Loss and Privilege By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill, Thadeus Greenson and Kimberly Wear newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

s Humboldt County passed the somber anniversary of its first COVID-19 death on May 17 — marking a year that saw at least 42 local residents die with the disease — we sat awash in a swirl of emotions. First, there’s the incalculable loss. This was felt most acutely as we talked to the friends and family of those who’ve died with COVID locally for this week’s cover story, the pain and sadness still so fresh in many voices as they talked about the voids left by death and the loneliness of not being able to hold a loved one’s hand as they passed from this world to whatever’s next. But this pandemic has taken more than lives, as too many of us have also lost livelihoods and health, a sense of security and moments that once seemed promised. Then, there’s the tremendous sense of hope that only seems to grow as more vaccine data emerges. Speaking to the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors on May 18, Health Officer Ian Hoffman referenced state data showing that just 0.026 percent of fully vaccinated residents in California — 2.6 in 10,000 — have later tested positive for COVID-19. “The vaccine prevents severe disease, hospitalization and death, and it’s extraordinarily good at that,” he said. “And it’s pretty darn good at preventing even minor symptoms, as well.” And emboldened by similar data showing the efficacy of vaccinations in not just preventing infection but also spread of the virus, national and state officials have begun lifting restrictions. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now says it’s safe for fully vaccinated people to take off their masks and forgo physical distancing, while California plans to lift just about all COVID restrictions next month. This is all cause for celebration, at least among the almost 50,000 fully vaccinated Humboldt County residents. Unfortunately, as study after study seems to confirm these vaccines offer a glittering path out of this pandemic, too few are taking it, as clinic appointments continue to go unfilled and local case numbers continue to surge. As this issue of the Journal went to press May 18, the county had already confirmed more than 300 new cases of the virus this month, with case and positivity rates far, far higher than the rest of the state. And it’s clear no one is going to step

in to pull an emergency break, shuttering businesses, banning gatherings or imposing any other restrictions. After all, the underlying goal of the restrictions was never to keep people from being infected, only to keep hospitals from becoming overrun by waves of critically ill patients. So as we look back this week on the more than 40 people this virus has taken from Humboldt County while celebrating a future that looks newly bright, we do so knowing suffering will continue and more people will likely die. That’s the reality of this moment. What’s also clear is that each of us now has a choice that wasn’t afforded the vast majority of those we’ve lost to this disease. We can choose to get a vaccine that’s proven not only safe, but incredibly effective at preventing both serious illness and passing the virus on to someone else. It’s an individual choice with the power to limit the pain and suffering and loss of life that’s yet to come. If you’re not yet vaccinated, we encourage you to read this week’s cover story and reflect on what we as a county have lost over the past year and what’s at stake for us all in in your personal health decision. Talk to your healthcare provider. If you have questions, seek out answers from reliable sources. Vaccine abundance is an incalculable privilege still absent in much of the world. Please honor those we have lost by using that privilege to make Humboldt County a safer place for all, and to spare your loved ones and neighbors the grief and loss that anchor every line in this week’s cover story. l Jennifer Fumiko Cahill (she/her) is the Journal’s arts and features editor and fully vaccinated.

Post-Capitalist Sincerity Editor: In response to Mr. Dillon’s recent reaction (Mailbox, April 29) to Cooperation Humboldt’s recent Post Capitalism Conference, I submit the following thoughts. First, economics are for everybody. The word “economy” literally means “management of the household,” and that’s something we’re all engaged with to one degree or another. Economic systems are created by humans. And they can be changed by humans. There is no single default economic system, nor is there any economic system that can achieve perfection or utopia. There are, however, economic systems that can surely do a better job meeting fundamental needs and honoring every person’s humanity than capitalism. Capitalism prioritizes growth and profit maximization above all else — above wellness, above happiness, above relationships and above planetary health. The ideology of capitalism is, in fact, the same as the ideology of cancer — maximum consumption and maximum growth. Left unchecked — like cancer — capitalism will kill its host — in this case, that means the planet that we all depend on for survival. Anyone who’s paying attention realizes at a visceral level that this is already underway. Like it or not, capitalism will come to an end. It’s already dying. We can fight it, we can make jokes or we can welcome the coming transition and help to birth something better — a system based on compassion and equity that meets each person’s needs and helps us thrive in right relationship with the rest of the natural world. Cooperation Humboldt’s Post Capitalism Conference — in fact, everything we do — is an invitation for those who choose to work for a peaceful transition beyond capitalism to come together to learn, to grow and to heal. If that is a vision that resonates for you, we invite you to check out some of the recordings of conference sessions at www.cooperationhumboldt.org/pcc-2021. Tamara McFarland, Eureka

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given emergency authorization to the Pfizer vaccine, and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends that it be used (“Rags to Riches,” May 13). While children who contract COVID-19 do not get as ill as adults, as a pediatrician I know they can still get very sick. They can require hospitalization, develop multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), or even die. Having a vaccine that is safe and very, very effective is wonderful and I hope the families of adolescents will take advantage of this opportunity. California law allows adolescents to get the HPV and hepatitis B vaccines without parental consent, but all other vaccines, including COVID-19, require parental permission. Is it right to deprive COVID protection from teens who want to be vaccinated if they have a parent who is opposed to vaccination? I think California should add more vaccines to that list. Part of the reason we vaccinate is to protect those around us since vaccinated people are significantly less likely to contract and spread COVID. Many teens don’t want to worry about contracting this virus and spreading it to vulnerable friends or family members. Herd immunity is important for our society and economy, and vaccinating children will go a long way toward achieving that goal. If you don’t want to vaccinate for yourself, do it for the rest of us. Thanks, and stay healthy and safe! Emily Dalton, Eureka

newsroom@northcoastjournal.com mall museums and private institutions that accept federal CARES Act money or other stimulus funds could be forced to relinquish thousands of Indigenous items and ancestral remains now in their collections. Under the Native American Grave Protection and Repatriation Act of 1990, museums or other institutions that accept federal funding must compile an inventory of Indigenous cultural items and initiate repatriation of the collections and remains to tribes or family members. At least two museums are now facing possible scrutiny — the nonprofit Favell Museum of Native American Artifacts and Contemporary Western Art in Klamath Falls, Oregon, and the End of the Trail Museum, which is connected to the Trees of Mystery gift shop in the redwood forest in Klamath. Hundreds of other small museums and institutions could also face scrutiny of their Indigenous collections if they have accepted federal funds. “This will likely have an impact on private collections that previously did not have NAGPRA obligations,” Melanie O’Brien, manager for the national NAGPRA program, wrote in an email to Indian Country Today. Museum representatives did not respond to requests for comment from

Indian Country Today. California Assemblymember James C. Ramos, a citizen of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians and the first Native American elected to the state’s Legislature, said institutions should step up and comply with NAGPRA. “If these museums across the state and nation received federal funding in the form of the CARES Act, maybe now is the opportunity for those items to be given back to Indian peoples,” Ramos said. The CARES Act — the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act — was signed into law in March of 2020, providing $2.2 trillion in stimulus funds to families, expansion of unemployment benefits and loans to small businesses, corporations and state and local governments. A subsequent law, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, invested $200 million in pandemic funding for libraries and museums, including nearly $24 million in California, $19 million in Texas and $14 million in Florida, according to the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

businesses in maintaining a work force during the COVID-19 pandemic.” The museum received a loan for $24,200 on May 6, 2020, and one for $24,273 on Jan. 23, according to data collected at www.usaspending.gov. As of May 11, the museum’s website stated that it “receives no government funds and little money from grants.” Founded by Klamath Falls businessman Eugene “Gene” Favell and his wife, Winifred, the museum opened in 1972 with the family’s private collection of artifacts, including Indigenous baskets collected by Favell’s mother, Ruth. Today, the museum is home to more than 100,000 Native artifacts, including a fire opal arrowhead from Nevada’s Black Rock Desert, along with other arrowheads, obsidian knives, Native clothing, stone tools, beadwork, baskets and pottery, according to the museum website. It also houses a collection of contemporary Western artists, including an original painting by Charles M. Russell, and century-old photos of Native people from Edward Curtis. It is not known to have any human remains, as are found in holdings of other museums. But information presented on the Favell website implies cultures represented at the museum from throughout the Americas are now extinct. According to the museum’s collections page, “The collections on display give the visitor a suggestion of the richness and variety of societies no longer here and they illustrate how creative and adaptive the Native people were.” Some of the living tribes and cultures referred to in the past tense are the Chumash, Klamath, Modoc, Apache, Washoe, Pomo and Tlingit people. Favell purchased the fire opal arrowhead and some other artifacts from California dentist H.H. Stuart, another collector, according to the museum website. Scholar and author Tony Platt said in his book, Grave Matters: Excavating California’s Buried Past, that Stuart collected items from hundreds of burial sites, including Yurok graves at O-pyúweg (Big Lagoon) and Wiyot graves at Duluwat (Indian Island). In a recent interview with Indian Country Today, Platt said that during his last visit to the Favell Museum, he noticed that labels on Stuart’s items indicated that the bulk of the collection came from Duluwat and O-pyúweg. Three years before he died in 1976, Stuart sold many of the items to Favell for $13,500, Platt reported in his book. Favell died in 2001 at age 75 but the museum has continued on without him. A Favell representative responded to a

request for comment from Indian Country Today by saying via email that the museum manager was on vacation and that the person who had overseen the collections had retired. A subsequent request has not been answered. Ted Hernandez, chair of the Wiyot Tribal Council, said the tribe has not received a list of Favell holdings. “All of our art, they have a spirit and a life and they (the Favell) are not taking care of our ancestors as they should be,” he said. “Each basket is a living being. They are too close together in those cases, so they can’t breathe.”

End of the Trail About 200 miles southwest of the Favell Museum, the End of the Trail museum operates as part of the Trees of Mystery roadside attraction in Northern California. Trees of Mystery has received three federal Small Business Administration loans totaling $650,000 related to the pandemic, according to www.usaspending.gov. On April 28, 2020, and again on Feb. 25, Trees of Mystery received two SBA loans, each for $250,000, to provide help in maintaining a work force during the pandemic. The business also received a $150,000 loan from the SBA on June 11, 2020, to help restore the company to pre-disaster conditions, according to government records. According to the Trees of Mystery website, the End of the Trail Museum is attached to the gift shop, which provides the only access into the free museum. The Trees of Mystery attraction on storied U.S. Highway 101 has operated in some form in Klamath, California, since the 1930s. It first opened as a fishing camp and evolved into the Wonderland Redwood Park, the Kingdom of Trees and then the Trees of Mystery. In 1946, Marylee and Ray Thompson purchased the site and began operating the attraction, according to www.roadsideamerica.com. The attraction features walkways through the redwood trees, a crude carving of “The End of the Trail” statue and a large statue of Paul Bunyon. A newly constructed Redwood Canopy Trail includes a suspended walkway 50 to 100 feet off the ground that winds through the trees. The new canopy trail opened just as the pandemic was forcing shutdowns but has since reopened, according to the website. The museum opened on March 10, 1968, largely to display items collected by Marylee Thompson. It is described on the museum’s website as “one of the largest privately owned world class museums,” and cites “artifacts

and history of the First Americans.” Photos on the website show display cases filled with basketry, cradle boards, drums, masks, carvings, Native clothing and other items. A Trees of Mystery representative responded to a request for comment from Indian Country Today by asking that questions be emailed to a museum owner identified only as Debbie. That person has not yet responded to the questions. The Better Business Bureau lists Trees of Mystery as a sole proprietorship with four employees, though far more workers can be seen there on a typical day. The owner is listed as John Thompson, who has been identified as the son of Marylee and Ray Thompson.

Repatriation has begun NAGPRA has already hit a number of other museums across the nation, including the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley. The California State Auditor’s office conducted an analysis in 2019 of the university system’s compliance with the federal NAGPRA law and a state counterpart, known as CalNAGPRA, and found that the university had fallen short of requirements for repatriation of ancestral remains and artifacts. Berkeley had nearly 500,000 Native American remains and artifacts as of 2019, and had returned only about 20 percent, the auditor’s office concluded. The remains and objects are stored at the Hearst Museum and are not on display. Research on them has stopped, and they are not accessible to the public, students or faculty, university officials told Indian Country Today. The auditor’s office found that the three universities reviewed — the Berkeley, Los Angeles and Davis campuses — needed to do more to comply with NAGPRA. The Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University, meanwhile, issued an apology in March over its handling of ancestral remains and funerary objects and pledged to work with tribes to facilitate their returns. The Yale University Peabody Museum of Natural History is also working to repatriate some of its collections. The state of Mississippi recently returned items to the Chickasaw Nation of Oklahoma. The remains had largely been found during excavations over the past 50 or more years, and more than 1,000 still must be identified and returned to tribes. And Indiana University also returned more than 700 ancestral remains excavated from the Angel Mounds State Historic

Site. The remains had been in the university’s Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology since 1971.

Spiritual ties For Ramos, the California assemblymember, repatriation is personal. Baskets woven by Ramos’ great-grandmother and great-great-aunt were recently returned to the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians by a local county museum. During a celebration of Yaamava’ — which means “spring” in the Serrano language — they honored the baskets with a ceremony that included Serrano Bighorn sheep and Cahuilla bird songs. Ramos said the songs that welcomed his elders’ baskets home now live inside him and aid in his continuing efforts to bring cultural artifacts home. “Regaining those baskets opens up advocacy that those items are tied spiritually to a people,” he said. Ramos said some museums don’t understand the importance of non-funerary items and do not recognize them as part of the Indigenous cultural identity. Many tribes recognize baskets as relations, he said. “Different cultures throughout the state of California that weave baskets breathe life into those baskets,” he said.

Looking ahead What happens next is unclear. When asked about possible investigations of museums or institutions that received pandemic funds, O’Brien said her office was unable to comment on the status of any investigations regarding failures to comply with NAGPRA. Officials with the Wiyot and Hoopa Valley tribes, however, said they had not received any notifications from the Favell or the End of the Trail museums about cultural items contained within the collections. Hernandez said the Wiyot Tribe is ready to send out a cultural liaison to validate any inventory of items they might receive. “The museums that have our items and are not taking care of them,” he said, “it’s a high disrespect to the Native community.” l Nanette Kelley (she/her), Osage/ Cherokee, is the 2021 California Arts Council Administrators of Color Fellow for the Greater Northern Region.

he climate crisis looks different in different places but on the Klamath River, it looks like scores of baby salmon floating dead in the shallows. With the Klamath Basin facing historic drought conditions, a crisis is unfolding in slow motion, day by day, on multiple fronts as the various entities that depend on Klamath water vie for what little there is of it. “No one is winning in the Klamath Basin and what we hold sacred is being sacrificed across the board,” Yurok Tribe Vice Chair Frankie Myers tweeted last week. “We must come together to find a better solution to this ongoing climate crisis or we will all go extinct together.” Water has long been a thorny and contentious issue on the Klamath, dating back more than a century to when the federal government began drawing water from the basin’s shallow lakes to irrigate dry upland areas. In order to lure farmers to the area in the early 1890s to grow the crops needed to fuel a western population boom, the federal government gave homesteads around Upper Klamath Lake, promising water to irrigate fields, and a few decades later offered 1,0000-plus-acre plots in a lottery to World War II veterans as a show of gratitude. And as more and more of the wetlands, lakes and marshes surrounding Upper Klamath Lake were converted to farmland, the government also created hundreds of thousands of acres of national wildlife refuges around the basin to support the hundreds of species of native birds, ducks and geese. All are dependent on Klamath water, as are two protected species — the federal endangered shortnose sucker — a bottom-dwelling fish that lives to be more than 30 years old in Upper Klamath Lake, which the Klamath Tribes consider central to their creation story and culture — and the threatened coho salmon that the Yurok Tribe considers intrinsically linked to their culture, diet and economy. In a good water year, there isn’t enough to go around on the Klamath and this year, the situation looks potentially catastrophic.

Earlier this month, Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a drought emergency in 41 counties, including those along the Klamath, as conditions approach those seen nearly a decade ago when, from 2012 through 2015, California marked the driest four-year stretch since 1896. For most of Northern California, the past two years have been the second driest on record. On April 14, the Bureau of Reclamation, which oversees the Klamath irrigation project, announced that farmers in the area would only get 33,000 acre-feet of water this year — the lowest allotment in its history and less than 10 percent of what farmers say they need even in drought years. Less than a month later, the bureau reversed course and announced the “A” Canal servicing those farmers would remain entirely dry for the year, blaming an “insufficiency” of the expected water supply. The Klamath Water Users Association immediately issued a press release expressing “grave disappointment” with the announcement and warning of widespread consequences, from infrastructure damage and dust storms to mental health issues

for farm families. But the same bureau also included grave news for the Yurok Tribe and others dependent on Klamath salmon, as the agency said that plans to release surface flushing flows — or bursts of water that flush parasites from the water system and decrease chances of widespread fish disease — were also being reversed. “Right now, the Klamath River is full of dead and dying fish on the Yurok Reservation,” Myers said in a press release after the bureau’s decision. “This disease (Ceratonova Shasta) will kill most of the baby salmon in the Klamath, which will impact fish runs for many years to come. For salmon people, a juvenile fish kill is an absolute worst-case scenario.” Prior to the bureau’s decision, the Klamath Tribes’ efforts to protect the sucker fish were dealt a blow when a federal judge denied an effort to retain more water in Upper Klamath Lake by reducing downriver releases. “The bureau cannot control the current hydrologic conditions; they can only work within these natural limitations,” the judge wrote in his ruling. “The bureau is not re-

A Yurok Tribe press release detailed how the tribe’s fisheries department monitors the river for the deadly pathogen known as C. shasta, catching live fish in screw traps to test them. In the two weeks prior, the press releases stated, more than 70 percent of the juvenile Chinook salmon pulled from the traps were dead. In some upriver traps, as many as 97 percent of the juvenile fish had C. shasta and would be dead within days. Myers recently posted a short video to his Twitter account showing dead juvenile salmon floating along the Klamath River’s banks by the dozen. Adding urgency to the situation is that groundwater extraction has increased along its tributaries, as well, with the Yurok Tribe warning that it is likely there will be insufficient flows on the Scott River for salmon to reach spawning grounds. “We are watching a massive fish kill unfold in real time,” said Yurok Fisheries Department Director Barry McCovey Jr. “The juvenile fish kill will limit salmon production for many years to come. It will also negatively impact many other species, ranging from orcas to osprey, because salmon play such an essential role in the overall ecosystem.” The Hoopa Valley Tribe, meanwhile, sent out a scathing May 12 press release after the Biden administration indicated it would stay the course in defending a lawsuit the tribe brought against the Trump administration. The lawsuit alleges former Interior Secretary David Bernhardt violated cost and environmental protections in dolling out water contracts to Westlands Water District, which depends on diversions from the Trinity River to irrigate farmlands in the Central Valley. Less water flowing down the Trinity River ultimately means less water in the lower Klamath

River, of which the Trinity is a tributary. Attorneys representing the government told a federal judge earlier this month they intend to continue the previous administration’s defense of the case. “The cruel indifference of the Trump administration’s corruption has reached our homeland,” Hoopa Valley Tribal Chair Byron Nelson Jr. said in a press release. “Left unchecked, it will destroy the fishery on which our people have relied as the foundation of our culture, religion and economy since time immemorial.” Nelson later noted that while “staffers made the wrong decision,” he has faith in Interior Secretary Deb Haaland — the first Native secretary in the department’s history — to do what’s right and reverse course. “We are confident that once Secretary Haaland reviews what happened … she will see that this attack on Hoopa is really an attack on all Indian Country and those who seek the environmental justice promised by President Biden,” he said. Moving forward, tribal leaders and environmentalists say a large-scale curtailment of agricultural water use throughout the Central Valley — possibly through the buyback of water rights — is essential to getting enough water running through the Klamath and Trinity rivers to restore fish populations to health. But there appear to be no easy answers to the immediate problem. “What Klamath Basin communities are facing right now is the definition of a disaster,” Myers said in the press release. “It is also the new normal. Substantial water shortages are a long-predicted symptom of climate change.” ● Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor. Reach him at 442-1400, extension 321, or thad@northcoastjournal.com.

Humboldt Polytechnic Gets a Boost

uring his revised budget proposal presentation on May 14, Gov. Gavin Newsom said he’s proposing $433 million for Humboldt State University’s transformation into California State University system’s third polytechnic university. “I am a big supporter of Cal Polys. We have two; we want to create a third. And that’s the significant investment: $433 million,” Newsom said. “We’ve been working with the board of trustees — the incredible new leader at the CSU — about this opportunity to revitalize the economy in Northern California around Humboldt State, and to look at this opportunity to have a third polytechnic campus.” State Sen. Mike McGuire and Assemblymember Jim Wood were quick to celebrate the news via Twitter that morning. “There’s $433M in [California Governor] Newsom’s May Revise budget for a third #polytechnic campus for [Humboldt State University]. So exciting and proud of the hard work #HSU is doing to make it happen!” Wood wrote. “Today’s major announcement — investing over $400 million — to help transition Humboldt State into California’s third

polytechnic university is a game changer for the campus, our regional economy and the greater North Coast community,” McGuire tweeted. HSU has begun work on a self-study report to detail the changes it would make to become a fully functioning polytechnic university to present to the CSU Chancellor’s Office by September. If approved by new CSU Chancellor Joseph Castro, HSU President Tom Jackson would then formally request a polytechnic consideration from the CSU Board of Trustees by next spring. In a recent virtual visit to HSU, Castro said he was excited about the prospect. “Chancellor White invited me to a meeting with President Jackson during the transition, so I had a chance to learn more about it, as well, and I am excited by the idea,” Castro said during the virtual meeting. “I learned more today about some of the details and we have a self-study coming to the chancellor’s office and that will be reviewed and, if all goes well, we’ll present it to the board of trustees for approval.” In a press release, HSU indicated it would put the proposed funding to good use.

In Memoriam

Remembering the local lives cut short by COVID-19 in a year of loss By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

n May 17, 2020, Humboldt County lost its first resident to COVID-19. Over the ensuing 12 months, at least 41 more would die with the disease, part of a national reckoning that’s now claimed more than 583,000 lives, leaving almost no one untouched by the loss and the grief. With the grim anniversary approaching and local rates of cases and hospitalizations rising, the Journal asked the Humboldt County Coroner’s Office for a list of all local residents who’d died with the disease. While it appears comprehensive — including residents who died while getting treatment at out-of-county hospitals — we also know it does not reflect the full toll of this virus. For example, take the case of Esteban Gonzalez, the popular Arcata restaurant owner, who was hospitalized in December with COVID-19 and died of related pneumonia in January, even though the virus had left his system, and is thus not included on this list. There is also the possibility some included on the list were later removed from Public Health’s tally because they were deemed to live outside the area. Those who are on the list span in age from 38 to 102, their causes of death reading like a description of the many ways COVID-19 attacks the human body: respiratory failure, pneumonia, strokes, heart failure, renal failure, sepsis and multi-organ failure. But they were so much more than their deaths. The Journal took the names on the list and combed through local obituaries and news reports, contacted family members and friends, in an effort to capture a bit about the lives of each of the 42 people who died with COVID over the past year. We weren’t successful in every case. (If you have information to add to what we have here — a loved one who isn’t on the list or additional information about someone who is — please contact us and we’ll update it online.) Ultimately, we were able to piece together dozens of stories of lives well lived that ended too soon. They’re stories of scientists and caretakers, pastors and accountants, loggers and artists. They’re about jokesters and advisers, believers and rabble rousers, thinkers and doers. And they’re about the holes that COVID-19 has left in our circles, our families and our neighborhoods. Perhaps most of all, they are stories about what remains at stake in a pandemic that still isn’t over. As one man’s family wrote in his obituary: “We as a family urge everyone to please take the COVID-19 virus seriously. We never thought it would affect our family but it did and in the end it sent our Dad home.”

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, May 20, 2021 • northcoastjournal.com

Ida Adelia Newell — May 17, 2020 An avid reader with a quick wit, she loved golf and traveled the world but always returned home to Humboldt County. Her life bridged Humboldt present and its past, from bootleggers and United Service Organization dances to the Redwood Coast Dixieland Jazz Festival and the iconic Roy’s Club restaurant named after her eldest brother. But those who knew her best say she lived with a smile, a laugh and an ever-present curiosity. Whether volunteering at the local hospital or donning an apron to serve cocktails at Roy’s after her day job in the office of a local insurance agency, Ida lived to connect and engage. “She loved people,” remembered brother Evo Fanucchi. Ida was 97. Robert J. Berman — May 18, 2020 Born Dec. 25, 1923, in San Diego, he joined the U.S. Army and served as a medic in World War II in France and Germany, igniting a life-long love of travel. A deeply curious man, he studied historic boats, read voraciously, advocated for progressive politics and was remembered as a gentle and warm soul. He forged what a colleague told the Times-Standard was a “distinguished career” as a researcher in University of California at Berkeley’s Botany department, where he helped curate collections of plant specimens and helped publish The Jepson Manual, an authoritative field guide. After his wife Evelyn died in 2017, Robert moved to Humboldt County to be closer to his son, Ken. He was 96. Kathleen Lillian Cataldi — May 27, 2020 Born Feb. 8, 1919, with her twin brother to Finnish immigrants in North Bend, Oregon, Kathleen moved to Humboldt County as a child and attended local schools, ultimately earning an associate’s degree in psychology from College of the Redwoods when she was 48. Known in her youth for the striking red hair that earned her the

nickname Red, she worked in the family business, Lehto’s Bakery, much of her life but left during World War II to work in a San Francisco shipyard to aid the war effort. She loved books, had a sharp sense of humor, played the piano, spoke two languages and enjoyed sewing aprons for friends and family. Twice married, Cataldi had one daughter, Karen, who said her mother simply “loved to laugh.” She was 101. Winfred Lloyd Grissom — June 1, 2020 A popular figure in Old Town Eureka, where he spent years walking a paper route for the Times-Standard, Winfred was known for his humor and hard work. Dubbed Winnie or Winky by friends, he overcame developmental disabilities to earn an adult school diploma and learned to read and write before finding work as a mechanic and serving as a longtime docent at the Humboldt Bay Maritime Museum. He loved animals, particularly the small cat who provided him with companionship until his last days. He was 91. James Edward Weeks — Sept. 2, 2020 Eddie was a local who attended local schools before joining the United States Army and becoming a paratrooper, “just as his father before him,” according to an obituary, which notes he “served in Vietnam and came home a hero.” He and his wife, Sandy, had four children. A journeyman plumber and expert in all things carpentry-related, Eddie was known as an all-around handyman. He was 70. Karen Grace Jacobsen — Sept. 11, 2020 A longtime Fortuna resident, Karen spent more than 25 years working in the local banking industry. In 1962, she married Don Jacobsen Jr., her high school sweetheart and best friend. The two would spend 57 years together, having two daughters who gave them six grandchildren. According to her obituary, Karen came to live by

the motto, “Nana’s the name, spoilin’s the game.” She is remembered as a selfless friend, wife, mother and grandmother. “If there were a grander definition of the word ‘love’ that would be how she felt about her family,” her obituary states. She was 76. Bill Pierre Ward — Sept. 24, 2020 Born the second of five children in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Bill “always had a love for nature, knowledge and a yearning for great adventure,” according to an obituary. He joined the Army in 1972 and was awarded a National Defense Service Medal for his work as a Hawk Missile Crewman. He later settled in Orick, where he developed a reputation for using his chainsaw to create intricate wood carvings of bears and other wildlife, later going on to excel in all manner of woodworking. It was while carving at the burl shop one day that he met Jan, whom he’d marry and spend more than 35 years with, raising her daughter and four grandchildren, all of whom he adored. In lieu of a service, his family asked donations be made to the Wounded Warrior Project in Bill’s name. He was 68. Mary Eulalia Harris — Sept. 26, 2020 Mary was 83. Brian Smith — Oct. 15. 2020 Born June 11, 1982, the third of five children in Mandeville, Jamaica, Brian grew up in New York City before moving to Florida, where he got his GED and an automotive technology degree from a technical school, graduating as a master mechanic. “Brian’s greatest accomplishments were making sure those he loved were well taken care of,” states an obituary, noting he “loved and treasured” his two daughters. Brian loved cars and will be remembered “for his strong work ethic, unwavering love, infectious laugh and loyalty toward those he called family.” He was 38. Adrian Douglas Wantt — Oct. 25, 2020 A member of the Round Valley Indian Tribe born Jan. 21, 1931, in Covelo, railroad work, which ran in the family, brought Adrian to Humboldt County. He served

in the Army 1st Division during the Korean War before marrying the love of his life, Elisa Baumann, and eventually settling in Willow Creek, where Adrian found work in the timber industry and the couple raised four kids. Known for speaking from the heart and sharing what was on his mind, Adrian sustained many lifelong friendships throughout the Klamath-Trinity community. He was 89. Louis Perna — Dec. 5, 2020 Born Dec. 17, 1939, Louis went by Luigi, Louie and Lou. He was 81. Beverly Morris — Dec. 9, 2020 Born the fourth of five children to Edna and Ira Ure in Utah, Beverly grew up in Idaho, where she worked the family farm, graduated from high school and served as a sky watcher during World War II. After earning a degree in education from the University of Oregon, she met and married Bob Morris, a pharmacist. Together, they moved to Eureka and purchased Henderson Center Pharmacy, which they operated for 33 years, with Beverly working in a host of capacities. Beverly loved the outdoors, from boating and camping to tennis and birding, and was an avid reader. She loved jazz festivals, gardening and a good puzzle — crossword or jigsaw — and made a mean lemon bar. “She was a woman of wonder who never stopped exploring, questioning and inviting the new and exciting into her life,” an obituary states. She loved us well and will be greatly missed.” She was 92.

William Andy Beck — March 2, 2021 A deeply religious man, Bill was a natural caretaker from his younger years working as a nursing assistant in a Wichita, Kansas, hospital to later caring for his parents in their declining years. “He daily kept them clean and loved,” an obituary states, adding that while Bill’s folks had professional nurses present, “Bill’s big hand was the one they wanted near.” Bill drove heavy construction equipment for more than 20 years and brought a legendary humor and deep humility to everything he did. He was 71. Lester White Sr. — March 27, 2021 Born Feb. 19, 1941, in Hoopa to William and Annabelle White, Lester was a beloved son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, uncle, cousin and friend to many, according to an obituary. He was called into the ministry at 38. “And for 42 years, he spent his life dedicated to evangelizing, preaching, teaching, interceding and after went on to become the pastor at New Life Church,” where he served as minister for 20 years, according to the obituary. He is survived by Charlene, his wife of 26 years, 10 children, 49 grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren. He was 80.

Trouble at Kneeland Glen

A farm stand’s broken lease and its ripple effects By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

o the left of the gravel road entrance to the Freshwater Farms Reserve — 74 acres of marshland, working pastures and trails — Kneeland Glen Farm Stand’s little shop is nearly camouflaged by the vines and shrubbery growing up to its green rooftop. The entrance, too, is obscured by flowering branches on one side and a stall of free items — clothes, shoes, books and VHS tapes — on the other. Inside, the tables and shelves are packed with sourdough bread, herbal tinctures and soaps, homey pies and jams, cookies and bushels of dry beans. The stock is provided by some 30 local producers, some of them farms, others cottage food businesses run out of home kitchens. Some of the produce is grown just outside in a handful of garden beds. Last week, owner Kathy Mullen stood by the table of plant starts in a pair of overalls, updating friends and regulars on

her impending eviction by the Northcoast Regional Land Trust, which owns and manages the reserve. After Mullen repeatedly violated her lease by not keeping her 14-pound dog Tootsie either leashed or off the property entirely — including one incident Feb. 7, when the dog bit a cyclist — NRLT is giving her until the end of the month to move out. The stand, and to some extent Mullen herself, has become a community hub connecting patrons and local producers, particularly during the pandemic. Both customers and vendors have rushed to support Mullen with calls and messages to NRLT, as well as a protest at the organization’s offices in Arcata on May 15 with dozens of attendees. Mullen herself has seemed at turns contrite and defiant, admitting, “The truth is I made bad decisions in regards to my little, tiny dog,” and vowing to fight the eviction. A young man in a sun hat walked over from the garden beds out front and asked

Mullen for a hug. She obliged, patting his back when he said, “I love you,” and responded in kind. “We’re gonna fight this,” she said with a little pump of her fist, “or we’ll find another place where you can work in the garden.” But there may not be much to fight. Under a handwritten sign about the eviction and protest lay a three-page letter from NRLT Board President Susan Moranda, detailing each time Mullen violated the terms of the lease by having Tootsie off her leash or on the property, and each time Mullen was warned in writing that such a violation could lead to eviction. The letter describes the puncture wound and bruising Tootsie’s bite left the cyclist with and the potential liability issues for NRLT. Moranda notes Mullen’s “continued inability to follow our straightforward requests put in place for the safety of othContinued on next page » northcoastjournal.com • Thursday, May 20, 2021 • NORTH COAST JOURNAL

ers” as leading to the board’s unanimous decision to terminate her lease. A few days later, after consulting with a lawyer who offered to help her pro bono, Mullen says she doesn’t dispute any of it. Over the phone, she explains how a “nervous breakdown,” which she attributes to the stress and expense of a recent break-in at the stand, as well as issues with her health (pancreatic cancer, now in remission) and her aging dog’s health, contributed to poor choices and difficulty leaving Tootsie home. “Where we’re at with this whole thing is I blew it. And I doubt I can fix it.” Still, Mullen holds out hope of convincing the board to give her another chance or at least an extension on the May 31 deadline to get everything, including her goats, out. The board’s letter allows for her to tend and harvest the plants in the stand’s garden, as well as those she let others use as a “community garden,” despite it not being allowed under her lease. But she says she’d have nowhere to sell her produce and some plantings wouldn’t be ready to pick until October or November. Fred Diekmeyer, co-owner of Luna Farms two hours away in Redcrest, hopes the board will reconsider, noting, “It has so much other ripple effect to other members in this community.” His farm not only sells produce wholesale to Mullen, it uses the stand as a CSA pickup site, making up a “significant” portion of its sales. Humboldt Baking Co. owner Aron Walters, who attended the protest, will feel those ripples, too. At roughly 100 loaves per week, “Kathy’s at least 50 percent of my sales.” He’s hopeful Mullen will find a new spot and that the stand will also stay open for the community and vendors. According to NRLT Project Manager Dan Ehresman, Mullen leaving Freshwater Farm Reserve doesn’t necessarily mean losing a farm stand on the property. “The building that Kneeland Glen Farm Stand occupies is a permitted farm stand facility and we don’t see that use changing.” While he’s unable to comment on potential new tenants, the location and its rent of less than $500 per month could prove attractive. “I envision a publicly posted application process for new lessees but that is for the board to determine if that’s the path they want to take.” He’s less optimistic about working out a way for Mullen to remain at the reserve. While he’s quick to acknowledge Mullen’s contributions to the reserve and the community, he says: “After somebody says that they’re going to adhere to agreements multiple times on multiple occasions, multiple incidents … we’re left with no other choice. … Trust has been broken and I don’t see how

you build that back.” Another protest attendee, Cheryl Karnes, owner of Kitchen Queen, has been selling her scones and pastries steadily at the farm stand for years, sometimes working the counter. She might earn a couple hundred bucks a week through Kneeland Glen and, while she’ll still sell through her website, she’d miss the Mullen’s stand if it went. “I just like it so much. … Wherever she goes, I’ll be there. I’ll sell my stuff — you betcha.” Mullen has stocked Granny Be Jammin jams and pies for eight years, buying the pies from owner Cindi Hebard for $6 each and selling them for $7. Hebard says it was Mullen who told her how to get a cottage food business license. Last year some 250 to 300 Granny Be Jammin pies and five to 10 cases of preserves a month earned Hebard around $2,300 a month, a helpful supplement to her Social Security checks. Not selling at the stand “will take a big chunk out but I’m tired, too,” she says, and likely won’t keep up production beyond what she’d sell by word of mouth and at flea markets. Hebard isn’t opposed to selling to a new proprietor but she’d like to see Mullen settled elsewhere. She’s sympathetic and loves Tootsie, but says, “Dog bites are a serious thing and I don’t want to get on the wrong side of anybody … but I had to put down a dog who bit.” She lets out a rueful laugh over her late dog Raisin and adds, “Never name a dog after fruit.” The financial fallout for Mullen looks steeper than for her vendors. “I’m gonna lose everything. I’ll be honest with you. I have a lot invested in it and it’s my income,” she says, explaining that she still owes money for installing the stand’s security system after the break-in and won’t be able to make and sell her own soap anymore. The slim markups and relying on some vendors to pay her “maybe $20 here and there” on a loose commission system has meant sometimes dipping into her Social Security to keep the stand running, but she insists “it works.” Mullen says, “People are happy. … I’m not trying to make a bunch of money.” Mullen, who says she isn’t good with confrontation, didn’t attend the protest at the NRLT offices but says she saw photos of those who showed up with signs on her behalf. “It was really beautiful and touching. … It was very sweet of people. I’m loved.” l Jennifer Fumiko Cahill (she/her) is the arts and features editor at the Journal. Reach her at 442-1400, extension 320, or jennifer@northcoastjournal.com.

Dare You Enter The Cauldron of Destiny?

Dell’Arte’s Thesis Festival returns in person By Pat Bitton

frontrow@northcoastjournal.com

strongly recommend you do because you’ll find live theatre within. After more than a year of online performances, the Dell’Arte graduating MFA class of 2021 is going out in a style truly their own, with four original works under the umbrella title of The Cauldron of Destiny. That is the great joy of the Dell’Arte experience — performers with the freedom to create every aspect of their shows, from writing to costume and set design to sound and lighting to direction and performance.

“El Velorio (The Funeral)”

Select members of the audience are invited to participate in the funeral of Mexican-American family patriarch Julian Espinoza. But some uninvited guests show up, too, bringing to light aspects of his life (almost) no one expected to celebrate. Julian is cleverly represented by a puppet who can interact with some of the funeral attendees to reveal the skeletons in his closet. The piece is performed in both English and Spanish, which is a little challenging for those of us with minimal Spanish, and I was concerned I might be missing nuances in the script. However, strong performances by creators Julieta Garza and Oscar Nava ensure the important elements are understood by all — the surprise ending outside in the school gardens is particularly poignant.

“As the World Rises and Falls”

After a funeral, what do you need? Why, clowns, of course. Although, these two clowns have been living in the ruins of their old circus for the past two years, after an unfortunate incident with an audience member and a green polyester sweater closed them down. Now the site is scheduled for demolition, but the pair believe they can save it by reviving their favorite acts and teaching a rat to fly. It’s amazing what an acid trip after two years of eating canned beans and sleeping

on cardboard can cause a pair of crazy clowns to do. Created and performed in equal parts joy and sadness by Laura Jill Murillo Hart and Mark Farrell, with a cameo appearance by Nate FitzSimons.

“Re-”

Just imagine if you could construct a whole new reality for yourself — a reality necessitated by the complete disintegration of society — in which there is no pain and you are all you need. But there’s a catch. You can keep making your reality better and better; all you have to do is give up a memory to the supercomputer that now runs the world. The inevitable end result is a supercomputer that knows everything but is nothing and humans (if they can still be called that) existing in virtual bubbles of complete unreality, disconnected from everything with any emotional value. Creator Sarah Kei Wegmuller challenges us to own our memories as our true human selves in this powerful, disturbing piece.

“Emperor Norton’s Manifest Destiny” In 1859, Joshua Norton, of San Francisco, declared himself Emperor of the United States of America after going bankrupt and losing his mind. Dustin Curry and Nate FitzSimons, in the guise of sidewalk shysters, resplendently re-enact the Emperor’s story, interspersed with bursts of accordion and banjo music (“God’s favorite instruments,” they claim). In their version, the Emperor (a casualty of the American Dream) breaches the Redwood Curtain, observes that the trees are “ready for mass consumption” and establishes the Norton

Imperial Lumber Company. But redemption is at hand when he finally realizes that freedom, not the oppression of others, brings happiness. It’s been a year of great challenges for performing artists everywhere, so the students are to be commended for developing a quartet of exceptionally strong pieces. It’s also been a year of big changes at Dell’Arte and the school anticipates announcing more changes for the upcoming academic year in the next few weeks. But as long as they can continue to attract and train the caliber of performers represented by this year’s graduating class, there should be plenty more excellent theater to come. Four more festival nights are open to up to 35 audience members each night; reservations are required and tickets are pay-what-you-can, with a suggested price of $10. It’s a steal for the first live theatrical experience in more than a year. On Thursday, May 20 and Saturday, May 22, both shows are in the Carlo Theatre; on Friday, May 21 and Sunday, May 23, the shows are split between the Carlo (“El Velorio”) and the Big Top Revival Tent (“As the World Rises and Falls”). ● Pat Bitton (she/her) is a freelance writer/editor based in Eureka who is theoretically retired but you know how that goes. northcoastjournal.com • Thursday, May 20, 2021 • NORTH COAST JOURNAL

y old man grew up a couple years behind the Casanova brothers on the outskirts of Ferndale in the early 1900s. All through my growing up my dad admired them both, even though Johnny Casanova was no longer alive. When he talked about Johnny, my dad would tear up and get shaky. Leonard Casanova was the second-best athlete from these parts; his little brother Johnny was the best. Casanova said later in life that he liked growing up as a farm boy and an underdog, and it taught him useful lessons. As a kid, he delivered newspapers and he worked at the meat market in high school. Casanova, known to most as Cas, was a high school star in all sports. His four older sisters stayed after him constantly to be a good student and make his mark in the world. As student body president at Ferndale High School, he graduated in 1923 and left that summer for Santa Clara University on scholarship to play football and baseball, which landed him in the school’s hall of fame. His younger brother Johnny followed him a couple years later and was another multi-sport superstar. On a visit home to celebrate his signing a major league baseball contract, Johnny died from internal injuries suffered in a collision while riding in the car’s rumble seat. Casanova, seated beside him, was unhurt but emotionally scarred. Casanova had made his first national headlines for a punt, in 1924, during the Big Little Game between St. Mary’s College and Santa Clara University at the packed Kezar stadium in San Francisco. Primarily a halfback, he was also the star punter. In high school, after drop kicking a field goal from 45 yards against Arcata High School, his coach gave him a ball to practice with at home. At Kezar, standing 5-yards deep in his own end zone, he bombed a punt that traveled 102 yards and downed at the 3-yard line, still rolling. Officially it was 97-yards and the longest punt in NCAA history. He rarely referred to the punt in interviews. The night before he was to speak at our grammar school, my dad told me to ask him about it. When I did, he laughed in his deep, comforting voice and said, “I got a lucky roll.” Casanova graduated Santa Clara in 1927 as team captain of two sports and began teaching and coaching in the Bay Area. While coaching the Sequoia High School league championship team, he met a young kindergarten teaching candidate from St. Mary’s College named Dixie Simmers on a blind date and married her a year and a half later. Casanova became the assistant coach at

FISHING THE NORTH COAST

Eureka Boats Finally Get Offshore By Kenny Priest

fishing@northcoastjournal.com

fter sitting on the sidelines watching the wind blow for nearly two weeks, boats fishing out of Eureka were finally able to make their way to the halibut grounds Monday. The fishing was decent but the sample size was small as only a handful gave it a go. Gary Blasi of Full Throttle Sport Fishing landed on the hotspot and boated limits for his crew. The other boats all landed a few and reported some missed opportunities. Tuesday’s flat ocean allowed more boats on the water and the fishing was reportedly pretty good. The smaller ports to the north and south continue to benefit from short rides to the fishing grounds and have enjoyed some of the best rockfish action we’ve seen in years. Strong winds are forecast to return Wednesday and, at least, blow through Saturday.

Weekend marine forecast

After a nice ocean Tuesday, the north winds will pick back up beginning Wednesday and are forecast to stick around through Saturday. Winds will be out of the north Friday, blowing 15 to 20 knots and waves north 9 feet at nine seconds. The wind will start to come down Saturday, coming out of the north at 5 to 15 knots with north waves 7 feet at eight seconds and west 3 feet at 13 seconds. Sunday is calling for north winds 5 to 15 knots with north waves 5 feet at 11 seconds and west 3 feet at 13 seconds. These conditions can and will change by the weekend.

“The wind finally eased up and we were able to get back on the water Monday,” said Skipper Tim Klassen of Reel Steel Sport Fishing. “The Pacific halibut fishing started off slow but after the tide change, the bite picked up. We only landed a couple and I heard the bite may have been

slightly better to the north. All the sign that we saw the last time we were out was gone. It looked like the ocean turned over and it was pretty dirty, which could affect the halibut bite. Looks like we’ll only get a couple days on the water before the wind picks back up,” said Klassen.

SCREENS

Adaptation and Survival Those Who Wish Me Dead, Without Remorse and The Woman in the Window By John J. Bennett

screens@northcoastjournal.com

REVIEWS

THOSE WHO WISH ME DEAD. I put a lot of stock in Taylor Sheridan. His screenplays for Sicario (2015), Hell or High Water (2016) and Wind River (2017) — the last of which was his directorial debut — describe a reverence, healthy fear and morbid fascination with the New American West. His work encompasses the vastness of its setting, while simultaneously distilling the human transgressions happening there into taut, often disturbing survival dramas of the highest order. He has tapped into something at once exceedingly modern and deeply arcane — distinctly American, in other words — and rendered it as compelling, intelligent storytelling. I’m not alone in my fandom: Hollywood seems to be calling on Sheridan more and more. In this case, as a script doctor turned director and persuader of perhaps reluctant star Angelina Jolie. In another, he is co-credited as a writer on Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse, which we’ll get to momentarily. Industry bona fides aside, it has been Sheridan’s name, even more than the compelling casting and boy-catnip Montana murder-story structure, that has had me eagerly anticipating Those Who Wish Me Dead for all these months (pandemic weeks? years?). And while it does not disappoint, it doesn’t deliver the same somehow-soothing charge of degradation and violent redemption as his previous work. This may be down to its being an adaptation of a Michael Koryta novel and a project for which Sheridan was brought in as a hired gun. It may be due to the changing landscape of cinema at large, or the fact that everything has been painfully weird for a year and half and it’s difficult to re-calibrate. By most standards, the movie succeeds mightily: an old-school action thriller with a terrific cast and somehow both new and familiar scenario and setting, absent dull moments or missteps. It feels of a piece with the Sheridan canon but perhaps not essential. In brief, forensic accountant Owen (Jake Weber) who has seen too much and shared his knowledge with others,

flees Florida with his adolescent son Connor (Finn Little), certain of his impending death. They are pursued by a very competent team of killers (Aidan Gillen and Nicholas Hoult) who appear to be backed by nearly unlimited resources. Father and son make it all the way to Montana, where they hope to be protected by Owen’s late wife’s brother Ethan (Jon Bernthal), a sheriff ’s deputy who, with his wife, Allison (Medina Senghore), also operates a survival school. The plan is derailed, Connor falls under the care of a troubled smoke-jumper named Hannah (Jolie) and the assassins set a forest fire to distract from their movements. As the blaze consumes the landscape, the unlikely group of protagonists are set against both human enemies and fire as symbol of human violence. Jolie does subtler work than some eyes may differentiate, and it’s largely due to her reluctant camaraderie with Little’s Connor that the narrative sustains. Gillen and Hoult are chillingly effective and I’ve made it clear I’ll show up for Bernthal anytime. Sheridan gambles on a bigger, glossier aesthetic here than in Wind River, perhaps due to more money and time. Overall, the look suits the material. The fault, I would say, is in a story that may have started life as something less incisive and honed than Sheridan’s original work. (Apologies to Koryta, as I’ve never read him.) For whatever reason, Those Who Wish Me Dead, while full-blooded and consummately watchable, feels like outer-ring Sheridan, which still sets it above most of what we’re likely to see in coming months. R. 100M. BROADWAY, HBOMAX, MILL CREEK. TOM CLANCY’S WITHOUT REMORSE. Just a few passing words here, as I get the impression that most viewers have already decided whether they’ll see a movie with Clancy’s name on it. Again, Sheridan’s name is attached here and it displays some of his trademark violence and instincts. Interestingly, it also re-unites him with Stefano Sollimo, who directed the sequel Sicario: Day of the Soldado (2018), which

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, May 20, 2021 • northcoastjournal.com

Everybody’s socializing in person again and I’m just in my tower in the woods with my binoculars and flask. Those Who Wish Me Dead

I thought was better than most gave it credit for. Michael B. Jordan stars as a Navy SEAL whose team is visited by tragedy after becoming unwittingly embroiled in an international incident that could ignite a third world war. So, in high Clancy fashion, he must rise to the occasion as the unkillable one and avert global crisis. It’s pretty good, if you like this sort of thing. The action is exceptionally well choreographed and there seems to be a sequel in the works. R. 109M. AMAZON. THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW. A.J. Finn’s novel (same title) was one of the big literary lies of the last decade. I read it and saw it as a paint-by-numbers cash-in of the better, more legitimate Girl-Who/ Woman-Who thrillers preceding it. I won’t belabor it; there’s an excellent New Yorker piece on the subject. The surprise, then, is that one of our more talented directors Joe Wright (Darkest Hour in 2017, Hanna in 2011) would sign on, even given a screenplay by the formidable Tracy Letts and one of the most astonishing casts in recent memory. Maybe he was intrigued by the idea of turning the thing into a paean to Hitchcock by way of DePalma (their fingerprints are all over this thing). I’ll never know. The movie, though — about a woman in a window but more about murder and grief in a ham-fisted, dumbfounding sort of way — is messy and lurid where the book tried to be compact. Both seem derivative and, while I wanted to enjoy the former in grindhouse, guilty pleasure way, are perhaps equally frustrating. R. 100M. NETFLIX. ● John J. Bennett (he/him) is a movie nerd who loves a good car chase.

hey came from all over, hoping to get rich, 300,000 of them between 1848 and 1855, changing California forever. Word of the discovery of gold at Sutter’s Mill in January of 1848 (“The Gold Bug,” Dec. 3, 2020) got out slowly, and most of the prospectors that first year — a few thousand at most — came from California itself, Oregon Territory and the northwestern Mexican mining districts. But in 1849, they arrived in the tens of thousands from the Eastern states, from Canada, Britain, Chile, China and Australia. And Europe: 1848 was Europe’s “Year of Revolutions,” and many came to escape the subsequent turmoil, to find gold, freedom and new lives. All told, some 100,000 gold-seekers arrived in California in 1849, of whom 40 percent were non-American. Other than those who came across the Pacific, three main routes were available to forty-niners coming from the East Coast or Europe: overland via Independence, Missouri on the California Trail; by sea to Panama, across the isthmus and again by sea to San Francisco; and around Cape Horn at the tip of South America. This week, we’ll focus on the Panama route; next week, Cape Horn. Compared to going “around the Horn,” the Panama route cuts off 8,000 miles and several months of travel, although it also had its downsides: It was difficult to transport heavy equipment across the isthmus, while cholera, malaria, yellow fever and typhoid were rampant in that tropical climate. Landing in Chagres (near present-day Colon) on the Caribbean side, steamers from New York, Savannah and New Orleans disembarked hundreds of passengers at a time. The gold-seekers paid locals to paddle or pole them in shallow-draft cayucos to the town of Cruces, some 20 miles upstream on the Chagres River. From there, it took a minimum of four days — often much longer — to walk or ride mules to Panama City on the

Pacific. This was the same mule track built in 1514 by people captured and enslaved by Spanish conquistador Vasco Núñez de Balboa, and that later served Welsh buccaneer Henry Morgan when he sacked Panama City in 1671. Once there, would-be forty-niners had to wait for a steamer to take them to San Francisco. One entrepreneur who made the most of his enforced stay in Panama City was pioneer newspaperman Judson Ames, whose story is a saga in its own right. While publishing a paper in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Ames heard about California gold and decided to go there to find whatever journalistic opportunities presented themselves. Arriving in Chagres with a 1,200-pound hand-printing press, he arranged for it to be loaded onto a barge, which promptly tilted over, dumping the press in the river. Somehow he was able to recover it, load it back on the barge and have it poled to Cruces, a trip that took a week. From there, he paid for a team of mules to carry the press, in pieces, to Panama City. Facing a three-month wait for available space on a California-bound ship, the opportunist set up his press and began publishing the Panama Herald. The following year, now in California, Ames started the San Diego Herald. By 1851, five U.S. Mail Steam Line vessels were running from New Orleans to Chagres carrying up to 400 passengers at a time, with another eight steamers on the New York to Chagres run. All this traffic prompted construction of the Panama Railroad, which opened in 1855, shortening the trip from Chagres to Panama City by days or weeks. The 48-mile journey took just over an hour, as it still does today. l Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo.com) considers the $20 he paid to travel by train from Panama City to Colon a bargain.

John Bartholomew Humboldt County Tax Collector Executed at Eureka, Humboldt County, California, on May 15th, 2021. Published in the North Coast Journal on May 20th, May 27th and June 3rd, 2021

NOTICE OF IMPENDING POWER TO SELL TAX-DEFAULTED PROPERTY Revenue and Taxation Code Section 3361, 3362 Pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code 3691 and 3692.4, the following conditions will, by operation of law, subject real property to the Tax Collector’s power to sell. 1) All property for which property taxes and assessments have been in default for five or more years. Note: The power to sell schedule for nonresidential commercial property is three or more years of tax-defaulted status, unless the county adopts, by ordinance or resolution, the five-year tax default schedule. 2) All property that has a nuisance abatement lien recorded against it and for which property taxes and assessments have been in default for three or more years. 3) Any property that has been identified and requested for purchase by a city, county, city and county or nonprofit organization to serve the public benefit by providing housing or services directly related to low-income persons and for which property taxes and assessments have been in default for three or more years. The parcels listed herein meet one or more of the criteria listed above and thus, will become subject to the Tax Collector’s power to sell on July 1, 2021, at 12:01 a.m., by operation of law. The Tax Collector’s power to sell will arise unless the property is either redeemed or made subject to an installment plan of redemption initiated as provided by law prior to close of business on the last business day in June. The right to an installment plan terminates on the last business day in June, and after that date the entire balance due must be paid in full to prevent sale of the property at public auction. The right of redemption survives the property becoming subject to the power to sell, but it terminates at close of business on the last business day prior to the date of the sale by the Tax Collector. All information concerning redemption or the initiation of an installment plan of redemption will be furnished, upon request, by John Bartholomew, Humboldt County Tax Collector, 825 5th Street, Room 125, Eureka, CA 95501, (707)476-2450. The amount to redeem, including all penalties and fees, as of June 2021, is shown opposite the assessment/parcel number and next to the name of the assessee.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aries playwright Samuel Beckett wrote the play Waiting for Godot. At one point in the tale, the character named Estragon suggests it might be possible, even desirable, to “dance first and think afterwards.” In response, the character named Pozzo says, “By all means, nothing simpler. It’s the natural order.” With that in mind, and in accordance with astrological omens, I am going to encourage you to dance first and think afterwards as much as possible in the coming weeks. In my opinion, your ability to analyze and reason will thrive to the degree that you encourage your body to engage in enjoyable free-form play. Your power to make good decisions will grow as you take really good care of your physical organism and give it an abundance of pleasure and release. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): As you enter a phase when gradual, incremental progress is the best progress possible, I offer you the concluding lines of Taurus poet Adrienne Rich’s poem “From a Survivor”: “not as a leap, but a succession of brief, amazing movements, each one making possible the next.” I especially want to call your attention to the fact that the small steps can be “brief, amazing movements.” Don’t underestimate the power of minor, subtle, regular breakthroughs. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Here’s a public service announcement for you Geminis from the planet and god Mercury: You’re under no obligation to be the same person you were three years ago, or six months ago, or last week—or even five minutes ago, for that matter. Mercury furthermore wants you to know that you have been authorized to begin a period of improvisation and experimentation, hopefully guided by a single overriding directive: what feels most fun and interesting to you. In the coming weeks it will be more important to create yourself anew than to know precisely who you are. CANCER (June 21-July 22): As a Zen Buddhist priest for 47 years, Kōshō Uchiyama was knowledgeable about the power that illusions can wield over our imaginations. “If we’re not careful,” he said, “we are apt to grant ultimate value to something we’ve just made up in our heads.” I won’t tell you the examples from my own life that prove his point, because they’re too embarrassing. And I’m happy to report that I don’t think you’re anywhere near granting ultimate value to something you’ve just made up in your head. But I do advise you to be on the lookout for milder versions of that phenomenon. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Leo-born professor Sibelan Forrester is an expert on charms, spells, and incantations in Russian folklore. She wrote, “An empty place where no one can see or hear what one says is the proper locus for working magic.” Spells often start with these words, she added: “I rise up, saying a blessing. I go out, crossing myself, and I go to an open field.” Whether or not you have Russian heritage, Leo, I see the immediate future as being a good time for you to perform magic in an open field with no one else around. What might be the intention of your magic? How about something like this: “I ask my guides and ancestors to help me offer my most inspired largesse so as to serve the health and inspiration and liberation of the people whose lives I touch.” VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Spiritual author Stephen Russell wrote, “Don’t mask or deny your vulnerability: It is your greatest asset.” That’s an exaggeration, in my opinion. Vulnerability is a greater asset than your intelligence, compassion, and creativity? Not in my view. But I do recognize the high value of vulnerability, especially for you Virgos during the next three weeks. “Be vulnerable,” Russell continues. “Quake and shake in your boots with it. The new bounty and beauty that are coming to you, in the form of people, situations, and things, can only come to you when you are vulnerable—open.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): My friend Jenny’s Swedish grandmother used to say to her on a semi-regular basis, “åh tänk om vi vore korkade, vi skulle vara så lyckliga,” meaning, “If only we were stupid, we would be so happy. In the coming weeks, I am asking you to disprove that folk wisdom. According to my analysis of the astrological potentials, now is a favorable time for you to explore ways in which your intelligence might enhance and deepen your enjoyment of life. Your motto should be: “The smarter we are, the happier we will be.” SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Sometime soon I invite you to speak a message similar to what poet Kenneth Rexroth once delivered to a special person in his life. He wrote, “Your tongue thrums and moves / Into me, and I become / Hollow and blaze with / Whirling light, like the inside / Of a vast expanding pearl.” Do you know anyone who might be receptive to hearing such lyrical praise? If not, create a fantasy character in your imagination to whom you can say it. On the other hand, maybe you do know a real person who would appreciate an earthier, less poetical tribute. If so, please convey it; something akin to this: “Your influence on me amplifies my ability to be my best self.” Now is a perfect time to honor and extol and reward those who move you and excite you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Author Aldous Huxley said, “I can sympathize with people’s pains, but not with their pleasures. There is something curiously boring about somebody else’s happiness.” To that I reply, “Other people’s pleasure and happiness bored you? Maybe you were suffering from raging narcissism and an addiction to cynicism.” In any case, Sagittarius, I hope you won’t be like Huxley in the next few weeks. I believe you could glean useful insights and derive personal benefits from knowing about and appreciating the joys of others. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn businessman Howard Hughes (1905–1976) had great success early in his life. Working as a film director and aviation pioneer, he became a wealthy philanthropist. But as he aged, he became increasingly eccentric and reclusive. For the last 10 years of his life, he lived in expensive hotels, where he placed strict and often absurd demands on the hotel staff. For example, if he called on room service to bring him a meal that included peas, he would measure the peas with a ruler, and send back any he deemed too big. I do hope that you Capricorns will also have an intense focus on mastering the details in the coming weeks—but not as intense or misguided as that nonsensical obsession. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian author Charles Dickens (1812–1870) was famous and popular. Audiences packed the halls where he did public lectures and readings. His favorite way to prepare for these evening events was to spend the day drinking a pint of champagne, as well as generous servings of rum, cream, and sherry with eggs beaten into the mix. I don’t have a problem with that—whatever works, right?—but I suggest a different approach for your upcoming appointments with greater visibility and prominence. Like what? How about sexy meditations on the gratitude you feel for your expanding possibilities? How about fun fantasies focusing on how you’ll use your increased clout? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In his upcoming book The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, John Koenig proposes that we begin using “monachopsis,” a word he coined. He defines it as follows: “the feeling of being out of place, as maladapted to your surroundings as a seal on a beach—lumbering, clumsy, easily distracted, huddled in the company of other misfits, unable to recognize the ambient roar of your intended habitat, in which you’d be fluidly, brilliantly, effortlessly at home.” Even if you have spent too much time lately experiencing monachopsis, my dear, I predict this malaise will soon dissipate and give way to an extended phase of being fluidly, brilliantly, effortlessly at home.l
