FORTUNA 725-9391
ver the past week, we’ve heard two dog whistles blown loudly, one via the bulletin board at a local coffee shop and the other through the Twitter account of the president of the United States. At least locally, the backlash was swift after someone — later determined to be a teenage boy — posted fliers around town linked to a white supremacist group. One overtly contained the image of an assault rifle and rallied “white youth,” warning them that the “entire system hates them” and they should “bring an end to it.” The other was subtler, just a link to the group’s Instagram account and the seemingly innocuous message: “It’s okay to be white.” But that’s the thing about dog whistles , they’re only meant to be really heard by a specific audience. It’s a communication strategy that the general population will take a certain meaning from while giving a certain group of people in the know a secret and intended message. In this case, it’s a message many would shrug off. But the aggrieved white male looking for an outlet might take a special interest in either, recognizing it for the intent or simply thinking, “You’re damn right it’s OK to be white.” It’s those people who then follow the link to the Instagram page and find the more radicalized propaganda — the images of Hitler, the calls of violence, the diatribes about miscegenation and the references to America’s purpose as a “shining beacon of true Aryan spirit.” We were gratified that, despite a too-largefor-our-tastes spoonful of what-aboutism on online message boards, the overwhelming sentiment from the community and our local law enforcement was that this is simply unacceptable and will not be tolerated. That’s the only correct response. That gratitude quickly dissipated, however, when a couple of days later President Donald Trump told four Democratic members of Congress to go back to the “totally broken and crime infested” countries from which they came. Never mind that all are elected members of Congress — three of them were in fact born in the United States and the fourth, Ilhan Omar, a Somalian refugee, arrived in the United States when she was 10, went through the legal asylum process and became a citizen in 2000. She’s from Minnesota. But nationality doesn’t have much to do with the dog whistle Trump blew because it was never about four highly successful women who came from varied backgrounds to con-
vince a majority of voters in their communities that they are the best person to represent them in Congress. No, the dog whistle was telling all the white nationalists out there that this country is solely for people who look like them. It was about telling all the people of color out there that they’ll never be truly American. For people of color, this isn’t an unusual experience — though it rarely comes publicly from the president of the United States. In response to Trump’s Tweet, Journal arts and features editor Jennifer Fumiko Cahill shared the following on Twitter: “I don’t remember not expecting to hear ‘go back to __.’ Kids, adults — the country they imagined I was from changed but the sentiment never did.” So what do we do in the face of all this hate and racism spewing from all planes of our society? We denounce it. Loudly. But that takes different forms. In the case of hate group fliers, if they pop up around town, we suggest you photograph them and report them to the police, then take them down and throw them away. When somebody posts a flier for anything, they’re advertising — they want it to be seen. Don’t advertise for them. Don’t share the flier’s image on social media. If you must, post that you saw some bigot’s flier on a bulletin board and took it down but don’t give the group the gratification of mentioning their name. And if you run a media outlet, please don’t post the group’s email address and links to their social media sites, giving any closeted bigots among us the tools to be validated and perhaps further radicalized. And in the case of the president of the United States, call racism what it is. Representatives Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley are U.S. citizens. No bigot can take that away from them. It’s incumbent upon all of us to keep an ear out for those dog whistles and, if we hear one, to shout loudly enough to make sure everyone sees it for what it is: racist. And know that when, in the face of one of these dog whistles, people mutter a false equivalence — What about Antifa or Black Lives Matter? Why isn’t anyone talking about Omar’s criticism of Israel? — it’s just another dog whistle letting you and everyone else know exactly where they stand. l Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor.

Clam Beach Hike A Show of Respect Editor: I recently had the honor to be part of a funeral procession of a Korean War hero who had been missing in action (NCJ Daily, June 20). It was a touching event to see people lined up along the roadway with flags showing their respect. There was even two Highway Patrol officers saluting as we passed. That sight brought tears to my eyes and I heard later that I was not the only one. My sympathies to the family. I am pleased they finally got their loved one back after so many years. I would like to thank the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office for the escort from the county line to Arcata. I would also like to thank my employer Pacific Builders for enthusiastically allowing me the time off for this special event. As a child, I remember seeing funeral processions but as an adult I can’t remember the last time I saw one. From what I witnessed during this procession, I have to assume not many drivers are familiar with them either so I thought I would give some helpful hints on funeral procession etiquette. Tips for showing respect for a funeral procession: If you encounter cars with
mourners, be polite, pull over and wait for them to pass before proceeding; Once the lead car has entered traffic, such as going through an intersection — the entire procession will follow without interruption. Even if their traffic light is red and yours is green, you must stop and allow the procession to continue through the intersection until all cars in the procession have passed; Show respect by not honking your horn, revving your engine or acting impatient in any way; Don’t try to join the procession or cut into it in any way. It only takes a moment to show respect, imagine if it was your loved one in the hearse. Carol Nelson, Blue Lake
‘Too Great to Hate’ Editor: I feel so grateful to live in a place where attempts to recruit our young people to the side of hatred is not tolerated (“EPD Identifies Juvenile Responsible for Hate Group Fliers, Says no Immediate Threat of Violence,” posted July 11). While it may have been shocking to many people to read about the flier that

was posted in Henderson Center, I hope it was equally heartening to witness our community, including our elected officials and law enforcement officers, respond swiftly and appropriately. I was also grateful to read that the teenage boy who placed the flier has already been identified and is being connected with resources that might help him address some of the issues that led him to make this decision. It sounds as though his family cares about him very much and I hope he knows that the rest of his community in Eureka also wants him to be well. Eureka is too great to hate. Linda Stansberry, Eureka
‘Thoughtful and Responsible’
Editor: Thank you for your responsible coverage of the white nationalist recruitment fliers posted in our community (“EPD Investigating White Supremacist Group’s Local — Lori Cole Recruiting Efforts,” July 10). You chose to crop out (though at first unsuccessfully) the social media and email contact information so as not to give this hate group free advertising. That was the responsible thing to do as a journalist and as a community member. Not all local media chose to do the same — the Lost Coast Outpost notably had no issue with helping spread hate group propaganda in this way. The North Coast Journal’s thoughtful and responsible approach to this topic was much appreciated. Allison Edrington, Eureka l

T
he Humboldt County Planning Commission voted 5-1 on July 11, with Commissioner Alan Bongio dissenting and Commissioner Noah Levy absent, to move an ambitious draft Housing Element update on to the Board of Supervisors. The board is slated to review the draft update — which dubs the local housing situation a “crisis” and identifies drastic solutions, including offering government incentives for building mother-in-law units, sanctioning a tiny house village and even the creation of a county-run development department — at its Aug. 20 and Aug. 27 meetings in order to make any necessary changes and approve the plans ahead of its Aug. 30 deadline to pass the update. The element highlights the housing needs throughout Humboldt County and
lays out a plan to meet them. According to reports contained within the Housing Element, Humboldt County needs to build more than 1,400 units to meet citizen housing needs over the coming eight years. Building desperately needed units, however, has proven a challenge throughout Humboldt County. “The cost of new housing construction continues to be more than what most people can afford,” the element reads. At the May 16 planning commission hearing on the element, county senior planner Michelle Nielsen said “about 70 percent of Humboldt households cannot afford the median priced home” of $310,000. And most of the local housing development in recent years has been in the middle- or upper-income categories. According to county data, 205 middle-income homes were built between
2014 and 2019, far outpacing the need of 146 identified in the previous Housing Element. At the same time, the previous element identified a need of 347 new units to meet the needs of low-income residents, but just 127 were built. It’s a pattern that has continued since the 2007 Housing Element, likely because developing middle class, single family homes is one of the few areas developers still find profitable. To help meet the housing needs of low-income residents, the Housing Element is proposing a number of solutions, including easing restrictions on tiny homes and accessory dwelling units and pushing forward an initiative under Article 34 of the California State Constitution. Article 34 prohibits counties from developing, constructing or acquiring low-rent housing without voter approval, which Deputy County Counsel Joel Ellinwood said is “a significant constraint to achieving affordable housing” during the July 11 meeting. If voters approved the Article 34 initiative, it would essentially allow the county to start its own developing department that could build or acquire low-rent, multi-family units without the need to turn a profit. “It just takes an initiative process,” County Planning and Building Director John Ford told the Journal. “It takes getting something on the ballot, which is time-consuming and often expensive.” But the planning department has come to feel it’s a necessary step, as the private sector for more than a decade now has failed to meet the growing need for affordable housing. “It currently costs more to construct low- and very-low-income units than the income will produce to repay the loans or pay off the construction costs,” Ford said. “So part of what we need to do is to figure out ways to meet that difference.” Not everyone is onboard with the idea of county government getting into the development business. “The concept being proposed of putting the planning department or a new iteration of planning in charge of actually building something is beyond laughable,” former Humboldt County Planning Commissioner Lee Ulansey wrote in a comment on the Journal’s website. “While there are definitely notable exceptions within the department of individuals who show great competence and skill, generally the planning department isn’t competent to run a food truck much less build affordable housing. … Government generally wisely stays well away from construction and that particularly applies in the case of Humboldt. Only a fool would stray down that path.”
Bongio, the planning commissioner representing the First District, voted against sending the Housing Element to the board of supervisors because he feels it lacks a concise plan to achieve its goals. “I’ve been in this for years and we talk about how we are going to do things but they don’t get built,” Bongio told the Journal. Bongio said he would rather see a rollback of what he sees as strict regula-
tions and zoning requirements that make building more homes difficult. In 2018, a 2-acre lot was successfully rezoned and will lead to the building of 66 multi-family units in Myrtletown. That’s a start but it is still not enough to have a major effect on home prices. “The only way you are going to get affordable housing is if you knock the cost off and, right now in California, it’s so expensive to do anything,” Bongio said.
“Affordable housing is just done. There is no such thing. You either have market-rate housing or you have subsidized housing.” Ford, however, said zoning restrictions are commonly misconstrued in Humboldt County. Ford said the state is currently rewriting the laws that surround residential builds to do away with discretionary permits and that building in Humboldt, outside of the coastal zones, does not Continued on next page »

have a strenuous permitting process. “In the inland portions of the county, there are not discretionary permit processes that a developer would have to go through,” Ford said. “In terms of our zoning, it is pretty simple. We just don’t have a lot of requirements right now.” Compared to previous Housing Elements, the 2019 draft update has a unique focus on addressing the needs of those experiencing homelessness. It explicitly states that “housing needs of the very low income and the shelter needs of the homeless are not being adequately met.” It looks to broaden available shelter options as well as supportive housing programs, or those that have “intensive services promoting housing stability.” The 2019 Housing Element also seeks to address the effects of the seasonal “trimmigrant” population by projecting the number of seasonal workers and their housing needs. Four of the public speakers during the July 11 meeting were from Southern Humboldt and spoke about the problems caused by the influx of seasonal workers combined with the lack of available housing. Second District Planning Commissioner Robert Morris asked if composting toilets would help with fast-tracking more housing in Southern Humboldt. “In the last 15 years I’ve been around or longer, there has been a tremendous concern about unpermitted or illegal rural housing and a lot of that has to deal with
septic,” Morris said, wondering whether the use of composting toilets instead of septic systems might reduce costs and expedite permitting. The housing element also points to cannabis legalization as having created problems in the housing market, as it has created “volatility” in local labor and real estate markets. After years of housing elements that have taken what Ford previously referred to as a “zone it and they will build it” approach, it’s clear the one currently heading to the board of supervisors is “thinking outside the box,” a phrase repeated frequently by commissioners and planning staff. It remains to be seen if the board will get behind the new approach. “This thing is pages and pages of stuff that sounds really good,” Bongio said during the July 11 meeting, shortly before voting against the pushing the element forward, “but we have to start thinking outside the box because what we’ve been doing for the last 60 years hasn’t been working.” l Freddy Brewster is a journalism student at Humboldt State University and enjoys covering breaking news events, public records and holding those in power accountable.

Activists paint Rainbow Ridge protest signs. Blockade Babes Instagram
By Tom Wheeler
views@northcoastjournal.com
A
n ember of the old Timber Wars is still smoldering in the woods near Rainbow Ridge in the Mattole. There, a stand-off between forest defenders and Humboldt Redwood Co. is heating up. It is like 1997 all over again — tree-sitters are blocking road construction and logging operations, the sheriff’s office and private security are roughing up protestors and humans are locking their bodies to gates and heavy equipment. Only this time, it isn’t Charles Hurwitz’s Pacific Lumber Co., but its successor, the Humboldt Redwood Co. In 2008, when Humboldt Redwood Co. purchased Pacific Lumber Co.’s assets during bankruptcy, it promised to be a new kind of timber company: open with the public, protective of old growth and endangered species, a good neighbor and tolerant of criticism, such that they wouldn’t call out the dogs when protestors would invariably lock themselves to things (this is Humboldt, after all). The Environmental Protection Information Center, or EPIC, tentatively supported Humboldt Redwood Co.’s purchase during bankruptcy. And we were stunned and thrilled when the company lived up to its word for roughly a decade. But recently, the company has lost course. This letter is a plea to return to form. At issue is a wild place, a Douglas fir and mixed-hardwood stand along Rainbow
Ridge — so precious that people are willing to put their bodies in harm’s way to stop logging here. The area has a long history of contention, as well as cooperative work toward a solution. In 2014, the company took some contested areas of old growth off the table and promised that before operations would commence, the company would sit down again with the community to talk about the rest. That discussion never occurred. When the bulldozers and fellers came back, the forest defenders were waiting. Soon, a protestor named “Rook” was sitting in a large old growth Douglas fir tree in the way of a proposed logging road and Mattole-area elders were encamped in front of a logging gate. Instead of living up to their promises to be a different kind of timber company, Humboldt Redwood Co. responded with the ol’ PALCO playbook. The company hired a private paramilitary security firm — replete with guns and dogs — to “enforce” the law. Next, the rent-a-cops allegedly began to make citizen arrests of anyone attempting to resupply the tree-sit, tackling people attempting to bring water or food, and threatening to tase anyone who stood in the way. A company-employed tree climber scaled Rook’s tree and cut safety lines to other trees and branches that held caches of supplies. The combined effort resulted in Rook’s starvation, as
their caloric intake dropped to around 300 calories a day. Only after Humboldt County Fifth District Supervisor Steve Madrone expressed grave concerns over Rook’s condition did the company relent. The next day, a care package of food and water from HRC arrived. When the company wasn’t allegedly starving Rook, they tried to bully them out of the tree. Using a large excavator, the company reportedly began to knock down the trees immediately adjacent to Rook’s occupied tree, felling the trees toward the occupied tree. Trying to scare protestors with falling trees is not a new tactic. Thankfully, a falling tree only brushed Rook in the occupied tree. Others have been less lucky. In 1998, David “Gypsy” Chain was killed when a PALCO-employed logger felled a tree in his direction before he could get out of the way. The actions of the sheriff’s office are also open to criticism. The close connection between monied timber companies and the cops has a long and sordid history. Again, we see a return to the PALCO playbook. In one instance, the sheriff’s office used a cherry picker to dangerously pluck a protestor from the top of a tall ladder secured to a gate — designed to prevent anyone from opening the gate, which would cause the ladder to fall. According to the Mattole Forest Defenders, the sheriff’s office also arrested two
citizen-journalists, who had been standing on a public road, attempting to cover the demonstration. In a show of excessive force, deputies allegedly slammed these citizen-journalists to the ground to arrest them, resulting in injury. The tactics of the forest defenders are part of a great tradition of American non-violent civil disobedience, from Henry David Thoreau’s refusal to pay taxes to the civil rights movement’s sit-ins and Freedom Riders. In each, the protestor calls attention to an unjust law by refusing to obey it, with full understanding of the consequences of this action. Indeed, it is the weight given by the criminal punishment that gives meaning and clarity to this type of protest, and why civil disobedience has been an effective and well-respected form of American protest. Remember, too, that history has not treated the cops with the fire hoses well. l Tom Wheeler is the executive director of the Environmental Protection Information Center.

t would appear Humboldt County remains a cannabis trendsetter. Leafly is reporting that Humboldt County’s controversial strategy of dealing with illicit grow operations through civil code enforcement abatement notices and fines of up to $10,000 per day, per violation has caught other jurisdictions’ attention. A similar program is already in place in Sonoma County, according to the Leafly article, and another is ready to go live this summer in Mendocino County as other jurisdictions mull taking a similar approach. Sacramento, meanwhile, passed a law July 1 to impose civil fines of up to $30,000 per day on folks operating unlicensed dispensaries. According to the article, the Humboldt County Planning and Building Department sent out 597 cannabis-related abatement notices in 2018 and 148 so far this year. Those on the receiving end of the notices have 10 days to remove their plants and correct the code violation before they face the daily fines, which can run for up to 90 days to a tab of $900,000. Once the number hits that threshold, the county begins taking collection action, which could include property liens. The article notes the county has assessed $3.28 million in cannabis abatement fines since launching the program but didn’t specify how much had actually been collected. It also has liens on five properties, according to Leafly. While county officials and those watching from other jurisdictions feel the approach is effective, it’s far from universally popular. Many in the cannabis industry have charged that the county began by sending abatement notices to people who had applied for county permits but dropped out of the process, many due to high compliance costs. Others say the county just seems to be going after whoever it can happen to find with unpermitted grows through satellite imagery rather than looking to first abate the worst of the worst. Local reporter and Journal contributor Kym Kemp told Leafly that neighbors with fruit or vegetable gardens have received abatement notices. Kemp has, too, noting that the water board sent a notice after taking aerial photos of a green house she uses to grow vegetables in the winter. “I don’t grasp why that would be the first place you would start when there’s a neighbor a quarter mile down the road who leveled a mountain,” she told the news site. There have been other reports of mistaken abatement notices, too. The Times-Standard reported last month that the county’s satellite mapping system had also triggered abatement notices for two Willow Creek vegetable
farms, Trinity River Farm and Neukom Family Farms, causing stress and embarrassment for their owners. It appears every war on illegal weed — whether criminal or civil — will have some collateral damage. l You’ve probably heard by now that the U.S. National Guard is working with local law enforcement throughout Northern California on cannabis eradication operations. What you may not have heard is that the Guard’s elite 95th Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Team sometimes rolls out with chemically-resistant gloves and full-face respirators. An absolutely alarming article posted to www.playboy.com earlier this month (hey, it was sent to me by a friend who just reads it for the articles), followed the elite team and a pair of local biologists — Mourad Gabriel and Greta Wengert of the Integral Ecology Research Center in Blue Lake — to clean up large-scale trespass grows that are the suspected work of foreign drug cartels. While Gabriel and Wengert have long warned of the dangers that anticoagulant rodenticides used at grow sites can pose to wildlife, it appears some growers have doubled down, having found something even more awful than the stuff that makes cute little Pacific fishers bleed out from the inside. The article details how some growers have begun using Carbofuran, a pesticide so strong that a quarter of a teaspoon of the stuff could kill a 600-pound lion, according to Gabriel. And they’re frequently finding bottles of the stuff, which it seems has become popular because it’s incredibly potent and effective in killing both pests and rodents, and because law enforcement is terrified of the stuff. And that’s not without reason, according to the article, which notes that a six-member eradication team had to be hospitalized last year near El Dorado National Forest after being exposed to the poison and a U.S. Forest Service employee went temporarily blind after being exposed while bagging up trash at a grow site. Worse yet, this stuff stays in the soil for years, according to Gabriel. And perhaps the scariest statistic in the entire story: In 2012, Gabriel and Wengert’s crews reported finding Carbofuran at 15 percent of the grows they visited. Last year, it was closer to 85 percent. Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor. Reach him at 442-1400, extension 321, or thad@northcoastjournal.com. Follow him on Twitter @thadeusgreenson.

EPD Identifies Teen Responsible for Hate Group Fliers
T
he Eureka Police Department has identified a teen boy believed to be responsible for posting white supremacist recruiting fliers around town, interviewed him and determined there doesn’t appear to be an immediate physical threat to the community. “He was identified with the assistance of family,” EPD Chief Steve Watson said. “In fact, a family member brought him in here very concerned. The family is very upset to find out what happened and to find out their son was involved in this. They did the right thing, which we very much appreciate.” Watson said there’s no indication that the hate group referenced on the flier has much of a local foothold. “It does not appear at this stage as if there is some large, active group here in Humboldt County,” Watson said. “He may have acted alone.” EPD became aware of the fliers July 10, after a picture of one posted in the Henderson Center area began circulating on social media. Emblazoned with the image of an assault rifle, the flier read: “White youth! This entire system hates you and wants to see our race dead organize with us and bring an end to it.” The flier included an email address and the name of a hate group tied to a blog spot web page started earlier this month that included a manifesto outlining its ideology, which is militant, anti-establishment, anti-Semitic and overtly racist. Among other things, the site contained references to America being “infested” by minorities, saying the

country was “never meant to be a melting pot” but a “shining beacon of true Aryan spirit.” Watson said EPD identified the juvenile believed to be responsible — who Watson described as being “multi-racial” — the night of July 10 and interviewed him the next morning. “From that, we don’t believe there is a present direct physical threat to the community,” Watson said. “Obviously, we’re deeply concerned about the hate speech and the fear that can create in the community and this will remain an open investigation and we’ll continue to monitor what’s taking place with this group and this individual. This is not done just because we’ve identified the subject and set some very clear expectations. We’ll continue to monitor.” Watson said EPD has been in contact and consulting with the FBI and other state and federal partners. The juvenile was not arrested, Watson said, and it doesn’t appear as though he committed a crime. “Beyond condemning the hate and not tolerating it, here’s a young person at a crossroads,” Watson said. “Where is their life going to go and how did they start down this path to post something like this and connect with a group that’s so deplorable? Where do we go from here and how do we help prevent this young man from continuing down this path of hate? This is something this community can’t and won’t tolerate, including law enforcement agencies. But this is also a troubled youth, and we need to look at how to help him

and how he got on this path.” Watson said EPD will work with the juvenile’s family to find a local program that may be able to help him. The chief added that he’s grateful to local citizens who reported the fliers to law enforcement, and encouraged the same vigilance in the future, asking that anyone who sees a flier or publicly displayed materials promoting hate groups — or recruiting for them — report them to police. And Watson said, this is an important reminder to parents to keep close tabs on their children. “There is a big message here that parents, you need to talk to your kids about hate and bias and you need to monitor

THAT VAN LIFE
Dream big, live small: Why living in vans is taking hold in California By Sammy Caiola/Capital Public Radio
Travis Wild’s van parked near Donner Lake. Andrew Nixon/Capital Public Radio
newsroom@northcoastjournal.com
A
young man in a black windbreaker perches on the roof of his Dodge Sprinter van, looks out at the sunlit creek, and thinks about getting dinner
started. The 31-year-old, who goes by Travis Wild, has been living out of the van for the last three years, ticking off daily to-do lists in his tiny household between long stretches of road. He’s not a trucker or a fugitive, just a new brand of nomad wandering the Golden State under the “van life” banner, seeking a different California dream than the previous generation.
Inside the Sprinter, which Wild has repaneled with glossy pine, he rummages through tucked-away compartments for a bowl, a pot and a strainer. He grabs a metal knife from a magnetic strip on the wall — a space saver in the vehicle’s 105-square-foot interior. His sleeping platform sits a few feet above the bamboo floor, tucked between rows of bolted-in bookshelves that make the van feel like a secret attic. Its back doors open to whatever Wild calls a backyard for the day. Tonight it’s a narrow strip of the South Yuba River flanked by smooth gray stones and tall, dry grass.

“I’m really fortunate, I’ve gotten to live a really interesting life,” he says. “I’m never bored. I’m always a bit stressed about it.” A growing enclave of millennials is choosing van life as an alternative to a 9-to-5 job and a mortgage. Now these aren’t the van-lifers you’re probably accustomed to seeing around Humboldt County, parked around the Arcata Plaza or down near Old Town in beat-up vehicles piled high with possessions. These are young professionals — artists, web developers, accountants — who want the freedom to explore without the pressure of punching time cards and
keeping busy social schedules. Their community exists both online and off, with a hashtag that dominates Instagram and roadside meetups across the state. At the same time, California’s housing crisis has forced hundreds of people, particularly in the Bay Area and Los Angeles, to move into their vehicles just to get by. These van-and-car dwellers park on city streets, college campuses and in parking lots in hopes of staying under the radar. “The two are related, in the sense that, particularly in California, … homes have become unaffordable,” says Morley Winograd, a USC scholar who studies mil-

lennials. “The solution is ‘I can’t find more income, and, therefore, I’m going to cut costs by living a nomadic life’. Or people simply don’t have a choice.” Local governments are grappling with the growing number of people sleeping in cars. The city of San Diego just passed a ban on people living in vehicles, and both voluntary campers and homeless individuals are putting up a fight. Other communities — including Santa Barbara, Sonoma and Los Angeles — have instituted sanctuary parking programs, giving folks living in vehicles a safe, legal place to park and stay the night. In Humboldt County, where a recent civil grand jury report estimated “hundreds of people are currently living in their cars,” has no designated legal place for them to park. The problem has extended to Humboldt State University, where some students unable to find housing have been living out of their cars on campus lots. A video detailing one student’s experience went viral earlier this year, getting 3.6 million views on YouTube. Part-time van lifer Noel Russell, of Oakland, showed up at a Berkeley City Council meeting recently to contest a ban similar to the one in San Diego. She says it’s crucial for people who choose to live a mobile lifestyle to acknowledge the hardship of those doing it out of necessity. “There’s abundant privilege in the ability to choose how you want your life to be,” she says. She and her husband work in the homeless services sector and are thinking of turning their weekend adventure van into a full-time home, because they’re fed up with Bay Area rents and prefer to live small. The average monthly rent for a two-bedroom apartment is $3,102 in San Francisco and $1,755 in Los Angeles, according to an ApartmentList analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data. But Russell says people who become transient after being priced out of their neighborhoods have more important stories to tell. “Why don’t we listen to voices from that community?” she says. “I really think we need to hear from people who aren’t taking beautiful pictures out of the backs of their vans.” The mostly 20-and-30-somethings who flock toward van life see it as a dou-
ble-win—a way to save on rent money while pursuing bucket list experiences. Most van lifers spend between $100 and $500 a month in gas and less than $30 a month on campsites in addition to other expenses, according to a survey from Outbound Living, a van life news site. Roughly 87 percent work while on the road. “Remote work has become more available to people,” says Kathleen Morton, who wrote a book on the van life movement. “It’s an affordable housing option.” Morton also helps organize the handful of van life events that happen across the country each year. She said the first gathering in 2015 had just 60 people. Now, they each draw several hundred attendees. Van conversion companies are popping up all over California, and the number of Instagram posts tagged with the movement’s hashtag has passed 5 million. Sales figures for the Mercedes Sprinter, a popular van life vehicle, continue to rise. In 2018, Sprinter sales topped 29,700 vehicles, an increase of more than 2,100 from the previous year. Warm weather, abundant outdoor recreation and lots of public land make the Golden State a hotspot for the movement. So does the strong base of people already doing it. “A lot of these people are looking for community, because life on the road can be really lonely,” Morton says. “I’ve seen a lot of community in California …. they’re searching for people they can camp out with and caravan with.” A lot of van life connections start with people swapping conversion tips and camping recommendations online. Sometimes that leads to planned in-person meetings. But more often, nomads just find each other along the way. “You see another van in a parking lot somewhere and you’re instantly bonded,” says Megan Cable, an Oakhurst accountant and van-lifer. “It’s, ‘You look like you’re doing what I’m doing!’” Russell says it starts with a shared dream. “There’s automatically kinship that’s formed when you’re willing to sacrifice certain comforts for the enjoyment of

exploration and adventure and being outside,” she says. “When there’s folks that know that’s what they’d prefer, you already have a lot in common.” Most who take to van life are hoping to minimize their carbon footprint, though there are mixed opinions about whether it’s greener than a house. Others do it to escape the corporate rat race and meet new people. The lifestyle is even generating its own microeconomy. Some travelers set out to become “influencers,” who make money by documenting their travels and tagging certain gear companies on social media. Others run van life websites and apps. But it isn’t for everyone. Jose Romero, now 26, got turned onto the nomadic lifestyle while working in Yosemite National Park a few years ago. Inspired by the hikers and climbers hanging out roadside, he quit his full-time job and bought a used van. He spent seven months adventuring, while earning stipends as a freelance photographer for outdoor brands, before calling it quits. “It just all hit me at once,” he said. “I could keep doing this for my 20s, but I’m going to hit my 30s and be making no money and won’t have any useful skills or be able to buy a house in the Bay Area,” he says. Winograd of USC says the desire to settle down will ultimately make many van lifers retreat from the road. He says for most, the white picket fence is still the dream. Three quarters of California millennials say home ownership is a long-term goal, according to his latest research. “(The van life) is an echo of a boomer-era, hippie culture, riding around in VW vans and living off the land and so-on,” Winograd says. “It’s not the way (millennials) think of living a good life. And those few who do are into this minimalist culture, and that tends to be a fringe element of the rest of the generation.” Still, people in the movement find ways

to make it work. Wild is a wedding photographer who guides couples to hard-toreach photoshoot locales. He says he doesn’t have any savings right now, but it should be more feasible next year, when he starts flipping converted vans. He’s been reading up on investment and spending more of his non-driving time building his business. “I wanted the freedom to do these things with my time” he says. “I wanted the financial freedom, I wanted the challenge, I wanted to see things I wanted to

see. And I really just wanted to say ‘yes’ to opportunities that I otherwise would have had to say no to.” What he likes most, though, is the sense of community. A plank of wood just above the van’s sliding door is covered with Sharpie marker scribbles, signatures from fellow travelers who’ve popped into the van to say hello. When he’s feeling lonely after a few days of driving or camping, he can hop on Instagram, find another van lifer, and try to arrange a meet. “And what I love is anytime you see

someone doing this, you know at least they’re comfortable taking risks,” he says. “I really want to know, ‘What are you really doing this for, what’s the thing you’re trying for? Is it happiness? Is it minimalism? Is it just a break from your real life? Are you escaping and running from something?’ Those things are really interesting to me.” Wild plans to keep living this dream. Unless something, or someone, pulls him into a different one. “I think the dating thing will eventually stop me,” he says. “I’ll meet someone
who’s cool enough that I’ll stop traveling, or cool enough that they’ll want to travel with me, and either one would be fine.” l Editor’s note: The Journal contributed reporting to help localize this story.

Aaron Cuene and the author after making their escape. Submitted
Panic Room Getting out at Escape Eureka By Dev Richards
getout@northcoastjournal.com
T
he immediate appeal of an escape room is the allure of a real-time, interactive game. It’s the closest I can get to a holodeck without investing some real dough in a virtual reality rig. As immersive virtual gaming becomes more ubiquitous, the brick-and-mortar entertainment industry has to up its game to get you to leave your house. Leaving the house is a chore and a gamble, where the pros (food, other peoples’ dogs) rarely outweigh the cons (putting on pants, making eye contact). Therein lies the secondary appeal of an escape room: a controlled social environment with a time limit and a select team of cohorts. My team consisted solely of fellow On the Spot Comedy member Aaron Cuene. With his sharp intellect and nerves of steel, he was the only team I needed. Also my editor told me to only bring one person, so I chose the person who would be most likely to a) make me look smart and b) talk me down from the panic attack that was likely to be triggered by being locked inside a small room. The lobby of Escape Eureka (214 E. St., Eureka) is bright and airy; it’s clinically calming with large sun-filled windows running along the entire storefront, ferns in planters and clean white walls. It lulls you into a soothed state while owner and
guide extraordinaire Alan Sadler walks you through what you’re about to experience. I had envisioned the sound of heavily clinking locks, perhaps the unsettling slam of something like a cell door. You’re trapped in an enigmatic hell and your only chance for escape is your excellent instincts and innate problem-solving skills. “You’re not actually locked in; the fire marshall doesn’t allow that.” Sadler’s chuckle and polite smile instantly relieved my anxiety. While I basked in my newly found homeostasis, he reached toward my shoulder, saying, “I’m sorry, is it OK if I — you have a spider on you.” He then proceeded to remove THE LARGEST SPIDER EVER from the lapel of my jacket. My amygdala snapped back into action, setting my nerves back on edge. An omen, clearly. Of the two rooms available, the one best fit for a small team is Da Vinci’s Office. As he walked us to our door, Sadler handed us a walkie-talkie and reminded us that we could receive three hints. He could give us hints because he would be watching us on a screen in another room. Watching, I assumed, for a chance to laugh at my complete lack of detective’s intuition. After a quick lock demonstration and brief explanation of the mystery to be
16 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, July 18, 2019 • northcoastjournal.com
solved, we were ushered into the room, the door closing gently behind us. There is no way that Da Vinci’s office was this organized. The man was an eccentric genius. I had expected piles of parchment and canvas, all covered in combination of charcoal dust and regular dust. But the room is neatly and sparsely adorned: a quick reminder that everything there had a purpose. And the large digital clock with its bright red countdown definitely seemed non-Da Vinci. We had one hour. It was easy to become complacent with the tidiness of the room. Sadler’s advice had been to turn everything over, look closely at each item, take notes. But, upon amateur investigation, the room only had, like, four things. Cuene, though, is much better at seeing through post-spider anxiety than I am. Calmly and clearly, Cuene started assessing everything at hand. Motioning toward the white board and marker on the desk, he began to dictate numbers and an inventory of numbers. I felt absolutely Watsonian, sans doctorate. There were so many locks, each requiring a different type of dexterity. I’m a high strung and shaky-handed dropperof-things on a good day. With a camera on me, as I was being flooded with the realization that way too much of my sense of self comes from the approval of others,
opening a basic combo lock became nearly impossible. After about 45 minutes, Sadler’s voice came over the walkie-talkie, “Would you like a hint?” Cuene tells me that my face and body became noticeable relaxed after I heard him reply, “yes.” We ended up taking all three hints and still not making the one-hour time limit. We were allowed to play on, though. I think Sadler could tell I really needed to finish the puzzle. Nice guy. I’d like to think my lack of fine motor skills isn’t the reason we didn’t beat the clock. My poor eyesight could also have a lot to do with it. Those details, those tiny clues, they’re hard to see. A session at Escape Eureka is $25 per person, with recommended group sizes of two to six for the smaller room and four to eight in the larger one. Reservations are required and can be made online at www. escape-eureka.com or by calling 672-9566. No phones and no photos inside — there are lockers to stash your stuff and a complimentary group photo after the game. Go into it with your ego in check. It’s harder than you think, regardless of steady handedness. Take Sadler’s advice: Look closely. Look from angles you wouldn’t normally use. Just don’t look at the clock. l

Zucchini Days of Summer By Simona Carini

ust saying the word “zucchini” evokes summer and the celebration of abundance for which zucchini plants are famous. I get inspired by the different varieties of zucchini and summer squash, which results in my often coming home from the farmers market with a large amount. But I never have a problem using up my purchase. Zucchini are so versatile that if you have some in the crisper, you can always make a frittata, a quick side dish (grilled zucchini anyone?), a vegetable sauce for pasta, or, as described here, a tart. For several years, to make savory tarts I used a crust made of flour and water, which I described in an earlier article (“Hooray for Carrots — for Once,” June 4, 2015). More recently I have been using a (gluten-free) crust made with cashews, coconut flour and butter, a variation of a recipe in the cookbook The Ketogenic Kitchen by Domini Kemp and Patricia Daly. For the filling, besides zucchini, I use fresh onions and garlic, all now available at the farmers market. While the recipe takes a bit of work, it can be done in stages, with the crust and filling prepared in advance, and the final baking close to serving time. Zucchini lovers will like this dish and people who are not wild about zucchini may even decide the vegetable deserves another chance.
Zucchini Tart Serves 4 to 8 Ingredients For the crust: 2 1/4 ounces (roughly 1/2 cup) raw cashews 2 ounces (roughly 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons) coconut flour

1/8 teaspoon berberé spice mix or sweet paprika A pinch of salt 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, thoroughly cold For the filling: 1 1/2 pounds zucchini (all green or a mix of green and golden zucchini) 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 10 ounces fresh sweet onion, diced small 4 garlic cloves, minced 1/4 teaspoon berberé spice mix or sweet paprika plus a pinch of cayenne pepper 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, or to taste 2 ounces fresh chèvre 3/4 ounce freshly grated cheese, like Manchego or cheddar Put the cashews, coconut flour, spice and salt in a food processor and process until the cashews are finely ground. Add the butter, cut into small cubes, then pulse briefly a few times until the mixture resembles coarse meal. To bake the tart, use a 9 3/8-inch in diameter, 1-inch high tart pan with removable bottom. Heat the oven to 350 F. Put the crust mix in the tart pan and distribute it evenly. With your fingertips press the mix down to make an even layer all around. Bake until the crust turns golden at the edge, 9-12 minutes. Take the pan out
of the oven and set aside until ready to assemble the tart. Trim the zucchini top and bottom, quarter each lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/8 inch-thick slices. Warm up the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, stir to coat and let cook on medium-low heat for 8 minutes, then add the garlic, sprinkle the spice mix and stir well. Cook for 1 minute, then add the zucchini and stir well. Cover and cook gently until the zucchini are tender (20-25 minutes). Every few minutes, uncover and stir. The last 5 minutes or so, cook uncovered to let the extra water evaporate. Sprinkle the salt and stir, then remove the pan from the heat. Let cool, then add the crumbled chèvre and stir well to distribute it evenly. Heat the oven to 350 F. Transfer the filling onto the prepared crust and distribute it evenly. Sprinkle the grated cheese on top. Bake for 30-32 minutes. Take the tart out of the oven. Cut the tart in the pan and serve right away. The crust is crumbly and the plating may not be perfect, but the first bite will make you forget everything else. l

started out this week’s column by just underlining in my notebook a bunch of punk shows happening around the bay. But my notebook, full of fliers and Cy Twombly-esque scribbles that pass as notes, tends to take on a stochastic process once the week gets fat and my deadline ripens, so I just let that first impulse go like so much loose wind and decided to curate as weird a week as a midsummer stretch in our remote county will allow. And here it is, unrefined, crude and ready for any personal home application. Enjoy.
can really play and a great electric blues show is good for your health. And $20 is a real steal for good health.
Thursday
Saturday
It’s always a treat to catch a band’s first gig. Worst-case scenario they’re just a little boring and forgettable. Next worse, you walk away with the memory of something truly dreadful that you and your friends can snicker about in shared mirth. Very rarely you might hit gold and see an absolutely incredible show but most of the time you are going to find a band sparking fits of earnest energy directed at you. What a treat. Tonight at the Outer Space you can take your chances with the inaugural performance of local hardcore act Minority, who will be sharing the stage with Vancouver, British Columbia’s Palm Oil and local songsmith Daniel. 7 p.m. (Sliding scale $5-$20).
Dark and dusty end of times Portland band Roselit Bone makes a much appreciated return to the Siren’s Song. 9 p.m. (price TBA). This ensemble plays death country and wall of voodoo dirges for the clever masses so you really should count yourself in on the action. Particularly because spooky night angels Moon Pine are on the bill as well.
Friday The punk rock continues tonight at RampArt Skatepark. Savage Beat is a heavy pub band from Amsterdam with a background in Oi! and glam rock. These flying dutchmen will be teaming up with Portland, Oregon’s Death Ridge Boys, an unrelenting lefty punk act. Is there anything better than a punk show at an indoor skatepark on a warm summer night? Why yes, that would be a skatepark summer show with local support from KLOD, Not Ewe and Cross Contamination. 8 p.m. ($7). At the same hour at Humbrews an old favorite of mine is playing. I’m not usually a big fan of white guy dad blues, but Bay Area kings Tommy Castro and the Painkillers are the real deal. I first saw Tommy as a teenager and just loved his guitar tone and mid-century soul vocals. These chaps

Fatty Cakes and the Puff Pastries plays the Outer Space at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 23. Photo by Liz Cabrera.
Sunday
Spencer Owen Timeshare is a peppy 4/4 rock dance affair collective from Oakland that has a real handle on the importance of dynamic shifts in its songwriting. If the group sounds anything live like it does on its excellent record Presentation, this evening’s show at the Outer Space won’t be one to miss. 8 p.m. ($5-$20 sliding scale). Vape-soul trio Meganora is in the mix, too.
Monday There are certain artists who, no matter how often they roll through town, I will always enthusiastically rep. And as my friends will cheerfully tell you, enthusiastic is not an adjective with which I am readily associated. But nonetheless, I have to tell you to hit the jake brake on your Monday night’s plans and come the fuck over to the Jam to catch the ineffable audio-blast of one-man astronaut Bob Log III. This isn’t simply a show, it’s a country blues smelting pot for all of the transmundane weirdos of our area to forge good memories in. And if you miss it then I have nothing to offer in the way of analgesics. You’re on your own. One-man bassist
punk tunesmith The Bored Again opens up the shop. 9 p.m. ($10).
Tuesday
Fatty Cakes and the Puff Pastries is a body-positive “musical grrl gang” from Fresno that has some very jangly and rollicking sounds to buffer lyrics that find rhyming twins in Tom Petty and the actress who played Tank Girl. The quintet will be appearing at the Outer Space at 7 p.m., accompanied by new local sound project Peak Simulation. Ferndale’s finest hi-fi wrangler DJ Rosé will chop up the mix and pump the jams. ($5-$20 sliding scale).
Wednesday The Basement is a place that I have been meaning to check out but haven’t been able to do much more than poke my head around the doorway like an upright cartoon wolf in a suit and spats walking down H Street past the plaza. My oversized cigar isn’t allowed inside and my googly eyes under my massive fedora get tangled up together and drag on the sidewalk when I see an attractive someone nearby so the whole thing is just obnoxious. But I swear that as soon as I get this whole Roger Rabbit syndrome sorted out, I will check this place out proper. And what better night to do so than tonight? The venerable Lovebush is playing another afro-beat funk show for the ages at 8:30 p.m. Be there, or be an anthropomorphic animaniac too square to fit in the building. l Collin Yeo would like to remind you that this time of the year was briefly called the beginning of the month of Thermidor during the French Revolution instead of mid-July. Which just goes to show you what can happen if enough people believe in something. He lives in Arcata.

Fans of river music festivals just lost a big one with the cancellation of Reggae on the River this year. While electronic music may not necessarily be a reggae lover’s jam, the EDM-heavy Northern Nights Music Festival, lighting up the star-filled skies over Cooks Valley Campground Friday, July 19, through Sunday, July 21, resembles ROTR in that it’s a feel-good music fest focused love and unity, with camping and floating along the Eel River, grooving to music that reverberates from multiple stages. Plus, it has wellness modalities like yoga, cannabis and unplugging with like-minded folk in a beautiful natural setting. This year’s NNMF features big names in the modern electronic music scene: Headliners Big Wild, Zhu and Desert Hearts, as well as up-and-coming acts Xiuhtezcatl, Noodles and Sacha Robotti. Other performers include CharlestheFirst, Shades, Con Brio, Berner, The Funk Hunters, Crooked Colours, Odie, Dance Spirit, Minnesota, Fuego, Flow & Zeo and others, all bringing bass and beats to the festival’s six stages — including a natural amphitheater, a stage in the redwoods and a river-side stage. There’s a plethora of food, art and fashion vendors, as well as live art installations and a gallery, silent disco takeovers featuring So-Hum Syndicate and Whomp, specialty bars and yoga every morning to get you ready for the day’s adventures. Northern Nights is also reportedly the first camping, three-day and overnight festival in the country to allow the licensed recreational dispensing and use of cannabis, and will have dispensaries on site along with wellness classes, workshops and “mindful gatherings” open to attendees 21 and over to help keep the vibe chill. General admission, VIP, camping and add-on tickets available at www.northernnights.org. — Kali Cozyris

The Filmore to Hunter’s Point
The Last Black Man in San Francisco is a case study in gentrification By Kristin Kirby
When you find out they keep letting Quentin Tarantino make movies.
filmland@northcoastjournal.com
Reviews
THE LAST BLACK MAN IN SAN FRANCISCO. The movie opens on a school-aged African American girl skipping happily down a street next to the bay. Inches away, be-hazmatted workers gingerly remove debris from the area around her feet. The scene is Hunter’s Point, a rarely talked about neighborhood of San Francisco where the U.S. Navy kept its fleets beginning in World War II. A street preacher, standing on a box, shouts to a nearly empty street about how the area has been polluted with radioactive waste for decades and the city’s done nothing about it until now — when most of the black people are gone. And so the film begins — a stark look at the reality of black people forced to be on the move. It’s also a tribute to a lost era of a city with many lost eras, and whose identity keeps slipping through the hands of those who try to make a go of it. Slow-motion shots of people’s faces as they move through town cement the idea that the city is its people. Jimmie (Jimmie Fails), a young black man whose dream is to live in his childhood home, a Victorian house in the Fillmore district that his grandfather built, stays in a cramped apartment in Hunter’s Point with his friend Montgomery (Jonathan Majors), an aspiring playwright, and Mont’s grandfather (Danny Glover). They spend evenings in front of the TV as Mont explains the action to his grandfather, who is blind. Jimmy lives there because he’s had a tumultuous upbringing; his father, with whom he has a strained relationship, lost the house and he spent part of his time growing up in a group home. He has nowhere else to go. When Jimmie and Mont aren’t riding their skateboards through the city, Mont can be found writing and reading his plays aloud on a little dock at the edge of the polluted bay. Jimmy recruits Mont to help him find ways into his old house. He is so obsessed with the house that he keeps an eye on it, removing trash and even touching up the paint, much to the current owner’s chagrin. In the Fillmore district, where a one-bedroom apartment can now be had for $3,600 a month and the median home value is $1.36
The Last Black Man in San Francisco
million, according to Zillow, it can be hard to fathom why someone wouldn’t just give up — as many have. That’s why Jimmy’s grandiose dream is at the same time so admirable and tragic. San Francisco’s history is different than that of other larger American cities, especially those on the East Coast. Founded in 1776, its first real growth spurt wasn’t until after gold was discovered in 1849. The city’s demographics have continually shifted; in the 1800s, workers came from places as far away as China and Japan. African Americans have populated the city since the 1800s, but only sparsely until WWII, when people came from southern states like Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas to work in the shipyards. Conveniently, Japanese Americans were forced from their homes and into internment camps at that time. As San Francisco, like many other cities, had covenants that restricted people of color and various nationalities from living in most parts of the city, many of the available homes were in the Fillmore district, which became a thriving African-American neighborhood, even known as “The Harlem of the West.” But the Fillmore wouldn’t last long. Starting in the late 1950s and lasting for the next 40 years, the city began demolishing houses in the area under the guise of combatting “urban blight.” This amounted to the eviction of 4,729 households in a neighborhood that was 60 percent black, the shuttering of some 880 businesses and the razing of 2,500 Victorian homes, according to SF Gate. At this point, many people fled to Bayview and Hunters Point and farther out to Oakland in order to raise families. By 2016, black people made up just 6 percent of the city. Black people losing their property is not an idea unique to San Francisco or to the late 20th century. It’s something that continues to happen throughout the country. At one point, a friend who gives the men a lift points out an apartment building that he says was burned to the ground because it had rent-controlled tenants. Whether true or not, it’s the same result as only the rich, and mostly white, can afford to live in the City by the Bay. History aside, the film’s focus on the

relationship between the two men was the most compelling aspect for me. As Jimmy struggles to gain ownership of the house, Majors gives a heartrending performance as the ever faithful and optimistic best friend who tries to make Jimmy see he can look beyond “the stories we are born into.” This first feature film from Joe Talbot won two awards at Sundance. Expect to see it get more. R. 120M.

“... this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon ... No single space project in this period will be ... more important for the longrange exploration of space.” (JFK, May 25, 1961) “I’m not that interested in space.” (JFK, Nov. 21, 1962)
I
n his book One Giant Leap, Historian Charles Fishman claims that the U.S. wouldn’t have landed men on the moon “before this decade is out” — by December of 1969 — if not for President John F. Kennedy’s assassination. While his successor, Lyndon Johnson, was an out-and-out space advocate, Kennedy’s enthusiasm wavered once the full cost of the Apollo program ($112 billion in today’s dollars) became evident. JFK had more pressing domestic goals, especially once the public realized that the real rationale was simply to beat Russia. As ex-President Dwight Eisenhower said, “Anybody who would spend $40 billion in a race to the moon for national prestige is nuts.” Nuts or not, once LBJ assumed the presidency, NASA’s budget, cut under Kennedy, was restored and augmented, meaning President Richard Nixon was able to reap the national glory after Neil, Buzz and 10 others landed, gathered rocks, conducted science experiments, golfed and returned safely from the moon. The last three missions even saw them driving “moon buggies” across the rugged surface. And then … that was that. In 1972, the program came to a crashing halt, and Eugene Cernan acquired the unfortunate title of “Last Man on the Moon.” The whole glorious, risky and astronomically expensive 11-year lunar adventure nearly didn’t make it. In 1961, when NASA was given the go-ahead, virtually everything that made it all possible didn’t exist. No one knew how to build a sufficiently small computer to fit in a space capsule, we had no rockets anywhere near powerful enough for the job, no large launch pads, no tracking stations, no Houston Control, no spacesuits. Back then, they didn’t even know what they would need. So much was unknown. Would the lunar surface support the weight of a spacecraft? What would astronauts breathe? (Only
Apollo’s lunar lander “Eagle,” the most complicated vehicle ever built. Had the ascent engine failed, astronauts would have been stranded on the moon. NASA after the tragic 1967 Apollo 1 fire did NASA abandon high-pressure 100-percent oxygen.) What was involved in building a hitherto unknown variable-power rocket engine needed for the lunar lander? What about pooping and peeing in low or zero gravity? Where would they find the expertise to design and manufacture self-contained pressurized spacesuits strong enough to resist micrometeorites, yet sufficiently flexible for astronauts to move around in? (Answer: the Playtex bra company.) And the dust! Everyone remembers Neil Armstrong’s first line on the moon, “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.” Less memorable but more significant is what he said next: “And the surface is fine and powdery. I can pick it up loosely with my toe.” The fine, sticky dust proved to be a major problem for lunar astronauts, since, in the light gravity, they couldn’t shake it off before re-entering their cramped landers. (Anytime I hear about the possibility of returning to the moon — perhaps building a base there — my first thought is, “How will they deal with the dust?”) Fifty years later, it all seems a distant era, almost like Columbus sailing into the unknown. It’s hard to imagine the sheer hubris of the time: Kennedy setting the goal when we’d barely gotten into Earth’s orbit. And now some talk about going to Mars with that same optimism and brio: We will do it because we can. No matter that the moon is three days away, compared to Mars’ nine months travel time ... and all the rest of the problems. Buoyed by an “if you can dream it” attitude, the would-be Martian explorers make their plans. Based on what was achieved 50 years ago, they might just succeed. l Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo. com) listened to Armstrong’s “one small step” on a shortwave radio in Greece.

Free Will Astrology Week of July. 25, 2019 By Rob Brezsny
Homework: What’s the most amazing feat you ever pulled off? What will you do for your next amazing feat? Truthrooster@gmail.com.
freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): After analyzing unusual animal behavior, magnetic fluctuations, outbreaks of mayhem on Twitter, and the position of the moon, a psychic has foretold that a moderate earthquake will rumble through the St. Louis, Missouri area in the coming weeks. I don’t agree with her prophecy. But I have a prediction of my own. Using data about how cosmic forces are conspiring to amuse and titillate your rapture chakra, I predict a major lovequake for many Aries between now and August 20. I suggest you start preparing immediately. How? Brainstorm about adventures and breakthroughs that will boost exciting togetherness. Get yourself in the frame of mind to seek out collaborative catharses that evoke both sensory delights and spiritual insights. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Tell me what you pay attention to and I will tell you who you are,” wrote Taurus philosopher José Ortega y Gasset. You could use that idea to achieve a finer grade of peace and grace in the coming weeks. The navel-gazing phase of your yearly cycle has begun, which means you’ll be in closest alignment with cosmic rhythms if you get to know yourself much better. One of the best ways to do that is to analyze what you pay most attention to. Another excellent way is to expand and refine and tenderize your feelings for what you pay most attention to. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Uruguayan author Eduardo Galeano wrote that in Havana, people refer to their friends as mi sangre, my blood, or mi tierra, my country. In Caracas, he reported, a friend might be called mi llave, my key, or mi pana, my bread. Since you are in the alliance-boosting phase of your cycle, Gemini, I trust that you will find good reasons to think of your comrades as your blood, your country, your key, or your bread. It’s a favorable time for you to get closer, more personal, and more intimate. The affectionate depths are calling to you. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your emotional intelligence is so strong right now that I bet you could alleviate the pain of a loved one even as you soothe a long-running ache of your own. You’re so spiritually alluring, I suspect you could arouse the sacred yearning of a guru, saint, or bodhisattva. You’re so interesting, someone might write a poem or story about you. You’re so overflowing with a lust for life that you might lift people out of their ruts just by being in their presence. You’re so smart you could come up with at least a partial solution to a riddle whose solution has evaded you for a long time. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The Queen of North America and Europe called me on the phone. At least that’s how she identified herself. “I have a message for your Leo readers,” she told me. “Why Leo?” I asked. “Because I’m a Leo myself,” she replied, “and I know what my tribe needs to know right now.” I said, “OK. Give it to me.” “Tell Leos to always keep in mind the difference between healthy pride and debilitating hubris,” she said. “Tell them to be dazzlingly and daringly competent without becoming bossy and egomaniacal. They should disappear their arrogance but nourish their mandate to express leadership and serve as a role model. Be shiny and bright but not glaring and blinding. Be irresistible but not envy-inducing.” VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Congrats, Virgo! You are beginning the denouement of your yearly cycle. Anything you do to resolve lingering conflicts and finish up old business will yield fertile rewards. Fate will conspire benevolently in your behalf as you bid final goodbyes to the influences you’ll be smart not to drag along with you into the new cycle that will begin in a few weeks. To inspire your holy work, I give you this poem by Virgo poet Charles Wright: “Knot by knot I untie myself from the past / And let it rise away from me like a balloon. / What a small thing it becomes. / What a bright tweak at the vanishing point, blue on blue.”
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I predict that between now and the end of the year, a Libran genetic engineer will create a new species of animal called a dat. A cross between a cat and a dog, it will have the grace, independence, and vigilance of a Persian cat and the geniality, loyalty, and ebullient strength of a golden retriever. Its stalking skills will synthesize the cat’s and dog’s different styles of hunting. I also predict that in the coming months, you will achieve greater harmony between the cat and dog aspects of your own nature, thereby acquiring some of the hybrid talents of the dat. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio poet Marianne Moore (1887–1972) won the Pulitzer Prize and several other prestigious awards. She was a rare poet who became a celebrity. That’s one of the reasons why the Ford car company asked her to dream up interesting names for a new model they were manufacturing. Alas, Ford decided the 43 possibilities she presented were too poetic, and rejected all of them. But some of Moore’s names are apt descriptors for the roles you could and should play in the phase you’re beginning, so I’m offering them for your use. Here they are: 1. Anticipator. 2. The Impeccable. 3. Tonnere Alifère (French term for “winged thunder”). 4. Tir á l’arc (French term for “bull’s eye”). 5. Regina-Rex (Latin terms for “queen” and “king”). SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It’s conceivable that in one of your past lives you were a pioneer who made the rough 2,170-mile migration via wagon train from Missouri to Oregon in the 1830s. Or maybe you were a sailor who accompanied the Viking Leif Eriksson in his travels to the New World five-hundred years before Columbus. Is it possible you were part of the team assembled by Italian diplomat Giovanni da Pian del Carpine, who journeyed from Rome to Mongolia in the 13th century? Here’s why I’m entertaining these thoughts, Sagittarius: I suspect that a similar itch to ramble and explore and seek adventure may rise up in you during the coming weeks. I won’t be surprised if you consider making a foray to the edge of your known world. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-July 189): When the dinosaurs died off 65 million years ago, the crocodiles didn’t. They were around for 135 million years before that era, and are still here now. Why? “They are extremely tough and robust,” says croc expert James Perran Ross. Their immune systems “are just incredible.” Maybe best of all, they “learn quickly and adapt to changes in their situation.” In accordance with the astrological omens, I’m naming the crocodile as your creature teacher for the coming weeks. I suspect you will be able to call on a comparable version of their will to thrive. (Read more about crocs: tinyurl.com/ ToughAndRobust.) AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “My only hope is that one day I can love myself as much as I love you.” Poet Mariah Gordon-Dyke wrote that to a lover, and now I’m offering it to you as you begin your Season of Self-Love. You’ve passed through other Seasons of Self-Love in the past, but none of them has ever had such rich potential to deepen and ripen your self-love. I bet you’ll discover new secrets about how to love yourself with the same intensity you have loved your most treasured allies. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Poems can bring comfort,” writes Piscean poet Jane Hirshfield. “They let us know . . . that we are not alone — but they also unseat us and make us more susceptible, larger, elastic. They foment revolutions of awareness and allow the complex, uncertain, actual world to enter.” According to my understanding of upcoming astrological omens, Pisces, life itself will soon be like the poems Hirshfield describes: unruly yet comforting; a source of solace but also a catalyst for transformation; bringing you healing and support but also asking you to rise up and reinvent yourself. Sounds like fun!

President’s Message
W
e couldn't do it without you. Since 1990 is how long the Fortuna Redwood AutoXpo has been bringing excitement to the fourth weekend in July. The 2007 event was dedicated to the memory of Pete Perdew, and so we all worked extra hard to make it special. We think we succeeded and we would like to thank those who helped make it happen. Because of all of you, we were able to award scholarships again this year and plan to continue to do so in the future. Special thanks go to all the merchants and professionals who generously donated goods for prizes and funds for trophies. Your continued cooperation and enthusiasm is gratefully appreciated. We also thank the media for their excellent cooperation and coverage. Our "Friendly City" nickname is well earned and the atmosphere it creates for visitors during AutoXpo is often remarked upon by our participants. We appreciate what our community does in
support of our event. The small army of volunteers, many of whom have helped all seventeen years, always make us look good as they attend to the many tasks, not all of them fun, which are necessary to keep all our venues operating smoothly. From standing on a street corner during the Cruise on Friday, to helping with clean-up on Sunday night, we would be lost without our volunteers throughout the weekend. And, of course, an army is always looking for recruits, so if you, too, want to be overworked and under appreciated, give us a call at (707) 572-7855 and get your name on the list for next year. We cannot say enough about the excellence and cooperation of our police and parks departments. They are always there for us to make our vision a reality. They anticipate our needs and deliver on our wishes. So, thank you Fortuna, for being such a great place to be all the time, and an extraordinary place to be during AutoXpo. — Ryan Walters, President, and the Fortuna Redwood AutoXpo Committee
