EDITORIAL

Such a Shame

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

I

t’s a such a shame,” is a phrase we hear a lot when a restaurant shuts down. Since the shelter-in-place order came down in March, it’s been on constant loop as dining rooms and storefronts have gone dark around us. Owners and staff who have managed to hang on — careening from complete closure to takeout only, to outdoor dining, to indoor dining, then back again to outdoor and takeout — have described the experience again and again as “a rollercoaster.”

In the beginning, there were rallying cries to buy branded T-shirts and gift certificates to be redeemed “when this is all over,” then we learned to tip for takeout to support our favorite establishments and their workers. Many who have the means to do so, and who feel comfortable enough with varying increases in risk, have made their way to dining at picnic tables, in wedding tents and, lately, in half-empty dining rooms. But in the long run — and health experts tell us this will be long — it will not be enough. To save our bars and restaurants, we need to think bigger and take real responsibility for slowing the spread of the virus.

Along with Payroll Protection loans and, in some cases, drastic pay cuts for owners, takeout and various dining configurations have made it possible for some restaurants to scrape by. But with the exception of a handful of businesses whose models hold up to shelter in place — some trucks and grab-and-go operations have cautiously said they are actually turning profits — most are operating on a knife’s edge.

Even in areas safe from encroaching

fires last week, the smoke made newly built parking lot patios and parklets useless (along with the extra insurance restaurants paid to use them), demonstrating how easily a shift in conditions leads to losses. The rain we’re now all praying for will likely wipe out outdoor dining as well. If it does come, there’ll be few precious weekends left before heat lamps and lap blankets won’t be enough to attract diners.

Indoor dining, too, is precarious.

Monday’s new COVID-19 case tally of 26, which came with one more death and one more hospitalization, puts us on pace to land in the red “substantial” risk zone in the coming weeks. If that happens, indoor dining will be restricted further, leaving many food businesses with a takeout-only model that doesn’t meet the overhead of rent, payroll and inventory, not to mention the countless other expenses that come with running a restaurant.

Even now, safely in the “moderate” orange zone, some restaurant and bar owners and workers (many of whom have inadequate health insurance) are forced to pencil out their own health risks versus economic survival. Others are squeezed enough to consider bending or breaking the rules set down by health officials to keep the public safe and hopefully get us to a place where those very restrictions can be loosened.

Even in this zone, we are losing restaurants, bars and other food businesses. And with them, along with a business sector already battered by a faltering economy, go hubs of community connection.

When we lose restaurants and bars, we lose the corner tables over which nervous people propose. We lose the career wait

staff sprinting between tables to greet regulars. We lose being regulars. We lose the birthday dinners and the commiseration drinks. We lose everyone cramming around one end of the table while the server takes one more photo. These are the places where our economy, culture and daily lives intersect, and when they are gone it will be more than a shame, it will hurt.

Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Great Plates program, which set restaurants up to make meals to be delivered to homebound seniors during shelter in place, showed some promise. However, as Eureka Mayor Susan Seaman told the Journal in an email, its “bureaucratic red tape” proved impractical for the city. Yet it opens the imagination to possibilities for real government intervention and support beyond what we can do by ordering takeout fried chicken or tacos once a week — the kind of small business aid we should be demanding from our representatives.

Whether or not our government intercedes meaningfully on behalf of the hospitality sector, which employs nearly 5,000 people in Humboldt County, there

are greater sacrifices than eating takeout that we all need to make, starting with wearing a mask and staying home as much as possible. Want your favorite spot to be here in six months? Slowing the spread of COVID-19 is the only way we keep from shuttering indoor and outdoor dining entirely. We’re a small county on the margin, so it only takes a handful of cases — seven new cases over the span of a week, which your dinner party could potentially rack up — to push us over the edge, potentially taking that neighborhood restaurant with us.

Every time we bring households together or attend gatherings, we risk a jump in positive COVID-19 cases and, in turn, the closure of places we’d miss when their owners can no longer afford or justify the strain to keep them going.

That would be a shame. And it would be ours. ●

such as by taking hydroxychloroquine.

In reality, President Trump has made poor medical decisions for the American people. His prescription to withhold vital information and mislead the public about COVID-19 while simultaneously delaying any action has led to many preventable deaths.

If Trump were actually our doctor, his decisions would constitute malpractice that could lead to the revocation of his license. But he’s not our doctor, he’s our president, so let’s vote him out. We’ve had enough of Dr. Trump!

Sherman Schapiro, Eureka

Editor: In the winter of 1860, dozens of wounded and frightened Indians made their way to the ranch of William and Ann West on Elk River. These people were survivors of the series of massacres that included the one on Indian Island. The Wests turned their ranch into a hospital and sanctuary, caring for the massacre victims and protecting them from further attack. Ann West was seven months pregnant, but in a dire time of great need, she and her husband did everything they could to help.

For decades thereafter people abided in Humboldt County who would not have been alive had it not been for the Wests.

One-hundred-and-sixty years later, faced with another catastrophic event, Dr. Teresa Frankovich has unselfishly and unfailingly led another effort to protect and care for another group of endangered people — the citizens of Humboldt County — who have encountered the greatest threat that they have ever faced (“We Thank You, Doctor,” Sept. 10). And again, for many years into the future, we will see people, perhaps family and friends, who would not be there had it not been for Dr. Frankovich. We all owe her a great debt of thanks, and some of us owe her more than that — our lives.

Jerry Rohde, Eureka

Editor: I wonder if the importance of complying with government-issued, virus-combating measures is lost when they’re described as “guidelines?” (“Transition,” Sept. 10.)

For example, “guideline” is compared to “legal requirement” in Tempe, Arizona’s Community Development website. If their definition of “guideline” is what we’re working with for anti-virus measures, it’s not surprising we see people not following inconvenient but lifesaving “guidelines.” Our governmental leaders are dealing with life and death — isn’t it possible to get that message across when deciding whether and how to enforce protective measures?

Rage

Not a ‘Provable Case’

Editor: Journalist Bob Woodward has written a new book titled Rage based on personal interviews with President Trump. According to CNN, the book reveals that Trump knew in early February how deadly and contagious the novel coronavirus was. But Trump publicly downplayed the danger, privately admitting he did this to avoid panic; so when the first U.S. cases did occur, he compared them to seasonal flu and said the virus would “just disappear.”

Trump’s actions ignored the severity of the situation. He delayed recommending economic shutdowns that could hinder the virus’ spread; and once some states did close, it wasn’t long before he began pushing governors to declare their economies open again.

When masks were recommended to help control the virus, Trump belittled them, refusing to wear one himself. However, in mid-July he did appear masked in public declaring that doing so was “patriotic,” although afterward he continued panning their use.

Trump has even falsely suggested that there were already ways to fight the virus

Editor: Recent content in the North Coast Journal highlights a challenge people face in evaluating the criminal justice process and specifically the DA’s Office: lack of access to all relevant information.

From the Aug. 27 NCJ article (“What Happened on Howard Street”) about the July 4 Howard Street incident, people may perceive racial injustice. However, race had no role in our evaluation; the case included conflicting testimony from a victim and a credible neutral observer and all the information we had didn’t make a provable case.

In the same article, people may perceive disrespect to someone who did not receive immediate notification about our decision concerning a case they were involved in. However, the victim’s legal guardian was notified within five days. We strive to be faster than that, but the 9,000 cases we receive annually for review and the 5,000 we prosecute make that a challenge. Our outreach on the Howard Street case included a July 17 letter to the victim inviting communication with us. Our decision relied on all available information:

A Pandemic Winter COVID has limited homeless shelter capacity, a concern as inclement weather approaches

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

T

he United States’ 3.8 million square miles are split into 3,141 counties. Humboldt is one of just 43 identified by an investigative journalism project as having a homeless population most vulnerable to COVID-19.

The Howard Center for Investigative Journalism spent months this year creating an index based on an analysis of homelessness and poverty rates, shelter beds and physicians in counties throughout the country. Humboldt County — one of just 10 rural counties of the 43 identified — received a homeless vulnerability index of 4, the highest possible.

Given the metrics, it’s not surprising the project would determine the local homeless population to be vulnerable, as Humboldt has a high poverty rate (20 percent) and one of the highest per capita homeless populations in the country, according to the biennial point in time counts, as well as documented shortages of physicians and shelter beds. But the designation seems to underscore the challenges for Public Health officials, outreach workers and volunteers looking to protect local homeless people from COVID-19 as winter looms on the horizon.

“We were talking about what to do with winter coming, which it is. It always does in Humboldt County — it gets wet and cold,” said Eureka Rescue Mission Executive Director Brian Hall of a recent Zoom meeting with local service providers.

The biennial point in time count found last year that more than 1,400 people in Humboldt County had experienced unsheltered homelessness on the night of Jan. 22, which would put Humboldt

8

County’s per capita homeless rate at about three times the state average.

The fear among providers is that the number of unsheltered homeless people in town far outpaces available shelter space, which is being further limited by protocols designed to slow the spread of COVID-19.

Back in April, the state launched Project Roomkey, which used Federal Emergency Management Agency funds to rent hotel rooms for homeless people who are over the age of 65, have underlying health conditions or are otherwise medically compromised and thus more likely to suffer critical outcomes from COVID-19.

Locally, Public Health has used Project Roomkey to temporarily house more than 150 people for a combined 8,000 bed nights and counting, according to Joint Information Center spokesperson Christine Messinger. The county has also provided more than 300 nights of temporary shelter at the Humboldt Inn to homeless people needing to isolate or quarantine because they had COVID, were awaiting test results or were exposed. The city of Arcata sanctioned camping in several parking lots around town, too, which Messinger said accommodated about 95 people for a combined 3,500 nights before shutting down earlier this month.

But if past years are an indication, coming cold and wet weather will spur people out in the elements to look for shelter, and it seems there will be few options.

“We have not identified a way to provide winter shelter to many while still respecting the governor’s request to move from congregate sheltering to individual sheltering,” Arcata House Partnership

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Sept. 17, 2020 • northcoastjournal.com

Executive Director Darlene Spoor said in an email, explaining that the nonprofit has already changed procedures to put people in single-occupancy rooms, decreasing capacity. “Arcata House Partnership will not be offering a winter shelter the same way we did in the past. We continue to look for protocols to keep people safe during COVID and have reached out to other counties for their best practices.”

Hall said the mission currently has nearly 70 people in its men’s shelter, with 28 more in its women and children’s facility.

To comply with COVID-19 protocols, he said staff took apart all of its bunk beds and spread them out in the dormitories, placing them 6 feet apart and staggering them “head to feet.” It’s also requiring daily temperature checks and masks. But he said the facility is keeping its population stagnant, meaning folks staying there are free to go out in the community to work during the day but the facility is only accepting referrals who have tested negative for COVID, not walk-ins.

“It’s really just been a regimen,” Hall said. “It’s really burdensome, to be honest with you.”

In past years, when the weather has turned bitter, the mission has tried to accommodate whoever comes looking for

shelter, spreading them across the cafeteria floor or — if need be — working with the city of Eureka to open up St. Vincent de Paul’s dining facility for more overflow capacity. But COVID-19 protocols seem unlikely to allow that.

Last month, local philanthropist Betty Chinn opened her latest venture — a women and children’s shelter across from her day center on Seventh Street in Eureka, with a capacity of about 20 people.

Lost Coast Outpost reported earlier this month that the city is also looking at using funds from Project Homekey (a second phase of the state’s Roomkey) to convert the Pine Motel on Broadway into a transitional housing facility that could accommodate 15 people and would be managed

by Chinn, but the city won’t know until next month if its grant application is accepted.

Kathryn O’Maley, a supervising public health nurse who’s overseeing Project Roomkey for the county’s Office of Emergency Services, said the topic of finding additional sheltering options for Humboldt County’s homeless residents has come up at weekly planning meetings.

“It’s something we’re looking at strongly,” she said, adding that staff is currently looking for state guidance on

ard Center report, and had sheltered 2,780 people as of early last month. The city plans to keep the facility open through the end of the year.

The good news locally, according to Hall, is Humboldt County’s homeless population hasn’t seen an outbreak of COVID cases. According to a report by the Howard Center, research has shown higher rates of COVID-19 in sheltered homeless populations than those who remain unsheltered, which would make sense given what we know about how the virus spreads through the air, putting those in congregate living settings at greater risk.

Providers and outreach workers say a large percentage of the county’s homeless population is currently camping outdoors but they worry freezing temperatures and driving rain will change that. Hall said he hopes preparations are made in time.

But if they’re not, he said he can’t imagine turning anyone away when the frosts and rains come.

“We’re just going to accommodate them,” Hall said. “I’m not going to turn someone away in the pouring rain or cold because of a fear of the COVID virus. I’m just not.” l

how a congregate shelter setting might be done safely in a way that meets COVID protocols.

Some cities — including Las Vegas, San Diego and Santa Barbara — have turned convention centers or high school gyms into emergency shelters large enough to allow for physical distancing protocols.

San Diego opened its convention center as an emergency shelter, testing site and meal distribution hub at a cost of about $2.8 million a month, according to a How-

This is Climate Change

By Dianne Feinstein views@northcoastjournal.com

C

alifornia is no stranger to wildfires. Hundreds have died over the years, tens of thousands of structures have burned and entire communities have been devastated. This year, like the devastating fire years we had in 2017 and 2018, looks to be historically bad.

Dozens of wildfires are burning today, including two of the biggest in California history. So far this year, 7,606 wildfires have burned across the state, engulfing more than 2.2 million acres, a new state record. Eight people have tragically lost their lives and more than 3,300 structures have been destroyed. Hundreds of fires were sparked over a three-day period last month because of nearly 11,000 lightning strikes. And there are still four months left in the traditional fire season. I say traditional because year after year we’re seeing the season start earlier and go later than ever before.

The 2018 Camp Fire was the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California history. It killed 85 people, destroyed nearly 14,000 homes and burned more than 150,000 acres in and around the town of Paradise. Some estimates claim it spread as fast as 80 acres per minute. Even after it was extinguished, seeing the devastation was heartbreaking.

In fact, nine of California’s 20 most destructive wildfires have occurred in just the last five years. In 2018, 1.8 million acres burned in California, a record we have already surpassed this year.

We know that climate change is driving this increase in fires. It’s contributing to conditions that can result in more dry lightning strikes like those we saw this month. It’s causing changes in precipitation patterns that leave our forests more susceptible to massive, dangerous fires. It’s causing more unpredictable wind events that take down power lines and spark blazes. And it’s making all fires bigger, hotter and more dangerous.

Just last month, Death Valley hit 134.1 degrees, the hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth. Climate change is undeniably driving these changes, and things will only get worse until we get climate change under control. The 2018 National Climate Assessment found the number of acres burned in the western United States over the past 30 years is double what would have burned if the climate wasn’t changing.

Clearly we have to change how we prepare our forests and communities to prevent fires from growing out of control.

Doing nothing will cost more lives, destroy more homes and upend more communities.

That’s why Sen. Steve Daines, a Montana Republican, and I introduced the Emergency Wildfire and Public Safety Act. Our goal was to write a bill that would help protect communities from catastrophic wildfires. We aim to do this by implementing critical wildfire mitigation projects, sustaining healthier forests that are more resilient to climate change and providing important energy and retrofitting assistance to businesses and homes so they’re better equipped to survive wildfires and power shutoffs.

One way we can mitigate future fires is by removing dead trees and thinning overgrown forests.

Historic drought and the devastating bark beetle have left nearly 150 million dead trees in California’s forests that provide fuel for fires to quickly grow into the giant infernos we’ve witnessed in recent years.

One major stumbling block to clearing

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Sept. 17, 2020 • northcoastjournal.com

these dead trees and low-value undergrowth has been the lack of a commercial biomass market. Dead trees cannot be used for lumber and have little use beyond being burned for biomass. But, without a viable market, their removal is costly and unattractive to private business.

Currently, that represents a significant, and costly, burden on state and local governments to get rid of these dangerous tress. That’s why our bill helps foster the growth of a market and lifts an export ban on this timber if no domestic market can be found. Removing millions of dead and low-value trees will slow the spread of wildfires and give firefighters more time to contain and extinguish fires before they can grow out of control.

We can also slow the spread of fire by increasing the size of firebreaks and gaps in vegetation between forests and homes so our communities are protected.

Our bill facilitates the use of those firebreaks and helps homeowners retrofit with fire-resistant materials to lessen the chances of whole neighborhoods being destroyed by an approaching fire, as we saw in Paradise.

Additionally, by increasing the use of controlled burns, we could remove undergrowth to make our forests more resilient to catastrophic fires. Prescribed burns recreate the natural phenomenon of undergrowth removal that occurred for millennia, preventing forests from becoming overgrown and more susceptible to unstoppable fires. Our bill creates a training center for firefighters on best practices for controlled burns so they can implement them in our forests.

By limiting the size and spread of future fires, prescribed burns not only keep our communities safer, but they also prevent ancient old-growth trees like our precious redwoods from burning as well.

We need to do more to prepare homes, businesses and emergency services for future fires.

Our bill specifically helps critical sites like hospitals and police stations become more energy efficient and better adapted to function during power shutoffs. It also promotes research for new methods of distributed electricity like microgrids that minimize the need for widespread power shutoffs, which may become more common as climate changes increases the frequency of dangerous hot and windy conditions.

Climate change will amplify the hazards of wildfires for years to come. But, the measures in this bill will help us change how we confront those hazards.

We saw exactly how bad things can get when firefighting strategies remain stagnant. Earlier this year in Australia, horrifying fires burned 46 million acres, a tragedy almost beyond understanding.

The only way to stop the growth and damage of fires here at home is to prepare our forests and communities to meet the new challenges posed by wildfires. Our current fire situation is a glimpse into our future if we don’t mobilize and meet the moment ●.

arlier this week, under a Sept. 9 sky tinted orange from nearby fires in front of the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office, a crowd of demonstrators gathered to bring awareness to the disproportionate number of missing and murdered Native people in Humboldt County and the greater Emerald Triangle. The gathering was organized by Jesse Armstrong, a missing and murdered Indigenous women (MMIW) activist, who said the protest sought to give voice to the families of the missing and murdered and compel local law enforcement to do more in the search for justice.

Nearly 150 demonstrators held up portraits of missing and murdered Indigenous people such as Virgil Bussell Jr., Nick Vigil, Khadijah Britton, Jules Tripp and many others. Several protesters held signs with portraits of Tawny James, the 32-year-old Humboldt County woman of Yurok and Karuk ancestry whose death is considered suspicious by many in her community.

Several of the protesters had red handprints painted over their mouths, a symbol of the MMIW movement that Armstrong said represented the silence of the missing and murdered, and the voice the protestors hoped to give them.

concluded 1 in 5 of California’s missing or murdered Indigenous women are from Humboldt County (“See You Again,” Aug. 13).

Lydia West, a member of Oklahoma’s Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes, and an MMIW activist, traveled to Eureka from her residence in Lake County to join last night’s demonstration. Armstrong and West are collaborating to encourage local law enforcement and, ideally, the state of California to establish a task force dedicated to solving these disappearances and homicides that disproportionately affect Native populations. West also described efforts to work with tribal leaders across Northern California to call for the establishment of these task forces.

Using GoFundMe, Armstrong is currently seeking donations that assist with transportation and “search efforts for missing Humboldt County cases.”

Reflecting on last night’s demonstration, West expressed gratitude for the families of the missing and murdered who showed up en masse to speak for themselves and their loved ones. West described the gathering as an important step in healing and closure for families still seeking justice.

third fire directly impacting the North Coast — the Slater Fire straddling the Oregon-California border — started Sept. 8, its cause still under investigation.

Kathleen Zontos, a hydrologist with the National Weather Service’s Eureka office, said these fires encroached upon Humboldt County so quickly because they were driven by a unique westward wind that pushed warm, dry air into the fires, causing rapid spread and carrying their smoke to the coast.

“Whenever we get strong easterly flow, we get fires,” she said, adding the wind pattern was also responsible for the recent heat wave on the coast. “It also physically pushed all the smoke toward us.”

And when the smoke came in heavy Sept. 9, it blanketed Humboldt County for days, only clearing to give glimpses of blue sky as the Journal went to press Sept.

15. But that wasn’t just smoke from the nearby fires, Zontos said, explaining that

we saw a period of northerly winds on the coast, which were bringing smoke from the Slater Fire, as well as dozens of other blazes in the state, into Humboldt County along with smoke from the east. And what smoke was blown south from our local skies, she said, was eventually blown inland, where it circled back north before being pushed east back into Humboldt.

“We just had all this smoke circling over us — we were just getting it from all directions,” Zontos said.

That prompted air quality warnings throughout the region, with officials urging residents — especially those in sensitive groups like children, the elderly and those with respiratory issues — to stay indoors with windows and doors shut to avoid exposure. And, on Sept. 9, that air was so full of particulates from the fires’ quick spread that it scattered light from the sun, accounting for the orange glow.

“The smoke cloud that was being pushed over us was so abundant and dense, it appeared very orange,” she said.

“It was something that we’d never really seen before — at least not quite as badly as that.”

But the wind can only partly explain the fires’ rapid growth, said Jeffrey Kane, an associate forestry professor at Humboldt State University who teaches courses in fire ecology and fuels management. Kane said it’s pretty clear the bulk of escalating fire activity over the last 20 or 30 years is “directly related” to increased global temperatures from increased levels of CO2 in the atmosphere. (Gary Graham Hughes, the former executive director of the Environmental Protection Information Center in Arcata, who now works as a policy monitor for the Global Justice Ecology Project, said that’s why he calls these “fossil fueled fires.”)

Kane explained that climate change has created more “evaporative demand,”

which translates to much drier fuels in wildlands, meaning they are more prone to ignite when exposed to a spark or a lightning strike, and, when they do, they burn hotter and faster, and are harder to control. Kane said that while he believes climate change is the driving force behind these unprecedented fires — five of California’s largest on record have occurred this year — he said more can be done on the management side, too. Specifically, he suggested wider use of controlled burns and selective suppression, as well as forest thinning, as ways to more effectively limit fuel loads, adding that other policies — creating more defensible space around communities and making fire safety a priority in housing codes — can reduce the impact of wildfires on people.

“I would just emphasize that I think Northern Humboldt, in particular, has been kind of buffered from these large fires that impact communities but it’s only a matter of time,” he said. “If it doesn’t

happen this year, I don’t think it will be long before we see some of that.”

Whether flames or smoke, it seems all of Humboldt County is likely to be living for some time with at least some impacts of the blazes that surround it. As the Journal went to press Sept. 15, none of the three fires in Humboldt’s immediate vicinity was even 30 percent contained. And the light winds that had begun to clear the air on the coast were also expected to help ventilate the fires, increasing their activity in a grim catch-22. There’s also the fact that fire resources remain stretched incredibly thin with some 16,000 firefighters from all over the country deployed throughout California to fight 25 large fires or complexes currently burning, not to mention the dozens of fires raging throughout the rest of the West Coast.

Included in one of the recent Red Salmon Complex incident updates from the U.S. Forest Service was a sobering warning: “The fire is expected to burn until

sustained wetting rain extinguishes it.”

When the Journal read her this line, Zontos sighed audibly into the phone as she referenced weather models. There had been hope a storm system might bring a bit of rain and at least increased humidity this week, she said, but “it’s not panning out.” Looking beyond the dry forecast for the coming 10 days, Zontos said, “climatologically speaking,” first rains usually hit the region in October or November.

“Sooner than that, it doesn’t look very promising yet,” she said. “But it always can change.”

The August Complex Formed by dozens of separate fires — including the Doe, Tatham, Glad, Hull, Elkhorn and Hopkins fires — the August Complex Fire spanned nearly 800,000 acres and was 30 percent contained as Continued on page 17 »

the Journal went to press. The complex’s West Zone had prompted an evacuation order in southeastern Humboldt and more widespread warnings.

Honsal told the board of supervisors Sept. 15 that the fire would have burnt its way into Humboldt Sept. 9 if not for an “emergency decision” by Humboldt-Del Norte CalFire Unit Chief Kurty McCray to branch off and work with local fire crews to contain the fire’s northwestern edge as it encroached on the Eel River. “They worked 96-plus hours straight to essentially save our county,” Honsal said. (Another crew also worked diligently to keep flames from the community of Ruth Lake.) Officials said the plan as the Journal went to press was to spend the coming days taking the current fire line that’s keeping the fire out of the county and extending it from Kettenpom all the way to the Mad River,

which could potentially lead to the lifting of evacuation orders in Humboldt County.

The Red Salmon Complex Spread across 95,000 acres in the Klamath, Six Rivers and Shasta-Trinity national forests within Humboldt, Trinity and Siskiyou counties, the Red Salmon Complex was 18 percent contained as the Journal went to press. CalFire crews had worked closely with the Hoopa Fire Department to contain the fire’s northeastern edge to protect the reservation, as well as the community of Willow Creek. On the fire’s west side, crews were working to protect the Siskiyou County community of Forks of Salmon, while crews on the fire’s southern end were working to defend the

town of Denny.

On Sept. 15, officials were warning that fire activity had increased Sept. 14 as winds picked up with relatively low humidity.

Gusts of 20 mph were expected the following day but the U.S. Forest Service noted hopefully in its update that the forecast held “chances for showers” later in the week.

The Slater Fire Sparked near the Slater Butte Fire Lookout in Klamath National Forest, the Slater Fire had grown to span 136,600 acres across the California-Oregon state line as the Journal went to press, with 10 percent containment. The fire had prompted the closure of U.S. Highway 199 from Gasquet into Oregon, and evacuation warnings had been issued for Happy Camp, Gasquet,

Hiouchi, Big Flat, as well as Kerby and Cave Junction in Oregon.

The fire remains fairly active in all directions, with the U.S. Forest Service reporting gusting winds were pushing its spread to the north and northwest in Oregon, while the fire’s southern edge “continues to flank along State Route 95 and the Klamath River, moving east and west.” ● Get fire updates and see more photos and incident maps at northcoastjournal.com Thadeus Greenson (he/him) is the Journal’s news editor.

Peppers Make Summer Last Longer

By Simona Carini

onthetable@northcoastjournal.com

A

s long as there are peppers at the farmers market, I can still believe in summer. I sort of understand how, come September, some people start feeling the pull of fall: bowls of steaming soup, glowing persimmons, roasted chestnuts. I love the warm colors of fall and my yearly pumpkin patch pilgrimage; I jump at the first apples and pears from the new crop, start hoarding winter squash as soon as they appear at the farmers market. But that does not mean I don’t mourn the shortening of days and the disappearance of beloved summer produce.

As long as there are peppers, I am all right. It is hard not to be cheered by their colors, sizes and shapes at the farmers market. I remember peppers coming in definite colors: green, yellow, orange, red. The palette seems to widen every year, with purple and variegated varieties appearing at the market. Color and flavor are determined not only by the plant variety, but by the stage of ripeness when picked.

The species Capsicum annuum includes a variety of peppers, mild and hot, including bell peppers, sweet/Italian peppers, Serrano, cayenne, paprika and jalapeño. A few years ago, scientists from different disciplines combined their research data and arrived at a single hypothesis about the origin of what is the world’s most widely grown spice crop. The results suggest the birthplace of the domesticated chili pepper, Capsicum annuum, may have been a region in central-east Mexico extending from southern Puebla and northern Oaxaca to southern Veracruz, and encompassing the valley of Tehuacán, farther south

than previously thought.

Overall, any variety that lacks heat (which is measured with the Scoville scale) is called a sweet pepper. The blocky sweet peppers are called bell peppers. I like roasting sweet peppers for immediate and later use. In the dead of winter, when I need some bright color, I take a container of roasted peppers out of the freezer and add them to soup or side dish, or use them to make the Syrian red pepper spread muhammara (“Dip into Muhammara,” Jan. 28, 2016).

A flattened shape and thick flesh make round of Hungary peppers perfect for oven roasting.

Italian sweet and other peppers elongated in shape are great for cooking in a skillet. Deep crimson corno di toro (or bull’s horn, for its shape) is a popular variety and there is also Carmen, described on the All-American Selections website as “sweetest when it is ripe red, but … sweet even when immature or green.”

From my recent visit to the farmers market I brought home a small jewel called Violet Sparkle. Don’t you love the name?

In this simple recipe, a small amount of curry powder gives peppers and onion a hint of spicy flavor. You can use

the result as a side dish, to dress pasta or with eggs. You can also prepare the dish with bell peppers but why not try something new? Elongated peppers are also easier to cut for this recipe. At the farmers market, sweet and hot peppers are clearly separated, but, if in doubt, ask the farmer.

Curried Sweet Peppers Serves 3 as a side dish.

Ingredients: 10 ounces sweet onion (such as Walla Walla or Vidalia) 13-14 ounces Italian sweet peppers (Carmen, corno di toro or other variety) or bell peppers ½ teaspoon curry powder diluted in 2 tablespoons warm water 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced ½ teaspoon fine sea salt, more to taste 1 ounce freshly grated cheese, like cheddar or Cypress Grove Midnight Moon Slice the onion lengthwise into ¼-inch sections and separate the layers into short ribbons.

Cut the peppers lengthwise. Carve out and discard the stem portion, as well as the seeds and ribbing inside. Cut each half in half crosswise and slice each piece lengthwise into ¼-inch ribbons.

Warm up the olive oil in a deep 10inch sauté pan or large skillet on medium heat. Add the onion, stir to coat and let cook on medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add the garlic, stir and let cook for 1 minute.

Add the peppers and the diluted curry to the pan. Stir well, cover and cook on low heat until the peppers are tender (about 15 minutes), stirring every few minutes.

When the peppers are tender, adjust the salt and stir, then remove the pan from the heat.

Distribute the cheese over the vegetables, cover the pan again for a couple minutes to let the cheese soften. Serve immediately. ● Simona Carini (she/her) also writes about her adventures in the kitchen on her blog www.pulcetta.com.

SCREENS

Zoom and Doom Coastal Elites

By John J. Bennett

screens@northcoastjournal.com

C

OASTAL ELITES. Maybe this will be the one, among many little-read movie columns in a left-leaning but ultimately centrist alternative weekly newspaper from the charred western slope of the former U.S., that gets me on the list.

I am not egotistical enough to imagine I’ll go to the camp with the first or second tier writers and thinkers. It’s possible the collapse will halt the widestream dissemination of information and opinion altogether, that chaos will displace totalitarianism and we’ll all be fighting over potable water. Precedent indicates, though, that criticism of any kind — speaking to a willingness to consider multiple points of view — invites criticism and, in the poisonous echo-chamber of social media culture, an easy way to get noticed. And so, sooner or later, those of us who voice our support for art like Coastal Elites might find ourselves subject to a “casual interview,” Joseph McCarthy/Hans Landa style. This assumes solid record keeping by a failed state attempting to recast itself as a proto-capitalist, fascist, idiot monoculture, so maybe not; seems like anything could happen.

Director Jay Roach and writer Paul Rudnick have made what we once called a TV movie, though the boundaries grow ever less distinct, and this one is very much of its moment, thus hard to classify.

Roach, best known for broad comedies (the Austin Powers and Meet the Parents’ series), shook me by the lapels last year with Bombshell — a revelatory movie underwatched by liberals because it’s about Fox News and underwatched by conservatives because, well. Shame on both camps for ignoring its exploration and explication of our culture of misogyny, hyper-sexualization, commercialization of media and corporate influence over government.

Rudnick also has some well-known work on his CV, including the Sister Act movies and the 2004 adaptation of The Stepford

“It’ll start getting cooler.”

Coastal Elites

Wives. He’s neither stranger nor slouch, but he hasn’t been quite as active as Roach lately.

Roach has been making political — Comedies? Satire? Tragic reflections on modern slow-motion catastrophe? — for HBO for years now. First Recount (2008), then Game Change (2012) and now Coastal Elites. He wears his politics on his sleeve and seems an easy mark for easier criticism, but he also pursues his subjects with such even-handedness, compassion and humanity that, at its best, his work transcends politicization and gets at the heart of issues cheapened by the erosion of our national — international? — discourse. And he’s not shy about it, naming the movie using the very language of its protagonists’ detractors.

Coastal Elites is a movie entirely of and about the entropy of America in 2020.

Produced remotely in quarantine, it consists of five monologues spoken directly into the camera. Miriam Nessler (Bette Midler), a self-described liberal Jewish lady from New York City, speaks to us from January of this year (who’d have thought we’d look back on it as a simpler time?) in an interrogation room after absconding with a MAGA hat on her way to the theater. Over the course of her police “interview,” she becomes the proxy voice of her city, celebrating the social and cultural

landmarks and advances that have defined it, while decrying the active, aggressive war being waged against them.

Next, Mark Hestermann (Dan Levy) Zooms into an emergency session with a fill-in therapist. He’s a middling-successful Los Angeles actor short-listed to star as the first openly gay superhero in a major studio tent-pole. He feels as though he has sold himself out in his second audition, pandering to the casting people with a broad, stereotypical version of the character which, of course, they found perfect. He pours out and pores over his conflicting impulses and emotions, attempting to process his identity as a gay man in Hollywood, let alone in modern America.

Issae Rae plays Callie Josephson, daughter of a very wealthy businessman with intimate access to the first family. Callie, in fact, attended boarding school with Ivanka and rushes breathlessly in from a protest to call a friend and tell her all about a recent visit to the White House. She succinctly describes the tone-deafness and cultural illiteracy of a family/administration so narcissistic it cannot see the damage done by their actions and inactions. Ivanka wants Callie to come on board to help her win over the disenfranchised; no deal.

Clarissa Montgomery (Sarah Paulson) is introduced in the context of her online

guided meditation series. Problem is, she has returned home to shelter-inplace with her red-hat family to initially disastrous results. As she details the existential crisis that has become the new normal, though, she eventually comes to describe a moment with her seemingly hard-line, Vietnam veteran father wherein he confides, insisting on secrecy, that he too loathes the President, albeit for a very different reason.

Finally, Sharynn Tarrows (Kaitlyn Devers), a nurse from Wyoming who went to New York to lend a hand on the front lines, records what appears to be a video diary entry. She’s just come off a shift with plans to return home the next day and details a harrowing, heartbreaking relationship with a patient.

Coastal Elites speaks to the choir, sure.

But the hope would be that somebody will see past the manufactured divisions among us, listen to some other than the chorus of like-minded voices on their phone, and consider that kindness and inclusion are fundamental and important values to uphold, regardless of affiliation or border or any other, manufactured distinction. What are the odds? TVMA. 88M. HBO. ● John J. Bennett (he/him) is a movie nerd who loves a good car chase.

Raised by Otters

By Mike Kelly

washedup@northcoastjournal.com

O

ver the years I have found three dead North American river otters (Lontra canadensis) washed up on local beaches. One of them had worn teeth, so may have lived a full life, which is supposedly between about eight and 12 years in the wild. The second otter was small but badly decomposed, and I didn’t notice any clues to its death. And the third was a prime adult male who had been shot in the head, which I take personally.

And I’ll tell you why.

You see, my parents’ swinging lifestyle was severely cramped by having a baby.

So they eventually did the right thing and threw me off a bridge. It must have been my lucky day because I landed near the den of a mother river otter and her three kits.

The otter kits were probably about 10 weeks old because they were allowed out of their den, but hadn’t been fully weaned yet. I was 6 months, so was also transitioning to solid foods. River otters have four nipples, so I enjoyed Otter Mom’s fat-rich milk with my siblings between her gifts of pre-chewed fish and whatever else she killed.

Over the following months, my siblings and I did a lot of play wrestling. Believe me, otters may be cute but they will kick your ass. We also practiced hunting. I had a difficult time catching fish with my mouth but I dug up some yummy freshwater mussels.

In my time with my family group, we stayed along the river. But other local river otters commonly hunt in the sea.

Maybe you’ve seen otters in our marine waters and assumed they were sea otters.

While at least one sea otter has been documented passing through, we have no resident sea otters. Look for salty river otters around Trinidad Harbor and Humboldt Bay. I once even saw a group of six curious river otters swim out from

Patrick’s Point to check out a mother gray whale and her calf.

River otters also forage in our local tide pools. So far I’ve seen them catching and consuming fish such as sculpins, Pacific sardines and even a large eel-like gunnel. But river otters aren’t too picky and have been observed eating all kinds of small animals.

A buddy of mine even photographed one eating a bird at Stone Lagoon earlier this year. Otters don’t scavenge carrion, so somehow that otter must have caught a live bird.

After a few months, I was unable to keep up with my otter siblings and Otter Mom started to get interested in Otter Pop again. They enjoyed vigorous and extended sex with lots of caterwauling, which reminded me of my human parents.

I started to get homesick. I was also tired of teething on live crawdads so I set out for home.

I crawled along the highway with my thumb out and was picked up by a stranger. He said, “Boy, you look like you’ve been raised by wolves!” Wolves? What an idiot.

You should have seen the looks on their faces when I arrived home to find Mom and Dad and the neighbors swinging hard. Home sweet home!

Anyway, if you want to learn more about local otters, and/or report river otter sightings for science, visit www. wildlife.humboldt.edu/people/jeff-black/ research/otter.

And one final thought: When I first discussed writing this column with North Coast Journal staff, I asked if I could use the F-word. They said they love the F-word, so no problem. But in three years I haven’t had a need — until now. To whoever shot that otter in the head: Fuck you. ● Biologist Mike Kelly (he/him) writes science-based satire as M. Sid Kelly.

Free Will Astrology Week of Sept. 17, 2020

By Rob Brezsny

Homework: What’s your favorite rule to break? FreeWillAstrology.com

freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): In one of your past lives, maybe you were a Neanderthal midwife in what’s now southern France. In another incarnation, you may have been a 17th-century Guarani shaman who shared your knowledge about local plants with an Italian Jesuit missionary in what’s now Uruguay. All the powers and aptitudes you perfected in those and other previous ages could prove helpful as you cultivate your genius in the coming weeks. JUST KIDDING! Cancel my previous speculations,. For you Aries folks, past achievements are often of secondary importance as you create your future. In fact, your mandate is usually to transcend the old days and old ways. It may be better not to imitate or rely on old stories, no matter how dazzling. This will be especially true in the coming weeks.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “There are no ordinary feelings,” says poet Dean Young. “Just as there are no ordinary spring days or kicked over cans of paint.” That’s always true, but it will be especially true for you in the coming weeks. I suspect you will be host to a wealth of interesting, unique, and profound feelings.

They might be a bit overwhelming at times, but I think they will mostly provide rich opportunities for your soul to grow deeper and stronger and more resilient.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “There should be a science of discontent,” said novelist Frank Herbert. “People need hard times and oppression to develop psychic muscles.” I partially agree with that observation, but I also think it’s a gratuitous cliché that’s not at all absolute. In fact, our culture is under the spell of a mass delusion that tempts us to believe “no pain, no gain” is the supreme learning principle. I’d like to see the development of a robust science of contentment: how fascination and freedom and generosity can build psychic muscles. You’ll be a good candidate to study that subject in the coming weeks.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian songwriter Mathangi Arulpragasam is better known by her stage name M.I.A. She has accomplished a lot in her 45 years on the planet, having been nominated for three Grammy Awards and an Academy Award.

Esquire magazine named her the 75th most influential person of the 21st century. One key to her success is the fact that she formulated a clear master plan many years ago, and has used it to guide her decisions. In her song “Matangi,” she refers to it: “If you’re gonna be me, you need a manifesto / If you ain’t got one, you better get one presto.” I bring this to your attention, Cancerian, because the coming weeks will be an excellent time to formulate (or re-formulate) your life manifesto and master plan.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “If you’re not invited to the party, throw your own,” declares singer and actress Diahann Carroll. In the coming weeks, I urge you Leos to use that advice as a metaphor in every way you can imagine. For example, if you’re not getting the love you want from a certain someone, give it to yourself. If no one hands you the opportunity you need, hand it to yourself.

If you wish people would tell you what you want to hear, but they’re not saying it, tell yourself what you want to hear. It’s a time when you need to go beyond mere self-sufficiency. Be self-gratifying, self-rewarding, self-acknowledging.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “At the necessary moment, going naked will be your most convincing disguise,” writes poet Dobby Gibson. As I apply his witty statement to your life, I’ll interpret it metaphorically. My sense is that you could really use the kind of “disguise” he’s talking about. What I mean is that you would benefit by appearing to be different from what people expect of you. You can gain key advantages by shifting the image you present to the world—by expressing a part of your identity that is not usually obvious. And I think the best way to do that is to “go naked”—i.e. be candid and transparent and vulnerable about your core truths.

2

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran playwright Wendy Wasserstein wrote, “Every year I resolve to be a little less the me I know and leave a little room for the me I could be. Every year I make a note not to feel left behind by my friends and family who have managed to change far more than I.” I recommend Wasserstein’s practice to you, dear Libra. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to launch this ritual as an annual tradition. For best results, write it out as a vow. I mean take a pen and paper and compose a solemn pledge, then sign it on the bottom to seal your determination.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “I may not lead the most dramatic life,” confesses singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright, “but in my brain it’s War and Peace every day.” He was referencing Leo Tolstoy’s sprawling, exuberant 1,200-page novel War and Peace, which features stories about five families who lived through Napoléon’s invasion of Russia in the 19th century. I’m guessing that these days your fantasy life may also be filled with epic fairy tales and heroic sagas and tear-jerking myths. Is there a problem with that? Not necessarily. It could be quite entertaining and educational. I do recommend that you keep your actual life a little calmer and saner, however.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “I rejoice to live in such a splendidly disturbing time!” said author Helen Keller (1880–1968).

She was a smart activist who worked hard in behalf of women’s equality, labor rights, antimilitarism, and socialism. Was she being sarcastic in saying she loved being alive during a time of upheaval? Not at all. She derived excitement and vigor from critiquing injustice. Her lust for life soared as she lent her considerable energy to making life on earth more enjoyable for more people. I invite you to consider adopting her attitude in the coming weeks. It’s a good time to experiment with generating the personal power that becomes available by taking practical action in behalf of your high ideals.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You know what perfectionists are: people who obsessively strive to finesse every last detail, polishing and honing so compulsively that they risk sucking all the soul out of the finished product. In contrast to them, I propose that we identify a different class of humans known as imperfectionists. They understand that a ferocious drive for utter purity can make things sterile and ugly. They resolve to cultivate excellence while at the same time they understand that irregularities and eccentricities may infuse their work with beauty. I hope you’ll act like an imperfectionist in the coming weeks, Capricorn.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Everything good I’ve ever gotten in life, I only got because I gave something else up,” writes author Elizabeth Gilbert. To that melodramatic declaration, I say, “Really? Everything? I don’t believe you.” And yet I do think she has a point. On some occasions, the most effective strategy for bringing good new influences into our lives is to sacrifice an influence or habit or pattern we’re attached to. And often the thing that needs to be sacrificed is comfortable or consoling or mildly pleasurable. I suspect that the coming weeks will offer you one of these opportunities, Aquarius.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “I and me are always too deeply in conversation,” confessed philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. I wonder why he said “too deeply” and not just “deeply.” Did he mean his dialogs with himself distracted him from important matters in the world outside of his imagination? Was he implying that he got so consumed while conducting his self-interviews that he lost his bearings and forgot what his goals were? With these cautions in mind, Pisces, I invite you to dive into an intense but spacious communion with yourself. Make this a delightful and illuminating conference, not a raging debate or a debilitating argument. l
