EDITORIAL

‘Off the Ride’

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

I

n so many ways, last week’s cover story (“‘Tarnished’”) should reinforce people’s faith in the Eureka Police Department. The story, based on the internal affairs investigation that sustained allegations of sexual battery and conduct unbecoming against former officer Michael Stelzig, illustrated that EPD did a lot of things right.

It took the allegations that were brought forward by one of Stelzig’s colleagues seriously and investigated them vigorously. It promptly revoked Stelzig’s police powers but respected his right to due process. And when the allegations were ultimately sustained, it referred Stelzig for criminal prosecution (prosecutors declined to file sexual battery charges) and fired him, even though his predatory behavior occurred while he was off-duty at a social gathering.

But reading through the documents, we kept coming back to the lengthy transcript of an interview with the officer who reported Stelzig to his superiors.

Reading the transcript — especially after reading that one woman told investigators the experience left her feeling “violated” — is like watching a car crash in slow motion. It’s a reminder to everyone, especially men, that we all have a role to play in stemming the epidemic of sexual violence. And make no mistake, it is an epidemic. Consider the statistics:

• More than one in three women and nearly one in four men report having experienced sexual violence • Nearly one in five women have experienced completed or attempted rape • Every 73 seconds, someone is sexually assaulted in the United States In the words of Journal arts and features editor Jennifer Fumiko Cahill, it’s enough to make women feel like prey animals, always scanning for potential danger and safe spaces.

To be sure, there is a lot we as a society need to do to shift this paradigm. We need to make sure authorities have the laws and resources available to hold predators accountable. We need to shift our highly sexualized culture to one that promotes respect and demands consent. We need to believe survivors.

And collectively, we need to be better allies, which brings us back to that transcript.

First we should note the difficulty and importance of the officer’s reporting Stelzig’s conduct to his superiors, recognizing how cases like this can tear at the fabric of close-knit police departments. But we also see this is a teachable moment, a chance for each of us to reflect on how to be a better, more effective ally.

According to the transcript, the officer told

4

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Jan. 30, 2020 • northcoastjournal.com

investigators that Stelzig began “bird dogging” the woman from the moment she arrived at the gathering, making repeated attempts to hug her and put his arms around her. (She told investigators she had to repeatedly spin or twist away to avoid being groped. If you don’t know what this looks like, ask a woman in your life.) The officer described one interaction in which he noticed his fellow officer speaking to the woman while leaning with his arm up against a wall, saying it appeared he had her cornered. At another point, after he said he saw Stelzig put his arm around the woman’s waist and neck, the officer said she was visibly uncomfortable. He told investigators he wished he had a photo of her face to show them her “hilarious” expression, adding that someone could look at it and realize, “Holy cow, this woman wants off the ride.”

Perhaps most troubling was the officer’s response when asked if it appeared Stelzig’s advances were “welcomed by this woman.”

“It didn’t but, at the same time, she wasn’t running away or anything and I’m like, well, you’re not holding anything, you know, and you could like punch this guy or knee-strike him to the groin or something … but she wasn’t running away,” he said.

Plainly, if our collective threshold for intervention is waiting for someone to fight or flee, we’re just enabling predators. And there is nothing “hilarious” about seeing someone violated while unsure how to extricate themselves from a physical interaction they clearly do not want.

As North Coast Rape Crisis Team Community Outreach Coordinator Paula Arrowsmith-Jones told us for last week’s story, speaking about sexual assault generally and not about Stelzig’s case, social pressures can make intervening in such interactions difficult for bystanders. But she also explained that it’s important to understand that effective intervention does not have to entail a direct confrontation.

To reiterate, Arrowsmith-Jones said she teaches the “three Ds” of intervention — direct, distract and delegate. So here’s what we do: Direct: Confronting the perpetrator directly about their behavior and telling them to stop.

Distract: Get the perpetrator or the other person out of the situation by saying you need to speak with them, show them something or some other excuse.

Delegate: Tell other people what you’re witnessing, bringing other eyes, ears and ideas to the situation.

We hope this is a chance for us as a community to reflect on these types of situations and how each of us can effectively intervene in the future to protect a neighbor. Epidemics, after all, require communitywide responses. So the next time you see someone who desperately wants “off the ride,” give them a hand down. l

‘Unhealthy’ Editor: Regarding Jan. 16 article “The Whistleblower:” Difficult, unhealthy situation that can be viewed as an end result of the de-evolution of our medical system.

After World War II, President Truman promoted a single payer-like system that was rejected by the American Medical Association and American Hospital Association because it would “make doctors slaves” to the system. The term slave is obviously out of proportion but I, myself, would rather answer to a government agency in which there is an emphasis on population health rather than a business model where the emphasis is on profit and influence. It is far healthier for a person and society to think of others and community rather than self and power.

In our medical system, resources follow the money. Rural hospitals, like Mad River, have a difficult time breaking even. Most rural hospitals lose money on obstetrics while orthopedic expertise pays the bills.

Although there are true orthopedic emergencies, the consequences of perinatal emergencies can have devastating human and financial effects. Is a total joint in a well-off Baby Boomer truly worth more than a well-staffed OB department? This is a system flaw with many local manifestations.

I have a lot of respect for those in the medical profession that take call.

Surgeons, OR/cath lab crews, anesthesiologists, pediatricians, intensivists, OB providers and others have been taking care of our community forever and then trying to make it through the next day. Dr. Ervin has been one of those providers. Dr. Bruce Barker is one of these providers. Both are dedicated, effective and human physicians that deserve respect and our appreciation.

When profit becomes our primary goal, our motivation is skewed, our interactions become antagonistic and our ability to work together as a respectful team is undermined.

Andrew Hooper, Arcata Editor: As president of the Humboldt Del Norte County Medical Society Executive Board, we wish to express concern for the physicians mentioned in the Jan. 16, article by Thadeus Greenson, “The Whistleblower.”

While transparency in medicine has significant benefits for the social contract healers make with the community and individual persons, it is not always easily achievable.

It is likewise not always possible to understand the full scope of activities that occur when evaluating medical skill and ongoing competency when being

viewed from the non-physician perspective.

Patients are caught in the middle of an ever-changing landscape without a clear direction or ultimate goal.

Physicians are also stuck in this quagmire of the infringement of physician autonomy, the loss of private practices, the growth of large healthcare systems, the increasing reliance on federal subsidized care through federally qualified health centers, the rise of professional medical student Terry Torgerson loan debt, the non-reimbursed mandates for overwhelming complex electronic medical record systems and their lack of functional interoperability, the emphasis on outcome-based reimbursements with insufficient funding for redress of the social determinants that affect the health of our patients.

We would love to see an annual Humboldt Del Norte Health Care Forum to educate and engage all community members in transforming the stability of our physician recruitment and improving our health care outcomes.

We hope that all of our physicians will be able to find a resolution that allows us to retain their skill, knowledge and service in this community.

Transitional Housing Editor: A big no to establishing a Betty Chinn Village on our Hikshari’ Trail (“Transitional Housing Project Moves Forward, Grand Jury Report Underscores Need,” July 4, 2019). One day, this trail will be one of the advertised tourist draws to our beautiful city. Not if we ugly it up with those hideous trailers, which have been an eyesore for two years.

world class critical migrating bird habitat.

Plus, the trailer site is on a filled in tidal marsh. That whole parcel should be used for establishing a wider Hikshari’ trail. That land should be a park, not an ugly trailer park.

I and many in this city want the Hikshari’ Waterfront trails to be the beginning of a extended waterfront greenbelt, from the Riverwalk in Fortuna to Trinidad. Look at the bad decisions made already to put fences on both sides of the trail as it goes past our fabled Marina Center. Put Betty Chinn land on the Marina Center, if we have to use those dumpy old white trailers. To eyesore our community further at that critical junction on the Hikshari’ Trail is wrong. No to the city council’s rushed process and no to that homeless camp on our Waterfront Trail.

Jack Kinnear, Eureka Editor: The Coastal Commission’s decision on the Chinn housing site on will take months, up to a year. Think about that.

The Coastal Commission was founded to preserve undeveloped coast. Shortly after I moved here in the early 1970s, the commission shot down a proposed hotel that would have loomed over Little River and I applauded that, and I still would.

Since then, the commission has expanded its mandate to include anything and everything even remotely concerned Continued on next page »

Incumbents Hold Large Cash Advantage in Supes Races

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

W

hen it comes to financing a supervisorial campaign, it sure is nice to be an incumbent.

That’s the primary takeaway from the first round of campaign finance disclosure reports filed with the Humboldt County Elections Office in advance of the March 3 primary, which will see five challengers battle a pair of incumbents for seats representing the county’s first and second districts on the county Board of Supervisors. The disclosures show both incumbents — Rex Bohn in the First District and Estelle Fennell in the Second District — entered the year with hefty cash reserves — money donated in prior years or left over from prior campaigns. Their challengers, meanwhile, generally seem to be struggling to bring in the donations needed to start purchasing advertising, signs and other materials, and in some cases have gone into debt or self-funded the initial effort.

The scheduled disclosures come under the California Political Reform Act, which aims to promote transparency by requiring donors and candidates to disclose who they’re giving money to and who they’re getting it from, allowing voters to take that into account and make informed decisions.

The law, passed in 1974, requires political candidates to regularly file Form 460s, which detail the fruits of their fundraising, including the name and address of each person or business that donated $100 or more to their campaigns. The forms give the public a glimpse into what industries and which people are funding specific campaigns, and how those campaigns are using their money to curry votes.

The first batch of disclosures for 2020 were required to be sent to the Elections Office on or before Jan. 23. As the Journal went to press Jan. 28, the office had received disclosures for six of the seven candidates.

First District

Bohn came into the year with a whopping $63,134 in cash in his campaign coffers.

(For the record, that’s more than four times what all the other supervisorial candidates reported having raised to date in 2020.) For the reporting period, Bohn reported having raised $3,688, with $2,550 of it coming via

eight donations of more than $100. The largest among those — $500 apiece — came from AM Baird Engineering, Richard Graham, Kimberly Cobine and Cynthia Olsen.

On the spending side, Bohn reported shelling out $9,655 for the period, including more than $4,700 on advertising with KINS radio, Senior News, KIEM TV and Bi-Coastal Media. He also reported spending $1,275 on graphics from MB Design and another $1,700 on campaign signs.

His cash on hand was listed at $57,166.

Bohn’s challenger, local radio personality Cliff Berkowitz, didn’t begin fundraising until the new year and reported having raised $5,020 in monetary contributions, with $4,600 of it coming via nine donations of $100 or more. Largest among those was $1,500 — the maximum allowable — from Pierson Building Center owner William Pierson, followed by $750 from Ken Miller and $500 apiece from Daniel Berger, the Humboldt County Democratic Central Committee, former Supervisor Bonnie Neely and Douglas McCraken.

Berkowitz did not report any campaign spending and ended the reporting cycle with $5,020 in cash on hand.

Second District

Like Bohn, Fennell is off to a hefty head start in fundraising. She reported entering the year with $39,380 in her campaign coffers and added another $3,478 during the filing period, with $2,800 of that coming from 10 contributions of $100 or more.

Largest among those was $600 from Johnny Casali, owner of Huckleberry Hills Farms, $500 from Dennis and Judy Scott and another $500 from Aaron Lieberman, who owns Paradise Valley LLC. On the spending side, Fennell reported paying $575 for print advertising in Senior News. She ended the reporting period with a cash balance of more than $42,000.

Challenger Michelle Bushnell, a business owner and rancher in Garberville, didn’t start fundraising until January and reported taking in $1,000 via a single donation from Diana Totten, who listed herself as being “self-employed by Clearwater Ag Solutions.”

Bushnell reported having spent $4,100 for the period — $3,200 for campaign signs and stickers and $900 for three “meet and Continued on next page »

greet” events. It’s unclear to whom these funds went to as Bushnell’s campaign listed itself under “payee” on the disclosure forms rather than the entities receiving the funds. It’s also unclear where the other $3,100 Bushnell’s campaign spent came from. Aside from the $1,000 donation from Totten, the campaign does not list any other donations or loans, but lists its ending cash balance at negative $3,100.

Challenger Sean DeVries, who identifies himself as a “parent” in campaign filings but indicates he has a background in small business on his website, also did not begin fundraising until January and reported raising $2,600, entirely through six donations of more than $100. Largest among those were $700 from Barbara Kennedy, $600 from himself, $600 from Bruce Will and $500 from Brett Todoroff, CEO of Humboldt Brothers.

DeVries reported spending $1,582 for the period, Most of that — $821 — went to the Humboldt County Elections Office for his filing fee, while another $700 went to printed campaign materials. He reported having $1,017 in cash on hand.

Challenger Michael McKaskle, who

identifies himself as a business owner and craftsman in Redway, did not complete the section of his form 460 indicating whether he began fundraising before Jan. 1 but reported raising a total of $3,100. The entirety of that sum came from three donations: $1,500 each from Paul and Ellen McKaskle, both retirees living in Berkeley, and $100 from Mark Sternfield of Redway.

McKaskle reported spending $2,210 for the period, with most of it — $1,761 — going toward his campaign filing fee and another $235 spent on campaign materials.

His campaign did not fill out the section of the form indicating cash on hand, but Journal calculations put the amount at $889.

The elections office had not received disclosure forms for challenger Rick French, identified as a retired water manager from Hydesville, when the Journal went to press. ● Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor and prefers he/him pronouns.

n the umpteenth sign that vaping illicit THC concentrates is a terrible idea, state officials announced Jan. 28 that tests conducted on a random sample of the more than 10,000 cartridges seized in raids of illegal dispensaries in Los Angeles last month yielded some alarming results.

Specifically, the tests found that 75 percent of the vape pen cartridges contained undisclosed additives, including vitamin E acetate, a thickening agent that federal health officials have linked to the rash of lung injuries that have hospitalized thousands of people, killing at least 60. The California Department of Public Health also reported finding a host of other undisclosed additives in the concentrates, including propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol and medium chain triglycerides.

“The prevalence of dirty and dangerous vape pens at unlicensed cannabis stores demonstrate how important it is for consumers to purchase cannabis goods from licensed retailers, which are required to sell products that meet state testing and labeling standards,” Bureau of Cannabis Control Chief Lori Ajax said in a statement.

While none of California’s vaping-related lung injuries to date have been definitively linked to tested products purchased from licensed dispensaries, vitamin E acetate is not a substance the state currently requires laboratories to test for and health officials have warned against vaping concentrates of any kind until further studies are completed.

But if you still want to throw your lungs out on the craps table by puffing from an illicit vape cartridge, the Department of Public Health’s findings also highlight other perils of the illicit market. Some of the concentrates tested that boasted THC content of 85 percent came in at just 33 percent, according to the department, and almost all were incorrect, with some registering as little as 18 percent, less than many of the flower offerings at local dispensaries. So you might permanently damage your lungs while getting not that high.

The findings came on the heels of a Jan. 23 proposal from state regulators to require licensed shops to post a unique black-and-white QR code in storefront windows that would allow customers to easily check whether dispensaries are licensed and selling tested products.

In the meantime, customers can go to www.cannabis.ca.gov/check_a_license.

Your lungs will thank you for the few extra minutes of due diligence. ● Bloomberg reported this week that the price of hemp biomass is plummeting amid a massive oversupply of the stuff used to make CBD products. According to the story, the biomass was fetching more than $40 a pound last summer but then the 2019 harvest came in, with production having more than quadrupled from 2018 in the wake of federal hemp legalization, and it’s now trading at less than $10 a pound.

In addition to the oversupply of hemp biomass, the story notes that the consumer CBD market “remains limited,” noting that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration prohibits the non-psychoactive extracts from being added to food or dietary supplements. The FDA also issued a stern warning last year (“FDA: CBDon’t,” Dec. 5), telling consumers that there’s data pointing to “real risks” of using the muchhyped panacea, especially for prolonged periods or in conjunction with other medications, and additional scientific studies are needed.

“Every way you slice it, the physical demand for the CBD market is much, much smaller (than the supply),” Julie Lerner, the CEO of PanXchange, which offers benchmark pricing indexes for the hemp industry, told Bloomberg. “I’m a little surprised that retail prices have not started to come down yet. There’s so much competition.”

Back in November, the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors indicated it would extend an existing moratorium on commercial hemp cultivation for another year amid concerns from the larger local cannabis industry that hemp crops could contaminate THC cannabis farms and create inequities in the industry. Nonetheless, there are at least a couple hemp farms in incorporated areas of Humboldt County that are unaffected by the moratorium and a variety of local businesses that manufacture CBD products.

County Climate Action Plan Plods Forward

I

n the aftermath of the Board of Supervisors voting down the Terra-Gen wind project amid dire global climate forecasts, many have been asking what Humboldt County can do to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and slow climate change.

Well, local governments are working on it and residents have lots of ideas.

The state is requiring every city or county to address the climate change impacts of projects that it approves. Local governments have the choice of doing this on a project-by-project basis or by creating a Climate Action Plan for the whole community that would enumerate the quantity of greenhouse gases being emitted and come up with plans to reduce that amount.

Humboldt County, in cooperation with its seven incorporated cities, is slowly hammering out a Climate Action Plan, complete with goals, policies and specific changes that could be made. Several workshops on the topic have already been held and some cities have created their own plans.

Most recently, a Jan. 15 workshop at the Wharfinger Building was jointly sponsored by the county Planning and Building Department and the city of Eureka. About 50 members of the public gathered to hear county planner Connor McGuigan describe what the local community can actually do in the next 10 years to meet or exceed state requirements for greenhouse gas reduction.

Several professional energy experts were on hand to answer questions.

The biggest cause of greenhouse gas emissions in Humboldt is transportation.

Livestock comes in second, with stationary heating — natural gas, propane or wood — coming in third.

Humboldt, McGuigan said, could meet or exceed state requirements for greenhouse gas reduction if the following steps were taken by 2030: • Install 526 public charging stations for electric vehicles. This assumes that by 2030, 10 percent of light-duty vehicles in the county will be electric.

• Install four hydrogen fueling stations.

through an onboard fuel cell, is a desirable fuel for large trucks, explained Schatz Energy Research Center senior research engineer Jerome Carman, because the trucks can re-fuel in a few minutes as compared to several hours for a conventional electric vehicle.

(The hydrogen is forced through a fuel cell, which creates electricity that runs the motor.).

• Require all diesel fuel sold in Humboldt to contain a 20-percent renewable diesel mix. McGuigan explained that renewable diesel, which is made from the chemical re-processing of vegetable oils and animal fats, is not the same as biodiesel and can be used in conventional diesel engines. The Northern Humboldt Unified School District, which provides transportation for many Humboldt schools, has committed to fuel their school buses with this mix.

• Construct 94 miles of bike trails and bike lanes.

• Require owners of new apartment buildings to give a free bus pass to each of their tenants. McGuigan estimated that this would result in 1,000 free bus passes by 2030.

• Require all businesses that employ more than 25 people to give a free bus pass to each employee. An estimated 21,000 Humboldt residents would benefit.

• Convert 2,300 gas and propane heating units to electric heat pump systems.

• Convert 2,300 gas and propane water heaters to electric water heaters.

• Require ultra-efficient commercial building construction, exceeding the standards of the California State Building Code.

• Install 600 new solar rooftop photovoltaic systems.

Doing all of the above, McGuigan said, would just meet state emission reduction goals. After he finished talking, people circulated the room and wrote their ideas on posters papering the walls.

Many of the public’s ideas were related to transportation. Free bus service, secure bike lockers at bus stops, Sunday bus ser-

vice for buses, more bike racks on buses, wi-fi on buses, more frequent service between Arcata and Eureka, replacing big buses with jitneys and vans and providing more service to outlying areas were all popular ideas. Also requested were cleaner, more attractive bus stops with shelters, seats, lights and real-time schedule signs.

A 55-mile an hour speed limit would save fuel, several people pointed out.

Other people were concerned with food production. Replacing lawns with gardens, establishing community gardens on old mill sites and establishing municipal composting were also popular ideas.

Planting more trees, both for carbon sequestration and to provide summer shade, was also suggested. Bike parking at all new multi-family and commercial developments would be helpful. Banning

single-use plastic and Styrofoam packaging was another idea. Several people reminded everyone that nothing could be changed until we become willing to simplify our lifestyles and, of course, reduce, re-use and re-purpose what we think of as waste.

McGuigan said he was trained to think only big government can find solutions to the climate crisis, but he now realizes that local governments — with their ability to make sensible land-use planning decisions, create and enforce good building codes, deal responsibly with waste, manage utilities and purchase renewable power — are an important part of the global effort.

More Climate Action Plan workshops are slated to take place this year, though dates have not yet been set.

Recruitment and Retention

Big raises in Mendocino could complicate local law enforcement agencies’ staffing struggles

By Kimberly Wear kim@northcoastjournal.com

H

umboldt County Sheriff William Honsal says he became more concerned about his office’s already pressed recruitment and retention efforts when he heard that Mendocino County supervisors were giving their deputies a significant raise.

Not that he begrudged the nearly 30-percent increase Mendocino’s deputies will be receiving over three years under a new contract approved in October.

Honsal says he knows his counterparts to the south took a 10-percent pay cut in the throes of the recession and haven’t had a significant raise in the decade or so since.

But the hike makes Mendocino more competitive in the already tight race for a dwindling pool of qualified candidates whom North Coast law enforcement agencies struggle to not only bring on board but keep — a trend mirrored across the country.

For comparison, — according to job postings — an entry-level deputy position in the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office starts around $46,000 to $51,000 while a new Eureka police officer can expect to make somewhere in the neighborhood of $55,000 to $66,000. With Mendocino County’s raise, a new deputy’s salary currently lands in the $52,000 to $63,000 range.

That doesn’t include benefits and certain incentives. For example, deputies in Humboldt County receive a $3,000 hiring bonus and another $3,000 after completing the probation period, while EPD offers a $5,000 signing bonus.

Over the last decade, applications for jobs in the field have plummeted nationwide, regardless of a department’s size or

Sheriff William Honsal has 17 empty deputy positions. Alexandra Hootnick location. Some attribute this in part to what has been described as an offshoot of the so-called “Ferguson effect,” a reference to the 2014 shooting of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown by a white officer in the Missouri city. Such incidents have led to increasingly polarized views about policing — which Honsal and others see as a contributing factor to why fewer people are looking to enter law enforcement.

There are also the long hours and missed holidays while working an intense job that on any given day could mean responding to a horrific incident or putting your life on the line.

Combined with high turnover rates, continuous retirements and a lengthy hiring process that can take nearly a year to put boots on patrol, Honsal says the raises in Mendocino are now just one more hurdle to clear as he tries to fill 17 empty positions out of his 85 deputy posts.

The sheriff went public with the situation earlier this month, saying in a statement that the county of Humboldt needs to take similar measures, while noting he has been talking with supervisors about ways to equitably compensate his office’s employees — from dispatchers to patrol deputies and up the line — for the level of responsibility their positions demand.

“It concerns me,” Honsal says of Mendocino’s more competative seat at the recruitment table. “We were already in a situation in Northern California where we were competing for a pool that was a tenth of the size that it was 10 years ago.”

Back then, Honsal says, his office might receive 100 applications for one position.

Now, he says, it’s basically the opposite.

“It is a struggle,” the sheriff says.

Right now, his deputies are pulling emergency 12-hour shifts and working on their days off in order to keep up with patrols. But that’s not sustainable, Honsal says.

“It does take a toll,” he says. “We ask a lot of our deputy sheriffs. It is a very unique position and the community doesn’t always know all the things they are doing on a daily basis to keep us all safe.”

Another bitter pill to swallow is having to return around $500,000 in funds slated for five positions — including resident deputies who live in the county’s far-flung communities like Shelter Cove, where without those posts response times can be measured in hours rather than minutes.

Honsal says he knows public safety and resident deputies, in particular, were major selling points for the half-cent sales tax measure approved by county voters in 2014 (as Measure Z) and a second time in 2018 (as Measure O). But he has no one to send at this point, so the money is going back into the pot for other uses.

“It’s frustrating for me,” Honsal says, noting how difficult it is to tell residents in those areas his office is not able to fill the positions. “It’s stuff that I think about every week.”

Others in a similar position can relate.

Eureka Police Chief Steve Watson recently weathered a “crisis stage” shortage of dispatchers to handle emergency calls for the city.

The precipitous drop in qualified candidates is reflected nationwide, he says, with “a lot of recent attention given to this issue over the years.”

“When you live in isolated, rural communities like Humboldt, these issues can become particularly acute,” Watson says.

He knows the scenario Honsal is facing because he’s been there — as has just about everyone else overseeing a local law enforcement agency in the last five to 10 years.

There’s the never-ending effort to recruit, the long hiring process that stretches months on end and, then, the frustration of getting officers in and trained only to watch them leave the profession or find a job closer to their hometown after a few years.

“It’s been a real battle and challenge, and it’s taken a tremendous amount of time and staff time, but we’re in a good place now ... but it’s a tenuous hold,” Watson says.

The chief points to a recent report by the Police Executive Research Forum, which surveyed more than 400 agencies ranging in size from five employees to more than 250.

It found that 63 percent reported the number of applicants had decreased over the last five years, with 36 percent describing the decline as “significant.”

The nonprofit’s synopsis of the survey notes the law enforcement field is facing a “triple threat” in the form of “fewer applicants, more resignations and a looming retirement bubble.”

To contend with the trend, the report recommends emphasizing service over excitement (for example, don’t show a SWAT team arrest in a recruitment video), offering training and opportunities for different specialties, building trust in the local community and finding ways to offer a better work-life balance.

So, while the North Coast is hardly alone in the staffing predicament, Watson says he sees taking an “outside-the-box” Continued on next page »

approach as key to addressing the issue of today’s reality, pointing to some recent ways EPD looked to solve staffing issues.

One of those steps — born in collaboration with former City Manager Greg Sparks and the city’s human resources department — was to freeze four positions last year to provide a 5-percent base salary bump for EPD officers and dispatchers. It was a move rooted in the department’s pattern of having an average of five vacancies at any given time.

Another was to create a “trainee class” for dispatchers, which allowed Watson to fill positions on the front end while giving the hires six months to pass a rigorous test for the frontline emergency posts.

That, he says, has allowed EPD to go from the “crisis stage” of being down nearly half of the 11 dispatch positions to having 10 filled, two by trainees.

Regardless, there always needs to be a “deliberate, purposeful effort to stay on top,” Watson says, noting he could lose someone at any time to retirement or a resignation.

He says he also believes “the negative national narrative” on policing has had an impact on the number of qualified candidates who apply, saying incidents like Ferguson have put a focus on “lawful but awful cases where maybe the use of force is significant or maybe someone loses their life, or those cases where the officer got it wrong or any time there is a misstep.”

From Watson’s perspective, the national media has not “balanced it fairly,” contributing to the profession’s not being “viewed with quite the level of respect that it once had.”

That, he says, has also added to issues

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Jan. 30, 2020 • northcoastjournal.com

with “employee wellness,” noting that suicide rates among officers is a “very real problem only made worse by the negativity out there.”

Law enforcement officers have long been considered at greater risk for suicide for several reasons, including the intensity of their work, a culture that too often views showing emotion as a weakness and ready access to firearms.

Blue H.E.L.P., a Massachusetts’ nonprofit, says 228 law enforcement officers — including those who have retired — committed suicide in 2019, the highest number since 2016 when the organization began recording the deaths.

In comparison, the Officer Down Memorial page reports 135 lost their lives in the line of duty last year, including accidents such as car crashes.

Compounding that is the changing nature of police work, with officers dealing more and more with societal issues such as homelessness and addiction, while also facing new laws that can impact their ability to respond, Watson notes.

That said, the Eureka police chief says he’s fortunate to live in such a supportive community and that engaging residents and continuing to build those relationships is an important part of his department’s job.

“We need good people and I wouldn’t shy away (from policing) if they feel a calling to help others,” Watson says. “It’s a very meaningful profession. There is not a day that I don’t have a sense of purpose and meaning.”

While saying raises like the ones in Mendocino and those Honsal is seeking here in Humboldt can have a “ripple effect across agencies … so there is this constant

stair stepping,” Watson also notes that pay isn’t everything.

“We’re trying to build a sense of family here, where people want to stay and that’s very important,” he says, adding that compromise is not an option.

“Recruiting the ideal candidate is not always possible but you also don’t want to lower your standards because your community deserves the very best,” Watson says.

Down south, Mendocino Sheriff’s Office Capt. Gregory Van Patten is hopeful the recent raise will make a difference. He says his office faces the same “constant battle” to recruit and retain, with many of its new hires coming out of the Bay Area region then returning back home after getting a few years of experience under their belts.

The increase, he says, does come after a deep pay cut years back, which was followed by no significant increases. But he says it was mainly the product of a comparison study commissioned by the county to see how Mendocino’s salaries stacked up to those in other labor markets.

“I think that kind of put the county on notice,” Van Patten says.

Supervisors down there came through with pay increases that will put not just sheriff’s office employees but other county workers within 90 percent of the comparative compensation rates over the next three years.

But that does come with a price tag.

Just for the current fiscal year, according to discussion at the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors’ meeting when the contract was approved, the across-the-board raises will add $5 million

ndulg

130 G Street • Eureka, CA 95501 • 707.445.2041 • thespaatpersonalchoice.com

to the county’s annual budget.

Van Patten agrees the North Coast recruiting pool is “really small” and has only contracted over the years, putting Mendocino in the position of basically becoming a “training ground,” with many recruits coming from nearby counties and leaving after three to five years.

“I think we’ll still see some attrition over the next year ... but hopefully some of those who come from Sonoma County might stay because of the pay. I think this will help with our retention.”

Like Watson mentioned, Van Patten says there is also an emphasis on creating a “positive work environment.” He notes that those who join smaller outfits like Humboldt, Mendocino or EPD are able to gain more real world experience — like crime scene investigation or witness interviews — which can help “accelerate their career.”

At a larger department, those tasks are more often “compartmentalized,” he says, with special teams called in to take over from the first responders at the scene.

Ultimately, finding someone who grew up in the area is ideal, not just because they are more likely to stay but also because there’s more of an “ownership” in the community, Van Patten says, noting he is “homegrown” and has been with the department full-time for 22 years.

Van Patten says he doesn’t imagine encouraging his two children to follow the same path after seeing all the changes that have occurred, including the perception of law enforcement.

Van Patten says law enforcement officers were “seen as credible” at trials based on the position they held when he first started, but over the years that has evolved to needing to have audio to back up their testimony and then body camera footage, which is still contested.

“It’s hard to stomach that,” he says, “but unfortunately we’ve had a couple bad apples that have tainted us.”

There’s also the basic nature of the job, which can mean facing the worst of society on a far more constant basis than most people.

“It’s challenging, the work we do and what we see. … It definitely has an effect on you over the years,” he says.

Still, at the end of the day, Van Patten says he “doesn’t see himself doing anything else.”

Meanwhile, Honsal is continuing to work to fill those 17 deputy slots but it’s a steep hill to climb. Even a candidate hired today would not be “out and fruitful” on patrol until May of next year, between undergoing the rigorous background check process, attending the police academy and finishing required on-the-job training

before setting out on their own, he says.

That’s one of the reasons the county is offering a $12,000 signing bonus for someone making a lateral jump from another agency, which would cut down the time from hire to patrol to just six weeks.

But, like Watson, Honsal says his office is not willing to lower its standards.

“We hold them very much to account to everything they do,” Honsal says of the sheriff’s deputies. “The job is very public and it is very important that they do the right thing every moment of the day, including off duty. … It’s a tough job.”

The responsibility deputies and dispatchers carry on their shoulders is a massive one, he says, arguing that they deserve to be compensated for the immensity of what they are tasked with each day on the job.

That is something Honsal says he has continuously communicated to supervisors, saying they have been “very attentive to this,” including authorizing a raise for emergency dispatchers in June.

“It’s something that is on their minds and they’ve been supportive,” Honsal says of the board.

Supervisors have approved conducting “a compensation and classification study” for the entire county, similar to the one done in Mendocino, that will “analyze how county employees are classified and compensated compared to their duties and similar positions at comparable agencies,” according to county spokesperson Sean Quincey.

“The county realizes how important it is to hire and retain qualified public safety employees and has consistently supported law enforcement in these efforts,” he wrote in an email to the Journal.

But Humboldt’s budget is not robust.

According to a seven-year forecast from February of 2019, General Fund expenses were expected to outpace revenue each of those years and be $20.5 million in the negative by the end of fiscal year 2023..

Honsal hopes the tide is turning. He says he’s thankful for the community response since coming forward and believes his office has worked hard to “build up a trust in our community.”

Since the announcement went out, the sheriff’s office has received at least 25 job inquires.

“By this time next year, we’ll have all the positions filled and then be on a good course to get to full staff,” Honsal says. l Kimberly Wear is the assistant editor at the Journal.

hen life hands the farmers and home gardeners of Humboldt too many apples, many hand the excess to Food for People.

Last year they donated some 57,000 pounds of excess produce and meat to the organization’s gleaning program, according to Food for People, which redistributed the food to people in need.

Some of that was produce that’s unsaleable — bruised or too ugly for market — and some is from bumper crops that just couldn’t be moved in time to remain fresh.

And some came from the backyard trees of folks inundated with more apples than they could turn into sauce, pies, jellies and crisps.

And so the nonprofit, which operates 17 food banks around the county, partnered with Humboldt Cider Co. to turn the bushels of apples it couldn’t store or send home with clients into a hard cider that will raise funds for the gleaning program. Starting Feb. 4, the cider producer’s taproom in Eureka will be serving pints of Cider for the People, with a portion of the proceeds going to Food for People.

“I’m always scheming ways to keep gleaned produce out of landfill,” says Alison Kenney, Food for People’s local food resources coordinator and gleaning coordinator. Every week, she organizes volunteers to pick up produce that might otherwise go to waste. “This year was really killer year for apples and we gleaned over 16,000 pounds,” she says. “Our clients

were taking as much as they could eat and there was still an abundance of apples,” more than it was possible to store. Carly Robbins, development director for Food for People, says the Choice Pantry facilities, like its largest at 14th and Summer streets in Eureka, have some refrigerated storage but not enough for all those apples. “We don’t want anything to go to waste and we have a vested interest in making sure nothing goes bad,” says Robbins. After all, it only takes one bad apple to literally spoil the bunch.

Kenney, who’s been in her post for about a year, had gone to a conference in Seattle where she learned about the Seattle Cider Co.’s partnership with an organization called City Fruit that promotes urban orchards. Seattle Cider Co. took some of the apples that weren’t fit for food banks but were still pressable and turned them into cider. “It kinda stuck with me,” she says, “and come September, when we had this crazy over abundance here at Food for People … I reached out to Humboldt Cider Co. and they were more than stoked.” She says the nonprofit is always working toward zero waste and has previously sent leftovers to a hog farmer.

The clients who visit the food pantries will always come first, she says, but now the fruit they can’t use will also drum up funds for the gleaning program.

Transforming raw fruit into cider isn’t as simple or speedy as turning lemons into lemonade, as Humboldt Cider Co. co-founder Michelle Cartledge explains.

FRONT ROW

“We generally do it by the ton,” she says.

“So when people come to us and say, ‘Oh I have a tree in my backyard,’ in the beginning that was awesome … but now we’re on a larger scale, we need to work by the ton.” The cider producer uses large-scale equipment at its Redwood Acres facility and there’s still quite a bit of manual labor involved, which makes working on very small batches impractical.

“We wash all the apples, we put them into a wash bin and remove them manually. Then we put them into an industrial grinder … the grinder reduces them to a pulp, basically a mush like applesauce,” Cartledge says. That pulp is then forced through a shining, cylindrical bladder press (far more serious than the backyard variety) that separates out the liquid to be fermented into hard cider. The leftover mush — anywhere between 500 and 1,000 pounds of it — doesn’t go to waste.

Instead, it’s either sent off to be used for compost or to feed pigs. The pressing, from receiving a ton of fresh apples to extracting juice, can take around a week’s work. After that, the fermentation time varies from six weeks to a couple of months, depending on temperature, the sugar content of the apples and the resulting activity of the yeast.

The cider makers made an exception and worked with the half ton of apples brought in by Food for People and spent eight hours pressing and 24 days fermenting the 70 gallons of juice it yielded. With Gravenstein, Golden Delicious and a mixed bag of locally grown apples, Cartledge says, “This cider has more of a yeast-driven, apple skin flavor [and an] unfiltered profile to it.”

The launch is set for Tuesday, Feb. 4, from 2 to 10 p.m. at the Humboldt Cider Co. Tap Room (517 F St., Eureka), when 10 percent of sales of everything on tap will go to Food for People. You will then be able to sample Cider for People there until the tap runs dry, with 17 percent of sales benefiting the very gleaning program from which the organization gathered the apples.

“This year was kind of a pilot for it and we got it going a bit late in the season,” Robbins says, adding that if the partnership works out, Food for People would love to do it again. So far, everyone seems up for another round. l Jennifer Fumiko Cahill is the arts and features editor at the Journal and prefers she/her.

Alison Bechdel, oldest of the three children, published a groundbreaking graphic autobiography of the same name in 2006, charting her coming-of-age and coming-out as she watches her parents’ marriage and her father’s life falling apart. The stage version, with book and lyrics by Lisa Kron and music

by Jeanine Tesori, won five Tony Awards in 2015 and the Ferndale production, directed

by Leira Satlof, more than does this challenging material justice.

The story is told in nonlinear flashbacks as the adult Alison (Molly Severdia) is creating the autobiography. It’s an engaging approach that allows us to understand how Alison experienced these different stages of her life as they happened rather than relying solely on memory.

Small Alison (Karsyn Hammer) is a tomboy who’d rather wear dungarees than dresses. With her brothers Christian (Paul VandenBranden) and John (David Hendrickson), she mostly revels in being a carefree kid, creating hysterical fake television commercials for the funeral home and exploring her creative side. But she’s also acutely aware that her high school English teacher father Bruce (Daniel Baer) can be spiky and unpredictable, and seems to love working on old houses more than working on building a happy family. Her mother Helen (Cynthia Martells), meanwhile, seems wrapped in a protective shell that she tries — not always successfully — to shield her children from certain aspects of their father’s life.

Medium Alison (Kiara “Ki” Hudlin) has escaped the confines of the Bechdel Funeral Home for the freedom of student life but is unable to fully escape her father’s desire to shape her intellectual life. She not only receives but also reads the many books he sends her, which serendipitously (deliberately?) included Colette’s lesbian fiction. As Alison begins to explore related literature, she comes to understand why she has always felt outside the norm of what her life had taught her to that point. In quick succession, she comes out to the Gay Union, her friend Joan (Sienna Anderson), who immediately

becomes more than a platonic friend, and (via letter) to her parents. She also begins keeping a journal, which complements and expands on the captions with which adult Alison is annotating the cartoon story of her life.

At this point, family cracks that have been pasted over for years begin to appear: Bruce’s secret trysts with Roy the babysitter (Keenan Hilton), late night wanderings, court-ordered visits to a psychiatrist for “furnishing alcohol to a minor” and Helen’s revelation that she has been living with and hiding this behavior since before they were married. But when Alison comes home from college with Joan for a visit, the cracked walls come tumbling down. During what turns out to be their final time together, Alison and Bruce are still talking past each other. Each has their own truths to face and to tell. But for different reasons, neither wants to listen to the other. All Alison wants to do is “make the fear in his eyes go away.”

Instead, he walks in front of a truck and dies.

Suicide or accident? No one will ever know.

The three Alisons each inhabit their roles completely: Hammer’s carefree tomboy is tinged with uncertainty and a vague sense of difference; Hudlin adroitly balances a growing confidence in her own self with a growing fear for what she may have done to her father; while Severdia is the consummate commentator, apart yet deeply embedded in the story. Baer is a commanding presence, hiding his fear behind unfeeling cruelty and dominance, and Martells’ Helen is a powerful and deeply moving portrayal of regret for a life unlived. Anderson is a compassionate, supportive friend and lover, Hilton treads a fine line between friend to the children and “friend” of their father, and VandenBranden and Hendricksen inject a welcome note of childhood innocence.

The musical numbers, under the astute direction of Judi Sharnberg, build on and expand the story, adding emotion, color and depth to an intense story. The musicians themselves — Amber Grimes, Rachel Huang, Carl McGahan, and Laura Welch — are concealed behind various layers of the wonderful set designed by Michael Charles Smith.

Technical direction by McGahan, costume design by Cindy Shepard, lighting design by Sydnee Stanton, sound design by Rebecca

Albee and properties design by Gwen Price are uniformly excellent. Stage management is by Elaine Yslas, assisted by Amanda Nash and the deceptively simple choreography is

by Cleo DeOrio.

Director Satlof, assisted by Ruthi Engelke, carefully peels away the layers of the story to reveal those invisible levels of complexity that make every family a different and unique experience. Recommended for mature audiences, Fun Home is a challenging work that’s an important addition to the local theatrical repertoire.

Ferndale Repertory Theatre’s Fun Home runs through Feb. 16 with Friday and Saturday performances at 8 p.m., and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. Call 786-5483 or visit www.ferndalerep.org.

anuary becomes February this week and it’s a leap year, so we get an extra day out of the month. It seems almost too much that 2020 is going to be just a little bit longer than most years, doesn’t it? Well, here we are. We are compelled by the calendar to go through the days so how about we have some fun?

Piece by piece, one week at a time.

Let’s go.

Thursday My favorite local wild man, freak-scene Cumbia band Los Dune Bums is playing a free gig this evening at the Depot tonight at 6 p.m. If that’s a little too early for you or you prefer your shows to be off campus, you can catch them tomorrow night at Blondies at 8 p.m. for the same price with a bigger bill. Word is that the fantastic soul/ funk duo Icarus and Sons will be joined by Disco Consultant and a host/emcee calling themselves The Grouch (not the famed Bay Area rapper, I assume) for an evening of dancin’ o’plenty.

Friday

2019 Subaru Outback IIHS Top Safety Pick.

Sondra Sun-Odeon is an experimental drone composer and songwriter from Brooklyn whose music can — like everybody else playing at tonight’s show at the Siren’s Song — be comfortably housed under the large, billowy and diaphanous genre known as shoegaze. She will be sharing the stage with Nayodel from Los Angeles and the recent Oakland-to-Arcata migrating duo Silence in the Snow at 8 p.m. I guess they really liked the place after playing here a few times over the last couple of years. Like most of the shows put on by the now itinerant Outer Space collective, this show will cost a sliding scale entry fee of $6-$20.

Saturday

The Joey Alexander Trio is helmed by a 16-year-old piano Jedi from Indonesia who has been pulling off Thelonious Monk memorizations since he was a small child in Bali. Having played for many elder statesmen in both the jazz and political world (including two U.S. presidents), the young master brings his music to Fulkerson Hall for a concert tonight at 8 p.m. ($66, $10 Humboldt State University students). The kid’s got six studio albums under his belt (as well as a Christmas E.P.) so I suspect that there will be no shortage of material on tap.

Sunday The Sanctuary is bringing back its free

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Jan. 30, 2020 • northcoastjournal.com

Casual Café Sunday morning gatherings. Today’s music will be provided by the J-Street Regulars featuring the talented guitarist/ tromboner James Zeller, bassist James Adam Smith, and guitarist Daniel Nickerson. There will be a bake sale and coffee and tea available. Doors open at 10 a.m., and lovely as this sounds, I think that I won’t have time to make an appearance, as I will likely be pre-gaming for the Super Bowl.

Although a part of me is quite taken by the idea of preparing to watch the 49ers stomp a mud wallow into the Kansas City Chiefs by sipping tea and listening to pre-war string jazz. Hmm, tempting.

Monday It’s quiet tonight but we are all officially in the 2020 primary season, as today is the Iowa Caucus. To commemorate this, I will now rate the democratic candidates by assigning music to represent each one.

This is (probably) exactly as scientific as the process of the caucus itself.

Bernie Sanders: Nilsson Sings Newman.

Timeless and good for basically everyone.

This is the best stuff that America has to offer.

Elizabeth Warren: Everything by Liz Phair after Exile in Guyville. It’s OK but one wonders what would have happened if Liz hadn’t abandoned the good ideas to chase a more commercial sound.

Pete Buttigieg: His campaign’s High Hopes song by Panic! At the Disco. It’s annoying, it was written by a committee and might be a government psy-ops project.

Amy Klobuchar: The “1812 Overture”

by Tchaikovsky except the cannon booms at the end are the sounds of a coffee cup bouncing off the walls in a conference room full of interns.

Tom Steyer: A Harry Connick Jr. holiday CD that Starbucks sold in the winter of 2006.

Joe Biden: Life in the Fast Lane by The Eagles. Except the lyrics are a spoken word with Joe Walsh and Don Henley trying to remember anything from the ’70s and ’80s.

Mike Bloomberg: The generic walk-on music that was playing during his appearance at the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York in support of the re-election of George W. Bush during the Iraq War. Andrew Yang: The theme song from the video game series Halo.

Sondra Sun-Odeon.

Tuesday

Black Uhuru, Duckie Simpson’s rotating cast of reggae and dub all stars is returning to Humbrews tonight at 10 p.m. The half-century-old project out of Kingston, Jamaica has seen many iterations and musical changes over the years, but like the rock of Gibraltar has remained a recording and touring monolith. The band always gets a pretty warm reception here behind the Redwood Curtain, and tonight should be no different. Belgian singer and frequent collaborator Onesty is still on the bill, as she was the last time the group came by to play for us. As it once was, so shall it be again ($30, $25 advance).

Wednesday Santa Cruz electronic bass music maestro Minnesota returns to Arcata for another night of crushing, high energy dance tunes. His Exit Reality Tour is stopping in the Art Deco bedecked Arcata Theatre Lounge tonight at 8 p.m., with support from fellow knob rollers Thook, Thelem and EASTGHOST. This one is usually pretty big with the summer festie crowd. Advance tickets are going from $15-$25 depending on the packaging. Boom.

Full show listings in the Journal’s Music and More grid, the Calendar and online.

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

Collin Yeo has been studying the paintings of Breugel the Elder, which as far as he can tell are the ‘Where’s Waldo’ posters of the Dutch and Flemish Renaissance. He prefers he/him pronouns and lives in Arcata, which is thankfully much less violent and almost as whimsical as 16th century Flanders. ●

EVENTS

Steely Pan

Taiko, Daddy-O

Can you hear the drums, Fernando? No doubt you’ve heard the melodic, buoyant tones of steel pans at the Arcata Farmers Market, perhaps transporting you to a tropical island or just filling you with good vibes.

Ah, pitched percussion. For that vacation-right-where-you’re-at sound, nothing beats it.

Pan Arts Network, the organization behind the 18-piece Pan Dulce Steel Orchestra you hear at the farmers market and events around the county, is celebrating 20 years of “bringing the sweet sounds of steel drum music to the North Coast” with a free Open House and Community Workshop on Friday, Jan. 31 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Pan Arts Panyard in Arcata. Stop by and see what type of classes are offered, learn more about the steel pans and their origins in Trinidad (no, not that one — the warm one) and hear some of the colorful, exciting sounds of this unique instrument. If you’ve ever wanted to pick up sticks and make those pans sing, the workshop at 7 p.m. is your rimshot.

People of all musical abilities and levels are invited to give it a try. The workshop will be taught in the traditional “rote” style of Trinidad and Tobago — where participants learn by ear and feel. During the open house, there will be performances by beginning/intermediate Pan Arts students and the Pan Dulce Steel Orchestra. There will also be light food fare. Rain or shine, anywhere there’s a steel pan band playing, there’s a party you want to be at.

San Jose Taiko’s Taiko Swingposium on the Road, a living history performance that tells the story of prisoners and musicians in the WWII Japanese American incarceration camps, is coming to the Bayside Community Hall this Friday and Saturday.

The Taiko Swingposium Immersive Theater Experience - Taiko Swingposium on the Road, strikes up the band Friday, Jan. 31 at 6:30 p.m. and Saturday, Feb. 1 at 2:30 and 6:30 p.m. at Bayside Community Hall ($10). The show is a 90-minute, 360-degree theatrical experience that recreates a dance in a prison camp mess hall, with live music by San Jose Taiko and the HSU Jazz Orchestra, and dancers and actors from Epic Immersive and local community. The scene is set and the story is told through taiko drumming and Big Band music. The dancers/percussionists move with big swooping arm gestures and dramatic drumming. They Lindy-hop to the beat, taking the audience back to when Japanese Americans survived inhumane and deplorable circumstances by finding joy in music, movement and community.

Audience members are encouraged to dress in period attire and join in the swing dancing, as they are part of the experience, too.

While entertaining and uplifting, the show also hopes to raise awareness about the connection between the World War II Japanese American incarceration camps and current migrant detention centers and family separation. That and how, as with this immersive performance, we are all in this together. You don’t want to miss it.

Tickets are on sale at www.brownpapertickets.com and at Wildberries Marketplace.

Tough Guy Act

My intensity level waiting for the bread to arrive.

The Gentlemen

The Gentlemen

By John J. Bennett

screens@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

THE GENTLEMEN. In case anybody was wondering, Guy Ritchie — when not occupied with middling, sometimes incomprehensibly conceived blockbusters (Sherlock Holmes and its sequel A Game of Shadows, 2009 and 2011; The Man from UNCLE, 2015; King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, 2017; Aladdin, 2019) — apparently still feels compelled to return to the well of his artistic beginnings. In a quick survey of my reviews of his recent work, it’s clear that I’ve spent already altogether too much time describing the importance of his first couple of movies to my nascent, if sometimes lamentable, cinematic sensibility.

Twenty years ago (hurts every time I put it into words), his seemed like a bright, brash, new version of crime cinema, all lurid lighting, oblique angles and smash cuts set to garage rock and Cockney rhyming slang.

I don’t think we were wrong to be taken by his work at the time; it was something different, tantalizing and fun. It synthesized its antecedents in the U.K. crime genre with seemingly unprecedented humor and confidence. But was it of substance? Well, that’s another matter altogether, isn’t it?

The brashness that defined Ritchie’s early movies has, with the passage of time, shown its seams — swagger being best left to the young and all that. While he has maintained some of the stylistic energy that we would have called his signature — along with the problematic model of masculinity that fuels it — he has, at least in the work, mellowed a bit with age. The camera moves a little less, the music is a bit more subdued, the scenes rather talkier. Despite these superficial changes, though, Ritchie is still apparently compelled by the glamorously seedy U.K. criminal underworld of his imagination. He’s visited this world over and again throughout his career with decidedly mixed results, and it has made me wonder whether he has (mistakenly?) decided that age has remade his cleverness as wisdom. The Gentlemen, while better balanced and ultimately more enjoy-

able than some past efforts, has about it an air of manufactured gravitas, a falsely humble self-importance that works against the fun and vitality without which it cannot exist.

Michael “Mickey” Pearson (Matthew McConaughey), a Rhodes scholar turned ex-pat turned ganja kingpin, feels the time has come to retire. His house is in order, his business mind-bogglingly lucrative; why not take it easy? He proposes to sell the whole works to a colleague/rival for an astronomical, if reasonably arrived at sum. Business being business, though, whether in the boardroom or the back alley, everybody wants a better deal. And so follow a series of strongarm attempts, double-crosses and murders very much in keeping with the Ritchie canon. By Mickey’s side, throughout, stands his most trusted lieutenant, Ray (Charlie Hunnam), from whose perspective the story is primarily told. Well, a word about that: The narrative actually unfolds in a series of flashes forward and back, framed by a conversation between Ray and a crumb-snatching private detective called Fletcher (Hugh Grant), who has been enlisted by the editor of a gossip rag to gather evidence for a public smear campaign against Mickey. Fletcher, being an opportunist, figures he might as well approach Ray with a blackmail attempt. Ray, being a mercenary, figures he might as well entertain Fletcher long enough to gather sufficient intelligence to squash the whole affair.

And then there’s a lot of background noise about Chinese pretenders to the throne, an upper-class heiress turned junkie-wastrel and some ne’er do well rudies from a well-known fighting gym. (It’s worth noting that Colin Farrell, as the beleaguered but very capable fight coach, fairly steals the show.) Not nearly enough time is devoted to Rosalind Pearson (Michelle Dockery), Mickey’s coolly ferocious better half and owner/operator of a forwomen-by-women tuner garage.

All accounted for, The Gentlemen, with its cheeky performances and customarily Continued on next page »

exciting costuming and action, succeeds as a British crime caper comedy, a feat in itself when the market for such things seems to have so markedly drawn back. And it is, to be fair, a better example of the genre than many I’ve seen. With its rather clunky narrative structure and its underwhelming climax-to-denouement, though, it might not be quite as significant or sophisticated as it thinks it is. Despite that and its occasionally miscalculated stylistic flourishes, it makes for a good time at the movies and represents, at least for the faithful, something of a return to form. R. 113M.

O

nce while wading in a little cove during a beautiful sunrise, I noticed a harbor porpoise swimming surprisingly close to me. And she had a tiny baby porpoise at her side. I’m guessing she had recently given birth and was in the safety of the shallows helping Junior learn to swim.

As I stood in awe, it occurred to me that the baby porpoise looked like an aquatic wiener dog. It was the size and general shape of a wiener dog, but with little flippers instead of stubby legs and an up-and-down tail rather than a side-toside wagging one. Since then I’ve thought of harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) as “wiener dogs of the sea” (Dachshund delmar). And I think of my mom’s dog as a “wiener dog of the couch.”

A few years after this personal revelation, tragedy struck. I found a young wiener dog of the sea washed up dead on the beach. I fell to my knees and sobbed uncontrollably. I pounded my fists into the sand and kicked my legs with such ferocity that my body heaved over and I landed on top of the poor animal’s putrid carcass.

I continued to writhe just like the wiener dog of the couch rolling on something stinky. Tragically, it ruined my best hoodie.

But even when fresh and alive, harbor porpoises are probably the least flashy of the cetaceans. Adults are smaller than the average surfer, they don’t do all the jumping and flipping like certain dolphins we know and their color is just subtle shades of gray over a white belly. They usually roll quickly to breathe so they only expose their back and dorsal fins. A lone harbor porpoise can be difficult to spot but I’ve occasionally seen them in pods of four or five.

The good news is that harbor porpoises are protected but not currently endangered. Humans, perhaps confused

by feelings toward their own wiener dogs, stopped slaughtering them by the thousands a couple of centuries ago. Now there are supposedly more than 700,000 of them in the ocean worldwide. And they are pretty common around here.

They occur just about everywhere along our coast. Convenient places to spot them include the entrance to Humboldt Bay and from Wedding Rock at Patrick’s Point State Park.

They feed mainly on small schooling fish such as herring and anchovies, but they aren’t too picky and will sometimes eat squid or octopus. They’ll feed near the surface or in midwater, or wherever the fish are. And they are known to dive deeper than 700 feet for up to five minutes if that’s what it takes.

One interesting thing that further distinguishes wiener dogs of the sea from wiener dogs of the couch is that harbor porpoises have to constantly hunt for these little fish. They have a narrow margin between catching enough to eat and having enough energy to hunt and reproduce. So, unlike wiener dogs of the couch, wiener dogs of the sea are not known to indulge in time consuming luxuries like scooting their butts along the ocean floor.

And unlike a wiener dog of the sea, my mom’s wiener dog of the couch is definitely overfed. Its legs no longer reach the ground, so it’s unable to get any exercise at all. I had the bright idea of attaching some little flippers to it and throwing it in the ocean for some fitness swimming.

But it just bobbed there like an angry cork until it drifted over the horizon. Unfortunately, my mom found out and I have to leave now because I’m in big trouble. ● Biologist Mike Kelly writes science-based satire as M. Sid Kelly.

LEGAL NOTICES NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF JEAN MARIE TOBLER CASE NO. PR2000012 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of JEAN MARIE TOBLER A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Petitioner DAVID ORCHARD In the Superior Court of California, County of Humboldt. The petition for probate requests that DAVID ORCHARD be appointed as personal representative to admin− ister the estate of the decedent.

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

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

A HEARING on the petition will be held on February 13, 2020 at 2:00 p.m. at the Superior Court of Cali− fornia, County of Humboldt, 825 Fifth Street, Eureka, in Dept.: 6.

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

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

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