playing out, the question has evolved into what, if anything, can be done when the most powerful position in one’s government and some unknown other positions are controlled by a foreign entity actively trying to sabotage our institutions and electoral process. How do you fight that? The answer is: you fight it carefully and behind the scenes because you have no other way. A deep-state battle now appears to be in progress and it could determine the survival, or failure, of our fragmented democracy. This malware story looks to me to be the tip of that iceberg.

‘Dreadful’ Editor: Everyone in Humboldt County should read the comments I submitted against this project (“The Cost of Wind,” June 6). If you do, you will probably never think of wind energy as green again. The reason is because most impacts are hidden behind fraudulent and deceptive research. In my comments I give plenty of examples and if needed could provide 100 times more. The so-called bird migration eagle and murrelet research conducted for this project is dreadful and I explain exactly why. When looking over this DEIR, it is important to understand the wind industry playbook. With this industry’s turbine-related research surveys, studies and methods, they may be consistent with some state and federal guidelines but all these guidelines are worthless because they do not adhere to or require scientific principles. Making matters worse, desperately needed wind turbine impact research that adheres to scientific principles is being deliberately avoided by government agencies, universities and conservation groups.

As a result, wind energy developers sit back and proclaim that their research is telling truth. But what’s really taking place is that the wind industry’s contrived nonscientific research is being created to “lie” for developers. This industry understands how to create false research and it gets away with it because there are “voluntary” guidelines. In legal terms, these USFWS guidelines are suggestions and the truth is not required. The USFWS has secretly collected (but doesn’t report) the carcasses of thousands of eagles, endangered species, etc., picked up from wind farm freezers. They have been doing this for decades. But as I know from my interview with an employed wind tech in 2016, not all eagles are given to the USFWS. Currently, the Denver Eagle Repository is receiving about 3,000 eagles a year. My estimate is that 25,000 to 30,000 of these eagles have been collected from wind farms since 1995. Jim Wiegand, Redding

painful and I did not receive the information I should have to warn me of the aftereffects. It took two weeks and several phone calls before the doctor’s assistant gave me the results of my test. My oncologist spoke to a radiologist and they agreed that I should have a lung biopsy. On a recent morning I checked in for my biopsy. I spent four hours at the hospital with little sleep, no food or drink and a difficult, painful IV insertion. After the preliminary CT scan, I was told that the radiologist has decided NOT to do the biopsy. This is the state of healthcare in Humboldt County — doctors who do not stay in the area long enough to get to know their patients and do not, apparently, share patient information with each other (Mailbox, April 4). Prescriptions and procedures are unnecessary or unexplained. Doctors order tests that are later rescinded by other doctors. I have asked many doctors why they are leaving Humboldt County. Two main reasons appear consistently – lack of transportation in and out of the county, and lack of opportunity for spouses and family. Humboldt County supervisors, I am calling on you to step up for your constituents and provide the infrastructure needed to make Humboldt County viable for practicing physicians! We, the citizens, deserve better. Cynthia Shepard, Eureka

‘A Significant Hand Up’ Editor: This year, the Humboldt County Planning Commission is updating the Housing Element (“Draft Housing Element Calls for Drastic Solutions to Humboldt’s Housing ‘Crisis,’” May 23). What they presented to the public this spring was a comprehensive response to the housing crisis in our county. The plan offers options like tiny house villages, safe parking for those living in their

vehicles and secure, legal camping. There are also opportunities for farmers to create farmworker housing on their properties. There have been several public meetings to present this proposal to different communities. There is another one at 6 p.m. July 11 in Supervisors Chambers at the Courthouse in Eureka. The supervisors will not be there but the planners will answer questions and discuss the options. I am urging everyone who sees the urgency of our housing crisis to be there. This breakthrough proposal will only succeed if we, the public, support it and demand it. We have all been enduring this humanitarian catastrophe for too long. You can access the plan by searching for “2019 Housing Element” on the official county website. Look for the draft report with public input. It is 18 pages long and two items, H-IM57 and H-IM58, at the bottom of page 16, are especially interesting. I admire the far-reaching scope of this plan. It provides a sanctioned framework for community members to provide a significant hand up to their homeless neighbors on their way from safe, transitional shelter to more permanent housing. Peg Anderson, Garberville

State audit calls CSU’s $1.5 billion savings into question

3600 Buttermilk Ln, Arcata, CA 95521 www.baywoodgcc.com Build to edge of the document Margins are just a safe area

By Felicia Mello/CALmatters newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

oth the California State University system and Humboldt State University have sharply disputed a June 20 report from the California State Auditor’s Office, which charged that the CSU system is sitting on an undisclosed $1.5 billion budget surplus, which included more than $62 million from HSU. The bombshell report and subsequent pushback have left lawmakers and students both scrambling for more information and wondering who to believe, especially on the HSU campus, which has suffered a string of painful budget cuts in recent years to bridge what administrators described as a $9 million deficit. The audit asserted that CSU had failed to disclose the existence of the money to legislators and students while it raised tuition and lobbied for more state funding. CSU, however, quickly refuted the auditor’s conclusions and said it has been transparent about the reserves, which it needs to cover short-term debts, pay for one-time expenses such as new buildings and hedge against a possible recession. HSU issued a press release shortly after the audit’s release stating it is required by law to designate certain funds “for specific uses.” Those $62 million in reserves are set aside, legally restricted funds for mainte-

nance and future construction, and a small savings account. “Most of these HSU funds are designated for particular purposes and cannot be used for ongoing expenses like employee compensation or energy costs,” the release states. The legally designated and restricted-use funds make up $44.5 million reserved to help pay for student housing, capital and special projects, financial aid, professional and continuing education, parking, student programs, health facilities and local trust funds, according to the release. The local trust fund is “a catch-all category for activities, ranging from state held endowments and grants and contracts to Instructionally Related Activities student fees, student club accounts and miscellaneous campus trusts.” HSU operational fund reserves make up $17.1 million, which also maintains a $6.3 million “savings account.” The savings account would be used in case of an economic downturn, acting as a “rainy day fund” that would cover less than one month of operations on campus, which is less than the five months of operational funds the CSU recommends. “HSU has been working to increase the

level of these reserves, and the current goal set by the University Planning and Resource Committee is more than one month,” the press release stated. In a response to the audit, which described the $1.5 billion as “discretionary” and “surplus,” CSU Chancellor Timothy White wrote, “It is inappropriate to characterize these reserves are either ‘discretionary’ or ‘surpluses.’ In the same way a family utilizes a savings account for onetime expenses and uncertainties, these funds constitute an essential element of our system’s fiduciary responsibilities to manage the university and ensure continued operation in the face of economic uncertainty.” HSU Academic Senate Chair and associate politics professor Stephanie Burkhalter said she and most on campus are still working to understand the auditor’s findings. “What we know so far is that the state auditor and the Chancellor seem to be offering very disparate accounts of transparency and accounting for this money,” she told the Journal in an email. “I encourage everyone to closely examine the auditor’s report and the Chancellor’s response to it before making conclusions about hidden surplus funds. In the coming weeks, I expect we will understand more precisely why and how the state auditor and the Chancellor’s versions of events differ so significantly.” Readers who care about higher education might have questions. We thought we’d answer a few.

What exactly were the auditor’s concerns? CSU tuition has almost doubled over the last decade, funding a sizable increase in the university’s reserves, State Auditor Elaine Howle found. But CSU, she wrote, continues to argue that it has only two options to avoid cutting programs: getting more state dollars or raising tuition even more. “By failing to disclose this surplus when consulting with students about tuition increases or when projecting CSU’s resources and needs to the Legislature, the Chancellor’s Office has prevented legislators and students from evaluating CSU’s financial needs in light of its unspent financial resources,” Howle wrote. $1.5 billion — that’s a lot, right? The surplus could cover about twoand-a-half-months of expenses for CSU, says the university, which serves nearly 500,000 students. Chancellor White likened it to a family savings account, or the state’s rainy day fund. About $662 million is earmarked for

short-term debts, White told CALmatters, such as when the university has to front financial aid checks to students before it receives the funds from the federal government. He said the university is saving $376 million toward capital projects, including deferred maintenance on buildings, and a final $459 million in case the economy goes south. “If we didn’t have that reserve, when the economy flattens we’d either have to offer less or raise tuition more than we otherwise would,” said White. “We don’t want to do that.” The revelation of the funds — which the university is holding in separate investment accounts outside the state treasury — comes a week after state lawmakers signed a 2019-2020 budget that increases CSU funding by about $400 million to pay for an additional 10,000 undergraduate slots at the overcrowded system. “Had we known (about the surplus), would things have gone differently? That’s the $1.5 billion question,” said Democratic Assemblyman Kevin McCarty of Sacramento, who chairs a subcommittee on the education budget. “Is that the right amount to have in a reserve, or are some of these monies available to address student needs today?” Was this money really “hidden?” The university says the reserve funds have been hiding in plain sight, pointing to a 2017 trustee meeting and other correspondence with legislators in which the investment accounts were discussed. CSU has even launched a new financial transparency website that allows users to view university spending down to the campus level. The audit, however, says that while lawmakers might have known about the total balance in the accounts, they weren’t necessarily aware how much was being held in reserve. “That issue never came up,” said McCarty, when asked if legislators discussed the surplus during budget hearings. The law requires CSU to discuss any proposed tuition increases with the Cal State Student Association. But the university did not provide information about the reserves to students during conferences that led to a tuition hike in the 2017-18 school year, the audit found — an omission that student association president Mia Kagianas called “disappointing and concerning.” “Students deserve accessible information on the institution’s budget in decision making processes that directly impact their lives,” Kagianas said in a statement. Administrators didn’t bring up the reserves with students, White said, because

they would never use such one-time savings to cover ongoing operating expenses. That’s actually smart fiscal policy, said Kevin Cook, a higher education researcher at the Public Policy Institute of California. “It’s a good idea for the system to have these reserves, because if revenue goes away and they have to tap into the reserves, then they can preserve access,” he said. “But obviously if they’re making money and not disclosing it, then that’s an issue.”

ley Weber had proposed a bill that would have required campuses to lower the cost of student permits, but it stalled. As it stands, university labor contracts require faculty and staff to pay less than students. “It’s one of those issues that’s so simple — anyone can understand it and see that it’s morally not the right thing,” Washington said. “Something should be done.” White said he accepted the challenge to “think more deeply about alternative

transportation” and agreed with students’ concerns that charging them more for parking was unfair. “I think as we go into the future, that will be something we will be working hard to make more fair for our employees as well as for our students.” What happens now? The Legislature’s audit committee could call a hearing, at which both the auditor and CSU would testify. Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis, who sits on the CSU Board of

Trustees, has also called for a discussion of the audit at the trustees’ July meeting. l Journal staff writer Iridian Casarez contributed to this report. Adria Watson contributed to this report.

Wait, didn’t something like this happen with the University of California recently? Yep. UC President Janet Napolitano came under fire after a 2017 state audit found she’d set up a secret $175 million fund for special projects that she hid from the university’s regents. The CSU reserves are nearly ten times as large as the amount Napolitano reportedly squirreled away. But there are key differences: Napolitano also faced accusations of using the money to provide above-market pay and benefits to her staff, and pressuring campuses to change their responses to an auditor’s survey. No such charges have been raised so far in relation to the current audit. Still, CSU has faced criticism before for its financial management — including last year, when it gave raises to highly-paid executives just after successfully lobbying the Legislature for more funding. A pending bill would bar the university from raising executive pay within a year of any tuition increase. What else did the audit find? The audit also examined CSU’s parking system, criticizing the university for raising the cost of student permits as high as $236 a semester without significantly increasing the number of spaces. Administrators failed to consider alternative transportation options such as shuttles, buses and bicycles before building expensive parking garages, the audit found. Auditors focused that review on four campuses: Channel Islands, Fullerton, Sacramento and San Diego. While the audit did not find that the university misused any of the parking proceeds, it highlighted disparities in parking fees, with students paying nearly three times what faculty and staff pay to park. The average parking permit for students costs about $171 — compared to $68 for faculty and $70 for staff. Mary Washington, a lobbyist for the student association, said students had hoped the audit would offer ways to ease the burden on them.

How We Let This Happen By Cutcha Risling Baldy views@northcoastjournal.com

here are children in concentration camps in the United States right now. On the news they call them “migrant children” (not children fleeing for their lives or seeking asylum or in desperate need of aid — just “migrant children”). Talking heads are debating the use of the term “concentration camp.” “Sure these kids are being held behind fences where sometimes they have to sleep on cement floors, they can’t get access to basic hygiene and some of them are dying, but are they really concentration camps?” They want to debate terminology because what happens when we start to call them concentration camps instead of “holding facilities?” We all become culpable for our country’s policies and laws that would torture and kill children while we debate semantics. And 150 years from now students will sit in a classroom and wonder, “How could they? Why didn’t everyone stop it?” When I teach classes on California Indians and the gold rush, when we start talking about the laws and policies made by the state of California and the federal government legalizing the mass killing and enslavement of Native people, and when I finally point out that in Humboldt County most enslaved Native peoples were children ages 7-12, there is always one question students ask me: “How could everyone have let this happen?” I mention the work of Brendan Lindsay who in 2012 wrote Murder State: California’s Native American Genocide 1846-1873, in which he argued it wasn’t just the laws and policies of the government that supported genocide, it was the “tacit acceptance” of these laws, policies, massacres, enslavement, imprisonment and removals by “everyday citizens” who allowed it to happen. One-hundred-andfifty years later, we are trying to figure out why “those people” would sit by while others massacred villages and took and enslaved women and children. We want to think it was a “different time” or that if it happened now, we would stop it. We wouldn’t debate whether Indigenous people are actually people (a common debate throughout history). We would be the people who knew right from wrong. Yet here we are, debating the use

of the term “concentration camp” and whether or not these children and parents deserve this treatment because they are supposedly “breaking the law.” Many of these migrants are Indigenous peoples from other countries legally seeking asylum, fleeing horrific situations, willing to endure whatever it takes to secure a better life for their families. They are human beings locked in cages because on some piece of paper somewhere, someone said it was “legal” to do so. During the gold rush, the state of California passed the Act for the Government and Protection of Indians, which made it illegal to be an Indian standing around. If you were caught standing around they could arrest you. And when you appeared before the justice of the peace, he would say, “You have to pay this much as your fine.” But you couldn’t pay it, so the judge would ask, “Can anyone pay this Indian’s fine? If you do, they have to come and work for you.” The act also made it legal to take any child you found “without parents” into “apprenticeship” so settlers started killing Indian parents and taking their children. There are letters from soldiers talking about how they would meet people with numerous Indian children in their wagons. When the soldiers asked how they got these children, they would answer, “I killed their parents.” It was legal. It was the law. And people could tell themselves, “Look, if Indians don’t want to be enslaved, they need to follow the law. If they break the law, they have to deal with consequences like enslavement, removal, imprisonment and torture of children. That’s the law.” In my lectures, people tell me that we wouldn’t do that now. We would know that the law was unjust. “Now that we know better,” or “now that it’s a different time,” we would be the ones who stepped forward and fought for those who needed us most. Because it was legal in 1850 to hunt Indians, to arrest Indians for standing around, to sell them into slavery, to kill Indian parents and take their children into slavery. And yes, the semantics of the word “apprenticeship” became so important to them. To this day there are historians who debate the semantics of “slavery” in California. And the semantics of genocide.

Why I Support Terra-Gen’s Wind Project By Michael Winkler views@northcoastjournal.com

want to highlight why I support the Terra-Gen wind project and how the project fits into Redwood Coast Energy Authority’s (RECEA’s) larger, long-term goals for using local, renewable energy production to promote local economic development and reduce the environmental impact of our energy use. With respect to the Terra-Gen wind project, I support it because: • It can potentially provide substantial environmental and economic benefits to the citizens of Humboldt County. • Large-scale onshore wind at the proposed location is the best choice for Humboldt County, at this time, for producing a large percentage (40 percent) of our electricity from local, renewable sources. • Potential negative impacts of the project can be reduced to levels acceptable to the community. • The project aligns with the goals of RCEA’s Comprehensive Action Plan for Energy (CAPE). • Producing increasing amounts of electricity from local renewable sources is a perfect complement to converting existing end-use of natural gas and vehicle fuels to electricity. • The project will produce electricity for Humboldt County at very competitive prices and will greatly help RCEA meet its commitment for “100 percent of electricity, from clean, renewable sources by 2025.” • Climate change is a critical issue that is already having substantial negative impacts. We in Humboldt County have a moral responsibility to our children and future generations to leave them a world as healthy and vibrant as the one we inherited from our parents and ancestors. Arguing that our local impact is small is no excuse for doing all that we can locally and doing so as soon as we can responsibly do so.

In Humboldt County, less than 25 percent of the electricity we use and less than 10 percent of total energy comes from local, renewable sources. Of the millions of dollars that we spend on energy, little remains in our county to create jobs, pay for government services or promote local economic development. Every year, we in Humboldt County dump millions of tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

There are only three potential local renewable energy sources that have been commercialized and that are capable of providing a significant percentage of our local energy use: biomass, wind and solar photovoltaic. An ideal renewable energy source would be low-cost, available when we need it and have low impacts. Biomass — We locally produce about 20 percent of electricity used in the county from biomass. Cost is slightly higher than electricity imported from outside the county. Because of limitations on the availability of wood waste biomass and the expressed desire of the community to limit air emissions, I don’t see expansion of wood waste electricity production as likely. Biomass power output is constant, which is desirable. Wind — Humboldt has some of the strongest and most consistent winds in North America, especially offshore. The proposed Terra-Gen site is the best onshore in the county in terms of winds, grid access and electricity cost. Offshore has stronger and more consistent winds, but will not be in commercial operation before 2025 and will likely be significantly more expensive than onshore until at least 2030. Long term, there is great potential for expansion of offshore wind. Wind output is variable depending on wind speed but is a good fit for the county’s daily and seasonal patterns of energy consumption. Wind energy, both onshore and offshore, would provide substantial net greenhouse reduction benefits even when including all aspects of a project. Solar PV – In Humboldt County, this is two to four times as expensive per unit of electricity than onshore wind. Large daily and seasonal variability of PV greatly limits

the amount of energy that the electric grid can carry without major transmission upgrades. PV is not the best match for electricity use patterns of the county to produce a large percentage of our energy. PV has played and still can play an important role in giving individuals more direct control of their energy and for emergency back-up. PV has minimal local environmental impacts but significant impacts in manufacturing, disposal and recycling of panels and other equipment. The Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR), commissioned by Humboldt County, identifies potential impacts from the project and, for impacts that are significant, describes methods to reduce them to less than significant. I urge members of the public who are concerned to read the DEIR and to testify in writing or in person to the Humboldt County Planning Commission to improve the DEIR and to correct parts of the project you feel are deficient. I am also expecting that Terra-Gen will sign formal agreements with local labor leaders to maximize local employment during construction and operation of the system. Terra-Gen is a large outside company that exists to make a profit for its investors. It does so by producing energy from renewable and non-renewable sources in compliance with federal, state and local codes and standards. I would have preferred that a wind turbine project at this site were being developed by a local developer but none has the capacity to do a project on this scale. RCEA exists to give the citizens of Humboldt County public control of energy in the County. RCEA has been successful because:

• We are technical experts. • We are financially, ethically and environmentally responsible. • We reflect the diverse values and priorities of the individuals and communities of Humboldt in the energy sources that we use and the energy products and services that we provide. • We use energy to promote local economic development, maximize local economic benefits and create and maintain local jobs. I have worked in the sustainable energy field for more than 20 years as an engineer and as an elected official and have dedicated myself to the goal of seeing that we in Humboldt County, on balance, produce all our energy from local renewable sources. I think wind turbines are beautiful. I would be happy to have sight of them from my backyard. I have no financial stake in this project or in the wind industry. All energy sources have impacts. It is right for us as a county to minimize those impacts and to take responsibility for the impacts that our energy use causes. It is also right for us to maximize the local benefit from production of the energy that we use. For all those reasons, I support the Terra-Gen wind project. l Michael Winkler is a member of the Arcata City Council and the chair of the Redwood Coast Energy Authority’s Board of Directors. The views expressed above represent his personal opinion, though he believes them to be consistent with the positions and policies of RCEA and its staff.

Sheriff Outfits Some Jail Staff with Body-Worn Cameras

n response to a sharp spike in inmate assaults on officers, the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office is outfitting some correctional officers in the jail with body-worn cameras that it hopes will increase safety. According to Capt. Duane Christian, the office purchased 14 cameras — seven to be worn on day shifts and seven on night shifts in the jail’s celled housing units. These units generally house the jail’s higher security inmates and have also been the locations of most assaults on officers. Christian said outfitting correctional officers in the jail’s dormitory-style housing units would have been too costly at this time, noting that the sheriff’s office has committed $90,000 for the purchase and maintenance of the cameras — and legally required storage of the footage — for five years. While the press release from the sheriff’s office touted the cameras tools to enhance safety in the jail, Christian said they will also be used to collect evidence for potential prosecutions of illegal activity within the jail and also as a means to vet allegations of employee misconduct. The cameras will not be used in the medical wing or in the jail’s pat-down

room, where officers conduct intake interviews with people being booked into the jail. Christian said this is to protect patient privacy under HIPAA and in hopes that it will garner more honest answers during the booking process. While Sheriff William Honsal has long stated that he hopes to outfit his patrol deputies with body-worn cameras, the costs associated with purchasing another 50 cameras and storing all recorded footage for the legally required two years is high and has thus far proven prohibitive. Based on the cost of the 14 cameras for a portion of the jail’s staff, outfitting the entire patrol division could cost more than $300,000. Additionally, Honsal said there are some other challenges. A full rollout of bodyworn cameras would require that resident deputies and others working in remote areas be able to upload massive amounts of footage to cloud storage, which necessitates high-speed internet connections. The sheriff’s office would also need to dedicate one or two full-time staff positions to editing and redacting video footage to be used in court or released to the public, Honsal said, adding that some other agencies have “gotten themselves in

Week in Weed

The Cannabis Cup Runneth Over By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

eriously, though, California has way too much weed. I mean, even if you ignore all the black market stuff out there, the Golden State just has too much weed, and that’s even before that 147-acre monstrocity in Santa Barbara County comes online. Vessel Logistics, a San Francisco-based processor, manufacturer and wholesaler, recently released a 16-page harvest projections report that paints a pretty bleak picture for those farmers in California’s regulated market. With 1,142 acres of land permitted for cannabis cultivation as of the end of April, California was on track to produce an estimated 9 million pounds of cannabis this year, according to the company’s projections. The trouble is the company projects the legal wholesale market will only buy 1.8 million to 2.2 million pounds of that, leaving a glut of cannabis on the market. Heck, even if farmers were to cut their production in half, they’d still produce twice as much weed as consumers are ready to purchase through legal markets, according to the projections. (It’s worth noting that this imbalance is only expected to grow as more cultivators enroll in the state’s track-and-trace program, which is designed to curtail diversions to the black market.) And because cannabis products have a shelf life, the report predicts this supply-demand imbalance will send prices plummeting. Jacqueline McGowan, a cannabis lobbyist with K Street Consulting, told the Sacramento Bee that the price plunge would undoubtedly cause pain for cultivators, sending many out of business, it might be good for the market as a whole. It would make regulated cannabis products cheaper for consumers, which she said is the best way for the regulated market to compete with its illicit counterpart. “Will this cause another extinction event? Absolutely. But will it cause the industry to collapse? No, it will not,” she said. Facing a similar supply-demand imbalance, Oregon is taking some drastic steps. When the state legalized recreational cannabis in 2014, it intentionally set up a system with very low barriers to entry, wanting to get as many of the state’s black market growers into the new regulatory framework as possible. While that arguably worked, it also left the state with a glut of legal weed, plummeting prices and struggling farmers. According to a report from the Oregon Liquor Control Commission, the state’s 2,100 licensed growers

were projected to produce more than six times what the state’s 4 million residents were expected to consume in 2019. And this after consumers saw the average retail price of cannabis cut in half over a twoyear period, according to an article in the Los Angeles Times. Realizing the current situation is untenable, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown signed a pair of bills earlier this month lawmakers hope will put the Beaver State’s weed industry on a greener path. First, there is Senate Bill 218, which gives the liquor commission more discretion on licensing, allowing it to assess supply and demand conditions before allowing new farms to enter the regulated market. This can’t hurt but the Legislature already imposed a moratorium on the issuance of new licenses a year ago. Then there’s the far more ambitious Senate Bill 582, which authorizes the governor to enter into cannabis import and export agreements with other states. This plan is an obvious solution, right? Why wouldn’t you try to grow a bunch of something that grows really well in one geographic area and then look to export it to places where said crop doesn’t grow? It’s the same market principle that allows us to buy avocados at the market here on the North Coast. There is, of course, a major catch. It’s the federal government that regulates interstate commerce and cannabis remains classified as an illegal Schedule 1 drug under the Controlled Substances Act. This leaves Oregon’s plan either dependent upon Congress acting to change cannabis’ federal status or the benevolence of the Department of Justice inder the Trump Administration, which, a few platitudes aside, has done nothing to push the county toward a saner approach to marijuana laws. Undeterred, the Craft Cannabis Alliance, which pushed the Oregon bill, is lobbying to get a similar one passed in California with the goal of legally moving cannabis between states by 2021. A word to the wise: The alliance may want to start stumping for political candidates in 2020 because without a sympathetic administration whose party controls both houses of Congress, this state law is worth less than all that bud it’s intended to protect. l Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor.

Humboldt County’s largest unincorporated area mulls whether cityhood is a path to prosperity By Elaine Weinreb

newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

ome see McKinleyville — Humboldt County’s third-largest population center, and one of its fastest growing — as the 18-yearold high school graduate ready to leave home. The prospect of freedom from parental control is tempting — she’ll finally be able to make her own decisions about where she goes and how she’ll get there. But she would also face the burden of fully supporting herself, paying the rent and utilities without help from mom and dad, maybe even getting a second job to make ends meet. Does McKinleyville really want the freedom — and the financial responsibility — of becoming an incorporated city? It’s a question that’s been raised repeatedly over the past 50 years, as the community has quickly grown from a small agricultural village to what would be Humboldt’s third largest city if it were, in fact, a city. The idea made it to the ballot in 1966 but the community, then largely agricultural, saw few advantages to cityhood and voted it down. A few decades later, in 1997, the question was re-considered. A study conducted by students at Humboldt State University examined the revenues and expenses associated with running the town,

concluding that McKinleyville generated enough revenue to stand alone, though no one pushed the idea forward. But now, recently seated Fifth District Supervisor Steve Madrone has been pushing the issue since upsetting incumbent Ryan Sundberg in last year’s election. Madrone says that while on the campaign trail, many McKinleyville residents asked him if incorporation would be possible. He’s now asking the same question, wanting to examine the county’s finances to see if incorporation is still financially feasible. “Is the county making money on McKinleyville? Is it losing money? Nobody knows,” Madrone says. “If (the county’s) making money, (McKinleyville) should be getting more services. If it’s losing money, (the county) might well want to get out from under the burden of running a city.” In recent weeks, Madrone has gathered support — albeit somewhat reluctant — from the McKinleyville Community Services District’s Board of Directors and the McKinleyville Advisory Committee for his fact-finding mission, as both voted to support his request to start having county department heads track how much of their budgets are being spent on providing

14 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, June 27, 2019 • northcoastjournal.com

services to McKinleyville. In the coming weeks, he’s slated to take the request back to the board of supervisors in an effort to move the process forward. Interestingly, for an idea that’s now bounced around for more than a half-century, not to mention one that hinges on a lengthy bureaucratic process and deepdive accounting, the question of whether McKinleyville should step out on its own is divisive in the town where it was long bragged that horses have the right of way. It’s so divisive, in fact, that many contacted by the Journal for this story asked not to be identified, whether or not they had much to say. “I support the idea of getting financial data on McKinleyville expenses and income to the county on which to base decisions about incorporation but I have no opinions on it yet,” said one woman, asking that her name not be used in the story. “This is a really divisive issue,” said another, “so I don’t want to be quoted about it.”

Humboldt County is home to seven incorporated cities — Arcata, Blue Lake, Eureka, Ferndale, Fortuna, Rio Dell and

Trinidad. Each is governed by an elected city council, whose members listen to their constituents (or are supposed to, anyway) and then negotiate with each other to make decisions and plan for their city’s present and future needs. They have control over some — but not all — of the revenues collected through property taxes, sales taxes and vehicle license fees. A city council must also make sure basic services are provided to the town’s residents and there is enough money in the budget to pay for them. Such services include law enforcement, road maintenance, delivery of drinking water, processing of wastewater, trash collection, maintenance of parks and trails and whatever other amenities citizens decide they are willing to pay for. McKinleyville does not have a city council. Its major decisions are made by the county Board of Supervisors, with one of its five members representing the county’s expansive Fifth District, which includes McKinleyville and stretches from the Mad River north to the county line and east past Willow Creek. In the frequently polarized district, McKinleyville voters not only must grapple with the likelihood they disagree with their supervisor on

a given issue, but that said supervisor is also juggling the interests of many smaller communities scattered over hundreds of square miles. For a town with more than 15,000 residents — or more than double the combined populations of Rio Dell, Ferndale, Blue Lake and Trinidad — McKinleyville residents can sometimes feel they don’t have a seat at the table. McKinleyville takes care of most of its own basic services — water, sewage, parks and recreation and street lights — through its community services district, which collects monthly fees according to the amount of services provided, and most people seem reasonably contented with it. However, community planning, zoning decisions, road maintenance and law enforcement services are all provided by the county and McKinleyville residents have no direct voice as to how much the county will spend on these services, and how, where and when they will be delivered. Some residents wish they had more direct control over planning their community’s future and would like to see the town incorporate. Others are perfectly content with things staying the same, not wanting to take on the added tax burdens and responsibilities that would likely come with cityhood. The basic problem with incorporation is financial. Even after the community incorporates, state law requires that some of the city’s property, sales and vehicle tax subventions go back to the county. Current state law demands any new incorporations be revenue neutral, meaning they won’t negatively impact the counties from which the fledgling cities are splitting. Ideally, the savings from the counties’ no longer providing services to the city would compensate for the loss of tax revenue the counties would face. But that one-for-one trade-off seldom happens. If a county does lose money through the transaction, the city would have to find some way of paying it back, which generally translates to new taxes in the new city. And even if the county does not lose money, the new city has to fund the services previously paid for by the county. But there’s more to such a move than finances. After all, how many 18 year olds would ever leave home if analyzing the move strictly on a dollars-and-cents basis?

When you listen to those who favor

incorporation in McKinleyville, you quickly get the sense their frustrations and curi-

osities extend beyond a balanced budget. Instead, it’s often the stuff of the high school senior tired of the way his or her folks stock the fridge, decorate the home, set curfews and dole out punishments. Some simply feel their voice doesn’t carry much weight around the proverbial family dinner table. There was the recent controversy surrounding the permitting of a Dollar General store at the corner of McKinleyville Avenue and Murray Road, right across the street from McKinleyville High School. Many residents felt it was an inappropriate locale for the discount store, which now sits in a predominantly residential neighborhood, but the county had zoned the property such that the store was a principally permitted use. By the time Dollar General came knocking, its hands were tied. If McKinleyville were an incorporated city, it could make its own zoning maps

but, at present, the county is the boss on land use matters. There are plenty of other examples, too. There was the flap over the county’s decision to build a social services center in town and the zoning provision that made it difficult — and costly — to open preschool childcare facilities in McKinleyville, despite a desperate need. Others point to 2010, when the county decided that in order to meet state-defined housing goals, it would zone swaths of McKinleyville for high-density, multi-family housing developments, Continued on page 17 »

despite the community services district’s protestations that it didn’t have the sewer capacity to accommodate such development. The district sued and, eventually, the county backed off. But the county nonetheless passed a General Plan Update that many felt ignored or trampled the existing McKinleyville Community Plan on which many residents had labored long and hard. (Some also complain that the county hasn’t done enough to support the McKinleyville Town Center plan, though others deem that more of a failure of private developers to get the ball rolling.) Then there was the financial crisis of 2011, when amid slashing budget cuts then-Sheriff Mike Downey threatened that he would have to close the McKinleyville substation. Downey ultimately relented, though the budget essentially left just two deputies to respond to calls in the entire Fifth District. It was amid this backdrop of frustration — potentially exacerbated by McKinleyville’s seeing an 11.6 percent population spike that nearly doubled the countywide growth rate from 2000 to 2010 — that spurred then-Fifth District Supervisor Sundberg in 2012 to come up with compromise of sorts. Sundberg pushed forward the idea of a planning committee made up of seven appointed McKinleyville residents, property owners or business owners who could gather input from their neighbors and advise the county on McKinleyville’s concerns. Given the catchy nickname The McMAC, the McKinleyville Municipal Advisory Committee was designed to give the town a larger seat at the county’s table, if strictly in an advisory capacity. The McMAC is responsible for reviewing and commenting on proposed zoning amendments, land use amendments and long-term planning issues that affect McKinleyville. It can also comment on public works, health, safety, welfare and public financing, though it is limited to big-picture decisions and is barred from weighing in on property-specific matters, like conditional use permits. Members are appointed by the county Board of Supervisors, with the majority being appointed by the sitting Fifth District supervisor. The committee is tasked with working closely with the county’s planning and public works departments, as well as the clerk of the board of supervisors. Meetings are agendized, open to the public and the committee has to follow all state government transparency laws. Formed in 2012, the McMAC has since maintained a low profile. A sample of minutes downloaded from the county website shows the committee keeps busy,

interacting with a variety of other public agencies, including the sheriff’s office, the public works department, the Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District and the county planning department. Occasionally, it has rallied the public, such as in support of Measure Z. But its role remains advisory and it has no authority to enact the will of the people it represents. Its members also aren’t elected but appointed, meaning its makeup is subject to the whims of the sitting Fifth District supervisor and the balance of the board. One McKinleyville resident told the Journal the makeup of the committee has been heavily slanted toward business owners in the past — calling it a “chamber of commerce spin-off” or the “McK-Rotary” — but others said it has done a solid job of making the community’s interests known. Several lamented that as an advisory body, it just doesn’t have the clout to garner public involvement and keep residents informed and contributing. One resident said it’s “tough” to think that more than seven years after it was launched as a way to bring their voices to the county’s decision makers, most McKinleyville residents don’t know much about the McMAC or what it does.

Madrone, who took office in January, has wasted little time pushing for more information on what incorporation would mean for McKinleyville and the rest of the county. At the board’s Feb. 19 meeting, he asked his fellow supervisors to consider directing county department heads to track costs that originated in McKinleyville for a 12-month period, after which they’d report their findings back to the board. The idea, he explained, was to get a picture of how much money the county was spending to provide services to the town. At first, the board seemed dubious. Fourth District Supervisor Virginia Bass commented that “annexation” was “a really bad option for cities.” Second District Supervisor Estelle Fennell said she was concerned about the costs to the county’s department heads in taking on extra work that had not been included in the county’s annual budget. Some supervisors wanted to see some evidence of community buy-in for the idea of exploring incorporation. Madrone promised to go back to the MCSD board and the McMAC seeking resolutions officially asking the supervisors to pursue the information-gathering mission. County Administrative Officer Amy Nielsen suggested a compromise. Instead of asking department heads to begin tracking the information, the board could “direct the CAO to work with all county departments to determine what efforts

it would take to come up with cost estimates for McKinleyville.” Third District Supervisor Mike Wilson turned this into a motion, Bass seconded it and it passed unanimously. Madrone later consulted the Humboldt Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO), which is tasked with sorting out issues that involve more than one entity, kind of like a family law court for relationships between cities, counties and special districts. The LAFCO Board of Directors is composed of city and county officials, including Fennell, Wilson and Arcata City Councilmember Paul Pitino. George Williamson, who owns the consulting company Planwest Partners, serves as the commission’s senior advisor. LAFCO staff prepared a four-page handout that outlines the detailed procedures involved when a town looks to incorporate. First, the applicant must produce a preliminary study that deals with costs, revenues and how various services would be provided to the new community. This is generally performed by a professional consultant at a cost of about $50,000. Then either a local agency — like the community services district or the McMAC — passes a resolution asking for incorporation, or proponents circulate a petition among the citizenry, requiring 25 percent or more of the registered voters in the community to sign on. After one of those steps is completed, LAFCO would then do its own financial and legal review of the issues involved, confirm the proposed boundaries of the

new community and conduct an environmental review. All these costs would be passed on to the applicant. During this process, if 50 percent of McKinleyville voters were to protest for any reason, presumably via a petition, everything would come to a halt and the issue would be dropped. But if that doesn’t happen, and if LAFCO were to approve the proposed incorporation, one final election would be held. If the majority of registered voters in McKinleyville were to approve, the new city would be incorporated. Madrone reasoned that there is no point in spending the money on a feasibility study without first getting an estimate of what it costs the county to keep McKinleyville running. But first he needed to do his homework and show his fellow supervisors that McKinleyville residents think incorporation is an idea that warrants exploring.

On April 3, Madrone addressed the

MCSD Board of Directors — the only elected board representing all the town’s residents — and asked it to pass a resolution asking the supervisors to pass a resolution formally directing the sheriff’s office and county public works department to begin tracking expenses in McKinleyville. Data about revenues, Madrone pointed out, was already readily available through the tax collector’s office, but gathering information about expenses would take more effort. Continued on next page »

This was not an easy sell. Most of the directors admitted that getting information was a good thing but said they were not sure about the end result or motive. Director Dennis Mayo was skeptical about the whole process. “You can get information that doesn’t tell you anything,” he said. “Because one year, the county expenditures can be radically different in an area than another year in an area. ... I’ve never had anybody ask me, ‘Why don’t we incorporate?’ Not ever. … We’re a very good, well-run district. I don’t see any city run better.” He later added, “I don’t want to be paying parking tickets down at the shopping center to pay for the meter maid.” Director Mary Burke, on the other hand, thought getting more financial information would be helpful. “I’m looking for information that would help us be able to make decisions,” she said. “I cannot say whether our community would move forward with wanting to vote on incorporation. “ Director David Couch said the district has lots of options and could opt to provide many of the services the county currently provides, even without incorporating. “As a special district, we could have our own police department,” he said. “We could have our own planning department as a special district. But we’d have to pay for it. But I’m not going to advocate for it because we don’t have the revenue stream. ... I’d be happy to get more information.” Eventually, the board narrowly passed a resolution, supported by Burke, Corbett, and Couch, asking the board of supervi-

sors to direct county staff to track county expenses within the MCSD’s boundaries. Mayo and Director Shel Barsanti opposed the move. On May 22, Madrone went to the McMAC to ask for its support getting the county to cooperate with his fact-finding efforts. Madrone said communities like direct control over their planning, noting that McKinleyville created its own community plan in 2003 but, when the county changed the General Plan, it changed the provisions of the community plan without notifying the residents. “The goal of this is to gather current financial information on revenues and expenses within the MCSD boundary area,” Madrone said. “The last time this information was collected was 20 years ago and they were not able to get detailed expense information because it’s never been tracked that way. … Once we have that information, my goal is to hold a community forum where we can discuss that information. “This is the most logical way to start,” Madrone continued. “Rather than spending $50-grand on a consultant, I’m being a fiscal conservative, saying can we get this information in a simpler way without costing the community anything by working with department heads to do something that doesn’t take a lot of time and effort.” While the committee’s members generally agreed that collecting information would be a good thing, the McMAC’s conversation indicated some skepticism. “Arcata and McKinleyville have approximately the same population,” said MCSD

General Manager and McMAC member Greg Orsini. “But the MCSD’s budget is about $8 million and Arcata’s is $40 million. We would need some kind of city sales tax. Nearly every other city has one.” Madrone countered that people don’t mind paying a tax if they see a direct benefit. “Look at Measure Z and Measure O,” he said, referring to recently passed sales tax initiatives. Several committee members wondered how useful collecting information over a one-year period might be, considering conditions constantly change. McMAC member Kevin Jenkins noted that the McKinleyville Chamber of Commerce had previously tried to investigate incorporation but was stymied by the lack of financial information. After about a half-hour of discussion, committee member Burke, who also serves on the MCSD board, moved that the McMAC support Madrone’s requests. The motion passed unanimously. With two resolutions of support under his belt, Madrone can now return to the board of supervisors and once again ask for it to direct county staff to begin tracking McKinleyville’s financial information. While most in McKinleyville won’t say exactly where they stand on the incorporation question — or at least not publicly — most agree, if somewhat reluctantly, that it can’t hurt to look at the numbers. “I’m in support of finding out the estimated profit and loss numbers for McKinleyville, and then assessing the situation from there,” said Katie Cutshall of Azalea Realty. “The numbers will tell us if it makes sense to incorporate or not.” l

Table Talk Doughnuts bobbing in the hot oil. Photo by Carla Baku

On Ma, Her Doughnuts and the Afterlife By Carla Baku

tabletalk@northcoastjournal.com

hat happens when we die is a matter of great debate. One thing is certain, though: As long as one person remembers us, we remain connected to the living world. That’s where doughnuts come in. A stretch, perhaps, to link sacred notions to such a humble and quotidian food. But when the kitchen is filled with the warm and somehow golden fragrance of dough bubbling in a kettle of hot fat, the veil between here and there, between then and now, becomes very thin, indeed. When I was a child, my great-grandmother kept a big, copper-colored tin filled with homemade treats. It was never, ever empty. Mildred’s cookie repertoire was glorious: iced molasses, cocoa-walnut drops, orange-almond slices and chocolate chip. But it was her doughnuts that elevated a simple treat into a full-sensory experience. The aroma came first. Before you’d even reached the front door, the smell wafted over you. Once inside, there you’d see her: Ma (as we called her) standing over her little stovetop cauldron, watching those bobbing rings with unwavering exactitude. Each doughnut was cooked to absolute brown perfection and transferred to a baking dish lined with paper towels. We wanted to eat them immediately. Yes, there were gentle admonitions about how hot they were. But in her perfectly non-prescriptive way, Ma let us learn for ourselves the lesson of how hot is too hot. We burned our fingertips. We burned our tongues. Worth it.

When I make Ma’s doughnuts, she’s in the room with me. True, I’m using her recipe, transcribed in her own impeccable handwriting. I’m using her 100-year-old cast-iron kettle, her favorite cutter and her one-handled rolling pin. When the doughnuts are cool, they’re going into that same old copper-colored tin. Heck, the house where she worked her culinary magic is my house now. Not many people left on the planet remember Ma. A few local oldsters like me — folks with names like Barnum and Bistrin — may remember the sweet old woman who sometimes babysat them back in the day. Every year, though, Mildred’s tether to this physical world becomes a bit more tenuous. That’s OK. It’s the way life works. An abundance of studies have demonstrated the powerful link between our sense of smell and our memories. In essence, smell bypasses the thinky processing circuits and blasts straight into our emotion-and-memory brain bits. Ma’s doughnuts, humble and unadorned, are delicious. But it’s the smell, you see, that brings her back. The smell of these doughnuts cooking is something you ought to build some memories on. For me, this is what heaven smells like.

Mildred Lowe’s Doughnuts Make the sour milk by combining scant 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar. Let it sit a couple of minutes until curdled. The doughnut holes are great for testing the readiness of your fryer. You can purposely save a bunch of

them to fry up as bite-size morsels (quality control is SO important!) Otherwise, you can gently reincorporate them back into your dough scraps for a second roll-out. And safety first! Never attempt to put out a grease fire with water — it will spread the flames. Keep flour or baking soda on hand to smother flames in an emergency. And, of course, children should not be anywhere near the stove when deep-fat-frying. Makes approximately 24 doughnuts and doughnut holes. Ingredients: 3 ½ to 4 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon nutmeg 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup granulated sugar 2 eggs ½ cup sour cream ½ cup sour milk Fat for frying (lard, shortening or vegetable oil work) Lightly beat the eggs together. Add the sugar and stir until the eggs are light-colored and well-mixed. Beat in the sour cream and sour milk thoroughly. In a separate bowl, sift together three cups of the flour with the rest of the dry ingredients. Mix the dry ingredients into the egg and sugar mixture until just blended. Gradually add flour to create a soft, sticky dough. Don’t overmix or the doughnuts will be tough. Cover bowl and chill dough for at least 2 hours. Place fat in kettle and slowly bring up

to frying temperature, about 375 F. When dough is thoroughly chilled, lightly flour your work surface. Work with half the dough at a time, keeping the second half in the fridge so that it doesn’t soften too much while you’re making the first batch. A floured cloth and stockinet cover can be helpful for rolling out the dough. Roll to a scant ½-inch thickness (3/8 inch is better if you can be exact). The dough will be a bit sticky; use a little extra flour to help ease the stickiness as you roll and cut out the rings, dipping the cutter in flour between cuts. When your fryer is ready, brush off any excess flour to avoid a buildup of scorched flour in your kettle and carefully add a couple of doughnuts into the kettle. To keep the fat at a consistent frying temperature, don’t cook more than 2 or 3 doughnuts at a time. Occasionally monitor the temperature with a cooking thermometer as you go. Go easy and be careful not to splash the hot oil. If you first dip a metal spatula in the fat, you can then place a raw doughnut on it and slide it into the hot fat without misshaping the dough or splashing. The dough will sink for a few seconds, then bob to the surface while cooking. When they’re golden brown — only 1 or 2 minutes — flip and cook another minute. Remove doughnuts to cool on paper towels. Eat at least one doughnut when it has cooled enough to handle. A complementary beverage of choice — coffee, tea, milk — will round out the experience. Store cooled doughnuts in a sealed container. Reheating in a 300 F oven for about 10 minutes will give you the warm doughnut experience all over again. l

Creating Community with Gardens

Planting, watering and harvesting with neighbors By Katie Rose McGourty

downanddirty@northcoastjournal.com

s we slip into summer, here on the home farm we are enjoying the sunshine. The combination of late spring rains followed by a heat wave gave our plants the message to grow like crazy. It’s good timing because we’ve increased our ranks. Our labor force has suddenly tripled and we’re ecstatic. More hands and eyes taking care of our land can only increase yields. Opening up our garden for others to use and enjoy brings us happiness, too. The more the merrier. For those of you looking to find a community garden of your own, check out any of the groups below. Or find a friendly gardening neighbor or two and ask if they might be willing to trade some fresh garden produce or cut flowers for an extra set of hands. Before the days of electricity and internet, the majority of people grew their own greens, grains, milk, cheese, butter and meat. As modern Americans, there’s nothing more important for our mental and physical health than home food production. Banding together as a group to collaborate offers ample opportunity to blast food production so be prepared to make time to handle harvest, whether eating produce fresh or saving it for later. We’re ready to reap the benefits of teamwork. Growing up on a walnut and citrus orchard in the remote region of Adelaide, just west of Paso Robles, California, helping out neighbors was necessary for survival. Every month I’d attend Farm Bureau meetings with my parents. As I sat and

colored quietly as a well-behaved 5 year old (tired from running around all day on the ranch), I soaked in the culture. We heard about rainfall, irrigation, running cattle and the expected market price of alfalfa. Our neighbors either grew walnuts, alfalfa or both. Everyone ran their ranches pretty much independently but some jobs required a second set of hands, and then they’d call a neighbor for assistance. In return, if a neighbor called for help, you’d be there to help within a day. The wine industry greatly changed the culture of Adelaide. As people planted vineyards, land became more valuable. Some families decided to cash out and move away, while others planted grapes and joined in the fun. Nowadays, a mosaic of land use has spread across the valley. Fourth- and fifth-generation farmers live next to wealthy investors who moved up from Los Angeles. Still local families stay connected. A few years back when my younger sister decided to get married on the family ranch, we called up all the neighbors and asked for help with the ceremony. One lent a tractor, another sold us hay at a good price and others helped with parking cars and running shuttles. Even though they were busy, they put aside responsibilities to celebrate a wedding and come together as a community. Like any operation involving more than one person, the key to a successful community garden is a clear system: watering, weeding, planting, composting and harvesting. Gardening isn’t rocket sci-

ence but it does take constant attention. If everyone gives minutes, it adds up to hours. We all gravitate toward our favorites. Some of us like peas and cucumbers, others prefer corn and tomatoes, so divide work accordingly. More variety makes for more deliciousness. Plus, according to 1973 book The Secret Life of Plants by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird, plants thrive when given as much positive human attention as possible, especially in the form of music. Greenhouse plants grown in an environment with classical music playing every day grew faster and produced more than their counterparts without. So, play and sing and watch your garden thrive. Even if a person only offers ideas and plant material, it still benefits the garden. Another person may only have time for watering. A different individual might offer three hours of weeding once a week. Also contributing personal creative touches like a painted rocks or a ukulele song will bring a more personal touch. Together we can feed ourselves and our neighbors and friends. For those of you looking for a community agricultural experience, there are several groups offering ways to get out and garden. In Arcata, Mad River Hospital runs a 2-acre farm that produces 80 percent of produce used in the hospital kitchen. Feeding about 400 people a day, this is a significant operation. Anyone interested in volunteering can call Christie Duray at 822-3621, extension 4133. Volunteers learn organic gardening and take home free pro-

duce and lunch from the hospital kitchen. Gardener or not, any community member can visit the café between 7:30 a.m. and 5 p.m., where $5 will buy lunch with organic produce fresh from the garden. The Bayside Park Farm and Community Garden (930 Old Arcata Road) rents out 100-squarefoot plots for $80 per year. Individuals can apply online through the city of Arcata website at www.cityofarcata.org or call 822-7091. Just next door to the community garden is the Bayside Park Farm, where people can also volunteer in exchange for fresh organic produce. In Arcata and Eureka, Open Door Health Clinics have established community garden space. To volunteer, call Jen at 269-7073, extension 3369. If you would like an opportunity in another local city, call Matt Drummond with Redwood Coast Action Agency at 269-2001, extension 3071. Drummond has a database with contact information for every community garden in Humboldt County, and can connect gardeners to workshops and learning opportunities. Whether opening your own vegetable garden to a neighbor or digging into an existing community garden, let’s harness the power of small-scale farming. Food security remains an important part of high-quality living and there’s no better time to get started than this summer. Happy farming. l Katie Rose McGourty is the owner of Healthy Living Everyday at www. healthy-living-everyday.org.

Honoring Humboldt’s Knight of Musicality

Dell’Arte’s Turning Gray Skies Blue By Pat Bitton

frontrow@northcoastjournal.com

his year’s Mad River Festival kicked off on a rather different note than previous years. Instead of the usual biting satirical drama, Dell’Arte is celebrating someone who’s been a key part of more than 50 Dell’Arte productions in Blue Lake and around the world. Indeed, if you’ve listened to any music created, recorded or performed in Humboldt over the past 20 years, you’ve probably experienced the work of award-winning composer, producer, recording engineer and all-round soundscape generator Timmy Gray. Dell’Arte Producing Artistic Director Michael Fields and Gray first met when Dell’Arte performed the eco-thriller Intrigue at Ah-Pah at a California Conservation Corps camp in Crescent City, where Gray was working back in the 1990s. Over the years since, the two became close collaborators, working on everything from 1997’s Journey of the Ten Moons to Grand Guignol in Sweden to Mary Jane: The Musical, not to mention sharing a goodly number of cigars and glasses of Redbreast Irish whiskey. In between Dell’Arte shows, Timmy found the time to produce albums for local favorites, including Lyndsey Battle and Home Cooking, as well as play in local bands like Lance Romance, The Bayou Swamis, the Joyce Hough Band and Barking Dogma (named for his Loleta recording studio). A couple of years ago, Timmy was diagnosed with corticobasal degeneration, a

rare degenerative brain disorder for which there is no cure. So the decision — some might say long-overdue — was made to stage a multi-night celebration of everything Gray has brought to Humboldt over the years, and to Dell’Arte in particular. The result, Turning Gray Skies Blue, is about as perfect a soundscape of Humboldt County as one could imagine: 16 songs from 10 of Dell’Arte’s signature productions, performed by some of the company’s greatest players and supported by the amazingly versatile house band of Marla Joy, Jeff Kelley, Mike LaBolle and Tim Randles. The evening’s songs showcase Gray’s versatility, from opera to country and rap to rock. They’re drawn from Mad Love, Crawdaddy, Blue Lake: The Opera, La Bottega da Caffe, In the Land of the Grasshopper Song, Wildcard, The Rag and Bone Shop, Mary Jane: The Musical, Comedy of Errors, and Paradise Lost: The Clone of God, Fragment #1. All were scored by Gray, with lyrics by Gray and Lauren Wilson. Performers include: Stephen Buescher, Barb Culbertson, Jackie Dandeneau, Michael Fields, Lynnie Horrigan, Pratik Motwani, Laura Muñoz, James Peck, David Powell, Joan Schirle, Emilia Sumelius and Sayda Trujillo. The guest artist on June 28 is Lyndsey Battle and on June 29 Joyce Hough and Fred Neighbor. The show is directed by Fields, with scenic and costume design by Lynnie Horrigan, lighting design by Michael Foster,

sound mixing by Russ Cole, technical direction by James Hildebrandt, and production/stage management by Kaitlyn Samuel Rosin and Roman Sanchez. It’s an emotional rollercoaster of an evening, with moving tributes Lynnie Horrigan and Pratik Motwani sing Tim Gray’s “She Never Has from performers and Time For Me” from The Comedy of Errors (2013).

THURSDAY, FRIDAY & SATURDAY NIGHTS in the basement of the jacoby storehouse

780 7th st. ARCATA

n spite of the notorious Humboldt summer entertainment slump, this week actually has some pretty nice offerings. There are many shows happening that are unusual enough to merit attention: Soundscapes and dance parties await your participation like mysterious invitations slipped under the door. There’s all kinds of good energy in the air. And if nothing in my list of suggestions connects with you, you can still get your wings at the Fairy Festival on the Arcata Plaza at noon on Sunday. Or take a nice long walk somewhere pretty. Last I checked, that’s still quite legal. Enjoy.

Thursday

The Tara Velarde Trio is fronted by the titular singer/songwriter whose soulful, big vocals are a centerpiece for the folky blues and rock band. The trio is appearing tonight at Phatsy Kline’s at 8:30 p.m. ($5-$10 suggested donation). Finishing the night out is a solo set by the talented Mr. Chris Parreira from local modern folk trio No Pardon.

Friday I’m a big fan of Argentinian tango music, particularly the music of the late composer Astor Piazzolla. I also love libraries, much like another Argentinian and personal hero of mine, the author Jorge Luis Borges. And although our local libraries don’t much resemble the infinite labyrinthine majesty of Borges’ Library of Babel, they are still pretty swell and deserve our support. So when I heard that there is an opportunity tonight to lend some aid to the Friends of the Arcata Library while listening to tango-influenced music, I could not wait to share it with you, Dear Reader. Folias Duo is a husband and wife act from Michigan comprised of Carmen Maret on the flute and guitarist Andrew Bergeron. Tonight at 7 p.m. they perform a collection of original compositions influenced by the folk music of Argentina and the songbook of Mr. Piazzolla in the main room of the Arcata Library. There will be a book sale and a selection of refreshments in the library’s conference

26 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, June 27, 2019 • northcoastjournal.com

room prior to the performance at 6 p.m. A suggested donation of $10 seems quite reasonable, especially considering I scored a bunch of great books at the last library sale there for far less than that.

Saturday It’s time for another iteration Tara Velarde Trio plays Phatsy Kline’s Lounge at 8:30 of Soul Party, the beloved all-vinyl p.m. on Thursday, June 27. dance party at Humbrews toPhoto by Stacie Struble, courtesy of the artist night at 9 p.m. ($5). Join DJs Red, jaymorg, and Funky T-Rex for an is a chance for the public to appreciate evening of classic soul music firing out of works in progress by students, faculty, and the PA in analog glory. Tonight’s theme is alumni of the school. Tonight’s offerings Pacific Vibes Beach Party, so attendees are are Life Under the Stars, an interactive encouraged to wear whatever you’d don masked and musical storytelling affair whilst beachside. If I end up going, I will performed by James Peck and Sarah Peters likely express my personal disinclination and the dance work Imprints, which toward dancing by wearing the Pacific focuses on the horror of violence against Ocean beach garb of a rain-slickered women and is performed by Tiffany Van Aleutian Islands fisherman, so if you Camp, Cleo Deorio and Olivia Schlanger. happen to see a bearded chap covered in The show starts at 8 p.m. and the tickets neoprene and rubber, soaked in seawater, will run you between $5-$15. please say “hi.”

Sunday

Wednesday

Portland, Oregon-based sound artist and percussionist Colin Blanton works out his unique electronic compositions through his solo project Brin. He’ll be hitting the stage tonight at 7 p.m. at the Outer Space for an evening of manipulated samples and rhythmic noise. Also on the bill is Wizard Apprentice, a multimedia artist from Oakland with a lovely voice who produces beautiful digital music and accompanying visions (price TBA).

Experimental harpist Sage Fisher is the mind behind Dolphin Midwives, an electronic chromatic fantasy that drops plucked notes into loops and echoes where they splinter and purr among the waves of infinity. It’s a very nice thing to hear. These cetacean doulas will be at the Miniplex tonight at 9 p.m., where there will also be room on the bill for Kranky Records artist Saloli and Max Brotman’s Complex Crown. There will be no door price for tonight’s show but a hat will be passed for the touring acts. l

Monday Although I am no longer a bartender, I will always appreciate a good service industry night. So tonight I’m repping the S.I.N. show going down at the Vista Del Mar at 9 p.m., featuring none other than Humboldt’s premier hard-working covers band The Undercovers. I don’t know this for certain but, working from personal history, I don’t believe that there’s a cover charge for the Vista tonight.

LECTURE

Cape Fear

They Had it Coming

Where the Magic Happens

Revenge. How do you like to serve it? Some of us like to explode in the moment and enact it in a rage of passion, and some of us keep our cool and quietly plot. Some like it hot, as it were, and some churn it over in their moral conscience over time, calculating, deliberating, perfecting. For those of you who like your revenge served on the rocks, the Film Noir Revenge Movie Series, Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m. July 2-23 at the Humboldt County Library is right up your darkened alley. Things are uncomfortable enough in the sweltering North Carolina heat before Max Cady (Robert Mitchum) shows up in Cape Fear (1962), playing July 2, but they get downright blistering as the ex-con stalks and terrifies the lawyer who put him away and his family (Gregory Peck, Polly Bergen). Journal arts and features editor Jennifer Fumiko Cahill hosts. An exposé of cowardice and courage unfolds in Act of Violence (1949), showing July 9. When the past catches up with war veteran/hero (Van Heflin), it comes in the form of a POW (Robert Ryan), obsessed, tortured, trench coat flapping, arm outstretched, led by his gun. Hosted by NCJ Field Notes columnist Barry Evans. Dave Bannion (Glenn Ford) is a good guy cop turned vigilante in the face of so much corruption (and the shocking death of his wife) in The Big Heat, Fritz Lang’s noir masterpiece, playing July 16. When Bannion relinquishes his badge but not his gun, we know what’s coming. Gloria Grahame stars as the hooker with a heart of gold who helps him out. Hosted by Charity Grella. “I don’t want sympathy — I want your neck.” Dick Powell, trading charm for grim resolve as WWII Canadian flyer Laurence Gerard, brings things to a hard boil, stopping at nothing to pursue the Nazi collaborator who killed his wife in Cornered on July 23. Hosted by Bob Doran. All films are free but donations (cash, please — they have books!) to the library are appreciated. A little payback, after all. — Kali Cozyris

Celebrate summer with new and old friends, mythical creatures, fairies, elves, pixies, spirits, mermaids, wizards, gnomes, goblins, tricksters and pranksters at the second annual Fairy Festival, happening Sunday, June 30 from noon to 10 p.m. on the Arcata Plaza (free admission). Put on by Shoshanna and the Bureau of Fantastical Spectacles with help from the city of Arcata and Arcata Main Street, the festival is the place where the fae are bae, Dragons rule and magick is afoot. Come to the plaza and stay for a spell. The day is filled with all sorts of wonder and enchantment: vendors with bewitching wares, two stages of live entertainment for the young and young at heart, food and drink offerings, face painting, henna tattoos, cocktails, beer, mocktails and juice for the kids. Plus angel card readings, Emerald Empire Live Action Role Players Boffering Arena (interactive “sword” play), booksellers and nonprofit tables. One of two stages, the Enchantment Stage, features Celtic music by Good Company, the Maypole Band from Humboldt Folk Dancers (for the May Pole dance), Middle Eastern music from Hayal, dance performances by Shoshanna and the Ya Habibi Dance Company, Cullan’s Hounds, a traditional Irish folk band from San Francisco, a dance set by Desert Lillies, a costume contest and spiritual, digitally enhanced DJ music in the evening by Akara. Over on the Storytelling Stage, find Isaac Bluefoot, enjoy Tea Fairy Storytime, stories and music with Seabury Gould, Trish the Dish, a fairy talent showcase and Eccentri-Circus, directed by Shea Freelove.

Good Goth

Los Espookys and All is True By Jennifer Savage

filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

LOS ESPOOKYS. Even as blockbuster movies continue spiraling into a pit of staleness — eight of the 10 highest-grossing films last week were remakes or sequels — streaming channels climb on to more creative heights. Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO Now, YouTube, et al., offer such bounty that a person would almost trade the summer sunshine for the winter darkness that’s more conducive to show bingeing. Fortunately, you don’t need much time to delight in HBO’s ridiculous new comedy Los Espookys. The show, with two episodes out as of this week and new ones to come on Sundays, chronicles the challenges faced by horror enthusiast Renaldo and his friends as they build a business based on creating scary scenes. We’re clued in immediately that what’s to come will be the absurd played straight as Uncle Tico (Fred Armisen) arrives at his niece’s goththemed quinceañera. He marvels at the décor and, when she tells him that her brother and his friends created the magic, encourages Renaldo to put his talents to professional use, explaining that just as Tico knew parking cars was his destiny, horror is Renaldo’s. Tico’s sincerity and passion for parking continue to weave throughout the episodes, a plus for fans of Armisen’s warmth-infused deadpan delivery, but Renaldo and his friends are the real stars. Making up the rest of the crew are Andrés, the blue-haired brooding heir to a chocolate fortune; Ursula, a dental assistant and technical genius; and Ursula’s sister Tati, an oddball even by Los Espookys standards, who bounces from one odd (naturally) job to another while playing whatever role the team assigns her. In the first episode, that includes the part of a possessed orphan in Los Espookys’ first assignment. The local priest, you see, is upset the new, hot young priest with the inexplicably glossy lips is getting all the attention and decides performing an exorcism will put the focus back on him. That’s where Los Espookys comes in. Like I said, ridiculous and delightful. In Spanish with English subtitles. 30M. HBO.

Stubbornly refusing to use GPS for directions to the Renaissance festival. All is True

ALL IS TRUE. The list of movies I’m interested in seeing generally excludes sequels, remakes, movies adapted from books, movies in which the main guy — it’s always a guy — is going to pull one last heist before going straight, movies featuring torture, dead children or Nazis, movies with all-male ensemble casts, movies made by men who have a history of raping, assaulting and/or harassing women or other men (see: trash-ass Luc Besson), and movies that hang their existence on some misguided sense of shock value as actual value, especially when “shocking” has been done to death. However, after seeing the preview for Toy Story 4 while waiting for one of the few now-playing movies not in any of the above categories, I would make an exception. It looks great and as if the magic of the first three — a rare trilogy that exists without a misstep — carries right on through to this latest chapter. Another movie that promises to be excellent if the trailer is on mark at all is The Last Black Man in San Francisco. I definitely recommend checking that one out when it finally opens here in July after an unfortunate delay. Also worth watching: the trailer for The Dead Don’t Die. Adam Driver? Delicious. You don’t really need to watch the actual movie — just enjoy the tasty bites of the trailer and move on to one of Jim Jarmusch’s better works such as Paterson (more Driver!), Ghost Dog or Night On Earth, then indulge your Bill Murray crush with The Bill Murray Stories: Life Lessons From A Mythical Man.

Biggest Little Farm and Honeyland should pique your interest if you’re into beautifully shot stories about people near and far living in ways you likely never will — you’ll want a big screen to do them justice. The final trailer before the main feature announced enemy-of-Netflix Pedro Almodóvar’s new film Pain and Glory, starring my boyfriend Antonio Banderas and the equally beautiful Penelope Cruz, which I will surely see because, well, my boyfriend. Why so much trailer love? Because I’m sure that any of the movies previewed ahead of All Is True, the Kenneth Branagh vehicle that I actually showed up for, would be a better way for you to spend your time. As expected from Branagh, All Is True boasts much Serious Acting and Theatre. Characters emerge from darkness into light as if coming in from the wings. Branagh, as Shakespeare, unfurls soliloquys at every chance — clearly no one has told him no for a long time. He and Ian McKellen (as the Earl of Southampton in a wig reminiscent of Owen Wilson as Hansel in Zoolander) recite Sonnet 29 to each other in what comes off as a Elizabethan era version of Who Wore It Better? (SPOILER: McKellen.) We get Metaphor in the shape of a garden the Bard tends in memory of his dead son. And there’s much ado about how women exist only as the property of men and vessels for sons, but the movie weirdly only reinforces this idea, giving superficial generosity to women worthy of more complex roles. A far lovelier and more profound mediation on a father’s grief for his lost son exists in George Saunders’ novel Lincoln in the Bardo. Also, when the only black character in your film plays the role of monster?

Deadly Darlingtonias

About two hours north of Eureka on State Route 199, a few miles past Gasquet, a small sign announces, “Botanical Trail.” It’s a very short drive on a good gravel road to the parking area. A little walk on the well-marked trail puts you in the middle of a Darlingtonia Bog. Here, where soggy conditions and serpentine soil discourage most plants, is the ideal habitat for California’s signature carnivorous plant, the cobra plant (Darlingtonia californica), aka California pitcher plant, aka cobra lily, though it’s not truly a member of Liliaceae. Carnivorous plants mostly live in such soggy places, supplementing depleted soils with nitrogen by trapping and digesting insects. This uncommon species is noted amongst CP aficionados as difficult to grow, requiring cool roots and plenty of sunshine. They are intolerant of any lapse. Tubular, papery leaves grow up to 2 feet tall and are crowned by a hood freckled with translucent windows. Two reddish flags grow from the underside of the hood, attracting victims through a hole from which they are unlikely to ever escape. As of Thursday, June 13, among the brown remains of previous years traps some of this year’s light green crop are almost fully developed. As they have for millions of years, every spring they rise from shallow rhizomes to feed on those insects unfortunate enough to be attracted to their charms. For anyone with a taste for the outré, it is worth checking out.

Dining out in June The fifth of June invited me to take my favorite stroll along the Van Duzen River. Things are at last heating up in the insect world. While I was checking out some daisies, a shadow flitted past me. It was a member of the well-known migratory dragonfly species, the common green darner (Anax junius). This is the first one of these I’ve seen this year. It is one of the largest dragonflies that frequents our area and wear on its wings hints it has traveled far.

STARTLING ACROSS

I reported the sighting to the Migratory Dragonfly Partnership, a citizen science project coordinated by the Xerces Society. The partnership collects sighting data on this and four other species of known migrators to better understand this behavior. Another migratory insect didn’t fare so well. What at first looked like a dried leaf fluttering in the wind turned out to be a painted lady butterfly captured by a crab spider. It brought to mind the fact that the redwood forests are fertilized by the annual migration and/or spawning, and death of salmon in our rivers. I wonder how much nutrition the annual migration of insects provides to our local ecology. A bit farther on, white clover provided pollen and nectar to some small blueblack bees. Despite there being several other varieties of plants flowering in the area, they seemed to patronize the clover exclusively. While many bees are happy to feed on a variety of flowers, some are highly specialized. Although this gives them an advantage in some ways, it also makes them dependent on a particular plant for survival. Tiger beetles on the river bar don’t have that problem. Displaying adaptability I had not seen before, two of them were dining on a dead bumblebee. Like many mammal predators, it seems they are not above a little scavenging when the opportunity presents itself. ● Read more of Anthony Westkamper’s HumBug on Sundays at www. northcoasthournal.com.

The object of the action is to seek an order relinquishing the child to the Petitioners for adoption and to terminate the parent−child rela− tionship.

YOUR FAILURE TO APPEAR AT THIS HEARING MAY RESULT IN A DEFAULT ORDER PERMANENTLY TERMINATING ALL OF YOUR RIGHTS TO THE ABOVE−NAMED CHILD. NOTICE: State and federal law provide protections to defendants who are on active duty in the mili− tary service, and to their depen− dents. Dependents of a service member are the service member’s spouse, the service member’s minor child, or an individual for whom the service member provided more than one−half of the individual’s support for one hundred eighty days immediately preceding an application for relief. One protection provided is the protection against the entry of a default judgment in certain circum− stances. This notice only pertains to a defendant who is a dependent of a member of the national guard or a military reserve component under a call to active service for a period of more than thirty consec− utive days. Other defendants in military service also have protec− tions against default judgments not covered by this notice. If you are the dependent of a member of the national guard or a military reserve component under a call to active service for a period of more than thirty consecutive days, you should notify the petitioner or the peti− tioner’s attorney in writing of your status as such within twenty days of the receipt of this notice. If you fail to do so, then a court or an administrative tribunal may presume that you are not a depen− dent of an active duty member of the national guard or reserves, and proceed with the entry of an order of default and/or a default judg− ment without further proof of your status. Your response to the peti− tioner or petitioner’s attorneys about your status does not consti− tute an appearance for jurisdic− tional purposes in any pending liti− gation nor a waiver of your rights. You are further notified that any non−consenting parent or alleged father has a right to be represented by an attorney, and an attorney will be appointed for an indigent parent who requests an attorney.

You are further notified that your failure to file a claim of paternity under Chapter 26.26 RCW within thirty days of the first publication of this notice or to respond to the petition within thirty days of the first publication of this notice is grounds to terminate your parent− child relationship with respect to the child. You are further notified that if you are the alleged father of an Indian child, and you acknowledge pater− nity of the child, or if your pater− nity of the child is established prior to the termination of the parent− child relationship, your parental rights may not be terminated unless you: (i) give valid consent to termination, or (ii) your parent− child relationship is terminated involuntarily pursuant to 26.33 or 13.34 RCW.

Community Spotlight: Queen Bee Naturals

Queen Bee Naturals was started in 2014 when owner Violet Crane started making cold process soaps while living out near Ruth Lake. “Anytime I needed bath and body products, I would have to drive into town to get them. I got tired of doing that, so I started making soaps and it just grew from there.” The product line has since grown to around 100 products, ranging from bath bombs to massage oils to CBD products. “We ship nationwide via our website and are in many local stores.” Queen Bee Naturals uses local products whenever possible and Violet’s main focus will always remain keeping price points as low as possible. For more information on Queen Bee Naturals, including their full product line, check out their website queenbeenaturalsllc.com. You can also find them on Facebook and Instagram @queenbeenaturals.

OF JULY FESTIVAL GUIDE • 2019 • SPECIAL INSERT

The first 4th of July Street Fair would have started sometime in the 1970s. At one point, former Councilwoman Bonnie Gool, was involved in the event. Former Mayor Nancy Flemming reflects on why she originally became involved. It was 1982, and she was the president of the North of Fourth Association. The Festival had degraded and lacked organization. Vendors were setting up in the doorways of shops, interrupting business for any of the shop owners who wanted to be open on the holiday. Working with the city manager she was able to file the permit to take over the responsibility of managing the Festival Brooke Exley and Flemming, working together, transformed the festival into what we see today. Exley oversaw booths and began adding food vendors and crafts booths. She also booked all the bands. Flemming took on the job of permitting and the non-musical entertainment. There were Coast Guard demonstrations, parachute jumpers, a children’s teddy bear parade, kids’ activities, and more. Copies of the Constitution and American flags were handed out to all the children attending. For several years, Bon Boniere sponsored an ice cream carving contest, using their homemade ice cream. Sculptors like Hobart Brown demonstrated their artistic ability. Flemming was also a catalyst for why we have fireworks over Humboldt Bay. In 1984 the first fireworks were launched from the end of Woodley Island. She says it was such a popular place to view the

fireworks that the next year they began staging on a barge in the Bay. 34 years later they are still shot over the Bay from a barge. In 1987, Flemming and former Councilman Mike Jones, who was general manager of KEKA Radio in Downtown, partnered to fundraise and include patriotic music with the fireworks. Sound Advice provided giant speakers for music and Flemming and Jones broadcast from her dock on the Bay. She also hosted a BBQ and Madaket ride for the top fireworks donors. Fireworks continue today because Rob and former councilwoman Cherie Arkley generously underwrote them for several years, through 2006. In 2007, Jones, with his patriotic spirit, stepped up and was the City’s key fundraiser through 2018. This year he still grew his beard out and will don his red, white and blue tux, complete with hat and tails, and serves as Eureka Main Street’s official mascot at the Festival. Flemming was elected mayor in 1990. While she still stayed involved with Exley, her duties kept her too busy. Exley continued to manage the 4th of July Street Festival until 2001. She handed the reins to Eureka Main Street and the festival has been under their care ever since. It is now referred to as Eureka Main Street 4th of July Festival, however, most still call it Old Town 4th of July Festival. It will always be a labor of love, celebrating the birth of our Nation with a family friendly festival, culminating with the fireworks over the Humboldt Bay.



UNCLE SAM of Old Town

Once upon a time, a former radio station manager who used to raise money with his FM broadcast facility, Mike Jones, helped raise the entire amount to fund several years’ worth of fireworks over Humboldt Bay because the Chamber of Commerce and the City of Eureka couldn’t justify spending the money. Fast forward to 2007 and the same Mike Jones was on the City Council when Mr. Robin Arkley ended his support of the fireworks after five years. Headlines read, “Fireworks Fizzle,” much like back in the mid-80s when the Times-Standard reported the same consequences of not having a celebration for our nation’s birthday, aka, the Fourth of July. A business friend came to Jones and said he would pay for half of the funds necessary to keep the fireworks alive, if, Jones would go out and raise the other half. No problem. With another 15 or so of his good business friends the fireworks would happen on schedule ... only this year Jones felt inspired by the nature of his love for the festivities, in and around Old Town and the full Pryrospecacular Show, then he donned the replica outfit of Uncle Sam himself, thereby declaring himself the Uncle Sam of Old Town Festivities. But it wasn’t quite complete in his eyes, so he employed an employee, a Miss Tiffany of the Madaket, to be Miss Liberty and

together they would go thru Old Town on the Fourth and be the subjects of hundreds of visitors’ pictures and raise a few extra hundred dollars along the way. Young and old alike would stop the two and request a picture with them and then drop in those green backs. It was fun, and more fun when they came along folks from the community they knew. Friends and family alike made the hours they would stroll go by faster than one could imagine. This Fourth of July, a Thursday, Uncle Sam will be by himself. He left the heavy lifting this year to the City of Eureka to raise the money for the fireworks as the big half left years ago and the entire amount is needed to make it happen. Plus, he needed a break and a chance to look at better ways to raise the money than to hit the same old, same old, businesses who get hit for every big to small fundraisers. And, he needs another Miss Liberty to make the pictures that much better. And, it won’t be long before he will have to retire and appoint an Uncle Sam to replace him ... but he must fit a size 44 long, or end up buying the whole costume for $300. Uncle Sam will be in Old Town this year on the Fourth of July between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., hoping to see all his old friends and make a bunch more. God bless America!  SPECIAL INSERT • 2019 • 4TH OF JULY FESTIVAL GUIDE

LIVE MUSIC

4 of July Festival th

The 4th of July Festival features two stages with live music. The Eureka Main Street stage is located at the Gazebo (Second and F streets) and the Mantova’s Two Street Music Stage is located at Second and C streets. The Scotia Band will also perform at Clarke Plaza (Third and E streets). Local bands are showcased for the event and we encourage you to come enjoy the music!

JIM LAHMAN BAND The Jim Lahman band has been around for about 15 years in Humboldt County. He began playing the guitar and singing at BAND O LOKO

BAND O LOKO Band O Loko is a Eureka based band featuring original surf-rock-blues-reggae

with a variety of fun, upbeat covers. Currently the band has two album releases and a dozen singles on the mainstream music market, that talk about life’s ups and downs, while painting pictures through music. A fun experience for all ages and perfect if you are looking to be entertained. Please visit www.BandOLoko.net for free streaming, videos, and more.

the age of 9, with some tutoring from his uncle. Jim moved to Humboldt in 1995 and became involved in the local music scene and played in several bands until deciding to lead a band, using his own name. All of the good band names were taken anyway. Blues, rock, and funk are the main musical styles played by the band, which include original and cover songs. The band lineup will shift during the summer when people are on vacation. All of the players that Jim performs with are good friends he has known for many years. Jim also designs and builds guitar amplifiers and other equipment using vacuum tube technology. He built his first guitar amp for professional use in 1984. Both he and Ron Perry use Jim’s custom-built amps. Ron purchased the first custom amp that Jim built in Humboldt County back in 1998.

THE UNDERCOVERS

SCOTIA BAND

THE UNDERCOVERS Rooted on the beautiful redwood coast of Northern California, The Undercovers are a four piece group of multi-instrumentalists that formed together in 2014 with the like mind to start a different kind of cover band. “We saw the need for a cover band that could play more than just ‘Mustang Sally’ and ‘Brown Eyed Girl.’” They wanted to be a band that everyone, young and old, could enjoy. The Undercovers bring a youthful energy to the stage that keeps the party moving all night. That, coupled with an eclectic list of songs that span the generations, it really puts The Un-

dercovers in a class all their own. Playing everything from AC/DC to Bruno Mars, Led Zeppelin to Notorious B.I.G. This definitely isn’t your dad’s cover band. GHOST TRAIN Ghost Train is a band from the North Coast of California that plays an eclectic mix of rock, pop, R&B, funk, soul, blues, ska and jazz classics. They are guaranteed to get the dance floor moving. Ghost Train has played at major music festivals and many venues throughout the North Coast. Most recently, the band opened at Blue Lake Casino’s Sapphire Palace Lounge for the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies during their recent national tour. Members of Ghost

GHOST TRAIN

Train include Christina D’Alessandro on vocals, Sam Kaplan-Good on drums, Jimmy Foot on lead guitar, Zachary Zwerdling on rhythm guitar, Nate Zwerdling on bass, and Orlando Morales on percussion. JOHN DAVID YOUNG CONSPIRACY The John David Young Conspiracy has been playing locally since 2008. They play jazz-rock with a 70s influence, with occasional forays into country or blues. Most of our stuff is original but we do love our Beatles! LIZZY AND THE MOONBEAMS If you want to hear some groovin’ sounds. Lizzy and the Moonbeams is it. You’ll get the R&B, R&R top dance hits through the ages. As a switch, you can hear swinging jazz tunes that create atmosphere or get you up dancing. Then last, but not least, they can relax you with lifting ballads and blues. All and all, Lizzy and the Moonbeams furnishes without a doubt, the complete sounds for any party or event you might have. SCOTIA BAND The Scotia Band, Humboldt County’s community band, was born in 1935 when a group of Pacific Lumber Co. employees began getting together regularly to play music. For many years this all-volunteer group was sponsored by Pacific Lumber, their hallmark maroon and khaki uniforms with a redwood tree patch on the sleeve seen around the county enhancing community events with a broad repertoire of marches, show tunes, popular, folk and

classical music selections. They became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit group in 2006 and nowadays anyone of any age who plays a wind or percussion instrument is invited to join. The current conductor is Dr. Kenneth Ayoob, professor emeritus from HSU, who describes the band’s summer 2019 repertoire as “all-American summer.” Band members are aged from junior high

to octogenarian, a rather wide-ranging group of different backgrounds, social, ethnic, political, etc. that come together in harmony, all enjoying performing live band music.

Timber Heritage Association Speeder Car Rides Take a ride on Humboldt’s history with a scenic trip along the bay on Timber Heritage’s speeder crew car! The Arcata and Mad River Railroad crew/speeder car is a restored maintenance of way vehicle that traveled along the railways in Korbel. Originally used for getting the logging crews out into the woods, crew speeder cars were a quick and efficient way

to travel. Timber Heritage volunteers restored the A&MRR in 2009 and THA began offering rides in the summer of 2009. In winter of 2016-2017 the speeder was overhauled, and the rides are even smoother! Rides run about every half hour from 10 a.m.- 4 p.m. Rides begin at First and E streets, Eureka and travel North along First Street. Underwritten by Recology. If you would like more information about the Timber Heritage Association call (707) 443-2957 or visit www.timberheritage.org
