Doggerel Intent is the Same Editor: What counts as a mass shooting? (“31 Points,” Aug. 8.)

Recently there have been three mass killings: in Gilroy, El Paso and Dayton. The day before the Gilroy massacre, there was also a mass shooting in Brooklyn, New York.

So why didn’t we see headlines about this? The reason is that, although 12 people were injured, only one died so it wasn’t a mass killing.

So why discriminate between mass killings and mass shootings? I assume the intent is the same; wound and kill as many individuals as possible. And the impact on the general public is the same; it adds another brick in the wall of fear one may have in being out in a public place with others.

There is no uniform definition for mass killings. Time magazine just published a list of 2019 events using the standard of three or more killed. Much of the problem is due to the National Rifle Association. It has a history of pressuring government into not keeping any statistics that might reflect negatively on gun ownership in fear they will promote gun control.

I think it’s time to start keeping such statistics using a uniform definition of mass shootings based on the number injured, not the number who were killed.

‘The Trump Extinction Plan’ Editor: I am writing in support of the Endangered Species Act and in opposition to efforts by Congress to undermine this landmark wildlife conservation law (“Rollback of Endangered Species’ Protections Raising Fears,” posted Aug. 13).

The Endangered Species Act is a safety net for fish, plants and wildlife on the brink of extinction. Since President Nixon signed the law in 1973, hundreds of species have been saved from disappearing forever, including the American bald eagle, the peregrine falcon and the American alligator, and many more are on their way to recovery.

But now, some members of Congress are trying to weaken the Endangered Species Act to benefit developers and the oil and gas industry.

Protecting endangered species is important to me.

We have a responsibility to future generations to be good stewards and protect imperiled wildlife and the special places they call home. Our senators must oppose efforts to weaken the Endangered Species Act. Eric Zeiler, Eureka

Editor: The Trump administration just finalized regulations to dramatically weaken the Endangered Species Act — our most effective law for protecting wildlife in danger of extinction. Since President Nixon signed the law in 1973, hundreds of species have been saved from disappearing forever, including our national symbol – the bald eagle.

But the Trump Extinction Plan weakens endangered species protections by making it harder to protect species listed as threatened, delaying life-saving action until a species’ population is so small it may be impossible to save. These new rules also exempt climate change from key parts of the law, making it more difficult to protect the polar bear and many other imperiled species that are impacted by the effects of climate change. Finally, the new rules make it easier for companies to build roads, pipelines, mines and other industrial projects in areas of critical habitat that are essential to imperiled species’ survival.

The Trump Extinction Plan was drafted by former Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke and current Interior Secretary David Bernhardt, both of whom are tied to industry lobbyists and plagued by ethics scandals. Please contact our senators and urge them to overturn the Trump Endangered Species rules.

relevance to the local community that we had in KHSU prior to April of this year (“HSU Enters Interim Agreement to Farm Out KHSU Management,” posted online Aug. 9). The latest plan to transmit programming from Capital Public Radio (Sacramento) at the KHSU frequencies doesn’t appear to leave any avenue for providing local information or perspectives that we would identify as community radio of the North Coast. James Floss sums up the situation with a witty welcome to this year’s incoming students to “CSU Northmost” in his Aug. 11 Times-Standard letter to the editor. The gist of his witty piece is that listeners to KHSU will no longer hear anything that reflects the mash-up of cultures, perspectives and experiences that result in the unique, multi-faceted personality of the North Coast.

I still haven’t gotten over the disrespectful treatment of the volunteers, programmers and staff of KHSU last April. I can’t find the words to express my gratitude for the work that was put into all the local radio programs on KHSU. Can we find a way to recognize the contributions of those who made the former community radio of KHSU something that many of us enjoyed and were so proud of? It seems fitting that we, the listening community, could come together to express our gratitude to the people who were the voices of KHSU and give them the send-off that they deserve.

‘Lipstick on a Pig’ Editor: John Andersen’s attempt to put lipstick on a pig is certainly from the “ PALCO playbook” (“Come See for Yourself,” Aug. 1) The log decks are sky high and the word is Humbodt Redwood Co. is still refusing logs from smaller operators in an attempt to impact market prices. We haven’t seen forest liquidation like this since the days of Maxxam/

PALCO’s hostile take over of the Murphy family-run business.

HRC adjusted the current timber harvest plans (before their FSC audit) because they were so egregiously out of alignment with the FSC standards. As I recall, only the steepest slopes of the helicopter units were excluded.

When John Andersen refers to “saving old growth,” it’s important to point out that a single tree popping up on a cut over landscape does not a forest make. When he refers to set-asides, it’s important to know this is not the same as permanent protection or preservation. There is no long-term, in perpetuity agreements in writing for any area of the company’s holdings in the Mattole.

The language they have developed is very misleading to the public.

They claim that turning our landscape into monoculture plantations is “fir dominant restoration.” This involves the use of herbicides and creates dangerous wildfire situations from increased fuels, leaving surrounding communities at risk.

For all of our conversations and socalled “tours,” it hasn’t made much of a difference. I am left with the impression this has all been for show and an opportunity for HRC to check a box off on their requirements. That would be the pesky forest community box allowing them to say, “We gave them a tour before we cut it down.

We’re good to go.”

‘A Must’ Editor: I am a Humboldt County native raised here and am now raising my children here.

I have traveled to Sacramento, Washington, D.C., Southern California, Mexico, etc. for tours and meetings that have to do with resource policy and legislation.

Humboldt’s proposed wind project is a

must (“Why I Support Terra-Gen’s Wind Project,” June 27, and “Hook, Line and Turbine,” July 4).

Four Klamath dams are set for decommission and removal. The Klamath dam removals alone would eliminate 163 MW out of the system. This Humboldt wind project, at 155MW, would replace those hydroelectric projects. There are 300 construction jobs that would be created and 15 permanent jobs for families that will be created post project.

It will generate a large amount of tax revenue and help us recuperate from Humboldt’s large sales tax hit.

The wind project would tie in nicely with Humboldt’s Climate Action Plan mandated by the state. This project would allow us to be energy dependent through Redwood Coast Energy Authority or a similar entity and have the very people working on our energy grid living and thriving in our own community.

The fact is that the world’s population will double in my lifetime and, if we don’t except build out of infrastructure, there will not be enough energy, food and resources for future generations. I encourage you to keep the future of our county, our kids and their kids, in mind and support this essential opportunity.

Ryan Rice, Hydesville

Clarification It his come to the Journal’s attention that some information contained in our Aug. 1, 2019, story headlined “The Grove” was inaccurate. Although the Journal reported the Humboldt County Civil Grand Jury’s findings accurately, the grand jury report itself contained a pair of errors due to the grand jury’s misconstruing data regarding homeless and housing insecure college students. In fact, 19 percent of Humboldt State University students reported being “housing insecure” at some point in the prior year and 11 percent of College of the Redwoods students who applied for scholarships indicated they were either “homeless” or “housing insecure.” The Journal regrets any confusion.

Correction A story in the Aug. 8, 2019 edition of the Journal headlined “The Painting on the Wall” misidentified the location of Duane Flatmo’s mural. It is on the wall of the Vision Center.

The Journal regrets the error.

NEWS

Trinidad Rancheria Gets ‘Conditional’ OK for Hotel Project Meanwhile, its plans for a freeway interchange slowly move forward

By Elaine Weinreb

newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

T

he California Coastal Commission went against the recommendation of its staff Aug. 8 and gave the Trinidad Rancheria the go-ahead — or a “conditional concurrence” — to build a five-story hotel on its property off Scenic Drive south of the city.

This means that the Coastal Commission, which is tasked by law with protecting the California coastline, will not stand in the way of the Bureau of Indian Affairs granting the Rancheria a lease and a loan guarantee so that the project can move forward. The “conditional” part of the concurrence means the commission is giving the Rancheria six months to come up with a reliable water source — either through an agreement with the city of Trinidad or by proving its newly drilled well has the capability to provide the 14,000 gallons of potable water per day that the hotel will require without draining neighboring wells.

Meanwhile, as the controversial hotel project has captured much of the public’s attention in recent months, the Rancheria is also moving forward with plans to build a new off-ramp of U.S. Highway 101 between Westhaven and Trinidad that would connect motorists more directly with the Rancheria’s casino and — it hopes — new hotel, and provide a more reliable route for emergency access.

The proposed hotel and its associated freeway off-ramp first daylighted on May 17, 2009, when the Trinidad Rancheria invited the community to a four-day community design fair. The purpose of the fair was to envision the Rancheria’s future and also discuss the proposed new off-ramp that would link the 73 residents of the Rancheria directly with U.S. Highway 101.

Not all the residents of the Rancheria were happy with the proposal as some expressed concerns about getting displaced from their homes to make room for a proposed gas station, RV park and com-

mercial center that were also a part of the Rancheria’s plans. Included in the visuals presented at the fair was a two-story hotel that blended into its surroundings adjacent to the casino.

The conference, which included a free meal at the casino, a performance of ceremonial dance and tours of the Rancheria, also included several community planning sessions where the audience was invited to write ideas on large sheets of butcher paper and place sticky dots on the ones that they like. The tone of the conference, which was organized by the Local Government Commission, a Sacramento-based planning firm, was pleasant and laid-back, filled with phrases like “walkability” and “respect for nature.”

Some residences owned by the Rancheria are on the east side of U.S. Highway 101, separated from the Rancheria by a four-lane freeway, with no place to cross. The Rancheria wanted to remedy this situation with an overpass but during the conference some of its residents thought that a simple pedestrian overpass, one that would also allow bicycle traffic, would be an adequate solution — and not require the environmental disruption that a freeway interchange would cause.

A year later, however, the pedestrian footpaths and the walkability concept had faded into the background. What the Rancheria proposed was a full interchange from the freeway that would provide drivers with direct access to its lands and casino, and give the Rancheria’s 73 residents an emergency access point that could be used should the notoriously troubled Scenic Drive crumble during an earthquake or winter storm.

Last year, the California Transportation Commission approved a request for $775,000 of state and federal dollars to study the proposed off-ramp. The Rancheria threw in more than $1 million of its own funding. With this, the Rancheria

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Aug. 15, 2019 • northcoastjournal.com

planned to do the detailed environmental studies required for a project of this size.

The Humboldt County Association of Governments (HCAOG) is the agency charged with sorting out all the various kinds of state and federal transportation funds that can be spent within the county. According to HCAOG Executive Director Marcella Clem, the $775,000 allocation was just the first of many financial hurdles the Rancheria will have to clear in order to actually build its freeway project.

In two years, it will have to apply for more funding to purchase the extensive “right-ofway” that will be necessary to complete the project. Two years later, it must apply once again for funds to do the engineering study. Two years after that, it must apply for money to do the actual construction. Funding can be denied at any of these points, effectively killing the project, but if all goes as expected, the project will be completed in 2024 at a total cost of $38 million.

The initial Project Studies Report identified 11 possible alternative designs, ranging from a simple overpass to several varieties of full-scale freeway interchanges.

According to Caltrans District 1 spokesperson Myles Cochrane, the alternative will be selected during the environmental evaluation process. However, the Project Studies Report clearly identifies “Alternative 3-A” as the desired alternative.

Cher-Ae Lane is an access road that connects the Rancheria’s lands to Scenic Drive about 2 miles south of Trinidad.

Alternative 3-A consists of an interchange

connecting Cher-Ae Lane to the freeway, and to Scenic and Westhaven drives.

Environmental impacts, right-of-way costs and effects upon local aesthetics were rated as “high.”

According to the document, most of the parcels needed for the right-of-way already belong to the Rancheria, however, the North Coast Journal checked ownership of the parcels and found that of the 32 parcels listed in the document, only six currently are owned by the Rancheria. The others all list private ownership, except for one that belongs to the city of Trinidad.

In addition, the document mentions another 45 parcels that will be impacted without giving their specific locations because “the [right-of-way] impacts ... are based on a more general approach and therefore are not shown on the map below.”

Moreover, Alternative 3-A calls for the widening of Westhaven Drive, which would impact dozens of residences, an RV park that provides one the few locations for affordable housing in the Trinidad area, the popular Westhaven Center for the Arts and the city’s municipal water treatment plant.

While the interchange’s future remains very much unclear, the hotel project took a major step forward with the Coastal Commission’s conditional approval.

The decision came at the very end of an eight-hour meeting, an hour of which consisted of public comments offering praise or criticism of the hotel project.

Like all federally recognized tribes, the Trinidad Rancheria has the legal status of a

“Passion does not equal water... What happens if you build the hotel and there is no water?”

sovereign nation, meaning it is not subject to state or local authority, which includes the California Coastal Act. However, it is subject to the authority of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. In order to approve the project, the BIA had to affirm it wouldn’t conflict with any state laws, hence the need for the Coastal Commission’s “concurrence.” At a meeting in June, the commission “objected” to the BIA’s determination that the project was consistent with the California Coastal Act, pointing largely to uncertainty regarding where the Rancheria would get the thousands of gallons a day of potable water needed for the hotel.

The Rancheria hopes to hook up the hotel to the city of Trinidad’s municipal water system but the city is unsure of its ability to meet future needs of its own residents. It has commissioned a series of studies that will not be completed until December and the city has said it will not make any commitments to other entities before then.

The amount of water reportedly needed by the hotel seems to have been a moving target. The draft Environmental Assessment for the hotel stated that 18,860 gallons per day would be required but this decreased in subsequent documents to 14,184 gallons a day. A July 26 letter from the Rancheria said a more accurate figure would be 9,000 gallons a day, although this reflected an average based on 60 percent occupancy.

Public comment at the Aug. 8 hearing was largely split, with some lamenting the project’s impact on the scenic nature of the bluffs south of Trinidad and saying the five-story structure — which would be by far the tallest in a 20-mile radius — was incongruous with its surroundings. Others stalwartly defended the Rancheria’s right as a sovereign nation to do whatever it pleased with its land and to pursue economic vitality for its people.

When discussion returned to the commission, it was clearly conflicted, with some commissioners focusing their comments on the litany of injustices inflicted upon Native Americans since white people arrived in their territory and others appearing more concerned with apparent inconsistencies with the Coastal Act. The question of water — and more specifically what would happen if the city can’t service the hotel and Rancheria’s newly drilled well doesn’t provide enough quality drinking water — became paramount.

During one emotional exchange, Trinidad Rancheria CEO Jacque Hostler-Carmesin insisted vehemently that enough water would somehow be found and that the tribe had already sunk more than $5

million into the project.

“Passion does not equal water,” Commission Chair Dayna Bochco responded.

“What happens if you build the hotel and there is no water?”

With Hostler-Carmesin reporting that the well on the Rancheria’s property, which was apparently drilled sometime last month, can produce more than 8,000 gallons per day, the commission voted 6 to 3 to grant a conditional concurrence

for the project. But the passed motion specified that “prior to commencement of construction,” the BIA shall provide commission staff proof that either the city of Trinidad has agreed to provide water for the project or that the Rancheria has found an alternate source and conducted an analysis on its effects on coastal resource pursuant to the California Coastal Act. Newly seated Commissioner Mike Wil-

son, Humboldt’s Third District supervisor, voted with the majority to approve the conditional concurrence. l Elaine Weinreb is a freelance journalist.

‘Breaking Down’

Amid difficulties retaining police officers, contract negotiations in the Friendly City get feisty

By Thadeus Greenson

T

thad@northcoastjournal.com

he city of Fortuna is in the process of finalizing a new contract with its police union that appears to be leaving no one happy.

At the Fortuna City Council’s Aug. 5 meeting, City Manager Merrit Perry explained that the city simply wasn’t able to meet the Fortuna Police Employees Association’s salary requests amid rising pension and insurance costs, and declining sales tax revenues. But during public comment, Charles Ellebrecht, the association’s president, made clear the association had hoped the city would have been willing to dip into its $4.9 million reserves to give department employees a sweeter deal, noting the reserves are nearly enough to fund a year of city services.

“Although we can all agree that it’s important to have extra money in the savings account for the rainy day when the car breaks down, we need to invest some money to keep our people on the street,” he said, adding that a spate of recent departures necessitated that remaining FPD officers collectively log 500 hours of overtime last month. “Our department is breaking down.”

Reached last week, Fortuna Police Chief William Dobberstein said there is reason for concern with the department. He said two officers have departed within the last month, making lateral moves to other local departments that pay better than Fortuna.

Another is slated to retire Sept. 2, he said, adding that those three departures come on the heels of an officer who left in March.

“We can’t afford to lose any more,” Dobberstein said, adding that he and his lieutenant are currently covering patrol

shifts. “I hope it’s not a trend. I think this is a very good place to work. We treat our employees well here. But it’s hard with other departments offering officers a higher salary plus a signing bonus. Folks need to take care of their families.”

The contract presented to the council Aug. 5, which had already been reluctantly approved by the association, would be in place through 2022 and give employees a 4 percent raise in 2020, followed by 3 percent in 2021 and 2 percent in 2022. But the contract also shifts some of those aforementioned rising health care costs back to employees. Prior contracts had seen the city pick up 92 percent of employees’ insurance costs but that number falls to 85 percent in the current deal, negating some of the impact of the raise on employees’ takehome pay.

While Perry explained that the net impact of the increases to salary and health care costs is different for each employee depending on their years of service and health care needs, he said the impact to the city is annual cost increases that total $301,000 over the life of the contract.

During public comment at the meeting, Sgt. Gabe Charlton said that while the association approved the contract, it did so reluctantly, recognizing that entering mediation was a battle the association was likely to lose and one that would cost “too much money for a small association to waste on deaf ears.”

“I’ve chosen to speak today because I want to express my disappointment and frustration,” he told the council, adding that Fortuna police make, on average, 10 percent

less than officers of neighboring agencies.

Police work is hard but he knew that going in, Charlton said, adding, “Feeling unappreciated by my employer, that’s a tough pill to swallow.”

When the matter returned to the council for further discussion, Mayor Sue Long appeared shaky voiced and criticized the association for its “Facebook approach” to negotiations, saying, “You are professionals and leaders and this tactic was unprofessional.”

Long appears to have been referring to a post on the association’s page earlier that day, which noted its members had approved the city’s contract offer on a narrow 9-8 vote.

“This offer includes a cost of living increase which is unfortunately offset by a significant increase (in) employee insurance cost the city is requiring,” the post states. “This increase results in a total annual compensation increase of $208.00 or 17.00 a month for some members. The COLA increase will do nothing for our retention and recruitment issues as we will still be behind other agencies in our region.”

Commenters quickly piled on.

“What a slap in the face to you guys!!!,” wrote one. “Sure doesn’t seem like you guys are appreciated or cared for.”

“Can’t wait for a council member to need some police help!!!,” wrote another. “Uhhh… yer breaking up… can’t copy… please hold!”

A Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office deputy even chimed in with a thinly veiled recruiting pitch: “I know a local agency offering hiring bonuses for laterals.”

Though clearly upset with the Facebook

post, Long tearfully voiced her support for the department and its employees, saying she wished the city could do more.

“Budgets are difficult … the bottom line is, we wholeheartedly support you guys and at the end of the day, we want you to go home to your families,” Long said. “We want you to be safe and to be able to do your jobs. If you can come up with more ideas besides bashing the council on Facebook and putting out information that’s really, really misleading, I’d love to hear it.”

Following Long’s remarks, three other council members voiced their support for the department.

In an Aug. 12 email to the Journal, Perry said the city is working on finalizing the draft contract, saying it had sent it to the association for final ratification that day and hoped to get it back later in the week.

Dobberstein, meanwhile, said the department is working as diligently as possible to replenish its ranks, noting that two of its nine office positions are currently vacant with another departure looming. He said he’d just hired an officer out of Shasta County and had additional interviews scheduled, adding, “We have the greatest staff in Humboldt County and we’re committed to serving the citizens of Fortuna.”

Shortly after the venting at the Aug. 5 council meeting — which saw one officer declare that “Fortuna’s not the Friendly City — We’ve got problems” — the association again took to Facebook. This time, it took a different tone.

“We would like the thank the council members who spoke in support of the police department,” it said. “We understand that you have a tough job and a limited budget. Let’s think outside of the box and come up with a way to keep our great officers who care so much about our community.” l Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor.

‘Illicit Markets’ and Cultural Insensitivity

By Thadeus Greenson

I

thad@northcoastjournal.com

got an email a couple of weeks ago from a source who works for a cannabis advocacy organization informing me that, “across the industry,” folks in the weed world are asking the press not to use the term “black market” any longer because it is “not culturally sensitive.”

“Illicit or illegal market is the preferred,” it went on.

I’ll admit, skepticism was my first reaction. Not at the source’s motives but the industry’s. I know my source to be a conscientious, honest person who tries to do the right thing. But I wondered if this might be more about a broad marketing ploy disguised as a social justice effort that was aimed at moving the current regulated industry further away from a clandestine history that all too often involved dewatered streams, poisoned animals and people buried on desolate hillsides.

To be honest, it kind of reminded me of the argument that began to surface in panel discussions and think pieces in the mid-2010s that the term “marijuana” is pejorative and racist. The thinking behind that argument goes that because drug enforcement agents nearly a century ago chose to use the Mexican term “marijuana” rather than the more scientific “cannabis” because it sounded sinister and exotic, the name continued to cause harm and shouldn’t be used. I — like my former colleague Grant Scott-Goforth, who wrote about the issue in these very pages (“’Marijuana’ Isn’t Racist,” June 9, 2016) — found this argument to be hollow. Not only was it being perpetuated by an industry that was to some extent built on gross racial inequalities, but by the time it surfaced the term was ingrained in popular culture to a degree that it had lost any “sinister” and “exotic” connotations it may have once carried.

The war against “marijuana” struck me as either an effort to buy social justice on the cheap — it’s a lot easier, after all, to swap “cannabis” into your vocabulary than to work to free the many thousands of people of color imprisoned under enforcement efforts that disproportionately targeted them — or simply a re-branding effort as the industry pushed for legalization in California and to establish marketable mainstream brands. (Whatever the reason, the push has largely worked, and cannabis is — indeed — the nomenclature of the day, connoting a buttoned up indus-

try that would make your uncle rend his tie-dye decrying the capitalistic system.)

Back to the illicit market. The email sent me on a Google deep dive trying to learn the etymology of the term. Turns out it’s hard to peg. Some erroneously say the term arose in South Carolina in the 1800s in reference to illegal slave auctions but there’s plenty of evidence it was used in Britain well before then. Others say its roots stretch to medieval England, where nomadic bands traveled the countryside in oxidized armor, which took on a dark, blackish color, earning them the moniker “black nights.” These black nights, the story goes, would then compete in local jousting matches in which the victor would take the loser’s armor and weapons. Because they were nomadic and didn’t need extra stuff, they would often immediately sell the loser back his lost armor in what came to be known as a “black market.”

The less interesting and more universal answer to my query is that, dating back since time immemorial, the term “black” has been associated with things unknown and dangerous (think about the terms “black spot,” “blackmail” and “black magic,” to name a few). Some peg this as being due to some intrinsic racism in humanity, while others point to humans having had a natural fear of the dark.

So is the term black market culturally insensitive? I’m not sure. But what I do know is that we live in a time when people of color in our community and across the nation rightly feel on edge, targeted and in danger. It’s also a time when the burgeoning legal cannabis industry has not always been as socially conscious as we would like and has at times been rather tone deaf to the fact that it is built — in part — on the systemic and disproportionate incarceration of people of color. I also know that words and messaging matter. If this move does anything to set some people at ease while giving a nod to others’ efforts to be more aware, it’s probably worth doing.

And if it means I’ll never again have to see a “Black Markets Matter” hoodie — the embodiment of white privilege in sweatshirt form, if there ever was one — I’m all in. ● Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor. Reach him at 442-1400, extension 321, or thad@northcoastjournal.com.

Rollback of Endangered Species’ Protections Raising Fears

A Floating Light

T

he Trump administration’s move to weaken what many see as key aspects of the Endangered Species Act is garnering outrage and pushback, with critics fearing a greater deterioration of the natural world amid the planet’s growing biodiversity crisis.

Credited with saving the bald eagle — among many iconic species, including several on the North Coast — and giving others — like the condor — a fighting chance, the ESA was enacted in 1963 by then-President Richard Nixon.

That year, fewer than 500 pairs of the United States’ national symbol were left in the wild while today some 10,000 sets of the stealth raptors with a distinctive snowy white head are found just in the lower 48 states alone.

While the ESA has seen many successes over the years, the rollbacks expected to be enacted soon come on the heels of a United Nation’s report released in May that found “the rate of species extinctions is accelerating, with grave impacts on people around the world.”

According to an Aug. 12 joint announcement from U.S. Fish and Wildlife and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the ESA regulatory changes are “designed to increase transparency

‘GROUND ZERO’

Coastal Commission blasts Caltrans for ‘wholly insufficient’ planning for sea level rise, approves safety corridor plan

By Elaine Weinreb

W

hile Caltrans’ project on the 6-mile stretch of U.S. Highway 101 that connects Eureka and Arcata is aimed at improving safety for motorists, the agency got an earful Aug. 7 from California Coastal Commissioners who felt it is ignoring a potentially far more dangerous threat: sea level rise.

“This is ground zero,” said Chair Dayna Bochco. “We don’t have a lot of time right here. The traffic is a terrible problem. The water is going to be a worse one.”

The meeting — which saw commissioners ultimately approve a coastal development permit for the long-awaited safety corridor project — featured some dire warnings of the imminent threat of sea level rise to the low-lying areas of coastal Humboldt County, including the stretch

of 101, which one commissioner said has been identified as the “most vulnerable” in the state. The discussion of sea level rise at the meeting was so foreboding, in fact, that one of the state’s highest ranking planning officials walked away saying California needs to urgently come up with a multi-agency plan — and a lot of funding — to begin charting a course forward.

Anyone who frequently drives “the safety corridor” has probably experienced a few heart-stopping incidents at the Indianola cutoff, in which frantic drivers make left turns against two or three lanes of 65-mph traffic. Although the legal speed limit on the corridor is 50 mph, few drivers observe it.

During rush hour, the number of cars waiting to turn often overflows from the short turn lane, resulting in a line of

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Aug. 15, 2019 • northcoastjournal.com

vehicles standing still in the southbound fast lane. Not surprisingly, the accident rate at this location is 200 percent higher than statewide averages.

In addition to the Indianola cutoff, the corridor hosts five other potentially life-threatening at-grade intersections, including those at the Bayside cutoff and Airport Road.

When implemented in May of 2002 on the heels of a string of deadly crashes that helped earn the stretch of roadway the nickname “Blood Alley,” the “safety corridor” was always intended to be a temporary fix. According to Caltrans, such safety zones just don’t work long-term, as over time motorists began ignoring the speed limit and the flashing signs and, gradually, start accelerating.

Caltrans has been working on a per-

manent fix for this mess for more than a decade, but efforts have quietly ramped up in recent years and got a major boost when the Humboldt County Association of Governments allocated the agency $31 million for the improvement project. But because this section of 101 sits within the Coastal Zone, the transportation agency had to get the blessing of the California Coastal Commission before it could move forward. The project was the subject of a four-hour meeting of the commission Aug. 7 in Eureka.

Coastal Commission analyst Peter Allen began by walking the overflow crowd at the Wharfinger Building through the past, present and future of the corridor.

Caltrans intends to close all six T-intersections, where two way streets meet the freeway. In their place, the agency will con-

“The traffic is a terrible problem.

The water is going to be a worse one.” struct an overpass at the Indianola cutoff, as well as a second intersection that will be partially controlled by traffic lights at Airport Road. Other than at the Airport Road signal, there will be no left turns across the median in either direction, eliminating the threat posed by cross traffic, although some right turns off and on the freeway will still be permitted.

If commissioners’ had any lingering doubts about the necessity of an overpass

at Indianola, they seemed to vanish when a member of the public showed several scary videos of near misses at the cutoff.

The intersection at Airport Road provides the sole access point to the Murray Field Airport, a residential trailer park and the commercial center along Jacobs Avenue. Because the freeway offers the only means for businesses and residents to get to and from Eureka, Caltrans cannot simply block off the intersection. Instead, it will install lights that will stop northbound traffic as southbound traffic from Airport Road enters the freeway safely.

Caltrans also intends to lengthen the acceleration and deceleration lanes from major intersections along the freeway, eliminating, for example, the pedal-tothe-metal maneuver currently needed to get on the freeway from Mid-City Motor

World. The agency also plans to repair some bridges, culverts, tide gates and railings.

This particular project does not involve the removal of any eucalyptus trees, according to Allen. However, some smaller trees and shrubs will be removed to make room for the improved acceleration and deceleration lanes, with new trees planted in other areas to make up for the removals.

Because the corridor is directly adjacent to the bay, any improvements will involve filling or impacting wetlands, which is frowned upon by state law. As a mitigation for destroying 10 acres of wetlands, the transportation agency will restore 179 acres of salt marsh habitat on Tulawat Island (also known as Indian Island) in Humboldt Bay. Spartina, an invasive grass that chokes out all native habitat, will be removed from

We’re talking about today.”

the island and monitored for years to make sure it does not return.

Work on the roadway improvements is scheduled to begin next year and be completed by 2026. Caltrans expects to keep the freeway open and fully functioning throughout construction, except for two brief night-time closures when southbound traffic will be re-routed on Samoa Boulevard.

Vigorous public discussion followed Allen’s presentation. Some people were unhappy that not all the billboards along the corridor will be removed. (Caltrans says it has removed all it legally can.) Others did not think the Spartina removal was an adequate mitigation for the loss of wetlands. Some wondered why the speed limit

couldn’t be lowered further, or a stoplight placed at the Indianola cutoff rather than the full interchange. And some were afraid that Old Arcata Road would see an additional traffic burden.

The real fly in the ointment, however, as far as the commissioners were concerned, is the inevitable rise of the ocean.

The freeway is right next to the bay, and the land that is now underneath it was salt marsh less than 150 years ago. Dikes and drainage made it possible to build a railroad and a highway, and to create new pastureland along the bay — at least for a while. But several commissioners wondered if it makes sense to pour millions of dollars into a road that may be under water in the not too distant future.

The Coastal Commission staff report noted that “the proposed development is susceptible to flood risks and extremely vulnerable to the impacts of Sea Level Rise. The flood risks to the highway corridor are from both the bay side to the west and the inland eastern side. ... breaching of the unmaintained dikes is a significant and growing problem [and] flooding issues will worsen with Sea Level Rise.

“The bridge and the interchange have an expected lifespan of approximately 80 years, or to approximately the year 2100,” the report continues. “Significant segments of the corridor will be regularly inundated by 1.5 feet of Sea Level Rise, which is currently projected to impact the area potentially as early as the 2030-to-2040 period and likely by the 2040-to-2050 time frame. Regular storm events will flood segments of the corridor with minimal Sea Level Rise. … Moreover, other project components ... are not being adapted to Sea Level Rise in this project.”

To deal with these issues, Coastal Commission staff had asked Caltrans to submit an as-yet unspecified “adaptation plan” either by 2030 or “no later than one year after flooding closes any travel portion of the Highway Corridor four times within any 12-month period.”

Several of the commissioners found this reasoning baffling. Commissioner Carole Groom wanted to know why Caltrans didn’t simply place the whole highway on a causeway. Caltrans Project Manager Jeff Pimentel replied that a causeway would be a sea level rise project, whereas this was a “safety project.” Commissioner Caryl Hart thought it strange that sea level rise planning would not even begin until after the roadway had already flooded four times.

“It’s hard to hear you say that you can’t plan because you don’t know what the sea level rise is going to be,” she told Pimentel.

“Waiting for the flooding,” mused Commissioner Donne Brownsey. “First of all, I think things are going to happen way faster. I don’t think you should wait for flooding. I think you should set that deadline for 2025. … We’re seeing this as an opportunity to be a model, not a story about another catastrophe.”

“We’ve identified this particular stretch of highway as the most vulnerable on the California coast,” said Vice Chair Steve Padilla, describing Caltrans’ plan as “wholly insufficient.”

set forth here will put us behind the ball, not ahead of the ball.“ He noted that when statewide disasters strike, as a rural community, Humboldt gets left behind.

“I am quite concerned about making the timeline so long,” agreed Commissioner Linda Escalante. “I have never driven on a freeway that is so at risk and so close to the waterline.”

“I can’t support this project,” said Commissioner Sara Aminzadeh. “We’re dealing with one public safety issue and we’re failing to address a much larger public safety issue.”

One of the public commentators was environmental planner Aldaron Laird, owner of Trinity Associates, an Arcata firm.

Laird gave a wake-up call to the Humboldt Bay area in 2010 when he studied the region’s vulnerability to rising seas. Much of the low-lying area around the bay — including parts of Eureka, Arcata and three smaller communities — was built on reclaimed salt marsh, diked off from the bay.

The land was subsequently covered with residential, business and industrial facilities, including two sewage treatment plants and a former nuclear power plant. Now as the ocean is rising, these lands — and the highway that connects them — are in peril.

Laird addressed the Coastal Commission twice in its three days of meetings in Eureka: once while commissioners were discussing the planned improvements to 101 on Aug. 7 and again in more detail the next morning. He explained the dynamic relationship of the ocean to the land and how high tides periodically get amplified by the moon and the sun into giant king tides 8.8 feet high.

In the winter, the concurrence of a large storm surge with a king tide can result in even higher water levels, overtopping dikes and causing localized flooding. This happened in 2005, resulting in the governor declaring a state of emergency.

“When king tides reach 10 feet, a tipping point is reached, where dikes are overtopped and surrounding areas flooded.”

Laird said. “We are not talking about the end of the century. We’re talking about today.”

To make things worse, rising sea water pushes shore-side groundwater upward so that even areas untouched by the ocean may be inundated from below.

No public agency is responsible for maintaining the dikes that separate the bay from the land, Laird said, and if even one dike springs a leak, it will affect all the neighboring lands, like a hole in the wall of a bathtub.

Humboldt County Planning Director John Ford pointed out that the three most vulnerable communities — Fairhaven, King

Salmon and Samoa — were also the locations of much of the county’s supply of affordable housing, bringing a social justice issue into play. He added that 1 meter of sea level rise could cause $200 million per year in damage to the county’s economy.

A study released earlier this summer by the Center for Climate Integrity projected that Humboldt County will have to build 142 miles of seawall — at a cost of $2.5 billion — by 2040 to protect coastal communities from sea level rise or risk abandoning them to be taken over by the encroaching sea.

At the meeting in Eureka, Commissioner Donne Brownsee wanted to know how the political leadership of the area had received Laird’s information.

“With shock,” replied Laird, adding that it had taken several years for the information to sink in but that county officials were now beginning to understand the immensity of the problem.

“The future of Humboldt Bay as a seaport is being threatened,” he added. “As a rural part of California, we’re going to need state and federal assistance because we can’t do this on our own.”

“If you were in a position to direct the city and the county efforts to address sea level rise, what would be your first actions, given the nearness of the impacts?” queried Brownsee.

Laird said that he would have the cities and the county and the Coastal Commission form a joint powers authority in order to move together as a region to try to find funding for adaptation.

After four hours of discussion and argument, the commission finally approved a modified version of the Caltrans project.

The “adaptation plan” is to be ready by 2025 instead of 2030. Caltrans is to report out on high water levels annually instead of biennially. And to avoid a “bathtub” problem, the agency can’t use dikes or armoring as the primary defense against sea level rise.

Coastal Commission Executive Director Jack Ainsworth summed up the discussion with a tone of urgency.

“We need to stress to the powers that be in Sacramento that this is no longer a slow-moving emergency,” Ainsworth said.

“This is ground zero. We need something like a Marshall Plan. We need to get money for planning, for design and engineering projects. And that’s going to take a huge amount of resources.” l Elaine Weinreb is a freelance journalist.

SERIOUSLY?

A Word about the ‘Threat’ of White Supremacy

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

I

n the wake of the mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, by a white supremacist gunman who left a violent, racist manifesto before he murdered 22 people, Fox News host Tucker Carlson went on air and declared the threat of white supremacists “a conspiracy theory used to divide the country and keep a hold on power.”

On Aug. 7, former grand wizard of the Klu Klux Klan and dyed-in-the-hood white supremacist David Duke tweeted his support: “Tucker is RIGHT! White Supremacy is a ZioMedia Conspiracy Theory! The term is itself a lie. Millions of White activists are NOT “supremacists” We seek NOT to oppress or destroy any race! Human Rights for all - EVEN FOR WHITE PEOPLE! Stop antiWhite racism!”

Hello! It’s your old friend David Duke here. If you’ve accidentally flipped away from Fox News, you may have heard disturbing things about “white supremacy.” I don’t want to frighten you but it all strikes at the heart of centuries of systematic oppression and attempted genocide. That’s right: anti-white racism.

As Tucker Carlson so astutely pointed out on his program, this whole thing is a hoax invented by the ZioMedia, aka — wait, what’s the PC term? — those of the Jewish persuasion who secretly control everything from an underwater volcano-pyramid hideout for their own nefarious purposes. They’re trying to smear upstanding white activists like those at Charlottesville two years ago and even our president, who has publicly condemned white supremacy and who is finally publicly giving us the pep talks we used to have to scour the dark web and crowd in weird-smelling semi-finished basements to hear. And listen, back then the speaker was some guy with off-brand Brill Cream stuck to his ears — now we can turn to Fox and have pretty ladies in tight sheath dresses explain why we need to protect Confederate statues. What a time to be alive.

At long last folks like Donald Trump and Tucker Carlson are finally referring to the immigrant invasion we’ve been writing about in the KKK’s journal The Crusader for decades — caravans of criminals who don’t want to work and yet somehow

steal our jobs. Unlike the charming Irish, who are just overstaying visas. Wait, who are these Black Irish? Let’s put a pin in that.

Not that we’re anti-immigrant. Like our president, we’re for Nordic immigration.

Is it because Nordic people would bring Aryan master-race stock to our national gene pool rather than further sullying it through miscegenation with what Hitler considered sub-human Asians, Latinos, black people and other non-herrenvolk?

Huh. I hadn’t thought about it. I’m just excited about the potential for craft aquavit and crisp bread startups.

You might ask, “But isn’t the Klan white supremacist?” Sure, in the past a few bad apples may have obeyed our doctrines and the direct orders of our leadership by systematically intimidating and murdering people. Were they all white men harassing and killing black people? Who knows with those hoods? They could very well have been Antifa under there. As for the victims, I don’t really focus on skin color and shame on you for trying to make everything about race. And while you can skip that BlacKKKlansman movie, just know it’s proof we’re nothing if not inclusive.

Our goal is celebrating and preserving white culture, just like the mongrel races do. That the heroes we’re into tend to be Confederate soldiers waving a treasonous flag in a war against the United States is all about style. If Thomas Edison had a saber and a sweet hat, maybe we’d build him a statue. But if we don’t protect our legacy, one can only assume we’ll be stranded in a world of unfamiliar seasonings, our European culture erased or taken over.

Hey, when I found out that Yo-Yo Ma fella playing all that classical music wasn’t a Muppet, I lost it. Frankly, those puppets are confusing to start with, color-wise.

Nobody is out to destroy any other race.

OK, maybe a few people. Tucker, who has a desk so you know he’s both scientific and informed, estimates our country’s card-carrying white supremacists could “fit inside a college football stadium.” That’s … not a lot, right? And most of these so-called domestic terror attacks are by lone wolves anyway.

So it’s just a stadium filled with lone wolves.

And what are the chances they have access to weapons? I mean, calm down.

The FBI and Homeland Security are

making a big fuss over nothing, naming white supremacist domestic terrorism a growing threat to national security. This conspiracy theory has led to hysteria, with people calling the El Paso shooting the deadliest attack on Latinos in recent U.S. history. Is skin color all they see? Must they politicize this tragedy? Trust me when I say white supremacy isn’t a threat, just as you’d trust your roommate shouting from atop a pinball machine that he’s not drunk. Who are you going to listen to, a bunch of suits from the federal government or a guy who headed an organization with cool job titles like Grand Wizard, Cyclops and Hydra?

As our president said in dismissing the threat of white supremacist violence, “I think it’s a small group of people that have very, very serious problems, I guess.” True!

Problems like mental illness and video games. Unlike with foreign terrorists, who are the robotic pawns of violent ideology, we need to look at the El Paso shooter’s life story to unlock his secrets. This young man killed dozens of people, leaving behind a virulently racist manifesto declaring his attack as a response to an “invasion” of Latinos. It breaks my heart that we may never know why he did it.

There are those, too, like the wingnuts at the Southern Poverty Law Center, who rave about the overlapping ideologies of white supremacy and misogyny. I personally don’t have any problem with any woman so long as she’s not a race traitor whore or feminist witch who refuses to be a vessel for an Aryan man-child. So whatever.

All this talk sows division. And it’s unnecessary since racism is already solved — first there was that black Ghostbuster, then we had a Kenyan president. Dunzo. There’s no need worry about the messages coming into your home and to your sons via YouTube and Fox News, or even a Trump rally, where the suggestion to shoot migrants gets a grin and an “only in the Panhandle” from the Commander in Chief. And you don’t have to worry about it if you notice someone espousing more and more extreme white nationalist rhetoric. It’s fine.

I realize talking about all this can be uncomfortable. After all, when we talk about race, there’s always the possibility someone could call you racist, which, unlike actual racism, is a real threat and can hurt. No, we need to stay positive and return to the happy days of the American ’50s. Or European ’30s, whichever. Really, it’s best we not talk about it at all. l Got a humorous take or tale to share?

Sun, Moon and Fig

A midsummer fig and goat cheese tart

t’s the still midsummer air that reminds me to check on the figs. With their deep green leaves shading them, figs are having the coolest, quietest summer of anyone. I remember many years ago my siblings and I didn’t care for them due to their odd looking insides (the flesh and seeds of the cut fruit looked like little worms to us then). We ended up cutting down a mature fig tree to build a storage room in my parents’ backyard.

Now I’m so obsessed with them, eating them as snacks, making savory dishes with them, and baking fig cakes and tarts.

Although my sons and husband aren’t fig eaters, they are all happy to help me pick them (it isn’t easy for a short woman like me). For the last three years, I’ve bartered with a woman in my neighborhood for figs from her tree since she doesn’t like them.

Previous years were plentiful but this year isn’t too shabby. I love sharing figs with my friends and seeing their bright smiles like the shine on the green fruit.

I promised my editor to do a recipe on figs last year. I wanted to combine our local Cypress Grove’s cheese with them, since it’s so popular. As I am not a fan of strong goat cheese, it took me a year to find a few types I prefer. The Midnight Moon gouda, with its subtle aroma, is perfect with figs in the tart below. And this

A sweet and savory tart- could be an appetizer, could be dessert. Could be breakfast as far as we’re concerned. Photo by Wendy Chan flaky tart crust is simple to make as well.

It’s absolutely delicious, according to my foodie friends’ taste testing. My husband thinks the crust is the best but he’s still working on liking figs.

Midnight Moon Fig Tart You’ll need a 10-inch tart pan. This tart works as an appetizer or a dessert — you decide.

Ingredients

For the crust: 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour ⁄₃ cup almond flour 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted but not hot 3 tablespoons homemade lard (room temperature) or vegetable shortening ½ teaspoon salt ¾ cup powdered sugar Additional butter for greasing the pan For the filling: 15 to 20 green figs, cut in quarters 1 cup fig jam or other favorite jam 2 tablespoons melted butter 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar

1 tablespoon fresh thyme 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 cup grated Midnight Moon Gouda Thyme stems for garnish Heat the oven to 350F. Grease the tart pan with butter and set it aside. Mix all the crust ingredients with a spatula until it forms a dough that sticks together. Press the dough into the tart pan and bake until golden, about 20 minutes. While the crust bakes, toss the figs with melted butter, honey, thyme and pepper until they’re evenly coated.

Once the crust is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for few minutes.

Spread the jam on the bottom of the crust. Arrange the fig mixture on top of the jam and bake the tart at 350F for 15 minutes, just enough time for the edges of the figs to caramelize. Take the tart out and sprinkle it with the shredded goat cheese. Bake it for an additional 5 minutes to let the cheese melt. Remove the tart and let it cool. Garnish with fresh thyme stems. l You can find Home Cooking with Wendy Chan classes benefitting local charities on Facebook.

Beautiful Music in a Cruel World

By Collin Yeo

music@northcoastjournal.com

L

ast week was marked by two high-profile deaths. The tragic suicide of troubled songwriter, poet and Silver Jews frontman David Berman, and the there’s-no-fucking-way-that-I-willever-believe-that-was-a-suicide demise of professional scumbag and alleged child pimp Jeffrey Epstein. And though both of these events happened in New York City, they are worlds apart: The latter has me watching with abjection as the waters of American amnesia pour over a vision of hell like they did with the revelation of the Panama Papers, while the former makes me genuinely sad. This can be a cruel world and no less so for those who document its meanness with the language of the heart and the blood of the soul. Do yourself a favor and check out Mr. Berman’s work in the Silver Jews’ discography — I recommend starting with American Water for the uninitiated — and make time for the sadder scribes in your own life. Listen to their stories and enjoy their songs because who knows what tomorrow can bring and what outcomes you can change.

Have a beautiful week.

Thursday The Outer Space is earning its name by hosting a wild and trippy space jam tonight at 7 p.m. ($7-$20 sliding scale). Oakland’s Meerna is a synth-y noise master-act with a sound that lives in the sweet intersection of Analog Street and Electric Avenue, while Mouth Painter from Portland is a weird folk trio full of vocal harmonies, flute, guitar, pedal steel and a singing saw. Between them lies the aesthetic domain of Marty, aka mister moonbeam, a one-man band and three-eyed Roy Rogers. Also on board is San(s) Kazakgascar Solo, Sacramento’s Jed Brewer on a band-less death trip into the non-canonical visions of John of Patmos via a litany of drone strings and Middle Eastern scale patterns.

Friday In my mission to report on open mics around the county, I am happy to open your minds to one in the wooded hinterlands between Moonstone Beach and Trinidad. Artist-in-residence Bryan Radzin hosts it at the Westhaven Center for the Performing Arts at 6 p.m. ($2-$5 sliding scale). Bring your snippets of song, pats of poetry and stinky riffs to the intimate stage.

Insects on the Bough play the Outer Space at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 17.

Saturday Whew, this is a busy one, so let’s not delay.

First off, come down to the Creamery a 3 p.m. for day two of the long-weekend Creamery Festival. Today’s courtyard shows will include epic sets from local gems Sue and the Namis, Blood Hunny and Oyster Baes. If there’s anything better than a musical daydream amid the shops and in the shadow of the beautiful and severe structure that I called “the Batman Building” as a kid, I don’t know it.

When the music’s over you can walk a few blocks away to the Outer Space where you will find a heavy show at 7 p.m. featuring Portland’s political post-punk band Flexing.

Also on the bill is Arcata’s noise rock act Firstwife, as well as banjo-driven folk-punk band Insects on the Bough ($5-$20 sliding scale).

Finally, tonight at the Siren’s Song you can enjoy a diverse-yet-sympatico lineup of high plains drifters Mojave Green and swamp cat gut yowlers Bow-Legged Buzzards as they pound and saw their way through respectively wild sets. The fun starts at 9 p.m., giving you plenty of time to trek across the bay (price TBA).

Sunday It’s finally here, the long-awaited Lawnstock 2019 is popping off at Perigot Park in Blue Lake. The all-day event starts at 11 a.m., and the line-up is a proper who’s-who of local talent: Ghost Train, Dynasty One, Wild Abandon and The Gatehouse Well are among the many groups on display today.

The whole shindig is a benefit for Ty-Ty Holt, a young Humboldt lad who has been stricken with a tumor on his brain stem — dreadful to consider at any age. The suggested donation is $15, but this writer would appeal to the generous people of our community to dig deep and help this brave kid out as much as you can. I’m sure his family will appreciate it.

Monday The Miniplex has a showcase of that

good, uncut, pure and hip sound for all of you noise tasters out there. The East Coast uber-cool drone duo of Marcia Bassett from Double Leopards and ZaÏmph, and violinist Samara Lubelski will pin you down with the laser focus of great droning majesty in record time. Kaori Suzuki and John Krausbauer from Oakland’s psych group Night Collectors are here on a mission of tape loops, layers and squeals. Local pedal chain enthusiast Brian Pyle will represent the discography of his musical avatar Ensemble Economique. 9 p.m. ($5).

Tuesday Along with open mics, I’ve also decided to make a mission of pushing various local trivia nights, which, although not live music per se, are certainly music-adjacent inasmuch as there will certainly be pop music references in the questions. Tonight’s 9 p.m. trivia night is free at the Savage Henry Comedy Club, where you can participate in a team of up to three to fight for the prize of “most useless information stored in your brain-meats.”

It’s Curtains For You

Smoke, Sticks, Salmon

Redwood Curtain Theatre has been bringing cutting edge, quality, contemporary plays to Humboldt County for 20 years, eliciting laughter, tears and plenty of cheers from the public after 85 productions (not including 12 years of its annual live radio show extravaganza, Zounds!). Cue standing ovation. Clear your calendar for its 20th Anniversary Cabaret Celebration this Friday, Aug. 16 from 7 to 11 p.m. at Redwood Curtain Theatre ($20).

Now in its 21st season, the theater is celebrating its double-decade anniversary with a Cabaret Celebration.

These folks know how to make a scene and they’ve got quite a show in store. Doors open at 7 p.m. with a cash bar and hors d’oeuvres — be sure to check out the impressive display of all the posters from all 85 productions on the lobby’s high walls — and the fanfare gets underway at 8 p.m.

Emceed by the fabulous Miss Tracy Mills, the pageantry includes singing, dancing, burlesque, a bit of magic and a special performance by Redwood Curtain Theatre’s founders chronicling 20 years of plays. There will also be a trivia contest and raffle, so get your tickets and give them props.

Delicious, traditionally cooked Klamath River salmon will once again grace the plates of festival goers at the Yurok Tribe’s Klamath Salmon Festival on Saturday, Aug. 17 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Yurok Tribe Headquarters (free admission, $11 salmon dinner).

Spend the day with the Yurok Tribe, celebrating the bounty of the Klamath River and learning about its cultural importance. There’s a lot to celebrate this year as the festival’s theme, Skue’n ‘Owook (Can’t Wait for Tomorrow), conveys. The dams are coming down after years of protesting and working to end the devastation to the river’s health and salmon population. The impending reintroduction of the California condor in Yurok Country is also something to be celebrated.

As every seafood lover knows, there’s nothing like fresh-caught salmon. And as local seafood lovers know, there’s nothing like fresh-caught Klamath river salmon that’s been skewered on redwood sticks and then cooked over an open fire pit. Make your way to Klamath for a full day of Native culture, demos, games and fun. And treat yourself to that salmon lunch.

Comforting Fictions The Farewell and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

Review

THE FAREWELL. Lulu Wang’s The Farewell opens on a phone call between Billi (Awkwafina) in New York and her grandmother Nai Nai (Shuzhen Zhao) in China.

It’s a charming, relatable exchange with Nai Nai warning her granddaughter about the dangers she’s heard of in the city and Billi reassuring her. It’s also a volley of white lies born of convenience and affection — Billi says she’s wearing a warm hat and Nai Nai doesn’t say she’s at the hospital.

The way lies big and small become the bonds and barriers between family members is at the heart of this quiet, moving and beautiful film. While Awkwafina’s remarkable, deeply felt performance is the center of the drama, Wang’s script and direction give each character a chance to show us the individual burdens and frustrations they carry for themselves or each other.

Writer Billi is 30 and two months behind on rent when she learns from her parents Haiyan and Jian (Tzi Ma and Diana Lin) that her grandmother in China is dying of cancer with only a few months to live. The family, dispersed in the U.S. and Japan, is keeping Nai Nai’s condition a secret to avoid upsetting her, a plan that doesn’t sit well with Billi but is common in China. They plan to reunite one last time for the rushed wedding of Billi’s cousin (Ha Chin). Billi, however, is not invited since she’s the poker-faceless weak link who’ll surely give away the ruse.

To the consternation of her immediate and extended family, she shows up anyway.

Over the course of the week, as the strongwilled matriarch plans the wedding banquet, Billi and the rest of the family struggle with the wisdom and weight of their deception.

Dinners brim with resentments about leaving China, competitive bragging and the cuts and comforts only family can deliver. Peppered throughout are grandmotherly force feedings, boozy toasts and white lies ranging from how long the happy couple has been dating to Billi hiding her money troubles to Nai Nai’s sons concealing their grief.

The weird, puckish Awkwafina we know from Ocean’s 8 peeks out now and again, but it’s the roiling emotions we sense from the slightest furrow and frown that are the focus of so many shots. Like Lin’s Jian, who states her dislike of wailing hired mourn-

ers, neither Wang nor her excellent cast is here for histrionics, preferring the understated. Ma (Arrival, 2016), a paradoxically ubiquitous yet underused character actor, is utterly real in his quiet heartbreak, while Zhao’s sweet, iron-willed matriarch is so seamless I fear her skill will be overlooked.

There is much that’s universal in the family dynamics but also distinctly Chinese, especially in terms of the cultural chasm between Chinese and American characters, even first generation immigrants. But it’s authentic, too, to this one particular family, the uniqueness that makes them relatable. So many of their lies are a form of generosity but still can isolate — those false assurance that everything’s fine can leave everyone a little more alone. PG. 98M. BROADWAY. SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK. Last year, the timing of Journal film columnist John Bennett’s vacation left me cringing in the theater for Hereditary, an excellent but traumatizing movie from which heinous Bosch-ian images still flash unbidden. This year, hell if I wasn’t relieved to be left reviewing Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark instead of Midsommar. Listen, I’m glad horror filmmakers like Ari Aster are out there taking chances and pushing the genre into new psychological and visual territories. But I’m exhausted over here.

And while André Øvredal’s (The Autopsy of Jane Doe, 2016) adaptation of the kids’ horror story collections has its gruesome moments, it’s not disturbing or emotionally scarring. Scary Stories is light, slumber-party stuff — an entertaining, retro tribute to the jump scares, vintage monsters and creepy campfire tales of yesterday.

On Halloween, days before Nixon’s 1968 election (a don’t-go-into-the-basement moment that feels far too real now), a trio of high school outcasts sets out to prank a bully. There’s precocious nerd Augie (Gabriel Rush), crude junk-food junkie Chuck (Austin Zajur) and aspiring writer Stella (Zoe Margaret Colletti), all of whom seek refuge in Ramón’s (Michael Garza) car when said prank goes awry. To keep the fun going, the four set out to the local haunted house, followed by that same shark-eyed bully (Austin Abrams). There the long-ago imprisoned Sarah Bellows is said to have killed children by telling them cursed stories. Stella, fascinated

by the legend, makes off with Sarah’s book and is rightfully alarmed when new stories appear featuring the names of people who were in the house that night, each of whom suffers the fate outlined in the goofy tales.

When the screen isn’t frustratingly dark, there are some fine textural touches, particularly when the shots go micro and the sound of a turning page, a creaking doorknob or a skittering spider fills the theater. The monsters are less successful, with two washed out creatures coming off dull and half done — a disappointment partly due to creature master del Toro’s much hyped attachment to the project. Still, there are goosebumps, soothingly predictable demises and narrow escapes, and at least one scene that should make even fans of that horrendous Dr. Pimple Popper show wince. For those who’ve graduated from R.L. Stein, it’s a solid transition before jumping headlong into The Shining. And while it’s somewhat geared toward a younger audience, it’s solid popcorn nostalgia for adults. The hellscape outside is terror enough for some of us right now. PG13.

Graphene: The Future of Desalination?

By Barry Evans

fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com

COMPLIANCE WITH CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 2923.3 WAS NOT REQUIRED BECAUSE THE LOAN IS SECURED BY VACANT LAND.

Seawater on the left, consisting of water molecules (red and white) and sodium and chlorine (salt) ions (green and purple), is forced through a single-atom-thick sheet of graphene having pores between 0.7 and 0.9 nanometers in diameter. The water molecules pass through to the right, while the larger salt ions are blocked.

ater, water everywhere/ Nor any drop to drink.”

Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s ancient mariner was plagued by the same predicament as many people today who live near the ocean: They’re short of fresh water and unable to drink from our planet’s salty oceans. The problem is seawater is about 3.5 percent salt by weight but our kidneys can’t make urine from liquid containing more than 2 percent salt. So paradoxically, if you ingest seawater, you’ll be thirstier because your kidneys use any available water in your body to dilute that extra salt. Drink too much seawater and you’ll die from dehydration.

With climate change creating drought conditions in many vulnerable places around the globe, researchers are pursuing new techniques to figure out how to desalinate salt water cheaply and efficiently, since there’s so much of it. Of the many methods in use, the most popular is reverse osmosis (RO), in which salt water is forced through a polymer membrane that filters out the salt ions. Currently, RO is inefficient and costly, mainly due to the high pressure required (between 500 and 1,000 psi — the air in your car’s tires is around 40 psi). Another problem is waste: For every 100 gallons injected into the system, between 5 and 40 gallons (depending on the size of the unit) comes out as fresh water, the rest being squandered as saline wastewater.

The good news is that RO systems are about to undergo a revolution, replacing polymer membranes with ultra-thin graphene sheets. Graphene is pure carbon, like the “lead” in lead pencils and diamonds, except it’s essentially a one-atom-thick, two-dimensional sheet. The carbon atoms are arranged in the form of interlocking hexagons (think chicken wire).

Due to its strong carbon bonds, graphene is inherently flexible, light and strong.

Although it’s been known as a material for more than a century, researchers have

only recently figured out to produce it in large sheets. Twenty years ago, graphene was being touted as a miracle material.

Bulletproof clothing, ultralight planes, space elevators (“Elevator to Space,” April 16, 2015) were all just around the corner (and still are). On the other hand, graphene’s promise as an efficient RO membrane is rapidly coming to fruition, with several companies and universities (notably Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the UK’s Manchester University) already prototyping desalination filters.

Because graphene is about 1,000 times thinner than conventional polymer membranes, it’s much more permeable. If a municipal RO plant were to replace its current polymer membranes with graphene, still employing high-pressure pumps, the freshwater output flow would greatly increase. Alternatively, graphene offers a way of avoiding the costly pumps now in use, since graphene desalination works at lower pressures.

The problem that researchers are currently working on is efficient creation of precisely sized pores in sheets of graphene — finding the sweet spot that’s not too large (or else salt ions can pass through) and not too small (so water molecules can freely pass — see diagram). One promising avenue is to pair the carbon with oxygen atoms, creating graphene oxide. It’d still be a one-atom-thick sheet but more workable than pure graphene and with excellent anti-fouling properties.

Desalination is fast becoming a public health priority. However, the recent advances in our ability to create and manipulate large sheets of graphene mean we’re going to see a revolution within the next few years as these one-atom-thick carbon membranes come to the rescue. l Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo. com) can’t wait to see graphene desalination working on industrial scales, taking advantage of 97 percent of Earth’s water found in oceans.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear owner− ship of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be respon− sible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this prop− erty by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this informa− tion. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, benefi− ciary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available

that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, benefi− ciary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a cour− tesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916−939− 0772 or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case PFI−191241. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Hops Quick Tips • Taps: Open from 1 to 5 p.m.

• Pours: They are small for a reason. If you sample every beer, that would equate to over 34 pints.

• Pace yourself.

• Lines: They look long because people get their sample, then hang out, drink and bullshit.

Nicely ask them if they’re in line.

Most people will realize they’re in the way and move.

The History

T

he story started 16 years ago when a small group of directors were trying to decide on a new event for Fortuna with a $1,000 grant provided by the Fortuna Business Improvement District.

It took two years of planning, organizing and research. Fortuna Rotary and ESA offered to sponsor the event and Hops in Humboldt was born. The very first Hops event was held in 2004, in a small beer garden between the two playgrounds at Rohner Park. There were 10 breweries at best; all of our local breweries plus a few more from Northern California.

It had a bluegrass theme with local bands and some random vendors. As the event progressed throughout the years more breweries were added.

Mixed genres of music became the norm, the Hops beer games and the Hops awards were born. Local homemade food and vendors started to make the event more unique.

Partnerships with transportation companies were formed to provide safe transportation alternatives for attendees. The end of year five saw elbow-to-elbow room only in the festival and it was evident the festival had outgrown its location. In year six Hops decided to make the move off the green grass of Rohner Park to a larger home and current location on Bartow Field. That year Hops also started the process of shedding its sponsors and led

the paperwork to become its own nonprofit organization.

With a board of directors and a dedicated beer-loving committee that works year-round, Hops in Humboldt is bigger and better than ever! Hops has proudly taken in hundreds of thousands of dollars in event income. The majority of our budget is put back into the community and spent with local businesses to make the event happen.

100 percent of the proceeds are given back to local groups each year who fall under our grant categories. To date over $475,000 in grants have been awarded to schools, youth groups, sports, senior services, drug and alcohol prevention and community projects.

Thank you for your support and sacrificing your sobriety in the name of community service!

We hope you have a great time and enjoy the 16th annual Hops in Humboldt.
