Editor: I am appalled that during a special meeting Aug. 9, the Humboldt County Fair Association Board of Directors opted to hold a county fair in the face of a major health emergency (“Hops in Humboldt Cancels Amid Rising COVID Cases; Fair Still Moving Forward,” posted Aug. 10). The Delta variant pandemic is worse than the original version of COVID-19. Cases in Humboldt County are exploding and much higher than last year at this time. To encourage people to gather as if all is “normal” is beyond belief. It is selfish and reckless that this organization is endangering unvaccinated children just before school goes back into session. It is terrifying to think what will happen in hospitals as this presumed super spreader event draws to a close. Outdoor events, held in July when caseloads were lower, still became super spreader events. Now that the Delta variant is raging like a forest fire through the county, it is easy to see what will happen. The Aug. 10 T-S headline indicates a 400-percent increase in cases. This will be multiplied with each day that the fair is in operation. Our clinics and hospitals have limited capacity and staff will become overwhelmed. I call on the HCFA Board of Directors to proceed with aspects of the fair, including horse racing and Jr. Livestock Auction, without the public in attendance but cancel any activities that would draw the public to the fairground. The risk to our schools, our children, the unvaccinated and even those who are vaccinated is huge. I encourage public health officials and the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors to evaluate the risks and do what they can to avoid a catastrophe. Stephen Avis, Ferndale

A Costly Choice

Editor: Thank you for the excellent cover story detailing the illness and hospitalization of a “Covid refusenik” (“I Wish I Had Been Vaccinated,” Aug. 12). The cover photo alone is a strong statement about the personal price Mr. Weltsch had to pay. There is one question I wish had been asked of Mr. Weltsch: how could someone as “thoughtful and kind” as he is described, willingly jeopardize the health and safety of his loved ones, as well as the general public and his potential customers, and most of all, our healthcare heroes? How difficult it must be to have to face a caregiver who knows full well you have chosen to add to the heavy burden they have carried for so long. I hope Mr. Weltsch will include a big mention of this aspect to his story, because he, of all people, now knows he is not the only one who suffered from his

refusal to support his community. Sheila Evans, Eureka Editor: I read the Aug. 12 cover story, “I Wish I Had Been Vaccinated.” I’m very glad Jonathan Weltsch is recovering, that his wife and children are healthy, and that he is urging his friends to get the vaccine. But it’s nowhere near enough. He spent four days in the ICU at St. Joseph, using the hospital’s limited resources. Why isn’t he offering them some money? If he can afford nine children, he can afford to contribute to the public good. He owes a huge amends to his mother — who, because of his wrong-headed decision, was forced to stay away from his family for a year and a half — as well as to his children, employees, clients, neighbors and everyone else. From my point of view, he is indebted to society for the rest of his life. Louisa Rogers, Eureka Editor: I am writing to thank Thadeus Greenson for his two important articles in the Aug. 12 NCJ, “I Wish I Had Been Vaccinated” and “‘Dramatically Changed.’” I’m grateful for his excellent reporting and I hope he appreciates the compliment. I have previously submitted letters to the editor which he has declined to print because he said they were not relevant to local news. Perhaps he will consider printing this one. April Jones, Arcata Editor: I recently encountered a sentence that is too good not to share. It’s not my sentence. I wish it were. It is a magnificent setence both in its construction, style and content. I found it in an editorial in The Week magazine. The title of the editorial is “Are the vaccinated entitled to be angry?” The author is not identified. Here it is: “Even with the super-infectious Delta variant, life could be returning to normal if the petulant, selfish children of ‘pro-Trump America’ hadn’t decided to embrace vaccine refusal as their latest pathetic symbol of tribal membership.” Wow! It touches all the bases. Bill Morris, Eureka Editor: An Aug. 6 New York Times article showed that the following methods are proven successful for increasing the number of people vaccinated for COVID: 1. Saturday “block party” with food trucks offering a free empanada/ egg roll/ etc., DJs playing music, kid-friendly activities (ring toss, hula hoop, chalk drawing on sidewalks, “touch a real fire truck or ambulance,” etc.) These have frequently resulted in more vaccinations than mobile clinics.

2. As to mobile clinics, use very visible and accessible mobile clinics set up at locations with large numbers of workers who have trouble getting time off (malls, factories or near mega stores like Costco/Walmart/Target etc.). 3. Use very visible and accessible mobile clinics at or near frequently used shopping centers, zoos, sports stadiums, city parks, entrances to community forests or fields, large well-filled parking lots for hospitals, willing employers’ or schools’ parking lots (especially at back-to-school events or sports events like Crabs games), college or university parking lots or facilities, churches on Sundays, or senior or disabled care homes. 4. Offer of free rides to vaccination sites. 5. Use door-to-door to reach those who are home bound. The article’s author says, “Sometimes you have to make it too convenient so that people can’t say no.” Doing things like these don’t replace using science and logic, but using fear, shame, and shock have now been shown to not get us where we need to go, as fast as we need to go.

CRV Buyback Returning to Humboldt By Iridian Casarez

iridian@northcoastjournal.com

et ready to finally have a chance to redeem your California Refund Value deposits, Humboldt. Hambro Recycling of Crescent City is opening a CRV buyback center in Arcata in the next few months. “We’ve been looking at [opening a CRV buyback center] for a while. You know, there wasn’t really any movement in Humboldt. We’ve been having a lot of Humboldt people up here visiting us at our recycling center. We wanted to make it easier for them to recycle,” says Randy Scott, vice president and general manager of Hambro Recycling. “It isn’t a decision we made lightly. We just started crunching the numbers and put it together and thought we could do it. You know, giving all the folks in Humboldt the opportunity to stay home and recycle.” Humboldt County has been without a CRV buyback recycling center for almost a year after its last CRV recycling center at the Humboldt Waste Management’s Eureka Recycling Center became so overwhelmed with hundreds of people who wanted their deposits back it created a hazard off Broadway. The center ultimately closed its CRV redemption services

because it was operating at a loss due to the high costs of transporting material to market, handling material and the low value of commodities. (The Eureka Recycling Center is still open and accepting recyclable materials, like mixed plastics, corrugated cardboard, mixed glass, clean scrap metal, appliances and e-waste.) Without a designated CRV buyback center, by law it was up to grocery stores and retailers to refund the 5 to 10 cent deposits back to customers, however, most Humboldt County retailers didn’t, choosing instead to pay fines, due to issues with transportation costs, handing the materials and storage, while other grocery stores limited the number of cans and bottles and days they accepted materials. Since then, some Humboldt County residents with loads of recyclables have traveled two hours away to Hambro’s Recycling in Crescent City to get their deposits back. Scott says employees have even gotten to know the Humboldt regulars who bring their CRV recyclables to their facility. Scott says that they were able to “crunch the numbers” and found that they could afford to open a new CRV buyback center due in part to the fact that Hambro

Recycling owns its own fleet of trucks to transport materials to Anderson, California. The highest cost of running a CRV buyback center in rural areas is transportation — buying or hiring a truck that can transport materials to market hundreds of miles away. “We have our own trucks, so we control the transportation,” Scott says. “The processor in Anderson will take mix loads, so once we have a full load of plastics, aluminum and glass, we can ship it. So there’s no wait to build a load of each different material. That has also helped us at the Crescent City facility and it will at the Arcata one.” The opening of the Arcata certified CRV buyback center on South G Street near Redwood Curtain Brewing Co. will create a relief for grocers and retailers in a convenience zone (a 3-mile radius in which the epicenter is a grocery store). If there is a CRV buyback center within the convenience zone, grocers and retailers in that specific area are exempt from offering in-store CRV buyback services as the zone is considered “served.” Scott hopes to open the Arcata center within 90 days. The company is just wait-

ing to receive the required permits from the city and the California Coastal Commission, hire the right crew and, of course, obtain their certification from CalRecycle. “I’m feeling great and excited and looking forward to helping the people from Humboldt,” Scott says. “We’ve developed a method of inspecting and weighing and processing, and the staff I have up here is excellent and we run a very efficient center. And we expect to do that the same way in Humboldt. We know there will be a tsunami, so to speak, and we’ll be prepared for that.” Scott has heard the stories of when the Eureka Recycling Center was overwhelmed and says he plans on fully staffing the center with an all-hands-on-deck approach and estimates the property can hold 30 cars off the road, which will help keep the line moving. “We know it’s going to be a big rush, a high demand. We’re confident that we could handle it,” he says. ● Iridian Casarez (she/her) is a Journal staff writer. Reach her at 442-1400, extension 317, or iridian@ northcoastjournal.com.

GUEST VIEWS

‘Please Get Vaccinated’ An open letter to the community from 111 local doctors views@northcoastjournal.com

ear Community, We are your physicians. You have honored us by entrusting your lives to us, as well as the lives of your loved ones. We are also your neighbors, your friends and your relatives. We share with you a deep love of this region and of our communities. Like you, we dream of a safe, COVID-free future. Please get vaccinated. We ask this from the bottom of our hearts. As your physicians, and as the people with whom you have worked, played, laughed and cried, we must admit we are tired. We will keep working, of course. But we are tired. We are tired of the suffering, pain and death that can be avoided by getting vaccinated. We have studied the data, and we have seen the benefits of vaccination with our own eyes. The vaccines are well-tested, very safe and highly effective. Yes, masking must continue, especially with the highly contagious Delta variant. But nothing is as important as being vaccinated. You’ve trusted us with every other aspect of your health. Please trust us with this. We are not asking you to do anything that we have not already done. Please, for the sake of our community: the young, the old, and all the in-betweens, get vaccinated. Signed: G. Beth Abels, M.D., Internal Medicine Igor Z.

HSU Foresees Doubling of Enrollment as Cal Poly Humboldt

s Humboldt State University geared up to welcome the first wave of students back Aug. 14, the campus released its “near-final draft” of a self-study conducted as part of the process for becoming California’s third polytechnic campus, a final version of which is slated to go before the California State University Board of Trustees for consideration in January. With the designation, HSU forecasts a rapid increase in enrollment over the next few years, growing from this fall’s student class of about 5,500 to nearly 11,000 students by 2028. And it would bring a name change, with the current recommendation being California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt — or Cal Poly Humboldt, for short. The 135-page document submitted to the Chancellor’s Office earlier this month states that HSU already has a strong foundation for becoming a polytechnic and currently serves the third highest number of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) students in the CSU system, only behind the two current polytechnic campuses: Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and Cal Poly Pomona. The study also notes those two programs are impacted and bringing HSU on

board as a third option — and the only one located in the northern reaches of the California — would not only benefit the local community but fill a statewide need. “We are a sound investment as a university already excelling in inclusive STEM education and research with a focus on economic, cultural, and environmental sustainability and a just global society,” the conclusion states. “As a polytechnic, HSU is a triple threat: adding unique degree programs aligned with the state of California’s goals regarding areas like climate resilience and wildfire mitigation, creating access to impacted degree programs in the CSU system that correlate with huge workforce games, and stimulating the Northern California economy and specifically the North Coast as HSU is the largest regional employer and an economic driver for the region.” Earlier this year, the university announced plans to expand its curriculum to include more STEM-related degree programs as soon as fall of 2023 — including applied fire science and management, cannabis studies, data science, geospatial information science and technology and software engineering — as part of the campus’ polytechnic push, using $25 million in state funds.

Fires Continue to Rage: As the Journal went to press Aug. 17, four fires continued to spread to the east, combining to char more than 260,000 acres. The two largest — the Monument Fire and the McFarland Fire — had closed state routes 299 and 36, while the McCash Fire threatened Karuk cultural sites. Gusty winds were forecast, prompting a Red Flag Warning. POSTED 08.17.21

bout the last thing on Tony Wallin’s mind when he arrived at Humboldt State University in 2018 was becoming one of the mainsprings behind a new club — let alone a new campus program — for students whose lives had been irreparably changed by their experiences with the criminal justice system, students like him. He hadn’t come intending to get involved. In many ways, he was looking for an escape — a fresh start far removed from his hometown of Sacramento, where he still bumped into people who knew him back when he was using and selling drugs. What he wanted was to be in a place surrounded by nature, where no one knew his name and he wouldn’t run into his past on a street corner. While Wallin says he was immediately taken with the region’s rugged coastline and redwood forests, that sense of place didn’t translate into the halls of campus. Hanging over him was what he describes in a 2019 Osprey article as a heavy fog — the vestiges of his time behind bars. “I didn’t see any other students with tattoos on their face and neck. I’d been incarcerated, “ Wallin says. And, even with an associate degree already in hand, he began asking himself: “Do I really belong here?” So the journalism major began seeking out some sort of assistance for those struggling with what comes after incarceration. While he came up empty-handed, Wallin did find open doors at the offices of Associate Director of Admissions Steven Ladwig and Sociology Department Chair Renee Byrd, both of whom encouraged him to take the lead in filling the void. Resisting the idea at first, Wallin instead decided to write about the lack of resources for HSU’s student newspaper The Lumberjack. Then, he says, it became clear to him: “I can write the story and start a club.” A serendipitous meeting with fellow student Franklin Porter, who — like Wallin — was vested in reforming the criminal justice system, helped the Formerly Incarcerated Students Club gain a footing on campus. And, together with a small cadre of members, they set the foundation for HSU’s Project Rebound. Those efforts, Wallin says, happened to coincide with HSU President Tom Jackson’s arrival, creating what he describes as “a perfect storm” for starting the local program, which officially launched in October of 2020. Wallin says he and Porter “bombarded” Jackson with constant visits to talk about bringing Project Rebound to Humboldt. “We needed campus buy-in, we needed stakeholders and it totally worked,” Wallin says. “From the beginning, he was supportive and wanted to see the program get

adopted.” Thirteen students are now enrolled — ranging in age from 25 to 61 — including two who once faced life in prison. “Reflecting on the first year of Project Rebound, I am proud of Frank and Tony because of their determination to launch a program that mirrors our values as a university,” says Peter Martinez, director of Admissions and Project Rebound’s executive director. “Because of their advocacy, numerous departments across campus stepped up and continue to collaborate, working tirelessly to support Project Rebound. We will continue to expand the program in the coming year and provide more resources to students who want to increase their opportunities for success through education.” While new at HSU, the Project Rebound program dates back 1967, when late San Francisco State University professor John Irwin — who himself served time for armed robbery before becoming an expert on the U.S. prison system — set out to push back on the revolving door that too often sees people reoffend after being released with little support and few opportunities. Then, as it still does, the criminal justice system disproportionally affected the nation’s most marginalized communities, often ensnaring those who grew up amid intergenerational traumas of poverty, addiction, unemployment and incarcerated loved ones, leading to the suspensions and expulsions that create what’s known as the school-toprison pipeline. And those disparities have grown even more acute over the last four decades with an exponential increase in the nation’s prison population, fueled in many ways by the war on drugs and harsh mandatory-minimum sentencing laws, which not only incarcerated more people but kept them in prison longer — in some cases, for life. According to the Federal Bureau of Justice Statistics, Black men are six times more likely to be incarcerated than white men and Latinx men are 2.5 times as likely. Along similar lines, Black women are more than 1.7 times more likely to be incarcerated than white women and Latinx women are 1.3 times more likely. The bureau does not provide the same breakdown for Native American men and women, as the nonprofit Prison Policy Initiative notes in estimating that their incarceration rates are double that of their white counterparts. By extension, children of color are more likely to have a parent in prison. At the end of 2019, the federal Bureau of Justice reports, 539 of every 100,000 adult U.S. residents were serving sentences in a state or federal prison, with 1,446 of every 100,000 Black adults incarcerated, compared to 263 per 100,000 white adults. Acting as an antithesis, Project Rebound’s

premise is simple: Change lives through education rather than punishment to break the cycle of mass incarceration by providing pathways for those who have been incarcerated to obtain college degrees using a compassion-based approach that not only benefits the graduating students and their families but society as a whole. And it’s proven successful. Over more than 50 years, hundreds of students have earned degrees through Project Rebound, outpacing their fellow California State University classmates in not only grade point average but graduation rates. Since 2016, 87 percent of Project Rebound students have secured full-time jobs or gone on to graduate programs after earning their degree. A diverse group, the majority are the first in their families to attend college and around one-third are parents with young children. Many grew up in low-income neighborhoods with under-funded schools and a lack of early intervention programs. And while the state’s recidivism rate hovers around 50 percent — meaning about half of those released from prison end up re-offending — none of the program’s participants have returned to jail or prison due to a new conviction in the last five years, according to Project Rebound’s 2021 annual report. “Project Rebound constructs a life-affirming alternative to the school-to-prison pipeline and the revolving door of mass incarceration, thus increasing social mobility for generations to come and fostering a safer, healthier, and more prosperous future for California,” the report states. All that success comes with a $4 million annual budget — a combination of state allocations, grants and campus-based matching funds — for a program currently serving around 450 students, having undergone a major expansion in recent years, growing from the original San Francisco site to 14 campuses up and down the state, including HSU. That equates to an annual cost of just under $9,000 per student. By comparison, the average cost of incarcerating someone in a California prison is around a $100,000 a year. “Everybody makes mistakes, everyone grows and everyone deserves a second chance, or third or fourth. Being a human is hard, it’s harder than anything else,” Wallin says. “We, as a society, are so quick to label someone a felon or drug addict or convict, as if that is all we will always be. Humans are fluid and always changing. This isn’t to say we aren’t held accountable, but it shouldn’t be from a punishment model that doesn’t work. It should come from a loving, kind and caring place.” By the time he arrived at HSU, Wallin had Continued on next page »

already trudged a tough road in life. As a child, he says he struggled to find his fit. His mother is from Japan and his father, who is from the states, had his own struggles with addiction and incarceration. When he was 13, Wallin came upon two things that straddled those worlds: heroin and Buddhism. One would send him to prison; the other helps sustain him to this day. Wallin says he was still in the “mind state of walking the yard” when he walked out for the last time and was put on a bus to downtown Sacramento in what were now the ill-fitting clothes he wore when he arrived at prison, having gained 40 pounds during his confinement. From there, Wallin had to make his own way to his mother’s apartment. “I was so terrified of being in public, like everyone was staring at me. I literally couldn’t button the pants I was wearing; I couldn’t button the shirt I had on and I had a box that was labeled with my reference number,” Wallin says. “It was like a fever dream.” Determined to seize what he knew was a second chance, Wallin says he found himself overwhelmed, scared and battered by nightmares from what he’d seen and experienced in his time behind bars. After suffering a near fatal relapse within a week, Wallin awoke to find his mother weeping at his hospital bedside. In that moment, he says, he understood in a way he never had before that his choices weren’t just impacting him, they were impacting others. “It was like I needed prescription glasses my entire life and someone put them on me and now I could see,” Wallin says. He checked himself into rehab and later moved into a half-way house where Wallin met people who were sober and going back to school. So, he says, “I followed suit.” From there, he made his way to the North Coast. Now, as HSU’s Project Rebound’s program coordinator, Wallin is able offer what he needed but was missing when he arrived on HSU’s campus, helping those still adjusting to the world outside of a prison cell tear down barriers to their success and — perhaps most importantly — providing a support system for those who may never have had one. “I was doing this because I wanted a safe, welcoming place for people with my shared experience,” says Wallin, who recently graduated from HSU and is now pursuing a master’s degree. “Sadly, it isn’t as unique as we think it is.” That backing has made all the difference for HSU Project Rebound students Mark Taylor and Eric Clark, whose lives — like Wallin’s — diverged down paths that brought them to prison for reasons ulti-

mately rooted in the basic human need to find a place where they belonged. Both use the same turn of phrase when describing the program’s impact, “It’s meant the world.” From the outside looking in, there was a time when Clark might have seemed to have everything going for him. At 18, he was attending to the University of California at Los Angeles but felt lost — literally and figuratively — in what he describes “as a city within a city” with “no direction and no purpose.” A former high school basketball star who lived for the game, Clark says he suddenly found himself a little fish in a big pond without the support of his former coaches, who’d helped keep him on the straight and narrow. His sole purpose in going to UCLA was to make the basketball team so when the walk-on spot he’d secured was pulled at the last moment, Clark was crushed. He dropped out soon afterward. Adrift and self-centered, saddled with student debt, Clark made a decision that would forever alter the course of his life, joining his brother in a smash-and-grab robbery. “I was looking for acceptance,” Clark says. “I don’t like to use upbringing or race … but I didn’t know where I fit in. I didn’t feel accepted on campus at UCLA.” The robbery went terribly wrong and a woman was killed. Clark wasn’t in the store when it happened — he was in the parking lot, waiting in a truck to load up the stolen merchandise. He didn’t even know what had unfolded, having fled when he heard sirens. But Clark was sentenced to life in prison under the felony murder rule, a legal doctrine that allows anyone involved in a crime that results in another’s death to be charged with murder. For the first 15 years or so, Clark walked the prison walk, explaining that while he’s not a violent person by nature, prison is a very violent place. Then, Clark says, he hit a point where he was ready to change. “I decided that being that guy in prison constantly getting in trouble was not the guy I wanted to be,” Clark says. After being certified through a Department of Corrections program, he spent the next several years as an alcohol and drug counselor while serving his sentence, working with fellow inmates at different prisons, which also provided him with “an opportunity to change my focus and my direction.” When a spot came up at Pelican Bay State Prison, Clark volunteered to go and enrolled in the College of the Redwood’s outreach program, which led to a meeting with Wallin, who’d come to talk about HSU’s Project Rebound. “He and I chatted about the possibility of me going to school there and it became

For him personally, that means an enhanced ability to help others with their treatment. “I think it also gives each one of us the opportunity to be an example to other individuals who are going through incarceration to advance their goals and dreams in a way that wasn’t there previously,” Clark says. Taylor agrees. A senior majoring in social work, he’s currently a life coach at Pelican Bay, where his past helps him connect with the men. While many describe the Crescent City institution as a place housing the worst of the worst, Taylor sees a place where “they send the most traumatized.” “Incarcerated people are some of the strongest people you will ever meet in your life,” he says, adding that many bear the scars of never addressed adverse childhood experiences that occurred long before they ever found their way into a prison cell. Taylor says he began hanging out with gang members just before he turned 15, a time when he was dealing with a lot of trauma, including his father abandoning his family when he was 5 years old and the aftereffects of living with an abusive stepfather. After an unsuccessful stint in the Marines in an attempt to straighten his life out, he began a downward spiral. At 23, then fully

entrenched in the gang lifestyle and mentality, he fatally shot a man he’d considered a friend but who Taylor felt hadn’t done enough to help a fellow gang member who’d been killed. He was sentenced to 26 years to life in prison. Like Clark, Taylor’s path to redemption did not occur overnight, but he began talking college classes and, 12 years after arriving in prison, received the first of six associate degrees. When Taylor called his mother after the graduation ceremony, he heard in her voice something he hadn’t in a long time — pride. In a 2020 interview with Pelican Bay Unlocked, a podcast produced by men in the prison, he describes it as a “pivotal moment.” “Then I kinda realized, this is what makes life worth living, these triumphs that I was experiencing on that day and also the struggles you go through to get to these triumphs, and then I realized that’s what I took from my victim’s family,” Taylor says. That day, he shed his gang affiliations and, though not always easy, immersed himself in self-help classes and furthering his education, surrounding himself with others who were doing the same. “I believe the fastest way to end mass incarceration in our country is to begin mass education in our communities, as well as in our prisons,” Taylor says. On track to graduate in the spring of 2022, Taylor says he wants to use a trauma-informed approach in working with both at-risk youth to help them develop the coping skills necessary to avoid a pathway to prison and currently and formerly incarcerated individuals to help them, too, change the course of their lives. “I am really just trying to contribute to society in order to atone for my past,” he says. There was a time when neither of the

now 50 year olds — who each served more than two decades in prison — thought they would see the outside world beyond the confines of a prison yard. But recent changes in state law brought opportunities for their parole. In Clark’s case, the broad application of the felony murder rule was scaled back, allowing individuals like himself, who weren’t even present at the time of the killings, to have their convictions vacated. He was left with attempted robbery on his record, which carries a sentence of less than seven years. Taylor’s chance came in the form of legislation that opened up parole hearing eligibility for those serving indeterminate sentences for crimes committed before they turned 26. It was, he says, a “rigorous process,” with multiple hearings, psychological evaluations and a complete dissection of his past, as well as his efforts to redeem himself. He was released in September of 2018. Clark would follow two years later. But walking outside a prison’s gate is just the first step in a long readjustment process that can be fraught with challenges. Not only is there the overwhelming shift to suddenly being in charge of their own lives after years of having every aspect of their days controlled — all while dealing with trauma from what they experienced on the inside — but also the pressure of adhering to strict probation and parole restrictions with the threat of returning to prison hanging over their head. Then there’s just the basics — finding a landlord who will rent to someone who’s been incarcerated and an employer willing to give them a chance. “We are set up for failure instead of success when we are released,” Wallin says. “Shouldn’t it be the other way around, so we can contribute meaningfully to our communities?” Shaun Brenneman, chief probation officer of the Humboldt County Probation Department, says “it is not surprising that people struggle to succeed when released from prison or jail” with so many, in general, having a difficult time finding affordable housing, access to mental health care and a living wage job. “Periods of incarceration are incredibly disruptive to a person’s life. This is often necessary for community safety; however, it clearly breaks existing ties to housing, employment and social supports,” he says in an email to the Journal. “Further, the incarcerated community has its own social norms and values, which dictate a set of values and behaviors. When a person is released, they have to reestablish all those baseline needs, often with very little at their disposal, and those social norms established in prison are often contradictory to what is appropriate

in society.” However, Brenneman says a program like Project Rebound “can address this struggle because it provides a community of support, a pathway to a living wage in the form of a degree and, perhaps most importantly, hope and purpose.” With an application-to-alumni continuum of support, Project Rebound backs prospective students and those accepted into any of the participating CSU campuses through every step — from applying for admission and filling out financial aid paperwork to securing housing and providing academic support — all while offering a place to find a sympathetic ear from someone who’s walked in their shoes. And no one is just turned away for not meeting admissions standards. With the motto: “We don’t say ‘no’, we say ‘not yet,’” Project Rebound is there to walk them through the process, providing mentoring and advise on how to become eligible. “So many of us thought school wasn’t an option, that it wasn’t built for people like us, that we didn’t have a seat in the classroom,” Wallin says, noting Project Rebound is about changing that narrative to “we all do.” While each Project Rebound campus has the same goals and mission, the HSU program takes advantage of the region’s postcard-ready location, with barbecues, hikes in the redwoods and kayaking trips — a process Wallin describes as “Humboldtification,” giving Project Rebound students a safe space to socialize outside of the classroom. “Project Rebound has really helped me navigate the process,” Taylor says. “I wouldn’t be going to HSU without them. ... The support network with Project Rebound and other activities, it really sustains me and enriches my life.” As an example, he points to a time he spent three hours trying to turn in a final assignment. When Taylor went to prison, the internet was just gaining a foothold and Google hadn’t even been founded. So, entering college amid distance learning proved to be a unique challenge. Before getting out, Taylor says he’d never even sent an email, let alone attached a document. So he picked up the phone and reached out to fellow Project Rebound students for help. “It’s those little things that make a difference,” Taylor says. Wallin agrees. “I have a couple of mentors from PR at other campus that I can call at any time and say, ‘I’m struggling’ … and I have such a huge network of people I can talk to about my problems but not just my problems, my accomplishments, and other PR members can do the same,” he says. With promoting community and civic engagement part of Project Rebound’s

goals, Wallin says HSU’s Project Rebound program is involved in outreach efforts across the campus and the region. He notes the great work done by Judge Abby Abinanti and the Yurok Tribal Court system in using a “compassion and community-orientated approach,” including reentry programs that provide a wide array of services from housing and treatment to support in making sure tribal members meet the requirements of their release. As part of that, Wallin says Project Rebound is working with the tribe to include information about the program in welcome letters sent to currently incarcerated tribal members in preparation of their return home. On the prevention side, Wallin says HSU’s Project Rebound is also involved with mentorship programs for at-risk youth, as well as the county probation department, and he serves on a committee working to develop a treatment program for youth who will be returning to the county’s jurisdiction when the Department of Juvenile Justice closes in June of 2023. That involvement led to a new Project Rebound workshop that begins this fall, with formerly incarcerated staff members coming to teach a 10-week empowerment course with kids in juvenile hall with the hope of opening their eyes to what is possible in their future “It is one thing to hear such things from a probation officer or a therapist but another from someone they can see a portion of their lives in,” Brenneman says. “Many of these young people don’t have members of their family who have been to college, so it can be a very daunting, abstract concept. Having someone who may have come from a relatable experience talk about their journey can make them understand it is possible for them as well.” Wallin says he’s really excited about the opportunity for the PR students to be “able to interact, mentor and give hope to the youth currently in the hall.” Starting HSU’s Project Rebound during the pandemic made for a difficult inaugural year, Wallin says, with outreach over the phone no substitute for meeting prospective students face-to-face, where they can see a “living example, of, ‘I walked in your shoes and you can do this, too.’” But Wallin is confident the program will only emerge stronger on the other side. “It’s providing hope, and for those people, too, to act as beacons of hope,” he says. l Kimberly Wear (she/her) is the Journal’s digital editor.

ON THE TABLE

The Jefferson Community Center is Turning Up the Heat By Katie Rodriguez

onthetable@northcoastjournal.com

t’s a sunny Friday afternoon at the Jefferson Community Center in Eureka when the kids begin their afternoon harvesting. The garden beds bear a bountiful display of summer produce: kale, chard, snap peas, tomatoes and artichokes, all adorned in vibrant leaves. Raspberry and blackberry brambles crawl up the sides of the fence adjacent to the garden area and graze a fruit tree, the first of its kind here, just beginning to produce what will soon become Honey Crisp apples this fall. The garden, which hosts a group of kids every Friday at noon learning how to tend to the soil, didn’t used to look so lively. Before 2012, when the Westside Community Improvement Association bought the property (formerly the Westside Community Group), it was an abandoned elementary school covered in graffiti, surrounded by a chain link fence and a sea of gravel. Jefferson Elementary School had been sitting empty on the west side of Eureka for about five years when members of the community decided to take matters into their own hands. “Fight Neighborhood Blight!” were the words that began to appear on flyers and posters around the neighborhood, and soon community organizers began to piece together a vision of what the area could become, and how to best utilize a space poised to become the linchpin of the community. Purchasing the property did not come without a long and arduous process, in part spawned by political transitions that created stalemates for the growing number of vociferous community members dedicated to revitalizing the space (“The Council that Kicked the Hornets’ Nest,” Jan. 13, 2011). “We had an intentional, persistent presence of neighbors and we began to take ownership of the space, even though it wasn’t ours,” says Heidi Benzonelli, president of the board of WCIA. “But quite frankly, it was ours. It is the community commons. It was so when it was a school and it is so again as a community center.” Today, the Westside Community Improvement Association exists as a nonprofit devoted to facilitating programs to fulfill the underserved needs of the community. Committed to propelling this community-level change, the nonprofit has worked diligently to resurrect the property, build

a community park, run a family resource center, provide after-school services and offer classes and training courses. From the start, Benzonelli knew that providing food for the community was going to be one of their most important services. “The very first thing [we did with food] was my husband serving hot dogs off his tailgate when we showed up to do landscaping,” she says. “We just knew that if the neighbors and the kids were going to come, they were going to be hungry, so we just fed everybody who came and helped.” Getting the kitchen going after purchasing the property was no easy feat. Years of vacancy brought rust and mortar to the drains, there were outdated appliances and a laundry list of items to inspect and bring up to code. CalFresh, a program offered by the California Department of Social Services, was instrumental in making progress with the kitchen, providing the WCIA with a $44,000 grant that enabled them to kick off summer food programs and serve to the public. Wasting no time in putting the kitchen to use, just a few days after receiving their permits, Benzonelli and volunteers moved swiftly to provide a “burrito bar” for the 240 volunteers assisting with the community center playground build. That was in 2013. Since then, the food service offerings have evolved into a fullfledged, year-long rotating list of programs. “The kitchen is really the heartbeat of the community center,” shares Benzonelli, standing amid the kids getting plates of sauteed vegetables, rice, fresh watermelon slices and tangerines for lunch, all made from scratch. Throughout the year, the Jefferson Community Center provides anyone under the age of 18 with free lunches and often dinners as well, focusing on providing healthy, local foods. “We want to inspire people to think about when produce is in season and think, ‘When you look at the tomato on your sandwich and it’s out of season, where did that come from?’” The Jefferson Project also has a hand in food distribution services. Benzonelli manages several small teams that vend to Alder Grove Charter School and North Coast Children’s Services, deliver produce boxes to seniors and work in tandem with the North Coast Grower’s Association to

On a sunny Friday morning, kids harvest snap peas, blackberries and strawberries in the community garden. Katie Rodriguez use the community center as a distribution site. Together, they work to provide people with Harvest Boxes — affordable, multi-farm-sourced medlies of local, nonGMO produce, similar to a CSA box. Much of the produce comes from the garden, local farmers and local gardeners, and it is supported by CalFresh and the Food for People food bank in Eureka. The culinary cooking classes have been a huge success thus far, doubling as a way to engage the community in learning how to cook different styles of cuisines and raise money for other local nonprofits in need. Last month, Journal contributor Wendy Chan hosted a sold-out, live cooking class teaching people how to make Zongzi — traditional Chinese sticky rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves and stuffed with braised pork belly, shrimp and duck eggs (“Wrapping up Zongzi,” June 10). “We’ll make 40 meals and then the people in the cooking class will get 10 of them. The other 30 we sell,” says Benzonelli. “We split that money with another nonprofit. We never hog it all to ourselves.” During the pandemic, profits from these fundraisers were given to local entities, including North Coast Repertory Theatre, Food for People and the Boys and Girls Club. Future events will include more classes with Chan, as well as an Indian cooking class with Rupali Brown of Pali Yoga. But the Jefferson Community Center is just getting started, taking their food services to the next level. The program will be called Jefferson Cafe, or “J-café,” and will be run by Benzonelli and Chelsea Sterling, the chef and food service director. “The goal here is really to change the hospitality and service industry in Humboldt County by improving and increasing it,” says Benzonelli. “We’re going to be focusing on serving local food where we’re providing local talent and training a local workforce. It’s about sustainability and resilience of our own community.” The Headwaters Fund, which seeks to provide support for projects that en-

rich people trying to get back into the local workforce, provided an economic development grant to get J-Cafe up and running, and to begin training teams and disenfranchised workers for the service industry. The grant has been instrumental in helping Benzonelli and Sterling begin to beautify the space, providing new flooring for the “backstage” classroom in the community center, which sits adjacent to the kitchen and will be renovated and transformed into what will feel like a real concession area. The cafe already has a full espresso machine, juicer, cash register and stainless steel tables — all bought and repurposed from a recently closed down cafe in Rio Del. “We basically bought the whole cafe,” says Sterling with a laugh. Before J-Cafe is fully open to the public, the space will be used for both a Career Technical Education program, where kids will get to learn more about culinary arts and entrepreneurialism, as well as an open-mic night to host community discussions. “We call it ‘Taboo café,’ where kids can talk about things that are normally hush-hush,” says Benzonelli. The sky’s the limit for the Jefferson Community Center, whose ever evolving list of programs and services operate as a positive force in meeting the wants and needs of the community. “We don’t do this all ourselves. There’s a lot of support out there in the community. Even if it’s a little support, that’s what makes it all work. Many hands make up light work at the community center,” says Benzonelli. Those interested in volunteering or working with the community center can send a message via Facebook, call 497-6280 or email lets.buy.jefferson@gmail.com. l Katie Rodriguez (she/her) is a freelance writer based in Berkeley, California.

“LARGEST BRAND SELECTION IN THE COUNTY”

trophycase@northcoastjournal.com

watched a home high school sectional basketball game years ago against a very athletic team from the Bay Area. The game came down to the final minute and one of their athletes was called for a hard foul to put one of our stars at the free throw line to shoot two free throws, down one point. The gym was as wild as I had seen it and the opposing coach called a timeout. I don’t know what passed through the kid’s mind with the biggest game of his life on the line — just that, probably. In front of the packed and rocking crowd, he balked mid attempt and started over. He looked at the rim, propped the ball and stared for a split second. In a robotic style he shot with no follow through and the ball dropped to the floor without even reaching the rim, a rare free throw air ball. His second shot was almost as bad. He had choked. Another time at a basketball game at the same location, I saw a very good player walk out on the court at the beginning of the game. He looked like a deer in headlights, his heart was probably pounding and it appeared he was breathing quickly. The ball was tipped to him, he grabbed it, looked around not knowing what to do and was called for traveling. The official stopped the game, got him to the bench where a paper bag was put over his mouth to breathe carbon dioxide back in. He had panicked. Many people think of panic and choke as the same thing but, in a way, they are opposites. Panic means you have lost the ability to think, where choking, you think too much. Panic can happen anywhere, choking has to do with fans. In a classic piece on sport psychology authored by Malcolm Gladwell in The New Yorker magazine, Gladwell chronicles many examples of choking in sports, including two of the biggest, Greg Norman and Jana Novotna. To summarize, Novotna was on the verge of a Wimbledon title in 1993, just five good strokes away from beating Steffi Graf, the best player in the world. She was up 4-1 on the final set serving at 40-30. She tossed a serve in the air, not as high as usual, and whacked the ball into the net. Her next shot was just as bad, double fault. All the beautiful flow she’d had was gone; terrible net shots, frustration growing, overthinking everything, talking to herself, practicing her strokes slowly between points. She even sent a couple of returns into smithereens and hardly won another point.

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Aug. 19, 2021 • northcoastjournal.com

The moment was too big and after all those years of practicing until she could play almost thoughtlessly, she started to think about how close to history she was. She lost in stunning fashion. Graf hugged her, aware of the enormity of her collapse. Everyone, including Novotna, knew she had choked, and it became a reality forever cemented in her mind that it could happen again. It did. Greg Norman was up six strokes on the final day of the 1996 U.S. Open paired against Nick Faldo with nine holes to go. He was attacking the course and was in the flow. He reached his iron back and hit a shot short of the hole. It rolled back down the steep incline. Then he did it again. Something happened, an awareness. He started to think. Like Novotna he was practicing his swing between shots over and over like a beginner, slicing shots, pulling shots, shaking his hands. He lost by four strokes. The two golfers hugged and cried. Faldo knew he won because Norman had choked. As a side, baseball players sometimes — but rarely — get a bizarre form of choking called “the yips,” where a catcher can’t throw the ball back to the pitcher or a second baseman can’t make the throw to first. Instead, they throw it into the ground. But on a quick throw down to second, when there is no time to think, “Am I going to do it again?” the catcher might throw a perfect strike. The yips is a taboo subject in a baseball clubhouse, evidence that overthinking for even a split second can cause a choke. To examine panic, pretend you have gone camping and at twilight you wander into the wilderness. For some reason, you get disoriented. It is a place you’ve never been. You wander farther, heart starting to beat faster, and you don’t know what direction you are going. You are unable to think of a solution and now you are lost. In sports, it is less common to panic than to choke but athletes can have a bout of panic where the heart beats too fast, breathing gets shallow and they hyperventilate. A swimmer can panic if the goggles slip and water gets inside, an equipment malfunction. The mind goes haywire and the inability to think sets in. The swimmer has not practiced this and his mind races blankly, he starts flailing in the water, he doesn’t have a solution. Gladwell in his writings says, “Choking is about loss of instinct. Panic is a reversion to instinct. They may look the same but they are worlds apart”. Which brings us to Simone Biles. In case

you may have missed this, the greatest gymnast in history decided to not compete in the all-around gymnastics’ finals at last week’s Olympic Games. She certainly didn’t panic; she was way too practiced for that. Did she choke as some columnists have said? She had a major gap of time before the finals to overthink. She probably did think a lot about the “twisties,” a dangerous physical and mental phenomenon in which a gymnast’s body gets confused moving through the air. She had been experiencing them lately while doing moves no one else has ever done. Gymnastics coaches are known for pushing too hard, for not knowing how to calm their athletes. In an Olympics known for strangeness, there was a lot of pressure for the greatest gymnast ever to compete and perform for her advertisers and teammates and, especially, for her country with the racial and political divisions we are facing. She was obviously thinking a lot and didn’t feel safe in such a difficult precise sport with her mental and physical health at such odds. We don’t know all the factors but the fact that she came back with courage and grace and medaled three days later was a tribute to her ability to overcome. People who really follow sport think of Novotna and Norman first for their failure, for choking. This is also often true with Roberto Duran, who quit in the famous “No Mas” incident in the eighth round of a fight against Sugar Ray Leonard, or Chris Webber, who called a time out in the clutch when his team had none left, or when the ball went under Bill Buckner’s legs in the World Series, or Phil Mickelson’s collapse on the 18th hole. I think of their chokes before their triumphs. Choking has to do with fans and the chemistry of the audience. Biles thought of many things five hours before competition and made her decision based on her health, not in the heat of the moment. She didn’t panic and she didn’t choke. Instead, she silenced the chaos and took the road that felt best. l Rod Kausen (he/him) is a retired teacher and coach.

FISHING THE NORTH COAST

Wind Cuts Short Epic Tuna Bite By Kenny Priest

fishing@northcoastjournal.com

nd what an epic bite it was! The onslaught began last Thursday out of Crescent City and didn’t let up until Sunday, when the ocean turned sporty. Fish were caught out of Shelter Cove but the best bite was near Crescent City. Boats leaving Eureka headed northwest to the area off of the mouth of the Klamath River. There was a huge swath of tuna from there north to Brookings. Boats leaving Crescent City met the warm water and boatloads of tuna at 20 miles. The Trinidad boats got in on the action, as well. Tony Sepulveda, of Shellback Sport Fishing, was one of the charters that made the run Friday and Saturday. “Tuna were caught as close as 34 miles northwest of Trinidad,” said Sepulveda. “We did our heavy lifting around 45 miles. The fishing on Friday was ridiculous, with 76 by noon. We had lots of quads, five-ways and even six-bangers. We didn’t have live bait available but did real well sliding colt snipers after the troll rods went off. Saturday was busy but they were a little more tentative. No long dry spells but lots of singles and we ended the day with 37.” Scores were all over the board, ranging from high teens to more than 70 for some boats. A boat fishing out of Brookings even announced a limit of 75 for three anglers by 8:30 a.m. The best way to describe this level of fishing – everyone who went “got all they wanted.” The grade of fish was mixed, ranging from 8 pounds all the way to the high 30s.

The Oceans: Eureka

The tuna water was quite a way from Eureka, but a few boats did make the long 50-plus-mile run. Quite a few of the Eureka boats opted to trailer to Crescent City to get in on the bite from there. The boats that stayed put took advantage of the nice weather and headed to the Cape for rockfish. Tim Klassen, of Reel Steel Sport Fishing, reports the fishing is really good, with easy limits of rockfish. “The blacks are big and plentiful and it’s really easy to catch a quick limit,” he said. “The lingcod were a bit tougher to come by as the wind kept us from getting to some of the better spots, but we did manage to get quite a few.”

Trinidad

Curt Wilson, of Wind Rose Charters, reports the rockfish action is cranking right along, with lots of black rockfish coming over the rails. “Between the Head and Patrick’s Point is still producing quality limits of black rockfish,” he said. “We made a couple trips out to Reading Rock over the weekend and caught a wide variety of rockfish and some nice lingcod. The wind this week may keep us off the water for a few days.” The boat launch is operating from 7 a.m. until 3 p.m.

Shelter Cove

According to Jake Mitchell, of Sea Hawk Sport Fishing, there are still some nice salmon being caught. “It’s not red hot but the average is probably about a fish per angler,” he said. “Some days are better than others as it hasn’t been real consistent. Still lots of bait in close to the harbor and that’s where most of the effort has been. We made our first tuna run on Thursday 57 miles out past Gorda Valley. The grade was pretty small for the most part but there was plenty of action. In five hours of fishing, we boated 55 albacore. Rock fishing was still easy limits with about

a lingcod per rod on the days we tried. Most of the rockfish are being caught at the Hat and the Old Man.”

Lower Klamath

The estuary fishery has slowed down as we wait for the fall kings to come in big numbers and make their way upriver. As of Wednesday, there weren’t many salmon being caught above tidewater, but there are plenty of half-pounders and adult steelhead around. Fall regulations went into effect Sunday, Aug. 15. The daily bag limit will be two Chinook, no more than one adult (greater than 23 inches) and the possession limit is six, no more than three adults.

SCREENS

A Pig, an Eagle and a Paranoid Thriller Ride the Eagle and Pig shine, while Beckett falls short By John J. Bennett

screens@northcoastjournal.com

RIDE THE EAGLE. I did not, do not, probably will not watch the series New Girl. Nothing against it, it just isn’t likely to happen. As such, I know series co-star Jake Johnson primarily from his run of slightly off-kilter, almost on the mainstream radar independent movies, especially the great work he’s done with writer-director Joe Swanberg — Win It All (2017) and Drinking Buddies (2013) are particular stand-outs. I don’t mean to sell the guy short: he also appeared in The Mummy (2017) with Tom Cruise (pretty bad in spite of some good stunt work) and Jurassic World (2015), which was pretty good, in spite of itself. He’s also had his own R-rated animated series, voice-acted in too many shows and movies to count; he’s done the work. It would seem, though, that he has a genre in which he perhaps feels most comfortable: largely improvised, smaller-budget movies that, in defying convention, have created some tropes of their own. And Ride the Eagle, although the odds would seem to be against it, is another of those. It’s not revelatory or genre-shattering, but at once quirky and familiar enough to be comforting. Leif (Johnson) is a percussionist (read: bongo player) in a band. He appears to live in backyard of the the band’s manager. His best — only? — friend is his black labrador, Nora. He is estranged from his free-spirit mother, Honey (Susan Sarandon), who we will learn abandoned Leif when he was 12 to join some sort of spiritual community and has recently died. She has willed her cabin in Yosemite to her son, contingent upon his completing a to-do list of silly but life-affirming personal work. In the process, he begins to reconnect with a lost love (D’arcy Carden) and runs afoul of a mysterious, menacing neighbor (J.K. Simmons). And that’s about it ... small, mostly linear, uncomplicated; it’s a warm-hearted

character study and an opportunity for actors of stature to do exploratory, insightful work in a low-stakes setting. And, perhaps contrary to some of my inclinations, I quite like it. Not Rated. 88M. AMAZON. BECKETT. Something of a minimalist approach is at play here, too, albeit one of an entirely different sort, to explore another, seemingly forgotten genre. A paranoid thriller very much in the European-influenced ‘60s and ‘70s vein, it is inarguably well-executed; it stills feels a little like a movie out of time. Beckett (John David Washington) vacations in Greece with his girlfriend April (Alicia Vikander). They’ve cut short their stay in Athens, having been informed of some looming political unrest. And so, late at night in the remote northern part of the country, they become victims of a tragic road accident. Inexplicably, this seems to put a target on Beckett’s back, with him perhaps becoming unwittingly drawn into the struggle for control of the Greek government. He finds himself pursued by murderous police, aided by leftist activists (Vicky Krieps and Maria Votti) and, eventually, in the dubious care of the U.S. Embassy, embodied here by the greasily charming Tynan (Boyd Holbrooks). There’s a lot to like here: the visual style harkens back with simplicity and sophistication to a truly distinct moment in Western cinema. The narrative (written by director Ferdinanco Cito Filomarino and Kevin Rice), elliptical where it needs to be and frequently wordless, amplifies the uncertainty and discomfort of the scenario, forcing Beckett into increasingly dangerous, almost unnavigable situations. As much as I wish they did, though, movies don’t exist in a vacuum, particularly movies about political unrest with echoes in them of the very recent past. So there is an element of inauthenticity to this, a manufactured version of real events that neither hews to nor departs from them

enough to truly distinguish itself. And as much as I like to see Washington on screen, and admire his continuing quest to work with auteurs on distinctive projects, I’m not sure this is the right part for him. TV-MA. 48M. NETFLIX. PIG. Now, the thing about Nicolas Cage: he just might be one of the greatest American actors still working. Before the fusillade, hear me out. I know he appears in approximately nine very bad movies to every good one, and that he can tend toward bug-eyed mania in many of both schools; to be fair, many of us find such mania consummately charming. But then, usually when we’re least expecting it, he’ll get ahold of a script, or be reached out to by a director, that re-lights the fire of the fine dramatic artist he is. And then we get something like Pig (written by Vanessa Block and Michael Sarnoski, directed by Sarnoski). Rob (Cage), a truffle forager living deeply off-grid in the Oregon woods, is attacked in the night and his pig kidnapped. We learn, gradually, that tragic loss has driven Rob away from the Portland fine-dining establishment in which he was something of a godhead. The pig being his only companion, he is motivated, in his taciturn way, to find her and get her back. What follows, both a journey through the underbelly of food culture and a deflation thereof, really serves as an opportunity for Cage to show us how powerful he can be in stillness. This is a performance literally unlike any other he has given, devoid of grandstanding or face-pulling or any of the things we’ve come to expect as Cage clichés. Instead, he controls every frame in which he appears (which is most of them) with palpable grief and it is exquisite, devastating and, somehow, life-giving. R. 92M. AMAZON. l John J. Bennett (he/him) is a movie nerd who loves a good car chase.

his is an old ranch entrance on Kneeland Road. The grassy upland meadows make up the spine of Humboldt County. A third of the county’s land is occupied by ranches and many utilize this difficult agricultural land for cattle grazing. Some 100 years ago, the primary livestock on these upland meadows was sheep. The grazing livestock industry has been — and still is — the backbone of the settled Humboldt culture and economy. l Rowdy Kelley (he/him) is a TV and film location scout/manager, producer and director with family roots in Humboldt going back to 1900.

John Harvey McKenzie 1939-2021 John Harvey McKenzie, age 81, of McKinleyville, CA, passed peacefully August 11. He was in the hospital for a brief illness, and was in the presence of his devoted daughter and dog. John McKenzie was born August 1939 in Ventura, California, and grew up in Ojai, CA. He attended Nordoff High School but dropped out short of completing his curriculum when a forest fire broke out in Ojai Valley, lying about his age. He went on to work for the US Forest Service for 40 years, starting out as a Hotshot Firefighter, before his training and work as a Heavy Equipment Mechanic. He spent his last ten years in the USFS as the Head Zone Mechanic for the entire Las Padres National Forest. In 1996, he retired where he and his wife moved to McKinleyville from Morro Bay. To stay busy, he worked as a Medical Transporter. John was also a professional photographer of nature, wildlife and aerial fire fighting, He loved bluegrass music, and meeting his friends for breakfast at Niveen’s. All of his interests were a true testimony of his love, knowledge, and appreciation of life and the beauty of living. He was a humbled hero to many, guardian to his family, and those close to him. He was truly one of the good guys, a real gentleman with the kindest heart. He will be deeply missed to all who knew him. John McKenzie is survived by his daughter of Mount Shasta, and two sisters. He was preceded in death by his adoring wife of 40 years, Virginia (Gina) McKenzie.

Doris Yvonne Gocha was born on October 8, 1937 in Houston, Texas, to Bessie and Harry Robertson. She was the middle sister to Cova (Vernell) and Patricia, and had a brother, Jesse. Her family moved around a lot when Doris was young and lived for a time in White Sands, New Mexico, where Harry helped build scaffolding to hold the newly developed atomic bomb. Doris had memories of living on a military base there and how her father witnessed the testing while wearing goggles and standing inside an open bunker. The family continued to move around Doris Yvonne Gocha and eventually headed west and settled in California. Doris was a talented artist, even at an early 1937-2021 age. She told the story of how she had loved reading Archie Comics and that when there was an art contest for its new Katy Keene series, she entered her drawing and won. She was disappointed, however, that she was never able to find a copy of the comic book with her winning drawing in it. In 1956 Doris married George Gocha. They had three children together, Timothy, Deborah and James. The family enjoyed many happy times while living in Granada Hills, an L.A. suburb that still held citrus groves and working farms. Special family outings included jumping into the station wagon in the evenings and going to drive-in movies, all the kids wearing pajamas and eventually falling asleep in the back of the car. During the hot summers, trips to the beaches of southern California were common. George would drive the family down the coast, meeting up with other family members from Oceanside, including his parents, and his siblings and their kids. Pictures show very young families, and one of Deborah with her father around the time she almost drowned in an undertow. She had been saved first by her grandmother trying to grab her and then by her father finally pulling her from the ocean and onto the beach. The family went on several camping trips including one to Yellowstone. Doris remembered once returning from the camp bathroom wearing face cream and curlers, only to find a deserted campground because a bear was seen roaming around and everyone had been told to get into their tents and campers. The family was panicked and yelling for her to hurry inside the little camper, which she finally did. She later said she had nightmares where a bear was chasing her and when she got to what she thought was the safety of a house and tried to open the front door, the door was always locked. The family suffered a blow when young James one day began choking and couldn’t breathe. His siblings were with him and alerted their parents, who rushed James to the emergency room. Though he turned blue on the way to the hospital, once there the doctors were able to save him. Happier times for the family included occasional trips “over the hill” to rural Newhall, where Doris’s sisters and their families lived. The kids ran wild outside well into the night, exploring the canyons and dry creek beds. George, despite having experienced hearing loss during the Korean War, joined the other men inside playing instruments and singing country songs. Doris and the other ladies sat at a nearby table, listening to the lively music while playing Yahtzee and drinking soda pop. Doris loved music, especially country music. She and George had once met singer Eddy Arnold, a favorite, and were so taken with him that they named their first son Timothy Arnold. Doris also loved Elvis, Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins and Jim Reeves. And just to mix things up, she said she enjoyed listening to Creedence Clearwater Revival, a rock band. Doris continued to draw and paint throughout her life, eventually turning to oils, a creative practice she found fulfilling. She also loved reading, regularly visiting local libraries and checking out as many books as she could carry. George and Doris eventually divorced and Doris went on to work in accounting offices, primarily. She did her best to raise three teenagers on her own while working full time. She had grit and was very stubborn. Those traits helped her through the rough times in her life, but were also sometimes a mixed blessing for those around her. Her family joked that her stubbornness was what kept her going. And it did keep her going for over eight decades. She died peacefully with her loved ones around her on July 30, 2021 in Lancaster, California. Doris was proceeded in death by both of her parents and all of her siblings, as well as her son, James and her son-in-law, Jerry. She is survived by her son, Tim (Linda) and daughter, Deborah; her grandchildren Emilee (Kenny), Matt, Chris (Jessica) and Carson; her great-grandchildren Emma and Theo; and numerous nieces and nephews. Doris will be laid to rest near her family. In lieu of flowers, and in her memory, we encourage everyone to gather and record family memories with your loved ones while you still can. We all have our stories to tell.
