No Trucking Way Editor: Thank you to the North Coast Journal for your article (“Big Changes Considered for 101 Through Eureka,” Feb. 28) about the traffic woes and accompanying death toll on 101 through Eureka.

As bad as the current picture you paint may be, it pales in comparison to how much worse it will be if and when 101 is widened through Richardson Grove and the giant STAA trucks (currently banned from passing through that thin Redwood Curtain) begin to populate our roads.

Contrary to what CalTrans and its boosters on our Humboldt County Board of Supervisors want you to believe, our roads will be more dangerous and lives will be severely impacted. The fact is one out every 10 highway deaths nationally involve large trucks. The annual death toll is now up to 5,000 fatalities, a 20 percent increase since 2009 (saferoads.org). Of course, we’ve yet to see a corresponding increase to the rest of the country precisely because the road through Richardson Grove prevents these behemoths from traveling up 101.

Also, once the road is widened, that’s it — it will remain that way for the rest of our lives. There are no take backs.

If you look, you’ll notice that most of the tractor trailers that you see on our roads now do not have sleeper cabins and

in the larger civil society, going about its daily affairs and tasks, it seems we have somehow misplaced the moral compass, and I, frankly, do not know where it is.

In the very same issue of the Journal, the small feature “Digitally Speaking” (NCJ Daily) stated that the number of people who spent the night of January 22 homeless and unsheltered in Humboldt County was 1,473. That number is more than the current population of Ferndale — 1,371.

How is this possible? How is this acceptable? I do not know.

Frustrations Mount in Klamath-Trinity School District

ACLU, advocates charge the district isn’t doing enough for at-risk, Native youth

By Natalya Estrada

newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

I

t’s pouring rain in Hoopa. The roads are slick with ice and snow is about to fall as roughly half a dozen people shuffle into a small room for the Klamath-Trinity Joint Unified School District Board meeting in mid-February. The crowd is small but those attending carry the voices of their children, their community and, for this particular region, their tribes.

Erika Tracey was one of those who stood up to address the board.

“There just really seems to be a feeling right now of not having the ability to provide feedback, to engage with the plans, to even access,” she says. “Whether it be resources or even just accessing a school board.”

Tracey, the executive director of the Hoopa Tribal Education Association, says multiple problems with the district’s handing of the Local Control Accountability Plan prompted her, the Hoopa Valley Tribe and the Yurok Tribe, in collaboration with the American Civil Liberties Union, to demand more transparency in how the district spends its limited funds.

“Our attention recently focused on the LCAP but what we’re seeing and what we’re noticing is that there are a lot of the patterns that are being highlighted with this LCAP,” Tracey says. “Needing to have stakeholder engagement, needing to make sure that all of the spending and the planning and all of those pieces are transparent.”

Historically, Tracey says, tribes have seen a disparity in the education of their youth that stretches back to the indoctrination of Western boarding schools. This LCAP — a three-year plan, updated annually, that is designed to detail all the district’s programs and expenditures — puts that disparity in writing and on record, she says.

In collaboration with the ACLU, Tracey worked to show how the district lets students fall through the cracks. The LCAP was supposed to detail how the district is addressing those students through what’s

called the Supplemental and Concentration Fund, which allocates nearly $2.2 million for three specific types of students: foster children, English Language Learners and students with low socio-economic status.

Criticisms of the LCAP and the district fell into several categories, such as a lack of transparency and engagement, little accountability in how funds are spent and a lack of a parental advisory committee, something that isn’t required but is recommended.

The notion that the $2.2 million in funds designated for at-risk children are being used to cover the district’s shortcomings is, according to Superintendent Jon Ray, an oversimplification of the problem. Ray says that the LCAP and the designated funds must demonstrate improvements and goals for the district and its students, a majority of which fall into the three designated at-risk categories.

“I’m supposed to improve services for 95 percent of my students, what about the other 5 percent?” Ray says. “We’re all experiencing the same need.”

Native students make up approximately 85 percent of the district and the schools within the Klamath-Trinity borders include rural areas and tribal lands, such as the Hoopa and Yurok reservations, as well as parts of the Karuk and Tsungwe ancestral territory. The schools face some funding pitfalls because the campuses are on tribal land, which cannot be taxed for revenue.

Ray says it is simply not feasible to correct the LCAP while also providing essential and necessary funding for all of the needs of the students within the district.

“We have about 1,000 square miles in our school district,” Ray says. “Our schools reach up until the Siskiyou County line.

Each school receives what we call a portioned amount from the S and C funds.

that I (had) to fix this. That doesn’t mean they’re going to give me the funding to do this.”

Previously, Tracey worked with the ACLU to establish documented complaints about the 2017-2018 LCAP, which was not addressed or fixed by the district. The 2018-2019 LCAP was addressed and the California Department of Education instructed Ray to improve and revise the document. More specifically, he was instructed to fix the transparency issues that the two tribes and the ACLU brought forward in November, which include more detailed descriptions of programs and how S and C funds are spent. Those changes have been made but Ray says he did not shift funding to different programs. Instead, he simply added more context in the document that specified where the money was going within the schools.

But the revisions took time and Ray did not complete them until several days before it needed the board’s approval on Feb. 15.

“I don’t have the manpower of these larger districts. I don’t have someone to focus on the LCAPS with me,” Ray says, adding that the district has ongoing problems that go beyond S and C funds.

“I’m up at the high school trying to get the boiler to work. There’s construction and a lot of things going on. Sometimes all of the paperwork I need to get done doesn’t get done.”

The lag on the revised LCAP presented problems for the tribes, parents and community. Tracey argues that the LCAP is supposed to be something that everyone can engage with but they had no time to even look at the document, which is more than 100 pages long.

Ray says he gave the revised LCAP to tribal members and parents involved with the Indian Policies and Procedures Task Force at least a week ahead of the presentation to the school board. However, Tracey, who is also part of the task force,

says it did not receive the revised LCAP until Feb. 5 at 10 a.m., less than 24 hours before the task force was slated to review the revisions at its meeting.

“It’s hard to get through 111 pages but, thankfully, our allies at the ACLU were awesome at helping us scan through,” Tracey said.

Parents within the district, like Alexandra Mojado, are skeptical of the superintendent’s reasons behind the delayed LCAP and the lack of transparency. Mojado says her child attends Hoopa Elementary School and she worries about the quality of education there.

“At the end of the day, they still have a legal obligation to do certain things and, really, all we’re asking for is additional meetings and community input, which is required,” she said. “A lack of resources and a lack of staff shouldn’t be an excuse, especially when it directly impacts the students.”

Mojado thinks students need more reading intervention and the district should fill vacant positions in the schools to provide more services for students who fall into the three categories addressed by the S and C funds. Mojado says she doesn’t know if student needs are currently being met because of the district’s ongoing lack of transparency.

“I certainly have not had enough time to review it,” she said of the LCAP, adding that the document is distributed online and therefore is not accessible to some within the region. “I’m fortunate enough to have access to internet. Not everyone in this community … can do that.”

Others feel slightly more confident now that they see tribal members and the ACLU advocating to put Native and indigenous children at the forefront of the district’s issues.

Meagen Baldy has five children in the KTJUSD school system — four in elementary school and one in high school — and her oldest child graduated from the district last year.

“We’re actually kind of stepping up and saying we won’t take it anymore,” Baldy says. “We want transparency. We want to see more things in our district that we believe are good cultural practices for our kids. We want to see healthier schools all the way. So I feel like it’s a good time, even though it looks messy.”

The KTJUSD board was required by the California Department of Education to approve the LCAP at its Feb. 15 board meeting, despite some resistance from parents and tribal members who felt uninvolved in the rushed process. The board indicated it was too late to make additional changes to the current LCAP, noting that modifying the existing school year’s budget was

infeasible, but pledged to offer more opportunities for public engagement moving forward. Specifically, Tracey and others at the meeting were asked to provide input for the 2019-2020 LCAP. Tracey emphasized that, without the input or engagement with the community, students will continue to fall through the cracks of the system and that the KTJUSD should not treat their children as “throwaway kids.” Instead, she said the district needs to focus on cultural and restorative

practices to provide the responsive and trauma-informed education the children deserve.

“Every single child that we send there and that we claim as our children deserves an education and it’s [the district’s] responsibility to provide that for them,” she said.

“When they’re letting some of them fall through the cracks, then it still lands back in our community. So we have a real stake in this.”

Since the board’s approval of the LCAP

last month, Tracey, the Yurok Tribe and the ACLU have sent a letter to the California Department of Education asking it to force the district to take corrective action to address ongoing transparency and engagement problems. l Natalya Estrada is a local journalist living in Arcata.

he Humboldt County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously March 12 to reinvest a portion of its cannabis excise tax revenue back into the industry it came

from.

In a series of votes, the board approved plans to create a local “equity” program aimed at helping those impacted by prohibition and the drug war, a board to award micro-grants to the industry and a marketing plan designed to promote Humboldt County cannabis.

Passed in 2016 with 66 percent voters approving, Measure S imposed a $1 to $3 per-square-foot excise tax on commercial cannabis cultivation countywide. It has so far generated approximately $17 million in revenue.

The plan approved by the board, known as “Project Trellis,” is to take at least 10 percent of that — $1.7 million — and spend it on efforts to boost the local industry. The approach has three basic prongs.

The first is to create a local equity program that is essentially designed to tap into $10 million in state funding created by Senate Bill 1294, which sought to recognize the damaging impacts of cannabis prohibition on disadvantaged communities, particularly those of color, and to undue some of the damage done by the war on drugs by creating a more equitable playing field. Because much of the state’s marijuana eradication efforts took place in Humboldt County, where paramilitary troops dropped from helicopters with assault rifles to cut down plants, county staff believes Humboldt fits the bill’s designation.

With the board’s vote, the county will appropriate at least $170,000 toward creating a local equity program. The state has pledged to give grants of at least $100,000 to local jurisdictions that have equity programs in place, with the balance of the $10 million in S.B. 1294 funding to be split evenly between the jurisdictions. (That means if only 10 cities and counties form equity programs and apply for the grant by the April 1 deadline, each would receive $10 million.)

At this point, it’s not entirely clear how this local equity program would work, as the board’s vote simply directed staff to “write and implement” the program details.

The second prong the board approved March 12 is a micro-grant program that will make at least $340,000 available in small

grants to the local cannabis industry. The idea is that because federal prohibition means cannabis businesses can’t access the same loans and services as their traditional counterparts, they may need a leg up in the form of small grants or loans to help with business improvements, compliance costs or other things. These grants will be distributed by a committee — made up of one delegate from each of the five supervisors, as well as two at-large delegates, one from the cannabis industry and another from a “lateral” industry, like banking or finance.

The committee will also be tasked with making program guidelines and eligibility recommendations to the board.

Finally, the third prong is the creation of a $1.19 million fund to pay for a Humboldt County specific cannabis marketing initiative. With the board’s March 12 vote, the county will issue a request for proposals for a cannabis marketing and branding plan that — coupled with point of origin stamp program — will try to build the Humboldt County cannabis brand, particularly in the urban centers of San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego, home to the state’s largest cannabis retail markets.

Of course, figuring out the best way to market and brand all Humboldt County cannabis under a single campaign is no small task, so it will be interesting to see what kinds of proposals the county receives moving forward.

Some inside and outside the world of cannabis have questioned the logic behind taxing an industry only to then turn around and use the revenue generated from said tax to subsidize that very same industry.

(Trump tariffs, anyone?) But others have expressed that the proposal doesn’t go far enough. Fifth District Supervisor Steve Madrone, for one, said he’d like to see up to 50 percent of Measure S revenue funneled back into such efforts.

Public comment at the March 12 meeting, meanwhile, was universally supportive of Project Trellis.

“Today is a momentous day for Humboldt County,” Humboldt County Growers Alliance Operations Director Natalynne DeLapp told the board. l Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor. Reach him at 442-1400, extension 321, or thad@northcoastjournal.com Follow him on Twitter @thadeusgreenson.

Remembering Benito Nuñez-Rodriguez

I

t’s about 5 p.m. on March 10 and under a blue sky a handful of people walk down Goble Lane in Ferndale, where family and friends of Benito Nuñez-Rodriguez will place a cross with his name a little ways away from where a search team found him March 1, about 12 hours after he went missing in the floodwaters of the Eel River.

Aurelio Baltzar and Oscar Dominguez find a fence post and start to drill the cross into place. It reads: “Benito Nuñez-Rodriguez / Por siempre en nuestros corazones / Forever in our hearts.” As they are mounting the plaque, Michelle Rodriguez, a family friend of 14 years, begins giving out sunflower seeds to people, hand by hand, while sniffling back tears. She remembers Nuñez-Rodriguez talking about how beautiful the sunflowers are when in full bloom along the fence line.

The group surrounds the cross with flowers and candles before Rodriguez drops the sunflower seeds on the grass close by. She invites the others to place candles and seeds for the memorial.

“I know some of you didn’t know Benito,” she says. “He was a loving father and a big hearted, unique and funny guy. He loved to laugh.”

Nuñez-Rodriguez drowned in the floodwaters of the Eel River on Feb. 28 when he tried to walk through 4- to 5-foot deep flows to get from the barn he was in to his nearby home. According to the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office, he clocked out of work at the Alexandre Acres dairy barn around 5 p.m. but waited

a while before trying to get home. The next day, searchers found a rowboat that had been in the barn a ways downriver, leading some to speculate that he’d tried to paddle home. But the sheriff’s office says his wife, Trina Nuñez-Rodriguez, who was home with their four children, heard him calling out for help around 7 p.m.

With their youngest son, 10, and the help of a neighbor, Trina tried to rescue him by driving a tractor into the flood waters toward him. But the tractor stalled before it could reach him and Trina ultimately lost sight of her husband. Numerous agencies launched a rescue effort but, it was suspended after two hours at 11 p.m. due to dangerous conditions. The next morning, deputies continued the search and found Nuñez-Rodriguez dead in a nearby field southwest from where the tractor stalled.

Nuñez-Rodriguez grew up in Colima, in the Mexican state of Manzanilla, and came to the U.S. when he was 16 years old.

According to Rodriguez, he, his wife and their four children moved to Humboldt County from Medford, Oregon, last summer. With the help of Rodriguez and her husband, Nuñez-Rodriguez landed a job at Alexandre Acres dairy, herding cows from field to field and doing other odd jobs.

While working as a firefighter in Oregon, Nuñez-Rodriguez reportedly told his son that if anything were to happen to him, Nuñez-Rodriguez wanted his body sent to Mexico, where his parents and siblings live. On March 11, the day following the memorial, Nuñez-Rodriguez’s body

McKinley Heads to Ohio: The statue of William McKinley that stood sentry at the center of the Arcata Plaza for more than a century officially began the 2,500 mile trip to its new home in Canton, Ohio, March 11. Arcata City Manager Karen Diemer confirmed that a transporter picked the 9-foot bronze statue up from the Arcata corporation yard, where it had laid in repose on the back of a flatbed truck since Feb. 28, when the statute was removed from the plaza by a crane before dawn. Diemer said the statue’s first stop will be at a restoration shop in Ohio that will try to repair McKinley’s patina, which was damaged in October when someone vandalized it with an acidic substance.

Memorial Redwood: The Save the Redwoods League will dedicate a redwood near the league’s memorial grove neighboring Avenue of the Giants to Tony Smithers, the longtime director of the Eureka-Humboldt Visitors Bureau who died suddenly Jan. 14. The tree will honor Smithers for “his tireless work over decades to share the coastal giants with vistiors from around the world,” the league said in a press release. Smithers, 58, spent some 20 years working with the bureau and promoting the area’s redwoods. A small dedication ceremony for the memorial tree is scheduled for late spring, with the exact time and location to be determined.

ith his head hung low and a purple, black eye cast to the ground, Robert Stretton crossed the street outside the Humboldt County Courthouse on the cold, rainy afternoon of Dec. 20. He had just been served with a restraining order, a day after being evicted from an office on Eureka’s E Street that he’d lived in since Oct. 1. As he crossed the street, he contemplated his next moves.

One possibility was to travel to Big Lagoon to find a friend named Dude Whiting and camp with him for the night. The other was to pack up his belongings before the doors were locked at his office.

With just five days before Christmas, Stretton, like hundreds of others in Humboldt County, would be homeless for the holiday.

“Right now is the lowest point in my life,” the 64 year old said that afternoon.

“I’m scared to death with what my future holds.”

Stretton’s path to Humboldt County and his current plight is a windy one, filled with many ups and downs that mirror his mental state. Diagnosed with bipolar 1 disorder in 1999, Stretton’s life has known little stability in any sense. He has four ex-wives, an equal number of restraining orders and three children, all of whom refuse to talk to him.

According to Mental Health America, 4.4 percent of the U.S. population has been diagnosed with bipolar 1 disorder and people with mental illness are more likely to find themselves on the streets. Around onethird of the entire homeless population suffers from a mental illness, according to Treatment Advocacy Center. The 2018 Annual Homeless Assessment Report found that about 130,000 people are homeless in California on any given night, an average of 33 per every 10,000 state residents. The

Humboldt Housing and Homeless Coalition conducted a point in time survey in January and found 1,470 unsheltered people, making Humboldt County’s homeless rate more than three times that of California and six times that of the nation.

Bipolar disorder is not a mental illness that commonly manifests in a way that evokes compassion. Instead, it often presents in socially unacceptable behavior that can simply make someone seem like an asshole.

In Stretton’s case, the illness causes him to bring problems upon himself but he’s also lived with it so long that it’s an ingrained part of his personality and his sense of self. One cannot separate the mental illness from the man. If you strip it away, Stretton is not sure what would be left. He describes the illness as like being on a rollercoaster that moves through dark tunnels with no end in sight.

“As I look back on my life, I realize that many problems were due to being bipolar,” Stretton said. “My bipolar mental issues come from both sides of the family, back then they didn’t know what bipolar was.”

Stretton was born in Vancouver,

British Columbia, on March 3, 1955, to Joseph and Eva Stretton. His father left the picture when Stretton was young and his mother moved the family to Washington and then Oregon briefly before landing in Ohio. Stretton said he and his sister were placed in foster care there for short periods of time due to his mother’s mental illness, which she coped with by sometimes running away with different men.

Stretton attended high school in Centerville, Ohio, in the early 1970s. He was a tinkerer and, afraid of chemicals but always Continued on next page »

fascinated with electricity, would build light shows for friends. Constantly bullied and harassed because of his dyslexia and promiscuous mother, Stretton said he stuck to working on gadgets and electrical projects, never engaging much with his peers.

Alan Starrat, Stretton’s cousin, is the only family member Stretton has regular contact with and the only one who agreed to speak with the Journal for this story. A violist in a New Zealand-based orchestra, Starrat often chats with Stretton over Facebook and visited him in December, giving Stretton a dose of optimism during the holidays. Starrat rented a car and joined Stretton on the streets of Eureka for a few nights and the two also camped in Big Lagoon with Whiting, Stretton’s friend. Starrat said mental illness and depression run in Stretton’s family, most prominently on his mother’s side.

“He was an electronics whiz from an early age,” Starrat said. “His mom was more into the high life and gave the kids things rather than attention.”

Timothy Gannon, the medical director for Humboldt County Mental Health, said that people who have blood relatives with bipolar disorder are 10 times more likely than the general population to have the illness. Symptoms tend to manifest around the age of 18, Ganon said, which is when Stretton met his first wife, while still in high school.

Her name was Patty Larrick and Stretton said he used his charm and a 1965 Chevrolet Malibu to woo her. Larrick and Stretton dated for four years before getting married but it would prove shortlived, lasting only another four years.

“It took me over 40 years to get over her,” Stretton said. “I’ve been wanting to apologize to her all my life about anything in general if I caused her harm.

I’ve been looking for answers of why she kicked me out.”

Not long after the divorce, Stretton moved to Gilroy, California. The move immersed him in the beginning of the first Silicon Valley tech boom, back when it was all HAM radios and Commodore 64s. Electricity was in high demand in the valley and Stretton was there to provide it, believing he’d found his place and calling as an electrician. Around the same time, he met his second wife, Tona Blanchard.

“Tona and I hit it off,” Stretton said.

“For a year and a half in Silicon Valley, electrical work was top dollar. I was swimming in cash.”

The marriage with Blanchard was shortlived but Melissa, Stretton’s first daughter, was born in March of 1981. The entire relationship lasted only a year and a half before Blanchard and the newborn headed back east.

A common barrier families face with mental illness is keeping problems bottled.

Lea Nagy, vice president of the National Alliance of Mental Illness of Humboldt, said that because of stigma and discrimination toward those suffering with a mental illness, families don’t talk about their struggles and they often don’t get help.

“There used to be a bipolar support group in Humboldt County and that’s what’s needed,” Nagy said. “Support groups provide information and hope for people. They help families not to give up too soon.”

Stretton had his second child with his third wife, Jami Finch. The two met while working an electrical job in Santa Clara and their marriage was a “business relationship,” he said, in which Finch was going to be the bookkeeper and Stretton would do the manual work. But drugs and Stretton’s illness got in the way.

“I had coke problems for a while, alcohol for a while,” Stretton said. “But I never needed rehab. I was always able to break away.”

Drugs and alcohol can have a detrimental effect on those with bipolar, though a national survey by the American Journal of Managed Care found that more than 55 percent of individuals with bipolar disorder have experienced addiction at some point in their lives. According to the Recovery Village, an alcohol, addiction and drug rehabilitation center, cocaine use with bipolar disorder can intensify symptoms and make decision-making difficult. Gannon also said drug and alcohol use can interfere with treatment plans.

“If they start drinking or doing drugs,

then it decreases the chance that they are going to take their bipolar meds,” Gannon said. “Which could enhance the likelihood of another episode occurring.”

In 1985, Stretton met his fourth and final wife. Music pumped through the speakers as drinks were poured that night in Sunnyvale’s Odyssey Room. Sandy Adams was on stage and Stretton looked on with his big blue eyes. Adams and Stretton would spend the next 11 years together, making this Stretton’s longest relationship.

“She was a tall blonde singing with a band,” Stretton said. “She liked to sing.”

While the two never officially wed, Stretton claims they had a common-law marriage, even though California did away with such arrangements in 1895. Regardless, Stretton calls Adams his “ex” and the two had a child together. Brittany Stretton was born on Jan. 9, 1990, the youngest of Stretton’s children and the only one to live with him as a teenager.

Stretton and Adams split in 1995, shortly after Stretton’s mother died. After the separation, Stretton headed to Gilroy but the heat started to wear on him. He was collecting Supplemental Security Income for a knee disability and wanted to move somewhere new.

In the early 1990s Stretton recon-

nected with his father, who was living in Humboldt County. After nearly 30 years of being estranged, Stretton and his father, Joseph, reconnected via the HAM radio network. (HAM radios are essentially walkie-talkies with signals that reach around the globe.) A friend of Stretton’s was a HAM radio guru and compiled a database of all

HAM radio operators. One day, Stretton was curious and looked up his name. Lo and behold, he found another Stretton — his father.

“Every HAM radio operator uses certain frequencies to follow each other,” Stretton said. “HAM radio hooked us up, again.”

Stretton’s father secured him a place for three months in Fortuna in 2000. They had a falling out almost immediately.

“My father and I didn’t see eye to eye,” Stretton said. “‘Sink or swim,’ he told me.”

Stretton moved to Eureka shorty after his stint in Fortuna. Troubles with landlords and other tenants kept him jumping from place to place for the next few years.

He finally found sanctuary for about 12 years with J & J Rentals through Section 8 housing.

Once in Humboldt County, Stretton was finally diagnosed with what he had been struggling with his entire life, bipolar 1 disorder. The acknowledgment seemed too late to mitigate the damage that Stretton had trudged through since adolescence, but he hoped it would bring positive change to his life moving forward.

“I obviously had issues, but couldn’t explain them since I hadn’t been diagnosed,” Stretton said. “What people don’t understand is I don’t think like other people. My first reaction is emotional and not logical.”

Stretton said he has no warning when his moods change, causing sudden outbursts that have continuously caused problems with his neighbors and brought instability to his living situations. When he began renting from the Paye family, who own J & J Rentals, his youngest child, Brittany, moved in with him when she was 15.

But this also would prove short lived. After an argument with Brittany over dinner, Stretton snapped.

“I broke the door off the hinges,” Stretton said. “I scared her by screaming and yelling. It would appear I bring it upon myself but I have no control. I just can’t seem to find peace. She hates me because of one of my bipolar episodes.”

Gannon has more than 18 years of experience working in the mental health field and said the signs and symptoms of bipolar 1 disorder vary from inflated self-esteem, racing thoughts and high energy to antisocial behavior, delusions of grandeur and sometimes dangerous outbursts.

“For a bipolar person, their behavior has to be abnormal,” Gannon said. “And those behaviors should be persistent across time.

The mood you’re looking for is elevated, expansive or irritable. All of these things should be marked as different from their normal behaviors.”

Nagy, of NAMI of Humboldt, said having the support of a friend or family member is a crucial factor in the well-being of those suffering with a mental illness. There are times when they have problems functioning and can become confused or psychotic, she said, and just having someone around can make a huge difference.

“Bipolar disorder is a hidden illness,” Nagy said “There is a lot of discrimination and society thinks they should just pull themselves up by the bootstraps, but that isn’t the case.”

For those who struggle with bipolar

disorder, even small things can trigger an outburst — which for Stretton has resulted in multiple restraining orders. The first came after he and a neighbor, Kathryn Fitzgerald, got into a fight Sept. 26, 2014.

It started verbally but escalated with Fitzgerald striking Stretton in the mouth and then Stretton retaliating, pushing Fitzgerald down against a set of stairs and grabbing her throat. Stretton was charged with misdemeanor assault and battery but the case was dismissed four years later.

Tim Ash, chair of Humboldt County Behavioral Board, said U.S. jail and prison populations have skyrocketed because of the closing of mental health facilities, pointing to a study by the Treatment Advocacy Center that found the United States has “eliminated more than 96 percent of the last-resort beds that existed in the mid-1950s.” The center’s study went on to say that there is common knowledge of a need for more psychiatric beds but “neither the United States nor its individual states have conducted research to establish evidence-based bed supply ranges.”

“If (the mentally ill) had an option to go somewhere, they would, but we don’t

have that option in this community,” Ash said. “What we really need is a continuum of services that suits the individuals with mental disabilities because everyone is different.”

Ash went on to say there are not enough psychiatrists or services for the mentally ill in Humboldt County and this lack of help is why people with bipolar end up in the criminal justice system “more than we would like to admit.”

Stretton’s next three restraining orders came four years after the altercation with Fitzgerald, filed within months of each other. On June 6, 2018, Elaina Robinson, a neighbor, filed one over disputes at their apartment complex. According to documents obtained from a public records request, Robinson alleged that Stretton would feed her cat “human food like tacos with sour cream and … even a full loaf of moldy bread.” Multiple arguments ensued and one ended with a shouting match on Robinson’s front porch.

“He came up to my porch, less than 6 inches away from my face, and balled up his fist as if to hit me,” Robinson reported.

Stretton would go on to intimidate and challenge his neighbors to fights and leave notes on their cars and doors. One of the last incidents documented in the filing involved Stretton spraying Robinson in the face with a hose.

“The only reason I got that apartment was because I made friends with the Section 8 housing inspector,” Stretton said. “He pulled some strings to get me in there. Once I got evicted, I knew there was nobody that was going to rent to me with my record.”

This is a reason why Stretton believes he needs a liaison who could help him find and maintain housing, navigate the mental health system and access services.

“I need somebody that can stand beside me,” Stretton said. “That can help me along the way with the things I need to do. To go to appointments, fill out paperwork and point me in the right direction. This should be a thing that is available to everybody with a mental illness. Everybody is different, people are not statistics and you cannot take care of people based on statistics.”

Tim Ash agrees and said that a possible solution for those with mental illness would be a supportive housing project.

“What we need is Crisis Residential, which is like an apartment complex where people live in studios,” Ash said. “The barriers to get in wouldn’t be difficult and someone would help them with case managing and getting them to appointments — somebody watching out for them.”

One of the barriers that has historically stood in the way of these types of solutions is the Medicaid Institution for Mental Diseases Exclusion, which went into effect in 1965 and essentially prohibited Medicaid from financing large-scale residential treatment facilities. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has recently given states the option of applying for waivers but only if they can prove they have maintained “robust” community-based treatment programs.

“The IMD Exclusion was essentially written to not warehouse the mentally ill,” Ash said. “The government said that we want [the mentally ill] in the community but the communities never got reimbursements for services.”

Stretton’s living space in his office on the fifth floor of the E Street building in Eureka reflected his love for all things electrical. Entering into the 200-square-foot room was like walking into a circuit breaker.

An “S” shaped path marked with wires, empty soda cans, a makeshift stove and electronics wove throughout the space.

The room was divided by a standing desk covered with receipts, radio equipment and a variety of gadgets. A computer stand sat littered with multi-colored post-it notes covered in phone numbers of friends and family, and reminders.

A monitor hung to the side of the desk, displaying security camera footage from the hallway outside. Stretton ran a pirate radio station, 89.7 FM, that pumped out EDM music and announced his moniker, a voice recording saying, “The Original Yuppie Bastard,” every 30 minutes to mark the time. Hanging from the ceiling, and shielding his bed — which was supported by used soda syrup containers — were makeshift window blinds attached directly to the ceiling. Next to the blinds, a selfrigged electrical connection hung from a fluorescent light fixture, powering Stretton’s tangled web of electronics. A drum machine sat near his bed.

“The drum pad allows me to focus when I get angry, to keep a beat,” Stretton said. “I have to focus 110 percent so it helps me deal with pain and memory. I’ve been spending my days on the computer studying Google patent searches and semiconductor data sheets. I want to be left alone to work on my inventions. I’ll shit in a bucket, I’m not proud.”

Stretton’s Dec. 20 court date laid out a stark contrast between plaintiff and defendant. Linda Disiere, Stretton’s landlord at the E Street office, wore a brown sweater with horned rim glasses, short blonde hair and gold earrings. Stretton wore his hair back in a ragged ponytail, his clothes were stained and worn and he had a black eye

“My living in my office is only a temporary thing,” Stretton told to the court.

During his stay in the office, Stretton had sent emails to all tenants of the building, often with ambiguous warnings, like, “It looks like Plan ‘B’ is my new course of action, if this cannot be resolved peacefully.”

“There were many emails sent with how he would seek revenge,” Disiere said. “I am afraid to walk out of the door because I don’t know what he will do.”

According to emails that Disiere submitted in the restraining order request, Stretton aluded to threats of violence that would be “unleashed explosively when the time comes.”

Humboldt County Superior Court Judge Kelly Neel, who also heard Stretton’s other 2018 case, acknowledged his mental illness, as well as his current housing situation, before casting her decision. She ordered him not to communicate with Disiere in any way and to stay at least 25 yards away from her for the next year. His items in the office would be moved at the expense of Disiere but stored at Stretton’s. With no plan for his future, Stretton stared ahead, seemingly bewildered by his impending homelessness.

“Best of luck to everyone,” Neel said as she finished that day’s hearing.

“After court, suicide entered the picture once again,” Stretton said. “I struggle with that from day to day but I have to keep chugging along.”

Suicide is 15 times more common among those with bipolar disorder, according to Gannon.

14 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, March 14, 2019 • northcoastjournal.com

“When they look at suicides they tend to think that bipolar can account for 25 percent of them,” Gannon said. “That’s a huge amount.”

The morning of Dec. 22, 2018, Robert Stretton awoke in an empty parking lot in Big Lagoon. After being evicted from his E Street office, he had headed north to meet up with Whiting.

The two met through a mutual friend, Tom Sebourn, a few years back and Stretton built a website for Whiting and his philosophical approach to life (“dudeolosophy”).

“I have a lot of knowledge of living on the road,” Whiting said. “I think Robert is a lot like other human beings, struggling with finding their place in the world.”

Stretton is savvy in the old ways of the internet. He has built more than 60 websites, but all lack current graphics and interactivity that have become commonplace. But for Stretton, they are part of a way of life and a means by which he finds value for himself.

One of Stretton’s websites is dedicated to an invention he hopes will help him bust out of his current situation. It is called “Starling Navigation” and is a “paradigm traffic controller” based on “new-found knowledge” of “bird navigation techniques” that he believes will save millions of lives.

Stretton said his inventing career has been hampered by a lack of support.

“Genius is a three-legged stool,” Stretton said. “You have the knack for it, you were born with it and you have support to back it.

I have the first two but no one to back me.”

Gannon said most people with bipolar disorder will get better with treatment and that, as they age, their episodes tend to switch from manic to depressive. But he said about 30 percent of those diagnosed remain severely impaired and “can’t get back to normal.”

Lacking stability, Stretton seems to fall into that 30 percent. He also can’t seem to stay out of trouble. On Feb. 27, Kathleen Ward, an ex-girlfriend of one of Stretton’s friends, filed a restraining order against him, alleging he’d sent her threatening messages via Facebook. Asked about them, Stretton was unapologetic.

“You get me going or riled up and I’ll say anything to get you to back off,” he said. “I don’t mean any of that stuff, it just comes out. I may threaten someone but I would never hurt them.”

Stretton’s future is unknown but he said he wants to make it to Vandenburg Air Force Base in Lompoc to watch a rocket launch “before it’s all over.” He is currently spending his nights in a PT Cruiser in the parking lot of a local mental health facility, a self-described “digital nomad” with his HAM radio at his side and five prescription pill bottles in the passenger seat, a new addition to the homeless of Humboldt. l Freddy Brewster is a junior at Humboldt State University majoring in journalism and working as a freelance reporter.

Do Uber Eats and DoorDash Deliver Profits?

Local restaurants weigh the cost of delivery services

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

W

hen, at already-in-your-pajamas o’clock, with Netflix alerting you the next episode will start in seven seconds, you realize you must have a bacon cheeseburger or a poké bowl, throwing a few extra bucks at a delivery app sounds like a bargain. Plus tip, of course — you’re not an animal. But how much of a deal that delivery will be for the restaurant preparing your meal is another question.

Uber Eats made its incursion into the North Coast in October, deploying its small roster of drivers to service restaurants and their hungry, convenience-loving customers. A free download of the app reveals a dozen or so restaurants each in Eureka and Arcata, shuttling everything from Big Macs to oysters on the half shell.

The company’s website touts the benefits of fast delivery, the ability to “promote your business to our rider audience” and increased orders. The site reads, “Our top restaurants earn on average over $6,400 per month*.” Qualified at the bottom of the page: “*Based on calculated global average for top 25 percent of active restaurants in the month of August 2016.”

(Uber Eats did not respond to emailed questions from the Journal.)

Diver Bar and Grill owners Shawn Stoops and Dawn Watkins say the service had a rocky start. There didn’t seem to be enough drivers, leading to steak dinners and pizzas sitting for half an hour or more until the order was canceled or Stoops ran out to deliver it himself. Some of the late-night drivers earned poor ratings from the restaurant in the beginning, says Stoops. “We’ve had people smelling like weed, we had a dude walk out on a $90 order” instead of waiting for servers to finish boxing it up. The Diver isn’t alone in its dissatisfaction, either. China Buffet manager Phoebe Huang says the delays caused the restaurant to ditch the service.

She says, “We don’t use that because before, when our orders are ready, we were waiting for 30 minutes. And I don’t want to lose my customers.”

Stoops says things improved since a few regular drivers started handling deliveries, adding that Uber Eats reimburses the cost of meals on canceled orders. But the partnership remains pricey.

While the diner only pays around $4.50 more for a given order, and the driver takes the usual trip fee plus tip, Uber Eats takes 30 percent of the cost of the meal off the restaurant’s end. Most restaurants operate on margins slimmer than that, meaning Uber Eats’ cut could leave them barely breaking even or losing money on each delivery. Some of the owners and managers the Journal spoke to said they trimmed which items were listed on the app accordingly, but none said they were comfortable hiking the cost to customers.

The Diver bags 18 to 25 Uber Eats meals a week. “In theory, per week, it’s an extra $400 in sales but with the cut off the top … it’s not a huge amount,” Stoops says. “It’s been more of an aggravation.” He and another restaurant owner have talked about pitching in to retain a shared delivery driver for Henderson Center businesses, but, so far, it’s only talk.

Bonnie DeBord of Mia Bella Cupcakes doesn’t make enough via Uber Eats for it to pay off. “The reason I did it,” says DeBord, “is because no one around here does delivery and we have a lot of parents of HSU students who want to send cupcakes [for birthdays away from home].”

While she tries to handle the deliveries herself, it’s not always possible while baking and running the shop. “I just don’t want people to be without an option.”

She says she doesn’t advertise working with Uber Eats and was even hesitant to let Journal readers know about it since it takes such a chunk out of her bottom line.

Theresa Powell, manager at Stars Hamburgers in Arcata, says the local icon is considering dropping Uber Eats.

While most of the canceled orders are reimbursed, Powell says some aren’t. The kitchen, she says, turns around orders as soon as they come in over the Uber Eats tablet instead of waiting for a driver to be confirmed, since keeping a customer or a driver waiting can lead to a bad rating. If the order is canceled too quickly or before it’s matched with a driver, it may not be automatically reimbursed. “Why wouldn’t you match it with a driver before you send it to me to make the order?” she asks. She says she has emailed customer service to try to fix the problem but has received a standard response letting her know canceled meals will be reimbursed. Powell isn’t fond of the food waste inherent in the system, either. “Even though they pay for the food, we’re not really in the business of making food to throw it away.”

If Stars Hamburgers leaves Uber Eats on the curb, Powell doubts it will have much impact on the 20-year-old business.

“It may just be that we’re kind of an old school restaurant,” she says. “We still hand

write tickets, we still make milkshakes by hand. It’s part of the nostalgia.” Most of the advertising the restaurant does is via community sponsorships, she says, adding that it doesn’t need to raise its profile with Uber Eats.

Just down the street, Amy Wolfe of Wolf Dawg Eatery has found Uber Eats to be a boon, moving plenty of hot dogs and mac and cheese orders out the door to new and old customers. (She’s hoping to keep the trend going when the restaurant transforms into The Choppery, shifting to a “fresh, healthy menu — no beef or pork,” nixing the dogs and selling veggie burgers, chicken and fish instead.) “It’s been great,” she says, adding that over the span of a month and a half, only a handful of orders have sat without drivers and reimbursement for those meals has gone smoothly so far. She also says the 30 percent fee has paid off in new business. Wolfe looks at it like an advertising expense, including the $350 she shelled out for the tablet and photography to appear on the app. “I’ve had a new customer base just from dealing with them.” She gets between one and five orders a day and reports that customers seem happy and “the support team is pretty good.” Her only complaint, she says, is “I know how much better food is when it’s hot,” and only some drivers show up with insulated bags.

Wolf Dawg is also using DoorDash, another delivery newcomer to the county.

It charges a monthly fee for equipment (a tablet and optional printer for less than $20) and a slimmer 25 percent of delivery sales. Wolfe was an early adopter and feels the service’s direct deposit makes for a streamlined process. “I don’t know if it’s 25 percent of my income nice,” she says.

A few restaurant owners the Journal contacted were surprised to have DoorDash drivers show up with company credit cards to pick up deliveries, given that their businesses hadn’t signed on with the service. With a fee and tip going to the driver, and no charge to the restaurant, DoorDash’s profit was a bit of a mystery. Powell says she noticed DoorDash orders, too, before a representative called to say its free trial period was over and offer a pitch for becoming a partner. That pitch included the total DoorDash sales recorded at the restaurant and information on the benefits accompanying that 25 percent fee. No such thing as free delivery after all. l Jennifer Fumiko Cahill is the arts and features editor at the Journal.

Planning spring gardens with shears and on paper

By Katie Rose McGourty

ith the mercury hovering in the frost zone, here on the home farm we’re enjoying the rush of chilly temperatures. An essential but often overlooked element of successful home farming is the downtime of the winter months. We use this time to put up our feet and drink some hot homegrown tea by the fire. Long hours of darkness naturally lend themselves to extra sleep, which will fuel our rush into a gardening frenzy later this month at Spring Equinox.

Last month brought our first snowfall in many years, and we were thrilled with all the neighborhood snowmen. The chilly days and nights continue and it’s prime time to conduct our annual pruning extravaganza. There’s nothing like a little nip in the air to move us quickly through our winter pruning routines with purpose.

We’re also pulling out the trusty landscape design notes and planning our goals for this growing season.

The art of pruning offers the opportunity to shape your surroundings branch by branch. Growing up on a small family vineyard, the task of pruning fell during college winter vacations. I was easily swayed by promises of cold, hard cash and the chance to spend some quality time

next to the pleasantly flowing Russian River. Over the month-long vacation, every grape on our 2-acre plot was carefully pruned and trellised. The stresses of college life fell away as we wiled away the hours carefully tending the grapes I’d planted in the hot summer sun as a teenager and watched mature to harvest year after year. At first, the task of deciding which canes to cut and which to save for the growing season seemed daunting.

But after listening to Dad explain how to discern the strongest canes from the weakest, our hands flowed into the constant motion of clipping and tying canes to wire trellises. Nature’s secrets popped up unexpectedly. One day we found an abandoned birds’ nest, beautifully crafted and perched at the base of a grape vine.

Another day we accidently startled a mother duck sitting on her eggs. After she flew away quacking, we learned to steer clear of her nest to keep her incubating eggs toasty.

After pruning an entire vineyard for several years in the dead of winter, taking care of our home farm’s few fruit trees, rose bushes and deciduous shrubs feels like a cinch. Frost (and snow!) season offers Continued on next page »

There’s no time like the present to draft a garden design.

an ideal time for pruning because plants are dormant. We clean up scraggly and dead branches left over from last growing season, along with undesirable plant growth, such as suckers (stems growing from the roots) and water sprouts (vertical shoots growing from trunk and branches).

Always use sharp pruners of the correct size (larger branches require larger pruners, smaller ones a more fine instrument).

Pruning cuts should be made as cleanly and close to the trunk or stem as possible, at a 45-degree angle to growth buds. The best way to become proficient at pruning is to practice and observe resulting plant growth. As experience brings confidence, pruning can become a creative expression. Shaping topiary (or plant sculpture) provides a formal, elegant touch.

We’ve also got robust climbing roses and Rosa rugosa, or the wild rose, with rose hips used for intense doses of vitamin C. Both require pruning to boost flowers and reduce unwanted sprawling growth.

We adore blossoms climbing over fences and along walkways, and thus encourage our climbers to develop long canes that sprout many flowers. Our community offers several free rose pruning workshops, where we’ve learned insightful tips from experienced pruners with decades of experience. If you’re interested in rose care, branch out and spend a winter morning surrounded by the cheerful snipping of rose pruners.

Pruning fruit trees encourages heavier fruit set and boosts plant health by creating good air circulation around the fruit. Pruning an established tree may seem overwhelming at first and may take several hours. Fruit trees less than 10 years old don’t require very much pruning and should only take a few minutes.

Starting with cutting back overlapping and downward growing branches will set up a good framework. Water sprouts and

suckers should also be eliminated here, as they will not set fruit. Deciduous shrub and tree pruning technique varies slightly depending on plant location and species.

In general, pruning cut techniques include thinning (drastically decreasing vegetative growth), heading (cutting tips of branches to produce clusters of buds below primary buds) and shearing (random heading that produces dense growth).

Late winter is also a time to let our imagination wander through our home farm design. We’ve designated areas of our landscape into distinct sections, each with a different purpose. We consider the design of each section individually and collectively, assessing how to best make progress toward our finished landscape.

Each year we focus on adding a few new plants, building new structures and maintaining the hardscape (pathways, garden beds and planting bed borders). As we tidy up pathways and reestablish overgrown borders, we’re inspired by the coming of spring and a new growing season.

For anyone who doesn’t already have a garden design, there’s no time like the present to begin. Drawing out measured garden dimensions on a piece of graph paper and overlaying tracing paper make for a fun and productive process. Browse the landscaping stencils available at art supply stores and let your imagination wander with purpose and beauty in mind. Along with planning colors and textures, having areas designated for specific purposes, such as vegetables and flowers, kid play zones, dog runs, picnic areas or even a mediation garden, creates spaces that draw us into the yard every day. ● Katie Rose McGourty is the owner of Healthy Living Everyday at www. healthy-living-everyday.com.

Spring Reverb

pring’s coming and along with it is St. Patrick’s Day, the Vernal Equinox, Purim and the Worm Moon.

Also a certain group of my friends — you know the ones — tell me that Mercury is currently in retrograde.

So, if all of this change going on — the most chaotic of which for many of you was probably last Sunday’s daylight savings time — is causing pause and concern, we can all be forgiven for that. And if this week doesn’t find you cloistered away in your home burning sage and frankincense, or driving up and down the coast listening to the Book of Revelation section of the James Earl Jones narrated audiobook of the King James Bible while looking for signs of the opening of the Sixth Seal, then here are some suggestions on how to spend your week.

Enjoy.

Thursday

Pacific Northwest phenom Alice DiMicele has been playing activist-tinged acoustic music very well and on her own terms for the last three decades. Tonight she rolls a solo set out at the Arcata Playhouse for all of the folkies in the area at 7:30 p.m. (price TBA). Wunderkind Delaney Rose opens the night.

Friday Mieczysław Horszowski was a physically diminutive Polish master pianist whose life and career literally spanned the entire 20th century. A last pupil of his, Rieko Aizawa, started The Horszowski Trio with violinist Jesse Mills and cellist Raman Ramakrishnan to honor the virtuoso’s tonal vision.

Tonight at 7:30 p.m. the trio will appear at the Calvary Lutheran Church as a part of the Eureka Chamber Music Series. The program will include pieces by Schumann, Elliott Carter and Shostakovich’s highly dissonant World War II masterpiece the Piano Trio No. 2, Op. 67. ($30, $10 seniors, $5 students).

Saturday

Rosewater is the only local Grateful Dead tribute act of any prominence that eschews the use of “Grateful” or “Dead” in its title and for that I applaud the group.

Tonight the band will play three sets at The Jam (the first set’s free, then it’s $10 after 9:30 p.m.) of music by its spiritual masters. Layla Dias opens at 6 p.m.

Over at Humbrews at 9:30 p.m. you can catch local power trio Blacksage Runners

Alice DiMicele plays the Arcata Playhouse on Thursday, March 14 at 7:30 p.m.

as the boys roll through the hits. What hits? Why the ones from their sole album Takin’ to the Road. For a mere $10 you can support a true blue local rock band in its element.

Sunday (St. Patrick’s Day) As I have mentioned here before, for a guy named Collin, I have never had much use for this holiday. I’m not a huge fan of this bit of Irish-American culture, and I look at day drinking with the same attitude as sunbathing: A lot of people celebrate it but very few look good doing it and even fewer can handle the outcome with any grace. In my book, the gentleman’s version of either activity ends with a discreet bar-tan and a pleasant night’s rest in the comfort of one’s own bed. I don’t need an excuse to catch a buzz during the sunshine hours and I prefer to do it undercover and away from the madding crowd. So with that in mind, here’s a delightful non-canonical event for all the Shamrock Shake Season Grinches like myself out there.

Mariachi Herencia de México is a large ensemble from Chicago comprised of teenagers who have assembled to express a collective love for all things relating to mariachi music. Join them tonight at 7 p.m. at the Arkley Center for the Performing Arts as they play a variety of tunes from their two albums — the first of which was nominated for a Latin Grammy — and various industry collaborations. Revel in the costumes, music and movement of these talented young ones ($29-$39).

Monday

Poetry duo Mercedez Holtry and Eva Marisol Crispin come to the Outer Space tonight on a trip from their native Albuquerque, New Mexico, on their Xicana Revolt tour. Joining in for a night of spo-

ken word poetry and hip hop will be locals Rafi B and Alyx Muro, as well as anyone brave enough to try out the crowd during the introductory open mic. Presented by the good folks at Word Humboldt, this show has all the trimmings for all the kids who enjoy this this sort of thing ($6-$10).

Tuesday Lansing, Michigan, is in the house tonight, the house in question being the Outer Space. The Mid Michigan representatives tonight are Grey Matter — a hardcore jazz noise act — and She/her/hers an indie group which are self-described gender and genre destroyers and denyers.

Local punk act Wet Spot provides regional flavor at 7 p.m. ($6-$20 sliding scale).

Fresh from our roaster to your mug

Wednesday (Vernal equinox, Purim begins at sundown) The brothers Niemann and bassist Will Iermini are Santa Cruz psychedelic fuzz trio Supernaut, named, I can only hope, after the greatest riff from Black Sabbath’s Vol. 4. You can ask the fellas in person tonight at Blondies at 7 p.m. As of press time I don’t have a lock on the door-price but, if the history of the venue means anything, it should be somewhere in the $5-$10 ballpark. l Full show listings in the Journal’s Music and More grid, the Calendar and online.

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

You Had Me at Merlot

It’s Easy Being Green

If you bleed red, white and rosé, you’ll be among kindred spirits this weekend at the Humboldt Wine Festival. The anticipated event, now in its 11th year, pops off Saturday, March 16 at 5:30 p.m. in the Kate Buchanan Room ($45).

Presented by Rotary Club of Arcata and North Bay Rotaract, the splashy soiree is a fabulous way to meet Humboldt and Trinity County wine and cider makers and sample their selections — all for a great cause. Raising funds for community service projects can be a pressing matter. Thankfully, proceeds from the wine festival’s ticket and raffle sales support projects that help area schools, seniors, Rotary International polio eradication, CASA and more.

The evening includes wine-themed games, live music and a Wine Lover’s raffle (grand prize is a complimentary flight and up to 10-night stay for two in New Zealand; second prize is $1,000 cash; and third prize is an “instant wine cellar”). There’ll also be a Dutch raffle and wine pull.

Purchase your ticket at www.humboldtwinefest.com to enjoy unlimited tastings of hand-crafted wines and ciders, nosh on locally sourced gourmet sweet and savory treats, listen to music courtesy of Humboldt State University Music Department and love the wine you’re with.

— Kali Cozyris

Humboldt is known for its greenery: pines, pastures, politics, pot. And ’round St. Patrick’s Day, things get a little greener. While many of the 21-and-up set will look to get lucky at nighttime establishments that serve green beer, Jameson and shenanigans, there are also sober options for celebrating the patron saint of Ireland. No, really. And don’t call him Patty.

Get jiggy with the Humboldt Folklife Society at the St. Patrick’s Celtic Barn Dance on Friday, March 15 at 7 p.m. at Arcata Veterans Hall ($10, $5 society members, free for children under 12). Kick up your heels to live Celtic music

by Covered with Moss and caller Summer McCall.

Here’s something different. Raising Green For Eureka: A St Patrick’s Day Block Party on Sunday, March 17 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. (free). Participating businesses along Fifth Street in Eureka (between E and G streets) are coming together to raise money for the city of Eureka with raffles, a costume contest, games, green-colored food and ice cream from Living the Dream.

What would the Feast of Saint Patrick be without a traditional corned beef and cabbage dinner? Bring your appetite Sunday, March 17 at 12:30 p.m. and join the good folks at St. Francis Episcopal Church in Fortuna. They’re dishing up a tasty corned beef and cabbage dinner, dessert and a beverage for just $10 adults, $5 kids 5 to 12.

Captain Marvel Overcomes the Hero Complex

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

CAPTAIN MARVEL. When the post-credits Easter egg rolled at the end of Avengers: Infinity War (spoiler alert for the dozen people alive who don’t know how the ensemble blockbuster ended) and a swearing, dissolving Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) scrambled to send a message on a pager, of all things, Captain Marvel’s red, gold and blue logo lit up the little screen, eliciting gasps from the faithful and shrugs from those unfamiliar with the iconic comic book superheroine. Sounds like time for an origin story.

Captain Marvel is the first solo movie for a Marvel Cinematic Universe heroine (glances awkwardly at Black Widow) and, following Wonder Woman’s record-breaking box-office success, fanboy backlash and critical success, comparisons are inevitable. Well, the money rolled in opening weekend, the usual suspects rent their trademarked garments and Captain Marvel proved to be a fun, exciting, solidly built super-actioner. It’s not as massive as the Avengers sequel looming on the horizon (can we catch our breath a minute?) and it’s not a game-changer for the genre like Black Panther (2018), but it doesn’t have to be either to succeed. As the MCU swept over us with wave after wave of massive, world-building and destroying blockbusters, they and their often grimmer DC counterparts set a new normal.

We’ve come to expect (with the exception of the Ant Man offshoots) an escalating arms race of A-list stars and end-of-the-universe stakes. Captain Marvel takes it back down to basics and Carol Danvers, in all her incarnations, doesn’t trumpet the arrival of movie superheroines as she expands what they can be.

On the Kree planet of Hala, warrior Vers (Brie Larson), pronounced “Veers,” is having trouble sleeping. She wakes from vivid dreams of dusty battle, a woman she doesn’t remember (Annette Bening) and green blood on her hands. They’re likely fragments of her life before she showed up six years ago, her memory lost and her fists glowing with golden waves of power. To cope with one, she uses the other, sparring with her mentor Yon-Rogg (Jude Law), who, like a stylish retired footballer version of Yoda, pushes her to control her emotions, stop cracking wise and focus on fighting without her amped up gifts. Likewise, when she communes,

Coming for man-spreaders on public transportation. Captain Marvel as one does, with the Supreme Intelligence for a pre-mission pep talk, it echoes the same self-improvement talking points.

On the mission with Yon-Rogg and a squad of elite Kree soldiers, Vers is captured in an ambush by shapeshifting Skrulls. The green, pointy eared fellows scan her memories, offering us a flashback montage of her previous life as Carol Danvers on Planet C-53, aka Earth: crashing a go-kart as a kid, falling from a climbing rope during Air Force training, being belittled by a male cadet, setting out to fly with her fellow test-pilot bestie Maria (Lashana Lynch) and chatting with Dr. Wendy Lawson, at last putting a name to the mystery face. Vers’ escapes with a handful of Skrull on her tail, crash landing on Earth — specifically through the roof of a Blockbuster Video (which you can get nostalgic about but the late fees were some bullshit), alerting us we’re in the 1990s. Baby-faced S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Fury, his hairline restored and skin CG smoothed, responds to her story of a Skrull infiltration with the expected incredulity until he sees it for himself. Soon the two set off to track down Lawson and the tech her alien pursuers seem to be after. That and Vers’ lost identity.

Captain Marvel is still a big movie — alien worlds locked in battle for centuries! — it’s just not gargantuan. The action sequences are plenty exciting, with a super-powered take on the classic top of the train fight and Larson nailing choreography spanning from martial arts to barefoot brawling. But many of the battles — hand-to-hand, in space and even Maria’s excellent canyon dogfight — are remote, unwatched by the rest of the world. The story arc, too, takes the scale down, glimpsing war as it’s waged and suffered by individuals.

Directorial duo Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck (It’s Kind of a Funny Story, 2010; Sugar, 2008) bring a low-key humor, especially from Ben Mendelsohn’s relatable Skrull commander Talos.

There are winks at ’90s pop culture and tech, and a cathartic blasting mid-mansplain. Goose is also the best movie cat since Jonesy in Alien.

This is an origin story of sorts for Fury, too, and Jackson plays him as more relaxed and less of a caricature without his leather carapace — the result doesn’t negate his later incarnation so much as add humanity and possibilities for his

evolution. (And honestly, if you don’t derive joy from watching Jackson cooing at a cat, yours is a joyless path I cannot follow.) The even footing allows his chemistry with Larson to brew into a partnership I’d watch all day long. Carol’s friendship with Maria — and the latter’s loss at Carol’s disappearance — is given room and weight in the story, too, where other writers might have tossed in a generic romance. In terms of focusing on relationships, the smaller scale pays off.

Larson’s performance, aside from its impressive physical elements, is likely the MCU’s most understated. In her Captain, we get a a superhero at ease with her powers instead of grappling with the burden of her gifts and who learns to channel the hurt and frustration she’s been taught to suppress. Her secondary super power, it turns out, is the utterly human resilience of getting up over and over again. PG13. 124M. BROADWAY, FORTUNA, MILL CREEK, MINOR.

The petition for probate requests that RODOLFO GUITIERREZ RODRIGUEZ be appointed as personal represen− tative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests the dece− dent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for exami− nation in the file kept by court.

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 April 11, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. at the Superior Court of California, 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.

Obituary

Esterline Washington February 17, 2019 A Humboldt County Icon Has Passed Esterline Washington, of Aunt Ester’s Barbeque Ribs n Things, passed away Sunday, February 17, 2019. She is survived by one niece, Lorrain Darnes Smith, 3rd cousin, Travis Dell Herron, and 4th cousin, Fatima Sheikh.

She was married to Matthew Washington until his death in 1999. They were married some 45 years. Her paperwork says she was 87, but her blood family reports she was 93.

Nicknamed “Dimple,” she became a celebrity in Humboldt County known for her fantastically delicious, 5-napkin, lip-smacking Bar-b-que Ribs, that came with beans, coleslaw, potato salad, corn bread and sweet potato pie. All for just $25.00. It was a welcomed feast.

She was a larger-than-life kind of character. She loved The God of her Bible and read it daily. “She was right with God and we will see her again….”

Please come to her Life Celebration hosted by her church, First Baptist Church of Eureka at 422 Del Norte Street, at E Street, Saturday, March 23rd, at 1 pm.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear owner− ship of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be respon− sible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this prop− erty by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this informa− tion. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 477− 7869 or visit this Internet Web site www.STOXPOSTING.com, using the file number assigned to this case 18 −21262.

The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

By Rob Brezsny

Homework: Upon waking up for the next seven mornings, sing a song that fills you with feisty, glorious hope.

freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): The coming weeks might be a good time to acquire a flamethrower. It would come in handy if you felt the urge to go to a beach and incinerate mementoes from an ex-ally. It would also be useful if you wanted to burn stuff that reminds you of who you used to be and don’t want to be any more; or if you got in the mood to set ablaze symbols of questionable ideas you used to believe in but can’t afford to believe in any more. If you don’t want to spend $1,600+ on a flamethrower, just close your eyes for ten minutes and visualize yourself performing acts of creative destruction like those I mentioned.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus aphorist Olivia Dresher writes that she would like to be “a force of nature” but “not causing any suffering.” The way I interpret her longing is that she wants to be wild, elemental, uninhibited, primal, raw, pure — all the while without inflicting any hurt or damage on herself or anyone else. In accordance with your astrological omens, Taurus, that’s a state I encourage you to embody in the coming weeks. If you’re feeling extra smart — which I suspect you will — you could go even further. You may be able to heal yourself and others with your wild, elemental, uninhibited, primal, raw, pure energy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In some major cities, the buttons you push at a crosswalk don’t actually work to make the traffic light turn green faster. The same is true about the “Close Door” buttons in many elevators. Pushing them doesn’t have any effect on the door. Harvard psychologist Ellen Langer says these buttons are like placebos that give you “the illusion of control.” I bring this phenomenon to your attention, Gemini, in hope of inspiring you to scout around for comparable things in your life. Is there any situation where you imagine you have power or influence but probably don’t? If so, now is an excellent time to find out — and remedy that problem.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Philip Boit was born and raised in Kenya, where it never snows except on the very top of Mount Kenya. Yet he represented his country in the cross-country skiing events at the Winter Olympics in 2002 and 2006. How did he do it? He trained up north in snowy Finland. Meanwhile, Kwame Nkrumah-Acheampong competed for Ghana in the slalom in the 2010 Winter Olympics. Since there was no snow in his homeland, he practiced his skills in the French Alps. These two are your role models for the coming months, Cancerian.

According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’ll have the potential to achieve success in tasks and activities that may not seem like a natural fit.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In the process of casting for his movie The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, director David Fincher considered selecting A-list actress Scarlet Johansson to play the heroine. But ultimately he decided she was too sexy and radiant. He wanted a pale, thin, tougher-looking actress, whom he found in Rooney Mara. I suspect that in a somewhat similar way, you may be perceived as being too much something for a role you would actually perform quite well. But in my astrological opinion, you’re not at all too much. In fact, you’re just right. Is there anything you can do — with full integrity — to adjust how people see you and understand you without diluting your brightness and strength?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In 1993, an English gardener named Eric Lawes used his metal detector to look for a hammer that his farmer friend had lost in a field. Instead of the hammer, he found the unexpected: a buried box containing 15,234 old Roman silver and gold worth more than four million dollars today. I bring this to your attention, Virgo, because I suspect that you, too, will soon discover something different from what you’re searching for. Like the treasure Lawes located, it might even be more valuable than what you thought you wanted.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “The role of the artist is exactly the same as the role of the lover,” wrote author James Baldwin.

“If I love you, I have to make you conscious of the things you don’t see.” To fully endorse that statement, I’d need to add two adverbs. My version would be, “The role of the artist is exactly the same as the role of the lover. If I love you, I have to kindly and compassionately make you conscious of the things you don’t see.” In accordance with current astrological omens, I recommend that you Libras enthusiastically adopt that mission during the coming weeks. With tenderness and care, help those you care about to become aware of what they’ve been missing — and ask for the same from them toward you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): For thousands of generations, our early ancestors were able to get some of the food they needed through a practice known as persistence hunting. They usually couldn’t run as fast as the animals they chased. But they had a distinct advantage: they could keep moving relentlessly until their prey grew exhausted. In part that’s because they had far less hair than the animals and, thus, could cool off better. I propose that we adopt this theme as a metaphor for your life in the coming weeks and months. You won’t need to be extra fast or super ferocious or impossibly clever to get what you want. All you have to do is be persistent and dogged and disciplined.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Wompsi’kuk Skeesucks Brooke is a Native American woman of the Mohegan tribe.

According to her description of Mohegan naming traditions, and reported by author Elisabeth Pearson Waugaman, “Children receive names that are descriptive. They may be given new names at adolescence, and again as they go through life according to what their life experiences and accomplishments are.” She concludes that names “change as the individual changes.” If you have been thinking about transforming the way you express and present yourself, you might want to consider such a shift. 2019 will be a favorable time to at least add a new nickname or title. And I suspect you’ll have maximum inspiration to do so in the coming weeks.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): For many of us, smell is our most neglected sense. We see, hear, taste and feel with vividness and eagerness, but allow our olfactory powers to go underused. In accordance with astrological omens, I hope you will compensate for that dearth in the coming weeks. There is subtle information you can obtain — and in my opinion, need quite strongly — that will come your way only with the help of your nose. Trust the guidance provided by scent.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Essayist Nassim Nicholas Taleb says humans come in three types: fragile, robust or antifragile.

Those who are fragile work hard to shield themselves from life’s messiness. The downside? They are deprived of experiences that might spur them to grow smarter. As for robust people, Taleb believes they are firm in the face of messiness.

They remain who they are even when they’re disrupted. The potential problem? They may be too strong to surrender to necessary transformations. If you’re the third type, antifragile, you engage with the messiness and use it as motivation to become more creative and resilient. The downside? None.

In accordance with the astrological omens, Aquarius, I urge you to adopt the antifragile approach in the coming weeks.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In 2014, NASA managed to place its MAVEN spacecraft into orbit around Mars. The cost of the mission was $671 million. Soon thereafter, the Indian government put its own vehicle, the Mangalyaan, into orbit around the Red Planet. It spent $74 million. As you plan your own big project, Pisces, I recommend you emulate the Mangalyaan rather than the MAVEN. I suspect you can do great things — maybe even your personal equivalent of sending a spacecraft to Mars — on a relatively modest budget. l

A big, comfy Steller sea lion.

Steller Sea Lyin’

Roomy enough to sleep in

By Mike Kelly

S

washedup@northcoastjournal.com

ome people hunt for meat and some people hunt for trophies — or both, or whatever. They tend to get the proper licenses, take safety classes and all of that crap.

I’m not one of those hunters. I’ll kill anything, anywhere, by any means and at any time. As long as it’s the right size for gutting and sleeping in, I’ll poach it. I once trekked to the North Pole and slept inside a different polar bear every night. And in China I found out there’s not as much room inside a panda as I expected.

But around here there’s not a great variety of animals of the appropriate size.

Camping inside a bull elk for one weekend was enough. Whales are too big to deal with. And horses are too derivative.

That’s why I was super excited when I found an adult male Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus) washed up on my local beach. I was hoping it would have some body heat left or even some warmth from bacterial decomposition. I performed a test snuggle but the carcass was stiff and cold. So, I did the right thing and called the authorities. The specimen was donated to Humboldt State University, where I assume it serves as a dorm room.

Steller sea lions are big and well insulated. They get much larger than the California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) — up to 2,200 pounds for males and 800 pounds for females, versus the California sea lions’ 1,200 pounds for males and 240 pounds for females. Adding to his insulation, an adult male Steller has a mane kind of like a lion’s.

When Steller sea lion spotting, look for the combo of blond body and dark fins, even when they are wet. It also has a more massive head than a California sea lion but its forehead isn’t as steep.

And any of the large nearshore rocks near Trinidad or Patrick’s Point are good places

to see them hauled out.

Both of our sea lions are in the group called “eared seals.” You’ll see ears on sea lions if you look closely. Our local harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) are in a different group and do not have obvious external ears. Harbor seals also are unable to climb with their hind limbs like sea lions, so you don’t see them high up on rocks. And adult harbor seals are so small that you can barely shove a toddler inside.

Steller sea lions feed on just about whatever fishes are available — squid and octopus, too. They’ve been documented making feeding dives of 1,400 feet. The internet insists they hold their breath for 20 minutes, so I’m going with that figure.

Georg Wilhelm Steller (1709-1746) is the guy who “discovered” the Steller sea lion, as well as the Steller’s sea cow (a now-extinct type of dugong) and Steller’s eider duck. Imagine a gutted sea cow lined with eiderdown — so warm and snuggly. Despite the opportunity and multiple polar survival situations, there’s no record of Georg Steller sleeping inside dead animals.

But you know he did.

Of course, my hobby is almost 100 percent illegal. But apparently, you can get away with all sorts of crimes if you just deny them and accuse someone else of the same crimes, which I’ve endeavored to do.

However, I’ve since learned that little folks like me operate under a different criminal justice system than the bigshots.
