31 Points By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill and Thadeus Greenson

jennifer@northcoastjournal.com and thad@northcoastjournal.com e were at a loss for words. Two shootings — in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio — in less than 24 hours. Thirty-one dead. Fifty-one injured. As information trickled in, the pit in our stomachs grew. A hate-filled manifesto indicating the El Paso killer had targeted Mexicans. Reports that the Dayton killer had been in a band celebrating the rape and dismemberment of women. A tweet from the president blaming the media. We live in an age in which we’ve all become somewhat numb to mass shootings, which have tragically become as American as apple pie with the nation having seen 257 this year when the Journal went to press. By the time you read this, there will almost assuredly have been more. But even in this deranged age, what transpired in El Paso and Dayton feels different. Rather than sending hopes and prayers, we’re offering a statement of 31 points we feel need to be made, one for each of the victims who perished this weekend at the hands of two men wielding weapons of war. 1. There is an undeniable correlation between men who abuse the women in their lives and mass shooters. 2. The Dayton killer reportedly kept a “rape list” while in high school and sang in a “pornogrind” band whose album “Preteen Daughter Pu$$y Slaughter” had cover art depicting rape and the massacre of women. His sister was among his victims. 3. He fits a pattern of an aggrieved white male misogynist, as most mass shooters do. 4. There is an undeniable correlation between men who subscribe to hateful ideologies and mass shooters. 5. Since 2011, suspects with ties to white extremism have carried out at least 17 active shooter attacks in the United States, according to an analysis by the New York Times, killing 96 people and wounding 110. 6. These are textbook examples of domestic terrorism — politically or ideologically motivated attacks carried out against noncombatant targets that are intended to capture attention and influence an audience. 7. The El Paso shooter reportedly published a bigoted manifesto prior to walking into Walmart with an assault-style rifle and opening fire. The manifesto deemed the pending attack a “response to the Hispanic invasion

of Texas,” noting “they are the instigators, not me,” and goes on to refer to immigrants as “invaders” and a “plague.” The manifesto also noted the “media is infamous for fake news.” 8. Hours after the shooting, President Donald Trump tweeted, “Fake News has contributed greatly to the anger and rage that has built up over many years,” adding that coverage has to become “fair, balanced and unbiased or these terrible problems will only get worse!” 9. The president has said other things that were echoed in the El Paso shooter’s manifesto, including references to immigrant “invasions” (his campaign Facebook ads have reportedly repeated this one more than 2,000 times), “infestations” and “animals.” 10. During a May campaign rally in Florida, the president asked of people entering the country illegally, “How do you stop these people?” When a rally attendee shouted, “Shoot them!,” the president laughed and responded, “That’s only in the panhandle, can you get away with that,” to wild applause. 11. The president has said lots of other racist things, many of them aimed at frothing up his base. Most famously, he said there were “very fine people” on both sides of the 2017 conflict in Charlottesville, Virginia, apparently referring in part to white nationalists carrying Tiki torches and chanting, “Jews will not replace us,” and calling African nations “shithole countries” while lamenting the U.S. not getting more immigrants from Norway. He’s also mocked a political rival by making jokes about atrocities carried out against Native Americans, including the Trail of Tears and the Wounded Knee massacre, and told four members of Congress — women of color who are U.S. citizens — to “go back” to the countries from which they came. 12. White supremacists hear these statements and appear validated and emboldened to have someone who talks like them in the nation’s highest office. Don’t take it from us. Here’s what former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke had to say in Charlottesville: “We are determined to take our country back. We are going to fulfill the promise of Donald Trump. That’s what we believed in.” 13. The president is, in fact, a racist. In the 1970s, he was sued by the U.S. Department of Justice, which unearthed evidence that he refused to rent to

black tenants at his properties and lied to black applicants about whether there were vacancies. In the 1990s, John O’Donnell reported that Trump said “laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is. I believe that. It’s not anything they can control.” He didn’t dispute making the statements in a subsequent interview. In 1992, Trump’s hotel and casino paid a $200,000 fine for taking black dealers off tables at the request of guests who didn’t want to associate with them. A few years earlier, a former employee alleged senior Trump Castle staff would clear black people off the floor whenever Trump came to the casino. We could go on. 14. But while the president’s rhetoric likely incites bigoted violence, it’s by no means the primary cause of mass shootings. 15. For the record, neither are video games or violent movies. Though we find many graphically violent first-person shooter games repugnant, we also realize they are now commonplace in most developed nations. American action movies even more so. 16. It’s not mental illness, either, as there’s nothing to indicate the rest of the world is immune from mental health issues. 17. Yet mass shootings of this scale and frequency remain uniquely American. When looking at the data, gun ownership and gun laws set the United States apart. 18. According to a 2018 small arms survey, civilians in the United States own 393 million firearms. That’s 1.2 guns for every man, woman and child. 19. For every 100 residents, U.S. civilians own 120 firearms, the most in the world. Next on the list is Yemen, at 52.8, followed by Serbia and Montenegro, both at 39.1. 20. An analysis of gun-related killings in developed nations found 73 percent of homicides in the United States to be gun related, compared to just 38 percent in Canada. 21. According to NPR, the United States has the 28th-highest rate of deaths from gun violence in the world. With 4.4 gun deaths per 100,000 residents in 2017, it was more deadly than Iraq or Afghanistan. 22. According to the Centers for Disease Control, 38,658 people were killed by a gun in the United States in 2016, including 22,938 suicides, 14,415 homicides and 71 people killed in mass shootings.

23. Elsewhere, laws have proven to make a difference. When a gunman killed 17 people at a primary school in Scotland in 1996, the government introduced sweeping gun control laws and there has only been one mass shooting in the 23 years since. Within weeks of a gunman killing 51 people at a pair of New Zealand mosques, the country had banned semiautomatic weapons. 24. The El Paso shooter used a semi-automatic Kalashnikov-style rifle with multiple 30-round magazines, which he brandished in the parking lot as he walked into the store. He reportedly didn’t break a law until he opened fire. 25. The Dayton killer wielded an AR-15 style pistol, a new variation on the popular assault-style rifle that is shorter and easier to conceal, and a 100-round drum magazine that combined to allow him to shoot 37 people in about 30 seconds. Both the gun and the magazine were reportedly legal for him to carry. 26. If you aren’t advocating for stricter national gun laws — including universal background checks and bans on both assault rifles and high capacity magazines — you are part of the problem. 27. If you aren’t explicitly telling and showing your sons that violence against women is intolerable and wrong, you are part of the problem. 28. If you aren’t telling and showing your daughters never to accept or endure an intimate partner’s violence, you are part of the problem. 29. If you aren’t telling and showing all your children — and everyone in your orbit — that prejudice, intolerance, bigotry, hate, xenophobia, racism and violence are wrong, you are part of the problem. 30. If you aren’t actively trying to change this nation in which we live, you are part of the problem. 31. Democracy is not a spectator sport. Progress is never given but demanded and won. l Jennifer Fumiko Cahill is the Journal’s arts and features editor. Reach her at 442-1400, extension 320, or jennifer@ northcoastjournalcom.

‘An Inspiring View’ Editor: After many years, I recently ventured back up Monument Road and up along Bear River Ridge (“Why I support Terr-Gen’s Wind Project,” June 27, and “Hook, Line and Turbine,” July 4). It was so rewarding to see such an inspiring view unchanged by the decades and I encourage anyone who loves this place to go there. The thought of desecrating these pastoral ridges with an industrial wind farm when offshore installations and solar power will provide more than enough electricity is extremely unpopular for the people not only in nearby towns, and the ranchers living and working there, but for those of us forced to look at 600foot towers with their flashing lights. Go there. The proposed project would be an unnecessary visual blight from the Arcata bottoms to Stafford and every coastal ridge in between. Howard Russell, Eureka

‘In Violation’ Editor: The United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has continued to separate children from their parents in violation of court orders (“A Humanitarian Disaster,” Aug. 1). As far as I know, they are not yet asking parents to choose which child they may keep and which ones will be taken from them. So I suppose this suggest a limit to the Trump administration’s cruelty. Richard Salzman, Arcata

Not so Fast, Mr. Andersen Editor: John Andersen paints a pretty picture of the Gap Brothers’ Humboldt Redwood Co., but it’s a picture of the rapidly receding past, not the reality of the present (“Come See for Yourself,” Aug. 1). Tree sitters block logging of the Mattole’s older trees of Rainbow Ridge because they know intact forests are the only protection against a future — their future — of climate-driven fire and famine. Smarter forestry is not going to lead to a more livable planet. Aware young people say we have to stop cutting the forest for profits. Old, standing redwood and Doug fir in Humboldt County sequester more carbon per acre than any other forest on earth. We live in a temperate rain forest, more life-breathing than the Amazon. It’s pointless to argue about the best way to log a forest that took centuries to develop. The end result is liquidation, loss

of jobs, wildlife, salmon. Recovering the healthy forest after a legacy of destruction is the essential work of all generations in our region. John should learn from “trespassers” in trees before he condemns them together with their trees. Michael Evenson, Petrolia Editor: I have some major problems with John Anderson’s report “Come See For Yourself” in the recent Journal. First, to say that Lear Assets Management, the security group which Humboldt Redwood Co. (HRC) hired, is for the safety of all concerned, including the tree sitter, is completely false. The tree sitter has been subjected to what amounts to torture. In the early days of her occupation of the tree, a masked security guard climbed into the tree, cutting down branches and dropping, from above, the life support supplies that she needs to survive: food, water and tarps. Two 6-gallon jugs of water were dropped dangerously close to her. Then they proceeded to dole food and water out to her at starvation and dehydration levels. The portions have varied but have been as low as 8 ounces of water and 300 calories a day. Additionally, the food they send up is particularly unhealthy. Lots of sugary food, like Cliff Bars. They have played loud, lascivious music

and shined bright lights at her at night. Second, Anderson does not mention the “grievance” that the Lost Coast League (LCL) initiated with SCS (a Forest Stewardship Council certifier) in July of 2018 in which two of their complaints were found to have “merit.” The outcome of this grievance has not yet been determined. Anderson says, though, that they made adjustments to their High Conservation Value Forest (HCVF) plan and therefore were able to commence logging despite the fact that they never conferred with or presented the plan to LCL for review as they were supposed to under instructions from FSC. This is indeed “Straight from The PALCO Playbook.” Jane Lapiener, Petrolia

What About JPR? Editor: Recent articles covering discussions between KHSU, Capital Public Radio (Sacramento) and North State Public Radio (Chico) are overlooking the fact that Jefferson Public Radio (JPR - Ashland) also has two local broadcast services in Humboldt County (Mailbox, July 11). JPR provides Classics and News as well as news and information programming, each of which complement the other without duplication.

The KHSU and the occasional NSPR programming at 90.5 FM provide the same shows already available on JPR. Multiple radio stations playing Morning Edition, All Things Considered or the BBC News Hour at the same time does not provide the depth of what public radio has to offer. The Jefferson Exchange, As It Was, and Nature Notes on JPR include stories and topics that are specific to Humboldt County. Similar programming from either Chico or Sacramento do not provide the same local connection. In determining what programming is selected for KHSU, I hope that unique programming not otherwise available in our listening area will be showcased. We are fortunate to have several public radio stations serving Humboldt County but hearing the same national programming throughout the day on different frequencies does not enrich our listening experience. There are many quality programs available that are not broadcast here. I believe in the value of publicly supported radio and remain a sustaining member of both KHSU and JPR. Providing local funding that supports the vast programming choices available through PRX, PRI, American Public Media and NPR is important. The more variety we can bring to Humboldt County, the better. Stephen Avis, Ferndale

More than two years after David Josiah Lawson’s killing, a report expected to provide answers remains MIA By Iridian Casarez

iridian@northcoastjournal.com

n the aftermath of the April 15, 2017 stabbing death of David Josiah Lawson, as criticism swirled about the city of Arcata’s emergency and police responses and protests mounted, officials pledged the incident would be reviewed by an outside organization. Nearly two and a half years later, the city has yet to see the $30,000 review it commissioned from the National Police Foundation, leaving the community still searching for answers. Arcata Police Chief Brian Ahearn told the Journal he received an update from the foundation a few weeks ago informing him that the nonprofit is still “formatting” the review. He said the organization gave no estimate as to when it will be released to the city. Lawson, a 19-year-old sophomore at Humboldt State University, was fatally stabbed in the early morning hours after multiple fights broke out at an off-campus party. A suspect, then 23-year-old Kyle Zoellner, of McKinleyville, was arrested at the scene and charged with Lawson’s murder but a Humboldt County Superior Court judge dismissed the case a few weeks later, citing insufficient evidence to hold him to stand trial. Almost two years later, a criminal grand jury convened to review evidence against Zoellner in March declined to indict anyone in Lawson’s murder, putting the case back in APD’s hands for further investigation. Charmaine Lawson, meanwhile, is still struggling to find answers as to what went wrong the night her son died and doesn’t understand why the NPF report hasn’t been released. “I’m expecting the report to hold APD liable,” she told the Journal. “A lot of things went wrong that night.” Charmaine Lawson has alleged in a lawsuit pending against the city that police officers arriving on scene didn’t immediately render first aid to her son, that defibrillators at the scene didn’t work and that officers failed to detain witnesses

who may have had information about the killing. “Someone has to be held accountable, not just (Josiah’s) killer but also APD,” she said. The city — in public statements and the sworn testimony of responding officers — has repeatedly said that officers did immediately attempt life-saving efforts and did the best they could to control a chaotic scene that morning. The Journal compiled a timeline (“What Now?,” May 4, 2017) through dozens of interviews with partygoers, friends of Lawson and Zoellner, first responders and neighbors of the home where Lawson was stabbed. It detailed the emergency response that morning, including the first police, fire and medical personnel on scene. According to reports, officers encountered more than 100 partygoers outside the home on Spear Avenue, with people leaving the scene amid screaming and yelling. From all accounts, the scene was chaotic and some have been sharply critical of the emergency response, from APD’s attempts to control the crowd as Lawson lay bleeding out and EMT’s treatment of Lawson to officers’ ability to control and process the crime scene. What happened in the pre-dawn hours of April 15, 2017, became the city’s most controversial emergency response. Many in the community have continued to demand answers at vigils, protests and city council meetings. In the immediate aftermath of Lawson’s death, the city pledged to bring in a third party to review exactly what happened. Last September, almost a year and a half after Lawson’s death, the city of Arcata said it had hired the National Police Foundation (NPF) in a $30,000 contract to investigate and review the city’s response. In a Sept. 10 memo to then-Mayor Sofia Pereira and the Arcata City Council, Arcata City Manager Karen Diemer stated the nonprofit will “review the police departContinued on page 11 »

ment’s response to make recommendations for improving major criminal events, including response to, and investigation of, catastrophic, multiple-victim and/or multiple-witness incidents in the future. … I would anticipate a report to you by the end of the year.” At a March 20 city council meeting, members of the public asked about the NPF report, which was expected to be released in December of 2018. “Six months ago, we were told that an organization called Police Foundation had been retained to look into how the Arcata Police Department dealt with this homicide in April of 2017. I’ve heard nothing since,” Richard Kossow said at the meeting. “It seems to me that it’s time that we start to get some kind of understanding of what that investigation has shown or some acknowledgment from you that the investigation has gone on.” Diemer then addressed the crowd of speakers and community members, saying the organization was done with its investigation and was writing up a report, which she said was scheduled to be released by the end of May or early June. Almost five months after that meeting, the report hasn’t yet arrived, according to Diemer and Ahearn, and it’s not entirely clear why. Charmaine Lawson has been waiting for the report since last December, when a couple of NPF investigators flew to Riverside County to interview her about her interactions with city and county officials. Charmaine Lawson said that when she asked the investigators how long it would take for the report to be released, they told her two to three months, which would have been by March of this year. According to the foundation’s website, it works with police agencies to not only improve their responses and preparations to major incidents but to also thoroughly review “practices, protocols and systems surrounding law enforcement/public safety and the community.” NPF offers agencies what are known as “critical incident” or “after action” reviews — NPF Director of Strategic Studies Frank Straub said the terms are interchangeable — that essentially serve as incident autopsies, telling officials what happened, what went wrong and what could be improved in the future. The foundation has conducted after action reviews of high-profile criminal cases like the June 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting and the December 2015 San Bernardino terrorist attack. Straub said NPF begins its reviews by investigating incidents from the very beginning, consulting with their clients to determine the scope of their business. Investigators start “pre-incident,” which for police agencies means looking at “perti-

They then look at the incident itself, reviewing all materials available, including dispatch and radio calls, traffic and body cameras and surveillance videos, which then leads to investigators interviewing witnesses, survivors and victims about the incident and their recovery, Straub said. Next, investigators review the aftermath and examine what procedural events took place, if any, and determine the “best practices and lessons learned” moving forward. Finally, they review the report with their clients to figure out the base model — a written report or multimedia presentation. Report formats depend on the budget of the review, Straub said. The vast majority of NPF investigators are retired law enforcement officers and, if cases require it, they bring in subject matter specialists, like mental health experts and psychologists. Critical incident reviews for small agencies like APD typically take six to nine months but cases that have yet to be prosecuted — like Lawson’s — can take longer. “The smaller the event, the faster [the reviews] are done,” Straub said. “If the agency is still in the prosecution stage of

their investigation, it might slow down.” In an interview with the Journal in March, Diemer said two investigators came to Arcata to begin their review in mid-2018. The investigators were given full access to case materials and spent a week learning everything about the Lawson case, she said, adding that they interviewed police and city officials over the span of more than a month. Diemer stated in the Sept. 10, 2018 memo, that the investigators had already finished their in-town review of case materials and interviews. NPF declined to discuss any details of its investigation in Arcata when asked by the Journal and has not responded to subsequent questions about why the report remains outstanding. Straub said NPF’s reports are commonly made public but noted that “whoever contracts the report owns it,” adding that the NPF often advises agencies to make them public, especially in the age of Freedom of Information Act requests. In open cases like Lawson’s, NPF typically works with prosecutors to look for language or confidential information that might endanger the prosecution prior to publicly releasing a report. But whether a case has been fully prosecuted only impacts when

— or to what extent — a report is made public, not when it is provided to the contracting agency. Straub said NPF works under the premise that its reports will become public. “We believe every report contributes to a body of knowledge,” he said. “We try to work in a way to allow information to go out to the community but, at the same time, not jeopardize the investigation.” Diemer has repeatedly insisted that the city will do its best to make the report public. “We will make the report public as soon as we hit a point where it’s safe and doesn’t corrupt the investigation,” she said, adding that if the report includes information that could harm the investigation, the city could hold the report or redact portions of it until Lawson’s case is fully prosecuted. “Those are all possibilities. We won’t know until we see the report.” l

Sheriff ’s Office, National Guard Begin Week of Warrants By Kym Kemp

newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

umboldt County’s Marijuana Eradication Team, working with the National Guard, is in the midst of serving multiple search warrants on unpermitted grows in a multi-day crack down on the illicit cannabis market. The team eradicated more than 7,000 plants Aug. 5, according to Sheriff ’s Office Lt. Mike Fridley, who heads MET. “We hit four search warrants,” he said. “These are all unpermitted.” Fridley said they served warrants on properties in Salmon Creek and Dutyville, as well as another between Petrolia and Honeydew that had 13 greenhouses and more than 3,100 plants. While all three properties had environmental violations, Fridley said the third was the worst and described seeing a “whole creek washed out because of a culvert they put there. It was pretty bad.” Information from all three warrants is being passed on to the Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office for potential prosecutions, Fridley said. Fridley’s crew served a fourth search warrant in the Conklin Creek area but came up empty, saying the plants had been moved prior to their arrival, possibly due to previous scouting overflights having frightened off the growers. “The helicopter [probably] scared them away,” he said. “They moved everything.” Earlier in the morning, passersby reported seeing what one called “the biggest crew” he’d ever seen gathering off Avenue of the Giants north of Founders Grove, readying for the raids. “They took up the entire spot there at the Dyerville Overlook,” one person said, adding that there were at least 20 unmarked pickup trucks, as well as other vehicles. The service of search warrants continued the morning of Aug. 6, with at least one nervous grower reporting that he escaped unscathed. The grower, who has a permitted property but requested anonymity, said he saw the MET show up on the road to his property. “There’s like 25 cop cars all the way

down the dirt road as far as you can see,” he said. “They were obviously in a hurry. … We had the road blocked by a truck that we were loading [with garbage].” After they moved the truck, the team continued to the property but when presented with permitting paperwork, the grower said they politely left. “They were cool and moved on,” he said. The owner was particularly pleased because, though he felt he had done everything possible on his end, the state delayed in processing his paperwork and his state licenses had lapsed. “We were in a gray area,” he explained. “The state temp license had expired but the property has valid county permits. The state is slow [in processing the permits].” He said he was delighted that the team’s actions followed “what the sheriff ’s department has been saying.” Even though it was early in the day, he said he thought he’d “crack a beer.” Gov. Gavin Newsom made national news back in February, when he announced he would be withdrawing most of the state’s National Guard troops along the U.S. Mexico border and redeploying them, including some who would be sent north and tasked with eliminating unlicensed cannabis farms. The announcement came on the heels of a new report from the California Cannabis Advisory Committee, which analyzed the state’s first year of legalized recreational sales and found that “fragmented and uncoordinated” enforcement efforts were allowing the illicit market to flourish, which was undercutting the regulated market through unfair competition. Of the roughly 10,000 cannabis grow operations the Humboldt County Sheriff ’s Office estimates exist within county lines, fewer than a third are permitted or in the process of attaining a permit, based on the estimates and figures from the Humboldt County Planning Department. ● Editor’s note: This story was compiled from several that first appeared at www.kymkemp.com and is reprinted here with permission.

McGuire’s Tax Return Law Challenged

egislation co-authored by North Coast state Sen. Mike McGuire and signed into law late last month by Gov. Gavin Newsom that would require presidential candidates to disclose their tax returns in order to appear on the California primary ballot has — unsurprisingly — drawn a flurry of legal challenges, including one from the president himself. Senate Bill 27, which the governor signed July 30, would require presidential and gubernatorial candidates to file five years’ worth of federal income tax returns with the Secretary of State to appear on the California primary ballot. In the ensuing week, the conservative nonprofit Judicial Watch, President Donald Trump and his campaign, and the Republican state and national parties have combined to file three separate lawsuits challenging the new law. Each case alleges California’s move to make releasing a candidate’s tax returns a prerequisite to being placed on the state’s primary ballot is unconstitutional. “We will not allow California’s Democrats to use the state’s voters as pawns in their petty political vendettas to trample all over the Constitution,” RNC National Committee member and Vice President of the Republican National Lawyers Association, Harmeet K. Dhillon said in a release. “This law is a cynical and illegal voter suppression scheme whose sole purpose is to deny California voters their Constitutionally protected right to vote for qualified candidates for president, and to suppress the Republican vote in California not just for president but also for all the down-ticket races, ballot measures and power grabs the Democrats have in store for the 2020 ballot.” McGuire, meanwhile, shot back at Trump and what his office deemed “a frivolous lawsuit against the state of California.”

“Releasing of tax returns has never been a big deal, up until now. All presidents have done it for 40 years,” McGuire said. “It comes as no surprise that President Trump would freak out at the prospect of presidential transparency and accountability, but he will need to get used to it. Welcome to the rule of law, Mr. President.” Judicial Watch, a self-described “conservative, non-partisan educational foundation” that “promotes transparency, accountability and integrity in government, politics and the law,” filed the first federal lawsuit just as the ink set on McGuire’s bill, with Judicial Watch arguing the legislation adds requirements “beyond those allowed by the U.S. Constitution and impermissibly burdens a voters’ expressive constitutional and statutory rights.” In signing the bill — a version of which his predecessor vetoed — Newsom stated that “these are extraordinary times and states have a legal and moral duty to do everything in their power to ensure leaders seeking the highest offices meet minimal standards, and to restore public confidence.” McGuire co-authored the legislation with Sen. Scott Wiener, of San Francisco, targeting presidential candidates and the gubernatorial provision was added at Newsom’s request. Included as an addendum to Newsom’s signing statement on the bill are comments from three attorneys who the governor’s office describes as “nationally recognized leaders in constitutional law” defending the bill. Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed similar legislation in 2017, in part citing concerns over whether it could withstand a legal challenge. “Today we require tax returns but what would be next? Five years of health records? A certified birth certificate? High school report cards? And will these requirements vary depending on which

Kayakers Find Body: A group of kayakers found a dead body in the water near Trinidad shortly before 10 a.m. Aug. 4. “We found him bobbing in the water around the corner from the north end of College Cove,” one of the kayakers said. The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office said that the deceased man appears to have been a white male in his 60s and asked anyone with information about his identity to call authorities. POSTED 08.04.19

political party is in power?” Brown wrote in his veto message. Echoing those remarks (and quoting them), Judicial Watch says the precedent being set by the Golden State could have far-reaching repercussions. “Using rationales similar to California’s, states might come to demand medical records, mental health records, sealed juvenile records, driving records, results of intelligence, aptitude, or personality tests, college applications, Amazon purchases, Google search histories, browsing histories or Facebook friends,” the release states. Ultimately, the foundation argues, the tax return policy boils down to a direct rebuke to President Donald Trump, who has refused to turn over his tax information in reversal of a tradition that dates back half a century. “California politicians, in their zeal to

attack President Trump, passed a law that also unconstitutionally victimizes California voters,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in the release. “It is an obvious legal issue that a state can’t amend the U.S. Constitution by adding qualifications in order to run for president. The courts can’t stop this abusive law fast enough.” (Historical side note: The pre-Trump established practice of releasing tax returns is widely touted as dating back to President Richard Nixon but he didn’t start the ball rolling voluntarily. It was only after his were leaked to the press — showing he wasn’t paying much — that Nixon turned over more on his own accord, setting the stage for future candidates who would do the same. Until 2016.) — Kimberly Wear POSTED 08.06.19 READ THE FULL STORY ONLINE.

That’s a Wrap: The Humboldt Crabs finished their season, beating out the Pacific Union Financial Capitalists 6-4 to end the year with a 33-16 record. Earlier in the week, the Crabbies swept their crosstown rival B52s at Bomber Field in a rollicking series that featured long beer lines and plenty of Bomber Burgers (a cheeseburger with two grilled cheese sandwiches for buns, for the uninitiated). The Crabs crawled to a 6-10 record this year before catching fire and finishing on a 27-6 run. POSTED 08.01.19

ost of the time when we say something is a popularity contest, it’s a bad thing. The exception is our annual Best of Humboldt, when our readers vote on their local faves from barbecue to skate parks. It’s like voting for prom kings and queens, but without the drama. Or is it? There were some stunning upsets this year, like Happy Donuts unseating the previously undefeated Don’s Donuts and Pineapple Express Hawaiian Plate Lunch truck rolling up on Cecil’s New Orleans Bistro for the Best Eats in SoHum sash. Best Sushi was a major change-up, too, with Tomo knocking Sushi Spot Arcata to second place. This year the Logger Bar’s Bunny Walthuis makes her first appearance as Best Bartender over last year’s favorite Mike Vitello at the Shanty. Likewise, Kathleen Bryson lets go of her Best Attorney and Best Law Office titles to Thomas Hjerpe and Zwerdling Law Firm, respectively. Other firsts include Blue Ox as Best Women’s Clothing Store and cannabis product makers Papa & Barkley taking Best Humboldt Product (non-food). So enjoy the drama and celebrate the winners just like you did at prom. And if you’re joining us for the Best of Humboldt party on Saturday, Aug. 10 at 7:30 p.m., feel free to come to the Inn at 2nd & C in your prom finest ($40, $35 advance). Only this time don’t spend the evening fighting in the limo, drinking from a hairspray bottle filled with smuggled vodka or crying into your scratchy lace fingerless gloves in the ladies’ room because this night was supposed to be, like, special. Perhaps I’ve said too much.

SAMMY’S BBQ AND CATERING BEFORE THE SMELL of smoky Hawaiian-style barbecued chicken wafted from its Eureka restaurant, before folks took the King Salmon exit to eat ribs by the canal, Sammy’s began as a catering business. I’m strongly recommending you hire this family operation for anything you’re inviting me to because, sweet lard, owner Sammy Vainuku offers a roast pig. “The whole roasted pig

is a big attraction,” says his wife Sarah Vainuku, who runs the catering, adding that the business is “booked solid May through September,” primarily with weddings. Hear that? You could have Spam musubi and a pig surrounded by flowers (on fancy China or paper plates!) and marry like some kind of island royalty instead of making me eat the gristly

end of the prime rib you felt obligated to spring for. And don’t sleep on the pineapple upside-down cake baked by Sammy’s mother, Leua. Would she do a wedding cake version? Sammy shrugs and answers, “She would because she never says no.” Order one of those and I’ll officiate your nuptials for free. Well, for cake, anyway. — Jennifer Fumiko Cahill

WHAT’S BETTER than eating out, having a brew or two, and listening to live music in a scenic setting with your best friends? How about having your favorite furry companion by your side, too? Heckin’ yeah! Fortunately for you and Fido there are a pawful of local establishments where a human’s best friend can wag along. And you voted Mad River Brewing Co. the sweet spot for Spot. Tell your Texas heeler to load up in the truck and head to the taproom for pints, bites (of the food variety) and toe tapping, tail wagging tunes. Toss your pooch a Tater Tot or two to keep everyone happy — it’s like cornhole, only more fun. The outdoor seating in communal picnic tables with occasional sun umbrellas plus steel bowls of fresh cold water on the ground make for a spectacular summer afternoon dining experience for two- and four-legged folk alike. And if there are any leftovers (although we doubt it) be sure to ask for a doggy bag. — Kali Cozyris

ALL RIGHT, let’s get this straight. Beer isn’t for everyone. There, I said it. It tastes bitter and sometimes it’s too hoppy. (Although I’m starting my slow roll into drinking beer with blonde ales.) But for right now I am sticking with hard ciders. They’re delicious, sweet and come in a wide variety at Humboldt Cider Co. Y’all made the right choice for this one. Humboldt Cider Co. has created 50 different ciders for our enjoyment. These folks have ciders for all! Want something dry? Sweet? Fruity? They’ve probably got it — even some with hops for you beer lovers. How ‘bout them apples? *Winks awkwardly* — Iridian Casarez

Dustin Thompkins of The Undercovers.

Band

THE UNDERCOVERS COVER BANDS had never been my thing. No disrespect but I always felt that if I wanted to hear Prince belt out “Let’s Go Crazy,” Tom Petty run through “I Won’t Back Down” or the Beatles reminisce on “Yesterday,” well, they all did a pretty damn good job so why reinvent the wheel? Well, that is until one night a samba show took me to Six Rivers Brewery where the cleverly named The Undercovers opened. In the span of about 30 minutes, I was treated to a ripping rendition of Guns N’ Roses’ “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” a seemingly-blasphemous-yet-somehow-perfect mashup of Sugar Hill Gang’s “Rappers Delight” with Queen’s “Another One Bites the Dust,” and a racing version of Bruno Mars’ “Uptown Funk.” Plus, they’ve got the whole Phil Collins/Karen Carpenter thing going with Matthew Cox delivering lead vocals while also holding down the drums, which is just plain cool. The kicker came when bassist Dustin Thompkins took the mic and broke into Notorious BIG’s “Hypnotize,” which is probably something no cover band should ever do. But Thompkins crushed it and now all my daydreams of semi-lavish private parties include The Undercovers. — Thadeus Greenson

BEST OF 2019 Brothers Jamie and Jordan Krause of Humboldt Bay Trade and Pawn.

Pawn Shop

HUMBOLDT BAY TRADE AND PAWN CHANCES ARE you’ve seen the sign for Humboldt Bay Trade and Pawn (aka Humboldt Pawn) soaring over one of Eureka’s main thoroughfares. And, perhaps, you’ve been a bit curious. Maybe it’s time you went inside. Carrying on a service of short-term loans and cash for goods that its website describes as dating back to ancient China and the Greek and Roman empires, pawnbroking is gaining a resurgence in the modern age with the popularity of TV shows like Pawn Stars. Having garnered a solid reputation over the last 20 years, local bargain hunters have also long known that this family-owned business is a must, whether you’re looking for a certain tool to finish that do-it-yourself project or a new guitar because you’re getting the band back together. Then, of course, there’s the jewelry. Don’t forget the jewelry. — Kimberly Wear

NORTHTOWN BOOKS

IN THE WEEKS before every Christmas of my childhood, my dad would gather me and my three siblings into the family van and we’d head to his favorite bookstore, Cody’s in Berkeley. He’d turn us loose, letting us each pick out a few books that he’d then wrap up and give us for Christmas. We’d make a day of it, spending hours combing the shelves and sitting in the aisles to page through our finds. And into adulthood, books remained the primary gifts my father and I exchanged. When my partner and I first moved to Humboldt County, my dad would visit and take us to Northtown Books, where we’d take over the large sofa chairs, pet the dog, peruse the offerings and compare finds. (He always bought us a few books, too.) My dad died seven years ago but I still think of him every time I walk into Northtown Books, as does my daughter when I bring her every December to pick out a few books she’d like for Christmas. — Thadeus Greenson

Tire Shop

Joe Gosselin of Tony Gosselin & Sons.

TONY GOSSELIN & SONS’ TIRE IT WAS ABOUT a year ago that a flat on my partner’s car took me into the local storefront of a national tire chain. The tire was unfixable, as I’d suspected, but the sales clerk told me that we wouldn’t need just one new tire. Instead, because the car is an all-wheel-drive vehicle, he said we’d need four new ones, as all the tires would need the same amount of tread. I walked away stunned and daunted at the prospect of finding somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,000 because I’d gotten a flat. Then I went to Tony Gosselin & Sons Tire in Eureka hoping for better news. “Not to worry,” a helpful sales rep told me, explaining that the shop had a machine that would shave tread off tires, so the new one would be exactly the same size as the other three. I expressed my gratitude and explained what that other shop had said. He said that was strange because that particular national chain sends tires to Gosselin’s to be shaved down and so damn well knew that was an option. It was in that moment I decided Gosselin’s would be my first call for all future tire needs. — Thadeus Greenson

Place to Adopt an Animal

SEQUOIA HUMANE SOCIETY

BEFORE THESE FURRY FRIENDS find a forever home, they live their next-to-best lives in the safety and comfort of the Sequoia Humane Society’s no-kill shelter, which is dedicated to reducing pet overpopulation through adoption, spay and neuter programs and education. While in Sequoia’s care, cats big and small live in a communal living space that — according to the shelter’s website — has an enclosed outdoor room where the felines can bask in the sun, as cats do. The dogs, meanwhile, enjoy pampering as well, including walks three times a day and occasional fieldtrips to the beach or other local sites with their volunteer companions. But, in the end, nothing can replace a home to call their own. So if your home has some extra room for a new family member, you know who to call. — Kimberly Wear

HE MIGHT BE NEW on campus but that didn’t stop freshman Supervisor Steve Madrone from taking on another title this year. The longtime Trinidad resident — who successfully rode a dark horse in the race to take the venerable Fifth District crown in a down-to-the wire win from a two-time incumbent — also swept the popular vote among Journal readers, besting some his fellow supervisors in the process. But lest one think Madrone taking the title is just a display of Journal readers’ political leanings, the contest was actually a classic showcase of Humboldt County’s deep divides, with none other than his dais nemesis Rex Bohn coming in as the runner up. — Kimberly Wear

That’s a lot of trash that travels 200 miles away only to be dumped into a landfill. Why let that trash go to waste (see what I did there?) when you can divert that organic and food garbage to a worm farm? The Local Worm Guy is this year’s New Business winner, as it should be. LWG offers an innovative residential curbside pick-up service that turns your food waste into worm castings. Not to mention they also sell worms for all you gardeners and composters.

TABLE TALK

bubbles-arcata.com

n the way that Colette might have looked back on her love affairs with a calmer eye and an appreciation for the sudden and temporary passions that drove her to reckless choices, so do I look back on the trail of condiments with which I have been briefly and tumultuously obsessed. The first was likely Hellman’s mayonnaise (aka Best Foods), which my grandmother spread on toasted pumpernickel and English muffins. Streaked with soy sauce, it allowed me to down even the most dreaded childhood vegetables, like steamed broccoli and cauliflower. Soon it became my go-to for anything green, then everything but sweets. Once I grew out of it (or did we just run out of mayo?), I moved on to a series of mustards, cluttering our refrigerator with little bottles. Then there was vinegar, white on fried noodles and malt on fries. Then steak sauce. Sweet chili sauce. We’re still on and off. When my college roommate casually slid the first bottle of Tapatío I’d ever seen

across the table to me, I was caught off guard, expecting something like Tabasco, on which I’d already burned out. (In my defense, I was from a Northeastern dead zone for Mexican food and didn’t see a soft taco until I showed up at school in Santa Barbara.) I didn’t drown my plate in it but all at once it became indispensable. I lost perspective. No savory food was safe from a few shakes of the bottle of salsa picante — my pizza slices (and crusts), instant ramen, eggs, spaghetti and whatever I was having over rice were all shared with the gentleman in the sombrero. Did I splash it over kimchi? Maybe I did. It’s all a red ochre blur. Once what I call a bout of “condimentia” subsides, I emerge from the frenzy a little dazed but not completely tired of the flavor. Age has mellowed the intensity of these whirlwind romances but one still strikes me now and again, like last year, when I was working my way through bottles of gochujang. Judge me if you want but who doesn’t have a torrid past

with Sriracha or ranch? I see you with that Nutella jar. Let there be no shame in occasionally getting carried away. Here are four local offerings that have lately held me in thrall. J Catering Dressing This fancy glass bottle of ranch showed up in our breakroom and ruined me for any other with its fresh chives and ridiculous richness. There’s no hint of the sugar I now find unbearable in the usual pop-top variety. Friends, it’s $10.89 at the North Coast Co-op and I do not feel ripped off in the least. Nervous that someone will see me and assume I’m shopping drunk, yes. But not ripped off. I have given it as a small gift, dipped potato chips in it and passed it off as homemade in coleslaw only to later crumble like bleu cheese and confess. The discovery of its bleu cheese sibling — tart, creamy and dotted with bits of cheese, rivaling any fancy steakhouse’s — was an aftershock ($11.99). Lindah’s Hot-N-Sweet Mustard Evidently everyone has been eating this without me. It’s truth in advertising personified: a hot mustard with a sweet tang that’s not as cloying as all that honey mustard we went nuts with in the late 1980s ($4). (What were we doing with our curled bangs, trickle-down economics and turkey sandwiches slathered with candy mustard?) It’s closer to the light sinus burn of standard Chinese mustard with the zing of apple cider vinegar, tempered by sugar. And now I cannot imagine eating a pretzel without dunking it in this mustard first. Taste of Bim Hot Pepper Dipping Sauce News editor Thad Greenson once entered my office to find me red faced and

watery eyed, breathing in deep sighs at my desk. He closed the door and whispered, “Is everything all right?” I was forced to tell my colleague that I was not having an emotional meltdown and in fact had spooned too much of this tomato-sweet Caribbean sauce onto my lunch. Not my proudest office moment. The first few seconds are all about the garlic, tomato and red pepper, but the heat is coming. And it lingers. The flavor lures me out of my chile strike zone until chasing it leaves my mascara down around my chin. The jars are not in stores these days but you can pop into the restaurant and have one filled straight from the pot ($8). Hum Yum Sea Salt Caramel Sauce This simple and lovely sauce made from cream, butter, sugar, vanilla and sea salt is the spoon-able version of Hum Yum’s little wrapped boutique organic candies ($6). It adds wholesome luxury to ice cream, the last corner brownie in the pan, cinnamon raisin bread (trust me) or a large spoon. It’s everything you love about good caramel, like the kind that comes in the center of fancy chocolates, and not overly salty — in fact, a final garnish of a few flakes of salt would not be amiss when serving. Ditch the lid and you can microwave the jar to pour it out warm. There’s even a runnier but still tasty vegan version ($6).

ART BEAT

The Painting on the Wall Eureka Street Art Festival 2019 By Gabrielle Gopinath artbeat@northcoastjournal.com

t the block party for the second annual Eureka Street Art Festival, more than a dozen artists hailing from points ranging from Bayside to Buenos Aires were steadily moving toward completion in front of ebullient crowds. Many had been working in public all week — spraying, brushing, gridding and stenciling, shimmying up and down ladders and hydraulic lifts. Layer by layer, popsicle-bright paintings were taking shape on storefronts and capacious old woodframed buildings. The palette of the Sixth Street commercial area was evolving from dirt-adjacent neutrals into something hotter. Artists who had been dressed down earlier that day had mostly changed into paint-spattered hoodies or overalls by the time the fog rolled in. On G Street a small crowd was watching an enormous mural that featured contributions from multiple festival artists go up, swaying happily to Bandemonium’s Dixieland rendition of “Happy Trails,” while the view of the Samoa Bridge got lost in mist. Artists in this year’s festival concentrated their efforts on Sixth Street between E and H streets, where walking now feels like scrolling past one colorful mural-scape after another. Unrelated images’ common denominator is clickbait-worthiness: There’s a gorilla followed by a psychedelic mandala in full color, towering redwoods in black and white, and a wall of stylized flames. It’s a slow-food version of the blitz of pictures one tunnels through in surfing the web. Bird-O’s snarling ape and Qbert-looking 3-D cubes play to 1980s nostalgia. Sonny Wong’s angular hipster tinkering with his schooner-in-a-bottle should win an award for slyest play on the “Victorian seaport” past. On the corner of F and 14th streets, the upper story of Partrick’s Candy Store now dematerializes in a drift of candy-colored, pill-shaped lozenges painted by Bareket Kezwer. Nick Sweetman’s mural on the side of Eureka Stove uses delirious pinks and purples to

recall the sherbet gaudiness of certain Humboldt sunsets, picturing the beauty of the land and its seabird inhabitants while leaving humans out of it. During one of Eureka’s previous periods of intensive public-art creation in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Duane Flatmo and members of the Rural Burl Mural Bureau, the public-arts collective for high school students he founded and directed, dominated the local scene. Flatmo was on hand refurbishing the elegantly stylized frieze of tropical vegetation he’d completed on the side of the Wells Fargo building some 20 years before. Former bureau member Lucas Thornton, who is now beginning a mural on the Redwood Arts Association building on Sixth and F streets, recalled that this had been the site of his first mural painting experience. A shirtless, purple-haired Blake Reagan stood in front of his work in progress a block away and told a mural-tour crowd: “I’m having fun with the color. There’s an overlay pattern; the flowers represent the order of nature, overlaid over the chaos of humanity. It’s gonna take another couple of days.” A voice piped up: “I think that’s gonna take longer, the reconciliation of the order and the chaos.” Everyone laughed. A man on the street yelled, “What does it all mean?” One potential takeaway is that street art has expanded far beyond its roots. The term now covers pretty much any type of visual expression one might make in public. Graffiti writing and culture,

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Aug. 8, 2019 • northcoastjournal.com

so vitally important to earlier generations of street artists, have become minimally relevant to many younger practitioners. “He’s in a phase right now where he’s playing around with tentacles,” a tour guide said of Canadian artist Jerry Rugg, who was completing a mural on the side of Paul’s Live from New York on Saturday afternoon. Rugg, who also paints as Bird-O, was the only festival artist who adhered to graffiti art’s tradition of anonymity by refusing to allow pictures to be taken of his face. It’s striking that such a range of images is now acceptable within limits, even as unsanctioned names (other than those belonging to corporations and advertisers) remain forbidden — as indicated by the recent arrests of prolific Eureka graffiti taggers SKUNK and STAYN. Street art districts have popped up in small and mid-size cities around the country as associated effects of retail bump and foot traffic have become well documented. But such spaces are likely to be deemed expendable should gentrification send property values past a certain point, as happened in a recent high-profile case involving the Five Pointz space in Queens, New York. It remains unclear whether street art can retain the qualities that made it seem cool and edgy in the first place, now that (some of it) is in commercial demand. Vetting and review processes mean that the murals in the Sixth Street commercial district, like those in similar spaces

elsewhere, avoid any hint of controversy. (Despite or because of the extremism of the present, making or green-lighting public work that communicates an explicit position on much of anything seems to have become a non-starter.) The only works here to hazard a stance make valuable if uncontroversial arguments in favor of slow media and live connection. These include Dave van Patten and James Carey’s modest proposal to put the phone down, and Mabel Vicentef’s celebration of reading. Many street artists will tell you that they strive to entertain. Mission accomplished, judging by the reaction of the crowds that thronged the streets during the festival’s culminating block party. I asked a man wearing a baseball hat and a shark-tooth earring on the corner of Sixth and F streets how it was going. “Great people-watching opportunities,” he replied, grinning. “A classic Humboldt crowd.” And it was. Patagonia-clad urban wanderers mingled with off-shift workers in broken-in Carhartts. There were matrons in yoga pants alongside ragged men with facial tattoos and jittery extremities, adorable free-range children and dogs aplenty. To feel the vibe was to tap into grassroots hunger for a common culture and speculate that public art’s role as social catalyst might have become one of its most vital functions. ● Gabrielle Gopinath is an art writer, critic and curator based in Arcata.

Lawyers, Guns and Money vs. Us

T HE O LDS T E E P LE .CO M

By Collin Yeo

music@northcoastjournal.com

t was a rough weekend for anybody who has a negative opinion about mass gun violence in America. I’d like to address this issue but I don’t want to do so broadly, so I will only speak to those who want to see change in the current trajectory of our country, and by the time I am done it will become clear why. It would be easy to just watch the president sniff his way through a poorly read and still fucked-up performative statement (Toledo?), fume about his oafishness on Facebook and call it done. But like protest music, literature or art, alone it does nothing to change our material reality. The New York Times tells us in its opinion page that we are suffering from an epidemic of white terrorism, empowered by Trump and the GOP. Other countries skip the pretense and simply report this as news, largely because it happens to be true. So what do we do if we are bothered by this? It’s often pointed out by left-wing luminaries that there are more of us than there are atavistic and reactionary racists, but that means nothing if we don’t act. And what can we do if we are hamstrung by the realities of a failing democracy? If the laws don’t change, we must change the lawmakers. Let’s start with the Democratic Party. We didn’t mobilize for a historic midterm blue wave election to watch Nancy Pelosi sarcastically clap and then give Trump billions for his detention camps, did we? Shahid Buttar is trying to primary her next year — maybe help him out. Are we really going to pretend that Joe Biden is the best that we can do in 2020? A man whose eight years as the vice president and president of the Senate oversaw an unprecedented gains and deceptions by the GOP, leading to our current state of affairs under sentient skidmark Mitch McConnell? No, thanks. Get more progressive, demand a better opposition party from the Democrats and tell your friends. Stop trying to build bridges with the GOP; they’re lost. Instead focus on beating them and marginalizing their votes as they have marginalized the votes of the majority of Americans. Organize, contribute time and money to progressive candidates and, if all else fails, call a general strike. Be like Puerto Rico or Hong Kong. It’s late but it isn’t too late. The other side is full of buffoons. (I mean

Brett the Truck plays Logger Bar tonight at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 10. Photo by D. Funada, submitted really, Toledo? How hard is it not to fuck up saying Dayton?) They will fold under our numbers. And we have those numbers. If you really believe in progress, start practicing solidarity because you have nothing but allies across this beautiful country. Be safe, have a busy week.

Thursday

PD3 is a local trio made up of drummer Paul DeMark and Fred Neighbor and Bruce Johnson on guitar and vocals and bass and vocals respectively. You can catch the guys this evening at 6 p.m. over at the Mad River Brewery for some jazz by the river (free).

Friday

San Francisco’s SunQ is a drum and bass duo that plays in a sort of whacky and technical instrumental, which is fun and comically endearing. Blondies is the place to catch this act tonight at 8 p.m., followed up by a new local bluesy jam rock band called Big Mama Acid & the Cosmic Argonauts (price TBA). Far out.

Saturday

Brett the Truck is playing a rare live show at the Logger Bar tonight at 8 p.m. Who is/are Brett the Truck? Well, let me tell you. It’s a weirdo folk rock monster quartet formed in San Francisco many years ago and fronted by local caterer and music-scene stalwart Brett Shuler as a means to showcase his interesting and oddball songwriting. Shuler gave me a CD of one of his live shows from 15 years ago and I have to admit I have enjoyed it, particularly the tracks “Milk Fart” and “Mr. Poison.” Don’t you dare call yourself a connoisseur of Humboldt culture if you miss this show because this is who we are, distilled and wetly imbibed (free).

Sunday There’s a 2 p.m. matinee show today at the Trinidad Town Hall as a part of the ongoing Trinidad Art and Music Festival, and this one looks mighty good. Quattro Celli is a quartet made up of — what else? — cellists Carol Jacobson, Anthony Polcari, Garrick Woods and Peter Kibbe.

Today’s program promises pieces by the magnificent mind of the baroque era, Mr. J.S. Bach, as well as other tunes by his contemporaries ($20).

Monday Crickets. Tumbleweeds. A distant animal howling. A small but determined beetle makes its way across the two-lane blacktop with excruciating slowness. It is ultimately successful; there is no traffic today.

Tuesday Haitiian-born musician, rapper, producer and one-third of perennially adored ’90s act The Fugees, Wyclef Jean is an international household name. Tonight he returns to our county — the southern part anyway — to raise the roof of the Mateel Community Center with songs from his long career. If you have a fondness for the music of Mr. Jean and the embattled Mateel, this would be a great night to show up at 9 p.m. and show some support ($40 general, $99 VIP package with an artist meet and greet).

Wednesday For 15 years and running, England’s Action Beat has been a percussion-heavy noise band with a touring roster of at least nine members and three drumkits. This is a big sound experience, something akin to a more anarchic version of Glen Branca’s guitar orchestras of the early No Wave 1980s. Tonight the Beat takes over the Miniplex at 8:30 p.m. ($10). Along for the fun is New York City’s post-industrial punk band Opening Bell and Fortuna’s own answer to the sound of silence, Car Made of Glass. Wear earplugs. ●

MUSIC

Come One, Come All Nonoka Mozukami. Submitted

Sounds by the Sea One of Humboldt County’s gems is the town of Trinidad. The quaint coastal community is the perfect place to host a festival where attendees can spend their weekend days dining, shopping, hiking and recreating before settling in for evening concerts in an intimate setting. The Trinidad Bay Art & Music Festival celebrates its third year of gathering and showcasing world-class musicians — most of whom have ties right here — to share their gifts with the community. For two weekends, Aug. 9-11 and Aug. 16-18, those musicians will fill the Trinidad Town Hall with fine classical music. The festival sets the tone for excellence by presenting renowned marimba player Nonoka Mozukami, playing a marimba created by Arcata’s own Marimba One, on opening night, Aug. 9 at 8 p.m. ($30). Local virtuosos Terrie Baune (violin), Carol Jacobson (cello) and John Chernoff (piano) perform as the Temporary Resonance Ensemble, Saturday, Aug. 10 at 8 p.m. ($30). Hometown son Carson McHaney (Eureka) plays violin with the Cornell Quartet the first night of the second weekend, Aug. 16 at 8 p.m. ($30), and Daniella Mineva (piano) and Peter Kibbe (cello) present cello and piano masterworks on Saturday, Aug. 17 at 8 p.m. The festival has more concerts well worth your attention and our mention here, but, as they say, space is limited. For more on the performances, see the Journal’s calendar or get a full rundown, including composers, pieces and ticket information, at www.tbamfest.com. — Kali Cozyris

As usual, the Creamery Festival is making a spectacle of itself and you are all invited. Giant puppets and tightrope walkers, acrobats and aerialists, musicians and merry makers are all making their way to the celebration Aug. 15-18 in the historic Creamery District. For those of you who’ve never been (this is the year to rectify that!), the Creamery Festival, presented by the Arcata Playhouse, is a huge, family-friendly party with pageantry, art, food and drink, live music and a big-top circus. It’s thrills and frills for everyone. The festivities get underway Thursday, Aug. 15 at 7 p.m. with the super popular Flynn Creek Circus and its new Out of Hat show. The no-animal circus takes you back in time, performing in a vintage big top tent with jugglers, acrobats, comedians and more ($27, $12 kids). Performances continue all days of the festival. On Friday, Aug. 16 from 6 to 9 p.m., the festival presents Third Friday fun with a bustling marketplace with artisan shops, food and drink vendors, and live music by Frogbite. Also at the festival are Lush Newton’s outdoor art exhibit “California State Creamery: The Land of Milk and Honey” and Tim Gray’s “Footfall,” an audio installation created to accompany a stroll around the Creamery District. Come back Saturday, Aug. 17 to the Creamery Courtyard from 3 to 7 p.m. for more marketplace treasures and music from Oyster Baes, Blood Hunny and Sue and the Namis. Really big things are happening Saturday night with Playhouse’s signature outdoor performance spectacle Elemental and its aforementioned giant puppets and stilt walkers, performers, live music, dancers, fairies and more parading all around the Creamery Building starting at 8 p.m. (free). — Kali Cozyris

Unicorns

And other hard-to-find critters By Anthony Westkamper humbug@northcoastjournal.com

Nymphs on patrol I have seen alarmingly few dragonflies along my stretch of the Van Duzen River this year. Where I’m used to seeing dozens in a day, I’m seeing one or none. About the only species I’ve seen recently hereabouts is the large black and yellow western river cruiser (Macromia magnifica) patrolling along gravel roads parallel to the river’s course. Dragonflies, being an apex predator in their arena, can be an indicator of the overall health of a stream. The other day I saw the first common wood nymph (Ceceronis pegala) of the season. Having one brood per year and often foraging on fruit past its prime, they are my hint that fall is on its way. Although the species can vary in its coloration throughout its extensive range hereabouts, these are a rich, dark cocoa powder brown. Lately I’ve also seen several specimens of Herpetogramma pertextalis, the bold feathered grass moth, around lights at my house. Along with its markings, when at rest, they hold their antennae swept back in a graceful pair of intersecting curves, making this species one of my favorite small moths. I’ve been enjoying using the newest addition to my entomological book collection Butterflies of the Pacific Northwest. This is a durably built softcover book of more than 400 pages. It is heavily illustrated with photos and has enough technical information to be useful — as approachable as it is exhaustive. If you live in Cascadia and are interested in butterflies, this is the book to get.

Mandibles and mosquito catchers Like any collector, I have my unicorns. Near the top of my list was Holorusia haspera, the western giant crane fly. Looking like the biggest mosquito you’ve ever seen, this is an impressive critter. I grew up calling them “mosquito catchers.” As larvae, they live near water, feeding on decaying vegetation in the moist soil. As adults, they are not known to feed at all. These fragile creatures’ resemblance to the pesky little vampires often gets them killed. I hadn’t seen one in years. The day after I received my newest camera, ordered for its impressive focus stacking capability, I noticed one with a nearly 5-inch leg span on my wall. It was very cooperative so I took dozens of shots using every technique I know for the little camera. Yay, for coincidence. After our photo session, I moved my model outside and let it go. I could have killed and mounted it but had no reason to. The photos are enough and I hope it goes forth and multiplies. On July 18, I found a giant California prionus (Prionus californicus) beetle in my local hardware store parking lot. It was on its back and, at first, I thought it was dead. But it moved when I picked it up. This is the largest beetle I know from our area. Its larvae are considered a serious pest, gnawing on the roots of fruit trees and other useful plants. Although as adults they do not eat, they do carry an impressive set of bolt cutter-like mandibles. l Read more of Anthony Westkamper’s HumBug column on Sundays at www.northcoastjournal.com.

Review

OPHELIA. As the title character of Ophelia tells us at the outset, “It is high time I should tell you my story myself.” So begins this re-telling of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, one that adds dimension and depth to its characters. Shakespeare fans will appreciate Ophelia but so will non-fans. It’s a story of empowerment and choice. When her story opens, Ophelia is a little girl. But she can’t go to school with her friends; girls aren’t allowed to learn. They can’t be in libraries. But the (sometimes) good Queen Gertrude (Naomi Watts, who also plays another character) takes the motherless girl under her wing as a lady in waiting. Young adult Ophelia is played by Daisy Ridley, an ethereal-looking redhead (at least, in the movie). As she grows up, she’s constantly reminded of her stature as a woman of lower class by her peers. At one point she muses that she’d like to learn the healing arts but is told, “You’re a lady in waiting. Learn to wait.” For what, Ophelia asks? A husband, comes the reply. Whether she takes this advice or not is at the crux of the plot, which differs somewhat from that of Shakespeare’s original play. The film weaves in and out between the story we know — the death of the king and the queen’s subsequent marriage to his power-hungry brother Claudius (played by Clive Owen in a long, dusty cape and greasy hair) and all the shenanigans the characters get up to — and Ophelia’s story. In this telling she actually has a story and it’s much more interesting than you might think. Australian filmmaker Claire McCarthy, along with screenwriter Semi Chellas (Mad Men, The Romanoffs) have given us more to chew on, transforming Ophelia from merely a scorned, virtuous girl into someone with agency. There are many times throughout the film that women take power — at least, the amount of power available to them, whether they sneak or steal it. But the women in the film aren’t just trying to gain

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Aug. 8, 2019 • northcoastjournal.com

When the bride says you can totally wear this bridesmaid dress again. Ophelia power in the same way men are in the play; they mostly just want independence, like all girls. Of course, this can’t be gained without consequences. In an interview with Vanity Fair, director McCarthy noted, “We decided in a world in which women are not valued ... they would use the tools that they already have in their hands or they’ll use the tools of that world, and that world would bring them down.” That world would be the Middle Ages, when women underwent forced marriages and being put to death for witchcraft, among other things — see this movie for details! However, McCarthy does a good job of walking the line of what might have been possible for a woman with a sense of self during that time period, and she shows her three main female characters to be resourceful and complex. Hamlet’s father makes an appearance from this side of the grave in this telling. Thus the first time Hamlet returns from his studies, his father isn’t dead yet, and Hamlet (George MacKay), unencumbered by the burdens of revenge, flirts openly with Ophelia. But Hamlet himself is transformed in this telling as well. His relationship to Ophelia makes him more accessible and logical, propelling him to action. He’s not a waffler; he’s a man who knows what he wants. The plot, embellishments aside, is no less gruesome or tragic than the original Hamlet. But there is a satisfying aspect to it with regard to Ophelia, as well as the other main female characters. A multicultural cast adds sparkle to this film, though one wonders why, if we’re going to have black and Asian actors, McCarthy doesn’t just cast some of them in the principal roles. All those lead roles are filled by white people, ultimately emphasizing the fact that roles of servants are filled by people of color. The dialogue itself melds a Shakespearean style with more modern language in a clever way as to make the plot expansion seem seamless — iconic lines like “neither a borrower nor a lender be” aren’t out of

place at all. With stunning cinematography (it was filmed in the Czech Republic) and a costume color palette of saturated earth tones, dusty-rose and turquoise, Ophelia has a somewhat fairytale sensibility. I suppose Shakespeare’s plays are old enough now to seem like fairy tales and, since Hamlet takes place in the Middle Ages, the production design values fit right in. Perhaps Ophelia dies in the first telling of the story because Shakespeare couldn’t imagine a world where this virtuous, motherless woman could triumph. These filmmakers can. PG13. 114M.
