If you have been in a serious motor vehicle accident, you may start receiving direct “solicitations” from law firms outside the area who want your case. These solicitations are illegal and should be reported to the State Bar. Out-of-town law firms will sometimes create a website or post a YouTube video about your accident.

While not technically illegal, these are indirect efforts to solicit you as a client. Beware many of these lawyers (who seem to be primarily from Los Angeles) do not have significant trial experience and no connection to Humboldt County. They are looking for quick lowball settlements from the insurance company.

Awards and an Invitation

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

W

e are elated to announce that North Coast Journal arts and features editor Jennifer Fumiko Cahill won the Association of Alternative Newsmedia’s 2020 award for best food writing, while the paper’s Media Literacy Issue took second place for best special section.

The nonprofit association includes nearly 100 member papers throughout the country, including many of the nation’s largest weeklies, and its annual journalism awards honor the best work of its membership ranks.

Cahill, who has served as the Journal’s arts and features editor since 2013, was named a finalist in the food writing category — one of the contest’s most competitive, having drawn more than three dozen entries — for three pieces she penned last year.

“Butter and Belonging at Red Lobster” reflected on the ostracism and anger she’d felt as a young girl translating for her grandfather at the Social Security office and the buttery balm Red Lobster offered. “Lunch and Legacy at Chin’s” celebrated the life of Ben Chin, who ran Chin’s Café for 20 years and “cooked more than one generation of locals their first Chinese meals and paved the way for other cooks, immigrants and entrepreneurs to follow.” And “We are Never Only Talking About Food” — which ran in our aforementioned Media Literacy Issue — took a critical eye to the world of food writing and why it matters because, “food media, after all, is about people, businesses, politics, science, culture, inequality, privilege, migration, history and community.”

From one of the judges: “At a time when restaurants and food writers are examining the roles of equity, inclusion and appropriation in our industry, Jennifer Fumiko Cahill writes about the intersection of food, family and race in heartfelt and informative ways. Her story ‘Butter and Belonging at Red Lobster’ tells a personal and multi-generational story of assimilation into American culture through the lens of an iconic brand. I loved this story in every way.”

If you missed any of these pieces, we urge you to take some time to give them a read. If not, we encourage you to double back — they’re wonderful pieces of writing filled with poignant moments and layers of insight.

When it comes to our Media Literacy Issue, we’re proud to learn AAN’s esteemed judging panel deemed it the worthwhile endeavor we envisioned when we launched the first one a couple years back, hoping to help readers better navigate a rapidly changing media landscape while lifting the veil of our own operation. And we’re not at all ashamed to finish second to the Chicago Reader’s Best of Chicago 2019 issue, for which it tapped 15 staffers to contribute.

(The Journal, meanwhile, has an editorial staff of five.)

If you missed our 2019 Media Literacy Issue, it detailed the struggles of Humboldt County’s old-growth daily newspaper under hedge-fund ownership, how that fits into a national trend and what it’s like to lead a paper hemorrhaging staff. It also tackled why Native representation matters, how journalism is being taught at some local high schools, the importance of parody news,

the role television coverage plays in presidential elections, why the media needs to better cover the environment, what it means to be a local movie critic or music writer, and how we are never only talking about food.

‘Unacceptable’ Editor: In response to DA Maggie Fleming’s reaction to my letter (Mailbox, Sept. 17); in my encounters with her department I have not experienced the “excellent work” she refers to. In the case of mental competency of an intellectually challenged homeless defendant, although she can’t make a competency determination, when notified that the instrument used to examine for competence was the wrong one, she could have ordered the correct instrument but refused to do so. In the case of the bloodied toddler, the Child Abuse Services Team (CAST) led by her department failed to conduct a comprehensive forensic interview with the child at the time of the incident as required.

Instead, they waited almost a year, knowing that a tiny child’s memory is vulnerable, defeating the purpose of CAST. In the Howard Street case, why did she take the word of the “credible, neutral observer” over the actual photographs and hospital records of the bully’s victims? Is she saying these victims are hurting themselves in order to persecute the bully who has multiple previous assault convictions? That is not credible.

While I am open to, and always hopeful for, positive narratives involving the DA’s office, citizens’ negative experiences should not be ignored. Fleming’s threshold for “provable evidence” seems to be set so high that almost 50 percent of all annual cases are not even being prosecuted. The fact that she brags about that statistic does not instill confidence. Sending a vulnerable intellectually challenged individual to San Quentin while allowing

two heinous bullies to remain on the streets is unacceptable.

‘Read on!’

Editor: I was searching the Humboldt County Library catalogue and I found that all these books are checked out, and all have holds: How to be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi (the library has two copies with seven holds); Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America, by Ibram X. Kendi (one copy, two holds); and Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You, a young adult book by Jason Reynolds adapted from Kendi’s book (one copy, three holds).

This is interest I want to support, so I am thinking I’ll buy a copy(ies) — and not from Amazon, but from a local, independent bookstore — to have donated to the library. Or, since the library cannot accept any donations of used books for now, I can donate money specifically for buying new books, via the Humboldt Library Foundation’s Buy-a-Book Campaign. I invite others to consider doing the same.

If being an anti-racist interests you, dear reader, here are a few other titles, recommend by the President of the Eureka NAACP: Me and White Supremacy by Layla Saad; Slavery by Another Name: The Re-Enslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World War II by Douglas Blackmon; White Fragility by Dr. Robin DiAngelo; White Rage by Carol Anderson; Continued on next page »

‘Worn Out’

Eureka pans syringe exchange nonprofit

By Linda Stansberry

newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

A

t the Sept. 15 Eureka City Council meeting several things were made clear. The council supports the presence of a syringe exchange program in the city. So does the chief of police. What they do not support is the Humboldt Area Center for Harm Reduction, as least in its current form, evidenced by a 4-1 decision to send a letter to the California Department of Public Health requesting the nonprofit not be re-certified for syringe exchange services.

“I feel as though we have supported HACHR and gone over the top to help them,” said Councilmember Kim Bergel.

“You’re amazing with the clients. … You make huge differences every day. But frankly, the neighbors and much of the city, they’re not appreciative. … I felt like over the past two years there has been this big finger coming up at us when we try to work with you. … If it was another business, you’d be shut down for noncompliance.”

The council’s vote came in spite of an outpouring of support for HACHR from members of the public.

In its letter, the city accuses HACHR of “thumbing its nose” at city requests for greater information and outreach, as well as complicity in onsite drug use and sales.

It also accuses the nonprofit of condoning and facilitating the smoking of methamphetamines. (HACHR staff strongly deny all of this.)

The decision to send the letter, initially announced via an Aug. 12 city press release, came after a four-month surveillance and undercover investigation of HACHR’s facility at 1522 Third St. by the Eureka Police Department. This investigation was initiated

by EPD Chief Steve Watson after a meeting between himself, then City Manager Dean Lotter and neighbors who complained that the program had attracted nuisance behaviors, such as open drug use, drug deals and needle litter.

Watson, speaking on the matter during council discussion, said he wanted to make it clear that “this was no witch hunt.”

“In March, we viewed criminal activity that led us to a fact-finding mission,” said Watson. “I was very clear with my staff —

I’m not looking for a certain outcome here, I just want to know the truth.”

Officers surveilled the facility and its parking lot and went undercover as clients seeking clean syringes. Undercover officers said they were approached to buy drugs as they waited in line at HACHR; a video released with the report corroborates one such transaction. Officers reported witnessing hand-to-hand transactions in the parking lot and a person shooting up next to the site. An officer also saw what seemed to be a HACHR staff member or volunteer smoking methamphetamine in the building.

Capt. Brian Stephens, who authored the report, says the investigation proved staff were aware of onsite drug sales and use.

“I believe they are aware of what takes place,” said Stephens. He also cited an incident reported by an officer who attended the organization’s open house in which a person left the bathroom apparently intoxicated on opiates, and the fact that HACHR’s bathroom door had a posted time limit for use as evidence that onsite consumption was tolerated. Due to COVID-19, HACHR changed its operations to prohibit clients from going inside the building to use the bathroom, which Stephens said prevented officers from investigating further.

During the investigation, officers also revealed that HACHR gave out “safer smoking kits” for using methamphetamine; HACHR staff say this is in line with best practices from the California Department of Public Health. Its website says the practice is not only allowed under state law but also that CDPH has “determined that safer smoking materials, provided in a harm reduction context alongside health education care, may help individuals avoid initiation of injection drug use, and may allow people who inject drugs to transition from injection to safer modes of administration.”

The 23-week investigation did not result in any charges filed against HACHR staff, although it did lead to three arrests on allegations of heroin possession for sales, according to EPD.

or sales, adding that they have not been presented with EPD’s evidence of a staff member allegedly smoking methamphetamine on the premises and that the staff member in question was no longer there.

“We do have a standing agreement with our participants that that kind of behavior will not occur on our premises,” Firefox Allen said. “We’re in Eureka — if you go to McDonald’s and do an undercover surveillance there, you’ll find drug activity in the parking lot. … We do our part to make sure that kind of activity is not happening on our premises. We try to protect our program.”

Curiously little was said about this investigation during the meeting. Instead, councilmembers focused on HACHR’s alleged refusal to send quarterly reports to the city manager, a key part of the city ordinance. Bergel claims HACHR staff replied to requests for reports by saying they didn’t have to because they are state licensed.

Councilmember Natalie Arroyo said the city, which does not certify the program, has a “limited toolkit.”

“To be perfectly frank, we and EPD are worn out by the nuisance issues around the property,” she said. “We are getting informed that it is concentrated there to a degree that is unsupportable. I feel as though the responsibility for dealing with public impact and perception has fallen hard on the city.”

Arroyo went on to cast the lone dissenting vote against sending the letter, saying she did not think it would have the desired effect of mitigating crime and nuisance behavior in the neighborhood. An earlier agenda item — which repealed the 2016 council resolution in support of HACHR and replaced it with a similar resolution that did not name a specific syringe exchange program — passed 4-1, with Councilmember Leslie Castellano dissenting on the grounds that she preferred to resolve the conflict through community stakeholder meetings. A portion of that resolution requiring syringe exchange services to be mobile and decentralized was tabled pending further research by staff.

Former HACHR Executive Director Jessica Smith attributed lack of compliance with the city’s ordinance to a miscommunication, not willful defiance. When she took the reins from HACHR founder Brandie Wilson in July of 2019, she sent a cumulative ninemonth report to then-City Manager Greg Sparks at his request. Smith said she did not receive any further requests for reports and that state guidelines on what is required are “unclear.”

“It was never, like, an intentional, ‘Screw you, city,’” said Smith, echoing Bergel’s words.

When it was evident that some neighbors were dissatisfied with HACHR’s presence; she said she talked to them and gave them her phone number. The program, established in 2016, has attracted criticism from its inception, but Smith said most of what she has experienced has been online, rather than the “vocal, open” pushback that Wilson experienced, which included death threats. For most of her tenure, and that of Firefox Allen’s, Smith said the city and public have been “eerily quiet.”

Then came the report. HACHR staff found out about the EPD investigation and the letter to the CDPH the same way as everyone else, Smith said: When it came out in the media.

“It felt … not great,” said Firefox Allen.

“Basically, it was in my first month as ED. It felt like a trial by fire, honestly.”

The nonprofit is now waiting for the CDPH’s decision, which is due in early October but may be delayed as the state department addresses the pandemic, with the fate of what many feel is a crucial service hanging in the balance. Needle exchange programs have been repeatedly proven to reduce the spread of disease and improve health outcomes, while Humboldt County has hepatitis C infection rates five times the national average and an opioid overdose rate five times that of the rest of California, according to a 2018 report from the Humboldt County Department of Health and Human Services.

Firefox Allen and Smith said they are working proactively with the city and with neighbors. Missing from the narrative, they said, are the many people in the community who support their work. Those community members called in in droves for the council meeting, contributing to more than an hour of public comment and outnumbering detractors 17 to three. They ranged from HACHR employees and board members to medical professionals and community members who spoke in support of harm reduction in general and HACHR in particular. But for councilmembers, this show of support and the explanations from HACHR staff appeared to be too little, too late.

“A lot of people are supporting an ideology rather than an organization,” Councilmember Austin Allison said during discussion. “No matter what we do, we’re going to disappoint people tonight. As a medical professional … I think harm reduction is important but I don’t know if HACHR is the best fit for this community. And that’s tough for me to say.” ●

Fire Updates: Local Evacuation Warnings Lifted

E

vacuation warnings for swaths of Southern Humboldt were lifted Sept. 21, according to the Humboldt County Office of Emergency Services.

The county fire phone line for evacuation information has been disconnected for now but Humboldt County residents are asked to stay “ready” during this fire season.

The warnings were prompted by the West Zone of the August Complex burning in neighboring Trinity and Mendocino counties, which spanned 94,000 acres with 20 percent containment as the Journal went to press. The entire August Complex, now the largest fire in California history, covered 847,000 acres with 38 percent containment. The National Guard has been called in to help battle the blaze.

As officials lifted evacuation warnings and orders, affected roads were reopened as well.

“Overnight fire behavior was moderate with creeping, backing and smoldering,” a Sept. 22 update stated. “Active fire occurred in the southwest portion due to successful firing operations to fill in unburned islands.”

Red Salmon Complex: 104,667 acres with 28 percent containment.

Homicide in Arcata: Jacob Eli Steichen, a 34-year-old Arcata man, was arrested on suspicion of fatally stabbing his brother at a residence in the 1800 block of 11th Street on Sept. 20. According to Arcata Police, officers had to “extract” the victim from the residence as Steichen barricaded himself before later surrendering without further incident after crisis negotiators arrived on scene.

tage of favorable weather in order to secure active areas of the Red Salmon Complex fire, using firing/burn-out operations and containment line construction to control the advancement of the fire, according to a Sept. 22 update.

“We had some rain (Sept. 18), which has slowed down our operational tempo,” Mike Strawhun, incident commander said. “It slowed us down and gave us the opportunity to engage the fire with handlines and dozers.”

Crews planned to continue holding and mopping-up control lines along Tish Tang Ridge to Box Camp to protect the Hoopa Valley Reservation, Willow Creek, Salyer, Hawkins Bar and adjacent communities.

Weather conditions were expected to remain warm and dry with patchy smoke and temperatures in the upper 60s and 70s, with some temperatures possibly reaching the 80s in the valleys.

Slater-Devil Fires: The Slater Fire burning along the California-Oregon border had spread to 148,677 acres with 22 percent containment, while the nearby Devil Fire covered 7,458 acres with 18 percent containment, as the Journal went to press. The combined fires span 156,041 acres.

Starting Fresh

Amy’s Delight makes way for Island Delight

By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com

A

plexiglass barrier suspended from hooks in the ceiling sways just a little as Keaka Roberts-Fonoti zips between the register and the kitchen. A large pass-through window frames her and husband Samasoni Fonoti side by side at the flat-top grill as she gets a takeout box of loco moco ready for the pair of sunny-side up eggs he’s frying. Over her mask, her eyes dart to the counter where customers wait. Their daughter Puletele is planted in front of the shaved ice machine, collecting the falling flakes and patting them into an enormous mound she’ll drench in sweet red syrup.

While the family has sold Hawaiian shaved ice at Fourth of July street fairs for years, Island Delight, on the former site of Amy’s Delight on Eureka’s West Harris Street, is their first brick and mortar place.

As daunting as it is to open a restaurant in the middle of an industry-crushing pandemic, Fonoti and Roberts-Fonoti have known hard times and see the opportunity as “a blessing.” That includes meeting Pi Lien “Amy” Sedam and her husband Darrell Siggins, the former owners of Amy’s Delight. Sedam, whose life was changed by the help of a stranger, knows the value of a second chance, and she and her husband are paying it forward as they pass the restaurant on to the younger couple.

Wednesday through Saturday, the couple gets to the restaurant as early as 5 a.m., when Fonoti starts prepping vegetables and breading chicken katsu, and Roberts-Fonoti gets the kalua pig going.

The traditional Hawaiian low-and-slow barbecue method, which she learned as a kid in Humboldt from her Maui-born grandmother Johanna, takes six hours. “I learned to cook from my grandmother.

She was always cooking for all of us kids,” along with a bevy of aunties, extended family and friends. “I was always the one in the kitchen with her,” she says, adding she’d always wanted to open a restaurant but didn’t have any solid plans. But when Sedam and Siggins decided to retire, she and Fonoti began considering it in earnest.

Sedam and Fonoti go way back. “Well, I know Sam for about 25 years before he got in trouble,” says Sedam, who used to make the then College of the Redwoods student and Oahu transplant off-menu loco moco and give him odd jobs here and there. “I can see the good in him. We’re all human and we all make mistakes in a lifetime.”

Fonoti, born and raised in Samoa, says he grew up in “a really good family” but after graduating from high school, started selling hard drugs. “At that time, when I had my first kid, I didn’t know how to deal with things like that so in order to provide

for my family, that’s what I did. And the deeper I got into it, I didn’t know how to get out of it. … I was so stuck in the game,” he says, his voice low and steady. Despite making money, he says he was miserable and one night, for the first time, he prayed for help. A few months later, Fonoti was pulled over and arrested for possession of methamphetamines with intent to sell.

“I was sitting in that police car and I was happy. I was relieved,” he says, huffing out a small laugh, “I thought, ‘I was asking God for help but not this kind of help.’”

In 2011, Fonoti was sentenced to five years in the Federal Correctional Institution in Sheridan, Oregon. “I was lucky to even go there,” he says, “because there was this program, it’s called cognitive behavior … it helped me make better choices, helped me think about them before I make them.”

Fonoti says the program helped him reflect on the people he’d hurt and set him on the path to start over when he got out. “I was glad that my wife still accepted me. I knew it was tough for me to transition and being gone for five years, and rebuilding my relationships with my kids and my wife.”

He says he also got back to his family roots and his sense of spirituality. “It’s like my guiding light for me to always be thankful for what I have. And meeting Amy and all these people who work so hard. I like to follow that.”

Sedam says she can relate to his desire to start over. “When I was in Taiwan, I was a runaway and when I came here, I promised myself when I come here, I’m gonna work and become a citizen.” At 19 with no money, she fled her home to escape a marriage arranged by her father. “I want to erase that from my life,” she says.

After walking for hours to a nearby city, a woman running a market stall asked if she was hungry and fed her. The same woman helped her find work cleaning homes and caring for children, saving her from living on the streets.

Eventually, she immigrated to the U.S. with her first husband and earned an associate’s degree at College of the Redwoods. “I just wanna prove that I can do it. That I can be a good American citizen.”

Twenty-two years ago, after divorcing, she married Siggins. She was running a little burger shop with Chinese food to go. Then Pat Folkin, who owned the building where Island Delights now operates, generously cosigned a $100,000 loan so she could buy it. “I forever appreciate him,” she says.

Another $80,000 in credit card debt for kitchen equipment and Amy’s Delight was in business. “I don’t know why I had that kind of guts but I did,” she says, still sounding a little baffled.

After buying and selling a few properties and paying off their debts, Sedam

and Siggins were ready to retire — well, semi-retire, as they’re working mornings at the liquor store they now own beside Island Delight. “We like to work together,” Sedam explains. “We see our old friends and we’re very happy here.” They also found they were in a position to share their good fortune and decided to turn the restaurant, equipment and all, over to Fonoti and Roberts-Fonoti, who pay rent but not the massive down payment buying a restaurant usually requires. Sedam said, “You guys work hard and that’s it.”

“We’ve been talking about it with Amy like two years back,” says Roberts-Fonoti.

“We went in one day and she was like, ‘Are you guys ready?’”

Roberts-Fonoti was still working at Humboldt Medical Eye Associates and Fonoti was working 4 a.m. shifts driving a forklift at Costco, but they jumped in, figuring out rotating shifts for the kids to help out after school.

They also needed to figure out a short menu that would work for takeout and fit a family-friendly price range. Unlike his wife, Fonoti didn’t learn to cook until he had his five kids, all hungry athletes. “I would call my brother, like, ‘How do you do this?’ Or call somebody in my family.”

Then the couple would taste and tinker until it was right. “A lot of the food [in Hawaii], especially from the Asian community, it’s a melting pot there,” says Fonoti. But his sentimental favorite from the menu is the lau lau, a bundle of steamed, fragrant taro leaves stuffed with pork belly and oily butterfish, all wrapped in tea leaves. “I just love the taste of the leaves,” he says, adding that they wanted to offer it to the Pacific Islanders in the community and to introduce it to those who haven’t tried it.

“To me it’s not a Hawaiian place without having the lau lau.”

The August opening was delayed a few months by the COVID-19 pandemic and shelter in place but since its debut business has been remarkably steady, fueled solely by word of mouth without a website or social media. Robert-Fotoni says they’re getting a feel for the business before adding too much to the menu. Still, she’s hoping to add a teryaki burger and shortribs down the road along with some other family favorites.

“As far as our whole path, it’s been a long road but we just take it one day at a time. Just be grateful and thankful,” Robert-Fonoti says. “It’s still like, is this real?” l Jennifer Fumiko Cahill (she/her) is the Journal’s arts and features editor.

DOWN & DIRTY

Cleaning Up the Fall Garden … or Not

By Julia Graham-Whitt

downanddirty@northcoastjournal.com

M

y calendar tells me that the Autumn Equinox starts at 6:30 a.m. PST on Tuesday, Sept. 22. Before you get all excited about pumpkin spice season, it’s time to think about planting your fall garden if you haven’t yet and to think about cleaning up the summer garden (or not, but more on that in a moment).

I don’t know about you but my garden is looking pretty pathetic right around now, except for the dahlias that just keep blooming, or the pumpkin patch, which is still doing pretty great. In fact, I’ve already picked a dozen tiny little ornamental pumpkins and two pie pumpkins. As for the rest of it? Meh. Granted, I don’t live in a warm enough climate to be waiting for those last tomatoes on the vine to ripen before the next rain, though I do have a couple tomatillo plants that are still going gangbusters. But for nearly everything else, well, they’re pretty past their prime.

Now is the time to clean up a lot of the spent vines and plants, along with the stuff that didn’t thrive when you forgot to water them regularly as you promised earlier in the season. Tomatoes, sweet peas, bolted cilantro, zucchini plants that have a few more baseball bats on them — it’s time to pull those out and put them on the compost pile. Though if any of your plants are diseased wtih rust or powdery mildew, you do not want those on your compost pile. Put them in your green waste bin and let the folks at Recology or Wes Green deal with them. They will be added to other green waste, and turned into something usable because those piles get really hot and can kill many plant diseases.

But before you go bananas cleaning up

Leave a few roses to feed the birds and to develop hips for vitamin C-packed tea.

all of the dead items, leave some for the wildlife, especially for the birds. Flowers gone to seed, such as cosmos, echinacea, rudbeckia, marigold, asters and sunflowers are all greatly desired by foraging birds now that a lot of the other food crops have dried up. You can deadhead your roses but leave a few to develop into hips, which are very beautiful and can also be made into a tea, while birds and other wildlife will eventually eat the seeds inside as well. Rugosa roses are especially known for their beautiful seed heads or hips.

Humans often use them in teas, as they are high in vitamin C. You can also save seeds to plant next year (this is how farmers and gardeners did it for centuries, before seed companies came along). You’ll want to use open-pollinated varieties of plants and veggies so the seed will be true to type. Peas, beans, lettuce and tomatoes (remember, OP only, not hybrids like the delicious Sungold cherry tomato) are good candidates for seed saving. There are numerous sources online if you’re interested in learning how to save seeds from the plants in your garden. Seed Savers Exchange is an excellent site for information (www.seedsavers.org).

Once you have collected the seeds, store them in a cool, dark, dry place.

If you have a bit of space in your yard, leave a patch of overgrown garden for the wildlife as well. Birds and amphibians appreciate a little wild in your garden — a garden with bare earth isn’t very wildlife friendly.

So you’ve cleaned up the spent plants, and you’ve saved some seed for yourself and wildlife. Now what? It’s time to amend

the soil in preparation for the next season.

Choose a few spots where you can plant your winter crops: garlic, onions, kales, lettuces, chard, carrots and beets. The rest of the beds can lay fallow but there are ways you can boost the productivity next year. Cover crops are great for this, if you have space you don’t need to use over the winter. Most feed stores and nurseries have cover crops that you can plant. These are known as “green manures” because you till them into the ground before they go to seed in late winter or early spring.

Clover, vetch, field peas, favas, ryegrass and buckwheat make excellent cover crops. Consult with the local nursery folks to find out what will work best in your climate. In addition to adding organic matter and nutrients in the soil, these cover crops also form a living mulch and help suppress other undesirable plants (aka: weeds).

You can also amend your soil with some finished compost and if you have chickens or rabbits, you can add their manure to the soil or raised beds, where it will mellow as our winter rains begin.

Don’t put fresh chicken manure on any area you want to plant in the near future, as it will burn the plants. You can also top dress with straw to decompose over the winter — not hay, as it contains seeds and you’ll regret it next spring when you have 18 bazillion seed heads in the planting area.

FIELD NOTES

The Sound Guys: Edison and Berliner

By Barry Evans

fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com

F

ifty years after the world’s first surviving photograph was taken by Nicéphore Niépce in 1827, Thomas Edison did for sound what the French experimenter had done for light: capture it. Edison made his first recording “Mary had a Little Lamb” in December of 1877 and — like Niépce’s original photo — it was crude, imperfect, yet brimming with possibility.

The summer of 1877 saw Edison trying to build a machine that could transcribe the Morse code of telegraph messages into grooves on paraffin paper. By that fall, he realized that the same basic system might be able to record sound.

He wrapped tinfoil around a cylinder which he rotated while a stylus scribed a groove into the foil; the louder the sound, the deeper the groove. The stylus was attached to a diaphragm that responded to sounds focused by a conical horn.

Somewhat to his amazement, he was able to record his own voice and play it back by reversing the process. “I was never so taken aback in my life. I was always afraid of things that worked the first time,” he told a reporter.

Edison envisioned that his machine might be useful for dictation in a business setting, not realizing that the future of sound recording would be music. Today, of course, we take for granted the ability to listen to a Beethoven string quartet or Beyoncé’s latest at the touch of a button, but before the invention of sound recording, you might have heard a favorite symphony or concerto just three or four times in your lifetime. That’s assuming you lived near a concert hall and could afford to attend a performance. Clearly, Edison’s tinfoil (later, wax) cylinders weren’t going to take music to the masses; they couldn’t be reproduced, they were short and the quality was terrible. What was needed for commercial success was a way of capturing several minutes’ worth of music with reasonable accuracy, then making unlimited copies of the original without losing quality.

Emile Berliner (1851-1929) with a pair of his inventions, including the 1888 Gramophone (on right), circa 1920.

Public domain

German American inventor Emile Berliner rose to the challenge. While Edison went on to improve the telephone and develop a viable electric light bulb, Berliner devised the flat disc with grooves cut laterally (unlike Edison’s vertically-cut cylinder) for sound reproduction, a format virtually unchanged for the next 60 years. Berliner’s system required separate machines to record (left in photo) and play back (right), unlike Edison’s original cylinder instrument that did both. Berliner’s real breakthrough was figuring out how to create a sturdy master disc from which copies could be made. Starting in 1886, he invented a method by which a stylus, following the wiggles of a moving diaphragm, etched a spiral line upon a zinc disc coated with a thin layer of wax. After the wax was dissolved in acid, the inscribed line on bare metal became a playable groove. It was then a matter of “pressing,” i.e. converting the original into a durable master disc (the groove mirrored as a raised line) from which faithful copies — records — could be made.

While Berliner’s basic design was to last until Columbia Records introduced the vinyl hi-fi LP (long playing) record in 1948, the man himself turned his talents in other directions. After losing a series of lawsuits, including a patent battle with Edison, he found ways to improve cloth looms and acoustic tiles before embracing the young science of aircraft design. Specifically helicopters: Berliner introduced the use of the lightweight rotary engine (instead of a heavy in-line arrangement) and experimented with a vertically mounted tail rotor to counteract the main rotor’s torque.

So next time you see an orange Coast Guard chopper out over the bay, note the tail rotor and give an nod to Emile Berliner.

But know that his real claim to fame is that he pretty much invented the recording industry. l Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo.com) now knows why the “Grammy Awards” are called that.

Current mood. The Devil All the Time

Dark Turns on Country Roads The Devil All the Time

By John J. Bennettr

screens@northcoastjournal.com THE DEVIL ALL THE TIME. This country has long suffered from an identity crisis — 2020 has turned it into an outright catastrophe but it was a pre-existing condition going back almost as far as the nation itself. City does not know what to do with Country and vice versa, each population distrusting the other to the point of alienation, fear and contempt. City has long dominated the cultural discourse, in rapportage and art, with Country languishing as a kind of malformed twin confined to the shadows. There are genres and subgenres exploring life outside the metropolises — the novels of Daniel Woodrell and some of the David Lynch canon spring to mind — and they usually tend to skew dark-to-noir, rolling over rotted logs in the forest of Americana to expose the maggots and chaos below. I am drawn to this lane of artistic exploration, being a country boy with a dark sensibility who grew up here, of all places, the West Coast equivalent of the hills and hollows of the Southeast, mythic homes both of outlaw culture and barely concealed backwoods malfeasance. There are plenty of folksy, heartwarming tales of rural life, I’m sure; I haven’t really looked for them.

The truth of life in rural America obviously falls somewhere between Little House on

the Prairie and The Devil All the Time. But in artistic representation, that life tends to be handled with childlike superficiality or distilled into the bitterest brew. The Devil All the Time attempts the latter.

I was skeptical at first and remain so even after watching the movie. It is based on a novel by Donald Ray Pollock who, according to the internet, labored half a lifetime in a southern Ohio paper mill before pivoting to a life of letters. He is very much of the place in which he set this, his debut novel (which I have not yet read). His work was adapted by the screen, though, by Antonio and Paulo Campos, with Antonio directing. Antonio, the son of a producer and manager, and a New York City native, has risen to prominence in the independent cinema world in recent years. My skepticism blooms: Can the City translate the Country without leering or condescension? I think so and the fact that Pollock signed on to narrate the movie seems to point to his approval, but I’m still not entirely sure.

Crossing the border between Ohio and West Virginia while shuttling back and forth in time over a 20-year period, The Devil All the Time lays out a grisly lattice of misplaced faith, injustice, thrill killing, domination and subjugation. Our protag-

WORKSHOPS & CLASSES onist and proxy is orphaned Arvin Russell (played in childhood by Michael Banks Repeta and as a teenager by Tom Holland), who attempts to make sense of it all and wrest some sort of order from the chaos.

Arvin is the only child of Willard (Bill Skarsgård), a veteran of the Pacific theater in World War II who is haunted by his experiences there, and Charlotte (Haley Bennett), the kindhearted waitress with whom Willard fell in love after a brief meeting during a stopover on his bus ride home. Arvin’s parents come to bad ends and he ends up in the care of his grandmother Emma (Kristin Griffith) and uncle Earskell (David Atkinson), who have also taken in Lenora Laferty (Eliza Scanlen).

Eliza is also a child of tragedy, being the offspring of Helen Hatton (Mia Wasikowska), whom Emma took in after her family died in a fire, and Roy Laferty (Harry Melling), a delusional maniac preacher; neither parent is active in Lenora’s upbringing, for very different reasons. Intersecting the life-trajectories of Arvin and Lenora, at intervals, are a married pair of road killers named Sandy and Carl (Riley Keough and Jason Clarke) — he with troubling artistic aspirations, she with an increasing distaste for their pastime — her older, sheriff brother Lee Bodecker (Sebastian Stan) and an oily, nefarious preacher called Teagardin (Robert Pattinson). Arvin self-appoints as Lenora’s protector but in a world full of snakes, there is only so much he can do.

There is a Shakespearean/Greek tragedy element to the scale and complexity of this narrative, its telling compounded jumping around in time. To the credit of the Brothers Campos, the narrative spools out almost too languidly and the violence that punctuates it feels less shocking than it does de rigueur. In this darkened corner of the country, wrongdoing begets violence in the only semblance of justice to be had. Good, bad or indifferent, murder is the process and product by which lives are determined.

While not shocked by the killing or the thematic darkness in The Devil All the Time, I’ll acknowldedge that it is decidedly not for all tastes. It is, however, a self-assured examination of violence and questioned faith that avoids the potential pitfalls of a period drama set in the rural South. It is good looking without showiness, with some unexpectedly restrained, interior performances from a formidable cast. R. 138M. NETFLIX. l John J. Bennett (he/him) is a movie nerd who loves a good car chase.

will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to fee and clear ownership of the prop− erty. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this infor− mation. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call the trustee’s information line at (707) 444−9281. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information. The best way to verify postponement infor− mation is to attend the scheduled sale.

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Sept. 24, 2020 • northcoastjournal.com

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “It takes a lot of courage to be the same person on the outside that you are on the inside.”

Author Barbara De Angelis made that observation. I offer it up to you as a fun challenge. During the coming weeks, you may be strongly tempted to be different on the outside than you are on the inside. On the other hand, you’ll have the necessary insight and valor to remain unified. In fact, you may ultimately create more congruence between your inside and outside than you have in a long time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “People who deny the existence of dragons are often eaten by dragons. From within.” Fantasy author Ursula K. Le Guin made that observation, and now I’m conveying it to you just in time for the season when you’ll need it most. Please note that I am not predicting you’ll be devoured by dragons from within. In offering you this oracle, my hope is that you will: 1. acknowledge the existence of metaphorical dragons; 2. locate where they hang out in your inner realms; 3. study them and get to know them better; 4. devise a strategy for dealing with them safely.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Don’t let them tame you,” advised flamboyant Gemini dancer Isadora Duncan. Who did she mean by “them”? The mainstream critics, who might have wished she cultivated a less maverick style? Her managers and handlers, who may have wanted her to tone herself down so she could earn maximum amounts of money? Her friends, who cringed when she did things like dancing on a table wearing an evening dress at a party? In accordance with astrological omens, Gemini, I invite you to take a survey of what influences might wish you were more docile, mild, or manageable. And then meditate on how you could consistently express the healthiest kind of wildness.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In the Yoruba religion of Ifà, the English word “heart” has two different meanings and words.

So says Yoruba priest Awó Falokun Fatunmbi. The first heart is the organ that pumps blood through our bodies. It’s called okàn. Within the okàn is the second heart: a power center that regulates the flow of emotions. It’s called ègbè. I believe your ègbè will be exceptionally strong and clear and generous in the coming weeks, Cancerian. Your capacity to feel deeply and truly will be a gift to all those with whom you share it. It will also have the potential to enhance your appreciation for your own mysterious life. Wield your ègbè with glee and panache!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Ancient Greek philosopher Plato observed, “Do not train children to learn by force or harshness; but direct them to what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.” The same principle applies to all of us adults who are committed to the goal of life-long learning. And according to my astrological analysis, it will be especially useful for you Leos to keep in mind during the coming weeks. It’s time to energize your education! And here’s the best way to gather the new teachings that are important for you to know: Follow what amuses your mind.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Christian author Frederick Buechner writes, “We are commanded to love our neighbors as ourselves, and I believe that to love ourselves means to extend to those various selves that we have been along the way the same degree of compassion and concern that we would extend to anyone else.” Let’s make his thought your keynote for the next two weeks. Now is an excellent time to take a journey through your past to visit all the other people you have been. As you do attend to this poignant work, be generous with each of your old selves. Forgive them for their errors and praise their beauty.

Tell them how much you love them. Thank them for how they have made possible the life you’re living now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Seventy-nine-year-old Libran poet Robert Pinsky has had a triumphant life. He has published 19 books, including his own poems and essays, as well as translations of Italian and Polish poetry. For four years he served as the United States Poet Laureate. To what factors does he attribute his success? Here’s one: “Whatever makes a child want to glue macaroni on a paper has always been strong in me,” he testifies. He’s referring to the primitive arts-and-crafts projects he enjoyed while growing up. In accordance with astrological omens, I encourage you, too, to get in touch and commune with the primal roots of the things you love to do.

Reconnect with the original expressions of your passion for life.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “A single ego is an absurdly narrow vantage point from which to view the world,” wrote occultist Aleister Crowley. Author Gore Vidal agreed, saying, “Since no one can ever know for certain whether or not his own view of life is the correct one, it is absolutely impossible for him to know if someone else’s is the wrong one.” All of us can perpetually benefit from this counsel. And it will be especially healthy for you to heed during the next four weeks. Humility will be a superpower. Blessings will flow your way if you don’t need to be right all the time. As you refrain from regarding your own opinions as God’s holy decrees, you will generate good fortune for yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “It’s a rare gift, to know where you need to be, before you’ve been to all the places you don’t need to be.” Author Ursula K. Le Guin wrote that. I’m passing it on to you because I suspect you now possess the power to claim this rare gift. In the coming days, you don’t have to engage in endless evaluations of the numerous possibilities. You don’t have to risk falling victim to overthinking. Your clear, strong gut hunches will tell you exactly where you need to be and how to get there.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Novelist Henry Miller was in many ways a quintessential Capricorn. He described himself as being “in love with love, always in search of the absolute, always seeking the unattainable.” Feelings like those are why your astrological symbol is the mountain goat that’s always climbing higher, questing toward the next pinnacle. At your best, you’re determined to keep striving for the brightest, the strongest, the truest. Sometimes you overdo this admirable imperative, but mostly it’s a beautiful quality. You are hereby authorized to express it with maximum wisdom and eagerness in the coming weeks.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Go catch a falling star,” wrote poet John Donne (1572–1631) in his poem “Song.” “Tell me who cleft the Devil’s foot,” he went on to say. “Teach me to hear the mermaids singing.” He wasn’t being literal, but rather was indulging in poetic fancy to stretch his readers’ imaginations. I’m offering you the spirit of Donne’s poem, Aquarius, because you’re ripe to transcend your limited notions about what’s plausible and implausible. If you allow yourself to get extravagant and unruly in your fantasies, you may crack through shrunken expectations and break into a spacious realm of novel possibilities.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I don’t suggest you indulge daringly in sensual pleasures, cathartic exchanges of energy, and intoxicating pursuits of relief and release. The pandemic mandates us to be cautious about engaging in unmitigated bliss—even though the astrological omens suggest that if now were a normal time, such activities would be well worth focusing on. How can you resolve this dilemma? Possibilities: 1. Experiment zestfully with your live-in steady or spouse. 2. Get a COVID-19 test with a potential playmate, and if you both test negative, celebrate boisterously. 2. Round up a dazzler with whom you can generate rapture via Zoom. 3.

Fantasize about delightfully gracious debauchery. 4. Go solo. l

Homework: In your fantasy, create an alternate version of yourself with a different name and a different life. FreeWillAstrology.com

Welcome to NCJ Burger Week!

2020

Join us in this week-long celebration of the glorious creation known as the hamburger. This year, 16 restaurants are participating in the revelry, using everything from pineapple to meatloaf to brisket to Brussels sprouts to offer up mind-boggling creations. And the bacon.

So much beloved bacon. Sixteen burgers in 10 days.

Can you try them all? We think you can. Godspeed.

NCJ Burger Week Pro Tips Sometimes restaurants run out of burgers.

Good news: #NCJBurgerWeek will be as meaty as last year and adapted to shelter in place. That also means more fellow patrons showing up for dine-in and/or takeout, 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 has spread and your favorite participating spot may go from sleepy to busy. Don’t be surprised if you have to wait a little and be sure to follow social distancing protocols. 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. And they’re doing it in a pandemic. Tip at least 20 percent (yes, for takeout, too) 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.

Try something new Use our handy NCJ Burger Week bingo game to keep track of your burger conquests and maybe win a prize.
