Community Spotlight:

Helping Humboldt

t’s been nearly a year since the Humboldt County Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS) launched Helping Humboldt, an occupational empowerment program that provides day-labor opportunities to individuals with significant barriers to work and in need of work readiness. The program also provides recipients of the county’s General Relief assistance program an opportunity to work off their repayable benefits. Each day, between six and

seven participants and a project leader meet up to help out with a project at a county facility or another location in the community. Program Coordinator Melissa Furbee said currently Helping Humboldt participants are spending a few hours a week bagging lunches for Food for People’s Children’s Summer Lunch program, which makes free lunches available to children at sites around the county. Melissa said participants also recently painted and did some

light landscaping at the Redwood Acres Fairgrounds to get it ready for summer events, helped set up and break down for the Redwood Coast Music Festival and cleared trails and set up campsites for Kinetic Grand Championship competitors. Nearly 300 participants have devoted more than 2,000 hours to the Helping Humboldt program since it started, and nearly 40 have found employment through the program.

Lorenzo said, “We are seeing significant engagement with the Helping Humboldt participants who are taking pride in helping the community and being seen doing so. It allows them to reframe any mistaken impressions others may have about their situations — they want to work, and they want to contribute.” For more information, contact Connie at 707-476-4705.

There are develop solar power and is hardly the solar about 63,000 homes in Humboldt County. naysayer King describes (“Why I Support If every home had a sunny rooftop and

if we installed 3 kW of solar panels on every one, we’d get about 230,000 MWh per year of solar electricity. Even in this mythical scenario, that’s less than half the output of Terra-Gen’s wind farm. Rooftop solar is wonderful — I’ve had panels on my roof for more than three decades — but it just can’t match the output of the wind turbines. King writes in a heartfelt way about the environmental impacts of the Terra-Gen project and he details many of those impacts. He’s right; there will be impacts. There are always impacts when we generate electricity and we live in an increasingly electricity intensive society. But we in Humboldt County have a responsibility to generate the power we use and not dump our impacts in someone else’s backyard. We’re fortunate to have a powerful local wind resource and a carefully planned wind farm to utilize it. And despite King’s admonitions, I applaud the Redwood Coast Energy Authority for purchasing local, renewable wind power for our use. But there’s a much larger issue here. Our planet is on fire. Climate change is occurring more rapidly than anyone expected; children alive today will experience a very different world than we’re used to. We must stop pumping carbon into the atmosphere and local, renewable energy generation is a small, but important step in the right direction. We’ve got to do our part to save our planet. Peter Lehman, Arcata Editor: When I cautioned Terra-Gen’s senior ecologist that Monument and Bear River ridges are sacred biodiversity hot spots, he replied: “They all say that,” referring to other communities slated for industrial wind projects in virgin territory. Of course, “they” are right. Fortunately, “re-powering” provides clean wind power sources. Sonoma Clean Power recently replaced 283 old wind turbines with 20 modern ones in its Alameda County facility supplying Sonoma and Mendocino with electricity. In Tehachapi, Vestas is installing 13 wind turbines that “will produce over three times the electricity than the almost 400 old turbines that they will replace.” Terra-Gen’s turbines in Tehachapi with “nameplate” output of 332 MW are more than 20 years old. The U.S. wind industry completed 15 repowering projects totaling 2,136 MW compared to 7,000 megawatts added by the U.S. wind industry in 2017, resulting in these accolades from wind energy experts: “It’s extending the life of these projects Continued on next page »

Also no mention of the fact that church land will need be confiscated, at least temporarily, for the storage of these items. It has come to my attention that the church had not been informed nor their input sought on their feelings about this proposal. Carol Michael, Fields Landing

‘No One Will Win’ Editor: What has happened to balance, critical thinking and working together? It seems to me people gravitate en masse to a viewpoint then stick with it beyond reason if it means suggesting some aspect different from theirs might have merit, too (Mailbox, July 4).

All corporations are bad, all protesters are criminals, lawyers are tricksters, no one would get paid to do something they believe in. All people are created equal ... in the eyes of God ... in the eyes of the Founding Fathers ... unless they’re different from us, from somewhere else, or my people are more equal than other people or ...

With any conTerry Torgerson troversial topic, you see sides digging for reasons not to work together, even if it means blindly stereotyping, random selfish tendencies (what’s in it for me?), and ignoring any points or overall issues that point to a positive note on the other side. In my humble opinion, these attitudes put us, our communities, our world, in a stagnant position where even important things cannot get done because we are, to use an old idiom, unable to see the forest for the trees. Currently, the issue for me is the very real and very current effect our numbers and our lifestyles are having on our habitat. It is not sustainable. It is changing fast. And we will fight tooth and nail while the clock runs out. And no one will win. Dottie Simmons, Dinsmore

Civics 101 Editor: Mr. Gianinni seems to be in need of a civics class (or at least a refresher course). In his letter regarding Congressman Huffman (Mailbox, July 4), he states, “If I had spent the last two years lobb(y)ing for my boss to be fired...” Unlike what he (and, from what I can tell, President Trump) believes, the president is not “the boss” of Congress or anyone in it. One of Congress’ jobs is, in fact, oversight of the Executive Branch, so clearly exercising that function is doing his job. As in fact, is passing bills — regardless of whether the president will sign or veto them. And I think I can let the congressman (if he chooses) answer as to what he’s

accomplished for this area. And a note to Mr. Brennan (Mailbox, July 4): You call the investigations a waste of time and money that go nowhere. So, what did you call the — how many was it — investigations of Benghazi? With far less evidence of any wrongdoing. David Schlosser, Eureka

‘Only a Mention’ Editor: I realize you only had 15 minutes to interview Tom Jackson Jr., but only a mention of “reductions” at KHSU” (“The Administrator,” July 4)? The community is in deep mourning — our top communication lines (not to mention entertainment) have been uprooted in the most egregious, peremptory and malicious fashion. This should be among top concerns of the new prez and it is hoped it will be brought to his attention in much stronger terms. The town-gown trust and relationship are clearly at stake.

Cloudy with a Chance of Rain in Ferndale

New 2019

State, Fair Association, county in standoff over sunshine laws By Thadeus Greenson

thad@northcoastjournal.com

ome nine months after the Humboldt County Fair Association and the county of Humboldt entered into an eight-year lease agreement for the association to operate the county-owned Humboldt County Fairgrounds in Ferndale, the lease still hasn’t been ratified by the state, the last step toward making it official. The county, HCFA and California Department of Food and Agriculture have all been rather tight-lipped about the situation, so it’s hard to be certain what’s causing the months-long impasse. But it is certainly clear that the state wants to see the HCFA bound by the provisions of California’s government transparency laws, the Ralph M. Brown Act and the California Public Records Act, which would require it to conduct its business in public and open up its records to public review, respectively. The HCFA, on the other hand, has argued that as a nonprofit entity it shouldn’t be bound to those laws, despite the fact that it maintains and operates 65 acres of county-owned land and is the recipient of public funds. The situation has grown so dire that North Coast state Sen. Mike McGuire has attempted to mediate the dispute. “We committed to join a conversation to connect fair representatives directly with the California Department of Food and Agriculture, the agency that oversees fairs in the state,” McGuire said in a statement sent to the Ferndale Enterprise. “The goal was to ensure both sides were able to have a conversation and for the department to share why they believe the fair must comply with the Brown Act. I support the department’s findings.” HCFA operated as an “affiliate of a government unit” for decades and, thus, was subject to state transparency laws. In 2013, a divided board voted not to renew then-General Manager Stuart Titus’ contract and the following year Titus and his wife, Ferndale Enterprise owner, editor and publisher Caroline Titus sued the association, alleging it fired Stuart Titus in retaliation for his unwillingness to keep Caroline from writing pieces in the paper that

made board members “look bad,” as well as his repeated reminders that the board should abide by open meeting laws. In court filings, the fair association countered that Stuart’s job performance and the way he interacted with board members were the catalysts for the decision to let him go. Ultimately, the association agreed to settle the lawsuit, paying the couple $150,000, but did not admit liability. But in 2014 the fair association did switch its operational status to that of a nonprofit and began arguing that it was no longer bound by state open meeting and records laws. The problem was that the association’s lease with the county stated that “all books, records and documents” pertaining to the management of the fairgrounds “shall be preserved by the association and be and remain public records.” Yet the association repeatedly refused requests from the Ferndale Enterprise to turn over what should have been public records under the lease agreement, including meeting minutes, financial records and an audit. These refusals spawned four lawsuits — one that resulted in a judge awarding the Enterprise’s attorney $44,000 and two others ending with $31,000 in combined settlement payments. The Ferndale Enterprise has repeatedly argued — both in editorials and in court filings — that there’s an obvious public interest in the association’s business, as it’s governing 65 acres of public land in the middle of Ferndale, spending public funds on projects to improve public property and making decisions that reverberate through the small town. When the lease came up for re-negotiation, some members of the public, the Enterprise and a Journal editorial (“County of Humboldt, Please End the Madness in Ferndale,” Aug. 1, 2018) urged the county to include specific language in the new lease making plain that the HCFA should be subject to state transparency laws. With little explanation — perhaps other than then-board Chair Ryan Sundberg making a vague reference to a small newspaper

“bullying” the association — the board voted 4-1, with Third District Supervisor Mike Wilson dissenting, in October to approve the new lease, which not only didn’t include any new language binding the HCFA to transparency laws but also stripped the public records clause that had been in the old lease. The CDFA, it turns out, was not pleased with this development and has so far refused to sign off on the lease. And in March, the department sent Board of Supervisors Chair Rex Bohn a letter warning that the HCFA’s continued refusal to operate under the Brown and Public Records acts will have consequences. The department noted that the county fairgrounds play an important role in the community as a place to “celebrate successes, be entertained and learn about California agriculture,” and that the state has played a notable role in maintaining them through annual “operational and training allocations and grant funds for qualified differed maintenance projects.” “Over the past five years, the department has provided the county, through the association, over $190,000 in yearly allocations plus nearly half a million dollars in deferred maintenance funding,” the letter states. “Before allocating state funds to any fair, the department must be confident that its use will be deliberated during open, public meetings and all records available to the public. Therefore, the association, pursuant to its agreement with the county to operate the fairgrounds, must comply with the Brown Act and the California Public Records Act if the county wishes its fairgrounds be considered for further allocations or deferred maintenance grant money.” Responding to an email from Caroline Titus inquiring if this letter was a cause for concern, Bohn responded simply: “Always concerned.” He offered no further explanation. Last month, the board of supervisors considered an agenda item allocating grants from the Headwaters Fund, which included one of more than $40,000 to the HCFA to make Americans with Disabilities Act improvements to the fairgrounds and improve the fairground’s internet connection, in part for the property’s role in emergency services plans. Fifth District Supervisor Steve Madrone asked whether the board should take some action to ensure the HCFA was going to follow the Brown Act before giving it public funds. County Chief Administrative Officer Amy Nielsen said staff would be bringing a report on the HCFA to the board next month, implying the issue would be better discussed then. Bohn also pointed out that because the county owns the

fairgrounds, it was its responsibility to make sure ADA improvements were made, which seemed to quash the discussion for the time being. County spokesperson Sean Quincey declined to comment on the substance of current negotiations between the state, the county and HCFA. “The discussions around the lease agreement are ongoing, and before talking about those negotiations in the press, the county is going to respect the process and allow stakeholders the opportunity to sit at the table together and figure this out,” he said in an email to the Journal. He later added that a clause in the former lease agreement keeps it in place until a future agreement is reached or it’s officially terminated by the county, meaning the current impasse will have no impact on the HCFA’s ability to put on the fair next month. HCFA General Manager Richard Conway similarly declined to comment as long as negotiations are ongoing. HCFA board member Andy Titus, who is not on the lease negotiation committee and therefore says he only knows what’s been reported back to the entire HCFA board, says he’s been told lease discussions have been put on hold until after the fair, which starts Aug. 15. Regarding open meeting laws, Andy Titus said he asked HCFA staff months ago to begin posting board agendas, minutes and financial balance sheets to the association’s website, which as of last October didn’t even include board meeting dates on its public calendar. “I asked for those things to be posted,” he said. “I was like, ‘If we don’t have anything to hide, why wouldn’t we do this? And if we do have something to hide, as a board member, I’d sure like to know what it is.’” While the posted agendas seem like a large step toward transparency, they also don’t seem like they would pass muster under the Brown Act. A brief Journal review of recent agendas indicates the board’s closed session agenda has been vague and remained identical for months — with approval of executive session minutes, matters that relate to potential litigation, “executive committee report” and “review correspondence,” which would be insufficient under the agenda requirements of the Brown Act. And as of last June, the board was clearly discussing things in closed session that the Brown Act would have demanded be discussed in public — like “building and grounds,” “2018 fundraiser” and “general manager goals.” While it remains to be seen if compliance with sunshine laws is in the HCFA’s future, it seems pretty clear the CDFA is

drawing a line in the sand that the HCFA’s digging in on its current stance would have consequences. Andy Titus said the potential loss of state funds is certainly cause for alarm for the association, which has depleted its financial reserves in recent years — ironically in part through legal battles with the Enterprise over its financial records — and is in further hot water with the CDFA over a delinquent $56,000 loan. “I definitely think that’s a concern,” he

said. “With our financial state, we just can’t afford to not be getting those funds. The grant funds are huge. They’re crucial.” Andy Titus, who is relatively new to the board, said he can’t concentrate on what happened before his arrival but said he’s intent moving forward on making the decisions necessary to make sure the fair, now in its 123rd year, is around for 123 more. “It’s about keeping these things alive for generations to come,” he said, adding that for the next five weeks he’ll be consumed

with just making sure everything is in line for opening day. “Right now, I’m just focusing on the task at hand, which is putting on the best fair possible for the county of Humboldt.” l Thadeus Greenson is the news editor at the Journal.

‘Greatest Crabs Game Ever’

uys, I’m buzzin’. July 6 was the greatest Crabs game I’ve ever attended. It’s two days later and I’m still riding the high. If you missed it, I would highly recommend fronting the production of, or creating your own, time machine and going back to Saturday afternoon. Same goes for those of you who left, as I almost did, when the Crabs were making dinky mistakes and getting pretty well wrecked. Thank goodness for my sheep-like mentality. Side note: Never leave a baseball game early. Just don’t do it. Short of being in danger of third degree sunburn or renal failure, it isn’t worth it. There are so many stupid titles I could slap on this: Crabs Make Their Own Fireworks, Henderson Rockets Crabs Past Capitalists, PUFCaps File Bankruptcy In Late-Game Collapse but salient point is that Damien Henderson is amazing and I probably wouldn’t mind if he married my sister (if I had one). The Crabs got on the board first, in the fourth inning, squeaking in a run through the stalwart Capitalist defense. The lead quickly switched to the bad guys’ side; the Caps scored four runs in the sixth inning. From there, it seemed like we were heading for a blowout — they scored two more runs in each of the seventh, eighth and ninth innings for a 10-6 lead with the Crabs up for their last at-bat. Pinch hitter Bryce “Captain” Kirk led off with a single and Jalen Smith quickly doubled to put runners in scoring

position. Koko Figueiredo laid down a gorgeous bunt to bring the Captain home and Dawson Bacho worked an incredibly clutch walk during which Smith scored on a wild pitch. Rally caps were donned, the Crabs were only down two and up came Hendo. There was an electricity in the air. Anxious, hopeful, knowing glances were exchanged throughout the crowd, the bleachers took a serious pounding but only for a moment. First pitch, the Caps pitcher laid one over the middle at Hendo’s chest and he tomahawked it into low-Earth orbit. Dead center, frozen rope, textbook dinger. Walk off. Game over. 11-10. “[Dawson] Bacho told me they threw him away the whole time, which says to me, ‘OK, this guy doesn’t have much control of his fastball,’ so I was waiting on that and whaddya know?” Henderson said. I felt like a kid. I was jumping up and down screaming at the top of my lungs. I almost threw up from stoke. To add even more shine to his limelight, this was Henderson’s ninth rake of the year, tying the single-season wood bat team record with 20 games to go. Hendo has serious lumber.

‘The Main Issue’

Cannabis church lawsuit could have far-reaching effects By Eugene Ed Denson

newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

read “A Sack of Sacrament” in the July 4 North Coast Journal with interest, as you might imagine since the Redwood Spiritual Healing Ministry’s lawsuit against Humboldt County raises issues that have long interested me in my legal dealings on behalf of cannabis growers. You brought up some interesting facts, but I think the column missed the main issue. At least the main issue for me. The lawsuit was filed June 27 on behalf of the ministry by attorney Matthew Pappas, who alleged that the county of Humboldt and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife violated the church’s rights when officers raided the church’s Southern Humboldt property and destroyed an untold number of cannabis plants in five greenhouses. Pappas sued on two fronts. First, the free exercise of religion clause from the First Amendment, and second, due process requirements of the 14th Amendment. I wish him well in his pursuit of religious freedom and his argument that the church should be exempt from cannabis regulation because it views the plant as a religious sacrament but, as you noted, the government finds itself in the paradox of defining religion in terms that still allow laws. It is the second claim, due process, which interests me the most. This claim is that when government agents came to the cultivation site, their authorization for this trespass was that they had obtained

a search warrant from the courts. That warrant authorized them to come on the private property and search for evidence of a crime. If they felt they had found such, they could seize it. But this did not give them authority to destroy private property, except as necessary for their search. And yet they allegedly vandalized the greenhouses in a way that was not required for their search, and they seized a minute amount of cannabis as evidence, destroying the rest of the church’s plants. The claim is that the destruction of the plants was unwarranted, and the vandalism of the greenhouses was excessive of their authority to damage property. You might analogize this to excessive force claims where humans are injured or killed, except here it is property. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife made some generic defenses when contacted by local reporter Kym Kemp, which you can read in her article about the case (www.kymkemp.com). The agency claimed that its law enforcement agents are authorized to seize and destroy illegal substances. They knew that the cannabis was illegal because the site was not licensed by the county and state, as all commercial cannabis operations must be. The alleged crime, then, would be cultivation of cannabis without a license. But the crux of Pappas’ case is that the cultivation was not commercial, it was for

religious purposes, not sale, and therefore did not require licenses. That the cultivation was commercial is a legal conclusion. Fish and Wildlife agents are neither trained nor authorized to make legal conclusions. For one thing, their doing so violates the separation of powers within the government. Only the courts can reach legal conclusions. Since the agents did not have a judicial determination that the cannabis was illegal, they did not have the legal authority to destroy it. Destroying it was a violation of the due process clause of the 14th Amendment. What then should they have done when faced with what they strongly suspected was an illegal cultivation? They had two options, neither of which allowed them to seize the cannabis. One was to pursue a criminal claim against the cultivators. Cannabis cultivation without a license is a crime under the Health and Safety Code. If they wished to pursue this, they should have seized the amount of cannabis plant material mandated by law: 2 pounds and five representative samples from the rest of the cultivation. They could have sought a court order to prevent the distribution of the rest until a judge made a ruling on the legality of the cultivation. The other option was to pursue the case through the civil nuisance abatement process. I believe the county had already started this process by issuing an abate-

l Eugene Ed Denson is a long time cannabis lawyer who has defended many cultivators his 20-year career. Since legalization, he has worked with people getting licenses and defended those who were not against abatement. He and local attorney Fred Fletcher are also suing the county over what they believe to be illegal cannabis taxes.

ment order. In response, Pappas says he notified the Humboldt County Planning Department of his religious cultivation exemption claim. If the county disputed his claim, the proper response is mandated in the county code: Take the issue to the courts. This would first be done through an administrative hearing before an administrative judge and then, if that judge’s determination were to be disputed, an appeal to the Humboldt County Superior Court. The county did not do this. I imagine that when discovery occurs in Pappas’ suit, it will turn out that the Humboldt County Planning Department instead entered colluded with the Department of Fish and Wildlife about the cultivation, starting the process that ended with the illegal destruction of the cannabis. Even if the Pappas suit fails on the exercise of religion claim, it may well succeed on the due process claim. If it does, it will have far-reaching effects on enforcement of cannabis law.

The Graduate

Meet David Nguyen, college graduate and poster child for CR’s college campus within the walls of Pelican Bay State Prison Story and photos By T.William Wallin newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

David Nguyen, one of the first two graduates from the Pelican Bay Scholars Program, told the audience at his commencement ceremony that he dared to dream and that he dared the other inmates to dream, too.

s the Northern California sunset sinks beyond razor wire fencing and panopticon-style guard towers, David Nguyen reflects on the past 14 years of his life and contemplates the choices that led him to prison. If it wasn’t for his attire and surroundings — and the subject of the day — you probably wouldn’t suspect he is incarcerated. Nguyen smiles from ear to ear when he speaks. Standing just above 5 feet tall, his hair is slicked back like a 1950s greaser and he appears meticulously groomed, his tattoos hidden by his long-sleeved shirt. Attentive and articulate, he takes long pauses between sentences, carefully contemplating the right words. He says he isn’t the same person sent to prison at the age of 24 for a home invasion robbery, a crime he now describes as “atrocious” and “horrible.” When Nguyen entered the prison system in 2005, he says he had no hope and tried to prove himself by picking fights on the prison yard. Now Nguyen proves himself in a classroom, having become one of the first two inmates at Pelican Bay State Prison to graduate with an associate degree for transfer through College of the Redwoods’

groundbreaking Pelican Bay Scholars Program. Just a few month’s shy of his 39th birthday, Nguyen is the first in his family to receive a college degree. He’s also become somewhat of an ambassador for the fledgling program, which people say is not only changing inmates’ lives, but the very culture of one of California’s most notorious prisons. “He’s all about spreading the love and encouraging others to pursue their dreams,” says Bernadette Johnson, a CR counselor and the program’s first teacher. “He’s going to do amazing things when he gets the chance. He definitely has that leadership quality, that gentle lead by example — and courageous at the same time. He’s a natural leader in that way and is going to go far in whatever he does.” And that’s the very goal of the program: to make good on the promise of rehabilitation that’s in the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation’s name by preparing inmates to succeed in life on the outside. “Sometimes, as a society, we forget about them getting out and we only see an incarcerated person,” says Pelican Bay Scholars Program coordinator Tory Eagles. “Most people incarcerated will be released

12 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, July 11, 2019 • northcoastjournal.com

someday. At (what) point do we give up? I think that’s a critical moment for us in society. I think everyone has the potential to grow beyond the mistakes they make. Programs such as college provide that opportunity.”

Until very recently, opportunity was not

a word people associated with Pelican Bay. According to Keramet Reiter, author of 23/7: Pelican Bay Prison and the Rise of Long Term Solitary Confinement, the prison, opened in 1989, was “designed to keep California’s alleged ‘worst of the worst’ prisoners in long-term solitary confinement, under conditions of extreme sensory deprivation.” It’s the only super-max prison in California and notorious for its Solitary Housing Unit, or SHU, which largely houses inmates in isolation and has been the focus of inmate hunger strikes and lawsuits. When it was first opened, 40 percent of the inmates housed there were doing life sentences. Currently, the CDCR website states that half of the current inmates are housed in maximum security general population and the other half are in the SHU. In a 2012 investigation for Mother Jones, journalist Shane Bauer found that “in the Pelican Bay SHU, 94 percent of prisoners

are celled alone; overcrowding has forced the prison to double up the rest.” Nguyen entered Pelican Bay around this time and says he felt there was little staff support for inmates, adding that he requested a transfer every year. Then in 2015, College of the Redwoods began implementing a pilot program to bring college courses inside the prison that would allow inmates to work toward a degree. The program was a direct result of California Senate Bill 1391, which the Legislature passed in 2014, recognizing education in the prison system is proven to reduce recidivism. The bill amended an existing law that required community colleges to keep their classrooms open to the general public, which prevented them from offering courses in closed settings like prison. Under the new program, eligible inmates were granted California College Promise Grants, which waived their tuition. The pilot was so successful in its first two years that it grew by 200 percent, tripling the number of students, and, in 2018, CR received a California Community College Chancellor’s Office Innovation Award of $1.2 million to fund and expand the program, allowing the college to hire two fully dedicated staff positions — as well as text-

books, calculators and school supplies. The CDCR also provides a full-time coordinator to support the program and additional correctional officer shifts to accommodate expanded course offerings. What sets the Pelican Bay Scholars Program aside from other college programs in California prisons is that every single professor is a paid instructor of CR and the coursework is designed to work toward an ADT degree. Other prisons in California, like San Quentin, have college professors teaching courses but they aren’t all dedicated employees and the coursework isn’t necessarily transferable. Nguyen was one of a handful of students to enroll in the first pilot class and remembers the surreal feeling of sitting down in a classroom. “At 5 o’clock, we never heard about being let out of our cell except for maybe dayroom or a phone call here and there,” he says. “Because this was a pilot program, this had never been done before here. It was a night program and they were really cautious about letting people out after a certain time.” Nguyen says prison administrators told him and the other students that they were setting the precedent for the future of the program and warned that if it “causes too many waves,” they would shut it down. Nguyen says he was on his best behavior. He remembers the increased security presence of the first class, but says inmates were generally unbothered by it, grateful to be out of their cells and getting a chance at a college education. The program’s popularity has spread. Eagles says there are currently 300 students enrolled in 28 class offerings taught by 14 instructors, with another 250 students on a waitlist. Eagles is the backbone of the program. She is at the prison daily, perpetually running back and forth between CR’s Del Norte campus and the prison’s campus, making sure students have all the necessary supplies, printing research papers and whatever else they need. She stops in on classes throughout the day, checking on students and professors. When she walks down the hallways, the guards know her by name and students reach out to her respectfully as “Ms. Eagles” and talk to her about how things are going. Each of the students the Journal interviewed for this story pointed to Eagles as the reason the program runs smoothly. She listens to them and advocates on their behalf. If they want more classes or professors, she puts in the time and energy to make it happen. She also works to connect students

being released from custody with resources to continue their education, like Project Rebound and Underground Scholars, programs that work to build a “prison-toschool pipeline” by helping students apply and enroll in colleges and succeed once they get there. “If you don’t feel comfortable on a campus it’s hard to be successful there,” Eagles says. “We help with filling a connection with this campus that will build those confidences.” Working alongside Eagles from within Pelican Bay is Robert Wilson, the prison’s rehabilitation program coordinator — a position created solely for the program. Wilson is the point person for inmates looking to enroll in the program. He checks their educational backgrounds to make sure they meet the qualifications and, if they do, puts them on the waitlist and works with Eagles to find them a spot. “They love it — absolutely love it — and they are really enjoying the ability to take these classes and move toward getting a degree,” Wilson says. “It’s extremely positive. They’re really appreciative and respectful. They know this is an incredible opportunity and the vast majority of them are really making good use of it.” He says the students are highly motivated because they recognize they missed their opportunity at education on the streets and are serious about not wasting a second chance. According to the Prison Policy Initiative, there are more than 2.2 million people in American prisons at any given time and nearly twice as many on parole, probation or some sort of court supervision. Wilson says inmates today are going to be people’s neighbors tomorrow and we’ve got to extend the opportunity for people to change and have access to the tools to be successful in order to break the cycle of incarceration. “If there’s hope, it’s through rehabilitation — it’s the last initial of CDCR,” Wilson says. “I think it’s really critical that these sorts of programs continue to grow and, statistically, you’re much more likely not to come back to prison if you have a G.E.D and obviously an associates. Truly, we have to ... give people opportunities if we are to give them a chance to change.”

“If there’s hope, it’s through rehabilitation.”

“I remember my first day of kindergarten, I didn’t know a lick of English and ended up getting into a fight.” Nguyen, “the fates had something else in store for me” and it was written in the stars he would be born in the United States. Eventually, the Nguyens moved to Long Beach and, after saving enough money, settled in Simi Valley, where Nguyen was raised in a big family, which is something he holds close to his heart. His parents, brother, sister, three uncles, an aunt and grandmother all lived in the same house. He only spoke Vietnamese during his childhood because he was surrounded by first-generation immigrants, which made it difficult when he eventually started school. “I remember my first day of kindergarten, I didn’t know a lick of English and ended up getting into a fight,” Nguyen says. “Where I grew up, there wasn’t many Asians — only one other family in our neighborhood. I was the only Asian in my class up until middle school, so I ended up getting into a lot of fights because people would try to bully me.” School for Nguyen became a place to be victimized, harassed and ostracized. As he advanced in school, he says he became “fretful and easily overwhelmed by anxiety,” which he says contributed to his family relationships beginning to crumble. He eventually started to seek refuge elsewhere, dropped out of high school, found a new family with a street gang and started committing crimes. His younger

sister, Diane Nguyen, says her brother was in a bad rut. “He wasn’t very good at expressing his feelings with us,” Diane Nguyen says. “When he abandoned family, that’s when he came here (prison).” Today, she says. her brother is more open. They exchange weekly letters and when Diane Nguyen lived in Morro Bay, she would take the 583-mile trek to visit Nguyen in prison once a month because “that’s what family does.” The two have always been close and Diane Nguyen says when her brother was sent to prison it was important to her that he knew his family was still there for support. “Everyone makes mistakes but I don’t like calling them mistakes, though,” she says. “They’re just opportunities to learn and grow.” And Diane Nguyen says she has witnessed a lot of growth in her brother since he started college. She says his compassion for others motivates and inspires her to be the best person she can be, adding that he’s always been hardworking and put people before himself. Nguyen’s behavior was so good in prison, in fact, that it almost kept him from graduating. At the beginning of his final semester, he was supposed to be transferred to a lower level security yard, which would have changed his schedule and made it im-

possible to take the necessary courses to graduate. But he asked to stay at a higher level security yard so he could finish school and Eagles campaigned for him. “From the beginning, David has shown a great deal of commitment and passion for every project and endeavor he is involved in,” Eagles says. “He has a way of engaging that is empowering and encouraging to those around him. He is the first to give kudos and embraces a constructive attitude no matter the circumstances, which are qualities I really respect about him. Essentially for David, every occasion is a we-can-do-this opportunity. The program has greatly benefited from his influence as an active ongoing contributor.” Nguyen speaks just as strongly about what the program has done for him. When he arrived at Pelican Bay and there were no opportunities, he says he passed his time daydreaming and sulking around in negative space. But today he radiates positivity — an attitude that others say becomes contagious in the classroom. “I’ve been incarcerated for over 14 years, so I’ve witnessed when there was no type of programming and the culture was locked down,” he says. “It’s crazy to be able to do something like [programming] in such a secured environment. I feel like it’s a blessing.”

If Nguyen has become a shining

star of CR’s program, some say he is also emblematic of the greater changes the college has brought to the prison. Wilson says he has seen a transformation within the prison walls over the last few years, and Nguyen and his peers say having the college inside is helping break down racial and gang segregation. They say the college, coupled with a Prisoners Embracing Anti-hostility Cultural Evolution (PEACE) group, is changing the culture around Pelican Bay. The PEACE group started in 2016 when inmates, some of whom had spent decades in the SHU, collaborated to find ways to keep hostility between races and gangs at a minimum. After hunger strikes in 2011 and 2013, the Center for Constitutional Rights won a lawsuit against Pelican Bay that forced the state of California to end its policy of holding some prisoners in isolation indefinitely. Before the lawsuit, some inmates spent decades in SHU. Today half of the building that contained the SHU has been knocked down and re-purposed for a lower-custody, level 2 housing unit in which a marine mammal biology class is now taught. “If you Google everything on Pelican Bay, that’s the old stuff,” Nguyen says. “Yes,

there’s still isolated housing and it’s still prison and there’s still bad apples around, but there’s more people level headed walking the yard now than there was in the past. There hasn’t been a huge racial riot for the longest time on this yard and that just goes to show.” While there was a riot on the maximum security yard in 2017 that sent eight guards and five inmates to the hospital, things have calmed considerably in recent years, Nguyen says. “There are some incidents, and there is still a lot of stuff that goes on, but it’s not what it used to be,” he says. Nguyen credited the entry-level class taught by Johnson as another factor in helping to break down racial barriers at the prison, as all students must take it before moving on to other courses. Johnson says there’s a lot of opportunity for people to share deep experiences, as well as engage in cultural exchange conversations, in the course. Johnson, a soft-spoken woman with deep blue eyes in her late 40s, says that at first she was unsure whether her students would buy in and participate. That turned out not to be a problem. “Over the years, I can say there hasn’t been one time I asked them to do something in class that they weren’t willing to

16 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, July 11, 2019 • northcoastjournal.com

do,” she says. “They were very open to do that and they benefited a lot from that kind of an activity and I was amazed.” Johnson admits she was a fish out of water walking into Pelican Bay but she was transparent with her students and they opened up to her. Many students, including Nguyen, pointed to her as a reason they stuck with the program. For her part, Johnson says she remembers Nguyen as inspiring, kind and very supportive of other students. Fellow student and best friend to Nguyen, Kunlyna Tauch, agrees, saying Nguyen is the reason he enrolled in college. Nguyen asked Tauch if he was interested in starting school with him but Tauch says he was too busy gang banging to commit. Finally, Nguyen convinced Tauch to sit in on Johnson’s class and he came around. “It all started when David signed me up for Buddhist services,” Tauch says. “He was like, ‘You need to meditate.’ Now I’m the Buddhist peer minister, but it started with that and it kind of linked up with education because it was next door.” Tauch, who first met Nguyen at High Desert Prison, where a guard told him, ‘We’re going to send you where we send all the guys that fuck up,’ before he was transferred to Pelican Bay, is now in line to graduate by next year.

“Man, I’m really glad I met the dude,” Tauch says of Nguyen. “I came up here (Pelican Bay) and was doing the same thing and he came and tried to stop it. He was already in his transformation and he was just more soft-toned and I didn’t like that, but then I became more receptive. He invited me to his groups and I got closer.” The reason for Tauch’s hesitancy was because programs like CR’s used to have negative connotations. Nguyen says if inmates did anything productive they were dubbed “programmers” by other inmates, which was a derogatory word for somebody who wasn’t with the prison culture. Now, he says, inmates are encouraging each other to enroll in programs and people are actually excited to say, “I’m a programmer, I’m in school, I’m a scholar at CR.” Nguyen admits he’s in prison because he needed to be but says he doesn’t want to be remembered for the worst things he’s done. He says he’s been rehabilitated at Pelican Bay, as have the guys he surrounds himself with, and says he almost can’t believe the differences he’s witnessed there. Today he says everyone on his yard plays basketball together, whereas before everyone self-segregated along racial lines to the point that if a basketball rolled over to another race’s area, you couldn’t just go over and get it. And in contrast to the deroga-

tory “programmers” comments that kept people like Tauch from enrolling, Nguyen says seeing inmates walking around the yard carrying books and helping each other with school assignments is common. “We are trying to promote positivity and change,” he says proudly. “We want to try to erase all those barriers, slowly we’re chipping away at it and it takes time. Because CR is here, people are actually talking about school all the time, we are calling ourselves students now, we are changing our mindset of who we are.”

On June 20, 2019, the Pelican Bay

Scholars Program held its first graduation ceremony. CR President Keith Snow-Flamer, Eagles, Wilson, professors and faculty were all dressed in caps and gowns to present the very first two graduates their degrees. Nguyen and Larry Vickers (the second graduate) were dressed in red gowns and once they earned their Associates Degrees for Transfer of Liberal Arts: Behavioral and Social Sciences, they moved their tassels from right to left on their mortar board hats, an age-old acknowledgement of what they had accomplished. Nguyen gave a speech that echoed the words of Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous “I Have A Dream” address and the crowd of students gave an arena-sized ovation. Afterward, those in attendance celebrated with pizza and cupcakes and talked as if they’d just witnessed a miracle. Traveling from Southern California, Nguyen’s father Hung Nguyen, younger sister Diane Nguyen and uncle Howard Nguyen, were in attendance to show their support and struggled to hold back tears. Before the ceremony, a Pelican Bay Prison employee approached Nguyen’s family and told them Nguyen was something special and people like him rarely come around. The employee rested his hand on Hung Nguyen’s shoulder and said, “It has been an honor to work alongside your son.” Asked a short time later about his son graduating, Nguyen’s father says, “Anything is possible. Nothing is impossible.” In his son’s eyes, it’s just the beginning. “In regards to all the things that I have learned along the way from my classes, I will take it and somehow, someway use it to give back to my community,” David Nguyen says with an eye toward his parole suitability hearing in 2021. “I know I want to work as a proponent of criminal justice reform but, ultimately, I just want to serve the community.” l T.William Wallin is a senior at Humboldt State University majoring in journalism and minoring in Eastern religious studies.

Pizza with pesto and brie in Trinidad.

What’s Good: Surprises

From small kitchens and unexpected spots By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

Pizza by the sea When eating in Trinidad, it’s a totally understandable knee-jerk impulse to veer toward fish and chips, clam chowder or crab anything. It’s the seaside atmosphere. But are you overlooking the pizza? In the shadow of its older sibling the Lighthouse Grill and on the former site of the Bergeron Winery tasting room, Headies Pizza and Pour (359 Main St., Trinidad) is reason enough to consider a slice. A walk to the restroom takes you past the tight space in which at most two staffers can maneuver enough to bake a maximum of four 18-inch pizzas at a time in the smallest conventional unit I’ve ever seen. The foundation of those pies is a daringly thin crust that you’ll need to support with one hand — that it retains its chewiness and doesn’t become a cracker is impressive. The crust has enough salt and olive oil flavor to be enjoyed alone, and the puffed and bubbled edge has a soft interior. A four-shelf glass case on the counter displays the by-the-slice options. There are, of course, traditional toppings like pepperoni, mushroom and sausage, but notes of the shop’s winery past linger with goat cheese and fig balsamic vinegar. A slice of the Artist comes with spinach, artichoke, sweet red onion, a liberal application of pesto, roasted garlic and cheese ($3.79, $24.99 pie). The Dealer’s Choice pizza of the day projected a similar vibe with strands of bitter arugula, caramelized onions, finely chopped bacon and hunks of brie melting into a base of garlic and

white wine butter sauce ($3.49 per slice). Find a table in the little dining room or take a slice on a paper plate in a brown bag (the proper way to manage a takeout slice and a hill I will die on at any pizza counter) to one of the lovely vistas in town. That’s all the seaside atmosphere you need.

Meatless at the barbecue place Most of the vegetarians at Shamus T Bones (1911 Truesdale St., Eureka) are on the walls — the taxidermied heads of deer, elk and buffalo looming in all directions. And yet the much-discussed Beyond Beef burger ($13.99 with a side) has landed here with its “bleeding” patty of coconut oil, proteins from soy, potato and wheat, and the weirdly meat-like soy leghemoglobin. That last one doesn’t sound like blood by accident. It’s a feat of science and food engineering that finally creates a narrative link between the menu and the shining and occasionally crackling Tesla coil towering in the dining room. The presentation at Shamus isn’t as convincing to the eye, only lightly browned outside and looking more like a salmon patty. But the interior looks a hell of a lot like the crumble and fatty juiciness (thank the dots of coconut fat for that) of a medium burger. With the classic accompaniments of a sesame seed bun, a plank of dill pickle, red onion, tomato, lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese (which would be improved by melting) and a little chipotle-lime mayonnaise, a bite with eyes

closed is very much like a standard burger indeed. On its own, the flavor of the patty is closer to grilled chicken thigh than beef but the thing is it tastes good, particularly with the added smoke and char of Shamus’ grill. Much has been made of the bloody color but it’s the texture that delivers satisfaction and the umami flavor that provides a base for those elements (pickle, tomato, onion) that make up a lot of what we think of as a burger experience. Will it fool anyone into thinking it’s ground Angus offered two spots above on the menu? No. But it’s genuinely tasty and might go down a little easier under the glassy stare of that thoughtful-looking elk’s head.

Lady’s Choice The grill at The Patron (70 B Wildwood Ave., Rio Dell) can’t be more than 3 by 4 feet but the output, most of which winds up on a bolillo roll, is impressive. Two women with their hair in matching glossy black topknots, lay out meats, tortillas and chopped peppers in separate quadrants on the flattop, assembling burgers for a table of construction workers and a quesadilla to go for a cop. One of the women is Lety Gonzales, who opened the place in the beginning of June with her husband Geraldo Gonzales. (You might find him in Fortuna operating the Patron truck.) Ask what her favorite item on the menu is and she may tell you the Cubana ($13.50), though she admits she can only manage half. Try not to hold it against her when you absolutely ruin your

shirt with this behemoth of a sandwich. Yes, Mr. Actually-that’s-not-a-Cuban-sandwich, I see you with your hand up. Note the feminine ending on the sandwich’s name, as opposed to the roast pork, ham, pickle and Swiss Cubano. The Cubana is a lady and, like many ladies, is doing twice as much to earn a spot on the menu and the canon of Mexican tortas. Making one of these tortas takes up much of the grill, loaded as it is with salchicha (a split and grilled hot dog that I will from now on call by this far prettier name), thick ham, chorizo, thinly sliced and breaded beef milanesa, cheese, tomato, onion, avocado, pineapple, grilled pickled jalapeño slices and a smear of red chipotle. Take your time rereading that, possibly with a glass of water. Even if you don’t get it with the pepper jack cheese, it’s an onslaught of spice and salty meat, sweet fruit, vinegary tartness and melted cheese that only a sturdy bolillo could contain. (Sidebar: I am now fully converted to the bolillo as the best bun for burgers over ¼ pound.) Are you going to be OK if you eat the whole thing? Friend, I don’t know. But there’s no shame in wrapping up half to go — only in not trying. l Share your What’s Good tips with Jennifer Fumiko Cahill, arts and features editor at the Journal.

Setlist

Summer Camp Splendor By Collin Yeo

music@northcoastjournal.com

K campers, pick a perch and cop a squat. I’ve got the 411 for you but this is not a recording and I will not be repeating myself. This week’s checklist of activities will include: the reunion of a local honky-tonk institution, visitors from Canada and England, booty shaking (no laughing, Johnson, or dammit, I will kick you out of here so fast your parents will call to complain from last week!), West African dance and many, many events adjacent to the ongoing festivities at Camp Humboldt Folklife. I will not tolerate any panty raids or hazing: This is the 21st century and we don’t live like assholes anymore. Underwear up the flagpole is still an occasional necessary evil. I want to see your checklists crossed and your merit badges stitched. I want you all to have a good time but not so good a time you end up with a DUI. I want love, valour and compassion to fill the air as it once did when I snuck into the wrong R-rated movie of the same name and left a confused and ultimately unfulfilled teenager those many years ago. My God, Jason Alexander was never meant for a nude scene. But most importantly, I want you to bring home a genuine appreciation of the many fun things this camp has to offer in the dog days of summer. I want you making memories, dammit, because from memories come dreams and through dreams we see ourselves at once as singular humans and as a collective humanity, both bare and costumed in our infinite potential. OK, have a good week. Dismissed!

Thursday Local raconteuse and tavern-scene staple Anna Hamilton plays the Humboldt Cider Co. this evening at 6 p.m. Come join the humorist and songwriter for a rousing set of covers and others (free).

Friday

Planet Booty is an electro funk trio from Oakland that draws its influences from the snappy ’80s acts that themselves influenced the emerging Chicago house scene of that same decade. Tonight

Rooster McClintock plays the Logger Bar at 9:30 p.m. on Friday, July 12.

the group plays the Miniplex for what is certain to be a total sweat-fest. Local bass-pumper DJ Anya officiates at 9 p.m. ($10/$5 early bird tickets). Half an hour later at the Logger Bar, a very different show is going down and it should be one for the ledgers. It’s the triumphant return of local country heroes Rooster McClintock after a half-decade’s absence from the scene. It’s a free show but the physical cost of hootin’, hollerin’ and general carrying on is up to you.

Saturday

The Pine Hill Haints are a band living out of time. Like the ghosts of vinyl jukebox tunes from a long burned down roadhouse that magically appears on moonless nights, the group’s discography is full of bygone sounds from a long-gone America of myth. It’s also a damn good time. You can find out for yourself tonight at the Logger Bar, where the group will be joined by limey folkster Serious Sam Barrett from Old Blighty, as well as sometimes local songwriter and band leader Gabe Rozzell at 9 p.m. (no cover).

Sunday It’s the first weekend of the Humboldt Folklife Festival and all the goods are coming to Perigot Park in Blue Lake to celebrate the erstwhile lumber trains with Annie and Mary Day. In addition to vendors and family fun, there will be live music all day, featuring the sounds of Tyger Byle, That Buckin’ String Band, Bayou Swamis and Dead On. It’s an all-day affair but the music kicks off at 11 a.m. with The Tidepool High Divers (free).

Monday Canada is invading the Outer Space this evening. Mauno is an indie pop duo from Halifax, Nova Scotia. Tonight at 7 p.m. the twosome will be joined by fellow citizens

from the opposite shores of Vancouver, British Columbia, and Sub Pop Records act jo passed. Local acoustic punk act and punctuation enthusiast Daniel. provides. regional. flavor. The cover is a sliding scale of $6-$20.

M ATT B RUNNER R ICK L EVIN J AY S TALLMAN AND OTHERS

Tuesday

Ousmane Sall is a Senegalese ballet dancer who specializes in native dances from his homeland. Over the last 25 years, he has lived in New York City and taught dance clinics around the country. This afternoon at 5:30 p.m. he will be teaching a class about West African dance for aspiring dancers of all skill levels at Redwood Raks Dance Studio (sliding scale $15-$20). This should be a crucial lesson in rhythm as well as great fun for the whole family.

Wednesday The Humboldt Folklife Festival rolls on tonight at the Dell’Arte Amphitheatre at 6 p.m. ($15, $12 Humboldt Folklife Society members, $5 kids). This evening is the Under The Stars night, featuring performances from three of our country’s best roots bands: The Handshakers, Cadillac Ranch and Huckleberry Flint.

Collin Yeo recently had a dream that Paulie Walnuts from The Sopranos played the villain in Uncle Buck. That Uncle Buck doesn’t have a villain is no matter and though many would take this as a sign that they were consuming far too much screen culture, he chooses to believe otherwise. He lives in Arcata.

The month of July, the heartiest part of the summer sandwich, belongs to Fortuna. The Friendly City just celebrated a spectacular Fourth of July (on the third) and now heads into its biggest annual event, a week-long convergence of cowboy culture and competition, the Fortuna Rodeo, which gets bucking July 14-21. Rolling in right on the kicked-up heels of the rodeo is the Fortuna Redwood AutoXpo. But, for this week, all eyes are on the buckle. Saddle up, it’s rodeo time.

Banjo Unchained

The Detours. Mark Larson

Humboldt is home to an enormous pool of talented and active musicians with a large portion of that demographic expressing its passion with pluck. Imagine the look arts and features editor Jennifer Fumiko Cahill and I exchanged after one reader complained there wasn’t enough bluegrass in our paper. You can’t throw a fundraiser without hitting at least one bluegrass, folk, Americana or roots band around these parts. There’s an abundance and for good reason. Folk and its subgenres are the music of the people and the land, and if Humboldt is anything it is “of the people and the land.” The Humboldt Folklife Festival, happening July 13-20 in beautiful Blue Lake, gives us eight days of the good stuff, celebrating the harmonies and high-lonesome sounds of all things Appalchia, folk, bluegrass, newgrass, indiegrass, Gypsygrass and genres of grass I’ve not heard of yet. Here’s the festival hoe-down: The fun starts Saturday, July 13 at Mad River Brewing Co. with the Festival Kick-off party featuring live music by The Vanishing Pints, The March & Months and The Detours starting at 2 p.m. (free, donations appreciated). On Sunday, July 14, gather the family for allday fun during Annie & Mary Day at Perigot Park from noon to 5 p.m. to enjoy tunes from The Tidepool High Divers, Tyger Byle, That Buckin’ String Band, Bayou Swamis and Dead On! (free). Monday, July 15 is Movie Night in the Dell’Arte Carlo Theater with an advanced screening of Country Music a film by Ken Burns at 7:30 pm. (free). Evening musical performances hosted by Dell’Arte fill out the week starting with Songwriter Night on Tuesday, July 16 at the Carlo Theatre at 7:30 p.m. hosted by Patrick Cleary with songwriters Tracy Symons Smith, Michael Dayvid, Georgia Ruth and Andrew Wakefield ($10 non-members, $8 members, $5 kids), Under the Stars Night on Wednesday, July 17 in the Rooney Amphitheatre at 6 p.m. with The Handshakers, Cadillac Ranch and Huckleberry Flint (this popular event is sold out - but it happens every year, so get your tickets early for 2020) and Bluegrass and Beyond on Thursday, July 14 at the Rooney Amphitheatre at 6 p.m. with The Kentucky Warblers, Old Dog and Compost Mountain Boys ($12 non-members, $10 members, $5 kids). On Friday, July 19, head to Prash Hall in Blue Lake at 7 p.m. for the Barn Dance with Striped Pig Stringband and Lyndsey Battle calling ($10, $5 members, free for children under 12) and wind up with the All Day Free Festival on Saturday, July 20 at Dell’Arte with two stages of music, food trucks, children’s crafts and workshops and more (free, donations encouraged). — Kali Cozyris

Vacations from Hell Spider-man: Far from Home and Midsommar By John J. Bennett

filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Reviews

SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME. Way back in 2017 (time proves elastic, seems to have no real meaning) I was somewhat taken aback by how much I enjoyed the most recent reboot/re-imagining/recycling of the Peter Parker/Spiderman character in Spiderman: Homecoming. Tom Holland seemed the right fit for the part: lithe, boyish, charming but uncertain of himself. Director Jon Watts (who collaborated on the screenplay with far too many writers to list here) embraced the awkward earnestness of the character — and of Holland’s portrayal — shading and amplifying it with context and conflict, both within Peter’s personal life and Spidey’s newly expanded Avenger-verse. Of course, it didn’t hurt to have Michael Keaton around as a consummate villain cum class warrior. More to the point, though, Homecoming managed to recapture the angst-become-agency that really defines the appeal and central artistic conceit of comic books. Now more than ever we strive to separate art from artist, but with comics, and Spiderman as perhaps the paramount example, it seems counter-productive: Comic book artists, particularly in the mid20th century, channeled their rage, fear and frustration at personal injustice and social ills into a form that was accessible to everybody. With Peter Parker they created a reluctant hero, an Everyboy who is just as put upon and confused by the world as they were themselves — as are we all. He, more than almost any other canonical American superhero, acknowledges and confronts the notion that a superhero in a vacuum is meaningless — the shadow side, comprised of humanity, humor and doubt, is what elevates that hero. Especially faced with the dour portents of all the Avenging going on, Homecoming felt fresh and somehow more honest, self-assured without being cocky. And it had a sense of humor, an ebullient lightness in stark contrast (see what I did there?) to Robert Downey Jr.’s tossed-off, cutting one-liners. (Don’t get me wrong,

RDJ’s the greatest). But all of this was delicately balanced with a sense of gravity, a respect not only for the bigger arcs of the story, but also for the vagaries of figuring out how to grow up. Since 2017, we’ve weathered umpteen hours of Avengers and a seachange in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The less said about that the better and now we have Spiderman: Far From Home, both a pitch-perfect follow-up to the first installment and an antidote to all that other stuff. Faced with a world irrevocably changed by the events depicted in Avengers: Endgame, Peter Parker could use a vacation. And, it would seem, he shall have one: He is to join his classmates on a school-sponsored European tour of ambiguous purpose. He also has an elaborate plan to make known his feelings for MJ (Zendaya), if he can muster the courage. But, as so often happens, Peter’s vacation is effectively derailed by marauding, amorphous monsters that will come to be called Elementals. Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) shows up, of course, to conscript Peter in his efforts, at which point he is introduced to Quentin Beck/Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal), a costume hero ostensibly transplanted from an alternate Earth. (No spoiler here, as that may not be the whole story.) There follows a trans-European clash of escalating proportion, Peter all the while contending with the concealment of his dual-identity and his crush. While Far From Home occasionally succumbs to the too-elaborate CGI fight choreography that has become a Marvel trademark, the movie counterbalances those moments with genuinely clever plotting and emotional nuance of a type unique to this little corner of the MCU.

Aster. Circumstances precluded me seeing his debut Hereditary (2018) in the theater. (I’ll spare more sensitive readers my editor’s colorful comments about my “forcing” her to watch it for review.) And I know enough about that movie, at least in broad strokes, and about my wife’s home-viewing preferences not to float it as a possible date-night selection. Not wanting to omit possible stylistic or tonal connections between the two, I had tentatively planned to stream it after a matinee of Midsommar. But then I went to a matinee of Midsommar and, well, it was a lot. Don’t get me wrong — the movie is sumptuous, hypnotic and note-perfect. It is also deeply unsettling and has in it a great number of images that cannot be unseen. It challenges both viewer and genre convention, making us laugh and cringe against our will, while standing astride horror, black comedy and melodrama, to name but a few. Devastated by tragedy, Dani (Florence Pugh) accepts her boyfriend Christian’s (Jack Reynor) rather half-hearted invitation to join him and his anthropology grad-student buddies on a trip to Sweden. They accompany their friend Pelle (Vilhelm Blomgren) on a trip home to the rural commune where he was raised, to observe and potentially document the rather unique events of the Midsommar festival there. Any “vacation” that commences with a mushroom trip among strangers is ill-fated, if you ask me, and Midsommar is no exception. The Americans’ experience fades quickly into a horrific fever-dream, a constantly throbbing questioning of what is real, a shrugging off of formerly accepted truths. And then it really gets weird. By way of a disclaimer, this is a twohour-and-20-minute meat grinder of airway-restricting psychedelia that escalates

Dragonflies remembered

A common whitetail dragonfly. Photo by Anthony Westkamper

Sometimes it takes a little excursion to get back home. A fond memory from childhood was watching eight spotted skimmer dragonflies (Libellula forensis) over the little creek at my great aunt’s and imagining them as World War I fighter planes in dogfights high overhead. I didn’t know their names or what their aerobatics were about, but to me they were beautiful and heroic. As I grew up, I traded their beauty and wonder for facts, Latin names and “knowledge.” They became “specimens,” representatives of the macro invertebrate fauna of our local rivers. Visiting a small desert pond in central Oregon last week, I once again got to see my old friends the eight spots. I watched, as they flitted quickly and did banked and flat turns, wingovers and flights up to a stall. I got to see something else as well. One was doing something very un-dogfight-like. It purposefully and repeatedly splashed its tail onto the surface of the water, something that would have terrified any WWI pilot. My grown-up sensibilities knew it was ovipositing (egg laying), as beautiful and heroic as anything Eddie Rickenbacker did. Back home, walking along “my stretch” of the Van Duzen River, I was delighted to see a common whitetail (Plathemis lydia), a Pacific clubtail (Gomphus kurilis) and a couple of Western river cruisers (Macromia magnifica), one of the largest dragonflies you’re likely to see hereabouts.

Bugs while you wait When the lady at the tire store said it would be 45 minutes before my car was ready, I said, “Thank you,” and headed for the door. On the way into the parking lot, I‘d spied a drainage ditch that mean-

ders through Fortuna. It was choked with willows, Himalaya berry vines, Queen Anne’s lace and a host of other weeds too numerous to mention. I expected to see some insects and was not disappointed. The most striking were the damselflies, represented by the large and very blue vivid dancers (Argia vivida) and small, slender Pacific forktails (Ischnura cervula). The most remarkable was a chalk white damselfly with the dark markings of a vivid dancer. Most likely this was just a normal female variant I had not seen before. It was not surprising to see another water-loving species, the black and yellow mud dauber. This parasitoid wasp builds a nest of mud tubes she stuffs with paralyzed spiders, adds a single egg, then seals the cell off with a thick mud plug. I can’t think of a worse horror scenario than to be paralyzed and sealed into a pitch dark cell, hearing the sounds as, one by one, your fellow prisoners are eaten alive. While this species rarely stings humans, I can personally attest that it is a painful experience. On a lighter note, while going for a stroll the other night, a moth attracted by the flashlight beam landed on my wife’s leg. She and it stayed still long enough for me to get my camera out and get the shot. We watched as it went away, returned and landed on the pavement, allowing a still shot for identification. It turned out to be a yellow spotted tiger moth (Lophocampa maculata). I heroically stepped in to rescue them both. l Read more of Anthony Westkamper’s HumBug on Sundays at www. northcoasthournal.com.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to fee and clear ownership of the prop− erty. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this infor− mation. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

Astrology

Free Will Astrology

Cartoons

Week of July 11, 2019 By Rob Brezsny

Homework: What symbol best represents your deepest desire? Testify by going to FreeWillAstrology.com and clicking on “Email Rob.”

freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’re in the Land of Green Magic. That’s potentially very good news, but you must also be cautious. Why? Because in the Land of Green Magic, the seeds of extraneous follies and the seeds of important necessities both grow extra fast. Unless you are a careful weeder, useless stuff will spring up and occupy too much space. So be firm in rooting out the blooms that won’t do you any good. Be aggressive in nurturing only the very best and brightest. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Eight years ago, researchers in Kerala, India went to the Padmanabhaswamy Temple and climbed down into centuries-old vaults deep beneath the main floor. They found a disorganized mess of treasure in the form of gold and precious gems. There were hundreds of chairs made from gold, baskets full of gold coins from the ancient Roman Empire, and a four-foot-high solid statue of a god, among multitudinous other valuables. I like bringing these images to your attention, Taurus, because I have a theory that if you keep them in your awareness, you’ll be more alert than usual to undiscovered riches in your own life and in your own psyche. I suspect you are closer than ever before to unearthing those riches. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Children need to learn certain aptitudes at certain times. If they don’t, they may not be able to master those aptitudes later in life. For example, if infants don’t get the experience of being protected and cared for by adults, it will be hard for them to develop that capacity as toddlers. This is a good metaphor for a developmental phase that you Geminis are going through. In my astrological opinion, 2019 and 2020 are critical years for you to become more skilled at the arts of togetherness and collaboration; to upgrade your abilities so as to get the most out of your intimate relationships. How are you doing with this work so far? CANCER (June 21-July 22): Vantablack is a material made of carbon nanotubes. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, it is the darkest stuff on the planet. No black is blacker than Vantablack. It reflects a mere 0.036% of the light that shines upon it. Because of its unusual quality, it’s ideal for use in the manufacture of certain sensors, cameras, and scientific instruments. Unfortunately, an artist named Anish Kapoor owns exclusive rights to use it in the art world. No other artists are allowed to incorporate Vantablack into their creations. I trust you will NOT follow Kapoor’s selfish example in the coming weeks. In my astrological opinion, it’s crucial that you share your prime gifts, your special skills, and your unique blessings with the whole world. Do not hoard! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Hi, my name is Rob Brezsny, and I confess that I am addicted to breathing air, eating food, drinking water, indulging in sleep and getting high on organic, free-trade, slavery-free dark chocolate. I also confess that I am powerless over these addictions. Now I invite you to be inspired by my silly example and undertake a playful but serious effort to face up to your own fixations. The astrological omens suggest it’s a perfect moment to do so. What are you addicted to? What habits are you entranced by? What conditioned responses are you enslaved to? What traps have you agreed to be snared by? The time is right to identify these compulsions, then make an audacious break for freedom. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When cherries are nearing the end of their ripening process, they are especially vulnerable. If rain falls on them during those last few weeks, they can rot or split, rendering them unmarketable. So cherry-growers hire helicopter pilots to hover over their trees right after it rains, using the downdraft from the blades to dry the valuable little fruits. It may seem like overkill, but it’s the method that works best. I advise you to be on the lookout for similar protective measures during the climactic phase of your personal ripening

process. Your motto should be to take care of your valuables by any means necessary. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Please don’t try to relax. Don’t shy away from challenges. Don’t apologize for your holy quest or tone down your ambition or stop pushing to get better. Not now, anyway, Libra. Just the opposite, in fact. I urge you to pump up the volume on your desires. Be even bigger and bolder and braver. Take maximum advantage of the opportunities that are arising, and cash in on the benevolent conspiracies that are swirling in your vicinity. Now is one of those exceptional moments when tough competition is actually healthy for you, when the pressure to outdo your previous efforts can be tonic and inspiring. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I can’t decide whether to compare your imminent future to a platypus, kaleidoscope, patchwork quilt, or Swiss army knife. From what I can tell, your adventures could bring you random jumbles or melodic mélanges—or a blend of both. So I’m expecting provocative teases, pure flukes, and multiple options. There’ll be crazy wisdom, alluring messes, and unclassifiable opportunities. To ensure that your life is more of an intriguing riddle than a confusing maze, I suggest you stay closely attuned to what you’re really feeling and thinking, and communicate that information with tactful precision. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Every year, thousands of people all over the world go to hospital emergency rooms seeking relief from kidney stones. Many of the treatments are invasive and painful. But in recent years, a benign alternative has emerged. A peer-reviewed article in a scientific journal presented evidence that many patients spontaneously pass their kidney stones simply by riding on roller coasters. I doubt you’ll have a literal problem like kidney stones in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. But I do suspect that any psychological difficulties you encounter can be solved by embarking on thrilling adventures akin to riding on roller coasters. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In his book The Histories, ancient Greek historian Herodotus told the story of a six-year war between the armies of the Medes and the Lydians in an area that today corresponds to Turkey. The conflict ended suddenly on a day when a solar eclipse occurred. Everyone on the battlefield got spooked as the light unexpectedly dimmed, and commanders sought an immediate cease to the hostilities. In the spirit of cosmic portents precipitating practical truces, I suggest you respond to the upcoming lunar eclipse on July 16-17 with overtures of peace and healing and amnesty. It’ll be a good time to reach out to any worthwhile person or group from whom you have been alienated. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): My astrological colleague Guru Gwen believes that right now Aquarians should get scolded and penalized unless they agree to add more rigor and discipline to their rhythms. On the other hand, my astrological colleague Maestro Madelyn feels that Aquarians need to have their backs massaged, their hands held and their problems listened to with grace and empathy. I suppose that both Gwen and Madelyn want to accomplish the same thing, which is to get you back on track. But personally, I’m more in favor of Madelyn’s approach than Gwen’s. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): As a self-taught rebel poet with few formal credentials, I may not have much credibility when I urge you to get yourself better licensed and certified and sanctioned. But according to my analysis of the astrological omens, the coming months will be a favorable time for you to make plans to get the education or training you’re lacking; to find out what it would mean to become more professional and then become more professional; to begin pursuing the credentials that will earn you more power to fulfill your dreams. ●
