ow and then, the Associated Press, which dictates the grammar and style for most American newspapers, sends us updates on its rules and guidelines. Mostly we follow them. AP Style is why we’re stingy with commas, spell “ax” without an e and abbreviate the words street, avenue and boulevard when used with an exact address. It’s a system designed to ensure consistency in the language used in newspaper stories, intended to make it easier for readers, who over time become habituated to seeing information presented in a certain way. It’s also the kind of insider baseball stuff the average reader couldn’t care less about.

But some rules are worth breaking and there comes a point when consistency stands in the way of progress, which is the case with the current guidelines for pronouns.

A couple years ago, AP Style changed its pronoun policy to allow non-binary people to be referred to by the pronouns they and them. But even in carrying out this exception for the non-binary among us, AP warned that “rewording (the sentence to avoid use of a pronoun) usually is possible and is always preferable” and made clear this was to be a limited exception. It still insists upon “him or her,” “she or he” and “his or her” when referring to people in general. For example: “When a customer walks into a restaurant, he or she can order off the menu.” Another: “Every attendee brought his or her dog.”

The problem, obviously, is that not everyone identifies as a he or she, meaning this style is inherently exclusive, intoning, at worst, that those who don’t fit into male or female gender identities aren’t part of the world we report on or, at best, that they are the exception to the rule. Of course, the gender non-binary, gender fluid, genderqueer and people in transition among us are important

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Sept. 12, 2019 • northcoastjournal.com

parts of our community and the stories we write and it’s long past time that our choice of grammatical style reflects that.

So we’ll be going with “they/them” from now on, as in: “When a customer walks into a restaurant, they can order off the menu” or, “Every attendee brought their dog.” It’s how most of us speak in everyday conversation anyway and if it prevents any of our readers or contributors from feeling they’ve been forgotten once again, great.

Language changes with culture. It’s why we (thankfully) write “firefighter” instead of “fireman,” “person with a disability” instead of “cripple,” “Asian” instead of “Oriental” and no longer refer to women as property. To some, it can feel like the erosion of culture when these shifts happen but changes — gradual and sudden — are the life of culture. You know what language doesn’t change? A dead one.

(A quick style side note: We’re still going to refer to business entities as “it” rather than “they” because, as the bumper sticker says, we’ll believe businesses are people when Texas executes one. And those em dashes? If you want us to stop using them, you’ll have to pry them from our cold, broken keyboards.)

At the end of the day, we feel the non-gendered pronouns are more accurate, and accuracy is one of journalism’s most basic principles. It’s a subtle change but one we also hope will make sure everyone in our community feels reflected and valued by their newspaper.

In a similar vein, we’re adding a new element to our taglines, those short paragraphs below a story telling you who wrote it and — if it’s a Journal staffer — how to get in touch with them. For years, those taglines have followed a pretty standard format: “So and So is a X at the Journal.

Reach her at 442-1400, extension xxx, or soandso@northcoastjournal.com. Follow her on twitter @SoAndSo.” From this issue on we’ll be including

pronoun preferences in these brief descriptions. So when you read that Setlist columnist Collin Yeo lives in Arcata, you’ll also read that he prefers he/him pronouns. Or when you’re checking out Art Beat, you can note that not only is Gabrielle Gopinath an art writer, critic and curator, you’ll also see that she prefers she/her pronouns.

Why are we doing this and why does it matter? Well, first and foremost, we want to give readers the information they need to make sure they can communicate with and refer to our staffers and contributors in a way that fits their preferences. We also want to send a very clear message that you don’t have to identity as a man or a woman to work here or write for us, that no matter how you identify, we value you and want you to contribute to what we do.

We also realize that as a newspaper we have a leadership role in this community and a responsibility to set certain standards. We hope that by making these subtle changes we can help to normalize this conversation, to embolden people to ask that they be identified in the ways that feel right and comfortable to them, and to help demand that the greater community respect their choices.

These are very small steps we are taking toward our ultimate goal of publishing a newspaper in which our entire community sees itself reflected, honored and respected. l Jennifer Fumiko Cahill is the Journal’s arts and features editor.

‘A Great Concept But …’

Editor: Read with interest the article “Supes Pass Housing Plan” (Aug. 29).

Several years ago, we tried to go the “tiny house” route for a family member in Brainard, Minnesota, as Brainard had passed zoning changes allowing tiny homes to be built on substandard lots to help with housing issues. The problem was, we couldn’t find a contractor to take on the project as we were told there wasn’t enough money in it for them. Why build a tiny house for around $50,000 when they could build a standard size one for around $250,000 (in Minnesota)?

Tiny houses are a great concept but not sure if it’ll really work unless it’s a “do it yourself” project.

‘Do the Right Thing’ Editor: Our community has lost an important resource and friend. The KHSU we are getting now is not the KHSU we as a community grew, supported and loved for more than 50 years (Mailbox, Aug. 22).

We as a community volunteered countless hours developing and maintaining quality community based radio.

KHSU was a uniquely wonderful hybrid radio station. It was a wonderful mix of locally produced public affairs and music programs with syndicated national and world news and information programing. It was a radio station that provided so much

for us as a community, joining us together and keeping us informed. It was a community radio station built in partnership by HSU and the community. Staff, volunteers and student interns all worked together building a much needed bridge between the university and the community. It was truly part of our community, it was where many of us turned when we needed information or we had information to share. It was where we found out about many local events, fundraisers, needs and gifts. It was a bridge to connect with the place we call home and the people who are our neighbors and friends. It was a radio station we grew together.

Due to short-sighted decisions by a few folks who have since moved on we have lost a wonderful and loved asset to our community. We, as a community, can hope and encourage HSU to do the right thing by working with the community to revitalize and bring back a KHSU that is once again rooted in our shared community.

paper as to have the letter end up saying something completely different than what was intended. Also, I don’t know for sure letter writers are given the chance to name their letters or if that is the papers’ decision.

I say all of this to say in Mr. Parrs’ letter to the editor in the Aug. 29 issue of the NCJ, the heading given to it was “Do These People Not Matter.” A heading that would have a reader presume that the victims of drug war and gang violence in the inner cities were the primary point of his letter. I’m not saying he is not concerned about the victims and what their families must go through, I have no reason to doubt what he says in the last two paragraphs of his letter. But it seems when he states very straightforwardly, “... then, and only then will I listen ...,” that that part of his letter is the part most important, to him.

Gregory Downing, Arcata Editor’s note: It is the Journal’s policy to lightly edit letters to the editor solely for grammar, spelling and clarity. We endeavor never to change the author’s intended meaning, though we do select the headings printed above each letter.

Don’t Displace Us Editor: Really, Lost Coast? You want to be found? “Your city. Your voice. This matters.” That’s on a 5-by-8 card I found in my mailbox addressed to Postal Customer Eureka, CA 95502. The card announces that, “The city of Eureka has partnered with Eddy Alexander, a marketing and growth consulting firm, to develop a strategic community brand and tourism marketing program. Your input will help us understand the community’s shared vision and values.” (‘A Comedy of Errors,’ June 6.)

My input is that we don’t need/want such a program. We can see tourists in Old Town any day. They come because the Lost Coast hasn’t been found yet.

Eureka sells itself on its own. And at a pace that doesn’t displace those of us who live here.

Who is the city of Eureka that wants to become a brand sold by Eddie Alexander?

And what’s this going to cost? Take that money and invest it in what is already going on here: music and dancing at Madaket Plaza, bands playing all over Old Town, the weekly farmers market, movies in the park, city walls and electric boxes serving as canvas for local artists, etc.

‘Impeach This Monster’ Editor: The Mueller report clearly documented at least 10 instances of obstruction of justice by Trump, yet some of his supporters still try to downplay the obvious criminal behavior of this president (Mailbox, Sept. 5). It is amazing how

people still support a president who lies every single time he opens his mouth (more than 13,000, at a recent count). He is a pathological liar, a con man and is only interested in enriching himself. He has a long history of failed business dealings including stiffing workers for pay and five bankruptcies. Besides his racist behavior and attacks on women, how can people who call themselves Christian justify the lack of moral principles he shows every single day?

Our government is operating on a shoestring by wholly unqualified people and scientists are being fired and silenced as we see more environmental destruction being approved for the greedy fossil fuel industry to help themselves. Refugees

are being locked in concentration camps, causing massive trauma and death. This is a dark stain on our country that will forever be a shameful part of our history.

We must impeach this monster moron of a president and move toward restoring our dignity and unity.

‘A Mirror of America’

disappointed to once again see the use of expletives in the NCJ a few weeks back (“Fucking Rich People,” Aug. 29). The review was by Jennifer Fumiko Cahill, a superb writer, but the headline was distracting. Unfortunately, NCJ allows profanity to crop up in articles. I am talking about the “seven dirty words” George Carlin so effectively lampooned in the 1970s. It debases your otherwise high standards for journalism.

First of all, those four-letter-words are offensive. Why alienate people when it isn’t needed? And if you think it makes you sound hip or folksy, then that is just pathetic. But more importantly, using cuss words in writing is just plain lazy. The English language has much beauty and ingenuity. The NCJ has great writers. You can do better.

Keep it clean, please.

Please make your letter no more than 300 words and include your full name, place of residence and phone number (we won’t print your number). Send it to letters@northcoastjournal.com. The deadline to have a letter considered for the upcoming edition is 10 a.m. Monday. l

Editor: It has occurred to me that, love him or loathe him, Trump is a mirror of America (Mailbox, Sept. 5).

Ask any country to describe American tourists and what you hear is not endearing or attractive. Overweight, obnoxious, loud, insulting, bargain-hunting, insolent litterers who asked aloud why the waiters in Germany don’t “talk normal.”

I’m sorry to admit this, but Trump is who we have turned into. It is no surprise to Europe that America has elected, if even losing the popular vote, this lowclass, insecure leader when we have been the most advanced and wealthy country in the world.

Trump, unfortunately, is the 21st century American commercial. He knows little about the cultures of other countries nor does he care. He gets all his information from TV and rarely picks up a book or even knows the name of a good author.

He loves to play the victim, when in actuality he is the leader of a strong American country. He makes himself feel better by putting others down and will lie and scheme to get money, power and, most of all, attention.

Sadly, that is exactly how America and Americans are viewed around the world.

Trump is a huge and annoying embarrassment to the still majority of America but he is uniquely American. If we, as Americans, want to rid ourselves of Trump and the image of America he portrays, then we, as Americans, must change and evolve in some very deep-seated ways.

We are the only ones who can do that.

We alone must be the driving force to be more inclusive of all cultures and to care about the future of this country and this planet. No politician can do that for us.

It’s up to us to become more enlightened, less fearful and more inclusive … and then we will no longer fear having a mirror put up to our country and seeing Trump’s face. Vote smart!

Taiko Swings up to Humboldt

A retro tribute to Japanese American internees

magine a 1940s dance hall full of swing dancers sporting pin curls and pompadours moving to the big band sound of saxophones, trumpets and trombones. Now imagine the precision of traditional Japanese taiko drumming leading the beat and the dance taking place in the mess hall of a World War II Japanese American internment camp.

This is how local visual artist and Team Taiko founder Amy Uyeki describes the planned January 2020 event “Swingposium on the Road.” Team Taiko is the core group members of Taiko Swing Humboldt, the organization hosting the Swingposium in collaboration with the event’s creators the San Jose Taiko. Taiko Swing Humboldt was created solely for this event and is asking the community for support through a Gofundme page.

The Swingposium will be held at the Bayside Community Center and will highlight stories from Japanese American camp

survivors through swing dancing, musical performances and audience participation.

San Jose Taiko Artistic Director Franco Imperial has described the event as “an immersive theatre experience” where the “audience isn’t passively sitting in their seats, they are in the middle of the action and drama and music and dance.” In short, the audience is part of the show. It was created to pay tribute to swing dance, big band music and the experiences of the estimated 120,000 Japanese Americans whose civil rights the U.S. government violated by imprisoning them behind barbed wire and under armed guard during WWII. As the first stop for the Swingposium, Humboldt County will act as a pilot program. This is especially fitting because of a little-known historical fact: Eureka’s Federal Courthouse was where 27 already imprisoned Japanese Americans who refused to serve in the U.S. military during WWII stood trial. They were the only group of

draft resistors in the western states to receive a favorable verdict.

“This event is to raise awareness and let people know how easy it is in times of hysteria — these things can happen unless people are involved,” Uyeki says. “We have to draw attention to the parallels and to not let this become the norm, or see people as other.”

Uyeki never learned of the camps in school, though both her parents were interned in them. She says this event can be educational and keep the stories of Asian American experiences alive. Uyeki’s interest in this time of history was rekindled when her daughter interviewed her parents about their experiences in the camps for a high school project. After seeing old photographs and albums, Uyeki started to reach out to musicians who were forced into camps as teenagers. She then partnered with KEET TV in 2012 to make a historical animation called Searchlight Serenade: Big Bands in the WWII Japanese American Incarceration Camps, about musicians who played big band music to preserve some normalcy, humanity and joy in the camps.

“I noticed they were ‘American’ dressed but Japanese,” Uyeki says of the old photographs. “Many of them seemed so American but they were all in concentration camps.” (It’s worth noting that while we commonly associate the term with Nazi death camps, a prison in which people are held without trial and on the basis of their ethnic or religious minority status precisely fits Merriam-Webster’s and the historical definition of a concentration camp.)

Part of the educational outreach aspect of the Swingposium will be a performance at Humboldt State University, as well as two performances at Eureka High School that will be followed by a 30-minute facilitated discussion. The HSU Jazz Orchestra will perform as the big band with San Jose Taiko providing the script and drumming for all the events.

“This event is teaching history by using art, music and local swing dancers,” Team Taiko member Vicki Ozaki says. “It’s really important we don’t repeat history, especially with what’s happening with immigration now.”

Ozaki says there are three other events coordinated by Taiko Swing Humboldt leading into the Swingposium. The Olli Brown Bag Noon Lecture on Oct. 14 will be hosted by Jack Bareilles and Mitch Higa, who will discuss Humboldt County history during WWII and resistance by Japanese Americans at the Crystal City Detention Center in Texas. The Rockin’ Ramen fundraiser at the Bayside Community Center

on Oct. 18 will feature chef Johnny Hoda preparing a special ramen dinner against a backdrop of Japanese street music. The last event will be a pop-up museum at the HSU library from Jan. 22 through Feb. 3 displaying WWII internment camp artifacts from Humboldt residents.

Ozaki says while there isn’t a lot of diversity in Humboldt County, organizing the Swingposium events is bringing together the local Japanese American community and the larger Asian American community, which is one of the goals.

Team Taiko member and coordinator for the Rockin’ Ramen event Marylyn Paik-Nicely agrees with Ozaki, saying the point is to think beyond the Swingposium and keep building a community of all Asian cultural groups.

“We hope for this to be a lifelong education after it’s done,” Paik-Nicely says.

What else stands out for Paik-Nicely is the healing aspect project. Growing up in Hawaii, Paik-Nicely had relatives who were sent to camps across the lower 48 — one cousin was even born inside a camp.

She says it breaks her heart to see the similarities with the current immigration detention centers and what happened to her family. For her, the Swingposium raises a valuable discussion on the past and present. “This is a part of our life story, even for those without family members sent out, it’s our community,” Paik-Nicely says.

It is because of this community that Uyeki continues to participate in projects that share at large the experiences of Japanese Americans forced into camps. She has worked as the “in-between generation point of contact” for younger Japanese Americans connecting with elders to help preserve their stories. For Uyeki, the Swingposium is not only bringing to life what it was like to live in the camps but also bringing out the positive elements of community resilience with music, dancing and audience engagement.

“In taiko, the beat draws you in,” Uyeki says. “By showing joyful aspects of your culture, art and music, we can bond and appreciate each other.”

F

ortuna City Councilmember Dean Glaser wanted to be very clear that he didn’t intend to sit passively by and watch the Arcatafication of his city.

“There’s two people in the audience.

There’s 14,000 people in this city,” Glaser declared at the council’s Aug. 18 meeting.

“Where is the support for this monumental idea to put something in our city that makes a statement, just as the statement of any single liberal city, whether it be in California or the other 50 states, that expresses pacifism, liberalism, the conquest of the ideals that a community or a city has? I consider Fortuna to be a very conservative city. … I don’t think something like this should be on any city property. I don’t need to be driving down Main Street

and seeing it in front of the Monday Club.

It’s going to tick me off. I don’t like this kind of political statement.”

So just what was the focus of Glaser’s ire — in his words, the physical political expression of “pacifism” and “liberalism” that was going to conquer the very ideals of the Friendly City? A 6-foot-tall pole that the fledgling Fortuna Chamber Art and Culture Committee had proposed to put in front of the Monday Club. The offending message? The words “Believe there is good in the world,” scrawled in purple paint, amid flowers, bees, butterflies and assortment of affirmations, like “Be Kind” and “Be Happy.”

Glaser’s staunch opposition to the placement of the pole on city property — which the committee hopes will be just

the first of many such art poles placed throughout the Friendly City — seemed to surprise those in attendance.

“It just says, ‘Believe there is good in the world,’ and I don’t really see how that’s, like, too liberal or too crazy or too out there,” said Art and Culture Committee Chair Jennifer Brown, who later returned to the podium to clarify that the pole says “good” not “god,” just in case there had been any confusion. There hadn’t been.

But much to Glaser’s dismay, the balance of the council saw the proposal much differently.

“I’m not offended by it whatsoever,” said Councilmember Jeremy Stanfield. “’Believe there is good in the world’ should be a message everyone should embrace.

There’s nothing political about it.”

The council voted 4-1, with Glaser dissenting, to accept the committee’s donation of the pole and approve its placement in front of the Monday Club, where it was officially unveiled with a ribbon cutting Sept. 9. It will soon be joined by others.

Renee Lindsay, president and CEO of the Fortuna Chamber of Commerce, said two anonymous Fortuna residents have already pledged $1,000 each in matching funds for additional installations. The hope, Lindsay said, is that local artists will come forward to design vinyl wraps for the poles — which are made of 5-inchsquare PVC piping. (The first installation, she said, was purchased online.)

At the council meeting, committee member Dianna Rios explained that inspiration from the project came not from Arcata but from Fortuna’s scrappy neighbor to the north, Eureka. Rios said the committee was impressed by Eureka’s recent public art efforts — from the plethora of new murals around town to the utility box project that has transformed the dull, street-side boxes into vibrant, whimsical works of art.

“We don’t have utility boxes so we had to think outside the box, no pun intended, and things we can do in Fortuna,” Lindsay said.

Rios told the council the committee also didn’t want to “steal” Eureka’s ideas, explaining that the committee then looked for other options and settled on the Peace Poles. She later clarified that Peace Pole is trademarked and the committee had purchased a knockoff — or a Peace Pole-inspired alternative — so they would call them “artists poles.”

The idea eventually blossomed into the Peace Pole Project, which is promoted by the World Peace Prayer Society and sells the poles for $100 apiece online.

Lindsay said she’s excited to see artists poles pop up throughout Eureka, noting there are already several on private property.

“There’s such a great talent pool of artists in this area and I think we’ll have some really beautiful pieces in the short run,” Lindsay said. “It’s not real intrusive.

WEEK IN WEED

Vaper Beware

It’s time to put down that vape pen. Seriously.

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

S

hortly before the Journal went to press Sept. 10, news broke that the nation had recorded its sixth death from a mysterious outbreak of lung disease related to vaping or e-cigarette use that has resulted in at least 450 cases spread across 33 states. The rash of illnesses and hospitalizations have vexed health officials and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control have now launched a fullscale investigation.

Those who have fallen ill have reported using either e-cigarettes, cannabis vaping cartridges or both in the weeks or days prior to the onset of symptoms, spurring increasing doubt that the practice of inhaling steam loaded with compounds and chemicals should be considered a “healthier” alternative to smoking.

The California Department of Public Health is investigating approximately 60 cases of acute lung disease related to vaping, saying most involve patients who had recently vaped cannabis products.

Some of those products were purchased on the illicit market, according to the department, and it remains unclear if any of the illnesses have been linked to licensed products purchased from a licensed dispensary.

It’s also still unclear what’s causing the lung illness but its sudden onset and symptoms — coughing, fatigue and shortness of breath — has investigators focusing on possible contaminants. The New York Department of Health reported last week that most of the illicit THC cartridges tested as a part of its investigation came back positive for vitamin E acetate, a compound frequently used in skin creams and supplements that they believe some companies are using as a cutting agent for THC oil. As a part of its investigation, the department has now subpoenaed records from three companies identified as selling “thickening agents” to unlicensed vaping product companies. One of those companies — Honey Cut, which sells Honey Cut Diluting Agent — is based in Santa Monica and reportedly pulled its website offline after news of the subpoenas broke.

Following up on New York’s lead, the FDA tested product samples collected from ill patients throughout the United

States and confirmed the presence of vitamin E in many, but the agency has also said it’s too early in its investigation to determine whether the substance is responsible for the outbreak of lung illness.

“No one substance, including vitamin E acetate, has been identified in all of the samples tested,” an FDA spokesperson told Rolling Stone. “Importantly, identifying any compounds that are present in the samples will be one piece of the puzzle but will not necessarily answer questions about causality.”

Using products to dilute or cut cannabis extracts is widespread and, according to the Rolling Stone article, vitamin E became popular in some circles because it is thicker than other agents, making the cannabis extracts more viscous, a trait some consumers erroneously link to potency.

But when heated and ingested, vitamin E can cause fat particles to be lodged in the lungs, a condition known as lipoid pneumonitis, which causes chest pain, difficult breathing and coughing. Vitamin E acetate suppliers, according to Rolling Stone, warn users to keep the substance away from heat sources and not to ingest it or breath its gas, fumes or vapor.

Vitamin E acetate is not one of the litany of substances the state of California requires cannabis products to be tested for so there’s no assurance cannabis cartridges sold in licensed dispensaries are safe.

A pair of pulmonologists consulted by the Journal said it’s likely going to be some time before health officials identify a definitive cause of the spate of lung illnesses and a means to root it out of the supply chain. At this point, they said there is simply a definitive link between vaping either nicotine or THC and the illness.

The only safe option, they said, is to stop vaping until more is known.

“Avoid them — no vaping,” one of the doctors, who was not authorized by his hospital to speak to the media, urged.

“Honestly, just go with edibles.” l Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor. He prefers he/him pronouns and can be reached at 442-1400, extension 321, or thad@northcoastjournal.com. Follow him on Twitter @thadeusgreenson. northcoastjournal.com • Thursday, Sept. 12, 2019 • NORTH COAST JOURNAL

CH’s food program works under the premise that food is a basic human right and has piloted programs like Little Blue Pantry and Food Not Lawns to try to make food more available to everyone. CH’s food program is also designed to help residents take back skills needed to build responsible resilience, like growing their own food, which helped inspire the edible garden tour.

Tamara McFarland, a CH founder who focuses mostly on its food programs, said the nonprofit wanted to show off incredible edible gardens to inspire others to build and grow their own food-producing gardens. McFarland’s garden was also featured on the tour.

“The tours will serve to inspire and educate everyone on how they can grow their own food,” McFarland said. “We believe that teaching a much broader spectrum of our community this important skill is critical to our community’s ability to navigate impending climate catastrophes.”

The tour featured different kinds of edible gardens, from small residential lots to acres of farmland. Matt Drummond, whose garden was the only one on the tour that was located on rented property, started his garden a couple years ago with

s you walk into Karen Shepherd and Bradley Thompson’s backyard in Arcata, you are met with a beautifully diverse food forest with an array of vegetables, flowers and fruits, from asparagus and pears to onions and cabbage. Shepherd and Thompson began working on their food forest after they moved into their house 19 years ago. Like most homeowners, their backyard was just a lawn but, with much determination and hard work, they transformed it into a sustainable, food-producing garden and, in some ways, an ecosystem.

“When we first moved in here, we had a lawn but we wanted to be experimental.

The grass kind of gave us a fresh start, a blank slate to begin our garden,” Shepherd said. “It’s become less of a garden and more of a habitat, with all the animals, bugs and even the weeds that grow.”

Shepherd and Thompson’s yard was one of eight edible gardens within Eureka and Arcata that participated in Cooperation Humboldt’s first Edible Garden Tour on Sept. 8, which the group hopes will become an annual event. Cooperation Humboldt is a nonprofit that looks to create a solidarity economy with a few different areas of focus: food production and distribution, eco-

TABLE TALK

More Than Imitation Mocktails that shine on their own

By Jennifer Savage

uch inspires us to drink. We lift a glass in celebration or raise one in sympathy. We drink to ease social interactions, to find some liquid courage. We debrief at happy hour, bond at the bar and get giddy at brunch. To meet for a drink is how we do. For those of us whose minds go and go and go and go, a drink serves as a fast, effective way to shut off the worries, frustrations and endless counting of to-dos. No wonder people have been imbibing, according to NatGeo, for at least 9,000 years.

But — to chuck the obvious out there — booze comes with some downsides.

Consistent drinking can do all kinds of damage to the body and mind. Traveling from Point A to Point B in Humboldt typically requires a car, so if Point A is where you’ve been drinking and Point B is home, a lot of risk lies in between.

So what’s a fun-loving person to do? Is it possible to foster the intimacy of being in a bar in a healthier way? To stay sober without feeling deprived or dull? Can we find excitement in a cocktail glass if alcohol isn’t among its ingredients? In short, yes. The “sober-curious” trend has been around for a couple years, typically driven by people who don’t identify as alcoholics — props to those fighting the hard fight of recovery — and in July I noticed a couple Facebook posts by local bar owners promoting their new “mocktail” menus.

For those of you rocking Sober September, planning for Sober October or simply interested in healthier choices occasionally or always, this is great news.

Sure, most bartenders will happily make you a non-alcoholic drink if you ask but having an actual menu with zero-proof drinks and descriptions eases and helps normalize ordering them. Unfortunately, finding local places with standing mocktail menus isn’t easy. I used Google, Facebook and Yelp to few results. The good news is, the places that are doing it are doing it right.

FRONT ROW

The (French) Women’s Revolution

A herstorical perspective at Redwood Curtain Theatre

By Pat Bitton

frontrow@northcoastjournal.com

T

he Revolutionists takes a fresh look at the French Revolution through the experiences of four women, three real and one composite. Two are familiar: Queen Marie Antoinette (Kaitlyn Samuel Rosin) and Charlotte Corday (Holly Portman).

But chances are you’ve never heard of playwright Olympe de Gouges (Alexandra Blouin) or activist Marianne Angelle (Lakia Solomon), who was constructed from multiple fragmented sources because no complete records of black women activists from the colonies could be found.

Set in Paris in 1793, The Revolutionists revisits familiar territory for playwright Lauren Gunderson, whose Emilie: La Marquise du Châtelet Defends Her Life Tonight focused on a French woman whose important discoveries were overshadowed by her relationship with a famous man.

At the center of this story is Olympe de Gouges, who has tasked herself with writing a play that delivers the voice of the French Revolution. Her Haitian activist friend Marianne Angelle is in desperate need of tracts, pamphlets — anything to help promote her cause — after all, it was more than a little ironic that the French were fighting for their freedom while continuing to run slave colonies. So, she tells de Gouges to forget playwriting; if she really wants to make history, she should write a manifesto, not a monologue.

They’re still in heated discussion when in bursts Charlotte Corday. She, too, needs a writer but her need is for a few succinct yet significant last words she can use as she stands at the guillotine after stabbing Marat in his bathtub. History, of course, writes off Corday as a madwoman

while revering Marat as a patriot. And if all that were not challenging enough for an already-blocked writer, the door is again flung open, this time by the besieged Queen Marie Antoinette, who’s looking for someone to rewrite her life as a more sympathetic character (but still royal — ribbons and sparkles are important).

What happens to the characters in the rest of the play is largely historically predictable but Gunderson’s zinging dialogue — miniature guillotines marketed for wives to make salad and kids to kill mice, Corday on a deadline (no pun intended) and the only one with enough cuteness to get away with murder, Marie Antoinette describing sailing ship replicas in her hair and giving birth in front of hundreds of people — breathes new life into a familiar storyline. And I bet you didn’t know de Gouges wrote a feminist manifesto in the style of the Declaration of Independence and presented it to the National Assembly.

(They booed her out of the building.)

As a #metoo moment for the 18th century, The Revolutionists’ heart is in the right place but Gunderson gets a little heavy-handed when it comes to making political and sociological points, most of which fall on Angelle, as the designated activist, to deliver. It is clearly not coincidental that her composite identity is named for the symbol of the French Republic.

Still, Solomon infuses the polemics with a healthy dose of human emotion, saving Marianne from the extremes of social-justice-warrior-itis and keeping the audience rooting for her as she anguishes over her missing husband. At the other end of the societal spectrum, Rosin has a ball with the supremely self-absorbed Marie Antoinette,

yet still arouses sympathy when she talks about how she’s misrepresented in the court of public opinion. Portman is magnetic as Corday, teetering on the edge of craziness but always pulling herself back just in time to remind us that she is “killing one man to save 100,000.” And Blouin puts in a masterful performance as de Gouges, treading a fine line between vulnerability and ambition, courage and self-flagellation, never missing a beat, Clockwise: Holly Portman, Lakia Solomon, Alexandra even when a door handle on Blouin and Kaitlyn Samuel Rosin in The Revolutionists. the set came off in her hand.

N

aming your baby can be a daunting task. After all, it’s literally how they’ll introduce themselves to the world in person and on résumés. You need something you can coo to an infant, shriek at a teenager and whisper softly as you massage your temple when their offspring are careening around your home during the holidays screaming at full volume because evidently there are no rules at their house.

But the days of cribbing names off relatives, repurposing a last name or blending your partner’s name with yours are gone.

No, you need to brainstorm something entirely new that speaks to your unique child and the life they’ll carve for themselves in the world. Something with flair that’s not disconcertingly ethnic.

Immigrants have been modifying their names since they started streaming through Ellis Island, while those dispossessed of their homelands and cultures have been creating their own names since, well, America’s founding fathers started dispossessing them. But for some of us, this is all new territory that is somehow also shrinking underfoot as our peers scramble to snag all the good names.

And once you come up with one, you have to worry about your cousin snaking it because she’s due a month earlier. No need to induce labor ahead of schedule — there is an untapped motherlode of names to hoard. Honestly, you might need to think about more children.

Don’t be afraid to take some risks with your progeny’s name. After all, there’s a 30 percent chance your kid will either rename themselves the summer before high school starts or start DJ-ing and abandon the name for a jumble of numbers and letters that loosely resembles a brand of cereal anyway. Let these suggestions inspire you!

Asia, India and Paris are not the only locations that lend themselves to girls’ names. What about Bolivia, Latvia or Tazmania? If you say it over and over again, Micronesia sounds both exotic and

tech-related. You always liked Montana?

Minneota is right there. Dakota may already belong to starlets but North Dakota and South Dakota are free! Let’s not forget all the places that can be abbreviated to Stan, like Kurdistan and Turkestan. The West Coast alone holds some manly options like the hip Portland, the noble Oxnard and the Casanova-smooth Fresno.

Parents have been coming up with edgy nature names since Heathcliff, but just because Rock and Sierra are already out there doesn’t mean you can’t still make a land grab. How about Chasm for a boy and Echo for his twin sister? Hunter is already popular but the gentler Gatherer has yet to break through. Slough, Basin, Isthmus and Fjord have their rugged charms, as do the formidable Glacier and Tundra, but think hard before you go with Butte.

Were you hoping for a Bible name? Sorry, they’re all taken. Even the obscure ones.

Used to be your kid would be the only Shiloh or Keziah in school, but no more.

Expect your child to swap lunches with little Nebuchadnezzar in a few years. But if you’re set on a religious name, look into heretical texts and alternative spellings that include punctuation.

Naming your baby is also a great way to remind people you read. But you want to let them know you’ve read since high school, so learn from the Willis family and skip Scout. And stay away from any characters still in play — no spoilers, but parents of all those little Daenerys girls are in a bind. Where can you turn for something with cultural caché that isn’t problematic?

Dead female authors who aren’t Ayn Rand are a good place to start as they’re unlikely to have married anyone underage or to have biographers digging around in their histories for unpleasant facts. Take Ursula Le Guin, who made up names all over the

place, like Ayeth and Heleth. Are those characters you’d want your child saddled with forever? I don’t know, there are a lot of those Earthsea books and they’re hundreds of pages each. I’ll be frank, this category seems like a lot of work. Maybe go with music and name the kid Bowie.

Everybody likes Bowie.

What about plucking a name from stuff that’s already been named, like paint colors or fonts? The latter has some excellent offerings: Bookman, Garamond and the spunky Socket for boys, and Lucida, Verdana and Trebuchet for girls. There’s even the less gender-bound Futura, Tahoma and Courier. Throw in Sans and you’ve even got a middle name.

Keep an open mind with this last group and consider that cheese is largely uncharted territory beyond, say, Brie. Forget, for a moment, the waxy rinds and ripe smells and imagine your tall, handsome son Stilton, Roquefort or Emmentaler walking at graduation. Or your daughter Chevre, Raclette or Fontina crossing a tennis court to shake her opponent’s hand in victory. It will all be thanks to you, really, to the distinctive name you gave them to carry as they stride through the world, heroes in their own tales, carrying the banner of the proud moniker you chose.

Lend A Hand If You Can

By Collin Yeo

music@northcoastjournal.com

I

t’s been an active week for a news junkie like myself. Johnathan Franzen took a backheel approach to climate change in the pages of the New Yorker and, in doing so, cemented for all time the terminal uselessness of the establishment liberal position on nearly any topic. A brave banjo-wielding man busted the crap out of the charging bull statue on Wall Street, exposing its hollow core — an act millions of us could peacefully replicate on any given day in the streets of this country to pop the thin balloon-skin of the death cult of capitalism. Our president redrew the lines of a hurricane to justify the stupid eruptions of his stupid brain, as his administration hastily redrew the rules to deny sanctuary for Bahamian climate refugees fleeing Hurricane Dorian. Make no mistake, this is evil fascist bullshit but with the added patina of an emperor without clothes. The people running this country are actively lying to you to prop up a demented White Power King. I’m not a fan of bullshit, so forgive me if I say it like it is: This really sucks and many people will die because of this racist cruelty.

Meanwhile, we have ourselves, each other and our community. We have art and music. Don’t you ever let even a bit of that go. Cede no ground because even the little things matter more than the stars these days.

Have a great week.

Thursday

Albanie Falletta is a New Orleans-based guitarist who plays the kind of jazz that New Orleans was famous for before the mid-century brought big electric amps and keyboards. It’s a backroom mix of Django Reinhardt and Jelly Roll Morton, with a Dixie street swing cool enough to keep your hat cocked and your hips loose. Tonight she brings her very talented band to the Sanctuary for an evening of pre-plastic music at 8 p.m. ($10-$25 sliding scale).

Friday I’m a sucker for a local music showcase and the Miniplex has been making some nice waves with that very format in the last year or so. Full disclosure: I sometimes

work sound or the door for bands here, but I do not allow that fact to interrupt my commitment to professionalism. Sure, I like the place but I only mention shows in this column I think are especially worth going to. I might be living the career-less bullshit reality of the gig economy but I’m no sell-out. And tonight’s no-cover lineup seems like a must because I actually haven’t heard any of these bands live yet. So if you want to be like me and discover the sounds behind the names Funeral Cops, Firstwife and Tonalites, be sure to show up no later than 10 p.m.

Saturday The Westhaven Center for the Arts’ musician in residence is the uncommonly talented Rosalind Parducci, a guitarist/ fiddler whose Gillian Welch obsession has led her to record a cover from Ms. Welch’s songbook that I consider to be superior to the original. Rosalind will be showcasing her new developing sounds today from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the aforementioned sylvan home of art. Also on display will be the visual artwork of Justine Bartow-Funk.

Donations appreciated.

The Little Red Lion has a wicked one on tap tonight. The always amazing Blackplate is joined by the pure Eureka punk-poetics of The Bored Again, as well as Former Chimps. This is going to be a fun show and if I can secure a designated driver, I will likely attend, for abstemious as I may be, the environs demand a bit of a suckle of booze for this writer at least. 9 p.m. ($3).

Sunday The brothers Pacheco are back in town with their “psychedelic Cumbia punk” sound rolling out of the tight machine of their band Tropa Magica. You can catch the magic tonight at the Arcata Playhouse at 8 p.m. with local Latinx surf warriors Los Dune Bums. This show is free to Humboldt State University students and a mere $10 for the rest of us listless squids.

Monday

Daniel Rodriguez is the ace in the pocket, back-up player for Colorado’s jam-folk scene band Elephant Revival, sadly now on hiatus. Tonight he’s bringing his considerable solo-songwriting abilities to Humbrews.

Melodious guitar lines await those who enter the club tonight at 9:30 p.m. ($15, $12 advance).

Tuesday The Minor Theatre is celebrating the third anniversary of its re-opening after a big-time remake/remodel with three nights of free mystery films in its main screening room. Tonight’s film is a “date night” flick, with promises of a “star-studded cast and timeless romance.” Based on that description, I can only draw the conclusion that the movie being shown tonight is the 1986 cartoon masterpiece The Transformers: The Movie, a film that contained the last performances of mega-stars Orson Welles and Scatman Crothers, and which cemented my lifelong — and timeless — romance with alien robots. At 6 p.m., open seating.

Everything is better with a mimosa!

Wednesday

Oakland duo Silence in the Snow is a synth-y guitar and drum sound machine that creates music which sounds like dance remixes of early ’80s tracks from the 4AD record label. Tonight at 8 p.m. they appear at the Siren’s Song for a show with local goth vinyl pusher DJ DastBunny (price TBA). l Full show listings in the Journal’s Music and More grid, the Calendar and online.

Bands and promoters, send your gig info, preferably with a high-res photo or two, to music@northcoastjournal.com.

So Humboldt

Make a Jah-ful Noise

It’s naturalist/explorer/philosopher and Humboldt’s namesake Alexander von Humboldt’s 250th birthday on Sept. 14. Celebrate the man who said, “All living systems are interconnected and mutually dependent,” as well as the people in our area who work to preserve those systems at Planet Humboldt: A Summit of Inspiration for Community and a Vital Earth on Saturday, Sept. 14 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Sequoia Conference Center (free).

Sustainability. Conservation. Holism. There was no one more Humboldt than von Humboldt. From Planet Humboldt’s website: “[Alexander von Humboldt] was the first person to describe the phenomenon and cause of human-induced climate change, in 1800 and again in 1831, based on observations generated during his travels.”

The summit features a Resiliency Fair where Northcoast Environmental Center, Humboldt State University Campus Center for Appropriate Technology, Redwood Coast Energy Authority, Friends of the Eel River, 350 Humboldt and others will be sharing skills and resources for community sustainability. At the same time, there’s an Ideas Summit with local, national and international expert speakers and presenters, including Oliver Lubrich of Berlin — the foremost authority on Humboldt’s influence on literature. Both events are from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and both are free. At 7:30 p.m., the Fire of Life Awards Reception honors five Humboldt County citizens whose lifetime of work for community and conservation embodies the spirit of Alexander von Humboldt ($35 includes dinner, entertainment).

Spend the day learning more about the man whose ideas and ideology are needed more than ever. Be inspired, network, organize and go forth.

Summer’s still got a week left and that means outdoor music season has time for one more music festival. The Funk ‘n’ Reggae Music Festival, a venture put on by Forever Found Productions, is drawing some pretty big names to Perigot Park this Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 14-15. Steel (drum) yourself for headliners Michael Franti and Spearhead, who will take the stage on Saturday, and legendary Jamaican reggae singer Don Carlos (of Black Uhuru), who’ll share his wealth of experience on Sunday night. Organizers have lined up a multitude of support from local roots rockers, funksters and DJs, too.

The family-friendly event includes arts and crafts, food vendors and beverage booths, an educational and fun Kids Zone featuring a 360-degree Projection Dome and Planetarium Show, face painting, bubble making, kids programming during the day, a DJ dance party and special appearances from Sesame Street characters.

Saturday’s lineup showcases the talents of Michael Franti and Spearhead, Object Heavy, Guerrilla Takeover, The Higher Logic Project, Mystical Lion w/ Ju Drum, The Stallions, Morgan D’Vinity and EyereEyes. Don’t miss the Opening Ceremony at 10:45 a.m. with a traditional Native American dance by the Kibby Family.

On Sunday, catch the irie expressions of Don Carlos, B’Swizlos Mystery Lounge, Arkaingele with Seed n Soil, The Stallions, Ishi Dube, Dub Fyah and DJ Rundat.

Get a weekend pass for the whole shindig for $100 or single-day tickets run $65 for Saturday and $50 for Sunday. Kids 12 and under are free with a ticket-holding adult. Tickets will be available at the gate and online at Brown Paper Tickets.

The Sucker’s Club It Chapter Two sinks

By Linda Stansberry

filmland@northcoastjournal.com

Review

IT CHAPTER TWO. When I realized I would have to wait two years between It and It Chapter Two, I was disappointed. The first movie, released in 2017, was tone-perfect in how it portrayed the first half of Stephen King’s lengthy novel about childhood friends battling a supernatural clown for the soul of their small Maine village, even if it took some liberties with the book’s plot. I wondered if waiting until 2019 to reunite with the Losers Club would dilute some of my enthusiasm. It did not but I now realize that the disappointment I felt at the wait was instructive in preparing for this dismal sequel.

If you’re a reader of King’s, you know that the most horrifying parts of his work often aren’t the haunted cell phones or homicidal cars, but the human cruelty that pads the pages between rattles, groans and screams. In this vein, the movie starts with a daisy chain of trauma: a hate crime, domestic violence and suicide that, while all true to the book, do little to move the plot forward, leave the perpetrators unpunished and the victims underdeveloped.

King seems to enjoy drawing contrasts between the ugliest impulses of human nature and real monsters, but, in the hands of director Andrew Muschietti and screenwriter Gary Dauberman, these scenes are just the opening blows in the long beating of a horse that’s dead within a half hour of the opening credits.

Don’t blame the actors. Although none of the ensemble cast was given quite enough to work with in terms of dialogue, they did a great job of seeming like true friends from the time they’re reunited over (spoiler) a plate of possessed fortune cookies. Bev (Jessica Chastain), Bill (James McAvoy) and Ben (Jay Ryan) make a believable love triangle, although the chemistry is due almost entirely to Chastain’s trademark smolder. One wishes she were given more to do in this movie than sit at a low burn and scream believably, but the source material didn’t provide much opportunity for that. (Stephen King’s writing of female characters has always been unsatisfying to

me.) Mike (Isaiah Mustafa) is almost given too much to do, as narrator, demi-protagonist and Keeper of the Mythos, and he executes everything so well it’s doubly frustrating that he was sidelined as protagonist in favor of Achingly Average White Guy McAvoy. That said, in every ensemble cast someone invariably wrecks the curve and in this case it was Bill Hader, playing Richie “Trashmouth” Tozier. Hader is in his element playing a wisecracking coward with a secret in his past. (A secret that was one of Dauberman’s liberties that worked.)

James Ransome, playing Eddie Kaspbrak, was a little one-note but he made a great foil to Hader. And the alien-faced Swede Bill Skarsgård made a welcome return as Pennywise. He could have let the fiendish makeup and costuming do the heavy lifting for him, but it’s truly Skarsgård’s voice, undulating between a trill and a croak, that terrifies.

Three hours should have been the right amount of time for this movie, which requires exploration of characters’ backstories, their evolving relationship dynamics and the mythos and undoing of Pennywise, but it drags. The mythos is handled quickly using a Magical Native American subplot that should make us all uneasy.

The backstories (handled in flashbacks with the welcome return of several of the child actors from the first movie) are great — easily the best part of the film. It is, ironically, the jump scares that make this movie feel so long and awful. Dauberman is a veteran of the modern horror canon, having directed two recent movies about a haunted doll and another about an evil immortal nun. It Chapter Two seems to have borrowed scary tropes from every horror film made in the last 20 years (as well as some mythos from Harry Potter, of all places) and it piles jump scare upon jump scare so relentlessly they become numbing. Many of the scares are gross instead of startling. By the film’s third act, I’d stopped murmuring, “Don’t go in there” and begun saying, “Oh for heaven’s sake, just hurry up and get in the sewer already

bservant walkers strolling down Ninth Street in Eureka between A and L streets may have wondered about the occasional incongruent circular metal discs anchored into the south sidewalk bearing the words “CALIFORNIA DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS,” “HUM-101” and the date 1971. Incongruent because Ninth is outside Caltrans jurisdiction. In fact, the discs are centerline markers of what would have been the realignment of U.S. Highway 101, taking off from what is now Bayshore Mall, staying south of Fourth and Fifth streets, and rejoining the present-day highway west of the Eureka Slough bridge. Had the plan gone ahead, drivers would be zipping through Eureka at 65 mph in the same way they now bypass downtown Arcata.

Rather than dwell on the what-ifs of Eureka’s recent history, I’d like to discuss the discs themselves. Despite nearly 50 years of assault from the elements and being stepped on, they’re as legible as ever.

That’s because they’re made of bronze.

Not so long ago, metal survey markers were usually cast from brass, an alloy of copper and zinc. Invented around 500 B.C., brass is found ubiquitously in decorative and/or precision applications such as doorknobs and locks, watch gears, plumbing valves and musical instruments. When polished, it can look nearly as bright as gold.

The problem — especially with outdoor applications — is that the zinc in brass is subject to dezincification, that is, corrosion.

Bronze, on the other hand, is much more corrosion resistant. The main constituent is copper, combined with various additives: tin (typically 12 percent, good for ship propellers and rudders, also for the finest bells and cymbals), phosphorous (guitar and piano strings), silicon (3 percent silicon bronze is probably what the markers on Ninth Street consist of) and many more, including manganese and aluminum. Such

were its revolutionary properties when it was invented, around 3,500 B.C. in the Middle East, that an entire age is named for it. When the supply of bronze failed, probably because of disruptions to the tin trade routes, the Bronze Age Collapse of around 1,200 B.C. signaled a five-century-long dark age (“The Bronze Age,” Oct. 5 and 12, 2017).

Another useful property: As tin bronze cools, just before setting, it expands slightly, filling in the finest details of the mold. That makes it the usual choice for cast metal sculptures and historical plaques, where exact reproduction of the template is essential.

While researching this column, I stumbled upon a lovely piece of trivia — incongruous, even. Some years ago, Olympic Games’ winners were surveyed to see how they felt about their medals. The gold champions were — of course — pretty darn happy. But surprisingly (until you think about it), the silver medallists were significantly unhappier than the bronze winners.

Why? Because they missed out on the gold. Meanwhile, the bronze athletes were just happy to have won any medal, instead of getting no medal for a fourth-place win.

Dontcha love human nature?

Oh yes, those “gold” medals? Since 1920 they’ve been gilded or gold-plated silver.

That makes them worth about $600 today for the gold and silver they contain, versus about $300 for a (nearly) solid silver medal and maybe $4 for a bronze. But that’s not counting the value of subsequent endorsements, which, of course, is where the big bucks are to be found. So much for the good old days, back in ancient Greece, when those nude Greek dudes (gymnos = naked) competed every four years for crowns of laurel leaves. ● Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo. com) gives thanks every time he survives crossing Fourth or Fifth streets on foot.

OBITUARIES

LEGAL NOTICES NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE TS # 19-2640 COMPLIANCE WITH CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 2923.3 WAS NOT REQUIRED BECAUSE THE LOAN WAS SECURED BY VACANT LAND. YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED: 03/14/2017. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER.

Robert Earl Parks Surrounded by family, Robert Earl Parks, a dentist in Fortuna for forty years, died in his home in Fortuna on August 30 after losing his battle with cancer. He was 74 years old.

Rob, who was born in Chicago, came to California with his family when he was around eight years old. He grew up in Berkeley where he attended St. Mary’s High School. He was a good student and excelled in sports as well. He was captain of the football team. The family has a newspaper article in which his high school coach refers to him as “the team’s leading pass receiver and one of the strongest blockers.” He also played baseball at St. Mary’s. After graduating from high school he turned down a full football scholarship at the University of Santa Clara and instead attended American College in Sacramento for two years so he could be closer to his girlfriend, Sue Copeland. He then transferred to UC Berkeley.

After graduating from UC Berkeley he went to dental school at the University of California at San Francisco. After graduating in 1970 he served in the army as a Captain and was posted at Fort Knox in Kentucky. Rob opposed the Vietnam War and after twenty months of active duty he applied for conscientious objector status, which he was granted. He returned to the Bay Area in 1972 where he practiced dentistry for three years before coming to Fortuna. At what was officially known as Robert Parks DDS General Dentistry, he provided warm and professional care for over forty years to several generations of Fortuna residents. Possessed of fine motor dexterity he could give painless injections, a skill his patients appreciated.

Rob married Sue Copeland, his high school sweetheart,after graduating from college and they had two sons, Toby and Tyler. They lived a happy and fulfilling life in Fortuna. Sue died of cancer in 2008. Three years later Rob married Zhao Ellis whose husband had died of cancer in 2008. They shared the sadness of losing a spouse and helped each other go through a process of healing. They also shared a love of travel, gardening, and meetings with friends.

Rob believed in helping others. He coached little league baseball for many years. Those who were on his teams still mention the strong and positive influence that he had on their young lives. He loved Mexico and for many years assisted Project Amigo, a program in a village called Cofradía de Suchitlán in Colima, Mexico. Project Amigo, founded by Ted Rose and Susan Hill, close friends of Rob’s, helps disadvantaged children by providing education and material support. Rob sponsored students who could not afford to go to school and also spent time in Cofradia providing free dental treatment.

Rob was a member of the group that in 1987 took a bus, known as “Big Yellow,” from Arcata to Camoapa, Nicaragua to deliver medical and charitable donations.

Rob was also on the board of the Northcoast Preparatory Academy and he and Zhao are contributors to the Betty Chinn Homeless Foundation. Rob’s contribution to the Northcoast Regional Land Trust included a Conservation Easement for a wooded parcel he owned with his neighbors.

Rob was a spiritual person. He was raised and educated as a Catholic but explored readings of other spiritual leaders, especially Buddhist teachings about mindfulness. He was also influenced by the Indian Philosopher Sri Aurobindo. Rob believed one could live better by listening to those who are wise. Friends and family with him during his last days are aware that these spiritual leaders enabled Rob to accept his own mortality; and they helped him prepare those who loved him for his own death. Zhao and Rob enjoyed many deep and open discussions about the meaning of life and these discussions have helped her, she has told friends, to accept his death.

Rob also had a deep appreciation for beauty. He loved the beauty of the nasturtiums, the rhodies, and azaleas in his yard. Beauty, he wrote in a poem, “is a treasure we all would have but like a shy bird it must be approached with a calm and open heart—for its heart is also calm and open. Beauty is a mystery—a wonderful, joyful mystery.”

Rob is survived by his wife, Zhao, and also by two sisters, Marilee Reynolds and Juanita Vivrette; and by his son Toby and Toby’s wife Jenny and their children, Sierra and Hannah and by his son Tyler and Tyler’s wife Paula and their son Oliver.

In lieu of flowers contributions in Rob’s name can be made to The Betty Chinn Homeless Foundation, 133 Seventh Street, Eureka, CA 95501; or to Hospice of Humboldt, 3327 Timber Fall Court, Eureka, CA 95503.

ASTROLOGY

CARTOONS

Free Will Astrology Week of Sept. 12, 2019

By Rob Brezsny

Homework: “We have been raised to fear the yes within ourselves, our deepest cravings,” wrote Audre Lourde. True for you? FreeWillAstrology.com.

freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): Hi, I’m your sales representative for UnTherapy, a free program designed to provide healing strategies for people who are trying too hard. Forgive me for being blunt, but I think you could benefit from our services. I don’t have space here to reveal all the secrets of UnTherapy, but here’s an essential hint: Every now and then the smartest way to outwit a problem is to stop worrying, leave it alone and allow it to solve itself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): People in Northeast India weave long, strong suspension bridges out of the living roots of fig trees. The structures can measure up to 150 feet and bear the weight of hundreds of people. In accordance with astrological omens, let’s make these marvels your metaphors of power for the coming weeks. To stimulate your meditations, ask yourself the following questions. 1. How can you harness nature to help you to get where you need to go? 2. How might you transform instinctual energy so that it better serves your practical needs? 3. How could you channel wildness so that it becomes eminently useful to you?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you climb to the top of Mt. Everest, you’re standing on land that was once on the floor of a shallow tropical sea. Four-hundred-million-year-old fossils of marine life still abide there in the rock. Over the course of eons, through the magic of plate tectonics, that low flat land got folded and pushed upwards more than five miles. I suspect you Geminis will have the power to accomplish a less spectacular but still amazing transformation during the next ten months. To get started, identify what you would like that transformation to be.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In 1996, when Gary Kasparov was rated the world’s best chess player, he engaged in a series of matches with a chess-playing computer named Deep Blue. Early on in the first game, Deep Blue tried a move that confused Kasparov. Rattled, he began to wonder if the machine was smarter than him. Ultimately, his play suffered and he lost the game. Later it was revealed that Deep Blue’s puzzling move was the result of a bug in its code. I’ll encourage you to cultivate a benevolent bug in your own code during the coming weeks, Cancerian. I bet it will be the key to you scoring a tricky victory.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): American hero Harriet Tubman escaped slavery as a young woman. She ran away from the wealthy “master” who claimed to “own” her, and reached sanctuary.

But rather than simply enjoy her freedom, she dedicated herself to liberating other slaves. Nineteen times she returned to enemy territory and risked her life, ultimately leading 300 people out of hellish captivity. Later she served as a scout, spy, and nurse in the Union Army during the Civil War, where her actions saved another 700 people. In 1874, the U.S. Congress considered but then ultimately rejected a bill to pay her $2,000 for her numerous courageous acts. Don’t you dare be like Congress in the coming weeks, Leo. It’s crucial that you give tangible acknowledgment and practical rewards to those who have helped, guided and supported you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Novelist Wallace Stegner wrote, “Some are born in their place, some find it, some realize after long searching that the place they left is the one they have been searching for.” I hope that in the last nine months, Virgo, you have resolved which of those three options is true for you. I also trust that you have been taking the necessary actions to claim and own that special place — to acknowledge it and treasure it as the power spot where you feel most at home in the world. If you have not yet fully finished what I’m describing here, do it now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Earth’s species are going extinct at a rate unmatched since the dinosaurs died out 65 million

40

years ago. Among the creatures on the verge of being lost forever are birds like the cryptic treehunter and spix’s macaw, as well as the northern white rhino and the vaquita, a type of porpoise. So why don’t we clone the last few individuals of those beleaguered species? Here are the answers. 1. Cloned animals typically aren’t healthy. 2. A species needs a sizable population to retain genetic diversity; a few individuals aren’t sufficient. 3. Humans have decimated the homes of the threatened species, making it hard for them to thrive.

Conclusion: Cloning is an inadequate stopgap action. Is there a better way to address the problem? Yes: by preserving the habitats of wild creatures. Inspired by this principle, Libra, I ask you to avoid trying halfway fixes for the dilemmas in your personal sphere. Summon full measures that can really work.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Though patched together and incomplete, the 2,200-year-old marble sculpture known as the Winged Victory of Samothrace is prominently displayed at Paris’s Louvre Museum. It’s a glorious depiction of Nike, the winged goddess of victory, and is regarded as one of ancient Greece’s great masterpieces. For hundreds of years it was missing. Then in 1863, an archaeologist discovered it, although it was broken into more than a hundred pieces. Eventually, it was rebuilt and much of its beauty was resurrected. I see the coming weeks as a time when you, too, could recover the fragments of an old treasure and begin reassembling it to make a pretty good restoration.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “I’ve learned that I must find positive outlets for anger or it will destroy me,” said actor Sidney Poitier. That can be a dynamic meditation for you during the next three weeks. I think you will derive substantial power from putting it into action. If you’re ingenious and diligent about finding those positive outlets, your anger will generate constructive and transformative results.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In 1905, at the age of 30, Lucy Maud Montgomery wrote the novel Anne of Green Gables. It was a tale about an orphan girl growing up on Prince Edward Island. She sent the manuscript to several publishers, all of whom rejected it. Discouraged, she put it away in a hatbox and stored it in a closet. But two years later, her ambitions reignited when she re-read the story. Again she mailed it to prospective publishers, and this time one liked it enough to turn it into a book. It soon became a bestseller. Since then it has sold over 50 million copies and been translated into 36 languages. I figure you Capricorns are at a point in your own unfolding that’s equivalent to where Anne was shortly before she rediscovered the manuscript she’d put away in the hatbox.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The Toxorhynchites are species of large mosquitoes that don’t buzz around our heads while we’re trying to sleep and will never bite our skin or suck our blood. In fact, they’re our benefactors. Their larvae feast on the larvae of the mosquitoes that are bothersome to us. In accordance with astrological omens, I propose that you be alert for a metaphorically comparable influence in your own life: a helper or ally that might be in disguise or may just superficially seem to be like an adversary.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Audre Lord identified herself as a black writer, lesbian, librarian, mother, feminist, civil rights activist and many other descriptors. But as ardent as she was in working for the political causes she was passionate about, she didn’t want to be pigeonholed in a single identity. One of her central teachings was to celebrate all the different parts of herself. “Only by learning to live in harmony with your contradictions can you keep it all afloat,” she testified. These approaches should be especially fun and extra meaningful for you in the coming weeks, Pisces. I encourage you to throw a big Unity Party for all the different people you are. ●

Welcome to NCJ Burger Week!

2019

Join us in this week-long celebration of the glorious creation known as “the hamburger.” This year, 30 restaurants are participating in the revelry, using everything from duck and lamb to beets and quinoa to offer up mind boggling creations. And the bacon. So much beloved bacon.

Thirty burgers in nine days. Can you try them all?

We think you can. Godspeed.

NCJ Burger Week Pro Tips The deals are dine-in only.

No take-out. Sorry. You need to get out of the house and eat in a restaurant like a person anyway.

Sometimes restaurants run out of burgers.

Good news: #NCJBurgerWeek will be even meatier than last year’s inaugural event! That also means more fellow diners showing up and, because kitchens aren’t staffed with genies and supplies are not infinite, a given restaurant could run out of its #NCJBurgerWeek burger toward the end of a shift. If that happens, know that we feel your pain and it’s going to be OK. There’s always tomorrow, when you can come back and order the burger we all want you to have. Don’t let your hangry self get the better of you and remember that making and serving burgers is a noble calling. Be kind to those doing this important work.

Yes, you may have to wait.

As mentioned above, folks are excited for #NCJBurgerWeek. Word about last year has spread and your favorite participating spot may go from sleepy to packed. Don’t be surprised if you have to wait a little. Treat yourself to a beverage. Revel in the anticipation. And when your burger shows up in all its juicy glory, post about it on social media using #NCJBurgerWeek and you could win a prize.

Not tipping makes you that customer. Don’t be that customer.

We all get caught up in the excitement of a deal, but don’t lose your manners. Remember the folks cooking and serving are handling more orders and delivering a gourmet burger at a low price during the frenzy that is #NCJBurgerWeek. Tip at least 20 per cent and walk out with your head held high, making your parents and the NCJ team proud. Your patty purveyors will remember it when you come back.

You should get some fries and a drink, too.

You’re not required to buy anything else but can you really say you’ve had the full experience without some kind of fried side and a beverage? This is the perfect time to try out the fries, onion rings and other goodies our restaurant pals are dishing out while showing a little love to local businesses.

Is there craft beer on the menu? Milkshakes? Go big or go home, burger fans.

You can keep up with the madness on Facebook and Instagram. #NCJBurgerWeek is on Facebook and Instagram. Follow us and get up-to-date info on everything #NCJBurgerWeek while you peruse the foodporn. And don’t be shy — share your own burger photos using #NCJBurgerWeek and you might win something cool.

Welcome to Eureka Fashion Week!

Eureka, and all of Humboldt County, is a unique place when it comes to fashion. We don’t necessarily follow national trends, preferring to tailor clothing to our own lifestyle and personality.

Fortunately, an array of locallyowned and operated stores cater to the diverse tastes of our community. Eureka Fashion Week is designed to celebrate that diversity and introduce the many shopping options available in Eureka.

Five years ago, when I bought a women’s clothing boutique, there were already several other clothing stores in Eureka. The options have nearly tripled since then, with more than 20 businesses selling new and used clothing, shoes and accessories. Today there are more places to shop for clothing and meet your fashion needs in the Old Town and downtown area than there are in the mall.

Shopping at our small businesses does more than satisfy your inner style demons, too. Local businesses employ local residents, pay city
