NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Aug. 5, 2021 • northcoastjournal.com

y now, most have heard the ominous line from a leaked internal document of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control warning about the highly contagious Delta variant of COVID-19: “The war has changed.” A year ago, in the last week of July of 2020, Humboldt County recorded 28 new cases with a test-positivity rate of 2.6 percent, with a masking mandate firmly in place. Health orders shuttered entire sectors of the economy and restricted capacity in others, as school districts weighed bringing students back to classrooms. We watched the horizon with hope for an effective, safe vaccine. Fast forward to last week: Humboldt County confirmed 217 new COVID-19 cases with a test-positivity rate of 10.6 percent in one of the worst weeks of virus spread since the pandemic began. Meanwhile, the economy is fully reopened, if understaffed, with indoor dining and movie theaters operating unrestricted, and last year’s mask mandate replaced by a recommendation. And while science has delivered — giving us not one but three vaccines proven incredibly effective at preventing serious illness and death — our population has been slow to embrace it, with about a third of local eligible residents having not yet received a shot. (Another 12 percent of us — those under the age of 12 — are not yet eligible to be vaccinated.) Enter the Delta variant. Health officials warn it’s like COVID on steroids — twice as infectious and, a growing body of evidence indicates, resulting in more severe illness. Emerging data also suggests Delta is more likely to infect the fully vaccinated, though so-called breakthrough cases remain rare and resulting severe illness is even rarer. The war, quite clearly, has changed. This was apparent when the county announced July 29 that it would mandate facial coverings in county facilities the following morning. The move was not surprising — Humboldt County has among the worst case numbers in the state, bad enough to trigger the CDC’s universal masking recommendation. The county could have imposed a masking mandate for all in all public spaces. There’s a strong argument that would have been prudent. But the county’s explanation was telling: “The recent surge in cases in Humboldt County poses a real threat not only to our community, but also to the county’s own

ability to provide vital services.” The mask-mandate in county facilities is to protect their staff and the county’s ability to function. This is the world we’re left to navigate — each of us, as businesses, institutions, organizations, employees, families and individuals, making our own risk calculations while factoring in that some of us will continue to get sick and die, particularly the unvaccinated. And we come to grips with this amid the sobering realization that we’ll likely be living with COVID-19 for a long time. For many of us, that comes with anger and regret and disappointment. To call this surge in infections “a pandemic of the unvaccinated” feels wrong. Yes, data indicates those of us who are fully vaccinated are far less likely to need an oxygen tank or to die alone in an ICU, but we all feel the impacts of this pandemic — and the choices of our neighbors who choose not to vaccinate. We’ll worry about sending our young, unvaccinated kids to school or whether a case cluster will shutter our business. We’ll know even a mild case of the virus could leave us behind on rent or cost us a job. We’ll long for a true normal — practical and psychological — that’s out of reach. All while experiencing the collective trauma of preventable illness and death week after week after week. Of course, it doesn’t have to be this way. As has always been the case, each of us has some power to prevent spread of this virus — even its hopped-up Delta variant — but it takes all of us. Please, no matter your politics or personal risk calculations, do all you can. Talk to your healthcare provider about the vaccines. If you choose not to get vaccinated, recognize your neighbors are counting on you to follow health and safety protocols proven to prevent spread: masking in public, not mixing households, refraining from travel, distancing. You cannot responsibly engage in the return to the public life vaccination can bring us without vaccinating yourself. Even in terms of of self preservation, if you go into restaurants and gatherings unmasked and unvaccinated, there will be no herd immunity to protect you or those your infection will put in greater danger. Weigh your choices carefully. This war has changed but we still — each of us and all of us — have the power to prevent it from lasting forever. ●

Global Pandemic Plodding along now Like dinosaurs on parade, With no hands clapping. — Kirk Gothier

Golden Representation Editor: Simone Biles received a lot of coverage for her well-founded efforts to take care of her mental health. It did open up a spot for Sunisa Lee to shine as all Around gymnastics gold medalist, and America’s new golden girl as a result. Suni is Hmong American. Hmong tribes people originated in southeast China but were forced to southeast Asia as a result of persecution and genocide. The largest percentage are in Laos, but they are less than one in 10 even there. Laos has participated in seven Summer Olympics but has never won a medal. There are around one-third of a million Hmong people in the U.S., many

in Wisconsin and Minnesota. California, however, has the greatest Hmong population of any state, near 100,000. It’s great to see Suni Lee put yet another positive face on Asian Americans to counter Anti-Asian hate crimes (“The Awful Familiarity of Anti-Asian Violence,” March 25), and for her rise as a national star. John Dillon, Eureka

Intercontinental Kudos Editor: I just want to let you know how much I love Wendy Chan’s contributions to the Journal (most recently, “Tomato and Egg Stir-Fry,” July 29). I lived in Humboldt County for 15

years, between 1982 and 2000, first earning my BA and MA at Humboldt State University, then practicing law in Eureka and Arcata, after earning my law degree at University of Oregon. For a while, I had the best office in Humboldt County: top floor Jacoby Storehouse, overlooking the Arcata Plaza. Terry Torgerson However, I’ve lived in Taiwan for the past 21 years, and still do, so I know Chinese food well, and it’s always a thrill to see dishes such as dragon boat rice, sesame noodles or fried egg and tomatoes, which are such a basic part of life on this side of the world, published over there in fantastic Humboldt County, in the always excellent North Coast Journal. Thanks for all your great work and thanks for publishing her pieces. They are totally authentic, terrific and greatly appreciated. I hope Wendy is doing well and enjoying life in Humboldt. It’s a secret dream of mine to someday move back, though I’m not sure my (Taiwanese) wife will go for it. That’s all. I just wanted to say thanks to the Journal and to Wendy. Chris Neumeyer, Taipei, Taiwan

‘Unnecessary and Wrong’

Editor: So counties and health officials are again thinking about requiring all people to wear masks regardless of vaccination status (A Pandemic of the Unvaccinated,” July 22). This is an unnecessary and wrong idea, because virtually every COVID death and hospitalization occurs in the unvaccinated. The numbers in your article bear this out: no deaths among the fully vaccinated, and only two of 222 hospitalizations! A better approach is to stop coddling the anti-vaxxers! If you refuse to be vaccinated, then you face the consequences. But don’t expect those of us who did the right thing personally and socially by getting vaccinated to cover for you. Our reward should be to live mask-free — and it can be your reward, too. As for those who can’t be vaccinated yet — like children under 12 — they can and should wear masks. Those whose health is compromised even after getting jabbed, by all means mask up. Those of you are vaccinated but fear the newest mutation, feel free to wear a mask. But leave the rest of us alone! Richard Sanborn, Bayside

‘Witnessing the Collapse’

Officials warn of cascading crises facing Pacific salmon By Elaine Weinreb

newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

magine six or seven thirsty people sitting in a hot room around a small table, at the center of which sits only one medium-sized glass of water. Who gets to drink? If everybody takes a single swallow and passes it on, there could be enough to temporarily quench everyone’s thirst. Unfortunately, this is not likely to happen. Several of the people claim that they have a right to all or most of the water, and if there isn’t enough for everybody else, too bad. It’s especially frightening for one member of the group who has no voice, and can’t speak her needs. She was shunted aside the last time this happened and is now close to death. She has many names, but in English she is called Salmon. A Everything deeply troubledfor groupthe of high-ranking state officials, tribal leaders, environmentalists and fishermen met July 27 to discuss the triple whammy that is threatening some species of Pa-

cific salmon with extinction — a combination of record-breaking heat, drought and disastrous federal water policies — particularly those of the Trump administration, which drained mountain reservoirs of cold water, sending it to the Central Valley. The lengthy online hearing, appropriately entitled “California’s Salmon Fisheries in Crisis: Historic Drought, Low Flows and Dead Fish,” was sponsored by the state Senate Joint Committee on Fisheries and Aquaculture chaired by North Coast state Sen. Mike McGuire. The hearing featured a dozen or so speakers who testified about unprecedented conditions facing the state’s rivers and, by turn, salmon. “Salmon are an incredibly hardy species,” said McGuire. “Salmon have

migrated [to the ocean] from the cold water of the California streams and mountain rivers for centuries. They overcome great odds to return to their home streams, their birthplace, to lay their eggs and start the process of that great migration over again. … But today we’re witnessing the collapse of that iconic species right in front of our eyes.” Baby salmon need cold water to survive and stay healthy. Usually, in the spring, the Sierra snow pack gradually melts and fills rivers, lakes and streams in northern and eastern California with enough cold water to keep the larger rivers — such as the Klamath and the Sacramento — at tolerable temperatures. This year, however, the snow pack had vanished by early June. And the ice-

melt did not flow into the creeks and rivers but instead sunk into the parched soil, which had been baked from unprecedented heat waves. “The river is facing some of the most terrible conditions in history — conditions so bad on the Klamath that nearly every fish is infected with heat-loving parasites. So hot that it’s going to be too risky to let a single baby fish swim downstream from Iron Gate Hatchery,” said McGuire. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has done what it could to help the situation, said Director Chuck Bonham, making a “hard decision” to evacuate the hatchery on the Klamath River and move the baby fish to a facility on the Trinity River, and hold them Continued on page 15»

there hoping for better conditions in the fall when they could be transported back to the Klamath and released. But Bonham said the fish face an onslaught of challenges. “What is different now is the rapidity with which these extreme events are compounded, creating a cascading effect, a domino effect, that results in species losing the space in which they can rebound,” he said. Eileen Sobeck, executive director of the State Water Resources Control Board, said we are in the third driest water-year in the last century. In the Klamath water basin, which includes the Scott and Shasta rivers, precipitation levels are half of normal across the basin. The Scott is experiencing the fourth driest year on record, and the Shasta the lowest on record. In response to these conditions, Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency in April, initially affecting only two river basins but which has since grown to apply to 50 out of California’s 58 counties. The State Water Board in March issued notice to 40,000 water rights holders throughout the state, urging them to plan for potential shortages. Users in the Delta, the Scott River watershed and the Russian River watershed received similar notices in June. The board has done much public outreach, and is now circulating draft emergency regulations about water curtailment. Still, Sobeck said, the board has “not been conservative enough to address the current situation.” She also noted that there was a problem in monitoring real-time compliance with the curtailment orders. Bonham worried about the coming year — and the one after that, if this is indeed a mega-drought. He explained that dramatic hatchery rescues were not a reasonable long-term solution to an ongoing problem. He also wondered what would happen if the drought becomes so severe that public health and safety concerns have to compete against the survival of the fish. Yurok Tribal Chair Joseph James emphasized the importance of salmon to his people’s culture and economy. “We are in a crisis, a full-blown emergency, here on the Klamath River,” he said. “We are losing our salmon. They are everything to us. Our children’s future depends on it. ... Our culture and economy have been impacted by the loss of fish. Our river is now poisoned with toxic algae. Fathers and mothers can’t pass on their knowledge about fishing without fish. ... The Klamath River

is who we are. It is our lifeline. It is our livelihood.” He noted that the Yurok Tribe has a recognized right to fish and that comes with a senior water right, giving them the right to have the quantity and quality of water necessary to support fisheries. However, the Klamath River crosses two states — California and Oregon — and James asserts that the river is being damaged by Oregon’s water policies. “We can’t pin all the blame on Mother Nature,” said Russell “Buster” Attebery, chair of the Karuk Tribe. “The Klamath Basin is over-allocated. The federal Klamath irrigation project over-allocated water in the early 20th century, thinking that the weather patterns of that era would persist. We all know that was a faulty assumption and there is no endless water supply. “This is the most disastrous year I’ve ever experienced in my lifetime,” he continued. “State and federal agencies have failed to establish a minimum in-stream flow necessary to protect the fisheries. State and federal agencies have failed to regulate groundwater pumping, enforce existing laws and protect our tribal culture.” Other speakers described the devastating impacts of declining salmon populations upon both the commercial and the sports fishing industries. The inland sports fishing industry, described as an economic engine for the interior, is in danger of total collapse. Several speakers associated with environmental organizations agreed that bad policy and inadequately-funded state agencies were responsible for many of the problems. “We need alternatives to taking more water from the rivers,” said Kate Poole of the National Resources Defense Council. “We can recycle much of our water.” Attebery wrapped his remarks by thanking Newsom and the Biden administration for their help, and pushing those in attendance to make sure one project decades in the making comes to fruition. “We must continue to work together to see the dam removal across the finish line,” he said. “That’s the single greatest thing we can do to advance fishery restoration in the Klamath.” l Elaine Weinreb (she/her) is a freelance journalist. She tries to re-pay the state of California for giving her a degree in environmental studies and planning (Somona State university) at a time when tuition was still affordable.

o understand the abrupt aboutface in masking recommendations from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the state of California and Humboldt County Public Health, you have to take a hard look into what happened in Barnstable County, Massachusetts. Entering the Fourth of July weekend, it looked like Barnstable County largely had COVID-19 under control. Nearly three in four eligible county residents were fully vaccinated, with 82 percent having received at least one shot. On July 3, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health reported Barnstable County, which has a population of about 213,000, had a 14-day average of zero new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 residents per day. In short, things looked promising. But in the ensuing two weeks, according to the CDC, “multiple summer events and large public gatherings were held” and cases quickly followed. In all, the CDC report traces 469 cases back to Massachusetts residents who attended those events and gatherings, though local officials say the total case count is well north of 800. Of the cases the CDC tracked, 74 percent were traced back to fully vaccinated people. Of those breakthrough cases, almost 80 percent were symptomatic, with patients most commonly reporting coughs, headaches, sore throats, muscle pain and

fever. Five hospitalizations were tied to the case cluster, including four fully vaccinated individuals, two of whom had underlying medical conditions. Genomic sequencing from the case cluster found two things of note. First, nearly 90 percent of the cases were the highly contagious Delta variant, which health officials have described as the 2020 version of COVID-19 on steroids and now accounts for 85 percent of all new cases in the United States. Then, alarmingly, the sequencing indicated fully-vaccinated breakthrough patients carried a similar viral load — or the amount of virus present in a sample, an indicator of how much virus an infected individual is shedding and therefore of how contagious they are — as their unvaccinated counterparts. The report also notes that asymptomatic spread among the fully vaccinated might be underrepresented. Even in a preliminary form, the data was considered a game changer, according to internal CDC documents leaked to the Washington Post, and reportedly spurred officials to take immediate action even before the data’s official July 30 release. Specifically, the CDC issued a recommendation that everyone — regardless of vaccination status — resume masking in indoor public spaces in areas of “high” or “substantial virus spread,” which includes Humboldt County (read more on page 21). That recommendation was quickly followed by

ones from the California Department of Public Health and the county of Humboldt. CDC Director Rochelle Walensky told Fox News that the data from Massachusetts was supplemented with that of other studies from around the world and that “the trends seem clear.” But Walensky stressed that vaccination continues to protect against serious disease and death, pointing to data indicating that of 164 million fully vaccinated Americans, only 6,239 (0.0038 percent) have subsequently been hospitalized with the virus. “If you are vaccinated, you are protected from severe illness,” she said. In Humboldt County, two of 236 COVID-19 hospitalizations and none of the 54 associated deaths have been confirmed in fully vaccinated individuals, and the county reported that about 25 percent of samples that underwent genomic sequencing in June came back as the Delta variant. But data on both breakthrough cases and local prevalence of the Delta variant remain severely limited. At a July 21 press conference, Health Officer Ian Hoffman explained that reporting real-time data on breakthrough cases is simply infeasible due to staffing limitations, noting that such information has to be attained through contact investigations and then verified, while staff is struggling to keep up with other data collection and reporting functions. “We collect tremendous amounts of data on COVID every day,” he said. “It’s already a tremendous amount of work.” Similarly, he said that while the Public Health Laboratory has begun in-house

genomic sequencing, it’s a lengthy process. But Hoffman said as local trends come into focus, Public Health will report them out to the community. What is very clear is local case numbers are spiking sharply and now rival those of any period to date in the pandemic. In the week before the Journal went to press, the county confirmed 280 new COVID-19 cases with a test-positivity rate of 10.4 percent, which far outpaces the national average of 7.8 percent, 11 new hospitalizations and one death of a resident in their 30s. On Aug. 3, the city of Eureka also reported that samples taken from its wastewater collection facility as a part of a nationwide COVID-19 tracking program show virus concentration levels higher than 99 percent of other samples from across the nation. “This new local data, including both rising case counts and now the wastewater testing results, are cause for concern,” Hoffman said in a press release. “Everyone must continue to do their part to protect themselves and each other.” Hoffman has previously said that spiking case counts alone are unlikely to trigger additional local mitigation measures like business closures or mandatory masking, which he said would only be implemented as a last resort if hospital capacity becomes threatened. According to a statewide database, 20 local residents were hospitalized with COVID-19 as the Journal went to press Aug. 3, including seven under intensive care. Locally, health officials and physicians continue to urge vaccination as the best

way for individuals to protect themselves and prevent COVID-19’s spread. In an Aug. 3 press release, Hoffman urged residents to take safety precautions in their everyday lives and to limit gatherings outside their households given the rise of the Delta variant. “Everyone is frustrated that this is moving backwards given all the progress made,” he said. “Think about what level of risk you can tolerate, what makes sense for yourself, your family, when deciding what activities to continue in public.” In Facebook post July 30 — the same day the county reported a single-day record 69 new COVID-19 cases — First District Supervisor Rex Bohn urged his followers to take the virus and mitigation measures seriously, saying he’d just spoken with Roberta Luskin-Hawk, the CEO of St. Joseph Health. “She is scared,” Bohn wrote, adding she feels the next four to six weeks will be pivotal. “The fear I heard in her voice was real. They have 16 hospitalized right now [and] with our highest case count today since this started, we are in troubled waters. … There are staffing shortages at the hospital which is going to affect other care and needs. I am vaccinated. I am scared. I am going to do better with my masking, be more aware of others and pray for all of us.” l Thadeus Greenson (he/him) is the Journal’s news editor.

CDC Urges Humboldt to Mask Up

he U.S. Centers for Disease Control recently issued new guidance recommending that everyone — regardless of vaccination status — resume wearing masks in public, indoor spaces in areas with “high” or “substantial” rates of COVID-19 transmission, which includes Humboldt County. While cases of severe illness, hospitalization and death in fully vaccinated individuals remain very rare, officials say they are seeing increased rates of socalled “breakthrough” cases amid a surge in the more contagious Delta variant, which now accounts for 85 percent of cases nationally. As such, the CDC is urging fully vaccinated people to consider again masking in public to help prevent the virus’ spread, particularly if they live with someone who is immunocompromised, has underlying health conditions that put them at elevated risk of severe disease or is not fully vaccinated. “Infections happen in only a small proportion of people who are fully vaccinated, even with the Delta variant,” the CDC reported. “However, preliminary evidence suggests that fully vaccinated people who do become infected with the Delta variant can spread the virus to others.” The CDC defines areas of “high” transmission as those that have recorded more than 100 new cases per 100,000 in

population over the past seven days with a test-positivity rate higher than 10 percent, and areas of “substantial” transmission as those with 50 to 99.99 new cases per 100,000 in population and a test positivity rate of 8 percent or higher over the prior week. According to the CDC’s data, Humboldt County saw 123.19 new COVID-19 cases confirmed per 100,000 residents over the seven-day period ending July 24 with a test-positivity rate of 8.42 percent, which would place the county between the “high” and “substantial” designations but nonetheless trigger the masking recommendation. The county’s dashboard, meanwhile, is more up to date and painted an even grimmer picture as this issue of the Journal went to press, showing the county having recorded 198 new cases per 100,000 residents and a test-positivity rate of 10.5 percent, which would place the county firmly in an area the CDC considers be “high” transmission. Humboldt County’s numbers also outpace the state and nation. Nationwide, the CDC reported an average of 119.8 cases confirmed per 100,000 in population with a test-positivity rate of 7.61 percent, per the CDC. California, meanwhile, has recorded 83.3 new cases with a test-positivity rate of 5.4 percent.

After a brief and much anticipated reopening, the Logger Bar, Blue Lake’s iconic watering hole, has shut its doors once again. Owner Kate Martin, who’d closed the bar for more than a year before talking excited with the Journal about its reopening last month, closed the bar “due to the sharp increase of COVID-19 cases,” saying it no longer “feels in the best interest of our community to stay open.” Read more at www. northcoastjournal.com. POSTED 08.03.21 Local officials issued a recommendation for all county residents — including those fully vaccinated — to resume using facial coverings in indoor, public settings on July 23. Nationwide, health officials continue to report that fully vaccinated individuals account for an incredibly small number of hospitalizations and deaths. Locally, just two of 233 hospitalizations and none of

the county’s 53 deaths have been confirmed to be in fully vaccinated individuals. Humboldt County Public Health continues to host free vaccination clinics at various locations. For more information or to sign up for an appointment, visit www. myturn.ca.gov. — Thadeus Greenson POSTED 07.28.21 Read the full story online.

Kokatat Sold: After 50 years of owning Kokatat, Steve O’Meara has sold the Arcata-based paddling sports apparel and gear company to its director of operations, Mark Loughmiller. According to a press release, O’Meara will retain a minor stake in the company he founded in 1971 as a way to help people stay dry while traversing Humboldt County’s waterways.

New Councilmember: The Arcata City Council has selected Meredith Matthews to serve the remainder of former Mayor Sofia Pereira’s term. An administrative specialist with the Redwood Coast Energy Authority, Matthews steps into the seat Pereira vacated when being named the county’s public health director. Matthews is expected to be sworn in Aug. 18, with her term running through November of 2022.

DOD Mandates Vaccinations: The U.S. Department of Defense announced July 29 that it will require all civilian employees and military personnel to show proof of vaccination or wear a mask and provide regular COVID-19 test results. Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Jamal Brown called COVID-19 a “significant and evolving threat to our nation’s security,” with the Delta variant making protective efforts “all the more vital.”

ON THE COVER

DOUBLING DOWN The Best of Humboldt 2021

K, when we started the nomination and voting for the Best of Humboldt 2021, we thought of it as a kind of do-over after 2020. Turns out we’re not out of the woods yet on the pandemic and its attending troubles. But we’re still betting on Humboldt, doubling down, in fact. Flipping and scrolling through this list of winners, nominated and voted into their top spots, you get a look at what we’ve got here to be proud of, to enjoy and protect. The folks who took care of our pets, aided our elders, fixed our busted radiators, delivered our takeout and fed those in need during the last year did all of it under tough circumstances. And the little things — the smiling eyes from the person who made your sandwich, a little help at the hardware store — meant even more. So we’re all in, pushing our pile of chips into the pot and betting on the best of us and the best in us to pull together and preserve the businesses, people and delightful oddities of our county. Though, to be honest, seeing the jail voted the Best Place to Meet Singles makes us wonder if we’re ready to get all the way back out there. But what the hell — put it all on Humboldt.

Best Buffet: Tandoori Bites I regret to inform you that although Tandoori Bites Indian Cuisine won Best Buffet in Humboldt County, it no longer has a buffet on offer. (And to be honest, the buffet will not be coming back anytime soon. These are COVID times, people!) But fret not! Tandoori Bites has introduced a lunch special to make up for the buffet. Patrons can choose between the meat or vegetarian options, which includes three different thalis (menu is set for the day and is subject to change) with a side of basmati

rice, garlic naan and salad. However, if you’re truly missing the buffet-style Tandoori Bites cuisine, just do what I do almost every other week and order a whole bunch of thalis to go and have a buffet at home (with leftovers!). This has become my family’s Friday night tradition since COVID began, eating thalis of delicious Tandoori Bites while watching a good show/movie. Ahh, my happy place. — Iridian Casarez

Best Vegan/Vegetarian Options: Wildflower Café and Bakery When my nephew and his vegan partner — avid hikers visiting from New York City — made their way to the North Coast a few years ago, I knew exactly where I was going to take them: Wildflower Café and Bakery in Arcata. As she perused the menu, her eyes grew wide. Too often accustomed to being relegated to one or two options, before her was such an array of choices she could hardly decide what to order. Now, to be clear, Wildflower Cafe is not just the realm of vegans and vegetarians. Anyone with an appreciation of good food — with as much as possible locally sourced — and a healthy appetite is

going to find a new favorite amid offerings that include everything from blueberry and brie pancakes and breakfast burritos to stir-fry and nachos piled so high you think you might never find the bottom. By the time we sat down for breakfast that day, my East Coast niece-in-law had already been dazzled by the redwoods forests and awed by region’s rugged coastline. But on that morning, far from home, this vegan found a place where she belonged among the Wildflower Café. — Kimberly Wear

Best Milkshake: Toni’s 24 Hour Restaurant Real talk, I’m not much of a milkshake guy. I mean, they’re fine, but not something I’m jumping to order, generally preferring a slice of pie or even a simple cone. But that all goes out the window when making a family run to Toni’s 24 Hour Restaurant, in which case I’m ordering a milkshake. Every. Single. Time. Why, you ask? Because Toni’s has captured the majestic combination of peanut butter and chocolate in milkshake form. If you, like me, are prone to eating a jumbo sleeve of Reece’s peanut butter cups without sharing or dipping that milk chocolate bar directly into a jar of

peanut butter, you simply have to try the peanut butter and chocolate shake from Toni’s. They take rich, chocolate ice cream and blend in real peanut butter, leaving a chocolate shake streaked with peanut butter rivers. Every once in a while, a glob of peanut butter will clog your straw but if you persist, you will be rewarded by a blast of creamy, peanut butter chocolatyness that will remind you life is good. I’m told their other shakes are delicious, too. My partner is partial to the vanilla malt, my daughter strawberry. Me? I’ll just take their word for it. Thadeus Greenson

Best Karaoke: Richards’ Goat Tavern & Tea Room Is this thing on? When Mr. Bennett of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice said, “For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbors, and laugh at them in our turn?” the sentiment uncannily foretold the joys of karaoke. Add to that laughter the unconditional applause and woo-hoo-ing, the singing along to the most tenacious earworm. Oh, how I’ve missed scrolling the songbook to belt out power ballads with my neighbors. To the miraculous bonding of friends and strangers add the wonder of Richards’ Goat Tavern and Tea Room wresting the Best Karaoke title from the powerhouse casinos. How did this comparatively small venue woo the karaoke faithful — theater kids, secret singers

and that one friend who pretends to be reluctant but is actually dying to bust out Missy Elliott, which they absolutely will about a half a cocktail in — onto its stage? If you’re fully vaxxed, you can find out on Sunday nights — though the venue is aiming to add a Saturday for two nights, thus shrinking crowd size and upping the number of Stevie Nicks tunes I get to. There’s also a Plexiglas barrier, germicidal wipes for the mic and an industrial fan for air circulation. Be warned: That barrier will protect you from my aerosols but not my stirring rendition of “Landslide.” Bring a hankie. — Jennifer Fumiko Cahill

Best Local Sports Program: Humboldt Crabs Baseball Ah, the crack of the bat, a baseball soaring to the outfield and … (is it? will it? can it?) oh yeah, it’s over the fence and freeway bound, baby. Burgers and beer, Crabs hats and hoodies, kids running the bases on Sunday, you running into every single person you know in Humboldt. Yep, it’s a Crabs game. From the rowdy hecklers on the first base line and the World Famous Crab Grass Band honking out “Immigrant Song” and “Sweet Caroline” to the errant foul balls flying out onto F Street and the poor souls who don’t know (yet) to NEVER PARK THERE — not to mention posing for pics with Crusty, those Slice of Humboldt Pie 7th inning treats, and some of the best and coolest college athletes gracing us with their talent from June to August. There’s no finer time to be had than a Crabs game at the Arcata Ball Park. It’s no wonder you voted your Humboldt Crabs as Best Local Sports Program. Play ball! — Kali Cozyris

Let’s hear it for family owned and operated businesses! Fin-N-Feather Pet Shop has been serving your furry, feathered and scaly friends for more than 40 years (and has one of the best local jingles to boot). And you’ve voted them Best Pet Store. What sets them apart from the pack? Well, the good bois and gurls at Fin-N-Feather are knowledgeable and helpful and can point you in the right direction to find exactly what you need. And what you need, they have. Fin-N-Feather Pet Shop’s vast array of pets and pet supplies include tropical birds and fish, reptiles, rodents of adorable size and all the leashes, food, toys, treats and health products your pets need. They also offer tasty treats from The All Dogs Biscuit Bakery (hand-dipped Beg-Scottie, anyone?) and hold community events throughout the year, like the Fin-N-Feather Doggy Easter Biscuit Hunt. It’s easy to see why Fin-N-Feather Pet Shop is your pick of the litter. — Kali Coyzris

Best Veterinary Office: Myrtle Avenue Veterinary Hospital I recently had to make the extremely difficult decision to say goodbye to my dog. He grew up in SoCal and when my mom couldn’t keep him anymore, I made the decision to bring him to Humboldt County, where I took him on hikes, to the beach and ultimately established care at Myrtle Avenue Veterinary Hospital. In January, he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in his shoulder and throughout his diagnosis, the entire staff at Myrtle Ave Vet was extraordinarily helpful and kind. Anytime I had questions about his diagnosis or medications, a vet was always there to help. When I struggled and questioned whether it was time to say goodbye, one of the vets took the time out of her extremely busy schedule to help me find my answer. When it was time to say goodbye, they accommodated everything my family wanted and needed. (I even brought slabs of clay to get his paw prints and Myrtle Ave Vet said, “Don’t worry, we’ve got this.” And returned beautiful paw prints.) I have always had great experiences during my visits there, so I’m super happy that Myrtle Ave Vet has been named Best Veterinary Clinic in Humboldt County for 2021. It is truly deserving. — Iridian Casarez

COVID-19

Food for People

BEST COVID-RELATED COMMUNITY SUPPORT GROUP

Back in March of 2020, Food for People was struck a devastating blow when a sewer backup caused tens of thousands of dollars in food losses and damage to its main building just as the COVID-19 pandemic was hitting, leaving more and more community members facing food insecurity. Even without a headquarters, the nonprofit, which serves 12,000 individuals a month through a network of 17 food pantries and other services, including child and senior nutrition programs, quickly stepped up to the challenge and met a surging need for its services amid COVID-19. And the community noticed, with Journal readers naming Food for People not just Best Local Cause and Best Local Nonprofit but also Best COVID-related Community Support Group. Now, as Food for People begins undertaking an expansion of services and rebuilding the Eureka site, the nonprofit that has provided a safety net for so many over more than 40 years is itself in need of a helping hand.

Best Place to Get Gifts for Your Wedding Party:

Good Relations’s owner Melinda Myers Photo by Mark McKenna

Good Relations

Used to be if you were chosen to stand up for a loved one at their wedding, your thanks for attending multiple fittings for the pricey matching outfit you are never wearing again was a great party, a grateful newlywed and maybe an engraved flask or silver frame. But unless folks overwhelmingly misunderstood the category title as shower/bachelor/bachelorette party gifts for the people getting married, for which Good Relations is a solid standard, being in a Humboldt wedding is hot stuff. Maybe it’s not a misunderstanding — maybe the corsage and boutonniere crowd really does toddle off after a night of chicken dancing and cake with a goodie bag full of good vibes. Apart from the back corner’s accoutrements, the place is packed with lingerie and slinky things for all genders in a range of sizes to shame the internet. It even has playful and sparkly masks of both the COVID and kinky variety. Actually, given that Good Relations has also once again won the Best Hobby Shop and done a brisk business during lockdown, maybe you readers just know how to have a good time. — Jennifer Fumiko Cahill

Don’t call it a comeback but for the second time in three years Monty Mifflin has clawed his way back to the top of Humboldt County budtending. Mifflin, who came out of nowhere to edge out 2018 champ Michelle Seelye to take the Journal’s 2019 Best Budtender crown, had fallen out of the budtending game entirely last year, having left the Heart of Humboldt to purSubmitted sue other opportunities. But the skunky call pulled him back in and last year he started training for a return. But budtending is a fickle game and Heart of Humboldt informed Mifflin it no longer had a roster spot open, spurring the savvy vet to join forces with the Humboldt Patient Resource Center, a perennial contender looking to retool its lineup. The results speak for themselves, with Mifflin once again holding the crown of Humboldt County’s best budtender, becoming the only person in HumCo history to lift the proverbial trophy twice. Mariellen Jurkovich, HPRC’s executive director, says Mifflin, a Humboldt native, is so good at his job because he loves both people and cannabis. He connects with customers and is able to connect them with the stories behind the products, detailing where certain farms are located, their histories and farming practices. “He knows a lot of the growers so he’s able to tell those stories,” she said. “He’s telling a story and keeping that connection alive for Humboldt.”

Does the phrase “We need to talk” sound better followed by “at the Hatchet House?” Probably not. Then again, the ax-throwing spot didn’t win Best Place to Get Dumped; it won best place to do the dumping. I kind of get it. Breaking up is emotionally taxing. It might be cathartic to let it all out throwing those hatchets — two-hand a few, if it makes you feel better. And who’s going to try to change your mind or gaslight you as you heft a lumberjack’s blade and hurl it at a wooden target? Once you’ve let fly all that stress and shoulder tension, you can clink pints and call yourselves friends. If nothing else, it’s as Humboldt as running into your now ex at the co-op. Which you’re 100 percent going to do. You might want to book a little ax-throwing time after that, too. Starting Oct. 1, Hatchet House moves to the former home of Pacific Outfitters at 737 G St., where there will be room for larger groups and more games, in case you’re looking for more of a cornhole breakup. — Jennifer Fumiko Cahill

Zucchini, tomatoes and carrots on the side

One F Street, eureka Ca • 707.443.7489

By Simona Carini

onthetable@northcoastjournal.com

NCJ WHAT’S GOOD

did it again: In the spring, blinded by dreams of zucchini and their golden blossoms, I planted two seedlings in my raised bed (the land of experiments, I call it). As I write, I have harvested two small zucchini from one plant. And my dream is destined to end there. Fortunately, the zucchini harvest is plentiful elsewhere and there is a steady supply at the farmers market, so I am not devastated. And I don’t despair completely about my ability to grow food — my lettuce plants are doing well and provide me with plenty of leaves for dinner salads. My indoor basil plant is also doing well. Planted last year, it overwintered and keeps offering me aromatic leaves to pick. A few lettuce plants and a pot of basil don’t make me a gardener, but the more I experiment, the more I realize it all comes down to finding the right spot, which is true for plants as well as humans. Every year, as zucchini season gets under way, I think about my mother’s top recipes: zucchini frittata and zucchini with tomato sauce and grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. As children, neither my brother nor I liked the vegetable. In time, my taste changed and as an adult, for years I gave my mother satisfaction when she brought a zucchini dish to the table. In fact, she had to factor in my eating at least two portions when she cooked. Given my Italian roots, I use the word zucchini loosely. To be precise, the term refers to some varieties of summer squash: green zucchini, yellow zucchini and Costata Romanesco. Other varieties of summer squash are yellow, zephyr and pattypan squash. Nearly all summer squashes belong to the species Cucurbita pepo, though not all Cucurbita pepo are considered summer squashes (for example, pumpkins). Plentiful as summer squash may be, the season does not officially begin for me until tomatoes ripen. I happily eat old favorites and try new-to-me varieties I encounter at the farmers market. A

Making the most of the summer’s zucchini and tomatoes. Photo by Simona Carini

bowl of bite-sized tomatoes sits on the kitchen counter during the season, ready to answer mid-morning or mid-afternoon snacking needs. The dish on this page is rather quick to prepare and satisfies the palate with its blend of summer flavors. To the usual base of onion and garlic, I add carrot, zucchini and small tomatoes (grape, cherry or cherry plums). The harissa spice mix provides a bit of heat and grated cheese crowns the dish. P.S. If you’ve still got plenty of zucchini, visit the North Coast Journal’s online archive for my recipe for zucchini tart, which requires more time investment but offers an excellent return (“Zucchini Days of Summer,” July 18, 2019).

Zucchini, Carrot and Tomato Side Dish I particularly like the Costata Romanesco variety of zucchini, which works well in this recipe. Serves 2-3. Ingredients: 3 ounces carrot, peeled 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 ounces red onion, diced small 1/8-¼ teaspoon harissa spice mix (depending on brand and personal preference) 8-9 ounces zucchini or other summer squash 3 garlic cloves, minced 5 ounces cherry, cherry plum or grape tomatoes 3-4 basil leaves, rolled and sliced into a fine chiffonade ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt, or to taste

¾ ounce grated cheese of choice (for example, Parmigiano-Reggiano, sweet cheddar, gouda) Grate the carrot using the largest holes on a hand grater. Warm the olive oil in 10-inch skillet on medium heat. Add the onion, lower the heat to medium-low and stir. After 1 minute, add the grated carrot and stir. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring often. Then sprinkle in the harissa spice mix, stir well and cover. Cook covered on low heat for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft. While the onion and carrot are cooking, trim the ends from the zucchini and grate it using the same large hole on your grater. Uncover the skillet, add the garlic, stir and cook for 1 minute. Add the zucchini, turn the heat up to medium, stir well and cook for 1 minute. Cover and cook over low heat for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, quarter the tomatoes (halve the truly small ones). Uncover the skillet, add the tomatoes and stir. Cover and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender. Sprinkle in the basil and the sea salt, and stir well. Turn off the heat, sprinkle the cheese on the vegetables and cover. Let sit for a 2-3 minutes until the cheese is softened, then serve. l Simona Carini (she/her) also writes about her adventures in the kitchen on her blog www.pulcetta.com and shares photographs on https://www.instagram. com/simonacarini.

rcata Ball Park has seen its fair share of excitement over the summer and this week was no exception. A winning streak extended to 11 games, pitchers took to the field as position players, a player sang the national anthem and a home run record fell as the season started to wind down for the Humboldt Crabs. The week started off with a glorious Tuesday night at the ball park, featuring a sunset straight out of a classic baseball movie and home runs courtesy of the Crabs Ethan Fischel and Gabe Giosso on the way to a 15-2 victory over the visiting Prescott Roadrunners. Once again, the Crabs took a convincing win behind reliable pitching backed up by the strength of their bats. Adam Walker started the game for the Crabs, striking out 10 batters and giving up just two runs while Fischel and Giosso powered in eight combined runs for the team. Tuesday was also the day that the Crabs said goodbye to their usual Sunday starting pitcher Owen Stevenson as the freshman was offered an opportunity to

play in the prestigious Cape Cod League for the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox for the remainder of the summer. Stevenson pitched extremely well for the Crabs this season, finishing with a .692 ERA and striking out 49 batters. “Honestly, just a great experience,” Stevenson said Tuesday night about his time with the Crabs. “I loved every moment of it. The Crabs, just the team atmosphere was awesome. The coaches were great. The fans were great. I was able to just kind of gain some confidence from Guiver allowing me to go out every Sunday, establish my routine and get into a groove. And once I got that groove, I was able to figure a lot of things out pitching-wise. And I think that’s where most of my success came from was having that routine every week. Even working with the trainers, too. The trainers helped me so much.” Crabs Manager Robin Guiver was understandably bummed to see Stevenson go, but happy to see the opportunity that the young pitcher has to play in a league that has seen more than 1,400 players

go on to play in the MLB over the years, including current big names such as Aaron Judge and Pete Alonso. “Owen has been as good as any pitcher we’ve had all summer,” Guiver said. “And I supported him leaving. Getting a chance to pitch in the Cape Cod is a huge deal. If it was me or my kids, I’d want to do it. That’s about the only place I’d be OK with him leaving to go.” Wednesday was yet another Crabs win over the Roadrunners, headlined by a Josh Lauck grand slam and yet another Fischel bomb to secure the victory behind starting pitcher Caleb Ruiz. The pregame buildup also featured the Crabs’ own Tyler Ganus singing the national anthem with his family on the field beside him. Ganus, who is a music major at the University of Oregon in addition to being a baseball player and actor, was applauded by fans, teammates and family after his performance. Lauck’s grand slam was his first hit after coming back into the lineup after having his finger cut by a spike during a game. The outfielder was happy to be back on the field doing what he does best for the Crabs. “First hit back, there’s nothing like it,” Lauck said. “You have a little clouded mind when you come back a little bit. And it’s been a couple weeks since you hit. So that at bat, I was just like, ‘Let’s just clear it.’ ... It felt good. It was awesome.” The Crabs rolled off two more wins to start the weekend against the Fresno A’s, who unfortunately came into town missing a significant portion of their roster due to a COVID-19 outbreak among the

team earlier in July. The Crabs wrapped the series on Sunday in a game that saw the wood bat team home run record fall. Andrew Allanson hit one to tie the record and Eureka High School alum Aidan Morris did the honors of breaking the record by hitting the teams 41st home run. “It was cool to see Aidan get it,” Guiver said after Sunday’s game. “Andrew Allanson had a big one, too. Aidan was our eighth hitter and Andrew was our fifth hitter today and they’re hitting home runs, so it just kind of shows the depth we have in our lineup. We can leave the yard anywhere in our lineup, which is fun for us, not so fun for the other pitcher.” With only one more week remaining in the season, players have already begun to think about returning to their schools and, for Fischel, who grew up watching the Crabs play, to enjoy the last handful of games as a team. “One hundred percent everything I could have dreamed of as a kid watching the Crabs,” Fischel said. “Being at those ball games on Friday nights or Saturday nights. I couldn’t probably come midweek because it was school nights. But it’s everything I could have dreamed of, playing out here in front of the fans and with my teammates. I love it. I love it so far and we’ll see about next summer, but I’m just going to enjoy the moment right now, that’s for sure.” l Thomas Lal (he/him) is a freelance writer and photographer based in Humboldt. northcoastjournal.com • Thursday, Aug. 5, 2021 • NORTH COAST JOURNAL

FRONT ROW

Slings and Arrows

After a 16-month wait, NCRT’s Hamlet triumphs at last By David Jervis

frontrow@northcoastjournal.com Abraham Greene and Jordan Keith Dobbins in Hamlet. Courtesy of North Coast Repertory Theatre

ou may know more lines from William Shakespeare’s Hamlet off the top of your head than you think you even do; it’s just that great packed with excellent lines and modern society is just that full of people who want to sound smart at work meetings. It’s a magnificent play of the bard’s but also a dark one. Still, what a perfect one for the North Coast Repertory Theatre to lead us at least partway out of the dark. Hamlet, after all, was what NCRT had up and ready to go in March of last year as part of its regular season. When shelter in place came down, it got the deep-six, like all live entertainment, from the onrush of COVID-19 (“Not to Be,” March 26, 2020). In what feels like a gesture of unflappability, it’s where NCRT has picked up again after 16 months. How could it not be? It’s not a production on which you just throw in the towel. So to see it staged is to see a triumph — all hail to them. And it was worth the wait — and the proof of vaccination or negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours required at the door. This production is basically an all-star cast of local theater talent. And

under the fine direction of David Hamilton (NCRT’s Tartuffe, Richard III, The Tempest) roars back to the stage. Early in the first act of the play, the ghost of Hamlet’s father (Abraham Greene) appears to him on the ramparts of the Danish royal castle Elsinore, having already revealed himself to a pair of sentries and to Horatio (Alexandra Blouin), Hamlet’s friend and confidant. Hamlet (Jordan Keith Dobbins), still mourning his father’s death and chaffing under the leadership of his uncle, King Claudius (Erik Rez), is told by his father’s ghost that Claudius murdered him. Cladius has also hastily remarried the king’s widow, Queen Gertrude (Andrea Zvaleko), about a move over which Hamlet still fumes. Urged by his father’s ghost, Hamlet sets out on a course of revenge to kill Claudius. This plot will involve Hamlet feigning a slow descent into madness, confiding only in Horatio. What follows is a densely plotted game of royal treachery and deception, with some of the prince’s actions — such as his shunning of the affections of young Ophelia (Caroline McFarland) — even unclear to the audience at times. This all builds up slowly to a play within the play to smoke out the

villain, revelation and violence The young Danish prince is a dream role but a daunting one that works in a lot of pitches, including a put-on of madness. Staggering is the amount of dialogue alone, both with many other actors and in soliloquies to the audience over the course of well over two hours. Jordan Keith Dobbins, last seen onstage at NCRT as Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar, and before that in Cabaret, more than rises to the occasion here in an excellent, wide-ranging turn. Among the pageant of so many other cast members masterfully directed by Hamilton, several are outstanding. Local theater whirlwind Blouin is a triumph as Horatio, right down to the play’s final line. As Queen Gertrude, Zvaleko (Pippin) shines in a very challenging role, and Craig Benson brings great range and some comic flair to Polonius, counselor to King Claudius. In smaller roles, Shakespearean vet McFarland brings some heartbreaking deftness to Ophelia, and Guildenstern is just the sort of the role Morgan Cox (Hedwig and the Angry Inch) was born to play. Many aspects of Hamlet, including but not limited to the climactic scene,

require careful choreography and McFarland pulled double duty to make that exceptional as well. Calder Johnson and Gabriel Groom designed a great sound architecture of moody musical cues, and the period costuming done by Kelsey Hamilton and Megan Hughes is top-notch as well. Hamlet may not be the lightest of fare for audiences coming out of what one hopes is the worst of a pandemic, but it is an epic and sobering work that has stood the test of centuries, and the stamp NCRT has put on this production speaks well for all involved. l North Coast Repertory Theatre’s production of Hamlet plays Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. through Aug. 21, with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. through Aug. 22. Audience capacity is capped at 50 percent and tickets are available online only, no sales at the door. For more information, call 442-NCRT or visit www.ncrt.net.

SETLIST

Waltzing Mephisto By Collin Yeo

music@northcoastjournal.com

s I blearily write this, I am up too late, thinking about a last-minute camping trip I’m sneaking away on in the hopes of removing some of the crude nanoparticles that the year’s nonsense has disgorged into my psyche. I had hoped that last week would be the last time I would have to write about this lousy pandemic for a while, that I could go back to entertaining you with cultural bon mots, choice shows and my occasionally annoying candor. However, a few recent events have made it all too clear that is not the case. And so I am hoping to open up a dialogue with you, dear reader. Last Friday, we hit a new county record: 69 new confirmed cases in one day, which is the highest single day of recorded infections since this thing started creeping around in early 2020. I now know people who have gotten the virus in spite of being vaccinated and, while their struggles with the disease seem diminished in severity compared to what this bug is capable of, it’s still a cold comfort and a frankly frustrating setback. I have no doubt that the bozos who have turned this entire situation into another frontier for the Great American Culture War will happily grab onto this information and use it in bad faith. It’s all that some people are capable of doing anymore, apparently. One of my vaccinated friends who got hit with it lives in New Orleans and thinks she got the bug at a show there during a mini punk fest, where a lot of people reportedly contracted the disease. And

while she seems to have speedrun the symptoms and now has her smell and taste back, it didn’t sound very fun. At that same show was a fella I had known for many years, a bright and beloved beacon in the New Orleans underground punk and metal scene I used to call home. He died suddenly last Thursday and people in the know have told me it was COVID. He was 36. I don’t know his vaccination status. I can’t imagine asking his grieving loved ones about it. In my own grief, I don’t even care. On that milestone Friday of last week, I was at an outdoor show, standing back from the main crowd, watching a bunch of great bands do their thing. For a moment, it almost seemed right, truly awesome and just what we all missed and needed. But then I started thinking about my mourning friends back in NOLA and something started creeping into my thoughts, haunting the edges of their aperture. I am blessed with many friends here, many of whom work service industry jobs or other positions that force daily interactions with the public. Our public is not particularly vaccinated and currently carrying a deadly disease. I don’t want any more of my friends to get sick and suffer, but I also don’t want the music to go away again. We need it. It helps us buttress the tottering colossus of our emotional center and provides a primal therapy unlike anything else in this world. Otherwise, how could I even justify going to an outdoor show less than 12 hours after hearing that a former compadre had been felled, likely by exposure during another gig? Am I crazy? Am I asking for

the impossible? I could use some feedback. Not from the cranks who want to draw my attention to conspiracies or who have no desire to opt into the vaccine gambit in the interest of public health and doing the bare minimum to uphold the social contract. Any regular reader of this column knows my politics and certainly knows that I have no love for our government, its intractable corporate collusion and endless capitalist death trip. So, the fact that I am happily Pfizer-vaccinated in spite of all that should tell you something about how seriously I take this. No, the people I want to hear from are those who enjoy live music and reading what I write about live music, and who believe that there is, in fact, a pandemic happening, the effects of which can be mitigated by the tools of public caution and medical science. I don’t have it in me to argue about this anymore. If you share the consensus reality that what is happening is indeed actually happening, then I want you to tell me what you think I should do. Should I still report on our struggling

music scene in the interest of its revitalization? Or should I hit “pause” again, let the heat die down and hope that maybe a few more people — and our Balkanized government — will treat this thing with the severity it deserves? Right now I’m looking at the numbers and, as tempting as it may be, I am really having a tough time prescribing a mosh pit or dance floor to ease your troubles. Drop me a message, please. My compass is truly bashed in right now by a mixture of weariness, grief, and whatever dark force compelled the medieval plague dance mania. I’m restless and exhausted, desiring a St. Vitus’ dance almost as much as I am wishing to avoid over-capacity ICU rooms and parking lot triages. My mental constitution is still intact but it’s cooking in the forge a bit presently. Best not to strike too hard. For now, if you want to know about shows, look at our calendar and the Music & More grid. I hope to have a little more clarity soon. Be safe. ● Collin Yeo (he/him) is tired. He lives in Arcata.

Every time I think it’s safe to go out like “normal.” Jungle Cruise

I’m Going to Disneyland Jungle Cruise’s smooth escape By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill screens@northcoastjournal.com

REVIEW

JUNGLE CRUISE. Somewhere in another corner of the Multiverse Marvel/ Disney’s Loki series has failed to help me conceptualize, there is a version of me with the wherewithal to join a friend at the movie theater to enjoy The Green Knight and the glory of Dev Patel in period costume. But you’re stuck with this me, the one who drooped over our rising COVID-19 case numbers on Friday and lost the will to endure a moment longer in my outside clothes. The one who instead found a spot on the living room floor with the kids to stream Jungle Cruise. Having wrung all it can from the creaky boats, island sun and Johnny Depp (himself having taken on more water than a PR team can bilge pump out), Disney seems to have finally jumped ship from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise to another classic theme park attraction: the Jungle Cruise. And at a moment ripe for globe-trotting summer movie escap-

ism, (mostly) bloodless action/adventure and easy charm, when there’s no way in hell I’m pushing through a turnstile into a crowded theme park, Jungle Cruise and its charismatic cast delivers. No waiting in line, either. In 1916 London, excluded from a dusty, all-male explorers’ society, the intrepid Dr. Lily Houghton (Emily Blunt) has her far less intrepid brother MacGregor (Jack Whitehall) plead in her stead for access to an arrowhead she believes will lead her to a tree yielding petals that can cure any illness. Like Ponce de Leon in Florida, a troupe of Spaniards were lost to the Amazonian jungle searching for the tree, which is dismissed as a fairy tale by the society. No matter. Lily swipes the thing from the old codgers and the murderous Prince Joachim (a very pink Jesse Plemons) and heads for Brazil, brother in tow. There she is semi-hoodwinked into hiring Frank Wolff (Dwayne Johnson), a Continued on next page »

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Aug. 5, 2021 • northcoastjournal.com

broke tour guide/conman with a sputtering engine in hock and a penchant for puns. Pursued by the prince in his submarine (shh … never mind how he got it in the river) and cursed explorers, they head through rapids and a hail of blow darts, poring over maps and solving riddles as they go. The nostalgia machine is firing on all cylinders in Jungle Cruise, from the animated planes and boats drifting over vintage maps to the early Spielberg adventure vibes of the conquistador narrative — it could have just as easily been Indiana Jones sweeping in to chase down apocryphal treasures. The hulking Johnson testing the seams on Humphrey Bogart’s striped shirt from The African Queen (1951), not to mention his hat and kerchief, feels like more wink than nod to Old Hollywood. So does the running joke about Blunt wearing trousers, much like Bogart’s co-star for that picture Katherine Hepburn. There’s in-house nostalgia, too, with the Johnson running the full Disneyland schtick for tourists, complete with crude animatronics and shills in fake tribal costumes. (The comically blunt Trader Sam, played by Veronica Falcón, could use more screen time but is thankfully less of a throwback to Indigenous roles past.) Street and aerial views of the river town, docks and boat chases capture that artfully aged and supersaturated look of immersive theme park sets, too, which is what the movie is so clearly striving for as flocks of tropical birds swirl across the screen as if to guide us to the gift shop. While the pirates have left the port, the cursed conquistadors hearken back to the crusty and tentacled monsters of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, and action director Jaume Collet-Serra (The Shallows, 2016; The Commuter, 2018) keeps to similarly clockwork pacing and slick editing. As a minor side antagonist, Paul Giamatti is excellently sweaty and fuming. Plemons, on the other hand, seems to struggle equally with his accent and overly tight uniform. Whitehall hams it up as an aristocratic fish in muddy river water, though it’s hard to watch the scene in which he reveals his homosexuality with what’s meant to be period obliqueness, and not imagine a board room of heterosexual executives weighing its marketability vs. potential backlash. The overqualified Blunt is, as always, a pleasure to watch, both for her easy banter with Johnson, fraternal chemistry with Whitehall and effortless adventuress cool — it’s a relief she’s allowed the same book smarts and physicality Harrison Ford’s Indiana Jones enjoyed instead of being saddled with klutziness as Rachel

Weisz was in the first Mummy movie. (A library set piece in which she employs a rolling library ladder to make off with an artifact calls to mind what might have been.) Johnson may not sell Bogart’s indifference to noble causes but he shows up with exactly what he asked to bring: grinning bravado, comic timing, lighthearted action chops and at least one scene emerging from the water in a clinging, transparent shirt. This is not the movie for him to expand his range. We came to drift along the Disney-fied Amazon on a boat propelled by his cartoonish charm and see him and Blunt prevail without too much complication. And this boat runs on rails. PG13. 127M.

Purple Urchin Profits By Mike Kelly

washedup@northcoastjournal.com s you may know, due largely to the loss of its primary predator to sea star wasting disease, the population of purple urchins (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) has exploded along the California coast. These urchins are eating enough algae to seriously impact the kelp forest ecosystem. So, I ordered the Washed Up LLC branch chiefs to my penthouse office in Washed Up Tower to brainstorm ideas for turning a profit while controlling the urchins. Washed Up’s editor-in-chief said, “One word: Broth. These urchins are subsisting on new algal growth and any drift algae they can capture, so they are too emaciated for sushi. But the flavor’s still there, so we just boil ’em up and strain out the solid bits.” I asked how many urchins we’d be able to process that way, and she said, “All of them.” And I was like, “Whoa, that’s a lot of broth! And the ecosystem still needs urchins, so maybe start small.” My design chief said, “There may be profit in the solid bits, too. Have you ever found an urchin shell, or “test,” washed up on the beach? They are a globular biscuit shape with a hole on the bottom, which is their mouth, and a smaller hole on the top, which is their combination excretory and sexual discharge orifice. They are very pretty and have symmetrically arranged bumps where the spines attached, and tiny holes where their tube feet emerged. They would make attractive ornaments if we insert an LED to shine as radiating pinpoints through the tube foot holes. The LED would go in the mouth and you’d flick a little switch in the anus, and voilà, a sparkly little lantern!” Washed Up’s legal chief said, “That’s interesting because the five teeth of an urchin form a structure called Aristotle’s lantern. And I have an idea for the spines.

We’ll take the “acu” out of acupuncture. An adult purple urchin has hundreds of spines, so we charge people to roll around on a bed of them. They’ll get punctured everywhere, curing all their diseases! When the urchins tire, we make broth.” Washed Up’s chief engineer said, “I think purple urchins would make great pets because they can live for decades, like parrots. Plus, I’ve studied the tube feet, which are long hydraulically powered tubes with a little sucker at the end. The urchins use them to move around and manipulate objects like algae and the shells that they often cover themselves with for added protection. I imagine kicking back in a saltwater hot tub with my pet urchin in my lap while enjoying the gentle kisses of tube feet upon my ...” “Whoa!” I said, “Washed Up is a family column and we don’t condone erotic tube footsies. Plus, purple urchins can’t live for long in water over about 70 degrees. And if it mistook your wiener for the arm of a predatory sea star, it would deploy its pedicellaria — movable stalks with three-jawed pinchers at the end — and you’d experience much discomfort. Plus, if it mistook your wiener for some algae, you’d lose a perfect five-sided plug to Aristotle’s lantern.” I had always wondered why a newspaper column needs a chief engineer, so I made him kiss my ring and then fired him. Satisfied, I addressed the remaining branch chiefs. “I’ll collect as many purple urchins as I can carry. You find some rich sick people to roll on them. You get some LEDs. And you get the water boiling. We’ll save the kelp forests and get rich!” l Biologist Mike Kelly (he/him) writes science-based satire as M. Sid Kelly.

ASTROLOGY

LEGAL NOTICES

Free Will Astrology Week of Aug. 5, 2021 By Rob Brezsny

Homework: Tell me what subtle or not-so-subtle victories you plan to accomplish by January 1, 2022. Newsletter@freewillastrology.com

freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): Filmmaker Federico Fellini had an unexpected definition of happiness. He said it was “being able to speak the truth without hurting anyone.” I suspect you will have abundant access to that kind of happiness in the coming weeks, Aries. I’ll go even further: You will have extra power to speak the truth in ways that heal and uplift people. My advice to you, therefore, is to celebrate and indulge your ability. Be bold in expressing the fullness of what’s interesting to you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Look for a long time at what pleases you, and longer still at what pains you,” wrote the novelist Colette. What?! Was she making a perverse joke? That’s wicked advice, and I hope you adopt it only on rare occasions. In fact, the exact opposite is the healthy way to live — especially for you in the coming weeks. Look at what pains you, yes. Don’t lose sight of what your problems and wounds are. But please, for the sake of your dreams, for the benefit of your spiritual and psychological health, look longer at what pleases you, energizes you, and inspires you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you deepen your affection for butterflies and hummingbirds, I will love it. If you decide you want the dragonfly or bumblebee or lark to be your spirit creature, I will approve. You almost always benefit from cultivating relationships with swift, nimble, and lively influences — and that’s especially true these days. So give yourself full permission to experiment with the superpower of playful curiosity. You’re most likely to thrive when you’re zipping around in quest of zesty ripples and sprightly rhythms. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Life is showing you truths about what you are not, what you don’t need, and what you shouldn’t strive for. That’s auspicious, although it may initially feel unsettling. I urge you to welcome these revelations with gratitude. They will help you tune in to the nuances of what it means to be radically authentic. They will boost your confidence in the rightness of the path you’ve chosen for yourself. I’m hoping they may even show you which of your fears are irrelevant. Be hungry for these extraordinary teachings. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The next two months will be a propitious time for you and your intimate allies to grow closer by harnessing the power of your imaginations. I urge you to be inventive in dreaming up ways to educate and entertain each other. Seek frisky adventures together that will delight you. Here’s a poem by Vyacheslav Ivanov that I hope will stimulate you: “We are two flames in a midnight forest. We are two meteors that fly at night, a two-pointed arrow of one fate. We are two steeds whose bridle is held by one hand. We are two eyes of a single gaze, two quivering wings of one dream, two-voiced lips of single mysteries. We are two arms of a single cross.” VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo spiritual author Don Miguel Ruiz urges us not to take anything personally. He says that if someone treats us disrespectfully, it’s almost certainly because they are suffering from psychological wounds that make them act in vulgar, insensitive ways. Their attacks have little to do with what’s true about us. I agree with him, and will add this important caveat. Even if you refrain from taking such abuses personally, it doesn’t mean you should tolerate them. It doesn’t mean you should keep that person in your life or allow them to bully you in the future. I suspect these are important themes for you to contemplate right now. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “People who feel deeply, live deeply, and love deeply are destined to suffer deeply,” writes poet Juansen Dizon. To that romanticized, juvenile nonsense, I say: NO! WRONG! People who feel and live and love deeply are more emotionally intelligent than folks who live on the surface

— and are therefore less fragile. The deep ones are likely to be psychologically adept; they have skills at liberating themselves from the smothering crush of their problems. The deep ones also have access to rich spiritual resources that ensure their suffering is a source of transformative teaching — and rarely a cause of defeat. Have you guessed that I’m describing you as you will be in the coming weeks? SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Professor of psychology Ethan Kross tells us there can be healthy, creative forms of envy. “Just as hunger tells us we need to eat,” he writes, “the feeling of envy could show us what is missing from our lives that really matters to us.” The trick is to not interpret envy as a negative emotion, but to see it as useful information that shows us what we want. In my astrological opinion, that’s a valuable practice for you to deploy in the coming days. So pay close attention to the twinges of envy that pop into your awareness. Harness that volatile stuff to motivate yourself as you make plans to get the very experience or reward you envy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Poet Walt Whitman bragged that he was “large.” He said, “I contain multitudes.” One critic compared him to “a whole continent with its waters, with its trees, with its animals.” Responding to Whitman, Sagittarian poet Gertrud Kolmar uttered an equally grandiose boast. “I too am a continent,” she wrote. “I contain mountains never-reached, scrubland unpenetrated, pond bay, river-delta, salt-licking coast-tongue.” That’s how I’m imagining you these days, dear Sagittarius: as unexplored territory: as frontier land teeming with undiscovered mysteries. I love how expansive you are as you open your mind and heart to new self-definitions. I love how you’re willing to risk being unknowable for a while as you wander out in the direction of the future. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Poet Ezra Pound wrote a letter to novelist James Joyce that included the following passage: “You are fucking with my head, and so far I’ve been enjoying it. Where is the crime?” I bring this up, Capricorn, because I believe the coming weeks will be prime time for you to engage with interesting souls who fuck with your head in enjoyable ways. You need a friendly jolt or two: a series of galvanizing prods; dialogs that catalyze you to try new ways of thinking and seeing; lively exchanges that inspire you to experiment. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Blogger Mandukhai Munkhbaatar offers advice on the arts of intimate communion. “Do not fall in love only with a body or with a face,” she tells us. “Do not fall in love with the idea of being in love.” She also wants you to know that it’s best for your long-term health and happiness if you don’t seek cozy involvement with a person who is afraid of your madness, or with someone who, after you fight, disappears and refuses to talk. I approve of all these suggestions. Any others you would add? It’s a favorable phase to get clearer about the qualities of people you want and don’t want as your allies. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I gave my readers homework, asking them to answer the question, “What is your favorite rule to break?” In response, Laura Grolla sent these thoughts: “My favorite rule to break is an unwritten one: that we must all stress and strive for excellence. I have come up with a stress-busting mantra, ‘It is OK to be OK.’ In my OKness, I have discovered the subtle frontier of contentment, which is vast and largely unexplored. OKness allows me not to compete for attention, but rather to pay attention to others. I love OKness for the humor and deep, renewing sleep it has generated. Best of all, OKness allows me to be happily aging rather than anxiously hot.” I bring this to your attention, Pisces, because I think the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to investigate and embody the relaxing mysteries of OKness. l

We are very excited to be focusing on local artists this year. All Artists for the 2021 Festival are located in California. ROBERT “ROBOT” ADAMS / Robot creates and exhibits engaging waste art as a tool to educate his community about pollution. He describes his art style as “unsupervised child in a hardware store,” and works mainly with aerosol paint, recycled found objects, and lights. From suits of armor made with aluminum soda cans to sculpted street plastic statuette scavenger hunts, Robot wants to invite others to interact with their community and think about our environmental impact through engagement with public art. Born in McKinleyville and raised in the Kinetic Universe, Robot tries to put fun first in everything he does. He is the director of the Kinetic Museum, ‘20 Rutabaga Queen, and April ’21 Artist for the Month for Eureka. ALME ALLEN (Karuk/Yurok) / Alme is a well-received Native American artist in Humboldt County whose portfolio ranges from murals, traditional carvings, native- themed benches, carving instruction and youth mentoring. Much of the inspiration he draws upon as an artist is from his upbringing in Karuk territory along the Klamath River in Orleans, CA. Alme was enriched in native ways of life as a child, from ceremony, to art, to feeling a deep connection to the land and traditional foods that surrounded him. Those cultural values passed down from the preceding generations of traditional people are expressed through his artwork today. His work can be found in art galleries and installations throughout the community. Most notably, he designed benches along the Eureka Waterfront Trail that are concrete versions of traditionally carved redwood stools. The stools face each other in a semicircle on a painted ground mural that pays tribute to Indian Island, sacred land to the Wiyot people. Allen’s hopes and intentions with this installation are to connect people with the environment and realize that all land is sacred. JENNA CATSOS / Jenna is a Eureka-based illustrator who creates work under her business name, Pen+Pine. She is known for her whimsical line drawings that showcase nature and the north coast. She has been on the west coast (Seattle, then Eureka) since 2010, but can’t shake her Massachusetts roots. She is a community organizer and public art enthusiast, and one of the organizers of the Eureka Street Art Festival. MIR DE SILVA / Mir is a painter and illustrator based in Eureka, California. Her work utilizes positive imagery and vibrant colors to encourage civic engagement and environmental stewardship. She graduated from HSU with degrees in art education and studio art in May, and divides her time between teaching and creating alongside the community. TONY DIAZ / Tony is a Humboldt based artist who graduated from Humboldt State University in 2013 with a degree in printmaking in graphic design. As an illustrator, painter, printmaker and muralist his craft has opened doors from as far away as New Zealand to down the street on the Arcata Theatre lounge. Diaz’s creative vision has been inspired by psychedelic poster art, the human form, flora, horror films and creatures from the natural world. Since his last involvement in ESAF (2019), he has painted 13 murals including the Boon Street

Art festival in Hamilton, NZ and Paint Memphis. Tony has been commissioned and won contests by many businesses and musicians for merchandise, apparel, logo designs and posters. A few examples of recent project clientele have been the California Honeydrops, Heart of Humboldt, Dr. Greenthumb, Doggin Dirt band, Outside Indi’s coffee, and the Fairfield Marriott. DIANA LYNN / Being a kid who drew pictures all day, Diana’s parents enrolled her in L.A.’s Chinourd Art Institute’s children’s program when she was six. She stayed with art through high school, followed by a BA in art history, an MA in painting, and postgraduate study at UC Berkeley. Her paintings and installations have shown in numerous juried and invitational exhibitions, most recently at Black Faun Gallery. She co-owned an award-winning gallery in Santa Rosa, taught college art, and was an Artist-in-Residence for the CA Arts Council. Her exhibition, ‘Witness: Intimate Passages, Images of Birth and Death,’ was featured on KQED’s California Report. She also designs sets for NCRT and writes for national youth publications. DAVE YOUNG KIM / Born and raised in Los Angeles, Dave attended the University of California, Davis before earning an MFA at Mills College. Being of Korean descent he draws from cultural history to create his contextualized works, where he uses the specific to talk about universal ideas of the human condition. Ultimately his work is premised on the idea that we are all looking for a place to call home. JULIA MORGAN (AEROSE) / Aerose is a multimedia artist and muralist based in Humboldt. Her work is a celebration of the eternal now, and empowered individuals thriving within it. Through painting, street art, video and fiber works, she explores human connection, nostalgia, and the inner landscapes that inhabit us all. Her work aims to envelope the mind and gaze of the viewer in the same way that we are held by feeling, each other and the cradling universe within which we dwell; encouraging the viewer to exist in the spaces between mind and matter, dreams and reality. The ultimate impulse behind her public work is to provide momentary liberation for the viewer from their day, their mind or their society by sharing with them the same alternate view she has creating new worlds, narratives and characters out of paint. KATI “TEXAS” MOULTON / Kati has created dozens of works of public art in Humboldt County, both as Artist in Residence of the Ink People’s Rural Burl Mural Bureau and as an independent artist. She is a Kinetic Sculpture Racer, prop builder, teacher, and designer whose work brings attention to the natural environment and the health of our living planet. Texas has a passion for creative reuse and sustainable art. She has twice won the title of “Trashionista Gloriosa” in the Kinetic Kouture Trash Fashion show. As the director of Maker’s Apron Creative Reuse, she helps turn potential waste into creative opportunities. As a Rutabaga Queen “Lotta Paintbuckets,” she encourages everyone to “Do ART!” As a Eureka City Council member, she works to help build a community that is responsive to our changing environment. BLAKE REAGAN / For Blake, using art to portray civilization’s quest for achieving sustainable lifestyles has always been a primary mission. While expressing himself through traditional oil paintings, ceramic sculptures, larger than life murals, or live

performance fluorescent painting, the duality of the human experience can be seen throughout all of his work. For him, art acts as a catalyst to influence and adopt more viewers into practicing sustainability, establishing community based action, and pushing an agenda of an uplifting positive movement. In 2018 he became involved in mural projects throughout Humboldt County, and was a participant in the Eureka Street Art Festival. Thus reinvigorating a strong passion for creating large murals that the public can enjoy on their commute or during urban explorations, starting a campaign for the beautification of our public spaces. Though self taught, Blake received an A.A. in Liberal Arts at College of the Redwoods. Mostly working out of his studio in Eureka, he also paints at several events and festivals around Northern CA and Nevada. LUCAS THORNTON / Lucas Thornton was born and raised in Humboldt County finding art at a young age. He’s lived and worked as a professional muralist for the past 20 years locally and abroad.

His style has a wide range and his scale of work is larger than life. His recently completed mural in Eureka is the “Art history trompe l’oeil,” mural on the Redwood Arts Association building at 6th and F st. Other notable murals are the “Marbled Murrelet,” mural in Arcata and the “Welcome to Fortuna,” mural on Rays in Fortuna. His murals are always professional and enhance the community, he’s a true muralist. He can be reached at muralsbylucas@ gmail.com and Instagram @mrwoodfoot. GINA TUZZI / Gina Tuzzi was born and raised in Santa Cruz, CA. She attended Humboldt State University, receiving a BA in painting and printmaking and later Mills College where she received a MFA in painting. Gina has exhibited her work both nationally and internationally, is a Murphy and Cadogan fellow, a Facebook Artist in Residence and a two time SECA nominee.
