The Crises of Our Time

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

Parallel crises that are tightening their grips on the United States year by year, and day by day, collided on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania, when a would-be assassin opened fire on former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally.

Fortunately, Trump escaped the shooting largely unscathed, save for a wound to his right ear, but three of his rally goers — Corey Comperatore, a 50-year-old volunteer fire chief who was killed while reportedly trying to shield his family, and two other men who were in critical condition after being shot — were not so fortunate.

And the crises of toxic political rhetoric and gun violence remain.

the more so when you add in the rise in disinformation and declining faith in our institutions, both of which were painfully on full display after the attempted assassination of Trump. Within hours, social media was awash in meritless conspiracy theories from all political spectrums, with simultaneous bloviations that the shooting was state sanctioned or staged for political advantage.

So what do we do in this political and social landscape that seems to grow more frightening by the day, with tensions poised to mount exponentially as we barrel toward an election less than four months away? The question seems paralyzingly large, but we see some low-hanging fruit.

While the shooting was shocking, it perhaps should not have been surprising. While news coverage, politicians’ statements and popular sentiment might have you believe political violence is rare in the United States, we don’t need to look far to find scores of examples. There was the 2011 shooting of Congressmember Gabby Gi ords, the 2017 mass shooting at a practice for the Congressional Baseball Game, the foiled kidnapping of then Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in 2020, the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol and the attempted kidnapping of then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and assault on her husband in 2022. And those are just the ones involving national figures that played out in the national press.

It seems unlikely coincidental that roughly over the same time period, our national politics have steadily devolved into one of grievance, vitriol and hyperbole, with politicians seemingly ever more willing to attack one another’s character and intentions rather than their policies, more likely to use the language of war than the language of compromise and compassion. It seems forgotten these days that in politics we don’t have enemies, just fellow citizens with whom we may disagree.

All the more alarming is that this crisis isn’t playing out in a vacuum. Since 2010, gun deaths in the United States have spiked sharply, reaching an unprecedented 47,000-plus in 2021. Our gun death rates — which are now rivaling their peaks in the 1970s — dwarf those of most other developed nations.

These trends are alarming, and all

First, the gun owners among us can make sure our weapons are secure, taking advantage of trigger locks and lockboxes to ensure they don’t wind up in the wrong hands, whether those of a loved one in crisis or a burglar.

Second, we can think critically about the information we’re fed and approach political conversations (and choices) from a place of reason rather than emotion. We can look to bridge divides rather than exploit them, strive to model decency rather than depravity, listen rather than yell. And we can support politicians who do the same.

And perhaps most importantly, we can put our devices down, turn o the cable news and talk radio pundits, and simply engage with one another. Our national politics have turned toxic but our lives and mental health do not need to follow suit. Help an elder in your neighborhood, check on your loved ones, volunteer for one of our many nonprofits doing good work locally or spend some time out in the beauty of the natural world that surrounds us (maybe taking a trash bag with you to leave the place a bit better than you found it).

There’s no getting around the fact that these are scary times and the future is uncertain. What is certain is that we’re in this together, as a Humboldt community and as a nation. And the more we keep that in mind, the better o we’ll be. ●

Big voice, big action: Their doings dominate Every conversation, And they glory in the gossip Like true Californians.

‘Biden’s Hubris’

Editor:

I find myself disgusted by Biden’s hubris that he is insisting on staying in the race, and that we “should move on because I’m not getting out” (Mailbox, July 11) Their camp is blaming what they call “the chattering class” for “keeping it alive.” Wrong! You have exposed yourself as a liar who is in severe physical and cognitive decline. The deception! With what’s at stake, what a disgrace. Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Carol Bise, Eureka

‘The Highest, Purest Form’

Editor:

A heart felt “thank you” Mary Thibodeaux Lentz for writing the magnificent, poignant poem entitled “Dear Mr. Biden” that appeared in the July 11 edition. And, thank you NCJ for printing it. The poem represents the highest, purest form of political expression, in my opinion. It was doubly powerful for me because the Hope Creek/Ten Taypo loop trail is my

favorite in Redwood National and State Parks.

Miraculously, without saying a single word, other than invoking President Biden’s name, Mary was able to alert us to the dangers of a Trump victory and the onslaught of Project 2025, which will replace our democracy with fascist Christian nationalism. One of the many dystopian agendas proposed in Project 2025 is the selloff of federally protected, public land to the highest bidder. Our national parks represent some of the most valuable public land in the nation and will be the first to go. I believe this is what she was implying with the sentence: “A league of people preserved this sliver of coastline, wrested woods from those wanting only profits.” We as a nation must rise up and vote like never before to prevent a Republican victory. Otherwise, democracy, freedom, planet Earth, and everything else we love so much and that made this a great nation will be lost!

Martin Smukler, McKinleyville

‘The Pile Facing Us’

Editor:

There is no burden the democrat regime in Sacramento isn’t willing to dump on suffering California citizens as is the pile facing us this November (“2024 Ballot Measures: What You Need to Know,” July 11). Here is the easy voting card, vote no on all except Proposition 36.

Proposition 2 borrows another $10 billion to “fix leaky roofs.” Vote no. Take some of the over $22,000 per pupil already allocated and save some of it in a special account for construction.

Proposition 3 is a waste of time. Marriage historically has been between a husband and wife.

Proposition 4 — vote no on borrowing yet another $10 billion for political cash giveaways.

Proposition 5 — vote a hard no on making it even easier to raise property taxes to pay for politicians’ vanity projects in local governments.

Proposition 6 would ban prisoners from working while serving time for their crimes. What a ridiculous pile of crap. Vote no.

Proposition 32 would do even more damage to California’s economy by raising the minimum wage, thus raising prices so we can vote again to raise the minimum wage. Vote no.

Proposition 33 — great! Let’s create

another bureaucracy and reduce the amount of available housing? Vote no.

Proposition 34 is a wobbler for me. Vote no.

Proposition 35, and another tax, vote no.

Proposition 36 — finally some sanity. By rolling back the stupidity of changing laws allowing crime to flourish legally in our communities, vote yes

It seems our elected representatives state Sen. McGuire and Assemblyman Wood only represent Gov. Newsom as neither one ever met a tax increase they didn’t like.

Humboldt Lines Up for Free Care

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

• Servicing Humboldt County for over 40 years

• Largest in stock new & used inventory

• Competitive price guarantee

• Delivery and Service after the sale

It’s 6:30 a.m. on July 12 and more than 100 people are lined up below the Carson Mansion on Eureka’s First Street, waiting for the Adorni Center to open at 7. Some are bundled in jackets, while others are draped in blankets. Many sit in lawn chairs they’d brought from home, prepared to wait, while others sit on the sidewalk or stand. Some play cards to pass the time, while others read books or stare at their devices, as others chat idly. All are waiting for dental, medical or vision care, most of it long deferred.

At the front of the line sits Luna Lares and her husband Gilbert, both of McKinleyville, who arrived at 4 a.m., having read about the two-day free clinic in the newspaper.

“I read that folks can start lining up as early as 5:30, so I figured other people were reading that, too, so we should get here early,” says Gilbert Lares.

Gilbert Lares says Luna needs dental work, while he needs a new pair of prescription glasses and also has a tooth that’s come in improperly. He says it’s been bothering him for more than a year and he’s worried it’s now rotting.

“We’ll probably be back tomorrow,” Luna Lares says, noting the clinic only allows folks to access one service per day in an e ort to provide care to as many individuals as possible.

Immediately behind them in line is a woman draped in a bright tortoise print Pendleton blanket named Katie, who declined to give her last name but said she’d left her home in Hoopa around 3 a.m. to make the trip to the clinic, arriving around

4:30. She said learned of the clinic on social media and jumped at the chance to get a broken tooth taken care of, noting she’d been dealing with it — and the heat and cold sensitivity it caused — “for a good while.”

The two-day clinic put on by California CareForce, the charitable arm of the California Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, was the brainchild of semi-retired local dentist Tom Lewis, who serves on the CareForce board and lobbied for the nonprofit to bring one of the four free healthcare clinics it puts on annually to Eureka. Lewis says he’s seen first-hand both the tremendous need locally, and the impact of these clinics, which see CareForce transport millions of dollars in medical equipment and a host of volunteers to communities throughout the state to provide free care, no questions asked.

While not as large as clinics hosted in more urban parts of the state, Eureka’s event served nearly 500 people over two days, says CareForce Executive Director Cyndi Ankiewicz. She credits a small army of volunteers, both local and from out of the area, healthcare professionals and others simply looking to lend a hand, with the clinic’s having been able to treat 222 dental patients, provide 86 medical screenings and serve 217 vision patients, outfitting almost all with new glasses.

“I think the clinic went really well,” she says. “The need is just so incredibly great. I knew the need was great and the host committee was talking about it, but seeing it first-hand was just really heart wrenching. But what was heartwarming is the way

the community came together to do this.”

Ankiewicz says the challenge of rural clinics is that the need is massive due to a lack of local providers, which in turn makes it challenging to find enough trained healthcare professionals to volunteer to sta a clinic to capacity. The group had set up 12 dental care stations in the Adorni Center, for example, but never had more than six dentists volunteering at one time. The vision lab, meanwhile, never had more than two optometrists. Ankiewicz says the clinic was forced to turn some people still waiting in line away at the end of each day due to a lack of capacity.

But she stresses that the only reason the clinic was able to do so much and reach so many was because of the kindness and generosity of its volunteers.

Those included general volunteers like Stan Sha er. While sanitizing equipment in the dental area, Sha er says he’d heard about the clinic from his son and “wanted to give back to the community,” so signed up to help. They also included a handful of people from the local chapter of Medicare for All, who helped out in a variety of capacities, with more than a couple mentioning that clinics like this — which depend on professionals volunteering their time to care for patients who have waited hours to be seen after not having access to care for months or years — are both a testament to generosity and good will and a condemnation of our current medical system.

Local volunteers also included a host of professionals, like dental hygienist Michele Johnson, who says she’s working with the Blue Lake Rancheria to start a primary care

and dental clinic locally and jumped at the chance to “give back” by helping out at the clinic.

“It’s been great,” she says while taking instruments to be sterilized in a rare break between patients. “I had three people today who had never had their teeth cleaned. Ever.”

Over in the optometry lab, Eugene Lee says he’s a regular volunteer with CareForce, having helped out with 50 or so clinics over the years, adding the nonprofit flew him into Humboldt to help manufacture eyeglasses. A consultant in the Newport Beach area, he says vision is one of those things people often take for granted until it begins to fail them or they don’t have access to proper care. But without vision, he says, people can’t navigate the basics of life, like filling out job applications or medical forms.

“To me, that’s what keeps me coming to these,” Lee says.

Across the room a short time later, John Weis, of St. Louis, Missouri, who says he’s been volunteering at these clinics for 12 years, is giving an eye exam to Higinio Nuñez, a U.S. Army veteran who came to the clinic with his daughter, looking to get an updated prescription and new glasses. Nuñez says he qualifies for vision benefits with the VA but would have to travel to San Francisco for an appointment.

After testing with Weis, Nuñez moves on to an exam with local optometrist Paul Domanchuk, who initially passed on volunteering at the clinic because it would mean closing his practice, which treats mostly MediCal patients, for a day but then volunteered to come when nobody else did.

A couple of days after the clinic has wrapped, after volunteers have packed all the medical equipment — including den-

tal chairs, an X-ray station and optometry lab — back into an 18-wheel truck for the return trip to Sacramento, Ankiewicz tells the Journal she’s thankful for the event’s sponsors — including the Humboldt Area Foundation and the county Department of Health and Human Services — that made it possible. But she says she’s especially thankful for all the volunteers, folks from near and far who showed up to do everything from directing traffic to pulling teeth.

“We would not have been able to be there without them,” she says.

A few days earlier, over the din of drills and suction devices in the dental area while the clinic’s first day was in full swing, Lewis removes his mask and smock for a brief break. He says he’s already pulled 15 teeth, and lost count of how many patients he’s seen.

Having been the driving force behind the clinic — first convincing CareForce to come to Humboldt, then helping raise the $75,000 needed to cover the costs of the two-day event, then recruiting local volunteers — Lewis says he’s pleased. He says he’s disappointed they couldn’t get more providers to turn out, though he’s grateful for those who did and still hopeful to make this an annual event.

“I’m smiling,” he says. “I’m really pleased with all the volunteers who came together to make this possible.”

Back in the vision lab, Gilbert Lares is waiting for his new, free glasses. Everything, he says, has gone smoothly.

“I’m happy I came,” he says. l

State Approves Offshore Wind Blueprint

The California Energy Commission unanimously approved a sweeping plan on July 10 to develop a massive floating offshore wind industry in ocean waters — a firstof-its-kind undertaking that will require billions in public and private investments and could transform parts of the coast.

The new state plan sets the path for harnessing wind power from hundreds of giant turbines, each as tall as a 70-story building, floating in the ocean about 20 miles off Humboldt Bay and Morro Bay. The untapped energy is expected to become a major power source as California electrifies vehicles and switches to clean energy.

California’s wind farms represent a giant experiment: No other place in the world has floating wind operations in such deep waters — more than a half-mile deep — so far from shore.

The commission’s July 10 vote came after representatives of various industries, environmentalists, community leaders and others mostly expressed support for offshore wind, although some voiced concerns.

State and federal officials use the word “urgency” to describe the frenetic pace needed to lay the groundwork for development of five areas that the federal government has leased to offshore wind companies.

“I feel the urgency to move forward swiftly,” said energy commissioner Patty Monahan. “The climate crisis is upon us. Offshore wind is a real opportunity for us

to move forward with clean energy.”

She added, though, that the plan “is a starting point … There are a lot of uncertainties about environmental impacts. We need to be clear-eyed and engage the right scientific interests and move carefully.”

The five energy companies are now assessing sites within the 583 square miles, which is expected to take five years. That will be followed by about two years of design, construction and environmental and technical reviews.

Energy Commission Chair David Hochschild recently called it “one of the single most complex processes I’ve been involved with.”

That complexity was reflected in the heft of the strategic plan, which includes three volumes and 500 pages of public comment. The breadth of the document — which involved coordination among 10 state agencies — reflects the sheer size and scope of what’s being envisioned. State officials said offshore wind requires an unprecedented level of planning and policy development in California.

The offshore wind industry must be created almost from scratch: a new manufacturing base for the still-evolving technology; a robust and reliable supply chain; transportation networks on land and sea; specially configured ports to make, assemble and maintain the gargantuan seagoing platforms; finding and training a highly specialized workforce; building a large transmission network where none ex-

ists and beefing up those that operate now. The Energy Commission’s plan estimates that just the work to upgrade California’s ports will cost between $11 billion and $12 billion, much of it publicly funded. The plan identifies the large ports of Humboldt, Long Beach and Los Angeles as viable for storing, staging and assembling parts needed for offshore wind operations.

Some people at the hearing raised concerns about increased activity around major ports, where ships and trucks already create serious air pollution problems that can trigger asthma and heart attacks.

Another pressing challenge is transmission — the complex job of getting the power onshore and distributing it to users. The Humboldt area presents the biggest challenge, the report says, given the rural region’s already sparse transmission network.

Capturing wind energy from giant floating ocean platforms is considered essential to achieving California’s ambitious goal of electrifying its grid with 100 percent zero-carbon energy. The state’s blueprint envisions offshore wind farms producing 25 gigawatts by 2045, powering 25 million homes and providing about 13 percent of California’s electricity.

Powering an expansive economy free of fossil fuels by 2045 means the state must triple its power generation capacity and deploy new solar and wind energy at almost five times the pace of the past decade.

Environmental groups scoured the documents for answers to what have been unanswerable questions about offshore wind’s potential effects on marine life, migrating whales and birds, and the onshore environment.

Even state scientists have publicly noted a “data gap” when it came to understanding

the impact of platforms in the sea, electrified underwater cables, huge spinning blades and increased boat traffic.

To answer those questions, the commission’s plan calls for a broad-based science consortium and a bird and bat conservation strategy, among other topics. Recreational and commercial fishing will be affected, the report says, and that will require continued research, officials say.

Some environmental groups have come to terms with the uneasy tradeoff between the need to address climate change with cleaner energy and the potential harmful impacts that come with any energy development.

Understanding that climate change is contributing to the rapid decline of bird populations means accepting some development, said Mike Lynes, director of public policy for Audubon California. “We want these projects to be successful. But we want to avoid impacts first and mitigate where we can.”

Dan Jacobson, senior adviser to the advocacy group Environment California, said he is becoming comfortable with the unknowns. “But we can’t slow down on the science and information that we need. We have to do things quickly, inexpensively and very smartly. You usually get two out of three of those things. How do we do this so that we cause the least harm and get the most good out of it?”

Jackson Stepping Down at Cal Poly Humboldt

After five years on the job, Cal Poly Humboldt President Tom Jackson Jr. announced July 11 that he will be stepping down from his current post and retreating to a faculty position next month.

The announcement comes after a tumultuous end to the 2023-2024 school year that saw Jackson face calls for his resignation and a no-confidence vote from faculty stemming from his handling of a group of pro-Palestinian demonstrators who occupied Siemens Hall for about a week in late April. Jackson drew public

criticism from students, faculty, staff, community members and civil rights groups for his decision to close campus and then send hundreds of officers to arrest protesters. The president then did not attend the last University Senate meeting of the year, reportedly due to concerns for his personal safety.

But Jackson’s tenure has also seen a huge influx of state resources to the campus, as it transitions into California›s third polytechnic university. While the transition has yet to result in a significant increase in enrollment, it›s projected to double the

school›s student body in the coming years at a time when enrollments are declining in higher education.

“Cal Poly Humboldt is an amazing place with special people,” Jackson said in the release. “I have had the privilege to work alongside scientists and future scientists, teachers and future teachers, artists and future artists, engineers and future engineers, and leaders and future leaders. Like many of you, I wake up every day and remember what a gift I have been given: to have the opportunity to inspire and lead others. Your work makes a positive difference for our

students. Please never forget that.”

After leaving the presidency, Jackson will step into a tenured professor position working with the College of Professional Studies and the College of Extended Education and Global Engagement, according to the release. The California State University Chancellor’s Office will appoint an interim president to lead Cal Poly Humboldt until Jackson’s replacement is hired after a national search, according to the press release.

North

Over the course of about 25 minutes on July 11, North Coast Congressmember Jared Hu man walked the North Coast Journal through what he sees as an increasingly large and urgent part of his job: e orts to warn voters about Project 2025, a conservative roadmap designed to guide the transition to another Trump presidency.

The 900-page document is the brainchild of the Heritage Foundation, a right-wing thinktank, with input from a “broad coalition of conservative organizations” and former Trump administration o cials, and proposes sweeping changes needed to “pave the way for an e ective conservative administration.” Those include everything from doing away with job protections for civil servants to make them political appointees and dissolving the federal Department of Education to placing the entire federal bureaucracy — including independent agencies like the Department of Justice — under direct

presidential control.

“It’s not enough for conservatives to win elections,” the introduction on the Project 2025 website reads. “If we are going to rescue the country from the grip of the radical Left, we need both a governing agenda and the right people in place, ready to carry this agenda out on day one of the next conservative administration.”

The interview with Hu man took place as Republicans prepared for their national convention, which began July 15 with Donald Trump announcing Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance as his running mate, and as consternation continued among high-level Democrats over whether President Joe Biden should continue on as the party’s nominee after what many consider a disastrous June 27 debate performance. Then, two days after Hu man’s conversation with the Journal, Trump was wounded in an assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, with a bullet reportedly grazing his ear.

Hu man took to social media shortly

after the shooting, which ended with the would-be-assassin shot dead by Secret Service agents and Trump safely whisked from the scene, to decry the act of violence as “sickening.”

“Breaking news that someone shot and injured Donald Trump is terrible and sickening,” Hu man wrote in the post.

“All of us, regardless of our politics, must condemn and work to end the scourge of political violence. It is NEVER justified, NEVER OK. I wish the former President a full and swift recovery.”

In the week prior to the attempted assassination and the opening of the Republican National Convention, Trump issued a statement on social media distancing himself from Project 2025. While the document has been posted online for months, it had drawn increasing scrutiny in recent weeks, in part due to an ad hoc Congressional task force launched by Hu man to raise the alarm about its contents.

“I know nothing about Project 2025,” Trump wrote in the post. “I have not seen

it, have no idea who is in charge of it, and, unlike our very well received Republican platform, had nothing to do with it. I disagree with some of the things they’re saying and some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal. Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them.”

While Trump’s level of direct involvement is unclear, six of his former cabinet secretaries collaborated on the document, reportedly along with more than 100 people who worked in his administration. Trump has repeatedly praised the work of the Heritage Foundation, which is also sponsoring the Republican National Convention. (Russell Vought, a Trump administration o cial, also wrote a chapter of the document before serving as the Republican National Committee’s platform policy director, so the overlap between the document, people in Trump’s orbit and the Republican party as a whole is significant.)

Continued on next page »

Coast Congressmember Jared Hu man, pictured here at an event in his district, has formed an ad hoc Congressional task force to raise awareness of what he sees as the dangers of Project 2025. Submitted

The Project 2025 document is designed as a kind of roadmap to enacting a conservative political agenda and eliminating some of the guard rails on presidential power. It includes everything from specific policy priorities — like pulling the abortion pill off the market, banning pornography, eliminating immigration visa categories for crime and human trafficking victims (while allowing the fast-tracking of applications for migrants who pay a premium fee) and replacing carbon-reduction goals in federal law with efforts to increase domestic energy production. The document also would strike a long list of terms from all federal laws and regulations, including “sexual orientation,” “abortion,” “reproductive rights” and “gender equality” as a part of what it describes as an effort to combat “woke” ideology.

The document also includes a database of potential federal employees and appointees whose credentials and political beliefs have been vetted by the document’s authors.

In his interview with the Journal, Huffman talks about the document, its authors and what his Stop Project 2025 Task Force is doing to make them a central issue in the campaign for the White House. He

also talks briefly about the calls from some in his party for Biden to step aside as its nominee, which he expounded upon in a social media post a couple days after the interview, offering some insight into a meeting the Congressional Progressive Caucus had with the president on the subject.

“Since I was fortunate enough to ask one of the questions and speak directly with the president, I can share in general terms what I asked and how he responded,” Huffman wrote in the July 12 post, noting his question centered around Biden’s comments that he would step aside if the “lord almighty” came down and told him to. “… My question was about whether some combination of his advisors, family or his own famous tenacity is preventing him from objectively assessing damage from the debate and the current trajectory of the race. And specifically since we cannot produce Lord Almighty to advise him, if he would consider the best earthly alternative I could think of: meeting with former Presidents Obama and Clinton, Dem Leaders Jeffries and Schumer, and Speaker Emerita Pelosi, to seek their advice. And finally in the interest of defeating Trump and saving

democracy if they advised him to pass the torch, would he take their advice. That was my question. I won’t get into the back and forth, but suffice to say the President disagreed with the notion that we are on a losing trajectory. He believes the polls show him either tied or winning, and that polls are unreliable. As for the Lord Almighty workaround I proposed, I felt his answer was mostly a deflection — he said he has met previously and extensively with all of them before, which clearly referred to previous meetings and not the one I was suggesting. The rest of his answer was unclear as to whether he’d take such advice if he got it. He did express some willingness to listen to anyone who can prove there’s no way he can win, but it struck me as a standard of persuasion higher than anyone — even my suggested luminaries — could meet even if they tried. I came away grateful for the exchange but not very satisfied with the answer. I continue to believe a major course correction is needed, and that the President and his team have yet to fully acknowledge the problem, much less correct it.”

The following is a full transcript of the Journal’s July 11 interview with Huffman, lightly edited for clarity.

North Coast Journal: Hello Congressman, how are you?

Jared Huffman: I’m good, thanks. NCJ: Thank you for making the time today. I appreciate it.

Huffman: Sure. I am at your service. NCJ: To start out, I’m curious to get your kind of Reader’s Digest pitch for someone who to date is unaware of Project 2025 of why it’s so prominently on your radar and a point of such concern.

Huffman. Absolutely. Well, the short explanation is Project 2025 is 920 pages of crazy that you have to take deadly seriously.

NCJ: That is very succinct.

Huffman: The more extended explanation is that this is a very specific and very extreme blueprint for destroying our democratic institutions, consolidating unprecedented power in the president, which they hope to be Trump, and imposing a dystopic social order that strips away individual rights and freedoms.

NCJ: I want to hone in on the second part of your very succinct initial statement. Why does this need to be taken deadly serious? Obviously, a lot of these sentiments and goals have been out there in conservative circles, in Heritage Foun-

dation circles, for a long time at this point. What brings an acute urgency to this situation in this moment in time?

Huffman: So this is a lot more than just a thinktank spitballing ideas. This is more than 100 leading right-wing groups, including hate groups, who have aligned behind this and it’s been written by the highest levels of Donald Trump’s inner circle. In their words, they’re calling it their war plan for a second Trump presidency. They’re not talking about this as a hypothetical, they are guaranteeing that this is what they’re going to do. So this is unlike anything we’ve ever seen. We’ve never had such an explicit preview, and we’ve certainly never had one this extreme. And the reason you have to take it seriously is that many of these things were tried by Donald Trump in his first presidency but he was unsuccessful. There were people and institutions and rules that stood in his way, from the independence of certain agencies like the Department of Justice to the experienced and sober-minded chiefs of staff and cabinet officials in some cases that he had around him to prevent his worst impulses, to ultimately Mike Pence, who upheld his oath of office and refused to be part of a coup. Project 2025 strips all of that away.

NCJ: In that sense, do you feel like this

is, for lack of a better term, a course correction from Trump’s first term, that this is building on lessons learned?

Huffman: Yes, this is unfinished business and then some. And Donald Trump himself has been very explicit about this but certainly the Project 2025 folks talk a lot about it, that he has to populate the government with people who will do what he wants, and so that’s why they’re proposing to gut the federal workforce, eliminating essentially the civil service system. Mass firings, tens of thousands of people fired if they’ve had anything to do with [Diversity, Equity and Inclusion] policies, or if they’re suspicious or disloyal to Trump in any way — they’re gone — and then they’re developing what they’re calling their army — their 2025 Army — which is a database of vetted Trump loyalists who will then repopulate all of these federal agencies.

NCJ: Especially in the last week or so, Trump has made comments distancing himself from this effort. Do you believe that? And more importantly, does that do anything to ameliorate your concerns?

Huffman: It’s laughable. But it does tell you that they’re beginning to be afraid of the spotlight on Project 2025. Because as people learn about it, they want nothing

North Coast Congressmember Jared Huffman, second from right, says Project 2025 would strip the presidency of historic guardrails. Submitted

to do with it.

NCJ: The fear part is interesting because nothing about Project 2025 has been hidden. It’s been a pretty brazen public roadmap.

Hu man: It’s remarkable. They’ve spent the last year swaggering and openly claiming this is their war plan, ‘This is what we’re going to do.’ The public arrogance they’ve displayed, I mean, boasting of how close they are to Donald Trump and his campaign, and how embedded they’re going to be in a second Trump presidency. And all of a sudden, they realize that was probably a dumb idea, and they’re trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube.

NCJ: Do you think that’s just a correction or did something shift in the politics surrounding this?

Hu man: Oh no, this is just sort of realizing their hubris is backfiring.

NCJ: I want to shift to the working group you’re a part of. Is this mostly an e ort to raise awareness about Project 2025 or are there action elements to this task force?

Hu man: It’s both, for sure. But the most important action that we’ve undertaken is to bring Project 2025 out of the shadows and make sure that more than just 12 percent of the American people

have heard about it and understand it. The polling showed that two months ago just 12 percent of the people had heard about it. We wanted to make sure that something closer to 100 percent of the American people have heard about it, and also because it was so largely unknown, we have a chance to explain it and define it for people in a way that will be meaningful to them. We’re going to explain what it’s going to do to their lives. And in this regard, we’ve just been wildly successful in the last couple of months. We went basically from nowhere to last week, when Project 2025 surpassed Taylor Swift as the most talked about thing on the internet. So yeah, it’s going pretty well.

NCJ: And I imagine you draw some connections between Trump distancing himself from this e ort in the last week, as we just talked about, and this e ort at raising awareness getting a foothold?

Hu man: Oh yeah. They understand that Americans learning about this toxic plan is not good for them. But they’ve got a record from the last year that they can’t run away from. And just obvious facts they can’t run away from. Trump’s super PAC has been out there promoting Project 2025. They’ve got a website, trumpproject2025.com. The Heritage

is sponsoring the Republican National Convention, which is starting on Monday. And on Monday, they’re going to have a Heritage teach-in for the delegates about Project 2025. So to suddenly try to pretend there’s no connection? I mean, the guy Trump tapped to write the Republican platform is an author of Project 2025. These things are one and the same, and no one seriously believes Donald Trump when he says, ‘I know nothing about it.’ But even if you take that statement he put out, read the second sentence. He’s such a sloppy liar he then goes on to say, ‘I disagree with parts of it.’ How do you know nothing about it while disagreeing with parts of it?

NCJ: OK, so that’s the education and awareness component. Is there an action component of things you can do now in Congress to try to safeguard against Project 2025 should Trump come into o ce? What are those things? What does that look like?

Hu man: The first of those is beginning to catch our Republican colleagues in the act of Project 2025 right now. In some respects, you don’t have to wait until November to see if this agenda goes forward because we have Republican colleagues moving parts of it forward every day, so in our various committees we are starting to call them out. I did it yesterday in the Natural Resources Committee, where they were kind of piggybacking on the Supreme Court’s Chevron deference decision to advance all of this stu that strips away regulatory authority on fish and wildlife, and advances their industry-friendly agenda. That’s right out of the Project 2025 playbook.

Over in the Appropriations Committee, I have colleagues that are calling them out now for the di erent ways they’re trying to defund certain programs and certain agencies right out of the Project 2025 playbook. And you’re going to see more and more of that, Democrats in Congress calling out these Project 2025 implementation actions that have already started. There’s another even more sinister way they’re doing it. Donald Trump is out there promising revenge and retribution and

even violence for his political enemies. Project 2025 is very aligned with that and it would kind of weaponize the Department of Justice and kind of turn it into a legal enforcement arm of the presidency. Then you give him this absolute immunity gift that the U.S. Supreme Court just handed to him. Well, he now has this friend of Mike Flynn running around calling himself the ‘Trump secretary of retribution.’ And he has this list of over 300 political enemies that he hopes to work with vigilantes and connotational county sheri s to just round up and detain and take retribution against as soon as Trump is in o ce. So this stu is very real, it’s deadly serious and some of it is starting to happen already.

NCJ: I’m also hoping you can give me a little insight into just the origin story of this task force. Obviously, Project 2025 has been a source of concern for some for some time, but how did the e ort to come up with an o cial body to combat it come about?

Hu man: Well, this was an idea I had after a briefing by some outside groups that had been doing a deep dive into Project 2025, it was the ACLU, the Center for American Progress and a few others, and the more I learned about the way the different parts of it kind of linked together, especially with this radical Supreme Court and its agenda and some of the decisions that were starting to come down, and the things that Donald Trump was promising, I became su ciently concerned that Congress wasn’t talking about this enough, that the American people weren’t hearing about this enough.

And so I had this idea for essentially an ad hoc task force — I thought I would just grab a few of my colleagues from the di erent caucuses you would think would care about this, like the Hispanic Caucus, the Black Caucus, the Progressive Caucus and the New Dems. There’re parts of Project 2025 that are really upsetting to the whole spectrum, really, of politics on the Democratic side. And everybody just said, ‘Yes, let’s do this.’ And pretty soon, as I’m talking to you today, we’ve got more than two dozen members on the task force and I have people coming to me daily wanting on.

NCJ: Has that involved or necessitated an education component for members of Congress or did you find that most members approached were already well aware of this?

Hu man: They know a little bit about it but we’re taking them deeper. The first meeting that we had was on messaging, where we went over a bunch of recent polling so we know where we’re starting Continued on next page »

Continued from previous page

from, what people understand about it, what are the descriptions of it that resonate the best. That was really important. Then we’re taking di erent parts of it.

Today, we’re having a deep dive on the authoritarian threats to democracy, and that’s being led by Jamie Raskin and Dan Goldman, and they’re bringing in some top attorneys and experts to walk members through that. We had one on what it means for the safety net of government and for labor protections and other things with some experts last week. And we’re going to have one on women’s reproductive choice and marriage equality. I’m going to lead on one that involves church state separation and this Christian nationalist agenda that’s really throughout Project 2025. And we’re just going to do all of these deep dives.

We’ll probably only have opportunities to explain it at a very high level to people. When we do our media hits, when we do our interviews, you’re not really going to have a chance to really wonk out about civil service reform or the impoundment act, or some of these more technical and obscure details. We’ll hopefully develop crisp messages to meet those needs, but we also need members of congress to be experts on the deeper implications of it, and that’s what we’re trying to do.

NCJ: When you say there’s a need for members of Congress to be experts on the deeper implications, is that simply for the messaging e ort or is that to be prepared in case next steps need to be taken with a change in administration?

the Biden campaign and the Democratic National Committee, they’re all talking about it. And cable TV is talking about it. I’m really pleased that the conversation is happening and I think we will continue to add a lot of value to that.

NCJ: Squarely on Project 2025, I think that’s the ground I was looking to cover with you. Is there anything that we haven’t touched on that you want to stress or make sure I’m aware of?

Hu man: No. I appreciate your interest in the subject and I bet you’ve got a lot of readers interested in it, too. I’m surprised every day when I hear how many people are asking about it.

NCJ: Congressman, I’d be remiss if I didn’t ask: I saw your comments regarding the Biden campaign over the last couple days, just kind of laying out a timeline that you feel a decision should made within and kind of validating some of the concerns of others, but not really wading into sharing a firm opinion of what you think should be done there.

Hu man: That’s fair. Look, I’m not going to gaslight anyone about this. I’ve tried to be real candid about my concerns, and I’ve tried to explain it in the context of this election that we have to win for all the reasons we’ve been talking about with Project 2025. This is it. This is the big one. It could be the last free and fair election we ever have if we get it wrong. I believe that. And I’ve also kept some of my powder dry because the ultimate decision is President Biden’s, not mine, and the best I can do is just kind of share my opinions and, with a little bit of humility, try to steer things toward success. So that’s what I’m trying to do, mostly behind the scenes, where I’ve been very active in these conversations back here in Washington … I think all I can say is stay tuned, because this is still very fluid.

Hu man: It’s both. It’s also so that we can begin to identify as we do our committee work when our Republican colleagues are already starting to push the Project 2025 agenda. But it’s absolutely with the future in mind because regardless of what happens in this election, this right-wing blueprint is not going away. It’ll be rebranded as Project 2029 and they’ll come back again. So we’ve got work to do here and I think the task force that we created has really gotten the ball rolling.

The success that we’ve had has been so quick and so significant that we’ve sort of been absorbed up onto the mother ship.

I had a meeting this morning with [House Minority] Leader Hakeem Je ries and our caucus leadership very much wants to embrace this and adopt it. Our Democratic messaging arm, the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee, is now fully partnering with our task force and kind of doing some of its own initiatives. So this went from being a little ad hoc thing to being probably the central closing argument that you’re going to hear Democrats make in the next 100 days. And I’ve seen

NCJ: I appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us, and I imagine one way or another that’s a subject we will continue to revisit with you.

Hu man: Could be tonight — there’s a huge press conference coming up in a few hours. Could be a few days from now. But yes, this is all very fluid and you certainly haven’t heard the last of it.

More than a Farmstand

By Simona Carini onthetable@northcoastjournal.com

The first time I drove along Hiller Road looking for the Sea Goat Farmstand (1450 Hiller Road), finally parking near its sign, what I saw reminded me of a fireworks booth, one of the plywood structures that seem to materialize overnight in the days leading up to the Fourth of July. Upon approaching it, I saw fresh produce neatly arranged in the space.

At the beginning, the farmstand was open only on Saturday. In time, it expanded in days of operation (currently Tuesday through Saturday), space (with a co ee shop and store in the adjacent building), and variety of local produce and products (food and non-food) o ered.

How about adding some sourdough bread to the salad ingredients you put in your basket? Would you like fresh eggs, microgreens, cheese? And what do you say to a cup of co ee and a pastry while you check your shopping list to make sure you bought all you need? If said shopping list includes a gift for someone (or for yourself), you can peruse the store shelves and probably check o that item as well.

As I took advantage of the farmstand’s expanding o erings, I grew curious about its history, so one lovely spring afternoon, I sat down with Program Director Megan Blumenstein and asked her some questions. Light streamed from the garden area into the store and the room adjacent to it, which, since last September, houses the Makers’ Space, educational extension of the farm, where local artists (whose work is available in the store) teach adults and children skills from piecing together mosaics to botanical printing, to ceramics.

Blumenstein grew up in Wisconsin, obtained a degree in agroecology and environmental education, and became interested in sustainable food production.

In Humboldt, she volunteered for two seasons with Stan Schmidt, who worked on and managed the garden next to the Abbey of the Redwoods for 18 years. In total, the 1/3-acre plot of row crops and orchard has been producing for some 35 years. This year she added a /3-acre strawberry patch.

Four years ago, Blumenstein refurbished a fireworks booth and turned it into a farmstand, inaugurated on April 1, 2020, and initially open only on Saturday. The demand for produce outgrew the supply from the garden, so the farmstand has evolved into a hub for a long list of local farmers.

Blumenstein’s goal of expanding access to locally grown, healthy foods, making them more accessible to the community is behind Sea Goat’s Produce Box program. Subscribers order a small, medium or large box of produce on a weekly basis, or as a 12-week subscription. Details about the size, content and pick-up are available at seagoatfarmstand.org.

I brought our conversation to a close with a question about her favorite crops to grow. Spinach, carrots and lettuce grow well in the garden and are favorites with her — tasty, nutritious and versatile. Having some handy will ensure a salad, side dish or soup on the table.

Here are a couple of her recipe suggestions.

• Blanch spinach in salt water, then sauté garlic and spinach in olive oil. Add eggs

sunny side up for a complete dish.

• Carrot ginger soup is a classic that never goes out of fashion.

• French-style carrots: Steam carrots, then sauté in butter with a bit of honey and lots of fresh thyme leaves.

The combination of carrots and thyme in the latter is a big favorite of mine; I plan to devote an article to it in the near future.

Back to the firework booth: It’s been recently painted a bright blueberry blue. And the strawberry patch is bearing fruit, which is another reason, should you still need one, to visit the Sea Goat Farmstand.

The Abbey of the Redwoods’ Sea Goat Farmstand is open Saturday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Tuesday through Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. If you are interested in volunteering, contact Megan Blumenstein at seagoatfarmstand@gmail.com.

Summer Survival in the Garden

By Julia Graham-Whitt downanddirty@northcoastjournal.com

Well, we survived the first major heat wave of the year, or at least my garden did — barely. And I’m on the coast. Inland, it was a whole different story. I hope all your crops and ornamental plants survived.

Because this likely isn’t a “one and done” event, here are some tips to keep your garden (and you) cool during the summer.

Mulch is your friend. No matter the plant, whether veggies, fruit trees, shrubberies or flowers, they all appreciate having cool roots. Which mulch you use is up to you. I’m a fan of the shredded redwood bark, as well as microbark, though woodchips will do as well. If you’re mulching an area that tends to get weedy, put down a thick layer of newspaper or cardboard before applying the mulch. Remember to keep the mulch away from the stems of the plants or else it could hasten rot. Think donut, not volcano.

You can purchase mulch at your local garden center or at one of the landscaping supply companies in the county. You can also get woodchips at some of the many piles that tree companies dump on the side of the road. There’s a spot off State Route 299, as well as an area up near Trinidad. Many tree companies will bring a load of woody debris to your place if you call them. But be warned, they may drop upwards of 10 yards of mulch. It’s also important to find out what sort of tree debris is in the load, as there are

a few trees that can cause problems with your garden, leaching allelochemicals into the soil, which can kill nearby vegetation. A few to avoid include black walnut, tree of heaven, magnolia and eucalyptus.

Mulch will eventually break down into the soil, providing nutrients for the plants and earthworms, so you’ll need to reapply every year or so.

Watering when it’s going to be very hot is a good idea but not in the heat of the day. Ideally, watering early in the morning will allow the water to leach into the soil before it evaporates in peak temperatures. Late evening is an OK time to water, though morning is preferable. Do not overhead water if you can help it. Upwards of 20-25 percent of water can be lost to evaporation if you water during the day. Drip or soaker hoses are much more efficient, as they put water only where it’s needed. Overhead watering can also cause problems with some plants, such as squashes. Due to our high humidity, they can develop powdery mildew on the leaves. Stick with drip or soaker hoses if you can. If you only have plants in pots, just be careful when watering them so as to not get water on the leaves. Potted plants also generally need more water than plants in the ground due to drying out more quickly.

It’s also possible to overwater, especially potted plants. If they start to turn yellow, it may be due to too much water. Some plants, such as lemon trees and camelias, turn yellow from iron deficiency, also known as chlorosis. A good citrus fertilizer can get the iron balance back into shape.

Now that you have a basic idea of how to keep your plants from expiring in too much heat, let’s move on to what you should be looking for in your garden.

Garlic. You’ve checked your garlic, right? If you haven’t, now is the time to do so. If you have hardneck garlic, it should have put out scapes by now, and you definitely want to snap them off so the energy goes into the bulb(s), not the flower stalk. Garlic scapes can be used, you know. Cut off the woody part, then dice finely and sauté in some olive oil and add to stir fries, eggs or any dish that can use a little garlic. When the lower two leaves on the stalk turn brown and the tips of the leaves turn yellow, it’s usually time to harvest. Not sure if they’re ready? Dig a couple up and look. Make sure you cure the garlic before putting it into storage. It can rot if you don’t take this step. Place garlic in an airy spot out of direct sunlight. After about two weeks, sometimes up to four, the papers on the outside of the garlic will have dried out and

you can put it in storage, or braid it if you’re feeling adventurous (and if you have softneck garlic — hardneck won’t cooperate).

After you’ve harvested the garlic, now what? Put in a fall crop! Amend the soil a bit with some quality compost and a basic 4-4-4 fertilizer so that the crops get a good start. Crops to plant after your garlic is harvested includes brassicas (kale, broccoli, cabbage, etc.), carrots, beets, spinach and peas, among others.

It’s also a good time to prune your flowering shrubs, right after the bloom is finished. “Prune after bloom” is the general rule. I’ve seen some folks prune right before the blooming period, which will take off all the blooms for next year. Don’t do that. Deadheading flowers is another good garden task right now. Roses will even put out more blooms if you deadhead them, as will sweet peas.

And finally, if and when we get another hot spell, make sure you put on your sunscreen, wear a hat and stay hydrated before heading out to the garden or yard. Save the refreshing adult beverages for later in the day. l

Ain’t Misbehavin’

By Collin Yeo music@northcoastjournal.com

Despite last week’s wild news cycle, you will not be getting any political talk from me now. I stand by my words from a few weeks ago, before the debate, that because we are all locally removed from national electoral culpability, we are free to chase our own winds, fair or foul. I’ll even go a step further and do something rare (for me) and quote the words of Arthur Schopenhauer: “The art of not reading is a very important one. It consists in not taking an interest in whatever may be engaging the attention of the general public at any particular time. When some political or ecclesiastical pamphlet, or novel, or poem is making a great commotion, you should remember that he who writes for fools always finds a large public. A precondition for reading good books is not reading bad ones: for life is short.”

None of this absolves us of responsibility. Quite the opposite; it allows us to focus the aperture of our attention where it really matters, among our own community. You can do a lot of good in this world without leaving your home turf or watching the national news. If you get troubled by something bigger than you feel you can handle, remember television isn’t real, and our corporate media runs on spectacle to obscure the massive crimes and violence of its beneficiary class. If you feel the gravity pull toward some incendiary celestial monster on the page or screen — especially those little phone screens — relax, it’s only a paper moon. Walk outside, look up and check out the real deal as it waxes toward full this Sunday. We’ve all been living through an awful slog of disruption and steady chaotic incidents for some time, but nothing compels

any of us to order the focus of our lives around that shit. Your life, possibly your one and only, or possibly revolving eternally again and again, very likely something far different and inconceivable to humans, is still yours, more than anything else, anyway. Share it wisely, with love. Have a great week.

Thursday

The Humboldt Folklife Festival rolls on toward its conclusion in a couple of days with another evening in the amphitheater. Tonight’s theme is “Bluegrass and Beyond,” with performances by Ruby Ruth and Mule Ranch, Elderberry Rust and Cadillac Ranch. The bands play in that order, with a 6 p.m. start time and $10 admission price, minus two bucks if you are a member of the Humboldt Folklife Society.

Friday

Jazz heroes tend to burn bright and fast like John Coltrane, or bloom and curl out, evolving in stages over many decades like Sonny Rollins. Yusef Lateef was in the latter camp, with a music career that saw him shifting from a tenor sax and flute player in the world of established jazz norms to training as a composer and learning a squadron of instruments from many cultures to realize his vision of creating syncretic human music from around the globe. It was “world music” years before the genre was named and formalized. With Lateef, many things were possible, and new possibilities expanded from the living tree of jazz. If you like the sound of that, you’re in for a treat tonight, as some of our best players are interpreting his work, with the quartet

RLAD tapping roots for trumpeter Nicholas Talvola, trombonist Brian White and flute/sax player Gary Lewis. It all goes down at Trinidad Town Hall at 7:30 p.m., with tickets running a sliding scale $10$20. Do not miss out.

Saturday

Two interesting but disparate shows are happening tonight, one in Arcata at 7 p.m., the other in Blue Lake two hours later, and so with a nod to chronology, let’s go. At Outer Space it’s a three-pronged affair, with Sacramento alt-rock band Quinine representing the road dogs, with local color provided by ambient act Blub and synth jazz duo Moosejaw. All-ages, $5-$10 sliding scale.

Later on, the scorching outlaw country of Barnfire is on tap at the Logger Bar, historically a great venue for this band, and a good way to say farewell to the Folklife Festival in style. No cover.

Sunday

It’s a fine afternoon to go check out the music scene at the Fieldbrook Winery. Today’s players are Celtic, world, and folk guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Seabury Gould, who will be joined by fiddler Evan Morden. The tunes start at noon and are free, with an understanding that refreshments are available for purchase, and a note from me to tip the musicians if possible.

Monday

It’s 7 p.m. on Monday night at Savage Henry Comedy Club, which means another installment of — thunderclap, sword slash, scream and evisceration sounds — Metal Monday. Tonight’s road band is a

grindcore act from Michigan called Cloud Rat, with local support from Malicious Algorithm, The Groomers, Kolonizer and Pruritus Ani. If you don’t understand basic medical Latin, try to scratch that last name out for yourself. All-ages, as always, with a sliding scale $5-$15 to get inside.

Tuesday

Matchess is the nom de stage of Whitney Johnson, and also the name of a trio she leads to play her compositions, which are fairly abstract soundwaves of musical glossolalia and deep-brain somnambulant exploration. I listened to the Drag City artist’s latest offering and found myself wondering if I had somehow slid a cold fusion coil into my cerebellum, but in a pleasant way. They will be doing this sort of thing at the Miniplex tonight at 8:30 p.m. for a door price of $15, $10 if you pay in advance. IDYL, the solo project of Dan K from Black Plate, will be doing something pretty amazing, too.

Wednesday

Speaking of the Miniplex, it’s a good time to remind everyone of Big Mood, the weekly queer dance party curated by DJ Pandemonium Jones. The fun starts at 8 p.m., it’s free to get in and this boy knows his stuff when it comes to grooving on wax tracks made to melt your candle and spin your flames.

l

Collin Yeo (he/him) can think of a lot of things from 1981 he’d rather see return than last week’s mess. Post-punk tapes with instrumental B-sides, for instance. He lives in Arcata.

The Nightmarish Enchantment of Longlegs

By John J. Bennett screens@northcoastjournal.com

LONGLEGS. Uncharacteristically, I experienced little-to-no creeping cynicism before, during or after my time with Longlegs. As I walked into the theater, one of the staff suggested that I should approach the movie without expectations, mostly because its marketing campaign threatens to overshadow the very thing it is intended to promote. Not too much to worry about on that score, as I strive to live under a rock as much as possible and had thereby experienced literally nothing that would lead me to any preconceptions. Aside from the notable presence of Nic Cage in the cast, of course, but that in and of itself is enough to stymie any attempts at premature judgment.

While I may have taken that friendly advice lightly (perhaps dismissively), I would, in the course of experiencing the thing, come to understand that it is a work of elevated modern horror that, with some minor exceptions, does indeed confound simple or reductive description. And, in a heartening turn, it seems to be a modest box office hit, even amid the movie-nerds’ wailing and gnashing of teeth about the impending end of the movie business.

Written and directed by Osgood “Oz” Perkins, whose (in)famous father Anthony did as much for his type of cinema as anybody (to borrow a phrase from Waylon Jennings), Longlegs stands proudly among the work of a small group of creatives of a certain age — I’m thinking of Grant Singer’s Reptile (2023), all of Jordan Peele’s movies to date and especially Zach Cregger’s Barbarian (2022) — that can synthesize and reference both cinematic technique and genre storytelling in an academic but also entertaining way to produce movies that, in acknowledging their origins, can and do feel new and original.

Longlegs, as didactic and self-aware as it is atmospheric and perversely enchanting, represents a real amalgam of narrative, layering influences and plot threads and American mythology into a deceptively beguiling nightmare vision of life just below the surface of the suburbs (so there’s some Lynch in there).

Set in the mid-1990s and, with an inge-

nious visual method, flashing back decades before, the story centers on Lee Harker (Maika Monroe), a young, tenacious and perhaps preternaturally intuitive FBI agent in rural Oregon. Following a disturbing door-knocking incident with her partner, Harker is selected by Agent Carter (Blair Underwood) to join a task force investigating a series of killings wherein a father or mother was compelled by unseen forces to murder their family. Stretching back to the 1960s, the horrific incidents are connected by a series of cryptograms with the titular signature.

Already sleep-deprived, haunted by unknown specters, struggling to maintain a relationship with her shut-in mother (Alicia Witt), Harker throws herself into the investigation, deciphering Longlegs’ missive with shocking alacrity and discovering connections and commonalities among the victims that have eluded the rest of the bureau. But she also seems to be harboring secrets — seems to be, until we learn that she most certainly is — and maybe even an intimate knowledge of the killer, or at least the métier thereof.

I’ve seen reference, subsequent to my viewing, to this being a new Silence of the Lambs, or something equally dismissive. And in fairness, I suppose there are structural parallels: young, troubled FBI agent, wild-as-hell nemesis, murders. But, as ever, I generally find such comparisons problematic both in their lack of intellectual exploration and in the unavoidable predisposition they create. In this case, particularly because the earlier film was such a cultural phenomenon, it can’t but force a comparison and familiarity that may or may not (it’s not) be fair to either work. Silence of the Lambs, like it or not, is an operatic actor’s exercise. Grandiosity becomes its brand of subtlety, the whole thing so elevated in performance and style that we, as audience, almost have to accept its reality.

In Longlegs, Perkins constantly exercises his own aesthetic methodology, moving the camera so constantly and gradually that we feel as unmoored and driven toward something terrible as our protagonist. The exteriors are photographed with the

Just trying to figure out how we arrived in our current political hellscape. Longlegs

grandeur and menace I’ve only experienced in Pacific Northwest winters, when the sky seems as boundless as it does restrictive. And against this canvas, Monroe gives a jittery, self-assured performance of trauma survived, of innocence confronting evil, that remains unshakable. I’ll refrain from describing Cage aside from saying that this part, like a number of his recent ones, is an indelible addition to the canon.

The climax and resolution of the story lean into some tropes that, for younger viewers, will not seem familiar. While certain elements struck me as perhaps too-convenient, I wouldn’t go so far as to call them hackneyed, if only because they haven’t been leant on in modern movies for a number of decades. And really, if my only complaint is that certain narrative elements stir echoes in my memory, I should probably just shut up about it. R. 101 M. BROADWAY. MILL CREEK. l

Washed Up Love

By Mike Kelly washedup@northcoastjournal.com

I’ve noticed less love on Humboldt County’s beaches than on beaches elsewhere. And I think I have some ideas about why.

But our beaches do become home to some of the love people make. Some of this love is toxic. And some love entangles, chokes and smothers. But some love is fun! Fun love is what this story is about. Wait ... was I saying “love” when I meant “garbage?” Oh well. I’m too lazy to go back and clean up my mess, so I hope you’ve understood so far.

Anyway, for example, some islands in the Southern Caribbean are downwind of large populations in Amazonia. The mainlanders lose garbage to the rivers and sea, and it blows toward the islands and accumulates on windward beaches, where locals have to deal with it. So, we are lucky we don’t live close to any major population centers that handle garbage poorly.

However, much of our beach garbage does originate in far-off lands, providing fun geography lessons. In addition to the familiar U.S. brands, I’ve found garbage labeled in Italian, German, French and several Asian languages. In fact, on a recent day I picked up 10 plastic bottles — four were Chinese, two were Korean and one was Japanese.

Exotic beach garbage is often grouped when it comes. (Good thing I didn’t say “love” that time!) I don’t know if eddies spin off the Great Pacific Garbage Patch during storms or what, but different types of garbage from different countries sometimes wash up together. So, keep searching if you find a plastic fishing float from Taiwan near a bottle with Indonesian writing.

Washed-up toys are naturally fun finds because they are toys, plus they aren’t currently choking a sea turtle to death. Little cars, dismembered action figures and sandcastle gear are common. Washed-up dolls always look like scenes from horror movies. And two-thirds of washed-up plastic dinosaurs are stegosauruses. (Sample size of three, with one triceratops.)

Fun garbage can be decorative or reusable. So far, I’ve recovered a fence-full of colorful crab trap buoys, various reusable fishing and boating gear, two glass fishing floats (and a lot of plastic ones), lots of pretty sea glass, a few vintage glass bottles and four full cans of beer (that I reused and recycled). My dogs have reused plenty of tennis balls. And I reused a Greg Noll Longboard Classic T-shirt, but no beached undergarments. (See a fun slideshow of international sea trash at northcoastjournal.com.)

I found a message in a bottle that had been tossed into Humboldt Bay two weeks previously. It had spelling and grammatical errors, but it essentially said, “If you are reading this, get a life.” So, I got trolled by a message in a bottle.

Once I thought I saw a washed-up great white shark in the distance. But it turned out to be a folded mattress. It’s fun to think that a honeymoon couple on a cruise ship in rough seas went FOOP! — right off the verandah. They went from making love to making garbage.

Another reason there’s relatively little garbage on our local beaches is undoubtedly the beach clean-up efforts promoted by various groups and agencies, such as Surfrider and California State Parks. And the California Coastal Commission promotes an annual Coastal Clean-up Day on the third Saturday of September. Mark your calendars.

And a beach cleanup is a great way to meet like-minded garbage-hating, beach-loving individuals. If you are seeking that special someone, maybe check the Coastal Commission’s website and find a group to meet up with. You just might find the garbage of your life. Wait … I mean the love of your life! l

Biologist Mike Kelly (he/him) is also the author of the book Tigerfish: Traditional and Sport Fishing on the Niger River, Mali, West Africa. It’s available at Amazon or everywhere e-books are sold. Washed up dolls are always horrormovie creepy.

1. Each director shall receive the amount of $260.00 per day for each day’s attendance at meetings of the Board or for each day’s service rendered as a member of the Board by request of the Board of Directors.

7/18,7/25,8/1/2024(24−250)

2. The Secretary/Treasurer position shall receive the additional amount of $53.00 per day of service for the additional duties and obligations that are required of that position. Any Director fulfilling the obligations of the Secretary/Treasurer position (in the absence of the Secretary/Treasurer), shall be entitled to this additional compensation;

3. The compensation described in paragraph 1 hereof shall be paid for no more than ten (10) days in each calendar month;

4. The Board of Directors recognizes that due to the geographic isolation of the District and problems inherent with transportation from the District to other areas, when the Board requests a member to provide service to the District outside of the local area (for example, to attend a meeting in Sacramento as a representative of the District), a substantial commitment of travel time may be required. Therefore, when the Board requests a member to render services to the District outside of Humboldt County, the compensation shall include reasonable time for travel at the rates set forth above;

5. In addition to the foregoing, each director shall be reimbursed for any expenses incurred in the performance of duties required or authorized by the Board of Directors;

6. This ordinance shall become e ective October 11, 2024 sixty (60) days following the date of its adoption.

7. All prior revisions and amendments to Ordinance 17 are hereby rescinded.

A. reference those portions of California Fair Political Practices Commission Regulation No. 18730 that apply to local entities, officials and employees and any future amendments to those regulations. To the extent that other provisions of this Conflict-of-Interest Code are inconsistent with CA FPPC Regulation 18730, the provisions of the State regulation will control.

B. In compliance with the Political Reform Act of 1974, California Government Code Section 81000, and specifically with Section 87300, the HBMWD hereby adopts this Conflict-of-Interest Code which shall be applicable to all designated employees of the agency. The requirements of this Code are in addition to other requirements of the Act such as the general prohibition against conflicts of interest contained in Government Code Section 87100, and to any other state or local laws pertaining to conflicts of interest.

The Basic Prohibition:

7/18,7/25,8/1/2024(24−263)

Government Code Section 87100 of the Political Reform Act (the “Act”)1 prohibits a public official at any level of state or local government from making, participating in making, or attempting to use the official’s position to influence a governmental decision in which the official knows or has reason to know the official has a financial interest. Government Code Section 87103 provides that an official has a “financial interest” within the meaning of Section 87100 if it is reasonably foreseeable that the decision will have a material financial effect on one or more of the official’s interests as identified and distinguishable from the decision’s effect on the public generally. Taken together, these provisions of the Act prohibit an official from taking part in a decision if it is reasonably foreseeable that the decision would have a material financial effect on one or more of the official’s financial interests identified in Section 87103 distinguishable from the decision’s effect on the public generally.

Donald Alan Nielsen (1940-2024)

Donald Alan Nielsen, 84, the grandson of Swedish and Danish immigrants who settled on the Arcata Bottom in the early 1900s, passed away the first week of April following complications from a fall.

From an early age, Don worked on the farmers’ and ranchers’ fields on the Bottom weeding, mowing, and baling hay, and later worked as a night watchman at the Simpson Mill to support his family and to earn his college expenses.

Don attended the College Elementary School and Arcata High school, where he was active in debate, a delegate to Boys State, and graduated with honors in 1957. As a promising undergraduate at Humboldt State College, Don taught mathematics at College of the Redwoods and worked part-time as a sports writer on The Humboldt Standard newspaper in Eureka. At HSU, he was a staff writer on the Lumberjack and the Sempervirens annual. After completing his Bachelor of Science in math at HSU, he was awarded a graduate fellowship at Washington State University, Pullman.

Midway through his Fellowship, during a Christmas trip to Arcata, Don and his wife Jeanette and young son Randy were marooned in Arcata during the “thousand-year flood” of 1964. Unable to return to his teaching at WSU, Don completed his Master’s in mathematics at HSU, and also earned a lifetime teaching credential. After a year teaching math in Yreka, Don accepted a position to teach accelerated mathematics in the Northern Humboldt Unified High School District, which included 28 years at McKinleyville High School and five years at his alma mater, Arcata High School, retiring in 1999.

Don was a very private and modest man, but to the kids who knew him on the field and in the classroom he rocked. Don’s collection of yearbooks reflected tales of hard-won subject mastery, and stories about his exuberant teaching style spent in a classroom where the chalkboard was crowded with mathematical formulae. Students thanked him for his patience, kindness and good humor. In retirement, he was often stopped on the Plaza or elsewhere in the community by a former student who queried, “...Remember me, Mr. Nielsen?” followed by a snapshot of a special moment from high school days.

In addition to umpiring the Humboldt Crabs games, Don coached McKinleyville boys’ and girls’ basketball teams, and coached the 1988 Girls’ Softball Team to the NorthCoast and the Humboldt-Del Norte Championship. In 2008, Don was inducted into the McKinleyville Hall of Fame, and the honoree at its Homecoming festivities and parade.

From an early age, Don was an enthusiastic outdoorsman, having learned to fish and hunt from his dad, skills he passed along to young people during backpacking adventures into the Marble Mountains and Wilderness Alps. He was also a Master Gardener who shared his gardening skills with numerous HSU students, whose lives were enriched by learning how to produce their own food.

As a member of the Sierra Club, Friends of the Dunes, and the international travel organization Servas, Don lived the life of a conservationist and preservationist locally and abroad through travel and service. Though he did not see himself as an activist, he readily supported several efforts in the mid-’80s to preserve his own and nearby agricultural properties on the Arcata Bottom from further development and exploitation. He was also an enthusiastic explorer with his wife of 35 years, Carol, in Italy, France, England, and in Alaska, the Pacific Northwest, and the Southwest.

Thebusinessisconductedbyan Individual

Predeceased by his parents Anders and Anna Carlson Nielsen, his brother Curtis, and aunt and uncle Herbert and Erminia “Snookey” Carlson, Don leaves his spouse Carol Kirkby McFarland, Arcata; son Randy (Sharmini) Nielsen, of McKinleyville; grandchildren Melynda (Joey) Blake of McKinleyville, Kyle (Lily) of Fortuna; cousins Gary (Cathy) Carlson of Simi Valley, and David (Judy Tsou) of Seattle, WA, nephew Curtis (Melissa) Nielsen of Shelton, WA; and his lifelong friend Archie (Vivian) Day. And with special thanks to the Barnwell family, whose Chalk Mountain Ranch at Bridgeville hosted years of hunting trips; and to Tim and Sherry Klassan for their Reel Steel sport fishing voyages. Don specified no services, but thought planting a garden, a walk in the wilderness, contributing to a civic effort, and supporting education were good things.

Welcome

Iwould like to personally welcome all of you to the 33rd annual AutoXpo. Covid put a real damper on us a few years ago, but 2023 came back with a big welcome and a great turnout. We have a great crew again this year plus a few new faces. They all make this show run like clockwork and make me look good. We hope everyone enjoys the show, our great weather and the fantastic people who help put this show on.

I also would like to thank all of the participants that help us put on this show. We wouldn’t have a show without you. The car people that spend so much time getting their cars ready to show, to the hit & misses, swap meet, and artisan vendors. Alot of you drive a long way to come here, and it is much appreciated.

I can’t say enough about the many people that come out to volunteer for one or two days of our weekend. These volunteers are not only from Fortuna, but from the other neighboring townships. Our 15 AutoXpo committee members work year round in the planning, but grows to an additional 100 at show time. To everyone, I say have a great weekend.

Respectfully

Ryan Walters

You won’t want to miss the Friday night cruise and Friday night dance, all the cars on display in downtown Fortuna on Saturday, the Show and Shine vehicles on display at the Fortuna Union High School parking lot,

and of course the winners, as they drive through Rohner Park Sunday morning to collect their awards. But there are many other, perhaps less well-known events that also

AutoXpo Has Many Activities Going On

take place during Fortuna redwood AutoXpo.

Fortuna’s Rohner Park has plenty to see and do during Fortuna Redwood AutoXpo. There are the hit and miss antique gas engines and antique tractors on display. It is also where the artisan fair is held, where the swap meet and car corral is located, and where the tractor pull happens on Saturday, July 20th.

In recent years, Fortuna Redwood AutoXpo has added, and will again have this year, the showing of a drive-in movie Saturday night in Rohner Park. The movie this year will be Bullitt, starring Steve McQueen.

Admission is free to the drive-in movie and the showing begins at 8 p.m.

You might work up an appetite walking around downtown looking at all the vehicles. To grab a bite, stop by the food vendors at 13th and Main Streets.

Fortuna Redwood AutoXpo Committee president Ryan Walters said, “Our ‘friendly city” nickname is well earned and the atmosphere it creates for our participants and visitors during our event is often remarked upon. We also appreciate what the community does in support of our event,” he added.
