Affordable Housing ‘Outside the Box’ Editor: The inclusion of two seemingly unconnected articles in the July 18 North Coast Journal invites comment. In “Apollo Plus Fifty” Barry Evans recounts how when the moon landing project was started, “virtually everything that made it all possible didn’t exist.” No one knew what it would take to put a man on the moon. The equivalent of $112 billion was spent on a vast undertaking of unforeseen challenges. Then, in the article “Outside the Box,” we learn that the Humboldt County Planning Department intends to seek voter approval for the county to start a new operation to “build or acquire low-rent multi-family units without the need to turn a profit.” To doubters who believe that the government has no place building or owning housing units, we can point out that the government is already in the housing market. In addition to known subsidized housing, we have college dormitory units, which house many of the country’s 2 million incoming freshmen, and military barracks, which supply housing for more than 1 million men and women in uniform in the U.S.

Locally, Humboldt State University houses about 2,100 new and transferring students. In Austria, 62 percent of the general population of Vienna live in government-owned housing. Starting in the 1870s, their government made the decision to get involved in the housing market. Rents today in Vienna are one-quarter those of other major cities around the world. Because ordinary people spend less of their income on rent, every citizen of Vienna benefits from a richer society. Providing housing for working-class people does not involve rocket science. Major technological breakthroughs aren’t required to create low-income housing. It is a matter of national will. If it were considered important, it would get done. Fred Weis, Arcata

Editor: While I appreciate the criticism of the literalist (Mailbox, July 11) of my admonishment of Mr. Huffman to “get to work” (Mailbox, July 4), the resounding defeat of the impeachment resolution in the House of Representatives on July 17 more simply reinforces my original premise that the majority of the people of America say enough of this nonsense!

them for their eagerness to learn, and concern for the future of their generation and the rest of the planet, he scolded them for the carbon expenditure of the flight!

iota, according to the draft environmental impact report itself. It just makes electricity. Nothing about it says anything about cutting carbon emissions. Furthermore, the forest destruction envisioned therein impacts the greatest carbon sequestration entity on earth: according to the National Academy of Sciences, preservation of forests can achieve 37 percent of the world climate target of less than 2 degrees C temperature increase. Forests last way longer than the 30-year lifetime of wind-generators. As well as offering enhancement of climate change resilience, forest have additional benefits of water filtration, flood buffering, improving soil health, biodiversity and wildlife habitat. Mr. Winkler and Terra-Gen spokesperson Natalynne DeLapp have no expectation that Humboldt County can reduce its greenhouse gas emissions independently. They must hire an outside entrepreneur who will invest the profits from this Humboldt adventure in its fossil fuels portfolio. This is passive and cynical, and a lamentable fixation on reaching Redwood Coast Energy Authority’s own Comprehensive Action Plan for Energy goals. It’s tunnel vision. Ellen Taylor, Petrolia

‘A Total Goner’ Editor: Nice to read about the wind turbines (“Hook, Line and Turbine,” July 4 and “Why I support Terra-Gen’s Wind Project,” June 27). They could help locally. Basically, our planet is a total goner. Burning the oil is the worst thing on record. Global warming (like the sunny day here in once cloudy Freshwater). Hot spots from cars polluting, airlines spewing gas in the atmosphere, all the warming that is on record as pointing out the terrible warming going on in our waters (raising the water level so high that it will soon reach far inland), are simply adding up to an addiction to petro that is overwhelming the planet. Bureaucrats are virtually all on the take, making their overpaid living by selling the petro to keep everyone going as far and as fast as possible. Hot spots everywhere. This is not something temporary or fixable. Permanent warming, with no real end in site. Hideous Nancy Pelosi (the worst politician in my 75 years of life) wants to increase immigration and reduce all barriers, do away with all pollution controls and generally open all our doors to South Americans escaping their overcrowded hellholes. Party over. No turning back. No relief. Just wait til it runs out and say bye-bye baby, ’cause there is no relief in sight. Joshua Kinch, Freshwater

At Butcher Slough City Problems Editor: Another significant party in McKinleyville is Caltrans (“McKinleyopolis,” June 27). The freeway construction in 1964 altered the west side. Over the years, the drainage on the west side has been compromised by large tree roots, street drainage changes and sitting water. I’ve been flooded by ground water for three years now and have depended on our Humboldt County supervisors to help get the problem fixed. Both former Supervisor Ryan Sundberg and current Supervisor Steve Madrone have been terrific. It is an additional burden, though, for our district supervisors to handle the problems a mayor or city council might face. Susan Franke, McKinleyville

‘The Proof is in the Permitting’ Editor: Author David Corn describes America’s corrupt economy as the “White Tablecloth Syndrome.” Spilling red wine on a white tablecloth is obvious and embarrassing but overlooked on a tablecloth covered in stains. For example, manipulating shortages in affordable housing, (AKA “housing bubbles”), continues unabated, hiding in plain sight among the other corrupt industries also manufacturing scarcity to inflate prices and profits in healthcare, alternative energy, pharmaceuticals, education, transportation, well-made commodities and domestic manufacturing. With local and national government cooperation, rigging markets is easier than innovating useful public services, making “finance” the nation’s largest industry exploiting corruption’s victims. Each of Humboldt County’s past “Housing Elements” (“Outside the Box,” July 18) report small fractions of permits issued to fulfill the assessed need for low and very low priced homes while far-higher percentages of permits are issued for “moderate and above” priced homes, (200 percent in 2009). The current “McKay” development of moderate-and-above priced homes next to the Redwood Acres race track will become part of every lucrative cycle of speculation, building, foreclosing and resale, each time enriching entrenched local elites while bankrupting and impoverishing local families, part of America’s recurring economic collapse and industry bailouts. Sprawl worsens our county’s housing crisis and its unfunded infrastructure crisis that makes permitting

problematic for affordable and accessible housing alternatives requiring infrastructure subsidies. Local representative’s unwillingness to acknowledge or address systemic corruption guarantees the continuation of our housing crisis, collapsing markets and the gauntlet of predatory businesses flocking to Eureka to exploit corruption’s economic refugees. Under new, proactive public-interest leadership elected by Humboldt County voters, we could join other California cities building affordable housing funds through “vacancy taxes” that finally enforce accountability from large investors of foreclosed homes and businesses being used as “tax sinks.” Applying fees commensurate with sprawl’s economic, social and infrastructure impacts, (or freezing sprawl altogether), is past-due.

‘A Higher Priority’

County, water district square off over zoning changes By Elaine Weinreb

newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

f you’ve read stories about the disaster afflicting Flint, Michigan, you are probably grateful we still have good drinking water in Humboldt County. But the agency that provides water to a majority of county residents is increasingly worried about the future and going head-to-head with the county Planning and Building Department to protect water quality. About half of Humboldt’s residents get drinking water from the Mad River, including Eureka, Arcata and McKinleyville. The water is of unusually good quality, coming from the river’s bed, where it is naturally filtered through layers of sand, and the Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District (HBMWD) says its mission is to maintain that water quality. But the district fears changes in the county zoning code could open up properties in the Mad River watershed to increased industrial uses that could pose a threat to the district’s water source. “The Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District is concerned about the cumulative effects of increased industrial activities within the Mad River watershed and the potential impacts to our water quality

that the district provides to approximately 88,000 residents of Humboldt County,” District General Manager John Friedenbach wrote in a June 13 letter to the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors. “Zoning text amendments that expand and broaden the principally permitted industrial uses should be weighed against the environmental and health threats inherent in those activities and whether it is in the public’s interest and welfare to expand those activities in environmentally sensitive areas.” This isn’t the first time the district has raised alarms about potential threats to water quality in the Mad River. Last year, neighbor Mercer-Fraser Co., which has operated a gravel mine adjacent to the river for decades, asked the county to change its zoning to industrial so that it could open a cannabis extraction business on the site, which many feared would expose the river to dangerous chemicals. After a lot of public backlash, Mercer-Fraser withdrew its application. Other cannabis extraction facilities in the Mad River watershed have also applied for permitting. The HBMWD usually asks Continued on next page »

the planning commission to deny these permits while citing concerns about its ability to maintain the purity of the river water. But the issue of immediate concern to the district stretches far beyond a single permit application. The county planning department and the board of supervisors are currently going through the contentious task of re-writing the zoning code so that it will conform to the 2017 General Plan Update. This process has re-ignited numerous political brushfires that plagued the county for the past 20 years throughout the GPU process and, although the effort has been going on for several months, little progress has been made. Most of the parcels adjoining the Mad River are currently zoned Agricultural-Exclusive (AE). Despite the name, AE allows several non-agricultural uses, including surface mining. Another common rural agricultural land use designation, Agricultural-General (AG), allows oil and gas drilling, as does the Timber Production Zone (TPZ). After several months of squabbling,

the planning commission and the board have yet to come to a clear agreement as to what can and cannot be done in these zones. HBMWD is currently lobbying the board for broader protection of the Mad River watershed. The district was particularly concerned about a phrase that would have permitted “historical” uses by legitimizing any current industrial activities in a streamside management area, even if those uses were illegal or unpermitted at the time. The word “historical” was finally removed by the board at its June 18 meeting, although mining remains as an allowable use. Friedenbach has sent the county numerous letters detailing his concerns. Letters and emails sent to the commission in March and April did result in the commission agendizing the issue for discussion. In another letter sent to the board June 13, Friedenbach states that the general plan shows surface mining as incompatible in Agricultural-Exclusive or Timber Production zones and questions whether the impacts of allowing such uses were studied in the GPU’s environmental

impact report. The June 13 letter to the board followed one sent a week earlier that raised alarm about the perceived threat to the region’s drinking water from principally permitting “historic” uses. “These activities pose a continuing threat to our community’s health and water security, and the district continues to be concerned that the zoning ordinance will be revised to summarily permit previously unpermitted activities or prior potentially illegal activities rather than be used as a forward-looking tool to adequately protect the health, safety and welfare of your constituents,” Friedenbach wrote. “The zoning text amendments must be in the public interest to be adopted … however, to the extent that the proposed revisions allow changes in uses that may detrimentally impact drinking water quality, they are not in the public interest.” While the board would ultimately agree to drop the provision allowing historical uses to continue, Friedenbach now believes he has found a better path forward than continuing to scramble to provide piecemeal protections for the 75-mile long Mad River watershed. Browsing through the General Plan, he discovered a section under the Water Resources Element that specifically protects watersheds that are critical to providing water to communities. Only two such watersheds were mentioned: Francis Creek, which supplies the city of Ferndale, and Luffenholz Creek, which supplies the city of Trinidad. Friedenbach reasoned that the Mad River, which supplies Eureka, Arcata and McKinleyville, should qualify for similar protection. At the July 11 meeting of the water district board, Third District Supervisor Mike Wilson and Fifth District Supervisor Steve Madrone, as well as county supervising planner Michael Richardson, were present in the audience to listen to and comment on the proposal to list the Mad River as a “Critical Water Supply Area.” Both of the supervisors indicated they thought the idea had a lot of merit. Madrone pointed out that in addition to the historical problems with surface mining and illegal diesel storage, illegal cannabis production was adding to the environmental problems facing the river. But he warned them that “time is of the essence” in getting the zoning code changed to protect the Mad River watershed. Wilson and Richardson walked the water district through the complex process of getting an issue heard by the board, urging them to first go through the planning commission and to ask the poli-

cy-makers to give the matter priority over the long list of other zoning amendment changes. “It’s not the only thing we have to do,” Wilson commented with characteristic understatement. The water district has been including its attorney on recent correspondence with the county. (Actually, the county is facing so many implied and overt threats of litigation over the zoning code amendments that county counsel, at the board’s July 9

meeting, advised the supervisors to hold off on taking further action until the legal issues raised could be thoroughly studied.) For their part, the water district and Friedenbach seem poised to continue pressing to make protecting the Mad River watershed — and the 88,000 people who depend on it for drinking water — a priority as the process moves forward. “The district believes that protecting water quality, which is one of the stated primary purpose(s) of establishing

standards within the county’s general plan, should receive a higher priority during your deliberations regarding the proposed zoning text amendments,” Friendebach wrote in the June 13 letter. l Elaine Weinreb is a freelance journalist. She tries to re-pay the state of California for giving her a degree in environmental studies and planning (Sonoma State University) at a time when tuition was still affordable.

he high-powered U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs met July 23 for what was hailed to be a landmark hearing. Lawmakers, industry executives and advocates lined up to testify on the topic of the day: how Congress could ease federal cannabis banking restrictions, making the industry safer and more lucrative in states that have legalized cannabis for recreational and/or medical use. There was only one problem: When Committee Chair Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) banged his gavel to start the session, none of his 12 Republican committee colleagues was present. Instead, it seems, all decided to skip the session. Some speculated that as popular opinion shifts on cannabis, the senators didn’t want to put their prohibitionist proclivities on display. Others, meanwhile, speculated that it was actually the opposite, with the conservative senators — mostly from deep red states — not wanting to appear pro-cannabis. Whatever the case, it is interesting to note that the vast majority of the 12 come from states where prohibition is still the law of the land. The Republican boycott seems to underscore the current impasse over cannabis in Congress, where Democrats have increasingly voiced support for federal decriminalization but Mitch McConnell, majority leader of the Republican-controlled Senate, has so far refused to even allow cannabis bills to proceed to a floor vote. The Republican from Kentucky championed hemp’s inclusion in last year’s farm bill, but that appears to have had far more to do with the economic interests of his home state than any calling to free the weed or create equity across the United States when it comes to marijuana laws. So while we imagine industry leaders and lawmakers from states with more rational cannabis laws testified on July 23, making their solid case for why federal rules prohibiting banking institutions from working with cannabis businesses put people and livelihoods in very real danger, it appears to be more of the same. There is indisputably a rising tide of national sentiment that recognizes federal cannabis prohibition for the folly it is but, for the time being anyway, that tide just smacks repeatedly into a Republican seawall that is preventing any real progress on the issue. This all but ensures that — barring a blue wave hitting the Senate — we’ll continue to live in a nation where people in some states spend years if not decades in

prison for something that’s perfectly legal in other states, and where business owners following the letter of their states’ laws have to keep stacks of cash in safes, while paying taxes and their employees in cash, because they can’t open a bank account. l The state of California announced July 22 that it has seized more than $30 million in cannabis products over the last year in several dozen raids on unlicensed cannabis retail shops, mostly clustered in Southern California, where black market dispensaries still have a large foothold. Further bolstering enforcement efforts, Gov. Gavin Newsom also announced earlier this month that he has authorized fines of up to $30,000 a day for unlicensed cannabis growers, distributors and sellers, underscoring the notion that California is getting serious about trying to stamp out the black market, which continues to undercut the state’s legal recreational cannabis industry. l Ingesting cannabis while pregnant can potentially harm the behavioral development of your children, according to a pair of recent studies published in the journal Birth Defects Research. The first study saw researchers give lab rats cannabis and alcohol while they were pregnant during the rodent equivalent of what would be a mother’s third trimester, then observe their babies. They found that both alcohol and cannabis exposure slowed the offspring’s development, especially when they were prenatally exposed to both substances. The second study looked at the effects cannabis and alcohol exposure had on zebrafish, which reportedly share 84 percent of the genes that cause disease in humans, according to a report in Newsweek. The study found that exposing zebrafish embryos to high doses of cannabis caused similar effects to the fetal alcohol spectrum disorders that occurred when the embryos were exposed to alcohol. “This study is significant because it indicates that exposure of embryos to even small amounts of alcohol and cannabis during development may have long-term effects on behavior, with alterations in behavior being exhibited through adolescence,” Gregory Cole, who co-authored the zebrafish study, told Newsweek. “Especially important is the study shows that there may be no safe level of use of alcohol and cannabis during pregnancy, since the use of both drugs together places the fetus at greater risk.” l Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor.

Coastal Commission to Re-hear Trinidad Hotel Project in August

he California Coastal Commission will again consider whether the hotel development proposed by the Trinidad Rancheria on the bluffs above Scenic Drive is consistent with state coastal protections when the commission meets in Eureka next month. On June 12, an obviously conflicted commission voted 6-3 to object to the Bureau of Indian Affairs’ determination that the project is consistent with the California Coastal Act, largely due to questions surrounding where the hotel will get its water from. The rancheria has asked that the city of Trinidad supply water for the proposed 100-room hotel adjacent to Cher-Ae Heights Casino but the city has not yet committed and has several studies underway to determine whether the city’s water source — Luffenholtz Creek — has sufficient capacity to meet the city’s current and future needs, along with those of the hotel. Before the project came to a vote, commissioners lamented that the project was being heard before the water studies were complete and more than 700 miles away from the project site, with multiple commissioners noting there is tremendous public interest in the project. Multiple commissioners urged the Rancheria to resubmit the project to be heard again in Eureka, hopeful the water questions would

be answered by then. The Trinidad Rancheria has proposed the five-story hotel project as a way to spur economic development to what Tribal Chair Garth Sundberg described to the commission as a small tribe with a high unemployment rate and “tremendous needs.” But the project has drawn concern from some in the surrounding community who feel it could have negative impacts on traffic, the city’s water supply and the scenic nature of the area, pointing out that it would be the tallest structure in the surrounding 20 miles. But the project is not subject to local zoning regulations because the Trinidad Rancheria is a sovereign nation, which means it falls under the purview of the BIA and is subject to a federal environmental review process. As a part of that process, the BIA must determine whether it would be consistent with the California Coastal Act, a determination that the commission then can concur with or object to. If the commission disagrees with the BIA’s assessment, the bureau can proceed anyway but must offer a thorough explanation of why it disagrees, a path that leaves the decision susceptible to a legal challenge. Or the agencies can enter into non-binding mediation. In this case the bureau has decided not to proceed against the commission’s objection and — at the request of the

Comment of the Week

The proposed hourly federal minimum wage under a bill that is supported by North Coast Congressman Jared Huffman and recently passed the House on a 231-199 vote. The proposed law — which would bring the first federal minimum wage hike in decades and more than double the current federal minimum hourly rate of $7.25 — would increase wages for as many as 27 million people and potentially lift 1.3 million families out of poverty, according to a report from the Congressional Budget Office. The same report also found it could lead to a “decline in employment of as many as 1.3 million people.” While the proposed law wouldn’t have an impact in California, which is already on path to have a $15 an hour minimum wage by 2023, and is dead on arrival in the Republican-controlled Senate, Huffman said he supported the bill because it would give low-wage workers a “fair shake” and be good for the economy overall.

“I cannot believe this issue remains unresolved, that stonewalling has intensified and that the fair board, made up of a lot of people I know, is so recalcitrant. Unbelievable. Afraid of a weekly newspaper and editor/publisher Caroline Titus doing what all reporters would do: asking appropriate questions, going after stories where there are legitimate stories to be written, writing editorials about the board’s recalcitrance, etc. The board has historically operated this way; in addition to having very thin skins. Shameful. Shameful.”

— Eureka City Manager Greg Sparks in a letter to the city council announcing his retirement. Sparks, who hailed from West Des Moines, Iowa, was tapped for the city manager position in 2014 after the months-long tenure of his predecessor, Bill Panos, ended abruptly. The Eureka City Council was slated to meet in closed session as the Journal went to press July 23 to discuss how to proceed with hiring Sparks’ replacement. Read more at www.northcoastjournal.com.

‘ABSOLUTELY PREVENTABLE’

A family devastated by a fatal tree fall fights to stop it from happening again By Kimberly Wear

oAnn Duey was still in high school when she first saw the man who would become her husband walk inside the small Carlotta grocery her parents owned. Soon Ted Duey was a frequent visitor, driving up in his red Mustang and drinking cup after cup of coffee at the store’s counter so he could spend time with her as she worked. He was, JoAnn Duey says, quite simply, a gentleman. “He was my first date, he was my first love,” she says in a soft voice during a recent interview, while sitting on a couch beside her eldest son Clint Duey. “He was the love of my life, and Ted and I were very young. I was only 19 years old when we married.”

The two essentially grew up together after their wedding in the summer of 1973, JoAnn Duey says. They became inseparable. Over the next 38 years, the Dueys built a contented life together, raising three children — Clint was born in 1975, followed three years later by twins Deakon and Sabrina — on their rural ranch 30 miles down State Route 36 in a homestead Ted Duey built with his own hands. In 1986, the couple took over the store where they met, working side by side every day for two decades, carrying on a tradition started by JoAnn Duey’s family, whose ties to the area date back to the turn of the last century. First opened by her great aunt and un-

cle, and later run by her parents, the sign outside of their small community’s mainstay changed from “John and Mabel’s” to “Martin and Shirley’s” and then “Ted and JoAnn’s.” While juggling the demands of running a ranch and the store made for a busy schedule, the Duey children grew up knowing their parents would always make time to support them. “It was very important for us to be there at every event for the kids,” JoAnn Duey says. “He was a supportive man. A family man. And a Cowboys fan. He loved his kids so much.” Clint Duey, now the principal of Fortuna High School, says he learned a lot from his father — from his fierce commitment to be an integral part of his children’s lives to the way he carried himself. Standing 6 feet, 2 inches tall with a physique built by hard work, he says his father could have exuded a sense of intimidation but “never used that in his parenting.” Instead, his father led by example as a person the community knew it could depend on, whether it was behind the counter of the store, helping a neighbor mill wood or coaching youth sports from the sidelines. “He was a phenomenal person in that way,” Clint Duey says. As the years passed, Clint Duey and his siblings started families of their own and a new generation began looking up in the stands to find Ted and JoAnn Duey cheering them on. Then, on March 31, 2012, the unthinkable happened. Ted and JoAnn Duey were heading down the winding, tree-lined curves of State Route 36, returning home to their ranch after spending the rain-soaked day at their grandson’s wrestling match and visiting family. It was a drive the couple knew well, having passed through this section of the rural highway by Swimmers Delight every day on their way to and from work. Suddenly, the massive trunk of a roadside redwood tree broke off 75 feet up and came slamming through the driver’s side windshield of their truck. “That day, you feel so helpless,” JoAnn Duey says in a quivering voice as her eyes well with tears. “Watching Ted get crushed, I couldn’t help him. I couldn’t do anything. … I couldn’t help the love of my life.” Ted Duey was 60. Seven years later, the family is still reeling. They also believe what happened on that March day could have been prevented had Caltrans’ employees followed the agency’s own safety guidelines, something the Dueys fear the agency still isn’t doing.

On the eve of trial earlier this year, Caltrans settled the Dueys’ wrongful death and dangerous condition of public property lawsuit, agreeing to pay the family $2 million with no admission of liability. Attorney Ben Mainzer, who represented JoAnn and Clint Duey, says his research in the case and the testimony of Caltrans employees and experts shows there was a “top-down failure to supervise and, from the bottom-up, there was failure to train or be trained.” “Caltrans had opportunity after opportunity to do that right thing and, if they had, Ted would still be alive. It was absolutely preventable,” he says. “This was absolutely preventable and that’s what is so tragic and that is what’s so hard for Clint and JoAnn and all of the Dueys. There was no reason for Ted to die.” While even healthy trees can topple, there are certain warning signs that indicate if one is prone to fail, which Caltrans employees — especially boots-on-the ground crews like tree trimmers —are supposed to be trained to recognize and report. Those defects include when a trunk splits and begins growing as two or more equal-sized parts — called a codominant stem or leader — which are susceptible

to weakening and breaking off, like the one that crushed Ted Duey. The massive trunk section was later deemed an “extreme risk” due to an estimated 12-foot-long crack with an 8-inch gap that would have been wide enough to let sunlight shine through. With one expert — the state’s arborist — describing the fissure as several years old and “very, very difficult not to observe.” Yet, no one did, Mainzer says, despite numerous chances. None of what needed to happen was difficult, he says, it was simply Caltrans policy. A little more than a year before the accident, in November of 2010, Caltrans set new guidelines to standardize how tree inspections are done across California, citing at the time an increase in injuries and deaths involving trees along the state’s roadways. One of the conditions inspectors are supposed to identify in the surveys are codominant stems, with Caltrans policy requiring those trees be red flagged for further inspection. Crews were on the section where the lethal redwood still sits some 3 to 4 feet from the road at least four times in as many years leading up to the accident, including to conduct tree trimming in the

area just six months before Ted Duey was killed. That work alone should have triggered what’s known as a level 2 inspection that would include walking the site to scan for potential hazards and more carefully inspect trees with noted defects, like codominant stems. But crew members testified in pretrial depositions that they didn’t regularly report codominant stems nor were they directly told to do so. Just one month before the fatal crash, District 1’s tree maintenance supervisor Darin Sullivan conducted an annual tree survey on State Route 36. But there’s no record he ever got out of the car at the crash site despite 11 tree failures between 2004 and 2012 along a short stretch between milepost markers 11.3 to 13.5, the highest rate anywhere on the highway. Ted Duey died at milepost marker 12.25. Instead, Sullivan testified he likely drove by at an estimated 25 mph, somehow looking out the window for the tell-tale warning signs — some lurking several stories high in the woods — while simultaneously keeping his eye on one of the region’s most dangerous roads. When asked if Caltrans records indicated “a substantial number of other tree Continued on page 17 »

any of you know the history of the Humboldt Crabs, like that the team was founded in 1945 by Lou Bonomini or that the first General Manager was Ned Barsuglia, but did you know that many Crabs teams have hosted local Humboldt County players? This year’s team is no different; the current roster has four local players, Dylan Campbell, Kokko Figueiredo, Aidan Morris and Wyatt Tucker. Dylan grew up in McKinleyville, he attended McKinleyville High, CR and most recently Mount Mercy University. Dylan is in his second season with the Crabs. This left handed pitcher has received

Kokko’s nickname is The Wizard because of his ability to play almost every position and the fact that he always manages to get on base. He has a .360 average and a .496 OBP so far this year with the Crabs. He also has a team leading 39 hits and has scored 32 runs.

failures” in the stretch, Sullivan answered “true” during his deposition while also stating he thought the area around milepost 12.25 was too dangerous to canvass on foot because there’s not a large enough shoulder. In fact, Sullivan did not red flag a single tree as needing a closer look along the entire 45-mile stretch of State Route 36 during the 2011 and 2012 inspections, even though Caltrans had just instituted more rigorous standards. How the tree was missed despite the opportunities and the obvious warning signs is inconceivable, Mainzer says. “That should be frightening to anyone who goes on roads that have trees in this area,” he says. “It certainly scares me.” The lawsuit, Mainzer says, was about making sure what happened to the Dueys never happened to another family by spurring Caltrans to follow the very safety procedures already on its books. “Our hope was that by obtaining the settlement, we would — in essence — shine a light on what Caltrans was not doing,” Mainzer says. Caltrans, however, maintains proper protocol was followed and the tree that killed Ted Duey would have been difficult to spot no matter how well the annual inspection had been conducted, describing the terrain as a “densely forested area on private property not owned by Caltrans.” “The records reflect that Caltrans conducted annual tree inspections but did not identify the defect in the subject tree, which caused it to fail,” agency spokesperson Myles Cochrane wrote in an email to the Journal, adding the split occurred at about the height of a six-story building. Tom Fitzgerald, deputy director of maintenance and operations for Caltrans District 1, which includes Humboldt County, says the basic idea of the annual inspections is to “try to identify any hazard tree that can be seen from the road

“Caltrans safety goal for our highway workers and users of our transportation system is zero fatalities and we will continue to relentlessly pursue that goal.” that may be a danger to travelers on the roadway.” Put simply, a Caltrans employee who has been certified in tree risk assessment basically drives up and down all of the district’s roads while conducting a so-called “windshield survey” for dead or dying trees, trees that lean, hanging branches and codominant stems, among other potential dangers that would trigger an on-the-ground inspection. But, Fitzgerald says, identifying those hazardous conditions is a constant job that depends on members of the public,

landowners and Caltrans crews out on day-to-day assignments to report potential problems. In the end, he says, there’s simply no way to inspect every tree. “We’re always preparing for winter, we’re always looking for anything that might be an immediate hazard,” Fitzgerald says. “It’s year-round. The annual tree inspection is just one way to make sure everything gets looked at but it’s certainly not the only time it gets looked at.” Fitzgerald says tree maintenance crews are trained to watch for codominant stems but the defect isn’t necessarily an

immediate concern, although Caltrans denotes the defect as one with “a relatively high potential for failure” on the agency’s training poster titled “Heads Up.” “Codominant stems are a condition so common in District 1 that to report each one on that basis alone is impractical,” he says. “If the codominant condition was noted, our crews would know to look for other signs that the tree was hazardous to workers or the traveling public.” And, Fitzgerald says, Caltrans maintains that regardless of how well a drive-by Continued on next page »

survey with occasional stops — or a level 1 inspection — was done, the inspector wouldn’t “have necessarily ever seen that defect in the tree,” describing the break as occurring in an area obscured by branches and other foliage, “That is not to say that we just need to accept that tree failures will cause injuries to users on our highways,” Fitzgerald says. “Caltrans safety goal for our highway workers and users of our transportation system is zero fatalities and we will continue to relentlessly pursue that goal.” Fitzgerald stresses that the agency has reflected on the incident and what — if anything — it could have done to prevent what happened. “We talked about if we’d gone slower or had binoculars and, in the case of the tree, without a different vantage point and without calling a level 2 survey, we could not have identified that defect,” he says. That’s exactly the point, according to Mainzer. “What is truly tragic is that all Caltrans had to do was follow policy and procedure,” he says. “If they had done nothing more than that, the defect in the tree would have been observed and Theodore wouldn’t have died.” Mainzer says his investigation determined that there were 41 tree failures in District 1 on State Route 36 from 2004 to 2012 and a 5 percent segment of the roadway, which includes the area near Swimmers Delight, had at least four of those incidents between 2007 and 2011. “Any one of those failures could have led to another death,” Mainzer says, adding that all Caltrans had to do was “go to the hot spot and look, and they would have seen the problem.” “There was no other section of State Route 36 that had a higher level of tree failure,” he says. Mainzer points to Caltrans’ 2010 directive, which cites the agency’s tree risk assessment training guide as a primer for “tree risk assessment strategies, descriptions, identifications and signs of tree conditions that may predispose trees to structural failure” and states that the directive was now “an addition to tree inspection requirements.” Included in the module is a section that states a “more frequent inspection program should be established in high use areas or in areas with a history of tree disease or damage. Trees that are subject to disease or damage may require more frequent inspections. By ongoing visual surveillance, the tree manager can detect, prioritize and schedule abatement treatments.” It also notes that, “some conditions

are obvious while others require detailed inspection and evaluation” and “a systematic, thorough inspection of the entire tree and area around the plant may be necessary to detect diseased or weakened conditions.” But, according to Sullivan’s testimony, that “probably” didn’t happen on the section of State Route 36 where the higher level of failures occurred. “This wasn’t a situation where we’re saying to Caltrans, ‘You need to change your policy, you need to change your procedure,’” Mainzer says. “What we’re saying is, ‘Just do what you said you were going to do.’” The recorded annual cost of inspecting the 45- mile stretch of State Route 36 located in District 1 has stayed relatively steady at around $500 in the years before the crash, immediately after the crash and last year, according to Caltrans documents provided to the Journal and discussed during the depositions. This basically means the inspector — Sullivan continues to do the surveys although he has since been promoted to a district supervisor position — is still driving the roadway alone while making occasional stops, even seven years after Ted Duey’s death. “Maybe that’s the most shocking aspect of this all … Caltrans seems to be doing what it has done before, which is inade-

quate tree inspections, which endangers everyone driving on roads in Humboldt County,” Mainzer says. Fitzgerald says he appreciates the Duey family’s perspective but there is simply no way Caltrans can inspect every tree that could impact the 2,000 shoulder miles under District 1’s domain and keep on track with all the other work necessary to keep roadways safe. “If the position is that we could do more, I don’t think that’s something we could dispute,” he says. “But did we do what was prudent in order to make a responsible effort to identify (trees) and reduce the risk (of failure)? … We would argue we did do that.” He says that perhaps in a world with “endless resources” a more comprehensive review might be possible but that’s not the world in which Caltrans workers operate. “I guess there are always ways to make it safer and be more cautious, but everything has its cost.” In the wake of the settlement, Caltrans District 1 has reviewed the inspection procedure and is looking at some changes. According to Fitzgerald, those include increased communication with highway-adjacent landowners and additional support for the inspector. “The biggest change that we are considering is making more use of the policy that we have of notifying adjacent

property owners of anything we see that we think they might want to look at more closely,” he says. In this case, the landowner — Humboldt Redwood Co. — was dismissed from the Dueys’ lawsuit with the court finding HRC “had no duty, as a matter of law, to inspect the area adjacent to Highway 36 and remove trees at risk of falling onto Highway 36, as the State of California was performing that inspection and removal.” Another change Caltrans District 1 is considering— which is already done in other regions — is providing a “shadow car” or possible traffic controls such as lane closures in certain areas that need to be evaluated at a slower speed “so we could do so without a risk to an inspector.” Along those same lines, Fitzgerald says Caltrans District 1 is also looking at providing an additional driver for some roadway sections that are more heavily forested “so the inspector is a passenger and can be solely focused on spotting trees.” Sitting together on a coach in Mainzer’s Eureka law office, JoAnn Duey and her son emphasize that their lawsuit against Caltrans wasn’t about the money but preventing another family from enduring the pain they are experiencing. JoAnn Duey says her husband was not the kind of person who spent money on material things. His gifts were often

handmade, like the heart he chain-sawed out of a tree stump for their anniversary one year. “People need to be aware,” she says. JoAnn Duey says she still doesn’t understand why this had to happen but she wants people to recognize the potential dangers that exist amid the trees along Humboldt County’s roadways. “What I went through and what we went through as a family, you don’t understand,” she says. “My heart aches. It has been seven years. I love my children so much and they’ve had to take care of their mom, and that is really hard.” Meanwhile, Clint Duey notes, the “tree that is the issue, that brought this all to light, the other top of the tree is sitting there seven years later.” Mainzer says working on the case has made him wary and when he’s traveling State Route 36, he’s looking up. “It’s not a road I like to drive,” he says. Residents and travelers alike should be able to expect that Caltrans procedures are being followed, Mainzer says, adding he hopes the settlement will “shine a light” on what is happening. “I’ve known the Dueys for years,” Mainzer says. “I’ve known them since 2012. They are wonderful people, they are truly kind, generous, hardworking people. It’s a terrible thing to happen to anyone but for this to happen to them, it’s truly horrible.”

“If what this case did was give JoAnn’s family peace and shame Caltrans into making sure this doesn’t happen to someone else’s family, then what we did has a purpose,” he says. “Caltrans can continue to claim it wasn’t at fault, that it wasn’t its tree or that nothing could have been done, but the state of California doesn’t agree to settle cases for millions of dollars unless it recognizes it got caught in the wrong. That was clearly the case here.” But, in the end, there is nothing that can bring Ted Duey back, nothing that allows JoAnn Duey to once again hear his warm laugh, nothing that will return him to his seat at the Pinochle table or put him back in the stands at his grandchildren’s sporting events. “He was the glue to our family,” JoAnn Duey says. “Our family is shattered. … We were just trying to get home.” l Editor’s note: In the interest of full disclosure, it should be noted that Myles Cochrane, who is quoted in the above story, is the founder of Humboldt Last Week, with which the Journal has an ongoing promotional partnership.

Sauvignon Blanc: Perfect for Summer By Erin Young

tabletalk@northcoastjournal.com

efore I had ever tasted a sauvignon blanc, I was told it smelled like cat pee. The wine dork who told me this didn’t even mean it in a bad way and I was so very confused. I mean ... I grew up with cats. My mom was completely incapable of turning away a stray. I knew what cat pee smelled like and, as far as I was concerned, that scent could never illicit positive reactions — especially in my wine. But to my surprise, this is a common descriptor used for this varietal by professionals worldwide. After my many years dedicated to drinking wine in the name of science, though I have found some sauvignon blancs that maybe smell a little bit like cat pee if you really overthink it, I have yet to taste one that triggers the memory of when Puffy the stray tomcat peed in the heating vent outside my bedroom. And trust me — that memory is easily recalled. And of course, sauvignon blanc has to have something going for it, seeing as it is the second most popular white wine grape in the world. Traditionally, sauvignon blanc is a delicious, bright, acidic white wine with notes of citrus, herbaceous undertones and often a crisp minerality that other wines don’t

showcase. In other words — it’s the perfect summer wine. The lemon-like, mouth puckering acid is perfect poolside. The slight hints of sage and thyme are an ideal respite from your summer landscaping. The refreshingly clean finish is just what you need while you grasp for your sanity and count down the days until school starts again. It’s also most often the wine of choice for the “anything-but-chardonnay” drinkers, as it is the antithesis to the creamy richness of the oaked chardonnays flooding today’s market. (Don’t spill your Rombauer, chardonnay fans. I’ve got an article coming for y’all soon). “Right on,” you might say, “I’ll go to the store right now to get a bottle!” But not so fast. No wine shopping venture is without its share of a baffling array of labels. Like all wines, no two sauvignon blancs are the same, and where it’s from is your first clue, Nancy Drew. The big dogs in the import sauvignon blanc game are France and New Zealand, specifically the Loire Valley and Marlborough, respectively. I picked up a couple of examples from some local shops to compare to one another but, more importantly, to some popular sauvignon blancs from Humboldt County winemakers. Spoiler alert: None of them smells like cat pee. The sauvignon blanc grape originated in Bordeaux, France, but the Loire Valley is where it has earned the majority of its gold stars. Specifically, Sancerre, an appellation on the west side of the Loire river with soils ranging from dense in limestone and gravel to white, chalky soils that extend all the way to the white cliffs of Dover in England. A generally cool climate that elevates acid in the grapes and the distinctive mineral-like finish from the limestone combine to make wine from Sancerre stand out as one of the most elegant representations of the varietal. When shopping for French wines, their labels will never tell you what the grape is — they will only, very prominently, state where it’s from and then expect you to know what that means. I picked up the “Sancerre” from Libation, where owner NaRayan Urciuoli consistently brings in weird and awesome import wines. It’s a 2017 from Dominique Crochet and I picked it up for $25.50. It’s a good representation of

Fool Me Once

Tartuffe at NCRT By Pat Bitton

frontrow@northcoastjournal.com

irst performed in France in 1664, Molière’s Tartuffe is a comedy for the ages — a hypocritical individual seeks to relieve an impressionable gentleman of his wealth, possessions and social standing by means of flattery and persuasion. Currently on stage at the North Coast Repertory Theatre, the play perfectly illustrates the willingness of some people to believe what they want to believe, despite glaring evidence to the contrary. As the play opens, the audience is first asked if we would like the play to be performed in French or English. Fortunately for us, the decision is firmly in favor of English — especially since the original was entirely written in 12-syllable rhyming couplets. Before we meet the aforementioned impressionable gentleman Orgon (Dave Fuller), we are introduced to his household — mother Madame Pernelle (Willi Welton), wife Elmire (Kim Haile), brother Cléante (Morgan Cox), daughters Damia (Jewel Blanchard) and Marianne (Marguerite Rose Hockaday) and housemaid Dorine (Tracy Elizabeth Foltz). We learn that Elmire is being not-so-subtly courted by the hypocritical holy man Tartuffe (David Hamilton) Orgon met through his church, that Damia is something of a firebrand, that Marianne is engaged to Valère (Nathan Lenhoff), a young man of good standing, that Madame Pernelle is also under Tartuffe’s spell and that Dorine is much more than a mere servant. Orgon then proceeds to throw a wrench into the already rocky family dynamics by declaring that Marianne should drop Valère and marry Tartuffe. This announcement finally pushes the entire household (except Madame Pernelle) to act in getting Tartuffe out of the house. Damia’s plan to kill him with a sword is rapidly pushed aside in favor of Elmire using her womanly wiles to persuade Tartuffe against marrying Marianne. Unfortunately, that plan misfires as Tartuffe has little interest in Marianne,

preferring to continue his quest for Elmire. And even when Orgon discovers the two of them almost in flagrante delicto, he still believes his family is conspiring to drive poor Tartuffe away. Not only does he tell Tartuffe to stay close by his wife but he also gives the self-declared “poor sinner” power of attorney over his financial affairs. Clearly, this can only lead to bigger problems — and it does — but it also produces some of the play’s laugh-outloud funniest moments, involving Elmire forcefully resisting Tartuffe’s advances and Tartuffe stuffing ice cubes down his pants. All of which is overheard by Orgon, who has been persuaded to spy on the pair. Finally, he realizes what Tartuffe’s been up to all along and tells him to get out — forgetting that he had signed the house over to Tartuffe, who summons Monsieur Loyale, a bailiff, to oversee the eviction of Orgon’s family. By now, even Madame Pernelle has accepted the reality, but fate has one final twist in store and this time it’s not in Tartuffe’s favor … Hamilton is quite wonderful as Tartuffe, caressing his crucifix and preening in a hand mirror in equal measure. He’s overthe-top and subtle at the same time, revealing his true motives in sly aside expressions to the audience. Fuller’s Orgon

is the perfect counterpoint, earnest and trusting in Tartuffe while frustrated to the point of literally bouncing up and down in the face of his family’s intransigence. Foltz is great fun as Dorine, the housemaid who knows too much — and tells the audience everything; my only quibble is that in a few places, the script implies the character is rather older than she is presented here. Haile is also clearly enjoying herself in the role of Elmire, revealing her inner coquette to just the right degree while keeping a firm hand on the men in her life. Blanchard excels as hyper-dramatic teen Damia, while Hockaday as Marianne strikes an effective and believable balance between dreaming of Valère and wailing at the prospect of wedding Tartuffe. Lenhoff is less successful in his rather wooden portrayal of Valère, and Cox as Cléante is just confusing — he’s amusing to watch but appears to be channeling a particularly campy impersonation of David Sedaris that doesn’t have a lot to do with the play. Rounding out the mostly excellent cast are Willi Welton as a queenly Madame Pernelle, Bill Welton as the bailiff with a secret up his sleeve and NCRT favorite Pam Service as the bailiff’s arresting officer. In this 2000 translation by Curtis Page and adapted by the play’s director (and

NCRT Artistic Director) Calder Johnson and others, the language of the script is fairly timeless, although passing references to mimosas, rotisserie chickens and doorbells are a little jarring. Serena Hai’s costumes do a wonderful job of complementing the characters and Calder Johnson’s deceptively simple pink-andgold Louis XIV scenic design works well for both atmosphere and actors. Johnson is also lighting designer, sound designer and property manager for this fun production. Tartuffe shows every Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m., with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m., through Aug. 11 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 300 Fifth St. in Eureka.

ops, I did it again. Another late night with one of my friends has led into a morning deadline panic and blearyeyed struggle session with the English language. It’s OK, it was probably worth it. While I wasn’t in a Paris salon or a New York City coffee klatch, I would like to think I had a more or less enlightening time. My friend Fink and I enjoyed homemade red beans and rice before we moved onto 40-ounce bottles of Mickey’s and a deep dive into the Steely Dan discography looking for recognizable samples from the world of late-1980s hip hop. I tried ripping a few clouds on his tobacco vaporizer, which is my only real regret from the night, as my throat now feels like the blacktop scene of a desert drag race-turned disaster. The faint glow of the mango-flavor aftertaste is a cruel joke in the sober light of morning. There’s nothing to despair over in this coming week’s musical offerings, though. We have a wide variety of fun options that I can safely say probably contain at least one good time for everyone out there in our happy little county. And the weather’s been a treat and the fire season hasn’t been too rough, which are both bankable blessings as far as I am concerned. What isn’t a blessing, though, is the knowledge that the rest of that 40-ounce beer is lurking in my fridge, waiting to pounce. But that’s my problem. To the rest of you, I wish you a wonderful and exciting week. Enjoy.

It’s the second day of the third annual Death in the Dunes metal festival at the Manila Community Center. Today’s show starts at noon, and a one-day ticket will run you $20, which will allow you to enjoy a beer garden, various vendors and, of course, a massive line-up of bands that includes acts like Locust Furnace, Embryonic Devourment, Infex, GraveWitch, Scythe and the amusingly named Muppet Hunter. If your tastes run more toward a softer and jammier psychedelic rock sound, you can certainly do a lot worse than checking out the Zen Mountain Poets at Blondies tonight at 8 p.m. ($5). The quintet is inspired by bands from the hippie renaissance of the 1960s, like Traffic, The Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane. LodeStar will be playing as well.

This interpretation of the classic Roald Dahl story features a full orchestra and many local performers, including my friends Bryan and Kayla, who I can assure you have not threatened or otherwise coerced me into completing this write-up. The songbook is by popular Australian comedian Tim Minchin. (Adults $22-$30, children and seniors $19-$27).

The massive Los Angeles psyche rock warship helmed by Phil Pirrone and Andrew Clinco known as JJUUJJUU will rattle the wainscoting off of the Miniplex tonight. They will be joined by local brain-damaged journeymen White Manna, whose excellent new record Ape on Sunday I will be reviewing in these pages soon. Rounding out the bill is the always delightful Opossum Sun Trail. 8 p.m. ($7).

Tuesday The Siren’s Song has a stoney metal show going on tonight, just in time to bid your easy living midsummer days farewell. Bozeman, Montana’s marijuana and distortion pedal aficionados Kannabyss will be joined by fellow townie tour buddies Liquid Colors for an evening of fine stoner metal. Local acts Ultramafic and Fever Dog will also be in on the fun tonight. 7 p.m. ($5).

Wednesday Precious and good country chanteuse Miss Lana Rebel is making a stop in our county tonight, specifically at Siren’s Song, to grace us with her perfect vintage sounds. She and her partner Kevin Michael Mayfield are on the road from their Tuscon, Arizona, home to spread the mid-century country western gospel. A strippeddown Moon Pine with just Nola and Dieter will open the evening, and having caught them last week at the Roselit Bone show, I can tell you that they are hot, hot, hot, and better than ever. 7:30 p.m. (price TBA). l Collin Yeo would like to tip his hat to the U.K. for somehow managing to elect a rich dipshit with even worse hair than our guy. He lives in Arcata.

Wookiee Here

Star Wars

Magic Mirror on the wall, what’s the best Star Wars of all? Answer: Episode IV or V. (That’s Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back to us first-run ticket holders) That’s it. The only two contenders in this debate. Sabers down. Discuss amongst yourselves. And if you need a refresher, both sequel-spawning space fantasies are playing this weekend at the Eureka Theater. So, slip into your hooded Jedi-robe, clear your throat (or don’t) for your best Chewie howl and get ready to mouth trumpet John Williams’ iconic score along with the rest of the crowd during the opening crawl. “The film that started it all in a galaxy far, far away.” Follow the Force to Fourth Friday Flix: Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope screening Friday, July 26 at 7:30 p.m. at the Eureka Theater ($8). The good folks at the theater tell us the Cantina will be open at 6:30 p.m. for galactic cocktails. And I wasn’t kidding about that Jedi robe, cosplayers and costumes welcome. Hell Hoth no fury like rebels overthrowing an oppressive dictatorship. Come back Saturday, July 27 for more Empire/Alliance action with Luke, Han, Leia, Chewie and everybody’s favorite droid duo, plus the introduction of a little creature named Yoda and the beastly slug Jabba in Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back, playing at 7:30 p.m. ($8). The Eureka Theater this weekend is where it’s AT-AT for arguably cinema’s most epic battle of good vs. evil. Pick your side and suit up. We’ll see you there. — Kali Cozyris

Roll Call

Submitted

Summer is here and things are heating up. Especially for our firefighters doing the good work of keeping families and property safe and protected. Roll on out to Mattole Grange, Saturday, July 27, and show your gratitude for all they do at the 30th annual Roll on the Mattole, noon to midnight ($25, $20 students/seniors, free for kids 12 and under with an adult). The annual fundraiser for the Honeydew Volunteer Fire Company is one of SoHum’s biggest parties with an all-day lineup of some of the area’s best movers and shakers. This year’s Roll sees favorites Ishi Dube & the Tuff Riddim Band, Rosewater, Blacksage Runners, The Bandage, Potholes 3, Mattole Mudstompers and Bodhimind taking the stage. In addition to your dollars at the gate to get in, bring a few bills for the local craft, food and beer vendors on site. Other festival amenities include a Kid’s Zone and the Wildland Firefighter Challenge, which sees crews from fire departments from the Mattole Watershed compete in three drills: hand line construction, backpack water pump game and a 300-foot hose lay. The competition rolls out from 4-6 p.m. The HVFC is a 100-percent volunteer run nonprofit, so the money raised at the Roll allows it to keep doing what it does — protecting and serving the four neighborhoods of Wilder Ridge, Panther Gap, Windy Nip and Honeydew. Come on out (please leave dogs and glass containers at home) and have a great time in support of your local firefighters. — Kali Cozyris

We feel ya, Simba. We feel ya. The Lion King

The Pretty Kitty has no Teeth The Lion King underwhelms By John J. Bennett

Reviews

THE LION KING. By the time the original Lion King (1994) came out and caught fire, I had already started moving out of the animated feature lane (where I had only really spent a brief, though admittedly enjoyable, season). I was of just the right age that Pulp Fiction hit a lot harder that year, date-stamping my still-forming brain and setting me on the path to semi-selfrighteous pop-culture curmudgeon-hood; It was a (debatably) good year. Maybe more apropos of the subject at hand, though, is the fact that with a few outliers notwithstanding, I’ve never particularly cared for musicals. And seeing as how that’s the Disney empire’s stock in trade, or at least was, I’ve never been entirely on board. Sure, I’ll still nod my head to the silly ditties of Robin Hood (1973) and The Jungle Book (1967) — more on the latter in a moment — but to my ear those songs, with their not-quite ironic self-awareness and their fun, jokey sensibility, belong in a completely different building than the unbearably earnest confessionals of most of the genre. Those particular soundtracks are also improved by the gauzy glow of nostalgia, which by this point I’ve learned not to disrupt by re-examination — an impulse apparently unshared by the hordes of parents of a certain age now indoctrinating their own children with the re-re-recorded Disney hits of their youth, to say nothing of the industry executives, peering down at said families with blazing dollar signs for eyes from the spires of Sleeping Beauty’s Castle. But even if we put aside the pabulum of the precursors, the Disney musical songbook, with all its soaring orchestral arrangements and fill-the-arena vocalizing

... well, I guess, in my mind it belongs with the rest. (Before anyone gets too bent about it, I can appreciate the songcraft and effort and, yes, it’s all part of the soundtrack of my life, too.) By way of clarifying that I’m not all vitriol and joy-killing, I would offer that I very much enjoyed director Jon Favreau’s take on The Jungle Book (2016) and so, despite my reservations, was ready to embrace his version of The Lion King. It might even have helped that I don’t revere the original. I think everybody knows the quasi-Shakespearean broad strokes, but in brief: King Mufasa (James Earl Jones, reprising his role), rules his corner of the Serengeti with fairness and courage. To him and Queen Sarabi (Alfre Woodard) a son, an heir to the kingdom, is born. They name him Simba (JD McCrary, for the first act) and there is much rejoicing, although Mufasa’s brother Scar (Chiwetel Ejiofor) does not take part, watching instead from the shadows, resentful and plotting revenge. And soon enough he has it, planting in Simba’s mind the seed of an idea that he, Simba, is responsible for a terrible tragedy. The young cub leaves his home to wander alone, convinced of his guilt. Along the way, though, Simba (Donald Glover) makes some new friends: Timon the meerkat (Billy Eichner) and Pumbaa the warthog (Seth Rogen) embrace him as one of their own, teaching him important life lessons about acceptance and identity and community. Meanwhile back home, Scar’s malevolent reign has decimated the kingdom. The herds have vanished, the grasslands are dying and Sabari and the rest of the pride are subject to the whims of the nasty hyenas who do Scar’s bidding. So

Nala (Beyoncé Knowles-Carter) formerly Simba’s closest friend and queen-apparent, sets out to find the rightful heir to the throne and attempt to restore balance to the kingdom. Because I don’t feel a connection to the story or the songs of The Lion King, for me, it has to come down to execution. And because I so enjoyed Favreau’s Jungle Book, with its immersive visual effects and childlike fascination with its own created world, I was almost sure he would be able to win me over. In fairness, the imagery here is every bit as impressive as in the earlier movie: It is difficult to believe that the vast and intensely vivid world we see on screen really only exists inside a hard drive (well, and in the cloud and backed-up on Disney’s unimaginable server array, etc.). But impressive can only carry a story for so long. When that initial rush subsided, I was left feeling disengaged, looking at something perfect but sterile, a billion elegantly solved math problems coalescing into what should be an emotionally involving story of tragedy and triumph. Moments of humor, usually provided by Eichner, Rogen and an under-used John Oliver, certainly didn’t hurt, but weren’t enough to curb my feeling that this is strictly a capitalist enterprise, an opportunity to use a generation’s nostalgia against itself, with their enjoyment a distant second priority to profit. To be fair, the parents in the crowd at the matinee I attended seemed to enjoy it. Maybe more than their kids did. That seems like a problem. PG. 118M. BROADWAY, FORTUNA, MILL CREEK, MINOR.

ould you like to learn how to talk to fish like I do? It’s easy. Try starting with small talk like, “Sorry about that hook in your face, buddy. How’s it goin’ otherwise?” Sometimes fish make noises or flap their fins in what could be a response. But I never understand what they’re saying. (But massive respect to Aquaman and Doctor Doolittle.) We evolved from a fish, though, so I think it’s worth saying “howdy,” just in case. I even speak to dead fish. Because who’s to say they aren’t “up there” watching, you know? Maybe that’s when they can finally communicate. Dead or alive, be nice to fish. For example, I recently found a washed up but very fresh canary rockfish (Sebastes pinniger). Naturally, I said, “Aw man, what killed you?” (No response.) Then I said, “Wow, you look prime! No hook wounds, no missing scales. (No response.) Then I said, “You are beautiful!” (And not even a “thank you.”) So I gutted the bastard. There were no obvious diseases or parasites. The fish just stared. It was apparently communicating in a secret language known only to its species. Sebastes pinniger is officially a species of Pacific rockfish. But seafood markets and restaurants often use incorrect names. Pacific rockfish are not “snappers” or “rock cod.” And you can enjoy seeing correctly labeled ones living at Humboldt State University’s Telonicher Marine Laboratory in Trinidad. Anyway, you can show your respect to fishes by not using fake names. Getting a canary rockfish mixed up with a red snapper is literally like getting your mother mixed up with a gibbon. You might argue that dragging a rockfish out of deep water is disrespectful. Sure, its eyes are bugging out and a gutty

sack thing sticks out of its mouth. But fishing is fun and rockfish are yummy. And I don’t hear them complaining. So why do rockfish bulge like that? Well, rockfish have a closed swim bladder with gas in it. It allows the fish to maintain neutral buoyancy so it can hover in one spot and behave like a rockfish rather than constantly swimming like a salmon with its open swim bladder, or sitting on its ass all day like a bladderless lingcod. So when a rockfish gets jerked from the depths, the swim bladder swells as the pressure decreases and the gas expands. If the rockfish you’ve just disrespected is too small or whatever, how do you release it alive with its innards poking out? Luckily, there’s a weighted gizmo called a “descender.” You attach the fish to it and sink it back to where it came from. This re-equalizes the pressure and its swim bladder re-becomes an innard. The fish love it so much it renders them speechless. How does a fish under the ocean get gas into its swim bladder? It has a thing called a “rete mirabile,” which means “wonderful net” in Latin. It’s a network of blood vessels that surrounds the swim bladder and pumps formerly-dissolved oxygen into it. (Don’t ask me how to pronounce “rete mirabile” because no one actually knows. The fish won’t tell us. And your fisheries professors are faking it.) If you’d like to talk to a rockfish without all the ugliness, juveniles can be seen rearing in our local tide pools. Saying “yoohoo” might get one’s attention. And if you want to talk to fish in an aquarium, you’ll have to shout at them to overcome the air/glass/water boundary. Try screaming, “WHAT’S UUUUUUP?!” at them. (But if you get bounced from the HSU Marine Lab, you don’t know me, OK?) ● Biologist Mike Kelly writes science-based satire as M. Sid Kelly.

Edward “Noel” Knauff was born to Madeline and Lewis Knauff on July 29th, 1938, in Buffalo, New York and passed from this life on July 2, 2019 at 4:20 pm during the Lunar Eclipse. Noel served with honor in the U.S. Army, as a paratrooper with the 101st Airborne, also known as “the devils in baggy pants,” from 1959 to 1964. He was a retired contractor and mason. His energy, talent, and zest for life, along with a gift for poetry and making people laugh, were matched only by his generosity and good will. Noel will be greatly missed by his wife, Renee, his children, Kevin and Sarah Patterson Knauff, Kelly Green Knauff, his adopted sons, Jade, Marco, Brody and Karin Forester Fales, his grandchildren, Alex, Brice, Nora, Juliette, and Kian Knauff, Gracen Messina, Macy McCormick Fales, and adopted grandson, Parker Duncan. His loss will be felt deeply by his many friends and family, especially, Heather Apostello Knauff, Nick Rhymes, Shelby McCormick, Heidi and Emerald Messina, and many, many other adopted family and friends too numerous to name. He is also survived by his brother, Joseph and Karen Knauff, nephew, Mark Knauff, his sister, Ann and Clarence Finkbiener, and nieces, Heidi, Jill and Trisha. A gathering of Noel’s family and friends will be held on July 28th, 2019 at 1 pm, at the Shelter Cove Lighthouse. Please join us for a potluck style meal and celebration in memory of Noel.

Free Will Astrology Week of July 25, 2019 By Rob Brezsny

Homework: Name something you could change about yourself that might enhance your love life. Testify at FreeWillAstrology.com.

freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): An Aries reader sent me a boisterous email. “I was afraid I was getting too bogged down by my duties,” he said, “too hypnotized by routine, too serious about my problems. So I took drastic action.” He then described the ways he broke out of his slump. Here’s an excerpt: “I gave laughing lessons to a cat. I ate a spider. I conducted a sneezing contest. I smashed an alarm clock with a hammer. Whenever an elderly woman walked by, I called out ‘Hail to the Queen!’ and did a backflip. I gave names to my spoon (Hortense), the table (Beatrice), a fly that was buzzing around (Fallon) and a toothpick (Arturo).” According to my analysis of the astrological omens, Aries, you’d be wise to stage a comparable uprising. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Welcome home, homegirls and homeboys. After observing all your homesteading in homes away from home, I’m pleased to see you getting curious about the real home brew again. I wonder how many times I’ll say the word “home” before you register the message that it’s high time for you to home in on some homemade, homegrown homework? Now here’s a special note to any of you who may be feeling psychologically homeless or exiled from your spiritual home: the coming weeks will be a favorable time to address that ache and remedy that problem. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The world is full of eternally restless people who seethe with confused desires they don’t understand. Fueled by such unfathomable urges, they are driven in unknown directions to accomplish fuzzy goals. They may be obsessed in ways that make them appear to be highly focused, but the objects of their obsession are impossible to attain or unite with. Those objects don’t truly exist! I have described this phenomenon in detail, Gemini, because the coming months will offer you all the help and support you could ever need to make sure you’re forever free of any inclination to be like that. CANCER (June 21-July 22): What would you say if I asked you to tell me who you truly are? I wouldn’t want to hear so much about your titles and awards. I’d be curious about your sacred mysteries, not your literal history. I’d want to know the treasured secrets you talk about with yourself before you fall asleep. I’d ask you to sing the songs you love and describe the allies who make you feel real. I’d urge you to riff on the future possibilities that both scare you and thrill you. What else? What are some other ways you might show me core truths about your irrepressible soul? Now is a good time to meditate on these riddles. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Isaac Asimov wrote a science fiction story about a physicist who masters time travel and summons William Shakespeare into the present time. The Bard enrolls in a night school class about his own plays — and proceeds to flunk the course. Modern ideas and modes of discourse are simply too disorienting to him. He is unable to grasp the theories that centuries’ worth of critics have developed about his work. With this as a cautionary tale, I invite you to time travel not four centuries into the future, but just 10 years. From that vantage point, look back at the life you’re living now. How would you evaluate and understand it? Do you have any constructive criticism to offer? Any insights that could help you plan better for your long-term future? VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to buy yourself toys, change your image for no rational reason, and indulge in an interesting pleasure that you have been denying yourself for no good reason. In addition, I hope you will engage in at least two heart-to-heart talks with yourself, preferably using funny voices and comical body language. You could also align yourself gracefully with cosmic rhythms by dancing more than usual, and by goofing off more than usual, and by wandering in the wilderness and

seeking to recapture your lost innocence more than usual. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Although you’ll never find an advertisement for Toyota or Coca-Cola or Apple within my horoscope column, you will find hype for spiritual commodities like creativity, love and freedom. Like everyone else, I’m a huckster. My flackery may be more ethical and uplifting than others’, but the fact is that I still try to persuade you to “buy” my ideas. The moral of the story: Everyone, even the Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu, is selling something. I hope that what I’m saying here purges any reluctance you might have about presenting yourself and your ideas in the most favorable light. It’s high time for you to hone your sales pitch; to explain why your approach to life is so wise; to be a forceful spokesperson and role model for the values you hold dear. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You are growing almost too fast, but that won’t necessarily be a problem — as long as you don’t expect everyone around you to grow as fast as you. I suspect that you also know almost too much — but I don’t anticipate that will spawn envy and resistance as long as you cultivate a bit of humility. I have an additional duty to report that you’re on the verge of being too attractive for your own good — although you have not yet actually reached the tipping point, so maybe your hyper-attractiveness will serve you rather than undermine you. In conclusion, Scorpio, I invite you to celebrate your abundance, but don’t flaunt it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The snow leopards of Central Asia crave a lot of room to wander. Zoologists say that each male prefers its territory to be about 84 square miles and each female likes to have 44 square miles. I don’t think you’ll require quite that vast a turf in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. But on the other hand, it will be important not to underestimate the spaciousness you’ll need in order to thrive. Give yourself permission to be expansive. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “I want to do things so wild with you that I don’t know how to say them.” Author Anaïs Nin wrote that in a letter to her Capricorn lover Henry Miller. Is there anyone you could or should or want to say something like that? If your answer is yes, now is a good time to be so candid and bold. If the answer is no, now would be a good time to scout around for a person to whom you could or should or want to say such a thing. And if you’d like to throw in a bit more enticement, here’s another seductive lyric from Anaïs: “Only the united beat of sex and heart together can create ecstasy.” AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Did you hear the story about the California mom who started a series of forest fires so as to boost her son’s career as a firefighter? She is an apt role model for behavior you should diligently avoid in the coming weeks. It’s unwise and unprofitable for you and yours to stir up a certain kind of trouble simply because it’s trouble that you and yours have become skilled at solving. So how should you use your problem-solving energy, which I suspect will be at a peak? I suggest you go hunting for some very interesting and potentially productive trouble that you haven’t wrangled with before — some rousing challenge that will make you even smarter than you already are. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The heroine of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass is curious, adventurous and brave. First she follows a well-dressed rabbit down a rabbit hole into an alternate universe. Later she slips through a mirror into yet another parallel reality. Both times, with great composure, she navigates her way through many odd, paranormal and unpredictable events. She enjoys herself immensely as she deals with a series of unusual characters and unfamiliar situations. I’m going to speculate that Alice is a Pisces. Are you ready for your very own Alice-in-Wonderland phase? Here it comes! ●
