May I remember to not know Circle upon circle spiral over spiral each day turns and the moon follows her cycle and the earth rotates unfolding a life.

This dawn light this October air this April sun are all familiar, but not quite.

The familiar tempts me to not look because I think I already see.

The ordinary tempts me to not wonder because I think I already know.

The simple tempts me to not listen because I think I already hear.

But this blush moment of being which cradles me like home is at once a vast horizon of unknowing.

May I remember not to know as the days unspool one upon another so alike I overlook their singular amazement.

In Praise of Bennett Editor: The movie review by John J. Bennett about the Hoover/FBI assassination of Black Panther leader Fred Hampton I found to be exceptionally well written (“Tragedy of the Inside Man,” Feb. 18). He gives us a little look into what our very recent COVID life weirdness has been as far as being unable to enjoy gatherings for music or movies. And it resonates with Black Lives Matter and reminds me of the late 1960s and the Bay Area student strikes and anti-war movement and the Panthers in Oakland and the Brown Berets.

Nostalgia for a time filled with some horrible things, yet still a time with hope for sanity and a brighter future that would never have included a creature like our recent failed “leader.” I look forward to being able to see the movie (in a theater?), and thank you for writing it.

Robert Fornes, McKinleyville

‘Rush to Judge’ Editor: I feel compelled to respond the letter written by Michael H. Morris in last week’s NCJ responding to my letter of the previous week (Mailbox, Feb. 18). Michael doesn’t fully understand what I said, but first, let me agree with him that an immediate temporary fix to the CRV mess is a stay of the law while those idiots in Sacra-

mento on both sides of the aisle get their acts together. I also agree with Michael on “smoke ads.” Take their money, both tobacco and pot.

I don’t buy either of them. By way of disclosure, I used to smoke both but saw the error of my ways.

Michael in his letter equates recyclables with garbage and why China wouldn’t want our garbage. However, recyclables are not garbage. Garbage has no value and goes to the landfill. Recyclables have value and are used as “raw materials” for making new beer cans and newsprint as oppose to mining and logging.

As for the FDA and the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, I didn’t propose the FDA rush to judgment but rush to judge. I write this letter on Saturday, Feb. 20, 2021, more than the two weeks after the FDA said they’d get to it.

Bill Connors, Eureka

Humboldt’s COVID-19 Mutation and What it Means

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

W

hen Humboldt County Public Health announced Feb. 18 that a new, never-seen-before mutation of the COVID-19 virus had been discovered locally, the news sounded alarming.

And it is. But not for the reasons most initially feared.

Due to vigilance and some luck, the virus variant’s spread was limited to a single assisted living facility, meaning it never entered the broader community, where its tendrils of transmission could have webbed. Instead, it was kept isolated and is believed to have died out, relegated to a blip in virus history. But the variant is also now one blip among many that combine to present a growing body of evidence that COVID-19 continues to mutate, to change, looking for ways, as viruses do, to become more infectious and effective, which in turn raises questions about the long-term effectiveness of vaccinations.

Since June, the local Public Health laboratory has been partnering with the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub, a nonprofit collaboration based in the Bay Area that’s doing genomic sequencing of the COVID-19 virus, sending the biohub positive local samples that contain a robust enough amount of

virus to be sequenced.

Late last year, Public Health Laboratory Manager Jeremy Corrigan told the Journal the partnership would help Public Health find links between case clusters to better understand local transmission patterns and also identify mutations. But he said the samples had to be packaged up in batches to be shipped to the biohub, which was fielding samples from all over, so it would take some time to get sequencing results back.

And that’s why Humboldt County is just now learning of this new variant, which has now been found in 16 local cases, all of them tracing back to samples taken at Granada Rehabilitation and Wellness, an 87-bed skilled nursing facility that was the site of a deadly and pervasive outbreak that began Nov. 25 and ultimately infected 100 people with 13 resident deaths.

Public Health Officer Ian Hoffman said Feb. 18 there is evidence to suggest the mutation made the virus more infectious, which may have contributed to its devastating impacts at Granada.

The surface of the coronavirus is spotted with proteins — known as spike proteins — that are made up of chains more than 1,200 amino acids. The virus infects Continued on next page »

humans when the tip of one of these spike proteins attaches to the surface of a human cell and transfers its genes into the human body, which then replicate and spread. Changes — or mutations, which can happen any time a virus is transmitted and replicates — to any of these amino acids have the ability to alter the virus’ behavior. And numerous mutations have been detected, with varying impacts.

The New York Times recently ran a story about scientists studying seven virus variants found in different parts of the country that all feature the same mutation, a change to the 677th amino acid, in a way that is feared to make the virus more effective in entering human cells. Then there’s the variant in the 452nd amino acid — known as the L452r Variant or the California Variant — that’s become a dominant variant throughout the state and has been found in at least 14 Humboldt County cases. (Scientists still haven’t determined whether this variant is any more or less contagious.) There’s also what’s been dubbed the B.1.1.7 variant that was first identified in the U.K. and has since spread to 62 countries, with some studies suggesting it may be 40 percent more transmissible than the standard variety. This variant includes changes to the 501st amino acid, as well as a constellation of other mutations, the combination of which is believed to be responsible for the increased transmissibility.

Humboldt County’s virus mutation is similar — containing changes to the 501st amino acid — but distinct from the others, according to Hoffman. The mutation is believed to affect the spike protein’s tip, allowing it to bind more easily and tightly to cells, potentially making it more contagious than the standard coronavirus.

“Given some of the laboratory studies that have been done around 501y mutations, it is highly suggested that it is stickier and can bind more to the receptors that allow the virus to enter the cells,” Hoffman said, adding that could be part of the reason the Granada outbreak spread so quickly and effectively.

Imagine it like walking through a field of burs. There are times of year when the tiny hooks covering the little seeds aren’t fully formed and you might end up with just a few on your pants. But when those hooks or little teeth are fully developed, they can come to coat your pant legs and shoe laces. The spike proteins are similar and it’s believed the mutation to the 501st amino acid is akin to developing those burs, making it more likely any human cells that come into contact with the virus will become infected.

But in Humboldt County’s case, this virus mutation occurred in a relatively

6

controlled setting — a skilled nursing facility — and didn’t find a host to carry it to the broader community. In a Feb. 18 press release announcing the finding, Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Senior Biosecurity Fellow Patrick Ayscue said that’s “remarkable.”

“It’s really a credit to the hard work of local Public Health and their partners,” he said in a release.

As Hoffman stressed in a media availability, there appears to be no ongoing risk associated with the newly discovered variant, as in the months since the Granada outbreak it has not been detected in any other Humboldt County samples.

The discovery does, however, add to a growing body of evidence indicating the virus is continuing to grow and change, sometimes in unexpected ways.

“The coronavirus reproduces inside our body and makes millions of new viruses,” Hoffman said. “Every time it makes a copy of itself, there’s a potential that it can make a mistake in that replication of the genetic code. Those sorts of mistakes can sometimes confer advantages to the genetics of the virus.”

Hoffman stressed that the tools needed to combat virus mutations are the same as those needed to combat the original virus: masking, hand washing, physical distancing and avoiding the intermixing of households. Slowing the virus’ spread reduces chances for it to mutate and change, eliminating its opportunities to grow more contagious and effective.

And, Hoffman said, that goes for people who have already been vaccinated, too, as a lot remains unknown about whether the vaccine prevents people from transmitting the virus or how long it remains effective.

While it is so far believed currently approved vaccines will be similarly affective against currently identified virus mutations and variants, more study is needed to be sure and there’s certainly no knowing whether they would be effective against future mutations and variations.

In the final question of the Feb. 18 media availability, the Times-Standard asked Hoffman if it’s likely COVID-19 — and its continued mutations — will be “here to stay” and vaccinations will require yearly boosters to protect against mutations and remain effective.

“Time will tell and studies will tell,” Hoffman said, “but I think that’s probably likely. l Thadeus Greenson (he/him) is the Journal’s news editor. Reach him at 442-1400, extension 321, or thad@ northcoastjournal.com. Follow him on Twitter @thadeusgreenson.

One Year Ago

Humboldt marks anniversary of first COVID-19 case

By Kimberly Wear kim@northcoastjournal.com

O

ne year ago on Feb. 20, the news came: Humboldt had its first confirmed case of COVID-19, which at the time had yet to be detected almost anywhere else in the nation.

The individual, who had recently returned from China, recovered after seeking treatment for flu-like symptoms at St. Joseph Hospital. When the test came back positive, Humboldt became the first rural county in the United States to have a confirmed case, according to the New York Times.

For hospital staff, it was a monumental moment.

“That’s when it was like, ‘OK, this can actually happen here,’” St. Joseph emergency room charge nurse Kristen Beddow told the Journal in December.

Exactly a month would pass before a second case, also connected to travel, was recorded. Soon, the first cases of community spread were identified.

In late March of 2020, Humboldt County was placed under a local shelterin-place order that shuttered all but essential businesses, sent students home to continue their educations under now familiar distance learning and brought life as most people knew it to an abrupt halt.

“We have to be proactive about limiting existing spread if it is here, or to slow it when it arrives on our doorstep if it’s not already here,” then County Health Officer Teresa Frankovich said at the time. “It’s critically important. We need to protect both our most vulnerable populations and our healthcare system.”

Meanwhile, county officials worked quickly to prepare. Frankovich and her team expanded Public Health’s ranks of contact tracing investigators to 30, established a 100-bed alternative care site and a testing facility in partnership with the state at Redwood Acres Fairgrounds and expanded the availability of personal protective equipment locally.

The Humboldt County Public Health Laboratory grew its testing capacity 10fold in a matter of months.

At the same time, local hospitals

planned to accommodate surges, ordering new ventilators, renting others and planning to convert operating rooms into intensive care units.

While a slow relaxing of restrictions began by May, the cases continued and a COVID-19 outbreak at Alder Bay Assisted Living brought the county’s first death.

Her name was Ida Adelia Newell, a lifelong Humboldt County resident with colorful connections to her community.

She died May 17 at the age of 97.

Three others would follow.

Another outbreak at the Granada Rehabilitation and Wellness Center led to 13 deaths, with 100 Granada residents and staff members testing positive.

Public Health this week announced that a never-before-seen variant of the virus, which appears to have been limited to the Granada outbreak, has been identified by genomic testing and it may have been more contagious.

As of Feb. 23, Humboldt County had confirmed 3,136 cases, with 133 hospitalizations and 33 COVID-19 related deaths.

There’s also been the economic toll.

Food pantries have been overwhelmed as people lined up for distanced drivethrough food box distributions, longtime local businesses have closed and Humboldt residents applied for unemployment benefits in unprecedented numbers.

Overall, when it came to COVID case counts, the region fared far better than its Bay Area and Southern California counterparts for much of 2020 until November, when, amid colder weather and the holiday season, Humboldt joined most of the state in the purple, or “widespread,” risk tier.

Except for a brief repass to the less restrictive red tier in January, that’s where the community remained until Tuesday, when the state moved Humboldt, Marin, San Mateo, Shasta and Yolo counties back down to the “substantial” risk zone, meaning some businesses can reopen for indoor service, including restaurants, gyms, movie theaters and places of worship.

North Coast Journal

At the one-year mark, there are some signs things are moving in a better direction.

The second to last week of February saw 85 COVID cases confirmed — the county’s lowest number since mid-November — which represents a continued decrease from January, when the county was confirming 200-plus new cases a week.

And vaccinations are underway for certain priority groups, including those age 70 and older, healthcare workers and school staff. As of Feb. 23, 26,278 vaccine doses — including both first and second injections — had been given to Humboldt County residents, according to a state database, roughly 12 percent of the total number needed to fully vaccinate the entire adult population locally.

County Health Officer Ian Hoffman told the board of supervisors Feb. 23 he was optimistic about where the county was headed and that the move to the red tier was “likely to stick.”

“We feel this is a much better position than we were in January when we made it into the red tier,” he said, noting that at the time case counts were very high overall and county just made it into the less restrictive tier by the smallest of margins.

Now, Hoffman said, those data sets are trending in a positive direction although hospitalizations rates remain high overall, which may be because Humboldt is “still seeing the tail end of the surge.”

But, as he also noted in a recent media availability, Hoffman said testing is down, a trend mirrored across the state and the nation, something likely attributed, at least in part, to people “getting tired of

the pandemic.”

On Feb. 23, he echoed the same call for people to continue regular testing, saying it was an important tool in controlling the virus’ spread, preventing another surge and staving off a return to a more restrictive risk tier, especially as businesses and more schools prepared to open and youth sports ready to gear up.

“We really want to encourage people to utilize that test,” Hoffman said, noting the most common form of transmission continues to be “from someone you know,” whether it is a member of the household or from gatherings.

While vaccine deliveries have been delayed by severe weather across the country and a national shortfall continues, Hoffman said the situation is expected to improve in the coming weeks and, depending on vaccine supply, the region could hit a point by spring or summer when there is no longer a line for a shot.

“We are making good headway,” Hoffman said.

He also took some time to recognize that one year has passed since news of the spread of the virus came to the world’s collective attention, bringing about profound changes to our daily lives.

“We all came together to avert disaster,” Hoffman said. “To protect lives and to protect our community.” l Kimberly Wear (she/her) is the Journal’s digital editor.

Humboldt Goes Red, Records 33rd COVID Death

F

or the first time since January, Humboldt returned to the red or “substantial” COVID-19 risk tier on Feb. 23, allowing some businesses to reopen for indoor service, including restaurants, gyms, movie theaters and places of worship, at reduced capacity. Other businesses — like retail outlets — can expand operations.

The state data shows the county with a seven-day average test-positive rate of 2.7 percent and a daily case rate of 6.3 per 100,000, compared to California overall, which has a 4.8 positivity rate and 15.2 cases per 100,000.

The new regulations were set to take effect at midnight Feb. 23.

Earlier the same day, the county reported its 33rd COVID-19 death, of a resident in their 80s, as well as a new hospitalization.

The county’s Joint Information Center reported Feb. 19 that the state Department of Public Health had released updated guidelines for youth and adult recreational sports, which allow some to resume with safety measures in place in counties with case relates below an average of 14 new confirmed daily cases per 100,000 residents. The measures are slated to take effect Feb. 26 and Public Health indicated it would be releasing additional

information and guidelines before then.

Vaccination efforts, meanwhile, continue to move slowly forward, with residents over the age of 75, healthcare workers, teachers and first responders currently eligible to receive their shots. In a press release yesterday, the Joint Information Center reported that the county is planning three large vaccination clinics this week to administer 2,500 doses — including 1,000 first doses and 1,500 second doses.

The clinics remain by invitation only and local officials urge residents to complete a vaccination interest form — available on the county’s website or by calling 441-5000 — to be notified when they are eligible.

To date, Humboldt County has confirmed 3,136 cases, with 133 hospitalizations and 33 confirmed COVID-19 related deaths.

The county dashboard lists 2,975 people as having “recovered” from the virus locally, though that just means they are no longer contagious and does not account for long-term health impacts, which local healthcare workers have told the Journal can be substantial, even in previously healthy patients.

ON THE COVER

The NCJ Quarantine Pet Photo Contest

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

B

efore we dive into the flurry of fur that is the NCJ Quarantine Pet Photo Contest, let’s get a few things straight.

First, all of the critters entered were, of course, very good boys and girls deserving of many treats and belly rubs, especially for carrying us through our isolation from other humans, sometimes by dragging us outdoors and offering constant companionship indoors. All animals were given equal consideration, whether they were pampered purebreds or raised in a barn. Photos from Journal staff members were disqualified from competition, despite my family’s parakeet Blueberry being an obvious winner.

I mean come on — she was photographed under a tiny, paper cocktail umbrella. That cruel miscarriage of justice aside, the competition was fair. There were allegations of cuteness-enhancing supplements and filters, but I think we can all

agree Mr. Pickles has learned his lesson. Full disclosure, the Journal’s pair of judges struggled to reach consensus, overwhelmed as we were with the brain-frying sweetness of sleeping puppies and impossibly chonky cats. Am I proud of how we handled the pressure of ranking tiny bunnies and baby goats? Perhaps not. There were disagreements, yelling matches, tearyeyed entreaties and what I’m told are “bullying intimidation tactics.” Sadly, there were no bribery attempts, which makes me wonder whether you pet parents out there really want this.

Nevertheless, while our working relationships may be irreparably damaged, we have fought our way to a group of top contenders and winners in four adorable categories: Cats, Dogs, Farm Friends and Small Critters. Behold their majesty and squee before them, these cuddly defenders of our sanity, these champions of quarantine cuteness.

ON THE TABLE

Under the Table

California allows people to sell home-cooked meals.

Humboldt does not.

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

A

year ago, the Especiales Meals and Catering Facebook page was flush with photos of stacked tamales and rows of enchiladas in foil trays. Co-owner Sherrie Bazan was taking business classes at College of the Redwoods, securing a business license and hunting around for a food truck and a commercial kitchen. And in the meantime, a couple times a month she was cooking up batches of Mexican food at home and selling it through Facebook. It was nothing new for the former head cook at South Bay School District.

She had a food handler’s certificate and had cooked for fundraisers for her son’s football team for years with no problems.

Around Christmas, especially, a day’s tamale sales might top out around $1,600.

Other days she might bring in $500 gross.

But a couple months into it, Bazan says, someone posted a comment asking if she was licensed. Soon after, she got a call from the Humboldt County Department of Health and Human Services telling her the business wasn’t legal. She was let off with a warning but told there’d be a fine next time. “I didn’t even know you weren’t supposed to do that,” says Bazan, who’d seen similar businesses operating above board elsewhere in California. She shut it down.

California passed Assembly Bill 626 in 2018, allowing licensed home microenterprise businesses to prepare and sell perishable meals direct to customers, with the stated intention of helping home cooks and professionals profit from their skills without the prohibitive expenses of a traditional restaurant. During the pandemic, both amateurs and laid-off restaurant workers around the state have taken advantage of the option. However, the law leaves counties and cities to determine whether they’ll authorize such operations.

Humboldt County has opted not to allow these home food businesses, which means (with the exception of those operating on tribal lands) folks regularly selling home-

cooked meals on social media and elsewhere are operating under the table.

Humboldt does permit home-based cottage food operations in two classes: Class A businesses can sell directly to customers and those with a Class B permit can sell to third-party retailers. Both are limited to “certain non-potentially hazardous foods, meaning low risk foods that do not require temperature control to limit pathogenic microorganism growth or toxin formation,” explains DHHS spokesperson Christine Messinger. For example, bread and preserves are fine, but lasagna, which would be dangerous if left unheated or unrefrigerated, isn’t. Along with registering with the Department of Environmental Health and getting a business license, a Class A business also has to follow a self-certification checklist of California Health and Safety Code rules. These include taking a food handling course; keeping all equipment and surfaces sanitized; keeping the work area free of insects, rodents, smoking, children under 12 and pets; and not simultaneously using the kitchen for cooking for yourself or your family.

That lasagna — involving handling raw meat and dairy, and safe refrigeration and cooking temperatures — carries greater risk of food-borne illness like listeria and E. coli, for which restaurants and commercial kitchens are subject to regulations and inspections. According to Messinger, the county’s decision to nix home kitchen operations is grounded in concern over consumer safety.

“The numerous CalCode exemptions related to Home Kitchen Operations do not afford the same oversight and protection to our community,” Messinger writes in an email to the Journal. “Thus permitting and oversight of this program would create a true public health risk.”

It’s a decision she says is backed by

the Health Officers of California and the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors, among others.

Running an illegal home kitchen is hardly Humboldt’s most perilous black market venture but there are risks. According to Messinger, “Continuing to operate is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not less than $25 or more than $1,000 [per day], or by imprisonment for not more than six months, or by both fine and imprisonment.” In 2020, only two operations were shut down by the DEH, Catering by Cap and another without a business name.

For a few weeks, Razel Tarantino was delivering ramen kits: boxes of noodles, broth and toppings to be assembled at home. He says he only planned to sell to his friends on Instagram, just small batches cooked in an apartment kitchen, but word got out. He’d been working in restaurant kitchens for years and, after 10 months of unemployment, the money helped a little and “cooking for people itself felt good.”

Other friends from the industry, he says, had been boxing up batches of food to sell on Instagram, too.

Tarantino admits his setup was not ideal. Aside from the equipment and limited scale, “With roommates coming in and out, it’s not an environment I can control.”

He says he didn’t feel comfortable operating without a license but a break-in sealed the end of the enterprise. “It got trashed and I got very disheartened and felt it was a sign. … I’m hoping to do it again soon but just making sure I can do it in a safe environment,” he says. “If I’m gonna do it, I may as well do it properly.” For now, he’s found a couple restaurant gigs in Arcata to keep him afloat.

Commercial kitchens are in short supply in Humboldt. There are none to be had at Redwood Acres at the moment and all the solo spaces at Arcata’s Foodworks Culinary Center — even the ones with only sinks — are taken. Foodworks might have a few hours in a shared space for you if you’re good to work only nights and weekends.

Bazan was looking at a space for Especiales at Redwood Acres just as the county was moving in its testing center and hospital surge facility, but even that would have required investing in a new range hood, which typically costs about $20,000. Seemingly against all odds, she recently found a commercial kitchen at the Mountain View Village apartments in Fortuna. It’s $850 per month and it’s a hike to get food to her established Eureka clientele but, she says, “I know that it’s going to be worth it.”

Finding a truck is the next challenge for Bazan, who’s also expanding her menu to include Puerto Rican picadillo, Cuban ropa vieja and Salvadoran pupusas. “I kind of want to do a twist with other Latin food,” she says, adding she’s looking to pull in some Asian-influenced dishes from members of her family. In that way, Especiales will still feel like home cooking even if its cooked in a commercial kitchen and served from a food truck.

“When you’re cooking all together,” she says, “you get something different.” l Jennifer Fumiko Cahill (she/her) is the arts and features editor at the Journal.

Saving the Discovery Museum

By Iridian Casarez

iridian@northcoastjournal.com

W

ednesday afternoon was their scheduled weekly supervised visit with their mom; every week they’d come into the same room with the same books and toys, while I sat on an office chair at the door jotting down notes. Before I became a staff writer at the Journal, I worked with Humboldt County youth at an afterschool program, a summer camp and at the foster care agency. Some of my job included monitoring supervised visits like these.

“Mom played with daughter. Mom engaged in a conversation with her son and asked him about school. Mom brought snacks. Mom read a book to them.”

But today the little girl was tired of being enclosed in the same room. She let out a massive sigh and asked her mom if they could go next door to the Redwood Discovery Museum. Her mom looked at me since I was supervising and, of course, I said yes. I was just as tired of sitting in the same spot.

The girl jumped up and rushed toward the door, hopping and asking her mom if they could play in the interactive science museum’s water tank. She was excited to head into the vast space filled with toys and hands-on exhibits, and I couldn’t blame her. When parents and kids are stuck in a tiny room week after week, their interactions become limited and bounded by the same four walls.

The supervised visits at the Redwood Discovery Museum were so different, more engaging and playful. I’d watch families try to figure out museum exhibits together, cranking levers to see what happens, riding the stationary bike until it created enough energy to power the stoplight.

I learned about the museum when my partner Jeff was offered a job as a Pal Camp counselor in 2016. Since then he’s continued to work for the Redwood Discovery Museum and it’s become a part of my life. I’ve worked a couple shifts there when it was short-staffed and I’ve

volunteered at fundraisers and events, as well as the occasional supervised foster agency visit.

I’ve always thought how lucky Humboldt County is to have it as a rare indoor space where kids can play and learn about science and boost their confidence all in one.

In a presentation about the Redwood Discovery Museum, there’s a slide titled “The Power of Play” that reads, “Play provides a singular opportunity to build the executive functioning that underlies adaptive behaviors at home; improve language and math skills in school; build the safe, stable and nurturing relationships that buffer against toxic stress; and build social-emotional resilience.”

When you walk into the museum’s play area you see a grocery store set up with all kinds of toy fruits and vegetables, canned goods and other grocery items meticulously organized into specific categories.

If you walk farther into the museum, there are interactive exhibits that teach kids about gravity, physics and energy. It’s like a fun introduction to STEM activities, something I wasn’t exposed to until I was probably in middle school. And every day the museum is open, especially on rainy days, kids are interacting with other kids, which helps them develop social skills.

It’s a wonderful, fascinating space.

The Redwood Discovery Museum also tables at events like Family Makers Night, the Math Fair and the Fish Fair in Hoopa. That was Jeff’s job when summer camp was over. As the outreach specialist, he’d have a table covered with different science-based activities for kids to try, like a kit to make fossils at home, popsicle catapults, stomp rockets.

The 25-year-old museum also hosts one of the many First Five Humboldt playgroups, where parents connect with other parents and get support and kids meet other kids. And, of course, the aforementioned Pal Camp that’s been around for 70 years — there are grandparents and counselors who were once campers, directors

who were once counselors.

One summer when I was working at the museum, a woman who’d brought her grandchild told me that as she was cleaning out her garage, she found a clay handprint her daughters made at the Redwood Discovery Museum when they were younger. She was delighted to see that the museum was still around to bring her grandkid.

My family moved around a lot when I was younger, so I don’t have many ties or memories of a single place that I could go back to. So it’s phenomenal to see that the museum has been around for so long to be an intergenerational experience for this one family.

But the museum and all its programs are in jeopardy.

Much like other small businesses, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating impact on the museum’s budget. With the closing of interactive museums and shelter-in-place orders, people canceled their memberships and all special events and fundraisers were canceled. Eventually, with a COVID-19 protocol plan in place, the museum was able to open summer Pal Camp outdoors only but it was different and felt strange.

According to the Redwood Discovery Museum’s executive director Grace Hamaker, the museum has seen revenue decline more than 37 percent in the last year.

It was Jeff’s first year as camp director, which meant that he and Hamaker oversaw all the preparations for COVID-19 protocols and had to make sure that the staff were equipped with personal protective equipment and that everyone followed all the social distancing guidelines while trying to give campers a full Pal Camp summer experience.

I could see the devastation on Jeff’s face when he came home, sometimes wondering if the kids were having fun.

Campers had to stay 6 feet away from their friends and couldn’t share anything.

The year went without weekly sleepovers

and potluck dinners, trips to Freshwater Park, games of capture the flag or morning flagpole, where the entire camp would come together to sing camp songs and welcome the day.

To me, Pal Camp had lost its adventurous feel and become more of a glorified outdoor daycare. The only reassurance I was able to give Jeff was that at least the kids were able to be outside and see some of their friends — I’d then think about the kids who didn’t have the same opportunity or a space like that.

The museum currently provides science kits for parents to pick up and has opened a preschool for a limited number of children. Hamaker told me that the preschoolers are learning about plant root systems and using pipettes for science projects. It’s bringing in revenue until it can reopen to the public but it’s still struggling.

I’m asking you to help save the Redwood Discovery Museum. With its annual Perilous Plunge fundraiser — one of its biggest revenue sources — coming up, I’m asking you to sponsor the museum, support a plunger or simply donate whatever you can to help keep the museum open.

If the Redwood Discovery Museum doesn’t survive this pandemic, there’ll be one less safe space for Humboldt County families, for the foster kids that visit their parents in the same room week after week, for the summer and spring break camps, for the parents who bring their toddlers to playgroups, for parents who get support at the playgroups and for staff members who want to be a positive person in a child’s life. And that’s too important to let go.

Humboldt County kids need to learn and have fun. It’s too important and it needs your help. l Iridian Casarez (she/her) is a Journal staff writer. Reach her at 442-1400, extension 317, or iridian@ northcoastjournal.com. Follow her on Twitter @IridianCasarez.

I

have spent every spring since seventh grade involved in track and field, well over 50 years — a life of studying forward movement through running, teaching, clinics, clinician and graduate study — a lifetime study of coaching.

We are all aware of the benefits of forward movement including heart strength, muscle strength, chronic disease control, and blood pressure and weight control.

Some people with disabilities cannot walk but movement of any sort is beneficial.

For most people, walking can be accomplished safely during a pandemic. It can be done almost anywhere. You can listen to music, you can walk safely with friends or it can be a great way to mediate quietly.

It isn’t running. One foot is always touching the ground and almost everyone at almost any fitness level can benefit from starting a walking regimen. Most of us already walk quite a few steps daily, so here are some things to consider to make the most of them.

Walking with improper technique radically reduces the effectiveness of your time and can cause other problems. Good walking includes staying upright, arms just slightly crossing in front of you, hands no further back than hips on the downward swing, not swinging the body from side to side. Lift your heels a little bit higher than you usually do (think about stepping higher than the opposite ankle sometimes) for a nice, full-body movement.

Walking at a brisk pace has more benefit than walking slower but there are still benefits either way. The idea is stick with it, setting realistic goals. Try 10,000 steps

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Feb. 25, 2021 • northcoastjournal.com

a day or maybe 45 minutes as a standard goal. Can you do three 15 minutes walks instead of one 45-minute walk? You can but the aerobic (steady higher heartbeat benefits) will not be as strong.

Older people often shuffle along with short strides and lots of arm movement.

This is often due to a life of using primarily the calf and quadriceps when walking.

The hamstrings lose strength as they are underutilized. Concentrate sometimes on the hamstrings to keep things in balance.

One trick is pinching your glutes. Concentrating on pinching the cheeks will show you the difference in the muscles used.

Hamstring extensions are, of course, a great supplement, too.

I could sometimes pick a potential track athlete out on campus by observing them walking in the halls. Toe walkers, bouncing off the balls of their feet, are exercising all day long. I would approach a kid like that and talk about events such as long jump or high jump. Think about using your toes a little more for calf strength. Think about walking on the moon, with a little spring.

Another thing I believe in is uphill running and walking. Some experts caution against it but I have never understood why. It is easier on the shins, it’s harder work and more aerobic. If you come downhill softly (almost like you are sneaking up on someone) it will protect your knees and shins. Running or walking uphill efficiently means that you keep your body parallel to the ground and barely lean into the hill. When you lean in, you compromise form and rely on the back instead of the hips and legs. Also, when on

the hills, make sure you do some backward walking, pulling yourself up the hill with the hamstrings, not the quads or calves.

Try to reach way back with your steps and pull. It’s great exercise and you will feel it.

Remember, no noise on the downhill.

Throw in some power walking now and then, faster than comfortable. Power walking is like race walking, using your entire body and arms to move you forward. It is hard but different from running. If you have ever seen a walking race it looks silly but is a great overall body exercise.

This does require some twisting but the movement is forward. And again, one foot always touches the ground.

When walking for exercise, time the walk in minutes instead of worrying about mileage. It’s easier psychologically. An example routine would be 15 minutes the first day, then 20 and 25. Then drop back to 20 minutes again, then 25, then 30. Keep this routine until you reach your time goal, say 45 minutes.

Here’s a good beginning recipe for a walking routine: Just start walking in a good pair of shoes concentrating on form.

Add minutes moderately.

Toss in a generous amount of hills.

Heat it up occasionally with race walking.

One part extra bounce.

Maybe adding some lunges or a little running for some extra spice.

Add a pinch of cheeks. l Rod Kausen (he/him) is a retired teacher and coach.

FISHING THE NORTH COAST

Now or Never for Coastal Steelhead Season

R

iver conditions are trending toward perfection this week and it’s pretty much now or never for the 2021 winter steelhead season. In what has been called one of the toughest seasons anyone can remember, if the next week or so doesn’t produce some quality fishing, it’s likely the season will go down as a bust. There are plenty of theories about why the steelhead haven’t returned in big numbers but nobody knows for sure. With a little more than a month left in the season, there is time for a resurgence. And if there was ever a time, it would be this week. Conditions on just about every coastal river are — or soon will be — pristine. We’ve had a few “Miracle Marches” in the past and it’s looking like we’re going to need another.

Weather ahead “We’ll have a few opportunities for light rain in the next few days,” said Kathleen Zontos of Eureka’s National Weather Service Office. “The six-day rainfall total, which goes through Monday, is showing less than a tenth of an inch of rain. There is a chance for some rain on Sunday and Monday, but there’s quite a bit of uncertainty right now. If the high pressure moves, we could see some rain.

But right now, it looks like most of it will land more to the north. The Chetco is showing a slight increase in flows starting on Monday, March 1. If we do get some rain, it will likely have little impact on the river flows.”

The Rivers: Smith River

The Smith is dropping quickly and is clear, running right around 6,000 cubic feet per second Tuesday. According to guide Mike Coopman, the fishing has been really tough. “We’re getting one to three bites per day,” said Coopman. “There just doesn’t seem to be a bunch of fish around right now. The fish we are catching have been on the small side, running 5 or 6 pounds. I’m hoping we see some fish show up like they did last year in March.”

Chetco/Elk/Sixes

“Despite perfect green water, the Chetco is fishing slow after the latest series of storms, with steelhead few and far between,” said Andy Martin of Wild Rivers Fishing. “Half a dozen boats managed just a handful of steelhead on Monday, even though conditions were good. Plunkers had even fewer fish. Spawned out steelhead should appear in the slower runs as the water drops but steelhead fishing likely will continue to taper off in the next few weeks.

The Elk and Sixes also have been slow, but have a few steelhead around. The Rogue River is the best bet, with fair fishing.”

Eel River (main stem)

Running at 8,000 cfs as of Tuesday, the main Eel is starting to get a green tint but is still big. Flows are predicted to be around 5,000 cfs by the weekend. It should be in prime condition next week.

Eel River (South Fork)

The South Fork dropped down to a fishable level Tuesday, as flows were right around 2,000 cfs on the Miranda gauge.

That’s still a little pushy but the color is good. Fishing is still tough, with boats reporting up to a couple fish per trip. Lots of zeros, as well. River conditions should be good through the weekend.

Van Duzen

The Van Duzen was running right around 1,000 cfs Tuesday and is starting to get some nice color. Flows are predicted to be down to 550 cfs by the weekend and could be a good option.

Mad River

The Mad was still high and off color as of Tuesday. Flows were 3,200 cfs and predicted to be down to 1,700 by Saturday.

According to Justin Kelly of RMI Outdoors, it won’t likely turn green until either Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. Most of the fish being caught are coming just below the hatchery by the liners. l Read the complete fishing roundup at www.northcoastjournal.com.

I Care a Lot

Ruthless and Rootless I Care a Lot and Nomadland

By John J. Bennett

screens@northcoastjournal.com I CARE A LOT. There has been a movement afoot, particularly in the last 20 years or so, among creators and critics in advocacy of the unlikable protagonist.

And it makes sense: From a storytelling standpoint, exploring the vague borders of personality in order to subvert the dominant hero/villain paradigm can be a deeply satisfying thought exercise. In terms of modern/feminist/progressive criticism, flouting the convention of pleasantness as a measure of worth serves as part of the greater work of widening the lens of acceptability and validity through which we view art, whether it be “serious” or “popular” (although part of the same work lies in removing that distinction).

Philosophically, I’m all for it. I tend toward the dark places anyway and I admire the challenge of creating a compellingly nasty character/narrative. But there’s the rub. The work has to be compelling, the character (or characters) realized enough that we care about them, or at least want to see what they get up to in spite of our aversion. It is a delicate balance worth striving for and, ostensibly, the aim of J Blakeson’s I Care a Lot, which never quite pulls it off.

Marla Grayson (Rosamund Pike), she of the perfect haircut, great clothes and

mirthless smile, would be the unlikable protagonist in question. A grifter and, from the evidence presented, something of a sociopath, Marla is uninterested in not being rich; she tells us this much in an unnecessary bit of opening narration.

And so, making use of her innate avarice, her skill as a manipulator and the cooperation of a like-minded doctor (Alicia Witt) and care-home administrator (Damian Young), as well as a seemingly unwitting, well-intentioned judge (Isiah Whitlock Jr.), she conspires to force elderly people out of their homes under the false flag of her role as a court-appointed guardian.

She then dissolves their assets, separates them from any family members who might get wise and, one assumes, literally laughs all the way to the bank. Along with her partner in life and crime Fran (Eiza González), Marla has built a thriving enterprise and amassed a small fortune, but it isn’t enough. So when Jennifer Peterson (Dianne Wiest), a recent retiree with significant wealth and no inconvenient hangers-on, appears on her radar, she becomes an obvious target. And when Jennifer’s holdings turn out to be much more titillating than bank accounts, Marla Continued on next page »

finds it positively delicious.

But of course nothing is quite so simple, and Jennifer turns out to be connected to a self-described “very dangerous man” (Peter Dinklage) who is deeply concerned both about her welfare and the purloined assets formerly in her possession. And so follows an increasingly implausible, unfortunately shallow cat and mouse game played, on both sides, by people it is basically impossible to like.

I Care a Lot is undeniably stylish and better put-together than it could be, but that minor elevation serves more to suggest what might have been than to actually add to what is. The scenario is strong and the cast admirably committed to it, but as the “real-life” implications of a con artist caught by a murderer start to unfold, the verisimilitude of the movie falls apart. It is neither gritty nor cartoonish enough to justify its minor mistakes nor the suspensions of disbelief and leaps of logic necessary to stick with the story.

Further, it is never as nasty as it and its characters would pretend to be. Annoyingly unlikable? Sure. Frustratingly promising? Definitely. R. 158M. NETFLIX. NOMADLAND. There is some small, simple poetry in the idea that this, the latest from Chloé Zhao (The Rider, 2017; Marvel’s Eternals, TBD) would be perhaps the most talked-about, awards-contending movie of 2020. That’s partly because it is an artful work of small, simple poetry itself, but also because it is about a uniquely American strain of isolation: a social disease bred and broadcast by the centralization of wealth, the destabilization of community and the lack of institutional support available to many of those in need. And there is something appropriate in its timeless, prescient vision of loneliness, as well as the fact that now, a year or more after it was screened at festivals, it has been unceremoniously released on one of the least noisy streaming services.

As to the work itself, Nomadland is as good as everyone has been saying. It comes from a deceptively simple school of character-based verité, relying on the small stuff of lives lived for its drama and raising them up with careful focus and painstaking technique. The movie presents itself as almost formless, and it is a testament to Zhao’s light touch and visual sense, both as a director and editor, as well as to Frances McDormand’s devastating, sweet, often very funny performance, that the story feels warm and lived in, instead of meandering or distant. R. 107M. HULU. l John J. Bennett (he/him) is a movie nerd who loves a good car chase.

Dark Skies of the North Coast

By David Wilson

ncnightlights@northcoastjournal.com

T

his time of year sees its share of gray skies, a seemingly endless woolen rain blanket drawn across the heavens — the gray that won’t go away. Rain patters the skylight as I type and I dream of summertime ...

On a warm, clear night, it’s not uncommon for people to drive a few minutes out of town to enjoy our dark skies. Night is no reason to stay in, for how else would one see the stars? It is said, and I’ve experienced it, that spending time in the forests is rejuvenating; time spent beneath the stars is similarly rewarding. To go out at night and look deep into the cosmos is to find your place in the universe. How many poems, songs, works of art and prayers has the night sky inspired?

Rural California’s North Coast region is blessed with an abundance of dark skies, as the relentless growth of the country’s population centers hasn’t yet impacted our nighttime surroundings with their formidable glows. Yet even in the hills, one may see in many of our vistas flares of light dotting the landscape from distant towns or remote industries. Is encroachment of light on the sky and the destruction of our view of the stars inevitable?

No. It’s not inevitable. There are many ways for individuals, communities and agencies to minimize the amount of light that spills into their surroundings, onto our neighbors and into the sky from cities,

businesses and homes.

Some communities have taken it upon themselves to preserve the night sky. In Arizona, Flagstaff boasts of becoming the world’s first “International Dark-Sky City” in 2001, as recognized by the International Dark-Sky Association (www.darksky.org).

Using light fixtures that prevent the spill of light into the sky or onto one’s neighbors’ properties and using warmer color temperature lighting are among the simplest techniques used to greatly reduce city glow into the sky. Even people who never look at the sky can be happier without unnecessary glare intruding on their bedrooms from their neighbors’ unshielded lighting.

Visit Flagstaff’s Dark Sky page for lots of information on how the city did it and why: www.flagstaffdarkskies.org.

While California’s North Coast doesn’t contain any locations officially designated as Dark Sky sites by the International Dark-Sky Association, our remote location nevertheless provides many richly star-studded areas. Let us hope that as we grow and develop our region, we can do so in a way that preserves the beauty of, and our connection to, the night sky. l To keep abreast of David Wilson’s (he/ him) photography or purchase a print, visit www.mindscapefx.com or follow him on Instagram at @david_wilson_mfx and on Twitter @davidwilson_mfx.

The following information concerns your rights and procedures which relate to this proceeding for the termination of parental custody and control of Aliyah Lynn Marie Carr, as set forth in California civil Code Section 237.5.

The court shall consider whether the interest of the minor child requires the appointment of counsel. If the court finds the inter− ests of the minor do not require such protection, the court shall not appoint counsel to represent the minor. If the court finds the inter− ests of the minor require the repre− sentation of counsel, counsel shall be appointed whether or not the minor is able to afford counsel. The minor shall not be present in court, unless the minor so requests or the court so orders.

If a parent appears without counsel and is unable to afford counsel, the court must appoint counsel for the parent, unless such representation is knowingly and intelligently waived. The same counsel shall not be appointed to represent both the minor and her parent.

The public defender or private counsel may be appointed as counsel, pursuant to Family Code Section 7860, et seq. Private counsel appointed under the provi− sions of Family Code Section 7863 shall receive a reasonable sum for compensation and expenses, the amount of which shall be deter− mined by the Court.

BLUE LAKE RANCHERIA TRIBAL JUSTICE CENTER NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY This Environmental Assessment (EA) has been prepared to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (40 CFR § 1500-1508) to assist the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to comply with 42 U.S.C. § 4371 et. seq.

The EA documents the environmental review for the proposed development of a multi-purpose Justice Center and Transportation/O.E.S. Complex to be constructed on trust lands within the boundaries of the Blue Lake Rancheria. The purpose of the EA is to investigate and outline the potential environmental effects associated with the development of the facility. The Bureau of Justice Assistance, Office of Justice Programs (OJP), as Lead Agency, will use this EA to determine if the approval of the development of the multi-purpose Tribal Court Facility would result in significant effects to the environment.

The purpose of the EA is to satisfy the environmental review process of NEPA as set forth by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice to document the need for the Blue Lake Rancheria to develop and administer the types of services that would be made available at the Blue Lake Rancheria Justice Center. The document provides a detailed description of the Proposed Action and an analysis of the potential environmental consequences associated with development of the proposed project.

Also included is a discussion and analysis of project alternatives, impact avoidance, and mitigation measures. These mitigation measures are incorporated into the Environmental Consequences section of the EA and summarized in Table 4.

Proposed is the construction of a BLR Multi-Purpose Justice Center and Transportation/O.E.S. complex on a portion of a 33.47-acre parcel with an affected area of 2.8 acres of tribally-owned trust lands within the boundaries of the Blue Lake Rancheria, Humboldt County, California.

The U.S. Department of the Interior, through the Bureau of Indian Affairs, has been designated by federal law as the “Trustee” of all Indian lands.

The BIA does not weigh in nor administer trust land within control of the Tribe and for Tribal purposes except in the approval of leases. Leases are not proposed under this action.

By being aligned with the other tribal and non-tribal social service, health, and administrative entities, the Justice Center is a projected twostory, 10,750 square foot facility that will house the Rancheria’s Police Department, Tribal Court, Emergency Services, and Tribal staff. The Justice Center’s first floor will include a reception area, Tribal library, Elders Meal Program kitchen, dining hall, Emergency Operations Center, Tribal Court, and Police Department. The second floor of the facility will house Tribal administration offices.

The proposed Transportation/O.E.S. complex consists of a 4,338 square foot building that will house a Tribal Transportation Office and Garage as well as the Fire Department. Both buildings are on the same lot.

The proposed project involves construction of two new buildings and equipment purchase by the Blue Lake Rancheria Tribe on Tribal Trust Lands using grant funds received, in part, from the US Department of Justice, the annual continuing appropriations under the Tribal Transportation Program (TTP), and additional funds will be provided by the Tribe.

The complete draft EA, provided by LACO Associates can be found at: www.bluelakerancheria-nsn.gov/publicnotifications/

The business is conducted by a Limited Liability Company.
