom Homan, who has been tapped to lead Trump’s deportation strategy, has said enforcement will take a phased approach, beginning with e orts to target undocumented residents who are “violent criminals” or pose national security threats. Trump seemed to echo this in his inaugural address, saying he would “begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to

the places from which they came.”

But there appears a deep divide between the rhetoric and what research shows about the estimated 11 million immigrants living in the U.S. without permission. According to a study by the National Institute of Justice, the research arm of the U.S. Department of Justice, only a tiny fraction of undocumented immigrants are arrested for violent crime annually. Specifically, the agency analyzed arrest records in Texas from 2012 through 2018 and found that undocumented residents were arrested for violent crimes at a rate of 96 per 100,000 residents, far less than legal immigrants (185 per 100,000) and U.S. citizens (213 per 100,000). The same study found similar disparities in property and drug crimes, as well.

If those numbers hold nationally, that would mean less than 10,500 of the 11 million undocumented residents in the country have been arrested for violent crimes. Meanwhile, other studies, including a

landmark one by the American Immigration Council that relied on comparing data from the FBI crime reporting database and the U.S. Census, have shown that as the immigrant share of the U.S. population has grown since 1980, the rates of both violent and property crime have declined.

So if the focus is really going to be on deporting undocumented criminals, there’s no evidence to suggest there are 100,000, much less “millions and millions” of them. But in the runup to the election, the Trump campaign also repeatedly scapegoated undocumented immigrants for other domestic problems, from housing shortages to stagnated wages and (infamously and entirely without evidence) missing pets.

DOOR SHOP NOW OPEN

This kind of anti-immigrant rhetoric mixed with ambiguity as to exactly what is planned adds to the uncertainty and fear facing undocumented residents throughout the country, including Humboldt.

Honsal, for his part, told those attending the committee meeting he does not expect to see large immigration sweeps targeting residents whose only crime is being in the country without permission, at least not locally.

“I honestly believe we are not going to see ICE doing mass deportations in Humboldt County,” he said. “Humboldt County does not have an issue. We do not have an issue here. There are issues in other parts of the state and other parts of the nation where there’s criminal activity that’s taking place with people that are not from our country or don’t have documentation, people that they are going to pursue. I don’t think those people are here in the county. And so I don’t think we are going to see buses pull up and [agents] going door to door. … I don’t think that’s going to take place in our county.”

But if it does, Honsal said he will work to be an advocate for undocumented local residents, interfacing with immigration officials and making sure they are following the law.

“I can go talk to immigration and say, ‘What’s going on? What’s your authority? Let me see the warrant,’” he said. Throughout the meeting, some expressed concern about the chilling effect fears of a large-scale deportation effort are already having on the local community, saying they may prevent some from seeking care at the hospital or help from police, or even sending their children to local schools. One young person who identified themselves as a Eureka High School student said classmates have voiced the fear that they “could be pulled out of school [by immigration officials] and put in a van without their family being notified.”

Reached by the Journal, Humboldt County Superintendent of Education Mi-

chael Davies-Hughes said he understands all the media attention on the prospect of mass deportations can make people feel vulnerable and anxious, but he stressed that local schools are safe places for everyone.

“What I’d say to families that have that fear and anxiety is that school has been and will continue to be a place that regardless of a student’s citizenship, they are welcome, and we will open our arms to them and ensure that every student has an opportunity in our public schools,” Davies-Hughes said.

Davies-Hughes said local school districts don’t keep data on the citizenship or documentation status of their students. They require two things for enrollment: proof of residency (which can be fulfilled with a utility bill, rental contract or sworn declaration by a parent or guardian) and proof of age (which can be fulfilled with a birth certificate, but also a statement from a local registrar or county recorder, a baptism certificate or an affidavit from a parent or guardian). The bottom line, Davies-Hughes said, is that schools don’t know students’ immigration status — or that of members of their family or household — unless they’re told, and even then, state laws prohibit school employees from sharing that information with immigration agencies.

“The reality is there are laws in California that protect families and certainly students from some of these issues,” he said. “We will abide by the law, and we will do everything within the law to make sure our students thrive in an environment that’s safe for everyone.”

A spokesperson for Providence Health similarly stressed that medical providers at St. Joseph and Redwood Memorial hospitals are not interested in a patient’s

immigration status, nor do they share their personal information with federal authorities.

“We see healthcare as a fundamental human right, not a privilege,” spokesperson Christian Hill wrote in an email to the Journal. “We serve members of our community without regard to legal or socioeconomic status and believe that everyone deserves quality healthcare. As a mission-driven organization, we have a special focus on those who are most vulnerable and know that immigrants, undocumented or not, face unique challenges. Our medical facilities are currently a sanctuary for all in need of healing, and a safe place where everyone can expect to be treated with compassion and respect. … Enforcement agents do not have access to patient care areas and may not conduct enforcement activity on our campuses. We do not report our patients’ personal information, including legal status, to enforcement authorities.”

During the Human Rights Commission committee meeting, one woman who identified herself as Dulce said she is a mother of four and asked what would happen to her children if she was deported, noting she saw the family separations that occurred under the first Trump administration.

Honsal said when someone is arrested, their children can’t come with them but said county social services would typically take custody of the children until they can be placed with a family member, a “close non-relative” or, if neither are available, into foster care. Centro Del Pueblo Executive Director Brenda Perez, who was serving as an interpreter at the meeting, then interjected that Measure K “clarifies this point,” saying it provides that Dulce

would be allowed to sign an order directing her children be left with whomever she chooses.

Repeatedly throughout the meeting, Honsal stressed that his department and local police are not interested in someone’s immigration status, only enforcing state laws and keeping communities safe. He said they never ask for proof of legal residency or citizenship. However, he said when someone is arrested on suspicion of a crime and booked into jail, their fingerprints are taken and sent to several federal agencies, including Homeland Security and ICE.

“If someone has been previously deported or is on an immigration violation, Homeland Security will notify us that person in custody should be held on a detainer for an immigration violation,” Honsal said. “We do not honor that hold. We do not hold anyone beyond what their state charges would keep them in custody for.”

Homan, Trump’s border czar, has said in media interviews that he believes anyone who fails to honor an ICE detainer request is “harboring or concealing illegal aliens,” and therefore committing a crime, saying he planned to ask nominated Attorney General Pam Bondi to review the matter and issue a formal opinion as to whether local agencies that don’t comply with detainer requests are violating federal law. Honsal, for his part, said he doesn’t think Homan’s position is “valid under the law,” adding that if ICE or Homeland Security wants to take custody of someone, those agencies are free to seek an arrest warrant.

As it currently stands, Honsal said the only time the sheri ’s o ce releases someone to ICE is if they’ve previously been convicted for a serious or violent felony under the definitions of state law. But Honsal said local protections under

Measure K are such that if ICE showed up at the jail and asked to speak with an inmate, jail sta would only allow them to if the inmate consented.

Asked about local residents being harassed or victimized by vigilantes, Honsal said he’d hope they’d call 911 so o cers could come help them. But he quickly added that holding perpetrators accountable and investigating crimes to the full extent of the law requires the cooperation of the person who has been victimized or harassed.

“We’re going to need that evidence to support the investigation,” he said. “But I understand that is going to take trust. And trust is earned over time.”

Toward the end of the meeting, Perez spoke about her relationship with county o cials, noting that she appreciated their attempts at speaking Spanish during the meeting and wants to fully trust them. But she quickly added that when she hears assurances that Measure K or S.B. 54 prohibits them from sharing information or cooperating with immigration authorities, it’s as if the laws are “preventing” them from doing something and she’d like to hear a more a rmative commitment to proactively advocating for and protecting immigrant communities.

“We are integral to this community,” she said, noting that most undocumented residents pay taxes though they don’t receive the full spectrum of services available to citizens. “This is the birthplace of children of our communities. I’d like you to support us with action.” ●

New Year

Kimchi and Alfredo?

By Susann Goodman onthetable@northcoastjournal.com

Growing up in the ’80s as a half Korean and half white kid in Southern California, the TV shows, dolls and demographics of my neighborhood didn’t reflect me or my reality. Physically, I did not look like I was enough of one side to hide comfortably behind those features. As a child, I longed to fit in, to be as unremarkable as the white bread sandwiches my classmates brought for lunch. Instead, my mother lovingly packed me bentos filled with rice and bulgogi, meals rich in flavor and culture, but as glaringly out of place as I felt in my elementary school lunchroom. The wrinkled noses and pointed fingers from classmates were more than my 7-year-old self could bear. Heaven forbid she included kimchi — its pungent aroma drawing notice like a spotlight illuminating my failure to blend in.

I created this dish as an entry in the Are you Feeling Saucy? sauce competition and annual fundraiser for Redwood Coast Montessori. At first glance, Alfredo and kimchi don’t seem to make sense paired together — not traditional sense. For this dish, I took the best of both worlds — two iconic sets of flavors and textures — to create something that is both familiar and unexpected. Sharing this dish with our school community was a way for me to give my kids the chance to be proud of their identity as Korean Americans and all the possibilities that includes. I want them and all kids to know that they are not bound to a single, static identity, and they should be uncompromising in their own authenticity. And yes, my sauce won.

The recipe below can be adjusted for heat and creaminess, and the gochujang (fermented red pepper paste), gochugaru (Korean pepper flakes) and kimchi can all be found at Little Japan in Eureka (2848 F St.).

As an adult, I have come to celebrate my personal distinctiveness on many different levels. I finally understand: I don’t have to choose. I now love to share recipes and food ideas with my friends and neighbors, and expand their food universe. Grilled cheese, a staple and a classic, can be brought to a new level by adding some kimchi. Mackerel, an extremely sustainable fish beloved by Korean communities, is often overlooked here, but it’s easy to grill. When we have steak for dinner, I also set out the ingredients for ssam (rice, lettuce and ssamjang dipping sauce) and soju is always a good idea for a happy hour at my house. These small acts of tweaking recipes reminds me that being different isn’t just OK — it’s worth celebrating and sharing with loved ones.

This year, the Are You Feeling Saucy? fundraiser will take place on Saturday, Feb. 8, from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Sequoia Conference Center. Tickets include a dinner of pastas with a variety of unique (competing!) sauces, salad, bread and dessert ($20, $15 kids, free for ages 0-6). Gluten-free options will be available, along with beer and wine for purchase. There will also be a silent auction and Dutch raffle, with live music by Luciano Marazzo.

Come hungry and ready to enjoy a night of culinary creativity while supporting our local school community. Tickets and entry forms are available at redwoodcoastmontessori.org.

Kimchi Alfredo

If you prefer extra sauce, increase the heavy cream slightly (up to 1 ¼ cups). Spice levels can be adjusted by modifying the amount of gochugaru and gochujang.

Ingredients:

4-6 thin slices bacon or pork belly (about 2–3 ounces)

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes)

1 tablespoon gochujang (fermented red pepper paste)

½ cup kimchi (finely chopped)

3-4 tablespoons kimchi juice

¼ medium white onion, finely chopped or grated (about ¼ cup)

2-3 cloves garlic, minced

2 ounces cream cheese (about ¼ of a standard block), cut into 1-inch cubes

1 tablespoon green onions, chopped, for garnish

1 teaspoon sesame seeds for garnish

6–8 ounces dry noodles of your choice (dry weight, about half a standard package)

Boil noodles according to package directions until just al dente. Drain and set aside,

In a heavy-bottomed pot, sauté the bacon or pork belly over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove and set aside.

In the remaining fat, sauté the white onion over medium heat until translucent. Add kimchi and a splash of kimchi juice, and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned (about 2 minutes).

Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream and cream cheese. Mix until the cream cheese is fully melted and incorporated. Add gochugaru, gochujang and garlic, stirring until evenly combined.

Return the bacon or pork belly to the pot and let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes to prevent scorching.

Toss the cooked noodles in the sauce, ensuring they’re well-coated. Top with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Pruning Lessons, Tools and Warnings

By Julia Graham-Whitt downanddirty@northcoastjournal.com

As I write this, it’s overcast, drizzling and freaking cold. Quite a change from the day before, which was 66 degrees and sunny. Welcome to winter in Humboldt.

I’m sure we’re all grateful for the break in the endless rain that occurred in late December and early January. I know I am, as it’s a busy time for my line of work. Winter means pruning time for those fruit trees, raspberries, roses and blueberries. Obviously your trees, roses and shrubberies will continue to produce if you don’t prune them, but after a few years, they’ll get overgrown and eventually produce less fruit and flowers.

So how to prune? If you learn easily from reading a book or handout, there are some excellent resources out there. One of my favorite books for fruit tree

pruning is Fruit Trees for Every Garden: An Oganic Approach to Growing Apples, Pears, Peaches, Plums, Citrus, and More, by Orin and Manjula Martin. Orin was the long-time manager of the renowned Chadwick Garden on the campus of University of California Santa Cruz.

There are literally thousands of online tutorials, pamphlets and videos that promise to teach you how to prune. But what if you’re nervous and don’t want to just read how to do this?

Luckily for you, there are workshops and one-day events that focus on pruning. The Humboldt Rose Society o ers multiple workshops on rose pruning and care, including one on Jan. 25 at Shafer’s Ace Hardware Fortuna, for which you can sign up at (707) 442-5734. Peruse the full calendar at humboldtrosesociety.org. But what about fruit trees? The

Choose your pruning weapon. But maybe not the cleaver.

University of California Master Gardener program has an excellent handout that explains the basis of fruit tree pruning. You can find that at homeorchard.ucanr. edu/The_Big_Picture/Pruning_&_Training. Also watch your local garden groups, pages and the Journal’s Calendar for announcements about upcoming workshops. There are also approximately 8 million YouTube videos that will show you how to prune trees, roses and shrubs. Choose wisely and choose for your climate.

Once you’re ready to tackle pruning, you need the proper tools. I recommend a good pair of pruning shears (I use Felcos but the less expensive brands also have quality ones), a sharpener for said pruners, a sturdy pair of loppers, a pole saw, an orchard ladder, a stepladder, a bottle of alcohol (rubbing, hold o on the drinking kind until after you’re done pruning), dormant oil, a sprayer and sturdy gardening gloves. And unless you’re pruning larger trees, please, I beg of you, hold o on the chainsaw. I’ve seen some pretty sad trees that have been attacked by a chainsaw-wielding gardener. Since apples only produce on wood that’s two years old or older, if you use the “chain-

saw method,” not only will you notget any fruit for another two years, you will cause the tree to put out about a billion sprouts from the cuts. It’s not pretty, trust me. I will use a chainsaw sparingly to get an overgrown, poorly pruned tree back into shape, but only to take out crossing branches and branches that are stumped by previous folks.

I’ve also been told by my editor that her mother uses a Chinese cleaver. She regaled me and my pruning helper last year with a tale about her mother coming back in the house holding the cleaver. When asked what she did with it outside, she replied she was pruning an overgrown tree. Um. When family members went out back, they discovered half the tree was gone. I suspect it didn’t fruit that year. Or the year after that and the year after that. So I can’t recommend a cleaver but your mileage may vary.

If you’re nervous about pruning for the first time, there are many pros out there that are happy to come help you with your yard and orchard. Do ask for references, though. Many a person comfortable using a chainsaw has told former clients they know how to prune fruit trees, but it turns out they know how to

cut a lot o the tree. Fruit tree pruning takes a bit of finesse. I’ve seen some hack jobs — literally hacked — as I drive around town, and I would take photos and share them here, but since I don’t want to tree shame, I’ll just encourage you to look at trees as you drive around town. Use your best judgement.

After you’ve pruned, make sure you use a good dormant spray, soaking the entire tree or rose. Especially on the coast, our cool foggy weather gives rise to more than a few diseases that will impact fruiting.

Once our June-uary returns (we usually get a few weeks of spring-like weather in January/February), get on out there and try your hand at pruning. The bounty you reap will make this work worth the reward. ●

Planting Apple Trees on the North Coast

By Pete Haggard with Jane Monroe newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

pples are the most accommodating and long lived of fruit trees, and they cope with our wet climate quite well. There are many varieties of apple trees to choose from, each with its own characteristics. January is the best month to plant bare root trees, so take the time now to research the best varieties and choose an apple tree or three.

An important consideration in selecting your trees is ripening period. For a balanced harvest, I recommend at least three apple trees: one each of the best tasting early, mid-, and late season varieties. This guarantees better pollination and extended fruit production, rather

than a glut of apples ripening all in one short timeframe.

Next, are the apples you are considering self-fruitful or self-sterile? In our area there are usually more than enough trees around for pollination of self-sterile trees but be aware of this di erence. Your apple trees will likely produce more fruit if there are other apples nearby. Select the rootstock that will work best for you. I have never planted anything but dwarf apple trees, though most nurseries provide a choice of dwarf, semi-dwarf or standard-sized trees. For pruning trees, thinning fruit and keeping an eye out for insect pests and disease problems, trees under 8 feet tall are far

easier to work with than full-sized ones. (Read more about pruning on page TK.)

An apple’s flavor is, of course, a major consideration. My preferred apple varieties for fresh eating are firm, juicy, and highly flavored (sweet and tart). Highly flavored apples are usually the best for culinary uses. Here are some apples that I think are worth planting:

The Gravenstein apple has long been considered the best early apple in the Pacific Northwest and I agree. It is highly flavored and has a crisp, juicy texture. Its only weakness is that it gets soft quickly, so it doesn’t store well.

Most apple varieties ripen during midseason, so there is a lot to choose from for your second apple. One of the best is Ribston Pippin, an heirloom English apple that has stood the test of time. I think it is the best tasting apple for the North Coast. My second choice is a modern commercial apple, Jonagold. Of all the varieties that I grow, it is the most pest/ disease resistant, and it has consistent fruit production and great flavor.

There is only one late apple that I would consider for Humboldt, and that is Waltana, which I mentioned in a recent

also known as Candlemas and the Feast of Brighid.

Saturday, February 1st 6pm

Humboldt Unitarian Universalist Fellowship 24 Fellowship Way, Bayside, CA

Join us for a celebration of Brighid as both Goddess and Saint. We honor Brighid and invite her to join us as we tend her flame and welcome the coming Spring. Ritual will be led by Solas Dorcha, Archdruid of the Druids of the Tuatha De’ Danann. A festive potluck will follow.

column about apple chutney (“Humboldt Apple Chutney,” Oct. 31, 2024). A genuine Humboldt County apple, it was developed in Ettersburg. Waltana’s flesh is very crisp, firm and juicy. It keeps well in storage, and it is excellent for both fresh eating and culinary purposes.

Finally, what about the e ects of North Coast winter rains on your fruit trees? Apple trees are very tolerant of wet feet, but there is a disease called scab (caused by the fungus Venturia inaequalis) that can a ect both their fruit and leaves. Select varieties with at least moderate scab resistance or manage your trees to minimize their chances of becoming infected. ●

He writes with editorial assistance from Jane Monroe (she/her), whose favorite apple is the Waltana.

In Heaven Everything is Fine

By Collin Yeo music@northcoastjournal.com

Every so often in the course of my time manning the nightlife section in this paper, I find myself in the unenviable position of having to note the passing of an artist, whether local or more famous. It’s never a fun thing, but I consider it an essential aspect of the job, as “all hands bury the dead,” and it is the duty of the living to memorialize the departed. But in my seven-plus years on this beat, last week’s death was perhaps the most affecting for me personally, as although I rarely get emotionally attached to famous strangers, this fella was someone very special to me for most of my life. I am talking about David Lynch, the director, artist and sometimes musician whose work navigating the unique existential horror and beauty of the American inner and outer landscape is as irreplaceable as it was brilliant. To understand his fine balance of reckless, violent nihilism with a true love of innocence and redemption in the often hilarious and absurd camp of our nation’s lost highways, Tinseltown underbellies and lurking, malignant suburbs, is to understand the soul and beauty of a yearning people born in a post-nuclear cauldron of ultra-violence and tendrilled evil, and redeemed through the impossible thrust of pure love into a howling, frozen void. He understood something that he was able to hint at in various ways, some more successful to the masses than others, none of them ever off the mark or boring, about the true nature of finding purity and sincerely good people amid the fallout blast zone of widespread, ever-encroaching cruelty and destruction. He portrayed the Other and possession, and the rift in the universe created by the Unspeakable that haunted the cool and the beautiful and the awkward alike. He dealt in contrasts without being so clumsy as to force messaging and metaphors because he trusted his audience to engage with the same universal subconsciousness that he was adept at channeling, in a language whose argot was never clearly defined, but instantly recognizable as a multimedia, multi-dimensional and eternal tone oozing as pestilence from the wounds of worldly evil and the balms of pure love alike.

There has never been, and will never be, another like him. Although many have tried, nobody has captured the heart of his expression, his humor, his earnestness, in the face of the unknowable vacuum into which we are all thrust at birth, and in which we forge the compass of our moral beings to explore the infinite reaches of our essential souls. He was as American as apple pie, black coffee and mass murder. He was a seer every bit as transcendentally brilliant as William Blake and the world is so much blinder without his vision. Thankfully, he left a lifetime of work that one could study over several lifetimes and for that, we are all in his debt. A debt that, I suspect, he would simply ask us to pay with our own thoughts and attention. Rest easy.

Thursday

Swing by the Basement tonight at 8 p.m. for a free celebration of the music — and birthdays — of Stéphane Grappelli and Django Reinhardt, the pioneering jazz violinist and guitarist, respectively, who changed the world of music forever beginning in the 1930s with their group the Quintette du Hot Club de France, ground zero for the genre of music now known as jazz manouche, ever since a certain “g” word has been deemed a slur. Tonight’s show features an all-star ensemble of local musicians, Rob Diggins and Jolianne Einem on violin, John Ludington on bass, Ryan Roberts on guitar, Amanda Malachesky on mandolin and Beverly Twist performing guitar and vocal duties. Should be a blast.

Friday

Wednesday’s queer dance party at the Miniplex, Big Mood, is back, and has now moved to the fourth Friday of every month. Tonight’s return will be celebrated by regular DJ Pandemonium Jones, along

with guest spinner DJ Satanica and hosted by local diva of drag Val De Flores. The fun starts at 9 p.m. and there is no cover at the door. Ages 21 and older.

Saturday

Trumpeter Nicholas Talvola and company return with a redux of their popular appreciation of the music of jazz and world genre bender and multi-instrumentalist Yusef Lateef at the Arcata Playhouse tonight at 8 p.m. ($15). Tonight’s ensemble includes Gary Lewis on flute and sax, Brian White on trombone, and the lads in RLAD will be providing the guts and bones of the rhythm section.

Sunday

The Chamber Players of the Redwoods presents a 2 p.m. matinee trio of programs for the public. The Zug Consort will be playing music from the Renaissance, followed by Humboldt Harmoniemusik performing a piece by mid-20th century English composer Ruth Gibbs, and capping the show will be pieces by former Cal Poly music professor John Carr, performed by Trombones @ 5. The fun all happens at the Arcata Lutheran Church and, while the gig is free, donations are graciously accepted.

Monday

Dual headlining comics from Los Angeles will be taking over Savage Henry Comedy Club tonight at 9 p.m. Come join Justin Lentz and Curtis Taylor III as they work the mics and sing for their supper for a mere $5 at the door, quite a deal for a show so far from home.

Tuesday

Malibu rapper Shwayze has a career going back into the mid-00s, with summer jams, beach anthems, and summer grooves dominating the overall vibe of his career. If you would like a little bit of that sunshine during our fairly bipolar winter, then come by the Arcata Theatre Lounge tonight at 7 p.m. Bikini Trill and Twin Fin feature on the undercard ($28, $116 for the VIP experience).

Wednesday

Forget a bad moon. There is no moon rising tonight, at least not one we can see, which makes it a perfectly safe evening to indulge in one of the greatest werewolf films ever made, An American Werewolf in London. Goofy humor mixes with vicious and shocking flesh-rending violence in this classic from 1981, courtesy of “Thriller” music video director and human shithead John Landis. (For more information on the latter designation, look up how actor Vic Morrow and two children died on one of Landis’ sets.) Evil work practices and awful o spring notwithstanding, Landis had the gift, and this one’s a classic. Check it out at the Arcata Theatre Lounge at 6 p.m. if you’re game for some humor, carnage and a rare serious role from the late Rik Mayall of The Young Ones and Drop Dead Fred fame. Only $6 gets you in the door; $10 lets you leave with a poster.

Wolf Man’s Incomplete Transformation

By John J. Bennett screens@northcoastjournal.com

bedeviled by a father in inter-species crisis, set among the already shiver-inducing environs of rural-most Oregon. And that it is, quite successfully at times; so why do I feel conflicted?

WOLF MAN. Almost five years ago now, the new plague looming as the presumptive worst thing that could happen in the next however-long — were we ever so innocent? — the release of writer-director Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man prompted me to both lament the rather dismal roll-out of Universal’s ostensible monster series reboot (The Mummy, 2017) and to celebrate the possibilities suggested by its transition to the more modest, generally sturdier Blumhouse imprint.

That was an occasion to nostalgize and bloviate, but the heart of the matter was the surprising success of Whannell’s adaptation. Not that his work was to be questioned, but the abject failure of a bigger studio’s attempt at modernizing a classic was so profound as to make the whole enterprise seem more than a little dubious. But his execution of The Invisible Man, with its prescient topicality and, most especially, realignment of the narrative with the “victim” (Elisabeth Moss) at the center of the frame, made for a modest, ingenious twist on a classic that could only have boded well for things to come. And then the world went into its death spasms, and we didn’t hear much about this particular brand of monster for quite some time.

Until, that is, trailers for Wolf Man began circulating, another rehash of a rehash of a rehash, potentially salvaged (again) by Blumhouse and Whannell. It was and is a tricky proposition, filmic werewolf mythology being both dustier than a mummy and, as a corollary, maybe even dearer or at least more familiar. I have explored the cinema lycanthropy less than most of the other classical monsters, but that does not mean I (like so many) am not well-versed in its traits and tropes. And so, even without a dog in the fight, I was prepared both to embrace and judge Whannell’s version of things.

That version promising, at least from the initial advertising, to be an economical, more folklore-based tale of a family

What Wolf Man gets right, at least in the early going, is to foreground a family struggling to remain connected against its supernatural events. Blake (Christoper Abbott), a writer “between jobs,” whom we meet as an adolescent in a somewhat stilted, unnecessarily expository opening flashback, is married to busy journalist Charlotte (Julia Garner). They are parents to Ginger (Matilda Firth), about the age of Blake when we first meet him. As a benefit of his unemployment, Blake is able to spend more time with Ginger than does Charlotte, a source of some distance between the couple. So, when he receives notification that his estranged father has been declared dead (after how long, we can’t be sure), Blake suggests the family decamp to his childhood home to take a break, reconnect and set the house in order.

It’s not an unnatural or unexpected impulse, but this rather precipitous transition is the beginning of our narrative troubles. One jump cut and the family is lost in the woods of central Oregon in a moving truck nobody seems at all comfortable with. A couple of wrong turns later and — no spoiler, it’s in the trailer — they’ve crashed into a ravine, are forced to extricate themselves from a truck suspended on its side and are then faced with the prospect of a raging infection claiming Blake’s humanity.

The all-in-one-night fight for survival and any sort of understanding works theoretically and, in flashes, practically. Whannell and director of photography Stefan Duscio devise clever ways of using available light to ramp up the suspense, as well as a neat in-camera trick to transition between the points of view of Charlotte, Ginger and the transitioning Blake. But in dispensing

exposition in

first few scenes, the remainder of the story becomes a not-quite-harried enough series of flights and pursuits, with the family running from farmhouse to barn to pick-up and back again without a continuous enough sense of threat.

The creature e ects are compelling and grotesque, although I think the creators tried too hard in restraining themselves and, in so doing, fall just short of making a truly memorable new monster. And then there’s the business of how much humanity remains within the wolf and some unanswered questions about origin and durability.

There’s much to appreciate here, particularly in the attempt to do something di erent from both existing werewolf movie myths and from The Invisible Man, but here the intent seems obscure and disconnected from the scenes as they play out on screen. Perhaps the most grievous missed opportunity is Garner’s relative paucity of material with which to truly work. She is one of the most fascinating, focused and compelling American actors of her day, but Wolf Man insists on making her a final girl without the clever quips. R. 103M. BROADWAY, MILL CREEK. ●
