FRESH STRAIN FRIDAYS!

How good to rest in mountain light. By tumbling brook and jagged mount. The war torn cities far below Know nothing of a world so right.

How good to feel the june-warm sun, The cool caress of mountain breeze, As tired muscles and mind unwind And life’s illusions are undone.

Systems, DK Air, Liberty, Redwood Capital Bank, Coast Central Credit Union, Living Styles, Locher, Blue Star Gas, SJL Construction, Harper Motors, JLF Construction, Hooven Construction, Cal-Ore Life Flight, Lost Coast Brewery, Humboldt Fence and a special shout out to Cody and his outstanding staff at ACV. My apologies, if I have forgotten anyone.

Love Humboldt!

How good to watch the dance of light On lake and rock and trembling leaf. Warbler and bunting sing their joy As shadows lengthen toward night.

‘Kudos to All’

Editor:

A fair amount of letters submitted decries, in my view and others, the heavy handed response to the protests at Cal Poly and ads supporting said response (Mailbox, Aug. 22). The problem is that most of those mentioned are elected positions. They can be voted out of office. The electorate, without the benefit of our intelligence and superior intellect, has time and again extended a finger, and not the index one, at our admonitions.

Big shout out to our Humboldt County Supervisors Natalie Arroyo, Rex Bohn, Michelle Bushnell, Steve Madrone and Mike Wilson for bringing Justin Zabel’s brainchild, The Rumble Over the Redwoods air show, successfully to our community (Calendar, Aug. 8). Kudos to all.

May I suggest a political litmus test in order to be able to vote in these contests? Although all political opinions are equal, some are more equal than others.

‘Too Bad’

Editor:

As this marvelous event unfolded last weekend, many in the horse community were at the McKinleyville Rodeo Association Arena for a two-day gymkhana. Approximately 50 riders and 80 horses, and we were all extra enjoying the air show directly above our heads as we played and enjoyed our favorite activity.

I personally can tell you that we are all excited and looking forward to next year’s air show. A great example of success when a community works together. As Humboldt County continues on our quest for economic vitality, these types of activities put our airport in great stead for enhanced commuter airline participation.

I would like to thank all of our volunteers, event donors and all the spectacular performers: Humboldt Lodging Alliance, Danco, George Peterson Insurance, C and K Johnson Industries, Schmidbauer Lumber, Owsley Electric, GR Sundberg, R Brown Construction, Advanced Security

I am really pleased to see your report “Humboldt Cannabis Wins Big at Fair” (Aug. 15). It points to the glory awaiting our county and its rightfully premier industry! Too bad, though, your paper has bypassed the many growers, licensed and not, who pump out of creeks nights and weekends, run big but ignored fire risks, and also our illegal friends from the south who heavily spray poisons that no doubt reach your waters. You also have merely gently smiled at our few dishonest politicians and regulators. Could it have to do with where you get so much of your advertising money? Well, it was refreshing to read this one, so thanks, yeah.

‘Back into the Sunlight’

Editor:

Thank you for the epic tale of Aaron Bjorkstrand (“Freeing Aaron Bjorkstrand,”

Aug. 22). The lawyers in the Humboldt County Public Defender’s Office are like the heroes of Greek myths who toil endlessly to drag a soul up from the grim kingdom of Hades, back into the sunlight. Both time and space have a completely different meaning down there. Cruel, rockhard laws take decades to be worn away. The U.S. Supreme Court is as unyielding as the dark Ruler of the Dead: Scalia’s judgement in 1993 that there is “no basis in the Constitution for a right to demand consideration of newly discovered evidence of innocence brought forward after conviction” still stands. Innocence isn’t enough. It’s irrelevant.

Thadeus Greenson’s article points inarguably to the social factors precipitating Bjorkstrand’s tragedy. It allows him to describe the hell he was thrown into. Voters are responsible for choosing governments which spend billions on provoking and waging war instead of nurturing our populations into prosperity. Attorneys like Adrian Kamada, who tirelessly tear into the obstacles obstructing justice, should be honored. Other public defenders have worked exhaustively to present defenses that directly address vital issues, instead of circuitous arguments based on legal minutiae of little relevance to the defendants. This happened recently in Humboldt with forest defenders, whose attorneys dared to argue the defendants’ reason for blockading a northern-spotted-owl-populated forest: necessity.

There are prosecutors, too, with courage and integrity, one of whom is presently on the international stage: Karim Khan, who charged Netanyahu with war crimes. Fourteen senators wrote a letter to the ICC stating that this prosecution threatened U.S. sovereignty. They warned Khan that the U.S. might react by invading the Hague. Congress, too, voted overwhelmingly to sanction Khan.

Perhaps part of Bjorkstrand’s recovery from prison will include helping others

to overcome the sorrows of poverty, and reject drug addiction.

‘A Lifetime Lesson’

Editor:

I give tours at Humboldt Botanical Garden to groups of seniors, families, school summer camp, sorority sisters, horticulture and science societies, visitors from around the world, college students, cruise ship tourists and one 100-year-old lady’s birthday outing with her family (Calendar, Aug. 22).

I get many warm appreciative comments at the gate as I bid, “Thank you for coming to Humboldt Botanical Garden, please come again,” but recently I received the gift of an envelope filled with handmade and written thank you cards from students at a Cutten summer school.

The consideration their teachers gave the students as a lesson in gracious manners is a lifetime lesson from that we could all learn. A personal thank you is a gift from the heart. Several of the children’s cards identified a particular plant that they came to know and appreciate. Just like any well-crafted thank you card, the students made their notes personal for themselves and for me, their guide. Thank you to the Cutten summer school tour leader for sharing your students with us. Inspire, educate, grow.

Eureka City Schools to Talk Jacobs, Grand Jury Response

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

The California Highway Patrol appears to be back at the table, negotiating to purchase 8.3 acres of the former Jacobs Middle School campus from Eureka City Schools.

A closed session item for the board to conference with Superintendent Gary Storts, the district’s negotiator, concerning price and terms of payment of a potential deal with CHP kicks off the agenda for the board’s Thursday meeting, which also will feature open session items discussing the future and immediate past of the Jacobs site.

In the first meeting since the district’s controversial $6 million property exchange deal with a mystery developer fell through, the board will hear an update from district

staff on possible options for the Jacobs site and discuss the district’s response to a Humboldt County Civil Grand Jury report sharply critical of the board’s handling of the now defunct deal.

The California Highway Patrol has reportedly remained interested in purchasing the property to make it the future home of its Northern Humboldt headquarters since the district board abruptly voted in December to break off negotiations with the agency and instead accept the $6 million exchange offer from a mystery developer. That deal — which would have seen the district trade the property for a small home on I Street and $5.35 million in cash — fell apart earlier this month when the district declined the developer’s request to extend escrow past November and the developer, known only

as AMG Communities-Jacobs, LLC, then decided to walk away from the agreement.

According to the district, the CHP had previously offered $4 million to purchase the property, which the district had declared surplus years earlier and had laid dormant since 2012.

In a draft presentation included with the staff report for Thursday’s meeting, Assistant Superintendent of Business Services Paul Ziegler outlines five basic options the board can pursue with the property.

First, the district can simply opt to retain it in its current condition, fencing it off and making some improvements to the adjacent athletic fields. The presentation notes that if the board goes this route, it could then resume the surplus property sale process at any time. In its press statement announcing

it was abandoning the deal, AMG Communities-Jacobs, LLC, blamed city opposition to changing the property’s zoning for its decision to walk away but said it may look to resume negotiations with the district if Measure F — a ballot measure coming before voters in November that would rezone the property, among other things — passes. City officials have strongly pushed back against AMG’s assertions, saying they had been actively trying to engage the company’s principals on their plans but received no response, but if the board takes the mystery developer at their word, holding tight for a few months could be an appealing approach.

Bankrolled by Robin P Arkley II’s Security National to the tune of almost $1 million, Measure F seeks to block the city

of Eureka’s plans to convert municipally owned parking lots in the downtown and Old Town areas into multi-family housing by including onerous parking requirements that o cials say would be cost prohibitive. To make up for the lost housing units, according to proponents, the measure would rezone the Jacobs site to accommodate multi-family housing development, though that wouldn’t prevent a public agency — like the school district or the California Highway Patrol — from building something else there. The measure will be decided by Eureka voters in November.

The second option Ziegler presents is resuming negotiations with CHP, with his presentation noting it “has expressed ongoing interest in purchasing” the site. To some extent, the closed session items regarding negations with the agency indicates district sta is already exploring this option.

The third option is for the board to declare its intent to sell or lease the property, notify the public and begin a competitive bidding process that would allow it to “choose a partner,” noting the sale or lease would not necessarily have to go to the highest bidder.

The fourth option is to consider constructing workforce housing on the site. The district had previously referenced the need for workforce housing as a justification for acquiring the residential property on I Street in the exchange agreement with AMG, and the state of California has recently taken a host of actions to push districts to convert surplus property into housing for teachers and sta , as well as students and their families. The presentation notes, however, that this would entail an “extensive process.”

Finally, Ziegler’s presentation informs the board it could “explore other creative solutions,” including a property exchange like the one explored with AMG, a joint occupancy of the property or a public-private partnership to develop it.

Ziegler’s report is agendized as a discussion item, so no final action will be taken.

In related matters, the board is slated to consider its o cial — and legally required — reply to the grand jury report from earlier this year that blasted trustees for failing to follow the spirit of California’s open meeting laws and conduct su cient due diligence before entering into the exchange agreement with AMG.

The proposed response — prepared by Storts — largely disagrees with the grand jury’s six findings, while saying it has implemented some of the oversight outlined in the body’s recommendations.

The draft response disagrees with the grand jury’s finding that the district failed to properly describe the property exchange on its Dec. 14 agenda, as required by state

law, depriving the public of an opportunity to be informed and question the details of the board’s upcoming decision. The draft response asserts that the district met noticing requirements for the meeting, a notion experts in California open meeting laws interviewed by the Journal have disputed.

The draft response also disagrees with a grand jury finding that the district should have listed the identity of who was negotiating on behalf of AMG on the agenda, saying that’s not required by state law.

The grand jury also found that the district’s public notice of the pending real estate exchange did not include drafts of the proposed agreement and the accompanying resolution authorizing it, “therefore, the public did not have an opportunity to be informed and to question the pending decision.” The district’s draft response disagrees, saying it released the documents to the public after the board directed sta in closed session to move forward with the agreement and the item was then discussed in open session, with an opportunity for public comment.

“However,” the draft response states, “the board appreciates and understands the grand jury’s concern with allowing the public a longer opportunity to review agreements being considered by the board when feasible.”

The draft response does not address the contention of experts interviewed by the Journal that the law required the draft documents be made available to the public at the same time they were given to the majority of the board, which records indicate came days before meeting. It does, however, later concede that “the public could have been a orded additional time to review the agreement, for example, if the open session item had been deferred to a later board meeting,” but o ers no reason why that wasn’t done.

In the draft response, the district flatly dismisses the notion its board acted “without su cient prudence and due diligence,” but also says the district was under no legal obligation to perform due diligence like reviewing a developer’s financials or prequalifying them.

“The board approved a real estate transaction on the basis that the additional cash consideration would directly benefit the district’s students by aiding needed improvements to district facilities,” the draft response states. “That purpose is directly in line with the district’s mission and statutory authority, while other local public policy issues beyond the district’s responsibility may not be.”

The grand jury recommended the district take a number of actions to avoid a similar situation in the future.

First, it recommended the district

designate an employee to attend closed session discussions and keep confidential notes documenting the discussions. The district’s draft response says this will not be implemented, noting it’s illegal to disclose confidential closed session discussions and that such notes “could lead to the impermissible disclosure of such information.”

The grand jury also recommended the district “make details of the Jacobs property negotiations” public, which the district’s draft response says it has already done through open session discussions and responses to public records act requests.

The grand jury also recommends the district work to ensure its compliance with the “spirit and intent” of the state’s open meeting laws, which the draft response says the district is already doing.

The district should also create audio and video recordings of all its open session meetings, the grand jury recommended. The district’s draft response says it is working on implementing this change to improve the public’s ability to attend meetings remotely and review them after the fact.

Finally, the grand jury recommended district trustees and sta engage in “comprehensive” training on state open meeting laws from someone outside the district and the California School Boards Association. The draft response indicates this is “partially” happening, saying the board “as a part of their commitment to transparency and openness, annually participates in governing workshops and trainings.” But the draft response contends the recommendation the district use consultants una liated with the district or the association is “unwarranted.”

“The board and district sta are committed to receiving annual governance training, including on the Brown Act, but will continue to exercise the district’s discretion as to the appropriate trainers,” the draft response states.

Storts’ draft response concludes by thanking the grand jury, by way of presiding Humboldt County Superior Court Judge Kelly Neel, who oversees it, for the “insight and recommendations.”

“The board and district sta is committed to take the expressed desire for greater transparency into account in any future real property transactions,” the draft response states. “The board looks forward to shifting focus back to the mission and vision of the district and its support of the important work of educating students.”

The open session of the board meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 29, preceded by closed session at 5:30 p.m., in the Frances H. Taplin Board Room at the district o ce, 2100 J St. ● This story was first published to northcoastjournal.com.

“LARGEST BRAND SELECTION IN THE COUNTY”

Sequoia Park Zoo Says Sad Good-bye to ‘Original Red Panda’

The Sequoia Park Zoo announced Aug. 21 that Sumo, one of the original red pandas to call the Eureka facility home, has died at the age of 15.

According to an announcement on the zoo’s Facebook page, Sumo’s passing was “not entirely unexpected due to his advanced age” — the species’ typical lifespan in the wild is eight to 10 years — but “no less heartbreaking for the staff, volunteers, and guests who loved and cared for him.”

Sumo and his brother Shifu arrived at the zoo to much fanfare in 2010. While Shifu was later transferred to another zoo, Sumo and mate Stella Luna produced two litters together, “increasing the red panda popula-

tion by three beautiful daughters: Mohu, the eldest, followed by Masala and Cinni,” the post states.

(As many readers may recall, Masala prompted a massive local search effort and made national news after escaping from the family enclosure in November of 2015, escaping capture for several days before being found safe and sound.)

Red pandas are an endangered species and the zoo credits Sumo for helping “share the story of red pandas and their need for conservation” as an animal ambassador by engaging and educating “thousands of guests during his time at Sequoia Park Zoo,” noting “some guests may be lucky enough to have an original Red Panda Painting made by Sumo

Medical Debt Wouldn’t Hurt Credit Under CA Bill

Medical debt weighs heavily on the lives of millions of Californians. It can ding their credit scores and hurt their chances of landing a rental or securing a home mortgage.

Earlier this year, the Biden administration announced a proposal to stop medical debt from showing up on credit reports. That proposed rule is under consideration with an uncertain timeline.

California lawmakers are moving faster with a similar measure that would take effect as soon as January if it becomes law.

Sen. Monique Limón, a Santa Barbara Democrat, is carrying Senate Bill 1061, which would remove medical debt from credit reports and prohibit debt collectors from reporting patients’ medical debt information to credit agencies. It would pertain specifically to debt owed to a medical provider, such as a hospital or a doctor’s office.

It passed the Assembly on Aug. 26 and is heading to the Senate for a final vote. Until recently, the bill would have also included debt charged to medical credit cards and specialty loans, but changes in the Assembly Appropriations Committee redefined “medical debt” to exclude these.

Limón was surprised by the changes. The amendments were a win for a coalition of bankers and lenders that had been requesting

that change for months. Following the amendments, the coalition removed its opposition to the proposal.

“This legislation passed through three Assembly policy committees without the most recent amendments by Assembly Appropriations, which substantially weaken the bill,” Limon told CalMatters in an emailed statement. “It is clear that … influential entities opposed to the measure prevailed.

“In spite of this disappointing setback, I plan to continue pushing for the passage of S.B. 1061 in the hope that we can provide partial relief to consumers.”

Representatives for Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas would not comment on the bill and Assembly Appropriations Committee Chairperson Buffy Wicks did not reply to messages and emails asking why the changes were made. Those lawmakers can change bills in the Appropriations Committee.

Supporters of Limon’s bill say even though the feds are moving in a similar direction, California’s bill still has merit.

“The (federal) rulemaking right now, it’s just a proposal. It could get watered down ... And then, of course, depending on what happens with the election, there’s a big question mark of what happens to any of our federal rules,” said Jenn Engstrom, state director with the California Interest Research Group, a co-sponsor of the bill. “So rather than leaving it up to

walking through paint and onto a canvas.”

“In recent years, Sumo had been treated for common age-related concerns, including joint pain, dental issues, and loss of muscle tone in his hind legs,” the zoo states in the post. “Animal care staff worked with Sumo to meet the changing needs of an older animal, which included modifications to the habitat, physical therapy, and medication for pain management. Last week, Sumo suffered a rapid decline in health, and, despite the best efforts of his care team, veterinary

staff were unable to stabilize him.”

The zoo said a “standard necropsy procedure will be conducted to determine the cause of death.”

The Sequoia Park Zoo is inviting the community “to share a photo or memory as we celebrate the one-and-only Sumo — the original red panda resident at the Zoo” through its social media pages.

the uncertainty of the federal government, we think it’s really important that California has a strong role here.”

The bill is backed by Attorney General Rob Bonta and the California Nurses Association, among other health advocates. Proponents argue that people acquire medical debt through no fault of their own. After all, going into debt because you need surgery is not the same as going into debt for a luxury vacation. Experts and advocates say medical debt is also more prone to inaccuracies because of mistakes in billing or disputes with insurers.

The bill “does not forgive debt, but it does ensure that when it’s not reported we don’t negatively impact credit scores for a lifetime for people,” Limón said.

If the bill makes it to the governor’s desk and he signs it, California would join states such as Colorado and New York in prohibiting medical debt from damaging credit scores.

The burden of medical debt

About four in 10 Californians report carrying some type of medical debt, according to the California Health Care Foundation. Nationally, the average medical balance on credit reports is around $3,100.

“The impact of this debt is so well-known that many people take it into consideration when deciding whether to seek care when they need it, and many opt not to, deciding to steer clear of the (medical) bill, which puts their health at risk,” said Katie Van Deynze, a policy and legislative advocate with the consumer advocacy group Health Access California.

In June, the Biden administration announced a proposal that would bar medical

debt from appearing on credit reports. It’s expected to help raise the credit scores of approximately 15 million Americans by an average of 20 points, according to the administration’s announcement. The administration estimates that would translate to the approval of about 22,000 additional mortgages every year.

The federal proposal also leaves out medical credit cards, a gap Limón was hoping to close.

Medical credit cards may be offered by medical providers as an option to cover the cost of a procedure. They can be enticing, offering people the option of no payment upfront and a promotional period of deferred interest. However, if interest does kick in, it can be higher than that of a regular credit card.

Groups such as the California Bankers Association argued that the definition of “medical debt” in Limón’s bill was too broad. The only debt that should be included in this legislation, they said, is the kind that is directly owed to a medical facility or provider. In hearings and letters to the Legislature, lobbyists for these groups argued that medical credit cards could also be used for elective procedures, fitness programs and veterinary services, among other expenses. That type of debt, they argued, should not be hidden from creditors.

‘Loss’

Mad River Hospital’s birth center to close, igniting layered concerns about a healthcare system in ‘crisis’

By Thadeus Greenson

thad@northcoastjournal.com

When Mad River Community Hospital recently announced it plans to suspend labor and delivery services in October, the news was met in the local community with a mixture of shock and grief as word spread via social media.

“Literally so sad to see this go,” one local mother posted. “My birthing experience there and the sta were just so incredible.”

“Wow, this is so sad,” posted another. “All of my kids were born here.”

In provider circles, however, the news, while sad, did not come as a surprise.

“While the timing of the closure was sooner than expected, we have all been anticipating this coming,” said Emma Hackett, the pregnancy services medical director at Open Door Community Health Centers, noting most rural hospitals no longer o er obstetrics services. “Obstetrical services have been eliminated at hospitals all over the nation … . Maternity care does not make money. Reimbursement has never been lower, while overhead continues to soar.”

Indeed, the decision to shutter labor and delivery services at a hospital where they were once considered a crown jewel comes as part of a nationwide trend that providers warn could have dire consequences for maternal mortality rates and families experiencing what can be the most important moment in many people’s lives. Meanwhile, others say the closure and what it means for expecting families underscores the hard reality of a for-profit medical system in which care delivery often hinges on what a patient can a ord. It

also leaves St. Joseph Hospital — a Catholic institution — as the only local option for families who want or need to give birth in a hospital setting, raising questions of both capacity and patient care.

‘A Seven-figure Annual Loss’

In the hospital’s press release announcing the “suspension” of labor and delivery services, Mad River Community Hospital CEO Douglas Shaw called the decision one of the hardest in his tenure, noting its once vaunted status as the “premier” childbirth provider in the county.

Shaw then o ered a succinct rationale.

Live Births in Humboldt Per Year

“Over the past four years, volumes have declined significantly to the point where we are performing, on average, less than 25 births per month,” he said. “We used to average 60-plus births per month, which was necessary to fund the service line. At our current volume, [labor and delivery] has been sustaining a seven-figure annual loss for the past several years. When the decline in volume is combined with inadequate and stagnated reimbursement rates under Medi-Cal, unfunded mandates for seismic compliance and other significant challenges for rural healthcare, the continuation of L&D service will jeopardize

the hospital’s continued viability in the community.”

The press release notes the hospital will continue to o er other gynecological services, like hysterectomies, laparoscopies and tubal ligations, while reinvesting the money saved from discontinuing labor and delivery services into a new psychiatric crisis stabilization unit and re-opening of home health services.

The hospital’s halting of labor and delivery services falls in line with a national trend that already hit locally, with Providence’s decision in 2021 to discontinue its

obstetrics program at Redwood Memorial Hospital, merging it with that of St. Joseph Hospital. At the time, a Mad River Community Hospital spokesperson told the Times-Standard staff were saddened to hear the news, saying, “it is unfortunate that a large health care system from outside of the area has made sweeping decisions that impact the local community.” She pledged that Mad River’s “commitment to women’s choice has not and will not waiver.”

Three and a half years later, things look markedly different.

More than 50 maternity wards have closed in California since 2012, according to a CalMatters report, including four in the first months of 2024. The reasons are layered but can be simplified as follows: Labor and delivery units are unprofitable, particularly at smaller hospitals, because reimbursements are low and overhead is high.

don’t allow them to achieve economies of scale.

And Humboldt County’s birth rate has been in steady decline, mirroring a statewide trend that is seeing Californians having half as many babies as they were 30 years ago.

According to state data, Humboldt County has similarly gone from seeing an average of 163 births a month in 1990 (down from 230 three decades earlier) to 106 per month in 2020. That number fell to 86 per month in 2023.

Humboldt County’s birth rate has been in steady decline,

mirroring a statewide trend that is seeing Californians having half as many babies as they were 30 years ago.

Labor and delivery units are expensive to run. They must be staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year with specialized staff and equipment, with adjacent operating rooms and anesthesiologists at the ready, should something go wrong. Additionally, obstetrics sees some of the highest medical malpractice insurance rates because they face a proportionately high volume of lawsuits, with 64 percent of obstetrician-gynecologists having been sued, according to a study by the American Medical Association. Additionally, the units have been subject to the same inflationary pressures affecting all other sectors in recent years.

Reimbursement rates, meanwhile, are comparatively low, according to providers, particularly under Medi-Cal, California’s Medicaid program for low-income residents, which pays for half of all births in the state but reimburses at lower rates than private insurance.

Tory Starr, Open Door’s president and CEO, says reimbursement for obstetric healthcare across the board is insufficient, noting Open Door runs a $1 million annual deficit to “offer high-quality, comprehensive pregnancy services.”

The Department of Health and Care Services increased Medi-Cal reimbursement rates for obstetrics services by 11 percent last year, effective Jan. 1, but providers say they still fall far below the cost of providing care. This seems particularly true at facilities — most commonly those in rural areas — with birth volumes that

There are also indications Mad River is seeing a smaller percentage of the births that do occur locally. Providers say a number of factors have played into that trend.

Kim Ervin, who retired a few weeks ago after a decades-long career as a physician providing obstetrical and gynecological care locally, says one of the factors is likely the changing demographics of expectant mothers.

“You see more older women having babies, the trend toward women delaying childbirth until later in life,” she says, adding that results in more high-risk pregnancies, with mothers more likely to choose St. Joseph because it has a neonatal intensive care unit on site.

By some metrics, St. Joseph Hospital has also improved maternity care. One of the first metrics many expecting mothers look at when deciding where to delivery their baby is the cesarean section rate, as most want a vaginal delivery and the environment that will best facilitate it. While St. Joseph’s rate of cesarian births used to be much higher than Mad River’s, it joined the California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative in 2017 and narrowed the gap, going from a 22-percent cesarean rate to 13.2 percent in the first year — well under the national benchmark of 23.9 percent.

Ervin says she also suspects challenges in retaining experienced nurses and reinvesting in the birth center, even with little things like a fresh coat of paint, have likely led more mothers to choose to deliver at St. Joseph in recent years.

And come October, those who prefer — or need — to give birth in a hospital setting will have no other local option.

Consolidation Concerns

When Providence decided to close the childbirth unit at Redwood Memorial Hospital a few years back, there was an immediate outcry from the community,

with many voicing concern about the added 30-minute drive laboring mothers in the Eel River Valley and Southern Humboldt would face. Families in the northern and eastern reaches of Humboldt County now face similar concerns, with mothers in McKinleyville, Orick or Willow Creek now facing an added 20 minutes of travel time to receive care.

And in cases of emergency, that can make all the di erence. According to a 2022 report by March of Dimes, a nonprofit dedicated to improving maternal healthcare, traveling more than 30 minutes to an obstetric hospital increases the probability of maternal deaths or severe health episodes by 9 percent.

But even absent emergencies, the consolidation of all Humboldt County’s hospital delivery services to St. Joseph raises capacity concerns.

Christian Hill, a spokesperson for the hospital, says it delivered 667 babies in 2023 — about 65 percent of those born in the county, according to state data. Hill did not directly answer a Journal inquiry asking how many simultaneous deliveries the childbirth center at St. Joseph and current sta ng levels can accommodate.

“Providence is deeply committed to serving our community and we understand that changes to these services can have a significant impact,” he said in an email. “We’re working hand in hand with Mad River Hospital, Open Door Health Centers and other community partners to ensure that we maintain safe, high-quality care for moms and babies in Humboldt County. As with any potential increase in patient demand at our hospitals, we will position ourselves so that we meet the needs of our community.”

the primary option for recruiting obstetricians. Because it’s a Catholic hospital guided by the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services, St. Joseph prohibits providers from promoting contraceptive care or doing direct sterilization procedures, which Ervin says may be a non-starter for many physicians with options about where they want to work.

“Most OBGYNs now are women,” Ervin says. “Most women who go into obstetrics and gynecology are not going to be happy about signing a contract saying you’re not going to promote contraceptive care to be a clinician at St. Joseph. They’re not going to. It’s not good. Not having Mad River, yeah, it’s not going to help us recruit OBGYNs here.”

Asked about whether physicians practicing at St. Joseph have to sign a contract saying they won’t promote contraceptive care, Hill didn’t answer directly.

“Providence deeply respects the doctor-patient relationship,” he wrote in an email. “Each patient’s unique needs are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, and treatment decisions are made privately between patients and their care teams. At Providence St. Joseph Hospital Eureka, physicians are expected to follow sound medical practice and the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services.”

“Can we really deliver all these babies safely, that used to be delivered at three hospitals, at one?”

— Dr. Kim Ervin, OBGYN, retired

Ervin, for her part, says she’s heard there are some days when St. Joseph’s birth center has “trouble keeping up with existing volume,” saying she’s concerned it may not be able to sustain the increased volume that will come with Mad River’s closure, to say nothing of what might happen if birth trends reverse in the coming years.

“Can we really deliver all these babies safely, that used to be delivered at three hospitals, at one?” Ervin asked.

There are other concerns, as well.

When the hospital system shuttered obstetrical services at Redwood Memorial, one of the reasons it cited was a shortage of providers locally. Ervin says she fears the suspension of deliveries at Mad River could exacerbate this, leaving St. Joseph as

Those directives, however, do prohibit physicians from promoting contraceptive care and providing sterilization services unless “medically necessary.”

That stance can result in care that deviates from what many providers see as best practices.

For example, for pregnant women who have decided they do not want to have another child, it’s common for non-religious hospitals to perform a tubal ligation sterilization either during a cesarean section or shortly after vaginal birth. This both streamlines recovery and alleviates the need for a second procedure, decreasing associated risks, while postponing a tubal ligation also increases the risk of an unwanted pregnancy.

The reality of the diminished choice that consolidating hospital deliveries to St. Joseph could bring seemed to strike a chord with some locally as they grieved the looming loss of Mad River’s delivery services.

“This is devastating,” posted one woman. “I do not trust St. Joes as a Catholic institution with my reproductive health.”

‘Our Healthcare System is Failing’

As a licensed midwife and co-owner of Moonstone Midwives Birth Center, the first and only freestanding licensed birth center locally, Laura Doyle has watched the conversation around Mad River’s labor and delivery services play out from a unique vantage point.

“We’re here, we’re open and we have two birth rooms, and we have the capacity to do so many more births,” Doyle says, with the center’s website boasting that the rooms have “built-in-birth tubs, queen sized beds and private bathrooms,” blending “tranquil and elegant style” with access to midwife services.

The center also offers home birth services, Doyle says, noting it’s been in business about a decade and she’s proud to be operating in Humboldt County, where residents have worked to build community birth models.

“The people who taught us, their fight was getting licensed,” Doyle says, adding that fight was successful, leading the way to licensed midwives and certified nurse

midwives. “Our fight is accessibility — how can we get everyone these services?” Moonstone Midwives does not accept Medi-Cal, Doyle says, saying it “has never been a viable option because reimbursements are so low.” She says the center’s patients pay up front for its services, then those with private insurance get reimbursed after it’s billed. She says she’s fully aware this makes the center’s services inaccessible to many in Humboldt County, where one in five households lives in poverty.

Doyle says she’s been working to try to change that, looking to meet with Partnership, the nonprofit that manages Medi-Cal on the North Coast, to lobby for higher reimbursement rates and speaking with other birth centers in the state to look at ways to make services more affordable and accessible.

Starr at Open Door said in a statement emailed to the Journal that it’s important to remember the announced suspension of Mad River’s labor and delivery services is just the latest domino to fall, though he suspects more are on the way.

“Open Door is now the largest provid-

“Open

er of obstetrics services in Humboldt County,” he says. “This is not a boast; it’s a warning that our healthcare system is failing. … Compounding inadequate reimbursement for healthcare services is a regulatory environment that has become prohibitively expensive. Through the state’s inaction and the health insurance industry’s greed, California’s problem is now a crisis.”

Hackett, Open Door’s pregnancy services medical director, called on local residents concerned about the situation to contact their legislators, urging them to fight for maternity and women’s health care “to prevent this from continuing to happen.”

— Tory Starr, president and CEO, Open Door Community Health Centers

Doyle says Moonstone Midwives has received a flood of interest in the days since Mad River’s announcement.

“We have a ton of consults scheduled this week and next week,” she says. “The

phones have been ringing, for sure.”

But the center is only able to provide care to those who can a ord it, which Doyle says she sees as a deep inequity, reiterating that “accessibility is definitely the fight of our career.” And while that can be said of inequities across the healthcare delivery system, she says it feels especially acute when it comes to childbirth.

“Birth, historically, is a huge part of a community and a society,” she says. “How we treat birth in the community is the foundation of how we treat people.” ●

CCC’s Chili Champs

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

Adrizzly day isn’t great for fair attendance but it does lend itself to sampling steaming cups of chili. Five competing teams that had been cooking under tents by the grandstands ladled out their wares to hardy chili fans who, like the judges gathered behind the Humboldt County Fair o ces (myself among them), tasted, compared and cast their votes.

Crack The Vault

The field was narrower than the expected dozen entries but the winner was determined by a half point in favor of the Native Sons of the Golden West, which swept the competition last year. Hot on their heels was the California Conservation Corps team, which took home second place, the Mayor’s Choice and the coveted People’s Choice awards. The CCC crew was comprised of participants in the culinary program, all between the ages of 18 and 23.

all backgrounds and all over the country, says Saucedo, noting he’s worked with ESL speakers, some without high school diplomas and others in graduate school. Many are firsttime kitchen workers, but experienced or not, “We start from scratch,” he says. That means basics like measuring and getting to know ingredients from vegetables to leavening agents. Eventually, many of those who complete the training go on to work in restaurants or larger-scale kitchens at schools and colleges, hospitals, senior living facilities and other industrial settings.

The CCC is best known for o ering paid training for young people in the areas of forestry and firefighting, along with other outdoor conservation work, but it also trains participants to work in the food industry, from restaurants to industrial kitchens. As part of their training, corpsmembers at the CCC’s Fortuna Center also cook three meals a day, seven days a week, for the 100 or so people living there.

Luke Saucedo, who teaches and supervises the handful of trainees, has CCC in his blood. “My family has been in the Cs for 30-plus years,” he says. With a food service and management background, including working in small restaurants and cooking for thousands a day at Whole Foods and other grocery stores, the culinary program was a natural fit for him. Also, “Most people start at 16 or 17 in the food industry, so it’s not a big shift to work with young people.”

Culinary program trainees come from

Allen Mota, 23, says he became interested when a friend joined the CCC and liked it. “I was working at a deadend job, I was not enjoying my time. … I was tired of the city.” He says he’d been interested in culinary school but couldn’t a ord it or manage the commute. An early “spike,” a trip to a remote worksite that required cooking on site, sealed the deal on pursuing the culinary program for him. “I was making people’s day better making food they liked,” he says. Since then, Mota’s gotten especially into baking, and the crowd in the cafeteria has gotten into the fresh co ee cake he makes for breakfast. “I love people’s feedbacks on my food,” he says.

Saucedo says the program is a large step for some participants.

“They get to live here, they get fed and they get a paycheck,” he says, explaining that not only have some not cooked before, but some haven’t had regular hot meals due to food insecurity. “Here we have three square meals a day” and the menu runs from “hamburgers

and hotdogs to sushi,” he says. Cooking Asian, Mexican, Indian, Italian and other cuisines broadens the cooks’ experience, “so they can get a good grasp of what’s out there,” as well as the palates of the workers eating in the dining facility.

The curry, Saucedo says, “has been a big eye opener for people.”

At the chili cook-off, culinary program members Mota, Esmeralda Meri, Oreos Enriquez, Eden Arnold and Arthur Widner handed out squares of homemade cornbread and stirred the enormous stainless steel pot of beef chili. The recipe, chosen and developed by Enriquez and her father, and tweaked by the CCC team, included guajillo and ancho chiles, Korean red pepper and jalapeños, and was thickened with Fritos and cornbread.

For Enriquez, the cookoff was “nerve-racking,” since, she says, “I had only really made it with my dad to feed five people.” But the trial run at the Fortuna Center provided useful feedback and the team felt good about using straightforward flavors (particularly since last year’s experiment with graham crackers and chocolate didn’t win over the judges). And the team was more than comfortable scaling up the recipe

to feed a crowd, “since they are feeding trailblazers and fire crews and they need a lot of food” every day, she says.

Enriquez, 19, came to the CCC after graduating high school and looking for some experience before heading for college. “I think it’s a pretty great program. It’s definitely more than I expected,” in terms of physical labor, she says, adding that she likes the shifting challenges of feeding everyone at the center with a menu that runs the gamut. Eventually, she says she can see herself working as a chef or a supervisor in an institutional kitchen, maybe something like what Saucedo does.

When the judges’ scores came in and the voting tickets were counted, Saucedo says the team was “in awe” at their wins. Then it was back to the Fortuna Center, where they’d have an early start in the morning making breakfast for 100.

Sasha Lyth’s Placebased Cyanotypes

By Louisa Rogers artbeat@northcoastjournal.com

by

There is a beautiful Welsh word that resonates with me,” says Sasha Lyth, “Hiraeth means a longing or grief for a place, akin to homesickness, perhaps even for a place that was never your home to begin with.” The Humboldt-based mixed media artist says much of her art revolves around the connection to place and “how places hold our hearts and minds.”

ment more.

Lyth is one of four local artists granted the 2023 Victor Thomas Jacoby award for “artistic vision and creativity,” provided annually by the Humboldt Area Foundation and Wild Rivers Community Foundation. Thanks to the $10,000 award, she was able to create art in a place where she experiences hiraeth. Together with her dog Lhotse, a husky wolf, she backpacked 16 miles in July to a remote spot in the Sierra Nevada Range’s Emigrant Wilderness, where she spent 10 days camping. During that period, she created cyanotypes, a camera-less technique that involves laying an object on paper coated with a solution of iron salts before exposing it to sunlight and then washing with water to create white and blue images. Since their discovery in 1842, cyanotypes have been used not only by artists, but also by architects and engineers as a way of reproducing drawings — hence the term “blueprints.” On her trek, Lyth used the process on raw silk.

Lyth grew up in Kneeland, where she spent much of her childhood exploring the 24 acres of her parents’ property while making things: whittling little boats out of kindling, carving walking sticks, collecting clay in the creek to make little figures and writing and illustrating stories.

Her parents were also creatives — her mother, the late Kathe Lyth, founded the Redwood Coast Children’s Chorus, and her father, Kjeld Lyth, was a Shakespearean theater director and actor who ran the theater arts program at College of the Redwoods for 30 years. He was also a painter who passed on his artistic skills to his daughters.

Sasha Lyth teaches art at Arcata’s Redwood Coast Montessori School. During the school year, she does art alongside her students, using her work for demonstrating di erent skills and techniques. By constantly exposing her students to new materials and ideas, she feels inspired in turn to experi-

Her destination in the Emigrant Wilderness was an unspoiled place known to her family for over 40 years. While University of California Berkeley students, her parents bonded over backpacking, considering the spot their backcountry home. In 2022, a year and a half after her mother’s death, Lyth, along with her partner and her sister, made a pilgrimage there with her mother’s ashes. During that trip, she felt a need to create art as part of her grieving and her deep connection to the site.

In 2023 she returned alone, taking some of the works she’d created the year earlier, this time adding gold embellishments. “Applying the gold, a painstaking process, is an act of meditation,” she says. “My long days were filled with making art, as I sat in solitude, with the peace and beauty of that space, the elation of it, and the grief.”

Her retreat was deeply restorative. “It was powerful to disconnect so completely from the noise,” she says. “And being in such a remote location, with a full studio set-up at my fingertips, was surreal.” By then, too, “the scope of Blueprints had grown to reflect my longing to be in this place, to honor its sacredness and to work in collaboration with my environment and with my mom.”

She calls her body of work Blueprints of the Wilderness. Starting in 2019, she had been documenting wilderness locations that remained wild, carrying cyanotype fabric in light-blocking bags, making exposures on location with found materials, and noting the coordinates of the locations. After creating several site-specific prints in the backcountry, she realized that the coordinates were code for her favorite spots. “Backpackers used to know how to read maps and compasses,” she says, “but now All Trails and GPS make these places accessible to anyone.”

She is heartbroken that the wilderness she knew and loved as a child is changing rapidly. Compared to when she was younger, “the wilderness is desecrated, inundated with people who play music and leave trash.”

The concept of Blueprints of the Wilderness is the juxtaposition between the necessity of being in wild places in order to restore our sense of self within nature, while at the same time impacting those very places. After her first solo experience, Lyth dreamed of returning to create art there on

a large scale. Thanks to the award, she was able to purchase the materials and equipment to work there, and to hire “a cowboy and his mule” to carry 100 pounds of art supplies to the site.

The coordination with him was so simple and low-tech it could have taken place 50 years ago. A few phone calls was all it took to seal the deal; he didn’t even know her last name or ask for a deposit. Lyth herself carried 60 lbs of gear for two days to reach the o -trail site.

During her time in the Sierras, she completed several projects besides large-scale cyanotypes: using natural dyeing processes from sustainably collected materials to make large-scale eco prints; creating woven objects from pine needles and willow to add to the dyed fabrics; and using a flower press, which allowed her to use the same plant material repeatedly, rather than collect new material for each cyanotype.

“I took home the re-used plant materials in the flower press to continue making cyanotypes at home, as well as incorporating gold pigment I’m mixing myself from natural mica powder and walnut oil.” For Lyth, adding gold for was a way to emphasize the spiritual power of the mountains, in the same way that gold is infused in religious icon paintings in churches.

Lyth rejects the idea that artists should have an identifiable medium and signature style. An eclectic artist, she is also a live wedding painter and co-leads retreats on painting and Pilates with her sister. “I used to consider myself a painter, but there are times when all I want is to wheel throw, other times when I want to sculpt. Sometimes I just need to make something, and whatever is at hand will do, Basket making is a new intrigue. Tomorrow, who knows?”

Lyth’s Blueprints of the Wilderness will be on view at Creekside Arts (386 Howard Heights Road, Eureka) on Sept. 8, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and she’ll give a talk and workshop on cyanotypes starting at 2 pm. Creekside Arts is a center designed to bring together artistic residencies, workshops and performances. Lyth can be reached at sashalyth.com. ●

L.A. Freeway

By Collin Yeo music@northcoastjournal.com

I’m dropping a Guy Clark song for this week’s title because a) it’s very good and b) it was brought to my attention by a dear friend and one of the brightest stars in our local music scene. Beverly Twist and I have known each other for years now and I’ve written a lot about how much I love her style, especially her work with Canary and the Vamp. That act played its last gig earlier this month at Humbrews, opening (as a trio) for JB Barton and Company, a group that Bev assures me is incredible, but sounds to me like a jake-leg medicine bottle full of cocaine and turpentine. Anyway, I committed two sins there because not only did I miss the show, but I failed to write about it. And now Bev tells me she’s leaving town next month, on a pathway to the Southwest that will hopefully bring personal uplift and the recognition she has always deserved for her musical brilliance. It’s hard to write about a favorite musician leaving the area, and much harder still when they are a friend, someone I hold close to my heart like a winning hand of cards, or the really special shells and beach glass I have found in my beach walks and mudlarking. Here’s to you, dear one, may your travels reap treasures finer than the ones I have held in my memories of all the times we spent together with me rapping, flapping and, most importantly, hearing you play and sing. Please, like the title song sorta goes, get off this L.A. freeway without getting killed or caught, and find some land that you ain’t yet bought.

Thursday

I’m usually happy to endorse readings by local writers, especially in this case, when the writer in question is a former NCJ alum. Jim Hight will be discussing and reading from his debut novel Moon Over Humboldt today at two different venues. At 4 p.m. you can find him at the McKinleyville Library, and at 6:30 p.m. he’ll

be doing his thing at Northtown Books, another local gem I love to endorse. Both events are free.

Friday

Great local sound makers Shiny Eyes will be teaming up with Kit and Mike from a similarly synthy starship called Elegant Humanoid for a dance with the devices under the pale moonlight. Filling out the bill is E. Ray Béchard who you might remember from last Friday’s gig at the Miniplex. This is going to be a good one and free, too. Just get to the Siren’s Song Tavern by 7 p.m. so you don’t miss a beat.

Saturday

The Sanctuary has been the place for well-curated celebrations of some of the true jazz greats of our country. Tonight is one such event, and I suggest you Take the A-Train to J Street by 7 p.m. and pony up the $15-$30 sliding scale door fee to head into a little piece of Birdland. The music of Charlie Parker is going to be on the program, with our ever excellent house band of James Zeller, Ramsey Isaacs, Danny Gaon and Matthew Seno, all joined by viola-ist Tree and tapper Miles Schmidt. This one is gonna be a certified hoot.

Sunday

Another quiet night, which means another recommendation for the music of an artist we lost last year. And tonight is someone who was extremely prolific, both in his own output and as a one-ofa-kind, highly sought after sideman on a number of fine records. David Lindley was his name, and he played on some of my favorite albums from musicians like Leonard Cohen, Warren Zevon and Jackson Browne. I don’t have the space to even begin to crack into his vast discography, so I’ll just say that I’ve been getting a kick lately listening to a live bootleg of the song “Her Mind is Gone” with possibly my favorite guitarist Bill Frisell.

Monday (Labor Day)

Everyone is Dirty is an Oakland collective of musicians who throw a new banana in the juggling act of dance and depression that defines the group’s chosen genre of post-punk. Those hooks and melodic lines are often created by violin, which seems novel enough to me for a gander, but the pot has really been sweetened by the inclusion of Clean Girl and the Dirty Dishes, who happen to be my favorite loud-pop duo. The Miniplex is the spot for this big, beautiful mess. It’s an early one (8 p.m.) because that’s how it goes on Mondays, and the cost is a steal at $10.

Tuesday

Savage Henry Comedy Club has finally come up with something I can heartily endorse: Nationalist-based phrenology aimed at our neighbors to the north. The game is simple, two teams are shown pictures of people, and those teams have to decide Are They Canadian? As half a Canuck myself, who has lived there and who would probably still be living there if

my late-father weren’t so stupid and selfish as to help me get lined up with enough of his Lovecraftian-tideline cousins to get endorsement for citizenship (thus saving you all from having to read my garbage thoughts every week), I am all for this silliness 100 percent. The show’s at 9 p.m., and it’s only $5.

Wednesday

Do you love Beyoncé? Then run, don’t walk to the Miniplex at 8 p.m., where this week’s iteration of Big Mood, the weekly hump day queer-dance-a-thon is celebrating all things regarding the true queen of pop. No cover tonight, and you can catch $2 PBR drafts all night long to refill your juices.

l

Collin Yeo (he/him) would like to applaud the DNC for celebrating joy, especially with its catchy new slogan regarding Palestine, “The Bombings Will Continue as Morale Improves.” He lives in Arcata.

Red Flags and Surprises Strange Darling and Blink Twice

By John J. Bennett screens@northcoastjournal.com

STRANGE DARLING. That a movie like this (not that I can say I’ve ever seen one) should exist, much less be available in theaters in a remote little outpost like ours, speaks to something promising in the business of American movies. Pardon the optimism.

I’ve joined my voice to the chorus of lamentation about the state of cinema more frequently than I care to remember, sure. But lately, in this “post-pandemic,” post-Barbenheimer, post-strike, pre-apocalypse we call reality, I’ve found surprisingly frequent occasion to celebrate what we have and what is upcoming. Inspiration seems to be finding the air and light of commercial support, little movies with big ideas are finding their way to the multiplex, and it almost feels like we might be entering another fertile era for creatives unchained to franchise juggernauts and over-rushed, underthought cash-grabs. But I wouldn’t want to go all Pollyanna, it’s bad for my street cred.

Loath as I am to intone the work on another as a point of entry or comparison, it’s only fair to say I’ve been thinking about Pulp Fiction (1994) lately. We’re approaching the 30th anniversary of its release and the attendant shockwaves it sent through culture at large. Which also means it’s been three decades since I, in adolescence, pressured my family to go see the thing in the theater and changed our lives forever. It’s cliché filmbro nonsense to point to Pulp as a watershed in one’s cinema education. But some things become clichés because they have lasting resonance, and even though I am among a generation of cis white males who were aroused and awakened by Tarantino’s lurid pastiche of reference and humor, I reveled then, as I do now, in the notion that a movie could be a complete and immersive experience of the mind of a creator. Until that point, fascinated as I may have been by the medium, and even in a fumbling way by the process of how movies are made, I saw the finished product as something apart from that process, and edifice of artifice that must have, at some point, been conceived entire and cohesive.

Pulp Fiction, though, was and is a mov-

ie that doesn’t hesitate to show its work: The references demand seeking out, but it’s clear (clearer now) that it is a work of synthesis, of reference, homage and plagiarism rendered as new. The creator’s inimitable method, focus and experience led to a couple of decades of pisspoor imitations, shoot-em-ups with the occasional clever turn of phrase or cheeky, monologue-driven relationship pieces, but none of them, at least to my recollection, ever rose to true originality.

Which is a long walk to get to Strange Darling but there’s a reason. That reason being: this movie is the first one in 30 years that struck me as an heir to the creative impulse of Pulp Fiction that lifts nothing, parrots nothing and certainly does not attempt anything grandiose. It is, rather, a beautiful and inspired trip through a certain cinematic underbelly, a rural, killer-on-the-road thriller that, in its self-awareness and clarity of vision, transcends its reference points and becomes something distinctly and gloriously its own.

To say more than that it is, as the title card informs, a thriller in six chapters (albeit nonlinear ones), would do a true disservice to a simple plot that, through manipulations of our expectations and cinematic points of view, plunges through variations on theme and explorations of deviance with a wanton but carefully planned exuberance.

The second feature from JT Mollner and astoundingly photographed by Giovanni Ribisi — yes, that Giovanni Ribisi — Strange Darling is a serial killer adventure with roots in the past and the suggestion of something exciting in the future. Bloody and beautiful, rough-hewn where appropriate and acted with remarkable alacrity by stars Willa Fitzgerald and Kyle Gallner, it is both an acknowledgement of the inspirations of the past and, for those of a certain stripe, a bold and hopeful look into the future. R. 96M. BROADWAY.

BLINK TWICE has been promoted more heavily, stars Channing Tatum and

is the directorial debut of Zoë Kravitz; it hardly needs my accolades. But, like Strange Darling, it is a deeply rewarding, frequently surprising, delicately paced work that could be ruined by synopsis. Quite directly a treatise on the abuse of power (there’s a trigger warning for content before the opening credits), the fallacy of forgiveness and the “gift” of forgetting, Blink Twice succeeds in being intensely topical but also timeless. A satisfying mélange of horror, comedy and social commentary, it has in it as much Bunuel as Breillat, but is very much its own new creation. There are within it unspeakable acts of violence and subjugation, depictions of grotesque but tantalizing luxury in a world of immeasurable disparity and, of course, men behaving very, very badly. Not everybody gets what they deserve, exactly, but most do. R. 102M. BROADWAY, MILL CREEK. l

Woolly Mammoths: The Lady’s Not for Cloning

By Barry Evans

fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com

WBeth Zaiken’s reconstruction of a woolly mammoth. Courtesy of the artist

hen I asked self-styled “museum artist” Beth Zaiken if I could use her evocative painting of a mammoth for a story, she was quick to point out that the image I attached was not just a mammoth, it was a woolly mammoth. Turns out, mammoths came in many shapes and sizes, with woolly mammoths particularly celebrated over other species because they were the last to go extinct. Indeed, we have over 500 early depictions of woolly mammoths in dozens of caves in Spain, France and Russia, the earliest of which were painted 35,000 years ago. (Anatomically modern humans are thought to have reached Europe nearly 50,000 years ago.)

Cave paintings are just one way we know about these magnificent creatures. They are, in fact, the best studied of all extinct animals because so many frozen carcasses have been found, mostly in Siberia and Alaska. For thousands of years, they co-existed with humans, leading to speculation that our ancestors hunted them to extinction. Best bet is that it was a combination of over-hunting and climate change, the latter greatly reducing its habitat. They nearly made it to the present, though! Although most groups went extinct soon after the end of the most recent ice age, around 11,500 years ago, some isolated populations survived much longer. A herd living on Wrangel Island, the large Russian island northwest of the Bering Strait, probably survived until 4,000 years ago, meaning they were around for a good thousand years after the Nile pyramids were built.

Mammoths are typically shown in movies and cartoons as living in a snowy wasteland, but their actual habitat was “tundra steppe,” similar to today’s Russian steppes. They were herbivores, spending up to an estimated 20 hours a day eating grasses and sedges to support their intake of up to 400 pounds of food a day, putting them in the same dietary class as modern elephants. Their adaptations to the cold included (of course) hairy coats — actually two coats: long “guard hairs” on the outside overlaying a short, softer under-

coat, which in turn covered a 4-inch layer of fat just under the skin. Their short ears and tails helped minimize heat loss and frostbite. They lived to about 60 years old.

Most of the news about mammoths these days discusses the click-bait possibility of resurrecting the species — that is, bringing woolly mammoths back to life using DNA from soft tissue material and hair follicles in their frozen corpses. That became a talking point after the genome was completely mapped about a decade ago, when researchers showed that extinct woolly mammoths and extant African elephants share about 99 percent of their genomes.

One promoter of this idea, aptly named Colossal Biosciences, explains on its website that it plans to: “Use gene editing tools that work like scissors to cut [African] elephant DNA and provide a mammoth sequence to incorporate into elephant cells in the same location.” Reinsert the engineered egg into the uterus of the unwitting mom-to-be and 22 months later, the elephant’s calf is born with woolly mammoth genes. Whether there’s enough usable DNA in long-dead, frozen mammoths is debatable, as is the morality of the venture. Happily (for this writer), several prominent geneticists have come out in opposition to this kind of “if we can do it, we should do it” caprice. If the de-extinction effort is successful, a wildlife reserve in Siberia, given the hopeful name “Pleistocene Park” (shades of Jurassic Park), has been designated as a future home for the de-extincted critters.

One final tidbit: The word “mammoth” probably derives from “mehemot,” Arabic for “Behemoth.” In the biblical Book of Job, the Behemoth was said to be one of the two monsters created by God early in creation, the other being Leviathan, a monster whale. Which is somehow fitting for one of the most majestic creatures to have ever lived.

Welcome to Cruz’n Eureka!

SINCE 1993, Cruz’n Eureka has become an iconic annual event for the car community here on the North Coast. The last 28 shows raised over $200,000 to support local youth, and with local community support, we hope 2023 will be a record year.

In the early ’90s, the vehicle cruise scene had become an issue on 4th and 5th Streets. All three lanes north and south were often full of Gear Head car people. While for all practical purposes, it was a huge social gathering on Friday night, sometimes lasting into the early morning. We suspect Caltrans and the City were forced to do something, so an ordinance was created – “no more legal cruising in Eureka.”

City of Eureka police officer and champion for Boys & Girls Club, Lance Madsen, who has since passed, and a small band of others, started a car show in Henderson Center. The event was to become Cruz’n Eureka and made into a benefit for our local Boys & Girls of the Redwoods.

Joe Porras, Director of Facilities for Redwoods Community College District from 1988 to 2006, Tim Marsh and other car enthusiasts, continued the show in Henderson Center for around 10-12 years. Joe brought Make-A-Wish into the fold of the car show. At the time, the Make-A-Wish representatives came from the Bay Area. Laurie ThietjeFurtado, wife of Mike Standridge, who also helped with the show, became the Make-A-Wish representative for the North Coast.

The car show eventually outgrew Henderson Center and was moved to Halverson Park where the great cruise route through Old Town began and the car show grew to encompass 2nd Street from C Street to G Street. There was a Sock Hop and while it was a lot of fun, there was never enough participation to keep it going.

Unfortunately, Laurie’s health began to decline (the problem with doing too much!). Laurie was aware of Dale Warmuth’s and Sondra Kirkley’s involvement with the Boys & Girls Club of the Redwoods. She asked if Dale and Sondra were interested in taking over the event. Dale, Sondra, Tim O’Brien and his wife Teresa, Jason Henderson (who has since passed) all continued to show their interest in cars and in the welfare of kids of the North Coast.
