Many thanks to all of you who voted for me this year as Best Attorney and who voted for The Zwerdling Law Firm as Best Law Firm in 2019. These are big honors and we are humbled to receive them. I have lived here for over 60 years and love this community for many reasons including the natural beauty of the Northcoast and the unique character of the people who live here. In my 44 years of practicing law, I have worked hard to be sure that individuals with little or no resources of their own received equal treatment under the law. Furthermore, our office has provided hundreds of hours of pro bono legal service to worthy causes. The other three attorneys in this office, Heidi Holmquist Wells, Richard Dalrymple, and Nathaniel Zwerdling, share my belief that the greatest lawyers are those that know the law, are tough when necessary, and most importantly, are compassionate and care deeply for each client. These are the three best attorneys I have ever worked with. — Zach Zwerdling 937 6th Street, Eureka, CA (707) 798-6211 office@zwerdlinglaw.com zwerdlinglaw.com northcoastjournal.com • Thursday, Aug. 6, 2020 • NORTH COAST JOURNAL

Who has the Power?

GOHumCo seeks community participation in two working groups for local economic development and pandemic recovery The Humboldt County Administrative Office’s Economic Development Team (GOHumCo) is seeking volunteers to serve on two newly created working groups that will be vital to local economic development and pandemic recovery. If you are interested or know someone who would be a good fit for these working groups, more information and links to apply are below. “In our search for applicants for these two working groups we are seeking a diversity of individuals, thoughts, voices and ideas,” said Economic Development Director Scott Adair. “We also encourage individuals who have not been previously engaged in these initiatives, especially those in the private sector, to apply for these to working groups and become engaged in discussions that will help shape economic policy in our county.” The working groups are as outlined below:

Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) Ad-Hoc Working Group

A Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy, or CEDS, is a plan that helps guide local economic development efforts and is required to be eligible for certain federal grants. Goals in writing a CEDS include deciding on and prioritizing economic development initiatives and helping to plan for a vibrant and resilient economy. While Humboldt County produces a new CEDS every 5 years, the county released its most recent CEDS in 2018 and COVID-19 is expected to alter the current economic strategy. As such, modifications and revisions need to be made to the most recent CEDS, which will be based on input from the CEDS Ad-Hoc Working Group. The CEDS Ad-Hoc Working Group will consist of one representative from each of the following industry sectors: • Diversified Health Care • Specialty Food, Flowers and Beverages • Building and Systems Construction • Management Innovation Services • Niche Manufacturing • Investment Support Services • Forest Products • Tourism • Alternative Agriculture • Arts & Culture

Apply to join the CEDS Working Group

If you are interested in joining the CEDS Working Group please download the application on our website and submit via email to gohumco@co.humboldt.ca.us .

Prosperity Network Working Group

Led and financially supported by the county, the Prosperity Network is comprised of regional economic development practitioners. This group meets monthly for networking and receives presentations from experts in the fields of marketing, economic development, workforce development, planning, and community development. The purpose of the network is to foster community and economic development to improve the quality of life for Humboldt County, its residents and its communities. The network acts as a platform for collaboration for those who are interested in economic development. The Prosperity Network Working Group will meet quarterly and will be tasked with steering the Prosperity Network through pandemic recovery resources and developing the framework and scheduling for the network members.

Apply to join the Prosperity Network Working Group

If you are interested in joining the Prosperity Network Working Group please download and fill out the application on our website and submit via email to gohumco@co.humboldt.ca.us. For questions about these two work groups email our team at gohumco@co.humboldt.ca.us

Editor: I was bothered by Louisa Rogers’ unkind letter “Utter Ignorance” (Mailbox, July 23), in which she accused Rex Bohn of being a sixth-grader for asking if the governor “really has the power to do (this),” and went on to state her opinion on the matter. Well, I think that she, too, has not informed herself of the facts. Since looking it up, I learned that the governor does not in himself have that power; it is the public health officer who has that power, whether it is the state or local public health officer. I quote below from California Constitutional-Election Law Attorney Mark Meuser, from an article in Californiaglobe: “On March 11, 2020, Gov. Newsom’s office published the fact that it was California Department of Public Health’s policy of preventing gatherings of groups larger than 250 people ‘should be postponed.’ This was not an executive order by the governor, instead it was a California Department of Public Health policy. This policy does not cite a single law that gives the California Department of Public Health authority to shut down events of 250 people or require social distancing of more than 6 feet. While these may be good guidelines to follow, they are simply policies, they are not the law. To emphasize that this was just a policy and not a law, on March 12, 2020, Newsom issued his next executive order (N-25-20). This executive order states that ‘All residents are to heed any orders and guidance of state and local public health officials, including but not limited to the imposition of social distancing measures, to control the spread of COVID-19.’” Here’s the link where he states the code (Cal. Health & Safety § 101040) and explains further the governor’s authority vs. the health officials’ authority: www.californiaglobe.com/section-2/does-gov-newsomhave-the-power-to-shut-down-privatebusinesses-because-of-coronavirus. Jean Damon, McKinleyville

Crowded Out Editor: I recently visited Prairie Creek State Park and found it to be more overcrowded than I had ever seen it to be in many years of going there (NCJ Daily Online, July 30). Trails had numbers of people passing each other and most were not wearing masks. I strongly would recommend that the number of people in the park be limited. On the way home we were going to stop in Trinidad but found it to be so

Terry Torgerson

jammed with tourists that we quickly changed our minds. The parking lot at the state beach was absolutely packed, the stores were all open and all packed with people. Few people had on masks; social distancing was impossible. It is no surprise that the COVID numbers have gone up. Tourists are pouring in and nothing is being done about it by the town of Trinidad or the park system. Congress and our president are busy giving money to corporate interests and the Pentagon, so people are desperate to keep stores open and money coming in and people will die because of that. Is there nothing that our political leaders can do to protect the county from the massive influx of tourists who are bringing the virus with them and don’t seem to find it necessary to even wear a mask? Sylvia De Rooy, Indianola

‘Miserly, not Stupid’ Editor: I have been described as frugal. Miserly is likely more accurate. Despite those inclinations, I will reluctantly support a Eureka sales tax extension/increase on the November ballot (“’Greatly Needed,’” July 30). It’s obvious to anyone sentient that city revenues have been slammed due to you know what. If you want city services, emergency personnel, and some semblance of street repair, I believe the proposal is worthy of support. Groceries and medicine are not taxable items, so if you spent $300 a month elsewhere, it would cost you about what a large plain coffee at Starbucks costs. I’m miserly, not stupid. Did you know Eureka has one of the highest crime rates Continued on page 10 »

To the Trolls: ‘Get Over It’ Editor: You know who you are — those who have no fear of the Deadly Invader of our country and the world — coronavirus/ COVID-19. Against the best advice of medical professionals all over the world, you refuse to wear masks and practice social/physical distancing, thereby putting yourself and others in danger of contracting the deadly disease. You say you have the right to avoid practicing these guidelines and maybe you do, but you don’t have the right to go around, potentially infecting others and possibly killing them, if you are unwittingly infectious because you have the asymptomatic version of the plague, with no overt signs. No one likes what’s going on — the hot and bothersome masks, the distancing, the shuttering of businesses, the isolating of the social animal that is Homo sapiens, but most are putting up with it, for the sake of humanity. And, who knows, maybe you who object to the above, are really trying to commit suicide by virus. I can, however, assure you there are easier ways to go about it, while not murdering those about you. As to the trolls, who have been dissing and even threatening our County Health Officer Teresa Frankovich, get over it. While you Adam Henrys (ask a cop) have been proceeding with your heinous activities, she has been busy, trying to save your behinds with the best available knowledge. GIVE HER A BREAK!!

‘Grateful to be Reminded’

Thank you, Humboldt! 10

Editor: COVID-19 is egregiously exacerbating the inequities that already exist in communities lacking universal healthcare, income supports, and manageable housing costs. I thank Bill Stiles (Mailbox, July 30) for reminding us of the dire conditions faced by our neighbors. And I thank Sydney and Mark Larson (July 23) for reminding us of the natural

wealth available to all of us and encouraging us to spend more time outdoors. We need this for our physical, mental, and emotional health. I, too, am very privileged: white, male, married well, and survived into retirement with uninterrupted income. I’m grateful for being reminded to be more open to the beauty of our world and of the urgency of additional donations to organizations providing services to those with great and pressing needs. Here’s one: www.foodforpeople.org/. There are others also in urgent need of our dollars. Thank you for actively caring. Chip Sharpe, Bayside

Condemn Racist Activity Editor: Last Friday racist notes were found taped to a sign that was memorializing Congressman John Lewis in Ferndale not even two weeks after his passing. The notes read: “This is a disgrace to Ferndale and all white people. You need to move now and take your racist beliefs with you. You do not belong in my country that our people have fought and died for. Get out of this town now,” and “White Lives Matter.” This threatening note was attached to a harmless sign — that was paying respect to a civil rights leader who sacrificed so much and fought so hard to create a more racially equitable society that we enjoy today — is completely unacceptable, and I believe that it bothers so many other people in this town as well. However, instances like this are often just brushed off by leaders in the community and hardly spoken about publicly. It is extremely frustrating as a young person who has lived here for a majority of his life to feel completely hopeless in combating this racism in Ferndale. No town in the United States should be a place in which one can be run out of town for advocating for racial equality. Therefore, I write this letter to urge Mayor Michael Sweeney, Vice Mayor Steve Avis, Councilman Robin Smith, Councilwoman Kathleen Bullard, and Councilwoman Jennifer Fisk Becker to provide the community with a statement condemning the racist activity that has occurred in the past and continues to occur today in Ferndale. Like so many others, I care about this town deeply and want it to have a better reputation in Humboldt County. After several instances over the years, the Ferndale

City Council has never once provided the community with its own public statement condemning any form of racism in Ferndale. Basil Piazza, Ferndale

Not Offensive Editor: Mr. Stiles letter to the Editor ‘Privilege on Display’ (Mailbox, July 30) confused me. I thought I knew what white privilege looked like. The Larsons are walking and biking all over Humboldt County. leaving a small climate footprint. They shop at a local cooperative market and used to exercise at a gym. I never thought of those activities as white privilege. They found a way to cope with the pandemic took amazing photos of their adventures and shared them. Now, if the NCJ cover story had shown a photo of them in their convertible BMW parked in front of a closed to dining Larrupin’ restaurant and printed an article with them complaining that they can’t travel to SF to shop, had their European summer vacation cancelled, and cannot host dinner parties at their second home in Hawaii, I could understand “white privilege on display on the front page.” I do not know the Larsons. Not everyone here is living on the edge: becoming homeless or having food insecurity. Those of us who aren’t on that edge give monetary donations to or volunteer at organizations that help others in our community who are struggling. I may be wrong, but I have a feeling that the Larsons give back to their community. I get calling out Ivanka Trump or Kim Kardashian for wearing outfits that cost thousands. I don’t get calling out the Larsons for what they are doing. It does not cost anything to walk, they are staying active and their actions are not contributing to climate change. I did not think your article was “highly offensive.” Relative to what is happening in our country at the moment, a couple taking a walk in the woods is not disturbing even if they are white.

Don’t Plant the Mystery Seeds

Send them to Eureka’s Ag Commissioner By Kimberly Wear kim@northcoastjournal.com

ysterious packages of seeds are popping up in local mailboxes — sometimes labeled as jewelry or beads — and the Humboldt County Agricultural Commissioner’s Office is urging anyone who’s received the unsolicited bundles not to plant them. So far about 20 local residents have reported being on the receiving end of the deliveries that appear to be from China, Agricultural Commissioner Jeff Dolf said in a July 31 email to the Journal. “At this point we have collected six seed shipments and are still encouraging members of the public who have received seeds to contact the Agricultural Commissioner’s Office so we can make arrangements to secure the seed,” he wrote. Humboldt County is by no means the only place this is happening. The packets have arrived in at least 22 states as well as Canada, countries in the European Union and Australia, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Officials are asking residents not to open the packages but instead turn them over for testing. It’s also not a new problem, per se. Dolf states in his email that “U.S. Customs and Border Protection estimates that there were 15,000 interceptions of seeds from all sources worldwide and 5,000 from China and Hong Kong in 2019.” So what’s the deal with these latest enigmatic arrivals? No one is quite sure but the USDA put out a statement earlier this week saying there was no evidence to indicate it’s anything other than a “brushing scam,” in which internet sellers send out goods then try to increase sales by posting false customer reviews. “We have identified 14 different species

of seeds, including mustard, cabbage, morning glory and some herbs like mint, sage, rosemary, lavender, then hibiscus and roses,” said Osama El-Lissy, deputy administrator for the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services’ Plant Protection and Quarantine, in an interview on the USDA website. “The main concern is the introduction of pests and disease that could be harmful to U.S. agriculture.” While the plants El-Lissy listed might sound rather benign, some morning glory species are highly invasive — as anyone who has the dreaded bind weed in their yard can attest — and the same goes for mint. “We are working closely with (U.S. Customs and Border Protection) to intercept illegally imported seed packages,” the USDA said in a news release. “We’re also

working with other federal authorities, the U.S. Postal Service, express carriers and online marketplaces to stop future deliveries.” Back in Humboldt, Dolf also noted the seeds could potentially harm local crops as well as the region’s native habitat. To ensure the threat is minimized, he asks anyone who’s received one of the packages to contact his office. “Seeds can vector viruses, bacteria, nematodes and weed seeds, all of which could be potentially harmful to agriculture and the environment in the U.S.,” he said. “The Agricultural Commissioner’s Office is collecting seeds locally and will send them to state or federal authorities for testing.” According to the California Department of Agriculture, exotic pests account for more than $3 billion in economic losses each year. Invasive plants — such as English ivy — also threaten habitats like the North Coast’s redwood forests, upsetting delicate ecosystems by outcompeting native flora for space and resources, as well as, by extension, posing harm to area wildlife. Dolf recommended the following steps for recipients of seeds: • Do not open any of the seed packets. • Do not plant any of the seeds. • Seeds can be mailed to the Agricultural Commissioner’s Office at: 5630 S. Broadway, Eureka, CA 95503. If you cannot mail the seeds, contact the Agricultural Commissioner’s Office

to arrange for collection. • If already opened, place all materials (seeds and packaging) into a zip lock bag. If the seeds have already been planted: • Remove the plants (including soil) and place them inside a plastic bag. Use the thickest plastic bag available. Squeeze as much air out of the bag as possible and seal the bag. • Place the first bag inside a second plastic bag. Squeeze as much air out of the bag as possible and seal the second bag. • Dispose of the double-bagged plant material/soil into trash, but do not compost. • Dispose of the planting container in two trash bags as described above. Humboldt residents can also contact the Agricultural Commissioner’s Office at 441-5260 for additional instructions and to make arrangements for the seeds’ collection. Meanwhile, the USDA said an investigation is ongoing and there are reports of seed packets coming in from countries other than China. “At this point, we have not identified any link to agro-terrorism. This is an evolving situation, and we are working closely with federal authorities to ensure we are evaluating every possibility,” a USDA post states. ● Kimberly Wear (she/her) is the assistant editor and a staff writer at the Journal.

ond-largest river in California and once the third-biggest salmon-producing river on the west coast,” Newsom wrote in a letter. “It served as a centerpiece of community, culture and sustenance. Then beginning 100 years ago, construction of dams threatened this way of life, devastated salmon runs and altered the characteristics of the river itself. A century later, the river is sick, and the Klamath Basin tribes are suffering. “We stand at an unprecedented moment of reckoning about our past and, more importantly, our future,” Newsom continued. “In this moment, we have the opportunity and obligation to see ourselves clearly and decide whether we are

ov. Gavin Newsom has appealed to one of the world’s richest men in an effort to save the Klamath dam removal deal. The groundbreaking deal to remove four hydroelectric dams along the lower Klamath River was reached in 2016 and would constitute one of the largest dam removal projects in history. Under the deal, the dams’ owner PacifiCorp would surrender them to the Klamath River Renewal Corporation, a nonprofit, which would then oversee their removal, which area tribes and environmental groups believe is crucial to saving salmon species. But on July 16 the Federal Energy Regulatory Corporation (FERC) complicated that plan, saying it would only allow Pacificorp to transfer the dam’s licenses — a crucial step — if PacifiCorp remained listed as a co-licensee, saying the nonprofit has “limited finances” and “no experience with hydropower dam operation or dam removal.” But PacifiCorp spokesperson Bob Gravely told the Herald and News in Klamath Falls, Oregon, that the company is now concerned it may be exposed to liability if the costs of dam removal “spiral” beyond the allocated $450 million and that the company may just look to relicense the dams and continue operating them. On July 29, Newsom appealed directly to Warren Buffett, the famous CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, which owns PacifiCorp, in an effort to keep the power company from walking away from the deal. “Since time immemorial, the indigenous peoples of the Klamath Basin have stewarded the Klamath River, the sec-

this dam removal agreement to move forward. It’s not only the right thing to do, it’s in the financial interests of PacifiCorp’s ratepayers and Berkshire Hathaway’s shareholders. The agreement offers PacifiCorp unprecedented liability protections and $250 million in public funding. Walking away from the agreement will put PacifiCorp ratepayers on the hook for all the risks and liabilities associated with fish kills, toxic algae blooms, lawsuits, and violations of Tribal rights. We urge Warren Buffett and PacifiCorp to end the delays and move the dam removal process forward immediately.” — Thadeus Greenson POSTED 07.30.20 Read the full story online.

ON THE COVER

isten, none of us is giving 2020 a five-star Yelp review. But gratitude, I’m told, is a vital tool for getting through tough times. So while nothing seems normal, we’re going to do what we do every year and express some gratitude toward the people, places and things that make this county beloved by its denizens. Some of our winners are closed for now — we’ll have to wait to enjoy Moonstone’s Best View from the Table, raise a glass at Best Bar the Logger Bar or applaud at Best Place to See a Play North Coast Repertory Theatre. But we can still send them appreciative shout-outs and let them know we’ll be supporting them as soon as it’s safe to do so. We can also tip our hats to the businesses who’ve managed to adapt to sheltering in place, like Best Local Virtual Class winner Pali Yoga or S.T.I.L., which nabbed Best Pivot to COVID Aid by a Business by cranking out free hand sanitizer a few months ago. As we peruse this year’s Best of Humboldt champions (cheering and scoffing as we always do), we’re doing so with gratitude and hope that you will, too. — Jennifer Fumiko Cahill

Loco Fish Co. Well, that’s quite a trifecta for the little red trucks turning out fried fish as likely folded into tacos as topped with malt vinegar. Already feeding a hungry following, Loco Fish Co. stepped up to the demands of shelter in place. Plenty of food trucks were ready for customers to pivot to takeout but few, if any, have hush puppies this airy and flavorful. Hold on, give me a minute. OK, I’m back. Add in po’ boys and barbecue sandwiches, and you’ll need all the time standing in the socially distanced line to decide. Owner Jayme Knight, a former fisheries observer, says, “it’s been a wild ride” since opening as a simple fish and chips truck. Now his recipes for rockfish, halibut and lingcod from local boats are augmented by specials from his four chefs, and he’s running two trucks, one at Six Rivers Brewery and one at Myrtletown Liquors & John’s Fine Cigars. “We’ve gotten so busy we can only really run two and keep up the quality,” he says. Customers (wait for it) are hooked. — Jennifer Fumiko Cahill

VEGETARIAN OPTIONS

Despite his confidence that Café Waterfront has always had the best Bloody Mary, owner Ben Smith was surprised at the restaurant’s first win in the category. Indeed, Alibi has dominated the most important cocktail of the day since dinosaurs brunched. But the Bloody Mary has long been a favorite at Waterfront, which, in the days before shelter in place, would run through three or four gallons a day. For 34 years, Smith says, “It’s just been our old-school recipe … things like horseradish, dill weed and chili pepper to give it a kick,” though he won’t divulge all the ingredients. No bells and whistles, and no skewered bacon — the asparagus spear is about as trendy as the bartenders go. Sticking with the classics seems a good strategy in a building dating back to 1892 and listed on the National Registry of Historic Buildings. The upstairs is also rumored to be haunted by a long-ago bartender, though Smith hasn’t personally seen him. Tip your $9 to-go Mason jar to the spirit just in case. — Jennifer Fumiko Cahill

Art Mural

Blake Reagan at The Speakeasy Two years ago during the Eureka Street Art Festival, the façade of the Speakeasy bloomed with bright flowers around a singing woman’s profile. You’d be forgiven for thinking she’s Billie Holiday, with the vintage microphone and the white flower in her hair, but Blake Reagan’s mural “Diva’s Grace” depicts writer, singer and actress Nina Kristopherson performing as Lady Day. It suits the bar, with its updated take on vintage style. Building and bar owner Karina Estrada requested Reagan, from whom she’s also commissioned work. “He’s so talented,” she says, “I’ve always been a huge fan of his work.” Reagan says the piece was meant to “honor divas of old” and the win feels good. “I’m glad that the public is appreciative of public art like that.” While he isn’t painting anything for this year’s festival, keep your eye out for his in-progress murals at the Sequoia Park Zoo’s café, including one of the late Bill the chimp, as well as a patio mural at Phatsy Klines’s Parlor Lounge featuring “music and cats.” — Jennifer Fumiko Cahill

Adventure’s Edge

If pressed, Jennifer Johnson will tell you Adventure’s Edge snagged a pair of Best of Humboldt wins because of “our great customer service and the knowledgeable staff.” Not only do they know the ins and outs of pretty much every outdoor activity on land or sea, they’ll walk a newbie or a fellow expert through selections one on one. And there’s a lot to choose from. “People come here and go, ‘Wow, I didn’t realize you had so much here,’” she says. These days she’s moving lots of hiking and biking equipment and maps, which makes sense since they’re great solo activities we can still enjoy without traveling out of the county. (Let’s keep it to single-household outings, hikers and riders.) Founded in 1970, the brand is an institution but another possible reason for the goodwill toward the Arcata and Eureka shops might be their connection to the community. Since buying Adventure’s Edge 12 years ago, Johnson has made a point of donating a percentage of the profits. Every year, she says, “We give $10,000 to $20,000 back to the local community.” Nice to see an outdoor business practicing the old campground rule of leaving a place better than you found it. — Jennifer Fumiko Cahill

Cloney’s Pharmacy

We need our medications now more than ever. To keep our blood pressure steady, to keep the sniffles at bay and to keep our hearts and immune systems strong. Venturing out into a world that may put us at risk, particularly if we have underlying medical issues that require medication, is not what the doctor or the county health officer ordered. Thankfully, one pharmacy that’s been “caring for you since 1902” has got our backs. And our hearts. And our lungs. And, well, you get it. Not only did Cloney’s Pharmacies, with locations in Eureka and McKinleyville, win Best Pharmacy this year, your friendly local pharmacy also won best Delivery Under Shelter in Place. Our hats (but not our masks) are off to you, Cloney’s. Thanks for going the extra mile(s) to keep your community safe and healthy. — Kali Cozyris

Shannon Miranda and friends at Miranda's Rescue, winner of Best Volunteer Organization. Submitted.

Bless the beasts and bless the volunteers who help them. One giant among Humboldt’s animal rescue scene is Shannon Miranda. With a sweeping parcel of land out in Fortuna dedicated to the rehabilitation and loving care of hundreds of animals, Miranda has devoted his life to rescuing abandoned, abused and injured animals, getting them healthy and happy, and (paws crossed) adopting them out to their forever homes. It is a noble and needed endeavor, and it’s no surprise that NCJ readers voted Miranda’s Rescue Best Volunteer Organization for 2020. — Kali Cozyris

lunch time special only

Humboldt’s Premium Let’s be blunt. With the plentitude of dispensaries in Humboldt County, it’s kind of a big deal to be singled out as the best. So light one up for Humboldt’s Premium, your 2020 Best New Dispensary and Best Cannabis Delivery. Owners Amy and James Alves have worked hard to make their business stand out with courteous and knowledgeable staff, and curate a variety of products and selection. Amy Alves says, “It feels good to win because it means the community is giving us good feedback that our customers are having a safe and happy experience. We try to put safety and quality first. My husband and I would like to say thank you to the community for your support. We appreciate you!” The team has been providing delivery for two years (from Trinidad to Rio Dell) and the storefront, located on Broadway in Eureka, has been open since February. No doubt you’ve seen the line of cars at curbside pickup. Now that’s some flower power. — Kali Cozyris

Food for People

Food for People has been there for Humboldt County residents in need of a helping hand, no matter the circumstance, for more than 40 years. From humble beginnings in 1979 as a single closet of food, the nonprofit has grown over the ensuing years to include 18 programs — from summer lunch programs for children and senior meal deliveries to free produce markets and choice pantries — making a difference in the lives of 12,000 people every month. Even while enduring its own struggles this year in the wake of a sewer backup that flooded its main warehouse just before shelter in place began, Food for People stayed the course, finding new and creative ways of fulfilling its vision of “creating a stronger healthier Humboldt County” as many in the local community face the economic and social isolation impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Four decades and counting, Food for People continues to step up to help fill others’ plates — help needed now more than ever. — Kimberly Wear

ON THE TABLE

Shiso with Everything By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

didn’t even hear my cat-footed co-worker leave the bag of shiso leaves on my porch. But, to my joy, there it was: a dozen or more peachfuzzed, feathery edged, heart-shaped shiso leaves, green on one side, purple on the other. Last week she’d sent me an email asking what I do with shiso — I followed up a breathless list of options by asking, “Are you holding?” The delicate, grassy mint flavor of shiso seems an absolutely Japanese flavor to me, whether fresh with sashimi, dried and sprinkled over rice, or pickled with umeboshi, preserved plums. But it hails from China and adds herby notes to Southeast Asian cooking — in Laos it’s pak maengda. Belonging to the genus Perilla, it’s sometimes among the plant starts as beefsteak plant (evidently inspired by color) or, according to one state park website, rattlesnake plant (inspired by the sound of seed pods). If you’ve been growing it as an ornamental (people do), spot it at the market or are lucky enough to receive a contactless delivery of it on your porch, here are some ideas for enjoying shiso. If you’re already a fan, it would be unfair of you not to share your favorite serving methods — so do tell. The shiso leaves my co-worker gave me are larger and heartier than the jade green ones that frequently show up as garnish beside sashimi. But the flavor of the sushi-grade mahi mahi I bought at Little Japan stood up well cradled in a strip of leaf and dipped in soy sauce. While at the shop, I also grabbed a package of needle-thin wheat somen noodles, the unsung heroes of summer. Served cold — sometimes over ice — they’re enlivened by a chiffon-

ade of shiso and dipped in cool broth, as in the recipe below. And they cook in a grand total of 3 minutes. Take that, capellini. But you know what? Get some angel hair pasta, too. Toss it hot with butter, salt and the same shiso chiffonade. A handful of sliced cherry tomatoes, maybe a fried egg with a runny yolk on top, and you have a light summer meal or at least the primi course. And I’m not ready to call it pesto exactly (my Sicilian mother-in-law might see this), but pureed shiso leaves with olive oil and salt are a fine addition to grilled vegetables, too. Salads benefit from the slight bitterness and mint, too. Slice some Persian cucumbers, sprinkle them with salt. After they’ve sat a few minutes, squeeze them in your hands and toss them with a teaspoon or more of sesame oil, finely sliced shiso and halved cherry tomatoes. Shiso also cooks well. In fact, the single fragile leaf in a box of tempura, its thin lace of batter like late frost, might be my favorite. If you’re making dumplings, consider slipping a leaf — or part of one in the case of these palm-sized specimens — into the skin before you add the filling and pinch it closed. Not only is it fragrant, but it’s all fancy showing through the translucent wrapper. A shiso leaf wrapped around a shrimp, a morsel of chicken or a cube of tofu before brushing with soy sauce and grilling or pan frying is a nice change of pace. The thing to do really is to rinse and pat dry a fresh leaf and smell it. Tear off a piece and taste it. Then rifle through your refrigerator and experiment. Should you muddle it into a cocktail? Add it to your next batch of poke? Only one way to find out.

Shiso-topped somen noodles. Photo by Jason Marak

Somen with Shiso Serves 4. Dashi can be made with instant powder (no shame) according to box instructions or by boiling dry bonito flakes with kombu and salt. The middle path is boiling tea bag-like pouches of dashi ingredients — they yield complex flavor with little effort. You can also skip making soup over a hot stove by picking up a bottle of tsuyu, concentrated soup base that works with somen, udon and soba noodles. Make a stronger soup to dip your noodles or thin it a bit with cold water to pour over the noodles. A few shrimp or some shredded chicken breast make nice additions. Ingredients: 4 bundles dry somen noodles For the broth: 1 tablespoon sake 1/8 cup mirin 1/8 cup Japanese soy sauce 1 ¼ cup dashi broth

Optional garnish: Sliced boiled egg Sliced cucumber Ground fresh ginger Sliced green onion In a small saucepan, bring the soy sauce, mirin and sake to a boil, and remove from heat. Add the dashi and let cool. Boil the somen and rinse them in a colander. Place them in a large bowl of ice water until chilled. Serve in bowls with your chosen toppings, adding broth to the noodles or in smaller bowls on the side for dipping. ● Jennifer Fumiko Cahill (she/her) is the arts and features editor at the Journal.

Beats from the Underground Knox the Dog’s Akita is a mix to fight the Man by By Gabrielle Gopinath

A still from the 1988 anime classic Akira by Katsuhiro Otom.

artbeat@northcoastjournal.com

he artist known as Knox the Dog just dropped a mixtape tailored to sync with the 1988 sci-fi epic Akira and it could scarcely arrive at a better time. Anime and electronica fans have been starved for diversion since the pandemic hit, and Knox’s new release, Akita, brings the sustenance they crave. Akira, the landmark anime classic directed by Katsuhiro Otomo, is a graphic tour de force that set a new standard for hyper-kinetic, nearly wordless storytelling when it came out. Akita updates the film’s original soundtrack with a mostly contemporary tracklist of curated bangers. Its title subs a “k” for the original’s “r,” turning a proper noun into a Japanese dog breed. Otomo’s delirious vision of a post-nuclear, cyberpunk Neo-Tokyo circa 2019 now unfolds to an expertly sequenced playlist of reggae, dub and electronica tracks that mingle frosty nihilism with hedonism to make you dance. Knox the Dog is a nom de turntable for Arcata-based DJ Brian Curtis, aka Pandemonium Jones, whose work behind the wheels of steel is known to local listeners through his regular pre-pandemic sets at Richards’ Goat and the weekly show “Mixed Messages” he hosted on the late, lamented KHSU. Knox notes unexpected synchronicities and “layers of contextual meaning” among Akita’s side effects, reporting: “Unsurprisingly, it’s fun while high.” Synchronicities do compel attention from Akita’s opening moments, when the first notes of the Upsetters’ “Underground” chime out in sync with the ominously flashing buttons that initiate the film’s action. Its initial scenes unfold against that disarmingly measured sonic

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Aug. 6, 2020 • northcoastjournal.com

backdrop, amplifying discordant vibes already latent in the spacey reverberations. Tracks pair up with scenes in ways that sound entirely right in the moment, even if they seem counterintuitive on paper. Brilliantly creepy episodes in the film’s second half that pinpoint the pathology of its nameless fascist state within the dysfunction of its ruling nuclear family (sound familiar?) are now paired with tracks by Big Youth (“Children Children”) and Atomic Dog (“Natural Born Killers”). Meanwhile the psychedelic metamorphoses experienced on screen by an elite cadre of telekinetic psychics are now scored to Remarc’s “Thunderclap,” DJ Rashad (“I’m Gone”) and the shivery tones of Rob & Goldie’s “The Shadow (Process Mix).” Cuts from the original soundtrack by Geinoh Yamashiroguni, heavy on gamelan percussion and themes from Noh theater, appear near the film’s beginning and close it as well. It’s the summer of 2020, and pairing these classic anime images with contemporary sounds updates the experience with unsettling new inflections. The iconic red motorcycle ridden in Akira by iconoclast biker and freedom fighter Shōtarō Kaneda bears corporate logos for American and Japanese brands, including Citizen and Canon, as well as the insignia of the U.S. Air Force. Projecting a future United States of America whose economic power and global prestige are ranged in opposition to the forces of fascism might have been a no-brainer in 1988, but watching Akita now is a reminder of how much things have changed. Otomo’s paranoid projection of a 2019 dystopia looks more and more like social realism. Maybe that’s why it feels like the

culture is on the cusp of an Akira moment right now, with an electronica soundtrack remix from Bwana called “Capsule’s Pride” released in 2016, an Akira-themed Kanye West video (“Stronger”) from 2018 and a hotly anticipated live-action adaptation from director Taika Waititi scheduled for release in May of 2021. It’s undeniably weird to be watching an animated Japanese film about people fighting in the streets against the paramilitary forces of a fascist state at a time when the American news cycle is filled with similar images of protesters battling federal agents in the streets of Portland, Austin, Seattle and Washington D.C. The contemporary voices of Vince Staples, Young Thug, Fatima Al Quadiri, FKA Twigs, Tinashe and others seem to acknowledge this dissonance as they emerge from the sonic textures of Knox’s mix. These voices constitute a gnomic chorus that provides a running commentary on current events, a compilation of the alternately dazed and frenzied chants, spells, threats and exhortations the moment deserves. You can get your paws on this mixtape in multiple ways: watch on Veoh, listen on Mixcloud, download via WeTransfer, or buy a cassette or USB drive on Bandcamp. The USB that ended up on my desk came in a sleek little box featuring original album art and a jaunty, suggestively shaped pink cap for the dongle. ● To order, watch, download or listen to Akita go to www.knoxthedog.com.

Girls on Their Own

Never Rarely Sometimes Always By John J. Bennett

screens@northcoastjournal.com

EVER RARELY SOMETIMES ALWAYS. To me, rural Pennsylvania has never seemed especially welcoming, even on its best day. And slushy winter, 17, pregnant and getting catcalled while trying to perform in the high school talent show is nobody’s best day. Autumn (Sidney Flanigan) may not know she’s pregnant when we meet her but she’s having a rough enough time regardless. And so begins Eliza Hittman’s third feature (it follows 2013’s It Felt Like Love and 2017’s Beach Rats). Autumn is stuck in a small town, surrounded by odious males, perhaps burdened by artistic ambition with little support for it and in need of reproductive health services. To backtrack just a bit, I should acknowledge that Never Rarely is not new, at least in the strictest sense. It was one of the first theatrical releases to be punted to streaming in the early days of the pandemic. But as time seems to somehow have stopped altogether while also constantly accelerating, the fact that the movie was released in April seems incidental right now. And with the cancelation of summer, more or less, it seems entirely appropriate for a small, wintry movie about abortion rights for the lower middle class to have displaced whatever fantastical nine-figure drivel I would likely otherwise be writing about. Hittman makes unadorned, intimate movies about (at least cinematically) generally unexplored aspects of the lives of young people in the greater orbit of New York, particularly their burgeoning sexuality and sense of place in the world. As such, her work both fascinates and terrifies me; city kids are a different breed, with challenges and norms that boggle

The detached serenity of teens casually destroying you on social media. Never Rarely Sometimes Always

the mind of a hayseed like myself. And Hittman, with her close-ups and diegetic sound, pushes right in on the visceral realities, provoking and confronting without malice, simply by pointing us toward some fundamental realities. Her first two features are very much summer movies but in the sand-on-the-sunburn, too-hotto-sleep, why-is-that-girl-in-that-roomwith-all-those-guys kind of way. They are suffused with the aimlessness not only of the season, but of adolescence and young adulthood, emanating uncertainty and discomfort like concrete on a 100-degree Brooklyn day. Never Rarely takes a decidedly different tack, both in being set in the cold season and in approaching the city from the perspective of an outsider looking in. It also operates on a more linear, less ambling plotline, with Autumn facing a clearly defined conflict and moving toward an established resolution. When Autumn begins to suspect that her frequent nausea could be an extra-digestive symptom, she looks for medical advice. Of course, legitimate support of that nature is in disastrously short supply in her small town. She finds herself at a “women’s health center,” where she is given a grocery store pregnancy test and some deeply dubious counseling, and is subjected to a video about the evils of abortion. Looking further afield, she learns that state law prohibits her from terminating the pregnancy without parental consent. As things with Mom (Sharon Van Etten) are strained, to say the least, maybe due to some unseen malfeasance by the leering Ted (Ryan Eggold), that option is off the table. And, to Autumn, that would seem to be the end of options. Well, other than desperately punching herself in

the abdomen and attempting to overdose on vitamin C. When she gets sick during her shift at the supermarket, though, her cousin and co-worker Skylar (Talia Ryder) notices and comes to her aid. Their disgustingly lecherous manager won’t let them leave work early, so they finish the shift and Skylar pilfers part of the day’s cash deposit. Still woefully underfunded, they board a bus for Brooklyn and Planned Parenthood. Matters are complicated when Autumn is referred from the Brooklyn clinic to one in Manhattan, and is then informed the procedure will have to take place over the course of two days. Navigating the city with no money and no experience might as well be sailing to another continent for these two. But Skylar, ever resourceful, solicits the aid of a vaguely creepy dude she met on the bus. It’s this turn in particular that feels to me like trademark Hittman. She’s a realist and probably a little cynical, but at least in her work she refuses to succumb to pessimism or fatalism, call it what you will. She puts us in the room where, at least if we are of a certain sensibility, we are certain something hideous will transpire. But her protagonists, despite inhabiting an uncaring world of creeps and cretins, are not victims; there is power and agency in their humanity, even if they’ve been conditioned to disbelieve it. People can show up to support each other and transcend the manufactured realities thrust upon them. While the endings may not always be happy, good things can happen. PG13. 101M.

oohoo! I got me a professional beachcombing sponsorship. The good folks at Drip-Block Plastic Bags will cover all my beach-related expenses and I just have to be a pretty face, saying nice things about their excellent products. For example, in this story I’ll say, “I safely transported this giant toothy lingcod head home in the Drip-Block Heavy Duty XXL!” That’s right, I found a jumbo lingcod (Ophiodon elongatus) head washed up at Cape Mendocino. The head was totally fresh and relatively undamaged, so I brought it home to attempt articulating the skull and pectoral fin bones for display. But even if the head were stinking rotten, bringing it into my house would still be safe in a Drip-Block Bag! A lingcod head has relatively heavy bones, which tend to fall into a bewildering puzzle if you boil it to remove the flesh. This time I dismantled the head and systematically simmered the separate parts so as not to lose track of the bones. The last time I tried, I ended up with nothing but bones in a Drip-Block Bag! Lingcods’ heavy bones are probably great for their bottom-oriented lifestyle. But don’t let them fool you. Unlike rockfish, they don’t have a gas bladder so they are able to quickly rise from the depths without blowing up. This allows them to grab hooked fish as you reel them up. Basically, your rockfish catch isn’t safe from lingcod until you have it filleted and stored in a Drip-Block Freezer Bag! And lingcod have lots of teeth. There are various sized sharp conical teeth in the jaws where you would expect. But there are also teeth in rows and patches on the roof of the mouth, and there are even small sharp teeth along the leading edges of the gill arches. If you end up inside a lingcod mouth, you aren’t getting out. It’s like a lingcod mouth has the holding

power of a Drip-Block Bag! Another reason lingcod are so badass is the large amount of muscle in the head, which gives their mouth tremendous strength. Occasionally you can buy lingcod cheeks at fish markets. Each cheek on the big head I found was enough for an adult serving and the “lip meat” could feed the kids. Seriously, there’s enough meat on a jumbo lingcod head to fill a Gallon-Size Drip-Block Bag! It’s probably going to take me weeks or months to correctly glue and wire the head and shoulder bones back together, so I don’t have a finished product to show. But look for results on my Twitter feed (@ msidkelly) and find valuable coupons for Drip-Block Bags! Some people think plastic bags are the scourge of the sea. Lingcod will eat almost anything they can fit in their big mouths, so they probably enjoy a nice plastic bag from time to time. And supposedly, some marine animals eat plastic bags thinking they are jellyfish. But this worry totally disappears once you get yourself a lucrative sponsorship. Plus, if you ever need to choke a problem sea turtle, simply use a Drip-Block Bag! But because I am a proactive eco-warrior, I designed a sea-life-safe version. My idea was to print pictures of jellyfish on the bags. You know, to use some reverse psychology on those stupid animals. Thanks, Drip-Block Bags! Lastly, Drip-Block Bags come in any size you’d need. For example, the Drip-Block XXL can contain an infant child AND up to three minutes of air! (See what I did there? Combining a positive sales message with a safety warning is how you earn cash sponsorships from fine corporations like Drip-Block Bags!) ● Biologist Mike Kelly (he/him) writes science-based satire as M. Sid Kelly. It’s available at Eureka Books and for Kindle.

OBITUARIES

Lynette R. Meyers 02/27/1941 – 06/19/2020 Lynette crossed her rainbow bridge on Friday, June 19 at 1:45 in the afternoon at home with her life partner, Shirley, who was with her to her last breath and blessing her into her next adventure. Lynette was born in southern California and loved the beach, the sun, the ocean, her Corvette, her family, and her race into life at full throttle. Never one to live conservatively, she was filled with stories from that time, continuing on to Big Sur, and San Francisco, where she participated fully in the life of the city in the 1960’s. She moved with her beloved daughters, Erin and Gretchen, to Guerneville, where they lived for years, weaving themselves into the fabric of that community that continues to this day. Lynette moved to Humboldt County in the late 70’s and jumped into in all the good times of the back to the land movement. She lived between Humboldt County, Ukiah, and Sonoma County until the early 90’s, when she moved back to SoHum permanently. Along the way, she obtained her contractors license and specialized in foundation work. Lynette worked up and down the North Coast, benefitting her friends and clients with the depth of her knowledge, hard work, fair dealings, and killer sense of humor. It would be fair to say that stories about her preceded her wherever she went and she was a favorite sister to those that knew her, although we all knew that we might be surprised about what she might say or do. She lived for a number of years on Elk Ridge, loving the opportunity to create something for herself, which was filled with the beauty of her flower garden and her own unique sense of artistry. Lynette collected her neighbors and friends to herself with her sense of acceptance and love and conquered her own personal challenges on her own, without fanfare. She became, not only the matriarch of her family, but a model of inspiration. Her inner strength was legendary; she began her life in times that were often unkind. Her sense of self was inspiring and she was unforgettable. She loved her daughters, granddaughter and grandson and their spouses, and her great grandchildren beyond all else. Over the years she added Shirley’s family to her heart space. Lynette was amazingly well read but this wide-ranging knowledge was only shared at her discretion. Her musical talents were freely shared early on, making so many memories of good times. Her cancer diagnosis in 2012 created a formidable challenge, which she rose to over and over again. Her triumphs were not without losses through these years, but the struggles brought her a river of grace, which she, again, freely shared with her loved ones. The death of her daughter, Erin, was a momentous loss, which she had the grace to live through and help all the rest of us to live through. For the last 29 years, she and Shirley traveled their path together, learning along the way the most difficult but ultimate lessons of unconditional love and acceptance, and being in service to each other. Lynette gave Shirley the most precious gift of presence to wish her a blessed farewell from this life. She is survived by her daughter, Gretchen, her granddaughter, Raven Sprague (Jeremy), her grandson, Jo Montro Wood (Kate), her great-grandchildren, Natalie, Bob, Ty, Alexis, and Max, her beloved sister, Tamsan Harmon (Jack) and their large Washington family, partner, Shirley Hillman, sister in law, Betty Hillman, nieces and partners, Kindra and Eric, Marie and Michael, and multiple other family members. She was preceded in death by her parents, her brother, her daughter, Erin, and Shirley’s mother, Eleanor, with whom she had a special bond. In the words of Neil Young, she was an “unknown legend in her time”, and I know that “somewhere on a desert highway, she rides a Harley Davidson”! And do not despair, even if we have to wait a year, there will be a big, loud, crazy memorial party to honor her great big memory.

MURAL BY NICK SWEETMAN

Henderson Center Neighborhood www.EurekaStreetArtFestival.com

ABOUT THE EUREKA STREET ART FESTIVAL

THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS!

During the week-long festival, artists will be painting murals and creating street art throughout the Henderson Center neighborhood of Eureka. Due to the corona virus, we will not be hosting the Block Party this year, but we invite you to walk through the Festival area throughout the week to appreciation the creation of these large-scale pieces of art. The mission of the Eureka Street Art Festival is to create intentional, accessible art that enlivens public spaces, stimulates community revitalization, and attracts visitors to Eureka.

MEET THE ARTISTS

BENJAMIN GOULART

ALME ALLEN �

Benjamin Goulart has been creating art professionally for over 24 years. His first mural in 1996 propelled him into public art, and he has been focused on large scale installations ever since. He has his degree in Art, and has painted 35 murals. His studio is based in Bayside, CA. He now teaches young artists the skills he has learned over the years, as he passes on his wealth of knowledge to the new creative minds of our time.

Alme Allen grew up in the traditional homelands of the Karuk People on the Klamath River in Orleans, CA, surrounded by the same mountains and streams as his fathers’ people. Alme began to participate in the Karuk traditions at an early age, learning the songs, dances and ceremonies that help to keep the Natural World in balance. It is these cultural experiences that have inspired much of his artwork, and he has worked with various materials and media to express his gratitude and commitment to this way of life. Over the years, Alme has accomplished many things within his art and cultural community, from public murals, facilitating art workshops for youth, administering carving projects with young men, an art and cultural tour in Portugal, and numerous local and regional Native American art shows. But what Allen finds to be the most important and gratifying work is the construction and upkeep of ceremonial/village sites in his tribal community.

ASHLEY ROSE � Ashley Rose grew up a farm girl on the coast of Norcal’s dairy country. A childhood in the outdoors surrounded by animals and verdant landscapes left an indelible mark on her creative mind. For nearly two decades, Ashley has run a jewelry line (Ashley Rose Designs) where she melds natural gemstones, crystals, and fine metals into wearable art. A lifetime of adorning the body with creative intention has led to a complete devotion to the arts; Ashley’s journey into multi-media painting sprung many years ago from her everevolving creative process. Ashley’s studies are inspired by flora and feelings of power and balance instilled by the natural world.

CARL AVERY � Carl Avery is a professional artistbuilder-fabricator, specializing in airbrush, pin-striping, custom paint, illustration, murals, graphic design and high quality commission work. Carl is part of the Yurok Tribe, and grew up on a Native American Reservation in Northern CA, Carl’s work is highly influenced by nature and cultural designs. However, his passion for art has pushed his inspirations to take on new forms. Dabbling in what he calls his graffiti style, Carl experiments with loud abrupt color, geometric shapes and character design.

ELLIE GAINEY � Ellie Gainey is a public works artist specializing in murals. She has undergraduate degree from UC Santa Cruz, and a degree in fine art from College of the Redwoods. Her mural work began at the 2018 ESAF, and has since participated in Sacramento’s Wide Open Walls and the Roseville Mural Festival. Beyond festivals, Gainey has painted numerous private mural commissions and is a team member at Inkdwell. Each of her works considers the audience and community as the primary focus and utilizes a combination

of typography and imagery to create a fusion of realistic style with whimsical messages.
